"Hehe, you’re not afraid that I’ll take the item and turn to run away?"
Ling Xiao had anticipated that this guy would do just that.
Both Linglong Fairy and the Cold-faced Martial Artist were cautious and careful individuals. Although they could easily reach out and take the item, neither of them dared to be careless.
After all, the corpse of that ancient warrior was too intact, and they had a nagging feeling that it might attack them suddenly.
That’s why he reminded the two that the Storage Ring had not yet been checked.
Because he knew, in the end, they would have to let him retrieve the Storage Ring.
He had already carefully observed the surroundings and knew that removing the Storage Ring would not pose any danger.
This old predecessor had died suddenly while healing wounds, with no ti to set up anything else; only the Array Formation and Dragon-breaking Stone outside had been arranged in advance.
What a pair of cowards!
Ling Xiao said with a cold smile, "Although I have serious doubts about your character, since I can’t escape, I’m content to see what this old predecessor left behind before dying. However, you two stay back, at least seven steps away from ."
Linglong Fairy and the Cold-faced Martial Artist exchanged a glance. Both moved towards the entrance, guarding it. If Ling Xiao tried to run away with the item, they could easily stop him.
Ling Xiao looked disdainfully at the two, then walked to the side of the ice bed.
Just as he was about to remove the Storage Ring, he suddenly noticed faint traces of characters inside the ice bed.
These appeared to be carved by hand, and Ling Xiao suspected that this ancient warrior had made this desperate act in his dying monts, to pass on his cultivation technique, because even in death, he would not be without successors.
Although Ling Xiao didn’t make out the other characters clearly, the last sentence was crystal clear. It was etched very distinctly, and in larger characters than the others—
"Hope the one with destiny preserves the corpse, do not destroy!"
Although Ling Xiao didn’t know what the person intended to do with his own corpse, since there was such a request, there was no harm in preserving it for the ti being.
After all, as long as there was no soul, the corpse wasn’t considered a living thing and could be stored in the Mountain and River World. There were plenty of glaciers there, any of which would ensure that the body did not rot.
With this thought, he simply collected the ice bed and the body entirely.
Then he picked up the Storage Ring to inspect it.
"This Storage Ring is also embedded with a Magic Array; it may take so ti to open. Make sure to watch the ti—don’t let us all get trapped here."
Ling Xiao intended to quietly transfer the contents of the Storage Ring into the Mountain and River World, then use the Storage Ring to distract Linglong Fairy and the Cold-faced Martial Artist, to make his escape.
So he definitely needed to check the Storage Ring.
"You’d better not play any tricks, or we will make you wish for life in vain and for death in despair, and let you suffer all kinds of misery!"
The Cold-faced Martial Artist warned.
Ling Xiao chuckled to himself and ignored him, beginning to carefully examine the Storage Ring.
He wasn’t lying. The Storage Ring really was protected by a Magic Array, and it was quite complicated. If he wanted to break it, it would probably take at least seven days.
Of course, this was without obtaining the body of the ancient warrior.
This ancient warrior was very powerful. He had matched his True Essence with the Magic Array to set up this protective asure. Unless one used his True Essence, and also knew the secret to breaking the Array Formation, it would not be possible to open the Storage Ring in a short ti.
Although the True Essence within the ancient warrior’s body was nearly insubstantial now, as long as there was a trace left, Ling Xiao could use it to open the Storage Ring.
After opening the Storage Ring, the first thing Ling Xiao saw was a set of bamboo slips forming a book.
Upon careful observation, he discovered it was an ancient book on cultivating dicinal herbs nad "Shennong Classic."
He actually didn’t need this thing, but Dai Yuling did.
What Dai Yuling liked the most was cultivating dicinal herbs. Bringing this thing back to her and letting her cultivate so extinct or extrely rare herbs would greatly benefit Ling Xiao as well.
A great find, pocketed!
Ling Xiao tucked away the Shennong Classic with incredibly swift movents, completely unnoticed by the two people at the door.
The second item was a jade plate, and Ling Xiao couldn’t help but get excited because it was actually a flying technique secret!
Within the Mysterious World, even Heavenly Realm Martial Artists could only glide over long distances.
Ling Xiao’s Cloud Dragon Divine Movent was quite special, allowing him to glide just like a Heavenly Realm expert.
But neither of these could truly fly.
The only ones who could fly were those above the Cave Heaven Realm, or those with out-of-body cultivation and a Flying Martial Soul.
However, flying-type Martial Souls consud too much True Essence and Soul Power, and combined with the short out-of-body duration, they were hardly practical, which made flying techniques all the more precious.
"Flying Dragon Wings: A flying technique secret, gold-top level Martial Arts. Once fully mastered, one can grow True Essence wings on their back and achieve real flight like a bird. Although it consus a fair amount of energy, it’s much less compared to flying-type Martial Souls."
Reading this description almost made Ling Xiao burst into laughter.
If he truly mastered this Flying Dragon Wings technique, then he could just fly away if he couldn’t win a fight. Who could catch up to him then?
He continued to read on.
"Requirent: Only those above the Transcendent Realm Seventh Layer can cultivate it."
This requirent didn’t bother Ling Xiao at all; he had already been practicing Gold-top Level Martial Arts that were intended for Transcendant Realm Seventh Layer when he was just at the first layer of the Transcendent Realm.
That was because his physical strength t the necessary criteria, and his True Essence was also very pure and robust.
Of course, the most important reason was that he had the Mountain and River Martial Soul, which allowed him to bypass many issues during his cultivation and find better ways to solve them.
Thus, the problems others faced due to insufficient cultivation levels simply didn’t apply to him.
Taken!
Not to ntion the enhanced self-preservation capabilities that flying would provide him, just the thrill of it was enough to get Ling Xiao’s pulses racing.
How could he possibly leave such a thing for soone else?
Of course, he took it for himself.
"What the hell are you doing?"
Just as Ling Xiao was about to continue checking out what other treasures were inside, the Cold-faced Martial Artist suddenly charged at him, shouting.
Ling Xiao made a decisive move. Forget the junk treasures; he transferred everything into his Mountain and River World in one go, planning to check it all out later when it was safe.
Next, he had to prepare to slip away from this place.
After all, taking on two Transcendent Realm Fifth Layer martial artists and two Transcendent Realm Fourth Layer Peak Martial Artists was not easy, unless he used the Ancient Golden Dragon Form.
But that was his trump card, a secret technique he would not employ lightly unless absolutely necessary.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t be good for his developnt.
Because once he started relying on it, he would end up using the Ancient Golden Dragon Form against any enemy he faced in the future. Overreliance on that special form wouldn’t benefit the enhancent of his own combat abilities at all.
