Those who were jealous of Duan Ling Tian were those peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials who had just joined the sect as well. They were confident of their strength and were of the opinion that Duan Ling Tian only ranked second due to sheer luck.

An old man glared at Duan Ling Tian's back with eyes that were burning with jealousy. 'This Duan Ling Tian is definitely weaker than me, but he's traveling so close to Vice Sect Leader Zhang. Moreover, it seems like Vice Sect Leader Zhang values him a lot.'

This old man was a peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial who had comprehended two profundities from the law of fire. With this, he was undoubtedly one of the stronger participants to enter the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm. He was ranked ninth and was the only participant in the top ten, apart from Duan Ling Tian, who chose to join the Simplicity Celestial Sect. He had chosen to join the Simplicity Celestial Sect because the sect possessed the most fire-element King Grade Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities out of the Three Sects and Two Clans. With this, he would have a higher chance of comprehending other profundities from the law of fire. In fact, he had no wish to join the Profound Nether Mansion at all. After all, the mansion would only accept people with remarkable innate talents and high comprehension skills under the age of 300. His only goal was to join the Simplicity Celestial Sect and obtain King Grade Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities that contained profundities from the law of fire.

The old man seethed in anger and jealousy as he watched a young man who was not even 100 years old given the privilege to travel next to Zhang Guang Zheng, the Vice Sect Leader of the Simplicity Sect. It was unfortunate that he had lost all memories of the Celestial Lord Temple and Time Valley. Otherwise, he would not even dare to have such thoughts.

During his stint in Time Valley, the old man had witnessed Duan Ling Tian kill Li Yuan with just a strike. Similar to him, Li Yuan had also comprehended two profundities from the law of fire. Although he coveted the highest seat in Time Valley, he did not dare to do anything after he had witnessed Duan Ling Tian's strength. Unfortunately, his memories of that time were gone so he thought Duan Ling Tian had only ranked second due to sheer luck.

The old man was not the only one who felt jealous. A few strong peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials were having a hushed discussion as they glared at Duan Ling Tian.

"This Duan Ling Tian isn't even 100 years old. He's only able to rank second due to luck!"

"That's right. It's already extremely difficult for someone under 100 years to break through and become a peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial, let alone comprehending two profundities of a law."

"Hmph! Not only is he handsomely rewarded because of his rank, but he's also receiving better treatment because of it."

All of them thought Duan Ling Tian ranked second due to luck, except for Xue Jing Yu, the Second Prince of the Southern Qi Nation, who had also joined the Simplicity Celestial Sect. His strength was on par with the few peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials because he had comprehended the Fundamental Profundity of the law of thunder, the Thunder Elemental Profundity. Unlike the rest, he did not underestimate Duan Ling Tian. After all, before he entered the lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm, he had a duel with Duan Ling Tian. For this reason, he knew how formidable Duan Ling Tian was.

'These idiots must not know that Duan Ling Tian has comprehended two profundities from the law of earth despite being younger than 100 years old,' Xue Jing Yu thought to himself when he heard the hushed discussions in his surroundings.

Meanwhile, Zhang Guang Zheng asked Duan Ling Tian, "Duan Ling Tian, are you really a sectless cultivator?"

"Yes." Duan Ling Tian nodded slightly. It was true he did not have a force he belonged to in this Devata Realm. He was truly a sectless cultivator. Even those who belonged to small forces in the borderlands were considered sectless when they came to the central area.

"It's extremely rare for a sectless cultivator to achieve such remarkable feats at such a young age. However, from this day onward, you're no longer a sectless cultivator. You're a true disciple of the Simplicity Celestial Sect." Zhang Guang Zheng was skeptical when he heard Duan Ling Tian's reply. Nevertheless, he did not dwell on the matter.

"A true disciple? What's a true disciple?" Duan Ling Tian asked curiously.

