Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Ren Tie Qiu’s expression turned unsightly when he heard Ye Chen Feng’s words. He did not expect that Ye Chen Feng would be domineering to this extent. Ye Chen Feng was even willing to wage war against the Alliance of Benevolence and Justice just for his grand disciple. Although he was displeased, he remained silent. In the past, he would have retorted without hesitation. Although he was still no match for Ye Chen Feng in the past, it would still take a lot for Ye Chen Feng to defeat him. However, now that Ye Chen Feng possessed a prominent divine artifact with a complete artifact soul, it would not be as difficult for Ye Chen Feng to kill him. In the end, he only said, “I hope you remember the words you said today.”
Needless to say, no one was aware of the exchange between Ye Chen Feng and Ren Tie Qiu.
After Ye Ying Cai’s ruthless move, the members of the Alliance of Benevolence and Justice were hostile toward not only Ye Ying Cai but the other members of the Pure Yang Sect as well.
“It seems like the participants from the Alliance of Benevolence and Justice won’t hold back anymore if they encounter any of us,” one of the young disciples from the Pure Yang Sect muttered.
The other young disciples from the Pure Yang Sect agreed. Some of them even scowled at Ye Ying Cai for putting them in such a predicament. Alas, they could only complain inwardly. After all, Ye Chen Feng, the founder of the Hidden Sword faction was present. Moreover, if they made their dissatisfaction too obvious, the Alliance of Benevolence and Justice might think they were afraid.
...
The elite group battle continued. Over the next few days, many younger disciples of the Alliance of Benevolence and Justice were disappointed because none of them encountered opponents from the Pure Yang Sect.
After defeating his opponent and returning from the battlefield, one ofthe stronger participants from the Alliance of Benevolence and Justice said with unconcealed disappointment, “If my opponent were from the Pure Yang Sect, I would’ve made a killing move! Alas, it was not meant to be!”
“Don’t worry. This round will continue for some time. As of today, only a few of us were chosen to fight. I believe there’s a high chance one of us will be matched with someone from the Pure Yang Sect soon.”
“I hope we’ll be matched with those from the Pure Yang Sect. Except for Duan Ling Tian and few who are on par with Ye Ying Cai, I’m not afraid of the others.”
“Let’s just wait. We’ll be able to get our revenge soon.”
The participants from the Alliance of Benevolence and Justice, just like the other forces, were prodigies of the alliance. They were naturally arrogant. After suffering such a huge loss, it was not surprising that they would hold a grudge and were intent on seeking revenge.
On the contrary, the weaker young disciples from the Pure Yang Sect were very worried, hoping they would not be matched with someone from the Alliance of Benevolence and Justice. Needless to say, those who were confident remained unfazed.
When the sun set, the competition came to a halt. People from various forces returned to their designated accommodations.
Duan Ling Tian had just arrived at his wooden house when he saw Zhen Ping Fan. He asked, surprised, “Elder Zhen, what brings you here?”
“Duan Ling Tian, let’s talk inside,” Zhen Ping Fan said as he gestured to Duan Ling Tian and entered the wooden house as though he lived there.
Duan Ling Tian wondered about the purpose of Zhen Ping Fan’s visit. Since the Seven Mansions Feast began, this was the first time he came looking for Duan Ling Tian. After following Zhen Ping Fan into the wooden house, he saw Zhen Ping Fan bringing out a Formation compass. His expression turned solemn immediately. Since Zhen Ping Fan had brought out an isolation Formation compass to prevent intermediate Emperors of Gods from eavesdropping, it was clear that Zhen Ping Fan had to speak about something important.
“Elder Zhen?” Duan Ling Tian looked at Zhen Ping Fan, puzzled.
“Duan Ling Tian,” Zhen Ping Fan said seriously, “Junior Uncle Ye sent me here to speak to you.”
“Elder Ye?” Duan Ling Tian was further puzzled. Since he was rather familiar with Ye Chen Feng, he wondered why Ye Chen Feng did not personally speak to him.
