"Although Zheng Hong Yi is the third disciple of the Sect Leader of the Simplicity Celestial Sect, he doesn't seem to be a true disciple."
"No wonder he sounded jealous. He's jealous of Duan Lingtian!"
"Even I'm jealous of Duan Lingtian!"
…
Although the peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials present on the scene had not joined the Simplicity Celestial Sect, they knew what it meant to be a true disciple in the Simplicity Celestial Sect.
"The Sect Leader actually gave the tenth position to a brat who hasn't even joined the sect?"
Meanwhile, the disciples from the Simplicity Celestial Sect who were patrolling the area looked at Duan Ling Tian in a different light.
"Who's this brat?"
"He hasn't even joined the sect, but the Sect Leader has already given him the position of a true disciple. Moreover, the Vice Sect Leader seems to be very polite to him."
"It seems like the people the Vice Sect Leader brought back this time are those who survived the lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm and chose to join the Simplicity Celestial Sect, right?"
"Is this brat someone who survived the lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm as well? Since the Vice Sect Leader treats him so well, it seems like he's ranked very high on the scoreboard. "
"Ranked high? He's not even 100 years old. How high can his ranking be? "
"Not even 100 years old?"
"He's really not even 100 years old!"
"A peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial who's not even 100 years old has comprehended one profundity. However, such a person shouldn't be worthy of the Vice Sect Leader's treatment, right?"
"Such a person shouldn't be worthy of the Sect Leader giving him the position of a true disciple in the Simplicity Celestial Sect."
…
The patrolling disciples of the Simplicity Celestial Sect whispered among themselves. They were curious as to why the Sect Leader and Vice Sect Leader of the Simplicity Celestial Sect treated the purple-clad young man so well.
"Although Duan Lingtian isn't even 100 years old, he's ranked second in the lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm!"
As the Vice Sect Leader of the Simplicity Celestial Sect, Zhang Guang Zheng's ears were sharp. It was not difficult for him to eavesdrop on the conversations of the patrolling disciples.
Apart from that, not only is he a peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial, but he has also comprehended two profundities from the law of earth.
Zhang Guangzheng continued.
After he finished speaking, he looked at Duan Lingtian and said with a smile, "Duan Lingtian, ignore them … Follow me to see the Sect Leader."
"Yes."
Duan Lingtian nodded. Before he left, he glanced at Zheng Hong Yi, then withdrew his gaze.
Now, he finally knew why Zheng Hongyi looked at him with such a gaze.
It turned out that it was because he had been designated as a Successor Disciple.
As for Zheng Hong Yi, he was not a true disciple of the Sect Leader of the Simplicity Celestial Sect.
'As the direct disciple of the current Sect Leader of the Simplicity Celestial Sect, Zheng Hong Yi must've been eyeing the position of a true disciple since a long time ago. Now that the Sect Leader of the Simplicity Celestial Sect gave it to me, he must be displeased.'
It wasn't hard for Duan Lingtian to figure this out.
After Duan Lingtian left with Zhang Guangzheng, Zhang Guangzheng told him the reason Zheng Hong Yi had targeted him. It was just as he had guessed.
"If you didn't show up, Zheng Hong Yi would've had a high chance of obtaining the position of a true disciple."
Zhang Guangzheng said.
After Duan Lingtian and Zhang Guangzheng left, apart from Zheng Hong Yi and Xue Jing Yu who were aware of Duan Lingtian's strength, the other peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials and the patrolling disciples of the Simplicity Celestial Sect were shocked by Zhang Guangzheng's words.
"A peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial who's not even 100 years old has comprehended two profundities from the law of earth? H-how's this possible?! "
"It's still possible for him to be ranked second in the lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm. However, he's not even 100 years old, but he's already a peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial and has comprehended two profundities from the law of earth. This isn't something an ordinary person can achieve!"
"It's not just an ordinary person … Even the monstrous geniuses in the history of the Simplicity Celestial Sect aren't able to achieve this."
"I didn't expect the purple-clad young man to be so monstrous. It's no wonder the sect leader and the vice sect leader treated him that way."
"No wonder the sect leader gave him the position of a true disciple. As it turns out, his innate talent and comprehension ability are monstrous!"
…
Previously, not only the patrolling disciples of the Simplicity Celestial Sect, but even the peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials who had followed Zhang Guangzheng back were unaware of Duan Lingtian's true strength.
"Did Duan Lingtian really comprehend two profundities from the law of earth?"
Many peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials were skeptical.
"There's no doubt about it … Before the lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm opened, I personally witnessed the battle between Duan Lingtian and Xue Jing Yu, the Second Prince of the Southern Qi Nation.
Duan Lingtian was defeated by Duan Lingtian, "a middle-aged peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial who looked like a middle-aged man said as he looked at Xue Jing Yu who was standing nearby." Xue Jing Yu happened to be here as well. If you don't believe me, you can ask him. "
Suddenly, everyone's eyes fell on Xue Jing Yu.
Xue Jing Yu nodded. "That's right. Duan Lingtian has indeed comprehended two profundities from the law of earth. Apart from the Earth Elemental Profundity, he has also comprehended a defensive profundity.
