Chapter 418: Golden Core Demon

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Jiang Hao received a mission from the Task Hall and then turned to leave.

It was the task of recruiting disciples, with a compensation of two thousand five hundred spirit stones. The deadline hadn’t changed. It was still three months away.

Three months.

With his Foundation Establishment Realm, if the other party returned to the

Blackheaven Sect, the round trip would take more than three months.

Jiang Hao didn’t think much about it.

Anyway, he didn’t intend to complete it.

The more people he brought back, the greater the impact on him.

This time, he didn’t plan to delay his journey.

Xiao Li and the others had just settled down. It might not be long before they entered the Bright Moon Sect.

If he didn’t go now, he would miss the opportunity.

Back at the Spirit Herb Garden, Jiang Hao informed Cheng Chou about his departure.

The Outer Sect’s Spirit Herb Garden was now on track. As long as there were no unexpected incidents within the sect, there wouldn’t be any major issues there.

Those who used to harass and cause trouble in the Spirit Herb Garden had become much more self-aware because of unexpected deaths and injuries. However, it was uncertain how long the peace would last.

But by the time Jiang Hao ascended to the Golden Core Realm, none of these people would dare offend him.

As for the dangers in the sect at the moment, only the Sea Fog Cave was the most prominent one.

Jiang Hao felt that there was something unusual about it.

However, three months had passed, and it seemed like there was no progress.

Going out now would also provide a chance to avoid whatever was there.

If there was danger, he wouldn’t need to get involved.

Cultivating the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment seemed to be even more perilous.

“How long will you be gone this time, Senior Brother Jiang?” Cheng Chou asked.

He felt uneasy without Jiang Hao around.

Han Ming, Miao Tinglian, and Mu Qi were all absent. If he wanted help, there was no one to turn to.

The most harrowing thing was the fact that even the spirit beast wasn’t around.

With Lord Beast present, he felt much more at ease.

After instructing Cheng Chou, Jiang Hao went to where Lin Zhi was.

Since he might be away for three months, he needed to give Lin Zhi some guidance.

Lin Zhi wasn’t the same little kid he used to be. He was now an eighteen-year-old youth.

He was cutting bamboo in the bamboo forest.

Despite being in the sect for several years, he was still at the first stage of the Lifeblood Refinement Realm.

“Senior Brother Jiang.” Lin Zhi stopped his work when he saw Jiang Hao.

“How’s your progress?” Jiang Hao asked.

“About the same as before,” Lin Zhi said.

“I heard that both of your friends have already reached the Foundation Establishment Realm?”

Reaching Foundation Establishment Realm at eighteen years old was a formidable achievement. Their talent was comparable to Han Ming’s.

Unfortunately, they weren’t a match for Han Ming yet.

They could only compare in terms of the speed of their cultivation, but they wouldn’t be able to catch up in the later stages.

Of course, it didn’t rule out the fact that they had enough opportunities and put in enough effort.

It was just extremely difficult to catch up to Han Ming.

In the past, Han Ming participated in the war with Azure Mountain and the Heavenly Saint Sect.

Whenever there was a battle, he was ready to march.

Moreover, he managed to survive every time with considerable achievements. Luck, strength, talent, determination, and execution. Han Ming had them all.

“I also heard that Lin… Senior Brother Lin reached the Foundation

Establishment Realm first. Senior Sister Zhao should be close too,” Lin Zhi said.

“Are you in a hurry to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm?” Jiang Hao asked.

Lin Zhi lowered his head and then smiled bitterly. “I’m hopeful, but not in a hurry.”

Jiang Hao nodded. “Practice diligently, read more books, and observe others more. Read the book of sages.”

Apart from the hardships he faced, Lin Zhi would have to face two more difficulties.

If his progress was slow, it would lead him to despair. However, if he progressed rapidly, he would think himself invincible and lose himself.

He had overcome the former, but the latter still needed time to come to fruition.

