Chapter 130: The Declined Heaven Secrets Lineage
Editor: Atlas Studios
Qi Ming studied it carefully for an entire night. He even used divine powers and many methods. He did not find anything, nor did he find any secrets hidden within.
This made Qi Ming feel quite helpless.
He was a little disappointed.
He thought that there would be something good hidden in the Heaven Secrets Book and Heaven Secrets Brush.
In the end, there was nothing.
What a waste of his emotions.
“I don’t think so.”
Qi Ming pondered for a moment and thought to himself, “This is something that Master, Patriarch Heaven Secrets, asked Shangguan Wenge to protect. Moreover, it has been safeguarded for a full tens of thousands of years. There must be a huge secret hidden inside. It’s just that I can’t come into contact with it now. Or rather, I don’t have the right to know.”
“As Shangguan Wenge said, the time is not ripe!”
Thinking of this, Qi Ming did not hesitate anymore.
Swish!
With a thought, he put the Heaven Secrets Book and the Heaven Secrets Brush into his inventory.
Fortunately, although the Heaven Secrets Book and the Heaven Secrets Brush did not give him anything, after Qi Ming completely refined the Heaven Secrets Manor Token, he obtained a cultivation technique and a divine power spell technique.
This was the inheritance his master, Patriarch Heaven Secrets, had taught Qi Ming.
The cultivation technique was the Book of Changes Divination Scripture.
The divine power spell technique was the Eight Trigrams Yin-Yang Divine Power.
Qi Ming was the personal disciple of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect’s Patriarch Heaven Secrets. Logically speaking, he naturally had to inherit his legacy. If the Heaven Secrets lineage did not decline, Qi Ming could still borrow the power and resources of the lineage.
Unfortunately…
The Heaven Enlightenment Sect’s Heaven Secrets lineage was almost completely gone. Almost no one in the Heaven Enlightenment Sect cultivated the cultivation method of the Heaven Secrets lineage. Basically, only Qi Ming was left.
Qi Ming was happy and relaxed about this.
This was because if Qi Ming was alone, he did not have to deal with various interpersonal relationships, nor did he have to deal with his senior brothers and junior brothers or the elders in the sect.
He could stay in the Heaven Secrets Manor and cultivate in peace.
Otherwise, it would be busy.
“I’ll charge a million low-grade spirit stones.” Qi Ming said, “The second AFK Farming slot will cultivate the Book of Changes Divination Scripture.”
Ding!
“Cultivating the Book of Changes Divination Scripture under the enhancement of 100,000 times…”
A notification appeared.
“I’ll charge a million low-grade spirit stones.”
Qi Ming continued, “The third AFK Farming slot cultivates the Eight Trigrams Yin-Yang Divine Power.”
…
In the following period of time, Qi Ming stayed in the Heaven Secrets Manor and did not go out again. He cultivated the Three Pure Dao Scripture, the Book of Changes Divination Scripture, and the Eight Trigrams Yin-Yang Divine Power every day.
Although he did not want to be too high-profile in the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain, news about him still gradually spread.
Over the years, there were too few legacy disciples who could obtain the recognition of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect’s ancestor. Most of the legacy disciples of the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain took the Grand Elders as their masters.
Qi Ming was different.
Patriarch Heaven Secrets had come out of the Heaven Perish Forbidden Zone. His intrinsic treasure, the Heaven Secrets Compass, had crossed space and descended to the Sect Master Hall to take Qi Ming as his personal disciple.
This kind of thing had only happened four times.
Coupled with Qi Ming, it was already the fifth time.
Of course, Patriarch Heaven Secrets was not the one who showed up in those four times, but the other two ancestors of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect. These two ancestors sealed themselves in the other two forbidden areas.
After this news spread, it immediately attracted the attention of many legacy disciples of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect. Basically, they knew that Qi Ming had actually obtained the attention of Patriarch Heaven Secrets and successfully became his disciple.
This was indeed not a small matter or a small topic.
Therefore, many legacy disciples of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect began to discuss this matter.
“Actually, we don’t have to pay too much attention to it. Tens of thousands of years ago, Patriarch Heaven Secrets sealed himself in the Heaven Perish Forbidden Zone. It’s basically impossible for him to appear. Qi Ming has taken on Patriarch Heaven Secrets as his master, but that only means that he’s more famous.”
“That’s right.”
“Moreover, the Heaven Secrets lineage has long declined. In the entire Heaven Enlightenment Sect, basically no one cultivates the cultivation methods and spells of the Heaven Secrets lineage. Qi Ming can be considered to be alone.”
“If there’s a chance, I want to see Qi Ming’s ability.”
“I want to see it too.”
“…”
The legacy disciples of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect said one after another.
During this period of time, many legacy disciples of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect came to the Heaven Secrets Manor. On the surface, they visited Qi Ming, but they actually wanted to challenge him.
Qi Ming rejected their visit with the excuse of cultivating in seclusion.
He was only at the late-stage Core Formation realm, and these legacy disciples of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect were basically all at the Leaving Aperture realm or even the Soul Formation realm.
The difference in realm was huge.
Even if Qi Ming rejected it, the Grand Elders would not say anything.
This did not make the legacy disciples of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect restrain themselves. Instead, it made them worse. They felt that Qi Ming was easy to bully and wanted to force him out.
“That’s enough.”
Until… a month later.
Su Qingyin came to visit Qi Ming. As the Sect Master’s personal disciple, she ordered these legacy disciples of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect to retreat. Only then did this matter become a little more restrained.
