Chapter 4674 The Dao Merging Tablet

Duan Ling Tian continued to stay in the Duan Residence, spending time with his family and comprehending the Limitless Dao and the Mastery Dao with the help of the Void Elder's memory.

After a considerable amount of time, Duan Ling Tian finally comprehended the Mastery Dao to the eighth stage, catching up with the Void Elder.

During this time, none of the people Duan Ling Tian knew in the past showed up at the Duan Residence. With this, it was clear that they were not in the Surging River Divine Kingdom or anywhere in its vicinity.

'Nian Tian, Little Black, Little White, and master's wife must have been transported to other places in the Divine Land,' Duan Ling Tian thought to himself.

Duan Ling Tian continued to comprehend the Limitless Dao with the help of the Void Elder's memory. He continued to comprehend it uninterrupted until an unexpected guest arrived.

"Big Brother Hong, what brings you here?"

The other party was none other than Hong Dong Chuan, the patriarch of the Hong clan. He had fought with Duan Ling Tian a few years ago at the Towering Heaven Peak. He was a level-eight Dao Establishment powerhouse and was known as the Prison Crushing Saber.

Duan Ling Tian was slightly surprised by Hong Dong Chuan's visit. However, he knew that Hong Dong Chuan would not visit without a reason. Only a few people knew that Duan Ling Tian was still in the Duan Residence, which was located in the Distinct Province. Most outsiders believed that he was still away. As such, he knew that Hong Dong Chuan visited today to test his luck, not knowing if he was around or not.

"Brother Ling Tian, I came today to see if you're here. If you weren't around, I would have returned and reported back to the royal family. However, since you're here, I'd like to seek your opinion," Hong Dong Chuan said.

"Seek my opinion?" Duan Ling Tian was puzzled, unable to figure out Hong Dong Chuan's purpose.

"It's like this…" Hong Dong Chuan said before he explained the purpose of his visit.

Hong Dong Chuan had come on behalf of the royal family of the Surging River Divine Kingdom. The royal family had sent him to the Duan Residence to see if Duan Ling Tian was around. The royal family wanted to meet him and asked if he would accompany a member of the royal family to represent the Surging River Divine Kingdom in a competition and earn prestige for the kingdom.

Every one thousand years, a Dao Establishment Competition would be held for the Surging River Divine Kingdom and the Temple of the Bitter Sea. Both sides would send five participants, who had to be a level-seven Dao Establishment powerhouse at least. The participants would then compete according to specific rules of the competition.

The victorious side would win the rewards offered up by both the Surging River Divine Kingdom and the Temple of the Bitter Sea. Apart from that, they would also obtain a Dao Merging Tablet from the losing side.

The rewards were generally ordinary and not very appealing to powerful Dao Establishment cultivators. The ultimate goal for both sides was the Dao Merging Tablet.

The Dao Merging Tablet was an imprint left behind by a Dao Establishment powerhouse before they passed away. Using their strength and the Dao they had mastered, they would create the imprint on a specially crafted tablet. This tablet could help others to comprehend the Dao and also help lay the foundation to enter the Dao Merging realm.

For this reason, the Dao Merging Tablet was very precious in the Divine Land. It was also very rare. Even the Surging River Divine Kingdom and the Temple of the Bitter Sea only possessed three Dao Merging Tablets between them; the Surging Divine Kingdom possessed one while the Temple of the Bitter Sea possessed two. The latter won one of the tablets during the competition with the Surging River Divine Kingdom a thousand years ago.

If the Surging River Divine Kingdom were to lose this time, it would lose the only Dao Merging Tablet in its possession. With that, the Dao Establishment Competition would also come to an end.

"The Surging River Divine Kingdom and the Temple of the Bitter Sea have Dao Merging powerhouses of their own, but they won't intervene in the competition. As such, the competition for the Dao Merging Tablet falls on the shoulders of Dao Establishment powerhouses," Hong Dong Chuan said, "As it is, the Temple of the Bitter Sea has a high chance of winning. The Surging River Divine Kingdom is naturally unwilling to lose. After all, that would mean that they'll lose their last Dao Merging Tablet. For this reason, the royal family hopes that you'll represent the Surging River Divine Kingdom in the competition."

Hong Dong Chuan continued to say, "The royal family has stated that if we win, one-third of the rewards will be yours. You'll also be given the priority to choose your rewards. Not only that, but you can also choose one of the Dao Merging Tablets, and it'll be yours to comprehend for the next three hundred years."

The royal family was indeed generous with their offer to Duan Ling Tian.

Hong Dong Chuan listed the rewards before he said, "The rewards might not be useful to you, but they're very useful for your family and friends…"

Duan Ling Tian's interest was piqued. Indeed, he had no use for the rewards, but this was not the case for his family and friends. The rewards would help them raise their cultivation bases.

After a moment, Duan Ling Tian asked curiously, "Why did the royal family choose me? They can look for other level-nine Dao Establishment powerhouses."

"We can't seek help from outsiders," Hong Dong Chuan said, shaking his head.

"I'm sure you can do it secretly, right?" Duan Ling Tian asked.

Hong Dong Chuan shook his head again. "In the Divine Land, most people at or above the eighth Dao Establishment level are all famous. This includes you, Brother Ling Tian. You're famous in the Surging River Divine Kingdom now, and it won't be long before your name spreads throughout the Divine Land… Even if ordinary people don't know you, at the very least all the major forces in the Divine Land will know of you. They'll have information about you such as the place you came from… For this reason, it's impossible to seek outside help…"

"So I'm considered to be from the Surging River Divine Kingdom?" Duan Ling Tian asked before he said, "I just arrived and gained recognition in the Surging River Divine Kingdom not too long ago. What if they regard me as an outsider and reject my participation in the Dao Establishment Competition?"

"You're definitely a member of the Surging River Divine Kingdom," Hong Dong Chuan said with a smile, "You're from the world created by the Life Creation Chart, and that world isn't a part of the Divine Land. Since you were transported to the Surging River Divine Kingdom and made a name for yourself here, you're naturally considered as one of us."

Hong Dong Chuan continued to say, "After all, the Temple of the Bitter Sea used to recruit unknown reclusive powerhouses who rose to fame in their territory. Because those powerhouses lived a life of a recluse, no one knew their origin, and they were not considered outside help…"

Duan Ling Tian nodded in understanding. Then, he said with a smile, "Big Brother Hong, if I'm stronger than the level-nine Dao Establishment powerhouse from the royal family, can I get more rewards?"

Currently, the rumors in the Surging River Divine Kingdom were that Duan Ling Tian was the third strongest person in the kingdom, behind the royal family's Dao Merging powerhouse and the level-nine Dao Establishment powerhouse. Not many people knew that the Duan Ling Tian was now a level-nine Dao Establishment powerhouse.

Duan Ling Tian was confident that he was now stronger than the royal family's level-nine Dao Establishment powerhouse.

Hong Dong Chuan was shocked when he heard Duan Ling Tian's words. When he regained his senses, a hint of fear could be seen in his eyes as he asked, "Brother Ling Tian, are you… are you saying that you're now a level-nine Dao Establishment powerhouse?!"
