Chapter 2340 Responsibility

The Seven Absolutes Sect had seven Absolutes. Duan Ling Tian was the successor of the Fog Rain Progeny, the First Absolute. There were another six Absolutes. Apart from the mysterious successor of the Prophet Progeny, he knew the other successors of the Seven Absolutes.

‘What… what a coincidence! I wonder if it’s really a coincidence. It feels as though my family is the one who founded the Seven Absolutes Sect. All the members are my acquaintances. It feels as though the members were chosen for a specific reason.’ Duan Ling Tian was bewildered when he thought about this. How could there be such a coincidence? He found it difficult to believe that it was just a coincidence.

Duan Ling Tian was lost in his own thoughts when he heard Duan Si Ling’s voice. “Daddy, what are you thinking about? Why aren’t you paying attention to me?”

“It’s nothing… I’m just thinking about my friends.” Duan Ling Tian smiled as he patted Duan Si Ling’s head. A hint of shock could still be seen in his eyes.

Currently, Duan Ling Tian and the three ladies were in a bustling city in the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land. They were in a room in a busy restaurant that was located near the main hall. What he had just learned came from a group of diners who were in the main hall.

“The Seven Absolutes Sect has reappeared?” Gan Ru Yan was also shocked when she heard the group of diners talking about the Seven Absolutes Sect. As the direct disciple of a Guardian of the Fire Worship Sect, she, naturally, knew more about the Seven Absolutes Sect compared to commoners. She was aware that the sect was a formidable sect in the Dao Martial Saint Land. When Feng Qing Yang, the best Sword Cultivator in the Dao Martial Saint Land, was around, the Seven Absolutes Sect was even stronger than the three great sects. Fortunately, Feng Qing Yang had no intention of destroying the three great sects. Otherwise, even if the three great sects joined forces, they might not be a match for Feng Qing Yang at all. After all, he was the best Sword Cultivator in the history of Dao Martial Saint Land.

‘The Seven Absolutes Sect has reappeared again. The members of the sect are all talented and brilliant, especially the female members who’re like pearls, attracting the attention of everyone in the Upper Province.’ A hint of embarrassment could be seen on Gan Ru Yan’s face. As one of the strongest female disciples among the younger generation in the Fire Worship Sect, she had always been very proud of herself. However, when she learned about the female members of the Seven Absolutes Sect, she realized how true the saying, ‘No matter how strong you are, there will always be someone stronger,’ was. Compared to the female members of the Seven Absolutes Sect, she was not worth mentioning at all.

‘However, with my improved Innate Spiritual Root, I’ll be able to raise my cultivation base quickly in the Upper Province! I’ll definitely catch up to them in no time at all,’ Gan Ru Yan thought to herself resolutely. She felt extremely confident due to her dark violet Innate Spiritual Root. When she was in the Lower Province, her cultivation speed had surpassed the speed when she was in the Upper Province. Now that she had returned to the Upper Province with her improved Innate Spiritual Root, her cultivation speed was going to become even faster. After all, the cultivation environment in the Lower Province was inferior compared to the Upper Province.

Meanwhile, Ke’er finally regained her senses after overhearing the discussion of the group of diners in the main hall. “The Seven Absolutes Sect… Sword Saint Feng Qing Yang…” She quickly turned to Duan Ling Tian and transmitted her voice to him. “Brother Tian, that Senior Feng Qing Yang… Isn’t he the one who left the Sovereign Heart Sword behind?”

As Duan Ling Tian’s woman, Ke’er was, naturally, privy to a lot of matters. She knew that he had inherited the Sovereign Heart Sword from Sword Saint Feng Qing Yang and that he acknowledged Feng Qing Yang as his master.

