Immortal Skills - Chapter 131
131 Investigating the Immortal Encounter (1)
“What do you think of the person that killed the Liang family’s head?” Jiang Ming asked with great interest.
When Jiang Ming first met Wu Hen, he felt that there was a strange temperament about him. He was obviously in the crowd, but he was easily ignored. He was so inconspicuous that he would make the perfect assassin.
When he heard that Wu Hen saw the path of Grandmaster because of the power that killed the Liang family head, Jiang Ming was naturally very interested.
After all, according to Jiang Ming’s speculations, that force was closely related to the deeper secrets of this world.

Wu Hen thought for a while and said, “I’m not sure, but I didn’t feel any fear at that time. Instead, I felt a sense of intimacy. I couldn’t help but want to merge into it, and then, my comprehension suddenly increased. I can feel that my power is one with nature.”
Jiang Ming could not help but look at him a few more times. Was Wu Hen blessed by the heavens?
“However, there is a higher possibility that he is talented in the art of assassination. He is amazing. He can sense most things that ordinary people cannot sense. He has an amazing future ahead of him.”
Jiang Ming was very satisfied. If such a person became a Grandmaster, he would be much more terrifying than an ordinary Grandmaster. No one in the world would be able to stand against him—aside from Jiang Ming of course.
Jiang Ming closed his eyes and pondered. “In the past, I thought the laws of this world were man-made. But from everything I’ve seen so far, there is indeed a higher power that governs this world. Whoever violates their laws will die! Now that I’ve encountered the immortal cultivators of this world, it’s not certain who will win or lose. But when I reach the peak of the Grandmaster realm, I’ll practice the immortal cultivation method. Thus, wouldn’t I be invincible? If I go to the world of immortal cultivators in the future and find it difficult, I’ll simply return to this world. Whoever chases me will be restricted and I’ll defeat them!”
Unconsciously, Jiang Ming had begun to think about repeatedly jumping between the two worlds in the future.
“It’s a pity that there’s no spiritual energy in this world. Otherwise, I could plant some spiritual herbs, raise some spiritual beasts, and so on,” Jiang Ming mumbled. However, the situation was not bleak. When the immortal encounter occurred in the Cloudy Dream Mountain Forest, didn’t a wave of spiritual energy burst out?
Although the laws of the world were cruel to immortal cultivators, they did not seem to suppress spiritual energy itself. If he could find a place with a little more spiritual energy, it would not be impossible to practice immortal cultivation techniques.

Jiang Ming returned to the Cloudy Dream Mountain Forest again, but he did not visit Peace County. Instead, he went directly into the depths of the mountain. On a steep and isolated peak, he built a small wooden house and concentrated on cultivating.
Occasionally, he would walk down the mountain and stroll around the Cloudy Dream Mountain Forest. He would watch the sunrise and sunset with the aging Master Si and Black Bean.
In Peace County, he disguised himself as a middle-aged wood carver and was well-liked by the townsfolk.

Jiang Ming sat cross-legged in the wooden house and waited for his heart to be as calm as water. Once again, he circulated the Blood Spirit Technique. After a trace of spiritual energy appeared in his body, he immediately began to practice the Five Elemental Arts.
“The human spiritual core is extremely mysterious. I have to be calm…”
He controlled the trace of spiritual energy and directed it to his spiritual core, trying to open it up.
However, even if Jiang Ming was not in a hurry, the difficulty of immortal cultivation was far beyond his expectations.

Two and a half years passed.
On the cliff of the lone peak, Jiang Ming sat cross-legged and controlled the trace of spiritual energy, trying to open up his spiritual core again.
Suddenly, Jiang Ming’s body trembled, and the wisp of spiritual energy disappeared without a trace. But what followed was an extremely mysterious feeling in his lower abdomen.
Jiang Ming suddenly opened his eyes and stood up.
“Finally! I’ve opened up my spiritual core!”
He let out a long cry, startling the birds in the forest.
Jiang Ming sighed with emotion. After a long time, he finally calmed down. He closed his eyes and sensed the newly opened spiritual core.
