Chapter 3220: Big Gains

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

At this time, Duan Ling Tian had been in the grade-three medicinal herb paradise for quite some time and had explored many places as well. However, he still had not seen Huan’er. Hence, he decided to send a message to her. “Huan’er, where are you?”

Huan’er responded quickly, describing her surroundings to Duan Ling Tian. “Brother Ling Tian, I’m at a place with two small hills, and there’s a stream near one of the small hills. All the herbs here have been harvested. Have you been to a place like this?”

“It sounds vaguely familiar… I’ll try and look for you now.” After responding to Huan’er, Duan Ling Tian traveled using the Teleportation Profundity.

After some time, Duan Ling Tian finally arrived at a place that was similar to Huan’er’s description.

“Brother Ling Tian!” Huan’er called out.

The duo was finally reunited.

“Huan’er, I obtained a Red River Celestial Fruit not too long ago. After leaving this place, you can consume it. At that time, you’ll definitely be able to break through and become a

Two Forms Celestial Lord in a short time,” Duan Ling Tian said with a smile. It was as though he was even happier about Huan’er consuming the Celestial Fruit than if he were to consume it himself.

“Brother Ling Tian, I’ve gathered more than a dozen Celestial Fruits that can boost one’s cultivation base,” Huan’er said excitedly.

“More than a dozen?” Duan Ling Tian was taken aback. He only managed to obtain a handful of Celestial Fruit, and yet, Huan’er managed to obtain more than a dozen of them? He asked curiously, “Huan’er, how did you manage to obtain so many Celestial Fruits?”

“I snatched a few from other people, and I found the others in places hidden by Illusory Formations. No one discovered those places,” Huan’er replied honestly.

Illusory Formations? No wonder Huan’er managed to obtain so many Celestial Fruits. It was easy for Huan’er to see through Illusory Formations, after all.

Huan’er said, “Brother Ling Tian, all the places that aren’t hidden with Illusory Formations have already been picked clean. We should look for places hidden by Illusory Formations instead.”

“Alright.”

…

Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er wandered the grade-three medicinal herb paradise and discovered a few more places that were hidden by Illusory Formations. Among these places, all of them were untouched except for one.

Duan Ling Tian learned from Huan’er that the Illusory Formations were fairly advanced. Naturally, for someone like Huan’er, no matter how advanced an Illusory Formation was, she could easily see through them.

Under Huan’er’s lead, the duo swept the areas and obtained many Celestial Fruits and herbs.

“I didn’t expect these places to have Illusory Formations…” Duan Ling Tian said. He discovered two of the places he had passed by earlier had Illusory Formations. At that time, he had searched the area and did not find anything out of the ordinary. With Huan’er’s help, the two familiar places were like a different world after the Illusory Formations were dispelled.

Just as Duan Ling Tian harvested another Celestial Fruit, a loud and majestic voice rang in the air.

“You have three hours left before this grade-three medicinal herb paradise closes.”

The voice was so majestic that Duan Ling Tian was inexplicably filled with the urge to worship it.

‘This voice… Does it belong to the Heavenly Emperor of the Jade Emperor Heaven? The famous Jade Emperor in earth’s ancient mythology?’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself as his eyes gleamed brightly. He could not help but feel excited when he thought about how the voice might belong to the Jade Emperor, a legendary figure in his past life on earth. He was born and raised on earth, after all. All his experiences in this life were just a continuation of his past life.

“Brother Ling Tian, since we have three more hours, let’s look around to see if there are other places hidden by Illusory Formations,” Huan’er suggested to Duan Ling Tian.

“Alright.” Duan Ling Tian nodded.

After an hour, the duo finally found another place that was hidden by an Illusory Formation. They only left after they had harvested all the Celestial Fruits and herbs in that place.

‘So far I’ve gathered more than twenty Celestial Fruits. In addition to the Celestial Fruits Huan’er obtained, we have almost fifty Celestial Fruits between us.’ Duan Ling Tian mentally calculated their gains.

‘We have another two hours… I wonder if we’ll be able to collect more than fifty Celestial Fruits during this time.’

If other people could hear Duan Ling Tian’s thoughts, they would certainly feel indignant.

It was considered a lot if one could obtain a few Celestial Fruits, and yet, Duan Ling Tian was thinking about collecting more than fifty Celestial Fruits.

Soon after the duo left the place hidden by an Illusory Formation, a boisterous rang in the air.

“Boy, it’s you!”

Duan Ling Tian turned around and saw the Palm Fire Zen Sect’s Elder Wang. Previously, he had snatched the Red River Celestial Fruit from Elder Wang when he was fighting with the Ganges Profound Sect’s Celestial Lord.

Although Elder Wang was a Three Talents Celestial Lord, he could not defeat the Ganges Profound Sect’s Two Forms Celestial Lord. This was because he comprehended the law of fire while his opponent comprehended the law of water, and since the world was created, water had always restricted fire.

At this moment, there was an old man standing next to Elder Wang. He asked curiously. “Elder Wang, do you know him?”

