At this moment, Duan Lingtian could not help but feel how insignificant he was.
Put aside the top powerhouses in the Devata Realms such as Celestial Emperors and Celestial Lords, Duan Lingtian was nothing.
Duan Lingtian felt so insignificant in front of Li An, the Nine Palaces Celestial Duke, the Old Ancestor of the Blissful Sect.
With Li An's strength, it would be easy for Li An to kill him.
'I'm still too weak … I have to find a way to improve my cultivation base and become a Celestial Duke as soon as possible!'
Duan Lingtian thought to himself.
A sense of crisis rose in Duan Lingtian's heart when he saw He Shan, the Old Ancestor of the Blissful Sect, acting as meek as a cat in front of the Old Ancestor of the Blissful Sect.
After all, He Shan, the Old Ancestor of the Blissful Sect, was the Old Ancestor of the Blissful Sect.
At this moment, Duan Lingtian felt as though his life was no longer in his hands.
The people from the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect and the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect, including the Sect Leaders of the two sects, remained silent.
Even if the Sect Leaders of the Blissful Sect were blinded by Li An, the Old Ancestor of the Blissful Sect, they would still have to maintain a smile on their faces, let alone He Shan.
In this world where the strong were respected, the weak had no choice but to keep a low profile in front of the strong.
"You're Master Duan from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect?"
At the same time, Li An's gaze landed on Duan Ling Tian again. A smile appeared on his face that was originally tense.
"Yes."
Duan Lingtian nodded. At the same time, he could not help but marvel at how useful his current identity was.
He was a prominent Celestial Alchemist who was able to refine the Overarching Heaven Pill even though he was not even 100 years old.
Even Li An, who was fearless in front of the Old Ancestor of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, had to smile and be polite to him.
"Master Duan, are you interested in joining the Blissful Sect?"
Li An asked with a smile on his face.
If Duan Lingtian had not seen Li An's ruthless expression, he would have thought Li An was a friendly and humble person.
"Senior Li An."
Duan Lingtian replied bluntly, "I won't be able to stay in the Six Southeastern Regions for long. After the Alchemy Conference, I plan to leave the Six Southeastern Regions and return to the central area of the Southern Heaven Territory."
"I've been out for a long time … It's time to go back."
Duan Lingtian said.
As soon as Duan Lingtian said this, not only the Old Ancestor, but also Situ Ming, Yang Chong, and Yu Zhongjing were all stunned.
Only Huan 'er remained calm. Her expression did not change at all because of Duan Lingtian's words.
"Return to the Central?"
As expected, Li An's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard Duan Lingtian's words. Then, he asked in surprise, "Alchemist Duan, from what you're saying … You're actually from the central area? Your family is in the Central Land? "
"Yes."
Duan Lingtian nodded. "There's a rule in our family that all direct descendants must leave the central area before they reach the age of 100 to train in the borderlands. They'll only be allowed to return to the family after they've made some achievements there.
"As for me, I'm preparing to use this Alchemy Conference to make a name for myself in the borderlands … At that time, I'll be able to return to my clan.
I'll return to the family after I return to the family, "Duan Lingtian said.
Duan Lingtian's expression remained calm when he finished speaking. He did not reveal any flaws at all.
Naturally, all of this was something he had casually made up.
He had fabricated all of this because he wanted to create a fake identity in front of Li An. A fake identity that would make Li An, the Old Ancestor of the Blissful Sect, wary.
He knew Li An might not believe him.
However, as long as he had this fake identity, Li An would have to consider the consequences if he wanted to make a move on him.
He believed Li An would not take the risk if it was not necessary.
"Ancestor, Alchemist Situ, Alchemist Yang, Alchemist Yu … I'm sorry that I didn't tell you about my background in detail, nor did I tell you that I would be leaving the Six Southeastern Regions after the Alchemy Conference."
Before Li An could reply, Duan Lingtian turned to look at He Shan, the Old Ancestor of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, Situ Ming, and the others apologetically.
"Master Duan, as it turns out, you're a disciple of a prominent Celestial Alchemist in the central area. I was wondering why there's a prominent Celestial Alchemist in the borderlands who's not even 100 years old who can refine the Overarching Heaven Pill!"
Chai Kong Yu, the Sect Leader of the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect, exclaimed before He Shan and the others regained their senses.
At the same time, a hint of relief could be seen on his face.
Previously, when the Tai Yi Celestial Sect had a new Revered Alchemist, he was worried the situation in the Wasteland would change.
However, it seemed like Duan Lingtian would not change the situation in the Wasteland.
After all, Duan Lingtian would be leaving the borderlands and returning to the central area after the Alchemy Conference.
Meanwhile, Jian Qiu Luo, the Sect Leader of the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect, was relieved as well.
