Chapter 1572: Chapter 1339 Jiang Hao: My success rate in fighting above my level is 90%_2
When Jiang Hao arrived, Little Wang opened his mouth but made no sound.
Yi also didn’t cry out.
As Jiang Hao approached, the two of them bowed their heads and dared not even breathe.
Once inside, it was just small girl and him, staring eye to eye.
After a few symbolic words, Jiang Hao asked them to leave.
To avoid mentioning the matter of spirit stones.
He indeed had no spirit stones left now.
He had picked up some overseas before, but unfortunately, he had spent quite a bit on tea leaves, and both the spirit beast and small girl had taken some from him too.
Now he had only 367,459 pieces left.
He had saved them for decades.
Perhaps no other Heavenly Immortal was as poor as him.
Small girl ran off with a sad look, clutching an Immortal Peach Tree.
Jiang Hao didn’t care much.
He glanced at his own stat panel.
[Name: Jiang Hao]
[Age: One hundred and ten]
[Cultivation: Late-stage Heavenly Immortal]
[Cultivation Methods: Heavenly Sound Hundred Revolutions, Hong Meng Heart Sutra]
[Divine Might: Nine Revolutions Death Substitution (Unique), Daily Appraisal, Clear and Pure Heart, Reappearance of the Hidden Spirit, Divine Might, The Revival of Withered Tree, Heavenly Cauldron, Indestructible Vajra, Myriad Nature Forest]
[Lifeblood: 56/100 (can cultivate)]
[Cultivation: 63/100 (can cultivate]
[Divine Might: 2/3 (cannot be obtained)]
“I won’t be far from Heavenly Immortal Perfection soon,” he thought.
Over the years, he mostly relied on bubbles gained from Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower, occasionally unable to obtain it when going out.
Mining was no longer effective, and growing spirit herbs was completely out of the question.
Fortunately, his enlightenment was going smoothly and hadn’t affected his promotion.
However, he wasn’t sure if he would fail when trying to ascend to True Immortal.
The requirement for becoming a True Immortal was for one’s understanding of the Dao to be recognized by the supreme path.
“I wonder if I am up to it,” he thought.
Without dwelling on it, Jiang Hao decided that, a few years after Han Ming left, he would start challenging the tenth top disciple.
Manlong still held the tenth position.
Over the years, Manlong had been working hard and might advance to the late-stage of Return to Void in a few more years.
He had to challenge him before that advancement.
That way, his chances of winning would be higher and not too outrageous.
Although it might draw some attention, there shouldn’t be any problems.
His strength was not inferior, capable of killing enemy ranks above his own.
As a Heavenly Immortal at perfection, his chances of defeating an enemy from Return to Void were over ninety percent.
On the third day after Han Ming left,
Jiang Hao intended to go out and find his master.
He wanted to discuss his plan to challenge the top disciple and then start the challenge after some years.
But before he could leave, someone from Heavenly Note Sect arrived.
“Senior,” Jiang Hao said somewhat unexpectedly.
“Are you going out?” asked Heavenly Note Sect.
“I’m going to see Master for a bit,” Jiang Hao paused, then spoke again:
“Junior thinks his strength is almost sufficient, it’s time to prepare to challenge for the top disciple.”
“Challenge for the top disciple?” Heavenly Note Sect was slightly surprised, “Aren’t you afraid that you are being too ostentatious?”
“A bit, but I should still do it; after all, becoming the top disciple grants quite a few spirit stones,” Jiang Hao replied earnestly.
Heavenly Note Sect gazed at the person before him and fell silent.
After a pause, he spoke, “I have never seen you covet the sect’s resources before.”
“Hmm, I was younger back then,” Jiang Hao nodded and said.
Then the two of them walked outside.
“Becoming the top disciple, are you sure you can confirm whether your Sect Master is dead?” Heavenly Note Sect asked.
“Senior jests, it’s likely that I won’t see the Sect Master,” Jiang Hao pondered and then added:
“If the Sect Master has passed away, it’ll be even less likely that I see him.
“If not deceased, it’s also hard to determine her condition.
“Junior, being in the Return to Void Realm, dares not probe an immortal.”
“Do you think it’s likely that she has died?”
“Quite likely, there’s been no news since the grand era,” Jiang Hao replied.
Heavenly Note Sect nodded slightly without asking further.
“It is said that the Immortal Clan has already begun to expand their territories, their ultimate goal being to establish the Supreme Immortal Court,” Jiang Hao queried curiously on the way:
“I wonder if they will succeed.”
“The chances are high,” replied Heavenly Note Sect.
“Have they already gathered the necessary items?” Jiang Hao inquired.
Heavenly Note Sect shook his head.
He didn’t say anything else.
As they talked a lot on the way, when Jiang Hao came to Senior Brother Zheng’s yard, Heavenly Note Sect had disappeared.
Jiang Hao stood at the door and respectfully said, “Disciple Jiang Hao requests to see Master.”
“Come in,” a voice soon came through.
