Duan Lingtian had been very anxious and conflicted lately.
It had been two years since he was able to officially refine a king level divine pill. He had always wanted to try refining a king level divine pill, but he didn't want to do so as long as he didn't leave the Linghu Clan. He was afraid that he would encounter some trouble later on.
Ordinary troubles were one thing, but he was afraid of encountering 'crazy' loose cultivators and bandits who would directly attack and kidnap him.
Even the Linghu family couldn't resist some of these people.
But for now, he was fine.
True experts wouldn't bother with him, and the Linghu family had the ability to defend against those who weren't that strong. They could protect him.
'Logically speaking, now that I can even refine Royal Grade Divine Pills, with my ability to sense the life energy in the heaven and earth spiritual energy, I should be able to extract it. It shouldn't be a problem for me to refine King Grade Divine Pills.'
"Over the past two years, I've been using ordinary king grade divine pills to aid my cultivation, but my cultivation progress has been minimal. Moreover, I've been using the same type of divine pill for a long time, so it's inevitable that I'll develop a resistance to it.
"If I can concoct a few King Grade Divine Pills that can aid in cultivation and turn them into Ultimate Grade Divine Pills, it will be a great help to my cultivation."
Over the past two years, even the Linghu family's chief divine pill master, Lin Yan, had frequently visited Duan Lingtian to see if Duan Lingtian could refine a supreme king grade divine pill.
However, Duan Lingtian had always held back, so Lin Yan had always returned disappointed.
Recently, he hadn't even come to see Duan Lingtian.
According to his original words, "Consecrator Duan, I'm asking too much of you … The peak Spirit Grade Divine Pill is something that many Emperor Grade Divine Pill Refiners can refine. However, even an emperor grade divine pill master might not be able to refine a supreme king grade divine pill.
"Take the old clan leader of the Tianlong Clan for example. He's someone that all the top emperor grade forces in Tung Leng Province want to invite, but I've never heard of him being able to refine a supreme king grade divine pill."
Every time, Lin Yan was afraid that Duan Lingtian would be discouraged, so he patiently comforted Duan Lingtian.
Little did he know that Duan Lingtian had been holding back all along.
"Let's wait for a few more months … Normally speaking, the inner sect elder of the Tianlong Clan, Kuang Tianzheng, can't stay in Linghu City forever."
"If I were him, I would have lost my patience long ago."
Now, Duan Lingtian desperately needed a peak level king grade divine pellet to aid his cultivation. Otherwise, no matter how hard he worked, his progress would be limited.
Of course, in the eyes of others, that little bit of progress was already considered extremely fast.
However, in his opinion, it was extremely slow.
This was because he couldn't possibly take the normal path like a normal person. He had to take a shortcut, otherwise, there was no way he could bring Kerr back from the World of Divine Remains.
Even if Linghu Chuyin was Kerr, he still had to obtain the approval of the family behind Kerr. Even if Kerr didn't care, this was something that he had to do.
All in all, there was not much time left for him.
In just over 300 years, if he took the normal path, he might not even be able to enter the Celestial Lord Realm, let alone the Celestial Emperor Realm or the Godly Venerable Realm!
"The Xia Clan of the World of Divine Remains … is a Godly Venerable Realm clan!"
Duan Lingtian did not know about this in the past. However, after coming to the Linghu family and spending some time in the Linghu family's library, he read about the records of the top forces in the various Planes of Gods in an ancient book in the library.
The Xia Clan of the World of Divine Remains was included in the book.
According to the ancient book, there were less than ten forces in each Plane of Gods. There were more than a dozen Planes of Gods, but there were only slightly more than a hundred forces recorded in the book.
These slightly more than a hundred Godly Venerable Realm forces basically represented the top forces in the various Planes of Gods.
"Apart from the Xia Clan of the World of Divine Remains, the Yun Clan of the World of Divine Remains is also a Godly Venerable Realm force. According to the ancient book, the Yun Clan is one of the eight Godly Venerable Realm forces in the World of Divine Remains."
Duan Lingtian's main goal was to save Kerr and obtain the Xia Clan's approval.
In that case, killing Yun Qing Yan would be Duan Lingtian's secondary goal.
In the past, that face that looked down on him and despised him was something he would never forget for the rest of his life … There would come a day when he would trample that arrogant youth under his feet and let him experience what it was like to look up at someone.
All of these were the motivation for Duan Lingtian to move forward.
…
Duan Lingtian did not expect to receive a message about Kuang Tianzheng from the Clan Leader of the Linghu Family, Linghu Renjie, a few days later.
However, Linghu Renjie's tone betrayed his fear. "Duan Lingtian, I've received an invitation from the Tianlong Clan's Inner Sect Elder, Kuang Tianzheng.
The invitation clearly states that his second disciple will be marrying the daughter of the Tianlong Clan's Vice Sect Leader Xue. He's invited me to attend the ceremony.
"The invitation specifically stated that I had to bring you along."
Toward the end of Linghu Renjie's message, the tone of his voice gradually turned serious.
After he finished speaking, Linghu Renjie continued, "I definitely won't bring you along … If I bring you along, even if you can successfully attend the ceremony, it'll be very difficult for you to come back with me alive."
