160 Meeting Immortal Cultivators on the Road (1)
Ten years later, the founding emperor of the Cloud Empire, a leading Grandmaster of his generation, Zhang Yuanhe, passed away.
In the south of the Cloud Empire, three vassal lords had risen up, and the Cloud Empire seemed to be in a precarious situation again.
In a small bar in Peace County, some old farmers and herb gatherers in tattered clothes were discussing current events in low voices.
"I’ve heard that there was a bloody incident in the palace. Someone had broken in. The emperor might not have died of old age.”
"Even a Grandmaster can’t avoid being murdered
In the corner of the bar, an inconspicuous man was drinking wine silently.
Jiang Ming had no intention of finding out how Zhang Yuanhe died. He was not familiar with the man. However, still felt a little emotional when he heard about it.
It had been ten years since the incident with the King of Medicine.
Even the Grandmaster who had rebuilt this country had died. There was no one in Jiang Ming’s generation who was still alive.
Jiang Ming shook his head and smiled. He finished the wine in his glass, got up, and left the bar. He walked past Peace County, which was now full of strange faces, and returned to the Cloudy Dream Mountain Forest.
On a steep peak, Jiang Ming sat down and looked at the clouds in front of him.
"Master!”
A gray-clad figure appeared behind Jiang Ming silently and bowed.
"You’ve stepped into the third level of the Qi Refinement Realm.” Jiang Ming turned his head and glanced at the travel-worn middle-aged man behind him. He smiled faintly.
In the past ten years, Jiang Ming’s comprehension of the Spirit Restriction Seal had become deeper and deeper. He had already comprehended the two basic seals. His spiritual energy was also extremely sharp, and he could easily see what stage of cultivation others were at.
Of course, this was only for cultivators in the Qi Refinement Realm. If a cultivator was in the Foundation Establishment Realm, Jiang Ming would probably not be able to tell.
Wu Hen bowed. There was no shock on his face at being seen through.
He was different from Miss Wang. In Wu Hen’s heart, Anonymous would always be unparalleled in power. Even though he had already embarked on the path of cultivation, he had never changed his mind.
"Tell me what you’ve seen and heard in the world of immortal cultivation!”
After the uproar around the King of Medicine had subsided, Jiang Ming had stayed in the dry well where Dr. Sun had hidden. He had cultivated with the help of the remaining spiritual energy there.
He sent Wu Hen out to explore the Red Pine Snowfield and the world of immortal cultivation. They agreed to meet here ten years later if nothing unexpected happened.
Although he planned to go to the world of immortal cultivation, he had to make sure everything was in place.
As both an assassin and a Grandmaster, Wu Hen was the stealthiest individual in the world. Thus, Jiang Ming sent him instead of going himself.
Wu Hen replied respectfully, “I followed the map you gave me and arrived at the world of immortal cultivation without any trouble. However, the depths of the Red Pine Snowfield are extremely cold. I’m afraid that those below the Grandmaster level can’t pass through. In addition, I also encountered some fierce beasts. The strongest one was as strong as a Grandmaster. However, I carefully avoided them.”
Jiang Ming nodded slightly. From the information recorded in the Jade Slip and what Zhao Hong told him, Jiang Ming mapped out least five or six paths in the Red Pine Snowfield. He told Wu Hen of a few.
This situation was exactly as Zhao Hong had described. Although there was a path to the world of immortal cultivation, ordinary people could not walk through it.
"Outside the Red Pine Snowfield is a cultivation dynasty called the Feather Kingdom. Its territory is extremely vast. According to the information I gathered, the Feather Kingdom has three grotto-heavens, six blessed lands, and many other cultivation sects. I joined a cultivation sect called the Cloud Dream Sect, which is one of the six blessed lands!”
"It seems that you are quite talented,” Jiang Ming said in surprise.
"In order to obtain more information about the world of immortal cultivation, I participated in the Cloud Dream Sect’s entrance exam. I didn’t pass because I was too old. However, an elder of the Cloud Dream Sect thought that I could become a Grandmaster and said that I had an aptitude for the path of concealment. Therefore, he made an exception and accepted me into the sect,” Wu Hen replied honestly.
"What about the Fire Lotus Valley?” Jiang Ming nodded and continued to ask.
"The Fire Lotus Valley is one of the most powerful sects within a few thousand miles of the Red Pine Snowfield. Although it can’t be compared to the six blessed lands, it still has an early-stage core formation cultivator. It is over a thousand years old and is one of the oldest forces in the Feather Kingdom. You must be careful when you arrive in the world of immortal cultivation, Master.”
"Nearby, there are also core formation forces like the Qingyin Pavilion, the Li Sword Sect, and the Xiaoqian Mountain. When I first arrived in the world of immortal cultivation, I stopped at the Xiaoqian Mountain for a while.”
Jiang Ming gradually gained a preliminary understanding of the mysterious and vast world of immortal cultivation.
It was not until the sun set that Wu Hen finished talking about what he had seen and heard over the years. He stood respectfully behind Jiang Ming. fee.
"Wu Hen, how many years have you been with me?” Jiang Ming suddenly asked with a laugh.
"It has been more than a hundred years since you took me under your wing, Master,” Wu Hen replied.
"All good things must come to an end,” Jiang Ming said calmly. “You have stepped into the world of immortal cultivation. From now on, you have to walk your own path.”
