I wish all my brothers and sisters a happy new year!!
"Grand Elder, you're too kind."
Duan Lingtian didn't take Duan Zhen's heartfelt words seriously.
He'd utterly never thought of asking the Duan Clan to repay him and his mother.
He gave the Duan Clan a Void Advancement Pill today only for the sake of the agreement he made with the Duan Clan that day, and it was only a dispute of interests.
He was only fulfilling his promise from that day.
The Duan Clan was cold and indifferent, he'd seen through it long ago.
After leaving the Duan Clan, Duan Lingtian went to the Divine Might Marquis Estate and gave the last Void Advancement Pill in his possession to Nie Yuan.
"Little Tian, what's this?"
Nie Yuan looked at the medicinal pill that Duan Lingtian passed over with a puzzled expression as he asked curiously.
The medicinal pill flowed with a flowing light, and it was obvious with a single glance that it wasn't an ordinary item.
"Uncle Nie, this is a Void Advancement Pill."
Duan Lingtian shook his head and smiled.
Nie Yuan was instantly stunned when he heard this, then he said with an excited expression, "This … Little Tian, where did you get this Void Advancement Pill?"
"If I said I refined it myself, would you believe me, Uncle Nie?"
Duan Lingtian narrowed his eyes as he asked.
Nie Yuan's excited expression was instantly dumbstruck, and he stared blankly at Duan Lingtian. "Little Tian, this Void Advancement Pill was refined by you yourself? This is a grade five medicinal pill … Only a grade five alchemist is capable of refining a grade five medicinal pill. "
As Nie Yuan finished speaking, his tone had traces of trembling mixed within.
Even though he'd been shocked by Duan Lingtian quite a bit in the past.
But now, he still didn't dare believe it.
Grade five alchemist …
Up until now, not even a grade five alchemist had appeared in their Crimson Sky Kingdom.
Even the Crimson Sky Kingdom's Alchemist Guild's Guild Master, an existence that came from the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom, was only a grade six alchemist.
Hiss!
Duan Lingtian naturally guessed Nie Yuan's thoughts when he saw Nie Yuan's expression, and he lightly smiled. With a flip of his palm, a strand of azure colored flames burned out from the center of his palm.
"Grade five … Grade five pill fire!"
Although Nie Yuan had never seen a Rank 5 Alchemist before, he had never seen a Rank 5 Alchemy Fire before.
However, even if he hadn't eaten pork, he would still have seen a pig run. He had once read about the 'Pill Fire' in an ancient book.
As far as he knew, a Grade Five Pill Fire was cyan in color.
Along with Duan Lingtian withdrawing his hand, Nie Yuan was stunned for a long time before returning to his senses, and he looked at Duan Lingtian as if he was looking at a freak. "Little Tian … No wonder that kid Nie Fen said you're a freak amongst freaks, a freak amongst freaks … Now it would seem that what he said wasn't completely unreasonable!"
Duan Lingtian never would have thought that Nie Yuan would squeeze out such a sentence after holding it in for a long time, and he was instantly speechless.
"A 23 year old Grade Five Alchemist. If news of this were to spread out, not to mention our Crimson Sky Kingdom, even the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom, Darkstone Empire, and even the Darkhan Dynasty would probably be shocked …."
Nie Yuan shook his head and sighed, and his gaze was extremely complicated.
Duan Lingtian smiled faintly.
Darkhan Dynasty?
Not to mention the Darkhan Dynasty, even in the entire Foreign Lands, it was very unlikely for a 23 year old Grade Five Alchemist to appear.
At least, the Samsara Emperor Wu had experienced two lifetimes and encountered countless Grade Five Alchemists.
But the youngest one was already over 30 years old.
According to the memories of the Samsara Emperor Wu, that 30 year old Grade Five Alchemist had already become a Grade Two Alchemist before he relied on the Three Lives Rebirth Technique to undergo his second lifetime of rebirth.
The natural talent of that Alchemist could be imagined.
"Supposedly, a Grade Five Pill Fire requires the Origin Energy of a seventh level Nascent Soul Stage martial artist or above to condense it … Little Tian, could it be that you …."
Nie Yuan looked at Duan Lingtian as if he wanted to confirm something.
"Uncle Nie, your guess is correct. I've already broken through to the seventh level of the Nascent Soul Stage."
Duan Lingtian nodded and smiled to Nie Yuan as he spoke.
Seventh level of the Nascent Soul Stage!
Nie Yuan's mood that had calmed down was once again in turmoil after he obtained Duan Lingtian's confirmation ….
"If your father was still alive and knew that he had such a promising son like you, he'd probably be able to wake up from his sleep with a smile."
Nie Yuan took a deep breath before sighing.
Duan Lingtian's brows raised.
That deadbeat father of his?
When he left the Divine Might Marquis Estate, Duan Lingtian had a heavy load on his mind, and he directly went to look for Li Rou after he returned to the courtyard house.
"Mother, do you know where Father went all those years ago?"
Duan Lingtian asked bluntly.
"Tian, why are you suddenly asking this?"
Li Rou was slightly bewildered.
"I want to go there and take a look … Perhaps I'll be able to confirm if Father is still alive."
Duan Lingtian spoke with a serious expression.
"No!"
Li Rou's face went grim as she directly rejected Duan Lingtian's idea. "You can't go there, absolutely not!"
At this moment, Li Rou's expression was serious and incomparably resolute.
The more Li Rou was like this, the more curious Duan Lingtian was in his heart. "Mother, exactly what sort of place is that?"
