Chapter 1667: Chapter 1386: Teaching the Demoness to Let Go of Obsessions_2 Chapter 1667: Chapter 1386: Teaching the Demoness to Let Go of Obsessions_2 “Does it matter?” Heavenly Note Sect asked.
“It does,” Jiang Hao replied seriously:
“Those years were the meaning, whether it was Zhenzhen or Yi.”
“Every stop in life might seem optional, but on a sudden reflection one day–”
“It's those previously unimportant things that come to mind.”
“Like an arrow suddenly piercing the heart.”
“Giving you a peculiar feeling.”
“Besides the feeling?” Heavenly Note Sect asked.
“You are too fixated,” Jiang Hao said, looking at the person beside him, “You think it's all just drinking tea, does it matter who you drink with?”
“It matters, because the feeling is different.”
“Other than the feeling, there's nothing else.”
“So, do you think this feeling is important?”
“Actually, there are countless meaningless things in this world.”
“Especially when people know they will fail, yet countless rush in nonetheless.”
“Why?”
“Where is the meaning?”
“Sometimes it isn't about meaning, it's just that things are here, and we have to act.”
“Don't overthink, let go of your obsessions, and just take one step at a time.”
Upon hearing this, Heavenly Note Sect was stunned, and it took a long while to regain composure and look at the person in front saying,
“You think quite openly.”
Jiang Hao shook his head, “I don't think openly, sometimes I think less.”
“I have no heart for invincibility, nor do I harbour great ambition.”
“So, just focusing on surviving is good enough.”
Heavenly Note Sect curiously said, “After talking so much, don't you zone out?”
“I do think about it, but I figured I'd rather focus on my cultivation for these two hundred years and improve my cultivation level.”
“Quickly stepping onto the Immortal Ascension,” Jiang Hao said.
Heavenly Note Sect chuckled lightly,
“When you go out to chat with others, do they think you can't chat?”
Jiang Hao pondered for a moment and realized he rarely talked extensively with others.
“What about her parents?” Heavenly Note Sect looked at Zhenzhen and asked.
“They went to fortune-tell,” Jiang Hao answered.
Heavenly Note Sect lightly laughed, “They are indeed focussed on their spiritual path.”
Jiang Hao nodded, “They said they wasted decades and want to make up for it, they barely spent time with their kids, not quite fulfilling their role.”
“Is it possible that they just wanted you to watch over them?” Heavenly Note Sect asked.
Jiang Hao: “….”
If so, that would be despicable.
Just watching over the kids.
And releasing one after another.
Fortunately, a few had been released, making subsequent releases more convenient.
Directly handing them over to these people would do.
Over the years, Chu Chuan had stopped sending letters back, and Mu Longyu only sent one every several years. Looking at the date, it was sent twenty years ago.
One month later.
They were flying over Mountain Village, with Manlong being vigilant of the surroundings.
He informed Jiang Hao that the area nearby was dangerous, with demonic beasts lurking.
It was better to take a detour, but the other side did not agree, saying they could go straight across.
It didn't matter.
This left him quite helpless.
He could only toughen up and stay alert to the surroundings.
At that moment, there were dark clouds ahead.
Once you entered, the consequences were unpredictable.
The others also began to worry.
However, as they were preparing for combat, suddenly a blade light swept across.
Boom!
The blade cut through the dark clouds.
Instantly creating an opening.
The ship flew through.
The surrounding demonic beasts pillared menacingly, but none dared to make a move.
When they passed,
Manlong and others were sweating profusely.
Senior Sister Zhou Chan was also frightened.
They thought they were going to be attacked.
But as it turned out, they were peacefully unharmed.
Manlong then understood why Jiang Hao said to go straight.
The blade strike was truly terrifying.
Although he was also in the middle stage of the Immortal Ascension Realm, he couldn't withstand that one blade.
One blade could strike him down.
To think that he was once a top disciple.
Although there was a gap between the ninth and the tenth, it was not supposed to be such a disparity.
That is to say, Jiang Hao could completely defeat the ninth tier and even go higher.
But he chose to stay hidden in the tenth tier, not moving upward.
Moreover, he suspected that Jiang Hao might have hidden his true cultivation.
The privilege of the strong is to be fearless.
With this, he need not worry any longer.
Whatever the other said, that was it.
Charge recklessly, just charge recklessly.
No need to think.
Recalling Jiang Hao's previous missions, as long as fellow disciples followed the advice, they would always return safely.
The decisions he made, one had to follow unconditionally.
He would even face immortals if asked.
Manlong finally realized that, and arranged for people to be ready to charge into danger whenever necessary.
As expected, they proceeded peacefully without incident.
Very domineering indeed.
As they encountered people from other sects on the road, everyone couldn't help but regard the Heavenly Note Sect more highly.
