War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens-Chapter 4346 - 4346 Meeting After Nine Hundred Years

4346 Meeting After Nine Hundred Years

The middle-aged man was handsome. Although he was only sitting cross-legged in the air with his eyes closed, his majestic aura was undeniable and obvious. Clearly, he was someone who had been in a high position all his life.

When Duan Ling Tian and Xia Jie walked in, Xia Yu opened his eyes. He first nodded at Xia Jie before he turned to look at Duan Ling Tian, who was standing next to Xia Jie, with a complicated gaze.

Earlier, when Duan Ling Tian revealed his identity, he had been notified by the elders that his son–in-law had arrived. In all honesty, he had been dissatisfied with his son-in-law in the beginning. He felt that his daughter only fell in love with a man from a mundane realm because she lost her memory after she reincarnated. As such, when Yun Qing Yan brought her back, he did not say anything about Yun Qing Yan separating his daughter and her husband from the mundane realm. He truly felt that his son-in-law was not worthy of his daughter.

After receiving various news about Duan Ling Tian’s actions in the chaotic region and advanced chaotic region, Xia Yu finally began to take Duan Ling Tian seriously. After all, Duan Ling Tian was born in a mundane realm, the lowest of the lower realms, but he was able to achieve such feats. Even if Duan Ling Tian had various fortuitous encounters, his journey here was nothing short of a miracle.

In fact, there were many supreme powerhouses from mundane realms as well, and their journeys were also miraculous. However, compared to Duan Ling Tian, they were not as shocking. After all, no one had ever entered the realm of a Supreme God before reaching 1,000 years old.

‘As expected, he’s already an intermediate Supreme God…’ Xia Yu quickly confirmed that his son-in-law, whom he was meeting for the first time, had indeed become an intermediate Supreme God. Not only that, but his son-in-law had also stabilized his cultivation base. He was both surprised and unsurprised at the same time.

He was surprised that Duan Ling Tian went from a rudimentary Supreme God who had yet to stabilize his cultivation base to an intermediate Supreme God who had stabilized his cultivation base. However, it was not completely unexpected since Duan Ling Tian was allowed to bathe in the divine fountain. It would truly be unexpected and surprising if Duan Ling Tian became an advanced Supreme God.

At this moment, Xia Jie, who was standing next to Duan Ling Tian, began to make the introduction.

“Ling Tian, this is my eldest brother, Xia Yu. He’s the Clan Leader of the Xia clan.”

Even without the introduction, Duan Ling Tian had already guessed Xia Yu’s identity. His gaze was also complicated when he looked at Xia Yu. Nonetheless, he still nodded and said, “Clan Leader Xia.”

In fact, as Ke’er’s husband, it would have been more appropriate for Duan Ling Tian to address Xia Yu as ‘father’ instead of ‘Clan Leader Xia’. However, he really could not bring himself to address Xia Yu as ‘father’.

After all, Xia Yu was complicit in imprisoning his family and friends back then. He also supported Ke’er’s marriage to Yun Qing Yan.

Let alone ‘father’, Duan Ling Tian could not even bring himself to address Xia Yu as ‘Uncle Xia’. Addressing Xia Yu as ‘Clan Leader Xia’ was his way of alienating Xia Yu.

Xia Yu was also stunned by Duan Ling Tian’s form of address. After all, the other party was his son-in-law. How could his son-in-law address him as such?

Meanwhile, Xia Jie saw Xia Yu’s stunned expression and could not help but smile mockingly at his brother. In the past, his eldest brother had looked down on and underestimated Duan Ling Tian, leading him to make a series of bad decisions. Otherwise, things might not have turned out this way. Currently, it would be difficult for Duan Ling Tian to change the form of address unless his niece said something about it.

When Xia Yu returned to his senses, he saw the mocking smile on Xia Jie’s face and could instantly guess Xia Jie’s thoughts. However, he was not angry. He only sighed and smiled wryly before he said, “Go in. She’s inside. Don’t be reckless and probe her soul with your soul energy. If you really want to do so, make sure you don’t get close to her soul. Otherwise, the restraint will see your energy as a threat and destroy her soul immediately.”

Xia Yu’s expression grew more and more solemn as he spoke.

“Thank you, Clan Leader Xia,” Duan Ling Tian said with a nod before he entered the house.

Xia Jie accompanied Duan Ling Tian until they were in front of a door to a room. Then, he said, “Xue’er is in this room. Go in. You’ve not seen her for hundreds of years so take a good look at her…”

Xia Jie sighed after he finished speaking.

Duan Ling Tian took a deep breath before he opened the door and entered the room. He froze as soon as he entered the room. The room resembled his and Ke’er’s room in the mundane realm. The positions of the cabinet, table, chairs, and bed were all the same.

