Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

Chapter 1961: Chapter 1528: Ask the Human Emperor if He Still Remembers the Blue-skirted Fairy_2 Chapter 1961: Chapter 1528: Ask the Human Emperor if He Still Remembers the Blue-skirted Fairy_2 After all, these people were arranged by Jiang Hao, and no one is particularly eager to pick a fight with a top disciple.

Especially since these people also have knowledge of spirit herbs, Cheng Chou would sometimes call on them when he's busy.

And Cheng Chou practically represents Jiang Hao.

So, even less reason for others to act rashly.

Jiang Hao took a careful look and noted that there are still three people hiding something.

People from the Great Thousand God Sect are also among them.

These people are quite skilled at infiltration.

“The sect hasn't undergone any major changes, but my master hasn't returned for many years.

In addition, Senior Brother Han Ming has returned.

More and more people are coming to know of the Supreme Immortal Court, and many sects have joined it.

And even more seekers have gone to the portals of the Supreme Immortal Court.

The royal family is still wavering,” said Cheng Chou.

Jiang Hao nodded his head.

This was to be expected.

After all, the great gate of the Supreme Immortal Court stands before them.

Ordinary seekers naturally aspire to go there.

The potential there is higher.

The specifics, common people do not understand.

Thus, the influence of the Supreme Immortal Court over the southern region will be significantly greater.

To uphold the order and manage all directions.

Some sects will have to follow the arrangements.

That the royal family has not rejected it yet is a surprise to Jiang Hao.

“Do these people have any issues?” Jiang Hao asked, ignoring these matters and looking towards the commoners inside.

Cheng Chou pondered for a moment and said, “Currently, we can only be sure that two people are problematic, but there is another one who seems to have issues too; however, I cannot pinpoint the problem.”

“How did you know he has issues then?” Jiang Hao asked with mild curiosity.

Cheng Chou smiled awkwardly and said, “Junior Brother Lin Zhi came over once, and it was he who noticed it. And Senior Brother Han Ming also came on one occasion and he noticed it too.”

Jiang Hao slightly nodded and said, “It seems they are both quite capable.”

Then he offered reassurance: “No worries, take your time, if you can't perceive their true nature, look at it from a different angle.

Some people's behavior will always be somewhat different from ordinary people.”

“What is Lin Zhi's cultivation now?” Jiang Hao inquired.

“Still in the Immortal Ascension Realm, first layer,” Cheng Chou replied.

Jiang Hao was not surprised; the person would not ascend via the Vast Heaven Platform.

He would ascend directly to immortality.

The path ahead is not easy, and who knows how it goes.

“Also, Junior Brother Mu Yin sent a letter, saying he has started to propagate Buddhist teachings in the West and has already established his own sect,” Cheng Chou informed.

Jiang Hao was slightly stunned and said, “He has established his own sect?”

That's quite bold.

“Yes, it's said to be called the Western Heaven Buddha Sect, with the purpose that, if Buddhist teachings cannot save the world, they will redeem the wicked, guiding them to the Western Heavens,” Cheng Chou explained.

Jiang Hao: “….”

He has a feeling that this person might bring trouble upon himself.

However, since the other party is practicing Buddhist teachings, he should not mention himself.

In that case, it shouldn't be a big problem.

If the establishment of the sect fails, he would just slink back here.

Even better if he has no face to come back, continuing to roam outside, it won't bring any trouble to Jiang Hao.

Chu Chuan is like this, still mixing around outside.

As long as he doesn't come back, it's fine.

After some more talk, Jiang Hao began to inquire if Cheng Chou had any problems with his cultivation.

Then he started to offer explanations.

When evening came.

Jiang Hao returned to his residence.

He began to await the gathering.

It has been a long time since he himself had attended a gathering.

He wonders what new information there will be in the gathering now.

But over these years, he has also received quite a bit of information, so he could share some with them.

He needs to sort it out and see what to talk about.

That night, Jiang Hao entered the secret code stone slab.

After many years, he had finally returned.

For others, it might just be a decade or so.

But for Jiang Hao, it has been a long span of years.

Even if those years were merely an accelerated transition.

They still allowed him to forge a complete Tao.

So, it's still something that cannot be ignored.

Soon, everyone was present.

Neither more nor fewer than expected.

And others were surprised to see Jing arrive.

After greeting Senior Dan Yuan, everyone sat cross-legged.

“Has Friend Jing finished his busy work?” Dan Yuan asked with a smile.

“Yes, I went to some places, was slightly held up by some matters,” Jiang Hao replied truthfully.

Dan Yuan nodded and said:

“I imagine that Friend Jing must have gained a lot this time.”

Then Dan Yuan asked the assembly if they had any problems with their cultivation.

No one spoke up.

So, Dan Yuan turned to Jing and asked, “Have you met that person?”

Knowing who the other was referring to, Jiang Hao nodded and said, “I have met him.”

