4592 The Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion’s Duan Clan
In the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion.
“Palace Master.”
Duan Ling Tian met Xiao Tian Ci, the Palace Master of the Golden Dragon Palace. He smiled and greeted Xiao Tian Ci before greeting Ke Yi, who was standing behind Xiao Tian Ci. Ke Yi was Xiao Tian Ci’s direct disciple.
“Ke Yi, long time no see!” Duan Ling Tian said with a smile and a nod.
When Duan Ling Tian first arrived at the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion, Ke Yi had received him and took good care of him.
Ke Yi was much more reserved now. After all, Duan Ling Tian was no longer the advanced Supreme God he used to know. Duan Ling Tian was now even stronger than his master, whom he looked up to. He followed his master’s example and bowed respectfully as he said, “Greetings, Lord Duan.”
“Palace Master, you and Ke Yi are both old acquaintances of mine. There’s no need to be so courteous with me,” Duan Ling Tian said as he shook his head. Then, without beating around the bush, he asked, “Palace Master, is there anything you desire? If you want to be the leader of the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion, I’ll speak to Old Meng about it. I’m sure he won’t refuse.”
Xiao Tian Ci smiled with a hint of helplessness upon hearing these words. He said, “I don’t have any intentions of becoming the leader of the mansion. Please don’t say anything to Elder Meng. Otherwise, he’ll take your words seriously.”
Xiao Tian Ci was aware that Meng Han was able to obtain the Heaven Protection Talisman and successfully overcame the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation thanks to Duan Ling Tian. After Meng Han returned to the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion, he had summoned all the high-ranking officials and declared that Duan Ling Tian was an esteemed ally of the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion. They were to treat Duan Ling Tian with the same respect as they would treat him. If Duan Ling Tian requested help from them, they would spare no effort in helping him even if they had to sacrifice everything.
Initially, Xiao Tian Ci did not understand Meng Han’s actions. He only found out later that thanks to Duan Ling Tian, Meng Han was able to enter the Heaven Traversing Pagoda first. As a result, not only was the difficulty of the tests reduced by 30%, but he was even rewarded with an additional Heaven Protection Talisman, which contributed greatly to his success in overcoming the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation and becoming a level-seven supreme powerhouse.
Without Duan Ling Tian’s help, Meng Han would have undoubtedly been killed by his upcoming once-in-10,000-year Heavenly Tribulation. Without the rewards, he would not have successfully overcome the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation and become a level-seven supreme powerhouse.
Meng Han was an important existence to the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion. For this reason, not only Meng Han, but even the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion felt indebted to Duan Ling Tian.
This was also the reason why Xiao Tian Ci knew that Meng Han would immediately make him the leader of the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion if Duan Ling Tian mentioned the matter to Meng Han.
Xiao Tian Ci had no interest in becoming the leader of the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion. He became motivated after the appearance of the Heaven Traversing Pagoda. In the past, he thought that Saints were the limit. With his talent, it was only a matter of time before he became a Saint. As such, he did not have any sense of anticipation at all in the past. On the contrary, he was filled with anticipation now. He could not wait to become a Saint. After becoming a Saint, he was going to enter the Heaven Traversing Pagoda to obtain the Heaven Protection Talisman. After that, he would strive hard to become a level-seven supreme powerhouse.
Duan Ling Tian did not say more seeing that Xiao Tian Ci had no interest in becoming the
Leader of the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion. He only said, “Alright, if you need my help in the future, you can look for me in the God Defying World.”
“Thank you, Lord Duan,” Xiao Tian Ci said respectfully.
Duan Ling Tian did not bother to correct Xiao Tian Ci this time. He knew that it would be difficult for Xiao Tian Ci to treat him casually like before due to the difference in their strength.
Ke Yi was even more polite. In the past, he would talk and laugh casually with Duan Ling Tian. However, even with Xiao Tian Ci present, he could not help but feel awkward.
Duan Ling Tian politely declined Xiao Tian Ci’s invitation to stay in the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion before he left for the God Defying World. He could tell Ke’er was going to wake up soon and planned to wait for her. He could not help but feel excited when he thought about her.
…
Unbeknownst to Duan Ling Tian, shortly after he returned to the God Defying World, something significant happened.
The Duan clan, a demi-saint-rank clan in the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion, received a visitor. It was none other than a Saint from the Azure Cloud Saint Sect. Most importantly, the Saint invited the clan to move to the Azure Cloud Saint Sect’s territory.
The Duan clan was naturally excited. At the same time, they could not help but think about the danger the clan faced after the death of the clan’s demi Saint, Duan You Wei. At that time, many demi-saint-rank forces had their eyes on the clan.
Fortunately, two months ago, a demi Saint from the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion drove the other demi-saint-rank forces away, declaring that the Duan clan was under his protection. The demi Saint was none other than Xiao Tian Ci, the Palace Master of the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion’s Golden Dragon Palace.
It was then that they found out that Duan Ling Tian, who was Duan You Wei’s sworn brother, was the level-seven supreme powerhouse mentioned in the heavenly text.
In the main hall of the Duan clan.
“Lord Guo Lin’s offer is indeed very generous… I don’t think we should decline the offer,” the Grand Elder of the Duan clan said excitedly. He was clearly in favor of moving to the Azure Cloud Saint Sect’s territory.
On the contrary, the Clan Leader of the Duan clan remained silent and sent a message to Xiao Tian Ci to inform him about the Azure Cloud Saint Sect’s invitation.
Previously, when Xiao Tian Ci came to help the Duan clan, he had left his Soul Pearl behind.
…
“What? The Guo Lin, the Saint from the Azure Cloud Saint Sect, personally visited the Duan clan to invite the clan to move?”
Xiao Tian Ci was stunned when he received the message. Then, he recalled Duan Ling Tian seemed to have some relationship with Zhao An Yi, the Saint of the Azure Cloud Saint Sect.
After considering the status of the Duan clan in Duan Ling Tian’s heart, Xiao Tian Ci decided against going to the Duan clan. After all, he was just a demi Saint. Instead, he quickly looked for Meng Han.
“What? The Azure Cloud Saint Sect came to our territory to poach the Duan clan that Brother Duan treasures?”
After learning about what happened from Xiao Tian Ci, Meng Han wasted no time and told Xiao Tian Ci to lead him to the Duan clan.
