After listening to Zhen Pingfan's explanation, Duan Lingtian gained a deeper understanding of the Seven Prefectures Feast's purpose.
Everything was for the sake of the Secret Territory in the Saint Land.
The Secret Territory in the Saint Land was the work of an ultimate powerhouse. It contained an opportunity for an Intermediate God Emperor to become an Upper God Emperor. It was enough to make those who had little hope of becoming an Upper God Emperor go crazy.
'No wonder Chunyang School was willing to invest so many resources in me … As long as I can make it into the top ten, it'll be a huge gain compared to what they invested in me.'
Duan Lingtian thought to himself.
Of course, Duan Lingtian knew that if he really made it into the top ten of the Seven Prefectures Feast, Chunyang School would not mistreat him.
Moreover, after returning from the Seven Kills Valley, he had received another batch of cultivation resources from Chunyang School. They were even more generous than the last time.
Duan Lingtian knew that Chunyang School was so generous because he had displayed strength that surpassed Moqi Hong of the Moqi Clan in the Seven Kills Valley.
Previously, Chunyang School had only expected him to make it into the top ten of the Seven Prefectures Feast.
Now, he wanted to make it into the top three.
Of course, even if he did not make it into the top three of the Seven Prefectures Feast, Chunyang School would not blame him. After all, Chunyang School only wanted Duan Lingtian to make it into the top three of the ten.
"Cultivate well and try your best to become stronger … As far as I know, the other two prefectures should have some trump cards up their sleeves for the Seven Prefectures Feast this time."
Zhen Pingfan said to Duan Lingtian with a solemn expression.
He was not worried that Duan Lingtian would be complacent. Instead, he hoped that Duan Lingtian would be mentally prepared.
After spending some time together, Zhen Pingfan naturally realized that although Duan Lingtian was young, he was extremely mature. As expected of a genius who had fought his way from the mundane realm to the Realm of Gods.
"Yes."
Duan Lingtian nodded. He had never underestimated the geniuses from the other six prefectures. Even in Tung Leng Province, he didn't dare to say that the geniuses from the other forces were inferior to Moqi Hong.
Who knew whether or not they had hidden trump cards, all for the sake of winning by surprise at the Seven Prefectures Feast when others were careless!
This was not impossible.
If he hid himself and kept a low profile, he might be able to strike at the critical moment!
If he wanted to trick him, the other party was destined to waste his efforts.
He had experienced too much since he came from the mundane realms. Naturally, he knew that he couldn't underestimate anyone … Sometimes, the slightest mistake could cost him his life!
In the past, the number of people who had died at his hands was not small.
…
The date of the Seven Prefectures Feast was getting closer and closer.
Time passed quickly as the young geniuses of the Seven Prefectures worked hard to cultivate and improve themselves.
In the blink of an eye, there was only half a year left until the Seven Prefectures Feast.
At this time, the various top Emperor God forces in the Seven Prefectures began to make their moves. Most of them were preparing to depart for the Seven Prefectures Feast.
The Seven Prefectures Feast was held once every ten thousand years. It was held in Tung Leng Province, Qing State Prefecture, and the other prefectures.
This time, it was the turn of a prefecture called Mystic Jade Prefecture.
There were a total of six top Emperor God forces in Mystic Jade Prefecture.
One of the Emperor God forces even had an Upper Level Emperor God. He had broken through after the Seven Prefectures Feast two years ago. He had broken through in the Holy Land's Secret Realm.
However, this Upper Level Emperor God was old and did not have many years left to live.
It was said that he had been severely injured during the previous Heavenly Tribulation.
"He broke through to the Upper Level Emperor Realm twenty thousand years ago and was severely injured during the most recent Heavenly Tribulation?"
Duan Lingtian could not help but be shocked when he heard this from Zhen Pingfan. At the same time, he felt that it was somewhat unbelievable.
Even if a Middle Level Emperor God would definitely die during the next Heavenly Tribulation, as long as he broke through to the Upper Level Emperor Realm before the Heavenly Tribulation arrived, it should not be too difficult for him to overcome the Heavenly Tribulation in the next twenty thousand years, right?
"Could it be that he was severely injured by the Heavenly Tribulation before he broke through to the Upper Level Emperor Realm and left behind some hidden injuries? That's why he was dragged down by his old injuries after he broke through to the Upper Level Emperor Realm?"
Duan Lingtian could not help but make such a guess.
"That's not the case."
Zhen Pingfan shook his head. "Before he broke through to the Upper Level Emperor Realm, he was indeed injured. However, a few thousand years after he broke through to the Upper Level Emperor Realm, his injuries completely healed."
"At that time, it was still easy for him to deal with the Heavenly Tribulation."
"However, in the next few thousand years, because his cultivation did not improve, it became more and more difficult for him to deal with the Heavenly Tribulation … Eight thousand years ago, he was injured for the first time. Although it was only a light injury, it was still an injury."
"After that, the injuries he suffered became more and more serious."
…
After listening to Zhen Pingfan's explanation, Duan Lingtian also realized the reason. It turned out that after that person broke through to the Upper Level Emperor Realm, his strength increased very slowly.
In fact, there was even a period of time when he did not improve at all.
"A thousand years of Heavenly Tribulation, each time stronger than the last … Although he broke through to the Upper Level Emperor Realm, he did not manage to catch up with the growth rate of the Heavenly Tribulation. Sooner or later, he would not be able to escape death."
