Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

Chapter 1345: You Have to Hide Well

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Crash!

The water in the river flowed as always. The snow did not bring any changes to the river.

The wooden house by its side was covered under a thick layer of snow.

Bam!

Suddenly, a loud noise erupted from the courtyard.

In the courtyard, Jiang Hao stood up painfully.

He had just felt an immense force and was sent flying for a moment.

Though it did not cause any new injury, it was quite painful.

Hong Yuye had made a move after calling him bold.

It was too sudden, and Jiang Hao was not mentally prepared.

“You’ve become bolder, but your body is still as weak as ever,” she said.

Jiang Hao lowered his head.

It was true. Lately, he had been getting injured frequently.

If it was not because of the three pearls, he was either severely injured by someone or hurt while comprehending the blade technique.

After getting up, Jiang Hao returned to his seat at the table.

He looked at the snow around him and then at the spirit beast hanging on the gate.

At that moment, a profound aura surged from the spirit beast’s body.

It must have obtained a great opportunity.

Jiang Hao sipped his tea. “When will the snow stop?”

“It won’t be long. This year it will stop. When you go out then, you will find tremendous changes everywhere. Next year will be a year of great harvest.” Hong Yuye looked at the sky and said, “But many unexpected events will occur because the seals will disappear. While it will be a time of plenty, it will also bring various disasters. Whether the harvest can be preserved is uncertain.”

Jiang Hao lowered his head in thought.

Everyone was striving to become immortals, and demonic and evil paths would emerge continuously. Ferocious beings would appear one after another. Before they could reap the fruits of the harvest, they might become food for others.

Opportunities were many, but so were the dangers.

“Are you going out?” Hong Yuye asked softly. “Go out, fight to gain strength, and consolidate your invincible heart to become the strongest of the era.”

“It’s too dangerous,” Jiang Hao said.

“For countless years, the strong have emerged through trials. Even in the mortal world, wealth is sought in dangerous situations.” Hong Yuye looked at Jiang Hao. “You, at seventy-six years old and in the late stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm, have decent talent and are qualified to compete to be the strongest of your generation.”

Jiang Hao looked at the teacup in his hand and sighed. “Desire arises from the heart, and greed grows by the side of courage. Wealth is sought in danger but also lost in danger. Perhaps one in ten will seek it, but nine in ten will lose it. It’s not worth the loss.”

“You’re not tempted?” Hong Yuye asked curiously.

“I just want to live.” Jiang Hao shook his head.

He wanted to survive and live.

Others might leave their names for eternity, but he wanted to walk through eternity himself.

Looking back, he might not see anyone. All the names would have vanished.

“You better hide well then.” Hong Yuye chuckled. “The Heavenly Note Sect will no longer be safe once the snow stops.”

“Is it that dangerous?” Jiang Hao looked surprised.

If Hong Yuye said so, it was bound to be dangerous.

For a moment, Jiang Hao hoped that the Sect Master was in a good condition so that she could defend the Heavenly Note Sect.

Elder Baizhi might struggle to hold her own if she was alone.

After he recovered, he saw the light beams of those making it to the Immortal Ascension Platform.

Some of the people from the other branches would be trying to become immortals. It was likely that the Heavenly Note Sect might have at least twelve immortals after this.

But other sects would have more.

If they were besieged, it would be hard to resist.

At that time, the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower would also draw attention, and he himself would be in great danger.

“Many people are keeping an eye on the Heavenly Note Sect. Moreover, the Heavenly Note Sect itself has many hidden dangers. Isn’t your mission also related to the Heavenly Note Sect?” Hong Yuye chuckled.

Jiang Hao understood that she was referring to the River of Deathly Silence and the Eastern Heavenly Pole.

It seemed that this place was indeed very dangerous.

He had to think of a way. He was at the late stage of the True Immortal Realm and could help reduce some of the pressure.

However, it was too dangerous to go out. Many people were targeting him, especially the Fallen Immortal Clan.

They had likely restored themselves to the immortal realms.

The Heavenly Spirit Tribe, Heavenly Saint Sect, and the Great Thousand God Sect were all formidable.

He still had many secret techniques in his courtyard.

Outside, he would lack much of that protection.

It would not be as safe.

After talking for a while, Hong Yuye smiled faintly. “If you can’t guard my flower, be prepared.”

Then, she disappeared.

Jiang Hao was not in a hurry to leave his courtyard. Instead, he tidied up his injured body and sorted through other matters.

With the Great Era here, he would try his best to become stronger.

At the very least, he had to recover to his peak.

The Nine Heavens Battle Armor also needed to be repaired.

He had to make a trip to the Lawless Tower when he had the time.

The Dew of the First Sun was extremely effective. Jiang Hao felt a warm current flowing through his body, which revitalized him.

Half a month later, around early July, Jiang Hao felt that he had almost recovered.

The blade intent in his body did not disappear. Every strike he made was now empowered by it.

Facing someone like the Five Demons again should be easier this time.

He had gained quite a lot from the Great Era.

Unfortunately, he knew nothing about the Great Overarching Heaven.

During this half-month, he frequently checked the stone tablet, but no one was there.

It meant everyone was absorbing the opportunities of the Great Era.

‘These people might have become so much stronger.’ Jiang Hao thought.

Unconsciously, he seemed to have become stronger than them. But he could not let his guard down. Perhaps they might catch up to him soon enough.

After making sure that the three pearls were fine, Jiang Hao put away his things and walked out of the courtyard.

The spirit beast was still hanging at the gate.

Because of the Dao energy, it was also receiving opportunities.

Stepping out, he noticed the snow outside was heavy but not as much as inside the courtyard.

He wondered if it was possibly due to the Heavenly Fragrance Dao flower.

Half a year had passed, but he had not gone to the outer sect to complete the mission. He did not know if there would be a problem.

Everything had happened so suddenly that he could not even explain it to his Master.

Arriving at the Cliff Master’s residence, Jiang Hao found that he was still trying to become an immortal.

He could not ask.

After that, he went looking for Senior Brother Bai Yi, but he was also in seclusion.

Hence, he could only go to the Law Enforcement Hall.

There were very few people there.

Only a handful were maintaining normal operations, especially the array formations.

Wherever Jiang Hao went, he could see the light of the formation in the sky. He did not know how profound this formation was.

After all, he could not even understand those at a higher realm, like a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator facing a Primordial Spirit Realm cultivator.

The others could kill him with a breath.

After asking around, Jiang Hao learned that he could go to the outer sect on his own.

It was fine even if he did not want to go.

After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Hao decided to head toward the outer gate.

He needed to continue updating the undercover list and deal with them during the chaos so that they did not cause more problems.

If Liu Xingchen were here, he would definitely be suspicious.

‘I wonder how he is…’ Jiang Hao sighed.

He feared the worst after not being able to see him for so long.

As he walked toward the outer gate, he suddenly saw a figure appear in front of him.

The other party smiled at him.

The person had a scar between his brows, and his aura was unstable.

Four auras were swirling around them.

“Junior Brother, it’s been too long,” said Liu Xingchen as he walked toward him with a smile.

Jiang Hao was surprised. He had not expected to meet Liu Xingchen here.

The other party had an extremely unstable aura, but he also gave off a vast and profound feeling.

It seemed that many things had happened.
