War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Based on what Su Li heard about the Yellow Thearch Mansion from Ren Yuan Jie, he knew the Yellow Thearch Mansion was connected to a Devata Realm. If he did not obtain the inheritance from a Great Overarching Golden Celestial, he might have accepted the grey-clad old man's invitation. However, it was not possible for him to do so now. This was because the moment he obtained the inheritance from the Great Overarching Golden Celestial, he had become the successor of the Great Overarching Golden Celestial. When he was able to ascend to a Devata Realm, he would be the disciple of the Great Overarching Golden Celestial. How could he go to another force in the Devata Realm?

"I'm sorry, senior," Su Li shook his head and said frankly, "I'll have to decline the invitation. If the Yellow Thearch Mansion is just a force in the mundane realm, I would've joined. Since I've obtained the inheritance from the Great Overarching Golden Celestial, when I ascend to a Devata Realm, I'll become that Great Overarching Golden Celestial's disciple."

The grey-clad old man shook his head. "Su Li, you might not know this, but you're merely one of the many disciples of the Great Overarching Golden Celestial in the mundane realms. He might not even be aware of your existence. In the future, when you ascend to the Devata Realm, it's not a big deal even if you don't become his disciple or join his force."

The grey-clad old man continued to say persuasively, "Moreover, our Yellow Thearch Mansion is also a top force in the Devata Realm. In fact, our old ancestor has now become a Heaven Emperor in a Devata Realm! If you join us now and when you ascend to the Devata Realm, even if that Great Overarching Golden Celestial is unhappy, he might not even have the courage to look for you in our Yellow Thearch Mansion." Based on his words, one could see he was extremely confident about the strength of the Yellow Thearch Mansion.

Upon hearing the grey-clad old man's words, Su Li was slightly irritated. "Senior, do I look like someone who would repay favors with ingratitude?"

"Su Li!" Ren Yuan Jie exclaimed in a chiding tone. She was shocked by his words. How dare he act so recklessly before the ancestor of the Yellow Thearch Mansion? Did he not want to live?

Contrary to Ren Yuan Jie's expectation, the grey-clad old man did not seem angry. Instead, he burst out laughing. "Just as I expected, Su Li. You're a good man who holds firm to his principles." It seemed as though he had already expected Su Li to reject his invitation.

"Ancestor…" Ren Yuan Jie was startled. She could tell the grey-clad old man had expected this outcome. However, if he knew Su Li was going to decline the invitation, why did he ask her to release Su Li from being her sword slave? She was confused.

"Regardless, you're no longer Yuan Jie's sword slave. Moreover, it's an insult to you to remain as her sword slave. Since both of you made a promise for 100 years, why don't you become a guest elder in Yellow Thearch Mansion in the mundane realm during that time? It won't have anything to do with what you do when you ascend to the Devata Realm."

"Okay," Su Li agreed. The grey-clad old man's request did not conflict with his principles. Moreover, compared to becoming Ren Yuan Jie's sword slave, it was much better to become a guest elder in the Yellow Thearch Mansion.

When Ren Yuan Jie heard the grey-clad old man's words, she could not help but exclaim inwardly, 'The older one is, the wiser one becomes!' She could feel the changes in Su Li now that he was no longer her sword slave. He used to act like a puppet. 'Since our ancestor is being so magnanimous, based on Su Li's character, he would definitely dedicate himself to the Yellow Thearch Mansion during these 100 years to repay the ancestor's favor.' This was why she thought the ancestor was wise.

The grey-clad old man said genially, "Yellow Thearch Mansion welcomes you. Since you've already obtained the inheritance from the Great Overarching Golden Celestial, let's leave this place. We'll stay in the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone for another few years to search for Celestial Supreme Treasures, Divine Abilities, and Celestial Techniques."

