The secret passage was winding and deep. Walking underground made it difficult to discern direction; even Jiang Han had taken several wrong turns and had to constantly correct himself before he finally found the secret chamber where Yang Dingtian had secluded himself in life.
He pushed open the heavy stone door, carefully holding up a torch as he moved forward, his heart filled with vigilance. He dared not let his guard down, wary of Cheng Kun's lingering treachery, fearing that he might suddenly jump out to ambush him or use past arrangements to plot against him.
As he drew closer, he finally saw clearly. On the ground lay two skeletons, their clothing still intact enough to easily distinguish that they were a man and a woman. By examining the fabric, Jiang Han quickly confirmed that these two skeletons were indeed his adoptive father, Yang Dingtian, and his wife.
Taking a deep breath, he approached the skeleton of Yang Dingtian and carefully pulled a sheepskin scroll from the hand that had long since turned to bone. He knew this was the scroll that recorded the Manichaeism's foundational cultivation method, "Transference of Heaven and Earth," which was also the only Heavenly Tier Martial Arts text passed down for hundreds of years in Manichaeism.
"Congratulations on completing the sign-in. Reward: 80% proficiency in the Heavenly Tier Cultivation Method 'Transference of Heaven and Earth'!"
As expected, the moment Jiang Han touched the scroll of Qian Kun Da Nuo Yi, he heard the long-awaited mechanical voice of the system in his mind. Countless small Sanskrit characters began to glow in his consciousness, and the cultivation insights related to "Transference of Heaven and Earth" seemed to flow into him all at once, making him feel as if he were immersed in a sea of Vital Energy.
"Transference of Heaven and Earth" is divided into seven levels, and with each level mastered, one's internal strength doubles.
"No wonder Adoptive Father was able to reach the sixth level of 'Transference of Heaven and Earth' back in the day, allowing him to engage with a master at the Innate Ninth Level Realm without defeat, retreating calmly! 'Transference of Heaven and Earth' truly is an extraordinary skill!"
Jiang Han thought to himself, yet his aura suddenly surged, rising like crashing waves against the shore, relentlessly attacking the bottleneck of his cultivation Realm.
"What is a Grandmaster?" Jiang Han sat cross-legged, merging his spirit with the heavens and his body with the earth, entering a state of forgetting both himself and the world in an instant.
If outsiders were to witness such a scene, they would likely be unable to contain their astonishment!
"Heaven and Earth are one!"
This is a privilege reserved for the few monstrous talents who achieve enlightenment!
Mediocre individuals, no matter how hard they study martial arts throughout their lives, find it difficult to gain even a hint of favor from the heavens. Unlike those favored by the way of heaven, "when the time comes, heaven and earth lend their strength!"
After about the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, Jiang Han sensed that he was on the verge of grasping the Grandmaster Realm; he could open the door to becoming a Martial Arts Grandmaster whenever he wished.
He thought this way and acted accordingly. Just as he gathered all his energy in a final push to break through to the Grandmaster Realm, a windstorm suddenly erupted in the entire secret chamber, as if celebrating the imminent birth of a Martial Arts Grandmaster.
Outside the secret chamber, the winding and twisting hidden passage was also filled with Vital Energy, stirring up gusts of wind that howled incessantly.
"Martial Arts Grandmaster Realm, break for me!"
With a furious shout from Jiang Han, the internal energy he had accumulated reached its peak and quickly transformed into true essence. The Dragon and Tiger within him converged, and a crisp sound erupted from his Dantian, like an eggshell cracking as a chick struggles to break free.
"Martial Arts Grandmaster has been achieved, and Transference of Heaven and Earth has also reached great success!" Jiang Han exclaimed excitedly as he stood up and threw a punch into the empty space of the secret chamber. Instantly, the entire chamber rumbled, startling him into retracting his fist.
He certainly did not want to collapse the hidden passage and bury himself here, making a fool of himself.
"The Innate Realm and Grandmaster Realm are indeed not comparable."
Jiang Han calmed his true essence and carefully sensed the differences between the Martial Arts Grandmaster Realm and the Innate Realm.
He could clearly feel that the true essence unique to the Martial Arts Grandmaster was of far superior quality compared to the mixed internal energy. Even when he practiced the heavenly-level secret manual "Nine Yang True Classic" earlier, he could not refine his internal energy to the level of true essence.
In other words, his current strength had increased more than tenfold compared to before his breakthrough!
Now, with just a casual move, he could easily defeat his former self!
"No wonder there are so few Martial Arts Grandmasters in the world; you truly get what you pay for," Jiang Han muttered to himself.
He tucked the sheepskin scroll containing the Transference of Heaven and Earth Cultivation Method into his clothes. He didn't want to leave this precious manual behind; if Cheng Kun found it and spread it around to deal with the disciples of Manichaeism, his unintentional loss would essentially become aiding the enemy.
After securing the manual, he gathered the remains of Yang Dingtian and his wife, and picked up the letter that was originally meant for his Foster Mother from his Adoptive Father's remains.
He didn't read the contents of the letter; instead, he took out a map of secret passages and set the letter ablaze with a fire stick, burning it for his Foster Mother below, hoping she would know and find peace in the afterlife.
Jiang Han knelt three times and bowed nine times, fulfilling his last duties as a son before saying, "Adoptive Father, rest assured. I will definitely retrieve our sacred artifact, the Holy Fire Token. As for the forces led by the Six Major Sects in the Central Plains Martial Arts World, I will soon settle accounts with them one by one! Manichaeism will surely enter a new era of prosperity under my leadership!"
