"You!"
The Thief of the World raised an eyebrow in anger.
At this, Ling Xian had a faint smile on his lips and was at ease.
Not only that, but he poured himself a cup of tea. The way he sipped on the tea made it clear that he was unfazed by the Thief of the World's anger.
This made the Thief of the World clench her teeth. However, there was nothing she could do.
Just like Ling Xian said, he would be the one doing most of the work. Taking 50 percent was already a great loss. Therefore, she could only nod and agree.
"You only took 50%. That's already a great bargain. Is there a need to frown?"
Ling Xian shook his head and laughed, "Tell me the time and place."
"Zhu Lu Mountain, in three days." The Thief of the World whispered.
"Okay, I will remember. Are you staying here or do you want me to meet up with you?" Ling Xian nodded.
"When the time comes, you can go. I still need to prepare. I will be leaving now." The Thief of the World then disappeared.
After she left, Ling Xian's life returned to how it was before.
Sadly, it was only for three short days.
Three days later, Ling Xian said goodbye to Su Zi and headed towards the direction of Zhu Lu Mountain.
When he arrived at Zhu Lu Mountain and saw the countless spiritual beings, he realized that he was tricked.
Originally, Ling Xian thought only he and the Thief of the World knew about this ruin. But the cultivators waiting before him proved that the news has already spread.
Even if it wasn't to the point where everyone knows about it, it was at least widely known.
"I lost out. If I knew the news had already spread, I wouldn't have agreed to a 50-50 split."
Ling Xian shook his head and chuckled. He glanced around and found out that most of them were of the fifth level. A small portion of them were of the sixth level.
"It seems like one thing about the Thief of the World is certain. This ruin is most likely the home of an omnipotent. Or else it wouldn't have attracted so many powerhouses."
Ling Xian mumbled to himself. Though he lost out a little, to be able to confirm that this was the home of an omnipotent was a blessing in disguise.
Then, he continued to look around for the Thief of the World who tricked him.
After some time, he found the Thief of the World. She was wearing a loose black robe and a bamboo hat. She wrapped herself up tightly as if afraid of being seen.
Seeing this, Ling Xian understood. He marched beside her and patted her shoulder.
"You're here." Thieving World said softly.
"Yeah, I've been tricked by you."
Ling Xian grinned, "Explain yourself. I thought you were the only one who knew about this ruin."
"What's there to explain?" Thieving World mumbled.
"If you don't explain yourself, I'll shout three times and you'll be the Thief of the World!"
Ling Xian taunted, "I think many people here hate you. If they know you are here, they will make a move right away."
"Hmph."
Thief of the World snorted in dissatisfaction, but his attitude softened: "I didn't mean to trick you. I thought only I knew about this."
"Hmm?"
Ling Xian raised an eyebrow, "Tell me the details."
"There's nothing much to say. I just happened to find out that there's a cave abode here. After that, I started searching around the cave abode. Then, I went to find you."
Thieving World bitterly smiled, "I didn't think this news would've spread out and attracted most of the powerhouses from the Futu Domain."
"The source cannot be verified. Then what's the result of your investigation?" Ling Xian frowned.
"Hehe, the result is very satisfying."
Thieving World's interest was piqued and he asked mysteriously, "Do you know why this ruin is attracting so many powerhouses?"
"It's not surprising that the abode of an omnipotent is so attractive." Ling Xian chuckled.
"No."
Thieving World shook his head and whispered something soul shattering into Ling Xian's ear.
"It's because rumor has it that this cave contains the secret to becoming an immortal."
At those words, Ling Xian's body quivered and his eyes exploded with light.
What was the secret to becoming an immortal?
He didn't know. But he knew very well that these four words were enough to make everyone go crazy!
What was the purpose of cultivation? Wasn't it to ascend to immortality and to live forever?
In other words, this was every living being's ultimate goal. However, ever since the catastrophe 30,000 years ago, nobody has been able to ascend for 30,000 years.
Yet now, the secret to becoming an immortal had appeared. Was this real or was someone spreading rumors?
"No wonder it attracted so many powerhouses. The secret to becoming an immortal is something nobody can resist."
Ling Xian exclaimed, "Even though I know there's a 99% chance it's fake, I'm willing to risk my life for that sliver of a chance."
"That's right. Everyone thinks the same. I believe you are no exception." Thieving World nodded.
"Who can be an exception?"
Ling Xian softly sighed. He thought that most of this was fake but he couldn't resist the anticipation in his heart.
What could he do? The secret to becoming an immortal was far too tempting and nobody could resist.
"That's right, facing the secret of becoming a celestial, who can remain rational and stay out of it?" Thief of the World sighed.
"No matter if this news is real or not, since I'm here, I have to go in and see."
Thinking about the person behind the merging of the two realms, Ling Xian's expression turned serious and he said in a low voice, "But, you and I need to be extra careful. I suspect someone is purposely spreading rumors."
"Don't worry. We just need to be careful." Thieving World nodded.
"How do I get in?"
Ling Xian asked. He had scanned the Zhu Lu Mountain with his Qi and didn't find anything strange. Naturally, he didn't know how to get in.
"Wait. The news says that in a few days, the palace will automatically appear," Thieving World said.
"Automatically …" Ling Xian frowned.
Ling Xian frowned slightly. It wasn't strange for the Palace of Fortune to manifest automatically. Small worlds like the Palace of Fortune all manifest automatically.
Therefore, he didn't say anything and patiently waited for the palace to open.
He waited for 10 days.
During this time, powerhouses arrived one after another. Three young cultivators of the sixth level arrived, which raised everyone's astonishment.
"Ao Hong Chen! He came as well! "
"Not only him, even the ruler of humanity and the demonic son are here. This is going to be troublesome. With three young cultivators here, what do I have to do?"
"This is too terrifying. They are not emitting any Qi, but I feel like I am facing a ferocious beast!"
Looking at the three men who were as deep as the ocean, the crowd exclaimed and subconsciously retreated.
Even Ling Xian raised an eyebrow and looked serious.
This was all because these three were far too powerful. Every single one of them was like a God that descended into the world.
They were all men. Though their temperaments were different, their demeanor was the same. The moment they appeared, they shocked everyone.
What could they do? These three were far too terrifying. Like Gods that descended into the world, they had the power to sweep away all nine levels of Heaven.
"Ao Hong Chen, the ruler of humanity, the demonic son. I cannot believe even the three of them are here."
Thieving World exhaled deeply. Thinking about Ling Xian, he asked, "Can you beat them?"
"I haven't fought yet, so I cannot say for sure."
Ling Xian shook his head softly and his eyes flickered with seriousness, "But these three are strong, very strong."
