Chapter 2575 Stood Out in The Crowd

After listening to Feng Qing’s explanation, everyone who had just ascended, including Duan Ling Tian, finally understood what had happened.

‘Oh, so that’s what happened,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself

As it turned out, all these things were due to the disturbance in the Colossal World. Duan Ling Tian had heard about the Colossal World from Elder Huo, the pagoda spirit of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda. He knew the Colossal World was the collective name for all Devata Realms, mundane realms, and other realms.

After everyone who had ascended learned about the reason they had ascended to the Spirit Overarching Heaven instead of the Devata Realms closest to their mundane realms, they, naturally, began to discuss this among themselves.

“As it turns out, it’s caused by a disturbance in the Colossal World.”

“I didn’t think we’d be so ‘lucky’ as to encounter the disturbance in the Colossal World during our ascension. The chances of that happening are one in ten.”

“To think the disturbance only started about a year ago in the Colossal World. If I had ascended before then, I wouldn’t have ascended to the Spirit Overarching Heaven that I’m not familiar with at all!”

“I thought I’d be able to join my sect after I ascended to the Devata Realm. I didn’t expect to ascend to another Devata Realm instead.”

“This is heavens’ will. We can only obey it!”

“Indeed, it’s heavens’ will. We’re fated to be here. Although it’s quite disorienting to be suddenly brought here, there’s nothing we can do but take one step at a time. With time and hard work, it’s possible to go to the Devata Realms we wanted to ascend to in the future.”

“That’s easier said than done. Didn’t you hear Wang Wei say it’s difficult for us to leave the Spirit Overarching Heaven to another Devata Realm?”

“Yeah, that’s what he told the brocade-clad young man.”

Although some of the newly-ascended people in the Celestial Ascension Pool managed to remain optimistic, there were more people who were pessimistic and felt disappointed.

“Quiet!” All of a sudden an overpowering voice drowned out the conversations.

It was none other than the young man who wore silver armor, Wang Wei. He looked at them indifferently before he continued to say in a low voice, “I’m Wang Wei. I’m the receptionist for those who have just ascended to our Spirit Overarching Heaven and have just become a Heavenly Celestial. Now, all of you, leave the Celestial Ascension Pool immediately and come with me to the register at the camp!”

Receptionist? Camp? Register?

Everyone, including Duan Ling Tian, was startled by Wang Wei’s words. They did not expect that after ascending to a Devata Realm, someone would take them to a camp for registration.

All of them enjoyed special treatment in their respective mundane realms and were used to a carefree life. However, Wang Wei just told them they had to register at a camp. An ominous feeling rose in their hearts instantly when they heard his words.

A middle-aged looked worried as he asked tentatively, “L-lord Wang Wei, what do you mean by registering at the camp?”

Wang Wei did not deign to reply to the middle-aged man’s question, he only looked at him coldly. Then, he looked at everyone in the pool who had just become Heavenly Celestials, including Duan Ling Tian, and snapped impatiently, “Cut the crap! I’ll give each of you three breaths! Whoever hasn’t left the Celestial Ascension Pool at that time will have the same outcome as this fellow!” He pointed at the pale brocade-clad young man who had just risen to his feet.

The brocade-clad young man no longer dared to act recklessly before Wang Wei. Naturally, he hated Wang Wei to the bones. However, now that he learned that he was in an unfamiliar Devata Realm, he knew he could not act as he pleased. For this reason, he silently hid his resentment in the depth of his heart, planning to seek revenge after he had gotten stronger than Wang Wei.

When the newly-ascended people around Duan Ling Tian heard Wang Wei’s words, they instinctively turned to look at the brocade-clad young man. Their expressions changed immediately.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

In just a breath, everyone around Duan Ling Tian who had just become Heavenly Celestials left the Celestial Ascension Pool. All of them quietly stood next to Wang Wei like docile cats.

At this moment, Duan Ling Tian was the only Heavenly Celestial left in the Celestial Ascension Pool. Naturally, he stood out like a sore thumb. There were a few unconscious figures around him, it was clear that these people had just arrived in the Spirit Overarching Heaven and was still going through the process of becoming a Heavenly Celestial.

