Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Duan Ling Tian was not concerned with solving the internal conflicts in Situ Clan. What he was concerned about were the materials he had asked Situ Hao, the Clan Leader of Situ Clan, to prepare.

The truth was, Duan Ling Tian did not need the materials to get rid of the Devil Inscription on Situ Hang, the Great Young Master of Situ Clan. All he needed to do was activate his Spiritual Energy and spend a few a days to completely break it.

The reason he made it complicated was so Situ Clan would gather more common materials for him to repair the fourth level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda. Apart from that, many materials that Duan Ling Tian asked Situ Hao to gather were also materials to inscribe Three Star Saint Inscriptions.

Currently, Duan Ling Tian’s cultivation base was already at the Paramount Saint Rudiment Stage, and his Spiritual Energy had transformed along with it. He could now inscribe Three Star Saint Inscriptions. Although that was the case, he did not have many materials in his hands. Due to this reason, he had no choice but to use the Situ Clan to labor for him.

“Master Duan, the materials you requested are here.” One had to say, the Clan Leader of Situ Clan was indeed efficient. Only two weeks had passed, and he had already finished gathering the materials Duan Ling Tian had requested. He placed all of it in a Spatial Ring and passed it to Duan Ling Tian.

Naturally, Situ Hao had found the materials so easily because Duan Ling Tian did not ask for those rare treasures needed to repair the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda. Those materials were hard to find. Although the Situ Clan was a sixth-rate clan, it might not be easy for them to obtain it. Due to this reason, Duan Ling Tian did not request for things that were beyond his power.

“In a month, I’ll return you a healthy son,” Duan Ling Tian said with a smile after taking the Spatial Ring.

“I believe in you, Master Duan.” Situ Hao also smiled as he nodded. He did not know he had been cheated of a lot of materials. Naturally, he would not have said anything even if he knew. After all, Duan Ling Tian was the only one who could treat his son now. As the saying went, ‘A rare commodity is worth hoarding to corner the market’.

In the next one month, Duan Ling Tian would treat Situ Hang every seven to eight days. As for the remaining time, he would use them to inscribe Three Star Saint Inscriptions… After one month, he was already skilled in inscribing Three Star Saint Inscriptions.

Meanwhile, he had also completely rid Situ Hang of the Devil Inscription.

“Master Duan, I, Situ Hang, will always remember your help for curing me.” After the Devil Inscription had been broken, Situ Hang had, naturally, recovered. He bowed to Duan Ling Tian to express his gratitude.

“Young Master Situ, you’re welcome.” Duan Ling Tian smiled.

At the same time, Duan Ling Tian also obtained two Four Star Dao Talismans — the Four Star Divine Strider Talisman and the Four Star Golden Energy Talisman. If he used them, he would have the speed and defense equivalent to a Saint Stage powerhouse for fifteen minutes.

When Situ Hang found out this was Duan Ling Tian’s first time in Windfall Nation and he was unfamiliar with the people and the place, he instantly invited Duan Ling Tian to stay at the Situ Clan.

Situ Hao also agreed to this suggestion. A few days later, when he learned from Situ Hang that Duan Ling Tian was a Three Star Saint Inscription Master, he was even more delighted. Once again, he went to pay Duan Ling Tian a visit to apologize. “Master Duan, I really didn’t know you’re actually a Three Star Saint Inscription Master before this. I’m sorry for my negligence!”

What a joke!

Prior to this, the Situ Clan only had one Three Star Saint Inscription Master in the clan. However, that Saint Inscription Master was on Situ Ming’s side.

Due to the reason that the Three Star Saint Inscriptions business in Situ Clan had been monopolized by Situ Ming, Situ Hao had no choice but to turn a blind eye to many things in regard to Situ Ming. After all, the Situ Clan still needed to rely on the Three Star Saint Inscription Master who was on Situ Ming’s side.

Due to this reason, he instantly came to apologize when he found out Duan Ling Tian was also a Three Star Saint Inscription Master.

At the same time, he also told Duan Ling Tian he could stay as long as he liked in the Situ Clan, and the clan would give him the best treatment they could give.

Duan Ling Tian had deliberately revealed his identity as a Three Star Saint Inscription Master. This was because it was of utmost importance for him to stabilize his position in the capital of Windfall Nation. This identity of a Three Star Saint Inscription Master would also allow him to stabilize his position better in the Situ Clan and the capital of Windfall Nation. Moreover, the identity of a Three Star Saint Inscription could also display his worth.

Just as Duan Ling Tian had expected, a few days later, Situ Hang came to find him and asked for his help to inscribe Three Star Saint Inscriptions on a bunch of Saint Weapons. “Master Duan, these Saint Weapons will be sold under our Situ Clan’s business… Our Situ Clan will provide all the materials needed to inscribe the Saint Inscriptions, and we’ll split the profit 50-50, what do you think?”

“No problem.” Although Duan Ling Tian knew Situ Clan would agree to it even if he had asked for a bigger share, he did not do that at all. He was not lacking in Saint Stones after all.

Moreover, now that he had done the Clan Leader of Situ Clan a favor, he had no need to worry the Clan Leader would not make an effort to deal with his matters in the future. He was not concerned about the Saint Stones but the potential profit.

