Chapter 1019: For The Heavenly Blade’s Sake

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

At Peach Forest Island, Jiang Hao and Hong Yuye stepped on the street. Peach blossoms were everywhere.

It was pleasing to see.

“This place feels like it’s far away from all the hustle and bustle,” Jiang Hao said softly.

Everyone seemed very laid-back in this place.

Jiang Hao thought of a possibility.

Another title for Heavenly King Taomu was the Heavenly King of Judgement.

Under his jurisdiction, if anyone did anything wrong, they would be put on trial.

This place was clearly under his jurisdiction.

It was similar to the Heavenly Note Sect’s strict rule against killing sect disciples.

‘I haven’t let Little Wang out for a long time.’ Jiang Hao thought.

Then, a large dog appeared in front of Jiang Hao.

When it first came out, it was in a listless state. It slowly recovered when it began to observe its surroundings.

“Your dog seems a little timid,” Hong Yuye said.

“Senior, you must be joking. It’s not mine. This is Xiao Li’s dog,” Jiang Hao said.

Xiao Li wanted a dog.

Jiang Hao could not tame the Nine Nether, but Xiao Li had a natural ability to do that with her Dragon Pearl. Since she wanted a dog, she had made it look like a dog.

“Then, you’ve helped her take care of it quite well.” Hong Yuye looked at Jiang Hao.

When Little Wang came out, it was still very small. It slowly grew into the size of an adult dog.

It ate a lot. Its fur also became softer.

“It’s all thanks to you, senior,” said Jiang Hao.

Hong Yuye walked ahead. “Are you going to compete for the title of top disciple after returning to the Heavenly Note Sect?”

Jiang Hao nodded.

Once he found a good pickaxe, he could return to the South.

“Are you here to buy something before the pre-selection?” Hong Yuye asked.

“I was thinking of buying some magical treasure and helping you investigate while I’m at it,” Jiang Hao said respectfully.

Hong Yuye chuckled. “Do you ever feel conflicted when you lie so blatantly?”

“I don’t know what you mean, Senior,” said Jiang Hao.

Hong Yuye did not say anything. Then, she asked, “When you used the One Heart Palm that time, what did you use to see those things?”

“The Heaven Lock Technique,” Jiang Hao said truthfully.

Before, he could not understand the technique. But with his strength and knowledge at present, he could not get enough of using it.

The Heaven Lock Technique could allow him to see more things, but it could help him understand everything.

Out of curiosity, he asked Hong Yuye, “It’s the Art of Suppression. Perhaps you’ll be able to comprehend it in the future. And…” Hong Yuye looked at Jiang Hao but did not continue.

“And?” Jiang Hao asked.

Hong Yuye did not respond.

Jiang Hao was helpless.

He had the Universe in a Palm ability. Was there anything more powerful than that?

As his cultivation realm increased, the Universe in a Palm became more and more powerful.

In addition, there was the Mountain Sea Seal that added more suppressive power.

He did not care much about other suppression techniques.

After a while, Jiang Hao walked out of the inn.

He had brewed September Spring for Hong Yuye.

There was only a little of it left.

It should last until he bought some other type of tea.

He headed to the Old Armament Building.

The pavilion was tall, and the golden roof reflected the sun. A huge hammer stood on the side.

“That’s the most spectacular attic I’ve ever seen.”

Jiang Hao sighed and walked in.

He went straight to the highest floor.

He saw a senior blacksmith.

He was quite arrogant. When Jiang Hao asked if he could buy or forge a pickaxe, the blacksmith asked him to leave/

Jiang Hao had not expected that.

He had no choice but to take out the Heavenly Blade.

The other party reluctantly agreed to sell him a pickaxe when he saw the blade.

He said it would cost him fifty spirit stones per hammer.

A total of 9,999 hammers were required to make the pickaxe.

The quality was not that good, but it could be used 999 times.

That would mean five hundred thousand spirit stones…

Jiang Hao had no choice but to take out the storage treasures he had picked up from the Fallen Immortal Clan members.

He chose some broken magic treasures as an exchange.

He had picked up many treasures near the dragon skeleton.

There were only 90,000 spirit stones inside.

The magic treasures he did have were all broken.

He could not believe he had found so few spirit stones.

The Blood Dragon Sect member he had killed did not have spirit stones either.

He had 210,000 spirit stones and some broken magical treasures.

Fortunately, the trade went smoothly.

“Senior, are you the manager here?” Jiang Hao asked. He wanted to ask about Chi Tian.

“No.” The old man shook his head.

He held the shield and studied it for a while. It was not easy to forge or repair a magic weapon.

“Then, who is the manager?” Jiang Hao asked with a smile.

“In the room at the top. If you want to see him, go up yourself,” the old man said.

“Aren’t you going to inform them?” Jiang Hao asked.

The old man looked up. “If you need it, I’ll get someone to report it.”

“No need.” Jiang Hao smiled. “I’ll go up and take a look.”

Then, he turned around and left.

It would take fifteen days to get the pickaxe, so there was plenty of time.

At that moment, on the highest floor, Chi Tian sat at a table and looked into the distance.

He had a panoramic view of the city below. It was bustling with activity.

Not everyone could come up to visit him.

Even if their cultivation realm was high, they still had to bow to him.

“I’ve already reached such a height.”

Chi Tian sighed.

“Congratulations. You’re so amazing,” said a voice from behind.

Chi Tian was shocked. He turned around.

It was a man, but he could not see his face clearly.

He recognized the person.

It was the person who held his fate in his hands.

“Greetings, senior,” said Chi Tian and lowered his head respectfully.

“I was just passing by, so I thought I should see you. It seems you have reached great heights of success,” said Jiang Hao calmly.

“It’s all thanks to your guidance, Senior,” Chi Tian said. He was afraid.

“Do you still remember our agreement?” Jiang Hao asked.

“Of course. I’ll go to the end of the earth for you, senior,” said Chi Tian.

Jiang Hao looked at the other party and felt that he was a bit unwilling despite his eager words.

He had a high status here. Why would he be willing to serve another person?

When people gained power, they started getting other ideas.

They often became reckless. However, staying alive was the most important thing.

“You really haven’t changed at all,” Jiang Hao said with a smile.

“Thank you for the praise, Senior.” Chi Tian lowered his head. “It’s only natural for me to work for you, Senior. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be where I am today. I wouldn’t have achieved my vengeance as well.”

“So… you do remember.” Jiang Hao was surprised.

He thought that Chi Tian had forgotten everything.

He did not expect him to remember everything. Jiang Hao thought Chi Tian would be busy thinking of ways to get rid of him instead.

He had not expected Chi Tian to keep his promise. It was just natural for someone to forget their promise.

After all, he had everything at the moment.

Jiang Hao left after that.

He did not plan to pull in the favor Chi Tian owed him. Maybe he could do that in the future.

He had only dropped in to greet him this time.

Fifteen days later, around mid-December, Jiang Hao got his pickaxe.

It was very handy.

He wanted to find a mine to dig for ores.

Unfortunately, he could not find it yet.

In addition, he needed spent spirit stones to buy an early-stage Primordial Spirit Blade.

It was time to get a new one.
