Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

Jiang Hao and the two seniors watched the two people chasing each other in the sky.

They didn’t use any other techniques. They just flashed by in the sky like stars.

It was breathtaking.

Boom!

The two figures suddenly clashed.

Immediately after, the man from the Astronomical Academy fell.

With a thud, he crashed into Jiang Hao and the others.

Thankfully, the loft wasn’t damaged.

“Fellow disciples, did you lose?” Wan Xiu asked with a smile.

“Isn’t it obvious?” Si Cheng munched on some peanuts.

Jiang Hao remained silent.

The opponent was at the middle stage of Soul Ascension Realm, which was roughly equivalent to his own strength. It was best to avoid unnecessary interactions.

However, he was quite curious about how he appeared right now.

Had these two seniors seen through him?

Hong Yuye hadn’t given him any indication that she had seen through him. The young man looked at them. “Apologies… Seniors.”

He hesitated for a moment. It was probably because he noticed that one of them was at the late stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Jiang Hao understood the young man’s hesitation. He always displayed his cultivation realm at the late stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

At first, he had displayed his cultivation at the peak of Foundation establishment Realm, but Hong Yuye seemed to prefer it when he was at the late stage. So, he lowered his realm.

It was probably because Hong Yuye might have set her cultivation at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm. If he set it at the late stage, then he would be the junior and she would be the senior. He didn’t mind this arrangement.

“Your talent is not bad. Why are you so determined to be just like everyone else and cultivate the Light and Dust Technique?” Wan Xiu asked.

The young man sighed. “I think it was my arrogance. I wanted to be the one to surpass everyone else who had failed at this.”

At that point, the woman also landed in front of the loft. “Apologies for disturbing you, Seniors.”

“No problem.” Si Cheng waved his hand. “We three just happened to be sitting here. Don’t worry.”

Hua Han nodded. She was quite puzzled as she looked at Jiang Hao. She didn’t understand why someone at the late stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm was present with the other two seniors.

Then, she respectfully said, “Then, I won’t disturb you anymore.”

“Wait a moment. Since we’re here anyway, it would be stingy of us not to give you some guidance.” Wan Xiu looked at Si Cheng and Jiang Hao. “Which one of you will come with me?”

“My abilities are limited,” Jiang Hao said.

He couldn’t guide these people.

These people were in the Soul Ascension Realm and were from immortal sects. What authority did he even have to provide them with guidance?

These two might have a slightly better impression of him due to Hong Yuye’s influence.

“My abilities are also limited,” Si Cheng said.

Hua Han thought Jiang Hao was being honest, but when the other senior said the same, she was confused.

She wondered if this Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator could really provide her with some guidance.

The disciples of the Astronomical Academy remained silent.

Wan Xiu looked at Hua Han. “Alright then, you can choose one of us at random.

If they’re willing to guide you, it’s your fate. If not, then it’s not meant to be.”

Wan Xiu’s casual approach made Jiang Hao feel that the strong were often unpredictable.

It would be best to choose Senior Wan Xiu.

After all, he was the one who initiated this.

Hua Han fell silent for a moment, then she looked at Jiang Hao. Following that, her white sleeves flicked, and she whisked away the Half-Moon Blade Jiang Hao had placed at the side.

“Senior, please pardon me.”

Instantly, she activated the Myriad Dragon Travel Technique and left.

Jiang Hao was speechless. That blade had cost him three thousand spirit stones!

He hadn’t expected his saber to be snatched away.

“This kid doesn’t know her own limit.” Si Cheng sighed.

“Fellow disciple, do you want to intervene or should I?” asked Wan Xiu.

“I’ll handle it,” Jiang Hao said helplessly.

The opponent was at the early stage of the Soul Ascension Realm. Luckily, he could keep up.

Then, his cultivation changed. He was now also at the early stage of the Soul Ascension Realm. This surprised He Gu from the Astronomical Academy.

Wan Xiu and Si Cheng were not surprised. They seemed interested in seeing how Jiang Hao would retrieve the item.

Under the moonlight, a faint light radiated from Jiang Hao’s body, but it quickly became as insignificant as dust.

Soon, he vanished from his spot.

He Gu didn’t know how it was possible, but Jiang Hao seemed to be everywhere in the moonlight and nowhere at all.

He Gu felt deeply moved. He felt that he was looking at something extraordinary. Yet, he couldn’t put a finger on it.

At this moment, Si Cheng opened his mouth in astonishment, “Light and

Dust?”

“Indeed… Light and Dust.” Wan Xiu was also surprised.

They suddenly understood why Jiang Hao had asked about the Light and Dust Technique before. It turned out this was how Light and Dust was supposed to be truly used.

“To comprehend the heavens and the earth with one’s state of mind, to merge with them, and borrow power from them… Impressive! I wonder how it will be at its peak.” Wan Xiu looked at the drunk man next to him with a smile. “Weren’t you just saying you wanted to witness what true harmony with Light and Dust looks like?”

“Walking through the world while hiding among the crowd.” Su Cheng chuckled. “It is no wonder he seemed extraordinary.”

At this moment, He Gu was filled with excitement. ‘This is what Light and Dust is supposed to be like?’

Just a glance told him it was real. To be in harmony with the light and the dust at the same time…

The reason he couldn’t learn it properly was because he couldn’t enter the right state of mind.

In the next instant, Jiang Hao was back. The blade was at his side again.

Hua Han, who was still flying in the sky, felt puzzled. But when she noticed the blade was missing, she knew that Jiang Hao had already taken action.

Returning to the loft, she assumed the two seniors had done it.

However, before she could speak, He Gu suddenly bowed to Jiang Hao. “Thank you so much, Senior. It was an honor to see you do that.”

Jiang Hao didn’t know what to say. He had two movement techniques that he used. One was Demonic Sound Thousand Miles, and the other one was Light and Dust Technique.

Demonic Sound Thousand Miles was too obvious, so he had chosen to use Light and Dust.

Hua Han was astonished. She didn’t even know what had happened.

“Alright. That’s it for today.” Si Cheng waved his hand, and the two people returned to their boat.

“Fellow Disciple, what are you doing at the Bright Moon Sect?” Wan Xiu asked.

“I am here for the Dao Conference,” said Jiang Hao. “Do you know the purpose of this conference?” Wan Xiu asked.

Jiang Hao shook his head.

Being too truthful might lead to trouble.

Wan Xiu didn’t mind. He looked at the beautiful scenery below. “Don’t you feel an impulse to compose a poem at such a beautiful scene?”

‘They still don’t believe that I didn’t write that poem.’ Jiang Hao felt helpless.

Afterward, they pulled Jiang Hao onto a boat.

In the end, he still didn’t compose a poem.

They were a bit disappointed.

After that, Jiang Hao bid them farewell.

This way, they probably wouldn’t bother him anymore.

Even if they really believed that he wrote that poem, he was truly out of ideas.

“Take this with you.” Si Cheng tossed him a jade pendant. “This item will allow you to enter the Bright Moon Sect and participate in the Dao Conference.” “Thank you, Senior.” Jiang Hao was a bit surprised but still nodded in gratitude.

Then, he turned and left.

In the Eternal Traveler Inn, Chu Chuan felt restless.

He looked at the beast before him and sought its advice.. “Lord Beast, what should I do tomorrow so that Chu Jie won’t think I’m poor?”
