"I'm useless. I've embarrassed you, father."
Upon hearing Dong Yuan Jin's words, Dong Lin lowered his head in shame. However, his eyes gleamed coldly.
Naturally, the coldness in his eyes was not directed at his father. It was directed at Duan Lingtian!
If it was not for Duan Lingtian, he would not have come to his father to avenge him.
If he had not come to his father to avenge him, he would not have heard his father's words that were filled with disappointment.
From the beginning until the end, Dong Lin resented Duan Lingtian.
He did not expect it was all because he was useless!
Moreover, he was not the one who provoked Duan Lingtian first.
If he had a backbone, he could have relied on his own efforts to cultivate and seek revenge. Why would he come to his father for help?
"Your Innate Spiritual Root is the same as his. Both of you have a blue Innate Spiritual Root … I hope you'll be able to defeat him with your own strength one day instead of coming to me to teach him a lesson!"
Dong Yuan Jin looked at Dong Lin solemnly and said, "As for this time, I'll ask Elder Yang to speak to Tian Dong. You can look for Tian Dong tomorrow!"
"Elder Tian Dong?!"
Upon hearing Dong Yuan Jin's words, Dong Lin's eyes lit up immediately. An excited expression could be seen on his face.
Tian Dong was the First Silver Flame Elder of the Enforcement Hall!
He had received his father's favor in the past and was considered one of his subordinates.
How could Dong Lin not be excited when he heard his father was going to ask Tian Dong to teach Duan Lingtian a lesson?
When Dong Yuanjin saw that Dong Lin was so excited after hearing his words, a hint of disappointment appeared in his eyes. He shook his head, turned around, and left the backyard to return to his residence.
Although he was disappointed, there was nothing he could do.
After all, Dong Lin was his only son. He was everything to him.
Regardless of whether his son was useful or not, Dong Lin was his lifeblood and everything to him.
Naturally, he could not stand it when someone bullied his son.
Although Duan Lingtian had bullied his son, he did not cross the line. Due to this reason, it was inconvenient for him to make a move.
"Farewell, father!"
At the same time, Dong Lin regained his senses and said respectfully as he watched Dong Yuan Jin leave.
"Elder Yang, I'll go back first. I'll look for Elder Tian Dong tomorrow … You must remember to look for Elder Tian Dong today!"
Before leaving, Dong Lin looked at Elder Yang and reminded him.
"I'll go now."
It wasn't until he saw Old Man Yang rising into the air that Dong Lin left in satisfaction.
Looking at Dong Lin's back, Elder Yang let out a long sigh and muttered, "It's no wonder that Master is disappointed with the Young Master …."
Duan Lingtian was naturally unaware that Dong Lin had gone to look for his father, the Vice Hall Master of the Enforcement Hall, Dong Yuan Jin, to stand up for him.
Right now, Duan Lingtian was seriously cultivating on the fourth floor of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda.
His next goal was to break through to the Intermediate Exemplary Saint Stage!
In that case, he would be able to defeat ordinary powerhouses at the Second Form of the Saint Celestial Stage even without using the Jasper Celestial Sword.
Naturally, he would only be able to defeat ordinary powerhouses at the Second Form of the Saint Celestial Stage.
Even if he had broken through to the Intermediate Exemplary Saint Stage, he would still be no match for powerhouses at the Second Form of the Saint Celestial Stage like Wen Yan if he did not use the Jasper Celestial Sword.
He would not be able to defeat powerhouses at the same level as Gan Ru Yan.
In terms of strength, powerhouses at the Second Form of the Saint Celestial Stage were divided.
For example, Gan Ru Yan could barely be ranked on the Supreme Saint Ranking in the Dao Martial Saint Land. On the other hand, powerhouses like Wen Yan and Liu Yun were not even qualified to be ranked on the Supreme Saint Ranking.
'If I break through to the Intermediate Exemplary Saint Stage, I should be able to defeat Senior Brother Liu Yun without using the Jasper Celestial Sword … If I break through to the Mastery Exemplary Saint Stage, I should be able to defeat Wen Yan without using the Jasper Celestial Sword!'
Duan Lingtian thought to himself, 'As for Kerr's sister, Gan Ru Yan, who's a powerhouse at the Second Form of the Saint Celestial Stage … I'm afraid I'll have to break through to the peak of the Exemplary Saint Stage to defeat her without using the Jasper Celestial Sword!'
Duan Lingtian had not wasted his time in the Saint Land of Zoroastrianism.
He now had a clear understanding of the strength levels of powerhouses at the Second Form of the Saint Celestial Stage.
'Gan Ru Yan isn't even at the peak of the Second Form of the Saint Celestial Stage … I'll have to break through to the Intermediate Quintessential Saint Stage if I want to defeat a powerhouse at the peak of the Second Form of the Saint Celestial Stage without using the Jasper Celestial Sword!'
Duan Ling Tian was well aware of this as well.
Although the Second Form of the Saint Celestial Stage was just a cultivation base, there was a huge difference between those at the peak of the Second Form of the Saint Celestial Stage and those who had just broken through to the Second Form of the Saint Celestial Stage.
The gap between each of the Nine Forms of the Saint Celestial Stage was huge.
