Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

Chapter 1142: When Merit Is Exhausted, The World Will Be in Chaos

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Gui asked for a Snow God Pill once again.

She seemed to lack nothing except for those pills.

Perhaps the pill enhanced her innate talent and gave her joy.

Jiang Hao sighed. He also wanted one. Maybe then he could get some new divine ability.

He had not found any purple bubbles lately. He did not obtain any new divine ability.

It was extremely difficult to obtain purple bubbles.

The Immortal Peach Tree was a last resort.

If there was no hope of becoming an immortal, he would try his best to complete the last incarnation of the Immortal Peach Tree.

If he was lucky enough to survive the calamity, that might give him a purple bubble that he could use. Perhaps something that could change his fate.

However, there was still hope, and he would not waste his resources for a last incarnation at the moment.

There was no more news about the Four Great Monsters yet. They entered the trading phase of the gathering.

“I got what you wanted, Gui,” said Jiang Hao.

Gui was surprised. ‘So fast?’ She thought.

She obtained the secret technique from a stone tablet.

It was the third secret technique of the Nine Extreme Corpse Dissolution Techniques.

“This is impressive! What else do you need me to do?” Gui asked.

“Roughly, where are you situated at the present?” Jiang Hao asked after some thought.

“The southern region’s border falls closer to the northern region,” said Gui.

Everyone was surprised.

What was the Gui doing near the North in this chaos?

Jiang Hao lowered his head in thought. His original intention was to ask Gui to find the Grand Earth Emperor and ask for an eggshell.

It was hard to say when she would return to the South.

However, there was indeed something he wanted to do in the North.

But it was not a small matter.

“Are you planning to go to the Divine Corpse Sect?” Jiang Hao asked.

“Yes.”

Her previous questions and the information she provided at the gathering were all related to the North. So, it was obvious she was somewhere near the northern region.

She had come into contact with the people of the Divine Corpse Sect.

“Maybe there’s a place that can suppress the evil corpse of the Divine Corpse Sect,” Jiang Hao said.

“What do you want from there, Friend Jing?” Gui asked in surprise.

If she could, she would definitely try to find someone who could suppress whatever was happening in the North.

“There is a place in the Divine Corpse Sect called Ancient Sword Cliff. A place inside needs a secret technique to enter. The suppression technique might be inside. I want some eggshells from there.”

“Is it similar to the Human Emperor’s Palace?” Gui was stunned.

Jiang Hao nodded.

Everyone was surprised.

In other words, this was all still related to the Dragon Clan.

There was a dragon egg in the Human Emperor’s Palace.

The Ancient Sword Cliff was a similar place. Did that mean that there were dragon eggs inside?

Gui felt like her guess was right. Jing was somehow connected to the Dragon Clan.

The matter of the overseas Ancestral Dragon’s Heart had a lot to do with Jing.

She did not know what his goal was.

However, she agreed. That kind of place usually held great opportunities.

It would be a pity not to go there at least once.

It would be best if her luck would not blaze like last time. Ordinary luck was enough for her.

“The Heavenly Corpse Pill will be here in a few days. As for the Corpse Ancestor, it all depends on luck,” Zhang said.

Gui nodded.

“Is there a place with immortal intent overseas? It would be best if it has something to do with the stars,” Xing said.

Hearing this, everyone was surprised.

“Yes,” Liu said.

Then, he told the other party the location through the stone tablet.

Xing nodded. “What do you need in exchange, Liu?”

“Another secret technique of the Dragon Clan related to physical technique or some Confucian treasure,” said Liu.

“I have that.” Xing smiled and nodded.

After that, there were no more transactions.

It was the phase where they exchanged information that everyone looked forward to.

As everyone’s cultivation improved, trading became less frequent. Having fewer matters when one’s cultivation was high was one thing, but mainly, everyone was preparing to become immortals and had no energy to worry about other things.

“I’ll go first,” Gui said seriously. “There seem to be a lot of evil corpses in the North. There are also some clans buried underground that are running amok. Not only that, but there is also a chance that this will affect other places.”

“Other places?” Liu asked. “The other three regions or the overseas area?”

“All of them. It’s said that the treasure doesn’t just belong to the North but to the entire world. Because it’s gone, the impact will only get larger.” Gui sighed and turned to Jing.

“What exactly is this item?” she asked.

Everyone felt glad she had asked the question.

Jiang Hao sighed. Sometimes, Gui was indispensable because she asked the right question, but it was also troublesome.

However, he could not hide it anymore.

After a moment of silence, he said, “The Mountain Sea Merit Cauldron.”

Xing was shocked.

“Do you know about it, Xing?” Liu asked.

“Yes.” Xing nodded. “It’s said that the Mountain Sea Merit Cauldron has a long history. It’s a divine item forged by a great figure… a great senior, with great luck to help the world. The Merit Cauldron can gather merit and suppress all ill fortune. Legend has it that those with great luck or profound cultivation can hold the Mountain Sea Merit Cauldron in their hands. Their goal is none other than to inherit the ancient legacy and absorb merit. The departure of the Mountainous Sea Merit Cauldron would cause chaos in the world.”

The more Xing spoke, the stranger he felt.

This was not normal.

Logically speaking, the Merit Cauldron had left its resting place.

The others were also surprised. They looked at Jing and then looked at Senior San Yuan.

The latter smiled. “Why is the Mountain Sea Merit Cauldron able to suppress ill luck in all directions?”

“Because of its merit?” Gui said.

“Yes. That is why the North is in chaos.”

The Merit Cauldron was missing? Why was it missing?

For a moment, everyone was puzzled, but they quickly thought of something.

“Does that mean that the less merit you have, the greater the impact it’ll create? By then, all four regions and all the overseas areas might be in trouble,” Liu said.

“Where there are hidden dangers, there will naturally be problems,” Dan Yuan said with a smile.

Everyone was surprised. It turned out that the chaos was not only in the North but in other places too.

He had to prepare.

“Have you forgotten what happened?” Zhang looked at everyone. “Why did the Mountain Sea Merit Cauldron leave the North in the first place?”

The moment this question appeared in their minds, they had an answer.

The Heavenly Extreme Dream Pearl resonated with other Heavenly Pearls, which led to a crisis.

At that moment, everyone was stunned.

So, the current crisis was actually caused by the depletion of merit.

If the merit was exhausted, then…

Everyone broke out in a cold sweat.

If the merit was exhausted, it was highly likely to trigger the eruption of the Heavenly Pearls.

Everyone suddenly felt that chaos in the North was not the only big problem.

“So…” Gui looked at Senior Dan Yuan. “When the four regions and overseas are in chaos, will the problem be as grave as it was before?”

Senior Dan Yuan nodded slightly but did not speak.

Gui felt helpless and desperate. What kind of struggle was this?

She was only eighteen years old.
