It was not unusual in the Dao Martial Saint Land for two people to cultivate the same cultivation technique and martial tactics since young to have near-identical True Origins and Territories. For this reason, Ren Fei did not doubt Duan Ling Tian's words.
Naturally, it would never occur to him even in his wildest dreams that these words by Duan Ling Tian were all false.
As time pa.s.sed by, the remaining Refined Saint Stage Heaven Palace's disciples, apart from Duan Ling Tian, w.a.n.g Fei Xuan, Gao Peng, and Zhao Ji, began to sweat on their foreheads.
As for the remaining Heaven Palace's disciples who were at the peak of the Pristine Saint Stage, their bodies trembled constantly since they were just hanging by a thread. Even Liu Jian's face was extremely pale, and his body had begun to tremble slightly.
"Huh?" Xiao Yi, the Vice Palace Master of Heaven Palace, did not miss the crowd's reaction.
He found it normal that Duan Ling Tian, Gao Peng, and Zhao Ji to be calm since the two weakest among these three were at the Intermediate Refined Saint Stage. It was normal for an Intermediate Refined Saint Stage powerhouse to feel at ease with the pressure he was currently exerting.
This was also another reason Ren Fei did not doubt Duan Ling Tian's words.
However, the strange thing was w.a.n.g Fei Xuan was as calm as the other two.
"S-she has broken through?" Xiao Yi was not an idiot so it was easy for him to come to a conclusion. Moreover, this was the only possible explanation for w.a.n.g Fei Xuan's situation.
Previously, he had also heard that w.a.n.g Fei Xuan's cultivation base was close to the Intermediate Refined Saint Stage. It was only logical that she had made a breakthrough.
'I can't believe that apart from Duan Ling Tian, there's another outstanding genius who joined our Heaven Palace… w.a.n.g Fei Xuan's even younger than Gao Peng. With such an accomplishment, it can be said that her innate talent is not inferior to Gao Peng and Zhao Ji!' When Xiao Yi thought of this, he was delighted. He was the one who had recruited Duan Ling Tian and w.a.n.g Fei Xuan after all.
In the end, a few more Heaven Palace's disciples at the peak of the Pristine Saint Stage could no longer withstand the pressure and began to fall from the sky.
When there were only ten people remaining at Duan Ling Tian's level, the pressure vanished immediately. The result of the compet.i.tion was clear.
If one were to pay close attention, one would definitely realize Duan Ling Tian was completely unaffected. He was not even panting. However, Gao Peng, Zhao Ji, and w.a.n.g Fei Xuan's breathing had begun to quicken. The pressure earlier had also affected them to a certain extent. Naturally, it only affected their breathing a little.
"Congratulations, Liu Jian!" Ren Fei looked at one of the ten people who remained standing until the very end with slight jealousy as he congratulated him.
Liu Jian, the disciple of the Raging Wave Mansion, one of the people Duan Ling Tian planned to help, had successfully earned a spot to enter the Saint Martial Secret Zone.

"Thank you." Although Liu Jian's face was pale, there were hints of joy in his eyes as well. After all, he had successfully obtained a spot to enter the Saint Martial Secret Zone.
He knew this meant he would be able to enter the Saint Martial Secret Zone and comprehend a Divine Ability Relic. With Ling Tian's help, he might even be able to comprehend one of those high-grade Divine Ability Relic inside the Saint Martial Secret Zone!
"Ten of you, come back and gather here in ten days' time… At that time, Lord Palace Master will personally bring all of you to the entrance of the Saint Martial Secret Zone and send all of you in there!" Xiao Yi's Divine Consciousness stretched out and swept over the ten people, including Duan Ling Tian, as he memorized them.
After Xiao Yi finished speaking, he left as fast as he had appeared.
"I can't believe that it's over so fast." Many people sighed emotionally.
"Just a little bit more… In the end, I still let the chance of entering the Saint Martial Secret Zone slipped away." The few Heaven Palace's disciples at the peak of the Pristine Saint Stage who was eliminated toward the end shook their heads. Hints of unwillingness could be seen in their eyes.
However, there was nothing they could do even if they felt unwilling since they really could not withstand the pressure and were eliminated before the other disciples at the peak of the Pristine Saint Stage.
If only they could endure for a span of a few more breaths, they might not be the ones who were eliminated. All in all, it was their own strength that was still lacking.
Some people were sad while some were delighted.
"Haha! I'm coming, Saint Martial Secret Zone!" Many of Heaven Palace's disciples who obtained the opportunity to enter the Saint Martial Secret Zone exclaimed in happiness.
w.a.n.g Pi had appeared next to Duan Ling Tian. He looked at w.a.n.g Fei Xuan in shock as he asked, "w.a.n.g Fei Xuan, y-you've broken through to the Intermediate Refined Saint Stage as well?"
Earlier, he had also witnessed w.a.n.g Fei Xuan's performance. She was in no way inferior to Gao Peng or Zhao Ji at all.
"Yes." Although w.a.n.g Pi already knew this, he was still shocked when w.a.n.g Fei Xuan nodded her head in confirmation. He congratulated her. "Congratulations."
"Thank you, Senior Brother w.a.n.g Pi." Faced with w.a.n.g Pi, she did not dare to be rude since he was not only Xiao Yi's direct disciple, but he was also an Eminent Saint Stage disciple in the Mystical Sky Mansion.
A powerhouse at the Eminent Saint Stage was somebody worthy of her respect.
"w.a.n.g Fei Xuan has made a breakthrough?" Gao Peng who was standing not far away heard the exchange between w.a.n.g Pi and w.a.n.g Fei Xuan. For a moment, he was dumbstruck as well.
