War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

The interior of the Sect's Affairs Pavilion was very spacious. Quite a few people with the Pure Yang Sect's identity tokens could be seen inside.

During their journey here, Duan Ling Tian noticed that the identity tokens of the Pure Yang Sect were mostly similar with a few differences to indicate ranks. All identity tokens, including Zhen Ping Fan's, had a Yin Yang symbol on their four corners.

"Elder Zhao Lu."

When Zhao Lu walked, many people greeted him. At the same time, many of them also looked at Duan Ling Tian curiously. It did not take long before they began to gather and speculate about his identity.

"Who's he? To think he's accompanied by Elder Zhao…"

"He doesn't carry an identity token from our sect so he must not be a member of our sect."

"Yesterday, I heard that Elder Qin Wu Yang from the Cloud Peak faction brought Duan Ling Tian, who recently rose in fame in the Eastern Ridge Mansion, back to our sect from the Flying Dragon Sect. He must be Duan Ling Tian!"

"Duan Ling Tian? He's the one who killed two intermediate Lords of Gods even though he's just a rudimentary Lord of Gods, right?"

"It's him! I watched the recording of his battle with the two intermediate Lords of Gods. Even if the recording was not very clear, his frame and clothes are similar!"

"There's no doubt he's Duan Ling Tian…"

Duan Ling Tian did not expect to cause a stir as soon as he entered the Sect's Affairs Pavilion with Zhao Lu.

More and more people gathered, looking and pointing at Duan Ling Tian as though he was an exhibit in a circus. However, he was not bothered at all and remained expressionless.

On the contrary, Zhao Lu's expression darkened slightly as he said, "I came to help Duan Ling Tian with his registration. If you have nothing better to do here, you should leave."

......

As a Spirit Void Elder, Zhao Lu's words still carried some weight. Since he had spoken, many people began to disperse or went back to their businesses. However, they still could not help but look at Duan Ling Tian from the corners of their eyes.

With Zhao Lu's help, the registration went smoothly. The elder on duty confirmed Duan Ling Tian's identity and completed the formalities quickly before handing Duan Ling Tian an ordinary disciple identity token.

In the Pure Yang Sects, there were only ordinary disciples and True Martial Disciples. Among ordinary disciples, there were not only gods and Kings of Gods, but Lords of Gods as well. Their identity tokens would further show their cultivation bases as god disciples, king disciples, or lord disciples.

As for descendants of high-ranking officials who had yet to attain godhood in the Pure Yang Sect, they were not considered official disciples of the Pure Yang Sect until they attained godhood. Before doing so, they were only staying in the Pure Yang Sect with the identity of a family member.

The Pure Yang Sect had strict rules about family members living in the sect's estate as well. Only those at or above the level of a Lord of Gods were allowed to bring their family members to stay in the sect's estate. For Lords of Gods, they could bring immediate relatives into the sect's estate. As for Emperors of Gods, they could bring immediate and distant relatives into the sect's estate if they so wished. They could invite their friends to stay in the sect's estate. This was one of the privileges of Emperors of Gods in the Pure Yang Sect.

True Martial Disciples were all extraordinary Lords of Gods. Ordinary Lords of Gods would find it difficult to become a True Martial Disciple. The test to become a True Martial Disciple also depended on one's age.

For example, when Lan Xi Lin first became a rudimentary Lord of Gods, he had failed the True Martial test once. He took the test again several hundred years ago and barely passed. The test would get progressively harder along with one's age.

For this reason, Zhao Lu was confident that Duan Ling Tian would easily pass the test due to Duan Ling Tian's young age.

"Duan Ling Tian!"

After completing the registration and obtaining the identity token, Duan Ling Tian and Zhao Lu were about to leave when they were stopped by a chubby middle-aged man of an average height.

The chubby middle-aged man wore a bright smile on his face, and his small eyes made him look cunning.

A young man stood behind the chubby middle-aged man.

Zhao Luu looked at the person in front of him expressionlessly and asked, "Huang Feng, what do you want?"

At this time, Duan Ling Tian saw the Spirit Void Elder identity token hanging by the chubby middle-aged man's waist. This meant that the chubby middle-aged man was also an advanced Lord of Gods.