“Elder Liu, he’s the person I mentioned earlier. When I was fighting Old Qin from the Ganges Profound Sect for the Red River Celestial Fruit, he seized the opportunity and snatched the fruit from us using the law of space’s Teleportation Profundity. He even comprehended the Teleportation Profundity to the initial stage,” Elder Wang replied in a deep voice. Based on the way he addressed the old man next to him, it was obvious the old man was also an elder of the Palm Fire Zen Sect.

“It’s him?” Elder Liu’s eyes lit up immediately when he heard Elder Wang’s words. Then, he shifted his eyes to Duan Ling Tian like a predator eyeing its prey.

At this moment, Duan Ling Tian asked with a smile, “Elder Wang is it? Did you manage to find anything so far?”

Even if Duan Ling Tian was alone he was not afraid of Elder Wang and Elder Liu, let alone now that Huan’er was with him.

The Palm Fire Zen Sect was a mere grade-five sect without titled Celestial Lords. Moreover, the elders sent to the grade-three medicinal herb paradise were certainly not the most powerful in the Palm Fire Zen Sect.

Despite being a Ten Directions Celestial King, he was confident he could kill the two old men from the Palm Fire Zen Sect under three breaths if he used his Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword.

Although Duan Ling Tian still could not unleash the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword’s full potential, the sword had gained a soul after all. Therefore, it was much more powerful now. Currently, the sword’s strength had already surpassed Emperor Grade Celestial Weapons. Even extraordinary Emperor Grade Celestial Weapons were not a match for it.

Apart from that, Huang’er, the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword’s soul, could also manifest a physical body and assist Duan Ling Tian. Although she was not at the peak of her strength and she had not regained all her comprehension of the law of destruction due to his current cultivation base, she was still as strong as him. He had sparred with Huang’er once ten years ago, and their fight ended in a tie. It should be noted that at that time, he had already comprehended all the profundities from the law of space to the initial stage.

Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words, the Palm Fire Zen Sect’s Elder Wang laughed before he asked, “What? Are you going to rob us? You’re too arrogant for a mere Ten Directions Celestial King. Boy, if you know what’s best for you, you should hand the Red River Celestial Fruit over to me. Even if you escape from me with your Teleportation Profundity now, I guarantee the Palm Fire Zen Sect won’t let this matter slide even when we leave this place.” His voice turned threatening during the latter half of his words.

“Escape?” Duan Ling Tian chuckled. “Did I say anything about escaping?”

“What? Don’t tell me you’re planning to fight us?” Elder Wang said disdainfully.

Duan Ling Tian did not respond to Elder Wang. Instead, he turned to Huan’er and said, “Huan’er, you take one, and I’ll take one… Hm, just get them to hand over their Celestial Fruits.”

The two elders from the Palm Fire Zen Sect were still looking at Duan Ling Tian contemptuously when Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er made their moves. It did not take long for the duo to overpower the two elders. Even after bringing out the Royal Grade Celestial Weapons, they still felt the pressure and threat on their lives.

Meanwhile, from the beginning until the end, Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er did not use their Celestial Weapons at all.

The two elders from the Palm Fire Zen Sect were in despair when Duan Ling Tian said with a smile, “If you don’t want to die, hand over everything you’ve obtained. This lady by my side is skilled in Illusions so I advise you not to play tricks.”

At this time, the two elders who had witnessed Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er strength, naturally, did not dare to try anything even if Duan Ling Tian did not warn them. They knew they would have died if Duan Ling Tian intended to kill them.

“These are the Celestial Fruits I obtained.”

“I only managed to collect these.”

With a dismal expression on their faces, the two elders from the Palm Fire Zen Sect presented all of the Celestial Fruits they had obtained to Duan Ling Tian. Their only consolation was Duan Ling Tian did not demand the herbs they had collected. Alas, even that last bit of consolation was shattered by Duan Ling Tian’s following words.

“Hand over your herbs as well…”

After putting away the Celestial Fruits and herbs, Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er were about to leave…

At this moment, a booming voice rang from afar.

“Elders, it’s him! He’s the one who killed Elder Sun Yu.”

The voice caught the attention of Duan Ling Tian, Huan’er, and the two elders from the Palm Fire Zen Sect.

Soon after, four men appeared before their eyes. The group consisted of a middle-aged man and three old men.

Duan Ling Tian recognized one of the old men as the Ganges Profound Sect’s Elder Qin whom Elder Wang from the Palm Fire Zen Sect fought with.

“It’s you!” The Ganges Profound Sect’s Elder Qin cried out. Clearly, he had recognized Duan Ling Tian as well.

“Wang Ye, Liu Tong, stay out of this. The boy’s Red River Celestial Fruit belongs to the Ganges Profound Sect,” Elder Qin said to Wang Ye and Liu Tong, the two elders from the Palm Fire Zen Sect. He was confident since he had numbers on his side. As the saying went, ‘There’s strength in numbers’.

“You…” the Palm Fire Zen Sect’s Liu Tong said.

However, before Liu Tong could finish his sentence, Wang Ye sent him a Voice Transmission to stop him, “Don’t say anything to him. We can’t be the only ones to suffer a loss, right?”

After that, Wang Ye looked at the Ganges Profound Sect’s Elder Qin and feigned indignation as he said, “Qin He Dao, I wouldn’t have let you have the Red River Celestial Fruit if we have as many people as you do.”
