Chapter 424: Chapter 67 Return to Tianyuan (3/3)

An Jing had also noticed something off about Iron Hand.

However, his imagination wasn’t that grand to associate himself with the Ancient Immortal Ruins.

Of course, it wasn’t to say that Iron Hand’s thoughts were incorrect, because An Jing did indeed possess the Heavenly Profound True Talisman, and knew about the initial cave pathway... One could only say that Iron Hand had happened to guess correctly.

An Jing thought that the warehouse he and Huo Qing used at Chonggang Town was very useful for exploring the Ancient Immortal Ruins, and as a member of the Guiyi Army, Iron Hand was likely willing to make this clear and enter into cooperation with him.

"It’s not out of the question, but at most I’ll assist in critical moments... After all, what exactly is the Guiyi Army? I’m indeed quite curious."

With this thought in mind, An Jing first went to Broken Blade Mountain, chose some Spirit Fields to spread fertilizer, and then returned to Linjiang City.

The fertilizers, at earliest, would take effect within thirty-six hours. Just in time for An Jing’s next return from the Tianyuan Realm to check the results and then purchase the most effective kind.

Back in Linjiang City, upon An Jing’s return, he first instructed everyone to prepare the materials for Artifact Refining - the Spiritual Materials were all ready, and he was going to start preparing to refine the Dragon Storing Bottle.

During this process, An Jing also chatted with Bai Qinghan for a few sentences. The girl wasn’t talkative, but she was extremely perceptive; she quickly noticed a change in An Jing’s aura and said somewhat astonished, "You’ve...realized something new?"

"Your aura has become even more harmonious and natural..."

"I have indeed understood quite a bit."

An Jing didn’t plan to keep it a secret, he chuckled and said, "When you’ve gained Inner Strength, I’ll tell you all about these insights... Well, for now, I can share some details with you."

An Jing revealed to Bai Qinghan the Divine Abnormalities of the Four Symbols and Five Elements he had comprehended, as well as the Space Void Chrono-Light and the Physical Phenomena of the Spiritual Fiend, while also discussing the connection between the Dao of the Demon Spirit and the Martial Arts.

"When you return to Heaven’s Will Mountain, if you can find similar scriptures from the inheritance texts of the Heaven’s Will Demon Sect, you can also bring them to me to see."

When it came to Bai Qinghan, An Jing didn’t hold back and simply said, "Bring them over for me to see," and Bai Qinghan, unsurprised, agreed immediately with her eyes slightly shining.

"This...is indeed so! This is the true legacy!"

Her gaze upon An Jing was filled with the purest admiration, "As expected of Eldest Senior, to have comprehended everything on your own!"

She was well aware that even though An Jing had the Supreme Celestial True Solution, if he couldn’t fully penetrate and break down the secret meanings within it, everyone would understand different things from the same text.

This was a scripture of the Ancient Celestials’ heritage, which even if spread across the whole world, those who didn’t understand would remain in the dark. Much like some obscure tales, many people would finish reading without comprehending the author’s profound message and symbolism, only managing to skim through the superficial layer and enjoy the spectacle.

"With you saying this, I’ve also gained some insight," said the girl thoughtfully.

"The two scriptures I cultivate have five parts divine abnormality, one part Fate Pattern, named [Instant Silver Bamboo] [Mist Cloud Desert] [Morning Ghost Glow] [Clear Moon Dew] [Peiling Ze] and [Quiet Moonlight], all belonging to Mysterious You San Yin."

"Instant Silver Bamboo is the Divine Skill for transferring Essence Qi and movement, with continuous Essence Qi, like descending silver bamboo touching the ground, corresponding to one’s steps and Chrono-Light; Mist Cloud Desert is the construction of an illusionary body through meridians and Flesh and Blood, corresponding to Space Void."

"Morning Ghost Glow is for nurturing a glimmer of mysterious Xuanyin Qi in the heart, serving as the foundation for Spiritual Fiend, while Clear Moon Dew, descending from the Divine Sea, is the path for nourishing the Flesh and Blood with Soul and Spirit, and vice versa, representing the intent of Central Physical Phenomena."

"Lastly, Peiling Ze is about viewing all Xuanyin Qi as Spiritual Light rain, converging into the Divine Sea to become a nurturing marsh, which nourishes the Divine Sense and Spirit, thereby piercing through the Heavenly Mystery and preparing for the Martial Meridian... and the very first Quiet Moonlight uses the star of my Fate Pattern as the primary position, seated in the Soul and Spirit, shining like the moon, to begin this series of Cultivation."

"Indeed, they all match up."

"The divine abnormalities of ancient scriptures really are different from those commonly seen," An Jing nodded slightly, realizing that the divine abnormalities Bai Qinghan cultivated were evidently different from those he was familiar with. Not to mention anything else, the names alone represented a different style: "Is it because the heritage from the Heaven’s Will Demon Sect is older?"

