Painting of the Nine Immortals-Chapter 981 - The Primitive Text

Translator: _Tat_ Editor: Rundi

The night was dark like ink and the moon hung high in the sky.

Inside a mysterious cave, Ling Xian flashed a smile and admired the tri-colored flower in his hand.

It had three different colors that were emitting gentle light and were looking rhythmically strange and mysterious.

This made the Goddess of Battles and Huang Jiu Ge’s eyes heat up. They stared at this strange flower with nothing but desire.

Based on what Yuan Wu Tian Jun had said, there was a cosmic technique here. Now that this flower was right before them, why wouldn’t they be feeling strong desires?

Ling Xian was full of anticipation and smiled, “This trip was worth it.”

“Yeah. I am guessing that right now, Zhan Cang Sheng and the others are probably stomping their feet.” The Goddess of Battles grinned.

“I don’t know about others, but I know Zhan Cang Sheng is.’ Ling Xian squinted and remembered Zhan Chang Sheng’s immortal battle bone. He was a little confused.

To know that each immortal bone is unique and once someone acquires it, someone else can’t get it as well. Yet Zhan Cang Sheng had it. Of course, this confused him.

But right now, it was more urgent for him to figure out the secret regarding the strange tri-colored flower.

So Ling Xian put a pin in this and focused on the tri-colored flower.

The Goddess and Battles and Huang Jiu Ge’s gaze turned even more heated.

“Next, let’s figure out what’s hidden inside this strange flower.”

Ling Xian smiled gently and the space between his brows lit up. An enlivener broke out. Immediately, light exploded around the room, making the entire place as bright as day time.

Then, the tri-colored flower began to shine brightly as well. Red, blue, and green were pulsing and looking dazzling.

This made the Goddess of Battles and Huang Jiu Ge even more expectant. They stared at the flower without shifting their gaze at all.

Ling Xian did the same.

But after some time, a bright voice arose. It belonged to Yuan Wu Tian Jun.

“I spent my entire life walking across the nine continents and becoming an omnipotent. What I relied on was this cosmic technique. If someone manages to acquire it, please practice it for the rest of your life. You cannot waste the power that is this technique.”

These words brightened Ling Xian’s eyes. Then, he saw the tri-colored flower spinning around and an ancient gold character emerged. At once, the spirit of a Dao filled the cave.

More and more ancient characters appeared, all of which were profound and explained in detail the guidance of the heavens and the meaning of the universe. It was as deep as words can get. However, Ling Xian didn’t recognize those characters. There was merely a strange wave of power around those ancient words that somehow made him understand.

It was like an omnipotent was right by him, explaining everything to him, telling him what these words mean.

At once, Ling Xian appeared to be in a pleasant mood as he entered enlightenment.

The Goddess of Battles and Huang Jiu Ge were no different.

The Primitive Text.

That was the name of this cosmic technique. It gave everyone a feeling of greatness and profoundness.

The content of it was even more difficult to comprehend, like the galaxy or the ocean. Even with Ling Xian’s enlightenment ability, he wasn’t going to understand this in a short amount of time.

However, based on what this technique was saying, once one reaches the highest level of this technique, one can become undefeatable in the world and become indestructible!

Ling Xian did not question this at all.

All because this is a cosmic technique, the highest level of technique in this world that uses Dao directly!

Therefore, he concentrated and truly did his best to understand the mysteries in this.

After some time, Ling Xian slowly opened his eyes and he exclaimed uncontrollably, “This is a cosmic technique after all. It’s truly enigmatic like the ocean and unfathomable like Daos.”

Then, those gold words slowly disappeared, taking with it the tri-colored flower.

This meant nobody in this world will see the cosmic technique now. It is gone from the world completely.

Ling Xian didn’t try to stop this.

He had imprinted those gold words into his mind, not at all worried that time will wash them away. Therefore, it was better for the tri-colored flower to disappear. It would prevent unnecessary problems.

“Yeah, this is deep.”

The Goddess of Battles opened her eyes and exclaimed, “I have encountered so many great techniques but I have never seen something as mysterious as that. No wonder it is a cosmic one.”

“That’s right.”

Ling Xian nodded, “But I wonder if you realized that it is not complete.”

“I realized, a portion is missing.”

The Goddess of Battles sighed softly, “While we can still practice it and while it is still powerful, I think without the other portion, this cosmic technique cannot be used to its full potential.”

“I think so as well.”

Ling Xian nodded. He had realized that this technique wasn’t complete. A chunk of it was missing.

“Whatever. To acquire a cosmic technique is already a blessing. Why seek trouble?”

The Goddess of Battles smiled brightly. “Plus, Yuan Tian Tian Jun had said, he used this cosmic technique to successfully walk across the continents. In other words, even though incomplete, it remains astonishing. It should be enough to carry us up to the next level of cultivation.”

“Exactly. This trip has been worthy.”

After listening to what the Goddess of Battles said, Ling Xian grinned happily.

Yuan Wu Tian Jun borrowed power from this technique to become an omnipotent and dominated the nine continents. This indicates that even though the cosmic technique is incomplete, it’s extremely powerful!

Therefore, why wouldn’t Ling Xian be happy?

However, he also silently vowed that he will make this cosmic technique flawless and complete!

“Oh, I wonder how much you enlightened yourself with?” The Goddess of Battles looked over to Ling Xian.

“Ugh…”

Ling Xian was silent for a while and said troublesomely, “Aye, this technique is too difficult. I only enlightened one to two percent.”

“One to two…”

The Goddess of Battles looked bitter as if beaten down by Ling Xian. Especially after seeing how sad he looked and how dissatisfied he was with this number, she felt even more crushed.

“You are so lucky and you don’t even know it. You aren’t even happy with one to two percent?”

The Goddess of Battle’s teeth hurt at this, “You know I only enlightened 0.5 percent of it!”

“Half a percent?”

Ling Xian was startled. He didn’t think that with the Goddess of Battles’ abilities, she would have only enlightened half a percent. But after remembering how profound the cosmic technique is, he understood.

And he didn’t feel so terrible about himself anymore.

If even the Goddess of Battles only understood half a percent of it, his one to two percent was something unbelievable.

“You truly are a monster.”

The Goddess of Battles softly sighed. “Since we acquired the cosmic technique, it’s time for me to find a place to cultivate now and attempt to transform my Qi.”

“Then I shall wish you luck.” Ling Xian smiled.

“I sure hope it will go well.”

The Goddess of Battles gave Ling Xian a deep look. “This isolation will last around half a year or so. By the time I come out, the Competition of Heaven’s Favorites would have begun. Then, you will be my opponent.”

“That’s right, the next time I see you, you and I will meet inside the battle ring.”

Ling Xian softly nodded and joked, “What is it? Are you sad that we will soon be enemies?”

“That joke isn’t funny.”

The Goddess of Battles glared at Ling Xian, “I just want to remind you to try not to lose. Or else it would be embarrassing for you.”

“Don’t worry, I won’t hold back.”

Ling Xian chuckled but suddenly remembered something. “Wait, I have a few questions to ask you.”
