Duan Lingtian. He was an honored guest of the Linghu family, and his talent and comprehension were both outstanding, surpassing any member of the Linghu family's younger generation.
He could even refine ultimate spirit-level divine pills.
As the head of the Linghu family, if Duan Lingtian were to spend a few months or even a year in the Linghu family's secret chamber of laws, no one in the Linghu family would object. After all, such a talent was worthy of such preferential treatment from the Linghu family.
However, to make Duan Lingtian stay in the secret chamber of laws for three whole years and use up a third of the Linghu family's divine stone mine … this was something that most of the Linghu family members could not accept. It was too much of a price to pay, and no matter how they looked at it, Duan Lingtian wasn't worthy of such a price.
Therefore, when they heard Linghu Renjie's words, most of the elders looked at Linghu Renjie with cold eyes.
Some even sneered.
"So it's because of this … you're smart to resign yourself. Did you know that we would remove you from your position as head of the family after learning of this matter?"
"Linghu Renjie, you've gone too far in this matter … the family's resources should not be wasted on you like this!"
"Linghu Renjie, we admit that Honored Guest Duan's talent and comprehension are not bad, and his skill in pill dao is also very high, but I'm afraid this isn't enough for the Linghu family to do all we can to curry favor with him, right?"
… …
Now, apart from the Linghu family elders who'd already known about this matter, as well as those who were on good terms with Linghu Renjie, the rest of the elders looked at Linghu Renjie with righteous indignation, their words full of reprimand.
Linghu Renjie calmly took in all that was before him.
He'd long expected this to happen.
"Elders."
Linghu Renjie said with a serious expression, "Regardless of whether the elders believe me or not, I am doing this for the sake of the Linghu Family … I believe that if we do this for Consecrator Duan, in the future, Consecrator Duan will be able to give our Linghu Family more than we give him, and not less than what we give him."
Linghu Renjie trusted Duan Lingtian almost blindly.
However, the majority of the elders scoffed at Linghu Renjie's words. "Linghu Renjie, if Duan Lingtian was willing to stay in our Linghu family for the rest of his life and contribute to our Linghu family, it would have been fine even if our Linghu family had sacrificed so much … But now, he has already gone to the Tianlong Clan to participate in the Tianjin Clan's entrance examination and will soon become a disciple of the Tianjin Clan."
"What you're doing is making a wedding dress for the Tianlong Clan!"
"That's right! Although we are indirectly subordinates of the Tianlong Clan, there's no need to cultivate talents for the sake of the Tianjin Clan. Forgive me for not agreeing with your way of doing things! "
"As long as Duan Lingtian doesn't die prematurely, it won't be a problem for him to soar into the sky in the future … But how can you be sure that he won't forget his roots in the future?"
…
The elders in the Council of Elders' rebuke of Linghu Renjie became more and more vicious. Even the elders who were on good terms with Linghu Renjie couldn't get a word in edgewise.
Of course, at this time, Linghu Renjie also transmitted his voice to them not to interfere. "This matter was done by me alone. I was the one who insisted on going my own way. It has nothing to do with you all, so there's no need for you all to interfere. I don't want to drag you all down.
"I am in the wrong regarding this matter. Let them vent their anger."
Linghu Renjie had long been prepared to be reprimanded. He humbly listened to the elders' reprimand and didn't complain from beginning to end.
Even if the Council of Elders wanted to punish him further, he wouldn't complain.
He always believed that everything he did was right.
Duan Lingtian wouldn't let him down.
…
Duan Lingtian didn't know about Linghu Renjie's misfortune in the Linghu Family. From beginning to end, Linghu Renjie's responses had been normal.
Duan Lingtian had continued to work hard on forming a doppelgänger of space on the way to the Tianlong Temple. Not long before arriving at the tianlong Temple, he had successfully formed a doppelgänger of space and was now able to use all of the profundities of space he had mastered.
Now, the strength of his doppelgänger of space wasn't inferior to his as long as he didn't use any of his other techniques.
"I wonder … if my doppelgänger can use the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth that I've comprehended."
With this thought, Duan Lingtian summoned his doppelgänger of space. A 'Duan Lingtian' who looked exactly like him appeared in front of him. He wore an illusory purple robe that was identical to the one Duan Lingtian was currently wearing. It was as if he was Duan Lingtian's twin brother.
However, at first, this' Duan Lingtian 'had lifeless eyes and appeared dull.
However, when Duan Lingtian tried to control him with his doppelgänger, his originally lifeless eyes lit up and his entire demeanor changed drastically. It was as if he was no different from Duan Lingtian's original body.
Of course, if one looked closely, they would be able to see that there were some differences between him and Duan Lingtian's original body. After all, it was only a doppelgänger of space and didn't possess many of the inconspicuous characteristics of the original body.
Only those who were very familiar with Duan Lingtian would be able to notice these differences.
"Let's try it."
Duan Lingtian's original body sat cross-legged on the spot and closed his eyes to rest.
