"Don't worry, Huan 'er. Your mother will be fine."
After Zhuge Feng and Zhuge Yun left, Duan Lingtian brought Huan 'er back to Ganjiang Peak. He comforted her as they walked up the steps leading to the entrance of Ganjiang Peak.
"Brother Ling Tian, do you think anything will happen to my father?"
In the past, Huan 'er only knew she had a mother and did not know about her father's existence. Now that she knew about her father, it was only natural for her to think more about it.
"I'm sure he'll be fine."
Duan Lingtian said with a smile, "It's just a matter of ruining an engagement. I don't think your father will have to pay with his life, right?
Perhaps, they'll just imprison your father and force him to face the wall in the Heavenly Pool Palace. "
Although Duan Ling Tian said so, he did not think so in his heart.
The Heavenly Pool Palace, a heaven-grade force, had the backing of the Boundless Heaven's Heavenly Emperor.
Otherwise, the Heavenly Sword Mountain from the Solitary Destructive Heaven would not have handed her father over to the Heavenly Pool Palace.
"Huan 'er, all you can do now is cultivate diligently and wait for news from the two Branch Masters.
If your father is really imprisoned, your mother might not be able to save him. At that time, we'll have to rely on you.
Naturally, Brother Ling Tian will help you as well. "
With Duan Lingtian's comforting words, Huan 'er calmed down. However, her eyes were filled with determination as she said, "Brother Ling Tian, I want to become stronger!"
All this while, she had never been obsessed with becoming stronger.
When Duan Lingtian was weaker than her, she was still motivated to become stronger because she thought she could help Duan Lingtian.
Ever since Duan Ling Tian's strength had surpassed her, she had more or less slacked off when it came to cultivation.
However, after learning about her parents' predicament, she became even more determined to cultivate.
"Alright, Brother Ling Tian will cultivate with you."
Before Zhuge Feng left, he had told Duan Lingtian that he could use any place on Ganjiang Peak as his training ground.
The entire Ganjiang Peak was empty because of Zhuge Feng's absence.
Because of this, the World Energy in Ganjiang Peak was much denser than the World Energy in Tai-Ah Peak.
In the end, Duan Lingtian discovered a dilapidated stone platform on one side of the cliff halfway up Ganjiang Peak.
Behind the stone platform was a cave. Inside the cave was a dusty abode. Clearly, it was a place where someone used to cultivate.
Because this place was secluded enough, Duan Lingtian had chosen this place to cultivate on Ganjiang Peak.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
…
Standing in the cave, Duan Lingtian casually waved his hand a few times. Suddenly, waves of wind swept out from his hand, rolling up all the dust in the cave and bringing it out of the cave.
In an instant, the originally dusty cave abode became clean and tidy.
"Let's cultivate here, Huan 'er."
After greeting Huan 'er, Duan Lingtian sat down on the stone bed in the cave. Huan' er sat beside him.
During cultivation, Duan Lingtian intentionally drew out the World Energy in his Little World. However, he only distributed it around him and Huan 'er.
Naturally, it was impossible for Duan Ling Tian to control this when he was cultivating.
For this reason, he asked the World Cleansing Divine Water for help.
In Duan Lingtian's Little World, the Divine Tree of Life that had transformed into a towering tree stood in the middle. Two Ning Dragons could be seen prostrating under the tree. They looked like they were sleeping, but in truth, they were cultivating.
Five rays of energy of different colors that resembled rays of sunlight could be seen swimming around the Divine Tree of Life. These were none other than the Five Divine Elements.
The Five Divine Elements in Duan Lingtian's Little World had evolved to the sixth form.
However, it was difficult for them to evolve to the seventh form with the World Energy from the ruins of Realms of Gods that had accumulated in Duan Lingtian's Little World.
If they wanted to break through again, there was only one way for them to do so, and that was to devour the other corresponding Divine Elements.
For example, the Profound Divine Metal could only devour Profound Divine Metal. The other Divine Elements were useless to it.
It was the same for the other four Divine Elements.
For this reason, Duan Lingtian did not have to worry about the Five Divine Elements fighting among themselves.
"Little Tian, I've spoken to them. They're willing to acknowledge you as their master. However, they want you to promise to return their freedom after you become a god."
Duan Lingtian's eyes lit up when he heard the World Cleansing Divine Water's words.
"Actually, after you become gods, they won't be of much use to you anymore … So, I think you can agree to them."
Duan Lingtian nodded.
"Of course!"
Duan Lingtian nodded.
Meanwhile, with the help of the World Cleansing Divine Water, Duan Lingtian successfully signed a master-servant contract with the two Ning Dragons in his Little World.
The two Ning Dragons were not the only ones who had to fulfill their promise. Even Duan Lingtian had to fulfill his promise and return their freedom after he became a god.
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
Although the two Ning Dragons greeted Duan Lingtian after they acknowledged him as their master, Duan Lingtian could not understand what they were saying.
However, this was not important.
