——–

Under the moonlight, a gentle breeze blew softly.

Jiang Hao stood on the balcony, looking at the person in front of him.

He felt the weather carried a chill.

Regarding the words of Heavenly Note Sect, he found it difficult to find the right response.

So he maintained his silence.

“How old are you?” Heavenly Note Sect suddenly asked.

As she spoke, she was no longer looking at Jiang Hao.

Instead, she sat on a chair on the balcony, gazing at the sky outside.

Jiang Hao didn't hesitate; he continued to help brush off water droplets from her hair, casually saying, “One hundred and forty.”

“One hundred and forty? You've reached Return to Void Realm?” Heavenly Note Sect asked curiously.

“Yes, just recently achieved it,” Jiang Hao answered.

His cultivation speed was determined by the ninth top disciple.

As that person improved, he followed suit.

Yet he was always one realm behind.

Now the ninth had reached the early stage of Immortal Ascension.

Indeed, the pace was swift.

None before the top positions were ordinary.

Now, among the ten top disciples, only he remained in Return to Void.

“With such innate talents, do you have anything to say?” Heavenly Note Sect asked.

“In truth, reaching this realm was largely thanks to the senior,” Jiang Hao spoke.

Hearing this, Heavenly Note Sect turned her head back in surprise.

Jiang Hao looked at her without averting his gaze.

“Why?” Heavenly Note Sect was curious.

“Without the senior's help, it would have been impossible for me to advance so quickly,” Jiang Hao said.

Upon hearing this, Heavenly Note Sect let out a cold laugh and turned away.

Jiang Hao continued to help her brush away the water droplets.

“Who taught you to lie?” Heavenly Note Sect asked offhandedly.

“The senior jokes; it's all for survival, just expressed in a different way,” Jiang Hao said.

“Is survival still difficult for you now?” Heavenly Note Sect reclined in the chair and said:

“Now you, as the top disciple of the Heavenly Note Sect, are greeted with respect as 'Senior Brother' by everyone who sees you.

“Most of those who slandered or misunderstood you have come to understand you.

“Now, you are an existence revered and even worshiped by everyone.

“Is it still the same kind of life as before?”

“That's true, but there are always stronger beings who tend to notice me.

“My current cultivation is still notable within Heavenly Note Sect, but what about on a larger scale?

“Southern region, eastern region, western region, northern region, overseas.

“Each individual race.

“There are many, many people with cultivation like mine.

“Amidst the ages, what is never lacking is talent and strength.

“I am merely one stone that shines in the endless passage of time,” Jiang Hao said as he continued to brush away the droplets.

After a brief moment, her water-fall like hair cascaded down.

With Jiang Hao watching, Heavenly Note Sect simply tied her hair up.

This scene left Jiang Hao stunned in place.

Only when she looked back did he modestly lower his eyes.

Enchantments, definitely enchantments.

Heavenly Note Sect said nothing else but asked Jiang Hao to come over and brew tea.

“Do you intend to hide here forever?” Heavenly Note Sect looked at Jiang Hao and said, “With such high talent and having seen the pinnacle of this world, are you really content to hide in this place?

“Not to experience the achievements that come from the peak of immortality?”

Jiang Hao shook his head, saying:

“Such achievements may be tempting, but it's too complex.

“I am a simple person.

“Ordinary in wit, with no grand ambitions.

“I can't outcalculate others, nor can I be more patient than them.

“Perhaps I've been a bit luckier, but it's best to show off that luck by hiding it.

“Once I go out, I will not have the same radiance as within Heavenly Note Sect.

“Out there, the favored and blessed sons of heaven shine even brighter.

“Their boldness, their confidence, their gaze.

“It's all breathtakingly divine.

“So I'd rather not go out and embarrass myself.”

Jiang Hao was telling the truth; his cultivation pace was indeed faster than some.

But that was all.

He did not possess the heart for the world, the boldness to let go of self.

And individuals like the Human Emperor, all without exception, were people with enormous boldness and might.

Not something a mere fast cultivator like himself could compare to.

Heavenly Note Sect looked at the person before her, eventually picked up her teacup, took a sip, and casually remarked, “The scenery of the Heavenly Note Sect is also quite nice.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Hao nodded slightly, “The senior speaks the truth.”

While drinking tea, time slowly passed.

Jiang Hao realized it was almost that night.

He then took out the stone pieces.

He informed Heavenly Note Sect and then his spirit entered them.

After entering, he saw the familiar few people.

But every time he saw Yi, it felt a bit incongruous.

A new person not yet accustomed.

Of course, the rest were still relatively familiar with each other.

They occasionally chatted inside.

Yi, from the Li Clan, knew very little about the outside world, but Gui was quite enthusiastic, introducing him to many things.

And Yi revealed that he had untethered himself from the restrictions of his Cultivation Method.

No longer bound by past impediments, but still unsure how to pass on the method to his clan.

To this, Gui suggested simply leaving it somewhere, passing the problem to whoever found it.

Liu thought it was a way to improve status, with the only difficulty being the explanation of its origin.

In the end, Yi made a decision.

He threw it away.

When Jiang Hao saw this, he was quite impressed.

To avoid attracting attention while still wanting to aid his kin, throwing it was indeed a good choice.

That way, the problem wouldn't fall back on himself.

Of course, Zhang had an opinion too; throwing out just one wouldn't work.

It might be hoarded selfishly, among other issues.

Unless the finder was a person of good heart.

So, for safety's sake, dispersing dozens would be better.

The stars suggested that books could easily reveal their origin, so hunting and using spirit beast's skin would be more untraceable.

Jiang Hao felt these people were kind-hearted and showed great interest in Yi's matter.

It seemed they didn't find this sense of achievement elsewhere.
