Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

Chapter 1202: Stepping Onto The Immortal Ascension Platform

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Jiang Hao did not return to his residence immediately. Instead, he headed overseas.

It took a few days to deliver the item to the Holy Master.

The other party was stunned.

How did this person travel such a long distance in just a few days?

From this, he understood that it would be very difficult to hunt this person down.

In just a few days, he had crossed the entire southern region and arrived overseas.

Was there anyone in the world who could do something like that?

He himself had not descended completely.

“Brother Li, I leave this to you.” Jiang Hao smiled and disappeared on the spot.

He returned to the Spirit Herb Garden.

He went to hand in the mission.

Lately, he had been accepting and spending spirit stones quite frequently.

Out of the ten thousand spirit stones, only three thousand were left.

To make sure he could take on more tasks, he sold two packs of September Spring.

This way, he could still accept more than ten missions.

With a little savings, he would be able to extend the deadline to twenty years next time.

If it’s not enough, he would use his merits to make up for it.

It might be possible.

After that, Jiang Hao began his final study.

Three months later, around mid-September, Mi Lingyue was pleasantly surprised in the Lawless Tower.

“Have you learned it? How many years did it take?” Mi Lingyue asked.

“About two years,” said the lantern bearer and sighed. “Even I learned it by just listening to it from here.”

“Me too,” Yan Shang said.

Zhuang Dongyun seemed somewhat disdainful.

Jiang Hao was here to learn the array formations and did not pay attention to these people.

His talent was indeed not that good, but at least he learned it in two years.

It was quite an achievement for him.

He slowly got up and bowed to Mi Lingyue and the others. “Thank you for your guidance, Seniors.”

“You’re welcome,” Mi Lingyue said with a smile.

It was fine as long as he did not beckon to her.

However, his talent for formations was lower than average. It was much weaker than talisman-making.

Jiang Hao gave them each a peach.

Since the Lawless Tower had not asked him to interrogate these people, he had nothing else to do here.

Of course, most of them were very cooperative these days.

He did not need to do anything.

Even Yan Shang cooperated without any encouragement.

She did not even wait for Jiang Hao to interrogate her.

If they did not cooperate, they would just embarrass themselves by submitting to Jiang Hao. It would not look good.

The lantern bearer had been the cleverest of them all. Jiang Hao had never beckoned to him.

Occasionally, he laughed at the others.

If this were outside, with his limited strength, how could he mock the people here?

He might have the lowest cultivation realm compared to the ones who were captives here.

“I’ve troubled you long enough,” said Jiang Hao and left.

He wanted to go back and advance fast.

He wanted to see how many years he had left.

He still had thirty-one years left.

A year had passed. The Mountain Sea Seal had proven very effective. Otherwise, two years would have been deducted.

In the courtyard, Jiang Hao inspected everything inside and out.

After confirming that there were no problems, he extracted his cultivation and began to advance.

This time, Jiang Hao felt like his brow was on fire. The cauldron burned intensely.

The fluctuations on the Immortal Ascension Platform were even greater than he had expected.

It was much stronger than the previous one.

For a moment, he was worried about how much more time it would deduct. But there was no turning back. He could only continue to advance.

He did not know how long the burning sensation on his brows lasted, but he felt like he had taken a step forward.

Finally, he landed on the vast platform.

He looked up and saw endless nothingness.

He was finally here! This was the path to the immortal platform.

He began cultivating at the age of five and rapidly progressed at the age of nineteen.

At forty-nine years old, he had reached the Immortal Ascension Platform after traversing the Foundation Establishment Realm, the Golden Core Realm, the Primordial Spirit Realm, the Soul Ascension Realm, the Return to Void Realm, and finally the pre-Immortal Ascension Platform.

He had reached the platform that countless others only dreamed about.

Feeling the unprecedented power, Jiang Hao was a little dazed.

He had become so powerful.

He was still just an ordinary inner sect disciple of the Cliff of Broken Hearts.

Jiang Hao opened his eyes and clenched his. “Now that I’m strong enough, can I reason with the Pavilion Master of Heavenly Joy Pavilion? Luckily, the other party has already let it go. Otherwise, I might have had to convince him to let go. I wonder how big of a gap there is in strength between my Master and me…”

The Cliff Master might be at the eighth stage of the Immortal Ascension Platform or above.

Even if he was at the final stage, Jiang Hao might be able to fight him.

However, he had no such intention.

It was not necessary.

He had to rely on the Heavenly Note Sect to lead a peaceful life.

In addition, Elder Baizhi was an immortal, and he could not afford to offend her.

As for the Sect Master…

She was an existence that he could not even fathom. It was best not to be too reckless.

Otherwise, the consequences would be dire.

After that, Jiang Hao appraised his condition.

When he saw the feedback, he frowned.

Then, he sighed. Seven years had been deducted!

That meant that he did not have much time left.

He initially had thirty-one years left, but after the deduction, he only had twenty-four years left to live.

Twenty-four years, and this was with the Desolate Sea Pearl…

If he did not have the pearl…

He could not even think about it.

His condition was worse than he had expected it to be.

However, there was still time.

Hai Luo and the others only needed twenty years at most.

It had been only five years since the agreement.

At that time, he only had about twenty-four years left. Unexpectedly, five years had passed.

He still had twenty-four years left because of the help of so many divine objects.

“It’s alright. It’s not too bad.”

Jiang Hao looked at his interface.

He realized that this advancement was still in line with his progress before the Immortal Ascension Platform opened for him.

He had spent more than eighty points of his cultivation and lifeblood this time.

Without hesitation, he extracted the remaining points and began to refine his cultivation.

The next day, Jiang Hao drew a formation on the ground and placed the divine soul in the center and the spirit stones around it.

Three days later, the three illusionary mountains between his eyebrows began to birth new mountains.

At that moment, he was like the mountain and the sea. He possessed the majesty of a sturdy mountain and the vastness of the immense sea.

The Desolate Sea Pearl stirred up, and the sound of waves reverberated.

Who would have thought that he, who had remarkably made it to the Immortal Ascension Platform, would only have twenty-four years to live?

…

Outside the Heavenly Note Sect, an old, withered man stared at the sect’s grand array formation. He revealed a toothy grin with broken yellow teeth.

“This sect is just ordinary. Even so, I can’t afford to mess with it now. Luckily, I recovered a bit. Someone must have eaten those fruits. I just need to wait a little longer to devour the nutrients from their bodies! Maybe they’ll mature in the next one or two years… My strength has also recovered to the Immortal Ascension Platform. If I absorb some heavenly treasures, it won’t be difficult for me to ascend further. At that time, a mere formation won’t be enough to stop me. I’ll go in and such some flesh and blood! This ordinary sect can’t stop me!”

The old man smiled.

He had been waiting for a long time.

He was waiting for the fruit to ripen and for his cultivation realm to increase.

The person who ate his fruit was only at the Foundation Establishment Realm.

There would not be any problems this time.

Of course, he would not let anyone discover him.

His concealment ability was not weak at all. Relying on this ability, he had gained countless opportunities.

Even though the times had changed, there were not many people who could compare to him.

“The sect should be proud for making someone like me feel so cautious…”

Six months later, around early March of the following year, Jiang Hao took out the fruit and sighed.

“Looks like he’s coming. After this matter is settled, there’ll be Xiao Li’s issue. It’s almost time for me to leave.”

He was about to venture on the path of immortality.
