Chapter 1277: Evolving The Path To Immortality
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When he opened his eyes, Jiang Hao a.s.sessed his cultivation.
He had improved quite a bit, but that wasn’t the main point. It was that he had comprehended the Dao.
The immortal energy was completely different from before. The aura of power was much stronger.
Moreover, he could sense that his cultivation points were sufficient for him to be able to successfully advance to the middle stage of the True Immortal Realm.
What he lacked was time.
When he got up, he retracted the scattered aura around him.
When he entered meditation, he emitted immortal power to cover the surroundings to prevent disturbances.
At that moment, there were some dead demonic beasts around.
They must have died while attacking him recklessly.
Then, he looked at the purple anthill.
Although he did not know what it was, it clearly was not something ordinary.
It reminded him of the Path of Forgetfulness.
The Path of Forgetfulness, the Path of Ruthlessness, and the Path of Emotionlessness might be the easiest Dao for immortals to comprehend. But how far one could go was unknown.
The Path of Forgetfulness might be the farthest one could go.
“If one cannot comprehend other paths, would those in the early stage of the True Immortal Realm be forced to walk the Path of Forgetfulness or Ruthlessness?”
True Immortals were emotionless.
Jiang Hao had a moment of doubt.
However, there was no one to answer him.
“Daily Appraisal.”
Jiang Hao used his divine ability to appraise the anthill to see what it really was.
The purple ore might be related to it.
[Longevity Fruit: At the beginning of the primordial chaos, a tree was born in the world. After many years, it grew tall. The tree bore three fruits, which fell to the ground along with some of its branches. This is one of those fruits. After endless ages, the fruit began to evolve on the path to longevity. The spring of life in the mine, the treasures, and the demon beasts are all evolutionary products. Consuming the fruit can help comprehend some Dao insights and observing it may lead to an understanding of immortality.]
Jiang Hao was a little surprised to see the divine ability’s feedback.
It was a Longevity Fruit!
“This is strange… Why did I comprehend the Path of Forgetfulness, then?”
Was the Path of Forgetfulness also related to immortality?
Jiang Hao was puzzled.
He did not think too much about it.
He was still on a mission. He did not know how much time had pa.s.sed while he was comprehending the Dao, and he was concerned about the mission’s progress.
If it was over, that would be troublesome.
He then extended his hand and activated Universe in A Palm.
Purple energy circulated and collected the Longevity fruit. It would continue to evolve.
He could observe it when he had time, which might help with future Dao comprehension.
After becoming an immortal, he needed to comprehend the Dao, and such treasures would be necessary.
Moreover, this was somewhat similar to the description of the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower. He wondered if it could produce bubbles.
If it was possible, it could allow him to acc.u.mulate his cultivation points faster.
After collecting the Longevity Fruit, Jiang Hao left the mineral vein and returned to the cave.
Sensing his surroundings, he frowned.
Bai Ye and the others were not deep inside but at the edge of the mine. Besides Bai Ye, the other two with him were seriously injured.
“It’s not an injury caused by demonic beasts.”
Jiang Hao understood that a lot had happened during his Dao comprehension.
It must have occurred when they left the mine.
He had killed people from the Fallen Moon Sect, so they would naturally retaliate.
“The consequences are more serious than expected. If I had known, I would have killed one more person.”
Normally, if he were around, their team would not have faced such challenges.
However, he had fallen into an epiphany and wasted a lot of time.
This was completely unexpected.
He needed to make proper arrangements in the future.
At the edge of the Primordial Spirit Realm mine, Duan Tiancheng spat out a mouthful of blood. “I didn’t expect there to be treasures in the mine,” he said furiously. “These self-proclaimed righteous people want to kill us! The people of the Fallen Moon Sect rely on their bewitching skills and the help they called in to join them in their evil ways. If it weren’t for the fact that there are too many people, I would have killed those women long ago!”
Lu Baiye said weakly, “Right now, we are no match for them at all. If we go out, we will definitely die. We can’t stay in this mine forever. Those demonic beasts will go berserk, and we’ll eventually run out of strength. Then, it will be death whether we go out or stay in.”
“It’s a pity that Junior Brother Jiang isn’t here.” Bai Ye lowered his eyebrows.
“Where did he go? He’s neither inside nor outside. Could he have been killed by a demon beast?” Lu Baiye asked.
Bai Ye shook his head. “He couldn’t have been killed. He must be somewhere in the mine.”
Actually, they had searched everywhere, but found nothing, as if he had vanished from the world.
“It’s been two months. The leader has been missing for so long. I’m beginning to worry that something bad must have happened to him.” Lu Baiye sighed.
It had been a tough time for them.
“We can hold on for a while longer, but the four from the Foundation Establishment and Golden Core Realm are seriously injured. They are hiding in the cave, but they will eventually die if we don’t find a way to deal with this.” Duan Tiancheng looked at Bai Ye. “Junior Brother, do you have a way? We’ve fought with them for so long, but you’re still not ready?”
“This is a mine. Without enough spirit herbs, I can do nothing.” Bai Ye shook his head. “If it were just targeting a single individual, it would be fine, but dealing with so many scattered people is difficult. Moreover, they are also poisoned, but we are too weak for the poison to have much effect.”
After all, he was only at the early stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm. It was not easy for him to even protect himself.
“Even if we survive, the mission will fail sooner or later. If we lose the compet.i.tion, what will happen to us?” Lu Baiye suddenly asked.
They had not thought about that.
They had a.s.sumed they would surely win.
But…
Who could have antic.i.p.ated such unforeseen challenges?
“Don’t worry,” said Bai Ye rea.s.suringly. “Our chances are still high. Junior Brother Jiang should be back soon.”
Duan Tiancheng did not believe him. Bai Ye had said that many times before.
However, just as he was about to suggest something practical, footsteps echoed from the cave.
This sudden change made the three of them alert.
Was it a demonic beast?
But the steady footsteps did not sound like a demonic beast’s.
Moreover, the demonic beasts usually attacked in groups. It was definitely a person.
The three of them instantly felt a little hopeful.
However, they did not dare relax. Who knew if there were other two-legged demonic beasts in the mine?
It was only when a figure appeared in their field of vision that Bai Ye and the others heaved a sigh of relief.
A young man in his early twenties, dressed in a dark blue robe, walked out of the darkness with a long sword in his hand.
His face was calm, like a still lake. The divine light of his aura was not very obvious, but it held power. The others could not look away.
“Junior Brother Jiang!” said Bai Ye excitedly. “You’re back!”
“I accidentally fell into a trap but managed to survive,” said Jiang Hao apologetically. “Apologies for making you wait. What happened to you?”
Bai Ye did not hide anything. He told Jiang Hao about the attack, the treasure in the mine, and everything else that had transpired.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Hao was more concerned about their injured team members than the treasure. He asked about Zheng Shijiu and the others.
“Three of the four Golden Core Realm cultivators are heavily injured. Junior Brother Zheng can barely stand, and he was poisoned by the people of the Fallen Moon Sect,” said Bai Ye. “The four Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators are unable to move and are barely surviving in the mine. I don’t know how long they can hold on.”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Hao lowered his head and asked, “How many people are outside?”
“There are three at the peak of the Primordial Spirit Realm, but they aren’t very powerful. One specializes in enchantment techniques, one specializes in physical techniques, and one specializes in using poison.” Duan Tiancheng thought for a moment and continued, “These are the known ones. There might be more behind the scenes. Also, there are six in the late stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm.”
Jiang Hao nodded. “Alright, wait here for a moment. I’ll be right back.”