"Junior Brother Zhao, why do you ask when you already know the answer?" Huang Feng, the chubby middle-aged man, asked with a grin. Then, he added, "If you really want an answer, why don't you look for my master? I came here on his orders, after all."

Huang Feng's words caused Zhao Lu's expression to darken, and Zhao Lu did not speak anymore.

Huang Feng was the granddisciple of a Nirvanice Elder, a rudimentary Emperor of Gods, who was a leader of a faction. His master was a Transcendence Elder who was very protective. Hence, although Zhao Lu was stronger, he did not cause trouble unnecessarily since it was just a trivial matter.

Seeing that Zhao Lu no longer spoke, Huang Feng looked at Duan Ling Tian and smiled before he said loudly, "Duan Ling Tian, I'm Huang Feng from the Yu Yang faction. My leader has said that if you're willing to join us, he'll accept you as his direct disciple. With that, many of the members of our faction, including Spirit Void Elders, will have to address you as junior uncle."

The ranks of seniority often did not have anything to do with one's age in the Pure Yang Sect.

Despite his young age, if Duan Ling Tian became the direct disciple of an Emperor of Gods with a high rank in the Pure Yang Sect, his seniority would rise and he would gain a group of juniors. For example, even Huang Feng, Zhao Lu, and Qin Wu Yang would have to address him as junior uncle.

Duan Ling Tian did not say anything.

Instead, Zhao Lu smiled coldly and asked, "Huang Feng, is that all the Yu Yang faction has to offer?"

After all, many Emperors of Gods in the Pure Yang Sect would gladly accept Duan Ling Tian as their direct disciple. After all, they would definitely benefit from having such an outstandingly talented disciple. Moreover, when Duan Ling Tian made great contributions to the sect, not just Duan Ling Tian, but they would enjoy the glory as well. Their names would be forever remembered in history. Hence, the offer was nothing special.

Huang Feng ignored Zhao Lu. He looked at Duan Ling Tian and continued to say, "Apart from that, we will also give you two million divine crystals…"

Many of the people in the surroundings who were eavesdropping were shocked upon hearing this.

"The Yu Yang faction is too generous!"

"Is Duan Ling Tian really worth so much? Although he killed two intermediate Lords of Gods despite having a weaker cultivation base, who can say for sure his two opponents didn't have hidden injuries. Although the Flying Dragon Sect said it was a fair fight, they could just be bragging. They definitely would not say anything negative about him."

"I agree. Regardless of his feats, I don't think it's worth it to spend so much to recruit a rudimentary Lord of Gods."

Many people shook their heads as they whispered among themselves.

All of a sudden, someone said in a hushed tone, "You probably don't know about the Yu Yang faction's situation, do you? The only Emperor of Gods in that faction, a Nirvanic Elder, was injured during his last Heavenly Tribulation. It's said that he has 18,000 years left to live at most."

These words caused an uproar immediately.

"Is this true?"

"If it's true, then I can understand their actions."

Although everyone was speaking in hushed voices, how could Huang Feng not hear them with his cultivation base? His expression darkened immediately as he swept his gaze across the crowd.

The crowd fell silent immediately. Naturally, they did not stop gossiping through Voice Transmission.

"Based on Elder Huang's expression, I think it must be true!"

"Is the Yu Yang faction planning to recruit Duan Ling Tian and groom him into the next faction leader?"

"I think so. After all, he's very talented. He's not even 3,000 years old, but he's already a rudimentary Lord of Gods. With such talent, it's not impossible for the Yu Yang faction to cultivate him into an Emperor of Gods within 10,000 years if they give him the best resources…"

"That's right. If the leader of the Yu Yang faction passes, the faction will still have a successor and won't needto disband."

Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian was also taken aback when Huang Feng offered him two million divine crystals. He could not help but wonder, 'Are all Emperors of Gods in the Pure Yang Sect so wealthy?'

Previously, apart from divine rocks, Zhen Ping Fan gave him ten million divine crystals, including the one million divine crystals that he used to repay the Linghu clan. Now, the Yu Yang faction offered him two million divine crystals. The two million divine crystals were naturally from Huang Feng's grandmaster, the only Emperor of Gods in the Yu Yang faction.

Zhao Lu could not help but frown as well. He did not expect the Yu Yang faction would be so determined to recruit Duan Ling Tian.
