He immediately identified it to be Chu Zhong Tian's message .
Because this message could only be send under the circumstance that the sender and the receiver of the message shared spiritual energy .
The only person Ling Xian had ever shared his spiritual with, was Chu Zhong Tian . Because he wanted to know about the City of Sin at any time .
After all, that land belonged to him . As a owner, how could he not care?
Therefore, when he sensed that someone was sending him a message, he immediately thought of Chu Zhong Tian . Then, his lips curled into a faint smile . Because he thought Chu Zhong Tian had discovered the city's secret and that was why he was sending a message .
However, when he heard the message, he began to frown .
As he had guessed, it really was Chu Zhong Tian's message . The content of it however, was not what he thought it would be .
Come at once .
That was Chu Zhong Tian's message . Those were all the words . Those words expressed the urgency of the matter .
"What happened?"
Ling Xian frowned . He thought Chu Zhong Tian had discovered the secrets about the Guardian City . He didn't think the message would contain only those words .
The words had great urgency about them . The moment someone hears it, they would think that the other party was in trouble .
"It's been more than a decade and Chu Zhong Tian never contacted me . Yet now, he is reaching out . It seems like something had happened . "
Ling Xian softly sighed . He had a bad premonition .
Noticing his behavior, Yu Wu Xiu's eyes flickered . "It looks like you are in trouble . "
"Curiosity killed the cat . Just mind your own business . " Ling Xian glared at the woman . Though he had a bad premonition, with his mentality, why would he be flustered?
"Hmmph!" Yu Wu Xiu hissed but stopped commenting .
After the series of events that just happened, Ling Xian's position in her heart had flew way up . And now, she had pretty much become his slave, why would she dare to behave irrationally?
"It looks like you are very unsatisfied with me . " Ling Xian spoke lightly . His tone was like the north wind, cold to the bones .
Immediately, Yu Wu Xiu shuddered and lowered her head, "I don't dare . "
"That's for the best . "
Ling Xian glared at her and suddenly remembered something, "If everyone found out that their highness turned into a slave, I wonder how they would react . "
Hearing this, Yu Wu Xiu's hands tightened, then powerlessly relaxed .
If other people knew that this proud woman turned into someone else's slave, then her entire face would be lost . Therefore, she gritted her teeth, "I am warning you, if you make this entire event known, I will drag you down with me . "
"I have placed a prohibition spell in you . If I want to, I can kill you instantly . There is no chance for you to go down with me . "
Ling Xian teased but quickly wiped the smirk off his face . "Okay, I am done with you . Be quiet . "
Then, he began to think about his next steps .
Since Chu Zhong Tian had sent him a message, that means no matter what, he had to pay him a visit . Or else his land and his subordinates might all be gone before he knows it .
But he was at the Cliff of Enlightenment right now and he had one more day to be there . If he leaves now, then he would be wasting a great opportunity .
"I will wait a day . Nothing bad can happen in one day . "
After thinking about it, Ling Xian decided that he would head to the City of Sin after he was done there . After all, this opportunity was a rare one that he cannot just forego .
After making up his mind, he refocused on the writings before him and his expression turned serious .
"I have to be efficient and head over to the City of Sin . "
Mumbling, Ling Xian concentrated his spiritual energy and placed his palm on the wall of the mountain .
Immediately, a crack appeared and he tightly grasped onto it . Then, he focused on understanding the messages before him .
This time, his speed of enlightenment was a little slower . Perhaps it was because this technique was more powerful, but it took him an entire half an hour to just learn its name .
The Thunderous Flee .
Just like its name indicated, this technique was used to escape . It was used by cultivators when their life was on the line . In the Taoism community, escape art was a valuable and rare form of art . Its value was similar to offensive and attacking techniques .
Though this technique in particular was relatively lower in realm, its value did not lack next to the other techniques .
Therefore, after Ling Xian realized that this technique was a great one, he immediately grinned from ear to ear .
Though he had the Winged Blitz, it lacked explosive properties . At a critical moment between life and death, it would appear a little slow .
But if he learns this technique, then he could use this technique first for explosive speed before using the Winged Blitz to fly further . Doing so will ensure his speed is near perfection .
"I've been wanting to learn about something like this for a long time . But escape techniques are far too valuable and I've never encountered one . Now, I have the Thunderous Flee before me, this trip sure is worth it . "
Smiling, Ling Xian concentrated all his energy to understand this technique .
Just like that, time passed by little by little .
Yu Wu Xiu was watching him study this technique and her face became extremely complex .
