Chapter 606: Valiant
Translator: _Tat_ Editor: Rundi
In midair, Ling Xian’s black hair softly tussled in the wind and his robe followed. He appeared like the descendant of a God with the vigor to surpass all nine levels of heaven.
Especially since he had just crushed the God’s Trial with his fists, to others, he had the demeanor of an undefeatable god, someone who could destroy the mountains and the oceans.
All gazes were fixated on him, full of disbelief.
It was the God’s Trial! Though it was one of the weaker ones triggered by an alchemy accomplishment, it was a level two God’s Trial with the last punch being of the third level!
Honestly speaking, everyone knew very well that if they ever encountered the same leveled God’s Trial, then only death would await them. Even Fu Di and Shen Xian, these two omnipotent figures, could not make the promise that they would survive a God’s Trial.
Yet Ling Xian had crushed it. How unbelievable was this?
How dominating was this?!
Everyone was full of shock as they stared at the skinny silhouette in white. A few words flashed across their brains.
The descendant of a real God!
Yes, to describe Ling Xian’s abilities with these words was not an overestimation.
The way he had crushed the God’s Trials with his Immortal Fists have displayed his insane capabilities and put him up to par with a real immortal. Of course, this was merely a metaphor. After all, there were no real immortals in this world today. As to whether or not he could really compare himself to a true God, nobody could really testify.
However, to everyone who were at the scene, Ling Xian, at this moment, was the reincarnation of a real immortal and was utterly undefeatable!
“This is truly heaven-defying! Though that was one of the weaker God’s Trial, the last strike was red lightning! It was powerful enough to kill a Heaven’s Favorite at the peak of the completion level. Yet all those attacks were diminished by Ling Xian. How unbelievable!”
“That’s right. He must be a completion leveled cultivator of the undefeatable realm. Or else he cannot achieve such powerfulness at the completion level.”
“To have used fists to conquer the God’s Trial. This man’s battling capabilities sure is terrifying!”
“That’s right. His capabilities are of the same level as a real immortal.”
Everyone chimed in, their voices full of shock and awe.
Whether it was the people from the external world or those inside the Realm of Alchemy, everyone was boiling. They were all shocked by Ling Xian’s actions to an extreme of no return.
Even to the omnipotent Fu Di and Shen Xian, a trace of shock flashed across their eyes. They couldn’t believe that Ling Xian was so insane with cultivation on top of being a genius alchemist.
Fu Di especially was full of admiration and was considering taking in Ling Xian as his apprentice.
“Eh?”
After a soft gasp, Yun Jian checked out Fu Di and grinned, “Fu Di, perhaps you are thinking of taking Ling Xian in as your apprentice?”
“That’s right.”
Fu Di admitted it openly, “His age, his mentality, his capabilities, all of these qualities are enough to be a direct apprentice of mine.”
“That’s right. For you to have that thought is normal. Ling Xian is an excellent cultivator, he qualifies to be the apprentice of someone great.”
Yun Jian nodded and exclaimed, “I wonder where he came from. Out of the entire young generation in Yuezhou, perhaps only a few can try and outcompete him.”
“Exactly.”
Fu Di softly sighed and said in regret, “It is also a pity that based on his Qi, it is obvious that he cannot follow my cultivation path.”
“You are on a path of duality. You have the kindness of a Buddha and the dominance of an emperor. He truly isn’t suited for it.”
Yun Jian nodded and an unusual look flashed across his eyes. He mumbled, “On the contrary, he is more suited to follow my Xiao Yao Path.”
“Oh?”
Fu Di faintly grinned, “Are you wavering as well?”
“Against such a flawless piece of jade, everyone would wave.”
Yun Jian faintly grinned and teased, “Luckily only you and I are here today. If those monsters who are thirsty for apprentices are here, they would’ve kidnapped him a while ago, regardless whether he already has a master or not.”
“That’s true. Pity though, his path has already somewhat been carved. It isn’t right for him to follow me.” Fu Di stared at the proud silhouette and pity filled his eyes.
If the cultivation path he had followed suits Ling Xian, then he would’ve rushed up there and snatched him a long time ago.
Zhe Xian’s eyes were flickering with regret. Though the path he follows suits Ling Xian well, he knew that such an excellent pupil for sure already has had a master. Therefore, he gave up on the idea of admitting him as his own apprentice.
Just as the two of them were thinking this through, Ling Xian, inside the Realm of Alchemy, coughed twice and blood splattered out.
Though he had survived the God’s Trial, it was still the God’s Trial that nobody could feel emotionless against. He was somewhat wounded, which was normal.
His coughing just now did not lessen anyone’s respect towards him. Instead, it made him appear more human. Or else everyone here would be questioning whether or not that God’s Trial was real.
After all, God’s Trial was of pure terror and was deemed to be impossible to defend against. Even if a real immortal was here, he or she would not be able to go through it harmlessly. Ling Xian had defeated it was already something impossible to imagine.
“It seems like I have grown a lot since the last time. This once again proves the benefits of being in the undefeatable realm.” Ling Xian revealed a soft smile, very satisfied with the result.
He was merely at the advanced stage of the completion level and had some way to go until he was truly at the undefeatable realm of the completion level. The reason why he was able to crush the God’s Trial was that he leveled up while at the undefeatable realm.
Therefore, he silently made the decision that he must get himself to the undefeatable realm of the completion level. It was the only way for him to strengthen his foundation and have undefeatable power in the future!
“You truly are a multi-talented Heaven’s Favorite.”
Cao Clan Leader hopped before Ling Xian and praised with a smile, “Not only are you extremely talented in alchemy, your capabilities are also admirable.”
“You are flattering me.” Ling Xian brandished his hand. It was a statement he said to be humble, but to everyone else, it was extremely shocking.
“Alchemy is a skill I acquired by practicing it during my free time. Cultivation is what I have been focused on.”
What?
Alchemy was only practiced by you when you had the free time?
What the f!ck! How insane are you?
Hong Zhuang Luo and all others cried tearlessly. He was able to make a perfect Dan when he only practiced alchemy when he had the free time? If he had focused on alchemy, what kind of result would he have achieved?
To know that everyone else spent most of their time on alchemy. Now that Ling Xian was speaking in such a manner, how could they not feel like they had failed?
Even the Clan Leaders were speechless and they couldn’t find the right words to describe that insane person.
Feeling everyone’s lack of words, Ling Xian scratched his head. He didn’t think he had said anything wrong. It was true that he had never spent that long on alchemy.
Looking at this confused visage, Hong Zhuang Luo and others were getting more and more speechless. They wanted to teach him a lesson, but once they remembered the capabilities he displayed, all their bad thoughts disappeared.
Ling Xian was so strong. Even if they attacked him all at the same time, they would still get killed within a second.
“Ehem, ehem, you young fella sure makes me uncertain what more I can say.” The Cao Clan Leader dry coughed a few times. Even after thinking for a long time, he still couldn’t find the right words to describe Ling Xian.
Then, he erased his grin and said in a serious tone, “Young man, now that you have won the gathering of the alchemists, then it’s time to get you your reward.”
“Reward?”
High expectation flashed across Ling Xian’s eyes. The gathering of alchemists was the most important gathering in Yuezhou for the young generation. The reward definitely wouldn’t be too bad.
