War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens - Chapter 3994

Chapter 3994 The Seven Mansions Feast Ten Years Later!

Hearing Ye Chen Feng’s heavy sigh, Zhen Ping Fan shook his head and said helplessly, “Junior Uncle Ye, don’t be too greedy. You’re already a genius, and yet, you still want to cultivate another genius?”

Ye Chen Feng glared at Zhen Ping Fang and said, “Brat, how am I greedy? Look at Duan Ling Tian and his master. Just you wait. If nothing happens to Brother Qing Yang, he’ll definitely cause a stir in the Realms of Gods in the future. I can’t speak much about other things, but in terms of Sword Dao, even Duan Ling Tian will find it difficult to surpass his master. It’s almost impossible if you ask me.”

No one understood Feng Qing Yang’s Sword Dao more than Ye Chen Feng did, not even Duan Ling Tian. In Ye Chen Feng’s opinion, Feng Qing Yang’s Sword Dao was peerless. Although Duan Ling Tian’s current attainment in the Sword Dao was not bad, it was not heaven-defying. In fact, Duan Ling Tian’s Sword Dao was still slightly weaker than his. Naturally, this was based on Duan Ling Tian’s past performances. He knew there was a possibility that Duan Ling Tian was hiding his strength, but he thought the chances were low.

Although Ye Chen Feng did not attend the Trading Conference at Seven Kills Valley, he had already watched the recordings of Duan Ling Tian and Wanqi Hong’s fight through a Floating Image Pearl.

Zhen Ping Fan was stunned by Ye Chen Feng’s words. He looked curious as he said, “I’m really curious about what kind of person he is. Even Junior Uncle Ye’s Sword Dao can’t compare to his…” Then, as though he thought of something, he said in a low voice, “Junior Uncle Ye, from what I know, comprehending any of the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth can also help one become a supreme powerhouse in the future, right? Saying that, the requirements for the Sword Dao aren’t low at all. Is it possible for Duan Ling Tian’s master to become a supreme powerhouse in the future?”

Zhen Ping Fan naturally knew it was difficult to comprehend the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth in the Realms of Gods. The natives of the Realms of Gods who comprehended any of the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth were considered future supreme powerhouses. For this reason, he thought this must be the same for Duan Ling Tian’s master as well

Ye Chen Feng thought about Zhen Ping Fan’s question for a moment before he said, “No one knows this for sure, not even me. Both of us have the potential to become supreme powerhouses in the future, but I think Brother Qing Yang has a higher chance than us in becoming a supreme powerhouse.” Then, he looked at Duan Ling Tian before he added, “Even Duan Ling Tian has a better chance than you and me.”

Although Ye Chen Feng knew Duan Ling Tian’s Sword Dao was not comparable to Feng Qing Yang’s Sword Dao, he did not forget Duan Ling Tian’s shocking age.

During his previous visit to the lower realms, Ye Chen Feng had learned a lot about Duan Ling Tian’s past. Most importantly, he learned that Duan Ling Tian was not just younger than 3,000 years old, but Duan Ling Tian was not even 1,000 years old; Duan Ling Tian was only slightly over 700 years old! He learned that Duan Ling Tian had concealed his bone age using a divine pill, making it seem like he was 2,700 years old.

This was one of the things Ye Chen Feng learned that Duan Ling Tian was unaware of. He did not expose Duan Ling Tian because he knew Duan Ling Tian must have his reason for doing so.

“Indeed, comparison is a thief of joy,” Zhen Ping Fang said as he glanced at Duan Ling Tian and shook his head helplessly, “I dream of comprehending any of the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth, but after more than 10,000 years, I’m still nowhere close to doing so. However, you’ve already comprehended the Sword Dao before you turn 3,000. During the Seven Mansions Feast, you’ll definitely attract the attention of supreme-rank forces.”

Previously, Zhen Ping Fang heard of how Duan Ling Tian said his aspiration lay beyond the Pure Yang Sect when Duan Ling Tian was on the Myriad Phenomena Island. At that time, he did not take those words to heart. He dismissed it as Duan Ling Tian’s arrogance due to his talent. However, after learning that Duan Ling Tian comprehended the Sword Dao, he changed his mind. Duan Ling Tian’s current strength alone was enough to attract the attention of supreme-rank forces.

“I’m just lucky,” Duan Ling Tian said with a smile as he shook his head.

Upon hearing this, Zhen Ping Fan glared at Duan Ling Tian and said, “Brat, even if you want to be modest, can you do it in another way? I’ll beat you up if you say those words again! I can accept it if you say you comprehended the rudimentary form of the Sword Dao due to luck, but is the real Sword Dao something you can comprehend by relying on luck?”

After that, Zhen Ping Fang grilled Duan Ling Tian about the Sword Dao. He wondered if he could replicate Duan Ling Tian’s success. He was a little unwilling to give up just like that. After all, it concerned the Sword Dao, one of the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth.

Duan Ling Tian smiled and said, “Elder Zhen, if you’re really interested, you’ll have to wait until you meet my master in the future. He’s now in another Realm of Gods. I’ll introduce you to him if there’s a chance in the future.”

With this, Duan Ling Tian managed to stop Zhen Ping Fan’s barrage of questions about the Sword Dao.

