Back then, to hide the Guardian City, Feng Qing Ming and Duan Shan He created an array to hide their presence.
This array was named the Heaven Shadowing Array. It was a flawless array of the perfect level. Though it was a simplified version with only 30% of its original power, it was perfect in terms of hiding its presence.
Therefore, Ling Xian silently left the first area without anyone noticing.
Then, he followed the route he asked around and headed towards the Holy Temple.
Half an hour later, he arrived at the core area of the Holy Island. It was where the Dark Fragrance Silk was placed.
It was a majestic palace. There was no air of nobility, but it was full of vicissitudes. It was a precious imprint that only time can leave behind.
Out of all the buildings Ling Xian has ever seen, this palace was definitely one of the top three. Like a sleeping beast, it pressured everyone.
"So this is the Holy Temple. It sure is grand."
Ling Xian softly sighed. As much as he exclaimed, he frowned.
This was because there were far too many powerhouses around. Ignoring the distance, there were at least 10 sixth leveled cultivators around the palace. Some of them did not pale next to him.
Because of this, he naturally felt troubled.
"The security is too tight. These people are easy to deal with. With my capabilities, they won't be hard to deal with. But if I alarm the seventh leveled cultivators, then even if I have 100 lives, it won't be enough. "
Ling Xian softly sighed, his head hurt.
Under the watch of more than 10 sixth leveled cultivators, it would be extremely difficult for him to sneak in and escape unscathed.
Therefore, Ling Xian was troubled. No matter how much he thought about it, there was only one solution.
Which was to maintain his original plan and steal the Dark Fragrance Silk.
Though this was risky and if he is discovered, he will die for sure. But other than this, he really had no other solutions. He also had to do it now. Or else he won't live to see the next time.
"Let's give it my all. I'm going to die either way."
Ling Xian mumbled to himself. His gaze turned determined. Then, he made a move and landed before the door of the Holy Temple.
Yes, he didn't hide his presence at all. In fact, it was very obvious.
Yet nobody noticed him and nobody showed up.
This was a habit of cultivators. After being able to release their souls, most cultivators have gotten used to using their Qi to sense. This was because the range of perception of the divine soul was very wide, at least wider than the eyes.
Therefore, the powerhouses guarding this place were all hiding in different places. They were merely monitoring with their Qi and did not personally guard.
If this was anyone else, they wouldn't have been able to escape the senses of these powerhouses. However, Ling Xian was an anomaly. In other words, the Heaven Shrouding Divine Formation was too perfect.
Though it was merely a simplified version with 30 percent of its original power, the Heaven Shadowing Array was flawless. Even a seventh level cultivator would not be able to detect Ling Xian, let alone a sixth level cultivator.
Therefore, he casually stood at the entrance of the palace as if he was in his own backyard.
If anyone were to witness this, especially the people from the Sacred Island, they would be so furious that their lungs would explode.
This palace was the most important place on the Divine Sacred Island. There was no other place like it. Yet, someone had walked right up to the entrance. This was unbelievable!
"It's easier than I expected, but this restriction …"
Seeing that nobody showed up, Ling Xian sighed in relief. However, when he saw the inhibition array on the door, he frowned.
There were a total of 108 inhibition arrays on the door. 54 of them were arrays and the other half were talismans. The two of them combined into one and complemented each other, and it gave off a rather natural feeling.
Or in other words, it was perfect.
Therefore, even with Ling Xian's profound knowledge of arrays and talismans, he felt troubled.
Fortunately, this restriction was not truly perfect, and he was a genuine Talisman Grandmaster, a Formation Grandmaster!
"It is no wonder the Holy Island is so rich."
Exclaiming, Ling Xian no longer hesitated and began to break the array.
With his knowledge of arrays and talismans, it wasn't hard to break the array. However, it would take a long time.
Therefore, Ling Xian used every second he had to break the array. At the same time, he silently prayed that he wouldn't be discovered.
After he broke a quarter of the array, he realized in shock that the array was incomplete. It was as if someone had broken it before.
"Was it already incomplete, or did someone break it before me?" Ling Xian frowned and got rid of his previous guess.
Remember that this palace was the most important place on the Holy Island. If the array was incomplete, why would it be here?
Therefore, the possibility of the latter was higher. In other words, someone had entered the Holy Temple before him. Their goal was obviously to steal.
"Someone had the same idea as me …"
The corner of Ling Xian's lips curled up. He suddenly felt like he was not alone anymore. But in the next second, his smile turned into urgency.
The person who broke the array had the same idea as him. But that person had already entered. This meant if he doesn't get in now, he won't even get any leftovers.
Therefore, Ling Xian carefully pushed open the door and walked in.
Then, he saw a scene that shocked him.
He saw an unkempt old man floating in midair. To put it more accurately, he was tied up in midair by four golden ropes. Around his body, there was a rune formation network that supported the golden rope, firmly locking him in place.
With Ling Xian's cultivation level, he could tell at first glance that these arrays were extraordinary. They were stronger than the inhibition array on the door.
At the same time, he recognized the golden ropes and exclaimed, "The Immortal Binding Rope!"
Just then, the elder was a little startled and shifted his gaze towards Ling Xian. Other than caution, there was shock.
He thought of himself as capable and was well-versed in the art of hiding. Yet he couldn't sense Ling Xian's Qi. It was as if the person standing before him was a ghost.
Therefore, the elder was a little surprised.
"It's not the real Immortal Binding Rope, it's merely a replica. But there are four of them, plus the array, even a cultivator at the peak of the seventh level would not be able to escape in a short amount of time. "
Ling Xian frowned and the shock on his face faded away.
The Immortal Binding Rope was a famous treasure. Even in the history of time, it was one of the top treasures. Legend had it that in the ancient times, it could even bind real immortals. It was truly heavenly.
This was why Ling Xian exclaimed in shock. But now, of course, it was nothing.
"Young man, you have good eyesight. You can tell it's a replica right away." The elder's shock intensified. However, his cautiousness lessened.
This was all because he confirmed Ling Xian's identity.
If he was from the Holy Island, he wouldn't have exclaimed because of the golden ropes. Yet he entered the Holy Temple. With that, the answer was obvious.
"You are too kind."
Ling Xian brandished his hand. If he couldn't even tell it was a replica, then he wouldn't deserve to be called a grandmaster of crafts.
"If I'm not wrong, you have the same thought as me."
The elder smiled, "If that's the case, then we are destined to meet. We should help each other."
Hearing this, Ling Xian smiled.
From a certain angle, he and the elder were destined to meet. But they were also competitors with conflicting interests. Why should he help?
