As An Immortal, I Only Learn Forbidden Skills

193 A Chaotic Situation (2)

“I see!” Jiang Ming rolled his eyes. Huang Chu was a mid-stage Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator. However, he ran faster than anyone else.

It seemed that he had worried too much. The people in the Plant Hall were all very experienced. Thus, they would be fine.

“However, the Divine Eye Sect has actually gotten involved in the Litfire Region’s matters. They’ve extended their hands quite far!” Jiang Ming said with emotion.

He had also heard of this cultivation sect. It was extremely far away from this place, and the chaos had only started a little while ago. How could they have heard the news so fast?

Zhong Gui said with a smile, “The Litfire Region has gathered many forces from outside the region over the years. Can you guess why?”

Jiang Ming was stunned for a moment, then he suddenly thought of something and asked, “Does it have anything to do with the opening of the Black Rock Ruins?”

It seemed that this was the only major event that had happened in the Litfire Region in recent years. Even the chaos in Xiaoqian Mountain was caused by the Black Rock Ruins. If the Golden Core Realm cultivator of Xiaoqian Mountains had not gone to the Black Rock Ruins, he would not have been seriously injured.

Zhong Gui nodded. “When the news that there were remnants of the voice of an ancient cultivator preaching in the Black Rock Ruins spread, it seemed to have caused some commotion outside the Litfire Region. Some people claimed that the origins of the Black Rock Ruins were terrifying. It seemed to be related to the sudden destruction of a super sect thousands of years ago.

“There are less than forty years until the next opening of the ancient ruins, and now there’s a hole in the formation. Those with low cultivation can’t enter the ruins. However, late-stage Foundation Establishment Realm and Golden Core Realm cultivators can withstand the power of the formation to enter and explore the ruins. I’ve heard that many forces have already begun to plan and explore in advance. The Divine Eye Sect should have been hiding in the Litfire Region for a long time.

“Xiaoqian Mountain probably got attacked due to its proximity to the Black Rock Ruins. Perhaps it’s not just the Divine Eye Sect. Other forces might also go to Xiaoqian Mountain to fish in troubled waters when they have nothing to do. Xiaoqian Mountain is in chaos now, and the people there are the ones who are in a really bad state.” Zhong Gui sighed again.

Jiang Ming was also slightly surprised. What were the origins of the Black Rock Ruins that could cause such a big commotion?

On the way home, Jiang Ming’s heart suddenly jumped.

“I also seem to have something on me that is suspected to be related to the Black Rock Ruins.”

When he was drinking at Fuhai Restaurant, he heard the news that a genius female cultivator from the Fire Lotus Valley had gone missing and lost a magical weapon related to the Black Rock Ruins.

Naturally, she was the one that Jiang Ming killed.

“According to this information, that magical weapon should be the Thunderous Bow!” Jiang Ming thought to himself, “Apart from the Thunderous Bow, that female cultivator doesn’t have any special items on her. However, I’ve been practicing with it for so many days and haven’t found anything strange. Do I have to bring it into the Black Rock Ruins? ”

He was really interested in the Black Rock Ruins. There were rumors before that the Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators who went to the Black Rock Ruins to find treasures not only had a higher success rate, but their strength was also far superior to ordinary Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators of the same level!

And he was about to face the problem of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm. Every step on the path of immortal cultivation was important. The quality of his foundation was naturally of great importance to his future path.

“However, ordinary people can’t participate in such a treasure hunt!”

Jiang Ming’s eyes flickered slightly, and he suppressed the greed in his heart. If the ruins opened and only Qi Refinement Realm cultivators were allowed to enter, it was not impossible to go in and explore. However, looking at the signs, when the ruins opened, even Golden Core Realm cultivators would probably rush in and kill each other.

“I have to continue to wait and see. If there’s really a chance, I’ll go ahead.”

Then, he stopped thinking about the matter and went home to continue his cultivation.

Regardless of whether he was going to explore or not, the most important thing was to raise his cultivation level first! There were still more than thirty years before the ancient ruins opened, which should be enough for him to reach the ninth level of the Qi Refinement Realm.

Another month had passed.

