Inside the underground palace, a stone door began to emit light that was as bright as the Sun. It was so bright that everyone couldn't open their eyes.
Then, under Ling Xian's heated gaze, the door automatically moved to the two sides and revealed the stone room.
The stone room was very empty. Only four human-shaped statues were standing there. They were heavy like mountains and emitted an ancient vibe.
The four of them were each holding onto a heavenly treasure. They were a red ruler, a palm-sized black cauldron, a green flag, and a white jade box.
All four of these treasures were extraordinary. The first three, in particular, were exuding dominating vibrations. It was as if they could destroy heaven and earth and flatten all eight directions. One look was enough to tell that they were extremely powerful treasures!
Therefore, when Ji Qian Bai and them looked over, their gazes were immediately attracted by the three treasures. Everyone's eyes were heated and full of greed.
However, Ling Xian wasn't attracted by the three treasures. Since the beginning, he had been staring deadly at the white jade box.
Though he has never seen that treasure before, he has heard of its appearance. There was no way it was one of the other three. Although the white jade box looked ordinary, he could sense that there was an unusual aura within it.
"That's it. There is no doubt about it!"
Ling Xian screamed in his heart. His eyes were full of heat and he wanted nothing more than to rush up and take it for himself.
However, he also knew that he had to be calm at a time like this. Or else if Ji Qian Bai and them realized something was wrong, then he would be in trouble.
Therefore, he tried his best to calm himself down and smiled, "Supreme Headmaster, Peak Leaders, and Hallmaster, I have opened the stone door. Can I pick one now?"
"I …"
Hearing this, Ji Qian Bai frowned. Everyone else did the same.
Anyone with eyes could tell that none of these four treasures were ordinary. Only the white jade box was slightly lacking. But no matter what, to be able to stand side by side with the other three, meant it was not an ordinary treasure!
Plus, there were only four treasures in this stone room. It wasn't even enough for them, so why would they give it to Ling Xian? Plus, he had the first pick!
However, they had already said it. If they were to go back on their words, they couldn't bring themselves to do it. Therefore, Ji Qian Bai and them were wavering.
Seeing this, Ling Xian frowned and softly chuckled, "I think with the Supreme Headmaster and everyone else's reputation, they won't go back on their words. Therefore, I chose right away."
Then, he silently manipulated his Golden Dan to guard against Ji Qian Bai and them. At the same time, he strode towards the fourth statue.
It was the white jade box.
At this, Ji Qian Bai and the others frowned and were a little unhappy. But because they had already promised Ling Xian, they couldn't go back on their words. They could only sigh and let him go.
Sensing that no one was making any moves, Ling Xian sighed in relief and stopped worrying. He knew that the divine item that could affect the future of the world was now his.
This caused his eyes to burn with passion. He excitedly grabbed the white jade box in his hand.
However, the moment he touched it, something unexpected happened.
The white jade box automatically opened, and a key the size of an index finger flew out, emitting an extremely dazzling light!
Even the light from the other three treasures was suppressed by this key. It was as if it was the only thing in the world. Everyone and everything else before it could only serve as a foil!
"Dammit!"
When the key flew into midair, Ling Xian's expression changed drastically. His heart dropped to the bottom of an abyss.
He now knew that this was not going to end well. If the white jade box didn't open, he could've taken this treasure out and claimed it for himself.
But now, he couldn't. Because he believed that Ji Qian Bai and them have heard of the legend of this item!
Just as he expected, the moment the key shone, everyone fell into a state of shock.
"Could it be … the legendary Soaring Key?"
Ji Qian Bai's eyes widened and even his voice was shaking.
Everyone else reacted the same. Their eyes were full of disbelief and they were holding their breaths!
"Oh my god, it is one of the three keys, the Soaring Key. Legend has it that it can open the door to the immortal world and allow one to ascend!"
"Am I hallucinating? The legendary Ascension Key is right in front of me!"
"As long as we get our hands on this key, we can pass through the immortal world and live forever! We will be undefeatable!"
All the important figures here were going crazy. Their normal calmness was thrown out the window. Everyone was so excited that they found it hard to control themselves!
All because the Soaring Key was far too important!
To be able to open the door to the immortal world, this ability alone was enough to drive everyone insane!
Remember that it has been 30,000 years since anyone from the Taoism community has ascended. This was because Heaven and Earth had changed drastically and nobody was strong enough to break the barrier between the Taoism community and the immortal world.
Therefore, opening the door to the immortal world became every cultivator's last hope. The Soaring Key was a heavenly treasure that could open the door to the immortal world!
Therefore, why wouldn't Ji Qian Bai and them go crazy? Not to mention them, even the most powerful cultivators in the World of Cultivators would go crazy over it!
Their eyes were red and they were screaming crazily. As much as Ling Xian felt happy, his heart also fell to the bottom of an abyss.
He was happy because the key really was the legendary Soaring Key that could open the door to the immortal world. He fell to the bottom of an abyss because this was not going to end well.
Nobody could resist the temptation of the Soaring Key. Even if they swore to the heavens, they wouldn't be able to control their greed.
Plus, Ling Xian was too excited and forgot to ask them to swear to the heavens. Without this restriction, what was a verbal promise?
Even if he had to give up his face, they would not allow him to take the Soaring Key!
After all, it was the same as living forever. In the entire world, who could resist this temptation?
"Dammit, why did it suddenly fly out!"
Ling Xian cursed silently. He didn't think what was supposed to be a foregone conclusion would once again change. They were also forcing him into a dead end.
Either fight to the death or give up.
The former would have a 90% chance of survival, the latter would have regrets for the rest of his life. He might even lose his only chance to ascend!
"Since I have come this far, then no matter what, I cannot give up." Ling Xian clenched his teeth and made up his mind.
Fight!
Fight to the death and have no regrets!
In a flash, Ling Xian grabbed the Key of the Flying Immortal in his hand. Then, he displayed the Thunderous Flame Escape in an attempt to get out of the palace!
Sadly, the reason he was able to grab the Soaring Key was because Ji Qian Bai and them were in a state of insanity. Now that he moved, they regained their senses.
Therefore, why would Ji Qian Bai and them let him leave?
"Xian Ling, where do you think you're going? Hand over the Soaring Key! "
Ji Qian Bai shouted and his original leveled Qi roared out of him. It immediately broke Ling Xian's Thunderous Flame Escape and forced him to step back 10 steps.
At the same time, the four peak leaders and three path leaders stood in a straight line and blocked the exit.
This made Ling Xian's expression darken.
His heart fell to the bottom of an abyss.
