Lou Mantian walked on the road and continued forward.
He looked at the surroundings as if searching for something. He was deep in thought.
At that moment, he took out a spirit stone. He bit into it and swallowed it.
Suddenly, the sky rumbled.
A white light soared in the sky.
It was a jade pendant.
Lou Mantian watched the jade pendant fly through the air. He smiled softly.
He continued onward.
Meanwhile, in the Mountain God Village, after leaving the cave with Chu Jie, Bi Zhu enjoyed a nice dinner prepared by the villagers.
Bi Zhu suddenly realized something.
She had never cared whether these people were good or evil because it had nothing to do with her.
She had just passed through this village and needed a place to stay.
She didn’t care whether they were good or evil because it was of no use to her.
The reason was that they couldn’t hurt her, irrespective of whether they were good people or not.
So, she had never thought of them as anyone of use or as a threat.
‘It seems I was too self-absorbed. It looks like I’m not suitable for the Four Great Emptiness, after all.’ Bi Zhu laughed.
At night, she and Chu Jie sat in the courtyard and gazed at the starry sky. They enjoyed the peace of the night sky.
“Is your cultivation advancing smoothly?” Bi Zhu suddenly asked.
“In this world, there probably isn’t anyone who has as much advantage as me,” said Chu Jie. “I feel that as people gain something, they lose something as well. I have some thoughts about what I would lose. But… it’ll be my choice.”
“Isn’t it too soon? You’re still so young…” Bi Zhu sighed.
“How old are you, Senior Sister Bi Zhu?” “I just turned eighteen last year.”
“Oh? I’m in my twenties.”
Qiao Yi was bewildered. She couldn’t believe Chu Jie was in her twenties. She didn’t look like she was lying. Was it really possible for a twenty-year-old to be in the Primordial Spirit Realm?
Suddenly, a bright light flashed through the sky. The three saw two streaks of light whizzing by.
“What is that?” Bi Zhu asked.
The lights had come and gone too quickly.
Bi Zhu wanted to ask again, but the lights seemed to return.
A white jade pendant fell in front of Chu Jie, and another circled around Bi Zhu. It looked unsure whether she was the right person.
Bi Zhu frowned. She didn’t feel like she wanted this pendant.
Things related to the one with the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment weren’t for someone as ordinary as her.
Suddenly, the white jade pendant hesitated and then fell in front of Bi Zhu.
It seemed to have made its mind.
‘What is this?” Chu Jie asked.
Bi Zhu thought of what Liu Ying had said before.
In the vortex of fate, both she and the one with the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment were involved.
In the Thousand Springs River, Jiang Hao looked at the three people. He was unsure what to say to them.
He couldn’t tell them he was Gu Jin. It would attract too much attention.
“Disciple Gu, you have obtained the Jade Pendant of Fortune. It seems something big is going to happen,” said Jing Dajiang solemnly. “These things don’t appear often, but when they do, it means something big is going to happen. It might be related to the Sage’s Pages.”
“Can it guide me to find them?” Jiang Hao asked curiously.
“Maybe. We didn’t get one, so we don’t know,” said Jing Dajiang.
“Seniors, none of you could catch it?” Jiang Hao asked.
“Yes,” said Jing Dajiang. “Every major event will affect the situation in the West.
Only those involved in the vortex of fate can catch it.”
Jiang Hao understood. It seemed that there were four people in the vortex.
He nodded and didn’t say anything more.
He could only take one step at a time.
Going back was almost impossible, so he had to go forward.
As long as he avoided the corpses, there should be no major problems.
If he completed his tasks and left the West, no one would come after him.
Moreover, the havoc the corpses create in the West might not affect the South.
“What are your plans for the future, Disciple Gu?” Jing Dajiang asked.
“I plan to visit the Mountain River Valley,” Jiang Hao said truthfully.
Jing Dajiang was delighted. “It seems we all have something in common with the academy. The three of us are also planning to make a trip there. Let’s go together.”
Jiang Hao felt that this person always tried to repeatedly mention the academy.
He was supposed to be from the academy, so he didn’t object.
After that, he left with Hong Yuye.
Jing Dajiang and the others followed.
The people around them were surprised.
The news of Senior Gu killing Granny Kufa had spread like wildfire. Those who
had refused to believe it now accepted it as a fact.
Some major sects felt much better knowing someone from the Astronomical Academy had killed Granny Kufa. Otherwise, they would have lost all respect if she had been killed by some ordinary cultivator.
Everyone was pleased.
Three days later, around late July, outside the Mountain River Valley Sect, the Astronomical Scroll revolved around a black sphere. It emitted a faint aura.
It had been several months.
Many people felt that the person inside was going to die because the death aura kept leaking out.
The corruption and darkness corrupted almost everything.
Even with the Astronomical Scroll, it was useless.
People occasionally attacked it. They had no intention of leaving.
“It’s been so long, and so many people are still attacking the sphere. It seems that Dole has offended many people,” Senior Sister Lin said.
The others didn’t feel anything. Dole was just an ordinary disciple. If he died, no one would care much. That was the outcome of getting involved with the Astronomical Academy. If one didn’t have such great strength, it was better to stay away from people who did. Otherwise, the consequences would be dire. Jiang Hao flew on his sword and finally landed on a distant hillside. He looked for the fallen aura. “The demonic aura is so intense.”
Zhang was already on the brink. She might actually succumb to it.
Was there a way to help her?
“I remember there was someone trying to probe the inside of that dark sphere, but they were trapped,” said Jing Dajiang. Then, he took Jiang Hao to the nearby woods.
A man stood frozen there.
It was Guan Zhongfei.
Jiang Hao felt quite sentimental meeting him here again..
