Chapter 3742 - Duan Ling Tian’s Choice

Although the Auspicious Pills were heaven-defying, they were only useful for gods. On the other hand, among divine pills that were beneficial toward Kings of Gods, the Lord Breakthrough Divine Pill was one of the best.

Although the Lord Breakthrough Divine Pill would not raise one's cultivation base, it could remove the bottleneck that advanced Kings of Gods might encounter when trying to break through to become rudimentary Lords of Gods. Regardless of one's cultivation method, the pill would allow one to easily break through to the next stage.

Based on Duan Ling Tian's knowledge, the Lord Breakthrough Divine Pill was incredibly difficult to refine. Those from emperor-rank forces usually would only be able to refine one pill in 100 years. How could he not feel shocked that the Flying Dragon Sect was giving 10 Lord Breakthrough Divine Pills away during the Latent Dragon Grand Contest? Duan Ling Tian asked with an amazed expression on his face, "The alchemist in the Flying Dragon Sect is able to refine 10 Lord Breakthrough Divine Pills?"

Linghu Ren Jie replied with a smile on his face, "The former Sect Leader of the Flying Dragon Sect has been obsessed with alchemy since he was young. After he retired and became a supreme elder, he had more time to study alchemy since his workload was greatly reduced. 1,000 years ago, he had a major breakthrough. Not only did he increase his success rate in refining lord-grade divine pills, but he even successfully refined the Lord Breakthrough Divine Pills. Since then, he became famous in the entire Eastern Ridge Mansion. Some of the top emperor-rank forces had tried to recruit him to their sides as well. After all, most alchemists in the Eastern Ridge Mansion could only refine one with great difficulty. However, he could easily refine them."

Duan Ling Tian nodded. Since the former Sect Leader of the Flying Dragon had attachments to the sect, he naturally would not be tempted to join the other emperor-rank forces that tried to recruit him. Without his attachments, how could stay in the Flying Dragon Sect? Although the Flying Dragon Sect was an emperor-rank sect, it no longer had any Emperor of Gods in the present. In fact, many emperor-rank sects were like the Flying Dragon Sect in the Eastern Ridge Mansion. Normally, highly talented alchemists would not join emperor-rank forces without Emperors of Gods. After all, many emperor-rank forces with Emperors of Gods were willing to accept them.

In the past, when Duan Ling Tian had just arrived in the Realm Battlefield after traveling through the spatial tear in the Nine Serenities Battlefield, he had met an old man called Ye Bei Yuan who had been kind enough to escort him to the nearest base. At that time, the old man had said he was from the Glorious Heaven Sect, an emperor-rank sect in the Eastern Ridge Mansion that was like the Flying Dragon Sect.

'If I'm a talented alchemist, it'd be easy for me to join any of the top emperor-rank forces in the Eastern Mansion Ridge. No matter which one I choose to join, my cultivation environment and resources will definitely be good,' Duan Ling Tian lamented inwardly.

When Duan Ling Tian was in the mundane realm, he was rather skilled at refining pills. After he ascended to the Devata Realms, he still practiced refining pills in the beginning. However, as time passed, he spent more time on his cultivation and dealing with the problems he encountered. In the end, he ended up neglecting his pill refining skills. Currently, he had no idea how to refine pills at all in the Realms of Gods since the methods were different. He wondered if it was time to brush up on his skills again. Perhaps, this skill would help him to join a stronger force.

At this time, Linghu Ren Jie said, "Duan Ling Tian, after you consider it, let me know your thoughts." He smiled before he continued to say, "In any case, I believe that with your innate talent and comprehension skills, you'll be able to become a Lord of Gods even without the Lord Breakthrough Divine Pill. Moreover, there are still ways for you to obtain the pills even if you join the sect now even if the process would be quite troublesome."

Duan Ling Tian said decisively, "Clan leader, I'll wait and join the Flying Dragon Sect later so I can participate in the Latent Dragon Grand Contest."

