Six days passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, Duan Lingtian appeared out of thin air in the only Primus room in the Four Symbols Sanctums' First Mine's Punishment Zone.
After putting away the Seven Treasures Jewel Pagoda, Duan Lingtian pushed open the door and came to the front yard of the huge mansion. He raised his head to look at the sky and took a deep breath. "The heavens do not disappoint those who work hard … I finally succeeded in comprehending it!"
Almost as soon as Duan Lingtian finished speaking.
Boundless Sun Saint Power immediately swept out of his body through the 99 Saint Veins in his body. When it spread out, it formed a huge shadow around his body.
It was the silhouette of a Black Tortoise.
At the same time, the light of the Sun Saint Force was faintly discernible on the Black Tortoise's shadow.
The gigantic shadow of the Black Tortoise protected Duan Lingtian within, leaving no gaps!
Clearly, this was the most powerful Divine Ability of the Black Turtle Sanctum, the Black Turtle's Barrier, that Duan Lingtian had successfully comprehended and mastered. It was also the number one Divine Ability of Zoroastrianism!
"Now, all the high-grade divine abilities I've mastered … offensive divine abilities, defensive divine abilities, movement divine abilities, and support divine abilities … are all gathered!"
A satisfied smile appeared on Duan Lingtian's face as he withdrew the Black Tortoise silhouette.
"Since I've successfully comprehended the 'Black Tortoise's Barrier', there's no need for me to mine Saint Stones today … I can leave now!"
Duan Lingtian's eyes lit up. He rose into the air and flew away from the residence of the Four Symbols Sanctums' disciples in the First Mine's Punishment Zone.
In the past few days, although Duan Lingtian had been comprehending the divine ability, the Black Tortoise's Barrier, he still took some time out to mine Saint Stones to complete the missions given to the Four Symbols Sanctums' disciples serving in the First Mine.
Of course, while completing the mission, he also threw a lot of first-grade Saint Stones into the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda.
He found another Quasi Celestial Grade Saint Stone Mine, but it was not as big as the one he found before. He casually threw it into the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda.
"Where should we go now?"
After leaving the residence of the Four Symbols Sanctums' disciples in the First Mine's Punishment Zone, Duan Lingtian did not know where he could go to display his Divine Ability, the Black Turtle's Barrier, in order to be pardoned.
Finally, he went to the registration area of the new disciples in the Punishment Zone of the Four Symbols Sanctums' First Mine.
What a coincidence.
The one on duty today was the same Elder from the Punishment District whom he had met the other day.
The eyes of the Punishment District's elder, who was wearing the exclusive uniform of the Vermilion Bird Sanctum's Bronze Flame Elder, lit up when he saw Duan Lingtian. At the same time, a puzzled expression appeared on his face. "Duan Lingtian, you … What's the matter?"
He had heard that Duan Lingtian was a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior and that his strength was almost on par with a Saint Celestial Stage powerhouse after he transformed into a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior.
Therefore, when facing the Duan Lingtian now, he was even more polite than before.
"Elder, I would like to ask … If I want to be pardoned by the Four Symbols Sanctums' First Mine, who should I look for?"
Duan Lingtian asked straightforwardly.
"Pardoned?"
The Vermilion Bird Sanctum's Bronze Flame Elder was stunned when he heard Duan Lingtian's words. Then, he smiled wryly. "Duan Lingtian, I know you're very strong … However, if you want to be pardoned, you'll have to pass the Saint Land's assessment and become a Saint Land disciple first!
When you participate in the Saint Land's assessment, you can apply to leave the Punishment Zone of the Four Symbols Sanctums' First Mine temporarily. "
The Vermilion Bird Sanctum's Bronze Flame Elder explained patiently.
"Elder … As far as I know, if one manages to comprehend the Divine Ability from one of the Sanctums' most treasured Sanctums, one can be pardoned directly, right? I remember Senior Brother Sun De did the same! "
Duan Lingtian said again.
Gasp!
The moment Duan Lingtian's words left his mouth, the Vermilion Bird Sanctum's Bronze Flame Elder narrowed his eyes immediately. At the same time, he gasped in shock. "Y-You've successfully comprehended the Black Turtle Sanctum's most treasured Divine Ability, the Black Turtle's Barrier?!"
"Yes."
As Duan Lingtian nodded, the Sun Saint Energy on his body surged out and transformed into the silhouette of a gigantic Black Turtle.
"It's really the Black Turtle's Barrier!"
The Vermilion Bird Sanctum's Bronze Flame Elder could not help but gasp when he saw the Black Turtle's silhouette.
In less than a month, two Black Turtle Sanctum's disciples had successfully comprehended the Black Turtle's Barrier, the Black Turtle's Barrier!
Did they not say that the Black Turtle Sanctum's most treasured Divine Ability was the most difficult to comprehend?
Was this a joke?
Since Duan Lingtian had comprehended the Black Turtle Sanctum's most treasured Divine Ability, the Black Turtle's Barrier, the rest was easy.
The Vermilion Bird Sanctum's Bronze Flame Elder at the registration office contacted another Punishment Zone's elder and asked him to bring Duan Lingtian to the Saint Land's Silver Flame Elder who was in charge of pardoning.
