Chapter 4672 Duan Ling Tian, a Level-Nine Dao Establishment Powerhouse
Since Feng Qing Yang had been to the Endless Sword Domain before, he continued to lead the way. With his familiarity and Duan Ling Tian’s strength, they entered the Endless Sword Domain smoothly.
The danger in the Endless Sword Domain was in fact the residual power left behind after the battle between two Dao Establishment powerhouses who had succeeded in merging the Daos. The residual power lingered here and had yet to dissipate. Needless to say, it would eventually dissipate completely. The Endless Sword Domain would weaken according to the residual and would eventually disappear when the residual power completely dissipated.
Duan Ling Tian and Feng Qing Yang continued to travel deeper and deeper into the Endless Sword Domain. They worked together to deal with the challenges they faced. Thanks to the force of the Sword Dao in this place, both of them gained a lot of insight into the Sword Dao. They continued to further the comprehension of their Sword Dao, forging their own unique paths to advance.
Feng Qing Yang had just broken through to the eighth stage of the Sword Dao not long ago so he still had ways to go before reaching the ninth stage.
On the other hand, Duan Ling Tian had long entered the eighth stage of the Sword Dao. The Void Elder’s memory of the ninth stage of the Sword Dao could not help him break through the ninth stage of the Sword Dao, but he was already very close to the ninth stage. As they explored the Endless Sword Domain, his Sword Dao continued to improve, and now, he was just a step away from entering the ninth stage.
Duan Ling Tian glanced at his master as he thought to himself, ‘I think I’ll be able to break through to the ninth stage of the Sword Dao here…”
At this moment, countless semi-translucent energy swords were flying around Feng Qing Yang at varying speeds. Each of the swords contained the essence of the sword.
Duan Ling Tian observed Feng Qing Yang carefully. After coming to the Divine Land, they had not have an in-depth conversation about the Sword Dao. Before coming to this new world, Feng Qing Yang’s Sword Dao was only at the seventh stage, and when they met again in this new world, Feng Qing Yang’s Sword Dao was already at the eighth stage. During the time they traveled to the Distinct Province and the Endless Sword Domain, they barely discussed the Sword Dao and only spoke about it superficially.
While Duan Ling Tian observed Feng Qing Yang, he could feel his own Sword Dao improving as well, inspired by Feng Qing Yang. At some point, he stopped observing Feng Qing Yang as he gradually immersed himself in comprehending the Sword Dao. After some time, he unexpectedly broke through the bottleneck.
This process only felt like a moment, but in reality, a significant amount of time had passed.
Feng Qing Yang completed his comprehension and woke up first. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Duan Ling Tian in a state of enlightenment. As he protected Duan Ling Tian, he wondered curiously, ‘I wonder how much progress Little Tian will make after he awakens from the state of enlightenment…’
Duan Ling Tian continued to immerse himself in comprehending the Sword Dao. Initially, he felt as though he had returned to the time when he was still in the Saint Province Realm, a mundane realm in the God Defying World. At that time, he received the teachings of his master, Feng Qing Yang. It was also at that moment that the gears of fate turned, setting him on the path of Sword Dao.
Later on, he continued to comprehend the Sword Dao and forged his unique Spatial Sword Dao using his law of space.
He continued to grow stronger and stronger, obtained the Void Elder’s memories, and experienced many things along the way.
Duan Ling Tian felt as though he was reliving his life; the experience was extremely vivid. It was only when he re-lived his life to the current point in the Endless Sword Domain that he was suddenly enlightened. It was at this moment that he broke through the bottleneck and entered the ninth stage of the Sword Dao.
As soon as he entered the ninth stage of the Sword Dao, he felt the energy within him surging and changing dramatically. With this, he became a level-nine Dao Establishment powerhouse.
Although there were no changes in his physical appearance, his gaze became even more profound than before. His aura changed completely as well.
All these subtle changes did not escape Feng Qing Yang’s eyes. When he sensed Duan Ling Tian’s aura, he finally realized what had happened. He exclaimed in shock, “Little Tian, you’ve broken through?!”
Feng Qing Yang did not expect his disciple to break into the ninth stage of the Sword Dao so soon after entering the Endless Sword Domain. Not only did his disciple’s Sword Dao improve, but his disciple’s cultivation had improved as well.
With Duan Ling Tian’s latest progress, he was now invincible in the Surging River Divine Kingdom where they had just left.
“I was just lucky,” Duan Ling Tian replied. His gaze was no longer as piercing as it was earlier when he looked at his master. After reliving his life, his gratitude toward his master had deepened. Without his master’s Sword Dao and his master’s guidance, it was not a stretch to say that he would not be able to come this far. There was no doubt that his master was his benefactor.
Feng Qing Yang also knew this would be advantageous to him. As Duan Ling Tian continued to grow more famous in the Divine Land, his wife, Xue Qing Zhu, would eventually hear about it. At that time, she would surely go to the Duan Residence in the Surging River Divine Kingdom’s Distinct Province. With that, he would be able to reunite with his wife.
At this time, Duan Ling Tian suddenly asked, “Master, after leaving the Endless Sword Domain, I plan to explore other places in the Divine Land. Will you come with me?”
Duan Ling Tian’s main goal now was to make a name for himself in the Divine Land so that he could reunite with his family and friends. At the same time, he also wanted to grow stronger and enter the Dao Merging realm. When he was strong enough, he wanted to try and obtain the Life Creation Chart to see if the Myriad Worlds and the Outer Boundary still existed. If they no longer existed, he wanted to see if he could rebuild it. After all, that world was his home.
If he was successful in rebuilding the old world, he had to ensure the Life Creation Chart remained in his possession at all times. After all, if someone obtained the Life Creation Chart, it was likely that all the beings in the world of the Life Creation Chart would become ‘nourishment’ for the new owner of the Life Creation Chart.
Duan Ling Tian was also curious about the strength of the top powerhouses in the Divine Land. The ninth Dao Establishment realm was the end of the Dao Establishment realm, but it was not the end of the cultivation journey. After the Dao Establishment realm, there was the Dao Merging realm. Needless to say, even the strongest Dao Establishment powerhouse was no match for an ordinary Dao Merging powerhouse; the former was just like an insignificant ant in front of the latter.
Feng Qing Yang replied honestly, “Let’s travel separately. It won’t be beneficial for me to travel with you.”
