"Just a little more."
Duan Lingtian who was in closed-door cultivation opened his eyes at some point in time. He sighed deeply and left the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda with just a thought in his mind.
Currently, his cultivation base was only a step away from breaking through to the Mastery Refined Saint Stage.
However, a bottleneck appeared at this step. If he wanted to make a breakthrough, he would need to find a suitable opportunity.
"Huo Lao, have you used up all the materials?"
Duan Lingtian contacted Huo Lao and asked.
"I've used them up a long time ago."
Huo Lao said, "However, the materials you gave me last time are just a drop in the bucket to completely repair the fourth level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda. For this reason, you'll need more materials if you want to repair the fourth level."
"Don't worry, there'll be more materials in the future."
Duan Lingtian replied, "I'll go get the materials for you now."
Currently, it had been almost half a year since he went into closed-door cultivation.
However, two years had passed in the third level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda.
In these two years, not only did Duan Lingtian consolidate his Intermediate Refined Saint Stage cultivation base, but he had also improved further. He was only a step away from breaking through to the Mastery Refined Saint Stage.
When Duan Lingtian opened the door and walked out, he noticed there were a few people hiding in the dark watching him.
"The people from the Zhao Clan are still unwilling to give up?"
Duan Lingtian frowned before he relaxed. He ignored those people and walked toward the Main Mansion to look for Gu Li.
The people from the Zhao Clan followed closely behind him.
"Damn it! He's been in closed-door cultivation for so long, and now that he's finally out, he's still not leaving! "
The few Mystical Sky Mansion's disciples from the Zhao Clan cursed when they saw Duan Lingtian did not leave the Mystical Sky Mansion after coming out of closed-door cultivation. It was as though Duan Lingtian was committing a crime by not leaving the Mystical Sky Mansion.
However, the news of Duan Lingtian coming out of closed-door cultivation quickly spread to the other Mystical Sky Mansion's elders and disciples from the Zhao Clan.
For a time, it caused the originally lifeless Zhao Clan to seethe with excitement. All of them rubbed their palms together and wished for nothing more than to immediately display their strength.
Duan Lingtian was naturally unaware of all this.
At this moment, he had already arrived at the place where Guardian Gu Ci Yun cultivated.
"Uncle Gu."
This time, Duan Lingtian met Gu Ci Yun.
"Little Tian is here?"
Gu Ci Yun smiled as he faced Duan Lingtian, but Duan Lingtian could clearly see that there was a strange look in Gu Ci Yun's eyes.
"Uncle Gu, is there something on your mind?"
Duan Lingtian asked in confusion.
When Gu Ci Yun heard this, he sighed but did not say anything.
"Father, Junior Brother Ling Tian is not an outsider. What's the harm in telling him? Moreover, he was the one who provided the news about the Devouring Dark Devil Technique. "
Gu Li had also come over and said bluntly.
Gu Ci Yun nodded. "You tell Little Tian."
When Gu Li spoke, Duan Lingtian finally understood the reason behind Gu Ci Yun's troubled expression.
"Our Heavenly Palace's Palace Master saved Xu Jing?"
He saved Xu Jing because he wanted to obtain the Devouring Dark Devil Technique that Xu Jing cultivated? Since the Devouring Dark Devil Technique is an inhumane and heartless Devil Dao Cultivation Method, he was worried he wouldn't be able to cultivate it if it was exposed so he chose to take the risk?
He chose to take the risk because he wanted to seek revenge from the Deputy Leader of the Mountainshade Black Market, Feng Bu Yi? "
…
After learning about this matter, Duan Lingtian could not help but smile wryly. "It seems like Palace Master Zhu has not forgotten about the incident from half a year ago!"
Half a year ago, he was not far away when Zhu Lüqi was humiliated by the Deputy Leader of the Mountainshade Black Market, Feng Bu Yi. He had witnessed everything clearly.
He could completely understand how Zhu Lüqi felt at that time. He must have wished he was dead!
Due to this reason, Duan Lingtian was not surprised when he learned that Zhu Lüqi took the risk to cultivate the Devouring Dark Devil Technique because of that incident.
"Palace Master Zhu's master is Grandmaster's Little Junior Brother … Therefore, Palace Master Zhu can be considered as a member of my father's faction. He usually calls my father Senior Brother when he sees him."
Gu Li explained in a timely manner.
Duan Ling Tian came to a realization when he heard this. If that was the case, then it was understandable that Gu Ci Yun had a troubled expression.
"Palace Master Zhu is indeed a little muddle-headed … If he cultivates the Devouring Dark Devil Technique, who knows how many people he will harm! Oh right, Uncle Gu, do you know what kind of inhumane method one uses to cultivate the Devouring Dark Devil Technique? "
When Duan Lingtian reached the end of his sentence, he looked at Gu Ci Yun.
"It's said that the Devouring Dark Devil Technique is cultivated by devouring the vital energy and blood of young women. The advancement of one's cultivation base is extremely fast … The young women whose vital energy and blood are devoured by the person who cultivates the Devouring Dark Devil Technique will turn into dried corpses in the end."
