Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

Chapter 1255: Demoness: It’s Too Hot (2)

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Hong Yuye was calm and indifferent.

Jiang Hao did not dare to say anything else. He just waited quietly.

He soaked the September Spring in some hot water.

He lacked everything except September Spring.

“So, have you found out who’s behind this?” Hong Yuye asked after the tea was ready.

Jiang Hao remembered that this was something that Hong Yuye had asked him to investigate.

But…

Even if he dared, he did not think he could find out anything.

The mastermind behind the stone tablet was obscure.

Several times, he had encountered The End of All Things, but he had not asked about it.

He was worried.

In the past, there were clear reasons for his worries. This time, he felt a little lost.

He did not know what he was worried about.

Was he worried that if he found the answer to her question, he would be killed because he no longer Had any value? Or was he worried that he would venture into endless uncertainties? Or was it because the person behind these stone tablets was too formidable, he was afraid to face them?

The first question was the one he had always considered fearfully. But they had spent so much time together that he felt strange about it.

Perhaps she might not dispose of him after all they had been through.

However, his rationality told him that strong and powerful people were always unpredictable. If he assumed he was safe, he might not recover from whatever happened.

That was why he was confused.

But he found a way to solve this confusion.

He had to become stronger.

If he became stronger than anyone else in this world, his problems would solve themselves.

Many thoughts flashed into his mind.

Jiang Hao said softly, “Soon. Now that I have built a friendship with the Twelve Heavenly Kings, I should be able to find out more.”

That was indeed the case, but he did not intend to ask them.

It was useless to get an answer from them.

He would try to appraise the stone tablet and strengthen the seal.

He had to prepare to face the problems brought about by the Great Era.

If he found out the truth about the stone tablet, he might offend the existence behind it.

It was not a wise move.

After the Great Era, who could be sure if Hong Yuye could withstand it?

There must be many experts spying on the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower.

The Heavenly Note Sect was not in a good situation either.

Hong Yuye chuckled but did not say anything.

He only looked at the stars in the sky.

“Senior, do you think that the Heavenly Note Sect will undergo major changes with the arrival of the Great Era?” Jiang Hao asked.

“This is your sect. Shouldn’t you be asking yourself that question?” Hong Yuye looked at Jiang Hao.

“From the looks of it, the Heavenly Note Sect would be in extreme danger.” Jiang Hao said.

“Are you planning to escape?” she asked. “Which immortal sect are you going to?”

Jiang Hao shook his head. “I’m not planning to escape. I’m just curious whether the Heavenly Sound Sect can survive under such circumstances.”

Hong Yuye thought for a moment and said, “It’ll be difficult.”

Jiang Hao lowered his head.

It seemed that with the arrival of the Great Era, he would not be able to relax.

If the Heavenly Note Sect could not survive it, he would have to leave.

Which place would accept him? Astronomical Academy?

Perhaps that was the best place for him.

He could go in as Gu Jin.

But then, life would not be as free and peaceful.

Jiang Hao could only strive to become stronger as soon as possible so that he could fight back.

“What do you think of the nights in the Heavenly Note Sect?” Hong Yuye suddenly asked.

Jiang Hao looked up. The sky was like a sea of stars. They shone for miles and miles.

“Very beautiful,” Jiang Hao said.

Hong Yuye did not say anything else. Jiang Hao looked up at the sky quietly until it was already dawn.

Hong Yuye stood up. “The sun is about to rise.”

“Yes.” Jiang Hao stood up as well.

The two of them walked by the river to see the sunrise.

“Is the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower growing well?” Hong Yuye asked.

“Very well.” Jiang Hao nodded.

Hong Yuye smiled. “You don’t seem to be worried.”

“Not quite,” he said.

“How long has it been since you’ve been taking care of my flower?” she asked.

Jiang Hao did not know how to answer that.

“How many of the Seven Forms of Heavenly Blade have you learned so far?”

“Five forms. The rest are too difficult.”

“The Great Era is about to arrive. You can use it to comprehend the sword technique.”

“Can someone like me have such an opportunity?”

“You’re not an immortal, so it’s naturally impossible for you to cultivate, but you can still comprehend it.” Hong Yuye chuckled.

“Will the others be able to do it as well?” Jiang Hao asked.

