"That is … Master Ling!"
"Master Ling is back? I haven't seen him for so many years and he is still as extraordinary and elegant as ever. "
"He is the legendary Ling Xian? He truly is extraordinary like an immortal. "
Everyone exclaimed. Some were happy, some were respectful.
Ling Xian was famous in the Kingdom of Immortality. Not everyone knew about him, but he wasn't far from it. This was especially so in the Three Lives Pavilion. His deeds were widely known, and everyone knew them like they were their family treasures.
Therefore, his appearance caused a commotion.
This made Ling Xian shake his head and laugh. Ignoring all the admiring gazes, he headed straight towards the main peak.
Since he was back, it was only right for him to greet the ruler.
When he landed, Xiang Jiu Chen had already come out to greet him with a happy smile on his face.
"Ling Xian, you are finally back."
Hearing this, Ling Xian smiled as well. He was somewhat happy.
He and Xiang Jiu Chen have known each other for many years and recognized each other as friends. Therefore, he faintly smiled, "It's been many years since we last met. Leader, you are even more elegant than before."
"Don't flatter me."
Xiang Jiu Chen waved his hand. His eyes flashed with shock, "You, on the other hand, I can't even tell what your capabilities are now."
Hearing this, Ling Xian softly grinned and deactivated his technique. The Qi of someone at the peak of the Melding Path engulfed the entire place.
Xiang Jiu Chen froze.
He knew Ling Xian had extraordinary talent and that his cultivation would improve by leaps and bounds. But he didn't think Ling Xian would be at the peak of the Melding Path!
Remember that when he left, he was in the intermediate stage of the Melding Path. After a few short years, he had reached the peak of the Melding Path. How unbelievable was this?
Xiang Jiu Chen was shocked. Only after a long while did he let out a sigh of admiration and bitterness.
"You truly are a heaven-defying monster. Far too insane."
Hearing this, Ling Xian smiled but didn't say anything.
Under normal circumstances, he couldn't have broken through two levels in such a short period of time. But who told him to run into fortune in the Sorcerer Realm?
"Comparing myself to you is infuriating. Compared to you, I truly feel defeated."
Xiang Jiu Chen exclaimed, "Let's not talk about that. You must've heard about the Path to Heaven."
"The Stairway to Heaven that connects to the starry sky has appeared. It's hard not to know about it."
Ling Xian softly grinned and shifted his gaze to the distance. His eyes flickered with anticipation.
This Heavenly Path was no different from the Futu Domain. Both of them led from the ground to the heavens. No matter how far away one was, one could see it with the naked eye.
"You're probably going to participate, right?" Ninedust's tone was complicated, filled with both reluctance and envy.
"Of course. The Path to Ascension to the Heavens has finally appeared. If we miss it, then we'll regret it for life."
Ling Xian softly grinned, "Plus, even if I don't want to become an Immortal, I should at least see the mysterious galaxy."
"Yes. This is a chance that only comes once in hundreds of thousands of years." Xiang Ninedust let out a long sigh. Aside from envy, there was also bitterness.
This caused Ling Xian to frown, noticing Xiang Jiuchen's strange behavior. "Are you not planning on going?"
"I want to go, but I can't."
Xiang Ninedust let out a long sigh. "As the master of the Pavilion of Three Lives, the responsibilities on my shoulders are far too heavy. If I were to die in space, how would I be able to face my master? How would I be able to face all the previous masters? "
Hearing this, Ling Xian fell silent.
Xiang Jiuchen was right. The responsibilities on his shoulders were far too heavy. Everyone else could go, but he couldn't. Because he was responsible for the entire Pavilion of Three Lives. He couldn't even leave for a long period of time, much less die.
"Oh well, my cultivation is far too low. There's no way I'll get the only chance to become an Immortal. There's no difference whether I go or not." Xiang Jiuchen sighed softly.
"You are a good leader. You are worthy of respect." Ling Xian's expression was serious, and his eyes were filled with admiration.
The Path to Ascension was extremely tempting. Even if there was no chance of becoming an Immortal, the mysterious galaxy was still worth exploring.
It was a mysterious place that stood on the same level as the Immortal Realm. How many people wouldn't want to go?
But for the Pavilion of Three Lives, Xiang Jiuchen had no choice but to make sacrifices. This alone made him worthy of respect.
"To be able to receive your sincere praise is worth it."
Xiang Jiuchen smiled. "Since Master has placed the Pavilion of Three Lives in my hands, then I must accept this responsibility. Even if I have to sacrifice everything, I won't hesitate."
"To have a leader like you is the fortune of the Pavilion of Three Lives." Ling Xian sighed softly. There was respect, but also regret.
But from another perspective, this was a good thing.
The Path to Ascension was an opportunity, yes, but it was also filled with danger. Even peak seventh level powerhouses couldn't guarantee that they would be able to escape unscathed, much less a sixth level cultivator like Xiang Jiuchen.
"It's fine if you don't go. At the very least, you'll be safe." Ling Xian smiled.
"Yes. Given my cultivation, going would be a waste of time. If I'm not careful, I'll end up as cannon fodder." Xiang Jiuchen teased. "You, on the other hand, need to be careful."
"Two days ago, I received news that quite a few powerhouses who have been in seclusion for many years have emerged."
"Without exception, they are all old monsters of the seventh level."
"If the Path to Ascension hadn't appeared, I wouldn't even know that the Luo Yang Region had so many seventh level powerhouses."
Xiang Jiuchen exclaimed.
"I understand." Ling Xian faintly smiled, not at all surprised.
Once the Path to Ascension was revealed, it was hard for anyone to remain calm. It was normal for all the old monsters to come out.
"As long as you understand."
Xiang Jiuchen nodded. "If you need anything, just ask. The Pavilion of Three Lives will help you."
Hearing this, Ling Xian's heart warmed. However, he didn't need anything.
He trained in the supreme cosmic technique and had the Disorder Conquering Fists and the Eyes of Execution. He had no need for techniques.
He also had all four paths: arrays, talismans, medicine, and alchemy. Whether it was arrays, talismans, medicinal pills, or treasures, he could make them himself. There was no need for the Pavilion of Three Lives.
"Thank you for your kind intentions, Leader. Right now, I just want to break through to the seventh level before the Path to Heaven completely takes shape."
Ling Xian softly grinned, "Sadly, it is far too difficult."
"You'll have to rely on yourself for that. There's nothing I can do." Xiang Jiuchen smiled helplessly.
"Yeah. The seventh level is not that easy to break through to, especially in such a short amount of time."
Ling Xian sighed softly. He suddenly remembered something and said, "Right, Leader, the Pavilion of Scriptures should have records about the seventh level, right?"
"Of course. I remember there's a book that describes the seventh level in detail. Do you want to go take a look?" Xiang Jiuchen asked.
"That's right. With my current level of training, I cannot compete against those old monsters."
Ling Xian's eyes brightened. "If I can break through to the seventh level, then I'll have some confidence. At the very least, I'll be able to protect myself."
"Alright. I remember that book is on the seventh level. Take my token and you can enter." Xiang Jiuchen waved his sleeve, and his token appeared.
"Thank you, Leader."
Ling Xian accepted the token, cupped his fists at Xiang Jiuchen, and then flew towards the Pavilion of Scriptures.
After a while, he arrived at the Pavilion of Scriptures and went straight to the seventh level.
Then, Ling Xian saw the book that described the seventh level in detail.
