Chapter 3129: The Leaving Willow Mansion

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

A group of elders and disciples from the Profound Nether Mansion discussed this matter fervently among themselves before they concluded Duan Ling Tian, an outer court disciple, who had only entered the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm less than two hours ago must have cheated. Otherwise, how could a young man who was not even 100 years old make it into the top 100?

“Is that why Inspector Qi brought him here? However, what’s the point if he only ranks in the top 100? Shouldn’t Inspector Qi bring someone who can rank in the top 20 if he intends on cheating?” someone speculated out loud.

“There’s only a few days left before the ranking is reset. Isn’t it too late for him to cheat his way into the top 20?”

“Not necessarily… If there are enough people from other Celestial Mansions in the middle realm, it’s possible for him to rank in the top 20.”

“You have a point. It seems like Inspector Qi found external help to raise the Profound Nether Mansion’s ranking into the top 20.”

“Since when did the Profound Nether Mansion need to resort to cheating to rank in the top 20?”

Most elders and disciples from the Profound Nether Mansion could not help but sight. In their opinion, the Profound Nether Mansion did not need to stoop so low just to rank in the top 20.

Naturally, there were others who held different opinions as well.

“It doesn’t make sense to me that the mansion would seek someone who’s less than 100 years old for help… If that’s the case, wouldn’t it be easier to ask Senior Zhou Hong Jie to get those from other Celestial Mansions to give him their points? Why would they expend so much effort just to recruit a weak lad who’s not even 100 years old.”

“However, if he weren’t brought here to cheat, how did such a young lad rank in the top 100 in such a short time?”

“Well, there’s a possibility he encountered two opponents who were fighting and took advantage of the situation to defeat the two opponents when they were greatly weakened from their battle…”

“That’s not entirely impossible… Maybe he’s just really lucky…”

“Well, we’ll be able to tell if he’s just lucky or if he’s cheating based on his points. If his points increase, he has to be cheating. Otherwise, his points should stay as they are.”

“If I were him, I would have left immediately. He’s not even 100 years old, what kind of strength could he possess? Anyone in the middle realm could easily kill him!”

In the end, most people felt that If the Profound Nether Mansion really wanted to cheat, they could have sent Zhou Hong Jie, the strongest Ten Directions Celestial Duke in the mansion. Although Zhou Hong Jie had not ranked in the top 20 for almost a year now, he was only a few points away from entering the top 20. The more they discussed the matter, the more they were convinced that Duan Ling Tian managed to rank in the top 100 due to a stroke of good luck.

Nevertheless, these people still kept an eye on Duan Ling Tian’s name on the scoreboard to see if his ranking would improve. Even if it was all due to luck, it was still impressive that he managed to obtain six points in less than two hours after he entered the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm. Moreover, this was unprecedented in the Profound Nether Mansion.

…

In the Leaving Willo Mansion’s estate.

The Leaving Willow Mansion was a six-grade Celestial Mansion that had equal status with the Profound Nether Mansion in the Southern Heaven Territory.

There were two Transporting Formations to the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm in the Leaving Willow Mansion’s estate.

In one of the Transporting Formation sites, a pitiful-looking figure appeared before another figure appeared next to it. The two figures’ sudden appearance drew the attention of the elders and disciples of the Leaving Willow Mansion. Most of them seemed to recognize the two figures.

“Hong Ji? Tong Qi Shan?”

“Hong Ji, Tong Qi Shan, based on your conditions, it seems like both of you left by crushing your Accumulative Point Jadess, right?” a middle-aged disciple asked, clearly surprised.

Tong Qi Shan nodded as he supported Hong Ji to stabilize his footing. “We surrendered this time.”

“When both of you work together, even those who ranked at the bottom of the top 100 might not necessarily be a match for both of you… The person who managed to make both of you yield has to be extraordinary. Who was it that made both of you surrender?” an old disciple asked.

