Chapter 1541
When Duan Ling Tian felt the sharp pain on his thigh, he finally realized he was not dreaming.
All of it was real.
He had really obtained the supreme Sword Dao mental cultivation technique that was named Sovereign Heart Sword by Sword Saint Feng Qing Yang.
“Is this Sovereign Heart Sword a cultivation technique or a martial tactic?” Curious, Duan Ling Tian began to search through the extra information in his mind. After going through the information, he began to understand it a little.
The Sovereign Heart Sword was not a cultivation technique nor a martial tactic. Instead, it was a heart cultivation technique for Sword Cultivators.
‘If you want to cultivate the sword, you need to cultivate your heart first. Only when the heart and sword are both present and there’s utmost sincerity that the whole world will step aside and let you pass.’
This was the Sovereign Heart Sword.
“This…” When Duan Ling Tian saw part of the content of the second half of the Sovereign Heart Sword, he was stunned again. “When the Sovereign Heart Sword is cultivated to the highest stage, all of the weapons will submit to me with just a thought?”
According to the explanation, when Sword Saint Feng Qing Yang was at his prime, nobody could use their weapons in front of him.
This was because all of the weapons would submit to him. To be more precise, they would submit to his Sword Heart.
The highest stage of the Sovereign Heart Sword was also called the Heart-Sword Amalgamation.
“Even if I don’t cultivate it to the highest stage, the early stages are also pretty amazing on its own… Although it’s not a martial tactic, it’s far greater than martial tactics!” Duan Ling Tian was shocked by the content of the Sovereign Heart Sword.
As he continued to read on, he saw the last clause of the Sovereign Heart Sword. It was also a summary of the Sovereign Heart Sword.
There were many specific cultivations in the content, but Duan Ling Tian did not read it in detail. He skimmed through it. He wanted to see what the names of all the stages in the Sovereign Heart Sword and what differences they had.
The summary of the Sovereign Heart Sword was not too elaborate. It was only a small paragraph.
“The Sovereign Heart Sword is the fruit of my painstaking labor in my entire life. Although it’s not a Saint Grade Martial Tactic, it far surpasses Saint Grade Martial Tactics. The techniques inside Heaven Rank Prominent Saint Grade Martial Tactic are barely even one-tenth of the Sovereign Heart Sword! Naturally, this will only be the case if you cultivate the Sovereign Heart Sword to the highest stage… Even I only managed to cultivate it to the highest stage in the last ten years before I underwent Transcendence. The person who obtains the Sovereign Heart Sword will become the only successor of my Fog Rain Progeny.” This was the summary of the Sovereign Heart Sword.
Well, instead of saying it was a summary. It was more like an epilogue from Sword Saint Feng Qing Yang.
“The techniques of a Heaven Rank Prominent Saint Grade Martial Tactic are barely even a tenth of it? Is this Heart-Sword Amalgamation, the highest stage of the Sovereign Heart Sword, really that impressive?” Duan Ling Tian found it hard to believe. His first thought was this Sword Saint Feng Qing Yang must be lying.
However, his train of thoughts soon changed its course. He felt that Sword Saint Feng Qing Yang had no need to lie. After all, if he had lied, the truth would come out eventually, and he would only taint his own reputation.
‘If what he said is true… Then, what I possess is more valuable than Heaven Rank Prominent Saint Grade Martial Tactics?’ The moment Duan Ling Tian thought of this, his breathing began to quicken, and he found it hard to calm his emotion.
“Young Master, you’re awake?” Duan Ling Tian had woken up and sat up due to his shock, surprising Xiong Quan.
Everybody else was alerted as well.
“Ling Tian boy, are you alright?” Feng Wu Dao asked, concerned.
“Duan Ling Tian, how are you feeling?” The others were also looking at Duan Ling Tian worriedly.
Faced with everyone’s concern, a warmth enveloped Duan Ling Tian’s heart. He shook his head and said, “I’m alright.”
“Ling Tian boy, you were sitting motionless for half a year before you seemed to have fallen into a state of enlightenment. Are you really enlightened?” Feng Wu Dao asked curiously.
