War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens - Chapter 3413
Chapter 3413: The Purple Spike Celestial Emperor
In Duan Ling Tian’s eyes, Yun Qing Yan was the cause of the deaths of his senior brother, Baili Hong, and the others. After all, they would have led peaceful and good lives in the Saint Province Realm if Yun Qing Yan did not kidnap them and bring them to the Divine Offering Land.
‘There are less than 700 years to go before the passages from the Devata Realms to the Realms of Gods open. At that time, I must go to the Divine Offering Land to avenge them!’ Duan Ling Tian was furious when he thought about the deaths of his loved ones. He was so affected by this thought that he remained silent throughout their journey to the Heavenly Palace of the Floating Heaven.
Li Fei understood Duan Ling Tian’s thoughts so she only silently held his hand and stayed by his side to provide him with support.
Meanwhile, the beautiful woman trailing at the back of the couple along with Elder Huo looked at the peerless couple that seemed like a match made in heaven. Although she was unfamiliar with the purple-clad young man, based on his bearing and behavior, she could tell he was outstanding. Moreover, it was rare for someone as young as him to be so mature. Based on what she knew, Li Fei and Duan Ling Tian were only slightly over 300 years old. She thought to herself, ‘Perhaps, only this handsome and talented young man is worthy of the Young Miss…’
Soon after, they arrived in front of a floating island above the vast ocean that was shrouded in thick clouds.
“Scoundrel, we’ve arrived at the Heavenly Palace of the Floating Heaven,” Li Fei said. Although she had many questions for Duan Ling Tian, she had remained silent throughout their journey here since she could sense Duan Ling Tian’s inner turmoil.
Duan Ling Tian looked at the floating island and the clouds swirling around and beneath it. He thought it was rather similar to the Heavenly Palace of the Purple Revelation Heaven. Unlike the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven that was hidden with other means, the Heavenly Palaces of the Purple Revelation Heaven and the Floating Heaven were hidden by the clouds.
“Let’s meet my master.” Although Li Fei had prepared herself, she was still nervous about bringing Duan Ling Tian to meet her master. It was just like on earth where women were nervous about bringing their boyfriends home to meet their parents.
The Purple Spike Celestial Emperor had treated Li Fei as her daughter over the years. Moreover, compared to other elders and even Duan Ling Tian, she had spent the longest time with the Purple Spike Celestial Emperor.
Li Fei was raised by her grandmother since she was a toddler when she was in the Saint Province Realm. As far as her memories stretched, she did not have many, if any, memories of her parents at all. Perhaps, that was why she treated the Purple Spike Celestial Emperor, who had taken great care of her, as her mother as well. How could she not feel nervous now that her husband was about to meet her master whom she treated as her mother?
“My master’s courtyard is up ahead.” While Li Fei led Duan Ling Tian into the Heavenly Palace of the Floating Heaven, many disciples she encountered along the way would greet her.
The Heavenly Emperor of the Floating Heaven had three true disciples, and Li Fei’s master, the Purple Spike Celestial Emperor, was the youngest disciple.
The Purple Spike Celestial Emperor stayed in a valley filled with lush greeneries. The sound of birds chirping permeated the air.
Before Duan Ling Tian and Li Fei stepped foot into the valley, a flock of birds at the entrance began to gather and fly around them.
“Miss Fei’er!”
The flock of birds that were capable of speech greeted Li Fei happily.
A red sparrow looked at Duan Ling Tian and asked excitedly, “Miss Fei’er, is he the man you spoke about all the time? We didn’t believe you previously, but it seems like you weren’t lying; you’re really married.”
“Why would I lie to all of you?” Li Fei shook her head gently before she introduced the flock of birds to Duan Ling Tian, “Scoundrel, these are my senior sisters; they’re my master’s nominal disciples.”
With this, the flock of birds suddenly transformed into a group of teenage girls and young women. They gather around Duan Ling Tian and Li Fei as they giggled.
One of them said, “So you’re Miss Fei’er’s husband? You’re quite handsome. It’s impossible to find a man as handsome as you in our Heavenly Palace.”
The group of female disciples looked at Duan Ling Tian as though he was a rare animal.
