Chapter 2471 Su Li’s Potential

“It wasn’t intentional. I believe Senior Sword Thirteen would understand and wouldn’t blame you,” Duan Ling Tian said in an attempt to comfort Su Li. He could feel Su Li’s remorse, sorrow, and loss.

Su Li sighed emotionally. “Regardless, I still feel bad…”

“What’s done is done. There’s no point dwelling on it. I believe if Senior Sword Thirteen is looking down on you from heaven, he would want to see you live well,” Duan Ling Tian said reassuringly.

“Alright,” Su Li nodded before he said, “Duan Ling Tian, it’s thanks to your wife that I was able to obtain the inheritance from a Great Overarching Golden Celestial. I need to thank you because I know she helped me because of you. Thank you.”

“I heard about that. Is there a need for us to be so polite with each other?” Duan Ling Tian said with a laugh, “There’s no doubt that Ke’er helped you, but you’re also fated with it. Out of so many people, it chose you.”

Su Li replied, “The Great Overarching Golden Celestial who left the inheritance here is a Sword Celestial. That’s probably why the inheritance chose me since I was the only Sword Cultivator present at that time.” He paused for a moment before he asked, “I heard Elder Xuan said you just arrived not too long ago. Why did you come so late? If you came earlier, I wouldn’t be able to obtain the inheritance. After all, you’re also a Sword Cultivator. I’m certain it would have chosen you if you were there.”

“Perhaps, it’s fate.” Duan Ling Tian chuckled. “In hindsight, it’s not a bad thing that I didn’t obtain the inheritance from a Great Overarching Golden Celestial. After all, I already have a master. If I obtain the inheritance from a Great Overarching Golden Celestial, it would complicate things. I can’t possibly turn away from my master just because I obtain the inheritance.” Duan Ling Tian who had inherited the Sovereign Heart Sword had long acknowledged Feng Qing Yang as his master. He would not acknowledge another master apart from Feng Qing Yang.

Su Li laughed. “You’re still the same as before… You’re still incredibly carefree and open-minded.”

“Carefree and open-minded?” Duan Ling Tian shook his head before he said, “You don’t know this, but I was quite upset and unresigned when I discovered the inheritance from a Great Overarching Golden Celestial had been obtained. Only after I found out that you’re the one who obtained the inheritance that I was able to let those feelings go. How can I be upset that my friend managed to obtain the inheritance from a Great Overarching Golden Celestial?”

Su Li laughed and said teasingly, “It seems like I thought too highly of you?”

From then on, their conversation became more light-hearted.

“Duan Ling Tian, I met your daughter before I entered the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone. Time really flies, you already have a child,” Su Li said with a sigh. A hint of admiration could be seen in his eyes.

“Oh? You met Si Ling?” Duan Ling Tian’s eyes brightened. He laughed as he said, “Not only do I have a daughter, I have a son as well.”

“I know your daughter’s name is Duan Si Ling, but what’s your son’s name?” Su Li asked curiously.

“Duan Nian Tian,” Duan Ling Tian replied. Speaking about this, he missed his son even more. Not only did he miss his son, but he missed his other wife, Li Fei, as well. He missed his parents and good friends as well. Since his family and friends had vanished in the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land, he had never been able to see them. He thought to himself, ‘After I leave this place and return to the Saint Province Realm, I’ll look for my parents, Little Fei’er, and the others before going to Yan Huang Realm.’

“Nian Tian?” Su Li laughed. “If I’m not mistaken, you didn’t name my niece and nephew, right?”

“How do you know that?” Duan Ling Tian was slightly surprised. Indeed, he did not name his son and daughter.

“Their names contain profound meanings. They’re probably named by their mothers, right?” Su Li smiled.

“Yes.” Duan Ling Tian nodded. A sincere and happy smile appeared on his face. To a certain extent, the names of his two children represented the love of his two wives toward him.

After they chatted for a while, Su Li finally bade farewell to Duan Ling Tian. “Duan Ling Tian, if nothing changes, I’ll be in Yan Huang Realm for the next 100 years. We might be able to meet again if you visit Yan Huang Realm. If you don’t, I’m afraid we’ll only be able to meet after we ascend to a Devata Realm.”

A rather forced smile appeared on Su Li’s face at this moment. There were 81 Devata Realms, and each Devata Realm was extremely vast. Trying to find someone would be akin to looking for a needle in a haystack. Even after they ascended to a Devata Realm, he was not entirely sure he would be able to see Duan Ling Tian again. Their chances of meeting might be higher if they both achieved fame and glory in a Devata Realm. However, there were so many outstanding geniuses in the Devata Realms, it would be difficult to achieve fame and glory there.

