In the end, Gu Li did not manage to persuade Duan Lingtian.
In fact, nobody could persuade Duan Lingtian since Duan Lingtian was confident he could defeat Di Jue and obtain the opportunity to enter the Saint Land of the Dragons, the Dragon Cleansing Pool!
After Gu Li went to the Azure Cloud Platform, Duan Lingtian returned to his father's mansion and went to the room his mother had prepared for him.
In the entire Azure Cloud Mansion, apart from those special Spirit Pools, Duan Rufeng's mansion was undoubtedly the best place to cultivate since it was directly connected to the quasi grade three Saint Stone reserve.
This place was surrounded by the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy all year round.
However, with Duan Lingtian's current appetite, although the Spirit Pool was good, it did not suit him at all.
This was because he could completely absorb the liquid Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in the Spirit Pool in a short period of time. At that time, the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in the surrounding area would become thin and affect his cultivation.
Moreover, even if all the Spirit Pools in the Azure Cloud Mansion were given to him, the supply would not be able to meet the demand.
For this reason, it was better for him to stay in his father's mansion and cultivate obediently.
However, although Duan Lingtian had been in the Azure Cloud Mansion for many days, news about him did not spread out at all.
Even in the Azure Cloud Mansion, there were only a handful of people who knew he was the Young Mansion Master.
Up until now, only the few Exemplary Saint Stage powerhouses under his father's command and those whom they could trust knew he was the Young Mansion Master of the Azure Cloud Mansion.
There were even fewer people who knew he was in the Azure Cloud Mansion.
The reason he kept such a low profile was none other than the Devilseal Tablet in his possession!
The Devilseal Tablet was one of the ten great Super Saint Weapons on the Ten Great Saint Weapons Ranking in the Dao Martial Saint Land. Even the powerhouses in the Upper Province would covet it.
For this reason, for the sake of Duan Lingtian's safety and the Azure Cloud Mansion's safety, Duan Rufeng did not spread the news that his son was Duan Lingtian. This was because the name Duan Lingtian was a very sensitive topic in the Dobusei Subterranean.
As long as this name was mentioned, everyone would immediately think of the Devilseal Tablet!
"The most important thing right now is to transform the Golden Crow's Wings to the second form. At that time, I'll be able to break through to the Eminent Saint Stage! "After I've broken through to the Eminent Saint Stage, if I can raise my cultivation base to the Intermediate stage before the five-year Promise, there shouldn't be any problem!"
Although to to to encourage himself to break through to the Heavens, he was to encourage himself.
Was the Elementary Devouring Technique something he could master just because he said so?
How could he break through to the Intermediate Eminent Saint Stage just because he wanted to?
If he could not master the high-grade Divine Ability, the Elementary Devouring Tactic, and break through to the Intermediate Eminent Saint Stage, other than using the Jasper Celestial Sword, what else could he use to fight Di Jue, the Five-clawed Golden Dragon?
If he did not have the Elementary Devouring Tactic and his cultivation base had not broken through to the Intermediate Eminent Saint Stage, even if he had comprehended the third stage of the Sovereign Heart Sword and relied on the Divine Ability, the Golden Crow's Wings, he was not confident he could defeat Di Jue without using the Jasper Celestial Sword!
As for his physical body, he had no advantage at all!
Although his body was stronger than a Six-clawed Divine Dragon with the same cultivation base, a Five-clawed Divine Dragon could not be compared to him at all.
However, even if he had broken through to the Intermediate Eminent Saint Stage, his body was only equivalent to a Six-clawed Divine Dragon at the Mastery Eminent Saint Stage at most.
Although a Six-clawed Divine Dragon was stronger than a Five-clawed Divine Dragon, how could a Six-clawed Divine Dragon at the Mastery Eminent Saint Stage compare to a Five-clawed Golden Dragon at the peak of the Divine Saint Stage in terms of body strength?
In fact, a Five-clawed Golden Dragon was one of the best among the Five-clawed Divine Dragons. No matter which aspect it was, it was almost on par with a Six-clawed Divine Dragon!
"I almost forgot … Di Jue's strength can't be compared to an ordinary human Martial Cultivator!"
When Duan Lingtian thought about the powerful body of the Dragons, his expression turned grave immediately.
Previously, he was confident because he was facing an ordinary Martial Cultivator at the peak of the Saint Stage or Early Exemplary Saint Stage.
Now, he finally remembered Di Jue was a Five-clawed Golden Dragon!
A Five-clawed Golden Dragon at the peak of the Divine Saint Stage had a monstrous body.
Then, what about a Five-clawed Golden Dragon at the Early Exemplary Saint Stage?
Just the thought of it made Duan Lingtian's scalp go numb.
For a time, Duan Ling Tian only felt an invisible pressure pressing down on him. It pressed down on him to the point he felt a little breathless and almost suffocated.
In the face of this pressure, Duan Lingtian immediately entered the third level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda. He greedily absorbed the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy and began to refine the Golden Crow's Wings.
The Golden Crow's Wings were constantly changing.
It would not take long before it would successfully transform into the second form!
At that time, he would no longer have to suppress his cultivation base, and he would be able to break through to the Early Eminent Saint Stage in one go!
While Duan Lingtian was working hard to refine the Golden Crow's Wings, the faraway Mystical Sky Mansion was not peaceful as well.
"D-Deng 'er?!"
Zhao Jin, the Guardian of Mystical Sky Mansion, stared at the shattered Soul Pearl in front of him with wide eyes.
