The Soaring Key was in Ling Xian's hand.
It was a short sentence, but the shock it brought was extremely strong, and it directly shook the two worlds!
Everyone went insane. All the forces sent out secret agents to find out about Ling Xian's whereabouts. After locking onto his location at the Tower of Thousand Treasures, they immediately made a move and headed here.
Their goal was without a doubt, the Soaring Key.
Whether it was threatening or tempting, the end result was that they had to make Ling Xian hand over the Soaring Key!
What could they do? The allure of the Door of Ascension was far too great. Ling Xian was merely a sixth level cultivator. Even if he was at the seventh level, everyone would force him to hand it over!
Therefore, every single sixth level cultivator made their move and headed towards the Tower of Thousand Treasures.
At once, the wind blew and the clouds converged.
The entire world was moving because of Ling Xian!
…
When Ling Xian found out about this news, the Thief of the World had just stepped over the door.
Initially, he was a little happy to see this woman. However, this sudden news really made him unable to feel happy.
This meant he was now standing on the edge of the storm. Or in other words, he was standing on the opposite side of the world.
If he hands over the Soaring Key, then he will be safe. But if he doesn't, then he will be the enemy of everyone in the world!
Everyone in the world!
Now, everyone knows about the existence of the Door of Ascension. They also know that this is the only way to achieve immortality. Under these circumstances, if he doesn't hand it over, then what awaits him is the wrath of everyone in the world!
If it was anyone else, they wouldn't be able to bear it!
Therefore, Ling Xian was troubled. As much as he was troubled, he was even more certain that this was a conspiracy.
The reason for that was because the news of him possessing the Ascension Key had been spread.
This made him remember back in Yuezhou, someone also spread the news of him possessing the Soaring Key. This was why the seven Sects and 18 Houses were after him.
Therefore, Ling Xian couldn't help but suspect that these two events were connected. Or in other words, the same person was behind all of this.
Since there was a mastermind behind all of this, then was this Door of Ascension part of the conspiracy?
Ling Xian wasn't sure.
But he believed in his own judgment. There was something strange about this. Even if the Door of Ascension and the key were real, it may not be what everyone wanted!
"I didn't expect you to have the Soaring Key."
Thief of the World's eyes brightened, "Ling Xian, let us open the Gate of Ascension and ascend."
Hearing this, Ling Xian smiled helplessly, "Do you think we still have a chance?"
"That's true."
Thieving World sighed: "You're in trouble now. Hand it over, I can't take this lying down. If you don't hand it over, you will become the enemy of the entire world. "
"Yes, unless I am strong enough to defeat two realms, I cannot win against everyone in the world." Ling Xian sighed deeply, knowing that he had to compromise.
"There is no choice, this is the general trend, individual strength cannot go against it." Thieving World said helplessly: "Other than compromising, you have no other choice."
"That's right, we can only compromise."
Ling Xian softly sighed, "But, this may not be a bad thing. After all, the Soaring Key is a hot potato right now."
"That's true, so you've decided to hand it over?" Thieving World was slightly unwilling.
Ling Xian was the same.
He'd expended great effort and even died once in order to obtain the Ascension Key, so how could he be willing to hand it over to another?
However, there was nothing he could do.
The situation today was far too unfavorable for him. He didn't doubt that if he rejects, he will be attacked by all sorts of powerhouses!
"I have no choice but to compromise."
Ling Xian softly sighed. He suddenly remembered all sorts of strange things and couldn't help but say, "But, it's not certain who will lose out."
"What do you mean?" Thieving World didn't understand.
"Nothing. You will find out when the time comes."
Ling Xian softly smiled. This was a blessing in disguise. He didn't think he would be the one losing out.
Then, he changed the topic, "Hand over the Holy Jade Bottle and the Saber of the Day."
"Why? They are my spoils of war. "Thieving World pouted.
"Don't forget, who was the one who risked his life to help you stop the three young cultivators. Without me, do you think you could've gotten away?"
Ling Xian shook his head and chuckled, "Don't turn your back on me."
"If I turn my back on you, then I won't come."
Thieving World mumbled, "I just don't want to."
"You don't have to. We agreed at the beginning that we would split the loot 50-50."
Ling Xian thought about it, "How about this, the Holy Jade Bottle is useless to me. You can keep it and the Saber of the Day will be split 50-50."
Hearing this, Thieving World was first ecstatic. Then, his face fell.
"This Saber is already a finished product. How can we split it in half?"
"Smelt it into the Divine Gold of the Day."
Ling Xian softly grinned, "I've seen that Saber. Honestly speaking, the crafting method is very rough and it completely wastes the Divine Gold of the Day. Why don't we smelt it? It'll be more valuable that way. "
"Really?" Thieving World was skeptical.
"Of course. You have to believe in my skills with crafts." Ling Xian softly smiled. His knowledge of crafts was inherited from Duan Shan He. Though he wasn't a grandmaster yet, his eyesight was better than normal grandmasters.
Therefore, he already knew that the Saber of the Day was of low quality. Why don't we turn it back into the Divine Gold of the Day and reforge it?
"Okay, I believe you."
Thieving World nodded. He took out the Saber of the Day and handed it over to Ling Xian.
At this, Ling Xian flapped around his sleeve. The Flame of Purity appeared and wrapped around the Saber tightly.
Instantly, a terrifying high temperature expanded and the surrounding temperature shot up to its peak. However, the Saber of the Day showed no signs of melting.
Ling Xian wasn't surprised by this.
Though the crafting method was rough, it was made from the Divine Gold of the Day after all. Naturally, it wouldn't melt that easily.
Therefore, he formed a hand seal to increase the temperature of the Flame of Purity and to melt the Saber of the Day.
Just like that, time passed by little by little.
After a full three days, the Saber of the Day finally melted into a palm-sized golden material. As for the other materials, they were all melted.
Then, Ling Xian took out Zi Yao and slashed at the Divine Gold of the Day.
Crack!
Sparks flew everywhere and the palm-sized Divine Gold of the Day was split in half. Blinding light lit up the entire universe.
Thief of the World's eyes lit up at the same time.
This was the Divine Gold of the Day!
Even though it was only half, it was still an invaluable treasure. Naturally, he was overjoyed.
Ling Xian felt the same way.
Not only did he acquire the Book of Enlightenment and the Marrow of the Dragon, he also acquired the Divine Gold of the Day.
"Now, I will wait for trouble to come knocking on my door."
Ling Xian softly grinned, "Then, I will go into isolation and no longer care about what happens in the world. Let everyone else fight for the opportunity to become an immortal."
Then, he closed his eyes and sat quietly in the middle of the yard.
Two days later, countless silhouettes descended. Without exception, they were all powerhouses of the sixth level or above.
These people were also very overbearing. Not only did they release their Qi, but their tone was also very threatening.
"Ling Xian, hand over the Soaring Key!"
