After the third round of the Devata Realm Battle of the Geniuses ended, the participants would rest for a month before the fourth round of the Devata Realm Battle of the Geniuses began.
In the fourth round of the Devata Realm Battle of the Geniuses, the top 100 participants would be determined from the top 300 participants.
However, even those who ranked in the top 100 of the Devata Realms' Genius Battle were not allowed to enter the secret room. Only those who ranked in the top 30 of the Devata Realms' Genius Battle were allowed to enter the secret room.
Naturally, those who ranked in the top 100 would still be rewarded by the Title Temple. At the very least, those who ranked in the top 100 would receive better rewards than those who ranked in the 101st to 300th places.
The top 30 of the Devata Realms' Genius Battle would be decided in the fifth round.
The top 10 participants would be determined in the sixth round.
The top 10 participants would be determined in the seventh round.
There were seven rounds in every Devata Realm Battle of the Geniuses. As time went on, the participants would progress faster since there would be fewer and fewer participants.
Unlike now, there were a total of 300 people who had advanced to the third round.
Many of them were injured in the third round so they needed time to recuperate. For this reason, Xu Konghai, the Vice Palace Master of the Main Hall of the Title Temple, who was in charge of the Devata Realm Battle of the Geniuses, gave them a month to recuperate.
After the third round ended, the participants left one after another.
Although Feng Qing Yang did not allow Duan Ling Tian to stay behind, Duan Ling Tian still decided to stay behind. After informing Su Li and Ling Jue Yun, he asked them to return first before he went to look for Feng Qing Yang.
Since Duan Lingtian had sent a Voice Transmission to Feng Qingyang, Feng Qingyang did not leave with Ding Fu, the Heavenly Emperor of the Primeval Heaven. Instead, he waited for Duan Lingtian to leave with him.
"Master, Xu Konghai, the Vice Palace Master of the Main Hall of the Title Temple, asked me to share your Destruction Sword Dao with the Title Temple."
Duan Lingtian thought about it for a moment. Although he felt it was a sensitive topic, he still told Feng Qingyang about it.
To him, he wouldn't be where he was today without Feng Qingyang.
No one knew what hidden dangers were behind this matter, so it was better to say it out loud.
However, what surprised Duan Lingtian was that after hearing his sound transmission, Feng Qingyang's expression was still extremely calm, as if he was not surprised at all. "What did he promise you?"
"He promised me that the Title Temple's Secret Chamber of Laws will be open to me at the same time as the Vice Hall Masters of the Main Hall and above.
Duan Lingtian said.
"That's really generous of him."
A faint smile appeared on Feng Qingyang's calm face.
"Master, you … don't seem surprised at all?"
Duan Lingtian asked curiously.
"There's nothing to be surprised about."
Feng Qingyang shook his head and said, "If this was before I entered the Asura Hell, one of the seven deadliest places in the Devata Realms, I might've been surprised. However, after entering the Asura Hell, I've gained a deeper understanding of the Title Temple."
"Hm?"
Duan Lingtian looked at Feng Qingyang in confusion. He did not know what Feng Qingyang meant.
"Let's talk at my place."
As Feng Qingyang spoke, he led Duan Lingtian to the residence the Heavenly Palace of the Primeval Heaven had arranged for him. It was a courtyard located halfway up a mountain in a secluded valley. It was very quiet, and only the faint chirping of birds could be heard.
After a while, Duan Lingtian sat across from Feng Qingyang at the stone table in the courtyard and looked at him quietly.
"I'm sure you've already guessed that I had a fortuitous encounter in the Asura Hell. The place where I had my fortuitous encounter happened to contain the last words of someone who had just comprehended his Dao."
Upon hearing Feng Qingyang's words, Duan Lingtian's heart skipped a beat. The Asura Hell was indeed dangerous. Even someone who had just comprehended his Dao had perished there.
Duan Lingtian wondered what the person's cultivation base was.
If the person was a Demigod, or a Nine Star God of War, then the Asura Hell was too terrifying.
"He said he was chased into the Asura Hell by the Gods of the Title Temple."
Feng Qingyang continued to say, "In fact, the Gods were different from the person who chased after me in the past. That person was only a Demigod. He only dared to chase after me outside the Asura Hell. He didn't dare to enter the Asura Hell.
However, the Gods of the Title Temple chased after me in the Asura Hell. They even searched for me outside the Asura Hell.
"What the Title Temple wants to do is to control that person and force him to hand over the Dao he has mastered."
"Since then, I've known that the Title Temple covets the Dao that others have comprehended. They want to obtain it so that they can use it as a foundation to comprehend their own Dao.
Upon hearing Feng Qingyang's words, Duan Lingtian finally understood why his master was so indifferent.
As it turned out, his master had long known that the Title Temple coveted Dao.
