Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Senior Duan Ling Tian!”

A group of Profound Nether Mansion disciples greeted Duan Ling Tian reverently as soon as he appeared in the Profound Nether Mansion’s base in the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm.

Duan Ling Tian nodded lightly with a smile on his face in response to the greeting before he prepared to leave the base.

“It’s unfortunate that Duan Ling Tian can’t meet with the Martial Battle Mansion’s Wan Qing Qing and join forces with her. Otherwise, both of them can wait outside the Azure Green Mansion’s base since Gongsun Wuji isn’t a match for both of them if they join forces,” a Profound Nether Mansion disciple lamented out loud before Duan Ling Tian left the mansion’s base.

“Over the past few years, Gongsun Wuji had waited three times outside our base. Nobody dared to leave the base during those three times,” another disciple chimed in.

In the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm, it was considered a public provocation to wait outside another grade-six Celestial Mansion’s base. However, it was a normal occurrence between grade-six Celestial Mansions that were enemies to begin with.

Gongsun Wuji, a core disciple from the Azure Green Mansion, was one of the six strongest Ten Directions Celestial Dukes in the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm. Whenever he discovered the location of the Profound Nether Mansion’s base, he would make a point of waiting outside the Profound Nether Mansion’s base. The Profound Nether Mansion disciples were no match for him so they could only stay in the base in fear whenever he waited outside their base.

Duan Ling Tian who was about to leave the Profound Nether Mansion’s base came to halt when he heard the conversation in his surroundings. He turned to look at the disciples who had spoken and asked, “Do you know where the Azure Green Mansion’s base is located this month?”

“Senior Duan Ling Tian, one of my friends almost died yesterday near the Azure Green Mansion’s base. Fortunately, he managed to crush his Accumulative Point Jade in time and escaped. He knows the location of the Azure Green Mansion’s base; it’s not difficult to find,” the disciple who had spoken first quickly replied, “It’s unfortunate none of us is as fast as Wan Qing Qing. Otherwise, we would be able to help you.”

Duan Ling Tian’s eyes lit up as he said, “Where’s the Azure Green Mansion’s base? Show me the way.”

“Senior Duan Ling Tian, we know you’re strong, but the Azure Green Mansion has Gongsun Wu Ji!” a disciple warned Duan Ling Tian, “Gongsun Wu Ji is as strong as the Red Leaves Mansion’s Ximen Hao Xuan.”

“That’s right! Senior Duan Ling Tian, the Azure Green Mansion is not like the Fire Glaze Mansion. The Fire Glaze Mansion’s strongest Ten Directions Celestial Duke is Tan Yuan; Gongsun Wuji is much stronger than Tan Yuan,” another disciple said.

“Gongsun Wu Ji is as strong as Ximen Hao Xuan?” A faint smile appeared on Duan Ling Tian’s face. “Don’t worry. Just tell me where’s the Azure Green Mansion’s base.”

Seeing Duan Ling Tian’s determination to find out the location of the Azure Green Mansion’s base, the disciples could only reveal the location to him.

“Thank you.” After Duan Ling Tian thanked the disciples, he vanished without a trace.

One of the disciples asked worriedly, “Do you think Senior Duan Ling Tian is going to wait outside the Azure Green Mansion’s base?”

“I don’t think so… Although Senior Duan Ling Tian is strong, I don’t think he’s as strong as Gongsun Wu Ji. It’s not wise for him to wait outside the Azure Green Mansion’s base unless he finds someone to work with,” another disciple replied.

The other Profound Nether Mansion disciples remained silent but nodded in agreement. Most of them thought Duan Ling Tian would search for someone to join forces with before heading to the Azure Green Mansion’s base.

…

As the day passed by, Duan Ling Tian’s ranking improved tremendously.

At the same time, Gongsun Wu Ji’s name appeared on the scoreboard as well.

“Gongsun Wu Ji from the Azure Green Mansion has entered the middle realm!”

Gongsun Wu Ji’s progress was even faster than Duan Ling Tian. After only a day, he had surpassed Duan Ling Tian on the scoreboard.

Naturally, Duan Ling Tian who was wandering around the middle realm was unaware of this. He would nod at the Profound Nether Mansion disciples whenever he encountered them and eliminate those from other grade-six Celestial Mansions. Up until now, he had encountered two disciples from the Azure Green Mansion. One of them was only eliminated while the other was killed. This was because the disciple who had died intended to kill Duan Ling Tian when he recognized Duan Ling Tian. Duan Ling Tian, naturally, would not let those who intended to kill him go.

