Chapter 342: Foreign Lands
Translator: KurazyTolanzuraytor Editor: Jay
All this happened within the blink of an eye.
Everyone, including Duan Ling Tian, never imagined that Liu Shi Ge who was a first level Nascent Soul Stage inner court disciple would suddenly make a move against Duan Ling Tian, who was an eighth level Origin Core Stage inner court disciple that had just entered the inner court. Not only that, but that he would use a surprise attack to heavily injure Duan Ling Tian!
He Dong reacted to the sudden turn of event and his face went grim, then his figure flashed to Duan Ling Tian’s side as he asked with deep concern. "Duan Ling Tian, are you alright?"
"I’m fine." Duan Ling Tian withdrew a grade seven Gold Injury Pill and consumed it, then he circulated his Origin Energy to dissolve the medicinal strength of the pill and his injuries recovered slightly. He stood up with great difficulty, but his face was still white as a sheet.
Duan Ling Tian took a deep breath and his gaze descended onto Liu Shi Ge, and within his gaze was awe-inspiring rage mixed within.
"What, angry?" Liu Shi Ge started laughing as he walked to stand before Duan Ling Tian with large strides, and his gaze went cold. "You’re just a kid who’s just entered the inner court, but you actually arrogantly disregarded the question of me, this Senior Brother of the inner court… Today, I’ll make sure to teach you a good lesson! So as to avoid you from relying on your natural talent and thinking that everyone should run circles around you."
"Liu Shi Ge, right?" Duan Ling Tian glanced deeply at Liu Shi Ge, and the corners of his mouth curled into a cold and indifferent smile, and coupled with the blood on his mouth, his smile seemed incomparably evil.
"Exactly, I’m Liu Shi Ge! Kid, I know your natural talent is good, but since you’ve entered the inner court, then you had better be well-behaved before me, this inner court Senior Brother, in the future… Do you understand?" Liu Shi Ge had a face full of arrogance.
Suddenly, Liu Shi Ge swung out his hand, once again attacking Duan Ling Tian.
200 ancient mammoth silhouettes once again condensed into form above Liu Shi Ge…
Whoosh!
This time, Duan Ling Tian who was prepared swung the grade seven spirit sword in his hand to flash out like lightning.
Sword Drawing Arts!
Quake Energy!
He desired to obstruct Liu She Ge’s palm strike that raged with Origin Energy.
"Negligible attack!" In the next moment, Liu Shi Ge’s disdainful voice sounded out within Duan Ling Tian’s ears, and the grade seven spirit sword in his hand shook before transmitting the shock to his palm.
The palm strike of Liu Shi Ge that contained the strength of 200 ancient mammoths completely disregarded Duan Ling Tian’s Quake Energy as it struck away his grade seven spirit sword before once again imprinting itself onto Duan Ling Tian’s chest.
Bang!
The terrifying strength drained out from the fist and poured into Duan Ling Tian’s body.
At the same time that Duan Ling Tian was blasted flying once again, extremely intense pain once again descended, and it caused Duan Ling Tian’s consciousness to become fuzzy…
Right before he fainted, Duan Ling Tian heard two voices sound our by his ear.
"Duan Ling Tian!" One of the voices was the voice of He Dong.
"Stay your hand!" The other voice seemed familiar, but Duan Ling Tian wasn’t able to recall it for some time.
In the next moment, Duan Ling Tian completely lost consciousness.
When Duan Ling Tian regained his consciousness and opened his eyes, he noticed that he was laying on a soft bed.
"Ah… So painful!" In next to no time, Duan Ling Tian felt the intense pain that came from his chest.
Duan Ling Tian viewed himself internally and noticed that the injuries of his internal organs had already completely recovered, and his chest bones that were cracked open were already almost healed…
"A grade seven Gold Injury Pill doesn’t have this level of medicinal strength!" Duan Ling Tian’s heart jerked, as he who possessed the lifetime worth of memories of the Rebirth Martial Emperor understood the grade seven Gold Injury Pill extremely well.
