Chapter 763: Seventeen Years Had Passed....
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Jiang Hao frowned and looked at the information about the Corpse Realm.
The assumptions were extraordinary, but speculations were, after all, just speculations.
Moreover, it didn’t affect him.
Whether it was about other worlds or someone’s cave, there were currently no powerful beings involved.
So, he could enter while evading disasters.
That was enough.
The rest of the information was not very useful. He couldn’t determine what would happen upon his entry.
Then, he continued reading the information in the notebook.
The Corpse Realm was separated from the outside world by a vast formation. Beneath this formation lay an area unknown to people.
According to some individuals from the Divine Corpse Sect, it might be an ocean. A never-ending and impassable sea.
People in the north had the same view, but some in the west claimed to see glaciers.
If he entered the Corpse Realm at the peak of Return to Void Realm, he might even come across these things. However, there was a high chance he might fall into them and never come out.
The most incomprehensible aspect of the Corpse Realm was the Heavenly Stele Mountain.
It possessed sovereign abilities, and countless powerful laws were hidden within.
Most mysterious was the stone tablet at the very top.
It was said that the imprint on the Heavenly Stele could be used to peer into the other side of the Corpse Realm.
However, no one had attempted it.
The founder of the Divine Corpse Sect regretted not leaving an imprint on the Heavenly Stele.
However, based on the records he left behind, they found a way to stay in the Corpse Realm.
To better explore the secrets of the Corpse Realm, they ventured into the Corpse Sea.
Regarding the Corpse Realm, perhaps the Heavenly Spirit Tribe might know a lot, but their clan had no relevant records.
If one truly wanted to understand the Corpse Realm, one could go to the coast of the Corpse Sea and seek the founder. Perhaps, they might still be alive.
Jiang Hao frowned.
This was similar to what Zhuang Yuzhen had mentioned. With higher cultivation, it was easier to see things inside. However, this information talked about glaciers.
Zhuang Yuzhen saw the sea.
Yet, what concerned him most was the founder of the Divine Corpse Sect.
He was within the Corpse Realm. He might still be alive.
The only question was, where was the coastline of the Corpse Sea?
And was it related to the sea Zhuang Yuzhen saw there?
Everything was uncertain. Jiang Hao put away the book.
He couldn’t determine anything and had to set it aside for the time being.
He had gone to check, but it seemed the blossoming of the Corpse Realm Flowers wouldn’t happen anytime soon.
Unlike last time, there were no arrogant individuals from the Divine Corpse Sect.
Jiang Hao was content with this.
However, after a few days, he heard that someone from the Heavenly Gate Sect was going to visit the Heavenly Note Sect.
The Heavenly Gate Sect was a major sect in the southern region.
It was even more prominent than the Blackheaven Sect. It could be considered one of the top sects in the south.
Perhaps the rise of the Grand Earth Emperor had ruffled them.
As the Corpse Realm Flowers were about to blossom, they were visiting.
Their intentions were evident.
Jiang Hao didn’t know much about the sect, but he needed to be on his guard.
The Heavenly Note Sect was exemplary in the South_ and the Heavenly Gate
Sect was even more prominent than that.
Fortunately, they hadn’t arrived yet.
After that, Jiang Hao resumed his normal days.
There was no need to think much about the gathering, and the sect also didn’t require anything from him.
Feng Hua and others had gone quiet. Everyone was either cultivating or getting stronger.
There was nothing much to be concerned about.
The only thing to worry about was perhaps Lin Zhi and Chu Chuan. They had been out for a long time and hadn’t returned to the sect.
The coming days were indeed peaceful. Winter passed, spring arrived, and five months swiftly flew by.
With time, some things changed along with it.
Jiang Hao’s bubbles were among those things.
Every day there would be white bubbles, and every seven days, there would be blue bubbles.
Occasionally, they appeared at irregular times.
In these five months, nothing unexpected occurred, and more people from the sect began to return.
Those who had previously gained opportunities began to venture out.
Jiang Hao opened his eyes from his cultivation.
He breathed a sigh of relief and then closed his eyes again.
At noon, he opened his eyes once more. His cultivation felt steady.
He took a look at his interface.
[Name: Jiang Hao]
[Age: 36]
[Cultivation Level: Peak of the Return to the Void Realm]
[Cultivation Method: Heavenly Sound Hundred Revolutions, Hong Meng Heart Sutra]
[Divine Ability: Nine Revolutions Death Substitution (unique), Daily Appraisal,
Clear and Pure Heart, Reappearance of Hidden Spirit, Divine Might, Revival of Withered Tree, Heavenly Cauldron, Indestructible Vajra]
[Lifeforce: 3/100 (cannot be cultivated)] [Cultivation: 0/100 (cannot be cultivated)] [Divine Abilities: 1/3 (cannot be obtained)] ‘Thirty-six years old…’
Jiang Hao felt somewhat sentimental.
When he was nineteen, he had first met Hong Yuye. From then on, his life hadn’t been the same.
His cultivation also began to skyrocket around that time.
In just seventeen years, he leaped from the early stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm to the peak of Return to Void Realm.
He might be able to step into the Immortal Ascension Platform before he reached forty.
If he could tend to spirit herbs in the same way, he could attempt to advance when he reached thirty-eight.
In the afternoon, Jiang Hao restored the Reappearance of Hidden Spirit and replenished two attack techniques in his wrist guards.
That day, he also took the spirit beast to the Spirit Herb Garden.
“Have Lin Zhi and the others returned?” Jiang Hao asked.
“They have. One came back looking completely beaten, while the other broke through to the late stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm, ” said the spirit beast.
Jiang Hao was surprised and asked for details.
“They said they met a righteous immortal on the way and ended up fighting.
They were chased for over half a year and only managed to get back now. One could only take a beating, while the other became stronger the more they fought.” The spirit beast shook its head and sighed. “They ended up like that because they didn’t invoke my name. Otherwise, my friends in the cultivation path would have helped, and they wouldn’t have been chased.”
Jiang Hao glanced at the spirit beast but didn’t say anything else.
Lin Zhi seemed to run into such encounters frequently.
If the spirit beast didn’t accompany them, they would be chased longer.
It was still alright. They could learn from their experience.
This way, even when descending the mountain, they would understand what mattered more.
“How is Xiao Li’s pet?” Jiang Hao asked about the Nine Nether.
“Behaving. It shows me respect,” said the spirit beast as it munched on a carrot.
Jiang Hao nodded. It seemed the Nine Nether was still obedient.
However, he still needed to pay close attention to avoid any problems. He had to check if the seal had weakened. If it had, it meant it had a lot on its mind.
On the way, Jiang Hao received a message.
It was from his master. Someone was going to visit the Spirit Herb Garden, and Jiang Hao was asked to make the necessary preparations.
‘Who wants to visit the Spirit Herb Garden?’ Jiang Hao was puzzled.
“Has anyone visited the sect recently?” he asked the spirit beast.
The spirit beast swiveled its collar around its neck. “Yes. Someone from the Heavenly Gate Sect. They are not my friends. Master, be careful. But you can try mentioning my name. Everyone knows about Lord Beat’s reputation.
Perhaps they’ve heard of it and might show you respect.”
“People from the Heavenly Gate Sect?” Jiang Hao was surprised.
He had been focused on the bubbles these past few days because he was on the verge of advancement.
He hadn’t expected people from the Heavenly Gate Sect to arrive already.
Although their arrival wasn’t helpful, it should be alright as long as he did his part.
After the visit, they probably wouldn’t have any further interactions..
