Chapter 2951: Information About the Golden Nematode

It was just as Huang Jia Long had said. Around ten days later, Hu Lin Yi, the Emperor of the Supporting Fall Nation, sent a messenger to Duan Ling Tian. ‘Master Duan, we’ve received news about the location of the Golden Nematode.”

“Eh?” Duan Ling Tian’s eyes lit up immediately as he looked at the messenger from the Imperial Palace and asked urgently, “Where’s the Golden Nematode?”

“It’s with the Imperial family of the Solitary Nation. It’s a neighboring nation of our Supporting Fall Nation,” the messenger answered Duan Ling Tian’s question without beating around the bush, “They have two Golden Nematodes… When His Majesty learned about this, he instantly sent a Communication Celestial Talisman over and made a huge offer in exchange for the Golden Nematodes. However, His Majesty was tactfully refused.” He sighed after he finished speaking.

Duan Ling Tian’s expression changed slightly, and he could not help the disappointment that welled up in his heart. Although he had now discovered the location of the Golden Nematodes, he had no way of obtaining them. However, his eyes brightened again and a small ray of hope appeared in his heart when he heard the messenger’s next words.

“There’s a reason the Emperor of the Solitary Nation declined His Majesty’s offer. A few days ago, two emperors from nearby nations had sent Communication Celestial Talismans to the Emperor of the Solitary Nation, expressing their wishes to buy the two Golden Nematodes. The Emperor of the Solitary Nation wanted to sell a Golden Nematode each to the two emperors, but the two emperors declined and insisted on purchasing the two Golden Nematodes instead. Unwilling to offend either party, the Emperor of the Solitary Nation decided to hold an Imperial Auction in two months and put the two Golden Nematodes up for auction. Naturally, the two emperors would be sending their people to the auction at that time,” the messenger said in one breath. After a brief pause, he continued to say, “Therefore, His Majesty has decided to send City Governor Huang of Passage City to participate in the auction and bid for the two Golden Nematodes in two months.”

“The Solitary Nation? The Imperial Auction?” Duan Ling Tian’s eyes glinted in the light as he muttered under his breath, “I wonder if the two emperors also want the Golden Nematodes to refine the Profound Golden Pill?”

Although Duan Ling Tian’s voice was low, the messenger overheard his words. “You’re right, Master Duan. Rumor has it that the Seventh Prince of the Moran Nation, the Emperor of the Moran Nation’s favorite prince, has mastered all kinds of Duke Grade Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities and is only a Heaven Stage Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial. If they could refine the Profound Golden Pill for the seventh prince, and he takes it before entering the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm, he’ll definitely stand out and do well, making it more likely for the Three Sects and Two Clans to notice him.” Then, he continued to say, “As for the Emperor of the East Ming Nation, it’s said that he’s trying to obtain the Profound Golden Pill for a talented sectless cultivator. This sectless cultivator is only a Heaven Stage Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial. However, since he had mastered the power of the law, he managed to defeat all of the peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials in the East Ming Nation! With his talent, the Emperor of the East Ming Nation, naturally, wants to give this talented sectless cultivator the Profound Golden Pill. Even if this genius forgets about the East Ming Nation after entering one of the Three Sects and Two Clans, the sect or clan that the sectlesss cultivator joined definitely would not be stingy in their rewards to the East Ming Nation since the emperor was the one who found such a genius. After all, there’s no doubt that the sectless cultivator would be regarded as a genius by the Three Sects and Two Clans.”

Speaking to this point, the messenger looked at Duan Ling Tian meaningfully before he said, “In fact, that genius sectless cultivator’s situation is somewhat similar to you, Master Duan. Although both of you are Heaven Stage Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial, both of you managed to defeat peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials! Similar to how you’re now widely acknowledged as the strongest Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial, he’s also widely acknowledged as the strongest Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial in the East Ming Nation.”

Duan Ling Tian’s eyes widened imperceptibly when he heard the messenger’s words. “Heaven Stage Overarching Heaven Supreme Celestial? The power of the law?” He knew this meant that the Heaven Stage Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial had mastered Royal Grade Celestial Method or Divine Ability and subsequently, allowed him to comprehend the power of the law. This was how the sectless cultivator could defeat peak Overarching Heaven Supreme Celestials in the East Ming Nation even though he was only a Heaven Stage Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial.

Duan Ling Tian and Liu Guang Lin instinctively exchanged a look; they saw the shock in each other’s eyes.

