Ling Tian was afraid that if he were to dig a hole from the outside, he would be discovered by the patrolling guards of the Shui Family. Thus, he decided to dig a deeper hole from the inside.
Not long after, he had already dug to the place where Ling Tian had broken the seal. Ling Tian carefully dug, afraid that he would damage the seal and lose its medicinal properties. After a full hour, he finally managed to dig it out completely. The surface of the sealwort was squashed flat and full of potholes. Ling Tian was surprised to find that the innermost part of the sealwort was actually a pure white color! The outer part was red in color, and the deeper he went, the more he saw a transition from pink to pure white.
Just by smelling it, he could feel a refreshing fragrance wafting into his nose, causing him to feel comfortable all over. Although Ling Tian was unable to determine how old the seal had been growing for, he knew that it was definitely not an ordinary item. It was at least a thousand years old! Ling Tian casually broke off a section of the white seal and tossed it into his mouth. Immediately, he felt a cool and refreshing sensation flowing down his throat. Ling Tian circulated his inner qi to refine the medicinal properties while using his inner vision.
Not long after, Ling Tian was pleasantly surprised to find that although his inner qi did not increase, the meridians in his body had become much more stable. Furthermore, there seemed to be a slight increase in flexibility. This caused the inner walls of his meridians to become much more flexible. Ling Tian's meridians had already expanded to their limits, and there was no longer any possibility for them to expand. However, with the release of the medicinal properties of the seal, Ling Tian was pleasantly surprised to find that his meridians could undergo another breakthrough!
This seal of unknown age was actually a type of spiritual medicine that could strengthen one's foundation! With this medicinal properties, Ling Tian was confident that he could raise the martial arts of Ling Jian and the rest to another level in a short period of time! Furthermore, it would not affect the growth of their martial arts, and there would be no possibility of their strength growth stopping. Moreover, there was no need to worry about the greatest disaster of qi deviation caused by the tolerance of the meridians!
After carefully wrapping up the sealwort like it was a treasure, Ling Tian leaned out and observed it more carefully. Since such a Spirit Herb could grow here, it must be the place with the most abundant Spirit Qi. Moreover, the quality of the stone walls here was completely different from any other place. This was definitely not a coincidence! Ling Tian reckoned that the so-called Heaven and Earth Essence should be on this strange stone wall!
After careful observation, Ling Tian once again used the Gecko Wall Climbing Technique and slid down the stone wall, but this time, his speed was slower and he observed more carefully.
After sliding down another four hundred feet, Ling Tian's body slowly disappeared into the fog. At this moment, even if someone were to watch from the top of the cliff, they would not be able to see Ling Tian's figure. Ling Tian's hands and feet gradually loosened, and he began to search the stone walls wantonly.
"Hehehe …" Ling Tian's mouth let out a burst of proud laughter. The hard stone wall on the left in front of him actually showed signs of weathering. Ling Tian slid down nearly a thousand feet, and the places he passed were all smooth and flat. Such a situation had never happened before.
There must be a reason for this abnormality!
Ling Tian controlled his body and slowly moved over to this stone wall. His left hand gently touched it, and he suddenly used all of his martial arts to turn into a gentle force, and slapped it hard …
"Boom!" Ling Tian fell head first into it! His snow-white body was covered with stone chips, and he stood up with a dusty face. He wiped his face a few times, and Ling Tian muttered curses, "Damn it, it turned out to be hollow …"
This was actually a cave! It was just that no one knew how many years it had been without anyone managing it, and there were some depressions in this place. Over the years, the dust had poured in, and over time, it was sealed. In addition, it was currently spring, and the severe winter had just passed. Under this cliff, the frost had just melted, and it was the softest time. Therefore, Ling Tian was caught off guard and fell in …
Ling Tian used his martial arts, and his arms madly swung. The wind blew, and the dust and stone chips in the cave were blown out, revealing a deep cave entrance. Ling Tian patted his body, and no longer hesitated, he lowered his head and went in.
After a few bends, his feet were already quite dry. After walking for a while, the cave became more and more spacious, and it was enough to allow two people to walk side by side.
