"It is no wonder you are so close to becoming a God. You sure are powerful."
Feeling the strength of the mark on his chest, Ling Xian smiled and stopped worrying.
With this sword mark protecting him, his safety was guaranteed to the greatest extent. It was equivalent to having an extra life.
At once, Ling Xian called out and the purple token appeared in his hand.
Heavenly light shone and the rhythm of Dao circulated. The immortal palace reappeared, brightening Lin Canghai's eyes.
"It really is the House of Supremacy!"
Lin Canghai's eyes were shining. Ling Xian's eyes were full of anticipation.
The first time he found out about the five ancient cities, he wanted to know their history and connection. Now that he finally had the chance, why wouldn't he be excited?
At once, Ling Xian's expression turned serious, "Let's begin."
Hearing this, Lin Canghai's expression turned serious as well. Then, the space between his brows began to shine and a mysterious force descended. Immediately, an unbelievable scene happened.
Heavenly light pierced through the sky. The originally illusionary immortal palace suddenly solidified and released an irresistible force.
This force was extremely dominating and was only aimed at Ling Xian. It instantly sucked him in.
Then, the House of Supremacy disappeared. All that was left was the purple token floating in the air, proving that what just happened was real.
"I hope you can get your hands on the Qi of Absolute Beginning and help me transform into the Sword of Eternity."
Lin Canghai mumbled to himself. Four heavenly swords pierced through the air and protected the purple token.
...
The fog was hazy and the rhythm of Dao filled the sky.
The House of Supremacy floated in the sky like an immortal king. It suppressed all Dao and swallowed the universe.
"What a strange place. Could it really be the Palace of the Immortal King?"
Ling Xian frowned slightly. He then pushed open the door and marched in.
The fake mountains, the pavilions, the water pavilions, everything was surrounded by light and extraordinary.
This was especially true for the hundreds of flowers that competed with each other in beauty. They were like the legendary Immortal Medicine that would not wither even after ten thousand tribulations, and would never die.
Remember that the flowers here were the most common of plants and were not even of the ninth realm. Yet they never withered. How unbelievable was this?
Even Ling Xian, who has been through all kinds of storms, was shocked.
"This is not an illusion. This is true longevity. Only time can achieve this."
Ling Xian's eyes revealed his shock and curiosity.
Immediately, the space between his brows glowed as he tried to find the reason why ordinary flowers and plants could survive for so long.
Moments later, Ling Xian's heart skipped a beat. He found hundreds of Time Stones buried underground!
One had to know that the Time Stone was an incomparably precious item. Even a single piece was rarely seen in the world. Its value was immeasurable.
However, there were over a hundred of them buried here. Perhaps only the legendary Celestial Kings would be able to do something like this.
"Looks like even if this isn't the Immortal King's bedchamber, it is still the residence of a True Immortal."
Ling Xian softly sighed. His gaze was heated, but very quickly, the heat disappeared.
Although the Highest Residence looked weak and could split the earth with a casual strike, it was actually indestructible. Even those who achieved dao might not be able to obtain the Time Stone.
"Forget it, let's focus on exploring the secrets of the Four Great Ancient Cities."
Sighing, Ling Xian no longer paid attention to the hundred flowers and walked into the study room that was emitting murky air.
The furnishings here were extremely simple. Apart from two bookshelves and a praying mat, there was nothing else.
The bookshelf was ordinary, made of the most ordinary wood, and the praying mat was also ordinary.
However, the only scroll on the shelf was emitting a terrifying amount of energy that could suppress all the heavens.
It was an indescribable amount of energy. It was as if an immortal had truly descended and could suppress all nine levels of heaven and all 10 levels of hell.
Even for someone as powerful as Ling Xian, his face was white and blood was dripping from the corner of his lips.
It was far too powerful. He immediately determined that this was the handwriting of an enlightened being. Or else it wouldn't be this powerful.
"Ehem, ehem, it looks like this is what I have been looking for."
Ling Xian puked out blood. However, his eyes were as bright as the stars.
Thus, he forced himself to walk closer to the scroll.
Every step he took was extremely difficult. It was as if he was carrying hundreds of thousands of mountains on his back. He trembled and continued to puke out blood.
The energy emitted by the scroll was far too terrifying. Ling Xian was merely made of flesh and blood. Even if he was made of immortal gold, it would be difficult to defend against it.
Therefore, after merely three steps, Ling Xian's body cracked open. If he didn't have such a strong physique, he would've disintegrated into pieces.
"Handwriting alone is already this powerful. If the real person descends, just how powerful would he be?"
Ling Xian bitterly smiled. He deeply felt the powerfulness of an enlightened being. At the same time, his belief was firmer.
In this lifetime, he vowed to climb to the peak and be undefeatable!
Ling Xian marched forward with determination. Finally, after half an hour, he acquired the scroll.
It was only a dozen steps away, yet he walked for half an hour. It was not hard to imagine how difficult this was.
If this was anyone else, they would've disintegrated a long time ago.
"I finally got it."
Exhaling a mouthful of murky air, Ling Xian's face was pale white and he couldn't even stand straight.
What could he do? The power of an immortal was far too terrifying. Even though it was handwritten, it was extremely powerful!
"Luckily, this scroll does not contain killer's intent. Or else I would've died here."
Ling Xian felt lucky. Then, his body began to emit light. Manipulating his Qi, he flipped open the scroll.
At once, the power intensified. One could faintly see a proud silhouette that stood tall and proud.
It was obvious that this was the person who left behind the scroll. Or rather, the owner of this place.
"He really is an enlightened being. He might even be an immortal king."
Ling Xian puked out blood and found it hard to open his eyes. He could only use his Qi to read the words on the scroll.
After some time, he inhaled deeply and finally understood the history of the five ancient cities.
The person who left behind the scroll had a name that no one knew but was known to be shocking – Huang Huang Immortal Emperor.
Countless years ago, there were five immortal emperors. They were Huang Huang Immortal who ruled the East, Huang Huang Immortal who ruled the West, Daoless Daoless who ruled the South, Huang Huang Immortal who ruled the North, and Ao Tian Immortal who ruled the Central Region.
These five immortals were also known as the Five Sky Rulers. Out of them, Ao Tian Immortal was the strongest, followed by Huang Huang Huang.
The five immortals were best friends. They ruled the world together and controlled everyone.
The five ancient cities were built by these five emperors!
"There really is no smoke without fire. The five ancient cities were really built by immortal kings. They were the most ancient immortal kings!"
Ling Xian inhaled deeply. The City of Holiness was built by Huang Huang Huang. The Palace of Gods was his residence.
Thousands of Swords and Thousands of Swords were also his forbidden technique.
At this point, Ling Xian's confusion was finally solved. His entire being felt light and relaxed.
"Now that I think about it, I once impersonated Huang Huang Huang."
Ling Xian softly grinned and remembered the Valley of Worries.
That time, he impersonated Huang Huang Huang Huang and defeated the traitor Ao Tian Immortal Emperor.
"After the Path to Heaven ends, I will return and find the existence at the Valley of Worries."
Chuckling, Ling Xian placed the scroll back onto the shelf and left the study room.
It wasn't that he didn't want to take the scroll, it was that he couldn't.
The scroll was as heavy as a mountain. It was already heaven-defying for Ling Xian to be able to open it. There was no way he could take it away.
"I have found out where it came from. Next, it's time to find the Primordial Energy."
Ling Xian softly smiled, his eyes flickered with anticipation.
He wasn't anticipating the Primordial Energy, he was anticipating the Immortal Bone.
Thus, he left the study room to search for the Primordial Energy.
