As An Immortal, I Only Learn Forbidden Skills

346 Saint Cultivation Platform (2)

Jiang Ming gradually calmed down. “In that case, there is nothing to be afraid of. As long as the two of them do not cause any trouble, it has nothing to do with me.”

In just a short moment, he had figured it out. The world of immortal cultivation was so big, and there were countless strange places. It was not a big deal to meet people who were different.

After changing his mindset, he actually had some interest in this strange little girl.

“Alright!” Jiang Ming nodded. He did not have any thoughts of being the best in the world and rushing up to crush the enemies. He was quite satisfied with Yang Changshan’s plan. Keeping a low profile and making a fortune was the right way.

After a while, the three of them found a cave. They rested there temporarily.

Late at night, Zhu An’an was cultivating with her eyes closed in the depths of the cave. Jiang Ming and Yang Changshan sat beside a bonfire and chatted casually.

“Are you familiar with this place?” Jiang Ming asked.

During the day, Yang Changshan had explained everything about this opportunity. He did not seem like someone who had come to seek an opportunity to cure a terminal illness for the first time.

Yang Changshan was stunned for a moment before he smiled bitterly and said, “Zhang Shan, you look young, but your mind is quite meticulous. That’s right, I can be said to be extremely familiar with this place! I arrived here for the first time more than twelve decades ago. I even came here a second time sixty years ago. It’s a pity that I was too weak back then. I didn’t manage to seek any opportunities both times!” Yang Changshan laughed self-deprecatingly. “In the sect, my aptitude is average. I only reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm after cultivating for more than two hundred years. It’s a pity that there’s no hope of breaking through to the Golden Core Realm in this life. It is just that I still have a disciple who I cannot let go of. Otherwise, why would I enter this place for the third time?” Yang Changshan glanced at Zhu An’an, who was cultivating seriously in the depths of the cave, and a gentle expression appeared on his face.

Jiang Ming’s eyes moved slightly. He felt that Yang Changshan’s expression at this time did not seem to be fake.

He somewhat wanted to ask what kind of terminal illness Zhu An’an had. However, he could not bring himself to ask. The other party had used an artifact to conceal Zhu An’an’s aura, clearly not wanting outsiders to know about Zhu An’an’s background. If he rashly asked, it would seem somewhat impolite.

Jiang Ming no longer asked too much about this matter. He discussed the path of immortal cultivation with Yang Changshan and exchanged some insights about their cultivation experiences.

Although Jiang Ming did not think much of Yang Changshan’s strength, Yang Changshan lived in this world for more than two centuries. He must have seen and heard much more than Jiang Ming, who had lived in various places for the same amount of time.

However, along the way, Jiang Ming amassed a lot of immortal cultivation books and various scriptures and spells. He was not stingy and shared them with Yang Changshan.

In the end, Yang Changshan showed him some of the Ghost Spirit Sect’s spells to Jiang Ming. It was not a peerless secret technique. However, Jiang Ming benefited a lot from it.

“Rumors have it that the Ghost Spirit Sect cultivators are introverted. Wherever they pass by, ghostly fog will fill the sky, causing people to fear them. I didn’t expect that the first time I met a cultivator from your sect, the feeling I got would be completely different,” said Jiang Ming with a smile.

Yang Changshan was not surprised at all. He smiled mysteriously and said, “Humans and ghosts are separated by life and death. Everyone in the world is afraid of death. Naturally, they are also afraid of so-called ghosts and spirits. They see them as ominous. However, who knows, the ominous existence that many people fear might be the person that others yearn to see day and night. If they can see each other again, it doesn’t matter what they are.”

He followed Yang Changshan’s train of thought. “Then according to what you said, the Ghost Spirit Sect’s cultivation path is to raise ghosts and refine them. From another perspective, can it also re-materialize some people that you miss day and night? Is it the same as reviving them?”

Yang Changshan smiled. “Many cultivators who joined the Ghost Spirit Sect already had bright prospects. However, some people resolutely destroyed their cultivation base and re-cultivated the Ghost Spirit Sect’s cultivation technique. Perhaps many of them are indeed unsociable and unlikeable. However, they are definitely not fierce or evil people. The Ghost Spirit Sect’s philosophy has never been to cause trouble. We only seek peace.”

Jiang Ming raised his eyebrows. He had gained some knowledge today.

However, he then said with a faint smile, “Although your sect’s philosophy is good, the path of ghost training is not the orthodox immortal cultivation after all. It’s a different path that relies on the external force of ghosts. If your sect is really as you said, your reputation in the outside world will probably not be so terrifying.”

Although the Ghost Spirit Sect was inconspicuous in the world of immortal cultivation, Jiang Ming had heard rumors about this sect several times when he was in Xiaoqian Mountain. They were famous for their ruthless methods, and there were even rumors of them massacring mortal villages.

According to Yang Changshan, the cultivation path of the Ghost Spirit Sect was based on the cultivation of ghosts. Although there were many cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation, they were only a drop in the ocean compared to mortals. It was almost inevitable that someone would have evil thoughts and attempt to use the lives of mortals to nurture ghosts.

Hearing this, Yang Changshan’s eyes darkened as he sighed, “People can be evil. Just as you said, there are some people in the Ghost Spirit Sect who have different cultivation ideals and have caused many deaths in recent years. Zhang Shan, if you encounter a Ghost Spirit Sect cultivator in this place in a few days, please don’t let your guard down!”

Jiang Ming’s eyelids twitched. Yang Changshan actually spoke about the Ghost Spirit Sect’s dirty little secret without any hesitation.

However, he could not be bothered to ask about other people’s matters. He only chatted for a while and then brushed it off.

Three days later, the spiritual energy here suddenly became more and more chaotic. One could even see wisps of faint light in the sky, gathering toward the depths of the snowy valley like a haze.

“The opportunity is about to open!”

Jiang Ming and the other two did not hesitate and set off immediately.

In three days, the wounds in Jiang Ming’s body had been mostly healed by the mysterious seed. Only some stubborn wounds remained. However, it did not have much impact on Jiang Ming’s strength.

After crossing a huge glacier, Jiang Ming finally saw the final destination of this trip.

Up ahead, the clouds gathered in the sky. All kinds of light rays collided and shot out, exploding into dazzling rainbow streaks.

“It is indeed the end of the Foundation Establishment Realm area. It is almost connected to the Golden Core Realm area.” Jiang Ming looked up at the sky. There was another flame in the depths of the light. It contained a pressure far beyond this place. It obviously belonged to the Golden Core Realm area.

Under the gorgeous haze, a vast river filled with cold foam surged forward. Even from afar, one could hear the thunderous roar.

“That’s the Guanghan River. It’s rumored that it was a wonder in the world of immortal cultivation ten thousand years ago. In the end, it was moved by a saint into his own blessed land of cultivation with great power,” Yang Changshan said.

“Ten thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye. However, the Guanghan River still flows,” Jiang Ming said softly.

On the other side of the Guanghan River, on a towering peak that reached the clouds, thousands of rays of light fell down like a waterfall from the sky. They contained extremely pure spiritual energy and vitality, making the frozen sides of the Guanghan River bloom with flowers. It was spring.

“Let’s go. The Saint Cultivation Platform has opened.”
