War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens-Chapter 3264: Lei Yings Disciples
Chapter 3264: Lei Ying’s Disciples
After leaving Xu Lang’s cultivation place, Duan Ling Tian brought Huan’er to one of the vacant peaks. The peak he chose was roughly similar to Xu Lang’s cultivation palace, but everything here was covered in a thick layer of dust. However, he was not bothered by it. With a wave of his hand, a gust of wind stirred up and blew the dust away, leaving the place dust-free.
Although Huan’er did not participate in the conversation earlier, she had been listening attentively the entire time. She asked, “Brother Ling Tian, who knew the prodigious disciples of the Heavenly Pool Palace are so talented. There’s a Celestial Emperor who’s not even 1,000 years old, and there are almost ten people who have comprehended all their profundities to the mastery stage even though they’re not even 1,000 years old.”
“Huan’er, the Heavenly Pool Palace is a heaven-grade force. In Devata Realms, there aren’t that many heaven-grade forces…” Duan Ling Tian said. During his journey here, he had been thinking about this matter. “Although a Heavenly Emperor’s force is above heaven-grade forces, it’s only due to the existence of the Heavenly Emperor. What this means is that the disciples from heaven-grade forces aren’t inferior to the disciples from a Heavenly Emperor’s force. This also means that the disciples of heaven-grade forces can be considered as outstanding individuals in their own rights.”
Duan Ling Tian continued to say, “Moreover, think about it… The Heavenly Pool Palace has 100 prodigious disciples. There are ten prodigious in each of the ten age groups. Therefore, it’s not strange that there are individuals who became Celestial Emperor before turning 1,000 years old or comprehend all the profundities from a law to the mastery stage.”
After listening to Duan Ling Tian’s words, Huan’er fell deep into her thoughts. She found herself agreeing with Duan Ling Tian’s words.
“Huan’er, although you’ve joined Lei Ying, the Merciless Celestial Emperor, you still can cultivate at my place. I don’t think she’ll have an opinion about it,” Duan Ling Tian said. He was aware Lei Ying only wanted to recruit Huan’er due to her talent and the high chance of Huan’er becoming a prodigious disciple. Therefore, it would not matter if Huan’er cultivated at Xu Lang’s place or her place. After all, if Huan’er wanted to betray Lei Ying, she would not have joined Lei Ying in the first place. Huan’er had already shown her respect by agreeing to join Lei Ying. someone with Lei Ying’s status would not care about controlling their disciples. Instead, they cared more about their reputation. Therefore, he was sure it did not matter where Huan’er cultivated. As long as Huan’er performed brilliantly, Lei Ying would be happy. Moreover, as a titled Celestial Emperor, Lei Ying did not need any help or support from Huan’er at all.
…
Early the next morning.
Duan Ling Tian made his way to the Sword Trial Pavilion with Huan’er.
Yesterday, Xu Lang had already helped him and Huan’er complete their registration. Therefore, the duo was now officially disciples of the Heavenly Pool Palace. They had also already received their identity tokens that were now hanging by their waists. Apart from some forbidden areas, they were free to wander the Heavenly Pool Palace.
As soon as Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er arrived at the Sword Trial Pavilion, Duan Ling Tian approached a pavilion elder. Coincidentally, it was one of the ten elders whom he had met yesterday.
Duan Ling Tian said, “We’re here to challenge a prodigious disciple.”
The Sword Trial Pavilion elder greeted Huan’er first. “Miss Huan’er.” Only then did he continue to say, “There are ten prodigious disciples in all the age groups… Since both of you aren’t prodigious disciples yet, you can only challenge the person who’s ranked tenth. If they don’t respond to the challenge within three months, you will automatically replace them. Once you’re ranked at tenth place, you can begin to challenge those who are ranked ahead of you…”
In fact, the Sword Trial Pavilion elder explained the entire process to them patiently. It was clear he was afraid to offend Huan’er, the newest disciple of the Pavilion Master of the Sword Trial Pavilion.
Duan Ling Tian asked, “What if I miss a challenge while I was away? Will I be replaced as well if I didn’t manage to respond in time because I was away?’
“Yes.” The Sword Trial Pavilion elder nodded. “If you’re away for a long time, and you’re no longer a prodigious disciple, you’ll have to start all over again by challenging the person who’s ranked tenth.”
Duan Ling Tian gained an understanding of how it worked with the elder’s explanation. He did not waste time and bluntly said, “I want to challenge the person in tenth place from the group of disciples between the ages of 200 and 300.”
“Give me your identity token, and leave your Soul Pearl with me. I’ll contact the prodigious disciple you want to challenge. Once he accepts the challenge, I’ll inform you of the time and place,” the Sword Trial Pavilion elder said. Then, he looked at Duan Ling Tian and explained to him, “Since you’ve issued a challenge, you’re not allowed to leave the Heavenly Pool Palace or enter closed-door cultivation for three months. Do you agree?”
