“Although Zheng Hong Yi is a direct disciple of the current Sect Leader of the Simplicity Celestial Sect, he’s not a true disciple.”

“That’s probably why he’s so obviously jealous of Duan Ling Tian!”

“Put him aside, even I am jealous!”

Although the group of peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials had just joined the Simplicity Celestial Sect, they knew about true disciples in the sect.

Meanwhile, the patrolling disciples began to discuss among themselves.

“It’s true that there’s an opening for the tenth true disciple… However, Lord Sect Leader bestowed it to a person who’s not even an official disciple of the sect yet?”

“Who the h.e.l.l is he?”

“Not only did Lord Sect Leader make him a true disciple, but Lord Vice Sect Leader is treating him respectfully as well!”

“This group of people whom Lord Vice Sect Leader brought back to the sect is the surviving partic.i.p.ants from the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm who had chosen to join

our Simplicity Celestial Sect.”

“It’s likely that the young man is a partic.i.p.ant as well. Based on Lord Vice Sect Leader’s treatment of him, he must have ranked quite high on the scoreboard.”

“Ranked quite high on the scoreboard? He’s not even 100 years old, how high could his rank be?”

“He’s not even 100 years old?”

“Indeed!”

“It’s unlikely for a peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial less than 100 years old to comprehend more than one profundity of a law… Why would Lord Vice Sect Leader treat someone like that so respectfully?”

“He’s probably not a simple person. After all, how could Lord Sect Leader make someone ordinary a true disciple of the Simplicity Celestial Sect?”

All of the disciples were extremely curious as to why the purple-clad young man was so favored by the Sect Leader and the Vice Sect Leader of the Simplicity Celestial Sect.

As the Vice Sect Leader of the Simplicity Celestial Sect, Zhang Guang Zheng’s hearing was, naturally, good. It was not hard for him to overhear the discussions in his surroundings. He said, “Although Duan Ling Tian is younger than 100 years old, he’s ranked second on the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm’s scoreboard!” He paused for a beat before he continued to say, “Apart from that, he’s also a peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial who has comprehended two profundities from the law of earth.”

After Zhang Guang Zheng finished speaking, he said to Duan Ling Tian with a smile, “Duan Ling Tian, don’t mind them. Let’s meet the sect leader…”

“Alright.” Duan Ling Tian nodded. He looked at Zheng Hong Yi a final time before he turned away. He finally discovered why Zheng Hong Yi was jealous of him and hated him. After all, he, a newcomer, was made a true disciple while Zheng Hong Yi, the sect leader’s direct disciple, was not a true disciple. ‘As a direct disciple of the Sect Leader of the Simplicity Celestial Sect, Zheng Hong Yi must have long hoped to become the sect’s tenth true disciple. It’s only natural that he’s upset after the spot has been given to me.’

When they were out of hearing range, Zhang Guang Zheng confirmed Duan Ling Tian’s speculation. “If it weren’t for you, Zheng Hong Yi would very likely become our sect’s tenth true disciple…”

Apart from Zheng Hong Yi and Xue Jing Yu who knew Duan Ling Tian’s true strength, the disciples of the Simplicity Celestial Sect were shocked by Zhang Guang Zheng’s words before he left.

“A peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial who’s not even 100 years old comprehended two profundities from the law of earth? How’s that possible?!”

“It could be attributed to sheer luck if he only ranked second on the scoreboard. However, it’s clear he’s extraordinary based on the fact that he managed to comprehend two profundities from the law of earth at his age!”

“He’s more than extraordinary! Even the most talented person in the history of the Simplicity Celestial Sect was not capable of such a feat.”

“I didn’t expect the purple-clad young man to be such a monstrous talent! With this, it’s no wonder he’s given such treatment.”

“No wonder Lord Sect Leader made him a true disciple! He’s a peerless genius!”

Even some of the partic.i.p.ants of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm who chose to join the Simplicity Celestial Sect were shocked since they did not know about Duan Ling Tian’s strength.

There were a few who were rather skeptical of Zhang Guang Zheng’s words.

“Duan Ling Tian really comprehended two profundities from the law of earth?”

“Of course! Before the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm opened, I witnessed Duan Ling Tian’s fight with Xue Jing Yu, the Second Prince of the Southern Qi Nation. Xue Jing Yu was thoroughly defeated!” a middle-aged peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial said as he looked at Xue Jing Yu who was standing nearby, “Xue Jing Yu is here as well. If you don’t believe me, you can ask him.”

Everyone’s eyes immediately s.h.i.+fted to Xue Jing Yu.

Xue Jing Yu nodded. “It’s true. Duan Ling Tian has, indeed, comprehended two profundities… Apart from the law of earth’s Fundamental Profundity, the Earth Elemental Profundity, he has comprehended a defensive profundity as well. I used all my strength at that time but still failed to breach his defense.”

