4210 Escaping Ahead of Time

Duan Ling Tian felt rather speechless that Lang Chun Yuan pushed him into the limelight.

‘Even if she doesn’t like being the center of attention, she doesn’t have to drag me into the spotlight, right? Does she think I like being the center of attention?’ Google seaʀᴄh novelenglish.net . ꜰirᴇ.nᴇt

Duan Ling Tian still remembered the first time he had left the Inner Palace faction’s realm with Lang Chun Yuan. At that time, she had been rather envious when she saw that everyone’s attention was on him. He shook his head inwardly as he thought to himself, ‘Women are too fickle…’

“Junior brother, let’s return! I’ve already contacted Third Senior Brother to meet us! He was shocked when he received my message. It seems like our progress in the Trial of Gods scared him! Who knew our Third Senior Brother would have such a day? Junior brother, you have to work hard! Among the five members of the Inner Palace faction, you’re the only one who has yet to enter the realm of a Supreme God!”

Duan Ling Tian listened to Lang Chun Yuan as they made their way back to the Inner Palace faction, and he felt speechless again.

‘How old are all of you? Can you really compare yourself to me? Do you even know what shame is?’

Duan Ling Tian decided against voicing his thoughts to Lang Chun Yuan, but Lang Chun Yuan continued to harp on the matter like an elder lecturing a junior. In the end, he could no longer hold back so he said, “Fourth Senior Sister, I’m not even 900 years old…”

Lang Chun Yuan fell silent immediately. Then, after a few breaths, she said awkwardly, “I… I forgot that you’re not even 900 years old… Alright, alright…”

Finally, Duan Ling Tian had a moment of peace. Alas, it was short-lived since Yang Yu Chen returned soon after.

Yang Yu Chen did not pay attention to Lang Chun Yuan. Instead, he stared at Duan Ling Tian for a few moments before he exclaimed, “Amazing!” Then, he said with a sigh, “Junior brother, I have no doubt that you’ve made the biggest progress among everyone who entered the Trial of Gods…”

When Yang Yu Chen heard from Lang Chun Yuan that Duan Ling Tian had already become an advanced Emperor of Gods and stabilized his cultivation base. Just as Lang Chun Yuan had said earlier, he was indeed frightened by Duan Ling Tian’s progress. He had rushed back immediately to confirm her words, and after doing so, he felt slightly complicated as he thought to himself, ‘I indeed found a great member for the faction. Alas, he won’t stay in the academy for long. It seems like Fourth Junior Sister will have to hold down the fort in the faction for a long time until she can find a junior to pass the mantle to…’

Yang Yu Chen did not give voice to his thoughts. He knew that Lang Chun Yuan would refuse him immediately.

Duan Ling Tian smiled faintly as he said, “I was just lucky. My strength is still far from that of Third Senior Brother…”

“Why are you comparing your strength to mine?” Yang Yu Chen shook his head and said, “When I was your age, my strength was nowhere close to yours… Among us fellow members, even our Eldest Senior Sister, who’s the most outstanding, can’t compare to you at your age…”

This was not the first time Duan Ling Tian had heard about how talented his Eldest Senior Sister was. He had been told that his Eldest Senior Sister’s talent was even more exaggerated than that of his Fourth Senior Sister.

“Third Senior Brother, was Eldest Senior Sister already a Supreme God at Fourth Senior Sister’s age?”

Yang Yu Chen was stunned upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s question. Then, he smiled faintly as he said, “At Fourth Junior Sister’s age, Eldest Senior Sister was already a rudimentary Supreme God who killed many intermediate Supreme Gods.”

Duan Ling Tian was shocked by Yang Yu Chen’s words. ‘Eldest Senior Sister is so heaven-defying?’

At this time, Lang Chun Yuan shook her head and said, “Junior brother, I can’t compare to Eldest Senior Sister at all.”

When Lang Chun Yuan spoke about her Eldest Senior Sister, her eyes shone with a hint of fanaticism, making her look like an overenthusiastic fan.

“Fourth Junior Sister, there’s no need to be so modest,” Yang Yu Chen said with a smile, “At the very least, you’re much more talented than me and Second Senior Brother. Fortunately, we have junior brother now. Otherwise, Second Senior Brother and I would look rather bad compared to you and Eldest Senior Sister…”

In Yang Yu Chen’s opinion, among the five members of the Inner Palace faction, Duan Ling Tian was undoubtedly number one in regard to talent and comprehension skills. Following that was his Eldest Senior Sister in second place, his Fourth Junior Sister in third place, him in fourth place, and his Second Senior Brother in last place.

Before Yang Yu Chen took charge of the Inner Palace faction, his Second Senior Brother had been the one in charge of the faction. His Eldest Senior Sister had never officially taken charge of the faction. She rarely appeared in front of people in the Myriad Laws Academy, and as such, only a handful of people knew about her existence. For this reason, many people thought that Yang Yu Chen was a peerless genius of the Myriad Laws Academy. Previously, when Lang Chun Yuan made her debut, people thought that her talent was not inferior to his and might even surpass his. However, after the Trial of Gods, there was no doubt in anyone’s mind that the biggest prodigy was Duan Ling Tian, his junior brother.