After turning around the stone wall in front of him, Ling Tian's eyes suddenly lit up. In front of him was a stone room the size of two houses, and there were tables, chairs, benches, and beds. It seemed that someone had lived here before. Ling Tian couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement. This cave wasn't on top of the cliff, and it wasn't on top of the ground. There was no doubt that the person who lived here was a top martial arts expert!
After looking carefully, he found that there was another entrance to the side. He walked in, and found that there were two stone rooms. One of them was a granary built with stones. The grains inside had already turned into black ash, and it was impossible to tell how old they were. Walking further in, there was a slightly smaller stone room. Ling Tian poked his head in to take a look, and couldn't help but be surprised.
Facing the direction of the door, there was a skeleton sitting cross-legged. There was no flesh on its body, and a green robe covered the skeleton's body. In front of the skeleton, there was a stone table. On top of it, there was a wine pot of unknown material, a jade wine cup, and a book made of unknown material.
Ling Tian straightened his face, and entered with a solemn expression. He bowed to the skeleton and said, "Junior Ling Tian, I took the liberty to disturb senior's spirit today. Please forgive me."
Ling Tian was arrogant, but he wouldn't be rude to a senior who was already dead.
Moreover, it could be seen from the layout of this place that such a person couldn't be an ordinary person.
He slowly walked in, and raised his eyes to look around. He saw a few lines of writing on the stone wall on the right. Ling Tian waved his sleeve, and the writing suddenly appeared clearly.
Since I was young, I roamed the Jianghu alone with only a sword. Although I experienced many hardships, I never changed. When I reached middle age, I looked up and saw that there was no one in the world who could resist me! How sad! At this peak, I knew that there was no way forward, and there was no door to retreat.
Today, I have only two hundred years of life left. Unfortunately, I have lost one hundred and seventy years of my life in cultivation! I have no wife, no children, and no daughters. I can be called a single husband!
Before I left, I asked the Heaven, what is the meaning of life? What joy is there? I don't know!
I knew that my lifespan was not long, and I only had a few decades left. I unintentionally visited this place, and found that the spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth gathered here. It was a natural spiritual vein. Wherever Heaven and Earth loved, there would definitely be treasures of Heaven and Earth appearing, so I searched for them.
I spent a month to open up a passage and came here. Only then did I realize that the Heavens really wanted me dead! Three feet below the first stone room, there was a 10,000-year Void Azure Spirit Stone. It absorbed the spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth, bathed in the light of the sun and moon. After ten thousand years, it finally became Spirit Stone Immortal Milk! However, I was still one step too early! Although the immortal milk was formed, it wasn't mature. If it was forcefully consumed, it would only cause harm and no benefits! It would instead be a lethal poison!
Alas, is this the time or fate? Another hundred years of immortal milk would be formed, but I don't have a hundred years left to live!
In my despair, I chiseled a stone in the inner wall of this cliff and lived here for a long time. Although I can't enjoy the 10,000-year Void Azure, it can strengthen my body. The Heavens' will has arrived, and it's not something that can be changed by human strength!
I looked down on the world and laughed at the wind and clouds. I have no regrets in this life! I have recorded my All-Seeing Divine Technique, fist and sword manuals, and placed them in the cave as a gift to those who are fated. If the younger generation obtains my divine technique, it will be enough for them to roam the Jianghu!
Human nature is greedy. If the world knows that there is such a heavenly treasure here, it will inevitably lead to countless killings. I have roamed the world and killed countless people. However, before I die, I don't want to see blood in the world again! I have used my All-Seeing Divine Technique to embed the Hidden Brilliant Jade and the Sky Splitting Sword into this secret and exiled it to the Jianghu. Those who are not fated will not be able to understand its secrets!
The person who obtains this secret treasure must be a person with great fortune and can do as he wishes!
Who was Jun Zhan Tian? Ling Tian did not know. Perhaps it was because too much time had passed and the deeds of his senior had already been lost in the dust of time. However, Ling Tian was certain that this Jun Zhan Tian was definitely an earth-shattering character in his era!
Ling Tian checked the date and was shocked to find that the date Jun Zhan Tian left his words was already 3,400 years ago! He could not help but suck in a breath of cold air!
