Chapter 2824: The Southern Heaven Territory

‘I’m still miles away from becoming a Celestial Emperor or a Celestial Lord, let alone defeat the Title Temple… I’m just a measly profound-rank Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial!’ Duan Ling Tian knew he had easily broken through and became a profound-rank Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial due to him being very close to the profound-rank Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial when he broke through and became a yellow-rank Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial last time. With the help of Huan’er’s Divine Crystal, the King Grade cultivation method, the Taiyi Profound Method, his 99 Heavenly Veins, and Overarching Heaven Pills, he would be truly useless if he did not have a breakthrough.

‘I had a breakthrough in such a short time is mainly because my cultivation base was very close to that of a profound-rank Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial after my stint in the Little World. Without the help of Huan’er Divine Crystal, Taiyi Profound Method, and my 99 Heavenly Veins, it wouldn’t be possible for me to become a profound-rank Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial in just over a year.’

Duan Ling Tian also knew very well that if Huan’er’s aunt did not help him to become a yellow-rank Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial, he would not have been able to break through and become a profound-rank Overarching Heaven Supreme Celestial in such a short time.

“Master Yang.” Duan Ling Tian looked at Yang Chong with a gleam in his eyes as he changed the subject. “If I’m not mistaken, there must be differences in strength between the Six Southeastern Regions, right? For example, the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect from the General Region is stronger than the Three Major Sects of the Wasteland…”

“Yes.” Yang Chong nodded. “There’s indeed a difference in strength among the Six Southeastern Regions… The Wasteland is one of the weakest regions among the Six Southeastern Regions. The Barren Land, our destination this time, is also one of the weakest among the Six Southeastern Regions. There are also three Celestial Sects in the Barren Land that are equal in strength with the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland. The strongest among the Six Southeastern Regions are the General Region and the Cross Region, followed by the Light Region and the Shadow Region… The Wasteland and the Barren Land are the weakest.”

“The General Region, and the Cross Region…” Duan Ling Tian’s eyes brightened as he asked, “Master Yang… Which region is the Blissful Sect from?”

“The Blissful Sect is in the Cross Region,” Yang Chong replied. A thought appeared in his mind, and he continued to say, “The Blissful Sect and Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect are old enemies. They fought each other intensely in the early years, but their conflict has eased up in recent years… However, even now, the members of the two sects are hostile to each other when they meet.”

Duan Ling Tian nodded. Previously, when he had spoken to Murong Bing, he had learned that the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect and the Blissful Sect had a strained relationship. Otherwise, the Celestial King from the Blissful Sect would not have taken the World Cleansing Horsetail Whisk, one of the three Celestial Weapons of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect, and hid it in the Little World.

If Murong Bing did not go into the Little World to search for the World Cleansing Horsetail Whisk, Duan Ling Tian would not have met her. If he could go back in time, he would not have entered the Little World. It was not that he disliked Murong Bing. However, he had no intention of cheating on his wives. Moreover, he was fully focused on saving his wives, family, and friends from the Divine Offering Land. Alas, there was no way for him to turn back time. He could only take responsibility for his actions. Murong Bing was his woman now. He had told her that she could only be his woman since they had sex. Although these words were overbearing, they clearly expressed his basic instinct of claiming the woman he had slept with.

Yang Chong said, “The Blissful Sect and the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect are equal in strength. However, there’s a sect that’s even more powerful than the Blissful Sect in the Cross Region. It’s so strong that the Blissful Sect would only be a match for it if it joined forces with another two sects in the Cross Region. There are four sects that are considered to be the strongest in the Cross Region while there are five sects that are considered to be the strongest in the General Region… The Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect is one of the five powerful forces in the General Region. In any case, the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect and Blissful Sect can only be regarded as sects of the second echelon in the General Region and the Cross Region.” He explained the situation of the Blissful Sect, the Compassionate Celestial Traveler, the General Region, and the Cross Region to Duan Ling Tian.

