Chapter 526

/*unedited*/

Thousands of years ago, a young man went on an adventure along with a few of his friends. They entered a newly discovered ruin. They were excited and were driven by their common goal to be strong and also have their names recorded in the annals of history as heroes. 

However, what they found inside that ruin is nothing but death and misery. One by one, the young man's companions died while trying to escape the unknown evil deep within that ruins. Until such time that there are only him and his best friend that was left in their group. The two have survived until this time and have been fighting together through life and death.

The young man thought that their brotherly bond is thicker than blood. But he was proven wrong.

When the two reached a portion of the ruin they encountered a strange fluctuation in the air. That fluctuation has a severe influence on them that they are unable to walk closer to it.

But of course, the two of them knew that they just found a great treasure. Hence the two of them persevere and push through, until such a time that they are able to enter a huge chamber. The two saw four figures facing each other and in the middle is a circular crystal object.

However, the problem is, the closer they got to that area, the stronger the power of the fluctuation is.

The young man wanted to go back as he could not hold on anymore. However, his friend didn't listen and continue pushing through.

"I already grasp the timing. The attack is coming in intervals of 20 seconds. We have enough time to come closer, just follow me." His friend said with a confident smile.

As he trusted his friend, the two decided to take the chance.

They both waited and waited. Then after the strong pressure eruption stopped, they both dashed towards the inner chamber. But it seems that they have underestimated the pressure. The young man was a bit taken aback and wanted to retreat, but his friend suddenly grabs his hand and said.

"Sorry…"

That one word struck the young man dumbfounded as he saw himself being flung towards the inner chamber. He then discovers the true strength of his friend.

In fact, with his friend's true strength their other companions should not have died in the ruins. But due to some sinister plot, they were sacrificed.

He was truly angered at this however, he could not think anymore as his body suddenly felt the strong pressure crashing on his mind. The young man found himself losing consciousness.

But the last thing he saw is his friend using him as a shield, and suddenly dashing towards the large block of a stone slab with intricate carve images on it. Then suddenly, when his friend touches the stone slab it suddenly shines, but before he can observe more his consciousness has already faded.

The next moment, he woke up; he was already near the entrance of the ruin. And on his side is a book, when he read the book he was a bit shocked.

On the cover of the leather-bound book, a word was carved, Blood Syphon.

The young man was a bit stunned, but then he found a note inserted in the front page.

'… My friend, I am sorry. I have been looking for this path for a long time. I may have been selfish and sacrificed our other friends, but I cannot let you die here. I may be cruel, but this is the only way for me to reach the immortal plane, this is my mission… This book I left you is an immortal technique. Once you have reached the world nascent realm, find someone that is like me and give him this book… they will help you get to where I am. Good luck my friend.' those were the words written by his friend. 

The young man was angry at that time and wanted to throw the book away, but realized something. He can have his revenge for his fallen friends if he can reach where that despicable bastard is. So he decided to go back and learn from the book.

And years later, the young man discovers the profundity of the book, and soon understands why his friend tricked them into going to the ruin.

After telling the story, Master Jing looks at Shin Jiao who is listening on the side.

He then showed a bit of confusion in his expression. This is not due to the old man's story or the betrayal. But this is because, from the way the old man describes the ruin, his mind suddenly showed a location which is very familiar to him, the dragon's ridge.

"As you can see… I have learned that taking revenge would be good, but now I can already understand the trouble of my long lost friend. Hence I will ask you, young man. Will you help this old man find his answers… I promise to not skimp on the reward." The old man said sincerely.

Shin Jiao thought for a bit, but then his eyes lit up. If he can help this old guy find that gate, then he can ask for his help in finding Susan Tang. It's a win-win trade, right?

"Senior I wanted to discuss something with you. I am willing to help you with your troubles, but I wanted to find someone first in the sect. After I found my friend then I will help the senior in your request." Shin Jiao said.

"Haha… It's a deal then." the old man said while chuckling.

He didn't expect that the young man is easy to talk to. Since he has reached this age, the old man can already almost read people. When he saw the young man, he knew that he is someone who would yield upon understanding the situation and not through coercion or force.

Hence he decided to tell his story.

"Take this, and learn from it. It is the key to opening that portal." The old man said as he waved his hand and a leather-bound book flew out towards Shin Jiao.

Upon catching the book, Shin Jiao noticed the front cover.

"Blood Syphon…" Shin Jiao muttered with an astounded look on his face.

"Senior… this…"

"Read it, I think you can uncover something deeper and can help with your cultivation style. This is because I think my friend cultivates the same style as yours." The old man said as he opens the barrier.

"Senior… I… I wanted to find my friend…"

"I already know… rest assured, I won't interfere with your business. I will visit you tomorrow at… farewell." The old man said.

Then suddenly Shin Jiao found his surroundings becoming a blur and then he is now outside, in the courtyard.

Two people, a young man, and a young woman are already standing behind him.

"This little friend, please follow me…" the young man said.

Shin Jiao turn around and just nodded his head. He already hid the book in his ring at this moment and followed the two.

"The sect leader has already instructed us on what to do. I just can't believe that you have caught the eyes of the sect leader." The young man said with a tone of flattery in his voice.

"Humph… taking short cuts is not that admirable." However, a beautiful voice interrupted the young man.

Shin Jiao saw the beautiful young woman beside the young man sneering at him. She is looking at Shin Jiao with disdain in her eyes.

"Senior Yiying, what are you saying… Hehe… Sorry, little brother. Senior sister Yiying is just a bit of an eccentric…"

"Stop talking nonsense Bijiao… let's get this over with… I still have a lot of things to do." The woman named Yiying said with an annoyed frown on her beautiful face.

Although the woman seems unruly, her reaction is natural, hence Shin Jiao didn't mind it. He just followed the two towards a room where there are some disciples already inside.

"This is the outer disciple lodge… until you have proven yourself in the sect, you will stay here for the meantime." The young woman said in an icy tone.

After saying that, she just turns around and left.

"Hehe… Sorry for that brother. She is not that bad once you came to know her. She is just a bit grumpy nowadays. Anyway, here are some of the things you should know about the sect. I'll be leaving then.�� The young man said as he handed Shin Jiao a piece of paper and a bag.

Shin Jiao read the paper for a while and began checking the bag. He found some sect robe, a book, and some pill bottles.

Although those are lower grade pills, yet for a sect, it is already enough for a gold core realm cultivator.

Shin Jiao took out the robe and put it on.

He then checked himself and was satisfied with his looks. He now looks like an outer sect disciple of the Blood Moon sect just like the rest inside that lodge.

When he scanned the entire building, he found around 500 people idling about as if waiting for something.

Then suddenly, he heard a voice entering his mind calling for all the new students to go to the main hall of the sect. Without a second thought, Shin Jiao followed. He would first scout the area, and then make his move according to what he can find.

Hence he obediently followed the rest of the new outer sect disciples walking towards the main hall of the sect.

Shin Jiao began spreading his absolute sense in his surrounding trying to search for clues.
