The Sun had just risen, shedding down light.
Inside the small yard, Ling Xian stood with his hands behind his back. His robe was white like snow and his demeanor was dazzling.
"You look good. I wonder how capable you are."
Lin Yingmei glared at Ling Xian, not believing he could become a top leveled powerhouse within three days.
In the eyes of anyone, this was something impossible.
"Come and try."
Ling Xian's expression was calm. He was now a true top leveled powerhouse. Even if everyone from the Mount of Green Dragon attacked him, they wouldn't be able to harm a hair on his head.
"Think carefully. My sword is not easy to defend against." Lin Yingmei's expression was emotionless.
"My life is not easy to take either." Ling Xian grinned, "Make your move."
"Be careful." Lin Yingmei's eyes were dark. She stepped forward one step and her red robe danced in the wind.
In the next second, the sword flew out of her sleeve. It was cold and full of killer's intent.
However, it did not move Ling Xian.
Lin Yingmei was merely a second leveled powerhouse. Even if he didn't know martial arts, he could easily defeat her.
Ling Xian pointed out a finger. His Qi poured out and knocked away Lin Yingmei's sword.
At the same time, he summoned his Qi and slammed out a palm.
This made Lin Yingmei's pupils constrict. She was shocked to the extreme.
Whether it was Ling Xian knocking away her sword or his palm, they all proved an unbelievable fact – he was a true top leveled powerhouse!
"Being distracted during a battle is a taboo." Ling Xian grinned. His right hand stopped before Lin Yingmei but he didn't attack.
However, his terrifying Qi still made Lin Yingmei shiver and her back was soaked with sweat.
This was far too terrifying and far too unbelievable. Three days ago, Ling Xian was a normal person with no Qi. Yet now, he had become a top leveled powerhouse. This was heaven-defying!
"You really became a top leveled powerhouse …" Lin Yingmei stared at Ling Xian dumbfoundedly. Her shock had reached a point of no return.
She trained for 20 years and only became a second leveled powerhouse. Ling Xian, on the other hand, went from a normal person to a first leveled powerhouse in three days.
The difference between them was like the difference between heaven and earth.
"Without 100% confidence, why would I make a bet with you?" Ling Xian softly smiled and retracted his palm.
"If I didn't see it with my own eyes, I would never believe that you could become a first-rate expert in three days."
Lin Yingmei bitterly smiled. She was certain that three days ago, Ling Xian was just a normal person without any Qi. She was also certain that he was now a top-notch powerhouse.
"Now, can you tell me where the jade came from?" Ling Xian had a smile on his lips and his eyes flashed with anticipation.
He wanted to obtain the remaining five mysterious symbols to complete the Art of Creation.
"Do I have any room to resist?"
Lin Yingmei sighed. She was merely a second-rate powerhouse. If she couldn't even block one attack from Ling Xian, how could she resist?
"You are a smart person. You know what to choose." Ling Xian grinned.
"Forget it. Since I'm willing to bet, I'm willing to lose."
Lin Yingmei sighed softly. "Have you heard of the Great Yin Dynasty?"
"I've only heard of Liang."
Ling Xian frowned. The Liang Dynasty was the only dynasty in this world. Even if the Five Clans, Seven Houses, and Nine Hidden Sects combined, they would still be no match for the Liang Dynasty.
"More than a hundred years ago, there was no Great Liang in this world, only Great Yin."
Lin Yingmei's eyes were deep. "The Great Yin Royal Family's surname is Lin."
"So you are a descendant of the royal family." Ling Xian smiled. When they first met, he already knew this woman was extraordinary. He didn't think she would be a descendant of the royal family.
"You are merely a stray dog."
"Back to the topic. The Great Yin Dynasty has ruled the world for more than 700 years and has acquired countless treasures."
Lin Yingmei's eyes were deep. "Before the dynasty was destroyed, the last emperor hid the treasury in a secret place. He gave the map to his confidants and gave the key to his descendants."
"This jade is the key?" Ling Xian's eyes brightened, guessing that there were mysterious symbols inside the treasury.
"That's right."
Lin Yingmei gave Ling Xian a long look. "It seems like you are interested."
Hearing this, Ling Xian nodded. Originally, he only had one goal in mind, and that was to break through to the ninth level.
But after the mysterious symbols merged with the Art of Creation, he had one more goal. He had to find the remaining five symbols and completely master the Art of Creation!
"Let us work together."
"I want to overthrow the Liang Dynasty and rebuild the Great Yin. If you help me open the treasury, I can give you half of the treasures."
Lin Yingmei looked at Ling Xian in a serious manner. "If I can take over the country, I can give you half of it."
"I don't doubt your words. But, you are dreaming." Ling Xian shook his head and chuckled. "I am merely a top leveled powerhouse. How can I help you take over the Liang Dynasty?"
"The you right now is not strong enough. But your potential is far too terrifying."
"I am certain that before long, you will become a grandmaster."
"When that happens, I will use the treasures inside the treasury to recruit more soldiers. The destruction of the Liang Dynasty is just around the corner!" Lin Yingmei's eyes were heated. It was as if she could already see the destruction of the Liang Dynasty.
"Calm down. Even if I get the treasures and become a grandmaster, I cannot destroy the Liang Dynasty." Ling Xian frowned. The Liang Dynasty was the most powerful force in the world. Even if the entire martial arts community allied together, they cannot win against it.
"I believe in human effort."
Lin Yingmei looked at Ling Xian in a serious manner. "Are you willing to help me?"
"I won't participate in the destruction of the Liang Dynasty. But, I can help you get the treasury." Ling Xian paused. He wasn't interested in the treasures, but he wanted the mysterious symbols.
Though there may not be any, it was the only clue he had and he cannot miss it.
"That's a good idea. I already know where the map is. But with my abilities, I cannot get it."
Lin Yingmei softly grinned. She meant for Ling Xian to get it.
"Just say it. There's no need to beat around the bush." Ling Xian said softly.
"The Xiao Clan, one of the five controlling forces."
"Back then, the last emperor's confidant escaped the palace and was chased by the powerhouses of the Liang Dynasty. He had no choice but to join the Xiao Clan."
"The map fell into the hands of the Xiao Clan."
Lin Yingmei sighed and said, "However, without the key, even a Great Grandmaster cannot open the treasury."
"That's troublesome."
Ling Xian frowned. Though the Xiao Clan doesn't have a grandmaster, it was one of the five controlling forces. There were as many powerhouses as the clouds in the sky.
It would be very difficult for him to get the map by himself.
"I will have to rely on you for this. If you can get the map, we can open the treasury."
Lin Yingmei's lips parted, "When that happens, you can take any heavenly weapons, techniques, gold, or jewelry."
"I am not interested in heavenly weapons or techniques. I don't want gold, silver, or jewelry."
Ling Xian said softly, "I only want the mysterious symbols. If you agree, I will try my best."
"What abilities does this symbol have? Why do you value it so much?" Lin Yingmei stared at Ling Xian.
"You lost the bet. I have no obligation to tell you." Ling Xian grinned. Anything related to the Art of Creation was not something he would easily tell others.
"Oh well, I agree." Lin Yingmei softly sighed. Ling Xian was the only person she could rely on. Naturally, she couldn't say no.
"I will try my best to get the map."
Ling Xian squinted his eyes. To completely master the Art of Creation, even if the Xiao Clan was a dragon's pond or a tiger's cave, he had to go.
