Naturally, the people who were looking at Duan Lingtian with jealousy were not the people from the Simplicity Celestial Sect who had followed Zhang Guang Zheng here. Instead, they were the peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials who had chosen to join the Simplicity Celestial Sect.
Many of these peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials were confident in their strength. They were certain Duan Lingtian was only able to rank second because of Duan Lingtian's luck.
If they were as lucky as Duan Lingtian, they might even be able to rank second.
"Duan Lingtian is definitely not as strong as me. However, he's able to walk side by side with Vice Sect Leader Zhang. Moreover, Vice Sect Leader Zhang is also respectful to him."
A grey-clothed old man in the crowd looked at Duan Ling Tian's figure, and flames of jealousy burned in his eyes.
He was a peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial who had comprehended two profundities from the law of fire. He was considered one of the strongest among those who had entered the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm.
In this time's rankings, he was ranked ninth.
Apart from Duan Lingtian, he was the only other person in the top ten who had chosen to join the Simplicity Celestial Sect.
He had chosen to join the Simplicity Celestial Sect because the sect had the most King Grade fire-type Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities among the Three Sects and Two Clans.
If he joined the Simplicity Celestial Sect, he would have a chance to obtain King Grade fire-type Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities and comprehend profundities from the law of fire.
He had never thought of joining the Profound Nether Mansion.
After all, Duan Ling Tian was no longer young. The Profound Nether Mansion only recruited those below the age of 300 who had high innate talent and high comprehension ability in the Three Sects and Two Clans.
Therefore, he had only planned to join the Simplicity Celestial Sect and earn a place in the sect. Then, he would try to obtain the King Grade fire-type Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities.
However, when he saw Duan Lingtian, who was not even 100 years old, standing next to Vice Sect Leader Zhang Guang Zheng, while he could only follow behind Zhang Guang Zheng, the Vice Sect Leader of the Simplicity Celestial Sect, he was infuriated.
Fortunately, the grey-clad old man had forgotten about what had happened in the Time Canyon in the Celestial Lord Temple in the lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm. Otherwise, he would not have dared to provoke Duan Lingtian.
After all, he'd witnessed Duan Lingtian instantly kill Li Yuan who'd comprehended two profundities of the law of fire just like him!
Although Li Yuan had comprehended two profundities of the Law of Fire like him, the second profundity Li Yuan had comprehended was stronger than the second profundity he had comprehended. Therefore, his strength was inferior to Li Yuan's.
At that time, when he saw Li Yuan being instantly killed by Duan Lingtian, even though he was envious that Duan Lingtian occupied the highest stone platform in the Time Canyon, he didn't dare to fight for it.
However, after leaving the lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm, he no longer remembered these things.
For this reason, he assumed Duan Lingtian was only ranked second on the scoreboard due to luck.
Naturally, the grey-clad old man was not the only one who was jealous of Duan Lingtian. There were also some people who were ranked at the top of the scoreboard who had comprehended the Fundamental Profundity of a law.
"Duan Lingtian isn't even 100 years old, but he's ranked second on the scoreboard. In my opinion, it's purely because of luck!"
"I think so too. It's already rare for a brat who's not even 100 years old to become a peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial, let alone comprehending the Fundamental Profundity of a law. "
"Hmph! I can't believe he's being treated this way just because he's lucky. Moreover, based on his ranking, I'm sure he'll be rewarded handsomely. "
…
The peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials who were relatively strong whispered among themselves as they stared at Duan Lingtian's back. It was as though they thought Duan Lingtian had relied on luck to rank second on the scoreboard.
Naturally, there were exceptions.
For example, Xue Jing Yu.
Xue Jing Yu, the Second Prince of the Southern Qi Nation, had comprehended the law of thunder's Fundamental Profundity, the Thunder Elemental Profundity.
However, when he looked at Duan Ling Tian, he did not underestimate him at all.
After all, before entering the lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm, he had fought with Duan Lingtian once. Therefore, he knew how terrifying Duan Lingtian was.
'These idiots probably don't know that Duan Lingtian has comprehended two profundities from the law of earth even though he's not even 100 years old, right?'
At this moment, Xue JingYu felt a strong sense of superiority when he heard the whispers of a group of people around him whose strength was comparable to his.
"Duan Lingtian, are you really a sectless cultivator?"
Originally, Duan Ling Tian and Zhang Guang Zheng were just chatting idly when Zhang Guang Zheng suddenly asked such a question.
"Yes."
Duan Lingtian nodded in response to Zhang Guangzheng's question.
In the Devata Realms, Duan Lingtian did not belong to a powerful sect. Naturally, he was considered a sectless cultivator.
Even if someone from a small sect in the borderlands came to the central area, as long as they did not join a powerful sect, they would still be considered as a sectless cultivator.
"It's rare for a sectless cultivator to reach your current level at such a young age. However, from today onward, you're no longer a sectless cultivator. You're a true disciple of the Simplicity Celestial Sect."
