Huo Lao.
He was the artifact spirit of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda.
Previously, when Duan Ling Tian was still in the Saint Province Realm, he had thought Huo Lao and the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda had perished to save him.
However, later on, after he gained a deeper understanding of the Celestial Artifact, he found out that not only was the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda not so easily destroyed, but even Elder Huo would not die so easily.
For this reason, the disappearance of Huo Lao and the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda had gradually become a mystery to him.
If he could, he naturally wished that Elder Huo was still alive.
To him, Elder Huo was a respectable elder. He had helped him a lot during his growth and had even saved his life several times.
"Huo Lao is in the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven?"
Duan Lingtian found it difficult to understand. Even if Huo Lao was still alive, why would he be in a Devata Realm? Why would he be in the Solitary Destructive Heaven? Moreover, why was he in the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven?
"Yes."
Initially, Duan Ling Tian thought the Elder Huo Meng Luo mentioned was someone else. However, when Meng Luo spoke, he was certain the Elder Huo Meng Luo mentioned was the Elder Huo he had met before.
"I've already sent a message to Huo Lao … Huo Lao is currently on his way here," Meng Luo said.
Duan Lingtian nodded.
As soon as Meng Luo finished speaking, a scorching aura surged toward Duan Lingtian. In just a blink of an eye, the silhouette of a huge Golden Crow appeared and transformed into an old figure.
The old figure was an old man dressed in a fiery red robe.
Although they had not seen each other for 300 years, Duan Lingtian recognized the old man as Huo Lao, the pagoda spirit of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda.
"Huo … Huo Lao."
After so many years, seeing Huo Lao again, Duan Lingtian was so excited that his body trembled, and a glimmer of light involuntarily appeared in his eyes.
Although he had long guessed that Huo Lao was not dead, he had a completely different feeling when he saw Huo Lao with his own eyes.
Huo Lao was standing right in front of him.
"Ling Tian brat … I really didn't expect that in a short three hundred years, you would have already grown to such an extent."
Seeing Duan Lingtian again, Huo Lao's cloudy eyes lit up. He was just as excited.
Before it came into contact with Duan Lingtian, it had never spent so much time with anyone.
Therefore, to a certain extent, he had long regarded Duan Lingtian as his family.
Many years ago, Kuang Ling, the sword soul of the Solitary Destructive Flaming Heavenly Sword, sent by the Heavenly Emperor of the Solitary Destructive Heaven, had brought him away from the mundane realm. When he arrived at the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven, he was worried about Duan Lingtian.
In the beginning, everything was fine.
However, when the Heavenly Emperor of the Solitary Destructive Heaven was forced to enter the Asura Hell, one of the seven deadliest places in the Devata Realms, Kuang Ling, the sword soul of the Solitary Destructive Flaming Heavenly Sword, died, and the Heavenly Emperor of the Solitary Destructive Heaven was replaced.
At that time, Duan Lingtian was no longer under the surveillance of Feng Qingyang, the Heavenly Emperor of the Solitary Destructive Heaven. Naturally, he did not know about Duan Lingtian's situation.
Since he could not see Duan Lingtian, he was naturally worried.
"Huo Lao, you're finally out!"
Duan Lingtian took a deep breath to calm himself down before he congratulated Huo Lao with a smile on his face. "Congratulations, Huo Lao."
Previously, when Huo Lao was trapped in the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, Duan Lingtian had told Huo Lao that he would return Huo Lao's freedom after he repaired the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda.
Later on, Elder Huo and the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda disappeared together, and this matter was left unsettled.
After 300 years, Duan Lingtian could not help but sigh when he saw Huo Lao had left the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda.
Duan Lingtian's promise to Huo Lao was still fresh in his mind.
300 years had passed in just a blink of an eye.
"It's all thanks to Lord Heavenly Emperor."
Huo Lao said with a smile, "Of course, it's all thanks to you as well."
"Huo Lao, is your disappearance related to Senior Feng Qingyang as well?"
Duan Lingtian asked curiously.
He was still very curious about Elder Huo's disappearance back then. Even though he had some guesses now, he still couldn't help but want to know what happened from Elder Huo.
"That's right."
Huo Lao nodded. "Back then, it was Lord Heavenly Emperor who sent Kuang Ling, the sword soul of his Divine Weapon, the Solitary Destructive Flaming Heavenly Sword, to the mundane realm to take me away.
"Lord Celestial Emperor's original intention was not for my existence to interfere with your growth."
With me around, you'll be under less pressure. He hoped you'd be able to bear more pressure and grow in adversity. Only then will you be able to attain the great dao. "
Huo Lao briefly explained what had happened back then.
"As expected."
Duan Lingtian's eyes glinted. This was exactly as he had expected. He could not help but feel excited. So, Senior Feng Qingyang had been paying attention to him when he was still in the mundane realm?
After taking a deep breath, Duan Lingtian introduced Huan 'er and Little Gold to Huo Lao.
"Divine Beasts?"
Huo Lao looked at Huan 'er and Little Gold before he gasped when he realized the two young women were Divine Beasts.
Although he was a Three-legged Golden Crow, he was only a peak Immortal Beast. He was not far from becoming a Divine Beast.
However, he might never be able to surpass this gap.
