Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

Chapter 1022: Rejected By The Senior Sister

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lu Yuan had advanced.

He was a True Disciple of the Cliff of Broken Hearts.

He had been fighting with various sects. He even went undercover to Azure Mountain. He had recently returned from a mission.

When facing people of the same cultivation realm, he could observe the baleful aura and sense danger more readily.

His ability allowed him to survive. It saved him many times.

However, when he looked at Jiang Hao, he sensed nothing. There was only calmness there.

Nonetheless, Jiang Hao was not a danger to him.

If Jiang Hao was as outstanding as everyone said, he had yet to see why.

“Maybe I got the wrong person. Otherwise, he might have done something remarkable to deserve the reputation. He can’t get in my way anyway.”

Lu Yuan sighed and turned to leave.

He had thought that an extraordinary figure had finally appeared in the Heavenly Note Sect, but it was a pity that Jiang Hao was not what he had expected.

On the other hand, Han Ming was rather dangerous.

The surrounding aura was extraordinary, but it was not in the same realm as him.

However, he was fearless.

The stronger ones were rather interesting.

He was not afraid of failure. What he abhorred was cowardice.

Ning Xuan did not mind his words and left him with his confidence.

But…

She thought about Jiang Hao. She had met him when he was weak. She had seen him grow so fast.

The Blood Wish Path…

Perhaps the Blood Wish Path was really powerful.

She rarely interfered with the matters of the Spirit Herb Garden.

She didn’t have to meddle, since Jiang Hao was always present and overlooking the garden. He just refused to leave from there.

‘He’s really not fit for a demonic sect.’

It seemed Jiang Hao just wanted to remain out of the way. However, no one went unscathed when big things occurred in the world.

In the Spirit Herb Garden, Jiang Hao tended to the spirit herbs.

At the same time, he thought about things he needed to focus on.

So far, the Fallen Immortal Clan had not found him.

There were no signs that they were targeting him yet.

There was no need to worry about the Heavenly Extreme Dream Pearl.

The Four Great Monsters were even less of an issue at the moment.

The only thing he needed to think of was the dragon egg.

However, he was not in a hurry.

There was nothing urgent to deal with at the moment.

He just needs to prepare for the selection competition for the top disciples.

He went to Senior Brother Mu Qi’s house and reinforced the Mountain Sea Seal there.

The Mountain Sea Seal was no longer the same as before. It had become even more powerful because of the divine soul of the Holy Master.

However, he realized that Senior Sister Miao did not have the aura of the divine soul on her.

He was sure something had triggered the seal before. Who caused it to happen?

He did not think too much about it. Since Miao Tinglian was safe, he did not care who had triggered the seal.

That evening, Jiang Hao saw a sword intent soaring into the sky from the direction of the Cliff Master’s courtyard.

It was powerful and vast.

“Junior Brother Han is truly impressive, especially after having embarked on the way of the sword.” Jiang Hao was impressed.

Han Ming was no longer an ordinary swordsman.

It was almost impossible for the Cliff Master to guide him on this path.

“It must be because of Kendo’s teachings.” Jiang Hao recalled that the Cliff Master had spent a year in the mines with Senior Kendo to learn the way of the sword.

The Cliff Master had done it for Han Ming.

Jiang Hao thought about it. No One had ever treated him so well. Not one person had looked out for him when he was struggling to advance.

But he did not feel any envy. There was nothing to it. Everyone paved their own path.

“Senior Brother Han must be out of seclusion!” Some people were excited to see Han Ming’s progress.

Han Ming was the most prominent figure at the Cliff of Broken Hearts. He had brilliant potential and had a high status in the sect.

People thought that he would become a top disciple one day.

Whether it was to do with strength, achievements, or status, he had it all.

Jiang Hao shook his head and tended to the spirit herbs.

He did not know how long this peace would last. He had to live one day at a time and make the most of it.

Around early January, it was time for the selection process. Various cultivators at different cultivation realms participated in the Cliff of Broken Hearts.

Han Ming was sitting under a tree and wiping his sword.

He had bought the sword from Jiang Hao. This sword had great value.

With this sword, his path had become smooth, and his cultivation had progressed very fast.

With his master’s guidance, he seemed to have found a whole new world.

His future was limitless.

“Out of respect for Senior Brother Jiang, I will defeat him in the competition.”

Han Ming was at the peak of the Golden Core Realm. In a few years, he would advance to the Primordial Spirit Realm.

He was confident that he could surpass Jiang Hao soon.

He was a bit sentimental. Jiang Hao was the only senior who had left such an indelible mark on his cultivation journey.

“Senior Brother Han, the competition is about to begin. Everyone in the same cultivation realm will be heading to the arena. It will take about three days to choose the winner. Five days later, the sect will hold another competition between the ones picked from this competition. They will choose two people from there and provide resources,” said a Foundation Establishment Realm disciple.

Han Ming put away the sword in his hand.

Five days later, he would be famous.

He was looking forward to competing with Senior Brother Jiang.

He had been waiting for this day for over twenty years.

The first round was a competition between ten people. One winner would be chosen.

Eight others would be selected the next day.

On the last day, three rounds would decide the final winner.

Han Ming looked at the crowd and did not care about anything else.

This was a battle between the cultivators of the Golden Core Realm.

The others were nervous, but Han Ming was fearless.

There was no one here who could match him in a fight.

On the other side, Jiang Hao looked at the four cultivators at the peak of the Golden Core Realm.

All five of them would be competition.

It seemed that there were not many people at the peak of the Golden Core Realm.

Maybe some others were still trying to advance.

The four others looked at him in disdain.

“There is the one with the Blood Wish Path. You must have used other people’s blood to strengthen your cultivation before the fight, right?”

“I heard that those who practice Blood Wish Path have a very short lifespan. How long can you live anyway?” asked a brawny man.

“Senior, I’m really sorry if I have offended you somehow,” said Jiang Hao.

“Me? Get offended by you?” The brawny man sneered.

In an instant, the brawny man burst out with a powerful aura.

Jiang Hao held his Half-Moon Blade in his hand and launched a counterattack.

Boom!

They both were extremely fast.

Jiang Hao’s figure moved fast. The ground under his feet cracked.

The burly man’s strength was not enough. In the blink of an eye, a sword was placed against his shoulder.

“Senior, thank you for letting me win.”

The burly man was shocked.

He walked down from the arena.

After a long time, Jiang Hao also walked down from the arena.

“Did you see that? Is that really your junior brother?”

“Calm and composed as always. Every move he makes holds power,” said Miao Tinglian.

However, the woman beside her shook her head. “He doesn’t even look proud of himself. I like a man who knows he is strong and is not embarrassed to show it. I don’t like it when he hides like a hermit.”

Miao Tinglian sighed. Jiang Hao did have the personality of a hermit.

It was impossible to imagine him being proud and showing off his skills.

If he could, why would he stay in the Spirit Herb Garden all day and night?

“Thank you for showing him to me, Junior Sister. He is indeed not bad, but he is not what I want,” said Senior Sister Leng politely.

Miao Tinglian nodded and walked away.

“Failed again?” Mu Qi walked over to her.

“Don’t say that. This is the first time someone rejected him outright…” Miao Tinglian looked dejected.

“Well, Junior Brother Jiang is getting stronger, and the women you are trying to find for him are also at very high realms. Maybe they don’t really match,” said Mu Qi.

“How does he progress so fast? I’m about to reach the Primordial Spirit Realm soon. It’s enough time for me to find someone for him,” said Miao Tinglian confidently.

Mu Qi shook his head and did not say anything.
