Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness Chapter 1088: Chaotic Opportunity

Chapter 1088: Chaotic Opportunity

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After getting the spirit stones, Jiang Hao disappeared from where he was.

He had earned 120,000 spirit stones after selling the items. He had a total of 250,000 spirit stones.

As for Zuo Daoming, he could just find him after three years.

The pickaxe had the imprint of the Mountain Sea Seal, so it was not difficult to find it.

If someone erased that mark, it meant that person was far too powerful.

Moreover, it was not a loss. It was nothing to exchange a simple pickaxe with something like the Heavenly Flame.

If he wanted to dig for ores, he would need to get it back.

If not, he would keep the Heavenly Fire.

It was complicated.

Compared to the 120,000 spirit stones, the loss of the pickaxe was nothing.

The middle-aged man heaved a sigh of relief when Jiang Hao had completely disappeared.

He was afraid that he might make a move against him.

He had just said that those with pickaxes were useless.

Since the other party had taken out a pickaxe so casually, he was scared he had dug his own grave.

Fortunately, that senior did not hold a grudge against me. Otherwise, it would have been disastrous.

Zuo Daoming watched as Jiang Hao disappeared. He could sense that Jiang Hao’s strength was unfathomable.

The pickaxe was extraordinary.

“He didn’t leave any contact information. Will he be able to find us in the future?” asked the woman.

“That Senior’s strength is extraordinary. The pickaxe must have a mark on it.”

“I’m just worried whether I’ll still be around after three years.” Zuo Daoming sighed.

The woman hesitated and said, “With that deal, you formed a good relations.h.i.+p with that Senior. Perhaps one day, that relations.h.i.+p will benefit you.”

“That’s true.” Zuo Daoming nodded.

He held the pickaxe tightly. For some reason, he did not want to let go of it.

He had a burning urge to hold on to it.

In the deep sea, on an island covered in water, Xu Bai sat cross-legged.

After a while, a woman walked in.

“Fellow Disciple Xu, how do you feel?” asked the woman.

“I’m alright,” Xu Bai said gently.

His aura was restrained, but it was still majestic and vast.

“Every time I see you, I feel a little skeptical. You haven’t become an Immortal yet.” The woman sighed.

She was wearing a dark blue dress and standing on the water as if she was floating on it.

“The opportunity hasn’t arrived yet,” Xu Bai said with a smile.

“Do you have an answer to the question yet?” the woman asked.

“Whether you become an immortal by yourself or by relying on other opportunities, it depends on you in the end. If you think it’s a big deal, then it’s a big deal. If you think it’s not that big of a thing, it’s not. In the end, it depends on what you think. The path of immortality is not the end, it’s a new beginning,” said Xu Bai.

“Do you think I can become an immortal?” asked the woman a little sadly.

Xu Bai looked at her but did not answer.

The woman did not ask any further questions. She had already heard what she needed to hear.

She sighed and looked into the distance. “Fellow Disciple, what do you want to do now?”

“I asked the sect the question. Perhaps it can help you.” Xu Bai raised his head and smiled. “The answer you seek should be coming soon.”

The two of them waited quietly.

A moment later, a stream of starlight descended from the sky.

It entered Xu Bai’s body.

“It’s here,” he said. “Looks like it is good news.”

“Good news?” The blue-robed woman looked expectant.

“I asked the Twelve Heavenly Kings about becoming immortals, and an Elder offered a total of three divinations,” said Xu Bai slowly. “There is no hope for the first divination. The second divination found some changes. The third shows that the opportunity is chaotic.”

“Chaotic?” The woman was puzzled.

“That means there’s hope, but they’re unsure if it can help the Twelve Heavenly Kings become immortals,” said Xu Bai. “The change in the Abyssal Sea marks the beginning of a chance for the Twelve Heavenly Kings to become immortals. The opportunity will last for a long time. If they still can’t become immortals, then it would show how difficult it actually is. As time pa.s.ses, the opportunity will become chaotic. If this hasn’t happened in the past, it means there is hope.”

“Can you discern where the chaos comes from?” asked the woman.

“I can’t be sure right now.” Xu Bai shook his head.

“Alright.” The woman nodded.

That information was enough. Perhaps she had vaguely guessed what the future would be before, but she could see a clear outline of it at that time.

“Do you still want to try?” Xu Bai asked.

“Of course! I have to try.” The woman nodded. “The opportunity has already appeared. We’ll never know if we don’t try. In addition, I’ll tell you if I find something related to The End of All Things. Information about the Ancient Lands can only be obtained through The End of All Things. The information on the core members should be here soon. As far as I know, it might be related to the Great Thousand G.o.d Sect. They’ve been working together quite frequently over the years.”

Around early November, when Jiang Hao opened his eyes. Purple energy swirled around.

He could see two mountains before him. One was big, and the other was a smaller version of it.

There was a faint suppressive force around.

Then, the purple energy dissipated.

The mark on his forehead also faded away.

“I did it! I didn’t expect him to be so strong.”

After the mountain split into two, his every move had a suppressive aura.

If he had the Immortal Mountain Sea s.h.i.+eld on him, the suppressive aura would be even more intense.

He had seen a similar aura on Xu Bai before.

‘The stronger I become, the more I realize how terrifyingly powerful Xu Bai is…’

The geniuses of the immortal sects were indeed extraordinary.

Jiang Hao did not think too much about it. Instead, he took out the Merit Cauldron and began to place the Mountain Sea Seal on it.

This time, the explosion was deafening and much louder than before.

November pa.s.sed quickly.

Jiang Hao had rarely left the courtyard in the past few days. He had even put aside his job of tending to spirit herbs. The most important thing was to recover his cultivation realm as soon as possible.

However, during the process, he seemed to feel a fluctuation of power outside the sect. There was a battle between experts.

He did not pay much attention to it.

Around early December, the power belonging to the late stage of the Immortal Ascension Platform burst out from Jiang Hao’s body.

Only then did he stop using the Mountain Sea Seal.

He recovered one realm per month.

It was already very fast.

However, it was not easy to recover to the peak of the Immortal Ascension Platform.

It would take at least two months.

When he arrived at the entrance of the courtyard, he looked into the distance.

‘I wonder who came this time.’

He still remembered the aura from before.

It had been so long, and nothing had happened. Perhaps it was not a powerful enemy attack.

Otherwise, the sect would not be so quiet.

After watering the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower, Jiang Hao went to the Spirit Herb Garden.

He planned to ask around.

But first, he had to pay some spirit stones to the Task Hall.

He checked his storage treasure and found that there were 698 spirit stones left.

“It seems that I can’t afford anything right now.”

Jiang Hao smiled bitterly.

He did not mind.

He still had Red Azure tea on him.

He could sell it for more than nine thousand spirit stones, so he did not owe anyone spirit stones.

In the Spirit Herb Garden, Jiang Hao asked Cheng Chou about what might be happening outside.

But he did not know about it either.

Jiang Hao thought of Liu Xingchen. He would have known.

‘It has been several months. I wonder how Senior Brother Liu is doing.’

He had forty-nine days from the last appraisal. From the looks of it, the other party’s condition was not better than his own.
