Jiang Ming's attributes didn't seem to change, but he underwent a huge change every day. Right now, he had almost reached the peak of the Real Core Realm. The next step was to soften the core so that it would gain the attribute of immortality and turn into the Golden Core. After obtaining the Golden Core, it would determine his longevity.
He scanned his status, barely noticing him. He looked at the Human Path Records that would display the information of the people he met.
Name: Jiang Momo.
Female gender.
Cultivation base: Natural Foundation Establishment Final Stage
Background: Disciple of the Jiaoyang Peak Jiuyang Sect (Note: He is actually from the Bishui Sect).
Relationship: 59.
Status: Complete an investigation into the situation at Chuyang Peak.
Jiang Ming fell silent as he saw the value of their relationship. Based on Momo's previous behavior, she expected their relationship's value to be at least 60, if not 70.59 not even reaching a passing grade.
Their relationship has a value of 59. That's an awkward number.
From the way Momo acted now, she would think that their relationship was at least 60, if not 70. To his surprise, it did not even reach the graduation mark.
“Secte Bishui?” Jiang Ming frowned. The name does not ring any bells. “Was he a spy or did he leave the sect to join Jiuyang Sect?”
He had no way of knowing it, but he had no intention of pursuing this matter. As long as it doesn't affect him, he won't intervene. He did not care about anything else nor did he have the ability to care. It is best to maintain a laissez-faire attitude.
“Investigate the situation at Chuyang Peak?” Jiang Ming laughed. “Did you come for the Bishui Sect, Jiaoyang Peak, or yourself? It seems like you are not friendly because of our relationship as fellow disciples. I hope you don't have any funny ideas, Momo.”
Swish!
The Human Path Note flipped to another page displaying Linghu Yin's information.
Jiang Ming felt even more speechless after he read the content of the page.
Name: Linghu Yin.
Gender: Male.
Cultivation Base: Natural Foundation Establishment early stage
Background: Disciple of the Zhiyang Peak Jiuyang Sect (Note: He is a disciple of the Yinmo Sect).
Relations: -88.
Status: Wounded severely by Zi Linglong and has escaped back to Zhiyang Peak.
“Truly surprise. There was one from the Bishui Sect, and there was one from the demon sect. This means there are many spies in Jiuyang Sect.”.
Jiang Ming felt a chill run down his spine. He had heard of the demon sect before. They are mentioned in many books. The demon sect was hunted down and exterminated; none of them existed. At least not openly.
If not for the Human Path Records, he would not have suspected that there was someone from the demon sect nearby.
The value of negative relationships surprised him as well.
“Although you were beaten so pitifully, it was not me who defeated you. Why do you hold a grudge against me?”
This value indicated that Linghu Yin would not rest until she took revenge.
“I hope you won't force me to act, Linghu Yin.”
After inserting the name Linghu Yin into his memory, he planned to monitor Linghu Yin daily through the Human Path Records.
After a while, he mentally wrote the name ‘Yue Cheng’ on the blank page of the Human Path Note.
Name: Yue Cheng.
Gender: Male.
Cultivation base: Natural Seed Dao.
Background: The First Seat of Zhiyang Peak (Note: He is actually an Elder of the Yinmo Sect).
Relations: -33.
Status: Listen to his disciple, Linghu Yin reports
Jiang Ming was completely shocked. A chill ran from the base of the spine to his brain as goosebumps erupted in his flesh.
Yue Cheng was the First Chair whose strength was comparable to that of the Sect Master. To think he was an Elder of the demon sect!
There is a devil's nest at Zhiyang Peak!
Jiuyang Sect consists of nine peaks: Taiyang Peak, Chuyang Peak, Shaoyang Peak, Laoyang Peak, Jiaoyang Peak, Lieyang Peak, Haoyang Peak, Zhiyang Peak, and Chunyang Peak.
Peak Taiyang was considered the top leader because his master was the Sect Master.
Each peak is granted autonomy. Apart from the declining Chuyang Peak, the other peaks were increasing day by day.
“Why did the demon sect elder become the First Chair in Jiuyang Sect? That sounds pretty absurd. I don't understand this at all!”
After thinking for a while, Jiang Ming was still unable to understand it so he decided to put the matter aside for now.
Then, he wrote down the names of the other First Chairs on the Human Path Note. Fortunately, the others were not outsiders; they were the original members of the Jiuyang Sect.
“Bishui Sect and Yinmo Sect. I wish I hadn't found out about this. Now that I know, I feel very uncomfortable. I'm still too weak. I need to cook more and farm more!”
Jiang Ming could not help the unease that had arisen in his heart. How he hoped that the Human Path Records could show one's past. Unfortunately, it has no function.
Jiuyang Sect is somewhat stable. There were no strange occurrences, no reports of students suddenly going missing in the past eight years. Sect Master is very strong and his disciples are healthy.
With this thought, Jiang Ming felt a little better.
“Otakku is sick because of all these thoughts.”
After a while, Jiang Ming studied the contents of the Basic Formation Almanac. He planned to focus on Formation and become a Formation Master. He wanted to set up an unrivalled Great Formation on the mountain to ensure everyone's safety. There's also Linglong. He has to take care of her.
Jiang Ming closed his eyes and understood the information from the almanac. He had learned about Formations before, but he barely scratched the surface with his knowledge.
Jiang Ming diligently studied the almanac, determined to work hard.
…
Zhiyang Peak.
There was a crowd of people in the many halls scattered all over the mountain. It was clearly much more lively than Chuyang Peak.
Inside the highest hall.
“Master, Zi Linglong is only ten years old, but he easily hurt me. He's clearly not normal. Can we do something with this information?” Linghu Yin asked gently.
Yue Cheng had the learned atmosphere of the First Chair. He looked at his disciple and said coldly, “Did you forget that I already told you not to disturb Chuyang Peak without my permission!”
“But, why, Guru?” Linghu Yin was confused. “That old grandfather, Gu Hai, is definitely not worthy of being the First Seat ..”
Linghu Yin stopped talking when she saw Yue Cheng's gaze become even colder.
“You fool! Get out, ” Yue Cheng said coldly.
Linghu Yin shuddered and hurriedly retreated.
“Chuyang Feng, Gu Hai, ten year old Zi Linglong!” Yue Cheng muttered softly as he closed his eyes, “You were lucky before. I don't have to act for now. I have to stay out of this. I'll wait..”.
…
Chuyang Peak.
Jiang Ming opened his eyes at sunset.
“This is the basics of Formation?”
He felt a little heavy-hearted. Although this was only basic knowledge, it surpassed the information contained in the books on Chuyang Peak.
“This is much more difficult than farming ..” Jiang Ming sighed.
“Why can't I master this with one tap of my finger?”
After complaining to himself, he left his room to prepare dinner.
…
As usual, Jiang Ming was rewarded for cooking dinner.
He went to the roof after he finished cleaning himself to stare at the stars.
At this moment, Zi Linglong was not cultivating. He was sitting next to her.
The night was silent.
As the weather grew colder, the two finally returned to their respective rooms.
After returning to his room, Jiang Ming extracted the cultivation he had obtained today. When he finished, he was only a step away from reaching the Golden Core Realm .. In addition, his body also grew even stronger.
