"I've only been here twice, and it's been three years since the last time I was here … It's normal for my memory to be a little fuzzy."
Duan Lingtian casually answered Di Jue.
After answering Di Jue, Duan Lingtian, who was walking forward for a while, suddenly exclaimed without any reason, "That's right! It's here! "
Judging from his tone, it was as though he had discovered a new continent.
Di Jue's attention was also successfully attracted by him.
Di Jue saw Duan Lingtian walking to a group of seaweeds. Without any reason, he lifted his leg and stomped on the bottom of the sea.
Bang!
Accompanied by a loud bang, a shockwave that could be clearly seen in the water swept out from the center of Duan Lingtian's foot, causing the seawater to flow in all directions. It only calmed down after a while.
However, Di Jue's attention was not on this commotion right now.
His eyes were fixed on the distance where a gigantic pagoda appeared out of thin air. The moment it appeared, it shook the surrounding seawater.
The seawater slapped on the True Origin light shield on the surface of Di Jue's body and continued to flow away. However, Di Jue did not pay any attention to this at all. His eyes were completely attracted by the gigantic pagoda that appeared out of thin air in the distance.
The gigantic pagoda was divided into seven levels. It stood there like a gigantic beast.
Most importantly, Di Jue could clearly sense the aura that filled the gigantic pagoda.
This aura gave him an unfathomable feeling. It even caused him to tremble from the bottom of his heart for no reason.
"It's this pagoda."
At this moment, Duan Lingtian's voice resonated, "Back then, Di Yong and I didn't dare to go deeper after we entered … However, even then, we still found many Saint Weapons that were inscribed with Three-Star Saint Inscriptions at the outer perimeter."
"The place we've been to seems to be the outer perimeter of this pagoda. We didn't go deeper … At that time, Di Yong told me that there might be more treasures inside."
Duan Lingtian told Di Jue.
"Do you know the origin of this pagoda?"
Di Jue asked.
"I know."
Duan Lingtian nodded. "Not long after Di Yong and I entered, we discovered some ruins … All the signs pointed to the person who left this tower behind as Feng Qingyang."
"By the way, the signature he left behind seems to be something like 'Sword Sage'."
When Duan Ling Tian reached the end of his sentence, he added.
Feng Qingyang?
Sword Saint?
"Sword Saint Feng Qingyang!"
Upon hearing Duan Lingtian's words, Di Jue's eyes narrowed right away as a horrified expression appeared on his face. "Y-You … Are you sure that person left behind this signature?"
"Yes."
Duan Ling Tian nodded. At the same time, he asked with a puzzled expression, "Could it be that you know him?"
In the face of Duan Lingtian's question, Di Jue did not reply. His emotions were surging as his eyes gleamed brilliantly as he stared fixedly at the gigantic seven-story pagoda in the distance.
"Sword Saint Feng Qingyang … It's actually a ruin left behind by Sword Saint Feng Qingyang! Rumor has it that Sword Saint Feng Qingyang was once the strongest person in the Dao Martial Saint Land. During his era, nobody from the three sects and nine sects in the Dao Martial Saint Land could withstand a single strike from him. "
At this moment, Di Jue's heart was beating extremely fast. He could not suppress the excitement in his heart.
He did not find it strange that Duan Lingtian did not know about Sword Saint Feng Qingyang.
This was because even he had read about the Sword Saint Feng Qing Yang in some of the ancient books in the dragon clan. He knew that the Sword Saint Feng Qing Yang was an extremely talented Sword Cultivator who stunned the entire Dao Martial Saint Land for an era.
Rumor had it that Sword Saint Feng Qingyang had left behind some ruins in the Dao Martial Saint Land for those who were fated to find them.
"Could this be the ruin left behind by Sword Saint Feng Qingyang in the rumors?"
Di Jue stared at the gigantic seven-story pagoda with gleaming eyes like a hunter who had spotted his prey.
"Looks like he's heard of Sword Saint Feng Qingyang as well."
When Duan Lingtian saw Di Jue's expression, he sighed in relief inwardly.
As it turned out, he had made the right bet.
Since Di Jue knew about Sword Saint Feng Qingyang's existence, it was likely that he would not be able to see through the trap he had set up.
This trap was set up by Duan Lingtian at the last minute after being reminded by Huo Lao.
Speaking of which, this trap was very simple. It was to lure Di Jue into the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda and let Huo Lao deal with him.
Huo Lao's cultivation base had recovered a lot. Although it was still far from his prime, based on Huo Lao's tone, it was obvious that his current strength was not inferior to Di Jue.
This' scheme 'sounded simple, but when it was actually implemented, it was filled with difficulties.
The most important thing was to make Di Jue believe his words so that he would not resist the suction force of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda and allow it to suck him in.
As long as he was unwilling or vigilant, the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda would not be able to suck him in.
If he did not enter the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, this trap would fall apart on its own. Duan Lingtian's situation would be extremely dangerous again, or even more so, he would not be able to survive.
When he was on the way here, Duan Lingtian had been thinking about how to make Di Jue believe his words so that he would allow the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda to suck him in.
For this reason, he even blurted out that Di Yong's death was related to the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda.
