Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

If Duan Ling Tian managed to obtain the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit, his cultivation base would improve by leaps and bounds. No matter how dangerous it was, for some, it was worth the risk. However, if he failed to obtain the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit, his efforts would be in vain. Most importantly, even if every single requirement was met in order to make the tree bear fruits, the success rate was only 10% at most.

If Sun Liang Peng were in Duan Ling Tian’s shoes, he definitely would not risk his bright future just for the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit. Even if that person was a reincarnated Celestial Emperor and not a Celestial Emperor currently, with his past memories, it was easy for him to manipulate a group of Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials.

“Sect leader, I’ve made up my mind,” Duan Ling Tian replied with a faint smile. Although his expression was gentle, the determination in his eyes was clear. He would not be swayed.

“Do you know the Blood Skull Gang has sent a Nine Palaces Celestial King to kill you?” Sun Liang Peng said as he looked at Duan Ling Tian solemnly, “He tried to persuade me to hand you over to him, but I, naturally, refused him. I’m afraid he’s still lying in wait for you outside the sect’s estate. Once you leave the sect’s estate, he’ll definitely make a move and kill you!”

“Sect leader, the sect must have a Transporting Formation similar to the one we used when you took me to the sect’s treasure vault, right? If I leave the sect’s estate through a Transporting Formation in the estate, the assassin won’t know that I’ve left,” Duan Ling Tian said.

“We do have a similar Transporting Formation, but it’s impossible to escape the assassin’s notice… His Divine Consciousness might not be able to detect your departure through a Transporting Formation in the sect, but I’m certain he has set Formation outside the sect’s estate that would be able to detect the use of the Transporting Formation in the sect’s estate. With his speed, it won’t be difficult for him to catch up to you,” Sun Liang Peng said as he shook his head, “The only Transporting Formation in the sect that would be undetectable by him is the one that connects to the sect’s treasure vault. However, that Transportation Formation only leads to the treasure vault… It’s impossible to leave the sect’s estate with that Transportation Formation that leads to the sect’s treasure vault.”

Upon hearing Sun Liang Peng’s words, a frown appeared on Duan Ling Tian’s face. “Is there really no other way to leave the sect without being detected by the assassin?”

Although Duan Ling Tian knew the Blood Skull Gang would send a powerful assassin to kill him, he did not expect it would be so difficult to escape from the assassin even with the help of a Transporting Formation. It suddenly dawned on him that he had underestimated the situation. Safely leaving the sect was not as easy as he thought it would be.

‘Do I really need to use the consumable Royal Grade Celestial Weapon again? If I have the strength of a One Basic Celestial Lord, coupled with the profundities I’ve mastered and the help of the Chaos Divine Flame, the Profound Divine Metal, and the Chaos Divine Earth, it might be possible for me to kill the assassin,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself as he furrowed his brows. He really did not wish to use the consumable Royal Grade Celestial Weapon unnecessarily since he only had one use left. If he used it, the consumable Royal Grade Celestial Weapon would then be rendered useless.

Duan Ling Tian was still in a dilemma when Sun Liang Peng frowned slightly with a slight hint of hesitance on his face. Sun Liang Peng’s reaction did not escape Duan Ling Tian’s notice. His eyes lit up as he asked, “Sect leader, do you, perhaps, have a way? If you do, I’ll be greatly indebted to you. Regardless if I managed to obtain the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit or not, I’ll definitely repay this favor!”

“Duan Ling Tian, I believe you. I know you’re not someone who would go back on your words. However, what if you die?” Sun Liang Peng asked as he shook his head, unconvinced.

Duan Ling Tian remained silent for a moment upon hearing Sun Liang Peng’s words. He was confident in his and Ling Jue Yun’s strength since they had secret weapons that they could not easily reveal. Alas, he could not reveal his source of confidence to Sun Liang Peng. After all, that would only attract trouble. In the end, he decided to use the consumable Royal Grade Celestial Weapon and request help from the Chaos Divine Flame, the Profound Divine Metal, and the Chaos Divine earth to join forces and kill the Nine Palaces Celestial King who was lying in wait for him.

Duan Ling Tian did not waste any time and spoke to the Chaos Divine Flame. “Senior Chaos Divine Flame, if I use the consumable Royal Grade Celestial Weapon, the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword, and the profundities that I’ve comprehended, along with help from three of you, is it possible for me to kill the Nine Palaces Celestial King?”

