Based on the finely-clad old man's words, it was obvious he had seen through Duan Ling Tian's current cultivation base through Duan Ling Tian's attack.
An Eminent Celestial!
However, based on his tone, one could tell he was not afraid of Duan Lingtian.
Although he knew Duan Ling Tian was an Eminent Celestial, he did not seem to be afraid of Duan Ling Tian at all. Moreover, he did not reveal any other emotions.
Based on his calm expression, it was as though he did not think Duan Lingtian was a threat at all.
Although the finely-dressed old man was able to remain calm when he saw Duan Lingtian was an Eminent Celestial, it did not mean others could remain calm as well.
"The successor of the Fog Rain Progeny, the Sect Leader of the Seven Absolutes Sect, is actually an Eminent Celestial?"
The moment the brocade-robed old man finished speaking, the eyes of the bamboo-like middle-aged man standing behind him could not help but violently shrink. His thin face was filled with shock!
The burly middle-aged man who was sent flying by Duan Lingtian and had just managed to get up from the ground trembled violently when he heard the finely-dressed old man's words.
At this moment, he felt chills running down his spine.
'No wonder my Saint Origin couldn't break through the shackles of his energy even after I exerted all my strength earlier. As it turns out, he's an Eminent Celestial! In that case, everything that happened just now can be explained. "
The burly middle-aged man was shocked when he found out the purple-clad young man he had provoked was an Eminent Celestial. Fear still lingered in his heart.
'Fortunately, he didn't kill me. Otherwise, I would've died!'
The burly middle-aged man was relieved when he thought about this.
He was only a Martial Cultivator at the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. An Eminent Celestial could kill him as easily as killing a chicken.
When the burly middle-aged man recalled what he had said to the purple-clad young man, he could not help but blush.
How could he kill the purple-clad young man as easily as killing a chicken?
The other party could kill him as easily as killing a chicken!
The two middle-aged servants by the old man's side were already so shocked when they heard the old man's words, let alone the crowd of onlookers present.
"Half-Step Celestial? Did I hear wrongly? He said … Half-Step Immortal?! "
After the crowd of onlookers came back to their senses one after another, one of them took the lead and asked in surprise. He even suspected that he had misheard.
"You didn't hear wrongly. He did say Eminent Celestial!"
Soon, many people followed to confirm.
"He said the successor of the First Absolute of the Seven Absolutes Sect, the Sect Leader of the Seven Absolutes Sect, is an Eminent Celestial?"
"That's right."
"It's no wonder the Seven Absolutes Sect's Misty Rain successor was so fast. I didn't even catch a glimpse of him when he arrived in front of the burly middle-aged man … It was too fast!"
"If he's a Half-Step Immortal, it's only natural for him to possess such speed."
"If he's an Eminent Celestial, he shouldn't be lying, right? He said the burly middle-aged man was at the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage! "
"Put aside the fact that he's an Eminent Celestial, his identity as the successor of the Seven Absolutes Sect's Misty Rain successor and the Sect Leader of the Seven Absolutes Sect wouldn't lie. Moreover, with his identity, he wouldn't lie! "
"Does this mean the burly middle-aged man is really a powerhouse at the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage?"
…
As the crowd discussed among themselves, they realized they had been overthinking things. The burly middle-aged man was most likely a powerhouse at the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage!
It was only natural that a powerhouse at the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage would not be able to withstand a single blow from an Eminent Celestial.
"An Eminent Celestial … I've only heard of such a powerhouse before. This is my first time seeing one!"
"Me too!"
"I didn't expect the current successor of the Seven Absolutes Sect's First Absolute, the Fog Rain Progeny, to be an Eminent Celestial. Moreover, he looks so young!"
"It's understandable. The strongest female disciples in the Seven Absolutes Sect are suspected to have broken through to the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage … As the successor of the Fog Rain Progeny and the Sect Leader of the Seven Absolutes Sect, it would be strange if he's not an Eminent Celestial. "
"Indeed."
…
When the group of people discussed animatedly again, their gazes landed on Duan Ling Tian in unison. They stared fixedly at Duan Ling Tian as though they wanted to imprint this person deeply in their minds and engrave him in their hearts.
"Eh?!"
An old woman suddenly exclaimed, "Isn't he Duan Lingtian, the Guardian of Zoroastrianism?"
"Duan Lingtian, the Guardian of Zoroastrianism?"
As the old woman took the lead to speak, more and more people began to carefully size up Duan Ling Tian's face. Gradually, they began to feel that Duan Ling Tian looked familiar …
Memories from a few years ago began to surface in their minds.
