"It's good that you're back."
A smile appeared on The Oracle Man's face when he saw his direct disciple had returned safely. He sighed in relief inwardly.
He had learned about what his direct disciple had done in the Dragons.
While the actions of his personal disciple were indeed satisfying, he was also well aware of how dangerous it was …
After all, the Dragons were one of the two most powerful clans in the Dao Martial Saint Land!
For this reason, he was overjoyed when he saw his direct disciple had returned safely.
"Yi Yi, he …"
The Old Prophet was about to introduce Duan Ling Tian, the current successor of the Fog Rain Progeny, the First Absolute of the Seven Absolutes Sect, to his direct disciple when he was interrupted by Duan Ling Tian, the current Sect Leader of the Seven Absolutes Sect.
"Duan Lingtian!"
Mu Yi Yi, The Oracle Man's direct disciple and the current successor of the Prophet Progeny, the Second Absolute of the Seven Absolutes Sect, looked at Duan Lingtian intently. She had called out Duan Lingtian's name. It was obvious she had recognized him.
"What's going on?"
However, Duan Ling Tian did not respond to Mu Yi Yi's greeting since he was not paying attention to her at all.
When Mu Yi Yi had first appeared, he had sensed a familiar aura from her.
Even though this aura was very faint, he could still clearly sense it …
However, he could not recall where he had come into contact with this aura.
'Apart from her own aura, there seem to be eight other auras on the successor of the Prophet Progeny. Including the aura I've come into contact with, there are nine different auras on her. '
As an Eminent Celestial, although Duan Lingtian's soul was not as strong as a Bodiless Celestial, it was much stronger than the successor of the Prophet Progeny. Therefore, he extended his Divine Consciousness and easily sensed the ten auras on the successor of the Prophet Progeny.
Among the ten auras, the other nine auras were intertwined with the strongest aura. It was the successor of the Prophet Progeny's aura.
"The condition of her body should be related to the cultivation method she cultivates …"
Duan Lingtian speculated inwardly.
"Brother Ling Tian, Senior Sister Yi Yi is greeting you."
Han Xuenai walked up to Duan Lingtian and tugged on his sleeve. She reminded Duan Lingtian.
When she looked at the successor of the Prophet Progeny, Mu Yi Yi, a hint of admiration could be seen in her eyes. It was as though she regarded Mu Yi Yi as her idol.
With Han Xuenai's reminder, Duan Lingtian regained his senses. He looked at Mu Yi Yi and said, "I'm sorry, Junior Sister Yi Yi. I sensed a familiar aura on you …"
Before Mu Yi Yi had returned, Duan Lingtian had heard The Oracle Man mention her more than once. He knew she was a rare Heaven-Defying Dao Cultivator in the Prophet Progeny. She was so powerful that she was second only to him among the successors of the Seven Absolutes Sect's Seven Absolutes.
Apart from that, he had also heard about how Mu Yi Yi had cursed the Patriarch of the Dragons to death. For this reason, he had a good impression of Mu Yi Yi before he met her.
"Then, do you remember where you came into contact with that aura?"
Mu Yi Yi was not displeased by Duan Lingtian's rudeness. Instead, she asked this question. Her question confused Duan Lingtian.
Where did he come into contact with that aura?
Gasp!
Duan Ling Tian took a deep breath and started to recall carefully. After recalling for a while, he really recalled it.
Clarity City, Qiu Mu Qing!
Clarity City was a city at the edge of the Western Region. Qiu Mu Qing was the Young Miss of the Qiu Clan in Clarity City.
Previously, before he went to Sin City in the Central Region, he had stayed in Clarity City for a few days.
During those few days, he had gotten to know Qiu Mu Qing and helped her solve some problems.
When Duan Ling Tian left Clarity City, he discovered Qiu Mu Qing seemed to have feelings for him.
However, in his eyes, Qiu Mu Qing was only a passerby in his life.
Perhaps, he would not have the chance to meet her again.
He did not expect he would sense Qiu Mu Qing's aura on Mu Yi Yi, the successor of the Prophet Progeny. Moreover, it reminded him of what had happened in Clarity City.
"I've come into contact with that aura on a woman before. Her name is Qiu Mu Qing, and she's from a city called Clarity City at the edge of the Western Region."
Duan Lingtian replied when he saw Mu Yi Yi's serious expression.
As soon as Duan Lingtian finished speaking, he discovered Mu Yi Yi's expression had changed.
A hint of relief could be seen in Mu Yi Yi's eyes. This made him even more puzzled.
Why would there be such a change in Mu Yi Yi's expression?
"She'll be very happy if she knows you still remember her …" Mu Yi Yi sighed.
Mu Yi Yi sighed faintly as she opened her mouth once again. Soon after, the invisible icy aura from her body was withdrawn.
"What do you mean?"
