Yaoguang Scripture!
This was a secret method scripture passed down by a Quasi-Emperor, not an Emperor Scripture secret method.
Its creator had been an exceptionally gifted woman. When she first left behind her legacy, she was still at the Great Saint Ninth Heaven.
Yaoguang Sacred Land corresponded to Yaoguang Star, also known as Pojun Star, a star that governed slaughter and suppressed the fortune of imperial dynasties.
It was also the name of Yaoguang Sacred Land's founder. She was known as Yaoguang, born in the Desolate Ancient Era. During a Dark Cataclysm, she underwent Extreme Sublimation and stepped into the Quasi-Emperor Realm. Unfortunately, she still died in battle. Before her death, she left behind this secret method legacy, hoping someone could inherit her Dao lineage.
This was the origin of this scripture. In the beginning, the Yaoguang Sacred Land founded by the Great Saint who created the Yaoguang Method should have stood here at Spirit Ruins Grotto-Heaven. Unfortunately, it was erased during the Dark Cataclysm.
As the seas turned to mulberry fields, this place became Demon Race territory once more.
Later, her legacy was preserved here all along, waiting for a fated person to inherit her mantle.
When Jiang Ming saw the ancient scroll, certain information naturally flooded into his mind. This was the innate gift of the Spiritual Stone Monkey: the Spiritual Enlightenment Heart.
So that was how it was.
That was why Weiwei later obtained the legacy here, purged Yaoguang Sacred Land's "old order," and became the Yaoguang Holy Lord. This was originally what she was meant to do after obtaining the inheritance here.
The Yaoguang Scripture's inheritance had already been effortlessly imprinted into Jiang Ming's mind through the Spirit Stone Ape's innate gift.
During the Immortal Ancient Era of Perfect World, when he had obtained the inheritance, the Spirit Stone Ape ranked first among the Four Divine Apes of Chaos because of its innate divine ability, the Spiritual Enlightenment Heart, which allowed it to easily learn any Dao Traces, precious arts, or secret methods it saw.
At dawn, around four in the morning, Jiang Ming returned to his residence. He had already memorized this complete Great Sage Scripture in its entirety.
The Yaoguang Scripture's most powerful ultimate techniques were the Sacred Light Technique and the Primal Holy Light Technique.
The Sacred Light Technique specialized in defense and speed. At mastery, it could cultivate one hundred and eight divine rings to protect the body. Whether for attack, defense, or even escape, it was incomparably formidable. Sacred light protected the body, granting Myriad Laws Immunity; sacred light shone everywhere, burning mountains and boiling seas, purifying all things; one could transform into sacred light and possess the speed of light.
The Primal Holy Light Technique specialized in attack and speed. After reaching mastery, it could transform a cultivator into a Primal Divine Light Body, not much inferior to a Divine King Body.
Empowered by Primal Unity Sacred Light, one's speed surpassed the speed of light.
Furthermore, the Primal Holy Light Technique itself possessed the qualities of evolving all methods, breaking all methods, and annihilating all methods.
Primal Unity encompassed everything and contained everything.
This showed that after the Sage who created the Holy Light Scripture reached the Great Saint Realm, she had begun to harbor ambitions toward the Imperial Dao. The underlying concepts of the methods she created were exceptionally lofty.
Jiang Ming studied it for a while and felt that he could first cultivate the Sea of Bitterness Realm. For Sea of Bitterness Realm cultivators, it was simply a matter of opening up the Sea of Bitterness, without too many complicated requirements. He could slowly accumulate his foundation with this Quasi-Emperor Method.
As for the Holy Light Scripture cultivated by the current Yaoguang Sacred Land, it was merely a Great Sage Scripture, the legacy originally left behind by Great Saint Yaoguang. Someone had survived the great calamity and established this cultivation site.
Unfortunately, when that person chose this cultivation site, he had never imagined that it was built atop the imperial tomb of one of the Ruthless Empress's lifetimes.
Of course, it was undeniably a prime feng shui location.
