To Duan Lingtian, comprehending the Thunder Laws was a pleasant surprise.
Although comprehending the Thunder Laws didn't increase his strength, comprehending an additional Law without wasting time was undoubtedly a joyous matter.
"I'll take those six Universe Divine Pills first and cultivate for a period of time. Once I consume their medicinal efficacy, I'll see if I should return to the Hidden Fog Sect or head to the area around the Linghu family."
After smashing apart the heavenly tribulation with a single fist, Duan Lingtian's thoughts stirred. His figure flashed and he vanished from where he was. When he appeared again, he was on the other side of the mountain forest.
It was clear that he couldn't stay in the small mountain valley any longer. His heavenly tribulation had caused a great disturbance; it might draw people over.
However, Duan Lingtian didn't go far. After rushing for a day, he dug out a giant pit in a cliff to serve as his next cultivation area.
"Universe Divine Pills. After taking three, the medicinal efficacy is minimal … but, it's better than nothing."
After sitting down, Duan Lingtian took out the six Universe Divine Pills he obtained from the divine abode treasury left behind by God Emperor Qin Wu and swallowed them all in one go.
Then, he began to cultivate.
With Huang 'er protecting him, he wholeheartedly immersed himself in cultivation. He wholeheartedly digested the medicinal efficacy of the six Universe Divine Pills so that he could break through to the middle God King realm as soon as possible.
As he cultivated, Duan Lingtian completely forgot about everything else for a time.
In the blink of an eye, a month passed.
Myriad Demon Sect.
"Sect Master, the people we placed in the Hidden Fog Sect have sent back news … that Wu Feng has returned to the Hidden Fog Sect."
A Myriad Demon Sect Elder hurried over to report to the Myriad Demon Sect's Sect Master Lan Qing.
Lan Qing couldn't help but frown. "What about Duan Lingtian?"
"There's no news."
The Myriad Demon Sect Elder shook his head. "But, according to the news we received a few days ago, Duan Lingtian is still alive. He hasn't perished.
"Unless … he died in the last few days."
The Ten Thousand Demon Sect had placed some people in the Hidden Fog Sect, and those people had already discovered that Duan Lingtian was still alive. But, only a small number of people possessed a soul bead. It wasn't until several days ago that the people the Ten Thousand Demon Sect placed in the Hidden Fog Sect learned that Duan Lingtian was still alive.
"That shouldn't be possible."
Lan Qing shook his head. Duan Lingtian was a monstrous genius of the Hidden Fog Sect that appeared only once every 10,000 years. He had entered the ancient ruins and hadn't died yet, so how could he have died in these past few days?
"It should be because he didn't follow Wu Feng back to the Hidden Fog Sect."
Thinking of this, Lan Qing's eyes flashed. He looked at the Thousand Demon Sect Elder in front of him and said, "Ask the people over there to confirm whether Duan Lingtian is alive or dead."
"Yes."
After the Thousand Demonic Sect elder responded, Lan Qing asked him to leave. Then, he went to the Thousand Demonic Sect's Supreme Elder Du Zhan's cultivation place.
Of course, he did not come to find Du Zhan.
He came to find Kuang Tianzheng.
However, although he didn't come to find Du Zhan, this was still Du Zhan's cultivation place. As soon as he arrived, Du Zhan appeared. "What is it? Is there any new news? "
"Martial Uncle."
Lan Qing first greeted Du Zhan and then nodded.
"Come with me to see Senior-apprentice Brother."
Du Zhan immediately called out to Lan Qing and led him to Kuang Tianzheng.
Kuang Tianzheng was sitting in meditation in a quiet courtyard. When Du Zhan and Lan Qing appeared together outside the courtyard, he opened his eyes.
"Senior-apprentice Brother, that brat Lan Qing has brought new news."
Du Zhan stood outside the courtyard and greeted him.
"Come in."
As Kuang Tianzheng responded, Du Zhan and Lan Qing once again stepped into the courtyard.
"They returned to the Hidden Fog Sect?"
As soon as the two entered, Kuang Tianzheng's eyes fell on Lan Qing. An extremely cold light flashed in the depths of his eyes.
Even if it wasn't directed at Lan Qing, Lan Qing still felt his entire body turn cold, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
Although he was also a Divine Emperor, he was only a lower Divine Emperor.
As for this Martial Uncle of his, he was a middle Divine Emperor.
At the Divine Emperor Realm, even the difference of a small realm was as wide as a chasm.
Standing in front of him, one would feel a certain amount of pressure.
"Wu Feng returned to the Hidden Fog Sect."
Lan Qing responded.
"Wu Feng?"
Kuang Tianzheng frowned, "Just him?"
"Yes."
Lan Qing nodded, "Just him. As for that Duan Lingtian, he didn't return with him. "
"I guess that Duan Lingtian must have something else to do, so he stayed outside … of course, it's also possible that he died in the last few days."
Lan Qing said.
"Died in the last few days? Is that possible? "
Kuang Tianzheng shook his head, "I don't want that possibility. Have the people we placed in the Hidden Fog Sect confirm whether or not that Duan Lingtian is still alive. "
"Martial Uncle, I already told them to confirm."
As Lan Qing's voice fell, he looked at Kuang Tianzheng, "Martial Uncle, that Wu Feng has returned to the Hidden Fog Sect … do you want to attack him now, or wait for Duan Lingtian to return before attacking?"
"Naturally, we will wait for that Duan Lingtian to return."
Kuang Tianzheng said as if it was a matter of fact. "If we go to the Hidden Fog Sect now, regardless of whether or not we kill Wu Feng, as long as we target Wu Feng, we will alert the enemy and alarm that Duan Lingtian."
