Chapter 4681 Two Plans

As soon as Duan Ling Tian made a move, he injured and defeated the divine monk, Yu Hao, with just a strike.

Even Hong Dong Chuan and Jiang Hai Shan were shocked, let alone the others. They were in utter disbelief, and it took them a while to recover their senses. None of them expected Duan Ling Tian to possess such terrifying strength.

After recovering his senses, the old man, who was leaning on his crutch, expression was indescribable. He wished he could dig a hole to hide in when he recalled how arrogant he had been earlier.

“H-how can he be so strong?!”

Ta Ye, the bald and burly man dressed in a black robe, looked at Han Zheng, who was standing next to him and holding a folding fan, in confusion as he asked through Voice Transmission, “Han Zheng, I thought you said you found everything there was to know about him? Is this what you mean by knowing everything?”

The corners of Han Zheng’s lips twitched before he said helplessly, “He hid too well. Look, apart from Jiang Hai Shan and Hong Dong Chuan, it’s obvious that the others from the Surging River Divine Kingdom also didn’t know he was a level-nine Dao Establishment powerhouse. Moreover, based on Jiang Hai Shan and Hong Dong Chuan’s expressions, it seemed like they also didn’t know that he was so terrifyingly strong. They’re clearly shocked that he was able to defeat Divine Monk Yu Hao with just a strike. They probably assumed that he was only a little stronger than Divine Monk Yu Hao.”

Yu Hao remained silent, but his gaze was complicated when he looked at Duan Ling Tian. He did not expect that even with two aces, he would still lose to the Surging River Divine Kingdom that had one ace.

Han Zheng looked at Duan Ling Tian with a wry smile on his face before he said, “The people of the Surging River Divine Kingdom really hid too deeply. With the strength of the God Defying Sword, if he had stepped in the arena first, he could’ve defeated all five people on our side on his own.”

At the same time, after regaining their composure, Xiao Zhen Nan and Hua Ruo from the Surging River Divine Kingdom looked at Duan Ling Tian with respect in their eyes. After this competition, there was no doubt that Duan Ling Tian, the God Defying Sword, was the strongest person below the realm of Dao Merging powerhouses in the Surging River Divine Kingdom. It would not take long for his name to spread throughout the Divine Land.

It was said that there were quite a lot of Dao Merging powerhouses in the Divine Land, but in fact, there were only a few dozen of them. As one of the strongest people below the Dao Merging Realm, Duan Ling Tian would certainly become famous in the Divine Land just like the Temple of the Bitter Sea’s Yu Hao and the Surging River Divine Monk’s Jiang Hai Shan. Those who paid attention to the powerhouses in the Divine Land all knew them.

“Lord Hai Shan, the Temple of the Bitter Sea sincerely admits defeat this time,” Yu Hao said after composing himself. Then, he continued to say helplessly with a bitter expression on his face, “Initially, I thought we’d be able to obtain the remaining Dao Merging Tablet from your Surging River Divine Kingdom. I, along with everyone else, really didn’t expect to lose. The Surging River Divine Kingdom really surprised us with its dark horse this time.”

Unlike Yu Hao who wore a bitter expression on his face, Jiang Hai Shan was smiling brightly. However, he still said modestly, “Divine Monk Yu Hao, I thought we’d lose as well. Fortunately, an old friend recommended Brother Ling Tian, allowing us to turn the tide. My apologies.”

Yu Hao could not help but feel the urge to punch Jiang Hai Shan when he saw the smug expression on Jiang Hai Shan’s face. At the same time, he thought to himself worriedly, ‘What are we going to do if this God Defying Sword continues to represent the Surging River Divine Kingdom in the Dao Establishment Competition a thousand years later? That’ll be really troublesome.’

Despite the defeat, Yu Hao still did his duty as the host. He invited Duan Ling Tian and the others to the main temple of the Temple of the Bitter Sea.

Duan Ling Tian knew that this was a customary practice after the end of the Dao Establishment Competition. Participants would have the opportunity to listen to the opposing force’s Dao Merging powerhouse’s Dao insight. He naturally looked forward to it.

A thousand years ago when the Surging River Divine Kingdom lost the Dao Establishment Competition, the members of the Temple of the Bitter Sea stayed as guests and listened to the Dao teaching of the Dao Merging powerhouse from the imperial family of the Surging River Divine Kingdom.

Previously, when Duan Ling Tian was wandering the Temple of the Bitter Sea City, he had enlightenment. With that, his Limitless Dao was very close to a breakthrough. He was now just a step away from breaking into the ninth stage of the Sword Dao. Once he succeeded, he would be able to merge it with his Sword Dao, creating the Limitless Sword Dao.

As Duan Ling Tian followed the others to the main temple, he asked Jiang Hai Shan through Voice Transmission, “What Daos did the Dao Merging powerhouse from the Temple of the Bitter Sea merge?”

Jiang Hai Shan replied immediately, “The powerhouse from the Temple of the Bitter Sea merged the Sanskrit Dao and the Limitless Dao.”

Duan Ling Tian could not help but feel excited as soon as he heard this. This was his first time hearing about the Sanskrit Dao so he naturally did not have any feelings about it. What he was excited about was the Limitless Dao. After all, he comprehended the Limitless Dao, and it was only second to his Sword Dao now. It was very close to the ninth stage.

‘The Temple of the Bitter Sea is truly a blessed place. Hopefully, I’ll be able to improve my Limitless Dao to the ninth stage after listening to the temple’s Dao Merging powerhouse!’

Duan Ling Tian did not think about representing the Surging River Divine Kingdom a thousand years later in the Dao Establishment Competition. After all, if his Limitless Dao successfully broke through, he was certain he would not be just a Dao Establishment cultivator a thousand years later.

Coincidentally, at this time, Yu Hao sent a Voice Transmission to Duan Ling Tian.

“Brother Ling Tian, if you don’t represent the Surging River Divine Kingdom a thousand years later, the Temple of the Bitter Sea will grant you a request within our ability.”

Yu Hao had personally experienced Duan Ling Tian’s strength. He did not think he would be a match for Duan Ling Tian even after a thousand years had passed, let alone Bai Yan, who was even weaker than him.

Duan Ling Tian was briefly stunned. When he recovered, he was overjoyed. This was too convenient. It was as though someone had given him a pillow just as he was about to fall asleep.

“I’ll think about it. I’ll give you an answer before leaving the Temple of the Bitter Sea.”

Despite his words, Duan Ling Tian had already decided to agree. After all, he was confident he would not be a mere Dao Establishment powerhouse a thousand years later. He did not agree immediately because he was still thinking about what request to make.

Duan Ling Tian had two plans now. First, he planned to see if the Dao teachings of the Temple of the Bitter Sea’s Dao Merging powerhouse could help improve his Limitless Dao and allow it to break through to the ninth stage. After that, he planned to make his request. After all, his request would depend on whether his Limitless Dao improved or not.
