Hearing what Yao Fan said, Ling Xian frowned, a little surprised.
He wasn't the number one enemy of the pro-war faction, but on their must-kill list, he was definitely top 10.
Under these circumstances, it was strange that the pro-war faction didn't send out any Undefeatable cultivators.
Ling Xian asked, "What's going on?"
"The leader of the Saint Sunset Mountain made an appearance. He made an agreement with the pro-war faction. Or rather, he made a bet."
"If the Undefeatable cultivators don't make a move and kill you, the pro-war faction wins. They will be able to get what they've been dreaming about. I don't know the specifics, but I do know that it's very important to the pro-war faction."
Yao Fan looked at Ling Xian, "On the other hand, if you escape the Holy Realm, then the leader of the Saint Sunset Mountain wins. There's no need for you to hand over the treasure."
"I see." Ling Xian's brows relaxed. He finally understood what the leader of the Saint Sunset Mountain and You Chen were talking about.
"I cannot believe you were able to make the leader of the Saint Sunset Mountain use the treasure as a wager to reduce the risk for you." Yao Fan sighed.
"I didn't expect that either." Ling Xian grinned. He was touched and somewhat happy.
Under the situation where the Undefeatable cultivators couldn't attack him, the pressure on him was greatly reduced. Why wouldn't he be happy?
"This is a good thing. But, you are still in danger."
Yao Fan sighed and said, "That's the entire pro-war faction. Who in the world can go against them by themselves?"
"It's okay. As long as the Undefeatable cultivators don't make a move, I am confident that I can escape." Ling Xian grinned and was at ease.
Naturally, he couldn't win against the entire pro-war faction. But he had the Cracked Sky Light and could leave at any time.
"I wonder where your confidence comes from."
Yao Fan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He admitted that Ling Xian was strong. Even the strongest descendant of the Holy Clan may not be his opponent. But no matter how strong he was, he couldn't stop the entire pro-war faction.
"You will know when I leave." Ling Xian grinned. His confidence wasn't just because of the Cracked Sky Light, it was also because of his capabilities.
He was an unparalleled Heaven's Favorite that had eight undefeatable realms and had broken through all five of them. Now that he had awakened Three Lives Burial, he was not afraid of even the strongest descendant of the Sacred Kind.
"For you, the leader of the Saint Sunset Mountain has bet his treasure. I hope you will not disappoint him." Yao Fan stared at Ling Xian.
"Don't worry, I won't let him lose." Ling Xian's gaze was dark. No matter what, he wasn't going to let the leader of the Saint Sunset Mountain lose.
"I'm leaving. If there's anything you need, just let me know," Yao Fan said, then turned around and left.
At this, Ling Xian calmed himself down and summoned his past self.
Although he had the Sky-Rending Light and could leave at any time, strength was also very important.
Therefore, Ling Xian decided to materialize his past self first and then travel around the Sen Luo continent.
Just like that, time passed bit by bit. The illusory figure kept appearing and being destroyed. It never completely condensed.
Ling Xian was not in a rush. His heart was as still as water. No matter how many times he failed, he never felt depressed.
Finally, on the one hundred and twenty-seventh time, the phantom image was completely condensed.
Then, a miraculous scene appeared.
A strange flower with three petals appeared above Ling Xian's head. On the leftmost petal, a silhouette was sitting in a lotus position. It was surrounded by murky air and heavenly light.
"I finally succeeded." Ling Xian softly grinned and merged with the silhouette.
Immediately, his Qi increased by 10 times, startling the heaven and earth.
"It really is 10 times stronger." Ling Xian's smile was bright and he was beyond ecstatic.
His past self could make him 10 times stronger, so could his future self. In other words, he could be 20 times stronger. Plus the battle immortal bone and the power of the Cloud Raising Technique, it wouldn't be hard for him to defeat everyone of the same level!
"Now, I can travel around the Sen Luo continent."
Ling Xian stood up and mumbled, "I sure want to see if the pro-war faction can bury me in a foreign land."
...
The most famous force in the Sen Luo continent was the Ming Clan. They were a force that had produced three undefeatable powerhouses.
The most famous place was the City of Strange Stones. This city was located in the center of the Sen Luo continent and was the most prosperous.
If there was a place in the Holy Realm with the most strange stones, then it was without a doubt, the City of Strange Stones.
Currently, Ling Xian had arrived at the City of Strange Stones.
The reason why he was here was because it's been a long time since he opened a strange stone and his hands were itching.
Therefore, the moment he entered the city, Ling Xian headed straight to the Strange Stones Workshop.
Sadly, after visiting 17 places, there wasn't a single stone that was worth his time.
It wasn't that he didn't find a stone that contained treasures, it was that his standards were far too high. Unless it was a heavenly treasure, he was too lazy to open it.
"It looks like I have to go to the big ones."
Ling Xian mumbled to himself. Then, he asked around and found out that there were five biggest Strange Stones Workshops in the city. One of them was owned by the Ming Clan and the other four were backed by royal families with Immortals.
"Let's go to the Ming Clan's Strange Stones Workshop. If I am not wrong, Ming Luo is the saint of the Ming Clan."
Ling Xian softly grinned and thought back to the Ming Luo saint he met many years ago in the Xuan Wu continent.
Back then, this person heavily injured him with one move. If it weren't for the arrival of reinforcements, he would've died a long time ago.
"I wonder if you can still beat me up like you did back then."
Ling Xian mumbled. Then, he marched forward in giant steps and headed towards the Ming Clan's Strange Stones Workshop.
A moment later, a magnificent seven-story pavilion appeared in front of him.
"The Ming Clan after all. They sure are rich and overbearing." Ling Xian smiled. The seven story building was made from precious heavenly wood. This building alone was worth billions of spiritual stones.
At once, he walked into the pavilion. Then, his eyes brightened.
This was because there were three strange stones in the lobby. Without an exception, all of them contained treasures that were worth cities.
"Not bad. They are worth it." Ling Xian grinned and planned on buying these three stones. However, when he walked closer, he realized that there were no prices on the stones.
"Your excellency, these three stones are the treasures of the shop. They are not for sale."
A tall and slender woman smiled, "If you want to buy these stones, please go to the second floor."
"Not for sale …" Ling Xian frowned, "Oh well, take me to the second floor."
"Please follow me." The tall woman extended her arm and walked towards the second floor.
Ling Xian followed closely behind.
There were hundreds of strange stones on the second floor that all contained treasures. However, they were all normal treasures and could not compare to the three stones in the lobby.
Even if he didn't lose money, Ling Xian wouldn't buy them.
He shifted his gaze towards the tall woman, "Are the stones on the third floor better than the ones on this floor?"
"Of course. However, the third floor does not allow people to enter as they please." The tall woman hesitated.
"What are your requirements?" Ling Xian's gaze was deep.
"You have to buy stones from the second floor. No less than 10 of them," the tall woman said.
"In other words, I have to pay some spiritual stones to get to the third floor?" Ling Xian shook his head and chuckled. Though all the stones here contained treasures, the majority of them were worth less than the selling price.
In other words, he would definitely lose money.
"Everyone knows that the Ming Clan's Strange Stones Workshop does not store useless stones. You won't lose money." The tall woman smiled gently.
Hearing this, Ling Xian shook his head with a smile. He was about to speak when he was interrupted by a sarcastic statement.
"If you can't afford it, then leave. Don't say the Ming Clan's stones are bad."