“Yes.” Knowing that it would be difficult to explain his encounter, Duan Ling Tian did not explain too much and just nodded in response to Feng Wu Dao’s question.
The others instantly looked at him enviously.
After all, enlightenment was not something that one could easily obtain.
As the saying went, ‘When one has an epiphany, all of one’s followers would also gain from it.’ They believed Duan Ling Tian’s strength must have been raised tremendously.
Boom!
When the group of people was still surrounding Duan Ling Tian, a loud sound suddenly reverberated in the air, shocking all of them.
At once, they looked at the place where the noise came from.
In the next moment, apart from Duan Ling Tian who was slightly stunned, horror dawned on the others immediately. “What’s going on?”
Under the watchful eyes of the others, the word ‘Sword’ that Sword Saint Feng Qing Yang left behind on the mountain wall suddenly began to crack. To be more precise, the entire mountain wall began to crack.
In just a blink of an eye, a series of deep cracks spread on the mountain wall like spiderwebs.
The word ‘Sword’ began to blur immediately.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
…
In the next instant, a scene that took everyone by surprise, including Duan Ling Tian, appeared. After the mountain wall cracked and fissured, a huge amount of dense green sword Qi shot out from inside and swept out into the surroundings of the wall before the mountain wall shattered into dust.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
…
When a huge surface of the mountain wall shattered, the dust was sent flying up, covering the sky. After a while, it descended before it exploded like a mushroom cloud.
Due to their state of shock, Duan Ling Tian and the others had no time to evade the dust and was covered head to toe in gray.
“What’s going on?” Feng Wu Dao and the others were dumbfounded.
Only Duan Ling Tian seemed to be lost in thoughts when he saw the mountain wall with the word ‘Sword’ was no longer there.
‘Could it be the reason Sword Saint Feng Qing Yang left behind the word ‘Sword’ is to find a successor for the Sovereign Heart Sword? At the end of the information about the Sovereign Heart Sword, he seemed to have mentioned that the person who obtains the Sovereign Heart Sword will also become the only successor of that Fog Rain Progeny or something…. Didn’t he also leave behind a similar legacy in the other two Mortal Continents? Why did he say I’m the only successor? Don’t tell me after he had acknowledged me as the successor of the Sovereign Heart Sword, the word Sword’ on the mountain wall on the other two Mortal Continents has also disappeared?’ Duan Ling Tian speculated inwardly.
Naturally, it was just a speculation, and he was not certain.
What Duan Ling Tian did not know was when he was watching the mountain wall carved with the word ‘Sword’ crumble into dust, somewhere on the other two Mortal Continents, the same thing was also happening.
On one of the Mortal Continents, nobody had found the mountain wall yet.
On the other Mortal Continent, a sect had found it. They had instantly made the place their sect’s Saint Land.
However, today was destined to be an unforgettable day for everyone in the sect.
This was because their sect’s Saint Land was suddenly turned into dust for no apparent reason at all.
A disciple who was guarding the Saint Land noticed the cracks on the mountain wall with word ‘Sword.’ After a while, the high-level officials of the sect came to the Saint Land and witnessed a scene that would be forever engraved in their minds.
After the Saint Wall in their sect’s Saint Land cracked, a dense sword Qi shot out and caused the Saint Wall to crumble into dust.
“The Saint Wall shattered and the Saint Land crumbled… Could it be that God is punishing us for taking this land as our own?” The high-level officials who witnessed the incident all felt glum.
In fact, even the strongest powerhouse in their sect was not able to leave a scratch on the Saint Wall. However, the Saint Wall had turned into dust at this moment.
If this was not a punishment from Heaven, then what was it?
Was there anybody who possessed such strength in this world?
They would have never guessed that this incident happened because the ultimate powerhouse who had left behind what they called the ‘Saint Wall’ had found his only successor.
Since he had found his successor, there was no need for the other mountain walls with words ‘Sword’ to remain.
It was not difficult to imagine they would hunt Duan Ling Tian down and demand him to return their Saint Land if they knew he was the cause of it.
