‘What exactly are the pages of the ancient book?’

Jiang Hao wasn’t certain.

But from the information he gained, they were definitely not simple.

He didn’t understand why some were items like the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl, while others were ordinary things like cooking recipes and so on.

It seemed there was no distinction between the immortal and mortal.

Anything could appear on the pages.

“Did the legends come before the pages, or did the pages come before the legends?” Hong Yuye asked.

“Weren’t some of them just ordinary things?” Jiang Hao wondered why they were all legendary.

“Ordinary things?” Hong Yuye asked.

Jiang Hao mentioned things like culinary skills that he had seen on the pages.

Hong Yuye asked, “Before delicious food appeared, what did people eat? Before magnificent buildings rose, where did people live? Before weaving emerged, what did people wear? Before the appearance of paper, what did people use to write on? Those who cultivate have their own world and perspective. But that doesn’t mean that only things related to cultivators are legendary. With time, you will discover that all living things experience legendary phenomena. Each legend acc.u.mulates to form the present world. And now, people consider culinary skills ordinary because they have long lived amidst legends.”

Jiang Hao understood that the appearance of pages from the ancients was actually influencing the world.

“The things recorded on the pages of the ancients already exist. Even if there were no pages, those things would eventually happen someday. The appearance of the pages accelerates the appearance of what’s recorded and even provides methods to counter it. In other words, the pages of the ancients record various things and wait for the destined person to retrieve them,” Hong Yuye said.

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Hao realized that it all made sense.

It was when history reached a bottleneck and was about to usher in change that the Sage’s Page would appear.

It would inform others about what the change would be.

Whoever obtained them could step ahead of others and lead.

But whether one could achieve something like that was another matter entirely.

Whether it was the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl or the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment, the same rules applied.

These were things that couldn’t be achieved by individuals alone, even if they obtained the pages.

Even if one hid the pages, one couldn’t prevent the things that were destined from happening.

The Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl and the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment would still have emerged.

The Sage’s Page had the upper hand.

Many were naturally interested in those pages.

After finis.h.i.+ng the book, Hong Yuye returned it to Jiang Hao.

“Do you think the Hundred Nights Curse is related to the Corpse Realm, Senior?” Jiang Hao asked.

Hong Yuye glanced at him but said nothing.

Instead, she drank her tea.

Jiang Hao also sat down and poured himself a cup.

“How long have you been here?” Hong Yuye asked.

“I arrived in June. It’s now October. It’s been more than four months,” Jiang Hao said.

“Do you plan to continue mining and earning spirit stones?” Hong Yuye asked.

“Of course. Serving you is my priority, Senior,” said Jiang Hao.

After hesitating for a moment, he said, “While I was cultivating in seclusion inside, I heard the sound of waves. I don’t know where it came from.” Hong Yuye looked at the mountain range. “Do you want to enter that sea?” “It’s not that… I’m just curious,” Jiang Hao said.

It wasn’t necessary to enter. If fate allowed it, he could go in and take a look.

If not, then he could forget about it.

“It won’t be long. In a while, you will be able to enter that sea,” Hong Yuye said.

Jiang Hao was surprised. It meant that the sea was the Corpse Sea after all.

He just didn’t know if he could see the founder of the Divine Corpse Sect.

The other party hadn’t left any traces at Heavenly Stele Mountain, which was regrettable.

Askinq them    help him understand what the Corpse Realm was all about.

It could also clarify whether it was possible to enter through teleportation.

The two didn’t speak again but silently drank their tea.

After half a pot of tea was finished, Hong Yuye turned to Jiang Hao. “Is Xiao Li also here?”

“Yes.” Jiang Hao nodded.

“Aren’t you going to go and find her?”

“Xiao Li is not a child anymore. Eventually, she has to learn to go out on her own.”

“She’s not a child anymore?”

“Yeah.”

Hong Yuye looked at the person in front of her and then pointed into the void. A red light shot across.

No one knew where it led to or what it intended to do.

Dole once again visited Moon Lake, but he no longer sold ores openly.

He was much more cautious than before.

The only regret was not having a convenient treasure to conceal himself. Otherwise, it would have been much easier.

He possessed numerous ores which were priceless.

In his lifetime, he had never seen so many spirit stones.

Although he hadn’t sold them yet, he already treated them as spirit stones.

After a long time, he saw a late-stage Golden Core Realm cultivator, whose cultivation wasn’t as strong.

The person seemed to possess some spirit stones.

After a brief hesitation, he emerged from hiding.

The other person was startled.

“Friend, please don’t be afraid. I mean no harm,” Dole hurriedly said.

The man, who had been cautious, couldn’t believe it was Dole.

He instinctively stepped back and hastily said, “Friend, let’s talk things out.”

He knew very well that since the appearance of this person, there hadn’t been any powerful figures daring to act brazenly at Moon Lake.

Everyone who targeted Dole had died, no matter their origin or opportunities.

Every person was mercilessly slain.

It was all because they had offended this person.

Therefore, among the people at Moon Lake, Dole was feared.

“Friend, I really have no ill intentions. There’s no need to be so frightened,” Dole said kindly.

“Do you… do you have something to say to me?” the man asked. “I wanted to ask if you’re interested in buying ores. I have some…”

“I’ll take it. I’ll buy everything.”

Dole sold the ores in a daze and earned about three thousand spirit stones.

This puzzled Dole. The man looked terrified of him.

After that, he met several more people. It was the same with everybody.

They bought many ores from him. They gave him all their spirit stones in exchange.

Dole felt like he was robbing people of their money.

In the distance, two people observed Dole.

Their cultivation realms were extremely high, and Dole, at the Golden Core Realm, naturally couldn’t sense them.

They were both women. One was clad in tiger and leopard fur and exuded a wild aura, while the other looked graceful and elegant.

“That really is Dole from our sect,” said the woman in animal fur.

“Yeah, it’s him. Is it true that whoever offends him gets slaughtered?” asked the

graceful woman.

“Didn’t you notice? The late-stage Golden Core Realm cultivator who bought the ores was actually at the Primordial Spirit Realm.”

They dared not offend Dole. It seemed the rumors were true.

Here at Moon Lake, Dole was not someone to be trifled with.

“It seems that quite a few people have their eyes on him,” said the woman in animal fur.

“He’s doomed once he leaves.”

“Should we warn him? If it is possible, perhaps we could advise him to stay here. There might be some hope here,” said the graceful woman.

“Forget it. He has offended many great sects. I heard that most of the deceased were from major sects. If someone suspects that we know him somehow, there’ll be a disaster.”

“That’s true but doing nothing makes me feel a bit guilty.”

“We’ll pay attention after he leaves.”