"A true disciple is how we address the most outstanding disciples in the Simplicity Celestial Sect. There can only be ten true disciples in the Simplicity Celestial Sect, no matter what. Ten years ago, one of our true disciples had fallen. Since then, we've been short of one true disciple. Now that you joined our sect, our sect leader has decided to make you a true disciple," Zhang Guang Zheng explained.

"Is there a difference between true disciples of the Simplicity Celestial Sect and the core disciples of the Coupling Celestial Sect?" Duan Ling Tian asked.

"Of course, there's a difference. There are only ten true disciples in the Simplicity Celestial Sect while there are at least 100 core disciples in the Coupling Celestial Sect," Zhang Guang Zheng replied.

Upon hearing Zhang Guang Zheng's words, Duan Ling Tian felt that Bihai Ming Feng, the Third Sect Leader of the Coupling Celestial Sect, was very stingy. Bihai Ming Feng had promised that he would become a core disciple of the Coupling Celestial Sect if he joined the sect. However, there were at least 100 core disciples in the Coupling Celestial Sect. How was that special?

"Since there are only ten true disciples in the Simplicity Celestial Sect, they must have special privileges, right?" Duan Ling Tian asked.

"Of course." Zhang Guang Zheng nodded. "The true disciples of the Simplicity Celestial Sect will be given access to all King Grade Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities in the sect! There are other privileges as well. You'll learn about them when we arrive at the sect."

Duan Ling Tian continued to ask, "Then, what do you mean by being treated like the personal disciple of the sect leader earlier?"

"Being a true disciple is almost the same as being the personal disciple of the sect leader. I didn't expect you to become a true disciple of our sect earlier. The sect leader had only informed me of his decision after you've chosen to join us," Zhang Guang Zheng explained.

…

Each of the 81 Devata Realms had a sacred place called the Heavenly Emperor Palace. It was where the Devata Realms' Heavenly Emperors cultivated. Apart from that, Heavenly Emperor Palaces also represented the powers and authority of Heavenly Emperors.

In the past, the Heavenly Emperor of the Solitary Destructive Heaven, Feng Qing Yang, was forced to flee into one of the seven deadliest places in the Devata Realm, the Asura Hell. After that, a fight between a few titled Celestial Emperors broke out as they fought for the throne. In the end, an Inverse Center Celestial Emperor successfully became the new Heavenly Emperor of the Solitary Destructive Heaven.

Whoosh!

A gust of wind stirred up as a figure suddenly appeared out of thin air in the night sky above the Heavenly Emperor Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven.

"Chen Qiu Bo!"

A voice resounded in the entire Heavenly Emperor Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven as soon as the figure appeared.

The people in the Heavenly Emperor Palace were shocked when they heard the name 'Chen Qiu Bo' echoing through the palace. Who was so daring to use the name of the Inverse Center Celestial Emperor of the Solitary Destructive Heaven? It was the name of the Heavenly Emperor, after all.

"W-who is that?!"

"How dare he call the name of our Heavenly Emperor!"

"Is he a rebel?"

At this moment, a tall and muscular man flew into the air and confronted the intruder. "Who's it? How dare you call the name of our Heavenly Emperor!"

"It's me." A handsome young man with a medium build who was dressed in white robes looked at the tall and muscular man.

"You…" The tall and muscular bearded man widened his eyes when he saw the white-clad young man. "Y-your Majesty?!" His eyes reddened instantly before tears streamed down his face. It was as though he had turned into a crying little girl in a blink of an eye.

"This big fella…" The white-clad young man shook his head helplessly. Then, he said teasingly, "Don't you serve Chen Qiu Bo now? You were going to defend Chen Qiu Bo earlier, weren't you?"

"Your Majesty, stop teasing me… I didn't leave because your Soul Pearl indicates that you're still alive. I stayed to wait for your return." The bearded man smiled bitterly. Then, he furrowed his brows as he asked, "Your Majesty, w-why does your voice sound a little muffled?"

The white-clad young man replied nonchalantly, "I'm speaking to you through my doppelganger using the law of earth."

The bearded man exclaimed in shock, "Your Majesty, did you have a breakthrough?!"
