Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

Chapter 740 - 740: The Records Of The Sage’s Page (2)

As for the exact situation, Jiang Hao was unaware.

However, this wasn’t a difficult task.

Moreover, Zhang was probably someone from the Astronomical Academy.

The people in the gathering weren’t simple at all.

“I promise to deliver this, Senior,” said Jiang Hao.

“I won’t make things difficult for you either. Tell me. What else do you need?” Gu Jin asked.

Jiang Hao looked at the person before him and fell silent.

In truth, he didn’t want anything. Last time he got the person’s name and that didn’t resolve anything.

The more things he acquired, the more trouble it might bring.

However, there was one thing he wanted to ask about.

“Senior, do you know about records from the Sage’s Book?”

“The Sage’s Book?” Gu Jin furrowed slightly. “Are those pages appearing now?”

Jiang Hao nodded. He was puzzled.

“Senior, are you worried by them appearing?” Jiang Hao asked.

“What do you think is in the Sage’s Book?” Gu Jin asked.

“Records of mantras maybe… or even history of our ancestors?” Jiang Hao said doubtfully.

Gu Jin shook his head with a sigh. “Yes and no. The appearance of the Sage’s

Book is not a good sign. Whenever it appears, it brings about a huge change.

The last time the pages appeared, they described the Heavenly Dao Foundation

Establishment Grand Earth Emperor.”

At that time, the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment had not yet appeared, but the Grand Earth Emperor emerged. The emperor suppressed many clans. He not only became the emperor but also controlled the fortunes of the world. ”

“Isn’t that a good thing?” Jiang Hao learned for the first time that the Sage’s Book documented such things.

“A good thing?” Gu Jin smiled. “Do you know what other things the Sage’s Book has recorded?”

“What?” Jiang Hao asked.

“Do you know about the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl?” Gu Jin asked.

Jiang Hao was stunned.

“It seems you do know.” Gu Jin nodded. “Yes. The Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl is also recorded on the pages of the Sage’s Book. It is said that during that era, numerous powerful clans were at war. This allowed endless massacres, so the Misfortune Pearl emerged. At that moment, all the clans ceased fighting and united to survive.” Gu Jin chuckled. “Do you still think it’s a good thing when the Sage’s Book appears?”

“If the pages document these kinds of things, why do many people seem to know about them? And why are they in the West? Is it related to the Astronomical Academy?” Jiang Hao asked.

“The Astronomical Academy has its own pages of the Sage’s Book. They were treasures left behind by the academy’s predecessors. But they’re not genuine pages from the Sage’s Book…” Gu Jin hesitated. “However, some seniors at the Astronomical Academy know the true origin of these pages. It’s not about the strength of cultivation but rather the level of understanding of their contents. And these knowledgeable individuals leave the academy to expand their own influence.”

‘The Heavenly Tower…’ Jiang Hao immediately thought of that.

The First Master was a senior of the Astronomical Academy who even entered the Abyssal Sea.

“If what you say is true, is the cultivation world going to face a disaster?” Jiang Hao asked.

“Of course not, ” Gu Jin said. “The pages of the Sage’s Book also record culinary arts, poetry, architecture, and magical artifacts. But it’s been a long time since they last appeared, which always makes people feel uneasy. And it’s hard to say who gets them…”

Jiang Hao lowered his head.

“How do these pages appear?” he asked.

Gu Jin shook his head.

Jiang Hao wasn’t sure whether he didn’t know about it or was refusing to reveal an answer.

However, he could ask Hong Yuye. She might provide some clues.

“Senior, could you tell me what happened inside the Blood Pool?” Jiang Hao changed the topic.

Gu Jin turned to look behind him. “Something inside has drawn close and has caused the Blood Pool to stir. If this influence persists, I’m unsure what consequences it will bring,” Gu Jin said with concern.

If the Blood Pool flowed outward, the consequences would be disastrous.

