Chapter 2413 The Next Clue

“Extraordinary Celestial Supreme Treasures are extremely rare and valuable. Let alone the major forces in Yan Huang Realm, it’s almost unheard of even in the Devata Realms…” Zhang Yi said as he glanced at Duan Ling Tian since he knew Duan Ling Tian used to possess the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda. He sighed as he said, “It’s really unfortunate that you lost the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda. Otherwise, you’ll definitely be even stronger than you are now! Although the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda is not an offensive Celestial Supreme Treasure, the Jasper Celestial Sword is a top Celestial Weapon. With it, your strength would rise another level!” He sounded very confident when he spoke about this.

Duan Ling Tian only smiled bitterly in response. He had long known about these things that Zhang Yi said.

Zhang Yi said in an attempt to reassure Duan Ling Tian, “Anyway, don’t worry. It’s unlikely that there’s an Eminent Celestial with strength comparable to a Seven Tribulation Bodiless Celestial in the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone. Moreover, even the major forces in Yan Huang Realm have one or two common Celestial Supreme Treasures at the most. I haven’t heard of any forces that have a rare Celestial Supreme Treasure”

Duan Ling Tian nodded. He sighed in relief inwardly after he heard Zhang Yi’s words. Since the strongest Eminent Celestials were comparable to Six Tribulation Bodiless Celestials and it was unlikely that there were Eminent Celestials comparable to Seven Tribulation Bodiless Celestials, he no longer had to worry about the competition. With his strength, he was far stronger than all of them. He felt extremely confident at this moment. After all, if he unleashed all his strength and techniques, and used the Celestial Sword, his strength was comparable to a Seven Tribulation Bodiless Celestial! Currently, he was two levels stronger than Feng Qing Yang before Feng Qing Yang had obtained the inheritance from a Great Overarching Golden Celestial.

After a while, a frown appeared on Duan Ling Tian’s face as he thought to himself, ‘I remember one of Senior Feng Qing Yang’s competitors was an Eminent Celestial with strength comparable to a Six Tribulation Bodiless Celestial… Senior Feng Qing Yang’s strength was only comparable to a Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestial at that time. How did he manage to obtain the inheritance from a Great Overarching Golden Celestial then?’

According to Zhang Yi, all of the Eminent Celestials, including the Eminent Celestial with strength comparable to a Six Tribulation Bodiless Celestial, were killed. Sword Saint Feng Qing Yang was the last one standing and managed to obtain the inheritance from a Great Overarching Golden Celestial!

“Zhang Yi,” Duan Ling Tian turned to Zhang Yi and asked, “At that time, Senior Feng Qing Yang only had strength comparable to a Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestial. How did he manage to obtain the inheritance from a Great Overarching Golden Celestial when there was an Eminent Celestial whose strength was comparable to a Six Tribulation Bodiless Celestial around?”

“I’m not sure as well,” Zhang Yi shook his head and said, “However, I have my own theory. It’s similar to all the theories in our Yan Huang Realm.”

“Please tell me,” Duan Ling Tian said eagerly.

“Many people, like me, assume that the Sword Cultivator, Feng Qing Yang, from your Saint Province Realm, obtained a Celestial Supreme Treasure while he was fighting with the other Eminent Celestials. We suspect that the Celestial Supreme Treasure was a Celestial Sword. Since he’s a Sword Cultivator, a Celestial Sword was definitely beneficial to him. At that time, his strength was comparable to Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestial, however, with the addition of a Celestial Sword, his strength would be comparable to a Six Tribulation Bodiless Celestial! This way, it makes sense how he managed to obtain the inheritance left by a Great Overarching Golden Celestial,” Zhang Yi explained patiently.

When Duan Ling Tian heard Zhang Yi’s words, his eyes brightened like the stars in the night sky. “You’re right! Why didn’t I think of this?”

Duan Ling Tian had forgotten about this because Feng Qing Yang’s strength came from his complete mastery of the Sovereign Heart Sword. He did not rely on any Divine Abilities from the Devata Realms at all to gain his strength that was comparable to a Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestial. He had assumed that even if Feng Qing Yang had obtained any extraordinary techniques or Divine Abilities in the secret zone, he would not have the time to completely master it. He had forgotten that if Feng Qing Yang had obtained a Celestial Supreme Treasure, he could use it immediately to raise his strength!

