War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

"Master, didn't you hear what he said earlier? If you're not a Bodiless Celestial and you're over 100 years old, you won't be able to enter the Sword Saint Secret Zone." Although Gan Ru Yan was touched by her master's words, she still had to remind him that he could not enter the Sword Saint Secret Zone. Naturally, she did not doubt Duan Ling Tian's words or speculations.

"That's only Guardian Ling Tian's speculation. Since the Sword Saint didn't restrict Bodiless Celestials who are definitely older than 100 years old, why would he restrict cultivators who're older than 100 years old?" Qing Huo was used to addressing Duan Ling Tian as Guardian Ling Tian, and he did not drop this habit even until now. Based on his words, it's obvious that he did not think much of Duan Ling Tian's speculations.

When Duan Ling Tian saw Qing Huo was clearly doubting his words, he could not help but say, "Guardian Qing Huo, why don't you consider this? Although Senior Feng Qing Yang was strong enough to kill Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestial, he was still an Eminent Celestial. This means he had cast the Formation on the box when he was an Eminent Celestial as well. How could a Formation that was cast by an Eminent Celestial restrict a Bodiless Celestial from entering the secret zone?"

Qing Huo was rendered speechless by Duan Ling Tian's words. After a moment, his eyes gleamed resolutely as he said, "Although your words make sense, I'll still give it a try. Even if the Sword Saint Secret Zone really has an age restriction, I'm sure I'll be able to sense the repelling force before I even touch the hole."

Before Qing Huo finished speaking and before Duan Ling Tian could reply to him, he had already flown toward the hole in the void. As he flew close to the hole, he suddenly tried to stop his movements.

Boom!

The sound of an explosion rang in the air as the mysterious force that stabilized the black hole suddenly became agitated, looking as though it was boiling. In just a blink of an eye, a shockwave from the energy shot out and landed on Qing Huo's body, sending him flying.

Qing Huo who had been sent flying threw up a mouthful of blood, looking extremely miserable. It took him a while before he finally managed to steady his footing. Then, he lifted his head and looked at the black hole with a bitter smile on his face.

As soon as Gan Ru Yan saw this, she quickly rushed over to her master. She asked worriedly, "Master, are you okay?"

"I'm okay," Qing shook his head before he said with a forced smile on his face, "If only I listened to Guardian Ling Tian, I wouldn't have ended up like this…" His actions had proven that Duan Ling Tian's speculation was correct.

In truth, Duan Ling Tian had only made these speculations based on what he knew. It was just a coincidence that his conjecture aligned with Qing Huo's actions. There was another reason for the restriction on the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone. In the future, after being in the Beyond Secret Zone for a while, he would learn the truth about the restrictions. At that time, he would feel embarrassed for blindly making conjectures in front of Qing Huo. He felt as though he had spouted nonsense to Qing Huo!

Currently, Duan Ling Tian was still under the impression that his speculation was correct. "It's just as I've expected!"

"Brother Ling Tian, you're really impressive!" Han Xue Nai praised.

"Sect leader is truly impressive," the Old Prophet chimed in as well.

As for Ke'er, Duan Si Ling, and Feng Tian Wu, they remained silent. However, their eyes were unusually bright when they looked at Duan Ling Tian. This was especially true for Duan Si Ling. A hint of admiration could be seen on her face as well when she looked at her father.

Although Duan Ling Tian was used to getting looks of admiration in the past, he still felt flattered when he saw everyone admiring gazes.

Even the Old Prophet's direct disciple, the current successor of the Prophet Progeny, the Second Absolute of the Seven Absolutes Sect, Mu Yi Yi, had a startled look in her eyes even though no admiration could be seen at the moment. Previously, she had thought the Sect Leader of the Seven Absolutes Sect was only stronger than her due to sheer luck. She did not expect he would be able to accurately tell why Bodiless Celestials could enter the Sword Saint Secret Zone and why normal cultivators who were older than 100 years old could not.

As the saying went, 'The higher you climb, the harder you fall.' Currently, Duan Ling Tian was feeling pleased with himself, but he was unaware that he was going to fall very, very hard in the future.

After basking in everyone's admiration, Duan Ling Tian finally said to the Old Prophet, "Junior Uncle Prophet, I should leave now…" Out of everyone present, he was definitely the most eager to enter the Sword Saint Secret Zone.

