War God Supreme-Chapter 35
Chapter 35
“The three-thousand-year-old White Cloud Flower?”
“You’ve been to Sky Devil Valley?!”
Both Bai Yan and Long Haotian were astonished, even more so than the time Tian He became the Warrior Ascendant. Sky Devil Valley, the forbidden ground of Eastern Spirit Greenland, was not only dangerous but difficult to gain access.
Like Hidden Dragon Isle, Sky Devil Valley would only open at a specific time, or else no one would be able to enter. However, they knew Tian He had a piece of treasure that was able to grant him entry.
“I’m much older than you all, and I’ve only 5 years of my life element left. If I don’t achieve the Warrior Ascendant level, I can only wait to perish.”
Tian He sighed. Warriors spent their time battling amongst the heavens, earth, and mortals whilst racing against time, chasing after their life elements. Even if one became the undefeated Warrior King, one could only crumble into a pile of yellow sand by the time they reached the end of their life.
The stronger one cultivated their warrior strength, the more life elements they would gain. The Warrior Apprentices, Warriors, and Warrior Spirits were basically normal humans. It was only when you reached the level of a Warrior King that you would be able to extend your life element to two hundred years.
As long as one achieved the Warrior King level and kept themselves safe from harm, one will get to live up to two hundred years.
That was twice the life of an average person and it was a reward tantalizing enough to drive everyone crazy to achieve attainment.
While a Warrior King could live up to two hundred years, a Warrior Ascendant could live up to three hundred. The rule for the following levels goes by this: the stronger you get, the longer your life. Legend says that Warrior Gods could live up to more than a thousand years. It remains a legend, but it was a dream that one could never give up on pursuing.
“Oh right, I forgot that you are almost 200 years old. If not for being a Warrior Ascendant, you would’ve perished long ago. Though, since you’re one now, you still have about 100 years left.”
Bai Yan let out a sigh as well. He and Tian He were good pals, but they had quite an age gap. Tian He was an old man who had lived for more than a century while he and Long Haotian were only in their sixties.
“Alright, let’s discuss for now so that when we meet the other sects from the three empires, we wouldn’t be seen as losers. There’s news that quite a few Warrior King Powerhouses have emerged in the three empires.”
Tian He was the strongest of them all. As a Warrior Ascendant Powerhouse, he was qualified to be in command of the entire sect. It was only natural that everyone would follow him..
The Warrior Kings — Celestial Fairy Qing Ling, Celestial Fairy Bai Ling, Long Haotian, and the rest from Sky Cloud Sect grounded their respective swift boats and began the discussion.
“According to a reliable source, the sects in the other three empires have at least a Warrior King level disciple. On top of that, there are also four great mysterious clans that are observed to be equally strong. What’s scarier is that we have no idea how great their underlying power is.”
Tian He revealed the news he got from his own sect. Green Jade Sect was not only part of the four superpowers in Sky Dragon Empire, but was also the leading sect amongst the four in terms of strength.
With Zhou Yun’s explanation, Li Lingtian began to understand the distribution of powers within the Sky Dragon Empire. Amongst the four, Green Jade Sect was the strongest, followed by Misty Pavillion, Radiant Sect, and Sky Cloud Sect.
Green Jade Sect and Sky Cloud Sect were on friendly terms, and the same went for Radiant Sect and Misty Pavillion. At the same time, numerous superclans sought connections to these four sects.
“When we were at Eastern Spirit Greenland, our Sky Dragon Empire was the weakest. I believe after this trip to Hidden Dragon Isle, there will be some changes within the Sky Dragon Empire.”
Radiant Sect’s Long Haotian was serious as he uttered these words, his facial expressions gravely solemn. Though Radiant Sect had a few powerful Tier Nine Warrior Spirit disciples, they were nothing when compared to the Warrior King Powerhouses.
“It is terrifying to know one could achieve the Warrior King level before the age of 30. These Warrior King disciples entering the Hidden Dragon Isle are definitely unrivaled.”
Celestial Fairy Qing Ling lost her initial calm and started worrying about her disciples at Misty Attic, but more importantly she was worrying about the resources that were with them. If those were taken away by the other three great empires, the powers of the Sky Dragon Empire will be greatly suppressed.
“Does Senior Brother Tian He have any good ideas?”
