Chapter 663: Unusual Change In The Devilseal Tablet
Translator: KurazyTolanzuraytor Editor: Jay
"Someone from a tiny little Imperial Kingdom actually possesses such a cultivation, and it even far exceeds me from all those years ago… He can be said to be in a class of his own in the entire Darkhan Dynasty!" Feng Wu Dao sighed in his heart.
Not long after, the sky gradually dimmed down and the veil of night descended.
Duan Ling Tian, Feng Tian Wu, Feng Wu Dao, Elder Kong, and Grandma Xu sat together around a table covered in fine wine and delicacies that night, and all of this was prepared by Grandma Xu.
All of them sat together and started eating, and they occasionally chatted idly.
"The Dynasty Martial Competition is tomorrow. With Ling Tian’s strength, becoming eminent in the martial competition to obtain the qualification to participate in the Martial Competition of the Ten Dynasties isn’t difficult… But if you want to obtain an outstanding result at the Martial Competition of the Ten Dynasties, then your cultivation must advance." Feng Wu Dao looked at Duan Ling Tian and spoke slowly.
Duan Ling Tian nodded as he was already mentally prepared about this since long ago.
In next to no time, Duan Ling Tian recalled something and couldn’t help but ask. "Uncle Feng, I heard today that the Feng Clan only possesses two recommendation positions for the Dynasty Martial Competition?"
"Yes." Feng Wu Dao nodded.
"Why is it like that?" Duan Ling Tian had a puzzled expression as he asked. "Even the various Empires possess ten positions each… Could it be that the Feng Clan is inferior to a mere Empire?"
An Empire was undoubtedly a colossus.
But if a power like the Feng Clan wanted to sweep through an Empire and the Empire didn’t possess the protection of the Imperial Family of the Darkhan Dynasty, then an Empire wouldn’t utterly be unable to withstand a power like the Feng Clan.
The various Empires under the Darkhan Dynasty each possessed one Void Interpretation Stage expert at most, whereas, there were many Void Interpretation Stage experts in the Feng Clan.
"You can’t compare it like that?" Feng Wu Dao shook his head and obviously knew something.
"Hmm?" Duan Ling Tian had a puzzled expression. "Why can’t I compare it like that?"
Feng Wu Dao smiled. "Do you know that the Dynasty Martial Competition this time is divided into two phases?"
"Two phases?" Duan Ling Tian was stunned.
"Yes, two phases." Feng Wu Dao nodded and then said, "Tomorrow is the first phase of the Dynasty Martial Competitions… The young geniuses of the Darkhan Dynasty won’t be competing tomorrow."
Duan Ling Tian pondered for a moment when he heard Feng Wu Dao, and then he asked curiously. "Could it be that tomorrow is a competition between the young geniuses of the various Empires?"
"Yes." Feng Wu Dao nodded once more. "The strongest 30 young geniuses of the various Empires will be decided on tomorrow… These 30 young geniuses will obtain the qualification to participate in the second phase of the Dynasty Martial Competition
"During the second phase of the Dynasty Martial Competition, these 30 young geniuses will compete for the qualifications to participate in the Martial Competition of the Ten Dynasties with the young geniuses of our Darkhan Dynasty.
"Now you understand why our Feng Clan only possesses two recommendation positions, right?"
Duan Ling Tian nodded when faced with Feng Wu Dao’s question at the end.
"Actually, it isn’t only our Feng Clan." Feng Wu Dao continued. "Besides the Imperial Family possessing three positions, comparatively eminent powers in the territory of the Darkhan Dynasty like our Feng Clan each possess two positions, and as for those ordinary powers, they only possess a single recommendation position in the Dynasty Martial Competition this time."
Duan Ling Tian came to a sudden understanding.
"In this way, that Zhang Clan and Ye Clan have two positions as well?" Feng Tian Wu looked at Feng Wu Dao.
"Yes." Feng Wu Dao nodded.
Duan Ling Tian’s eyes flashed as he was instantly slightly lacking in interest towards the Dynasty Martial Competition that was held tomorrow.
Tomorrow was a battle between the young geniuses of the various Empires.
Duan Ling Tian wasn’t interested in this.
It wasn’t that he looked down on the young geniuses of the various Empires, but as the young geniuses of mere Empires, their strengths were still limited compared to the top geniuses of the Darkhan Dynasty.
Not to mention anyone else, just Mo Xuan who came with me from the Darkstone Empire… Although he was the number one genius of the Darkstone Empire a year ago, if he didn’t acquire any fortuitous encounters during the past year, then he would at most be at the fifth level of the Void Initiation Stage." Duan Ling Tian thought to himself.
After they ate their fills, Duan Ling Tian and the others dispersed.
"Big Brother Duan, I’ll see you tomorrow." Outside a small courtyard that was elegant, Feng Tian Wu waved at Duan Ling Tian before turning and entering the small courtyard.
Only after he saw her in did Duan Ling Tian leave and return to his own small courtyard.
That night, Duan Ling Tian held onto the Wind Concept Fragment and continued comprehending.
Of course, he knew clearly in his heart that it was impossible for he who had just comprehended eighth level Wind Concept to comprehend ninth level Wind Concept in a short period of time.
"I won’t be greedy… Allow me to comprehend ninth level Wind Concept in three or four months; and comprehend first level Intermediate Wind Concept in seven or eight months." Duan Ling Tian’s brows raised as he thought in his heart.
If someone found out about Duan Ling Tian’s current thoughts, they would surely be speechless.
This was not being greedy?
The night gradually darkened, and Duan Ling Tian finally put away the Wind Concept Fragment before lying on his bed and falling into deep sleep.