“Under such circumstances, it shouldn’t be a problem to kill most Nine Palaces Celestial Kings… However, there are powerful Nine Palaces Celestial Kings who have comprehended profundities from unusual laws. They’re harder to kill. It’s possible that he’ll be able to exhaust the energy from the consumable Royal Grade Weapon before he kills you. However, the Nine Palaces Celestial King assassin from the Blood Skull Gang doesn’t fall in that category,” the Chaos Divine Flame said.

Duan Ling Tian’s eyes brightened up when he heard the Chaos Divine Flame’s words.

At this moment, Sun Liang Peng suddenly said, “Duan Ling Tian, use this Celestial Talisman to leave the sect’s estate.”

Duan Ling Tian turned to look at Sun Liang Peng. He saw Sun Liang Peng passing a Celestial Talisman to him. The Celestial Talisman looked just like an ordinary Celestial Talisman. However, upon closer inspection, he saw the talisman was glowing faintly with a green light. His Divine Consciousness detected a movement ability that was somewhat similar to the Pillaging Profundity that he had comprehended.

“This is a Wind Shadow Escape Talisman. It’s a reward given to me by the Mansion Master of the Profound Nether Mansion after I successfully completed a mission for the mansion. It’s a Celestial Talisman inscribed by a Celestial Lord that contained the law of wind’s Wind Style Profundity and the Gale Profundity at the initial stage,” Sun Liang Peng said.

Duan Ling Tian could not help but inhale sharply upon hearing these words. His heart skipped a beat when he looked at the Celestial Talisman. ‘A Celestial Talisman inscribed by a Celestial Lord? Moreover, It contains the law of wind’s Wind Style Profundity and the Gale Profundity at the initial stage?’

It had to be known that King Grade Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities that contained profundities from a law could only be mastered to the rudimentary stage. In order to comprehend profundities to the initial stage, one must obtain the corresponding Royal Grade Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities. However, even apex powerhouses like a Ten Directions Celestial King could rarely comprehend profundities to the initial stage. This was because Royal Grade Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities were extremely rare and valuable. Moreover, it was not easy to comprehend a profundity to the initial stage.

Sun Liang Peng handed the Celestial Talisman over to Duan Ling Tian. When he looked at the Celestial Talisman, a hint of reluctance could be seen on his face. “With this Celestial Talisman, even a Celestial Lord won’t be able to catch up to you. The assassin is only a Nine Palaces Celestial King, it’s impossible for him to catch up to you after you use this Celestial Talisman.”

“Sect leader, I can’t possibly accept this. It’s too precious.” Duan Ling Tian could, naturally, see Sun Liang Peng’s reluctance. The Wind Shadow Escape Talisman was too valuable. Although he was tempted, he refused to accept it. He shook his head and said, “This Celestial Talisman is an extremely valuable life-saving talisman. You should keep it.”

Duan Ling Tian would have accepted the talisman from Sun Liang Peng if he truly had no way of safely leaving the Simplicity Celestial Sect’s estate. However, since he still had a way to leave unharmed, he rejected Sun Liang Peng.

“Take it… I won’t need it.” Sun Liang Peng used his Celestial Origin Energy to send the Wind Shadow Escape Talisman to Duan Ling Tian.

The Celestial Talisman hovered in the air in front of Duan Ling Tian. So long as he reached out, the talisman would be in his hand. However, he tried to refuse again. “Sect leader…”

Sun Liang Peng interjected, “I’ll just take it as me betting on you. If you return, you’ll have to return this favor in folds. I’m not asking for much, just two or three Wind Shadow Escape Talismans will do.” Based on his words, it seemed like he had already made up his mind to give the Celestial Talisman to Duan Ling Tian. After he finished speaking, a grin could be seen on his face.

Duan Ling Tian knew Sun Liang Peng was joking and did not take this matter seriously. However, he took Sun Liang Peng’s words to heart and promised himself to repay this favor. He said determinedly and confidently, “Sect leader, you won’t regret this.”

With this Duan Ling Tian accepted the Wind Shadow Escape Talisman before he bade farewell to Sun Liang Peng.
