Chapter 4134: The Mysterious Eldest Senior

Due to the incident, Lang Chun Yuan, Duan Ling Tian's Fourth Senior Sister and Yang Yu Chen's Fourth Junior Sister, became an overnight sensation. Almost everyone from the Myriad Laws Academy found out about her existence because of that incident.

As for those from the Legacy faction, although they were aware of her existence and her age, they were unaware of her strength. Nonetheless, they knew she could not be weak since those who joined the Inner Palace faction could not be ordinary. Even so, they expected someone her age to be an intermediate Emperor of Gods at most. After all, even the top young prodigies below the age of 10,000 in the Legacy faction were only intermediate Emperors of Gods. Their young prodigies might not be among the top young prodigies in the Profound Energy Land, but they were only second to those young prodigies in the prime supreme-rank forces. As such, it was heavily ingrained in their minds that young prodigies below the age of 10,000 who were advanced Emperors of Gods could be only found in prime supreme-rank forces. It was beyond their imagination that such a prodigy existed in the Myriad Laws Academy and was also a member of the Inner Palace faction. She had kept such a low profile that if those three teachers did not attempt to kill Duan Ling Tian, perhaps, no one would have known about her strength.

"What a joke! Initially, we thought that Duan Ling Tian was Yang Yu Chen's main trump card. As it turns out, his main trump card is his junior sister!"

"An advanced Emperor of Gods below the age of 10,000... She also has a profound comprehension of the law of destruction, one of the Four Supreme Laws. Moreover, she also possesses a prominent divine artifact with a complete artifact soul. What a monster!"

"It's said that all members of the Inner Palace faction are extraordinary. I'm fully convinced about that now..."

"Since Duan Ling Tian addresses Yang Yu Chen as Third Senior Brother, this means there are two other members above Yang Yu Chen. However, I've never even heard of them before, let alone seen them. They must be stronger than him since they're ranked higher than him, right?"

"Our Legacy faction should know a thing or two about this, right? I'll ask my master about this!"

"Me too!"

The members of the Legacy faction were naturally shocked after witnessing Lang Chun Yuan's strength despite her age. Not only did the Inner Palace faction have Lang Chun Yuan, but they also had Duan Ling Tian and Yang Yu Chen.

Yang Yu Chan was the top genius in the Myriad Laws Academy for the past 1000,000 years. Over the past 100,000 years, no one had been able to achieve what he had achieved, let alone surpassed him.

As such, the Legacy faction had always assumed that Yang Yu Chen was the pillar of the Inner Palace faction. When Yang Yu Chen successfully recruited Duan Ling Tian, they had assumed it was out of sheer luck that he managed to recruit Duan Ling Tian, beating the other heavyweight supreme-rank forces. Although the addition of Duan Ling Tian to the Inner Palace faction made it even stronger, they did not think much of it. However, after Lang Chun Yuan's appearance, they began to consider many things, and they also realized that the Inner Palace faction was much more extraordinary than they had imagined. Although there were very few members, each of them was an elite. There were also Yang Yu Chen's two mysterious seniors. They were so mysterious that even the high-ranking officials in the Legacy faction, who were intermediate Supreme Gods, only knew about their existence but not the levels of their strength.

"Now that I think about it... It seems like Yang Yu Chen's achievements weren't as good as those of Duan Ling Tian and Lang Chun Yuan when he was their age. Does this mean that those two will be even more outstanding than him when they reach his age?"

"We only know about Yang Yu Chen in the Inner Palace faction. No one knows anything about his senior sister and senior brother. They're really mysterious. Even my grandmaster knows nothing about them except that they're Supreme Gods. Do you think they're stronger than Yang Yu Chen?"

"It... It can't be right... If that's true, then the Inner Palace faction is too heaven-defying!"

...

Duan Ling Tian continued to bring Lang Chun Yuan around the Myriad Laws Academy. When he saw a group of students who came over to look at Lang Chun Yuan, he smiled at her and said, "Fourth Senior Sister, didn't you want to be famous? Your wish has come true now."

Lang Chun Yuan's eyes lit up upon hearing Duan Ling Tian's words, clearly enjoying being in the limelight. She said, "Really? Does this mean I'm more famous than you now, junior brother?"

"Of course," Duan Ling Tian smiled and replied, "Fourth Senior Sister, you're an advanced Emperor of Gods while I'm just an intermediate Lord of Gods, after all. Moreover, unlike my prominent divine artifact, you raised and cultivated your artifact soul to completion on your own."

Upon hearing this, Lang Chun Yuan shook her head and said, "No, I didn't raise it to completion on my own. My prominent divine artifact is a gift from Eldest Senior Sister when I became a Lord of Gods. She said she got it from an intermediate Supreme God whom she killed."

