Jiang Hao nodded slightly: “Yes, it's me. I achieved Daluo status at the age of four hundred, not from that era, but from my own era.”
The corpse collector stood still, then burst into laughter and said: “Great Elder, do you still remember what I said before?”
He casually tossed the iron chains aside and, sitting atop the coffin, continued:
“I said, the next time we met, you would be the one requesting my aid.”
“I'm not asking.” Jiang Hao shook his head: “The Western Astronomical Academy is no longer powerful. If I don't join, it is bound to suffer in the future.
Also, don't you want to know about the state of affairs in Gu Jin Tian?
Now that you know the endless past, you also understand the sorrow of eras.
So, aren't you curious?
For instance, whether I am confident or not.”
The academy dean squinted at Jiang Hao and said: “Great Elder, you always loved to speak in riddles.”
Jiang Hao shook his head: “Now, I will be the one to ask.”
“Ask away.” The dean replied.
“In the era of Helpless Heaven, was there a woman who was brought here?” Jiang Hao inquired.
“Yes, but she didn't possess enough strength to come here.” The dean started to reply.
“Hmm, I was the one who brought her here.” Jiang Hao said, then followed up: “Where is she now?”
The dean was somewhat astonished: “You really know how to make things hard for the corpse collectors, how many people have you brought here?”
With that, he pointed to the water below: “She's down there. That woman is no ordinary person. The moment she came in here, she claimed she was sent by the Ancient Yin-Yang Millstone, and the corpse collector at that time actually believed her.
She also said she couldn't withstand the erosion here and needed a safe place to study, to explore all causes and maybe one day unravel the mysteries from millennia ago.
Interestingly enough, the corpse collector was curious too, given the ancient origins of this place, so he really did arrange a spot for this woman.
However, there's no coming and going from that place.
She can utilize the advantage brought by the sea area to investigate things, but she herself cannot come out, nor can she send messages out.
Moreover, we also cannot enter.
This is for her protection.
It's a necessity.
She said someone would come to rescue her. That must be you.
Who is she to you?”
The elder dean asked with some curiosity.
Jiang Hao pondered a moment and said: “My wife's mother.”
Upon hearing this, the elder dean paused, then looked towards Red Rain Ye: “Her?”
Jiang Hao nodded: “Yes.”
The elder dean fell silent for a while then asked: “Has Gu Jin Tian married?”
“No.” Jiang Hao replied.
“What about Jing Dajiang?”
“He hasn't, either.”
“Da Hai and Da He?”
“No.”
“And Red Dragon?”
“No.”
Upon hearing these words, the elder dean took a deep breath and said with a pained voice: “Great Elder, you've betrayed us.”
Jiang Hao: “….”
Your being single, what does it have to do with me?
“I know where the fairy guard is, but I cannot go there right now. Let's head to the shore first.” Saying this, the elder dean started heading toward the shore with the coffin.
Jiang Hao paused then said: “Actually, there's another matter.”
“What is it?” The elder dean asked curiously.
Jiang Hao took out that coffin.
Seeing the coffin, the elder dean paused: “That person is also you?”
“It's me.” Jiang Hao nodded.
“You actually survived.” The elder dean said emotionally: “You're quite capable, surviving such an ordeal.”
Jiang Hao nodded in agreement: “Yes, this matter is rather complicated.”
“Don't tell me, I'm not fit to know everything. Remember, I am a corpse collector, and a corpse collector's memory is inheritable.” The elder dean said seriously: “No one is certain when this era will end, and who will succeed once it's over.”
Soon, they arrived at the shore.
It was Jiang Hao's first time at this particular shore.
The elder dean then pulled the coffin onto the shore.
He then took over the coffin and said: “This coffin isn't particularly special, and it isn't difficult to open.
But the person inside may not be alive.”
“Will opening it have any impact?” Jiang Hao asked.
“Of course, do you not know what this place is? Someone like her, just being in contact with this place for a moment is a tremendous damage, unless your strength is sufficient.
There's another way, to open it at the place where your mother-in-law is.
Perhaps it would be okay then.
Of course, it would be best if I were the one to open it.
Besides, you have to request my help.”
Jiang Hao: “…”
“This is the wife of the Human Emperor.” Jiang Hao replied.
