"Could it really be that kind of monument?"
Ling Xian shrieked in shock, his expression was uncertain.
He had seen this kind of monument in the Lost Century. Whether it was the style or the temperament, it was exactly the same. Therefore, Ling Xian's expression changed drastically. He didn't think he would run into this monument here.
If it was because of the legend, he would've thrown this monument out a long time ago.
Seeing Ling Xian's change in expression, Lin Ying's heart tightened, "Elder Ling, what is the history of this monument?"
"Aye, it's best if you don't know." Ling Xian sighed. Remembering the terror of this monument made his head hurt.
"I don't want to know?"
Lin Ying was startled. Wang Yang frowned as well, unsure of what was so strange about this monument that it made Ling Xian sigh.
"Aye, it's not that I don't want to tell you. It's just that other than satisfying your curiosity, it won't do you any good." Ling Xian sighed, "If I'm not careful, I might get into trouble."
Wang Yang and Lin Ying frowned. Seeing Ling Xian's serious expression, they suppressed their curiosity and didn't dare to ask more.
"Aye, what a troublesome item."
Ling Xian shook his head and sighed. After a while, he said, "I cannot tell you the history of this monument. But I can tell you one thing, and that is that this monument is terrifying and troublesome. If you get your hands on it, you will be in trouble sooner or later. Therefore, I want you to give it to me. "
"This..." Lin Ying hesitated for a moment, a little unwilling.
Anyone with eyes could tell that this monument was not ordinary and was very mysterious. She was born bold and had a strong curiosity. Therefore, she was a little unwilling.
However, Wang Yang smiled honestly and agreed, "No problem. Since this monument is so terrifying, we will only be inviting trouble for ourselves if we take it. Elder Ling, feel free to take it."
"Idiot."
Lin Ying rolled her eyes at Wang Yang and communicated, "That monument is obviously not ordinary and we were the ones who found it. Why did you agree? Could it be that you think this monument is troublesome based on what Elder Ling said? "
"Xiao Ying, what kind of person is Elder Ling? Why would he lie to us? If he says he will get into trouble, then he will. I believe him. "Wang Yang communicated. The way he looked at Ling Xian was full of admiration.
It seemed like Ling Xian's charisma had conquered him.
Ling Xian wasn't lying to him. The terror of this monument was something even original leveled cultivators would find troublesome. If Wang Yang and Lin Ying were to take care of it, they might cause some trouble or even threaten their lives.
This was why Ling Xian asked for this monument.
"Very well, then I shall accept this stone tablet."
Ling Xian faintly grinned. Noticing Lin Ying's reluctance, he thought about it and said, "Even though this monument is troublesome, it is still a treasure. How about this, I will compensate you with the Petal of Enlightenment."
"We can't. Our lives were saved by Elder Ling. Without you, the two of us would have been killed by the Nine-headed Spiritual Lion, and this stone tablet would have fallen into its hands. "Wang Yang waved his hands, unwilling to accept it.
Lin Ying shook her head as well. She was very thankful towards Ling Xian. It was only out of curiosity that he felt a little reluctant. He wasn't an ungrateful person.
"One thing is another. The two cannot be confused."
Ling Xian waved his hand. Though this monument posed a great threat, it had its benefits as well. It was also a heavenly object. Plus, what kind of person was he? Why would he take advantage of the two of them?
"Elder Ling, just listen to me. If you didn't help us in time, we would've died a long time ago. We wouldn't even have this treasure. "Wang Yang shook his head stubbornly, unwilling to accept Ling Xian's compensation.
Seeing this, Ling Xian smiled helplessly. After a moment of silence, he suddenly had an idea.
He manipulated his Qi and glanced at Wang Yang and Lin Ying. Then, he frowned.
Using his Qi, he found out that the two of them were in a bottleneck state. They had accumulated enough Qi, but they just could not break through to the intermediate stage of the completion level.
This made him frown. He thought back to the 12 peaks of the Wan Jian House he read. After a while, he guessed the inheritance these two were cultivating.
Grinning, Ling Xian opened his mouth, "If I am not wrong, you are cultivating the inheritance of the Seek Sword Peak."
"Elder Ling has good eyes." Wang Yang's eyes flashed with shock. He didn't think Ling Xian would be able to tell what they were cultivating.
Ling Xian brandished his hand, "Seek sword, seek sword. This peak's inheritance is all about seeking. In other words, to break through, one needs to understand the sword. "
The inheritance of the Seek Sword Peak was different from the other peaks. Others relied on cultivation, but this peak relied on enlightenment. The so-called seeking sword was to observe a heavenly sword and understand the source of the sword. Then, one could use this to break through.
Only then would one's cultivation level breakthrough.
Wang Yang and Lin Ying were both cultivating this technique. At first, it was smooth sailing. But as their cultivation level grew, they had seen all the heavenly swords in the Wan Jian House. Therefore, they were stuck at the beginning stage of the completion level for a long time and could not break through.
"We know that. But after we broke through to the beginning stage of the completion level, we could not find a suitable sword to enlighten ourselves with. That's why we are stuck here."
