Bai Yunfei left behind the introduction and summary of the Old Yang Scripture, carefully memorized the Lesser Yang Scripture, and hurriedly took his leave, leaving a sentence behind: “After reporting to my master in the sect, I will certainly send the complete Old Yang Scripture over.”
Tang Xiaotian, He Qianshan, and others could not resist the temptation of the two scriptures and each took out the summary of their cultivation methods to exchange and watch.
After everyone had left, Jiang Ming looked at the Ninth Princess: “Do you want it? I can give it all to you!”
He pushed the two cultivation skills towards her.
The Ninth Princess’s eyes flickered slightly, but she smiled and said, “After all, you are a Great Grandmaster, so how should I address you?”
“Great Grandmaster is just my cultivation level.” Jiang Ming laughed, “As you can see, Brother Lu doesn’t treat me differently.”
“Brother Jiang!” The Ninth Princess bowed slightly and leaned forward slightly, “Since you have reached the realm of a Great Grandmaster, there is no need for you to befriend me. Now, offering these two scriptures must mean you need something, right?”
“I need access to the Dao collections, as well as various cultivation methods from the imperial family’s collection, even ordinary ones are fine. I can offer ten more unique arts in exchange, is that acceptable?”
“Yes! But I don’t need these two scriptures.”
“You don’t need them? I was hoping you would.” Jiang Ming showed a helpless expression.
The Ninth Princess’s smile became even more brilliant: “I am not short of cultivation arts, although these two are Supreme Skills, they are not that essential for me. Brother Jiang, my condition is very simple, when I find myself in a dire situation, I ask for your help once.”
She paused for a moment, and continued seriously: “It won’t violate the chivalrous code nor Brother Jiang’s true intentions, and if it is inconvenient for Brother Jiang, you can refuse at that time. In exchange, I will deliver all three thousand Dao collections, eight hundred sect cultivation methods, the rare secret arts from the Six Gates, and the Lieyang and Xuanyin Scriptures from the imperial family’s collection.”
“What ambition!” Jiang Ming was moved but laughed, “The Lieyang and Xuanyin Scriptures are not very useful to me.”
“Brother Jiang, didn’t you say you wanted to collect the Nine Yang True Scripture and Nine Yin Divine Art?” Lu Yuan sat on the side with his wine glass, then interjected.
“I already have two of the scriptures, and after getting a few more summaries from the exchanges, I have an eighty to ninety percent confidence in deducing the Nine Yin and Nine Yang. So it’s not of much use to me, but it might save me some time.” Jiang Ming spoke honestly.
Lu Yuan smacked his lips, then fell silent again.
Were those even human words?
The Nine Yin and Nine Yang had stirred up the world of martial arts for hundreds of years, profound and mysterious, and having just one part of them could create a powerful sect. Yet, now you’re saying you can deduce them?
The key point is that you only got a few summaries, that’s all.
This is nonsense.
But it couldn’t be helped but believed.
Lu Yuan felt a bit autistic.
The Ninth Princess opened her mouth, wanting to say ‘boasting’, but recalling the previous battle and the various unique arts Jiang Ming casually used, as well as his ability to break through on the battlefield and face a Great Grandmaster.
Moreover, he had understood three realms, and most inconceivably, he had integrated the three realms into one and realized a matching sword skill. With one sword, he had slain the Great Grandmaster, Xuanming Master.
She couldn’t help but twitch her mouth.
“Admire!” The Ninth Princess struggled to spit out two words.
In the imperial family, she was hailed as a martial arts genius rarely seen in a hundred years – even the Six Gates were under her control. But compared with the person in front of her, the difference was like night and day.
The Ninth Princess had great courage, she directly wrote down the Lieyang and Xuanyin Scriptures, and had Constable Jin, who now controlled the Six Gates here, bring a large number of secret books and various Dao codes.
Jiang Ming was delighted.
The ransom money from the Xiao and Liang families was sent over, including thousand-year ginseng, silver banknotes, and books collections. He made arrangements one by one, and also asked Chang Qing to escort Xiaolan and the others.
