Inside the Painting of the Nine Immortals, the immortals erased their smiles and turned serious.
"Didn't I tell you to stop going to the foreign lands?" Liao Cang Qiong was not happy, "You know how dangerous the foreign lands are. Why do you want to risk your life again?"
"Master, it's not that I want to go. You Chen dragged me into the foreign lands." Ling Xian smiled bitterly, knowing that Liao Cang Qiong was afraid something would happen to him.
The deeper the love, the deeper the responsibility. The immortals saw him as their child, so of course they were worried.
"Dragged you into the foreign lands?"
Liao Cang Qiong frowned and said in a low voice, "Leave the foreign lands immediately. It's far too dangerous there, especially since you offended the warmongers."
"Master, don't worry. I am confident that I can escape unscathed." Ling Xian smiled and simply explained his plan.
Before, his biggest plan was the Sky Cracking Light. Now, he had another one, and that was the bet.
With the bet, he didn't have to worry about powerhouses above the Supreme-Being level attacking him.
"If that's the case, then there's no need to worry too much." Liao Cang Qiong's expression softened.
The immortals smiled as well.
"Master, don't worry. Even if I don't think for myself, I will think for you. I will not put myself in danger." Ling Xian smiled.
"Not for us, but for the universe." Liao Cang Qiong looked at Ling Xian in a serious manner, "If you die, what will happen to the universe?"
"Master, I am not that important." Ling Xian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Even though he was a powerhouse of the holy realm, he wasn't at the point where the universe couldn't live without him.
"Right now, you really aren't. But what about in the future?" Liao Cang Qiong said in a low voice, "Your future is immeasurable. Without you, the universe loses a sliver of hope."
"He is right. Remember, no matter what, you have to live." Feng Qing Ming's expression was serious.
"Immortal, do not worry. I will not put myself in danger." Ling Xian nodded.
"Since you are in the foreign lands, do me a favor." Liao Cang Qiong reminisced.
"You're not looking for a child again, are you?" Ling Xian's expression was strange. He remembered that the first thing Liao Cang Qiong wanted him to do was to find a child.
"What are you thinking about?" Liao Cang Qiong glared at Ling Xian.
"Ehem, ehem, that was a slip of the tongue." Ling Xian coughed.
"I want you to bring a message to an old friend." Liao Cang Qiong softly sighed, "Tell her that I have never forgotten her."
At this, Ling Xian was speechless.
It was true that Liao Cang Qiong did not want him to find a child. But what was the difference between this and finding a child?
"Haha, Elder Lian is a romantic. He has a lot of romantic debts." Feng Qing Ming laughed.
The other immortals also smiled.
"You're everywhere. Go away."
Liao Cang Qiong glared at Feng Qing Ming, then turned to Ling Xian and said awkwardly, "Ling Xian, no matter what, you have to deliver the message."
"Master has ordered me to do my best."
Ling Xian softly grinned, "I wonder who you want me to bring this message to?"
"Leader of the Underworld Valley." Liao Cang Qiong softly sighed, unable to hide his guilt.
"Lord of the restricted area?"
Ling Xian was a little startled. He didn't think Liao Cang Qiong's old lover would be the leader of the Underworld Valley. But after thinking about it, he understood.
Liao Cang Qiong was a real immortal and the number two alchemist. He was not any weaker than the Alchemist. How could his lover be an ordinary person?
"I have lived my life without betraying Heaven. I have lived up to my Master's name. I have only let down two women."
"One is Meng Yue, the other is her."
Liao Cang Qiong sighed deeply, "I owe her far too much. I will never be able to pay her back in this lifetime."
Hearing this, Ling Xian was silent. He didn't know how to comfort Liao Cang Qiong.
Love is the hardest word to understand. He couldn't even understand it himself, how could he comfort Liao Cang Qiong?
"Let's not talk about it. It's all in the past."
Liao Cang Qiong calmed himself down, "She has waited far too long to say this. You have to deliver this message."
"Master, do not worry. I will deliver this message." Ling Xian nodded. The Underworld Valley was located in the Sen Luo continent. To him, it was a piece of cake.
"You have to be careful. I know that crazy woman. She might vent her hatred towards Liao Cang Qiong on you." Feng Qing Ming snickered.
"Didn't I tell you to go away?"
Liao Cang Qiong glared at Feng Qing Ming and shifted his gaze towards Ling Xian. "Don't be afraid. She won't hurt you."
"Master, your guarantee makes me even more worried." Ling Xian bitterly smiled. Since Liao Cang Qiong felt guilty, then it meant he had betrayed the leader of the Underworld Valley. He was naturally worried that the undefeatable ancestor would vent her anger on him.
"Don't worry. She can hurt anyone but my apprentice." Liao Cang Qiong slapped his chest and promised. But no matter how you look at it, he sounded a little guilty.
"If that's the case, then you should talk to her yourself." Ling Xian softly grinned, "I will go to the Underworld Valley. When that time comes, please show yourself."
"No, I won't see her."
Liao Cang Qiong shook his head like a rattle drum, "If she asks, tell her that this is my last wish. As my apprentice, you have the responsibility to fulfill my last wish."
"Okay." Ling Xian bitterly smiled. Though he was worried that the undefeatable ancestor would vent her anger on him, he had to fulfill Liao Cang Qiong's request.
"Don't worry. She might beat you up, but it won't endanger your life." Liao Cang Qiong smiled awkwardly.
"Master, you are pushing me into a pit of fire." Ling Xian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He changed the topic, "I wonder when the Ninth Immortal will wake up?"
"Don't think about it in the short term. Unless you can find the Flame of the Calming Soul and the Steel of Steadying, the Ninth Immortal will not wake up." Liao Cang Qiong sighed.
"I understand. I will try my best to find the Flame of the Calming Soul and the Steel of Steadying." Ling Xian softly grinned. The things he had to find in this lifetime were the Flame of the Calming Soul and the Steel of Steadying.
Only by finding these two treasures could he create an endless magnetic field that would protect the souls of real immortals like Liao Cang Qiong.
"Where's the Undead Cat?" Ling Xian asked. He wanted to absorb the Undead Cat's blood.
"She's sleeping in the arms of the Undefeatable. If I didn't know she was a female, I would've suspected she had ulterior motives." Liao Cang Qiong teased.
"I will go find the Undefeatable." Ling Xian softly grinned and flew towards the Mount of the Healing Soul.
After a while, he landed on top of the Mount of the Healing Soul. He saw the Untainted standing with her hands behind her back.
The Undead Cat was hovering on her shoulder, snoring. It was obvious that it was sound asleep.
However, the moment Ling Xian landed, it opened its gem-like eyes and jumped into his arms. It began to lick his face.
"Long time no see. Did you miss me?" Ling Xian's eyes flashed with affection.
"Meow." The Undead Cat giggled and rubbed against Ling Xian's cheeks. It was obvious that it missed him.
"You are already at the seventh level. Why can't you talk?" Ling Xian shook his head.
"You are its owner after all. I've taken care of it for years, but I can't compare to you." The Keeper of Land and Sea opened her eyes. Her beauty was out of this world.
"Are you jealous?" Ling Xian grinned.
"Maybe." The Keeper of Land and Sea said softly, "Why are you here?"
"To help it transform into a Sky Beast." Ling Xian grinned and took out the strange stone that contained the Undead Cat's blood.
