Chapter 825: Hm… Bury Him

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Back in his courtyard, Jiang Hao took out the stone tablet.

He chose to ignore the threat from Feng Hua for the moment.

The more he cared about it, the happier she would be.

She was probably trying to find his weakness by targeting Xiao Li.

She had gained nothing in the end.

Instead, she had lost three of her avatars. She didn’t even know how they died.

Jiang Hao a.s.sumed Feng Hua felt angry right now.

The threatening note she had sent was probably just a bluff to make him fl.u.s.tered. If he paid attention to it, he would be playing right into her hands.

Ignoring her was the best option.

Since he would soon gain more information on the Holy Master, it was better to think about his next step.

He checked the stone tablet. It was indeed information he had asked about the Holy Master. The information was sent by Senior Dan Yuan.

“The Heavenly Saint Sect firmly believes that the Holy Master is their hope. Their entire core revolves around the Holy Master. The sealed Holy Master can hear their voices and occasionally send some divine thoughts and blessings.

As a result, the sect has developed rapidly. Many join the Heavenly Saint Sect for small favors. The majority, however, join because they don’t know who else to turn to, and the Heavenly Saint Sect’s preaching includes the promise of fulfilling their wishes.”

‘Perhaps the Holy Master is the most important…’

Jiang Hao continued to read. This was not what he was looking for.

“The predecessor of the Heavenly Saint Sect was the Heavenly Spirit Tribe. Once, the Heavenly Saint Sect was similar to the Heavenly Spirit Tribe, but the two clans had different ideologies. The Heavenly Spirit Tribe looked down on all beings but did not seek to enslave them. They already considered themselves superior. On the other hand, the Heavenly Saint Sect despised all living beings and sought to subjugate them. With different ideologies, the conflict began.

The Heavenly Saint Sect was defeated, but it managed to survive and recover. The Holy Master rose from the ruins with a divine soul and vowed to reclaim the glory of their clan. They engaged in another war against the Heavenly Spirit Tribe.

At that time, someone from the Heavenly Spirit Tribe emerged and sealed the HOLY master. HIS Ident.i.ty was untraceaD1e at tne time, Dut now It seems ne was a Saint Bandit.”

Jiang Hao recalled what he saw in the Heaven Lock Technique.

There might have been a great war between the Heavenly Spirit Tribe and the Heavenly Saint Sect. Later, the Saint Bandits rose and began their own plan.

The Heavenly Saint Sect wanted to enslave everyone, and the person who sealed the Holy Master wouldn’t allow it.

However, was it during the era of the Human Emperor…

Where did the Heavenly Saint Sect get the courage? Did the Heavenly Spirit Tribe suffer a major defeat, and was it possibly connected to the Human Emperor?

Jiang Hao couldn’t know for sure.

Still, he hadn’t found what he was looking for.

He continued to read further. He found some information on the Holy Master.

“The Holy Master, even if killed or sealed, cannot be completely annihilated. His true self is challenging to break free from the seal, but over countless years, there have always been incarnations of the Holy Master.

Without exception, they use women as vessels, specifically the ones appointed as Saintesses of the Heavenly Saint Sect. It’s said that a true Saintess can bear most of the Holy Master’s soul, while a Saintess candidate can only bear a small portion.

When the Holy Master descends, he will infiltrate various sects and lurk within. Perhaps there are even fragments of the Holy Master’s soul in some sects right at this moment.

The Great Thousand G.o.d Sect seems to be collecting the Holy Master’s divine souls and hunting them down. Some people in the Great Thousand G.o.d Sect a.s.sume that the Holy Master has descended seven times till now.

Among them, three were at the peak of the Return to Void Realm, three at the Immortal Ascension Platform, and one beyond the Immortal Ascension Platform. The stronger the vessel, the stronger the power would be.

The Saintess candidates at the Primordial Spirit Realm or Soul Ascension

Realm are most likely to hold an Immortal Ascension Platform divine soul.

