The news of the appearance of a mysterious Celestial Phenomenon Ascendant began to spread in Xingwu County at an extremely fast speed.
However, Wu Ming had already arrived at the gate of Three Suns Sect, and it was hard for outsiders to see him.
The stories of his reputation in the outside world, such as him spitting out flying swords and ordering three armies to submit to him with a single word, had also become more and more unreliable and full of falsehoods.
Of course, Wu Ming didn't care about it at all.
Three Suns Sect was in Boyang City, occupying the best land in the east. They built an inner city and stationed an army there. They had an unbreakable control over the county.
"Ding Jiao!"
Right now, Wu Ming was casually flipping through the 'Three Jiao Mysterious Yang Power' and other martial arts. He shook his head helplessly. "This martial art focuses on cultivating the three Yang Tendons and Veins. There should be another martial art that matches it. Although you have barely reached the Earth Origin Stage, it is too taxing on your body and draining your Profound Qi. I'm afraid it will be a big problem for you …"
"You are right, senior!"
Ding Jiao nodded and bowed. At the same time, he felt bitter inside. Three Suns Sect was only a second-rate sect in Xingwu County. It was only because of the decline of Zhen Yang Sect that they took the opportunity to destroy them and take their martial arts.
This was only half of the martial art. The other half should be about cultivating the Yin Meridian, but it was nowhere to be found.
"Go find the herbs I asked for, and I can start to make dan beads. Although I can't make you recover completely, it won't be hard to extend your life by a few years …"
Wu Ming shook his head and said.
"Thank you, senior! Thank you, senior! "
Ding Jiao was naturally very humble, and he kept thanking him.
Speaking of which, after Wu Ming arrived at the Triple Sun Sect that day, he displayed an extremely exquisite medical skill that could practically revive the dead and regrow flesh and bones. He even saw through the hidden dangers of Ding Jiao's cultivation method with a single glance, causing him to be instantly shocked.
In order to ask for Wu Ming's help, Ding Jiao had to give Wu Ming his secret martial art, which greatly enriched Ding Jiao's knowledge.
As for whether this senior came for martial arts?
Ding Jiao hadn't thought about this at all. After all, with the strength he'd displayed, it was more than enough to destroy the entire Triple Sun Sect. There was no need for him to take such a roundabout route.
"I'm going to the library to read. You can go now!"
Wu Ming waved his hand, and Lin Xin Lan, who was behind him, immediately came out, and sent him off like a servant.
Ding Jiao and the others knew that she was traveling with Wu Ming, so they didn't dare to be negligent and brought her into the sect.
On the other hand, Wu Ming did not reject, which made Lin Xinlan feel relieved.
From then on, this woman had considered herself to be his servant, and her intentions were obvious. It caused Wu Ming to be slightly speechless.
…
"Greetings, Senior!"
At this time, Ding Jiao had already withdrawn all the disciples from the Library Pavilion, leaving only a few old officials who were familiar with ancient books for Wu Ming to use.
"Let's follow the rules and start from yesterday's history book!"
Wu Ming came to a large, bright table and said.
"Yes sir!"
These people were already used to this, and moved a thick stack of books onto the table. The book on the top was even marked with the end of yesterday's book.
On the side, Lin Xin Lan silently looked at Wu Ming, occasionally adding tea and water. It must have been hard for a lady like her to be able to do all this without feeling wronged.
Sha sha!
The Library Pavilion was completely silent, only the sound of Wu Ming flipping through the books could be heard.
Lin Xin Lan stared at this scene in a daze. She saw that Wu Ming was reading extremely quickly, reading ten lines at a time. In less than half an hour, he had already flipped through the entire stack of books.
Of course, she didn't know that right now, Wu Ming was eagerly absorbing all the knowledge related to the world of Shen Wu.
After a long time, Wu Ming waved his hand and leaned back in his chair.
"The Triple Sun Sect's Library Pavilion was built after the True Yang Sect, so it's quite rich … From martial arts to medicine, to historical books, legends and legends, everything is included …"
In the olden days, those who were able to build a library and pass down their knowledge were mostly those with special privileges.
And without a doubt, the True Yang Sect and the Triple Sun Sect were the most powerful forces in Xing Wu county, so they also had the richest collection of books, which caught Wu Ming's attention right from the start.
He closed his eyes, all the information he read today instantly appeared in his Thought Sea, quickly analyzed and organized.
For a Deity's primordial spirit to do this is extremely easy.
"The history of Shen Wu world can be divided into three periods … … the Age of Old, the age of ignorance and savagery, there aren't many records left … … then there was the era when the Martial King unified the continent and established the Dynasty … … and finally the current era, 500 years after the fall of the Dynasty, all the sects have taken control of the world, constantly fighting each other …"
"Legend has it that in the Era of the First People, the environment was harsh, the people were ignorant, and there were wild beasts causing havoc, the entire human race was in dire straits …"
"Fighting against the harsh environment, as well as fighting against wild beasts, the most basic martial arts concept appeared, the purest form of hunting and killing techniques …"
"After a few thousand years, the continent slowly entered the stage of civilization, and the Divine King appeared!"
