“If we’re so suspicious of each other, I’m afraid no one will get what they want.”

Jiang Sanjia pondered for a moment before saying, “How about this, I’ll impart the Phantom Valley Sect’s Hundred Steps Flying Sword to you as a down payment?”

An Jing shook his head. “I’m not interested in the Hundred Steps Flying Sword.”

He already had the True Martial level Sword Technique on him. If he could obtain the Hundred Steps Flying Sword, it would indeed be icing on the cake. However, if he was deceived by this old man, it would not be worth it.

Jiang Sanjia said, “My Phantom Valley Sect’s Hundred Steps Flying Sword is a Heaven realm sword technique. Are you really not tempted?”

Heaven level martial arts?

An Jing’s heart was moved. Up until now, he had not been able to obtain a Heaven level martial technique after obtaining the Earth Book. Now that the Heaven realm sword technique was in front of him, it truly moved his heart.

Jiang Sanjia sneered in his heart. As one of the oldest sects, Phantom Valley’s deep heritage was rarely seen in the entire martial world. This Hundred Steps Flying Sword was indeed a Heaven realm sword technique, but it was the hardest to cultivate.

In the entire history of Phantom Valley Sect, there were very few who could cultivate this Hundred Steps Flying Sword.

One had to know that the Phantom Valley Sect only recruited geniuses. In the vast river of time, these geniuses were like carps crossing the river, but most of them were unable to cultivate the Hundred Steps Flying Sword. From this, one could see the difficulty of the Hundred Steps Flying Sword.

In this generation, no one had learned this sword technique yet.

Since ordinary people could not learn it, why not give it to the person in front of him?

He would not be able to learn it anyway.

“Very well. Speak your mind. If it is true, I will save you,” An Jing said lightly.

“Alright, I’ll recite this sword technique now. Listen carefully, there’s only one time.”

Jiang Sanjia nodded and began to narrate the general principles of the Hundred Steps Flying Sword. “The people of the world are afflicted by the poison, the world is set on fire, and among the thousands of sword sects, I am the only one who can move unhindered. The sky hangs with the stars and moon, the earth enters the Phantom Valley, a horizontal line can be crossed, and a hundred years can be difficult to comprehend.”

When An Jing heard this, he felt more and more that it was incomparably marvelous. Among them, the sword arts and moves were even more extraordinary, making his eyes light up.

Attacking with a horizontal sword to gain an advantage was a tactic; attacking with a vertical sword to for reality was to seek closure. These are the means for heaven and earth. To open and to seek closure, the Phantom Valley Sect combines yin and yang. The person would be able to master both the tactics of horizontal and vertical strikes.

Not only was every sword strike and every stance exceptionally exquisite, they also contained the core concepts of the Phantom Valley. The vast concepts contained within were also extraordinary.

An Jing could not help but feel curious about the Phantom Valley Sect.

“This is the Hundred Steps Flying Sword.”

In the end, Jiang Sanjia exhaled deeply.

Jiang Sanjia sneered in his heart as he looked at the frowning person in black. So what if I tell you the outline of the Hundred Steps Flying Sword? Without the Phantom Valley Cultivation Technique, it would be difficult to cultivate it even if you were a genius.

The Phantom Valley Sect had countless geniuses throughout history. Even with the help of the Phantom Valley mental cultivation technique, there were not many who successfully cultivated it.

“It’s true.”

An Jing nodded. His swordsmanship was brilliant to begin with, so he could naturally tell whether this swordsmanship was real or fake. Jiang Sanjia was certain that this swordsmanship was not fake.

Besides, the Book of the Earth had also changed.

Cultivation: Rank One

Fate: Lucky Star

Ability: Genius

Martial Skills: Sword Drawing Technique, Hidden Sword Technique, Imperial Sword Technique, Nine Symbolic Sword Technique, Heaven Shifting Movement Technique, Zenith Heaven Cultivation Technique, Qi Restraining Technique, Hundred Steps Flying Sword (Third Level)

Prompt 1: The host’s fate has yet to take root (after one year). When performing martial arts, no one is allowed to know the host’s identity. Otherwise, you will receive a black opportunity.

Prompt 2: There are people who can deduce the heavenly secrets in Yuzhou dungeons. You can obtain the yellow opportunity (the whereabouts of the Bodhi Bead) from them.

…

With the existence of this Earth Book, no matter how difficult a martial art was, An Jing could easily learn it. In addition to his bones and fate, his cultivation level naturally increased very quickly.

Other than the mental cultivation, most martial arts were divided into ten levels. To be able to learn the basics after cultivating the Hundred Steps Flying Sword meant that An Jing had deep attainments in swordsmanship.

“Then it’s time for you to fulfill your promise,” said Jiang Sanjia.

“Definitely.”

An Jing smiled and unsheathed his sword.

Since Jiang Sanjia was related to his Bodhi Bead, he would definitely save him.

Chi!

Internal energy flowed into the sword and a red light glowed.

“What profound inner force!”

Seeing An Jing attack, Jiang Sanjia knew that An Jing’s strength was extraordinary.

The streak of light heavily struck the iron chain.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

With a flash of sword light, the three iron chains instantly broke as though they were made of mud.

An Jing kicked open the cell door and raised his arm. It was as if countless sword lights were dancing in the air. In an instant, the chains that wrapped around Jiang Sanjia’s body were all broken. In the end, he coolly sheathed his sword.

The chains on Jiang Sanjia’s body broke as he staggered and almost fell to the ground.

“Let’s go!”

Jiang Sanjia suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and hurriedly said.

He knew that now was not the time to be happy.

“Hey, there’s trouble.”

An Jing sighed.

“What happened?”

Jiang Sanjia also looked into the distance.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

At this moment, countless figures appeared in the dungeon.

“What audacity! You even dare to kidnap the Heaven-class prisoner in the dungeon?”

A cold shout could be heard.

Cao Anmin slowly walked over from the dark tunnel.

“There’s a path to heaven, but you don’t want to take it. Hell has no door, but you throw yourself in,” Cao Anmin shouted coldly.

The dozens of dungeon guards behind him instantly surrounded the entire dungeon.

Oh no!

Jiang Sanjia frowned and exhaled heavily.

“This dungeon’s iron chain is connected to the mechanism above. As long as the iron chain is broken, it will trigger the mechanism above. Jiang Sanjia, do you really think we only want to rely on a few iron chains and the prison to trap you?”

Cao Anmin looked at Jiang Sanjia with a playful smile.

His gaze never landed on An Jing. Under the Qi restraining technique, he felt that the An Jing in front of him was too ordinary.

This was the entrance of the Heaven-class prison. If they were on the streets, he would not even look at this person.

“Although I’m currently heavily injured, you might not be able to stop me.” Jiang Sanjia said indifferently.

“Really?”

Right at this moment, a cold voice sounded from afar.

As he walked over, he was a tall and burly middle-aged man. He was bare-chested and his muscles were like dragon whiskers. His body was covered with densely packed wounds and his entire body emitted a vicious aura.

His eyes were as cold as blades and carried a hint of bloodlust.

At first glance, one would feel fear. Was this not a wild beast?

“Liu Haoping?”

Jiang Sanjia’s heart turned cold. If it was just Cao Anmin alone, he would still have a chance to take advantage of the situation. However, there was Cao Gang’s Branch Master, Liu Haoping, beside him. He would not have a last chance..
