Chapter 540: The True Intentions of the Heavenly King
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Jiang Hao looked at the Heavenly King in front of him and didn’t know what to say for a moment.
His cultivation was still at the late stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm. He didn’t know if it had always been like this, or if he had fallen to this level during his two months here.
But he was being given preferential treatment. He could still remain stable at the late stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm.
Zhuang Yuzhen had been struggling to maintain his cultivation at the early stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm. He had been putting in a lot of effort. The Lawless Tower had gone easy on him. Otherwise, he would be at the Lifeblood refinement Realm by now.
After greeting him, Jiang Hao turned to the third prison cell.
There was a woman in a silver-white dress. Her clothes were surprisingly clean, and her skin was as fair as snow.
‘Is this the one Elder Baizhi asked me to meet? She doesn’t seem that special, but her strength is higher than that of the Heavenly King.’
She was currently at the peak of the Primordial Spirit Realm.
However, it wouldn’t be long before her cultivation realm fell. After some time, the Heavenly King would likely be the one with the highest cultivation realm here.
Jiang Hao whispered, “Heavenly King, It’s been long.”
“Heavenly King? Did you just call me Heavenly King?” King Hai Luo sneered. “Come here and pay your respects and call me “Grandpa Heavenly King.”” Jiang Hao was at a loss for words.
He didn’t know what to say. The Heavenly King feared neither life nor death and was unfazed by torture.
The people in the Lawless Tower had no way to deal with him, and he was still shouting arrogantly.
Zhuang Yuzhen had been like that in the past but not to this extent.
Jiang Hao decided to appraise King Hai Luo. He wanted to know what Hai Luo was actually planning.
Without Miao Anxian, there was no leverage against Hai Luo.
All he could do was endure his arrogance.
One thing was still puzzling. Why had Hai Luo returned to the Lawless Tower?
[Heavenly King Hai Luo: One of the Twelve Heavenly Kings of the Heavenly
River Sea. His cultivation was disintegrated and absorbed by the Lawless Tower. He is now left with the late stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm. He escaped from the Heavenly River Sea to the Lawless Tower for two reasons. First, to let the Heavenly King’s fortune separate from his body and go to where Miao Anxian is located so that he could try rescuing her. Secondly, to get back at you. He now feels that he has no weaknesses and is not restrained by anyone. He knows that you must be interested in the secrets of The End of All Things and the Grand Thousand God Sect, but he won’t tell you just to infuriate you.]
Jiang Hao was dumbfounded.
The Heavenly King had returned just to get back at him…
‘What’s the Heavenly King’s fortune? Could he really rescue Miao Anxian from the Abyssal Sea? Looks like he needs the help of the Lawless Tower.’ In any case, the Heavenly King truly did love Miao Anxian. It was a pity she didn’t appreciate that.
Jiang Hao found it amusing.
“What are you worried about?” he suddenly asked.
The Heavenly King laughed. “Me? Worried? Ridiculous! I’m trying to leave you with some dignity. I have nothing to lose. I can talk as loudly as I want!” Jiang Hao looked at him and didn’t say anything.
Elder Baizhi had only asked him to meet the Heavenly King here, not to interrogate him.
If King Hai Luo wanted to be smug, then he would let him be smug.
It didn’t affect him in any way.
After that, he turned his attention to the woman in the next cell. Her cultivation was slowly depleting.
Her control was no worse than Zhuang Yuzhen’s. She must be an exceptional individual.
“A Golden Core cultivator?” The woman frowned. “How dare a Golden Core Realm cultivator act so arrogantly here?”
Jiang Hao looked at her. Something felt strange.
Although the Lawless Tower suppressed his perception, he was currently using his vision to observe everything.
He could sense some auras extending from her.
Her aura was somewhat strange. E had seen it somewhere before, but he couldn’t recall it clearly.
The more he looked, the more puzzled he felt. It felt like he knew what it was but couldn’t grasp it.
“This is ridiculous!”
A voice interrupted Jiang Hao’s train of thought.
When he turned to look at the woman again, the strange feeling was gone.
‘I missed it.’ Jiang Hao sighed inwardly. If he had continued, he might have been able to understand it.
He still didn’t have a clue about what exactly it was.
But he had a feeling that once he found it, it would bring tremendous change in his life.
“An insignificant Golden Core Realm cultivator dares to offend me?” the woman in the cell said coldly. “The Heavenly Note Sect is truly shameless to insult me like this.”
“This is a demonic sect,” said Zhuang Yuzhen.
The woman looked baffled.
Jiang Hao didn’t pay much attention to her. After making sure that he still had some time, he walked to Zhuang Yuzhen with a few bottles of wine.
“What would you like to learn?” Zhuang Yuzhen asked politely.
“I’m not here to learn anything today. I just wanted to ask when the Corpse Realm Flower will bloom.”
He still remembered that Shang An had left the Clear Sky School.
Now, it was uncertain where he had gone. Logically, he would either go to the west or the north, where the Corpse Realm Flowers were present.
Shang An could only enter the Corpse Realm via those two places.
Although the Heavenly Note Sect also had it, the sect was remote. It was difficult to make it here.
“The Corpse Realm Flower?” Zhuang Yuzhen shook his head. “It’s not time yet. Although several years have passed, the Corpse Realm Flower doesn’t bloom so early. Moreover, whether it’s about to bloom or not, you can tell by looking at the seeds. There’s a way to distinguish it.”
After it was over, Jiang Hao looked at the disheveled middle-aged man in front of him. “Is there anything you need, Senior?”
There was nothing to say about Qu Zhong’s whereabouts. There had been no progress for so many years, and Zhuang Yuzhen didn’t seem to care much anymore.
So, there was nothing much to say. He could only ask him if he needed something.
“Can you bring me some meat next time?” Zhuang Yuzhen asked while drinking the wine.
“Alright.” Jiang Hao nodded.
Then, he turned and left.
Watching Jiang Hao leave, Zhuang Yuzhen glanced at the Heavenly King.
“Aren’t you fearless? Why didn’t you provoke him just now?”
The Heavenly King raised his head disdainfully. “I felt that he lacked enthusiasm, so I let him off.”
“You saw calmness in his eyes, and you felt uneasy?” Zhuang Yuzhen asked.
Everything was just empty talk until Jiang Hao made a move.
Once he made a move, everyone felt frightened.
The Heavenly King laughed. “Of course, a game is interesting when played bit by bit. Even to disintegrate a legend, it must be done bit by bit to feel a sense of accomplishment. Do you think my state of mind is limited to this floor? No! Only the eighteenth floor of this tower can contain me.”
“You think you’re worthy of being there on the eighteenth floor?” said the woman.
The Heavenly King snorted. “Shut up, b*tch.”
Jiang Hao left the Lawless Tower. He met Senior Brother Zuo Cheng on the way.
He shared all the information about the Corpse Realm Flower.
This was important information. If Jiang Hao proved himself to be of value, it would be easier to build a rapport with the people of the Lawless Tower.
Zuo Cheng also informed him that Senior Sister Yinsha would be in charge of the Lawless Tower after a while.
Jiang Hao was happy to hear this.
He was familiar with Senior Sister Yinsha.
Next time, he would make time to visit and talk to her.
It would be great if he could ask her about the matters at the bottom of the sea..
