Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Duan Ling Tian was not the only one who felt a sense of kinship with Sun Chao; Sun Chao felt the same way as well. Before meeting Duan Ling Tian, Sun Chao had assumed Duan Ling Tian must be arrogant due to how highly-talented he was at such a young age. With Duan Ling Tian’s talent, no one would think much of it even if Duan Ling Tian were arrogant. However, contrary to his expectations, after conversing with Duan Ling Tian, he found he had been wrong in his assumptions about Duan Ling Tian. The outstanding prominent Celestial Alchemist who was not even 100 years old was not only humble, but he was also kind and easy to get along with. It seemed like this young and talented prominent Celestial Alchemist possessed a maturity beyond his age as well. All these things contributed to him getting along with Duan Ling Tian.

Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s invitation, Sun Chao’s curiosity was piqued. He asked, “What are you talking about?”

Duan Ling Tian did not keep Sun Chao guessing. He directly said, “I’m going to find the supreme Celestial Alchemist from the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect and compete with him in alchemy… I’ll use my offensive-defensive-movement Duke Grade Celestial Method Technique to gamble for the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect’s triple-trait Duke Grade Divine Ability.”

“What?!” Sun Chao was so shocked by Duan Ling Tian’s words that colors drained from his face. He said with a wry smile on his face, “Master Duan, a supreme supreme Celestial Alchemist is one who has obtained a Duke Grade Celestial Fire and can refine Duke Grade Celestial Pills… Prominent Celestial Alchemists like us aren’t their opponents. Perhaps, some prominent Celestial Alchemists might be more knowledgeable than supreme Celestial Alchemists, but in terms of practice, a prominent Celestial Alchemist can’t defeat a supreme Celestial Alchemist!” Out of misguided kindness, he tried to dissuade Duan Ling Tian from betting with the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect’s supreme Celestial Alchemist. It was only natural that he assumed Duan Ling Tian who was a prominent Celestial Alchemist and younger than 100 years old was no match for the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect’s supreme Celestial Alchemist!

“Thank you for your reminder… However, I still plan to compete with the supreme Celestial Alchemist from the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect.” Duan Ling Tian thanked Sun Chao for his kind intentions, but he was determined to stick to his plan. Then, he said, “Master Sun, if you’re interested, come and watch the competition.”

“Master Duan,” Sun Chao remained motionless as he looked at Duan Ling Tian and sincerely said, “Master Duan, you can obtain a triple-trait Duke Grade Divine Ability in another way. After you fully comprehend the triple-trait Duke Grade Celestial Method that you won from the Blissful Sect, you can inscribe it on a Memory Celestial Talisman and bring it to our Blazing Sun Celestial Sect. At that time, I’ll persuade my sect leader to exchange our sect’s triple-trait Duke Grade Divine Ability for your triple-trait Duke Grade Celestial Method.” He had come up with this idea to stop Duan Ling Tian from competing with the supreme Celestial Alchemist of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect.

“Master Sun, I appreciate your kindness… However, I can’t wait that long.” Duan Ling Tian shook his head and smiled. He was grateful for Sun Chao’s kindness, but he knew he did not have the time for that. He no longer spoke and made his way to the party from the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect.

Huan’er held Duan Ling Tian’s hand and followed him closely.

“Master Duan…” Sun Chao felt helpless when he saw how determined Duan Ling Tian was. There was nothing he could do but to follow him.

Similarly, the three prominent Celestial Alchemists from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, Situ Ming, Yang Chong, and Yu Zhong Jing, followed Duan Ling Tian as well.

“Master Yang, Master Yu…” Situ Ming sent a Voice Transmission to Yang Chong and Yu Zhong Jing and disclosed Duan Ling Tian’s plan to them.

“What?!”

“Master Duan plans to compete with the supreme Celestial Alchemist from the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect?”

Yang Chong and Yu Zhong Jing’s expressions changed drastically after they heard Situ Ming’s explanation. In their opinion, Duan Ling Tian was biting off more than he could chew! How could a prominent Celestial Alchemist possibly best a supreme Celestial Alchemist?

After Zhong Jing and Yang Chong recovered from the shock, they wanted to dissuade Duan Ling Tian from carrying out his plan. Alas, they had arrived in front of the people from the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect.

Duan Ling Tian looked at Bai Wu Ji, the Sect Leader of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect, and loudly said, “Sect Leader Bai, who’s the Duke Grade Celestial Alchemy from your sect?”

