Ten days later.

A city about the size of the capital of the Supporting Fall Nation appeared before Duan Ling Tian after Old Mo slowed down. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to see his surroundings clearly.

"We've arrived at the capital of the Solitary Nation… The Imperial auction is slated to happen in five days. Meanwhile, the Imperial Family of the Solitary Nation will provide us with accommodation in the Imperial Palace," Huang Yuan Fei, the City Governor of Passage City, said as soon as they entered the capital of the Solitary Nation.

The capital of the Solitary Nation was similar to the capital of the Supporting Fall Nation. It was a big and bustling city. Before entering the capital, Old Mo had reverted to his human form; a scrawny old man in black robes. Huang Yuan Fei led the group through the busy streets of the capital to the entrance of the Imperial Palace of the Solitary Nation.

"I'm Huang Yuan Fei, the City Governor of Passage City in the Supporting Fall Nation. We're here to participate in the Imperial auction that will be held in five days," Huang Yuan Fei said to the Imperial guards guarding the palace.

Soon after, a person came out to welcome them.

A middle-aged man dressed in silver armor greeted Huang Yuan Fei. He was as tall and muscular as Bai Gang. "City Governor Huang, it's really you! It's been ten years since we last met."

"Commander He, it's an honor for you to come and welcome us!" Huang Yuan Fei said as he cupped his hands together.

"Old Mo is here as well?" Commander He smiled and quickly bowed, slightly distracted by Old Mo who was standing behind Huang Yuan Fei. It was obvious he knew Old Mo was a One Basic Celestial King!

Before Old Mo replied, Bai Gang said with a broad smile on his face, "He Feng, we were tied during our battle ten years ago. We must fight again this time!"

"Bai Gang, it was a tie only because we were both fooling around. In a serious battle, I'm definitely no match for you if you revert to your true form!" He Feng said with a wry smile when he heard Bai Gang's words.

"So you're aware of that? However, ten years have passed. I'm sure you have improved a lot. It's rare for us to meet. Now that I'm here, you must make time for a round of battle with me!" Bai Gang said as he cracked his knuckles. It was obvious his fighting spirit had been stimulated!

"If you insist, we'll have a battle outside the city after the Imperial Auction. You can fight in your true form without holding back." He Feng's eyes brightened. It was clear he was also keen to fight with Bai Gang.

"Great! You must have improved tremendously. Otherwise, you wouldn't ask me to fight in my true form," Bai Gang said after he laughed heartily. His fighting spirit grew even stronger with these words.

"Both of you can continue this conversation after the auction…" Huang Yuan Fei quickly interrupted the duo's conversation before he said, "Commander He, this is my fourth son, Huang Jia Long. I believe you've met him a few years ago." Then, he turned to look at Duan Ling Tian and said, "This is Jia Long's good friend, Duan Ling Tian. The Emperor of the Supporting Fall Nation has sent me here to obtain the Golden Nematodes to help him break through and become a peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial!"

After greeting Huang Jia Long, He Feng shifted his attention to Duan Ling Tian. His eyes narrowed imperceptibly as he studied Duan Ling Tian from head to toe. "You… You're Duan Ling Tian?!"

As neighboring nations, it was only natural for the Solitary Nation to receive news of the genius who appeared during the Southern Heaven Combat in the Supporting Fall Nation. This genius under the age of 100 had defeated Huang Jia Long, the Young Master of the City Governor's estate in Passage City, with just a move. He was well aware of Huang Jia Long's high innate talent and strength, therefore, he was shocked when he heard someone who was not even 100 years old defeated Huang Jia Long with just a move.

"Wait a second…" Before Duan Ling Tian could reply, He Feng looked at Huang Yuan Fei and asked, "City Governor Huang, did you say that you're here to obtain the Golden Nematode to help him break through and become a peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial? Are you saying that he… he's only a Heaven Stage Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial?!" An expression of disbelief appeared on his face as he turned back to look at Duan Ling Tian again. It was as though he had seen a monster. Was this young man another monstrous genius who had also comprehended the power of the law like that genius from the East Ming Nation? Otherwise, how could a Heaven Stage Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial who was not even 100 years old defeat Huang Jia Long, a peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial, with one blow?

"He Feng, you're shocked, right?" Bai Gang laughed heartily when he saw the expression on He Feng's face. "Among the top nine candidates selected from the Southern Heaven Combat in the Solitary Nation, I believe none of them are as crazy as this young lad, right?"

He Feng scoffed and coldly said, "Bai Gang, I was shocked by this talented young man, not you… Why are you so proud?" Then, he looked at Huang Yuan Fei and said, "No wonder City Governor Huang personally led the group here… The Supporting Fall Nation has found a genius comparable to the genius in the East Ming Nation!"

"Governor Huang, Old Mo, Young Master Duan, Jia Long, please come with me." He Feng deliberately left Bai Gang out.

…

The Imperial Palace of the Solitary Nation was fully decorated with gold and gemstones. It was a stark contrast to the simple and minimalistic concept of the Imperial Palace of the Supporting Fall Nation.

After they entered the palace, Huang Jia Long took the initiative to send a Voice Transmission to Duan Ling Tian to explain the situation. "Brother Duan, He Feng is the Commander of the Imperial Army of the Solitary Nation. He's also a powerful Ten Directions Celestial Duke… Ten years ago, he was sent by the Emperor of the Solitary Nation to Passage City for a mission. That's how he became acquainted with my father and had a round of battle with Uncle Bai. He Feng and Uncle Bai like to taunt each other. This is the way they usually interact. They actually have a close relationship. In fact, their relationship is better than Uncle Bai's relationship with my father."

Duan Ling Tian could tell He Feng most probably a Ten Directions Celestial Duke. However, he did not expect He Feng to be the Commander of the Imperial Army of the Solitary Nation! In the Supporting Fall Nation, there were only two men the Emperor of the Supporting Fall Nation regarded as his most trustworthy men. One of them was Huang Yuan Fei, and the other one was the elusive Commander of his Imperial Army. Based on this, he came to the conclusion that He Feng must also be highly trusted by the Emperor of the Solitary Nation.

During their journey, He Feng would occasionally look at Duan Ling Tian in a strange manner. However, Duan Ling Tian paid no mind to it.

Soon enough, they arrived in a huge area that housed six courtyards. Three courtyards sat on each side of a path, falling each other.

"City Governor Huang, it's been a long journey coming from the Supporting Fall Nation. Have a good rest… I'll come back in five days to bring all of you to the auction center." He Feng bade farewell and left after he showed the group their temporary residence.

"Father! I'd like to show Brother Duan around West Lane Town… Do you mind if I bring Grandpa Mo or Uncle Bai with us?" Huang Jia Long asked with a smile. He was aware that they needed someone to protect them to avoid unwanted trouble. After all, they were no longer in the Supporting Fall Nation.

"West Lane Town?" Huang Yuan Fei looked at Huang Jia Long knowingly. "From what I know, West Lane Town is famous for stone gambling… You're going to take Little Tian to stone gamble, aren't you?"

Huang Jia Long smiled sheepishly and did not deny his father's words.

'Stone gambling?' Duan Ling Tian was surprised. Stone gambling was also a thing in the Devata Realms? He had heard of stone gambling during his time on earth. People would look at stones with their naked eyes to determine which one held valuable jade.

'I wonder what's the difference between stone gambling in the Devata Realm and on earth…' Duan Ling Tian thought to himself.

"Yuan Fei, I'll go with them." Bai Gang volunteered to go with Duan Ling Tian and Huang Yuan Fei.