Then, Zhen Ping Fan quickly relayed Ye Chen Feng’s words to him.
“The Supreme Divine Mansion? So it’s highly likely that Yang Qian Ye was able to improve by leaps and bounds in such a short time because he entered a Supreme Divine Mansion? Elder Ye suspects that Yuan Han Jin, Yang Qian Ye’s master, knows the location of the Supreme Divine Mansion and that the deaths of his disciples previously are likely a result of him sending them into the Supreme Divine Mansion?”
Duan Ling Tian was shocked. This was also the first time he had heard of the Supreme Divine Mansion and that the place was in fact a spatial prominent divine artifact that supreme powerhouses used to cultivate their descendants. He also learned from Zhen Ping Fan that if a supreme powerhouse perished, his or her Supreme Divine Mansion would randomly end up in a Realm of Gods. It had a higher chance of appearing in the Realm of Gods of the supreme powerhouse who killed him or her. After all, the killer would be able to seize the other party’s Supreme Divine Mansion.
For example, the Supreme Divine Mansion in the Profound Energy Land was likely placed here by the supreme powerhouse who created the Profound Energy Land. It would serve as a way for the inhabitants of the Profound Energy Land to improve their cultivation. However, only those with a strong will and determination would be able to reap the benefits from such a place.
Duan Ling Tian also learned that it took a lot of effort to create Supreme Divine Mansions. To prevent other supreme powerhouses from benefiting from it, the creator would design the mansion in such a way that those who were not intended to enter the place would have a tough time in there. As such, it required a very strong will for one to survive there. Moreover, the creator would also make it useless to other supreme powerhouses. For this reason, supreme powerhouses who obtained Supreme Divine Mansions would casually toss them away if they did not have a Realm of Gods or toss them into their Realms of Gods if they had one.
Zhen Ping Fan nodded. “That’s right.”
Duan Ling Tian’s eyes lit up as he asked, “Did Elder Ye send you here to ask if I’m interested in entering the Supreme Divine Mansion? Or if I’m confident that my will is strong enough to survive the Supreme Divine Mansion?”
Zhen Ping Fan nodded. “That’s right. Junior Uncle Ye sent me here to speak to you because he didn’t want his presence to pressure you into making a hasty decision. After all, you can’t be reckless regarding this matter. It’ll be a fortuitous encounter if you survive. Otherwise, you’ll die.” After a moment, he added, “However, don’t get your hopes up yet. Since Junior Uncle Ye has yet to speak to Junior Uncle Ping Shen, his suspicion isn’t confirmed. Moreover, he’s also not certain if intermediate Lords of Gods can enter that place. When Yang Qian Ye entered the Supreme Divine Mansion, he was still a rudimentary Lord of Gods, after all.”
Duan Ling Tian frowned. “So the Supreme Divine Mansion might have restrictions?”
“Normally, there shouldn’tbe a restriction. However, we don’t know how much of the Supreme Divine Mansion’s energy has been exhausted. If too much time has passed, it likely can only accommodate rudimentary Lords of Gods,” Zhen Ping Fan explained. Then, he said, “Junior Uncle Ye has also spoken to Ye Ying Cai about this. Ye Ying Cai is determined to enter the Supreme Divine Mansion as well. He’s determined to avenge his father and his clan.”
Zhen Ping Fan’s expression turned solemn as he said, “However, if you ask me, I don’t think you should risk entering the Supreme Divine Mansion. You’re still young, and you’re highly talented. There’s no need for you to take such risks.”
In Zhen Ping Fan’s opinion, Duan Ling Tian was very talented. Even if Duan Ling Tian did not enter the Supreme Divine Mansion, Duan Ling Tian would at most have to spend a little more time to raise his cultivation base. He knew about Duan Ling Tian’s cautious nature and that Duan Ling Tian would know how to weigh the pros and cons of entering the Supreme Divine Mansion. However, he still could not help but remind Duan Ling Tian.
