Painting of the Nine Immortals
-
chapter-460
The Painting of the Nine Immortals was full of life and scenic. Everything that can be found in the external world can be found here.
Majestic mountain ranges, flowers that competed for beauty, clear and blue streams, everything was here.
After some compliments and chit chats, Liao Cang Qiong flew away to talk with Feng Ming Qing. They had been friends since they were both mortals, or rather, all the immortals in the Painting of the Nine Immortals were friends. Or else they wouldn't all be here, going through this together.
As for Ling Xian, he came to the mountain the Untainted resided in after getting an order from her.
The wind was blowing and made a mess of the Untainted's green and white robe. This only added color to her incomparable beauty and humanized her.She stood up on top of the mountain and her beautiful face was as calm as the water. She was cold like always, yet her beauty remained stunning.
Ling Xian had a faint grin as he watched her silhouette, "I wonder why you called me here?"
"Do you remember what I said to you after you just broke through to the completion level?" The Untainted spoke, the look in her eyes was profound and complex like the galaxy.
"What you said?" Ling Xian frowned. Remembering her promise from back then, his pupils dilated.
He clearly remembered now, when he just broke through to the completion level, the Untainted said, once he reached the intermediate stage, she will pass down an unparalleled technique to him!
"Mistress, you are going to pass down the technique to me?" Ling Xian's gaze was heated and his breathing quickened.
"That's right."The Untainted nodded softly, "You have reached the intermediate stage and now fulfill all the prerequisite to learn this."
"I wonder what kind of technique it is?"
Looking at Ling Xian's excited expression, the Untainted let out a soft grin, "Why don't you guess."
"Guess?"
Ling Xian was a little startled. He carefully searched his brain for all the legends about the Keeper of Land and Sea and tried to guess which technique she wanted to pass on.
In the long history of Taoism, the Untainted had been a legend that cannot be unraveled. She united all of humanity and led them out of the darkest ages of history!
She was a woman of legendary wisdom, ferocious determination, unstoppable strength, and remarkable passion. She was the most intriguing, desired woman history had ever known.
Based on what had been written about her, it was clear how dominating the Untainted truly was. Any technique she was involved with had been relished by descendants.
Legend has that to improve capabilities, the Untainted learned many techniques in secret and in hiding. Thus, she knew more than 10 different types of techniques and every single type was legendary and awe-inducing. She even knew many supreme divine powers!
But, the most famous one, was without a doubt, a creation originated from her later years. It was named the Disorder Conquering Immortal Fists!
This technique had been known throughout history as difficult and profound. It combined the Untainted's family technique and her own life enlightenment. It was also because of this technique, was she able to guide the millions of civilians into safety!
In the entire history of time, this technique was considered to be shocking and unparalleled!
"Mistress, are you going to pass down the… Disorder Conquering Immortal Fists?"
Ling Xian's eyes shone as he thought about the legendary technique. Very quickly however, his expression turned sour, as he realized he's dreaming.
The Disorder Conquering Immortal Fists was the Untainted's strongest move. Why would she teach it to others? Even if she did decide to pass it down, she would pass it down to her own apprentices. Why would she choose Ling Xian?
In the next second however, his eyes exploded with light and disbelief.
"You are right, it's the Disorder Conquering Immortal Fists, the move that accompanied me my whole life."
The Untainted was collected as she stared at the shocked Ling Xian. Her lips quivered into a faint smile, "There's no need to be so surprised. It's just a technique."
"Mistress, it's your strongest technique. You are really… going to teach me?" Ling Xian revealed how shocked he was and thought maybe he heard her wrong.
"That's right. There's no need to be so shocked."
The Untainted roughly smiled, "It is an important legacy of mine. Normally, I wouldn't pass it down that easily. However, I am now only a soul of an Immortal. It's rather useless to keep it for myself. I might as well teach you and enhance your capabilities."
"I…."
Ling Xian caught himself in awe and bitterly smiled, "What have I done to deserve such kindness from you?"
"There's no need to be humble. My technique is not something anyone can learn. Since I chose you, this means you have the ability."
The Untainted spoke softly. She thought of that Ling Xian's detestable and respectable principal and added, "Don't worry. I'm not asking you to make me you Master. Just think of it like you found the recipe to my technique on the street."
"Aye…"
Ling Xian sighed, knowing that the Untainted was saying this to make him feel better. His heart warmed and he graciously thanked, "Thank you for thinking highly of me."
"No need for thanks. It's because of your abilities and your morality that I made this decision." The Untainted parted her lips. Her gaze was calm like usual. If one looked closely, one would realize that there was a hint of shock deep within her eyes.
It was apparent that even with her level of experience, she was surprised at Ling Xian's growth.
One has to admit that this was an extremely rare event. Who was the Untainted? She was the powerhouse of an entire generation!
She had seen far too many Heaven's Favorites in her lifetime. Even those considered best of the punch can barely impress her. Yet Ling Xian here had brought her far too many shocks, enough for her to pass down her legacy. How unbelievable was this?
How honorable was this?!
"Am I… am I really that strong…" Ling Xian rubbed his nose. As much as he felt disbelief, he was also proud.
If others were praising him, he wouldn't feel proud. But this was the Untainted, one of the most powerful figure in history!
Who can remain calm in this situation? Even the extremely powerful cannot just listen and do nothing!
"Alright, then let's not waste any more time. I will pass down my technique to you." The Untainted turned serious.
"Yes, Mistress." Ling Xian's gaze was heated and his expression too, turned serious.
"The Disorder Conquering Immortal Fists was created using my family's technique and my own enlightenment. It can be considered to be unmatchable and extremely powerful – enough to cause a chaos on Earth and in Heaven."
The Untainted then stated in a low voice, "Though it's powerful, it also has a weakness. It's a little too aggressive."
Pausing, she continued, "This technique is aggressive and is competing to be the strongest boxing move. Normally, when people try to learn it, they cannot handle the aggression from the technique itself and end up being overpowered and die."
"This is why I didn't want to pass it down to you before. But now that you are of the intermediate stage, you have what it takes to acquire this move. However, it is still very dangerous."
The Untainted remained sombre as she stared directly at Ling Xian, "I wonder if you are willing to risk your life to learn this?"
