Inside the palace, Ling Xian sat in a lotus position. Like an old monk, he was unmoving.
He was digesting the water of the underworld.
This was a treasure naturally formed by Heaven and Earth. Not only could it cleanse the soul, but it could also train the physique. The effects were extraordinary.
The former, in particular, could strengthen the soul. Out of all the treasures that could strengthen the soul, it could be ranked top 10.
This was why Ling Xian was willing to trade for it with 30,000 contribution points.
Right now, he was focused and focused on digesting the water.
However, he encountered quite a few obstacles.
The water of the underworld was very difficult to digest. Like a rock, no matter how much he used his Qi or his Qi, he could not break it.
This put Ling Xian in a difficult situation. However, he remained calm.
Being annoyed won't solve any problems. Only by calming down can he solve this problem.
Just like that, time passed by little by little.
Three days later, the stone-like water of the underworld finally cracked open.
"It finally cracked open."
Ling Xian softly grinned. The water of the underworld was famous for being difficult to digest. But after he cracked it open, it was much easier.
Therefore, after merely half a day, the water of the underworld completely cracked open. Half of it nourished the soul, the other half trained the physique.
Immediately, Ling Xian began to sweat and his entire body shook.
The reason why this water was named the underworld was because it brought hellish pain. Even if one's heart was as hard as steel, it would be hard to handle.
"There is no such thing as free food in this world. To get something, one has to pay."
Ling Xian gritted his teeth. After cultivating for so many years, he had learned two things. One was to remain calm under all circumstances. The other was to persist until the end.
Therefore, despite the pain that made his face twist, his belief did not waver.
One hour, two hours, three hours … Ling Xian persisted for half a day. Finally, the bitterness was over and the sweetness began.
The pain was gone. What replaced it was the sweetness of rain after a long drought.
It was an indescribable feeling that made Ling Xian's entire body feel comfortable.
"Finally, the bitterness is over and the sweetness is here."
Ling Xian revealed a smile. He felt extremely comfortable and extremely happy.
This was all because his soul had become more determined. Though he was still miles away from the undying soul realm, he had without a doubt, improved a step.
It should be known that the Immortal Soul was a supreme realm that no one had been able to reach throughout the ages. Not to mention advancing by a step, even advancing by a fraction was something worth celebrating.
On top of that, Ling Xian's physique strengthened as well. Though he didn't reach the intermediate stage of the eighth level, he wasn't far from it.
Therefore, how could he not be happy?
"The thirty thousand contribution points were not spent in vain. Just taking a step forward on the path of the Immortal Soul is worth it."
Ling Xian smiled in satisfaction. Other than anticipation in his eyes, there was determination.
In both Eternal Worlds, not many people could embark on the path of Immortal Soul. Since he had such an opportunity, he naturally would not miss it.
"Once I cultivate the Immortal Soul, even if the world is destroyed, I will not fall."
Ling Xian mumbled to himself, anticipating that day.
However, he also understood that this was something that was as difficult as ascending the heavens, and even an extremely shocking and invincible Immortal King might not be able to cultivate an Eternal Soul.
"The Inner World is also a path that no one has been able to walk since ancient times. According to legend, once you walk to the end, you will be able to transform into the Heaven and Earth, and you will never be destroyed."
"If I cultivate the Immortal Soul, I will be truly immortal."
Ling Xian softly grinned. Then, he let go of this and stood up.
Whether it was the Immortal Soul or the Inner World, they were not things that could be completed in a day. The most important thing now was to prepare for the test in half a year.
Therefore, Ling Xian left the palace and headed towards the Dao's Tombstone.
After some time, he landed before the Dao's Tombstone and saw many people sitting in a lotus position, quietly enlightening themselves.
From this, it was obvious that the Dao's Tombstone was extremely beneficial to cultivation. Or else it wouldn't be able to attract so many people with only 2,000 contribution points a day.
"You want to enlighten yourself?"
An elder suddenly appeared before Ling Xian. Like a ghost, he was silent and without a sound.
It was obvious that his cultivation level was very high. Even if he wasn't of the ninth level, he was at the peak of the eighth.
"That's right." Ling Xian nodded and handed over his token.
The elder took over the token and asked in shock, "You are the Ling Xian who passed the Gate of Heaven and won first place?"
At those words, everyone opened their eyes. Some were shocked, some were curious.
Ling Xian's name had spread throughout the entire School of Chaos. Other than those who were in isolation, everyone had heard of him.
What could they do? Whether it was passing the Gate of Heaven or winning first place, they were all shocking events. It was hard for him not to be famous.
Therefore, everyone's gaze was now on Ling Xian. They wanted to see if this unparalleled genius had three heads and six arms.
A man in green, in particular, was staring at Ling Xian. Coldness and killer's intent were surging.
"It's me."
Ling Xian smiled warmly, "The first place prize is 10 days of free time. Senior, please don't deduct my contribution points."
"I'm not that stupid."
The elder shook his head and returned the token to Ling Xian, "Go."
Hearing this, Ling Xian smiled. He then marched forward in giant steps towards the Dao's Tombstone.
However, just as he was about to enlighten himself, a cold voice suddenly arose.
"If you want to enlighten the Dao's Tombstone, you must defeat me."
As soon as he finished speaking, the green-robed man stood up. His imposing manner spread out, causing everyone to frown.
Ling Xian frowned as well, confused.
Looking at the man in green, he asked, "Do I have a grudge against you?"
"Rejecting the leader means you will not rest until one of us dies." The man in green glared at Ling Xian as if he was looking at a dead man.
"Leader?"
Ling Xian was startled but quickly reacted, "You work for the Young God King?"
"I am the third general under the leader's command."
The man in green spoke softly, "Remember this title. As for my name, a dead man does not deserve to know it."
"If the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam will be crooked. The ancients didn't lie."
Ling Xian shook his head and chuckled. The Young God King was famous for his arrogance. His subordinates were all crazier than the last.
"You dare to insult the leader?"
The man in green's eyes were full of ferocity. Like an ancient beast that just woke up, his Qi was able to swallow mountains and rivers.
Everyone's expression changed at this. Not only because of this person's Qi, but also because his conversation with Ling Xian revealed a piece of information.
Ling Xian rejected the Young God King.
Remember that the Young God King was one of the four saints. Whether it was his capabilities or his position, he was second to none in the School of Chaos.
Even the elders of the ninth level had to treat him with respect.
Yet, Ling Xian dared to reject the Young God King. Naturally, everyone was shocked.
"So what I insulted him?"
Ling Xian wiped off his smile. He dared to point at the foreign ancestors and insult them, what was the Young God King to him?
"You are seeking death!"
The man in green was enraged. He condensed his Qi into a spear and bloody light pierced through the sky.
At once, the wind blew and the clouds converged. The world changed color!
One has to admit that this person was extraordinary. Not only was he at the advanced stage of the eighth level, but he also had seven undefeatable realms. His foundation was outstanding.
"The one who is seeking death is you."
A cold voice suddenly arose. It wasn't from Ling Xian's mouth, but from a woman's voice. It was clear and melodious, like the sound of nature.