It was comparable to the gap between the Exemplary Saint Stage and the Quintessential Saint Stage and the Divine Saint Stage and the Exemplary Saint Stage.
Due to this reason, Duan Ling Tian's cultivation speed was insane.
He knew he had to raise his cultivation base as soon as possible if he wanted to rescue Kerr and their daughter.
He wanted to be strong enough to rescue Kerr and their daughter before the Sect Leader of Zoroastrianism came out of closed-door cultivation.
Otherwise, who knew what would happen after the Sect Leader of Zoroastrianism came out of closed-door cultivation?
Duan Lingtian did not want any unforeseen circumstances to happen.
The night passed by quickly.
To Duan Lingtian, one night in the outside world was equivalent to five days in the fourth level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda.
Due to this reason, he also cultivated properly. His cultivation base was getting closer and closer to the Intermediate Exemplary Saint Stage.
Just as Duan Ling Tian was about to leave his residence in the Main Hall of the Enforcement Hall and head to the patrol post on the west side of the Enforcement Hall, a voice rang out.
In a mysterious, eerie, and strange place, Zhu Lüqi cut a sorry figure.
That was right.
Zhu Lüqi was the former Palace Master of Heaven Palace in the Dobusei Subterranean quasi third-rate force, the Mystical Sky Mansion. Due to the fact that he had cultivated the Devouring Dark Devil Technique, he was no longer tolerated by the people in the Dobusei Subterranean.
However, he had followed Duan Lingtian to the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land and joined one of the three great sects, Zoroastrianism. He had even joined the White Tiger Sanctum, one of the Four Symbols Sanctums of Zoroastrianism.
Before Duan Lingtian entered the Zoroastrianism Saint Land, he had asked the Black Turtle Sanctum's Enforcement Elder, Guo Xiong, to help him send Zhu Lüqi to the Inter-province Transportation Formation in the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land so that he could send Zhu Lüqi back to the Dobusei Subterranean.
Duan Lingtian had asked Zhu Lüqi to return to the Dobusei Subterranean because he wanted Zhu Lüqi to inform the Azure Cloud Mansion.
After all, he had offended Li An in the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land because of Zoroastrianism. Moreover, he had formed a feud with Yang Chong, the fifth elder of the Northern Plethora Sect, a first-rate force in the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land.
Now that he had exposed his identity as a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior, Li An and Yang Chong would most likely guess that he was from the Lower Province.
If Li An or Yang Chong sent someone to the Lower Province to investigate, they would be able to find out about his background in just a short time.
This was because although not everyone in the Lower Province knew about his name, Duan Lingtian, in the Dobusei Subterranean, there were many people who knew about it.
Whether it was Li An or Yang Chong, as long as they sent someone to the Lower Province, they would definitely find out he was from the quasi third-rate force, the Azure Cloud Mansion.
At that time, the Azure Cloud Mansion would definitely be annihilated!
Under such circumstances, Duan Lingtian chose to send Zhu Lüqi back to the Azure Cloud Mansion in the Dobusei Subterranean first to report the matter.
Duan Lingtian believed that as long as his father, Duan Rufeng, received the news in advance, he would definitely be able to arrange everything in a short time and successfully avoid the annihilation.
However, Duan Lingtian did not expect this at all.
After Zhu Lüqi entered the Inter-province Transportation Formation, something unexpected happened!
He was not sent to the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land. Instead, he was sent to a mysterious, eerie, and strange place.
This place was filled with a greyish haze.
The sky here was dark. There was no distinction between day and night.
Recently, Zhu Lüqi had already gotten used to this.
"What's this place? It doesn't seem like the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land nor the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land … "
Zhu Lüqi raised his head to look at the sky. A blood-red moon hung in the sky as though it was dyed in blood. It was extremely eerie and strange.
It was the moon that lit up the dark sky.
"The Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy here is even worse than the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land … Moreover, I feel like I've been walking around here for a few months, but I haven't seen a single living person at all! Let alone a human, I haven't even seen a single beast! "
Walking in the barren forest in a daze, Zhu Lüqi felt extremely depressed as he walked past the withered trees. He felt like he was going crazy!
Since there was no distinction between day and night here, he did not know how long he had been here.
However, it felt like a long time had passed. It felt like a few months.
Naturally, the truth was that Zhu Lüqi had not been here for that long.
It was just that the atmosphere here was too eerie and strange. Moreover, he could not see any living things. As time passed, he began to feel extremely frustrated. He felt like he had been here for a long time.
Zhu Lüqi felt disgusted by this place from the bottom of his heart.
However, he did not know how to get back.
"What's going on with the Inter-province Transportation Formation? Why did I end up in such a godforsaken place? What's this place? "
Zhu Lüqi was extremely frustrated. He was on the verge of breaking down.
However, when he was on the verge of breaking down, he calmed down a little and carefully observed his surroundings.
In the end, he realized he seemed to be walking in the same spot all the way.
The scenery he experienced kept repeating. It was as though he was trapped in a dead end.
"Illusory Formation?"
At this moment, Zhu Lüqi's heart jolted. At the same time, he came to a halt and did not continue to move forward.
This was because he realized it would be useless even if he continued to move forward. In the end, he was still walking in the same spot.
"Tsk tsk … This fellow seems to have noticed me."
