"The first person in the history of the Simplicity Celestial Sect to become a true disciple of the Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial was just like you. He comprehended two profundities from the same law before he was even 100 years old. However, he wasn't as talented as you. He only became an Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial when he was slightly over 100 years old. Even so, his battle prowess far surpassed those peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials who had yet to comprehend any profundities from a law! "
A hint of sadness could be seen in Sun Liang Peng's eyes when he mentioned the person in the history of the Simplicity Celestial Sect.
"What happened to that person in the end?"
In Duan Lingtian's opinion, the person in the history of the Simplicity Celestial Sect who comprehended two profundities from the same law before he was even 100 years old would definitely have a bright future ahead of him.
After all, such a person would be considered a peerless genius even in the Southern Heaven Territory, let alone the Profound Nether Mansion.
In fact, there were only a few such geniuses in the history of the Profound Nether Mansion.
However, when Duan Lingtian saw the sadness in Sun Liang Peng's eyes, he speculated that the person might have met with a mishap during his growth.
After all, the Simplicity Celestial Sect was only a grade-seven sect under the Profound Nether Mansion. Moreover, it was indirectly under the Profound Nether Mansion.
If the genius disciple of the Simplicity Celestial Sect had grown stronger, given enough time, even if the Simplicity Celestial Sect could not become one of the top sects in the Southern Heaven Territory, it would at least become a grade-six sect on par with the Profound Nether Mansion.
"He had just become a One Basic Celestial Duke when he was assassinated. The assassin was a Five Elements Celestial King. Moreover, he was a professional assassin. Although the assassin was killed before he could escape from the Simplicity Celestial Sect, there was no way he could save the genius in the Simplicity Celestial Sect.
Just like that, the Simplicity Celestial Sect lost an opportunity to rise … "
A bitter smile appeared on Sun Liang Peng's face as he spoke.
"Who hired the assassin? Did you manage to find out who the culprit was? "
Duan Lingtian asked.
"No."
Sun Liang Peng shook his head. Then, he added, "Although we don't know who hired the assassin, based on the items in his Spatial Ring, he's not from the Profound Nether Mansion."
Moreover, there's no assassin organization in the Profound Nether Mansion's territory that's capable of dispatching a Five Elements Celestial King … Although there are assassin organizations in the Profound Nether Mansion's territory, due to the suppression of the Profound Nether Mansion, they're not large at all. "
"In fact, it's basically impossible for other assassin organizations in Grade Six Immortal Mansions to dispatch a Five Elements Celestial King."
Sun Liang Peng's eyes flashed coldly as he continued to say, "For this reason, the elders of the Simplicity Celestial Sect are certain someone has left the Profound Nether Mansion's territory and hired an assassin to kill our genius disciple.
"In the grade-six Celestial Mansions in the Southern Heaven Territory, it's impossible for a Five Elements Celestial King to appear. However, in the Southern Heaven Territory, there are several assassin organizations that are capable of dispatching such a powerful assassin!"
"The Simplicity Celestial Sect is only a grade-seven sect in the Profound Nether Mansion's territory. Even if we wanted to investigate this matter, we wouldn't be able to find any assassin organizations in the Southern Heaven Territory.
However, we're certain the person who hired the assassin is from the Profound Nether Mansion! "
Sun Liangpeng said the last sentence with absolute certainty.
"The genius from the Simplicity Celestial Sect is considered a rare genius in the Profound Nether Mansion. Even in the Southern Heaven Territory, he's considered a once-in-a-century genius!
"Once such a genius matures, he'll be able to change the power structure in the Profound Nether Mansion. At that time, many people and sects would be affected or even suppressed."
Let's not talk about it anymore. It's all in the past. It's just that the Simplicity Celestial Sect is unlucky. Otherwise, such a genius wouldn't have died so early. "
Sun Liang Peng shook his head and sighed.
"A Five Elements Celestial King …"
Duan Lingtian was shocked when he heard Sun Liang Peng's words. He instinctively asked, "Sect leader, I'm considered a disciple of the Simplicity Celestial Sect now … Won't someone target me?"
"You don't have to worry about that."
Sun Liang Peng was slightly taken aback when he heard Duan Lingtian's words. However, he was amused by Duan Lingtian's words. "You joined the Simplicity Celestial Sect through the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm. No matter how high your innate talent is, you won't be a threat to those people.
"Only the monstrous geniuses of the Simplicity Celestial Sect who were nurtured from a young age would be able to become a thorn in their side. After all, only the monstrous geniuses of the Simplicity Celestial Sect would be able to help the Simplicity Celestial Sect rise to a higher level."
For a genius like you who joined the Simplicity Celestial Sect halfway, even if you're fated to join the Simplicity Celestial Sect and thank us for taking care of you during your time in the Simplicity Celestial Sect, the most they'll do is to help the Simplicity Celestial Sect a little in the future. They won't do anything to help the Simplicity Celestial Sect wholeheartedly. "
Sun Liang Peng's words were clear to Duan Lingtian.
