Chapter 4663 Old Man Crane
Near the Surging River Divine Kingdom’s Towering Heaven Peak.
A group of people had already gathered early in the morning, and as time passed, the crowd grew even bigger.
A few people flew over from the distance at this moment, and the old man in the lead caught many people’s attention.
“That’s Old Man Crane, the former Sect Leader of the Flying Crane Sect in the Judgment Province!”
The old man was dressed in a loose robe with a crane embroidered on it. Although he was old, his eyes shone with vitality. The contradiction of his physical appearance and his youthful temperament was rather interesting.
“Old Man Crane? He’s a level-seven Dao Establishment powerhouse, the strongest person in the Judgment Province, right?” someone asked. It was his first time seeing Old Man Crane, but he had long heard about Old Man Crane.
A long time ago, when Old Man Crane was only a level-five Dao Establishment cultivator, he had single-handedly defeated three cultivators who were on par with him. With that, he shot to fame overnight. Later on, as he grew stronger, he was also challenged by the many new level-seven Dao Establishment cultivators, and he defeated all of them, cementing his reputation.
In the Surging River Divine Kingdom, most provinces had many powerful cultivators who had comprehended the Dao to or above the seventh stage. Only remote provinces like the Distinct Province did not have such powerhouses. Needless to say, after the arrival of Duan Ling Tian and Zhao An Yi, the average strength of their respective provinces had increased greatly.
“I heard that Old Man Crane has comprehended his second Dao to the sixth stage. It’s said that’s why he’s so strong. I wonder if it’s true…”
“I think it’s true. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be acknowledged as one of the strongest level-seven Dao Establishment cultivators in the Surging River Divine Kingdom, right?”
While the others discussed among themselves, those who knew Old Man Crane approached him and greeted him respectfully. After all, they were weaker than him.
After Old Man Crane exchanged greetings with those who greeted him, he sat cross-legged in the air and began to meditate. Seeing this, many who wanted to greet him also dismissed this idea, not wanting to disturb him.
Shortly after, about a dozen people flew over from afar. Just like before, the person in the lead caught many people’s attention. The person was an energetic old man with a head full of white hair.
“Who’s that old man?” someone asked, puzzled.
“That’s the Azure Cloud Elder, the new strongest person from the Cloud Province. Haven’t you heard of him?” a cultivator from the Cloud Province asked, surprised.
“He’s the Azure Cloud Elder, the strongest person in the Cloud Province?”
“I heard that he’s really powerful. Not only did he defeat the former stronger person in the Cloud Province who was a level-six Dao Establishment powerhouse, but he also defeated a level-seven Dao Establishment cultivator from the Heavenly Province who came to challenge him!”
“He only became famous recently. I’d only heard of him until today…”
The Azure Cloud Elder was none other than Zhao An Yi from the Outer Boundary’s Azure Cloud Saint Sect. He was a level-seven supreme powerhouse who was acquainted with Duan Ling Tian. After becoming a level-seven supreme powerhouse, he visited Duan Ling Tian several times to discuss the Dao. Thanks to these visits, he had grown even more powerful.
In the past, the Outer Boundary had several level-seven supreme powerhouses. Zhao An Yi was among the strongest, and he was just below Xue Qing Zhu from the Jin Dynasty’s Thirteen Cities and a few others from the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion.
The people behind Zhao An Yi were from the Outer Boundary. When they heard about him, they quickly looked for him in the Cloud Province’s Azure Cloud Residence. When they learned that Duan Ling Tian was going to fight a level-eight Dao Establishment cultivator from the Surging River Divine Kingdom, they were all very excited and decided to follow Zhao An Yi here.
Due to these people’s presence, Zhao An Yi had yet to meet Duan Ling Tian after coming to the capital. After all, for their safety, he could not simply meet them. As such, he planned to catch up with Duan Ling Tian after the battle.
At this moment, one of the Saints behind Zhao An Yi asked, “My lord, do you think Lord Duan will win?”
Zhao An Yi replied, “We’ll know after we watch the fight. However, in my opinion, he’s bound to win.”
Zhao An Yi’s voice was not loud, but the surrounding powerful cultivators heard him clearly. Some of them thought that he thought too highly of Duan Ling Tian when they heard his words.
“It seems like the Azure Cloud Elder has a lot of confidence in Duan Ling Tian. Does he not know how formidable Senior Hong Dong Chuan is?”
“I heard the Azure Cloud Elder and Duan Ling Tian came from the same place. Rumors have it that they came from the world created by the Life Creation Chart. It’s only natural that he’s so confident about Duan Ling Tian…”
“The world created by the Life Creation Chart? The world created by Yu Luo He, the new owner of the Life Creation Chart? I heard he was severely injured and was forced to flee! I heard that several level-nine Dao Establishment powerhouses joined forces, but they still failed to capture him in the end. He even managed to flee with the damaged Life Creation Chart…”
Even Old Man Crane, who heard the conversations in the surroundings, opened his eyes and looked at Zhao An Yi.
More and more people looked at Zhao An Yi curiously when they heard that Zhao An Yi and Duan Ling Tian were suspected to have come from the world created by the Life Creation Chart.
Some people who were not familiar with the Life Creation Chart could not help but inquire about it and were shocked when they learned of the details.
“No wonder there was a sudden influx of level-seven Dao Establishment powerhouses in the Distinct Province and the Cloud Province… As it turns out, they’re all from the world created by the Life Creation Chart…”
“I heard that in the world created by the Life Creation Charts, thanks to the rules there, the cultivators could live as long as immortals…”
“Live as long as immortals? Is that true? In the Divine Land, even the strongest person who has merged the Daos can’t live for so long…”
At this time, Old Man Crane decided to approach Zhao An Yi.
“Greetings, Cultivator Zhao. I’m Luo Song.”
“Greetings, Cultivator Luo,” Zhao An Yi replied with a smile. He had heard about Luo Song from the people in his surroundings. He knew the other party was rather powerful so he was quite polite.
Luo Song did not beat around the bush and curiously asked, “Cultivator Zhao, is it true that you came from the world created by the Life Creation Chart?”
Just as Zhao An Yi was about to reply, he caught sight of someone from the corners of his eyes, and an expression of excitement appeared on his face immediately.