The real reason Duan Ling Tian had easily defeated Huang Jia Long was due to the remaining effect of the consumable Royal Grade Celestial Weapon. Without the boost from the consumable Royal Grade Celestial Weapon, he knew he would not be Huang Jia Long’s opponent even if he fought with all his might. Although he owned Royal Grade Celestial Weapons and had sufficient mastery over his Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities, the difference between the cultivation bases was too big of a chasm to cross.

Then, the messenger dropped an even bigger bombshell, further shocking Duan Ling Tian and Liu Guang Lin. “Moreover, that sectless genius is also younger than 100 years old!”

The sectless cultivator was not even 100 years old, but he was a Heaven Stage Overarching Heaven Supreme Celestial who had comprehended the power of the law! What kind of monster was the sectless cultivator?

“Rumors are going around in the East Ming Nation that the sectless cultivator is the reincarnation of some peerless powerhouse. Naturally, there’s no evidence of this.” After the messenger finished speaking, he bade Duan Ling Tian and Liu Guang Lin farewell before turning to leave. However, he halted in his tracks and turned around when he was at the courtyard’s entrance as though he had just recalled something. “Master Duan, His Majesty has also said that if you’re interested, you can join City Governor Huang and participate in the auction. All you have to do is notify City Governor Huang beforehand.” As soon as he finished speaking, he took his leave.

Duan Ling Tian whose mind was on the East Ming Nation’s genius sectless cultivator did not seem to notice the messenger’s departure. Such a genius, if he was not the reincarnation of some peerless powerhouse, then, he must have been incredibly lucky! Otherwise, it was impossible to have such achievements at such a young age.

Duan Ling Tian asked, “Guang Lin, what do you think about the sectless cultivator?”

“My lord,” Liu Guang Lin replied solemnly, “For that sectless genius to be able to comprehend the power of the law despite being less than 100 years old, he has to be the reincarnation of a peerless powerhouse or ridiculously lucky. Although after reincarnating, one would have to recultivate one’s cultivation base, due to the memories from one’s past life regarding various things such as Celestial Methods, Divine Abilities, and the power of law, it would be easy for them to get stronger.”

Liu Guang Lin continued to say, “Although Devata Realms have people who reincarnated, they’re still rather rare. Celestials have to take a big risk when reincarnating. After all, nine out of ten cases resulted in deaths. Therefore, not many are willing to take the chance and reincarnate. Therefore, I’m more inclined to say the sectless cultivators had progressed to this stage due to some ridiculously fortuitous encounters..”

Duan Ling Tian faintly nodded. He shared the same thought as Liu Guang Lin. He wondered out loud, “I wonder if I’ll be able to comprehend the power of the law if I manage to obtain Royal Grade Celestial Methods or Divine Abilities…”

“As long as you obtain a fire-attribute Royal Grade Celestial Method or Divine Ability, you’ll be able to easily comprehend and master the fire-type law with the help of the Chaos Divine Flame?” A familiar voice that seemed to come from inside his body rang in Duan Ling Tian’s mind. It had been a long time since he had last heard this voice.

“Profound Divine Metal?” Duan Ling Tian’s eyes lit up.

A hint of eagerness could be heard as the Profound Heaven Metal that had been concealing Duan Ling Tian’s soul said, “Kid, the Chao Divine Flame told me you obtained a first-form Profound Divine Metal, is that right? Hurry up! Take it out so I can have a look!”

Based on the Profound Divine Metal’s words, it was clear the Chaos Divine Flame had spoken to it before it fell into a deep slumber.

Hearing Profound Divine Metal the excitement and urgency in the Profound Divine Metal’s words, Duan Ling Tian took a stone out from his Spatial Ring. As soon as he brought the stone out, he could clearly sense and see a golden energy radiating from his soul’s left before it shrouded his hand. To be more precise, it shrouded the stone in his hand, causing it to vibrate.

“Hey! Your consciousness hasn’t even developed yet, and you’re thinking of resisting? Little guy, just become a part of my body!” The Profound Divine Metal’s voice rang again. He could clearly feel the stone in his hand melting and becoming part of the golden energy. With this, he knew the Profound Divine Metal had already been absorbed and merged with the second-form Profound Divine Metal.

“My lord, this…” Liu Guang Lin who was standing next to Duan Ling Tian, naturally, had witnessed everything. When he regained his senses, a hint of fear, shock, and disbelief could be seen in his eyes.

Standing beside Duan Ling Tian, Liu Guang Lin had vividly watched the entire scene play out just now. He remained stunned for a long time before finally staring at Duan Ling Tian’s face with horror in his eyes and disbelief on his face.
