War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

"Duan Ling Tian is so strong?" Su Li's eyes were filled with incredulity when he looked at Duan Ling Tian. However, a gentle smile soon appeared on his face. He thought to himself, 'Well, that guy never fails to surprise every time we meet. Even his wife is so strong, it's not strange for him to be so strong!'

"Little Yuan Jie, it seems like Elder Su Li's friend is a little hostile toward you…" As a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial, the grey-clad old man was, naturally, astute. He had long noticed that the purple-clad young man seemed hostile toward Ren Yuan Jie.

Ren Yuan Jie had also noticed Duan Ling Tian's hostility. She said in a small voice, "He probably thinks Su Li is still my sword slave."

"Well, that's no longer true so it's just a misunderstanding now." The grey-clad old man smiled as he asked Su Li, "Elder Su Li, do you mind introducing your friend to us? This is the first time I want to befriend an Eminent Celestial!" Fearing that Su Li would be worried about them encroaching on his time with Duan Ling Tian, he added, "Naturally, after our introductions, you can take your time to catch up with him."

"I don't mind," Su Li replied before he led the grey-clad old man and Ren Yuan Jie toward Duan Ling Tian.

"Hmm?" Duan Ling Tian did not expect Su Li would bring the two people along with him. One of them was even someone he did not have a very good impression of. He thought Ren Yuan Jie was a woman who had taken advantage of Su Li's misfortune for her own benefit. It was only natural for him to feel this way, after all, Su Li was his best friend.

Duan Ling Tian would not have found anything wrong with Ren Yuan Jie taking advantage of Su Li under the pretext of helping him if Su Li was not his friend. After all, it was a fair trade.

Duan Ling Tian glanced at Ren Yuan Jie and said with a frown, "Su Li, why did you bring her here?"

"Duan Ling Tian, I'm no longer Miss Ren's sword slave. Therefore, please don't be hostile toward her," Su Li said with a chuckle. Inwardly, he was very touched to see his best friend being so protective of him. After all, it was a fair trade. Most people would not think there was anything wrong with their trade.

"Hm? What happened?" Duan Ling Tian asked, slightly startled.

Then, Su Li recounted what happened to Duan Ling Tian. He said with a laugh, "Therefore, I'm currently a guest elder of Yellow Thearch Mansion."

Duan Ling Tian's expression eased after listening to Su Li's words. His hostility toward Ren Yuan Jie had vanished as well. Although Su Li would have to stay in Yellow Thearch Mansion as a guest elder for 100 years, it was very different from being a sword slave. After a while, he shifted his attention to the grey-clad old man and said, "How should I address you, senior?"

Duan Ling Tian knew Su Li was able to break free from his shackles as a sword slave and become a guest elder in Yellow Thearch Mansion was all thanks to this old man. Therefore, his impression of the old man was not bad. He was impressed by the old man's magnanimity. Not only did the old man have a high cultivation base, but he had a good attitude as well.

"I'm Xuan Yuan Zhi… Little brother Ling Tian, I heard about you for a long time now," Xuan Yuan Zhi, the Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial of Yellow Thearch Mansion, said with a laugh. He was very friendly when he spoke. "There's no need for you to address me as senior. You can just address me as older brother if it makes you more comfortable. After all, I'm only a few years older than you."

Upon hearing Xuan Yuan Zhi's words, Duan Ling Tian did not know how to describe his feelings. A Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial just said he was only a few years older than him…

Han Xue Nai who was standing nearby muttered under her breath, "This old man is a little shameless, right?" Although her voice was not loud, everyone heard her words.

Xuan Yuan Zhi did not get angry, he only looked at Han Xue Nai and smiled.

On the contrary, Ren Yuan Jie who was standing next to Xuan Yuan Zhi glared at Han Xue Nai. After all, in her opinion, Xuan Yuan Zhi was not only the ancestor of Yellow Thearch Mansion, but he was also one of the two supreme beings in Yellow Thearch Mansion. She would have done more than glare at Han Xue Nai if she did not see that Xuan Yuan Zhi did not seem to take offense.

"Since you've spoken, I'll listen to you. Otherwise, I would be disrespectful…" Since Xuan Yuan Zhi was friendly and respectful, Duan Ling Tian treated him with due respect as well. Moreover, getting acquainted with a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial was not a bad thing.

Xuan Yuan Zhi laughed when he heard Duan Ling Tian's words. He said, "Good! Good!" After that, he said, "Little brother Ling Tian, since you haven't seen Elder Su Li for so long, I won't disturb you any longer so you can catch up with him."

Xuan Yuan Zhi continued to say, "I plan to leave the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone in about three years before it closes. If you decide to visit Yan Huang Realm before the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone closes, you're more than welcome in our Yellow Thearch Mansion. Please accept this order token. The Yellow Thearch Mansion is located in an isolated area. However, once you arrive in Yan Huang Realm, if you infuse your energy into the token, it'll lead you to the Yellow Thearch Mansion." He passed a violet and gold order token to Duan Ling Tian as he spoke.

"Yan Huang Realm?" Duan Ling Tian took the violet and gold order token before he said, "If older brother is from another mundane realm, I can't be sure if I'll visit. However, I've long decided to visit Yan Huang Realm. When I'm there, I'll definitely visit you."

"Is that so?" Xuan Yuan Zhi's eyes brightened when he heard Duan Ling Tian's words. In fact, he did not think Duan Ling Tian would really visit the Yellow Thearch Mansion in Yan Huang Realm even though he had given Duan Ling Tian an order token.

"Yes." Duan Ling Tian smiled. He looked at Zhang Yi before he said, "this is my friend, Zhang Yi. He's from the Celestial Masters Sect in Yan Huang Realm… I promised him I'll follow him to Yan Huang Realm."

"He's from the Celestial Masters Sect?" Xuan Yuan Zhi instantly turned to look at Zhang Yi. He chuckled. "I'm friends with the Free Cloud Sage in Celestial Masters Sect. Before I ascend, I'll meet him. At that time, I'll mention you."

Free Cloud Sage! Zhang Yi was shocked when he heard this. The Free Cloud Sage was the only Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial in Celestial Masters Sect. Needless to say, he was also the strongest person in Celestial Masters Sect.

Although Zhang Yi was from the Celestial Masters Sect and could be considered as quite talented among the younger generation, he had never even seen the Free Cloud Sage before, let alone speak to him. How could he not feel shocked when Xuan Yuan Zhi told him he was friends with the Free Cloud Sage and would even mention his name when he met the Free Cloud Sage?

Zhang Yi quickly bowed and said, "T-thank you, s-senior!"

"Since you're a friend of Little brother Ling Tian, you can be considered as my friend as well. There's no need for thanks." Xuan Yuan Zhi smiled faintly at Zhang Yi. Then, he turned to Duan Ling Tian and said, "Alright, Yuan Jie and I won't disturb your reunion with Elder Su Li."

After that, Xuan Yuan Zhi said to Su Li before he left with Ren Yuan Jie, "Elder Su Li, we are not in a rush so take your time to catch up with Little brother Ling Tian."

"Alright," Su Li nodded.

…

Since Duan Ling Tian and Su Li had not met for a long time, once they began to talk, they could not stop. Both of them spoke about their experiences.

Su Li was shocked when he heard Duan Ling Tian's experience. He felt as though he was on tenterhooks when Duan Ling Tian recounted the dangers he encountered.

On the other hand, Duan Ling Tian could feel Su Li's pain when Su Li recounted how he obtained the inheritance from the Devil Clans and demonized before he killed his master, Sword Thirteen.
