“As the saying goes, ‘The world is so big that there’s nothing to be surprised about’. Once we leave Cloud Continent, we really can’t see the Heaven and Earth Phenomenon gathered by the Heaven and Earth Energy anymore…” Duan Ling Tian mused to himself after he confirmed it was true.
Similar to the others, he was already used to battling with the Heaven and Earth Phenomenon by his side. Now that they had left Cloud Continent and was without the Heaven and Earth Phenomenon, he was a little unaccustomed to it.
Duan Ling Tian was not the only one who felt that way.
The other nine people, including the three Martial Emperor’s direct disciples, Zhou Di, Song Ting, and Zhong An, regained their senses. All of them were also shocked.
“This is too amazing! The Heaven and Earth Energy really won’t mobilize and gather into the Heaven and Earth Phenomenon once we leave Cloud Continent and arrive at the overseas world.”
“This means that in this overseas world, your strength won’t be easily revealed no matter how strong you are since the Heaven and Earth Phenomenon won’t materialize!”
“How peculiar!” Many people whispered among themselves. They could not help but share their thoughts with each other.
All ten of them, including Duan Ling Tian, were in shock for a long time. When they regained their senses, they felt as though they had entered a new world. This new world thoroughly shocked them.
Soon after, Yang Hui, Martial Emperor Ling Xuan, made his move once again. The tremendous invisible energy swept out and guided Duan Ling Tian and the rest to move forward again.
The Hidden Fog Island of the Oversea Saint Island!
That was their destination this time.
Their objective was to join the Hidden Fog Martial Competition that would be held on Hidden Fog Island.
At that time, they would meet many other people like them, powerhouses who came from Cloud Continent.
“With our speed, how long will it take for us to reach the Hidden Fog Island?” Duan Ling Tian asked curiously as he looked at Martial Emperor Ling Xuan.
“About two months,” Yang Hui replied.
Upon hearing that, Duan Ling Tian nodded in reply.
Then, he closed his eyes once again. It appeared as though he was trying to attain mental composure, but in fact, he was already beginning to cultivate and comprehend his two Profundities.
While Duan Ling Tian and the others were getting closer to the Hidden Fog Island, the Inner Land of Cloud Continent was in an uproar.
Originally, the commotion caused by Ling Tian Sect was only at the southern part of the Inner Land on Cloud Continent.
However, the Inner Land of Cloud Continent soon discovered that the Ancient Han Clan that had always maintained a low profile had suddenly joined in and even became Ling Tian Sect’s pawn.
All of the powerhouses from Han Clan were dispatched, and they swept through the entire Inner Land on Cloud Continent. In just the span of two to three months, they had made more than 80% of the first-rate forces in the Inner Land plead allegiance to Ling Tian Sect.
Ling Tian Sect’s name immediately spread everywhere. Its name became famous in the entire Inner Land on Cloud Continent, it was no longer restricted to the southern area of the Inner Land.
It was worth mentioning that when the Han Clan’s powerhouses willingly became Ling Tian Sect’s pawn and intimidated many first-rate forces in the Inner Land to submit to Ling Tian Sect, another ancient clan had tried to interfere.
According to that ancient clan, as a reclusive ancient clan, the Han Clan should not create such a huge commotion on Cloud Continent.
Many people thought the two ancient clans would go to war with each other when that ancient clan suddenly became frightened. Moreover, they even willingly became a pawn of Ling Tian Sect.
Ling Tian Sect’s fame inspired awe throughout the entire Inner Land on Cloud Continent. Its name even spread to the Outer Land at an amazing speed.
There had never been such an extraordinary sect before in the history of Cloud Continent.
“I heard that Ling Tian Sect is originally a low-level first-rate force in an inconspicuous corner in the southern area of our Cloud Continent’s Inner Land. Moreover, they only took over the sect. It was previously a low-level first-rate force called the Yin Yang Sect.”
“I’ve also heard that before. Still, I didn’t expect the sect’s meteoric rise! It’s really terrifying!”
“There are Martial Emperors and Demon Emperors in the two ancient clans, but they willingly became Ling Tian Sect’s pawns and did everything for the sect! It’s just too inconceivable!”
“I wonder why the two great ancient clans are willing to become pawns! In fact, none of the Martial Emperors or Demon Emperors on Cloud Continent could submit the two great ancient clans before!”
Discussions like that were common in the Inner Land on Cloud Continent.
Everyone was interested in Ling Tian Sect. Many geniuses and talented martial artists even fought to enter Ling Tian Sect.
The fact that Ling Tian Sect could order the two great ancient clans around was enough to arouse anyone’s interest.
Another two weeks went by.
This time, all of the first-rate forces active on the surface of Cloud Continent’s Inner Land had all become Ling Tian Sect’s affiliated sects. Apart from having to hand over a huge number of Origin Stones, they needed to hand over their genius disciples as well.
At the same time, Ling Tian Sect moved their site to a mountain peak that was even loftier in the central area of Cloud Continent’s Inner Land.
This mountain peak was even bigger and wider than Ling Tian Peak.
