Chapter 773
The night was as dark as ink and the moon was hanging high in the sky .
Inside an eerie cave hidden inside a dense forest…
Ling Xian's face was pale white and his eyes were tightly closed . Pea-sized sweat accompanied by dots of red dripped down his chin – truly horrifying .
Ever since he left the Shang Qing Sect, he had been on the run . After escaping for more than 3,000 miles, he could no longer suppress the injuries he sustained and he was forced to stop inside this forest .
What could he do? Though he appears courageous and brave like an undefeatable god of war who could easily defeat all enemies, the reality was that he was deeply wounded inside the ruins . The only reason why he still looked decently ok was that he burned his spirituality and he was basically draining away his life .
Then, he used all his strength to pave out a path and fight bloody battles . Naturally, he made everything worse . Now, he finally could no longer endure .
After all, there were hundreds of completion leveled cultivators and two original leveled cultivators of the beginning stages . To be able to pave out a path by himself and leave so casually was something that was extremely difficult already .
If he wasn't injured at all, then he wouldn't be a person . He would be an undefeatable god!
Sadly, he was miles away from becoming a God . Therefore, why wouldn't he be heavily injured?
Currently, Ling Xian was leaning against the wall of the cave and was slowly inhaling the spirituality of Heaven and Earth . The harmony of their energies was tending his wounds and adjusting his health .
Because he burned up his ancient majestic blood and had killed an original leveled cultivator in a heaven-defying manner, the ancient majestic blood in his body had temporarily fallen asleep . His blood could not heal his wounds right now .
In other words, Ling Xian could only use the spiritual Dan and spiritual energy to tend his wounds . Luckily, he had brewed various Dans while still at the Ao Xian House . This time, he was putting them to good use .
Just like that, time passed by little by little . After about half an hour, his face finally reddened a little and his breathing was no longer as weak as before .
"Phew…"
Breathing out a mouthful of murky air, Ling Xian opened his eyes wide . Though they were somewhat dim, they were full of excitement .
It didn't matter how violent that battle was and it didn't matter how deeply wounded he was . At the very least, he had won .
Yes, though he had to escape in the end, he had truly won . He also won twice . Even the two fifth leveled cultivators from the Shang Qing Sect could not argue against that .
First of all, he had acquired the Soaring Key and completed his original goal . That counted as one win .
Second of all, he paved out a path himself and even though he was surrounded by so many powerhouses, he managed to escape . That counted as his second win .
Don't forget . He was up against the Shang Qing Sect, one of the major forces of Yuezhou!
In the entire Yuezhou, who could start a rampage while on the land of the Shang Qing Sect? And who could so easily suppress all the people and call the Shang Qing Sect "so-so"?
Only him!
In the entire history of the Shang Qing Sect, he was the only person who's been able to do it . He was the only one who could be called heaven-defying!
Therefore, isn't he winning? One could make the claim that he had completely won this battle and he had won it beautifully!
It was the great figure, the Shang Qing Sect, who ended up humiliated . It had lost so utterly and was now without any face!
First, they burned the bridge after crossing it . Then, they refused to keep their promises . And finally, they tried to repay Ling Xian's niceness with hatred . But in the end, Ling Xian had snatched away the few important treasures from the ruins and left at ease . How humiliating was this?
Why wouldn't the Shang Qing Sect be without face now?
After thinking about how Ji Qian Bai and them would look knowing he left, Ling Xian wanted to laugh – laugh loudly . He could already imagine just how colorful the others' expressions were right now .
"No matter what, I have won this battle . Though I have made an enemy of a force as beast as the Shang Qing Sect, I have acquired the Soaring Key . It is worth it . "
Ling Xian's eyes were burning up . He took out the Soaring Key that had already been through many bloody storms from his storage pouch .
The moment this object appeared, it emitted a bright circle of light . If he didn't set up an array to hide the light, everything within a hundred miles would be brightly white right now .
"It is because of you . If you didn't get out of the white jade box so impatiently, nothing would've happened . " Ling Xian scolded the black key .
Though his words were scolding ones, he didn't seem to be blaming the key at all . Instead, he was full of excitement .
It was because it was the Soaring Key!
These simple words were enough to drive everyone in the world crazy!
Nobody in the world knows where this object comes from . They only know that after Heaven and Earth transformed and that after it became a fact that nobody could fly anymore, the key and its legend appeared in the Taoism community .
Legend has it that this object can open the door to the immortal world . No matter what level of cultivation the cultivator was at – even if the person was an ordinary mortal – as long as the door to the immortals was open, then they could live forever .
There were many temptations in the Taoism community - undefeatable forces, controls over others, and beauties of all kind . But the biggest temptation to all was immortality .
This was why since the history of time, there were so many people who chase after this idea like a moth to a flame . It was also why the Soaring Key became such a critical object after it became a fact that nobody can turn into immortals anymore .
Because this key represented a ray of hope!
"I have finally got my hands on you . Though it is only a rumor that you can open the door to immortality, you remain the sole hope for us to become immortals . "
