Chapter 1588: Chapter 1348 Those Above the True Immortals
ps: Give me ten minutes to check something.
————
One hundred and thirty-one years old.
It was still September.
Jiang Hao closed the door and began his retreat.
This retreat was completely different from the previous ones.
He didn’t know what the outcome would be.
Perhaps the first failure would come today.
Even if there was success, it likely wouldn’t come so quickly.
True Immortals…
A realm he hadn’t dared to even consider before.
He hadn’t expected to come into contact with it so soon, which was truly surprising.
Regardless, Jiang Hao had to calm his heart and attempt the breakthrough.
Whether he succeeded or failed, he wasn’t too worried.
He had walked his path smoothly thus far.
It was only right to encounter setbacks.
Once his state reached its peak, the retreat would begin.
At this time, at Hundred Flowers Lake.
Baizhi stood in front of the pavilion, reporting the events of recent years.
“Some major events have taken place in the southern region, some ancient races have awakened in other areas, wishing to compete for territory, but they have met with significant resistance.”
“In the eastern region, the Immortal Clan is at war with the immortal sects, hardly leaving room for other races.”
“Unless they join the Immortal Clan.”
“But some races are unwilling to do so.”
“They cannot survive in the eastern region, and both the north and west have immortal sects as well as many major sects.”
“They also find it difficult to gain much advantage, so in the end, many races turned their attention to the southern region,” Baizhi said earnestly:
“Fifty years have been enough for them to recover a lot, so many races have started to pour into the southern region.”
“And the good places are mostly occupied by top-tier sects, compared to the west and north, the sects in the south are much easier to deal with.”
“In recent years, many battles have already erupted.”
“Even Heavily Gate Sect has encountered trouble.”
“At present, there are more people headed our way, coming from the Juti Clan; they seem to plan to greet us amiably first.”
“Is there anything else?” Heavenly Note Sect asked casually.
“News from overseas about The End of All Things claiming to be searching for someone named Hai Yiyi, who appears to have come to the southern region.”
“The End of All Things will likely send more people,” Baizhi paused before continuing:
“Moreover, Feng Hua mentioned a person named Chuan Heng from The End of All Things who is very concerned about the southern region; she suspects the person behind the scenes paying attention to the Heavenly Note Sect is him.”
“As for the Heavenly King, Taomu Hideki taking over her duties, he doesn’t actually care much about the Heavenly Note Sect.”
“Who is this Chuan Heng?” Heavenly Note Sect inquired while sipping tea.
At this moment, she looked up at the sky.
She saw Dao intent forming.
But she didn’t pay it much heed, instead continuing to observe.
Baizhi next to her was completely unaware of this.
“We’re not sure yet, but he is definitely a core member,” Baizhi replied.
“And who is Hai Yiyi?” Heavenly Note Sect asked.
“We’re currently planning to inquire with Heavenly King Hai Luo; he may know something, arriving as he did with many secrets.”
“Because of Jiang Hao’s influence, he might reveal some of them.”
“Perhaps he also knows about Hai Yiyi,” Baizhi stated.
Upon hearing this, Heavenly Note Sect looked at Baizhi and asked:
“What about Jiang Hao?”
Baizhi seemed to have anticipated this question, and immediately replied, “Ever since he became the top disciple, he has hardly left the Cliff of Broken Hearts, either tending to the spirit herbs or teaching Daoist principles.”
“Completely different from other top disciples, somewhat neglectful of proper affairs.”
“But he has been this way for years, and has not changed just because of a change in status.”
“As for why he insists on staying in the Spirit Herb Garden.”
“It might have something to do with the person behind him,” she said.
Heavenly Note Sect remained silent for a moment before saying:
“When will the people from the Juti Clan arrive?”
“It will take a few more months,” Baizhi answered.
Heavenly Note Sect asked, “Who do you plan to send to greet them?”
Upon hearing that, Baizhi understood the intention of the Sect Master and said, “You mean send Jiang Hao?”
“Not enough?” Heavenly Note Sect queried.
Without lingering on the thought, Baizhi nodded, “That’s enough.”
After hesitating for a moment, Baizhi asked, “Should we aim to foster the collaboration with the Juti Clan?”
“That’s up to you,” Heavenly Note Sect replied afterward.
After Baizhi reported a few more matters and everything was finished, she left.
With the advent of the great era, she had many things to do.
It was unavoidable.
The emergence of great races, the rise of powerful forces.
Sects with sufficient resources all faced various risks.
Places like the Heavenly Note Sect would undoubtedly attract attention.
Even if remote, it was easy to become a target for those races with nowhere else to go.
She was also quite troubled.
Because the Human Emperor phase had passed, and True Immortals had begun to walk the earth.
In her current state, not having reached True Immortal, dealing with full-on attacks from other races was very troubling.
Luckily, they had a good number of Human Emperors.
And there were others lending aid.
Like Heavenly King Hai Luo, King Mu Longyu.
The Ice Spirit Clan of the Cliff of Broken Hearts, too.
The opponent was of a formidable innate talent and a significant ally.
But recently, she didn’t know where they had gone.
It involved the small girl, so it was indeed difficult for her to intervene.
The small girl was a dragon, which she had known for a long time.
She had initially hoped to make the other party an ally, but now, she had led another ally away.
After Baizhi left, Heavenly Note Sect slowly stood up.
With a single step, she disappeared from the spot.
When she appeared again, it was in the courtyard where Jiang Hao was located.
There, the Dao Patterns were flowing, converging into a great pathway.
Waiting for the approval of heaven and earth.
Yet, even after a long time sitting in the courtyard, heaven and earth gave no response.
Even when the Dao Patterns completely fused and created an empty pathway, it did not obtain the recognition of heaven and earth.
Heavenly Note Sect simply waited while drinking tea.
As days passed by.
The pathway of the Dao shone brightly, and heaven and earth finally reacted.
Seemingly acknowledging, yet as if disputing.
This contradiction began to intertwine, revealing signs of failure in Jiang Hao’s ascent.
Seeing this, Heavenly Note Sect furrowed her brows.
But she did not intervene throughout.
