Chapter 3787: Background of the Jin Clan
There was a wall in front of Ling Han, and there was nothing else.
He stretched out a hand, and began knocking on the brick.
Tong, tong, tong, the sound was m.u.f.fled.
Ling Han switched to another brick, and knocked again. It was still the same, and he moved again.
After switching to a dozen over bricks, the sound suddenly changed, becoming very crisp and clear.
He revealed a smile. This was hollow.
“Tang Yan, Lady Jin,” he called out.
Tang Yan walked over, a dazed expression on his face. However, Jin Yexue wore a smile of admiration as she said, “Sure enough, I wasn’t able to fool you.”
Ling Han merely smiled faintly.
“Yi, what kind of secret signal are you guys playing? Why don’t I understand?” Tang Yan’s expression was filled with confusion.
“If you don’t understand, that’s right.” Ling Han pointed at that brick, “Come, smash it open.”
Yet Jin Yexue shook her head, “Don’t worry. There is no danger here.”
She walked forwards, and delivered a palm strike. Pa, the brick immediately shattered. She stretched out her hand again, and when she took it out, there was an iron box in her hand. “Yi!” Tang Yan’s eyes instantly widened.
Jin Yexue opened the box. There were three items inside.
There were two thin books and a piece of animal hide.
When Ling Han’s eyes swept over this animal hide, his heart involuntarily beat wildly.
He had seen this thing once.
“Can I take a look first?” He pointed at the animal hide.
“As you wish,” Jin Yexue said with a nod. “We’ve already discussed this before. Everyone will have a share of the cultivation techniques that we obtain.”
Ling Han retrieved that piece of beast hide and unfurled it. Meanwhile, Jin Yexue and Tang Yan also retrieved a book each.
“Hiss, the Great Overarching Heaven Technique!” Tang Yan’s voice was trembling slightly. He suddenly stood up, pointed at Jin Yexue and said, “You, you are a descendant of the Jin Clan of the Eternal Prosperity Majestic Empire!”
“That’s right!” Jin Yexue nodded proudly, exuding an indescribable air of n.o.bility.
Meanwhile, Ling Han’s heart trembled madly. That was because he had not guessed wrongly. What was recorded on this beast hide was the Spirit Diagram of Destruction Energy!
He had only grasped a portion of it, and this was another portion. Whether the two together could complete the Spirit Diagram, Ling Han did not know either, because he had yet to begin cultivating.
He suppressed the excitement in his heart, and asked, “What Eternal Prosperity Majestic Empire?”
“Let me explain,” Jin Yexue said as she pressed a hand down on Tang Yan. Her domineering aura caused Tang Yan to involuntarily shut up.
“Before the Azure Dragon Majestic Empire, the Eternal Prosperity Majestic Empire ruled over the Moonlight Planet and its thirty-six subordinate planets,” she said proudly, a flash of nostalgic glory appearing on her pretty face. “However, around sixty thousand years ago, the Eternal Prosperity Majestic Empire’s Emperor, Jin Yue, failed to break through to Saint Tier and died. The Meng Clan, which should have been loyal and devoted, suddenly betrayed and ma.s.sacred the Jin Clan.”
“Fortunately, the Jin Clan’s Emperor had left a bloodline treasure in the outside world just in case. No one knew about it, and it was because of this that they managed to escape.”
“However, in order to prevent the Meng Clan from finding the ancestral grounds of our Jin Clan, the ancestors would rather oppose them and hide the ancestral grounds. It was also because of this that the Jin Clan’s branch family was also unable to find the ancestral grounds. Generation after generation, they hid their hatred for the Meng Clan while searching for the whereabouts of the ancestral grounds.”
Ling Han was astonished. He hadn’t imagined that Jin Yexue would have such a powerful background.
Meanwhile, Jin Yexue looked at Tang Yan, “Young Marquis, do you still dare to accept the precious technique here?”
“You know who I am?” Tang Yan was slightly surprised.
“Who hasn’t heard of the dignified Little Marquis?” Jin Xuexue asked calmly.
Tang Yan couldn’t help but frown.
