Jiang Hao froze when she said that.
He had no chance of winning while facing the Sea Sky Forest.
It was a weapon used by the End of All Things against the West.
Dealing with the West was difficult even at the Immortal Ascension Platform.
The West wasn’t like the South. Here, there were many major immortal sects.
Even if the Astronomical Academy was weaker now due to the incident with the Earth Extreme Heavenly Pearl, it was still incomparable to the South.
The faith of the End of All Things in destroying the world was on the corpse.
No matter how strong Jiang Hao was, he couldn’t possibly face the corpse. He didn’t know if he could even escape.
“Senior, I’m just a small Golden Core Realm cultivator. I won’t be any use to you if I face a powerful individual,” said Jiang Hao.
Hong Yuye glanced at him and chuckled. “It seems that you are fated to meet unlucky things. Whether it’s the vortex or something else, you can’t escape it.”
Jiang Hao was stunned. It wasn’t until then that he remembered the corpse was also something of ill luck.
Everything he had encountered was indeed bad luck.
The Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl, the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl, and the cursed tree were all similar. They were a bad omen.
But he didn’t seek them out. The good things had long been taken away, while bad things found him wherever he went.
It did seem he was fated to encounter ill luck everywhere.
Jiang Hao sighed inwardly and looked up at the sky. He didn’t see any vortex. “What are you looking at?” Hong Yuye walked on the small path by the street.
“I want to see what the Aura Vortex looks like,” Jiang Hao said.
No matter how he looked at it, he couldn’t sense anything.
With the Heaven Lock Technique and the nameless manual, he should have been able to sense a lot of things.
But he still couldn’t sense any vortex affecting the West. Gu Jin not only had given him an identity but also his luck.
“I am me, and yet, I am not me.”
Jiang Hao didn’t think too much about it. He needed to first understand the situation of the Sea Sky Forest.
Now that he was recognized as Gu Jin in the West, he couldn’t use any other identity, especially not that of Smiling San Sheng.
If he did, it would only attract trouble.
Everyone would then associate Smiling San Sheng with Gu Jin. It would be troublesome in the future.
After that, he began to look around. He glanced inside as he passed by an alley.
He found a stone tablet deep inside.
This stone tablet radiated a vast aura.
“Senior, do you want to go in and take a look?” Jiang Hao asked.
Hong Yuye spared a glance and then stepped into the alley.
There were some people drinking tea there. No one paid attention to the stone tablet.
Jiang Hao walked to the stone tablet and examined it carefully. He found that there were some words on it: “Sage’s Pages.”
“These are pages left by the ancestors of the Astronomical Academy.” At that moment, a middle-aged man appeared next to Jiang Hao.
He carried a sword, and his outfit was messy. He seemed like a wandering swordsman.
He was an ordinary person.
This man had a strange aura. It was neither spiritual nor immortal. It was just an ordinary. He had the aura of a martial artist.
“Senior, who are you?” Jiang Hao asked politely.
“Just a wandering swordsman…” The middle-aged man smiled.
“Do you know a lot about this stone tablet?” Jiang Hao asked curiously.
He only knew that there were rumors about the Sage’s Pages, but he didn’t know much about it.
“These were left by the Astronomical Academy. It’s said to be the immortal fate written by the ancestors of the academy. The stone tablet is placed here, and those with immortal fate can naturally see more things in it. However, over the years, no one has seen the content of it.”
“Immortal fate from the Astronomical Academy?” Jiang Hao was surprised. He hadn’t expected it to be placed in a place like this.
“Yes. The Astronomical Academy is a place of immortals and a place where immortals go on pilgrimage. It is said that this is the former immortal residence,” the middle-aged man said with a smile.
It seemed that he didn’t believe much in these things.
“Senior, are you a swordsman?” Jiang Hao asked.
The middle-aged man shook his head. “I learned a bit of swordsmanship, but I can’t be considered a swordsman. I’m from here and just wanted to see the so-called immortal fate. But after watching for a few days, I found nothing. Perhaps everything is fake, or maybe I don’t have an immortal fate.” Jiang Hao nodded.
Countless people desired immortal fate, but in the end, only a few could embark on this path.
A sect recruited many disciples. There were talents gathered from various places.
Among these people, the vast majority would remain at the Lifeblood Refinement Realm. After that, they would begin the selection process based on talent, opportunities, and personality.
Among the several recruitments, only one person managed to reach the Return to Void Realm.
It showed how difficult the cultivation path was.
After that, Jiang Hao went to the back of the stone tablet. He tried to sense it but found nothing.
But he knew that stone tablet was definitely not simple.
However, no matter how he looked, there was no clue.
“It’s really something that depends on fate.” Jiang Hao couldn’t help but sigh.
He used his fingers to wipe it spotless.
He sighed even more.
“Each stone tablet here has been wiped clean. It’s to show respect to the ancestors of the academy,” said the middle-aged man.
“Hasn’t any been left untouched?” Jiang Hao asked. “There is one. It’s said to be a traitor to the academy.”
“A traitor?” Jiang Hao was curious.
“Invite me for a drink, and I’ll take you there.” The middle-aged swordsman smiled.
“Of course.” Jiang Hao nodded.
In fact, he wasn’t in a hurry to wipe the stone tablet. He just wanted to explore.
Outside the ancient city, a burly man sighed. “It took so long. I finally arrived here.”
“Mr. Tao, why did you insist on coming to the ancient city?” Zhu Shen was curious.
He radiated a restrained divine light.
Standing in front of him was the sturdy Mr. Tao, who appeared ragged but looked scholarly.
“Mr. Tao, there must be a meaning to this, right?” asked Tang Ya. She was assigned the job of guarding him.
Mr. Tao smiled. “Yes. Since you’ve followed me here, you probably already Imow. ”
“Is this your first time here? Do you know much about this place?” Zhu Shen asked.
“I’ve heard about it.” Mr. Tao walked ahead. “Could it be…” Zhu Shen was deep in thought.
“Let’s go and see,” Mr. Tao said.
“Every time, it’s the same thing. It’s better not to listen to you. Every day is a riddle,” said Tang Ya in annoyance.
“This time, you didn’t have to come. It’s you who insisted on following us,” Zhu Shen said.
“I have never visited the West before. Naturally, I would be curious. Besides, the Astronomical Academy used to be the Master’s sect. It’s only right to come and see it for myself,” said Tang Ya.
Mr. Tao chuckled. “It is said that there is an immortal fate here, perhaps it will be beneficial for us too..”