He had heard of w.a.n.g Fei Xuan before and knew that she was widely acknowledged as the strongest female powerhouse among the younger generation in the Mystical Sky District!
He had also heard about her joining the Mystical Sky Mansion some time ago.
Although w.a.n.g Fei Xuan was powerful, she was only at the Early Refined Saint Stage at that time. He did not expect her cultivation base was not inferior to his Zhao Ji's after two months had pa.s.sed. She was not even forty years old yet, but she was already at the Intermediate Refined Saint Stage.
In the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land, such innate talent could be considered as quite outstanding.
Although there were not many men with such innate talent in the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land, there were still quite a number of them. However, it was extremely rare for a female to possess such innate talent.
After all, females were born slightly weaker than men.
"w.a.n.g Fei Xuan!" Zhao Ji's gaze landed on w.a.n.g Fei Xuan as a hint of l.u.s.t and desire flashed across his eyes.
Although he had heard of w.a.n.g Fei Xuan before this, he had never seen her before so he thought the rumors were all exaggerated. This was because he did not believe a female martial cultivator with such innate talent would possess such a beautiful appearance. He did not think there would be such a perfect woman in this world.
However, now that he had seen w.a.n.g Fei Xuan, he realized there was indeed such a perfect woman in this world.
G.o.d seemed to have given her the best of everything. Innate talent, looks, and body.
Every positive point about w.a.n.g Fei Xuan aroused an intense sense of desire to conquer her from the bottom of his heart. "I, Zhao Ji, must have this woman!"
"Miss Fei Xuan has broken through to the Intermediate Refined Saint Stage?" Soon after, the spectators learned about w.a.n.g Fei Xuan's breakthrough, and it set off another commotion.
"Miss Fei Xuan, Senior Brother Ling Tian, I've done it." Liu Jian came to stand next to Duan Ling Tian and w.a.n.g Fei Xuan. Colors had begun to return to his face, and his eyes were filled with excitement.
"Congratulations." w.a.n.g Fei Xuan nodded casually.
Duan Ling Tian did not say anything and nodded in response.
"What's this?" w.a.n.g Pi was confused. He did not know why Liu Jian would come to find Duan Ling Tian and w.a.n.g Fei Xuan and said such words after obtaining the spot to enter the Saint Martial Secret Zone.
"Senior Brother w.a.n.g Pi, the three of us plan to work together when we enter the Saint Martial Secret Zone," Duan Ling Tian explained.
"T-The three of you are planning on working together?" When w.a.n.g Pi heard his words, his eyes turned as wide as saucers. He looked at Duan Ling Tian before he looked at w.a.n.g Fei Xuan. "If both of you join forces, you'll be able to roam unfettered in the Saint Martial Secret Zone with your current strength. However, if you bring him along, he'll just drag both of you down, right?"
When w.a.n.g Pi reached the end of his sentence, he even glanced at Liu Jian. However, Liu Jian did not feel awkward at all since he felt the same way.
He was lucky for being able to ally himself with Duan Ling Tian and w.a.n.g Fei Xuan.
"Working together?" Gao Peng heard Duan Ling Tian's words, and his eyes lit up immediately. He looked at Duan Ling Tian with slight excitement in his eyes. "Ling Tian, can I join the three of you?"
When Duan Ling Tian heard his words, he felt a little awkward.
He had a good impression of Gao Peng, but that did not mean he wanted to bring an additional person with him in the Saint Martial Secret Zone. Most importantly, he was not even friends with Gao Peng.
In the Saint Martial Secret Zone, let alone Gao Peng and w.a.n.g Fei Xuan who were Intermediate Refined Saint Stage Martial Cultivators, even if a Mastery Refined Saint Stage Martial Cultivator were to follow him, it would only drag him down.
There was a reason for him working together with w.a.n.g Fei Xuan and Liu Jian. w.a.n.g Fei Xuan could be roughly considered as a friend, and he wanted to repay Liu Hong Guang through Liu Jian.
At this moment when Duan Ling Tian was placed in an awkward position, w.a.n.g Fei Xuan who seemed to have seen through his awkwardness looked at Gao Peng and said, "Senior Brother Gao Peng, I'm afraid you can't. The number of people in our alliance has reached its limit. After all, we don't even know if the three of us will be able to find three or more Divine Ability Relics inside. Due to this reason, it might not be advantageous for you to follow us, Senior Brother Gao Peng. Moreover, with your prowess, I'm sure you'll be able to find quite a good Divine Ability Relic even if you don't join us." When w.a.n.g Fei Xuan this part of the sentence, she looked at Liu Jian before saying again, "We're only bringing Liu Jian because Ling Tian wants to repay a favor by Liu Jian's senior. If we manage to find a high-grade Divine Ability Relic inside the Saint Martial Secret Zone, we'll give him the priority to comprehend it first. I'm sure you're unwilling to do that, right?"
"You're giving him a priority in comprehending a high-grade Divine Ability Relic?" Gao Peng was still calm when he listened to the first half of w.a.n.g Fei Xuan's sentence, but he could not fathom the second half of her sentence.
In his opinion, Liu Jian was merely a Martial Cultivator at the peak of the Pristine Saint Stage, and he would definitely be a hindrance to them in the Saint Martial Secret Zone. However, they're planning to give someone like that the priority to comprehend a high-grade Divine Ability Relic?
In fact, not only was one person allowed to comprehend the Divine Ability Relic inside the Saint Martial Secret Zone but after that person had comprehended it, the Divine Ability Relic would disappear along with its Formation and would be impossible to be found again.
Due to this reason, only one person would be able to comprehend each Divine Ability Relic that was found.
