Previously, Duan Ling Tian had learned from the mysterious Brother Pei that there were one Eight Trigrams Celestial Duke in each of the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland. However, everyone in the Wasteland thought Seven Star Celestial Dukes were the strongest existence in the Wasteland. For this reason, he knew the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland had kept the presence of their Eight Trigrams Celestial Dukes a secret. With Situ Ming mentioning the Tai Yi Celestial Sect’s Patriarch, he confirmed Brother Pei’s words. Moreover, Situ Ming’s eyes were different when he spoke about the patriarch, it was completely different from when he spoke about the sect leaders of the supreme elders. Therefore, Duan Ling Tian knew the Patriarch of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect was an Eight Trigrams Celestial Duke!

“That’s right… Master Duan, if you need any help in the future, you can speak up. I will try my best to help you if I can!” Yang Chong chimed in.

Then, Yu Zhong Jing also nodded and said, “Me too.”

The three prominent Celestial Alchemists of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect could see that Duan Ling Tian would reach great heights in the future, therefore, they knew it was important to maintain a good relations.h.i.+p with Duan Ling Tian. They knew this was the best opportunity for them to help Duan Ling Tian. In the future, Duan Ling Tian might not even need their help at all. Moreover, there would be many people clamoring to help him.

“Thank you.” Duan Ling Tian was slightly flattered by the three people’s enthusiasm. Unlike the other three, he did not think that far into the future. He was polite to the three men since it was better to befriend them to make an enemy out of them for no good reason. Moreover, he did have many questions regarding alchemy that he wanted to ask the prominent Celestial Alchemists. Now that they were in the same sect, it would be easy for him to ask them questions.

‘Since I’ve gotten the approval from the sect leader, the left guardian, and the three prominent Celestial Alchemists of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, I’ll have a firm foothold in the sect,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself.

News of a Chief Celestial Alchemist in the Tai Yi Celestial Sect continued to spread like a wildfire. Even people in the distant land in the Wasteland heard about it.

“Duan Ling Tian is the Chief Celestial Alchemist in the Tai Yi Celestial Sect?”

“Heavens! That young man, Duan Ling Tian, actually became the Chief Celestial Alchemist of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect?”

“I thought Tie Tai He, the Left Guardian of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, was just making an empty promise in order to entice Duan Ling Tian to join the Tai Yi Celestial Sect… I didn’t think he was serious!”

“Rumor has it that Duan Ling Tian is younger than 100 years old. How can they appoint someone so young as the Chief Celestial Alchemist of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect? Did the high-ranking officials of the sect consider the feelings of the three prominent Celestial Alchemists of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect?”

“The three prominent Celestial Alchemists of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect are all highly-skilled prominent Celestial Alchemists… However, a young man is now their chief. I bet they’ll leave the sect in a fit of anger.”

“If that’s the case, the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect and the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect will be able to benefit greatly from this… They might be able to recruit the three prominent Celestial Alchemists into their sects.”

Similar discussions could be heard all over Tai Yi City.

Everyone felt that the high-ranking officials of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect had unwisely disregarded the three prominent Celestial Alchemists in favor of a young and untried prominent Celestial Alchemist.

“He… he really became the Chief Celestial Alchemist of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect?”

“Are the high-ranking officials of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect crazy? They’re really disregarding the three senior prominent Celestial Alchemists for a prominent Celestial Alchemist who’s not even 100 years old? How foolis.h.!.+ They’re penny wise but pound foolis.h.!.+ ”

“I really can’t figure out what the high-ranking officials of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect are thinking… Is it worth it?”

In the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom’s residence in Tai Yi City.

The people were in disbelief when they heard the news. At the same time, they were relieved. They felt increasingly convinced that the emperor made the right choice by appointing Long Fei Yun, the Thirteenth of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom, as the Crown Prince.

Long Fei Yun, naturally, heard about the news as well. “Brother Duan really became the Chief Celestial Alchemist of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect?” Although he had been mentally prepared for this, he was still a little stunned when he heard this.

“What a surprise. He has become the Chief Celestial Alchemist of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect in just a blink of an eye.” Qiu Ling stood behind Long Fei Yun, sighing emotionally.

