The Divine Offering Land was one of the Realms of Gods.
The Xia Clan was one of the top clans in the Divine Offering Land. It was famous in the Divine Offering Land. It was one of the most prestigious clans in the Divine Offering Land.
In such a family, the family rules were strict and everything was in order.
If one were to talk about the biggest change in the Xia family in recent years, it would be none other than their eldest daughter, Xia Xuening. First, she died to prove her sincerity. Then, she reincarnated and had a man. She even brought back a daughter.
This matter caused a huge commotion in the Xia Clan.
"Do you think the Eldest Miss will be able to come out of the Realm Battlefield alive?"
In a corner of the Xia Clan's mansion, many collateral disciples of the Xia Clan had gathered. They were discussing the Eldest Miss of the Xia Clan's direct line of descent. She was the pride of the Xia Clan.
"Nobody dares to say. After all, the Realm Battlefield is a training ground created by a supreme powerhouse. Even the strongest person would be in danger of dying if they entered it, let alone the Eldest Miss."
"I didn't expect the Eldest Miss to enter the Realm Battlefield. It's said that the Eldest Miss entered the Realm Battlefield to oppose the Clan Leader. She would rather die than marry the Young Master of the Yun Clan."
"I've heard about this as well. The Eldest Miss didn't die to prove her sincerity like she did in her past life because of her daughter and her relatives in the mundane world."
…
Based on the conversation between the collateral disciples of the Xia Clan, it was clear they knew a lot.
"The Third Master is still imprisoned in the clan's inner court. It's said that he tried to escape several times but was stopped every time."
A collateral disciple of the Xia Clan suddenly brought up this topic.
"This time, the Third Master has really angered the Clan Leader."
"Letting those people go is equivalent to eliminating the Eldest Miss' worries. If the Eldest Miss finds out about this, she might not even return to the clan in the future. It's normal for the Clan Leader to be angry. "
"It seems that three hundred years later, the marriage alliance between our Xia Family and the Yun Family is likely to fall through like that year."
"I really don't know what the Clan Leader is thinking. Since the Eldest Miss of this life already has a daughter, why is he forcing her to marry the Young Master of the Yun Clan? Can't he just fulfill her wish? "
"It's said that the Young Master of the Yun Clan is obsessed with marriage. If he doesn't marry the Eldest Miss, he won't be able to enter the God Emperor Stage in his lifetime!"
…
Xia Jie, the third master of the Xia Family, had been imprisoned by the head of the Xia Family, Xia Yu, ever since he released Li Fei, Li Rou, and Duan Rufeng. He was not allowed to go out and was also restricted from communicating with the outside world. He was deeply afraid that he would tell his daughter, Xia Ningxue, that he had released those people.
Xia Yu knew his daughter very well. If she found out about this, she would never return to the Xia Family!
He would not allow such a thing to happen.
"Third Brother, you've gone too far this time."
Every once in a while, Xia Yu, the head of the Xia Family, would come to look for Xia Jie. He would always frown when he saw Xia Jie's sloppy appearance.
Xia Yu shook his head as he looked at Xia Jie.
"Too much? I'm afraid he's not as overbearing as you, right? "
Xia Jie said calmly.
"Third Brother, let's change the topic."
Xia Yu said, "I must give Qingyan an explanation for this matter. You also know that those people you let go were handed over to the Xia Clan because Qing Yan trusted me. Now that they're gone, I have to give him an explanation no matter what. "
"Go ahead and give it to him then … Why are you looking for me?"
Xia Jie said exasperatedly as he rolled his eyes.
"Third Brother, a straightforward person doesn't resort to insinuations."
Xia Yu's expression suddenly turned solemn as he stared at Xia Jie. He said in a deep voice, "I know you've obtained a piece of Profound Divine Metal that's suspected to be a first-form Profound Divine Metal. The Yun Family has also recently obtained a piece of Profound Divine Metal that's suspected to be a first-form Profound Divine Metal.
Give me that piece of Profound Divine Metal. If it's really a piece of Profound Divine Metal, it'll merge with the piece of Profound Divine Metal in the Yun Family's possession. It'll transform into a second-form Profound Divine Metal and reveal its true form.
Third Brother, you must cooperate with me on this matter. "
A hint of warning could be heard in Xia Yu's voice when he spoke.
Xia Jie was stunned when he heard Xia Yu's words. Then, he could not help but laugh. Xia Yu frowned. "What are you laughing at? How can you still laugh at a time like this? "
"Big brother, the small piece of metal you mentioned that seems to be a piece of Profound Divine Metal was no longer with me seven hundred years ago."
Xia Jie shook his head.
"How's that possible?!"
Xia Yu was in disbelief. "You weren't willing when I asked you to study that piece of Profound Divine Metal. You treasure it as much as your life, but now you're telling me it's no longer with you?"
"Big Brother, you're right. I do treasure it a lot."
Xia Jie nodded. "My intuition tells me that it's a Profound Divine Metal! If I can merge it with another first-form Profound Divine Metal, it'll transform into a Profound Divine Metal's true form and begin the path of transformation.
