245 Hundred Tribulations Sacred Body (1)

When Jiang Ming suddenly heard this, he could not help but be stunned.

In his imagination, this was perhaps some unknown immortal cultivator who had come from some other mysterious place and walked on the starlit path at the same time as him, thus causing them to cross paths.

He did not expect the old man to say such shocking words.

“Sir, could it be that you’ve guessed wrong? Perhaps this black sword is a standard weapon, and there are many of them?” Jiang Ming probed.

“Absolutely not!” The mysterious old man shook his head slightly and said, “There’s only one black sword, and it has a terrifying origin. There can’t be a second one. I can also feel its aura from you. Although it seemed to be very weak in your era, its aura is indeed the same.”

Jiang Ming glanced at the black sword in the old man’s hand. It was simple and unadorned. However, the body of the sword was stained with golden blood and filled with brilliant light. He did not know what kind of terrifying opponent it had killed. Just by staring at the blood, Jiang Ming could feel the exuberant essence coming from it. It was as if he was observing a vast ocean, which seemed to contain endless runes of the great cultivation.

On the black sword, a cold light circulated. It exuded a cold and murderous aura.

Jiang Ming was silent. He sighed in his heart. “If there is really only one black sword, it seems that we are not from the same era. This is much more powerful than the crazy chatterbox that was chasing me.”

He could not help but think of the dozens of battles he had experienced. Those opponents seemed to have lived in other eras, and each of them was a ruthless person who could fight against the heavenly tribulation.

Jiang Ming even recalled that several of his opponents seemed to have broken through some kind of boundary at the last moment and cast a glance at him.

“It seems that this mysterious starlit path is indeed unusual.”

At that time, he thought it was an illusion. Now that he saw this old man, Jiang Ming suddenly suspected that the memories of those powerful people who had passed the heavenly tribulation before might not have just been simple memories of the past. They must also be different people in different space and time intersections!

“If there really is someone who has successfully passed the heavenly tribulation, would he have been able to live to this day?” Jiang Ming suddenly had a thought.

His emotions were difficult to understand.

The two starlit paths intertwined in the void, reflecting a magnificent and gorgeous brilliance. At this moment, the two people on the starlit path were somewhat silent, as if they were both thinking about something.

A moment later, the old man suddenly sighed.

“And you can see me in the starlit path, which actually already means that you and I don’t live in the same era because no one can see the real me in my world,” he said faintly. Although his words contained a strong sense of confidence, there was also an indescribable loneliness in them. It was as if he was the only one left in the world.

Jiang Ming opened his mouth. However, he did not know what to say.

He thought of the old man’s constant muttering. Had the old man’s world already been destroyed?

Since they could communicate, Jiang Ming hesitated for a moment and asked his own question, “What exactly do those words you’ve been saying mean? Why did all the opponents I met on the starlit path mention them?”

Jiang Ming was startled and suddenly realized that although the two of them were both walking on starlit paths, perhaps their reasons and even the things they saw were completely different.

“I was drawn into a faint light that connected the earth and the sky. Then I came to this starlit path, and then I defeated several powerful opponents. Only then did I walk in front of you! They seemed to be like you, coming from different intersections in time and space. They mentioned these four words during the battles. However, I could not communicate with them.” What Jiang Ming said was the truth. However, he did not tell the whole truth.

It might be a little ridiculous to say that he had defeated dozens of those opponents.

“A faint light that connects the earth and the sky?” The old man’s eyes lit up. “Are you sure?”

Jiang Ming observed the old man’s expression and nodded slightly. He thought to himself, “It seems that this faint light is indeed rare.”

Out of the dozens of opponents he had fought with, none of them had ever reached this point.

“Good! So, there really is someone who has reached this step!” The mysterious old man’s eyes, which were filled with hesitation and confusion, seemed to be burning at this moment as he looked forward.

“That’s the remnant light after the real heavenly tribulation. I’ve been searching for it for thousands of years. However, I’ve never really seen it. It’s true!” The mysterious old man’s eyes were burning. “It seems that in your era, there really was someone who truly passed the heavenly tribulation and escaped from these reincarnations!”

Jiang Ming shook his head. “There’s a strange place buried deep beneath the ground where the remnant light appeared. It seems to have been buried for tens of thousands of years, or even longer.”

The mysterious old man was stunned. He then shook his head and said, “No matter what, since someone has come this far, it means that this path has not been broken. I can also walk this path.”

Then, he looked at Jiang Ming and sized him up. He said, “Everything should still be normal in your era.”