This caused the orthodox inheritance of the Yaoguang lineage to become mixed with the inheritance of the Ruthless Lineage.
The legacy left behind by Great Saint Yaoguang was no longer pure. It gained more intrigue and scheming, and no longer remained a Human Race sacred land.
Jiang Ming tried cultivating, opening up his Sea of Bitterness while using the Sea of Bitterness section of the Holy Light Scripture to assist his cultivation.
As Jiang Ming formed hand seals and drew upon the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the Lower Dark Moon was already close to setting.
The Lower Dark Moon rose in the eastern sky after midnight. Its bright moonlight seemed to turn into a clear spring, drawn down by mysterious Dao Patterns and enveloping Jiang Ming's cultivation cave. Strands of cool lunar essence were drawn in by him, absorbed into his body, and gathered within his Sea of Bitterness.
Yaoguang Scripture!
Whether cultivating by day or night, one could draw upon lunar essence and solar essence.
This was cultivation: gathering the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the essence of the sun and moon, and the essence of vegetation.
In truth, Han Yishui had been observing Jiang Ming's closed-door cultivation cave throughout the night. He did not know what this mysterious Western Desert monk intended by approaching his younger brother and coming to their Spirit Ruins Grotto-Heaven.
Originally, the entire night had passed peacefully without incident.
But when the fourth watch began, a phenomenon suddenly appeared between heaven and earth. It was as though the moonlight possessed life, consciously converging upon Jiang Ming's cultivation cave.
If this was not because the cultivator's cultivation had reached an unfathomable level and made him incredibly powerful,
Then it meant that the cultivator possessed a rare sacred scripture secret method.
As for an Emperor Scripture, he did not even dare think about it.
There were still quite a few great sects and sacred lands across this land that possessed sacred scriptures passed down through the ages. But Emperor Scripture secret methods could only be controlled by Desolate Ancient Families, ancient imperial dynasties, and similar powers.
To such colossal existences, he was like an ant.
Han Yishui's gaze unconsciously became deep and terrifying. He stared at the cave where Jiang Ming rested, lost in thought.
Jiang Ming did not care about any of this. A mere Spirit Ruins Grotto-Heaven truly did not warrant his attention.
At this moment, dazzling purple divine light appeared in Jiang Ming's cultivation cave. At his lower abdomen, it was as though a purple sun was being nurtured, its radiant light illuminating the entire stone chamber. Within it came sounds like raging waves crashing against the heavens and howling tornadoes.
The entire cave was dyed purple by that divine radiance. During this time, Kun Peng cries, dragon roars, and phoenix calls resounded one after another. There was even swirling purple qi, within which an Immortal Bell rose and fell.
If an outsider saw this scene, they would likely have already been left dumbstruck or cried out in alarm.
Jiang Ming himself could perceive all of it. His Sea of Bitterness Life Wheel was like a vast sky filled with swirling purple qi.
Once he formally began cultivating, endless essence and purple divine light surged within his Life Wheel. The essence had nearly become tangible, billowing forth like a purple tsunami.
This was accompanied by all kinds of strange phenomena. Or rather, they were Divine Form Dao Patterns, Divine Form Dao Patterns engraved within his origin. A White Tiger roared at the heavens, a Black Tortoise growled low, a Qilin called out, and a Phoenix cried...
This was the true Heavenly Tyrant Body. Only the corresponding Shrouding Method could awaken the traits belonging to the Heavenly Tyrant Body.
What he cultivated now was merely a Quasi-Emperor Scripture.
If it were an Emperor Scripture or imperial method, the effect would likely be even more obvious.
To Jiang Ming, the Tyrant Body Lineage's inheritance was no longer important.
He wanted to forge an invincible path of his own and restore the Tyrant Body's name.
But not for the Tyrant Body Lineage.
His wild Heavenly Tyrant Body had nothing whatsoever to do with that place.
And Jiang Ming's Life-Bound Sword soaked in the ocean of essence filled with swirling purple qi, releasing waves of sword cries that sounded like phoenix calls.
