Chapter 3125: The Profound Nether Mansion's Base

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Duan Ling Tian could tell the minute fluctuations were from the Formation that was inscribed on the Accumulative Point Jade. After he inscribed his name on the Accumulative Point Jade, he handed it back to the Profound Nether Mansion elder seated behind the counter.

After the elder verified Duan Ling Tian's name, he passed the Accumulative Point Jade back to Duan Ling Tian again.

When Duan Ling Tian dripped a drop of blood on the Accumulative Jade Point, the drop of blood quickly seeped into the Accumulative Jade Point. With that, the energy fluctuations grew stronger for a moment before they gradually calmed down.

'Duan Ling Tian.' The Profound Nether Mansion seated behind the counter racked his brain, trying to figure out Duan Ling Tian's identity. Was there a Duan clan among the ten major clans? No, he was certain there was no Duan clan among the ten major clans. Then, could he be from one of the top five sects? Alas, no matter how hard he tried, he did not find any information or clue regarding Duan Ling Tian.

While the Profound Nether Mansion elder's imagination ran wild, Qi Tian Ming looked at Duan Ling Tian and said, "It's done. You can now enter the middle realm of the Southern Ancient Realm with your Accumulative Point Jade. However, are you certain you want to enter now?"

"Yes," Duan Ling Tian replied as they walked toward the stone platform where the Transporting Formation to the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm was located.

"When you're standing in the Formation, send your Celestial Origin Energy into the Accumulative Point Jade, and it'll send you to your destination. To be precise, it'll send you to the Profound Nether Mansion's base. You'll have to leave the base to enter the middle realm and accumulate points," Qi Tian Ming said through Voice Transmission.

Duan Ling Tian nodded before he leaped onto the stone platform. He did not waste time and quickly sent his Celestial Origin Energy into the Accumulative Point Jade that he held in his hand. A streak of white light shot out from the Accumulative Point Jade into the stone platform and the Formation beneath his feet. The ground seemed to turn into liquid immediately. In the next moment, the ground beneath his feet seemed to have come to life as it shone with a dazzling white light that shrouded him.

After a brief moment, the white light gradually turned into mist. Duan Ling Tian was nowhere to be seen when the mist dissipated.

At this moment, another Profound Nether Mansion elder who was familiar with Qi Tian Ming curiously asked, "My lord, who's he for you to personally show him around?"

Before Qi Tian Ming left, he replied with a mysterious smile on his face, "You'll find out in the future."

…

"Is this the middle realm of the Southern Ancient Realm?" When Duan Ling Tian opened his eyes, he discovered he was in a vast valley. Apart from rows of crudely built buildings, he saw there was quite a number of people gathered outside those buildings. There were even some people who were sparring.

After a brief observation, he discovered they were all Ten Directions Celestial Dukes. Apart from that, based on the identity tokens hanging from their waists, he knew they were from the Profound Nether Mansion as well. However, unlike his outer court disciple identity token, their identity tokens were that of the inner court disciples.

At the same time, Duan Ling Tian's arrival had attracted a few people's attention.

"A newcomer?"

"Who's he? I don't think I've seen him before…"

"I haven't seen him before either… I know all of the extraordinary Ten Directions Celestial Kings in the mansion so I'm sure he's not one of them."

"It's not surprising that you don't recognize him. Didn't you see the identity token hanging from his waist? He's an outer court disciple. How powerful can he be?"

"It's not just that… Have any of you discovered he's not even 100 years old?"

"Not even 100 years old?!"

Initially, only a few people paid attention to Duan Ling Tian. However, as the few people discussed among themselves, more and more people began to notice Duan Ling Tian. Even those who were in the midst of sparring stopped momentarily to look at him.

It was not difficult for extraordinary Ten Directions Celestial Dukes to become an inner court disciple in the Profound Nether Mansion. It was also for this reason that most Ten Directions Celestial Duke who entered the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm were inner court disciples. It was rare for Ten Directions Celestial Dukes who were outer court disciples to enter the middle realm. After all, the outer court disciples were mostly ordinary and not very strong compared to the inner court disciples. If they entered the middle realm and encountered a powerful opponent, they might not even have time to shatter their Accumulative Point Jades before they were killed.

"What's an outer court disciple doing here?

"Isn't he afraid of dying?"

Many of the Ten Directions Celestial Dukes in the valley frowned as they looked at Duan Ling Tian.

