"Is the mushroom not out yet?" Ling Xian changed the topic.
"Nope."
The elder shook his head and sighed, "She is still holding on. But based on what I see, it will be hard for her to last until the end."
"Why?" Ling Xian frowned.
"Her Dao heart is not strong enough."
The old man sighed and said, "You should have guessed it. The weaker one's faith is, the more intense the pain they will feel. That kind of extreme pain is something no one can endure."
Hearing this, Ling Xian nodded, agreeing with the elder.
During the baptism process, he had thought about giving up. At that moment, the pain he felt was extremely intense. After he killed the thought of giving up, the pain lessened a little.
This proved that the more determined one is, the less pain one feels. Vice versa, the more intense the pain.
The more intense the pain, the more one wants to give up.
However, Ling Xian did not think the mushroom would fail.
Perhaps she does not have a Dao heart, but her desire to get revenge was unshakable.
"How about we make a bet?" Ling Xian chuckled.
"What bet?" The elder was a little startled.
"Didn't you think the mushroom will fail?"
Ling Xian had a faint smile on his lips, "I think she will succeed. She will succeed for sure."
"You sure are confident in her." The elder stared at Ling Xian.
"I know her better than you do."
Ling Xian grinned, "Do you dare to make the bet?"
"What bet?" The elder asked.
"I heard the ancestral land of the Sea God is filled with fortune. If I win, you will give me a fortune."
Ling Xian grinned, "If I lose, I will give you a bottle of Water of the Resting Soul."
"You have Water of the Resting Soul?"
The elder's spirit was lifted and his eyes exploded with heavenly light.
He was a soul. To him, nothing was more tempting than a soul healing treasure. Even a drop of Water of the Resting Soul was enough to move his heart, let alone a bottle.
"Of course."
Ling Xian's expression was calm. He had half of the Lake of the Resting Soul, what was a bottle to him?
"Okay, I will make the bet!"
The elder was excited but also somewhat troubled.
He wanted the mushroom to complete the baptism and wanted to win the Water of the Resting Soul.
"Then it's settled."
Ling Xian chuckled, "Oh right, don't try to fool me with some worthless fortune. It has to be equal in value to the Water of the Resting Soul."
"Don't worry. If you win, I will give you a peerless fortune." The old man smiled mysteriously.
"Peerless fortune?"
Ling Xian's eyes brightened, "Don't feel bad when that happens."
"I should be the one saying that. The Water of the Resting Soul is one of the five treasures of the soul. If you give it to me, don't regret it." The elder mocked.
Ling Xian laughed as well.
Firstly, he did not think that Mushroom would fail. Secondly, a mere bottle of Soul Nurturing Water was really nothing.
Even if it was a bucket, he wouldn't feel the pinch.
"Just wait, the outcome will be revealed soon."
Ling Xian faintly smiled and closed his eyes to rest. He no longer spoke.
Half an hour later, the void suddenly twisted. Then, a peerless figure appeared.
At once, a boundless amount of godly energy descended, making her look like an unparalleled empress who ruled over three thousand worlds and suppressed all nine levels of heaven.
It was Mushroom.
Her physique was glowing and her energy was monstrous. Not only did her physique reach the undefeatable realm, it also reached the advanced stage of the seventh level.
This meant Ling Xian had won.
Therefore, he revealed a smile. The elder was half happy and half worried.
But very quickly, only happiness was left.
Mushroom was the only remaining descendant of the Oceanic Kind. As her guardian, of course he wanted the best for her.
"Ling Xian, you also completed your baptism?"
Mushroom was ecstatic. After thinking about it, she said, "If I am not wrong, you have reached the peak of the seventh level."
"That's right."
Ling Xian warmly smiled, "Congratulations on reaching the undefeatable realm of the physique and breaking through to the advanced stage of the seventh level."
"Sadly, I still did not catch up to you." Mushroom was disappointed.
"With your talent, it won't be hard for you to catch up to me." Ling Xian smiled.
"That's right."
The elder stared at Mushroom with a heated gaze, "Your blood, have you awakened half of it?"
"Yes."
Mushroom nodded with a smile. Her biggest gain from this trip wasn't her physique reaching the undefeatable realm, nor was it her breakthrough to the advanced stage of the seventh level. It was that she awakened half of her blood.
Remember that she had inherited all the blood of her kind. The density of her blood was close to that of the first Oceanic God. Even though it was only half awakened, it was already extremely powerful.
"Haha, God has eyes!"
The elder laughed out loud, "The Oceanic Kind has a successor. We will for sure regain our glory from the ancient times!"
"Guardian, do not worry. I will." Mushroom erased her smile and her tone was firm.
"You have the determination to do so. I can die in peace."
The elder smiled happily. The more he looked at Mushroom, the more satisfied he was, "It's because of this that you were able to last until the end."
Hearing this, Ling Xian chuckled. He was 100% certain that Mushroom was doing this because of hatred.
As expected, Mushroom shook her head and said word by word, "No, it's because I want revenge."
"Revenge …"
The elder silenced and sighed, "The enemy is far too powerful. You should know that he is an undefeatable cultivator."
"I know. But my desire for revenge will never waver," Mushroom said in a low voice.
"I won't stop you. But there is something you must remember."
The elder's expression was serious, "Before you are capable enough, do not be impulsive. Or else the Oceanic Kind will truly be extinct."
"Guardian, do not worry. I will remember."
Mushroom nodded, "I want to know the truth of what happened 30,000 years ago. Please tell me."
"Sure."
The elder thought about it, "But before that, I need to finish what I did with him."
Then, he shifted his gaze towards Ling Xian and smiled, "You win. I will keep my promise and give you a great fortune."
"I will also give you a bottle of Water of the Resting Soul."
Ling Xian grinned and took out a jade bottle. A jade bottle filled with Water of the Resting Soul.
To him, this was nothing. He didn't feel the pinch even if he tossed out a bucket.
Seeing that the elder gave him the chance to cleanse himself and gave him a great fortune, he decided to give this person a bottle.
"You are really giving it to me?"
The elder looked at Ling Xian and suddenly felt like he was more pleasing to the eye.
"I don't lie. Take it."
Ling Xian grinned and tossed the jade bottle to the elder. The elder was startled and quickly used his Qi to catch the bottle.
Then, he glared at Ling Xian, "This is priceless Water of the Resting Soul. What if it falls on the ground?"
"I will give you another bottle." Ling Xian shrugged, acting like he didn't care.
"You make it sound so easy."
The elder hissed, not believing that Ling Xian still had Water of the Resting Soul.
What he didn't know was that Ling Xian had half a Lake of the Resting Soul. He wouldn't mind wasting 80 to 100 bottles.
"Alright, give me the fortune."
Ling Xian's eyes flashed with anticipation, "I am very curious. What is this great fortune you speak of?"
"You will know when you get there."
The elder grinned and flapped around his sleeve, sending Mushroom and Ling Xian to a mysterious place.
Before they died, the two of them only heard one sentence.
"The truth of what happened 30,000 years ago will be revealed there."
