Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness Chapter 1186: Demoness: Where Did You Go Overseas? (2)

Chapter 1186: Demoness: Where Did You Go Overseas? (2)

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Jade Cloud Pavilion was especially tolerant toward the patrons of the ninth floor.

That was reasonable.

However, the two people frowned as they tried to wipe the words.

They could not erase it.

Even if they used all their cultivation and lifeforce, it would be difficult to wipe them.

“What’s wrong?” Miss Hu asked.

The two of them stopped. “We can’t wipe it off. This person isn’t an ordinary person. We’ll have to find someone else to wipe it off.”

“Who?” Miss Hu was curious.

“People from the Heavenly Tower,” one of the black-robed men said.

Miss Hu was shocked.

Was it really necessary to disturb the people of the Heavenly Tower to wipe some words off the pillar?

The cultivation of these two people was powerful, and they had countless treasures.

Could they not try again before seeking help from the Heavenly Tower?

“Perhaps you don’t understand it, but we must ask the people from the Heavenly Tower. Who left these words? Did they give a name?” asked the black-robed man.

“That person told me that if someone from the Heavenly Tower came to wipe the words away, Shan Qinghe should be told that the person’s last name is ‘Gu.’”

…

In the courtyard of the Heavenly Note Sect, Jiang Hao let out a long, drawn breath.

He was finally back.

He had gone out for quite a long time this time, and most matters had been taken care of.

After this, he would have to do his best to improve himself and ascend to the final stage of the Immortal Ascension Platform.

He had to try his best to give himself enough time.

So far, he was running out of time.

The Mountain Sea Seal was especially important.

If its effect was not significant, he would have to find the Holy Master again.

If he was about to die, it should not be too much to ask for a divine soul and some spirit stones.

His cultivation still needed improvement.

The other warehouse was temporarily inaccessible, so he could only visit another place.

With so many warehouses, it should be enough for him to improve.

If it was not, he would find a mine.

In the past, he had lacked time but not as much as he did now.

Before, as long as he quietly waited for the days to pa.s.s, he could gradually become stronger.

But this time, he could not wait. A day pa.s.sed was a day lost.

Fortunately, there was nothing much left for him to do.

The Great Thousand G.o.d Sect had done their best and the matters overseas had also come to an end.

All that was left was to wait. He had to wait to learn more things and to visit other places.

It was a good thing that he had established a connection with the Holy Master. It had reduced a lot of trouble.

It was just that the Black Dragon was another problem.

He needed to deal with it soon.

Just as he was debating about whether he should talk to the Black Dragon, he suddenly sensed that there was someone outside.

It was Junior Brother Han Ming.

Without hesitation, he walked out.

As expected, Junior Brother Han Ming had visited with a sword.

His steps were steady, and his aura was restrained. When he walked over, he was like a sword that broke through the spiritual energy and stirred up a wave of power.

He was at the peak of the Gold Core Realm.

He was so strong. His aura was impressive.

Jiang Hao smiled at him. “Junior Brother Han, it’s been so long.”

Han Ming was now in his forties. He was no longer as young and impulsive as before. He was calm and composed.

Jiang Hao had watched him grow.

He was more like a sword cultivator at the moment. This kind of sword’s intent was no longer something that ordinary people could compare to.

With a sword and a guiding teacher, Junior Brother Han Ming’s cultivation had soared.

Furthermore, someone at the peak of the Golden Core Realm surpa.s.sed so many others and was eligible for the seat of the top disciple.

Han Ming looked at Jiang Hao and said politely, “This time, I’m here to challenge you as well as compete for the seat of the top disciple.”

“Of course,” said Jiang Hao. “Right here?”

“Alright.” Han Ming nodded.

They had always competed here.

The impact would not be so great. In the past, he had defeated Han Ming in three moves.

This time, he was confident that he could defeat him with just one.

“Junior Brother, please go ahead.” Jiang Hao took out the Half-Moon Blade.

“Senior Brother, you go first,” Han Ming said proudly.

“Me?” Jiang Hao chuckled. “Alright. Since you’re being so kind, I can’t refuse.”

“Senior Brother, you’re so carefree. After today, I hope you’ll focus more on your cultivation,” said Han Ming.

After today, Han Ming wanted to be addressed as a “Senior Brother.”

“I can’t be compared to you in any aspect, Junior Brother. You’re blessed by the heavens. Your cultivation is strong. You have outstanding opportunities. I can’t really compare anyhow,” said Jiang Hao.

“Let’s begin,” Han Ming said.