The valley is the Profound Nether Mansion's base in the middle realm of the Southern Ancient Realm. Therefore, as Duan Ling Tian had discovered, everyone here was Ten Directions Celestial Dukes and inner court disciples of the Profound Nether Mansion.

At this moment, a relatively young inner court disciple from the Profound Nether Mansion said with a frown, "Lad, this isn't a place where an outer court disciple like you should come."

"That's right! You should leave as soon as you can. If you run into Ten Directions Celestial Dukes from the other grade-six Celestial Mansions, you might not even have the opportunity to crush your Accumulative Point Jade to escape!" a middle-aged man chimed in, trying to persuade Duan Ling Tian to leave.

Duan Ling Tian had heard their conversations earlier so he knew these inner court disciples did not think much of him due to him being an outer court disciple. However, he was not bothered by their opinion. If he was bothered by such trivial matters, he would have lived so long in vain. In the end, he replied, "Thank you for the warning. However, since I've come, I have no intention of leaving."

Duan Ling Tian continued surveying his surroundings. He saw a stone platform in the center of the valley. He knew it had to be where the Transporting Formation that led back to the Profound Nether Mansion was located. Then, he looked beyond the boundary of the valley for a brief moment before he suddenly vanished into thin air and appeared 100 meters away. He disappeared again before appearing another 100 meters away.

In just a few seconds, Duan Ling Tian vanished from the inner court disciples' sight. Needless to say, they were shocked by Duan Ling Tian's movement technique. They could not even capture the slightest trace of his movement!

"This…"

"It seems like… It seems like he used the law of space's Teleportation Profundity!"

"The law of space? An outer court disciple comprehended the law of space?"

"If he comprehended the law of space's Teleportation Profundity, there's no way we wouldn't hear of it. Although there are a few outer court disciples who have comprehended the law of space, none of them has comprehended the Teleportation Profundity."

"Maybe he just comprehended it recently?"

"Impossible! As one of the Four Supreme Laws, the law of space is naturally difficult to comprehend. Even the strongest outer disciple in the Profound Nether Mansion has only comprehended two profundities from the law of space. Even if he has comprehended the Teleportation Profundity, he wouldn't dare to step into the middle realm."

"That's right! I've seen that outer court disciple who comprehended two profundities from the law of space three months ago. He's just an Eight Trigrams Celestial Duke. Therefore, I'm certain that the young man is not him. Let alone an Eight Trigrams Celestial Duke from the outer court, even those outer court disciples who are Nine Palaces Celestial Dukes and Ten Directions Celestial Dukes wouldn't recklessly enter the middle realm if they have comprehended three profundities from the law of space."

Apart from being shocked by Duan Ling Tian's technique, they were also curious about his identity.

"I'll go and ask around…" One inner court disciple was so curious that he even returned to the Profound Nether Mansion through the Transporting Formation in the valley just so he could enquire about Duan Ling Tian.

After a moment, that inner court disciple returned to the valley again with a strange expression on his face. "When I asked around, I was told that the young man was personally brought here by Inspector Qi. It seems like he's a young master from a prominent family who's here to sightsee."

Upon hearing these words, the inner court disciples began to discuss among themselves again.

"A young master from a prominent family? So that's why he dares to come here despite being younger than 100 years old."

"Right! I almost forgot about it. I couldn't sense the level of his Celestial Origin Energy, but there's no way he's a Ten Directions Celestial Duke."

"You're stating the obvious! How can he be a Ten Directions Celestial Duke when he's not even 100 years old?"

"He dares to enter the middle realm even though he's not even 100 years old? Where does he get his confidence from? It would be funny if he ends up dying here."

All of the inner court disciples shook their heads. They were all of the opinion that the purple-clad young man was seeking death by coming to this place.

"Hey, I think we should tail him and see what happens… If he gets into trouble, we can save him. Imagine a young master from a prominent family owing us a debt of gratitude! He can't be from an ordinary family since Inspector Qi personally brought him here," an old man said with a hint of excitement. As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly headed toward the direction where Duan Ling Tian left.

A few others followed suit and left the valley as well.

…

Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian was naturally unaware of the commotion he had caused in the valley.

After he left the valley, he continued using the Teleportation Profundity to travel. It did not take long before he arrived in a stone forest. He continued moving, and when he emerged from the other side of the forest, he was greeted by a vast and barren plain. He could see the stains of some dark substance on the ground. It was not difficult for him to tell that it was bloodstains.

"It seems like people have died here…"
