Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

Chapter 1132: Do You Want To Become An Immortal? (2)

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“We can’t even waste half a year,” said Mu Longyu. “You’re too weak right now. Try to improve your cultivation as much as possible in the next six months.”

“In half a year?” Hai Luo asked.

“We don’t have time,” Mu Longyu said.

“No time?” Hai Luo looked at Mu Longyu and smiled. “Forget about half a year, even if you have a hundred years to yourself, do you really think you can become an immortal?”

“A hundred years?” Mu Longyu shook his head with a smile. “Hai Luo, let me tell you this. We only have twenty-five years. If we exceed twenty-five years, you won’t have a chance to become an immortal in this life. At that time, if you are not on the Immortal Ascension Platform, you will be trapped forever. I know you know a lot about it, but what you know is only the dark side of this thing.”

Heavenly King Hai Luo frowned.

“What do you think of your… Master?” asked Mu Longyu.

“He might be your Master!” Hai Luo sneered.

“Fair enough,” Mu Longyu said.

This surprised Hai Luo.

Mu Longyu had no objections to that. That person could help him find a person who could make them immortals. He had even helped find a way out for Mi Lingyue and their son.

No one knew so much of his secrets in this world than Jiang Hao. What was wrong with calling him a Master?

“What do you mean?” Hai Luo asked.

Mu Longyu looked at the person in front of him. “He has the method to help us become immortals. But twenty-five years are all he gave us. Time waits for no one, after all. Now, I want to ask you something. Do you want to become an immortal, Hai Luo?”

Seeing how serious Mu Longyu was, Heavenly King Hai Luo burst out into laughter. “What a joke! The Twelve Heavenly Kings are so desperate that they believe the words of a mere Golden Core Realm cultivator! Just because he says there is a way, you believe him? He said twenty-five years, so you are willing to give it your all in that time frame? All this just because he says so? Where is your dignity as a king? Where is your pride? Have you prepared any resources for me?”

Mu Longyu was speechless.

After some time, King Hai Luo sat cross-legged on the magic treasure and began to increase his cultivation.

Mu Longyu had some people watch over it to prevent any accidents from happening.

He did not send the news back because he did not want anyone to know and attack them.

After he told Hai Luo about everything, he remained silent. He told no one else.

He could only inform the others when he reached overseas safely with Hai Luo.

If someone were to intercept them midway…

He was not in any danger, but it was hard to say for Hai Luo.

If they lost Hai Luo, the others would never become immortals.

So, he had to wait patiently to return overseas.

There were still a lot of things to do after they returned. They had to run errands to fulfill Jiang Hao’s request.

Jiang Hao probably wanted the treasures because he was learning to forge them.

He did not know this to be true, but it did not matter.

He could take the treasures all for himself if he wanted.

…

On an island in the deep sea, Xu Bai looked up at the sky.

There was only silence.

He sat cross-legged on the shore of the island.

The power in his body surged as if it was waiting for the moment to erupt.

“It seems that your time is almost up.” A blue-robed woman walked over with a pearl in her hand.

Her dress fluttered gently in the breeze. She had a beautiful face and clear eyes that looked sorrowful. Her thick black hair fell to her waist like a cascading waterfall.

She sighed as she faced the person before her.

Xu Bai shook his head. “It’s not time yet. The fate of the immortal hasn’t arrived yet.”

“Is there any news?” she asked.

“Nothing good.” Xu Bai shook his head.

“It seems that the Twelve Heavenly Kings have no hope of becoming immortals. They need to think of another way out.” The blue-robed woman lowered her head in thought.

“Do you have a way?”

“Yes. But it’ll cause extreme harm to you,” said Xu Bai.

“With the arrival of the Great Era War, the Heavenly Kings’ Fortune is the greatest constraint for them. If they cannot ascend to immortality, they must seek another way out and prepare early. Moreover, we’ve received secret letters from the Great Thousand Divine Sect. They state that the Twelve Heavenly Kings have absolutely no chance of becoming immortals.” The blue-robbed woman looked even sadder than before.

Victory or defeat… That was the way of the Heavenly Kings.

“Didn’t you say that a Heavenly King has gone out to find a way?” he asked.

“If hope were so easily found, why have no Heavenly Kings become immortals in countless years?” The blue-robed woman shook her head.

