The giant Sun hung high in the sky, shedding down an infinite amount of light.
Floating above the boundless sea were six men with extraordinary auras and a beautiful blue-clothed woman.
It was Ling Xian, Yan Ning Zhi, and the five completion leveled cultivators who helped.
"Thank you, seniors, for helping me."
Ling Xian carried Zi Dong Lai's body on his back and paid his respect to the five people before him. He smiled sincerely, "If you didn't help me, I bet I would've become a corpse by now."
"You are being too polite. The way I see it, you are not an idiot who would rush forward despite knowing you are going to die. Even without our help, you would've had the ability to escape." The grey-haired elder stroke his beard and revealed a kind smile.
The studious-looking man flapped his fan and grinned, "I think so too. Based on the capabilities you displayed before, you must've had some tricks up your sleeves that allowed you to escape from the two completion leveled cultivators. You could've even injured them."
"Seniors, you must be joking. I am merely a foundational cultivator. How could I injure completion leveled cultivators?" Ling Xian continued to smile, purposely acting like he didn't have any tricks up his sleeves.
However, reality was that the two elders were not wrong. He did have an ace up his sleeve. An ace he acquired after breaking through to the undefeatable realm of the foundational level.
This ace was extremely powerful. It was just that after using it, it would hurt his body a lot. Therefore, he didn't reveal it. Or else he wouldn't have needed the help of these five completion leveled cultivators. He could've escaped by himself.
If he didn't have this ace up his sleeve, Ling Xian would've left with the other cultivators and wouldn't have blocked the door. He wouldn't have risked his life to steal Zi Dong Lai's body from Li Jian Yi and Ning Wu Ji.
"Haha, don't be so humble. You are someone who fought against four completion leveled cultivators. How can you call yourself a foundational cultivator? How can there be a foundational cultivator as insane as you? "The elder in white laughed. The way he looked at Ling Xian was full of admiration.
The studious-looking man reacted the same way. He found it hard to hide the admiration and fondness he had for Ling Xian. He smiled, "A foundational cultivator like you is the first I've seen in my 200 to 300 years of life."
"That's right. Extreme state cultivators like you have a special title in the Immortal Cultivation World. It's called King." The middle-aged man from the Qing Ming Palace grinned. "These two words mean that in the foundational realm, you are like a king who rules over the world. You are undefeatable."
"You have flattered me." Ling Xian softly grinned. His expression remained calm and collected, without a trace of arrogance.
Seeing this, the five completion leveled cultivators' looks of admiration intensified. Everyone was silently nodding, and their evaluation of Ling Xian increased by a notch.
"Neither arrogant nor rash, such a calm temperament, truly extraordinary."
The elder in white stroked his beard and smiled. "If this was anyone else who became the victor of the foundational level and fought against four completion leveled cultivators, I'm afraid their tails would be raised to the sky. Yet, you're so indifferent, as if you don't care about these people at all. Such a temperament is definitely not something an ordinary person can compare to. "
Ling Xian bitterly smiled, "Senior, you aren't here just to compliment me, are you?"
Hearing this, the elder and the other powerhouses froze for a moment before bursting into laughter.
"It's all my fault. I'm getting old. When I see a talent that can be molded, I can't help but talk too much. Especially when I see someone as outstanding as you, a young and promising Heaven's Favorite, I can't stop complimenting you. "
The elder shook his head, "Alright, let's not waste anymore time. Let me introduce myself. I am Yan Tian Nan, the third grandpa of Ning Zhi. "
"I am Yu Qing Shuang, an Elder of the House of Wu Ji." The studious man fanned himself, displaying his extraordinary temperament.
The middle-aged man smiled and paid his respect, "I am an Elder of the Qing Ming Palace. My name is Lin Tian."
"I won't tell you my name. Everyone on the 36 islands calls me Granny Hua." The white-haired elder smiled kindly.
The last completion leveled cultivator was surrounded by a white fog that obscured his face and silhouette. However, one could see the pair of eyes that sent chills down everyone's spine.
"You don't need to know my name. When the time comes, you will know." The person spoke slowly. His voice was hoarse and it was impossible to tell if he was a man or a woman.
"Senior …" Ling Xian frowned slightly. He wanted to say something, but before he could finish, he was interrupted by the mysterious man.
"There is no need to ask and no need to thank me. I helped you out of convenience." The person threw out this statement and disappeared before everyone's eyes. All that was left was the white fog that slowly dissipated into the air.
"I …" Ling Xian was stunned.
Noticing Ling Xian's confusion, Yan Tian Nan brandished his hand and smiled, "Ignore him. His background is mysterious and he has always been a loner. Nobody on the 36 islands knows his gender."
"If that's the case … Alright." Ling Xian smiled helplessly. He originally wanted to thank this person. No matter what, this person helped him out. He had to repay this favor.
"Alright, let's not waste any more time."
Yu Qing Shuang suddenly spoke. He wiped off his smile and said in a serious tone, "Ling Xian, let me ask you. Are you willing to join the House of Wu Ji? No matter if you want to be an Elder or a direct disciple, just say the word and I will agree."
"Hmm?"
Ling Xian frowned. But before he could speak, the man named Lin Tian spoke first. As he tried to suppress Yu Qing Shuang, he also stated his conditions.
"Hmmph, who does the House of Wu Ji think you are? Ling Xian, don't listen to him. As long as you join the House of Qing Ming, techniques, weapons, or beautiful women, I will satisfy you. "
As soon as his voice trailed off, Granny Hua made an even bigger promise.
"Ling Xian, don't listen to them. Come to the House of Cang Hua. Just say the word and I will satisfy you."
Instantly, Yu Qing Shuang's expression darkened and he said in a cold voice, "You two, are you planning on stealing people from the House of Wu Ji?"
Lin Tian hissed, "Hmmph, so what if we do? You think the House of Qing Ming is afraid of you? "
"The House of Cang Hua is not afraid of the House of Wu Ji either." Granny Hua smiled.
The three of them represented the top forces on the 36 islands. Their capabilities were similar and none of them could do anything to the other. Therefore, Lin Tian and Granny Hua were not afraid of Yu Qing Shuang.
"You!"
Yu Qing Shuang's expression was heavy as water. Terrifying Qi seeped out of his body and he asked coldly, "You two, do you want to fight?"
"Let's fight. Who's afraid of who?" Lin Tian didn't back down.
Granny Hua didn't speak. However, the terrifying Qi that seeped out of her body made her attitude clear.
Seeing that the three completion leveled powerhouses were about to start a fight because of him, Ling Xian shook his head helplessly. He didn't think he would be this attractive. Not only did these three powerhouses make promises, but they were also willing to make a move.
This made him a little proud and a little helpless.
"Aye … how troublesome."
Ling Xian silently sighed and slowly opened his mouth, "Seniors, I wonder if you can listen to me for a moment?"
Immediately, three pairs of eyes turned to look at him.
