Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness Chapter 1122: At The Cost Of Burning His Lifespan

Chapter 1122: At The Cost Of Burning His Lifespan

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Mi Lingyue and the others were still talking.

Their voices were not loud, especially since Jiang Hao was cultivating. They did not dare be loud.

“Heavenly King Hai Luo, your Master is cultivating,” Mi Lingyue said.

“I wonder if there will be any changes here,” Zhuang Yuzhen said.

“What changes?” asked the lantern bearer.

Yan Shang and Old Man Corpse Sea also watched.

“I don’t know. Last time, I felt it was very strange. It was as if he had comprehended something. I wonder if it’ll be the same this time,” said Mi Lingyue.

Last time, they had witnessed the change in Jiang Hao’s aura, but they did not know what was going on.

However, after waiting for a long time, they did not see any new changes.

Jiang Hao showed no signs of waking up.

Three days later, Jiang Hao’s body began to glow with an obscure golden light.

When the light appeared, everyone immediately looked at him. They did not know what was happening.

Then, the light flickered.

The others could not see anything, but Mi Lingyue frowned.

When the light flickered faster, her eyes widened.

But she could not figure out what was happening.

“Miss Lingyue, you saw something?” Zhuang Yuzhen asked.

“Forging inheritance…” Mi Lingyue was not sure what it was.

However, it was definitely related to forging.

Old Man Corpse Sea frowned. At that moment, he felt that Jiang Hao’s body was shrouded in an unseeable light.

The light might be related to the person in the Blood Pool.

Yan Shang lowered her head in thought. No one knew what she was thinking.

The light flashed.

They saw Jiang Hao suddenly open his eyes.

Everyone stared in surprise.

Jiang Hao looked tired. He looked at the people in front of him. They seemed startled.

He ignored them.

He closed his eyes and adjusted his state.

At that moment, he felt the blood in his body surging.

The changes were visible to the naked eye.

Out of curiosity, he appraised himself.

He was stunned by the feedback.

The results of the appraisal were not much different from before. The only change was that the previous twenty-five years had become twenty-three years.

Two years less than before.

Jiang Hao’s heart ached.

He did not have much time to begin with. It had lessened further.

He quickly looked at the Merit Cauldron and found that the light of virtue had dimmed a little.

It was also because he had consumed a lot of merit when the phantom appeared.

‘I didn’t expect the impact to be so great.’ Jiang Hao thought.

Although he had become a little stronger and was able to use the Heavenly Pole Technique, it came at the cost of burning his lifespan away.

It was a price that was too exorbitant for him. He could not afford to do that.

Jiang Hao did not think about it any further.

Fortunately, it had not reached the point of no return.

After that, he continued to cultivate and did not think about the cauldron anymore.

The Mountain Sea Merit Cauldron never appeared again.

Perhaps it had just been a coincidence.

Around early July, Jiang Hao heard a lot of news.

Many people below had their cultivation realms absorbed. Almost all of them were spies and traitors.

Apart from that, there was another thing that surprised Jiang Hao.

Senior Brother s.h.i.+ Yongcong, who had sent him here, had also been brought in.

It was said that the Lawless Tower had investigated him and found that something was wrong with him.

Then, he was tricked into entering the Lawless Tower.

However, the moment he entered, he returned to normal.

He was still imprisoned.

Jiang Hao was surprised.

How did the Lawless Tower find out?

Was it because of Heavenly King Hai Luo’s Reversal of the Great Thousand Spirit Technique?

He wondered what had happened to the others marked by Hu Yuexin.

After he got out, he would have to find them one by one.

When he was strong enough, he would persuade Hu Yuexin to let them all go.

She and her puppets would not listen to him usually. But if his cultivation realm was high, anyone would listen.

On that day, Jiang Hao heard that Mu Longyu had arrived.

However, he had not come to the Lawless Tower yet.

Besides, Jiang Hao could leave now.

“Sorry for making you wait, Junior Brother Jiang.” Yinsha smiled and said, “We’ve been catching too many people lately. It would have been troublesome to let you out early. It’s fine now.”

“Caught the people from the Great Thousand G.o.d Sect?” Jiang Hao asked curiously.

“No. The people of the Great Thousand G.o.d Sect were extremely difficult to capture. There are traces of them everywhere. We’ve cleaned up the damage they did, but it’s still troublesome,” said Yinsha.

Jiang Hao was curious. He asked what the trouble was.

“Our original intention was to capture Feng Hua, but unknowingly, others from the Great Thousand G.o.d Sect were captured instead. I feel that we have unknowingly created quite a beef with the Great Thousand G.o.d Sect. It’ll affect future corporations,” said Yinsha.

The Heavenly Note Sect was also doing something overseas.

The people overseas were strangely quiet.

That was the home ground of the Great Thousand G.o.d Sect. If their people were discovered, they would definitely attack.

The enmity between the two sides was not small.

Jiang Hao did not know what to say.

The two parties originally would have no conflict of interest, but, at the moment, the Heavenly Note Sect seemed to be at odds with them in every way.

There were even techniques that targeted the members of the Great Thousand G.o.d Sect specifically.

No one would believe that there was no feud between them.

However, Feng Hua had targeted the Heavenly Note Sect before, and the Heavenly Note Sect wanted to capture her.

The feud between the Heavenly Note Sect and Feng Hua was not as serious as before.

However, this sect had made an enemy out of the entire Great Thousand G.o.d Sect.

The higher the status, the more trouble there would be.

Things had not escalated from his side at the moment.

Although Hu Yuexin had her own goal, she had not gotten to the point where she targeted him.

After leaving the Lawless Tower, Jiang Hao returned to the Spirit Herb Garden.

He no longer needed to go to the mine.

It was a pity, but there were still many things to be done. So, he did not push it and accepted his fate.

He needed to take a look at the new disciples that had been recently recruited.

He needed to find Mu Yin.

Since Mu Longyu was here, he had to know Mu Yin’s situation before talking to him.

Cheng Chou walked over to him.

“Senior Brother Jiang, you’re back? Recently, a junior has joined us.”

“A junior?” Jiang Hao asked.

“Yes. He’s in the early stage of the Foundation Building Realm. He argued with Xiao Li the moment he arrived,” Cheng Chou said. “He’s been here for almost a month now. He had a fight with Xiao Li on the first day. He is just getting out of bed with freshly healed injuries.”

“He stole Xiao Li’s things?” Jiang Hao asked.

“It was a simple quarrel.” Cheng Chou lowered his head. “At first, they were talking happily. After a while, they started arguing. Junior Brother told her in anger that he still has parents, and she doesn’t. Xiao Li said she still had a brother… Then, they started fighting. Xiao Li is extraordinarily strong, especially against someone at the Foundation Establishment Realm.”

Jiang Hao nodded. Xiao Li was no ordinary Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator. “What’s his name?”

“Mu Yin. He is a disciple of the Buddhist Sect,” Cheng Chou said.

“A Buddhist Sect?” Jiang Hao was surprised.

Although he knew that Mu Longyu had a son named Mu Yin, he did not know how old he was or what realm he was in.

He had thought that he would hide his son. Who knew he was a disciple of the Buddhist Sect?

“He has already recovered?” Jiang Hao asked.

“Yes,” Cheng Chou said.

“Call Xiao Li. I want to go see him,” Jiang Hao said.
