The middle-aged scholar's words were filled with anger.
As for Duan Lingtian, he could feel a bone-deep hatred from the middle-aged scholar's tone. At the same time, he finally realized why this middle-aged scholar was imprisoned here.
Even if such a person didn't die, he definitely couldn't be released.
Otherwise, sooner or later, he would bring disaster to the Hidden Fog Sect.
To be appointed as the next successor to the Hidden Fog Sect's Sect Master, his talent and perception could be imagined. He was absolutely at the peak. In the future, when he stood up, he would surely be a giant. It wouldn't be difficult for him to establish a Divine Emperor level influence.
Even if the Hidden Fog Sect didn't kill him, it was impossible for them to allow him to grow.
The small world of the Stairway to Heaven was undoubtedly the best place for him to belong.
"In the Stairway to Heaven's world, there are many people who are imprisoned for an indefinite period of time … is your imprisonment also permanent?"
Duan Lingtian asked as he looked at the middle-aged scholar.
"What do you think?"
The middle-aged scholar sneered. He asked in return, "I am just over 2300 years old and yet I have already become a higher Deity. Moreover, I have even comprehended the fusion of two types of Wind Laws' three profound meanings … even if placed in the history of the Hidden Fog Sect, such achievements can be counted on one hand."
"If it weren't for them wanting to use me as a gatekeeper for the Stairway to Heaven's struggle to temper their juniors, they would have already killed me.
"It is impossible for them to release me … my imprisonment is naturally permanent."
As he spoke, the corners of the middle-aged scholar's mouth curled into a mocking smile. "A dignified god-emperor-level sect is as timid as a mouse. Even a mere higher deity like me is afraid of them … How laughable!"
Hearing the middle-aged scholar's words, Duan Lingtian was startled. He never imagined that this middle-aged scholar would have such astonishing achievements at such a young age.
"Alright, enough nonsense … boy, do you want to leave by yourself, or do you want me to send you out?"
The middle-aged scholar narrowed his eyes as he looked at Duan Ling Tian. His Divine Energy that had been boosted with the law of wind began to stir as though a terrifying tornado was brewing in his body.
Hearing the middle-aged scholar's words, Duan Lingtian smiled indifferently. "Although I don't intend to pass the ninth level … I'm afraid you don't have the ability to send me out."
Duan Lingtian's words made the middle-aged scholar sneer. "Kid, it seems like you don't know how strong I am."
"Fine … Next, I'll let you experience my strength!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the middle-aged scholar attacked.
Whoosh!
Crash!!
…
Along with the tornado on the middle-aged scholar's body, a terrifying storm swept out towards Duan Ling Tian as if it covered the heavens and the earth. It was like a gigantic beast that opened its bloody mouth and wanted to swallow Duan Ling Tian up the staircase.
However, this storm disappeared just as quickly as it came.
Boom!!
Rumble!!
…
The spatial storm raged as it crushed this similarly shocking storm that originated from the middle-aged scholar without any effort, causing the middle-aged man's expression to instantly change drastically.
"You … You've actually comprehended the fusion of three Profundities from the Law of Space!"
Although there were only eight Profundities from the Law of Space that could be fused, it did not mean that only two Profundities could be fused. It could also be fused three, four, or even five Profundities. It was just that the combinations were different.
The more one comprehended, the stronger the power would be.
At this moment, Duan Lingtian had used the fusion of three Profundities from the Law of Space to crush the middle-aged scholar's strength. It was similar to how he had defeated Xue Haishan who was at the eighth level of the Celestial Stairway.
Bang!!
A violent Spatial Energy came crashing down like a giant hammer and landed on the middle-aged scholar's body, sending him flying violently.
Of course, at this critical moment, Duan Lingtian withdrew most of his strength.
Otherwise, the middle-aged scholar would have died without a doubt!
"You …"
Just as the middle-aged scholar regained his senses, his face turned green and pale. He was shocked when he saw the purple figure standing in the distance had taken out the Celestial Stairway Token and left.
The figure flashed and disappeared before his eyes.
"He … doesn't plan on going to the tenth level of the Celestial Stairway?"
Seeing this, the middle-aged scholar was stunned for a moment.
However, he immediately thought of something and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. A smile appeared on his face. "It seems that he doesn't want to be too high-profile … A higher Deity ascending to the tenth level of the Celestial Stairway. In the history of the Hidden Fog Sect, no one has ever done this.
"The best one has ever done was to ascend to the ninth level of the Celestial Stairway."
In the blink of an eye, the middle-aged scholar guessed why the purple-clothed youth didn't go to the tenth level of the Celestial Stairway. It turned out that he wanted to keep a low profile.
"I really didn't expect the Hidden Fog Sect to produce such a character …"
The middle-aged scholar sighed with a bit of regret.
Such a character was even more outstanding than he was in the past.
…
Outside the Celestial Stairway.
The small dot of light that represented Duan Lingtian. After reaching the ninth level of the Celestial Stairway, most people thought that Duan Lingtian would soon be eliminated.
Even Tang Wuyan felt the same way.
However, what surprised them was that after Duan Lingtian ascended to the ninth level of the Celestial Stairway, he didn't come out for a long time.