"This person is truly a genius, to be able to integrate all the martial arts in the world, creating a systematic system of martial arts, even creating a ranking system for martial artists. He was the first to break through to Celestial Phenomenon, and in the end, it was clearly recorded that he achieved the body of a Demon God, never losing a single battle and unified the world!"
"The division of Demon God and Demon God was created because of him … and because of this, he was given the title of — — Martial King!"
"After the Wu Dynasty ruled the continent for a thousand years, the last Royal Family fell, the eight great families allied to attack the Royal Palace, killing the Last Emperor and stealing the Royal Palace's armory, causing a large amount of scriptures to be spread, causing the sects to rise …"
"And the eight great families also benefited the most from this, becoming the Holy Land of martial arts in the future, their inheritances never ending …"
…
"This Martial King, is very suspicious!"
Bam!
Wu Ming concluded in his mind, then suddenly opened his eyes: "Are there any more records of the Martial King?"
"Please forgive us, senior!"
The old scribes looked at each other with troubled expressions: "His Majesty the Martial King is an ancient person from over a thousand years ago, and ever since the world fell into chaos, there have been many false records …"
There was one more thing they didn't mention, which was that the Eight Holy Land of martial arts did everything they could to discredit him, causing the legend of the Martial King to become even more mysterious.
"The Eight Great Sects … still can't get around this …"
Wu Ming knew where he should go next.
Of course, he can't exclude the possibility that the Martial King was only the Son of Providence of Shen Wu world, that's why he was able to achieve so much. Because of that, he can't let go of any other strange rumors.
"Gongzi …"
Right at this time, a pair of soft hands came to his shoulder, lightly massaging it. Lin Xin Lan's voice came from behind him: "If gongzi needs information on the Eight Great Sects, I also have it here …"
"Hm?!"
Wu Ming turned around, his eyes glowing, then waved his hand: "Aside from Xin Lan, the rest of you leave!"
"We'll be leaving!"
The others immediately left, closing the door behind them.
"Alright … I can guarantee that in the entire library, there's only you and me, if there's anything you want to say, just say it …"
Wu Ming looked at the thread of green energy that was bursting out from Lin Xinlan's external energy.
If it wasn't for that, he would've thought this girl was a liar.
"Gongzi seems to be interested in the Martial King and the Eight Great Sects?"
Lin Xin Lan clenched her teeth: "This servant's ancestor used to be an outer disciple of one of the Eight Great Sects, the Green Lotus School. But after he was expelled, he came to another place and started his own branch!"
"Oh?"
Wu Ming raised his eyebrows, as if he wasn't surprised at all.
Lin Xinlan could only reveal another great secret when she saw this. "According to this servant's grandfather, not only was there a secret behind the matter of Ancestor being expelled from the sect all those years ago, he even brought out a precious treasure from the Azurelotus Sect!"
"Wait a minute …"
Wu Ming's expression was a bit strange: "You can't be thinking of saying …"
"That's right …" Lin Xin Lan said: "That 'Thousand Miles Rivers and Mountains Painting' is what my ancestor took out of the Green Lotus School!"
She took a deep breath: "Although people know that my ancestor learned the martial art from this painting and reached the Earth Origin Stage, they don't know that it came from the Wu Dynasty's secret storage!"
"The Wu Dynasty's secret storage?"
Wu Ming smiled thoughtfully: "Now that you mention it, I'm a bit interested!"
Lin Xin Lan bitterly smiled: "Even the royal family's storage is divided into rare and ordinary treasures. If it was a real treasure, my ancestor wouldn't have had it. According to my grandfather, that 'Thousand Miles Rivers and Mountains Painting', even though there's a secret skill hidden in it, it's only at the Earth Origin Stage. However, there's a bit of martial art intent in it, which might be helpful for Earth Origin Stage cultivators to break through …"
"You've said so much, but you still haven't told me what you want!"
Wu Ming calmly said: "You should know my personality. If there's a debt, I'll pay it back. What do you want me to do with this painting?"
Lin Xin Lan immediately knelt down: "Young master saved my life, and I should be grateful. I shouldn't ask for too much, but I really can't take revenge for the destruction of my family, so I can only shamelessly ask for your help!"
She paused and then said: "No matter if you agree or not, I'm willing to give you the 'Thousand Miles Rivers and Mountains Painting', and I'll be your slave forever. If I break this oath, I'll be abandoned by the heavens!"
"Since you're so determined …"
Wu Ming waved his hand, and Lin Xin Lan suddenly felt a gentle force pulling her up.
"Who's your enemy?"
"Cangwu County, Black Tiger Gang, Yu Wenlong!"
Lin Xin Lan said one word at a time. Apparently, she had said the name of her enemy thousands of times, "He's an Earth Origin Stage cultivator, ranked 67th on the Earth Origin List!"
She then added: "And I've already investigated. This guy doesn't have any connections with any big sects, and he doesn't have a Celestial Origin Stage cultivator behind him …"
Obviously, she knew Wu Ming's personality quite well.
She was afraid that Yu Wenlong would be too hard to deal with and give up on the 'Thousand Miles Rivers and Mountains Painting'.
She waited anxiously, and couldn't help but feel a bit suffocated.
"If that's the case, then give me the painting!"
After what seemed like a moment, but also like a long time, Lin Xin Lan finally heard the voice that made her feel relieved, and she couldn't help but cry tears of joy.
