Tianyan Star

"Junior Ling Yan greets Senior. May I ask why you have personally visited?"

Upon seeing Yuan Tiangang, Ling Yan discarded all his previous thoughts.

He couldn't possibly fight back; the person before him was someone he couldn't even budge, even if he risked his life.

Ling Yan also knew that this person had a purpose for visiting, otherwise, he wouldn't have revealed himself and allowed Ling Yan to understand.

If he had attacked directly, no one here would have survived.

Even more so, this person hadn't killed Ling Ying, showing no killing intent. He still had a chance.

Hearing Ling Yan's words, the struggling Ling Feng and the contorted Ling Ying instantly quieted down.

Both felt a chill rush from the soles of their feet straight to the crown of their heads.

Bone-chilling cold, heart soaring.

No matter how you put it, his grandfather (the Old Ancestor) Ling Yan was a powerhouse at the mid-stage Celestial Phenomenon Realm. To call someone Senior, and for them to act like this...

A thought popped into their minds. They exchanged glances; neither was foolish. They silently lowered their heads and stopped moving.

At this moment, Ling Ying was stunned. I'm so amazing!

To withstand an attack from a Heavenly Being Realm expert and survive.

The Stone Buddha, at the peak Celestial Phenomenon Realm, survived an attack from a Heavenly Being Realm expert, and his name spread throughout the world.

I, at the peak Ascension Realm, survived an attack from a Heavenly Being Realm expert.

I'm even more amazing than the Stone Buddha.

Ling Ying knew very well that the person before him hadn't used any real strength. Otherwise, he would have died eight hundred times over by now.

Ling Ying could only lower his head and lie on the ground, hoping that this Senior wouldn't notice him anymore and would just let him go like a fart.

Seeing that they had quieted down, Ling Yan also breathed a sigh of relief. There was still hope.

Compared to his foolish grandson's struggle just now, he had no concept of this Senior, only knowing it was the power of the Heavenly Realm.

Ling Yan, however, knew very well that the person before him didn't wield the might of heaven and earth from the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, but the power of heaven and earth unique to the Heavenly Being Realm.

Celestial Phenomenon Realm: Comprehend the great laws of heaven and earth, with every move possessing the might of heaven and earth.

Heavenly Being Realm: Condense the great laws of heaven and earth within the body, forging a Heavenly Being physique, wielding the power of heaven and earth with ease.

"Not bad."

Yuan Tiangang stood opposite Ling Yan, looking at the exhausted and powerless young man before him.

He said softly.

"Of course, I'm talking about the clothes you're wearing. You're not."

Yuan Tiangang genuinely thought the clothes were good. He hadn't prepared any gifts for his Highness since arriving in this world.

The Daoist robe before him was a Divine Weapon, capable of both offense and defense, and could conceal one's aura. It was worthy of his Highness.

Ling Yan showed no other expression at Yuan Tiangang's words, still keeping his head down respectfully.

There was no other way; circumstances were stronger than people!

If he wasn't careful with a single glance, he might have to re-register.

"If Senior fancies it, this junior will gladly offer it with both hands. However, I do not know why Senior has come to find Ling Yan. Did someone in this mansion offend Senior?"

"Look up."

Upon hearing Yuan Tiangang's words, Ling Yan finally looked up. Through his mask, he met Yuan Tiangang's gaze. It was domineering, a gaze like the abyss that made Ling Yan tremble uncontrollably.

"Are you content?"

Ling Yan showed a wry smile. How could he be content? Who would be content?

But things had come to this. What could he do? He could only continue down this path.

Looking at Ling Yan's eyes, Yuan Tiangang already knew the answer.

Yuan Tiangang opened his right hand, and the Tui Bei Tu appeared. A red lotus emerged from the chart.

Ling Yan looked at the lotus before him. He naturally recognized it, his eyes filled with confusion.

"What does Senior mean by this?"

Meanwhile, the current Duke Protector Ling Feng and Ling Ying, who were still lying on the ground, exclaimed in unison:

"Earth Fire Condensed Lotus."

A flicker of desire flashed in their eyes before disappearing.

An item that could assist peak Ascension Realm experts in comprehending the Heavenly Dao was naturally something they both desired.

Ling Feng, in particular, couldn't take his eyes off the Earth Fire Condensed Lotus, even turning his head away, his gaze still drifting towards it.

A top-tier treasure of the fire element, naturally something he wanted. Ling Feng cultivated fire-element techniques.

No, to be precise, the Ling Family's ancestral cultivation technique was fire refinement.