More importantly, even though the Ning Dragon couldn't understand what he was saying, it was certain that the Ning Dragon wouldn't recognize the wrong person if he asked it to attack.
This was the most important thing to Duan Ling Tian. Nothing else mattered to him.
After dealing with the Ning Dragons, Duan Lingtian began to absorb the World Energy in his Little World to cultivate.
…
A year later, Zhuge Feng and Zhuge Yun returned.
"Senior, did you manage to find anything?"
Duan Ling Tian looked at Zhuge Yun and asked without beating around the bush when he saw them again.
Zhuge Yun glanced at Duan Lingtian before she looked at Duan Lingtian and said, "Huan 'er's father is still alive …"
Duan Ling Tian and Huan 'er's eyes lit up when they heard Zhuge Yun's words.
"That's good news. However, there's another piece of bad news. "
Duan Ling Tian and Huan 'er's expressions stiffened when they heard Zhuge Yun's words.
"Huan 'er's mother is also imprisoned by the Heavenly Pool Palace."
Zhuge Yun said.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Duan Ling Tian and Huan 'er's expressions changed drastically upon hearing this. This was indeed bad news for them.
In other words, Huan 'er's father and mother were currently imprisoned by the Heavenly Pool Palace in the Boundless Heaven.
"Senior, do you know what happened to them?"
Duan Lingtian asked Zhuge Yun. Although he did not think Huan 'er's parents would be a guest in the Heavenly Pool Palace, he did not think the Heavenly Pool Palace would treat them kindly.
"I don't know."
Zhuge Yun shook her head. "To find out more, we even paid a visit to the Grand Elder of the Heavenly Pool Palace in the name of the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect.
I tried to sound him out, but he refused to talk about it. It's clear he's wary of me. "
Zhuge Yun said, "However, based on the Grand Elder's tone, it's impossible for Huan 'er's parents to be treated well in the Heavenly Pool Palace."
Upon hearing Zhuge Yun's words, Huan 'er's expression changed drastically. A hint of worry could be seen in her beautiful eyes.
Upon hearing Zhuge Yun's words, Duan Lingtian's expression turned grim.
It seemed like even if Huan 'er's parents were still alive, they must have been tortured. He wondered how the Heavenly Pool Palace would deal with them.
"Brother Ling Tian, I want to join the Heavenly Pool Palace!"
Huan 'er said resolutely as she looked at Duan Lingtian.
"Huan 'er, we definitely want to join the Heavenly Pool Palace. However, we need to think about it carefully. Even the seniors don't know anything about the Heavenly Pool Palace, let alone us. "
Duan Lingtian said.
Upon hearing this, Huan 'er fell silent. She knew Duan Lingtian was right.
"If you really want to join the Heavenly Pool Palace, there's a chance. Every 1,000 years, the Heavenly Pool Palace will recruit new disciples. The next recruitment will be held in 12 years.
Anyone below the age of 1,000 who can pass the Heavenly Pool Palace's test will be able to join the Heavenly Pool Palace.
"People with different cultivation bases and ages will face different tests."
It won't be difficult for both of you to join the Heavenly Pool Palace, "Zhuge Yun said.
Huan 'er's eyes lit up.
"Join the Heavenly Pool Palace?"
Huan 'er's eyes lit up.
On the other hand, Duan Lingtian frowned slightly. Although he was tempted, he did not think it was a good idea to join the Heavenly Pool Palace since they had just joined the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect.
Upon seeing Duan Lingtian's hesitation, Zhuge Feng looked at Duan Lingtian approvingly. Zhuge Yun said with a smile, "Duan Lingtian, you're not joining the Heavenly Pool Palace. You're only here to investigate Huan 'er's parents.
You're still a disciple of the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect. The Gan Jiang Progeny and Mo Xie Progeny will always welcome you back. "
Zhuge Yun said.
"Thank you, senior."
Duan Lingtian had no choice but to accept Zhuge Yun's kindness.
"Thank you, Progeny Leader."
Huan 'er looked at Zhuge Yun solemnly and said, "I'll always be a member of the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect's Mo Xie Progeny … This will never change."
"Me too."
Duan Lingtian nodded. Although he had not been in the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect for a long time, he still treated the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect as his home because of Zhuge Feng and Zhuge Yun.
A home that he could return to at any time.
"Go on."
Zhuge Yun casually tossed a Spatial Ring to Duan Lingtian. Then, she waved her hand and said, "On our way back, we've decided to send you to the Heavenly Pool Palace in the Boundless Heaven. The things in this Spatial Ring will be useful to you."
After Duan Lingtian claimed ownership of the Spatial Ring, he saw more than ten Celestial Talismans in it. His expression turned grave immediately.
The Celestial Talismans given by Zhuge Yun were not ordinary Celestial Talismans.
"The Heavenly Pool Palace is located in the Boundless Territory in the Boundless Heaven … Once you arrive at the Transporting Formation, you can head straight to the Heavenly Pool Palace. The Heavenly Pool Palace covers a huge area. Once you're there, you can ask for directions to the Heavenly Pool Palace's estate.
