Not only was the Saint Land discipleâs residence not separated into various grades and levels, but there was a total of 3,000 little courtyards provided for the Saint Land disciples as well.
The 3,000 little courtyards were situated inside the vast valley and were arranged like terrace houses in every corner. However, due to how vast the valley was, it did not seem overcrowded even though there were 3,000 little courtyards.
Currently, there were only over 2,000 Saint Land disciples in the Fire Worship Sect. Even if all the Saint Land disciples stayed here, there would still be many vacant houses left.
âThe cultivation environment here is similar to the Primus house I stayed in back in the Punishment Zone of the Four Symbols Sanctumâs First Mine! Wait a minute! Although there are also ten Spirit Gathering Formations here, the richness of the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy here is even better than the Primus house!â After Duan Ling Tian found a house, he entered it.
âThis must be because this area is close to a quasi Celestial-grade mine..â It was not difficult for Duan Ling Tian to figure this out.
âI hope Iâll be able to comprehend the third stage of the Sovereign Heart Sword in a go this time!â After shutting the door, Duan Ling Tian took out the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda and entered the fourth level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda before immersing himself in comprehending the Supreme Sword Dao Mental Cultivation Method, the Sovereign Heart Sword.
At this moment, Duan Ling Tianâs cultivation base had reached a bottleneck. It was impossible for him to break through to the Early Quintessential Saint Stage for the time being. Moreover, he had mastered four high-grade Divine Abilities, the only thing he lacked now is an ability that could help him during a crucial moment.
For this reason, he decided to focus on comprehending the Sovereign Heart Sword. Currently, the Sovereign Heart Sword only needed one more push before it would successfully enter the third stage.
âThe person earlier s-seems to be wearing the Black Turtle Sanctumâs disciplesâ uniform?â Duan Ling Tian did not know when he came to the Saint Land disciplesâ residence and was looking for a courtyard to stay in, he had attracted the attention of a few Saint Land disciples.
Naturally, these Saint Land disciples were unaware of his identity.
...
After a day, shocking news spread in the Fire Worship Sectâs Saint Land. The Black Turtle Sanctumâs disciple, Duan Ling Tian, had successfully comprehended the Black Turtle Sanctumâs most treasured Divine Ability, the Black Turtleâs Barrier, and was exempted from his punishment at the Punishment Zone of the Four Symbols Sanctumsâ First Mine. He had come to the Saint Land and had officially become a Saint Land disciple!
This news raised a huge commotion in the Saint Land immediately.
âDuan Ling Tian? The Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior?â
âThat Black Turtle Sanctumâs disciple who offended the Black Turtle Sanctumâs First Silver Flame Elder Li An and Yang Chong, the fifth elder of Northern Plethora Sect the moment he arrived at the Fire Worship Sect? That rebel?â
âRumor has it that although he only possessed a yellow Innate Spiritual Root, due to the reason heâs a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior and the fact that he has comprehended three high-grade Divine Abilities, his combat ability is close to a powerhouse at the Saint Celestial Stage!â
âCurrently, he has even successfully comprehended our Fire Worship Sectâs number one defensive Divine Ability, the Black Turtleâs Barrier. Doesnât this mean his strength is comparable to the First Form of the Saint Celestial Stage?â
âImpossible! The Black Turtleâs Barrier is only a defensive Divine Ability and only grants him a defensive ability. It wouldnât grant him any extra strength at all. If anything, only his defense is comparable to that of a powerhouse at the First Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. In terms of offense, heâs definitely inferior to a powerhouse at the First Form of the Saint Celestial Stage!â
âI heard that his cultivation base has already entered the peak of the Exemplary Saint Stage. Unfortunately, he only has a yellow Innate Spiritual Root. Itâs hard to say if heâll be able to break through to the Quintessential Saint Stage!â
âEven if he could, with his Martial Dao innate talent, itâll be hard for him to achieve anything great!â
The Central Square and the Saint Land discipleâs residence were filled with people discussing the same thing.
âLooks like the Black Turtle Sanctumâs disciple who resides at that little courtyard must be Duan Ling Tian!â Many Saint Land disciples shifted their gazes to the little courtyard Duan Ling Tian was staying in.
These Saint Land disciples were those who personally witnessed Duan Ling Tian coming and entering the Saint Land discipleâs residence yesterday.
One spread to ten, and ten spread to a hundred.
Soon after, most of the Saint Land disciples knew where Duan Ling Tian stayed.
âJunior Brother Ling Tian has also comprehended the Black Turtleâs Barrier?â Sun De had just come out of his house today. He was about to head to the Reward Palace in the Central Square to see what tasks he could complete to earn Contribution Points. During this time, he heard many people whispering among themselves at the Saint Land disciplesâ residence.
This was how learned that Duan Ling Tian had also come to the Saint Land and had become a Saint Land disciple as well. Moreover, Duan Ling Tianâs situation was a lot like him as well.
âI canât believe it. It hasnât even been two weeks, but Junior Brother Ling Tian and I came to the Saint Land one after another and became Saint Land disciples. Moreover, weâre able to come here because weâve both comprehended the Black Turtleâs Barrier successfully! I think, currently, the Black Turtle Sanctum must be in an uproar over this news, right?â Sun De muttered to himself.
Sun De was none other than the person whose Primus House was snatched by Duan Ling Tian in the Punishment Zone of the Four Symbols Sanctumsâ First Mine.