Bai Yan dared not address Tian He as ‘old b*stard’ anymore even though they were quite friendly. This was a world that respected the powerful, and since Tian He’s Warrior Ascendant level up, their social distance grew further as the power gap between them both was greatly widened.
“What ideas are there to be had? A Warrior Spirit will stand no chance against a Warrior King. It’s suicidal! Wait, there are also Warrior level disciples? Damn it, Bai Yan, what the hell is Sky Cloud Sect up to?”
Tian He flew into a rage when he saw Li Lingtian and his dozen Warrior level disciples. He was undoubtedly triggered because, during this critical juncture, the Sky Dragon Empire’s powers must stand united, yet Sky Cloud Sect had brought along his Warrior level disciples.
As someone with a Fire-path Warrior Soul, Tian He burst into flames out of rage. Everywhere within a hundred-meter radius was momentarily turned into a flaming abyss. That had numerous disciples terrified as beads of sweat rolled off their bodies.
Much to everyone’s surprise, there was a Warrior level disciple who did not budge nor show any level of discomfort. Quite the opposite. He even seemed to enjoy the surrounding fiery aura.
“What the hell, a Flaming Sacred Body.”
Tian He threw a sharp glance at Li Lingtian and roared excitedly as if he saw some great treasure and then slithered forwards to him.
“The disciple hereby meets his senior.”
Li Lingtian’s core trembled. The Warrior Ascendant Powerhouse’s strength was immense and it was not something a Warrior like himself could withstand. Even a smidge of the Warrior Ascendant’s repressive vigor would be above him.
“Be my disciple.”
A simple sentence as such had everyone witnessing the scene dumbfounded. Countless Warrior level disciples had envious looks on their faces at the offer. One could die happy if they were ever taken in as a disciple by a Warrior Ascendant Powerhouse.
One would be showered with resources, skills, and techniques. Not to mention, no one would dare pick a fight with a disciple of a Warrior Ascendant.
“What are you doing? Tian He, you old b*stard.”
The four elders, Bai Yan, Qing Ping, Liu Feng, and Zhu Tian vigilantly rushed forward to stand in between Li Lingtian and Tian He. Li Lingtian was the genius disciple that Sky Cloud Sect had waited for thousands of years. If they allowed the old b*stard to snatch such a talent, Sky Cloud Sect’s leader and the other Heavenly elders would definitely skin them alive.
They would dare disrespect Tian He just to protect this Warrior level weakling? The Warrior Kings and their Warrior Spirit disciples from the three other sects were astounded.
Tian He was taken aback as well. The four elders’ first reaction was to bolt over and safeguard this Warrior level disciple. One would be a fool to not know what was happening here.
The other masters who had looked down on Li Lingtian’s Warrior level cultivation felt their world turning upside down. The Warrior Ascendant wanted to take this Warrior as a disciple, and yet the few elders stopped him from doing so. How great could this Warrior be?
The air was mysteriously still as everyone stared at Li Lingtian and Tian He.
“What’s your name? Would you want me as your master? You, with the Flaming Sacred Body, if you would take me as your master, I’ll bestow upon you the Heaven and Earth Conflagration.”
Tian He ignored Bai Yan and the other elders. He asked away with a prideful smile, his eyes fixed on Li Lingtian. The Warrior Ascendant was being nice. Not even a Warrior Spirit or Warrior King would reject his offer, let alone a Warrior.
“Heaven and Earth Conflagration?”
“The Earth Tier inferior skill, Heaven and Earth Conflagration!”
“It’s an Earth Tier skill, the Heaven and Earth Conflagration.”
A few Warrior Kings exclaimed in surprise. Their Warrior Spirit disciples might have not known what that was, but they knew — Heaven and Earth Conflagration was Tian He’s greatest skill, a proof of his Earth Tier inferior level.
Even if they were the Four Great Sects, none had such a skill in their possession. Even if they had, it could only be cultivated by a Warrior Ascendant Powerhouse.
Everyone became even more envious than ever, but they all felt happy for this warrior. His status was elevated in a snap and he was about to be granted an Earth Tier skill.
Li Lingtian said something that startled everyone. Dark shadows loomed across Bai Yan and the other elders’ faces.
Even though Sky Cloud Sect was great, a disciple with a Flaming Sacred Body would have a better advantage if he took up the Heaven and Earth Conflagration skill. The elders thought Li Lingtian was bound to take up this offer.