“Yes. With the Great Era on the brink, there’ll be indiscriminate opportunities. At that time, cultivation will definitely benefit, although not as much as immortals, there will still be benefits. With the arrival of the Great Era, all living beings will indiscriminately gain benefits from it,” said Hong Yuye.

Jiang Hao sighed with emotion. This Great Era had really brought life to the world.

However, countless experts would be born at the same time.

They would fight to be the center of such an extraordinary world.

He did not even know the name of the sixth form of the Heavenly Blade. He had not picked up that book in a long time.

He had been paying attention to becoming an immortal, so he had neglected his reading.

“How are you going to pay back what you owe the Grand Earth Emperor?” Hong Yuye asked.

“Senior, what do you think the Grand Earth Emperor needs right now?” Jiang Hao asked.

He did not know what the Grand Earth Emperor needed.

If the one with the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment wanted to become a person with great luck, then what about the Grand Earth Emperor?

He had resources and legacies. He had a dragon of his own too.

What was he lacking?

“Earth Vein,” Hong Yuye said.

“How do I obtain it?” Jiang Hao asked in surprise.

“Ask the Holy Master. He should know,” Hong Yuye said.

Jiang Hao made a mental note of it. When the people from the Mountain Sea Sword Sect arrived, he would seek out the Holy Master.

Perhaps he could get an answer.

If he obtained the Earth Vein, he would not owe the Grand Earth Emperor anymore.

Hong Yuye stopped by the river. She stepped back a little and looked at Jiang Hao. “Stand in front of me.”

He was surprised. He did not understand what she wanted to do, but he did as he was told. He stood in front of her.

At that moment, the river was behind him, and Hong Yuye was in front.

“Is it cold in August?” Hong Yuye asked.

“It’s not that cold,” Jiang Hao said.

“It’s actually a little hot,” Hong Yuye said as she placed her hand on Jiang Hao’s chest. “It’s too hot. You haven’t felt cool and refreshed in a long time.”

Jiang Hao was puzzled. She then exerted a little force.

He flew backward. He could not withstand it.

He had become an immortal, yet there was nothing he could do.

Jiang Hao fell into the river. He sank slowly.

He looked at the red and white figure by the river. She just looked at him without moving.

Jiang Hao sank to the bottom of the river.

When he looked at the shore again, the figure was long gone.

However, he could not move.

The coolness of the water pierced through his skin. It surprised and relaxed Jiang Hao.

He suddenly felt tired.

For decades, he had been living under the shadow of death. He had then faced the immense pressure of becoming an immortal.

Even after he had become an immortal, he still felt stressed.

He was always worried that even as an immortal, he had no power. He was afraid that he would be in danger in the future.

He had always remained on high alert and never felt relaxed in his life.

Jiang Hao slowly closed his eyes and gave in to the calm.

At that moment, the immortal energy in his body flowed with force. It was as though a dam had broken and the wave of power surged in his body.

Without any obstacles, the power flowed smoothly.

After an unknown period of time, the flood of immortal energy formed a cycle.

In an instant, Jiang Hao felt something loosen and disappear.

He did not know what had happened or how much time had passed.

Jiang Hao slowly opened his eyes.

His body had completed the last step of tempering. Immortal energy flowed in his eyes.

He was at the early stage of the True Immortal Realm.

Jiang Hao opened his eyes and looked at the water in a daze.

True Immortal Realm!

He had thought that it would take two years for him to advance to that realm, but when he relaxed his mind and body, it happened almost instantly.

It seemed that he was the one who had held himself back in the end.

If it was not for Hong Yuye, he might have had to wait for two more years.

At that moment, a white mass swam past him.

The white mass floating on the water also stared ahead with wide eyes.

“Master? Are you here to swim too?” asked the spirit beast.

The beast had not spoken. The message was transmitted telepathically.

Jiang Hao ignored it and floated up.

The water on his body dried up as soon as he got out of the river.

He stood by the riverbank.

“Master, haven’t you learned how to swim yet?” The spirit beast jumped in front of Jiang Hao.

“Where’s Lin Zhi?” Jiang Hao asked.

“On an outer sect’s mission.”

“Let’s go see him,” Jiang Hao said.

With the arrival of the Great Era, Lin Zhi and Chu Chuan would both soar in their cultivation and strength.

It was not impossible for them to compete for opportunities and beyond.
