Chapter 2289 Duan Ling Tian Ended His Closed-Door Cultivation!

Time passed by quietly and many months passed by in just a blink of an eye.

The atmosphere was tranquil in the Wandering Saint Palace’s estate.

However, the people that came with Shi Nan Feng, the Palace Master of Great Spirit Palace, who had been standing guard outside Duan Ling Tian’s mansion knew that it was only the calm before the storm.

Duan Ling Tian was not the only one who had become a captive in his mansion. Ke’er, Duan Si Ling, Gan Ru Yan, and Peng Lai had also become captives in Duan Ling Tian’s mansion. They were well aware of the situation outside and knew their chances of survival were slim.

Initially, they felt anxious. However, as time passed, they came to terms with their fates. They knew there was nothing they could do.

“When Palace Master Yuwen Hao Chen comes out of his closed-door cultivation, it’ll be the end of us… Ke’er, do you have any regrets?” Gan Ru Yan asked Ke’er after she sighed.

“Regrets? What do you mean, sister?” Ke’er asked in confusion.

“I’m asking if you regret meeting him? If you didn’t meet him, you won’t be so unlucky. You definitely won’t have to face the danger today if you don’t know him!” Gan Ru Yan replied.

As soon as Gan Ru Yan finished speaking, Ke’er shook her head and said vehemently, “Of course not!” She paused for a moment before she said with a bright smile on her face, “Meeting Brother Tian is one of the best things to have happened to me. To me, getting to meet Brother Tian is like a gift from God… I feel content being able to be with him for such a long time. Even if I die now, I have no regrets.” It could be seen from her bright smile that she meant what she said from the bottom of her heart.

Although Gan Ru Yan had anticipated this kind of answer from Ke’er, she still felt touched when she heard her sister speaking about her feelings for Duan Ling Tian. She wondered if Duan Ling Tian was really that good of a man. Unknowingly, her train of thoughts wandered elsewhere as she became misty-eyed…

Suddenly, Duan Si Ling’s voice rang out in the air as though she had made a huge discovery. “Mother! Aunt! The bird moved! It moved!”

“That…” Peng Lai had come over as well, alerted by Duan Si Ling’s cry. He instantly looked at the bird formed from golden flames.

Ke’er and Gan Ru Yan were looking at the bird as well.

In the distance, where Duan Ling Tian was in closed-door cultivation, the Three-legged Golden Crow the size of a small hill had unfurled its huge wings. Initially, it had stood guard motionlessly. Currently, it was flapping its wings. It flapped its wing faster and faster with each passing second. Brilliantly bright red flames had appeared in its eyes.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The wind began to howl as the Three-legged Golden Crow flapped its wings, sand and dust rose in the air, creating a sandstorm.

It did not take long before the Three-legged Golden Crow began to rise into the air.

When Duan Si Ling saw this, she cried out, “FI…flying! It is flying!”

Although it had only flown ten meters high, it had surprised everyone. After all, this bird had remained lifeless and without sentience earlier.

“Is daddy okay?”

When the Three-legged Golden Crow flew up, Duan Si ling thought she would be able to see her father. However, even after the Three-legged Golden Crow had flown up, her father did not emerge from the ruin.

The room Duan Ling Tian was in remained the same after it had exploded. Apart from the shattered wall and bricks lying on the ground, the wooden bed still remained standing. However, the figure of a person dressed in a purple robe could not be seen at all.

Unlike Ke’er, Duan Si Ling, and Gan Ru Yan, Peng Lai could clearly sense Duan Ling Tian’s aura. He said, “Master is in the bird’s body! It seems like his aura is stronger than before. In fact, it seems like he has made a breakthrough!” After a while, he paused as he fell deep into his thoughts. ‘However, isn’t master’s cultivation base already at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage?’ He was confused, unable to figure out what was happening.

It was obvious Peng Lai was unaware that Duan Ling Tian’s cultivation base was only at the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. He had assumed that Duan Ling Tian was at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. It was only natural since the strength that Duan Ling Tian had displayed rivaled a powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. If Duan Ling Tian was not at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, how could he have killed Lin Yuan, an elder of Wandering Saint Palace who was at the Eight Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, with just two strikes?

