Inside the Volcano of Demons, a path appeared.
Ling Xian stood with his hands behind his back and marched forward. His relaxed manner made it seem like he wasn't walking in the Volcano of Demons, but rather, he was walking in his own garden.
When he saw the three young people before him, he frowned. Then, his eyes flickered and murky air began to exude and wrap around his body.
No matter what, he cannot reveal his real identity. Or else what awaits him will be the Shang Qing Sect's interrogation.
When the three of them saw the humanoid creature shrouded in Chaotic Qi, their eyes were filled with shock.
Remember that this was one of the Shang Qing Sect's forbidden areas. Even the Supreme Headmaster doesn't dare to enter.
Yet Ling Xian was strolling in the park and was at ease. Why wouldn't these people be shocked?
While they were overwhelmed with shock, their eyes also lit up with hope.
They had realized that with their current capabilities, it would be difficult for them to stay around the Volcano of Demons for even a moment, let alone entering. On top of that, the three of them had almost been wiped out. They were at the edge of death.
At such a critical moment, a powerhouse who treated the Volcano of Demons as if it was nothing appeared. Naturally, they felt hope.
The young man in gold paid his respect and shouted, "Your excellency, please help us!"
"Your excellency, please help us. After this, we will reward you handsomely!" The young man in purple followed, his eyes full of anticipation.
The young man in white was full of anticipation as well. He knew very well that his technique wouldn't last much longer. If the person before them doesn't help, then they will all die here.
"Help?"
Ling Xian frowned and glanced at the three of them with his Qi. He found out that the strongest among them was merely at the advanced stage of the foundational level. He couldn't help but to laugh.
"You dare to come to the Volcano of Demons with such capabilities? You sure are stupid."
At those words, their faces turned redder. For one, it was because of the high temperature. For another, it was because of shame.
At this moment, they had already realized how stupid they were. They actually thought that such a terrifying place was nothing. It was simply ridiculous.
Therefore, though their faces didn't look good, they didn't argue.
They didn't dare to argue.
As long as one wasn't an idiot, they could tell how terrifying Ling Xian was. Plus, they were waiting for him to save them, why would they dare to argue against him?
"You guys are lucky. I'm in a good mood right now, so I'll save you guys."
Grinning, Ling Xian marched forward. Every step he took, his body emitted waves of energy. Coupled with the lingering chaotic Qi, he looked like an otherworldly immortal.
He did not deliberately increase his speed, and remained unhurried. However, the vacuum path was aimed at the three people in front of them, causing the flames around them to immediately dissipate.
This made the three of them ecstatic, as if they had just survived a disaster.
"Let's go."
Ling Xian spoke softly. The moment he brushed past the three of them, a strange force of attraction emerged and wrapped around them tightly.
In the next second, he stepped forward softly. It was as if he had leaped through space and landed on the empty ground a few miles away from the Volcano of Demons.
The three of them also landed here.
This caused them to be astounded once more!
Since the strange force of attraction wrapped around them until now, only one second had passed. They had merely taken one step. Yet this one step brought them to a few miles away from the Volcano of Demons. Just how powerful was this technique?
Why wouldn't they be shocked?
As much as they were shocked, they finally calmed down. They now knew that their lives were safe. Then, their eyes flickered with gratefulness as they planned on thanking this terrifying powerhouse.
However, before they could say anything, Ling Xian spoke first.
"Alright, now that you are here, you are safe."
Ling Xian glared at the three of them, "Next time, remember not to be so stupid. Or else the price you pay will be your life."
At those words, the three of them were full of awkwardness and smiled.
At this, Ling Xian felt too lazy to say more. He marched forward another step and disappeared right where he stood.
This scene once again astounded them. But with what happened before, they quickly recollected themselves.
"That powerhouse was surrounded by murky air and I cannot see his face. I wonder which powerhouse he is from the Shang Qing Sect." The young man in gold sighed as if he was sad that he couldn't see Ling Xian's real face.
The young man in purple had a look of longing and exclaimed, "At the very least, he is at the same level as the Supreme Headmaster. Don't forget, he came out from the Volcano of Demons."
"Aye, this unparalleled aura, this cultivation level … when can I ever reach that level?" The young man in white was full of envy.
"Haha, stop dreaming. This senior's cultivation is beyond your reach." The young man in gold laughed. His tone was full of mockery.
The young man in purple had a smile on his face as well. "If I remember correctly, at the beginning, this senior was wearing a white robe. You were wearing a white robe as well. Sadly, you are both wearing white robes, but the difference between you is like heaven and earth. "
The young man in white ignored their teasing and continued to stare at where Ling Xian disappeared. He mumbled, "One day, I will catch up to your silhouette."
...
Ling Xian didn't know that after he left, the three of them exclaimed one after another. He also didn't think much of them.
