Chapter 686: The Cliff of Enlightenment

Translator: _Tat_  Editor: Rundi

The Cliff of Enlightenment was located south of the Shang Qing Sect. It was equivalent to Heaven for the locals.

Therefore, the borders were never easily opened. Even the places around it have many restrictions.

Only those with the Token of Enlightenment were allowed to enter and enjoy everything the place had to offer.

Currently, the Sun had just rose, shedding down gold light that reflected off the mountain ranges.

Ling Xian rode the clouds to get there.

His white robe was fluttering in the wind and his black hair was tussling. He looked just like a real immortal; out of the world and extremely talented.

Just as he was getting ready to land on top of a mountain peak. His entire being was suddenly tied down by a strange force and he couldn’t move even an inch.

However, Ling Xian was not flustered. He knew very well that an important place like the Cliff of Enlightenment was heavily guarded.

Thus, he merely smiled. And took out the four Tokens of Enlightenments from his storage pouch.

Just then, a questioning sound arose. Then, an elder wearing black appeared before Ling Xian.

This person had white hair and a white beard, looking old but casual. His eyes were sharp like a hawk and very sensitive. The Qi he was emitting was also as profound as the ocean.

“This person is likely an original leveled cultivator.”

Ling Xian murmured to himself and held the Token of Enlightenment high into the sky, “I am Xian Ling, here to enter the Cliff of Enlightenment.”

“Four of the highest ranked Tokens of Enlightenment. Interesting.”

Looking at the four black tokens, the elderly was somewhat shocked. He didn’t think this ordinary looking young man would get the opportunity to spend four days inside the Cliff of Enlightenment.

He has been protecting this land for centuries and had never seen four highest ranked tokens at once. Naturally he was surprised, or even astonished.

After all, it meant he had four days inside the Cliff.

“I have been lucky and have been rewarded by my seniors greatly.” Ling Xian smiled.

“The Token of Enlightenment is never wasted on anyone. Even the son of the Supreme Headmaster cannot get it unless he is deserving.”

The elderly shook his head. “You must have great abilities. Or else there would be no way you are given four tokens, let alone tokens of the highest rank.”

Hearing this, Ling Xian smiled but didn’t say anything.

The elder didn’t ask. His job was to stop people who try to enter without tokens. If someone was visiting under proper orders, he was not responsible to ask why or where he came from.

“I won’t say much more. I just want to ask you, do you plan on using all four tokens at once?” The elder asked, his expression was serious.

Ling Xian nodded, “Yes, please allow me to enter.”

“Okay, hand over the tokens then.”

The elder spoke softly and rolled up his sleeps and dropped the four tokens into his pouch. Then, a pile of spiritual rocks began to suspend in midair, taking on the shape of a mountain.

Immediately, a dizzying amount of light began to dissipate. It was bright enough to compete with the undying sun.

Roughly estimating, there were a hundred thousand of them. Without exceptions, they were all highly ranked spiritual stones.

At this, Ling Xian was a little shocked, “Senior, this is the price you have to pay to activate the Cliff of Enlightenment?”

“Yes, but the spiritual stones you are seeing are not even enough.” The elder softly grinned. He flapped around his sleeve and 10 expensive ingredients appeared before him.

At this, the shock in Ling Xian’s eyes intensified. He didn’t know activating the Cliff of Enlightenment required such a high price.

After thinking about it for a while however, he felt like it was reasonable. If it was that easy to activate it, then the Shang Qing Sect would be the most capable Sect in the world.

“How wonderful would it be if it didn’t cost so much to activate the Cliff of Enlightenment.” The elder softly sighed and his expression turned serious.

“Alright, I am activating it now.”

The elder spoke softly and formed a hand seal. Then, the spiritual stones in the air began to disappear at a speed that could be seen by the naked eye. The 10 expensive and rare ingredients all disappearead as well, as if they were being sucked in by an unknown force.

After paying the high price, a strangely powerful wave of pressure began to extend from the elderly’s hand. The force circled around the mountain ranges.

“Cliff of Enlightenment, activate!”

Shouting, the elderly’s body exploded with heavenly light. His original leveled cultivation plus his strange hand seal turned into a wave of power.

Just then, under Ling Xian’s shocked gaze, the ground began to rumble and a mountain began to rise from the ground.

This mountain grew to be very tall. It rose until it began to look like a sword that was stabbed into the ground. The moment it appeared, it gave off the aura that an immortal was near.

It was the legendary Cliff of Enlightenment.

Seeing this, Ling Xian’s gaze turned even more passionate. He was getting impatient.

