The Star-Moon Temple was located on a mountain outside the Star-Moon City.
It was said to be a place of worship for a celestial lord.
Most visitors there were ordinary non-cultivators.
Jiang Hao found it to be a small temple.
“Here.” Wan Xiu stood on the rooftop.
These two were relentless. Jiang Hao had no intention of getting too involved witn tnem.
Powerful individuals were often unpredictable. Once they discovered that he was using Hong Yuye’s power, who knew what might happen?
Powerful people were capricious toward the weak but were polite to other strong individuals.
“Senior, why did you suddenly contact me?” Jiang Hao asked.
“We’ve captured someone and learned some information. We wanted to ask for your opinion.” Wan Xiu smiled.
“What happened?” Jiang Hao was puzzled.
The matters that even these seniors couldn’t handle were beyond his capabilities.
However, he had Hong Yuye behind him. If it was related to the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment, he could try asking her.
“Come.” Wan Xiu jumped down from the roof and entered the temple.
The temple was neatly kept.
As Jiang Hao passed by a table, he reached out to wipe it and found that there was not even a speck of dust on it.
It seemed like this small temple was maintained very meticulously.
Inside the temple, there was an idol of a celestial lord that was surrounded by stars. But the name of this lord was unclear.
Beneath the statue, a woman was tied up and lying on the ground.
Si Cheng leaned against the statue as he drank his wine.
“Fellow Disciple Jiang?” he mumbled. “Did your beloved not come here with you?”
Jiang Hao was speechless.
It was a good thing she hadn’t come with him.
Jiang Hao looked at the woman on the ground and noticed that her waist and legs were a little exposed. For a moment, he thought these seniors were being a little improper in capturing her like this.
The woman had long hair. She was gagged with a white cloth, and she looked furious.
“This is a member of the Fallen Immortal Clan. Her cultivation isn’t bad. Based on the information you provided earlier, we tracked her down,” Wan Xiu said.
Jiang Hao was surprised that they had been busy with this for the past half month.
“What are they planning?” Jiang Hao asked.
“The Fallen Immortal Clan has collaborated with The End of All Things, as well as a special group called the Saint Bandits,” Wan Xiu said with a smile. “Now, the most obvious thing is that these three parties are teaming up, and they have clear divisions of labor. The End of All Things wants to disrupt the
Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment by using certain things, such as the Earth Extreme Heart Devouring Pearl.
“The Fallen Immortal Clan has powerful individuals who are taking action and want to undermine the reputation of the Bright Moon Sect by spreading rumors about us. This will make the others doubt us and some might choose to willingly withdraw. The Saint Bandits are the strangest of them all. They wait for an opportunity and will only strike when the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment is about to be completed. At that time, if the seniors of the Bright Moon Sect are held back, things could get quite fatal.”
“Can’t the Bright Moon Sect handle these three forces?” Jiang Hao asked.
“They can.” Si Cheng stood up. “Dealing with them is not difficult, but the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment will take the strength and focus of all the powerful individuals. The whole of the Bright Moon Sect’s strength and power will be focused on the Heavenly Dao at that time.”
Jiang Hao nodded.
It seems attaining the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment was much more difficult than he had imagined. The Bright Moon Sect had to use all its strength and power, and the other forces were simply taking advantage of this vulnerability.
“Now, we plan to find the Fallen Immortal Clan and deal with them first. However, this person isn’t talking” Wan Xiu looked at Jiang Hao. “We want to ask for your help to find their hideout. Trying to spy on them proved… difficult. They aren’t weak and have acquired treasures and methods to help them. If we try anything, they might notice and move elsewhere.” Jiang Hao felt helpless. He didn’t have any intelligence to offer.
‘Should I use the Daily Appraisal?’
After some thought, Jiang Hao decided against it.
He had already made use of this method in the Lawless Tower. Now, with these two seniors watching, it was better to keep a low profile.
After observing the woman for a moment, Jiang Hao shook his head. “I was just lucky before to come across the information. I can’t do anything right now.”
“In that case, would you like to compose a poem to express your regret in this situation?” Wan Xiu quickly asked. Jiang Hao was speechless. ‘Why are you so obsessed with poems?’ Jiang Hao didn’t say anything.
If these two people continued watching him, he might get into trouble.
Fortunately, this was the eastern region and he belonged to the south. If they were in the South, it would prove to be risky for him.
“Disciple Jiang, no poem at all?” Wan Xiu pressed him.
“I really can’t remember anything right now,” Jiang Hao said.
“Just one line? Then, we’ll never ask for it again,” Wan Xiu said earnestly.
Jiang Hao was at a loss.
In the end, he bid farewell to the two. He didn’t recite any poems, but he did promise to do his best to help.
He also learned one thing from Si Cheng: early July was the most suitable time for the advancement of the Heavenly Dao.
Just half a month remained till then.
Back at the inn, Jiang Hao informed Hong Yuye of the situation.
“Three forces?” Hong Yuye was silent for a while. Then, she said, “If the Earth’s Extreme Heart Devouring Pearl falls into the hands of The End of All Things, the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment this time will most likely fail.” “Do they have it?” Jiang Hao asked.
Hong Yuye smiled. The disdain was clear in her eyes. It seemed they didn’t have any more fragments.
But why was Hong Yuye so confident that they wouldn’t be able to get more of the fragments?
The day before July, Jiang Hao received another message for a gathering.
“Tomorrow is the day for achieving the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishmen ”
Jiang Hao looked at the stone tablet.
The gathering was scheduled for midnight.
When it was time, Jiang Hao entered the gathering.
Senior Dan Yuan was also present this time.
After greeting the senior, they all sat cross-legged on the ground.
“You should all have guessed the purpose of this gathering,” Dan Yuan said.
“Friend Xing, please go on.”
With a nod of thanks, Xing said, “If nothing unexpected happens, tomorrow will be the best time for the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment. Borrowing of the power can happen at any time. I hope Gui and Jing can assist me when the time comes.”
“No problem,” Gui said with a smile. “I’ve obtained quite a few good things this time, but competing with the strong for the top spot is too difficult.”
“I’m fine with it too,” Jiang Hao said in a low voice.
He was also curious about what would happen tomorrow.
He hoped everything would go smoothly. If anything went wrong, a small fry like him couldn’t handle things. Unfortunately, Xiao Li and the others would be present too.
He had been keeping an eye on them for the past month. Han Ming was the most active participant. He constantly challenged people. Sometimes he won, and sometimes he lost, but his insights were improving, and his experience was growing.
After obtaining a pill, he quickly reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm. He was full of confidence and went around telling people that he was lucky to have advanced.
Han Ming’s performance attracted the attention of the seniors in high positions. They openly acknowledged his blessings and his ability to use his blessings to propel himself to the top.
“The location is not a problem. Now, let me tell you about some information that I found out recently, so you can be prepared,” Xing said. “I’ve heard that members of the Fallen Immortal Clan will launch an attack at the crucial moment. They might hide themselves in the most prominent locations, so you are still safe. But please be careful. If there is a problem, the people from the Bright Moon Sect will rush over to you immediately..”
