Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

Chapter 1197: Can An Eighteen-Year-Old Girl Finally Welcome A New Beginning? (1)

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After the gathering started, Jiang Hao took his seat.

The people around him did not change.

He did not know if there had been others before him, or if new ones would be invited to the gathering.

However, all these people were on the path to becoming immortals.

Even the weakest of them would try to become an immortal twenty years later, so these people were powerful.

He wanted to make a deal with these people.

He had already made a deal with Xing. The only ones left were Gui and Liu.

Zhang had already become an immortal, so he had nothing to offer to her.

He could make a deal with Liu, but he did not know what he could offer Gui.

He was not in a hurry.

He just needed to take it slowly.

There were still twenty years left.

When everyone arrived, they bowed respectfully.

Then, he sat down cross-legged and waited for Senior Dan Yuan to speak.

They had not had a gathering for more than a year, so everyone had something to say.

“Are there any problems with your cultivation?” Dan Yuan asked with a smile.

“Senior, can divine abilities be improved?” Gui suddenly asked.

“Improving divine abilities?” Dan Yuan laughed softly. “It’s possible. But it won’t improve the ability itself, only the consumption of energy. Whether it is a spell or a divine ability, it’ll consume a lot of energy. The consumption can be large or small depending on the spell and ability. Improving the divine ability can’t be done from the performance of the ability itself but through the consumption of energy.”

Gui nodded.

She did not ask any more questions.

Jiang Hao did not know what kind of divine ability she wanted to change.

Gui had received a lot of Snow God Pills, so she must have the most divine abilities among everyone here.

Jiang Hao looked back and realized that his divine abilities had indeed consumed much of his energy.

Moreover, he had read about it in the nameless manual. He had learned to lower his consumption.

He had not only learned to lower it but also to hide it.

“If the abilities are already at full potential, how can I increase it further?” Xing asked.

“By tempering one’s own strength and controlling it, but that isn’t what you want to ask, is it Xing? Let’s talk about immortal intent. How do we comprehend immortal intent before becoming an immortal?” Dan Yuan looked at everyone.

Liu and Gui were curious.

Although Jiang Hao did not show it, he was listening attentively.

He needed to know.

“After stepping onto the Immortal Ascension Platform, all you can do is refine your cultivation. However, there is a limit to each realm. After reaching the limit, one can’t advance immediately, so one has to prepare to become an immortal. Immortal intent becomes a shortcut for immortals and also a way to open an immortal path. There are also differences in immortal intent. Some come from the teachings of others, while others come from understanding. There are countless things in the world. Cultivation, forging, alchemy, and talisman-making are all processes of accumulation and comprehension. These things are something we constantly come into contact with, but there are other things we don’t really interact with much. All living beings are ordinary, but even the most ordinary person or thing has the possibility of doing something extraordinary. Immortals are the manifestation of this. The cultivation realm can go from mortal to immortal. It is the same for forging and alchemy. Other ordinary matters also have infinite variations. This is what countless people call the Dao. It is also a kind of enlightenment. In this process, the state of mind will gradually change and depart from the mundane and condense into immortal intentions.”

“Then, does that mean one can only become immortal through cultivation?” Zhang asked.

“Yes. One must reach the Immortal Ascension Platform to become immortal,” Dan Yuan said and chuckled.

“Then, what else is important? The countless Dao paths of all living beings can clearly bring about immortal will, so why can’t they become immortals?” Zhang asked.

“Perhaps the Saint Bandits can answer that question properly.” Dan Yuan chuckled.

Zhang nodded and did not ask further.

Jiang Hao realized that Senior Dan Yuan must have heard of the Saint Bandits’ goal of unifying the world.

Everyone was equal in their eyes. One could cultivate to become immortals, or they could study and become immortals.

As long as one could comprehend it, all techniques in the world would pave a path to immortality.

All paths would lead to the same destination.

Talent would not be a hindrance to the immortal path.

It would belong to whoever fought for it.

According to the Saint Bandits, everyone would have a chance and would not be restricted by their talents.

At the moment, talent did matter. Apart from talent in cultivation, other skills were also required.

However, the requirements were not that high.

Jiang Hao could understand the Saint Bandits, but he did not want them to succeed. After all, it would bring a huge storm to the cultivation world.

Of course, their success did not matter much.

It would not affect him.

After that, there were no more problems.

Senior Dan Yuan mentioned the strange beast again.

Jiang Hao did not respond. The others also shook their heads.

Liu was not sure if the mutated beasts overseas were real.

“Can you contact Lou Mantian?” Dan Yuan smiled. “Someone wants to meet him at He Yunfeng Mountain of the Divine Corpse Sect. The reward is a Snow God Pill. But Lou Mantian must come himself.”

“What about his avatar?” Zhang asked.

“That works too.” Dan Yuan chuckled. “See you in fifteen days. If you can do it, you’ll be rewarded.”

That was difficult.

There were fifteen days left.

If the other party was not nearby, it would be impossible to get them to their destination.

If it was meant to fail, Senior Dan Yuan would not have brought it up.

Everyone guessed that the Corpse Ancestor was nearby.

“I might have a way, but it might take eighteen days,” Zhang said.

“Sure,” Dan Yuan said slowly.

“Do you want to see Gu Changsheng?” Gui asked.

Dan Yuan laughed but did not reply.

Jiang Hao understood why Gui had asked that.

She wanted the Snow God Pill.

It was Gui’s favorite thing in the world.

After Senior Dan Yuan assigned them the task, it was time for the trading segment.
