However, was he, Duan Lingtian, the kind of person who would drag his friends down with him?
At this moment, Duan Lingtian made up his mind.
"Elder Teng Shan, if you're familiar with any of the six elders from the other three Sanctums, please ask them to take my two companions away. I don't want them to stay in the Black Turtle Sanctum."
After making up his mind, Duan Lingtian immediately sent a Voice Transmission to Teng Shan.
At this moment, he could only ask Teng Shan for help.
Before Li An's attention shifted to Gu Li and Zhu Lüqi who were next to him, he would ask the people from the other three Sanctums to take their two companions away.
Since Gu Li and Zhu Lüqi were considerate of him, it was only natural for him to be considerate of them as well.
"You don't want to drag them into this?"
A hint of admiration could be seen in Teng Shan's eyes when he heard Duan Lingtian's Voice Transmission.
It was rare to see someone with such high innate talent, powerful strength, and companionship.
At this moment, Teng Shan's impression of Duan Lingtian improved tremendously.
"Yes."
Duan Lingtian nodded.
"I'll definitely help you with this!"
Teng Shan replied to Duan Lingtian confidently through Voice Transmission. This made Duan Lingtian sigh in relief. At the same time, he quickly thanked Teng Shan through Voice Transmission.
At this moment, Gu Li and Zhu Lüqi looked at Teng Shan expectantly. Although Teng Shan glanced at them, he did not choose them.
Instead, an elder from the White Tiger Sanctum and an elder from the Vermilion Bird Sanctum chose them in the same round.
If they were chosen separately, Gu Li and Zhu Lüqi would not find it strange.
However, now that they were chosen in the same round, they realized something was amiss.
"Junior Martial Brother Ling Tian, did you ask Elder Teng Shan to ask the elder of the Vermilion Bird Sanctum to choose me?"
Gu Li, who was standing behind the two Elders of the Vermilion Bird Sanctum, asked Duan Lingtian with a bitter expression on his face. He vaguely guessed that Duan Lingtian had done this on purpose, but he wasn't one hundred percent sure.
"It's you?"
Zhu Lüqi, who was standing behind the two White Tiger Sanctum's elders, also sent a Sound Transmission to Duan Lingtian. He was clearly displeased with Duan Lingtian's decision.
"Don't worry, I can take care of myself. On the other hand, if I have you by my side, I won't be able to do as I please. "
Duan Lingtian had expected the two of them to ask him, so he gave them the answer he had prepared beforehand.
"Are you afraid that I'll drag you down?"
Gu Li frowned in dissatisfaction.
Zhu Lüqi did not say anything this time. However, based on the look in his eyes, it was obvious he was displeased as well.
However, they knew the outcome had already been determined. It was useless to blame Duan Lingtian. Therefore, they did not continue to harp on this matter.
"Huh?"
At the same time, Li An regained his senses when he saw the White Tiger Sanctum's elder and the Vermilion Bird Sanctum's elder who were close to Teng Shan had chosen Duan Lingtian's two companions.
'Damn it! How could I have forgotten about them? They're Duan Lingtian's companions. If I deal with them, Duan Lingtian will definitely suffer! '
The moment Li An thought of this, he felt slightly regretful. He regretted not realizing this earlier.
Previously, he was so immersed in the joy of keeping Duan Lingtian in the Black Turtle Sanctum that he had completely forgotten about Duan Lingtian's two companions. It was too late for him to realize this now.
However, the outcome had already been determined. Not only were Gu Li and Duan Lingtian powerless to change the situation, but even he could no longer ask Gu Li and Duan Lingtian to go to the Black Turtle Sanctum.
The White Tiger Sanctum's elder and the Vermilion Bird Sanctum's elder were Teng Shan's friends. Naturally, they would not allow him to take Gu Li and Duan Lingtian away.
'Forget it … They're insignificant anyway. As long as Duan Lingtian stays in the Black Turtle Sanctum, it's enough! '
Li An was a Saint Celestial Stage powerhouse after all. He had an extraordinary composure so he quickly calmed down. He was content with what he had.
As time passed, the people who came to participate in the Four Symbols Sanctums' assessment were divided among the Azure Dragon Sanctum, White Tiger Sanctum, Vermilion Bird Sanctum, and Black Turtle Sanctum.
However, there were still more than 1,000 people left in each of the Sanctums.
"For the Zoroastrianism Four Symbols Sanctums' assessment this time … Only 100 people from each of the Sanctums will be able to stay. In other words, 1,000 people will be eliminated from the Black Turtle Sanctum? "
When Duan Lingtian looked around, he discovered there were more than 1,100 people left in the Black Turtle Sanctum.
Soon after, the six elders from the other three Sanctums bid farewell to Teng Shan and Li An before they left with the 1,100 people behind them. They left in a grandiose manner. It was as though a swarm of locusts had passed by.
"Junior Brother Ling Tian, be careful."
"Duan Lingtian, you must remain calm. Don't act rashly!"
At the same time, Gu Li who left with the Vermilion Bird Sanctum's elder and Zhu Lüqi who left with the White Tiger Sanctum's elder reminded Duan Lingtian through Voice Transmission.
They were about to go to the Vermilion Bird Sanctum and the White Tiger Sanctum so they would not be able to help Duan Lingtian.
"Don't worry."
