Chapter 2767: The Evolution of the Golden Pill

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Logically, the people from the Golden Light Mansion would never provoke Celestial Dukes. Unless they had unknowingly provoked someone with a powerful background or a Celestial Duke…” Long Fei Yun looked at Duan Ling Tian meaningfully. It was as though he knew Duan Ling Tian was one of the people who had a powerful background or the support of a Celestial Duke. After all, he was certain the Golden Light Mansion would not knowingly provoke a Celestial Duke. Celestial Dukes were incredibly powerful. The Golden Tiger, the King of the Golden Light Mansion, would have lowered his head in obeisance if he had met a Celestial Duke, let alone provoke one. For this reason, he suspected Duan Ling Tian had something to do with the annihilation of the Golden Light King and the Golden Light Mansion. Duan Ling Tian was a Great Overarching Golden Celestial who had not even reached 100 years old. Moreover, his companion was an earth-rank Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial who was also younger than 100 years ago. He found it difficult to believe that such people were without the support of powerful people.

Previously, Long Fei Yun had thought Duan Ling Tian was from a powerful sect outside the Wasteland. However, based on how willing Duan Ling Tian had agreed to his request to join the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect, he had quickly dismissed that idea. After all, if Duan Ling Tian belonged to a powerful sect outside the Wasteland, he would not be so quick to agree to join the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect. When he discovered Duan Ling Tian was also a prominent Celestial Alchemist, he had to dismiss his previous idea again. After all, without the support of a powerful force, it would be difficult to obtain a prominent Celestial Fire. For all these reasons, he concluded that Duan Ling Tian must have come from a powerful clan outside the Wasteland. After all, if he came from a powerful clan, there were no rules preventing him from joining a Celestial Sect.

“Thirteenth prince, do you think I have the support of a powerful Celestial Duke, and the Celestial Duke annihilated Golden Light Mansion on my behalf?” Upon seeing Long Fei Yun’s expression, it was not difficult for Duan Ling Tian to guess Long Fei Yun’s thoughts. He was slightly surprised that Long Fei Yun had arrived at that conclusion.

“Yes, that thought did come to mind.” Long Fei Yun nodded. He did not deny Duan Ling Tian’s words.

“All I can say is that, indeed, I have something to do with the annihilation of the Golden Light Mansion. However, I wouldn’t say I have the support of that Celestial Duke. The person who annihilated the Golden Light Mansion is the Left Guardian of Tai Yi Celestial Sect, Tie Tai He,” Duan Ling Tian answered honestly.

Previously, when Long Fei Yun had given up the chance to obtain a Duke Grade Celestial Weapon in order to obtain a prominent Celestial Pill Cauldron for Duan Ling Tian, Duan Ling Tian’s regard for him had risen. Although he did not trust Long Fei Yun completely, to a certain level, he considered Long Fei Yun as a friend.

“Tie Tai He?” Long Fei Yun’s eyes widened when he heard Duan Ling Tian’s words. He asked with a grave expression on his face, “Brother Duan, how do you know he’s the one responsible for the annihilation of the Golden Light Mansion?” As the Thirteenth Prince of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom, Long Fei Yun, naturally, knew who Tie Tai He was. Tie Tai He was one of the strongest powerhouses in the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, and he was a Six Combination Celestial Duke!

Celestial Dukes were divided into ten categories based on their strength. The weakest of the Celestial Dukes, a One Basic Celestial Duke, was more than enough to wreak havoc in the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom, let alone a Six Combination Celestial Duke.

Although Long Fei Yun had some sort of prestige as the Thirteenth Prince of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom, in comparison to someone like Tie Tai He, he was just like an ant. Moreover, he was just a prince who was not favored by his father. Even if the fourth or seventh princes who were favored by his father were killed by Tie Tai He, there was nothing his father, the emperor, could do. In fact, his father would probably apologize and say that his son deserved to be killed by Tie Tai He.

Tie Tai He’s position was too high, and he was too strong. Even if Long Fei Yun became the emperor in the future, he would still have to look up to Tie Tai He.

“Yes, he came looking for me…” Duan Ling Tian said as he recounted what had happened without hiding anything.

“What?! The Golden Light King hired a black-market assassin to kill Huan’er?” Long Fei Yun exclaimed in shock as his expression changed drastically. Hints of killing intent could be seen in his eyes as he said, “Impudent! He deserves to die! If I had known about this, even if Tie Tai He didn’t make a move, I would’ve made sure he wouldn’t get away with it!”

After a few moments, Long Fei Yun seemed to have recalled something. The killing intent in his eyes vanished, replaced with an excited and expectant expression “Brother Ling Tian… did… did you successfully refine the prominent Celestial Pill, the Overarching Heaven Pill?”

