Chapter 1655: Duan Ling Tian Comes Out From His Closed-door Cultivation

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Han Zheng Tian was no stranger to the Devilseal Tablet.

The Devilseal Tablet was one of the Ten Great Super Saint Weapons on the Ten Great Saint Weapons Ranking in the Dao Martial Saint Land. Moreover, it was ranked at the upper part of the Ten Great Super Saint Weapons on the Ten Great Saint Weapons Ranking.

The reason it was ranked at the top was not due to its strength. It was because of its function. The Devilseal Tablet could suppress Devil Cultivators.

Due to this reason, when he learned the Devilseal Tablet was on the Mortal Continent, south of the Dao Martial Saint Land, through certain means, he ordered Qing Nu to go there and search for it. However, her search did not produce any result. In the end, he could only give up.

He did not expect the Devilseal Tablet that he had ordered Qing Nu to search for would be in Duan Ling Tian’s hands. He was someone his daughter had met when she followed Qing Nu to the Mortal Continent. In other words, the news he had received was accurate, the Devilseal Tablet was indeed on the Mortal Continent.

However, Qing Nu had failed to obtain it, and it was obtained by Duan Ling Tian.

He finally understood why his daughter had vehemently asked him to promise her. This was because she knew how appealing the Devilseal Tablet was to him. However, the Devilseal Tablet was nothing compared to his daughter.

His daughter was the most important person in his heart. Her importance surpassed everything including his own life.

“You’re afraid I would snatch away your Brother Ling Tian’s Devilseal Tablet, aren’t you?”

Han Zheng Tian shook his head and continued to say, “Your Brother Ling Tian has a surprisingly high innate talent. Previously, I thought he was comparable to the young talents in our Greenwave Han Mansion. However, it seems like I’ve underestimated him! I heard about what happened with the strongest person on the Heaven Ranking of Southern Ridge Yuan Mansion, Lin Dong! His strength shouldn’t be any weaker than the strongest person on the Heaven Ranking of Greenwave Han Mansion.”

“More importantly, he actually managed to kill Lin Dong who had broken through to the Saint Stage… Let alone the Southern Ridge Yuan Mansion, everyone in the Greenwave Han Mansion, and possibly in the entire Upper and Lower Province of Dao Martial Saint Land, who’s below the Saint Stage probably won’t be a match for him!”

Han Zheng Tian’s eyes were bright as he said, “Girl, I’m extremely interested in your Brother Ling Tian… Won’t you introduce him to me?”

“Father, Brother Ling Tian went into closed-door cultivation the moment he arrived, I’m afraid he’s still…”

Han Xue Nai was shaking her head and was about to tell her father Duan Ling Tian had not come out of closed-door cultivation when a voice from outside interrupted her. “Miss, Young Master Ling Tian wants to see you.” It was one of the servant girls in Han Xue Nai’s mansion.

“Brother Ling Tian came out from his closed-door cultivation?” Han Xue Nai’s eyes brightened immediately when she heard the servant girl’s words. “Hurry up and bring him here.”

“As it turns out, I’m pretty lucky,” Han Zheng Tian said with a smile. At the same time, a hint of profundity could be seen in the depth of his eyes. It was obvious he was mulling over something.

When Duan Ling Tian arrived, he discovered another person next to Han Xue Nai.

That middle-aged man had a dignified aura that slightly pressured him. If Duan Ling Tian had faced him a month ago, he would have been suppressed to point of suffocating.

Even Qing Nu and the City Governor of Greenwave City could not compare to him. Di Jue, the Five-clawed Golden Dragon, would lose to him if he was here.

With a second glance, he could faintly see the resemblance between him and Han Xue Nai. Duan Ling Tian immediately guessed his identity.

Han Zheng Tian, the Mansion Master of Greenwave Han Mansion!

“Brother Ling Tian, you came out from your closed-door cultivation!” Joy was written on Han Xue Nai’s face when she saw Duan Ling Tian. Her mood seemed to have improved significantly.

A knowing smile appeared on Han Zheng Tian’s face when he saw this.

“Yes.” Duan Ling Tian nodded at Han Xue Nai. After he smiled, he looked at Han Zheng Tian and greeted him with a slight bow, “I’m Duan Ling Tian. Greetings to Mansion Master Han.”

Duan Ling Tian did not conceal his identity in front of Han Zheng Tian.

“Haha… Well, well! Duan Ling Tian, I’ve long heard about you from Xue Nai. From your meteoric rise in the Mortal Continent until now. Your future is boundless!” Han Zheng Tian laughed and said, “However, since you’re a friend of Xue Nai, there’s no need for you to be so polite. If you don’t mind, you can address me as Uncle Han.”

Han Zheng Tian could not help but admire Duan Ling Tian’s achievements.

“Brother Ling Tian, this face of yours is too aloof. It’s better to revert to your original appearance. I’m not used to this,” Han Xue Nai said cheekily before she stuck her tongue out.

“Disguise?” Han Zheng Tian was stunned when he heard this.

When Duan Ling Tian had entered the room, he had extended his Divine Consciousness to probe Duan Ling Tian. It surprised him that he could not see through Duan Ling Tian’s cultivation base. Every time he tried to probe him, it seemed as though he had transformed into a bottomless pit. No matter far he extended his Divine Consciousness, there was no end to it. Although he was surprised, he did not pay much attention to it.