It had already been a long time since he slept properly.
After Duan Ling Tian fell asleep, strands of moonlight beams of moonlight entered from the open window and scattered onto Duan Ling Tian in tiny dots.
If Duan Ling Tian was outside his room now, he would surely notice that the moon tonight was exceedingly round, and it was a full moon.
Suddenly, there just happened to be a ray of moonlight that descended onto the Spatial Ring on Duan Ling Tian’s hand.
From the outside, nothing seemed to be off, yet an unexpected event had occurred in the space within the Spatial Ring.
In the exceedingly quiet space within the Spatial Ring, various types of things were placed all around in an orderly manner.
These things were placed around by Duan Ling Tian’s mental intentions.
Right at this moment, a wave of light sounds was emitted out from an inconspicuous corner of the space within the Spatial Ring.
If one were to look carefully, one would be able to notice that a broken stone tablet was lightly trembling in that corner…
At the same time, a strand of moonlight had actually entered from outside into the Spatial Ring through unknown means and it ceaselessly gushed into the stone tablet.
The frequency of the stone tablet’s light trembling grew higher and higher.
After an unknown amount of time, or perhaps it was that the sky started to brighten, but the moonlight gradually vanished.
Yet atop the surface of the stone tablet was a strand of a faint sheen of moonlight, the sheen gradually fused into the strange name on the tablet’s surface before vanishing.
When the last trace of moonlight vanished, an unusual change occurred on the stone tablet.
Whoosh!
The tablet flew up into the sky and fiercely flew out to smash towards a pile of Origin Stone at a side in the space within the Spatial Ring, and it smashed the Origin Stones to the point of scattering them in all directions.
Subsequently, the stone tablet continued flying out and smashed some medicinal materials that were left at another side.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
…
The stone tablet flew out successively, and every single time it flew out, it would smash everything in the space within the Spatial Ring to become a complete mess.
Gradually, the stone tablet seemed to have lost its strength and completely quieted down.
It could be imagined that if Duan Ling Tian saw everything within his Spatial Ring, he would surely turn pale with fear.
But Duan Ling Tian currently didn’t know everything that had happened within his Spatial Ring.
Outside the Spatial Ring was a completely different world.
The sky gradually brightened and Duan Ling Tian who lay on the bed woke up.
"The Dynasty Martial Competition… is starting." After Duan Ling Tian casually washed up, he withdrew a new set of clothes from his Spatial Ring with a thought in his heart, but when he intended to toss the set of old clothes back into the Spatial Ring, he was instead completely stunned.
Heavens!
What happened?
With a command in his heart, the ‘space’ within the Spatial Ring appeared completely before his eyes.
But the current space within the Spatial Ring caused him to be stunned.
A mess!
Too much of a mess!
"What’s going on? If it wasn’t for the space within the Spatial Ring being unable to hold things that contained life… I would really think that I was robbed." The corners of Duan Ling Tian’s mouth twitched.
If it wasn’t for him being extremely sure about the condition in the space within the Spatial Ring, he would really think that the space had always been in such a mess.
After thinking for a long time, Duan Ling Tian was unable to wrap his head around the matter.
"Forget it, I’ll arrange the things first." Although the space within the Spatial Ring was in a complete mess, but it was fortunate that all the things Duan Ling Tian kept within weren’t damaged, and in next to no time, these things were placed back into position with a thought.
"Even this Devilseal Tablet ran over here…" After he put back most of the things, Duan Ling Tian noticed that the broken stone tablet he’d obtained from the Swamp of Death in the Crimson Sky Kingdom had actually moved from its corner.
"What exactly happened within the Spatial Ring? Even such a heavy thing like the Devilseal Tablet ran out from the corner over there." Now, Duan Ling Tian felt a chill run down his spine, and he felt that what happened was slightly abnormal.
The Devilseal Tablet was something Duan Ling Tian obtained within the strange palace when he entered deep into the Swamp of Death with the intention of searching for the secret of his father, Duan Ru Feng’s, disappearance.
At that time, there was an extremely strong soul within the Devilseal Tablet, and it flashed out from the tablet with an intention of seizing his body.
At that time, Duan Ling Tian noticed that the soul was even stronger than the soul of the Rebirth Martial Emperor.
Perhaps, the owner that the soul belonged to was once even stronger than the Rebirth Martial Emperor!
After that formidable soul vanished, this Devilseal Tablet that held that soul entered into Duan Ling Tian’s possession and had always been stored in a corner of his Spatial Ring.
If it wasn’t for the incident today, Duan Ling Tian would have almost forgotten it.
Whoosh!
With a command in his head, a broken stone tablet appeared in his hand.
It was exactly the Devilseal Tablet.
"I wonder what writing is on this Devilseal Tablet…? The Rebirth Martial Emperor that has experienced two lifetimes actually doesn’t recognize this type of writing." Duan Ling Tian shook his head and once again placed the Devilseal Tablet back into his Spatial Ring.
"This won’t do, I have to quickly change to another Spatial Ring… This Spatial Ring is too strange." When Duan Ling Tian recalled what had happened in the space within his Spatial Ring, he felt his hairs stand on end, and he hurriedly took out another Spatial Ring and moved all the things within the old Spatial Ring into the newer Spatial Ring.
As for the old Spatial Ring.
Hiss!
Along with Duan Ling Tian raising his hand, his grade three Weapon Flame appeared, and the Spatial Ring was quickly burnt into a pool of liquid by Duan Ling Tian.
With a thought, the liquid gradually transformed into a candlestick.
After he casually placed the candlestick on the table, Duan Ling Tian left his room.
