"You came back at the right time. My father is looking for you."
Ji Huang's expression was serious. This made Ling Xian realize that the leader of the Ji Clan was looking for him for something important.
He frowned and asked, "What happened?"
Hearing this, Ji Huang glanced at Emperor Qin. What she meant was obvious.
"I will leave now. I won't disturb you two." Emperor Qin understood and left.
"You can speak now."
Ling Xian frowned. Whether it was Ji Huang's serious expression or her action of wanting Emperor Qin to leave, it all proved that something big had happened.
"The Ji Clan is a real immortal clan. Though we have been passed down for a long time, we have a lot of history. Many ancestors are still alive."
"However, they are all sealed inside the stones. Only when the Ji Clan is at the brink of death will they break the seal."
"But three months ago, all the stones began to crack. As time went on, the cracks got bigger and bigger."
"Once they completely break, the ancestors will have to come out. Their lifespan is running out, and if they come out, they will die."
Ji Huang's expression was serious, "So, my father wants to ask you to heal the stones."
"I remember that there are a few influential figures on the Planet of the Northern Stars. Did you find them?" Ling Xian frowned. It was easy to break the stones, but hard to heal them.
The stones used to seal powerhouses were even harder. Even though he had the Seeking Ghost Cultivator's inheritance, he wasn't confident.
"I have. They can't do anything about it." Ji Huang sighed.
"Can't do anything …" Ling Xian softly sighed, feeling more and more troubled.
He had competed with those influential figures and knew how skilled they were with the stones. If they couldn't do anything about it, then of course he was having a headache.
"They all recommended you to my father."
Ji Huang gave Ling Xian a long look, "Your knowledge of the mysterious stone does not pale next to any of them. If there is anyone who can restore the sealed stone to its original state, then it is without a doubt, you."
"You overestimate me." Ling Xian shook his head and smiled bitterly. The Stone Chapter of the Grave Robbing Guide recorded a technique called the Stone Repair Technique.
This technique was created by the Seeking Ghost Cultivator. It could repair all broken stones. Sealing stones were no exception.
But Ling Xian wouldn't.
This technique was complicated and profound. He had tried to comprehend it for a long time, but he had never been able to cross the threshold.
"You are the last hope of our Ji Clan. No matter what, please try your best," Ji Huang said in a low voice, her eyes filled with hope.
The Old Ancestor who was sealed in the wondrous rock was the most important person in the Ji Family. He was even more precious than the Celestial Artifact. If he was forced to come out, then the Ji Family would not be far from destruction.
"I'll try my best, but I can't guarantee anything."
Ling Xian sighed. The Ji Clan was a seed left behind by a real immortal. They were on the same side as him. No matter what, he would make a move.
However, the Stone-mending Art was too difficult to cultivate. He might not be able to cultivate it before the Sealing Stone completely shattered.
Fortunately, it wasn't completely hopeless.
Among the five great treasures of the Chaos College, there was a place called the Enlightenment Cliff. Studying spells and techniques there would be twice the result with half the effort.
Originally, Ling Xian didn't plan on wasting his time going to the Cliff of Enlightenment. Because he had already learned all his techniques and all he needed to do was train slowly.
But now, he had to go.
"Thank you." Ji Huang smiled and heaved a sigh of relief.
"Don't be in a rush to thank me and don't be too happy. I have no confidence."
Ling Xian bitterly smiled, "Did the Ji Clan Leader say how long the sealing stones can last?"
"At least three months, at most half a year." Ji Huang erased her smile, "So, we need to leave now."
"If we leave now, it'll be a waste of time."
Ling Xian sighed. Even though Ji Huang said the sealing stone could last for half a year, that was the best case scenario.
He had to prepare for the worst, which was three months.
If this was a normal technique, with Ling Xian's knowledge, three days would be enough. But the Stone-mending Art was far too difficult to cultivate. It was harder than changing the sky and the earth!
Even with the Art Comprehension Cliff, three months was still a little tight.
"Why is that?" Ji Huang frowned, "What do you need? Tell me. The Ji Clan will prepare it for you."
"What I need, the Ji Clan can't give. Nobody can."
Ling Xian softly sighed. He felt a headache but he also felt lucky.
Lucky that he had three months. If he only had a few days, then there really would be no hope.
"Okay, then when do we leave?" Ji Huang sighed helplessly.
"I can't be sure. Go back to your palace and wait for me. After I come out of isolation, I will find you."
Ling Xian exhaled a long sigh and prayed that the Cliff of Enlightenment was as mysterious as the legends say.
"Okay, the Ji Clan's safety is in your hands. Whether you succeed or fail, I will remember your kindness." Ji Huang stared at Ling Xian. She wasn't exaggerating at all.
"You are exaggerating. The Ji Clan and I are allies. We should help each other." Ling Xian grinned, "Go. I will try my best."
Hearing this, Ji Huang didn't say anything else and left.
Ling Xian also left the Valley of the Thousand Souls and headed straight to the Cliff of Enlightenment.
Moments later, a towering mountain appeared in his line of sight.
White fog swirled and the rhythm of Taoism swirled. The mountain peak pierced through the clouds, mysterious and extraordinary.
It was one of the five treasures, the Cliff of Enlightenment.
"I hope this place can help me learn the Stone Replenishing Technique."
Staring at the tall mountain peak, Ling Xian mumbled to himself. He didn't expect to master the Stone Replenishing Technique. All he wanted was for him to be able to solve the Ji Clan's crisis.
Then, he took out his token and threw it at the peak.
Immediately, the fog solidified into a bridge that connected Ling Xian to the peak of the mountain.
Ling Xian stepped onto the bridge and quickly approached the Cliff of Enlightenment.
Very quickly, he arrived at the peak of the mountain. Then, he squinted his eyes.
Because a familiar person was sitting on top of the mountain.
He was as heavy as a mountain and as handsome as an emperor. He was the first general under the Immortal King.
"It's you …" The first general's eyes were cold and he didn't hide his killer's intent at all.
He once lost to Ling Xian in front of everyone and lost all face. Naturally, he hated Ling Xian to the bone.
"I cannot believe you are enlightening yourself here." Ling Xian frowned slightly. Seeing the first general's killer's intent, he asked, "What is it, you want to kill me?"
"What do you think?"
The first general smiled, "I am glad I had the sudden impulse to enlighten myself here. Or else I wouldn't have the chance to kill you."
Then, he straightened his body and his Qi rolled out in all directions.
"The School of Chaos forbids killing each other. You want to test the law?" Ling Xian said softly.
"Haha, there are only the two of us here. Even if I kill you, who would know?" The first general laughed out loud. His killer's intent shot through the cloud.
"The question is, can you kill me?"
Ling Xian smiled. Though it's been a few years since they last fought, the first general remained at the peak of the extraordinary realm and didn't improve at all.
"I admit, if we fight at the same level, I am no opponent of yours."
"But in a battle of life and death, killing you is as easy as flipping my palm!"
The first general snickered, "Ling Xian, the humiliation I suffered back then, today, I will return it to you 10 fold, 100 fold!"
"Back then, you lost to me. Today, you will still lose."
Ling Xian's expression turned cold. Killer's intent and Qi poured out of him. Like an awakened emperor, he shocked everyone.
