Chapter 2403 The Legacy of a Great Overarching Golden Celestial

Duan Ling Tian still remembered the words Elder Huo had said back then. Elder Huo had used these words to describe the difference between a large and small mundane realm. “Generally, there are two types of mundane realms. One of them is similar to the world in your past life. They consist of planets and galaxies and are extremely vast. They’re inhabited by all kinds of living things. The Devata Realms’ Celestials know them as large mundane realms… The mundane realm we’re in is considered a small mundane realm. As you know, this mundane realm has the Dao Martial Saint Land, the Mortal Continents, and the sea. It has relatively fewer living species.”

The Beyond Heaven Secret Zone was linked to five mundane realms. Apart from the Saint Province Realm that was a small mundane realm, the other four mundane realms were big mundane realms. One of the big mundane realms was also where Duan Ling Tian’s home planet in his past life was located.

While they were traveling, Duan Ling Tian turned to Zhang Yi and asked, “Zhang Yi, how do people in Yan Huang Realm categorize one’s cultivation base? Do you use Saint Celestial Stages to categorize cultivation base as well?” He remembered that Elder Huo had said that the stages of one’s cultivation base had different names in Yan Huang planet and the Saint Province Realm. However, Zhang Yi and the others had mentioned the Saint Celestial Stage earlier, even Rong Bo had said he would not be allowed to join the group if he had not broken through to the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage.

“Yes, of course.” Zhang Yi nodded before he continued to say, “Previously, the Yan Huang Realm had different names for the stages in one’s cultivation base. However, at some point, it was standardized and changed to match the names in the surrounding mundane realms. Currently, the categorization of cultivation base in my, Wang Shi, Lu Xia, and Rong Bo’s mundane realms are the same. If I’m not mistaken, the categorization of cultivation base in the Saint Province Realm should be almost the same, right?”

“Yes.” Duan Ling Tian nodded. After listening to Zhang Yi, he realized Elder Huo did not lie, however, the categorization of cultivation base in Yan Huang Realm had changed instead.

After traveling for some time, Wang Shi’s solemn voice rang in the air. “We should be arriving at the place Lu Xia and I discovered in about two hours…” His eyes brightened as he continued to say, “There are numerous Formations in that place… Based on my observation, I discovered that one of the Formations restricts Bodiless Celestials from entering!”

Rong Bo who had been silent all of this time looked at Wang Shi intently as he asked, “A Formation that restricts Bodiless Celestials from entering? You… Are you sure?”

“Yes.” Wang Shi nodded. “Before entering the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone, I’ve heard that there are some places in the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone that have Formations that restrict Bodiless Celestials from entering. Naturally, the Bodiless Celestial can’t use their Divine Consciousness as well since it’s linked to their souls. In fact, that place seemed to repel our Divine Consciousness as well. We couldn’t even get close with our Divine Consciousness.” He turned to look at Lu Xia as though waiting for her to confirm his words.

“That’s right.” Liu Xia nodded.

“Hm?” Duan Ling Tian raised an eyebrow.

It seemed like Rong Bo became very excited when he learned that Bodiless Celestials were prohibited from entering that place. His eyes were shining brightly and his expressions kept changing as though he knew something about the peerless treasures in that place.

When Duan Ling Tian saw this, he could not help but think to himself, ‘Is it possible that Rong Bo knows something that we don’t?’

Rong Bo’s change in behavior was too obvious. Even Wang Shi and Lu Xia had noticed it.

“Rong Bo, do you know something?” Wang Shi asked with a frown, “If you know something, you should share it with us so that we can be prepared as well. It’ll help us reduce the chances of accidents.”

Rong Bo calmed down slightly when he heard Wang Shi’s words. He shook his head and shrugged as he said, “It’s nothing. I don’t know anything.”

“As far as I know…” Zhang Yi interjected. “In the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone, Bodiless Celestials are prohibited from entering places that contain legacies or inheritance left by Great Overarching Golden Celestials!”

