Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness Chapter 1083: Shang An Saw A Light

Chapter 1083: Shang An Saw A Light

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After arranging things with Bing Qing, Jiang Hao went back.

He had intended to dig for ores but explaining cultivation to Lin Zhi had taken up too much of his time.

The mine was closed at night, so he could not stay there indefinitely.

He decided to use the Mountain Sea Seal and strengthen the cauldron back home.

As for Bing Qing’s situation, he needed to go to the Lawless Tower to check.

It was not easy to take her out of the mine to the Cliff of Broken Hearts.

He needed a good reason to do that. His Master would not agree.

Back at his house, Jiang Hao took out the cauldron and started using the Mountain Sea Seal.

At the same time, he thought about his current situation.

In the sect, he was still in charge of the Spirit Herb Garden and was also a candidate for the seat of the top disciple. He would soon be challenged.

But that was fine.

If he did not venture out of the sect, it did not matter if people from other sects targeted him.

He still had twenty-three years to live, so he needed to focus mostly on advancing and strengthening the Mountain Sea Seal.

That way, he could buy more time.

He needed to find Ming Yi to get the divine soul from her.

He could do that in the next two months.

What threatened him, at the moment, was Feng Hua and the Fallen immortal Clan.

Feng Hua was unpredictable, and the Fallen Immortal Clan was pursued by the Bright Moon Sect.

The End of All Things was keeping a low profile, so they would not come after him.

But he had to make sure he did not let anyone know that he held three destructive pearls. Otherwise, it would cause a lot of trouble.

He did not care about the matters of the Great Thousand G.o.d Sect.

If he had enough time, he would collect the dragon eggsh.e.l.ls, read up on the records in the scroll, and find the True Dragon to ask about the Archean Abyss Dragon Pearl.

He would then know about Xiao Li’s origin.

Apart from that, there was also the matter of becoming an immortal.

He felt that the only way he could do that was with the help of the Twelve Heavenly Kings, but he could not help them open an immortal path in return.

It was of no use.

Also, he needed to be very careful with the pearls.

Otherwise, disaster was imminent.

Hong Yuye’s matter was not urgent. It had not been long since he had gone out in search of a clue.

After applying enough seals, Jiang Hao took out a Six-Faced Dice.

Tossing that would be considered as completing a part of Hong Yuye’s mission.

He did not know who owned this particular treasure and if it would bring him more misfortune. However, Hong Yuye felt that the owner of this treasure was related to whoever was behind the stone tablets. Jiang Hao decided to toss it once a day.

He did not know what the consequences would be.

There were many tasks ahead, but the most important of them all was earning spirit stones and getting the divine soul.

He needed to restore his cultivation to the middle stage of the Immortal Ascension Platform first.

In the East, the Clear Sky School was nestled in the endless mountain ranges. A vast aura surged.

At the peak of the mountain, a man with an ethereal aura sat cross-legged on the ground.

Suddenly, something alarmed him.

He turned to look. His face was deeply scarred.

He looked toward the edge of the sky and frowned.

“Light? What is in that direction?”

Shang An had focused on his cultivation to become stronger after he returned to the sect.

But the light disturbed him.

He hesitated for a while. Then, he got up and headed toward the mountain ranges.

After a while, he landed in front of a simple bamboo hut and bowed. “I, Disciple Shang An, seek an audience with the Master.”

“Speak,” said a lazy voice from inside.

“I was cultivating when I saw a light in the distance. I thought it came from the West, but now, it seems it’s from further away,” said Shang An.

“Light? What light?” asked the voice.

“I’m not sure…” Shang An shook his head.

“It’s fine. Don’t worry about it. Now that the Great Era War is near, there’ll be strange things appearing everywhere. You just focus on your cultivation. You don’t have much time left,” said the voice.

Shang An lowered his head. “What’s different about the Great Era War and the present?”

“If the ordinary cultivation world is a shallow pond, then the Great Era War will be like a deep pool. It might even be like a lake or an ocean. Do you know what kind of fish exist in a pool, a lake, and an ocean? Many powerful experts will appear. The Great Era War will determine who is the strongest,” said the voice.

Shang An lowered his head in thought.

“Your path to immortality is still quite a distance away. Be careful. Don’t let arrogance cloud your judgment,” said the voice. “Although you have the heart of a sage, the Bright Moon Sect has the one with the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment, the South has the Grand Earth Emperor, and the North has the Seven Extreme Sword Masters. As for the West… there’s no news yet. Apart from that, the Saint Bandits have begun to seize the advantage of innate talent, the Fallen Immortal Clan has regained some of their immortal aura, and the Heavenly Spirit Tribe has changed. The End of All Things has gone quiet. Everyone is preparing for this war.”

“But…” Shang An said softly. “I wanted to visit the Corpse Realm.”

“Sooner or later, you’ll have to but not yet,” said the voice indifferently. “You need to be strong enough to enter it, and even more so if you want to save someone from there. You couldn’t save the one you wanted before. You can’t do that now either. Someone saved your life there before. Do you think someone will save you a second time? Are you willing to let your teacher risk his life for you again?”

“No! I wouldn’t dare!” Shang An bowed.

How could he let his teacher suffer for his sake?

“It’s okay,” said the voice. “I was just teasing you. You have had a difficult life. Go and cultivate. I’ll inform the Sect master about the light you saw.”

Shang An looked in the direction of the light once again. “Master, it seems to have become brighter.”

After that, he walked away.

After Shang An left, a laid-back woman in a pink dress walked out of the hut.

“Light?” She frowned. “Where is the light coming from?”

Meanwhile, in the West, Chu Jie looked at the corpse of a strange beast.

The beast had been dead for a while now, but it emitted an immortal aura.

“It is no wonder people often lose their way here. It must be because of this aura,” mumbled Chu Jie to the Moon Wheel. “I wonder if I can make the aura dissipate. If I can, it will give rise to a great opportunity. Maybe someone will pa.s.s by here and use the opportunity.”

These opportunities that she found along the way had no use on her. She could only use it to train herself.

Suddenly, she felt another strange aura.

She turned toward the sky. “It’s coming from… overseas? What’s happening over there?”

After some thought, she penned a letter.

Then, with the help of the Moon Wheel’s power, she sent it out.

It would reach a place in the West, from where it would be delivered to her destination.

She stopped paying attention to the strange phenomenon and tried to deal with the aura from the beast.

Around the end of October, Bi Zhu sat on her bed and waited for Gu Changsheng to appear.

She did not have anything to ask. She just wanted him to know that her blazing luck was gone.

The Heavenly Extreme Dream Pearl was taken care of.

Last time, Gu Changsheng left abruptly. This time, maybe he would stay and talk since the matter with the Heavenly Extreme Dream Pearl was settled.

Someone else was taking care of the destructive pearls. Otherwise, she would have left the South long ago.

It seemed that one mishap could end everything in the South.

“Why isn’t he here yet?”
