"However, even if Senior Brother Gu Li and Palace Master Zhu have mastered this Secret Technique and won't expose my background, it's only a temporary solution!"
With Yang Chong's status, as long as he uses the Northern Plethora Sect's intelligence network to investigate me, it'll only be a matter of time before he finds out about the Lower Province and the Azure Cloud Mansion. '
The moment Duan Lingtian thought of this, his expression turned solemn immediately.
'I must become stronger before Yang Chong finds out about the Lower Province! At the very least, I must be strong enough to kill Yang Chong before that happens. Yang Chong is a Saint Celestial Stage powerhouse who's ranked 146th on the Supreme Saint Ranking.
His cultivation base is definitely not just at the First Form, Second Form, or Third Form of the Saint Celestial Stage! '
The Supreme Saint Ranking was the supreme ranking that listed the top powerhouses in the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land!
Until now, Duan Lingtian had been in the Black Turtle Sanctum for quite some time now. He had learned some things from the Black Turtle Sanctum's disciples that he did not know before.
For example:
From the 100th place to the 200th place on the Supreme Saint Ranking, it was said that the weakest powerhouses were at the Third Form of the Saint Celestial Stage while the strongest powerhouses were at the Fourth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage!
Until now, Duan Lingtian had met four powerhouses who were ranked in the top 200 on the Supreme Saint Ranking.
Among them, the person who was ranked at the top was the Black Turtle Sanctum's First Silver Flame Elder, Li An!
Li An was ranked at the 139th place on the Supreme Saint Ranking.
The second person was the Black Turtle Sanctum's Silver Flame Elder and Enforcement Elder, Guo Xiong!
Guo Xiong was ranked at the 142nd place on the Supreme Saint Ranking, similar to Li An.
The person ranked at the bottom was Yang Chong, the fifth elder of the Northern Plethora Sect!
Yang Chong was ranked at the 146th place on the Supreme Saint Ranking.
Lastly, there was the Black Turtle Sanctum's Silver Flame Elder, Teng Shan!
Teng Shan was ranked at the 173rd place on the Supreme Saint Ranking.
From this, it could be seen that Li An, Guo Xiong and Yang Chong's strength were similar. Teng Shan's strength was slightly weaker than the former three.
"If I want to kill Yang Chong, I'll have to be at the Saint Celestial Stage at least … My current cultivation base is only at the Divine Saint Stage. It's still too far away from the Saint Celestial Stage!"
"It seems like … I need to find an opportunity to devour other people's Innate Spiritual Roots to strengthen my own!"
'As long as my Innate Spiritual Root transforms into a violet Innate Spiritual Root, coupled with the time flow on the fourth level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, it won't take long for me to break through to the Saint Celestial Stage!'
At this moment, there was only one thought in Duan Lingtian's mind.
Become stronger!
He had to possess the strength to kill Yang Chong before Yang Chong, the fifth elder of the Northern Plethora Sect, found out about his background. Otherwise, his friends and family in the Lower Province would be in danger.
If something were to happen to his father, his mother, his wife and children, or even his other friends and family, he would never be able to forgive himself!
At this moment, Duan Lingtian yearned to possess the strength to look down on the world!
"Let's find Palace Master Zhu first!"
After calming down, Duan Lingtian left the residence of the Black Turtle Sanctum's disciples and headed northeast to the Vermilion Bird Sanctum.
The Zoroastrianism encampment was divided into two areas:
One was the Saint Land, and the other was the Four Symbols Sanctums.
And the former was surrounded by the latter.
The Azure Dragon Sanctum was located to the west of the Saint Land, the White Tiger Sanctum was located to the east of the Saint Land, the Vermilion Bird Sanctum was located to the north of the Saint Land, and the Black Turtle Sanctum was located to the south of the Saint Land.
As the saying goes:
West Azure Dragon!
Eastern White Tiger!
The Vermillion Bird of the North!
Southern Black Tortoise!
It was referring to the Four Symbols Sanctums of Zoroastrianism.
The reason Duan Lingtian went to look for Zhu Lüqi first was because the White Tiger Sanctum where Zhu Lüqi was at was the closest to the Black Turtle Sanctum.
Although it was very close to the Saint Land of Zoroastrianism to the Vermilion Bird Sanctum in the north, there was a rule in Zoroastrianism that stated those who were not Saint Land disciples were not allowed to enter the Saint Land. Otherwise, they would be severely punished!
For this reason, Duan Lingtian could only take a detour if he wanted to go to the Vermilion Bird Sanctum.
This detour would lead him to either the Azure Dragon Sanctum or the White Tiger Sanctum.
Since Duan Lingtian was going to look for Zhu Lüqi, he, naturally, chose to take a detour through the White Tiger Sanctum.
In the Four Symbols Sanctums of Zoroastrianism, the disciples of the other Sanctums would occasionally interact with each other. For this reason, Duan Lingtian's appearance in the White Tiger Sanctum did not attract the attention of the disciples of the White Tiger Sanctum.
After entering the White Tiger Sanctum, Duan Lingtian immediately went to the Central Altar of the White Tiger Sanctum.
Naturally, he could only go near the Central Altar.
The disciples of the other three Sanctums were not allowed to go near the Central Altar of the White Tiger Sanctum. This was because there was a gigantic White Tiger statue there. The statue contained the Divine Ability that only the disciples of the White Tiger Sanctum could comprehend. It was a high-grade offensive Divine Ability!
If the disciples of the other three Sanctums dared to go near it, they would be expelled from Zoroastrianism even if they did not extend their Divine Consciousness into the White Tiger statue to comprehend the Divine Ability.
If they managed to comprehend the Divine Ability, they would be executed by Zoroastrianism!
