In a world where people measure time using centuries as the standard unit, 10 years isn’t a long time.
Especially to cultivators who are of and above the foundation level, 10 years is no different than one year. They are both merely the snap of the finger.
However, some things and some people are not that easily forgotten.
For example, the name of the person who completed 200 perfectly ranked missions 10 years ago, was a name that nobody in the Shang Qing Sect could forget.
Of course, to put it more accurately, the name was buried deep in everyone’s heart.
In the beginning, the low leveled descendants were still trying to find out information about Ling Xian. Every day, they would guard the Hall of Mission for his appearance. However, as time went on, he still didn’t show himself, which made many people lose their patience.
Now, the name
Xian Ling
was buried deep in everyone’s heart and nobody really mentions it anymore.
Right now, the giant Sun was hanging in the sky. It was noon.
There stood a gold, brilliant, and glorious palace. Similar to a ferocious beast, it gave off the vibe that it was serious and threatening.
The people coming in and out of the Hall of Missions was a never-ending stream. It really was suited to be known as one of the three most crowded places in the Shang Qing Sect.
Ling Xian was standing before the entrance.
Ever since he learned about the high reward given to the winner of the Competition of the Four Paths, he had decided to participate in the competition. After all, he was in need of contribution points.
His goal, however, wasn’t to just win one title. He planned on becoming the winner of all four paths!
One has to admit that this was a crazy thought. Anyone who hears this would be laughing with their head held high because of his own arrogance.
But to someone insane like Ling Xian, something like this might just happen.
After he established his next goal, he left his residence and headed towards Dong Fang Bi’s home.
As for Dong Fang Yu, he completely ignored her. After all, he didn’t care about the
glory
of being the last in the class.
When he finally saw Dong Fang Bi, the old man was absolutely exhilarated. He forcefully kept Ling Xian in his home and chatted with him for 10 days!
Even after doing so, Dong Fang Bi still didn’t feel like it was enough. If it weren’t for the fact that Ling Xian was getting impatient, the elder would’ve given up all his pride and continued to latch onto Ling Xian.
Of course, Ling Xian lost nothing during these 10 days.
At 2,000 contribution points per hour and 2 hours of chatting a day, he could earn 4,000 contribution points a day. In other words, within 10 days, he earned 40,000 contribution points!
One has to admit that this number was shocking. To anyone in the Shang Qing Sect, this many points could last them a lifetime.
Yet Ling Xian earned all this by merely smacking his lips. The difference between him and the others was far too large.
If this news was out, many people would be jealous.
Then, Ling Xian left Dong Fang Bi’s home and went to the Hall of Mission. For one, he wanted to earn some contribution points. For two, he wanted to do some missions and gain some experience.
After all, he decided to participate in the Competition of the Four Paths and he planned on winning. He wasn’t too worried about the other paths, but craftsmanship was his weakest link.
Therefore, his intention of going there today was to accumulate his knowledge through doing craftsmanship missions.

It’s been 10 years since I have been here. I wonder if anyone remembers me.

Ling Xian had a soft grin on his lips as he walked and entered the Hall of Mission. Then, he straight up went up to the second floor and used his token to open the first room on his left-hand side.
Coincidentally, this was the room he used when he astounded the entire Shang Qing Sect 10 years ago.

What a coincidence. Do they want me to shock the entire Shang Qing Sect again?

Ling Xian smiled and slowly shook his head to stop that thought. He was there today to accumulate some knowledge, not there to astonish the Sect.
Pity though, nothing goes according to his plan.
When he began a mission with craftsmanship, a storm was created inside the Shang Qing Sect.
The first mission was very easy. But of course, only easy for him.
The reality was that this mission wasn’t easy. This was proven by the fact that it’s been on the mission board for 10 days. If a mission was easy, there was no way it would still be on the board after 10 days.
But to Ling Xian, it was honestly pretty easy. So easy that he merely glanced at it and came up with a solution.

It should be like this.
Using his finger as a pen, he drew a few strokes. Then, he moved on to the second mission.
As for the simple design, it was automatically transferred to the examiners.
Then, this design, before the examiner’s shocked gazes and their perfect rankings, was passed down to the creator of the mission.
When this design was suspending in midair inside the Hall of Mission, no turmoil was created. However, after some time, the name hidden in everyone’s heart suddenly emerged and immediately, a discussion started inside the Hall of Mission.
Because this design was of the perfect rank. Also because they found out who completed this mission.

What the f!ck! Have I gone blind? The person who did this was the person named Xian Ling?


Unbelievable. Master Xian disappeared for a decade. Is he making his return?


The return of the master! No, the return of the ruler! His first mission was ranked to be perfect. He truly is exceptional!

Everyone chimed in their exclaims. The way they looked at the name
Xian Ling
on the bottom right corner of the drawing was full of shock.
Not even in their dreams did they think that the name they’ve been hiding inside their heart would once again make its appearance. This time, like last time, his name dropped in an absolutely shocking manner!
To most people inside the Shang Qing Sect, this name wasn’t unfamiliar. Rather, it was an unforgettable name.
Ten years ago, this name dropped like a shooting star. With its dazzling stance, it shocked the entire Shang Qing Sect, forcing every single person who heard it to collapse into a state of shock.
Though 10 years had passed just like that since then, the name Xian Ling was forgotten. Now that it has reappeared, it shone like the Sun just like last time, and was absolutely blinding!
Therefore, how could everyone here not be shocked?
When the second perfect design showed itself, everyone became even more surprised.

It truly is that master! Oh my god, the master has returned!


Hurry, hurry, hurry, everyone, call your friends! We need to hurry and send out missions.


That’s right. This master might disappear again tomorrow. Everyone, be fast! But please be careful. Lower the setting on your missions to low. This master only takes on low-level missions!

Everyone inside the Hall of Missions had gone crazy; their entire bodies were pulsing with excitement.
For one, they were once again witnessing the glory of this legendary character. For two, they could now finally send missions and get answers for problems they were stumped on.
Therefore, they all went crazy and began to signal their friends and family.
Just then, mission after mission began to emerge on the big screen. They were coming up at an alarmingly fast speed.
Luckily, this screen was a sturdy and special treasure. If it weren’t, it would’ve broke from the continuous addition of new missions.
