Chapter 4564: The Master and Disciple Reunite
Zhao An Yi sighed when he heard Guo Lin's words. Similar to Guo Lin, he had also cursed at those useless people in his heart countless times.
Perhaps, those useless people did not think Duan Ling Tian was a threat because he was just an advanced Supreme God at that time so they ignored him. They did not expect that Duan Ling Tian would rise to such heights, surpassing everyone and possessing the strength to kill everyone with just a snap of his fingers.
'Unfortunately, we can't turn back time. Since the matter has come to this point, those useless people will have to bear the consequences...'
Zhao An Yi and Guo Lin were unaware that Duan Ling Tian had only met Fu Liang Yu, the new demi Saint from the Fu clan, in the past. He had never met Fu Liang Ming, Han Jiang, and Tuoba Lian Cheng before. They naturally did not know he did not have a personal grudge against them and was only doing this to avenge Duan You Wei.
"Let's send everyone back first before we look for those two people," Zhao An Yi said, "Han Jiang should be in the Han clan. As for Tuoba Lian Cheng, I don't know if he's in his cultivation ground. I'll look for Han Jiang, and you'll look for Tuoba Lian Cheng. There's no need to worry if Tuoba Lian Cheng is in his cultivation ground. I'm only afraid he's not there..."
Han Jiang and Tuoba Lian Cheng were only demi Saints. It was not hard at all for Zhao An Yi and Guo Lin, who were Saints, to bring them back to the Azure Cloud Saint Sect. In fact, they could have just ordered Han Jiang and Tuoba Lian Cheng to come to the Azure Cloud Saint Sect. After all, they were the overlords of the Azure Cloud Saint Sect's territories. Nobody would dare to offend them if they wanted to stay in the territories of the Azure Cloud Saint Sect. However, due to the severity of the matter, the two of them decided to personally take action. After all, If Duan Ling Tian did not see Han Jiang and Tuoba Lian Cheng in the Azure Cloud Saint Sect after three months, the sect would definitely suffer the consequences.
Guo Lin scoffed as he said fiercely, "Even if Tuoba Lian Cheng isn't in his cultivation ground or territories of our sect, I'll do everything in my power to bring him back!"
...
Meanwhile, after leaving, Duan Ling Tian quickly made his way to the Heaven Traversing Pagoda. He recalled the heavenly text that announced the appearance of the Heaven Traversing Pagoda.
'Heaven and earth should rejoice and celebrate the birth of the first level-seven supreme powerhouse after the gap in history. After this, the Heaven Traversing Pagoda will appear above the ocean at the center of the Outer Boundary. Level-five and level-six supreme powerhouses can enter the pagoda. After successfully passing a series of tests, one will be rewarded with the Heaven Protection Talisman that can help one block three strikes of the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation!'
It did not take long for Duan Ling Tian to arrive at his destination. From afar, he saw the magnificent and towering Heaven Traversing Pagoda in the sky that emanated a mysterious light. Even from a distance, he could sense its terrifying and extraordinary aura.
When Duan Ling Tian drew close, he entered the barrier that was constructed by someone's Divine Consciousness. The Divine Consciousness was stronger than those of the Saints of the Azure Cloud Saint Sect and was comparable to his. He naturally knew that it belonged to his master, Feng Qing Yang.
"Master!" Duan Ling Tian called out respectfully as he extended his Divine Consciousness. He sped up and arrived next to the Heaven Traversing Pagoda in just a blink of an eye.
Duan Ling Tian looked at the familiar figure in front of him. After so many years, his master still looked the same. However, his master's aura was more profound than before, and his gaze was mysterious.
"Little Tian!" Feng Qing Yang said with a bright smile, "I saw the heavenly text! You've also become a level-seven supreme powerhouse!"
Duan Ling Tian said with a smile, "Master, congratulations on becoming the first level-seven supreme powerhouse after the gap in history!"
Duan Ling Tian had always felt grateful to Feng Qing Yang. Feng Qing Yang was the person who helped him with his Sword Dao. Without Feng Qing Yang, he would not have been able to grow so rapidly and achieve so many shocking feats. Not only that, but Feng Qing Yang had also helped him many times with other matters; Feng Qing Yang had even saved his life when he was on the brink of death. He was sincerely happy that Feng Qing Yang had become a level-seven supreme powerhouse.
"I was lucky I inherited the legacy of the Sword of Time. Thanks to the legacy, my law progressed rapidly and helped me soar to great heights..." Feng Qing Yang said modestly with a smile on his face, "Both of us, master and disciple, have finally become level-seven supreme powerhouses against all odds. There'll be an even bigger commotion when they find out about our relationship..."
"That's right. They only know that we're both from the God Defying World now. No one knows that we're master and disciple," Duan Ling Tian said with a nod as his smile widened.
Duan Ling Tian thought about Ke'er, who was now in his Little World, and continued to say, "Thank you, master, for helping Ke'er get rid of that soul imprisonment technique."
"There's no need to be so polite," Feng Qing Yang said as he waved his hand, "She's your wife. Moreover, even if I didn't take action, you would've been able to get rid of the soul imprisonment technique as well..."
Duan Ling Tian did not say anything after listening to these words, but his gratitude toward Feng Qing Yang did not diminish. Although Feng Qing Yang's words were true, the fact that Feng Qing Yang helped Ke'er as soon as he broke through showed that Feng Qing Yang had always kept Duan Ling Tian in his mind.
After a while, Feng Qing Yang asked, "Little Tian, what do you think about me guarding the Heaven Traversing Pagoda and preventing others from entering it?"
Duan Ling Tian shook his head. His eyes shone coldly as he said with a sneer, "Master, if I became a level-seven supreme powerhouse first, I would've done the same thing! I wouldn't allow them to take the shortcut that heaven granted them! Heaven is really unfair! It did not give us any shortcuts, but as soon as we broke through, it gave everyone a shortcut! Why do we have to undergo the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation while they were given a shortcut? It's clear that heaven is targeting us!"
Duan Ling Tian continued to say, "Master, after I'm done making arrangements for my family and dealing with other matters, I'll return to guard the Heaven Traversing Pagoda. We'll take turns guarding the pagoda. No one is allowed to enter!"
Duan Ling Tian had no intention of giving in regarding this matter. He was not worried about heaven retaliating against them. After all, if heaven could kill them directly, it would not have created the Heaven Traversing Pagoda to deal with them.
Through the memories of the Void Elder, Duan Ling Tian also knew that heaven had never directly killed someone before the historical gap. As such, he speculated that there must be some sort of restriction.
As for the catastrophe that resulted in the death of all living things and the world returning to chaos, the Void Elder had speculated that it might not have anything to do with heaven. There should be more to it.
