“Duan Ling Tian!” Duan Ling Tian smiled in response to the Saint Land’s patrolling elder’s question.

He had a good impression of this patrolling elder who had been patiently explaining the Fire Worship Sect’s Saint Land to him.

“Duan Ling Tian?!” However, as soon as Duan Ling Tian revealed his name, the Saint Land’s patrolling elder suddenly came to a halt. His eyes were as wide as saucers as he stared at Duan Ling Tian in shock. “Y-You’re Duan Ling Tian? That Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciple Duan Ling Tian who could transform into a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior and who’s bold enough to offend the Black Turtle Sanctum’s First Silver Flame Elder and the fifth elder of the Northern Plethora Sect as soon as he arrived at the Fire Worship Sect?”

“You’ve heard of me before, Elder?” Duan Ling Tian was surprised as well when he saw how surprised Saint Land’s patrolling elder was.

His name had even spread to the Fire Worship Sect’s Saint Land?

“Of course, I’ve heard of you!” The Saint Land’s patrolling elder nodded his head before smiling wryly. “Instead of saying you’re famous in the Four Symbols Sanctums, other than those who are in closed-door cultivation and those who’re not bothered with the affairs of the world, I think there are not many people who haven’t heard of you! I didn’t expect the Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciple who mastered the Black Turtle Sanctum’s most treasured Divine Ability, the Black Turtle’s Barrier, that I’m escorting would be Duan Ling Tian! Based on what I know, you’ve already mastered three high-grade Divine Abilities. The three Divine Abilities you mastered are of the offensive, defensive, and assist-type kind. Currently, you’ve mastered the Black Turtle Sanctum’s most treasured Divine Ability, that’s also the number one defensive Divine Ability in the Fire Worship Sect. You’ve mastered all four types of Divine Abilities! Put everything else aside, your comprehension of Divine Abilities can only be compared to Lord Sect Leader and the three Guardians in the Fire Worship Sect! Even the two Vice Sect Leaders of our Fire Worship Sect can’t compare to you in this regard!”

When the Saint Land’s patrolling elder finished speaking, there was a hint of envy and jealousy in his eyes.

Compared to Duan Ling Tian, he felt as though he had lived his life in vain.

As a Saint Land’s Bronze Flame Elder, he had only mastered one high-grade Divine Ability. It was a world of a difference compared to Duan Ling Tian.

‘It’s fortunate that he only has a yellow Innate Spiritual Root, and his cultivation base is only at the peak of the Exemplary Saint Stage. It’s still a mystery whether he can break through to the Quintessential Saint Stage or not! Otherwise, he would really anger a person to death!’ The Saint Land’s patrolling elder thought to himself.

When he recalled how Duan Ling Tian possessed a yellow Innate Spiritual Root, he instantly felt a lot better.

Although he was a Saint Land’s Bronze Flame Elder, he had a green Innate Spiritual Root. It was much better than Duan Ling Tian in this regard.

However, the Saint Land’s patrolling elder would never expect that Duan Ling Tian no longer possessed a yellow Innate Spiritual Root but a blue one instead! It was a grade higher than green Innate Spiritual Roots that were above yellow Innate Spiritual Roots.

There were not more than ten people in the Fire Worship Sect who possessed blue Spiritual Roots! Moreover, if nothing bad happened to those with blue Innate Spiritual Roots, they would at least become a Silver Flame Elder in the sect. They might even stand a chance of becoming a Golden Flame Elder.

“You flatter me, Elder. I’m merely lucky!” When Duan Ling Tian saw the jealousy and envy in the Saint Land’s patrolling elder’s eyes, he only smiled calmly.

Duan Ling Tian’s modest attitude earned the respect of the Saint Land’s patrolling elder. At the same time, he could not help but sigh inwardly. ‘Duan Ling Tian’s extremely talented at comprehending Divine Abilities, but his conduct is really good... Unfortunately, although God made him extremely talented in comprehending Divine Ability, he did not give him a monstrously high innate talent. Otherwise, he would be an extremely favored prodigy in the Fire Worship Sect!’

In the Fire Worship Sect, only those young monstrous genius disciples who possessed indigo Innate Spiritual Roots were qualified to be called prodigies!

Naturally, the title ‘prodigy’ could be used in different ways nowadays. Those who stood out in a crowd, those who possessed heaven-defying talent, and those who were strong were all prodigies as well.

In the past, when the Dao Martial Saint Land was still one, during an era, only one person was qualified to be called a prodigy in the entire Dao Martial Saint Land.

That prodigy was none other than Sword Saint Feng Qing Yang! He had taken the world by storm, baffling everyone!

After the Saint Land’s patrolling elder motioned to Duan Ling Tian, he descended first. “Let’s go! The registry for new disciples for the Saint Land is just in front.”

Duan Ling Tian, naturally, followed after him.

The registry for new Saint Land disciples was a side palace that was very inconspicuous. If Duan Ling Tian was asked to look for it himself, he might not be able to find it at all.

“Elder Xiao Zhen, aren’t you patrolling today? Why did you suddenly come here?” When Duan Ling Tian followed the Saint Land’s patrolling elder into the side palace, a voice that was full of vigor rang from inside. A middle-aged man behind the counter in the side palace greeted the Saint Land’s patrolling elder.

