War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens - Chapter 4327: 4327 Two Supreme Powerhouses

4327 Two Supreme Powerhouses

‘No, I can’t rejoice yet…’

Duan Ling Tian quickly calmed down after the burst of joy appeared in his heart. After all, the middle-aged man had yet to decide if he was willing to help him.

This matter involved two major clans in the Divine Offering Land, the Xia clan and the Yun clan. There was a supreme powerhouse in each of the clans. Although Duan Ling Tian and Ke’er’s matter was likely nothing to the supreme powerhouses, the middle-aged man might not be willing to offend the two clans for him.

Duan Ling Tian inhaled deeply as he looked at the middle-aged man and explained solemnly. “Senior, the thing is…”

Duan Ling Tian told the middle-aged man about his story with Ke’er. However, he omitted Yun Qing Yan from the story and only said that the Xia clan looked down on him. He requested the middle-aged to help him confirm if Ke’er had returned to the Xia clan and that the middle-aged tell Ke’er about his current situation if she was there. He wanted Ke’er to know that he was going to rescue her.

All in all, Duan Ling Tian’s story was a mix of truths and lies. He was honest when speaking about his feelings for Ke’er and the reason he had grown stronger so quickly was due to his desire to save her. However, he said that the reason for his and Ke’er’s separation was due to the Xia clan looking down on him in the past.

As for the Yun clan, Duan Ling Tian only casually mentioned that the Xia clan intended to let Ke’er marry someone from the Yun clan and did not mention who she was supposed to marry.

In fact, Duan Ling Tian’s request was quite simple. He only wanted the supreme powerhouse to check if Ke’er had returned to the Xia clan and to tell Ke’er about his current situation and strength if she was there. Apart from that, he also hoped the middle-aged man would tell Ke’er that his family and friends were safe and sound.

With Ke’er’s intelligence, Duan Ling Tian was confident that Ke’er would know to stall for time and wait for him to pick her up from the Xia clan in an honorable manner.

Meanwhile, the middle-aged man felt a little speechless after listening to Duan Ling Tian’s words. He had expected the favor to be slightly difficult at least. Who knew Duan Ling Tian only wanted him to run a simple errand?

The middle-aged man assumed Duan Ling Tian wanted his help with some difficult matters, and he was even prepared to refuse Duan Ling Tian if the matter was too difficult. He really did not expect that the favor was just a simple errand.

At this time, Duan Ling Tian looked at the middle-aged man and asked solemnly, “Senior, are you able to help me with this matter?”

“Alright,” the middle-aged man replied. This time, he did not consult his superior. After all, he was certain his superior would not have a problem with him helping Duan Ling Tian with such a simple matter. Moreover, he also had his own motive. With Duan Ling Tian’s innate talent, as long as Duan Ling Tian did not die prematurely, Duan Ling Tian was destined to rise to great heights. After becoming a supreme powerhouse, there was a chance that Duan Ling Tian would become one of the strongest supreme powerhouses in the God Defying World. There was no disadvantage to him helping Duan Ling Tian with such a simple matter, especially when Duan Ling Tian promised to return the favor in the future.

After the middle-aged man agreed to help him, Duan Ling Tian hurriedly said, “Senior, I’m truly grateful for your help. In the future, you definitely won’t regret helping me!”

This matter might be just a simple errand to the middle-aged man, but to Duan Ling Tian, it was an extremely important matter. After all, it involved his wife’s safety.

“Can you follow me to the divine fountain now?” the middle-aged man asked before he said, “After I bring you to the divine fountain, I’ll go to the Xia clan in the Divine Offering Land to look for your wife and convey your message to her. If she’s not in the Xia clan, I’ll help you look for her if she’s still on the Divine Sanction Battlefield. However, you or the Xia clan will have to provide me with the name she might use on the battlefield.”

The middle-aged man took the initiative to further help Duan Ling Tian. After all, he truly felt that Duan Ling Tian’s request was too simple, and he would feel bad if he did not do a little more. Moreover, as long as he was able to obtain the name Ke’er used on the Realm Battlefield, it would not be difficult for him to find her on the Divine Sanction Battlefield at all.

“Thank you, senior!” Duan Ling Tian thanked the middle-aged man profusely, feeling more at ease. At the same time, he felt that the middle-aged man was really reliable. With this, he was even more determined to repay the favor in the future.