The moment the Meng Clan rose to power, they immediately began to clear their name. Tens of thousands of years had pa.s.sed, and ordinary people knew that the Moonlight Planet only had one Imperial Family, and that was the Meng Clan. However, in some powerful forces, the truth of the past still circulated. In fact, there was even a portion of forces that were loyal to the surviving dregs of the Jin Clan, and were just waiting for the day when the descendant of the Jin Clan would appear, and with a wave of his arm and a shout, destroy the Meng Clan.
If he obtained the inheritance of the Jin Clan’s cultivation technique, that would be equivalent to standing on the opposite side of the Meng Clan, unless he handed over the things here at the first instant.
And that included Jin Yexue.
This caused him to feel conflicted. Jin Yexue was the first woman that had moved his heart, and the ancestor of the Jin Clan was actually qualified to attempt breaking through to Saint Tier, which showed how awesome the inheritance of the Jin Clan Clan was.
The Meng Clan had not stopped their search for the Jin Clan. Firstly, they wanted to kill all of them, and secondly, they wanted to obtain the Jin Clan’s precious technique.
Would Tang Yan be willing to surrender his chance to become a Saint?
Moreover, even if he handed it over, would the Meng Clan believe that he didn’t have a reserve copy?
Even if it was just to be safe, they would still kill him.
Tang Yan only had one choice, and that was to remain silent, and never reveal the slightest bit of today’s secret. Furthermore, with such wariness, would he still be loyal to the Meng Clan? “What a huge mine!” Tang Yan sighed. If Jin Yexue had long since informed him that this was the ancestral grounds of the Majestic Empire, he could have immediately returned to make his report, and not set foot a single step here, but now? He could only go all the way to the end. Jin Yexue smiled faintly, “To be able to cultivate the Jin Clan’s precious technique, you are still so picky?”
“True.” Tang Yan smiled bitterly. This was at least a Venerate Tier-level Technique, and in future, he would still have the chance to glimpse Saint Tier.
Ling Han had already finished reading the contents of the beast hide. He naturally didn’t have the time to cultivate it. He only memorized the extremely complicated seals that were continuously changing after fusing into his mind, and then placed it back into the box.
“Memorize the contents of the precious technique first,” Jin Yexue said. “I’ll take the original. You guys don’t mind, right?”
“I don’t mind,” Ling Han and Tang Yan both said. This was a secret technique that had been pa.s.sed down from her ancestors. Being able to let them study it was already extremely
generous.
After Tang Yan and Jin Yexue finished reading the book in their hands, the three of them exchanged notes, and continued to read.
The technique in Ling Han’s hands was the Great Overarching Heaven Technique. This was a secret technique, and after channeling it out, its might was boundless.
At that time, the Jin Clan had used the Turbid Heaven Scroll and the Great Overarching Heaven Technique to sweep aside all opposition, achieving imperial dominance. This was the Jin
Clan’s true wealth.
“Yi, what is this thing? Why can’t I understand it at all?” Jin Yexue held the animal hide, her expression completely blank.
Was it because her brain wasn’t working well? Why did the seals on the beast hide look like
ghost drawings?
“Let me see.” Tang Yan leaned over, and instantly, his expression was also dumbfounded.
‘What is this? Is this some kind of incomprehensible drawing?’
“Can you understand it, Ling Han?” he asked Ling Han.
“Yes, this is a Spirit Diagram.” Ling Han didn’t hide anything. In any case, it was one matter
whether he knew about the Spirit Diagram or not, but whether he could learn it was another matter. He had only mastered it because of the millions of dimensions in his body, which was
very strange.
“Really?” Tang Yan looked at the animal hide again, but he still couldn’t tell anything.
This was definitely a ghost drawing, so how could it possibly be a Spirit Diagram? However, if it wasn’t a high-level Spirit Diagram, why would Jin Clan’s ancestor have stored it
in a box, along with two great rare techniques?
Tears welled up in his eyes. The precious treasures were right in front of him, yet he could only stare at them helplessly. This was the greatest sorrow in the world.
