Chapter 708: Indestructible

Translator: _Tat_ Editor: Rundi

It was right at noon and the giant Sun was shedding down an endless amount of light that engulfed the entire City of Sin.

All the citizens of the city were roaring, as they cheered and applauded. Like the ocean waves splashing down, their exclaims echoed throughout space.

This was all because Ling Xian had once again displayed his vigor and had slaughtered Mo Jing Lei!

Everyone was already aware of how powerful Mo Jing Lei was. Him alone managed to kill all the cultivators within a village. Yet this person had just been turned to a pulp by Ling Xian. How powerful was this?

Why wouldn’t everyone cheer for him?

However, he ignored everyone’s cheering. Because he was now 100 percent caught up by the storage pouch before him.

He was well aware of how dominating an attack from all six of his transformative qualities was. It was enough to completely defeat a cultivator like Mo Jing Lei. Despite that, the storage pouch remained unharmed, which proved how extraordinary it was.

At the very least, it proved its firm exterior.

“Very interesting. It looks like I have gotten a surprise reward.”

Ling Xian squeezed out a faint smile. After his anger dissipated, his mood turned very joyous. Now that he was seeing an obvious special storage pouch, his mood naturally lifted.

“Let me see what is inside this storage pouch.”

Waving his hand, the storage pouch immediately flew to his hand. The pouch itself was gold and appeared to be very soft. The texture of it was also very soothing.

In addition, there was a layer of golden light that circulated around the pouch. Under his investigation, it was a small array technique set on the pouch that had extremely powerful defensive abilities.

“So it’s blessed with a defensive technique. It is no wonder it could stop the attack from all six of my transformative qualities.”

Ling Xian had a realization and smiled in satisfaction, “Not bad. It is rare to find such an amazing defensive technique.”

Then, his right hand made a circle above the storage pouch. Strong Qi poured out and easily erased the imprints Mo Jing Lei left.

Though his imprints were erased, this storage pouch was very high leveled and exploded with a wave of energy that pushed Ling Xian’s Qi to the outside.

“It’s equipped with a technique that stops others’ Qi?”

Ling Xian raised an eyebrow, finding this strange. However, at the same time, his curiosity and excitement grew.

The pouch had a defensive array set on it and disallowed other people’s Qi. From all this, it became more and more obvious how special this storage pouch is. Even some Supreme Headmasters do not have storage pouches like this. In other words, this storage pouch itself was already an extraordinary treasure.

“Sadly, your owner has been killed. As a dead object, you dare to object against me?”

Ling Xian taunted. A powerful Qi continued to pour out that instantly broke the storage pouch’s array.

Then, the joyous expression on his face intensified.

Because after a rough glance, he found out that hundreds of thousands of spiritual stones were inside the pouch. All of them were of great quality. Other than this, there were also a lot of scrolls of techniques and weapons. They piled up to a small mountain and were all shining with brightness.

Conservatively estimating, they were worth hundreds of thousands. These plus the hundreds of thousands of spiritual stones, the dead man could be described as a wealthy man.

“He truly was the Qing Ming House’s strongest descendant. He is so wealthy he bleeds money.”

Ling Xian smiled in satisfaction, “Mo Jing Lei, you have given me a great gift. I bet you didn’t even dream of a day when all the riches you saved from years of hard work would turn into trophies of winning for me.”

Then, he continued to use his Qi to scan around to find what other treasures deserved his attention.

Honestly speaking, the spiritual stones and the other treasures were very valuable. However, he didn’t see any great importance in them. To him, they were merely supplements to what he really cared about: treasures that could not be measured by spiritual stones.

After he scanned around with his Qi, he actually did find some treasures that engrossed him.

A black scroll. It had no fancy heavenly energy dancing around it, nor was terrifying Qi pouring out. It appeared absolutely ordinary. But what kind of person was Ling Xian? He noticed its extraordinariness the moment he saw it.

Based on what he was sensing, this scroll was ridden mostly with knowledge about the cultivation paths, and the other half composed of powerful techniques.

“It looks like I have encountered something great.” Ling Xian revealed a faint smile. He took out the scroll and continued to scan it with his Qi.

In the next second, his sparkling eyes flashed with shock. As he continued to read, the excitement on his face intensified.

The Indestructible Physique.

That was the technique recorded on the black scroll. It was also known as the great technique for the physique.

Based on what the scroll described, the moment this technique is mastered, the physique of the cultivator would enhance greatly. If the ultimate peak is reached, then the cultivator would become utterly indestructible.

Everything, from destroying an enemy army with one hand, to crushing a mountain with a finger; all of these things were little things that were not worth mentioning.

From this alone, it became obvious just how powerful this technique is!

Therefore, the moment he saw this technique, Ling Xian’s entire heart quaked and his eyes shined brighter.

“The Indestructible Physique… If I do as what is described, then I will become limitless in strength.” Ling Xian’s face was heated. However, he was also a little pitiful.

Because this technique was not complete and it was flawed. In other words, if he starts to train now, he will at the most, learn half of what it’s capable of.

Thus, he naturally felt a little pitiful.

But it was good enough. Ignoring the hundreds and thousands of spiritual stones, this technique with great potential was enough to compel even those of the original level.

Thus, Ling Xian was very satisfied with his earnings from this trip.

“Though I was unhappy that someone provoked me, I have killed him and my anger is relieved. Now that I have acquired such great rewards, it was honestly a pretty worthy battle.”

Ling Xian smiled in satisfaction and even had high anticipations. He mumbled to himself, “If everyone who provokes me carries valuable treasures, then I wish to be bothered with troubles.”

As he spoke, he placed the gold storage pouch into his own. Then, he began to ponder about the Qing Ming House.

After what happened with Mo Jing Lei, it was clear that he had formed a rivalship with the Qing Ming House. The two of them will likely be unable to co-exist.

In other words, there were only two possibilities that remain. He could either kill the Qing Ming House, or he could get killed by the Qing Ming House.

“The issue with the Qing Ming House is something I have to resolve myself.”

Ling Xian’s eyes were flashing with coldness, “First, they invaded my land because of the City of Sin, then, they sent people to provoke me. This House had caused me trouble multiple times and has completely angered me.”

“Plus, if I don’t hit back now, I will have to face an endless amount of problems. Though I am fearless, I dread having to deal with all this.”

Ling Xian closed his eyes and continued to think for a while. Then he got an idea

An idea that puts an end to the troubles with the Shang Qing Sect and gives a valid reason for asking the citizens of the City of Sin to leave.

“Qing Ming Sect, don’t blame me for being cruel. If you didn’t provoke me first, I wouldn’t have made this decision.”

Ling Xian looked far into the south and coldness washed over his eyes. He had made up his mind.
