War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens - Chapter 2819
Chapter 2819: The Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect in the General Region!
However, an assuring thought appeared in Duan Ling Tian’s mind. He recalled when he had first met Situ Ming, Yang Chong, and Yu Zhong Jing, Yu Zhong Jing had said that even the most skilled prominent Celestial Alchemist took five hours to heat up a cauldron.
‘It’s no wonder that the sect leader had asked if it takes me less than six hours to heat up a cauldron. Master Yu must have told him about the heating speed of a skilled prominent Celestial Alchemist as well. Moreover, I’m sure he understands alchemy to a certain extent. That’s probably why he was so eager to find out the time I need to heat up a cauldron,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself.
When Duan Ling Tian returned to his senses, he saw Tie Tai He’s expectant gaze. He asked, amused, “What? Elder Tie, do you want to see it as well?”
“Would it be inconvenient for you if I stay and watch?” Tie Tai He felt embarrassed that Duan Ling Tian had seen through him.
“Don’t worry… It’ll only take half an hour.” Duan Ling Tian smiled faintly. Then, he raised his hand and took out his prominent Pill Cauldron. He unhurriedly moved the cauldron in front of Tie Tai He before he heated the cauldron.
“Master Duan, what are you doing?” Tie Tai He was baffled when Duan Ling Tian moved the cauldron to him.
“Elder Tie, you can check to see that the cauldron has not been heated in advance,” Duan Ling Tian said. He wanted Tie Tai He to confirm that he was not cheating.
“Master Duan, there’s no need for that.” Tie Tai He shook his head. “You didn’t even know that I was going to stay and watch. How’s it possible for you to heat the cauldron beforehand?”
Duan Ling Tian glanced at Tie Tai He before he said, “Are you trying to say that I cheated and heated the cauldron in advance before I refined pills in front of Master Situ and the others?”
“That’s not what I mean… I… I…” Faced with Duan Ling Tian’s gaze, Tie Tai He was at a loss for words.
“In any case, Elder Tie, you should still confirm it. That way, you’ll feel more at ease,” Duan Ling Tian said.
Upon hearing this, Tie Tai He no longer hesitated. He touched the prominent Pill Cauldron in front of him, checking the temperature. At the same time, he probed it with his Divine Consciousness as well. It took just a second for him to confirm that the cauldron was cold to the touch and was not heated in advance. He sent the cauldron back to Duan Ling Tian and said, “I’m done.”
After that, Tie Tai He looked at Duan Ling Tian with a hint of embarrassment in his eyes. He hastily explained himself in fear of angering Duan Ling Tian. “Master Duan, it’s not my intention to doubt you… I was just in shock and dumbfounded…”
“I understand,” Duan Ling Tian said. He no longer wasted words with Tie Tai He and summoned his Chaos Divine Flame to heat the cauldron.
After half an hour, Duan Ling Tian finally stopped heating the cauldron and began to refine the pills. Needless to say, the pills were successfully refined.
Upon seeing this, Tie Tai He finally confirmed that Duan Ling Tian truly only needed half an hour to heat up the cauldron. He took the initiative to apologize to Duan Ling Tian. “Master Duan, I’m sorry… I didn’t mean to doubt you.”
Duan Ling Tian, who had just put the cauldron away, looked at Tie Tai He intently with a slight smile on his face as he said, “Elder Tie, based on your character, you wouldn’t easily doubt me for no reason… Can you tell me the reason you wanted to personally watch me heat up the cauldron?” He seemed to be able to read Tie Tai He’s mind.
“Master Duan, I…” Tie Tai He’s expression stiffened. Soon after, it was replaced by an embarrassed expression. It was as though he was hiding something.
Duan Ling Tian took the initiative to say, “Actually, even if you don’t tell me, I know that the Old Ancestor asked you to test me…” He was blunt with his words.
“Y-You knew all along?” Tie Tai He was taken aback. He was curious how Duan Ling Tian found out about it.
“It seems like my guess is correct.” When Duan Ling Tian saw the shocked expression on Tie Tai He’s face, Duan Ling Tian smiled victoriously.
“You… You were calling my bluff?!” Tie Tai He finally realized Duan Ling Tian had baited him into revealing the truth. A helpless and wry smile appeared on his face. He knew that he had exposed the person who had given him this order. He hurriedly said, “Master Duan, please don’t tell the Old Ancestor about this when you meet him in the future… Otherwise, he’ll surely reprimand me.”
