Chapter 1531: Chapter 1319: Demoness: Are You Finally Going to Make a Name for Yourself?_2
The only one who could be affected was Jiang Hao.
So, in the end, this matter was still his own to deal with.
“It seems I really have to make the trip myself,” Jiang Hao thought.
Once this issue was resolved, everyone could be released in an orderly fashion.
Heaven Lock would see the light of day again.
And he would have to keep hiding here, unable to go out at will.
After leaving the Lawless Tower, Jiang Hao returned to the Spirit Herb Garden.
He tidied up briefly and set up his stall to sell talismans in the evening.
The more he sold, the more impatient he became.
He felt that doing these things was useless, after all, he wasn’t short of spirit stones.
But the more anxious he became, the less Jiang Hao wanted to leave.
His mind started to become chaotic, as if there was something bothering him.
Yet he didn’t feel there was anything worth the anxiety to leave for.
As of now, the only thing that occupied his mind was the Ancestral Dragon’s Heart.
But that didn’t affect his stall operation at all.
However, operating the stall was making him impatient.
It was the advancement in realms that was causing this.
He felt that doing these things couldn’t improve his cultivation.
“Maybe when I feel that every move I make is part of cultivation, I won’t be so impatient,”
Jiang Hao thought to himself.
He ran his stall for a long time but didn’t encounter any regular customers.
Only when night had completely fallen did he finally return.
He needed to find a way to make a trip to the North.
For now, the fastest method would be to use the secret realm of Helpless Heaven.
But Jiang Hao didn’t know if the secret realm had ended.
When he returned to his residence,
he saw a spirit beast looking battered and hanging from the perimeter wall.
It had been a long time since he had seen a spirit beast in such a state.
After all, being a Spirit Refinement Realm monster and hanging like this was quite rare.
As he walked through the gate into the courtyard, a red figure came into view.
She sat under the Immortal Peach Tree, gazing at the fruit on the tree, lost in thought.
Seeing this, Jiang Hao did not disturb her and quietly stepped into the yard.
For a moment, he didn’t know what to do.
So, he decided to take care of the spirit herbs.
He had quite a few things here, but he rarely paid attention to them.
At most, he looked after the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower and the Longevity Fruit.
The rest he merely managed casually, without much concern.
Even the presence of a holy medicine could not draw his gaze.
In just a few short decades, he had been too busy.
He had experienced many more things than the average person.
Putting aside these messy thoughts, Jiang Hao looked towards the Longevity Fruit.
There were no ants on the fruit anymore.
There was only one tree now, absorbing everything, currently in bloom.
Perhaps in a few more years, it would bear fruit.
This time, the fruit would be the Longevity Dao Fruit from the longevity fruit fireworks.
Whether it would be a half-finished product or a finished one was unknown.
“What do you think this tree will bear?” Heavenly Note Sect’s voice suddenly rang out.
Jiang Hao turned his head and saw that Heavenly Note Sect had stopped pondering.
He went to the table and began to brew tea:
“It should be a Longevity Dao Fruit,” he replied.
“Then will eating it confer immortality on you?” Heavenly Note Sect spoke softly.
After a moment’s thought, Jiang Hao asked curiously, “What does senior think qualifies as a Longevity Dao Fruit?
Is it having a long life, or having a seed that grows tall enough to shadow over the land?”
Heavenly Note Sect’s gaze landed on the Longevity Fruit Tree, saying:
“What do you think immortality means? Is it being born alongside Dao, or walking with Dao?”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Hao asked in confusion, “To be born with Dao, and to live a long and prosperous life, isn’t that immortality?”
“Is it?” Heavenly Note Sect said with a smile, “When heaven unleashes its killing intent, can you still live?”
At this, Jiang Hao paused, blurting out involuntarily, “Spring brings birth and fall brings death, such is the way Dao sows the winds of the universe.”
In the end, Jiang Hao shook his head and sighed, “Senior’s realm is too high, I still don’t understand.”
“What is your idea of immortality?” Heavenly Note Sect asked again.
“To keep on living,” Jiang Hao pondered and said:
“From now into the future, as days and nights change, stars shift, and eras pass, to keep on living.”
“Are you constrained by the Heavenly Dao?” Heavenly Note Sect questioned further.
Her question left Jiang Hao silent.
Constrained?
Could one live unconstrained?
Coexisting with the Heavenly Dao has been considered immortal for eons, right?
Unable to answer, Jiang Hao was silent and Heavenly Note Sect sipped her tea, saying no more.
After a long silence, Jiang Hao felt as if he was about to understand something, yet he couldn’t grasp it.
Longevity didn’t seem to mean what it normally did.
The higher his realm became, the more he felt that this path had no end in sight.
Too vast.
