Chapter 2928 - Liu Guang Lin


Chapter 2928: Liu Guang Lin

The middle-aged man, Old Second, was only a peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial. Faced with the pressure of Duan Ling Tian’s Celestial Origin Energy that was comparable to a Celestial King, he was like a lonely boat at sea on a stormy night that could capsize at any moment.

“Use your cultivation method and break through the bottleneck!” Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words, he regained his senses somewhat. He inhaled deeply before he started cultivating with his cultivation method. Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy converged from all directions, entered his body, and circulated in his body in increasingly big circles.

After a dozen breaths…

Whoosh!

A gust of wind stirred in the air as Duan Ling Tian retracted his Celestial Origin Energy and looked at the middle-aged man indifferently.

Bang!

At this moment, a boundless and majestic energy surged out of Old Second’s body. His eyes flashed briefly when he opened them. The energy surging out from his body was now similar to the short middle-aged man whom Duan Ling Tian had killed earlier. An ecstatic expression could be seen on his face at this moment.

“Congratulations. You must’ve waited a long time for this day,” Duan Ling Tian said tonelessly.

Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words, Old Second prostrated himself before Duan Ling Tian and said, “My lord, I, Liu Guang Lin, thank you for your help! Henceforth, my life belongs to you. As long as you’re willing, my lord, I’m willing to be a slave at your side to serve you, and I’ll never betray you.”

Old Second, whose name was revealed to be Liu Guang Lin, finally had a breakthrough after being a peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial for so many years. It was not because he lacked talents, he just did not have a Duke Grace Cultivation Method that could help him with a breakthrough. One needed to be exceptionally talented to become a Celestial Duke if one cultivated using a cultivation method that was below the duke grade. For example, the short middle-aged man, his leader, had cultivated using a subpar cultivation method, and his former leader was an Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial for a millennium before finally breaking through. Although he was much more talented than his former leader, he still needed 100 years before he could break through. He did not expect to meet a powerhouse who helped him to break through prematurely.

‘His energy earlier… it’s even stronger than that of a Ten Directions Celestial Duke, right?’ Although Liu Guang Lin’s cultivation base was not high, he had traveled far and met many people. Hundreds of years ago, he had casually decided to attend the Alchemy Conference that was hosted by the top sects of the Six Southeastern Regions. During the conference, he was lucky enough to witness Li Ping, the Blissful Sect’s Old Ancestor and a Ten Directions Celestial Duke, in action. He clearly remembered Li Ping’s aura and energy. It was clearly inferior to the purple-clad young man before him.

“You’ll never betray me?” Duan Ling Tian smiled faintly when he heard Liu Guang Lin’s words. ‘Are you not betraying your eight companions now?”

“My lord,” Liu Guang Lin solemnly said, “Out of those eight men, I only owed my life to the leader. As for the others, we only have a mutually-beneficial relationship. If it’s not due to my leader’s life-saving grace, I would’ve already left the group. My lord, I believe you’re magnanimous and wouldn’t kill someone who hasn’t offended you or the lady.” His eyes gleamed knowingly as he looked at Duan Ling Tian and continued to say, “Although he’s my leader, we didn’t have a master-servant relationship. I only followed him out of gratitude. Since now I’m willing to acknowledge you as my master, I will never betray you! Although the Devata Realms don’t have anything like the Lightning Penalty Oath in the mundane realms, I’m willing to sever one of my arms to prove my loyalty to you.”

As soon as Liu Guang Lin finished speaking, he did not hesitate as he lifted his right hand. A saber ray shot out of his right hand toward his left arm.

In Devata Realms, regrowing one’s arm was not easy as it was in the mundane realms. In the mundane realms, there were some rare medicinal plants known as Celestial Herbs that could help one regrow their limbs. However, after one had ascended to the Devata Realm and soaked in the Celestial Ascension Pool, one’s body would turn into that of a celestial. A celestial body, once damaged, would not heal as easily regardless of how many Celestial Herbs one used. Perhaps, if one managed to gather truly rare and precious herb and medicinal pills from the Devata Realms, one might be able to regrow a limb.

Buzz!

The saber ray was about to sever Liu Guang Lin’s left hand when…

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

A gust of wind laced with a terrifying energy swept past and easily destroyed Liu Guang Lin’s saber ray. The saber ray disappeared into thin air in just a blink of an eye.

