Duan Ling Tian knew about the Golden Evolution Pill as well. The pill was a mediocre Celestial Pill that was mainly used by Great Overarching Golden Celestials. Ordinary Great Overarching Golden Celestials would be able to improve their strength by a level immediately after taking the pill. This, naturally, did not apply to peak Great Overarching Golden Celestials. Since the next stage of peak Great Overarching Golden Celestial was to become an Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial, it would render the pill useless. A heaven-rank Great Great Overarching Golden Celestial could quickly become a peak Great Overarching Golden Celestial after taking the pill. To reach the next level, the peak Great Overarching Golden Celestial would then have to take the prominent Celestial Pill, the Overarching Heaven Pill.

‘To transform the mindless Celestial Beasts from a heaven-rank Great Golden Overarching Golden Celestial to a peak Great Overarching Celestial, one would need a Golden Evolution Pill. To make it even stronger, one would need the Overarching Heaven Pill. However, the Golden Evolution isn’t easy to obtain. It’s considered as one of the rarest mediocre Celestial Pills. In fact, its price is far more than some prominent Celestial Pills. To use the Golden Evolution Pill on Celestial Beasts is a luxury. Let alone the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom, even the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland can’t afford to do something like that…’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself. ‘To raise the strength of a Celestial Beast to the level of an Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial would be extremely difficult since it requires a lot of Overarching Heaven Pills. The pills are difficult to obtain even for the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland.’ With these thoughts in mind, Duan Ling Tian was certain that the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland might not even have a Celestial Beast with the strength of an Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial. Even if they did, the number would not be high.

The entourage from the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom led by the Emperor of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom to Tai Yi City consisted of high-ranking officials, the fifty participants, and a few attendants of the emperor and high-ranking officials. Needless to say, the fourth prince and the seventh prince were part of the entourage as well.

Duan Ling Tian, Long Fei Yun, and Huan’er kept their distance from the group. They were traveling at high speed with Qiu Ling’s help. Since Qiu Ling was a heaven-rank Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial, it was not difficult for him to carry a few people with him and match the speed of the nine Lion Tiger Celestial Beasts

“Thirteenth brother is truly lucky,” Long Xiang Yun, the fourth prince, said with a sour expression on his face as he looked at Long Fei Yun. Although he had representatives among the fifty participants of the Wasteland Grand Contest, none of them was comparable to Duan Ling Tian and Feng Wu Ji Guang. He was, naturally, jealous of Long Fei Yun for having a strong contender like Duan Ling Tian to represent him in the Wasteland Grand Contest.

Meanwhile, Long Qing Yun, the seventh prince, who was also looking at Long Fei Yun thought to himself, “Fortunately, father doesn’t favor thirteenth brother. Otherwise, he would be another obstacle in my way to ascend the throne.” Even then he did not feel completely at ease, after all, there was a chance Duan Ling Tian might be able to help his thirteenth brother ascend the throne. Although Duan Ling Tian might not be able to do so now, with Duan Ling Tian’s potential, it was possible for him to do so.

The group made their way to one of the top three cities in the center of the Wasteland. So far, the journey was proceeding smoothly. It seemed like no one was foolish enough to stop this group of people. It was only natural after all considering the large number of people in the group. One would have to be foolish to make trouble for the group of people. However, if their opponent was a Celestial Duke or stronger, they, naturally, had no hope of winning. Regardless, there was no Celestial Duke who would obstruct them. After all with Celestial Dukes’ strength, they had no need to stoop to such a low level.

…

After half a month on the road, Long Fei Yun said to Duan Ling Tian, “Brother Duan, we’ll be arriving in Tai Yi City in another three days.”

Duan Ling Tian nodded, not affected by this piece of information. He did not care about the Wasteland Grand Contest that was about to take place. After all, his participation was just a formality. Even if he did not join the contest, he would still be able to easily join the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect. That said, he still planned to participate in the contest.

