“It’s because Fang Xingjian has also attained the Divine level! He has succeeded in his attempt to strive for the Divine level!”

Dongfang Ling’s gaze narrowed and he said nonchalantly, “To think that he managed to reach the Divine level one step faster than me… As expected of someone I acknowledge as a rival. Excellent, excellent. This pressure is just right as motivation for me to help me strive for my goal to reach the Divine level.

“I must attain the Divine level before the agreed date of our battle and then defeat thim thereafter.”

The young man hesitated for a moment before asking, “Teacher, you’ve arranged a battle with Fang Xingjian?”

Dongfang Ling nodded, speaking with an unprecedented solemness, “I’ve already sent him a challenge for a fight in ten days. Within ten days, I’ll definitely succeed in reaching the Divine level and with my Divine level abilities, I will have exchanges in martial arts with him, acquainting my saber with his sword.

“This pressure has come very timely. Right now, in my attempt to strive for the Divine level, i exactly the kind of pressure that I need.”

His tone was filled with confidence. In fact, given the level of cultivation he had reached, it was impossible for him to be lacking in confidence. Without having confidence in himself, how could he possibly have reached this stage in his cultivation?

Hearing Dongfang Ling’s words, the young man’s countenance turned pale and a hint of hesitation appeared on his face. However, in the end, he still could not help but say, “But… but when Xia was killed by Fang Xingjian, it was said that he had already reached the second tier of the Divine level and had grasped the techniques of disintegrating his body and moving at light speed.”

“Hmmm?” Dongfang Ling’s brows were now deeply furrowed. He looked at his student in slight disbelief, keeping quiet for very long, and then asked, “Are you sure?”

The young man nodded, “It’s the truth. Many influences have verified this piece of information. Although Fang Xingjian is only at the first tier of the Divine level, he already has the ability to face a second tier Divine level expert head-on.”

Dongfang Ling’s eyes narrowed and he fell silent again.

The young man stood by the side, sensing that the atmosphere was extremely depressing.

After very long, Dongfang Ling’s voice sounded as if it came from beyond the heavens, entering the young man’s consciousness, as he said, “What are you still waiting here for?”

“Huh?” The young man looked at Dongfang Ling, puzzled.

“Give chase to Dongfang Wei,” Dongfang Ling said calmly. “Tell him to not send the letter of challenge.”

“Yes.” The young man nodded and immediately set out again.

One day later, Dongfang Ling announced that he was going into seclusion and that he would never come out unless he had succeeded in attaining the Divine level.

…

While countless influences across the entire Empire were in a great commotion over the news of Fang Xingjian killing Xia…

In an oasis of the Empire’s Eastern Sand Region, which had not been recorded on any maps, there were pavilions and buildings, attendants scurrying everywhere. It was a prosperous market.

On the vast training ground, several thousand youngsters were practising martial arts in a polished synchronization. They were all at the level of a Knight.

The ground that they were stepping on was extremely sturdy from having been stomped on, similar to hardened cement. This was the result of countless generations of people practicing hard, day and night.

This oasis, similar to a utopia, was where the descendants of the Tianmen Dignitary, one of the seven great clans, lived in seclusion. It was also where the mysterious young man from the Hades Vault incident, Rona, had been born and raised.

Every since this oasis had been constructed by the Tianmen Dignitary, his descendents had kept it running for 200 years. It had now become a concealed and independent country within the Empire’s land.

Each generation of people from this clan who headed out in the world made names for themselves in the Empire. Compared to the other seven great clans, they could be said to have control over a tremendous amount of resources in the Empire, albeit in the dark. They sustained the livelihoods of their clan, passed down the legacies of the Divine level expert’s martial arts, and then nurtured generations and generations of geniuses.

And the mysterious young man, Rona, was the most outstanding genius in his generation, within the Tianmen Clan.

In a meeting room located at the center of the oasis, an intense discussion about Rona was taking place.
