Painting of the Nine Immortals
chapter-724

Inside the dark palace, the silhouette sitting on top of the tatami abruptly opened his eyes. Two sharp beams of light shot out of his eyes.

Immediately, the two piercing streams of light howled and lit up the entire palace and penetrated through the void!

As the silhouette on the tatami slowly rose, a wave of heavenly energy roared out of him. It was aggressive and shot straight through the cloud.

It truly was like a heavenly being descending and a real dragon awakening. His Qi swept everything off the ground for three thousand miles and startled all nine levels of heaven!

"The undefeatable realm of the completion level, I, Ling Xian, have finally arrived…"

The silhouette who was wrapped in murky air finally spoke. Because he hasn't spoken for five years, his voice was hoarse. However, the first statement he made was loud enough to echo!

The undefeatable realm!

Undefeatable completion!

If anyone was here right now, they would be falling into a state of shock right now. It was even possible for them to have difficulties breathing.

Because the weight of these words was far too heavy. Not only did this mean Ling Xian had amazing talent, but it also meant he will soon possess undefeatable completion abilities!

The undefeatable realm of the completion level!

Since the history of time, how many people have achieved this?

Comparably speaking, it was easy to arrive at the undefeatable realm of the meditational level. But all the undefeatable realms after the foundation level are extremely difficult to get to. Even before the drastic change in heaven and earth, very few were able to achieve this!

After the drastic changes, this feat was extremely rare and was generally viewed to be harder than climbing up to the sky!

Yet before everyone's eyes, Ling Xian was now in the legendary undefeatable completion level. If this news got passed around, the entire Yuezhou would fall into awe.

Even Ling Xian himself was shocked. Because he didn't think that after getting to the undefeatable realm, his capabilities would rise to such a level.

After his initial moment of shock, exhilaration quickly occupied him.

Therefore, after his first movement in five years, he erupted into an earth-shattering laugh.

"Haha, the undefeatable realm. I have finally broken through and I am now without enemies in the completion level!"

Ling Xian laughed hysterically and continued to express the joy he was feeling.

Years of anticipation and waiting, five years of agony and torture. At this moment, he finally got his reward!

It was the best kind of reward!

Ignoring all the anticipation he felt before his isolation and solely focusing on the agony he experienced after he began his isolation… that alone was enough to make the majority of people crumble. However, he didn't. Instead, he gritted his teeth and waited for the day to be reborn.

Reality has proven that everything that he has given was worth it.

Therefore, even with his mentality, he couldn't help but to laugh hysterically and let his emotions take over!

What could he do? He was far too happy. Perhaps if he reached the undefeatable realm easily, he wouldn't do this. But these five years, he spent it in agony, spent it in torture, spent it with thoughts of killing himself in his head.

Now that he has reached the undefeatable realm and has gotten a reward for what he had given, why would he be exhilarated?

However, he was extraordinary after all. If this was anyone else, they wouldn't be able to recollect themselves for several days and nights. But he merely laughed for a little while before restoring to his normal calmness.

"This really is the undefeatable realm of the completion level. I can feel it… the terror of my power."

Ling Xian had a soft smile on his lips as he felt the surges of power inside his body. His eyes were full of astonishment.

He had reached the undefeatable realm in both the meditational level and the foundation level and thus, he knew how big of a gap it was before and after a breakthrough. Despite that, he didn't think that after he reached this realm, his capabilities would be as high as this!

Based on what he sensed, the capabilities he had now was at least 10 times of what it was before.

Ten times!

This number was basically the equivalent to the distance between a completion peak and the beginning stage of the original level!

This alone proved how powerful he was!

"Such strong powers!"

Tightening his right fist, Ling Xian's eyes flashed with anticipation, "I wonder if I can defeat normal original leveled powerhouses in my current state?"

Just as he spoke, he had an ambitious look on his face. He wanted to find an original leveled cultivator and try it out.

Very quickly, however, he suppressed that thought. Not that he let that thought go, it was just that he had other things to think about at the moment.

What was his biggest gain with this breakthrough today? It was without a doubt, the terrifying power of the completion undefeatable level. However, other than this, he gained something else that was not any less powerful than being in the undefeatable realm.

The legendary Immortal Bones.

In the Taoism community, everyone with somewhat of a status or position knows about the Immortal Bones and where they come from. To those who knows of it, they also know that this ability comes from the undefeatable realm.

Of course, there is no way the Immortal Bones could be gained at the undefeatable realm of the meditational stage. Only those above the foundational stage could be blessed with the Immortal Bones.

There was also no certainty associated with the Immortal Bones. Only those with true talent could end up with the Immortal Bones during a breakthrough.

To know that there are already so very few cultivators who could enter the undefeatable realm of the foundational level. Out of those, even less could get the Immortal Bones. This alone proves how special this is!

