Chapter 4667 Shoot to Fame

Apart from the stronger cultivators who had guessed the outcome after watching Duan Ling Tian and Hong Dong Chuan’s initial exchange, Hong Dong Chuan’s defeat shocked everyone.

As for Hong Dong Chuan, although he had anticipated the possibility of defeat, he did not expect to be defeated so decisively and from his perspective, miserably. He had assumed that even if Duan Ling Tian won, it would be a narrow win. After all, apart from comprehending the Sword Dao to the eighth stage, he assumed that Duan Ling Tian only comprehended another Dao to the seventh stage. He did not expect that Duan Ling Tian also comprehended a third Dao to the sixth stage. He was thoroughly shocked by this. He was naturally unaware that Duan Ling Tian had comprehended the Limitless Dao to the seventh stage and that Duan Ling Tian had limited the strength of his Limitless Dao to the sixth stage, which was still enough to overpower him.

Hong Dong Chuan said with a sigh, “I’d underestimated you, Brother Ling Tian. You’ve been keeping your true strength a secret…”

Duan Ling Tian nodded slightly in response. After briefly exchanging pleasantries with Hong Dong Chuan, Hong Dong Chuan introduced the two level-seven Dao Establishment powerhouses from the royal family to him.

Initially, Hong Dong Chuan planned to invite Duan Ling Tian and Feng Qing Yang to the Hong clan after the fight, but the powerhouses from the royal family sent him a Voice Transmission, asking him to introduce them to Duan Ling Tian.

The powerhouses from the royal family were also shocked by Duan Ling Tian’s strength, and they could not wait to report back to the royal family. If they could invite Duan Ling Tian back to the royal family as an honored guest, the royal family would undoubtedly benefit from it greatly.

“Lord Duan Ling Tian…”

The two powerhouses from the royal family were very humble and polite. Needless to say, this was not their typical behavior, not even to those who were slightly superior to them. After all, in their eyes, Duan Ling Tian was more than just an ordinary level-eight Dao Establishment powerhouse.

Duan Ling Tian exchanged greetings with the two powerhouses, reciprocating their courtesy. After that, he, his two wives, Feng Qing Yang, Zhao An Yi, and the Ascending Clouds Sage followed Hong Dong Chuan to the Hong Residence.

The Ascending Clouds Sage knew that without Duan Ling Tian, someone like him would never be able to enter the Hong Residence.

During their journey to the Hong Residence, Hong Dong Chuan learned that the Ascending Clouds Sage had helped Duan Ling Tian greatly in the past. As such, he praised the Ascending Clouds Sage for having a discerning eye for talent.

The Ascending Clouds Sage naturally felt flattered. His usually stern expression was nowhere to be seen, replaced by an excited expression after he was praised. He looked very different from when he was with the members of the Misty Cloud Sect.

…

While Duan Ling Tian and the others made their way to the Hong Residence to stay for a few days, news about the outcome of the fight spread like wildfire. It did not take long before it spread to the capital and the cities nearby. For a while, everyone was fervently discussing the battle at the Towering Heaven Peak.

“I didn’t go because my cultivation is too low. After all, I might not be able to see much even if I had gone to take a look. Not only that, but there was also a risk of getting injured by the shockwaves. I have to say that I’m really surprised by the outcome. I didn’t expect that the Distinct Province’s Duan Ling Tian, the God Defying Sword, would win!”

“What? Senior Hong Dong Chuan lost?! Who is Duan Ling Tian? How terrifying is his strength that he even managed to defeat the Crushing Prison Saber?”

“After this, the name of Duan Ling Tian, the God Defying Sword, will definitely spread throughout the Surging River Divine Kingdom and beyond!”

“I heard he challenged Hong Dong Chuan just to gain fame. It was said that he came from the world created by the Life Creation Chart. He wanted to reunite with his family members and friends so he hopes that they’ll look for him once they hear about him…”

“They’re from the world created by the Life Creation Chart? I heard that the people in that world were just a power source raised by the owner of the Life Creation Chart, right? When the time is ripe, he would sacrifice the lives there to improve his Sacrificial Dao!”

“I didn’t expect there to be someone so powerful in the world created by the Life Creation Chart…”

The Hong clan had spread the word of Duan Ling Tian’s purpose after obtaining Duan Ling Tian’s permission to do so. With this, even if Duan Ling Tian’s family and friends were not nearby, they would eventually hear about him.

The Hong clan was naturally very enthusiastic about helping Duan Ling Tian. After all, their relationship with Duan Ling Tian would only grow stronger if they successfully helped Duan Ling Tian to reunite with his family and friends.

Now that Duan Ling Tian had defeated Hong Dong Chuan, a level-eight Dao Establishment powerhouse from the Hong clan, Duan Ling Tian was no longer just moderately famous for being the strongest person in the Distinct Province. Now, he was among the strongest people in the Surging River Divine Kingdom, and it would not take long before his name would be known in every corner of the nation, which was exactly what he had hoped for.

…

After spending a few days in the Hong Residence, Duan Ling Tian and the others returned to the Distinct Province. He planned to accompany his two wives back to the Duan Residence before leaving for the Endless Sword Domain with Feng Qing Yang. He did not plan to bring his two wives with him this time because it would be quite inconvenient. After all, according to Feng Qing Yang, there were areas he did not dare to venture into even with his current strength. After hearing that he might be able to gain more insight into the Sword Dao there, he was naturally very eager to go there.

Although Duan Ling Tian possessed the Void Elder’s memories and comprehended the Sword Dao to the ninth stage with the Void Elder’s memories, he had his own path of Sword Dao. As such, it was not as straightforward as when he comprehended the Mastery Dao and the Limitless Dao. When comprehending the Sword Dao to the ninth stage, he also needed to use his own knowledge.

At this time, Duan Ling Tian had reached a bottleneck. After comprehending the Sword Dao to the ninth stage, the Void Elder’s memories regarding the Sword Dao were no longer of much help. He would need to rely on himself or fortuitous encounters to progress further.

According to Feng Qing Yang, the Endless Sword Domain was a sacred land for sword cultivators in the Divine Land. Naturally, Duan Ling Tian was eager to go there. After his battle with Hong Dong Chuan, his objective had already been achieved. As long as his family and friends were not in extremely remote places, they would eventually hear about him. At that time, they would definitely look for him in the Surging River Divine Kingdom.

At this moment, the Ascending Clouds Sage said, “My Lord, the Distinct Province is up ahead…”

Instead of flying, Duan Ling Tian and the others rode on a giant divine crane that belonged to the Ascending Clouds Sage. The divine crane had begun to comprehend the Dao so its speed was incredibly fast.

Duan Ling Tian, Ke’er, and Huan’er did not react much to the Ascending Clouds Sage’s words, but Feng Qing Yang wore a wry smile on his face. He said, “Little Tian, I won’t follow you. I don’t want to meet my wife’s second sister. Spend time with your family. When you’re ready to leave, contact me. I’ll go to the Misty Clouds Sect.”

Duan Ling Tian was stunned while the Ascending Clouds Sage was overjoyed.

“Senior Feng, the Misty Cloud Sect welcomes you with open arms!”

The Ascending Clouds Sage did not expect that someone like Feng Qing Yang would visit the Misty Cloud Sect. This was undoubtedly a good thing for the sect. If news about this spread, people would think that Duan Ling Tian and Feng Qing Yang had a close relationship with the Misty Cloud Sect after all.
