Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness Chapter 1221: Jing Appears After Fifteen Years (2)

Chapter 1221: Jing Appears After Fifteen Years (2)

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Not just Hai Luo, but Xing and Liu too.

It had been fifteen years, and the gathering was still looking for the Four Great Monsters.

Three exotic beasts had appeared so far.

There was one in the North, one overseas, and one in the West.

They all were somehow connected to The End of All Things.

There was no news about the fourth one yet.

In other words, the beasts in the southern Imperial City had never been discovered.

Dan Yuan only mentioned the mission for a moment. Then, he said,

“Is there any news about the East Heavenly Pole?”

Everyone shook their heads.

Jiang Hao was a little surprised. What was the East Heavenly Pole?

Was it an object or a place?

He could ask around if it was an object or a name, but if it was a place…

The people here a.s.sumed he knew a lot of secrets, so it would not leave a good image if he was the one to ask about it.

He remained silent. He would ask Hong Yuye later.

Other than that, Dan Yuan did not mention any other missions. Instead, he turned to look at Jing.

“Fellow Disciple Jing, do you still have time?”

Jiang Hao’s heart skipped a beat when he heard that.

He might be referring to the Mountain Sea Merit Cauldron.

The merit was about to be exhausted.

After a moment of silence, he nodded. “Yes.”

Dan Yuan smiled. “It seems you have found a way, Jing.”

Jiang Hao remained silent.

He was not sure how much Senior Dan Yuan knew about it, but he might roughly know the overall situation.

Although the others were puzzled, they had some guesses.

Then, they proceeded to the trading phase of the gathering.

“Zhang, the person you’ve been looking for has been found,” said Liu.

He revealed the location and the general information.

Zhang nodded and looked at Xing. “The people of the Bright Moon Sect have already gotten what they wanted. They should be heading back to the East now. The missing person has been found.”

“Thank you, Zhang.” Xing nodded.

“Jing, the thing you want has also been delivered to the Shangguan Clan.” Gui looked at Jiang Hao.

Jiang Hao was surprised. It was strange to hear about the things that he had tasked Gui with fifteen years ago.

In the end, he just nodded.

If it was on the way, he would go and get it.

“I need help to decipher a question about the Dragon Clan’s inheritance.” Zhang looked at Liu.

The latter nodded.

Their transaction was hidden, but Jiang Hao realized that Liu had made friends with a dragon.

From the looks of it, the Red Dragon was overseas.

He did not know how to face the other party. Whether to meet him depended on the situation.

“Are you overseas, Liu?” Jiang Hao asked after everyone was done.

“Yes.” Liu nodded.

He still owed Jing two favors.

“The Twelve Heavenly Kings will appear in some locations when they become immortals. Fellow Disciple Liu, you need to occupy one of the positions. You can choose to leave later. That can count as one of the favors you owe me,” said Jiang Hao.

Liu nodded without hesitation.

After all, he could leave later.

“Do you need someone else to be in a certain position too?” Gui said.

“Gui, you’re overseas?” Jiang Hao was surprised.

“Yes.” Gui nodded.

Taking up one of the positions would mean she could watch the Twelve Heavenly Kings become immortals from a close distance.

She naturally wanted to go.

In addition, she could also get paid.

“What do you want in exchange?” Jiang Hao asked.

“The Shangguan Clan has a secret place that can suppress their curse. Can I take a look?” Gui asked.

She had always been curious about the thing that could suppress the Hundred Nights Curse.

The Shangguan Clan had Jiang Hao backing them up, so she could not just go and check it out as she pleased.

Even Gu Changsheng was curious about it.

Jiang Hao lowered his head in thought. That place was part of the Blood Sea.

He agreed but told her not to touch anything.

Repaying Gui in that way was not a loss.

After that, there were no more transactions. Everyone began to talk about the situation around them.

Xing was the first to speak.

“I heard that Heavenly King Hai Luo is trying to break through to the Immortal Ascension Platform. He seems to be in a hurry. It seems the time is near.”

Xing looked at Jiang Hao.

The others did the same.

Even Senior Dan Yuan looked at him.

Everyone was curious about the person attempting something that had never been done in history.

“It would probably be next year,” said Jiang Hao calmly.

Everyone was surprised. It seemed that things were indeed very urgent.

They did not know if they did not have enough cultivation, or if the best time was next year to ascend to immortality.

Jiang Hao still had seven years left to live, but he had to become an immortal five years before that. It was a sort of safety net.

