Chapter 923: The Lock of Eternity

Translator: _Tat_  Editor: Rundi

At the Lake of the Resting Soul, Gong Suo Xin landed softly, similar to how a Goddess would land – beautiful and graceful.

Her gaze was swirling around and there was a soft grin on her lips. She was expressive and had the ability to snatch souls.

“You are here.”

Ling Xian smiled, “It’s time for me to call you Clan Leader Wang now isn’t it?”

“No, my last name is still Gong.”

Gong Suo Xin organized her bangs, “My surname will always be Gong. I want to humiliate those from the Wang Clan.”

Hearing this, Ling Xian shook his head softly, “I bet the elders ended up in pitiful situations.”

“I sent them all to the different areas possessed by the Wang Clan. Of course, they are all working for lands that have no liquidity. I don’t want them to gain anything.”

Gong Suo Xin described the situation very lightly, making Ling Xian speechless.

Remember that those people were figures who have always stood high above others. They have been honored and entrusted. Yet now, they have been assigned to different areas of unprofitable land, which was the same as placing them into cold palaces.

The palaces that get no sunlight nor warmth. This punishment was an extremely cruel one.

“Though these people never participated in what happened back then, they all gave up on me. To me, their punishment is light.” Gong Suo Xin expressed a cold grin.

“I understand.”

Ling Xian said softly. Though he wasn’t sure what happened back then, he could feel Gong Suo Xin’s hatred.

“Today is really all thanks to you. If you didn’t agree to lend a helping hand, even with third grandpa’s support, I wouldn’t have been able to get the Clan Leader seat.”

Gong Suo Xin’s eyes were brimming with happiness and she continued to smile, “How about, I pay you with my body? I don’t know how else I can repay you.”

“There’s no need for that. Since I encountered it, how can I just ignore it?”

Ling Xian waved his hand and bitterly smiled. “But you need to be careful from now on. Those on the elder in the black’s side will not give up so easily.”

“I understand. He is probably jolting in anger right now and planning on how to get rid of me without leaving a trace.”

Gong Suo Xin smiled brightly, “However, with the third grandpa here, he won’t dare go up against me. As for the dart he will throw in the dark, I will just have to be careful.”

“Yeah, no matter what, your capability is just…” Ling Xian bitterly chuckled and didn’t finish.

“Too weak?” Gong Suo Xin finished his sentence for him.

“Yeah. The first time I saw you, you were already at the foundational level. More than a decade has passed and you haven’t grown at all. Even I find that unbelievable.”

Ling Xian shook his head again. Honestly speaking, Gong Suo Xin, who held the manager position at the Liu Yun Pavilion, no matter how poorly talented, she should be able to get to the completion level with the help of Dans. She shouldn’t be stuck.

Therefore, he was confused.

“Confused? When I’m done speaking, you will understand.”

Gong Suo Xin looked a little reminiscent, “The Wang Clan has a superior bloodline and everyone is notable. My existence is an even superior one. When I was born, I triggered a natural phenomenon.”

“Phenomenon?”

Ling Xian paused, even more confused now. Normally speaking, all those who can trigger a phenomenon has extraordinary talent. Why was she stuck at the foundational level?

“That’s right.”

Gong Suo Xin nodded softly, “When I was born, I triggered a natural phenomenon and I was then regarded as the hope to continue the Wang Clan’s glory. I was seen highly by everyone. when I turned 12, I reached the foundational level without the help of any spiritual medicine. I even reached the undefeatable realm.”

“That was the year the elder in black made his move against my father. Back then, my third grandpa was venturing out in the world and wasn’t at the clan. Therefore, the elder in black so easily killed my father and helped his son get the Clan Leader seat.”

“And I was able to escape the Wang Clan under several royal servants. However, I was cursed. I will forever be stuck at the level of cultivation I was at at the time. No matter how I cultivate, no matter what Dan I consume, it’s all useless.”

“This is why the first time you met me, I was at the foundational level, and today, I remain at the foundational level. It’s not that I was born unlucky. It’s that I was cursed to be stuck here.”

Gong Suo Xin retold her old tale. Her face was very calm, as if she wasn’t talking about herself, but about someone else.

Her eyes, however, were full of bone-deep hatred.

“Curse?”

Ling Xian frowned. Curses are all terrifying and extremely hard to get rid of. Once cursed, unless the specific and special method is found, there is no way of lifting it.

He found it very troublesome.

“Yes, it’s a curse called the Lock of Eternity.”

Gong Suo Xin smiled brightly. Seeing how worried Ling Xian looked, she consoled, “Don’t worry, this curse can be lifted by one of the Wang Clan’s holy treasures. However, only half can be lifted.”

“Half?”

Ling Xian frowned, “What are the details?”

“It can carry me straight to the original level. After all, I have accumulated much spiritual energy over the years.”

Gong Suo Xin faintly smiled, “As for my natural talent, it can likely only revive half of my original ability.”

“Half… original level. It is enough.”

Ling Xian nodded, “As for the Lock of Eternity curse, I will remember it and help you solve it.”

“There is no need to trouble you with that problem. You have helped me plenty already.”

Gong Suo Xin organized her bangs and smiled alluringly. “If you keep on helping me, I am afraid I can only repay you by giving myself to you.”

Hearing this, Ling Xian shook his head and bitterly grinned. He didn’t say anymore but he firmly remembered the Lock of Eternity.

“We can move on from this topic for now. This conclusion has exceeded my expectations. I should be satisfied.”

Gong Suo Xin smiled, “Let’s talk about the Lake of the Resting Soul.”

“So you still remember.” Ling Xian’s heart felt warm.

Gong Suo Xin rolled her eyes at him. “Of course I remember. Back then, you asked me about the Lake of the Resting Soul and I knew right away you had a big stomach. You wouldn’t be happy with just a few drops of it.”

“I indeed need an entire lake. A few drops isn’t useful to me.”

Ling Xian bitterly smiled again. It wasn’t that he was greedy, it was that a few drops won’t be able to help the immortals.

Only the Lake of the Resting Soul can become a pillar and form an endless magnetic field for their souls.

“I understand.”

Gong Suo Xin wiped off her smile. “But, there is no way you will get the Lake. It is the lifeline of the Wang Clan. Even if I am in control of the entire Clan, I cannot give it to you.”

“I understand. If you give it to me, your third grandpa wouldn’t be happy.”

Ling Xian nodded. The Lake of the Resting Soul is one of the pillars that hold up the Wang Clan and there is no way it could be given to an outsider. Even if Gong Suo Xin rules everything here, she cannot disregard the entire Clan.

However, as much as he understands this, he remained disappointed.

Just as he was at the edge of hopelessness, Gong Suo Xin smiled mischievously. She then made a statement that stunned Ling Xian.

“I obviously cannot give you the entire Lake of the Resting Soul. But, if you kiss me, I can gift you half.”
