#5 - Chapter 005 You comprehended the Emperor's Scripture "Dragon Power Heaven Suppression
Seven days passed, and although Jiang Ning hadn't found a way to restore his root bone, he didn't give up.
He continued to wipe the stone tablet with focused dedication every day.
In the process, he used the Instant Learning Cheat to comprehend the inheritance within the stone tablet.
[You have carefully observed the stone tablet, triggering the Instant Learning Cheat, and comprehended the Heaven-Rank Top-Grade combat skill, Gale Four Swords.]
"Heaven-Rank Top-Grade!"
"This is the strongest combat skill."
"Unfortunately, my root bone hasn't recovered yet, and I don't have any cultivation. Even if I learn it, I can't use it."
Jiang Ning revealed a bitter smile.
A Heaven-Rank Top-Grade combat skill. Among the entire Jiang clan, there are definitely no more than ten people who have fully mastered it.
And yet, he completely comprehended it in an instant.
Cheaters truly can't be compared to any genius or prodigy.
Gale Four Swords is divided into: Whirlwind Slash, Forward Slash, Wind Wall, and Raging Wind Absolute Breath Slash.
It is a combination of offense and defense, a nimble and elegant peerless swordsmanship.
Its power is astonishing, and it can even rival some weaker Lesser Divine Powers.
And just like that, another month passed in a flash.
For this month, Jiang Ning's life was a simple and fulfilling routine.
During the day, he would go to wipe the stone tablet, seeking a way to restore his root bone.
In the evening, he would return to Sin Forest and farm the vegetable garden outside the bamboo house with Xiao Li.
He hoed the ground, Xiao Li watered it, and both of them enjoyed themselves immensely.
Over the past month, Jiang Ning had learned countless cultivation methods and combat skills by relying on his cheat.
If any of these cultivation methods or combat skills were taken out individually, they would cause a bloody storm of contention.
However, Jiang Ning wasn't happy at all.
After all, these weren't what he needed. What he craved was a way to restore his root bone.
Without being able to restore his root bone, these cultivation methods and combat skills were useless to him.
However, comprehending so many cultivation methods and combat skills was equivalent to laying the most solid foundation for him.
As long as he restored his root bone and could start cultivating, he would surely soar to the sky.
The number of spirit stones he had also exceeded three hundred thousand.
Even a Law Manifestation Realm expert would rarely be able to take out such wealth.
In the Stone Tablet Forest, Jiang Ning continued his new day of wiping the stone tablets.
[You have carefully observed the stone tablet, triggering the Instant Learning Cheat, and comprehended the Heaven-Rank Top-Grade cultivation method, Heavenly Fiend Asura Art.]
"This Heavenly Fiend Asura Art cultivates with boundless baleful aura and death energy. The ancestral land has no shortage of baleful aura and death energy."
"Moreover, by circulating this cultivation method, I will no longer be afraid of baleful aura entering my body and enduring the pain of ten thousand insects devouring my heart."
Jiang Ning was overjoyed.
As long as he cultivated the Heavenly Fiend Asura Art, Xiao Li wouldn't have to endure the pain of ten thousand insects devouring her heart every night.
This little girl and he relied on each other for survival in the ancestral land.
Although they hadn't known each other for long, it could be said that Xiao Li was the person Jiang Ning felt the deepest connection with.
Naturally, he didn't want to see her suffer every night.
After finishing the work of wiping the stone tablet, Jiang Ning returned to the bamboo house.
Jiang Ning had also learned that this bamboo house had a history of over a thousand years.
It should be the house where Jiang Taixu lived in the ancestral land when he was reflecting on his mistakes.
That's why a wooden sculpture of a woman was left behind, allowing Jiang Ning to comprehend the Void Sword Intent.
At night.
Jiang Ning and Xiao Li lay on the bed.
Xiao Li was getting more and more beautiful, and the relationship between master and servant between her and Jiang Ning was also deepening.
She originally thought that life in the ancestral land would be very difficult, but now she realized that it was the happiest time of her life.
The young master treated her very well, was very gentle, and was approachable.
Every evening, farming the vegetable garden with the young master was her happiest moment.
She seemed to be increasingly dependent on Jiang Ning. If she were to be separated from Jiang Ning at this time, she would definitely be very sad.
The young master had become the closest person to her in this world, besides the Empress Dowager.
"Xiao Li, I have a cultivation method here that can absorb baleful aura. I will pass it on to you, but you must never let anyone else know."
