In the Divine Land, the most powerful people were Triple Dao Merging powerhouses, followed by Dao Merging powerhouses who managed to merge new and unique Daos.
Although Duan Ling Tian had entered the Dao Merging realm, the Limitless Sword Dao was not a new Dao in the Divine Land. As such, the Dao Merging Energy he could harness from the path of the Limitless Sword Dao was limited.
It was only natural that the other person who had also merged the Limitless Sword Dao wanted to get rid of Duan Ling Tian. After all, even Duan Ling Tian was unhappy about this matter. His mood worsened when he learned that the other party's grandfather was a Triple Dao Merging powerhouse and that he might be targeted. With this, the longing for power rose again in his heart. He was determined to merge the Limitless Sword Dao with his Mastery Dao, forging a new path for himself in the Divine Land. Currently, his Mastery Dao had reached the eighth stage; once it reached the ninth stage, he would be able to merge three Daos and become a Triple Dao Merging powerhouse.
'I hope he stays rational and doesn't provoke me. Otherwise, it won't matter if he has a grandfather who's a Triple Dao Merging powerhouse. I'll still kill him!' Duan Ling Tian thought to himself as his eyes shone with killing intent. He was not a pushover after all. Otherwise, he would not have been able to come so far. His cultivation journey was one that was filled with bloodshed after all.
Duan Ling Tian took a deep breath before he looked at Jiang Tian Zheng and continued to inquire about his possible enemy. When he learned that the other party had a big family, he felt slightly relieved. At the very least, he did not have to worry about the other party venting his anger on his family and friends if the other party could not find him.
Jiang Tian Zheng and the other two spoke very frankly and rea.s.sured Duan Ling Tian. They told him that the other party had more wives and children than Duan Ling Tian did and that usually, the other party was not someone who acted recklessly. Moreover, conflicts between Dao Merging powerhouses that implicated their respective family and friends would incur displeasure from other Dao Merging powerhouses, especially those with families of their own. Although it was easy for a Dao Merging powerhouse to lose reason and vent his or her anger on the family and friends of another Dao Merging powerhouse, they all adhered to the unspoken rule of not implicating their enemy's family and friends.
At this moment, Jiang Tian Zheng said, "Brother Duan, if you're still worried, why don't you bring your family to the imperial city? I'll watch over them on your behalf."
"Thank you, Brother Jiang," Duan Ling Tian said, sincerely expressing his grat.i.tude. His family and friends were definitely safer with Jiang Tian Zheng's protection after all.
In fact, even if Duan Ling Tian did not have to go into hiding, he had no plans of staying in the Surging River Divine Kingdom. This was because after he entered the Dao Merging realm, he felt the aura of his homeland. He naturally knew that it was the aura of the damaged Life Creation Chart. Needless to say, he was surprised. After all, based on his knowledge, the master of the Life Creation Chart, whom everyone thought of as 'heaven' in the Myriad Worlds and the Outer Boundary, was ambushed and narrowly escaped death with the damaged Life Creation Chart in his hands. After that, the other party disappeared without a trace. To this day, no one had been able to find him. However, after entering the Dao Merging realm, Duan Ling Tian could sense the other party's location. To be precise, he could sense the location of the Life Creation Chart.
After bidding farewell to the trio, Duan Ling Tian used his Limitless Sword Dao and flew toward the Distinct Province. With the Dao Merging Energy, it would not take long for him to arrive at the Duan Residence.
'Is that person using the Dao Merging Energy now?'
Just as Duan Ling Tian was approaching the Distinct Province, he felt the energy from his Limitless Sword Dao weaken. It was not difficult for him to figure out that another person was also using the Limitless Sword Dao at this moment.
…
Meanwhile, in an ancient city nestled deep in the mountains far away from the Surging River Divine Kingdom.
A person stood in the air as terrifying sword rays flew around him, making others afraid to approach him. He was a young man dressed in a long cyan robe. He looked dignified, and he had an extraordinary bearing. At this moment, a frown could be seen on his face as he muttered to himself, "Someone has also entered the path of the Limitless Sword Dao?"
Although a phenomenon appeared during Duan Ling Tian's breakthrough, it was only visible in the Surging River Divine Kingdom and its surrounding areas. It was naturally impossible for the phenomenon to be visible in such a distant place. Moreover, news of Duan Ling Tian's breakthrough had yet to spread to this place. Even so, it was not difficult for him to find out that someone had also mastered the Limitless Sword Dao once he tried to mobilize the Dao Merging Energy from the Limitless Sword Dao.
"Who is it?"
The young man's expression was gloomy and his gaze was cold. After all, this was undoubtedly a huge problem for him.
"In the Divine Land, those with the potential to enter the Dao Merging realm know that I master the Limitless Sword Dao! How dare someone choose to master the Limitless Sword Dao as well? Does he think I'm a pushover?"
