Chapter 865: Invitation

Under the giant Sun, in midair.

Ling Xian’s robe was white like snow and his temperament was extraordinary. Similar to a real immortal, he appeared to be out of the world while looking like he could rule the world.

Everyone there felt respect grow in their hearts. Other than admiration in their eyes, there only remained the same sense of reverence that they feel towards Gods.

The female cultivators in particular, were staring at Ling Xian without blinking. Their eyes were exploding with color.

“I caused such a big mess…”

Sensing the way everyone was looking at him, Ling Xian softly smiled. He felt somewhat happy and somewhat fortunate.

At first, his breaking through speed was extremely fast and extremely easy. Though to others, the levels were difficult, to him, they were nothing.

But when he was at the eighth level, he felt an extremely heavy pressure. At the last round especially, he barely escaped death.

Yes, he almost died there.

Because in the last round, he was up against the silhouettes of nine original leveled powerhouses who were at the peak. That battle was the most powerful battle he’s ever had to experience and also the most dangerous.

Nine cultivators at the peak of the original level!

Though they were mere illusions and were fundamentally different than those with real physical bodies, each one of them could easily kill anyone from the original level. They were definitely undefeatable at their own level.

If it weren’t for Ling Xian’s insane physique that allowed him to endure some time and resulted in the silhouettes fading, he would’ve died inside the Heavenly Palace.

After he had gone through the Heavenly Place, the main hall of the place surged with a wave of powerfulness that healed his injuries. Or else he wouldn’t even have the strength to leave the Palace.

What could he do? That battle was far too difficult. He was able to endure it but anyone else would’ve been killed a long time ago.

This made Ling Xian realize finally why in tens and thousands of years, only so many selective few passed the Heavenly Palace. The reason was none other than how treacherous it is, and how difficult it is!

Luckily for him, after he stretched himself to break though the eighth level, he regained his strength after the last round. Not only did he feel fortunate, he also realized just how capable he was.

To fight against nine was impossible, but to fight against two or three was completely doable!

This could already be considered flawless capability!

This was why Ling Xian was happy. He didn’t think that after his breakthrough, he was as strong as he is now.

He also realized now that without Qi, he could put up a fight against real Heaven’s Favorites but in the end, he still cannot walk all the way to the end of the original level.

This made his desire to find the Nirvana Fountain increase, and he so very much wanted his Qi to awaken.

“What a phoenix amongst a group of people. He is a heaven-defying Heaven’s Favorite.”

An elder from the Library of Fortune was full of awe. “If I remember correctly, the last round was to fight against nine people of the same level as the candidate. After holding them off for 30 minutes, one is considered to have passed.”

“Yes, nine powerhouses of the same level… this battling capability is without a doubt… insane.”

“Exactly. I am afraid he is even comparable to Fairy Wu.”

“In terms of the Heavenly Palace, he truly is on par with Fairy Wu. However, battling one on one, he may not yet be her opponent.”

“That’s true. Fairy Wu is already powerful herself. After so many years of training, she has reached the ultimate peak of the original level!”

The elders all discussed and all agreed that while Ling Xian’s actions were unbelievable, he cannot necessarily be Fairy Wu’s opponent right now.

After all, the fact that he has no Qi was something these powerful elders could all see. Fairy Wu’s powerfulness was something that was commonly agreed on!

“But honestly, how did this fella train? To be able to reach the peak of the original level is far too shocking.”

The vice dean of the Library exclaimed, “Even for Ning Cheng, she only reached the advanced stage of the original level after we gave her all our resources and trained her.”

“Haha, the more powerful this guy is the better. The Library can provide some training and he will be able to become the second Fairy Wu!”

The elder laughed out loud, “Vice dean, why don’t you go up there and invite him to the Library?”

“Haha, I will right now.”

The vice dean stroke his beard and in a flash, appeared before Ling Xian.

Against a Heaven’s Favorite who just got through all levels of the Heavenly Palace, nobody, even the Library of Fortune, cannot maintain their calmness. After all, they have been waiting for this to happen for so many years and to have finally found someone who is comparable to Fairy Wu, naturally they want to get him on their side.

When this man arrived before Ling Xian, everyone expressed their jealousy. They knew that they were planning on inviting him to the Library of Fortune.

“I wonder who you are?”

Sensing the profoundness of the man before him, Ling Xian raised an eyebrow. He knew that this person was at least of the fifth level.

“I am Wu Dao Zi, a vice dean of the Library of Fortune.” The old man looked at Ling Xian with a smile. He seemed to be full of compliments and happiness.

“Oh, vice dean Wu.”

Ling Xian paid his respect, “I wonder what you are here for?”

“Haha, I am naturally inviting you to the Library of Fortune.”

Wu Dao Zi laughed brightly. “You passed all levels of the Heavenly Palace and earned yourself the right to join the Library of Fortune.”

Of course.

Ling Xian thought in silence. He shook his head with a smile, and declined, “Sorry, I am here to test myself, not to join the Library of Fortune.”

After those words, the smile on the Elder’s face froze. The entire area silenced as well.

All eyes turned to concentrate on Ling Xian. They were full of disbelief.

Re… rejected?

What! This is one of the most powerful forces in Tianzhou!

Everyone was full of shock. They couldn’t believe Ling Xian rejected the Library of Fortune.

“That’s okay. Let me tell you first the perks of joining the Library of Fortune.”

The elder regained himself, he thought Ling Xian was unhappy over the fact that he wasn’t receiving any benefits. Therefore, he smiled and said, “As long as you enter the Library of Fortune, you will be considered a direct descendant and you will enjoy the same resources Fairy Wu has.”

“All holy grounds of the Library will be open to you. Other than the greatest technique, you can practice anything.”

The elder spoke of points that would be hard to decline for anyone. Everyone there was watching with heated gazes and their breathing became hasty.

However, Ling Xian’s expression was calm and he didn’t even move.

If the Library of Fortune contained the Nirvana Fountain of Real Phoenixes, then he would join without a second word. But the Library of Fortune didn’t have that so to him, it wasn’t that tempting.

In terms of masters, he had five real immortals who’s got his back, and there will be four more. In terms of techniques, he had the Eyes of Execution and Disorder Conquering Fists. Learning more techniques from the Library of Fortune would mean nothing to him.

Plus, he wasn’t granted access to the highest level of inheritance.

Most importantly, he had his master and he had chosen his path. He didn’t want to betray any of that.

“What about it, you are reconsidering now after hearing these right?”

The elder smiled and stared at Ling Xian. His face was full of determination, “Now, you can tell me. Are you willing to enter the Library of Fortune?”

At those words, everyone was looking convinced that there was no way Ling Xian would decline such enticing offers.

Yet what happened the next second brought everyone into shock.

“I am sorry. I have a Master and I cannot enter the Library of Fortune.”

Ling Xian’s expression was calm and his words were soft. However, anyone could hear from his tone that he allowed no questions.
