Chapter 2: Striking It Rich

As soon as Jing Yan's thoughts stirred, he immediately understood everything. His realm began to decline, indeed because it was after he obtained this Qiankun Ring from his grandfather Jing Tian. It was just that Jing Yan had never doubted that a ring could absorb his vital energy, so he had never considered the Qiankun Ring as the cause.

Upon hearing the sound, Jing Yan's entire body trembled, and his face turned pale.

Because Jing Yan never expected that there was actually another person in his room, and he did not even know when this person had entered his room

At this moment, Jing Yan was completely unaware of what the pale yellow light enveloping his entire body was. However, despite feeling a slight panic, Jing Yan was still able to remain calm, as so far, the pale yellow light had not caused any harm to his body, except for consuming and absorbing the vital energy he had activated.

In almost an instant, Jing Yan's entire body was drenched in sweat. When this terrifying energy surged into Jing Yan's mind, a heart-wrenching pain ensued, as if it were about to tear his head apart. That kind of suffering seemed to originate from the depths of his soul, something that an ordinary human could not endure.

What?

As for my background..." Tianshui pointed to the ring worn on Jingyan's hand

Upon discovering this, Jingyan truly felt a slight sense of panic. What people fear the most is often that which is unknown

Then ... ...

Now listening to what this person from Tianshui said, it seems that it is precisely because he has opened the seal of the Qiankun Ring that the pale yellow halo appeared on the Qiankun Ring just now

Jing Yan, with a swift turn, quietly inhaled a breath, exerting all his effort to calm his emotions.

So, how did this person get in

"Is it because of this ring that my realm continues to decline?" Jing Yan, who was originally very intelligent, immediately thought of the reason for the inexplicable drop in his realm, and he looked angrily at Tian Shui

Haha, little one, you have indeed struck it rich. However, this was also destined to happen; the seal of the Qiankun Ring is not something that just anyone can unlock, as it requires meeting extremely complex conditions. Without delving into that, you only need to know that you have struck it rich.

In fact, I am now left with only a wisp of my soul, and my soul has always remained within this Universe Ring. Speaking of which, it is thanks to you, little one, for breaking the seal of the Universe Ring; otherwise, I would still be in a deep slumber without knowing when I would awaken. Ah, the air of the outside world is truly refreshing; I, an old man, will be able to come out here often to breathe in the fresh air in the future. " Tianshui said slowly, his expression invigorated.

" Tianshui said slowly, his expression invigorated.

What is going on

However, when Jingyan wanted to clearly perceive this part of his memory, he felt somewhat dazed, as if the event had occurred a long time ago, resulting in a somewhat vague and not entirely vivid recollection

When Jing Yan initially received the Qiankun Ring from his grandfather Jing Tian, he had a sense that this ring was extraordinary. However, he never imagined that it was a sealed ring

Who are you?" Jing Yan looked at the white-haired old man, not recognizing him. It seemed that there was no such elder in his family's memory.

Swish

"Hehe, do not be nervous, little one, I mean you no harm," said the white-haired old man with a smile. "My name is Tianshui; you may call me Tianshui or Senior. I do not mind how you address me."

As Jing Yan turned around, he saw an elderly man with white hair, smiling at him with a gaze fixed upon him

Jing Yan felt a tightness in his heart, and he hurriedly urged his vital energy to protect himself. Although his realm had been continuously declining, he still possessed the cultivation of the third level of martial arts at this moment, and his vital energy was still quite formidable. However, when Jing Yan tried to channel his vital energy to the surface of his body, he discovered that his vital energy was actually being devoured by a milky yellow light.

However, this pain comes quickly and goes just as swiftly. In less than the time it takes to breathe, the pain dissipates like a tide, vanishing without a trace in the blink of an eye

Jing Yan glanced at his room, and at that moment, the milky yellow glow emanating from the Qiankun Ring also vanished, as if it had never appeared.

Just as Jing Yan was contemplating what to do, a terrifying surge of energy suddenly crashed into his mind.

The additional thoughts that arise in one's mind should also be attributed to the influence of the Qiankun Ring

What is this? How did it enter my mind?" Jing Yan's eyes widened.

Boom

Jing Yan can ascertain one thing, which is that the door and windows of his room have never been opened. Jing Yan's current state has fallen significantly, but if someone were to enter his room, they would have to open the door or the windows. Once the door or windows are opened, he Jing Yan would definitely not be unaware.

If it weren't for this damned ring constantly absorbing my vital energy, how could I have fallen in rank, and how could I have been expelled from the Divine Wind Academy? The predicament I find myself in today is entirely due to this ring

The Supreme Divine Skill of the Firmament

Jing Yan felt somewhat uncertain about whether what he had just seen and experienced was real, but this doubt was soon dispelled by what he discovered in his mind.

Have I developed an illusion

Indeed, it was you who unlocked the seal of the Qiankun Ring. To open the seal, it is necessary to absorb some energy. During this period, you have continuously infused vitality into the Qiankun Ring, and only today have you managed to open the seal said Tianshui, squinting his eyes

It is important to note that Jing Yan had previously entered the innate realm, where his five senses were quite powerful. To make him unaware in his presence is certainly not something an ordinary martial artist could achieve

While speaking, Jing Yan secretly attempted to assess the strength of the white-haired old man, but he gained no insights. This implies that either the white-haired old man is an ordinary person, or he has reached a very high level of cultivation, making it impossible for Jing Yan to detect his true capabilities

"Striking it rich?" Jing Yan's expression turned serious as he rolled his eyes, "I currently only possess the cultivation of the third level of martial arts, and you actually say that I am striking it rich?"

"Indeed, little one, it seems your comprehension ability is quite good. At your current level, you are able to grasp a portion of it." At this moment, a voice came from behind Jing Yan.

In the portion of memories that Jing Yan has mastered, he discovered these few characters

Although the details of this part of the memory cannot be clearly seen, Jingyan has grasped a portion of it in a vague manner

The additional elements in his mind seemed like a part of memory; however, this part of the memory, Jing Yan could ascertain, absolutely did not belong to him. Yet, at present, this part of the memory appeared to have already merged with his own memories

Even Jingyan bit his teeth so hard that they made a cracking sound, and his lips were bitten until they bled

I have opened the seal of the Qiankun Ring?" Jing Yan was slightly taken aback