Gu Ci Yun's eyes flashed coldly as he said sternly, "If Zhu Lüqi really cultivates the Devouring Dark Devil Technique, I'll personally kill him the next time we meet!"
"Devouring vital energy and blood? Turning into dried corpses? "
Although Duan Lingtian knew the cultivation method of the Devouring Dark Devil Technique was extremely vicious, he could not help but gasp when he found out the method. At the same time, his expression turned gloomy.
"What a vicious Devil Dao Cultivation Method!"
Duan Lingtian's eyes flashed coldly. He felt Devil Cultivators who cultivated the Devouring Dark Devil Technique were worse than beasts!
"Then, does this mean Xu Jing will most likely be able to recover after being rescued by him?"
Duan Ling Tian narrowed his eyes as he muttered to himself. A cold gleam flashed in his eyes.
Xu Jing, the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion, was someone he wanted to kill.
Initially, he thought Xu Jing would definitely die this time. However, he did not expect Zhu Lüqi would be the one to rescue him.
"Before Palace Master Zhu left, he said he'll kill Xu Jing after obtaining the Devouring Dark Devil Technique."
Gu Li said, "Although Palace Master Zhu's actions are difficult to accept, based on the words he left behind, it's clear he was forced to do so. He didn't really want to betray the Mystical Sky Mansion."
"As long as he cultivates the Devouring Dark Devil Technique, he deserves to die!"
Gu Ci Yun said sternly.
Kill Xu Jing?
Upon hearing Gu Li's words, Duan Lingtian remained indifferent.
Since Xu Jing had a way to instigate Zhu Lüqi to betray him and let Zhu Lüqi save him, he must have a backup plan. He would not easily pass the Devouring Dark Devil Technique to Zhu Lüqi.
Due to this reason, he did not think Zhu Lüqi would be able to kill Xu Jing.
It was not that Zhu Lüqi was not strong enough to kill Xu Jing, but Xu Jing would use the Devouring Dark Devil Technique, a Devil Dao Cultivation Method, to prevent Zhu Lüqi from killing him.
'Xu Jing, I'll definitely kill you the next time we meet!'
Duan Lingtian muttered to himself. His eyes gleamed fiercely as though he was about to devour Xu Jing.
After taking a deep breath, Duan Lingtian immediately looked at Gu Li. "Senior Brother Gu Li, how many materials have you gathered?"
"The materials you need are all in here."
Gu Li took out a Spatial Ring and passed it to Duan Lingtian.
After Duan Lingtian performed Ownership Claim on the Spatial Ring, he was shocked when he looked inside.
The materials in the Spatial Ring were more than ten times more than the materials he had gathered previously.
Although Duan Lingtian was shocked, he was not surprised.
This was because he had been in closed-door cultivation for almost half a year. With the Mystical Sky Mansion's strength, it was not difficult for him to gather these materials in such a short time.
Even so, Duan Lingtian was still grateful to the father and son from Gu Clan and the Mansion Master of Mystical Sky Mansion.
After obtaining the materials, Duan Lingtian bade farewell to the father and son from Gu Clan before he left and returned to his residence.
After he returned, he immediately sent the materials into the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda and into Huo Lao's hands. "Huo Lao, the materials in this Spatial Ring are more than ten times more than the materials I gathered previously. However, I haven't found the two rarest materials yet. Don't tell me we don't have those two materials here?"
When Duan Lingtian reached the end of his sentence, he smiled wryly and anxiously.
"Not necessarily."
Huo Lao's voice resonated. "Don't forget that you're currently in the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land. If I'm not mistaken, the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land should be an independent pseudo realm. Although it's a pseudo realm, the environment there must be much better than the Lower Province. There must be more treasures there.
Just because the Lower Province doesn't have those two materials doesn't mean the Upper Province doesn't have them as well. "
Huo Lao finished his sentence in one breath.
"Pseudo realm?"
Duan Lingtian asked Huo Lao. This was his first time hearing about a pseudo realm in this world.
"A pseudo realm refers to a realm that isn't considered a realm. I can't describe it in detail. You can understand it this way. A pseudo realm is an independent realm formed by the turbulence of space. The environment in a pseudo realm is usually very good. The environment I'm talking about is not only a cultivation environment, but it also includes various living environments. "
Huo Lao said, "If I'm not mistaken, the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land should be a pseudo realm that appeared later on. After the pseudo realm appeared, the backbone of the Dao Martial Saint Land went there. However, due to the limited resources there, the weaker forces and people in the Dao Martial Saint Land stayed there.
That's how the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land came into being.
Based on Huo Lao's tone when he said this, it was as though he had experienced it himself.
Duan Lingtian nodded although he did not fully understand. In fact, he still did not understand.
What was the turbulence of space?
Why would its turbulence be able to form an independent realm?
As for what a realm was, he had heard Huo Lao mention it before. He knew it referred to a completely independent world.
For example, the Earth in his previous life was located in a secular plane. It was a planet in that plane.
The world he was in now was also a planet in the Mundane Plane. And in this Mundane Plane, there were probably thousands of different planets.
"I wonder if earth is in this Mundane Realm as well."
