"Yes, Mom."
Duan Lingtian nodded.
Even if Li Rou didn't say anything, he would still go to the Divine Might Marquis Estate to pay a visit to the Divine Might Marquis, Nie Yuan.
In the past, Nie Yuan had given him too much help on his path of growth.
He'd always engraved this kindness in his heart.
On that day, Duan Lingtian accompanied his mother, Li Rou, for an entire day, and only at dawn on the second day did he leave with the little gold mouse and head towards the Divine Might Marquis Estate.
During these past few years, the guards at the entrance of the Divine Might Marquis Estate had changed many batches of guards, so they didn't recognize Duan Lingtian.
However, when the guards saw Duan Lingtian's extraordinary bearing, they didn't dare be disrespectful and asked politely. "Young Master, may I know why you've come to our Divine Might Marquis Estate?"
"Please help me pass on the message that Duan Lingtian requests an audience with the Divine Might Marquis."
Duan Lingtian lightly smiled to the guards as he slowly spoke.
Duan Lingtian?
Unexpectedly, as soon as Duan Lingtian finished speaking, the faces of the guards went pale. "You … You're Duan Lingtian?"
"What? Is there someone impersonating me?"
Duan Lingtian shook his head and smiled.
"No … No … Young Master Ling Tian, please follow me, please follow me."
One of the guards hurriedly shook his head, not daring to let Duan Lingtian wait outside, and he brought Duan Lingtian into the Divine Might Marquis Estate.
The other few guards that stayed behind looked at Duan Lingtian's disappearing figure, and their faces slightly flushed red.
Only when Duan Lingtian's figure vanished before their eyes did they finally react and look at each other. "I've heard of this Young Master Ling Tian since long ago. Now that I've seen him today, he really deserves his reputation … Supposedly, he was once the Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard."
"That day before I entered the Divine Might Marquis Estate, Young Master Ling Tian's reputation was like thunder piercing my ears … The rare strategic genius of Paladin Academy's Star Mastermind Department, and he didn't expend a single soldier to destroy the Southern Champion Kingdom's Southern Barbaric City! Not only that, his natural talent in the Martial Dao is even unprecedented in our Crimson Sky Kingdom. "
"It's said that young master Ling Tian is also an alchemist."
. "" Supposedly, Young Master Ling Tian is also a weapons craftsman … .He once bet his life on weapons refinement with someone in the Swallow Mountain County's County City, and he forcefully crippled a large clan in the Swallow Mountain County's County City! "
"Even now, the legends of Young Master Ling Tian are still spread throughout the entire Crimson Sky Kingdom … .I truly never imagined that I would be able to see Young Master Ling Tian in my lifetime. I've truly lived a life that wasn't in vain."
"I heard that Young Master Ling Tian went to the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom later on and joined one of those formidable sects. He probably returned this time for the sake of visiting his family. "
"I've long heard that our Divine Might Marquis Estate has an extremely good relationship with Young Master Ling Tian … .Now, the news of Young Master Ling Tian's return hasn't spread out, yet he's already come to our Divine Might Marquis Estate. This is sufficient to show the importance of our Divine Might Marquis Estate in Young Master Ling Tian's heart."
…
The guards discussed animatedly, and the more they spoke, the more excited they became.
Duan Lingtian followed the guard and quickly arrived outside the Divine Might Marquis Estate's Audience Hall.
From afar, Duan Lingtian was able to see that within the Divine Might Marquis Estate's Audience Hall, there was a figure walking back and forth, and the figure seemed to be extremely anxious ….
After stopping the guard that wanted to report Duan Lingtian's arrival, Duan Lingtian lightly smiled to him. "I'll go in myself. Thank you for your trouble."
"Young Master Ling Tian, you're too kind."
When facing the courteous Duan Lingtian, the guard had a flattered expression as he turned around and left.
Duan Lingtian walked in large strides towards the Audience Hall.
Meanwhile, he saw two robust figures ….
The robust middle aged man stood within the Audience Hall, seeming to be calm.