Once he started to advance, he would definitely have a lot of merit and luck.

Even though there were the Twelve Heavenly Kings, they might not be able to react in time.

It was best to use the Mountain Sea Merit Cauldron.

Five years was not so much, so he had to persevere.

He just needed to spare some time for the Twelve Heavenly Kings to recover.

“The Saint Bandits seem to care a lot about helping the Twelve Heavenly Kings. Do they have a motive?” Liu asked.

Many people knew that the Saint Bandits had joined the overseas forces, but not many knew their reason for it.

Jiang Hao shook his head.

He did not know the reason Saint Bandits had agreed to cooperate.

He had asked them for a deal. He would help them sort out the talent they had harvested from the Immortal Clan if they agreed to help Hai Luo recover his cultivation.

Therefore, if they were more dedicated than usual in helping Hai Luo, it was none of his business.

Perhaps they had other things to gain from it.

Maybe their goals just coincided with the Heavenly Kings achieving immortality.

“I heard that the mutated beasts in the North have been taken away by The End of All Things. There isn’t any news of the ones overseas or in the West,” said Gui.

“They might find it difficult to conquer the beast in the West. Lou Maintain intends to intervene,” said Zhang.

“He also wants the mutated beasts?” Gui asked curiously.

“No.” Zhang shook her head. “He just wants to stop The End of All Things. I don’t know why.”

Jiang Hao also found that strange, but it was good that someone was trying to stop The End of All Things.

It would be troublesome if they found all the beasts. The last one needed to keep hiding.

“The Great Thousand G.o.d Sect has been in a lot of trouble these years. The Heavenly Saint Sect has been hara.s.sing them non-stop, and their plan to create immortals has failed. They seemed to have found the cause for it, though. The problem lies in the South. They’ve also given up a lot of the Holy Master’s divine souls. I wonder if they’ll leave the South alone in the future.” Liu smiled.

Jiang Hao sighed. The Holy Master was truly a good brother to him.

It had been so many years, yet he had continued to help.

However, the Great Thousand G.o.d Sect might be able to lock onto Smiling San Sheng, which was also troublesome.

None of the people here were in the South, so he had no news of the Heavenly Note Sect. He wondered how the sect was doing.

“Have you been paying attention to the one with the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment lately?” Zhang suddenly asked.

Gui shook her head.

They were all overseas and could not pay attention to what was happening in the North.

“I heard that the one with the Heaven Dao Foundation Establishment has undergone a huge transformation,” Zhang said.

“What kind of transformation?” Gui was curious.

“My information is limited, too.” Zhang shook her head.

At this moment, Dan Yuan laughed softly.

Everyone was surprised. They looked at him.

“Senior, do you know about it?” Gui asked.

“I only heard rumors of a great luck gathering in the North. No one knows what it is. It might be the one with the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment,” said Dan Yuan with a smile.

Everyone was shocked.

Was the one with the Heaven Dao Foundation Establishment about to achieve great luck?

Jiang Hao sighed with emotion. Chu Jie was about to become a person with great luck.

She had been working hard in the North for so many years, and it seemed that she had achieved great results.

Others struggled for hundreds of years to gather great fortune, but Chu Jie had the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment and innate abilities.

After talking for a while more, the gathering ended with Senior Dan Yuan’s reminder.

Jiang Hao woke up on the island. It was a very small island that was deserted and uninhabited.

Under the moonlight, he saw Hong Yuye in a red and white dress. She was sitting at the table and drinking some tea.

“It ended so soon?” She turned around when she sensed Jiang Hao’s gaze.

Jiang Hao nodded. “Yes.”

“Any news?” Hong Yuye asked.

“I heard that Heavenly King Hai Luo has recovered his cultivation to the eighth stage of the Immortal Ascension Platform,” said Jiang Hao. “Also, the one with the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment is going to become a person with great luck.”

“A person with great luck?” Hong Yuye was a little surprised. “Hm… Then, it’s going to be tough for that Junior Brother of yours.”

“If Chu Jie becomes a person with great luck, will Chu Chuan ever be able to catch up?” Jiang Hao was also curious.

Chu Chuan’s innate immortal heart was unpolished. The more he fought, the braver he became.

But…

His opponent was someone with the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment with great luck.

No matter how talented one was, there was no comparison between the two.

“What do you think?” Hong Yuye asked.

“I trust your judgment, Senior,” Jiang Hao said respectfully.

Hong Yuye drank her tea and looked at him.

Then, she laughed and continued drinking her tea.
