Painting of the Nine Immortals
chapter-856

In midair, Ling Xian moved aggressively and exploded using the strongest attack he’s ever delivered!

At once, the space crumbled and the man crushed into pieces as well!

Fresh blood splattered everywhere and flesh was all over the place. Ling Xian proudly stood in midair and though his robe was ripped apart and he was injured in multiple places, he remained looking like a heavenly God who gets to rule all nine levels of heaven and 10 levels of hell.

Instantly, everyone was stunned. The heaven and earth all silenced as well.

Dead?

The Court of the Thunder… a powerhouse at the peak of the original level, died just like that?

Everyone widened their eyes and their faces were full of disbelief.

Remember that that was the ruler of the Court of Thunder. In the entire North Desert, he was considered a prominent figure. Yet now, he had been violently killed by Ling Xian. Why wouldn’t the crowd be astonished at this?

They were shocked to their core!

Though they were all confident about Ling Xian, not even in their dreams did they think he would be able to kill him so violently!

As much as they were shocked, they also couldn’t help but feel ecstatic.

The death of the ruler of the Court of Thunder meant the trouble the Wen Clan faced is gone. They will no longer have to worry that someone from the Court will find them. Therefore, why wouldn’t they feel ecstatic?

All of this was thanks to Ling Xian.

“Haha, too dominating! To kill the ruler of the Court of Thunder… just how many people can achieve that in the entire North Desert?”

“Far too powerful. It’s like a god has descended and this god is extremely powerful!”

“Haha, this is the best. Everything that troubles us has been resolved. We need to thank the Young Master.”

Everyone chimed in. Other than shock in their voices, there was only appreciation.

“Ehem, ehem… that wasn’t an easy win.”

Ling Xian coughed up two mouthfuls of blood. However, his expression was not at all tired, instead, he was somewhat proud.

Though that battle wasn’t an easy one and he had to play several tricks to become the final winner – the result was nonetheless a glorious one.

Don’t forget, that man was at the peak of the original level!

And his physique was merely at the advanced stage of the original level. This meant, he had won another fight against someone a stage higher than him!

Without a doubt, that was a glorious battle record and an honorable result!

Very quickly, however, he erased his proud look and restored his normal calm.

If anyone else achieved this, they would be acting with their butt in the air. However, Ling Xian had no ordinary mentality. He merely celebrated for a short while before he collected his emotions and reflected over what he could’ve done better.

It was obvious that with his current physique, killing someone at the peak of the original level was a little difficult. The reason why he was able to win this battle was because of the Immortal Bone. With his physique alone, he would not be able to win against someone at the peak of the original level.

After all, he had no spiritual energy right now and could only count on pure and raw physical strength.

“Though I am capable and it is difficult to find someone at my own level that can win against me, against anyone who is a stage higher, I face difficulty.”

Ling Xian frowned. “It looks like I have to quickly enhance my physique and quickly metamorphose. Or else amongst the countless geniuses in Tianzhou, I do not have much I can protect myself with.”

Then, he remembered the mysterious place at the Court of the Thunder. His eyes exploded with heat.

If what the elder said was true and that place is full of thunder and lightning, then he can actually achieve something with his Indestructible Physique.

When that happens, his physique will break through to the peak of the original level!

Thinking about this made Ling Xian impatient. However, he had something to take care of before that.

That would be the Tree of the Warming Soul.

Since the ruler of Court has died, it means the Wen Clan will no longer face any troubles. If that’s the case then he has fulfilled his promise and the Tree of the Warming Soul will be his possession.

“I will first take the Tree of the Warming Soul, and then I will head to the Court of Thunder.” Ling Xian made his decision and leaped before the Wen Clan Leader.

After he landed, the Wen Clan Leader quickly paid his respect and said genuinely, “Thank you, Young Master, for solving my clan’s problem. This is something the Wen Clan will remember forever. I vow to never forget.”

“We are both merely getting what we need.”

Ling Xian waved his hand and smiled. His eyes flashed with anticipation. “Since the ruler of the Court of the Thunder has died, then the Tree of the Warming Soul can be given to me?”

“Naturally. After all, the tree is merely a dead tree in the hand of the Wen Clan. If I hand it over to you, then maybe you can revive the tree.”

The Wen Clan Leader smiled and extended his right hand, “Young Master, please.”

At this, Ling Xian marched forward in giant steps. Before the Wen Clan’s respectful gazes, he walked forward with his head held up high.

After some time, he arrived in a quiet garden with the Wen Clan Leader.

In the middle of the garden was a giant charred tree. It was roughly four meters tall and three meters wide. Its branches were barren without even half a leaf on it. Its entire tree bark was black and it was completely lifeless.

This was one of the five soul healing treasures – the Tree of the Warming Soul.

The moment he saw this tree, Ling Xian’s eyes brightened and his gaze turned heated.

Though this Tree of the Warming Soul had died, it remains a valuable treasure and remains one of the heavenly objects he’s been looking for, for so long. If he can find the right way, then he may be able to revive this tree.

Therefore, why wouldn’t Ling Xian be ecstatic right now?

“The Painting of the Nine Immortals has the Mountain of the Resting Soul. Today, I have acquired the Tree of the Warming Soul. If I can find the other three treasures, then I can stabilize the souls of the immortals.”

Ling Xian silently cheered. His handsome face found it hard to conceal his excitement.

At this, the Wen Clan smiled. “Young Master, this tree is yours now. You can take it any time.”

“Then I thank you, Wen Clan Leader.”

Ling Xian softly smiled and he wasn’t polite about it. He punched the ground, which split the earth before him. The deeply rooted Tree of the Warming Soul emerged and rose high in the sky.

Then, he rolled up his sleeves and directly sent this tree to the Painting of the Nine Immortals.

At this, the Wen Clan Leader’s eyes revealed some unwillingness to let it go. However, he knew that without Ling Xian, they wouldn’t have been able to keep this tree as they wouldn’t even have been able to keep everyone’s life.

Therefore, he very willingly granted this Tree of the Warming Soul to Ling Xian.

“The ordeal with the Wen Clan is finally over for now.”

After taking the Tree of the Warming Soul to the Painting of the Nine Immortals, Ling Xian grinned and completely stopped worrying. He shifted his gaze towards the Wen Clan Leader and said, “Since I have resolved your Clan’s problems, it is time for me to go.”

“You are leaving so soon?” The Clan Leader was a little stunned.

“I have other things to do. I will not stay here long.” Ling Xian faintly smiled.

“That is true. You are a great figure and you need to do important things. I will not force you to stay.”

The Wen Clan Leader grinned and genuinely said, “Any day, if you wish to be our guest, I will welcome you with everything I have.”

“You are too generous, Wen Clan Leader.”

Ling Xian smiled back then paid his respect before turning around to leave.

Where he was headed was Wen Ru Yu’s bedroom.

Since he was leaving, he naturally had to pay a visit to that strange young girl. The two of them were considered friends after all. To leave without saying anything wasn’t exactly appropriate.

Therefore, Ling Xian decided to visit Wen Ru Yu before heading to the Court of Thunder to train in isolation.

At the same time, inside the Painting of the Nine Immortals, chaos was igniting because of this Tree of the Warming Soul.
