Zheng Jian was taken away by the Tianshang Guard and taken to the ‘punishment camp’ of the Lord’s Mansion of Qiushan City.
Then, he never came back.
In Qianlong Camp, the situation is changing.
When Li Han and Duan Lingtian first arrived at Qianlong Camp, they were the first characters among the Thirteen Taibao that they defeated, and they also successfully broke through to the 'late stage of the transcendent realm'.
As soon as he came out of seclusion, he wanted to seek revenge on Duan Lingtian.
However, when he heard that Zheng Jian was defeated by Duan Lingtian, he completely gave up this idea.
However, he still relied on his own strength to become a figure among the Thirteen Taibos again.
The ranking among the Thirteen Taibao has also changed.
Except for the ranking of the top four people, which remained unchanged, Duan Lingtian replaced the original fifth ‘Zheng Jian’ and moved into wooden house No. 5.
Zhang Jilong lived in wooden house No. 6.
Guo Li, lived in wooden house No. 7.
The owner of wooden house No. 8 is Hou Lin, and the owner of wooden house No. 9 is Li Han.
As for the owner of wooden house No. 10, it changed several times within a month. It was only confirmed after another member of the Qianlong Camp broke through to the 'late stage of the transcendent realm'.
At the same time, the news that Duan Lingtian became the 'disciple' of the Lord of Qiushan City also began to spread.
"It turns out that Duan Lingtian has become the disciple of the Lord City Lord."
"Being able to be accepted as a disciple by the Lord of the City after Xiong Hu and Jin Yuanbao shows that Duan Lingtian's strength even exceeds that of 'Sun Ge', who ranks fourth among the Thirteen Taibao."
"If I had known that Duan Lingtian had become the disciple of the Lord City Lord, I would have given Zheng Jian the courage to dare to provoke Duan Lingtian."
"Everything in the world is unpredictable... Perhaps even Zheng Jian himself did not expect that he would be expelled from the Qianlong Camp and the City Lord's Mansion for killing his distant cousin."
"I heard... that when Zheng Jian was expelled from the city lord's palace, he only had half a breath left. The punishment camp's methods were too cruel."
"According to me, it's good if he's alive."
…
The dilapidated wooden house area in Qianlongying is always lively.
Because Duan Lingtian defeated Zheng Jian face to face, Hou Lin and Zhang Jilong became more afraid of Duan Lingtian.
Now, after hearing that Duan Lingtian has become the disciple of the Lord City Lord, they have completely given up the idea of becoming an enemy of Duan Lingtian.
Especially Hou Lin.
Although Duan Lingtian once threw him into the septic tank and made him suffer humiliation, facing Duan Lingtian now, he could not bring up the slightest desire for revenge.
After Zheng Jian was expelled from Qianlong Camp and the City Lord's Mansion, a month passed quickly.
On this day, the leader of the Thirteen Taibao, ‘Ling Yun’, left wooden house No. 1.
As for what he was going to do, everyone knew.
An hour later, Ling Yun came back. Although his face was still stern, the depths of his eyes were filled with a bit of excitement.
"It seems that Ling Yun passed the test set by the teacher."
Duan Lingtian happened to walk out of the pavilion on the side of the high platform, saw the joy in Ling Yun's eyes, and thought to himself.
He entered the pavilion precisely to receive the holy stone.
Today, he ranks fifth among the Thirteen Taibao, and can receive 900 eighth-grade holy stones every month.
"Duan Lingtian, although you are older than me and have become my master's disciple first... But if you want me to call you 'senior brother', you must defeat me first."
When Duan Lingtian looked at Ling Yun, Ling Yun was also looking at him and communicated with him via sound transmission.
In response, Duan Lingtian just smiled faintly and returned directly to cabin No. 5.
After returning to the wooden house, he took out the Seven Treasures Exquisite Tower. With a thought, he entered it directly and climbed to the second floor.
After climbing to the second floor, he continued to practice.
A layer of silvery luster appeared on his body, as if he was covered with a layer of silver clothing.
"As an upgraded version of the 'Copper Cloth Shirt', my cultivation of the 'Silver Cloth Shirt' has been smooth sailing... Now, I have reached the level of 'entering the hall'."
Duan Lingtian had a satisfied smile on his face.
One month has passed outside, and three months have passed inside the Qibao Exquisite Pagoda... In three months, Duan Lingtian successfully cultivated Yin Bu Shi to the point of 'entering the hall'.
Entering the hall is the third level of holy martial arts moves.
A silver cloth shirt that has been cultivated to the level of "entering the hall" is as powerful as a copper cloth shirt that has been cultivated to the fifth level of "perfection".
"I can feel... Now, once I display the 'Silver Cloth Shirt', the power displayed by my physical body will be much stronger."
Duan Lingtian said secretly.
"In another month's time, it will be half a year since I came to the Lord's Mansion of this mountain city."
Thinking of this, Duan Lingtian sighed.
Of course, the half a year he mentioned was outside time.
The time inside the Qibao Exquisite Pagoda is much longer than outside.
"Right!"
Suddenly, Duan Lingtian seemed to have remembered something, he restrained his 'silver cloth', left the second floor of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Tower, and arrived at the first floor of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Tower.
