Upon sensing Feng Qing Yang’s killing intent, one of the elders in the Heavenly Emperor Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven said, “Your Majesty, we’ll definitely keep this to ourselves!”

The others followed the elder’s lead and bowed before they swore to keep the matter a secret.

All of them felt chills running up their spines when they recalled the earlier scenes. Their Heavenly Emperor’s doppelganger alone was more than enough to kill Chen Qiu Bo, the Inverse Center Celestial Emperor, who was a Ten Directions Celestial Emperor. It should be noted that Chen Qiu Bo was one of the strongest Ten Directions Celestial Emperors in the Solitary Destructive Heaven. Apart from that, they were also slightly confused. Was the law of destruction not the law that Feng Qing Yan was most skilled in? Why did Feng Qing Yang use the law of earth to create a doppelganger instead?

…

It did not take long before word of Feng Qing Yang’s return and the battle above the Heavenly Emperor Palace in the Solitary Destructive Heaven spread out.

Feng Qing Yang, the former Heavenly Emperor of the Solitary Destructive Heaven, the Flaming Heaven Celestial Emperor, had returned from the Asura Hell, one of the seven deadliest places in Devata Realms. He had killed the Inverse Center Celestial Emperor, Chen Qiu Bo, and reclaimed the position of Heavenly Emperor of the Solitary Destructive Realm!

This news, naturally, caused a huge uproar among the Celestial Lords and Celestial Emperors in the Solitary Destructive Heaven!

“Heavenly Emperor Feng Qing Yang’s strength has improved significantly after his mighty return from the Asura Hell. It seems like being forced into the Asura Hell was a blessing in disguise. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be easy for him to kill Chen Qiu Bo!”

“That’s right. The old Chen Qiu Bo might be weaker than Heavenly Emperor Feng Qing Yang, but over the years, his strength had grown comparable to Heavenly Emperor Feng Qing Yang’s strength in the past. Even with such significant improvement in his strength, he was still killed by Heavenly Emperor Feng Qing Yang. Although he had lost his soul artifact, one could see how strong he is…”

“With Heavenly Emperor Feng Qing Yang’s current strength, he’s probably ranked top ten among the 81 Heavenly Emperors of the Devata Realms!”

Many people were of the opinion that Feng Qing Yang’s strength was now enough for him to rank in the top ten among all the Heavenly Emperors. In the past, Feng Qing Yang was only ranked 18th on the list. Moreover, that was mostly attributed to the Devata Artifact he possessed. Without it, he would have ranked further back.

The Devata Artifact Feng Qing Yang possessed was famously known as being the best divine sword in the Devata Realms. Back then, he had only managed to defeat the former Heavenly Emperor of the Solitary Destructive Heaven all thanks to the Solitary Destructive Flaming Heavenly Sword.

Feng Qing Yang did not obtain his title from the Title Temple. According to the Title Temple’s rule, there was another way to obtain a title. When one defeated or killed a Heavenly Emperor of a Devata Realm, the Title Temple would bestow one with a title. That was how Feng Qing Yang obtained his title.

Feng Qing Yang’s title, the Flaming Heaven Celestial Emperor, was derived from his Devata Artifact, the Solitary Destructive Flaming Heavenly Sword.

Since the people in the Solitary Destructive Heaven were unaware that Feng Qing Yang had become a god, they merely ranked him in the top ten.

Out of the 81 Heavenly Emperors, apart from Feng Qing Yan, there was only one who had become a god. He was, naturally, ranked first. The Heavenly Emperors in the second and third places were only imminent gods.

Only Feng Qing Yang alone knew why he deliberately kept his breakthrough a secret.

…

On an island in the Heavenly Emperor Palace of the Solitary Destructive Nation.

Meng Luo, the Heavenly Savage Celestial Emperor, stood like a guard outside a little wooden hut. He asked a white-clad young man sitting in front of a wooden desk, “Your Majesty, are you keeping the fact that you’ve become a god a secret because of the Title Temple?”

Feng Qing Yang, the white-clad young man, who had regained his position as the Heavenly Emperor of the Solitary Destructive Heaven, looked up and replied, “Meng Luo, somethings are better kept to yourself… There’s no need to say it out loud.”

“Yes…” Upon hearing this, Meng Luo no longer pressed for an answer. After a while, he changed the topic and asked, “Your Majesty, how did you escape the Asura Hell?”

Not only was the Asura Hell one of the seven deadliest places in the Devata Realms, but it was also one of the more deadly places among the seven deadliest places. Rumor had it that only the top three strongest Heavenly Emperors in the Devata Realms were capable of surviving the Asura Hell!

“I’m not actually out of the Asura Hell,” Feng Qing Yang calmly replied, “My physical body is still trapped there. What you’re seeing is a doppelganger I created from the law of earth. Nevertheless, I’m really lucky. Otherwise, I would’ve long died in the Asura Hell!”

