After rejecting Long Fei Yun's invitation, Duan Lingtian left the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom and returned to the Tai Yi Celestial Sect under Tie Tai He's escort.
After returning to the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, Duan Lingtian continued to immerse himself in alchemy.
Naturally, there were times when he encountered a bottleneck in alchemy.
Whenever this happened, Duan Ling Tian would stop studying the Dao of Alchemy and focus on cultivating. He would cultivate the King Grade Cultivation Method, the Taiyi Profound Method, to advance to the next stage, the profound-rank Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial.
In the following year, nothing major happened in the Tai Yi Celestial Sect or the Wasteland. Everything was peaceful.
Time flew by like a white steed flitting by a crack.
In just a blink of an eye, a year had passed.
It was also the day Duan Lingtian left the Tai Yi Celestial Sect and the Wasteland to participate in the Alchemy Conference in the Barren Land.
Creak!
In a spacious courtyard, the door of one of the rooms suddenly opened.
Following that, two people walked out of the room. They were a young man and a young woman.
The young man was handsome with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes. His otherworldly temperament made him seem like a gentleman.
As for the young woman next to the young man, her figure and appearance were flawless. It was as though she was the creator's most perfect creation.
As soon as she walked out of the room, everything outside the room seemed to be overshadowed by her.
"Brother Ling Tian, are we going to look for Sect Leader Bai Ping now?"
After walking out of the room, the lovely lady dressed in white looked at the man beside her and asked with a smile.
She was even more beautiful when she smiled.
The white-clad woman was none other than Huan 'er who had been in closed-door cultivation for a long time. As for the man next to her, he was, naturally, Duan Ling Tian.
"Yes."
Duan Lingtian nodded slightly. "The sect leader and I agreed to meet at his place at noon today. It's about time."
Duan Lingtian looked up at the sky when he finished speaking.
The scorching sun hung high in the sky. Judging from the position of the scorching sun, it would be noon in about a quarter of an hour.
"Oh, right …"
Duan Lingtian suddenly thought of something. He looked at Huan 'er with a burning gaze and asked, "Huan' er, have you made a breakthrough in your cultivation base?"
Previously, she was an earth-rank Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial.
If he made a breakthrough, he would be a heaven-rank Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial!
Although Duan Lingtian had been cultivating in the same room with Huan 'er for more than a year, Huan' er was always in closed-door cultivation whenever he entered the room. He had never taken the initiative to wake her up.
It was only today that he took the initiative to wake Huan 'er up and prepare to head to the Barren Land to participate in the Alchemy Conference.
For this reason, he did not know if she had made a breakthrough or not.
"I broke through two months ago."
Huan 'er smiled faintly.
"Two months ago?"
Duan Lingtian's eyes lit up as he congratulated Huan 'er. "Huan' er, congratulations … You've become stronger again."
"Brother Ling Tian, you're making fun of me again … You know my current strength is lacking in Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities. Although I've become a heaven-rank Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial, I'm still weaker than most heaven-rank Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials."
Huan 'er could not help but sigh when she reached the end of her sentence.
Although there were many high-grade Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities in her inherited memories, her comprehension of these Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities was not deep enough. Therefore, she could not unleash the full power of these Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities.
In fact, she was not even comparable to Duan Lingtian in terms of Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities.
For this reason, although she had become a heaven-rank Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial, her strength was still weaker than most heaven-rank Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials due to her lack of Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities.
In fact, she might not even be a match for some earth-rank Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials who were outstanding in their Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities.
"Huan 'er, think about how old you are now."
Duan Lingtian smiled wryly when he heard Huan 'er's words.
Then, he comforted her, "Moreover, with your innate talent, you'll be able to raise your Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities in no time if you focus on comprehending them.
You should focus on comprehending Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities for the time being. If you encounter a bottleneck, you can continue to cultivate and raise your cultivation base. "
Duan Lingtian gave Huan 'er a suggestion.
"Alright, I'll listen to you, Brother Ling Tian."
Huan 'er nodded obediently. The affection in Duan Lingtian's eyes deepened when he saw how obedient she was.
"It's almost time … Let's go and look for the sect leader!"
Duan Lingtian looked at the sky again. It was almost noon. He called out to Huan 'er before they made their way to the residence of Bai Ping, the Sect Leader of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect.
Since they lived on the same prominent Celestial Island in the Tai Yi Celestial Sect's estate, it did not take long for them to arrive at Bai Ping's residence.
After greeting Bai Ping and receiving a response, Zhang Xuan entered the manor.
When Duan Lingtian and Huan 'er entered the main hall of Bai Ping's residence, the three prominent Celestial Alchemists of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect were already there.
"Master Situ, Master Yang, and Master Yu."