At the same time, Feng Qingyang continued to say, "Normally, Dao belongs to a person. Even if the same Dao is imparted to another person, that person won't be able to surpass the person who imparted it. At most, that person can only comprehend their own Dao based on the Dao.
It's just like the Space Sword Dao that you're cultivating now.
"Your Space Sword Dao has traces of my Destruction Sword Dao. Those who have seen me fight today, or those who have seen me fight through the Floating Image Pearl, will be able to tell."
Naturally, they can also see that you've comprehended your own Dao based on my Dao.
Moreover, you've only just grasped it.
In fact, even the Destruction Sword Dao that I've mastered isn't as attractive as your Space Sword Dao in their eyes, "Duan Ling Tian said with a hint of disbelief in Duan Ling Tian's eyes.
I've comprehended my Dao on my own, and it's very mature. It's very difficult to replicate it.
On the other hand, since your Dao is based on my Dao, it's only in its infancy. It's much easier for you to replicate it. For this reason, the Title Temple isn't interested in my Destruction Sword Dao, but your Space Sword Dao.
"To be more precise, they are interested in the Space Sword Principle that you have comprehended based on my Destruction Sword Principle."
If your Space Sword Dao is as mature as my Destruction Sword Dao, it won't be as tempting to the Title Temple as it is now. "
Duan Lingtian broke out in cold sweat when he heard Feng Qingyang's words.
He had thought the Vice Temple Master of the Title Temple, Xu Konghai, was interested in his master Feng Qingyang's Destruction Sword Dao. He did not expect Xu Konghai to be interested in his Space Sword Dao instead. Moreover, Xu Konghai did not even warn him.
Although Duan Lingtian knew he would not betray his master, he could not help but break out in cold sweat when he thought about the consequences of betraying his master.
At that time, not only would his master betray him, but the Title Temple would not let him off so easily as well. After all, they coveted his Space Sword Dao. Without his master, Feng Qing Yang, as his backer, it was easy to imagine how he would fare if he fell into the hands of the Title Temple.
"The Title Temple won't give up on you so easily."
Feng Qingyang raised an eyebrow slightly. "If you're able to enter the Law Chamber, I'll personally accompany you. If you go alone, you might not be able to return.
At that time, they'll be able to imprison you and torture you to force you to share your Space Sword Dao.
If you're unwilling to share your Space Sword Dao, they won't let you off easily even if they don't kill you. "
Feng Qingyang glanced at Duan Lingtian as he said, "Once they obtain the Space Sword Dao, they'll immediately kill you and spread the news that you've spread my Destruction Sword Dao to the outside world, and the Title Temple will clean up the mess for me.
Then, they'll push out someone who has mastered your Space Sword Dao and force him to display it in front of everyone to prove that they're not lying. "
In fact, Duan Lingtian had already thought about what Feng Qingyang had said. He was so frightened that he broke out in cold sweat.
"The Title Temple … How could they do such a thing?"
Duan Lingtian's eyes flashed fiercely.
"What do you think a force has relied on since it first existed in the Devata Realms? If they were merciful, they wouldn't have survived until now. "
Feng Qingyang said.
Duan Lingtian nodded. Based on his knowledge, the Title Temple had the longest history in all the Devata Realms. It was comparable to the history of the Devata Realms.
In all the Devata Realms, there was no force that could compare with the Title Temple in terms of history.
There is a saying that says it well:
The history of the Title Temple was the history of the Devata Realms.
This was not a lie.
"This time, the Title Temple must have nurtured a young prodigy who's quite strong. Since the Title Temple is willing to share the Exploding Element Celestial Fruit with you, it means he's at least a Six Star God of War."
Feng Qingyang changed the topic and mentioned the young prodigy who was given the Exploding Element Celestial Fruit by the Title Temple.
However, I don't know who he is.
After all, up until now, apart from you, Ling Jueyun, and a few others, very few people have displayed the strength of a Three Star God of War during the Battle of Geniuses.
Even Yu Dong Fang, the third true disciple of the Heavenly Emperor of the Xuan Yuan Heaven, has only displayed the strength of a Two Star God of War. Naturally, he's a famous young prodigy in all the Devata Realms. He's suspected to be at least a Four Star God of War.
"I mentioned him mainly because … many people have only revealed the tip of the iceberg of their true strength."
Although you're strong, you can't be careless. Otherwise, you might fail miserably. "
When Feng Qing Yang reached the end of his sentence, he began to advise Duan Ling Tian earnestly. He was confident in his disciple, but he was worried that Duan Ling Tian would be careless and suffer a loss.
"I understand, master."
Duan Lingtian nodded solemnly. He felt as though his blood was boiling at this moment.
A young prodigy from the Title Temple who was suspected to be a Six Star God of War?
