2479 Anxious and Doubtful

“This Divine Consciousness…” Duan Ling Tian frowned as colors drained from the faces of the Nangong twins. Duan Ling Tian had already discovered the Divine Consciousness belonged to someone who was at or above the Seven Tribulation Bodiless Celestial.

Ke’er said promptly, “It’s the Divine Consciousness of an Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestial.” She turned to Duan Ling Tian and asked softly, “Brother Tian, should I warn him off?”

“No need.” Upon learning the Divine Consciousness belonged to an Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestial, Duan Ling Tian narrowed his eyes and said indifferently, “I’d like to see this Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestial who dares to target the members of my Seven Absolutes Sect!” Killing intent surged from his body as his eyes flashed viciously.

“Ah?” Although Duan Ling Tian and Ke’er were not conversing loudly, everyone heard their conversation due to the silence. The Nangong twins were, naturally, surprised by their conversation. They were already surprised when Ke’er accurately determined the cultivation base of that person hot on their trails. They were even more shocked when they saw Duan Ling Tian’s indifference. Based on Duan Ling Tian’s attitude, he did not seem afraid of the Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestial?

‘Is it possible that Duan Ling Tian has obtained the inheritance from a Great Overarching Golden Celestial?’ This thought appeared simultaneously in the Nangong twins’ minds when they saw how confident Duan Ling Tian was.

After arriving at the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone and speaking to those people from the other four large mundane realms, they had also learned about Feng Qing Yang. They knew that he was able to kill Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestials and had strength comparable to Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial after obtaining the inheritance from a Great Overarching Golden Celestial.

“Tell me what happened?” Duan Ling Tian asked once the anxiety on the Nangong twins’ faces disappeared.

“So…” Nangong Yi who had thought Duan Ling Tian had obtained the inheritance from a Great Overarching Golden Celestial sighed inwardly and recounted everything that had happened.

A few days ago, the Nangong twins encountered two groups of people fighting for a Celestial Supreme Treasures in an earth-rank treasure vault. They stayed back and watched, and the results were surprising. Both groups fought with all their might. In the end, only a few cultivators at the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage survived, even then, they were severely injured. At that moment, the Nangong twins made up their minds decisively and snatched the Celestial Supreme Treasures. It was the two pairs of boots on their feet.

Duan Ling Tian said with a slight surprise, “Both of you are quite lucky… You benefited from the situation and managed to obtain two Celestial Supreme Treasures. All of us have been to earth-rank treasure vaults, but they all only contained one Celestial Supreme Treasure respectively..”

“We might be lucky, but we’ve also attracted trouble…” Nangong Yi said with a bitter smile, “At that time, although the remaining cultivators at the Eight Form of the Saint Celestial Stage are severely injured, it would take a long time for us to kill them. Moreover, they had already used their communication jade tokens to call for backups. One of them even said an Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestial from their sect was nearby. Both of us were afraid and could only think of returning to the Saint Province Realm.” He sighed as he said, “I’m sure you can guess what happened next…”

“Yes.” Duan Ling Tian nodded and smiled faintly. “Regardless, congratulations are still in order. Both of you managed to obtain a Celestial Supreme Treasure each. Moreover, it’s a movement-type Celestial Supreme Treasure.

Movement-type Celestial Supreme Treasures were much harder to refine compared to offensive Celestial Supreme Treasure. Hence, they were much rarer. Elder Huo, the Three-legged Golden Crow, Elder Huo, had told Duan Ling Tian about this. Apart from that, Elder Huo had also told him about the movement-type Celestial Supreme Treasures in the Jade Emperor Heaven. The only one that stayed in Duan Ling Tian’s memory was the movement-type Celestial Supreme Treasure called Wind Fire Wheels that was possessed by Nezha, the son of the Pagoda Bearing Heavenly King Li Jing.

Nangong Yi smiled bitterly as he said, “You can congratulate us if we survive this. Currently, an Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestial has found us with his Divine Consciousness.”

