Chapter 47: The Advantage Is Mine, Everything Is Within My Grasp!
Xuanqing Sect.
Yan Changkong, with a heart full of excitement, arrived at the Siyuan Hall of the sect.
This wasn’t a secret lair or anything—but rather the place where the Xuanqing Sect stored the relics of its ancestors and honored its founding master. During major festivals, disciples were allowed to visit and pay their respects.
“Ah—”
In this moment, Yan Changkong’s emotions were swirling, and his bl**d was boiling!
But he knew that at such a crucial time, he had to remain calm and collected!
What treasures did the ancestor Lin Feng leave behind?
It goes without saying that it must be something significant; otherwise, Ye Xi wouldn’t have made the trip himself.
However, Yan Changkong didn’t rush to uncover it.
First, according to custom, he personally tidied up the Siyuan Hall inside and out, offered tributes to the founding ancestor, and lit incense.
Then, he respectfully knelt and bowed.
Once Yan Changkong completed all these rituals, he finally followed Ye Xi’s instructions and discovered a hidden compartment.
“What’s this?”
Yan Changkong took out a box from the hidden compartment, his hands shaking a bit.
Click—
He opened it to find a jade slip sitting quietly inside—crystal-clear and shimmering.
Yan Changkong picked it up and examined it for a moment, gasping, “Jade Slip Dao Book!”
This was an ancient method of recording, nearly lost to time. It was used by ancient powerhouses to document profound martial arts and insights.
Although he had long anticipated that Lin Feng’s legacy would be extraordinary, the jade slip was something else entirely—it was priceless!
But once he thought about Lin Feng’s status and strength, he relaxed.
After all, this was the man acknowledged as the strongest in history, the Emperor who had never tasted defeat!
It wouldn’t be surprising for someone like him to possess or even refine a Jade Slip Dao Book!
Taking a deep breath, Yan Changkong held the Jade Slip Dao Book, and a strand of his consciousness radiated and permeated into it.
In the next moment, he felt as if he had entered a mysterious realm.
He was enveloped in a profoundly arcane state, and in his mind, a complex, esoteric scripture appeared.
But then, it seemed he began to comprehend it.
It turned out Lin Feng not only left behind martial arts but also infused some of his own training insights into the Jade Slip!
This was essentially a legacy!
The Eternal Emperor’s legacy—this was a tremendous opportunity! If word got out, it would certainly cause a stir.
It might even lead to a bloody storm…
Time passed slowly.
In this mysterious state, Yan Changkong didn’t know how long he had been lost in this experience.
When he finally opened his eyes again, he found it was deep into the night.
Outside the window, a bright moon hung in the sky like a jade plate, casting cool, luminous rays.
A gentle night breeze drifted in.
It was as if Yan Changkong had finally fully awakened, his face lighting up with excitement as he exclaimed, “Xuanqing Inquiry of the Immortals Script!”
“Cultivating to great success, it directly points to the Tribulation Period!”
He paused before adding, “Maybe even achieving immortality through inquiry isn’t impossible!”
This was a technique Lin Feng created based on the Xuanqing True Formula. It was infinitely superior to the sect’s original techniques.
Originally, the Xuanqing Sect’s Xuanqing True Formula wasn’t bad, but even at its peak, it could only reach the Integration Stage!
It didn’t even touch the thresholds of the Great Ascension Period!
The gap between many ordinary sects and top-tier forces often boiled down to their martial arts.
After all, this directly determines a cultivator’s upper limit!
Now, everything was different.
Moreover, the Jade Slip Dao Book recorded not only the Xuanqing Inquiry of the Immortals Script but also some supernatural techniques.
As well as cultivation formulas suitable for ordinary disciples to polish their fundamentals.
Most of it filled in the gaps of the original Xuanqing Sect methods, forming a brand-new technique.
With its increased power, it wouldn’t draw too much attention since its origin was concealed—only through one’s own cultivation could the improvement be truly felt.
Calming himself, Yan Changkong walked to the window, sighing deeply, “Ancestor Lin Feng truly put in a lot of thought!”
“He calculated all the details, even knowing how the world would react!”
