As An Immortal, I Only Learn Forbidden Skills

272 Artifact Expert (2)

After two years of recuperating and re-refining it, the Air-Frozen Bead had been restored to its original state. Jiang Ming’s control of it had become much better.

“Let’s go!”

The shield of wind spread out, and Jiang Ming retreated to the edge of the space on the other side. Then, he suddenly exerted his strength and sprinted forward.

As soon as Jiang Ming’s figure left the sky, terrifying black wind and lightning descended from the sky in an instant, almost splitting Jiang Ming into pieces.

Jiang Ming used inertia and rushed out hundreds of meters to leave the most terrifying area.

The inextinguishable original light was fully repairing his broken body. Jiang Ming ran forward with all his strength, and the shield of wind was finally repaired.

phew. Jiang Ming heaved a sigh of relief. As long as they left the dangerous area in the deepest part, the danger outside was nothing.

if a blessed land in such a place can be found by someone, then I’ll really accept it.

Jiang Ming shook his head and strode out of the Black Wind Demonic Abyss.

A streak of blue light shot out of the Black Wind Demonic Abyss and flew into the distance without looking back.

“Stop! Which sect are you from?”

“Kill him!” a stern cry rang out from behind. Immediately after, several figures rose into the air and chased after the blue streak of light.

However, what they got in response was a fireball the size of a boulder. It rained down on them like a meteor shower, burning a few cultivators into ashes.

Even an early-stage Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator, who had taken out his magical tool, could not block it. He was killed immediately.

When the others saw this, they hurriedly stopped in shock and fear, turning around and fleeing in panic.

“Damn it! Who is this? Doesn’t he know we’re working for the Cangming Grotto-Heaven and the Fire Lotus Valley?

“Forget it. Don’t provoke him. He’s obviously an old devil in the late stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm. He’ll kill people at the slightest disagreement!”

“We’re only in charge of those in the Qi Refinement Realm. Don’t be nosy. Hurry up and report him to the higher-ups and let those in the late stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm handle it.”

On the Spirit Sword Shuttle, Jiang Ming was sitting quietly and drinking wine unbothered.

“It seems that the bunch of people from the Cangming Grotto-Heaven have not given up yet. However, it’s true that there’s a powerhouse with amazing treasures here. Anyone would be angry.”

Anyway, Jiang Ming was not worried at all. He had dug a hole and buried the Air-Frozen Bead when he was able to withstand the black wind on the way.

After leaving the deepest part of the area, the Air-Frozen Bead was not very necessary.

“No one knows where the treasure is buried except for me. If it’s gone the next time I come, it means it’s not as powerful as I thought. If it’s still there, it means that it can still be used.”

The Spirit Sword Shuttle’s speed increased, and it streaked across the void.

A moment later, the few late-stage Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators who caught up looked at each other and could only shake their heads in disappointment and return.

He reached Xuanguang City!

It was one of the few giant cities in the Litfire Region. It was thousands of years old and was even older than the major sects. It was rumored that the mayor was also at the peak of the Golden Core Realm. It was a place where immortal cultivators gathered.

More importantly, Xuanguang City was the closest city to the Black Rock Ruins. Therefore, every sixty years, this place would welcome a grand event where geniuses and experts from all over the world would gather. They would discuss cultivation, engage in bloody battles, and occasionally, bring out shocking treasures.

“In a few months, the Black Rock Ruins will open. It might even be the last time it opens. Hence, our city has never been so lively before.”

“It’s said that the core disciples of the major sects of the Feather Kingdom have all come. There are even powerful elders following them in secret.”

“With the participation of these geniuses, I’m afraid that individual cultivators like us won’t have any chance to find treasure.”

On the second floor of a restaurant, many cultivators were talking about the event.

A young man in black was sitting by the window, eating and drinking in silence as he listened to the news.

“Hey, I heard that the grotto-heavens came to the Litfire Region and suffered a loss. During an exploration of a secret area, they were robbed by an individual cultivator from the Litfire Region. He even killed a large number of geniuses from the grotto-heavens.”

