Chapter 2236 Is Dark Violet Really the Limit?

Xing Yuan Ba, the Vice Palace Master of the Great Spirit Palace, and Gongsun Jin, the Vice Hall Master of the Azure Sheen Hall, stared at Wu Tian Jin, the Vice Palace Master of Crimson Blaze Palace, as soon as he finished speaking.

Vice Palace Master Wu, based on your words, did someone from the Crimson Blaze Palace died in there?” Gongsun Jin asked solemnly.

Although Xing Yuan Ba remained silent, he was staring intently at Wu Tian Jin. A subtle curious expression could be seen on his face as well. It was obvious he also wanted to know what Wu Tian Jing had to say.

“Yes.” Wu Tian Jin nodded in response to Gongsun Jin’s question. A vicious glint flashed in his eyes as he said, “My godson along with some direct disciples of the elders from the Crimson Blaze Palace have died… Their Soul Pearls had shattered at almost the same time.”

As soon as Wu Tian Jin finished speaking, Xing Yuan Ba and Gongsun Jin’s expression darkened immediately.

Gongsun Jin said in a low voice, “Both of my direct disciples, as well as the direct disciples of several elders, have died as well after they came here together to explore the ruin… It seems like the Azure Sheen Hall isn’t the only place that’s in this situation!”

“My son died in there as well,” Xing Yuan Ba finally said. Sorrow could be heard in his voice when he spoke.

“Theoretically speaking, this ruin that’s suspected to be left behind by a Celestial-grade Saint Inscription Master shouldn’t be able to kill so many people even if there is a lot of killing Formations inside… Moreover, there were many cultivators at the Sixth and Seven Form of the Saint Celestial Stage among them!” Wu Tian Jin said through gritted teeth as he surveyed the stone forest below him.

The stone forest was the entrance to the ruin that was suspected to be left behind by a Celestial-grade Saint Inscription Master.

“There’s only one Celestial-grade Saint Inscription Master in the history of the Saint Province Realm… From what we know, the Celestial-grade Saint Inscription Master’s cultivation didn’t even reach the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage! Something left behind by someone like that shouldn’t be so dangerous!” Gongsun Jin said.

They had heard about the ruin that was suspected to be left behind by a Celestial-grade Saint Inscription Master, but they did not bother coming to explore the ruin. This was because they did not think the Celestial-grade Saint Inscription Master would leave behind a 10,000 Inscriptions Saint Weapon or Super Saint Weapon. Apart from that, they did not think they would find anything worthy of their time in there. Since many elite cultivators from the factions had come, they did not think the elite cultivators would have a problem dealing with any troubles that came their way.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Soon after, the sound of wind howling could be heard again.

The group of people who arrived were mostly burly middle-aged men. Their physiques were comparable to those from the Great Spirit Palace.

“Lord Yuan Ba!”

“Lord Vice Palace Master!”

When they appeared, they instantly bowed at Xing Yuan Ba respectfully.

“Why are you here?” Xing Yuan Ba asked with a frown. These burly middle-aged men were all elders from the Great Spirit Palace. An ominous feeling rose in his heart when he saw them here.

One of the middle-aged burly men tried to suppress his emotions as he said to Xing Yuan Ba, “Lord Vice Palace Master, my son has died! He was in the ruin left behind by the human Celestial-grade Saint Inscription Master when his Soul Pearl shattered!”

“My direct disciple has died in there!”

“My nephew as well.”

All the other burly men responded to Xing Yuan Ba’s question. Their expressions were grim when they spoke.

Xing Yuan Ba’s expression turned even grimmer when he heard the words of the elders from the Great Spirit Palace… Suddenly…

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The sound of wind howling reverberated in the air again. It caught everyone’s attention immediately.

People from the five halls of the Human-Devil clan’s Three Palaces and Six Halls had arrived as well.

One of the leaders of the five factions began to speak, and it became clear that many young powerhouses from the five halls had died in the ruin that was suspected to be left behind by the Celestial-grade Saint Inscription Master as well.

It did not take long before more and more people arrived. These people were also from various forces in the Human- Devil clan. However, none was as strong as the Three Palaces and Six Halls.

