"Moreover, the people from the Hidden Sword Progeny who went to Yun Peak to look for Duan Lingtian aren't ordinary people."
Lan Zhengming could not figure it out. Even if the sect thought highly of a brat who had just entered the sect, it did not make sense for the Hidden Sword Progeny to be so friendly with him, right?
"Could it be that Junior Uncle Ye from the Hidden Sword Progeny thinks that if Duan Lingtian can enter the top ten in the Seven Prefectures' Banquet, he'll definitely get a spot? Is that why he asked his people to send some help to Duan Lingtian?"
When Lan Zhengming thought of this, he felt relieved. "If that's the case, it makes sense.
It seems like they think highly of Duan Lingtian. "
Lan Zhengming muttered to himself before he sent a message to Liu Hui, the Righteous Progeny's Elder Ling Xu. "Has the little fellow been behaving recently?"
At this moment, Lan Zhengming was worried that his great-grandson, Lan Xilin, would look for trouble with Duan Lingtian for no reason. Even if he did not look for Duan Lingtian directly, he was worried that Lan Xilin would look for trouble with the two people from the Heaven Illumination Sect.
"Grandmaster, Xilin hasn't gone out during this period."
Liu Hui replied through the Voice Transmission.
"Okay."
Lan Zhengming sighed in relief when he heard that. Then, he added, "If he goes out, you can't let him go alone. Also, if he wants to make a move on Duan Lingtian or the two people from the Heaven Illumination Sect, you must stop him.
If he doesn't listen, send me a message. I'll tell him personally. "
Lan Zhengming's tone became much more solemn when he reached the end of his sentence.
Before Liu Hui could reply, he added, "Right now, it's not only the sect that sees him as their hope, but the Hidden Sword Progeny also sees him as their hope. Junior Uncle Ye must have instructed his people to send him a few resources.
"You should know what this means," Li Tianlan said.
Before the Seven Prefectures' Banquet begins, not only will the sect not allow anyone to go against him, but the Hidden Sword Progeny will not allow it as well. "
"The sect might care about my reputation, but the Hidden Sword Lineage might not. You also know that person from the Hidden Sword Faction. He wants to do things his own way. Of course, he has the qualifications to do so. After all, he is the most promising person in the sect to enter the Upper Divine Emperor Realm, or even the Supreme God Realm! "
Originally, Liu Hui was surprised by Lan Zhengming's words. He didn't expect that the Duan Lingtian of Yun Peak's lineage would make his Grandmaster so apprehensive.
Now, when he heard the last part of his Grandmaster's words, his expression turned serious. At the same time, he vowed solemnly, "Don't worry, Grandmaster. I definitely won't let Celine mess around."
"With you in charge, I can rest assured."
Lan Zhengming said again before cutting off the communication with Liu Hui.
…
Ping Sheng's branch was also one of the branches that had Void Pierce Stage elders in Chunyang School.
Although this branch had a Mid Divine Emperor like a Void Pierce Stage elder, there was no other Divine Emperor under him. It was also the only branch that didn't have a Quiet Void Elder among the seven branches that had Void Pierce Stage elders in Chunyang School.
However, even though there was no Lower Divine Emperor or Quiet Void Elder in Ping Sheng's branch, there was a Jade Void Elder. His strength was very close to the God Emperor Realm and he could become a Lower Divine Emperor at any time.
He was also recognized as the most promising person in Chunyang School to become a God Emperor.
His name was' Yuan Hanjin '. He was the adopted son of the old ancestor of Ping Sheng's branch, the Void Pierce Stage elder' Yuan Pingsheng '.
Even though he was adopted, Yuan Pingsheng, who had never married or had children, treated him like his own son. He taught him everything without holding back anything.
As for Yuan Hanjin, he also had a status that was only below one person and above thousands of people in Ping Sheng's branch.
"Master, are you looking for me?"
In a courtyard in a quiet valley, a tall and handsome young man was standing in front of a pavilion. He respectfully bowed to a middle-aged man who was sitting indifferently in the pavilion.
The middle-aged man had a medium build. His appearance was ordinary and resolute. His eyes were bright and full of spirit.
He was the first Jade Void Elder of Chunyang School and the son of the old ancestor of Ping Sheng's branch, Yuan Hanjin.
Yuan Hanjin looked at the young man and asked indifferently, "You should have heard that Duan Lingtian, a disciple of the Tianlong Clan, has joined the sect, right?"
Hearing his master's question, the young man was stunned for a moment. Then, he nodded and said, "Yes."
At this moment, Yuan Hanjin added, "I've only recently heard that Duan Ling Tian has quite a bit of enmity with the Myriad Devil Sect. Many of your elders even died because of him."
"Among them, there are two people you see as your own brothers, Du Pojun and Du Qianjun."
Yuan Hanjin looked deeply at the young man and said, "Are you thinking about how to avenge them?"
"I dare not!"
Hearing this, the young man's expression changed. He hurriedly bowed his head, but his body was trembling.
"Even if you dare, you are no match for him."
Yuan Hanjin said indifferently.
