Chapter 451: His Name Is Jiang Feng

~8 min read 1,402 words

Hearing Jiang Yan's urgent inquiry, Jiang Feng spoke frankly.

"These characters, I saw them on the stone wall of a cave on Wangyue Mountain."

"Wangyue Mountain?"

【4. Upon hearing that, Jiang Yan's expression changed abruptly.

Jiang Yan heard the words, her face changed again abruptly.

After a moment, she furrowed her brows and let out a cold laugh.

"Mr. Jiang, are you joking with me? Wangyue Mountain is the highest peak in Chu City, its terrain steep and rarely visited..."

Speaking of this, Jiang Yan's gaze fell again on the photo of the ancient script on her phone.

"Moreover, if I'm not mistaken, these characters come from the Ancient Mongol Tribe. As far as I know, the tribe's activity range was mainly in the Northern Prairie; there have never been records of them active in Jiangnan."

She lifted her eyes and stared fixedly at Jiang Feng, full of doubt.

"So, Mr. Jiang, are you certain you really saw these characters on Wangyue Mountain?"

Without waiting for Jiang Feng's answer, Jiang Yan spoke again.

"If these characters truly belong to the Ancient Mongol Tribe, then Wangyue Mountain likely hides their relics. Could you take me there? I want to see that stone wall in person."

Upon hearing that, Jiang Feng gave a slight shake of his head.

"Sorry, Professor Jiang, that place isn't really suitable for ordinary people; it's dangerous for you."

"I want to know what is written on these characters; please tell me, Professor Jiang."

Upon hearing that, Jiang Yan instinctively glanced at Ma Jian and Duanmu Hongjie standing nearby; her lips moved but she didn't speak right away.

Ma Jian and Duanmu Hongjie are sharp; seeing Jiang Yan's look, they knew she didn't want them around.

The two exchanged a glance and promptly made up an excuse.

"Jiang Ge, since Professor Jiang needs to discuss matters with you, Hong Jie and I will step out and wait for you; call us if anything comes up."

Duanmu Hongjie also quickly echoed.

"Right, Jiang Ge, we'll leave first so we don't disturb you. Miss Jiang Yan, we'll be going now."

Joking!

They haven't had enough fun yet.

They wouldn't foolishly stay to listen to secrets they shouldn't know.

Jiang Yan nodded, saying nothing, which counted as assent.

Ma Jian and Duanmu Hongjie dared not linger; they turned and left without stopping.

After the two left, Jiang Yan pushed up her glasses, her expression turning utterly serious.

"To be frank, the Ancient Mongol Tribe's characters are obscure and hard to understand; I still can't fully translate their meaning, but I've grasped the general content."

Speaking, Jiang Yan slowly opened her mouth, her tone rather complex.

"The text records a cultivation method called the Imperial Star Contemplation Method. According to the description, when cultivated to the utmost, it allows one to shatter stars with the flesh, fly through heaven and earth, and wield power to destroy heaven and earth."

Speaking of this, Jiang Yan couldn't help but shake her head, a helpless smile touching her lips.

"However, these records are too exaggerated, so they're probably just like legends..."

Jiang Yan looked at Jiang Feng.

"As for this cultivation method, it probably has no practical significance for you; after all, such legendary things simply don't exist and cannot be cultivated successfully."

Although Jiang Yan's words were correct, when Jiang Feng heard the five words "Imperial Star Contemplation Method," his whole body jerked in shock.

"Imperial Star Contemplation Method!"

"How could he possibly not know this cultivation method!"

"This is a legendary top-tier immortal cultivation method."

"It is said that when cultivated to the extreme, one can truly achieve a fleshly body as a saint, break open the stars, and ascend to the immortal realm!"

"Even in Kunlun, this method exists only as fragmented remnants; countless cultivators dream of it, yet never find a complete version."

"Jiang Feng's master, Xuan Yuan Zhenren, before his ascension, had as one of his greatest dreams the search for a complete Imperial Star Contemplation Method; alas, in the end he failed to obtain it."

