Chapter 4662 The Day of the Decisive Battle
When Feng Qing Yang arrived in the capital of the Surging River Divine Kingdom, there were also many surviving Supreme Gods and supreme powerhouses from the God Defying World who had also found their way here. They did not care about anything else and went to look for Duan Ling Tian immediately. In this completely unfamiliar world, they had no sense of security. Although supreme powerhouses were considered strong, in the Surging River Divine Kingdom, this was not the case. In the Surging River Divine Kingdom, one had to comprehend the Dao to the fourth stage at least to be considered powerful. In some places, one had to comprehend the Dao to the sixth stage at least to be the strongest.
When Duan Ling Tian met these people, he told them that he had made arrangements for them in the Duan Residence in the Distinct Province and that they could go there. He had yet to make any arrangements in the capital.
The group of people from the God Defying World prepared to leave the River Province and make their way to the Distinct Province after listening to Duan Ling Tian. In the Distinct Province, they would have the protection of a level-seven Dao Establishment powerhouse, who was also a 'fellow countryman'. In their opinion, this was the best way for them to survive in this new world.
One of them asked Duan Ling Tian, "Lord Duan, do you think we have a chance of going back to our world?"
Duan Ling Tian shook his head, not giving the other party much hope. He told the other party that the probability of them returning to their world was very low.
Perhaps they would have a chance of returning if Duan Ling Tian managed to obtain the Life Creation Chart, but that was a matter for the future. For now, he still had a very long way to go.
Duan Ling Tian had asked Hong Dong Chuan about Yu Luo He, the new owner of the Life Creation Chart, and he learned that Yu Luo He was a formidable powerhouse who had merged the Daos and was in the process of merging another one. If he were successful, his strength would increase significantly. At that time, he would be among the strongest people in the Divine Land.
It was extremely difficult to merge the Daos; it was as difficult as ascending to the heavens. One could only imagine how difficult it was to merge another fusion Dao. Moreover, the second fusion Dao he wanted to merge was very unique.
The forbidden Sacrificial Dao could only be comprehended by the owner of the Life Creation Chart. As such, only the owner of the Life Creation Chart could merge this unique Dao. According to Hong Dong Chuan, the strongest powerhouse in the Hong clan, there were only two known people in the entire Divine Land who had successfully merged two fusion Daos. Perhaps there were others who had succeeded but had kept a low profile, but even then, their number was likely very small.
Once the owner of the Life Creation Chart successfully merged the Sacrificial Dao, not many people would be able to stop him from further comprehending the Sacrificial Dao.
One of the main reasons it was extremely difficult for cultivators to merge a second fusion Dao was due to their limited lifespan. They were not immortals after all. On the contrary, in the worlds created by the Life Creation Chart, cultivators could achieve near immortality thanks to the laws.
In the Divine Land, there were no Heavenly Tribulations, but one's lifespan was limited. For cultivators from the Outer Boundary and the Myriad Worlds who were nearing the end of their lives, they would not live for very long after coming to the Divine Land. This was because 'immortality' did not exist in the Divine Land like it did in the Outer Boundary and the Myriad Worlds.
After learning about this matter from Hong Dong Chuan, Duan Ling Tian also knew that many formidable supreme powerhouses and cultivators from the Myriad Worlds and the Outer Boundary who were old would likely die soon after they arrived at the Divine Land.
Duan Ling Tian and his family did not need to worry about this problem for now because they were considered 'young'. It was not a problem for them to live for tens of thousands of years even if they did not comprehend the Dao. If they comprehended the Dao, it was possible to live for more than a hundred thousand years.
Among the group of people from the God Defying World, most of those who left for the Distinct Province were Supreme Gods. As for the supreme powerhouses, they were not in a rush to leave the capital. They were all waiting to watch the fierce battle between Duan Ling Tian and Hong Dong Chuan, which would take place in three days, hoping to gain some insight from it.
As for the Supreme Gods who left, they were very aware of their strength. They knew they would not be able to capture Duan Ling Tian and Hong Dong Chuan's movements even if they stayed to watch the battle. Instead of wasting time here, it was better for them to head to the Distinct Province and cultivate to grow stronger. Although they would not have to undergo the Heavenly Tribulations in the Divine Land, there was a limit to their lifespan. To avoid growing old and dying, the only way was to grow stronger.
…
Time passed quickly. Only three days were left before it was time for Duan Ling Tian and Hong Dong Chuan's battle.
The capital of the Surging River Divine Kingdom was bustling and saw an increase in the number of people. Many people came to watch the duo's battle at the Towering Heaven Peak. On this day, an unexpected visitor came to look for Duan Ling Tian.
"Greetings, sir."
"You came as well?" Duan Ling Tian was surprised.
The other party was none other than the Ascending Clouds Sage from the Misty Cloud Sect.
The Ascending Clouds Sage said, "Yes. After all, I can't miss the battle between you and Senior Hong Dong Chuan. My Sword Dao is just a step away from the seventh stage. I have a feeling that I'll be able to break through after watching your battle…"
The Ascending Clouds Sage was very excited when he spoke, and he sounded very confident.
"In that case, I'll congratulate you in advance," Duan Ling Tian said with a smile. He had a good impression of the Ascending Clouds Sage. Although he had helped the Ascending Clouds Sage a lot, the Ascending Clouds Sage had also helped him a lot, relieving him of many responsibilities. It was only when more and more people from the Outer Boundary and Myriad Worlds came to him that the Ascending Clouds Sage finally withdrew.
"Sir, I have confidence in you. I have a very strong feeling that you'll win the battle," the Ascending Clouds Sage said.
Duan Ling Tian only shook his head and smiled in response. However, he thought to himself that the Ascending Clouds Sage's intuition was quite good.
The Ascending Clouds Sage did not stay for long and quickly bid farewell to Duan Ling Tian, leaving Duan Ling Tian to prepare for the battle that would take place in three days.
After the Ascending Clouds Sage left, Duan Ling Tian continued to meditate by a pond in the courtyard, comprehending his Sword Dao.
'I wonder when my Sword Dao will advance to the ninth stage… Although I have the memories of the Void Elder who comprehended the Sword Dao to the ninth stage, it's not easy to break through…'
…
Three days passed very quickly, and in just a blink of an eye, it was the day of the decisive battle!
