Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness Chapter 1084: Bi Zhu Discovers Jing's Conspiracy

Chapter 1084: Bi Zhu Discovers Jing’s Conspiracy

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the courtyard in a city in the South, Bi Zhu waited from morning till night.

She was starting to feel sleepy.

Just when she yawned, she heard a voice in her mind. “Were you waiting for me?”

The voice was devoid of any emotion.

Gu Changsheng had arrived.

Bi Zhu was pleased. “Senior, you’re here? Can you see a difference in me now?”

“Let me guess… escaped from a life-and-death crisis once again?” Gu Changsheng asked.

“Yes! Senior, you’ll never believe what has happened,” said Bi Zhu.

Gu Changsheng slowly asked, “Has the matter with the Heavenly Extreme Dream Pearl been resolved yet?”

Bi Zhu smiled proudly. “Yes, and partly thanks to me. The Heavenly Extreme Dream Pearl wasn’t as disastrous as you made it out to be, Senior.”

Gu Changsheng was speechless.

“Aren’t you curious about the incident, Senior?” Bi Zhu asked.

“Yes. What happened?” Gu Changsheng asked.

“It’s a long story. I’m just eighteen years old and yet…” Bi Zhu began to explain what had happened before. She did not get into minute details but just outlined the gist of the matter.

She told him about the stirring of power in the Human Emperor’s palace, the Xuanyuan Sword, the Yellow River of Nine Winds, and the suppression of the New World.

She described how someone had managed to seal the world at the critical moment.

The more Gu Changsheng listened, the quieter he became.

After a long time, Gu Changsheng said, “So… the situation regarding the Heavenly Extreme Dream Pearl and the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl were somewhat similar?”

Bi Zhu fell silent.

Gu Changsheng was also silent for a long time.

“Don’t you find it strange?” he asked after a while.

“Strange?” Bi Zhu was puzzled.

“Yes,” Gu Changsheng said. “The reason why the ultimate evil of the world is seen as disastrous is because they hold the power to destroy everything. Such things usually appear once in a blue moon. These destructive treasures never appear consecutively. Usually, the gap between them spans centuries or millennia. How did such terrifying, destructive treasure appear one after the other in such a short time? You are only eighteen years old and have already seen this happen three times already. It has happened so frequently that the world was on the verge of destruction repeatedly. It just doesn’t make sense.”

Bi Zhu was horrified. “Senior, that means… Do you think there is something else controlling everything?”

For a moment, she thought of a mysterious figure behind it all.

“The Heavenly Extreme Dream Pearl is related to the Dragon Clan. Perhaps the sealing of that treasure will provoke the long-dormant Dragon Clan,” said Gu Changsheng.

Bi Zhu was stunned. She suddenly remembered something.

The Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl, the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment, the Saint Bandits, and the Heart of the Ancestral Dragon all had begun to react when Jing had sought information on the Dragon Clan.

This time, it was the Heavenly Extreme Dream pearl, which was directly related to the Dragon Clan.

Bi Zhu felt that she was onto something, but it was too terrifying to think about.

Jing sought the dragons, but no one knew why.

But one thing was certain. Without the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl and the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl, the Heavenly Extreme Dream Pearl would never have appeared.

In addition, the Heavenly Extreme Dream Pearl would not have been triggered if Gu Changsheng had not been suppressed. Jing had come up with a way to suppress him, too.

Bi Zhu could not help but shudder.

She dared not think about it too much.

The more she thought about it, the more terrified she felt. She felt that she was close to the truth.

Everything was interconnected.

“Senior, I heard you wanted to come out of that tree. Do you need my help?” Bi Zhu suddenly asked.

Gu Changsheng was speechless.

“Senior, it’s been so many years. Aren’t you curious about what the outside world is like? Aren’t you nostalgic for it?” Bi Zhu asked.

Gu Changsheng did not answer.

“Phew…”

Jiang Hao sat in the courtyard and sighed.

After a month of hard work, his cultivation had finally changed, and he was finally in the middle stage of the Immortal Ascension Platform.

