In the Central Domain, inside a dense forest to the east of the Hall of Stars.
Ling Xian paid his respect to everyone and smiled, "Thank you, everyone."
"You are being too polite. We should be the ones thanking you."
The elder in black waved his hand. Everyone else did the same.
If it weren't for Ling Xian, they would've been trapped in the Prison of Eternal Darkness for the rest of their lives. Not only would they lose their freedom, but they would also be tortured and humiliated.
Why wouldn't they be grateful? Why would they dare to accept Ling Xian's gratitude?
"That's a different matter."
Ling Xian softly grinned, "What plans do you all have?"
"Revenge." The elder in black spoke in a low voice. He didn't hide his hatred at all.
Everyone else did the same.
The hatred between them and the Hall of Stars was as deep as the ocean and there was no way to resolve it.
"I won't stop you from getting revenge. But, you have to do what you can," Ling Xian warned.
"I will remember Young Master's words." The black-robed old man nodded heavily.
"Okay, then let us part ways here."
Ling Xian softly grinned and glanced over everyone, "Everyone, take care."
"Take care!"
Everyone paid their respect. Other than gratitude in their eyes, there was respect.
The former was because Ling Xian saved them. The latter was because Ling Xian didn't ask for anything in return. He merely asked for a promise.
Though his behavior wasn't exactly noble, it was enough to earn everyone's respect.
Then, everyone left one by one. However, Robber Jiu Xiao and Hu Sheng didn't.
"Young man, shouldn't you give me the orbit?" Robber Jiu Xiao stared at the orbit and his saliva almost dripped out.
"I can't give it to you."
Ling Xian smiled. Looking at the orbit above his head, he was full of joy as if he saw hope.
"You are burning the bridge after crossing the river."
Robber Jiu Xiao glared at Ling Xian, "Who said the orbit belongs to me after I got it?"
"I did say that. But, did you get it?" Ling Xian's smile didn't diminish.
"F * ck you!"
Robber Jiuxiao was enraged and scolded: "Who was the one who risked their lives to stall those old men so that you could save them? And who was the one who used all his strength to block two level-eight powerhouses and let you snatch the treasure? "
"It's you, so I won't forget your kindness."
Ling Xian wiped off his smile and said in a serious tone, "I will compensate you with other treasures, but the Path of Stars is of great use to me. I really cannot give it to you."
"Other treasures?"
Robber Jiuxiao's eyes lit up, he said: "Tell me about it first."
"Take your pick."
Ling Xian flapped around his sleeve and took out all the treasures he had no use for.
There were spirit pills, magic treasures, divine medicines, and other miscellaneous items.
In an instant, colorful lights shone brightly as strange phenomena appeared. Countless treasures piled up like a mountain, causing Robber Jiuxiao and the others to fall into a daze.
Firstly, it was too much. Secondly, it was very good.
It wasn't an exaggeration to say that none of these treasures were inferior. Without exception, they were all shockingly valuable treasures.
Even Robber Nine Heavens, who was used to seeing treasures, was quite moved.
"Pick anything you like. Just take it as me making it up to you."
Ling Xian faintly smiled, not feeling the slightest bit of heartache.
To him, these treasures were of little value and were of no use to him at all. Instead of collecting dust in a corner, he might as well take them out to make it up to Robber Jiuxiao.
"Are you serious?" Robber Jiuxiao's eyes were shining and he was drooling.
"I don't lie." Ling Xian chuckled.
"Then can I take them all?" Robber Jiuxiao stared at Ling Xian.
"You sure don't hold back."
Ling Xian shook his head and chuckled, "20 at most. I won't give you anything more."
"Alright, 20 it is. It's worth it."
Robber Jiuxiao chuckled, he was very happy.
Though the Path of Stars was heaven-defying, it had no offensive capabilities and was useless to him. Out of these treasures, many were useful to him.
Therefore, he stopped fooling around and began to pick seriously.
Seeing this, Ling Xian shook his head with a smile and shifted his gaze towards Hu Sheng, "Why don't you pick a few as well."
"There's no need for me."
Hu Sheng brandished his hand, "The reason why I helped you was to pay you back for saving my life."
"Don't bring that up again. You don't owe me anything."
Ling Xian chuckled. Without Hu Sheng, he wouldn't have known how to surpass the undefeatable realm and he wouldn't have gotten the Path of Stars.
"You don't owe me anything either."
Hu Sheng stared at Ling Xian, "The reason why I stayed is because I want to ask you something."
"What is it?" Ling Xian was startled.
"Let's talk later." Hu Sheng glared at Robber Jiuxiao, obviously finding it inconvenient.
"Hehe, you guys talk, don't mind me." Robber Jiuxiao continued to pick.
At this, Ling Xian flapped around his sleeve and set up an array that blocked out the soul and hearing.
Then, he looked at Hu Sheng and smiled, "You can speak now."
"I want to ask …"
Hu Sheng was silent for a while, then his gentle gaze turned sharp, "Are you … a seed?"
"Seed?"
Ling Xian frowned, "I don't know what you mean."
"Then I will add three more words."
Hu Sheng stared at Ling Xian and said in a low voice, "The seed of a real immortal."
Hearing this, Ling Xian understood.
After the war 30,000 years ago, the Keeper of Land and Sea mentioned three things. The first was to leave a seed to fight against the demons.
"Why do you ask?" Ling Xian asked after a moment of silence.
"Instinct."
Hu Sheng looked at Ling Xian in a serious manner, "Instinct tells me that you are one of the seeds left behind by a real immortal."
"Strictly speaking, I am not. But in essence, there is no difference." Ling Xian said after a moment of silence.
He was the only descendant trained by the nine real immortals and shouldered the heavy responsibility of fighting against the foreign lands. He was a seed.
"My intuition was right again."
Hu Sheng smiled and the way he looked at Ling Xian became more friendly.
"You are also a seed?"
Ling Xian stared at Hu Sheng. Normal people wouldn't know the truth of what happened 30,000 years ago. To be able to ask if he was a seed meant he was a seed himself.
"That's right. Or rather, my ancestors were."
"Back then, my ancestor was taught by a real immortal and was considered an honorary disciple."
"Before that immortal died, he sent a message to my ancestor and asked him to protect this land."
Hu Sheng softly sighed, "Since then, this has become the first rule of the Hu Clan. Every generation has done this and never dared to forget it."
"I see." Ling Xian revealed a joyful smile and the way he looked at Hu Sheng softened.
It was all because they could be considered to be the same kind, all of them were the first to charge against the Heavenly Demons, to protect this world.
"I don't know how many seeds the real immortals left behind, but I am certain that very few."
Hu Sheng exhaled a long sigh, "I originally thought I would never meet someone like me in this life. I cannot believe I met you. What a fortunate event."
"Do you drink?" Ling Xian grinned.
"I don't."
Hu Sheng shook his head, "But right now, I want to drink."
"Okay."
Ling Xian smiled and took out two bottles of alcohol. He threw one to Hu Sheng.
Then, they drank to their heart's content.
"Haha, this feels good."
Hu Sheng laughed brightly and Ling Xian felt very satisfied as well.
He shifted his gaze towards Hu Sheng and his expression turned serious, "Do you know what the goal of the demons is?"
