Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

Chapter 1053: The Power of the Royal Family’s Number One Genius

Jiang Hao had been waiting. If it had not happened fast enough, he would have contacted Senior Dan Yuan to start a gathering on his behalf.

The Heavenly Extreme Dream Pearl was right before him. He could not delay any longer.

He had to go in even if it was for himself and no one else.

He did not want to die.

The sudden appearance of the Heavenly Extreme Dream Pearl was related to the surroundings somehow.

He had nowhere to hide.

He only hoped that the immortal sects would make a move.

If there was no other way, he would try to escape.

In the end, he had no choice but to enter the Corpse Realm.

He just did not know if that place could avoid this “new world” the Heavenly Extreme Dream Pearl was trying to create.

The new world was like a net that could seep through anywhere.

This gathering was extremely important to him.

When he entered the gathering, Senior Dan Yuan was nowhere to be found.

He wondered what he was busy with.

Fortunately, everyone else was there.

Gui spoke first.

“I have news. Those two seniors said they left something behind and can attack at any time. But they said they could only assist. If no one takes action from the inside, their preparations won’t do much.”

She then looked at the others.

“They plan to repair the Human Emperor’s Palace. The two of them used great divine powers to draw upon the power of the stars. It seems like they want to make the Human Emperor’s Palace more powerful. According to what they said, if we want to suppress the Heavenly Extreme Dream Pearl, we’ll need the Human Emperor’s Palace,” she said. “What about you guys?”

“The people from the immortal sect have already gone over, but it’s too late. However, I heard that the people of the Bright Moon Sect are already involved. I don’t know all the details, though. I heard that there are Clear Sky School’s people in the South, and they might also make a move soon. I’m not sure about the exact situation. It’s said that an expert just happened to go to the Sage’s Heart to become an immortal. Someone has already informed him,” Liu said.

Star thought for a moment and said, “I don’t have any more information on my side, but I can be sure that The End of All Things will not interfere. They have spied on the location of the Ancient Land in the deep sea. Right now, everyone is looking for someone who disappeared long ago. Perhaps it won’t be long before that person appears. The people of the Great Thousand God Sect have headed to the South. It is said that they have two objectives. One is to find a lantern bearer, and the other is to find a location for the battlefield. Maybe we could get them to cooperate.”

Other than The End of All Things, nobody else wanted the world to end and everyone to die.

Fortunately, there were not many organizations like The End of All Things, or else, it would be very troublesome.

It was said that there were many such forces in the past, but as time passed, they all joined The End of All Things.

Jiang Hao heaved a sigh of relief.

The people from the immortal sects were going to make a move. The Bright Moon Sect was already there. They were probably the two people Gui had mentioned.

Si Cheng was an expert from the Bright Moon Sect.

It was a good thing that he was there.

At the very least, they could help delay things. There was a huge gap in strength between just the two of them and the others combined.

The world needed people in the immortal sects.

If there was any danger, the immortal sects could always be counted on.

The demonic sects were not very big on sacrifice and helping others.

It was precisely because of this that Jiang Hao was willing to give the dragon egg to Xuanyuan Tai just to borrow the Xuanyuan Sword.

Whether it was the dragon egg or the Xuanyuan sword, they were both necessary for Xuanyuan Tai’s growth.

He would face everything to save this land. What he lacked was strength.

Coincidentally, Jiang Hao could help. So, he did.

One person did not have to covet everything. Powerful things should be distributed to help everyone.

It was good to know the immortal sects were willing to help, but the situation did not look good.

If someone from The End of All Things intervened, no one would be a match for Si Cheng and Wan Xiu.

“How are you doing, friend Jing?” asked Gui.

The others also looked at him.

He was waiting for Gui to ask.

Jiang Hao was silent for a moment. “I might enter the lake. According to the records of the Human Emperor’s Palace, the suppression method was in the depths, so I might have to go.”

Everyone was shocked but not surprised.

No one knew what would happen if he went in.

“Friend Jing, are you sure?” asked Liu.

Jiang Hao lowered his head and did not answer the question.

Everyone understood. He was confident.

“Will there be any strange phenomena once you enter?” Gui asked.

If there was any progress, and he needed help, the two people with her could help him.

Jiang Hao was silent for a while. “The Human Emperor’s Palace.”

Everyone was surprised.

He was certain that the Human Emperor’s Palace was very important.

Gui understood that the two seniors had entered the depths and must have known more about the situation.

Therefore, the methods that they had prepared to strengthen the Human Emperor’s Palace must have something to do with the palace itself and the general situation at present.

“If it’s not near the Human Emperor’s Palace, how will we know?” Liu asked.

Gui had met people in the Human Emperor’s Palace, but they were in the South at the moment, so she did not know much.

“Fireworks!” Gui said. “If I sense that the Human Emperor’s Palace is changing and needs help, all the big cities in the South will let loose some fireworks. That’ll be the signal.”

Jiang Hao was shocked. He did not know Gui had such influence in the South.

The South was so big. How would Gui manage that?

Jiang Hao could only think of one possibility. Everything had been prepared in advance.

The only thing left was for Gui to give a signal.

Gui’s influence and strength were unquestionable.

After that, they talked about other details.

The gathering ended.

When he came out, Jiang Hao looked up at the starry sky. He did not want to enter the new world.

That place must be extraordinary.

If he went in, he might not be able to return.

He found Senior Brother Zheng who was keeping watch and sat down beside him.

“Junior Brother Jiang, aren’t you going to rest?” Zheng Shijiu asked.

“Yes.” Jiang Hao nodded. “Senior Brother Zheng, you’re as kind as ever.”

“What are you talking about, Junior Brother Jiang? Compared to you, I’m really just ordinary,” Nineteen Shijiu said with a smile.

At that moment, he was roasting a chicken at the bonfire. After a while, he tore off half of it and gave it to Jiang Hao.

The latter gladly accepted it and took a bite.

Zheng Shijiu was surprised. He did not say anything and started eating.

“It’s not that delicious,” Jiang Hao said.

Zheng Nineteen laughed. “The way you were eating, I thought you found it irresistible.”

Jiang Hao looked at the lake. “We have to continue retreating tomorrow.”

“Will we be blamed for leaving?” Zheng Shijiu asked.

“Maybe,” said Jiang Hao. “But this place isn’t safe anymore.”

In the days to come, the lake will erupt and expand further.

Zheng Nineteen nodded without hesitation.

“Also, I’m going to the lake tomorrow. You guys keep an eye on the lake. If something happens, retreat immediately. There might be a lot of changes after this,” Jiang Hao said.

He did not plan to use closed-door cultivation as an excuse.

“You want to find those people who went in?” Zheng Shijiu asked.

Jiang Hao nodded without explaining further.

He could say he was going to find those people who went inside.
