“They’re real, and this is the last question.”
Old Man Corpse Sea looked at Jiang Hao and smiled. “You must think carefully. Just ten simple questions may not provide you with enough understanding of the Corpse Realm. Of course, asking questions I don’t know is the same as asking in vain.”
Jiang Hao wasn’t worried. Instead, he asked the questions raised by Shujin because the other party had helped warn him of the rain. The reminder was worth a question.
“What relationship does the Corpse Realm have with the outside world?”
“That question is not easy to answer…” Old Man Corpse Sea thought for a moment and said, “According to my speculation, there should be some connection, but to date, no related information has been found. Even the language of the Heavenly Spirit Tribe is somewhat different. Perhaps there’s a relation, but it exists in different eras. It’s hard to say which is more ancient. If you want an answer, you could try collecting ancient pages. Maybe you’ll find some answers there.”
Jiang Hao felt that it was a pity. “Can I ask one more question?” “I may not answer,” Old Man Corpse Sea said.
“Who is the core of The End of All Things?” Jiang Hao asked.
The person seemed to have entered a certain sea area and disappeared. The others were still waiting for his return.
Old Man Corpse Sea shook his head and remained silent.
The seawater dissipated.
Jiang Hao and Hong Yuye returned to the deck once again.
He immediately informed Shujin of the answer.
The latter was extremely grateful and even took out a jade pendant. He hoped that if Jiang Hao ever visited the western region, he could drop by the Astronomical Academy.
Jiang Hao accepted it, but he probably wouldn’t go. It was too far away. He simply couldn’t reach there.
When he went east before, it was because Xiao Li and the others had been there, and he had borrowed the golden rings.
There was no one to help him make a trip this time.
Actually, there was a way, but whether to use it needed some thought.
He had asked all the questions, and it seemed there was no need to linger here.
This was not a good place. Jiang Hao wanted to leave as soon as possible.
The others also didn’t want to stay here any longer.
“It seems like you want to leave. Indeed, the Corpse Sea is not a place where you can stay as you wish,” said Old Man Corpse Sea and looked at everyone. “Oh, one more piece of advice… don’t enter the depths of the Corpse Sea.”
At that moment, the coastline gradually appeared in sight.
The sky turned gloomy once again.
“In that case, I won’t keep you,” Old Man Corpse Sea said.
Jiang Hao bowed and finally left on his sword.
The Great Thousand God Sect and The End of All Things were the ones he needed to be wary of. It was important to understand their motives. However, that didn’t mean intercepting each one of them. Not everyone’s interests conflicted with his.
It was wise to avoid conflicts, especially in this dangerous place.
Finally, they left.
Before long, Jiang Hao arrived at the edge of a cliff and stepped inside.
Everything went smoothly.
However, when he left, he felt a strange sensation as if he had entered an isolated area.
Jiang Hao stood in a cave and breathed a sigh of relief.
However, the Corpse Sea still existed. It seemed he could enter any time.
But Jiang Hao didn’t plan to go in again. This place made him feel an inexplicable sense of danger.
“Is there still tea?” Hong Yuye asked.
“I’ll go and buy it for you immediately,” Jiang Hao said promptly.
Even ordinary tea was finished, so he had to look around.
After leaving the mine, Jiang Hao looked for people in Thousand Feet Mountain.
There were many powerful individuals here so he might find some tea.
After a while, he found a woman in blue robes.
She frowned at him slightly.
The middle stage of the Golden Core Realm and late stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm… How could these people block her path?
Jiang Hao noticed her impatience.
Then, a spiritual flame ignited in his eyes.
The oppressive aura of the Return to Void Realm enveloped the other person.
In an instant, the blue-robed woman’s spiritual sense surged, subconsciously bowing her head.
These two people were not in the Golden Core Realm. They were even stronger.
“Do you mind if I buy some tea from you?” asked Jiang Hao.
“Uh, no, I don’t mind.” The person nodded.
In the end, Jiang Hao spent fifteen thousand spirit stones.
He bought a pack of Red Azure tea and another pack of Ancient Spirit tea.
With over three hundred and ninety thousand spirit stones remaining, it seemed they couldn’t be spent entirely.