Lang Chun Yuan said with a giggle, “Junior brother is the most awesome! However, no matter how awesome he is, he’s still my junior brother!” Then, she assumed the tone of an elder before she said to Duan Ling Tian, “Junior brother, when you become more powerful than me, you have to remember to protect me.”

Lang Chun Yuan was older than Duan Ling Tian, but her appearance and behavior were incongruent with her age.

Duan Ling Tian had already gotten used to Lang Chun Yuan’s behavior. He replied without missing a beat, “Of course! Whoever dares to bully Fourth Senior Sister will have to answer to me! I won’t let him or her go!”

Lang Chun Yuan smiled in delight upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words. She felt that she did not dote on her junior brother in vain.

At this time, Yang Yu Chen said, “Junior brother, Fourth Senior Sister, tell me about your experiences in the Trial of Gods.”

Under normal circumstances, Yang Yu Chen would not be so curious. However, Duan Ling Tian’s progress was simply too exaggerated, stimulating his curiosity. He had only included Lang Chun Yan perfunctorily since he was afraid she would be jealous if he did not include her. Moreover, he still planned to let her take over the Inner Palace faction so he could enter the Realm Battlefield.

Duan Ling Tian was just about to speak when Lang Chun Yuan cried out, “Me first! Me first!”

Duan Ling Tian smiled faintly as he looked at Lang Chun Yuan, patiently waiting for her to recount her experiences in the Trial of Gods.

Duan Ling Tian was aware of some of the things she went through such as the time she killed almost all of the advanced Emperors of Gods in the capital of the Soaring Divine Kingdom. In his opinion, her actions were highly dangerous. Fortunately, she did not meet with any accidents. He was also naturally aware of her experiences during their time in Destiny Canyon.

…

While the trio from the Inner Palace faction chatted happily, news of Duan Ling Tian becoming an advanced Emperor of Gods had spread throughout the Myriad Laws Academy, shocking everyone.

An advanced Lord of Gods became an advanced Emperor of Gods and completely stabilized his cultivation base in just three years. The next step for him was to break through into the realm of a Supreme God.

…

Soon after, the news spread out from the Myriad Laws Academy to various heavyweight supreme-rank forces.

Initially, many people who heard the news were very dismissive due to how exaggerated it was. They did not even bother to report the news to their respective superiors. They were forced to believe the news after they verified the news thrice. Needless to say, everyone was shocked and frightened by Duan Ling Tian’s progress.

“Duan Ling Tian from the Myriad Laws Academy is actually so monstrously talented?”

“If I had known he’s so amazing, I would’ve personally gone to the Pure Yang Sect to invite him to join our sect! What a pity that I missed such an opportunity!”

“I remember the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation has enmity with Duan Ling Tian, right? I’m afraid the people from the congregation won’t be able to sit still after receiving this news…”

“They might take the initiative to extend an olive branch. After all, Duan Ling Tian is simply too heaven-defying. Currently, he might not be a threat to the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation, but this won’t be the case in the future…”

“Given enough time, Duan Ling Tian will definitely become a supreme powerhouse. All he needs is time.”

…

The Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation, a heavyweight supreme-rank force, naturally also received news about Duan Ling Tian’s progress.

The Leader of the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation instantly called for a meeting with all of his vice leaders, except for Lu Tian Feng. He had ordered for Lu Tian Feng to be captured as soon as he confirmed the veracity of the news. If he and his men could not find a chance to deal with Duan Ling Tian before he grew into his potential, he planned to send Lu Tian Feng to Duan Ling Tian so that Duan Ling Tian could vent his anger.

Needless to say, unless he was 100% certain of his success, he would not easily make a move against Duan Ling Tian. After all, if Duan Ling Tian survived, there was no doubt that Duan Ling Tian would fight the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation to his last breath.

In any case, all of his anger was directed toward Lu Tian Feng at this moment, and his anger only grew when he discovered that Lu Tian Feng was a step ahead of him and had already left the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation.

“He left?!”

…

In fact, Lu Tian Feng did not leave the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation because someone informed him of the leader’s intention to capture him. He had decisively left the congregation as soon as he received news from the Myriad Laws Academy.

How could he not understand what kind of limitless potential someone who became an advanced Emperor of Gods and stabilized his cultivation base within three years possessed? This feat was not only unprecedented in the Profound Energy Land but in the other Realms of Gods as well.

It was also not difficult for him to guess what the Leader of the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation would do after receiving the news. He knew the leader and the other vice leaders would definitely try to capture him to appease Duan Ling Tian. As such, he did not hesitate and quickly escaped.

“Damn it! Not only did that damn Duan Ling Tian survive the Trial of Gods, but he even had such an amazing fortuitous encounter!”

For Duan Ling Tian to become an advanced Emperor of Gods from an advanced Lord of Gods in three years, Lu Tian Feng did not believe that Duan Ling Tian did not have any fortuitous encounter.