“Yes.” Duan Ling Tian nodded. He lifted his hand and revealed the remaining Overarching Heaven Pills in his hand before handing it over to Long Fei Yun. “I had refined three pills this time. I had given one to Huan’er. I have no use for the two remaining pills so I’ll give them to you.”

Two Overarching Heaven Pills!

Long Fei Yun’s heart raced and his breathing quickened when he saw Duan Ling Tian casually handed the two Overarching Heaven Pills to him. The way he looked at the pills was as though he was looking at some precious treasure. After all, two Overarching Heaven Pills would be able to make two people an Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials!

There were many peak Great Overarching Golden Celestials who were stuck and could not break through to the next stage. However, with the Overarching Heaven Pill, they would definitely be able to break through and become an Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial.

With these pills, Duan Ling Tian could have demanded anything he wanted, and people would still jump to fulfill his wish.

Although Long Fei Yun desired the two pills greatly, he still held his emotions in check. “Brother Duan, I… I think it’s better for you to give these two Overarching Heaven Pills to Lady Huan’er… If you refine more in the future, you can give it to me then.”

“Just take them.” Duan Ling Tian shook his head. “Huan’er’s not able to absorb the medicinal efficacy of the pill. These pills are useless to her. Since I’m still quite far from becoming a peak Great Overarching Golden Celestial, I have no use for them now as welI.”

“These pills are useless on Lady Huan’er?” Long Fei Yun was taken aback. Previously, he was also shocked when he learned that the Weaving Overarching Pill had no effects on Huan’er. With this knowledge, he could not help but wonder about her. She was not even a heaven-rank Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial, but the Overarching Heaven Pill already did not work for her. In the end, he graciously accepted the pills.

After a short pause, Long Fei Yun asked, “Brother Duan, do you really plan to refine Overarching Heaven Pills for Tie Tai He?”

“Of course.” Duan Ling Tian nodded. “I’ve already given him my word, and I’m not the kind of person who would go back on my words. Moreover, although it was cruel to kill every single person from the Golden Light Mansion, he had done it because of me.”

“Brother Duan, you’re, indeed, an honorable person.” Long Fei Yun praised.

Time passed by in just a blink of an eye. Soon, it was already time for the Wasteland Grand Contest.

On that day, a huge throng of people walked out of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom ostentatiously. The person in the lead was a middle-aged with a square face who was sitting in a topless carriage. He wore a golden robe with a dragon embroidered on it. He had a majestic air about him. He was none other than Long Dong Ping, the Emperor of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom!

The topless carriage was drawn by nine lion-like Celestial Beasts with thick and shiny fur.

Long Fei Yun who was standing among the throng of people pointed at the nine Celestial Beasts and said to Duan Ling Tian, “Those are the Lion Tiger Beasts. Their speed is very fast. It’s comparable to a heaven-rank Great Overarching Golden Celestial. The Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom had obtained them at a high price due to their rarity.”

Huan’er who was standing next to Duan Ling Tian. As usual, she wore a white veil and a hat to conceal her appearance.

On this day, Long Dong Ping, the Emperor of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom, would be traveling with the 50 selected candidates to the Wasteland to participate in the Wasteland Grand Contest. The contest would be held in the center of Tai Yi City this time around. The venue of the contest would rotate between the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland. As it happened, it was Tai Yi Sect’s turn to host the Wasteland Grand Contest. Since Tai Yi City was quite a distance away from the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom, they had to leave a little earlier.

For example, the intermediate-rank Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom, was located even further away from Tai Yi City, so they had to leave a day before the contest.

“Their speed is comparable to a Great Overarching Golden Celestial?” Duan Ling Tian was shocked upon hearing Long Fei Yun’s words. This was his first time seeing a powerful Celestial Beast without sentience since he had ascended to Spirit Overarching Heaven. Moreover, they were kept in captivity and had the speed of a heaven-rank Great Overarching Golden Celestial.

Duan Ling Tian looked at Long Fei Yun and asked, “Raising beasts like this…must’ve cost a lot of Great Overarching Pills, right?”

“Yes.” Long Fei Yun nodded. “However, this is the limit of how strong the Imperial family of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom could make them. If we want to make them stronger, Great Overarching Pills would no longer be enough. We would need the Golden Evolution Pill to increase their strength comparable to peak Great Overarching Golden Celestial. After that, we’ll need the Overarching Golden Celestial Pill and the Overarching Heaven Pill to further improve their strength.”

Long Fei Yun continued to say as he shook his head, “All the subsequent pills needed are not something we can afford.”

“The Golden Evolution Pill!” Duan Ling Tian’s eyes brightened. “So the Golden Evolution Pill is somewhat similar to the Golden Gilded Pill that Golden Celestials use to raise their strength a level, right?”
