Chapter 2857: The Arhat of the Blissful Sect

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

As they followed He Shan, the Old Ancestor of Tai Yi Celestial Sect, Duan Ling Tian could hear the discussions in his surroundings, but he paid them no heed. He believed the Chaos Divine Flame would not deceive him!

‘The contents of the box are equivalent to three life-saving Talismans… You must acquire the box.’ These were the words of the Chaos Divine Flame.

Duan Ling Tian speculated that the Chaos Divine Flame was aware that they were in a place where Celestial Dukes and other strong powerhouses were abundant. The contents of the box would probably help him if he were to run into trouble with any Celestial Dukes.

‘According to the Chaos Divine Flame, the box’s content can only be seen by Celestial Lords or those who are stronger. If that’s the case, the contents must pose a threat to Celestial Kings as well!’ Duan Ling Tian’s eyes gleamed as he looked at the old quaint box again. He was eager to see the mysterious contents in the box.

“Senior He Shan.” A familiar voice rang out and pulled Duan Ling Tian back to his senses. When he looked up, he discovered, under the lead of He Shan, they had already arrived in front of a group of people.

The leader of the other group was a tall and muscular middle-aged man with a sloppy appearance. He had a face full of beard. Contrary to his appearance, his robe was spotlessly clean. His bearing and aura indicated that he had a high status. This man was none other than Chai Kong Yu, the Sect Leader of the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect!

Duan Ling Tian recognized Chai Kong Yu immediately. After all, including this time, this was their third meeting. The first time they had met was outside the entrance of the Little World, the second time was when he had exited the Little World, and today was their third meeting.

“Sect Leader Chai, it’s been a long time since we last met,” He Shan said with a smile, “I didn’t expect you to personally lead the people of your sect here. I had assumed Teng Yun Shan would lead the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect’s party to attend the Alchemy Conference since he had come out of his closed-door cultivation.”

Teng Yun Shan was an Eight Trigrams Celestial Duke from the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect. He was also known as the Golden Buddha. He was also the father of Teng Qing, an elder of the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect who had a conflict with Duan Ling Tian in the past. Teng Qing was eventually killed by Tie Tai He, the Supreme Elder of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect. Due to Teng Qing’s death, Teng Yun Shan came out of his closed-door cultivation. He had visited the Tai Yi Celestial Sect’s estate previously, and Duan Ling Tian had detected Teng Yun Shan’s hostility, but he had no idea why Teng Yun Shan was hostile toward him.

“The Old Ancestor has entered closed-door cultivation again, that’s why I led the group here. I didn’t expect Senior He Shan to personally lead the group from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect as well. I had expected Sect Leader Bai Ping to come instead,” Chai Kong Yu replied with a smile. Then, he turned to look at Duan Ling Tian. He smiled and greeted Duan Ling Tian as though they were old friends. “Master Duan, we meet again.”

“Sect Leader Chai,” Duan Ling Tian nodded slightly out of courtesy in response.

“Previously, I had wondered why Master Situ and the others had willingly acknowledged you as the Chief Celestial Alchemist of Tai Yi Celestial Sect… It’s no wonder since you’re not even 100 years old, but you’re a prominent Celestial Alchemist capable of refining the prominent Celestial Pill, the Overarching Heaven Pill,” Chai Kong Yu said with a sigh, “I’m so envious of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect that they have you as an interim Revered Elder!”

“Sect Leader Chai, you’re flattering me,” Duan Ling Tian replied modestly.

“Master Duan, you’re being too modest… Even the two Revered Elders from our sect want to meet you.” Chai Kong Yu began to introduce the two men standing behind him to Duan Ling Tian.

They were both Revered Elders and prominent Celestial Alchemists of the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect. However, they did not dare to put on airs in front of Duan Ling Tian. After all, Duan Ling Tian had not even reached the age of 100, but he was a prominent Celestial Alchemist capable of refining the prominent Celestial Pill, the Overarching Heaven Pill!

