“Although they might not really see you, they’ll sense something powerful on you. For example, the Mountain Sea Merit Cauldron.”

“Then, what should I do, Senior?” Jiang Hao asked.

“There’s no need to do anything. Just continue to use the name I gave you to cover it up. Everyone will think it’s Gu Jin who’s ascending to immortality,” said Gu Jin with a smile.

Jiang Hao was silent.

He wondered whether he should use Smiling San Sheng’s ident.i.ty or Gu Jin’s.

It did not matter as long as he could conceal himself.

He had to ask Hong Yuye first.

“How confident are you?” Gu Jin asked.

Jiang Hao remained silent, but in the end, he smiled.

He did not know if he was sure about this, and he knew that his chances were slim. It was not easy to be the first one to attempt something that had never been done anyway.

It was not something that could be achieved by relying on luck or faith.

“I have to remind you of something. If you succeed, you will definitely attract trouble, even with my ident.i.ty. It’s fine if you have a strong background. If not, you have to leave overseas as soon as possible,” said Gu Jin kindly.

“Senior, have you offended many people?” Jiang Hao asked.

“That’s the first reason. Secondly, my personality and your talent will pose a threat to many people. They’ll try to kill you,” said Gu Jin and paused. “The academy will help you at all costs. If you have nowhere to go, just head to the Astronomical Academy. No one there will doubt your ident.i.ty.”

Jiang Hao did not doubt that.

The academy’s approach was indeed a little different.

If he went out as Gu Jin, he would be seen as a great senior of the academy. Many people were afraid when he used the name “Gu.” If he used all of Gu Jin’s ident.i.ty, the impact would be huge.

However, that was a last resort.

He would not choose to go to the Astronomical Academy unless absolutely necessary, especially when using Gu Jin’s ident.i.ty.

Staying in the Heavenly Note Sect was the best choice.

The Holy Master would be nearby that way.

If not for Gui, Gu Changsheng would have been here as well.

After getting the answer, Jiang Hao asked about the Red Dragon. I seem to have seen his figure somewhere overseas. I don’t know how to approach him. Would there be any misgivings if I do?”

“Dragons think differently from humans. When a Red Dragon sees you, he’ll be confused. He’ll feel like you’re not me, but you seem like me at the same time,” said Gu Jin.

“Why?” Jiang Hao was puzzled.

“The fact that I gave you my name is enough to explain everything. The reason is not important to him. If you need his help, just ask.” Gu Jin smiled. “Of course, there’s one thing you have to remember. It doesn’t matter if you’re a dragon or a human. Feelings are relative. No human or other creature will give you everything unconditionally.”

Jiang Hao was stunned. He lowered his head in thought. “Of course, I understand. What’s the best way to get in touch with him if someone wants to?”

“Just invite him to wherever you are,” Gu Jin said casually.

“What if he refuses?”

“Then, the place might not be special enough.”

Jiang Hao nodded.

“Can I call him Junior Brother?” he asked with a smile.

“No problem,” Gu Jin said.

The corners of Jiang Hao’s mouth curled up into a smile. He did not ask anything more.

“How long will you be gone for?” Gu Jin asked curiously.

“Who knows? Maybe twenty years… maybe forever.” Jiang Hao stood with his hands behind his back.

On this trip, he would either surpa.s.s the Human Emperor or end up as a pile of bones.

After talking for a while, Jiang Hao left.

Looking at Jiang Hao’s disappearing figure, Gu Jin was stunned. “Ascending to the Immortal Ascension Platform at the age of fifty? He’s going to overturn the whole era. Why hasn’t the Astronomical Academy tied him up by now? If they don’t snag him away fast, it’ll be too late.”

He had done everything he could. All he could do at the moment was wait for the Astronomical Academy to do their part.

If the other party joined the academy, he would be the most dazzling star in the Great Era War.

…

In the courtyard, Jiang Hao returned and sat under the peach tree.

This time, he had learned a way to contact the Red Dragon from Gu Jin.

He had two choices.

One was to use Gu Jin’s ident.i.ty.

The second was to invite the dragon to the ninth floor of the Jade Cloud Pavilion.

Without a doubt, he would choose the first option because he could not afford the ninth floor of the Jade Cloud Pavilion.

He could not even go up there, let alone invite the dragon there.

