Chapter 3766 12 Years Later

"Clan Leader, the Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary Divine Pills were refined from the clan's resources... As long as the clan provides me with the resources, I can refine as many pills as you want," Duan Ling Tian said with a smile. He was not offended by Linghu Ren Jie's casual attitude and thought it was only natural. After all, since his arrival at the Linghu clan, Linghu Ren Jie had taken great care of him. Hence, he felt greatly indebted to Linghu Ren Jie and hoped to return the favor as much as he could before he joined the Flying Dragon Sect.

Linghu Ren Jie was moved by Duan Ling Tian's words. He said, "Don't waste your time on refining pills. You should focus on cultivating. In the end, strength speaks the loudest in the Realms of Gods. Although supreme-rank divine alchemists are highly revered in the Realms of Gods, they can still be killed unless they're constantly protected. In the Realms of Gods, there are fewer than 100 supreme-rank divine alchemists who are also Supreme Gods." There are of Gods in total. One could imagine how rare supreme-rank divine alchemists who were also Supreme Gods were. On average, there would be, perhaps, five divine alchemists with such achievements. After all, it was not easy to find the balance between cultivation and alchemy.

"I understand." Duan Ling Tian nodded. Then, he brought out a few bottles of pills before handing them to Linghu Ren Jie and said, "Clan Leader, I esspecially refined these Divine Pills for you."

"You especially refined them for me?" Linghu Ren Jie asked as he accepted the bottles of pills. His breathing quickened when he took a brief look at the contents of the pills. He discovered the pills were lord-grade Divine Pills that would boost a Lord of Gods' cultivation.

Even if Linghu Ren Jie could not immediately break through and become an intermediate Lord of Gods after consuming the Divine Pills, he would be closer to becoming as strong as the ancestors of the Linghu clan. Although his comprehension of the law was not as profound compared to the ancestors, he had the advantage of being younger. This meant that the Divine Pills were more effective on him compared to the ancestors whose meridians had grown stiffer with age.

For the ancestors of the Linghu clan, it was rather difficult for them to improve their cultivation bases unless they had a fortuitous encounter when they were undergoing their Heavenly Tribulations. Although the Heavenly Tribulations were deadly, they could be a turning point as well. There were many powerhouses will average innate talent and comprehension skills who managed to improve their cultivation bases by using the Heavenly Tribulation to break through.

"Thank you, Duan Ling Tian," Linghu Ren Jie said sincerely as he put away the bottles of pills carefully as though they were precious treasures. He had long wanted lord-grade Divine Pills, but his old friend, Lin Yan, did not have much luck refining them. He did not expect Duan Ling Tian to successfully refine them for him.

"Don't mention it. I found the medicinal herbs in the clan's warehouse so I decided to try refining them," Duan Ling Tian said as he shook his head, "Moreover, you've been a great help to me, Clan Leader. What I've done is only a fraction compared to what you've done for me."

Linghu Ren Sie sighed inwardly as he looked at Duan Ling Tian. 'If my sons have 10% of Duan Ling Tian's capabilities, I won't have to worry about them anymore. There's nothing I'd want for if I have such a capable son. I'm really envious of Duan Ling Tian's father.'

After a brief moment, Linghu Ren Jie smiled and asked, "Duan Ling Tian, I remember you mentioned that you came from a Devata Realm. Is your father in the Devata Realm or is he also in a Realm of Gods?"

"My father?" Duan Ling Tian was slightly stunned by this question. Then, he replied with a smile, "Initially, my father was in the Devata Realm. However, before I came to the Realm of Gods, I sent him, my mother, my wives, and my children to the mundane realm." A bitter smile appeared on his face as he continued to say, "To be honest, I'd offended many people in the Devata Realms, and some of them are even Kings of Gods..."

Wu Hong Qing, the Temple Master of the Title Temple, and the former Clan Leader of the Phantom Clan in the Land of the Dead were Kings of Gods.

"You offended Kings of Gods in the Devata Realms?" Linghu Ren Jie was surprised. "Have you already attained godhood at that time?"

"No." Duan Ling Tian shook his head. "I only attained godhood after arriving in the Profound Energy Land."

Linghu Ren Jie smiled. "When the spatial passages between the Realms of the Gods and Devata Realms reopen after 300 years, you can return to look for your enemies. With your innate talent, I believe you'd already become a Lord of Gods at that time."

Although Linghu Ren Jie thought that it was almost impossible for a rudimentary King of Gods to become a Lord of Gods within 300 years, he said those words to encourage Duan Ling Tian. "My enemies aren't important. Moreover, there's a likelihood that my master has already killed them or will kill them soon," Duan Ling Tian said.

