Everyone knew that cultivating would only get more difficult the further one progressed.
If Duan Ling Tian was still restricted by his Innate Spiritual Root and his cultivation environment, he would not be able to break through to the Intermediate Divine Saint Stage from the Early Divine Saint Stage without at least taking eight to ten years. However, because he had raised the level of his Innate Spiritual Root and the amazing cultivation environment he had, it would only take him two years to break through to the Intermediate Divine Saint Stage from the Early Divine Saint Stage!
‘If I have a green Innate Spiritual Root now, my cultivation speed would be much faster. If I have an indigo Innate Spiritual Root, it’ll only take me a few months to break through to the Intermediate Divine Saint Stage from the Early Divine Saint Stage in this cultivation environment!’ Duan Ling Tian’s breathing quickened when he thought of this.
He could not wait to find a genius with an indigo Innate Spiritual Root so he could devour his Innate Spiritual Root!
‘Even in the Fire Worship Sect, I don’t think there are many geniuses who have indigo Innate Spiritual Roots. I wonder if there are any geniuses with violet Innate Spiritual Roots in the Fire Worship Sect? I’m certain if I devour a violet Innate Spiritual Root, my Innate Spiritual Root will turn dark indigo even if half of the energy is wasted!’ A dark indigo Innate Spiritual Root was just a step below the violet Innate Spiritual Roots. Duan Ling Tian became excited when he thought of this and found it hard to concentrate on cultivating.
At this moment, all he wanted to do was to look for people so he could devour their Innate Spiritual Roots to strengthen his Innate Spiritual Root.
Naturally, Duan Ling Tian only thought about it. He had no intention of casually devouring people’s Innate Spiritual Roots. He was not a cold-blooded animal so he would not devour other people’s Innate Spiritual Roots for no reason if they did not look for trouble with him.
“Since I can’t calm down, I might as well go and take a look at the altar. I can also familiarize myself with the palaces around the altar and try to comprehend the high-grade defensive Divine Ability, the Black Turtle’s Barrier!” Duan Ling Tian muttered to himself as he left the fourth level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda with just a thought. He left the Tertius house after he put the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda away.
When he walked out of the Tertius house, he discovered the people gathered outside had already left. Only a few Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples were standing there discussing something.
The people did not notice him at all since he had appeared quietly.
‘I wonder how long it’ll take my heart that has been tempered by the Sovereign Heart Sword to comprehend the number one defensive Divine Ability in the Fire Worship Sect, the Black Turtle’s Barrier? It won’t be longer than the time I took to comprehend the Divine Ability, the Elementary Devouring Tactic, right?’ As Duan Ling Tian made his way to the altar, his mind was completely focused on the high-grade defensive Divine Ability Black, the Turtle’s Barrier, in the Black Turtle Sanctum.
Although he had already become famous in the Black Turtle Sanctum and many disciples from the Black Turtle Sanctum had heard of him, they did not recognize him since he had just entered the Sanctum.
“Hey, did you hear about it? There’s a rebel in our Black Turtle Sanctum!”
“You mean Duan Ling Tian?”
“You’ve heard about it?”
“Apart from outsiders and disciples who haven’t come out of their closed-door cultivation, I think everyone in the Black Turtle Sanctum has heard of him, right?”
“I’ve been in the Black Turtle Sanctum for six years now, but this is my first time hearing about a disciple bold enough to oppose Elder Li An in public! Elder Li An is the First Silver Flame Elder in the Black Turtle Sanctum! Even the other four Silver Flame Elder don’t dare to offend him for no reason!”
“That’s right! Elder Li An is only inferior to one person as he ruled over 10,000 people in the Black Turtle Sanctum! Duan Ling Tian wouldn’t have a happy ending for opposing him!”
“Well, it’ll be okay if he has a blue or indigo Innate Spiritual Root… But, I heard he only has a yellow Innate Spiritual Root!”
“A yellow Innate Spiritual Root? Someone with a yellow Innate Spiritual Root dares to openly oppose Elder Li An? He’s seeking death!”
As Duan Ling Tian made his way to the altar, he heard many similar discussions. Not only that, but news of him torturing Gu Chun, Li An’s new disciple, had spread out as well.
Most of the Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples felt that Duan Ling Tian would at least be flayed, if not killed, for offending Li An!
Duan Ling Tian merely shook his head with a calm expression on his face when he heard the discussion. He was not bothered by it at all.
Yesterday, Yang Wu, the son of the fifth elder of Northern Plethora Sect, had looked for trouble with him, and the Black Turtle Sanctum’s Silver Flame Elder, Teng Shan, had acted fairly when he meted out punishment. The incident would have had a happy ending if it had ended there. However, Li An had appeared and wanted to kill him without thinking about what was right or wrong. He had said that it took two people to quarrel and accused Duan Ling Tian of being at fault as well.