After entering, Jiang Hao saw Senior Brother Zheng sitting alone in the courtyard, seemingly sighing.
“Master,” Jiang Hao performed the greeting ritual.
“You aren’t thinking about going out for field experience, are you?” Senior Brother Zheng looked at Jiang Hao.
Hearing this, Jiang Hao was stunned for a moment before shaking his head and saying, “Master worries too much, I do not enjoy trials.”
“True, you just want to hide in the Spirit Herb Garden.” Ku Wu Chang shook his head and sighed bitterly:
“What are you planning? Don’t bring up that little Yi’s matter anymore, if you want to keep her, then keep her.”
Little Yi was too slow, slow to the point that even the master noticed.
After all, she was always following behind Small Girl.
It would be strange if the master didn’t pay attention to her.
But paying attention to her was a shock.
This was probably a fool.
He initially thought she was just a companion to Small Girl, but later discovered she was an actual outer sect disciple, brought back by Jiang Hao himself.
Then Jiang Hao came forward, pleading.
After so many years, he still thought he was coming to plead again.
“It’s not about Little Yi,” Jiang Hao shook his head.
“No harm in Ice Spirit Clan’s matter either, now that she is an inner disciple, true inheritances are impossible,” Ku Wu Chang said.
Ice Spirit Clan had ascended to become immortal, last year’s affair.
It had a huge impact.
Jiang Hao was responsible for it.
That’s why he asked the master to accept disciples.
A Human Emperor recruiting another Human Emperor, Ku Wu Chang was unwilling.
Moreover, considering the other’s astonishingly high innate talents, he feared it wouldn’t take long before he was inferior to his disciple.
Yet, he finally agreed.
At that moment, he felt that any time a disciple approached him, it was never for anything good.
The great era had indeed brought changes.
He felt as if he was aging.
Jiang Hao sighed and went straight to the subject, “Disciple has come to inquire about the Senior Brother Zheng’s matter.”
Ku Wu Chang looked at Jiang Hao, his voice deep, “Senior Brother’s matter?”
“Disciple will be promoted to the peak of the Return to Void Realm in a few years and should be able to challenge for the tenth Senior Brother,” Jiang Hao said earnestly:
“I wanted to discuss it with Master before the challenge.”
Ku Wu Chang stood up and said, “Are you confident?”
“Forty percent,” Jiang Hao replied.
“That’s quite high,” Ku Wu Chang nodded and said, “As for the challenge, your master can handle it for you, what you need to watch out for, how to choose the location, Senior Brother Bai Yi will inform you in a few days.”
“Do you have any doubts about your cultivation now?”
Jiang Hao shook his head, “Not at the moment, but it would be best if Master could pass down some saber techniques.”
“Saber techniques?” Ku Wu Chang paused for a moment and said, “There is one, but I have never learned it.”
As he spoke, he took out an ancient book and handed it over.
Jiang Hao took it and was rather surprised when he looked at the name.
The title consisted of five words—Draw Saber Slash Heaven Technique.
“The content is complete, but whether you can comprehend it shortly, I do not know.
“As for the power, it should not be lacking,” Ku Wu Chang said.
Jiang Hao was quite grateful and said, “Thank you, Master.”
This saber technique was indeed good.
But it could not truly slash the heavens.
Even the Moon-Slaying Saber Technique could not slash the heavens; this one probably could not either.
After a brief look, it was potent.
Leaving the master, Jiang Hao returned to his residence, sat outside the courtyard, and began to comprehend the Draw Saber Slash Heaven Technique.
After finishing the book, Jiang Hao closed his eyes, feeling the almost imperceptible sword’s intent within his body.
The Draw Saber Slash Heaven Technique, which involved focusing the body’s strength into a saber, combining sword’s intent into a sufficiently powerful saber.
This could unleash formidable strength.
However, Jiang Hao tried it and could not call upon the saber condensed by the Great Overarching Heaven.
But he could still harness some sword’s intent.
The core of this technique was how to combine the sword’s intents.
The less the rejection, the stronger the sword’s intent, the greater the power.
When the arrangement of the sword’s intent finished, Jiang Hao opened his eyes.
A sweep of sword’s intent flashed across his countenance.
In the blink of an eye, everything in front of him was slashed apart by his saber.
“It worked,”
Jiang Hao was quite moved.
The power was greater than he had anticipated.
Three days had passed.
It took three days to comprehend, which was quite slow.
His cultivation, after all, was not lacking.
The beginning of October.
Resuming his normal life, Jiang Hao was greeted by Senior Brother Bai Yi.
The current Senior Brother Bai Yi, with his strength in Immortal Ascension, was undeniably powerful.
“Junior Brother is going to challenge the top disciple?” Bai Yi asked with a smile.
Jiang Hao nodded, “Feels about right.”
“That’s good, I’ll discuss the details with Junior Brother,” Bai Yi said.
——
On the other side.
Baizhi arrived at Hundred Flowers Lake.
Jiang Hao’s challenge for the top disciple’s position, she had to mention it.