The two prominent Celestial Alchemists from the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect were in the midst of getting acquainted with Duan Ling Tian when a woman’s voice rang in the air. “Greetings, Senior He Shan, Sect Leader Chai.”

The woman’s voice sounded rather familiar to Duan Ling Tian so he instinctively turned around to look. He saw a green-clad lady leading a group of people over. The green-clad lady was none other than Jian Qiu Luo, the Sect Leader of the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect. It did not take long for him to discover that Zhou Shu Qiu was among the party of people from the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect.

As soon as Zhou Shu Qiu arrived, she sent a Voice Transmission to Duan Ling Tian. “Duan Ling Tian, Lyu Luo told me she had met you and told you that Bing’er is also in Alchemy City. Why didn’t you look for Bing’er?”

Before Duan Ling Tian proved his capability of refining the Overarching Heaven Pills, Zhou Shu Qiu knew it would not be wise for him to look for Murong Bing since the Sect Leader of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect would kill him for taking away Murong Bing’s virginity. However, with Duan Ling Tian’s status and skills now, he was more than capable of negotiating with the Sect Leader of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect to see Murong Bing. In fact, if Duan Ling Tian was willing to join the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect, the sect might even be willing to allow a marriage between him and Murong Bing.

“This is my business, and I have my own plans. I wouldn’t be bothered with it if I were you, third miss of the Zhou clan,” Duan Ling Tian responded indifferently through Voice Transmission and no longer paid any attention to her.

Zhou Shu Qiu was left stewing over this matter on her own.

“Master Duan!” Jian Qiu Luo greeted Duan Ling Tian warmly and courteously.

Similar to Chai Kong Yu, their sudden change in attitude was due to their discovery that Duan Ling Tian was a prominent Celestial Alchemist capable of refining the Overarching Heaven Pill even though he had not even reached the age of 100. His future would be limitless if he managed to obtain a supreme Celestial Fire in the future. Who would not seize the opportunity to befriend such a person?

“Sect Leader Jian,” Duan Ling Tian greeted Jian Qiu Luo with a smile.

Then, Jian Qiu Luo began to introduce the three prominent Celestial Alchemists from the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect to Duan Ling Tian. Just like the prominent Celestial Alchemists from the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect, the three of them were modest in front of Duan Ling Tian and were humbled by his skills.

Duan Ling Tian was surprised to see an old lady who seemed to be in her seventies among the three prominent Celestial Alchemists from the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect.

While Duan Ling Tian was busy chatting with the three prominent Celestial Alchemists from the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect, a condescending voice rang from behind him. “So, you’re Duan Ling Tian? The Chief Celestial Alchemist of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect in the Wasteland?”

Duan Ling Tian was not familiar with the voice, therefore, he deduced the speaker was a stranger. Based on the stranger’s tone, he was clearly arrogant and thought he was above everyone else. After a beat, he decided to ignore the stranger and continued his conversation with the three prominent Celestial Alchemists from the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect. Alas, their conversation was disrupted. The three prominent Celestial Alchemists were clearly distracted, their eyes contained a hint of fear as they stared at the stranger standing behind Duan Ling Tian.

One of the prominent Celestial Alchemists from the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect kindly reminded Duan Ling Tian through Voice Transmission. “Master Duan, this is the Arhat of Blissful Sect.”

“Arhat? What’s an Arhat?” Duan Ling Tian asked through Voice Transmission.

Duan Ling Tian was no stranger to the Blissful Sect, The first Little World he had entered was left behind by a Celestial King from the Blissful Sect. However, this was his first time hearing about an Arhat.

“Arhat is a title given by the Blissful Sect to a person they had chosen to be their next sect leader,” the prominent Celestial Alchemist from the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect explained via Voice Transmission.

Seeing the atmosphere had turned heavy when Duan Ling Tian ignored the Arhat of the Blissful Sect, He Shan quickly said to dispel the tension, “You’re the Arhat of the Blissful Sect… I wonder why you’re looking for Master Duan?”
