130 The Path of Immortal Cultivation (2)
Combined with the information that Jiang Ming had obtained over the years, there was no need to guess the truth of the matter. It must have been Marquis Zhou Pingshi who had spread the news of the immortal encounter and attracted the aristocratic families to work together to break in and help him take the heart of the immortal cultivator.
“It seems that even the immortal cultivators who supported the Liang family in the past did not discover the immortal fate here. Marquis Zhou is a Grandmaster of the secular world, so why does he know so much about this immortal encounter.” Jiang Ming was deep in thought. However, he could only shake his head helplessly.
Marquis Zhou probably had many secrets, but now that he had already left this world, there was no need to investigate further.
Jiang Ming flipped to the last page, recording the Liang family’s research on the immortal encounter in the past few decades.
“The corpse of an immortal was found. It was extremely tough. However, it carried a rotten and broken aura. Its blood seems to contain spiritual energy, but when it enters the body of a Dao Master, the Dao Master will die on the spot.”
Jiang Ming suddenly felt extremely disgusted. Fortunately, he did not put the torso into the cart at all. Even if that thing was useful for his immortal cultivation, he still felt disgusted.
Jiang Ming immediately skipped through several sections until he finally found the immortal cultivation technique—the Five Elemental Arts.
The Five Elemental Arts was suitable for martial artists of any physique to cultivate. However, several people from the Liang family had tried and used up all their spirit stones, but none of them had succeeded.
Jiang Ming’s eyes suddenly narrowed. It seemed that immortal cultivation was not simple.
He slowly put down the book and took out another ancient book from a bag. He did not know what it was made of, but it was extremely tough.
It was the Five Elemental Arts tome.
Jiang Ming opened it and read it carefully. A path of immortal cultivation that he had been searching for decades finally unfolded in front of him.
“Immortal cultivation has two realms—the Qi Refinement Realm and the Foundation Establishment Realm.”
Jiang Ming raised his eyebrows. The Five Elemental Arts could only be cultivated to the ninth level of the Qi Refinement Realm. There was not even a cultivation method to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.
He could not help but wonder how terrifying the power of immortal cultivators was. That ancient immortal cultivator was only at the Qi Refinement Realm, but he could live for a thousand years!
Jiang Ming shook his head and stopped thinking about it. He continued to read.
According to the records of the tome, the quality of a mortal’s body was different. Even if one had the cultivation technique to become an immortal, they would not be able to successfully cultivate it.
Although the Five Elemental Arts was a weak technique, it was suitable for everyone to cultivate. However, its weakness was that the cultivation speed was extremely slow, and it consumed a lot of resources.
Jiang Ming memorized all the contents of the tome before he closed his eyes and began to comprehend it carefully.

A few days later, the ox-cart stopped at a tea stall at the intersection of an important traffic road.
Merchants and martial artists who pa.s.sed by from all directions would stop here for a short rest.
“I never thought that the six great families would be completely annihilated just like that!”
“Anonymous is terrifying. I heard that he only used one punch to kill the head of the Liang family. Even the head of the Xu family had his neck broken. Surely he’s the strongest Grandmaster in the world.”
“Grandmaster families have been rooted in the world for hundreds of years. I thought the Liang family and the Xu family could hold on for a little longer.”
“Hey, do you think that Anonymous is just a brute? From what I know, before Anonymous attacked the old capital, Anonymous had already started to investigate and a.s.sa.s.sinate all the forces of the Liang and Xu families!”
Someone immediately continued, “After Anonymous killed the Grandmasters of the Liang and Xu families, and ma.s.sacred half of the Liang family, the Nameless cleared out all of the Liang family’s p.a.w.ns, uprooting all of the Liang family’s forces. He eliminated them completely.”
“Most of the Grandmasters in the Qingxuan Army are dead and only one or two are left. The Flying Cloud Castle is already pressing down on the border. Things are finally going to calm down!”
“Who would have thought that the Nameless, who came out of nowhere, could have such a great influence on the world?”
Jiang Ming sat in the corner, quietly drinking tea. He was feeling emotional.
He had achieved so much.
“Everything is done. Next, I just have to focus on my cultivation.”
He needed to cultivate the Five Elemental Arts and the Thunderclap Technique that he had obtained from Master Kongjian.
Before he could get stronger, Jiang Ming did not intend to leave the mountain for the time being.
As for the information on the various immortal cultivators that Miss w.a.n.g had gathered, he would just leave it for now.
At that time, no matter what kind of immortal cultivator they were, under the laws of this world, they would not be able to escape from his palm.
He hopped on the ox-cart and continued his journey once again after he had eaten his fill. He headed in the direction of Great Cloud City at a leisurely pace.
Although there were many amazing places in the world, Jiang Ming still preferred to stay in the Cloudy Dream Mountain Forest, which he was used to. Moreover, after this quiet cultivation, Jiang Ming also planned to explore the place where the immortal encounter occurred.
He was now strong enough to explore that area.
As the ox-cart swayed back and forth, Jiang Ming continued to practice in silence. He used the trace of spiritual energy refined by the Blood Spirit Technique and tried to condense it in his lower abdomen with the Five Elemental Arts to open up his own spiritual core.
Although he had long used spiritual energy to refine his body, immortal cultivation was a completely different process. Only by absorbing spiritual energy into his spiritual core and transforming it into his own spiritual energy could he perform all kinds of mysterious immortal cultivation methods.
If one could not open up the spiritual core, everything would be useless.
Jiang Ming had been trying for several days, but he had failed.
“It seems that my apt.i.tude for immortal cultivation is worse than my apt.i.tude for martial arts.” Jiang Ming was not surprised at all. This definitely was not because of him. It was probably because of the restrictions caused by the laws of this world.
“What?” He suddenly raised his head and looked at the coachman in front of him.
“What’s wrong with you?”
In his eyes, the coachman’s aura had suddenly weakened for a moment. It was thanks to his heightened perception that he was able to catch it. If it were any other Grandmaster, they would probably only sense that the person in front of them had disappeared.
The coachman turned his head and smiled in embarra.s.sment.
“Master, I think I’m about to break through to Grandmaster!”
Jiang Ming was stunned.
Although Wu Hen was the most talented beggar he had ever taken in, he had only cultivated for less than three decades. This was ridiculous.
Wu Hen said slowly, “At that moment, I seemed to have seen my own path to becoming a Grandmaster. Over the past few days, when I recall the scene from that night, my comprehension gets deeper than ever!”
Jiang Ming opened his mouth, but he did not know what to say. Maybe Wu Hen was a genius.
“I’ve even sensed it with my heightened perception, but I haven’t realized anything yet. However, it’s good to have a Grandmaster among the Nameless.”
Jiang Ming suddenly thought of something. Looking at Wu Hen in front of him, he began to get a few new ideas.
