“The Golden Buddha, Teng Yun Shan?!”

“D-didn’t he die 3,000 years ago? How can he still be alive? Did he fake his death?”

“Of course. Otherwise, how’s he here in Tai Yi City?”

“It looks like the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect takes the Wasteland Grand Contest very seriously. Otherwise, why would the Golden Buddha, Teng Yun Shan, who has been in hiding for so many years, personally make a visit here?”

News of the members from the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect being led by Teng Yun Shan, the Golden Buddha, to Tai Yi City spread like a wildfire. This, naturally, caused a huge commotion. After all, many people had assumed Teng Yun Shan had died many years ago? How could they not be shocked when someone whom they had assumed was dead suddenly showed up alive and well?

…

Unlike most people in Tai Yi City who were shocked by this news, the high-ranking officials of the Tai Yi Celestial Sects and the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect were not shocked that Teng Yun Shan was alive. Not only that, but they also knew he was an Eight Trigrams Celestial Duke and the strongest person in the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect. On the contrary, they were more shocked that Teng Yun Shan had personally come to Tai Yi City.

In the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect.

“Teng Yun Shan? He actually came?”

“What’s happening? Although the contest is related to the Little World left behind by a Celestial King, there’s no need for him to personally make the trip here, right?”

…

In the Tai Yi Celestial Sect.

“Teng Yun Shan? He personally led the members of his sect here?” Tie Tai He, the Left Guardian of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, was extremely shocked when he learned of the news from a Communication Celestial Talisman.

“Teng Yun Shan?” Duan Ling Tian looked at Tie Tai He in confusion.

Coincidentally, Tie Tai He had come looking for Duan Ling Tian today. When he regained his senses and saw Duan Ling Tian looking at him in confusion, he explained, “He’s an Eight Trigrams Celestial Duke from the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect!”

“Eight Trigrams Celestial Duke?!” Duan Ling Tian narrowed his eyes and continued asking, “Guardian Tie, why do you think the Eight Trigrams Celestial Duke from the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect personally led the members of his sect here?”

“Isn’t the Wasteland Grand Contest about to start? After the arrival of the group from the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect, the group from the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect has also arrived…” Tie Tai He paused, he did not answer Duan Ling Tian’s question, before he muttered, “Who knew Teng Yun Shan would lead the group here?”

“An Eight Trigrams Celestial Duke leading the group here…” Duan Ling Tian could not help feel shocked. “Is it possible that the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect thinks they have a higher chance of recruiting excellent powerhouses with the presence of an Eight Trigrams Celestial Duke?”

“Impossible!” Tie Tai He shook his head. “The Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland had long come to an agreement that we would fairly share the best participants of the Wasteland Grand Contest that we’ll send into the Little World.” After a while, he added, “So what if the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect has an Eight Trigrams Celestial Duke leading their group? Do you think that our Tai Yi Celestial Sect and the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect have no Eight Trigrams Celestial Duke? Moreover, the Eight Trigrams Celestial Duke in our sect possesses a King Grade Celestial Weapon. With the Celestial Weapon, Teng Yun Shan is no match for our patriarch at all!” A hint of scorn could be heard in his voice when he was approaching the end of his words. His eyes were brimming with extreme confidence when he spoke about the Eight Trigrams Celestial Duke of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect who was also the patriarch.

Duan Ling Tian said skeptically, “Then, why would he personally come?”

“I find it strange as well.” Tie Tai He frowned. “Teng Yun Shan, the Eight Trigrams Celestial Duke of the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect, is the former sect leader. However, the outside world began to spread rumors 3,000 years ago that he had died. Only a handful of high-ranking members of the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland knew the truth of the matter. By revealing himself this time, he seems to want the world to know that he didn’t die. He must be up to something!” He seemed sure of it.

“I agree. Teng Yun Shan must be planning something for him to show up after all this time.” Duan Ling Tian nodded. It was not difficult to guess that Teng Yun Shan was probably scheming something when he suddenly chose to reveal himself after hiding away for 3,000 years.

“Regardless of the reason why Teng Yun Shan chose to reveal himself, he won’t be able to do as he pleases in Tai Yi Celestial Sect’s territory!” Tie Tai He was clearly very confident about the Tai Yi Celestial Sect’s strength.