The other young man was walking back and forth, seeming to have encountered something that caused him to be extremely troubled.
"Big Brother Nie, what's wrong?"
Duan Lingtian didn't inform him beforehand and directly walked in large strides into the Audience Hall as he laughed heartily.
"Who is it?!"
Duan Lingtian's silent appearance alarmed the two people within the Audience Hall, causing their faces to go pale.
Two fierce gazes swept towards Duan Lingtian at the same time.
In next to no time, when these two gazes descended onto Duan Lingtian, they instantly melted ….
"Little … Little Tian?"
The Divine Might Marquis Nie Yuan, who stood deep within the Audience Hall, was the first to react, and he had a pleasantly surprised expression.
Although a few years had passed, Duan Lingtian's appearance hadn't changed much, and he'd only matured slightly.
"Little Tian, it's really you!"
Nie Fen, who was walking back and forth earlier, had stopped when he saw Duan Lingtian appear, and he had a pleasantly surprised expression.
"Uncle Nie, Big Brother Nie."
Duan Lingtian nodded and smiled to Nie Yuan and Nie Fen. "Long time no see."
"Haha … Little Tian, when did you return?"
Nie Yuan walked up in pleasant surprise, and he asked as he walked.
"I just returned yesterday."
Duan Lingtian smiled.
"Little Tian, you really came back at the right time … Hmph! This time, let me see how complacent that Sun Ascent Kingdom's envoy is! So what if he's at the first level of the Nascent Soul Stage … Compared to you, Little Tian, he's surely inferior to trash. "
Nie Fen had an excited expression, and as he finished speaking, the corners of his mouth curled into disdain.
Sun Ascent Kingdom?
Duan Lingtian's brows raised. Looks like what he heard in the restaurant today was true.
The Sun Ascent Kingdom's envoy had brought along three outstanding young geniuses from the Sun Ascent Kingdom with the intention of challenging the young geniuses of the Crimson Sky Kingdom, and wanted to use this to bring down the dignity of the Crimson Sky Kingdom ….
"Little Tian, what's your cultivation now?"
Nie Yuan looked at Duan Lingtian, and his eyes were filled with curiosity.
That day, before Duan Lingtian left the Crimson Sky Kingdom, he'd revealed peerlessly monstrous natural talent, and in the entire Crimson Sky Kingdom, it could be said to be unprecedented.
Now, a few years had passed, and as far as he was concerned, Duan Lingtian who had joined a sect in the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom and possessed an even better cultivation environment had surely grown to an extent that was sufficient to shock him ….
"Father, I've already stepped into the ninth level of the Origin Core Stage now. With Little Tian's natural talent, he's surely surpassed me now … Dealing with the young geniuses brought by the Sun Ascent Kingdom's envoy is extremely easy! Little Tian, you ought to have at least broken through to the second level of the Nascent Soul Stage now, right? "
Nie Fen's words were filled with confidence towards Duan Lingtian, and as he finished speaking, he looked at Duan Lingtian with an expression of anticipation.
Duan Lingtian lightly smiled, then abruptly took a step forward.
Origin Energy raged on his body as it rose up.
Whoosh!
Instantly, numerous ancient mammoth silhouettes condensed into form in the sky above Duan Lingtian, and more and more ancient mammoth silhouettes gathered ….
After a short moment, the number of ancient mammoth silhouettes stopped increasing.
"Eight …. The strength of 800 ancient mammoths!"
Nie Yuan looked at the 800 ancient mammoth silhouettes that appeared in the sky above Duan Lingtian, and he had an astonished expression as his heartbeat quickened.
Although he'd guessed since long ago that Duan Lingtian's current strength was sufficient to shock him to the extreme, he never imagined that it would be so shocking ….
In a short few years, this nephew of his had already broken through to the sixth level of the Nascent Soul Stage?
If he didn't remember wrongly.
This nephew of his seemed to be only 23 years old this year, right?
Sixth level of the Nascent Soul Stage at the age of 23 ….
What sort of monster was this?
