"It's settled?"
They'd just left the Inscription Formation and returned to the gorge when Duan Lingtian heard Feng Wu Dao's voice.
"Yes."
Duan Lingtian lightly smiled as he nodded, and he seemed as if he'd encountered something good, causing him to seem refreshed.
"Then let's depart."
Feng Wu Dao nodded and condensed his Origin Energy into an enormous sword once more, and it carried the group of four including himself to soar into the sky before flashing out to head directly towards the Darkhan Dynasty.
On the way, Duan Lingtian who'd finished dealing with all the trivial matters had finally calmed down completely.
He held the Wind Concept Fragment in his hand as he calmed his heart and comprehended Wind Concept.
Presently, the improvement of his Origin Energy and the assistance of the Rebirth Pill had already arrived at the limit of the ninth level of the Void Initiation Stage.
What he wanted to do was to comprehend Intermediate Concept and smoothly break through to the Void Interpretation Stage!
The journey was calm all along the way, and Duan Lingtian's group smoothly returned to the Darkhan Dynasty's Capital and returned to the Feng Clan.
Duan Lingtian temporarily stayed in the Feng Clan Estate and calmed his heart to comprehend Wind Concept.
Of course, he'd occasionally leave the Feng Clan Estate with Feng Tianwu and wander around the Capital to purchase some materials required for weapons refinement, medicine refinement, and inscriptions.
So long as there was a large scale auction held in the Capital, Duan Lingtian would go with Feng Tianwu to join in the fun, and they obtained many rare materials.
Unknowingly, three months had passed.
Duan Lingtian and Feng Tianwu had just left an auction house when Feng Tianwu couldn't help but ask. "Elder Brother Duan, you seem to be extremely happy when you bid for that strange iron earlier? Is there anything different about it? "
"Tian Wu, that piece of iron I obtained and combined with the materials I gathered earlier … So long as I become a grade two Weapons Craftsman, I'll be able to rely on them to refine a grade two spirit weapon!"
Duan Lingtian smiled.
Grade two spirit weapon?
A Second Grade Weapon Craftsman?
Feng Tianwu was slightly shocked, but in next to no time, she recalled that Duan Lingtian was already a grade three weapons craftsman now, and she couldn't help but feel relieved.
"No wonder Elder Brother Duan is so happy. It turns out that you have half a Grade Two Spirit Artifact in your hands."
Feng Tianwu was happy for Duan Lingtian.
"In another month or so, it'll be the day we depart to the northern desert to participate in the Martial Competition of the Ten Dynasties … At that time, I wonder if we must go with the others."
Duan Lingtian's eyes flashed as he muttered to himself.
"Elder Brother Duan, you don't want to go with them?"
Feng Tianwu asked.
"I'd like to walk around on my own. It's freer that way."
Duan Lingtian smiled.
Besides the various Dynasties, there was only the boundlessly vast Foreign Lands outside the Darkhan Dynasty.
When they left this time, Duan Lingtian really wanted to walk and stop by himself to fully enjoy the scenery on the way and gain tempering at the same time. Only in this way would it be more interesting.
If he were to follow the group, then the journey wouldn't be decided by him.
"Then I'll go back and tell Father … At that time, we won't go with the others."
Feng Tianwu said.
"Mmm."
Duan Lingtian replied, and then he said with a smile, "Let's return first."
During these past few days, Duan Lingtian's mood was extremely good.
Because he'd already completely touched the threshold of ninth level Wind Concept, and he was confident that he would be able to completely comprehend ninth level Wind Concept within three days.
Once he comprehended ninth level Elementary Wind Concept, then he would have the opportunity to come into contact with first level Intermediate Wind Concept. At that time, his Origin Energy would naturally transform into the Origin Energy that belonged to Void Interpretation Stage martial artists.
Some people are happy, some people are worried.
These words weren't wrong in the slightest.
While Duan Lingtian was feeling happy about his Wind Concept that was about to transform, the Imperial Palace wasn't calm at all.
In the depths of the Imperial Palace, within the dazzling Audience Hall, the Darkhan Dynasty's Emperor sat upright at the seat of the host. His expression was slightly gloomy, and his gaze that was like a bolt of lightning descended onto a black clothed old man. "Imperial Uncle, I want to hear your opinion."
The black clothed old man's brows knit together tightly as he said slowly, "I'm truly unable to wrap my head around this … Not to mention Imperial Brother is a cautious person and wouldn't easily make a move if he didn't have absolute confidence. Even if Feng Wu Dao was really able to follow by Duan Lingtian's side, he might not be able to protect Duan Lingtian! According to my knowledge, Feng Wu Dao hasn't broken through to the Void Transformation Stage. "
"Based on the current situation, something has probably happened to Grand Imperial Uncle … Otherwise, why hasn't Duan Lingtian returned three months ago?"
The Emperor's tone was low and deep. "There are only two possibilities for something to happen to Grand Imperial Uncle. Firstly, he was killed by Feng Wu Dao. Secondly, he was killed by another expert."
"But, even if Feng Wu Dao caught up and broke through to the Void Transformation Stage in these past two years … He might not be a match for Grand Imperial Uncle. Otherwise, how could the Feng Clan be beneath our Imperial Family? So, I feel that the possibility of Feng Wu Dao killing Grand Imperial Uncle is extremely small. "
The Emperor finished speaking in a single breath, yet his brows were tightly knit together.
If it wasn't Feng Wu Dao, then who was it?
