Chapter 1047: A Hurried Departure
One thing Duan Ling Tian was certain of was the after-effect would become stronger every time he was devilified by the Devilseal Tablet.
'If I use the Devilseal Tablet a few more times... will I be completely controlled by my emotions that are becoming more and more intense?' Duan Ling Tian thought to himself as cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"Oh, boss! His Majesty asked me to hand these few things to you." Li Xuan took out a few Spatial Rings and fragments from his own Spatial Ring before handing them over to Duan Ling Tian.
There were two fragments that were particularly eye-catching among all the fragments. Those two were none other than the Profundity Fragments that came from the Martial Monarchs of Anicca Sect and North Nether Sect, Bai Yu Hai, and Feng Tong.
As for the Profundity Fragment from Tong Shan the Martial Monarch of Izumo Sect, Duan Ling Tian had already taken it along with the Spatial Ring after he killed him.
There was a glimmer of surprise in Duan Ling Tian's eyes. "I didn't think His Majesty knows how to remove the fragments from their bodies."
Martial artists at the Void Transformation Stage or above would produce Concept Fragment in their bodies. Although this was a common knowledge, Duan Ling Tian was still surprised that people from the Crimson Sky Kingdom knew about this.
"Hehe... From what I heard, His Majesty ordered for their bodies to be cremated, and these things appeared after the cremation. His Majesty felt they're important so he wants me to pass them to you when you're awake." Li Xuan chuckled.
Duan Ling Tian finally understood.
It seemed as though even the Emperor of the Crimson Sky Kingdom did not know what Concept or Profundity fragments were.
Indeed.
Even if the Crimson Sky Kingdom's Emperor did not take the fragments for himself, he would have at least asked for a piece or two from Duan Ling Tian if he knew the value of these Concept and Profundity fragments.
"I'll take these two fragments and the Spatial Rings. I'll leave the remaining for you and the Divine Might Marquis' estate." Duan Ling Tian kept the two Profundity Fragments from Bai Yu Hai and Feng Tong's bodies and the Spatial Rings. He did not take the few Concept fragments.
"For me and the Divine Might Marquis' estate?" Li Xuan was stunned. He did not understand what Duan Ling Tian meant by that.
"Little Tian... Don't tell me these things are something extraordinary?" Meng Ping had a bewildered look on her face.
"Grandmother Meng, you're the Sect Leader of Fly Bow Sect. Fly Bow Sect is a sect from the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom. Don't tell me you've never heard of Concept fragments?" Duan Ling Tian asked as he looked at Meng Ping. He was puzzled.
Concept Fragments!
Duan Ling Tian's words struck Meng Ping like a bolt of lightning. After a moment, she finally asked excitedly, "L-Little Tian, did you say t-these are Concept fragments?"
Meng Ping was in a daze when she saw the assortment of fragments in different colors shining brightly in Li Xuan's hands.
"Yes." Duan Ling Tian nodded. "These are Concept fragments. Moreover, they're all high-level Concept fragments. As long as you comprehend the corresponding Concept, you can use them to quickly raise your Concept up to the Void Transformation Stage."
"It really is Concept fragments!" Although Meng Ping had never seen a Concept fragment before, she had read about it in some ancient books in the sect. She knew these were the things that came from Void Transformation Stage powerhouses.
"Wait a minute!" Meng Ping was suddenly hit by a pang of realization. She looked at Duan Ling Tian in shock. "L-Little Tian, as far as I know, Concept fragment comes from a Void Transformation Stage powerhouse's body. A-Are you saying that t-those mysterious powerhouses were actually Void T-Transformation Stage powerhouses?"
Meng Ping narrowed her eyes, and her breathing quickened when she reached the end of her sentence.
"That's right!" Duan Ling Tian nodded.
Meng Ping was not the only one who was dumbstruck, even Li Xuan was gaping with his eyes widened.
"T-These things are from Void Transformation Stage powerhouses?" Li Xuan stared at the fragments in his hand. His heart beat faster and faster as Meng Ping's words echoed in his head. He could not calm down at all.
Void Transformation Stage powerhouse!
How powerful was that person?
Let alone the Crimson Sky Kingdom, even the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom and the Darkstone Empire did not have a Void Transformation Stage powerhouse. It was said that even in the Darkhan Dynasty, a Void Transformation Stage powerhouse was as rare as a phoenix's feather.
Li Xuan knew his boss was strong!
However, it did not cross his mind that his boss would be able to defeat a Void Transformation Stage powerhouse!
Initially, he thought his boss was only strong among the younger generation in Darkhan Dynasty. However, he found out today his boss was even capable of killing Void Transformation Stage powerhouses.
'It seems like there are not many people who can defeat Boss in the entire Darkhan Dynasty,' Li Xuan thought to himself.
Li Xuan would not think this way if he knew that any one of the owners of the Concept fragments in his hands could destroy the entire Darkhan Dynasty all on their own.
