The Ascending Clouds Sage, the Strongest Powerhouse in the Distinct Province

Duan Ling Tian still had many questions. Why was it that the nine mysterious entrances to the Divine Land did not exist before the history gap, when the Void Elder was alive? Why did heaven purge the world before the historical gap but not after? Why was it so difficult to enter the realm of level-seven supreme powerhouses after the historical gap? Why did heaven make it easier for others to become level-seven supreme powerhouses after he and Feng Qing Yang became one? It seemed like heaven did a complete turn and wanted to produce more level-seven supreme powerhouses. Last but not least, why did the nine mysterious entrances suddenly disappear one after another?

In fact, Duan Ling Tian was right about his speculation regarding the newest entrances to the Heaven Traversing Pagoda that appeared previously. Yu Luo He had used them to lure cultivators, who wanted to become stronger, into the pagoda to raise his own strength. Even now, when he recalled the horrifying screams of agony and the scene of destruction of the Heaven Traversing Pagoda before the collapse of the Solitary Destructive Heaven and the space, chills still ran up his spine.

After listening to Yan Hu and the others and obtaining some information, Duan Ling Tian said, "Thank you, Clan Leader Yan."

Yan Huo shook his head and said with a smile, "Sir, there's no need to thank me. What I did is far less than what you'd done for me," Yan Hu said sincerely.

Now that Duan Ling Tian helped the Yan clan to protect the sword- shaped jade pendant that contained the Sword Dao, it was possible that the Yan clan might have a supreme Dao powerhouse in the future. With that, the Yan clan would dominate Peace City, which would undoubtedly be a great blessing.

After seeing Yan Hu and the others out, Duan Ling Tian returned to his courtyard and recounted what he had heard to his wives. Unsurprisingly, his wives were astonished by what they heard.

"I didn't expect that something like the Life Creation Chart existed. I can actually create a new world..."

"Then, is it really true that the Myriad Worlds and the Outer Boundary were created by the Life Creation Chart? Was the creator from the Divine Land and the owner of the Life Creation Chart?"

"No wonder we can't sense the laws here. As it turns out, laws only exist in worlds created by the Life Creation Chart."

...

The next day, Duan Ling Tian also told his parents about what he had learned, and they were also shocked. They did not expect that the Realms of Gods, Devata Realms, mundane realms, and everything else were created by a supreme powerhouse in the Divine Land using the Life Creation Chart.

"Father, Mother, I plan to bring everyone to the capital city of Distinct Province," Duan Ling Tian said, "The capital city is the most prosperous place in Distinct Province. After being forced out of my Little World, if Si Nian and Si Ling were also sent to Distinct Province, it's likely they are in the capital city. Let's stay there for a while to see if we can find them."

Duan Ling Tian had already come up with a plan. After arriving in the capital city of the Distinct Province, he planned to temporarily settle down there. He planned to make a name for himself there, hoping that his family members who were separated from him would hear about him and look for him. If he was famous enough, his fame might even spread beyond Distinct Province, spreading to the ears of his family members who were outside of Distinct Province.

Duan Ling Tian's parents' eyes lit up when they learned about his plan.

"That's a good plan..."

"Indeed. With this, hopefully, we'll be able to find our grandchildren soon..." Li Rou said. She was genuinely worried about her grandchildren, and it had affected her sleep recently.

...

After spending another day in Peace City, Duan Ling Tian obtained a map and left the city with his family for the capital city of Distinct Province. To speed up their journey, he carried everyone. However, even with his speed, it still took them almost ten days to reach their destination. It could be seen how big the Distinct Province was. However, it had to be said that he would stop to rest every night in a city and only travel during the day. If laws existed in this place, and Duan Ling Tian's speed was like when he was in the Myriad Worlds and the Outer Boundary, they would have arrived in just a day or two.

Duan Ling Tian and the others did not feel much when they arrived in the capital city. After all, they had seen cities that were larger, grander, and busier than the capital city of Distinctt Province.

"Let's find an inn first," Duan Ling Tian said.

After finding an in to settle down, Duan Ling Tian went out alone to gather information. He wanted to find out about the number of major forces in the capital city and how strong their strongest powerhouses were.

When he was still in Peace City, he had learned about the classification of cultivation in the Divine Land. Based on the classification here, he was at the eighth Dao Establishment stage. To reach this stage, one had to comprehend a Dao of Heaven and Earth to the eighth stage. Cultivators at this stage were not as powerful as level-eight supreme powerhouses were in the Myriad Worlds and the Outer Boundary. They only had a slight advantage against a level-seven supreme powerhouse from the Outer Boundary and the Myriad Worlds because those from the Outer Boundary and the Myriad Worlds could use the laws.

"The strongest powerhouse in the Distinct Province is only at the sixth Dao Establishment stage?'

With this, Duan Ling Tian knew that his plan had a higher chance of success. As long as defeated the strongest person in the capital city of Distinct Province, he would become the strongest person in the province. This would naturally give him fame. With fame, his family and friends who were separated from him would hear about him and come looking for him.

'I'm also curious about the abilities of the cultivators in the Divine Land...'

....

After learning about the strongest powerhouse in the capital of Distinct Province and the sect that the other party belonged to, Duan Ling Tian returned to the inn. He bade farewell to his family before he made his way to the Misty Cloud Sect.

The Misty Cloud Sect was located a hundred miles to the east of the capital city of Distinct Province. It was nestled within the mountains, and it was like a paradise. However, in comparison to the top forces in the Outer Boundary and the Myriad Worlds, it was still a bit lacking.

Duan Ling Tian stood with his hands on his back as he hovered in the air in front of the entrance of the Misty Cloud Sect. He said loudly, "I'm Duan Ling Tian, a wandering sectless cultivator from the countryside. I came today to challenge the Ascending Clouds Sage of the Misty Cloud Sect to replace him as the strongest person in the Distinct Province!"

Duan Ling Tian's thunderous voice swept through the entire Misty Crowd Sect, shocking everyone.

The disciples guarding the entrance were also shocked. Although they had met many cultivators who came to challenge the elders of their sect, they had never met anyone so bold as to challenge the strongest person in their sect. Moreover, the other party did so in such a direct and domineering manner.