"It should be." Bai Qinghan didn’t care much about this detail, "It’s said that Heaven’s Will Cult inherits from the extreme ancient times, a part of the ancient Immortal Path secret transmissions. My divine abnormalities should all stem from disassembled ancient Immortal Path Divine Skills and Great Formations."

"Because they are ancient, they did not specifically correspond with the body, only preserving the oldest imageries, striving to allow the cultivator to connect directly to the Great Dao."

Perhaps it truly is so.

An Jing could understand this point. Nowadays, Embracing the Void Martial Arts, besides the Great Dao, also placed more emphasis on Magical Combat. Divine Abnormalities corresponded to the body’s organs, limbs, and entire form. For example, the True Dragon True Martial Spine, Mysterious Yang Eye, Bright Mirror Heart, and the like, all had specific references.

Of course, if one delved deeper, the Bright Mirror ’Heart’ also implied a central command, and the ’spine’ represented its penetration through heaven and earth, essentially the basis of matter.

The most commonly seen ’Supporting Beam Hand’ and such were fundamentally ’hands,’ which are the natural tools of humans, capable of invoking the transformations of heaven’s artistry. They could be extended to mean control and management, corresponding to the ’Space Void.’ If one traced back, these ’hand’ type Divine Abnormalities should be branches of some sort of ’Complete Circuit Yuan Qi Big Capture Technique,’ an evolution meant to be widely disseminated.

But without someone to remind them, no one would be able to think of these details. Therefore, for a genius, cultivating Bai Qinghan’s type of ancient scripture was most suitable.

After listening to An Jing’s explanation, Bai Qinghan had an epiphany and thus decided to retire to his room to cultivate for a period.

Meanwhile, Xu Tai led people out to check on the land around Linjiang City and was not in town for the time being, which left An Jing, who wanted to express his Martial Arts insights and play the role of a teacher, restless.

However, it didn’t take long for An Jing to find another listener—You Ruhui from the Emperor’s Blood.

[Eh? An Jing, you have new insights?]

On the other side, You Ruhui from the Ancestral Dragon Hall was surprised that An Jing had brought another breakthrough; this was somewhat unexpected because she was still reading about the True Dragon Spine, and she suddenly felt anxious: [Oh no, sorry... I’m reading a bit slowly, I haven’t finished summarizing yet... you might have to wait another half a month or ten days...]

"Don’t rush,"

An Jing soothed her: "I’m sharing my insights with you, not because I’m expecting something in return. Just listen at ease, much like how you’ve told me many secrets and I’ve never thought ’oh I must make an immediate reciprocal exchange’—you, a court lady, just have too few friends, and simply don’t understand."

——I’m sorry that I have very few friends, there’s no need to stress that!

On the Emperor’s Blood side, You Ruhui clenched her fists, but soon released them and sighed, "Alright, I indeed have only you as a friend... Then I’ll wait a bit longer. After I’ve finished reading everything, I’ll tell you all about the inheritances related to the True Dragon Spine and the True Martial Spine."

[Received!] An Jing ended the conversation with satisfaction.

He actually quite enjoyed sharing what he knew with others. In the process, he was not only able to reorganize his thoughts but also achieved a soothing state of mind: "Pity I can’t contact Little Gu and Cang and the others right now, sigh. But they’re probably not so fast in developing their Inner Strength, feels like there’s enough time!"

"Once Huo Qing fully embarks on the Martial Arts path, I’ll also share these insights with him."

If possible, An Jing of course wanted his friends to all possess a perfect foundation—only when the people around him were strong could An Jing himself become stronger. If the people around him were a group not even capable of traversing the path of the Martial Meridian, where would An Jing find the inspiration and resources he needed?

A day in Embracing the Void Realm quickly went by, and soon after, An Jing returned to the Tianyuan Realm.

There was no one in Iron Hand’s recycling hut, but Huo Qing had left a message saying Iron Hand had errands and had gone out again, and that he had gone to watch the Nian Quan tournament today. If An Jing arrived, he could find them at the Special City.

An Jing checked the time and found that the competition was already halfway through, so he set off immediately for the Special City.

He was not slow, and by the time he arrived, he happened to see Nian Quan break out of the losers’ group, defeating the final opponent before the championship round in a swift moment.

A single sword breaking the magic, the mighty Sword Light extinguished the flame light like a tide, slashing down the student who manipulated the fierce flames.

The black-haired young swordsman was covered in wounds and panting heavily. At this moment, apart from the Wood Fiend on his arm, his whole body bore the injuries of ice and fire.

Nian Quan’s opponents, seeing they couldn’t defeat him, all unleashed their full power at the last moment, hoping to drain as much of Nian Quan’s strength as possible.

And below the stage, Yan Chengju, who had already defeated Nian Quan once and was in immaculate condition, furrowed his brows, locking eyes with the smiling Nian Quan on the stage.

The final championship round was about to unfold between the two of them.
