Chapter 897: Cold Mocking and Heated Sneering

The Sun was hanging high in the sky, shedding light onto the Cliff of Treasure Division.

Ling Xian walked in giant steps and walked with his head held high. His confident stance truly was snatching over others’ hearts.

He really wanted to try and see just what kind of tests were behind these doors. And after successfully passing them, what kind of treasures will he acquire?

Just as he walked on, silhouettes began to get flung out from the doors. Without exception, their faces were pale and their robes were dyed with blood.

Su Li Yu, the seven-headed serpent, Ye Xiao Yao and others were all amongst the group. They too, like the Goddess of Battles, all failed before the seventh black door. Against the three doors of alchemy, crafts, and arrays, they were powerless.

After all, they were Heaven’s Favorites with cultivation. They knew nothing about the three professions, not even a little.

But they were lucky. At the very least, they came out alive. The majority of the people were no longer breathing by the time they were pushed out.

Remember that while those who died are not the strongest Heaven’s Favorites, they were at least somewhat famous original leveled cultivators. Even so, they exited lying down. It was obvious how cruel the punishment for failing is. However, this also made it clear just how capable Su Li Yu and others were. Though they failed, they were so capable that they survived the punishments for failing!

“Interesting. Everyone failed.”

Looking at the exhausted Heaven’s Favorites, Ling Xian revealed a soft smile. His anticipation increased.

Seeing him made Su Li Yu and others frown. They didn’t say anything but merely silently treated their own wounds.

However, the three pureblood noble kinds had a dim expression. They didn’t look at Ling Xian with niceness.

Ling Xian chuckled at this and taunted, “What? You want to provoke me with your current state?”

“You!”

The seven-headed serpent was enraged. But remembering how it was heavily wounded, it knew that it was no opponent of Ling Xian’s even without the Qi Inhibition Board. He suppressed his anger.

The Howling Sky Tiger and the Canine of Hell did the same.

They were fully aware that this situation wasn’t favorable for them to declare war against Ling Xian. Therefore, the three beasts could only suppress their anger and walk to the side.

Ling Xian smiled at this. All of his interest was placed on the 10 doors right now. He was far too lazy to pay attention to those beasts.

Then, he walked forward to the first black door.

When he arrived, an undeniable force unleashed and sucked him in.

Everyone was a little startled at this. They didn’t think that after the Goddess of Battles and other Heaven’s Favorites have failed, someone would have the guts to enter.

Was he confident that he can make it through the tests?

Or was he confident that he can survive this like Su Li Yu and others did?

Everyone was uncertain and guessed silently.

As for the three pureblood noble kinds, they began to mock.

“You moron who overestimate yourself. I bet he will be shut out after just several tests.”

“Haha, impossible. He will walk in and exit out lying down.”

“You are right. He is merely an ant. I want to watch how he dies.”

The canine of hell sneered. He took out a heavenly and sparkly mirror. Then, a ray of light reflected off the black door.

Then, Ling Xian’s reflection appeared onto the mirror and to everyone’s eyes.

“Eh? It’s the Mirror of Heavenly Reflection… though this mirror cannot tell information such as a cultivator’s level of capability, it’s perfect for a situation like this.”

“Yeah, I want to see just what the tests are behind those doors.”

“Interesting. Now we can see from the mirror how that man gets through all the levels.”

Everyone chimed in. Even the Goddess of Battles couldn’t help but look over and stare at the moving silhouette.

“Hehe, I want everyone here to watch how you die.”

The canine of hell laughed. He was certain that without Qi, Ling Xian will fail the test of technique.

This was why he took out his Mirror of Heavenly Reflection. He wanted the world to laugh at Ling Xian.

But how sensitive was Ling Xian?

Don’t forget, he was at the highest level of the original level. He instantly felt something watching him.

His eyes glazed over in anger.

“Someone’s snooping. It must be the noble kind.”

Ling Xian’s expression was cold. Though he knows the trick that’s being played on him won’t show his secrets and his different abilities, it remained a violation of privacy. Why wouldn’t he have a desire to kill right now?

When his glare was reflected onto the mirror, everyone who was looking at the mirror shuddered. They felt a violent wave of fear.

The canine of hell, in particular, showed signs of utter fright and felt cold all over.

After remembering how even if Ling Xian survives, he will be heavily wounded, his fear disappeared. Contempt replaced it.

“Young fella, I sure want to see… you who cannot pass the test of the technique… what you can possibly do to fight against me?”

The canine of hell was unwelcoming. Other than killer’s intent, there was disdain.

“No matter who you are, after I get out of here, I will kill you first.”

Ling Xian’s expression was cold. After making up his mind to kill this person, he no longer thought about it and focused on what was before him.

It wasn’t big there. No different than an ordinary family’s house. There was no decors around and it was very empty.

“The first door tests the meditational level’s battling abilities. Does it mean… it will restrict my Qi to the meditational level?”

Remembering the Goddess of Battles’ introduction, Ling Xian frowned. He was just feeling confused when he felt a strange power wrap around him.

His appearance didn’t change, but his height and physical abilities returned to when he was 15 years old.

That year, he was at the undefeatable realm of the meditational stage. His desire to fight could kill two foundational leveled cultivators at once!

“The power of time has turned me into the peak of the meditational level.”

Mumbling, Ling Xian suddenly realized that he could use his Qi now. However, he was stuck at the undefeatable realm of the meditational level.

Based on his guess, the reason why he can use his Qi is because of the gravitational warp of this land. When he goes to the next test, he will return to normal.

“What an interesting place.”

The corner of Ling Xian’s lips curled up and he adjusted to his meditational Qi. Then, he focused on what was straight ahead.

There, murky air was transforming into silhouettes that were materializing and emitting Qi at the undefeatable realm of the meditational level!

It was obvious that this test was to try and defeat the incomer and test the capability of the incomer. If one never reached the undefeatable realm of the meditational level, then there was no way one can pass this round.

“After I defeat this person, I can pass this round.”

Ling Xian smiled. His gaze turned determined, “If that’s the case, then let’s battle.”

Just then, his Inner Eyes revealed themselves and a blood dyed demon sword materialized.

At once, energy arose to the sky and killer’s intent exploded.

At the same time, the silhouette also made its move. Undefeatable energy from the meditational level erupted and headed towards Ling Xian.

He was powerful, but Ling Xian was better. He was truly at the undefeatable realm of the meditation level!

Whoosh!

Ling Xian’s wrist snapped and a sword ray howled out. Before everyone’s astonished gaze, it shredded the silhouette into pieces.