He could finally go and find Ming Yi.

But there was a problem. He did not know how to confront the Holy Master.

He needed to find a location first.

“Maybe I can go to Senior Brother Mu Qi’s place…”

Ming Yi had made her way to his place and had been able to suppress the Holy Master there.

So, it was only logical to take action there.

It was easy, too. Mu Qi could call Ming Yi there.

Early in the morning, Jiang Hao left for the Spirit Herb Garden.

All he lacked was spirit stones.

Jiang Hao still had not figured out how to get more spirit stones.

He had two 250,000 left. He had also sold some small items.

In fact, there were still many spirit swords to sell. He could get around 35,000 spirit stones after selling them.

He had to go out to sell it at a proper price.

He could sell it overseas or in the West.

But he did not know if it was safe to go there.

If his opponents were not stronger than him, he could handle them.

Jiang Hao shook his head. He didn’t think much about it.

He could not afford to get into any sort of kerfuffle. If he encountered something dangerous, it would be over for him.

After all, he was still haunted by misfortune.

“Maybe I can ask someone from the gathering to do it…”

Xing owed him a reward.

But if he asked him to sell spirit swords for some spirit stones, it would affect the mysterious image he had tried hard to build of himself.

He would only do that if he had no other option.

“Senior Brother Jiang!” Xiao Li ran over to him.

She looked around and seemed disappointed.

She must have been looking for more peaches.

Jiang Hao did not mind. He knew she and the spirit beast would sneak out later to get snacks.

“What’s wrong?” he asked.

“These are some things for you, Senior Brother.” Xiao Li handed over a storage treasure. “Senior Brother Cheng Chou said he did not dare to take it, so I kept it for you. It takes up too much s.p.a.ce.”

Xiao Li’s storage treasure was a pink bag. It looked ordinary but pretty.

She liked it. She did not even want to exchange it for a better quality one.

Jiang Hao looked inside and raised an eyebrow.

There was no food, but he found spirit stones.

The bag was almost filled to the brim.

“Where did you get so many spirit stones?” Jiang Hao asked.

“I got them from the Bright Moon Sect before. The seniors there gave them to me. I also got a little from bandits,” said Xiao Li as she counted on her fingers. “Oh… master gave me some, and Senior Sister Miao also gave me a bit. Also, Senior Brother Mu Qi gave me some.”

Jiang Hao was speechless.

He roughly calculated them and found that there were about five hundred and twenty thousand spirit stones.

Most of it must have been from the Bright Moon Sect.

“Did you mean to give it to Cheng Chou first?” Jiang Hao asked.

“Yes.” Xiao Li nodded. “But Senior Brother Cheng Chou said he could not accept it, so I kept it. But my bag is getting full…”

“So, you want me to keep it?” Jiang Hao asked.

Xiao Li nodded.

“Should I give some of it to Cheng Chou?” Jiang Hao asked.

Xiao Li nodded again.

Jiang Hao smiled. He took away five hundred thousand spirit stones from her bag.

He would give them to Cheng Chou later.

If he forgot about it, he would leave it with the spirit beast so it could give it to Cheng Chou.

“You can give some to Junior Brother Lin Zhi and Junior Brother Chu Chuan too,” said Xiao Li.

Jiang Hao nodded.

He would let the spirit beast handle it later.

He would use the five hundred thousand first. He needed it.

With the spirit stones that he had, combined with the ones he would earn by selling the spirit swords, he would have around a million spirit stones.

He did not know if the spirit beast had any spirit stones.

He arrived at the Spirit Herb Garden and took care of the spirit herbs.

He looked around to see if Senior Sister Miao was there.

In the afternoon, she arrived.

She approached Jiang Hao with a smile on her face. “Junior Brother Jiang, how have you been?”

Jiang Hao nodded slightly. “I’m alright.”

“Just alright?” Miao Tinglian said. “So… you’re not really fine, are you? Maybe you feel a little lonely by yourself? No one to talk to at night when you go home tired, and no one to be with in your free time.”

Jiang Hao was speechless. He had no free time to speak of.
