The fact that the Ouyang family was wiped out only made Duan Lingtian a little surprised and surprised, and he soon put the matter behind him. ￠￡,
However, the next thing made him feel very bad.
"That Huang Cheng disappeared without a trace after leaving his post without permission?"
The last thing Duan Lingtian wanted to happen happened. The elder of the outer sect of Yueyao Sect, Huang Cheng, who originally wanted to kill him, chose not to return to Yueyao Sect after his attempt to kill him failed.
"He must be worried that after I left, I would go back to Yueyao Sect and talk to Senior Brother Li about his intention to kill me."
Duan Lingtian is almost certain of this.
Although Huang Cheng is only an outer elder, he can easily kill his senior brother 'Li Hong' at any time if he is willing.
You don't even have to do it yourself.
The days after Duan Lingtian returned to Yueyao Sect were not peaceful, at least not peaceful around him.
Just because, with the news that Ouyang's family was wiped out, the news that he had broken through to the 'Sacred Realm' also swept through like a hurricane, spreading throughout the entire Yueyao Sect and shocking the entire Yueyao Sect.
"Oh my God! Someone tell me, this is fake news!"
Many inner disciples wailed.
These inner disciples were all those who had witnessed Duan Lingtian's defeat of 'He Zhong' and had investigated Duan Lingtian's cultivation in the process.
They were all certain that when Duan Lingtian defeated He Zhong, he was indeed only a perfect martial artist in the transcendent realm.
However, how long has passed before Duan Lingtian has already reached the 'Sacred Realm'?
"Could it be that Elder Li gave him some miraculous medicine and heaven and earth spiritual fruit?"
"I have never heard of any miraculous medicine or heaven and earth spiritual fruit that can make a person successfully break through from the mortal realm to the 'sacred realm' in just a few months!"
"Is that Duan Lingtian really a normal human being? Why do I feel like he is the incarnation of a god?"
"Don't get more outrageous... Maybe he had some adventure."
…
No matter what, the news about Duan Lingtian's breakthrough to the 'Sacred Realm' is a definite fact.
When Duan Lingtian showed his strength in entering the Saint Realm, not only many inner disciples of the Yueyao Sect were present, but also many people from the other eight major sects were present, so there was no way he could fake it.
For a time, the entire Yueyao Sect became angry because of Duan Lingtian.
If the Yueyao Sect before Duan Lingtian came here was a pool of stagnant water... then, now, Duan Lingtian has brought this pool of stagnant water to life.
"Junior Brother, have you... broken through to the Saint Realm?"
Li Hong, who had just heard the news, was also shocked and stunned.
Although some of the news spread outside was all because of him, Duan Lingtian's cultivation level improved so quickly and so exaggeratedly... However, only he himself knew that it was not his fault at all.
He doesn't have that ability yet.
"Um."
Facing Li Hong's inquiry, Duan Lingtian smiled and nodded.
For a moment, Li Hong also smiled bitterly with complicated eyes for a long time, "Junior brother, I thought that your talent in the holy pattern was enough to scare people, but I didn't expect that your talent in martial arts is so evil... No! This is already He’s not a monster, he should be ‘defying heaven’!”
In just a few short months, he has made a perfect breakthrough from the Saint Realm to the Saint Realm. Such an advancement is unparalleled!
Only Duan Lingtian knew that he did not achieve such a big breakthrough in just a few months.
Although his talent is good, it is more due to the extremely slow flow of time in the Seven Treasures Exquisite Tower, which provides him with a training environment that is unimaginable for ordinary people, allowing him to catch up with others in the shortest time, and even Outperform others.
"Junior brother, now that you have broken through to the 'Sacred Realm', you can already engrave the two-star holy pattern, right?"
Li Hong asked.
"Um."
Duan Lingtian nodded. When he first came back, he tried to engrave the two-star holy pattern. After failing several times, he succeeded.
"Can it be engraved with a trick pattern?"
Li Hong's eyes lit up and he asked.
"After I came back, I only deduced the method of engraving the two-star sacred pattern using the trick pattern, but I haven't really practiced it or tried it yet."
Duan Lingtian said.
"Am I lucky enough to observe?"
Li Hong asked with a smile.
"No problem at all."
Duan Lingtian agreed and at the same time began to try to engrave the 'two-star holy pattern' using the trick pattern technique in front of Li Hong.
The materials needed to engrave sacred patterns using the trick pattern technique are less than half of those required by the orthodox technique.
After several experiments, Duan Lingtian finally successfully carved a 'two-star holy pattern' using the trick pattern technique. The materials consumed were less than half of the orthodox holy pattern inscription technique, saving more than half of the cost.
"Junior Brother Duan, you are really a genius with the sacred pattern!"
Li Hong couldn't help but sigh when he saw Duan Lingtian carving the two-star sacred pattern so quickly using the trick technique.
