Chapter 484: A Strange Place

Translator:?_Tat_??Editor:?Fish_Creek

In midair, a grand temple materialized, emitting a sense of vicissitude. It felt like a place where real immortal lived, mysterious and imposing.

It was the legendary Imperishable Temple.

The moment it appeared, it eluded countless amount of light that attracted everyone’s attention.

Every being standing here were highly excited and stared at the temple like they have found a rare treasure.

In reality, this temple was pretty much an invaluable treasure. Because on the inside, it is ridden with countless fortunes that all cultivator dream of!

However, as much as everyone expressed their desire, their expression revealed how worried they were.

They know very well that the moment the Temple activates, a war starts!

It wasn’t just friendly battles, it was going to be war where one side must die. Thus, how could everyone not feel worried?

However, the other kinds of beings did not appear worried. They were smiling confidently.

“Finally, it’s about to activate. I can now kill anyone I want without thinking too much.”

The stone kind chuckled and glanced at the humankind before his gaze landing on Ling Xian, “You are truly an arrogant one. Once you go in, you better watch out.”

“You are threatening me?” Ling Xian’s gaze turned cold as terrifying Qi seeped out of him.

“No, this isn’t a threat.”

The stone man laughed and gawked at Ling Xian, “it’s a final sentence.”

“It seems like you are certain that you will defeat me…” Ling Xian’s lips curled up, “Stone man, I hope you can still make that statement once you enter.”

“Interesting. I promise you that I will crush you to pieces.” Stone man smirked, its face full of arrogance.

As for the other kinds, they all glared at Ling Xian in an unkind manner and with killer’s intent.

It was obvious that these beings have targeted Ling Xian.

Especially that golden roc, it laughed in disdain and said something insanely cocky.

“Do not steal from me! I am going to keep that human’s soul so he will forever be my slave!”

At this, Ling Xian’s face fell and terrifying Qi rushed out of him and surrounded this area. Since his cultivation journey started, nobody has ever dared to try to make him a slave. He was now bathing in rage.

“Hehe, young one, because of our ancestors, I will not fight you right here and now. After the palace activates, I will for sure take you as a slave!”

The roc suspended in midair and stared at Ling Xian like a God staring at an animal.

“I do not want to waste any more time with you. Since you want to finish it off once we are in there, then I wait for you.” Ling Xian’s expression was cold. He glared at the roc and decided to kill it.

It was not the right time to fight. Thus, he shifted his gaze towards the solidified Temple, “It’s opening. Be prepared.”

“I understand.”

Sun Ze Hao nodded and looked down at the human Heaven’s Favorites. He sighed, “I wonder how many will die this time.”

“Aye, we just have to do our best.”

Ling Xian sighed as well, “When we enter, you, me, and that Heaven’s Favorite from the House of the Undead, must kill off the strongest beings first. We need to try and stop them from hurting others.”

“That’s no problem with me. But I’m not sure if Xia Ling Mu will cooperate.” Sun Ze Hao frowned, “He is very strange. I think he is only here for the treasures and not here to save lives.”

Hearing this, Ling Xian’s heart fell, “If that’s the case, then our pressure increases.”

This was an obvious matter. There were at least five other cultivators of his level from the other beings. There was already an imbalance of power, if Xia Ling Mu does nothing and just watches, then the situation will head for the worst.

“What can we do? We protect what we can. If we can’t, we shouldn’t pay with our own lives.” Sun Ze Hao grinned helplessly.

“It seems to be the only way.” Ling Xian sighed.

After all, he was fighting solo. No matter how powerful he was, he cannot defend against five people of the same level!

Just as they were discussing this, the temple in the sky was materializing and solidifying. The Qi it emitted turned even more horrifying.

HOMMM!

An infinite amount of heavenly light exploded. The Imperishable Temple suddenly shed down pillars of light that landed on every single living being.

In the next second, everyone felt a great wave of gravity pulling them up into the air towards the temple.

Though the force was gentle, it was very domineering. Even Ling Xian and the roc couldn’t resist it. They let this force take them into the Imperishable Temple.

“This feeling… is similar to the Palace of Fortune.”

Ling Xian frowned. As he felt this similar gravity, he had many questions in his mind. However, the situation did not allow him to ponder.

Within seconds, this stream of light carried him into the Imperishable Temple and brought everyone else inside as well.

Once everyone entered, they felt a wave of dizziness drowning over them. Then, they were transported to unknown places.

This happened to every single one of them. Even the other beings could not resist this mysterious power. Because of this, many human Heaven’s Favorites sighed in relief. At least they don’t have to face the other beings right off the bat.

….

After moments of dizziness, Ling Xian opened his eyes and found himself inside a spacious room.

Looking afar, this place was a field of gold. Below, above, behind, or to the left, everything was in yellow. There was also a singular place with a seal placed on it. Like a golden treasure box, he was trapped inside.

“So this is the Imperishable Temple…”

At the strangeness of this place, Ling Xian couldn’t help but to frown. He manipulated his Qi to investigate his surrounding and realized that there was an array in place.

A prohibition array.

“So… this place is forcing the cultivator to lift the array before entering the next place?” Ling Xian guessed, feeling a little confused. He wasn’t sure what is going on.

Just then, his peripheral vision caught an image of a jade box on his left. He subconsciously slowed down.

Ling Xian flapped around his sleeve and opened the box. Inside, he found a flaming red spiritual medicine with the spiritual energy of the sixth rank.

Seeing this, he confirmed his guess and laughed.

“Seems like I have to break this array and head to the next place.”