Duan Ling Tian was still lost in his thoughts when he felt the Feng Shui compass vibrating in his hand. The needle was spinning around as though it had gone crazy. “Have we arrived?” He looked around and discovered he was hovering above a vast lake. The surface of the lake was so calm that it looked like a mirror. “Is it possible that the second treasure vault is in the lake?”

“Hmm?” When Duan Ling Tian was surveying the lake beneath his feet, the Feng Shui compass began to vibrate violently again. He could clearly sense a force brewing in the Feng Shui compass. Although the force was not particularly strong, if it went out of control, it was more than capable of destroying the Feng Shui compass.

Duan Ling Tian quickly prepared to suppress the force that was running amok in the Feng Shui compass. However, to his surprise, the material that the Feng Shui compass was made from blocked his energy from entering the compass. He thought to himself, ‘It seems like the Feng Shui compass no longer serves a purpose…’

As soon as that thought rose in Duan Ling Tian’s mind, he did not hesitate as he threw the Feng Shui compass, and it flew hundreds of meters away.

“Duan Ling Tian?” Zhang Yi and Liu Xia were, naturally, stunned by Duan Ling Tian’s sudden action of throwing the Feng Shui compass away.

Bang!

Before Duan Ling Tian could reply to them, the sound of an explosion rang in the air.

Zhang Yi and Liu Xia saw the Feng Shui compass that had been thrown out by Duan Ling Tian had exploded into nothingness.

“It has served its purpose. We’ll have to rely on ourselves next,” Duan Ling Tian explained when he saw Zhang Yi and Liu Xia looking to him for an explanation. After speaking, he turned to study the lake beneath his feet.

Zhang Yi looked at the lake as well as he muttered, “So there’s either an inheritance from a Great Overarching Golden Celestial or clues leading to it in this lake?”

Liu Xia grumbled. “Similar to the valley, my Divine Consciousness is restricted here as well.”

Duan Ling Tian had also discovered that his Divine Consciousness was being suppressed by a force from the lake. Due to this reason, he was convinced their destination was the lake. He beckoned to Zhang Yi and Liu Xia before he said, “Let’s go!”

Splash! Splash! Splash!

The sound of water splashing rang in the air as they entered the lake. It did not take long before the surface regained its calmness.

Once they entered the lake, it did not take long before they encountered a Formation.

Challenges presented themselves to the three people one after another. However, it was easy for Duan Ling Tian to deal with these challenges. With the valley serving as a lesson, he became more prudent in protecting Zhang Yi and Liu Xia. They passed the challenges smoothly and obtained the next clue.

Liu Xia had a gloomy expression on her face as she said, “This is not where the inheritance from a Great Overarching Golden Celestial is located…”

“This is only our second stop, and you’re expecting to find the inheritance from a Great Overarching Golden Celestial? Aren’t you being too greedy?” Zhang Yi shook his head.

“Let’s go! Let’s go to our next destination!” Duan Ling Tian said excitedly as he looked at the new Feng Shui compass in his hand.

They did not waste any time and began to travel to their next destination. After a while, Liu Xia who was extremely sharp-sighted suddenly cried out, “There’s someone up ahead!”

As soon as Liu Xia had spoken, Duan Ling Tian also discovered the people up ahead.

“There’s two of them!” Zhang Yi said. He saw two figures flying in the distance. Based on their speed, he could tell they were at the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage.

After a while, three of them saw another four people trailing after the first two people.

“Why is everyone heading in that direction?” Three of them were puzzled.

“That’s…” Duan Ling Tian suddenly narrowed his eyes. He had just seen another figure flying in that direction. However, his speed was so fast that Zhang Yi and Liu Xia did not notice him at all. With Duan Ling Tian’s strength, it was not difficult for him to determine the other person’s cultivation base. “Four Tribulation Bodiless Celestial!”

After a while, Duan Ling Tian said to his companions, “Let’s check it out!” He made a decision to have a look at the place where everyone seemed to be going even though it was not the direction where the needle of the Feng Shui compass was leading them to. After all, the last time he encountered such a situation, he managed to obtain the Celestial Sword!