He would not be targeted and assassinated like the former genius of the Simplicity Celestial Sect.
"That's good."
Duan Ling Tian nodded, and his heart that was in his throat eased up slightly.
Although he had a consumable Royal Grade Celestial Weapon that could be used twice, he was not afraid of a Five Elements Celestial King.
However, if a Five Elements Celestial King assassin were to assassinate him, he would not be able to use his consumable Royal Grade Celestial Weapon even if he had it with him.
At that time, he would definitely die.
"Now that you've become a true disciple of the Simplicity Celestial Sect, you'll be able to enjoy the best treatment in the sect. For example, you'll be able to obtain King Grade Celestial Methods, Divine Abilities, and the like from the top floor of the Simplicity Celestial Sect. All you have to do is show your true disciple identity token.
Apart from that, a true disciple can also … "
As Sun Liang Peng continued to speak, Duan Lingtian gained a better understanding of the true disciples of the Simplicity Celestial Sect. He knew this identity was very convenient and had many benefits.
In fact, the benefits of being a true disciple of the Simplicity Celestial Sect were much better than being a direct disciple of the Sect Leader of the Simplicity Celestial Sect. For example, Zheng Hong Yi whom Duan Lingtian had met earlier.
Although true disciples had a lot of privileges in the Simplicity Celestial Sect, there were still many things that they had to strive for on their own.
'Vice Sect Leader Zhang only promised me the benefits of being a direct disciple of the Sect Leader of the Simplicity Celestial Sect. Now that I've become a true disciple, I owe the Sect Leader of the Simplicity Celestial Sect a favor.'
Duan Lingtian thought to himself as he looked at Sun Liang Peng.
"Duan Ling Tian, I'll send someone to register your identity. Now, I'll bring you to your residence in the Simplicity Celestial Sect as a true disciple before you go to the Profound Nether Mansion.
After a while, Sun Liang Peng bade farewell to Duan Lingtian and led Duan Lingtian north.
"Sect leader."
Duan Lingtian looked at Sun Liang Peng and said bluntly, "I have a friend who's staying in the palace of the Supporting Fall Nation in the Thousand Nations Territory. I wonder if you can arrange for someone to pick him up?"
"Of course."
Sun Liang Peng replied without any hesitation. Then, he smiled at Duan Lingtian and said, "Once I've arranged everything for you, I'll look for my second brother and ask him to personally go to the Thousand Nations Territory to pick your friend up.
My second brother specializes in the law of wind. Even if it's the farthest place in the Thousand Nations Territory, he'll be able to make a round trip in three days. "
Sun Liang Peng continued to say.
"He'll be able to make a round trip in three days from the Simplicity Celestial Sect's estate?"
Duan Lingtian was taken aback by Sun Liang Peng's words.
Even ordinary Five Elements Celestial Kings and Six Combos Celestial Kings would not be able to travel at such a speed, right?
Based on Duan Lingtian's knowledge, the strongest grade-seven forces like the Simplicity Celestial Sect were Six Combos Celestial Kings and Seven Stars Celestial Kings. Only a few grade-seven forces had Eight Trigrams Celestial Kings.
"Sect leader, you can just send someone to pick him up. There's no need to make a big fuss."
Duan Lingtian smiled wryly.
The person he had asked Sun Liang Peng to pick up was none other than Liu Guang Lin, who was currently in the Supporting Fall Nation's imperial palace. Liu Guang Lin had not followed Sun Liang Peng to the Scaling Cloud Lake in the lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm.
Earlier, Sun Liang Peng had used a Communication Celestial Talisman to ask Liu Guang Lin if he wanted to stay in the Supporting Fall Nation or come to the Simplicity Celestial Sect.
Without any hesitation, Liu Guang Lin had said he would follow Sun Liang Peng to the Simplicity Celestial Sect.
"Since my second brother has nothing to do, it's better for him to move around a bit."
Sun Liang Peng smiled.
"Sect Master, that second brother of yours … I wonder which elder in the sect he is?"
During Duan Ling Tian's journey to the Simplicity Celestial Sect, Zhang Guang Zheng, the Vice Sect Leader of the Simplicity Celestial Sect, had mentioned many elders in the sect. However, Zhang Guang Zheng had never mentioned that the Sect Leader of the Simplicity Celestial Sect had a second brother.
'Perhaps, he's an elder in the Simplicity Celestial Sect?'
Duan Lingtian thought to himself.
"My second brother isn't an elder in the sect."
Sun Liang Peng shook his head and smiled when he heard Duan Lingtian's words. "In fact, he's not even a human. He's a Celestial Beast. Usually, he cultivates on Solitary Night Peak and rarely leaves it."
As Sun Liang Peng spoke, he looked at a mountain in the distance.