"Could it be that … he still has the ability to compete with the people on the ninth level of the Celestial Stairway? Otherwise, how could he last for so long? "
An inner sect disciple guessed in horror.
"Impossible! There must be another reason! "
Another inner sect disciple shook his head. He obviously didn't want to believe this. "After all, he stayed on the seventh level of the Celestial Stairway for a long time."
"I think so too … the gatekeeper must have gone easy on him for him to pass the eighth level of the Celestial Stairway so easily."
…
The group of people outside never expected that the reason Duan Lingtian stayed on the ninth level of the Celestial Stairway for so long was because he was chatting with the gatekeeper.
Whoosh!
Finally, under the watchful eyes of the group of people, Duan Lingtian finally appeared. He had stopped on the ninth level of the Celestial Stairway.
Naturally, they did not expect Duan Lingtian to come out after defeating the gatekeeper on the ninth level of the Celestial Stairway. They thought Duan Lingtian was mercilessly eliminated by the gatekeeper on the ninth level of the Celestial Stairway.
"Duan Lingtian is out!"
"He stopped on the ninth level … Moreover, he stayed on the ninth level for such a long time. If there are no accidents, he'll be the first in the Celestial Stairway Contest this time!"
"He's really lucky."
…
The group of inner sect disciples whispered among themselves. Although their voices were not loud, Duan Lingtian heard them loud and clear.
"Elder."
When Duan Lingtian passed the Celestial Stairway Order to the old man, the old man asked curiously, "Duan Lingtian, did you fight with the gatekeeper on the ninth level of the Celestial Stairway for a long time?"
"No."
Duan Lingtian shook his head, "It ended quickly … It could be said that it ended in a single exchange."
"It ended in a single exchange."
The old man was startled, "If that's the case, why did you stay on the ninth level for such a long time?"
At this moment, whether it was the Hidden Fog Sect's inner sect elder or the surrounding inner sect disciples, they all thought that Duan Lingtian had been defeated by the gatekeeper on the ninth level of the Celestial Stairway in a single exchange.
They would never have dreamed that Duan Lingtian would say that he had defeated the gatekeeper on the ninth level in a single exchange.
However, as the Hidden Fog Sect's inner sect elder asked this question, the other inner sect disciples also looked at Duan Lingtian. They were curious as to why Duan Lingtian could stay on the ninth level for such a long time.
"We chatted for a while."
Duan Lingtian's reply caused everyone to be petrified. They never thought that this was the reason. It was because he had chatted with the gatekeeper that he could stay on the ninth level for such a long time.
This fellow, how could his luck be so good?
He met a gatekeeper who was willing to chat with him?
One had to know that it wasn't as if they hadn't thought of chatting with the keeper that they couldn't defeat in order to prolong the time they had to spend on the last floor. However, the keeper seemed to have the attitude of 'not saying anything more than half a sentence' and directly eliminated them mercilessly.
"You've really run into dog sh * t luck!"
Qi Yu sneered.
As for Qi Yu's voice, it sounded particularly ear-piercing in this quiet environment.
For a time, Duan Lingtian subconsciously looked at him.
However, he wasn't angry. Instead, he faintly smiled, "Yes, your luck is alright … but even if you want to run into dog sh * t luck, I'm afraid you won't be able to do so."
Seeing Duan Lingtian refute him, Qi Yu's expression sank. At the same time, he sneered, "Duan Lingtian, you finally stopped hiding like a coward … since you've come out, have you thought about accepting my challenge?"
"Or perhaps … you don't dare? Do you want to continue being a coward? "
Qi Yu sneered.
"Challenge?"
Duan Lingtian was stunned. For a moment, he didn't react.
At this time, Tang Wuyan took a step forward and walked in front of Duan Lingtian. She said to Duan Lingtian, "Duan Lingtian, he's the inner sect disciple who has challenged you every month for the past three months, Qi Yu."
"Qi Yu?"
Duan Lingtian looked at Qi Yu again with a look of realization on his face, "I was wondering who it was … So it's the dog that Tu Feng sent to bite me."
As soon as Duan Lingtian's words left his mouth, the entire place fell into a dead silence.
Even Tang Wuyan, who was standing in front of him, was stunned. She never thought Duan Lingtian would call Qi Yu a dog in front of Qi Yu. Moreover, he even said that Qi Yu was the dog of another inner sect disciple.
Tang Wuyan quickly reacted. She hurriedly looked at Duan Lingtian and asked, "Duan Lingtian, do you have a grudge with Senior-apprentice Brother Tu Feng?"
Although Tu Feng was also an inner sect disciple, he was an inner sect disciple who had stepped into the Divine King Realm.
In terms of status and strength, he wasn't someone that ordinary Divine Spirit Realm inner sect disciples like them could compare with.
Although Duan Ling Tian's innate talent and comprehension ability were not bad, it was not a good thing for him to offend Tu Feng. Not only was Tu Feng a Divine King Stage inner sect disciple, but he was also the eldest disciple of the Second Elder of the Hidden Fog Sect!
"I don't think it's a conflict, but I don't know what he thinks."
Duan Lingtian said with a shrug.
Before Tang Wuyan could reply to Duan Ling Tian, Qi Yu's voice that was filled with anger and coldness rang in the air.
"Duan Lingtian, do you want to die?"