Moreover, if something really happened to Grand Imperial Uncle, then once the news of this spread out, their Darkhan Dynasty's Imperial Family would surely be in a precarious situation and might even be replaced.
His Grand Imperial Uncle was the guardian of the Darkhan Dynasty's Imperial Family, and he was the Darkhan Dynasty's greatest reliance to deter everyone.
"Perhaps, Imperial Brother has encountered something, so he hasn't returned for now … Besides Feng Wu Dao, I can't think of a second person in the Darkhan Dynasty that's capable of threatening Imperial Brother."
The black clothed old man continued. "No matter what, this news must be sealed and must not be spread out."
"Don't worry Imperial Uncle, besides himself, only you and I know of the matter of Grand Imperial Uncle making a move against Duan Lingtian … So long as you and I don't say anything, there's absolutely no third person that knows of this matter."
The Emperor spoke again.
Bang!
Within a spacious Pavilion, within a spacious courtyard, a white clothed young man fiercely smashed the teacup in his hand into pieces.
"Brother."
Nearby, the beautiful young woman that was watering the flowers was shocked by the white clothed young man.
"Yan, I'm sorry, Brother accidentally smashed the teacup."
The white clothed young man was precisely Zi Shang, and he squeezed out a trace of a smile that was even more unsightly than crying to the young woman before returning to his room.
"Brother …"
The beautiful young woman, Zi Shang's younger sister, Zi Yan, couldn't help but be slightly worried when she saw this scene, and she muttered. "You're angry because of that Duan Lingtian again?"
When she thought up to here, a trace of helplessness flashed within Zi Yan's beautiful eyes.
After he returned to his room, Zi Shang's expression instantly went gloomy, and he grunted. "That Duan Lingtian is really lucky, he's actually still alive now … Could it be that his Majesty didn't make a move against him?
"He left the Capital for almost two months and missed such a good opportunity … Now, it's even more difficult to kill him!"
Zi Shang was slightly enraged, and he didn't know what the Darkhan Dynasty's Emperor was doing.
At that time, after being instigated by him, the Emperor had obviously aroused interest in the incomplete Devilseal Tablet in Duan Lingtian's possession. But now, after almost five months, the Duan Lingtian was still alive and well.
"There's no need to be impatient."
Right at this moment, a ghastly and aged voice sounded out in Zi Shang's mind. "Even if the Darkhan Dynasty's Imperial Family doesn't make a move against him, could it be that you're worried you won't have an opportunity in the future?"
"You're about to leave the Darkhan Dynasty and head to the boundlessly vast Foreign Lands … Not to mention anything else, once you arrive at the Foreign Lands, so long as you spread the news that the Devilseal Tablet in Duan Lingtian's possession can provide a 10% amplification to the powers of the Foreign Lands, they'll similarly be interested in the Devilseal Tablet."
"That Duan Lingtian won't be able to jump around for long. Spread the news to the powers of the Foreign Lands and allow them to obtain the broken Devilseal Tablet. Even though it's comparatively difficult for you to seize it back from them in the future, it's better than leaving it in Duan Lingtian's hands. "
The ghastly and aged voice continued to sound out, and it caused Zi Shang's eyes to light up as if he was suddenly enlightened.
"Elder Ghost is wise! I don't believe that the powers of the Foreign Lands would be as cowardly as the Darkhan Dynasty's Imperial Family … Duan Lingtian, wait for my great gift to you. "
Unknowingly, the gloominess on Zi Shang's face had completely dispersed, and replacing it was a dense smile.
But no matter how one looked at this smile, it caused one to feel slightly cold.
Feng Clan Estate, within the estate within the estate.
It had already been two days since he returned from the auction house the last time. During these two days of time, Duan Lingtian didn't take a step out of his room, and it was even to the extent that he didn't eat.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, the spacious room was instantly enveloped by a strong wind that arose out of thin air, and the strong wind ceaselessly swept out, causing the windows to intensely tremble and emit creaking sounds.
Finally.
Bang!
The window at the side of the room was instantly pushed open by the strong wind. Subsequently, the strong wind seemed to have found an outlet and directly gushed out of the window, causing the flowers and plants in the courtyard outside the window to sway.
Right at this moment, the strong wind that was powerless to continue gradually vanished.
Whereas the strong wind that was interrupted was completely taken back by a person within the room.
On the bed in the room, Duan Lingtian sat cross-legged there, and his body was suffused with strands of almost material azure colored energy. The azure colored energy coiled around his body, causing Duan Lingtian's entire body to seem slightly illusory.
Suddenly, Duan Lingtian opened his eyes, and a bright light flashed within them.
At the same time, Duan Lingtian's body lightly shook, and the azure colored energy that coiled around his body whistled as it flashed out.
Every time it flashed out, it caused the airflow in the air to lightly tremble and emit a wave of light and oppressive whistling sounds.
Whoosh!
At the same time, everywhere the strands of material azure colored energy flashed in the air, it caused the energy of the heavens and the earth to shake.
In the end, the phenomenon of the heavens and the earth was forcefully condensed into form in the sky above Duan Lingtian.
A total of nine ancient horned dragon silhouettes.
The strength of nine ancient horned dragons was the symbol of ninth level Elementary Concept.
"Ninth level Elementary Wind Concept … I've finally succeeded!"
A smile of excitement bloomed on Duan Lingtian's face. The hard work of these past few months wasn't wasted in the end.
"Presently, I'm only a step away from the Void Interpretation Stage … I have the assistance of the Rebirth Pill in terms of Origin Energy, so there's no need to worry. What I lack is the comprehension of Concept. "
