The middle-aged man was only a peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial. Faced with Duan Lingtian's Celestial King aura, he felt like a lone boat in the middle of a storm that could capsize at any moment.
"Circulate your cultivation method and break through the bottleneck!"
It was only when Duan Ling Tian's voice resonated in the air that the middle-aged man's originally blurry consciousness cleared up slightly.
It was precisely by relying on this bit of clarity that the middle aged man secretly took a deep breath, and then his thoughts became clear as he started to circulate his cultivation technique.
The Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy gathered from all directions and surged into his body. The Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy began to circulate in his body and form Minor Circulations.
After about a dozen breaths …
Whoosh!
A gust of wind blew past. With just a thought, Duan Lingtian withdrew his Divine Consciousness and looked at the middle-aged man indifferently.
Whoosh!
At the same time, a vast and majestic aura surged out of the middle-aged man's body. At the same time, the middle-aged man opened his eyes.
In just a blink of an eye, the middle-aged man's aura had undergone a drastic change.
As he stood there, the aura he emitted was similar to the short middle-aged man who had died in Duan Ling Tian's hands.
An ecstatic expression appeared on the middle-aged man's face as soon as he opened his eyes.
"Congratulations."
"You must have been waiting for this day for a long time, right?"
Duan Lingtian asked indifferently as he looked at the middle-aged man.
"Thank you, my lord!"
Upon hearing Duan Lingtian's words, the middle-aged man fell to his knees and bowed before Duan Lingtian. "From now on, I, Liu Guang Lin, am yours to command!
As long as my lord is willing to let me follow you, I, Liu Guang Lin, am willing to be your servant and be loyal to you for the rest of my life! "
Liu Guang Lin had been a peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial for many years, but he had not been able to break through.
It was not because his innate talent was bad, but because he did not have a Duke Grade cultivation method to cultivate.
Unless one's innate talent was extraordinary, it was extremely difficult for one to break through and become a Celestial Duke with a cultivation method below the Duke Grade.
For example, the short, middle-aged man who had been killed by the purple-clad young man had stagnated at the peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial for 1,000 years before he managed to break through.
Even though Zhang Xuan was far more talented than the other party, he would still need to spend at least a hundred years before he could achieve a breakthrough.
He didn't think that he would be so lucky as to receive the help of an expert several decades later, allowing him to complete his breakthrough to the High Immortal realm in advance!
"I don't think even a Ten Directions Celestial Duke would be able to emit such a powerful aura."
Although Liu Guanglin's cultivation was not high, he happened to see the world once by chance.
He still remembered that it was during the Alchemy Conference held by the various top sects in the Six Southeastern Regions almost 100 years ago.
At that time, he was only there to join in the fun.
However, he had coincidentally witnessed the battle between the Blissful Sect's Old Ancestor, Li Ping, the Ten Directions Celestial Duke.
However, Li Ping's aura at that time could not be compared to the aura that the purple-clothed young man had just displayed.
"Never betray you?"
Duan Ling Tian smiled when he heard Liu Guang Lin's words. "Don't you think you've betrayed your nine companions?"
"My lord."
Liu Guanglin said solemnly, "Among my companions, I only owe my boss my life. The rest of my companions and I only work together to make use of each other.
"If it wasn't for the fact that you saved my life back then, I would have left earlier … I believe that with your benevolence, you wouldn't kill me, someone who didn't offend you or this young lady."
Liu Guanglin looked at Duan Lingtian intently as he spoke. Both of them looked at each other with a hint of wisdom in their eyes.
"There's no master-servant relationship between me and my boss. I, Liu Guanglin, swear that I'll never betray you!
There's no lightning penalty oath in the Devata Realms like in the mundane realms … However, I, Liu Guanglin, am willing to sever one of my arms to prove my loyalty! "
As soon as Liu Guanglin finished speaking, he raised his right hand, and a saber ray flashed before he slashed it down on his left shoulder.
It was much more difficult to regrow a severed arm in the Devata Realms compared to the mundane realms.
In the mundane realms, there were some rare medicinal herbs that could regrow a severed arm because the body of a person in the mundane realms was only mortal.
Once a person ascended to a Devata Realm, they would undergo the baptism of the Celestial Ascension Pool. After the baptism, their body would be transformed from a mortal to a Celestial.
Once a Celestial's body was damaged, it would be useless no matter how many medicinal herbs one consumed in the mundane realms.
Only by finding some rare medicinal herbs or pills in the Devata Realms would one be able to regrow one's body.
Swoosh!
The saber ray shone brightly as it was about to cut off Liu Guanglin's left arm.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
…
Just as the saber light was only a foot away from Liu Guanglin's left arm, a gentle breeze blew past, bringing with it a vast and boundless power.