Following that, the middle-aged man handed the rewards to Duan Ling Tian before he led Duan Ling Tian away.

When the middle-aged man waved his hand, Duan Ling Tian felt a force shrouding him and bringing him away. The swooshing sound of the wind rang in his ears, and his vision turned blurry immediately.

‘Is this due to his speed, or is this just the space that we’re traveling through now?’

After a moment, the middle-aged man said, “In three breaths, you’ll sense another force. Don’t resist it. It’ll take you to the divine fountain. I’m only responsible for bringing you here. The rest of the matter is out of my control.”

Duan Ling Tian quickly prepared himself after listening to the middle-aged man’s words. He wondered if this was a privilege for the person who ranked first in the overall ranking. A supreme powerhouse was sent to the Realm Battlefield to escort him, and it was likely that after leaving this place, another supreme powerhouse would bring him to the divine fountain.

‘I’m just a rudimentary Supreme God, but two supreme powerhouses were sent to escort me…’

Duan Ling Tian had been through many ups and downs in his life, but he still felt slightly excited at this moment.

Three breaths passed in just a blink of an eye. Just like the middle-aged man said, another force suddenly appeared. Compared to the middle-aged man’s energy, this force was much more gentle, but it was very domineering.

The contradictions of gentle and domineering gave rise to an indescribable feeling in Duan Ling Tian’s heart.

“Do your best to absorb as much vital energy as you can when you’re bathing in the divine fountain. You only have one chance. Once you reach your limit, you’ll be sent out,” the middle-aged man kindly reminded Duan Ling Tian after he withdrew his energy.

Duan Ling Tian felt his head spin when the other force enveloped him. Then, he felt as though he had fallen into a half-conscious state; it was as though he was dreaming.

“My lord, I…”

When Duan Ling Tian heard the voice behind him, he felt even more certain that he was dreaming. He was sure that the voice belonged to the middle-aged man, but how could the middle-aged man, a supreme powerhouse, address another person as ‘my lord’? As such, he was certain that he was dreaming.

While Duan Ling Tian was in a dream-like state, the middle-aged man and Duan Ling Tian suddenly appeared in an endless void.

In the endless void, a small courtyard with a pavilion was suspended in the air.

The middle-aged man landed in front of the pavilion before he bowed respectfully, seemingly afraid to look at the white-clad young man in the pavilion.

“Why did he suddenly change his mind?” the white-clad young man asked calmly.

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man quickly recounted everything Duan Ling Tian said to the white-clad young man. He naturally also told the white-clad young man about Duan Ling Tian asking for a favor, and he also mentioned the Xia clan and the Yun clan in the Divine Offering Land.

“For his wife, he made his way from the mundane realm to the Realm of Gods in less than a thousand years?” the white-clad young man asked as his eyes flashed with some indecipherable emotion. Then, he said, “I didn’t expect him to be so loyal and sentimental.”

“I don’t quite understand it as well,” the middle-aged man said as he shook his head.

The white-clad young man scoffed softly before he said, “I’m afraid you haven’t even touched a woman’s hand before. It’s normal that you don’t understand.”

The middle-aged man froze briefly upon hearing these words. He could not help but mutter inwardly, ‘It’s not like you’ve touched a woman’s hand before either…’

“What are you thinking?” the white-clad young man suddenly asked.

The middle-aged man jolted and quickly returned to his senses. He wondered inwardly, frightened, ‘Did he read my mind? Did he grow stronger again? How strong is he now to be able to read my mind?’

“I can’t read your mind,” the white-clad young man said when he saw the expression on the middle-aged man’s face, “I’m only guessing. You’re also wondering if I’ve grown stronger again, right?”

The middle-aged man’s heart trembled upon hearing these words. He could not help but wonder again if the white-clad young man had grown stronger. Was the white-clad young man really just guessing his thoughts?

After a while, the white-clad young man said, “Alright, you should take your leave now. Go to the Xia clan and the Yun clan in the Divine Offering Land to find out the ins and outs of the matter. The story he told you doesn’t add up. I’m sure there are quite a few things he omitted. Investigate this matter and report back to me. I’m curious about the reason that motivated the first person in the God Defying World to become a rudimentary Supreme God in less than a thousand years.”
