"He's not even 100 years old, but he has comprehended two profundities from the law of earth?"
In a vast city in the Southern Heaven Territory, a young man was sitting in front of a table in the front courtyard of a luxurious mansion. He was sipping tea when he subconsciously tightened his grip on the cup and shattered it.
"What's wrong, Chen Li?"
Another young man sitting on the opposite side of the table looked at the young man who had shattered the cup and asked with a puzzled expression.
"It's nothing … I just received a Voice Transmission from someone from a grade-seven sect whom I met on the way to the Profound Nether Mansion.
The young man who crushed the cup was Chen Li. He was the illegitimate son of one of the vice leaders of the Blood Skull Gang.
Right now, the person sitting opposite Chen Li was a friend of his. His temperament was extraordinary, and he was clearly not an ordinary person.
Chen Li was a young man dressed in a brocade robe with silver embroidery. His face was slightly pale, and his body was thin. It was as though his body had been drained by wine and women.
However, Chen Li was not one for wine and women.
The reason he was like this was due to his innate malnutrition.
Back then, his mother had been on the run while she was pregnant with him. His father's wife had sent people to hunt her down. She had almost died. Although she was lucky enough to give birth to him, he was frail and sickly.
Due to this, his father had felt guilty toward him. For this reason, he had taken good care of him.
In fact, the reason his father treated him so well was entirely because his father had no other sons other than him. The rest were all daughters!
Chen Li had nine elder sisters and thirteen younger sisters.
He was his father's only son. For this reason, his father had spent a lot of effort to find Great Nourishing Celestial Pills for him even though he was born with poor physical conditions.
At this time, it was useless for him to improve.
For this reason, his innate talent and comprehension ability were only average. He was at the bottom among his sisters.
However, it was precisely because he was his father's only son that he was able to enjoy treatment that far surpassed that of his elder and younger sisters.
"Who are you killing?"
The young man sitting opposite Chen Li asked.
This young man was dressed in a long white robe. He had a handsome appearance and held a folding fan in his hand. He was elegant and had an outstanding temperament. There was always a smile on his face, making people feel as if they were bathed in a spring breeze.
Sitting together with the pale-faced Chen Li, they seemed to form two extremes.
"For you to lose your composure like this … Could it be that the person you want to kill isn't simple?"
The scholarly young man asked.
"He's a peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial who has comprehended two profundities from the law of earth even though he's not even 100 years old … He stood out in the Profound Nether Mansion's Southern Tianxia Territory and ranked second on the scoreboard. After that, he joined the Simplicity Celestial Sect.
If I'm not mistaken, the person who sent me the message is Zheng Hong Yi. He's the third direct disciple of the Sect Leader of the Simplicity Celestial Sect.
"I can't believe he actually wants to hire someone from the Blood Skull to kill that person. That person must have offended his interests … The only reason he wants the Blood Skull's assassins to kill him is because he doesn't want to leave any evidence behind."
If Zheng Hong Yi were here, he would have been shocked to hear Chen Li's words. After all, Chen Li knew what Zheng Hong Yi was thinking.
"He's not even 100 years old, but he's already a peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial who has comprehended two profundities from the law of earth. Moreover, he's also a sectless cultivator.
He's really talented, "Chen Li muttered to himself as he lowered his voice.
At the same time, a hint of jealousy flashed in the depths of his eyes. He, Chen Li, was jealous of those with high innate talent and high comprehension ability.
After all, his innate talent and comprehension ability were only average.
"A peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial who has comprehended two profundities from the law of earth even though he's not even 100 years old? Moreover, he's also a sectless cultivator? "
The scholarly young man was slightly surprised when he heard Chen Li's words. "Even grade-six Celestial Mansions can produce such geniuses?"
Even among the Ten Great Clans and Five Great Sects in the Southern Heaven Territory, it was rare to see someone with such achievements before the age of 100. It could even be said that he was as rare as a phoenix feather or a qilin horn.
"What did you say to him?"
The scholarly young man asked.
"I promised him that I'll return the favor … I'll accept this job on behalf of the Blood Skull Gang."
Chen Li replied.
"It's best to be careful and investigate that person's background. I have a feeling that someone with such innate talent and comprehension ability is unlikely to be a sectless cultivator," the scholarly young man said.
Chen Li nodded.
Chen Li was one of his few friends, so he naturally didn't wish for Chen Li to provoke someone he couldn't afford to provoke and draw fire onto himself.
Moreover, it was unnecessary for Chen Li to offend someone from a grade-seven sect.
"Don't worry."
Chen Li forced a smile on his pale face. "Don't you know the Blood Skull Gang's intelligence department? As long as he has a strong background, we'll be able to dig it out for him.
Once we're certain he has an extraordinary background, it won't be difficult for us to deal with him.