Everyone from the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect shifted their eyes to Duan Ling Tian immediately.

“Master Duan?” Bai Wu Ji raised an eyebrow when heard Duan Ling Tian’s words and calmly asked, “Why are you asking?”

“I want to compete with your Profound Heaven Celestial Sect’s supreme Celestial Alchemist… I will use the Duke Grade Celestial Method I just won from the Blissful Sect as the stakes in exchange for the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect’s triple-trait Duke Grade Divine Ability,” Duan Ling Tian said without beating around the bush.

“Oh?”

Bai Wu Ji and the people from the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect exchanged confused looks. They thought they had heard Duan Ling Tian wrongly.

“Am I hallucinating? Did the Chief Celestial Alchemist of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, a prominent Celestial Alchemist, say that he wants to compete with Master He and that he’ll use the triple-trait Duke Grade Celestial Method he just won from the Blissful Sect as stakes?”

“That’s what I heard as well.”

“Are you sure?”

The people from the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect looked at Duan Ling Tian as though he was an idiot.

At this moment, an old man stepped forward from the group of people from the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect. The old man was dressed in a gray robe, and he looked quite youthful for his age. “You want to compete with me?”

The old man looked amiable. However, when he spoke to Duan Ling Tian, his turbid eyes were extremely fierce and cold!

“Master Duan, he’s He Pei Yuan, the supreme Celestial Alchemist from the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect.” Situ Ming sent a Voice Transmission to Duan Ling Tian as soon as the old man stepped forward. Then, he tried to persuade Duan Ling Tian again. “Master Duan, He Pei Yuan is a supreme Celestial Alchemist. You have almost no chance of defeating him. Why don’t we forget this?”

Similarly, Yang Chong and Yu Zhong Jing tried to persuade Duan Ling Tian to abandon his plan as well.

However, after listening to the words of the three prominent Celestial Alchemists from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, Duan Ling Tian only looked at them with the same confident look he had before he competed with Xiao Gang Yu, the Chief Celestial Alchemist of the Blissful Sect. It was as though he was trying to convey his confidence to them and put them at ease just like before. However, this time, the trio still could not help but worry despite how confident Duan Ling Tian looked. It was only natural since the opponent Duan Ling Tian had picked this time was a supreme Celestial Alchemist who was superior to prominent Celestial Alchemists!

Duan Ling Tian looked at He Pei Yuan fearlessly and bluntly said, “Let’s compete in heating speed.”

“Heating speed?” He Pei Yuan was clearly taken aback by Duan Ling Tian’s words.

At this moment, someone scoffed loudly. It was none other than Bai Wu Ji, the Sect Leader of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect. He looked at Duan Ling Tian with a complicated expression as he said, “Master Duan, if I’m not mistaken, you must’ve also hidden your heating speed previously, right? Otherwise, you wouldn’t have the courage to challenge our sect’s Master He. Although Master He is a supreme Celestial Alchemist, he takes eight or nine hours to heat a Duke Grade Celestial Pill Cauldron. Most Prominent Celestial Alchemists in the Six Southeastern Regions can heat pill cauldrons faster than him! Do you think the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect will agree to this disadvantageous bet?” A hint of disdain flashed in the depths of his eyes.

The people from the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect, including He Pei Yuan, looked at Duan Ling Tian contemptuously as they discussed among themselves. They felt that he was too naive.

“That’s right!”

“Isn’t the Chief Celestial Alchemist of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect too naive?”

“How ridiculous! Does he take us for fools?”

“This is simply too laughable!”

Due to the commotion, many people began to gather around them. When the newcomers learned about what happened, they, similarly, thought Duan Ling Tian was too naive. Did he really think the people from the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect were fools?

Sun Chao who had followed Duan Ling Tian here shook his head and said, “Master Duan, you’re too naive… The Profound Heaven Celestial Sect won’t agree to this bet.” Even his heating speed was faster than He Pei Yuan’s speed.

Duan Ling Tian ignored the looks and whispers in the surroundings and looked at Bai Wu Ji as he said, “Sect Leader Bai, instead of a Duke Grade Celestial Pill Cauldron, what if both Master He and I compete in heating prominent Celestial Pill Cauldron? Don’t tell me the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect doesn’t even dare to accept such a bet?”
