The wind blew and the evil fire filled the sky.
Ling Xian's physical body was unharmed and full of life. However, his soul was on the verge of disappearing.
At this critical moment, the mysterious characters reappeared and stopped the evil fire with unbelievable power.
As much as Ling Xian sighed in relief, he was also confused.
When he was traveling between the two worlds, the mysterious characters showed up at the critical moment. Now, they have stopped the evil fire. This was very strange.
"If I am not wrong, the mysterious characters originated from some kind of technique. Or else they wouldn't be this powerful."
Ling Xian frowned. This wasn't the first time he wanted to solve the mystery of these characters. Sadly, he had no clue.
The mysterious characters were so hard to understand. Even he couldn't see the whole picture.
"It seems like I have to acquire the complete technique to solve the mystery of these characters."
Ling Xian softly sighed and let go of this.
Though the mysterious characters have unbelievable abilities, they are rootless and cannot defend against the evil fire for long.
If he wants to pass this stage, he will have to rely on his own strength.
Ling Xian took out the Mountain of the Healing Soul, Water of the Resting Soul, and other treasures to repair his soul that was about to disappear.
After half an hour, his soul returned to its original state. It was a little more resilient than before.
This startled Ling Xian. Other than being confused, he was also somewhat happy.
This was because this was an improvement in quality. It was like being in the undefeatable realm of cultivation and having the physique at its peak. While the realm remains the same, he will be stronger than others of the same level!
To any living being, this was a great thing!
"Fortune and misfortune come hand in hand. Though the evil fire is fatal, it is also good fortune. If I can hold on, I will benefit from it for the rest of my life."
Ling Xian softly smiled and no longer resisted the evil fire. Instead, he hoped that the two of them could help him improve his soul.
Sadly, the mysterious characters did not listen to his commands. He could only wait for them to disappear.
After some time, the mysterious characters used up all their energy and returned to Ling Xian's wrist.
In the next second, the evil fire and the evil wind attacked him. One was burning, the other was tearing. The pain made Ling Xian's face twist.
However, he was no longer afraid.
Though the evil fire and wind were terrifying, his soul was slowly getting used to it. In other words, it was only good for him.
"I wonder to what extent my soul will be trained. Could it be that I can really reach the undefeatable realm?"
Ling Xian shook his head and chuckled. There was no such thing as the undefeatable realm of the soul. However, it was foreseeable that his soul would experience a qualitative leap.
At that moment, he calmed his mind and focused on nurturing his damaged soul.
In the beginning, his recovery speed could not keep up with the speed of the Yin Wind and Demon Fire's destruction. Even with the Soul Warming Treasure, he could not keep up.
However, as time passed, his soul became more and more tenacious, gradually maintaining a balanced state.
Three days later, Ling Xian's recovery speed surpassed the destructive speed of the Wicked Fire. In other words, the Wicked Fire could no longer harm his soul.
It was no exaggeration to say that the toughness of his soul had already reached a shocking level. He could ignore most things that hurt his soul!
"His soul's offensive power hasn't increased, but his defensive power has reached a shocking level."
The corner of Ling Xian's lips curled up, revealing a satisfied smile.
But in the next moment, he frowned.
It was because a mysterious power had emerged from his soul. It was indescribable, and it gave off a hint of immortality.
"Undying …"
Ling Xian was startled by this feeling. He shook his head and denied this unbelievable feeling.
Even the undefeatable cultivators may not be immortal. How could he, a cultivator of the eighth level, be immortal?
"I must be imagining things."
Ling Xian smiled and no longer thought about his soul. Instead, he focused on the test.
The Wicked Fire could no longer harm his soul. In other words, he had passed.
"I wonder what kind of heavenly treasure will be the reward for this test?"
Ling Xian's eyes heated up as he waited patiently.
After some time, an item descended from the sky. It was filled with murky air and was spitting out strange markings. Based on its appearance alone, it was definitely an extraordinary treasure.
"It's here."
Ling Xian's eyes were full of anticipation. Waving his hand, the murky air around the item dissipated.
Then, he was a little startled and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
All because this was a black and swarthy piece of metal. There was nothing special about it.
"The reward for the test increases. With the Jade of the Broken Realm, how can it be broken? Even if it's not as valuable as the Jade of the Broken Realm, it is still worth a fortune. "
"But, no matter how I look at it, it doesn't look valuable."
Ling Xian bitterly smiled. He has been cultivating for many years and has seen many things. Yet, he couldn't tell what was so special about this piece of metal.
"Oh well, I will put it away for now."
Ling Xian sighed helplessly and put the piece of metal into his sleeve. Then, he frowned and fell into deep thought.
He was thinking about whether or not he should go check out the fifth test.
Shui Xiu had said that from the fourth test onwards, the difficulty of the next test would be 10 times that of the previous one. He had experienced how difficult this test was. If it weren't for the mysterious text, he would've died for sure.
Therefore, he was hesitant.
"With the Jade of the Broken Realm, my life is not in danger. Let me try."
Ling Xian's gaze turned determined. He stepped out one step and the scenery changed.
His expression changed as well.
Whooosh, whooosh, whooosh!
Rays of heavenly light attacked him. Like the legendary Sword of Death, they tore apart the sky and split open the earth, killing all gods in their way!
Even Ling Xian was a little shaken by the power of the attack.
At this moment, he used the three flowers of the Dao to protect himself and used the Disorder Conquering Fists to try and stop the heavenly light.
The result was that he ended up puking blood and being flung out.
The heavenly light was far too powerful. Even though it was only one ray, it was equivalent to the advanced stage of the eighth level. It was not something he could defend against right now.
"I will have to use the Jade of the Broken Realm."
Ling Xian bitterly smiled. If he hadn't passed the fourth test, he could've gone back the way he came. But since he had entered the fifth test, other than passing, he would have to use the Jade of the Broken Realm.
"If I knew this would happen, I wouldn't have come in."
Ling Xian's eyes were full of unwillingness but there was nothing he could do.
The heavenly light was far too dominating. It was not something he could defend against right now. If he stays, only death awaits him.
At this moment, Ling Xian called out to the Jade of the Broken Realm. Within seconds, he arrived at the first test.
Originally, he wanted to leave the Paradise right away. But after seeing that Shui Wusheng was still at the first test, he stopped.
"Finally, you are here."
Seeing that Ling Xian had landed, Shui Wusheng revealed a smile, "Thank you for pointing Xiu Er in the right direction and helping her get the Jade of the Broken Realm."
"You are being too polite."
Ling Xian softly smiled, "Such a small matter is not worth you waiting for me."
"I didn't just want to thank you. I also wanted to see if you passed the fourth test."
Shui Wusheng stared at Ling Xian and appeared a little shaken.
"Hmm?"
Ling Xian frowned, "Based on your tone, it seems like the fourth test is no small matter."
"It's not just no small matter."
Shui Wusheng sighed deeply. Then, he flapped around his sleeve and used his shocking cultivation to block everyone's hearing and souls.
Even Shui Xiu was isolated from the outside.
This made Ling Xian's gaze freeze. He realized that what Shui Wusheng was about to say next must be of great importance and cannot be known by others.
"The fourth stage contains a fortune that can shake the heavens and the earth."
