As An Immortal, I Only Learn Forbidden Skills-Novel2

593 Could You Be an Illegitimate Son?

Master Mo had never thought that he would be this sought-after one day.

Most importantly, Jiang Ming was standing outside expectantly. He was waiting for his answer.

Master Mo sucked in a few breaths of cold air and said seriously, “I shall accept your request, but I need to confirm if you can come back alive.”

“It depends on your luck. If you dare trick me, I won’t save you even if I come back… So, you just have to weigh the pros and cons.”

Jiang Ming was still smiling cunningly.

Master Mo was silent for a while. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said seriously, “It’s at the Dragon Burial Pool. It’s said that there’s a divine weapon at the bottom of the pool. It’s from Long Qie’s mortal enemy. As long as you bring this sword back, you’ll be able to gain the friendship of the Long family. The current Long family is a large family in the vast cultivation world. They are even stronger than the Ancient Kingdom Blessed Land. If you can obtain the Long family’s friendship, you will be like a fish in water in the Qing Kingdom’s territory!” action

The Qing Kingdom?

Jiang Ming was stunned. He glanced at this guy and asked, “What the hell is the Qing Kingdom?”

“The Qing Kingdom is a country that occupies a small land area, similar to the Feather Kingdom. Of course, the small area is relative to those ancient countries. The strength of the Qing Kingdom is not something that the Feather Kingdom can compare to. There are countless strong people, and there are even more powerful families. Most importantly, the Qing royal family controls the Qing Kingdom, but they also control the territory outside of the Qing Kingdom. In the past, the Qing Kingdom was an entity that could wrestle with the Yuan Wei Empire. It even once occupied one-third of the South Continent, making many holy lands and ancient sects submit to them. Now, some ancient countries are the servants of the Qing Kingdom. Of course, the current Qing Kingdom doesn’t have that kind of power, but it still has the power to compete with ordinary ancient countries. It’s only second to the Ascension Divine Nation.”

As Master Mo spoke, Jiang Ming finally understood. The Qing Kingdom was the Zhou royal family of his previous life. It was just that as time passed, the Qing royal family’s control over the aristocratic families was not as strong as before.

The aristocratic families of the past had all established their own territories, and the Qing royal family had now become mere figureheads.

“However, the Qing royal family is still not weak. They also control some small countries and forces. In terms of territory, they are no different from ancient countries. It’s just that there are very few territories that are directly subordinate to them.”

Jiang Ming rubbed his temples. He believed that once he stepped into the territory of the Qing royal family, it would be very troublesome, and the forces of the aristocratic families would be dragged into everything.

If possible, Jiang Ming did not plan to go to the territory of the Qing royal family.

Master Mo saw this and sneered, “There must be a deeper meaning behind Gongye Jiu’s words. Also, he told me to tell you not to join the Zhuyan Palace. Elder Mo really thinks highly of you, and he is a good person. However, the experts of the other factions in the Ancient Zhuyan Nation are not simple. Once you step into them, it is very likely that you will die. Of course, you will definitely run into the Zhuyan Palace in the future, so what you have to do is to become stronger so that you will have the ability to protect yourself when that happens.”

When Master Mo finished speaking, he could not help but sigh. “I don’t know what your relationship with Master Jiu is. Could it be that you’re Master Jiu’s illegitimate son? Or are you related to Master Jiu’s father? Otherwise, why would the mysterious Master Jiu take such good care of you? It actually paved the way for your future.”

It wasn’t that Master Mo was annoying, but there were too many strange coincidences. Even Jiang Ming felt that there was a big problem.

Jiang Ming shook his head. He said seriously again, “Are you sure there is a Dragon Burial Sword in the Dragon Burial Pool? This is Long Qie’s territory. We can sense that Long Qie’s ghost must be in the depths… He’s also extremely powerful. Once we step into it, it’s very likely that we’ll die. Therefore, we have to confirm whether the Dragon Burial Sword exists. After all, according to common sense, dragons won’t let go of the Dragon Burial Sword.”

Master Mo raised his eyebrows.

“How can there be a dragon and a ghost inside? This is clearly an entrance to the Netherworld… However, your guess is correct. There is indeed a powerful spirit guarding this place. According to Master Jiu, it should be a powerful existence from the Netherworld guarding here. The purpose is to prevent people from entering the Netherworld by mistake. After all, the Netherworld is extremely chaotic now.”

The Netherworld was extremely chaotic!

Jiang Ming quickly thought of Yuan Wei and the other ancient dynasties. He immediately understood why this guard was there. However, was Long Qie’s ghost really not here?

“This is Longqie Mountain. Didn’t they say that Long Qie established a ghost domain here? Could it be that this rumor that has been circulating for thousands of years is false?”

Jiang Ming frowned.

Master Mo shook his head.

“I don’t know. Perhaps you can ask that guard. In any case, there aren’t any of Long Qie’s possessions here, not even a strand of his hair. Of course, I seriously doubt whether you have the ability to obtain the Dragon Burial Sword. After all, the owner of the Dragon Burial Sword was a half-step Cultivation Integration Realm expert at his peak!”

Jiang Ming pondered for a long time before he left with a flick of his sleeve. Since it was Gongye Jiu’s idea, he had to go and take a look no matter what.

Soon, Jiang Ming and Zhu An’an arrived in front of a cave.

“An’an, stay outside.”

Jiang Ming took a step forward and was pulled back by Zhu An’an.

“Mister, I want to go with you.”

Jiang Ming was stunned and smiled bitterly.

“It’s extremely dangerous inside. It’s not suitable for you to enter…”

“Mister, I’ve grown up. I’m already in my thirties or forties, and my cultivation has reached the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm. If you bring me along, you still have a good chance of survival.”

Zhu An’an spoke very seriously, and then she said arrogantly, “Moreover, my current cultivation realm and combat strength far surpass yours, Mister!”

The corner of Jiang Ming’s mouth twitched, and his heart ached.

Indeed, this little girl had cultivated for less than thirty years, but she had caught up with and surpassed his hundreds of years of hard work.

“Talent and aptitude will always trump hard work. Not to mention that this little girl is simply a monstrous genius! Perhaps I have a better chance of survival if I bring her along.”
