4505 So It Was Him!
In fact, when they learned that Duan Ling Tian possessed a huge amount of liquid from the divine fountain, the three supreme powerhouses had begun to scheme for it. Alas, Duan Ling Tian seemed to have vanished into thin air after going to the Xia clan in the Divine Offering Land. No one had heard from him again, and they could only dismiss their thoughts.
Duan Ling Tian had rightfully obtained the liquid from the divine fountain. Most importantly, the liquid from the divine fountain had been given by Xiao Mu Bai. As such, it was impossible for the three supreme powerhouses to openly rob it of Duan Ling Tian. They planned to secretly rob him of it, but unexpectedly, he suddenly disappeared, leaving them powerless.
However, now, Duan Ling Tian suddenly reappeared. Clearly, he had just returned from the Outer Boundary. Most importantly, he was accompanied by someone whose strength was comparable to the Lords of the God Defying World. The other party was Duan You Wei, a demi Saint in the Outer Boundary’s Sacred Lightning Realm.
The three supreme powerhouses began to speak among themselves through Voice Transmission.
“How did Duan Ling Tian manage to invite an imminent World supreme powerhouse here with him?”
“It hasn’t been that long since he disappeared, but he has already become an advanced Supreme God?”
“Did he become this woman’s boy toy after he grew stronger? Is that why she’s helping him? Wait! Earlier, she referred to him as her younger brother and even mentioned Duan Ling Tian’s wife…”
“That’s right. It doesn’t seem like he’s her boy toy. That’s not the reason she’s helping him…”
The three supreme powerhouses looked at Duan Ling Tian skeptically, wondering how he got Duan You Wei, an imminent World supreme powerhouse, to help him. In their eyes, Duan Ling Tian was just an advanced Supreme God. They knew that supreme powerhouses valued peerless top advanced Supreme Gods advanced or those who were very close to becoming one. These people were all very powerful among those below the realm of supreme powerhouses. However, in their opinion, it was already shocking enough that Duan Ling Tian became an advanced Supreme God in such a short time and that he likely achieved such a feat thanks to the liquid from the divine fountain. For this reason, they thought that Duan Ling Tian was just an ordinary advanced Supreme God.
Meanwhile, Xiao Mu Bai looked at Duan Ling Tian and said, “Your growth rate is beyond my expectation. You even managed to get a demi Saint to help you…”
Duan Ling Tian was stunned by Xiao Mu Bai’s words.
‘Based on his words… It seems like this person who stands at the peak of the God Defying World has… heard of me?’
However, after thinking about it for a moment, Duan Ling Tian thought it was not that surprising. After all, back then, he became famous on the Realm Battlefield. According to the supreme powerhouse of the Xia clan, many supreme powerhouses knew his name since they coveted the liquid from the divine fountain in his possession. As such, it was not surprising that a Lord of the God Defying World had heard of him. He also knew that it was unlikely that a person like Xiao Mu Bai would covet the liquid from the divine fountain like the others.
At this time, one of the three supreme powerhouses standing at the side said in a barely-concealed sour tone, “Duan Ling Tian, the divine fountain, from which the liquid you obtained was from, was discovered by the lord back then. The lord was the one who proposed using it as a reward for the Realm Battlefield…”
Something stirred in Duan Ling Tian’s mind when he heard these words. All of a sudden, his eyes widened, and he exclaimed in shock, “It was you?! Back then, you were the one who spoke to me and sent me into the divine fountain!”
At this moment, Duan Ling Tian finally recalled Xiao Mu Bai. No wonder he had found Xiao Mu Bai’s voice familiar. Back then, he did not see Xiao Mu Bai, but he had spoken to Xiao Mu Bai.
Duan Ling Tian also remembered that the supreme powerhouse who brought him away from the Realm Battlefield had addressed Xiao Mu Bai very respectfully back then. At that time, he had wondered what kind of person Xiao Mu Bai was to be able to receive such respectful treatment from a supreme powerhouse. As it turned out, Xiao Mu Bai was one of the Lords of the God Defying World.
Xiao Mu Bai nodded. “It was me. You performed very well on the Realm Battlefield and deserved the liquid from the divine fountain. It seems like my decision to give the liquid from the divine fountain away was the right choice…”
After saying that, Xiao Mu Bai looked at Duan You Wei. Since she followed Duan Ling Tian back to the God Defying World to take a look at Ke’er, he knew that Duan You Wei must have placed great importance on Duan Ling Tian.
Duan You Wei smiled slightly and said, “As it turns out, Lord Xiao is acquainted with my younger brother. I have to say that you have a discerning eye for talent. Although my younger brother is young, his strength is enough to cause a commotion in the Outer Boundary and the Myriad Worlds. Based on what I know, someone like him is unprecedented in the history of the Outer Boundary and the Myriad Worlds.”
As expected, Xiao Mu Bai and the other three supreme powerhouses were shocked. They turned to look at Duan Ling Tian in unison.
Xiao Mu Bai did not expect such high praise from Duan You Wei at all.
Duan You Wei continued to say, “Although my younger brother has yet to become a peerless top advanced Supreme God, there’s likely no one below the realm of peerless top advanced Supreme Gods in the Outer Boundary and the Myriad Worlds who can defeat him…”
The eyes of Xiao Mu Bai, who had been composed up until now, brightened as soon as he heard these words.
Meanwhile, the three supreme powerhouses looked at Duan Ling Tian skeptically. They found Duan You Wei’s words hard to believe. In their opinion, this was impossible. Outsiders might not know Duan Ling Tian’s age, but those in the God Defying World knew how old he was when they investigated him after he obtained the liquid from the divine fountain.
On the contrary, Xiao Mu Bai did not seem to doubt Duan You Wei’s words at all. When he looked at Duan Ling Tian, his tone was a little warmer as he asked, “Which of your law has reached the perfect form? The law of space or the law of time?”
“The law of space,” Duan Ling Tian replied.
Xiao Mu Bai nodded. “Since you’re invincible among those below the realm of peerless top advanced Supreme Gods, your Sword Dao must be at the sixth stage at the very least, right?”
Duan Ling Tian nodded as well. “That’s what I heard after I demonstrated my Sword Dao.”
The three supreme powerhouses froze, looking petrified, when they heard Xiao Mu Bai and Duan Ling Tian’s exchange.
‘Is this true?!’
At the same time, Duan You Wei looked at Duan Ling Tian, clearly surprised, as she asked, “Little Tian, you’re also skilled in the law of time?”
Before Duan Ling Tian could reply, Xiao Mu Bai said with a slight smile on his face, “Dark Night Demi Saint, not only is your younger brother skilled in the law of time, but he’s also skilled in the law of life. He has a Divine Tree of Life in his Little World that was left behind by a level-four supreme powerhouse…”