“Master Duan, you…” When Situ Hang heard Duan Ling Tian agreeing to it immediately, he was stunned. He was expecting Duan Ling Tian to bargain with him. The lowest his father had allowed him to split the profit was 70-30. 70% for Duan Ling Tian, and 30% for the Situ Clan. It did not cross his mind that Duan Ling Tian did not even bargain with him and had agreed to it immediately.

At this moment, Situ Hang began to feel guilty.

“Master Duan, perhaps we should give you a bigger share of the profit?” Situ Hang asked with a wry smile.

“There’s no need. I’m not lacking in Saint Stones,” Duan Ling Tian said bluntly as he shook his head, “However, if it’s possible, I hope the Situ Clan can help find the whereabouts of my senior brother. I want to know if my senior brother has also come to Windfall Nation.”

“This is only a small matter. Master Duan, you only need to draw the portrait of your senior brother, and I’ll ask my father to let his man search for him in every corner of Windfall Nation,” Situ Hang said nonchalantly.

“I’ll have to trouble you with this then. My senior brother is also a Three Star Saint Inscription Master,” Duan Ling Tian said as he nodded. When he reached the end of his sentence, he also emphasized that Bai Li Hong was a Three Star Saint Inscription Master. “Moreover, my senior brother is different from me. I’m used to wandering, sooner or later, I’ll leave the Situ Clan. However, my senior brother might be willing to stay in Situ Clan long term.”

When Situ Hang heard his words, his eyes lit up right away.

After spending some time together, he had also begun to understand Duan Ling Tian more. He learned that Duan Ling Tian was younger than him. At that time, he knew with Duan Ling Tian’s current achievements at his age, his achievements in the future would be boundless. Due to this reason, he did not think he would stay long in Situ Clan.

Situ Hang and his father had been plagued by this matter. However, Duan Ling Tian’s words to him right now were like the sun that dispelled all the dark clouds in their hearts.

“Master Duan, please be rest assured. If your senior brother has come to Windfall Nation, our Situ Clan will definitely find him,” Situ Hang pledged solemnly.

“Also, there’s another matter…” Duan Ling Tian called out to Situ Hang when he saw he was about to leave.

“Is there anything else I can help you with, Master Duan?” Situ Hang asked respectfully.

“Is there any powerhouse who’s ranked in the Heaven Ranking in Windfall Nation?” Duan Ling Tian asked.

“Yes.” Situ Hang nodded. “There’s a total of six people who have made it into the Heaven Ranking in Windfall Nation. The person who’s listed on top is ranked 11th in the Heaven Ranking.”

“Is there any way for us to find that person?” Duan Ling Tian asked again.

“Maybe not for the time being. I heard he’s trying to break through so he might have gone into closed-door cultivation… As a sectless cultivator, his whereabouts are not fixed, and I have no idea where he might have gone for his closed-door cultivation.” Situ Hang shook his head.

“How about the strongest person among the remaining five? Can we find any of them now?” Duan Ling Tian asked again.

“The strongest person among the remaining five is ranked 23rd in the Heaven Ranking. It’s not difficult to find her since she’s the disciple of another seventh-rate force in Windfall Nation… Master Duan, are you planning to challenge her?” Situ Hang asked curiously.

Situ Hang had already learned from Situ Hou that Duan Ling Tian’s strength was outstanding. Now that he heard Duan Ling Tian wanted to look for powerhouses in the Heaven Ranking, he could instantly guess his intention.

If he succeeded in challenging the Heaven Ranking’s powerhouse, he would replace her while the Heaven Ranking’s powerhouse would be eliminated from the Heaven Ranking.

This Heaven Ranking’s rule was made because they were afraid some of them would intentionally lose to their opponent. This was why they would be eliminated if they lost.

“That’s right.” Duan Ling Tian nodded. He really intended to challenge a Heaven Ranking’s powerhouse. Only if he was ranked in the Heaven Ranking would he be able to make a name for himself in Windfall Nation. Moreover, he would also gain fame in the Southern Ridge Yuan Mansion’s district as well.

Duan Ling Tian was not a person who liked to show off. However, he was doing this to find Bai Li Hong and the others as quickly as he could. He believed Bai Li Hong would look for him as soon as he found out Duan Ling Tian was with the Situ Clan.

“Master Duan, although I don’t doubt your strength, it’s a little risky for you to immediately challenge someone who’s ranked 23rd in the Heaven Ranking. I suspect that person’s current strength is already enough for her to make it into the top ten of the Heaven Ranking!” Situ Hang said with a hint of dread.

“What do you mean?” Duan Ling Tian asked. He was curious why Situ Hang had such a high opinion of the person who ranked 23rd in the Heaven Ranking.

“Well, she can be considered as a legendary figure in our Windfall Nation… She’s not too old, even younger than you actually, Master Duan. Not only that, but as far as I know, she also came from the distant Mortal Continent. That girl from Mortal Continent actually has an innate talent that far surpasses her peers! That time, it only took her six months to climb from the 95th place to the 23rd place in the Heaven Ranking!” When Situ Hang reached the end of his sentence, he turned solemn. “Currently, it’s been exactly sixth months since she climbed up to the 23rd place in the Heaven Ranking.”
