Inside the cave, just as Ling Xian was about to continue studying the techniques on the wall, he suddenly received a message.
Immediately, he was certain that this was a message from Chu Zhong Tian.
Because this type of message can only be sent if a strand of spiritual energy is given to someone else. Only then can that person send a message from thousands of miles away.
He only gave Chu Zhong Tian his spiritual energy because he wanted to know what was happening in the City of Sin.
After all, that was his territory. As the owner, why wouldn't he care?
Therefore, when he sensed that someone was sending him a message, Ling Xian immediately thought of Chu Zhong Tian. Then, he revealed a faint smile, thinking that Chu Zhong Tian found out about the secret of the City of Sin and that's why he was sending him a message.
However, when he opened the message with his Spirit, he furrowed his brows.
He was right. This was a message from Chu Zhong Tian. However, the content was not what he expected.
Come quickly.
This was Chu Zhong Tian's message. It was short and short, but it was full of urgency.
"What happened?"
Ling Xian frowned. He originally thought Chu Zhong Tian had found out about the Guardian City's secret. He didn't think the message would be short and short.
Moreover, these two words fully displayed a kind of urgency, causing people to associate it with whether or not they were in danger at first sight.
"It's been more than 10 years and Chu Zhong Tian hasn't contacted me. Now that he is sending me a message and the content is so urgent, something must have happened. "
Ling Xian softly sighed. He suddenly had a bad feeling.
Seeing him like this, Yu Wu Xiu's eyes flickered, "It looks like you are in trouble."
"Curiosity kills. You should take care of yourself." Ling Xian glared at her. Though he had a bad feeling about this, with his mentality, why would he panic?
"Hmmph!"
Yu Wu Xiu hissed but didn't speak.
After what happened just now, Ling Xian's position in her heart had risen immeasurably and became a synonym for immeasurable. Plus, right now, she was basically his slave. Why would she dare to act presumptuously?
"It looks like you are not happy with me." Ling Xian spoke softly. His tone was like the north wind, bone chilling.
At once, Yu Wu Xiu shuddered and lowered her head, "I don't dare."
"It's best if you don't dare."
Ling Xian glared at her and suddenly remembered something. He smiled, "Tell me, if other people find out that the Shang Qing Sect's saintess has become my slave, how would they feel?"
Hearing this, Yu Wu Xiu's fists tightened. Then she loosened them.
If outsiders were to find out that she, the proud daughter of heaven, had become someone else's slave, she would lose all her face. Therefore, she gritted her teeth and said, "I am warning you. If you dare to tell anyone about this, then I will fight you to the death."
"I've already planted a seal in your body. With a single thought from me, you'll die. There's no chance for us to perish together."
Ling Xian teased. Then, he wiped off his smile and said, "Alright, I will not tease you anymore. Be quiet."
As he spoke, he began to think about his next move.
Since Chu Zhong Tian had already sent him a message, it meant that no matter what, he had to go. Or else his land and his subordinates would be in trouble.
However, he was currently at the Cliff of Enlightenment and there was still a day until the end. If he left now, then it would be a waste of this opportunity.
"Nothing major should happen even if we wait for a day."
After a moment of silence, Ling Xian decided to head to the City of Sin after he exits this place. After all, this opportunity was hard to come by and he cannot let it go.
After he made up his mind, he shifted his gaze back to the stone wall and his expression turned serious.
"I need to hurry up and learn. After I exit this place, I will head to the City of Sin."
Mumbling, Ling Xian manipulated his Qi and pressed his palm against the stone wall.
At once, a mark of Dao appeared and was firmly grasped by his Qi. Then, he concentrated and tried his best to understand the techniques hidden within the marks.
This time, his comprehension was slower. Perhaps it was because this god art was more powerful, so he only found out its name after an hour of comprehension.
The Thunderbolt Escape.
Just like the name suggests, this was an escape technique that allowed the cultivator to explode with extreme speed. It was useful to save one's life. In the Taoism community, escape techniques have always been rare and valuable. Its value far surpasses offensive techniques of the same level.
Although this escape technique was only a Lesser Divine Ability, its value was not inferior to a Greater Divine Ability at all. In fact, it might even surpass it.
Therefore, after Ling Xian found out that this was a decent escape technique, he revealed a joyful smile.
Though he had the Winged Blitz, which was comparable to the legendary roc, his instantaneous explosiveness was not strong. If he were to encounter a life or death situation, he would be outclassed.
If he learns this escape technique, then he can first use it to travel a short distance, then use the Winged Blitz to travel a long distance. As a result, his speed became more and more perfect.
"I have wanted to learn an escape technique for a long time. It's just that escape techniques are far too valuable and I have never encountered one. Now that I have encountered the Thunderbolt Escape, this trip sure is worth it. "
Grinning, Ling Xian concentrated and tried to understand this technique.
Just like that, time passed by little by little.
Yu Wu Xiu, who was beside him, watched as he studied. A complex expression appeared on her face.
