War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Chapter 2399 An Encounter With A Small Group of People

Duan Ling Tian might be a match for a Seven Tribulation Bodiless Celestial with his current strength if he used the Celestial Sword, providing the Seven Tribulation Bodiless Celestial did not cultivate the Soul Congregation Embodiment! In fact, even if his opponent was just a Three Tribulation Bodiless Celestial who had cultivated the Soul Congregation Embodiment, it would still be dangerous for him even if he could kill his opponent.

Previously, Duan Ling Tian had asked Chen Yi Ru, a Four Tribulation Bodiless Celestial, about the number of Bodiless Celestials who had cultivated the Soul Congregation Embodiment in the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land. Chen Yi Ru had said there were no Bodiless Celestials who had cultivated the Soul Congregation Embodiment in the Upper Province based on what he knew. At that time, Duan Ling Tian had realized how rare Bodiless Celestials who cultivated Soul Congregation Embodiment were.

Naturally, although they were rare, it did not mean there was none. Just because Chen Yi Ru said he did not think they were any did not mean there was none as well.

‘According to that person, there are over 100 Bodiless Celestials from his mundane realm who have entered the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone. Moreover, he said that the number of people that came to the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone from his mundane realm is not the highest. This means there are probably more Bodiless Celestials from the other mundane realms who came to the secret zone as well! Since there are so many Bodiless Celestials, it stands to reason that there must be a few of them who had cultivated the Soul Congregation Embodiment. It seems like I’ll have to be more cautious in here. Let alone an Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestial, any Bodiless Celestials who have cultivated the Soul Congregation Embodiment are a threat to me!’ Duan Ling Tian was laden with anxiety when he thought about this. Initially, he had assumed he and his companions were the only ones in the secret zone. It was completely out of his expectation that there were people from another four mundane realms who had entered the secret zone as well. More importantly, there was no lack of powerful people like Chen Yi Ru among these people. In fact, there were also many people who were much stronger than Chen Yi Ru!

Since the beginning, Duan Ling Tian had not seen his companions in the secret zone. When he had just entered, he had waited for them for a long time, but he did not see any of them. At that time, he realized that as soon as they entered the black hole, they would be transported to random locations in the secret zone. Ever since then, he had traveled by his lonesome in the secret zone. He thought to himself, ‘I wonder what Tian Wu, Xue Nai, San Dao, and the others are doing right now?’

Duan Ling Tian had been in the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone for half a year now. In the beginning, he did not encounter anyone nor did he find anything worthy of his attention. Later on, he managed to obtain the Celestial Sword. The Celestial Sword was the only valuable thing he had obtained so far. However, he was still very pleased with this result. After all, only half a year had passed. He had nine and a half years ahead of him to search for more precious items in the secret zone.

‘I wonder what kind of fortuitous encounter did Senior Feng Qing Yang have that granted him the ability to kill Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestials and strength comparable to a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial despite only being an Eminent Celestial? If I have that kind of fortuitous encounter as well, I’ll be invincible in the Dao Martial Saint Land,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself as his eyes lit up like an array of stars in the night sky.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

All of a sudden, the sound of wind howling rang from the distance, interrupting Duan Ling Tian’s thoughts. He looked up and saw four figures flying toward him from afar. As the four figures came closer, he could make out the figures belonged to three males and one female.

The woman was young. Although she was not as beautiful as Duan Ling Tian’s two wives and Tian Wu, her features were exquisite. Her complexion was fair and ruddy, and her skin seemed as soft as babies’ skin. He thought this woman would definitely be able to become an actress or an anchorwoman if she was on his home planet.

The other three were young men. One of them was tall and muscular. Although he looked like a brute, his eyes gleamed with an intelligent light. The second young man was average in height and his appearance was average as well. His eyes were dull as though he had no interest in everything that happened around him. The third young man had an athletic body. He was rather handsome as well. Naturally, he was not as handsome as Duan Ling Tian.

Duan Ling Tian found the young woman, burly youth, and the apathetic youth rather pleasing to the eye. However, his impression of the handsome young man was not very good. He thought to himself, ‘I can tell from this person’s gaze that he’s not a kind person.’