Currently, three people had already entered the Sword Saint Secret Zone ahead of him. This caused Duan Ling Tian to feel even more impatient to enter the secret zone.

"Go ahead." The Old Prophet nodded when he heard Duan Ling Tian's words. At the same time, a hint of anticipation could be heard in his voice as he said, "I hope everything goes smoothly when you obtain Ancestor Feng Qing Yang's legacy. If you're successful, your strength will rise tremendously. Let alone possessing strength comparable to Ancestor Feng Qing Yang, it's possible for you to surpass him as well!"

The Old Prophet was confident that Duan Ling Tian's strength would surpass Sword Saint Feng Qing Yang. After all, when Sword Saint Feng Qing Yang was an Eminent Celestial, his strength had only risen to the level of a Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestial when he cast the Heart Sword Amalgamation, the fifth stage of the Sovereign Heart Sword. On the other hand, Duan Ling Tian who was also an Eminent Celestial possessed strength comparable to a Six Tribulation Bodiless Celestial when he had only cast the fourth stage of the Sovereign Heart Sword. Based on this alone, it seemed like Duan Ling Tian was even more impressive than Sword Saint Feng Qing Yang. For this reason, the Old Prophet was extremely certain Duan Ling Tian would be able to kill Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestials after he obtained the second legacy that was left behind by Sword Saint Feng Qing Yang.

Unfortunately, the Old Prophet was unaware that the Sword Saint Secret Zone was actually the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone that had nothing to do with Sword Saint Feng Qing Yang. Moreover, he was also unaware that the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone was extremely perilous. Duan Ling Tian would also need to face the group of powerhouses from the other mundane realms.

In the past, it was considered a miracle that Sword Saint Feng Qing Yang was able to walk out from the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone alive. In truth, at that time, he was not the only one who had entered the secret zone. Various powerhouses from the dragon and phoenix clans and Bodiless Celestials had entered the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone as well. Unfortunately, apart from Sword Saint Feng Qing Yang, none of them survived the secret zone.

At this moment, Duan Ling Tian turned to look at Ke'er and said, "Ke'er, please take care of Si Ling in my absence."

"I will, Brother Tian. Please be careful!" Ke'er nodded.

Duan Ling Tian replied, "Okay…" However, in his rush to enter the secret zone, he seemed to miss the strange look in Ke'er's eyes that disappeared as soon as it appeared. It was as though she was struggling with a decision in her mind.

After Duan Ling Tian spoke to Ke'er, he turned to look at Duan Si Ling and said affectionately, "Si Ling, daddy is going away for some time. You must listen to your mommy when daddy is not around, okay?"

"Daddy, I've grown up! There's no need for you to treat me like a kid. I don't like it," Duan Si Ling said with a frown after she pouted. A hint of embarrassment could be seen on her face.

The Old Prophet and Qing Huo could not help but laugh when they heard Duan Si Ling's words. In fact, everyone, including Mu Yi Yi, had a smile on their faces when they heard this.

"In daddy's eyes, you'll always be a child even after you've grown up. It'll be the same even after a few decades have passed!" Duan Ling Tian said with a chuckle after he regained his senses. Then, he turned away and said, "Xue Nai, Tian Wu, junior sister Yi Yi, we should make a move now. We've no idea what awaits us inside. There's a possibility that we would be transported to different places once we enter. There's only one thing we must remember. Regardless of what happens, we must always be cautious!"

As soon as Duan Ling Tian finished speaking, he entered the black hole at lightning speed.

The Old Prophet, Qing Huo, and Gan Ru Yan knew the three women from the Seven Absolutes Sect would follow suit soon enough. However, before any of the three women entered the black hole, a sweet and soft voice rang in the air. "Sister, please take good care of Si Ling."

Everyone's eyes instantly shifted to the woman who looked identical to Gan Ru Yan as she stood next to Duan Si Ling.

Whoosh!

Before anyone regained their senses, the woman left like a gust of wind and disappeared before everyone's eyes.

Everyone quickly turned to look at the black hole. There were some ripples in the mysterious force, it was evident that someone had just entered the black hole!

"Ke'er…" Gan Yuan Ru was stunned speechless. She was not stunned that Ke'er had decided to enter the Sword Saint Secret Zone after Duan Ling Tian. She was stunned because Ke'er's speed was so fast that she could not catch Ke'er's movements at all. One should know that she would still be able to catch glimpses of movements of cultivators at the Eighth and Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage! What was happening?
