Immortal King Aotian stared at Xue Wuya's body and nodded his head in satisfaction.
The physical body of the Blood Tribe's Holy King could be said to be perfect, not inferior to his in the slightest. In a situation where it was difficult to form an Immortal King's body, how could he not be satisfied?
"Not a bad physique."
Ao Tian Immortal King laughed, "He originally wanted to seize your body, but in the end, he paid for it with his own body."
"Thank you for your help. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be alive." Ling Xian smiled. Returning to his original state, he was unpredictable.
After becoming an Immortal King, he looked no different than an ordinary mortal. If he was in a crowd, he wouldn't attract any attention.
However, he was the brightest star in the world, even if he was in the Holy Realm.
Ling Xian's capabilities were unparalleled in the world. His achievements were also unparalleled.
"I should be the one thanking you. Without the five soul healing treasures and without Xue Wu Ya's physique, I would've never been able to return to my peak."
Ao Tian Immortal had a smile on his lips as he stared at Ling Xian, "You, right now, can be called the third Grand Lord."
"You are flattering me. How can I compare to the two Grand Lords?" Ling Xian smiled. Pan Gu separated heaven and earth and Hong Jun became the Heaven's Path. Without the two of them, there wouldn't be a Holy Realm.
Their achievements were unparalleled. Even the Heaven's Path that ruled over all life couldn't compare.
"It is not an exaggeration at all. You still don't have a clear understanding of your own capabilities."
Ao Tian exclaimed, "The Grand Lord can win against me within 300 rebuttals. You can too. In terms of battling capabilities, you are no weaker than the Grand Lord."
Hearing this, Ling Xian smiled and didn't say anything.
He knew his own capabilities. Just like Ao Tian said, he could fight against the strongest Grand Lords. The reason why he didn't think he was on the same level as them was because he couldn't split heaven and earth and become the Heaven's Path.
This had nothing to do with battling capabilities. It was because his enlightenment towards the Dao wasn't as good as the two Grand Lords.
"I predicted that one day, I would be surpassed by others. But I didn't think that day would come so quickly."
"I really didn't think you would only use 300 years to leave me behind." Ao Tian's expression was complex and full of emotions.
He was the leader of the five Sky Emperors, reputed to be the strongest Immortal King since ancient times, and also known as the Sky Sovereign's gatekeeper. Those who surpassed him could stand shoulder to shoulder with the Sky Sovereign.
Looking at the two Eternal Worlds, there were countless outstanding people who wanted to leave him behind and be comparable to a Supreme Celestial Master.
Unfortunately, none of them succeeded. At most, they were on equal footing with him.
For example, the second generation Lord of the Heavenly Court who had stunned the ages, or the leader of the Sacred Region, the Blood Tribe Primogenitor, none of them could surpass Immortal King Proud Heaven.
Yet Ling Xian had done it. He did it at the age of 300. This meant other than the two Majestic Gods, he was above all powerhouses since the beginning of time!
"If I didn't encounter the Painting of the Nine Immortals, I wouldn't be where I am today."
Ling Xian exclaimed. He flipped open the yellowing "Who's Who in the Nine Provinces" and stared at the names that shocked both worlds. He felt like he was dreaming.
Liao Cang Qiong, The Untainted, Fa Wu Liang … Every single one of them recorded in the Nine Prefectures Famous Person's Record was a great character that would go down in history.
When he was young, Ling Xian always dreamed that he could surpass all the great characters recorded in the ancient books. Now, his dream had come true.
He had surpassed all the great characters recorded in the Nine Prefectures Famous Person's Record. Not just one, but all of them!
Other than the two Empyrean Heavenly Masters, any other powerhouse from the two Eternal Worlds was left behind by Ling Xian!
"You, right now, are undefeatable in both worlds. Even if the other rulers team up, they cannot do anything to you." Immortal King Proud Heaven smiled. Ling Xian was his disciple. To have such a glorious achievement naturally made him proud.
"My opponent is not the rulers, it is the Heaven's Path."
Ling Xian's eyes were deep. The moment he entered the Immortal King Realm, the rulers could no longer threaten him. The only person who could send him on his way was the Heaven's Path.
The 10 forbidden areas had fallen. The Heaven's Path was now complete and omnipotent. It was even more terrifying than a Majestic God.
Though Ling Xian could defeat all powerhouses, against the omnipotent Heaven's Path, he had no chance of winning.
"The Heaven's Path truly is troublesome." Immortal King Proud Heaven sighed. The Heaven's Path was now complete. Even if a Majestic God was reborn, he wouldn't be its opponent.
There were only two ways to fight against the Heaven's Path. The first was to have the complete Heaven's Path. The second was to have the Indestructible Physique and transform into the universe.
No matter which one it was, it was harder than climbing up to the sky.
"If I can transform into the Heaven's Path, then I might have a chance of survival."
Ling Xian exhaled deeply. After entering the Immortal King Realm, his battling abilities have skyrocketed to an unimaginable level. However, he was still one step away from the Indestructible Physique, Indestructible Physique, and Unending Technique.
This step was far too difficult to take, and it had stumped countless peerless geniuses.
"Transforming into the Heaven's Path is a bad plan. Even if you can, the Heaven's Path cannot be complete and you cannot fight against the Heaven's Path."
Immortal King Proud Heaven looked at Ling Xian in a serious manner, "Get rid of that thought. You are the only hope. You cannot sacrifice yourself to become the Heaven's Path."
Hearing this, Ling Xian was silent.
Transforming into the Heaven's Path was a bad plan. Repairing the Heaven's Path was a good plan.
Sadly, the difference between a good plan and a good plan was harder than climbing up to the sky. The last plan was more reliable.
"These are the three most difficult paths to walk. Nobody has reached the end. Even Heaven's Path is no exception."
"Therefore, nobody can give you advice. You can only rely on yourself."
Immortal King Ao Tian gave Ling Xian a long look, "I know how heavy this responsibility is. But other than you, nobody can shoulder it."
"I will do my best."
Ling Xian's eyes were deep. He had no way out and could only walk on with determination. Either he sees the light or he falls into the abyss.
"You have 50 years. When Heaven's Abyss shatters, it will be the day of the final battle."
"I hope by then, you will surpass Heaven's Path."
After those hopeful words trailed off, Immortal King Ao Tian turned around and disappeared.
"Transforming into the universe and surpassing Heaven's Path is far too difficult, far too difficult." Ling Xian sighed deeply. In these 60 years, he has been training with the Indestructible Technique and the Unending Technique. But even now, he has been stuck at a standstill.
As for the Indestructible Physique, there was no hope at all.
"If I'm not wrong, the third painting should be the method to cultivate the Indestructible Physique." Ling Xian's eyes flickered with light. But in the next second, they dimmed.
Even if he's right and gets the method to cultivate the Indestructible Physique, it's useless.
The Indestructible Technique cannot help him take the last step. The Unending Technique is the same. What's the point of getting the Indestructible Physique?
"Oh well, let nature take its course." Ling Xian muttered to himself and no longer thought about the third painting.
He cleared his mind of distractions and focused. He attempted to take the last step and achieve the Indestructible Physique.
Time passed by. In the blink of an eye, 10 years have passed. After Long Wu Shuang, another three people entered the Immortal Realm.
Including the leader of the Forbidden Zone and the Heart of the Emperor of Heaven, the universe now has 12 cultivators. Two powerhouses are no weaker than the Holy Realm.
Sadly, they cannot control the situation. Not even Immortal King Ao Tian can.
The only person who can turn the tide is Ling Xian.
