Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

Chapter 1200: Does That Mean You Can Insult Me, Trample On Me, And Rob Me? (2)

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

If the enemies could be handled by three Golden Core Realm cultivators, there was no need for her to intervene.

Bi Zhu forced out a smile. “Senior, you jest. It’s all because my family dotes on me, so they sent these two strong people to guard me. I can’t compare to you three. I don’t really have much talent for cultivation.”

“That’s true. The Golden Core Realm must be beyond some people’s reach. It’s only normal for you to be unable to reach it. We three were lucky,” said Jing Dajiang.

Lan Qian was speechless.

How did these three people dare to say such things?

They were talking to a princess!

The princess’s cultivation realm was ridiculously strong. Only the Elders and seniors of the sect could match her.

The three of them actually implied she was useless. They were mere Golden Core Realm cultivators!

However, Bi Zhu did not say anything, so Lan Qian did not dare to intervene.

She just waited for these three to feel ashamed of themselves.

…

Jiang Hao was tending to the spirit herbs in the Spirit Herb Garden.

Occasionally, he talked to Cheng Chou about cultivation.

He would be going out in a few years, so he needed to explain everything to Cheng Chou as soon as possible.

The trip might take ten to twenty years.

This period of time was extremely important to Cheng Chou. The gaps needed to be filled soon.

Mu Yin and Lin Zhi wanted to listen too.

Bing Qing would also occasionally listen to his lectures.

She was extremely powerful, but she was surprised when she heard Jiang Hao teach about cultivation.

The rest of the time was to learn the array formations.

Jiang Hao’s talent in array formations was really poor and needed some touching up.

Three months later, around early March, Cheng Chou could feel that the lectures from Senior Brother had increased in number.

He felt that it was strange, but he did not think too much about it.

After all, it had happened before.

As for the others, they thought Jiang Hao just needed more blood for the Blood Wish Path.

Jiang Hao did not care about what they thought. He just continued with his daily tasks.

Other than that, he still had something left to do.

He had to deal with the Black Dragon as soon as possible.

He could not find anyone from the sect to help him with it, but he had an adopted brother in Azure Mountain.

“So, you’re here to pester me again?” Li Qi looked at Jiang Hao. “Aren’t you afraid that I’ll self-destruct on the spot rather than choose to see you?”

“Brother Li, don’t say such things. I’ll then have to look for you everywhere else. It’ll be so tiring.” Jiang Hao smiled as he held the folding fan in his hand.

“Alright, alright!” Li Qi laughed. “You are the most shameless person I have ever met in my life. You truly surpass the Human Emperor in that aspect. Even the Four Great Monsters are less of a monster than you.”

“It’s not that I want to pester you all the time.” Jiang Hao lowered his head and sighed.

“Why then? Is there someone forcing you to pester me?” Li Qi asked disdainfully.

“I’m dying,” Jiang Hao said.

Li Qi was speechless. “Can’t you change your excuse to something else? What do you want this time?”

Jiang Hao took out the Black Dragon’s head. “I want to give the Black Dragon a small gift. Can you send him to the Lawless Tower of the Heavenly Note Sect? When he is no longer an immortal, you can reclaim him from there.”

“Do you know how many spirit stones this would take?” Li Qi asked coldly.

“I’m dying!” Jiang Hao said.

Li Qi was at a loss for words. “So? Does that mean you can insult me, trample on me, and rob me?”

In the end, Jiang Hao smiled and left.

Overseas, the Holy Master and the Great Thousand Sect launched another large-scale war.

It stressed out the Great Thousand God Sect.

All their plans were disrupted.

There was no problem in the past, but recently, something had happened.

What had caused this?

They decided to find some people to find out what had happened.

It was one thing for the Heavenly Saint Sect to be difficult to deal with, but the Holy Master was another matter.

He had too many divine souls. Once he retaliated, the whole Heavenly Saint Sect joined in.

It was very troublesome.

…

Jiang Hao returned to the sect and began to wait.

As expected, he heard the news at the beginning of April.

The Black Dragon was in the Lawless Tower.

It was said that someone had paid a high price.

Jiang Hao was quite touched.

The Holy Master had indeed done too much for him.

It would be very troublesome if they became enemies in the future.

However, the matter of the Black Dragon was almost settled. The only thing left were the people who were after Lin Zhi.

There was no hurry. Since the other party was making no move at the moment, he could improve himself first.

Then, he would look for them.

After that, Jiang Hao had nothing else to do.

