As one of the most important competitions in the Shang Qing Sect, every single movement of the Competition of the Four Paths, without a doubt, captured everyone's attention.
Therefore, when the news of Ling Xian winning all four paths and creating a new record spread, the entire Shang Qing Sect was thrown into chaos.
Everyone spread the news around. This news, as if it had wings, spread to everyone's ears within a few short hours.
The first reaction of everyone who heard the news was that it was impossible.
However, when the four peak leaders and the three grandmasters stepped out and confirmed it, everyone's disbelief turned into shock.
Shock like never before!
From the Supreme Headmaster, Ji Qian Bai, to the weakest disciple, everyone knew how unbelievable it was to train in all four paths. They also knew how difficult it was to achieve a grand slam.
It was because they knew this that they were shocked to the extreme!
After the shock, what replaced it was cheering.
Remember that the Competition of the Four Paths has been going on for tens of thousands of years, yet nobody has ever won all four paths. Now that Ling Xian had created a new record, why wouldn't they be cheering?
At once, the name Xian Ling once again shocked the Shang Qing Sect. Everyone was talking about his achievements and exclaiming over his achievements.
This made him the Sun in the sky and he was in the limelight!
However, under the fact that most people were cheering for him, there was also a lot of jealousy and danger.
Ta Ba Feng was one. Leng Feng was another.
However, the two of them were defeated by Ling Xian and posed no threat to him.
The most troublesome person was Yu Wu Xiu.
When this woman found out that Ling Xian had created a legend, she was shocked to the extreme. She didn't think he would be talented in all four paths. When she found out that he was the victor of the foundational level, her heart began to pound.
Ever since she was little, she has had a dream. That was to become the ruler of all nine levels of heaven and all 10 levels of hell.
Therefore, she needed to be extremely talented in cultivation.
This was also why when Ling Xian first displayed his talent in arrays, Yu Wu Xiu wasn't tempted.
But now, she was completely tempted.
Everyone knows what the undefeatable realm of the foundational level means. That meant extremely powerful talent and an incomparably bright future.
Therefore, why wouldn't she be tempted?
At this moment, the moon was hanging high in the sky. It was already late at night.
In the Bright Moon Tower, Yu Wu Xiu stood quietly by the window, looking at the bright moon in the sky. She was like a fairy that had descended to the mortal world, and could fly away with the wind at any time.
However, unlike her extraordinary temperament, her pretty face was filled with passion.
It was an expression of greed.
"Xian Ling, a Heaven's Favorite who has reached the undefeatable realm of the foundational level. He is talented in alchemy, arrays, and crafts."
Yu Wu Xiu's lips parted slightly, "There is no one more suitable than you. You are the one I have been waiting for."
"As long as I obtain your talent, my future will definitely be smooth sailing and incomparably brilliant."
Yu Wu Xiu's eyes were full of passion as she tightened her fists, "I cannot let go of this opportunity to reach the top no matter what."
With a thought, a half-black, half-white bead appeared.
This pearl was about the size of a longan. Half of it was black and the other half was white, and it emitted an extremely black and white light. The moment this bead appeared, an eerie atmosphere permeated the air and dropped the temperature inside the Tower of the Bright Moon to freezing point.
However, under this eerie atmosphere, Yu Wu Xiu didn't appear uncomfortable at all. Instead, she appeared to be enjoying it.
She was bathing in the black and white light, and her entire temperament changed.
If the her before was a pure and holy fairy, then the her now was a witch that fell into hell.
"The Pearl of Opportunity, you will soon find a place to use it."
Looking at the black and white bead before her, Yu Wu Xiu appeared to be drunk. It was as if she could already see the moment when Ling Xian's talent was transferred to her.
If there was someone knowledgeable, they would fall into a state of shock.
Because this bead was far too famous, and because this bead was far too terrifying.
The Pearl of Opportunity was a legendary treasure. Along with the other six heavenly pearls, it was one of the seven pearls. Its effect was that it could steal a living being's talent and transfer it to the user. It was extremely evil and extremely terrifying.
As long as the user uses this bead, under the circumstance that the difference in cultivation between the two parties isn't huge, the success rate is 100%.
This was why Yu Wu Xiu was so certain that Ling Xian's talent would be transferred to her.
"Xian Ling, if you want to blame someone, blame yourself for being too heaven-defying and meeting me."
Yu Wu Xiu revealed a faint smile. Under the contrast of the black and white light, her smile appeared eerie and evil.
"Just you wait. Once I finish my preparations, I will take away your talent. When that happens, I will be reborn and I will have the chance to step onto the peak of the world. "
Yu Wu Xiu's eyes were heated. She couldn't wait to find Ling Xian.
Though the Pearl of Opportunity was heaven-defying, it was very troublesome to use. Therefore, she needed to prepare well. Or else she would waste this once in a blue moon opportunity.
"Be patient. Very soon, I will be reborn. Hahaha."
Her black hair was tussling in the wind as she laughed into the sky like a crazy demon.
…..
