4501 Return to the God Defying World
Duan You Wei, the old ancestor of the Duan clan and a demi Saint, was naturally not stupid. She was friendly toward Duan Ling Tian due to his age and strength. Perhaps, ordinary demi Saints might not be able to sense his age as accurately as she did, but she comprehended the law of life. Moreover, her law of life was very close to reaching the paramount stage. She had never heard of anyone almost as strong as a peerless advanced Supreme God under the age of 3,000, let alone meet one. Based on her knowledge, a prodigy like Duan Ling Tian was unprecedented in both the Outer Boundary and the Myriad Worlds. For this reason, it was only natural for her to make a connection with Duan Ling Tian, who had yet to reach his potential in cultivation; she did not treat him like she did her other juniors. Perhaps, once Duan Ling Tian became a World supreme powerhouse in the future, the Duan clan would not need to rely on the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion anymore.
‘Even Saints weren’t as strong as him at his age… He might even surpass those Saints in the future…’ Duan You Wei thought to herself.
Duan Ling Tian felt both flattered and uneasy by Duan You Wei’s friendly treatment. He called out hesitantly, “Old ancestor…”
Once again, before Duan Ling Tian could finish speaking, Duan You Wei said unhappily with a frown on her face, “Didn’t I say to drop the formality and to treat each other like siblings? Do you think I’m not worthy of being addressed as ‘sister’?” Then, a mischievous grin appeared on her face before she continued to say, “I heard that you need my help. If you treat me like your elder sister, I’ll definitely do my best to help you.”
Duan Ling Tian was rendered speechless by these words. After a moment, he called out, slightly reluctant, “Sister Wei…
Duan You Wei waved her hand, sending two Floating Image Pearls to Duan Ling Tian as she said, “Here’s a gift for our first meeting, little brother. Based on your current strength, these are the only things in my possessions that are useful to you. They contain the recordings of two peerless top advanced Supreme Gods who comprehended the law of space.”
Duan Ling Tian was shocked by Duan You Wei’s words. He did not expect that he would be so lucky and obtain two Floating Image Pearls that contained the recordings of two peerless top advanced Supreme Gods, who comprehended the law of space, again. His shock was quickly replaced with delight. Everyone’s comprehension of the same law was different. As such, he would gain more insight by studying various experts of the law of space.
After a brief moment, Duan Ling Tian said sincerely, “Thank you, Sister Wei.”
Duan Ling Tian was naturally aware that Duan You Wei’s friendly treatment was due to his potential. Her actions now were akin to an investment. However, he did not mind it. After all, even if it was an investment, there was no guarantee that he would definitely live up to his potential and stand at the peak of the Outer Boundary and the Myriad Worlds. Her willingness to invest in him meant that she was confident he would become a Saint.
“Alright. Let’s return to your homeland,” Duan You Wei said.
Duan Ling Tian’s eyes brightened upon hearing these words. This was his goal after all. Before joining the Duan clan, he had wanted to bring Duan You Wei back to the God Defying World to have a look at Ke’er, hoping that Duan You Wei would be able to free Ke’er from the soul imprisonment technique.
Seeing the hope in Duan Ling Tian’s eyes, Duan You Wei said, “I’ll be honest with you. I’m not confident that I’ll be able to help.”
Previously, Duan Bing, the Clan Leader of the Duan clan, had filled Duan You Wei in before she met Duan Ling Tian.
Duan You Wei added, “However, with my current strength, I’m confident I’ll be able to slow down the deterioration of her soul.”
Duan Ling Tian, who was stunned by Duan You Wei’s earlier words, quickly recovered his senses and said happily, “It’s good enough if you can delay the deterioration of her soul!”
Duan Ling Tian did not expect this at all. With this, he felt that he really made the right choice by joining the Duan clan.
“We’ll go to the transportation site in the Sacred Lightning Realm to travel to the God Defying World,” Duan You Wei said. Then, she raised her hand and brought Duan Ling Tian with her, leaving the Duan clan’s estate at the speed of light.
Duan Ling Tian’s surroundings were a blur due to Duan You Wei’s incredibly fast speed. He exclaimed inwardly, ‘This is the strength of a demi Saint!’
Duan You Wei was the first demi Saint Duan Ling Tian had met.
‘The God Defying World must have demi Saints as well…’
Duan Ling Tian was no longer as clueless as he once was. He knew the Three Upper Worlds of the Myriad Worlds had more than one World supreme powerhouse, and that the 18 Middle Worlds had one World supreme powerhouse each or at least imminent World supreme powerhouses. Imminent World supreme powerhouses were also known as demi Saints in the Outer Boundary.
During Duan Ling Tian’s time in the Outer Boundary, he had heard that the God Defying World was one of the stronger Worlds among the 18 Middle Worlds and that there was a World supreme powerhouse in the God Defying World. At that time, he could not help but think of the master of the supreme powerhouse who brought him to the divine fountain.
‘I wonder what level he is at… Is he an imminent World supreme powerhouse or only close to becoming one?’