"Boss, Grandmother Meng, what's the purpose of the Concept fragments?" Li Xuan asked curiously as he looked at the fragments in his hand. He had a feeling that these things that came from the Void Transformation Stage powerhouses' bodies were not ordinary.
Soon after, Li Xuan learned from Meng Ping what Concept fragments were, and what they were used for.
"It can help a martial artist to raise his Concept rapidly? Something like a spirit fruit that can raise the cultivation base?"
For a time, Li Xuan's eyes shone brightly as his breathing quickened again. The fat on his body and face moved constantly with the fluctuation of his mood.
He finally realized the value of the fragments in his hands.
"Boss, you're sure you want to give the fragments to me and the Divine Might Marquis' estate? You don't want them for yourself?" Li Xuan asked as he looked at Duan Ling Tian. He took a deep breath to suppress the excitement in his heart.
"No, I don't." Duan Ling Tian shook his head before he looked at Meng Ping with an apologetic smile on his face. "Grandmother Meng, I'm afraid I have to leave now. Please help me bid Grandfather Nie, Uncle Nie, and Big Brother Nie goodbye."
Duan Ling Tian did not wait for Meng Ping and Li Xuan to respond as he vanished without a trace before their eyes with Feng Tian Wu in tow. It was as though they were never there.
Duan Ling Tian's speed was so fast that Meng Ping and Li Xuan could not react in time.
Both of them smiled wryly when they finally regained their senses.
"Boss has left again... I wonder when I'll see him again," Li Xuan said with a sad face.
"It seems like Little Tian don't intend to greet them before he leaves." Meng Ping sighed. She could guess what Duan Ling Tian planned to do.
It was obvious Duan Ling Tian planned to leave the Crimson Sky Kingdom, but she had no idea why he was in such a hurry.
However, she had a faint idea the reason he left in such a hurry had something to do with Feng Tian Wu.
...
"Although only Tian Wu's soul is wounded and her body is not seriously injured, it's still not suitable for her to be exposed to the air for a long time. It's best to protect her body with the 1,000 Year Frost. It'll be even better if there's a 10,000 Year Frost!" Duan Ling Tian carried Feng Tian Wu as they left the Crimson Sky Kingdom and made his way to the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom.
"I'll look for Xiong Quan first." He decided to search for Xiong Quan whom they had unintentionally left behind.
During the journey, Duan Ling Tian's Spiritual Energy continued to probe the situation inside Feng Tian Wu's body. "The Fire Spirit Body's energy inside Tian Wu's body has already been fully suppressed. Moreover, the Fire Spirit Body's energy has also merged with her Origin Energy that resulted in her making a breakthrough in her cultivation base. The Fire Spirit Body's energy is not fully depleted. It's still rotating together with the Origin Energy in her body. Tian Wu's cultivation base is still progressing rapidly!"
Soon after, Duan Ling Tian learned of the circumstances in Feng Tian Wu's body.
Feng Tian Wu was previously at the Fourth Level Void Transformation Stage.
After the suppressed Fire Spirit Body's energy merged with her Origin Energy, she had used it all up. It helped her raise her cultivation base rapidly.
The progress was far better than consuming a spirit fruit.
In just one month, Feng Tian Wu's cultivation base had successfully made a breakthrough to the Ninth Level Void Transformation Stage with the help of the suppressed Fire Spirit Body's energy.
"If this goes on, it's only a matter of time before Tian Wu breaks through to the Void Transformation Stage," Duan Ling Tian concluded.
"However, how did the Fire Spirit Body's energy get suppressed?" Duan Ling Tian frowned. He felt puzzled by this.
According to the Rebirth Martial Emperor's memory, there were only two ways to suppress the Fire Spirit Body's energy.
The only guarantee to not be devoured by the Fire Spirit Body's energy before the age of 30 was to fully suppress it.
One of the methods was to search for someone with Water or Ice Spirit Body under the condition that both individuals' gender had to be male. One would be able to suppress the Fire Spirit Body's energy after conducting the yin and yang reconciliation.
The second method is to cultivate until that person's cultivation base made a breakthrough to the Void Transformation Stage since one could suppress the Fire Spirit Body's energy with the help of the Void Transformation's Origin Energy.
"However, the Fire Spirit Body's energy inside Tian Wu is not suppressed by those two methods..." Duan Ling Tian frowned as he recalled the situation that had happened a month ago.
"I remember before I lost consciousness, the Fire Spirit Body's energy from Tian Wu's body had rushed into my body and chased away the energy from the Devilseal Tablet. I remember I regained control of my body right before I lost consciousness. Before I regained control of my body, the black energy that devilified me entered Tian Wu's body... Could the energy be suppressing the Fire Spirit Body's energy inside Tian Wu's body?"
The more he thought about it, the more he certain he became.
"Looks like the Fire Spirit Body's energy in Tian Wu's body is indeed suppressed by the energy I emitted when I was devilified. I didn't expect to be the one who helped Tian Wu break away from her fate of not living past 30 years old." Duan Ling Tian smiled wryly.
