Chapter 1566: Chapter 1336: Hai Luo Wants to See His King_2
Upon hearing the words, the others were all somewhat astonished.
When kings clash.
What kind of realm is that?
But they were quite anticipative.
“Let’s not concern ourselves with that realm for the moment, has any other power interfered with the Abyssal Sea?” a muffled voice came through.
He looked towards Hideki Momaki.
“There shouldn’t be, they are quite busy too,” Hideki Momaki spoke.
Naturally, he was referring to The End of All Things.
“There’s news from the West that to be an enemy of Gu Jin is to be an enemy of the Western Astronomical Academy,” Meng Lanling said.
“We have no need to be enemies with Gu Jin, as for Heaven Lock…” the deep voice carried a hint of wariness.
“There’s no need to deal with them for now,” said a voice aged with time:
“An existence like Gu Jin is not something we can handle.”
“Don’t bother with it, and moreover, it’s up to those who have reached the apex of strength to handle it.
“It won’t affect us for the time being.”
The others nodded.
“Mu Longyu had gone to the southern region, not sure who he’s looking for, but he should bring back some news,” Meng Lanling said.
Hideki Momaki pondered for a moment before asking, “How many geniuses do you think there are in the world today?”
“Gu Jin, the first to laugh three times?”
“The invincible Gu Jin?”
Listening to their discussion.
Hideki Momaki laughed and said, “There might be another person.”
“Who?” the low voice asked.
Hideki Momaki looked at the people and said:
“At the pinnacle of immortals, unmatched in the world.”
Upon hearing the words, the others were all somewhat astonished.
“You’ll know his name later,” Hideki Momaki didn’t disclose everything.
Some secrets are better kept to oneself, for they make one stronger than the rest.
——
As time passed, everyone was engaged in their own matters.
The Saint Bandits searched everywhere, but came up empty-handed.
The dragon race tried to communicate with the Ancestral Land, but were constantly blocked by a powerful force.
The End of All Things sought the fourth fierce beast, but found no trace of it.
Everyone had their own issues to deal with.
With the advent of the great era, no one wanted to fight just yet.
The eruption of the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl and the emergence of Heaven Lock made everyone realize that this great era was extraordinary.
Becoming stronger was the only path.
Three months later.
In early September.
Jiang Hao, living his mundane life, discovered that the stone pieces were vibrating.
It was a gathering.
That night.
Jiang Hao was quite anticipative.
Because of Heaven Lock’s emergence, he still didn’t know the reactions of the various regions; a gathering would give him a good overview of the situation.
That night.
Jiang Hao successfully entered the meeting.
But as soon as he entered, he realized that Senior Dan Yuan was not present.
This had happened before, but usually, a meeting like this would only be called if there was a mission.
For instance, the previous Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment incident.
And it seemed there was no mission this time.
“I initiated it,” the fairy guard Gui took it upon herself to speak up.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Hao thought to himself that the fairy guard Gui was indeed very important.
Without Senior Dan Yuan, the meeting went straight to the transaction phase.
The transactions were as before, all that needed to be done had been completed.
Then they began to discuss the matters around them.
Jiang Hao felt that the fairy guard Gui was here for this purpose.
The others naturally thought the same.
“I was overseas, and then I saw Gu Jin seal the Ancestral Dragon, and I also saw Gu Jin use Heaven Lock on the Ancestral Dragon,” the fairy guard Gui looked towards Jing as she spoke.
The others did as well.
Although there was no evidence, everyone felt that Jing must be related to the matter.
After all, the Ancient and Modern Book was brought out by Jing.
Why are you all looking at me? Jiang Hao couldn’t help feeling helpless inside.
After pondering for a moment, he slowly said, “Gu Jin cannot appear casually.”
“Is Senior Gu really still alive?” Zhang asked immediately.
Jiang Hao nodded slightly, but did not elaborate much.
Letting them know he had some connection with Gu Jin and that Gu Jin was still alive was enough.
“Then… who died?” the fairy guard Gui hesitated before finally asking.
“The first of Gu Jin,” Jiang Hao replied.
Huh?
The crowd was puzzled.
Jiang Hao knew what they were wondering about.
Originally, when Gu Jin was mentioned during the ascension, the name of Gu Jin was used to conceal the truth, leading some to believe that Gu Jin was the same person.
Now by telling them that Gu Jin is still alive, but the first of Gu Jin, the one who laugh three times, has died.
They were naturally puzzled.
But Jiang Hao did not explain.
Since he didn’t know how to explain, he let them think whatever they wanted.
