Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

Chapter 1775: Chapter 1438: The Bride is the Sect Master_2 Chapter 1775: Chapter 1438: The Bride is the Sect Master_2 “Great fortune may take her to high mountains,” the Heavenly Note Sect said, “but it cannot usher her to the peak.

“For those at the pinnacle, great fortune is merely the icing on the cake.

“It cannot decide who stands at the top.

“Otherwise, why would there be so many endowed with great fortune, yet so few like the Human Emperor?”

Jiang Hao nodded, that made sense.

But wasn't it even harder without great fortune?

In the end, whether Chu Chuan or Chu Jie would lead, Jiang Hao wasn't clear.

At the moment, Chu Jie seemed to have the advantage.

“What do you plan to do next?” Heavenly Note Sect asked.

“Initially, I wanted to meet some of the strong ones from the eastern region,” Jiang Hao said with a sigh.

“The banner in Chu Chuan's hands is anything but simple.

“The divine soul within it is even less so; it's bound to attract covetous eyes.

“It's fine if peers struggle for it. If lost, then lost–it's his fault for lacking the ability.

“But I dread the possibility of bullying by the powerful.

“It would be unfortunate if he ended up being chased back.”

“But if it's snatched by his peers, wouldn't he return home disheartened?” Heavenly Note Sect asked curiously.

Jiang Hao shook his head, “No, if his magical treasures were snatched by peers and he slinked home, that'd be too shameful; he likely wouldn't have the face to return.”

Heavenly Note Sect fell silent for a while.

“Unfortunately, there's no chance to meet those people. Now I wonder if I should force a meeting,” Jiang Hao pondered for a moment before shaking his head and deciding, “Better not.”

“Why not?” Heavenly Note Sect asked curiously.

“The wedding is imminent. If I make a move, many will associate it with Chu Chuan, and then with his senior brother.

“There's a chance it could complicate the wedding.

“As it stands, while they may suspect something, they are unlikely to act,” Jiang Hao reflected.

“I'll just have to intimidate them another time. I had hoped to strike once and shout a phrase.

But now the opportunity is gone.”

Heavenly Note Sect looked at Jiang Hao, then, taking an interest while eating some pastries, said, “What were you planning to shout?”

Jiang Hao picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said, “Three million Heavenly Immortals in the eastern region, yet in my presence, they too must bow their heads.”

Hearing this, Heavenly Note Sect raised an eyebrow and looked at Jiang Hao,

“Seems you too enjoy fame across the land.”

Jiang Hao shook his head, “Elder, you jest. What Jiang Hao Tian does has nothing to do with me.”

“What would you like to do now, since you're not taking action?” asked the Heavenly Note Sect casually.

“I had wanted to observe the Immortal Clan building the Supreme Immortal Court, and if needed, I was willing to help. But their preparation takes too long, so I'll abstain,” Jiang Hao said as he ate another pastry. “Mu Longyu is in danger but also faces an opportunity; best leave him be.

His Immortal Ascension might not need interference; let nature take its course.

It's just uncertain which form of Buddha he'll comprehend.

Great compassion or lawlessness, or perhaps the Asura Demon Buddha.

But being in the West, it's better for the westerners to engage with him.

I just hope he doesn't turn back with doubts.”

Heavenly Note Sect gazed at Jiang Hao, “You seem quite concerned about these people.”

“Yes, none of these people are of a tranquil sort,” Jiang Hao remarked.

So far, only Lin Zhi is most settled, still tidying the library.

His cultivation isn't the highest among them, but his mindset is very stable.

He isn't in a rush; his ascension isn't far off.

Afterwards, he'll probably venture out on his own, then return.

“So, you're saying you're free of matters now?” asked Heavenly Note Sect.

Jiang Hao nodded, “Yes, I can go back now.”

The grand wedding was in roughly two years, so it was necessary to return.

As for other matters, nothing warranted concern.

Inviting people.

Other than Helpless Heaven, there was no one else to invite.

It was never meant to be a large affair.

Keeping it to a smaller circle isn't a bad thing.

Heavenly Note Sect nodded.

After finishing their meal, Jiang Hao casually motioned with his hand.

Suddenly, three figures appeared at the table.

It was Ouyang Yi and two others.

They were somewhat shocked to see Jiang Hao.

They had been walking, yet suddenly found themselves transported here.

“Are you alright?” Jiang Hao asked with a smile.

“No, no problem,” Ouyang Yi said woodenly, shaking his head.

“You've indeed helped me, so I'll offer each of you an inheritance rune, which might assist you when you attempt to ascend,” Jiang Hao lifted a finger, and inheritance runes touched each of their foreheads.