"Lao Huo."
Duan Lingtian looked at Mr. Huo who was sitting cross-legged and said hello.
"Is something wrong?"
Huo Lao opened his eyes and asked.
"Lao Huo, I want to ask you...do my 'annual rings' grow with the passage of time outside, or with the passage of time inside the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda?"
Just now, Duan Lingtian thought of this.
If his 'annual rings' increase with time in the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda...he is already thirty-six years old now.
If time outside had increased, he would still be thirty-five years old.
When he first met Lin Qingrong and Guo Li, he seemed to have just turned thirty-five.
"Your 'annual rings' grow with time outside..."
"The time outside is normal... You can understand it this way. The extra time inside the Qibao Exquisite Pagoda is equivalent to 'stealing' and will not affect your 'annual rings'."
Huo Lao said.
"Stealing? Mr. Huo, you mean... when I was in the Qibao Exquisite Pagoda, my 'annual rings' remained stationary?"
Duan Lingtian took a deep breath and tried to suppress his agitated mood.
"Um."
Mr. Huo nodded, "Since you came to the Lord's Mansion of Qiushan City, your growth rings have only grown by 'half a month'... This half month is the time you have spent outside in the past six months."
"I came to Qiushan City City Lord's Mansion for half a year...half a year. Except for the ten days last time, I also spent five days at other times. It is true that I only stayed outside for half a month."
Duan Lingtian's pupils shrank and he murmured: "If this is really the case... wouldn't my 'annual rings' grow very slowly?"
"good."
Mr. Huo nodded, "Your 'annual rings' grow with time outside... When you are inside the Qibao Exquisite Pagoda, your annual rings remain stationary."
"Based on the fact that you have only stayed outside for fifteen days in the past six months... In the past twelve years, your growth rings have only grown by one circle, which means your age has only grown by one year."
Huo Lao continued.
boom!
Huo Lao's words were like thunder, and Duan Lingtian was so shocked that he couldn't recover for a long time.
Based on the time he spent outside in the past six months.
In twelve years, his 'annual rings' only grew one circle?
"This...is this too exaggerated?"
Duan Lingtian murmured to himself with a dull look on his face, "If we follow this calculation... In the past sixty years, my growth rings have only grown by 'five circles'. By then, will I only be forty years old?"
Thinking of this, the corners of Duan Lingtian's mouth twitched fiercely.
You know, in the Daowu Holy Land, everyone under the age of forty is called 'young people'.
Based on the time he spent outside in the past six months...it will take another sixty years before he can be considered a 'young man'?
At this moment, Duan Lingtian deeply realized how extraordinary the ‘Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda’ was.
The Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda is indeed the most precious treasure of the top immortal family. It can seize the fortune of heaven and earth and steal the reincarnation of time.
"In the past six months, I have taken ten 'two-star induction pills' to enhance my induction of the aura of heaven and earth, and my practice has progressed rapidly... The sea of energy the size of an egg is almost full now."
"Although I no longer have the 'Two Star Sensing Pill', by relying on the thirty-two holy veins in my body to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and practice, I think I can successfully accumulate a full sea of energy within a month and make the next breakthrough."
Duan Lingtian continued to mutter to himself.
The next breakthrough is to break through to the ‘late stage of transcendence’!
Once he breaks through to the late stage of the transcendent realm, his sea of qi will transform again and become larger... At that time, the transformed and enlarged sea of qi can accumulate more true energy.
Not only that, after the sea of qi transforms and becomes larger, he will also open up the holy veins again and open up more holy veins.
The increase in the holy veins will affect the delivery speed of the true energy in his body, directly affecting his overall strength.
"Using the true energy in my current Qi Sea, I will use all my strength to perform my actions, and transport them through the thirty-six holy veins... Even if I don't use the 'Silver Cloth Shirt', I am confident that I can defeat any late-stage martial arts or Taoist cultivator in the transcendent realm!"
Duan Lingtian said secretly.
Now he is only a martial arts cultivator in the middle stage of the transcendent realm.
"Once I break through to the Small Perfection of the Transcendental Realm... Even if I just break through, with the 'Silver Cloth Shirt', I am still confident that I can defeat most of the Small Perfection martial arts and Taoist cultivators of the Transcendental Realm!"
Duan Lingtian is full of confidence.
After taking a deep breath and calming down, Duan Lingtian sat cross-legged in the air and began to practice.
"Kowloon War Master Technique", Kowloon Transformation!
As the cultivation method circulates in his body, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the air and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the holy stones are continuously sucked into his body.
After the spiritual energy of heaven and earth enters the body, it is carried by Jiulong, circulates around the sky, turns into true energy, and merges into the sea of energy.
Under such a cycle, the true energy in the sea of qi continues to increase.
A month passed quickly inside the Qibao Exquisite Pagoda... But at this time, the true energy in the sea of qi deep between Duan Lingtian's brows was finally full.
"I'm really full of energy... Now, you can try to open up a bigger sea of energy!"
Duan Lingtian opened his eyes, and the light flashed away.
Immediately afterwards, he closed his eyes again and continued practicing.
At the same time, the sea of qi deep in the center of his eyebrows was propped up by the continuous influx of true qi, and continued to expand, like a balloon.
