Chapter 326: The Saint's Scripture (2)
As An Immortal, I Only Learn Forbidden Skills
If this was true, then there were even fewer Saints born in this era. In this era, there had been no Saints for a long time.
From this, it could be seen how rare and powerful a Saint was.
The so-called blessed land of cultivation was the inheritance and foundation left behind by the former Saints. This was why they could stand at the peak of the world of immortal cultivation and overlook the changes in the world of mortals.
The core and source of a Saint's foundation, other than the Saint-level magical treasure that was fused with the Saint's vitality and refined for a lifetime, was undoubtedly the Saint's scripture that was passed down for eternity.
Every Saint's scripture was the essence condensed from the Saint's long journey of becoming a Saint. It represented the highest achievement in his life and even made up for the flaws and shortcomings on his path to becoming a Saint.
However, Saint-level scriptures were extremely rare. Even ordinary paper and materials could not withstand the runes. Even if they were written, they would turn into ashes. In the guesses of most immortal cultivators, perhaps the saint-level scriptures in the Black Rock Ruins had long since vanished with the destruction of the blessed land.
Even if there was an inheritance left behind, it would only see the light of day after countless years.
No one would have thought that the Saint-level scripture was still suspected to be in these ruins.
"However, it shouldn't be possible. It's a complete Saint-level scripture," Jiang Ming muttered to himself. He did not let his excitement get to his head.
Even if it was a scripture the Saint left behind, if it was a complete scripture, it would be impossible for outsiders to touch it unless it was recognized.
For a faction at the level of the Cangming Grotto-Heaven to plot against it meant that the greatest possibility was that it was incomplete.
"If what he said is true. It should be an incomplete chapter!" the black sword listened to the conversation between the two of them in the storage ring. At this moment, it also quietly said, "Not just anyone can pry into the complete scripture of the Saint. However, even if it's an incomplete scripture, it's still worth exploring. If you miss it, you might not be able to encounter it again in your lifetime."
"That might not be the case. After all, my life is a little long," Jiang Ming muttered in his heart. However, he also knew that this kind of opportunity was rare. No matter how incomplete it was, it was an amazing opportunity for an immortal cultivator.
"It seems that the thing that Wu Hen entered the ruins to find is the same thing that the Ancient Kingdom Blessed Land came all the way here for. There's a high possibility that it's this incomplete scripture of the Saint."
Otherwise, these people would not be so secretive and dive into the depths of the snowy valley.
He asked Fei Ming a few more questions, but he was only a Qi Refinement Realm cultivator after all, so the things he knew were limited to this. He knew very little about anything else. Thus, Jiang Ming could not understand more about the opportunities at the end of the snowy valley.
"Since that's the case, there's no use keeping you alive!" Jiang Ming shook his head and said lightly.
He put away the array flag, and the two of them appeared in front of Li Qianya and the others.
When Fei Ming saw this scene, he immediately understood that this mysterious cultivator with terrifying strength wanted to kill him.
A look of terror flashed across Fei Ming's eyes. Although he knew that death was imminent, he still found it difficult to control himself when he was faced with this scene. He said with a trembling voice, "Sir, can you spare my life? It was all a misunderstanding earlier. Those people deserved to die. However, I have no enmity with you. If you let me off today, the Cangming Grotto-Heaven will definitely repay you generously in the future!"
"I know the principles of the Cangming Grotto-Heaven!" Jiang Ming glanced at him with a faint smile and then said leisurely, "Besides, who said that you have no enmity with me? I killed your people to avenge my junior!"
"There must be a misunderstanding!" Fei Ming's expression changed slightly as he stuttered, "May I know your junior's name? When did the Cangming Grotto-Heaven offend your junior? Please give me a chance to apologize."
"It's too late!" Jiang Ming snorted coldly. "Back then, the cultivators of the Cangming Grotto-Heaven almost killed my junior, Yan Chixia, in a secret area. If it weren't for my junior's extraordinary talent and strength, he would have died. Then, the Cangming Grotto-heaven would have really caused a great disaster."
"Yan Chixia?"
Fei Ming was stunned when he heard this name.
He was not the only one. Even Li Qianya and Qi Yue were shocked. They looked at each other in disbelief.
Although several years had passed, the two of them naturally would not forget that terrifying Qi Refinement Realm genius with unfathomable strength.
They did not expect to hear about that person again today. Moreover, was this person with terrifying strength actually Yan Chixia's senior?
"Just what kind of sect is it to be able to nurture more than one such terrifying genius…?" Even Qi Yue's eyes flashed in extreme shock.
Compared to Li Qianya and Qi Yue's shock, Fei Ming felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He was in extreme despair.
He did not know how unlucky he was. Back then, he had met Yan Chixia and was almost beaten to death. Today, he met Yan Chixia's senior and was about to be killed.
As a genius of the Cangming Grotto-Heaven, Fei Ming had been smooth sailing for more than twenty years and had never encountered any major obstacles. However, the only two calamities in his life were caused by a pair of friends.
"If this kid knew the truth, he would probably find it even harder to accept," the black sword muttered softly. Then, it said fiercely, "Damn it! You deserve it. Back then, you nearly chased me until I died. You even snatched my master's corpse away."
Jiang Ming could not be bothered entertaining Fei Ming. With a flick of his finger, a sword aura appeared and pierced through Fei Ming's glabella, blowing his entire head into a mist of blood.
After dealing with Fei Ming, Jiang Ming also looked at Li Qianya and the others. He had deliberately pointed out his identity so he could express some goodwill to these people.
Back then in the cave, Li Qianya and Qi Yue had maintained their goodwill toward him and did not attack him. He was returning the favor today.
Li Qianya and Qi Yue hurried forward and bowed respectfully to Jiang Ming.
"All of you should leave as soon as possible. This area is too dangerous. You shouldn't have come. You guys are from the Mysterious Star Grotto-heaven and the Chasing Moon Lake, right?" Jiang Ming said with a smile. "I heard Yan Chixia mention them before. He thinks highly of you."
Li Qianya and the others were delighted to hear this.
"We've met Yan Chixia once. He's truly a peerless genius. His future achievements are unimaginable!" Li Qianya sighed from the bottom of his heart and asked respectfully, "May I know which sect you two are from? If we meet again in the future, the Mysterious Star Grotto-Heaven will definitely welcome you."
"Hahaha, Yan Chixia will be very happy to hear your evaluation of him!" Jiang Ming maintained Zhang Shan's boorish style and laughed. "Since you're acquainted with my junior, there is no need to be so formal with me. My name is Zhang Shan! As for our sect, it's called the Flowerfruit Mountain! However, we've always kept a low profile," Jiang Ming said with a smile. "We're not considered a blessed land. Please don't spread it around."
"Definitely!" Li Qianya and the others nodded hurriedly. However, they were all shocked. They had never heard of such a sect before. Where exactly was it?
Jiang Ming looked at their different expressions and smiled. Then, he prepared to leave.
Li Qianya gritted his teeth and suddenly asked, "Zhang Shan, do you know why Fei Ming was chasing us?"
"He said that it was for a map fragment. However, that thing has nothing to do with me. Don't worry about me snatching it away," Jiang Ming said with a smile.
"You have such a wonderful attitude!" Li Qianya smiled wryly and sighed. He reached out and took out a palm-sized piece of yellowed paper from his storage ring. He handed it over.
"This is the map fragment. I'll give it to you!"