The Dao Martial Saint Land was big, there were some Secret Techniques that could hide one’s cultivation base. These Secret Techniques might not even be able to be seen through by a powerful Saint Stage powerhouse.

Han Zheng Tian was not shocked because of that. He was shocked because of Duan Ling Tian’s face. This was because he had checked Duan Ling Tian’s face with his Divine Consciousness earlier, but he did not find any trace of a disguise.

Nevertheless, when he saw Duan Ling Tian’s appearance change into a young man with dashing eyebrows and bright eyes in just a short while, he was stunned again. “T-this…”

He had never seen or heard of such an amazing disguise technique.

Without any external help, he forced the facial muscles on his face to change with his own strength.

Han Zheng Tian’s eyes lit up immediately as though he just recalled something.

“Uncle Han.” Duan Ling Tian smiled and greeted Han Zheng Tian. He was still very impressed with Han Zheng Tian.

At least, he was a responsible man and a responsible father. He did not agree to the proposal from the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion even though Rising Sky Mansion was pressuring the Greenwave Han Mansion.

He was a good father, and someone worthy of his respect.

Following that, Han Zheng Tian began to chat with Duan Ling Tian.

Han Zheng Tian began by telling stories about Han Xue Nai being mischievous when she was young. She was even more mischievous than when she met Duan Ling Tian. She had pulled a lot of pranks and caused a lot of trouble.

“Father, how can you say that? I heard from grandpa that you were also quite a handful when you were young,” Han Xue Nai said in defense.

“Okay, okay… I’ll stop.” Han Zheng Tian shook his head and turned to look at Duan Ling Tian as he said, “Since you’re Xue Nai’s friend, and you’ve agreed to address me as Uncle Han, allow me to address you as Little Tian if you don’t mind.”

Duan Ling Tian smiled and nodded. Naturally, he did not mind.

“Little Tian, Xue Nai told me about the incident in the Southern Ridge Yuan Mansion’s district… Did you really kill Lin Dong, the strongest person on the Heaven Ranking in Southern Ridge Yuan Mansion? Moreover, you killed him after he had broken through to the Saint Stage?” Han Zheng Tian asked curiously as he looked at Duan Ling Tian.

He did not mention the Devilseal Tablet because it was a sensitive matter. He was afraid Duan Ling Tian would overthink things.

He asked the question that was burning in his mind the most, apart from the Devilseal Tablet.

As a Saint Stage powerhouse, he knew what it meant to break through to the Saint Stage. It was not just a quantitative improvement, but it was a qualitative transformation as well!

A Saint Stage powerhouse, even if it was someone who had just broken through, possessed strength that Saint Rudiment Stage Martial and Dao Cultivators could not compare to.

The strongest person on the Heaven Ranking in Greenwave Han Mansion was not inferior to Lin Dong. He was widely acknowledged as the strongest person below the Saint Stage in Greenwave Han Mansion. However, he would still be easily defeated if his opponent whom he had previously defeated suddenly broke through to the Saint Stage!

That was the difference between a non-Saint Stage and Saint Stage powerhouse.

The Saint Stage was a different world.

Due to this reason, he still doubted Duan Ling Tian had killed Lin Dong who had broken through to the Saint Stage since his cultivation base was only at the Saint Rudiment Stage. It was just too outrageous.

“I just got lucky.” Duan Ling Tian was not surprised by Han Zheng Tian’s curiosity, and he smiled in response to his question.

As the Mansion Master of Greenwave Han Mansion, Han Zheng Tian was incredibly perceptive. He could tell from Duan Ling Tian’s body language that he was not lying.

As such, he felt more and more impressed.

“Although I don’t know how you did it, you still managed to do it. I’m afraid not a single person below the Saint Stage in the entire Dao Martial Saint Land is a match for you!” Han Zheng Tian exclaimed.

‘Below the Saint Stage?’ Duan Ling Tian was moved, but he was not affected.

A month ago, he might be elated receiving such praise from Han Zheng Tian. However, he was quite indifferent now. This was because those below the Saint Stage were no longer in his league.

“Brother Ling Tian, I told father about the Devilseal Tablet being in your possession… You don’t blame, right?” At this moment, Han Xue Nai sent a Voice Transmission to Duan Ling Tian. She had been feeling uneasy.

“It’s alright.” Duan Ling Tian sent a Voice Transmission with a smile. “Since your father knows about my real identity, it wouldn’t have taken him long to discover the Devilseal Tablet is in my possession even if you didn’t tell him.”

Han Xue Nai sighed in relief when she heard his words.

“Girl, excuse yourself for a moment. I want to speak to Little Tian for a bit.” Han Zheng Tian suddenly looked at Han Xue Nai and asked her to leave.

“Father.” Han Xue Nai could not help but frown when she heard this. She thought her father was going to break his promise and attack Brother Ling Tian to take possession of the Devilseal Tablet.

“Don’t worry.” As Han Xue Nai’s father, Han Zheng Tian, naturally, knew his daughter’s thoughts. He shook his head to indicate he was not planning to snatch the Devilseal Tablet away from Duan Ling Tian.
