“Could it… really be THAT stone monunt?”
After a gasp, Ling Xian’s expression beca unsettled.
He had encountered this stone monunt during his ti in the lost century. Both the look and the vibe was identical to the one he had seen. This was why Ling Xian’s expression changed drastically. He truly did not expect to see this stone monunt here and now.
If it weren’t for that legend, he would be throwing out this monunt right now.
Seeing Ling Xian’s surprise, Lin Ying’s heart tightened, and she asked, “Elder Ling, what is the story behind this monunt?”
“Aye, it would be better for you not to know.” Ling Xian softly sighed. Rembering the monunt’s horrifying back story, he felt a headache.
“Better if I don’t know?”
Lin Ying froze, and Wang Yang frowned, unsure what made this monunt so eerie that even Elder Ling Xian would be sighing.
“Aye, I don’t want to talk about it because other than fulfilling your own curiosity, nothing good can co out of it.” Ling Xian sighed again. “It may even cause a lot of trouble, and you may get hurt.”
Wang Yang and Lin Ying frowned. Noticing Ling Xian’s heavy expression, they repressed their own curiosity and didn’t ask about it more.
“Aye, what a troubleso matter.”
Ling Xian shook his head while sighing. After a mont of silence, he said, “I cannot talk about where the stone monunt ca from, but I can tell you that this monunt is very terrifying and very troubleso. If you get your hands on it, you will get into big trouble one day. Therefore, I request that you give the monunt.
“I…” Lin Ying hesitated, a little bit unwilling.
Everyone could tell that this monunt did not have an ordinary background and was extrely mysterious. Lin Ying was born extrely curious and very reckless. Therefore, she was a little unwilling to let it go.
However, Wang Yang chuckled and agreed right away, “Not a problem. Since this monunt is terrifying, holding onto it will only get us into trouble. Elder Ling, take it away.”
“Idiot.”
Lin Ying rolled her eyes at Wang Yang and silently sent the ssage, “The stone monunt is obviously not an ordinary object. We were also the ones who found it. Why did you agree to his request? Could it be because you believed in Elder Ling’s one statent that it’s troubleso?”
“Ying, who is Elder Ling? Why would he lie to us? He said holding onto it will get us into trouble, so I believe it will. I trust him,” Wang Yang silently responded. The way he looked at Ling Xian was with utter respect.
It appears that Ling Xian’s personality has attracted him and completely overpowered him.
Ling Xian was not lying to them. The terror of this monunt is sothing even those of the original level would be troubled by. If he let Wang Yang and Lin Ying keep it, then sothing bad was bound to happen and their lives may be threatened.
This was why Ling Xian spoke up and requested the monunt.
“Very good, then I accept this stone monunt.”
Ling Xian faintly grinned. Seeing that Lin Ying was unwilling to give it up, he thought about it. “Though this monunt is troubleso, it’s also a treasure. How about this, I will repay you with the Petals of Enlightennt.”
“There really is no need. We are only alive because you saved us. Without you, both of us would’ve been killed by the nine headed spiritual lion. This monunt would’ve also fallen into its hands.” Wang Yang brandished his hand and was unwilling to accept it.
Lin Ying on the other side also shook her head. She appreciated Ling Xian a lot and was only unwilling to let go of the treasure because of curiosity. She wasn’t unappreciative.
“Those are two separate events, and we shouldn’t get them mixed up.”
Ling Xian waved around his hand as well. Though the monunt was threatening, there are pros with it as well and was a treasure in itself. Also, who was he? Why would he ever feel the need to take advantage of these two?
“Elder Ling, please listen to . If you didn’t step up in ti, the two of us would’ve died, let alone getting our hands on this treasure.” Wang Yang shook his head stubbornly and would not accept Ling Xian’s paynt no matter what.
At this, Ling Xian smiled helplessly. After staying silent for a bit, he had an idea.
Using his Qi, he scanned Wang Yang and Lin Ying’s bodies and frowned.
His Qi sensed that the two of them were stuck at a bottleneck. Though the spiritual energy they have been storing were enough to move up a level, they could not breakthrough to the interdiate stage of the completion level.
This made him frown. As he recalled the different inheritances of the 12 peaks, he guessed what these two were cultivating.
Smiling, Ling Xian opened his mouth to speak, “If I’m not wrong, you were training under the Seek Sword Peak.”
“Elder Ling sure have good eyes.” Wang Yang’s eyes flashed with shock. He couldn’t believe that Ling Xian could see through them and find out the techniques they were attempting to learn.
Ling Xian waved around his hand, “Seek Sword, Seek Sword, all the inheritances related to that peak is based on the word ‘seek’. This ans, in order to breakthrough, you must understand the sword.”
The Seek Sword Peak’s inheritances did not lack next to other peaks. Different from others, however, the inheritances it had can only be acquired through enlightennt, not practice. The reason why it’s called seek sword ans the cultivator must know their swords well enough to realize where the sword draws its energy. From there, the cultivators can train and breakthrough.
Only after doing so can cultivators breakthrough.
Wang Yang and Lin Ying have been cultivating this way for a while. At first, their journey was smooth, but as their cultivation level grew, they have seen every single sword the Wan Jian House has to offer. Therefore, they were stuck at the beginning stage of the cultivation level, and they could not break through.
“Yes, this I know. But ever since we broke through from the beginning stage of the completion level, we could not find a sword to study. Therefore, our cultivation plateaued.”
