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 Huanâer. Hence, he decided to send a message to her. âHuanâer, where are you?â
Huanâer responded quickly, describing her surroundings to Duan Ling Tian. âBrother Ling Tian, Iâm at a place with two small hills, and thereâs a stream near one of the small hills. All the herbs here have been harvested. Have you been to a place like this?â
âIt sounds vaguely familiar⊠Iâll try and look for you now.â After responding to Huanâer, Duan Ling Tian traveled using the Teleportation Profundity.
After some time, Duan Ling Tian finally arrived at a place that was similar to Huanâerâs description.
âBrother Ling Tian!â Huanâer called out.
The duo was finally reunited.
âHuanâer, I obtained a Red River Celestial Fruit not too long ago. After leaving this place, you can consume it. At that time, youâll definitely be able to break through and become a
Two Forms Celestial Lord in a short time,â Duan Ling Tian said with a smile. It was as though he was even happier about Huanâer consuming the Celestial Fruit than if he were to consume it himself.
âBrother Ling Tian, Iâve gathered more than a dozen Celestial Fruits that can boost oneâs cultivation base,â Huanâer said excitedly.
âMore than a dozen?â Duan Ling Tian was taken aback. He only managed to obtain a handful of Celestial Fruit, and yet, Huanâer managed to obtain more than a dozen of them? He asked curiously, âHuanâer, how did you manage to obtain so many Celestial Fruits?â
âI snatched a few from other people, and I found the others in places hidden by Illusory Formations. No one discovered those places,â Huanâer replied honestly.
Illusory Formations? No wonder Huanâer managed to obtain so many Celestial Fruits. It was easy for Huanâer to see through Illusory Formations, after all.
Huanâer said, âBrother Ling Tian, all the places that arenât hidden with Illusory Formations have already been picked clean. We should look for places hidden by Illusory Formations instead.â
âAlright.â
âŠ
Duan Ling Tian and Huanâer 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 Huanâer that the Illusory Formations were fairly advanced. Naturally, for someone like Huanâer, no matter how advanced an Illusory Formation was, she could easily see through them.
Under Huanâerâs lead, the duo swept the areas and obtained many Celestial Fruits and herbs.
âI didnât expect these places to have Illusory FormationsâŠâ 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 Huanâerâs 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.
âYou have three hours left before this grade-three medicinal herb paradise closes.â
The voice was so majestic that Duan Ling Tian was inexplicably filled with the urge to worship it.
âThis voice⊠Does it belong to the Heavenly Emperor of the Jade Emperor Heaven? The famous Jade Emperor in earthâs ancient mythology?â 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.
âBrother Ling Tian, since we have three more hours, letâs look around to see if there are other places hidden by Illusory Formations,â Huanâer suggested to Duan Ling Tian.
âAlright.â 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.
âSo far Iâve gathered more than twenty Celestial Fruits. In addition to the Celestial Fruits Huanâer obtained, we have almost fifty Celestial Fruits between us.â Duan Ling Tian mentally calculated their gains.
âWe have another two hours⊠I wonder if weâll be able to collect more than fifty Celestial Fruits during this time.â
If other people could hear Duan Ling Tianâs 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.
âBoy, itâs you!â
Duan Ling Tian turned around and saw the Palm Fire Zen Sectâs Elder Wang. Previously, he had snatched the Red River Celestial Fruit from Elder Wang when he was fighting with the Ganges Profound Sectâs Celestial Lord.
Although Elder Wang was a Three Talents Celestial Lord, he could not defeat the Ganges Profound Sectâs 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. âElder Wang, do you know him?â
âElder Liu, heâs 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 spaceâs Teleportation Profundity. He even comprehended the Teleportation Profundity to the initial stage,â 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.
âItâs him?â Elder Liuâs eyes lit up immediately when he heard Elder Wangâs 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, âElder Wang is it? Did you manage to find anything so far?â
Even if Duan Ling Tian was alone he was not afraid of Elder Wang and Elder Liu, let alone now that Huanâer 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 Swordâs full potential, the sword had gained a soul after all. Therefore, it was much more powerful now. Currently, the swordâs strength had already surpassed Emperor Grade Celestial Weapons. Even extraordinary Emperor Grade Celestial Weapons were not a match for it.
Apart from that, Huangâer, the Seven Orifices Exquisite Swordâs 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 Huangâer 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 Tianâs words, the Palm Fire Zen Sectâs Elder Wang laughed before he asked, âWhat? Are you going to rob us? Youâre too arrogant for a mere Ten Directions Celestial King. Boy, if you know whatâs 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 wonât let this matter slide even when we leave this place.â His voice turned threatening during the latter half of his words.
âEscape?â Duan Ling Tian chuckled. âDid I say anything about escaping?â
âWhat? Donât tell me youâre planning to fight us?â Elder Wang said disdainfully.
Duan Ling Tian did not respond to Elder Wang. Instead, he turned to Huanâer and said, âHuanâer, you take one, and Iâll take one⊠Hm, just get them to hand over their Celestial Fruits.â
The two elders from the Palm Fire Zen Sect were still looking at Duan Ling Tian contemptuously when Duan Ling Tian and Huanâer 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 Huanâer 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, âIf you donât want to die, hand over everything youâve obtained. This lady by my side is skilled in Illusions so I advise you not to play tricks.â
At this time, the two elders who had witnessed Duan Ling Tian and Huanâer 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.
âThese are the Celestial Fruits I obtained.â
âI only managed to collect these.â
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 Tianâs following words.
âHand over your herbs as wellâŠâ
After putting away the Celestial Fruits and herbs, Duan Ling Tian and Huanâer were about to leaveâŠ
At this moment, a booming voice rang from afar.
âElders, itâs him! Heâs the one who killed Elder Sun Yu.â
The voice caught the attention of Duan Ling Tian, Huanâer, 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 Sectâs Elder Qin whom Elder Wang from the Palm Fire Zen Sect fought with.
âItâs you!â The Ganges Profound Sectâs Elder Qin cried out. Clearly, he had recognized Duan Ling Tian as well.
âWang Ye, Liu Tong, stay out of this. The boyâs Red River Celestial Fruit belongs to the Ganges Profound Sect,â 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, âThereâs strength in numbersâ.
âYouâŠâ the Palm Fire Zen Sectâs Liu Tong said.
However, before Liu Tong could finish his sentence, Wang Ye sent him a Voice Transmission to stop him, âDonât say anything to him. We canât be the only ones to suffer a loss, right?â
After that, Wang Ye looked at the Ganges Profound Sectâs Elder Qin and feigned indignation as he said, âQin He Dao, I wouldnât have let you have the Red River Celestial Fruit if we have as many people as you do.â