"He's indeed Duan Lingtian, the Guardian of Zoroastrianism! I've seen his portrait before! "
"I've seen his portrait as well … However, that was a few years ago. I didn't recall it earlier."
"No wonder I thought he looked familiar … As it turns out, he's Duan Lingtian, the Guardian of Zoroastrianism! Apart from that, when he revealed his identity earlier, apart from saying he's the successor of the Fog Rain Progeny, the First Absolute of the Seven Absolutes Sect, he also said his name is Duan Lingtian! "
"He did say his name is Duan Lingtian!"
"This … Duan Lingtian, the Guardian of Zoroastrianism from a few years ago, has become the successor of the Fog Rain Progeny, the First Absolute of the Seven Absolutes Sect? Isn't this a little too big? "
"Unbelievable! Unbelievable! "
…
As more and more people recognized Duan Lingtian's handsome face, they began to realize something.
Duan Lingtian, the Guardian of Zoroastrianism from a few years ago, and the successor of the Fog Rain Progeny, the First Absolute of the Seven Absolutes Sect, were the same person!
"Aren't the Seven Absolutes Sect and Zoroastrianism sworn enemies?"
"That's right. Not only is the Seven Absolutes Sect sworn enemies with Zoroastrianism, but it's also sworn enemies with Xuanzha Buddhism and the Heaven Divination Sect. Why would the successor of the Fog Rain Progeny, the First Absolute of the Seven Absolutes Sect, be the Guardian of Zoroastrianism?"
…
Many people were puzzled by this.
"All of you are really stupid … Can't Duan Lingtian, the successor of the Fog Rain Progeny, the First Absolute of the Seven Absolutes Sect, join Zoroastrianism as a spy to gather information about Zoroastrianism?"
"If that's the case, it makes sense."
…
Many people who were puzzled by Duan Lingtian's identity as the Sect Leader of Zoroastrianism and a member of the Seven Absolutes Sect were instantly enlightened.
"However, isn't Duan Lingtian's improvement in strength a little too exaggerated?"
At this moment, someone said, "I think … A few years ago, he defeated Hao Shuang, the strongest person below the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage in the Dao Martial Saint Land. In just a few years, he had already become an Eminent Celestial? Isn't this a little too exaggerated? "
"It's indeed a little exaggerated … Could it be that he's mistaken?"
For a moment, the gazes of everyone present fell on the old man in embroidered clothes in unison.
Earlier, the finely-dressed old man was the one who had said Duan Lingtian was an Eminent Celestial.
If the successor of the Seven Absolutes Sect's First Absolute, the Fog Rain Progeny, possessed a cultivation base at the level of an Eminent Celestial, they would not be surprised, perplexed, or suspicious even though they were shocked.
However, Duan Lingtian, the successor of the Fog Rain Progeny, the First Absolute of the Seven Absolutes Sect, was no stranger to them at all.
This was because he had become famous in the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land a few years ago.
He was Duan Lingtian, the Guardian of Zoroastrianism, whose strength was second only to Tang Xuan, the Sect Leader of Zoroastrianism.
In just a few years, Duan Lingtian, who had not even broken through to the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, had become an Eminent Celestial.
Was this possible?
Was this realistic?
Although the strongest person present on the scene was only at the Second Form of the Saint Celestial Stage and had not experienced the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, it was still possible.
However, as the saying went, 'Even if you haven't eaten pork, you've heard of how pigs run!'
For this reason, they knew how difficult it was to break through to the Ninth Form.
"As it turns out, you're Duan Lingtian, the Guardian of Zoroastrianism who shook the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land a few years ago. You're widely acknowledged as the strongest prodigy in the Dao Martial Saint Land after Pei Si Hai!"
The brocade-robed old man ignored the skeptical gazes of the crowd. His gaze on Duan Lingtian turned colder and colder.
"It seems like you've been concealing your cultivation base a few years ago. That's why they thought you haven't even broken through to the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage …"
The brocade-robed old man continued to say, "However, you can't hide your cultivation base from me. You're indeed an Eminent Celestial!"
The brocade-robed old man was infuriated when he saw Duan Lingtian looking at him indifferently.
"Do you think you can stop me from taking your daughter as my disciple just because you're an Eminent Celestial? Do you really think Eminent Celestials like you are the strongest in the mundane realms? "
The brocade-robed old man's words were filled with confidence.
His words shocked everyone present into a daze.
"Eminent Celestials … Aren't they the strongest in the mundane realms? Why does it sound like Eminent Celestials aren't the strongest in the mundane realms? "
Many people were shocked.
However, most of them thought the old man was spouting nonsense.
At this moment, Duan Lingtian raised an eyebrow and said indifferently, "You're right.
