Chapter 2398 The Celestial Sword And The Soul Congregation Embodiment!

‘I wonder what’s the origin of the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone? There are even Celestial Supreme Treasures in here?’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself as he raised his hand. A sword appeared in his hand immediately.

The sword was translucent like a crystal. From afar, it looked as though it was made from water. It was extremely pleasing to the eyes. The sword that Duan Ling Tian held in his hand did not look particularly outstanding but it was a Celestial Supreme Treasure!

‘Although this sword is far from being comparable to the Jasper Celestial Sword, it’s still a Celestial Supreme Treasure. I didn’t expect the first item I obtained in the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone would be a Celestial Sword! With this sword, my strength has surpassed that of a Six Tribulation Bodiless Celestials. I would say it’s comparable to a Seven Tribulation Bodiless Celestial!’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself as he studied the translucent sword in his hand.

‘Fortunately, among the two groups of people that I encountered, the strongest among them were two Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestials. If there was a Six Tribulation Bodiless Celestial, I’m not sure if I’ll be able to obtain this Celestial Sword!’ Duan Ling Tian had snatched this Celestial Sword from the two groups of people from the other mundane realms.

Earlier, Duan Ling Tian had come across a group of people and overheard their discussion about a treasure. For this reason, he decided to follow them from afar and eventually discovered the treasure that they had mentioned was a Celestial Supreme Treasure. Moreover, it was a Celestial Sword. If it was some other Celestial Weapon, it would not be much use to Duan Ling Tian. However, a Celestial Sword was extremely useful to Duan Ling Tian. After all, Duan Ling Tian who had inherited the legacy of Sword Saint Feng Qing Yang was a Sword Cultivator. A sword was akin to the life of a Sword Cultivator! The saying, ‘A man lives when the sword is alive, and a man dies when the sword is dead’, aptly described a Sword Cultivator.

With Duan Ling Tian’s current strength, swords, even Super Saint Weapons, from the mundane realms were not helpful to him at all. Only Celestial Supreme Treasures or weapons of a higher grade would be able to help him raise his strength. For this reason, when he discovered the treasure was a Celestial Sword, he began to think of ways to get his hands on the Celestial Sword!

Shortly after, another group of people arrived. They had also wanted the Celestial Sword, therefore, they began to fight with the first group of people. Their verbal spat quickly escalated into a battle.

It was at that moment that Duan Ling Tian quickly made his move and sneakily obtained the Celestial Sword. Contrary to expectations, he did not leave as soon as he obtained the sword. Instead, he remained on the scene and studied the Celestial Sword.

Meanwhile, the two groups of people who had discovered the absence of the Celestial Sword finally stopped fighting and switched their target to Duan Ling Tian. How could they let Duan Ling Tian go? After all, they were fighting for the ownership of the sword. Now that the groups of people discovered that the sword they were fighting over had been taken by a third party, it was only natural that they would stop fighting.

‘This is a good sword!’ Duan Ling Tian had felt excited when he discovered the sword he held in his hand was a Celestial Supreme Treasure.

At the same time, the groups of people joined forces and began to attack Duan Ling Tian. Based on their attacks, it was clear that they intended to kill him.

Among the two groups of peoples, the two strongest people were Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestials. Duan Ling Tian had cast the assist-type Divine Ability, the Elementary Devouring Technique, and the Sovereign Heart Sword with the Celestial Sword to kill the two Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestials without expending too much effort. Before the others regained their senses, everyone, except for one person, was killed by him.

Duan Ling Tian had spared that person’s life and interrogated him. Through that person, Duan Ling Tian learned that he was not in the so-called Sword Saint Secret Zone, but he was in the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone that was linked to five mundane realms.

‘This means Senior Feng Qing Yang didn’t create this place. He had only worked to obtain a key for the future generation…’ At that moment, realization finally dawned on Duan Ling Tian.