Duan Ling Tian had seen the handsome young man looking at the young woman lecherously. Based on the handsome young man’s gaze, it seemed as though he could not wait to pounce on the woman and ravish her. On the other hand, when he looked at the burly youth and the apathetic youth, hints of disdain and arrogance could be seen in his eyes.

Before those four people arrived in front of Duan Ling Tian, he heard the burly young man saying, “There’s someone up ahead. It seems like our small group is going to gain another member! The more the merrier, I say! It’ll make traveling in the secret zone much safer.”

The young woman snuck a glance at Duan Ling Tian. Her eyes brightened and she said excitedly, “If he joins us, there’ll be five people in our group. Five people should be enough, right?”

“Zhang Yi, Rong Bo… What do you think?” The burly youth asked the apathetic youth and the handsome youth.

“I agree.” The apathetic youth nodded. It seemed like he guarded his words as though they were gold.

“I don’t care as long as he doesn’t hold us back,” the handsome young man said. The entire time, his gaze was fixed on the young woman. He only looked at Duan Ling Tian indifferently before turning away. “I’m not going to save him if he holds us back or if he encounters danger.”

“Rong Bo!” The burly young man frowned when he heard the handsome young man’s words. “If he joins us, he’ll be our companion. If he’s in danger, we’ll have to try and save him. Your remarks are unnecessary!”

“Unnecessary?” Rong Bo, the handsome young man, chuckled as he said disdainfully, “Wang Shi. Let alone him, I wouldn’t even save you and Zhang Yi if both of you are in danger when we enter that place. At most, I’ll only help Liu Xia…” His eyes darted to the young woman next to him as soon as he finished speaking.

The young woman, Liu Xia, frowned. However, she did not speak up as though something was holding her back.

Wang Shi frowned as well when he heard Rong Bo’s words. Even the apathetic Zhang Yi furrowed his brows for a moment. However, similar to Liu Xia, both of them did not speak up as though they were held back by something.

Finally, Wang Shi took a deep breath to calm himself. Then, he looked at the purple figure up ahead before he said, “Let’s go! Let’s go over there!”

Zhang Yi and Liu Xia flew ahead, following Wang Shi.

However, Rong Bo who was the back of the group suddenly piped up, “I changed my mind. I don’t think he should join us unless his cultivation base is at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage!”

“You’re aware that I haven’t broken through to the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, right?” Liu Xia asked with a frown.

“It’s different. You’re a woman, he’s not,” Rong Bo said as he looked at the purple figure coldly.

Not only did Duan Ling Tian hear the conversation between the four people, but he had also caught the cold and vicious glint in Rong Bo’s eyes when he looked at him. ‘I don’t think I’ve ever offended this Rong Bo, right?’ He was quite curious. He had never met Rong Bo prior to this, why was Rong Bo so hostile toward him?

It did not take long before the four people arrived before Duan Ling Tian. Liu Xia, the young woman, took the initiative to speak first. She said with a smile, “Hello, my name is Liu Xia.”

Liu Xia had a good impression of Duan Ling Tian. However, it was obvious that her good impression stemmed from Duan Ling Tian’s good looks. He was tall and strong with an extraordinary air about him. The three young men at the side paled in comparison to him.

On the other hand, Duan Ling Tian discovered a hint of jealousy that flashed in Rong Bo’s eyes when Liu Xia took the initiative to greet him. He could roughly guess the source of Rong Bo’s animosity toward him even though this was their first meeting.

“I’m Duan Ling Tian.” There was no need to guess, Duan Ling Tian knew these four people must have come from the other four mundane realms. For this reason, there was no need to hide his identity. However, it had to be said that even if these four people came from the same mundane realm as him, there was still no need to conceal his identity.

Liu Xia did not beat around the bush and said, “Duan Ling Tian, Wang Shi and I found a place with precious items about a month ago. However, we’re not strong enough to explore that place. For this reason, we decided to look for a few companions to enter that place. We met Zhang Yi first before we met Rong Bo. Rong Bo is the strongest among us. He’s an Eminent Celestial.”

Rong Bo looked at Duan Ling Tian arrogantly and disdainfully when Liu Xia spoke about him. He said condescendingly, “Brat, know your place. If your cultivation base is not at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, you should scram now!”
