The Volcano of Demons was one of the prohibited places inside the Shang Qing Sect. Even powerhouses at the Supreme Headmaster’s level did not dare to step inside easily.
Therefore, the surrounding areas of the volcano has always been very isolated and lifeless. There was only extreme heat that circles around the area for miles.
In other words, this place was an extremely terrifying place. Not only just on the inside, to be even around the volcano was something that was difficult and cannot be achieved by normal people.
To Ling Xian however, the Volcano of Demons was nothing. It wasn’t even harsh enough to make him frown.
This was all because he had the Fire Taming Pearl, which allowed him to surpass anything burning in the world. Even though the Pearl was imperfect and it only has half of its normal prowess, it was enough to defend against the Volcano of Demons.
Currently, Ling Xian had the Pearl above his head and was casually strolling inside the Volcano of Demons.
He wore a robe as white as snow and his temperament was similar to an immortal’s. The Fire Taming Pearl exaggerated his extraordinariness and enhanced his undefeatable temperament.
The terrifying flames were fading and retreating under the shine of the Flame Taming Pearl. Like a mouse who just saw a cat, they shrunk backwards and helped pave a path for Ling Xian.
Ling Xian walked on with his head held high. Every step he took, the flames around him darkened. The unusualness of the scenery was truly shocking and admirable.
Luckily, this place was the Volcano of Demons that everyone talks about. Other than this insane person who doesn’t think much of these flames, others wouldn’t dare to so easily step inside.
Or else if they were here and saw what was happening, their souls would be leaving their bodies!
This was the Volcano of Demons!
Even original leveled cultivators were somewhat afraid and wouldn’t dare to step inside easily. Yet here was Ling Xian, marching so casually and was so at ease. This was basically unbelievable!
“I hope I have a way to save that mysterious man.”
Ling Xian gawked towards the bottom of the volcano and revealed a soft grin. He quickened his pace and walked towards the deep end of the volcano.
His casual and relaxed behavior made it seem like he wasn’t walking inside the terrifying Volcano of Demons. Instead, it was like he was taking a walk inside his backyard.
Just like that, he glided onwards and his head was held up high. The flames around him retracted accordingly.
After some time, Ling Xian finally arrived at the bottom of the volcano. The moment he landed to the ground, he heard a whiny statement.
“It’s been more than 10 years and you never even brought me alcohol. You are not a man of your words.”
The mysterious fog dissipated, revealing a skinny man whose hair was in disarray.
His face was pale and his breathing was vague. There was a black chain around each of his shoulders that locked him down right where he stood.
The Dark Immortal Gold!
Similar to the Purple Immortal Gold, it was also an unmatchable immortal material that was legendary. If only offensive abilities are concerned, the Dark Immortal Gold is ranked near the end of the great nine immortal gold. But if prohibition abilities are considered, then it would definitely be top notch!
It was because of this reason that the two chains could trap this man for thousands of year. These chains have weakened him from much glory to weakness.
“I…”
Ling Xian smiled awkwardly. After he left the Volcano of Demons, he went to participate in the competition of the four paths. After that, he involved himself in a series of events. How could he have possibly found the time to bring this man wine?
“I am sorry. I have been very busy these years so I couldn’t fulfill our promise.” Ling Xian paid his respect.
“That don’t matter. I do not blame you.”
The mysterious man snuck a smile and his eyes shone with shock, “You are using your clone this time?”
“Senior you sure have good eyesight. This is definitely a clone.” Ling Xian softly smiled.
“Interesting. It’s not one of those clones with minimal fighting abilities. It’s a clone that could cultivate.”
The man’s eyes flashed with shock, “If I didn’t feel such a familiar energy, even I would’ve identified this clone to be a real person with real flesh.”
Ling Xian smiled. Then, he transitioned back into his original self.
If he wants to save the mysterious man, the clone’s capability isn’t enough. He needed to use his much more powerful original self.
After he finish transitioning, the mysterious man’s face flashed with surprised, “You… you reached the undefeatable realm of the completion level?”
“Senior, you sure are sharp. You are the first person to notice that I am of the undefeatable realm when I haven’t even released any Qi.”
Ling Xian softly grinned. His eyes flashed with shock.
He already knew that this man was powerful, or else he wouldn’t have been able to survive inside this volcano for thousands of years. This man was in a very weak position but he was still able to identify Ling Xian’s cultivation level straight away. This alone proves just how powerful he is.
To Ling Xian, the stronger the mysterious man, the better. After all, he was looking for support. Therefore, the stronger this man is, the more likely he will be able to succeed!
Thus, as much as Ling Xian was surprised, he was also very happy.
“What a talented cultivator. I already knew from 10 years ago that you are unparalleled in talent. But I truly did not think that you would enter the undefeatable realm of the completion level!”
The mysterious man’s gaze revealed how surprised he was, “Plus, I sense something unusual from you. It’s making my heart thump.”
“Even your heart is thumping?”
Ling Xian was a little startled. But quickly, he had a realization. The man was probably talking about the Immortal Bones inside his body. Thus, as much as he was astonished, he was excited.
If his Immortal Bone was even making this man’s heart thump, then just how powerful is the Immortal Bones inside his body?
Perhaps the man saw through his happiness, the man faintly grinned and explained, “It’s not really the powerfulness that’s impactful. It’s its soulfulness. If your completion leveled cultivation can threaten me, then the Taoism community would be all over the place.
Hearing this, Ling Xian wasn’t disappointed. Instead, his anticipation increased.
Of course he knew that the Immortal Bone inside him would not be able to threaten such a powerhouse. But to have been able to make his heart thump has proven that once his Immortal Bone is ready to reveal itself, a shocking amount of power will arrive!
“Alright, let us get down to business.”
The mysterious man faintly smiled. “You didn’t bring any good wine, you didn’t bring any good food. So why are you here? Don’t tell me you are planning on breaking through to the original level.”
“I have two goals for coming here. First of all, I wanted to repay my debt. You helped me suppress my inner demon after all.” Ling Xian smiled, his temperament was unparalleled.
“I told you, that was an easy thing for me to do. Why are you still bringing it up?”
The man shook his head, not thinking too much about it. “What about your second intention?”
“I am about to do something very dangerous. If I do something wrong, I will fall into a state of no reparation. Therefore, I want to find a supporter who can ensure nothing bad happens.”
Ling Xian wiped off his smile and his expression turned serious.
Hearing this, the mysterious man smiled. He rose his right hand with difficulty and pointed to himself.
“The support you are talking about… do you mean me?”
“You guessed it. It is you.” Ling Xian answered in a low voice.
“Haha, I am very glad that you see so highly of me.” The mysterious man guffawed so hard that the entire volcano shook.
“If I wasn’t trapped here, I would’ve helped you out with anything!”
The man laughed with his head held high in the sky. His black hair crazily blew in the wind, looking a little crazy.
“But I am basically a handicap right now. A handicap who is waiting for death! Do you know what that means? I have no ability to help you!”
“I understand. That is why…”
Looking at the laughing man, Ling Xian made a statement that silenced this entire area.
“I am going to get you out of here.”