Not only that, he even said that there was a great treasure hidden in the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda.
All of this was to lure the enemy in.
In order to make his words more convincing, he thought about it and brought up Sword Saint Feng Qingyang. He wanted to take a gamble and see if Di Jue had heard of him before.
Now, it seemed like he had made the right bet.
Di Jue knew about the existence of Sword Saint Feng Qingyang as well.
"You said that you found many Saint Weapons inscribed with Three-Star Saint Inscriptions in the outer perimeter when you entered the pagoda?"
Di Jue asked in a deep voice as he looked at Duan Lingtian with a gleam in his eyes.
Di Jue was very careful when he spoke.
Although Duan Lingtian secretly cursed Di Jue for being so careful, he did not hesitate. With a raise of his hand, he took out the Saint Weapon that belonged to the Moon Illumination Sect's inner court elder, Zhao Feng, and passed it to Di Jue. "This is the Saint Weapon that I obtained from inside … There's one Three-Star Saint Inscription and two Two-Star Saint Inscriptions on the Saint Weapon."
Di Jue took the Saint Weapon that Duan Lingtian passed to him. After observing it for a moment, he nodded. "There's indeed a Three-Star Saint Inscription … However, did you really obtain this from the pagoda?"
Even though Duan Lingtian had proven it, Di Jue was still very careful.
The Dragons were a tribe that was suspicious by nature.
As a Five-clawed Golden Dragon, Di Jue was also a member of the royal bloodline of the Dragons. His suspicious nature was even more so than the other members of the Dragons. Very few people could deceive him.
"I'm from the Mortal Continent. Do you think it's possible for me to obtain this Saint Weapon inscribed with Three-Star Saint Inscriptions from somewhere else?"
Upon hearing Di Jue's words, Duan Lingtian laughed at himself.
Naturally, this was just a facade on the surface. His heart had already become slightly heavy. He really did not expect Di Jue to be so careful.
Even though he had mentioned Sword Saint Feng Qingyang, Di Jue still did not believe him completely. From the beginning until the end, he had been very calm and careful.
Naturally, Duan Lingtian knew very well that he had to be even calmer at this moment. He could not be anxious at all.
As soon as he exposed a flaw, he would lose everything!
When Di Jue asked that question, his eyes were locked onto Duan Lingtian. He was observing the slight changes on Duan Lingtian's face. When he saw Duan Lingtian's self-deprecation did not seem to be fake, he secretly nodded his head.
He had been on Half Moon Island for a long time, so he had already investigated Duan Lingtian's origin thoroughly.
"My cultivation base is all thanks to a kind of herb in this tower … At that time, Di Yong and I both consumed that herb. Later on, my cultivation base improved tremendously, and so did Di Yong's. Three years ago, after he consumed the herb, his cultivation base was already at the Perfection Saint Rudiment Stage. "
"If he's still alive, he'd definitely be at the Saint Stage now."
When Duan Lingtian reached the end of his sentence, he sighed emotionally again.
"No wonder your cultivation base improved so quickly."
After taking a deep look at Duan Lingtian, Di Jue could not help but have a hint of greed in his eyes.
That miraculous herb tempted him. Perhaps, it would be helpful to him as well.
He had investigated Duan Lingtian's background thoroughly. He also knew that Duan Lingtian's cultivation base had not even broken through to the Mortal Shedding Stage before he left Half Moon Island.
Three years ago, a Mortal Continent's Martial Cultivator who had not broken through to the Mortal Shedding Stage had broken through to the Perfection Saint Rudiment Stage three years later.
When Di Yong first saw Duan Lingtian, he was also in disbelief.
However, the truth was right in front of his eyes, so he had no choice but to believe it.
At that time, he had already guessed that Duan Lingtian might have obtained some kind of fortuitous encounter.
Now, it seemed like the seven-story giant tower was his fortuitous encounter.
Right now, the suspicion in Di Jue's heart had lessened a lot.
Of course, this was also because until now, Duan Lingtian had not revealed any flaws at all.
Every sentence that Duan Lingtian said was just like pushing the boat along with the current. It was as if he was answering the questions in Di Jue's heart.
Of course, Di Jue did not voice these questions out loud. Everything was just Duan Lingtian's speculation.
At this moment, Duan Lingtian and Di Jue were engaged in a battle without smoke. It was also a battle of wits.
"Unfortunately, although there are many kinds of herbs, Di Yong and I realized that only the first one would be effective. For this reason, we've even wasted more than ten herbs. When I left with him, there were less than ten stalks of herbs left. "
When Duan Lingtian saw the greed that flashed across Di Jue's eyes, he continued to push the boat along with the current.
As expected, Di Jue's eyes lit up when he heard his words. He cursed in his heart, 'Wastrel!'
When Di Jue first came to Half Moon Island, he had almost lost his mind and killed everyone on Half Moon Island just to vent his anger so that a group of people would be buried with his son.
However, he had calmed down in the end. When he realized that Feng Wu Dao and the rest had returned to Half Moon Island, he did not make a move on them.
For almost a year, he had been patiently hiding and waiting at the side.
At that time, he had also regained his rationality and was determined to find out the truth behind his son's death.