“I’ve never heard of him until today,” Tong Qi Shan said with a bitter smile, “His name is Duan Ling Tian.” Then, after glancing at the scoreboard, he added, “After obtaining our points, he has now made it into the top 100 on the scoreboard.”

’93rd… Although he has just entered not too long ago, with his strength, there’s no problem for him to make it into the top 50 if he’s lucky enough to meet people in there…’ Tong Qi Shan thought to himself. Since he had witnessed Duan Ling Tian’s strength, he knew Duan Ling Tian was more than capable of ranking in the top 40 or top 50. However, due to it being the end of the month, Duan Ling Tian had to depend on luck to see if he could meet people in there.

Upon hearing Tong Qi Shan’s words, the elders and disciples from the Leaving Willow Mansion shifted their eyes to the scoreboard.

“Duan Ling Tian?”

“There it is! 93rd place!”

“He’s a disciple from the Profound Nether Mansion? I’ve never heard of him before. Since when did such a person appear in the Profound Nether Mansion?”

“I know every single Ten Directions Celestial Dukes who are powerful in the Profound Nether Mansion… However, I’ve never heard of him.”

“Where did he come from? Since he’s capable of defeating Hong Ji and Tong Qi Shan, it’s impossible that none of us has heard of him before!”

After discussing among themselves for a while, the group of elders and disciples discovered none of them had heard of Duan Ling Tian before. Therefore, they turned to look at Hong Ji and Tong Qi Shan for answers.

An elder asked Tong Qi Shan, “Tong Qi Shan, to be able to make both of you surrender, he must have comprehended six profundities at least, right?”

Tong Qi Shan nodded. His expression was solemn as he said, “Not only did he comprehend six profundities, but the six profundities are from the law of space!”

Silence descended after his words fell.

Six profundities of the law of space? The law of space was the toughest law to comprehend among the Four Supreme Laws. Even in the Leaving Willow Mansion, there was only one person who comprehended more than six profundities from the law of space. That person was an elder with a high status, a Celestial Lord of the Leaving Willow Mansion! However, according to Tong Qi Shan, just a mere disciple from the Profound Nether Mansion had already comprehended six profundities from the law of space?

“Tong Qi Shan, are you sure? I’ve never heard of any Ten Directions Celestial Duke in the Profound Nether Mansion who has comprehended six profundities from the law of space…” a disciple said skeptically.

“Let alone six profundities from the law of space, I don’t think I’ve heard of any outstanding Ten Directions Celestial Duke who has comprehended the law of space. Tong Qi Shan, are you sure you’re not mistaken?” another elder asked skeptically.

Swoosh!

As the crowd looked at Tong Qi Shan with doubtful expressions on their faces, Tong Qi Shan raised his hand and brought a pearl out.

“Floating Image Pearl!”

The crowd’s eyes lit up when they saw the Floating Image Pearl that was laying in Tong Qi Shan’s palm.

Swoosh!

After Tong Qi Shan sent his Celestial Origin Energy into the Floating Image Pearl, the recording of the battle earlier began to play in front of the elders and disciples of the Leaving Willow Mansion. There were two figures in the recording. One of them belonged to Hong Ji, a Ten Directions Celestial Duke who had comprehended five profundities from the law of metal. The other figure belonged to an unfamiliar purple-clad young man.

“Hong Ji is attacking!”

In the recording, the crowd saw Hong Ji charging toward Duan Ling Tian with his body seemingly protected by a layer of metal. His net of golden saber rays seemed capable of destroying everything that stood in its path. To their surprise, at the critical moment, Duan Ling Tian suddenly vanished into thin air like a ghost before reappearing 100 meters away from Hong Ji.

An elder exclaimed in shock, “That’s the law of space’s Teleportation Profundity!”

“The law of space’s Teleportation Profundity?”

The crowd was stunned upon seeing this. It was widely known that among the profundities from the law of space, the Teleportation Profundity was the most difficult to comprehend.

At this moment, a disciple’s eyes widened as he cried out, “Look at his identity token! He’s an outer disciple of the Profound Nether Mansion!”