If Elder Teng Shan did not intervene in time, and if he was not physically strong, he would have been killed by Li An’s strike! For this reason, he had regarded Li An as his enemy and did not care about Li An’s threat when he killed Yang Wu.
He had killed Yang Wu domineeringly under everyone’s watchful gaze. By doing that, he was clearly opposing Li An.
Since both he and Li An would not rest until one of them died, it was no loss for him even if he further offended Li An.
“The Black Turtle Altar!” Soon after, the altar on the vast field appeared before Duan Ling Tian’s eyes. The huge and life-like Black Turtle statue caught his attention immediately.
‘The high-grade defensive Divine Ability, the Black Turtle’s Barrier, is recorded in the Black Turtle statue?’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself as he flew to the Black Turtle statue.
At this moment, many people were comprehending the high-grade defensive Divine Ability, the Black Turtle’s Barrier, around the Black Turtle statue… Most of them were standing or sitting on air. Some of them closed their eyes as though they were deep in thoughts while some of them stared at the Black Turtle statue as though they were in a daze.
‘I’ll take a look at the Divine Ability, the Black Turtle’s Barrier, recorded in the Black Turtle statue…” Duan Ling Tian felt confident when he remembered that his heart had been tempered by the Sovereign Heart Sword. “I can memorize the high-grade defensive Divine Ability, the Black Turtle’s Barrier, first and slowly comprehend it when I return to the Tertius house and enter the fourth level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda. I’ll be able to save a lot of time by doing that. After all, the flow of time is really slow in the fourth level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda!’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself as he looked at the Black Turtle statue.
As he extended his Divine Consciousness into the Black Turtle statue, a wave of information began to slowly appear in his mind. It was information regarding the high-grade defensive Divine Ability, the Black Turtle’s Barrier.
Duan Ling Tian could clearly sense that at that instant when he extended his Divine Consciousness into the Black Turtle statue, a heavy aura suddenly swept out of the Black Turtle statue.
This aura pressured him as it shrouded him. He instinctively used his Sun Saint Energy to cover the surface of his body.
“It’s the same with the others!” Previously, Duan Ling Tian did not notice that most of the Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples around the Black Turtle Altar had a layer of defensive Saint Energy that covered their bodies.
“If I’m not mistaken, this aura must help one in comprehending the Black Turtle’s Barrier. No wonder so many of them stay here and didn’t return to their own residence to comprehend the Divine Ability, the Black Turtle’s Barrier… Even so, this aura doesn’t feel special to me…” After standing near the Black Turtle statue for some time, Duan Ling Tian discovered the aura from the Black Turtle statue did not help him at all. He made up his mind to leave as soon as he memorized the Black Turtle’s Barrier.
‘I’ll go back and slowly comprehend it. As long as I can successfully comprehend the Black Turtle’s Barrier, I can leave the Black Turtle Sanctum and enter the Fire Worship Sect’s Saint Land!’ Duan Ling Tian no longer had the mood to stay near the altar when he thought about this. He turned around and left.
His wife and daughter were still imprisoned in the Fire Worship Sect’s Saint Land and were knee-deep in trouble!
After Duan Ling Tian returned to the Tertius house, he entered the fourth level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda again and began to comprehend the Black Turtle’s Barrier.
One must admit that as the most precious treasure in the Black Turtle Sanctum and the number one defensive Divine Ability in the Fire Worship Sect, it was indeed difficult to comprehend.
At the very least, after Duan Ling Tian tried to comprehend it in the fourth level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda for six months, he had only managed to scratch the surface of the Divine Ability, the Black Turtle’s Barrier. He was still far from fully comprehending the Black Turtle’s Barrier.
“It’s actually much more difficult to comprehend than the Elementary Devouring Tactic?” Duan Ling Tian was shocked when he discovered this. He felt baffled as well. However, soon after, he discovered the cause.
‘When I was in the Divine Ability Relic that contained the Divine Ability Elementary Devouring Tactic, I saw someone using the Elementary Devouring Tactic and even experienced the effect of the Elementary Devouring Tactic. For this reason, apart from the help of the Sovereign Heart Sword, I manage to quickly comprehend the Elementary Devouring Tactic. Whether it’s the Divine Ability, the Elementary Devouring Tactic, or the Divine Ability, the Otherworldly Celestial, I saw how they were cast. That’s why I have some advantage when I comprehended the two high-grade Divine Abilities!’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself and sighed.
“Half a year… About 18 days have gone by outside.” Duan Ling Tian closed his eyes again to comprehend the Divine Ability, the Black Turtle’s Barrier.
Meanwhile, in another Tertius house, Gu Chun who had recovered also began to cultivate.
“Duan Ling Tian, after I break through to the Intermediate Exemplary Saint Stage, I’ll definitely make you regret what you did to me that day!” Gu Chun began to cultivate in earnest for the sake of revenge.
However, when he tried to resonate with and absorb the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy, horror dawned on his face. “W-What’s going on? W-Why can’t I sense the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy?”
