The rays of light that did not possess any offensive power came from the eight elders of the Four Symbols Sanctums and landed on the people who came to participate in the Zoroastrianism Four Symbols Sanctums' assessment.
Those who were selected would have to follow the elder who selected them.
Those who were selected by the elder of the Azure Dragon Sanctum would have to follow the elder to the Azure Dragon Sanctum to participate in the assessment.
If they passed the assessment, they would become a disciple of the Azure Dragon Sanctum.
Although the disciples of the Azure Dragon Sanctum were only outer disciples of Zoroastrianism, they were still considered Zoroastrianism disciples.
After becoming a disciple of the Azure Dragon Sanctum, they would be qualified to comprehend the high-grade assist-type Divine Ability that was passed down in the Azure Dragon Sanctum since ancient times.
It was the same for the other three Sanctums.
In the history of the Four Symbols Sanctums of Zoroastrianism, two elders from the Four Symbols Sanctums would select the same person at the same time. However, it was rare for two elders from the same Sanctum to select the same person at the same time.
Usually, the two elders from the same Sanctum would discuss with each other before selecting a person.
For this reason, the six elders from the other three Sanctums were surprised when they saw Teng Shan and Li An, the two elders from the Black Turtle Sanctum, had chosen the same young man at the same time. "Elder Li An, Elder Teng Shan … Didn't you discuss this beforehand?"
"If Sanctum Leader Qiu finds out about this, I'm afraid he'll reprimand all of you for not being united."
"Elder Li An, Elder Teng Shan … Is there a misunderstanding between the two of you?"
…
The six elders from the other three Sanctums chimed in one after another.
They had also just arrived and were completely unaware of what had happened earlier. However, they could sense the smell of gunpowder from the confrontation between Teng Shan and Li An.
Upon hearing this, Teng Shan and Li An looked at each other and snorted coldly.
Teng Shan was not surprised that Li An had chosen Duan Lingtian to stay in the Black Turtle Sanctum. He knew Li An was a vengeful person. He would definitely do everything in his power to make Li An stay in the Black Turtle Sanctum.
After all, in Li An's opinion,
As long as Duan Lingtian remained in the Black Turtle Sanctum, he would not be able to escape from Li An!
In contrast to Teng Shan's indifference, Li An was greatly surprised when he saw that Teng Shan had also chosen to Duan Lingtian.
Based on his understanding of Teng Shan, since Teng Shan had taken a liking to Duan Lingtian, he would definitely want Duan Duan Lingtian to leave the Black Turtle Sanctum. After all, Teng Shan knew he would not let Duan Lingtian go.
"Could it be that Teng Shan has taken a fancy to Duan Lingtian's talent and wants to take him as his disciple?"
When he thought of this, Li An was suddenly enlightened.
If that was the case, then everything could be explained.
However, in his heart, he felt that Teng Shan was too naive. If he, Li An, wanted to kill someone, it was impossible for them to survive!
Even if Duan Lingtian had the backing of Teng Shan, the result would still be the same.
If they were to fight, Teng Shan would be defeated by him!
After all, he was ranked 139th on the Supreme Saint Ranking while Teng Shan was only ranked 173rd.
The higher one's ranking was on the Supreme Saint Ranking, the more obvious the difference between each ranking was.
Although Teng Shan was only 30 places behind him, if they were to fight, he was confident he could kill Teng Shan in ten moves!
"The Black Turtle Sanctum's Elder Li An and Elder Teng Shan actually chose Duan Lingtian? What's going on?"
While the other three Sanctums' elders were looking at Li An and Teng Shan, a group of people in the distance broke into an uproar. All of them were shocked.
"I'm not surprised that Elder Li An chose Duan Lingtian to stay in the Black Turtle Sanctum. If Duan Lingtian stays in the Black Turtle Sanctum, it'll be easier for him to deal with Duan Lingtian in the future."
"Duan Lingtian killed Yang Wu, the second son of Yang Chong, the fifth elder of the Northern Plethora Sect, in front of Elder Li An. Yang Chong is Elder Li An's best friend. Elder Li An will definitely not let this matter go!"
"Elder Teng Shan seems to have a good impression of Duan Lingtian. Otherwise, he wouldn't have helped Duan Lingtian. Shouldn't he be persuading Duan Lingtian to seek refuge in the other three Sanctums?"
"I don't understand why Elder Teng Shan wants to keep Duan Lingtian here. Keeping Duan Lingtian here is no different from sending a lamb to a tiger's den!"
…
The crowd discussed animatedly, and their gazes sometimes descended onto Li An and sometimes descended onto Duan Ling Tian, causing the two of them to become the center of attention.
At the same time, the elders from the other three Sanctums were also enlightened.
As it turned out, Li An and Teng Shan were at odds with each other because they both chose the purple-clad young man named Duan Lingtian.
Duan Lingtian had killed Yang Wu, the son of the fifth elder of the Northern Plethora Sect, before they arrived!
His actions were equivalent to slapping Li An in the face.
After all, the fifth elder of the Northern Plethora Sect was Li An's best friend. If Li An did not manage to save Yang Wu's life, everyone would think he was useless!
For this reason, it was only natural that Li An hated Duan Lingtian to the core. He could not wait to tear Duan Lingtian into pieces.
"It's fine if Li An wants to keep Duan Lingtian in the Black Turtle Sanctum, but since Teng Shan has a good impression of Duan Lingtian, why does he want to keep Duan Lingtian in the Black Turtle Sanctum?"