"It's said that the central altar of each of the Four Symbols Sanctums is surrounded by a Formation that isolates Divine Consciousness. It's to isolate the Divine Consciousness of non-White Tiger Sanctum's disciples from comprehending the Divine Abilities of the White Tiger Sanctum …"
As Duan Lingtian muttered to himself, he extended his Divine Consciousness.
When he approached the Central Altar of the White Tiger Sanctum, he was blocked and could not advance any further.
'As expected, there's a Formation here! Unless I enter the Central Altar of the White Tiger Sanctum, my Divine Consciousness won't be able to penetrate it, let alone comprehend the Divine Ability of the White Tiger Sanctum recorded in the White Tiger statue. '
After verifying it, Duan Lingtian withdrew his Divine Consciousness in time.
At the same time, Duan Lingtian saw a White Tiger Sanctum's disciple walking out of the Central Altar toward him.
He immediately stepped forward to block the other party's path and asked politely, "Senior Brother, where do the White Tiger Sanctum's disciples live? I have a friend who's also a White Tiger Sanctum's disciple, and I'm looking for him. "
This White Tiger Sanctum's disciple was wearing a white robe that was similar to the robe Duan Lingtian was wearing. There were also faint gray flames embroidered on it.
The only difference between the robe and the robe he was wearing was the pattern of a majestic giant tiger while the robe he was wearing had a pattern of a giant tortoise.
It was the difference between the White Tiger Sanctum's disciple's robe and the Black Turtle Sanctum's disciple's robe.
"The White Tiger Sanctum's disciples live in the southern area of the White Tiger Sanctum's estate. Since you're a Black Turtle Sanctum's disciple, you must have come from the Black Turtle Sanctum. You must have passed by there earlier. "
The White Tiger Sanctum's disciple pointed behind Duan Lingtian and said to Duan Lingtian, "It just so happens that I'm going to my residence. You can come with me."
"Thank you, Senior Brother!"
Duan Lingtian quickly thanked him.
"How should I address you, Junior Brother?"
The White Tiger Sanctum's disciple broke the silence as he asked.
"Duan Lingtian."
Duan Lingtian replied with a smile. At the same time, he asked politely, "How should I address you, Senior Brother?"
"My name is Liu Mu."
As soon as Liu Mu, the White Tiger Sanctum's disciple, finished speaking, he seemed to have recalled something. After exclaiming in surprise, he muttered to himself, "Duan Lingtian … Where have I heard this name before?"
"Duan Lingtian, Black Turtle Sanctum …"
Liu Mu suddenly looked at Duan Lingtian and said in shock, "You're that troublesome Duan Lingtian from the Black Turtle Sanctum?"
"Troublesome?"
Duan Lingtian was stunned. Then, he asked, "Senior Brother Liu Mu, did you get the wrong person?"
"How many Duan Lingtian are there in the Black Turtle Sanctum?"
Liu Mu asked again.
"I've just arrived in the Black Turtle Sanctum not long ago, so I don't know many people in the Black Turtle Sanctum. Therefore, I don't know if there's anyone with the same name as me."
Duan Lingtian shook his head and said.
"You've just arrived in the Black Turtle Sanctum not long ago? From what I know, that troublesome Duan Lingtian from the Black Turtle Sanctum has also just arrived in the Black Turtle Sanctum not long ago. He's from the latest batch of people who passed the selection and entered the Black Turtle Sanctum! "
Liu Mu's eyes gleamed as he stared at Duan Lingtian.
"The latest batch?"
Duan Lingtian smiled wryly. "Senior Brother Liu Mu, if that Duan Lingtian you're talking about is from the latest batch of people who passed the selection and entered the Black Turtle Sanctum, I think I must be the troublesome person you're talking about, Senior Brother Liu Mu."
"You're really the troublesome person?"
Liu Mu asked in shock. "From what I know, you've offended the Black Turtle Sanctum's First Silver Flame Elder Li An as soon as you arrived in the Black Turtle Sanctum. Ten days ago, you even killed a martial genius with a blue Innate Spiritual Root who was about to become Li An's direct disciple!
From what I know, you're only at the Early Exemplary Saint Stage when you killed that martial genius whose cultivation base was at the peak of the Exemplary Saint Stage! "
As Liu Mu spoke, he looked at Duan Lingtian.
"I was just lucky."
Duan Lingtian shook his head humbly. At the same time, he was slightly surprised. He did not expect news of his deeds had already spread to the White Tiger Sanctum.
"You don't have to be humble."
Liu Mu shook his head and continued to say, "Although your strength is shocking, it's not your strength that I admire the most! It's the fact that you've offended Elder Li An as soon as you arrived in the Black Turtle Sanctum.
Put aside the fact that my cultivation base is only at the Mastery Quintessential Saint Stage, even if my cultivation base has broken through to the peak of the Quintessential Saint Stage or even the Saint Celestial Stage, I still wouldn't dare to offend Elder Li An from the Black Turtle Sanctum! It's even more impossible for me to kill his prospective direct disciple.
For this reason, put everything else aside, I, Liu Mu, admire you for this! "
When Liu Mu reached the end of his sentence, he gave Duan Lingtian a big thumbs up.
Upon hearing Liu Mu's words and seeing his actions, Duan Lingtian was rendered speechless. He was also shocked by Liu Mu's cultivation base.
He did not expect to encounter a White Tiger Sanctum's disciple who was at the Mastery Quintessential Saint Stage when he was just asking for directions.
"Senior Brother Liu Mu, as far as I know, Four Symbols Sanctums' disciples who are at the Mastery Quintessential Saint Stage can participate in the Saint Land's assessment to become a Saint Land disciple.
