Immortal Skills

342 Ghost Spirit Sect (1)

In the silent valley, a figure slowly moved forward and gradually disappeared into the vast snowy valley, leaving only a trail of shallow footprints that were quickly covered by falling snow.

“The concentration of spiritual energy here seems to have increased by a lot. The subtle mysterious power of heaven and earth is also gathering in front of us.”

Jiang Ming’s face was a little pale. The wounds in his body continued to wreak havoc, causing him some pain. After all, it was a Saint Realm attack. Even if it was a projection, it was not something that a mere Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator like him could withstand.

However, now that the indestructible origin light was pretending to be dead, Jiang Ming could only let the mysterious seed in his spirit base slowly absorb nutrients and heal his injuries. Meanwhile, he was slowly treading on the deep snow as he went deeper into the valley, sensing the changes in the surrounding environment.

“The opportunity at the end of the snowy valley is finally about to open. Other than a few forces with ulterior motives such as the Mysterious Star Grotto-Heaven, the Foundation Establishment Realm geniuses of the other immortal cultivation forces should have all gathered there.”

According to the information that Jiang Ming had collected, that place of opportunity did not seem to simply open anytime and anywhere. Instead, it would only open at a specific time once every sixty years when the Black Rock Ruins opened. It contained great benefits. In the past, every time it opened, it could produce several stunning peerless geniuses who became the core figures of each sect.

This was also the reason why Jiang Ming was not in a hurry to go there. With Wu Hen’s ability, as long as he was not attacked head-on, it should not be difficult for him to hide in a crowd.

However, if he wanted to fight for this opportunity, it was impossible for him to hide in the crowd all the time. Sooner or later, he would have to come out.

“However, Wu Hen actually took the initiative to come and take the risk to compete with the various geniuses for this opportunity. It is quite surprising,” Jiang Ming muttered to himself. He thought that Wu Hen had entered the Black Rock Ruins to fish in troubled waters and gain some benefits. He did not expect Wu Hen to be so ambitious.

Jiang Ming furrowed his brows. Based on his understanding of Wu Hen, he should not be in the limelight for no reason, let alone the fact that he had almost been killed.

There must be a reason he did not know.

“Were you forced by someone to come here and fight for the Saint’s scripture? Or are you stuck at a bottleneck and are unable to break through? Therefore, you came here to seek a way to break through.”

Jiang Ming’s eyes flashed. Back in the Cloudy Dream Mountain Forest, Jiang Ming had imagined that he would eventually become heartless as the years went on. However, that seemed to not be the case

“Looks like I’m still a good person!” Jiang Ming sighed.

“However, I can’t rush it. I have to heal my injuries first. I still need to do my best. I’ll be facing some of the most powerful geniuses in the Feather Kingdom. I must put my best foot forward.”

Jiang Ming spoke softly and continued to circulate the Burning Spirit Scripture to assist the seed in absorbing and refining the sword intent in his body. With the help of the circulation of the technique, the light in his spirit base surged, making the seed seem stronger and able to absorb the sword intent faster.

As the seed continued to absorb the sword intent, its appearance became more robust. A protruding arc appeared at the top, as if it could break open and sprout at any time.

Jiang Ming had never heard of such a change. The indestructible origin light in the depths of his consciousness was also extremely silent. He could only let it develop.

Half a day later, the sky gradually darkened. Jiang Ming walked into a withered forest. The white snow under his feet reflected the moonlight, and there were mysterious withered trees around him. In the dark night, they were like monsters that were baring their fangs and brandishing their claws as they looked down at Jiang Ming.

Jiang Ming looked up and glanced at these mysterious trees. Other places were covered in ice and snow. However, this forest was bare and looked particularly strange.

“There must be something wrong with this place. Let’s leave.” Jiang Ming shook his head and quickened his pace.

Now that the opportunity was right in front of him, he did not want to cause any more trouble.

However, the more one feared something, the more he would attract it.

Just as he leaped up and was about to fly through the sky to avoid the forest, a pitch-black vine suddenly shot down from below.

The tree vines whistled through the air. The vines were as sharp as swords, flashing with a dark light as they shot at Jiang Ming.

“F*ck!”

Jiang Ming’s eyelids twitched.

“It’s just a tree spirit. However, it still wants to challenge me. It sure has some guts!” Jiang Ming sneered and flicked his finger. An attack shot out, surrounded by glaring flames, and slashed down.

He used the Fire Metal Sword Technique.

The power of metal and fire was extremely effective against the power of wood. With the enhancement of Jiang Ming’s Burning Spirit Scripture, his attack contained an extremely terrifying destructive power. It immediately tore apart the incoming tree vines.
