355 Ancient Sorcery (2/2)

”Damn it! The Witch God got to be kidding me! If he wanted to kill me, just do it. What's the fun of fooling me around like this?”

Jiang Yi rolled his eyes and murmured feebly. As time passed, he grew more and more anxious. If he could not find the secret manual—not only would he die, but He Lao would have to die with him as well.

Swish!

He swiftly flew to the outside. The door was still open. He began to search in the hall outside the door. He applied the fiery red essence force in his hands, checking every single place.

One hour later, he came back, demoralized. There was nothing outside the door. He managed to keep up his spirits. He started to tap everywhere in the inner sanctum bit by bit, injecting the same fiery red essence force. This essence force opened the door. So if there was a mechanism or restriction, it could definitely trigger it.

Another hour passed. Jiang Yi had searched everywhere inside and outside the central hall. Nothing was activated.

”That's wrong. There are two more places!”

Jiang Yi looked at the two skeletons. He did not check the places beneath them. He thought for some time. Gritting his teeth, he walked towards the remains of that Vajra Realm martial expert. He joined his hands together. ”Senior, sorry for offending you!”

His hands slowly reached to the skeleton. When they touched, the skeleton suddenly gleamed. Following that, three walls of the palace were lighted up, which were filled with numerous small and closely-written characters.

”The secret sorcery manual!”

Jiang Yi's eyes glinted and were stuck to the left wall. He studied the wall attentively.

”Puppet Mud Humanoid!”

Jiang Yi became more excited. He had seen the power of this sorcery. It was one badass sorcery!

Mud humanoids were impenetrable. An average Soul Travel Realm Expert could hardly destroy them. Only attacks from peak-stage Soul Travel Realm experts could hurt them. That was wrong… they were immortal and could not be hurt. Even peak-stage Soul Travel Realm experts were unable to kill them.

”This is it!”

Time was running short. Jiang Yi did not even look at the other two ancient sorceries. If he learned this, his combat strength would improve tremendously.

It did not take long for Jiang Yi to remember the sorcery manual. He sat cross-legged and tried to comprehend it. This was a kind of complicated sorcery, completely different from common martial skills. It was so obscure that Jiang Yi studied for two hours to get the hang of it.

Puppet Mud Humanoid was a technique derived from the Dao pattern of the Earth. Mud humanoids were congealed from the power of the Earth. They contained special runic patterns which made them exceptionally tough and invulnerable. Of course, the power of defense and attack also had a lot to do with the strength of the sorcerer and how thorough the realizations were.

Jiang Yi did not have to worry about the power of the mud humanoid. What he needed was to comprehend this ancient sorcery… so that he could stay alive—and even inherit this magical palace and the Witch God's sorceries.

Such a fascinating palace—with so many powerful strange spaces—should be an absolute treasure like the Thearch Palace. Being the master of this palace equated to owning a vast treasure house.

”As powerful as the Witch God, the restrictions inside the palace should be exceedingly horrifying. Average Vajra Realm martial experts that entered this palace would be defeated as well? Something was wrong—the Demon King!”

Jiang Yi shuddered at the thought of the Demon King. If he received the inheritance from the Witch God, did it make him the master of that formidable Demon King as well?”

If this was true, who else could hurt him besides the Demon Empress? That Demon King was half-way the Heaven Monarch Realm. His combat strength should be comparable with Shui Youlan?

If he subdued this Demon King, maybe he could find some ways to break the three-year promise with the six influential forces?

”Pa!”

Jiang Yi suddenly patted himself on the head while he was daydreaming. He gave a wry smile. ”That is one beautiful pipe-dream. More than four hours have passed. I will be slaughtered straight away if I don't move on to comprehend the sorcery…”

He quickly forced himself to calm down and cleared his mind. He focused on the realizations of the sorcery. Whether he was able to live or not depended on this.
