Chapter 895: The Sixth Immortal

Translator: _Tat_ Editor: Rundi

Inside the Painting of the Nine Immortals beneath a Mountain of the Resting Soul.

A three-meter-tall tree stood there, emitting a dense and heavy amount of light and soul-warming energy. It made everyone feel drunk and immortal-like.

This was one of the five greatest soul-nourishing items – the Tree of the Warming Soul.

No matter how wounded one’s soul is, it can be used as nourishment or even help restore the soul without any side effects.

It could be said that this was the highest level of a treasure – something that everyone in the Taoism community desires. Even the omnipotent would fight to try and get their hands on it!

“Good, good, great!” Liao Cang Qiong was smiling so hard he was now a flower.

The others reacted in the same way. Even the normally cold Untainted couldn’t help but curve her lips a little to show a faint smile.

This one Tree of the Warming Soul cannot revive their souls and restore them to their original peak. However, without a doubt, it represented a form of hope. The hope that they will be able to one day be revived.

As long as they can acquire the remaining three treasures, then the five items can form a self-regulating magnetic field. Then, their souls can resurrect and become immortal again!

If they work even harder, they may even be able to reconstruct their physical bodies and once again experience glory.

Therefore, why wouldn’t they be ecstatic?

All of this was thanks to Ling Xian.

Therefore, everyone was now focused on the smiling young man. Their gazes were soft and they were full of praises.

“Ling Xian, you have achieved greatness.”

The Immortal of Techniques looked at him, smiling. “Though I cannot return to my best condition yet, it will help us stabilize our souls and I will no longer need so much deep sleep to restore my energy.”

“Yeah, all of this is thanks to you.”

“That’s right. This is without a doubt, a ray of hope. If we can find the other three items, then I will no longer need to worry about my soul dying at any second.”

The immortals all chimed in. Other than thankfulness in their voices, there was joy.

“Don’t say that, immortals. Without you, how can I, Ling Xian, have today?”

Ling Xian waved his hand and said in a more serious tone, “Don’t worry immortals, I will use the remainder of my life to find the other three treasures to help you reconstruct your immortal bodies.”

“Haha, great!”

Liao Cang Qiong laughed out loud, “Do not worry too much. We understand that those treasures are rare and hard to find. Even if you cannot find them, we will not blame you. Don’t stress yourself out.”

“That’s right. To have met someone as excellent as you in my lifetime is enough,” Feng Qing Ming said with a grin.

Hearing this, Ling Xian smiled and didn’t say anything more. However, he silently vowed that he will for sure get his hands on the three other treasures to repay the immortals.

“Right.”

Liao Cang Qiong remembered something and then beamed, “Thanks to you, the Tree of the Warming Soul and the Mountain of the Resting Soul will multiply in effect, which means the sixth immortal will soon awaken.”

Hearing this, Ling Xian’s eyes brightened with anticipation.

After interacting with these immortals, he now understands that every single immortal from the Painting of the Nine Immortals is a heaven-defying and legendary character!

The second best-ranked alchemist, the pioneer of arrays, the Untainted who slew thousands of different kinds, the founder of techniques… all of them were legendary powerhouses who ruled their generation!

If they have all been so powerful, then how can the immortal who is a part of their team be bad?

The next immortal will for sure be another grand and great powerhouse!

Therefore, Ling Xian was really looking forward to who the sixth immortal was.

“You have high expectations don’t you? You can take a guess.”

Liao Cang Qiong peeked at Ling Xian with a smile. Then, he remembered something and said, “Wait, don’t bother. You will not be able to guess it even if you use all your brain cells.”

“What do you mean by that?”

Ling Xian was a little startled. Not being able to guess was normal. But to not be able to guess even if all his brain cells were used? That was a little eerie.

After all, there were only so many legends from Taoism history. If one continues guessing, then one can find an answer.

“Hehe, you will find out when the time comes. Telling you now makes it boring.” Liao Cang Qiong laughed.

At this, the others agreed. Therefore, they didn’t leak any information to Ling Xian about the sixth immortal.

As much as he was confused, his hope heightened.

The sixth immortal is someone he cannot even guess? How cool is that!

“You don’t have to tell me. I will wait patiently.”

Ling Xian grinned. “I wonder when I can meet this sixth immortal?”

“About that…”

Liao Cang Qiong paused. “Back then, we were all heavily wounded and the worse the injury, the later we wake up. Originally, it would’ve probably taken him an extra 20 years to wake up. But with this Tree of the Warming Soul, he will probably awaken within two years.”

“Two years… it’s not exactly long.” The corner of Ling Xian’s lips curled up as he revealed his excitement.

To cultivators, two years flash by in the snap of a finger. Therefore, his anticipation intensified.

Then, he paid respect to the immortals, “Since the Tree of the Warming Soul has been revived, it’s time for me to leave.”

“Go on.”

Liao Cang Qiong waved his hand. “Remember, don’t stress yourself out too much. It’s okay if you don’t find what we want.”

The others said the same thing and asked Ling Xan not to stress himself over the other three heavenly treasures.

Ling Xian felt a flush of warmth. Then, he left the Painting of the Nine Immortals.

…

Inside the dark and eerier cave, Ling Xian opened his eyes and a flash of white light dashed beneath his lids.

“The situation with the Tree of the Warming Soul is over. The other three items will be my long-term goal. The short-term goal is to transform my Qi. Or else I cannot fight against those Heaven’s Favorites.”

Ling Xian mumbled. After fighting against the Goddess of Battles, he now realizes that he is not lacking next to the real Heaven’s Favorites. In terms of physique, he may even be better than Su Li Yu and the others.

However, because his spiritual energy is dormant, his real fighting abilities will actually turn out stronger than the Goddess of Battles.

Therefore, Ling Xian really wanted his spiritual energy to successfully transform. Only then, will he gain the ability to fight against the top-notch Heaven’s Favorites!

Only then, will he be able to step onto the largest stage in Tianzhou or even the largest stage of the entire community!

“The Nirvana Fountain of Real Phoenixes is a place I have to find.”

Ling Xian’s hands tightened into fists and his gaze turned determined. However, it wasn’t time for him to consider this matter. Right now he should focus on getting more fortunes from the Great Mausoleum.

“When I parted ways with Fairy Wu, she said I need to go to a place called the Cliff of Treasure Division. Its name alone tells me there are many treasures there.”

Remembering what Fairy Wu said, Ling Xian revealed a faint smile. “Then let me go and check out just what kind of treasures the Cliff of Treasure Division has. And just how we can divide the treasures.”

Then, he tore open space and disappeared from the cave.

When he reappeared, he was already in midair and headed in the northwest direction.

His destination was the Cliff of Treasure Division!