"Senior Meng Luo."
Duan Lingtian looked at Meng Luo and asked curiously, "Senior Feng Qingyang told me that you and Senior Feng Qingyang left Solitary Destructive Heaven together. Now that you're back, Senior Feng Qingyang should be back as well, right?"
"No." Meng Luo shook his head.
"Lord Heavenly Emperor sent me out of Asura Hell ahead of time because I couldn't withstand the pressure there.
Lord Heavenly Emperor's law avatars are currently in there as well. They're trying to rescue his true body. "
He could not help but sigh when he reached the end of his sentence.
"Asura Hell?"
Duan Lingtian's expression changed drastically. "Senior Feng Qingyang hasn't come out of Asura Hell? Didn't he come out and kill the successor of the Heavenly Emperor of the Solitary Destructive Heaven and reclaim his position? "
"Only one of Lord Heavenly Emperor's law of earth avatars returned."
Meng Luo shook his head.
"It seems like Senior Feng Qingyang has really ascended to godhood."
Duan Lingtian muttered to himself. Then, he looked at Meng Luo and asked, "Senior Meng Luo, Senior Feng Qingyang has already ascended to godhood, but he still can't come out of Asura Hell?"
"It's very difficult."
Meng Luo sighed and said, "Lord Heavenly Emperor has tried many times over the years, but he's still lacking. However, this time, Lord Heavenly Emperor should be able to rescue his true body in one go.
After all, Lord Heavenly Emperor has entered Asura Hell many times, so he knows the place like the back of his hand. That's why he brought me in so that I can use the law of death and the law of destruction in Asura Hell to further comprehend the two profundities. "
After listening to Meng Luo's words, Duan Lingtian realized Meng Luo was skilled in the law of death and the law of destruction.
Naturally, Duan Lingtian was disappointed to learn that Feng Qingyang, the Heavenly Emperor of the Solitary Destructive Heaven, had yet to come out of Asura Hell. After all, he had come to the Solitary Destructive Heaven in hopes of meeting Senior Feng Qingyang.
In the depths of his heart, he only recognized Feng Qing Yang as his master.
"After I came out of Asura Hell, I returned to the Solitary Destructive Heaven. I heard from my younger brother that you were here so I asked him to bring you here."
Based on Meng Luo's words, it was clear Meng Luo had just returned to the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven.
"Ling Tian, although Lord Heavenly Emperor hasn't returned yet, according to Meng Luo, he'll be back soon. You should cultivate well in the Heavenly Palace and wait for him to return."
Huo Lao suggested with a smile on his face.
"Moreover, as Lord Heavenly Emperor's only true disciple, you'll enjoy the best resources in the Heavenly Palace. It's better for you to cultivate here than outside."
Huo Lao added.
"That's right."
Meng Luo nodded. "Young master, you can cultivate in the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven. If you need anything, just say the word, and the Heavenly Palace will do its best to fulfill your request."
From the beginning until the end, Meng Luo was very respectful to Duan Lingtian. This made Duan Lingtian realize how loyal Meng Luo was to Feng Qingyang.
"Alright."
Duan Lingtian nodded. "I'll stay in the Heavenly Palace and wait for Senior Feng Qingyang's return."
Meng Luo arranged a place for Duan Ling Tian and the other two to cultivate. It was not far away from Elder Huo's cultivation place, and it was not far from his own cultivation place as well.
"Now, I'll focus on my cultivation and become a Celestial Emperor.
After all, only after I become a Celestial Emperor can I further comprehend the law of space's fused profundities with the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity. "
Breaking through to become a Celestial Emperor was a top priority for Duan Lingtian.
Naturally, it was the same for Huan 'er as well.
…
In the Divine Offering Land.
In the Xia Clan.
"Qing Yan, the Xia Clan will give you an explanation when Xia Jie returns."
Xia Ye, the Clan Leader of the Xia Clan, sat at the head of the table in the main hall of the Xia Clan's estate.
The young man was dressed in a long green robe. He was handsome and had a hint of wickedness in his eyes. Upon hearing Xia Yu's words, he smiled faintly and said, "Uncle, you must be joking. Since the Third Master has released those people, let them go.
After 700 years, the spatial tunnel from the Divine Offering Land to the Devata Realms will reopen. At that time, I'll send people to capture them if I need them. "
"I came here this time mainly to say hello to you, Uncle … I want to send someone to bring my cousin back from the Planar Battlefield."
It's too dangerous in there. "
The green-clad young man was none other than Yun Qing Yan, the Great Young Master of the Yun Clan in the Divine Offering Land.
"The Realm Battlefield is too big. Looking for that girl is like looking for a needle in a haystack. I've already sent many people to the Realm Battlefield to look for her."
When she heard Yun Qingyan mention her daughter, Xiaye's expression turned gloomy as if she was about to cry.
"There's strength in numbers."
Yun Qing Yan smiled.
"Qing Yan, you came to look for me because of this?"
Xia Ye asked.
"There's one more thing."
Yun Qing Yan's eyes flashed as he said, "I don't think my cousin is aware that the Third Master has sent those people away. We can't communicate in the Realm Battlefield.
I want to find her and bring her back to the Yun Clan before she learns about this. "
"Please allow me to do so, uncle."