Duan Ling Tian’s expression was calm as he said indifferently, “Don’t worry. A mere Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestial isn’t strong enough to snatch your Celestial Supreme Treasures away under my watch!”

As soon as Duan Ling Tian finished speaking, a booming voice rang from the distance, causing the Nangong twins’ expressions to change drastically. “What an arrogant brat!”

Although Duan Ling Tian seemed extremely confident, the Nangong twins who were unaware of Duan Ling Tian’s strength were still affected by the arrival of the seemingly invincible Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestial.

Whoosh!

The sound of wind howling rang in the air, displaying the speed of the incoming person. Duan Ling Tian and Ke’er were the only ones who could see his movements clearly.

The newcomer was a muscular red-clad old man. When he moved, he seemed like a ball of flames that was capable of destroying in his path. Based on his aura, it seemed like he could be considered as quite strong among Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestials.

Duan Ling Tian thought to himself, ‘This old man’s aura is slightly weaker than the strongest Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestial from Mouro Realm whom I killed.’

Whoosh!

A warm breeze blew past, and the red-clad old man arrived in front of Duan Ling Tian and his companions. His red robes fluttered behind him like flames dancing in the wind, making him look as though he was shrouded by fire.

“Lad, I’m truly curious… Who gave you the courage to say that I, an Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestial, am not strong enough to snatch the Celestial Supreme Treasures under your watch!”

The red-clad old man had a square face, and when he glared, he looked like an angry gorilla. He radiated a cold aura that seemed to cause the surroundings’ temperature to drop.

Faced with the domineering red-clad old man, Duan Ling Tian said calmly, “What? Are you looking down on Eminent Celestials?”

“Hm?” As an Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestial, the red-clad old man was definitely not a fool. Seeing Duan Ling Tian remained calm at this point, he could not help the doubts that rose in his heart. ‘Why is this brat so calm? What is he hiding?’ The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became, and his self-doubt began to grow. ‘Could he be…’

Soon after, the red-clad old man’s expression changed. As he was looking at Duan Ling Tian, he recalled something. “Are you the boy who obtained the inheritance from a Great Overarching Golden Celestial?” He was aware that the last time the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone opened, the person who managed to obtain the inheritance from a Great Overarching Golden Celestial had killed an Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestial before he left. He reasoned that since this Eminent Celestial in front of him was clearly unafraid of him, an Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestial, this purple-clad young man must have obtained the inheritance from a Great Overarching Golden Celestial!

Duan Ling Tian remained silent but Nangong Yi scoffed. “Well, let me tell you something since you’re smart enough to guess Duan Ling Tian has obtained the inheritance from a Great Overarching Golden Celestial. This person here can also be considered as the disciple of Senior Feng Qing Yang, the person who obtained the inheritance from a Great Overarching Golden Celestial the last time the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone opened!”

The red-clad old man’s expression changed drastically as soon as he heard Nangong Yi’s words.

Feng Qing Yang! The person who claimed the inheritance from a Great Overarching Golden Celestial the last time Beyond Heaven Secret Zone opened.

“Then, this means all of you are from the Saint Province Realm? I assume this must be the point of entrance and exit to the Saint Province Realm in the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone?” The red-clad old man pointed to the black hole in the void.

“That’s right.” Nangong Yi lifted his chin, clearly proud he was from the Saint Province Realm.

At this crucial moment, Duan Ling Tian suddenly chimed in, “I didn’t obtain the inheritance from a Great Overarching Golden Celestial.”

Upon hearing this, Nangong Yi’s smile froze on his face. Even Nangong Chen’s expression changed slightly.

The eyes of the red-clad old man brightened immediately. He was vacillating between leaving or not earlier. ‘He didn’t obtain the inheritance from a Great Overarching Golden Celestial?’

Seeing the old man’s expression, Duan Ling Tian said with a smirk, “What? Do you think I won’t be able to stop you just because I didn’t obtain the inheritance from a Great Overarching Golden Celestial?
