Chapter 1712
Chapter 1712: Chapter 1409: Fanning the Flames for the Demoness Chapter 1712: Chapter 1409: Fanning the Flames for the Demoness Endless Starry Sky, seven individuals sat cross-legged.
One, at a higher position, seemed to be surrounded by stars.
The six below stood upon the stars.
The stars around them appeared to stir with their conversation.
“Ancient Stone?” the Ghost Immortal fairy guard was the first to inquire,
“What is this thing?”
“A stone, perhaps,” Star began,
“I seem to have heard of it, those from The End of All Things are likely searching for it.”
“I haven't heard anything specific,” Liu pondered then spoke,
“But it seems there indeed was a search, just not heavily emphasized.”
“Does that mean it can't be found in a short time?” fairy guard Zhang asked.
Jiang Hao thought for a moment and said,
“Ancient Stone? Perhaps I can find it.”
Upon hearing this, everyone was somewhat surprised.
Was it a coincidence?
How could Jing possess something that one needs to enter the Li Clan's domain?
Or was it that he had made ample preparations to enter?
Regardless, this was good news.
After all, Jing had a penchant for collecting ominous creatures.
The Ghost Immortal fairy guard contemplated. In her heart, she had a notion–could it be Jing who deliberately caused the Ancient Yin-Yang Millstone to appear?
All for the sake of acquiring this thing.
After all, the Dao fruit was introduced by Jing.
It always seemed like Jing was engaged in a grand game.
It turned out that the changes within the various races and the dragon race all had a certain connection to Jing.
Of course, whether that was true wasn't important.
What mattered was that they could finally enter the Li Clan's inner sanctum.
It was individuals like Jing who could subdue the other three fierce beasts that mattered; adding the Ancient Yin-Yang Millstone to the mix wasn't an issue.
The Ancient Yin-Yang Millstone in anyone else's hands would be a cause for concern.
But in Jing's hands, there was no worry.
After all, he already possessed three pearls.
One more Ancient Yin-Yang Millstone didn't make a difference.
At this moment, Liu spoke up,
“So how will you all assist? Additionally, I have received news that the Ancient Yin-Yang Millstone is not just an object of destruction; more importantly, it could serve as a deterrent.”
Seeing the Ghost Immortal fairy guard about to speak, Liu quickly added, “What it deters, I do not know; that's just what the message indicated.
“Moreover, it also said that practically no one in this world can wield it, but the method to activate it can be mastered, preferably by someone who dares to do so.”
Hearing this, everyone was puzzled.
Unable to wield the Ancient Yin-Yang Millstone, one could only handle the key?
The key was a fierce beast, and all lay in the hands of The End of All Things.
And he dared to activate it.
This…
Was it really good news?
But Liu couldn't provide any clarification; after all, he was just relaying what he'd heard.
“How should I receive Friend Jing?” Yi asked.
The Ghost Immortal fairy guard curiously inquired, “Is Friend Jing personally going?”
“Not alone,” Jiang Hao responded.
Jing was not Jiang Hao Tian, but Jiang Hao Tian had others at his side.
So, it still boiled down to two people going.
After pondering he asked, “Once inside, where do we appear?”
“I'm not sure either,” Yi shook his head.
Senior Dan Yuan softly spoke up, “Is there a formation?”
“Yes,” Yi immediately transmitted a rough outline of the formation to Senior Dan Yuan.
At last, Dan Yuan pointed out three locations,
“The distances won't be far off; they should be around these three places.”
These places were some distance from the entrance, but not close to the center.
Yi nodded and said, “Then I will monitor these three places closely, staying nearby.
“In this way, we can use the Li Clan's special method of communication.
“However, I'm not certain if others might detect it.”
“It doesn't matter,” Jiang Hao answered.
As long as there was communication, he didn't mind being noticed.
He was going in, and so was Heavenly Note Sect.
How many people in this world could detect them?
If not for the need of Yi's guidance, he wouldn't even require contact.
They discussed further and settled the important matters before the meeting concluded.
Of course, the Ghost Immortal fairy guard had already visited the Heavenly Note Sect.
And Jiang Hao informed her that he had left a backup plan there.
The Ghost Immortal fairy guard seemed disheartened, though she couldn't fathom why.
Soon,
Jiang Hao awoke in the room.
“It's over?” Heavenly Note Sect asked without turning to look outside at the moonlit night.
Jiang Hao nodded, replying,
“Mainly about the matter of the Ancient Yin-Yang Millstone.
“The fourth fierce beast was killed by The End of All Things, and they also know how to turn the Ancient Yin-Yang Millstone genuinely.
“Moreover, they say the academy has a deeper understanding of the pages of an ancient book.
“People from the demons and Immortal Clan are also heading this way.
“And those from The End of All Things can already come and go as they please.”
Heavenly Note Sect turned to look at Jiang Hao, “Seems like things are progressing quickly here; is the Ancient Yin-Yang Millstone about to emerge?”
“Not yet,” Jiang Hao shook his head, “Still can't know the specifics inside the Li Clan's realm.
“Even the people from the Li Clan aren't clear on it.
“They probably can't approach the seal directly, let alone know about the Ancient Yin-Yang Millstone.
“However, I've received another piece of information.”
Jiang Hao quickly told her about the Ancient Stone.
“You have it?” Heavenly Note Sect asked, quite surprised, “You really do have everything.”
Senior Dan Yuan jested, “Just happened to find it while buying the Dew of the First Sun for the senior.”
Heavenly Note Sect laughed heartily, “Where is it?”
“The West,” Jiang Hao replied.
“That's quite far,” Heavenly Note Sect looked at Jiang Hao, “Do you plan to go directly?”
“Yes, I've left a sub-ring there; going through it will take me there,” Jiang Hao nodded.
And thus, Heavenly Note Sect stood up and said, “Let's go, take a look, and return before dawn; they wouldn't dare to come in hastily.”
Jiang Hao was somewhat surprised that the other party wanted to go, but it didn't matter.
Heavenly Note Sect's strength was great enough to be immune to the damage brought by the sub-ring, so there was no issue bringing her along.
It wouldn't work for anyone else.
