War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

After Feng Qing Yang entered the Asura Hell, not only did he manage to survive, but he even managed to attain godhood there after stumbling across a place. That place was the only safe place in the Asura Hell.

Outside of that safe place, the Asura Hell was deadly even to ordinary gods, let alone celestials who had yet to attain godhood. Normally, no celestial would have been able to survive the Asura Hell.

However, it had to be said that Feng Qing Yang surviving the Asura Hell had more to do with his Sword Dao than him just being lucky for stumbling upon the only safe place in the Asura Hell. His Sword Dao had saved him after all. Otherwise, he would have died before he even found that safe place.

Since Feng Qing Yang had gotten familiar with the Asura Hell, it was possible for him to bring another person with him there. In the past, he had also brought Meng Luo, the Heavenly Savage Celestial Emperor, to that place. Alas, perhaps, it was due to Meng Luo's limited talent or comprehension skill, it did not take long before the Asura Hell took a toll on Meng Luo. Therefore, Feng Qing Yang could only send Meng Luo out.

"Meng Luo's innate talent and comprehension skills aren't bad, but he can't compare to Duan Ling Tian." Feng Qing Yang clearly had a lot of confidence in his disciple.

…

Duan Ling Tian who was busy in the Sword Mark Canyon was naturally unaware of Feng Qing Yang's thoughts.

Apart from cultivating and comprehending the law of space, staring at the sword marks around him was all he did. Since one would become easily exhausted if one spent too much time on one thing, and as a result would affect the results, he switched between the three tasks to ensure his progress would not be hindered.

"I've neglected the Sovereign Heart Sword for too long… After I picked up the Sovereign Heart Sword again recently, I've gained a different insight on these sword marks," Duan Ling Tian muttered to himself as he looked at the sword marks around him.

Previously, he had studied the sword marks for a long time but did not gain any insight. Eventually, he recalled the Sovereign Heart Sword that he relied on during his time in the mundane realm.

The Sovereign Heart Sword was the legacy Feng Qing Yang left in the mundane realm. Since he was trying to comprehend Feng Qing Yang's Sword Dao, he felt that Feng Qing Yang's Sovereign Sword Heart that he had learned in the mundane realm would help him gain insight here.

The Sovereign Heart Sword had helped him tremendously when he first ascended to the Devata Realm. However, as his cultivation base improved, the Sovereign Heart Sword was soon replaced by Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities. When he started to comprehend the profundities of the law, the Sovereign Heart Sword became useless to him. All in all, it had been 400 years since he had last used the Sovereign Heart Sword! Therefore, although he had mastered the Sovereign Heart Sword in the past, due to the 400-year neglect, it took him a while to familiarize himself with the technique again.

After he familiarized himself with the Sovereign Heart Sword, he discovered he could somewhat understand the marks around him, helping him to slowly grasp the mysteries they contain.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Duan Ling Tian practiced the sword skills he learned from the sword markings in his surroundings. Whenever he practiced with his sword, he looked like a Sword Celestial. His sword rays that were boosted with the law of space were as dazzling as the sun.

Since Duan Ling Tian specialized in the law of space, he learned to fuse profundities such as the Teleportation Profundity, the Transportation Profundity, and the Cross-Dimensional Slash Profundity with the sword styles he learned through the sword markings.

As time passed, Duan Ling Tian continued to progress. Sometimes, he would reach a bottleneck, but he would persevere until he achieved a breakthrough.

…

"His comprehension skills are indeed good."

During this time, Feng Qing Yang would frequently check in on Duan Ling Tian. In order to avoid disturbing Duan Ling Tian, he would only observe from outside of the Formation.

Naturally, Duan Ling Tian was unaware that his master had been watching frequently.

…

In just a blink of an eye, another 100 years had passed.

Since Duan Ling Tian had fully immersed himself in cultivating, he had lost all track of time. His only contact with the outside world was when Feng Qing Yang came to deliver Celestial Fruits and Celestial Pills.

At this moment, Feng Qing Yang suddenly appeared. He said, "Stop cultivating for now… Come with me. There's a special event in the Title Temple. I'll bring you with me to join the fun…"

Duan Ling Tian looked at Feng Qing Yang, bewildered. "Master, what event are you talking about?"