…

Meanwhile, the Martial Battle Mansion’s Wan Qing Qing discovered that Duan Ling Tian had already made it into the top ten before she entered the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm.

“Duan Ling Tian… If we meet, I hope we can join forces again… However, the middle realm is so vast that it’s unlikely that we’ll run into each other…” Wan Qing Qing knew the chances were slim for her to encounter Duan Ling Tian again in the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm.

…

As time passed, more and more people from other grade-six Celestial Mansions were eliminated by Duan Ling Tian.

“The Profound Nether Mansion’s Duan Ling Tian is really strong. He nearly killed me before I could even react! If he didn’t spare me, I would’ve died!”

“I used to doubt Duan Ling Tian’s capabilities, but now I’m truly convinced!”

“Didn’t they say his capabilities are on par with the second-tier Ten Directions Celestial Dukes in the middle realm? My speed is definitely among those in the second-tier, but he’s clearly faster than me!”

“It wasn’t easy for me to make it into the top 20, but everything’s lost thanks to Duan Ling Tian!”

At this time, many people were astonished by Duan Ling Tian’s strength. They began to think that Duan Ling Tian was as strong as the six strongest Ten Directions Celestial Dukes in the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm even without joining forces with Wan Qing Qing.

…

On the sixth day Duan Ling Tian entered the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm, he was already ranked 7th with 383 points. Unexpectedly, on this day, he returned to the Profound Nether Mansion’s base.

“Senior Duan Ling Tian, congratulations on ranking 7th on the scoreboard!”

“Congratulations, Senior Duan Ling Tian!”

The disciples in the Profound Nether Mansion’s base congratulated Duan Ling Tian as soon as they saw him. Soon after, they saw him stepping into the Transporting Formation and leaving the base. After he left, they continued discussing among themselves.

“Senior Duan Ling Tian didn’t seem to join forces with anyone, and yet, he’s capable of ranking 7th. How remarkable!”

“However, he lacks experience in comparison to the six strongest Ten Directions Celestial Dukes in the middle realm. Otherwise, his rank would be higher.”

“Experience is accumulated over time. Senior Duan Ling Tian has performed exceptionally well so far.”

…

Nobody knew why Duan Ling Tian suddenly left the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm. He, naturally, caught everyone’s attention when he appeared in the Transporting Formation in one of the sites in the Profound Nether Mansion’s estate.

Duan Ling Tian remained indifferent to everyone’s curious gaze as he turned to look at the scoreboard. The corners of lips curled up into a smile as he thought to himself, ‘Ximen Hao Xuan is ranked 3rd, and Gongsun Wu Ji is ranked 2nd? It’s time to act now. Otherwise, he might return to the Azure Green Mansion’s base before I have a chance to act.”

After obtaining the information he wanted, Duan Ling Tian returned to the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm in just a blink of an eye.

The disciples at the site of the Transporting Formation did not even have a chance to greet him before he had left again.

…

A day later.

“Finally! The Azure Green Mansion’s base!” After following the directions given to him by one of the Profound Nether Mansion disciples, he finally arrived at the Azure Green Mansion’s base. He did not bother to hide and openly approached the Azure Green Mansion’s base.

At this moment, two Azure Green Mansion disciples coincidentally walked out of their base.

Buzz!

A grey sword ray shot out from a spatial tear and shot toward the two Azure Green Mansion disciples’ vital points before they could even react.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

The two Azure Green Mansion disciples’ expressions changed drastically. They could not even see the person who had attacked them! Their hearts raced in their chests when it dawned on them that they would have died if the person who had attacked them chose not to spare them

Swoosh!

Duan Ling Tian teleported and appeared in front of the two frightened Azure Green Mansion disciples.

“Return to your base or die,” Duan Ling Tian said nonchalantly as he stared at the two Azure Green Mansion disciples.

“D-duan Ling Tian?!” The two Azure Green Mansion disciples’ expressions changed again when they saw the identity token hanging from Duan Ling Tian’s waist and heard his threatening words. They no longer wasted time and scurried back into their base.

Although Duan Ling Tian did not speak loudly, his words were clearly transmitted to those in the Azure Green Mansion’s base. With these, the Azure Green Mansion disciples in the base were all aware of Duan Ling Tian’s presence outside of their base.
