"Very well, I knew you wouldn't say no."
The leader smiled in satisfaction, "Let's go. Don't make the Supreme Headmaster wait too long."
"Alright." Ling Xian nodded. His eyes flashed with heat.
He cannot let go of this opportunity. At the same time, he will not let go of the fortune!
"Let's go."
The leader rolled up his sleeve and the wind howled. He carried Ling Xian and disappeared from the room.
When the two of them reappeared, they were at a piece of empty land 3,000 miles away.
This place was empty and silent. There was only a giant hole in this empty land that was extremely eye-catching.
"This is the place."
The Leader of the Path of Arrays stroked his beard and dispersed the spiritual energy around Ling Xian. Though on the surface, it looked like he was trying to get here as soon as possible, the reality was that the spiritual energy had other intentions.
After all, the ancient ruins were of great importance and he had to be careful.
Ling Xian knew this very well. Therefore, he stared at the Leader of the Path of Arrays and complimented, "You are an original leveled cultivator after all. Within a few breaths of time, you have traveled 3,000 miles."
"Haha, you are flattering me."
The leader laughed brightly, "Let's go. The ancient ruins are right below us." Then, he marched forward in giant steps and walked into the giant hole with his head held high.
"An original leveled powerhouse sure is extraordinary. Sadly, you cannot see through this clone of mine." Ling Xian silently smiled and followed.
Then, he squinted his eyes and silently rejoiced that he didn't sneak in.
Because the moment he entered, he sensed more than 10 different arrays. Though with his grandmaster level, it wasn't hard for him to break them, these arrays weren't for defense, they were for testing.
The moment someone enters, the array will sound a warning and alert the cultivators guarding the ruins.
"Luckily I didn't force my way in. Or else my soul would be in hell by now."
Ling Xian silently felt lucky. Then, he followed the leader and checked out the surroundings of the ruins.
This place was like an underground labyrinth. There were winding paths everywhere, and every few steps, there would be a fork in the road. The paths crisscrossed and intersected, making one dizzy.
Apart from the intricate paths, there were only stone chambers one after another. Along the way, he had seen at least ten stone chambers.
Without exception, these stone rooms had already been opened, and they were all empty. In other words, the Shang Qing Sect had taken all the treasures here.
This made Ling Xian's heart drop. He was a little worried that the Shang Qing Sect had already acquired the fortune. But very quickly, he relaxed.
This was because there was still one last checkpoint in the ruins that had not been cleared. In other words, the most important treasure location had not been cleared yet.
That opportunity was definitely the most important treasure in the entire ruin. Even if all the other treasures were added together, they still couldn't compare to that one treasure.
Therefore, Ling Xian stopped worrying and focused on the path beneath his feet. Because he intended to seize this opportunity to seize that fortuitous encounter. In this way, he had to familiarize himself with the terrain.
He had to memorize every small path and every fork in the road. This was the only way he could escape unscathed.
Just like that, the leader of the Path of Arrays led the way. Ling Xian, on the other hand, memorized the route and analyzed the situation.
"I will observe the situation first. If I can use gentle methods, I will try not to make a move. If that doesn't work, then I will have to take it myself. "
After making up his mind, Ling Xian's expression turned determined as he followed the leader.
After a series of twists and turns, he and the leader finally arrived at the last checkpoint.
Then, he saw the Supreme Headmaster, Ji Qian Bai, the four peak leaders, the leader of alchemy, and the leader of crafts. Plus, the leader of the Path of Arrays and all the higher-ups of the Shang Qing Sect were here.
It was obvious how important this ruin was.
Seeing that Ling Xian had arrived, all these important figures revealed a smile with anticipation.
"Disciple Xian Ling greets the Supreme Headmaster, the four peak leaders, and the two leaders." Ling Xian paid his respect to them.
"There is no need to be so polite."
Ji Qian Bai waved his hand with a smile, "Xian Ling, we are finally waiting for you."
"Headmaster, you are exaggerating." Ling Xian softly smiled, not believing Ji Qian Bai's bullsh * t.
They were waiting, but not for him. They were waiting for the stone room to open. Plus, the ruin has been around for more than 10 days. If they wanted Ling Xian to enter, then why didn't they find him earlier?
It was obvious that they didn't want to share the treasures with him.
The reason why they found him was because they couldn't solve this problem. If they could, they wouldn't have asked him to come.
"It's not serious at all. Only you can solve this checkpoint." Ji Qian Bai smiled, "I believe the leader of the Path of Arrays has already told you the reason."
Ling Xian nodded, "I know the reason. But I cannot guarantee that I can solve it."
"It's not a problem. Everyone here knows about your array and crafts skills. We all believe you have the ability." Ji Qian Bai smiled, his eyes were full of anticipation.
Everyone else reacted the same. They were all full of anticipation and passion.
The stone chambers in front of them were already filled to the brim. This last checkpoint, even if they thought with their toes, would be extraordinary. Naturally, they had high expectations.
Ling Xian had high expectations as well. But he didn't agree right away. Instead, he brought up a condition.
"I have a condition. If the Supreme Headmaster and everyone else agrees, then I will help."
Hearing this, Ji Qian Bai and them frowned. They were somewhat unhappy.
To them, Ling Xian was a pupil of the Shang Qing Sect, so he had to listen to their orders. Yet at this moment, he brought up a condition. Why wouldn't they be angry?
However, because of the checkpoint where only Ling Xian could make a move, Ji Qian Bai tried his best to smile, "Tell me what your condition is first."
"Simple."
The corner of Ling Xian's lips curled up, "If I break open the stone room, then let me choose one treasure first. I only need one."
At those words, everyone's frown deepened.
To pick one first meant that the most valuable treasure in the room could be taken by Ling Xian. Naturally, they were unwilling to do so.
However, after a moment of silence, Ji Qian Bai nodded and smiled, "Of course. As long as you can break open the stone room, then you will be the biggest contributor. You should have the right to choose first."
At those words, everyone else's expression changed. They didn't think the Supreme Headmaster would agree to Ling Xian's request.
Ling Xian, on the other hand, had a smile on his face. He shifted his gaze towards the four peak leaders and asked, "Do you all agree?"
"Since the Supreme Headmaster has agreed, then I have no objections." The cultivation peak leader spoke slowly.
The others looked at him and then at the smiling Ji Qian Bai. They all nodded and agreed to it.
At this, the corner of Ling Xian's lips curled up and revealed a joyous smile.
Since the important figures from the Shang Qing Sect had agreed, then as long as he can break open the stone room, the fortune he's been dreaming of will be his.
Therefore, why wouldn't he be happy?
