As An Immortal, I Only Learn Forbidden Skills - Chapter 583

583 Five-Colored Obsidian Stone
Minister Zuo spoke with a simpering expression.

Jiang Ming raised his eyebrows a few times and said indifferently, “As long as you work for me honestly and provide me with enough information, I will naturally be able to guarantee your safety. Of course, I hope you can remember one thing. If our sect can save your life, we can naturally take your life as well.”

Minister Zuo gulped and said, “Master, don’t worry. I’ll definitely do my best to cooperate with you and provide you with everything you want to know.”

“Alright, then let me ask you the first question. What is the current attitude of the royal family and the royal court toward the Immortal Feather Grotto-Heaven and other sects?” Jiang Ming asked coldly. He could not be bothered beating around the bush with Zuo Xiangxu, so he might as well cut to the chase.

Hearing this, Minister Zuo thought for a moment before saying, “It’s an enemy force, but their relationship is also quite ambiguous. The royal family needs to rely on the Immortal Feather Grotto-Heaven to suppress those other sects and factions. The Immortal Feather Grotto-Heaven also needs the royal family to be their puppet… However, the Mo brothers’ intentions are very clear. They want to develop the Mo family to replace the current royal family of the Feather Kingdom. Similarly, the royal family of the Feather Kingdom also wants to slowly devour the Immortal Feather Grotto-Heaven, turning it into a military for the ruling class of the Feather Kingdom. In any case, they are all using each other. They all want to replace each other’s core strength… However, this is based on the fact that Reverend Mo will not interfere. Once Reverend Mo interferes, the royal family of the Feather Kingdom will definitely not have a chance to turn the tables.”

“Mo Lingche…”

Jiang Ming raised his eyebrows again. After taking a few deep breaths, he said seriously, “Mo Lingche is indeed a powerful character. Once he steps into this game, the Immortal Feather Grotto-Heaven will definitely win. Unfortunately, his mind is not on fighting for power in the Lower Realm. He is very ambitious, and he doesn’t just want the Feather Kingdom. But I dare not say that he won’t make a move. Perhaps one day, his thoughts will change. After all, the situation is ever-changing. No one knows what will happen.”

After more than two hundred years of experience, Jiang Ming had a general understanding of human nature. His insight into the human heart had reached a level that ordinary cultivators could not imagine.

He knew very well that once something happened that could change the situation in the Upper Realm, let alone the Feather Kingdom, it would be a small matter to Mo Lingche.

“A reincarnated immortal, and a reincarnated immortal with great ambition at that. He must be an extremely cold-blooded and heartless person. Mo Lingche is too dangerous. I can’t touch him so easily, or the consequences will be unimaginable.”

Jiang Ming’s mind was racing. After a while, he made a very wise decision.

“Everyone, immediately enter a state of alert. No matter what, we have to quickly establish a defensive array formation… It must be a defensive array formation that can block a reincarnated immortal at the Deity Transformation Realm!”

At this moment, the black sword’s voice was heard. “I have an array formation that can defend against all attacks from cultivators below the Cultivation Integration Realm. Are you interested?”

Jiang Ming pursed his lips and said speechlessly, “If you have something to say, just say it. Don’t beat around the bush!”

The black sword was rendered speechless. After a long while, it continued, “This array formation of mine is rather special. It requires a material called the Five-Colored Obsidian Stone. It might be difficult to find it in the Lower Realm…”

“Five-Colored Obsidian Stone?”
Jiang Ming’s eyebrows twitched. Something that the black sword found difficult to find could be very common in this era!

“Is this the Five-Colored Obsidian Stone?”

Suddenly, a voice rang out. It was Minister Zuo.

Jiang Ming glanced at the other party’s ring, and the black sword exclaimed, “It really is a Five-Colored Obsidian Stone… My God, he actually made such an extremely precious treasure into a ring. What a waste!”

Then, Minister Zuo said, “The Five-Colored Obsidian Stone is quite rare. It’s only found at the Five-Colored Mountain.”

“What’s the level of that force?” Jiang Ming asked.

“It’s roughly at the level of the Crimson Light Grotto-Heaven.”

The level of Crimson Light Grotto-Heaven?

This meant that this faction was not weak, but they had yet to reach the level of the Immortal Feather Grotto-Heaven.

The three grotto-heavens and six blessed lands were also divided into three, six, and nine levels. If the six blessed lands were at the lowest level, then Immortal Feather Grotto-Heaven was at the highest level.

The Crimson Light Grotto-Heaven belonged to the middle group, but in terms of strength, it was much weaker than the Immortal Feather Grotto-Heaven.

“But the Crimson Light Grotto-Heaven is not something to laugh at either. A faction that can be compared to it will not be easy to deal with.”

Jiang Ming made a decision after thinking hard for a while.

“Let’s go! No matter what, we have to take down the Five-Colored Mountain and collect the Five-Colored Obsidian Stones to build a defensive array formation!”

Jiang Ming quickly led Wu Ming and the others to the vicinity of the Five-Colored Mountain.

At this moment, there were many troops stationed near the Five-Colored Mountain. They sensed that an enemy was coming and immediately prepared for battle.

“What’s wrong?” a commander stationed here asked.

“Our array formation sensed that someone was approaching the Five-Colored Mountain.”

“Approaching the Five-Colored Mountain? Why? There’s nothing special in the Five-Colored Mountain other than the Five-Colored Obsidian Stone!” someone asked in confusion.

Another shrugged and said, “God knows. I guess they’re trying to make way for us. After all, the Five-Colored Mountain leads to the Daliang Kingdom. Many merchants often want to make way for us to prevent bandits from obstructing us.” But after so many years, there has been no one here to ask to use that road. After all, no one has ever passed through… The Five-Colored Mountain isn’t a kind faction. In addition to the agreement between us and the royal family, we have to defend this place to excavate the Five-Colored Obsidian Stones. There are always heavy guards guarding this place. We won’t let any merchant teams pass.”

An elder spoke and waved his hand. “Men, go and inform that caravan to leave as soon as possible. Otherwise, don’t blame us for being rude! We’re relying on mining the Five-Colored Obsidian Stones to make various decorations in exchange for spirit stones and resources. We don’t have the time to bother with them!”

From their conversation, it was clear that they did not value the Five-Colored Obsidian Stone. They only treated it as an important material for decorations. Their main purpose was to earn resources and spirit stones.

Jiang Ming and the others were quickly blocked.

“Sir, please take a detour. We are extremely busy here and have no intention of making way for you.”

An elder of the Five-Colored Mountain came and spoke apologetically.

However, Jiang Ming and the others were stunned. These people’s attitudes were a little too polite.

Jiang Ming pondered for a moment and said, “Friend, we didn’t come here to do business, nor did we come here for a favor.”

“Then why are you here?” the Five-Colored Mountain cultivator asked in confusion.