This mountain peak was originally the site of a top-level first-rate force in Cloud Continent’s Inner Land.
Just because Han Xue Nai, the acting Sect Leader of Ling Tian Sect, had taken an interest in it, the Han Clan forcibly took possession of it and presented it to Han Xue Nai and Ling Tian Sect.
After they relocated to this new site, Han Xue Nai ordered all members of Ling Tian Sect to gather before she announced nonchalantly, “From now on, this will be the new Ling Tian Peak.”
Although her voice was not loud, it was clearly heard by everyone present on the scene.
At once, other than the three little fellows always by Han Xue Nai’s side who remained calm, the remaining people beamed with delight. They could not suppress the excitement in their hearts.
When they cheered, their eyes were filled with awe when they looked at Han Xue Nai.
It was all because of this yellow-clad teenage girl who looked like she was only fifteen or sixteen years old brought three little monsters and swept through the first-rate forces in the southern area of Cloud Continent before ordering the Ancient Han Clan to work for them.
Moreover, when the other ancient clan wanted to stop the Han Clan from carrying out duties for Ling Tian Sect, this teenage girl was the one who dealt with the matter. Other than rescuing the Han Clan from the siege, she even made that ancient clan work for her and Ling Tian Sect.
Although they were not clear about what exactly happened, the result was more than enough to surprise them.
“W-Who’s this Sect Leader’s sister?”
“Not only is she powerful, but she even has those three little fellows who are extremely powerful as well! This is still acceptable. The most terrifying thing is she managed to make the two great ancient clans on Cloud Continent work for her! This is just too mind-blowing!”
…
Many people were shocked as a myriad of thoughts filled their minds.
Even Xiong Quan who knew Han Xue Nai was not a simple person did not think that she was so terrifying.
“She’s only a little girl, but she’s so powerful… I don’t think anyone is stronger than her on Cloud Continent! W-Who’s she exactly?” Xiong Quan was extremely curious about Han Xue Nai’s identity and origin.
After the commotion, Ling Tian Sect finally became the most powerful force on Cloud Continent. The sect was also very influential, like the sun in the mid-sky.
Any force that could make the two great ancient clans work for it would make everyone tremble in fear.
If it was not for the fact that most of the Martial Emperors and Demon Emperors on Cloud Continent had brought people away from Cloud Continent to the Hidden Fog Island to join the Hidden Fog Martial Competition, more people would have been shocked by Ling Tian Sect’s matter.
Even the Martial Emperors and Demon Emperors were not exempted.
“Right now, our Ling Tian Sect is standing at the summit of Cloud Continent yet our sect’s Sect leader is still nowhere to be seen!” Han Xue Nai looked at the group of people before her as she announced, “Due to this reason, I want our main priority to be shifted to searching for our Sect Leader. Ling Tian Sect will reward whoever helps us to find Duan Ling Tian, the Sect Leader of our Ling Tian Sect. They’ll be rewarded with 1,000 supreme-grade Origin Stones!”
She continued to say, “This reward is open to the elders and disciples of our Ling Tian Sect as well.”
1,000 supreme-grade Origin Stones!
Upon hearing Han Xue Nai’s words, many people’s eyes brightened right away. It was as though they could see 1,000 supreme-grade Origin Stones waving at them.
1,000 supreme-grade Origin Stones were enough to make most people go crazy!
“Apart from that, I’ll let the two great ancient clans help us in our search for our Ling Tian Sect’s Sect Leader as well,” Han Xue Nai continued to announce.
The moment these words left Han Xue Nai’s mouth, many people turned anxious immediately. It was as though they feared the members from the two great ancient clans would snatch the 1,000 supreme-grade Origin Stones away.
News of Han Xue Nai’s reward quickly spread from Ling Tian Sect.
Ling Tian Sect was searching for Duan Ling Tian!
Whoever provided clues in their search for Duan Ling Tian would be rewarded with 1,000 supreme-grade Origin Stones.
Anyone who heard about the reward would immediately go crazy.
1,000 supreme-grade Origin Stones
Even the top-level first-rate forces on Cloud Continent’s Inner Land would not be able to take out so many supreme-grade Origin Stones. One could easily imagine just how much so many supreme-grade Origin Stones were worth.
When the entire Ling Tian Sect was in a frenzy searching for Duan Ling Tian, Han Xue Nai temporarily left Ling Tian Sect and went to the place where the two great ancient clans resided.
After that, the two great ancient clans also began to dispatch their members to search for traces of Duan Ling Tian, the Sect Leader of Ling Tian Sect. They did not dare to slack at all.
Ling Xuan Peak was not far from the where the new Ling Tian Sect was located.
After Martial Emperor Ling Xuan, the owner of Ling Xuan Peak left with ten of the most outstanding people under his command, the atmosphere in Ling Xuan Peak became glum and gloomy unlike before.
It was only until the news of the reward from Ling Tian Sect spread to Ling Xuan Peak that it regained its bustling atmosphere.
Many Martial Emperor’s disciples and followers left Ling Xuan Peak temporarily for the sake of the reward as well.