A painting hung on the wall next to the cabinet. It was a painting of a man, a woman, and a little girl. Although the painting was not very good, Duan Ling Tian knew immediately that the painting was of him, Ke’er, and Duan Si Ling when she was a child.

‘Ke’er hasn’t seen Si Ling as an adult even though Si Ling is her biological child…’

Duan Ling Tian’s heart trembled when this thought appeared in his mind.

Compared to his wife, Duan Ling Tian was more unfortunate. At least, he had seen his daughter grow from a little girl to a pretty woman.

At this moment, tears brimmed in Duan Ling Tian’s eyes as his heart surged with emotions. He closed his eyes and raised his head, but it did not prevent his tears from falling down his face. He quickly evaporated his tears and took a deep breath before he mustered up his courage to look at the beautiful figure lying on the bed.

About 900 years had passed, but his wife still looked the same. However, he knew that she must have suffered a lot and experienced many things over the years.

His wife had been on the Realm Battlefield for hundreds of years. As someone who had been to the Realm Battlefield as well, he could only imagine how many times she had a close brush with death.

Duan Ling Tian came to the bed and looked down at his wife before he squatted down. He reached out and gently stroked his wife’s cheek as he whispered, “Ke’er, I’m here. You’ve suffered over the years. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely wake you up! At that time, I’ll bring you back to see our daughter. One day, we’ll all be reunited and live together happily.”

Duan Ling Tian’s voice was soft, but it was filled with determination.

Unfortunately, despite Duan Ling Tian’s emotional words, the woman on the bed remained motionless. Due to the restraint on her soul, she could not perceive anything in the outside world at all. How could she hear his words? She could not even hear Voice Transmission at this moment.

Duan Ling Tian remained crouched next to the bed as he recounted his experience after they were separated. When he was finally done speaking, he felt as though his heart was being stabbed by ten million blades when he saw her lying motionlessly and expressionlessly.

“I’ll stop here,” Duan Ling Tian said tenderly, “I don’t know if you heard me, but I’ll tell you all about it again when you wake up. No matter how many times you want to hear it, I’ll tell you… I should bring you away now and let Si Ling take care of you. However, I have a lot of enemies now. I don’t even know how many people are targeting me now. I don’t want to bring harm to you so you’ll have to stay in the Xia clan for now. I’ll bring you back to see Si Ling after I find a way to wake you up.”

Today was the day Duan Ling Tian spoke the most in his life. Usually, he did not speak much in front of others. He was an introvert, after all. However, faced with his wife whom he had not seen for about 900 years, he could not hold back his words at all.

Unknowingly, half a day and a night had passed. 𝐟r𝒆ℯ𝘄𝑒𝒃𝚗𝒐𝘃e𝗹.c𝘰𝐦

…

When Duan Ling Tian finally walked out to the courtyard, Xia Jie, who was sitting cross-legged in the air like Xia Yu, opened his eyes. He asked with a smile, “You’re finally out?” f𝘳𝚎𝐞we𝐛𝑛𝐨𝘃e𝘭.co𝘮

Currently, the young man who was incredibly weak in the past possessed strength that possibly surpassed his. He lamented how the younger generation had surpassed the older generation, but at the same time, he was truly happy that his niece found such an excellent husband.

Xia Yu also opened his eyes at this time. His gaze remained complicated when he looked at Duan Ling Tian. He met Duan Ling Tian for the first time yesterday, and today was his second time meeting Duan Ling Tian.

“Third Uncle.”

When Xia Yu heard Duan Ling Tian address Xia Jie as ‘Third Uncle’, Xia Yu knew that Duan Ling Tian was deliberately targeting him by addressing him as ‘Clan Leader Xia’. However, he also knew he deserved this alienation. After all, there was no denying he disliked Duan Ling Tian before and targeted Duan Ling Tian even if he had done it to protect the future of the Xia clan and the safety of the Xia clan’s ancestor. He comforted himself inwardly, telling himself that his son-in-law’s attitude was understandable considering everything he had done.

Xia Jie asked Duan Ling Tian, “What are your plans next?”

Duan Ling Tian’s eyes lit up upon hearing these words. He asked, “Third Uncle, what do you think?”

Xia Jie stared at Duan Ling Tian and asked, “Are you asking for my advice?”

Duan Ling Tian nodded. He was very clear about his current situation. The supreme powerhouse had directly sent him to the Xia clan. There was no doubt that the members of the Xia clan had already spread the news of his arrival. Many outsiders must know that he was now in the Xia clan. Although he had been here a day and a night, who knew how many people were lying in wait for him outside? After all, he was currently in possession of a large amount of liquid from the divine fountain. Although he was now an intermediate Supreme God, the divine fountain was something that even supreme powerhouses would kill for. After all, a man’s wealth could bring his own ruin due to others’ greed.
