War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

"Si Ling," Duan Ling Tian asked his daughter solemnly, "Did your grandfather say why he's being imprisoned? Since he's able to reply to you, it means they didn't confiscate his Spatial Ring."

Duan Ling Tian hoped Duan Ru Feng's situation would not be as bad as he had imagined since Duan Ru Feng was still in possession of his Spatial Ring. After all, prisoners would usually have their belongings all confiscated in order to prevent them from communicating with others. However, there was also the possibility that the Qilin Clan did not care because they were confident of their strength. After all, it was the strongest clan in the Ten Thousand Beasts Heaven.

"Father, grandfather is being detained by the Qilin Clan, but he's not held in the prison. He's being confined within a guarded area. Not only is he eating and sleeping well, but he said the cultivation resources they gave him are good as well. The only problem is the Qilin Clan doesn't allow him to leave…"

Duan Ling Tian asked, puzzled, "What happened? Did your grandfather explain?"

"According to grandfather…" Duan Si Ling said before pausing. Her voice turned rather strange as she continued to say, "After he ascended to the Ten Thousand Beast Heaven, the daughter of one of the Qilin Clan's elders took a liking to him. He was nearly killed by the members of the Qilin Clan but was saved by that elder's daughter. After that, he was brought to the Qilin Clan…"

'The daughter of an elder from the Qilin Clan brought him back to the clan?' Duan Ling Tian was stunned by Duan Si Ling's words. Apart from that, he wondered how his father ascended to the Ten Thousand Beasts Heaven when it was almost impossible for humans to ascend to the Ten Thousand Beasts Heaven?

After a while, realization dawned on Duan Ling Tian. 'That's right! The collisions of the Realms of Gods and the opening of the Realm Battlefield, the Nine Serenities Battlefield, and the Purgatory Battlefield must have messed things up. I was supposed to ascend to the Jade Emperor Heaven, but due to the collision, I was sent to the Spirit Overarching Heaven instead. Just like me, it must have been a fluke that father ascended to the Ten Thousand Beasts Heaven. Fortunately, the daughter of the elder from the Qilin Clan took a liking to him back then. Otherwise, he might not have survived…"

Although Duan Ru Feng was detained because the daughter of an elder of the Qilin Clan took a liking to him, Duan Ling Tian felt rather grateful. He knew if that was not the case, his father might have died.

Duan Ling Tian thought to himself wryly, 'Father's romantic luck is rather good… Who knew he would have such an encounter after being separated from mother…'

"Brother Ling Tian?" Little Gold called out.

Since Duan Ling Tian and Duan Si Ling had been communicating via Voice Transmission, Little Gold and Elder Huo naturally were unaware of what had happened.

"Everything is fine, Little Gold." Duan Ling Tian shook his head with a smile. "My father isn't in jail. He's being detained, but he's not in jail. He's just… not allowed to leave…"

"Not allowed to leave?" Little Gold frowned. "Brother Ling Tian, how can you say everything is fine when he's being detained? The Qilin Clan dominates the entire Ten Thousand Beasts Heaven…"

Although the dragon clan was widely acknowledged as a force to be reckoned with in the Ten Thousand Beasts Heaven, they were still no match for the Qilin Clan because the Qilin Clan had a supreme powerhouse in their ranks. It was said that there was a member of the dragon clan who became a supreme powerhouse a very long time ago. Unfortunately, the dragon clan's supreme powerhouse had perished. When he was still alive, the dragon clan was comparable to the Qilin Clan. In fact, among all the Devata Realms, the Ten Thousand Beasts Heavens produced the most supreme powerhouses.

"Little Gold…" Duan Ling Tian shook his head and explained everything to Little Gold.

Little Gold sighed in relief after listening to Duan Ling Tian's explanation. "I really did expect Uncle Ru Feng to have ascended to the Ten Thousand Beasts Heaven. I thought he had traveled here on his own accord. In fact, he's really lucky. I don't think there are any humans who survived after mistakenly ascending to the Ten Thousand Beasts Heaven. Uncle Ru Feng is still charming; even the daughter of an elder from the Qilin Clan took a liking to him. I wonder what Aunt Rou would think if she finds out about this? I wonder how Aunt Rou is doing after being separated from everyone…"

At the end of her words, Little Gold instinctively looked at Duan Ling Tian. When she saw the grave expression on his face, she hastily said, "Don't worry, Brother Ling Tian. Aunt Rou will be fine!"

