4642 A Millennium Passed in Just a Blink of an Eye
Time flew by, and in just a blink of an eye, over a millennium had passed.
Needless to say, Duan Ling Tian’s strength had also improved. He used to be a level-seven supreme powerhouse, but he was now a level-eight supreme powerhouse. This progress was not surprising since he had already comprehended the Sword Dao to the eighth stage.
For a level-six supreme powerhouse to become a level-seven supreme powerhouse, one must comprehend a law to the paramount stage and one Dao of Heaven and Earth to the seventh level, which would bring about the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation. After successfully overcoming the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation, one would become a level-seven supreme powerhouse.
In comparison, it was much more straightforward to progress from the seventh level to the eighth level since one did not have to face and overcome the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation. One would be able to proceed to the next level as long as one’s Dao of Heaven and Earth broke through to the next stage.
At present, only two people were aware of Duan Ling Tian’s breakthrough: Feng Ying Qang, and Xue Qing Zhu, Feng Qing Yang’s wife.
Three centuries ago, Feng Qing Yang and Xue Qing Zhu from the Outer Boundary finally became a couple. Although Duan Ling Tian contributed as well, the main reason they got together was due to their similar temperaments. After spending time together, they naturally got together.
As for Duan Ling Tian’s bet with Xue Qing Zhu in the past, he had to cancel it. After all, the new entrance to the Heaven Traversing Pagoda was not in the Solitary Destructive Heaven but the Jade Emperor Heaven. The bet was made before the new changes to the Heaven Traversing Pagoda were introduced. No one knew after all that there would be such a shocking change, which also attracted level-seven supreme powerhouses.
After Xue Qing Zhu learned about the new changes to the Heaven Traversing Pagoda, she still intended to honor her promise. Even if she wanted to enter the pagoda, keeping her promise was much more important to her. However, Duan Ling Tian, under Feng Qing Yang’s threatening gaze, disagreed and nullified the bet.
Later on, Feng Qing Yang and Xue Qing Zhu spent a lot of time together and finally became a couple. Duan Ling Tian was naturally happy for his master for finding a life partner.
Apart from that, over the past thousand years, thanks to the changes of the Heaven Traversing Pagoda, the strength of the supreme powerhouses in the Myriad Worlds and the Outer Boundary improved greatly as well.
During that time, dozens survived the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation and became level-seven supreme powerhouses as well. As time passed, many people grew tired of seeing the heavenly text.
…
In a secluded courtyard in the Xia clan in the Divine Offering Land.
Duan Ling Tian picked up a cup of tea and took a sip before he asked with a smile, “Master, did your wife enter the Heaven Traversing Pagoda again?”
Feng Qing Yang nodded. “Yes. She said her Sword Dao’s on the brink of a breakthrough. If she’s successful, her Sword Dao will surpass mine.”
A hint of helplessness could be seen in Feng Qing Yang’s eyes, and his expression was complicated. In fact, he had reached the threshold of the eighth stage of the Sword Dao hundreds of years ago, but he was unable to break through the bottleneck. As such, his cultivation had stagnated as well.
“Master, it’s not so easy to reach the eighth stage,” Duan Ling Tian said as he shook his head, “If I didn’t have the Void Elder’s memory, I wouldn’t even be able to touch the threshold of the eighth stage of the Sword Dao now.”
Duan Ling Tian was aware of his own limit. If it were not for the Void Elder’s memory, it would have been impossible for him to surpass his master’s Sword Dao even if he surpassed his master in other aspects. His master was a real genius of the Sword Dao.
Feng Qing Yang said with a smile, “In any case, I hope she’s able to break through. Perhaps if I look at both of your Sword Dao, I’ll be able to break through the bottleneck.”
Then, Feng Qing Yang looked around and asked, “Where are your wives and children? Are they not back yet?”
Feng Qing Yang had not seen Duan Ling Tian’s wives and children for a very long time.
Duan Ling Tian’s wives naturally were not as reckless. They knew he would worry about them so they would not sneak off to the Outer Boundary without telling him in advance. His son and daughter, on the contrary, were rather rebellious and left without any worries.
However, Duan Ling Tian knew how difficult his journey was and how many life-threatening situations he had faced in the past. He had no one to rely on and had to fend for himself. As their father, since he was capable, he naturally did not want his children to suffer the way he did.
“It’s normal for children to want independence when they grow up,” Feng Qing Yang said with a smile.
‘Hmm?’
Duan Ling Tian was just about to respond when he suddenly received a message from Xiao Mu Bai.
Seeing the change in Duan Ling Tian’s expression, Feng Qing Yang asked, “What’s wrong?”
Duan Ling Tian put down the teacup in his hand. He frowned slightly as he said, “I just received a message from Lord Xiao. Three new level-seven supreme powerhouses from the Primordial World went to the misty places there to test the strength of the creatures there… In the end, all of them died.”
Feng Qing Yang inhaled sharply upon hearing this. He asked, stunned, “None of them survived?”