Now that the mountain wall that was carved with the word ‘Sword’ word had turned to dust, the only thing that remained of the word ‘Sword’ was its name, Sword Valley.
Duan Ling Tian and the other hovered above the canyon, standing across one another.
“Everyone, I’ll soon start my journey to the Moon Illumination Sect in the Dao Martial Saint Land. I wonder what are your plans?” Duan Ling Tian asked bluntly as he looked at Feng Wu Dao and the others.
There was no longer anything on Cloud Continent that he cared about. His two fiancées whose whereabouts were unknown filled his heart with worries.
Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s question, Feng Wu Dao and the others turned quiet.
They had spent the past few years in Half Moon Island, and they were used to Half Moon Island to a certain extent.
Currently, Half Moon Island had been turned into ruins. Even if they returned, it would be risky.
At this moment, they really had no plans at all.
“Duan Ling Tian, what kind of place is the Dao Martial Saint Land?” Chen Shao Shuai was the first one to speak.
“Dao Martial Saint Land?” Upon hearing that, Duan Ling Tian pondered silently before he told them about the Dao Martial Saint Land that he knew. At the same time, he told them about his current situation as well.
“If you all want to go to the Dao Martial Saint Land, you can follow me… With my senior brother there, it won’t be difficult to find ask for a place for all of you to stay,” Duan Ling Tian said when he reached the end of his sentence.
Feng Wu Dao and the others had long been interested in the Dao Martial Saint Land described by Duan Ling Tian.
Other than having a far more exaggerated gravitational pull, there was nothing on Cloud Continent or the Mortal Continent that could compare to the Dao Martial Saint Land at all… Over there, even the powerhouses who were at the Martial or Demon Emperor level were considered as nothing.
The cultivation environment, Saint Stones, and Saint Grade Martial Tactics there were very attractive to Feng Wu Dao and the others.
“Duan Ling Tian, are you a Mortal Shedding Stage Martial Cultivator now ?” Nangong Yi could not help but ask as he looked at Duan Ling Tian.
1542 Han Jin Nian
Based on Duan Ling Tian’s words, the others, including Chen Shao Shuai, learned about Mortal Shedding Stage Martial Cultivators in the Dao Martial Saint Land. They knew it was a presence that was superior to Martial and Demon Emperors.
“Mortal Shedding Stage?” When Duan Ling Tian heard Chen Shao Shuai’s words, he shook his head. “I’m not at the Mortal Shedding Stage.”
“Impossible!” Feng Wu Dao and the others did not believe him. “If you’re not at the Mortal Shedding Stage, how can your speed be so fast previously when you brought us back?”
“Exactly! The speed previously was insane! It was so fast I couldn’t even see my surrounding clearly!”
“Duan Ling Tian, you’re not joking with us, right? Although I’ve not reached the Emperor Stage, I know it’s impossible for someone at the peak of the Emperor Stage to possess that kind of speed.”
The people expressed their disbelief.
“I only said I’m not at the Mortal Shedding Stage, but I didn’t say I’m still at the Emperor Stage.” Duan Ling Tian shook his head as he smiled wryly.
“What do you mean?” Everyone was stunned.
In the end, it was still Feng Wu Dao who first realized what was going on. He asked with a shocked expression, “C-Could it be that you’ve surpassed the Mortal Shedding Stage and made a breakthrough to a higher stage?”
When Feng Wu Dao’s words left his mouth, the others shifted their eyes to Duan Ling Tian in unison.
“Yes.” Duan Ling Tian nodded. “I’m at the Perfection Saint Rudiment Stage now.”
Then, Duan Ling Tian explained to Feng Wu Dao and the others about the cultivation stages in Dao Martial Saint Land… They found out the Saint Rudiment Stage was the cultivation stage above the Mortal Shedding Stage.
On top of that, they also learned about the specific stages of the Mortal Shedding Stage and the Saint Rudiment Stage.
The Perfection Saint Rudiment Stage was the fourth stage of the Saint Rudiment Stage.
Feng Wu Dao and the others were dumbfounded when they discovered how tremendously Duan Ling Tian’s cultivation base had risen in just three short years.
