Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

“Go ahead and leave the rest to me. But do you have a way to get the Corpse God Sect to the East?”

Qu Zhong took the envelope in disbelief. Did this person have a way to make them help his sect? How could it be possible?

If the person in front of him was really so amazing, why would he come to find him?

“I do have a way to convince the seniors of the sect, but…” Qu Zhong looked at him. “Senior, what do you want in return?”

Jiang Hao did not know what he wanted.

He wanted to send him to the East first, and he needed someone to get something from the Winter of Heaven in the East.

Xing was overseas. But he could not ask him to visit the Winter of Heaven in the East and deliver the item here.

“Just go first. Someone will find you later,” Jiang Hao said.

As long as they headed to the Bright Moon Sect, he would be able to find them.

After he said that, Jiang Hao disappeared.

In a trance, Qu Zhong felt the surrounding space distort.

He looked at the table next to him. The two fellow disciples who had disappeared earlier were still sitting there.

They suddenly realized that Qu Zhong was on his feet beside them.

They were puzzled.

What kind of method did that person use?

…

Jiang Hao returned to his house.

The method he had used was not that extraordinary.

It was just that as his cultivation realm had become stronger, his control over spiritual energy and his state of mind had become better. He had naturally learned this technique from that.

Even if his control was just average, it could be enhanced with the help of divine abilities.

As for the letter, it mentioned that the one with the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment was heading North.

The information would probably be reported to Xing. Maybe it would not do much for the Divine Corpse Sect.

He needed something to convince the Divine Corpse Sect to head to the East.

Jiang Hao wanted to become an immortal, but he also wanted to understand the matters of the Dragon Clan.

Of course, he could also try to obtain the dragon’s inheritance.

From the Human Emperor’s Sword Technique, he could tell that although these inheritances did not need to be learned, they had a certain power.

Of course, he thoroughly appraised it.

Although there were doubts, it would be used for the moment.

After everything was settled, it was time to visit Xuanyuan Tai.

He was just waiting for Cheng Chou to advance.

Jiang Hao sighed.

Junior Brother Cheng was hardworking and had a good temperament.

However, without much experience, his path would be fraught with difficulties even if he ended up becoming a Golden Core Realm cultivator.

The sect mission that was held once every two to three years was not of much use to him.

Jiang Hao could teach him a lot, but he could not teach him the things he had learned about combat. It was based on instinct.

“What are you thinking about?” asked a voice suddenly.

Jiang Hao hurriedly stood up and turned around.

It was Hong Yuye.

It had been many months since they last saw each other.

“Greetings, Senior.” Jiang Hao bowed.

She smiled. “Has your cultivation improved?”

“Yes. Thanks to your blessing, Senior, I’ve improved a little. It’s not that impossible for me to reach the Primordial Spirit Realm in a few years,” said Jiang Hao.

“How old are you?” Hong Yuye sat under the peach tree.

“Forty-five.” Jiang Hao did not feel like answering that question.

He was already forty-five years old. He was not young anymore.

He had become a middle-aged man.

Time really did not wait for anyone.

“Forty-five years old and about to advance to the Primordial Spirit Realm…” Hong Yuye gestured to Jiang Hao to brew some tea.

Jiang Hao smiled and took out a pack of Spring September.

He had enough tea leaves at the moment.

It was the best time to sell September Spring because of its scarcity.

He could sell it for more than twenty thousand spirit stones for one pack at the moment. In about four to five years, it would be back in stock, and he might only be able to sell it for about ten thousand spirit stones.

Hong Yuye was surprised when she saw September Spring. “Looks like you managed to get some good tea, after all. Were you hiding it before?”

“Senior, you must be joking. This is the tea that I obtained after narrowly escaping death. This shows my sincerest respect to you,” said Jiang Hao.

“Oh?” Hong Yuye smiled. “It seems you have done your best to get the tea this time.”

“I don’t dare take matters related to you lightly, Senior,” he said.

“Is that so?” Hong Yuye smiled. “Did you find Feng Hua yet? Is there any clue about the origin of the Archean Abyss Dragon Pearl? Do you have any idea who is the mastermind behind the stone tablets?”

“I found some clues,” Jiang Hao said.

“Oh?” Hong Yuye frowned in surprise. “What clues are these?”

“I met someone in the Lawless Tower. I might be able to find Feng Hua through her, but I need some time. Although the origin of the Archean Abyss Dragon Pearl is still unknown, there is news about the Dragon Clan. I have… convinced the core person of The End of All Things to temporarily postpone his return so that the Dragon Clan can return first. They seemed to be in the Ancient Lands.”

“The stone tablets seem to be related to The End of All Things. One of the Heavenly Kings, King Taomu, seems to be connected to this. I have figured out a way to get in touch with him to ask him about the mastermind behind the stone tablets,” he continued.

