"Father!"
As soon as Duan Ling Tian opened his eyes, he heard a familiar exclamation. He did not even have the time to check his Sun Saint Origin that had reached its limit without the help of the Elementary Devouring Tactic.
"Si Ling!"
Duan Lingtian turned to look at the source of the voice.
There was a young girl who was about twelve or thirteen years old standing there.
'Si Ling has grown so big …'
Duan Lingtian's heart skipped a beat when he saw the young girl. 'It should have been three years since I went into closed-door cultivation, right?'
When Duan Lingtian was in closed-door cultivation, he had already made a preliminary deduction.
Three years should be enough for him to break through to the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage.
Now that he had broken through to the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, it meant three years had passed.
When he saw his daughter standing before him, he was even more certain that he had been in closed-door cultivation for a long time.
At this moment, Duan Ling Tian's heart was filled with guilt.
His daughter had grown from a little girl to a beautiful young girl during the time he was in closed-door cultivation. He felt that he had failed to be a father to his daughter.
"Father, you're finally out!"
Although Duan Si Ling had grown into a young girl, her temperament was still the same. When she saw Duan Lingtian, she immediately flew into Duan Lingtian's arms.
Naturally, Duan Ling Tian caught her and smiled faintly. "Si Ling, you've grown so big in just a blink of an eye. I almost couldn't recognize you."
"Father, you've been in closed-door cultivation for almost three years."
Duan Si Ling pouted and said to Duan Lingtian with a pitiful expression on her face.
"It's all my fault … Father, you shouldn't have been in closed-door cultivation for so long."
Duan Lingtian smiled dotingly. His tone was even gentler now.
"Father, mother misses you very much too."
Currently, Duan Si Ling had grown into a slender and elegant young lady. Although she still acted like a little girl in front of Duan Lingtian, she had matured and become more sensible as she grew older.
Therefore, after spending some time in Duan Lingtian's embrace, she left Duan Lingtian's embrace and held Duan Lingtian's hand as they walked towards Kerr.
At this time, she sensibly stepped aside and stood beside Gan Ru Yan.
"Kerr."
Looking at Kerr, Duan Lingtian's eyes were filled with tenderness.
"Brother Tian."
Kerr muttered softly as she looked at the man who had captivated her. Then, she threw herself into Duan Lingtian's arms and hugged Duan Lingtian tightly. It was as though she did not want to let go of him.
Duan Ling Tian had a guilty expression on his face as he hugged Ke Er in his arms, and they shared a warm moment together.
At this moment, silence spoke louder than words.
It was as though their hearts were stuck together and could not be separated.
"Master!"
Peng Lai who was standing nearby could not help but have a complicated expression on his face when he saw Duan Lingtian coming out of closed-door cultivation.
It was his master who had helped him raise his Innate Spiritual Root to an indigo Innate Spiritual Root.
Moreover, it was a dark indigo Innate Spiritual Root!
In these three years, his cultivation base had broken through to the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, making him another elder at the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage in the Wandering Saint Palace.
Usually, it would be a joyous occasion for him to break through to the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage.
However, he could not bring himself to feel happy at this moment.
This was because he knew even if his cultivation base had broken through to the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, he would still be regarded as a traitor by the Wandering Saint Palace. Let alone being an elder in the Wandering Saint Palace, he might not even be able to survive.
If he was not bound by the lightning penalty oath, he would still have a choice.
But now, he had no choice but to follow his master to the end.
'I can only hope that master who has been in closed-door cultivation for three years will be able to create a miracle. That way, I'll be able to survive!'
Everyone was afraid of death.
Even Peng Lai was no exception.
If he could survive, he was willing to leave the Wandering Saint Palace, betray the Human-Devil clan, and follow his master to the ends of the world.
Moreover, he had a strong feeling that his master would be able to survive.
If his master could pass this test, he would be able to achieve much more in the future by following his master instead of staying in the Wandering Saint Palace.
"His aura … It seems like it has become much stronger compared to three years ago."
Gan Ru Yan looked at Duan Lingtian with a complicated expression on her face. However, after a while, she shifted her attention to Duan Lingtian's aura.
"Three years ago, his cultivation base was only at the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage …"
Peng Lai was unaware of Duan Lingtian's true cultivation base three years ago, but Gan Ru Yan, who was Kerr's twin sister, knew very well about it.
Duan Lingtian's strength was comparable to an ordinary powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage.
However, Gan Ru Yan knew very well that Duan Lingtian's cultivation base was different from Duan Lingtian's.
At that time, Duan Lingtian's cultivation base was only at the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage.
'With the help of the black Innate Spiritual Root, his cultivation base should have broken through to the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage in three years, right?'
After all, Gan Ru Yan had not reached that level and had not experienced the black Innate Spiritual Root before. Therefore, she could only make such a guess.