Ling Tian's heart was filled with respect. On the stone wall in front of him, there were over 500 words written in a single breath! What kind of inner strength was required to achieve such a feat? With Ling Tian's current cultivation, it was impossible for him to achieve such a feat. If it was just writing tens of words or tens of words, Ling Tian would still be able to do it. But to write hundreds of words on the stone wall in a single breath without any signs of deterioration, it was impossible! This level of cultivation was truly heaven-shaking and earth-shattering!
Even the number one expert in the world, Justice, definitely did not have such a level of cultivation! Such a world-shaking expert, in the end, still had to silently rest in this small stone room!
The most admirable thing was that this person's magnanimity was something that millions of people could not do. It wasn't easy for him to find a Heaven Earth Spirit Herb, but he could not consume it. He knew that it would mature in another hundred years, but he did not have the lifespan to do so … This was a huge blow to him! If a narrow-minded person were to encounter such a situation, they would probably destroy the Heaven Earth Spirit Vein in a fit of rage! En, if I can't obtain it, no one else can either! …
But not only did this person not do so, he even made detailed arrangements for it! How could others compare to such a broad-mindedness?
Moreover, in the last sentence, this person showed an incomparably magnanimous heart. 'Do as your heart desires', just this one sentence alone showed that this person was not some pedantic hypocrite. He was straightforward and did not leave any restrictions for the person who obtained this secret. He also did not hypocritically say that saving the world was his responsibility and so on. This caused Ling Tian to be filled with admiration.
As Ling Tian looked at the seated skeleton, he could not help but feel a sense of respect for it.
Walking lightly to the stone table, he picked up the book and flipped through it. There were five types of martial arts recorded on it. The first was the Supreme Divine Technique, the second was the Supreme Sword Technique, the third was the Supreme Palm Technique, the fourth was the Supreme Finger Technique, and the fifth was the Supreme Step Technique.
From the names, it could be seen that these martial arts were named by this Jun Zhan Tian. It was even possible that they were created by him! Supreme, Ling Tian acknowledged these two words from the bottom of his heart. He acknowledged this incomparably arrogant name. From the words on the stone wall, Supreme was indeed not an exaggeration! Even until now, there was still no one who could surpass the cultivation of this Jun Zhan Tian!
What made Ling Tian feel strange was that he had never heard of this name before. In fact, he had never even heard of such a person. Logically speaking, with this kind of martial arts, this kind of breadth of mind, and this kind of spirit, even after ten thousand years, this person should still be a legendary figure. But for some unknown reason, this person's name had actually disappeared from the world without a trace left behind! To Ling Tian, this was a matter of great regret!
Thinking back to the time when this Senior was unrivalled under the heavens, roaming the pugilistic world and commanding the pugilistic world, Ling Tian could not help but be fascinated!
Looking at them one by one, Ling Tian realized that although the might of these five martial arts could not be compared to his Divine Shocking Dragon Art, and there was still a gap between them and the moves of his previous life, in this world, they were undoubtedly the best martial arts! At the very least, in Ling Tian's opinion, these martial arts were even stronger than the martial arts of Beyond Heavens!
Bowing respectfully, Ling Tian said solemnly, "Senior, please rest assured. Although Ling Tian is unable to personally practice Senior's martial arts, I will definitely find a suitable successor for Senior to pass down Senior's name for thousands of years!"
Standing up, Ling Tian placed the secret manual in his bosom and walked out lightly. Arriving at the first stone room, Ling Tian easily found the floor that contained the Spirit Stone Immortal Milk according to the markings left behind by that person. Using the Heaven Splitter to knock on it, Ling Tian finally understood the meaning of the last two sentences in the jade pendant, 'The sharpness of the Heaven Splitter, cannot be contended with'.
The hardness of the stone floor was not inferior to the stone walls outside. Even if an ordinary sword or saber were to use all their strength to hack at it, they might not be able to leave even the slightest mark. Without a top-notch divine weapon, it would be impossible to cut open the floor!
Naturally, Ling Tian's newly forged Black Iron Sword was also capable of doing so. However, Jun Zhan Tian wouldn't know that. Perhaps in his era, only the Heaven Splitter, an ancient divine weapon, was capable of doing so.
Even with Ling Tian's strength and the sharpness of the Heaven Splitter, he still spent a full two hours before he finally cut open the floor. Three feet underground, a snow-white, almost transparent jade stone was revealed. It was warm to the touch, but incomparably hard!
