“Transportation Profundity…” As Duan Ling Tian rested, he was comprehending the law of space’s Transportation Profundity as well. At this time, he had already comprehended more than half of the Transportation Profundity. Once he had successfully comprehended the Transportation Profundity, his speed would double. His speed would be comparable to Wan Qing Qing’s. At that time, he no longer had to join forces with other Ten Directions Celestial Dukes with high speed like Wan Qing Qing when he entered the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm in the future.

Needless to say, while Duan Ling Tian was comprehending the law of space’s Transportation Profundity, he did not let his guard down. He had extended his Divine Consciousness into his surroundings.

Not long after Wan Qing Qing left, he sensed a few Divine Consciousness from the direction of the Fire Glaze Mansion’s base. He could feel the few Divine Consciousness trying to probe him, and it was not long before more Divine Consciousness joined in and probed him as well.

“That’s quite a lot of them…” Duan Ling Tian opened his eyes after he discovered the increasing Divine Consciousness that were probing him. He looked down at the Fire Glaze Mansion’s base as his eyes glinted coldly. With just a glance, he saw the base was packed with people.

‘So many of them? Well, it’s not surprising I suppose. After all, as long as they haven’t become Celestial Kings, they would be able to enter. Moreover, they know as long as they don’t step out of the base, they’d be safe…” Duan Ling Tian knew the majority of the crowd were probably not Ten Directions Celestial Dukes and had only come to watch the show.

Indeed, Duan Ling Tian was right. The Fire Glaze Mansion members were infuriated when they heard about Duan Ling Tian’s actions. Many of those who were not at the stage of a Ten Directions Celestial Duke had obtained Accumulative Point Jades so they could enter the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm to join in the fun. Most of them were just outer court disciples from the Fire Glaze Mansion. There were actually more disciples who had wanted to enter to watch the show, but the elders on duty no longer let them in since there were too many disciples who had entered the middle realm. If they continued letting people in, the Fire Glaze Mansion’s base would not be able to hold all of them. At that time, some disciples would have no choice but to leave the base due to overcrowding. Needless to say, those who stepped out of the base would only be free points for Duan Ling Tian. For all these reasons, the elders had stopped people below the stage of a Ten Directions Celestial Duke from coming in.

At this moment, the Fire Glaze Mansion disciples who had just arrived were looking at Duan Ling Tian.

“Is he Duan Ling Tian?”

“Wow! He’s quite handsome! Moreover, it’s true that he’s not even 100 years old! How did he become so powerful at such a young age? It’d be amazing if I can marry someone like that.”

Many female disciples from the Fire Glaze Mansion looked at Duan Ling Tian with bright eyes.

“I wonder where the Profound Nether Mansion found someone so young and powerful.”

Someone scoffed before saying, “I heard the Senior Brother Tan Yuan, Senior Brother Mo Ping Zhi, and the other seniors who are in the middle realm have already received word about this. They should be arriving shortly. At that time, they’d probably join forces to eliminate Duan Ling Tian!”

“Don’t you think just eliminating him is too light of a punishment?”

“Yes, but that’s all we can do for now… Duan Ling Tian achieved so much at such a young age. Even the Ten Major Clans and Top Five Sects might not have any disciple as talented as him. There’s a possibility that he has a remarkable background.”

“That’s right! We don’t know how or where the Profound Nether Mansion found him after all. Until we confirm he doesn’t have a remarkable background, we can’t openly kill him…”

“He’s a powerful Ten Directions Celestial Duke even though he hasn’t reached the age of 100… Is it even possible for someone like that to have an ordinary background?”

“Well, if he doesn’t have an extraordinary background, his luck must have been incredibly good.”

Based on the Fire Glaze Mansion disciples’ conversation, it was clear that the Fire Mansion Glaze only intended to eliminate Duan Ling Tian. They were not told to kill him because they were uncertain of his origins. If he had truly come from an extraordinary background, the Fire Glaze Mansion would only suffer if they killed him. Therefore, regardless of how angry they were, before they confirmed his origins, they did not dare to kill him, not openly at least.

