Purple Qi rose and enshrouded the area.
Ling Xian's physical body cracked open. His face was pale white and his entire body was shaking.
However, he felt no pain. All he felt was the wonderful feeling of ascension.
Therefore, Ling Xian was unmoved and could not pull himself out.
As time went on, his injuries worsened. Both of his arms had no flesh and only white bones remained.
Normally speaking, with such heavy injuries, even if he was in a deep coma, he would be awakened by the pain.
But Ling Xian was completely oblivious. He didn't even show signs of waking up.
Two hours later, his entire body had no flesh and only his bones and soul remained.
What was even more terrifying was that his bones were cracking and disappearing. Before long, they will completely disappear.
When that happens, even if his soul remains, Ling Xian will be no different from a dead person.
It wasn't an exaggeration to say that he had encountered the biggest crisis he has ever faced. Whether it was forbidden techniques or real immortal inheritances, nothing could help him.
If he wants to get out of this predicament, he can only rely on himself.
One day, two days, three days … after a whole seven days, Ling Xian still showed no signs of waking up. It was as if he had fallen into an eternal sleep and could never open his eyes again.
By now, all of his bones had disappeared. Only his soul remained and was emitting light.
However, as time went on, the light from his soul dimmed and dimmed. In the end, it was as weak as a firefly.
What could he do? The purple air was far too terrifying. Even if Ling Xian's soul was immortal, it could not last forever.
Luckily, just as his soul was about to disappear, Ling Xian finally woke up.
Immediately, the enlivener opened its eyes and created a storm that chased away the purple air.
"I barely escaped death …"
Looking at his soul, Ling Xian softly sighed. He was still fearful.
It was far too dangerous. In other words, he had one foot in the door of hell. If he didn't wake up at the last moment, he would've died for sure.
"What a terrifying purple air. It looks holy and peaceful, but it is actually cruel and evil."
Ling Xian sighed. This purple air could confuse one's mind. It was like an illusion, but it was more realistic than all the illusions he's experienced.
This was why he was immersed in it and couldn't pull himself out.
"What should I do now? Should I try to possess someone else's body?"
Ling Xian shook his head with a bitter smile. Looking at the storage pouch and the Painting of the Nine Immortals, he felt extremely fortunate.
The storage pouch was not a big deal, but Liao Cang Qiong and the other real immortals could not afford to lose it. Luckily, the Painting of the Nine Immortals did not dissipate.
Just as he was smiling bitterly, the purple aura that filled the sky suddenly surged like a huge wave and swept towards him.
This surprised Ling Xian. The original enlivener formed a hand seal and attempted to disperse it with his Qi.
However, he stopped.
It was all because right now, the purple energy was full of vitality. It was like the legendary immortal medicine that could revive the dead and regrow flesh and bones.
Therefore, Ling Xian did not resist and allowed the purple energy to engulf him.
Suddenly, an unbelievable scene happened.
His flesh and blood regenerated, his bones and tendons reconstructed. Within a few short breaths, Ling Xian's physical body took shape.
Cultivation foundation, bloodline, immortal bone, everything was the same as before.
This made Ling Xian smile and he no longer worried.
Then, he summoned the Painting of the Nine Immortals into his body and hung the storage pouch around his waist.
"Although the process was extremely dangerous, the outcome was ultimately good."
Ling Xian softly grinned, very happy.
It wasn't just because he survived a disaster, it was also because he was certain that he passed the test.
Perhaps there will be more tests, but at the very least, he passed one and now had the right to walk on the Path of the Endless Technique!
"I wonder if others are the same as me."
"If they are, then not only do I have to deal with the test, I also have to be careful of my competitors."
Ling Xian squinted his eyes. What he was certain of was that every single ocean had a palace and three bridges of light.
In other words, including him, at least seven people will pass through the narrow bridge and fight for the Path of the Endless Technique.
"I have to hurry. If only one person can walk on the Path of the Endless Technique, then I have to use every second I have."
Ling Xian's gaze turned determined. He marched forward in giant steps with his head held high.
After some time, he encountered the second obstacle, or rather, the second test.
It was two majestic looking Bi 'an that were transformed from statues. They bared their fangs and brandished their claws in a menacing manner.
They were of the same cultivation level as Ling Xian. Therefore, the demeanor they exuded was extremely terrifying. If this was anyone else, their legs would have turned into jelly.
However, Ling Xian smiled.
The Bi 'an was a mutant that did not pale next to the royal kind. If they were of the same cultivation level, they would without a doubt, be a strong opponent.
However, their cultivation level was the same as Ling Xian's. Their physique was not at the advanced stage of the eighth level.
This meant, even if they joined forces, they posed no threat.
ROAR!
The two Bi 'an howled in unison. Heavenly energy howled and materialized into a pair of spears with enough power to split open the sky.
"This test is probably the easiest."
Ling Xian had a smile on his lips. His slender palm slammed forward, pushing through three thousand miles and destroying all nine levels of heaven.
Immediately, the spears shattered and the two Bi 'an began to puke out blood.
"Turn into a statue."
Ling Xian's physique was emitting light like the undying Sun. Terrifying like an undefeatable immortal, he made the two Bi 'an puke out blood without being able to fight back.
If his physique wasn't at the advanced stage of the extraordinary realm, this would've been a tough battle and he might've even died. But there were no ifs.
Since Ling Xian's physique was at the advanced stage of the eighth level, suppressing the two Bi 'an was a piece of cake.
HOMMM!
One of the Bi 'an disappeared and its energy turned back into a statue. Everything returned to normal.
The other Bi 'an quickly disappeared as well. It couldn't stop Ling Xian's sharpness.
"If all the tests were battles, then this would be much easier."
Ling Xian exclaimed. He wasn't afraid of battles, he was afraid of tests like the bridge of light or the purple air. To him, those were the real dangers.
HOMMM!
The mysterious power suddenly descended, and then, the space behind the stone statue twisted, gradually forming a door.
At once, heavenly light howled and the door split into two, releasing a powerful force of attraction.
This force of attraction was like the awakening of the Tao Lie. One gulp could swallow all nine levels of heaven and all 10 levels of hell.
Therefore, Ling Xian was sucked in. Then, a cold voice arose beside his ear.
"Congratulations, you are the first to pass the test."
Hearing this, Ling Xian frowned and glanced around.
The grand hall was dark and empty. There wasn't even a single piece of furniture, let alone a person.
"I am the spirit of the palace. You can't see me and you don't need to see me."
The cold voice arose. Then, a stone staircase appeared before Ling Xian.
It wasn't long, only nine steps. At the end of the staircase, a grey ball of light floated. It was swirling with energy and was mysterious.
"Spirit …"
Ling Xian was a little startled. Remembering the first sentence the spirit said, he realized something.
"Do you see that staircase?"
The spirit spoke softly, "As long as you reach the end and absorb the ball of light, you will be able to step onto the path of the unending technique."
"I knew it."
Ling Xian revealed a smile. Staring at the ball of light at the end of the staircase, his eyes flashed with heat.
"Don't be too happy yet. Though you are the first to pass the test, you don't have the right to step on the staircase."
The spirit spoke, erasing Ling Xian's smile and making him frown.
