"Ehem, ehem, Mistress, this is 101 moves."
Liao Cang Qiong coughed twice. He looked a little embarrassed, but his face was full of pride.
"More than a hundred moves huh …"
The Keeper of Land and Sea's hand froze. Her vigor slowly dissipated. Her eyes flickered with unwillingness.
She failed to defeat Ling Xian and the number of moves they agreed upon has passed. Naturally, she was unwilling to give up.
"I have won."
The corner of Ling Xian's lips curled up as he calmed down from his berserk state. His handsome face revealed his pride.
He truly did deserve to be proud. Because his opponent was the Keeper of Land and Sea, who once suppressed all kinds in the world!
She was a legendary figure who was undefeatable for an entire era. She was a true God. Even if one looked at the history books, he would still be one of the most powerful experts!
Not to mention a hundred moves from her, even fifty moves would be an incredible feat. In the entire world, not many people could do this.
Yet now, Ling Xian had successfully made it past 100 moves. If this news gets out, the entire Kingdom of Immortality would be in an uproar!
Therefore, why wouldn't he be proud?
Liao Cang Qiong felt the same.
Ling Xian's ability to last 50 moves was already beyond his expectations. He really did not think Ling Xian would pass the Keeper of Land and Sea's test!
This made him very proud. He stroked his beard and smiled, "You are my apprentice after all. You sure are powerful."
"Look at how proud you are. But Ling Xian truly is powerful. To be able to last 100 moves against the Keeper of Land and Sea is truly shocking."
"Shocking is more than that. In the entire history of time, those who can last 100 moves against the Keeper of Land and Sea are few and far between. "
"Five undefeatable realms. Not bad."
All the immortals chimed in. Whether it was their words or their gazes, they all revealed their compliments.
"You are flattering me."
Ling Xian softly grinned and shifted his gaze towards the Keeper of Land and Sea. He did not flaunt his prowess, he only felt gratitude and awe.
Gratitude was because without the Keeper of Land and Sea, he wouldn't have been enlightened and the Disorder Conquering Fists would've broken through to the realm of perfection.
Awe was because of the Keeper of Land and Sea's capabilities.
He knew very well that even though he was in the same realm as the Untainted, he was no opponent of hers. At most, he could last another 50 moves.
"You've passed the test."
The Keeper of Land and Sea's lips parted slightly. The unwillingness in her eyes disappeared and was replaced with calmness. Absolute calmness.
Then, she turned around and disappeared on the spot. She left in a carefree manner.
This disappointed Ling Xian. He didn't think that after passing the test, he wouldn't get any rewards.
"This test was decided by us and the Great Emperor a long time ago."
Liao Cang Qiong was all smiles, "If you can pass the test, then it means you have the right to enter the sixth level."
Hearing this, Ling Xian's eyes brightened. He was here for the sixth level. However, he was confused by Liao Cang Qiong's words. What did he mean by qualified?
Could it be that he couldn't break through if he couldn't withstand a hundred moves? He had reached the pinnacle of Dao Choosing State. Even if he couldn't even block one move from a Great Emperor, he still had the right to advance into Realm Six!
"Don't be hasty. Let me explain slowly."
Noticing Ling Xian's confusion, Liao Cang Qiong wiped off his smile and said in a serious tone, "If the fifth realm is the beginning of enlightenment, then the sixth realm is the key."
"This realm is called the Blending of Paths. It means to become one with the Heavenly Dao."
"After the blending, one's Dao will have something to rely on and become part of the Heavenly Dao. One will be blessed with luck."
"If one doesn't blend, then one will be rootless and have nothing to rely on."
Liao Cang Qiong continued to speak. In a few sentences, he described the general situation of the sixth level.
After he finished speaking, Ling Xian's brows furrowed together.
Because he was sealed by the heavens.
This seal would only appear on those who are not accepted by Heaven. In other words, he was not accepted by Heaven. Plus, he had four seals inside him. What did this mean?
He was not accepted by Heaven!
"Master, I am not accepted by Heaven. I don't think I can blend myself with the Heavenly Dao." Ling Xian bitterly smiled.
"That's right. Everyone can. Only you can't."
Liao Cang Qiong's expression was serious, "However, that is not the most important reason."
"Not the most important reason?"
Ling Xian's brows were tightly locked together. If being sealed by Heaven wasn't the most important reason why he couldn't blend with the Heavenly Dao, then what was?
"The most important reason is that the Heavenly Dao here is damaged. To use a metaphor, it is poisoned."
Liao Cang Qiong softly sighed. The other immortals all sighed as well.
"Poisoned?"
Ling Xian was a little startled. He didn't understand what Liao Cang Qiong meant by this. But he knew that this was a big secret.
Therefore, his expression turned serious and he said in a low voice, "Master, please explain."
"The Heavenly Dao is poisoned. Though living beings can still blend with the Heavenly Dao, how can a poisoned Heavenly Dao rely on it?"
"At the Blending Realm, nothing much can be seen. But at the end, at the critical moment, the poison will explode and consume its owner's life force."
Liao Cang Qiong sighed deeply. Other than exclamation, there was also some sadness.
"Poison, blending with the Heavenly Dao, exploding …"
Noticing these key words, Ling Xian mumbled to himself. His brain was a mess but he felt a little familiar.
After a while, he finally understood. He finally understood why the previous leader of the Hidden Pavilion suddenly died during his ascension.
Based on what Liao Cang Qiong said, blending with the Heavenly Dao is a necessary step for all cultivators. However, the Heavenly Dao is already poisoned. Blending under these circumstances will result in the body being corroded by the poison.
At the critical moment, the poison will explode. Doesn't this fit the previous leader's situation perfectly?
"I see. I finally understand."
Ling Xian's eyes shone brightly. He was happy that he solved a mystery. But in the next second, his eyes dimmed.
The Heavenly Dao is poisonous and he is someone the Heavens cannot tolerate. It was fated that he cannot blend. If he doesn't, how will he break through to the sixth level and how will he step onto the peak?
"Aye, it's useless even if I understand."
Ling Xian sighed, "Danger is blocking the only path. Either I walk or I stop. Neither is what I want."
"Silly child, this path is not working. We can choose another path." Liao Cang Qiong softly grinned, seeing through Ling Xian's worry.
"Hmm?"
Ling Xian's spirit lifted and his eyes once again exploded with light, "Master, you mean there are other ways to enter the Blending Realm?"
"That's right."
Liao Cang Qiong grinned, "There are two paths. The first is to try it with your own body. The poison may not be able to consume you."
Hearing this, Ling Xian bitterly smiled. Even the omnipotent who ascended couldn't destroy it. What ability does he have to fight against it?
His eyes were full of anticipation, "Master, if this path doesn't work, what about the second one?" "The second one."
Liao Cang Qiong softly sighed, "This path is much more dangerous and difficult than the first one. But if it succeeds, the benefits you gain will be great. It will be thousands of times better than merging with the Heavenly Dao!"
