Chapter 1018: What Did Bi Zhu Do?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Jiang Hao did not want the Ancient Sword Cliff to be in the Divine Corpse Sect.
If it was in the Mountain Sea Sword Sect, he might have tried to enter it.
After all, he had made a deal with the Mountain Sea Sword Sect.
They were on good terms.
But the Divine Corpse Sect was out of the question. They had dealings before but…
They had fought and killed each other.
The Heavenly Note Sect had cooperated with the Divine Corpse Sect on occasions, but there was still some enmity between them.
It was just that the benefits had outweighed everything, so the two sects had begrudgingly worked together.
However, if the disciples of the Heavenly Note Sect dared to go North, they would be targeted. Entering the Divine Corpse Sect was out of the question.
If he went there, it would be like entering a tiger’s den.
“The Ancient Sword Cliff is a secret realm that every inner sect disciple of the Divine Corpse Sect must enter at every stage. It is divided into six levels that correspond to each realm…”
Jiang Hao wrote them down one by one.
Although the introduction was very detailed, there was nothing related to dragons.
In addition, the sixth level of the Ancient Sword Cliff seemed to have been explored long ago.
Jiang Hao did not care about that. For the thing that he wanted, he needed a secret technique.
But…
“The inner sect disciples of the Divine Corpse Sect can go as they please? It doesn’t seem that special or secretive. It is no wonder Senior Dan Yuan gave me an impressive lifeblood refinement technique.”
Putting away the book, Jiang Hao sighed.
He knew the location, but he still needed to find someone who would be willing to go there.
But who?
There was no one from the North in the gathering. The others knew nothing about the North.
“Maybe I should ask Zhuang Yuzhen. He might have a way…” muttered Jiang Hao.
Zhuang Yuzhen was an elder of the Divine Corpse Sect, so he knew a lot about the sect.
He would know a way to enter the Ancient Sword Cliff, he could also provide some plans.
The only problem was finding a person to go there.
After he was done, Jiang Hao closed his eyes. He could ask Hong Yuye about it tomorrow.
He needed to ask her about the four-sided beast anyway. There was also the matter with the Heavenly Extreme Dream Pearl.
Meanwhile, Bi Zhu sat up, threw her blanket aside, and got up to leave.
After a moment of hesitation, she covered herself with the blanket again.
She would think about it tomorrow.
Early the next morning, Bi Zhu walked to the courtyard.
Qiao Yi had been guarding the courtyard the whole night.
“Did you sleep well last night, Princess?” she asked.
“Not really. I kept thinking about the number one genius of the royal family last night,” Bi Zhu said helplessly.
“Princess, were you thinking about yourself?” Qiao Yi asked curiously.
Bi Zhu rested her chin on her hands. “I was thinking about the person who impersonated the number one genius of the imperial family. Doesn’t she have a spirit beast egg with her? That bothers me. I wonder what changes the egg will bring.”
“Even if it’s not ordinary, can it be compared to you?” asked Qiao Yi.
“I don’t think so. I’m the true number one genius of the imperial family,” Bi Zhu said after some thought.
It did not matter what it might be, but it surely could not match up to her.
Being the number one genius of the imperial family was no joke.
“Then, what are you so worried about, Princess?” Qiao Yi asked.
“In the future… if I tell my brothers that I’m the number one genius in the family, won’t they laugh at me?” Bi Zhu asked.
Qiao Yi did not know what to say.
“Maybe the spirit beast egg isn’t a threat to you, but could it be a threat to the royal family?” Qiao Yi asked.
“I don’t know.” Bi Zhu stood up. “I’ll get someone to ask about it. I’ll prepare some gifts for my little sister when I get back.”
After saying that, she walked out. She had been delayed for a long time. It was time to go to the Yellow River.
Princess Wen Xue sighed and walked to the ancestral hall.
She couldn’t enter it. After all, she was just an ordinary person. She was only slightly better than Bi Zhu.
However, there was one thing she could not hope to compete with Bi Zhu about.
Bi Zhu had two elder brothers. One of them was at the Return to Void Realm. They were strong contenders for the throne.
As long as those two cared for Bi Zhu, she would have nothing to worry about.
So, when she went to visit the two princes and told them that Princess Bi Zhu had requested for her to pray at the ancestral hall on her behalf, they let her enter the hall.
She felt great pressure looking at the ancestral tablets.
The imperial family had the fate of the earth, and their ancestors’ blessing could really work at times.
She knelt respectfully and explained the reason she was there.
Boom!
Suddenly, the earth shook, and the ancestral tablets shook.
For a moment, Princess Wen Xue felt terrified.
She felt her throat close up as though something was preventing her from speaking.
For an ordinary princess like her, this pressure was like a vast ocean pressing down on her.
She was afraid.
At that moment, there were too many thoughts in her mind, and she wanted to break free from the immense pressure.
Suddenly, she thought of something.
“Princess Bi Zhu sends her gratitude. Please protect her when she is outside, so she can return safely.”
Instantly, the pressure disappeared, and the vast aura surged into her body.
The memorial tablet had a faint glow as if it was satisfied.
Princess Wen Xue stood rooted to the ground. What had Bi Zhu done?
It seemed she had received the protection of the ancestors because she had prayed for Bi Zhu on her behalf.
Overseas, the waves were endless, and the water surged relentlessly.
In the blue sky, the clouds floated lazily.
Two figures approached from afar.
“Senior, where do you think the Heavenly Extreme Dream Pearl is?” Jiang Hao asked.
On the way, he told her about the gathering.
She did not seem to care much.
The matter of the Fallen Immortal Clan did not even get a reaction from her.
Therefore, there was no need to worry too much at the moment.
“Didn’t you say it was in the Heavenly Note Sect?” Hong Yuye asked calmly.
“Yes, but the river that leads to it might not really be at the Heavenly Note Sect,” said Jiang Hao. “Senior, how do you think we should enter it?”
“You want to go in?” Hong Yuye looked at Jiang Hao and smiled.
“No!” Jiang Hao hurriedly shook his head. “I just feel that the Heavenly Extreme Dream Pearl is too dangerous. If anything happens, it will affect everything, especially your flower. If there’s a way to enter, we can let the people of the immortal sect know about it and let them solve the problem.”
Hong Yuye looked at Jiang Hao carefully.
She did not say anything.
Then, he asked about the four-sided beast.
“The four-sided beasts, also known as the Four Great Monsters, are different every time they appear. Their source should be the four violent powers. Whoever falls on these sources gets transformed into the Four Great Monsters,” Hong Yuye said calmly.
“Can it be tamed?” Jiang Hao asked.
“It’s not that easy,” Hong Yuye said.
Jiang Hao nodded.
It was not easy, but it was not impossible.
There were only four of them, after all. If there were any in the South, there would be great sects that would go and suppress them immediately.
There should not be too much of a problem.
He did not need to worry so much.
After that, Jiang Hao talked about the five dragons.
Hong Yuye did not respond.
He did not think much of it.
A few days later, around early December, Jiang Hao arrived at the sea region that was ruled by Heavenly King Taomu.
The Peach Forest Island was filled with peach trees.
There were some people flying on their swords.
There was a tall building in the center.
Chi Tian sat inside the highest building and looked into the distance.
He was currently in the middle stage of the Primordial Soul Realm.
It would not take long for him to advance to the late stage.
He was not particularly talented enough to progress so fast, but Heavenly King Taomu valued him. He had made him a subordinate. That was why he was able to progress in his cultivation so fast.
“As long as I have time to myself, I can truly be free.”
He firmly believed it.