“Hmm.” Duan Ling Tian could understand Tie Tai He’s confidence. After all, the Tai Yi Celestial Sect did not only have an Eight Trigrams Celestial Duke but also a King Grade Celestial Weapon that the other Two Major Celestial Sects in the Wasteland did not have.

“Hmm?” All of a sudden, Tie Tai He raised his hand at lightning speed and grabbed something in the air.

Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian could clearly see that a Celestial Talisman that slowly turned into dust in Tie Tai He’s hand. He knew it was a Communication Celestial Talisman with just a glance.

After Tie Tai He read the Communication Celestial Talisman, he immediately looked at Duan Ling Tian and said, “Alchemist Duan, this Communication Celestial Talisman is sent by our sect leader. He said that the Supreme Elder of the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect wants to meet you.”

“The Supreme Elder of the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect? Is she that Seven Stars Celestial Duke who led the members of the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect here?” Duan Ling Tian cocked an eyebrow when he heard Tie Tai He’s words.

“Yes, it’s her!” Tie Tai He nodded. “Other than her, there’s another person who came to visit the Tai Yi Celestial Sect as well. I think you’re familiar with that person.”

“Who’s it?” Duan Ling Tian asked. He did not seem to register that Tie Tai He said he was familiar with that person.

“Zhou Shu Qiu!” Tie Tai He replied.

“Zhou Shu Qiu?” Duan Ling Tian slightly frowned when he heard the name. He had met that woman twice. The first time he met her, they were on a street in the capital of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom. At that time, she told him about how the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect had arranged a marriage for Murong Bing, forcing him to go to that mysterious young man with the surname Pei and ask him to stop that marriage. The second time was in the Imperial palace of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom. At that time, she even expressed her intention to recruit him into the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect.

“Why are they looking for me?” Duan Ling Tian asked. He believed that Zhou Shu Qiu must have already learned that he was a prominent Celestial Alchemist and the Chief Celestial Alchemist of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect. Was it possible that she still had not given up on recruiting him?

“Sect leader didn’t say much in the Communication Celestial Talisman. He only told me to ask you if you’re willing to meet them? If you aren’t, he will reject them on your behalf,” Tie Tai He said.

“It’s fine, I’ll meet them. I’m also interested to know what they want from me,” Duan Ling Tian said. Although he could choose not to meet them, he could not help but feel curious.

There was only one place where the high-ranking officials of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect would meet their guests. The place was close to the main island where Duan Ling Tian resided. It was located on one of the prominent Celestial Islands. A sprawling and beautiful mansion could be seen on this island. The mansion was sparsely decorated and only had a huge hall. Regardless, it did not detract from its beauty.

When Duan Ling Tian and Tie Tai He entered the hall, Duan Ling Tian saw three figures instantly. One of them was Bai Ping, the Sect Leader of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, and Zhou Shu Qiu. He was not familiar with the third figure. She had an ordinary appearance and was plainly dressed. However, she had an extraordinary bearing that made her seem attractive. People would definitely take a few glances at her. Moreover, there was something about her that made people feel comfortable around her. All in all, she was pleasing to the eyes.

It was not difficult for Duan Ling Tian to guess the identity of the third figure. ‘She must be Liu Yan Jun, the other Supreme Elder of the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect…’

Prior to this, he had learned that there were two Supreme Elders in the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect. They were both Seven Stars Celestial Dukes. Rumor had it that the current sect leader was only a Six Combination Celestial Duke. This meant that word on the street was the Sect Leader of the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect was weaker than the Sect Leaders of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect and the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect who were Seven Stars Celestial Dukes.

However, with his current status, he had become privy to information that not many people knew. For example, Teng Yun Shan, the Golden Buddha, the former Sect Leader of the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect, who faked his death 3,000 years ago was now an Eight Trigrams Celestial Duke. Apart from that, he also learned that the Sect Leader of the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect whom many thought was a Six Combination Celestial Duke had broken through and became a Seven Star Celestial Duke. And her master, one of the Supreme Elders, who was also Zhou Shu Qiu’s master, had long become an Eight Trigrams Celestial Duke.