Even with my full strength, I couldn't break through his defenses. "
Xue Jing Yu said.
As the Second Prince of the Southern Qi Nation and a genius, many of the peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials present on the scene were aware of Xue Jing Yu's strength.
Now that they had heard Xue Jing Yu's confirmation, they no longer doubted him.
"Everyone, come with me … I'll take you to complete the procedures to enter the sect, and then arrange a place for you to stay."
Zheng Hong Yi said to Xue Jing Yu and the others after he saw Duan Ling Tian and Zhang Guang Zheng's silhouettes disappear from his sight. He took a deep breath and suppressed the resentment in his heart.
While leading Xue JingYu and the others to go through the procedures to enter the sect, Zheng Hong Yi's eyes flashed coldly.
'He's just a peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial … Even if he dies in an accident, no one will suspect me.'
In his heart, he had already sentenced the purple-clad young man whom he had only met once to death. After all, the purple-clad young man had snatched his spot as a true disciple.
Although he might not have been able to obtain the spot even if the purple-clad young man did not show up, at least he still had a chance.
However, now that the purple-clad young man had appeared, he no longer had any hope of obtaining the spot.
The Sect Leader of the Simplicity Celestial Sect had one of the best cultivation places in the sect. The Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy here was at least five times denser than the outside world.
It was not difficult for Duan Ling Tian to notice this as soon as he entered.
The Sect Leader of the Simplicity Celestial Sect's cultivation place was located in a small valley. The valley was surrounded by lush greenery, birds chirped, and flowers bloomed. It was like a paradise.
"Sect leader."
Zhang Guang Zheng brought Duan Lingtian to the valley. He looked at the wooden house in the middle of the valley and bowed slightly.
"Senior Brother Zhang, how many times have I told you? There's no need for formalities between us. Just call me by my name like before … If it weren't for you, Senior Brother Zhang, I would have died long ago, and I wouldn't be alive today!"
After Zhang Guang Zheng bowed, Duan Lingtian saw a figure appearing in the air above the wooden house. It was a middle-aged man with a medium build who was dressed in a shabby robe.
The middle-aged man had an ordinary appearance, but his eyes were unusually bright. He had a sharp aura about him.
'He's the Sect Leader of the Simplicity Celestial Sect?'
Duan Lingtian's eyes flashed. Since the middle-aged man had appeared here at this time, there was no doubt he was the Sect Leader of the Simplicity Celestial Sect.
"Formalities mustn't be forgotten."
Zhang Guang Zheng looked at the middle-aged man and said.
The middle-aged man smiled helplessly. Then, he looked at Duan Lingtian who was standing next to Zhang Guang Zheng and said with a smile, "You must be Duan Lingtian, right?
I'm the current Sect Leader of the Simplicity Celestial Sect, Sun Liang Peng! "
The middle-aged man looked at Duan Ling Tian, his eyes slightly curved, and the smile on his face gave Duan Ling Tian a feeling as if he was bathing in the spring breeze.
"Sect leader."
Duan Ling Tian greeted the Sect Leader of the Simplicity Celestial Sect when he heard the introduction.
"Senior Brother Zhang has informed me of your situation through a Communication Celestial Talisman."
Sun Liang Peng looked at Duan Lingtian and said, "However, I still want to test your strength … You won't mind, right?"
Before Duan Lingtian could reply, Sun Liang Peng added, "Naturally, I'll suppress my Celestial Origin Energy to the level of a peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial. At the same time, I'll only cast two profundities of the same law."
"Of course, I don't mind."
Duan Lingtian was not surprised by Sun Liang Peng's request. After all, the Simplicity Celestial Sect had promised him many things.
"Great!"
Sun Liang Peng's eyes lit up. Then, he stood on his tiptoes and flew up like a swallow. In just a blink of an eye, he was 1,000 meters in the air.
Duan Ling Tian's figure flashed as he rose into the air as well.
"Chaos Divine Earth!"
At the same time, Duan Lingtian called out to the Chaos Divine Earth, "The Sect Leader of the Simplicity Celestial Sect isn't an ordinary person … When you're helping me defend, try to give him the impression that I've comprehended a defensive profundity from the law of earth."
"Don't worry about it."
The Chaos Divine Earth replied in its childish voice. Clearly, it was not worried Sun Liang Peng would see through its disguise.
"I heard you're proficient in a defensive profundity from the law of earth … I'll use my Celestial Origin Energy as a peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial, two profundities from the law of metal, and some Duke Grade Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities to attack you!"
Sun Liang Peng and Duan Lingtian stood facing each other. Soon enough, a strange-looking sword appeared in Sun Liang Peng's hand.
The reason why this sword was strange was because it was not only four feet long, but also covered with all kinds of strange water chestnuts. Each water chestnut was shining with a sharp light.
"This is a King Grade Celestial Sword that has been nurtured by a Celestial Lord. It's also my personal weapon … Since you're ranked second in the lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm, I'm sure you have a purely defensive King Grade Celestial Weapon that has been nurtured by a Celestial Lord, right?"