“You!” Rong Bo’s expression changed drastically when he heard Zhang Yi’s words. He glared at Zhang Yi resentfully. He really did not expect Zhang Yi would be privy to this matter. After all, only a few powerful sects in the mundane realms knew that Bodiless Celestials were not allowed to enter places that contained legacies from Great Overarching Golden Celestials! He had no intention of revealing this information at all. Not only did Zhang Yi know about this information, but Zhang Yi even revealed it to everyone! He thought Zhang Yi was an incompetent teammate!

“The legacy of a Great Overarching Golden Celestial?” Duan Ling Tian, Wang Shi, and Liu Xia’s eyes lit up when they heard Zhang Yi’s words. How could they not feel excited? After all, the most valuable thing in the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone was a legacy or inheritance left behind by a Great Overarching Golden Celestial.

Wang Shi took a deep breath to calm down and asked Zhang Yi again for confirmation, “Zhang Yi, are you sure about this?”

“Well, this information has been passed down for generations in our Celestial Masters Sect so it should be true,” Zhang Yi said as he looked at Duan Ling Tian, “Moreover, according to our sect elder, one of the Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestials in our sect, who had entered the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone before, he personally witnessed Feng Qing Yang from the Saint Province Realm enter a place that restricted Bodiless Celestials from entering. At that time, apparently, there were many Bodiless Celestials waiting for him outside to rob him when he came out. However, all those who tried to look for trouble with him were killed. He even managed to kill an Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestial with ten moves! Our sect elder even said he was lucky he didn’t attack Feng Qing Yang. Otherwise, he would’ve been killed by Feng Qing Yang as well. Our sect elder speculated that Feng Qing Yang was capable of such a feat despite only being an Eminent Celestial was due to the legacy left behind by a Great Overarching Golden Celestial.”

Zhang Yi’s words sounded convincing and logical.

Wang Shi and Lu Xia were stunned. “After inheriting the legacy of a Great Overarching Golden Celestial, Feng Qing Yang managed to kill an Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestial despite being an Eminent Celestial?” Previously, they had heard that a prodigious Sword Cultivator from a small mundane realm had successfully obtained a legacy from a Great Overarching Golden Celestial in the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone. However, they were unaware that the prodigious Sword Cultivator managed to kill an Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestial despite being an Eminent Celestial!

After a few moments, Liu Xia seemed to have recalled something. She looked at Rong Bo pointedly and said, “Rong Bo, you knew the place we discovered might contain the legacy of a Great Overarching Golden Celestial, right?”

As soon as Liu Xia finished speaking, Wang Shi fixed a penetrating gaze at Rong Bo as well.

“Well, I knew there’s such a possibility,” Rong Bo said indifferently, “However, not all places that prohibit Bodiless Celestials from entering necessarily have legacies from Great Overarching Golden Celestials. I didn’t want to simply speculate without knowing for sure.”

Liu Xia said angrily, “You’re clearly trying to hide this from us!”

The way Wang Shi looked at Rong Bo became more and more unfriendly as time passed.

Zhang Yi chimed in at this moment, “Generally, even if the places with Formations that prohibit Bodiless Celestials from entering don’t have legacies left by Great Overarching Golden Celestials, they would still have clues that lead to legacies left by Great Overarching Golden Celestials at the very least. So, it’s highly probable that the place Wang Shi and Lu Xia discovered isn’t that simple.”

Zhang Yi’s words, once again, earned him a glare from Rong Bo. Rong Bo truly thought Zhang Yi had a big mouth.

At this moment, Duan Ling Tian was completely distracted by the possibility of finding a legacy from a Great Overarching Golden Celestial. He thought to himself, ‘With my current strength, I should be even stronger than Senior Feng Qing Yang if I manage to obtain the legacy from a Great Overarching Golden Celestial!’

Excitement rose in Duan Ling Tian’s heart when he thought about this. After he regained his senses, he could not help but urge Wang Shi, “We should continue with our journey!”

…

After about two hours, Wang Shi’s voice rang in the air again.

“We’re here.”

Duan Ling Tian looked down and saw sharp ridges and u-shaped valleys filled with greeneries. He was currently hovering above a mountain valley. Although the valley was not small, it was extremely narrow. It was shrouded by a grey fog that obscured his view.

After a while, Duan Ling Tian realized that not only could they not use their Divine Consciousness to enter the place, but they could not even exert their Divine Consciousness.
