“No wonder, he’s an Eight Trigrams Celestial Duke…”

“The Tai Yi Celestial Sect is one of the top sects in the Wasteland. Saying that, it’s still weaker than the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect. Why did he seem unafraid of offending the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect?”

“That’s right… He didn’t leave a shred of dignity for the Young Master of Profound Heaven Celestial Sect at all!”

“Isn’t he afraid that he’ll get the Tai Yi Celestial Sect into trouble?”

Most people were certain the Old Ancestor of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect would bring trouble to the sect for offending the Young Master of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect.

There were, naturally, some who disagreed as well.

“Well, if you think about it, the Old Ancestor of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect is senior to the Young Master of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect… Why does he need to tread on eggshells around his junior?”

“Yes! Although the overall strength of the Profound Heaven Sect is stronger than the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, the top sects of the Six Southeastern Regions are somewhat equal to a certain extent. Many factors are involved when determining which sect is stronger… Who knows if there are currently Ten Directions Celestial Dukes silently guarding the Tai Yi Celestial Sect?”

“That’s right. If the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect acts against the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, that incident from hundreds of thousands of years ago might happen again.”

“The Old Ancestor of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect has already taken the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect into consideration by sparing the lives of the Young Master of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect…”

“Indeed. If those three weren’t from the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect, they would’ve been killed by the Old Ancestor of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect!”

Although the little conflict was over, the crowd was extremely lively as they continued to discuss among themselves.

Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian and the others soon arrived at the residence of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect in Alchemy City of the Barren Land.

After they entered the residence, before everyone went their own way, the Old Ancestor of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect solemnly said to Duan Ling Tian, “Master Duan, since I took the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect into consideration and spared the lives of Bai Yu Xuan and his three men, we don’t need to worry about the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect looking for trouble with us. However, Bai Yu Xuan will certainly not let this matter go. Therefore, it’s better for you to not go out unless it’s absolutely necessary. If you truly need to go out, remember to inform me so I can accompany you…”

“That’s right!” Situ Ming nodded in agreement as he looked at Duan Ling Tian with a somber expression and said, “Master Duan, in the coming month, you must remember to inform the Old Ancestor if you’re going out. Bai Yu Xuan is the Young Master of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect after all. You shouldn’t underestimate the influence he wields. Moreover, his cultivation base is higher than yours and Miss Huan’er’s… He can easily defeat you and Miss Huan’er.”

Although Yang Chong and Yu Zhong Jing did not speak, they both nodded in agreement.

“I understand.” Duan Ling Tian nodded. Even without the reminder from the Old Ancestor of Tai Yi Celestial Sect, he still would not venture out alone. He had only acted so boldly in front of Bai Yu Xuan earlier because the Old Ancestor of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect was present. Without the protection of the old ancestor, it would be easy for Bai Yu Xuan to retaliate against him.

After everyone went their own way, Duan Ling Tian sighed. ‘Currently, I’m still too weak…’

Duan Ling Tian walked into an independent courtyard in the residence. It was located close to the others’ courtyards. If anything happened, the others would be able to rush to his aid as quickly as possible. The courtyard had three rooms, and the compound was spacious and filled with flowers and plants. It looked refreshing and elegant, and it also gave off a cozy feeling.

At this moment, Huan’er curiously asked, “Brother Ling Tian, ​​is the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect so strong? Why does it seem like even the old man is slightly afraid of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect?” In her opinion, the old man who brought them to Alchemy City was the strongest person in the Tai Yi Celestial Sect and was revered. Even the Sect Leader of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect was respectful and deferential to the old man. However, even such a person seemed slightly afraid of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect. Thus, she was a little curious.

Since Situ Ming and the others only told Duan Ling Tian about the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect during their journey here, Huan’er was, naturally, unaware of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect. She was busy comprehending her Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities during the journey after all.

“Huan’er, the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect is the strongest sect in the Six Southeastern Regions…” Duan Ling Tian said, disclosing everything he knew about the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect to Huan’er.

