Chapter 1207: You Want Me To Follow You For Twenty Years? (2)
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“We’re only at the Primordial Spirit Realm and the Soul Ascension Realm to understand it,” said Qiao Yi and left with Bi Zhu.
Lan Qian frowned. She did not understand what she meant.
She thought for a moment and decided to retrace her steps.
A day later, she arrived at Broken Cliff Valley.
When she arrived, she smelled something putrid.
When she got close, her eyes narrowed.
She saw that the once beautiful valley was now filled with stinking corpses, which emitted a strong aura of death.
Some cultivators nearby were searching around.
“What happened here?” Lan Qian asked the cultivators.
The question from a powerful cultivator frightened some of them.
One of them said, “This is the source of a disaster. Someone broke through here last month and caused the source inside to perish, so we are now searching for opportunities here.”
‘Source of a disaster… last month?’ Lan Qian was surprised.
“The source of this disaster is extremely powerful. Some strong cultivators who came here couldn’t eliminate it,” another cultivator said.
Lan Qian could not believe it, but she continued to the previous location.
The next place was also filled with a terrifying aura.
However, the danger inside had been eliminated around the same time they had visited.
After that, she spent more than ten days visiting the places they had visited before.
It turned out that every place they had visited was extraordinary.
“The Golden Core Realm experts…”
She understood why those three men had been addressed as “Seniors” even when Qiao Yi had been at the Primordial Spirit Realm, and they had been only at the Golden Core Realm.
She also understood why Bi Zhu had claimed she could not compare to them when it came to cultivation realms.
The three men who had seemed to be at the Golden Core Realm were experts beyond her imagination.
“So… those Golden Core Realm experts are this dangerous…”
She noticed the changes in her body again.
It had not been a sudden change. These people had been helping her along.
She could not believe such powerful individuals were so magnanimous.
At the end of October, Gu Changsheng finally arrived.
Without hesitation, Bi Zhu asked what sincerity meant to him.
Gu Changsheng was surprised. “An eighteen-year-old girl is naïve and innocent. Isn’t that sincere enough?”
“Senior, that’s not what I meant.”
Bi Zhu immediately told him about her encounter with the Golden Core Realm experts.
Gu Changsheng was silent for a moment. “When you were mischievous, you were called ‘kind.’ So, if they say you’re not sincere enough… Do they mean you weren’t malicious enough? In simple terms, you’re too weak. You need to become stronger as soon as possible.”
Bi Zhu sighed. What did that have to do with her good fortune?
She had been working hard every day.
She even had to go back and meet the little princess of the royal family first.
It had been so many years. She must have grown up by now.
…
He had gained an understanding of the black Dragon’s situation. As for Lin Zhi’s matter, it was all settled.
Jiang Hao did not have much to worry about.
There were only a few things he needed to do.
So, he continued to apply the Mountain Sea Seal on the Mountain Sea Merit Cauldron.
The sect had also followed his intentions and entered a period of recuperation.
Nothing happened, and everything was going smoothly for him.
He worked from sunrise to sunset.
As the days passed, spring turned into autumn.
Jiang Hao felt that he had lost track of time. Every day, he would only go back and forth between the Spirit Herb Garden and his courtyard.
Two years passed just like that.
During this period, Jiang Hao attended two gatherings, but they did not bring about significant changes.
The only unexpected thing was that a strong individual from Clear Sky School had intervened and suppressed the Fallen Immortal Clan.
The Fallen Immortal Clan had no choice but to withdraw.
As a result, Jiang Hao had more time on his hands.
Although he did not know who the person was, they had indeed helped him.
He would thank them if he had the chance in the future.
Seeing that it was almost time, Jiang Hao went overseas.
He needed to clean the treasures in the warehouse.
Six months later, around early May, Jiang Hao returned.
He looked at his interface.
[Name: Jiang Hao]
[Age: 53]
[Cultivation: Ninth Stage of the Immortal Ascension Platform]
[Cultivation Method: Heavenly Sound Hundred Revolutions, Hong Meng Heart Sutra]
[Divine Ability: Nine Revolutions Death Substitution (unique), Daily Appraisal, Clear and Pure Heart, Reappearance of Hidden Spirit, Divine Might, Revival of Withered Tree, Heavenly Cauldron, Indestructible Vajra, Myriad Nature Forest]
[Lifeblood: 100/100 (can be cultivated)]
[Cultivation: 100/100 (can be cultivated)]
[Divine Abilities: 1/3 (cannot be obtained)]
“Unknowingly, I’m already fifty-three… I’m middle-aged now…”
Jiang Hao sighed.
