Chapter 2296 The Celestial Ascension Tribulation
Duan Ling Tian caught everyone’s attention when he arrived. In fact, he garnered even more attention than Yuwen Hao Chen who was about to undergo his Celestial Ascension Tribulation! If his identity was not exposed, and he was still the Vice Palace Master of Wandering Saint Palace, he would not be so eye-catching. Everyone’s attention was on him because he was the Young Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion, one of the human forces in the Dao Martial Saint Land!
“If I’m not mistaken, Duan Ling Tian didn’t come alone to the Wandering Saint Palace three years ago. He came with a pair of twin sisters and a little girl,” a disciple of Wandering Saint Palace suddenly said.
“The little girl should be the young girl by his side. And the other two women look identical so they must be the twins.” “This pair of twin sisters look identical, but they have different bearings. Duan Ling Tian is really lucky!”
“That’s not the point. The point is that his companions must be humans as well!”
As the elders and the disciples of Wandering Saint Palace discussed among themselves, their attention gradually shifted to the three ladies next to Duan Ling Tian. Since they had come with him, it was not difficult for them to guess the ladies were humans as well.
Peng Lai who was standing behind Duan Ling Tian suddenly heard a voice. “Peng Lai, how can you be so foolish?” He was no stranger to this voice. It belonged to his best friend who was also an elder in the Wandering Saint Palace.
“What’s going through your mind? Duan Ling Tian is the Young Mansion Master of the Azure Cloud Mansion… Based on the current situation, I don’t think he can leave the palace alive! Won’t you get yourself killed if you continue to follow him?” The elder clearly cared about Peng Lai. A hint of anxiety could be heard in his voice when he spoke.
Upon hearing the elder’s words, Peng Lai’s heart was moved, but at the same time, he felt rather helpless. He wanted to leave Duan Ling Tian as well, but he was compelled to stay with him due to the lightning penalty oath. If he left Duan Ling Tian, he would be instantly struck dead by lightning. He might be killed for following Duan Ling Tian, but at least, he would be able to survive for a few more days. He was really afraid of the lightning penalty. He still had hopes that his master could create a miracle even though the situation seemed rather bleak. After all, his master was not an ordinary person. He was able to improve other people’s Innate Spiritual Root! This seemed like the ability of a Celestial to him!
Suddenly…
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The sound of wind whistled in the air as many figures appeared from all directions. In just a blink of an eye, they appeared near the mansion of the Palace Master of Wandering Saint Palace.
A strong and tall figure was the first to appear in front of Shi Nan Feng, the Palace Master of Great Spirit Palace. He bowed reverently at Shi Nan Feng. “Lord Palace Master!” It was a young man dressed in blue robes. Although the blue robe was large, it was tight on his body. The outline of his muscles could be seen through his robes. His stem expression was laced with respect when he bowed at Shi Nan Feng.
“Yuan Ba, you’re here.” Shi Nan Feng looked at the blue-clad young man and nodded.
“That’s Xing Yuan Ba, the Vice Palace Master of Great Spirit Palace. He’s the strongest among the Human-Devils below the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage!”
The people from the Azure Sheen Hall are here too!”
“That’s Gongsun Jin, the Vice Hall Master of Azure Sheen Hall!”
The people from Crimson Blaze Palace are here as well… That’s Wu Tian Jin, their Vice Palace Master!”
The people of the Wandering Saint Palace quickly discovered that apart from the seven leaders of the Three Palaces and Six Halls, most of the high-ranking officials were here.
The Palace Master of the Crimson Blaze Palace and the Hall Masters of the six halls didn’t come?” A few disciples from the Wandering Saint Palace were surprised.
“Maybe they have things to deal with?”
“How’s it possible that all seven of them have something to attend to at the same time?”
An elder from Wandering Saint Palace chuckled as he said, “Please remember that although it’s great news for the Human-Devil clan to have a second Eminent Celestial, the Eminent Celestial is from our Wandering Saint Palace! The others from the Three Palaces and Six Hall might not see this as joyous news!”
“I think those Palace Master and Hall Masters must be having a meeting on how to deal with our Wandering Saint Palace since our palace will be in control soon!”
Many people mulled over the elder’s words and agreed with him.
After all, the relationships between the Three Palaces and Six Halls were sustained and balanced by competition. Therefore, how could the other two palaces and six halls not be troubled when their Wandering Saint Palace was going to have an Eminent Celestial soon?
The Palace Master of Great Spirit Palace is really broad-minded for personally coming here.” A disciple who had just come out of closed-door cultivation praised Shi Nan Feng.
Many elders and disciples in the surroundings laughed when they heard his words.
One disciple tried holding back his laughter as he asked, “D-do do you really think the Palace Master of Great Spirit Palace is here because Lord Palace Master is about to become an Eminent Celestial?”
“Is that not it?”
“Of course not! The Palace Master of Great Spirit Master has been here since a year ago. His target is actually Vice Palace Master Duan!”
The Young Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion?”
Yes! You must have heard about the enmity between the Great Spirit Palace and the Azure Cloud Mansion so there’s no need for me to explain further.”
“Oh…”
Meanwhile, the high-ranking officials from the Three Palace and Six Halls who had just arrived were looking at Duan Ling Tian.
Suddenly…
Boom!
A deafening explosion rang in the air. The shockwave spread from the sky, its aura was incredibly oppressive, causing many people’s hearts to thump in trepidation.
The Celestial Ascension Tribulation has finally begun!1 Many people thought to themselves.
Everyone quickly shifted their eyes away from Duan Ling Tian to the space above Yuwen Hao Chen.
The Tribulation Clouds looked dense in the sky, it was as though they had covered the sky above Yuwen Hao Chen’s mansion. The area it covered was vast, blocking light from shining down from the sky. It was really dark. Fortunately, the light from afar provided enough light for people to see their surroundings.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Claps of thunder rang in the air deafeningly. Purple lightning bolts flashed in the Tribulation Clouds, and colorful lightning bolts could be seen once in a while. However, only those who had reached a certain level of cultivation were able to see the colorful lightning bolts.
The deafening thunder must be the signal of the start of the Celestial Ascension Tribulation!’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself. He had some knowledge about the Celestial Ascension Tribulation. Suddenly, he seemed to have realized something as he cried out, “Oh, no!” He discovered his Sun Force had become so restless that he found that he could barely suppress it. It continued to roil in his body until he finally decided to stop suppressing it. “I want to see what’s going on anyway… I really wonder what’s causing it to act this way!” He finally gave up on controlling his Sun Force and freed it!
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
The Sun Force seemed to have detached itself from Duan Ling Tian’s Saint Origin and transformed into golden flames that surged out of his body. It seemed as though he was shooting out fire from his body. Strangely, he was not burned at all, even his robes were left untouched.
“Daddy!” Duan Si Ling was the first one to notice the change in Duan Ling Tian. She was so shocked that her eyes widened and she placed a hand over her mouth.
“Brother Tian?” Ke’er also noticed the changes in Duan Ling Tian at this time. She was standing the closest to Duan Ling Tian, but she did not feel the heat from the golden flames that were surging out of his body.
Gan Ru Yan had only taken a look at Duan Ling Tian when the golden flames shot up and away from Duan Ling Tian’s body toward the center of the Tribulation Clouds with a loud boom.
“What’s that?!” Naturally, everyone present on the scene was startled by the golden flames as well.
