Since Duan Lingtian had slowed down, Chen Yi Ru, the Four Tribulation Bodiless Celestial, caught up to him.
However, he did not dare to overtake Duan Lingtian. Instead, he slowed down and followed closely behind Duan Lingtian.
After all, Duan Lingtian was his master.
"I heard them talking about you earlier. They said you used to have another name … Chen San Dao?"
Duan Lingtian asked as they traveled.
From the beginning until the end, he did not even turn to look at Chen Yi Ru. It was as though he was talking to the air.
If it had been anyone else who spoke to Chen Yi Ru in such a manner, Chen Yi Ru would have flown into a rage!
However, he did not dare to act impudently in front of Duan Lingtian. He was as docile as a cat as he nodded obediently. "Yes, master."
"From now on, I'll call you San Dao … You don't have any objections, right?"
Duan Lingtian asked indifferently.
"I don't dare."
Since he had sworn on the lightning penalty oath to acknowledge Duan Lingtian as his master, naturally, he did not dare to disobey Duan Lingtian.
Let alone Duan Ling Tian calling him San Dao, even if Duan Ling Tian called him Idiot and asked him if the name he gave him sounded good, he could only say it sounded good!
"I have some questions for you."
Duan Lingtian asked again.
"Please ask, master."
Chen Yi Ru replied respectfully. It was as though he was going to tell Duan Lingtian everything he knew.
"How many Bodiless Celestials like you are in the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land?"
Duan Ling Tian asked the first question he wanted to know.
How many Bodiless Celestials were there in the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land?
If it was not for Liao Nai Jiang, the master of the Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan, Duan Lingtian would not have known about the existence of Bodiless Celestials in the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land.
In the past, just like most people, he thought Eminent Celestials were at the peak of the mundane realms.
It was not until Liao Nai Jiang appeared that he learned about Bodiless Celestials.
In the past, he was just a frog in a well.
"Master, it's not easy to answer your question …"
Chen Yi Ru did not expect Duan Lingtian to ask such a question. He smiled wryly and said, "I'm not sure how many Bodiless Celestials there are in the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land. However, I'm certain there are at least hundreds of them."
"Lingtian? Aren't you a Bodiless Celestial as well? "
Duan Lingtian fen.
Duan Duan Ling Tian, naturally, Duan Ling Tian, Duan Chen, Duan Lingtian said, Chen, Duan Lingtian, Duan Duan Lingtian.
"Master, although I'm a Bodiless Celestial, I don't have many interactions with other Bodiless Celestials. Among the Bodiless Celestials who are still alive, some have failed their Heavenly Tribulations less than 1,000 years ago while some have failed their Heavenly Tribulations more than 7,000 to 8,000 years ago.
Most of them don't know each other, "Chen Yi Ru explained patiently," Ever since I failed my Heavenly Tribulation and became a Bodiless Celestial, I've only met about ten Bodiless Celestials. Usually, I travel and cultivate in closed-door cultivation while waiting for the Bodiless Celestial Tribulation that occurs once every 1,000 years. "
Chen Yi Ru paused for a moment before he added inwardly, "What a coincidence!
I was so unlucky to have met you, but I failed! "
Naturally, he did not dare to say these words out loud.
"I see."
Duan Lingtian was enlightened when he heard Chen Yi Ru's explanation. He asked, "Does this mean Bodiless Celestials like you often travel in the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land?"
"Yes."
Chen Yi Ru nodded. "Apart from cultivating, we travel the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land …"
"If that's the case, why are so few people aware of your existence?"
Duan Lingtian asked again.
This was the thing that puzzled him the most.
Before he returned to the Upper Province and met Liao Nai Jiang, the master of the Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan, just like most people, he was unaware of the existence of Bodiless Celestials.
He thought those who stood at the peak of the mundane realms were Eminent Celestials.
When he was in the bustling city earlier, it was apparent the people from the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land were unaware of the existence of Bodiless Celestials as well.
Duan Lingtian still remembered the shocked expressions on their faces when they learned about the existence of Bodiless Celestials.
"Master, it's not that we intentionally hide our identities as Bodiless Celestials … It's just that the Dragons and the Phoenixes have forbidden us from doing so."
Chen Yi Ru smiled wryly.
"The Dragons and the Phoenixes?"
Duan Lingtian frowned. "They've forbidden us from doing so? Moreover, it's directed at Bodiless Celestials? "
"As far as I know, although the Dragons and the Phoenixes can be considered as powerful forces in the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land, they're still far from being comparable to the three great sects, right?"
Duan Lingtian asked.
He had heard about the Dragons and the Phoenixes in the past. He knew they were famous forces in the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land.
Even when compared to the three strongest sects, they were only slightly weaker!