The young man was the son of the Myriad Devil Sect's Sect Leader, Yang Qianye. When he heard his master's words, a bitter smile appeared on his face.
Yes.
Even if he wanted to take revenge for his former elders, for his childhood friend whom he viewed as his own brother, he didn't have the strength to do so even if he was given the chance.
With Duan Lingtian's current strength, he knew that he was far from being a match for him.
"How's your cultivation recently?"
Yuan Hanjin asked. "How far do you think you have traveled from the Lower Divine Emperor to the Middle Divine Emperor?"
Yang Qianye replied quickly, "I am useless. I have only traveled less than one-fifth of the way."
"Too slow."
Yuan Hanjin shook his head.
Yang Qianye was silent.
"Originally, I didn't expect you to rank highly in the Seven Prefectures' Banquet …"
Yuan Hanjin said slowly, "After all, your strength is still lacking. Among the prodigies of the Seven Prefectures' Banquet, you can only rank at the bottom.
After all, the prodigies of the Seven Prefectures' Banquet are all at least Divine Emperors. "
Yang Qianye lowered his head even more when he heard Yuan Hanjin's words. "I am useless. I have embarrassed you, master."
Yuan Hanjin shook his head. "To be able to become my disciple, you naturally have your own strengths. Your strength has not caught up to mine because you have limited cultivation resources in the past.
Didn't your strength increase by leaps and bounds when you entered the Chunyang School?
As for that Duan Lingtian, there's no need for you to compare yourself to him. Based on my understanding of him, he must have had a fortuitous encounter. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to achieve so much in such a short time. "
Speaking of which, Yuan Hanjin looked at Yang Qianye sharply. "Originally, I had the resources to help you become a Medium Divine Emperor before the Feast of the Seven Mansions, and improve the Dharma Principles you are good at."
However, I wasn't confident you would be able to pass the test.
"Do you know … how did the Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters before you die?"
Yang Qianye's eyes lit up when he heard Yuan Hanjin's first sentence.
However, when he heard the second sentence, his brows furrowed slightly.
Now, after hearing the last sentence, his expression changed instantly. "Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters, could it be that … they died in the trial that master mentioned?"
Yang Qianye had always thought he was lucky.
He entered the Chunyang School and became the disciple of Yuan Hanjin, the Jade Void Elder.
Although Yuan Hanjin was not a Quiet Void Elder, a Divine Emperor, he could become a Quiet Void Elder at any time.
After becoming his disciple, he also heard that there were actually not only two Senior Brothers before him, but also a few other Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters, but all of them died prematurely.
All of them had died when they were Lower Divine Emperors.
As for the reason, there were many different opinions in Ping Sheng's lineage. However, no one had a definite answer.
"That's right."
Yuan Hanjin nodded. At the same time, a hint of disappointment appeared on his face. "I discovered that place in the early years. At first, it was open to those below the Middle Divine Emperor level. Later, the resources there were lost, and it could no longer withstand the power of those above the Middle Divine Emperor level. Only Lower Divine Emperors and those weaker could enter.
The weaker the person, the more dangerous it is in there. Your Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters died in there one after another.
One of them almost succeeded. However, he was just one step away from death. "
When Yuan Hanjin reached the end of his sentence, a hint of regret and pain could be seen in his eyes. After all, they were all his disciples.
"Was it worth it?"
Yang Qianye asked in a low voice.
Even if there were great opportunities in such a dangerous place, was it worth risking one's life for?
"Was it worth it?"
Yuan Hanjin looked at Yang Qianye with a deep gaze. "Whether it was worth it or not depends on the person. Your Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters entered the place willingly.
Even for you, I'm just mentioning it to you. I won't force you to enter.
Although I hope that my disciples can become dragons and phoenixes, I don't want them to die.
If it was in the past, I wouldn't have mentioned this to you. After a few experiments, I've discovered that if one doesn't have a strong will and isn't afraid of death, it's very difficult to come out alive.
"I only mentioned this to you because I found out about the hatred you might have for Duan Ling Tian."
If you don't hate the Duan Lingtian, I won't support you entering. It's too dangerous. However, if there's a seed of hatred, it might strengthen your will and give you a chance. "
Yuan Hanjin said.
When Yang Qianye heard this, his eyes flashed a few times. Then, he asked in a low voice, "Master, does that place only allow me to improve my cultivation and comprehension of the law?"
In his opinion, if that was the case, it was only a matter of time. He did not care if he became a Medium Divine Emperor earlier or later.
Even if he became a Medium Divine Emperor, he might not be stronger than the Duan Lingtian.
However, Duan Lingtian's talent and comprehension ability were obviously better than his. It would be difficult for him to catch up with the Duan Lingtian.
"If that's all, I wouldn't have let my disciples enter so many times."
Yuan Hanjin shook his head and said, "Although your senior brothers and sisters died outside, they still sent me a message in time … According to four of the six of them, they discovered that their potential had increased."
Their cultivation speed has increased, and their comprehension of the law has also increased.
However, they didn't make it and died inside … "
As he spoke, Yuan Hanjin let out a long sigh.