When they returned to their senses, their breathing quickened immediately.
“The cultivation environment in the Dao Martial Saint Land is actually this ridiculous?” Chen Shao Shuai exclaimed in surprise.
“That’s right! Although your innate talent is high, this sort of progress is just ridiculous, Duan Ling Tian… Although my innate talent is not comparable to yours, my cultivation base would be able to rise a lot even if I only have one-tenth of your innate talent,” Nangong Yi said.
Although Nangong Chen did not say a word, his thoughts were obvious from his burning gaze.
Feng Wu Dao and the others were eager to go to the Dao Martial Saint Land.
At this moment, Duan Ling Tian knew they had already made up their minds. They came to this decision because their thoughts were similar to Nangong Yi.
They felt the cultivation environment in the Dao Martial Saint Land would allow them to make ridiculous progress in as short as three years… However, they did not know the actual reason his cultivation base had progressed so fast was mainly due to the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda.
However, it was not convenient for him to tell them about the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda.
It was not that he was being selfish, but he was worried. It was similar to how he could not tell Bai Li Hong about it.
Feng Wu Dao and the others were willing to sacrifice their lives for him, there was no doubt they would not betray him… However, if one was under some soul-ransacking Spiritual Secret Tactic, one’s actions would no longer be under one’s control.
This was what Duan Ling Tian was most worried about.
When he saw the eagerness in their eyes when he spoke about the Dao Martial Saint Land, he did not discourage them.
Besides, although the Dao Martial Saint Land’s cultivation environment was not as ridiculous as they thought it was, it was still better than Cloud Continent by more than 50%… Particularly in the Moon Illumination Sect, the cultivation environment was far greater than the cultivation environment in other ordinary eighth or ninth-rate sects.
Feng Wu Dao who was looking forward to the Dao Martial Saint Land suddenly remembered his daughter who had long gone to the Dao Martial Saint Land. He immediately looked at Duan Ling Tian and asked eagerly, “Ling Tian boy, did you receive any news about Wu’er when you were in the Dao Martial Saint Land?”
“Uncle Feng, the Dao Martial Saint Land is so big that Cloud Continent can’t compare to it at all… However, I guess the group of people who brought Tian Wu away must not be from a powerful force. I’ve also asked my senior brother in the Dao Martial Saint Land to send his men out to look for Tian Wu… If there’s some news, my senior brother will tell me immediately,” Duan Ling Tian told Feng Wu Dao.
Naturally, Duan Ling Tian did not forget about Feng Tian Wu.
After Bai Li Hong had taken him as his junior brother, he had already asked Bai Li Hong to help look for Tian Wu.
Bai Li Hong had also used all of his connections to search for Tian Wu in every corner of the Dao Martial Saint Land.
However, Bai Li Hong was only a Three Star Saint Inscription Master, his connections were pretty limited. He could only look into seventh, eighth, and ninth-rate forces in the Dao Martial Saint Land.
If Feng Tian Wu happened to be in a more powerful force like a sixth-rate force or above, unless she made a name for herself, it was unlikely for them to find her with just Bai Li Hong’s connections.
Just looking into all the seventh-rate forces in the Dao Martial Saint Land would take him a long time, let alone those eighth and ninth-rate forces.
“Alright.” Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words, Feng Wu Dao nodded. Although he looked relieved, his heart still felt heavy.
In the past, he was not too worried even though he knew his daughter had gone to the Dao Martial Saint Land because he did not know much about it. Now that he understood the Dao Martial Saint Land more, he could not help but feel worried.
The harshness in the Dao Martial Saint Land was even worse than Cloud Continent.
Over there, the top powerhouses on Cloud Continent like Martial and Demon Emperors were ranked at the bottom where people would step on.
Since Feng Wu Dao and the others had made up their minds, Duan Ling Tian did not intend to stay any longer on Cloud Continent.
However, there was still something he needed to do before he left.
“Uncle Feng, Teacher… Please wait for me here for a while. I have some things I need to deal with, and I’ll be back soon.” After he spoke to Feng Wu Dao, Sima, and the others, he instantly disappeared from their eyes. With the fastest speed, he headed south.