In just a blink of an eye, Liu Guanglin's saber ray disappeared into thin air as though it was never there.
"I trust you."
The person who made the move was none other than Duan Lingtian.
After experiencing two reincarnations, Duan Lingtian believed he had a good eye for people. He could tell Liu Guanglin was a person who knew how to repay kindness and was a man of his word.
This Liu Guang Lin in front of him was unwilling to leave earlier. Even though he knew that he was going to die, he was still willing to share life and death with his eight companions. This made him have a good impression of him.
Moreover, since Liu Guang Lin had never spoken to Huan 'er, Duan Ling Tian had no intention of killing him.
Instead, when Duan Lingtian extended his Divine Consciousness and discovered Liu Guanglin was only a step away from becoming a Celestial Duke, he decided to recruit Liu Guanglin.
The journey to the central area was long and arduous. With Huan 'er leading the way, their speed was slow. Moreover, they were often robbed by ignorant Celestials.
If it were a Celestial Duke leading the way, it would save them a lot of effort in the borderlands, let alone the central area.
"You'll stay by my side from now on."
Duan Lingtian said indifferently, "My name is Duan Lingtian. As for the person next to me, you can call her Miss Huan 'er. She's my younger sister."
"Thank you, my lord."
Liu Guanglin thanked Duan Lingtian profusely when he heard Duan Lingtian's words. At the same time, he bowed respectfully at Huan 'er who was standing next to Duan Lingtian. "Greetings, Miss Huan' er. I'm Liu Guanglin."
However, Huan 'er had no time to pay attention to Liu Guanglin at this moment.
She could not help but recall Duan Lingtian's words to Liu Guanglin.
'Younger sister?
So, he's only been treating me as a younger sister all this time? '
Although Huan 'er knew Duan Lingtian was avoiding her and treated her like a younger sister, she still felt uneasy when she heard Duan Lingtian's words.
"My lord, where are you and Miss Huan 'er heading to?"
Liu Guanglin asked respectfully as he looked at Duan Lingtian.
"We're leaving the borderlands and heading to the central area. Since you've decided to follow me, you'll lead the way."
Duan Lingtian said.
"Yes, my lord."
Liu Guang Lin accepted the order respectfully. At the same time, he thought Duan Ling Tian had to cultivate or comprehend Celestial Methods or Divine Abilities since he was so strong and yet he did not bring anyone along.
Just like that, another person appeared in Duan Ling Tian's group.
"My lord, you're a Celestial King, right?"
Liu Guanglin asked curiously when he saw Duan Lingtian had no intention of cultivating or comprehending Celestial Methods or Divine Abilities.
"I am now."
Duan Lingtian nodded.
"I am now?"
Liu Guanglin was confused. He did not understand what Duan Lingtian meant.
"Do you know about consumable Royal Grade Celestial Weapons?"
Duan Lingtian asked.
"Consumable Royal Grade Celestial Weapons?"
Liu Guanglin's heart skipped a beat when he heard Duan Lingtian's words. He quickly replied, "My lord, I've heard of such Celestial Weapons … It's said that such Celestial Weapons are rarer than ordinary Emperor Grade Celestial Weapons!
However, once you obtain the Celestial Weapons, you'll be able to gain a lot of power by consuming the Celestial Weapons. Moreover, there won't be any side effects when you use the Celestial Weapons. "
Liu Guang Lin seemed to have thought of something as he looked at Duan Ling Tian in disbelief. "Sir, why did you suddenly bring this up at this time?"
Don't tell me you … "
Liu Guanglin's eyes were filled with shock.
"Yes."
Duan Lingtian nodded and said calmly, "My current strength comes from a consumable Royal Grade Celestial Weapon. Before I helped you, although I've consumed a lot of the power granted to me by the Celestial Weapon, it's still comparable to a Five Elements Celestial King.
However, after helping you break through and become a Celestial Duke, my strength is only comparable to a Four Phenomenons Celestial King.
I didn't bring Huan 'er along because I didn't want to waste too much of the power granted to me by the Celestial Weapon. Now that I've asked you to bring us along, it's the same. "
Duan Lingtian paused for a moment before he looked at Liu Guanglin and said, "My true strength is slightly weaker than Huan 'er's. I'm only a profound-rank Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial. Although I'm close to a breakthrough, I'll only be an earth-rank Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial."
Duan Lingtian had spent most of his time comprehending Celestial Methods, Divine Abilities, and alchemy. Otherwise, he would have become an earth-rank Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial a long time ago.
I'll give you a chance to leave, and I'll pretend I didn't hear your promise. "
Duan Ling Tian looked at Liu Guang Lin calmly when he finished speaking.
