Although Yang Wen could not kill Duan Ling Tian now, it did not mean he could not kill Duan Ling Tian in the future.
He could not kill Duan Ling Tian now because he was afraid of the Fire Worship Sect's rules. In the future, if he had an opportunity, he would definitely kill Duan Ling Tian to avenge his younger brother, Yang Wu!
"What's Senior Brother Yang Wen doing?"
"It looks like he's waiting for Duan Ling Tian to come out."
Yang Wen had attracted the attention of many Saint Land disciples. They figured out Yang Wen had come here because of the new disciple, Duan Ling Tian. They could tell he was not here to have a heartfelt talk with Duan Ling Tian. This could be seen from his menacing attitude. They were certain he came with ill intent.
"Does Duan Ling Tian and Senior Brother Yang Wen has enmity with each other? I've never heard of this before!"
"Me too! Not only that, prior to this, one of them is in the Saint Land and the other one was in the Four Symbols Sanctums. I don't think they've met, right?"
"What's going on?"
Many Saint Land disciples were puzzled.
"No way! Don't tell me all of you don't know about the enmity between Senior Brother Yang Wen and Duan Ling Tian?" A Saint Land disciple asked in shock. It seemed like he was surprised they did not know about what happened.
"Why? Do you know something?" The group of Saint Land disciples shifted their gaze to this Saint Land disciple.
"Do you still remember when Duan Ling Tian arrived at the Fire Worship Sect's Black Turtle Sanctum, and how the enmity between him and the Black Turtle Sanctum's First Silver Flame Elder Li An begin?" The Saint Land disciple asked in response, keeping the others in suspense.
"Of course!" As soon as he finished speaking, another Saint Land disciples nodded and chimed in, "It's because Duan Ling Tian killed the son of Li An's best friend!"
The other Saint Land disciples nodded.
They had also heard of this before.
Due to this reason, they admired Duan Ling Tian a lot since not everyone was bold enough to publicly offend a Fire Worship Sect's Silver Flame Elder the moment they arrived at the sect.
"Since all of you know about this, then, do you know who's Li An's best friend?" The previous Saint Land disciple asked again.
"Who?"
"Stop with the guessing game! Just tell us who he is!"
'That's right! If you continue to keep us guessing, do you believe we'll beat you up?!"
Many Saint Land disciples were furious when this Saint Land disciple kept them guessing. They stared at him furiously as though they would beat him up if he continued to keep them guessing.
Although some Saint Land disciple maintained their composure, the looks they gave this Saint Land disciple were not kind anymore.
At this moment, another Saint Land disciple who had been thinking suddenly cried out, "It's Yang Chong!" It was clear he had only just remembered this.
"Yang Chong? Oh, yes, I remember now! It's Yang Chong!"
"I remember as well! That person whom Duan Ling Tian killed that day was Yang Wu, the son of the fifth elder of Northern Plethora Sect!"
The moment this Saint Land disciple spoke, another two Saint Land disciples chimed in as well.
"Don't tell me Senior Brother Yang Wen has connections with Yang Chong, the fifth elder of the Northern Plethora Sect?" At the same time, the Saint Land disciples present on the scene began to guess.
Meanwhile, most of the Saint Land disciples shifted their gaze to the Saint Land disciple who liked to keep them guessing. All of them were eagerly waiting for his answer.
He no longer dared to keep them guessing after seeing how furious they were. He answered without beating around the bush, "Senior Brother Yang Wen is none other than the eldest son of Yang Chong, the fifth elder of the Northern Plethora Sect! Yang Wu whom Duan Ling Tian killed was Senior Brother Yang Wen's brother!"
Clamor!
The instant the Saint Land disciple's words left his mouth, the entire scene fell silent for a moment before a commotion broke out.
"Senior Brother Yang Wen is the son of Yang Chong, the fifth elder of the Northern Plethora Sect?"
"My goodness! Is this real? I've not heard of it before!"
"Me neither!"
After learning that their Fire Worship Sect's true disciple, Yang Wen, was the son of Yang Chong, the fifth elder of the Northern Plethora Sect, many Saint Land disciples present on the scene were shocked. Prior to this, they did not know Yang Wen was the son of Yang Chong, the fifth elder of the Northern Plethora Sect.
"Senior Brother Yang Wen really hid this well. To think he's the son of the fifth elder of Northern Plethora Sect!"
"Before this, I've only heard that Senior Brother Yang Wen is a very haughty person. Now I finally understand! To think he did not rely on his father and forged a name for himself with his own strength!"
After the Saint Land disciples found out about Yang Wen's identity, all sorts of feelings welled up in their hearts.
"In that case, it makes sense why Senior Brother Yang Wen came for Duan Ling Tian with ill intention. Since Duan Ling Tian killed his younger brother, it would be impossible for him to let the matter go!"
