As An Immortal, I Only Learn Forbidden Skills

248 Fellow Cultivator’s Courage (1)

In the void, there was a starlit path that led to somewhere unknown.

Jiang Ming stood on it, and there was no one around. The old man and the farmhouse had all disappeared. If it was not for the large bundle of firewood slung over his shoulder and the golden bone in his hand, he really would have thought that everything just now was an illusion.

“The Hundred Tribulations Sacred Body… That’s the invincibility technique they found.”

He looked at the bone in his palm. Although it was not big, when he took a closer look, there were dense words, patterns, and runes. They contained a huge amount of information and poured into his mind.

“It seems to be a body-tempering technique.” Jiang Ming was not surprised. According to the old man, body-tempering was one of the ways to break through the shackles that they had explored.

This invincibility technique was their only hope of success.

The information in the bone was getting more and more complicated. Jiang Ming had a headache and could not look at it anymore. He quickly looked away and put it into the storage ring, realizing that it was definitely an extremely amazing cultivation technique.

Although the old man spoke casually, Jiang Ming could imagine that the people mentioned by the old man were probably the most powerful people of that era.

“And the old man called them weak and said that their weak can’t withstand this invincible technique…” Jiang Ming’s eyes flickered, and he could not help but think.

“I wonder if I can go any further on this path with my immortality!?”

Jiang Ming suddenly realized that it might not be a coincidence that he had defeated dozens of powerful opponents in a row to come to this old man. It was a kind of test! Those who could not reach this place did not have the qualifications to inherit this invincible technique.

The greatest significance of the intersection of the two starlit paths seemed to be to pass on this technique.

“Why does the starlit path exist? Is it natural, or was it created by someone?”

Jiang Ming could not help but look at the endless path ahead of him.

Jiang Ming tried to walk forward. However, it seemed like he was walking in circles, and the path under his feet was gradually dissipating.

“This mysterious journey through the starlit path seems to be coming to an end. I don’t know if we’ll meet again!” Jiang Ming sighed. “The old man trapped in the intersection of time and space seems to have some kind of immortality. However, it’s a little too cruel. If it wasn’t for the intersection of the starlit paths, perhaps that old man would never have seen a living being he could talk to. He is truly alone. All his friends, relatives, and enemies have left him, leaving him alone for eternity. He goes back and forth between reality and illusion, moving forward for the sake of that flicker of hope. I hope you can succeed,” Jiang Ming thought.

If that mysterious old man successfully broke through the ultimate shackles. Perhaps in the future, the two of them might really meet again.

“However, no one knows if one can truly break free after passing the heavenly tribulation and breaking through the shackles. It’s all just the old man’s speculation.”

Jiang Ming shook his head and stopped thinking about these things.

The starlit path completely disappeared, and the scene in front of Jiang Ming’s eyes changed. In front of him was a magnificent glimmer of light. It was only a short distance away.

“I’m finally back.”

Jiang Ming looked around. He was standing at the bottom of the abyss near the light. There were traces of charred earth everywhere, and the huge rift valley extended into the distance. Even after so long, it still contained a destructive aura that made one’s heart palpitate.

With Jiang Ming’s physical strength, it was not a problem to climb up from the bottom of the abyss.

At this time, Jiang Ming was no longer a rookie who had just arrived here. He had seen dozens of people passing the heavenly tribulation. He knew very well what this faint light and the remnants of the heavenly tribulation represented. The strength of this tribulation transcender was definitely far beyond that of all the people he had fought.

“If that old man were to undergo a tribulation, would he be able to reach such a level?” Jiang Ming was stunned.

He suddenly raised his head and looked at the faint light. An absurd thought appeared in his mind.

Was it possible that this glimmer of light was left behind by the mysterious old man?

The two of them were not at the same point in the space and time continuum. Although for Jiang Ming, the meeting just now was only a short moment, perhaps thousands of years had passed for the old man.

“If that old man had passed the heavenly tribulation, where should he be now? When this world is destroyed, will he appear again?”

Jiang Ming whispered to himself, “However, according to the scenes I saw before, although the concentration of spiritual energy in the world of immortal cultivation I’m in now is different, it is extremely stable. There are no blessed lands that suddenly appear, nor are there any lands that are rapidly drying up. This world should be quite far away from being destroyed.”