Although Duan Ling Tian was slightly discomfited by the gazes, he maintained a friendly smile on his face. “Thank you for taking care of Little Fei’er all these years…”
At this moment, the beautiful woman trailing behind Duan Ling Tian and Li Fei said, “Enough. Make way for the Young Miss. She’s going to bring him to meet our lord.”
With these, the group of girls reverted to a flock of birds and flew away.
As soon as they stepped into the valley, the fragrance of fresh flowers and wine wafted into their noses.
As Duan Ling Tian inhaled deeply, Li Fei explained, “My master has a hobby of brewing wine. This fragrance is from the flower wine she brewed. The flowers in Devata Realms usually contain spirit energy so my master planted many Celestial Flowers and Celestial Herbs here that have the potential of gaining human forms. Before me, my master has a disciple who’s a Celestial Herb. Senior Sister is already a titled Celestial Emperor, and she’s normally not in the Heavenly Palace…”
Duan Ling Tian nodded. At this moment, he discovered the beautiful women had stopped following them; Elder Huo was the only one left trailing behind them.
Elder Huo naturally followed closely behind Duan Ling Tian. After all, in his eyes, it was his duty to protect Duan Ling Tian and ensure Duan Ling Tian’s safety. He would do anything to keep Duan Ling Tian safe; it was not just because he had a good relationship with Duan Ling Tian from before. It was also partly due to Feng Qing Yang whom he felt greatly indebted to. Without Feng Qing Yang, he would not have such achievements today.
Meanwhile, they walked deeper into the valley. After a while, Duan Ling Tian saw Li Fei’s master, the Purple Spike Celestial Emperor, in a courtyard brimming with flowers, plants, and herbs. She looked like a young woman in her 20s. She was tall, and her body was curvaceous. At this moment, she was tending to her garden.
“Master.” Li Fei bowed and greeted her master as soon as they arrived.
The Purple Spike Celestial Emperor straightened her back to look at Li Fei. When her gaze landed on Duan Ling Tian, they flashed briefly with a cold light. “Fei’er, is he your husband?”
After Li Fei and Duan Ling Tian were reunited, the beautiful woman had sent a message to inform the Purple Spike Celestial Emperor of this matter.
“Yes, master,” Li Fei responded respectfully, “This is my husband, Duan Ling Tian.”
As Li Fei spoke, Duan Ling Tian bowed at the Purple Spike Celestial Emperor. “Duan Ling Tian greets the Purple Spike Celestial Emperor. Thank you for taking care of Little Fei’er all these years. Words can’t describe how grateful I feel. I’ll certainly repay your kindness in the future.”
The Purple Spike Celestial Emperor replied faintly, “Since you’re Fei’er’s husband, you should stay in the Heavenly Palace of the Floating Heaven. It wasn’t easy for both of you to be reunited. If both of you were to separate again, Fei’er won’t be able to concentrate on her cultivation. I hope you won’t affect her cultivation in the future. With her potential, she would at least be on par with me in the future…”
Duan Ling Tian was moved by the Purple Spike Celestial Emperor’s direct words. It could be seen that she regarded Li Fei highly. He had no doubt that she treated Li Fei very well. Nevertheless, he had plans of his own that contradicted the Purple Spike Celestial Emperor’s plan.
Duan Ling Tian looked at the Purple Spike Celestial Emperor and said determinedly and confidently, “Purple Spike Celestial Emperor, I’m here not only to thank you for taking care of Little Fei’er all this time, but we’re here to bid farewell to you as well… Since we’ve reunited, it’s natural that we won’t be separated again. I plan to bring Little Fei’er with me and leave the Floating Heaven.”
“You plan to bring Fei’er away from here?” As soon as Duan Ling Tian finished speaking, the Purple Spike Celestial Emperor’s expression turned icy immediately. At the same time, a bone-chilling energy suddenly descended on the valley, causing a layer of frost to form. Based on this, it was clear she had comprehended the law of ice.
“Master!” Li Fei’s expression changed instantly. Although she knew her master had high hopes for her and felt that she would be throwing her future away if she left with Duan Ling Tian, she did not expect her master would be so furious. She could not help but feel helpless.