“Don’t worry, I’ll definitely visit,” Duan Ling Tian said with a smile, “I don’t think I have much time in the mundane realm. Before I ascend, I’ll definitely visit Yan Huang Realm!”

Su Li nodded. “Good! I’ll wait for you!”

Duan Ling Tian seemed to be reminded by something as he said, “Su Li… How much did your strength increase after you obtained the inheritance from a Great Overarching Golden Celestial?” He had been very curious about this. From the moment he saw Su Li, he could feel the changes in Su Li. Moreover, he could clearly sense Su Li’s soul seemed to be stronger than his, and it gave him the feeling of danger. In the mundane realms, only Three Tribulation Bodiless Celestials or those who were stronger had souls stronger than him after all. Apart from that, only Bodiless Celestials who had cultivated the Soul Congregation Embodiment technique would be able to make him feel a sense of danger.

Su Li replied honestly, “My current strength is roughly on par with a Six Tribulation Bodiless Celestial. I’m not a Bodiless Celestial, but I can be considered as a Celestial. With just a thought, I can go to the Devata Realms.”

Su Li’s condition was quite similar to Little Black, Little White, and Little Gold. After receiving inheritances from the Devata Realms, they managed to bypass the rules in the mundane realms. They could ascend to Devata Realms without going through the Celestial Ascension Tribulation.

Duan Ling Tian’s eyes brightened. It seemed like he had guessed correctly.

“However, although my strength is comparable to a Six Tribulation Bodiless Celestial, I haven’t mastered any Divine Abilities or Celestial Techniques from the Devata Realms. If I can master them, my strength shouldn’t be weaker than a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial,” Su Li said confidently.

“Without mastering any Divine Ability and Celestial Technique from the Devata Realms, your strength is comparable to a Six Tribulation Bodiless Celestial?” Duan Ling Tian was shocked by Su Li’s words. He had assumed some of Su Li’s strength came from Divine Abilities and Celestial Techniques from the Devata Realms. He did not expect that Su Li had not mastered any Divine Abilities and Celestial Techniques from the Devata Realms. He could not help but exclaim, “The Yellow Thearch Mansion has indeed obtained a treasure!”

After all, once Su Li mastered Divine Abilities and Celestial Techniques from the Devata Realms, he would possess strength comparable to a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial. Moreover, Su Li was not limited by the rules in the mundane realms and he was able to stay in mundane realms as long as he wanted to.

In comparison, Bodiless Celestials had to face the Bodiless Celestial Tribulation every 1,000 years. If the Bodiless Celestial failed the tribulation, he would die. If he passed all nine tribulations, he would have to ascend to a Devata Realm and would not be able to stay for long in the mundane realms. This did not apply to Su Li. For this reason, Duan Ling Tian said the Yellow Thearch Mansion had gained a treasure.

Su Li said solemnly, “I only promised to guard the Yellow Thearch Mansion for 100 years. After that, if I can’t return to the Saint Province Realm, I’ll ascend to a Devata Realm from Yan Huang Realm.”

“Hm.” Duan Ling Tian nodded.

“Duan Ling Tian, I have to go now… Let’s meet again in the Yan Huang Realm after a few years!” Su Li finally left. Since Xuan Yuan Zhi and Ren Yuan Jie from the Yellow Thearch Mansion were still waiting for him, it would not be polite for him to keep them waiting for too long. Although Xuan Yuan Zhi had said he could take his time, he did not feel it was right to keep them waiting. Moreover, he had almost finished catching up with Duan Ling Tian.

“Alright, I’ll see you again in Yan Huang Realm.” A gentle smile appeared on Duan Ling Tian’s face as he looked at his friend whom he had known since he was a teenager. His smile was like a gentle spring breeze.

When Su Li regrouped with the two people from Yellow Thearch Mansion, Xuan Yuan Zhi looked at Duan Ling Tian and said loudly, “Little brother Ling Tian, I’ll wait for you in Yan Huang Realm! I have some good wine in my private collection. At that time, let’s drink and enjoy ourselves!”

Duan Ling Tian laughed before he replied, “Don’t worry, old brother. I’ll definitely visit Yan Huang Realm!”

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The sounds of wind howling rang in the air before the three people vanished into thin air.