Duan Ling Tian was a Perfection Saint Rudiment Stage Martial Cultivator now. When he moved using his fastest speed, it did not take him more than twenty breaths to arrive at the Crimson Sky Kingdom from the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom.
He only had one intention of returning to the Crimson Sky Kingdom. It was to inform his good friends in the Crimson Sky Kingdom about his next destination.
“If Little Fei’er and Little Gold have really gone to find Xue Nai, they’ll definitely return in the future… At that time, when they discover Half Moon Island has been ruined, with Little Fei’er’s intelligence, she’ll definitely come back to the Crimson Sky Kingdom to ask around.” It was precisely because of this that Duan Ling Tian returned to the Crimson Sky Kingdom’s Imperial City and secretly told his good friends about his next destination.
It did not take him too long to finish all this.
In a span that did not exceed twenty breaths, Duan Ling Tian had returned to where Feng Wu Dao and the others were waiting. After motioning to them, he proceeded to bring them north. Soon after, they all left Cloud Continent.
Naturally, Duan Ling Tian did not head in Half Moon Island’s direction. Instead, he took a huge detour.
Who knew if Di Jue was waiting for them at Half Moon Island or not!
He did not dare to take the risk.
It was also due to this reason that Duan Ling Tian left a backup plan in the Crimson Sky Kingdom. He did not have a chance to leave any clue behind on Half Moon Island.
When he was in the Crimson Sky Kingdom, he did not only told his good friends about his destination, but he even left behind a voice transmission jade slip that contained the words he had wanted to tell Li Fei. He told her about where he had been, the things that had happened after his return, including Ke’er’s abduction.
Due to Duan Ling Tian taking a huge detour to stay away from Half Moon Island, he was unaware the original Half Moon Island had already been completely submerged and no longer existed.
While Duan Ling Tian brought Feng Wu Dao and the others to the Dao Martial Saint Land, four travel-weary figures approached a mountain hidden by clouds somewhere in the Dao Martial Saint Land.
Just as they had gotten close to the mountain, before they even passed through the clouds, their way was obstructed.
The people who obstructed their path were three middle-aged men who were dressed in blue uniforms and two young men who were dressed normally.
Between the two young men, one of them was luxuriously dressed. Judging from his movement, it seemed as though he was a dandy rich man’s son… The other one, on the other hand, was dressed ordinarily, serving as a contrast to the former. Following closely behind the former, it was obvious he was an attendant who ran all the errands.
The luxuriously dressed young man, on the other hand, was also the leader of the group of five.
“Who are you to trespass into my Greenwave Han Mansion?” The luxuriously clad young man asked easily. From the moment they appeared until now, he did not even look at the other four properly in the eyes.
“Young Master! A beauty! A beauty!” Just as the luxuriously dressed young man’s words left his mouth, a fawning voice resonated by his ears, “What a pity! She’s pregnant!”
Beauty?
After hearing this fawning voice, the luxuriously dressed young man instantly lifted his head and began to study the four people.
One of them quickly caught his eyes.
It was a woman with a seductive body and an angelic face. Her extremely beautiful face could topple the nation and dim her surroundings.
The most important thing was her temperament. It was particularly attractive.
He had seen many beauties before, but this was his first time seeing such a beauty with such a temperament.
“So what if she’s pregnant?” After glancing at the woman’s slightly protruding stomach, the luxuriously dressed young man scoffed at the words of the bootlicker standing at the side. ‘I, Han Jin Nian, have been with countless women before, but I’ve never tried being with a pregnant woman… Particularly one that’s so beautiful and has such a temperament!”
“I wonder how should I address you, Miss?” Han Jin Nian’s expression changed quickly. It only took him a split second to change from being cold to enthusiastic.
The most important thing was even though Han Jin Nian harbored ill-intention in his heart, he did not show it on his face and eyes at all. The glimmer of lust in the depth of his eyes flashed quickly before it vanished without a trace.
At this moment, he looked just like a refined and courteous son of a noble family.