There was hatred, curiosity, and helplessness .
"Aye, I was 90% certain I was going to use him to get on my path of glory . I cannot believe that I have failed and have even given up my own life . "
After sighing a long sigh, Yu Wu Xiu was bitter in the face and thought her future was dim .
But there was nothing she could do . She could only pray and ask Ling Xian to not overdo it .
"Xian Ling, I will remember this humiliation and I will return it to you in multiples . "
Yu Wu Xiu's eyes was steady and stern . She silently vowed to break the inhibition spell in her and avenge herself .
As she thought about it, she picked up the now dark Pearl of Opportunity before leaning against the wall beside her and closing her eyes .
Logically speaking, when a cultivator comes to the Cliff of Enlightenment, they would use all their time to study the knowledge . However, she came with the sole purpose of stealing Ling Xian's talent . Plus, she was a highness, and had access to all techniques .
Thus, she didn't try to learn something new . Instead, she pondered over how she could get rid of her inhibition spell .
Just like that, the two of them focused on enlightening themselves .
At once, the cave quieted down . The two of them didn't interrupt each other and minded their own businesses .
After around three hours, Ling Xian opened his eyes slowly and revealed a joyous smile .
After three hours, he had thoroughly learned the Thunderous Flee and could now successfully perform it . That was definitely an achievement .
After all, that was a rare escape art that could make anyone happy .
After he opened his eyes, Yu Wu Xiu opened her eyes as well . Her beautiful eyes flashed with shock .
Because she felt the crack in the wall disappear . Not an intermittent pause, but an utter disappearance . This meant the technique that it contained had been successfully obtained by Ling Xian .
Remember that it was no easy feat to learn any technique, let alone a very difficult escape technique . For anyone else, this would've taken at least 10 days to half a month .
Yet Ling Xian merely needed three hours . This once again proved his strong enlightenment abilities .
This made Yu Wu Xiu extremely shocked!
"Three hours… he only needed three hours… how beast at enlightening is he?"
Yu Wu Xiu was in utter shock . Other than disbelief, her face was naked with greed .
This enlightenment speed, this talent… all of this was fatally tempting to her .
After remembering the terror of this person however, she felt like cold water was poured onto her . She knew that there was no way for her to steal Ling Xian's talent . At least not in the short while .
"You are my servant now and you still dare to have ill intentions towards me . You sure do not give up . "
Ling Xian spoke softly, "Yu Wu Xiu, you better behave yourself . Or else I will not treat you well . "
The last statement was expressed with killer's intent . It made Yu Wu Xiu shudder and she no longer dared to look greedy .
At this, Ling Xian stopped paying attention to her . After all, he had a tight timeline .
Thus, he once again placed his palm onto the wall and decided to learn another technique with the remainder of his time .
This time, he encountered a defensive technique . This technique allowed the cultivator to form a layer of light barrier . It was known as one of the greatest techniques .
"A defensive technique? Perfect, it will complement my Armor of Royal Spirits . "
Ling Xian softly smiled, very satisfied with this technique . Then, he began to suspend in midair and began to learn this technique named Aurora Light .
Time flew by again . After around half an hour, he slowly opened his eyes and a flash of light dashed under his eyes .
"It attracts the spiritual energy from heaven and earth and converges the energy from the Sun and the Moon . "
Mumbling, Ling Xian formed a hand seal and used this technique .
Instantly, a milky white barrier began to bubble and it trapped him inside . Though it didn't look very strong, Ling Xian could feel that its defensive ability was not ordinary .
Even if he does nothing and an equal leveled powerhouse hits him continuously, it will take a while to break it .
Looking at the barrier Ling Xian formed, Yu Wu Xiu frowned and then she remembered something . She couldn't help but shout, "The Aurora Light! I can't believe you acquired this technique!"
"Oh?"
Ling Xian raised an eyebrow . "Seeing that you are surprised, this technique has a story . "
"You sure are lucky . "
Yu Wu Xiu's eyes flashed with jealousy, "This technique has a long history . It is created by one of the omnipotent from the Shang Qing Sect . It's got incredible defensive abilities . "
Pausing, she continued, "However, for reasons never disclosed, that ancestor never passed down this technique . It is one of the biggest regret of the Shang Qing Sect . I cannot believe that elderly left this technique behind here . "
"It looks like I got myself some decent techniques . " Ling Xian nodded in satisfied .
Yu Wu Xiu shook her head and said something that interested Ling Xian .
"If it was just decent, I wouldn't have shouted out loud . "