Jiang Ning leaned close to Xiao Li's ear and said softly.
Xiao Li's talent wasn't weak. Without any good resources, she had cultivated to the peak of the凝气 (Ningqi) Realm at the age of fifteen.
"Young Master, I won't let anyone know."
Xiao Li nodded obediently.
Jiang Ning directly passed the Heaven-Rank Top-Grade cultivation method, Heavenly Fiend Asura Art, to Xiao Li.
He had completely comprehended it, and although he couldn't use it, he could pass it on to others.
After passing it on, Xiao Li's face changed drastically, and she looked at Jiang Ning with a shocked expression.
"This… This is a Heaven-Rank Top-Grade cultivation method."
"Young Master, I… I am just a maidservant. Why are you passing on such a precious cultivation method to me…"
Xiao Li became somewhat at a loss.
A Heaven-Rank Top-Grade cultivation method.
This was the most powerful cultivation method besides the Sacred Texts and Emperor Scriptures.
Even in the royal family, only a very few core members could cultivate it.
She even became a little scared.
She was afraid that the young master would be punished by the royal family for secretly passing on the Heaven-Rank cultivation method to her.
Jiang Ning comforted her, "You don't have to worry, I have my own plans."
"Here are also ten thousand spirit stones. Take them and cultivate slowly."
Jiang Ning took out ten thousand spirit stones.
With a rustling sound, they piled up into a small mountain in the bamboo house.
"This… Ten thousand spirit stones? To give to me for cultivation?"
Xiao Li opened her small mouth in surprise.
Ten thousand spirit stones, the ten-year salary of a second-grade official of the Great Xia Dynasty!
Where had a small maidservant like her ever seen so many spirit stones?
Moreover, they were all for her to use for cultivation.
"Young Master."
Suddenly, Xiao Li's eyes turned red.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Ning asked in confusion.
"Why are you so good to me? I'm just your little maidservant."
"Silly girl, the two of us rely on each other for survival here. You are the closest person to me."
Jiang Ning smiled slightly.
He completely regarded this cute and strong girl as his younger sister.
"Wuwu~", Xiao Li cried with emotion.
No one had ever been so good to her.
"Alright, don't cry. You have to cultivate hard."
"Now that my root bone has been crippled, I am a useless person who cannot cultivate. You must become strong so that you can protect my safety."
In order to reassure Xiao Li to cultivate in peace, Jiang Ning found such an excuse.
"Young Master, don't worry, Xiao Li will definitely become stronger and won't allow anyone to bully you."
"Anyone who dares to harm the young master must step over my corpse."
Xiao Li's gaze became incomparably firm.
She also accepted the Heaven-Rank Top-Grade cultivation method and ten thousand spirit stones with peace of mind.
She must become strong so that she can better protect the young master.
Jiang Ning had already fully understood the Heavenly Fiend Asura Art.
With his guidance, Xiao Li quickly grasped the essentials.
The baleful aura was completely absorbed by Xiao Li and used to cultivate the Heavenly Fiend Asura Art.
Naturally, it could no longer cause her harm and endure the pain of ten thousand insects devouring her heart.
……
The next day, Jiang Ning went to the Stone Tablet Forest and met the old, toothless old man again.
"Senior, why do I always see you staying on this stone pier?" Jiang Ning asked.
The stone pier was full of traces of time, and it was engraved with a lifelike dragon pattern.
He had met the old man many times in the past month.
Most of the time, he was sitting cross-legged on the stone pier, motionless.
The old man smiled slightly at Jiang Ning, "Young man, there is a rumor in the family that this stone pier contains the greatest secret of our Jiang clan. This old man has one foot in the grave and is trying to see if he can defy fate with an opportunity."
"I don't know if this rumor is nonsense. After all, no one has ever found an opportunity on this stone pier."
Perhaps he was too bored. Every time they met, the old man would chat with Jiang Ning for a few words.
"The greatest secret of the Jiang clan?" Jiang Ning's interest was instantly piqued.
He stared intently at the stone pier, immersing his mind in it.
"Aowu!"
A divine dragon suddenly appeared in Jiang Ning's mind.
Its body length was unknown how many kilometers, and it exuded an endless, vast dragon might, looking down upon the entire universe.
It was full of the might of reigning over the nine heavens, unmatched.
[You have carefully observed the stone pier, triggering the Instant Learning Cheat, and comprehended the first volume of the Emperor Scripture, Dragon Strength Suppressing Heaven Scripture.]
