The other six people were also wearing the same white robes embroidered with silver flames like Teng Shan and Li An. The only difference they had from Teng Shan and Li An’s white robes was the pattern that was embroidered on it.

A Black Turtle was embroidered on Teng Shan and Li An’s white robes. On the other hand, among the six people, two of them had a Divine Dragon on their white robes, another two had an enormous tiger, and the remaining two had a humongous firebird.

“It’s the elders from the Azure Dragon Sanctum, White Tiger Sanctum, and the Vermilion Bird Sanctum!” Someone exclaimed when Duan Ling Tian noticed the differences of the pattern on the white robes that the six people wore. He had also guessed they were the elders from the other three Sanctums of the Four Symbols Sanctums.

“I’ve heard that among the Fire Worship Sect’s Four Symbols Sanctums, only the Divine Ability from the White Tiger Sanctum is an offensive Divine Ability. I hope I’ll be selected by the two elders from the White Tiger Sanctum!” A young man standing nearby said hopefully as he looked at the two elders from the White Tiger Sanctum.

“On the other hand, I hope the two elders from the Vermilion Bird Sanctum will pick me. The Divine Ability that the Vermilion Bird Sanctum let its disciples comprehend is a movement Divine Ability! As the saying goes, ‘Speed is the only impenetrable martial technique in the world!’ The same applies to Divine Abilities! Only speed is invincible!” Somebody said with a hopeful expression on his face. Unlike the young man who wanted to go to the White Tiger Sanctum, he wanted to go to the Vermilion Bird Sanctum instead.

“Actually, it’s not that bad to go to the Azure Dragon Sanctum. The Divine Ability that the Azure Dragon Sanctum let its disciples comprehend is an assist type Divine Ability. It’s said that it’s created based on the dragon clan’s inherited Divine Ability, the True Form Beserkfication. As the saying goes, ‘Indigo came from the color blue, but it’s bluer than the latter!’” Somebody chimed in.

“Tsk tsk… Compared to the Divine Abilities from the Azure Dragon Sanctum, White Tiger Sanctum, and the Vermilion Bird Sanctum, I still prefer the defensive Divine Ability in the Black Turtle Sanctum! It’s said that although all the Divine Abilities from the Four Symbols Sanctums are high-grade Divine Abilities, the Black Turtle’s Barrier from the Black Turtle Sanctum is of a slightly higher grade compared to the others!” A middle-aged man said with a chuckle.

Black Turtle’s Barrier!

High-grade defensive Divine Ability?

The moment these words left the middle-aged man’s mouth, Duan Ling Tian’s eyes narrowed immediately.

He had also heard about how every Sanctum would let their disciples comprehend a Divine Ability, but he was not particularly interested in it. This was because he had thought the Divine Abilities from the four Sanctums were merely medium-grade Divine Abilities. He had only realized he had guessed wrongly when he heard the middle-aged man’s words. More importantly, the high-grade Divine Ability from the Black Turtle Sanctum was actually the defensive Divine Ability, the Black Turtle’s Barrier!

‘It seems like I have fate with the Black Turtle Sanctum.’ Duan Ling Tian sighed inwardly as he shifted his gaze to Teng Shan and Li An.

Currently, he had mastered the offensive Divine Ability, the Otherworldly Celestial, the assist type Divine Ability, the Elementary Devouring Tactic, and the movement Divine Ability, the Golden Crow’s Wings. He had not mastered any high-grade defensive Divine Ability!

However, he did comprehend a medium-grade defensive Divine Ability. It was none other than the Six Harmonies Golden Body that he had obtained from the Mystical Sky Mansion’s Saint Martial Secret Zone.

However, for the reason that all the Divine Abilities he had comprehended were high-grade Divine Abilities, Duan Ling Tian instinctively looked down on the Six Harmonies Golden Body and did not bother to cultivate it. It was also because he did not want to waste his time and Spiritual Energy on a medium-grade Divine Ability.

He was desperate to get stronger so he could save Ke’er and their daughter. He had no time to waste at all.

If the disciples from the Mystical Sky Mansion who had entered the Saint Martial Secret Zone with Duan Ling Tian previously heard his thoughts, they would be angered to the point of throwing up blood!

He did not want to waste his time and Spiritual Energy on a medium-grade Divine Ability?

This statement alone made it sound like he was blatantly showing off!

“I’ve finally encountered a high-grade defensive Divine Ability. For the sake of the Divine Ability, the Black Turtle’s Barrier, I must stay in the Black Turtle Sanctum!” Duan Ling Tian muttered to himself as his eyes were filled with determination.

Prior to learning the Divine Abilities from the Four Symbols Sanctum were high-grade Divine Abilities, Duan Ling Tian was not bothered with which Sanctum he would be sent to. He felt they were all the same. However, now that he learned that the Four Symbols Sanctums would provide a high-grade Divine Ability for their disciples to cultivate, he was intent on remaining in the Black Turtle Sanctum since the high-grade defensive Divine Ability, the Black Turtle’s Barrier, that he desperately wanted was in the Black Turtle Sanctum.

Naturally, now that he had encountered a high-grade defensive Divine Ability, he would not let the opportunity slip through his hands.

Duan Ling Tian had asked Elder Huo for a defensive Divine Ability before. However, Elder Huo had told him that apart from the Golden Crow’s Wings that he had passed to him, the other Divine Abilities he was familiar with could only be used when one had the strength of a Celestial Being. For this reason, Duan Ling Tian knew he had to rely on himself if he wanted to cultivate a high-grade defensive Divine Ability!