At this time, Ye Chen Feng said, “Duan Ling Tian, if possible, you should strive to rank first during the Seven Mansions Feast. If you’re able to do that, the Pure Yang Sect will be given four slots to enter that place. At that time, I’ll be able to ask the Pure Yang Sect to cultivate you and give you the best resources even if you will leave the sect eventually.”

Duan Ling Tian’s eyes lit up as soon as heard Ye Chen Feng’s words.

The Pure Yang Sect was one of the top forces in the Eastern Ridge Mansion, after all. They had plenty of cultivation resources that could help his cultivation. If they were willing to cultivate him, he would benefit greatly.

“Elder Ye, I’ll do my best!”

Although Duan Ling Tian defeated Wanqi Hong; who was one of the strongest, if not the strongest, among the younger generation in the Eastern Ridge Mansion; he did not consider ranking first during the Seven Mansions Feast at all. He was not even sure if he would be able to rank in the top three. After all, the Eastern Ridge Mansions was not the only one participating in the Seven Mansions Feast. There were bound to be other outstanding prodigies from the other six Mansions.

…

Half a month after Ye Chen Feng, Zhen Ping Fan, and Duan Ling Tian returned to the Pure Yang Sect, the story of Ye Chen Feng killing countless disciples and Wanqi Jue in the Wanqi clan’s estate and possessing a prominent divine artifact with a complete artifact soul had spread far and wide in the Eastern Ridge Mansion. Needless to say, it stirred up a commotion in the Eastern Ridge Mansion immediately, including the Pure Yang Sect.

“Elder Ye’s prominent divine sword has a complete artifact soul now?! He killed Wanqi Jue, a Golden Seat Elder of the Wanqi clan and an intermediate Emperor of Gods, with just a strike from his sword?”

“I heard that Elder Ye’s strength now is comparable to an ordinary advanced Emperor of Gods!”

“I didn’t expect that our sect would have such a powerful person!”

Similar to the disciples of the Pure Yang Sect, the high-ranking officials of the Pure Yang Sect were also discussing this matter.

“Elder Ye is so powerful. As long as he can enter that place after the Seven Mansions Feast, I’m sure he’ll break through and become an advanced Emperor of Gods, right?”

“I think that’ll certainly be the case…”

“With this, our Pure Yang Sect will gain at least one advanced Emperor of Gods!”

“Elder Ye is an intermediate Emperor of Gods now, but his strength is comparable to that of an ordinary advanced Emperor of Gods. He must be among the strongest advanced Emperors of God after he breaks through, right?”

…

Contrary to the jubilant atmosphere in the Pure Yang Sect, the other top forces in the Eastern Ridge Mansion such as the Seven Kills Valley, the Alliance of Benevolence and Justice, and the Dragon Martial Divine Sect were all feeling the pressure. Similar to the Wanqi clan, news of Ye Chen Feng possessing a prominent divine artifact with a complete artifact soul was like a bolt of lightning on a sunny day.

“How did Ye Chen Feng do it? How did he nurture the artifact soul to completion when he’s just an intermediate Emperor of Gods?! I thought only advanced Emperors of Gods are capable of this?”

“There are precedents in the past… Most of those intermediate Emperor of Gods who achieved such a feat had fortuitous encounters…”

“Ye Chen Feng must have had a fortuitous encounter!”

Among the five top forces in the Eastern Ridge Mansion, the Pure Yang Sect was already the most powerful, to begin with, even if the gap between their strengths were not big. However, the gap had widened considerably,overwhelming the other four forces, now that Ye Chen Feng possessed a prominent divine artifact with a complete artifact soul. With this, they placed even greater importance on the Seven Mansions Feast that would start in ten years.

“Even if Duan Ling Tian wins a spot for Ye Chen Feng during the Seven Mansions Feast, we… we don’t know for sure that Ye Chen Feng will definitely become an advanced Emperor of Gods! If we get a spot, we also don’t know for sure that we’ll fail! In other words, there’s still hope for us!”

“In the coming years, I’ll do my best to cultivate the prodigies. I’ll do all I can and give them all I have!”

“If we don’t work harder, then we won’t have any hope of closing the gap between us and the Pure Yang Sect! At that time, the Pure Yang Sect will reign supreme in the Eastern Ridge Mansion.”

With this, the other four top forces in the Eastern Ridge Mansion began to energetically prepare for the Seven Mansions Feast.

…

Meanwhile, in a small independent realm located in a remote canyon in the Eastern Ridge Mansion.

A person was in excruciating pain. Nevertheless, he gritted his teeth and bore the pain as he muttered determinedly, “I must rank in the top ten during the Seven Mansions Feast. I have to kill Duan Ling Tian and Long Qing Chong! Kill! I have to kill them!”

The young man fought with his life in the raging space. His resilience and tenacity were beyond the imagination of the average person. He fell down again and again, and he rose to his feet again and again, surviving under the harsh conditions.

…

At the same time, in the remote canyon outside of the independent realm.

An old man muttered to himself with bright eyes, “I didn’t expect him to be so tenacious. It’s likely that he’ll succeed! His strength will rise to a new level if he succeeds. At that time, he might be able to compete with Duan Ling Tian…”

Soon enough, the old man’s expression darkened when he recalled Duan Ling Tian’s performance in the Seven Kills Valley. “I really didn’t expect Duan Ling Tian to have comprehended the real Sword Dao.”