He did not need to pay too much attention to the matters of the gathering. As long as they found the Red Dragon, it was enough.

After that, Jiang Hao abandoned many things and sat in the Spirit Herb Garden every day and tried to learn formations.

At night, he placed the Mountain Sea Seal on the Mountain Sea Merit Cauldron.

Half a year passed in the blink of an eye.

Jiang Hao did not even realize how quickly time had passed.

During this half year, there were no disputes in the sect, and no one came to disturb him.

Moreover, the feared Fallen Immortal Clan also had no news at all.

Perhaps they had not settled down yet. Maybe it would take a few years for them to make a move.

That was indeed troublesome.

Around early October, he felt that he already understood half of the array formations. By this time next year, he might fully understand them.

At that time, he would advance.

Then, he could spend another three years applying the Mountain Sea Seal to the Mountain Sea Merit Cauldron.

During this time, he would occasionally read the stone tablet.

Gui seemed to have encountered some trouble again. She was complaining about how hard life had become.

As for the Corpse Ancestor, he had gone to the Divine Corpse Sect.

The Divine Corpse Sect had gradually settled down, but the overall situation in the North was still chaotic.

As for other places, there was no news.

As for the South, Cheng Chou had only heard bits and pieces.

After he had explained to Cheng Chou about cultivation realms, everyone pitched in.

They assumed Jiang Hao was either at the end of his lifespan or he was in a hurry to break through.

They were right.

Jiang Hao just sighed when he heard that.

Sometimes, the people who mocked him out of jealousy actually got things right.

He was indeed nearing the end of his life and was eager to break through.

In thirty years, the ordinary non-cultivator’s lifespan would be longer than his.

“Junior Brother, recently you seem to be teaching not only Cheng Chou but also Lin Zhi and Mu Yin,” said Miao Tinglian. “Mu Qi said that you might need to go into seclusion again.”

Miao Tinglian sat beside Jiang Hao, who was tending to the spirit herbs. “Is that true? You aren’t really at the end of your lifespan, are you?”

Jiang Hao looked at Miao Tinglian in surprise.

Senior Brother Mu Qi’s judgment of people was accurate, to say the least.

He had already guessed it.

He wondered how he should answer her.

They were both right.

He fell silent.

“It’s over! Junior Brother Jiang, you have something big going on in your life, right?” Miao Tinglian asked.

Jiang Hao shook his head. “It’s just normal things, Senior Sister. Please don’t be alarmed.”

Ever since he had encountered the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl, everything else seemed normal. Nothing seemed surprising.

Miao Tinglian did not think too much about it and then started talking about finding him a partner.

She told him that it would be difficult to choose a partner in the future. If she kept at it, she might have to choose someone from the top disciples.

Her cultivation was not high enough, so she could only count on Mu Qi if it came to that.

Mu Qi’s progress at cultivation was extremely fast, and he was about to reach the late stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm.

He was not so far away from challenging the tenth-ranked top disciple, and Mu Qi was still very young.

He also had significant respect and influence in the sect.

Jiang Hao left silently without thinking too much about it.

Another six months passed just like that.

In April of the following year, Jiang Hao felt the gentle breeze in the courtyard, and the surrounding formations slowly lit up.

“It’s almost time. There’s finally some progress.”

It had been more than a year, and his talent had improved. He did not even need to spend two years learning it.

At most, he had spent three months there.

“It’s time to go overseas to continue cleaning the treasures and advance…”

Jiang Hao went and accepted a sect’s mission.

The Senior Sister at the Task Hall beamed with joy. Jiang Hao asked her how long the mission could be extended.

“Based on your reputation, the longest you can take is three years. If you frequently accept missions over the next few years and complete or submit spirit stones on time, you can extend it to twenty years. Of course, there will also be substantial compensation for failed missions.”

‘Twenty years…’ Jiang Hao felt that it was enough, but he did not know if it really could be extended that long.

If he used his achievements at the Merit Hall as collateral, he wondered if he could get it.

After that, Jiang Hao went overseas and entered a warehouse again.

This time, no one followed him.

Mu Longyu and the others had already assumed that he was not going to show up.

No one dared to act recklessly.

After all, no one could figure this mysterious man out.

Two months later, around early June, Jiang Hao once again left the sea and returned to the sect.

This time, he walked to Azure Mountain.

He had accumulated enough cultivation points.

The only thing left was to digest the divine soul of the Holy Master. For that, he had to rely on Brother Li once again.
