Seeing the figure in red and white, Jiang Hao breathed a sigh of relief.
With her arrival, things would become much easier.
Even if Hong Yuye couldn’t do much, things wouldn’t be as challenging.
There was still some time left before the eruption of the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl. He could only rely on others this time to get involved.
Gu Jin could also be released from his trap to help. He could perhaps even enter the Sea Fog Cave to find the Saint Bandits. Since they could cause so much chaos among the other races, they must still have significant influence.
However, all those were options for when there was no other way.
And finally, he could try to enter the Corpse Realm if nothing worked. But the result would be unpredictable.
Setting aside his thoughts, Jiang Hao respectfully greeted Hong Yuye. “Greetings, Senior.”
At this moment, Hong Yuye stood under a tree and looked into the depths of the forest. She seemed entirely unaware of Jiang Hao’s presence. She didn’t even pay attention to his greeting.
Her waist-length hair fluttered in the breeze, and her face showed no emotions whatsoever.
After a short while, Jiang Hao finally heard her speak.
“Do you want to go deeper?” she asked.
“I naturally don’t have such strength,” Jiang Hao said truthfully. “Are you interested in that place, Senior?
Hong Yuye turned her gaze toward Jiang Hao and smiled. “Do you want me to help you?”
“When the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl erupts, it will affect your flower too, Senior. I only wish to serve you better,” Jiang Hao said as he bowed his head.
“What about my September Spring?” Hong Yuye asked.
“I have it. I bought it already,” Jiang Hao said.
“You aren’t this active when everything is fine,” Hong Yuye chuckled.
“Senior jests. At that time, the preparations were incomplete,” Jiang Hao said.
“I’ll help you. What are you willing to offer?” Hong Yuye smiled.
Jiang Hao bowed respectfully. “I am willing to go through hell and high water for you, Senior.”
He didn’t have a choice. Whether Hong Yuye helped him or not, he would anyway go through hell and high water. So, he was only being honest.
Hong Yuye looked carefully at the person in front of her and finally stepped deeper into the forest. Jiang Hao quickly followed.
As they moved deeper, the distortions became more severe. This was the influence brought about by the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl.
It was entirely silent here. The place was devoid of any sound or trace of flesh and blood.
Jiang Hao felt he couldn’t come here alone. Even if he could resist the distortions here, his perception had already been affected.
However, as Hong Yuye walked ahead, the influence didn’t seem to affect her at all.
After a while, a path appeared. The pathway was paved with stones and led to a collapsing gate. The gate led underground.
realized it bore some resemblance to the entrance of the ruin where
he had found the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl.
The gate was open at that moment. Although the surroundings were distorted, it couldn’t affect it.
“Here it is.” Hong Yuye turned back to Jiang Hao. “Are you sure you want to go
Jiang Hao nodded.
For now, at least, he had to go in and assess the situation. However, Hong Yuye might not necessarily follow him inside such an unlucky place.
Fortunately, she continued forward, and Jiang Hao felt relieved. Not everyone would care about the eruption of the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl. Someone would come forward for such a major event. There was no need for him to take the risk.
If possible, Jiang Hao also wanted to escape because this situation exceeded his abilities by far.
After entering the gate, Jiang Hao felt a slight chill but nothing else. There were no distortions or blood remnants. It felt like entering a cold and abandoned underground basement.
The stairs continued downward without an end.
Jiang Hao walked beside Hong Yuye. He lit a flame to light their way. Their footsteps echoed steadily in the passageway.
“Do you know how the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl was sealed?” Hong Yuye suddenly asked.
“I don’t know…” Jiang Hao shook his head. He couldn’t possibly know such a thing.
“It was sealed using the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl,” Hong Yuye said as they walked. “The Earth Extreme Silent Pearl targets flesh and blood, while the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl originated from blood itself. Logically, it would have been the best source of nutrients for the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl. Unfortunately, it couldn’t swallow it and was instead suppressed by it. By using the seal that suppressed the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl, it could be used to suppress the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl. Later, when the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl was taken away, the great luck dissipated, and the situation became precarious.”
Jiang Hao was astonished. “Are you saying that when the Heavenly Fate
Misfortune Pearl left its seal, it set a precedent for the appearance of the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl?”
Hong Yuye glanced at him. “Is that so surprising? Usually, such ominous things would mutually suppress each other. That’s how they can be sealed better.”
Jiang Hao couldn’t understand it. Did his entry into the Blood Pool have little effect after all?
He asked her about that.
“Not exactly. The Earth Extreme Silent Pearl is still sealed. It can’t become active and needs a lot of time to break the seal. However, your appearance made it activate before its time.”
“Why?” Jiang Hao was puzzled. He had only taken a glance.
Hong Yuye looked intently at Jiang Hao but didn’t say anything. This only made him more curious, but he didn’t press her further.
As they continued, Jiang Hao saw that the place was indeed similar to where he had found the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl. However, it seemed they were heading deeper towards the depths.
After a long time, Jiang Hao had walked a considerable distance and landed on a sandy beach littered with bones. In front of the beach, there was an endless sea, and on the sea rested a small boat that seemed to have been there for a long time.
Hong Yuye stepped onto the boat, and Jiang Hao followed suit. Then, the boat propelled outward.
The seawater was calm, and Jiang Hao felt a bit nervous, but he didn’t hesitate. Since entering, all his perceptive abilities had disappeared, and he felt like an ordinary person.
The Hong Meng Heart Sutra within his body was operating frantically.
The Immortal Mountain Sea Shield faintly vibrated. The Primordial Heavenly Blade’s intent gradually manifested. The nine rings trembled slightly. The Nine Heavens Battle Armor seemed to be merging into one.
Everything indicated to him that his life was in danger here.
After a while, Jiang Hao put down the oar in his hand and looked ahead.
Directly ahead was an immensely gigantic star. It made him feel like an ant standing before a colossal elephant. The sense of powerlessness once again overwhelmed his entire body.
Around the colossal star stood four pillars. The star was leaning towards the left rear pillar. It was seemingly about to push it down. The moment it was toppled might be its moment of freedom.
These four pillars connected into the high sky, and their light had dimmed. They seemed as though they had nothing left to be able to suppress the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl.
“In about three months, the northern pillar will collapse,” Hong Yuye said, as she looked at Jiang Hao. “You have three months left. After three months…” She didn’t continue, but the consequences were self-evident.
Jiang Hao lowered his head. Three months, and he couldn’t even use his strength now. How could he seal something like this?
“Senior, do you have a way?” he asked.
Since Hong Yuye brought him here, it meant there was still a way.
“There is a way,” Hong Yuye said as she gazed at the four pillars. “As long as we can restore the power to the four pillars and then use the blessing of the mountains, rivers, and great fortune to suppress it, it will work..”
