Chapter 3284 - The Copper Mountain Celestial Emperor

Chapter 3284: The Copper Mountain Celestial Emperor

The t.i.tle Temple had branch temples located in the core territory of each Devata Realm. The t.i.tle Temple in the Boundless Heaven was located in the Boundless Territory where the Heavenly Pool Palace was also located. However, there was a long distance between the two places. The t.i.tle Temple was located in the far west of the Boundless Territory. The Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy was here thin so not many people would come to this place.

“The t.i.tle Temple is right in front.” Xu Lang’s calm and soothing voice rang in everyone’s ears at this moment.

Duan Ling Tian discovered their flying speed was decreasing as soon as Xu Lang finished speaking.

At this moment, a majestic palace appeared in front of Duan Ling Tian’s eyes. It looked like a behemoth in the desert. Since the time he had ascended to the Spirit Overarching Heaven until now, it was his first time seeing such a large palace. Not only did it occupy a vast area, but its height was terrifyingly tall as well. Although they were still a distance away from the palace, it did not lessen the majesty of the palace. Most importantly, when he set eyes on the palace, he felt a resonance in his heart and soul. It felt as though he was experiencing a sacred purification ritual.

Hu Mei exclaimed, “The rumors are true! There’s really a terrifying power in the t.i.tle Temple. When I look at it earlier, it feels like my heart and soul were purified…”

“Me too,” Wen Wan’er chimed in,

Upon hearing his senior sisters’ words, Duan Ling Tian realized he was not the only one who had experienced that strange feeling.

“That’s not surprising,” Xu Lang said, “The t.i.tle Temple has been around for so long that it’s impossible to trace its origin. Most people only know that it has existed since the beginning of Devata Realms. The t.i.tle Temple has been around for so long that it reigns supreme in all Devata Realms; even the Heavenly Emperor’s force reveres it.”

Duan Ling Tian had already learned of this matter in the past so he was not surprised when he heard Xu Lang’s words. As he surveyed his surroundings, he saw a few figures flying from different directions toward the t.i.tle Temple.

At this moment, a loud and energetic voice rang from the distance.

“Xu Lang!”

Two figures flying at top speed in the distance suddenly changed course and arrived in front of Duan Ling Tian and the others in just a blink of an eye. One of them was a muscular old man who was dressed in a blue robe while the other was a skinny young man dressed in a brocade robe who held a fan in his hand. The person who had called out to Xu Lang seemed to be the muscular old man.

“Zheng Yu Yi?” Xu Lang raised his eyebrows slightly before he greeted the old man. Then, he looked at the skinny young man standing next to the old man and asked, “Is this the disciple you accepted 100 years ago?’

“That’s right.” The old man nodded with a wide smile on his face. “I brought this useless disciple of mine here so he can take the test to become a t.i.tled Celestial Lord. Although he’s not even 400 years old, he’s more than capable of pa.s.sing the t.i.tle Temple’s test.” He could barely conceal the pride he felt when he spoke. After a moment, he looked at Xu Lang meaningfully and asked, “Xu Lang, from what I know, your youngest disciple who’s under 700 years old and can barely pa.s.s the test to become a t.i.tled Celestial Lord, right?”

“Are you talking about my sixth disciple, Hong Fe? Yes, he’s barely able to pa.s.s the test to become a t.i.tled Celestial Lord.” Xu Lang nodded.

The old man swept his gaze past Duan Ling Tian and the others before he asked, “He’s not here?”

“That’s right. He’s not here.” Xu Lang nodded again.

“Then which disciple did you bring here?” the old man asked.

“I brought my third disciple, fourth disciple, and seventh disciple who just joined us, and his partner,” Xu Lang said.

Upon being introduced as Duan Ling Tian’s partner, Huan’er’s cheeks turned red. However, since she was wearing a veil, no one could tell she was blus.h.i.+ng.

“Seventh disciple? A new disciple?” The old man furrowed his brows slightly as he looked at Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er. “Which one among these two is your new disciple?”

Xu Lang glanced at Duan Ling Tian before he said with a smile, “It’s him. Old Seven, this is Zheng Yu Yi, the Copper Mountain Celestial Emperor. He’s an old friend of mine…” The corners of Xu Lang’s lips lifted into a disdainful smile when he said the words ‘old friend’.

Duan Ling Tian nodded slightly.

Xu Lang continued to say, “Zheng Yu Yi, this is my youngest disciple, Duan Ling Tian.”

