Chapter 514: Counting the Gains

Translator: _Tat_ Editor: Fish_Creek

Inside the Painting of the Nine Immortals, Ling Xian"s black hair was in disarray. His gaze was threatening and he exuded powerful and divine prowess.

It was energy that belonged to those of the advanced stage of the completion level!

In other words, from this moment on, he was considered a powerhouse of the advanced stage of the completion level!

Such achievement only took Ling Xian two years – a number that was extremely shocking. If this news was pa.s.sed around, countless people would be in shock and in jealousy.

If one calculates starting from the time he began cultivating, the number of years it took him to get here would be even more shocking or even more unbelievable. In the entire world and in the entire history, very few people could"ve achieved it.

What an accomplishment.

"If we calculate it carefully, I have only been on this journey for nine years and I have already achieved so much." Ling Xian softly grinned, "I am a step closer to the original level now that I am in the advanced stage of the completion level. I believe that one day, I will advance to the other level."

His eyes flashed with antic.i.p.ation.

He had high expectations for the day he reached the original level.

"Alright, since I have broken through, it is time to count my gains." Ling Xian softly grinned and finally woke up from the immense joy he was feeling.

He summoned silently and the blemished giant sword and the emerald colored fruit emerged before him.

These two items were acquired by him early in the journey. The former contained the violet divine gold – an item with an astonis.h.i.+ng amount of power. Even though it was cursed and dirty, the sword remains indestructible and powerful.

The reason why Ling Xian has been able to suppress all cultivators and escape safely was because of both of his capabilities and the weight of this sword. In other words, this sword is a valuable treasure. If it comes when the curse on it is lifted, it will become an unprecedented spiritual sword!

The latter item is the legendary spiritual medicine, Fruit of the Emerald Heart. The worthiness of this fruit was immeasurable and impossible to calculate. Even those of the original level would drop their jaw before this treasure.

"These two treasures alone made my trip worth it. The sword in particular, is of great help for me."

Looking at the sword and the fruit, Ling Xian smiled in satisfaction and mumbled to himself, "However, I was only able to defeat those people because they were weak physically. If my enemy is a beast physically, then my method of fighting would"ve been rather useless."

"Let me wait patiently. After I acquire the Holy Spirit Water and break the curse, the true power of the sword will be revealed." The corner of Ling Xian"s lips curled up and antic.i.p.ation flashed across his eyes.

A spiritual sword composed of violet divine gold… even if one thinks with one"s toes, one would know that the sword itself is extremely powerful. Now, before their eyes, this sword is mere metal, but once the curse is lifted, then the sword will for sure s.h.i.+ne!

Ling Xian couldn"t wait for that moment!

Flapping around his sleeve, he placed the fruit inside his storage pouch. Then, he investigated the storage pouch with his Qi to check what other treasures he acquired from the rooms he raided.

The treasures could pile up to make a mountain. Within in it were weapons, spiritual medicines, and instructions for techniques. All the treasures were sitting there, emitting light and s.h.i.+ning.

However, after Ling Xian inspected it with his Qi, he was somewhat disappointed.

None of these treasures were particular extraordinary. They were only considered treasures to the normal cultivators. But to him, they were worthless and could not bring him any excitement.

The acc.u.mulation of these treasures however, amount to a very high amount. Even the most powerful people with the wealthiest background probably cannot dish out this many treasures at once.

Therefore, despite Ling Xian"s tiny disappointment, he didn"t feel that strongly about how everything turned out.

After all, the value of all this together is a great gain.

"Nothing really makes my eyes widen, but it"s good enough. Once I sell all this, I can buy other objects that are useful to me."

Ling Xian beamed and his Qi sensed the three golden pages. His face flushed.

He was on the verge of death and fought against six dominating Heaven"s Favorites. The reason behind all this was to acquire these three pages. In other words, to get his hands on these books, he fought until he was near death and gave it his all.

Now that these three golden pages were peacefully resting in his storage pouch, how could he not feel satisfied?

"The Divine Book of Genesis was hard to acquire. Even the top notch talents would fight to death for just one page of it."

Staring at the book that was emitting with mysteriousness, Ling Xian"s eyes turned heated, "I was able to get three pages at once – that is such great luck."

"Adding these three to the one I already have, I have four pages in total. Though collecting all 3,000 is an unrealistic dream, having 4 is not an easy feat. I bet even the best of the best do not have as many pages as I do."

Ling Xian revealed a satisfied beam.

Four pages of the Divine Book of Genesis, this is a number that is astonis.h.i.+ng. When someone acquires one, one is considered to be extremely lucky. For him to have been able to acquire four was an unbelievable even.

In the entire world, n.o.body has acquired four pages of this book!

If this news gets out, then the entire cultivation community would go insane. The different forces would even send a.s.sa.s.sins to kill Ling Xian!

What could they do? Even one page of the book is immeasurable in value, let alone having four? If this news gets pa.s.sed around, even those who think with their toes would be shocked.

They would try to kill and take the treasure!

Ling Xian realized this and erased his smile, "Though the book is nice, it is also troublesome. Those who survived the Temple know I have acquired the pages. If they declare war against me, I will not have an easy time."

Thinking about this made him frown and made his head hurt.

After all, Ling Xian was just a human, not an omnipotent G.o.d. If Yunzhou found out, he will be in much trouble.

He knew that he didn"t possess enough ability to fight against all cultivators in Yunzhou.

"Whatever, thinking about this is useless. If enemies come, I will defend, if a tsunami comes, I will dig a hole and hide. No matter what, I will not give up on these pages."

Ling Xian shook his head and chased out these troubling thoughts. He decided to take a look at the book and find out which great paths were taught by the book.

However, just as he was about to enlighten himself, he decided against it.

Since he started healing himself, three months have pa.s.sed. In other words, the Imperishable Temple was about to close its doors. If he was deep in thoughts when the Temple shut down, he will be trapped forever.

Before arriving, Dao Wu Ji had warned him to not miss the timing of activation and deactivation. n.o.body can escape the Imperishable Temple once it disappears from the mortal world. Unless one waits till the next time it activates.

It will be at least 50 years when it activates again. If he gets trapped, he would"ve wasted 50 years of time. This is something Ling Xian would not agree to no matter what.

"Whatever, I will wait till I get back to the Wan Jian House. After all, the pages are under my possession, I can use them whenever."

Shaking his head, Ling Xian got rid of his thoughts and exited out of the Painting of the Nine Immortals.

He is going to walk around the Imperishable Temple before it closes, to see what other fortunes he may encounter.
