Although Gu Li did not go to the scene of the Rising Sky Ranking Battle, he had seen the scene through the Mirror Image Talisman his friend had recorded.
Although the scene was intermittent, he had witnessed how Duan Lingtian killed Xu Jing, the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion, with his own eyes. Even a Great Overarching Celestial would not be able to save Xu Jing when the sword pierced through his glabella.
Due to this reason, Gu Li immediately refuted Duan Lingtian when he said Xu Jing was not dead.
Duan Lingtian was not surprised by Gu Li's reaction. He smiled faintly and asked, "Senior Brother Gu Li, have you heard of the Soul Congregation technique?"
"Soul Congregation technique?"
Gu Li was stunned when he heard Duan Lingtian's words. Then, his eyes widened as he looked at Duan Lingtian in shock. "Junior Brother Ling Tian, you mean Xu Jing, the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion, knows the Soul Congregation technique?"
"Yes."
Duan Lingtian nodded.
"But how's that possible? I've never heard of any Devil Dao Cultivation Method that has a Soul Congregation technique in the Dobusei Subterranean before. As far as I know, the Devil Dao Cultivation Methods that have records of the Soul Congregation technique are all profound Devil Dao Cultivation Methods that only appear in the Upper Province. "
Gu Li had heard of the Soul Congregation technique before, but he found it hard to believe there was someone in the Dobusei Subterranean who knew the Soul Congregation technique.
"Nothing is absolute."
Duan Lingtian sighed and said, "Senior Brother Gu Li, since your friend was there, I'm sure you've heard of Xu Jing's improvement in just a year."
"Yes."
Gu Li nodded. "I heard from my friend that Gu Li has cultivated from the Early Refined Saint Stage to the peak of the Refined Saint Stage in just a year. Don't tell me it's because he has cultivated a profound Devil Dao Cultivation Method that he has such an improvement?"
As he spoke, Gu Li came to a realization.
"The Devil Dao Cultivation Method that he cultivates is definitely not an ordinary Devil Dao Cultivation Method … However, even if it's the best Devil Dao Cultivation Method in the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land, it's impossible for an Early Refined Saint Stage Devil Cultivator to break through three stages consecutively to the peak of the Refined Saint Stage in just one year if he doesn't take a shortcut."
Duan Lingtian said with a solemn expression, "Therefore, I suspect that Xu Jing must have cultivated an extremely extraordinary Devil Dao Cultivation Method … That Devil Dao Cultivation Method is very likely to be the kind of Devil Dao Cultivation Method that is universally condemned. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to have such a huge improvement! Of course, this is only my guess. "
"If my guess is wrong, then he must have had some other amazing fortuitous encounter."
Duan Lingtian added.
"An amazing adventure in the Dobusei Subterranean?"
Gu Li shook his head. "Compared to the latter, I'm more inclined to the former. He must have cultivated some profound Devil Dao Cultivation Method! I don't know much about this kind of Devil Dao Cultivation Method. I'll ask Grand Ancestor if there's any Devil Dao Cultivation Method in the Lower Province that has the Soul Congregation technique. Grand Ancestor has lived for a long time so he must know more than me. "
"However, since Xu Jing didn't die, why did the Rising Sky Mansion allow the news of Xu Jing's death to spread and not refute it?"
Gu Li was puzzled by this.
"It's not difficult to deduce."
Duan Lingtian said, "Xu Jing must have cultivated a Devil Dao Cultivation Method that has the Soul Congregation technique. That's why he managed to escape death! If this news spreads, it won't be a good thing for the Rising Sky Mansion. "
"Why didn't I think of this?"
Before Duan Lingtian could finish speaking, Gu Li interrupted Duan Lingtian as realization dawned on him. "If the news of Xu Jing's survival spreads out, people will definitely link the Soul Congregation technique to Gu Li's survival. The Soul Congregation technique only exists in those profound Devil Dao Cultivation Methods.
Once the news of Xu Jing mastering the Devil Dao Cultivation Method spreads out, the Rising Sky Mansion will definitely become a target for everyone. At that time, let alone the other fourth-rate forces, even the quasi third-rate forces including our Mystical Sky Mansion will be interested in the Devil Dao Cultivation Method that Xu Jing mastered.
Gu Li was not stupid. When he heard Duan Lingtian's words, he immediately came to a realization.
"That's right."
Duan Lingtian nodded before he scoffed. "The people from the Rising Sky Mansion aren't stupid."
"So what if they're not stupid? There's no such thing as an absolute secret in this world. Even if they tried to hide it, we still found out about it. “
Gu Li smiled before he looked at Duan Lingtian. The smile on his face disappeared as his expression turned solemn. "Junior Brother Ling Tian, I learned about this from you. For this reason, I'd like to ask for your opinion. Can I tell my father about this and ask him to inform Lord Mansion Master?"
"If that Devil Dao Cultivation Method is really a heinous and heartless method, it's better for the Mystical Sky Mansion to keep it than for it to spread outside. If it's not a cruel Devil Dao Cultivation Method, it'll undoubtedly be a great gain for the Mystical Sky Mansion if it's just a pure top Devil Dao Cultivation Method. "
When Gu Li reached the end of his sentence, he looked at Duan Lingtian solemnly.
"Senior Brother Gu Li, before I reply to you, I'd like to ask you a question."
Duan Lingtian's expression suddenly turned solemn as he looked at Gu Li intently.
"Speak."
When Gu Li saw how solemn Duan Lingtian was, he became serious as well.