“How old is your youngest disciple?” the old man asked. He knew the seniority of Xu Lang’s disciples was decided based on the time they joined Xu Lang. Therefore, he was of the opinion that the purple-clad young man might be quite old even if he was the youngest disciple. At the very least, the purple-clad had to be older than his disciple.

Xu Lang’s smile widened slightly before he replied, “He’s not even 300 years old?”

“Not even 300 years old?” The old man was stunned.

Even the skinny young man seemed taken aback by Duan Ling Tian’s age.

After a moment, the old man shook his head and laughed before he said, “Xu Lang, I didn’t expect you to learn to exaggerate since the last time we met more than 100 years ago.”

Xu Lang said lightly, “Exaggerate? You don’t believe my youngest disciple is younger than 300 years old?”

“How can someone under the age of 300 be capable of pa.s.sing the test to become a t.i.tled Celestial Lord? Such a person is rare even in the entire Boundless Heaven, right? Moreover, would such a person join you, Xu Lang?” The old man sneered when he finished speaking.

Before Xu Lang responded, Hu Mei said with a bright smile on her face, “Senior Uncle Zheng, whether my Little Junior Brother is really under the age of 300 or not, won’t you know if you ask your friends in the Heavenly Pool Palace? His name is Duan Ling Tian…” It seems like this was not her first time meeting Zheng Yu Yi.

“Little Hu Mei, you know very well your teacher is the only one I know in the Heavenly Pool Palace. Is that why you suggested this?” Zheng Yu Yi said as he scoffed softly.

Following that, Zheng Yu Yi brought a formation compa.s.s out and asked, “Boy, do you dare to place your hand on this formation compa.s.s?”

The formation compa.s.s shot out and hovered in front of Duan Ling Tian.

Duan Ling Tian looked at the round face of the formation compa.s.s that was divided into ten sections.

Hu Mei promptly said, “Little Junior Brother, this is a formation compa.s.s that measures one’s age. It’ll reveal your age once you put your hand on it. Each of the ten sections represents 100 years of age. It provides a rough estimate of one’s age instead of one’s precise age.”

After Hu Mei finished speaking, Duan Ling Tian put his hand on the formation compa.s.s.

A surge of energy shot out of the formation compa.s.s and wrapped itself around Duan Ling Tian’s hand immediately. He felt a chilly energy circulating in his body before it returned to the formation compa.s.s. Soon after, three sections on the formation compa.s.s lit up.

“He’s really under 300 years old?” Zheng Yu Yi frowned slightly as he put his formation compa.s.s away. He really did not expect Xu Lang’s newest disciple to be less than 300 years old. After a moment, he asked skeptically, “Xu Lang, earlier, you said your youngest disciple is going to… partic.i.p.ate in the test to become a t.i.tled Celestial Lord. Is he capable of pa.s.sing the test at such a young age?”

Xu Lang replied with a faint smile on his face, “How’s it possible that he’s incapable of pa.s.sing the test to become a t.i.tled Celestial Lord? Would I bring him here otherwise?”

As soon as Xu Lang finished speaking, the skinny young man standing next to the old man stepped forward immediately. He stared at Duan Ling Tian pointedly as he said, “I, Nan Liu Feng, challenge you to a duel!”

Zheng Yu Yi was startled. It was obvious he did not know his disciple was going to challenge Duan Ling Tian. Nevertheless, he had no intention of stopping his disciple. He looked at Xu Lang and asked with a faint smile on his face, “Xu Lang, since you’re confident of your youngest disciple’s strength, you should have no objection to my useless disciple challenging your disciple, right?”

Xu Lang frowned slightly. He did not know how strong Zheng Yu Yi’s disciple was, but he was certain Zheng Yu Yi’s disciple was no match for Duan Ling Tian.

At this moment, Hu Mei spoke up again. She shook her head and said, “Senior Uncle Zheng, I don’t think that’s necessary.”

“Why? Are you afraid?” Zheng Yu Yi laughed heartily. “It’s okay to be honest. We’re not the type to force people to do things if they’re unwilling…”

Hu Mei shook her head again and said with a straight face, “Well, you’re not wrong to say I’m afraid. However, I’m only afraid it’ll be humiliating for you…”

“Humiliating?”

Zheng Yu Yi’s expression soured while Nan Liu Feng’s expression darkened as soon as Hu Mei finished speaking.

“Boy, show me what you’ve got.” Nan Liu Feng stepped forward immediately. His robes and hair began to flutter in the air as his Celestial Origin Energy surged out of his body. Lightning bolts flashed around his body immediately. At this moment, his gaze was icy when he stared at Duan Ling Tian.
