Duan Lingtian was, naturally, unaware of the commotion in the Wasteland after he left the Tai Yi Celestial Sect and the Wasteland.
At this moment, Tie Tai He, the Supreme Elder of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, was leading him to the Blissful Sect's estate in the Cross Region.
Along the way, he had been comprehending the Duke Grade Celestial Method, the Immobilization King Method, that he had won from the Blissful Sect.
Once he mastered the Immobilization King Method, he would leave the borderlands and head to the central area.
Naturally, one of the reasons he asked Tie Tai He to bring him to the Blissful Sect was because he wanted to comprehend the Immobilization King Method.
Another reason was that he did not want to exhaust his Celestial Origin Energy during the journey.
After using the consumable King Grade Celestial Weapon, his strength was comparable to an ordinary Celestial Lord. However, his strength was not permanent.
As long as he consumed his Celestial Origin Energy, his strength would continue to weaken until he returned to his original state.
'Now that I've only made one move … I feel like my Celestial Origin Energy and soul are much weaker than before.'
Previously, my strength was comparable to an ordinary Celestial Lord. Now, I'm afraid I'm only comparable to a Ten Directions Celestial King. '
Duan Lingtian sighed inwardly.
A Ten Directions Celestial King was the strongest Celestial King. Although they were only a step away from becoming a Celestial Lord, the difference in strength was like heaven and earth.
'Nevertheless, with my current strength, I'm still able to do whatever I want in the Six Southeastern Regions.'
With this thought in mind, Duan Lingtian felt relieved.
For this reason, he focused on comprehending the Duke Grade Celestial Method, the Immobilization King Method, as soon as possible.
While Duan Lingtian was comprehending the Celestial Method, Huan 'er was recuperating from her injuries.
Ji Fan, the Arhat of the Blissful Sect, did not do anything at all. He followed Tie Tai He to the Blissful Sect's estate like a zombie.
'The sect must have learned about my ancestor's death by now, right?'
Ji Fan sighed inwardly with a bitter expression on his face.
He did not feel sad about the death of his ancestor, the Old Ancestor of the Blissful Sect, Li An. He only felt that he was unlucky. Why did he follow Tie Tai He?
After all, he was the one who had asked Tai He was the Blissful Sect's.
In the past, he still had some feelings for his grandmaster, Li An.
However, after Li An abandoned him and fled on his own, his feelings for Li An had completely vanished!
Although he could understand Li An's actions at that time, if he was Li An, he would also do the same.
However, he couldn't accept kneeling down to understand.
…
Du Yu, Blissful Sect.
The encampment of the Blissful Sect was located in a lofty mountain range surrounded by clouds and mist all year round. Apparently, the mist was the result of an Illusory Formation.
On this day, the Blissful Sect's estate was in an uproar.
Boom!!
Rumble!!
…
Without any warning, the entire Blissful Sect's estate trembled violently as though an earthquake had just taken place.
"What happened?"
"This is … an earthquake?"
"Impossible! The Blissful Sect's estate is protected by many Formations, and some of them are used to deal with earthquakes. Even if there's an earthquake, the estate won't be affected. "
"Then what's going on?"
"I don't know."
…
In the Blissful Sect's encampment, many people flew out of their cultivation rooms and looked at each other in confusion. They had no idea what had happened.
"Brother An!"
It wasn't until an earth-shattering roar reverberated in the air, causing the eardrums of the Blissful Sect members to tremble. Only then did they realize what had just happened.
"Isn't that Old Ancestor Li Ping's voice?"
"Based on his voice, it seems like something has happened to Old Ancestor Li An?"
"It can't be, right?"
"Old Ancestor Li An left the sect not long ago to look for Duan Lingtian in the Tai Yi Celestial Sect in the Wasteland … It's impossible for anyone in the Wasteland to pose a threat to him, right?"
"That's right! Unless Duan Lingtian is from a powerful clan in the central area and has a Celestial King by his side, it's impossible for him to kill Old Ancestor Li An! "
…
When the high-ranking members of the Blissful Sect heard the angry roar, they realized that their other Patriarch, Li An, might be in trouble.
Otherwise, Li Ping, the Old Ancestor of the Blissful Sect, would not be so angry.
"Let's go! Let's see what happened! "
"Let's go!"
The high-ranking officials of the Blissful Sect, including the Sect Leader of the Blissful Sect, immediately flew toward the source of the thunderous voice.
Although they did not know what had happened, they knew it was impossible for them to guess what had happened.
"Old Ancestor Li An is in the Blissful Sect.
Based on Old Ancestor Li An's reaction, it seems like something has happened to Old Ancestor Li An. Based on Old Ancestor Li An's Soul Pearl, it seems like something has happened to Old Ancestor Li An! "
"Unless Old Ancestor Li An is dead, it's impossible for Old Ancestor Li Ping to know about Old Ancestor Li An's condition."
"Old Ancestor Li An is dead?"
