Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

Chapter 1647



Chapter 1647: Chapter 1376: Pregnant?_2 Chapter 1647: Chapter 1376: Pregnant?_2 Gui: “Thirteen years, ever since that battle thirteen years ago, I haven't had a peaceful night's sleep.”

Liu: “Changes overseas are indeed significant, but it's said that the fighting will soon reach deep within, and within a few years, everything overseas will gradually stabilize.”

Jiang Hao watched them chatting, knowing that the Dao fruit was still overseas.

He just didn't know who would ultimately obtain it.

But it didn't matter who ended up with it, since integrating it would take hundreds of years, and these people would most likely need to return to rest.

Only then could he enjoy a few hundred years of stability.

As for others,

No matter whether they were True Immortals, Heavenly Immortals, or Absolute Immortals, ascending to the peak of Absolute Immortals could not be achieved in just a few hundred years.

Epochal conflict is not just a matter of a few centuries.

So, a single Dao fruit could give him ample time.

All that was left was to wait patiently.

However, the delayed return of the dragon race was, in fact, good news.

The next day,

Leaving the courtyard, Jiang Hao arrived at the Spirit Herb Garden.

Seeing him return, Cheng Chou was quite excited.

Although he could now handle all affairs of the Spirit Herb Garden,

Having Jiang Hao present was a completely different feeling.

“Senior Brother,” Cheng Chou greeted respectfully.

“Has the ninth top disciple advanced?” Jiang Hao asked curiously.

“Not yet, it's said that he still needs quite some time to advance,” Cheng Chou answered.

“Has anyone come looking for me?” Jiang Hao walked into the Spirit Herb Garden.

“Yes, Senior Brother Liu Xingchen came looking for you. After knowing you were in seclusion, he left. That was probably five years ago,” Cheng Chou pondered for a moment:

“Apart from that, Senior Sister Miao Tinglian often asked whether you had come out of seclusion.

“She always came with Senior Brother Mu Qi.”

Jiang Hao nodded.

Liu Xingchen had come looking again; he wondered what his situation was now.

Whether those within his body were still biding their time.

And whether his cultivation had reached Immortal Ascension.

At most, Liu Xingchen had been cultivating for just two hundred years.

An ascension to Immortality or Immortal Ascension in two hundred years.

Such speed was astounding.

But it was achieved at the expense of his body.

Perhaps he advanced quickly before becoming immortal, but he could be stuck at the threshold for many years.

After all, with the help of four remnant souls and a forced advancement without regard for his own condition, the speed of progress was indeed fast.

What a pity, even with such speed, none could surpass Chu Jie.

She had ascended to immortality at around the age of one hundred thirty.

Chu Chuan was at most at the middle stage of the Return to Void Realm.

The gap was too vast; the road ahead would not be easy.

If he knew his opponent had already ascended to immortality, his primordial spirit might even shatter from the shock.

“Did Chu Chuan and the others send any letters?” Jiang Hao suddenly asked.

“Yes,” Cheng Chou took out five envelopes:

“One of them is from Junior Brother Chu Chuan, and the other four are from Junior Brother Mu Yin.

“Probably because Junior Brother Chu Chuan is far away, it's not easy to send them back, and they can easily be lost en route.”

Jiang Hao took the letters saying, “What's written inside?”

As he spoke, he opened Chu Chuan's envelope first.

“Junior Brother Chu Chuan said he acquired a treasure capable of collecting the lost souls of the world, named the Heavenly Thunder Banner. Now he dominates a territory.

“His cultivation has even broken through to the peak of Return to Void Realm.

“The letter is from more than ten years ago,” Cheng Chou said.

Jiang Hao smiled as he read the letter; when had the Ten Thousand Souls Banner been renamed the Heavenly Thunder Banner?

But it wasn't any ordinary Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

That banner would also bring immense pressure to Chu Chuan, after all, the million lost souls inside weren't ordinary, but those slain by the Heavenly Extreme Emperor.

Ordinary they were not.

Under such pressure, Chu Chuan's cultivation would advance rapidly.

“He should be able to ascend to immortality within three hundred years,” Jiang Hao said while looking at the letter.

Hearing this, Cheng Chou felt a tinge of envy.

Ascending to immortality within three hundred years.

Jiang Hao sensed something and looked towards the man in front of him, saying, “There's no need for lofty aspirations at this moment; focus on advancing to the Primordial Spirit Realm first.

“Take it slowly; once you ascend to the Primordial Spirit Realm and refine yourself further, there may still be a chance to advance in the great era to come.”

“I understand,” Cheng Chou nodded.

Afterward, Jiang Hao read Mu Yin's letters.

The initial ones detailed sceneries and customs.

After three such letters,

The fourth began to delve into encounters with people.

He suddenly understood the maliciousness of human nature, the suffering of the common folk,

And learned that misfortune often befalls those already in distress.

Jiang Hao was somewhat helpless: “He's going to have a crisis of faith.”

“Why?” Cheng Chou was a bit puzzled.

After pondering for a moment, Jiang Hao said, “Given Mu Yin's character, he will realize that learning from Buddha cannot save all the suffering beings of the world.”

Cheng Chou was somewhat surprised, but still inquired, “Then what should be done?”