"Are you sure?" Linghu Ren Jie asked again even though he was relieved by this answer. Naturally, he thought it was best for Duan Ling Tian to wait. He was confident that with Duan Ling Tian's talent, Duan Ling Tian would be able to rank in the top ten now, let alone over 20 years later. After all, Duan Ling Tian was able to kill two of the core disciples in the Hidden Fog Sect who were among the top five core disciples with just a strike each. Although he had heard that Duan Ling Tian had relied on his divine artifact to kill the two core disciples from the Hidden Fog Sect, he was certain Duan Ling Tian was still hiding his strength. If Duan Ling Tian revealed the full extent of his comprehension of the Sword Dao, his powers would increase even more.

"Yes." Duan Ling Tian nodded. At the same time, he took out the prominent divine sword he used to kill Shangguan Xiong Feng and Long Xiao from his Spatial Ring and handed it to Linghu Ren Jie as he said, "Thank you, clan leader. I wouldn't have been able to kill them with a strike if it weren't for this prominent divine artifact that you lent me."

After taking the prominent divine artifact, Linghu Ren Jie shook his head and said, "I lent the prominent divine artifact so you don't have to reveal the depth of the comprehension of your Sword Dao. You could've killed them easily with your Sword Dao." Linghu Ren Jie would have told Duan Ling Tian to keep the sword if it was just an ordinary divine artifact. Unfortunately, the Linghu clan only had a few prominent divine artifacts so he could not simply give it to Duan Ling Tian. Little did he know, Duan Ling Tian was not short of prominent divine artifacts. In fact, Duan Ling Tian even possessed a prominent divine artifact with a complete artifact soul.

"Duan Ling Tian, I'm confident you'll rank in the top ten at least during the Latent Dragon Grand Contest. You might be rewarded with a prominent divine artifact if you're ranked in the top three. It's easy for you to rank in the top 10, but it'll be more difficult to rank in the top three even if you use your Sword Dao. You're not allowed to use divine artifacts and external methods during the Latent Dragon Grand Contest. Even if you can, there'll be participants who possess prominent divine artifacts as well so you won't have the advantage. For this reason, you should focus on cultivating and breaking through during this time," Linghu Ren Jie said with a smile.

"Don't worry, clan leader. I'm aware of this," Duan Ling Tian said. He had never been complacent when it came to his cultivation. He had come so far from the time he was in the mundane realms relying on his strength, after

all.

Linghu Ren Jie nodded. "Alright then. Linghu clan will do our best to help you achieve a breakthrough and become an intermediate King of Gods. I'll try and help you with your law of space as well."

After Duan Ling Tian expressed his gratitude, Linghu Ren Jie took his leave.

At this time, an old servant greeted Duan Ling Tian, "Young Master. My name's Wang Fu. The clan leader has tasked me with serving you over the next 20 plus years."

"Senior Fu, so sorry to trouble you," Duan Ling Tian said with a smile before he nodded at the maids in the surroundings. Then, he asked Wang Fu to lead him to his room.

Duan Ling Tian's bedroom was so spacious that it made up for half the size of the building. There was a huge bed and he saw a table filled with pearls. His eyes were instantly drawn to the pearls.

Upon seeing this, Wang Fu explained, "Young Master, these are Floating Images Pearls that the clan leader prepared for you. They contain recordings of duels between Kings of Gods or stronger who had comprehended the law of

space."

Duan Ling Tian felt touched by Linghu Ren Jie's efforts and thoughtfulness. Then, he sent a message to Linghu Ren Jie to express his gratitude again. "The Floating Image Pearls have been a part of our Linghu clan's collection for generations. I hope they'll be useful to you even if they're not as useful as divine fruits that can directly help you with the law of space or stone tablets left behind by experts who comprehended the law of space," Linghu Ren Jie replied, "We have to chambers of law of space, but they won't be useful to you. Considering your comprehension, I'm afraid most chambers of law of space in the Eastern Ridge Mansion won't be useful to you. I'll begin to search for divine fruit and stone tablets that will help you with quadruple Fused Profundities…"
