4263 The Supreme Powerhouse of the Ning Clan

Ning Yun Heng was the ancestor of the Ning clan, a prime supreme-rank clan in the Sanction Land. He was a strong supreme powerhouse.

The Divine Sanction Battlefield was the Realm Battlefield formed by the intersection of the Divine Offering Land and the Sanction Land. It was the work of many supreme powerhouses from the two Realms of Gods. Usually, two supreme powerhouses would stand guard on the Divine Sanction Battlefield to prevent other supreme powerhouses from interfering in matters on the Realm Battlefield and destroying the fairness of the Realm Battlefield.

The Realm Battlefield was created as a training ground for the younger generation, in the hopes of producing more powerhouses. The more powerhouses there were, the higher chances of giving birth to supreme powerhouses.

The two supreme powerhouses guarding the Realm Battlefield appeared after Ning Yun Heng, the supreme powerhouse from the Ning clan, appeared and intervened in the matters on the Realm Battlefield.

The duo had clearly seen what Ning Yun Heng had done earlier. He had intervened in a battle between two monstrous prodigies in a single-person secret realm. When one of the monstrous prodigies was about to die, he appeared and brought the party in question away.

When Ning Yun Heng, who was about to bring Ning Yi Xuan away, saw the two hostile supreme powerhouses, he did not get angry. Instead, he said with a sigh, “Sirs, this is the most outstanding descendant in my Ning clan. I really don’t want him to die on the Realm Battlefield. Sirs, you must have heard of him. If there are no accidents, it’s highly likely that he’ll become a supreme powerhouse in the future. The Realm Battlefield originally exists to cultivate prodigies. It’ll be a pity if my descendant dies here, right?”

Although Ning Yun Heng was also a supreme powerhouse, he was very humble at this moment. First, it was because only his projection was here. Conversely, the other supreme powerhouses were here physically. Second, there was no doubt that he was at fault and violated the rules of the Realm Battlefield.

Seeing Ning Yun Heng’s humble attitude, the expressions of the old man, one of the two supreme powerhouses who showed up, eased slightly. Then, he turned to look at Ning Yi Xuan, who was standing next to Ning Yun Heng, and said, “Ning Yi Xuan… I’ve heard of him. He’s truly an extraordinary prodigy. Earlier, when he fought in the single-person secret realm, his abilities were incredible. They’re even better than ordinary intermediate Supreme Gods.”

The young man, the last one to arrive, did not agree or disagree. He only said, “However, compared to his opponent, he’s still lacking. Moreover, the branch of the Divine Tree of Life and his means of escaping earlier were all given by Ning Yun Heng, right?” Then, he turned to look at Ning Yun Heng and asked, “Ning Yun Heng, how do you think your descendant fared compared to his opponent?”

Ning Yun Heng was slightly stunned by these words. He was silent for a moment before he shook his head and said, “My descendant is a lot weaker compared to his opponent.”

The young man said expressionlessly, “So you know your descendant is weaker. That person has a much higher potential of becoming a supreme powerhouse compared to your descendant. Today, you rashly intervened in their fair battle and violated the rules of the Realm Battlefield. What would you think if you were the other person? As long as he’s not stupid, he surely knows that you’re a supreme powerhouse. Saving and bringing your descendant away is no different from bullying him. Although he’ll still be rewarded in that secret realm, do you think this is fair to him?”

After the young man finished speaking, the old man looked at Ning Yun Heng and said, “Ning Yun Heng, you should compensate the other party. Both of us will also call for a meeting between supreme powerhouses to discuss your actions today. You have to bear some responsibilities no matter what. Even if we let you go, this matter will spread out eventually. Rather than being exposed and held accountable later, it’s better to solve this directly and openly. What do you think?”

Seeing the hesitant expression on Ning Yun Heng’s face, the old man continued to say, “There’s another alternative. Send your descendant back to the secret realm, and let them resume the fight. You’re not allowed to intervene this time. This can be counted as compensation to that person, and there’s also no need for us to call for a meeting.”

The young man did not speak after listening to the two choices the old man gave Ning Yun Hen. Clearly, he agreed with the old man’s words.

At this time, Ning Yu Xuan, who had been silent all this time, said, “Ancestor, send me back! I wasn’t aware that you’ll be held accountable for saving me. If I knew better, I would never use the life-saving jade token you gave me!”

