Chapter 766: Another Person In The Lawless Tower....
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
He was going to the Corpse Realm.
The news took Jiang Hao by surprise.
The opening of the Corpse Realm this time had nothing to do with him. He had already entered last time, so he didn’t need to enter again.
Opportunities should be given to others who didn’t have it before, and perhaps a truly exceptional individual might emerge.
Hence, it was uncommon to allow the same person to enter a secret realm twice.
After all, the effect of the second time was significantly worse than the first. It was better to give this opportunity to someone else.
“Why am I selected to go?” Jiang Hao asked.
He didn’t expect it. Although he had secretly desired to enter it again, he didn’t know if his cultivation realm might pose problems.
The peak of the Return to Void Realm was the limit to enter the Corpse Realm. Using simple means to conceal himself might not work.
Shang An and Gui had both tried it. Suppressing one’s cultivation realm wasn’t a problem. But for Jiang Hao, it was more about concealment than suppression. It made things more complicated.
He couldn’t ask for details and could only try to hide while trying to suppress his cultivation.
In theory, hiding his cultivation didn’t mean he could escape the notice of the Corpse Realm. Otherwise, the Heavenly Stele Mountain wouldn’t have called for him.
Entering without preparation might mean being devoured by the ocean.
“The reason is simple. Junior Brother Jiang, your recent achievements have been remarkable. Such places prioritize disciples with high achievements, regardless of who they are. If their achievements are high, they get priority,” said Liu Xingchen.
Jiang Hao fell silent for a moment. This was indeed unexpected.
However, with adequate preparation, there should be no problems.
“How were the slots distributed this time?” Jiang Hao asked.
“There were a total of forty-eight slots. Our sect selected sixteen people. The
Mountain Sea Sword Sect and the Divine Corpse Sect selected ten each. The Heavenly Gate Sect selected twelve.”
“The Heavenly Gate Sect has so many?” Jiang Hao was surprised.
The Heavenly Gate Sect shouldn’t have that many people, at least not more than the Mountain Sea Sword Sect.
“It was originally eight, but they were given an additional four slots.” Liu Xingchen chuckled.
Jiang Hao understood. They had suffered significant losses, and they needed to be placated.
It made sense.
After talking for a while, Liu Xingchen left.
Jiang Hao didn’t pay much attention to that and began to plan for the Corpse Realm.
However, there was another matter he was worried about. The issue with Flowing Waterfall’s spirit herbs still needed solving.
He had appraised the spirit herbs and found issues with them. Someone had intentionally tempered with them.
The person behind it was Qiu Luo. It was a name Jiang Hao had encountered before.
He had seen the name before in the Law Enforcement Hall’s underground city.
But Jiang Hao still had no clue who this person actually was.
This person wasn’t simple at all. He had never provoked the Flowing Waterfall branch in his life, so why were they after him?
This was what confused him. He found no reason for them to do so.
It was evident that the other party was exceptionally well-informed. But for what purpose?
After waiting for a while, Jiang Hao saw Qu Wenwu approach. He was here this time to negotiate the compensation.
Jiang Hao lowered his head.
The spirit herbs were valuable, but he had no evidence to prove that the issue wasn’t due to his method. In this negotiation, he had no advantage.
At that moment, Bai Yi arrived too.
“Whose spirit herbs are they?” he asked.
“It belongs to Senior Brother Jia Chen,” Qu Wenwu respectfully said.
“Let him come and discuss this matter with me in person,” Bai Yi said.
That day, not a single person above the Foundation Establishment Realm from Flowing Waterfall visited the garden again. The others just gave up on compensation and reclaimed the withered spirit herbs.
Jiang Hao was surprised. The other person didn’t demand anything further.
He thanked Senior Brother Bai Yi for this. Bai Yi just nodded without saying much.
Senior Brother Qu was also helpless.
On the path of cultivation, no one had it easy.
Everyone treaded on thin ice and advanced through difficulties.
In the evening, Jiang Hao left the market.
He had been selling talismans and hadn’t met Senior Sister Leng Tian and Senior Brother Duan Guan.
He had amassed a little over ten thousand spirit stones.
With fewer sect members lately, even earning this much was difficult.
He needed to continue accumulating spirit stones.
Hong Yuye hadn’t visited yet. He needed to prepare things before entering the Corpse Realm.
Otherwise, it would be challenging to buy things inside the Corpse Realm.
He had decided what to do in the Corpse Realm this time.
He intended to use the Corpse Realm to reach the Immortal Ascension Platform.
This way, he would also be considered a strong individual.
Although he was not strong enough, he had surpassed many.
The Immortal Ascension Platform from the Return to Void would be a considerable leap.
If there was enough time after that, he would try to find the founder of the Divine Corpse Sect.
Since he was going to the Corpse Realm, he had to visit the Lawless Tower. It had been a long time since he last visited. He wondered how things were there.
He wanted to see what the situation was with Heavenly King Hai Luo.
On the other side, Bi Zhu led Qiao Yi along the mountain path and headed toward the direction of the Lawless Tower.
The one leading the way was Yinsha.
Upon hearing that an important client had arrived, she didn’t dare neglect them.
“Senior, can anyone be redeemed from the Lawless Tower?” Bi Zhu asked innocently.
“In theory, yes,” Yinsha said without going into much detail. “If they refuse to leave, will you release them anyway?” Bi Zhu asked.
Yinsha chuckled. “They will certainly want to leave.”
Qiao Yi followed behind. She felt strange.
What kind of place could imprison people and trade them like goods?
A demonic sect was indeed somewhat surprising.
However. she remembered that the person they were after was strong. How
had they ended up in such a situation?
After a while, the group arrived in front of the Lawless Tower.
Bi Zhu was excited. It was her first time entering the Lawless Tower.
Almost everyone they wanted to find during the gathering had been in there.
There were many rumors about this place, but few had actually seen it. Those who entered rarely came out unscathed.
Now that she had the opportunity, she wanted to use it fully.
Soon, Yinsha handed them jade pendants to protect them from the Lawless Tower, and the group ventured inside.
However, shortly after entering, they saw a person slowly climbing up the stairs.
“Junior Brother Jiang!” Yinsha was quite surprised, “It’s been a while since you visited. ”
Jiang Hao turned around and was surprised to see Bi Zhu.
Still, he greeted her. “I’ve been in cultivation.”
Bi Zhu felt apprehensive looking at the person before her. This person carried the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl.
“Friend Jiang, it’s been a while. Do you still remember me?” she asked with a smile.
Jiang Hao nodded but didn’t say much.
If he had known that she would be here, he wouldn’t have left the Cliff of Broken Hearts.
Now, he could only quietly follow along.
Although Yinsha was surprised, she didn’t ask further.
The four of them arrived at the fifth floor together.
Jiang Hao noticed that there were more people this time.
There was Zhuang Yuzhen, Hai Luo, Nangong Yue, Wu Yang, and Yin Zichen as usual. Then, there was a new addition: Mi Lingyue.
Jiang Hao hadn’t noticed that she was here.
Apparently, many things had happened unnoticed..
