Chapter 962: Dare to Be the First in the World....
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
On the second floor of the wooden house, Jiang Hao was sitting at his desk and making talismans.
Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He seemed a little tired.
He only heaved a sigh of relief when the talisman flickered with a faint light.
Then, he put down the brush.
He picked up a Return to Void Realm Clone Talisman.
In the past few months, he had been making Clone Talismans whenever he was free.
He was creating a clone of power at the Return to Void Realm or above, so the success rate was not very high. In the beginning, he only made two out of ten.
After spending 60,000 spirit stones to buy the materials, he had finally improved.
He had more than 400 Clone Talismans with him.
Including the previous ones, there were a total of 568.
He was left with 150,000 spirit stones.
Two months ago, Hong Yuye came by.
To be on the safe side, he asked her about the Shangguan Clan.
Hong Yuye gave a strange answer. She said that if the entire clan were together, the curse would be unprecedentedly strong. Perhaps the power on the other side could interfere with the array.
He had to have enough suppressive power, or else it would be easy for problems to occur.
Jiang Hao fell silent. He didn’t have enough power, so he could only use the Clone Talisman.
He hoped that he would not need to use it.
If he needed it, he didn’t know if it would be of much use.
He naturally knew his own strength.
However, the suppressive power of it was still effective. He imbued the talismans with purple energy.
When he used it, he would be able to channel the Primordial Spirit energy properly.
“I hope nothing goes wrong.”
If he failed, he wouldn’t be able to stop Gu Changsheng, and Gui would fail too.
Jing had to protect the image he had created.
Although the others wouldn’t say anything if he failed, Gu Changsheng wouldn’t be so forgiving.
And the mysterious personality of Jing would disappear too.
There would definitely be some trouble in the future.
It was tiring to maintain the image he had created.
However, this was a necessary thing to do.
Jiang Hao walked to his balcony and looked into the distance. He took a deep breath.
“There are still three days left. I have to maintain my peak condition.”
He was very tired.
He had been waiting since the end of the gathering.
He didn’t care much about other things. The Shangguan Clan’s matter was his priority.
He continued with his explanation of cultivation in the garden.
The Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators of the other branches had all come in order to listen to his explanation.
Everyone knew the rules.
If they gained anything from him, they would leave behind a portion of blood.
It was all voluntary. No one forced anyone.
No one even cared if they left the scene after obtaining the benefits.
There were many people like that.
However, they were unable to enter the Cliff of Broken Hearts after that.
They were banished by Senior Brother Mu Qi.
How dare people from other branches come here and be impudent?
Jiang Hao didn’t care.
He had his own goal, but it was not bad to have his seniors help him.
At the very least, it was for spreading his notorious Blood Wish Path reputation.
If they weren’t willing to pay, they weren’t qualified to listen to his lectures.
This kind of thing happened in the sect. Some people thought that he was about to die, and some people thought that he wanted to refine his Golden Core Realm to its peak so that he could compete for the position of top disciple.
More and more people were discussing him behind his back, while others looked down on him.
The Blood Wish Path was not very popular.
But Jiang Hao was happy with the assumption.
He sighed as he looked at the peach tree in the courtyard. In fact, he had long since stopped thinking about the last incarnation.
So far, he did not have the resources to make it undergo the last incarnation.
One million spirit stones were one thing, but there were two other conditions it needed to meet.
He had no choice but to wait.
After waiting for three days, Jiang Hao’s condition reached its peak.
He looked at the peach tree again, but there was still nothing there.
It seemed that he had to rely on himself this time.
After using the Heavenly Secrets Hidden Talisman, Jiang Hao transformed into Smiling San Sheng and disappeared.
Smiling San Sheng was never afraid of strong enemies.
If others were strong, he would only be stronger. He was fearless.
There was no other way to be.
Under the mines of the Heavenly Note Sect, Bi Zhu was getting nervous. Tonight was the day of the decisive battle.
“Senior, are you ready?” she asked.
“Of course, you guys have to be careful. I’m going to see if I can get Gu Changsheng to talk. The Heavenly Note Sect has been informed, right?” Kendo asked.
“Yes, I did inform them.” Bi Zhu nodded.
“Alright, I’ll try it now,” Kendo said.
Then, he closed his eyes and began to pry into the existence behind the giant tree.
It was like walking in the void. He transmitted his divine sense with his sword’s intent.
“Let me give you a piece of advice. It’s not too late to reach an agreement.”
It was like a stone sinking into the ocean.
“Didn’t you get into trouble before? Perhaps you will think that it is a small problem, but you will soon find that it will completely crush you.”
“Tonight is the day your power spreads. Aren’t you worried? You must know that the trouble last time was just an appetizer.”
Kendo waited.
This time, he didn’t throw a stone into the ocean of void.
“You’re very strong, but not strong enough. No matter how much you do, you’ll just be a clown.”
The other party finally responded.
“Senior, I like what you said very much because you will soon face my sword.”
“How do you compare to the Sword God from back then?”
“I’m a bit inferior to him.”
“Back then, the Sword God and I had a fifty-fifty chance of winning against each other. How can you compete with me?”
“I admit I’m not very confident. But my sword isn’t afraid of strong enemies.”
“Too much is as bad as not being strong enough. If something is too hard, it’ll break easily.”
“Senior, you must be joking. There are only small paths in the Dao. I want to cut down the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. There is no restriction on the Dao of Heaven and Earth. I dare to be the first in the world and the first in the Dao of the Sword to have done it.”
The other party was silent for a long time. Then, he said, “You’re more arrogant than the Sword God, but you still haven’t given me anything that’ll make me negotiate with you. Everything is still under my control.”
Kendo smiled and retreated.
He began to wait and readied the sword in his hand.
He couldn’t wait any longer.
At the Hundred Flowers Lake, the red-and-white figure stood by the lake and looked into the distance.
No one knew what was on her mind.
“Sect Master.” Baizhi appeared by the lake and bowed her head respectfully.
“Is something going to happen to the mine?” Hong Yuye asked.
“Yes, there might be some changes tonight. We’ve already started to deal with it with all our strength. Although the other party said that there won’t be any problems, we still need to be careful,” Baizhi said.
Everyone knew that he was the first person to compete in the way of the sword.
If the battle between the two sides began, it would be fatal for the Heavenly Note Sect.
However, they weren’t displeased.
They were more than happy to have such an expert take action to resolve the hidden danger.
After all, the tree was in the Heavenly Note Sect, and it would definitely bring great trouble to the Heavenly Note Sect in the future.
“Has the selection for the top disciples already begun?” Hong Yuye didn’t ask much about Kendo.
“Yes, it has already begun. Many people will be participating.” Baizhi thought for a moment. “Jiang Hao is also participating. He seems to be interested in competing for the position of the top disciple. With his strength, there should be no problem at all. Right now, he is constantly explaining cultivation issues to Foundation Establishment and Lifeblood Refinement Realm cultivators. Everyone thinks he practices the Blood Wish Path. Presumably, he uses it to become stronger or to pave the way for a breakthrough. There is a high chance that it has something to do with the person behind him. Jiang Hao becoming a top disciple might be beneficial to the person behind him. Perhaps it would be better to find out who is behind him to find out what they plan.”
“Is that so?” Hong Yuye said calmly. “Then, let’s see what happens next.”
