Chapter 4489: The Duan Clan

Tan Xiu Teng was taken aback upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words. When he returned to his senses, he shook his head and said confidently with a smile, “Young master, this matter is easy. Although the Duan clan is a demi-saint-rank force, not many of its members below the realm of supreme powerhouses are a match for you. As such, the Duan clan will be happy to have you. With your strength, they won’t suspect you to be a spy sent by enemies of the clan. Moreover, with your strength, they won’t send you to an opposing force to be a spy as well. As long as you show your strength, the Duan clan will definitely welcome you.”

Tan Xiu Teng’s strength was only mediocre, but he was aware of many things. Although Duan Ling Tian was not a peerless top advanced Supreme God yet, he was definitely part of a small group of people who were very close to becoming a peerless top advanced Supreme God in both the Outer Boundary and the Myriad Worlds.

Previously, when Duan Ling Tian fought against those who were close to becoming peerless top advanced Supreme Gods, Tan Xiu Teng had seen it even though he was in an independent realm. He knew Duan Ling Tian was not weaker than Linghu Yun Di, who was known as the strongest among those below the realm of peerless top advanced Supreme Gods in the Peaceful Might

Realm.

Even in the Three Great Sacred Realms, there were not many people like Duan Ling Tian and Linghu Yun Di. They were not particularly rare, but there were not many of them either. At least, there was almost no one like them in the demi-saint-rank forces in the Sacred Lightning Realm. Most, if not all, of them were in the saint-rank force.

Duan Ling Tian felt much more at ease after listening to Tan Xiu Teng’s words. Indeed, Tan Xiu Teng’s words made sense. His law of space had just improved, and he only had one fight after that. As such, he did not know the full extent of his strength yet.

‘With my current strength, even if I’m exposed and everyone finds out that I possess those supreme treasures, I might be able to protect myself with a demi-saint-rank force behind me… Moreover, my strength isn’t my biggest advantage; my young age is my biggest advantage!”

Duan Ling Tian was further enlightened after listening to Tan Xiu Teng. At the same time, he also realized other benefits of joining a demi-saint-rank force.

“I’ll go to the Duan clan’s estate tomorrow to join them,” Duan Ling Tian said decisively in a deep voice.

“Master,” Tan Xiu Teng shook his head and smiled, “The Duan clan’s main estate isn’t in Tourmaline Holy City, but they have a place for recruiting talents in the city. You only need to go there. With your strength, I’m sure the Duan clan will send an elder to welcome you.”

Duan Ling Tian’s eyes brightened upon hearing Tan Xiu Teng’s words. “Alright. I’ll go to that place tomorrow!”

Duan Ling Tian could not help but feel excited when he thought about joining a demi-saint-rank force and becoming an interim elder. Most importantly, he would have a chance to save Ke’er as well.

Although Situ Lei had once told him that only Saints, otherwise also known as World supreme powerhouses, could free Ke’er from the soul imprisonment technique, he still held a glimmer of hope that a demi Saint could save Ke’er. After all, the supreme powerhouse, who had merged with Yun Qing Yan, was not at the peak of his strength when he used that technique on Ke’er. Perhaps, the technique was weaker than what it would be if that supreme powerhouse was at the peak of his strength.

Many thoughts raced through Duan Ling Tian’s mind at this moment.

‘What if… What if it really works? I have to take a chance!’

The Tourmaline Holy City’s Duan clan was one of the three strongest demi-saint-rank forces in the city, but its estate was not in the city. It was located not far away from the city. It would take an ordinary rudimentary Supreme God at most 15 minutes to travel to the Duan clan’s estate from Tourmaline Holy City. Needless to say, it would be even faster for intermediate and advanced Supreme Gods. As for supreme powerhouses, it would only take them a few breaths.

Today, the Duan clan received a special guest. After all, the guest was from the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion, a saint-rank force.

“Honorable Envoy, I, Duan Bing, welcome you to the Duan clan!”

Although the envoy from the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion was not a supreme powerhouse, the Duan clan did not show any disrespect. Even the Clan Leader of the Duan clan greeted him respectfully and treated him courteously.

Duan Bing, the Clan Leader of the Duan clan, was a middle-aged man with a gentle appearance. His eyes were clear and bright, and his gaze was determined. Despite his gentle appearance, he carried an aura of majesty and ferocity as well.

“Clan Leader Duan.”

The envoy from the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion was an old man. Upon seeing how courteous Duan Bing was, he could not help but smile as he said, “Clan Leader Duan, I came on the order of my superior. The Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion recently discovered a Realm of Origin. Based on the information we gathered, there are quite a number of treasures in there, and many of them were treasures that the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion has been looking for. This time, the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion plans to join forces with demi-saint-rank forces and explore the Realm of Origin together.”

Duan Bing’s eyes lit up upon hearing the old man’s words. However, he also knew that there would be conditions to enter the Realm of Origin. There was no such thing as a free lunch after all. This was not the first time such a thing had happened. Under normal circumstances, the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion would not allow others to enter a Realm of Origin without any conditions and would explore and collect the treasures inside on their own.

“It’s the same as before. If your people find what our Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion needs, we’ll exchange it with other treasures. As such, you won’t suffer a loss. As for treasures we don’t need, you can keep what you find,” the old man said.

“Honorable Envoy,” Duan Bing asked without beating around the bush, “What about the requirements for the people entering the Realm of Origin?

In the past, those who entered the Realms of Origins discovered by the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion had to meet certain requirements. Sometimes, there would be a minimum and maximum limit for their cultivation bases. Other times, the entrants had to comprehend the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth to a certain level. There were also times when there was an age limit. In short, there were all kinds of conditions.

For this reason, Duan Bing could not easily guess the conditions this time.

The old man also replied without beating around the bush, “Needless to say, they can’t be supreme powerhouses. Apart from that, they have to comprehend the Sword Dao to the fourth stage.”

Duan Bing inhaled sharply upon hearing the old man’s words.

‘Fourth stage of the Sword Dao?!’

“What about another Weapon Dao?” Duan Bing asked again.

“No,” the old man shook his head and said, “It has to be the Sword Dao. Other Weapon Daos won’t work. This time, the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion allows you to search for entrants outside your clan to help you. The Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion will also reward the force that finds us the most treasures that we need, and the reward will be presented by the Supreme Saint of our Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion.”

‘The Supreme Saint?!’

Duan Bing’s heart skipped a beat. He naturally knew the Supreme Saint of the Jade Tide Mansion. The other party was one of the overlords of the Sacred Lightning Realm.

“The Realm of Origin will open in ten years so you have time to search for someone who meets this requirement. Before the time is up, the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion will send someone here to pick the people you select to enter the Realm of Origin..”