Meanwhile, the doppelgänger of space began to attack in front of Heng and Huan. At first, it was just the fusion of the profundities of space with divine power. Then, it pointed out with his sword and with a 'whoosh', Duan Lingtian, who was controlling the doppelgänger of space, discovered that he could use the Sword Dao of the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth.
Of course, what he displayed in front of Heng and Huan was only the embryonic form of the Sword Dao.
Until now, in the entire Profound Handle Land, only the head of the Linghu family, Linghu Renjie, knew the true level of his Sword Dao. Moreover, the other party had been helping him to keep it a secret so that he wouldn't easily reveal it in front of outsiders, lest he attract the jealousy of others and bring about a fatal disaster.
In fact, part of the reason why Linghu Renjie was willing to give up the position of head of the Linghu family to help Duan Lingtian was also because of this.
In his opinion, Duan Lingtian had the potential to become a supreme expert.
It could be said that he was taking a 'huge gamble'.
And he believed that he wouldn't lose.
Of course, he couldn't expect everyone to understand his actions, so he didn't say anything when faced with the reprimanding and questioning of the Linghu family's elders, and silently endured everything.
"Duan Lingtian, your doppelgänger of space has been completely condensed?"
Linghu Huan looked at Duan Lingtian's doppelgänger of space in surprise and asked.
"Yes."
And Duan Lingtian's doppelgänger of space also nodded at Linghu Huan in a timely manner, and responded with a 'yes'.
"Duan Lingtian."
Suddenly, Linghu Huan seemed to have thought of something, and casually took out a sword that was completely covered in flowing light from his storage ring. The body of the sword was clear and cold, like a cold pond, frightening one's mind. "I accidentally obtained this sword back then, it's a high grade divine sword … You'll definitely be at a disadvantage when you participate in the Tianlong Clan's Hidden Dragon Grand Tournament this time, if you don't have a high grade divine sword, you'll definitely be at a disadvantage."
"I'll be lending this sword to you for now."
"If you can kill your way into the top three of the Hidden Dragon Grand Tournament, I'll give this sword to you."
Linghu Huan smiled as he spoke, and raised his hand, using invisible divine energy to guide the high grade divine sword in his hand, and sent it in front of Duan Lingtian's main body.
"Elder Huan."
At this time, Duan Lingtian withdrew his doppelgänger of space, and casually put away the high grade divine sword that was floating in front of him. "What you said is equivalent to directly giving this sword to me."
"So confident?"
Linghu Huan's eyes lit up, and then he said mockingly, "You should know that the Tianlong Clan's Hidden Dragon Grand Tournament gathers heroes from all over … As long as anyone under ten thousand years old is willing, as long as they're not a disciple of the Tianlong Clan before, they can participate. Among them, there's no lack of top geniuses from various great Divine Emperor forces. "
"And those top geniuses are mostly High Divine Kings, and their cultivation surpasses yours by a level."
This time, Duan Lingtian didn't say anything, and only smiled slightly, but the confidence in his smile was engraved in Linghu Huan's heart, and he couldn't forget it for a long time.
"We're here."
About four hours later, Linghu Huan's eyes flashed, and then he stood up and put away the Divine Emperor spaceship.
At this time, Duan Lingtian stood in the air, and looked around. He could see many figures gathered in the air around him, and they were all in groups of people. Some were alone, and some were even in groups of twos and threes … From afar, these people seemed to have gathered into a dark cloud that covered the sky and covered the sun.
"They're all here to participate in the Tianlong Clan's entrance examination?"
Duan Lingtian was surprised, and at the same time, he could see from the vast crowd that in front of him that the Tianlong Clan, a God Emperor-level sect, was far more attractive than a God Emperor-level sect.
It had to be known that this was only a God Emperor-level sect that didn't have a single God Emperor-level expert.
If it were a sect that had a God Emperor-level expert, or more than one God Emperor-level expert, what kind of scene would it be?
It wasn't hard to imagine that it would be even more spectacular.
"That's the Tianlong Temple," Linghu Huan said.
Under Linghu Huan's guidance, Duan Ling Tian looked down ahead and saw nine magnificent continuous mountain ranges. The nine continuous mountain ranges were like nine enormous dragons that crisscrossed and shuttled back and forth. Through the sunlight, Duan Ling Tian could vaguely see lights flowing around the outer area of the nine continuous mountain ranges.
Clearly, it was a light screen that announced that the area within the light screen was covered by a formation.
"That should be the Tianlong Clan's Great Sect Protection Formation."
Duan Lingtian thought to himself. "Although the Linghu family once had an outstanding formation master, so the Linghu family's Great Sect Protection Formation is considered the best among all the God Emperor-level sects' Great Sect Protection Formations, it still can't compare to the Tianlong Clan's Great Sect Protection Formation."
"Duan Lingtian."
A voice came to Duan Lingtian's ears. Only then did he realize that a familiar figure had appeared in front of him. It was a tall and imposing middle-aged man.
Behind the middle-aged man were hundreds of people.
Among them were many familiar faces.
They were all inner clan disciples of the Linghu family.