Duan Ling Tian transmitted his voice to Ke’er when he heard her question. “You’re right. The former successor of the Fog Rain Progeny, the First Absolute of the Seven Absolutes Sect, is the same person who left me the Sovereign Heart Sword… When I received Feng Qing Yang’s legacy, I became the current successor of the Fog Rain Progeny. However, at that time, I was unaware that the Fog Rain Progeny is part of the Seven Absolutes Sect. I didn’t even know the sect exists.”

Ke’er asked through Voice Transmission, “I see. That means you just found out that you’re the sect leader of an ancient sect!”

“Hmm,” Duan Ling Tian responded to Ke’er. After that, he laughed wryly as he thought to himself, ‘I didn’t expect such a ‘huge trap’ would be waiting for me when I accepted the legacy of Senior Feng Qing Yang…’

The Sect Leader of the Seven Absolutes Sect was not just an honorable position, it came with a huge responsibility as well. When Feng Qing Yang was around, the Seven Absolutes Sect had suppressed the three great sects! When Feng Qing Yang ascended, almost all the successors of the Absolutes had ascended as well. For this reason, the Seven Absolutes Sect was left with no new successors. This opened up an opportunity for the three great sects to make a comeback. They had joined forces to suppress the Seven Absolutes Sect to the point where it was almost destroyed. The reason the Seven Absolutes Sect had disappeared from the public eye was due to the three great sects. Whenever they had leads about the Seven Absolutes Sect, they would undoubtedly send men out to kill the members of the Seven Absolutes Sect. They wanted to destroy the Seven Absolutes Sect for revenge. Apart from that, they were also worried another talented genius like Feng Qing Yang would appear again and lead the Seven Absolutes Sect to a glorious new era and suppress them again. For this reason, many people from the Seven Absolutes Sect had been killed by the three great sects.

‘I accepted the Sovereign Heart Sword from Senior Feng Qing Yang and became the successor of the Fog Rain Progeny… Since that’s the case, it means I’ve agreed to shoulder the responsibility of a successor of the Fog Rain Progeny.’ Since Duan Ling Tian had inherited the Sovereign Heart Sword from Feng Qing Yang, he had no plans to neglect the responsibility that he was saddled with. ‘Since I’m the Sect Leader of the Seven Absolutes Sect, I must avenge the sect and deal with the three great sects…’ His eyes were cold when he thought about this.

Although the three ladies knew Duan Ling Tian would not hurt them, they could not help feeling chills run their spines when they saw Duan Ling Tian’s cold gaze.

At this moment, the room was extremely quiet. It was so quiet that one could even hear the sound of a needle dropping on the floor.

Duan Ling Tian’s gaze was ice-cold and white-hot anger could be seen in them as he continued thinking to himself, ‘As it happens, I returned to the Upper Province to seek revenge for Elder Huo from Tang Xuan, the Sect Leader of Fire Worship Sect. I’ll start with Tang Xuan to settle blood debt between the Seven Absolutes Sect and the three great sects.’ He planned to avenge the Seven Absolutes Sect before he ascended to the Devata Realm. He planned to completely annihilate the three great sects! After all, this was part of the responsibility of the successor of Fog Rain Progeny and the Sect Leader of the Seven Absolutes Sect!

After a moment, Duan Ling Tian stood up and said to the three ladies, “Let’s return to the Fire Worship Sect!”

The three ladies could hear the impatience in Duan Ling Tian’s voice so they did not say anything and stood up as well. They left the room and walked to the main hall.

As they walked past the bustling main hall, many people’s gazes were trained on the two sisters, Ke’er and Gan Ru Yan due to how beautiful they were. With their peerless beauty and graceful figures, the surroundings seemed to dim in comparison. Moreover, the two women looked identical. Two strikingly beautiful women who looked identical but possessed different bearings would definitely attract attention no matter where they went.

Duan Ling Tian scoffed when he saw people blatantly staring at Ke’er. He stopped moving immediately. The sound he made when he scoffed was not loud, but it sounded thunderous and terrifying when the diners heard it.

At the same time, a cold energy swept through the main hall, causing everyone to feel as though winter had arrived.