There was hatred, confusion, and helplessness.
"Aye, I thought I was 90% sure and that I would be walking on a glorious path. I cannot believe that not only did I fail, but I also lost my life. "
Exhaling a long sigh, Yu Wu Xiu's heart was full of bitterness. She felt like her future was bleak.
Yet there was nothing she could do. All she could do was beg Ling Xian not to cross the line.
"Xian Ling, I will remember this humiliation. In the future, I will return it to you 100 fold."
Yu Wu Xiu's gaze turned determined. She silently swore to herself that she will break the inhibition spell in her body and get back what she owed.
With this thought in mind, she picked up the dim Heaven Stealing Fortune Bead and leaned against the wall on the right, closing her eyes to rest.
Normally speaking, when a cultivator arrives at the Cliff of Enlightenment, they would be impatient to learn new techniques. However, her goal here was to steal Ling Xian's talent. Plus, as the honorable saintess, she had no lack of techniques.
Therefore, she didn't try to learn new techniques. Instead, she was thinking about how to break the inhibition spell in her body.
Just like that, one of them focused on learning while the other pretended to sleep.
At once, the cave became extremely quiet. The two of them did not disturb each other and continued with their own tasks.
After around six hours, Ling Xian slowly opened his eyes and revealed a joyous smile.
After six hours of enlightenment, he had now learned how to use the Thunderbolt Escape Technique. He was also able to successfully use it. This result was without a doubt, delightful.
After all, it was a very valuable technique. Anyone would be happy to learn it.
After he opened his eyes, Yu Wu Xiu opened her eyes as well. Her beautiful eyes flashed with shock.
Because she sensed that the mark of Dao had disappeared. It wasn't a temporary disappearance, it was a complete disappearance. This meant the technique inside the mark had been successfully learned by Ling Xian.
One had to know that it was not easy to successfully cultivate any kind of supernatural power, let alone the most difficult of all, the Art of Escape. If this was anyone else, they wouldn't succeed without at least 10 days to half a month.
Yet Ling Xian only used six hours. This, without a doubt, proved how enlightened he was.
It also shocked Yu Wu Xiu!
"Six hours. He only used six hours. How enlightened does he have to be to achieve this?"
Yu Wu Xiu was in awe. Other than disbelief, there was also naked greed on her face.
This level of talent, this level of enlightenment, to her, was a fatal temptation.
But when she remembered how terrifying the person before her was, it was as if a bucket of cold water was poured over her. She now knew that there was no way she could steal Ling Xian's talent. At least not in a short period of time.
"You are already my slave, yet you still dare to have evil thoughts about me. You sure don't want to give up."
Ling Xian spoke softly, "Yu Wu Xiu, you better behave. Or else I will not go easy on you."
His last statement was full of killer's intent. Yu Wu Xiu couldn't help but shudder. She no longer dared to reveal her greedy gaze.
Seeing this, Ling Xian felt too lazy to pay attention to this woman. Time was tight for him and he had to use every second he had.
Therefore, he once again pressed his palm against the wall. He planned on using the remaining time to learn another technique.
This time, he encountered a type of defensive divine art called Aurora Light. This technique allows the cultivator to form a layer of light with extremely strong defensive abilities. It was a great technique.
"A defensive technique? That's good. It can be used with the Armor of the Royal Spirits."
Ling Xian softly grinned, very satisfied with this technique. Then, he allowed himself to enter a state of emptiness and began to enlighten himself on the Aurora Light.
Time flew by again. After around two hours, he slowly opened his eyes. A ray of light flashed by.
"Gather the spiritual energy from heaven and earth, gather the light of the Sun and the Moon."
Mumbling, Ling Xian's hands moved in the air and he displayed the technique of the Aurora Light.
Immediately, the milky white light solidified into a bubble that surrounded him. Though it appeared to be defenseless, Ling Xian could feel that this layer of light had extraordinary defensive abilities.
Even if he stood still and let someone of the same level attack him, it wouldn't be easy to break through.
Looking at the light around Ling Xian, Yu Wu Xiu frowned and suddenly remembered something. She couldn't help but exclaim, "The Aurora Light, you acquired this technique!"
"Oh?"
Ling Xian raised an eyebrow, "I can't believe even you are surprised. It seems like this technique has a history."
"You sure are lucky."
Yu Wu Xiu's face flashed with jealousy, "This technique has a long history. It is a technique created by an omnipotent from the Shang Qing Sect. Its defensive abilities are extremely powerful."
Pausing, she continued, "However, for some unknown reason, that ancestor didn't pass down this technique. This has always been one of the Shang Qing Sect's regrets. I cannot believe that the ancestor left this technique on the Cliff of Enlightenment. "
"I see. It seems like I acquired a very good technique." Ling Xian smiled in satisfaction.
Yu Wu Xiu shook her head and said something that piqued Ling Xian's interest.
"If it was only not bad, it wouldn't be enough for me to shout."
