Leng Shiqi flipped through all kinds of books and scrolls in his study for an entire night. Due to his strong spiritual power, he had a photographic memory. Therefore, he could read ten lines at a glance.
He only stopped when Ah Jin brought him breakfast the next morning.
Leng Shiqi stretched his back. Even though his body was not weak, sitting here for an entire night made him feel sore all over.
After an entire night of cramming, he finally had a basic understanding of this world.
This world was a world where spirit cultivators were prevalent. The spirit cultivator lineage had been passed down for over a hundred thousand years, and the spirit cultivation system was almost perfect.
The continent he was in was called the Falling Star Continent. The continent was vast and boundless, and there were many dynasties and spirit cultivator sects. It could be said that it was a place where heroes existed side by side.
There was a World Sect Ranking in the continent, which listed the strongest forces in the Falling Star Continent. They were:
Three Great Dynasties, Four Saint Spirit Regions, Five Extreme Sects, Six Path Demonic Regions
Seven Absolutes Under Heaven, Eight Desolate Weapon Path, Nine Great Gangs, and Ten Fang Aristocratic Families.
The Blood Cloak Pavilion was one of the top forces in the Seven Absolutes Under Heaven for their assassination techniques!
The assassins of the Blood Cloak Pavilion might not be very strong in a head-on battle, but their extremely mysterious assassination techniques made people tremble in fear!
Especially the nine Netherworld Blood Cloak Assassins under their command. Each of them was a famous expert who had assassinated one expert after another, causing people's expressions to change when they talked about them.
The Blood Cloak Pavilion was located in one of the Three Great Dynasties, Mu Chen County, one of the thirty-six counties of the Thunderfire Dynasty.
The Thunderfire Dynasty ruled over thirty-six counties. According to Leng Shiqi's understanding, the area of the Thunderfire Dynasty alone was comparable to the country of Hua Xia in his previous life.
However, there were many spirit cultivator sects in the thirty-six counties, especially those first-rate and peak forces. They could be said to have occupied a mountain and called themselves kings. They did not put the people of the dynasty in their eyes at all.
For example, the Blood Cloak Pavilion.
In Mu Chen County, the Blood Cloak Pavilion's power far surpassed the Thunderfire Dynasty. Sometimes, the words of the Blood Cloak Pavilion were even more effective than the imperial edict of the dynasty!
Other than that, Leng Shiqi also learned about some rare beasts, heavenly treasures, myths and legends, as well as the distribution of the Spirit Cultivator Sects in the Thunderblaze Dynasty.
Leng Shiqi finished his simple breakfast and couldn't help but smack his lips a few times. It had been almost two years since he had eaten real food.
Then, he entered the cultivation room and sat down cross-legged, closing his eyes to rest.
Although it had only been a little more than a day since he entered the blood-colored tower, he had experienced a lot of things and received a lot of information. He really needed to rest.
Four hours later, when it was close to noon, Leng Shiqi walked out of the cultivation room.
He took a light step forward. His body looked a little slow, but in the blink of an eye, he was already in front of the door.
This was a Rank Three Movement Technique, Floating Spirit Steps!
Great Perfection Stage Floating Spirit Steps!
Leng Shiqi pushed open the door and saw that the small courtyard today was clearly much more orderly than yesterday. Moreover, there were more colorful flowers and plants in the surroundings. Not only were they pleasing to the eye, but they also had a fragrance that made people feel relaxed and happy.
Ah Ze and Ah Jin, who were taking care of the small courtyard, saw Leng Shiqi come out and bowed, "Greetings, Lord!"
Leng Shiqi nodded casually and the two went back to their own business.
Not long after, Suluan arrived as promised. Without saying a word, she brought Leng Shiqi to the back mountain of Formless Palace.
There was a large and beautiful flower garden here. The two walked to the center of the garden before stopping.
In the center was an open space with a radius of several tens of feet. The ground was paved with bluestone and there were some deep grooves carved into it.
Leng Shiqi didn't know why Suluan brought him here. It couldn't be that she was here to enjoy the scenery, right?