The middle-aged man’s clothes were identical to the Saint Land’s patrolling elder. He was also a Saint Land’s Bronze Flame Elder.

Elder Xiao Zhen?

Duan Ling Tian finally learned the name of the Saint Land’s patrolling elder who brought him all the way here.

“Elder Ding Zhong, as the saying goes, ‘No one comes to the hall of trinity without a reason!’ The reason I came this time is to bring somebody to you. Now that I’ve brought him to you, it’s time for me to go back to my patrolling duty,” Xiao Zhen, the Saint Land’s patrolling elder, replied.

After he finished speaking, he bade farewell to the middle-aged man before he looked at Duan Ling Tian with a smile and said, “I’ll take my leave first. Elder Ding Zhong will handle the rest of the matter for you.”

“Thank you, Elder Xiao Zhen.” Xiao Zhen flew away as Duan Ling Tian thanked him.

At the same time, the middle-aged man behind the counter, the Saint Land’s Bronze Flame Elder Ding Zhong, who was in charge of the registration of new Saint Land disciples studied Duan Ling Tian intently.

“A Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciple?” When Ding Zhong saw the exclusive uniform Duan Ling Tian was wearing, he raised an eyebrow before he smiled.

In his opinion, since this Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciple was brought here by their Saint Land’s patrolling elder before the Saint Land’s assessment, he must have received a recommendation from the Sanctum Leader of the Black Turtle Sanctum.

Someone like that must have a monstrously high innate talent. He must be a Martial Dao genius who possessed a blue Innate Spiritual Root or above at least.

Even if such a person had not grown into their full potential, it was more than enough for him to treat them with respect and even flatter them.

If someone like that did not die an untimely death, he would at least be a Silver Flame Elder in the future. He might even stand a chance in becoming a Golden Flame Elder.

As the saying went, ‘You can ignore me today, but you’ll be unworthy to forge a connection with me tomorrow!’

For this reason, Ding Zhong also wanted to forge a good relationship with this genius disciple who came from the Black Turtle Sanctum before he grew into his full potential.

Ding Zhong said to Duan Ling Tian politely and enthusiastically, “Little Brother, can you please pass me the recommendation letter that Sanctum Leader Wu gave you. I’ll help you register!”

The surname of the Sanctum Leader of Black Turtle Sanctum was Wu.

Duan Ling Tian knew about this as well.

Duan Ling Tian who was originally confused by Ding Zhong’s enthusiasm finally realized Ding Zhong had misunderstood him after hearing his words. He must have thought Duan Ling Tian was recommended by the Sanctum Leader of the Black Turtle Sanctum to enter the Saint Land.

Due to this reason, Ding Zhong was so enthusiastic.

“Elder Ding Zhong, I think there’s a misunderstanding. I don’t have any recommendation letter,” Duan Ling Tian replied.

“You don’t have a recommendation letter?” Duan Ling Tian’s words stunned Ding Zhong. Even the two young men standing nearby were baffled.

Ding Zhong quickly regained his senses and said, “Little Brother, please don’t joke. The fact that you manage to make your way here before the Saint Land’s assessment means you’re qualified to become a Saint Land disciple. If you’re not recommended by the Sanctum Leader Wu, don’t tell me you’ve successfully comprehended make the Black Turtle Sanctum’s most treasured Divine Ability, the Black Turtle’s Barrier?” When he finished speaking, he laughed since he thought it was absurd.

The other two young men nodded their heads as well, thinking it was it was absurd.

When Duan Ling Tian saw this, he did not say anything. He instantly cast the Divine Ability, the Black Turtle’s Barrier, in response to Ding Zhong’s words.

Swoosh!

At this moment, the Sun Saint Energy surged out of Duan Ling Tian’s body without warning, before it transformed into a gigantic silhouette of a Black Turtle that shrouded him.

When Ding Zhong and the other two saw this, their expressions froze immediately.

At this moment, thousands of wild horses seemed to be galloping across his heart.

How was this possible?!

Before the Saint Land’s assessment took place, two Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples had come here one after another in less than two weeks. Moreover, both of them had successfully comprehended the Black Turtle Sanctum’s most treasured Divine Ability, the Black Turtle’s Barrier?

Since when did the Black Turtle Sanctum’s most treasured Divine Ability, the Black Turtle’s Barrier, become so easy to comprehend?

Was it still their Fire Worship Sect’s number one defensive Divine Ability?

Ding Zhong was dumbfounded. The other two young men were dumbfounded as well.

“Elder Ding Zhong, can you help me register?” It was only until Duan Ling Tian had spoken that Ding Zhong regained his senses.

“Sure! Of course!” A smile appeared on Ding Zhong’s face again.

A person who could successfully comprehend their Fire Worship Sect’s number one defensive Divine Ability, the Black Turtle’s Barrier, was also worthy of his respect.

Such a person would definitely achieve more than him if his Martial Dao innate talent was not bad.

“What is your name, little brother?” Before Ding Zhong helped Duan Ling Tian to register, he asked a routine question.

Although it was just a routine question, the warm smile on Ding Zhong’s face put Duan Ling Tian at ease.

“Duan Ling Tian.” However, the smile on Ding Zhong’s face froze again when he heard Duan Ling Tian’s reply.