Hong Yuye looked at him. “You are really wasting your talents helping me.”

Jiang Hao lowered his head. He did not understand what she meant.

“Was there a gathering recently?” Hong Yuye asked.

“Yes.” Jiang Hao nodded.

He took out the notebook and handed it to her.

Then, he began to explain everything that had happened in the gathering.

When he talked about the female Heavenly King, Hong Yuye asked who it was.

Jiang Hao shook his head. He did not know the details.

Moreover, it seemed to be just a rumor. Maybe the truth was different.

As expected, this was the only thing that Hong Yuye seemed interested in.

After that, he told her about the second gathering which had happened.

This time, he mentioned the reason for the chaos in the North and told her that other places might fall into chaos soon.

He wanted to ask her if it was true.

How chaotic would the South be?

“The Mountain Sea Merit Cauldron has suppressed too many things for numerous years. Naturally, there might be problems coming up as it has disappeared,” she said and looked at Jiang Hao. “Do you still remember what you said about becoming an immortal? If at that time, you happen to encounter an outbreak from all sides and your luck is shaken, it will also be a test for you.”

Jiang Hao was stunned. He felt a bit stressed about it all.

However, he was planning to advance overseas. Logically, that region was the last place that would be enveloped in chaos.

If the overseas region was stable when he became an immortal, it would be great.

Twenty-six years…

It would take more than twenty years for the chaos to reach overseas, but Hai Luo might drag him down.

“Is there a solution?” Jiang Hao asked.

“It’s hard to say. It depends on luck,” Hong Yuye said.

Luck…

The thing that Jiang Hao could not rely on was luck.

“Is there another way?” Jiang Hao asked.

“You haven’t reached the Primordial Spirit Realm yet, but you’re very concerned about people who want to become immortals,” Hong Yuye said with a smile that was not quite a smile.

“I’m just preparing ahead. If there’s a chance to become an immortal in the future, I want to try. That way, I’ll be of more use to you, Senior,” he said politely.

“You’re really thoughtful.” Hong Yuye pursed her lips. “Have you heard of the Desolate Sea Pearl?”

“Is it similar to the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl?” Jiang Hao asked.

Hong Yuye shook her head. “Of course not. The Desolate Sea Pearl is similar to the Mountain Sea Merit Cauldron. This was a pearl born in the deep sea and is much older than the Mountain Sea Merit Cauldron. It used to be the symbol of power, and it protected the endless sea. As time passed, it became even more powerful. It’s still limited to the sea realm and can’t be compared to the Mountain Sea Merit Cauldron. Even so, it shouldn’t be difficult to replace the Mountain Sea Merit Cauldron with something similar.”

To be able to replace the cauldron with the pearl might give him a few more years. But he felt that using it in this way was wasteful.

If it remained in the sea realm and helped him become an immortal, that would be great.

He just did not know if it would help him become an immortal.

He asked about it but Hong Yuye just shook her head.

He did not know if she meant it was impossible or if she did not know that it could work.

After that, Jiang Hao talked about the Grand Earth Emperor.

“You want to go to the Blackheaven Sect?” Hong Yuye asked.

“Yes.” Jiang Hao nodded.

He had to get the eggshell.

“Let’s go then.” Hong Yuye put down her teacup.

‘Huh?!’ Jiang Hao was surprised.

“Now?” he asked.

“You don’t want to?” Hong Yuye asked.

“Of course, I want to, Senior.” Jiang Hao did not dare refuse.

But…

He had not drunk the tea yet. It would be a waste to leave it.

When he walked out of the courtyard, he realized that the spirit beast was hanging from the eaves of the roof. It was unconscious.

If he left now, the tea would disappear.

The spirit beast and Xiao Li would drink it sneakily.

The tea in that cup was worth more than twenty thousand spirit stones.

It would be gone just like that…

Jiang Hao sighed.

However, he did not know why Hong Yuye was so anxious to head right away to the Blackheaven Sect.

Did she want to see the dragon, the Grand Earth Emperor, or the Xuanyuan Sword?

At the Blackheaven Sect, a woman walked along the mountain path.

‘The Blackheaven Sect isn’t that difficult to enter.’ Hu Yuexin smiled to herself.

Once she entered, she would leave a mark on someone to avoid being discovered.

There should not be another Smiling San Sheng in the Blackheaven Sect.

No one would be able to discover her puppets like last time.

As for the Grand Earth Emperor…

“It’s indeed a little difficult to get in touch with him, especially since he has a dragon by his side. However, it’ll take me only a few days. I just need to prepare a bit more.”

She was very cautious, but she would definitely not delay if she needed to make a move.