After giving some more guidance on cultivation, Jiang Hao left.

Later that night, he glanced at his interface.

[Name: Jiang Hao]

[Age: 30]

[Cultivation: Early Stage of the Soul Ascension Realm]

[Cultivation Method: Heavenly Sound Hundred Revolutions, Hong Meng Heart Sutra]

[Divine Ability: Nine Revolutions Death Substitution (unique), Daily Appraisal,

Clear and Pure Heart, Reappearance of Hidden Spirit, Divine Might, Revival of

Withered Tree, Heavenly Cauldron] [Lifeblood: 100/100 (Can be cultivated)] [Cultivation: 100/100 (Can be cultivated)] [Divine Abilities: 0/3 (Cannot be acquired)]

‘Thirty years old…’

Jiang Hao felt quite emotional when he looked at his age.

Lin Zhi was eighteen. Xiao Li was nineteen. But somehow, he had already turned thirty.

The time had passed so fast. He still felt like he was only nineteen.

That was the first time he had seen Hong Yuye.

Except for that single trip, he hadn’t gone out since then.

He had wanted to find his stepmother and his family, but now it seemed he might not have the chance.

He still didn’t know where they had gone. He had searched through all the nearby cities, but there was no news of them.

If he had younger siblings, maybe he could hear about them in the future.

If not, his past remained frozen at the time he used to be a five-year-old child.

Sometimes he wondered how things would have turned out if he hadn’t been sold.

Perhaps he would have died in famine, or maybe he would have survived and then been sent to work by his stepmother once he reached a certain age.

When he got a bit older, he might have chosen to leave them and start a family.

He could have found a wife and lived a peaceful life. If his luck was rotten, he would have suffered throughout his life.

Maybe his ten-year-old self would have rebelled and run away to the Heavenly Note Sect anyway.

Unfortunately, he could only speculate.

Jiang Hao looked at his cultivation and lifeblood and didn’t pay attention to his wandering thoughts.

Nearly two years had passed, and they were finally full again.

Without hesitation, he began to advance.

Late at night the next day, Jiang Hao used the Heaven Secrets Hidden talisman and disappeared.

In Tiansheng Prefecture in the east, the night sky was filled with stars, and disciples occasionally soared through it.

Not far from the Bright Moon Sect, there was a city.

The city was brightly lit and was adorned with flowers.

Most of the people passing through had an extraordinary aura as if there were no ordinary people among them.

This was a city mostly inhabited by cultivators.

It was called Star-Moon City.

The inns and lodgings in the city were almost fully occupied.

The inn named “Eternal Traveler” was also fully booked.

At this moment, most of the people in the inn were cultivating, while the occupants of one room were sound asleep.

Inside the room, the furnishings were simple.

A young girl smacked her lips in her sleep as if she saw something delicious in her dreams.

A spirit beast was sprawled out on the table, asleep.

A puddle of drool formed beneath its mouth.

A faint light appeared on the ground.

A figure surrounded by purple energy silently materialized in the room.

The person looked at the beast and realized that it had already reached the Golden Core Realm. Then, he glanced at the girl on the bed.

She had reached the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Indeed, neither of these two stayed the same for long.

Shaking his head silently, he extended his hand and two golden rings appeared from the ground and fell into the hands of the girl and the beast.

He no longer needed them.

Jiang Hao turned to leave. However, just as he took a step, he felt a sudden burning pain in his chest.

He opened his shirt to look at his chest. The One Heart Palm that was imprinted on his chest flashed briefly and disappeared.

When it disappeared, a figure in red appeared beside him. It was a familiar shadow with a familiar fragrance.

‘Hong Yuye?’

Just as he was about to turn around, the beast suddenly shot into the air and dropped back down to the ground. The beast, which had been perfectly fine before, now had a swollen face.

Looking at the beast with a bruised and swollen face, Jiang Hao sensed that it was a warning..