“Brother Duan is my benefactor… Since I met him, my path to the throne has been smooth. I’ve become the Crown Prince because of him. This is something I didn’t even dare to imagine before!” Long Fei Yun said with a sigh. His eyes were br.i.m.m.i.n.g grat.i.tude when he spoke. He was extremely grateful to Duan Ling Tian.

Although the residence arranged by Tai Yi Celestial Sect for the Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom was not as good as the one arranged for the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom, many people felt emotional about the news as well there.

One of them was, naturally, Qin Yu.

“I didn’t expect Duan Ling Tian to become the Chief Celestial Alchemist of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect… I’m really happy for him. However, the gap between me and him is getting wider and wider.” Qin Yu was happy for Duan Ling Tian, but at the same time, he lamented the fact that the gap between him and Duan Ling Tian was getting bigger and bigger. Therefore, he became even more motivated. ‘It’s impossible to catch up to Duan Ling Tian… I just hope that I can get closer to him in the future.” He was well aware of it.

Meanwhile, King Qin, the former ruler of King Qin’s Mansion and the current Emperor of the Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom, sighed when he heard the news. “What a surprise that the purple-clad young man who escaped from the Celestial Duke of the Compa.s.sionate Celestial Traveler Sect has such a lofty status now.”

At that time, the purple-clad young man had to rely on a Celestial Talisman to escape from the Celestial Duke of the Compa.s.sionate Celestial Traveler Sect. Currently, he had become the Chief Celestial Alchemist of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, one of the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland.

‘If I have the opportunity, I must personally visit and thank him. If it weren’t for him, Yu’er wouldn’t have been able to join the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, and I wouldn’t be the Emperor of the Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom,’ King Qin thought to himself.

As news about Duan Ling Tian becoming the Chief Celestial Alchemist of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect spread, the incident of the elder of the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect, Teng Qing, and the Guardian of the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect, Xue Lang, being killed by the Left Guardian of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, Tie Tai He, had long been forgotten.

Although the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect and the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect had no good reasons to make a fuss, they were secretly scheming. This was also due to Duan Ling Tian becoming the Chief Celestial Alchemist of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect. When they learned that Duan Ling Tian was not even 100 years old, they thought that he was only an ordinary prominent Celestial Alchemist. For this reason, they were rather certain the three prominent Celestial Alchemists of Tai Yi Celestial Sect would definitely feel dissatisfied about Duan Ling Tian becoming the Chief Celestial Alchemist of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect.

As long as the three prominent Celestial Alchemists were dissatisfied, they would be able to entice the three of them to join their respective sect with just a little effort.

However, reality was truly cruel. No matter what the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect and the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect did, the three Prominent Celestial Alchemists of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect refused them. Their refusal would get harsher and harsher as time pa.s.sed!

Back then, the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect and the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect had tried to win over the three prominent Celestial Alchemists. However, the three prominent Celestial Alchemists were still polite when rejecting them. However, now, the three prominent Celestial Alchemists were no longer polite.

“What’s going on?”

The people from the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect and the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect were dumbfounded. What the h.e.l.l was going on? It did not make sense at all.

However, they did not know the reason the three prominent Celestial Alchemists of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect were so stubborn and adamant about not leaving the Tai Yi Sect was due to the new Chief Celestial Alchemist.

In the eyes of the three prominent Celestial Alchemists, it was far better to stay in the Tai Yi Celestial Sect and maintain a good relations.h.i.+p with Duan Ling Tian than to defect to the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect or the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect. Previously, it did not matter to them much which sect they belonged to. However, now, they wanted to stay in the Tai Yi Celestial Sect due to the extraordinarily talented Chief Celestial Alchemist.

This was something the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect and the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect would not expect even in their wildest dreams.

Time flew by quickly, and soon the Wasteland Grand Contest was just right around the corner.

A group of figures swiftly rushed out from the Thousands Spiders Celestial Sect’s estate, heading in the direction of Tai Yi City.

Among these people, there were disciples and high-ranking officials of the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect.

“Duan Ling Tian is the Chief Celestial Alchemist of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect?”

“This… How’s this possible?!”

After returning from the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom, Zhou Shu Qiu had been cultivating in seclusion so she was not aware of the matters of the outside world. She had only come out of closed-door cultivation today to head to Tai Yi City with the people from the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect to watch the Wasteland Grand Contest when she heard the shocking news.