“I heard that too. Yan Chixia, right? What a monster. I heard that he’s only a Qi Refinement Realm cultivator.”

“Who knows, I might be able to shine in the ruins this time and ruthlessly step on those arrogant geniuses!”

“Alright, restrain yourself. There might be people from the major sects in this city now. Are you courting death?”

The discussion gradually died down. The young man in black raised his eyebrows, drank the last mouthful of wine, and left.

“I didn’t expect that there would still be legends of me in the world of immortal cultivation even after I’ve been away for a few years. They’ve really made me out to be a monster when I was just defending myself.”

Jiang Ming shook his head, left the pub, and strolled around the street.

As the ruins were about to open, cultivators from all over the world gathered in Xuanguang City. There were even more stalls being set up on the streets, selling all kinds of magical artifacts and cultivation techniques.

“It’s an ancient relic that has just been excavated from the ruins. Don’t miss it!”

There were even people selling the treasures they had obtained from the ruins, which attracted a lot of attention.

Although the ruins had yet to be officially opened, the restrictive array of the Black Rock Ruins had been damaged decades ago, and some holes had appeared. Thus, one could still enter a few areas by taking some risks.

Some areas had been heavily explored, and all kinds of artifacts and treasures had been found.

“Hey, look at this rust! It’s definitely an artifact that’s tens of thousands of years old! Let’s not say more. If you like it, buy it.”

The stall owner was holding a bronze cauldron in his hands and talking about it with vigor. A few customers were tempted to buy it and asked the stall owner for more details about the bronze cauldron.

“Was this cauldron really dug out near the Black Rock Ruins?”

“You said that when it was dug out, there was a thunderous sound. Is that true?”

“Let me take a look at the runes on the bronze cauldron.”.

Jiang Ming also stopped and looked at this scene with interest.

The experience from his previous life told him that this bronze cauldron was most likely not an artifact that was more than ten thousand years old. It was possible that it had just been made last week.

However, the stall owner’s knowledge of the ruins and runes was quite interesting. Jiang Ming could not help but stop and listen for a while longer.

“Hm? There seems to be something.”

Jiang Ming’s eyes suddenly narrowed. He felt a very weak fluctuation from the bronze cauldron, which seemed a bit like the bone flute he had seen in the immortal cultivator market.

“Could it be that this bronze cauldron is genuine?”

There was a trace of doubt in Jiang Ming’s heart. His logic told him that the possibility of it being true was tiny. However, what was this fluctuation?

“By the way, didn’t I bring an old artifact with me? It might be related to the Black Rock Ruins. How could I forget?”

Jiang Ming’s eyes suddenly lit up. He quietly took out one of his storage rings, undid the layers of thick seals, and communicated with the black sword inside.

“Friend, are you awake?” he asked gently.

“Damn it! Two years! You left me in there for two years! Are you even human? Aren’t you afraid that I’ll die?”

“Nothing happened to you even after being sealed underground for tens of thousands of years. It’s already a great favor that I didn’t throw you away, okay?” Jiang Ming muttered internally. However, he could not say that out loud. He quickly said, “The Black Wind Demonic Abyss was too dangerous. I experienced all kinds of life-or-death situations during my time there. I’ve been tortured for two years. I don’t know how much blood and tears I had shed before I climbed out. If I had known this would happen, I would have listened to your advice.”

“Really?” The black sword’s tone immediately lowered as it sighed. “I can’t blame you for that. After all, it was a matter of life or death. You were also trying to protect me.”

As he said that, the black sword felt a little guilty. After all, it had been hiding here in peace, while Jiang Ming was fighting to the death outside.

Jiang Ming saw that the atmosphere was good, and he quickly said, “It’s all in the past. We are family. There’s no need to be so formal. Now, I have something to ask you, and I hope you can help me with it!”

After all, there should not be anyone more professional than the black sword in the field of artifacts.
