Painting of the Nine Immortals

Translator: _Tat_ Editor: Rundi

Below the Cliff of Treasure Division, everyone was shaking their heads. They didn't think highly of Ling Xian.

That was something obvious. For someone without Qi, how can he pass the seventh test behind the stone door?

That was impossible!

Even though he has shocked everyone just now and everyone knows how powerful Ling Xian is, they still didn't think highly of him.

As for the three pureblood noble kinds, they were acting with full contempt and mockery. They were certain that he will be stuck behind the seventh door and he may even get killed.

"He is a dead man. No matter how powerful he is, there is no way he can make something out of nothing. I can't wait for the moment he experiences failure and punishment."

"I hope he gets killed straight away. Even if he survives, I will hop in and kill him."

"That's for the best. I want to personally crush his skull and chop him into pieces."

The three pureblood beings laughed. They were looking at Ling Xian with much mockery and killer's intent.

Ling Xian was completely unaware of their words and everyone else's reaction.

As others have said, he was in trouble.

Before him stood a stone monument. It looked like a heavenly object that tests one's Qi. Normally, with him achieving the undefeatable realm of three levels, he could easily pass.

But he had no Qi right now. How can he pass this test?

"It looks like this may be the end."

Ling Xian helpless grinned. But suddenly, he realized this monument was testing his spiritual energy. It wasn't that he had none, it was that he couldn't use it.

If he can let the monument know that his Qi was merely dormant, then shouldn't he be able to pass here?

Thinking about it made his lips curl up. He arrived before the monument, then he placed both hands on top of it to see if the object can sense the Qi within him.

The result made him ecstatic.

The moment his hands touched the monument, the monument emitted much light. A strange and mysterious force also entered his body.

Then, heavenly energy shot through the cloud and the monument trembled. Following it was a loud HOMM sound and this monument broke into an infinite number of pieces.

Ling Xian's silhouette also slowly disappeared and he reappeared before the eighth door.

This scene shocked everyone!

Both normal Heaven's Favorites and top-rated geniuses, their expressions were sluggish and full of disbelief. Then, the entire place was filled with gasps.

"Is this a joke? I thought he doesn't have Qi? How did he pass?"

"Is that monument broken? I didn't see him use his Qi, why did it crumble?"

"I am either hallucinating or the monument has issues."

Everyone chimed in and none of them could accept this harsh reality. They all know that Ling Xian has no spiritual energy. For someone without it, how was he able to crack the monument?

Different than these people, the Goddess of Battles and others at her level were silent.

They knew more than others and all thought of one possibility.

Therefore, these Heaven's Favorites all revealed their astonishment. First of all, they didn't think Ling Xian could get through this level. Second of all, they didn't think his spiritual energy was strong enough to crush the monument!

"This stone monument definitely has issues. He shouldn't have been able to pass." The canine of hell pretended to be calm but its eyes were flickering with awe.

"Are you lying to the demons?"

The Goddess of Battles glared at it. Then her Qi surrounded the entire place and suppressed all questioning voices.

"Everyone shut up! If you don't understand what's going on, then don't talk!"

The Goddess of Battles coldly glanced over. "Everyone who has entered knows that the monument isn't to be struck by Qi. It has mysterious energy that can sense the incomer's level of Qi and determine if one passes."

"In other words, it's not that this person doesn't have Qi, he merely cannot use it."

"For this to happen, I bet most people here know it is because it's in the middle of a metamorphosis. Only the most talented and blessed cultivators can transform their Qi!"

"After the previous few rounds, we all know that he is a Heaven's Favorites who has reached three undefeatable realms. That plus a transforming Qi means his spiritual energy is at the very extreme of the original level. If someone as talented as him cannot pass this test, then the monument would be broken."

The Goddess of Battles was merciless and uttered out a statement that shocked everyone.

"Now you know, the one you are all mocking is a true Heaven's Favorite. Against the seventh stone door, he doesn't need to worry for even a second!"

Those words silenced the crowd.

Everyone's eyes widened as they felt shock wash over them.

Many of them had extraordinary backgrounds and knew very well what a transforming Qi meant. They were even more aware of how difficult it was for one's Qi to even transform.

To put it bluntly, it meant only the most extraordinarily talented ones can do this! It was unbelievable!

Most people cannot encounter this in their lifetime, not even once. Even those in the fifth level can rarely see this!

Therefore, giant turmoil was rolling in everyone's mind. Even Su Li Yu and others were utterly shocked at this.

As for the three pureblood noble kinds, they could no longer conceal their shock and mockery froze on their faces.

Not long ago, they were certain that Ling Xian would not be able to pass the seventh level. Yet now, not only did he pass it so easily, he even crushed the monument and displayed his unparalleled spiritual energy!

This was without a doubt, a bright slap that landed on their faces!

"Dammit, this man!"

The canine of hell cursed. It felt heat on its face. The seven-headed serpent and the sky howling tiger reacted the same. Their mocking expressions completely disappeared off their faces and surprise replaced it.

Extreme surprise!

Transformative Qi! This is an opportunity they've never encountered!

As much as they were surprised, they were also jealous. Then, they turned their jealousy into more taunting.

"Hmmph, so what? So what he passed the seventh level? I do not believe he will get through alchemy, array, and crafts!"

"That's right. If he fails another time, then even if he survives death, he will be heavily injured. When that happens, we will make our move and handicap him!"

"Haha, that's right. We'll make sure he dies!"

The three noble kinds remained contemptuous. They firmly believed there was no way Ling Xian would get pass the next three levels and they have decided to kill him after he fails.

The result slapped them in their faces.

In the mirror, Ling Xian instantaneously formed an array and displayed master-level array ability. He easily passed the eighth test.

Then, he called out to his cauldron and revealed a level of alchemy ability that normally only the best could display. Then, he easily passed the ninth test.

Finally, Ling Xian used his finger as a pen and easily answered the difficult question posed by the crafts test, passing it.

The three levels for arrays, crafts, and alchemy were passed by him within 10 seconds!

This was like three harsh slaps landing on the three pureblood noble kinds' faces. They were dumbfounded from the slaps.

At the same time, his action acted like heavenly drums that pounded everyone's heart and surprised them to their own extremes!