Yang Chong continued to say, “In the General Region and the Cross Region, only one sect in the Cross Region stands above all the sects…”

“What’s the name of that sect?” Duan Ling Tian asked curiously.

“It’s the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect!” Yang Chong said slowly and clearly. Then, he added, “The Profound Heaven Celestial Sect is also the most powerful sect in the Six Southeastern Regions!”

Duan Ling Tian’s eyes flashed as he asked again, “Since the Profound Heaven Celestial is the strongest in the Six Southeastern Regions, the sect must have more than one Ten Directions Celestial Duke, right?” Based on what he knew, there was only one Ten Directions Celestial Duke in the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect. Since the Blissful Sect’s strength was similar to the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect, it stood to reason that the sect had one Ten Directions Celestial Duke as well. If the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect was the strongest sect in the Six Southeastern Regions, it was only natural that they had more than one Ten Directions Celestial Dukes in the sect.

“Of course!” Yang Chong nodded. “In the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect, there are three Ten Directions Celestial Duke… Two out of the Ten Directions Celestial Duke are twin brothers. When they join forces, they’re invincible to those weaker than Celestial Kings in the Southern Heaven Territory!”

“They’re invincible to those weaker than Celestial Kings in the Southern Heaven Territory? Where’s the Southern Heaven Territory?” Duan Ling Tian was curious. It was his first time hearing about the Southern Heaven Territory after all.

“I don’t know much about the Southern Heaven Territory,” Yang Chong said, “I only know the Six Southeastern Regions are located in the Southern Heaven Territory… Master Situ, please explain to Master Duan. You’re the oldest and most knowledgeable among the three of us!” Then, Yang Chong turned to look at Situ Ming.

“What do you mean by the oldest? Master Yang, mind your words.” Situ Ming looked at Yang Chong irritably before he looked at Duan Ling Tian. “Master Duan, the Six Southeastern Regions, as well as the Nine Southern Regions, the Five Southwestern Regions, and the Seven Western Regions, are located on the edge of the Southern Heaven Territory. We’re located at the border and the most remote place in the Southern Heaven Territory. The Southern Heaven Territory is controlled by a titled Celestial Lord… Southern Heaven is the title of that Celestial Lord. The central area of the Southern Heaven Territory covers a vast area. It’s far bigger than the combined area of the borderlands, including our Six Southeastern Region… There are countless powerhouses in the central area of the Southern Heaven Territory, and there’s a barrier between them and the borderland where we are at. Because of that barrier Formation, the people born in the borderlands, including our Six Southeastern Regions, must go to the central area of the Southern Heaven Territory after becoming a Celestial King. Otherwise, one’s cultivation base would start to regress. After a long time, one would regress and become a Celestial Duke. If that happens, it would be much more difficult to have a breakthrough. After a Celestial King passes through the barrier Formation into the center of the Southern Heaven Territory, it would be difficult to return to the other side. After all, the barrier is set up by the titled Celestial Lord. Not even ordinary Celestial Dukes are able to break the barrier Formation. This is part of the reason why there are no Celestial Kings in the borderland, including our Six Southeastern Regions. It’s not that there are no Celestial Kings here, it’s just that most of them have left for the center of the Southern Heaven Territory.”

With this, Duan Ling Tian understood that Southern Heaven Territory was divided into the central area and the borderlands where the Six Southeastern Regions were located.

Situ Ming continued to say, “And once the Celestial Kings leave the borderlands and enter the central area, there’s almost no way for them to return. To return, one has to be a Celestial Lord at least. In fact, even an ordinary Celestial Lord might not be able to break the barrier Formation.”

“I see.” Duan Ling Tian nodded. He no longer asked any question for the time being. After all, all the information he had just learned was a lot for him to take in. He learned that the Wasteland in the Six Southeastern Regions was also in the Southern Heaven Territory that was controlled by a titled Celestial Lord. In addition, the Southern Heaven Territory was divided into the borderlands and the central area. He also learned about how powerful titled Celestial Lords are. Ordinary Celestial Dukes could not compare to them at all.
