Martial Saint through Reading

”Chu Ming can indeed deal with the Tier Six Evil, but the price he paid was not small, we...”

Before the words were finished.

Bang!

A loud noise came from beneath the Black Tower.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

The three of Ji Wujiang did not think at all and rushed straight to the Black Tower.

However.

As soon as the three reached the entry-level of the Black Tower, they saw someone in a Flame Patterned Robe floating out lightly.

”Master?” Chu Ming looked at the three of Ji Wujiang.

With clear eyes, a calm face, and an unharmed body, and beside him, the Tier Six Primordial Artifact Jade Gourd floated obediently.

Ji Wujiang was stunned for a moment, glancing at Chu Ming, then at the piece of Primordial Artifact Material in Chu Ming’s hand, his heart involuntarily developed a kind of disbelief.

”The Tier Six Evil... extinguished?”

He did not speak, Chang Qin Jiumin was the first to ask in astonishment.

”Extinguished.” Chu Ming raised the material in his hand, ”This is the Primordial Artifact Material left by the Evil.”

Extinguished?

Is it just extinguished?

Chang Qin Jiumin’s eyes locked on the material, while he extended his senses, probing the Evil within the Black Tower.

There was no sinister energy.

No source of Evil.

The Evil was really extinguished!

But... how long has it been?

From the time Chu Ming entered the Black Tower until he came out, they only exchanged a few words. Altogether, it was only a few cups of tea’s time.

In such a short time, with just a ”bang,” the Tier Six Evil, suppressed by the Cyan Stone Ancient Lamp for over a hundred years, was extinguished?

Chang Qin Jiumin looked at Ji Wujiang with some curiosity, as if asking something.

What more could be asked, other than what Ji Wujiang had just said.

”Chu Ming can indeed deal with the Tier Six Evil, but the price he paid was not small.”

This is called not a small price?

Chang Qin Jiumin, Chang Qin Nianqi, and even Ji Wujiang thought that this evil-slaying would surely be a difficult battle.

And now, within a few cups of tea’s time, Chu Ming comes out lightly with a piece of Primordial Artifact Material...

A little hard to accept.

Hard to accept?

Thinking of this, Chang Qin Jiumin’s eyes suddenly flashed.

No, extinguishing a Tier Six Evil so quickly and effortlessly, what does that say about Chu Ming’s strength...?

”What about your current strength?” Ji Wujiang also thought of this.

Chu Ming flipped his hand to put away the Tier Six Material, looked at Chang Qin Jiumin and Chang Qin Nianqi, then at Ji Wujiang, and slightly cupped his fists.

”Master, the ones who came to snatch the Cyan Stone Ancient Lamp yesterday were from the Central Continent Black and White Divine Palace.”

He did not directly answer the three’s questions but shifted the topic.

The topic was successfully changed, for Ji Wujiang’s expression quickly changed upon hearing the words ’Central Continent.’

”Force from the Cangqian Middle Continent?!”

Ji Wujiang did not expect that a set of National Treasure would first attract a behemoth like the Black Flame Sect from the Celestial Veil Kingdom, and then draw strong individuals from the Central Continent.

After a little thought, his eyes shone with Condensing Light.

There must be a secret hidden within the Cyan Stone Ancient Lamp!

But he did not express this aloud in public.

”Junior Brother Jiumin, Junior Sister Nianqi, could you let me speak with Chu Ming alone for a few moments?”

”Sure.”

Chang Qin Jiumin and Chang Qin Nianqi had many questions.

But both knew their relationship with Chu Ming was average, and it was better to ask through Ji Wujiang.

After the two retreated, Ji Wujiang and Chu Ming entered the Black Tower.

Ji Wujiang looked at Chu Ming. Despite having many things to say, he did not speak for a long time.

”Master, please feel free to ask whatever you want. If I know the answer, I will surely tell you.” Chu Ming noticed Ji Wujiang’s hesitation.

This hesitation might be due to knowing some things without understanding Chu Ming’s attitude, hence hesitating to speak directly.

Hearing this, Ji Wujiang understood Chu Ming’s attitude and no longer hesitated.

”During the battle yesterday, Jiumin told me that he forcibly activated the Star Golden List using Life Foundation to resist the Primordial Technique of those from the Black and White Divine Palace.”

”However, even with a life-forced activation, the Star Golden List shouldn’t have withstood that Nine Palace Starlight.”

”Moreover, Jiumin said he felt a momentary gaze from within the Star Golden List, and that gaze was almost identical to yours.”

Ji Wujiang looked at Chu Ming and said this sentence.

Although not a question, it was more powerful than one.

”...” Chu Ming paused for a moment, feeling slightly helpless.

Yesterday, not only did Chang Qin Jiumin forcibly activate the Star Golden List.

To withstand Junior Sister Ming Lu’s Black and White Nine Palace Primordial Technique, Chu Ming had also secretly forced activation, though it didn’t reach the level of exchanging Life Foundation like Chang Qin Jiumin did.

Otherwise, even normal activation, despite being the Star Golden List, could hardly withstand such a Primordial Technique.

Precisely because of some coercion, a moment of Heart Spirit remained in the Golden List during the activation.

Perhaps it was this moment that Chang Qin Jiumin sensed while also deciphering the Star Golden List.

Seeing Chu Ming not respond, Ji Wujiang continued, ”Actually, the Golden List Title, Golden Pillar Comprehension, serves another purpose. You should have guessed it and accomplished it.”

”Comprehending the Golden List,” Chu Ming said solemnly.

”Indeed.” Ji Wujiang’s eyes flickered slightly, ”The first step to borrowing the power of the Golden List is to gain its recognition, which is Golden List Title.”

”Those recognized can comprehend the Golden List.”

”The deeper the comprehension, the more power can be borrowed from the Golden List.”

”Chang Qin Jiumin has been comprehending for over three hundred years, able to borrow less than thirty percent of the List’s power, and at most forty percent during forced stimulation...”

Ji Wujiang said this, his eyes turning extremely complex as he looked at Chu Ming again.

”Your level of comprehension towards the Golden List...”

”About fifty to sixty percent.” Chu Ming replied.

Fifty to sixty percent...! Really?!

Fortunately, Chang Qin Jiumin was sent away; otherwise, hearing this would have heavily scarred that heart of the Royal Family.

Chang Qin Jiumin had comprehended for three hundred years, achieving over thirty percent, equating to about one percent per hundred years.
