Zi Yao.

The connective part between the hilt and the blade carved out these two small characters, startling Ling Xian.

“Zi Yao... looks like that is this sword’s name.”

Ling Xian softly smiled. He was very satisfied with this sharp sword and was very satisfied with this name.

He casually swirled around the sword to get a sense of this heavenly sword’s powerfulness. His eyes flashed with astonishment.

It was made out of Purple Immortal Gold after all. He could sense that any cultivator at the peak of the completion level could use this power to fight masterfully. Those cultivators could even threaten him!

Remember that he was a powerhouse of the undefeatable realm and he could defeat all enemies in the completion level. Yet if someone has this sword, they could threaten him. Just how powerful was this sword?

“It is no wonder it is composed out of the Purple Immortal Gold. Everything about this sword is perfection. It is an exceedingly beautiful sword!”

Ling Xian revealed a shocked face. His right hand glided across the long sword, and then he flicked it.

Instantly, Zi Yao made a crisp noise, similar to a pearl hitting a jade plate or rushing water pushing against rocks. The sound was long and clear.

“Just follow me from now on. Don’t worry, I will never let you down.”

Ling Xian smiled faintly and his starry eyes were full of determination, “I will take you on an undefeatable path. I will block all killers and slay all those who stand in my way.”

At those words, Zi Yao began shone. It was as if it had felt his determination and was happy about it.

At this, Ling Xian’s smile widened. He had already felt that this sword was spiritual. Now that it was exuding bright light, his guess was confirmed.

“Just like the Heaven Shadowing Array, all these objects obtained souls. This truly is an exceptional good sword.”

Ling Xian looked at the long purple sword in his hand and grinned. “I will take you to conquer the world. I will take you with me as I become undefeatable.”

Whoooosh!

Zi Yao’s light turned even more blinding and chirping sounds emerged, as if it was expressing its excitement.

“Very well. There will come a day when I will carry you to the top of the world and peer down onto the mortals.”

Ling Xian’s stare was determined and his voice was full of resolution.

This was his dream – a dream that he absolutely had to achieve in this life time. No matter how treacherous the path before him was or how unstoppable the storms were, he would overcome all these obstacles and he would get to the peak.

“So what the future is full of danger? I, Ling Xian, am fearless.”

Ling Xian’s smile was bright. The heavenly sword, Zi Yao, echoed his excitement and expressed its willingness to follow him to the top of the world.

Then, his smile slowly disappeared. He began to ponder about what was going to happen next.

Stepping to the undefeatable realm was an unreachable dream. It required him to slowly walk forward step by step. Therefore, he had to think about how to take his next steps.

The Shang Qing Sect’s fortune is of utmost importance because it is linked to the power composition of the future, so there was no way he was going to give that up. Though that fortune is supposedly without an owner, it ended up being on the Shang Qing Sect’s land.

This sect is also Yuezhou’s superpower with insane capabilities. Therefore, Ling Xian had to be very cautious.

One, he could stealthily take that fortune without making a sound. That way, he would be able to leave by himself without causing any chaos. Two, he might be uncareful and expose himself. If that happens, he would get in trouble. Or worse... he would be in a crisis.

The Shang Qing Sect was insanely powerful. It wasn’t just him now. Even if he does become an original leveled cultivator, he wouldn’t be able to defend against them one on one.

But that fortune could impact the power distribution of the future, so he cannot give it up no matter what. Therefore, Ling Xian had to be prepared for all situations in order to ensure that he can retreat fully by himself.

“Since I have helped the Array of the Astonished Gods, the Sect owes me a favor. If I run into trouble, they shouldn’t just sit and do nothing.”

Ling Xian frowned and thought about all the resources he could use. He then continued, “There’s also the man who is trapped inside the Volcano of Demons. Though I don’t really know who he is, he is some character with great powers.”

“It looks like I have to visit the Volcano of Demons first to save him.”

Ling Xian’s brows were tightly knotted as he continued to mutter to himself, “But those two alone cannot really guarantee that I can get away safely. I have to plan this well and use all the resources I have access to.”

“Sadly, I do not know many powerhouses in Yuezhou. The people I do know are only acquaintances. There is no way they would come and help me.”

Sighing, Ling Xian’s eyes flickered as he thought of his backup plans.

Though there was always the possibility that the Shang Qing Sect will never discover that he took the fortune. However, it was better to be safe than sorry. Therefore, he had to prepare himself in case the Shang Qing Sect surrounds him and he loses his life, “Luckily, Yu Wu Xiu is still bound by me. She is still a saint to the Shang Qing Sect and she can be of great help to me.”

The corner of Ling Xian’s lips curled up. “Perhaps I can carefully steal away the fortune. After all, right now, nobody knows of that fortune and I can guard it.”

As he spoke, he made up his mind. He decided to hurry up and get to the Shang Qing Sect. First, he will save that mysterious man, then, he will snatch that fortune.

“Then it’s decided. Let us go. The Shang Qing Sect first.”

Anticipation flashed across Ling Xian’s eyes. He placed Zi Yao into his storage pouch and then marched out of his little garden.

The moment he stepped outside, he felt two opposing forces that made him frown.

“Hmmm? One force belongs to Hua Wan Yue. The other... seems familiar as well. Who is it?”

Ling Xian frowned. He felt like he recognizes this Qi, but he cannot remember it.

This excited him. Because he could clearly sense the opposition in the two forces and how they were about to start a great war.

“Interesting. A battle between two original leveled cultivators is not one I can miss.”

Grinning, Ling Xian made his move and headed towards the source of the energy.

Before long, he arrived at the battleground. He saw more than 10 silhouettes on the ground. They were all completion leveled cultivators and all of them were looking nervously into the sky.

Therefore, two silhouettes were standing apart and facing each other. Both of them were emitting a shocking amount of Qi that fueled the air of aggression.

One of them was wearing a light yellow dress with her hair pinned up. She looked graceful and proper.

It was the City of Flowers leader, Hua Wan Yue.

The other was a wearing a black robe with his hair down. His eyes looked as profound as the deep sea. He stood there like the reincarnation of a demon and was exuding nothing but terror.

Behind him, a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood appeared. Though it was merely an illusion, it looked very real. Though Ling Xian was looking from afar, he could even feel the bone piercing coldness.

This made him frown and he was surprised at this. What surprised him even more though, was the man standing across from Hua Wan Yue.

“That man... is the demon?”

Ling Xian was a little startled at this. After he confirmed that the man was without a doubt, the demon he once encountered, he couldn’t help but chuckle.

That year, after he killed the foreign kind’s Heaven’s Favorite, he angered the three different foreign kind forces and he was forced to leave his home.

After that war, the demon disappeared without a trace as well. He didn’t think that he would run into him here.

“I cannot believe I would meet you again here...”

Ling Xian had a faint grin on his lips as he stared at the horrifying demon’s silhouette, interest flashed across his eyes.