Duan Ling Tian did not leave the pool because he still remembered Xia Jie’s words to him. Xia Jie was Ke’er’s third uncle. Xia Jie had told him to immerse himself longer in the Celestial Ascension Pool to strengthen the 99 Saint Veins in his body.

A few of those who had left the Celestial Ascension Pool and was standing obediently next to Wang Wei exclaimed in surprise when they saw Duan Ling Tian, “There’s someone who hasn’t left the pool?” An expression of shock and disbelief could be seen on their faces. They did not expect that there was someone who dared to defy Wang Wei’s order after witnessing what had happened to the brocade-clad young man. Was this person not afraid that Wang Wei would destroy his arm and stomp on him on the ground? After all, they had all seen what happened to the brocade-clad young man.

One of the first people who discovered Duan Ling Tian was still in the Celestial Ascension Pool said, “Perhaps, he has lost his mind.”

Upon hearing this, everyone, including Wang Wei, turned to look at Duan Ling Tian who was still immersing himself in the Celestial Ascension Pool.

Duan Ling Tian, naturally, stood out in the crowd since he was the only Heavenly Celestial in the pool. The people around him had just ascended and had yet to become a Heavenly Celestial.

Wang Wei did not expect someone would dare to defy his orders, and his expression darkened immediately. “Little brat, you have less than a breath left before you have to come out. If you’re not out by then, I’ll cripple your arm and leg. Then, I’ll stomp you into the ground and disfigure your handsome face with my shoe!” The more Wang Wei looked at Duan Ling Tian, he became jealous over Duan Ling Tian’s handsome face that could charm thousands of girls. After all, Wang Wei’s appearance was extremely average. Although Celestials could manipulate and change their appearance, it could be easily seen through by other Celestials. At that time, they would become the butt of everyone’s joke. Therefore, many Celestials maintained their original appearances.

“Hmm?” Initially, Duan Ling Tian had planned to speak to Wang Wei politely and explained that he could not leave the Celestial Ascension Pool for the time being. However, his expression darkened when he heard Wang Wei’s words. He looked at Wang Wei coldly and said in a low voice, “If it weren’t because I can’t return to the Celestial Ascension Pool once I leave, I’d leave the pool now and see how you’re going to cripple my arm and leg before stomping me into the ground to disfigure my face!”

Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words, not only was Wang Wei startled, but the other young man in silver armor, Feng Qing, was startled as well. They appraised the purple-clad young man in the Celestial Ascension Pool.

Feng Qing wondered why the newcomer was still so arrogant after seeing Wang Wei’s display of strength? Was he not afraid of death? This Celestial Ascension Pool was only exclusive to Eminent Celestials who had just ascended to the Spirit Overarching Heaven. As for Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestials, they had their own Celestial Ascension Pool at another place to rebuild their body and become a Golden Celestial. Therefore, he was certain this purple-clad young man was merely a Heavenly Celestial and not a Golden Celestial.

The group of newcomers was also shocked by Duan Ling Tian’s words. They only regained their senses after a while. Naturally, all of them began to discuss furtively among themselves.

One of the newcomers looked at Duan Ling Tian as though he was a ghost and said, “I-is he crazy?”

“It’s fine if he didn’t witness Lord Wang Wei’s strength. However, how can he still act like that after seeing Lord Wang Wei’s strength? Does he have a death wish?”

“We’ve had a live example earlier. How can he still act so recklessly? He’s just looking for trouble!”

“Does he think he’s still in a mundane realm?”

Many of the newcomers shook their heads. They thought Duan Ling Tian was only asking for trouble!

When Wang Wei finally regained his senses, he glared at Duan Ling Tian with flames of anger burning in his eyes. “Little brat, three breaths have passed! I’ll wait for you to come out, I don’t believe you’ll be able to stay in the Celestial Ascension Pool forever!” Then, he turned to Feng Qing who was next to him and said, “Feng Qing, let’s exchange our tasks. Please help me bring these newcomers to register at the camp, and I’ll do it for the next batch of newcomers. With this, you don’t have to wait here and can return to cultivating.”

Wang Wei and Feng Qing were the receptionists of the Celestial Ascension Pool. Wang Wei was responsible for taking Duan Ling Tian and the group of newcomers to the camp while Feng Qing was responsible for the next batch. However, since Wang Wei wanted to wait for Duan Ling Tian, he willingly discarded his chance to return and cultivate.
