Huang Yuan Fei said, “The 30,000 prominent Celestial Crystals that were used to obtain the pair of Golden Nematodes were given by His Majesty. He’s willing to pay for them since he hopes you’ll be able to become a peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial and perform well when you enter the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm. After all, if the Three Sects and Two Clans take a liking to you, His Majesty would be handsomely rewarded. Hence, there’s no need for you to feel guilty. As for the 10,000 prominent Celestial Crystal, we’ll just consider it as you paying me for the Profound Spirit Flower. With this, you don’t owe me anything.”

Despite Huang Yuan Fei’s words, Duan Ling Tian still felt that he owed Huang Yuan Fei. He was well aware that 100,0000 to 200,000 prominent Celestial Crystals were a huge amount to Huang Yuan Fei, let alone 500,000 prominent Celestial Crystals. Nevertheless, he eventually gave in and accepted the 500,000 prominent Celestial Crystals.

“Now that our business in the Solitary Nation has come to an end, I think it’s time for us to return,” Huang Yuan Fei looked at Duan Ling Tian and said with a smile, “Little Tian, pack your things… We’ll leave for the Supporting Fall Nation tomorrow morning!”

“Alright, Uncle Huang.” Duan Ling Tian nodded.

…

Early in the morning the next day.

Duan Ling Tian and Liu Guang Lin met up with Huang Yuan Fei, Huang Jia Long, and Old Mo to return to the Supporting Fall Nation together.

When they arrived, Old Mo was already in his true form. Similar to when they were traveling to the Solitary Nation, they got onto Old Mo’s back. The only difference was there was one less person in the group since Bai Gang had left the Solitary Nation a few days earlier.

Bai Gang did not return to the Supporting Fall Nation. Instead, he had followed Bai Zhen Yue, the Deputy Patriarch of the Flying Tiger Clan’s branch in Profound Nether Mansion, back to the clan branch.

During the journey, Duan Ling Tian did not stay idle. He continued to cultivate. Now that he had become a peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial, the next time he had a breakthrough, he would become a Celestial Duke. Apart from that, he also comprehended the Gravitational Space Profundity that was part of the law of earth contained in the King Grade Celestial Method, the Black Rock Prison. With the help from the Chaos Divine Earth, he quickly comprehended and mastered the law of earth’s Earth Elemental Profundity. He also comprehended the Gravitational Space Profundity, one of the profundities in the law of earth, very quickly with the Chaos Divine Earth’s help.

“The law of gravity applies everywhere: on earth in my past life, the mundane realms, and even the Devata Realms. Gravity grounds us, keeping our feet to the ground. The law of earth’s Gravitational Space Profundity allows me to manipulate gravity. When I cast the Gravitational Space Profundity, I’d be able to manipulate the gravity in the area of effect and move my target as I please…”

Duan Ling Tian continued comprehending the King Grade Celestial Method, the Black Rock Prison. Along with that, he comprehended the law of earth’s Earth Elemental Profundity and the Gravitational Space Profundity as well. During this time, his understanding of the Gravitational Space Profundity grew deeper. He knew gravitational space was an incredibly important and powerful profundity in the law of earth.

‘Once I master the Gravitational Space Profundity, I’ll completely master the Black Rock Prison!’ Duan Ling Tian was filled with anticipation when he thought about this.

With the King Grade Celestial Method, the Black Rock Prison, Duan Ling Tian knew that he would only be able to master the Gravitational Space Profundity to the rudimentary stage. To further improve it to the initial stage, he would need a Royal Grade Celestial Method or Divine Ability that contained the Gravitational Space Profundity. Finally, to improve it to the mastery stage, he would need to comprehend an Emperor Grade Celestial Method or Divine Ability that contained the Gravitational Space Profundity.

…

About ten days later, Duan Ling Tian and the others finally arrived at the capital of the Supporting Fall Nation.

After bidding farewell to Huang Jia Long, Huang Yuan Fei, and Old Mo, Duan Ling Tian returned to his residence in the Origin Gathering Hall with Liu Guang Lin in tow.

As soon as Duan Ling Tian shut his room door, the Profound Divine Metal’s voice rang in his mind. “Boy, bring out the main branch of the Divine Tree of Life that we obtained in the Solitary Nation.”

