"My name is Xian Ling. Sorry for troubling you."
The man in white had a faint smile on his lips. Like an immortal, he was above everyone else.
It was Ling Xian.
He arrived at the Holy Island a long time ago and heard the elder explain the rules. The reason why he was ranked last was because he secretly asked around.
For example, the history of the Holy Island, where the treasures were, and the Fragrance Silk Flower.
The answers he received made Ling Xian bitterly smile. He didn't have much hope anymore.
The Fragrance Silk Flower was placed inside the Holy Temple. That was the most important area of the Holy Island. There were countless powerhouses there. Even if he was at the peak of the seventh level, he may not be able to steal it, let alone with his sixth level cultivation.
However, Ling Xian had to go.
The Holy Island only activates once every 100 years. If he misses this opportunity, with his limited lifespan, he won't be able to last until the next time.
Therefore, Ling Xian made up his mind. No matter how difficult it is, he had to try.
"Xian Ling? Good name. "
The elder complimented, his eyes full of admiration, "It's been so long. I finally met someone."
"You are flattering me." Ling Xian brandished his hand.
"Not at all. You have what it takes to win." The elder looked at Ling Xian with a smile. His voice wasn't loud, but everyone heard him clearly.
Instantly, all gazes were fixated on Ling Xian. The hostility was obvious.
"Elder, are you complimenting me or are you trying to harm me?"
Sensing everyone's hostility, Ling Xian shook his head with a bitter smile. He knew that the elder's statement had pushed him to the edge of the storm.
This meant he will receive everyone's attention. This was not a good thing.
"Of course I am complimenting you. Only those who are not envied by others are mediocre. Which God Emperor in the past didn't have the entire world as their enemy?"
The elder looked at Ling Xian with a smile, "Only by defeating everyone and conquering the world can one reach the peak and become a God Emperor."
"That is true. But I am someone who is afraid of trouble." Ling Xian was helpless. He had no interest in winning. He only came here with one goal – the Fragrance Silk Flower.
Yet now, the elder's casual statement had pushed him to the edge of the storm. This will for sure hinder his actions.
"If you are afraid of trouble, then I will solve it once and for all."
The elder chuckled, making Ling Xian want to beat him up.
What did it mean to solve the problem in one go?
Could it be that he had to suppress everyone with his own strength? What a joke!
Ling Xian felt helpless and didn't want to waste any more time with the elder. He said, "Elder, give me the token."
Hearing this, the elder engraved the name Xian Ling and a mysterious array on the jade plate before handing it over to Ling Xian.
Some sharp-eyed people secretly memorized the name Xian Ling and planned on paying attention to how many points he had.
"Every time during the trial, us old fellows would make a bet to see who would come out on top."
The elder smiled, "This time, I am betting on you. Don't disappoint me."
"Then Senior should be mentally prepared to lose."
Ling Xian softly grinned and no longer paid attention to the elder. He turned around and headed towards the forest.
That was the first region, and it was also the starting point of the trial.
After Ling Xian entered the forest, the first thing he did wasn't to kill any beasts. Instead, he climbed up to the top of the tree and checked the jade plates.
He didn't believe that the jade plates only had the ability to calculate points and send them back to the screen. He felt like there must be some other unknown ability.
Reality was just as he predicted. The jade plates had another ability. To him, it was a catastrophic ability.
Tracking.
The jade plates were used to calculate points and everyone had to carry them with them. In other words, everyone's location was under the control of the Holy Island. This was done to prevent people from taking advantage of the situation and harming the Holy Island.
"There is something fishy going on."
Ling Xian softly sighed. If this was anyone else, they wouldn't have been able to find out. Even the candidate of the God Emperor didn't have this ability. But he was different. He was a grandmaster of crafts and arrays. No matter how well someone hides, they can't escape his eyes.
This made him silently rejoice. He rejoiced that he was careful and that he had great attainments in arrays and crafts.
It was easy to predict that if he brought the jade plate to steal the Hidden Fragrance Silk, he would be caught before he could even get there.
Therefore, Ling Xian naturally felt lucky. At the same time, he felt a headache.
Taking the jade tablet to steal the Hidden Fragrance Silk Silk was clearly courting death. In other words, he could only throw away the jade tablet.
However, if the jade pendant stayed in one place for a long time, it would definitely arouse the suspicion of the Divine Sacred Island. At that time, it would be equally dangerous.
"What should I do to avoid arousing the Island's suspicions …" Ling Xian thought hard and wracked his brain.
After a while, he thought of a place, the Purifying Soul Lake.
This lake was a famous treasure on the Divine Sacred Island. It had the magical ability to purify souls. If one's soul was polluted, they only needed to soak in the lake to get rid of the impurities.
Of course, this wasn't what Ling Xian cared about. His soul was pure and flawless and didn't need to be purified.
What he was concerned about was that he could stay at the Purifying Soul Lake for a long time without arousing the suspicion of the Divine Sacred Island. Moreover, it was in the first zone.
"If I toss the medallion into the lake, the people of the Divine Sacred Island will definitely think that I am purifying my soul. They will not think that there is only a jade medallion."
"After that, I can secretly leave the trial grounds and head for the Divine Sacred Hall."
The corner of Ling Xian's lips curled up, revealing a faint smile.
Then, he made his move in search of the Purifying Soul Lake.
The first zone wasn't large and the Purifying Soul Lake wasn't small either. Therefore, after a while, he saw the clear water.
It was so clear that he could see the bottom of the lake and was emitting pure white light. It gave off a peaceful vibe.
Inside the lake, many people were sitting with their eyes closed. They were using the purifying energy to cleanse their polluted souls.
"What a magical place. Sadly, it is useless to me. No, it is somewhat useful."
Ling Xian softly grinned. His soul was pure and flawless and didn't need to be purified.
Therefore, the Purifying Soul Lake's purpose for him was to hide his tracks and confuse the Island's surveillance.
Therefore, Ling Xian quietly dived into the lake and hid the jade medallion at the bottom. Then, he used an array to hide his silhouette and silently left.
The entire process was silent and without a trace. No one noticed it.
"I can head to the Divine Sacred Hall now. But before I go, I need to hide my Qi." Ling Xian thought about it and began to simplify the Heaven Shadowing Array.
This array was created by Feng Qing Ming and Duan Shan He. It was known as the number one array in the world and could perfectly hide one's Qi.
Therefore, Ling Xian decided to simplify it. That was the only way to ensure that nobody would find out.
With his knowledge as an array grandmaster, accomplishing this was a piece of cake. After a short while, he successfully simplified the array.
Though its power was only 30 percent of the real array, it was enough. At the very least, seventh leveled cultivators would not be able to find out.
"Let's go. Success or failure depends on this. If I succeed, I will be one step closer to lifting the curse. If I fail, I won't have to suffer anymore. At the very least, I will have a quick death. "
Ling Xian mumbled to himself. Like a ghost, he flew across the sky. Only his silhouette could be seen, but not his presence.