That profound and mysterious feeling left them stunned.

What kind of opportunity was this?

Could someone from the Bright Moon Sect offer such fortune?

They didn't know.

But certainly, this person's power was unfathomably deep.

Was Brother Chu Chuan really that formidable?

In their midst of confusion, Jiang Hao's voice came again, “If your sect has any questions for you, especially about me, just tell the truth.

Just say my name is Jiang Hao Tian.

Also, tell your Sect Master that matters concerning kids are best resolved by the kids themselves.

He should be a reasonable man too.

As for my junior brother.

He is going to walk a path that others wouldn't even dare to dream of.

It's okay for peers to stop him, but elders should stay out of it.

As for what kind of senior brother I am, there's no need to investigate, it's a meaningless matter.”

The three were utterly bewildered as they listened.

They couldn't possibly meet with the Sect Master.

“You will meet him. Since you've met Jiang Hao, then the Sect Master will come to meet you,” Jiang Hao said with a smile.

“But the Sect Master has not returned for a long time,” said a fairy guard from the Bright Moon Sect.

Jiang Hao spoke softly, “The things he was busy with are now over, and he will return soon. Do as I've instructed, no need to worry.”

The three could only agree.

Afterwards, Jiang Hao stood up and extended his hand to the person beside him, “Elder Sister, let's go back.”

Heavenly Note Sect looked at Jiang Hao's hand and gently placed hers in it.

With that, Jiang Hao and Heavenly Note Sect's figures disappeared in an incomprehensible manner.

“Settle the bill, please,” came Jiang Hao's voice at last.

The three: “….”

However, they found it hard to believe what Jiang Hao Tian had said.

Was it true that just because they found him, the Sect Master would come looking for them?

However, before they had much time to ponder,

the sect sent a message asking them to return immediately, as someone wanted to meet them.

This…

So fast?

They felt some apprehension.

In January of the following year,

Master Hao Yue was surprised when he returned,

hearing the name Jiang Hao Tian for the first time.

It was truly a pity that he had fallen in realms and lost his future prospects.

Yet even fallen, such a powerful figure was not someone he could compare to.

More importantly, it seemed as though the Ancient Yin-Yang Millstone was in the other's hands.

Besides this matter, he had also heard Jiang Hao Tian's name in the eastern region,

but unfortunately, he never had the opportunity to meet him.

But soon enough, he learned that someone from the sect had.

So, without delay, he summoned those three.

Ouyang Yi and the other two were shocked that the Sect Master had really returned and even met with them.

“We've seen the Sect Master,” the three greeted respectfully.

“Tell me about your encounter with Jiang Hao Tian,” Master Hao Yue said.

After all, it concerned Chu Jie, and he needed to understand the situation.

Initially, he didn't care much about insults and such matters.

But they quickly mentioned a matter of luck and opportunity.

Master Hao Yue had checked this opportunity, and indeed, it was exceptional.

So, was this person truly Jiang Hao Tian?

“What else did he say?” Master Hao Yue inquired.

“He said that matters concerning kids are best resolved by the kids themselves,” Ouyang Yi said.

This statement surprised Master Hao Yue, who finally nodded, “I indeed have no intention of intervening, but since he could say such a thing, it seems there might be other changes.

Let's wait and see.”

Afterward, he ordered that no one other than their peers should covet Chu Chuan's Heavenly Thunder Banner.

He had heard of that divine item, and it was indeed magnificent.

“But Chu Chuan has a senior brother named Jiang Hao Tian?” Master Hao Yue pondered for quite some time and did not believe that this senior brother belonged to the Heavenly Note Sect.

If the Heavenly Note Sect had such a strong figure, they would have no need to cooperate with the Bright Moon Sect.

Could it be that he had taken a master later on?

This possibility seemed likely, especially considering that divine item, which was clearly the belonging of a powerful figure.

There had to be an inheritance rune involved.

That would make sense.

But soon, he heard that Jiang Hao was getting married.

“Well, we can't be rude, let's send another wedding gift.”

He was Chu Jie's mentor, and the other man had saved both Chu Jie and Chu Chuan.

Naturally, he ought to give a wedding present, both sentimentally and rationally.

Heavenly Note Sect.

Jiang Hao, now 417 years old, was sitting in the Spirit Herb Garden.

“Junior brother, it's time to prepare for the sermon,” Miao Tinglian said.

“A sermon in one month, we're starting now?” Jiang Hao was curious, “Isn't there still more than a year until the wedding, don't you understand the post-marital customs?”