Did he need to do anything if he somehow found his way up there? The Red Dragon called Gu Jin “Brother.” If they were on bad terms, they would have fought a long time ago.

It was not easy to find the Holy Master this time either.

After all, one million spirit stones were far from enough.

He did not want to die. If he really forced Li Qi to self-destruct, it would be quite troublesome to find him again.

He had unknowingly become a bit more reliant on Li Qi.

As for using Gu Jin’s ident.i.ty while ascending to immortality, he had already thought about it.

It would not matter if Smiling San Sheng’s ident.i.ty was discovered, but he had to keep the Mountain Sea merit Cauldron hidden.

Although being discovered would make many people fear him, The End of All Things would go crazy.

It would be madness.

They would forever be mindful of him. Even if others helped him, they would use all kinds of reasons and excuses to limit him.

He could no longer rely on anything because the future was uncertain.

Even the immortal sects did not want to risk it.

A powerful, independent person would mean a threat to everyone.

After bidding farewell to Gu Jin and the Holy Master, the rest was settled.

He could not talk openly to others in the sect. He would take care of matters in his own way.

Half a month later, Jiang Hao finished writing in a notebook.

It was an explanation of the Foundation Establishment Realm and the essentials of advancing to the Golden Core Realm.

In addition, he had bought a Heaven Rejuvenation Pill.

Jiang Hao handed the things to Cheng Chou.

“This?” Cheng Chou was puzzled.

Senior Brother Jiang had always explained cultivation issues in the form of lectures, which was far easier to learn.

Why had he suddenly written a book about it? The pill surprised him the most.

It was for advancing to the Golden Core Realm.

He was only at the late stage of The Foundation Establishment Realm.

“Keep it. Use it when it’s time,” Jiang Hao said softly.

There were eyes and ears everywhere, so it was not convenient to pa.s.s things around.

Apart from that, Jiang Hao also gave him some talismans.

Cheng Chou was worried.

“Senior Brother Jiang, can’t you give these to me after I reach the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm?” He handed them back.

Jiang Hao only looked at him and did not take back the things.

“If you’re worried, give it to the spirit beast for safekeeping.”

Cheng Chou was stunned.

It felt like Senior Brother Jiang Hao was leaving for good.

“Don’t worry about it. I’m just going on a long trip,” said Jiang Hao. “It’s a sect’s mission. The trip will take a long time.”

“Will you be back, Senior Brother?” Cheng Chou asked.

“Yes.” Jiang Hao nodded. “I will.”

Cheng Chou heaved a sigh of relief.

“Keep an eye on the spirit beast and Xiao Li,” Jiang Hao said.

Cheng Chou nodded. There was nothing he could do for them, though.

“I’ll leave in half a year. During this time, stabilize your mind and focus all your thoughts on cultivation. You can come to me with any questions,” Jiang Hao said.

Cheng Chou did not refuse.

Jiang Hao was in a hurry to find the others.

The spirit beast and Xiao Li would not be as calm and composed about this news as Cheng Chou.

During this time, he often stayed in the Spirit Herb Garden and often lectured about cultivation methods.

Someone challenged him for the seat of the top disciple.

Without a doubt, they lost.

To make himself feel more at ease, Jiang Hao challenged the candidate at the early stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm constantly.

It was a narrow victory.

After that, no one else came to challenge him.

Around mid-June, Jiang Hao found Bing Qing.

She stood beside Xiao Li and listened attentively.

Others had stopped talking when Jiang Hao arrived.

Bing Qing was called away. Xiao Li was a little worried. Did Senior Brother Jiang find out something?

“You know, the reason why you are here is that the Lawless Tower wants you here.” Jiang Hao looked at Bing Qing.

Bing Qing lowered her head.

“Since you’ve been here, your cultivation realm should have recovered a lot, right?” Jiang Hao asked.

Bing Qing’s cultivation realm had recovered very quickly and was now almost at the Golden Core Realm.

In a few more years, there would not be many people in the Spirit Herb Garden who could be her match.

“Xiao Li is innocent… I’ll never harm her,” Bing Qing immediately said.

Jiang Hao looked at her. He was silent for a moment. “I mean, she just doesn’t understand most things. Just keep an eye on her.”

Bing Qing found that hard to believe. “C-Can I protect her?”