At the same time, Silver Flame Elder Teng Shan from the Black Turtle Sanctum finally opened his mouth. “Everyone!”

Teng Shan’s voice sounded coarse. Along with the vast energy in his voice, it resonated in the ears of everyone present on the scene.

“Your presence here is enough to show your intention. All of you must want to become a disciple of our Fire Worship Sect!” Teng Shan voice had a hint of exaltation as he spoke. “Now, tell me, am I right?!” Teng Shan’s voice suddenly turned as loud as a clap of thunder.

“Yes!”

“Yes!”

As soon as Teng Shan finished speaking, almost everyone around Duan Ling Tian answered in excitement. All of them wanted to become a disciple of the Fire Worship Sect. At this moment, the atmosphere was charged!

“I find it hard to believe that someone like Elder Teng Shan who appears crude is actually so eloquent with his words. With just a few sentences, he managed to bring up the atmosphere!” Duan Ling Tian was shocked when he saw how excited everyone had become.

“I’m sure all of you have noticed the other people with me. Apart from Elder Li An who’s also a Black Turtle Sanctum’s elder like me, these six people standing with me are from the Azure Dragon Sanctum, the White Tiger Sanctum, and the Vermilion Bird Sanctum,” Teng Shan continued to speak, “They had come here today to select some of you to enter their Sanctums. No matter which Sanctum you end up in, you’ll successfully become the disciple of that Sanctum if you manage to pass the assessment of that Sanctum! Once you’ve become a disciple of the Four Symbols Sanctum, it would also mean that you’ve officially joined the Fire Worship Sect and become a Fire Worship Sect’s disciple!” Most people’s eyes lit up immediately when Teng Shan reached this part of his speech.

“What you need to do next is to stay still. Whoever is selected, please stand behind the elder who has selected you. You’ll then follow the elder back to the Sanctum,” Teng Shan said.

“Elder Teng Shan!” At this moment, Duan Ling Tian transmitted his voice to Teng Shan. “I wish to stay in the Black Turtle Sanctum. Please help me fulfill my wish, Elder Teng Shan.”

Teng Shan was momentarily stunned when he heard Duan Ling Tian’s Voice Transmission.

If Li An was not in the Black Turtle Sanctum, he would definitely do everything within his power to make Duan Ling Tian stay in the Black Turtle Sanctum. He was impressed by the strength and innate talent Duan Ling Tian had demonstrated earlier. However, he had dismissed that idea since Li An was also in the Black Turtle Sanctum. If Duan Ling Tian remained in the Black Turtle Sanctum, he would not be able to live in peace since Li An would make sure he would not be able to live well.

It did not cross Teng Shan’s mind that not only did Duan Ling Tian wish to remain in the Black Turtle Sanctum that Li An was from, but he would take the initiative to transmit his voice to him and ask for his help to stay in the Black Turtle Sanctum.

“Duan Ling Tian, the Black Turtle Sanctum may not be the best place for you. With Elder Li An here, there’s no benefit for you in staying in the Black Turtle Sanctum! He’s a vengeful person, and he won’t let this matter go,” Teng Shan warned him through Voice Transmission.

Duan Ling Tian felt a sense of warmth in his heart when he heard Teng Shan’s words. He did not know Teng Shan, there was no need for him to say these words to him.

“Elder Teng Shan, I want to remain in the Black Turtle Sanctum because I want to comprehend the high-grade Divine Ability, the Black Turtle’s Barrier. As for Li An, I’m not afraid of him. Moreover, as long as I stay in the Black Turtle Sanctum and in the Fire Worship Sect, he shouldn’t be so brave as to make a move against me!” Duan Ling Tian stated his purpose bluntly. Not only that, but he also said he was not afraid of Li An.

“If you stay in the Black Turtle Sanctum, even if he doesn’t personally make a move against you, he still has other ways to make things difficult for you. Moreover, although our Black Turtle Sanctum’s high-grade Divine Ability, the Black Turtle’s Barrier, is impressive, it’s not something everyone would be able to comprehend,” Teng Shan continued saying, “It’s unwise to risk your life for a Divine Ability you’re not certain you’ll be able to successfully comprehend!”

It was apparent Teng Shan had said this to dissuade Duan Ling Tian.

“Elder Teng Shan, you don’t have to dissuade me. I’ve already made up my mind! Besides, I really wish you’ll do me this favor. If I can stay in the Black Turtle Sanctum, I’ll owe you a favor!” Duan Ling Tian said determinedly. He was a little anxious when he finished speaking.

“Since you’re already made up your mind, I won’t dissuade you anymore. Don’t worry, I’ll do everything I can to help you stay in the Black Turtle Sanctum!” Teng Shan instantly agreed to Duan Ling Tian’s request.

“Thank you, Elder Teng Shan,” Duan Ling Tian was delighted when he heard Teng Shan had agreed to his request. He quickly expressed his gratitude.

“Everyone, the rules are the same as before… Starting from now, we’ll pick our candidates after the span of ten breaths,” Teng Shan said to the other Four Symbols Sanctums’ elders.

They nodded.

“There are eight more breaths left!” Many people around Duan Ling Tian held their breaths immediately.

The span of ten breaths passed in just a blink of an eye.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

…

Under the crowd’s anticipatory gazes, eight streaks of light that did not contain offensive force shot out one after another, locking on their targets.

Six streaks of light landed on different people, but two streaks of light landed on the same person!

Among these two streaks of light, one of them was from Teng Shan whom Duan Ling Tian had requested a favor from. The other light came from none other than Li An!
