Chapter 759: A Surprise Gain

Translator: _Tat_ Editor: Rundi

HOMMMM!

After an earth-splitting rumble, an infinite amount of heavenly light startled the entire volcano!

The Volcano of Demons had erupted. An infinite amount of flames were rolling out like giant angry ocean waves! Next, a loud, crisp sound arose. Though the noise occurred while inside a clamorous environment, it remained very distinct. Like a heavy hammer, it slammed onto Hong Yan Jun Zhu’s heart.

Because that was the noise of the two chains being opened.

Opened?

Opened that easily?

Hong Yan Jun Zhu was stunned. As he stared at the chains that fell off his shoulders, his face was full of disbelief.

Remember that these chains were made out of the Dark Immortal Gold and there were hundreds of arrays set on them, where each and every one of those arrays were set up by a grandmaster!

Therefore, to be able to create a key that unlocks this treasure was considered harder than climbing up to the sky!

That was why Hong Yan Jun Zhu refused to believe that Ling Xian had the ability to unlock this treasure. But now that he had successfully done so, why wouldn’t Hong Yan Jun Zhu be surprised?

But very quickly, he recollected himself and ecstasy replaced his shock.

The chains had been broken open, which meant he has been reborn and was now allowed to leave this cage. Why wouldn’t he be ecstatic?

“Hahahahha, I am finally free!”

With his head held high in the sky, Hong Yan Jun Zhu’s dark hair danced crazily in the wind. His shout echoed throughout the volcano and suppressed all beings!

No longer oppressed by the black chains, he immediately exploded with an angry Qi that moved the mountains. The entire Volcano of Demon erupted under it.

Even Ling Xian couldn’t keep himself still and was forced to step back several steps.

“He truly is an uncalculatable powerhouse. Though he is in his weakened state, his cultivation is still so terrifying!”

Ling Xian stared deadly at Hong Yan Jun Zhu. Based on what he could sense, this man had surpa.s.sed the original level. In other words, this man belonged to the fifth level!

This was still the case even though he had been trapped for thousands of years and was greatly weakened!

“Hahaha, I am finally free. I have waited 3,000 years for this freedom!”

Hong Yan Jun Zhu laughed out loud. His laughter was raw and full of pleasure.

This was normal. For anyone who has been trapped for thousands of years before finally being released would react so uncontrollably happy!

Even if the person was the extremely profound Hong Yan Jun Zhu!

He straightened up. Like a G.o.d who just awakened, he was tall and grand. Though he looks a little weak right now, his heaven reaching spiritual energy was enough to continue to quake the volcano.

Ling Xian quickly found his way to retreat and he had to summon the Aurora Light to defend.

What could he do? Cultivators from the fifth realm were far too powerful. He was at the completion level now, even if he did reach the original level, he wouldn’t be able to handle Hong Yan Jun Zhu’s Qi right now!

“Haha, I am free. I can finally once again control the world and be the man up high!”

Hong Yan Jun Zhu’s face was full of excitement. He continued to let himself laugh and allowed himself to be showered with joy.

However, after getting a sense of himself, he couldn’t help but be a little startled. He mumbled, “I… why is my source of energy so weak? Where is my usual power?”

“That’s normal.”

Ling Xian spoke softly, “You have been trapped here for 3,000 years and your cultivation was sealed by those two chains. Now that you are free, it is so normal for your cultivation level to have fallen.”

“My cultivation level has fallen?”

Hong Yan Jun Zhu had a realization. However, he showed no sign of sadness but continued to smirk, “Oh well. So what it has fallen. Sooner or later, I will be able to climb my way to the peak again!”

“You are Hong Yan Jun Zhu after all, what a broad heart you have,” Ling Xian complimented.

Looking at the excited man, he teased, “I have finally won this bet. Your face has been slapped by me as well.”

“Haha, but you have given me freedom in exchange.”

Hong Yan Jun Zhu laughed brightly. He wasn’t embarra.s.sed by the slap in the face, all he felt was shock.

Shock like never before!

Not even in his dreams could he imagine such a young completion leveled cultivator would be able to unlock his chains and help him escape!

Remember that the chains were made out of Dark Immortal Gold and it had hundreds of arrays set on it. In the entire world, how many people had the ability to open those chains?

Even multi-talented grandmasters may not have the ability.

Yet here, Ling Xian had done it. Just how unbelievable was that?

“I really don’t know how to describe you anymore.”

Hong Yan Jun Zhu stared deadly at the young man with shock in his eyes. “I won’t talk about your amazing talent since you have reached the undefeatable realm for 3 levels and thus your talent isn’t lacking… I never would’ve imagined that you would have profound knowledge with arrays and crafts.”

“If I didn’t have some skill, why would I make such a big promise?” Ling Xian softly grinned. He remained as calm as ever.

This made Hong Yan Jun Zhu’s eyes light up with praise, “I have ruled the world for many years and I have seen many unusual talents, but none of them can be compared to you. Your composed and steady att.i.tude isn’t even something others can compare.”

“You are flattering me.”

Ling Xian softly smiled. His handsome face was bright with happiness.

For one, he had acquired such a powerful supporter. For two, he had opened the chains.

Though this process appeared easy, it was in reality, extremely difficult. Even for him, he had felt greatly troubled. Luckily, he had succeeded.

This gave him a huge sense of achievement. Naturally, he was happy.

“I am not flattering you. I know very well.” Hong Yan Jun Zhu brandished his hand and peeked at Ling Xian. Then, he bowed down.

He bowed all the way down!

To know that bowing shows the greatest respect in the Taoism community. To bow so deeply indicated dense respect. As such a powerhouse, Hong Yan Jun Zhu’s grand gesture impacted Ling Xian greatly.

“Ling Xian, you saved me. This gratefulness is something I will remember forever.”

Hong Yan Jun Zhu’s expression was serious and his tone was steady and strong.

“Hong Yan Jun Zhu, I thought you were a masculine character. I cannot believe you are this emotional.”

Ling Xian softly smiled. “I understand your excitement. There is no need to say more. It’s starting to sound too much and it’s not good.”

“Haha, okay, then I won’t say anymore.”

Hong Yan Jun Zhu laughed out loud and then his right foot tapped onto the ground. At that, the two chains flew towards Ling Xian.

“This thing trapped me for 3,000 years. Today, it is yours.”

Taking over the black chains, Ling Xian couldn’t help but grin.

Though he didn’t know how to use this treasure yet and cannot use it for battles – don’t forget, this treasure is made out of Dark Immortal Gold. A gold that was invaluable!

Even if he doesn’t awaken this material, he can easily melt it and create another undefeatable weapon!

Therefore, why wouldn’t he feel ecstatic?

“My realm in arrays have broken through to the grandmaster level and I have acquired a great helper. Now, I have gained another surprise outside of the previous two points. This trip sure has been worth it.”

Ling Xian smiled in satisfaction. His sole goal for this trip was to save Hong Yan Jun Zhu. Now that he had gained two great things outside of that, he naturally was very satisfied.

“Alright, now let’s talk business.”

Ling Xian placed the chains inside his storage pouch and wiped off his smile. His expression was now very serious.