As the talented Second Prince of the Southern Qi Nation, Xue Jing Yu was fairly famous among the disciples present on the scene. They knew about his strength as well. With his confirmation, they no longer doubted Duan Ling Tian’s strength.

Zheng Hong Yi looked at Duan Ling Tian and Zhang Guang Zheng’s backs until they disappeared from his sight. Then, he inhaled deeply and suppressed his resentment before he said, “Everyone, please come with me… I’ll bring you to complete the necessary procedure to officially join the sect before bringing you to your accommodations.”

As Zheng Hong Yi led the newcomers away, his eyes flashed with killing intent. ‘He’s just a mere peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial… No one would suspect me even if he met with an accident.’ He had already sentenced Duan Ling Tian to death in his heart because Duan Ling Tian had s.n.a.t.c.hed away his chance of becoming a true disciple. Before Duan Ling Tian appeared, although it was not 100% guaranteed, he was still the most likely candidate to become the tenth true disciple of the Simplicity Celestial Sect. Duan Ling Tian’s appearance had completely destroyed his chance of becoming a true disciple.

The cultivation place of the Sect Leader of the Simplicity Celestial Sect was, naturally, one of the places with the best cultivation environment in the Simplicity Celestial Sect. It was five times better than the area Duan Ling Tian was in.

The cultivation place of the Sect Leader of the Simplicity Celestial Sect was situated in a small valley with lush green trees. The sound of birds chirping rang in the air as the smell of blooming flowers permeated the place.

When they arrived in front of a wooden hut in the middle of the valley, Zhang Guang Zheng bowed slightly and called out, “Sect leader.”

“Senior Brother Zhang, I’ve said many times that there isn’t a need for you to be so courteous with me. You can just address me by my name like you used to… After all, if it weren’t for you, I would’ve died a long time ago, let alone becoming the sect leader!”

Soon after, Duan Ling Tian saw a slender figure above the wooden hut. It was a middle-aged man dressed in an old robe. His appearance was average, but his eyes were keen and bright. ‘So he’s the Sect Leader of the Simplicity Celestial Sect?’

“We can’t just dispense with formality,” Zhang Guang Zheng said as he looked at the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man only smiled helplessly. Then, he turned to look at Duan Ling Tian who was standing next to Zhang Guang Zheng and said with a smile, “You must be Duan Ling Tian? I’m Sun Liang Peng, the current Sect Leader of the Simplicity Celestial Sect.” His smiling face looked kind and amiable when he spoke to Duan Ling Tian.

Duan Ling Tian greeted Sun Liang Peng immediately. “Sect leader.”

“Senior Brother Zhang had told me about you through a Communication Celestial Talisman,” Sun Liang Peng looked at Duan Ling Tian and said, “However, I’d still like to test your strength if you don’t mind…”

Sun Liang Peng did not wait for Duan Ling Tian’s reply as he continued to say, “It goes without saying that I’ll suppress my Celestial Origin Energy to that of a to peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial, and I’d only use two profundities from a law.”

“Of course, I don’t mind.” Duan Ling Tian was not surprised by Sun Liang Peng’s request. After all, the Simplicity Celestial Sect had promised him great things. It was only normal that they wanted to verify his strength.

“Great!” Sun Liang Peng’s eyes brightened. Then, he flew into the sky as swift as a swallow. In just a blink of an eye, he was already more than thousands of meters above the ground.

Duan Ling Tian moved and flew up as well. At the same time, he called out to the Chaos Divine Earth, “Chaos Divine Earth, the Sect Leader of the Simplicity Celestial Sect isn’t an ordinary person. When you’re defending me from his attacks, try to emulate the law of earth’s defensive profundity…”

“Alright, that’s a small matter.” The Chaos Divine Earth’s childish voice rang in Duan Ling Tian’s mind. He was clearly not worried that Sun Liang Peng would discover his existence.

“I heard your strength lies with the defensive profundity from the law of earth… I’ll attack with my Celestial Origin Energy that’s been suppressed to the level of a peak Overarching Heaven Supreme Celestial and two profundities from the law of metal. Apart from that, I’ll also use a few Duke Grade Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities!” Sun Liang Peng said as he stood across Duan Ling Tian. He raised his hand, and a strange sword appeared in his hand almost immediately. The sword was more than four feet long, and its sharp edge glinted fiercely in the light.

Sun Liang Peng asked, “This is a King Grade Celestial nurtured by a Celestial Lord… Since you’re ranked second in the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm, I’m sure you managed to obtain a King Grade Celestial Weapon nurtured by a Celestial Lord as well, right?”