A bloody luster spread from his eyes before it completely covered his eyes. It was as though they had transformed into a pair of blood-red eyes.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
…
As Zhao Jin's robe fluttered, the hairband on his head of greyish-white hair fluttered even though there was no wind. The tables and chairs in the huge side palace shook as well, emitting a series of crisp sounds.
"No matter who it is, I'll make you pay with your life for daring to kill my son!"
Zhao Jin's Adam's apple bobbed a few times as he spoke. Although his voice was not loud, it contained a ruthless killing intent.
The shattered Soul Pearl belonged to Zhao Deng, the Vice Mansion Master of Mystical Sky Mansion, who had died in the Azure Cloud Mansion.
Naturally, Zhao Jin did not know Zhao Deng had gone to the Azure Cloud Mansion, let alone the fact that he had died in the Azure Cloud Mansion.
Faced with Rong Yuan who was so powerful, Zhao Deng could not send any message before he died.
In less than a month, his grandson and son had died. This was a huge blow to Zhao Jin!
While Zhao Jin was in a frenzy, the entire Mystical Sky Mansion was in an uproar.
As the Vice Mansion Master of Mystical Sky Mansion, Zhao Deng did not only leave behind a Soul Pearl in the Mystical Sky Mansion. Apart from the Soul Pearl in his residence, there was another Soul Pearl in the inner mansion of the Main Mansion of Mystical Sky Mansion as well.
Today, when a Mystical Sky Mansion's disciple went to check his Soul Pearl, he discovered Zhao Deng's Soul Pearl had shattered!
The Mystical Sky Mansion's disciple's expression turned grave immediately. He immediately reported this matter.
There was no such thing as an airtight wall in this world.
When this matter was reported, the news quickly spread like a hurricane in the entire Mystical Sky Mansion.
"Hey! Did you hear? Vice Mansion Master Zhao Deng is dead! "
"It can't be, right? Vice Mansion Master Zhao Deng is very powerful. Moreover, his father is Guardian Zhao Jin. Who's capable of killing him? Who would dare to kill him? Did you receive fake news? "
"It must be true! It's said that Vice Mansion Master Zhao Deng's Soul Pearl has shattered! "
"Who's so bold as to kill Vice Mansion Master Zhao Deng?!"
…
When the entire Mystical Sky Mansion was in an uproar, the Mansion Master of Mystical Sky Mansion, Meng Qing, was, naturally, alerted as well. He immediately gathered the group of high-ranking officials in the Mystical Sky Mansion's estate.
Among these high-ranking officials, there were elders from the four peaks with low positions while those with high positions were Vice Mansion Masters and Guardians!
When Guardian Gu Ci Yun arrived, almost everyone was present except for Zhao Jin.
However, after waiting for a while, Zhao Jin finally arrived.
"My condolences, Guardian Zhao."
When Meng Qing saw Zhao Jin, he sighed and took the initiative to console him.
"My condolences, Guardian Zhao."
After Meng Qing, the group of Mystical Sky Mansion's high-ranking officials, including Gu Ci Yun, began to console Zhao Jin as well.
Naturally, some of them only consoled him verbally, but there was a hint of schadenfreude in their eyes. It was obvious they did not mean what they said.
"Thank you, Mansion Master. Thank you, everyone."
Zhao Jin's voice was slightly hoarse. His body faintly emitted a cold aura that kept others at a distance.
"Guardian Zhao, the reason I've gathered everyone here is to discuss Vice Mansion Master Zhao's death. No matter who it is, the Mystical Sky Mansion won't let them off for killing our Vice Mansion Master!"
Meng Qing said.
"Naturally, the most important thing right now is to find Vice Mansion Master Zhao's murderer. Does anyone here have any clues about Vice Mansion Master Zhao?"
Meng Qing swept his gaze across everyone present.
"Lord Mansion Master!"
As soon as Meng Qing finished speaking, one of the Mystical Sky Mansion's elders spoke up, "A few days ago, I was patrolling the Earth Palace's perimeter when I saw Vice Mansion Master Zhao rushing south. Oh right, before him, Gu Li, the son of Guardian Gu, also went south. "
In the Mystical Sky Mansion, the Heaven, Earth, Mystical, and Yellow Palaces were located in the north, south, west, and east respectively.
If one left the Main Mansion and headed south, they would have to pass by the Earth Palace's perimeter.
"South?"
Meng Qing frowned.
Upon hearing this Mystical Sky Mansion's elder's words, horror dawned on Gu Ci Yun's face as his heart jolted. "Zhao Deng also went south as soon as my son left. It seems like he's planning to follow my son to find Little Tian!"
As one of the Mystical Sky Mansion's Guardians, Gu Ci Yun was an experienced person. It was not difficult for him to figure this out.
The moment he thought of this, he broke out in cold sweat for his son.
However, when he thought about how Zhao Deng was dead and his son's Soul Pearl was still in his hands, he sighed in relief. At the same time, he could vaguely guess what was going on. "That Zhao Deng actually dared to target Little Tian. I think he must have died in the hands of a powerhouse from the Azure Cloud Mansion!"
Although Gu Ci Yun had guessed the cause of Zhao Deng's death, he did not say it out loud.
Although he and Zhao Jin were both Guardians of the Mystical Sky Mansion, they did not have much of a relationship.
Moreover, his son had been assassinated a few times in the past. He suspected Zhao Jin was the culprit, but he could not find any evidence.
It was only when his son announced he was no longer interested in staying in the Mystical Sky Mansion and wanted to roam the Upper Province that he no longer encountered any assassinations.
At that time, he had already confirmed that the person behind the assassination attempts was Zhao Jin.
