In the Linghu family.
Linghu Renjie had a solemn expression on his face after he ended the Voice Transmission with Duan Ling Tian. It was a stark contrast to the calm expression he had when Duan Ling Tian had sent him the Voice Transmission.
Someone had threatened Duan Lingtian that if Duan Lingtian dared to enter the top ten of the Hidden Dragon Competition, they would take his life.
Although he also felt that there was a high chance that someone was joking.
Nevertheless, he had to be cautious.
"I didn't expect that at such a critical moment, there would still be …"
Linghu Renjie sighed. Then, he took out a jade slip that was enshrouded in a mysterious light and crushed it. He then muttered, "I only hope that I didn't delay her matters."
At this moment, a silhouette appeared in Linghu Renjie's mind. It was a beautiful silhouette, a beautiful woman.
However, in the blink of an eye, the beautiful woman changed. She became a young lady, a little girl. "I really didn't expect that … The girl who used to chase after me in the past would grow to such an extent today."
"What exactly did she experience when she went to the World of Divine Remains?"
"She seems to have changed completely when she came back this time."
As Linghu Renjie sighed, a hint of heartache flashed across his eyes. "She must not have had a good time these years … It's a pity that she's too stubborn and refuses to say anything."
…
Duan Lingtian was unaware of the situation on Linghu Renjie's side.
After he brought Miss Seven to Xue Haichuan's place, he left sensibly without waiting for Xue Haichuan to speak. He returned to his temporary residence in the Firing Dragon Mountain Range.
As for the three elders of the Linghu family, he had already informed them, so there was no need for him to bid them farewell.
However, to Duan Lingtian's surprise, when he returned to his temporary residence, Hou Qingning was standing outside waiting for him. "Why aren't you going back to your room? Why are you standing here waiting for me?"
"Duan Lingtian."
But now, Hou Qingning seemed to have changed into a different person. He was no longer as frivolous as before. His face was solemn and serious. "Was it your idea?"
"Hmm?"
Duan Lingtian was puzzled. What did he mean? He didn't understand.
"Did you ask her to send someone to find my father and ask him to propose marriage to the Murong family?"
Hou Qingning asked grumpily.
Fortunately, his father had not acted on his own. Otherwise, he would still be in the dark. However, according to his father, if this matter was not resolved properly, it would not be good for their Ten Thousand Leaves Sect.
"Aren't you interested in her?"
Duan Ling Tian came to a sudden understanding, and only now did he realize what Hou Qingning was talking about. "Isn't this just right?"
When Hou Qingning heard this, his expression softened quite a bit, but his gaze was still unkind. "I've already asked Third Miss … You've been instigating her since long ago."
"To think that I misunderstood and thought that you really …"
Hou Qingning didn't finish his sentence, but Duan Lingtian couldn't help but laugh. "Why aren't you continuing? If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have known that you have such deep feelings for her. "
"Speaking of which, you should thank me."
"If this was my hometown, you would have to give me a referral fee."
Duan Lingtian smiled.
Duan Lingtian's hometown was naturally the Yan Huang Realm's earth, not the mundane realm's Saint Region Realm.
Hou Qingning glared at Duan Lingtian when he heard this, but he didn't continue the topic. "I'm not waiting for you here entirely because of this."
"Duan Lingtian, I've heard many people say that with your and Hua Tiandu's performance this time, the strongest God Emperor forces in Tung Leng Province will probably send people to invite you to their place."
"What do you think?"
"Do you want to stay in the Tianlong Clan or go to their place?"
Hou Qingning asked.
This was also the reason why he was standing here and waiting for Duan Lingtian to come back.
"We'll see."
Duan Lingtian was stunned for a moment, but then he smiled casually.
Hou Qingning asked this question because when he sent Seventh Miss to Xue Haichuan's place, Xue Haichuan had also asked him about it and didn't really recommend him to go.
Although the development there was better and the competition there was greater, sometimes it wasn't a matter of competition.
If Duan Lingtian went there, it would be fine if he was willing to take the initiative to look for a backer, but Xue Haichuan saw that Duan Lingtian didn't intend to become a disciple of anyone.
This situation was disadvantageous to Duan Lingtian.
In fact, this was similar to what Duan Lingtian had thought before.
A large part of the reason why he tried to keep a low profile was because of this.
"We'll see when the time comes?"
Hou Qingning frowned slightly. "Duan Lingtian, I feel that this matter isn't urgent … In the Tianlong Clan, you can rely on the Linghu family and Elder Xue Haichuan.
"But if you go to those god emperor-level forces, with your character, even if you don't offend them, I'm afraid you'll be in trouble. It's not good for you.
"I suggest that before you break through and become a god emperor, there's no need to go to those forces."
Hou Qingning gave the same suggestion as Xue Haichuan.
"I'll think about it."
Duan Lingtian nodded but didn't give Hou Qingning a definite answer. Finally, under Hou Qingning's worried gaze, he returned to his room.
"If those god emperor-level forces really send people … should I go?"
After returning to his room, Duan Lingtian sat cross-legged on his bed and considered this question seriously.
