"What is it?"
Seeing his little brother lose his composure like this, Xue Haishan couldn't help but be startled. His eyes filled with curiosity.
"Big brother."
Xue Haichuan bitterly smiled. "The Duan Lingtian you speak of is no longer a disciple of the Hidden Fog Sect."
"No longer a disciple of the Hidden Fog Sect?"
Xue Haishan frowned. "What's going on?"
He still remembered the young man who had shown mercy and didn't kill him in the Heavenly Stairway Prison. He was filled with gratitude towards this person.
He always thought that once he was released, he would repay this person's favor.
He, Xue Haishan, was someone who would repay any kindness.
"It's like this …"
Even though Xue Haichuan was now the Tianlong Clan's White Dragon Elder and was strong enough to sweep away an entire region, in front of this big brother of his, he was still nothing more than a little brother. He was incomparably patient.
Xue Haichuan explained everything he knew about Duan Lingtian. He also mentioned how, in order to kill Duan Lingtian, the Hidden Fog Sect's Elder Feng had detonated his inner world that was layered with multiple killing arrays, destroying Linghu City and slaughtering countless lives.
After listening to Xue Haichuan's story, Xue Haishan was stunned. If he didn't remember wrong, when he first met that little fellow in the Heavenly Stairway Prison, he had only been a higher deity.
In just a dozen some years, not only had he broken through to become a lower God King, but he had also done so many things that even Xue Haishan found inconceivable?
"I knew he wasn't simple, but I never imagined he would stir up such a storm …"
Xue Haishan couldn't help but sigh. Then, he seemed to think of something. He frowned and said, "However, Elder Feng did go a bit too far.
"For the sake of his own selfish desires, he placed the Hidden Fog Sect in such a situation.
"However, it was fortunate that the sect reined in the horse at the edge of the cliff and decisively cut off their losses … otherwise, the Hidden Fog Sect would have continued to be in chaos in the future."
Xue Haishan looked at his younger brother with a complicated expression. "Haichuan, when we were in the Stairway to Heaven, I predicted that even if you didn't become a Divine Emperor, you would be one of the best among the Superior Divine Kings … It seems that I underestimated you."
Just now, when Xue Haichuan spoke of Duan Lingtian's actions and his influence on the Hidden Fog Sect, he also spoke of his actions after returning this time.
At the same time, he also mentioned his current strength and status in the Tianlong Clan.
"Big brother, it's also because you were imprisoned in the Heavenly Stairway Prison. Otherwise, your achievements today would definitely not be lower than mine."
"After all, you're skilled in the Law of Time, the strongest of the Four Supreme Laws!"
"Back then, when you entered, I was only on par with you in terms of comprehension of Laws and Profundity."
Xue Haichuan said, "However, it's not too late now. With Big Brother's talent and perception, you won't need ten thousand years to catch up with me."
"At most twenty thousand years. You'll definitely catch up to me."
Xue Haishan sighed and said, "Fortunately, when I was imprisoned in the Stairway Prison, I hadn't become a Divine King yet."
"Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to cultivate or comprehend Laws in there. I wouldn't be able to increase my strength. Even if I could withstand the first few Divine King heavenly tribulations, I wouldn't be able to withstand the later ones."
Existences above the Divine King realm had to face heavenly tribulation once every thousand years. Even if they were trapped in the Stairway Prison, the Divine King heavenly tribulation would still chase after them.
This was the Law of Heaven and Earth. No matter where you were, no matter what plane you were on, you couldn't avoid it.
Moreover, the heavenly tribulation came once every thousand years, and each time it was stronger than the last. It wouldn't consider whether or not your strength had increased in the past thousand years, nor would it pity you if you were imprisoned in the Stairway Prison, a plane where you couldn't increase your strength for ten thousand years.
Because Xue Haishan wasn't a Divine King before he entered the Stairway Prison, he didn't need to worry about facing heavenly tribulation.
Now, when he broke through to the Divine King realm, the first heavenly tribulation would come.
Even though he had wasted ten thousand years, he knew that his talent and perception were still there. Even if his achievements after ten thousand years couldn't compare to his little brother Xue Haichuan, they wouldn't be too far off.
After all, they were brothers from the same father and mother. Even if there was a difference, it wouldn't be too far off.
"Haichuan, let's go to the Linghu family and find Little Brother Duan to drink … then, I'll follow you back to the Tianlong Clan."
Xue Haishan looked at Xue Haichuan and said.
Xue Haichuan smiled and nodded. "Good! I also want to see that Duan Lingtian who has stirred up so many storms in the Hidden Fog Sect. I'll also thank him in person for not killing you in the past. "
"Big Brother, before leaving the Hidden Fog Sect, I need to go to Martial Uncle Wu's side. Do you want to come with me or what? "
Xue Haichuan asked.
"Let's go together."
Xue Haishan said, "It just so happens that I haven't seen Martial Uncle Wu in ten thousand years."
In the past, Xue Haishan and Xue Haichuan had been apprenticed to the same Venerable Master. During the ten thousand years in the Stairway to Heaven prison, Xue Haishan often inquired about news from the sect disciples who were participating in the Stairway to Heaven trial.
Thus, although he was in the Stairway to Heaven prison, he knew that his little brother had entered the Tianlong Clan and that his Venerable Master had been killed by heavenly tribulation.
In the following several thousand years, he didn't encounter any sect disciples who were participating in the Stairway to Heaven trial, so he didn't know where to start.
