Chapter 133 - 28: A Second Visit to the Xuanyuan Tomb (Part 2)
"Here, I found it. Take a look for yourself."
The Yellow Hermit rummaged through his belongings and pulled out a tattered, almost disintegrating book. The cover, yellowed and cracked with age, bore worm-eaten marks and six archaic characters written in bold strokes: "Lost Ancient Techniques Anthology"?
The title made it sound like some kind of miscellaneous compilation.
"This book is incredibly ancient. Legend has it that it was written by an outsider during the late period of the Sage of Six Paths. Be careful with it. Don't you dare ruin it."
The Yellow Hermit gingerly handed over the book.
The term "outsider" naturally referred to sects and practices distinct from the Ninja Creed established by the Sage of Six Paths. Over time, most of these sects had faded into the annals of history. For instance, the Jashin Cult, which Hidan once belonged to, was a typical example of such an outsider sect.
Jinghang cautiously opened the book, only to find its text convoluted, obscure, and difficult to comprehend. He had no choice but to consult the Yellow Hermit.
"Ah, such ignorance. Look here."
The Yellow Hermit pointed to a note on one of the pages.
"This part mentions the sealing technique you were affected by."
Even so, Jinghang still couldn't make sense of it and had to sheepishly ask for an explanation. The Yellow Hermit sighed deeply.
