He stood up from the bed and opened the door. He had officially come out of closed-door cultivation!
"Daddy! Daddy! Daddy!"
Duan Lingtian had just opened the door when he heard an excited voice coming from the front. The voice was getting closer and closer.
When he took a closer look, he saw his daughter, Duan Si Ling, running toward him with her arms wide open when she saw him opening the door.
Her delicate little face was filled with excitement.
"Si Ling."
Duan Lingtian smiled as he crouched down to catch Duan Si Ling who was running toward him. Then, he carried her in his arms.
Duan Si Ling was already ten years old.
However, because she had not interacted with many people, and had not interacted with people of the same age, her temperament was still as naive and unaffected as before.
In front of Duan Lingtian, she was like a little princess.
In Duan Lingtian's eyes, she was his little princess, his one and only little princess!
"Daddy … Why do I feel like you're different now?"
Duan Si Ling blinked her big eyes as she studied Duan Lingtian from head to toe. When she spoke, she noticed Duan Lingtian's aura was different from before.
Before he entered closed-door cultivation, Duan Lingtian's cultivation base was only at the Sixth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage.
However, after he entered closed-door cultivation, Duan Lingtian's cultivation base had broken through to the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. His temperament and aura had changed as well.
Although Duan Si Ling had not officially started cultivating, she had a black Profound Spirit.
However, since Duan Si Ling possessed a black Innate Spiritual Root, she had extraordinary senses. Although she did not have a high cultivation base, she could still sense the change in Duan Ling Tian's aura.
Naturally, she did not know what the change in aura was. All she knew was that her father gave her a different feeling.
"Daddy has broken through!"
Duan Lingtian said with a smile as he patted his daughter's head affectionately.
"Wow! Daddy is so awesome! "
Duan Si Ling's eyes brightened when she heard Duan Lingtian's words. "In other words, daddy, you've broken through to the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, the Heaven Defying Form, and you'll be immortal in the future?"
Duan Lingtian had told Duan Si Ling that his cultivation base was at the Sixth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. He had also told her about the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, the Heaven Defying Form.
For this reason, he was not surprised when he heard Duan Si Ling's words. He merely smiled and nodded.
When Duan Si Ling saw Duan Lingtian nodding, her delicate face fell. She looked like a little adult with a troubled expression on her face.
"What happened?"
This was the first time Duan Lingtian had seen his daughter like this, and he couldn't help but be stunned.
She didn't know why her daughter suddenly became like this.
"Daddy, Si Ling wants to cultivate too."
Duan Si Ling pouted playfully. "Si Ling wants to be immortal as well. Otherwise, when I'm old and pass away, it'll be boring for you to be immortal by yourself. Si Ling wants to be immortal with you, daddy. "
Upon hearing his daughter's words, Duan Lingtian finally understood what was going on.
Duan Lingtian smiled and said, "Si Ling, you can cultivate if you want. However, I'll have to ask for your mother's permission. If she doesn't mind, I'll teach you how to cultivate, alright?"
"Daddy, mommy has no objections. She asked me to wait for daddy to come out of closed-door cultivation so daddy can teach me how to cultivate."
Duan Si Ling giggled.
"You'll have to ask your mommy first."
Duan Lingtian said affectionately as he patted Duan Si Ling's head.
As soon as Duan Lingtian finished speaking, a voice rang in the air.
"Brother Tian, you've come out of closed-door cultivation?"
A light and pleasant voice that was filled with pleasant surprise sounded from nearby as a beautiful woman walked out of the room adjacent to Duan Ling Tian's room.
It was none other than Kerr.
Kerr had also come out of her room when she heard the commotion.
"Yes."
When Duan Lingtian saw Kerr, the doting look in his eyes turned gentle. It was as though it could melt anything.
"Mommy, daddy has agreed to teach me how to cultivate!"
Duan Si Ling waved at Kerr as she said excitedly to Kerr.
Before Kerr could reply, Duan Lingtian said, "I thought since Si Ling is already ten years old, it's fine if she wants to cultivate.
However, it's up to you. If you think it's fine, I'll teach her. If you don't think it's fine, we'll wait for another two years. "
Duan Si Ling was stunned when she heard Duan Lingtian's words. When she regained her senses, tears began to well up in her eyes. "Daddy, what are you talking about? Didn't you promise me earlier? "
At this moment, Duan Si Ling's eyes were brimming with tears. She looked pitiful.
"I did promise you earlier, but your mommy has to agree. If your mommy doesn't agree, I won't dare to teach you."
Duan Lingtian's heart ached when he saw Duan Si Ling's expression. He smiled as he patted her head.