If it continues to grow, I might even be able to become a Supreme-Being, let alone an Ultimate God. "
Xia Jie paused for a moment before a gentle look appeared in his eyes. "However, I gave it away to someone 700 years ago."
"Who?!"
Xia Yu asked in a low voice as he stared at Xia Jie. He wanted to find out who had taken the piece of Profound Divine Metal from Xia Jie so he could personally retrieve it.
"He's not from the Divine Offering Land or the Realms of Gods."
Xia Jie shook his head. "Big Brother, with your intelligence, it shouldn't be difficult for you to guess who I gave it to."
"He's not from the Divine Offering Land or the Realms of Gods?"
Xia Yu frowned when he heard Xia Jie's words. After a moment, his expression changed. Even his voice changed. "Don't tell me … you gave the piece of Profound Divine Metal to that young man named Duan Lingtian?"
Although Xia Yu had never met the man in his daughter's life, he knew his name.
Moreover, he knew his third brother had met the man and even scared off the Xia family's servant whom his nephew had sent to kill the man.
Now that he heard his third brother's words, he immediately knew who his third brother was talking about.
Only that person would be able to give away the piece of Profound Divine Metal that was suspected to be a first-form Profound Divine Metal.
"Big Brother, you're really smart. No wonder father appointed you as the next Clan Leader of the Xia family."
Xia Jie gave Xia Yu a thumbs-up.
"Stop flattering me!"
Xia Yu snapped. "You gave the piece of Profound Divine Metal to Duan Lingtian in hopes of paving the way for Duan Lingtian and giving him Duan Lingtian a chance to rise to power.
However, do you think a boy from the mundane realm who's weaker than a native from a Devata Realm would be of any help to him even if the metal piece is a first-form Profound Divine Metal? "
In my opinion, even if the Profound Divine Metal has a chance of gaining sentience, it'll leave him and look for another host!
Third brother, you're being silly. Giving the piece of Profound Divine Metal to him is no different from throwing it into the sea. It won't even cause a ripple. "
In the end, Xia Yu shook his head. He felt that his third brother was wasting his effort.
Naturally, it was not difficult for him to guess his third brother's thoughts.
He was hoping Duan Lingtian would be a good match for his daughter in the future. However, even if a young man from a mundane realm had the help of a Profound Divine Metal, it would be difficult for him to ascend to the Realms of Gods.
Perhaps, he would be killed by someone else who had the Profound Divine Metal.
"Big Brother, don't be so sure of yourself. I've met your son-in-law before. Even if he's from a mundane realm, he's not an ordinary person," Xia Jie said.
Xia Jie nodded.
Back then, he had given the piece of Profound Divine Metal to Duan Lingtian because he hoped the piece of Profound Divine Metal would change Duan Lingtian's fate.
With the Profound Divine Metal's help, Duan Lingtian's path in the Devata Realms would be smooth-sailing. It would not be difficult for him to ascend to the Realms of Gods in the future.
Naturally, he would have to face greater dangers in order to ascend to the Realms of Gods.
If the Profound Divine Metal was exposed, he would be in great danger.
"Third Brother, I know you're worried about that girl. However, there's no need for you to turn to any doctor in a desperate situation."
Xia Yu shook his head and said, "It's impossible for that young man from a mundane realm to ascend to the Realms of Gods.
He's destined to be inferior to Qing Yan for the rest of his life.
Some people's lives are predestined.
"It's not impossible to go against the heavens and change one's fate … However, it's hard to find even one person in a billion or a trillion people who can do that."
Based on Xia Yu's words, it was obvious he did not have high hopes for the man named Duan Ling Tian whom his daughter Xia Ning Xue had found in this life.
"No matter what, I still believe in him."
Xia Jie said in a deep voice.
Even now, Xia Jie still had hope in his heart as he thought about the purple figure in his mind. That young man gave him a very unusual feeling.
Otherwise, he would not have given the piece of Profound Divine Metal to Duan Lingtian in the first place.
He had done that in hopes of opening up a path to the heavens for Duan Lingtian.
At that time, in order to convince Duan Lingtian to accept the piece of Profound Divine Metal, he had even concealed the fact that the piece of Profound Divine Metal might be a first-form Profound Divine Metal. He had only said that it was a strange item that even he could not discover.
Up until now, Duan Ling Tian, the person involved, was still kept in the dark.
Even now, when he thought about the piece of Profound Divine Metal that Xia Jie had given him 700 years ago, he still thought Xia Jie was unaware that the piece of Profound Divine Metal was a first-form Profound Divine Metal, one of the Five Divine Elements.
…
"Duan Lingtian!"
In the Nine Serenities Battlefield, Duan Lingtian who was meditating in the Brahma Alliance's base was suddenly awakened by a loud voice.
The voice of the person who had come was filled with ill intentions.
"Hm?"
Duan Lingtian opened his eyes immediately. A cold smile appeared on his face as he muttered to himself, "Even after I displayed such strength, someone still dares to look for trouble?"
"It seems like you're very confident in yourself."
A cold glint flashed in Duan Ling Tian's eyes as he teleported and disappeared from his spot.