“This is the mountain peak that everyone longs after.”

After activating the Cliff of Enlightenment, the elder became weak. There was sweat forming on his forehead.

This shocked Ling Xian. Remember that this person was of the original level!

To activate the Cliff of Enlightenment, not only did they pay with so many spiritual stones and ingredients, even the elder himself became weak. All these factors have proven how difficult it was to access the Cliff of Enlightenment.

Therefore, Ling Xian smiled with his lips stretched wide. “Thank you senior for helping.”

“It is my responsibility. There is no need to thank me.”

The elder brandished his hand and grinned. “Go on in. Don’t waste this rare opportunity.”

“I know.” Ling Xian nodded.

Even if he could only spend an hour in there, it would still be a great opportunity that most people could never find. To be able to spend as long as four days inside was something even those of the management level cannot acquire. He naturally had to treasure it.

“Go on. The moment you enter, the Cliff will begin its timer. The moment four days have passed, you will be transported out automatically.” The elderly reminded.

Ling Xian nodded softly. Then, in a flash, he dashed towards the peak of the mountain.

Before long, he landed on top of the Cliff of Enlightenment.

The moment he landed, an transparent barrier formed all around him and they emitted strong vibrations. This barrier was an array set in place to get rid of all outside noise and interruptions. It would make whoever inside invisible to those on the outside.

Ling Xian nodded in satisfaction. He was a big player in the Array field and naturally understood how powerful this array was. To put it bluntly, even those of the original level cannot sense his Qi now.

In other words, no matter what he does now, people on the outside won’t know. On top of that, he was protected by that elder so even if he allows himself to be in the vulnerable state of enlightenment, he wouldn’t need to worry about being in danger.

“Okay. Let me walk around a little.”

Smiling, Ling Xian began to observe everything around him. He saw that the space above the mountain was extremely big and there was a giant cave in the mountain.

On the walls of the cave were carvings that were left behind by historical figures.

His eyes brightened. He felt like he had found a treasure.

To him, the most important thing wasn’t techniques. Don’t forget, he had both the Eyes of Execution and the Unparalleled Disorder Conquering Fists. These two techniques alone can ensure his dominance in the world.

Therefore, what he wanted the most was experiences and lessons passed down by his seniors.

After all, his cultivation level was now at the peak of the completion level. He needed to try and break through to the undefeatable realm of the completion level next. He had no idea how to achieve that.

This was why he wanted to find ways for him to breakthrough to the next level or acquire some lessons passed down by the seniors.

“Let me pace around and see if there is something I can learn from.”

After making that decision, Ling Xian disappeared. When he reappeared, he was already at the foot of the mountain.

Then, he began to scan the mountain up and down. He found many many carvings left behind.

The characters on the mountain were blunt. Thus he didn’t require much enlightening abilities to understand what lessons they were trying to pass down.

However, what he read were only useful for those of the meditational level.

But, Ling Xian was not disappointed. This mountain was full of lessons to be learned. He would definitely find something useful.

“I am in no rush to find techniques. Let me walk around more. Perhaps I can find some tricks and tips about breaking through to the undefeatable realm of the completion level.”

Ling Xian softly smiled and calmed himself down. His gaze continued to go up and down the mountains.

The words left behind by seniors flashed before his eyes and were imprinted in his heart. He immediately understood everything they were trying to say.

After all, he was naturally talented with extremely capable enlightenment abilities. Plus, all those words were blunt and easily understandable.

Though he had memorized all of this and all of these things were useful, none of this was what he came here.

After all, all these words were left behind by his seniors, they wouldn’t be utterly useless.

Thus, Ling Xian’s eyes shone brighter and brighter as he chewed on all the words he read.

Time passed by little by little. In the blink of an eye, it was the afternoon of the second day.

By now, Ling Xian had arrived at the middle of the mountain and had read hundreds of seniors’ thoughts and findings.

Though he never found what he came for, findings about the undefeatable realm of the completion level, he had learned some new things.

At the very least, he had learned more about cultivation and became more profound.

Ling Xian was very satisfied at this. He felt like choosing to participate in the competition was definitely the right decision. Or else he wouldn’t be where he was.

By the time he reached the middle of the mountain and saw a new passage, he again decided that this journey was so worth it.

The characters written on the mountain was emitting a knowledgeable aura. The moment someone sees what was written, one would realize just how valuable it is to be learning off of it.

Ling Xian was no exception.

The moment he saw the ancient characters, his eyes exploded with light that was as bright as the undying Sun.

Because the words were the words he was looking for. These were the words regarding the undefeatable realm of the completion level!
