Chapter 3778 Duan Ling Tian’s Doppelgänger from the Law of Space

Not only was Duan Ling Tian’s talent and comprehension skills far superior to the younger generation in the Linghu clan, but he was also a Revered Elder. Moreover, he was also a divine alchemist who could refine god-grade Limit Divine Pills.

For such a person, even if Linghu Ren Jie, the Clan Leader of the Linghu clan, allowed Duan Ling Tian to spend a few months or even a year in the chamber of laws, the members would not have minded or taken offense. After all, it was only right that an outstanding figure be given special treatment.

However, to spend three years in the chamber of laws and exhausting one-third of the clan’s divine rocks were something the members of the Linghu clan found difficult to accept. The cost was too high, after all. Moreover, currently, Duan Ling Tian was not that outstanding to the extent that he was worth one-third of the Linghu clan’s divine rocks.

Hence, upon hearing Linghu Ren Jie’s words, the expression of the majority of elders in the Linghu clan turned cold immediately.

One of them chuckled before saying mockingly, “So this is how it is. You’re quite smart, huh? You knew we would strip you of your position as soon as we found out about

it.”

“Linghu Ren Jie, you’ve gone too far this time. The clan’s resources can’t be wasted like this.”

“Linghu Ren Jie, we don’t doubt that Revered Elder Duan is very talented in both cultivation and alchemy. However, it’s not necessary for us to dedicate all of our clan’s resources to him, right?”

At this moment, apart from those who had a good relationship with Linghu Ren Jie, the others were glaring at Linghu Ren Jie indignantly. Some of them even reprimanded him.

Linghu Ren Jie looked at everyone calmly. This was all within his expectation. He said solemnly, “Respected elders, my actions are for the sake of the clan. I believe our investment in Revered Elder Duan won’t be in vain. In fact, the returns would be several folds of what we invested in the future.”

Linghu Ren Jie had unswerving trust in Duan Ling Tian, but that was not the case for the others.

The elders only scoffed with disdainful expressions on their faces when they heard his words.

“Linghu Ren Jie, if Duan Ling Tian promised to stay in our clan permanently, perhaps, we could’ve overlooked this. However, he’s already going to join the Flying Dragon Sect.”

“That’s right! Although we’re subordinates of the Flying Dragon Sect, we don’t need to be so excessive in nurturing talent for them. I’m afraid I can’t accept your actions.”

“Indeed, if Duan Ling Tian doesn’t meet with any mishaps, he’ll soar very high. However, even then, how can you be sure he won’t forget your help in the future?”

The elders’ words grew harsher and harsher. Even those who were on Linghu Ren Jie’s side were unable to interject. This was also because Linghu Ren Jie had told them through Voice Transmissions not to interfere. He had said to them, “I’m responsible for this alone. This is a result of my willfulness. There’s no need for any of you to intervene. It’s my fault so just let them vent.”

Linghu Ren Jie had long been prepared for the consequences. He listened to their reprimands calmly without showing any signs of dissatisfaction. Even if they wanted to punish him, he would not complain. Regardless, he did not doubt nor regret his actions. He believed that he had done the right thing. Apart from that, he also believed that Duan Ling Tian would not disappoint him.

Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian was unaware of Linghu Ren Jie’s plight in the Linghu clan. After all, Linghu Ren Jie sounded normal in their Voice Transmissions.

While making his way to the Flying Dragon Sect, he continued working hard to form his doppelganger. Finally, when he was almost at the Flying Dragon Sect, he managed to successfully form his doppelganger from the law of space. The doppelganger also had full use of his law of space.

“I wonder if the doppelganger is able to utilize the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth as well?”

Duan Ling Tian manifested his doppelganger.

In just a moment, another Duan Ling Tian appeared in front of him. He was also dressed in a purple robe.

The duo looked exactly like identical twins. The only difference was the doppelganger’s eyes were lifeless, and his face was expressionless. Only when Duan Ling Tian controlled the doppelganger that his eyes began to flicker with life. As Duan Ling Tian continued to control the doppelganger, the doppelganger was even more like Duan Ling Tian. There were perhaps only slight differences that one would only notice if one was very observant. Only those very familiar with Duan Ling Tian would be able to notice the differences.

“Let’s test it out.”