Upon hearing Mu Yi Yi's words, Duan Lingtian could tell something was amiss. He asked solemnly, "W-what happened to her?!"
Although Qiu Mu Qing was only a passerby in his life, Duan Lingtian did not know her well.
However, after spending a few days with Qiu Mu Qing, to a certain extent, he had considered her a friend.
For this reason, he could not help but feel worried when he heard Mu Yi Yi sighing when she mentioned Qiu Mu Qing. He knew something must have happened to Qiu Mu Qing.
"Qiu Mu Qing and the people around her were persecuted by a pervert on their way to Zoroastrianism …" Mu Yi Yi said slowly.
"Especially her, when she died … So much so that after her death, the scattered remnants of her soul were completely infected by the evil aura and gathered together once again, lingering for three days and three nights without dispersing!"
Mu Yi Yi said slowly.
Duan Lingtian's eyes widened when he heard Mu Yi Yi's words.
"Who did it? Do you know who did it? "
Duan Lingtian's voice was low and hoarse when he spoke again.
"A young man …"
Mu Yi Yi sighed.
A hint of killing intent flashed in Duan Ling Tian's eyes when he heard Mu Yi Yi's words. A cold aura surged out of his body. It was even colder than Mu Yi Yi's.
"That person … is stronger than you?"
Duan Ling Tian asked as he looked at Mu Yi Yi and withdrew the cold aura he was emitting.
Duan Ling Tian, naturally, thought Mu Yi Yi was present when Qiu Mu Qing was killed. She might have even watched as Qiu Mu Qing was killed.
He was certain Mu Yi Yi did not help Qiu Mu Qing because that person was stronger than Mu Yi Yi.
Otherwise, Mu Yi Yi would not have helped Qiu Mu Qing.
In his opinion, since Mu Yi Yi was chosen by The Oracle Man to be his successor, she would not leave Qiu Mu Qing in the lurch.
"I only learned about this after I absorbed Qiu Mu Qing's soul fragment that was on the verge of dissipating after three days and three nights. I also saw some of her fragmented memories …"
Mu Yi Yi sighed.
"Absorb soul fragments?"
Duan Lingtian frowned.
"That's a necessary process for a successor of the Prophet Progeny to become a Heaven-Defying Dao Cultivator …"
The Oracle Man explained to Duan Lingtian, "To become a Heaven-Defying Dao Cultivator, apart from the requirement of innate talent, the successor of the Prophet Progeny has to find and absorb nine ruthless soul fragments.
That's the only way one can master the Heaven-Defying Art of Cursing and become a Heaven-Defying Dao Cultivator! "
After the Elder of Tian Ji explained everything in one breath, he added, "Of course, the owners of those violent remnant souls cannot be harmed by the Successor of Tian Ji when they were alive … because if their owners were harmed by the Successor of Tian Ji, they would subconsciously resist the Successor of Tian Ji absorbing them."
"I see."
Duan Lingtian finally understood after listening to The Oracle Man's explanation.
Earlier, when he'd just found out about the existence of Heaven Defying Dao Cultivators, he'd been surprised by the Heaven Defying Curse that they possessed. It was simply a heaven defying ability to kill, and it caused others to feel horrified just from hearing about it!
At that time, he had wondered how such a heaven-defying technique could exist in this world.
He did not expect it would be so difficult to become a Heaven-Defying Dao Cultivator.
Apart from the requirement of innate talent, one had to find nine ruthless soul fragments and absorb them.
"Do you remember what that person looked like?"
Duan Ling Tian looked at Mu Yi Yi again. His eyes were burning with rage as though they were on fire.
Whoosh!
As soon as Duan Lingtian finished speaking, Mu Yi Yi raised her hand and took out a portrait.
"This is the portrait I drew when I saw her memories. All these years, I've been looking for this person, but I haven't been able to find any clues."
The owners of the nine ruthless soul fragments that Mu Yi Yi had absorbed had all been persecuted by someone. She had killed the person who had caused the deaths of eight of them.
The only person she had not been able to find was the person who had persecuted Qiu Mu Qing.
Duan Lingtian looked at the portrait in Mu Yi Yi's hand.
The portrait depicted a young man with a medium build and a devilish expression.
"It's him!"
While Duan Ling Tian was studying the young man in the portrait with a frown on his face, a cry of surprise rang in his ears again.
Everyone, including Duan Lingtian, turned to look at the person who had exclaimed in surprise.
This person was none other than Chen Yi Ru, the Four Tribulation Bodiless Celestial standing behind Duan Lingtian.
"San Dao, you know him?!"
Duan Lingtian's eyes shone brightly as he looked at Chen Yi Ru. His voice was tinged with excitement.
When Duan Lingtian heard Mu Yi Yi had not been able to find any clues about the person in the portrait, he had thought it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