Despite Feng Qing Yang’s indifference, Meng Luo could vaguely sense a hint of fear in Feng Qing Yang’s voice when Feng Qing Yang spoke about the Asura Hell. With this, Meng Luo speculated that the Asura Hell must be so dangerous that even gods could die in there. Otherwise, why would Feng Qing Yang who had already become a god still be stuck in there? He asked fearfully, “T-the Asura Hell is so terrifying?”

“It’s more terrifying than you can imagine.” Feng Qing Yang’s tone still remained indifferent, but his hands were tightly fisted, and his palms were drenched in sweat.

After a while, Meng Luo asked, “Your Majesty, where’s your law of destruction’s doppelganger?”

Feng Qing had comprehended all the profundities from the law of destruction before he finished comprehending all the profundities from the law of earth. After becoming a god, he could create a doppelganger from each law he had mastered. Since his doppelganger from the law of earth was here, where was his doppelganger from the law of destruction?

Feng Qing Yang replied, “I’ve sent him to deal with another matter.”

…

In the Spirit Overarching Heaven.

In the Southern Heaven Territory, a region under the Profound Nether Mansion’s control.

As one of the Three Sects and Two Clans, the Simplicity Celestial Sect was closely associated with the Profound Nether Mansion and owned many mediocre Celestial Crystal veins.

In the Simplicity Celestial Sect’s estate, a giant Spirit Gathering Formation was set up in the center of the mediocre Celestial Crystal veins to gather all the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy from the Celestial Crystal veins. For this reason, the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in the Simplicity Celestial Sect’s estate was much denser compared to the outside world. It was an almost perfect place for cultivation.

Naturally, the density of the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy was not equal in the Simplicity Celestial Sect. There were some places where the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy was five times denser than other places in the estate.

At this moment, under the lead of Zhang Guang Zheng, the Vice Sect Leader of the Simplicity Celestial Sect, Duan Ling Tian and the others had already entered the sect’s estate.

As they strolled around, the disciples of the Simplicity Celestial Sect would respectfully greet Zhang Guang Zheng whenever they saw him.

“Vice Sect Leader!”

“Lord Vice Sect Leader!”

Many of the disciples were also looking at Duan Ling Tian curiously. How could they not be curious about the young man who was allowed to travel so close to their vice sect leader?

His identity must not be simple since he was given such treatment.

At this moment, someone called out from afar, “Senior uncle!”

Soon after, a green-clad young man appeared before Zhang Guang Zheng and bowed at him.

Upon seeing the newcomer, Zhang Guang Zheng asked with a smile, “Hong Yi, does your master know that I’ve returned?”

“Yes.” The green-clad young man nodded. “My master asked me to invite you and Junior Brother Duan Ling Tian to see him… As for the others, I will make the necessary arrangements for them.” After that, he shifted his gaze to Duan Ling Tian who was standing next to Zhang Guang Zheng and asked, “I’m guessing this is Brother Duan Ling Tian?”

As soon as Hong Yi appeared, Duan Ling Tian had already noticed the traces of jealousy in the depths of Hong Yi’s eyes. Now that Hong Yi was staring at him, he could even see traces of hatred in his eyes. He was puzzled when he saw this. ‘Who’s he? It’s our first time meeting, but he already hates me… Jealous? Does he hate me because he’s jealous?’

Despite his thoughts, Duan Ling Tian nodded slightly in response to Hong Yi.

Zhang Guang Zheng looked at Duan Ling Tian and said with a smile, “Duan Ling Tian, he’s Zheng Hong Yi. He’s the third disciple of the current Sect Leader of the Simplicity Celestial Sect….”

After a short moment, Zhang Guang Zheng continued to say, “Let’s go and see the sect leader…” Then, he turned to Zheng Hong Yi and said, “Hong Yi, I’ll leave the others to you. Please take care of them…”

“Yes, senior uncle.” When Zheng Hong Yi shifted his eyes back to Zhang Guang Zheng, the traces of jealousy and hatred seemed to have disappeared.

Just as Duan Ling Tian was about to leave with Zhang Guang Zheng, Zheng Hong Yi’s voice rang in the air. “Brother Duan Ling Tian, you’re the first person in the history of Simplicity Celestial Sect to become a true disciple before even stepping foot into the sect.”

Duan Ling Tian could hear the resentment and unwillingness in Zheng Hong Yi’s voice when Zheng Hong Si said the words ‘true disciple’.

True disciple?!

As soon as Zheng Hong Yi finished speaking, not only the disciples of the Simplicity Celestial Sect in the surroundings were shocked, even the participants who had followed Zhang Guang Zheng here from the Scaling Cloud Lake were shocked.

“Duan Ling Tian was already given the title of a true disciple before he even set foot in the Simplicity Celestial Sect?”

“Simplicity Celestial Sect’s true disciples are given the best treatment in the sect. I heard that two of the true disciples are the sect leader’s direct disciples as well…”