“Request my help.” The elder dean asked.
“The Human Emperor stands supreme through the ages.”
“Request my help.”
“The Human Emperor is indeed a great hero of our people.”
“Request my help.”
Heavenly Note Sect watched the two, didn't overthink, and started preparing the table and chairs for a tea ceremony.
“There's still tea?” Upon hearing this, the old headmaster immediately took a seat.
Jiang Hao then took out two teacups.
Soon, the fragrance of tea was overflowing.
Old Headmaster: “….”
Jiang Hao, sipping tea, remarked, “This is great tea, Dew of the First Sun, have you had it before, Headmaster?”
Old Headmaster: “….”
Jiang Hao chuckled, “Beg me, and if you do, I might let you taste it.”
Old Headmaster: “….”
Heavenly Note Sect looked at Jiang Hao and thought that the person before her was really childish.
So did the corpse collector.
In the end, the two haggled for quite a while.
The old headmaster gave in.
No need for anyone to beg anymore.
Let's just have tea.
While drinking tea, the old headmaster was quite emotional, as if he were back at the Western Astronomical Academy.
“Is the academy still doing well?” he asked.
“Very well, Jing Dajiang is quite formidable,” Jiang Hao replied.
“He's getting all the benefits for nothing,” the old headmaster sighed, “We're working for him, helping to elevate his position.”
Jiang Hao laughed heartily, “Would you like to return and continue being the headmaster?”
The headmaster naturally refused.
Pulling coffins is quite interesting; it's enjoyable.
Being headmaster is out of the question.
He didn't do it when he was alive, and certainly wouldn't now.
But he looked at Jiang Hao with great emotion, “I never thought I would meet the Great Elder under such circumstances, it's truly miraculous.
Were you already Daluo back then?”
“Yes, I achieved Daluo status, besides Helpless Heaven, Human Emperor, and Gu Jin, probably no one can match me,” Jiang Hao answered.
“You're still no match for Gu Jin? What rubbish innate talents, even my disciple is better than you,” the headmaster scorned.
Jiang Hao: “….”
Heavenly Note Sect smiled lightly, without saying a word.
The headmaster couldn't understand the current Jiang Hao, so he scolded with great confidence.
Helpless Heaven, Human Emperor, and Gu Jin, they couldn't bring themselves to scold.
They didn't even want to speak.
They didn't even want to meet.
“Let's forget it, once we finish the tea we should go find the State Preceptor,” Jiang Hao said.
“Do you really have a way to get in?” the headmaster asked curiously.
“I don't know, we'll have to see,” Jiang Hao pondered, then asked, “Do you think this place is safe, Headmaster?”
Pointing at the sea area, the headmaster said, “As long as the water level hasn't submerged this coast, it's still safe.
Recently, the water levels have dropped a bit, so I've been more relaxed.
If the water doesn't rise above the coast, this era will also come to an end.
I should then choose the next corpse collector.
By the way, who is the protagonist of this era?”
After some thought, Jiang Hao said, “Perhaps it's me?”
Though he did not want to admit it, it seemed…
that in this era, only he could battle Cheng Yun.
The headmaster was not surprised either.
After finishing their tea, he led the group deeper into the sea area.
On the way, he led them directly down into the endless sea.
The deeper they went, the heavier Jiang Hao felt the weight on his shoulders.
If he had come alone, he might not have been able to resurface.
He might have been trapped below forever.
This water level…
was indeed terrifying.
Then the things below the sea area, what kind of pressure must they be under.
Yet still able to emerge.
It was simply unimaginable.
Shortly after,
Jiang Hao saw some floating coffins and, on top of one, there was actually a door.
They quickly came to the door.
“This is the place,”
the headmaster said to Jiang Hao: “I can't open it, the people inside can't either, it's up to you now.”
Jiang Hao looked at the door and gently touched it.
It felt like the door, much like a coffin, sealed everything within.
But there was a difference.
It seemed to connect the endless future with the past.
Yet standing in the present,
unable to reach the past or future, he couldn't push the door open.
After a moment of silence, Jiang Hao communicated with the Ancient Yin-Yang Millstone,
and then he pushed his hand towards the door.