'Currently, he should be able to fight the Palace Master of Wandering Saint Palace, right?'
Gan Ru Yan thought to herself.
"Uncle Peng Lai, what's with those clouds that keep moving? Hmm, they seem to be glowing. They're so colorful. How beautiful! "
Duan Si Ling asked Peng Lai when she saw the rapidly moving dark clouds in the sky.
Upon hearing Duan Si Ling's words, Peng Lai shifted his gaze to the sky and saw the dark clouds moving in a certain direction.
The dark clouds were moving in the same direction.
In addition, behind these dark clouds, there was an incomparably dazzling five-colored brilliance that occasionally refracted through the gaps between the dark clouds.
"This is …"
Suddenly, Peng Lai's pupils shrank, and his face changed greatly. He immediately let out a cry of surprise.
He exclaimed, "The Celestial Ascension Tribulation!"
Peng Lai realized he should not disturb his master so he lowered his voice so he did not disturb Duan Lingtian and Kerr who were still cuddling.
However, Gan Ru Yan, who was standing close to him and paying close attention to him, heard his exclamation.
"The Celestial Ascension Tribulation?"
Gan Ru Yan shifted her gaze to the sky.
Her expression changed drastically when she saw the dark clouds moving in the same direction. 'It's really the Tribulation Clouds from the Celestial Ascension Tribulation!'
As a former disciple of Zoroastrianism, Gan Ru Yan had, naturally, heard about the Celestial Ascension Tribulation. She also knew about the Tribulation Clouds from the Celestial Ascension Tribulation.
Therefore, the moment she shifted her gaze to the sky, she was completely sure of it.
The clouds in the sky were moving in the same direction. She could vaguely see dark clouds with purple lightning flashing around them. These were the Tribulation Clouds from the Celestial Ascension Tribulation.
"Where are the Tribulation Clouds gathering?"
Gan Ru Yan looked at Peng Lai and asked for confirmation. Although she was shocked and had her own guesses, she still looked at him.
"That direction … It's where Yuwen Haochen, the Palace Master of Wandering Saint Palace, lives!"
Peng Lai smiled bitterly. "Previously, I was wondering how Shi Nanfeng, the Palace Master of Great Spirit Palace, hates the Azure Cloud Mansion. If Lord Palace Master didn't come out of closed-door cultivation, he would've attacked master.
"However, he obediently stood guard outside!"
"Regarding this, I was extremely puzzled before and did not know the reason."
Now, I finally understand. As it turns out, Lord Palace Master went into closed-door cultivation to become an Eminent Celestial!
Now that he knows Lord Palace Master is about to become an Eminent Celestial, it's only natural that Shi Nanfeng doesn't have the guts to attack master in the Wandering Saint Palace! "
Peng Lai finally understood everything.
However, at the same time that he understood, his heart trembled even more, and an increasingly bitter smile appeared on his face.
"Is it really the residence of the Palace Master of Wandering Saint Palace?"
Although she was mentally prepared, Gan Ru Yan still couldn't help but tremble when she heard Peng Lai's confirmation.
"Does this mean Yuwen Haochen, the Palace Master of Wandering Saint Palace, is going to undergo the Heavenly Tribulation in a few days? Once I pass the Heavenly Tribulation, I'll become an Eminent Celestial? "
The moment she thought of this, the glimmer of hope that had risen in Gan Ru Yan's heart was mercilessly crushed.
Previously, she had guessed Duan Lingtian's cultivation base had broken through to the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage.
Duan Lingtian who was at the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage was no match for the Palace Master of Wandering Saint Palace.
What about Duan Lingtian who was at the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage?
Since Gan Ru Yan did not know there was a limit to Saint Origin, she was unaware that Duan Lingtian would not be a match for the Palace Master of Wandering Saint Palace even if he had just broken through to the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, let alone the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage.
Naturally, that was assuming that Ling Tian's damaged Super Saint Weapon, the Devilseal Tablet, was useless against a powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage.
Now that she knew the Palace Master of Wandering Saint Palace was about to undergo the Heavenly Tribulation, she knew he would become an Eminent Celestial.
The glimmer of hope in her heart was crushed and replaced by despair.
This feeling was equivalent to a drowning person who was on the verge of death. After grasping onto a life-saving straw with great difficulty, the straw was cut off …
She felt as though she had ascended from hell to heaven, only to fall from heaven to hell again.
"No … What if he fails the Heavenly Tribulation and dies?"
Gan Ru Yan muttered to herself as she thought of another possibility. Her eyes shone brightly, and a hint of hope could be seen on her face.
As far as she knew,
It was not certain that a powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage would be able to overcome the Heavenly Tribulation.
"Fail the Heavenly Tribulation?"