Since Situ Ming, Yang Chong, and Yu Zhong Jing had helped him wholeheartedly, Duan Lingtian treated them as his seniors. After greeting Bai Ping, he quickly greeted the three prominent Celestial Alchemists as well.
In fact, he even humbled himself when he greeted the three prominent Celestial Alchemists.
After all, he did not lower himself even when he was in front of Bai Ping.
Naturally, Bai Ping, who was standing at the side, noticed this as well.
However, he did not mind since he knew the reason Duan Lingtian treated the three prominent Celestial Alchemists so respectfully. He knew Duan Lingtian was both a teacher and a friend of the three prominent Celestial Alchemists.
"Master Duan, Miss Huan 'er."
Situ Ming and the other two prominent Celestial Alchemists quickly greeted Duan Lingtian. At the same time, they also greeted Huan 'er who was standing next to Duan Lingtian.
"We're still missing one person …"
After greeting the three prominent Celestial Alchemists, Duan Lingtian glanced at the main hall and discovered there was no one else present.
'It seems like the Old Ancestor hasn't arrived yet.'
There were six people from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect who had come to the Wasteland to participate in the Alchemy Conference.
Currently, five of them had arrived.
Only one person was missing.
That person was none other than the only Eight Trigrams Celestial Duke in the Tai Yi Celestial Sect. He was also the Old Ancestor of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect.
"Four prominent Celestial Alchemists, please wait for a moment. The Old Ancestor should be here soon."
When Bai Ping saw the Old Ancestor had yet to arrive, he began to console Duan Lingtian and the others.
If Duan Lingtian and the others were elders of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, there was no need for him to console them.
After all, the elders of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect were all juniors of the Old Ancestor.
It was only right for juniors to wait for their elders.
However, there was a problem.
Duan Lingtian and the others were only Revered Celestial Alchemists of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect. They were free to leave at any time. Moreover, the Tai Yi Celestial Sect had no reason to stop them from leaving.
If news of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect stopping them from leaving and forcing them to stay in the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, no one would dare to accept the Tai Yi Celestial Sect's invitation in the future.
"It doesn't matter."
Situ Ming shook his head and smiled when he heard Bai Ping's words. "Since the Old Ancestor isn't here yet, the three of us can discuss the Dao of Alchemy with Master Duan. Over the past year, under Master Duan's guidance, our comprehension of the Dao of Alchemy has improved a lot."
"That's right."
Yang Chong nodded. Then, he looked at Duan Lingtian and said with a smile, "Master Duan, if you haven't improved in the past year, I'm afraid you'll have to learn from us for a while."
Although Yu Zhong Jing did not say anything, he looked at Duan Lingtian with a smile on his face. His eyes were filled with anticipation.
However, after about half an hour, Situ Ming and the others could no longer bring themselves to smile.
In just half an hour, Duan Lingtian, Situ Ming, and the other two prominent Celestial Alchemists discussed the Dao of Alchemy with each other. Every word they said was like a sword that pierced through the hearts of the three prominent Celestial Alchemists.
This half an hour was torture for the three prominent Celestial Alchemists as well.
This was because they were shocked to discover that:
In just one year, Duan Lingtian's achievement in the Dao of Alchemy had left them far behind.
In fact, they did not even have the right to eat his dust!
Bai Ping stood at the side. Apart from shock, there was only shock left on his face.
In the past, after he confirmed Duan Lingtian's speed in heating cauldrons, he had purposely looked for Situ Ming and the other two prominent Celestial Alchemists to learn more about Duan Lingtian. He found out that Duan Lingtian was only good at heating cauldrons. He was weak in other aspects and was even inferior to them.
More than a year ago, he heard from Situ Ming and the other two prominent Celestial Alchemists that Duan Lingtian's achievement in other aspects had caught up to them. They did not even have anything to teach Duan Lingtian and were no longer qualified to guide Duan Lingtian.
However, today, in just half an hour, he realized how terrifying Duan Lingtian was.
His innate talent in the Dao of Alchemy was terrifying!
"Master Duan, more than a year ago, I had a feeling that you were suddenly enlightened … Your already-shocking innate talent in the Dao of Alchemy seemed to have received a heaven-defying boost overnight."
Situ Ming looked at Duan Lingtian with a shocked expression on his face. "Initially, I thought it was an illusion, but now, I'm certain it's not an illusion!"
"That's right."
Yang Chong nodded in agreement. The shock on his face did not disappear as well. "Master Duan, your current skill in the Dao of Alchemy is definitely top-notch among the prominent Celestial Alchemists in the Six Southeastern Regions!"
In the Six Southeastern Regions!
Based on this, one could see how high Yang Chong's evaluation of Duan Lingtian was.
"I've spoken to the person who won the First Place in the Alchemy Conference. Even the First Place in the Prominent Celestial Alchemist Conference isn't as good as you, Master Duan!
