Chapter 733: Ill Luck Can Also Target You....
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Heavenly King’s Fortune?” Jiang Hao looked at the woman in front of him in surprise.
He had always thought that the Heavenly King’s Fortune would bring significant benefits and hadn’t considered it might affect ascension to higher realms.
So why did so many people pursue Heavenly King’s Fortune if that was the case?
“You don’t think it’s a good thing?” Hong Yuye asked.
“No.” Jiang Hao shook his head. “I think it has some major limitations.”
“Heavenly King’s Fortune is a unique path. It’s not a matter of limitation. It’s just that an unconventional path always comes with a price,” Hong Yuye said calmly.
“Any kind of gift comes with a price,” Jiang Hao said in understanding.
He just needed some time to think about it.
Jiang Hao asked, “If only one of the twelve Heavenly Kings remains, can they still ascend the Immortal Path?”
“No.” Hong Yuye shook her head.
“Why?” Jiang Hao asked.
Hong Yuye did not answer immediately. It seemed she didn’t want to answer such a direct question. Perhaps it was because one person still had to bear the pressure of all twelve, or perhaps it was because if it wasn’t all twelve, ascension was simply impossible.
After thinking for a while, Jiang Hao realized that it could be one of these two reasons.
When they neared his wooden house, he asked, “How can the Twelve Heavenly Kings ascend now?”
Hong Yuye looked at the fish swimming in the river. “To ascend, they need to break free from Heavenly King’s Fortune, or all twelve must encounter an extraordinary opportunity at the same time. Or…” As she said this, she looked at Jiang Hao.
Jiang Hao was puzzled.
“Or what?” he asked.
Hong Yuye said, “Or find someone who comprehends Immortal Intent, possesses Heavenly King’s Fortune, and seems to have detached themselves from the other Heavenly Kings. Provide this person with a unique opportunity to ascend, and they can carry the other eleven to ascend together.”
Hao was surprised by this revelation. He questioned why thev would do this.
Hong Yuye did not provide further explanation.
Was it really worth it to do it this way?
The complete opportunity for ascension was probably what Shang An was going to offer him. If he shared this opportunity with others, more people might become Immortals and advance to higher realms. That would be better for his sect if he decided to do it that way.
So, was such an opportunity valuable?
Jiang Hao thought of an idea.
Even the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment was not a surefire way to obtain an ascension opportunity. It showed how rare and precious these opportunities were.
The Twelve Heavenly Kings’ wish for ascension was not an easy task.
Surprisingly, Heavenly King Hai Luo had a greater advantage, especially because he had detached himself from Heavenly King’s Fortune.
Jiang Hao thought about the issue and remembered Hong Yuye’s earlier explanation. Perhaps Hai Luo was looking to detach himself from the other Heavenly Kings and comprehend Immortal Intent.
He was perplexed. Did the Heavenly Kings genuinely have such a wish?
The appraisal did not provide him with an answer.
However, there were some things that appraisal couldn’t detect.
Heavenly King Hai Luo’s main reason was to save Mao Anxian, and that’s what the appraisal revealed.
‘Perhaps I should mention it to him and then appraise it again to be sure.’ He wasn’t particularly concerned about this issue.
If he had the time, he would check it out.
“Have you found anything useful lately?” Hong Yuye asked on the way. Jiang Hao thought about it. “The Corpse Realm Flower is about to bloom.” Hong Yuye didn’t react to this news.
Jiang Hao didn’t know what to say, as he hadn’t done much in the past six months. Apart from the information about the Corpse Realm Flower, he had received no other information.
Shang An also didn’t bring any useful information.
There had been no gatherings at all.
After a moment’s pause, he said, “Because of Shang An’s matter, the gathering might happen soon.”
Whenever a major event occurred, Dan Yuan called for a gathering.
According to Hong Yuye, these opportunities were extremely scarce, and those interested would pay attention. This would initiate trading.
This meeting might provide an opportunity to ask about Miao Anxian, as he still had one reward left to use.
He had visited Heavenly Stele Mountain and comprehended some things about it, but he didn’t know if it would have any impact in the future.
There were still many things to learn.
Hong Yuye remained silent, and they arrived at the wooden house. They walked into the courtyard.
Jiang Hao was a bit concerned. If the spirit beast and Xiao Li were inside, it wouldn’t be good.
Luckily, the two of them had gone somewhere else.
Hong Yuye leaned down to caress the leaves at the side of the path and then requested a bowl of water to water the flower herself.
Jiang Hao obliged.
“How long have you been growing the flower for?” Hong Yuye asked.
“For more than sixteen years,” Jiang Hao said.
He had obtained the seed when he was eighteen, and now he was thirty-five.
Upon careful thought, he realized he had been growing that particular flower for a long time, and he had known the woman in front of him for a long time as well.
In these years, he felt he had been quite busy, and the first eighteen years had seemed like a child’s play.
Likewise, the speed of his advancement was remarkably fast.
In seventeen years, he had advanced from the Foundation Establishment Realm to the Return to Void Realm.
Now, he was in the late stage of the Return to Void Realm.
The advancement to other realms wouldn’t take so long.
However, with such rapid progress, it was easy to lose oneself.
“Seventeen years from Lifeblood Refinement Realm to the Golden Core Realm?” Hong Yuye turned to look at the man behind her.
Jiang Hao lowered his head. “Yes.”
“When you have time, you can look into the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl,” said
Hong Yuye.
“Why do you say that, Senior?” Jiang Hao asked.
Hong Yuye got up and smiled charmingly. “Sometimes it’s not that you go after ill luck. It could be that unlucky things can also target you.”
Her figure gradually disappeared.
A short while later, Jiang Hao frowned and muttered to himself, “What did she mean by that? What’s wrong with the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl?”
‘I’m targeted by unlucky things?’ That couldn’t be possible.
He didn’t possess anything unusual. If he was targeted, it would have happened long ago.
“Is it because I went to the Blood Pool last time?”
If there was something unusual, it was that the Blood Pool saw the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl. So did its presence trigger something and it locked onto him?
“But how could such a fierce creature target a person?”
Unless…
Jiang Hao took out the sealed fragment of the Earth Extreme Heart Devouring Pearl. It had a possibility of awakening the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl that had been dormant for eons.
He began sensing the part that was still missing from the bead.
By doing this, he might also become a target himself.
The likelihood of this was high, so what should he do?
After a moment of hesitation, Jiang Hao decided to find a suitable time to enter the Blood Pool and see if he could send the fragment out through the pool.
He could also send it to Gu Jin. This way, he could free himself from any potential consequences, and he could keep an eye on it in the future.
After all, it was in his vicinity, and he couldn’t afford any issues.
Jiang Hao continued to cultivate in the courtyard. He had gained some insights from Shang An’s ascension.
His state of mind underwent significant changes, and he needed to immerse himself in it to continue comprehending it.
Several days later, in mid-April, Jiang Hao felt the stone tablet vibrate. The gathering was scheduled to begin at midnight.
After more than half a year, it was finally time.
He had to decide whether to investigate the Corpse Realm. If he really did, he might find out what consequences the stele’s revelation would bring.
It would also allow him to understand how Shang An’s ascension might affect the surroundings.
Other than that, things seemed to be going well.
There wasn’t anything that required his attention, except for the attitude of the overseas people toward Smiling San Sheng.
