Chapter 1344: Demoness: You’re Really Brave
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In the heavy snow, Jiang Hao felt cold, but this coldness was different from just a drop in temperature.
It was a chill from deep within his body which indicated injuries.
His eyes, body, and primordial spirit were all affected.
Jiang Hao, just regaining his senses, was unsure of the extent of his injuries.
The three words had struck him hard.
His sight, body, and primordial spirit all bore immense pain.
His immortal body’s self-healing ability was ineffective, so he could only rely on the Revival of the Withered Tree ability to slowly recover.
This ability could not heal him quickly but could heal him over time. Fortunately, Jiang Hao was not in a hurry.
.com“Looks like you’re seriously injured.” Just as Jiang Hao was feeling extremely cold, a voice sounded beside him.
It was Hong Yuye.
“I’ve made a fool of myself in front of you, Senior,” said Jiang Hao as he composed himself.
He was lying in the snow and could not sense his surroundings properly.
This was caused by the injury to his primordial spirit.
“Did you see it?” Hong Yuye asked.
Jiang Hao could not see her expression but felt the snow around him disappearing.
The coldness was also fading as if a fire was warming him and making him feel much better.
“I did.” Jiang Hao nodded.
“You’re quite brave. At least braver than your spirit beast.” Hong Yuye’s voice drifted away as she returned to sit back under the peach tree. “You dared to comprehend the seventh form of the Heavenly Blade in the late stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm.”
“I didn’t know that the seventh form was so difficult.” Jiang Hao sighed.
He really did not know that the seventh form of the Heavenly Blade would be so incredible.
Just seeing the name had severely injured him.
He could not resist or escape it.
The “Great Overarching Heaven” was beyond his comprehension, but mastering it would surely surpass the sixth form, Galaxy.
He wasn’t sure if it was an illusion, but despite not seeing beyond the three words, it felt as though a blade intent was swirling within him and enhancing his every move.
The power of the first few forms of the Heavenly Blade might be even more potent after this.
He was not certain if it was just an illusion because he was severely injured.
“What did you see?” Hong Yuye asked.
Jiang Hao now felt the coldness had entirely vanished, but his injuries had not healed much and still required the Revival of the Withered Tree ability.
“I saw three words,” Jiang Hao said truthfully.
“Which three words?” Hong Yuye asked.
Jiang Hao was a little curious to know why she would ask him about that.
“Great Overarching Heaven.”
“Great Overarching Heaven…” Hong Yuye muttered.
She did not say anything else.
Jiang Hao did not know what she might be thinking.
He just lay there quietly.
Fortunately, nothing happened, especially to the three pearls.
Although there were some fluctuations, there were not many changes.
Besides, with Hong Yuye around, she would definitely make a move if something was to happen.
Few wished for trouble with the three dangerous pearls, except those from The End of All Things.
Jiang Hao focused on healing.
Moments later, Hong Yuye said, “Feel where you are injured closely.”
Jiang Hao was surprised, but he still did as he was told.
He began to focus on his injuries.
He discovered traces of blade intent within his injuries.
As he healed, these traces gradually merged into his primordial spirit, blended with his initial blade intent, and swirled within him.
This blade’s intent carried a terrifying power that was very difficult to control.
After seven days, Jiang Hao did not sense any blade intent within his wounds.
Only then could he move and sense his surroundings a bit.
He was still unable to fully open his eyes or sense his surroundings properly.
His injuries were too severe, and he had yet to recover.
Another seven days passed, and Jiang Hao felt like he could move his body without wincing.
“Can you move now?” Hong Yuye asked.
She seemed to have been there all along.
By the time he got up, Jiang Hao put away his Yin-Yang Bracelet.
It was impossible to know whether someone had come and left, especially an expert like Hong Yuye.
“Greetings, Senior.” He forced himself to get up, and he bowed.
“You’re really polite.” Hong Yuye chuckled.
It did not sound like a compliment.
“I should be,” Jiang Hao said.
Then, he staggered his way to the table and slowly sat down.
A crisp voice sounded in front of him.
It was the sound of a teacup being placed on the table, followed by the sound of pouring tea.
The fragrance of the tea filled the air.
It was somewhat familiar.
It was the Dew of the First Sun.
This was the second time he tasted this tea. Jiang Hao felt that just smelling its aroma could heal a lot of his injuries.
“What realm is required to learn the Great Overarching Heaven?” Jiang Hao asked.
He had intended to improve his strength by comprehending the seventh form, but he had not expected to be injured to this extent.
“Certainly not someone at the late stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm. If it wasn’t for the opportunities of the Great Era and the divine treasures in your courtyard, you wouldn’t even have been able to glimpse its name,” said Hong Yuye.
Logically, it should not have been possible even with so many things helping him.
“Is it very powerful?” Jiang Hao asked.
“It’s hard to say,” Hong Yuye said calmly.
Jiang Hao was puzzled.
“The seventh form of the Heavenly Blade is different from the previous forms. The seventh form is not fixed. Whatever you comprehend is what it is,” Hong Yuye said.
“Has anyone comprehended the Great Overarching Heaven?” Jiang Hao asked.
Hong Yuye did not respond.
Jiang Hao did not dare to ask again.
He could only wait for his cultivation realm to increase before learning this form.
At that time, he would know the details.
He was also curious about what Hong Yuye had comprehended but hesitated to ask.
After a long pause, he did but got no response.
As they talked, Jiang Hao realized that it was already May.
Four months had passed.
The heavy snow continued to fall, and the opportunities of the Great Era had not ended yet.
“When the snow stops, many will travel,” Hong Yuye said slowly.
“Senior, did you obtain an opportunity?” Jiang Hao asked.
“What?” Hong Yuye was silent for a long time. “Can I obtain opportunities here with you?”
Jiang Hao got his answer. She had not.
Neither of them mentioned the matter again.
Jiang Hao just drank his tea.
As the sun and moon alternated, Jiang Hao felt the time passing by.
A month later, around mid-June, Jiang Hao’s eyes had recovered a bit.
When he opened his eyes, he saw light and a blurry figure.
After some time, he finally saw things clearly.
The red and white figure was dignified and elegant as ever. Her waist-length hair swayed in the wind, and her beautiful face looked indifferent.
At that moment, she was looking down at the teacup in her hand. She seemed to have sensed something. She looked over at him.
Her gaze was piercing, as though she could see into his soul.
“Can you see now?” she asked.
“Yes, Senior.” Jiang Hao snapped back to his senses. He lowered his head and said respectfully, “Thank you for your concern, Senior.”
“Don’t thank me yet.” Hong Yuye looked at the sky. “The snow is going to stop. It will be chaotic then. You’d better look after my flower. Otherwise, you know what the consequences will be.”
“If I’m not strong enough to protect it, what should I do?” Jiang Hao asked softly.
Hong Yuye sneered at his words. “You’ve indeed become bolder. Do you think that it’s that impressive to be at the late stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm at the age of seventy-six?”