“Hm?” Although Duan Ling Tian did not understand the purpose of it, he obediently followed the Profound Divine Metal’s words.

After so many days, the Divine Tree of Life’s main branch was still green and filled with vitality. It showed no signs of wilting at all.

The Profound Divine Metal continued to say, “Now, drip your blood on it.”

Just as Duan Ling Tian was about to prick his finger, the Chaos Divine Flame’s voice rang in his mind. “Although he has 99 Heavenly Veins and is extremely talented, he’s not a Celestial Duke yet nor has he created a Little World of his own. Would the Divine Tree of Life even acknowledge him?”

Upon hearing the Chaos Divine Flame’s words, Duan Ling Tian finally understood the Profound Divine Metal’s intention. It seemed like the Profound Divine Metal wanted him to establish ownership over the Divine Tree of Life.

“He’s now a peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial. If he’s able to establish ownership over the Divine Tree of Life now, it would be extremely beneficial for him. He would benefit from the powerful life force in the Divine Tree of Life, which will in turn help him to comprehend the law of life. You’re right. The Divine Tree of Life would not acknowledge him since he’s not a Celestial Duke yet and has yet to create his own Little World. However, that’s only if he doesn’t have our help… If we help him, we’ll be able to fool the Divine Tree of Life into acknowledging him and merging with him. Although it’d be exhausting for us, in the end, it would be beneficial to us. If we succeed, his speed of absorbing the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy and purification speed would increase. With that, his cultivation speed would increase as well.”

The Chaos Divine Flame fell silent for a moment, mulling over the Profound Divine Metal’s words, before it said, “You’re right… It’s to our benefit that he grows strong as soon as possible… Since that’s the case, like you said, we should work together to help him establish ownership over the Divine Tree of Life. We’ll have to leave the Chaos Divine Earth out of this since it’s helping Duan Ling Tian comprehend the law of earth…”

“That’s what I thought as well. I didn’t plan to include the Chaos Divine Earth regarding this matter…” the Profound Divine Metal said. Then, it said to Duan Ling Tian again, “Boy, quit wasting time. Hurry up and drip your blood on the main branch of the Divine Tree of Life!”

Although Duan Ling Tian was not sure what to make of the two elements’ conversation, he knew they had good intentions. Therefore, he did not hesitate when he heard the Profound Divine Metal’s words and immediately pricked his finger before dripping a drop of blood on the main branch of the Divine Tree of Life.

At the moment when Duan Ling Tian’s blood was about to land on the main branch of the Divine Tree of Life, the branch suddenly emitted rings of emerald light and prevented Duan Ling Tian’s blood from touching it.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

At the same time, two familiar surges of energies, one golden and one grey, entwined before they shot into Duan Ling Tian’s blood. The two energies’ vast power seemed to be suppressed after entering the drop of blood. This was normal since the drop of blood could not contain the two energies’ full power.

After the two energies fused with the drop of blood, it seemed as though the drop of blood had become a thousand times heavier. Soon after, a soft noise rang in the air as the drop of blood pierced through the first ring of the emerald light.

It did not take long before the drop of blood pierced through the second ring of the emerald light.

This process repeated itself several times until the drop of blood breached the last ring of emerald light before finally dripping on the main branch of the Tree of Life. The main branch of the Divine Tree of Life absorbed the drop of blood, and with that, Duan Ling Tian’s blood became part of the branch.

As soon as Duan Ling Tian’s blood was absorbed by the main branch of the Divine Tree of Life, he could sense his connection with the branch. Through the connection, he could sense the powerful life force contained in the branch. The life force was vast and powerful, brimming with vitality. He had never felt such vitality before.

Swoosh!

Duan Ling Tian was still in a daze, savoring the feeling of the life force, when the main branch of the Divine Tree of Life dissolved into a streak of light and shot into Duan Ling Tian’s body.

After he regained his senses, he looked inside his body with his internal vision. Heavens! He felt as though he was going to have a heart attack. He was almost frightened to death when he saw what the main branch of the Divine Tree of Life had attached itself to in his body. It had attached itself to his heart tightly like the roots of an old tree!

At this moment, Duan Ling Tian felt a surge of life force pouring into his heart before it circulated through his body. In the next moment, a vast and majestic force surged out of his body for a moment before they finally disappeared back into his body.