Whatever they thought up, that was the answer.
Nobody delved too deep into it, and Liu spoke,
“The appearance of Heaven Lock has caused some unease among overseas races, yet some powerhouses feel that Gu Jin doesn’t share the grand vision of the Saint Bandits, so fundamentally it hasn’t made much impact,”
Indeed this was true, but the people of the Saint Bandits didn’t think so; they were always searching.
“Or perhaps waiting for that person to find them,” Jing paused before adding, “However, I’ve heard that the existence of Heaven Lock could hasten the Saint Bandits’ escape from the seal.”
Jiang Hao, for one, did not know this.
Although the Saint Bandits indeed had reached out to him, he had not accepted anything.
He didn’t know whether this would hasten the other party’s escape.
“Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment gained a tremendous opportunity, she might ascend in a few decades,” said the fairy guard Zhang.
She paused before continuing,
“Regarding Gu Jin, the Western Astronomical Academy’s stance hasn’t changed.”
“Gu Jin is a great senior of the Western Astronomical Academy, being enemies with Gu Jin means being enemies with the academy,”
“This was stated by the headmaster of the academy himself.”
Jiang Hao sighed internally.
It seemed he hadn’t managed to break away from the Western Astronomical Academy.
It made him yearn for the Shangguan family.
If everyone were like the Shangguan family, it would be good for everyone.
“By the way, someone wants to find the strong from The End of All Things,” Jing paused before saying, “Better if in the southern region.”
“Currently, that would only be Heavenly King Taomu,” Liu spoke.
Jiang Hao paused before saying, “Maybe in a few years, people from The End of All Things will head to the Immortal Gazing Platform.”
“The Southern Immortal Gazing Platform?” Jing asked.
Jiang Hao nodded.
He still did not know how to broach the subject of the Immortal Gazing Platform, not expecting there actually were people in the south looking for The End of All Things.
It was just unclear who they were.
Afterward, they spoke of various sightings, but nothing of importance.
It seemed everyone was curious about matters related to Gu Jin.
After a long discussion, the gathering finally dispersed.
Jiang Hao opened his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief.
The emergence of Heaven Lock, though it had triggered quite a few events, was not too significant for now.
As for everything else, it was quite normal.
It was just the Western Astronomical Academy that was being persistent and difficult to shake off.
He shook his head and sighed.
Jiang Hao began to record this meeting.
Although there was nothing worthwhile, he couldn’t let go of the habit.
In the following days, Jiang Hao went about his business as usual, tending to spirit herbs and explaining the methods of cultivation to Cheng Chou.
He was still at the early stage of the Golden Core Realm.
The cultivation levels of others were rising rapidly.
Some even claimed they would soon set off on treasure seeking adventures.
Jiang Hao thought it would be good to find a map for them.
Should they head overseas or to the North?
Let’s split up.
Chu Chuan to the East, pulling the earth off the pedestal; the spirit beast and the small girl to seek treasures overseas; Mu Longyu to the West for the supreme Buddhist law; Lin Zhi… wasn’t in a hurry to venture out.
As for Ice Spirit Clan, let her do as she pleases.
Now all that was missing was the treasure map.
Meanwhile, Jiang Hao searched for the map while treasuring his days.
Two years later.
In September, the Immortality Peach Tree bore fruit once again.
Jiang Hao glanced at the panel; he was now eighty-seven years old.
His heart was ever more tranquil.
In these two years, nothing had happened.
The only thing to consider was that his junior brother Han Ming seemed to be advancing again, at an unbelievable speed.
A century to Return to Void was now certain.
Four hundred years to ascend.
But on this day, he heard that someone overseas was seeking an audience with Heavenly King Hai Luo.
The noise was so loud that Jiang Hao heard it.
This sparked his curiosity.
Who was looking for Hai Luo?
But he didn’t dwell on it.
Lawless Tower.
Hai Luo met with the elder.
At that moment, the elder said with a worried expression, “Heavenly King, something big has happened, something really big.”
Upon seeing the elder, Heavenly King Hai Luo’s expression darkened instantly.
“Is it the matter I tasked you with?” he inquired.
The elder nodded, “Yes, yes, it’s gone, vanished, without a trace.”
Hearing this, Heavenly King Hai Luo stood frozen, then…
Boom!
He struck the prison cell forcefully and bellowed, “I want to see him, I want to see him!
Have him come see me, have him come see me!
Let me see him, whatever you want to know, I can tell you all!”
Mi Lingyue and others were somewhat shocked.
Hai Luo wanted to see his king.