"Tian, no matter what, you can't go to that place! Mother has already lost your father, I can't lose you as well. "
Li Rou spoke seriously.
"Mother, what are you talking about …. You won't lose me."
Duan Lingtian shook his head and felt that his mother was worrying too much. "Mother, when Father went to that place that day, his cultivation had only just broken through to the Nascent Soul Stage not long ago …. Now, my strength isn't inferior to Father from all those years ago, and I won't be in danger."
"No!"
Li Rou was unprecedentedly stubborn. "Tian, Mother knows that you want to find your father …. But how could Mother not want to as well? It was just that that place was really too strange. That year, after your father went missing, for the sake of finding him, the Duan Clan sent out a Half-step Void Stage Ancestor to personally head to that place. "
"But later on, even someone as strong as that Ancestor completely vanished without a trace, as if he'd completely evaporated into thin air."
As she finished speaking, Li Rou's eyes revealed a wisp of terror.
Even a Half-step Void Stage existence that entered that place didn't return?
At this moment, Duan Lingtian's heart itched even more unbearably.
Of course, he'd realized that place wasn't simple. "A place that's able to make a Half-step Void Stage expert not return …. Exactly what sort of place is it?"
"Mother, I know …. I never imagined that place would be so terrifying. Don't worry, I won't go. "
Duan Lingtian pretended to have a lingering fear as he spoke.
Li Rou's face finally revealed a smile once again, but Duan Lingtian was instead able to perceive that this smile was forced ….
"Looks like Mother is thinking of that deadbeat father of mine again."
Duan Lingtian sighed in his heart.
"I'll go find out where that place is in the next few days …. After that, I'll stay at home for a period of time before leaving. Otherwise, I'll surely arouse Mother's suspicion. "
Duan Lingtian thought in his heart and made a decision.
He promised his mother earlier that he wouldn't go to that place, and it was only an expedient measure.
He didn't want his mother to be worried.
No matter what, he was going to that place for sure!
"With Little Gold here, I don't believe that within the Crimson Sky Kingdom, there's a place that I, Duan Lingtian, can't enter!"
A wisp of a bright light flashed within the depths of Duan Lingtian's eyes.
Little Gold, a third level Void Prying Stage demon beast that had even comprehended Half-step Advanced Lightning Force ….
Even in the entire Crimson Sky Kingdom, it could be considered to be a top-rate existence.
The next day, Duan Lingtian went to the Divine Might Marquis Estate and looked for Nie Yuan.
"Uncle Nie, do you know where my father went missing all those years ago?"
Duan Lingtian went straight to the point.
As soon as Duan Lingtian finished speaking, Nie Yuan's face went grim. "Little Tian, you absolutely can't go to that place …."
"Uncle Nie, I'm only curious and don't plan on going."
Duan Lingtian was speechless, as he never imagined that Nie Yuan's reaction would be as intense as his mother's.
Of course, he knew that Nie Yuan was concerned about him and didn't have any other intentions.
Nie Yuan heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this. "It's good that you don't plan on going …. Even if a Void Prying Stage martial artist enters that place, they might not be able to come out alive …. All those years ago, a Duan Clan expert that had half a foot into the Void Prying Stage entered that place, and just like your father, he vanished without a trace and vanished from the face of the earth!"
Duan Lingtian nodded, as he found out about this from his mother yesterday.
Before long, under Nie Yuan's narration, Duan Lingtian found out about the place his deadbeat father went missing all those years ago.
That place was a swamp.
It was called the Swamp of Death by the people of the Crimson Sky Kingdom.
Supposedly, fierce beasts were everywhere in the Swamp of Death, and there were even many formidable demon beasts in the depths of the Swamp of Death.
However, the most terrifying thing in the Swamp of Death wasn't these beasts, but the swamp ….
If a person didn't step on the swamp when entering the Swamp of Death, the person would be utterly unable to notice the existence of the swamp.
Many martial artists that entered the Swamp of Death didn't even have the time to go deep before falling into the swamp and becoming nutrients for the earth within the Swamp of Death.
"The Swamp of Death!"
Duan Lingtian's eyes flickered and were filled with yearning.
"Perhaps to other martial artists, the Swamp of Death is an elusive hell …. But under my Spiritual Force, it's a flat ground that has nowhere to hide! Even if the swamp is invisible to the naked eye, I can still use my Spiritual Force to sense it. "
Duan Lingtian was extremely confident about this.
In the following 10 days, Duan Lingtian accompanied by the side of his mother, Li Rou ….
10 days later, Duan Lingtian bid his farewells to Li Rou before leaving the Imperial City.
He didn't bring along Blackjade when he left the Imperial City this time, and only brought along the little gold mouse.
In front of Li Rou, he said that he was returning to Aurora City to visit an old friend.
Li Rou didn't doubt him.
The Swamp of Death was located in the Fair Sun County at the east of the Crimson Sky Kingdom, and it wasn't far from the Imperial City.
With the speed of the little gold mouse, Duan Lingtian only spent an hour to arrive in the sky above the Fair Sun County's County City.
The Swamp of Death was precisely located in the area north of the Fair Sun County's County City.
"Fair Sun County? It seems slightly familiar …. I seem to have heard of it somewhere. "
As he sat on the back of the little gold mouse and looked down at the Fair Sun County City below, Duan Lingtian thought in his heart.
He could be sure that he'd never come to Fair Sun County in the past, and this was the first time he'd come here.
"If you can't remember, then don't think about it …. Little Gold, go over there."
Duan Lingtian pointed towards the north as he spoke to the little gold mouse that had grown larger.
"Squeak squeak ~"