“The Sage and the one with the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment say there is a special aura that appeared overseas. I think there might be a way there. If the Heavenly Kings want to become immortals, this will be their chance.”

That was also part of the reason why he had not left already.

The blue-robed woman lowered her head and fell silent.

Perhaps only when one was directly involved in the situation could they see how difficult this was. It was almost hopeless.

It was necessary to find a way soon. When the Great Era War happened, and if by then they could not become immortals, they would be as helpless as a fish on a chopping board.

It was intolerable.

“I heard that there is a commotion happening in The End Of All Things in the depths of the sea. Something must have happened,” said the blue-robed woman.

“The core person of The End of All Things has delayed his return.” Xu Bai smiled.

The blue-robed woman was shocked. ‘He already knew about it? How did he know?’

“It seems that you are as well-informed as ever.”

“I just happened to find out recently.” Xu Bai smiled and shook his head.

“Many people from The End of All Things have gone North. It’s said that their goal is to obtain the Four Great Monsters,” the blue-robed woman said.

Xu Bai was a little surprised.

It seemed that The End of All Things might cause some trouble again.

The North might suffer even more chaos.

The blue-clothed woman said, “They’ve sent people to the West as well but only a few. They can’t find anything, I think. My people have already gone to the West. They might find something there.”

“Thank you.” Xu Bai thanked her.

“If the Twelve Heavenly Kings are unable to become immortals, we will have to rely on you,” the blue-robed woman said seriously.

“I’ll do my best.” Xu Bai nodded without hesitation.

…

Jiang Hao saw numerous bookshelves when he entered the warehouse.

Each shelf had something on it. The item looked ordinary. He could not sense any spiritual fluctuations.

‘There are a total of three floors here… all going down. I wonder what the third level holds.’

Jiang Hao thought about it and walked to the first item.

It was a rusty spirit sword. There was a book near it. It recorded information about the sword.

[Dark Iron Sword: a spiritual sword forged by the Iron Jade Sect that was destroyed 300 years ago. It has no edge and is very heavy. The forging method is the same as the one they used to refine the Bloodthirsty Sword. It can be used to forge hammers. It’s strength…]

Jiang Hao found that the information in the book was very detailed.

‘Amazing! Do blacksmiths have to have such extensive knowledge about treasures?’

Jiang Hao put down the book and sighed.

He took out a rag and began to wipe the sword clean.

The sword had a lot of rust on it, so it took some time to clean it.

Jiang Hao was in no rush. He cleaned it very carefully so that he did not miss a spot.

After he finished cleaning it, the sword looked much better, but he did not get any bubbles out of it.

“Isn’t three hundred years long enough for this treasure to accumulate some bubbles?”

Jiang Hao sighed wearily.

Then, he walked to the second shelf. There was a rusted knife on it. He took a look at the book. It was supposed to have been forged a thousand years ago.

When he wiped it, a white bubble fell.

[Spirit +1]

‘I got something!’

If he found one bubble here, he might find more while wiping others.

After all, this was just the beginning. The treasures on this level were mostly ordinary.

There were still many things to be examined.

He did not know how many months it would take to wipe all the treasures clean.

Jiang Hao was not in a hurry. He began to clean the treasures one by one.

The first ten items gave him a green bubble.

[Spirit Sword +1]

Jiang Hao did not stop.

Late at night, he wiped the fiftieth treasure clean.

It was a shield.

Halfway through, a blue bubble fell.

[Cultivation +1]

‘Bubbles are appearing now!’

Jiang Hao was delighted.

He continued wiping the treasures clean.

Another blue bubble fell.

[Lifeblood +1]

The shield had given him two bubbles. It was definitely not an ordinary treasure.

Upon closer inspection, there was a faint ball of light inside it. It seemed like an inheritance treasure.

He made a note of it in the book accompanying it.

He looked at the time, used the golden ring to teleport to the courtyard at his home, and watered the spirit herbs.

Then, he returned to the warehouse and continued wiping the treasures clean.

He wanted the bubbles, but he could not neglect the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower either.

Although there was a certain degree of danger in going back and forth, it was necessary.

Meanwhile, in the West, Yan Yuezhi looked at the moonlight and hesitated for a while before heading to the backyard again.