“Send him a letter,” Jiang Hao said softly.

“Tell him that the West originally had no Buddhist teachings, but once he goes, there will be. So what kind of Buddhist teachings would those be?”

“Just like that?” Cheng Chou asked.

“Just like that, go on.” Jiang Hao pondered for a moment and asked, “Can it be delivered?”

“Hard to say, but with the help of the Giant Spirit Clan, it should be possible,” Cheng Chou said somewhat awkwardly. “However, we'd have to use your name; they are gradually integrating into us and understand what the top disciple represents.

So, your name carries weight.”

“That's fine,” Jiang Hao thought for a moment and said. “But I need to get a pet for sending messages.”

Of course, it's just for sending replies; they must not be allowed to send messages at any time.

Otherwise, being constantly reminded of the Heavenly Note Sect wouldn't be good.

Cheng Chou said he would see what he could do, though he was curious about the message being sent.

Jiang Hao said with a smile, “The Buddhist law is meant for those with patience. What if you meet an impatient, stubborn, and resistant evildoer?”

“What then?” Cheng Chou asked.

Jiang Hao clenched his fist and said, “A fist can make the uncooperative willingly listen to the Buddhist teachings.”

Cheng Chou didn't quite understand.

“That's why you lack spiritual wisdom,” Jiang Hao said with a laugh.

After entering the Spirit Herb Garden, Jiang Hao encountered Senior Sister Miao and Senior Brother Mu Qi.

“Senior Brother, Senior Sister,” Jiang Hao greeted them respectfully.

“You're hard to find,” Miao Tinglian said. “And you didn't seem to advance to Immortal Ascension. Aren't you afraid of being challenged?”

“I was in a daze,” Jiang Hao honestly said.

“I didn't realize so much time had passed.”

“In a daze? Even sudden enlightenment doesn't take that long,” Miao Tinglian said with confusion.

Then she came up to Jiang Hao, pulling out a piece of paper from her robe, and was about to unfold it when suddenly she let go, and it fell to the ground.

“Oh my, what a gust of wind. Junior Brother, help me pick it up,” Miao Tinglian said extravagantly.

This made Jiang Hao feel strange.

What is this about?

Nevertheless, he still picked up the piece of paper and handed it back to Senior Sister Miao.

“Open it and see what it is,” Miao Tinglian said with a curious face.

Jiang Hao frowned, but he carefully unfolded the paper anyway.

Upon inspection, it was a medical report.

Upon closer examination, Jiang Hao's pupils contracted, and he looked incredulously at the person before him.

She had already leaned comfortably against Mu Qi, striking a pose with her hands on her hips.

“Oh my, it turns out to be a pregnancy report. Who might this be, such wonderful news?” Miao Tinglian asked with feigned curiosity.

Jiang Hao looked at Mu Qi, who wore a resigned expression, then respectfully congratulated, “Congratulations, Senior Brother and Senior Sister.”

“Unexpected,” Mu Qi shook his head helplessly.

“What's unexpected?” Miao Tinglian laughed. “Junior Brother, wouldn't you like to give me something?”

“Indeed,” Jiang Hao nodded earnestly:

“What do you think a child needs?

“Do you plan to let him cultivate?”

“Of course he'll cultivate, but it's troublesome if he lacks innate talents.

“Right, Junior Brother, you are so good at raising children, why not let him acknowledge you as his master?

“That can be the gift.”

“How about it?”

Jiang Hao: “…”

That would be giving himself trouble, not presenting a gift at all.

“I refuse,” Jiang Hao declined.

After pondering for a moment, he added, “When he grows up a bit, I'll give him a spirit beast rabbit.

“As his master, I'll find one for him.”

“That will do,” Mu Qi spoke up. “However, it won't be born so soon; the Holy Master gave us some treasures that take time to digest.”

Hearing this, Jiang Hao thought for a moment and asked:

“How is his divine soul?”

“Hard to say, the Holy Master mentioned that we've been depleting ourselves too severely lately, so it might be a bit weak,” Miao Tinglian said.

“I'll go ask for one, and later let him absorb it,” Jiang Hao said calmly, then curiously asked, “Do Senior Brother and Senior Sister prefer a boy or a girl?”

“Look at your Spirit Herb Garden; the boys are either getting beat up or bullied, while the girls are either silly or clueless,” Miao Tinglian said earnestly. “So…..”

“A girl?” Jiang Hao asked.

“Of course a boy,” Miao Tinglian stated.

Jiang Hao smiled without replying.

“By the way, I'm about to find a suitable couple for you, Junior Brother. Why don't you also have a child so your daughter can marry my son one day?” Miao Tinglian suggested.

Jiang Hao didn't even listen, bidding farewell to Senior Brother Mu Qi and turning to leave.

“I'm serious,” Miao Tinglian called out from behind.

Jiang Hao acted as though he hadn't heard.

He went to find Brother Zhang.

Azure Mountain.

“You want my divine soul? No chance, just kill me,” Chu Chuan declared defiantly.

Strength bore down, the First Form of the Moon-Slaying Saber Technique, slashes.

Sensing his impending death, the Holy Master immediately said:

“Stop, hold on.”

“I think we can negotiate further.”