“It’s a pity we can’t attack from the safety of our base…” one of the disciples said with a sigh.

The Formation in the Fire Glaze Mansion’s base not only protected the people inside the base, but it also blocked the attacks from inside and outside Although attacks from the base would not trigger a response from the Formation, the attacks still would not be able to bypass the Formation.

“Are you daydreaming? Anyway, just wait for Senior Brother Tan Yuan and Senior Brother Mo Ping Zhi to arrive and eliminate him.”

Currently, there was roughly 1,000 Fire Glaze Mansion disciples in the base. However, none of them dared to leave the base to attack Duan Ling Tian. They stayed in the base and waited for the arrival of Tan Yuan, Mo Ping Zhi, and the others. At that time, they would join forces to eliminate Duan Ling Tian, the Profound Nether Mansion outer court disciple. In their opinion, it would not be difficult for them to eliminate Duan Ling Tian since they were led by powerful disciples like Tan Yuan and Mo Ping Zhi. In fact, they thought there was a possibility Duan Ling Tian would crush his Accumulative Point Jade as soon as the number of people they had on their side.

…

Half a day later.

From different directions, many had appeared ten kilometers away from the Fire Glaze Mansion.

“Senior Brother Mo Ping Zhi!”

The three figures who had just appeared respectfully bowed to two men. To be precise, they were bowing at the younger man.

The young man who was dressed in a long and loose blue robe was slender, and his features were sharp. He was none other than Mo Ping Zhi, the second strongest Ten Direction Celestial Duke in the Fire Glaze Mansion. He was only second to Tan Yuan in the mansion. During the last year, he had ranked in the top 20 ten out of twelve times. His highest rank so far was the eleventh place. Due to his strength, friendly disposition, and righteous character, he was rather popular with the Ten Directions Celestial Dukes in the Fire Glaze Mansion. In fact, the disciples respected him more than they respected Tan Yuan. If Tan Yuan did not have his strength, nobody would have paid any attention to him at all. On the other hand, even if Mo Ping Zhi lost his strength, his peers would still respect him. He had rushed back after he received the news from two Vice Mansion Masters of the Fire Glaze Mansion. He did not expect someone would be so bold as to wait outside of their base to eliminate people. Moreover, that person was none other than Duan Ling Tian, the Profound Nether Mansion’s outer court disciple, who had recently risen to fame.

“Senior Brother Mo, how many people should we join forces with before we attack?”

“We’ll discuss that when Senior Brother Tan Yuan arrives. Our opponent is simple after all,” Mo Ping Zhi said solemnly. Although he had yet to meet Duan Ling Tian, he believed the rumors that were flying outside. He was rather certain that Duan Ling Tian had an extraordinary background. Therefore, being the cautious person he was, he did not act recklessly.

“Senior Brother Mo Ping Zhi, the message I received from my master said that we shouldn’t kill Duan Ling Tian… The others received the same message as well. With this, how are we supposed to vent our anger?” One of them said angrily.

“I received a similar message from Vice Mansion Master Xiao. They’re just being extremely cautious. Although there’s a chance he doesn’t have an extraordinary background, there’s a higher chance that he has an extraordinary background. If that’s true, the force he’s from will definitely not let the matter slide if we kill him.”

Despite the killing intent flashing in Mo Ping Zhi’s eyes, he said in a low voice, “I’m sure all of you understand why we can’t kill him for now,”

“Yes, but it feels terrible,” one of the three cultivators said with a bitter smile.

“We can’t openly kill him before we confirm his background. The only thing we can do now is to endure!”

After these five people finished speaking, they continued to circle the area about ten kilometers away from the Fire Glaze Mansion’s base. This was because they had been told by the high-ranking officials from the Fire Glaze Mansion had told them to meet and gather ten meters away. They were told to attack when their number was sufficient. Apart from that, both Tan Yuan and Mo Ping Zhi had to present before they were allowed to attack Duan Ling Tian.

Meanwhile, Mo Ping Zhi and the others were unaware that someone was hiding in the shadows and had been observing them for quite a while now. “Why’s Mo Ping Zhi circling around the Fire Glaze Mansion’s base?”