After the Holy Master’s descent, he will destroy the original soul of the vessel, devour it, and take on the body of the original host.”

There were some additional details, but Jiang Hao didn’t find them particularly interesting.

At that moment, the most important thing was the gap in strength.

‘A Primordial Spirit or Soul Ascension Realm cultivator was likely to produce a divine soul beyond the Immortal Ascension Platform. That would mean that Miao Tinglian, who is at the Golden Core Realm, might produce a divine soul at the Immortal Ascension Platform…

Jiang Hao thought about it. If the divine soul was at the Immortal Ascension Platform, he couldn’t be certain of his victory.

If he could catch the opponent off guard, he might have a chance.

His primordial spirit was quite powerful, especially after so many years of cultivation.

With additional divine abilities and the Immortal Mountain Sea s.h.i.+eld, he might have a chance against someone at the middle stage of the Immortal Ascension Realm.

It was also unlikely that the opponent would be at their peak when they were just born, so that could work in his favor too.

He needed to keep some hidden cards in hand.

For urgent backup, he would need the Cliff Master. Lui Xingchen might not be enough.

He might need the spirit beast to take Xiao Li over to the Cliff Master to protect her.

If he couldn’t win, he would leave a spell on the beast so it could find the Cliff Master.

He had to prepare for every possibility.

The Heavenly Cauldron probably couldn’t stop the Holy Master’s divine soul. The Yin-Yang Bracelet could, but Miao Tinglian would need to be within the bracelet’s range for it to succeed.

He could try to trap the opponent in the Heavenly Cauldron until he could use the Yin-Yang Bracelet on Miao Tinglian. He could then leave only one way open.

That way, he could fully engage with the opponent.

But there was a small problem.

When the Yin-Yang Bracelet was activated, could he get out from the inside? Could he use the golden ring inside it to escape?

It was hard to say.

After hesitating, he went to the courtyard to test it out.

He found that he could do it, but the two powers clashed.

He didn’t know what would happen at that moment.

Jiang Hao shook his head in confusion and went to Senior Brother Mu Qi’s house that night.

When he arrived, he sensed someone nearby.

Just as he was about to examine further, the other party disappeared.

Jiang Hao frowned. He guessed that it might be someone from the Heavenly Saint Sect.

‘It seems they have decent strength. I wonder whose ident.i.ty they used to enter the sect…

If they pretended to be disciples of the sect, it would be troublesome.

He had to find Lui Xingchen.

Jiang Hao went to the Spirit Herb Garden the next day.

A few ordinary non-cultivators were in the garden. Even when they didn’t have a lack of people at work, these people still came here asking for work. “Senior Brother, this time there are five people,” said Cheng Chou.

“How old are they?” Jiang Hao asked.

“One is twenty years old, and the rest are around fifteen or sixteen years of age,” Cheng Chou said.

Jiang Hao looked at the five people. The first four were ordinary non-cultivators. They looked frail and were dark-skinned.

It was obvious that they were malnourished and were clothed in rags. They probably were dest.i.tute.

They were eager to come here and work. Even if they ended up dead, they hoped for at least a few good meals.

However, some people were worried about their families and would rather starve and send money back home.

Jiang Hao didn’t ask about their situation. Once they were here, there was no way back.

He couldn’t do much for them, except give them a decent wage and help them survive for a while longer.

It didn’t matter whether they resented or respected him. It didn’t matter to him either way.

The last person surprised him. He was a Soul Ascension Realm cultivator.

It was a bold move on the part of the Heavenly Saint Sect to send a Soul Ascension Realm cultivator to spy on Miao Tinglian. He was a fanatic follower of the Holy Master and was here to make way for the Holy Master’s divine soul to manifest.

He was ready to kill everyone here for the Holy Master.

Jiang Hao could understand the risk he was taking. He was a fanatic, after all. The next day, Cheng Chou found him again.

“Senior Brother Jiang, the twenty-year-old young man was found dead yesterday. ”

“Hm… bury him,” Jiang Hao said calmly..