Saying that, Tie Tai He did not forget to defend the action of the Old Ancestor of Tai Yi Celestial Sect as well. “Please try and understand the Old Ancestor, Master Duan… Although the sect leader vouched for you, this is a matter that concerns the King Grade Celestial Weapon after all. The Old Ancestor has no choice but to be extra careful about this matter.”
“I understand.” Duan Ling Tian nodded. He could understand the Old Ancestor. After all, if he was in the Old Ancestor’s shoes, he would have done the same as well. “I didn’t take this matter to heart… Elder Tie, let’s continue on our journey. ”
“Alright.” Tie Tai He heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words. Then, he continued on the journey to the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect’s estate.
During the journey, a thought appeared in Duan Ling Tian’s mind. He looked at Tie Tai He and asked, “Elder Tie, will the Celestial Alchemists from the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect attend the upcoming Alchemy Conference? Speaking of, I don’t even know which region the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect is from… I wonder if their region would participate in the Alchemy Conference?”
As far as Duan Ling Tian knew, the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect was located not too far away from the Wasteland. Otherwise, how could Zhou Shu Qiu from the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect become good friends with Murong Bing, a disciple of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect?
“The Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect is located in the General Region. The General Region has always participated in the Alchemy Conference. Apart from that, the Barren Land, the Light Region, and the Shadow region would be participating in the conference as well,” Tie Tai He replied, “If all goes well, there’s no reason why the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect wouldn’t attend the Alchemy Conference.” After he finished speaking, he glanced at Duan Ling Tian before he curiously asked, “Master Duan, why did you suddenly ask about the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect? Do you have anything to do with that sect?”
“Well, you can say that.” Duan Ling Tian nodded absentmindedly. A beautiful figure appeared unbidden in his mind as he thought to himself, ‘I wonder if she’ll be attending as well…’ The beautiful figure belonged the Murong Bing, a disciple of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect, whom he had sex with in a Little World left by a Celestial King shortly after he ascended to the Spirit Overarching Heaven, a Devata Realm!
…
Tie Tai He was a Seven Star Celestial Duke. With his help, it did not take long before they arrived in the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom. Due to their speed, they did not encounter any obstacles during their journey. Even if they met with difficulties, with Tie Tai He’s strength, it could no longer be considered as a difficulty.
…
In the residence of the thirteenth prince in the Imperial Palace of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom.
“Br… Master Duan.” Long Fei Yun, the Thirteenth Prince of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom, could not contain his excitement when he saw Duan Ling Tian again. However, due to Duan Ling Tian’s current status, it was no longer appropriate for him to act as casually as he did when he interacted with Duan Ling Tian in the past.
Duan Ling Tian could, naturally, sensed the change in Long Fei Yun’s behavior. He sighed inwardly but did not say anything. He knew that regardless of what he said, Long Fei Yun would only see him as the Chief Celestial Alchemist of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, someone who could easily destroy the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom with just a word.
Long Fei Yun treated Duan Ling Tian with restraint just like how he had treated Pei Yuan Ji, the mysterious Brother Pei.
Duan Ling Tian did not beat around the bush. “Thirteenth prince, have you seen Brother Pei recently?” This was the main reason he had returned to the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom.
“No.” Long Fei Yun shook his head. He asked, “Master Duan, did you come back to see Brother Pei? In fact, ever since that time we went to see Brother Pei together, I haven’t seen him again. The servants whom I sent to clean his residence didn’t see him as well. My guess is he’s being held up by some matters…”
Although Duan Ling Tian had expected this, he still could not help but sigh. After a moment, he looked at Long Fei Yun and said with narrowed eyes, “Thirteenth prince, I heard that you’re now the Crown Prince of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom? If you wish, I can help you become the Emperor of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom…”
Although the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom was not one of the high-rank Celestial Kingdoms under the Tai Yi Celestial Sect’s jurisdiction, Duan Ling Tian could still easily put Long Fei Yun on the throne of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom. The Martial Dragon Celestial Sect would definitely consider his status as the Chief Celestial Alchemist of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect.
“There’s no need for that.” Long Fei Yun shook his head. “Father told me that he’ll pass the throne to me after ten years. The timing is just right. I don’t want to ascend the throne too soon.”
Long Fei Yun smiled as he continued to say, “Thank you, Master Duan… If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be able to become the Crown Prince of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom.” He knew very well that his fate had been changed by the person before him. If it were not for this person, he would still be lamenting his tragic fate in an unknown corner of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom.