Even Duan Lingtian's father, Duan Rufeng, the number one figure in the younger generation of the Crimson Sky Kingdom all those years ago, seemed to have only just broken through to the first level of the Nascent Soul Stage when he was 27 years old ….
Compared to Duan Lingtian, the accomplishments of his father, Duan Rufeng, were completely not worth mentioning!
"Sixth … Sixth level of the Nascent Soul Stage …."
Nie Fen stood on the spot, dumbstruck, and his mouth was unable to close for a long time.
Similar to Nie Yuan, he was completely stunned by Duan Lingtian's cultivation.
A 23 year old sixth level Nascent Soul Stage martial artist ….
He didn't even know what words to use to describe Duan Lingtian.
Monstrous or abnormal seemed to already be unsuitable for the current Duan Lingtian.
"A pervert among perverts!"
In the end, Nie Fen finally thought of a word that could describe Duan Lingtian ….
Duan Lingtian possessed such accomplishments at such an age, and calling him abnormal amongst abnormal wasn't the slightest bit excessive.
After a long time, Nie Yuan and Nie Fen returned to their senses.
"Little Tian, you must enter the palace with me tomorrow and properly teach that first level Nascent Soul Stage young genius that the Sun Ascent Kingdom's ambassador brought over … Let him experience the true genius of our Crimson Sky Kingdom!"
Nie Fen looked at Duan Lingtian and rubbed his palms together, as if he'd already seen the scene of Duan Lingtian completely crushing the young genius brought over by the Sun Ascent Kingdom's ambassador.
"Hmph! You don't cultivate properly and your skill is inferior, yet you want to use Little Tian to teach him a lesson …. Don't you feel ashamed? "
Nie Yuan looked at Nie Fen and grunted coldly.
Nie Fen laughed bitterly. "Father, it's not like you didn't see …. Forget about the other two people brought over by the Sun Ascent Kingdom's ambassador. In terms of age, that first level Nascent Soul Stage martial artist is a few years older than me. If I was the same age as him, I guarantee to completely crush him. "
"Age?"
Nie Yuan glared angrily at Nie Fen. "You still have the nerve to speak of age? Then do you want to compete in age with Little Tian? The gap between you and Little Tian seems to be even greater than the gap between you and the person brought over by the Sun Ascent Kingdom's ambassador, right? "
"Father, you …. Aren't you bullying me by comparing Little Tian with me?"
Nie Fen was completely helpless.
Comparing himself with Duan Lingtian was completely looking for a beating.
This was something he was already well aware of all those years ago.
"Uncle Nie, Big Brother Nie, what's actually going on with that Sun Ascent Kingdom's ambassador?"
Duan Lingtian asked curiously.
Even though he'd heard of the matter of the Sun Ascent Kingdom's ambassador intentionally provoking them, yet he didn't know the sequence of events.
"Actually, it's not a big deal …."
Nie Yuan said slowly. "That Sun Ascent Kingdom is a kingdom adjacent to the west of our Crimson Sky Kingdom, and it's always lived in harmony with our Crimson Sky Kingdom … This time, the Sun Ascent Kingdom sent over an ambassador, and we originally thought it was only a visit between friendly kingdoms, yet we never imagined that he actually proposed a suggestion of allowing the young geniuses of the two kingdoms to have a friendly match on the spot."
"It wasn't good for his Majesty to object, so he agreed … During these past few days, there was news that spread out that one of the three young geniuses of the Sun Ascent Kingdom brought over by the Sun Ascent Kingdom's ambassador had actually broken through to the first level of the Nascent Soul Stage."
When he spoke up to here, Nie Yuan sighed. "Originally, it wasn't a big deal even if we lost. The problem is that his Majesty and the Sun Ascent Kingdom's ambassador actually used three years of taxes as the wager for this friendly martial competition …"
"Hmph! That Sun Ascent Kingdom's ambassador obviously came prepared and set a trap for his Majesty … But, he probably never imagined even in his dreams that you would return, Little Tian. "