Just as Yu Wu Xiu was planning to attack Ling Xian, Ling Xian, who was sitting in a lotus position inside the palace, was completely unaware.
But even if he knew, he wouldn't be flustered. Because this was the result he wanted to see.
The reason why he participated in the competition was mostly because of the rich rewards. But a small part of it was to lure Yu Wu Xiu into his trap.
Therefore, if this woman didn't take the bait, then he would be disappointed.
"She has revealed her talent in cultivation. There is no reason for Yu Wu Xiu not to be tempted. It won't be long before I face off against her."
Inside the stone room, Ling Xian mumbled to himself. His face was full of complexity.
There was anticipation and there was unwillingness.
After all, if he could completely let go of that relationship, then he wouldn't have the demon inside him the moment he saw Yu Wu Xiu. Therefore, even though he had made up his mind to end things with that woman, he still wasn't willing to face it.
Fortunately, he knew that he couldn't let himself stagnate because of this woman. Therefore, his hesitation turned into determination.
"No matter what, I have to end things with her. Or else I will be troubled by the demon inside me."
Ling Xian's expression was determined. Suddenly remembering the terror of the Pearl of Opportunity, he couldn't help but to mumble, "It's just that that pearl is a little troublesome. In the Hidden Territory, I had no way to resist and it took away my talent."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but be worried.
However, when he remembered that Yu Wu Xiu thought he was merely at the foundational level, when in reality, he was at the peak of the completion level, he revealed a relaxed smile.
"Come, I will wait for you."
Grinning, Ling Xian no longer thought about this. He slowly closed his eyes and entered the state of cultivation.
Even though the process of the Competition of the Four Paths was simple and effortless, Ling Xian still managed to achieve a grand slam. But after all, he ran to four places in a row and his mental state was extremely tense. It was inevitable for him to be a little tired.
Therefore, he needed to rest for a while.
Just like that, he calmed himself down and didn't think about anything else.
Time passed by little by little. After about half a month, he finally opened his eyes.
Whooosh!
A ray of light flashed across his eyes and disappeared in a flash.
It was obvious that his mental state had returned to its peak and the tiredness on his body was gone. He gave off the vibe of a lively dragon and a lively tiger.
"Next, it is time for me to go to the Cliff of Enlightenment." Ling Xian sat on top of the cushion in a lotus position and his eyes flickered with anticipation.
The Cliff of Enlightenment was one of the most mysterious places in the Shang Qing Sect. It was also one of the most important foundations of the Sect.
Many omnipotent cultivators had left behind their experiences there. It was a paradise that everyone in the Shang Qing Sect yearned for.
Based on incomplete statistics, every single cultivator who enters the Cliff of Enlightenment improves after they come out. Even if one's enlightenment abilities are extremely bad, one can still gain something.
After all, there are far too many omnipotent's experiences there. It could be described as limitless. Because of this, no matter how bad one's enlightenment abilities are, one can still gain some insights.
If one's enlightenment abilities are strong enough, then one will gain a shocking amount of knowledge.
Not only are there the experiences of omnipotent cultivators there, but there are also many powerful inheritances!
Sadly, the price of activating the Cliff of Enlightenment is far too high. Even with the Shang Qing Sect's capabilities, they cannot just let everyone go. Or else this Sect would've dominated the world a long time ago.
"Inside the Hidden Territory, the Shang Qing Sect has been guarding against me. They didn't want to pay the price to let me enter the Cliff of Enlightenment."
Ling Xian softly grinned, "I cannot believe that in reality, I have the opportunity to stay there for four days."
One has to admit that this was an extremely shocking number. The majority of people, in their entire lifetime, cannot even get the opportunity to stay at the Cliff of Enlightenment for an hour. Even the four peak leaders have not had the opportunity to stay there for four full days.
However, he could. The value of this fortune was too great, and it could simply be said to be immeasurable!
Don't forget, his enlightenment abilities were extremely high. Even the few real immortals complimented him. Yet now, he was about to enter a place where enlightenment was the strongest. Wasn't this the same as a wolf entering a flock of sheep? He would be able to enlighten himself without fear!
It wasn't hard to imagine how much he would gain after entering the Cliff of Enlightenment!
"With my extraordinary comprehension and four days of time, just thinking about it makes me look forward to it."
The corner of Ling Xian's lips curled up. His eyes were full of anticipation and passion, "Let's go. Let me see just how magical the Cliff of Enlightenment is."
Then, he straightened his back and left the stone room.
Then, he chatted with Dong Fang Bi for a while before leaving the palace.
His next goal was obvious – the Cliff of Enlightenment that everyone in the Shang Qing Sect yearns for.
Just as he was heading towards the Cliff of Enlightenment, Yu Wu Xiu, who was inside the Tower of Tomorrow's Moon, had completed most of her preparations. Only the last step was left.
"Xian Ling, it won't be long. Before long, your talent will be mine."
Yu Wu Xiu's eyes were full of passion and greed. She had already decided that Ling Xian's talent will be the foundation of her success.
