Slow and Steady

After Duan Ling Tian broke through and became a level-seven supreme powerhouse, his two children, Duan Nian Tian and Duan Si Ling, were wandering the world when he was reunited with his parents and his wives. Later, when they returned, they followed him to the Divine Offering Land. They were also the first to tell him that they wanted to venture outside.

Duan Ling Tian’s children naturally regarded their father as their idol. They were especially excited when they found out that the Duan Ling Tian mentioned in the heavenly texts was their father. They wanted to be a legend like him and prove to the world that with such an outstanding father, they, his children, would also be outstanding.

In fact, it was due to his children’s influence that his wives also wanted to travel the world. They did not want to be outshone by the younger generation, after all. That was how he became a ‘lonely man’. Fortunately, they were all in his Little World so he could meet them at any time.

“Father, did Si Ling ask for your help?”

Duan Ling Tian’s doppelganger from the law of time did not expect to hear this as soon as he met Duan Nian Tian.

‘Is this kid competing with his sister?’

“No,” Duan Ling Tian replied. He did not care if this would make his son feel defeated. He had heard that when he was not around in the past, his son was very impatient and that he had a close brush with death a few times. Li Fei, Duan Nian Tian’s mother, told him that the reason for their son’s rashness was due to him feeling like he was not as strong as his sister.

Duan Si Ling, thanks to Feng Qing Yang’s guidance, had a very profound comprehension of the law of time. Her cultivation was no superior to that of Duan Nian Tian, but her comprehension of the law was indeed better than that of Duan Nian Tian.

Currently, Duan Nian Tian had already grown into an adult. He was tall and handsome, and his eyes were similar to those of Duan Ling Tian. As for his other features, he took after his mother, Li Fei.

“She didn’t?” Duan Nian Tian could not hide his disappointment when he heard his father’s reply.

At this time, the people who surrounded Duan Nian Tian and intended to kill him were surprised by the sudden appearance of a purple-clad young man. They looked fearful, unable to figure out how he had seemingly appeared out of thin air. This meant that he was much more powerful than them.

“Who are you?”

“Didn’t you hear how he addressed me?” Duan Ling Tian replied casually as he glanced at the people in the surroundings. He raised his hand, causing the void to shake.

The few people were shocked. Following that, their bodies trembled before they began to age rapidly. The middle-aged men turned into old men swiftly while the old men turned into corpses. In the end, all of them turned to dust.

With the law of time, these people quickly turned to dust. The so-called eternal life was nothing but a joke in front of the law of time.

However, it had to be said that the law of time looked especially domineering this time because the few people were much weaker than him. If they were even the weakest supreme powerhouses, Duan Ling Tian would not have been able to do it so easily.

“The law of time…”

Duan Nian Tian’s expression turned gloomier when he saw Duan Ling Tian’s law of time. He knew that his father’s strongest law was the law of space. He could not help but wonder if his father had deliberately used the law of time to remind him that he could not catch up to his sister. After all, his sister’s strongest law was the law of time.

Duan Ling Tian was unaware of his son’s thoughts. Otherwise, he would have kicked his son. After all, this was his doppelganger from the law of time. Apart from the law of time, what other law could his doppelganger use?

Although Duan Ling Tian was unaware of Duan Nian Tian’s current thoughts, he knew that his son liked to compare himself to his daughter so he said, “I know you’re headstrong, and you like to compare yourself to your sister. However, you shouldn’t be so shortsighted. If you want to compare, you should compare yourself to me. What’s the point of comparing yourself to your sister? Moreover, your sister’s profound comprehension of the law of time was due to her fortuitous encounter. Since I already gave you a Supreme Powerhouse Divinity, your comprehension of the law will catch up to hers sooner or later. The gap between both of you will definitely grow smaller and smaller. There’s no need to rush when cultivating. Slow and steady win the race.”

Duan Nian Tian’s expression was normal when he heard the first half of Duan Ling Tian’s words, but when he heard the second half of Duan Ling Tian’s half, his expression turned strange.

‘Slow and steady? Father’s so young, but he’s already stronger than all his elders. How can he shamelessly say ‘slow and steady win the race’?’

“Alright, you can continue on your journey. I’m going to look for your sister,” Duan Ling Tian said with a wave of his hand when he saw his son’s strange expression.

After he located his daughter, he quickly went to her and discovered that she was cultivating in an inn in a city. The surroundings were peaceful, and there was no danger. Upon seeing this, he nodded in satisfaction. At least he could rest assured with his daughter.

He did not meet his daughter and only observed her quietly before he finally left. If she was in danger, he knew she would crush the jade token he had given her.

…

Duan Ling Tian, who was in the Myriad Laws Academy’s Inner Palace faction with his seniors, naturally knew what happened from his doppelganger of the law of time.

This was his first time meeting his Eldest Senior Sister, Huangfu Meng Yuan. Previously, when he visited the Inner Palace faction, he did not see her. She had just returned, but left just as quickly after bringing his two senior brothers with her to the Outer Boundary.

After getting to know Huangfu Meng Yuan, he could not but sigh in amazement at how extraordinary she was. Her talent was not inferior to men at all. Coupled with her fortuitous encounters, she had achieved so much at such a young age.

Among the supreme powerhouses in the God Defying World, Xiao Mu Bai was the youngest imminent World supreme powerhouse in the God Defying World. However, when Huangfu Meng Yuan broke through, she also broke his record.

At this moment, Huangfu Meng Yuan asked, “Tell me, junior brother. Do you think I made the right choice by entering the realm of supreme powerhouses first before facing the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation?”

Duan Ling Tian replied with a smile, “Eldest Senior Sister, the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation for advanced Supreme Gods isn’t that simple as well. Otherwise, it doesn’t make sense that there weren’t any advanced Supreme Gods in the Myriad World and Outer Boundary who survived the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation after the historical gap until recently…”

Duan Ling Tian also knew that a large part of his success in overcoming the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation was thanks to the Void Elder’s memories.