“Qi Ming, what’s the use of hiding behind a woman?”
“Yes, yes.”
“Qi Ming, if you have the guts, come out and fight us. No matter if you win or lose, at the very least, you can prove that you’re not a coward.”
“I heard that you fought against the siege of dozens of legacy descendants of the various major factions with a late-stage Core Formation realm cultivation in the Yinglong Grotto-heaven. Moreover, you even killed many of them. Such strength and talent even earned you the title of number one among the younger generation.”
“How famous is this?”
“But are you afraid now?”
“You don’t even dare to spar with the sect now?”
“Ridiculous.”
In the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain, these words began to circulate.
They were deliberately forcing Qi Ming to submit.
In the Heaven Secrets Manor.
“Senior Brother Qi, are you alright?”
Su Qingyin asked in concern, “You don’t have to care about what they say at all. You’ve just entered the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain to cultivate, and they’ve already entered it for so many years. They actually dare to brazenly challenge you. They’re really too shameless.”
“Junior Sister Su.” Qi Ming smiled and did not answer Su Qingyin. Instead, he asked, “Why do you have time to come here?”
“Master asked me to see you.” Su Qingyin said.
“Oh.” Qi Ming said, “Help me thank the Sect Master.”
“Sigh…” Su Qingyin sighed, “Actually, I feel that you shouldn’t acknowledge Patriarch Heaven Secrets as your master. Among the six Grand Elders, no matter who you choose, it’s better than choosing Patriarch Heaven Secrets.”
“That’s because Patriarch Heaven Secrets sealed himself in the forbidden zone and cannot help you.”
“Look at the situation now, although you’ve become Patriarch Heaven Secrets’s personal disciple, you seem quite powerful at a glance. Your status is higher than ours.”
“But in fact, it’s not like that at all.”
“In the Heaven Secrets lineage, you’re the only one left, right? The other two ancestors are a little better. At the very least, they’re not as small as the Heaven Secrets lineage.”
“If you acknowledge any Grand Elder as your master, under such circumstances, you can still have a fellow disciple from the same lineage help you.”
“In the current situation, the senior brothers and sisters who are from the Green Cloud Peak with you don’t dare to speak up for you.”
“Now… You can only face them alone.”
“It’s fine.”
Qi Ming smiled. “I don’t plan to go out anyway. Moreover, their mouths belong to them. If they want to scream, let them. Do you think I can control their mouths?”
“Although that’s the case…” Su Qingyin pursed her lips.
“Alright.”
Qi Ming waved his hand, “Junior Sister Su, can it be that we don’t have to talk about these unhappy things after meeting? How’s your cultivation recently?”
“Not bad.”
Su Qingyin shrugged. “I obtained the inheritance in the Yinglong Grotto-heaven. It seems to have awakened my past life’s wisdom. I’ve already cultivated to the late-stage Nascent Soul realm.”
“So fast.” Qi Ming was a little surprised, “Congratulations, Junior Sister.”
“I still cannot compare to you.” Su Qingyin said, “Although I’m at the late-stage Nascent Soul realm, if I really fight you, I won’t even be able to withstand a single move. You’re simply a monster.”
“I heard from Master that you dealt with dozens of legacy descendants of the various large factions alone. Moreover, every one of them is at the early-stage Leaving Aperture realm, while you’re only at the late-stage Core Formation realm.”
“With such strength, you’re too fierce and too strong.”
“I was shocked when I heard that.”
“It’s not that they’re not strong enough. It’s just that they met me.” Qi Ming said.
“Senior Brother Qi, you’re so funny.” Su Qingyin smiled.
“I’m telling the truth.” Qi Ming said.
“Oh… okay.” Su Qingyin replied.
“Junior Sister Su.” Qi Ming asked, “Why do you think these legacy disciples of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect insist on staring at me? I don’t remember offending them, right?”
“I’m not sure about that.”
Su Qingyin thought for a moment, “Senior Brother Qi, although you haven’t offended them, you’re the personal disciple of Patriarch Heaven Secrets. This title is very famous.”
“If they can defeat you, even if it’s an unfair victory, it’s still something worth flaunting to them.”
“There will always be some people who want to stand out.”
“Also…” Su Qingyin pondered for a moment and said carefully, “I… I heard that. It means that several Grand Elders want to probe the Heaven Secrets lineage, so they let these legacy disciples take the lead.”
Qi Ming’s eyes flashed as he pondered.
There was actually such a thing.
The Grand Elders were probing?
They chatted for a while more before Su Qingyin left.
Although the Heaven Secrets lineage had declined and only Qi Ming was left alone, there was actually another old monster, Shangguan Wenge.
This old monster was a figure from the same era as Patriarch Heaven Secrets.
However…
Qi Ming could not order him.
Shangguan Wenge was also happy to see Qi Ming make a fool of himself. He even came to laugh at Qi Ming every day for no reason, clearly wanting to be a bystander.
Qi Ming knew that because of the restriction and limitation, Shangguan Wenge could not leave the range of a hundred meters from the Heaven Secrets Manor. If anyone trespassed, he had to take action and expel them.
Thus, Qi Ming dared to stay in the Heaven Secrets Manor every day.
There was Shangguan Wenge guarding it so the Heaven Secrets Manor was the safest place.
If anyone dared to come in, Shangguan Wenge would naturally teach them a lesson.
“So what do the Grand Elders want to probe?”
Qi Ming guessed in his heart, “Do they want to test Shangguan Wenge? I’m afraid he’s the only one worth probing. They won’t dare to anger Master, Patriarch Heaven Secrets.”
