4651 The Divine Land and a Myriad of Daos

"A supreme Dao powerhouse?"

This was the first time Duan Ling Tian had heard of this term. Obviously, it was a term for those who had mastered the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth in this world.

The shopkeeper became much more respectful after this discovery. He gave Duan Ling Tian a favorable exchange rate before asking if there was anything else he could help Duan Ling Tian with. Based on how reverent he was, it was clear that supreme Dao powerhouses held a high status in this place.

Since the shop was not too busy, Duan Ling Tian decided to ask the shopkeeper a few questions. "I actually have a few questions…"

After that, Duan Ling Tian learned that this place was called the Divine Land. Currently, he was in a relatively remote city called Peace City in Distinct Province. The city was home to two prominent clans and one gang, and one of the clans owned the Precious Treasure Pavilion.

Apart from that, Duan Ling Tian learned that the strongest cultivators in the three forces were only supreme powerhouses, not supreme Dao powerhouses. This was the reason the shopkeeper was shocked to find out that he was a Dao cultivator.

…

Duan Ling Tian found an inn to stay in. After settling down, he and his family sat down and chatted.

"I didn't expect that there are more than Four Daos of Heaven Earth in the Divine Land. There's no Weapon Dao here. Each type of Weapon Dao is considered an independent Dao…" Ke'er said with a sigh. After gaining some understanding of this world, she was not as worried about Duan Si Ling and Duan Nian Tian's safety. After all, their strength could be considered formidable here.

"That's right. We only have Four Daos, but here, there are many kinds of Daos. Just the Weapon Dao alone has hundreds of Daos…"

Since the laws did not exist here, the people here naturally did not know anything about the laws or their powers.

Earlier, Duan Ling Tian also asked the shopkeeper if he had heard of Yu Luo He, but the shopkeeper had never heard of that name before. The shopkeeper also knew nothing about the forbidden sacrificial technique that was mentioned. However, the shopkeeper explained that he was not knowledgeable about such matters because he was at the bottom of the hierarchy. If it were not for his business talent that was recognized by the clan, he would only be serving tea, doing chores, and running errands for the clan.

"I plan to visit the three major forces in Peace City tomorrow. I'm sure the people there will be able to provide us with more information," Duan Ling Tian said, sharing his plan with his family. He planned to visit the forces alone, and he asked his wives to look after his parents.

The four women did not have any objections. Initially, they had felt uneasy in this unfamiliar world and felt as though they were in constant danger. However, as time passed, they felt more at ease.

Unexpectedly, someone came looking for Duan Ling Tian before he could visit the three forces in Peace City. The other party claimed to be the Clan Leader of the Yan clan in Peace City.

"I'll go out and meet him…"

Since his wives were in the courtyard, Duan Ling Tian decided to meet the visitor outside. As soon as he saw the other party, realization dawned on him. After all, the shopkeeper of the Precious Treasure Pavilion was standing behind the other party.

Although the shopkeeper was low on the hierarchy, his cultivation was not too weak. This was thanks to the abundant Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in this place. The concentrations of Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy here was comparable to that in places with the most abundant Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in the Myriad World and the Outer Boundary.

"Sir, it's a pleasure to see you again," the shopkeeper said respectfully.

The middle-aged man standing in front of the shopkeeper looked at Duan Ling Tian with bright eyes as he said respectfully, "Greetings. I'm Yan Hu, the Clan Leader of the Yan clan in Peace City. I came to give you a gift, sir."

Yan Hu handed an item to Duan Ling Tian as he spoke.

Duan Ling Tian accepted it. It was a sword-shaped jade pendant that contained a trace of the Sword Dao. Ordinary people would not be able to detect it, but he could easily sense it with his Divine Consciousness. However, the Sword Dao in the jade pendant was only at the first stage. For those who had yet to comprehend the Sword Dao, the jade pendant would be useful. Even then, it could only give a basic comprehension of the Sword Dao.

"I have no use for this," Duan Ling Tian said casually, returning the jade pendant to Yan Hu. Not only was the jade pendant useless to him, but it was also useless to his family. After all, his family could learn more about the Sword Dao from him compared to the jade pendant.

Yan Hu was stunned by Duan Ling Tian's words. Then, his eyes widened as he asked tremblingly, "S-sir, does this mean you've mastered the second stage of the Sword Dao?"

He knew that only Dao cultivators who mastered the second stage of the Sword at the very least would not have any use for the jade pendant.

"You can think so," Duan Ling Tian replied vaguely with a faint smile on his face.

Yan Hu's hands trembled as he took the jade pendant back. He took a deep breath before he asked, "Sir, can I ask you to help the Yan clan? The clan will compensate you generously for your help."

With that, Yan Hu returned the divine crystals Duan Ling Tian had used to exchange for divine rocks earlier, and he continued to say, "These are the divine rocks from earlier. Think of them as a gift from me."

Duan Ling Tian did not reach out for the divine crystals. Instead, he asked with a faint smile, "What do you want me to help you with?"

Duan Ling Tian did not mind helping the other party if it was just a small matter. After all, as the Clan Leader of the Yan clan, he believed the other party would be able to provide him with valuable information. However, if the matter was too complicated, he would refuse the other party.

Duan Ling Tian gained an understanding of the situation after listening to Yan Hu's explanation. As it turned out, the sword-shaped jade pendant in Yan Hu's possession had drawn the attention of the other two forces in Peace City. The two forces coveted it, and it seemed like they were ready to join forces to deal with the Yan clan. Initially, Yan Hu planned to give the jade pendant to Duan Ling Tian and make the two forces abandon their covetous ideas. Naturally, he claimed that he had given it away, the two forces would not easily believe him. As such, he hoped that Duan Ling Tian would step forward and say the jade pendant was in his possession even if Duan Ling Tian did not plan to accept it, hoping that Duan Ling Tian would scare the two forces away.

"So that's what you need help with…" Duan Ling Tian said with a smile, "In that case, you can spread the word that the jade pendant is now in my possession. Tell them to look for me if they insist on a confrontation. I'll be waiting for them."

To Duan Ling Tian, this was just a trivial matter that was not worth mentioning at all. He accepted the divine crystals that Yan Hu brought out earlier, planning to return them to his wife, Li Fei.