"He never imagined that he would actually discover a complete Imperial Star Contemplation Method by chance on the stone wall of a cave on Wangyue Mountain!"

"Thinking of this, even the usually composed Jiang Feng found his breathing slightly hurried."

"He never expected that merely dealing with a Gu Xuanming would yield such a great gain."

Seeing Jiang Feng's excited expression, Jiang Yan shook her head helplessly.

"Looking at your reaction, you must be a cultivator; only cultivators would believe in the existence of such so-called immortal arts."

"But I must tell you, the content recorded in these characters is entirely different from what you call cultivation; it's merely an ancient legend, a yearning for power, utterly unrealistic and impossible to cultivate successfully, so you needn't get so worked up."

Upon hearing that, Jiang Feng merely gave a light smile and did not argue with Jiang Yan.

"He knew Jiang Yan was an ordinary person who didn't believe in the existence of immortals, so arguing with her would be pointless."

"Professor Jiang, regardless of whether this method is a legend, I want to know its complete content. I only wish to ask you: would you be willing to help me fully translate these characters, rendering the entire Imperial Star Contemplation Method?"

Pausing, Jiang Feng added.

"As long as you're willing to help me, I can offer you ample remuneration."

"Jiang Feng truly does not want to miss this Imperial Star Contemplation Method; this cultivation technique would greatly aid his own practice and be of extraordinary significance to the whole of Kunlun."

Upon hearing Jiang Feng's words, Jiang Yan's face showed a hint of helplessness, yet she did not refuse.

"Having me step in to help with the translation is not impossible."

"But I have one condition."

"Professor Jiang, please tell me what the condition is; as long as I am able, I will certainly help you fulfill it, without regret."

"Jiang Feng's attitude was straightforward, without the slightest hesitation."

"To him, the Imperial Star Contemplation Method is too important; even if he agreed to many conditions from Jiang Yan, he wouldn't mind."

Seeing Jiang Feng so decisive, Jiang Yan was instead stunned.

She looked at Jiang Feng, her eyes full of doubt.

"Aren't you curious what I want you to do? Even if my condition is something you absolutely cannot do, would you still agree?"

Jiang Feng waved his hand.

"I, Jiang Feng, keep my word; since I've agreed, I won't regret it."

"How about this, Professor Jiang? We'll first exchange contact information, and once you've translated the full content of the Emperor Star Observatory's ideas, contact me anytime."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yan, for the first time, began to look seriously at Jiang Feng and slowly spoke.

"No wonder Ma Jian and Duanmu Hongjie treat you so differently, showing respect everywhere; it seems you are even more unfathomable than I imagined."

"Don't worry, I will study these characters as soon as possible and translate the complete content of the Emperor Star Observatory's ideas."

"Alright, then I'll trouble you, Professor Jiang."

Jiang Feng nodded, a hint of a smile appearing on his face.

Afterwards, the two took out their phones and exchanged contact information.

Afterwards, Jiang Feng did not linger any longer, turned and left.

Meanwhile, Jiang Yan watched Jiang Feng's retreating back, frowning thoughtfully.

"Jiang Feng... that name, I feel like I've heard it somewhere..."

She thought for a long time but still couldn't recall where she had heard that name, so she simply shook her head and stopped thinking about it.

Afterwards she picked up her phone again, carefully examining those photos of ancient script, her gaze becoming focused once more.

However, after only a few minutes, Jiang Yan put down her phone, her face showing a solemn expression.

She got up, walked to the corner of the laboratory, picked up an encrypted phone on the desk, and made a call.

The phone rang a few times and was quickly answered.

From the other end came an aged and solemn male voice.

"Hey, Yan Yan, why did you suddenly call me?"

Jiang Yan took a deep breath, her tone becoming extremely solemn.

"Teacher, someone brought some ancient Mongol tribe's ancient script to me, asking me to help translate it."

She paused, then Jiang Yan added.

"Oh right, he said his name is Jiang Feng."
