Jiang Hao sat cross-legged in his place of cultivation and thought about the incident, which had mostly depended on luck.
Everything had happened so quickly that he had tried to find a temporary and immediate solution. The ones who could help had fortunately appeared at the last minute.
If there had been no stone tablet, things would have been catastrophic.
Fortunately, he had met Gu Jin. Otherwise, the West would have delayed in providing help.
Every aspect had depended on luck. To him, it felt like he had been very fortunate that things had worked out.
During the sealing process, he dared not be distracted and was uncertain if his effort might be in vain.
Everything just exceeded his limits.
If he hadn’t forced himself…
He couldn’t help but shake his head. It was best not to dwell on it.
When he was sealing the pearl, it felt as though all the energy and spirit in his body had been sucked dry.
Moreover, the four pillars collapsed and were engulfed by the seawater.
It was uncertain whether they could be used again.
He had no idea how the outside world was reacting to this.
He could only wait for the next gathering to find out.
For now, he needed to focus on his own condition. He needed to understand the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl in his hand.
He used his Daily Appraisal ability.
[Earth Extreme Silent Pearl: Sealed by the Universe in a Palm. In ancient times, someone traveled across the land and visited myriad races. They sought the creatures of heaven and earth and collected a drop of blood from countless beings, regardless of strength. After countless years, the collective blood and flesh coalesced. Under the influence of time and careful preparation, the well-preserved blood and flesh began to merge and started absorbing the surrounding blood and flesh. The converged point experienced wars among creatures and absorbed endless blood and flesh. It transformed within the heavens and the earth, and now, it’s complete. When sealed, it can subdue the physical body without fear of aura suppression. Seven days later, the seal will be broken. If it’s not sealed again, it will distort space and absorb the blood and flesh of all living beings. The earth will return to silence.]
Jiang Hao quickly reinforced the seal within the Universe in a Palm.
Once the pearl erupted, he would be crushed within a breath.
However, there was still a possibility of escape.
The Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl was already terrifying enough.
Among the two pearls, the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl still posed a greater threat.
After sealing it, Jiang Hao put the pearl aside and then took out the fragment of the Earth Extreme Heart Devouring Pearl.
This time, there was no reaction between the two.
Moreover, the appraisal result indicated that the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl was now complete. It might mean that it had become independent of the Earth Extreme Heart Devouring Pearl.
Next, Jiang Hao took out the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl and the Nine Nether.
The Nine Nether seemed scared when placed between the two pearls.
It was already slow-witted, but now, it might have entirely given up on using its brain.
After showing the Nine Nether its new neighbors, Jiang Hao put away the items.
Once the gathering began, they would discuss the fate of the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl.
If those people were interested, he could give it away.
If the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl erupted elsewhere, he would have time to plan his escape while the other sects attempted to seal it.
If it erupted where he was, it would be a matter of life and death.
The Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl couldn’t be handed over because if it erupted, he would definitely die.
Sighing, Jiang Hao walked to the courtyard and looked at the peach tree.
His mind was not at peace. He needed to find a way to calm himself so he could continue his daily life.
The changes in the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl had affected Devil’s Den, but no one knew the exact situation.
The Heavenly Note Sect would also be busy with their own affairs as usual.
At most, someone would come and find him to ask about it.
He had already prepared an excuse to distance himself from it.
At night, the spirit beast returned with a few fruits for Jiang Hao.
“Master, have you come out of seclusion? Xiao Li asked me to bring these over.”
Jiang Hao accepted them. They were white.
He took a bite. They tasted bitter.
‘Could these even be eaten?’
“You have them.” He gave the fruits to the spirit beast.
He hoped the spirit beast could eat them. Nothing seemed to make it suffer.
At that moment, he glanced at his interface. He wanted to know how long it would take him to advance further.
It had been a long time since he last paid attention to it.
[Name: Jiang Hao]
[Age: 35]
[Cultivation Level: Late stage of the Return to Void Realm]
[Cultivation Method: Heavenly Sound Hundred Revolutions, Hong Meng Heart

“Forty-eight… halfway there…”
Jiang Hao thought about it for a moment. From October last year until now, almost a year had passed, and he was only halfway through.
Candlelight Pill Pavilion soon.
It was almost time to receive the high-grade spirit herbs.
Even if it meant a loss, he had to continue.
The next day, Jiang Hao began his daily routine and waited for the stone tablet to notify him about the gathering.
However, half a month passed without any messages.
He did receive a visit from Liu Xingchen.
It had been a long time since he had appraised Liu Xingchen. He didn’t know his condition now.
Jiang Hao appraised him.
[Liu Xingchen: True disciple of the Heavenly Faction. Born with the aura of the
True Dragon. An undercover agent for the Heavenly Note Sect’s Law Enforcement Hall. The seed of evil bloomed in his body, and it now nourishes the three remnant souls. When his original essence is stronger than the evil influence, he can suppress them easily. Due to recent events, he bit off half of those three remnants to observe the changes better. Presently, his cultivation is nearing the late stage of the Soul Ascension Realm but with severe side effects. He needs time for everything to settle before completing a smooth advancement. He came to find you because, apparently, you’ve done something astonishing yet again.]
‘The seed of evil blooming within him?’ Jiang Hao was surprised. This was something he hadn’t anticipated.
However, it seemed that everything was under his control.
As long as he could suppress it, there would be no problem. If he couldn’t, he would be controlled by those remnants.
It wasn’t clear if Liu Xingchen had intentionally allowed himself to be possessed before.
However, it was clear that Liu Xingchen had absolute control since he had bitten off half of the three remnant souls.
The last line surprised him. What had he done this time?
“Good morning, Junior Brother Jiang,” said Liu Xingchen with a smile.
Jiang Hao politely said, “Good morning to you too, Senior Brother Liu.”
“Junior Brother Jiang, are you planning to clear your name from the list in the Law Enforcement Hall?” asked Liu Xingchen.
Jiang Hao looked puzzled. “Why do you ask that, Senior Brother?”
No one in the entire sect needed to be on that list more than him. The list was what saved his life.
Previously, when his cultivation had reached the late stage of the Return to Void Realm, he had been confident. However, he now understood that there were even stronger people than himself.
It was unnecessary to take risks. He didn’t want to venture outside.
If it involved something important, he would withdraw immediately and not get involved in anything.
Liu Xingchen seemed to be enjoying the show, “Right now, the Law Enforcement Hall and the Merit Hall are at odds. They think your merits are high, so your name shouldn’t be hanging in the suspect list.”
Jiang Hao was speechless..
