2559 Tang Xiao Xiao’s Ascension!

‘Comparable to top Celestial Supreme Treasures in the Devata Realms?’ Duan Ling Tian’s eyes widened when he heard Xia Jie’s words. According to the Pagoda Spirit, Elder Huo, the Celestial Supreme Treasure, the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, that he had obtained by chance was also a top Celestial Supreme Treasure. However, because the pagoda was broken, its full strength could not be exerted. He learned from Elder Huo that top Celestial Supreme Treasures were extremely rare in Devata Realms. Moreover, Elder Huo had also told him Devata Artifacts were usually only possessed by Heavenly Emperors of Devata Realms. All Devata Artifacts usually have artifact souls. This was the extent of his knowledge of Devata Artifacts. He did not ask for further explanation from Elder Huo previously. After all, at that time, obtaining a Devata Artifact was like a dream.

Although Duan Ling Tian was surprised Xia Jie would give him a top Celestial Weapon, he was still able to maintain his composure. After all, although it was broken, he had once possessed the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda that was also a top Celestial Treasure. The artifact soul of the pagoda, Elder Huo, was both his teacher and his friend.

Duan Ling Tian thought to himself, ‘According to third uncle, this Devata Artifact, the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword, only has strength comparable to a top Celestial Weapon because it has lost its artifact soul! Even then, it’s much stronger than my Celestial Sword! It’s even stronger than the Jasper Celestial Sword from the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda!’ After he had tested the sword, it was clear it was stronger than the swords he had owned.

A hint of excitement rose in Duan Ling Tian’s heart. Even without its artifact soul, its power was comparable to a top Celestial Weapon. Moreover, it was not in need of repair like the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Duan Ling Tian sent his energy as an Eminent Celestial into the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword and sword ray appeared on the tip of the sword. The sword ray shot out and left a hideous crack in the void. If he had used his ordinary energy as an Eminent Celestial and sent it into his Celestial Sword, the Celestial Sword would not have been able to have such an effect!

Duan Ling Tian continued to study the sword as Tang Xiao Xiao said in surprise, “It seems like the sword is really extraordinary!”

Duan Ling Tian who was delighted to have obtained such a treasure replied with a smile, “Of course! This sword is comparable to top Celestial Supreme Treasures in the Devata Realms. How can it not be extraordinary?”

“A-are you j-joking?” Tang Xiao Xiao was shocked by Duan Ling Tian’s words. The sword was comparable to top Celestial Treasures in the Devata Realms? Since she was from Tang Sect that had a long history in Yan Huang Realm, she was quite knowledgeable. She had, naturally, heard of top Celestial Treasures in the Devata Realms. However, it was only a legend. The sect had never seen nor possessed a Celestial Supreme Treasure of that level before. How could she not feel shocked?

“Why would I lie to you?” Duan Ling Tian shook his head. Meanwhile, with just a thought, he put the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword away. It turned into a streak of light and disappeared into the mark on his palm without a trace. He could feel the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword that had become a part of him in his body.

When Tang Xiao Xiao finally regained her senses, she said, “I forgot this sword was given to you by Senior Xia Jie. Even that man from the Divine Offering Land who’s stronger than Heavenly Emperors is afraid of Senior Xia Jie. It’s not surprising that the weapon he gave you is so extraordinary.” A hint of envy could be heard in her voice when she spoke. After all, was there anyone who would not feel moved by a top Celestial Supreme Treasure?

Duan Ling Tian fell silent when he heard Tang Xiao Xiao’s words. “The Divine Offering Land…” These three words were the thorn in his heart. It was difficult to remove.

When Tang Xiao Xiao saw Duan Ling Tian had fallen silent and his dark expression, it was not difficult for her to guess Duan Ling Tian was reminded of something unpleasant. Moreover, he had told her about the anguish he had buried in the depth of his heart. She felt bad for mentioning the Divine Offering Land and quickly apologized, “I’m sorry.”

Duan Ling Tian regained his senses, and his expression turned slightly better. He shook his head and said, “Don’t worry about it. There are things I won’t be able to stop thinking about even if you don’t mention it. I would only be deceiving myself if I blame you!” He did not think she was at fault since this was his problem.

Tang Xiao Xiao said solemnly, “I believe you’ll certainly possess the strength to gain your father-in-law’s approval and be reunited with your wife after 1,000 years!”

“Thank you.” Duan Ling Tian smiled.

At this moment, Tang Xiao Xiao’s expression suddenly changed as though she had sensed something. “Hmm?”

Upon seeing this, Duan Ling Tian asked, concerned, “What’s going on?”

Tang Xiao Xiao smiled bitterly. “I-I think I’m leaving the mundane realm before you…”

Duan Ling Tian was startled by Tang Xiao Xiao’s words. His eyes lit up as he asked, “Did you feel your Celestial Ascension Force?”

Tang Xiao Xiao nodded. “Yes.” Then, she said with a sigh, “I didn’t think my Celestial Ascension Force would come within ten years after I successfully passed my tribulation. I think I have to leave now.”

“This is good news, right? Why do you speak as though it’s a bad thing?” Duan Ling Tian shook his head as he smiled.

“Duan Ling Tian, I don’t know when we’ll meet again, but I’ll never forget that my life belongs to you!” Tang Xiao Xiao said solemnly.

Duan Ling Tian said in an equally solemn voice, “Don’t mention it anymore. Your life belongs to you, not me. I was helping my friend out when I killed that Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial from the Heavenly Wave Mansion. I don’t expect anything in return. You don’t owe me anything.”

Boom!

Tang Xiao Xiao was about to reply when a deafening sound rang from the sky.

Duan Ling Tian sensed a peerless energy in the air that shrouded Tang Xiao Xiao. ‘So this is the Celestial Ascension Force?”

Whoosh!

Then, Duan Ling Tian saw a flash of light. When the flash of light disappeared, Tang Xiao Xiao had also disappeared. Everything happened in just a split second that it took him a moment to regain his senses. ‘So she has ascended? I wish her all the best in the Devata Realm!’

Although Duan Ling Tian merely saw Tang Xiao Xiao as an ordinary friend, they had been together for some time. Therefore, he felt rather reluctant to part with her when she suddenly left. ‘There’s no feast that doesn’t end, I hope we’ll meet again in the Devata Realm.’ He suppressed the sense of reluctance he felt as he followed after the jade token that Xia Jie had given him.

‘Crimson Sky Kingdom?’ Soon after, Duan Ling Tian discovered the jade token had not only brought him to the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom where the Seven Star Sword Sect was located, but it had led him to his hometown, the Crimson Sky Kingdom!