Previously, Duan Ling Tian had doubted if Lang Chun Yuan had personally raised her artifact soul to completion. After all, it seemed impossible for her to be able to raise such a strong artifact soul based on her age and cultivation base. Her artifact soul was comparable to that of Huang'er, the artifact soul of his Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword. Ordinary Emperors of Gods would not have been able to raise and cultivate such a strong artifact soul.

100 years ago, during the time when he fought a life-or-death battle with the five disciples from the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation, Yuan Dong Chun, the teacher on duty in the Palace of Death, had used his prominent divine artifact with a complete artifact soul. At that time, he could tell that Yuan Dong Chun's artifact soul was nowhere near as strong as Huang'er.

Similarly, he could also tell that the artifact soul of Lu Tian Feng's direct disciple was also very ordinary compared to Huang'er.

For all these reasons, Duan Ling Tian was not too surprised when he heard that Lang Chun Yuan did not raise and cultivate her artifact soul to completion. However, he was surprised when he heard that their Eldest Senior Sister killed an intermediate Supreme God even though he was aware that she was very strong. Moreover, Lang Chun Yuan had said that their Eldest Senior Sister had given her that prominent divine artifact when Lang Chun Yuan became a Lord of Gods. This meant that their Eldest Senior Sister was already capable of killing an intermediate Supreme God at least a few thousand years ago and that she was undoubtedly even stronger now. Although a few thousand years were too short for ordinary Supreme Gods to become significantly stronger, as a member of the Inner Palace faction, their Eldest Senior Sister was definitely not ordinary and must be highly talented. It was impossible for her not to have grown stronger over the past few thousand years.

Previously, Duan Ling Tian learned from Yang Yu Chen that the order of seniority in the Inner Palace faction was decided based on the time they joined the faction. Yang Yu Chen was just joking about making Ye Chen Feng the fourth member of the Inner Palace faction if Ye Chen Feng decided to join the faction.

When Yang Yu Chen first joined the Inner Palace faction, their Eldest Senior Sister was his Third Senior Sister. When her two senior brothers perished, she finally became the Eldest Senior Sister, and Yang Yu Chen, who was the fifth member at that time, became the third member and the Third Senior Brother to those who joined after him.

In the past, the Inner Palace faction practiced a master-and-disciple system, but it was later abolished in favor of the current system. Nonetheless, the seniors would still try their best to guide their juniors. According to Yang Yu Chen, their Eldest Senior Sister not only helped Lang Chun Yuan, but she also helped Yang Yu Chen and their Second Senior Brother.

Apart from that, only those who remained in the Myriad Laws Academy could be the leader of the Inner Palace faction. In the past, their Eldest Senior Sister was the leader of the Inner Palace faction. However, not long after Yang Yu Chen joined the faction, she decided to pass the mantle to him when she saw that he had great skills when interacting with the students of the academy. Not long after she passed on the mantle to him, she, along with their Second Senior Brother, left the Myriad Laws Academy. With that, the Inner Palace faction only had Yang Yu Chen and Lang Chun Yuan until Duan Ling Tian came again. Duan Ling Tian's appearance also made the faction much livelier than before.

...

Wherever Duan Ling Tian and Lang Chun Yuan went in the Myriad Laws Academy, Lang Chun Yuan was the center of everyone's attention. In the beginning, she had rather enjoyed the attention, but as time passed, she grew annoyed, feeling a like monkey in the zoo.

There were a few times when Lang Chun Yuan wanted to reprimand those students who came to look at her but was stopped by Duan Ling Tian. In the end, when her patience finally ran out, she said, "Junior brother, let's return."

"Alright." Duan Ling Tian agreed readily. He could tell Lang Chun Yuan had reached her limit and would lose her temper if they continued on. He was worried he would not be able to control her. Even if she would not kill the students, she would definitely give them a heavy beating. It was not impossible for her to cripple them as well.

As Duan Ling Tian and Lang Chun Yuan made their way back to the Inner Palace faction's independent realm, an old man and a young man hovered high in the sky.

The old man looked at the young man next to him and said with a faint smile, "Your junior brother has higher prestige than you in front of your Fourth Junior Sister."

The young man said indignantly, "It's not a matter of prestige. My junior sister just wants to be a good role model to our junior brother. By the way, did you ask me to let her leave the faction's independent realm with junior brother just so she could kill those who were threatened and forced to kill my junior brother?"

The old man replied, "Yes. They were teachers of our academy, after all, and they were threatened and driven to a corner. I couldn't bring myself to make a move on them."

The young man shook his head and said, "If that was all, you could have found another person to do the job. In my opinion, you're just using my Fourth Junior Sister to deal another blow to the Legacy faction. Sometimes, I really can't help but suspect you're a member of our Inner Palace faction. Are you a spy from our faction sent to the Legacy faction?"