“Yes.” Duan Ling Tian nodded.
“Very well. I’ll inform you once I have news,” the Sword Trial Pavilion elder said. Then, when he turned to look at Huan’er who was standing next to Duan Ling Tian, a smile appeared on his face as he asked, “Miss Huan’er, do you want to challenge a prodigious disciple as well?”
“Yes.” Huan’er nodded.
“If there are two people from the same group issuing a challenge at the same time, the people who are ranked ninth and tenth would receive the challenge,” the Sword Trial Pavilion elder said. Similar to before, he asked for Huan’er’s identity token and Soul Pearl.
“Miss Huan’er, I’ll contact your opponent immediately and get back to you when there’s news,” the Sword Trial Pavilion elder said to Huan’er before he returned Huan’er and Duan Ling Tian’s identity order to them. Following that, he returned to work.
“Huan’er, you have much more influence than I do in the Sword Trial Pavilion,” Duan Ling Tian said with a smile, “It seems like my decision is right, sending you to the Sword Trial Pavilion. Based on what just happened, it seems like we won’t have much trouble in the Sword Trial Pavilion.”
Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er were just about to leave the Sword Trial Pavilion when Lei Ying returned.
“Senior,” Duan Ling Tian greeted Lei Ying, and Huan’er followed suit.
During the tests, Lei Ying could tell Huan’er was taciturn and rather aloof. Therefore, she did not take offense to Huan’er’s behavior. Finally, she said, “Huan’er, let me show you the cultivation places of my disciples.”
Lei Ying led Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er to her disciples’ cultivation places. It was located in a huge valley. There were many buildings in the valley and people could be seen flying in the sky.
“Apart from my prodigious disciples, the others are mostly their families and friends. I have five disciples, including you,” Lei Ying said to Huan’er.
Under Lei Ying’s lead, they arrived at a vast stone platform located halfway up a mountain. A majestic palace could be seen in the place.
“My disciples’ seniority is ranked by strength… Huna’er, since you just joined me, you’re the junior. You’ll have to address the others as your senior brothers or senior sisters. However, as long as you’re strong enough, you can be the Eldest Senior Strength if you want,” Lei Ying continued to explain to Huan’er.
After a moment, Lei Ying sent a few messages out.
Soon enough, four people arrived at Lei Ying’s cultivation palace. Among the four disciples, there are three males and one female.
“Teacher.”
As soon as Lei Ying’s four disciples arrived, they bowed at her respectfully. The atmosphere was solemn, the complete opposite of what it was like at Xu Lang’s place.
“Huan’er, this is your Eldest Senior Brother, Ximen Lin Jie,” Lei Ying said as she looked at a tall and muscular young man with strong features dressed in a maroon robe.
When Ximen Lin Jie saw Huan’er, his eyes lit up immediately. Although Huan’er was wearing a veil, it could not conceal her beauty.
At this moment, Lei Ying looked at an honest-looking grey-clad young man who resembled Lei Ying. “This is your Second Senior Brother, Lei Jun. He’s also my only son.”
“Hello, Little Junior Sister.” Lei Jun smiled at Huan’er warmly.
Then, Lei Ying turned to the previously only female disciple of hers. “This is your Third Senior Sister, Linghu Yuan.”
The woman was dressed in a green robe and had an average appearance. When she looked at Huan’er, there was a hint of jealousy flashing in the depths of her eyes. Nonetheless, she concealed it rather well.
Unfortunately, it did not escape Duan Ling Tian’s notice. He thought to himself, ‘Women’s jealousy is a really terrifying thing…’
Finally, Lei Ying turned to look at a short man who could possibly be a dwarf and said, “This is your Fourth Senior Brother, He Wen.”
He Wen nodded at Huan’er in response before he shifted his attention to Linghu Yuan. His eyes were filled with adoration and admiration when he looked at her.
Linghu Yuan who sensed He Wen’s gaze seemed slightly disgusted.
At this moment, Lei Ying finally introduced Huan’er to her four disciples, “This is your Fifth Junior Sister, Huan’er… Don’t underestimate her. Although she’s not even 300 years old, she’s capable of defeating a Six Combos Celestial Lord who had comprehended four of the law of fire’s profundities to the mastery stage. She’s also a Six Combos Celestial Lord. In fact, she’s not necessarily any weaker than Linghu Yuan and He Wen…” As she said these words, she shot a look at both Linghu Yuan and He Wen.
“A Six Combos Celestial Lord who hasn’t even reached 300 years old?”
Lei Ying’s words shocked her four disciples.
After a few moments, Linghu Yuan stepped forward and smiled at Huan’er as she said, “Little Junior Sister, you’re rather strong. Would you like to spar with me? If you win, you can be the Third Senior Sister.”