After all, they were both top sects in the Wasteland. Naturally, she did not want the Tai Yi Celestial Sect to surpass the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect in all aspects.
"He … He's from the central area?"
At this moment, even Zhou Shu Qiu was shocked by Duan Ling Tian's words.
This was because previously, although she knew about the relationship between Duan Ling Tian and her best friend, Murong Bing, she did not know about Duan Ling Tian's background and background.
Duan Lingtian was from a prominent clan in the central area?
"That's right … If he's not from the central area, how could he become a prominent Celestial Alchemist who's not even 100 years old?"
"Moreover, his innate talent in the Celestial Dao is extraordinary as well … Back then, only Great Overarching Golden Celestials below the age of 100 are allowed to enter the Little World.
"A prominent Celestial Alchemist who's able to refine the Overarching Heaven Pill and a Great Overarching Golden Celestial before the age of 100 … Such a monstrous genius is rare even in the central area of the Southern Heaven Territory, right?"
The more Zhou Shu Qiu thought about it, the more shocked she became.
What kind of clan could produce such an outstanding junior?
Moreover, with such an outstanding junior, that clan would definitely treat him as a 'treasure', right?
There must be a lot of experts hiding in the dark to protect him, right?
Thinking of this, Zhou Shuqiu couldn't help but look around for a while. She even felt like she was being watched at this moment.
"Master Duan is from the central area?"
Upon hearing Duan Lingtian's words, Li An, the Old Ancestor of the Blissful Sect, narrowed his eyes and asked curiously, "May I know which clan you're from, Master Duan?
"Many of the Ancestors of the Blissful Sect traveled between the central area and the Six Southeastern Regions when they broke through and became Celestial Kings. For this reason, there are many records about the central area in the Blissful Sect that were passed down since ancient times, including the records of many forces in the central area.
I'm very interested in the scrolls as well, so I've read them all … Perhaps, there's a record about the clan you're from. "
When he reached the end of his sentence, Li An glanced deeply at Duan Ling Tian.
Naturally, Duan Lingtian knew Li An was doubting his words. However, his expression remained unchanged as he replied, "I'm from the Crimson Sky's Duan Clan."
The Crimson Sky's Duan Clan!
The reason Duan Ling Tian mentioned such a clan was because he had heard from Situ Ming that the clans in the central area were usually called clans.
In this life, Duan Lingtian was reborn in the mundane realm. The town he was reborn in was located in the Crimson Sky Kingdom.
The Crimson Sky in the Crimson Sky's Duan Clan was named after the kingdom.
"Senior Li An, have you heard of the Crimson Sky Kingdom?"
Duan Lingtian asked as he looked at Li An.
"No." Li An shook his head.
Then, he continued to say with a smile, "The central area is huge. Although many of the ancestors of the Blissful Sect have been to the central area, we don't know all the clans in the central area.
However, the Crimson Sky's Duan Clan isn't among the top ten clans in the central area! "
Li An said.
"Naturally, the Crimson Sky's Duan Clan can't compare to the top ten clans."
Duan Lingtian replied.
Duan Lingtian had heard from He Shan, the Old Ancestor of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, about the top ten clans in the central area. Moreover, they were closely related to the titled Celestial Lord who ruled the central area.
"Master Duan, your clan might not be comparable to the top ten clans, but since you're a prominent Celestial Alchemist who's able to refine the Overarching Heaven Pill even though you're not even 100 years old, I'm sure your clan must be extraordinary."
As Li An spoke, he looked at Duan Lingtian meaningfully before he probed further, "Master Duan, I'm sure your innate talent in the Celestial Dao is not bad, right?"
Li An had intentionally asked this question as well.
Up until now, Duan Lingtian was the only one who knew about Duan Lingtian's identity and origin.
Nobody knew the truth.
Even the people from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect did not seem to know about Duan Lingtian's origin.
Earlier, he had seen through the shocked expressions of He Shan and the three prominent Celestial Alchemists from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect.
"Senior Li An, not only does Master Duan have a heaven-defying innate talent in alchemy, but his innate talent in the Celestial Dao is also extraordinary."
Before Duan Lingtian could reply, Chai Kong Yu, the Sect Leader of the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect, said, "Master Duan is a Great Overarching Golden Celestial even though he's not even 100 years old."
A Great Overarching Golden Celestial who was not even 100 years old?
Li An was shocked when he heard Chai Kong Yu's words.
Although there were many Great Overarching Golden Celestials who were not even 100 years old in the Blissful Sect …
However, those people were all focused on cultivating the Celestial Dao.
A prominent Celestial Alchemist who was not even 100 years old who could refine the Overarching Heaven Pill was also a Great Overarching Golden Celestial?
After all, one could not multitask.