Although the inheritance from the Great Overarching Golden Celestial had already been obtained, the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone would still remain open for a long time. As a Bodiless Celestial, he could only enter earth-rank treasure vaults. He was barred from entering heaven-rank and human-rank treasure vaults. The old man was confident that with Su Li and Ren Yuan Jie around, the Yellow Thearch Mansion would be able to obtain the Celestial Supreme Treasures, Divine Abilities, and Celestial Techniques in heaven-rank treasure vaults.

Before they left, Su Li said, "Senior, before we leave, I would like to bid my friend farewell." He, naturally, did not forget about Duan Ling Tian.

"Oh? You're friends with Duan Ling Tian?" The grey-clad did not seem surprised. Moreover, he even knew Duan Ling Tian's name.

On the other hand, Su Li was shocked, "Senior, you know my friend as well?"

The grey-clad old man stared at Su Li intently as he said, "Your friend is not to be underestimated…"

"Duan Ling Tian is not to be underestimated?" Su Li was confused by the grey-clad old man's words.

"Since you were possessed by your devil half most of the time, I'm sure you haven't heard the rumors about your friend…"

At this time, Ren Yuan Jie who was standing at the side chimed in, "Duan Ling Tian killed two Seven Tribulation Bodiless Celestials previously. Moreover, one of them even possessed a Celestial Supreme Celestial Treasure before Duan Ling Tian killed him! From what I know, these are not rumors. It's indeed true."

"He… He killed two Seven Tribulation Bodiless Celestials?" Su Li was dumbfounded. Even after obtaining the inheritance from a Great Overarching Golden Celestial and a Celestial Sword, his strength was only comparable to an ordinary Seven Tribulation Bodiless Celestial without a Celestial Supreme Treasure. How could he not feel surprised that his friend was already capable of killing Seven Tribulation Bodiless Celestials?

Ren Yuan Jie continued to say, "Yes. Moreover, he killed those two Seven Tribulation Bodiless Celestials with just a strike!"

Su Li was thoroughly shocked. Although he had not seen Duan Ling Tian for many years, he knew Duan Ling Tian had to be strong. However, he did not expect that Duan Ling Tian would be so strong! After a while, he thought to himself, 'This shouldn't come as a surprise. Even his wife is so strong, how could he not be strong?' He remembered Ke'er had helped him to obtain the inheritance from a Great Overarching Golden Celestial. If it were not for her help, he might not even be able to obtain the inheritance.

At this moment, the grey-clad old man said, "The matter of him killing two Seven Tribulation Bodiless Celestials is old news. Before both of you came out, Duan Ling Tian killed an Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestial who possessed a Celestial Supreme Treasure. Moreover, that Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestial was the strongest Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestial in Mouro Realm." He looked at the purple-clad young man standing in the distance warily as he said, "If I were to battle him, I'll definitely fall into a disadvantageous position if I don't use a Celestial Supreme Treasure."

The man narrowed his eyes and continued to say with a hint of incredulity in his voice, "Before he killed the Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestial, he snatched the Bodiless Celestial's Celestial Supreme Treasure and severely injured him. Then, he chased after the Bodiless Celestial when the Bodiless Celestial tried to escape and killed the Bodiless Celestial. At that time, his speed was comparable to a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial!"

The grey-clad old man was shocked by the fact that Duan Ling Tian's strength and speed were comparable to Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial despite only being an Eminent Celestial. He thought to himself, 'Only Bodiless Celestials who have cultivated the Soul Congregation Embodiment technique stand a chance against him. Otherwise, even a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial like me would have a hard time defeating him!'

"What?" Upon hearing the grey-clad old man's words, both of them gasped in shock and amazement.

Ren Yuan Jie looked spooked as she looked at the purple-figure standing in the distance. "Duan Ling Tian killed an Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestial who possessed a Celestial Supreme Treasure? And that Eighth Tribulation Bodiless Celestial was the strongest Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestial in Mouro Realm?" She really did not expect that purple-clad young man who was only an Eminent Celestial possessed such terrifying power.