"I was originally thinking about how to persuade you to focus on the holy pattern... Now it seems that it is not necessary. Because whether it is your achievements in martial arts or your achievements in the holy pattern, they are very popular. Achievable.”
"Ordinary people may not be able to reach the peak of martial arts and holy patterns at the same time, but you can't."
As Li Hong spoke, he was full of confidence in Duan Lingtian, almost blind confidence.
"Senior brother, I am going to sign up to take the inner disciple examination... When will the inner disciple examination start?"
Duan Lingtian asked.
"Junior brother, with your current strength, it doesn't make much sense to take the inner disciple assessment... I'll just send someone over to get you an inner disciple identity token."
Li Hong said.
Duan Lingtian thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case.
With his current strength, even beings in the late stages of the Saint Realm do not pose much of a threat to him.
Therefore, he did not reject Li Hong's kindness.
"Junior brother, I remember you promised me that when you enter the inner gate one day, you will live here."
Li Hong narrowed his eyes and said.
"of course I remember."
Duan Lingtian nodded and smiled and said, "If senior brother doesn't dislike it, then from now on, I will stay with you."
"Haha... Okay! I have had your room prepared for you a long time ago, and it will be cleaned up every once in a while. You can take it."
After receiving Duan Lingtian's approval, Li Hong laughed and seemed very happy.
Hearing Li Hong's words, Duan Lingtian was moved and felt extremely warm.
"By the way. Did your trip to Hanhe City go well this time?"
Li Hong asked.
He knew nothing about what happened on Duan Lingtian's way to Hanhe City or what happened after he went to Hanhe City, because he hadn't had time to ask Duan Lingtian.
Even before that, he didn't even know that Duan Lingtian had left Yueyao Sect.
However, he did not blame Duan Lingtian because he knew the 'reason' why Duan Lingtian did what he did. It was simply that he did not want to trouble him and make him worry.
Duan Lingtian has long regarded Li Hong as his 'brother', although the age gap between the two is a bit exaggerated.
Therefore, he did not hide anything about his experiences along the way and told Li Hong one by one.
Of course, he downplayed the dangerous aspects.
However, even so, Delihong was still frightened.
"Huang Cheng, a mere outer sect elder dares to be greedy for you... Damn it! Don't worry, junior brother, I will mobilize my connections to find out Huang Cheng and bring him to you for your disposal! "
Li Hong was angry, really angry.
What if, at the beginning, he looked at Duan Lingtian in a different light just because Duan Lingtian could inherit the 'Art of Strange Patterns', and even considered Duan Lingtian as his 'junior brother'.
So, now, he has already regarded Duan Lingtian as his junior brother.
Not only because he is the one who inherited the 'Art of Weird Patterns', but also because his character is very suitable for his temper. When he was with Duan Lingtian, he even felt like he had gained a rare 'forever friend' .
When he learned that Duan Lingtian almost died in Huang Cheng's hands, he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart.
"Senior brother, calm down. For me, Huang Cheng is nothing to worry about."
Duan Lingtian smiled lightly and said confidently.
He was really confident in what he said.
With his current strength, he may not be able to compete head-on with Huang Cheng, but as long as he is given some time, he will definitely be able to surpass Huang Cheng in all aspects.
The cultivation environment on the third floor of the Qibao Exquisite Tower is not comparable to that on the second floor, and it is enough to help him soar into the sky!
"The man in black robe at the back, if I guess correctly, should be the killer of Yinshan Black Market."
Soon, Li Hong said solemnly, "Fortunately you met a noble person, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."
Duan Lingtian also came out about the black-robed killer.
However, he omitted the part about the 'Demon-Sealing Monument'. It was a strong man who happened to be passing by. When he saw an injustice on the way, he wiped out the man in black robe with the back of his hand.
"Yes, luckily I met that noble man... It's a pity that when I asked that noble man his name and where he was from, he didn't respond and left."
Duan Lingtian sighed, it really seemed like that was the case.
Naturally, Li Hong would not doubt Duan Lingtian's words, and nodded and said, "That noble man... is either a strong hermit, who usually lives in seclusion in our Nine Sect Alliance area, and lives in seclusion; or, he comes from a certain force, That force is at least on the same level as our Yueyao Sect."
"Listening to your account, the man in black robe who wants to kill you should be a 'Three-Star Killer' in the Yinshan Black Market... And that noble man can kill him with the palm of his hand, which shows that he is not an ordinary Saint Realm expert. ."
When Li Hong arrived later, his eyes showed a bit of gratitude, gratitude to that 'noble man'.
In the inner gate area, in a spacious mansion, after learning that Duan Lingtian not only returned safely, but also broke through to the 'Sacred Realm', Liu Huan was so angry that his face became gloomy and he was speechless for a while.
"Impossible! Impossible! He can't be alive!"
After a while, Liu Huan murmured, with a look of disbelief on his face.