Zhen Pingfan sighed.
When Duan Lingtian heard this, his gaze also became somewhat complicated.
At this moment, he thought of his family members.
In the future, should he let his family members break through to the Divine King Realm? If they broke through, they would have to start fighting against the heavens … If they did not break through, although their strength would be slightly weaker, as long as there were no accidents, they would be able to live forever.
"It's better to let them choose for themselves."
When he thought of his family members, including his own children, who were already adults, Duan Lingtian shook his head for a moment. He felt that there was no need for him to care too much.
Everyone had their own thoughts.
Perhaps, for some people, instead of suppressing their cultivation base and not raising it, it would be better for them to indulge themselves. Even if they died in the end, they would not regret it.
"Elder Zhen, I only know that we'll be leaving in a month … May I know when exactly we'll be leaving?"
The reason Duan Lingtian was with Zhen Pingfan was because the Chunyang School was about to head to the Profound Jade Mansion to participate in the Seven Mansions Banquet.
The Seven Mansions Banquet would not wait for everyone to arrive before it began. It had a fixed date, and usually, one would have to arrive at the destination in advance.
A few days ago, Duan Lingtian had been awakened by the news that he would be leaving the sect in a month's time to head to the Seven Mansions Banquet.
"Nine days later."
Duan Lingtian did not know the exact time, but that did not mean that Zhen Pingfan did not know. It was precisely because the departure time was getting closer and closer that he came to chat with Duan Lingtian. Otherwise, he would not want to delay Duan Lingtian's cultivation.
"Nine days? That's soon. "
Duan Lingtian nodded.
…
In the Devata Realms.
In the Solitary Destructive Heaven.
In the Heavenly Palace.
"Master, how's your main body doing?"
Recently, not only was Duan Ling Tian in closed-door cultivation, but his clone in the lower secondary realms was also in closed-door cultivation to focus on his cultivation.
Although his main body would not be affected if his main body was in closed-door cultivation, his main body was in closed-door cultivation.
However, if his main body was not in closed-door cultivation with his main body, the effect of his main body's closed-door cultivation would be greatly reduced.
After his main body came out of closed-door cultivation, his main body came out of closed-door cultivation as well. Then, he looked for his master, Feng Qingyang's main body, and asked about his master's situation in the Realms of Gods.
"Not bad."
Feng Qingyang smiled faintly and did not say much.
Duan Lingtian did not press the matter. After all, he had asked his master many times about his main body's situation in the Realms of Gods. However, his master did not tell him the details each time.
Naturally, he knew his master was only acting this way because he did not want to worry him. At the same time, he did not want to make up lies to deceive him.
For this reason, Duan Lingtian gave up on asking his master.
"The Seven Mansions Banquet is about to begin, right?"
Feng Qingyang asked.
"Yes."
Duan Lingtian nodded. "There's only half a year left before the Seven Mansions Banquet begins. The Chunyang School will depart in nine days and head to the Profound Jade Mansion where the Seven Mansions Banquet will be held. "
"Are you confident?"
Feng Qingyang asked with a smile on his face.
"Top ten shouldn't be a problem."
Duan Lingtian smiled faintly. "As for top three or even first place … I can't say for sure. After all, no one knows if the other six mansions and the three Grand God Emperor forces in Tung Leng Province have any trump cards up their sleeves.
Sometimes, what's exposed might not be the best. "
…
Nine days later.
Two spaceships appeared outside the Chunyang School's estate.
This time, the two people leading the Pure Sun Sect to participate in the Seven Prefectures Feast were both Middle God Emperors …
One of them was the Old Ancestor of the Hidden Sword Progeny, Ye Chenfeng.
The other person was the Old Ancestor of the Tyrant Saber Progeny, Liu Feng Gu.
Although Liu Feng Gu was not as strong as Ye Chenfeng, he was still slightly stronger than the other Intermediate God Emperors in the Chunyang School.
Two flying ships, one on the left and one on the right, were flying side by side. They were both flying at the speed of a High Level God Emperor.
One of the spaceships belonged to Ye Chenfeng.
The other was Liu Feng Gu's spaceship.
Duan Lingtian, Zhen Pingfan, and the people from the Yun Feng Progeny who were heading to the Seven Mansions Banquet were all in Ye Chenfeng's spaceship.
Lan Xilin's Righteous Progeny was also there.
This time, the leader of the Righteous Progeny was the Old Ancestor of the Righteous Progeny, Lan Zhengming.
"I didn't expect that a good-for-nothing like Lan Xilin would have such a sensible great-grandfather like Elder Righteous."
Today was the first time Duan Lingtian and Lan Zhengming, the Old Ancestor of the Righteous Progeny, had met each other. However, Lan Zhengming's enthusiasm made him feel as if they had known each other for many years.
Moreover, Lan Zhengming had brought Lan Xilin to Duan Lingtian and told him that if Lan Xilin dared to provoke Duan Lingtian in the future, Lan Zhengming could directly kill him and the Righteous Progeny would not hold him accountable.
Lan Xilin's face turned green when he heard Lan Zhengming's words.
If Duan Lingtian went crazy and killed him for no reason, then accused him of causing trouble first …
Wouldn't he die unjustly?
Of course, what Lan Xilin did not know was that the reason Lan Zhengming dared to say this was because he now understood Duan Lingtian and was sure that Duan Lingtian was not that kind of person.
