Chapter 70: Since the Ti Editor: - -

Inside the Painting of the Nine I Xian appeared slenderer and scruffier compared to his usual self His hair danced wildly in the belloind, a splendid luminosity radiated from his body and lit up thehis hands tightly and feeling an enor Xian let out a satisfying grin

Froeneration, the process only took 13 months, an inconceivable achievee cultivator to need a full decade to reach the ninth realht and ambition to reach the Perfect Real out of order, such as consurowth instead

However, it only took Ling Xian one year to conquer the Perfect Realm What an unthinkable feat

Mainly because the tih to the Perfect Realress through all nine real Xian, will hide no azed far into the horizon, his eyes bea with excitement and determination

He had always tried to hide the true extent of his powers, such as the Eyes of Execution

He had been too weak If his powers had becoers whom he was not certain he could defeat

But today, he was half a step away fro the foundational level of Alche, no one would be foolish enough to take on his challenge

“One day, I’ll conquer the Nine Heavens and rule theainst his hair A proud, al a the Nine Heavens, that’s easier said than done” The voice of the Keeper of Land and Sea echoed in his ear as her figure glided through the shadows

Her face was as flawless as a painting, her dress virgin white, her expression icy as usual

Her beauty could conquer kings and nations Silently, Ling Xian exclaimed…

[The Untainted is truly untainted]

“Your natural talent truly a Xian detected a hint of shock He amazed her

“Not at all Fortune has favored me If I hadn’t encountered my Master, I would have lived an unexceptional life until the end,” Ling Xian responded humbly

“You are too humble Fortune is a part of it,” The Untainted continued, “but the journey of a cultivator cannot be written with only born talent Can you guess what people had said toXian responded honestly

“They told h to the foundational level” The Keeper reminisced with a sense of sadness

“What?”

Ling Xian was flabbergasted This woman was the Keeper of Land and Sea, the savior of huly?

“You heard correctly That is what they said,” The Untainted said peacefully “I was not born exceptionally talented Actually, I showed less talent than most It would have been difficult”

“And then?” Ling Xian was beyond curious

“I refused to resign myself to fate My dreaave h the ninth realardless of how hard I tried” Her voice began to tremble, but ever so faintly

“Until one day, I stued ical Although it couldn’t alter my nature or talent, it did help an splitting ony day after day The type of pain I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy”

“But for my dream, I persisted And I became the Keeper of Land and Sea” The Untainted shi+fted her attention back to Ling Xian and continued, “I tell you these so you could understand, talent is a blessing, but persistence is a necessity Your success depends on it”

“That was not an inspirational story, that was a cruel story” Ling Xian sently “You owe your success to that book Without it, your persistence alone would not have been enough to propel you through the Nine Heavens and to become ruler of the earth”

“Well…” The Untainted was taken aback by this slightly twisted but honest judg Xian’s born talent was extraordinary, and he knew it But arrogance was a quality of a villain She needed to teach him what truly ed by him so honestly

However, after some consideration, she decided his response wasn’t entirely unjustified

Iron will, resilience, none of that would have mattered if she never chanced upon the book