Although Zhang Guangzheng found it hard to believe Duan Lingtian was a sectless cultivator, he did not say anything since Duan Lingtian had said so.
"True disciple?"
Duan Lingtian was taken aback. "What's a true disciple?"
"A true disciple is the title of the most outstanding disciple in the Simplicity Celestial Sect. There are only ten true disciples in the Simplicity Celestial Sect.
"Ten years ago, one of our Simplicity Celestial Sect's true disciples died. Since then, we've been looking for someone to fill the spot."
Since you've chosen to join the Simplicity Celestial Sect, the sect leader decided to give you the position. "
Duan Lingtian nodded.
He could not help but ask, "What's the difference between a true disciple in the Simplicity Celestial Sect and a core disciple in the Coupling Celestial Sect?"
"Of course, there's a difference."
Zhang Guangzheng replied, "The Simplicity Celestial Sect only has ten true disciples. However, the Coupling Celestial Sect only has around 100 core disciples."
Upon hearing this, Duan Lingtian was rendered speechless again. He felt Bihai Mingfeng, the Third Sect Leader of the Coupling Celestial Sect, was too petty.
Previously, Bihai Mingfeng had promised Duan Lingtian that as long as he joined the Coupling Celestial Sect, he would be able to enjoy the benefits of a core disciple.
However, there were more than 100 core disciples in the Coupling Celestial Sect. Even if they were treated well, how good could their treatment be?
"Since there are so few true disciples, they must have special privileges in the Simplicity Celestial Sect, right?"
Duan Lingtian asked.
"Of course."
Zhang Guangzheng nodded. "True disciples can comprehend all the King Grade Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities in the Simplicity Celestial Sect.
Naturally, there are many other benefits as well. You can learn more about them when you join the sect. "
Duan Lingtian nodded.
"Then, the benefits you promised as a direct disciple of the sect leader …"
Duan Lingtian suddenly remembered Zhang Guangzheng's promise.
"In fact, since you've become a true disciple, you'll be treated the same as a direct disciple of the sect leader. Initially, I didn't expect you to become a true disciple of the Simplicity Celestial Sect. It was only after you chose to join the Simplicity Celestial Sect that the sect leader sent me a message."
Duan Lingtian nodded.
Realization dawned on Duan Lingtian.
…
There were 81 Devata Realms in total.
Every Devata Realm had a sacred place called the Heavenly Palace. It was the cultivation place of the Heavenly Emperors of the Devata Realms.
The Heavenly Palace represented the forces under the control of the Heavenly Emperor.
In the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven.
Ever since Feng Qingyang, the Heavenly Emperor of the Solitary Destructive Heaven, fled to the Asura Hell, one of the seven deadliest places in the Devata Realms, many Ten Directions Celestial Emperors fought for the position of the Heavenly Emperor.
In the end, a Ten Directions Celestial Emperor named Ni Yang took over the position of Heavenly Emperor of the Solitary Destructive Heaven and became the new Heavenly Emperor.
Whoosh!
A gust of wind blew past the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven. A figure appeared out of thin air in the dark sky.
"Chen Qiu Bo!"
As soon as the figure appeared, an indifferent voice rang in the air. It was as though a devil's voice had reverberated throughout the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven.
"Who's that?!"
"Who's so bold to address the Lord Heavenly Emperor by his name?!"
"Is he trying to rebel?"
…
When the indifferent voice echoed throughout the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven, everyone who heard it was shocked.
Chen Qiu Bo was the name of the Heavenly Emperor of the Solitary Destructive Heaven, Ni Yang Celestial Emperor.
Although they knew it was the name of the Heavenly Emperor of the Solitary Destructive Heaven, no one dared to address him by his name since it would be disrespectful to him.
"Who's that? How dare you address the Lord Heavenly Emperor by his name?!"
A few moments later, a tall and burly figure rose into the air from the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven. In just a blink of an eye, he arrived at the source of the voice.
"It's me."
The white-clothed youth, who had a medium build and a handsome appearance, glanced at the newcomer indifferently.
"You …"
The tall and burly figure was a large man with a curly beard. However, when he saw the white-clothed young man, his eyes suddenly shrunk. Shock and disbelief appeared on his face.
"Lord … Lord Heavenly Emperor?!"
The burly man's eyes turned red as tears streamed down his cheeks. It was as though he had turned into a crybaby at this moment.
"You …" The white-clad young man shook his head.
He looked at the burly man mockingly and said, "Aren't you Chen Qiu Bo's master now? It seems like you're going to stand up for Chen Qiu Bo. "
"Lord Heavenly Emperor, please don't make fun of me … The reason I haven't left the Heavenly Emperor Palace is because your Soul Orb is safe and sound. That's why I'm staying here and waiting for your return."
The burly man smiled wryly.
At the same time, the burly man frowned slightly. "Lord Heavenly Emperor, why do I feel like your voice has deepened?"
"This is just my clone from the law of earth."
The white-clad young man said indifferently.