To him, this was merely a small incident that happens all the time in his life. It wasn't worth his brain energy to remember. After he left the Volcano of Demons, he found a secluded cave.
After he exited the cave, his real body had entered the Painting of the Nine Immortals and was replaced by the clone.
Then, Ling Xian returned to his dorm.
It had been a full 10 years since he isolated himself. Naturally, he had to return to his dorm and find out what happened during these 10 years.
"Time sure flies by. I don't feel like time has passed, but 10 years have passed."
Exclaiming, Ling Xian pushed open the bedroom door and saw the androgynous Xiang Ru Gu sitting in a lotus position on his bed.
This person's eyes were tightly shut and wisps of smoke were rising from his head. It seemed like he was in isolation. However, his feminine and handsome face was full of pain. Especially after Ling Xian entered, the pain on his face intensified.
The Qi he was emitting was weakening as well.
"Hmm?"
Ling Xian frowned. After scanning with his Qi, he understood why Xiang Ru Gu was acting this way.
Inner demons.
The situation was exactly the same as when he broke through. This Xiang Ru Gu, who looked like a man and a woman at the same time, actually had an inner demon!
Plus, this person knew that the inner demons were growing, yet he chose to break through and didn't use his Qi to suppress them. In other people's eyes, this was stupidity. But to someone like Ling Xian who also had inner demons, this was a stubbornness that he wouldn't regret even if he died.
As for why he was so stubborn, nobody knew.
"It looks like he is someone with a story."
Sighing softly, Ling Xian stayed silent for a while and decided to help.
Though he and Xiang Ru Gu weren't being unreasonable, they were roommates after all. How could he just sit back and do nothing?
On top of that, he saw his own shadow on Xiang Ru Gu and he felt sorry for him.
Therefore, Ling Xian's expression turned serious and he said in a low voice, "Focus on breaking through. Leave the inner demons to me."
At that, Xiang Ru Gu's body quivered but he didn't say anything. However, he continued to break through to the next level to express his attitude.
"Very good. Focus and do not be distracted."
Ling Xian faintly grinned and began to chant an incantation. Immediately, a strange wave of energy descended upon him.
The silhouette of a Buddha appeared behind him. It was solemn and dignified. It sat in a lotus position and emitted a calming energy.
Immediately, Xiang Ru Gu's body stopped quivering and the pain on his face lessened.
"The Incantation of a Calm Heart sure is magical. It is very effective against inner demons." Ling Xian complimented and continued to chant the powerful technique of the Leiyin Temple.
Just like that, Xiang Ru Gu's condition improved and his face turned rosier.
After some time, his breathing was no longer as messy as before. Instead, it was steady and long.
It was obvious that Ling Xian had completely suppressed his inner demon.
After all, Xiang Ru Gu's cultivation level was low and the inner demon he created wasn't that powerful. Before his Incantation of a Calm Heart, how could it resist?
"I have suppressed your inner demon. What happens next is up to you."
Ling Xian revealed a faint smile. He no longer paid attention to Xiang Ru Gu and slowly walked to his bed.
Then, he couldn't help but smile. Because there was no dust on his bed. It was obvious that Xiang Ru Gu cleaned it often.
"Not bad, I didn't save you for nothing."
Nodding in satisfaction, Ling Xian leaned against his pillow and closed his eyes. As he waited for Xiang Ru Gu to successfully break through, he pondered his next move.
He had two goals for coming to the Shang Qing Sect. The first was to acquire the inheritance of this House. The second was to get his hands on the great fortune.
These two goals cannot be changed no matter what. But these two goals can definitely be accomplished in a short amount of time.
Therefore, Ling Xian planned on earning contribution points while increasing his cultivation level to the undefeatable realm of the completion level. Therefore, after he merges his two bodies, he may be able to break through to the original level right away.
After all, he insisted on walking the path of being undefeatable. Reaching the undefeatable realm of every level is a prerequisite. Therefore, he cannot accept the fact that he didn't reach the undefeatable realm of the completion level before breaking through to the original level.
Just as he was deep in thought, a powerful wave of energy poured out of him and shook the entire room.
Xiang Ru Gu had a breakthrough.
He broke through from the beginning stage of the foundational level to the intermediate stage.
He slowly opened his eyes and stared at the man in white. His gaze was complex.
There was shock, confusion, and gratitude.
He was shocked because he didn't think Ling Xian would be able to suppress his inner demon. He was grateful because Ling Xian helped him.
Xiang Ru Gu knew very well that without Ling Xian's help, he would've died in the end. Therefore, why wouldn't he be grateful?
Therefore, he slowly walked up to Ling Xian and said sincerely, "Xian Ling, thank you for helping me in time and helping me suppress my inner demon."
