Ling Tian Sword God

"It seems within two years, you might be able to aspire to the Saint Realm."

Shen Bingxin nodded lightly and spoke.

"Aspire to the Saint Realm within two years?"

The words caused many from Lingyue Island to be taken aback. Ling Chen was currently only at the Sky Apex Realm, a bit distant from the Saint Realm. If he truly were to advance to the Saint Realm within two years, it would mean Ling Chen could become a Saint around the age of twenty-four. That age is terrifyingly young.

Even those renowned for their high talent, like Ba Wang and the Taibai Sword Immortal, couldn’t achieve the Saint status at such an age. Could Ling Chen really do it?

To do so would surpass those powerful predecessors, overshadowing the Supreme Experts whose names remain through the ages.

"I will do my utmost, Master."

Although Ling Chen’s expression remained unchanged, he already had a goal in mind. His target was not two years but was instead to become a Saint within one year.

Such a statement would undoubtedly cause an uproar, and most likely, no one would believe it.

After all, even two years is shocking enough.

"Who is this young lady?"

Shen Bingxin’s gaze moved to Ling Yin. She had already noticed her, and one could even say Ling Yin was impossible to ignore standing there.

"She is my sister, Ling Yin, currently a disciple of the Heavenly Eye Clan."

Ling Yin introduced her to Shen Bingxin, then looked at Ling Chen, "This is my master, the Second Elder of Lingyue Island, Elder Shen Bingxin."

Ling Yin clasped her fist towards Shen Bingxin, "Greetings, Elder Shen."

"Ling Yin? The newly acclaimed Youth King, the Heavenly Eye King Ling Yin."

Shen Bingxin immediately regarded her differently, her eyes reflecting a hint of admiration, "The Heavenly Eye Clan has indeed produced a talent for the ages."

Although the Heavenly Eye Clan is a super clan, its foundation is no weaker than the Eight Great Super Sects. Due to a lack of descendants and signs of talent withering in recent years, Ling Yin’s emergence ensures that the Heavenly Eye Clan will remain untroubled for centuries to come, without fear of decline.

However, she was somewhat puzzled. From her knowledge, the Heavenly Eye Clan doesn’t carry the surname Ling, and Ling Chen originates from the Ling Family, not the Heavenly Eye Clan. How does Ling Yin relate as siblings?

She wouldn’t inquire about the specifics.

"Young fellow, appointing you as the leader of Group One back then was indeed the right decision."

Behind Shen Bingxin stood the Spiritual Heart Saint, Elder Thirteen, who also looked at Ling Chen with a smile. Her expectations for Ling Chen were to seize the Divine Marquis position at the Nine-Stream Conference, yet Ling Chen rose to become a Youth King, far exceeding everyone’s expectations.

"That was thanks to Elder Thirteen’s excellent guidance."

Ling Chen smiled faintly.

"Various forces seem to be preparing to enter the Immortal Medicinal Garden."

Watching as various sects and family forces arrived at the depths of Qinling, many powerful experts were already floating at the edge of the giant pit, eager to enter the Immortal Medicinal Garden.

These individuals were top-tier experts from various forces.

Shen Bingxin gazed at the spiritual-energy-permeated Immortal Medicinal Garden in the distance and asked, "Ling Chen, do you know the source of the tremor this time?"

Ling Chen replied, "Isn’t it Emperor Qinling’s Immortal Medicinal Garden? I heard about it before. There are countless precious herbs within it, plenty of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, and most importantly, the existence of the Undying Tree."

However, Shen Bingxin shook her head, "Although the Immortal Medicinal Garden is eye-catching, people are not solely here for it. The Immortal Medicinal Garden is merely the tip of the iceberg of the Emperor’s Tomb."

"Emperor Qinling was a peerless expert. Although not a Supreme Expert, he was akin to one. Emperor Qinling loved collecting rare treasures in his lifetime and once gathered all talents to refine the medicine of immortality for him. Perhaps within the Emperor’s Tomb lies the secret of the Undying Medicine."

When the Undying Medicine was mentioned, a gleam appeared in Shen Bingxin’s eyes.

Warriors’ cultivation can prolong life, with Saints living up to five hundred years. However, for many, that’s simply insufficient because achieving Supreme Expert status is too challenging. The last Supreme Expert, the Taibai Sword Immortal, appeared over five hundred years ago.

People tend only to remember the names of strong individuals.

Throughout history, countless brilliant talents perished halfway through their pursuit of Supreme status, fading entirely from historical memory, forgotten by the world.

Given a few more centuries, perhaps they could dominate the Heavenly Dao, shatter the heavens, and become Supreme Experts.

"Undying Medicine? Could such a thing truly exist?"

Ling Chen was somewhat skeptical. Could the world truly harbor such an extraordinary item as the Undying Medicine? If it existed, Emperor Qinling wouldn’t have died, nor would he be buried within the Emperor’s Tomb under Qinling.

"Better to believe in its existence than to deny it."

Shen Bingxin shook her head, "It’s alleged that the Undying Fruit born of the Undying Tree is among the core materials for refining the Undying Medicine. With the Undying Tree appearing in Emperor Qinling’s Immortal Medicinal Garden, anything is possible."

To be honest, she deeply desired the Undying Medicine. Acquiring it would greatly enhance her chances of becoming a Supreme Expert.

"Looks like they’re planning to attack the Undying Tree to harvest the Undying Fruit."

In the vision ahead, several figures already operated True Qi, wielding weapons, including Princess Mingzhu, Elder Len, and swordsmen from the Sword Casting Villa, all targeting the Undying Tree at the heart of the Immortal Medicinal Garden!

"Let’s go have a look; the other disciples stay put here."

Shen Bingxin instructed the disciples of Lingyue Island and gestured to Ling Chen, then proceeded with the Spiritual Heart Saint and another elder towards the Immortal Medicinal Garden.

"Let’s go!"

Ling Chen and Ling Yin simultaneously moved forward, following them, while the others remained, lacking the strength to withstand even one strike from the Undying Tree. Approaching too closely could be akin to courting death.

"Elder Shen, I never expected you would lead the Lingyue Island team this time. Rumor had it you were afflicted by fire poison and couldn’t venture out from Lingyue Island. It seems those were just rumors."

In the distance, a harsh voice carried over, belonging to a rather fierce red-robed elder.

Behind this elder stood two familiar faces to Ling Chen—Elder Tu and Elder Xi, the two elders from Wildfire City previously encountered in the Demon Dragon Palace.

"Rumors cease with the wise. Saint Qian Yan, you are a smart man. Do I look like I’m afflicted by poison?"

Shen Bingxin smiled faintly.

Perceiving Shen Bingxin’s formidable pressure, Saint Qian Yan was taken aback. They were sure of Shen Bingxin’s fire poison affliction, yet seeing Shen Bingxin now, she showed no sign of torment from severe poison. Could it be that her fire poison was resolved?

While Saint Qian Yan pondered in uncertainty, Elder Tu suddenly approached from behind, whispering, "That kid in white is the murderer of Yuwen Lin, Ling Chen."

"What?!"

Saint Qian Yan’s eyes shook violently, scanning the Lingyue Island crowd, quickly locking onto Ling Chen, with boundless murderous intent surging in his eyes.
