As An Immortal, I Only Learn Forbidden Skills

It was almost impossible for those below the Golden Core Realm to cultivate the divine will. Not only did it require time and experience, but it also required a profound cultivation base and tempering. It required growth in actual battles as well as the cleansing of the being by heaven and earth when one broke through several realms.

"I seem to have fulfilled all of these conditions." Jiang Ming recalled the records about the divine will in the ancient texts and could not help but mutter to himself, "In terms of cultivation time, I've been here for more than two hundred years, and I've experienced countless battles and hardships. As for the cleansing of the being by heaven and earth, the heavenly tribulation I experienced probably covered that. Besides, in that starlit path, I witnessed more than forty heavenly tribulations and experienced the baptism of countless fragments of the great cultivation."

Jiang Ming recalled these experiences. In addition, when he was in the mortal world, he had been drinking medicinal soups every day to enhance his senses.

Now that he thought about it, perhaps the medicinal soup back then was also secretly nourishing his divine soul.

With all of these added together, eating the soul-cleansing fruit today was the spur needed to make his divine soul undergo an ultimate transformation and give birth to his divine will.

"Huh? The transformation stopped?" Jiang Ming suddenly raised his eyebrows and felt that his newborn divine will seemed to have stopped growing.

"It seems that my divine will needs a lot of nutrients."

Jiang Ming quickly continued to consume the second soul-cleansing fruit. The pure medicinal power once again gathered toward his divine will, causing it to grow slowly.

Jiang Ming ended up eating seven of those fruits.

He looked inside and saw a golden light floating in his soul sea. It was like the only light in the chaos, illuminating the void.

This light was the divine will. It had completely taken shape and was extremely stable. The last soul-cleansing fruit that Jiang Ming ate had no effect on this divine will.

"The soul-cleansing fruit has the strongest effect on the divine soul. It seems like its medicinal effects are already somewhat insufficient for the divine will!"

Jiang Ming thought about it. Anyway, the fruits were still very valuable. If he took it out, he might be able to exchange it for some rare treasures or cultivation techniques.

After putting away the remaining fruits, Jiang Ming started eating the meat he had roasted.

The rich essence dissolved in his body. Jiang Ming quickly ran the Mystic Flame Spirit Sacrifice Spell to refine it, nourishing and stabilizing his spiritual base, and consolidating his cultivation base.

"It's true that there are treasures everywhere in the ruins. The essence contained in the meat of that wolf is almost equivalent to several months of cultivation. It can make my cultivation improve a lot."

The next morning, Jiang Ming breathed in and out, tempering his body, and practicing a set of fist techniques on the top of the mountain.

Suddenly, he raised his eyebrows and looked into the distance.

After his divine soul transformed into his divine will, Jiang Ming's perception had also been enhanced exponentially. He could already sense beings who had yet to reveal their auras.

After Jiang Ming looked in that direction for a few seconds, six or seven black spots appeared in the distance and then quickly approached him.

"They're all Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators." Jiang Ming squinted and figured out their purpose.

It was likely that this soul-cleansing fruit had long been discovered by others. However, the black wolf was too difficult to deal with. Therefore, no one could grab the fruit. Now, the wolf was gone, and they were trying to find the fruit.

"It's a pity that you're too late!" Jiang Ming shook his head. He could not be bothered to pay attention to these people and was about to turn around and leave.

However, a sword aura suddenly shot from a distance, aiming at Jiang Ming's head.

"Stop! Who dares steal what belongs to the Cangming Grotto-Heaven?"

Jiang Ming stopped in his tracks.

With a wave of his hand, he shattered the sword aura and stared at the people who were flying over with a strange look in his eyes.

He had a bone to pick with the Cangming Grotto-Heaven.

One by one, figures descended to the top of the mountain and instantly surrounded Jiang Ming.

"The soul-cleansing fruits are already gone. This person must have picked it!" One of the Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators was clearly very familiar with this place. He quickly looked at the place where the soul-cleansing fruit grew and immediately shouted.

"Fellow cultivator, you've stolen what belongs to the Cangming Grotto-Heaven. You even ate the fruits and tried to run away! How shameless!" The leader of the group laughed mockingly. His eyes gleamed, and a powerful pressure pressed down, causing the surrounding air to freeze.

"You're at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm." Jiang Ming looked at the man with a little curiosity and smiled. "You must be an elite discipline of the Cangming Grotto-Heaven to be able to cultivate to this stage. I wonder if the Cangming Grotto-Heaven will feel bad if you die here?"

"Haha! It's been a while since I've met such an arrogant person!" The other party's leader was not angry at all. However, he looked at Jiang Ming condescendingly. "Hand over the soul-cleansing fruit and I'll leave your corpse intact!"

"Wait! Something's not right. There should be an extremely fierce demonic wolf here. Why is it not here today?" the person, who had checked the soul-cleansing fruit earlier, said in a low voice as he looked around.

"You mean that black wolf? I've already eaten it! If I had known that you guys would come, I would have left some bones for you," Jiang Ming said with a smile.

"You arrogant b*stard, you're spouting nonsense! That wolf can tear apart a cultivator at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm. How can you even scratch it?" The Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator sneered at him.