"Although I hope it's not true, I'm sure it's the truth. We'll be able to confirm it once we meet Old Ancestor Li Ping. "
…
The high-ranking officials of the Blissful Sect discussed among themselves as they made their way to Li Ping, the Old Ancestor of the Blissful Sect.
As for their expressions, they all had ugly expressions on their faces.
If the Blissful Sect's Patriarch Li An was really dead, it wouldn't be good news for the Blissful Sect.
This meant that the Blissful Sect would lose their lives.
The Blissful Sect would lose a Nine Palaces Celestial Duke!
Moreover, the Nine Palaces Celestial Duke was the most likely person in the Six Southeastern Regions to become a Ten Directions Celestial Duke.
If Old Ancestor Li An was dead, they would lose a Ten Directions Celestial Duke in the near future.
This was a heavy blow to the Blissful Sect.
When the disciples of the Blissful Sect realized that Li An, one of the two Old Ancestors of the Blissful Sect, might be in trouble, their expressions turned grim and unsightly.
At this moment, the high-ranking officials of the Blissful Sect finally arrived at the place where Old Ancestor Li Ping cultivated.
There were two Old Ancestors in the Blissful Sect; they were Li Ping and Li An.
Based on their names, it seemed more like they were brothers.
But in reality, the two of them weren't blood brothers, they were just cousins …
However, after so many years of mutual support, the relationship between the two of them had long surpassed the category of cousins. It was comparable to, or even better than, blood brothers!
For this reason, they cared deeply about each other.
"Senior uncle … What's going on?"
The Sect Leader of the Blissful Sect was a middle-aged monk dressed in a red kasaya. He was tall and burly, and his face was as fair as jade.
The high-ranking officials of the Blissful Sect followed closely behind him.
"Old Ancestor."
Everyone bowed and greeted the person in front of them.
A skinny old man stood in front of them. His robes fluttered in the wind, and his Celestial Origin Energy surged out of his body like flames. He stared at the shattered Soul Pearl in his hand, and his eyes widened in anger.
Anyone who stood in front of him would be able to sense the old man's rage.
The old man ignored the greetings from the high-ranking officials of the Blissful Sect.
After a while, he raised his head slightly and looked at the Sect Leader of the Blissful Sect with bloodshot eyes. "Kong 'er … Your master is dead!"
"This … This is your master's Soul Pearl."
Li Ping, the Old Ancestor of the Blissful Sect, spoke in a trembling voice. It was clear he was trying to suppress the anger in his voice when he spoke.
"Master!"
Liu Xuan Kong, the Sect Leader of the Blissful Sect, knelt on the ground with a sorrowful expression on his face when he heard Li Ping's confirmation.
"What … What's going on? What the hell is going on? "
Liu Xuan Kong, the Sect Leader of the Blissful Sect, slammed his palms on the ground as tears streamed down his face.
"I want to know … Where's Brother An now?"
Li Ping glanced at the high-ranking officials of the Blissful Sect and asked in a deep voice, "Based on Brother An's shattered Soul Pearl, it seems like he's been dead for quite some time.
Before I entered closed-door cultivation, I think he went to the Barren Land to participate in the Alchemy Conference. "
Li Ping's gaze fell on Liu Xuankong as he finished speaking.
Because of this, Li Ping went into seclusion for a period of time, so he did not know that Li An had returned after participating in the Alchemy Conference.
"Senior uncle."
Liu Xuan Kong did not dare to slack off when he heard Li Ping's question. He truthfully told Li Ping everything that had happened.
"A prominent Celestial Alchemist who's able to refine Overarching Heaven Pills before he's even 100 years old? He's widely acknowledged as the number one prominent Celestial Alchemist in the Six Southeastern Regions after the Alchemy Conference?
Moreover, he's an Overarching Heaven Supreme Celestial?
"And such a person … is just an 'ascender' who has just ascended from the mundane realm?"
Li Ping was dumbfounded when he heard Liu Xuan Kong's words and learned that the Tai Yi Celestial Sect in the Wasteland had a Revered Celestial Alchemist named Duan Lingtian.
At this moment, Li Ping had even forgotten about his cousin's death.
He looked at Liu Xuan Kong and asked in a deep voice, "So Brother An went to the Tai Yi Celestial Sect in the Wasteland to kill him?"
"Yes."
Liu Xuan Kong nodded.
"Fool! Fool! "
Li Ping's eyes widened when he saw Liu Xuan Kong nodding. "Even if he's an ascender, you should at least investigate his background in the Spirit Overarching Heaven, right? “
There are many powerful forces in the Spirit Overarching Heaven that have legacies in the mundane realm. "
Li An's voice grew colder as he spoke.
"Senior uncle."
Liu Xuankong smiled bitterly. "If he really has a powerful background, I'm afraid he would have been taken away as soon as he ascended. We've looked into it. He's been working hard all this time without any external help."
