The Sun rose and bathed the earth.
In midair, Ling Xian's brows were glowing as he carefully inspected the array.
The power of the Qi of the Qi of the Soul rolled out in all directions. The Taoist's pupils constricted and his heart shook.
He was far too powerful. He was certain that no one in the same realm could compare to Ling Xian!
"He really is on the path of the immortal soul." The Taoist exclaimed. The way he looked at Ling Xian was both shocked and envious.
The immortal soul was one of the most heaven-defying abilities in the world. Who wouldn't be envious?
If he knew that Ling Xian was not only on the path of the immortal soul, but also on the path of the Art of Infinity and the Indestructible Physique, he would probably go crazy from jealousy.
"If I'm not mistaken, all of this is the doing of that Great Grandmaster."
Ling Xian's gaze was deep. He didn't find the reason, but he was certain that there was only one person who had the ability to do this. It was the person who set up this array.
"You mean the person who set up this array?"
The Taoist was a little startled, "Impossible. That's an ancient person from 20,000 years ago. Even those who are close to the Taoist path cannot live that long."
"Not necessarily. There is only one true immortality, and that is to become an immortal. But there are many ways to achieve immortality."
"Did you forget about the Tomb of the Undying and Undying?"
Ling Xian squinted his eyes. There was one similarity between all ways to achieve immortality, and that was that they had no freedom. They were no different from the living dead.
But it was undeniable that they could achieve immortality.
"If your guess is correct, then as long as we find him, we can solve our crisis." The Taoist's eyes brightened.
"Theoretically speaking, that is true. But it will be very difficult to find that person."
Ling Xian frowned. He was certain that that person was in the City of Ambition. Or else he wouldn't be able to control the array.
But the City of Ambition was far too vast. Finding one person was like finding a needle in a haystack.
"I …" The Taoist's eyes dimmed. Though the array drains away one's lifespan every few years and is useless against powerful cultivators, the Taoist Sect had tens of thousands of low leveled disciples.
If they don't solve this problem, the Taoist Sect will have to either disband or leave.
"I have an idea. I just don't know if the Taoist Sect will agree to it." Ling Xian thought about it.
"What idea?" The Taoist's Taoist was excited.
"Shatter the formation!"
"The reason why this formation is absorbing lifespan is definitely because that person needs it. If we break this formation, that person will definitely appear."
Ling Xian's eyes deepened, "Even if I don't show up, breaking this array will solve the problem for the Taichu Sect."
"You're right, but it won't work."
"The formation is connected to the Taichu Sect's earth veins. It's one of the most important trump cards of the Taichu Sect."
The Taichu Sovereign sighed and said, "Let's not talk about whether or not we can break it. Even if we can, the Taichu Sect will not agree to it."
"If you don't want to part with the array, then you'll have to move," Ling Xian said softly. The array was extremely powerful, no force would want to part with it.
However, when the sharp weapon used to deal with the enemy became a sharp sword hanging over one's head, if one was unwilling to part with it, it would be equivalent to seeking one's own death.
"This …" The supremacy of the Taichu Sect was put in a difficult position.
"I've already said everything that needs to be said. If the Taichu Sect is unwilling, then find someone else."
Ling Xian faintly smiled and paid his respect to the leader of the Taichu Sect, "Farewell."
Then, he marched forward in giant steps and prepared to leave.
"My friend, please wait." The leader of the Taichu Sect stopped Ling Xian and said, "Give me some time. I will go find the Supreme Headmaster."
Saying that, his figure flashed and disappeared.
After some time, the leader of the Taichu Sect walked out of the void. Behind him followed a man in gold and an elder in white.
"My friend, this is the Supreme Headmaster of the Taichu Sect."
The leader of the Taichu Sect pointed at the man in gold and then shifted his gaze to the elder in white, "This is the Supreme Elder of the Taichu Sect."
Then, he began to introduce Ling Xian to the two of them. However, after one sentence, he was interrupted by the man in gold.
"There's no need for introductions. My friend, your name is well-known." The man in gold smiled warmly and was very polite.
It wasn't just because he needed Ling Xian's help, but also because of Ling Xian's identity.
He was an array grandmaster. Even though the man in gold was a Sovereign and the leader of a powerful force, he had to be polite.
"Headmaster, you are exaggerating."
Ling Xian grinned, "Let's get straight to the point. Only by breaking this array can the crisis of the Taichu Sect be resolved. If you are unwilling, then there is no need to continue this conversation."
"Now that things have gotten to this point, no matter how unwilling I am, I have to."
"But, how confident are you?"
The man in gold wiped off his smile, "This array is connected to the Taichu Sect's land. Even array grandmasters may not be able to break it."
"That's right. Those two array grandmasters also wanted to break this array, but they both failed." The elder in white softly sighed.
"It truly is difficult. However, I am confident." Ling Xian softly grinned. He was no ordinary array grandmaster. He only needed three days to break this array.
By then, whether that person showed up or not, he would be able to solve the crisis of the Taichu Sect.
"Since you are confident, then go ahead and try. Whether or not you succeed, the Taichu Sect will reward you generously." The man in gold gave Ling Xian a meaningful look.
"I will try my best." Ling Xian softly grinned. His hands moved, and an infinite amount of array patterns appeared and flew in all directions.
Instantly, the array was revealed. An infinite amount of heavenly light filled the sky and blocked the array patterns.
However, it could not be stopped.
Ling Xian wasn't using brute force. He was using the array patterns. No matter how strong the array was, it had to be stopped.
"No wonder you are an array grandmaster. Impressive."
The man in gold complimented. Though he was not an array grandmaster, at his level, he at least had some knowledge.
Therefore, as soon as Ling Xian made his move, he realized how extraordinary this young man who was not even 200 years old was.
"Headmaster, you are flattering me." Ling Xian grinned. Then, he focused on breaking the array.
This formation was extremely powerful and could be said to be flawless. Even a great grandmaster would not be able to break it.
Luckily, Ling Xian was no ordinary grandmaster.
He had the inheritance of Feng Qing Ming, the Pioneer of Ancient Arrays. He was also one of the best among the grandmasters. He had the ability to break this array.
On the first day, Ling Xian did not even move the array. He didn't even damage it.
This made the man in gold disappointed. He sighed, "It looks like the Taichu House will have to move."
"It's normal that we can't break it. Though this array is not the best in the city, it's among the top three."
"Though Ling Xian is an array grandmaster, he is still young."
The elder in white sighed. He didn't think highly of Ling Xian.
For one, he was too young. For two, the Taichu House invited two array grandmasters and yet they could not even move this array.
Just as the elder in white sighed, he saw the shock on the man in gold's face.
This confused him. He followed the man in gold's gaze and looked at Ling Xian. He couldn't help but be startled.
All because Ling Xian had broken a hole.
One should know that in the entire Ascending City, this array could be ranked in the top three. The two array grandmasters spent a great deal of effort to break it, yet they couldn't move it at all.
Yet Ling Xian had broken a hole. How could they not be shocked?
What happened next shocked them even more.
