Chapter 384: Fragments of the Sixth Samsara

Translator: _Tat_ Editor: Fish_Creek

During the Archaic period, there was a valuable treasure not like any other.

The name of this treasure was the Wheel of the Sixth Samara. This object breaks all heavenly laws and possesses the ability to control the reincarnation of all beings. It could be described as insanely powerful and unmatchable in abilities. However, a long long time ago, this treasure was forcefully taken and broken. Now broken in countless number of fragments, the fragments are hidden in all kinds of corner in the Taoism world.

Before, Ling Xian found a fragment by luck. But he never believed that he could one day collect all the fragments – because that was simply far too unrealistic.

Even thought it was still unknown how many fragments the Wheel of the Sixth Samsara was broken into, based on Liao Cang Qiong’s estimations, there shouldn’t be more than 100. This is because the wheel itself is far too powerful to be smashed to over 100 pieces.

Of course, the Immortal of Alchemy’s prediction is still under test and may not be true. But to estimate conservatively, there should be 100 pieces at the very least. They are also distributed all over the world without any specific locations known.

This was why Ling Xian had never thought much about this treasure. After so long, he had almost completely forgotten.

If he didn’t sudden sense the familiarity of the energy of the wheel, he maybe have forgotten about it all his life. In that storage pouch of his, there was a valuable treasure.

Yes, a valuable treasure. Even though a fragment of the Wheel of the Sixth Samsara is utterly useless, it is still a fragment of the wheel. If all fragments can be collected, it means the wheel can be reinvented and so can the ability to control the life and death of all beings!

“I sure did not expect to see a fragment of the Sixth Samara here.” The corner of Ling Xian’s lips curled up. Feeling the rattle of the other fragment in his storage pouch, he couldn’t help it but to reveal an excited smile.

Even though the fragments are now all around the world, they still feel connected to each other. As long as the distance between them are not too far, then they should be able to feel each other.

“How lucky am I. I truly didn’t think I would find another fragment.” Ling Xian faintly smiled and stopped himself from feeling too happy. He walked towards the stand.

He put on the show that he was merely browsing and glanced around all the strange treasures. In reality, his Qi was placed onto the fragment.

This fragment was around the size of a palm and was completely black. It was not perfect, on the contrary, it was rusted and uneven, nothing special.

But upon one glance, Ling Xian was already certain that it was a Fragment of the Sixth Samara!

Because right now, the other fragment in his storage pouch was reacting intensely. If he didn’t place a hold onto the fragment, it would’ve flown out of his pouch.

At the same time, the fragment placed on the beast skin was beginning to rattle as well, though not as strongly.

Ling Xian’s heart felt a pinch, worried that the seller would’ve noticed this. He asked in a hurry, “Friend, I wonder how much you are selling for this fragment?”

“Finally, someone who knows what’s valuable.”

The vendor spoke, voice crisp and clear like a bird. She was a woman.

“You mean you think everything you have here are treasures?” Ling Xian shook his head with a smile. Based on his observation, other than the fragment, everything else was worthless.

“Hmmph, I thought I finally met someone who knows what’s valuable, but you are no different than everyone else. You have eyes but no sight.” The woman sneered in annoyance.

“Miss, you are being a little extreme.” Ling Xian shook his head, “You think it’s other people’s problem but why not consider the possibility that all your stuff are far too ordinary?”

“That’s not possible.”

The lady looked up and glanced at Ling Xian. After realizing who he was, shock flashed across her face. But very quickly, the surprised look disappeared. “I said all of these are of value, which means they are of value. Don’t think that just because you are of the completion level, you can determine the worthiness of what’s mine.”

“Stubborn.”

Ling Xian chuckled. He activated his Inner Eyes and looked at all the objects. When he was confident, he pointed at the yellow beast tooth and teased, “Miss, did you think this is an ancient elephant tusk?”

“Eh?”

The girl was a little surprised, “You do have some knowledge. That’s right, this is the Ancient Godly Elephant’s tusk.”

“Miss, you…”

Ling Xian was a little speechless at the confidence of the woman. But very sadly, it was blind confidence. At this rate, he was a little too embarrassed to call her out on it.

After all, she so firmly believed that all these were valuable. If he told her that none of these were, she might very well be angered.

Therefore, he decided that he didn’t want to call her out on it and let her be blinded by her beliefs.

“What about me?” the lady raised an eyebrow, “Am I wrong?”

“No, I was wrong. It is definitely an ancient tusk.” Ling Xian waved around his hand. He wanted to laugh but couldn’t.

Seeing this, the lady raised an eyebrow and hissed, “You are lying to me. I sure want to hear all about your opinions.”

“No, I have no opinions. I simply saw it wrong.” Ling Xian shook his head, unwilling to waste any more time.

He wanted to just get past this incident.

But the more he behaved like this, the more curious the lady got, “No, you had something to say. You don’t think this is an ancient tusk do you?”

Ling Xian frowned, not wanting to talk about it any further. He changed the subject, “Miss, let’s get back on track. I wonder what you want in exchange for this fragment?”

“What I want in exchange?” The lady smiled mischievously and said something provoking.

“I’m not selling.”

Ling Xian’s expression darkened, “Are you playing with me?”

“Yes, I am playing with you.” The girl admitted, “You did it to me first. You obviously know nothing yet pretend to know everything. How very annoying.”

“So it’s about that.” Ling Xian sighed. He had no intention to lie to this woman, but he was afraid that he’d hurt her if he said the truth.

“Hmmph, today, I must hear some truth out of you.” The girl continued to look at Ling Xian as if to challenge him, “If you can give me a convincing reason and prove that this is not an ancient tusk, then I will give you this fragment for free.”

Ling Xian’s eyes brightened in an instant, “You mean that?!”

“When have I, Hua You Du, said anything but the truth?” The girl smiled mysteriously, “But if you cannot prove it to then, then hand me your storage pouch.”

“Okay, it’s settled then.”

The corner of Ling Xian’s lips curled as he smiled a confident smile. He continued, “But I must warn you, it’s not too late to take back your words. Don’t be mad when things don’t go your way.”

“It is my treasure and I know my treasure. You are dead meat for sure.” Hua You Du was just as confident as she stared at Ling Xian’s storage pouch and estimated how much goods he had.

Noticing her stare, Ling Xian shook his head, “Alright, I have given you the chance and you wasted it. Don’t call me heartless later.”

He then picked up the elephant tusk off the beast skin. He would teach Hua You Du a lesson today.