Chen Li said.
Although the Blood Skull Gang was notorious in the Southern Heaven Territory, there were still some people they did not dare to offend.
For example, those who were close to the Southern Heaven Celestial Lord who ruled the Southern Heaven Territory.
For example, those who were important disciples of the Ten Major Clans and Five Major Sects.
In the Southern Heaven Territory, grade-six Celestial Mansions and grade-six forces were grade-five forces.
There were only fifteen grade-five forces in the Southern Heaven Territory. They were known as the Ten Major Clans and Five Major Sects. They were the strongest forces in the Southern Heaven Territory.
"That's good."
Upon hearing Chen Li's words, the scholarly young man nodded. His slightly furrowed brows relaxed.
He was well aware of the Blood Skull Gang's intelligence department. It was one of the best in the Southern Heaven Territory.
Even his sect's intelligence network might not be as strong as the Blood Skull Gang's.
After all, the Blood Skull Gang was an organization of assassins.
"When do you plan to return?"
Chen Li asked as he looked at the scholarly young man.
"I'll leave tomorrow … I've been out for a while now, so it's time for me to return. If you're free, you can come and look for me at any time. "
The scholarly young man smiled.
"I will … After all, you're my only friend."
A smile appeared on Chen Li's face, which was as pale as a sheet of paper.
If there was anyone in this world with good talent and high comprehension ability that he was not jealous of, it would probably be the person in front of him.
Chen Li was his only friend.
As soon as Chen Li finished speaking, the scholarly young man sighed inwardly.
If there was anyone in this world who knew Chen Li the best, it would be him and Chen Li's late mother.
"You're also my best friend … Forever."
The scholarly young man stood up and placed a hand on Chen Li's shoulder as he said with a smile on his face.
The smile on Chen Li's pale face grew wider and wider. In the end, it even seemed a little twisted and ferocious.
Naturally, he was genuinely happy and touched by Chen Li's words.
However, because his facial features were not very regular and his face was pale, when he really smiled, he would involuntarily become like this.
…
In the Simplicity Celestial Sect in the Profound Nether Mansion.
"This … is it?"
Duan Ling Tian stood on the square at the peak of a short mountain that seemed to have been flattened by a blade. He looked at the building in the middle of the square that was 70 to 80% similar to a tower, and his heart jolted slightly.
The building had a total of nine floors, and it belonged to the Simplicity Celestial Sect. There were various cultivation methods, Celestial Methods, and Divine Abilities stored in the building.
Apart from that, there were also books, Memory Celestial Talismans, and Floating Image Pearls that recorded the battles between Celestials.
Duan Lingtian's destination was the ninth floor of the Simplicity Celestial Sect. It was also the top floor of the Simplicity Celestial Sect.
The top floor contained the King Grade Celestial Methods, Divine Abilities, and the sect's most precious cultivation method, a King Grade Celestial Method.
The sect's most precious cultivation method could only be cultivated by the high-ranking officials and true disciples of the Simplicity Celestial Sect.
Only these people were allowed to enter the top floor.
There was only one door on the first floor. Therefore, if Duan Lingtian wanted to enter the top floor, he would have to slowly climb up from the first floor.
Two burly middle-aged Daoist priests stood at the entrance of the first floor. When they saw Duan Lingtian approaching, their eyes were cold as they stood in front of Duan Lingtian, blocking his path.
There were two floors in the Simplicity Celestial Sect. One was the outer court while the other was the inner court.
If one wanted to enter the inner court, one had to show one's identity token as an inner court disciple.
This was to prevent outer court disciples from sneaking into the inner court.
Although Duan Lingtian did not know one had to show one's identity token to enter the inner court, he still took out his identity token when he saw the two guards blocking his path.
"True disciple?!"
The two middle-aged Daoist priests widened their eyes in shock when they saw Duan Lingtian's identity token. Then, they quickly made way for Duan Lingtian.
"So you're the genius who was appointed as a true disciple by the sect leader as soon as you joined the sect."
One of the middle-aged Daoist priests looked at Duan Lingtian with an expression that said, "I've heard a lot about you."
The other middle-aged Daoist priest did not say anything. However, his eyes shone with passion as he looked at Duan Lingtian.
Duan Lingtian smiled faintly at the two middle-aged Daoist priests before he entered the inner court.
The few inner disciples behind him who were preparing to enter also stared blankly at his back as he walked away. They did not expect that the person standing in front of them just now was the genius disciple who had just entered the sect half a month ago, who had been the talk of the town for the past half a month.
"I heard Duan Lingtian is a peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial before he's even 100 years old. Moreover, he has comprehended two profundities from the law of earth!"
"It's hard to imagine such a monstrous genius would appear in the Profound Nether Mansion."
"The most shocking thing is he's a sectless cultivator!"
