"Vice Sect Leader Xue, it's time for you to give me what you promised me."
A black-robed figure appeared in the residence of the Tianlong Clan's vice sect leader, Xue Mingzhi, and spoke to Xue Mingzhi.
Xue Mingzhi's expression was a bit unsightly. "Did you do something? Did you remind Xue Haichuan to escort Duan Lingtian to Honorary Elder Sikong?"
Even to Xue Mingzhi, the Deputy Sect Leader, Sikong was a mystery.
He only knew that Honorary Elder Sikong had been personally invited back by the sect leader, and that the sect leader seemed to have a good relationship with him. Even if he only appeared as an elder of the Black Dragon Clan, his strength should only be comparable to an elder of the Black Dragon Clan.
But even so, if possible, he didn't want to rashly provoke him.
After all, he was backed by the sect leader.
"Vice Sect Leader Xue, do you think there's any point in me doing this?"
The black-robed figure coldly replied. "I've done everything you asked me to do. Now, Vice Sect Leader Xue, you're hesitating again and again. Are you going to go back on your word?"
As he spoke, the black-robed figure's expression became colder and colder.
"Hmph!"
Xue Mingzhi coldly snorted and flicked a storage ring. The black-robed figure casually caught it. After verifying its ownership, he let out a satisfied laugh. "Thank you, Vice Sect Leader Xue."
"From today onwards, you and I have nothing to do with each other."
The black-robed figure's figure flickered, and he left like the wind.
Not long after the black-robed figure left, Xue Mingzhi sent out a message. "Duan Lingtian is currently with Honorary Elder Sikong. I'll have people monitor that place. If Duan Lingtian doesn't have a Godking by his side, I'll notify you to go kill him."
This message was for the inner sect elder, Kuang Tianzheng.
"I'll be waiting for Vice Sect Leader Xue's good news."
Kuang Tianzheng's tone was indifferent as he responded with a lack of interest.
After replying, his lips curled into a mocking smile. "Do you really think that Duan Lingtian is a fool? Judging from the current situation, he obviously intends to wait until he breaks through to the Divine Emperor Realm before leaving."
"With his talent, and the fact that he can easily concoct top-level king-level divine pills, he has also taken Emperor Connecting Divine Pills."
"I'm afraid it won't even take a hundred years for him to break through to the Divine Emperor Realm and consolidate his cultivation."
In Kuang Tianzheng's opinion, once Duan Lingtian broke through to the Godking realm, it would be meaningless for him to take action. At that time, he wouldn't have the confidence to kill Duan Lingtian in one blow.
And if he couldn't kill in one strike, once he was targeted by the Black Dragon Elder who was patrolling the surroundings, he wouldn't be able to escape death.
After Duan Lingtian had stayed with Consecrator Sikong Ye for two months, a beautiful figure came looking for him.
It was Sikong Ye's daughter, Sikong Yue.
Sikong Yue was Sikong Ye's only daughter. Duan Lingtian could feel how much Sikong Ye doted on her when he heard Sikong Ye's promise to him in the past.
"Duan Lingtian, I didn't expect you to come here."
Seeing Duan Lingtian again, Sikong Yue was no longer as domineering as before. Her beautiful eyes flickered with joy.
"Miss Sikong."
Duan Lingtian greeted Sikong Yue with a smile. "I'm here because of Ding Yan's help to give me a safe place to stay."
"It's also because Consecrator Sikong is willing to take me in."
Duan Lingtian said.
"Ding Yan."
Sikong Yue slightly raised her eyebrows, then shook her head and said, "Duan Lingtian, even if you don't look for Ding Yan, as long as you ask, I can ask my father to let you come here."
"My father really admires geniuses like you."
"For example, Elder Xue Haichuan is one of the people he admires."
"In fact, before you appeared, Elder Xue Haichuan was the person he admired the most in the Tianlong Clan. However, your appearance has overshadowed Elder Xue Haichuan."
Sikong Yue said.
"For the time being, I don't dare to compare myself with Brother Haichuan."
Duan Lingtian shook his head and smiled. He then went straight to the point and asked, "Miss Sikong, is there anything you need from me?"
"Seeing that Consecrator Sikong has taken me in, as long as it's within my ability, I will definitely not refuse."
Duan Lingtian said.
"Really?"
Sikong Yue's eyes flashed with joy.
"Except for the Divine Pill."
Before Sikong Yue could continue speaking, Duan Lingtian spoke first, "Of course, I'm not trying to hide it."
"But I want to tell Miss Sikong that my level in the Divine Pill Dao is actually very ordinary. The reason why I can refine a King Grade Divine Pill is because I'm naturally sensitive to the life force in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. There's no other reason."
"In the Tianlong Clan, there are plenty of Divine Pill Masters with higher attainments in the Divine Pill Dao than me. If Miss Sikong really wants to find a good teacher, the Old Clan Leader is a very good choice."
"I heard that Consecrator Sikong has a good relationship with the Clan Leader. With the Clan Leader's help, I'm sure the Old Clan Leader won't be stingy with his guidance."
Duan Lingtian's words sealed Sikong Yue's mouth the moment he spoke.
Sikong Yue frowned slightly, "How did you know that I want to ask you about the Divine Pill Dao? My father told you."
Duan Lingtian remained silent.
"It seems like father really did tell you."
