War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Chapter 4673  Before He Travels Again

After Duan Ling Tian and Feng Qing Yang made a decision, they were not in a hurry to put it into action. They continued exploring the Endless Sword Domain.

At this time, apart from Duan Ling Tian whose Sword Dao had reached the ninth stage and had become a level-nine Dao Establishment powerhouse, Feng Qing Yang's strength had also grown significantly.

Duan Ling Tian was now second only to the Dao Merging powerhouse in the Surging Divine Kingdom's royal family. However, that was only if the Dao Merging powerhouse truly existed. After all, the existence of the Dao Merging powerhouse was only based on rumors and speculations. No one had ever seen the powerhouse before.

As for the other powerhouse in the Surging River Divine Kingdom's royal family, it was likely that he had comprehended one Dao to the ninth stage and another to the seventh stage. He might not necessarily be a match for Duan Ling Tian now. After all, Duan Ling Tian had not only comprehended the Sword Dao to the ninth stage, but he had also comprehended the Limitless Dao and the Mastery Dao to the seventh stage. His comprehension of the Daos was extraordinary thanks to the memory of the Void Elder, whose comprehension of the Daos was very high in his prime.

The Void Elder had comprehended the Sword Dao to the ninth stage and also comprehended the Mastery Dao and the Limitless Dao to the eighth stage. Since Duan Ling Tian had forged his own path in the Sword Dao, he naturally could not follow the Void Elder's Sword Dao completely. On the contrary, he could follow the Void Elder's Limitless Dao and Mastery Dao. For this reason, he would be able to easily comprehend the Limitless Dao and the Mastery Dao to the eighth stage. The reason he had yet to break through was due to him focusing on his Sword Dao. Previously, he would only comprehend the Limitless Dao and the Mastery Dao when he encountered a bottleneck while comprehending the Sword Dao.

Now that Duan Ling Tian's Sword Dao had reached the ninth stage and was on the cusp of entering the Dao Merging realm, he could focus solely on comprehending the Limitless Dao and the Mastery Dao. When the two Daos reached the ninth stage, he would then be able to merge them into a unique Dao of his own. After successfully merging a Dao of his own, he would enter the Dao Merging realm.

Although Duan Ling Tian's Sword Dao had reached the ninth stage, it did not mean that the Endless Sword Domain was no longer of use to him. He could still further improve his Sword Dao here, laying a better foundation before he entered the Dao Merging realm.

…

In just a blink of an eye, several years had passed since Duan Ling Tian and Feng Qing Yang entered the Endless Sword Domain. It had been two years since Duan Ling Tian's Sword Dao had reached the ninth stage. During this time, both of them had naturally grown stronger.

At this time, the duo had explored almost every corner of the Endless Sword Domain and had gained almost everything they could from the place. With this, the Endless Sword Domain was no longer of any use to them.

After leaving the Endless Sword Domain, Feng Qing Yang bade farewell to Duan Ling Tian and left.

As for Duan Ling Tian, he had no plans to travel very far now. He intended to return to the Distinct Province in the Surging River City to spend some time with his family and friends first. He was curious if any of his other family members and friends had returned during the years he was away.

…

'Lei Hong?'

When Duan Ling Tian returned to the Distinct Province, he learned from Zhao An Yi that after he left the Distinct Province a few years ago, Lei Hong had tried to attack the Duan Residence. Fortunately, Yu Xiao intervened in time. Otherwise, his family and friends might have died.

Duan Ling Tian's eyes shone with killing intent after he listened to Zhao An Yi. He did not expect Lei Hong to survive and that Lei Hong had also come to the Divine Land. After all, he thought that Lei Hong had died in the Heaven Traversing Pagoda.

Duan Ling Tian was unaware that Lei Hong did not enter the Heaven Traversing Pagoda because of him. If he was aware of this, he would have regretted not covering his tracks more effectively. If he had been more discreet, Lei Hong would not have discovered the fact that he and the people around him did not enter the Heaven Traversing Pagoda.

After spending time with his family, Duan Ling Tian gathered his family, Zhao An Yi, Yu Xiao, and the Ascending Clouds Sage to discuss the ninth stage of the Sword Dao. After reaching the ninth stage of the Sword Dao, he had a profound understanding of it. Many of his questions regarding the Sword Dao had been answered.

After listening to Duan Ling Tian, the Ascending Clouds Sage, whose Sword Dao was approaching the seventh stage, was shocked. "My lord, your Sword Dao

"Yes, my Sword Dao has reached the ninth stage."

Apart from the Ascending Clouds Sage, Zhao An Yi, Yu Xiao, and the others were also shocked. The only people who were not shocked were his wives. He had already told them about his breakthrough earlier.

"Father, you're now a level-nine Dao Establishment powerhouse?" Duan Si Ling asked. Her eyes shone with admiration as she looked at Duan Ling Tian. She had always idolized her father. Even in the Divine Land, her father was still so powerful. As his daughter, she was naturally excited.

"That's right," Duan Ling Tian responded with a nod.

After listening to Duan Ling Tian, everyone improved significantly. Among them, Ke'er and Huan'er made the most significant progress; their Sword Dao broke through to the next stage. There was also the Ascending Cloud Sage whose Sword Dao entered the seventh stage after he listened to Duan Ling Tian.

"Thank you, my lord!"

The Ascending Clouds Sage was so excited that his face turned red. He prostrated himself in front of Duan Ling Tian as though he was worshipping a god.

Duan Ling Tian smiled as he helped the Ascending Clouds Sage to his feet and said, "Now that you've broken through, I hope you'll help me protect the Duan Residence when I'm away."

The Ascending Clouds Sage said reassuringly, still unable to tamp down his excitement, "Rest assured, my lord! If there's nothing for me to deal with, I'll stay in the Duan Residence and protect it!"

The Ascending Clouds Sage was genuinely overjoyed. Based on his talent, it was incredibly difficult for him to enter the seventh stage of the Sword Dao. It was so difficult that he had previously resigned himself to the fact that it was impossible for him to achieve such a feat. Unexpectedly, he met a benefactor like Duan Ling Tian who helped him comprehend the Sword Dao to the seventh stage. Now that he was a level-seven Dao Establishment powerhouse, his lifespan had also increased. It was only natural that he felt indebted to Duan Ling Tian.

…

'I'll stay a little longer…'

Due to Lei Hong's previous visit, Duan Ling Tian was not in a rush to leave. Instead, he came up with a plan. He pretended to bring the Ascending Clouds Sage and Yu Xiao away and left Zhao An Yi behind. He wanted to see if Lei Hong would take the bait and come to the Duan Residence.

Alas, Lei Hong did not take the bait.

However, Duan Ling Tian did not leave immediately. He decided to leave only when his Limitless Dao and Mastery Dao reached the eighth stage just like those of the Void Elder. After that, he would continue to travel and make a name for himself while he continued to cultivate.

Duan Ling Tian was interested in the places outside of the Surging River Divine Kingdom. After all, those places would be his next destinations.