Just like its name suggests, the Immortal Bone is a piece of bone. When a cultivator enters the undefeatable realm, a random bone in their body is sculpted by a mysterious power and is grated with special powers.

Sometimes, it appears in someone's arm, sometimes in someone's chest. Regardless, its location and its abilities are not for certain.

What is for certain however, is that any immortal bone is shockingly capable and extremely powerful!

Any cultivator dreams of this object!

"I originally thought there was no way I could get the Immortal Bone but this time, it has formed. It seems like I have more than one as well."

The corner of Ling Xian's lips curled up. He could feel the Immortal Bone firming up in his body. It wasn't yet in its final form but its shocking strength was already obvious.

This gave him high expectations and made him extremely excited.

Before he even reached the foundational undefeatable level, he had hopes of getting the Immortal Bone. Sadly, he was disappointed that time and thought that he didn't meet the standard of forming the bone.

This time however, he was getting what he missed last time. Though it wasn't done forming, he was certain that the Immortal Bone would not get away. Based on what he could sense, there were more than one piece in his body – two was a possibility!

"Could it be that I am getting compensated for what I didn't get last time?

Ling Xian shook his head with a smile and denied this guess. That wasn't possible. He's never heard of the Immortal Bones compensating for itself.

His other guess was more accurate.

His other guess was that he should've gotten the Immortal Bone when he broke through to the undefeatable realm of the foundational level. However, for unknown reasons, it was temporarily stopped. Now that he was once again entering the undefeatable realm, the mysterious energy inside his body was ignited again.

So for him to get two Immortal Bones was reasonable.

At this, Ling Xian smiled and accepted this guess.

No matter what the reason is, the most important part is the result. If he could nurture two Immortal Bones… then the reason for them isn't important.

"I originally thought I wouldn't be able to form any Immortal Bones, but I ended up getting two. The Heaven has been inviting."

Ling Xian smiled, very satisfied at this result.

The only flaw in this was that his Immortal Bones weren't done developing, thus he couldn't see the legendary Immortal Bone yet and could not know what his bones were capable of.

But that wasn't important. They would form sooner or later and all he needed was patience.

"I sure have high anticipation as to what kind of Immortal Bones are forming inside of me and what kind of powers they have."

Ling Xian was full of hope and decided to stop thinking about this problem. Instead, he internally scanned his clone.

After the nourishment of his majestic ancient blood, all his bones have reconnected and his flesh had renewed. His body was as good as new and even improved to become more flawless.

If he didn't know that this was a clone, he would've questioned if this was a real body.

"The cloning technique sure is eerie. The clone is composed of spiritual energy yet it is exactly the same as my original self. How divine."

Ling Xian chuckled and called out his original self from the Painting of the Nine Immortals.

The power from the undefeatable realm, the two brewing Immortal Bones, and his ancient majestic blood – they were all contained within this clone.

Therefore, he needed to take these abilities out of his clone and input them into his original self. This may sound a little strange because how could these powers be merged into a different body?

Reality was that it was possible.

Because this clone wasn't an ordinary one. it was formed by the mysterious cloning technique and it was no different than his original self. This was why he was able to infuse his ancient majestic blood into the clone.

"I need my clone to continue my undercover mission at the Shang Qing Sect. I cannot leave my abilities inside his body."

Ling Xian wiped off his smile and spiritual energy poured out from the clone's head and re-entered his original self. Then, looking at the lifeless clone, he uttered out one word.

"Segregate."

Just then, according to what he has read in ancient records, he formed a hand seal. Immediately, a mysterious gravitational force pulled in the three different abilities into his original self.

The ancient majestic blood was easy and was immediately pulled into his original self. The undefeatable realm abilities and the brewing Immortal Bones however, were more difficult to deal with.

Luckily, the cloning technique was very beast itself. Despite the seemingly impossible task, it pushed and shoved and ended up merging these abilities into Ling Xian's original self.

Instantly, his clone weakened and his original self blossomed to an extreme edge!

HOMMMMM!

Terrifying Qi rolled out and startled the mountain and the ground. It truly was like a real dragon awakening and a real immortal descending, his power rolled out for three thousand miles long!

Only at this moment, did Ling Xian truly possess the power from the undefeatable realm of the completion level!

It was then, did he truly possess the two Immortal Bones!

Just as he was feeling his unbelievable strength, Chu Zhong Tian and Huang Er arrived. When they saw that not only was he safe, he was even more powerful, their expressions bloomed into full smiles.

They thanked the heavens for their master's safety.

Chu Zhong Tian and Huang Er were ecstatic as they kneeled before the protective array of the palace and cheered loudly.

"Master, you have finally awakened. Now, all our troubles can go away."