However, Jiang Hao quickly composed himself and chose not to dwell on these thoughts.
“Senior, do you know of the Blood Prohibition Stone?” Jiang Hao inquired.
Heavenly Note Sect said, “A suppressive object with significant effects on all major races, most effective on beings with strong lifeblood.”
Strong lifeblood?
Jiang Hao understood why it was used; the lifeblood of the dragon race was extraordinary.
“The junior plans to make a trip to the North,” Jiang Hao spoke up.
Heavenly Note Sect wasn’t surprised, and casually replied, “To obtain this object to deal with the Ancestral Dragon’s Heart?”
“Indeed,” Jiang Hao nodded, sharing that he had found a way to suppress the Ancestral Dragon’s Heart.
Especially after bringing up the second seal, Heaven Lock.
Upon hearing this, Heavenly Note Sect raised an eyebrow and looked deeply at Jiang Hao, “You wish to become renowned in the world?”
“Can a single Heaven Lock make one renowned in the world?” Jiang Hao was surprised.
“Indeed,” Heavenly Note Sect flatly said, “Heaven Lock may not be powerful, but it can change the fate of all beings.”
“Even the people from the Heavenly Joy Pavilion can’t tolerate it?” Jiang Hao inquired.
As for Heaven Lock not being strong, that was true.
So far, Heaven Lock had only helped him to understand strength during battles.
Yet in other aspects, none could match Heaven Lock.
Innate talents, physique, it could not only steal, but also bestow.
This terrifying thing could subvert the entire cultivation world.
“They cannot tolerate it; Heaven Lock isn’t as simple as you think,” Heavenly Note Sect, picking up a teacup, said, “In the endless eons of the universe, there are always some who comprehend things beyond understanding.”
But in every era, the most powerful individuals will eradicate them.
The Saint Bandits sealed but did not kill them because the Human Emperor didn’t want Heaven Lock to disappear.
The emergence of Heaven Lock might not be without benefits for the universe; he wanted all such individuals to live.
As long as he was alive and confident in restraining these people.
Now many are breaking free from their seals and returning to the universe.
Only the Saint Bandits remain sealed. Do you know why?”
After pondering for a moment, Jiang Hao ventured a guess, “Because there has yet to appear someone who can suppress the Saint Bandits?”
Heavenly Note Sect didn’t reply, but from the look on her face, Jiang Hao felt he was right.
What kind of person would it take to suppress the Saint Bandits?
“Are the Saint Bandits really that strong?” Jiang Hao asked.
Heavenly Note Sect looked at Jiang Hao, “Is there anyone who can prevent you from using the Heaven Lock as you please?”
Jiang Hao had an epiphany.
Defeating the Saint Bandits might not be difficult, but the challenge lies in being able to restrain the changes and influence brought by Heaven Lock.
Those from ancient times knew the terror of Heaven Lock, and should a new Heaven Lock be discovered, it must not be allowed to survive.
After all, there was no longer a Human Emperor among them.
“What if the methods to cultivate Heaven Lock were widespread across the universe?” Jiang Hao asked.
He was referring to the cultivation method of Heaven Lock.
Heavenly Note Sect gave him a look.
Without a word, Jiang Hao couldn’t help feeling like she was regarding him as a fool.
Suddenly, Jiang Hao felt a surge of energy fluctuation from within his storage bag.
Looking inside, it was the Dragon Scroll that Heavenly Note Sect had brought back for him.
The third eggshell had finally been fully assimilated.
The inheritance should be appearing soon.
The first was the Emperor’s Sword Art, the second, the Dragon Transformation Art.
The third, he wasn’t sure whether it would be about the Human Emperor or the dragon race.
Then some text caught his eye.
Dragon Suppressing Technique.
At the sight of these three characters, Jiang Hao was somewhat surprised.
What did it mean?
He looked over it briefly and was somewhat shocked.
This was a technique that the Human Emperor had specifically developed to deal with the dragon race in his youth.
If he wasn’t mistaken, this was the technique referred to by ‘star’ as the one that could suppress the dragon race.
But wasn’t the dragon race’s inheritance in The End of All Things possession?
Why did this scroll also have it?
Jiang Hao fell silent.
After a long contemplation, he came up with a hypothesis.
The End of All Things never possessed the Book of Inheritance from the beginning to the end; he just wanted to use it to lure the dragon race to him.
The Book of Inheritance had always been within the Heavenly Extreme Dream Pearl used to suppress the secret realm.
Later, it was taken out and has since only been with him.
“So the inheritance of the dragon race has always been in my hands, not anywhere else.”
This sudden realization made Jiang Hao feel the fickleness of fate.
Now, he was only missing one item before he could go overseas.
This matter truly couldn’t be done by anyone else.
That’s fine, it was his own issue after all; there was no need to trouble others.
