As An Immortal, I Only Learn Forbidden Skills

249 Fellow Cultivator’s Courage (2)

“The years are long. It might be enough for me to survive this cycle!”

Jiang Ming could not help but think about the future. If the world collapsed and he had not broken free, what end would he meet?

“It’s terrifying.” Jiang Ming shivered. “It seems that I can’t relax too much. Although this world will recover after the destruction, I must avoid suffering like that old man. Countless people have wanted to break through the shackles of heaven. However, they couldn’t. It does not matter. Even if they failed, I’ll still keep trying!”

Jiang Ming took a deep breath, and his desire to become more powerful grew stronger.

“Regardless, I should leave this place first. I’ve gained a lot on this trip, and I’ve accumulated countless fragments of the great cultivation in my body. Perhaps it’s time to prepare for the Foundation Establishment Realm.”

Jiang Ming gathered his thoughts and climbed up the abyss.

“By the way, I don’t know what this bundle of firewood is.”

It was just a bundle of ordinary firewood. However, when he reached out and touched it, it was extremely tough and could not be broken.

“You really have some skill!”

Jiang Ming was not surprised at all. The old man on the starlit path had given out the invincible technique of the Hundred Tribulations Sacred Body. The things that the old man in the farmhouse gave him would obviously be extraordinary.

However, now was not the time to study the firewood. Jiang Ming could only put it into the storage ring and continue to climb up the abyss.

“Damn it! It’s been half a month. Why isn’t he back yet?”

On the scorched earth, a black sword was hiding in a crack between some mountain rocks, peeking out secretly, occasionally letting out a few words that only it could hear.

In front of it, figures were moving back and forth on the scorched earth. There were also some figures in the ruins, who seemed to be exploring the space. However, spiritual energy could not be used here. Thus, they were making extremely slow progress.

“These rats still want to catch me. Don’t make me stab you to death!”

The black sword said the most vicious words. However, it did not move. It had disguised its aura as well.

“A man knows when to yield and when to stand tall. Huh? There was some movement just now. Has my new master returned?” The black sword suddenly straightened its blade and swayed gently, like a dog wagging its tail.

The faint light that connected heaven and earth flickered slightly, causing everyone to be excited. They rushed to the edge of the abyss and stared at the faint light.

The black sword was also excited and quickly looked at the faint light. It had seen with its own eyes that the man had been swept away by the faint light earlier. If it had not been waiting for that man, it would have fled long ago.

“There’s someone there!”

Suddenly, someone exclaimed and pointed to the bottom of the abyss.

A figure leaped up from the bottom of the abyss at lightning speed, approaching the ground in a few breaths.

Jiang Ming jumped up, drew an arc in the air, and landed firmly on the scorched earth.

“As expected, people have come here.”

Jiang Ming frowned slightly and stared at the people in front of him. They did not seem to be too flustered. They seemed to be martial artists of the Foundation Establishment Realm. Judging from their clothes, they seemed to all be from the major forces.

“I don’t know how much time has passed. However, these forces have already sent people in to explore,” Jiang Ming muttered to himself.

Although it was not that difficult to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm of martial arts after the Qi Refinement Realm and the Foundation Establishment Realm of immortal cultivation, it still required a huge number of resources and extraordinary talent. Not everyone could reach this step. These people were definitely the cream of the crop of the major forces.

“However, there are no martial artists above the Foundation Establishment Realm. Is this the ceiling of martial arts cultivation for these major forces?”

Jiang Ming looked at these people and made an assumption.

The people on the other side were also looking at Jiang Ming. Many people were shocked and suspicious. They wanted to know what this man experienced at the bottom of the abyss.

They had also sent people down into the abyss. However, none of them had run into this man. Was there a secret place down there?

A middle-aged man with gloomy eyes walked out first and stared at Jiang Ming coldly. He shouted in a deep voice, “Are you Yan Chixia? How dare you snatch what belongs to the Cangming Grotto-Heaven?”

Jiang Ming could not be bothered to talk nonsense with him. His martial arts cultivation erupted with full force, and his blood Qi condensed into a blade, slashing wildly at the middle-aged man.

“Even though we just met, you’re already accusing me of such vile things! How can you be a good person? Die!”

Jiang Ming’s eyes were as calm as an ancient well. He had been beaten more than forty times on the starlit path, and he had yet to vent his anger. Killing this man was a perfect opportunity to do so.

Moreover, Jiang Ming had experienced dozens of battles, and the opponents he faced were all amazing cultivators. He had gained a lot of experience.

“You’re courting death!” The middle-aged man was shocked and angry. He did not expect that this young man would dare attack him directly. He immediately burst out his blood Qi and attacked Jiang Ming.