Lei Luo, an elder from the Azure Sheen Hall, said with a frown, “Is this really the ruin that was left behind by the Celestial-grade Saint Inscription Master? It doesn’t make sense for it to be so dangerous…”

“I agree! If this is really the ruin left behind by the Celestial-grade Saint Inscription Master, there’s only one possibility left. Some powerhouse must be killing all the young powerhouses from the Human-Devil clan in there!” Jiang Zhen, an elder from the Great Spirit Palace, said in a low voice.

As soon as Jiang Zhen finished speaking, many people’s eyes flashed viciously. If there was really a powerhouse out to kill their elite disciples, they would not let this matter go!

Someone in the crowd asked, “Among the Three Palaces and Six Hall, everyone’s here except for the Wandering Saint Palace. Is it possible that no one from the Wandering Saint Palace died?”

In just an instant, everyone began to look around their surroundings. Indeed. Why was there nobody from the Wandering Saint Palace present on the scene?

Everyone was deep in thoughts when…

Whoosh!

The sound of wind whistling could be heard from the entrance to the ruin that was left behind by a Celestial-grade Saint Inscription Master.

Everyone instantly turned to look over. They saw a man flying up into the sky.

The moment the young man exited the stone forest, he felt everyone’s burning gazes on him. He met the burning gazes that felt as though they were burning a hole through him and he was frightened to the core by the people he saw.

Xing Yuan Ba, the Vice Palace Master of Great Spirit Palace, Wu Tian Jin, the Vice Palace Master of Crimson Blaze Palace, Gongsun Jin, the Vice Hall Master of Azure Sheen Hall, and a few others from the King Kong Hall are here!’

He was scared witless. Why were these people here?

Somebody in the crowd recognized the young man who had just exited the ruin and cried out, “Huang Qi Ling! He’s Wandering Saint Palace’s Huang Qi Ling!”

“Huang Qi Ling? The son of Vice Palace Master Huang of the Wandering Saint Palace? The former prodigy among the younger generation in the Wandering Saint Palace?”

“It’s him!”

“He’s merely a cultivator at the Third Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, but he survived? Moreover, it seems like he’s completely unharmed!”

More and more people began to recognize Huang Qi Ling.

Earlier, after Duan Ling Tian had saved Huang Qi Ling, he had waited for a while for Duan Ling Tian to show up. However, he decided to leave after gathering the treasures from the people Duan Ling Tian had killed when he realized Duan Ling Tian did not intend to show himself. Due to Duan Ling Tian’s assistance, this trip was very fruitful for him. He continued to investigate a few more passageways before he finally decided to leave for good. He did not expect to see such a huge group of people as soon as he exited the place.

It seemed like among the Three Palaces and Six Halls, the Wandering Saint Palace was the only one not present. All the high-ranking officials from the other palaces and halls were present.

What the hell is happening here?’ Huang Qi Ling was puzzled. Not even in his wildest dreams would he expect that all these high-ranking officials were here due to the person he had befriended earlier, Duan Ling Tian.

Duan Ling Tian had killed many Human-Devils in the ruin and devoured their Innate Spiritual Roots. He only spared the Devil Cultivators from the Wandering Saint Palace. Apart from that, he also helped Huang Wen Jing, the strongest prodigy among the younger generation in the Wandering Saint Palace, to improve her indigo Innate Spiritual Root into a violet one.

Currently, I’m only one step away from having a really dark violet Innate Spiritual Root like Ke’er!’ Duan Ling Tian was in a good mood as he journeyed back to the Human-Devil Saint City. Once he possessed a dark violet Innate Spiritual Root, his cultivation speed in the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land would be similar to when he still possessed the Celestial Supreme Treasure, the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda.

After a while, a thought appeared unbidden in his mind. ‘I wonder if a dark violet Innate Spiritual Root is really the highest grade of Innate Spiritual Roots… Is there a higher grade of Innate Spiritual Root?’ Duan Ling Tian became excited when he thought about this. If there was a higher grade of Innate Spiritual Root, did it not mean that his cultivation speed would be even faster than when he possessed the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda?

I should try out my theory when I return…’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself excitedly.
