Chapter 781: Just Getting Started....
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Before entering the Corpse Realm, Jiang Hao understood that there were two types of seas.
One was the Corpse Sea. It was a sea that would appear occasionally but wasn’t as dangerous.
It was just not commonly seen. It was similar to Heavenly Stele Mountain.
The other was the Endless Sea. It was a sea where one would be pulled into upon entry.
Once inside, there was no escape. One couldn’t enter or leave.
At that time, it was uncertain whether one could even stay alive.
Jiang Hao didn’t know exactly what kind of sea it was. He didn’t think about it any longer.
Instead, he collected his things.
He left behind the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl.
He tried to put away his belongings, and as he did so, the waves appeared.
The Endless Sea emerged.
Jiang Hao felt as if he was about to plunge into an abyss.
Without hesitation, he took out the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl again.
In an instant, the space became stable, The sea area gradually vanished too.
Jiang Hao breathed a sigh of relief.
He was curious how Gui and the others had entered the Corpse Realm and remained unharmed.
He had just advanced to the Immortal Ascension Platform.
If it were above the Immortal Ascension Platform, wouldn’t he have fallen into the Endless Sea?
Hiding was of no use. His ability to conceal his cultivation had surpassed numerous others.
But he still needed to rely on the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl here.
‘Perhaps I need another identity..
Jiang Hao recalled that Shang An and others had used someone else’s identity to enter the realm.
However, Shang An’s true form appeared after a while. Jiang Hao didn’t know how he had managed to avoid danger then.
Jiang Hao shook his head and set aside his thoughts.
Shang An had prepared for many years. Perhaps there were more ways.
He didn’t have that much time to prepare.
After packing his things, he left.
The Yin Yang Bracelet also returned to his wrist.
It was almost October. He planned to rest for a few days and then continue mining because his mind wasn’t at peace.
After advancing to the Immortal Ascension Platform, he had gained formidable power.
There was an impulse within him to challenge someone.
He felt like he was invincible.
Such feelings were normal. He calmed himself down.
As he left the cave, his aura gradually diminished and stabilized to display his cultivation at the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm.
He looked around but found no one.
‘They haven’t returned yet?’
The place was as desolate as ever, but many spirit herbs grew on the ground.
Spiritual energy was also gathering densely here.
Having ascended to the Immortal Ascension Platform, his perception had sharpened.
Coupled with the knowledge from the nameless manual, he could sense the aura in the mountains too.
Although it was barren and dry here, there seemed to be an underlying force of mountains and rivers underground, which remained dormant and unseen… as if it was waiting for something.
It didn’t seem entirely natural. It felt as though it was man-made.
The details were hard to understand.
The perception that came with the Immortal Ascension Platform wasn’t enough. He needed the help of the Heaven Lock Technique.
From this perspective, the one who created this place was quite formidable.
After waiting for a long time, he still didn’t see anyone return.
Three days later, Guan Zhongfei returned with a radiant smile on his face.
When he saw Jiang Hao, he stopped smiling and bowed to him.
He was surprised. Although Jiang Hao still seemed to be in the middle stage of the Golden he seemed to possess a different aura.
It felt as though getting closer to him would be fatal.
“Did the selling of ores go well?” Jiang Hao looked at him.
“Yes. We earned a total of seventy thousand spirit stones.” Guan Zhongfei presented all seventy thousand spirit stones.
Jiang Hao knew that they had met a big client.
This reminded him of Senior Sister Leng Tian and Senior Brother Duan Guan.
It had been a long time since he had seen them.
“Now, we have a total of 120,000 spirit stones,” Jiang Hao said.
After dividing it, he could also earn more than forty thousand for himself.
He felt wealthy again.
Adding the twenty thousand he already had, he would have a lot of spirit stones.
“Do you have September Spring on you?” Jiang Hao suddenly asked.
Guan Zhongfei shook his head.
Jiang Hao waited for Dole to return.
However, he still didn’t return even after two days.
“It’s time,” Guan Zhongfei said.
Jiang Hao nodded. Being a day or two late was normal.
During this time, he had tried to study the art of forging, which was truly profound.
His only regret was that he didn’t seem to have a talent for it.
However, it might still be useful to keep it for later.
Someday, when he desired to learn it again, he could give it a try.
But for now, he set it aside.
Jiang Hao didn’t have as much time to fuss over forging matters. After all, cultivating spirit herbs and making talismans already took up most of his time.
The remaining time was covered by mining.
So, there was no time to do other things.
Two more days passed.
In early October, Jiang Hao still didn’t see Dole. Instead, he saw some Golden Core Realm cultivators.
These were the same three people he had encountered before.
It was fate.
However, their arrival didn’t seem like a coincidence.
“Dole must have run into some trouble,” said Jiang Hao. He stood up and walked toward the three people.
“You can leave these little fries to me,” said Guan Zhongfei. He intended to show off a bit.
Jiang Hao shook his head. “No need.”
Guan Zhongfei probably didn’t care about Dole, so Jiang Hao didn’t need to force the issue.
However, Jiang Hao wanted to know the details. If he was powerless, then there was nothing he could do.
If it was within his capabilities, he would do his best to save Dole. What Dole had done for him was a small matter, but he couldn’t leave him in danger.
He had saved Jiang Hao from the three Golden Core Realm cultivators before. They seemed excited to see him. “It seems we’ve found the right place.” “Are you here to mine?” Jiang Hao asked softly.
“Mine?” The man in the lead chuckled. “Who would mine in this place? We’re here to snatch your gains from mining.”
It seemed their guess was correct.
“Dole refused to speak. I guess there is no ‘senior’ to speak of in this place, after all. Just a bunch of Golden cultivators… That’s why he refused to speak. It seems he was saving other weaklings. I don’t even know why Dole’s sect chose him to enter this place, ” said the man in the lead with a sneer.
Jiang Hao had already guessed that Dole had been captured, but he hadn’t disclosed their location.
“Can you tell me where Dole is?” Jiang Hao asked softly.
The three people burst into laughter.
“You better consider your own fate. You still dare to…” Before the man in the lead could finish his words, he felt his vision blur.
Finally, with a thud, he fell to the ground.
For a moment, he was dazed. Then, he fainted.
His blood splashed onto the other two.
They were still laughing, but now, they froze in place.
“Can you tell me where Dole is?” asked Jiang Hao.
At that moment, the two of them looked at Jiang Hao in disbelief.
They saw that he held a blade in his hand. That blade had killed their leader.
“You…” The woman charged forward angrily. “How dare you…”
Splat!
There was a slash, and the person fell to the ground.
She was no longer breathing.
Jiang Hao looked at the last person standing. “I don’t like to repeat myself..”