Ning Yu Xuan truly regretted his action at this moment. He did not know what would happen during the meeting between the supreme powerhouses, and he did not know what kind of responsibility his ancestor would have to bear, but he knew that it would not be simple. Who knew if this would endanger the life of his ancestor? At that time, if something happened to his ancestor, the Ning clan would be dealt a huge blow. He, Ning Yi Xuan, would also become the biggest sinner in the Ning clan.

Although there were only two members left in Ning Yi Xuan’s faction in the Ning clan, he was still given preferential treatment even if his faction had lost its glory from the past. If the ancestor was harmed because of him, he would not only sin against the clan but his ancestor as well.

As soon as Ning Yu Xuan finished speaking, Ning Yun Heng knocked Ning Yi Xuan out. Then, before he used his Divine Energy to open a spatial tear and leave, he left two metal fragments behind and said, “These are two fragments of a prime divine artifact. This will be my compensation to him. Please call for a meeting. I, Ning Yun Heng, will bear the punishment whatever it may be.”

After Ning Yun Heng left, the old man sighed as he put the two fragments of the prime divine artifact away and said, “That guy really regards his descendant as the hope of the Ning clan.” A bitter expression appeared on his face as he continued to say, “He was seriously injured previously, and it seems like he’s making preparations for the Ning clan. It seems that another old friend of ours will leave the world soon…”

The young man said expressionlessly, “I only hope his descendant doesn’t let him down.”

The old man shook his head. “I don’t think he will. I’ve heard of Ning Yi Xuan before. He truly has great potential. With help, if there’s no accident, Ning Yi Xuan is likely to become an advanced Supreme God within 3,000 years and a supreme powerhouse within 10,000 years…”

Upon hearing this, the young man smiled indifferently. “Become a supreme powerhouse within 10,000 years? It’s not that easy to become a supreme powerhouse. Both of us went through many hardships to become a supreme powerhouse in the past. In any case, I’ll take my leave first. You can deal with the rest of the matter. It’s best if the other person doesn’t harbor any resentment. He has great potential, and he might become an ally of ours in the future.”

Two streaks of light suddenly shot out, and the young man said before he left, “Give him these two fragments of a prime divine artifact as well.”

After the young man left, he looked at the two sword-shaped fragments in his hand and inhaled sharply. “Does he plan to cultivate that person? Is it an investment? He’s so optimistic about that person just because that person comprehended the Sword Dao to such a degree despite only becoming a rudimentary Supreme God recently? I really don’t understand swordsmen…”

Before the old man left, he could be heard muttering to himself, “Should I also give him one or two fragments of a prime divine artifact as an investment?”

…

In the single-person secret realm.

Duan Ling Tian was still looking around in confusion when colorful beams of light shone down on him from the clouds like a meteor shower, bringing with them a few items. When he regained his senses, he exclaimed, “So many rewards?!”

In fact, Duan Ling Tian would have preferred it if there was only one reward. Multiple rewards meant that the value of the rewards was divided as well. As such, he was slightly depressed. Not only did a supreme powerhouse intervene in his fight, but he also received seven rewards.

“Did that supreme powerhouse do this as well? Is it because I almost killed his descendant?”

By now, Duan Ling Tian had already guessed that some supreme powerhouse, who was either from the Ning clan or a friend of the Ning clan’s supreme powerhouse, had rescued that arrogant Ning Yi Xuan. He could not help but feel angry when he thought about how the supreme powerhouse broke the rules of the Realm Battlefield, rescued his opponents, and even possibly tampered with his rewards. Alas, he knew he could only endure this injustice. After all, a supreme powerhouse could easily kill him without even lifting a finger.

Needless to say, despite his anger, Duan Ling Tian still collected the rewards. Even if their value had been divided, the rewards would still benefit him.

However, soon after, Duan Ling Tian was stunned. Excluding a fist-sized turquoise bottle with a cork, which looked ordinary, he was stunned by the six familiar-looking rewards.

“These… These are fragments of a prime divine artifact?!”

Not much time had passed since Duan Ling Tian obtained his first fragment of a prime divine artifact. So when he saw the six seemingly ordinary metal fragments, he recognized them immediately.

“Why am I given such extraordinary rewards in this single-person secret realm? This should be impossible…”

For a moment, Duan Ling Tian thought that he was dreaming. Fragments of prime divine artifacts were supposed to be incredibly rare. How could he have been rewarded with six in one go? Including the one that the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword had absorbed, he had seven fragments of prime divine artifacts! In other words, he only needed two more fragments of prime divine artifacts before his Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword would begin its transformation into a prime divine artifact!