"I'm sending you this message so that you can be mentally prepared … That Kuang Tianzheng is related to the Tianlong Clan's Vice Sect Leader Xue. Things are different now."
"In the future, if he wants to deal with you, he'll be able to mobilize even more power."
Linghu Renjie said.
"Of course, our Linghu family has been in the Tianlong Clan for many years. Even if Kuang Tianzheng suddenly has such a connection, we don't fear him. Our Linghu family is also related to the Tianlong Clan's Vice Sect Leader by marriage. "
"Moreover, it's an elder of our Linghu family who married the son of the Tianlong Clan's Vice Sect Leader … That Vice Sect Leader's son is now the Tianlong Clan's White Dragon Elder."
Linghu Renjie continued.
The status of the Tianlong Clan's White Dragon Elder was above that of the Inner Sect Elders. Duan Lingtian had heard this from Linghu Renjie in the past.
"Patriarch, I understand."
Duan Lingtian responded. At the same time, he was somewhat happy because this meant that Kuang Tianzheng was no longer waiting for him in Linghu City. He could leave the Linghu family!
As for the Kuang Tianzheng's relationship with the Tianlong Clan's Vice Sect Leader, Duan Lingtian began to feel somewhat apprehensive.
However, after hearing from Linghu Renjie that the Linghu family also had another Vice Sect Leader in the Tianlong Clan, Duan Lingtian didn't care as much.
At the very least, he could guarantee that when he entered the Tianlong Clan and joined the Linghu family in the future, he wouldn't be suppressed by the Kuang Tianzheng's forces to the point where he couldn't raise his head.
"In the next period of time, I'll prepare the herbs needed to refine the King Grade Divine Pills … In addition, I'll also prepare the herbs needed to refine the Emperor Grade Divine Pills.
If I'm lucky, it'll be great if I can refine one or two Emperor Grade Divine Pills. "
Over the next few days, Duan Ling Tian looked forward to his trip to the Celestial Realm and hoped that he would be able to refine a supreme Royal Divine Pill.
Three days later, after bidding farewell to Duan Lingtian, Linghu Renjie left the Linghu family and headed to the Tianlong Clan to attend the wedding of the Kuang Tianzheng's second disciple.
If it was only the wedding of the Kuang Tianzheng's second disciple and an ordinary woman, he could politely decline the invitation even if he received the invitation.
However, the bride of the Kuang Tianzheng's second disciple wasn't an ordinary woman, but the biological daughter of one of the Tianlong Clan's Vice Sect Leaders!
If he declined, the Kuang Tianzheng would casually mention it in front of the Vice Sect Leader, and the Vice Sect Leader would definitely remember him.
This wouldn't be good for him or the Linghu family.
Perhaps it was because of this that the originally neutral Vice Sect Leader was willing to openly side with the Myriad Demon Sect and oppose the Linghu family.
After Linghu Renjie's departure, Duan Lingtian prepared for a few more days before leaving the Linghu family as well.
However, he didn't alert anyone when he left the Linghu family.
Even the steward, Wang Fu, and the group of servant girls and servants in his mansion didn't notice that he had left.
He'd teleported away.
Because he had the Linghu family's identity medallion, the Linghu family's protective formation didn't target or reject Duan Lingtian. Duan Lingtian could teleport anywhere he wanted.
After a few teleportations, Duan Lingtian left the Linghu family and appeared in a remote alley in the eastern district of Linghu City.
After arriving in this small alley, he wasn't in a hurry to leave. Instead, he stopped and waited for a while.
Although it was impossible for the Tianlong Clan's Clan Master, Kuang Tianzheng, to guard him here, he still had to be wary of the Hidden Fog Sect's people nearby.
Although the Hidden Fog Sect had publicly stated that they wouldn't oppose him anymore, as the saying went, 'Caution is the parent of safety'. Being a little more careful wasn't a bad thing.
After waiting for about a quarter of an hour and confirming that no one was spying on him, Duan Lingtian teleported again and left, appearing in another part of Linghu City.
Then, after several more teleportations, he left Linghu City.
And after Duan Lingtian left the city, within the Linghu family's mansion, the Linghu family's elder who was in charge of overseeing one of the protective formations discovered the fluctuations caused by Duan Lingtian's teleportation.
For a time, he abided by the Linghu family's rules and glanced at the mirror image that caused the array formation to fluctuate. He saw a purple-clothed youth appear in the mirror image.
"This … isn't that Exalted Elder Duan?"
The Linghu family elder's expression changed slightly. He immediately sent a message to the person in charge above him, a core elder of the Linghu family, informing him of this matter.
As early as Duan Lingtian had arrived at the Linghu family, the head of the Linghu family had told him that he had to pay attention to Duan Lingtian's whereabouts at all times. He couldn't allow Duan Lingtian to leave the Linghu family mansion alone for fear of danger.
He had always kept this in mind and even ordered the elders on duty to pay attention to this point.
However, for over two years, Exalted Elder Duan had allowed them to be at ease. He had never left the Linghu family mansion.
Until today.
"Exalted Elder Duan teleported away from the Linghu family?"
When the head of the Linghu family, Linghu Renjie, received the message, he was sitting on a flying ship heading towards the Tianlong Temple. He was almost there.