Duan Ling Tian sat down cross-legged on the ground and closed his eyes.

With just a thought, the doppelganger began to perform a series of actions. In the beginning, the doppelganger was only using Divine Energy and the profundities from the law of space. Following that, the sound of sword whistling rang in the air when he tried to use the Sword Dao through the doppelganger and found that it was a success.

Naturally, in front of the two supreme elders, he only used his rudimentary Sword Dao. Only Linghu Ren Jie knew the true stage of Sword Dao in the entire Profound Energy Land. He had to keep his true abilities under wraps to avoid drawing envy and trouble to himself.

This was the reason Linghu Ren Jie had willingly given up on his position as the Clan Leader of the Linghu clan just to help Duan Ling Tian. In his opinion, Duan Ling Tian had a high possibility of becoming a supreme powerhouse. Hence, he decided to take a risk. Naturally, he knew no one would believe him. Hence, he did not bother to explain himself even if they could not understand his actions. Even when he was reprimanded and was suspected by the others, he simply remained silent and accepted all the harsh words.

At this time, Linghu Huan looked at Duan Ling Tian in amazement as he asked, “Duan Ling Tian, you’ve successfully formed your doppelganger?” “Yes,” Duan Ling Tian’s doppelganger replied and nodded.

As though he just recalled something, Linghu Huan brought a sword that glowed with light and emitted a cold energy. Then, he said, “Duan Ling Tian, I obtained this sword when I was younger. It’s a prominent divine artifact. If you don’t have a prominent divine artifact during the Latent Dragon Grand Contest, you’ll definitely be at a disadvantage. I’ll lend you this sword for now. However, if you rank in the top three, consider the sword yours.”

Linghu Huan smiled before he waved his hand, and the sword flew over to Duan Ling Tian.

After putting away the doppelganger, Duan Ling Tian took the divine sword hovering in front of him and said, “Supreme Elder Huan, so you’re going to give this prominent divine artifact to me?”

“Oh, you’re so confident that’ll you rank in the top three?” Linghu Huan’s eyes brightened as he said, “You should know that many prodigies will be participating in the Latent Dragon Grand Contest, As long as one’s under the age of 10,000 years old and has never been a disciple of the Flying Dragon Sect before, one will be able to participate. There’s no lack of prodigies from lord-rank forces participating in the contest. Moreover, most of these prodigies are advanced Kings of Gods. Their cultivation bases are one stage higher than yours.”

Duan Ling Tian did not say anything in response to those words. He only smiled.

In Linghu Huan’s eyes, however, Duan Ling Tian’s smile was so confident that it was deeply imprinted in his mind.

Four hours later.

“We’ve arrived.”

Linghu Huan flew out with the others and put away the lord-grade flying ship.

Duan Ling Tian hovered in the air and surveyed his surroundings. He could see throngs of people coming from all directions. Some of them flew in groups, and there were some who flew alone. There were so many people that they covered the sky.

“They’re all here to participate in the Latent Dragon Grand Contest?” Duan Ling Tian asked, amazed by the sheer number of people.

It was only natural, after all. Most people would be drawn to emperor-rank forces like the Flying Dragon Sect.

There were already so many people clamoring to join the emperor-rank Flying Dragon Sect that no longer had any Emperors of Gods currently. One could only imagine the number of people clamoring to join those emperor-rank forces with Emperors of Gods.

“That’s the Flying Dragon Sect’s estate.”

Duan Ling Tian looked in the direction Linghu Huan pointed and saw nine majestic mountain ranges. The nine mountain ranges were like dragons. One could see lights glinting off the sunlight on the mountain ranges. These lights were from the Sect Guarding Formation that protected the Flying Dragon Sect’s estate.

‘That should be the Sect Guarding Formation,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself, ‘Although the Linghu clan’s Guarding Formation is the top among the lord-rank forces thanks to the Formation master of the past, it is still far from being comparable to the Sect Guarding Formation of an emperor-rank force.’

“Duan Ling Tian!”

Duan Ling Tian turned around and saw that a familiar figure had appeared at some point. It was an exceptionally burly middle-aged man.

More than 100 figures, many of which were also quite familiar, stood behind the middle-aged man.

These were all inner disciples from the Linghu clan.