As long as Duan Lingtian cast the Black Turtle Sanctum's most treasured Divine Ability, the Black Turtle's Barrier, in front of the Silver Flame Elder, he would be pardoned and be able to leave the Four Symbols Sanctums' First Mine to head to the Saint Land and become a Saint Land disciple!
Whoosh!
Under the Silver Flame Elder's watchful eyes, Duan Lingtian cast the Divine Ability, the Black Turtle's Barrier, again. A gigantic Black Turtle's silhouette appeared and protected him.
Upon seeing this, even the Saint Land's Silver Flame Elder could not help but gasp.
"Duan Lingtian, you really live up to your reputation! I heard that you've already mastered three high-grade Divine Abilities. Now that you've mastered a high-grade defensive Divine Ability, you've mastered four types of high-grade Divine Abilities! "
An envious expression could be seen on the Silver Flame Elder's face as he spoke.
Even he had only mastered two high-grade Divine Abilities!
However, the person in front of him had mastered a total of four high-grade abilities, and they were all different types of high-grade abilities.
Offensive Divine Ability!
Defensive Divine Ability!
Movement Divine Ability!
Assist-type Divine Ability!
He was envious and jealous of Duan Lingtian for having all four of them.
"This is the pardon document. From now on, you no longer have to serve in the Four Symbols Sanctums' First Mine."
The Silver Flame Elder raised his hand and handed the pardon document to Duan Lingtian.
With this pardon document, Duan Lingtian would no longer be obstructed when he left the Four Symbols Sanctums' First Mine.
Otherwise, he would have been stopped by the patrolling elders of the Four Symbols Sanctums' First Mine before he could leave.
"Duan Lingtian, you've already successfully comprehended the Black Turtle Sanctum's most treasured Divine Ability, the Black Turtle's Barrier, so you can head to the Saint Land directly. As long as you cast the Divine Ability, the Black Turtle's Barrier, in front of the patrolling elders of the Saint Land, he'll bring you to the Saint Land to register as a Saint Land disciple!
"Before that, if you have any trivial matters to attend to in the Black Turtle Sanctum, it's best for you to return first. After all, once you become a Saint Land disciple, it'll be difficult for you to return to the Four Symbols Sanctums. "
The Silver Flame Elder reminded Duan Lingtian before he left.
However, Duan Lingtian did not have any trivial matters to attend to in the Black Turtle Sanctum.
For this reason, after he left the Four Symbols Sanctums' First Mine, he directly made his way to the Saint Land.
Soon after, he was stopped by the patrolling elders of the Saint Land.
After Duan Lingtian cast the Divine Ability, the Black Turtle's Barrier, the Black Turtle's Barrier, the patrolling elders brought him into the Saint Land.
It was Duan Lingtian's first time in the Saint Land of Zoroastrianism. He looked around curiously.
The Saint Land of Zoroastrianism was a barren desert. There were mountains and rivers, but there was not even a hint of green.
In this barren land, apart from the mountains and rivers, the most common thing one could see was red. From afar, the red color looked like red flowers.
However, they were not real flowers.
For humans, it was a very representative thing. Without it, survival would be a problem.
Flames!
The red 'flowers' that filled the ancient and mysterious barren land were the flames that humans relied on to survive.
Especially in this desert, the flames were like a veil of mystery and supremacy.
Spacious' altars' could be seen everywhere in this barren land.
In the center of these altars, there were large braziers that were held up by brackets. Dazzling flames rose from the braziers, and a scorching aura swept out. It turned into heatwaves that hit the people in the surroundings, causing many of them to break out in cold sweat.
However, these people did not feel uncomfortable or disgusted. Instead, they prostrated themselves on the ground and kowtowed to the braziers.
To be more precise, they were kowtowing to the flames that rose from the braziers.
Upon closer inspection, one could see their eyes were filled with reverence when they looked at the flames. It was as though each of them was a devout believer of the flames, and the flames were their religion.
This was indeed the case.
These people were natives of the Saint Land of Zoroastrianism. They were ordinary people who were self-sufficient and lived in seclusion.
They believed in the flames, and they were the most devout believers of the flames.
In their eyes, the flames were everything. Only with the flames could there be a world.
'Is this how the Christian name of Zoroastrianism came about?'
Duan Lingtian thought to himself as he looked at the group of people who were devoutly worshipping the flames.
Duan Lingtian continued to follow the Saint Land's patrolling elder. Behind the barren land, a group of active volcanoes appeared.
The peaks of the volcanoes continued to spit out scorching flames. Every time it spat out flames, it would fill the sky with a red glow, causing the surrounding environment to become extremely bright.
"In the Saint Land of Zoroastrianism, due to the existence of these volcanoes, there's never night. Perhaps, night will only truly descend when these active volcanoes no longer spit out flames!"
The Saint Land's patrolling elder explained.
"That volcano …"
Soon after, Duan Lingtian saw a gigantic volcano.
This volcano was surrounded by active volcanoes that continued to spit out flames. It was like a moon surrounded by stars. It was like an emperor.
However, since it did not spit out flames, it formed a strong contrast with the active volcanoes around it.
"This volcano is also an active volcano. However, the frequency of its spitting flames is not high. It only spits out flames once a month."
As though he saw Duan Lingtian's confusion, the Saint Land's patrolling elder explained.
