War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens Chapter 3822

Chapter 3822: Duan Ling Tian Comes Out of Closed-Door Cultivation

In the Flying Dragon Sect, the sect leader, all of the Golden Dragon Elders, and most of the high-ranking officials supported the Imperial War.

“Not only do we have a chance of producing an Emperor of G.o.ds with the Imperial War, but it’ll be beneficial toward our members as well. Everyone can gain experience from this, which will help with our cultivation….” a Black Dragon Elder said.

Apart from the Golden Dragon Elders, White Dragon Elders, like Xue Hai Chuan and Dongfang Yan Nian, and Black Dragon Elders were present as well.

However, inner elders like Kuang Tian Zheng were not qualified to partic.i.p.ate in this discussion. Those with the lowest status among those present were White Dragon Elders at least.

“I agree,” someone else said, “Although our disciples can gain experience through missions, it can’t compare to the Imperial War. Moreover, not all of our disciples go on missions to gain contribution points.”

Another Vice Sect Leader of the Flying Dragon Sect said, “That’s right. Many of our young disciples have no goals and live too comfortably. They still hold onto their youthful arrogance due to a lack of hards.h.i.+ps. Many of them rely on the sect’s name to act boldly outside. This is the problem faced by many top forces.”

Unlike Xue Ming Zhi, this vice sect leader supported the Imperial War even if he was far from becoming an Emperor of G.o.ds. He was unhappy with the younger generation in the sect who were too complacent. Even those who chose to go on missions to earn contribution points would usually choose the easiest missions. Most of them felt that it was only a matter of time before they grew stronger since they were in the Flying Dragon Sect. Perhaps, their complacency and arrogance came from their youth and talents. After all, those who could join the Flying Dragon Sect had to be at least talented. Moreover, for the younger generation, the Heavenly Tribulations were still manageable. Hence, they were not in a rush to improve.

Lan Yu Shan, the Black Dragon Elder, said, “I feel the same way. All of us were the same when we were young. For this reason, the Heavenly Tribulations are much more difficult for us. Don’t any of you regret not putting in more effort when you were young? I hope the Imperial War will be able to get rid of the younger generation’s complacency and help them gain experience and improve. I also hope it will give rise to a new Emperor of G.o.ds in our sect!”

Many people agreed with Lan Yu Shan’s words.

At this moment, Dongfang Yan Nian said to Xue Hai Chuan through Voice Transmission, “Hai Chuan, it seems like we won’t be able to avoid this war.”

Xue Hai Chuan’s eyes glinted as he replied, “When I found out the reason for the Tai Yi Sect’s visit, I already knew the Imperial War was inevitable. I’ve been antic.i.p.ating the Imperial War since I joined the Flying Dragon Sect. Finally, the wait is over!”

“You…” Dongfang Yan Nian shook his head and smiled helplessly. As Xue Hai Chuan’s friend, he was not surprised by this answer.

“Yan Nian,” Xue Hai Chuan said solemnly through Voice Transmission, “You’ve been stuck at the bottleneck for quite a long time now since you became an intermediate Lord of G.o.ds. This war is your chance to break through. When it starts, you should follow me to the frontlines so the pressure will help you to break through!”

Dongfang Yan Nian refused immediately. “There’s no need for that. You can go ahead with your plan. I have my own plans.”

Dongfang Yan Nian recalled the time in the past when he had gone on missions with Xue Hai Chuan. At that time, Xue Hai Chuan had encountered two advanced Lords of G.o.ds and recklessly charged toward them. Fortunately, they managed to kill their opponents, but they were still seriously injured. Xue Hai Chuan even almost lost his life. After that, he had asked Xue Hai Chuan for the reason behind his recklessness, Xue Hai Chuan had said it was because he had faith in their strength and ability. Since then, he had not gone on a mission with Xue Hai Chuan. It was not because he was afraid of death, but it was because he did not want to see Xue Hai Chuan risking his life in such a manner again.