Early February.
The group arrived at the capital.
Jiang Hao stored his magical treasures, and after showing the invitation letter, he smoothly entered through the city gate.
“There are a few days left before the grand competition. You can roam the city for five days before following me into the imperial palace,” Jiang Hao looked at Manlong and said, “If anything happens, seek help from your elder brother Manlong.
“If he can't handle it, come and find me.
“Just don't start troubles.”
Don't start troubles also meant they didn't need to fear others causing trouble. Manlong expressed his understanding.
After that, Jiang Hao dismissed everyone.
Of course, their accommodations had been pre-arranged by Manlong.
Then, only Cheng Chou and the others were left, along with Senior Sister Zhou Chan and Zhao Qingxue.
“Junior brother, would you like to explore?” Zhou Chan asked curiously.
“Yes,” Jiang Hao nodded. “What about you, senior sister?”
“Planning to take them out for a walk,” Zhou Chan indicated toward Yi, who was holding Zhenzhen.
Yi was tiny, and holding Zhenzhen made her seem even smaller.
“Isn't it tiring to carry her all the time?” Jiang Hao asked Yi.
“Not tiring, it's safe,” Yi earnestly replied.
Jiang Hao smiled slightly and tapped Yi's forehead with his finger.
He then said, “Go ahead, you can roam around here as long as you don't leave the imperial city.”
Afterward, Zhou Chan led the group away.
She was an expert in the early stages of the Immortal Ascension Realm, and few could match her.
She could also sense malice.
If anyone targeted them, she would be the first to notice.
Of course, Jiang Hao would be aware of their situation immediately as well.
Since Yi was under surveillance by The End of All Things, she warranted special attention.
Once everyone was gone, Heavenly Note Sect appeared beside Jiang Hao: “The capital is indeed quite flourishing.”
“I wonder if any incidents might occur here,” Jiang Hao said.
A royal family-hosted grand competition would logically be an occasion for something to happen.
Conspiracies would rise.
At the center of power, nothing was ever completely stable.
While touring around with Heavenly Note Sect, Jiang Hao discovered something.
“There are traces of The End of All Things here; they are also present,” Jiang Hao said, slightly helpless.
“Isn't that what you wanted?” Heavenly Note Sect chuckled.
“But it's probably not for Yi; capturing her would be useless,” Jiang Hao shook his head.
After a moment's hesitation, he decided to enter the imperial palace to look around.
If he could find out what The End of All Things planned, it would be best to avoid any interference with their people.
Soon, Jiang Hao arrived in front of the imperial palace and declared his intentions. The guard immediately said, “Please wait a moment; we will have someone guide you shortly.”
A moment later, a princess hurriedly approached.
She performed a greeting and said, “I am Princess Wen Xue, greeting the elder.”
“Bearing the great luck of the royal family?” Jiang Hao was extremely surprised:
“Is the Heavenly Note Sect held in such regard?”
As he spoke, he looked at Heavenly Note Sect.
“What, is the Heavenly Note Sect so underestimated?” Heavenly Note Sect retorted.
“Not really,” Jiang Hao followed her inside, continuing, “It just feels like the demonic sect isn't very welcome.”
The guide, Princess Wen Xue, was sweating profusely. The Heavenly Note Sect indeed wasn't held in such high regard.
Her arrival was merely a coincidence.
A princess at the Primordial Spirit Realm acting as a guide was also rare.
If they were truly esteemed, it would've been a prince who came.
It was mainly because they heard that the Heavenly Note Sect had only sent disciples, not even an elder.
So, they hadn't taken it very seriously.
As for the great luck of the royal family…
Not many knew about this.
“Which areas would the elders like to visit? Or perhaps you want to go to your quarters?” Wen Xue asked.
Jiang Hao shook his head: “Let's just walk around.”
Wen Xue nodded, “Let's just wander then. Oh, there's a tea pavilion over there, would you like some tea?”
“What kind of tea do you have?” Jiang Hao asked casually.
“It would probably be ordinary tea for elders like you,” Wen Xue said awkwardly.
“That's fine,” Jiang Hao nodded.
Meanwhile,
Lady Bi Zhu sat bored in the garden.
“Where is sister Wen Xue?”
She asked.
“I heard she went to greet people from the major sects,” Auntie Qiao answered.
She had expended a lot of effort and had finally been promoted.
Currently, she was still somewhat weak.
“Is there anything good in greeting them? Though we're idle as well, if we were to go greet people, would the elder brother agree?” Lady Bi Zhu curiously asked.
“He probably would,” Auntie Qiao responded.
After all, she would be accompanying them.
“Then should we go find sister Wen Xue? Let's see how she does it first,” Lady Bi Zhu suggested.
