Chapter 866: Chapter 26: The Emperor’s Son’s Struggle! The Wang Family Fully Intervenes (Vote for Monthly Ticket)_3

As soon as Wang Luo Jing landed, various poisonous insects scattered in terror as if meeting their nemesis, leaving her a clean spot to stand.

“Luo Jing seeks an audience with Master.”

Wang Luo Jing bowed forward and spoke softly.

Looking at the exotic stilt house not far away, her eyes revealed a trace of nostalgia. Before going to the Academic Palace, she had spent half her time studying the Technique of Insect Control and the even more complex and dangerous Gu Techniques with Master Zhou Chang Feng.

Zhou Chang Feng was an Insect Master employed by the Changning Government Office, and he had made significant contributions to Changning in his lifetime.

The Red Fire Toad that her master Zhou Chang Feng had bestowed upon her had also been of great help. Without it, she would have likely failed to clear the side quests of the Divine Martial Dynasty.

However, as she entered the Valley of Ten Thousand Butterflies and gradually learned the more systematic and comprehensive inheritance of the Valley, the knowledge and various poisonous insects that Master Zhou Chang Feng had taught her seemed inadequate.

Most of the insects she had initially used were now obsolete, except for the Red Fire Toad, which still had good growth potential and which she occasionally used in battle.

Nevertheless, Wang Luo Jing still always regarded Zhou Chang Feng as her master. Every time she returned to Changning, she would surely visit him and share interesting stories from the Academic Palace.

“It’s Jing’er, come in.”

An old and weak voice came from inside the house.

Wang Luo Jing pushed open the door. Seeing Zhou Chang Feng sitting on the bamboo couch, already very frail, her expression changed, and she hurried over to support him, “Master, what happened to you? Who hurt you?”

“Do not worry, it is just my time,” Zhou Chang Feng was very old, but he spoke with an indifferent expression, “Jing’er, do not be too sad. I have lived for one hundred ninety-two years, which is considered long-lived among Profound Martial cultivators in the Spiritual Platform Realm.”

Although Wang Luo Jing understood this was a natural law—that cultivators of the Spiritual Platform Realm do not become Celestial beings and it is rare for them to survive past two hundred—she still felt a thick sorrow welling up in her heart.

“Jing’er, I don’t have much time left,” Zhou Chang Feng looked at Wang Luo Jing, his eyes filled with deep longing and seemingly looking through her at someone else, “I have called you here this time for two reasons: first, knowing that my end is near, I wanted to say goodbye. Second, after much deliberation, I’ve decided to pass on the half-part of the ‘Sacred Gu True Method’ that I possess to you.”

“True Method?” Wang Luo Jing was slightly startled, “Master, how did you come to possess the True Method?”

True Method is an extremely rare cultivation scripture, often known as “Top Quality Cultivation Technique.” Profound Martial cultivators, according to its teachings, can directly reach the Divine Power Territory.

The so-called Sacred Lands possess nine veins because each has a True Method inheritance.

Outside of Sacred Lands, only the top third-grade Aristocratic Families have True Method inheritances. Apart from these, the only way to obtain a True Method is to try and excavate ruins. Aside from the danger, the chances of finding a True Method are also incredibly slim, and even if one is lucky to find it, there is a high probability of the method being incomplete.

Indeed, any True Method is important enough to serve as the core of a family’s inheritance, and even within the Changning Wang Clan, there are no True Method inheritances currently. It is only Wang Liyao who, because she apprentices under Tianhe Enlightened One, can cultivate True Methods.

Therefore, even just a half-part of a True Method should not be underestimated.

“I obtained this when I was young, from the Barbarian Gu Clan in Southern Frontier,” Zhou Chang Feng’s eyes showed a hint of regret, “I have detailed the entire story in two letters. One of these letters is for you, and the other…”

As he said this, he looked at Wang Luo Jing with an exceedingly serious expression, “Luo Jing, you must promise your master, once you have learned it, you must take this half-part True Method and the letter to the Saintess of the Barbarian Gu Clan in the Southern Frontier.”

The Barbarian Gu Clan of the Southern Frontier?

Having studied over sixty years in the Purple Abode Academic Palace, Wang Luo Jing’s knowledge had vastly improved. She was aware that around Da Qian, there still existed some Barbarian tribes. Some tribes were self-contained, resisting interaction with Da Qian; others had simply submitted, while yet others were already destroyed.

After all, the vast territory of Da Qian had not been achieved without conflict, and numerous Barbarian tribes had been decimated by it.

The Barbarian Gu Clan of the Southern Frontier was one of these tribes.

Da Qian’s armies had tried several times to eliminate them but failed due to their geographical advantages and the powerful Gu insects of the opponents.

Because of this, the Barbarian Gu Clan of the Southern Frontier was particularly hostile toward the people of Da Qian.

This mission to the Southern Frontier was fraught with danger.

Nevertheless, out of respect for her master’s past kindness, Wang Luo Jing agreed, “Master, when the time is right, I will undertake this task for you.”

Once Zhou Chang Feng heard Wang Luo Jing’s promise, his last worry was addressed, and the breath that had been sustaining him finally dissipated.

After struggling to chat with her for a few more sentences, he could no longer sustain his life, and his breath gradually extinguished.

Although Wang Luo Jing was saddened, she still followed Zhou Chang Feng’s last wishes and did not conduct a burial. Instead, she let the thousands of poisonous insects he had raised consume both him and the stilt house completely.

…

At the same time.

Southern Desert County, Anbei Defense.
