n355 Monk Blocking the Way

nBoom!

nJiang Ming’s palm was crystal clear and burst with brilliant spiritual light. He punched the air and a terrifying blood Qi erupted.

nFour or five Foundation Establishment Realm geniuses with extraordinary auras were killed instantly.

nStrands of spiritual light rose and entered Jiang Ming’s body, making his aura even more profound.

nThere were a few figures in the distance who were originally watching in the dark, wanting to take advantage of the situation to fish in troubled waters. At this moment, their expressions changed, and they fled one after another.

nJiang Ming ignored these people and continued to go deeper into the Saint Cultivation Platform. The deeper he went, the more profound the great cultivation contained in the Saint Cultivation Platform became. It allowed Jiang Ming to have a deeper understanding of all kinds of cultivation, and many of his techniques also made great progress.

n“Bro, I seem to have figured out something from that map fragment.” Suddenly, the black sword’s excited voice rang out.

n“Hmm? Tell me!” Jiang Ming’s eyes lit up and he quickly replied.

nBack at the Soul Suppressing River, he had obtained a map fragment from Li Qianya and the others. It depicted the broken scene of a group of cultivators fighting against the heavens. It was rumored that it had a lot to do with the opportunity on the Saint Cultivation Platform.

nEven the Cangming Grotto-Heaven and other top forces of the Feather Kingdom had paid a huge price to find this map fragment. However, it still fell into Jiang Ming’s hands in the end.

nThe black sword hurriedly continued, “If my deduction is correct, this should be a key, or rather, a token. It can open a secret area. There might be something extraordinary inside!”

n“A secret area?” Jiang Ming frowned slightly. “Although this mountain isn’t small, I’m afraid it has been explored by all kinds of geniuses. I haven’t heard of anyone discovering any secret areas. Could it be on the Saint Cultivation Platform? However, the Saint Cultivation Platform has been opened countless times. Despite that, there has never been any record of it.”

n“Perhaps that secret area should not have been discovered at all. At the very least, it does not exist to test and temper these geniuses,” the black sword said slowly. “I can sense a trace of spatial aura on this map fragment. However, the information contained in it seems to indicate that the secret area is also a forbidden place in the blessed land of immortal cultivation. It is not something that ordinary people can enter. However, if you take the top spot, you might be able to find some clues with the help of the cultivation runes of the Saint Cultivation Platform. The owner of this map fragment back was likely of extremely special status. It might even be higher than the Holy Son. It’s just that I don’t know what kind of unforeseen event the map fragment has experienced that caused it to end up like this.”

nJiang Ming was stunned. “The forces like Cangming Grotto-Heaven know quite a lot. They already know about the treasures contained in the map fragment before they even get it.”

nThen, he muttered to himself, “However, the blessed land of immortal cultivation fell ten thousand years ago. I don’t know how many treasures and secret manuals were lost to the outside world. It’s normal for these grotto-heavens and blessed lands of the Feather Kingdom to obtain some secrets that others don’t know.”

n“Maybe some sects are inextricably linked to the blessed land of immortal cultivation!” the black sword suddenly whispered.

n“Hmm? What?” Jiang Ming’s eyes moved. “You mean, some of these grotto-heavens and blessed lands have inherited the inheritance of the blessed land of immortal cultivation?”

n“To be fair, it’s more like they stole it.”

nAfter all, the blessed land of immortal cultivation had already fallen. Even if these grotto-heavens and blessed lands had obtained the inheritance of the former blessed land of immortal cultivation, it was understandable.

nIn the distance, a piercing fog burst out and sword aura surged. There were geniuses fighting fiercely.

n“The closer we get to the center, the more astounding geniuses we meet.”

nJiang Ming smiled. Along the way, he met many geniuses. However, they were all defeated by him.

nJiang Ming did not bother to show mercy to those who did not know better. He killed them ruthlessly.

nHowever, there were also some geniuses who did not come for the opportunity. They only came to see how strong they were. Jiang Ming did not kill them. He only defeated them and left.

n“Fellow cultivator, thank you for showing mercy!”

nA burly man was bleeding from his mouth and nose. His magical tool was cracked by Jiang Ming’s attack. His eyes were extremely shocked. However, he still cupped his hands and admitted defeat.

n“I also saw the conflict between you and the Divine Eye Cult just now. Those fellows from that sect are vengeful. Please be careful.”

nJiang Ming nodded and smiled. This person was not bad. “Are you also from the Litfire Region? Which sect are you from?”

n“I’m just an individual cultivator, living on Xiaoqian Mountain!” The tall man scratched his head and smiled awkwardly. “I came here just to try my luck. As expected, I can’t compare to a top genius like you. However, I’m also satisfied. I gained many benefits!”

nAround him, the spiritual light and cultivation runes that pervaded the Saint Cultivation Platform were actually slowly dissipating away from him, as if they had been abandoned.

n“The battle for the Saint Cultivation Platform is indeed cruel. I’ve only lost one battle. However, I can’t absorb and comprehend the cultivation runes here!” The burly man shook his head and sighed.

nJiang Ming raised his eyebrows. He did not expect this person to be from Xiaoqian Mountain.

n“Xiaoqian Mountain? I did pass by it once back then, and it seemed to be controlled by the Cloud Dream Sect behind the scenes. I wonder how things are after so many years?” Jiang Ming asked casually.

nThe burly man smiled bitterly when he heard that. “These years have been chaotic. The Fire Lotus Valley relied on the support of the Spirit Silkworm Mountain and the Cangming Grotto-Heaven to annex Xiaoqian Mountain directly. It has caused many bloody incidents. After the closure of the Black Rock Ruins, the ownership of Xiaoqian Mountain might be completely settled.”

nJiang Ming nodded. He originally wanted to go back and hide for a while after the trip to the Black Rock Ruins. However, it seemed that this plan had to be postponed.

n“Fellow cultivator, farewell!” Then, the burly man’s eyes were desolate as he bade farewell and left.

nThe battle for the Saint Cultivation Platform was extremely cruel. Losing once would cause one to lose almost all of their affinity with the great cultivation. Although it was possible to recover if they defeated other geniuses, the closer they went to the center of the Saint Cultivation Platform, the stronger the geniuses they would encounter. This cultivator from Xiaoqian Mountain obviously did not think he could continue.

n“The path of immortal cultivation is cruel.” Jiang Ming sighed and continued on his way.

nAn hour later, a figure stood quietly in front of Jiang Ming. He bowed to him and prayed before saying in a low voice, “Patron, please wait!”

n“I see that we were fated to run into each other. Patron, have you ever been to the Red Pine Snowfield?”

nJiang Ming’s expression did not change. However, his heart was moved. The Red Pine Snowfield was what the people of the world of immortal cultivation called the mortal world he had walked out of.

nCould it be that this monk had come from there as well?