The Heavenly Martial Army was stationed nearby, allowing Chang Qing to further train while also recovering, while the soldiers settled down and polished their skills to improve their strength.
Jiang Ming left the miscellaneous affairs to Xiaolan, either reading books or walking by the side of Wangyue Lake, enjoying the view of the water and the green willows, and having a leisurely life.
At sunset, he stopped under a weeping willow and thought: “Realms of comprehension, in this world they are also known as true intentions, and are divided into Entry Level, Minor Success, Great Success, and Perfection.”
This was the information he had learned from his conversations with the Ninth Princess.
By comparison, Lu Yuan’s foundation was still much shallower.
“Can realms of comprehension be distinguished as strong or weak, superior or inferior?”
The difference between strong and weak was obvious, just like the true meaning of rain and water. Rain is subordinate to water, and water commands rain, clearly making rain more powerful.
But what about their essence?
Jiang Ming shook his head. The martial arts foundation of this world was ultimately too inferior, and the research on this aspect was not deep enough. He still needed to wait until he returned to the Main World to further understand.
In the past few days, he had also comprehended Lesser Yin and Lesser Yang’s unique cultivation skills, even reverse-calculating the Nine Yang True Scripture and Nine Yin Divine Art to a great extent.
In fact, he didn’t care much about these two divine abilities.
What he cared about was trying to comprehend the Yin-Yang True Intent through them. Unfortunately, he had no clues.
“Let’s settle for what’s attainable first, comprehend ten different true intents, and achieve the conditions to solidify my talent. Otherwise, if I accidentally break through, there will be nowhere to cry.”
“Next, using Water and Fire as the benchmarks and the Way of the Five Elements, I wonder if I can comprehend Yin and Yang.”
“There are also Life and Death, pure Sword Intention, Blade Intention, Fist Intention, etc.”
“What about Space? Time? Infinite, and so on…”
Jiang Ming’s thoughts scattered, but he couldn’t help but laugh.
Setting goals too high can easily end in disappointment. Even the Main World might not have records about the Spatial Realm, let alone here.
He looked up and saw the Weeping Willows swaying in the wind. Plucking a leaf, he sensed a touch of vibrant vitality from within and immersed himself in it.
After a while, his body rippled with vitality, causing the surrounding flowers and plants to sway slightly.
Jiang Ming’s own life force also grew stronger.
Wood’s True Intent.
Comprehension successful!
“It’s too simple; really too simple.”
He couldn’t help but sigh.
The Ninth Princess walking nearby heard his voice and sensed the pervasive vitality force. She smiled and hurried over: “Brother Jiang, have you comprehended another realm?”
“Wood’s True Intent!” Jiang Ming nodded. “Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water – the Way of the Five Elements, mutual promotion and restraint, I have already comprehended Wood and Water, next I will try to comprehend the other three.”
“You…” The Ninth Princess opened her mouth, wanting to curse him as abnormal.
His casual tone, however, left her utterly defeated.
“Brother Jiang, I’m going to return to the Capital City today. The Three Thousand Dao Collection and many other cultivation skills will be sent here one after the other. Constable Jin will still stay here, overseeing the Six Gates’ branch. You can find her directly if you need anything.” The Ninth Princess was free and easy, taking her leave after speaking.
She didn’t want to stay here anymore; her heart couldn’t take it.
Jiang Ming’s life was bland yet abundant.
Two months later, he let Chang Qing lead the Heavenly Martial Army into the mountains for more hunting, then detouring to the north where Beimang connected with them, hunting mountain bandits and barbarians for cultivation.
The enemies were too weak. With his Great Grandmaster Realm cultivation and the help of a thousand-year Ginseng, he forcibly raised their cultivation level to the Innate Realm and even tempered their bodies once.
“With numerous unique skills, a more refined Seven Kills Sword Skill, and the Art of War Array Combat, this journey will bring them into open waters. I hope they can give me some surprises in the future!”
Jiang Ming gazed at the distant mountains, his thoughts surging.
This was also a leisurely move.
He focused his eyes, the system screen appeared before him, and he looked at the changes in information, quite satisfied.
