War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens Chapter 4517

4517 A Profitable Exchange

The group of sword prodigies was shocked by the high death rate, and many of them considered withdrawing at this moment. Although they had known that the Realm of Origin was fraught with danger, the death rate was really too high. However, when a few of them expressed that they did not wish to enter the Realm of Origin, the supreme powerhouses of the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion leveled an icy gaze at them. It was obvious that withdrawing now was no different from seeking death. As such, many of them could only give up on withdrawing.

At this time, one of the sword prodigies said with a scoff, “What’s wrong with you? Haven’t you heard that fortune favors the bold? It’s only natural that entering the Realm of Origin comes with risks. You won’t be able to become a supreme powerhouse if you’re frightened by these risks…”

These words seemed to sober up those who wanted to withdraw. They began to question if they were cowards who were afraid of death; they were not even willing to enter the Realm of Origin that contained many treasures and fortuitous encounters. At the same time, they thought about their close calls with death in the past.

Meanwhile, just as Duan Ling Tian’s gaze fell on the sword prodigy who had spoken, Xiao Tian Ci, the Palace Master of the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion’s Golden Dragon Palace, said to Duan Ling Tian through Voice Transmission, “This sword prodigy has comprehended the Sword Dao to the fifth stage. However, he’s much older than you. Among all the sword prodigies present, he’s second only to you.”

The sword prodigy was an ordinary-looking young man with a pair of thick eyebrows who was dressed in a long black robe. His back was as straight as a sword, making him look dignified and upright.

!!

At this time, that sword prodigy looked up and met Duan Ling Tian’s gaze. Duan Ling Tian could instantly see the fighting spirit burning in the other party’s eyes. He only nodded and smiled slightly before he looked away.

Following that, the first group of sword prodigies who survived the Realm of Origin handed the things they obtained to the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion.

Subsequently, one of the supreme powerhouses said, “We’ll bring you back to the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion now. If you obtained any treasures the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion wants, you can choose something of equal value in exchange from the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion’s treasure vault. As for the treasures that the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion doesn’t need, you can keep them.”

After that, the supreme powerhouse led the first group of prodigies back to the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion.

…

Half a day pa.s.sed after the first group of sword prodigies left before Xiao Tian Ci said tonelessly, “You may enter now.”

Hu Ming Yue and another two supreme powerhouses led the second group of sword prodigies, including Xue Ao and Lan Ming, to the entrance of the Realm of Origin.

Before entering the Realm of Origin, Xue Ao said ingratiatingly through Voice Transmission, “Duan Ling Tian, I’m so envious of you. If I survive the Realm of Origin and manage to join the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion, you mustn’t forget about me.”

After the second group of the sword prodigies entered the Realm of Origin, only six people were left on the scene: Duan Ling Tian, Xiao Tian Ci, a gray-clad old man; who stood quietly behind Xiao Tian Ci, and the three supreme powerhouses; including Hu Ming Yue, who led the second group of sword prodigies here.

“The three of you will wait at the entrance of the Realm of Origin,” Xiao Tian Ci said. Then, he gestured to Duan Ling Tian before he brought Duan Ling Tian and the old man away.

When Duan Ling Tian regained his senses, he found himself in what seemed like a vast and boundless world. He was wondering where he was when he heard Xiao Tian Ci’s voice.

“This is my Little World. Old Kong is an expert of the law of s.p.a.ce. He has comprehended the law of s.p.a.ce to the paramount stage many years ago. Before the third group of sword prodigies enters the Realm of Origin, you should learn from Old Kong here. When it’s convenient, you can show me your Sword Dao so I can study it. I’m only a step away from entering the sixth stage, but I’ve been stuck at a bottleneck for many years.”

Duan Ling Tian knew that Xiao Tian Ci wanted his help to overcome the bottleneck he faced in his Sword Dao. In exchange, Xiao Tian Ci arranged for him to learn from an expert who had comprehended the law of s.p.a.ce to the paramount stage.

Swoos.h.!.+

At this time, a gust of wind blew past, and the gray-clad old man who was standing behind Xiao Tian Ci appeared in front of Duan Ling Tian.

‘He’s a supreme powerhouse who comprehended the law of s.p.a.ce to the paramount stage!’ Duan Ling Tian exclaimed inwardly.

A supreme powerhouse who had comprehended a law to the paramount stage should be a level-four supreme powerhouse, someone who was close to becoming a demi Saint, at least even if his or her Dao of Heaven and Earth was only mediocre.

“Attack with your might using your law of s.p.a.ce and Sword Dao,” the old man said expressionlessly, “I’ll suppress my strength so it matches yours, but I won’t suppress my law of s.p.a.ce.”

Duan Ling Tian could not help but feel excited when he heard these words. This was the best chance for him to improve his law of s.p.a.ce. Although he had recordings of experts who comprehended the law of s.p.a.ce to the paramount stage, it would be much better for him to learn from an expert in real life.

“Thank you, senior,” Duan Ling Tian said as he bowed slightly to the gray-clad old man.

Duan Ling Tian felt grateful even if he knew this was a trade between him and Xiao Tian Ci. In his opinion, he benefited more from this exchange. With Xiao Tian Ci’s high status in the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion, it would not be difficult for Xiao Tian Ci to study the sixth stage of the Sword Dao with other experts. On the contrary, if it were not for Xiao Tian Ci, it would be impossible for him to personally study the law of s.p.a.ce with an expert who had comprehended it to the paramount stage. As such, how could he not feel grateful and excited faced with such an opportunity?

‘My law of s.p.a.ce has been stagnant for a while now. This is a good chance for me to break through or at least move closer to the paramount stage…’

With his Sword Dao at the sixth stage, if Duan Ling Tian comprehended the law of s.p.a.ce to the paramount stage, he would be considered extraordinary even among peerless top advanced Supreme G.o.ds. Not only that, but if he directly broke through and became a supreme powerhouse, he would be stronger than the current Xiao Tian Ci. After all, Xiao Tian, who comprehended the law of death to the paramount stage and the Sword Dao to the fifth stage, was a demi Saint. As such, with his Sword Dao at the sixth stage, if Duan Ling Tian comprehended the law of s.p.a.ce to the paramount stage, he would become a Saint just like how Xiao Tian Ci would become a Saint as soon as his Sword Dao reached the sixth stage.