However, even then, they were still not comparable to the three great sects.
What did Chen Yi Ru say to him?
Chen Yi Ru said, "Yes.
The Dragons and the Phoenixes had forbidden Bodiless Celestials.
One had to know that in this world where the strong were respected, if one wanted to impose a ban on a person or a group of people, one must first possess strength that surpassed that person or group of people!
Otherwise, who would be willing to listen to you?
Who are you?
Currently, the strongest group in the mundane realms was undoubtedly Bodiless Celestials.
If a Bodiless Celestial said they were the second strongest group in the mundane realms, no one would dare to say they were the strongest.
A Three Tribulation Bodiless Celestial was stronger than an Eminent Celestial who was about to ascend.
Even an Eminent Celestial would not be able to kill a Four Tribulation Bodiless Celestial.
When a Fourth Tribulation Bodiless Celestial attacked, he could easily shatter the void and leave cracks in the void.
It was a power that only Celestials could possess.
Let alone Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestials, Six Tribulation Bodiless Celestials, Seven Tribulation Bodiless Celestials, Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestials, and Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestials.
Naturally, Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestials were as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.
"Master, those who say the Dragons and the Phoenixes are inferior to the three great sects are just ordinary people … The Dragons and the Phoenixes purposely mislead the people in the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land …"
Chen Yi Ru said with a wry smile.
"In fact, in the entire Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land, the Phoenixes and the Dragons are the strongest!
"To a certain extent, the three great sects are merely 'puppets' supported by them!"
Duan Lingtian was taken aback by Chen Yi Ru's words. He felt like a door to a new world was opening for him.
"The three great sects? Puppets supported by the Dragons and the Phoenixes? "
Duan Lingtian looked at Chen Yi Ru in confusion.
He really could not figure it out.
How did the three great sects become puppets supported by the Dragons and the Phoenixes?
In the history of the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land, there were many cases where the Dragons and the Phoenixes had conflicts with the three great sects.
"Of course, even the current Sect Masters of the three great sects don't know that the three great sects were supported by the Dragon Clan and the Phoenix Clan in the beginning and have grown to this stage today … However, that's the truth! This is not a secret in the world of Bodiless Celestials. "
Chen Yi Ru said.
When he saw the frown on Duan Lingtian's face deepened, Chen Yi Ru continued to say, "In the beginning, the three great sects were close to the Dragons and the Phoenixes. However, after the tenth generation of Dragons and the Phoenixes were passed down, they completely cut ties with the Dragons and the Phoenixes.
At that time, the three great sects were strong enough to stand on their own. With the help of the Dragons and the Phoenixes, they became the three strongest sects in the Dao Martial Saint Land! "
When Chen Yi Ru finished speaking, he looked at Duan Lingtian again.
"Master, as the successor of the Fog Rain Progeny, the First Absolute of the Seven Absolutes Sect, and the current Sect Leader of the Seven Absolutes Sect, you should be very familiar with the history of the Seven Absolutes Sect.
"During the era of Sword Saint Feng Qingyang, the former successor of the Fog Rain Progeny, the First Absolute of the Seven Absolutes Sect, the Seven Absolutes Sect was stronger than the three great sects. Do you know why the Seven Absolutes Sect didn't annihilate the three great sects in the end?
If Senior Feng Qingyang had made a move at that time, the three great sects wouldn't have been able to escape death even if they joined forces! "
A hint of reverence could be seen in Chen Yi Ru's eyes when he spoke.
It was obvious the reverence in his eyes was directed at Sword Saint Feng Qingyang.
"Didn't they say Senior Feng Qingyang didn't care about annihilating the three great sects? There are also some who say that Senior Feng Qing Yang wants to leave the three great sects behind to train the future disciples of the Seven Absolutes Sect so that they won't have any opponents. "
Duan Lingtian told him the information he had heard in the restaurant in that city.
As for what Chen Yi Ru had said, as the current successor of the Seven Absolutes Sect's First Absolute, the Fog Rain Progeny, and the current Sect Master of the Seven Absolutes Sect, he should know the history of the Seven Absolutes Sect very well …
However, he did not know how to respond.
Could he tell Chen Yi Ru:
A few hours ago, he did not even know about his relationship with the Seven Absolutes Sect?
"Master, what you said is merely a rumor spread by the people in the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land.
Chen Yi Ru's eyes lit up as he said, "The truth is … the reason why Senior Feng Qingyang didn't destroy the three great sects wasn't because he was holding back. It was because the Dragons and Phoenixes interfered!"
"In order to stop Senior Feng Qingyang, the Dragons and Phoenixes even sent many Bodiless Celestials. There are even Seven and Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestials among them!"
Hiss!!
Upon hearing Chen Yi Ru's words, Duan Lingtian gasped …