“There are three Ten Directions Celestial Dukes in the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect?” Even Huan’er who was usually indifferent was slightly surprised by the fact that there were three Ten Directions Celestial Dukes in the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect. She asked, “Brother Ling Tian… If I’m not mistaken, the old man from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, the strongest person in the sect, is just an Eight Trigrams Celestial Duke, right?”

“Yes.” Duan Ling Tian nodded. “The old ancestor is indeed an Eight Trigrams Celestial Duke. Above Eight Trigrams Celestial Dukes are Nine Palaces Celestial Dukes and Ten Directions Celestial Dukes. This means the old ancestor’s strength is two levels lower than the three Ten Directions Celestials Dukes from the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect!”

Huan’er murmured, “Apart from the Ten Directions Celestial Dukes, there must be Nine Palaces Celestial Dukes as well in the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect… It’s no surprise the Tai Yi Celestial Sect is no match for the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect.”

After a while, a thought appeared in Huan’er’s mind, and she asked again, “Brother Ling Tian… Since the Profound Heaven Celestial is so much stronger than the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, why is the old man so bold as to offend the Young Master of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect earlier? Isn’t he afraid the Sect Leader of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect would look for trouble with the Tai Yi Celestial Sect in a fit of rage? If the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect attacks the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, the Tai Yi Celestial Sect won’t stand a chance at all, right?”

“It’s true that the Tai Yi Celestial Sect would be powerless to fight back if the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect makes a move against them. Even if the other two Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland lend a helping hand, the Tai Yi Celestial Sect still won’t be a match for the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect,” Duan Ling Tian replied.

“If that’s the case, why did the old man act in that manner toward the Young Master of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect? Isn’t he afraid that the Sect Leader of Profound Heaven Celestial Sect would seek revenge?” Huan’er asked again.

“The Old Ancestor of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect is the strongest person in the sect and represents the sect. The sect is also one of the top sects in the Six Southeastern Regions so it has its own dignity to protect as well. If the old ancestor is subservient to the Young Master of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect, everyone would look down on the sect. Reputation is important. There are times where we shouldn’t back down,” Duan Ling Tian explained, “Furthermore, the old ancestor did not go too far. He did not kill anyone. If the Sect Leader of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect attacks the Tai Yi Celestial Sect because of this, he would only gain a bad reputation. Moreover, the other high-ranking officials of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect might not agree with their sect leader’s actions over such a minor matter.”

“Why?” Huan’er asked in confusion, “With the strength of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect, it’d be easy for them to annihilate the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, right?”

“Of course.” Duan Ling Tian nodded. His eyes were bright as he said, “But that’s based on the assumption that there are three Ten Directions Celestial Dukes in the Profound Heaven Sect and none in the Tai Yi Celestial Sect. However, who can be sure there are no Ten Directions Celestial Dukes silently guarding the Tai Yi Celestial Sect? ”

“I heard the ancestor said that hundreds of thousands of years ago, there was a sect from the General Region that was the strongest sect in the Six Southeastern Regions. At that time, the Young Master of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect accidentally killed one of the descendants of the Ten Directions Celestial Duke of that sect. This caused a great war between the two sects. The Sect Leader of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect at that time was willing to sacrifice his son’s life as compensation to the other sect. After all, the strongest member of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect at that time was only an Eight Trigrams Celestial Duke just like now… Thus, the Sect Leader of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect could only give up his son’s life in order to diffuse the situation. However, although the Sect Leader of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect sacrificed his son’s life, the other sect still refused to let the matter go. The Ten Directions Celestial Duke, whose child died, personally killed all the Celestial Dukes in the Tai Yi Celestial Sect. In fact, he even planned to completely destroy the Tai Yi Celestial Sect. When the Tai Yi Celestial Sect was on the brink of destruction, two Ten Directions Celestial Dukes appeared… The two Ten Directions Celestial Dukes had strength similar to a One Basic Celestial King. They easily killed the other Ten Directions Celestial Duke. After that, those two even went to the other sect and killed all four of the sect’s Ten Directions Celestial Dukes. That sect was subsequently wiped out and disappeared in the long river of history.”