Based on his injuries, even if he consumed a grade seven Gold Injury Pill, it would be impossible to recover to this extent without a few months’ worth of time.
Duan Ling Tian naturally wouldn’t think that he’d been laying here for a few months.
"It’s a grade six Great Recovery Pill!" In next to no time, Duan Ling Tian noticed a trace of medicinal strength that remained within his body, and it was the medicinal strength that belonged to a grade six Great Recovery Pill.
"What is this place?" After recovering from his shock, Duan Ling Tian sized up this clean and tidy room. There wasn’t many decorations or furniture in the room, yet all the furniture that could be found within it was practical.
Suddenly, seeming to have noticed something, Duan Ling Tian’s eyes squinted. "Spirit Point… This place is a Spirit Point?"
Duan Ling Tian noticed the rhythmic movement of the Origin Energy within his body, and the feeling this place gave him was exactly similar to the feeling he had at Mizar Hall and Megrez Hall that day…
Mizar Hall and Megrez Hall were both situated atop the Spirit Point on the main peak of the Seven Star Sword Sect, Dubhe Peak, and the cultivation environment there was superb.
"Liu Shi Ge." Duan Ling Tian’s eyes emitted a frightful cold light when he recalled the scene from before he fainted, and killing intent arose within his heart.
Liu Shi Ge relied on the fact that he was a first level Nascent Soul Stage martial artist to attack Duan Ling Tian twice, and the viciousness of his attacks caused chills to run down one’s spine.
"I’ll return it to you double." Traces of coldness arose within Duan Ling Tian’s heart as he established this awe-inspiring vow.
"What the heck is this place?" Duan Ling Tian suppressed the rage within his heart and got off the bed, then he opened the room door.
"You’re awake?" At that moment, a familiar voice sounded out from nearby.
Duan Ling Tian glanced over and saw a large pavilion on the right, at the end of the pathway outside the room, and a middle aged man was standing there with his back towards Duan Ling Tian.
Although he didn’t turn around, he still seemed to be able to notice Duan Ling Tian’s movement.
Duan Ling Tian left the room and walked up the pavilion before greeting the middle aged man who had his back towards Duan Ling Tian, "Peak Master!"
"I heard from Song that you were injured by a first level Nascent Soul Stage inner court disciple, you have a grudge with him?" The middle aged man turned around to reveal his face.
It was precisely the Peak Master of Mizar Peak, Zheng Fan.
Therefore, the place Duan Ling Tian was at now was precisely Mizar hall, the place where one of the nine great Spirit Points on the Seven Star Sword Sect’s Dubhe Peak was located.
"So it’s Senior Brother Zheng Song that saved me." Duan Ling Tian thought inwardly.
He finally recalled it, and he understood why the other voice he heard before he fainted was slightly familiar…
So it turned out that the owner of that voice was the son of Mizar Peak’s Peak Master, Zheng Song!
"I didn’t have any grudges with him, and I only have some conflicts with the other inner court disciple that was by his side… However, after today, the enmity between me and him is deep." As Duan Ling Tian finished speaking, traces of cold lights flashed within his eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled into a ghastly sneer.
He would return what Liu Shi Ge gave him twofold!
After he calmed down his mood, Duan Ling Tian looked at Zheng Fan and asked. "Peak Master, you gave me a grade six Great Recovery Pill?"
Zheng Fan nodded. "I saw that your injuries weren’t light, if you only consumed a grade seven Gold Injury Pill, then even if it was able to heal you, it would probably take a few months… So, I gave you a grade six Great Recovery Pill to allow your injuries to recover in a short amount of time."
Duan Ling Tian had a serious expression as he said, "I, Duan Ling Tian, will remember this kindness of Peak Master in my heart."
"What is a grade six Great Recovery Pill compared to the great favor you gave me?" Zheng Fan shook his head and smiled, then he sat down at the nearby table and fiddled with the tea set. "You’ve been knocked out for a few hours and have only just awoken. I presume your spirit is tired… Accompany me and drink a few cups of Cloudrise Tea to recover your spirit as soon as possible."