“Junior Brother, be careful,” said Jiang Hao as he held onto his Half-Moon Blade.

Soon after, the weapons collided.

Clang!

The Half-Moon Blade was still unsheathed. There was a flash, and Jiang Hao disappeared.

Han Ming’s figure also disappeared.

Clang!

Light and shadow clashed.

Sword intent swept through, and the blade light danced.

At this moment, the two figures appeared on the water’s surface.

Boom!

The water exploded.

Then, they disappeared again.

Jiang Hao appeared on the opposite bank of the river and swung his blade for the third time.

It was just an ordinary slash.

The sword’s intent dispersed under his blade.

The blade landed on Han Ming’s shoulder.

The blade’s light did not stop there. It slashed at the surrounding ground.

Boom!

Sand and stones flew.

A trench dozens of meters deep appeared on the ground.

Han Ming’s hand that was holding the sword dropped.

He felt the chill of the blade’s edge on his neck. He was in disbelief.

“P-Primordial Spirit Realm?”

No matter how prepared he was, he had not expected Jiang Hao to break through to the Primordial Spirit Realm.

“I went out for a while and got lucky.” Jiang Hao put away his blade and smiled.

Han Ming tightly gripped the sword in his hand.

In the end, he snorted coldly and turned to leave.

After so many years, Jiang Hao was quite curious about whether Han Ming’s temperament had changed.

He activated the appraisal.

Soon, he obtained feedback that was similar to before.

However, Han Ming had already condensed his Sword Heart.

It showed how extraordinary he was.

It was no wonder his sword’s intent was invincible.

However, Jiang Hao had only won by a realm, so it would not affect him much.

Unfortunately, Junior Brother Han Ming did not believe that Jiang Hao ascended realms just by luck alone.

Jiang Hao could only shrug and smile.

After repairing his surroundings, he returned to his courtyard.

In a few days, Junior Brother Han Ming would become a candidate for the top disciple position at the peak of the Golden Core Realm category.

He had to look for the one at the early stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm to vie for the position.

There was no need to be too loud about it. He would do it discreetly.

He just needed a witness.

He required the help of the Law Enforcement Hall and wondered how Liu Xingchen was doing.

If he was still around, he could ask Liu Xingchen to oversee the procedure.

Sitting under the Immortal Peach Tree, Jiang Hao plucked a peach and took a bite.

No one had stolen it yet.

“It’s fine. They’ll leave the mountain in the future.”

Be it the spirit beast or Xiao Li, they would have to walk their own paths.

Lin Zhi and Chu Chuan were the same.

Chu Chuan had taken the first step, so it would not take long for the others to catch up.

While eating the peaches, Jiang Hao decided to take out the Black Dragon from his storage treasure.

“Is it sweet?” asked a voice.

There was a familiar fragrance in the air.

Jiang Hao got up and saw a woman in a red and white dress looking up at the peach tree.

Jiang Hao nodded. “Xiao Li was here earlier.”

“Is that so?” Hong Yuye turned to Jiang Hao. “Aren’t you lonely when you’re alone?”

Jiang Hao shook his head. “I used to be like this, and I might be like this in the future. So, I don’t really feel lonely.”

Hong Yuye looked at him and chuckled. “When will it end?”

Jiang Hao lowered his head.

He was still running for his life. How could he see that far?

He had to deal with this first.

He did not speak.

Hong Yuye did not ask anything further and sat down. “You advanced?”

“Yes.” Jiang Hao nodded. “Junior Brother Han Ming came over. After sparring with him, I felt a change. I broke through the peak of the Golden Core Realm and successfully stepped into the early stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm.”

“At the Primordial Spirit Realm at forty-six, you’re also a candidate for the position of top disciple. It seems you’re quite talented.” Hong Yuye chuckled.

“Thanks to your blessing, Senior, I advanced a little faster.” Jiang Hao lowered his head.

Hong Yuye ignored his words. “If you continue to advance like this, you might even be able to compete for the first rank in a few years. Perhaps then you can find out if your Sect master is still alive.”

“I don’t really want to know,” said Jiang Hao, and sighed. “An expert of that level would be too dangerous. Some things are better left unknown.”

Hong Yuye chuckled. Then, she asked, “You went overseas?”

“Yes. I was there to investigate some matters for you, Senior.” Jiang Hao nodded.

“Is that so?” Hong Yuye looked at him. “Where exactly did you go?”

Jiang Hao said truthfully, “I went to a cave and found a Black Dragon.”

“And?” Hong Yuye asked.

Jiang Hao was puzzled. Wasn’t the dragon supposed to be the focus?
