4628 A Hundred Years Later
Even after gaining a better understanding of the mysterious places from Agu Li, Duan Ling Tian was still not interested. Nothing was more important to him now than to grow stronger. He would rather use the time and energy he had to study the Void Elder’s memories. It was best if he could become as strong as the Void Elder as soon as possible or even surpass the Void Elder. At that time, it would not be too late to explore those mysterious places when he was free and bored.

‘Now that the fifth level-seven supreme powerhouse appeared, there’ll be more and more level-seven supreme powerhouses…’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself as his eyes glinted fiercely, ‘They better not cause any trouble. Otherwise, I won’t hesitate to kill them!’

With his current strength and the speed of his growth, Duan Ling Tian was not afraid of ordinary level-seven supreme powerhouses at all.

…

After three months, Agu Li visited Duan Ling Tian again.

“Brother Duan, I visited many of those mist-shrouded places, including the ones in the Transcendence World. I discovered that the nine entrances there indeed lead to the same place. Similarly, those creatures guarding the entrances were also the same!” Agu Li said with a fervent gaze, “Although the nine creatures are strong, if we, the level-seven supreme powerhouses, join forces, I’m confident we’ll be able to kill them. Before I came to you, I visited Brother Meng in the Outer Boundary’s Jade Tide Mansion. He said that as long as you agree, he’ll also agree to make a move. Why don’t all of us join forces?”

Agu Li really wanted to know what lay behind the entrances that those creatures guarded. He also wondered if his cultivation would benefit from it. However, even if it was not beneficial to his cultivation, he would be happy as long as his curiosity and obsession was satisfied. Although he was certain the entrances led to the same place, ultimately, it was just a speculation. Unless he could confirm it for himself, he could not be 100% certain.
Currently, there were five level-seven supreme powerhouses in the Myriad Worlds and the Outer Boundary: Feng Qing Yang, Duan Ling Tian, Meng Han, Lei Hong, and Agu Li.

Meng Han had expressed that he would follow Duan Ling Tian’s decision. As for Feng Qing Yang, who was Duan Ling Tian’s master, if Duan Ling Tian agreed, it was likely that Feng Qing Yang would agree as well. Since Lei Hong and Duan Ling Tian had enmity between them, Agu Li dismissed the idea of asking for Lei Hong’s help. According to his speculation, the four of them should be enough to deal with the nine creatures.

At this time, Duan Ling Tian shook his head and said, “Brother Agu Li, I have no interest in this matter for the time being.”

He could see from Agu Li’s expectant gaze that Agu Li was obsessed with that mysterious place. Alas, he did not share Agu Li’s enthusiasm. Who knew if there was an even more terrifying existence in that place?

With his current strength, he did not have to be afraid of those nine creatures. However, who knew what else was there in that place? The gatekeepers were already so powerful. It stood to reason that there were even more powerful creatures.

This was also a big part of the reason for his lack of interest in that place. He only wanted to study the Void Elder’s memories now. He would explore that place once he was as strong as the Void Elder.

“Brother Duan…” Agu Li continued to persuade Duan Ling Tian due to his obsession with that place. After Duan Ling Tian refused him, he promised the latter many benefits. Although they were not very useful to Duan Ling Tian, they were very useful to his family.

Alas, Duan Ling Tian did not need those things for the time being. Even if he needed them, he could easily exchange for them with various world-rank and saint-rank forces.

In the end, seeing that he would not be able to convince Duan Ling Tian to join him, Agu Li could only leave. However, his expression turned dark as soon as he left the God Defying World.

“I can’t believe Duan Ling Tia would refuse me so vehemently. I was already very humble as a level-seven supreme powerhouse when I spoke to him, and yet, he still refused me!”

Although Agu Li was upset with Duan Ling Tian, he had no intention of making an enemy out of Duan Ling Tian.

Previously, when he went to look for Meng Han to speak to the latter about this matter, Meng Han had clearly expressed his stance. Duan Ling Tian had helped him to enter the Heaven Traversing Pagoda first, which resulted in a great benefit, so he stood on Duan Ling Tian’s side unconditionally. In fact, as long as Duan Ling Tian asked, he would not even hesitate to join hands with Duan Ling Tian to deal with Lei Hong.

In conclusion, among the five existing level-seven supreme powerhouses, two of them; Feng Qing Yang and Meng Han, were on Duan Ling Tian’s side. Even if Lei Hong agreed to join forces with Agu Li, just the two of them still would not be able to deal with those creatures.

‘It seems like I can only wait until there are more level-seven supreme powerhouses. At that time, I’ll persuade them to join hands with me to explore that mysterious place. There might be a huge fortuitous encounter waiting for us there. Who knows I might even be able to catch up to or surpass Duan Ling Tian and the others despite breaking through later…’

Agu Li felt impatient again when he thought about this. However, he still managed to restrain himself. Even if he managed to convince others to join him in the future, he still had to prioritize his life. A huge fortuitous encounter was great, but his life was more important.

…

In the God Defying World, Duan Ling Tian continued to study the Void Elder’s memories, and his strength was gradually increasing. He did not encounter any trouble during the process. Before becoming as strong as the Void Elder, it was unlikely that he would encounter any trouble in his cultivation.

During this time, his family members also sought help from him. He would send his doppelganger from the law of time to help them while he continued to cultivate.

…

Time flew by, and in just a blink of an eye, another 100 years had passed.

On this day, there was a huge commotion in the Myriad World and the Outer Boundary due to the familiar phenomenon that appeared in the sky. Two heavenly texts appeared consecutively, announcing the success of someone’s success in overcoming the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation and becoming the sixth level-seven supreme powerhouse after the gap in history.