At this moment, when Duan Ling Tian who was in the body of the bird that was formed from golden flames caused a commotion in the mansion, the throng of people outside the mansion began to notice the movements in the mansion as well.

“That…”

“What’s that?’

Naturally, Shi Nan Feng, the Palace Master of Great Spirit Palace, was the first one to notice the Three-legged Golden Crow that had flown up into the sky since his attention was solely focused on the mansion. A frown and a hint of confusion could be seen on his face. He was not sure what was happening. However, one thing was for sure; he could not wait to kill the Young Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion who was hiding inside the mansion.

After a while, Shi Nan Feng was baffled. “His aura… seems to be much stronger than before! His aura is similar to that of a powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage!” Based on what he knew, the Young Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion was already at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. He thought to himself, ‘Could he have held back when he was cultivating earlier?’

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Peng Lai and Shi Nan Feng were still confused when the deafening sound of thunder rumbled on the other side of the Wandering Saint Palace’s estate, startling everyone in the estate.

“This is… the Celestial Ascension Tribulation!?”

In the residence of the Palace Master of Wandering Saint Palace, Yun Fu Ye, a Vice Palace Master of Wandering Saint Palace, flew out of his room immediately. When he saw the Tribulation Clouds that were brewing in the sky, his eyes twinkled and he had an excited expression on his face. He knew his master was about to undergo the Heavenly Tribulation. Once his master had successfully passed the Heavenly Tribulation, his master would be able to make a breakthrough and become an Eminent Celestial. He had no doubts that his master would successfully pass the Heavenly Tribulation. In the history of Wandering Saint Palace, there were no Palace Masters who had failed the Heavenly Tribulation after all.

I didn’t expect master to attract the Celestial Ascension Tribulation a month earlier than expected… This means, in just a few days, master will become an Eminent Celestial!'” Yun Fu Ye thought to himself excitedly.

Tribulation Clouds were clouds that heralded the Heavenly Tribulation. Apart from purple lightning bolts, bolts of multi-colored lighting could be seen flashing in the clouds like dragons as well. The lights from the bolts of multicolored lightning were blindingly bright!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The sound of thunder continued to reverberate in the air. Initially, the Tribulation Clouds only converged over a small area. However, as time passed, the area it encompassed grew wider and wider.

“That’s the direction of the Palace Master’s residence, isn’t it?

In the Wandering Saint Palace’s estate, groups of elders and disciples lifted their heads to look at the sky. They could tell the clouds were converging above the Palace Master’s residence.

These dark clouds with purple and multi-colored lightning bolts are the sign of a Celestial Ascension Tribulation, right?” An elder from Wandering Saint Palace exclaimed with widened eyes as though he had made a huge discovery.

“Tribulation Clouds from the Celestial Ascension Tribulation?”

When the other elders and disciples from Wandering Saint Palace heard this, their eyes lit up immediately.

“Lord Palace Master is undergoing the Heavenly Tribulation?”

“It seems like it won’t be long before our Wandering Saint Palace will gain an Eminent Celestial!”

“From today onward, there’ll be a second Eminent Celestial in the Human-Devil clan… Moreover, the new Eminent Celestial is none other than our Lord Palace Master!”

There was uproar in the Wandering Saint Palace’s estate. Everyone was delighted when they found out about this.

Meanwhile, outside of Duan LingTian’s mansion…

The people from the remaining Two Palaces and Six Halls, including Shi Nan Feng, the Palace Master of Great Spirit Palace, were also looking in the direction of the residence of Yuwen Hao Chen.

While they were looking at the Tribulation Clouds that were converging above Yuwen Hao Chen’s residence, they failed to notice that the bird formed from golden flames that was hovering in the sky was changing as well. The flames seemed to disappear before it revealed a purple-clad young man who had been concealed in the body of the Three- legged Golden Crow.

“Daddy!” Duan Si Ling cried out.

The purple-clad young man who was hovering in the air opened his eyes immediately when he heard Duan Si Ling’s voice.

It seemed like Duan Ling Tian had officially ended his closed-door cultivation!