Wang Yang bitterly chuckled and Lin Yang appeared disappointed. They were now in their 30s, and normally, completion leveled cultivators on this level at this age were known to be geniuses.
However, amongst the top Heaven’s Favorites in Yunzhou, they were falling behind. Using Ling Xian as an example, ignoring his current cultivation level, we can talk about his capabilities before today.
While in his 20s, he reached the interdiate stage of the completion level. This, was what it ant to be a top Heaven’s Favorite in Yunzhou!
This was why Wang Yang and Lin Ying felt disappointed in themselves. They felt like they had wasted the House’s resources and hope.
“The Wan Jian House, the House is known to have thousands of swords, have no proper swords for you to study?” Ling Xian frowned and felt surprised. But this was good. Now he can help.
“The Wan Jian House is built on swords. Naturally, it possesses many many spiritual swords. However, none of them were suitable for us.” Wang Yang was sowhat disappointed.
“I see,” Ling Xian softly smiled, “perhaps I can help.”
Hearing this, Wang Yang and Lin Ying’s eyes exploded with color. They shouted in unison, “You an that?”
“I am not 100% certain. But I can definitely help a little.” Ling Xian softly smiled. He had no good swords on him, but he had an extraordinary sword on him.
The Sword of Execution.
Though this sword was not exactly substantial, it was more than that. It can easily help others with enlightennt. This was because its transformation process is similar to the birth of a spiritual sword. It can help cultivators beco enlightened and understand the source of where the sword draws its energy.
This was why he said he could help.
“Elder Ling, if you can really help us break through, then we would be forever in your debt.”
Wang Yang and Lin Ying appeared very excited. They have been trapped in this cultivation level for far too long, and there hasn’t been a single mont when they didn’t think about breaking through. But as ti went on, they lost more and more confidence and felt like they were wasting the Wan Jian House’s energy.
Now that Ling Xian said he could help them, how could they not feel excited?
“Don’t get too excited, stay calm. I am not certain that I can help you two breakthrough.” Ling Xian waved around his hand and made no promises.
After all, this was the first ti he was going to try and help soone’s enlightennt with his sword.
“As long as there is so hope, we are happy. The two of us are getting more and more desperate.” Wang Yang laughed quietly, and his eyes shone with anticipation.
Ling Xian grinned as well. “Then let us begin. You two, watch carefully.”
His eyes flickered, and they turned one white and one black. Imdiately, a ray of murky air poured out and solidified into a bloody red blade.
Because he was not in a battle but was helping others with enlightennt, Ling Xian controlled his speed and let the sword materialize little by little.
As the murky air began to dissipate, a long and bloody sword began to show itself. First, its detailed and graceful hilt, then the sword, before finally, the blade itself. The entire process was extrely mysterious and strange.
Without a doubt, from certain angles, the creation of this sword can help one learn a lot about swords.
The reality was exactly that. The mont the hilt appeared, Wang Yang and Lin Ying were stunned. Then, the two of them quickly turned to themselves and began to attempt an enlightening process.
Their two pairs of eyes stared directly at the Sword of Execution. What reflected upon them were mysterious symbols that normal cultivators wouldn’t understand. They were using them to try and understand the Sword of Execution.
At this, Ling Xian lifted an eyebrow and said to himself, [The Seek Sword Peak sure has a profound understanding of spiritual swords. To try and understand the strength of the sword this way sure is interesting.]
[It seems like I should find an opportunity to cultivate it myself.]
Mumbling, Ling Xian let the Sword of Execution transform itself. He leapt into the sky and landed on the peak of the mountain.
Wang Yang and Lin Ying were already deep in their enlightennt. Unless they grasp onto how the Sword of Execution works, they will not awaken from their enlightennt in a short amount of ti. Therefore, Ling Xian decided to use this ti to deal with the mysterious stone monunt.
“I cannot believe that I would see the stone monunt inside the Imperishable Temple. I wonder if it’s good luck or bad luck.”
Ling Xian softly sighed. He looked at the suspending stone monunt, and he felt a headache. However, since he has seen it, then he has no other options but to give his all and try to deal with it.
Even though the ending for a failure would be tragic – if he succeeds, then the monunt will turn out to be a great fortune rather than trouble.
As for whether or not he can succeed, it will depend on himself, on the monunt, and on the Heavens.
“Though I have much knowledge about this monunt, I have never experienced it myself. All I can do now is to try my best. I sure hope this monunt is a kind one.”
As Ling Xian spoke out, he couldn’t help but laugh at himself. An object sealed by this monunt… how can it be kind?
“I sure am thinking way too optimistically.”
Ling Xian shook his head as he continued to laugh. Then, he erased his grin, and his face turned serious again. This monunt was extrely terrifying. Even for soone as powerful as him, he had to treat it cautiously.
“Let begin. Whether I fail or succeed – I have to try.”
Breathing in deeply, Ling Xian ford a hand seal. He was not planning on breaking the seal of the monunt, he was planning on sealing it again!
Whooosh!
A ray of heavenly light howled and acted as an additional seal that once again surrounded this monunt. Then, countless seals appeared and called out to each other. The power of it all was extrely insane.
Imdiately, terrifying seals roared out and engulfed the monunt and added 30% defensive powers to it.
Seeing this, Ling Xian softly sighed. Thinking that with this seal, he will have nothing to worry about for a while.
“Next, I will have to see whether or not the sealed object is willing to communicate with .”
