Jiang Hao looked at the woman in front of him with some confusion.
He couldn’t leave. But she had told him to prepare the bath for her. He had no choice but to wait.
It wasn’t surprising.
At this moment, he used his techniques to maintain the temperature of the bathwater, so it would be ready when Hong Yuye finally woke up.
However, the flower petals inside might bloom earlier than expected.
If she didn’t use the bath, it would be a waste of a thousand spirit stones. This time, he had used the Silver Flower Petals.
A thousand of them…
‘Junior Brother Han has reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm… It’s been two years. I should try to advance too.’
He still had more than a year left before Han Ming returned, so there was no need to rush.
Advancing now would be too noticeable. But once Han Ming returned, things would be different. After noticing Han Ming’s progress, people wouldn’t see his progress.
Moreover, there was the Blood Wish Path to protect him.
This way, most people wouldn’t pay too much attention to him. After all, he was just a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator. As long as he stayed in the Spirit Herb Garden. no one would cause trouble-
Those with lower cultivation realms wouldn’t dare to come there, and those with higher cultivation realms had no reason to pay attention to him.
The Candlelight Pill Pavilion and the Hindered Bones Forest wouldn’t bother him again.
As for other matters, it only remained to be seen.
But no matter what trouble might come, they would be something along the lines of the Golden Core Realm or the Primordial Spirit Realm.
All of this was within his capabilities.
He took out a book and started reading. It was the nameless manual.
After a while, Jiang Hao looked outside. The sky had turned dark, the moon was bright, and the stars sparkled in the night. ‘The night seems more beautiful than before.’
He put down the book and looked at Hong Yuye.
She was still asleep with her chin on her hands.
He wondered if her hands were sore. Any normal person would have laid their head on the table to rest after a while. Her head was propped up on her hands for so long.
It almost looked like she was only pretending to be asleep.
When he saw Hong Yuye sleeping so soundly, he had the urge to use the One
Heart Palm on her.
But he dismissed that thought.
Luck only helped so far. Oftentimes, he could endure her attack and still survive because she didn’t intend to kill him.
Doing something foolish like that would be terrifying.
The person in front of him was not an ordinary cultivator. She was someone who could make strong individuals in the Bright Moon Sect take her seriously.
Testing her patience would be suicidal for someone like him.
In the middle of the night, he noticed that there was a surge of spiritual energy coming from the direction of the Bright Moon Sect. It indicated that a strong cultivator was teaching the disciples there.
This was considered a fortunate event for many people, and he also wanted to go and listen to the lecture.
Unfortunately, he couldn’t leave at the moment.
Inside the Bright Moon Sect, Master Hao Yue was giving a lecture.
People of all cultivation realms could learn something from this lecture.
It was easier for those below to comprehend the teachings, especially under the radiant light of the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment.
Some were delighted and some were worried. Ku Wu Chang looked at Xiao Li who had fallen asleep and sighed in helplessness.
He understood that the lecture wasn’t boring. Xiao Li simply couldn’t pay attention enough to listen to it.
He had given her trying to make her listen.
Chu Chuan, on the other hand, listened intently. He felt that he had learned a lot from this lecture.
But what shocked him even more was Chu Jie’s advancement to the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
Many were in disbelief.
Chu Chuan felt that his own progress was still too slow.
He needed to consult Lord Beast and his senior brother when he returned to the sect.
He needed to find his own path, which might be arduous. However, he couldn’t back down.
“Those are mine! Don’t steal my meat, beast!” Xiao Li mumbled in her sleep. Many people heard her.
For a moment, everyone from the Heavenly Note Sect was on their guard.
Ku Wu Chang felt awkward.
This was still okay among his fellow sect members because they were used to it. However, with so many powerful people around, what would they think of their sect when they heard this?
The Dao Conference was still ongoing!
The next morning, Jiang Hao closed the book.
He had spent the whole night studying and had learned a lot of things. As he delved deeper into it, progress became increasingly difficult. It would take some time to reap the full benefits. At that time, he would observe more, control his power better, and enhance his perception.
By then, the world would be truly extraordinary from his point of view.
His danger perception ability would also become stronger, as would his ability to conceal his cultivation.
When he raised his head to check if Hong Yuye was still asleep, he found that she had disappeared.
Then, he heard the sound of water splashing in the tub.
Quickly, he turned and saw a person pouring water over her shoulder behind the folding screen.
He was at the side, so the screen didn’t cover her fully. He could see her shoulders.
It seemed that she had felt his gaze because she turned to look at him.
Their eyes met.
Jiang Hao was speechless.
Bang!
Jiang Hao struggled to get up and sat with his back facing the folding screen this time.
“Did you throw caution to the wind?” Hong Yuye asked.
Jiang Hao sighed. “Senior, you misunderstood. I was just concerned that someone might be in your bath.”
Jiang Hao was surprised that he had been so focused on the book that he hadn’t noticed Hong Yuye getting up and going for a bath.
It made sense. Her power was far superior to his own. Sometimes, it was impossible for him to sense her.
The stone tablet vibrated. There was a gathering tonight.
It seemed that Xing was ready to pay their reward.
He also needed to go see Chi Tian.
He could use this opportunity to see how determined Chi Tian really was and prepare for tonight.
After informing Hong Yuye of his plans, he left after she finished her bath.
Before leaving, he brewed some tea.
At noon, Jiang Hao arrived at a guesthouse.
It was Chi Tian’s residence.
Jiang Hao had long known about Chi Tian’s whereabouts. Otherwise, how could he have kept an eye on him?
However, when he entered, he smelled blood.
Chi Tian was injured on his chest.
“You’re injured?” Jiang Hao asked.
Startled by the sudden voice, Chi Tian prepared to defend himself.
When he saw that it was Jiang Hao, he breathed a sigh of relief.
“It seems that my enemies sensed something and sent someone to kill me,” Chi Tian said.
Jiang Hao nodded.
He appraised Chi Tian.
[Chi Tian An inner disciple of the Blood Shadow Sect, with a peak of Golden Core Realm cultivation. A member of The End of All Things organization. Due to the slaughter of his parents, wife, and children by elders of his sect, he became extremely vengeful and joined The End of All Things. Seeking vengeance seemed hopeless to him, but you have given him hope, and he is willing to give his all.]
Jiang Hao looked at the feedback from the divine ability and realized that there was use for Chi Tian after all.
He didn’t know how long Chi Tian would remain true to his goal.
“Are you planning to leave?” Jiang Hao asked.
“Yes, our sect doesn’t plan to stay any longer. We’ve obtained everything we needed, and we’ll be leaving in a few days,” Chi Tian said weakly.
Jiang Hao tossed him a Healing Talisman to help alleviate his pain.
“Are you prepared to go to The End of All Things?”
“I’m ready, and I’m willing to do anything it takes,” said Chi Tian eagerly.
“In that case, wait for my message,” Jiang Hao said. He then left.
“How will I contact you when I reach The End of All Things?” Chi Tian asked.
“Just wait for me to contact you,” Jiang Hao said before disappearing from Chi
Tian’s sight..
