Deep inside the volcano, a skeleton of a man was sitting in a lotus position on the ground. His hair was in a disarray and his arms were tightly bound by two black chains, disabling him from moving.

However, his eyes never lost their shine and were actually burning. His lips never stopped moving and ran on like rushing water.

Perhaps it's been too many years since someone had spoken to him – he was going insane from loneliness. Now that someone was finally there, he naturally found it hard to resist his urges.

Sadly, Ling Xian couldn't hear anything he was saying.

At first, the man continued to speak non-stop. But after seeing that Ling Xian was giving him absolutely no reaction, he was somewhat angry. Once he realized that Ling Xian had blocked his own hearing with his Qi, the man was enraged but helpless.

The chains made out of Dark Immortal Gold were no joke. Plus, the chains were designed for him, which meant they prohibited his movements greatly. Despite his out of the world abilities, there was no way he could fight Ling Xian while shackled.

This made him feeling helpless. All he could do was sigh and eventually, he stopped talking.

However, his gaze never left Ling Xian. Slowly, a rush of shock appeared in his eyes.

Though he has been limited by the Dark Immortal Gold and he couldn't use his spiritual energy, he once cultivated a technique that was similar to the Inner Eyes. It allowed him to see basic information about a living being, such as age and cultivation level.

Therefore, when he saw that Ling Xian was only around 20 years old, he became shocked. When he continued looking and saw that he was of the undefeatable realm in both the meditational and foundational level, his expression turned into amazement.

For someone in their 20s to be at the advanced stage of the completion level was not an easy feat. To have been in both the undefeatable realm of the meditational and foundational level, it was something unbelievable.

Though this man was used to seeing geniuses, he couldn't help but be surprised.

"To have achieved such glory at such an age, he truly is special. Even with what I've seen in the past thousands of year, he is one of the strongest I know."

The man continued to show his surprise and curiosity. "Let me see, just what makes you so special."

Then, he manipulated his Qi and immediately, two rays of light shot out of his dark eyes and they engulfed Ling Xian.

However, just as the heavenly light reached Ling Xian's eyes, a strange power poured out of him and the two rays of light dissipated.

The man frowned at this and mumbled to himself, "Interesting, it looks like he has a pair of Inner Eyes. They must also be one of the more powerful pairs, or else he wouldn't be able to get rid of my technique."

Then, his curiosity intensified. He once again summoned this technique in attempt to investigate to the bottom of this.

This time, the two rays of light didn't disappear. After all, he was one of the most powerful men in the world, and it was hard to imagine his abilities.

Ling Xian was also in a dormant state. For his Eyes of Execution to counterattack automatically was something unbelievable already. It was normal that they couldn't stop the man's second attempt of an investigation.

Because of that, the Eyes of Execution appeared within the man's vision.

Then, shock flashed across his eyes. He didn't think the pair of eyes Ling Xian had was that pair.

"The Eyes of Execution? It's been 120,000 years since that pair has appeared." The man exhaled deeply as if trying to get rid of all the shock he was feeling.

Looking at the silhouette who was sitting in a lotus position, he exclaimed, "His talent sure is insane. He summoned the Eyes of Execution. I haven't met many rare geniuses like him in my lifetime."

As he spoke, he suddenly recalled his conversation with Ling Xian earlier. He couldn't help but to frown and mumble, "Does he actually have a way to let me out?"

As he spoke, he shook his head and chuckled, denying this thought.

It was the legendary Dark Immortal Gold! How could a young completion leveled cultivator break them? No matter how talented he was, it wouldn't be possible.

Therefore, the man stopped his unrealistic idea and stopped investigating this young man.

Ling Xian, in his current dormant state, wasn't aware of the man's many thoughts.

Currently, he was quietly sitting there with his eyes tightly shut like a Buddha.

The spiritual energy from both Heaven and Earth rushed out of him and entered his every cell through his pores. After some cultivation and training, they entered his Golden Dan in the form of pure spiritual energy.

Above him suspended a flaming red pearl. It shed down gentle and soft light that helped him block the attack of the infinite amount of fire. It looked like this pearl could endure a few decades.

The moment he began to extract energy from the air, he entered into a resting state. As he cultivated alongside the spiritual energy, he filled up his Golden Dan.

Both the initial stage of trying to fulfill the Golden State and the later stage of breaking through were processes that were extremely time-consuming.

After all, he was no longer a low leveled cultivator and naturally he couldn't breakthrough whenever he wanted anymore.

After reaching the completion level, every single little step up required the cultivator to pass the test of time. Nobody could leap forward in giant strides anymore.

This was why Ling Xian forced himself into a dormant state; he didn't want to wait consciously. After all, waiting was torture.

Just like that, he absorbed the energy from heaven and earth as he planned on increasing his cultivation level to the peak of the completion level before breaking through.

The time this required was of course, very long.

It took an entire three years for him to reach the peak of the advanced stage of the completion level. After three years, his Golden Dan was finally at a fulfilled state.

This was under the circumstance that he was extremely talented. If this were anyone else, they wouldn't be able to achieve this without at least a decade.

This alone reflected Ling Xian's talent and just how terrifying he is.

"Phew, I have finally filled up my Golden Dan."

Ling Xian woke up from his dormant state and exhaled deeply, "That wasn't easy. I don't know how long that took, but I can guess it took a while."

"Despite all that, I have achieved my goal, which makes everything worth it."

Ling Xian faintly grinned. "Next, it's time for my breakthrough."

Then, his expression turned serious. He manipulated his spiritual energy internally and summoned them to break the bottleneck.

However, just as he summoned all his energy, an unforgettable image suddenly flashed across his brain.

It was at the peak of a mountain inside the Shang Qing Sect. Yu Wu Xiu was sitting on top of the cloud like the Goddess of all. She peered down below.

And there he was, barely breathing and walking as if he had lost his soul. His exhausted stance made him look like a beggar.

The moment his image entered his brain, Ling Xian's face turned pure white. He shouted "Oh no" and quickly manipulated his Qi in an attempt to overrule this strange feeling.

Sadly, this rush of power came too quickly and came too aggressively. Plus, he was so focused on breaking the bottleneck, he had no strength to resist. Therefore, he puked out a mouthful of blood.

Without a doubt, his inner demon had shown itself.

At such a critical moment when he needed to break through, his thoughts turned into a dagger that acted against him. It pierced through him right where it hurt.

If he cannot suppress his inner demon, his cultivation may easily crumble and his soul may be destroyed.

In other words, Ling Xian was in danger.
