Chapter 4126: An Advanced Emperor of Gods
At the same time, Duan Ling Tian's heart stirred when he recalled that his Fourth Senior Sister was already an advanced Emperor of Gods despite being under 10,000 years old. Compared to the two Holy Sons who were rudimentary Emperors of Gods, she was even more monstrously talented.
Duan Ling Tian sighed inwardly when he thought about his Fourth Junior Sister who had a difficult past. Perhaps, her current achievements were due to her past and dedication.
Duan Ling Tian's Third Senior Brother, Yang Yu Chen, was also just as talented. He also became an advanced Emperor of Gods before reaching the age of 10,000 and went on to become a Supreme God when he was just slightly over 10,000 years old. It had to be said that entering the realm of a Supreme God was extremely difficult. After all, it was the last realm before one became a supreme powerhouse.
After a moment, Duan Ling Tian asked curiously, "Third Senior Brother, are there prodigies below the age of 10,00 like Fourth Senior Sister who are also advanced Emperors of Gods in the Profound Energy Land?"
Duan Ling Tian only knew that his Fourth Senior Sister, Lang Chun Yuan, was an advanced Emperor of Gods below the age of 10,000 in the Myriad Laws Academy. Although he was not very sure about the other heavyweight supreme-rank forces or prime supreme-rank forces in the Profound Energy Land, he thought it was likely that there were others like Lang Chun Yuan in those forces.
"Of course," Yang Yu Chen said, confirming Duan Ling Tian's thoughts, "Put the other forces aside, there's also an advanced Emperor of Gods below the age of 10,000 in our academy's Legacy faction. The other heavyweight supreme-rank forces naturally have such a prodigy. However, some of the forces might hide their existence. As for prime supreme-rank forces, most of them have more than one of them. This isn't surprising since prime-rank forces have better resources than heavyweight supreme-rank forces."
Yang Yu Chen looked at Duan Ling Tian before he asked, "I'm sure you've heard that there's only a minor difference in overall strength between prime and heavyweight supreme-rank forces, right?"
Duan Ling Tian nodded and said, " It's said since prime and heavyweight supreme-rank forces both have advanced Supreme Gods, the difference in their strength isn't big."
Upon hearing these words, Yang Yu Chen smiled wryly as he said, "The truth is, the difference in strength is rather huge. Just the number of advanced Supreme Gods in those forces alone is on a different level. It's just that most advanced Supreme Gods in prime supreme-rank forces live in seclusion. Some people think they're dead and some know they're alive. They rarely make an appearance. As such, most members of their respective forces have never even seen them before."
It was only at this time that Duan Ling Tian realized how wide the chasm was between prime and heavyweight supreme-rank forces. No wonder prime supreme-rank forces did not lack places like the Trial of Gods to cultivate the younger generation. With all these factors, no wonder the overall strength of heavyweight supreme-rank forces could not compare to that of prime supreme-rank forces. As it turned out, rumors of there only being a small difference in strength between the forces only started because those advanced Supreme Gods from prime supreme-rank forces kept their existence hidden most of the time.
"If there's nothing important in the coming 100 years, why don't you return to cultivate in your cultivation ground in our Inner Palace faction's independent realm? The Legacy faction won't have the courage to act against you after being warned by the Academy Master, but I'm worried the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation might ask their disciples to look for trouble with you. With the right threat and reward, it's not difficult to find an Emperor of Gods to sacrifice his or her life just to kill you," Yang Yu Chen said worriedly, "Before you killed Wang Yun Sheng and the others, the congregation wasn't aware of your hatred toward them. After all, you didn't retaliate. However, now that you made a move and tore off all pretenses, they definitely won't let you go. It doesn't matter that you signed a death pact and had the right to kill them. At most, they would have to make a move against you in the dark."
Yang Yu Chen did not disclose to Duan Ling Tian that the Holy Sons of the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation, who were rudimentary Emperors of Gods, would be arriving in the Myriad Laws Academy very soon. When they arrived, it was likely that they had already broken through and become intermediate Emperors of Gods. He did not want Duan Ling Tian to challenge the duo. After all, the duo was far superior to Wang Yun Sheng.
"I'll do whatever I can to help with your cultivation in the next 100 years. Since you're an alchemist, let me know if you need any medicinal herbs to refine divine pills. Although your strength is incredible at your age, it won't give you an advantage in the Trial of Gods. It's best if you're able to become an advanced Lord of Gods before entering the Trial of Gods."
