"It seems like it's not peaceful here."
At the same time, Wang Fei Xuan had also discovered the few people hiding in the dark. She immediately said to Duan Lingtian.
"Indeed, it's not peaceful here."
Duan Lingtian nodded. He had long discovered these few people, but he did not point it out.
"They must be from the Zhao Clan. Based on their auras, I can tell they must be at the Eminent Saint Stage or above! It seems like the Zhao Clan is going to make a move on you. "
Wang Fei Xuan said solemnly. She was worried for Duan Lingtian. "From today onward, you have to be careful."
"It's fine."
Duan Lingtian shook his head casually. "Even the Zhao Clan won't dare to make a move on me in the Mystical Sky Mansion's estate. After all, there's the Mystical Sky Mansion's rules. They won't challenge the Mystical Sky Mansion's authority just to make a move on me."
"You're right, but even a cornered dog will jump over a wall! Moreover, don't leave the Mystical Sky Mansion's estate during this period of time to avoid any accidents. "
Wang Fei Xuan reminded him. Based on her words, it seemed like she was more worried about his safety than Duan Lingtian.
"Don't worry. I have some things to do, so I don't have time to leave the Mystical Sky Mansion's estate."
Duan Lingtian replied.
That was the truth.
He had come out of his closed-door cultivation to look for Gu Li because he wanted to know how many materials Gu Li and his father had found for him to repair the fourth level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda. At the same time, he wanted to know how many materials Meng Qing, the Mansion Master of Mystical Sky Mansion, had helped him find.
Meng Qing had given out orders to search for materials for Duan Lingtian. After the materials were sent back to the Mystical Sky Mansion's estate, they would be gathered in Gu Li's hands and passed to Duan Lingtian by Gu Li.
This was also what Duan Lingtian had suggested to Meng Qing.
After all, no matter what, Meng Qing was still the Mansion Master of Mystical Sky Mansion. It was impossible for him to help Duan Lingtian collect those materials.
Recently, Duan Lingtian had no intention of going out.
The first reason was to send the materials into the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda so that Huo Lao could repair the fourth level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda.
The second reason was because he had already reached the critical point of a breakthrough. He was only a hair's breadth away from successfully breaking through to the Intermediate Refined Saint Stage!
Once he had broken through to the Intermediate Refined Saint Stage, his strength would improve as well.
"Then where are you going?"
When Wang Fei Xuan heard Duan Lingtian said he did not have time to leave the Mystical Sky Mansion's estate, she sighed in relief.
She could see that Duan Lingtian was preparing to leave the Heavenly Hall.
"I'm going to the main residence to look for Senior Apprentice-Brother Gu Li."
Duan Lingtian said.
"Alright, I won't disturb you then. Go ahead. It's time for me to go back and cultivate so I can break through as soon as possible!"
Wang Fei Xuan nodded and bade farewell to Duan Lingtian.
Duan Lingtian nodded and turned around to leave.
Wang Fei Xuan only regained her senses when Duan Lingtian's silhouette disappeared from her sight. She retracted her dazed gaze.
"What an unromantic block of wood!"
After retracting her gaze, Wang Fei Xuan was slightly annoyed. It was rare for her to act like a little girl. "I wonder how he managed to woo his two fiancées and his confidante. Don't tell me they're also the ones who woo him?"
Wang Fei Xuan stomped her feet before she turned around and returned to her residence.
The moment Wang Fei Xuan left, the few Mystical Sky Mansion's disciples from Zhao Clan who were hiding in the dark immediately flew in the direction Duan Lingtian had left and followed Duan Lingtian from afar.
"They're following me?"
Duan Lingtian instantly noticed the few 'tails' behind him. He frowned slightly, but he did not bother about them.
If they were to fight, although he would not be at a disadvantage, he would not be able to teach them a painful lesson.
After all, the Mystical Sky Mansion had a rule that forbade killing and maiming of fellow disciples in the Mystical Sky Mansion's estate.
If they violated the rule, they would be severely punished!
"Isn't he leaving the estate?"
When they saw Duan Lingtian had entered the Main Mansion and had no intention of leaving the Mystical Sky Mansion's estate, they were instantly disappointed.
Although they were slightly dispirited, they still followed him from afar. They only came to a halt when they saw Duan Lingtian had gone northeast of the Main Mansion.
"Isn't that Guardian Gu's cultivation place?"
"Gu Li who's ranked first on the Mystical Sky Ranking lives there as well."
"I've long heard that Ling Tian has a good relationship with Gu Li. It seems like he has no intention of leaving the Mystical Sky Mansion after coming out of closed-door cultivation this time. He's only here to look for Gu Li."
…
The Mystical Sky Mansion's Guardian, Gu Ci Yun, was someone who was on par with Zhao Jin, the leader of the Zhao Clan. Even if they were given a hundred guts, they would not dare to go near Gu Ci Yun's cultivation place.
After waiting for a long time, the few of them left one after another when Duan Lingtian still did not come out.
At the same time, the news of Ling Tian coming out of closed-door cultivation also swept through the Zhao Clan like a hurricane.
The entire Zhao Clan was in an uproar immediately.
Naturally, Duan Lingtian was unaware of all this.
At this moment, he was taking a Spatial Ring from Gu Li.
The things inside the Spatial Ring were the materials that the Mystical Sky Mansion had gathered with the strength of the entire Mansion.
To be more precise, they were the materials to repair the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda.
"Junior Brother Ling Tian, if it wasn't for the Mansion Master's help, I'm afraid my father and I wouldn't even be able to gather one-tenth of the materials inside in such a short time."
