Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

It had been a long time since he had visited.

He thought that he would never have another chance to visit.

He could ask Heavenly King Hai Luo what he thought of becoming an immortal.

After that, he wanted to ask Hong Yuye and Gu Jin some questions.

However, he still had to figure out how to deal with the Mountain Sea Merit Cauldron and the Karma Vortex.

He did not know if he would be discovered.

When he entered the Lawless Tower, Jiang Hao did not notice any other changes.

It seemed like the Lawless Tower could not suppress his problem, but it would not affect the cauldron.

On the fifth floor, Mi Lingyue looked at Yan Shang. “It seems they don’t intend to listen to your request. Do you think it’s possible that a demonic sect doesn’t keep its word?”

“I think they’re okay. Last time, they told me they’d let me go if I helped them, which I did. They did let me go. But it was another story that I got caught yet again. They seem trustworthy to a certain extent,” said the lantern bearer.

Everyone sighed. They had indeed let him go.

“What do you think?” Mi Lingyue asked Hai Luo. “Do you think this demonic sect is trustworthy?”

“Does it matter? What can they do to me anyway? I can do and say whatever I want here.” Hai Luo sneered. “Why do you think I’m still at the peak of the Primordial Spirit Realm when you all are at the early stage?”

“Because you’re hard in the mouth but soft in the heart?” asked Zhuang Yuzhang.

“Old bastard, what do you think a Heavenly King is?” Hai Luo sneered. “Even if I’m just a prisoner here, I’ll still be a Heavenly King when I get out eventually. What about you? You’re nothing!”

“Didn’t you lose your title as a Heavenly King because you refused to go back last time?” Mi Lingyue asked.

Heavenly King Hai Luo scoffed. “That’s nothing. Only idiots like you will believe that.”

Yan Shang lowered her head and ignored these people.

The Heavenly Note Sect had indeed gone back on their word.

They did not drag that guy in at all. Instead, they kept digging for information from her.

She decided that she was not going to give them anything until they kept their word.

She could wait. She had a lot of time on her hands.

At that moment, they heard footsteps.

Everyone went quiet and turned to look at the door. The footsteps sounded familiar.

Old Man Corpse Sea frowned slightly when he saw Jiang Hao.

It seemed a little strange.

Jiang Hao, who had just entered the room, was keenly aware of Old Man Corpse Sea’s strange behavior. But he did not know what it meant.

He could not have seen his condition! Otherwise, he would not look so calm. He would have reacted differently.

He went straight to the lantern bearer and handed him a peach.

“This is for you, Senior.”

The lantern bearer was surprised, but he still accepted the peach.

“Thank you, Junior Brother.”

“It’s my honor, Senior. Your lamp helped me a lot,” said Jiang Hao.

The lamp had shown its usefulness. It had gone out after a while, but even the Human Emperor’s Palace and the Xuanyuan Sword had not worked toward the end.

No matter how special the lantern bearer was, he could not be more powerful than the Human Emperor.

“Not at all. That was all you, Junior Brother,” said the lantern bearer. “Are you really allowed to bring this in?” The lantern bearer looked at the peach in his hand.

“I already informed the seniors and got their permission. It’s okay,” said Jiang Hao.

“It seems that someone is still not important enough to get food or wine.” Mi Lingyue sneered at Yan Shang.

The latter looked at her icily. Mi Lingyue did not care.

“Why are you looking at me?”

Jiang Hao ignored them and walked to Heavenly King Hai Luo.

King Hai Luo was confused. He was also a little nervous.

Mi Lingyue and the others were also very curious.

Jiang Hao carefully looked at the people on the fifth floor.

There was Zhuang Yuzhen, Heavenly King Hai Luo, Mi Lingyue, the lantern bearer, Yan Shang, and Old Man Corpse Sea.

There were six of them. Jiang Hao felt that the fifth floor had quite a lot of people this time.

“What’s the matter? I’m in a good mood today, so ask me anything you want,” said the Heavenly King Hai Luo.

Jiang Hao looked at him. “I heard that Heavenly Kings are all powerful people and are very close to immortals?”

“Naturally.” Heavenly King Hai Luo nodded.

“King Hai Luo, have you ever thought of becoming an immortal?” Jiang Hao asked.