Sikong Yue shook his head and said, "Duan Ling Tian, I've never dabbled in the Divine Pill Dao. I just want to find a master who can guide me. I'm not looking for an outstanding teacher."
"Therefore, I feel that you're more than qualified to be my teacher."
Sikong Yue smiled.
As Sikong Yue spoke, her eyes flashed with a trace of craftiness, as if everything was under her control.
"I'm afraid that's still not possible."
Duan Lingtian smiled bitterly, "Miss Sikong, I've been busy with my cultivation recently. Recently, I'm at the critical juncture of breaking through to the Divine Emperor Realm. Therefore, I'm afraid that I won't be able to help you."
"You should find another teacher."
Duan Lingtian tactfully rejected Sikong Yue's request.
As for Sikong Yue, after hearing Duan Lingtian's words, her originally excited expression finally turned a little ugly, "Duan Lingtian, if you want to reject me, just say it. Why do you need such an excuse?"
"You're at the critical juncture of breaking through to the Divine Emperor Realm? How long has it been since you broke through to the Upper God King Realm?"
"Even I broke through to the Upper God King Realm a long time before you, but I'm still far from that step."
"You said that you've already reached that step. Do you think that I, Sikong Yue, am that easy to bully?"
After saying those words, Sikong Yue turned around and left furiously.
"Miss Sikong."
Just as Sikong Yue was about to leave, Duan Lingtian called out to her.
Sikong Yue's figure stopped moving. She, who had her back facing Duan Ling Tian, thought that Duan Ling Tian had gone back on his word, and a wisp of delight appeared on her beautiful face that was originally filled with rage.
In an instant, two conflicting emotions flipped.
Of course, Duan Lingtian couldn't see it.
"Is there anything else?"
Sikong Yue asked. Her tone was much gentler, no longer as overbearing as before.
"Actually, there's nothing else."
Duan Lingtian shrugged his shoulders and said, "I just want to tell Miss Sikong that the number of women my heart can accommodate is limited. Now, it's already full."
"I will no longer like or love another woman."
If it was at any other time, Duan Lingtian would surely be more tactful.
But after Sikong Ye's reminder earlier, Duan Lingtian didn't intend to be tactful. He directly spoke and didn't take Sikong Yue's feelings into consideration in the slightest.
As far as he was concerned, cutting the Gordian knot would allow him to better complete Sikong Ye's task.
As soon as Duan Lingtian finished speaking, Sikong Yue's body shook.
After a short moment, Sikong Yue turned around. At this moment, her beautiful eyes seemed to be covered in a layer of frost. "Duan Lingtian, aren't you thinking too highly of yourself?"
"Do you really think that I, Sikong Yue, am pestering you because I like you?"
"You think too highly of yourself."
"Even if I, Sikong Yue, am lonely until I die, I won't take a fancy to you, Duan Lingtian."
As soon as she finished speaking, Sikong Yue soared into the sky and left with a face filled with shame and indignation.
Of course, no one could see that in the depths of her eyes, there was a faint trace of pain. But it soon disappeared and was replaced by determination.
The feelings that had just sprouted were cut off by her own hands.
"Many thanks."
After Sikong Yue left, a sigh and a voice of gratitude sounded out by Duan Ling Tian's ears.
It was the voice of Sikong Yue's father, Sikong Ye.
"I owe you a favour."
Sikong Ye said.
After Sikong Ye's voice faded, Duan Lingtian bitterly smiled and sighed. "I better make the best use of my time and break through to the Divine Emperor realm."
"Once I break through to the Divine Emperor realm, I won't need to stay here and seek Consecrated Elder Sikong's protection anymore."
Now that he had shed all pretense of cordiality with Sikong Yue, Duan Lingtian felt awkward and uncomfortable if he continued to stay here and seek Sikong Ye's protection.
What Duan Lingtian didn't know was that after he said those harsh words to Sikong Yue, Sikong Yue had left and entered the God King battlefield again.
It was as if she was venting something and running away from something.
Of course, Duan Lingtian didn't know all of this.
After Duan Lingtian obtained the last medicinal ingredient that the Tianlong Clan's Clan Master searched for, he refined a divine pill and continued to cultivate in seclusion.
He had completely forgotten about the time while cultivating.
Time flew by. Spring left and autumn came. Spring left and autumn came again.
In the blink of an eye, two years had passed.
The fighting in the God King battlefield was getting more and more intense.
The fall of God Kings had become the norm.
Even the speed and scale of the fall of Divine Emperors was constantly increasing.
Almost everyone's eyes were focused on the God King battlefield.
In the God King battlefield, without Duan Lingtian and Greater One Sect's Ximen Longxiang, it had become much fairer. No one was able to gain much of an advantage.
Tianlong Temple.
Somewhere.
"Duan Lingtian has already left Consecrated Elder Sikong's place of cultivation. He's now heading towards the entrance of the God King battlefield alone."
Under the orders of the Tianlong Clan's Vice Clan Master Xue Mingzhi, the Inner Sect Elder Kuang Tianzheng, who had always wanted to enter the God King battlefield but couldn't, received a message from Xue Mingzhi.
"Duan Lingtian has come out."
"Moreover, he's alone."
Kuang Tianzheng was stunned. Disbelief was written all over his face. This was different from what he had imagined.
Duan Lingtian couldn't hold back for two years.
