Chapter 3667: Duan Ling Tian Finally Comes Out of Closed-door Cultivation

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The middle-aged man was taken aback by Duan Ling Tian’s confidence. Despite being an advanced god, he was ranked bottom among the inner disciples who were advanced gods. In fact, some of the more outstanding intermediate gods had strength on par with his.

A hint of fear flashed in the middle-aged man’s eyes as he mulled over the reason why an intermediate god was so confident facing an advanced god.

Similarly, fear could be seen in the dull-looking young man’s eyes as he asked, “Who are you?”

Duan Ling Tian said mockingly, “You don’t even know who I am, but you dare disturb me when I’m cultivating? Did the person who sent you here not tell you about me?”

At this time, Duan Ling Tian was rather certain the person who sent these two people here to look for trouble with him was Tu Feng, the disciple of the second elder of the Hidden Fog Sect. Hence, he added, “Perhaps, I should be more direct. Did Tu Feng not tell you about me before he sent you here?”

The duo’s expressions changed drastically.

Although Tu Feng did not explicitly tell them to look for Duan Ling Tian, they had indeed come because of Tu Feng. Earlier, they were chatting with Tu Feng when Tu Feng mentioned there was a newcomer whom he wanted to teach a lesson to. The duo decided to take matters into their own hands since it did not seem difficult to look for trouble with a newcomer. They could claim credit in front of Tu Feng at that time, and Tu Feng might even reward them. However, it was beyond their expectations that Duan Ling Tian was calm even after they threatened him.

Seeing the duo’s silence, Duan Ling Tian smiled and said, “I’m Duan Ling Tian.”

The duo’s expression changed again upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words.

“Y-you’re Duan Ling Tian?”

“You’re that Ten Stars student from Skywind City’s Hidden Fog Academy?!”

The duo began to panic. They had naturally heard about the monstrous genius from the Hidden Fog Academy. News about Duan Ling Tian’s outstanding performance during the Ten Stars students’ trial had long spread in the Hidden Fog Sect. They knew he was only 3,000 years old but had already become an intermediate god and comprehended triple Fused Profundities from the law of space, which was one of the Four Supreme Laws.

Although the duo was much older than Duan Ling Tian, they had only comprehended two or three double Fused Profundities. Although they were advanced gods, they knew they were no match for Duan Ling Tian. Even if they joined forces, they would only fight to a draw at most.

All of that aside, a monstrous genius like Duan Ling Tian definitely had a bright future ahead of him. The duo knew it would be disastrous if they offended Duan Ling Tian. As long as no accidents happened, Duan Ling Tian would definitely surpass them.

The duo exchanged a look and saw the regret in each other’s eyes as they communicated through Voice Transmission. They would not have acted so boldly if they knew their target was Duan Ling Tian.

“We’re too naive! We should’ve known Senior Brother Tu Feng wouldn’t have asked for Senior Brother Qi’s help if he wanted to deal with an ordinary inner disciple.”

“We can only blame ourselves for acting rashly…”

At the same time, Duan Ling Tian said with a nod, “Indeed, I’m from Skywind City’s Hidden Fog Academy. Based on your earlier words, it seems like you want to challenge me to a duel. I accept your challenge.”

The middle-aged man forced a smile on his face as he hurriedly said, “Junior Brother Duan, I-I was just j-joking. Anyone can occupy the vacant houses. Since it was vacant when you moved in, you can naturally stay here.”

“Is that so?” Duan Ling Tian stared at the middle-aged man intently.

“Yes, yes,” the middle-aged man hastily said before turning to the young man next to him and said, “Hurry up and help me say something as well!”

With this, the young man regained his senses and chimed in, “That’s right. It’s just a joke, Junior Brother Duan!”

“It didn’t seem like a joke to me. Tell me the truth, and I’ll let this matter go,” Duan Ling Tian said as he narrowed his eyes.

The duo exchanged a look before they turned to look at Duan Ling Tian and told him everything they knew through Voice Transmission.

“Junior Brother Duan, please forgive me for disturbing you.”

“Junior Brother Duan, you best keep an eye out on Senior Brother Qi Yu. He’s one of the top ten strongest gods among inner disciples. His comprehension should be on par with yours. He’s comprehended a triple Fused Profundity from the law of wind.”

‘Qi Yu? He comprehended a triple Fused Profundity from the law of wind?’ Duan Ling Tian’s narrowed eyes glinted frostily.

Initially, he had wondered why Tu Feng sent two weak gods to teach him a lesson. As it turned out, the duo took the initiative to look for trouble with him in order to curry favor with Tu Feng.

“Junior Brother Duan, if there’s nothing else, we’ll take our leave now. Sorry for bothering you.”

With that, the duo hurriedly left before Duan Ling Tian could even respond.

‘Am I that scary?’ Duan Ling Tian was stunned when he saw the speed at which the duo vanished. He shook his head and returned to his stone house.

He continued cultivating, hoping to break through and become an advanced god so his performance during the Stairway to Heaven Competition would not be too shocking. After all, he did not want to attract unnecessary attention.

“I have a few months left before the Heavenly Stairs Battle. I should be able to become an advanced god by then. Moreover, I still have the leftover efficacy from the Dragon Pattern Divine Grass.”

Subsequently, Duan Ling Tian began to immerse himself in cultivating. He activated the Formation compass he had been given so as to avoid being disturbed. Unless the Formation was destroyed, he would not be alerted to all the small commotions outside. He had even cast a Formation that functioned like an alarm clock, which he had learned during his last month in the Hidden Fog Academy, to remind him of the time.

Hence, for the next few months, Duan Ling Tian cultivated undisturbed.

…

Duan Ling Tian lost track of time as he tried to break through and become an advanced god using the Dragon Pattern Divine Grass’ leftover efficacy.

Alas, before he could do so, he was woken up by the alarm-like Formation that he had cast to wake him up on the morning of the Heavenly Stairs Battle.

“Time’s up? I was so close…” Duan Ling Tian sighed, feeling helpless. He was on the brink of achieving a breakthrough, after all. He needed only a few more days to break through the bottleneck but was interrupted at the critical point.

While he was lost in his thoughts, a voice rang from outside his stone house.

“Duan Ling Tian, you’re finally out of your closed-door cultivation.”

It was none other than Tang Wu Yan, Tang Chun’s grandniece.

Since he was in closed-door cultivation over the past few months, he had been unreachable until now.