If he, Ling Feng, possessed this item, when he reached the peak Ascension Realm, he would have a chance to enter the Celestial Phenomenon Realm. His confidence would be as high as ninety percent.

Ling Ying was merely shocked for a moment before glancing away. He didn't cultivate the fire attribute.

But he also wanted the Duke Fu's Mansion to produce another Celestial Phenomenon Realm expert! With the family head's talent, this item would absolutely allow him to reach the Celestial Phenomenon Realm from the peak of the Ascension Realm.

However, both of them knew this item was not something they could take; it was deadly.

Life is most important. As long as one is alive, there is still hope.

Yuan Tiangang paid no mind to the two of them. In fact, he had already withdrawn his oppressive aura, yet they were still kneeling.

Ling Feng, Ling Ying: "Senior, if you don't speak, who would dare move!"

"How about I help you cleanse the yin and evil energy from your body and use the Earth Fire Condensed Lotus to repair your foundation?"

Upon hearing this, a fiery glint flashed in Ling Yan's eyes. He was tempted.

Earth Fire Condensed Lotus! The treasure the ancestor had fought for to help him enter the Celestial Phenomenon Realm back then couldn't compare to this!

With a Heavenly Being Realm expert personally intervening, coupled with this treasure, Ling Yan might truly be able to return to his peak.

"Does Senior want this Duke Fu's Mansion?"

"Submit, and I can guarantee another Celestial Phenomenon Realm expert will emerge from your Ling Family. How about it?"

How about it? In truth, Ling Yan had already made up his mind the moment Yuan Tiangang offered to help him.

The Ling Family could not be without a Celestial Phenomenon Realm expert.

And Yuan Tiangang's subsequent words further solidified Ling Yan's decision.

The Duke Fu's Mansion actually had no other choice.

Looking at the yin and yang trigrams on the Tui Bei Tu, Ling Yan spoke:

"Senior, are you from the Xuantian Dao Sect?"

Yuan Tiangang did not answer. He circulated his cultivation technique, channeling True Qi into the Tui Bei Tu. A vast aura emanated, and the Tui Bei Tu emitted a dazzling light, its yin and yang trigram runes flickering unstably.

Yuan Tiangang sealed the space with the power of heaven and earth, which resonated with the runes on the Tui Bei Tu.

Ling Yan, Flying Eagle, and the others trembled. They all felt that immense aura. Simultaneously, Ling Yan and Flying Eagle collapsed to the ground.

It wasn't Yuan Tiangang's oppressive aura. Yuan Tiangang was even suppressing the Tui Bei Tu. The moment the Tui Bei Tu revealed a sliver of its aura, it was a tremor from the very source of their souls, irresistible, causing them to fall to the ground uncontrollably.

Yuan Tiangang quickly put away the Tui Bei Tu.

Ling Yan, sprawled on the ground, said with utter terror:

"Divine Weapon."

At this moment, Ling Yan knew Yuan Tiangang was not from the Xuantian Dao Sect. That was not a Divine Weapon of the Xuantian Dao Sect; its aura and cultivation technique were not.

It didn't even belong to any top-tier force he knew of.

Ling Yan's heart rejoiced at his choice. Yet, he also felt lingering fear and bitterness.

Senior, what merit do I, Ling Yan, possess to have a Heavenly Being Realm expert visit me with a Divine Weapon?

Am I worthy?

With your power level, you're enough to spar with the Dagan Imperial Clan.

"I come from Heaven Beyond Heaven, and I am the Hall Master of the Hidden Dragon Hall in Heaven Beyond Heaven. You should address me as Hall Master."

At this moment, Ling Yan had already made up his mind. He sat up, his trembling body still shaking, and knelt on one knee, bowing to Yuan Tiangang:

"Ling Yan pays his respects to the Hall Master."

Ling Feng, Ling Ying, and Flying Eagle nearby also bowed.

"We pay our respects to the Hall Master."

Yuan Tiangang took out a token from his embrace and threw it to Ling Yan.

"From this day forward, you belong to the Hidden Dragon Hall of Heaven Beyond Heaven, codenamed Tianyan Star."

Ling Yan took the token. He could feel its extraordinary nature. Its quality was not poor, and a mysterious, domineering energy flowed within it. Heaven Beyond Heaven is truly remarkable.

"Tianyan Star accepts the order."

If only Yuan Tiangang knew Ling Yan's inner thoughts, he might have chuckled.

That token was made from a small piece of iron crystal that Yuan Tiangang had kneaded, then refined with his own power, along with a trace of the power of heaven and earth.

Actually, it wasn't wrong. After all, it was kneaded by Yuan Tiangang himself, so it was indeed extraordinary.