Duan Lingtian nodded and gave the two of them a reassuring look.
In just a blink of an eye, the elders from the other three Sanctums left with the people they had chosen to go to the Azure Dragon Sanctum, Vermilion Bird Sanctum, and White Tiger Sanctum.
At this moment, only Teng Shan, Li An, and the 1,100 people they had chosen were left.
Duan Lingtian was among the 1,100 people.
"The assessment will begin tomorrow. Since all of you are not Black Turtle Sanctum's disciples yet, you can only stay here tonight. When 100 of you pass the assessment, you'll be able to have your own cultivation place in the Black Turtle Sanctum! "
Teng Shan turned around and looked at Duan Lingtian and the others as he announced in a loud voice.
At this moment, apart from Duan Lingtian and a few others who were calm, the 1,000 people present on the scene were excited.
It was as though they could already see themselves passing the assessment, becoming a Black Turtle Sanctum's disciple, and having their own cultivation place in the Black Turtle Sanctum!
After Teng Shan finished speaking, he looked at Duan Lingtian and said through Voice Transmission with a solemn expression, "Duan Lingtian, apart from testing your strength, the most important part of the assessment tomorrow is to test your innate talent. Try your best to display your innate talent tomorrow. As long as your innate talent is monstrous to a certain extent, even Lord Sanctum Leader will pay attention to you.
If Lord Sanctum Leader pays attention to you, even if Li An wants to make a move on you, he won't dare to do it so openly! "
Teng Shan reminded him through Voice Transmission.
"Understood."
Duan Ling Tian nodded solemnly as he replied through Voice Transmission.
After Teng Shan finished speaking, he left. He did not care that Li An was still standing there.
This was because he knew even if he left, as long as Duan Lingtian did not provoke Li An, Li An would not dare to make a move on him.
If Li An made a move, he would have to pay the price. He might even be expelled from the Zoroastrianism!
As one of the three great sects in the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land, Zoroastrianism had strict rules that no one could violate.
It was precisely because of these strict rules that the three great sects had been passed down since ancient times.
As the saying went, 'Nothing can be accomplished without rules.' The three great sects, including the Zoroastrianism, could be said to have mastered the essence of these rules.
As expected, Li An also left not long after Teng Shan left.
However, before Li An left, he glanced at Duan Lingtian.
It was a very cold look. When Duan Lingtian saw it, Duan Lingtian immediately felt a bone-piercing chill that contained killing intent.
It revealed Li An's determination to kill him!
"You want to kill me? Let's see if you have the courage or not! "
A sneer appeared on the corners of Duan Ling Tian's mouth.
He knew very well that with Li An's strength, it would be as easy as killing a chicken if he wanted to kill him.
However, if Li An killed him here, he would be violating the rules of Zoroastrianism and would be expelled from the Zoroastrianism.
He knew very well that Li An did not have the courage to kill him and allow him to be expelled from the Zoroastrianism.
Otherwise, he would not be alive right now.
After Li An left, the thousands of people present on the scene shifted their attention to Duan Lingtian, causing Duan Lingtian to become the center of attention.
At this moment, most people looked at Duan Lingtian with a hint of pity in their eyes.
'This Duan Lingtian has offended Elder Li An. Even if he doesn't die in the Black Turtle Sanctum, I'm afraid he'll be skinned alive if he stays here!'
This was what most people thought.
Duan Lingtian ignored these people and sat down cross-legged in the air. At the same time, he closed his eyes and began to cultivate.
'I'm still one step away from the Divine Saint Stage … However, I've been stuck at this last step for a long time.'
Duan Lingtian sighed inwardly when he began to cultivate.
In just a day and a night, Duan Lingtian did not think he would be able to make a breakthrough. He merely cultivated as usual.
However, sometimes, a pleasant surprise would come in just a blink of an eye.
Boom!
As the Sun True Origin in his body broke through the bottleneck between the peak of the Eminent Saint Stage and the Divine Saint Stage, Duan Lingtian discovered the True Origin in his body had transformed into another energy.
"This is the Saint Energy?"
Duan Lingtian was excited when he sensed the brand-new energy in his body. "I … I've made a breakthrough just like that?"
Even Duan Lingtian did not expect this breakthrough.
'No wonder they say pressure is motivation … It seems like the threat and pressure from a Saint Celestial Stage powerhouse has unknowingly tightened my nerves and increased the efficiency of my cultivation.'
Duan Lingtian thought to himself.
The breakthrough this time proved the saying that 'pressure is motivation'.
Then, Duan Lingtian immersed himself in the brand-new energy in his body. The brand-new energy was no longer the True Origin, but the Saint Energy that was unique to powerhouses at the Divine Saint Stage and above.
The Saint Energy was even more powerful and profound. It gave off a majestic and heavy feeling.
After the Saint Energy was tainted by the Sun Flame, it had transformed into the Sun Saint Energy. Compared to the Sun True Origin before it had made a breakthrough, it was on a completely different level.
"The Sun Saint Energy is so powerful!"
Duan Lingtian was excited when he sensed the Sun Saint Energy flowing through the 99 Saint Veins in his body. "With my current cultivation base, if I transform into a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior and unleash all my techniques, I might even be able to defeat a powerhouse at the peak of the Exemplary Saint Stage!"
"Huh? This is … "
