Chapter 529: Three Titles
Translator: _Tat_ Editor: Rundi
Since the deactivation of the Imperishable Temple, half a month had passed. Since then, some news had been out and about, generating a storm that swept all over Yunzhou.
Because the ten Dynasties and the nine Houses never intentionally tried to stop this news from spreading, all the cultivators in Yunzhou had learned about the events that happened inside the Imperishable Temple. Everyone, once again, fell into shock because of Ling Xian.
Even though in Yunzhou, astonishing events were happening all the time, compared to the three pieces of news, those events were nothing important.
This was all because the three pieces of news were far too astounding.
First news, Ling Xian fought solo against six different Heaven's Favorites of six different foreign kinds. And the result was that he killed two of them, and defeated two!
When this news came out, everyone in Yunzhou was completely stunned. Remember that the humans were naturally weaker and when fighting against a foreign kind of the same level, the humans had a tendency to lose.
Yet Ling Xian as one man fought against six and ended in victory. What an honorable battle score!
What a brilliant glory!?
Ever since the Imperishable Temple activated for the first time, the humankind had been suppressed by the foreign kinds. Every single time the Temple activated, many humans died. This had been suffocating everyone in Yunzhou for a long time.
Yet today, Ling Xian, with his extremely powerful abilities, defeated the foreign kinds. This was an honor for the humankind, and naturally, everyone in Yunzhou was dancing in joy at this piece of news.
After the shock and joy, the title, "Strongest Cultivator of the Young Generation", was very naturally crowned to Ling Xian.
Nobody denied this title, nobody had the right to deny this title.
If this title isn't crowned to the unparalleled Heaven's Favorite with such glorious battle scores, then who deserves this title?
The strongest cultivator of the young generation!
This was a title everyone in Yunzhou agreed to, it was a title that represents the strongest cultivator, and represents the biggest honor as well!
Other than the undefeatable Heaven's Favorite, who fought everyone until he was looked up to, nobody else deserved this title. Without a doubt, Ling Xian, in Yunzhou, was now undefeatable after all the battles he's had.
After this title, another title was crowned to Ling Xian.
A national treasure in human form!
Just like its name suggests, the Ling Xian right now, was like a treasure – a treasure worth an unimaginable amount.
This title, of course, stemmed from the news regarding the three pages of the Divine Book of Genesis.
When everyone in Yunzhou learned that he snatched three pages of the Divine Book of Genesis, they were once again dragged into a state of shock. The value of the Divine Book of Genesis did not need an explanation. Even one page of it was worth an amount that is impossible to estimate, let alone having three pages.
Right now, Ling Xian held three pages of the Divine Book of Genesis. In other words, he was now worth an astronomical amount. Plus, the value of the Divine Book of Genesis could not be measured by numbers. Even the most powerful in the world would shake and waver before this treasure!
Therefore, he deserved the title "a national treasure in human form".
The word "treasure" was normally associated with the word "contention".
Therefore, when the cultivators in Yunzhou learned this news, everyone set off and crazily searched for Ling Xian. Even a few original leveled nomadic cultivators were among them!
Ling Xian's situation now became even more dangerous.
The entire Yunzhou was searching for him. Everyone wanted to defeat him, kill him, and steal from him!
However, when the third news was passed around, many people's greed evaporated. At the same time, a third title was brought onto Ling Xian.
The foreign kind killer!
This was Ling Xian's third title. As for how it came to be, it was originated from the various foreign kinds.
Though nobody really knew the details, the result spoke for itself. It was said that a cultivator quietly followed up on that day, and then ended up seeing forty-five dead bodies.
In other words, all the chasers of Ling Xian ended up dead!
Remember that these spiritual beings were all powerhouses of the advanced stage of the completion level and the majority of them were at the peak of the completion level. Therefore, how shocking of an event was it that even after they allied in an attempt to end Ling Xian, they were all killed instead?
This whole thing was truly unimaginable!
There were 45 powerhouses, not 45 ants. How could they possibly be killed so easily? However, the reality was right there. No matter how hard it was to accept, everyone had to accept.
Therefore, the title, the foreign kind killer, was naturally crown to Ling Xian. At the same time, it diminished most people's greed. And now very few dared to try and even think about taking advantage of Ling Xian.
This was something obvious. If he could kill 45 powerhouses from various foreign kinds, then who would dare to fight him other than those original leveled cultivators?
Nobody, unless they were tired of living.
Therefore, when all three pieces of news spread all over about Ling Xian, a storm never seen before was formed and the entire Yunzhou fell into shock. Everyone was greatly astounded and could not comprehend how all three of these rattling events were about the same person!
Without a doubt, the name Ling Xian once again rattled Yunzhou!
At once, he shone like the Sun in the sky, shedding light in all directions!
Whether it was the top talents who just emerged or some unique event that suddenly occurred, they were all outshined by Ling Xian's glory.
People who would otherwise become prominent clenched their teeth in hatred, but they were utterly helpless. They knew that they could not compare themselves to Ling Xian, that insane genius, and they didn't dare to compare themselves to him.
Just like that, the name Ling Xian echoed throughout Yunzhou. All at once, his name became the definition of honor and glory!
Beneath all this, however, was fury and killer's intent.
After the 45 powerhouses collapsed, all the different foreign kinds in Yunzhou fell into an absolute rage and sent out even more powerhouses. They vowed to search for and kill Ling Xian no matter where he ends up, and they would not rest until Ling Xian is dead!
...
The night was cold like water. And the moon hung high in the sky, shedding down a crisp dim ray of light that reflected off the mountain of corpses in the forest.
Ling Xian's expression was calm, and he wore a robe white like snow. He was surrounded with a concentrated amount of killer's intent and devious energy, making him look like a thirsty killer who could easily make one quiver with fear.
Around him were seven to eight dead bodies. There were broken and dismembered limbs here and there – the entire area was like hell on earth and was too horrible to look at.
It was obvious that an intense war just happened here.
"Phew… phew…"
Ling Xian huffed and puffed heavily. He leaned forward and grabbed his chest with his left hand to stop the fresh blood from pouring out.
Just minutes ago, he had encountered the ambush of powerhouses sent by the various foreign kinds. After a long and hard battle, he finally ended the lives of all these challengers. However, because he was fighting alone, he was gravely injured despite his eventual victory.
Remember, those spiritual beings whom he just fought against were at the advanced stage of the completion level. Out of them, three were powerhouses at the peak of the completion level. To have been able to kill all of them was a very difficult task. How could he not be injured at all?
Luckily, these spiritual beings were not in the undefeatable realm. If they were, Ling Xian would be dead by now.
"My injuries this time are rather serious too." Ling Xian bitterly chuckled. Sensing his deteriorating health, he felt a headache.
Though he was an alchemist with insane abilities and could make a perfect Dan, he never healed himself with his medicinal Dans because he never brews those Dans for situations like this. Therefore, every time he was wounded, he relied on himself and his body's own ability to heal.
In other words, every time he healed himself, it took him a long time.
Because of this, the demon, who was standing on top of a tree branch, was laughing a little at this. His intentions were wavering.
Now that Ling Xian was extremely wounded, he had a perfect opportunity to end all this. With a soft flick of his fingers, he could kill the young man before him. When that would happen, he would no longer be threatened by the Demon Defending Monument.
"Do I make a move, or do I not?"
The demon's eyes flickered as he stared at the now fragile young man below. His Qi began to circulate through his veins silently.
