On top of the cliff, the elder was in awe and mumbled, "He really did it."
"I am only suppressing it temporarily, not solving it."
Ling Xian brandished his hand. His face was pale and his breathing was weak.
With his current level of cultivation, even with the help of the Ghost Seeker, he cannot solve the Soul Retrieving Chains. He could only suppress them temporarily.
However, to the elder, this was already shocking.
The Soul Retrieving Chains were scarier than demon beasts. Even with his full strength, he could only suppress two to three of them.
Yet Ling Xian had suppressed all nine Soul Retrieving Chains. Naturally, he was shocked.
"Teaming up with you was the right choice."
The elder exhaled deeply and looked at Ling Xian with complexity.
"It's too early to talk about this."
Ling Xian softly grinned and manipulated the Primitive Technique to replenish his energy.
After some time, he recovered and said, "Let's go. My technique can suppress the Soul Retrieving Chains for at most half an hour. Let's not waste any more time."
Then, he stepped forward and the chains on his body floated away.
Everyone else did the same.
They didn't know what the Soul Retrieving Chains were and they didn't know what technique Ling Xian used. But his powerfulness was obvious to all. Therefore, everyone followed closely.
Reality proved that they made the right decision.
Whether it was the River of Blood or the Soul Retrieving Chains, they acted as if they didn't exist. They didn't even make a sound.
Therefore, everyone easily passed through the River of Blood and arrived at the cliff on the other side.
"It's all thanks to this young master. Otherwise, I would have fallen down."
"Yeah, even though I don't know what this river is, I think if I fall in, not even my bones will be left."
"And these nine chains … they give me a terrifying feeling. Thank god you are here."
Everyone chimed in and expressed their gratitude.
However, Ling Xian didn't seem to hear them.
He stared at the nine carvings on the wall and his brows slowly frowned.
The elder did the same.
He hesitated for a moment before asking, "What do these patterns represent?"
"I don't know. I can only feel the vibrations in space."
Ling Xian shook his head. He couldn't tell what the nine carvings represented or what abilities they had. But the feeling they gave him was that they were portals.
"I felt it too. Could it be … a portal?" The elder frowned.
"Try it and you'll know," a middle-aged man said, his right hand pasted on the leftmost pattern.
Instantly, a blinding light exploded and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The middle-aged man also disappeared at the same time.
Everyone was shocked, and their faces darkened.
Ling Xian's expression turned serious as well, "It really is a portal."
"Looks like these are the nine paths. If I choose correctly, I'll live. If I choose wrongly, I'll die."
The old man narrowed his eyes and asked, "Which one are you going to choose?"
"It doesn't matter which one you choose."
Ling Xian spoke softly, "This is the Tomb of a Thousand Deaths and One Death. There is no way out. All roads are filled with danger."
"That's true."
The old man smiled and said, "It seems like we can only resign ourselves to fate."
"No, to be more precise, I'll do my best and leave the rest to fate."
Ling Xian softly grinned, "Let's go. We will pick the one in the middle."
As he spoke, he placed his left hand on the centermost pattern. The old man did the same.
Then, a dazzling divine light gushed out and took the two of them away.
Seeing this, everyone looked at each other before choosing a pattern and being teleported to an unknown region.
…
The wind blew and the air was eerie.
In the endless graveyard, a blinding light lit up. Then, two silhouettes appeared.
One of them was unkempt and had a wretched expression, making him look like an old beggar.
One of them was handsome and refined, like a banished immortal with peerless elegance and style.
It was Ling Xian and the elder.
"A graveyard that is thousands of miles long, countless tombstones …"
Staring at the cold and eerie graveyard, Ling Xian frowned and the Flower of Dao slowly materialized.
The elder also used his defensive technique and didn't dare to be reckless.
This was the legendary Tomb of a Thousand Deaths and One Death. It was probably built by the Alchemy Ancestor himself. Only God knows how dangerous this place is.
"Why are there so many tombstones in the Tomb of the Alchemy Ancestor?"
Ling Xian was suspicious. He walked to the tombstone closest to him and saw that it was completely blank. There wasn't a single word on it.
Immediately, his gaze swept across the area. Every tombstone that entered his sight was empty.
"This is strange."
Ling Xian frowned and suddenly realized something. He couldn't help but bitterly chuckle.
"I think we are in big trouble."
Just then, a powerful amount of energy appeared.
HOMMMM!
The tombstone closest to Ling Xian began to shake. As it unleashed heavenly energy, it also began to exude an infinite amount of black energy.
In the next second, the black energy solidified and transformed into an armored spirit that dashed towards Ling Xian.
The spear in its hand was incomparably sharp. After one strike, the void was destroyed!
This surprised Ling Xian. He summoned the Halberd of the Divine Warrior and was forced to fight.
DONG!
After a loud rumble, Ling Xian stumbled back seven steps. His arm was numb.
The spirit also stumbled back seven steps.
Its face was emotionless as it pointed its spear at Ling Xian. Its killer's intent locked onto him.
"Very strong."
Ling Xian's expression turned serious. Though he was merely using his physique, he was of the intermediate stage of the seventh level.
To be able to numb his arm after one strike was enough to prove how powerful this spirit was.
This was under the condition that it was dead. It wasn't hard to imagine how terrifying it was when it was alive.
"A spirit …"
The elder squinted his eyes and his expression changed drastically.
Ling Xian's expression changed as well.
This was because more than 10 tombstones were shaking and emitting black energy that transformed into more than 20 spirits.
They were all wearing armor and holding onto spears. Every single one of them was aggressive and shook up the surroundings.
That kind of demeanor was enough to make even Ling Xian and the elder waver.
"Just like you said, it is troublesome." The elder bitterly smiled.
"What can I do? I have to give it my all."
Ling Xian softly sighed. One spirit was enough to exchange a few rebuttals with him. With so many spirits attacking him at the same time, he naturally felt troubled.
"Let's fight."
The elder's expression turned cold. He raised his hand and a long knife appeared. Killer's intent filled the air.
In the next second, he charged out with his knife and fought against the spirits.
Ling Xian did the same.
He wore the Armor of the Royal Spirits and held onto the Halberd of the Divine Warrior. Like an immortal God, he fought against all nine levels of heaven and all 10 levels of hell.
HOMMM, HOMMM, HOMMM!
The spirits attacked aggressively. Every single one of them, every single move, carried with it the determination to push forward until death!
This surprised Ling Xian. The elder reacted the same way.
Remember that spirits have no thoughts and only act according to their instincts.
In other words, when they were alive, they fought with their lives on the line until death!
"Just who are they …"
Ling Xian was confused. But the situation before him gave him no time to think.
Facing more than twenty valiant Heroic Spirits, the slightest carelessness could lead to his death!
Therefore, Ling Xian had no other thoughts. The Halberd of the Divine Warrior swept around and fought against the spirits.
His movements were bold and unrivalled. Even though he was surrounded by many heroic spirits, he was still calm and unruffled, displaying his peerless style!
Slowly, the spirits could no longer hold on. Though they had an undying desire to fight, they were dead after all and could not be maintained for long.
Therefore, they were slowly being crushed by Ling Xian and the elder. They turned into black energy and drained into the ground.
