War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens-Chapter 2673: Preparing to Leave

Chapter 2673 Preparing to Leave

After a while, Duan Ling Tian narrowed his eyes when he thought about the grey flame in the defective metal piece. He muttered to himself, “I can only draw out a small part of the grey flame for now, and it’s comparable to a primitive Celestial Fire. I wonder if this is the limit? If it’s the limit, then, once I completely master it, it’ll be comparable to mediocre Celestial Fire. If this isn’t its limit, once I have full control of it, it should, at least, be comparable to a prominent Celestial Fire.” His eyes brightened as he drew close to the end of his sentence.

“Anyway, for now, there’s no doubt the small fire that I drew out is only comparable to primitive Celestial Fires since there’s not much energy in it. With that said, if I manage to draw all the grey flame out, it should only be a mediocre Celestial Fire. Since the fire I can use now is only comparable to a primitive Celestial Fire, I guess that makes me a primitive Celestial Alchemist. I wonder why I can’t use all of the flames? I don’t think it has anything to do with my cultivation base. I’m a Golden Celestial, but there are many Heavenly Celestials who are mediocre Celestial Alchemists just because they possess a mediocre Celestial Fire. There must be another reason why I can’t use all of the grey flames,” Duan Ling Tian murmured, speculating to himself.

Duan Ling Tian’s speculation was not wrong. However, not even in his wildest dream would he be able to imagine that the grey flame was not a mediocre Celestial Fire but the second form of the Chaos Divine Flame that was comparable to a mediocre Celestial Fire. Due to his body that could not contain it for now, he was unable to unleash the full potential of the fire. If the grey flame was fully drawn out of the defective metal piece, it would burn Duan Ling Tian into ashes in just an instant. To fully control the second form of the Chaos Divine Flame and safely draw it out of the defective metal piece, he would have to improve his cultivation base and become a Great Overarching Golden Celestial. Only Great Overarching Golden Celestials or those who were stronger had bodies strong enough to contain the second form of the Chaos Divine Flame. This was because when one transformed into a Great Overarching Golden Celestial from a Golden Celestial, one’s Celestial Origin Energy would undergo a change. One’s body would undergo a transformation as well. The entire process was quite similar to a rebirth. Naturally, Duan Ling Tian was unaware of all these things for now.

“It has been two days. I wonder if the Liu and Pang clans have delivered the prominent Celestial Stones?” Duan Ling Tian muttered to himself as his eyes glinted in the light. Although he had been fully immersed in refining pills during the past two days, he was still aware of the passage of time since it was not like going into closed-door cultivation.

Duan Ling Tian thought to himself, ‘I have a day left before I have to leave. After obtaining the prominent Celestial Stones, I’ll leave the County City and Nine Specters County. I should say goodbye to Qin Yu and Elder Zheng Qiu before I leave.’

When Duan Ling Tian emerged from his stone chamber, he looked at the stone chamber located above his and called out, “Qin Yu.”

Almost as soon as Duan Ling Tian had spoken, the door of the stone chamber swung open, and a figure emerged from the stone chamber. Qin Yu, who came with Duan Ling Tian from Bloody Specter City, smiled when he saw Duan Ling Tian. He said, “Duan Ling Tian, you caused quite a big commotion two days ago. The Liu clan has three Supreme Elders, and you killed two of them.”

“Oh, you’ve heard about it?” Duan Ling Tian smiled faintly.

“I’m not the only one who has heard about it. I think everyone, except for those in closed-door cultivation, has heard about it, regardless if they’re from the County City, other places in Nine Specters County, or the neighboring counties.” Qin Yu shook his head.

“Hmm.” Duan Ling Tian merely nodded his head, he had expected this after all. Then, he looked at Qin Yu and solemnly said, “Qin Yu, I plan to leave the County Governor’s estate and the County City… I might even leave Nine Specters County.”

“You’re leaving?” Qin Yu knitted his brows. Realization dawned on him before he asked, “Is it because your strength has been revealed? You’re afraid the other 15 counties might do you harm?”

Duan Ling Tian replied, “Well, that’s one of the reasons. I plan to travel around as well. When I was still in Bloody Specter City, I wasn’t strong enough to do so. After all, I might get myself killed if I recklessly ventured out. Since I’ve gotten stronger now, I plan to travel around. Who knows if I’ll have a fortuitous encounter?” It would be great if he had a fortuitous encounter, but he knew this was something out of his control.

Qin Yu’s brows were still knitted together as he asked, “It seems like you have no plans of returning… Then, what about the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties?”

“I’ll go to King Qing’s Mansion when the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties begins. Not only would the county where the winner is from be rewarded, but the winner would be rewarded as well. Since King Qing’s Mansion is rewarding the winning county with three mediocre Celestial Pills, I’m sure the reward for the winner wouldn’t be too shabby. I definitely won’t miss the competition. I’ll see you again in less than a year.” Duan Ling Tian smiled.

Qin Yu sighed in relief. “That’s good. I thought I won’t be seeing you again. Anyway, based on the current situation, it’s for the best that you leave this place.” It was not difficult to guess the other 15 counties under the rule of King Qing’s Mansion would want Duan Ling Tian dead once they learned about his strength. After all, Duan Ling Tian threatened their common interest. With Duan Ling Tian participating in the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties, they had no hope of ranking first in the competition. After a brief moment, he reminded Duan Ling Tian to stay safe. “Please be careful when you’re outside. Although you’re strong and capable of killing Revered Elder Zhou Tong, there are many people who are much stronger than him out there.”

“Yes, I understand.” Duan Ling Tian nodded. Then, he looked at his stone chamber and said with a smile, “I don’t think I’ll be coming back here. You can take over my stone chamber. With your strength, no one in the Latent Dragon Abyss would be able to successfully challenge you for it. They won’t dare to object to you cultivating in there.” When he finished speaking, he handed a Door Talisman to Qin Yu.

After Qin Yu took the Door Talisman, he said jokingly, “It seems like I’m benefitting from your departure.” A hint of excitement could be seen in his eyes. After all, the cultivation environment in Duan Ling Tian’s stone chamber was comparable to the County Governor’s cultivation place.

“Anyway, I won’t be seeing you again before I leave. I’m going to bid farewell to Elder Zheng Qiu and the County Governor now. After that, I’ll leave once I collect the prominent Celestial Stones from the Liu and Pang clans,” Duan Ling Tian said before leaving the Latent Dragon Abyss.
