Chapter 4488: Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion, the Saint-Rank Force

Tourmaline City was one of many holy cities in the Sacred Lightning Realm. It was one of the five holy cities that were governed by a saint-rank force called the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion.

There were many other forces in these holy cities. Some of them were subordinates of the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion, and some only had a cooperative relationship with the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion. These forces with only cooperative relationships with the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion were mostly demi-saint-rank forces. These were the only forces the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion deigned to cooperate with.

The Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion had one Saint and a few demi Saint in its ranks.

After they found an inn to settle in, Tan Xiu Teng, who had traveled to the Sacred Lightning Realm and had also been in Tourmaline Holy City in the past, began to tell Duan Ling Tian everything he knew about Tourmaline Holy City.

“Young master, Tourmaline Holy City…”

Apart from the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion, Tan Xiu Teng told Duan Ling Tian about the three strongest demi-saint-rank forces in Tourmaline Holy City. Coincidentally, the inn they were staying in belonged to one of the three demi-saint-rank forces, the Duan clan.

“Young master, if you didn’t tell me that you’re not from the Outer Boundary and that you’re from the Myriad Worlds, I would’ve wondered if you were from Tourmaline Holy City’s Duan clan,” Tan Xiu Teng said.

Duan Ling Tian hid his identity after he arrived in the Outer Boundary. Tan Xiu Teng, who had sworn on the Heaven’s Vault Blood Oath, was among the few people who knew his true identity.

Duan Ling Tian was slightly surprised when he heard that the Duan clan, which owned the inn he was staying in, was a demi-saint-rank force. It was not that he had never encountered any clans with the surname Duan in the past, but most of them were of moderate strength at most, unlike the demi-saint-rank Duan clan in Tourmaline Holy City. It was definitely the strongest Duan clan he had heard of so far.

“Apart from these things, I don’t know anything else. After all, I’m too weak in Tourmaline Holy City. What I know is only public information, ” Tan Xiu Teng said.

Duan Ling Tian nodded. At the same time, he fell deep into his thoughts.

As a saint-rank force, the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion naturally had a Saint, which was known as World supreme powerhouse in the Myriad Worlds. They were the most powerful supreme powerhouses, and their number was small in both the Outer Boundary and the Myriad Worlds.

‘Saint should be able to free Ke’er from the Soul Imprisonment Clan’s technique. After all, Saints are the strongest supreme powerhouses…’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself. He knew that the same could not be said for a demi Saint.

Saints were still supreme powerhouses despite their strength that surpassed most supreme powerhouses. Their power, which had undergone a significant qualitative change, made it seem like they were above other supreme powerhouses.

For this reason, Duan Ling Tian hoped that the technique cast by Yun Qing Yan, who had merged with a supreme powerhouse from the Soul Imprisonment Clan, could be broken by a Saint.

After all, Supreme Gods could easily break the techniques cast by Emperors of Gods. Similarly, even the weakest supreme powerhouses could easily break techniques cast by Supreme Gods due to the differences in cultivation bases.

‘Perhaps, I’ll be able to save Ke’er if I can persuade the Saint from the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion to help me…’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself excitedly.

However, it was not long before his excitement was replaced by helplessness and disappointment. After all, it would not be easy to ask for a favor from a Saint.

Perhaps, if he was a peerless top advanced Supreme God and could be a proxy for the Saint in Realms of Origins, he could convince the Saint to help him.

Alas, he was not a peerless top advanced Supreme God. Regardless of how close he was to the realm of peerless top advanced Supreme Gods, he was not; even the weakest peerless top advanced Supreme Gods could easily defeat him now.

‘It’s almost impossible for me to further improve my law of space at this stage…

It’s not easy to improve my Sword Dao as well…’

Duan Ling Tian knew that he had reached a bottleneck for now. He still had ways to go before becoming a peerless top advanced Supreme God. He was not sure if his wife, Ke’er, would be able to wait so long.

‘Apart from that, why haven’t I sensed any signs of me becoming a supreme powerhouse? Under normal circumstances, those who comprehended one of the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth to a certain level and comprehended a law to the perfect form will be able to sense a slight pull from the realm of supreme powerhouses… After sensing the pull, one will be able to break into the realm of supreme powerhouses. If one doesn’t respond to the pull, one will not be able to become a supreme powerhouse again unless one becomes a peerless top advanced Supreme God first.’

This was a rule of heaven and earth.

Those who met the requirements to become supreme powerhouses would be called once. One would be able to become a supreme powerhouse if one responded to the call. Otherwise, one would have to take on the challenging task of becoming a peerless top advanced Supreme God before one would be able to become a supreme powerhouse.

‘Should I join one of the demi-saint-rank forces in Tourmaline Holy City first?

Perhaps, I’ll be able to convince a demi Saint to help me save Ke’er. However,

I’m not sure a demi Saint will be able to help…’

Duan Ling Tian grew more and more frustrated as he thought about this. He was worried about wasting his time if the demi Saint was not strong enough to help Ke’er. After all, he did not know how much time Ke’er had.

‘It doesn’t matter. I have no other choice. Even if the chances are low, I still have to try,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself as his eyes shone with determination, ‘The Duan clan… Perhaps, I’m destined to join it. After joining the clan, I’ll look for a chance to ask for help from the demi Saint in the clan. I hope he’ll go to the God Defying World and try to break the Soul Imprisonment Technique on Ke’er…’

With this thought in mind, Duan Ling Tian looked at Tan Xiu Teng and said in a deep voice, “I plan to join the Duan clan as an interim elder. How do I go about doing that?”

Although Tan Xiu Teng was as powerful as Duan Ling Tian, he had lived for a long time and grew up in the Outer Boundary after all. It was only natural that he was more knowledgeable and able to advise Duan Ling Tian in many matters..
