Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

Chapter 1503: Chapter 1306: What Kind of Person is She?

Upon the mountain peak.

Heavenly Note Sect stood by the pond, gazing into the water.

At that moment, four lotus flowers were in bloom, with the silhouette of a person at the center, almost invisible, representing the will of strength, their features unclear.

Opposite him were three more lotus flowers, the first and second unoccupied.

Jiang Hao sat upon the third.

Their conversation could be heard clearly by those standing outside the pond.

At this time, Heavenly Note Sect did nothing but listen to the conversation inside.

Jiang Hao wasn’t overly concerned; he simply looked at the person before him.

He didn’t hide anything in response to the other’s questions, “The junior came for the Ruins of Return.”

“Just the Ruins of Return?” the figure inquired.

After a moment’s thought, Jiang Hao replied, “It should be for the power that resides on top of the Ruins of Return.”

“There have been three people who came here; the first and the second were almost the same, just casually looking around.

“But when it comes to you, you need the power of the Ruins of Return.

“It seems you’ve encountered quite a lot,” the silhouette said with a smile.

“Yes, I’ve faced many things,” Jiang Hao nodded in agreement.

“Can you first briefly describe what you’ve experienced from your youth up until now? It doesn’t need to be too detailed, just enough to reflect the general era,” the figure paused before continuing, “You may call me Helpless Heaven.”

Helpless Heaven, Jiang Hao was somewhat surprised.

Then he must be the Heavenly Extreme Emperor.

“My experience from a young age?” Jiang Hao pondered for a moment before saying:

“There’s nothing extraordinary.. I started cultivating when I was five years old and reached the Foundation Establishment Stage at nineteen.”

“That pace is somewhat slow,” Helpless Heaven said with a laugh.

“Indeed it is, my innate talents were average, and my present cultivation level is mostly due to good fortune,” Jiang Hao nodded in agreement.

“Continue, you don’t need to worry about anything. I am but a dead man, the will that I’ve left behind will disappear after using the Ruins of Return, and your secrets will remain secrets with me forever,” Helpless Heaven said with a smile.

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Hao continued, “I’ve always been cultivating within my sect. Although I’ve encountered some events, they were mostly unrelated to the cultivation world. The first time it was related would probably be the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl, when I was still very young.”

“The Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl?” Helpless Heaven was somewhat taken aback, “Such an ominous creature’s birth must have been extremely dangerous, right?”

“Yes,” Jiang Hao nodded gravely, “It was indeed dangerous. I nearly died at the hands of a powerful being, but fortunately, I survived, and the pearl remained unharmed.”

Upon hearing this, Helpless Heaven was even more surprised, “What do you mean? You fought against a powerful being, and then the risk of the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl disappeared?”

“The other party wanted to activate the seal, and I managed to seal it just in time,” Jiang Hao nodded and said.

Helpless Heaven was silent for a while before saying, “Continue.”

“Many things indeed happened afterward. The Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment appeared, The Sage’s Heart was revealed, and some hidden powerhouses gradually broke free from their seals.

“If we were to speak of something that affected the entire world, it must be the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl on the verge of breaking free from its seal,” Jiang Hao reflected for a moment before saying:

“It was more dangerous than before, and only after the combined efforts of the four major sects did I have the chance to seal the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl, sustaining severe injuries in the process.”

Helpless Heaven’s brow furrowed slightly as he fell silent once again before asking, “Was there a long gap during these events?”

“Quite long,” Jiang Hao nodded.

“That seems more normal; countless people fall along the way over endless years… You’ve lived long enough,” Helpless Heaven said with a smile.

“Yes, dozens of years have passed, which for someone who doesn’t practice cultivation, would be half a lifetime,” Jiang Hao nodded and said.

Upon hearing this, Helpless Heaven’s expression did not change, but the whole pond paused momentarily before he finally spoke: “Continue.”

“Things that followed weren’t as exaggerated, but I did encounter a major event—the birth of the Heavenly Extreme Dream Pearl, which was also extremely dangerous. I had to enter the gates of the new world at that time.

“It was a narrow escape for the junior,” Jiang Hao sighed, “It was a close victory; otherwise, I would have been trapped in the new world forever.

“As for ideologies, I am far from matching Long Tian. He wished to create a new world, which is not inherently right or wrong.

“It just didn’t accord with my interests, so I had no choice but to seal his new world.”

As his words fell, Helpless Heaven remained silent.

After a long while, he finally spoke, “So, you’ve sealed three Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearls?”

“Yes,” Jiang Hao nodded.

“Are the three Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearls with you now?” Helpless Heaven asked again.

Jiang Hao shook his head, and just as Helpless Heaven was about to relax, he continued,

“Because I faced a threat, I crushed the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl and used it.

“At this point, I can only control two.”

Helpless Heaven looked at the person before him, his eyebrows deeply knitted.

He was somewhat tempted to ask the person in front of him what he meant with his words.

Faced with a threat, he crushed and used a Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl.

Used it?

This thing actually had such a use.

“That’s enlightening,” Helpless Heaven commented.

“The junior has caused the senior to laugh,” Jiang Hao said with a bow of his head.

“Three Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearls and one more I’ve never heard of… It seems your long life has been filled with hardships,” Helpless Heaven remarked.

“Indeed,” Jiang Hao nodded and said with feeling, “In nearly a century, the junior has experienced far too much.”

Helpless Heaven nodded but suddenly frowned and asked, “How many years?”

“Nearly a hundred years,” Jiang Hao replied.

Helpless Heaven’s brow furrowed even more.

For a moment, the water in the pond fell quiet.

Unable to help himself, Jiang Hao called out, “Senior?”

With that, Helpless Heaven finally spoke, “So, you’ve come to seek me out because of the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl?”

“Yes,” Jiang Hao nodded, “I need the senior’s help to seal the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl.”