The events of the last several thousand years were nothing but a blank slate for him.
…
Linghu City.
Linghu family.
Because his cultivation had reached a bottleneck and he was unable to make any further breakthroughs, Duan Lingtian had temporarily shifted his focus to alchemy.
Gradually, he became more proficient and mature in refining emperor level divine pills. However, there were still some flaws and he needed time to accumulate experience.
"Since it's difficult for my cultivation to make any progress and my comprehension of Laws and Profound Meanings has entered a slow phase … it's not a waste to spend some time on the path of divine pills."
It had been half a year since he last came out of his closed-door cultivation.
In the past six months, Duan Lingtian who was engrossed in alchemy had led a fulfilling life. If there was anything he regretted, it would be that he was unable to make any breakthroughs in his cultivation base even after a long time.
As he became more familiar with the path of divine pills, he was not far from being able to perfectly refine ordinary emperor level divine pills.
Once he could perfectly refine ordinary emperor level divine pills, it would mean that he would be able to refine supreme emperor level divine pills!
In the Realms of Gods, refining supreme emperor level divine pills was the mark of a top Empyrean Divine Alchemist.
In fact, there were even some Venerable Grade Divine Alchemists who found it difficult to refine supreme emperor level divine pills!
"Duan Lingtian!"
One day, Duan Lingtian was in the middle of refining pills when he was suddenly awakened by a message from the Clan Leader of the Linghu family, Linghu Renjie.
"Clan Leader? What's the matter? "
Duan Lingtian asked curiously.
"There are two guests. One of them is a distinguished guest. I'm waiting for you in the main hall with them."
Linghu Renjie replied.
"Who is it?"
Duan Lingtian asked curiously.
"The other guest said that you'll recognize him when you arrive."
Linghu Renjie replied. It was obvious that he was helping the other party keep Duan Lingtian in suspense.
Duan Lingtian was speechless when he heard this. However, he was also curious about the distinguished guest that Linghu Renjie mentioned. Moreover, the other party wanted to meet him.
"Could it be an elder of the Linghu family in the Tianlong Clan?"
Duan Lingtian could not help but speculate.
Due to his curiosity and Linghu Ren Jie's urgency, Duan Ling Tian put down the things in his hands and walked out of his room. He left his mansion and went to the main hall.
In the main hall, other than Linghu Renjie, there were two other people.
One was a handsome young man dressed in a snow-white robe with an outstanding temperament. The other was a tall young man with a resolute face and eyes like lightning.
The two of them stood side by side. There were some similarities between their eyebrows, and the shape of their faces were also similar.
There was no difference in height.
"This person …"
After Duan Lingtian walked in, his eyes fell on the tall middle-aged man in front of him. He felt that this face was somewhat familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.
"Elder Xue Haichuan, this is Duan Lingtian, a guest of the Linghu family."
At the same time, Duan Lingtian saw Linghu Renjie introduce him to the white-clothed young man beside the tall middle-aged man with a smile.
Following Linghu Renjie's words, Duan Lingtian's eyes instantly shifted from the tall middle-aged man to the white-clothed young man beside him.
Xue Haichuan?
He was Xue Haichuan?
Duan Lingtian was no stranger to the name 'Xue Haichuan'. Not long after he arrived at the Hidden Fog Sect, many people said that he was the second Xue Haichuan of the Hidden Fog Sect.
Later, many people compared him to Xue Haichuan.
In fact, after he killed Shangguan Xiongfeng and Long Xiao, the surrounding Hidden Fog Sect Elders and disciples whispered amongst themselves. They felt that Xue Haichuan's achievements at his age were far inferior to his own.
In short, before he met Xue Haichuan, he had heard the name 'Xue Haichuan' so many times that his ears were growing calluses.
Of course, this was also because Xue Haichuan did not know what Duan Lingtian was thinking. Otherwise, he might have rolled his eyes at Duan Lingtian and said, "I, Xue Haichuan, have heard the name 'Duan Lingtian' so many times that my ears are growing calluses."
"Duan Lingtian."
After introducing Duan Lingtian to Xue Haichuan, Linghu Renjie introduced Xue Haichuan to Duan Lingtian. "This is one of the three youngest White Dragon Elders of the Tianlong Clan, Elder Xue Haichuan. Elder Xue Haichuan used to be a disciple of the Hidden Fog Sect. I'm sure you've heard of him when you were in the Hidden Fog Sect."
"Foreign Elder Duan, I've heard a lot about you."
Xue Haichuan smiled and nodded at Duan Lingtian. In Duan Lingtian's eyes, the friendliness in his eyes was a bit too much.
Xue Haichuan was a former disciple of the Hidden Fog Sect. Even though he was now in the Tianlong Clan, he still belonged to the Hidden Fog Sect.
Logically speaking, even if he didn't hate him, he shouldn't be so friendly.
"Elder Xue Haichuan, I've heard a lot about you."
Duan Lingtian secretly raised his guard. He felt that this Xue Haichuan should also be a 'smiling tiger' type character. Otherwise, why would he be so friendly in front of him?
As the saying went, one who was unaccountably solicitous was hiding evil intentions.
"Haha …"
After Duan Lingtian and Xue Haichuan greeted each other, the tall middle-aged man beside Xue Haichuan laughed as he looked at Duan Lingtian. "Little Brother Duan, it's only been a dozen some years and you've already forgotten about me?"