Duan Ling Tian was very confident in his master, Feng Qing Yang. He firmly believed it would not take long for Feng Qing Yang, who had inherited the legacy of a supreme powerhouse, to become strong enough to kill Wu Hong Qing and Mi Xuan.

"Your master?" Linghu Renjie was astonished by this revelation. He asked, "Did you refuse to become Supreme Elder Lei's disciple because of your master?"

"That's right." Duan Ling Tian nodded. "I'm very grateful to my master. Although he doesn't mind me accepting another master, I don't intend to do so unless it's absolutely necessary." A hint of admiration could be seen in Linghu Ren Jie's eyes when he heard these words. After all, it was rare to find someone as loyal and determined as Duan Ling Tian. Duan Ling Tian could have avoided a lot of trouble if he had just become the Hidden Fog Sect's Supreme Elder Lei's disciple. However, Duan Ling Tian stuck to his principles and did not take the easy way out. "Do you regret it?" Linghu Ren Jie asked before he said, "After all, if you become Supreme Elder Lei's disciple, you wouldn't have met with so many troubles."

"I don't regret it." Duan Ling Tian shook his head without hesitation. "Regardless of the consequences, I would still refuse him if I were given a chance to do things over."

The duo continued to chat for a while before Linghu Ren Jie finally bade farewell to Duan Ling Tian.

After a few days, Linghu Ren Jie returned to inform Duan Ling Tian that Duan Ling Tian had been given full access to the Linghu clan's warehouse. He told Duan Ling Tian that Duan Ling Tian was free to use whatever he wanted. The only condition was for Duan Ling Tian to refine god-grade Limit Divine Pills for the Linghu clan from time to time.

Naturally, the Linghu Ren Jie was unaware that Duan Ling Tian could already refine king-grade Limit Divine Pills. He only knew Duan Ling Tian was able to refine lord-grade Divine Pills, which even Lin Yan; the Chief Alchemist of the Linghu clan; had trouble refining. Nonetheless, he kept the matter a secret since he did not know what Duan Ling Tian's success rate was, and he did not want to trouble Duan Ling Tian. If Duan Ling Tian's success rate was low, Duan Ling Tian would have to waste a lot of time refining lord-grade Divine Pills. He, naturally, did not wish for Duan Ling Tian to waste his time.

While Duan Ling Tian was living comfortably in the Linghu clan's estate, things had been difficult for the Hidden Fog Sect.

Ssu

After news of Supreme Elder Lei destroying Linghu City spread, the Flying Dragon Sect had ordered the Hidden Fog Sect to rebuild Linghu City. This was due to the Linghu faction putting pressure on the Flying Dragon Sect. Under normal circumstances, the Hidden Fog faction in the Flying Dragon Sect would have said something in defense of the Hidden Fog Sect. However, this time, it was irrefutable that the Hidden Fog Sect was at fault.

Although the Hidden Fog Sect suffered a great loss, the members did not feel regretful about Supreme Elder Feng's death. On the contrary, they were angry that he caused the sect to suffer a huge loss due to his selfishness. Not only did the Hidden Fog Sect have to rebuild Linghu City, but its members were also attacked by various people. Many members of the sect were attacked after they left the sect so they had to hide their identity tokens whenever they went out.

Before news of Linghu City's destruction spread, Hou Qing Ning had returned to the Hidden Fog Academy in Skywind City. He withdrew from the academy and returned to the Ten Thousand Leaves Sect after that. With Linghu Ren Jie's help, coupled with his innate talent and comprehension skills, he managed to join the Murong clan. With the god-grade Limit Divine Pills given to him by Duan Ling Tian, his strength was above average compared to the younger generation in the Murong clan.

12 years passed in just a blink of an eye. Currently, Duan Ling Tian was on the brink of a breakthrough and becoming an intermediate King of Gods. This was all thanks to his hard work and king-grade Limit Divine Pills he refined. Although he had yet to break through, his strength had increased significantly. With the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity and the Floating Images of duels between experts of the law of space, his comprehension of the law of space had deepened as well.

At this time, Duan Ling Tian flew into the sky and looked at Linghu City.

"The Hidden Fog Sect is quite efficient..."

The last time he had taken a look at the city was eight years ago when the Hidden Fog Sect finished rebuilding the city. It became even more prosperous after that.

Due to the incident 12 years ago, Linghu City became famous in the Eastern Ridge Mansion. Hence many people came to visit Linghu City that was previously destroyed because Supreme Elder Feng had detonated his Little World.

Duan Ling Tian thought about all the places that became famous on Earth due to the hype on social media. The incident 12 years ago had created hype around Linghu City and made it famous.