“The Golden Core Realm cultivators finally couldn’t help but make a move. The two Golden Core Realm experts from the Fire Lotus Valley and the Qingyin Pavillion are here. They’ve used shocking methods to break through the main peak of Xiaoqian Mountain.”

It was very lively in Fuhai Restaurant. An old man in green robes with an extraordinary bearing sat by the window and spoke slowly, which immediately caused a commotion in the area.

“Oh no, is the government in Xiaoqian Mountain going to change in the future?”

“F*ck the Fire Lotus Valley!”

Many of the individual cultivators who had fled here were paying attention to the situation at Xiaoqian Mountain.

Many people, including Zhong Gui, had ugly expressions. The Fire Lotus Valley did not have a good reputation. If Xiaoqian Mountain really fell into their hands, even if the Fire Lotus Valley did not commit any war crimes, the lives of the residents would not be good.

Jiang Ming was also not very happy. According to how the Fire Lotus Valley ran things, it would not be possible for the Plant Hall to slack off in the future. If things really ended like this, he would not go back. He would find another place to live.

“When I reach the Golden Core Realm or even the Nascent Soul Realm in the future, I’ll crush the Fire Lotus Valley to death with one hit. Then, I’ll buy Xiaoqian Mountain and continue to have fun in the Plant Hall,” Jiang Ming thought.

However, just as he was thinking about it, a golden message talisman flew in from the window.

The green-robed old man reached out to take the talisman and read the information inside. Suddenly, he let out a soft gasp.

“Master Zhu, what’s the situation?”

The individual cultivators were anxious.

This place was thousands of miles away from Xiaoqian Mountain, and ordinary message talismans could not fly that far. Only this Master Zhu, who was at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm, could afford such a valuable high-grade message talisman.

“Good news! I, Zhu Rufeng, can return to Xiaoqian Mountain to be free and unfettered!”

The green-robed old man’s face revealed a look of great joy. Seeing the fiery gazes around him, he chuckled and said, “Fire Lotus Valley and Qingyin Pavillion have been screwed!”

“What? Is that true?”

Zhu Rufeng no longer kept them in suspense. He stroked his beard and smiled. “The Golden Core Realm elder of Xiaoqian Mountain has been hiding in the depths of the main peak all this time. When the two forces broke through the main peak and were about to enter the depths to take the mountain’s most precious treasure, the Golden Core Realm elder of Xiaoqian Mountain suddenly moved and stopped the other two forces’ Golden Core Realm elders of the same level. Then, the Li Sword Sect’s elder suddenly appeared and attacked from behind. He almost cut the Fire Lotus Valley’s Golden Core Realm elder in half.

“The final result was that the Li Sword Sect’s elder and Xiaoqian Mountain’s elder defeated them and forced the Fire Lotus Valley’s and the Qingyin Pavillion’s elders to retreat. A large number of their disciples were also killed. This time, these two forces probably suffered a huge loss. From now on, Xiaoqian Mountain will be no different from before. All the rules will remain the same. If you want to go back and find a good place to live, you have to hurry.”

Zhu Rufeng laughed out loud. He suddenly stood up with his hands behind his back. “Cultivators like us don’t hesitate to fight. I’ll rush back to Xiaoqian Mountain. If there are any enemies left, I’ll definitely kill them!”

Before he finished speaking, he took out a flying sword and flew away.

The individual cultivators in the restaurant were left in a daze. They had not even digested the news yet. Why did he leave so fast?

“Master Zhu, you’re so elegant. You really come and go like the wind,” a moment later, someone commented.

Jiang Ming also shook his head speechlessly. Now that Xiaoqian Mountain was finally out of trouble, if he rushed back, he might really be able to take advantage of the chaos to gain some benefits. If he made some noteworthy contributions, he might even be rewarded by the higher-ups of Xiaoqian Mountain.

This was probably Zhu Rufeng’s train of thought as well.

“However, he’s a Foundation Establishment Realm expert. I’d better be more careful!”

Jiang Ming shook his head. The overall situation of Xiaoqian Mountain had been settled. However, there would still be a lot of chaos. He was a simple farmer. It was better to go back in a few days.

He turned his head and saw Zhong Gui drinking his wine leisurely. The two of them toasted each other and smiled.
