Chapter 4095: Duan Ling Tian Learns About the Dark Net
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Most people in the Myriad Laws Academy knew about the Dark Net. As long as one stayed in the academy long enough, one would eventually find out about the Dark Net.
There were rumors that the Dark Net existed since the founding of the Myriad Laws Academy, and many people highly suspected that the Dark Net was maintained by the Academy Masters from generation to generation. Otherwise, how could it have existed for so long?
In the past, there were many high-ranking officials of the Myriad Laws Academy who tried to destroy the Dark Net, but their efforts were futile. Their investigation would always lead to dead-ends, and they failed to find its source. Moreover, even if they had their suspicions, none of them dared to investigate the Academy Masters of their times. As time passed, they also no longer brought up the matter of destroying the Dark Net. Although nothing was confirmed, most of them were certain that the Academy Masters supported or created the Dark Net. Since the beginning, not one Academy Master had opposed the existence of the Dark Net as though they were tacitly supporting its existence.
…
Meanwhile, more and more people began to pay attention to Duan Ling Tian when they discovered that the task related to him had been accepted by someone.
Although the task was targeted at those below the realm of an Emperor of Gods, it did not take long before the Emperors of Gods and those who were stronger found out about the task.

‘Someone posted a task related to Duan Ling Tian on the Dark Net?’
Before leaving the Myriad Laws Market, Tan Fei had heard people discussing this matter. A frown could be seen on his face as he hurried back to the dormitory.
When he finally entered his room, he executed a series of hand gestures to open the Dark Net. He browsed the list and quickly found the task related to Duan Ling Tian.
The task specified that one had to make a move against Duan Ling Tian in the open to test Duan Ling Tian. If one was able to defeat Duan Ling Tian, the reward would be much greater.
‘I should warn him about this…’ Tang Fei thought to himself as his eyes brightened.
He did not waste time and quickly went to the room next to his.
…
At this time, Duan Ling Tian was looking through the jade tokens he received during the admission process. When he heard a knock on the door, he raised an eyebrow.
‘It’s him?’
Duan Ling Tian did not activate the noise-canceling Formation so he could hear the knock loud and clear. He frowned, wondering why Tan Fei was looking for him. Since he was not cultivating, he rose to his feet and opened the door.
“How may I help you?” Duan Ling Tian asked.
Tan Fei looked around warily before he asked, “Duan Ling Tian, is it convenient for us to speak in private? We can speak in my room if it’s inconvenient to speak in yours.”
“Please come in,” Duan Ling Tian said, feeling curious as he gestured for Tan Fei to enter the room.
After the door was locked, Tan Fei looked at Duan Ling Tian and asked, “Duan Ling Tian, do you know about the Dark Net?”
“The Dark Net?” Duan Ling Tian looked at Tan Fei, puzzled. He naturally did not know about the Dark Net. The jade tokens he received did not mention the Dark Net at all.
Seeing the puzzled and curious expression on Duan Ling Tian’s face, Tan Fei said, “It seems like you haven’t heard of it yet. Perhaps, Vice Academy Master Yang forgot to tell you about it. Anyway, the Dark Net is a special platform in the Myriad Laws Academy. People can post various tasks there or accept tasks there…”
After listening to Tan Fei’s explanation, Duan Ling Tian wondered inwardly, ‘So people suspect that the Dark Net is created by an assistive prominent divine artifact with a complete artifact soul and that the owner of that prominent divine artifact is the Academy Master of the Myriad Laws Academy?’
Duan Ling Tian also thought that it was likely the Academy Masters of the Myriad Laws Academy were behind the Dark Net after Tan Fei told him that no Academy Masters had ever opposed the existence of the Dark Net.
Finally, Duan Ling Tian frowned as he muttered, “Someone issued a task related to me?”
Tan Fei completed a series of hand gestures and summoned the Dark Net. Then, he quickly looked for the task related to Duan Ling Tian,
The task was to test Duan Ling Tian’s strength, and it was even better if one could defeat him. The task was only open to those below the realm of an Emperor of Gods.
Even Duan Ling Tian was tempted when he saw the lucrative reward.
In just a short moment, Duan Ling Tian noticed that someone had accepted the task.
“Since only those below the realm of an Emperor of Gods are allowed to accept the task, this means that Emperors of Gods and those who are stronger won’t be able to see the task. However, it won’t be long before they hear about it,” Tan Fei said. His expression grew solemn as he continued to say, “‘Since someone has accepted the task, I think it won’t be long before he or she comes looking for you. Duan Ling Tian, your performance during the Seven Mansions Feast isn’t a secret. Since the other party dares to accept the task, the other party has to be a very outstanding Lord of Gods in the academy. In fact, the other party likely comes from a powerful supreme-rank force. As such, you shouldn’t act recklessly.”
“I understand,” Duan Ling Tian said with a nod and a smile, “Thank you for warning me about this.”
After a beat, Duan Ling Tian asked, “Can you teach me the way to access the Dark Net?”
Duan Ling Tian was naturally intrigued by the Dark Net. It was somewhat similar to the platforms on the Internet on Earth. The difference was that the Internet existed due to the development of technology while the Dark Net existed because of an assistive prominent divine artifact.
‘That assistive prominent divine artifact must have many Formations that can cover the entire Myriad Laws Academy so everyone in the academy has access to it. It’s somewhat similar to platforms like Taobao on Earth. Did the creator of the Dark Net visit Earth before? It seems likely since Earth is just an insignificant mundane realm. In the Yan Huang Realm alone, where Earth is located, there are many more places where the technology is more advanced than that on Earth. Hence, the creator of the Dark Net might have visited one of those places…’
After Tan Fei taught Duan Ling Tian the series of hand gestures to access the Dark Net, he said, “You can only access the Dark Net in the Myriad Laws Academy. Apart from that, if a task requires you to kill a divine beast, the task will only be considered completed after you bring its carcass back to the academy. In short, tasks can only be posted and accepted in the academy, and the completion of the task also has to be in the academy. Apart from that, tasks that are impossible to complete in the academy or impossible for the Dark Net to verify their completions will mostly be posted at the Myriad Laws Market. A basic example of such tasks is sending a letter to someone outside of the academy. In any case, those who post on the Dark Net usually want to remain anonymous. If you ask me, the person who posted the task related to you wants to remain anonymous because he or she is afraid of offending Vice Academy Master Yang.”
Duan Ling Tian was even more intrigued by the Dark Net after listening to Tan Fei’s words.
‘I wonder who issued the task?’
Before Tan Fei left, he said, “Duan Ling Tian, remember to stay vigilant. I’ll take my leave first.”
“Thank you,” Duan Ling Tian replied with a nod.
Initially, Duan Ling Tian did not plan to have any intersections with Tan Fei. However, since Tan Fei warned him about this, he felt that he owed Tan Fei a favor.