Kerr was the one who brought up their daughter.
He had always felt guilty towards Ke Er, so when it came to his daughter's cultivation, he decided to listen to Ke Er's opinion and not make the decision himself.
Naturally, even if Duan Lingtian did not have such a reason, it would not be appropriate for him to make such a decision.
After all, their daughter did not belong to him alone. She belonged to both him and Kerr.
As their daughter's mother, Kerr had the right to express her opinion. Duan Lingtian did not have the right to deny her this right.
"Mommy …"
Upon hearing Duan Lingtian's words, Duan Si Ling knew the decision was still in her mother's hands. She looked at her mother again and pouted. "You promised Si Ling earlier. You can't go back on your word."
At this moment, Kerr finally arrived in front of Duan Lingtian and Duan Si Ling.
"Brother Tian, I'll listen to you."
Ke Er said to Duan Ling Tian. She had the appearance of a woman singing along with her husband.
Duan Ling Tian's words earlier showed how much he cared for her and how much he respected her. It made her feel warm in her heart.
Just like that, the matter was settled.
Duan Si Ling began to cultivate.
"Kerr, how long did I spend in closed-door cultivation?"
Duan Ling Tian looked at Ke Er and asked after he finally remembered the important matter.
"Twenty days."
Kerr replied.
"Only twenty days?"
Duan Lingtian raised an eyebrow in surprise. Initially, he thought he would have spent at least 25 days in closed-door cultivation.
He did not expect it would only take him twenty days.
"Kerr, I'm going out for a while … I'll be back in an hour at most."
Duan Lingtian turned to look at Kerr and greeted Kerr after he found out how long he had been in closed-door cultivation.
Duan Lingtian comforted his daughter for a while before he handed her over to Kerr. Then, he left the inn that belonged to the Crimson Blaze Palace, one of the Three Palaces and Six Halls in the Human-Devil clan.
There was only one reason Duan Lingtian wanted to leave.
He wanted to test his strength and see how strong he had become.
After all, although his cultivation base had broken through to the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, the Heaven Defying Form, he had no idea how much his strength had improved or what it was like.
Before he tested his strength, he would not be able to come to a conclusion.
After leaving the inn, Duan Lingtian left the Human-Devil Saint City. After about 15 minutes, he arrived at an empty desert.
Duan Lingtian stood in the air above the desert and extended his Divine Consciousness. He could not detect any signs of life.
In other words, not only was there no one around, but there were also no signs of life.
Even the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy was thin.
'My Sun Saint Origin …'
With just a thought, Duan Lingtian's Sun Saint Origin surged out of his body through his 99 Saint Veins. In just a blink of an eye, it surged out of his body and emitted a majestic aura.
It was as though the ancient beast that had been lurking in Duan Lingtian's body had awakened.
The number of Saint Veins in one's body directly affected the speed at which one could mobilize energy.
The more Saint Veins one had, the faster one could mobilize energy.
It was the same the other way around.
However, due to the low level of power in the mundane realms, people in the mundane realms did not rely on Saint Veins as much as people in the Devata Realms.
Naturally, the Saint Veins were not called Saint Veins in the Devata Realms.
Instead, they were called Heavenly Veins.
"Elementary Devouring Tactic!"
After mobilizing the Sun Saint Origin in his body, Duan Lingtian did not remain idle. He immediately cast the assist-type Divine Ability, the Elementary Devouring Tactic, to devour the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in his surroundings.
After devouring the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in his surroundings, Duan Lingtian moved to another location.
He had to change locations.
Although he could continue to devour the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in his surroundings, the efficiency would be greatly reduced.
If he changed locations, he would be able to devour the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in his surroundings.
Change locations!
Continue to devour!
Change locations!
Continue to devour!
…
After repeating this several times, Duan Ling Tian's Sun Saint Origin was raised to its maximum after a dozen breaths of time.
However, the Sun Saint Origin that had been raised to its limit did not surprise Duan Lingtian at all.
Not only was he not surprised, but he was also slightly disappointed.
"It's still the same as before … Could this be the bottleneck that Huo Lao mentioned to me before?"
Duan Lingtian muttered to himself with a frown on his face.
Currently, the Sun Saint Origin in his body that had been raised to its limit was similar to the Divine Ability, the Elementary Devouring Tactic, that he had cast before he had broken through to the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage.
It was as though he had encountered a bottleneck that was difficult to break.
"Huo Lao said before that powerhouses at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage will face a bottleneck before they pass the Heavenly Tribulation. This bottleneck can only be broken after passing the Heavenly Tribulation! "