As an intermediate Lord of Gods, Duan Ling Tian was only comparable to ordinary rudimentary Emperors of Gods. If he became an advanced Lord of Gods, he would have an edge over rudimentary Emperors of Gods.
Duan Ling Tian did not refuse Yang Yu Chen. Instead, he said, "Third Senior Brother, I share the same thoughts as you."
Duan Ling Tian was aware that killing Wang Yun Sheng and the others was tantamount to declaring war on the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation. There was no doubt that the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation would seek revenge. After all, in the past, Duan Ling Tian only refused to join their congregation, but they destroyed and killed everyone related to him in the lower realms. One could only imagine what they would do now that he killed five of their young prodigies, one of which was a Holy Son.Fortunately, the Myriad Laws Academy served as a deterrent so the congregation did not dare to act excessively in the open. For now, the congregation was likely waiting for the Legacy faction to get rid of him. However, when they eventually learned that the Legacy faction would not make a move against him after being warned by the Academy Master of the Myriad Laws Academy, the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation would definitely take matters into their own hands.
A hint of relief could be seen on Yang Yu Chen's face when he heard Duan Ling Tian's words. Then, he said with a hint of complaint, "I wish Fourth Junior Sister is as sensible as you."
Duan Ling Tian was slightly surprised. "Third Senior Brother, isn't Fourth Senior Sister rather easy to get along with?"
"Easy to get along with?" Yang Yu Chen shook his head as he thought to himself, 'She's only nice to you because you're her junior brother...'
Lang Chun Yuan did not listen to the members of the Inner Palace faction except for their Eldest Senior Sister. She had never listened to Yang Yu Chen or their Second Senior Brother. However, she had taken a liking to Duan Ling Tian after he joined the Inner Palace faction.
...
As Duan Ling Tian expected, a few months after he returned to the Inner Palace faction's independent realm, the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation learned about the reason why the Legacy faction did not make a move against Duan Ling Tian.
"That old geezer, Su Bi Lie, personally warned the Legacy faction and prohibited them from making a move against Duan Ling Tian? Is it because of Yang Yu Chen? Is he determined to make Yang Yu Chen his successor? Isn't he worried those old men in the Legacy faction will rebel?"
Lu Tian Feng, the Vice Leader of the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation, was naturally displeased and disappointed when he found out about the Legacy faction's situation. He had been anticipating an exciting show between Duan Ling Tian and the Legacy faction, and he did not expect Su Bi Lie to intervene.
Lu Tian Feng scoffed. "Since the Legacy faction is unreliable, we'll just have to find someone to do the dirty job. The Legacy faction isn't the only place in the academy where we can find Emperors of Gods to do the job."
Lu Tian Feng's eyes glinted coldly as he relayed his order to his subordinate.
Shortly after that, a few members of the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation left the estate. They carried with them the information of several members of the Myriad Laws Academy who were Emperors of Gods. These people were teachers and students who were either sectless cultivators or from ordinary supreme-rank forces and insignificant emperor-rank forces. They joined the Myriad Laws Academy due to its superior cultivation environment and resources.
Lu Tian Feng planned to use this information against them and force them to do his bidding.
"Threaten them if we can't bribe them. Humans are selfish creatures, and they all have weaknesses. It's best if you threaten them with their descendants. I don't care how many descendants they have, capture all of them as long as they're not in the academy!"
...
The Seven Mansions were insignificant in the Profound Energy Land. Most people had never heard of the Seven Mansions until Duan Ling Tian's appearance during the Seven Mansions Feast.
However, at this time, the Seven Mansions suddenly became famous again.
"Did you hear the news? An advanced Emperor of Gods from the Seven Mansions broke into a supreme-rank force and killed a Supreme God?"
"Are you sure it's true?"
"The news is spreading like a wildfire. How can it be fake?"
"An advanced Emperor of Gods killed a Supreme God? Are you joking?"
"I'm not!"
"Which supreme-rank force is it?"
"It's a new supreme-rank force. Its ranks rose because of that Supreme God who was killed. He only broke through and became a Supreme God not long ago."
"Even so, it's unlikely for an advanced Emperor of Gods to kill a rudimentary Supreme God, right? The difference in strength is like heaven and earth. How did that advanced Emperor of Gods do it?"