Heavenly King Hai Luo wanted to comprehend the immortal will, but Jiang Hao did not know if he wanted to become an immortal.

“Are you specifically looking for someone?” Heavenly King Hai Luo became alert.

“Maybe… I’m just curious,” said Jiang Hao.

He often saw Mu Longyu around, so there was nothing much to it.

“Who doesn’t want to become an immortal? But it’s impossible for the Twelve Heavenly Kings to become an immortal together,” said Heavenly King Hai Luo.

“Why not?” Mi Lingyue asked.

“Because it is impossible…” Heavenly King Hai Luo sneered. “What do you think it means for the Twelve Heavenly Kings to become immortals? It means the entire sea realm will have the power of the immortals. It’s already difficult for a heavenly King to lead the sea realm, but for all twelve of them to become immortals and lead the twelve realms of the sea… Do you really think that’s possible?”

“Can’t they all work together?” asked the lantern bearer.

“No.” Old Man Corpse Sea shook his head.

“It is impossible for the Twelve Heavenly Kings to become immortals by relying on each other. They need someone stronger to open the path to immortality. To open a path for twelve kings… that’s unprecedented. To be able to do that, the person has to be extraordinarily lucky and powerful and should be willing to walk with the Twelve Heavenly Kings and lead them to immortality. Even then, there is only a slim chance. But there is no such person in this world.”

Mi Lingyue was stunned. This was the first time she had heard of such a thing. Even the Twelve Heavenly Kings might not have known about that.

“So, it’s impossible?” Zhuang Yuzhen asked.

“It has been that way forever. If it was possible, wouldn’t the former Heavenly Kings have tried it already? It can’t work because they need someone to open the path for them. That kind of person doesn’t exist,” said Old Man Corpse Sea.

Jiang Hao lowered his head in thought.

The luck of the Twelve Heavenly Kings might be able to help him, but it seemed that it was difficult for them to become immortals.

He could open up a path of immortality and lead the Twelve Heavenly Kings toward it, but he did not have such ability.

No one had been able to do it.

Jiang Hao was not foolish enough to think that he could do it when countless others had failed.

“If such a person appears, will you leave the Lawless Tower to become an immortal with the others?” Mi Lingyue asked.

“Well, if he begs me to do it, I might,” said King Hai Luo smugly.

Jiang Hao felt that King Hai Luo was tough. It was a pity he had no leverage to threaten him with anything.

Miao Anxian might have died already.

Perhaps King Hai Luo did not want to leave this place at all. Maybe he felt that there was hope of finding Miao Anxian as long as he stayed in the tower.

Jiang Hao had gone into the Abyssal Sea before. No one could survive there for long.

He had relied on the Archean Abyss Dragon Pearl to come out. The others could not do the same.

If he wanted leverage on King Hai Luo, he needed to find Miao Anxian’s whereabouts.

In the future, if he ever needed the help of the Heavenly Kings, he had to rely on King Hai Lu, and the only one he cared about was Miao Anxian.

It seemed that it was impossible for the Twelve Heavenly Kings to become immortals.

After that, Jiang Hao decided to talk to Old Man Corpse Sea.

They chatted about Ancient Sword Cliff.

Just as he passed by Yan Shang, she glared at him.

“How is it that you are fine?”

“Senior, what are you talking about? Were you expecting something to happen to me?” Jiang Hao asked.

“Do you have a high status in the sect?” Yan Shang asked.

Jiang Hao shook his head.

“It seems like your influence isn’t small, but do you think the Lawless Tower would agree if I asked for you to stay in here with me and massage my feet for three days?” Yan Sheng asked.

“Senior, why do you have to make things difficult for me?” Jiang Hao sighed.

“I heard that you have a sister. You seem to think I can’t do anything to you. Maybe I should ask for your sister.” Yan Shang smirked.

Jiang Hao felt helpless. “I have done nothing to disrespect you, Senior. So, why are you being like this?”

The others watched. They were curious about what might happen.

“Will you listen to what I say now?” Yan Shang asked.

Jiang Hao walked closer to Yan Shang and beckoned her closer.

“I can tell you something, Senior,” he said. “Maybe, after that, you’ll feel like you don’t want to make things difficult for me…”

Zhuang Yuzhen, Hai Luo, and Mi Lingyue were nervous. It was finally happening!

Jiang Hao had beckoned her to come closer.
