355 Ancient Sorcery (1/2)

”This…”

Jiang Yi was genuinely frightened. How could dead people project an image? It could also talk! That image looked exactly the same as the one congealed by Shui Youlan.

Three thousand years!

Even martial artists at the Heaven Monarch Realm could not live that long. Many heaven monarchs in the history of the continent—such as the Heaven Monarch of Massacre and the Heaven Monarch of Ten-Thousand Dragons—all died eventually. They lived for five or six hundred years at most.

Jiang Yi took a few steps back. With a swallow or two, he finally spoke, ”Senior, you're still alive?”

Silence!

The Witch God did not say anything, his eyes fixed on Jiang Yi. After a short pause, Jiang Yi compelled himself to calm down and recall the Witch God's words. He asked again, ”Senior, are you saying that I don't have to die and get to leave the Witch God Forbidden Ground alive… if I can learn a type of sorcery within a day?”

Silence again!

Jiang Yi felt more nervous. This Witch God had a really strange temper. Why did he not reply to Jiang Yi? Peeped at the faint image of the Witch God, he realized that something was not right. The eyeballs of the Witch God did not move? Why did he gaze at him all the time? It looked like he was fixed there?

Slowly, he took a step to the side. Then he found out what was wrong. This image was indeed frozen. It was still staring towards the front—in the same direction, like a statue.

”Senior?”

”Senior, can you hear me?”

”Senior…”

With three successive attempts, the image did not move at all. Jiang Yi was completely relaxed. It seemed like the image and the voice were left by the Witch God when he was still alive. The ancient sorcery was automatically triggered when Jiang Yi arrived.

”Huuu!”

Making sure of this, Jiang Yi wiped the cold sweat off of his face. Luckily, it was an illusion; otherwise, this was too extraordinary.

”Eh?”

Without warning, the image in the middle of the air faded away and disappeared quickly. Jiang Yi was shocked by what he saw. He sat on the ground to get some rest. Exhaled deeply, something suddenly occurred to him. He jumped up and exclaimed, ”Senior, that's not right! You asked me to comprehend the ancient sorcery, but where is the secret manual? Without the secret manual, how can I get enlightenment?” Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

Yet…

Besides Jiang Yi's breathing, there was no other sound in the central hall. No one had told Jiang Yi where the secret manual was and how to fathom the ancient sorcery. Jiang Yi did not even understand what ancient sorceries were. All he knew was that one of Yun Fei and Yun Lu's men had comprehended the ancient sorceries—'Flora Essence' and 'Puppet Mud Humanoid'.

It was really difficult to grasp ancient sorceries. For instance, among the thousands of members of the Yun Clan, only Yun Fei and Lu Lao comprehended the 'Flora Essence'. He could imagine how hard it was to fathom ancient sorcery.

Now, Jiang Yi had to comprehend one within a day and without any secret manual.

God damn it!

Jiang Yi cursed in secret. He started to wander in the hall. Though he was furious, he would never give up until the very last moment. One day was not long, but what if…?

He did not waste his time and went to search for the secret manual. Only when it was found, he could try to figure out the ancient sorcery.

But…

He walked seven or eight rounds in the central hall. He scanned every part of the skeletons and was close to touching them. Still, Jiang Yi found nothing relating to the secret manual.