After that, Hong Yuye arrived at a riverside. Instead of walking forward, she asked Jiang Hao to build a pavilion there. She wanted to drink tea here.
Jiang Hao immediately began to cut some wood.
He had already finished building a pavilion in less than half a day.
Only then did Hong Yuye sit inside and let Jiang Hao brew some tea.
She sat there for three days.
Jiang Hao noticed that the tea was finished.
Only Azure Red tea remained now.
He looked for others to buy more tea.
Luckily, he found some people who were selling them.
He spent another twenty thousand and bought all the tea from others.
It should be enough for a month or two.
He had three hundred and sixty thousand spirit stones.
Suddenly, it had reduced by over thirty thousand. It was really terrifying.
Who would have thought drinking tea could be this expensive?
Under the pavilion, Jiang Hao was curious about what Hong Yuye was doing.
He asked but didn’t get an answer.
Jiang Hao sat down to read a book.
Before, he couldn’t understand the fifth form of the Heavenly Blade, but now, he could thoroughly study and attempt to use it.
Even the Mountain Sea Seal was easy to study.
When his cultivation was weak, he couldnt use its power, but it was different now.
However, he had to take it one step at a time.
He began by studying the fifth form of the Heavenly Blade.
Jiang Hao started reading in an attempt to understand the content before using the sword technique.
He activated the Clear and Pure Heart ability.
Half a day later, Jiang Hao finally understood the fifth form of the Heavenly Blade.
The form was called “Inquiry”.
One’s state of mind and spiritual consciousness could be used to cut the opponent’s state of mind without drawing blood.
This form suited those with exceptional states of mind. For those with an ordinary state of mind, this form wouldn’t work.
But “Inquiry” could consolidate one’s state of mind, heart, and spiritual consciousness.
It used the blade to nurture the mind, and the mind to forge the blade.
“This is just the fifth form, and it’s already so powerful. I wonder what the final two forms would be.”
Just mastering this one seemed like it would take a long time.
He also brewed more tea. Jiang Hao drank a cup of tea while reading the book.
In the middle of it all, he went out for a while and bought some pastries.
He then continued reading while drinking tea until early November.
On that day, he felt a change and slowly closed his eyes.
He felt like he was about to understand this form, and the Heaven Lock Technique operated within his body.
It provided a clearer understanding of his consciousness.
The Divine Might also followed suit.
It seemed like everything was aiding his understanding of this form.
Without these foundations, it might have taken Jiang Hao a very long time to master the form, but it didn’t seem so difficult now. In an instant, Jiang Hao felt the world quieting down.
Everything around him stopped.
He sat alone in the pavilion and looked at the mountains, rivers, and streams.
The strange feeling worried him. He couldn’t sense the outside world.
It seemed like he was trapped in it.
At that moment, a blade appeared in his hand out of nowhere.
He stared at the blade for a long time and got lost in his thoughts.
He returned to his senses after a long time.
“Inquiry.”
He looked at the mountain, rivers, and streams ahead. He understood the significance of this form.
“Heavenly Blade Inquiry. It slashes others and slashes oneself.”
At that moment, he lifted the blade in his hand without hesitation.
In that instant, his state of mind and spiritual consciousness were like a blade.
The blade light swept through everything.
Boom
Jiang Hao opened his eyes under the rain pavilion.
He looked at the woman drinking tea opposite him and felt calm again. He had mastered the fifth form of the Heavenly Blade.
At that moment, he was stronger than before and understood the Heavenly Blade better.
He felt impulsive to test it out.
“Pour the tea,” Hong Yuye said.
Hearing this, Jiang Hao immediately began pouring the tea.
At Moon Lake, the Fallen Immortal Clan had arrived.
They had been chasing after Jiang Xiao Li all along.
At first, they thought they would find her in the Blood Tide Forest. After going there, they discovered the other party had come to Moon Lake.
After that, they found out that she had left for the Thousand Feet Mountain.
“How could a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator be so fast?” the young man asked.
“Let’s not worry about it for now. We have to catch her first,” the middle-aged man said.
With them was a woman in a black robe. She was frowning.
After hesitating for a moment, she followed them.
With their speed, it wouldn’t take long for them to catch up with Jiang Xiao Li..