Sure enough, Suluan lightly clapped her hands and the bluestone under her feet slowly moved, revealing a dark underground cave.
Unexpectedly, a person with disheveled hair and messy clothes walked out.
Leng Shiqi saw no less than several dozen wounds on his body, but that person's eyes were staring at him like a hungry wolf.
His cultivation seemed to be at the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm.
Suluan said, "Lang Qi, kill him and you can live. Moreover, you can take his place as the assassin in black."
Lang Qi's eyes faintly glowed with a green light. In the next instant, his hands turned into claws and grabbed at Leng Shiqi!
Leng Shiqi didn't expect Suluan to do this, but he didn't panic. He skillfully used his Confusion Footwork and took a step forward.
However, Leng Shiqi underestimated Lone Wolf's speed!
Lone Wolf suddenly sped up when he was halfway there. Even though Leng Shiqi used his Confusion Footwork, his clothes were still torn apart.
"Hiss!"
Leng Shiqi was startled. He raised his index and middle fingers and two invisible sword qi shot out.
He didn't have a sword in his hand, so he used his fingers as a sword!
Two rays of Unblocking Meridian sword qi shot out silently, but Lang Qi also sensed it. He twisted his body at an extremely strange angle and barely dodged one of them.
However, one of the rays of Unblocking Meridian sword qi pierced his skin and entered his back. The sword qi entered his body and sealed off two of his meridians.
Even so, Lang Qi's expression didn't change. Wisps of black smoke came out of his index finger and he stabbed out.
At this moment, a layer of black smoke appeared under Leng Shiqi's feet. His speed was clearly faster than before. At the same time, his hands turned into pitch black ghost claws. His right index finger continuously emitted spiritual energy as he pointed forward.
When this finger was pointed out, it vaguely contained the power to move mountains!
This was a rank two spiritual skill, Mountain Crushing Finger!
The Mountain Destroyer Finger collided with Lang Qi's fingertip. The spirit light from the Spirit Finger easily destroyed Lang Qi's black silk and directly pierced a bloody hole in his palm.
However, Leng Shiqi felt that something was wrong.
Sure enough, in the next moment, Lang Qi reached out and grabbed Leng Shiqi's wrist. At the same time, he pulled out a dagger from his waist and fiercely stabbed forward!
Not only that, but the black smoke that was destroyed by Leng Shiqi was now attached to the dagger.
Leng Shiqi didn't panic in the face of danger. He raised his leg and suddenly kicked out ten times like the wind. Each kick accurately hit Lang Qi's waist and sent him flying!
Rank two spiritual skill, Wind Catching Kick!
Seeing that Lang Qi was sent flying, Leng Shiqi didn't want to let him go. He slightly moved his body and activated the Floating Steps. His movements seemed slow, but was actually very fast. Before Lang Qi could react, Leng Shiqi sent out six more palm strikes, each of which carried a blazing aura.
Rank two spiritual skill, Six Yang Palms!
Lang Qi felt the blazing aura around him and twisted his body again. He dodged most of the palms, but two of them still landed on his body.
He let out a muffled groan. The dagger in his hand flew out and the black smoke quickly formed a black net.
However, Leng Shiqi lowered his body and a gray cloud appeared around him.
The black net instantly shattered the gray cloud, but Leng Shiqi was nowhere to be seen.
Lang Qi immediately felt that something was wrong. He hurriedly turned around, but a dagger had already pierced his heart!
Rank two spiritual skill, Mysterious Cloud Thrust!
Perhaps Suluan wanted to use Lang Qi to test Leng Shiqi's strength, but Leng Shiqi used him as a tool to hone his spiritual skills.
With Leng Shiqi's peak spiritual skills, he was currently invincible among those of the same rank!
Furthermore, he was only using spiritual skills that he rarely used and was hiding his true strength.
After Lang Qi fell to the ground, the bluestone tiles on the ground began to move again. A black mouth appeared and swallowed Lang Qi's corpse.
Immediately after, a series of cracking sounds came from the ground. Not long after, a stream of blood flowed out and flowed along the grooves on the ground.
Leng Shiqi looked at the flowers and felt that they were even more beautiful.