The six elders from the three Sanctums were puzzled by this. Two elders who were close to Teng Shan immediately asked him through Voice Transmission.
Soon after, they received the answer.
"Initially, I wanted him to go to the other three Sanctums. However, he insisted on staying in the Black Turtle Sanctum. He wants to comprehend the high-grade defensive Divine Ability, the Black Turtle's Barrier, in the Black Turtle Sanctum. "
Teng Shan smiled wryly through Voice Transmission.
"I see. However, this fellow is too impulsive. Doesn't he know the Black Turtle Sanctum's defensive Divine Ability is the hardest to comprehend among the four high-grade Divine Abilities in our Four Symbols Sanctums? "
"He's willing to risk his life for a Divine Ability that he doesn't even know if he'll be able to comprehend. Even if this fellow has a good innate talent, he's destined to die young!"
The two elders shook their heads.
Due to Duan Lingtian's recklessness, they did not have a good impression of Duan Lingtian.
Although Duan Lingtian's innate talent and strength were good, it was not to the point where the six elders from the other three Sanctums would fight for him with the Black Turtle Sanctum.
Moreover, they did not want to offend Li An.
For this reason, Duan Lingtian's destination was decided.
The Black Turtle Sanctum!
"Junior Brother Ling Tian, if you want to stay in the Black Turtle Sanctum, you don't have to join this Zoroastrianism!"
Gu Li sent a Voice Transmission to persuade Duan Ling Tian when he saw Duan Ling Tian had made his decision and was now behind Teng Shan.
"Don't want to join?"
Duan Lingtian shook his head. "Even if I don't give up, do you think I'll be able to leave the Black Turtle Sanctum alive, Senior Brother Gu Li? Li An doesn't dare to violate the rules of Zoroastrianism in the Black Turtle Sanctum so he didn't do anything to me.
However, once I leave the Black Turtle Sanctum, the rules of Zoroastrianism won't bind him anymore. Do you think I'll be able to survive at that time? "
Duan Lingtian did not intend to stay in the Black Turtle Sanctum for the time being. Instead, he analyzed his current situation to Gu Li.
Now that he had offended Li An, he no longer had a choice whether he wanted to join the Zoroastrianism or not.
"Duan Lingtian is right. If he stays in the Zoroastrianism, he'll still be able to survive. However, if he leaves, he'll definitely die!"
Zhu Lu Qi asked solemnly. Duan Ling Tian's Voice Transmission was also transmitted to Zhu Lu Qi.
At the same time, a hint of worry could be seen in his eyes. "However, if you stay in the Black Turtle Sanctum, although Li An won't personally make a move, he'll definitely do everything he can to deal with you!
Naturally, with the rules of Zoroastrianism, even if Li An finds someone to make things difficult for you in the Black Turtle Sanctum, he won't be able to kill you. However, the people he'll find to deal with you will definitely be stronger than you. You'll have to learn to be patient with them. Don't be hot-headed and agree to a Death Duel! "
Zhu Lüqi's expression turned even grimmer as he spoke.
"Don't worry. I'm not going to risk my life … I still have many things to do so I must survive. "
Duan Lingtian nodded.
He had lived two lifetimes, and with the experiences he had had along the way, he had long passed the age of hot-headedness.
If he encountered someone he was no match for, even if he was humiliated, he would temporarily endure it and wait until he became stronger in the future to regain his dignity.
Recklessly sending one's life away was something a reckless man would do, and it wasn't something Duan Ling Tian would do.
"However, I really didn't expect Elder Teng Shan would allow Duan Lingtian to stay in the Black Turtle Sanctum … Didn't he have a good impression of you? Logically speaking, he shouldn't allow you to stay in the Black Turtle Sanctum for your safety. "
Gu Li looked at Duan Lingtian. Similar to the others, he was also puzzled by Teng Shan's actions.
Zhu Lüqi also looked at Duan Lingtian. He also found it strange.
"Naturally, Elder Teng Shan doesn't want me to stay in the Black Turtle Sanctum … Earlier, I was the one who sent a Voice Transmission to him and asked him to let me stay."
Duan Lingtian replied.
"Why?"
Gu Li and Zhu Lüqi frowned. They did not know why Duan Lingtian would do this. It was no different from sending himself to the tiger's den.
"It's because I want to comprehend the Black Turtle Sanctum's high-grade defensive Divine Ability, the Black Turtle's Barrier!"
Duan Lingtian said firmly as his eyes flashed.
Upon hearing Duan Lingtian's reply, Gu Li and Zhu Lüqi were rendered speechless.
Perhaps, only Duan Lingtian would put himself in danger for the sake of comprehending a Divine Ability that he might not even be able to comprehend.
They knew if they were in Duan Lingtian's shoes, they would not do such a thing.
"Junior Brother Ling Tian!"
All of a sudden, Gu Li's eyes lit up as though he had just recalled something. He looked at Duan Lingtian and said, "Quickly tell Elder Teng Shan to let me stay in the Black Turtle Sanctum as well! This way, you won't have to face Li An alone. "
"That's right!"
Zhu Lüqi agreed as well. "Ask Elder Teng Shan to let me stay as well. One more person means one more helper. With Gu Li and I around, we'll be able to share some of your burden as well. "
Upon hearing Gu Li and Zhu Lüqi's words, Duan Lingtian was, naturally, touched.
