Chapter 729: Breaking through to the Immortal Ascension Platform

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation       Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Shang An was still obsessed with the Charm G.o.ddess.

Jiang Hao wasn’t surprised, but Shang An didn’t blame others for his own obsession.

He did what he believed was right and allowed others to do the same.

“Is it really worth using your life in exchange for her freedom?” Jiang Hao asked.

Shang An had almost lost his life in exchange for the Charm G.o.ddess’ freedom.

Shang An looked up at the sky and smiled. “Of course, it’s worth it.”

“Really?” Jiang Hao still didn’t understand. He didn’t share Shang An’s thoughts and feelings.

In his view, it wasn’t worth it.

“Are you going to try to save her again?” Jiang Hao asked.

“I can’t get in anymore.” Shang An shook his head and sighed. “I can’t enter the Corpse Realm anymore. The last time was my final chance. So, even if I had to risk my life, I wanted to save Little Mei, but in the end, I failed.”

He couldn’t enter anymore?

Jiang Hao was surprised. Was it due to his cultivation or his condition?

It seemed to be an issue of his current state.

Now, he was overflowing with momentum and on the brink of breaking through the Immortal Ascension Platform.

The light of a sage illuminated all around him, and it couldn’t be suppressed anymore. His only choice was to move upward. He couldn’t go back down.

“Have you given up?” Jiang Hao asked curiously.

“I haven’t,” Shang An said while looking up. His voice was calm. “I won’t give up.”

“I kicked her back into the cave, and that mountain disappeared,” Jiang Hao said.

Shang An hadn’t seen what had happened after, but he should have been informed.

“I know.” Shang An nodded. “I always knew. You’ve already been very kind. I also know you might have thought of giving her a chance. Little Mei loves causing trouble. I know you have been conflicted about everything until now. In the future, if you decide to take her life, I’ll understand that there must be a reason. I’ll understand.”

Jiang Hao looked at him and had a question he wanted to ask. If the Charm G.o.ddess was somehow free, but she kept provoking other powerful individuals, what would Shang An do?

Although he was curious, he didn’t ask. Such things might not happen at all. There was no need to trouble Shang An with these thoughts or force him to provide answers.

“Feelings are truly complicated,” Jiang Hao murmured.

“Yes, very complicated. But I truly like her,” Shang An said.

After a moment of hesitation, he asked, “Do you have someone you like?”

“No.” Jiang Hao shook his head.

“What about someone you’re close to?” Shang An asked again.

“Close to?” Jiang Hao turned to look at him. “What defines being close?”

“Spending time together, experiencing various feelings when you are with her, going out together, and noticing the changes in that person. Most importantly, being with her, even in silence, doesn’t make you uncomfortable,” Shang An said seriously.

He spoke with a smile in his voice as if he recalled something joyful.

Jiang Hao frowned as he could only think of one such person: a woman in a red and white dress.

But he didn’t think too much about it.

He just lowered his head and remained silent.

Shang An glanced at him but didn’t bring up the topic again.

The wind blew past.

There was no sense of urgency. They both sat there and enjoyed the serenity.

The wind ruffled Shang An’s black robe, and his calm voice was carried by the breeze.

“I may have made you uncomfortable just now.”

“Just now?” Jiang Hao asked.

“When I came to see you. It seemed like you don’t like to draw attention,” Shang An said apologetically.

“That’s true. It made me feel a bit uneasy.” Jiang Hao nodded.

If he attracted a lot of attention because of that, it would be troublesome.

No one had paid attention to him before, but now they might.

Although he could resolve it, it was still an unnecessary disaster.

“I didn’t know. I thought it might make things easier for you later on,” Shang An said.

That was indeed true. Attention from a powerful figure could resolve many issues.

However, there was still the risk of some ignorant ones trying to be reckless and trying something offensive.

That would be unnecessary trouble.

“At first, I wanted to give you a gift, but now, it seems I can’t give it to you directly.” Shang An looked at Jiang Hao. “If you’re willing, I can still give it to you privately. It’s a kind of powerful opportunity. It will attract quite some attention. You’ll also be seen by many people.”

“If I don’t accept it, what will you do with it?” Jiang Hao asked.

“I’ll give it to the Heavenly Note Sect to use as they see fit. The amount one can comprehend will depend on individual apt.i.tude, but it won’t be as good as receiving it individually,” Shang An said.

He then waited for Jiang Hao’s decision.

In truth, Jiang Hao didn’t need the opportunity, but since Shang An wanted to give it to him, he couldn’t refuse.

Sometimes, gifts had to be accepted.

“Alright.” Jiang Hao nodded. “I’ll choose the latter option.” “Don’t you find it to be a waste?” Shang An seemed surprised.

Jiang Hao shook his head.

It wasn’t a waste. It was the best option. If Han Ming could gain some understanding and get closer to being the top disciple, it would be even better.

“You are truly generous.” Shang An stood up and looked at the sky. “I’m going now. ”

“Back to the Clear Sky School?” Jiang Hao stood up.

“Yes. I’m going back to cultivate and reach a realm where I can forcefully enter the Corpse Realm to save Little Mei as soon as possible.” Shang An’s eyes were filled with determination.

Jiang Hao sighed in his heart. Shang An was still trying to find a way to save the Charm G.o.ddess. Perhaps it wasn’t that she was special, but rather, she had entered Shang An’s life when he was at his most vulnerable.

After that, she had comforted him, and now, he couldn’t let go of her. It was even more tragic that the Charm G.o.ddess was sealed away, and the two were separated.

“Are you leaving now?” Jiang Hao asked.

“Yes, right now. I’ve met the people I wanted to see and asked the questions I needed to. I am now done. It’s time to go. I can’t stay in one place anymore,” Shang An said with a smile.

At that moment, the radiance emanating from him was exceptionally prominent.

Jiang Hao had a strange feeling. Shang An was like a dazzling sun.

“Do you know that I’m about to break through the Immortal Ascension Platform? Do you know what that means?” Shang An looked at Jiang Hao.

He shook his head.

“Then do you know what’s in front of the Immortal Road?” Shang An’s tone remained as calm as ever.

“The Immortal Ascension Stairway?” Jiang Hao hesitated.

“Yes. The Immortal Ascension Stairway.” Shang An took a step into the air.

With a single step, the Immortal Ascension Stairway appeared beneath his feet.

“The Immortal Ascension Realm has a total of nine levels. The first eight are ordinary,” Shang An said and took another few steps. He was now at the final level.

Jiang Hao watched him in awe.

At that moment, he felt as though Shang An was about to break through the Immortal Ascension Platform right in front of him..
