Chapter 1704
Chapter 1704: Chapter 1405 Elder, my life is not worth mourning, please take over the Western Astronomical Academy Chapter 1704: Chapter 1405 Elder, my life is not worth mourning, please take over the Western Astronomical Academy Watching the three approaching, Jiang Hao's eyebrows slightly furrowed.
Originally wanting to take a step forward, he hesitated, unsure how to respond.
With these three openly calling him 'senior,' what would others think of him?
What if these three were recognized? Then he, as their senior, to compete with a younger one.
What would it amount to?
“Please, challenger, come to the stage.”
The voice from the platform rang out again.
However, Jing Dajiang and the two others had already reached him.
Should he go up or not?
He wanted to go up, after all, rare were competitions, and he hadn't sparred in a long time.
As a powerful cultivator, battling beyond one's level was his long-cherished dream.
A cross-level sparring or sparring with a prodigy was even rarer.
Going up would also allow him to gain enough experience.
Later, he could say that he had competed with a prodigy.
Although he lost, his effort in battling beyond his level was honorable nonetheless.
Just…
Jing Dajiang had already appeared before him.
“Senior, you also came to watch the grand competition?”
Looking at the man before him, Jiang Hao gave up on moving forward and responded indifferently, “Yes, just watching.”
Heavenly Note Sect covered her mouth, smiling.
She felt unusually uplifted.
However, she stood right next to Jiang Hao, visible to everyone.
Most people recognized someone was there, but they knew nothing else about her.
“The rogue cultivator Jiang Hao is requested to come to the challenging platform,” the judge on the platform spoke again.
Jiang Hao and Heavenly Note Sect just watched as Jing Dajiang curiously asked, “Why doesn't this rogue cultivator go up?”
“It might be some affair delaying him,” Jiang Hao casually said.
“That's a pity, we heard on our way here that this man's opponent is a Heavenly Faction prodigy. We wanted to see the other's strength.
“Now without an opponent, we couldn't witness it,” Jing Dajiang said with some regret.
Jiang Hao too expressed it was a pity.
But missed is missed.
It wasn't anything important.
In the end, another person on the stage won directly.
Heavenly Note Sect looked at Jiang Hao and said, “Losing like this seems somewhat humiliating.”
“How can you talk about losing when you didn't step onto the field?” Jiang Hao replied.
Afterward, he headed into the city, wanting to see Han Ming's opponent.
“Senior, what do you plan to do?” Jing Dajiang earnestly asked following him, “Senior, do you know about the Ancient Yin-Yang Millstone?”
Jiang Hao stopped and turned to Jing Dajiang, wondering if it was an illusion, as if the other side was eager to push this matter onto him.
“What are the three seniors talking about? I don't understand,” Jiang Hao resumed his steps.
Jing Dajiang continued to follow, saying, “Senior, the heavens and earth are tilting; we need the senior to single-handedly support them.”
“Supporting the heavens single-handedly?” Jiang Hao seriously looked at the three and said, “You three seniors jest. I am but a nobody, while you are illustrious figures in the West, naturally needed to take charge of the world's major affairs.”
Although Jiang Hao was bound to search for the Ancient Yin-Yang Millstone, being targeted by these three was hardly good news.
Of course, the Western Astronomical Academy had been kind to him.
When he ascended, they greatly supported him.
Jing Dajiang had disregarded all worldly attachments to endorse him back then.
Such people were tough to shake off.
The academy had repeatedly stood up for him, impossible to refuse.
“Senior, why don't you first listen to what the Ancient Yin-Yang Millstone is?” Jing Dajiang pondered then continued, “That way, senior can also understand the North a bit.”
“Rumors of the Ancient Yin-Yang Millstone are rare, but most of them originate from pages of an ancient book,” Jing Dajiang spoke on his own.
Jiang Hao originally wanted to stop him, but paused upon hearing about the pages of the ancient book.
Pages of the ancient book actually had such rumors?
He had never heard of them.
Nor had Heavenly Note Sect mentioned them.
“Our Astronomical Academy has always been collecting pages of ancient books, especially some old folks; their obsession with such things surpasses everything,” Jing Dajiang thought for a long time and said, “Initially, they detected a special situation from the pages of ancient books. Since they did not get the academy's support, they took some belongings and left the academy.
“They established their own sect.
“Over long distances, recently, there are three.
“However, two of them have disappeared.
“The third one had established Heavenly Tower overseas; wherever pages of ancient books appear, he'd be there.”
“So what did they detect?” Jiang Hao curiously asked.
He remembered the previous Shan Qinghe.
“I don't know, maybe it's unspeakable,” Jing Dajiang helplessly shook his head:
“But they have transcriptions of the Ancient Yin-Yang Millstone.”
“What is it?” Jiang Hao asked.
Heavenly Note Sect was also quite curious.
“The Ancient Yin-Yang Millstone when activated can annihilate all living beings, but its inherent function is intimidation,” Jing Dajiang said.
“Intimidation?” Jiang Hao was a bit curious, “Intimidating whom?”
“I don't know, according to some fragmented records, the best conditions to activate the Yin-Yang Millstone should be in the hands of someone daring enough to activate it,” Jing Dajiang earnestly said:
“Even there are rumors that the Ancient Yin-Yang Millstone was completely activated once, but they say a complete activation would level everything, including the Ancient Yin-Yang Millstone, so it's likely false.”
At those words, Jiang Hao's eyebrows furrowed.
They also had such rumors, and he always felt there was some truth to it.
Of course, this was not of much concern to him.
As long as he could control the current Ancient Yin-Yang Millstone well.
That way, he wouldn't inexplicably be erased, and he could sleep peacefully.
“Senior, if this thing really emerges, it will definitely shock the heavens and earth,” Jing Dajiang earnestly said:
“It cannot be in the hands of us ordinary mortals.
“Let us three help the senior acquire the Ancient Yin-Yang Millstone, and let it fall into the senior's hands.