Duan Ling Tian nodded before he asked, "Little Gold, how do we get to the Qilin Clan?"

Although Duan Ru Feng was not in any danger, it must be suffocating for him to lose his freedom. Therefore, Duan Ling Tian wanted to get his father out of the Qilin Clan. He decided to consult with Elder Huo. After all, Elder Huo was a subordinate of Feng Qing Yang, Duan Ling Tian's master.

After Duan Ling Tian revealed his thoughts to Elder Huo, Elder Huo frowned slightly. "The Qilin Clan is different from other heaven-grade forces. Although I've followed our Lord Heavenly Emperor for a long time now, I don't think any of the members of the Qilin Clan would recognize me, let alone the Heavenly Emperor of the Ten Thousand Beasts Heaven. I'll return to the Solitary Destructive Heaven to consult with Brother Meng Luo. He should have some contact with the Qilin Clan since he has been serving our Lord Heavenly Emperor longer than I did…"

After confirming a secured meeting place, Elder Huo returned to the Solitary Destructive Heaven. It only took a day before he returned to the Ten Thousands Beasts Heaven accompanied by Meng Luo, the Heavenly Savage Celestial Emperor.

Upon seeing Meng Luo, Duan Ling Tian smiled and said apologetically, "Senior Meng Luo, I'm sorry to have to trouble you…"

"Young Master, you're being too courteous. Your problems are also the Heavenly Palace's problems." Meng Luo smiled brightly. "Elder Huo has filled me in earlier. I've met some elders from the Qilin Clan before…"

Duan Ling Tian's eyes lit up as soon as he heard Meng Luo's words.

"Young Master," Meng Luo said, "I have something to report. While you were away, two little fellows from the dragon clan came to our Heavenly Palace. They call themselves Duan Xiao Hei and Duan Xiao Bai. I've arranged for them to stay in the palace while they wait for your return. Initially, I planned to bring them along, but I discovered they're in closed-door cultivation."

Little Gold laughed upon hearing Meng Luo's words.

Duan Ling Tian cupped his fists together at Meng Luo and said, "They're my little brother and little sister. Thank you, Senior Meng Luo."

Meng Luo said with a hint of helplessness, "Young Master, you're being too courteous with me."

…

Since Meng Luo had arrived, Duan Ling Tian did not waste time and made his way to the Qilin Clan's estate with the Meng Luo and Elder Huo after returning Little Gold to his Little World.

Duan Ling Tian wanted to arrive at the Qilin Clan as fast as he could so they decided to use a Transportation Formation that would transport them to the Transportation Formation closest to the Qilin Clan's estate.

Duan Ling Tian and the others were transported to a vast and barren mountain range. Although the area seemed desolate, the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy was rich.

"Young Master, the Qilin Clan's estate is up ahead."

Upon hearing these words, Duan Ling Tian could not help but ask, "There's an Emperor Grade Celestial Crystal Vein in the Qilin Clan's estate? Does this mean the literal location of the Heavenly Palace of the Ten Thousand Beasts Heaven is the Qilin Clan's estate?"

"No, the Heavenly Palace of the Ten Thousand Beasts Heaven is not located here," Meng Luo shook his head and said, "The Qilin Clan is one of the few lucky heaven-grade forces in the to possess an Emperor Grade Celestial Crystal Vein. The dragon clan in the Ten Thousand Beasts Heaven used to have an Emperor Grade Celestial Crystal vein, but it has been exhausted."

The Emperor Grade Celestial Crystal Vein could only produce a small number of Divine Crystals. However, due to the amount of time they had the Emperor Grade Celestial Crystal Vein, they had accumulated quite a lot of Divine Crystals.

When Duan Ling Tian and the others drew close to the Qilin Clan's estate, they were stopped by a group of patrolling disciples.

"I'm Meng Luo, the Heavenly Savage Celestial Emperor from the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven. I'm here to meet the Second Elder of the Qilin Clan, Di Yun Long."

"It's the Heavenly Savage Celestial Emperor," one of the patrolling disciples said.

Meng Luo was a prominent figure in the Devata Realms. One could see how famous he was that even a patrolling disciple recognized him. Due to his identity and reputation, the patrolling disciples were respectful to him even though he was human. After all, the cultivation world was where the strong were revered while the weak were preyed on. This was the same even in the Celestial Beasts-dominated Ten Thousand Beasts Heaven.
