A Supreme Dao Powerhouse?!
Even now, Duan Ling Tian was still perplexed, grappling to understand what had just happened. It was too sudden, and he was caught off guard. Nonetheless, even if he had yet to figure out the situation, he knew that it was serious.
Now that he had been sent to this place, whether he could leave and return to the Myriad Worlds or the Outer Boundary or not, he knew he had to learn as much as he could about this place.
‘Huh?’
All of a sudden, Duan Ling Tian sensed a familiar energy surging from Ke’er’s body. It was the energy of a supreme powerhouse. He asked, surprised, “Ke’er, you’ve broken through?”
Ke’er seemed distracted as she sensed the changes in her body. She murmured, “It seems like I’ve broken through, but it’s different from what Huan’er described.”
Huan’er was the first among Duan Ling Tian’s wives to enter the realm of supreme powerhouses. She was also the first to become an advanced Supreme God among them.
“Earlier, the energy of advanced Supreme Gods was surging in my body. After it circulated in my body a few times, I broke through. It just happened suddenly and very naturally. I didn’t even feel the pull from the realm of supreme powerhouses,” Ke’er said, describing her experience. After a moment, she seemed to have recalled something and said, “By the way, during the breakthrough, I seemed to have glimpsed flashes of the Sword Dao in my mind…”
Among Duan Ling Tian’s wives, Ke’er was the first to master the Sword Dao. She had comprehended it to the first stage.
Swoosh!
Suddenly, another wave of energy surged. This time, it came from Huan’er, who was standing nearby.
“Huan’er, you broke through as well?” Duan Ling Tian was shocked.
Compared to Ke’er, Huan’er’s breakthrough was more profound since she had already entered the realm of supreme powerhouses.
“Brother Tian, I have a feeling it has something to do with this place. When I arrived, I could feel that my Sword Dao that was at the third stage was improving. After that, I broke through and became a level-three supreme powerhouse…”
Upon hearing these words, Duan Ling Tian quickly turned to look at Li Fei and Feng Tian Wu. After confirming that they did not show any unusual signs, he turned to look at his parents. Similar to Li Fei and Feng Tian Wu, his parents also did not display any unusual signs. It seemed like coming to this place did not affect their cultivation at all.
“It seems like this place and the Sword Dao, or the Four Daos of Heaven, are intricately linked,” Duan Ling Tian said as his eyes flashed, “Laws don’t exist in this world. We can sense them or use them at all. Apart from our cultivation base and our internal energy, the only thing we can use here is the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth.”
After that, he said, “For now, let’s find a suitable place to settle down first. Perhaps we might run into other people. We can also familiarize ourselves with this place…”
…
Duan Ling Tian and his family traveled for a few days before they spotted a group of people. They seemed to be in a hurry.
“Excuse me…”
Duan Ling Tian approached the group of people, hoping to learn more about this place.
The expressions of the group of people changed when they saw him. Even after confirming that he did not have any ill intentions, they only walked past him and hurried away.
Before Duan Ling Tian could react, another group of people appeared. Clearly, they had been tailing the first group of people before this. In just a moment, the two groups began to fight
Duan Ling Tian frowned, but he did not intend to intervene. They were in a new place. Before he had more information, it was best not to get into any conflict.
The two groups of people were only average in strength. Without the laws, even the most powerful one was only comparable to an intermediate Supreme God. Apart from that, it seemed like none of them had comprehended the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth. All in all, most of them were weaker than intermediate Supreme Gods, possibly even weaker than rudimentary Supreme Gods.
Duan Ling Tian returned to his family and continued on their journey. At the same time, he said, “There must be human settlements nearby, considering those people’s presence in this place…”
…
As expected, after three days, Duan Ling Tian and his family arrived near a small city nestled next to a mountain range. Although it was small, it was bustling with activities. People could be seen coming in and out of the city at this moment.
As Duan Ling Tian and his family drew closer, Ke’er, Li Fei, and Li Rou attracted the attention of the people in the surroundings due to their beauty. Huan’er wore her veil as usual so she did not attract any attention. However, their attention was fleeting. After all, there were many beauties in this place.
There were many women here who cultivated techniques that allowed them to alter their appearances. As such, they could make themselves look very beautiful. However, these techniques naturally could not change their souls.
Speaking of souls, Duan Ling Tian had noticed soon after he arrived that one’s soul energy would surge out on its own. It could be sensed from afar, easily revealing one’s presence and identity.
Apart from that, based on the few people he encountered, he found that the language spoken here was similar to that in the Myriad Worlds and the Outer Boundary.
If it were not for the absence of the laws and involuntary overflow of soul energy, he would have easily mistaken this place for the Myriad Worlds and the Outer Boundary.
After entering the city, Duan Ling Tian discovered that the people over here also used divine crystals and divine rocks to trade. He sighed in relief. After all, he was in possession of a huge number of divine rocks and divine crystals. Alas, the relief did not last long. Soon after that, he discovered that his spatial ring was gone. He speculated that the spatial ring had been destroyed.
Duan Ling Tian lamented the loss of his spatial ring. In the end, he had no choice but to ask Li Fei for her necklace that was made from divine crystals. He planned to exchange them for divine rocks so he could buy daily necessities.
Li Fei’s necklace was not made from ordinary divine crystals. They were very big. Divine crystals of that size were very rare. Duan Ling Tian had given her the divine crystals because he was aware of her fondness for shiny things, and she strung them into a necklace. Since she wore it on her neck instead of keeping it in her spatial ring, it was, fortunately, not lost.
Now that everyone’s spatial rings were gone. Not only were they penniless, but they were also without weapons.
After wandering the street for a while, Duan Ling Tian saw a shop called Precious Treasure Pavilion. It was several stories tall and decorated opulently. Curious, he approached the shopkeeper and asked how many divine rocks he could exchange with his divine crystal. He was aware of the usual conversation rate, but his divine crystal was no ordinary crystal after all.
“A divine crystal of this size?”
Swoosh!
To prevent the shopkeeper from cheating him, he deliberately displayed his Sword Dao that was at the eighth stage. The invisible sword energy surged around for a moment before it disappeared.
The shopkeeper’s expression turned into one of shock as he exclaimed, “A supreme Dao powerhouse?!”