Ling Tian carefully cut off the surrounding area and grabbed the jade stone with both hands. With a 'hei' sound, he pulled the jade stone out from the ground. After taking two steps, he hurriedly leaned it against the stone wall and took two deep breaths. His forehead was already covered in sweat. Thinking about it, even with Ling Tian's astonishing strength, he still needed to exert so much effort. One could imagine how difficult it was for him to do so.
This jade stone was rectangular in shape and about five feet thick. Its volume was not very big, but it actually weighed a few thousand jin! If Ling Tian had not cultivated the Divine Shocking Dragon Art to the peak of the tenth layer, he would not have been able to pull it out!
Wiping the sweat off his forehead, Ling Tian carefully examined the jade stone. This was his main goal in coming to Heavenly Wind! Looking through the jade stone, he could see a faint light flowing within it, as if it was alive.
Carefully making a mark on the jade stone, Ling Tian circulated his strength and raised the Heaven Splitter. Using 120% of his strength, he heavily chopped down!
With a soft 'zeng' sound, a piece of the jade stone silently fell out. Ling Tian staggered and almost fell down. He did not know whether to laugh or cry as he looked at the jade stone, feeling a little depressed. The surface of the jade stone was so hard, but who would have thought that the sword would cut through it like tofu. If not for Ling Tian retracting his sword quickly, he would have cut his own leg. If Ling Tian were a peerless expert and chopped off his own leg, his name would definitely be recorded in the annals of history. Of course, he would be a laughingstock for thousands of years.
Using his hand to touch it, he found that the inside of the jade stone was actually warm and delicate, almost half liquid …
"No wonder it's like this." Ling Tian muttered to himself. Squatting down, he used his sword to slice the jade stone, layer by layer, as if he was peeling the skin of a carrot. In a short moment, the ground was littered with pieces of the jade stone.
If he took this jade stone out and sold it, he would probably be able to obtain a fortune comparable to that of a country! But Ling Tian clearly did not have the time to care about this right now …
After a full hour, Ling Tian finally finished this project that was almost like embroidery. What was left in his hand was a piece of white jade the size of a corn. It was delicate and smooth, and soft to the touch. Just holding it in his hand already gave him an indescribable feeling of comfort, and he felt as if all the pores on his body were about to open up …
Raising it in front of his eyes, he could see a bright silver light flowing within it.
"This is really good stuff, this trip was really not in vain!" Ling Tian praised. Just as he was about to put it into his clothes, he suddenly froze and looked at his hand. His palm was actually moist! The liquid light within the jade stone had actually seeped through the walls of the jade stone and slowly seeped out.
This seemingly incomparably sturdy jade stone was actually unable to restrain the light emitting from it!
Ling Tian smacked his lips in pity and immediately understood the reason. It seemed like this light was completely dependent on the outer layer of the jade stone, which was like steel. Now that the outer layer was gone, the warm jade stone inside could no longer restrain it.
"What should I do now?" Ling Tian immediately became anxious. If this continued, he was afraid that he would not be able to return and would be completely vaporized.
Just as he was fretting, he suddenly felt the silver light flowing faster and faster, rushing back and forth. With a 'chi' sound, it broke through the walls of the jade stone, and a thin stream of water as thin as a strand of hair sprayed out.
A sweet fragrance instantly filled the entire stone room!
Time waits for no man! Once the time was gone, this Heaven and Earth Spiritual Treasure would completely dissipate! Although Ling Tian was not sure if he could withstand such a huge medicinal effect after consuming it, he did not have the time to think about it now!
Ling Tian steeled his heart and moved his mouth forward, catching the silver light. The clear stream of water rushed into Ling Tian's mouth without a single drop leaking out. It was like a nectar flowing down his throat. Ling Tian immediately felt his entire body float, and his internal organs seemed to have suddenly been purified. An unprecedented feeling of extreme beauty filled every single one of his senses …
Floating like an immortal …
Ling Tian dared to bet with anyone that this feeling was definitely a hundred times better than the feeling of taking drugs! No, it was a thousand times, ten thousand times …
However … (To be continued, if you want to know what happened next, please go to www.qidian.com, there are more chapters. Support the author, support the original reading!)