"Brother Haichuan and Hou Qingning's suggestions are good … However, apart from my innate talent and comprehension, I also have the ability to refine pills.
If I keep the fact that I can refine limited King Grade Divine Pills, those god emperor-level forces will fight to get me to join them.
After all, even an emperor grade divine pill master would find it difficult to refine King Grade Divine Pills. "
Duan Lingtian weighed the pros and cons in his heart.
Why had he come to the Realm of Gods in such a hurry?
Wasn't it to improve his strength so that he could enter the World of Divine Offering three hundred years later, rescue Ke 'er, and gain the recognition of the family behind Ke' er?
'I'll think about it carefully … Whether it's staying in the Tianlong Clan or joining one of those god emperor-level forces, there are pros and cons.
I'll weigh the pros and cons before I make a decision.
For now, I should wait for the rewards of the Hidden Dragon Grand Competition. '
With this thought in mind, Duan Lingtian was no longer in a hurry. He calmed himself down and closed his eyes to cultivate.
That night, apart from the three elders of the Linghu family, the people from the other god emperor-level forces, and the elders of the Tianlong Clan's new disciples were brought away from the Tianlong Temple.
Early the next morning, Dongfang Yannian, the white dragon elder of the Tianlong Clan, appeared and brought Duan Lingtian and the other new inner sect disciples to the cultivation area of the Tianlong Clan's inner sect disciples.
As for the outer sect elders, they were brought away by another white dragon elder.
"In the Tianlong Clan, to become an inner sect disciple, the God King Stage is the threshold. However, not everyone can become an inner sect disciple after becoming a God King. It also depends on the profundities one has comprehended."
Along the way, Dongfang Yannian spoke frankly with assurance.
"Perhaps all of you came from god emperor-level sects … In god emperor-level sects, above the inner sect disciples are the core disciples. In our Tianlong Clan, above the inner sect disciples are the Azure Dragon disciples. "
"Any inner sect disciple under the age of ten thousand can challenge the Azure Dragon disciple test. If they succeed, they will become an Azure Dragon disciple."
"Azure Dragon disciples enjoy much better treatment in the sect compared to inner sect disciples … Let's not talk about anything else. Just take the Secret Chamber of the Laws of the sect as an example. Unless an inner sect disciple uses a large amount of sect contribution points to exchange for time to cultivate, they won't be able to enter under normal circumstances. Azure Dragon disciples can enter the Secret Chamber of Laws to comprehend the laws for free every year. "
When Dongfang Yannian spoke up to this point, the eyes of many people, including Duan Lingtian, lit up.
They had all heard of Azure Dragon disciples before coming here.
However, it was the first time they had heard of the exact treatment.
"In our Tianlong Clan, there aren't many Azure Dragon disciples. Currently, there are only seventy or so people, and the upper limit is a hundred … During the most glorious time, the number of Azure Dragon disciples exceeded a hundred. At that time, the requirement to become an Azure Dragon disciple wasn't just to pass the test, but also to defeat one of the Azure Dragon disciples in order to replace them and become a new Azure Dragon disciple."
"Unlike now, where you only need to pass the test to become an Azure Dragon disciple."
As Dongfang Yannian finished speaking, many people became restless.
Dongfang Yannian had also noticed this. "Many of you have a chance to become an Azure Dragon disciple … For example, Duan Lingtian and Hua Tiandu. As long as they participate in the test, if nothing unexpected happens, they will definitely become Azure Dragon disciples."
"As for Ji Wuchang, Du Pojun, Seventh Young Lady, and the others, they also have a chance."
"This year's Hidden Dragon Competition is the most dazzling competition in the history of the Tianlong Clan. It's enough to be recorded in the history of the Tianlong Clan … For example, in the previous Tianlong Grand Competition, the person who obtained first place at that time only had strength comparable to the few of you."
As Dongfang Yannian spoke up to here, he glanced at Ji Wuchang, Du Pojun, Seventh Young Lady, and the others.
In an instant, even more people's gazes landed on Duan Lingtian and Hua Tiandu.
These two people were, without a doubt, monsters among them.
"We've arrived."
Soon, Dongfang Yannian's voice sounded. At this time, Duan Lingtian also saw that they had arrived within a vast and narrow canyon.
On the two sides of the canyon, there were many courtyards with individual houses hidden within. Moreover, in front of these courtyards, there were some blank stone tablets, and some had stone tablets with names carved on them.
"You can all occupy the courtyards with blank stone tablets in front of the courtyards. However, before you occupy them, you must carve your names on the stone tablets."
"This way, you can avoid being disturbed and conflict."
Hearing Dongfang Yannian's words, everyone nodded.
At the center of the canyon, there was an enormous palace. Many people were going in and out, and it seemed to be quite lively.
"That's the Internal Affairs Hall … The word 'internal affairs' in the Internal Affairs Hall represents the meaning of inner sect missions, and not another literal meaning."
When he saw Duan Lingtian and the others' gazes land on the palace, Dongfang Yannian timely opened his mouth to explain. "If you want to earn sect contribution points, you can go inside and accept missions."
