Chapter 678: The Reveal of Identity

Translator: _Tat_  Editor: Rundi

On the field, Ling Xian wore all white and stood tall and proud inside the 756th room. He shone like the undying Sun, emitting a dizzying amount of light that lit up all nine levels of heaven and all 10 levels of hell.

Because he was now standing in the last room, which meant he had won the winning title for the Path of Arrays!

This was why, before everyone’s eyes, he was shining for miles and was incomparably bright!

With Ta Ba Feng as his juxtaposition, Ling Xian’s shine was even more blinding. It was as if he was the only being in the world who was emitting light and was attracting everyone’s gaze.

Who was Ta Ba Feng?

He was the one in a million talented Heaven’s Favorite who’s name was well known in Yuezhou!

First, Ling Xian caught up to him in the competition. Then, he fell so far behind. The gap between them was obvious and large.

Especially now, Ling Xian was standing inside the last room while Ta Ba Feng stood inside the 530th. What did this represent?

It meant he had been crushed by Ling Xian. Utterly and absolutely crushed!

Without a doubt, this was something unbelievable! It was something nobody could believe!

Yet things just ended up happening this way. No matter how difficult it was to believe, they had to believe it!

What could they do? Ling Xian was just way too insane.

Even the top talent of Yuezhou… before him, could only get crushed!

Right now, Ling Xian was standing proudly in the last room. Like the Sun high in the sky, he was lighting up everything around him.

And Ta Ba Feng was standing in the 530th room. Like a clown, he accented Ling Xian’s glory. Or in other words, all other competitors were there for that effect.

It was as if their entire existence only had one meaning – to accent Ling Xian’s glory.

What could they do? This was what competition is. Other than the one with the winning title, even those in second or in third, cannot achieve as much fame as the winner.

The situation on hand was exactly like that.

Only Ling Xian will be able to step into the sky, accept everyone’s cheers, and acquire the gazes of everyone!

“Winner! A person whose appearance was sudden and uncalled for had won the Competition of the Path of Array!”

“Unbelievable! I cannot believe the winner, in the end, didn’t turn out to be Ta Ba Feng. This has gone against everyone in Shang Qing’s expectation!”

“Yeah, but he truly deserved this winning title. If his terrifying capabilities don’t earn him the winning title, then nobody in the entire world deserves to be the winner.”

“That’s right. He crushed even Ta Ba Feng, the top talent of Yuezhou. This person’s array abilities are truly terrifying and impossible to predict!”

Everyone chimed in. As they cheered for Ling Xian’s win, they also exclaimed over his abilities.

Even the elders were exclaiming endlessly. They all thought, in the beginning, that Ta Ba Feng would end up winning. Because that person’s array knowledge far surpassed every other competitor.

Yet nobody expected someone like Ling Xian to come out of nowhere… he was such an aggressive character who used his true abilities to win the title.

This made Ta Ba Feng tighten his fists as he stared deadly at Ling Xian with unwillingness.

However, he couldn’t say anything. Because Ling Xian didn’t cheat. He used his true capabilities to defeat him.

He also knew very well that the distance between him and Ling Xian was far too giant. To say he was utterly defeated would not be an exaggeration.

Therefore, no matter how unwilling he was, he had to swallow it!

“Aye, how can there be someone so terrifying.” Ta Ba Feng bitterly smiled. Very quickly, however, his eyes shone with a burning passion.

“However, sooner or later, I will catch up to where you are.”

“The winner title is finally mine.”

Hearing all the exclaims and cheers from the outside world, Ling Xian revealed a faint grin. He was very happy with this result.

Not only did this mean he now had 50,000 more contribution points in his pouch, but it also meant he got an extra day to spend at the Cliff of Enlightenment. Both rewards were items countless cultivators lusted after. Why wouldn’t he be satisfied?

“This is the third winning title. Next, it’s time to go to the fourth peak.”

Ling Xian’s smile remained on his face as his gaze shifted to the clouds. He smiled, “Leader of the Path of Array, you have been watching for a while. Isn’t it time to show yourself?”

The Leader of the Path of Array?

This important character was visiting personally?

Everyone was startled, feeling it a bit hard to believe.

After all, the Leader of the Path was one of the most important management characters in the Shang Qing Sect. They don’t show themselves easily. Even if they do choose to hide, how could they be so easily spotted by a mere young pupil?

At this second, people fell into another state of disbelief as they exclaimed over Ling Xian’s sensitivity.

“Young man, you sure are sharp.”

A round of loud laughter arose. The Leader of the Path of Array finally revealed himself. His white robe fluttered in the wind, making him look like a sage.

The moment he appeared, everyone froze for a second before shouting out in unison, “It is an honor to meet the Leader.”

“No need for that.”

The Leader waved his hand and glanced at Ling Xian. He then said something that silenced the entire field.

“Xian Ling, it is no wonder that you are known as the multi-talented Heaven’s Favorite. Even I am astonished by what you’ve done.”

After this statement, the entire field was in silence.

Because for one, the leader said even he was shocked by Ling Xian. For two, the name he said was one that astonished everyone.

In the entire Shang Qing Sect, almost everyone knew this name. The majority of the cultivators could name this person’s achievements.

He had 200 perfectly ranked missions, solved problems that nobody could solve for 10 years, disappeared for 10 years… all these stories were imprinted on everyone’s heart.

This was why everyone’s face was flashing with disbelief when the name Xian Ling was said.

“Xian Ling? Could it be, that this insanely young person is the legendary Master Xian Ling?”

“I guess so. In the entire Shang Qing Sect, other than the Leader and that Master, who else could surpass Ta Ba Feng?”

“That is so hard to believe. The legendary multi-talented Master Xian is someone so young?”

Everyone was shouting in awe. Though their faces showed shock, their hearts were starting to believe.

First, it was because the statement came from the leader. For two, it was because of Ling Xian’s scary alchemy skills.

If Ling Xian announced his own name first, then people 100% wouldn’t believe him. Just like what happened to the elders at the other two paths – people would think that they were merely sharing the same name. Because other than those who already knew, everyone thought Xian Ling was a grey-haired elder.

However, if he displayed his insane array skills first, then it would be easier for people to believe that he was who he said he was.

In other words, he had to act first.

Therefore, once everyone accepted this shocking event, all eyes shifted to Ling Xian. There was shock, admiration, and respect.

“Humans are strange animals. If I had said my name first, then none of them would believe me. But after I displayed my insane array capabilities, they would think of the possibility of me being the Master even without me mentioning it.”

Ling Xian chuckled and waved his hand at the Leader of the Path of Array, “Leader, please protect my rewards for me for now. After I deal with some of my problems, I will go take them from you.”

Then, in front of everyone’s shocked gaze. He disappeared right where he stood.

Leaving behind a group of confused people.