Wang Yang bitterly chuckled. Lin Ying's expression was bitter as well. They were already over 30 years old. Completion levelled cultivators at this age, in the eyes of normal people, were geniuses.
But in the eyes of the top Heaven's Favorites in Yunzhou, they paled in comparison. Just look at Ling Xian and you will know. Ignoring his current cultivation level, just his previous capabilities alone.
To reach the intermediate stage of the completion level at the age of 20, this was the top Heaven's Favorite in Yunzhou!
Because of this, Wang Yang and Lin Ying felt bitter. They felt like they had failed the House's training and training.
"The Wan Jian House does not have a suitable heavenly sword?" Ling Xian raised an eyebrow, a little surprised. But this was good, he could help.
"The Wan Jian House is based on swords. Naturally, we have many heavenly swords. However, none of them are suitable for the two of us." Wang Yang's expression was lonely.
"I see." Ling Xian softly grinned, "Maybe I can help."
Hearing this, Wang Yang and Lin Ying's eyes exploded with light. They asked in unison, "Are you serious?"
"I am not sure. But it will help a little." Ling Xian softly grinned. He didn't have any good swords on him, but he did have a great sword.
Execution.
Though this sword was not tangible, it was easier to enlighten others than a real sword. Because the process of its evolution is the birth of a heavenly sword. It can also help cultivators understand the source of swords.
This was why he said that he could help.
"Elder Ling, if you can really help us break through, then you will be our savior."
Wang Yang and Lin Ying were excited. They have been stuck at this level for a long time and have never stopped thinking about breaking through. However, as time went on, they lost their confidence and felt like they had failed the Wan Jian House.
Now that Ling Xian said he could help, why wouldn't the two of them be excited?
"Don't be too excited. Calm down. I am not 100% confident that I can help you break through." Ling Xian brandished his hand and didn't make a promise.
After all, this was the first time he was using a sword to enlighten others.
"It's good that there is hope. The two of us are almost hopeless." Wang Yang grinned, his eyes flickered with high expectations.
Ling Xian softly grinned, "Then let us begin. Watch carefully."
Then, his eyes flickered and instantly, one turned white and the other black. Then, rays of murky air poured out and solidified into a bloody red sword.
Because this time, he wasn't going to fight, he was going to help others enlighten themselves. Therefore, Ling Xian controlled his speed and condensed bit by bit.
The murky air dissipated and the silhouette of a bloody long sword slowly materialized. First, it was the delicate hilt, then the sharp blade, and finally, the sharp tip of the sword. The entire process was mysterious and out of the ordinary.
Without a doubt, from a certain perspective, this was the process of the birth of a heavenly sword. It was the best way to enlighten others.
The reality was that. The moment the hilt of the sword appeared, Wang Yang and Lin Ying were stunned. Then, the two of them hurriedly used the inheritance of the Seek Sword Peak and fell into a state of enlightenment.
The two pairs of eyes stared fixedly at the Sword of Execution. Mysterious runes flickered in their eyes as they tried to understand the mysteries of the Sword of Execution.
At this, Ling Xian raised an eyebrow and mumbled to himself, "The inheritance of the Seek Sword Peak sure is mysterious. It allows one to understand the mysteries of a heavenly sword and use it to train the sword inside their body."
"It looks like I need to find an opportunity to train myself."
Mumbling, Ling Xian allowed the Sword of Execution to transform itself. He leaped into the air and arrived at the peak of the mountain.
Wang Yang and Lin Ying had fallen into a state of enlightenment. Unless they understand the mysteries of the Sword of Execution, they won't be able to get out of it in a short period of time. Therefore, he planned to take advantage of this period of time to deal with the strange stone tablet.
"I cannot believe I would see this monument again in the Imperishable Temple. I wonder if I am lucky or unlucky. "
Ling Xian softly sighed. Looking at the stone monument before him, he felt a headache coming on. But since he encountered it, then he had no choice but to try his best.
Though the result of failure will be tragic, if he succeeds, then this monument won't be a problem, it will be an opportunity.
As for whether or not he succeeds, that will depend on him, on the monument, and on God's will.
"Though I understand the information about this monument, I have never personally experienced it. I can only try my best. I hope this is a kind 'monument' … "
The moment Ling Xian said this, he couldn't help but to chuckle. How could something sealed by this monument be kind?
"Wishful thinking."
Shaking his head with a smile, Ling Xian erased his smile and turned serious. This monument was extremely terrifying. Even for someone as powerful as him, he had to treat it with caution.
"Let me begin. No matter if I succeed or fail, I have to try."
Inhaling deeply, Ling Xian formed a hand seal. He wasn't trying to undo the seal, he was trying to lock it down again!
Whooosh!
A ray of heavenly light howled out and turned into a seal that surrounded the monument. Then, multiple seals appeared and intertwined with each other, increasing their power.
Instantly, a terrifying amount of sealing energy poured out of him and engulfed the monument, giving it extra protection.
At this, Ling Xian sighed in relief. He felt like with these seals, he could stop worrying for now.
"Next, I will see if the thing sealed by this monument is willing to communicate with me."