“I believe you.” Duan Ling Tian said. Having lived in two worlds, he had developed a discerning eye. He could tell Liu Guang Lin was someone who would keep his word and return a favor. Liu Guang Lin’s character could be clearly seen earlier by how he had stayed put and did not abandon his companions even though he knew that only death was waiting for them. This left a rather good impression on Duan Ling Tian. Moreover, unlike the other men, Liu Guang Lin did not behave lecherously toward Huan’er so he had no intention of killing Liu Guang Lin. For all these reasons, when he had extended his Divine Consciousness and discovered that Liu Guang Lin was only a step away from breaking through, he decided to give Liu Guang Lin a helping hand. Most importantly, he needed a reliable helper.

The journey to the central area was a long one. With Huan’er carrying them, their speed would be slow, and they would only attract trouble to themselves. Regardless if Liu Guang Lin was familiar with the central area or not, it would still save Duan Ling Tian a lot of time and effort if they had a Celestial Duke with them.

Duan Ling Tian said indifferently, “From now on, you’ll follow me. I’m Duan Ling Tian. As for her, you can address her as Miss Huan’er. She’s my little sister.”

“Many thanks, my lord.” Liu Guang Lin thanked Duan Ling Tian profusely. Then, he cupped his fists together at Huan’er who was standing next to Duan Ling Tian and said respectfully, “Liu Guang Lin greets Miss Huan’er.”

Alas, Huan’er did not seem to hear Liu Guang Lin’s words. Duan Ling Tian’s words echoed in her mind at this moment. ‘Little sister? As it turns out, he has always considered me as his little sister?’ Although she had long suspected Duan Ling Tian only treated her like a sister and she could feel he was intentionally being oblivious to her feelings, she felt uncomfortable listening to his words.

“My lord, where are you and Miss Huan’er headed to?” Liu Guang Lin asked Duan Ling Tian respectfully.

“We’re intending to leave borderlands for the central area… Since you decided to follow me, I’ll count on you to carry us during the remaining journey to the central area,” Duan Ling Tian said.

“Yes, my lord,” Liu Guang Lin replied respectfully. He assumed Duan Ling Tian did not want to lead the way because Duan Ling Tian wanted to cultivate or comprehend his Celestial Method and Divine Abilities.

Just like that, there was an additional person in Duan Ling Tian’s group.

After traveling for a while, it was clear to Liu Guang Lin that Duan Ling Tian had no intention of cultivating or comprehending techniques. He could not help but curiously asked, “My lord, y-you-re a Celestial King, right?”

“For now, yes.” Duan Ling Tian nodded faintly.

“For now?” Liu Guang Ling was perplexed. He did not understand Duan Ling Tian’s words.

Duan Ling Tian asked, “You must’ve heard of consumable Celestial Weapons, right?”

“Consumable Celestial Weapons?” Liu Guang Lin’s heart thumped loudly in his chest when he heard Duan Ling Tian’s words. “M-my lord… I’ve heard about them, yes. However, I heard they’re as rare as ordinary Emperor Grade Celestial Weapons. I heard consumable weapons are able to bestow immense strength to its user for a time. Moreover, there are no negative side effects to using the consumable Celestial Weapons.” All of a sudden, he stopped speaking as realization dawned on him. His expression was one of shock and disbelief as he looked at Duan Ling Tian and stammered, “M-my lord… do you mean… Is it possible that you…”

“Yes,” Duan Ling Tian nodded and bluntly said, “My current strength is bestowed by a consumable Royal Grade Celestial Weapon. Although I’ve depleted much of the strength, I was as strong as a Five Elements Celestial King. However, after assisting with your breakthrough, my current strength is that of a Four Phenomenons Celestial King.” Then, he continued to explain, “The reason Huan’er was carrying me with her Celestial Origin Energy is so that I can conserve my strength. I asked you to carry us for the remainder of the journey for the same reason as well.”

After a beat, Duan Ling Tian continued to say to Liu Guang Lin without any prompt, “In fact, my true strength is slightly weaker than Huan’er’s strength. I’m only an insignificant Profound Stage Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial. Although I’m about to break through, I’ll only be an Earth Stage Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial.” He had pushed his breakthrough to the back of his mind while he focused on comprehending Celestial Methods, Divine Abilities, and alchemy. He looked at Liu Guang Lin intently as he said, “I’ll give you one chance to leave now that you know the truth. I’ll pretend I didn’t hear your oath earlier.”

Liu Guang Lin inhaled deeply before he solemnly said, “My lord, I’m still willing to follow you!”