Three days flew by in just a wink of an eye. The people from the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom finally arrived in Tai Yi City. Under the lead of Long Dong Ping, they descended outside the city.

At this moment, nobody could be seen coming out or entering the city. It was obvious a rule had been implemented, forbidding people to come in and out.

“This is Tai Yi City?” Duan Ling Tian’s eyes brightened when he saw Tai Yi City for the first time. Since he was in the mundane realm to the time he had ascended to the Spirit Overarching Heaven, a Devata Realm, this was the biggest city he had ever seen. Even the high-rank Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom could not compare to it. However, he was not surprised. After all, Tai Yi City was controlled by Tai Yi Celestial Sect, one of the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland.

As the group from Soaring Dragon Celestial City walked into Tai Yi City, the pedestrians on the streets began to discuss among themselves.

“These people should be here to participate in the Wasteland Grand Contest in three months, right?”

“It seems like they have 50 participants with them. They must be from a high-rank Celestial Kingdom.”

“There are 39 high-rank Celestial Kingdoms in the Wasteland… I wonder which high-rank Celestial Kingdoms are they from?”

“Well, high-rank Celestial Kingdoms or not, they’re nothing in our Tai Yi City.”

“Indeed. Many of the high-rank Celestial Kingdoms that are coming are led by their emperors.”

Everywhere the group went, they would inadvertently attract people’s attention.

Since the Wasteland Grand Contest was held in Tai Yi City, the Tai Yi Sect had prepared accommodation for the participating Celestial Kingdoms. Naturally, there was A difference in accommodation for the Celestial Kingdoms. Needless to say, high-rank Celestial Kingdoms had the best accommodation, intermediate-rank Celestial Kingdoms were given mediocre accommodations, and low-rank Celestial Kingdoms were given accommodations that were not the best.

Since the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom was a high-rank Celestial Kingdom, they were given a big mansion to stay in. Each person had their own individual courtyard and room.

Huan’er was also given a courtyard and room of her own. However, she clearly had no intention to stay there as she followed Duan Ling Tian to his courtyard and room. She did not want to be separated from Duan Ling Tian.

Before the duo had time to settle down, Long Fei Yun, the thirteenth prince, had come knocking on their door. He asked with a smile, “Brother Duan, Miss Huan’er…This is your first time in Tai Yi city, right?”

“Yes.” Duan Ling Tian nodded.

“Do you both of you want to join me for a meal in one of the restaurants here?” Long Fei Yun asked.

Duan Ling Tian looked at Huan’er immediately. He discovered she had already turned to look at him as well. A hint of excitement could be seen in her eyes, she was clearly eager and excited to go out. Therefore, he accepted Long Fei Yun’s invitation. In truth, he did not particularly care for a city tour even though he had never been to Tai Yi City. However, since Huan’er was keen, he decided to accompany her.

“Brother Ling Tian, do you like shopping?” Huan’er asked Duan Ling Tian.

“Well, as long as you like it, then, I like it as well,” Duan Ling Tian said affectionately. He was not lying. After all, seeing how happy Huan’er was when she was walking around and shopping made him feel relaxed as well. However, he did not have any extraneous thoughts about her. He only treated her like his little sister. It was nothing more than that. It was because he did not find Huan’er unattractive. He was just not in the mood to have another romantic entanglement. After all, his wives and partner’s whereabouts were still unknown. Even their safety was unknown.

“Let’s go!” Long Fei Yun said before bringing the duo around the city.

…

“Hm?” As they were walking down the main road, Duan Ling Tian felt someone staring at him. He looked into the distance and discovered a young man wearing an embroidered uniform staring at him. However, the young man quickly turned away upon being discovered and walked away immediately as though nothing had happened.

‘He seems to know me?’ Duan Ling Tian frowned, perplexed. He was certain he had not met the young man before.

…

After the young man walked away, his eyes brightened. “That purple-clad young man… Isn’t he the one in the Floating Image Pearl that the Sixth Prince of the Cloudy Rock Kingdom showed us?”
