Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

Chapter 1157: Can His Hands Reach Overseas?

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

At the Cliff of Broken Hearts, in the Spirit Herb Garden, Mu Qi and Miao Tinglian sat on the ground.

They did not go out or make a move.

People came in and went out. No one paid them any mind.

As long as they did not see Jiang Hao in that state, it would not draw any attention.

There were no fluctuations in the aura, so nothing looked amiss unless someone was watching closely.

“Is there really no one watching us?” Miao Tinglian asked.

“The person behind him must be watching, but he won’t act rashly. Let’s wait and see,” Mu Qi said.

Jiang Hao was on the suspect list of the Law Enforcement Hall, but he was not monitored closely.

Only the person behind him must be watching him.

They knew of that person. He was moody and reckless. He might certainly keep an eye on them.

It was best not to let anyone find out about this.

“Is it enlightenment? I feel that it’s a little different from when you achieved it,” Miao Tinglian said softly.

“No matter what it is, it looks like it.” Mu Qi shook his head.

Miao Tinglian felt rather helpless. “Let’s just let it be, then. I found ten women for him. Take a look at this. They’re a bit strange.”

“What?” Mu Qi was puzzled.

“The ten people that I found using the Heavenly Divination Technique… I don’t think they’re suitable for Junior Brother Jiang.” Miao Tinglian began to tell Mu Qi about the ten women she had found.

Some were flirtatious, some were enchanting, some were ugly, and others were plain.

In short, they were all random.

“Don’t you notice anything common among them?” he asked.

“No. What could they have in common?” Miao Tinglian asked in return.

“They all have a lot of spirit stones,” said Mu Qi.

He recalled the past and told Miao Tinglian about how Jiang Hao sold the treasures he collected.

Miao Tinglian was dumbfounded. “Is Junior Brother Jiang a greedy person?”

She could not tell.

At that moment, Jiang Hao felt that he was walking on a road that was originally dark.

However, as he walked, a path appeared under his feet. A light appeared around him.

He felt images blur past him, but he could not see them clearly.

He was only focused on moving forward. He was not afraid of the dark, nor did he stop for the images flitting past.

He wanted to escape the darkness that made people afraid.

But he could not run. He had to walk at his own pace.

He felt that his journey was very difficult, and no one could understand him.

Fortunately, he did not need others to understand him, nor did he care about what others thought of him.

The path was under his feet. His own path might not be visible to others.

He was very lucky. Even if he was in the dark, he did not want to complain.

He did not know what was in the depths of the darkness, nor did he know what the images represented. The only thing he could do was move forward.

This journey seemed endless. It felt like days, months, or even years had passed.

Finally, light appeared in his eyes.

It was at this moment that Jiang Hao, who was like a statue, blinked.

His unfocused gaze found a new focus.

The stars in the sky were dazzling.

This was the first time he felt that the night could be so beautiful.

“Junior Brother Jiang, are you awake?” asked a voice.

Jiang Hao rubbed his eyes and looked in the direction of the voice.

“Senior Brother Mu Qi!” He was surprised.

He looked around and realized that he was in the Spirit Herb Garden.

There was an array formation surrounding him. Presumably, Senior Brother Mu Qi had made it.

“Thank you, Senior Brother, for looking out for me,” he said gratefully.

“It’s been three months. It’s good that you’re awake. We’ve been here for too long. It’s time to go back,” Mu Qi woke Miao Tinglian who had fallen asleep while leaning on his shoulder.

Senior Sister Miao wanted to tell Jiang Hao about the ten women she had found, but Mu Qi pulled her away.

Jiang Hao did not say anything more and just watched them leave.

‘Three months… That means it’s the middle of June!’ He thought.

He sighed and looked at his interface.

[Name: Jiang Hao]

[Age: 46]

[Cultivation: Sixth Stage of the Immortal Ascension Platform]

[Cultivation Method: Heavenly Sound Hundred Revolutions, Hong Meng Heart Sutra]

[Divine Ability: Nine Revolutions Death Substitution (unique), Daily Appraisal, Clear and Pure Heart, Reappearance of Hidden Spirit, Divine Might, Revival of Withered Tree, Heavenly Cauldron, Indestructible Vajra, Myriad Nature Forest]

[Lifeblood: 100/100 (can be cultivated)]

[Cultivation: 99/100 (can be cultivated)]

[Divine Abilities: 1/3 (cannot be obtained)]

‘I should have been able to advance three months ago. It got delayed… It’s alright, I guess.’ He thought.

As for the divine ability fragment, he had picked it up by the side of the river once.

It was pure luck.

It was truly beyond belief that he had found a purple bubble by chance.

However, he was forty-six years old.

He would be fifty soon.

It had been so long that the Saint Bandits might have reached overseas. Gui might have also gained something from her trip.

The Divine Corpse Sect was most likely in the East, and it would not be long before they would reach the Bright Moon Sect.

If he wanted Qu Zhong to do something, he had to contact Xing as soon as possible.

There had been no gatherings recently, so he did not know where the others were.

There were many things to do, but fortunately, nothing unexpected happened.

He did not think too much about it.

Jiang Hao returned to his courtyard after tending the spirit herbs.

The spirit beast and the others had not returned yet. They had been away for quite some time.

However, they were no longer the same as before, so they might be able to handle themselves just fine.

A week later, Jiang Hao picked up a blue bubble.

[Lifeblood: 100/100 (can be cultivated)]

[Cultivation: 100/100 (can be cultivated)]

That night, he chose to advance.

Jiang Hao did not know if it was because of the enlightenment that he had gone through, but he felt that his mind was calm. His cultivation realm also seemed extremely stable.

He could advance at any time.

There were still twenty-four years left until the bid day.

…

Overseas, the meeting of the Twelve Heavenly Kings commenced once again.

This time, all Twelve Heavenly Kings were present.

Everyone looked at Hai Luo.

“Is it that strange to see me here? How can you call yourselves the Twelve Heavenly Kings without me?” Hai Luo chuckled.

“We can just as easily change our name to Eleven Heavenly Kings,” said an old voice.

“What a joke! If you could change it, why would you have waited this long?” Heavenly King Hai Luo sneered.

“Hai Luo, what’s your cultivation realm? It’s been so long. You should have reached the Return to Void Realm by now, right?” asked the female Heavenly King.

“Return to Void Realm? I didn’t even…”

“He’s only at the peak of the Soul Ascension Realm,” Mu Longyu said.

“Haven’t we already found the Saint Bandits? Why hasn’t he reached the Return to Void Realm yet? He’s been back for more than a year. This is too slow,” said someone else.

“Heavenly King Hai Luo’s luck has been damaged. His recovery is worse than expected, but it can’t be helped,” Mu Longyu said helplessly.

Everyone was stunned.

They really had no other choice.

Hai Luo’s luck could not be repaired.

“If the Heavenly King’s Fortune can’t be used, what about the Saint Bandits?” Meng Lanling asked.

“It’s said that there’s a very powerful Saint Bandit overseas. However, he has his own pride and can’t be persuaded.” Mu Longyu frowned.

“He doesn’t want to work with us? What does he want?” King Taomu asked.

“He wants the return of the Saint Bandits,” said Mu Longyu.

Everyone fell silent.

How was that possible?

“Is there no one who can convince him?” someone asked.

“The person from the South said that he had a way to find the Saint Bandits. I wonder if he has a way,” said Mu Longyu.

“Can his hands reach overseas?” someone asked in disbelief.
