Chapter 3318: Returning to Fresh Breeze Town, His Hometown

Duan Ling Tian had to admit that Hong Fei was incredibly efficient. A few days after his visit to the Thousand Chains Prison, Hong Fei sent him three Celestial Fruits that could boost the cultivation of Celestial Lords. Moreover, the three Celestial Fruits were rather rare fruits.

“Little Junior Brother, cultivate diligently. All of us are depending on you to make us proud when Eldest Senior Sister returns,” Hong Fei said. He was smiling so widely that his eyes looked as though they had disappeared into his chubby face.

“Thank you, Sixth Senior Brother.” Duan Ling Tian was sincerely grateful for Hong Fei’s help. He could not help but sigh inwardly. If he followed the World Cleansing Divine Water’s solution to save Huan’er’s parents, he knew it was inevitable that he would stand on opposing sides with Xu Lang and his seniors. He did not care about the people in the Heavenly Pool Palace except for Xu Lang and his seniors. If it was possible, he would rather choose another way that would not ruin his relationship with Xu Lang and his seniors. Alas, he had no other choice.

‘Huan’er, Brother Ling Tian will not disappoint you.’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself as he watched Hong Fei leave. He would begin to carry out his plan once he was called for duty in 11 months’ time.

Subsequently, Duan Ling Tian called out, “Huan’er, come with me.”

He led Huan’er out of the Heavenly Pool Palace’s estate before he made his way south. In the end, they finally came to a stop above a vast bamboo forest.

“Brother Ling Tian, why did you bring me here?” Huan’er looked at Duan Ling Tian in confusion. He did not say anything before he brought her here, after all.

Duan Ling Tian said with a smile, “Huan’er, didn’t you say you wanted to see the place where I grew up?”

“Yes.” Huan’er nodded.

“We’re going to the mundane realm.” Duan Ling Tian said.

“Alright.” Huan’er nodded. She knew Duan Ling Tian wanted to bring her out so she could relax.

Following that, Celestial Origin Energy surged out of Duan Ling Tian’s body before it dissolved into spots of starlight that gently fell on the bamboo forest.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

When the spot of light touched the bamboo forest, a gentle energy rippled out as a beam of light shone on Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er. When the light finally disappeared, the duo could no longer be seen.

Previously, Duan Ling Tian had asked for Hong Fei’s help to build a Transporting Formation in this bamboo forest that connected the Devata Realms and the mundane realms. He planned to travel to his hometown in the mundane realm that was known as the Saint Province Realm.

Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er’s visions turned black. When their visions returned to them, they found themselves hovering above the ocean. They could sense the extremely weak Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in the surroundings immediately. It was so weak that they felt rather uncomfortable. It took a while for them to get used to the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy.

‘Is this the secular karma that I heard of?’ Duan Ling Tian wondered inwardly. He could sense a strange energy trying to enter his body. Fortunately, it was easy for him to keep the strange energy at bay. This was his first time encountering this since it was also his first time returning to the mundane realm after ascending to a Devata Realm.

“Huan’er, don’t let that strange energy enter your body,” Duan Ling Tian reminded Huan’er, “This should be the secular karma in the mundane realm. If cultivators from Devata Realms fail to keep the energy at bay, it’ll negatively impact their cultivation in the future. There are some who not only fail to improve, but their cultivation base regressed as well…”

“Okay.” Huan’er nodded slightly. Similar to Duan Ling Tian, it was easy for her to stop the secular karma from entering her body.

“Let’s go. I’ll show you the place where I grew up.” Duan Ling Tian held Huan’er’s hand before he flew to his hometown, Fresh Breeze Town.

The duo arrived in just a blink of an eye.

Duan Ling Tian saw the town had changed since he was last here, but he was not surprised at the development. After all, it had been more than 200 years since he was last here. It would have been strange if Fresh Breeze Town did not change at all.

“Huan’er, this is where I grew up,” Duan Ling Tian said as he led Huan’er around, “There was a granny who used to sell sugar-glazed candies here… There was an old man who used to sell candies there as well… They’re long gone now that more than 200 years have passed…”

Duan Ling Tian sighed inwardly when he finished speaking. It was not just the vendors, perhaps, most of his friends in the mundane realm were also long gone.

‘The Li Clan…’ When Duan Ling Tian passed by the Li Clan, he noticed the estate was much bigger compared to before. Since he and Huan’er had used a technique to stay invisible, they easily entered the Li Clan without anyone’s notice.

As soon as Duan Ling Tian stepped into the estate, he was stunned by a statue near the entrance.

At the same time, Huan’er exclaimed, “Brother Ling Tian, the statue resembles you a lot!”

“This… This is how I used to look.” For a moment, Duan Ling Tian did not know how to react to the statue in his likeness. There was a plaque next to the statue that was inscribed with his name and listed his achievements. Naturally, these achievements were only those that the Li Clan was aware of. There were many of his achievements that the Li Clan, and those in the Crimson Sky Kingdom, were unaware of.

At this moment, a teenager led a little girl who looked to be about five to six years old over. The boy pointed at the statue and said, “See this? This statue is of a famous outer disciple in our Li Clan in the past. Legend has it that when he was young, he was already capable of suppressing the Ten Great Dynasties… His mother, Li Rou, was the ninth elder of our Li Clan.”

“Capable of suppressing the Ten Great Dynasties?” The little girl was surprised. “A dynasty is far superior to kingdoms and empires who are already powerful in their own right! Our Fresh Breeze Town is just a small town in the Crimson Sky Kingdom…”

“That’s why he’s the pride of our Li Clan. The reason the Li Clan in Aurora City is so courteous to us is due to this senior! We’ve been blessed by him so we built this statue to honor him. No one in the Li Clan has ever received such a treatment. To think he was just an outer disciple at that time.”

The little girl stared at the teenager with wide eyes as she said excitedly, “Fourth Brother, I want to hear more!”

“Alright.” The boy began to recount Duan Ling Tian’s life story in the mundane realm. How Duan Ling Tian left Fresh Breeze Town for Aurora City before making his way to the Imperial Palace in the Crimson Sky Kingdom.

Listening to the teenager’s story was like a trip down memory lane for Duan Ling Tian. There were many things that he himself had forgotten about.

Huan’er said with a smile, “Brother Ling Tian, these children really idolize you!”

Duan Ling Tian sighed. “200 years passed in just a blink of an eye, and all the people I know are long gone…”

Following that, Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er left the Li Clan’s estate. They continued to wander the streets when Duan Ling Tian suddenly came to a halt. He was frozen in place as he stared at a corner in a daze.

Huan’er remained silent; she did not want to disturb Duan Ling Tian. Only when Duan Ling Tian sighed after regaining his senses did she ask, “Brother Ling Tian, did you remember something?”

“Yes.” Duan Ling Tian nodded as his eyes inadvertently fell on that corner again. “That’s where I first met my wife, Ke’er. At that time…”

Duan Ling Tian recounted the time when he first met the young girl trying to sell herself just so she could give her mother a proper burial. She had matured over the years, and her identity had undergone a huge change. She was now waiting for him to save her in the Divine Offering Land, a Realm of Gods. Apart from her, his family and friends were also captured by Yun Qing and brought to the Divine Offering Land. He could not wait to kill Yun Qing with his hands.