Due to the pressure from Duan Ling Tian, he had successfully comprehended the Black Turtle Sanctumâs most treasured Divine Ability, the Black Turtleâs Barrier, during the critical moment. For this reason, he was exempted from his punishment. As soon as he left the Four Symbols Sanctumsâ First Mine, he came to the Saint Land and became a Saint Land disciple!
...
It was just as Sun De had guessed. The Black Turtle Sanctum was in an uproar. In fact, the word âuproarâ might not even be sufficient to describe it.
Due to the news from the Four Symbols Sanctumsâ First Mine and the Fire Worship Sectâs Saint Land, the Black Turtle Sanctum was in a complete uproar!
âDuan Ling Tian has successfully comprehended the Black Turtle Sanctumâs most treasured Divine Ability, the Black Turtleâs Barrier, and was exempted from serving his sentence in the Four Symbols Sanctumsâ First Mine? He has entered the Saint Land and become a Saint Land disciple?â
âMy goodness! Is this true? It hasnât been even two weeks, and yet our Black Turtle Sanctum already has two disciples who have successfully comprehended the most treasured Divine Ability, the Black Turtleâs Barrier?â
âApart from being our Black Turtle Sanctumâs most treasured Divine Ability, the Black Turtleâs Barrier is the number one defensive Divine Ability in the Fire Worship Sect! Itâs widely acknowledged as the most difficult Divine Ability to comprehend among the Divine Abilities in all four Sanctums. However, a Divine Ability with such a high level of difficulty was comprehended by two people in just less than two weeks?â
âSenior Brother Duan Ling Tian is monstrously talented!â
âIndeed! If only he didnât have a yellow Innate Spiritual Root. Even if he only possesses a green Innate Spiritual Root, his future would be boundless. Currently, Iâm afraid itâs going to be difficult for him to further raise his strength.â
âThatâs right! The limit that his Innate Spiritual Root imposed on him is just too huge!â
âOriginally, I was wondering why would he come to the Fire Worship Sect when heâs a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior. His position would be equivalent to an Eight-clawed Divine Dragon if he goes to the dragon clan! Now that I think about it, it has to be because he only possesses a yellow Innate Spiritual Root. How can the arrogant dragon clan regard him as an Eight-clawed Divine Dragon and treat him with respect with such an Innate Spiritual Root?â
âI think so too! I think he came to our Fire Worship Sect because he was ostracized by the dragon clan and could no longer stay there!â
Everyone in the Black Turtle Sanctum was constantly discussing this. Their topic revolved around Duan Ling Tian.
News of Duan Ling Tian comprehending the Black Turtle Sanctumâs most treasured Divine Ability, the Black Turtleâs Barrier, and entering the Saint Land to become a Saint Land disciple had also spread to the Four Symbols Sanctums!
It also caused a great commotion in the Four Symbols Sanctums!
Bang!
A loud bang resonated inside a vast mansion at the east of the Black Turtle Sanctum. An old man shattered a stone table that was just recently bought into dust again.
This old man was none other than the Black Turtle Sanctumâs First Silver Flame Elder Li An!
âHowâs this possible?! H-He has actually comprehended the Black Turtleâs Barrier and left the Four Symbols Sanctumâs First Mine to enter the Saint Land!â As Li An muttered to himself. He had a sullen expression on his face.
It did not occur to him that Duan Ling Tian whom he wished to kill would successfully comprehend their Black Turtle Sanctumâs most treasured Divine Ability, the Black Turtleâs Barrier, just like Sun De.
Not only that, but he had also entered the Saint Land and became a Saint Land disciple!
When he received this news, he felt a sense of crisis.
In the eyes of the Black Turtle Sanctumâs disciples, Duan Ling Tian only possessed a yellow Innate Spiritual Root. Although he was a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior and had mastered four different types of high-grade Divine Abilities, his achievements in the future were limited.
However, he knew that Duan Ling Tian possessed a blue Innate Spiritual Root, not a yellow one.
He found out about this through the hard way. Wei He, his Great Direct Disciple, was sentenced to death by the Saint Land Enforcement Hall because of this!
After a long while, Li An lifted his face that had a grave expression on as his cold eyes looked in the direction of the Fire Worship Sectâs Saint Land. He muttered to himself, âItâs not a bad thing that he went to the Saint Land. In that case, Yang Wen and my two other direct disciples can make a move against him!â
Yang Wen whom Li An mentioned was the elder biological brother of Yang Wu whom Duan Ling Tian killed when he first arrived at the Fire Worship Sectâs Black Turtle Sanctum. Yang Wen was also the eldest son of Yang Chong, the fifth elder of the Northern Plethora Sect.
Yang Wen entered the Saint Land many years ago to become a Saint Land disciple.
Right now, his cultivation base had even entered the First Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. For this reason, he had become a true disciple.
After learning that his younger brother was killed, Yang Wu was furious. He could not wait to go to the Black Turtle Sanctum to kill Duan Ling Tian!
Although he was afraid of the Fire Worship Sectâs rule and could not kill Duan Ling Tian, he wanted to torture Duan Ling Tian and teach him a lesson!
However, the Fire Worship Sect had a rule stating that Saint Land disciples were not allowed to enter the Four Symbols Sanctums privately without permission from a Golden Flame Elder.
Otherwise, they would be regarded as violating the sectâs rule and would be severely punished!
âCurrently, Yang Wen must have learned about the Duan Ling Tian arriving at the Saint Land, right?â Li Anâs eyes brightened.
