War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens-Chapter 2704: Huan’er

2704 Huan’er ‘The Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy here is quite good. Although it’s lacking compared to the stone chamber I had in the Latent Dragon Abyss, it’s still much better than most places… Let’s just cultivate here for the time being until I have a breakthrough before I try to leave the Illusory Realm again!’ Duan Ling Tian sat down cross-legged in the air, uncaring of the changing illusions in his surroundings. He took a Celestial Pill before a Celestial Stone appeared in his hand, and he began to cultivate using the Crystal Clearance Tactic!

The Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy entered Duan Ling Tian’s body and circulated around his 99 Heavenly Veins before it was converted into Celestial Origin Energy. He continued cultivating without giving thought to the passing time as his cultivation base continued to improve.

“Based on my current cultivation base, it won’t take long for me to break through and become an Indigo Sun Golden Celestial.”

In the past year, before he had left Nine Specters County, after eating the primitive Celestial Pill, the Golden Gilded Pill, and becoming a Green Sun Golden Celestial, he was only a step away from becoming a Blue Sun Golden Celestial. His fast progress was all due to the Golden Gilded Pill. Not only did the Golden Gilded Pill help him become a Green Sun Golden Celestial, but it also helped him take a step closer to becoming a Blue Sun Golden Celestial.

However, since the surroundings were ever-changing, Duan Ling Tian was not completely immersed in his cultivation. Every time his surroundings changed, he would be woken up from his immersive state. The illusions would change every few days.

…

After half a month had passed, the illusion changed into a moon-lit ruin and stopped changing completely.

Rubble and debris could be seen everywhere. There were tombstones erected before dilapidated houses as well. All of the tombstones had no names on them.

…

After a month had passed, the illusion still remained the same.

Whoosh!

At this moment, a gust of wind suddenly blew across the ruin, causing debris and dust to rise in the air.

Soon after, a snow-white figure appeared like a ghost before a purple-clad figure sitting cross-legged in the air above the air.

The figure studied the purple-clad figure who was immersed in cultivation with limpid eyes.

Duan Ling Tian was completely immersed in cultivation so he was not aware of the ghost-like figure who had appeared before him. However, if he had seen the figure, he would have snapped out of his cultivation and regarded the figure with wariness as though he was facing his enemy.

Time gradually passed as Duan Ling Tian continued to cultivate.

Meanwhile, the ghost-like figure continued standing in front of Duan Ling Tian, observing him motionlessly. It looked like a white statue.

After an unknown amount of time had passed, Duan Ling Tian discovered that he was only one step away from becoming a Blue Sun Golden Celestial. However, it was difficult to cross this final step.

‘I’ve reached a bottleneck.’ Duan Ling Tian sighed inwardly. He finally stretched his limbs before he slowly opened his eyes.

The sight that greeted his eyes caused his expression to change drastically as he inhaled sharply. He had seen the white figure standing in front of him. The figure seemed ethereal as though it did not belong in this world and had a lonely air about it like a ghost drifting in the wilderness.

Duan Ling Tian took a deep breath before he narrowed his eyes and asked, “You… Who are you?” He studied the white figure before him that carried an unworldly air about it.

At this moment, Duan Ling Tian finally saw the white figure clearly under the illumination of the clear moonlight.

The moment he saw the white figure clearly, his eyes widened immediately. A hint of amazement could be seen in his eyes. It was as though he had seen a fairy who had descended to the mortal world!

The white figure belonged to a stunning beauty with a graceful figure. Prior to this, he did not think a beauty like her existed in this world. Her features seemed to be carved by a master artisan. With just her looks alone, she could topple multiple nations. She wore a flimsy white robe that fluttered in the air.

At this moment, Duan Ling Tian found it difficult to tear his eyes away from her. He had seen many women, and among them, many were stunning with their own unique bearing. However, until now, he had never seen a woman like the woman standing before him.

Although the woman’s features were extremely seductive, at the same time, she exuded a pure aura. The contradiction made her even more attractive, and it was something that Duan Ling Tian had never seen before. She seemed like a young girl who had just matured into a woman and stepped out into the world for the first time.

“Too beautiful… This world actually has such a beauty…” Although Duan Ling Tian was usually calm when faced with beauties and had no intention of entangling himself with more women, his heart could not help but skip a few beats when he saw her. It took him a few moments before he finally managed to calm himself down with the help of his strong will. After all, his response to her was just an instinctual male response.

Duan Ling Tian could imagine if this woman went out into the world, the men would all fight over, leaving a bloody carnage in her wake. Men would definitely find it difficult to resist her charm.

‘A stunner… An absolute stunner…’ These words appeared in Duan Ling Tian’s mind.

Under Duan Ling Tian’s watchful eyes, the white-robed woman’s limpid eyes flashed briefly as she finally said, “Who are you?”

As soon as she spoke, Duan Ling Tian felt himself weakened again. Her voice was as melodious as she was beautiful.

After a few moments, Duan Ling Tian forced himself to calm down before he said,” Duan Ling Tian. What about you?”

Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s question, the white-robed woman thought about it for a few moments before her lips curved slightly into an indifferent smile. “Me? Ever since I was born, mother called me Huan’er. You can call me Huan’er as well, I supposed.”

“Huan’er.” Duan Ling Tian nodded slightly before he asked, “What about your mother?”

Hearing Duan Ling Tian’s question, Huan’er lowered her head and sighed.”Mother left long ago… She told me to stay here before she left. She said the first person I don’t dislike can bring me out. I’ve been waiting and waiting and waiting until you came…” As she spoke, she looked at Duan Ling Tian with keen eyes. She continued to say, “Mother told me the outside world is very fun, but she had never taken me with her. Later, she had left. However, because of her words, I didn’t dare to leave this place. After all, if mother finds out I left this place, she would get very angry with me.” A fearful expression appeared on her face as she said, “Mother… mother can be terrifying when she’s angry…”

Duan Ling Tian was baffled. “Your mother said before she left that it doesn’t matter who, as long as you don’t dislike them, they can bring you out?” After a moment, he asked again, “Don’t tell me nobody has come here before?”

“No, there were,” Huan’er said as she turned her limpid eyes toward the nameless tombstones, “Every one of these tombstones represents the people who came here… Amongst them were women like Huan’er and men like you whom mother told me about.”

“One woman and eight men… Mother told me that woman’s gaze was filled with envy. Huan’er disliked that gaze so Huan’er killed her.”

Duan Ling Tian could only smile bitterly when he heard Huan’er’s words. Apart from a select few confident women, were there any women who would not be envious of Huan’er?

Huan’er continued to say, “The gazes of the eight men disgusted Huan’er so Huan’er killed them as well.”

From the beginning until the end, when Huan’er spoke about her killings, it seemed as though she was talking about the weather.

“Only your gaze is clean and pure. Huan’er doesn’t dislike you. So you must be the person mother said who can bring me out! Will you take Huan’er out? Huan’er wants to see the world outside. Mother said that the world outside is marvelous and very interesting.” Huan’er seemed like a half-grown child now whose only thoughts were about having fun.