"The Title Temple will hold an event called the Devata Realms' Battle of The Geniuses. It only happens once every 1,000 years. Many geniuses below the age of 1,000 will gather at that time. The Title Temple will reward the winner of the Battle of the Geniuses with an Exploding Element Celestial Fruit… Your cultivation speed is shockingly fast, and you're now a Nine Palaces Celestial Emperor. With the Exploding Element Celestial Fruit, you'll be able to break through and become a Ten Directions Celestial Emperor in a matter of days!" Feng Qing Yang said with a smile on his face, "An ordinary Celestial Emperor can break through three stages with the Exploding Element Celestial Fruit. In fact, not only is the Exploding Element Celestial Fruit extremely valuable in the Devata Realms, but it's considered valuable even in the Realms of Gods. I didn't expect the Title Temple would use it as a reward for the Devata Realms' Battle of the Geniuses."

Feng Qing Yang continued to say as his eyes lit up, "If I'm not mistaken, there'll be many outstanding geniuses during this time's Battle of the Geniuses. Otherwise, the Title Temple won't be so generous with their reward. In my opinion, they must be planning to use the Devata Realms' Battle of the Geniuses to gather outstanding talents. I bet they won't expect that the most outstanding talent under the age of 1,000 years old is with the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven!" He sounded very confident when he spoke about Duan Ling Tian.

Although Feng Qing Yang was not completely clear about Duan Ling Tian's current strength, since Duan Ling Tian was already capable of heavily injuring and killing titled Celestial Emperors 300 years ago, how could Duan Ling Tian be weak now?

Although Feng Qing Yang had been keeping an eye on Duan Ling Tian's progress over the past years, he was not sure how many types of fused profundities from the law of space Duan Ling Tian had comprehended. However, based on how flawless Duan Ling Tian's control over each of the profundities was, he knew Duan Ling Tian must have made tremendous progress with the law of space.

"The Exploding Element Celestial Fruit?" Duan Ling Tian's eyes brightened when he heard Feng Qing Yang's words. He had heard about the Devata Realms' Battle of the Geniuses from Hong Fei, his Sixth Junior Brother, while he was still in the Heavenly Pool Palace. It was a prestigious event in the Devata Realms that was held once every 1,000 years. He had first heard about it a few hundred years ago. In just a blink of an eye, it was almost time for the Battle of the Geniuses to start.

It was said that only outstanding geniuses under 1,000 years old would all participate in the Devata Realms' Battle of the Geniuses. For example, there were many prodigious disciples in the Heavenly Pool Palace under the age of 1,000. However, in the long history of the Heavenly Pool Palace, not one of their prodigious disciple managed to rank in the top 1,000 in the Devata Realms' Battle of the Geniuses.

Although the Heavenly Pool Palace was considered a mediocre heaven-grade force in the Devata Realms, they had the support of the Heavenly Palace of the Boundless Heaven. One could only imagine how outstanding the participants were that not one of the prodigious disciples from the Heaven Pool Palace managed to enter the top 1,000.

Only the top 100 participants would be rewarded by the Title Temple.

"The Devata Realm Battle Of The Geniuses will commence in a year?" Duan Ling Tian asked Feng Qing Yang, "Master, in which Devata Realm will the Battle of the Geniuses be held this time?"

Based on what Duan Ling Tian knew, the 81 Devata Realms would take turns to host the Devata Realms' Battle of the Geniuses in their respective Heavenly Palaces. This was a tradition of old. The Title Temple and the Devata Realms' Battle of the Geniuses had existed for so long that it predated many of the 81 Heavenly Emperors.

"The Primeval Heaven," Feng Qing Yang replied.

"The Primeval Heaven?" Duan Ling Tian narrowed his eyes as the memories from 300 years ago flooded into his mind. At that time, he had brought Elder Huo with him to various Devata Realms in search of his family and friends. When they were in the Primeval Heaven, Elder Huo had said, "Young Master, do you remember when you obtained the Elementary Devouring Tactic, I told you that it's the foundation of the Advanced Devouring Tactic? I even told you that one of the Devata Realms' Heavenly Emperor specializes in the Advanced Devouring Tactic; that Heavenly Emperor is a Divine Beast. Some suspected he has already attained godhood, but nothing has been confirmed. He's the Heavenly Emperor of the Primeval Heaven!"