"Thank you, Peak Master." Duan Ling Tian sat down and looked at the sky. The burning sun was currently hung high in the sky, currently at high noon.
Zheng Fan poured a cup of Cloudrise Tea for Duan Ling Tian, then asked with a slight smile, "Duan Ling Tian, what do you plan to do in the future?"
Duan Ling Tian took a sip of the Cloudrise Tea, and his spirit was refreshed before slowly saying, "I temporarily don’t have a specific plan… But, in the future, I should be going to the ‘Foreign Lands’ to have a look."
"Foreign Lands?" Zheng Fan shuddered when he heard Duan Ling Tian, and the teacup in his hand nearly fell down.
Zheng Fan shook his head and sighed with emotion. "Duan Ling Tian, I truly never imagined that your aspirations would be so great… The Foreign Lands are something that even I have not thought about for now. Supposedly, many Void Transformation Stage existences are present at the central area of the Foreign Lands!" As he finished speaking, Zheng Fan had a slight lingering fear in his heart.
Experts were numerous like the clouds in the Foreign Lands, and it also meant that death was at every corner…
Without a certain level of strength, he completely didn’t dare to wander about in the Foreign Lands.
"Peak Master, sometimes, placing your target slightly further will perhaps allow you to go even further on the path of the Martial Dao… Otherwise, if you only realize you’re like a frog living at the bottom of a well during your old age and when time has slipped away, wouldn’t it be too late?" Duan Ling Tian shook his head and smiled, as he made nothing of what Zheng Fan said.
In the eyes of others, the Foreign Lands might be a dreadful monster.
But in the eyes of Duan Ling Tian who’d merged with the memories of the Rebirth Martial Emperor, it was only an even vaster world…
In the Foreign Lands, Void Prying Stage martial artists could be seen everywhere, and Void Initiation Stage martial artists were extremely numerous!
"Placing my target slightly further will perhaps allow me to go even further on the path of the Martial Dao?"
"A frog living at the bottom of a well?"
Zheng Fan went silent after hearing what Duan Ling Tian said.
Zheng Fan only recovered from his state of pondering after a long time, then looked at Duan Ling Tian and sighed with emotion. "Duan Ling Tian, I’ve still underestimated you… No wonder you’re able to possess such accomplishments at such a young age! Your Martial Will and heart of the strong is something that causes even I, the Peak Master of Mizar Peak, to feel ashamed from my inferiority."
"I’m slightly looking forward to it now… What sort of heights will you attain in another 10 years? What I can be sure of is at that time, you will surely have a strength that surpassed me!" The way Zheng Fan spoke showed how extremely highly he looked upon Duan Ling Tian.
"Peak Master, you’re too kind." Duan Ling Tian lightly smiled, but his eyes revealed a wisp of confidence.
Another 10 years?
At that time, he might already be wandering about in the Foreign Lands.
After drinking a few cups of Cloudrise Tea, Duan Ling Tian stood up and lightly smiled at Zheng Fan. "Peak Master, if there’s nothing else, then I’ll be returning first… Please pass my gratitude to Senior Brother Zheng Song, and I, Duan Ling Tian, will remember this favor of his."
Zheng Fan nodded. "Go ahead."
Duan Ling Tian turned around, then stepped off the pavilion to descend onto the vast platform outside Mizar hall, then his body flashed out towards the distance.
"Perhaps, my biggest accomplishment in this lifetime will be getting on friendly terms with this little fellow…" Zheng Fan looked at Duan Ling Tian’s disappearing figure and only came back to his senses after Duan Ling Tian’s figure had completely vanished before his eyes, then he shook his head and smiled. "So long as he’s able to mature safely, his future isn’t something I’m able to imagine… This piece of good karma would even be able to allow me to enjoy its benefit for my entire lifetime!"
After many years, Zheng Fan would realize that the way he thought right now would be so true, and what foresight his thoughts possessed…
