Chapter 776: Bubbles Falling Nonstop....
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
There were many people at the first stone stele, but most of them merely observed without truly understanding it.
“Why do they keep staring?” Guan Zhongfei asked.
“I’ve heard that opportunities are hard to come by. Heavenly Stele Mountain will only stay here for a month, and obtaining an opportunity within that time is already at the limit,” Dole said.
Guan Zhongfei nodded. “Do you want to go up and take a look?”
The first stone stele wasn’t much. There was nothing much to glean from it.
It was common knowledge that the good stuff was at the top.
Jiang Hao shook his head. “You go up first. I’ll stay here and take a look.”
“Then, friend, be careful. We’ll meet at the foot of the mountain after we’re done,” Dole said.
Jiang Hao nodded.
Guan Zhongfei relaxed and began climbing up.
As they moved away, Jiang Hao thought about what to do.
With so many people, it seemed odd for him to wipe the stele clean. So, he activated the Heavenly Cauldron.
He pulled everyone into it and then veiled their perceptions.
However, when he attempted to wipe the stele, he found that it was impossible.
The stone stele couldn’t be brought into the cauldron.
With a sigh, he put away the Heavenly Cauldron.
He tampered with their perceptions with divine power so that they would only see illusions.
There was no dirt.
There was only some dirt at the bottom. When he wiped it, several bubbles spawned. None were blue or green.
Jiang Hao wasn’t too disappointed. It was better than nothing.
The first stele was seen and touched by all. It was only natural that it was clean. He was satisfied as long as he could get even a few bubbles.
This increased the likelihood of something significant being up at the top.
After wiping the stele, he gained ten white bubbles.
Jiang Hao stepped toward the second stone stele.
The others didn’t notice anything unusual. Most here were Golden Core Realm cultivators and were easily deceived.
The situation might change later if he encountered a Primordial Spirit Realm cultivator.
The rest should be easy. Even if he was discovered, it wouldn’t cause him any damage.
But before making his move, he needed to observe the surroundings and ensure no hidden cultivators were around.
He tried not to offend anyone, especially with stronger cultivators. It was always better not to act rashly.
At the second stone stele, there were mostly Golden Core Realm cultivators, but notably fewer than at the first.
He activated his divine power again. He wiped the stele and gained only eight white bubbles.
Just because he got more this time didn’t mean he got something better.
Jiang Hao glanced at the peak of the mountain. There were a hundred and eight stone steles in total, thirty-six Heavenly Constellation Spirits, and seventy-two Earth Seals.
Among them, reaching the Heavenly Constellation Spirits was extremely challenging, but the Earth Seals were relatively easier.
So, the Heavenly Constellation Spirits might yield good returns. ‘I wonder if anyone will reach the highest point this time.’ Many aspired to reach the top, but only a few succeeded.
He didn’t know if there were any remarkable people this time.
At the third stone stele, Dole had stayed behind.
Jiang Hao didn’t greet him but used divine power to deceive everyone and then wiped the stone stele.
This time, there were two green bubbles.
‘That’s something, at least…
Jiang Hao continued upward. By the tenth stone stele, he finally got a blue bubble.
[Cultivation +1]
He glanced at his interface.
It was currently July, and he hadn’t accumulated many bubbles.
[Name: Jiang Hao]
[Age: 36]
[Cultivation Level: Peak of the Return to the Void Realm]
[Cultivation Method: Heavenly Sound Hundred Revolutions, Hong Meng Heart

[Lifeblood: 12/100 (can be cultivated)] [Cultivation: 9/100 (cannot be cultivated)] [Divine Abilities: 1/3 (cannot be obtained)]
Since it was only the tenth stele, there were still many people.
However, the number of Golden Core Realm cultivators started decreasing.
Conflict rarely occurred on Heavenly Stele Mountain. Everyone was here to seek opportunities, not to fight.
After that, Jiang Hao occasionally encountered blue bubbles.
At the thirtieth stone stele, Jiang Hao didn’t see Guan Zhongfei. He probably headed to the Heavenly Constellation Spirits.
Regardless, it didn’t affect him.
Jiang Hao arrived at the last Earth Seal, the seventy-second stone stele.
The last Earth Seal must be special.
There weren’t many people here. There were only about a dozen with a high cultivation realm. Even the weakest was in the middle stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm.
Jiang Hao’s arrival didn’t attract anyone’s attention.
By now, his cultivation had changed. He was no longer in the Golden Core Realm but at the peak of the Primordial Spirit Realm. If someone noticed him, they wouldn’t cause trouble.
“Sky in the Well.”
Jiang Hao looked at the words in surprise.
Was it the same last time?
It was too quick then, so he had no time to pay attention.
Many people began climbing up.
Among them was a young man with a sword. He stood in place for a long time. He then shook his head and sighed. “It’s not what I want.”
He then continued forward in dissatisfaction.
Jiang Hao glanced at the person. He was also at the peak of the Primordial Spirit Realm. His aura resembled a sharp sword with restrained sword intent.
He was very strong.
Fortunately, he had left. Jiang Hao didn’t want to use his divine abilities recklessly.
There was a chance of being discovered.
After waiting for some time, Jiang Hao activated his divine ability, Divine Might.
After veiling their perception, Jiang Hao approached the stone stele to start wiping.
Unlike before, this stone stele was surprisingly dirty.
After he wiped for a while, two blue bubbles popped up.
[Cultivation +1] [Lifeblood +1]
“So many?”
Jiang Hao was astonished, but he continued wiping.
[Strength +1] [Spirit +1]
[Cultivation +1]
[Spirit Sword +1] [Spirit Spear +1]
[Lifeblood +1]
As Jiang Hao wiped, a string of bubbles dropped.
The speed at which they popped up made him happy.
He had never expected there to be so many.
Jiang Hao wiped slowly. He feared he might wipe the stone stele clean too quickly.
He wondered if the last stone stele was special. Whenever the dirt was cleared,
bubbles appeared.
Although most were white or green, they were incomparable to the previous stone steles.
At that moment, his cultivation points were gradually increasing.
He might not have to wait for a year to advance if this was the case. After a little while, Jiang Hao finished wiping the last corner.
[Lifeblood +1]
A blue bubble fell.
Looking at the clean stone stele, Jiang Hao felt reluctant to leave.
He wiped it again to make sure he hadn’t missed any spots.
At the foot of Heavenly Stele Mountain, Yin Xueni looked at the peak. She stayed at the first stone stele. Jiang Hao would definitely pass through here.
It would be much easier to find him this way.
Unless he dared not come…
She didn’t believe anyone would reject such an opportunity.
As long as she killed him, her thoughts would be clear, and it would help immensely with her cultivation.
Perhaps there was a chance for her to reach the Soul Ascension Realm.
However, she couldn’t concentrate on her cultivation. All she could think about was how Jiang Hao had humiliated her.
Her complex emotions made her resonate with the first stone stele.
For a moment, she entered an empty space where she saw only one figure who was using a divine ability.
The colors of the sky and earth changed..