“What does Friend Jing need?” Senior Dan Yuan inquired.

This was the remuneration offered by the other party.

Jiang Hao pondered for a moment, then said, “I wish to find out the whereabouts of the Old Man Corpse Sea, preferably to converse with him.”

Senior Dan Yuan thought for a moment and then said, “Coincidentally, he seems to be looking for him as well, and will inform Friend Jing when there's news.”

Afterward, Senior Dan Yuan looked towards the others and said, “I heard that the dragon race obtained a sculpture from the deep sea, extremely peculiar. Someone wants to know the specific details of the sculpture.

Do you have any leads?”

“I had someone investigate earlier, and it appears to have come from the deep sea, but it's still uncertain what it looks like.

I am about to return overseas and should be able to clarify.” Liu spoke up.

“Then, is there any other way to enter the Ancient Lands?” Senior Dan Yuan asked once again.

Liu spoke again: “Perhaps someone will attempt to enter soon, but the outcome is uncertain.”

Senior Dan Yuan nodded, then said no more.

These two were the tasks of Senior Dan Yuan.

Jiang Hao was somewhat curious.

The Ancient Lands were nothing new; after all, he had encountered them before.

But what was the deal with the sculpture?

What kind of sculpture would catch the attention of a senior like Dan Yuan?

This reminded him of the sculpture at the Western Astronomical Academy.

And also the sculpture from the Abyssal Sea.

Speaking of which, that sculpture was still with him.

Not only that, but he also brought back a page from a book, which he hadn't properly examined yet.

Concerning the transactions, there weren't many.

Xing had a transaction with Fairy Zhang.

The transaction had now been completed.

Gui also had a transaction with Xing, exchanging Cultivation Methods.

It's unclear whom Gui is helping to cultivate this time.

After the transaction was concluded, Gui spoke up, looking at Jiang Hao and asked, “Friend Jing, have you visited the Corpse Realm in these years?”

Jiang Hao nodded: “Roughly.”

The others did not speak, waiting for Gui to continue.

“The changes in the Abyssal Sea, as well as Heavenly King Hai Luo's changes, are they related to Friend Jing?” Gui inquired.

Jiang Hao was silent for a moment, then said, “They are related to Gu Jin.”

The crowd was somewhat surprised.

But before they could ask further, Jiang Hao continued, “However, Gu Jin is already dead.”

This news shocked everyone present once again.

Fairy Zhang nodded: “Indeed, there was a strange rain in the Corpse Realm and the West, which I'm sure you have all perceived.”

“There indeed was an unusual rain; it seems there were two such rains in the southern region.” Gui pondered and then said, “There was also such rain when laugh three times died.”

Upon hearing this, everyone became certain that Gu Jin seemed to have truly perished.

But they were puzzled for a moment.

How could such a person have died?

The more they interacted, the more they discovered.

Gu Jin was apparently an extraordinary figure.

Gui asked.

The others quietly listened.

Jiang Hao did not conceal the truth: “He fought with that unspeakable being.”

In an instant, everyone drew a sharp breath.

“Lost?” Yi spoke up to ask.

Jiang Hao shook his head: “He won, but also lost.”

In an instant, everyone was baffled.

But Jiang Hao did not explain further.

In this place, explaining too much could easily attract prying eyes.

However, after that incident, the other party should also fall into silence.

This he still conveyed: “Afterwards, the other party will remain silent for some time, so we will have more time.”

The crowd understood, Gu Jin's death seemed to have granted them more time.

After a pause, Jiang Hao decided to probe someone; he looked towards Friend Xing and said, “Friend Xing, I'd like you to deliver a message to a certain person.”

That certain person was naturally the Human Emperor behind Xing.

The other party also knew and asked, “What message does Friend Jing want me to bring?”

“Ask him if he remembers a Blue-skirted Fairy,” Jiang Hao said.

Upon hearing this, Xing nodded silently.

He couldn't understand the meaning of these words.

But he was also curious about what would happen after passing on the message.

At this moment, Gui also began to speak of what she knew: “The royal family has already refused to join the Supreme Immortal Court, seemingly provoking the land's Golden Dragon.

Now, almost the entire southern region is under the Supreme Immortal Court's control, with other sects being heavily suppressed.

Only a major sect like the Blackheaven Sect can remain somewhat stable.

Besides, have you heard about the rivers?

Similar to the rivers previously related to the Heavenly Extreme Dream Pearl.”

This surprised Jiang Hao.

A pitch-black river?

Such a thing still exists now?

Under the Immortal Court Order's suppression, these phenomena should be repressed.

“It is said that within the void where Gu Changsheng is located, such rivers have appeared, and not just one.

Apparently, they have the ability to pull people into them.

It might be related to the recent changes in the world.

Currently, it is uncertain where these rivers will flow to or what changes they may bring.

But is it possible they are related to a certain unmentionable existence?” Gui spoke up.