At this moment, Yan Changkong was utterly in awe of Lin Feng!
Warm Reminder: If you think this book is good and want to avoid losing track of it, don’t forget to add it to your bookshelf!
If Lin Feng had presented these techniques to the Xuanqing Sect from the get-go, they likely wouldn’t have made it!
Back then, all eyes were on the Xuanqing Sect.
Now, the cultivation world had undergone wild changes; all major forces had accepted the rise of the Xuanqing Sect.
And slowly, their attention had shifted elsewhere!
At this moment, the pressure on the Xuanqing Sect to cultivate everything again was much lighter.
Moreover, after several displays of strength and with Ye Xi and company on the public stage, who would dare to provoke the Xuanqing Sect?
They’d truly need to think twice about it!
Could they withstand the wrath of Nicholas the Great?
As this thought crossed Yan Changkong’s mind, he felt enlightened and exited the great hall, heading to the sect’s discussion hall.
Without caring that it was deep in the night, he directly shook the disciple on night watch awake, saying, “Hurry up!”
“Request the Supreme Elder to come out of seclusion and then ask the Grand Elder to our meeting!”
Yan Changkong now truly understood how significant the Xuanqing Sect was in Lin Feng’s heart!
Before he returned, it had to be defended well!
The techniques he left behind were for the sect, not for one person to monopolize!
Yan Changkong murmured to himself, “The Supreme Elder is already on the brink of a breakthrough; now with the Xuanqing Inquiry of the Immortals Script…”
“Breaking through to the Illusory Refinement Stage is just a matter of time!”
He paused, thinking of the other Grand Elders. If they could cultivate the Inquiry of the Immortals Script alongside the massive resources currently being poured into the sect,
in just a few decades, the overall strength of the Xuanqing Sect would experience a tremendous leap.
Even if they still didn’t match some super sects, they would gradually close the gap.
After a moment, the Grand Elder Chen Xiu entered the great hall first, clearly having stayed up all night.
He had been waiting for this moment!
After all, he was in the know. When Ye Xi informed Yan Changkong, he was also present.
Soon after, the Supreme Elder flew in on the wind.
In the discussion hall, the three talked until dawn before finally dispersing.
When they left, each one was refreshed, radiating youthful energy.
————
Ancient Clan, Jiang Family.
The Jiang Family, located in Central State, was an ancient cultivation clan with a long lineage, possessing vast territories, spiritual meridians, and cave heavens.
They were a colossal figure in the cultivation world, unmatched by rapidly rising families like the An Family.
In a hidden cave in the Jiang Family’s territory, the atmosphere was rather tense and somber.
A sense of grim seriousness hung in the air.
“It can be confirmed!”
“Jiang Yanlong, Zuo Qingtian, and Zhuang Hongyi have been killed, their souls extinguished!”
A shadow cloaked in black robes spoke in a hoarse voice, “In today’s world, the only one who could accomplish this silently and have a motive is Ye Xi!”
As his words fell, a heavy silence ensued.
Surrounding him were over a dozen figures, all shrouded in black hoods.
Their faces were obscured, adding to the mystery.
Only one person sitting at the head of the table, a young man with silver hair and sharp eyes, exuded an extraordinary presence.
This was the current head of the Jiang Family, Jiang Wujì.
From beneath the cloaks, pairs of eyes instinctively turned towards Jiang Wujì.
They had seen the fate of the An Family.
A tragedy beyond compare.
Even with the Heavenly Punishment Sovereign personally intervening, the three ancestors of the An Family couldn’t escape disaster.
They certainly didn’t want to meet such a fate themselves.
Thus, everyone had gathered in the Jiang Family today to discuss countermeasures.
Jiang Wujì maintained a calm smile, his expression unruffled.
Sitting at the head, he surveyed the group with a gentle gaze and said softly, “I’ve already grasped the Eternal Emperor’s plan.”
“Don’t panic, my friends.”
Jiang Wujì confidently continued, “Based on my calculations and analysis, while the An Family is destroyed, consequently…”
He suddenly paused, extending one hand, and clenched it tightly.
“The advantage still lies with us; everything is within our control!”