"I want to know, if it's confirmed that the Devil Dao Cultivation Method Xu Jing has cultivated is a heinous and heartless one and the Mystical Sky Mansion has obtained it, would the Mystical Sky Mansion allow someone to cultivate the Devil Dao Cultivation Method?"
Duan Lingtian asked.
Although the Dao Martial Saint Land valued the strong and killing and being killed was a common occurrence, the Devil Dao Cultivation Method was a heinous and heartless method.
However, some deranged demonic cultivation methods had already reached the point of inhumanity. As long as one was a normal person, they would not be able to accept that kind of demonic cultivation method.
"No."
Gu Li shook his head. "Junior Brother Ling Tian, you've just entered the Mystical Sky Mansion not long ago, so you might not know this yet. Many years ago, during the battle between the Dobusei Subterranean and the inhumane Devil Dao Cultivation Method, the ancestor of the current Mansion Master of Mystical Sky Mansion was a powerhouse from the Righteous Sect.
Due to this reason, as long as Lord Mansion Master is around, even if our Mystical Sky Mansion obtains that Devil Dao Cultivation Method, nobody will be able to cultivate it since Lord Mansion Master won't allow it. "
Gu Li added.
Upon hearing Gu Li's words, Duan Lingtian finally felt at ease. "Since that's the case, I don't have any objections. Speaking of which, this is actually a good thing for me. It's fine if the Rising Sky Mansion cooperates with the Mystical Sky Mansion, but if they don't, I'm afraid they'll be annihilated.
Whether they cooperate or not, they'll still be annihilated. "
Gu Li's eyes gleamed as he said.
"Huh?"
Duan Lingtian was stunned. "If they cooperate and hand over the Devil Dao Cultivation Method, we'll still have to annihilate them?"
"Anyone from the Rising Sky Mansion who knows about the Devil Dao Cultivation Method won't be able to survive. After all, even if our Mystical Sky Mansion obtains the Devil Dao Cultivation Method, we don't want everyone to know about it. In the Dobusei Subterranean, there's still the Mountainshade Black Market and the Azure Cloud Mansion above our Mystical Sky Mansion. If they find out we've obtained the Devil Dao Cultivation Method, they'll definitely come and get a share of it. "
Gu Li continued to say, "An ordinary man is innocent, but he's guilty because of his wealth. Junior Brother Ling Tian, you should know about this."
Duan Lingtian nodded. This was also the reason the Rising Sky Mansion was targeted by the Mystical Sky Mansion.
Although the Rising Sky Mansion was a fourth-rate force, it was nothing in front of a quasi third-rate force.
Due to the fact that Xu Jing had cultivated the Devil Dao Cultivation Method that contained the Soul Congregation technique, Gu Li was in a hurry to look for his father. For this reason, Duan Lingtian quickly parted ways with Gu Li and returned to his own residence.
"The Saint Martial Secret Zone will open in ten days."
Duan Lingtian was looking forward to the opening of the Saint Martial Secret Zone in ten days. Naturally, he was looking forward to the various Divine Ability Relics in there and the difficulties and obstacles he would encounter in his search for the Divine Ability Relics.
In other words, it was a test!
As far as he knew, there were ancient Formations everywhere in the Saint Martial Secret Zone. The Divine Ability Relics in there were all sorts of tests set up using ancient Formations. Only those who passed the tests and made it to the end would have the chance to stand in front of the Divine Ability Relic.
If there was more than one person standing in front of the Divine Ability Relic, the person who made it to the end would have to fight for the ownership of the Divine Ability Relic.
"The Saint Martial Secret Zone is a secret zone that has been passed down since ancient times. It's said that one can even project one's clone in there. If one's clone is killed in the Saint Martial Secret Zone, the clone will be destroyed, and the soul will return to the original body. However, at the same time, the clone will be eliminated!"
This was one of the reasons Duan Lingtian was looking forward to the Saint Martial Secret Zone.
Projecting a clone!
What kind of technique was that?
Duan Lingtian found it hard to imagine. At the same time, he wanted to give it a try. "It's said that the existence of the Saint Martial Secret Zone can be traced back to ancient times. Nobody knows exactly what era it was. At the very least, although the books in the Main Mansion's library in the Mystical Sky Mansion mention the Saint Martial Secret Zone, nobody knows how long the Saint Martial Secret Zone has existed and who created it."
Ever since Duan Lingtian left the Main Mansion's library, he had been looking forward to the Saint Martial Secret Zone.
Now that he had obtained a chance to enter the Saint Martial Secret Zone and would officially enter in ten days, it was only natural that he was excited.
"Apart from that, it seems like I don't need to deal with Xu Jing, the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion."
Duan Lingtian muttered to himself when he recalled the matter he had told Gu Li earlier.
With the Mystical Sky Mansion's interference, the Rising Sky Mansion would definitely not end well this time. As the person involved, Xu Jing would definitely not be able to escape death.
When a Divine Saint Stage powerhouse mainly cultivated their Spiritual Energy and Divine Consciousness, they would be able to cast the Soul Searching Secret Tactic and easily pry open the mouth of others.
Naturally, there were very few Divine Saint Stage powerhouses like that.
If it was a powerhouse at the Exemplary Saint Stage or above, even if they did not cultivate their Spiritual Energy and Divine Consciousness, they would still be able to cast the Soul Searching Secret Tactic easily.
With the Soul Searching Secret Tactic, there was no need to worry about Xu Jing not opening his mouth.
