At the foot of the Mountain of the Healing Soul, Liao Cang Qiong and the other immortals had strange expressions and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Offending a powerful force wasn't a big deal. After all, it was a force with many different factions. They couldn't go all out against Ling Xian.
Therefore, the immortals were calm and didn't think much of it.
But it was a different story. Even if they don't use all of their strength, they will continue to chase after Ling Xian until his soul is destroyed.
"What did you do to that force? Do you have to fight to the death? "Liao Cang Qiong shook his head and laughed.
"Do you have to …" Ling Xian smiled bitterly and explained what happened.
Liao Cang Qiong and the other immortals didn't know whether to laugh or cry. They didn't think Ling Xian would ruin the House's hundred years of hard work and kill three ninth leveled powerhouses.
It wasn't an exaggeration to say that this was a blood feud. No force would let Ling Xian go!
"If you want to find the inheritance, you must go to the City of Zhi Ge. But once you get there, your life will be in danger."
The Thief Immortal frowned, feeling troubled.
If he was at his prime, he could wipe out the House with a single thought. But right now, he was only a remnant of his soul and couldn't even leave the Painting of the Nine Immortals.
"I didn't think things would be so coincidental. After all, I still have to go to the City of Zhi Ge." Ling Xian shook his head helplessly.
The inheritance was related to the safety of the universe. No matter what, he had to find it.
"I know this is difficult and dangerous."
The Thief Immortal looked at Ling Xian, "But, I can only hand it over to you."
"Do not worry, I will do my best."
Ling Xian nodded. The moment he encountered the Painting of the Nine Immortals, he had an extra responsibility – to protect the universe.
This was what Liao Cang Qiong and the other immortals wanted and what he wanted.
"Brother Lian, you were right."
The Thief Immortal nodded and the way he looked at Ling Xian softened, "Let's go. Remember, no matter what happens, you must ensure your own safety."
"I understand." Ling Xian smiled and was about to leave the Painting of the Nine Immortals.
However, the Untainted stopped him.
"Are you on the path of the Unending Technique?" The Untainted's gaze was deep and cold like the moon.
"The Untainted has good eyesight." Ling Xian grinned. He knew he couldn't hide it from the Untainted and the other true immortals.
"I didn't expect you to have such good fortune."
The Untainted's expression was calm, but deep within her eyes, there was a hint of surprise.
It was the same for the other Perfected Immortals.
The Infinite Technique was a heaven-defying ability, similar to the Immortal Soul. It was a legendary path that even Celestial Kings might not be able to tread upon.
"Haha, no wonder you are my apprentice." Liao Cang Qiong couldn't stop laughing.
"What do you mean by your disciple? Ling Xian is also my successor! "Feng Qing Ming glared at Liao Cang Qiong.
"You're talking like he's not my disciple." Duan Shan He curled his lips.
"Alright, what's the point of fighting over this?"
The Ancestor of Technique shook his head and chuckled. He shifted his gaze towards Ling Xian, "You have such fortune. Train hard and strive to be the first."
"Without ending the Dao, nobody can reach the end?" Ling Xian frowned.
"Just like the Undying Soul, those who set foot on it are few in number, no one able to reach the end."
The Ancestor of Technique softly sighed, "I have also stepped onto the path of the Unending Technique. However, I am only a third of the way and have no more energy to continue."
"A third …" Ling Xian was a little startled and shook his head with a bitter smile.
The Ancestor of Technique's abilities were widely recognized. Even he could only walk a third of the way. It was not hard to imagine how difficult this path was.
"The Untainted is also on it. She is stronger than me and has walked half of the way. If it weren't for that catastrophe, she would've reached the end." The Ancestor of Technique exclaimed.
"You are flattering me. The Unending Technique is as hard as climbing up to the sky. Even if I break through to the Immortal Realm, I cannot reach the end."
The Untainted shook her head, "Ling Xian, the Undying Soul and the Unending Technique are both heaven-defying abilities. I look forward to the day you reach the end."
"I look forward to it too. It's just that …"
Ling Xian shook his head with a bitter smile. The Ancestor of Technique and the Untainted were both outstanding figures. Even they could not reach the end. How could he?
"Don't underestimate yourself. You are not weaker than any of us."
The Untainted's gaze was deep, "Do your best. If that day truly comes, you will truly be undefeatable."
"Undefeatable …" Ling Xian's eyes froze. The temptation of these words was far too great.
Remember that even the Undying Immortal King did not dare to call himself undefeatable!
"My biggest regret in this life is not being undefeatable. But today, I see hope in you."
"You and I are master and disciple. I hope that you can surpass your master."
"When that happens, I will die in peace."
The Untainted's lips parted and she turned to leave.
The other real immortals left as well. Before they left, they all glanced at Ling Xian with high hopes.
"I will. Even in this era where it is impossible to achieve Taoism, I will try my best."
Ling Xian's gaze was determined as he left the Painting of the Nine Immortals.
Then, he turned around and headed towards the City of Zhi Ge.
Even though this trip was extremely dangerous and one wrong move could result in his death, he had no other choice. The inheritance ground was too important and he had to find it no matter what!
"I hope this trip will be a smooth one."
Ling Xian mumbled to himself. Then, he calmed himself down and enlightened himself on the three techniques of the Immortal of Thieves. He focused on the Art of Changing Heaven and Earth.
Not only could this technique change one's appearance, but it could also change the appearance of other objects. It would be very helpful for this trip.
Therefore, Ling Xian concentrated and tried to learn this technique before he arrived at the City of Zhi Ge.
Time passed by little by little. After three months, a heavy and majestic ancient city appeared before his eyes.
However, he didn't learn the Art of Changing Heaven and Earth.
This technique was far too profound. Even with Ling Xian's shocking enlightenment abilities, he couldn't understand it.
Helplessly, he stopped the boat and didn't enter the city.
After three months, Ling Xian finally learned the Art of Changing Heaven and Earth. Though he was only at the beginner level, he could still use it.
"I finally learned it. Let's try it."
Ling Xian's eyes flashed with anticipation. He wanted to see just how miraculous the technique that Liao Cang Qiong and the other real immortals praised was.
Immediately, he formed a mysterious hand seal with one hand and his entire being changed.
If it was said that he was like an immortal that had descended to the mortal world before, elegant and unconcealable, then at this moment, he was simple, unadorned, and ordinary.
Not only did his face change, his temperament changed as well. He was no different than a peasant.
"What a miraculous technique …"
Ling Xian's eyes revealed his shock. Before, he knew how to disguise himself. But with techniques similar to the Inner Eyes, or with spiritual senses, they could easily see through his disguise.
But now, even if a ninth leveled cultivator used a technique similar to the Inner Eyes, they might not be able to see through his disguise.
"With this technique and the Hand of Stealing Heaven, I can steal anything I want …"
Ling Xian softly grinned. As much as he felt more confident, he also felt his hands itch.
In the Hidden Territory, he stole from the entire martial world. But in the real world, he has never stolen anything.
"If I find something I want, then I will try the Hand of Stealing Heaven."
Chuckling, Ling Xian put away the Boat of Stars and entered the City of Zhi Ge.