After Gu Li passed the Spatial Ring to Duan Lingtian, he sighed emotionally.
"No matter what, I still have to thank Senior Brother Gu Li. By the way, where's Uncle Gu? Why don't I see him? "
From the beginning until the end, Duan Lingtian did not see Gu Ci Yun at all.
"My father went out some time ago, and he should only be back in a few days. Why? Are you looking for him? "
Gu Li asked.
"Nothing."
Duan Lingtian shook his head. "I'm just asking."
"Senior Brother Gu Li, how's your cultivation progress?"
Duan Lingtian asked, changing the topic.
Previously, Gu Li had mentioned to him that once he had broken through to the Divine Saint Stage, he would leave the Mystical Sky Mansion and the Dobusei Subterranean to make his way to the Upper Province.
Currently, Gu Li's cultivation base was already at the peak of the Eminent Saint Stage. He was only a step away from the Divine Saint Stage!
"It's still the same … I'll need at least two years to make a breakthrough."
Gu Li smiled. "Junior Brother Ling Tian, you should hurry up and break through to the Eminent Saint Stage as well. At that time, I'll be going to the Upper Province, and you'll have to go to the Upper Province to look for your master as well. With me around, you don't have to wait until you've broken through to the Divine Saint Stage before you go. What do you think? "
"Of course!"
Duan Lingtian nodded with a smile. If he was given another two years, it would not be difficult for him to break through to the Eminent Saint Stage if he tried to enter the Spirit Pool one or two more times.
Gu Li was unaware that Duan Lingtian's cultivation base was only at the Early Refined Saint Stage. Otherwise, he would have been shocked.
In the eyes of everyone in the Mystical Sky Mansion, including Gu Li, Duan Lingtian was at the peak of the Refined Saint Stage. He was only a step away from breaking through to the Eminent Saint Stage!
Since Duan Ling Tian had agreed to go to the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land with Gu Li, he could not help but feel pressured.
For this reason, he quickly bade farewell to Gu Li and returned to his residence.
After he returned to his room, he immediately entered the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda and tossed the Spatial Ring that was filled with materials to Huo Lao. "Huo Lao, these are the materials to repair the fourth level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda. This is only the first batch. There will be more materials sent to you in the future. Feel free to use them!"
Duan Lingtian believed that with the Mystical Sky Mansion's efforts, apart from a few rare materials, he would be able to gather the rest of the materials.
As for the rare materials, he would have to rely on luck.
After Huo Lao took the materials, he busied himself with repairing the fourth level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda. Duan Lingtian also returned to the third level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda and continued to cultivate.
Perhaps, it was due to the pressure from the agreement with Gu Li, it only took Duan Lingtian ten days to successfully break through to the Intermediate Refined Saint Stage!
Ten days in the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda was equivalent to two days in the outside world.
After breaking through to the Intermediate Refined Saint Stage, the Sun True Origin in Duan Lingtian's body had transformed to a stage where it was comparable to the True Origin of an ordinary Intermediate Eminent Saint Stage powerhouse.
After continuing to cultivate for a while, Duan Lingtian finally reached a bottleneck.
At this moment, he stopped cultivating and took out the Jasper Celestial Sword. Through the Jasper Celestial Sword, he further comprehended the profundity of the Supreme Sword Dao Mental Cultivation Method, the Sovereign Heart Sword.
The second stage of the Sovereign Heart Sword, the Sword Shadowed Heart, was also gradually stabilizing. He was getting closer and closer to breaking through to the third stage.
"It has already been a month … Don't tell me he's going to enter closed-door cultivation again?"
At the same time, the Zhao Clan's disciples who were guarding outside Duan Lingtian's door felt like they were going crazy.
"Is this Ling Tian even human? He just came out of closed-door cultivation, and he's going to enter closed-door cultivation again … Don't tell me he doesn't encounter any bottlenecks when he cultivates? "
Many Zhao Clan's disciples were speechless.
Their goal was to lure Ling Tian out of the Mystical Sky Mansion's estate and kill him.
However, Ling Tian was in closed-door cultivation all day. Even if they had thousands of plans in their minds, they did not know where to start. They could only wait for Ling Tian to come out of closed-door cultivation before they could proceed to the next step.
Time flew by like a white steed flitting by a crack.
Unknowingly, another few months had passed. It had been a year since Duan Lingtian had first arrived at the Mystical Sky Mansion.
Ever since he entered closed-door cultivation, Duan Lingtian still did not have any intention of coming out of closed-door cultivation.
The group of Zhao Clan's disciples who were eager to contribute to the Mystical Sky Mansion were extremely anxious. However, there was nothing they could do.
At this moment, a shocking piece of news began to spread from the Main Mansion and entered the ears of the Mystical Sky Mansion's high-ranking officials.
"Xu Jing has disappeared!"
Naturally, the high-ranking officials in the Mystical Sky Mansion referred to the Vice Mansion Masters and above.
"What's going on?!"
In the secret underground room, Meng Qing, the Mansion Master of Mystical Sky Mansion, looked at the empty stone bed. Although there was no change in his expression, the others present on the scene could hear the anger in his voice.
"Where's Palace Master Zhu?"
At the same time, one of the Vice Mansion Masters of Mystical Sky Mansion noticed that Zhu Lüqi, the Palace Master of Heaven Palace, was not around.
"Who's on duty recently?"
Meng Qing asked in a deep voice.
"I think it's Palace Master Zhu …"