However, there was one thing he didn’t explicitly mention. The Blood Pool was stable now. At first, he was puzzled, but now he understood. It was because of the arrival of the person before him.

But he was still uncertain how that had happened.

Jiang Hao furrowed his brows. Something was drawing near and causing changes in the Blood Pool.

One thing was for sure. It must be the doing of the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl.

The changes began after he arrived. It might mean that the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl sensed the fragment of the Earth Extreme Heart Devouring Pearl.

As a result, it was approaching this place.

The confrontation between the Blood Pool and the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl would undoubtedly cause disastrous reactions.

Once the seal was broken, the consequences would be unimaginable.

He must find a way to stabilize the situation here.

Otherwise, the Heavenly Note Sect will be the first to suffer.

The one who would be at a disadvantage was himself.

“Are you going inside to check the situation?” Gu Jin asked.

Jiang Hao nodded.

After that, he bid farewell and left.

Gu Jin frowned. He realized that the changes here emerged after this person had arrived. But he didn’t exactly know why.

There were many secrets here, but he fell into them too early.

If the other party had visited twice, there might be a chance for a third meeting.

The more they met, the more he would guide the person towards the

Astronomical Academy. That was the only thing he could do as a scholar.

After bidding farewell to Gu Jin, Jiang Hao walked inside. He took out the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl, and the waves in the Blood Pool calmed beneath his feet.

He traveled quickly along this path.

Before long, he reached the end of the Blood Pool.

When he arrived there, he was stunned. He was afraid.

The purple energy in his body was running wildly.

It felt as if his feet would lose their power to stand upright.

At that moment, his gaze was completely occupied by an immensely huge green sphere that seemed to dominate the heavens.

It was the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl.

The pearl, which had been distant like the sun before, had approached the Blood Pool at some point. It occupied half of the sky and created an overwhelming feeling of dread.

This wasn’t just a sphere. It was a constellation.

Looking at the green sphere, Jiang Hao found himself unable to contend with it.

Such vastness and terror were beyond anything he had ever seen.

His own power was too weak. It was no wonder all things would eventually perish under it. It was also no surprise that the Senior Dan Yuan and others didn’t want it to break the seal.

“The ignorant are fearless.”

Jiang Hao had worries, but he had never been so frightened before.

He had sealed the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl. It had stayed sealed after that. That had made him think that such items weren’t very dangerous if he handled them with caution. But the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl was terrifying.

He could die at any moment.

The pearl occupied everything and was about to touch the Blood Pool. Jiang Hao didn’t know what to do.

Perhaps soon, the two sides would collide. Would the seal break then?

At that moment, he took out the fragment of the Earth Extreme Heart Devouring Pearl. For a moment, the fragment showed a reaction, as if it could break the seal at any moment.

Seeing this, he had no choice but to put it away immediately.

“So, it’s because of the Earth Extreme Heart devouring Pearl…” Jiang Hao stood rooted in place for a long time. He felt as if the huge pearl was staring at him.

“I must find a solution.”

He could only ask Hong Yuye about this matter, and time was running short.

He never expected that his casual visit would bring such trouble upon himself.

After that, he left the Blood Pool.

He appeared once again in Devil’s Den.

His eyes fell on the deeper part of Devil’s Den where the stars were reversed, and their radiance struggled to escape.

Presumably, there were even more dreadful things there.

“Perhaps the seal of the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl is there. But the Earth Extreme Heart devouring Pearl isn’t complete yet, so maybe it’s not there after all.

Jiang Hao sighed heavily. He could only leave for now.

On the way, he encountered five Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators.

It reminded him of the first time he came here.

Back then, he was only in the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm and was facing late-stage Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators.

“It’s only been a dozen years, and I’m already facing the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl.

He felt quite sentimental.

Clearly, what he wanted was neither brilliance nor fame.

However, many things happened that made him act anyway.

Unknowingly, he had already done a lot..