After that, Duan Ling Tian had tried to obtain more information about the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone from that person. However, the person did not know much. All he knew was the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone had existed since a very long time ago, and it would open every 100,000 to 200,000 years.

‘In other words, I can only depend on myself in the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone. I can’t expect help from Senior Feng Qing Yang since he didn’t create this place. I’ll have to depend on myself to deal with threats and see if I have any fortuitous encounter!’ Duan Ling Tian became heavy-hearted when he thought about this. Prior to this, he had thought that the Sword Saint Secret Zone was created by Sword Saint Feng Qing Yang, therefore, the threats in here would not be too vicious and were only meant to strengthen and train him. He had thought he only needed to work hard to obtain the legacy left behind by Sword Saint Feng Qing Yang. However, currently, he realized there was no legacy from Sword Saint Feng Qing Yang in here!

Based on what Duan Ling Tian had learned, he knew the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone was not simple. Even a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial would not miss the chance to enter this secret zone!

‘Based on what I know, before ascending, Senior Feng Qing Yang’s strongest technique was the Sovereign Heart Sword. However, after he came out from the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone, he was capable of killing Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestials even though he was only an Eminent Celestial. It’s obvious that it had something to do with this secret zone!’ Duan Ling Tian speculated inwardly, “It’s likely that Senior Feng Qing Yang had a fortuitous encounter in here that granted him strength comparable to Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestials and kill Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestials despite only being an Eminent Celestial!”

Duan Ling Tian was extremely curious. In the past, after Sword Saint Feng Qing Yang had completely mastered all five stages of the Sovereign Heart Sword, his strength was only comparable to a Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestial. However, how did he possess strength comparable to a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial and the ability to kill Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestials? Did he have some other heaven-defying techniques or was it due to a fortuitous encounter in the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone? Was he even human? Even after thinking about it for a long time, he was not any closer to figuring it out. However, he thought it was more likely that Sword Saint Feng Qing Yang had a fortuitous encounter in the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone. The more he thought about it, the more convinced he was.

After a while, Duan Ling Tian’s thought veered in another direction again. ‘I didn’t expect that apart from me and my companions, there are other people from the other four mundane realms who have entered the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone as well. Moreover, quite a number of them are Bodiless Celestials! Based on what that person said, there are at least 100 Bodiless Celestials from his mundane realm who have entered this secret zone!’ He could not help but shudder when he thought about this. Although he was not entirely defenseless against a Seven Tribulation Bodiless Celestial, what if he met an Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestial? Even worse, what if he met Bodiless Celestials who cultivated the Soul Congregation Embodiment?

It was no secret that Bodiless Celestials’ true forms were their souls. In order to maintain the stability of their souls, it was impossible for them to unleash soul attacks unlike when they had a physical body. If they forcefully cast a soul attack, it might result in their deaths and their souls being destroyed. However, this could be avoided if they cultivated the Soul Congregation Embodiment. If a person cultivated the Soul Congregation Embodiment before becoming a Bodiless Celestial, once he or she had become a Bodiless Celestials, he or she would be able to cast soul attacks unreservedly. There was no need for them to fear death when they cast soul attacks.

‘There are so many Bodiless Celestials in here… It’s not impossible to have one or two of them who had successfully cultivated the Soul Congregation Embodiment.’ When Duan Ling Tian thought of this, he felt his body turn cold.

If Duan Ling Tian met a Three Tribulation Bodiless Celestial who cultivated the Soul Congregation Embodiment, there was a chance that the Bodiless Celestial could injure Duan Ling Tian’s soul before Duan Ling Tian could even kill the Bodiless Celestial.

If Duan Ling Tian was unlucky enough to meet a Four Tribulation Bodiless Celestial who had cultivated the Soul Congregation Embodiment, it would be difficult for his soul to survive the soul attack!

As impressive and strong as Duan Ling Tian was, when it came down to it, he was just an Eminent Celestial. How could his soul compare to those who were Three, Four, Five or even higher Tribulation Bodiless Celestials?