"That's right! Perhaps, Senior Brother Yang Wen won't be bold enough to kill or cripple Duan Ling Tian due to the sect's rules. However, he can still torture Duan Ling Tian. This is an unspoken rule in the sect after all."
"Does this mean Duan Ling Tian is doomed?"
"Of course! Although he's strong and invincible among those below the Saint Celestial Stage, his strength is nothing compared to Senior Brother Yang Wen who's at the First Form of the Saint Celestial Stage!"
"That's right! There's a huge gap between the Saint Celestial Stage and the Quintessential Saint Stage They're like thousands of miles apart! Duan Ling Tian's strength can't be compared to Senior Brother Yang Wen's strength at all!"
"Looks like Duan Ling Tian would have his skin stripped off him even if he's not killed or crippled!"
After finding out about Yang Wen's identity, the group of Saint Land disciples was no longer surprised by Yang Wen's fury toward Duan Ling Tian. Instead, they began to pity Duan Ling Tian.
Although they had heard that Duan Ling Tian's strength was very close to the Saint Celestial Stage, being close to it was very different from being at the Saint Celestial Stage after all!
For this reason, in their opinion, it was impossible for Duan Ling Tian to be a match for Yang Wen. He was destined to be tortured by Yang Wen!
Due to the reason that the soundproof effect of the stone houses in the Saint Land disciples' residence was very good, Duan Ling Tian who was in the fourth level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda was unaware of what was happening outside. He did not know a Saint Celestial Stage powerhouse was waiting for him to go out.
At this moment, Duan Ling Tian was standing as straight as a javelin in the fourth level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda! He did not move at all just like a statue. Nobody knew what he was doing.
Time passed by quietly.
A day went by.
Two days went by.
…
Duan Ling Tian only moved after a month had passed.
With a raise of his hand, a plain and unadorned three-foot-long blade appeared in his hand. It was the Celestial Supreme Treasure, the Jasper Celestial Sword!
With just one glance, the Jasper Celestial Sword appeared like an ordinary sword.
Swish!
However, when Duan Ling Tian wielded it, it emitted a terrifying aura as though it could destroy the universe.
Translucent sword Qi gleamed around the Jasper Celestial Sword. The pressure it emitted was heavy as well.
"Heartfelt Sword, Sword Shadowed Heart, Sword Warding Heart, Sword-Heart Illumination, and Heart-Sword Amalgamation…" Duan Ling Tian muttered with his eyes closed. Nobody knew who he was talking to.
He continued to mutter the names of the five major stages of the Sovereign Heart Sword repeatedly. It was as though he did not know how being tired felt like as he continued to mutter to himself for a long time.
Time flew by.
Another month went by.
Duan Ling Tian who remained motionless after he took the Jasper Celestial Sword out a month ago finally moved again.
A month ago, he wielded the Jasper Celestial Sword and held it horizontally.
Swish!
This time, he wielded the sword vertically before he became motionless again.
In just a blink of an eye, another month went by.
However, this time, Duan Ling Tian still did not move. He stood there, gripping his sword. He looked like a statue of a sword cultivator.
"What a powerful sword Qi!" Elder Huo's figure suddenly appeared in the fourth level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda. His eyes widened in shock as he looked at Duan Ling Tian who was hovering in the air as he gripped his sword.
Although Duan Ling Tian looked ordinary holding on to his sword, Elder Huo could clearly sense the extremely powerful sword Qi emanating from his body. Not only that, but it was extremely dense as though it could slice through anything.
If one paid close attention, one could see that the air around Duan Ling Tian seemed to be rippling outward as though it was affected by an invisible energy.
"He's almost there! I hope he succeeds. If he succeeds, his achievement in the Sovereign Heart Sword would be able to reach the summit of the offensive martial tactics in this mundane realm! Not only that, but it would be even more powerful than most of the top-tier offensive martial tactics in this mundane realm!" Elder Huo muttered to himself before disappearing into thin air.
The air continued to ripple even after Elder Huo left.
By the tenth day, the air around Duan Ling Tian rippled visibly and they spread even further out. It was as though a terrifying force was cutting the air.
"Sword Warding Heart… Oh, I see! I understand now!" Duan Ling Tian suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes were so bright.
Meanwhile, the air around him no longer rippled since it was no longer affected by the piercing energy.
In the next instant, Duan Ling Tian let go of his grip on the sword. At the same time, the Jasper Celestial Sword transformed into a sword ray and swept across the sky. Its speed sped up, and in the end, it disappeared into the air as though it had merged with the air.
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
…
After the Jasper Celestial Sword disappeared, the sounds of sword swishing did not stop. It continued to echo in the fourth level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda.
After about 15 minutes, it finally ended.
At the instant the sound stopped, the Jasper Celestial Sword suddenly appeared back in Duan Ling Tian's hand.