He had not done much in the past two years.
Hong Yuye had visited three times.
The September Spring was finished.
He had sold them to accept more tasks from the Task Hall.
He had to think of a way to buy more of it because he wanted to invite Hong Yuye to go with him overseas to meet the Red Dragon.
Liu had sent a message on the stone tablet. There was a person who waited at the place where Jiang Hao had left a message.
There was a chance that this was the person Jiang Hao was looking for.
“It seems that everything is almost ready.”
He had already learned the array formation and applied enough of the Mountain Sea Seal on the Mountain Sea Merit Cauldron.
His status showed that he still had twenty-three years left.
Three years had passed, and only one year had been deducted.
In other words, his injuries had brought him more than a year.
That should be enough.
He had spent two years studying formations and over two years applying the Mountain Sea Seal on the cauldron.
He was almost ready to set off.
He had to make some arrangements before leaving.
He wanted to meet Gu Jin, visit the Lawless Tower, and give some instructions to Cheng Chou and the others.
In addition, he needed to inform the gathering that he would be traveling and might not be able to be present in the next few gatherings.
He would say he was doing it to improve his mental state and temper his body.
He had to do all these things, or else ascending to Immortality would easily fail.
Normally, he could just improve his cultivation realm, but things were different this time.
He did not plan to use the luck of the Twelve Heavenly Kings or rely on anything else.
Maybe he would end up using all the merit before he could improve, and then would be sucked into the Karma Vortex to his death.
He still remembered that feeling. He was not the luckiest person alive.
Sitting under the Immortal Peach Tree, Jiang Hao looked at the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower and sighed deeply.
Once he left, he would not be able to take care of the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower.
Without that flower, he would not have become who he was at that moment.
This flower had helped him a great deal.
Although it had also embroiled him in endless storms, its benefits could not be ignored.
“What are you sighing about?” asked a voice.
Hong Yuye slowly appeared.
Jiang Hao hurriedly stood up and bowed. “Greetings, Senior. It’s just that I have to go out for a while, and I feel reluctant to part with your flower.”
“You’re leaving?” Hong Yuye asked.
“Yes. I’ve decided to go overseas to find the information that you need, Senior,” Jiang Hao said seriously.
Hong Yuye chuckled. “You’re so thoughtful. How long do you plan to spend on this trip?”
“At least twenty years…” Jiang Hao trailed off. “I’ll try my best to return as soon as possible, Senior.”
Hong Yuye looked at him teasingly. “It seems you’ve happened upon quite a significant clue this time.”
“Yes.” Jiang Hao nodded and hesitated. “Senior, do you want to go with me? Perhaps we can meet the Red Dragon together. There’s news that the Red Dragon might also be overseas.”
He wanted to go to the overseas region alone if he could.
But he did not know if the Fallen Immortal Clan would appear, and the South was also in chaos. He did not know if his cultivation realm was strong enough to reach overseas.
If he had Hong Yuye by his side, things might go a little smoother.
He had no choice.
“Twenty years? You want me to follow you for twenty years?” Hong Yuye asked.
Jiang Hao lowered his head. That indeed sounded a little ridiculous.
“What do you have to offer me?” Hong Yuye stared at him.
“Senior, what do you need?” Jiang Hao asked.
“How many things do you owe me by now?” Hong Yuye asked.
“Three?” Jiang Hao was not sure.
“Add two more, then I might consider it.” She smiled.
Jiang Hao did not hesitate and bowed his head in agreement.
“If twenty years isn’t enough, I’ll take five more things from you. Do you have any objections?” Hong Yuye asked seriously.
“No,” Jiang Hao said respectfully.
Twenty years should be enough.
“When are we leaving?” Hong Yuye asked.
“We have to make preparations first,” Jiang Hao said.
He needed a few more months to make arrangements before they could leave.
In addition, he had to wait for a gathering.
It might happen soon.
Hong Yuye did not say anything. She gestured for Jiang Hao to make some tea.
This time, he only had a pack of tea that was worth 250 spirit stones.
Hong Yuye stared at him.
Faced with such a gaze, Jiang Hao could only brace himself and continue brewing the tea.
It couldn’t be helped. There was no September Spring anymore.
He had also sold the tea that had cost him five hundred spirit stones per pack.
The only thing left was the 250-spirit stones worth of tea.
It made him feel a little embarrassed.
Hong Yuye sneered.