"Wait … if we can confirm that Duan Lingtian is dead, then I will look for that Wu Feng. If Duan Lingtian isn't dead, then we will wait. "
Kuang Tianzheng's attitude was clear.
Like this, Kuang Tianzheng and the others began to wait for news. They waited for news of whether or not Duan Lingtian had died.
They didn't wait for long. Several days later, the spies the Myriad Demon Sect placed in the Hidden Fog Sect returned with news.
"Duan Lingtian isn't dead."
Since Duan Lingtian wasn't dead, then what they had to do next was clear …
Wait.
Wait until death.
…
And as for the person involved, Duan Lingtian, he had no idea that the Hidden Fog Sect didn't just have Dragon Xiao waiting for him. Even an inner sect Elder of a God Emperor level sect, the Heavenly Demon Sect, had his eyes on him.
In a cave that had been artificially carved out of a cliff, Duan Lingtian was calmly cultivating, wholeheartedly digesting the medicinal efficacy of the Heaven Essence Divine Pills.
Of the six Heaven Essence Divine Pills, the first three were relatively difficult to digest.
As for the remaining three, with the first three as a foundation, they were much easier to digest. But, the increase in strength it brought to Duan Lingtian was miniscule.
In fact, the medicinal efficacy of the last three Heaven Essence Divine Pills added together wasn't even a tenth of the first three Heaven Essence Divine Pills.
When the last three Heaven Essence Divine Pills were consumed, Duan Lingtian opened his eyes and bitterly smiled. "If I had known that the medicinal efficacy of the Heaven Essence Divine Pills would be so miniscule after three pills, I wouldn't have taken them."
This was something he hadn't expected.
He originally thought that since it was a Heaven Essence Divine Pill, no matter how weak the medicinal efficacy was, it would still bring him a considerable increase in strength.
However, while his imagination was beautiful, reality was cruel.
Of course, Duan Lingtian soon recovered from his regretful mood. With things having come this far, regret was useless. After all, what was done couldn't be undone.
No matter how much he thought about it, it would only add to his troubles.
"But, after stepping into the God King Realm, the improvement in my cultivation has slowed down so much … After taking six Heaven Essence Divine Pills, my cultivation hasn't even reached half of the difference between a low-level God King Realm and a mid-level God King Realm, at most one-third."
"And this is after I took the Heaven Essence Divine Pill, which is one of the top three divine pills a God King Realm cultivator takes."
After sighing with emotion, Duan Lingtian asked the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword's sword spirit, Huang 'er. "Huang' er, how long have I been in seclusion this time?"
"Three months and twenty-one days."
Huang 'er answered promptly, telling Duan Lingtian the exact time he had been in seclusion, down to every day.
"Close to four months?"
Duan Lingtian was surprised. He hadn't expected to spend so much time in seclusion this time.
One had to know that whether it was the Nature Fortune Pill or the Fortune Divine Fruit, he had been able to completely digest the medicinal efficacy in a single day, and his strength had improved by leaps and bounds.
In comparison, this cultivation speed wasn't considered slow, but in Duan Lingtian's subconscious mind, it seemed a little slow.
"It seems like the cultivation path of a God King Realm cultivator isn't something a God Spirit Realm cultivator can compare to."
Although Duan Lingtian had heard about this before, he was still shocked when he personally experienced the difference.
It was no wonder that in the Planes of Gods, only God Kings were worthy of the title of 'expert'.
Without the Heaven Essence Divine Pills, Duan Lingtian didn't have the mood to continue cultivating.
"Now, should I return to the Hidden Fog Sect … or should I go to the Linghu family and see if I can find a way to meet Linghu Chuyin?"
Just as this thought appeared in his mind, Duan Lingtian made a decision in his heart.
Go to the Linghu family!
Thinking that Linghu Chuyin might be his wife, Kerr, Duan Lingtian found it hard to suppress his emotions.
…
The Linghu family was a God Emperor rank force that wasn't any weaker than the Hidden Fog Sect and Myriad Demon Sect.
With the Monarch Descent City that Duan Lingtian had visited as the boundary, the Hidden Fog Sect was in the east, the Myriad Demon Sect was in the south, and the Linghu family was in the north.
As for the west, it was a God Emperor rank force, the Tianlong Clan.
The Tianlong Clan was a God Emperor rank force that the Hidden Fog Sect, Myriad Demon Sect, and Linghu family worshipped. Just like the Hidden Fog Sect and Myriad Demon Sect, the Linghu family had been sending their clan's geniuses to the Tianlong Clan.
Because of this, within the Tianlong Clan, it wasn't just the Hidden Fog Sect and Myriad Demon Sect that had some background. Even the Linghu family's background wasn't small.
However, as a family clan, the Linghu Family Clan was different from the Hidden Fog Sect and Ten Thousand Demon Sect. The Ten Thousand Demon Sect and Hidden Fog Sect were stationed in the wilderness, while the Linghu Family Clan was stationed in a bustling city.
This city was called Linghu City.
In truth, this city was built by the Linghu family. It was expanded with the Linghu family as the center.
In terms of scale, Linghu City wasn't much worse than Monarch Descent City. It was much larger than the Skywind City that Duan Lingtian had visited before and the other cities that he had visited.
"The Linghu family."
With Duan Lingtian's current speed, it only took him half a month to arrive at Linghu City.
After arriving at Linghu City, the first thing Duan Lingtian did was inquire about the Linghu family's location.
After asking around, he learned that:
The Linghu family was located in the east of Linghu City. The family mansion was large, almost one-fifth the size of Linghu City.
