Chapter 864: A Big Scene

Translator: _Tat_ Editor: Rundi

Inside the forest, Ling Xian broke through the levels aggressively as if he was breaking through bamboo leaves. Within less than 15 minutes, he had passed the seventh level.

The deep bell rang in a row, shocking all nine levels of Heaven and all 10 levels of hell, shocking everyone there.

“My god, is he a monster?”

“Unbelievable. Within such a short period of time, he passed through seven levels. That is unbelievable.”

“Yeah, this man’s speed is something even Fairy Wu couldn’t achieve back then!”

“This truly is like a God has descended. He is unbelievably aggressive!”

Everyone discussed in shock. Their tone was filled with disbelief.

From the Library of Fortune, one shadow after another flew out. Amongst them were men, women, the elderly, and the young. They were either incredible talents, or powerful elders. Without exceptions, however, they were all well-known figures.

What could they do? To have the seventh bell ring from Heavenly Palace was far too shocking. Even the important figures from the Library of Fortune can no longer sit still as they all rushed over to check out what kind of person successfully surpassed seven levels.

They all wanted to see if the person who did this can continue to achieve greatness and get through the eighth level!

However, after a while, there was no noise from the Heavenly Palace.

Everyone frowned at this and those who were jealous of Ling Xian, laughed.

“Haha, I knew he wouldn’t be that insane. So he stops at the seventh level. I bet in a bit, the Heavenly Palace will kick him out.”

“Hehe, that’s right. No matter how powerful he is, he cannot pass the next level!”

“I think, the reason why he was able to get through the first few levels was because he used all his strength. Or else how could he be so insane? To use so little time to get to the seventh level?”

“Haha, that idiot. Doesn’t he know that every level the Heavenly Palace gets harder and harder? If he was too aggressive before, he must be tired now. We should patiently wait for him to get kicked out.”

Everyone laughed in contempt. They all thought Ling Xian had drained all his energy and that was why he was able to get through all seven levels.

Just like they had said, every level of the Heavenly Palace gets more difficult exponentially. If one uses up all their energy on the first few levels, they may be able to get through faster, but for the later levels, they would get fatigued and struggle.

Therefore, everyone was convinced that this was the end of Ling Xian’s journey and he will soon be kicked out by the Heavenly Palace.

They didn’t know that though the first few levels appeared difficult for them, to Ling Xian, they were nothing. They didn’t deserve all his strength!

Just as everyone expressed their lack of confidence and thought that Ling Xian was about to be kicked out, a heart startling bell suddenly rang again. Everyone subconsciously covered their ears.

Yet, this bell ringing was far too loud. Even though they covered their ears, their hearts were still startled.

The seventh ring!

This meant Ling Xian successfully got through the eighth level!

Without a doubt, that was another slap in the face. It hit hard at those who laughed at Ling Xian. Those people were now blank in the brain.

After the ringing, more silhouettes from the Library of Fortune appeared. Without a doubt, they were all prominent figures.

Even the vice deans of the library came out. Other than shock in their eyes, there was joy.

The eighth ring meant the eighth level. It meant if Ling Xian works a little harder, then he can get through the entire Palace and become the fourth most powerful man in ten thousand years!

Of course, if we measure by speed, then he will shamelessly become number one!

This kind of Heaven’s Favorite, if admitted into the Library of Fortune, would a great honor for the Library. Thus, why wouldn’t the vice deans be happy?

He wasn’t the only one. The other elders felt the same way.

This was their 12th attempt at getting pupils. But there hasn’t been a single person to pass the seventh level. Yet before their eyes, there was a monster. Of course, they were ecstatic.

“Hmmph, so what he’s at the eighth level? If he’s so capable he should get through all the levels.”

“Exactly, I do not believe a mortal without Qi can get through all the levels.”

“Hehe, it’s been 15 minutes since the eighth bell. I think he is now exhausted and will be out soon.”

Some people continued to mock. They didn’t think he would get through all the levels and thought he would stop there.

After all, only three people passed all the levels in tens and thousands of years!

The rest frowned, somewhat hesitant. As time went on, the Heavenly Palace remained quiet. Everyone was getting more and more curious.

“Could it be… that person is really stopping at the eighth level?”

“Stopping here is normal. He has already gotten through to the eight level. Remember that the ninth cannot be passed that easily.”

“That’s right. To have one person, Fairy Wu, is already a great fortune of the Library.”

Both of the vice deans shook their heads and sighed. It was obvious that they didn’t think highly of Ling Xian.

Or in other words, nobody here saw highly of him. First, it was because it’s been half an hour since the eighth level. Second, the ninth level was extremely difficult!

However, just as everyone was starting to believe that he cannot do this, another loud rumble arose!

DONG!

The ninth ring shook up the sky and the earth and echoed throughout the field!

At once, everyone widened their eyes. The entire space also quieted down.

Only the bell ringing continued to echo, telling everyone that after Fairy Wu, another person has gotten through all the levels!

Without a doubt, that was an unbelievable thing and also a raw slap in the face. All those who laughed at Ling Xian were now dumbfounded and had no more energy to deny the fact!

The bell had rung nine times. The Heavenly Palace had been beaten. What can they do to deny this? What facts do they have to deny this?

They could only carry with them shock and respect. They didn’t dare to laugh at all anymore!

“My god… that person actually did it…”

Everyone’s mentality was breaking down and their expressions were full of shock. Remembering just how insanely fast Ling Xian was shook them to their core.

That speed was something even Fairy Wu couldn’t achieve back then!

Though this doesn’t necessarily indicate that Ling Xian was more capable, it did represent a new record.

The record of getting through the Heavenly Palace in 10,000 years!

HOMMMM!

After a loud roar, the Heavenly Palace began to emit light and violently vibrate. Then, a shadow in white broke through the Heavenly Palace and stood tall and proud.

His brows were like swords; his demeanor extraordinary. Like an immortal from above the clouds, he looked sage-like, holy, and righteous.

Especially since he had just beaten the Heavenly Palace, to everyone, he was like the new young God. The light he emitted made everyone scared to look at him directly.

It was as if looking at him was a great disrespect.

This meant they admired him. Truly admired him.

Even the rare talents from the Library of Fortune couldn’t help but exclaim. They all felt like Ling Xian was an aggressive hell.

“He has no Qi but he has reached the peak of the original level with his physique. What a Heaven’s Favorite.”

The vice deans of the Library of Fortune saw through Ling Xian right away. Their eyes shone with awe and joy.

“This monster is on par with Ning Cheng.”