“Please stop putting your life on the line. You’ve been fighting non-stop since you joined the sect. You’re the complete opposite of those complacent disciples the elders spoke about. You shouldn’t overdo it as well. You have to rest,” Dongfang Yan Nian said, “Don’t forget that you need to protect your brother as well. If anything happens to you, who’s going to protect your brother?”

Xue Hai Chuan smiled bitterly upon hearing Dongfang Yan Nian’s words. Then, he sighed before he fell silent.

Seeing the gloomy expression on Xue Hai Chuan’s face, Dongfang Yan Nian changed the topic and asked, “That’s right. Ling Tian brought the 10,000 Flowers Valley’s Lady Seven to meet you, right? Is she that person’s daughter? Did she come to ask you why you rejected her mother?”

When Xue Hai Chuan had just joined the Flying Dragon Sect, he had gone out on many missions. During that time, he had quite many admirers. One of them was a disciple of the 10,000 Flowers Valley. She was willing to cancel her engagement to another man for Xue Hai Chuan as long as Xue Hai Chuan was willing to be with her. Lady Seven was the daughter of that disciple. Not many people knew about this matter. Even Dongfang Yan Nian only found out about this a few days ago.

Xue Hai Chuan’s expression darkened immediately as he scolded Dongfang Yan Nian through Voice Transmission, “Get lost!”

Then, Xue Hai Chuan looked away, ignoring Dongfang Yan Nian.

At the same time, the meeting finally came to an end, and everyone came to an agreement to accept the declaration of the Imperial War.

…

It did not take long for the news to spread through the Flying Dragon Sect. In the beginning, many people did not know what the Imperial War was. They were shocked when they learned about it.

“Even advanced Lords of G.o.ds might die in an Imperial War?”

“It’s compulsory for everyone to partic.i.p.ate in the Imperial War?!”

“We’re just advanced G.o.ds. Aren’t we just seeking death if we take part in the war?”

“Don’t worry. Those below the level of a King of G.o.ds are exempted from partic.i.p.ating in the war.”

Many of the disciples were against the Imperial War. They gathered and protested, but it was futile.

As for disciples who were G.o.ds, they felt relieved when they found out they would not be affected by the Imperial War. Even then, they still tried to gather information.

“How long will the Imperial War last?”

This was an important question to them. After all, if they were to become a King of G.o.ds while the war was still ongoing, they would have to take part in the air. They could not deliberately hold back their cultivations; as outer disciples, they had to become a King of G.o.ds within a certain time. Otherwise, they would be expelled from the sect. There was a small group who thought that avoiding the war was worth the expulsion, but the majority thought that an expulsion just to avoid the Imperial War would be too humiliating.

The commotion caused by news of the Imperial War lasted for quite a while.

…

When Duan Ling Tian found out about the Imperial War, three months had already pa.s.sed. The commotion had yet to die down completely at this time, and there were still people discussing the matter.

Duan Ling Tian, who had just emerged from his closed-door cultivation, was puzzled when he saw a crowd in the normally quiet Internal Affairs Pavilion.

“What’s going on?”

When he walked in, the conversations in the surroundings entered his ears. It was only at this time that he found out that the Imperial War would commence in five years.

Duan Ling Tian knew about the Imperial War. He had gained quite a bit of knowledge after arriving at the Profound Energy Land. He also spent time reading while he was in the Hidden Fog Sect and the Linghu clan. He had learned about the Imperial War while he was in the Linghu clan.

‘The Flying Dragon Sect is fighting the Tai Yi Sect in the Imperial War? It seems like even the heavens are against me leaving the Flying Dragon Sect!” Duan Ling Tian thought to himself as his eyes lit up. To him, the only thing he wanted more than anything else now was to get stronger, and the Imperial War was definitely a golden opportunity for him to do that. He believed the pressure and experience from the war would definitely increase his strength.
