Chapter 970: A Strange Method

Translator: _Tat_ Editor: Rundi

Yuan Tian Tian Jun was an omnipotent. Even in the history of Tianzhou, he was famous.

According to ancient record, this person’s cultivation may be a cosmic technique. Though never confirmed, this guess has garnered everyone’s approval.

This is also not a secret. Therefore, all the inheritors from different forces converged at the First Prohibited Area in an attempt to steal the cosmic technique.

Ling Xian was no exception.

Under the leadership of the Goddess of Battles, he finally arrived at the First Prohibited Area with Huang Jiu Ge.

This place is normally lonely and deserted. However, right now, it was anything but. On the contrary, it was extremely rowdy.

Waves of people were amongst the crowd, all looking for the entrance to the small universe in an attempt to find the core battleground.

Without exception, all of these people were top Heaven’s Favorites with insane capabilities. Even the desert whirlpool could not stop them or dissolve them.

However, they were all acting like flies without a clue as they flew around. It was obvious that they couldn’t find the core battlefield.

“So they are all powerhouses…”

Staring at the terrifying people’s silhouettes, Ling Xian squinted his eyes and smiled, “Seems like we aren’t that late.”

“The core battleground isn’t that easy to find. We have to wait for it to activate or we find another way to look for it.”

The Goddess of Battles softly smiled. Her gold robe fluttered and she appeared threatening.

“Hmm…”

Ling Xian suddenly frowned as his soul began to swirl around, generating a storm that soon engulfed the dessert. However, a strange seal stopped him and rejected him.

He was a little startled, “What is this?”

“Stop wasting your time. There is a prohibiting force here. Nobody can use their soul to search.”

The Goddess of Battles smiled and moved around, smoothing out the whirlpool of sand beneath her feet.

“What an interesting place. So we cannot investigate with our soul.” Ling Xian smiled, not exactly feeling flustered.

Even if he cannot use his soul, he had other methods.

“That’s right, we have to aimlessly search. It’s no different than just trying to be lucky.” The Goddess of Battles softly sighed.

“Says who?”

The corner of Ling Xian’s lips lifted up, “I have never been lucky so I never count on it.”

“Hmm?”

The Goddess of Battles raised an eyebrow. “You mean, you have a way to find it?”

“I cannot promise anything but we can try.” Ling Xian smiled. He was as confident as ever and was collected as ever.

This lit up the Goddess of Battles’ spirit, “It appears that it was the right decision asking you to be my ally.”

“Trust me, you will feel this way for the rest of your life.”

Ling Xian softly smiled but soon stopped. He formed a mysterious hand seal with his hands.

Don’t forget, he is an array master and was now at the grandmaster level.

Though this skill of his seems to not relate to spatial instruments, it was possible to find spatial instruments using array skills. It was just a little peculiar.

All spatial instruments pulse in space. This pulsing is what exposes it.

As long as Ling Xian can make a spatial array, naturally he can use it to his advantage to sense the existence of the spatial instrument.

“Luckily, I have a blank spiritual stone.”

Ling Xian smiled. He didn’t make a big deal of it. To create a spatial portal, he merely carved into the empty spiritual stone and used it.

To array masters, this is an extremely difficult achievement. But to him, this was easy peasy.

He merely used half an hour to imprint the rock

This lit up the Goddess of Battles’ eyes and she said, “You are planning to borrow the energy from the spiritual stone to find the pulse of the other spatial instrument?”

“That’s right.” Ling Xian smiled and nodded. He played with the white spiritual stone with anticipation in his eyes.

“What a profound level of array abilities. If I am not wrong, you are one of the best out of all the grandmasters.”

The Goddess of Battles’ eyes flickered with shock and looked at Ling Xian like she was looking at a monster.

She didn’t know how to describe Ling Xian anymore. So he has impressive capabilities, but how is he also so glorious with arrays?

He is a monster!

“You flatter me.”

Ling Xian’s eyes were calm. He summoned the stone to suspend in midair as he searched for the spatial instrument’s pulse.

Seeing this, the Goddess of Battles stopped him and said, “There are far too many Heaven’s Favorites here. If we search like this, we would make a scene.”

“We cannot hide. If this place is a forest, we can hide amongst the trees. But this is a desert without any hiding spot. Anyone who is here will find out about the core battleground.”

Ling Xian shook his head. He doesn’t want to make a big deal out of it either. But he had no other way.

“That’s true. After all, this is just a dessert.”

The Goddess of Battles frowned but she quickly relaxed, “Oh well. So we fight. I have never been afraid of anyone.”

“Exactly. We will have to fight sooner or later. We can just step over whoever tries to stop us.” Ling Xian’s lips curled up, looking confident and arrogant.

Then, his left hand held onto the blank spiritual stone and his right hand formed a mysterious hand seal. At once, a shapeless vibration expanded and washed over the entire desert.

At once, the space shook. Like a pond of water that was being disturbed by the wind, little waves rippled.

Though the pulses were shapeless and formless, they could not hide from the powerful Heaven’s Favorites. All eyes were now fixated on him.

Ling Xian ignored them. He focused on trying to find the core battleground.

The next second, his spirits lifted. His gaze moved over to the most east place and his eyes shone with light.

“Found it?” The Goddess of Battles’ eyes brightened.

“It’s at the East corner. Let’s go.”

Ling Xian’s lips curled up. And in a flash, he had appeared at a place hundreds of yards away.

At this, not only did the Goddess of Battles and Huang Jiu Ge follow, the other cultivators followed as well. Their gazes were full of shock and heat.

They finally understood that Ling Xian had found the core battleground.

Remember that they have been pacing around for a long time but could not figure a method to locate the battleground. However, his man here had just arrived and he already found a clue. Why wouldn’t everyone be surprised?

And now that the location may have been found, their eyes naturally became heated.

“So everyone followed…”

Sensing everyone behind him, Ling Xian softly smiled. He didn’t stop them. After all, the moment a spatial instrument appears, people would be startled anyway. It was a problem of when.

In a little while, he landed onto the ground and the empty spiritual stone vibrated, emitting much energy.

This meant the core battleground is right before him.

“This is it.”

Ling Xian rolled up his sleeves and placed the blank spiritual stone back into his pouch. Then, he looked back and grinned, “Everyone, I have found the battleground. It’s your turn to help.”
