Whether it was a failure or a success, she needed to know before she decided to leave.

However, at that moment, a sword intent soared into the sky.

It then disappeared without a trace.

Bi Zhu was somewhat surprised. She hadn’t expected the Xuanyuan Sword to make a move.

As various changes emerged, Zheng Shijiu and his team found the number of demons dwindling.

“It’s not the demons that are retreating. It’s the forest itself!” Shi Jiang was shocked.

The forest had expanded rapidly just a while ago, but it had stopped and was now receding.

That could only mean that there was some major change happening within. The only person who had entered the forest was Senior Brother Jiang Hao.

“Was it really him?”

It wasn’t just her. Everyone else was in disbelief.

The danger here was apparent, yet he had charged straight into the depths.

This left them puzzled.

Perhaps someone like that wasn’t quite suitable to be in a demonic sect.

Above the vast sea, Jiang Hao saw a large platform emerging from the water.

It appeared after the four pillars were charged.

A red essence attached to the pillars and balanced them.

‘So, this is how they balance the power of the pillars.’ Jiang Hao sighed and leaped onto the platform.

At that moment, he held the Immortal Mountain Sea Shield in his left hand and grasped the Primordial Heavenly Blade in his right.

The golden ring hovered around him, and the Nine Heavens Battle Armor seemed to merge together.

A purple aura enveloped him.

All the powers were resisting the pressure from the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl.

Jiang Hao stood on the platform and stared at the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl. He raised his shield and took out the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl.

He didn’t know exactly how to use it, but the moment the pearl appeared, he could feel the seal becoming stronger.

The Earth Extreme Silent Pearl was now rapidly shrinking.

Jiang Hao stood on the platform and saw everything. He had brought out all his divine items. He hoped they would protect him while he tried to suppress the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl.

He was also prepared to flee. If nothing worked, he would escape to the Corpse Realm.

High above in the heavens, the power of the stars descended, and a sword intent also hovered in the sky. An aura pressed down on everything. It was the Xuanyuan Sword that carried the aura of the Grand Earth Emperor.

Xuanyuan Tai provided assistance via the sword as well.

At that moment, the power of the seal erupted and suppressed the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl.

As Jiang Hao waited as the power of the seal became stronger. The pearl went from the size of a star to that of a mountain peak and gradually shrunk to the size of a stone.

At that point, Jiang Hao had lost track of how long he had been waiting.

Had it been three days or ten?

His gaze remained fixated on the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl as he waited for the perfect opportunity.

As time passed, Jiang Hao’s eyes were fixed only on the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl.

At some point, the pearl had shrunk to the size of a small bead that could fit into his palm. Yet, he waited.

It wasn’t enough. His intervention now would not affect it.

He couldn’t seal something that was already so powerful. He could only seal something that was already sealed enough.

This had been true for both the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl and the Nine Nether.

All he could do was wait.

After a long time, the four supporting pillars seemed to weaken. They showed signs of collapse.

The Earth Extreme Silent Pearl shrunk to the ultimate size.

At that point, his power moved.

His divine ability, the Reappearance of the Hidden Spirit, appeared.

He swallowed pills that enhanced his cultivation and herbs that replenished his spiritual energy.

He activated the Mountain Sea Seal and the Universe in a Palm.

In an instant, the purple aura surged toward the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl.

This was his only chance. If he failed, everything would be finished.

At the Astronomical Academy, Jing Dajiang and others mobilized the academy’s power to support the four pillars.

However, after half a month, their power was almost depleted.

Although there were people on the opposite side balancing the power, their resources were limited.

At most, it would hold for half a day.

They would stop when their strength was exhausted, and then the great eruption would be inevitable.

Half a month passed. Although they had made many preparations, the outcome was unpredictable.

“Elder, why do you blindly believe the people on the other side?” someone asked.

Jing Dajiang sneered. “How could I trust them? I trust someone else.” ‘What about the title of the book?” the white-haired elder asked.

“It’s not just a book title. It’s a code. Behind that code is someone we can’t refuse.” Jing Dajiang sighed. “Since this code has appeared, it means that we can trust the person behind it.” The crowd was puzzled.

But Jing Dajiang didn’t say much.

He just hoped for a change.

At the Bright Moon Sect, the forces mobilized by the Ancient One and others were also depleting, and the suppression had reached its limit.

It wouldn’t be long before the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl would erupt.

So, he didn’t understand the use of this temporary relief.

Around him, endless stars were spinning, but there were no signs of any change.

They could only wait till the final moment.

After a long time, he felt like this was the end, but nothing happened.

Just as the power began to deplete, the Ancient One suddenly saw a flash of purple light rushing into the stars.

This purple light was hard to capture, and it quickly dissipated. Along with it dissipated the power of the four pillars.

They were already struggling to hold on. However, there was no eruption.

“Is it him?”

The purple aura that had helped the Bright Moon Sect before.

Xu Bai looked up from the foot of the mountain. He knew that discussions were going on, and efforts were being made.

Half a month had passed. The power of the stars had been activated and was now gone.

“It seems to have succeeded.”

If it failed, something would have happened. It wouldn’t have been so quiet.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

In times of great change, no sect benefitted.

Maintaining the status quo might not be the best, but it was what most people hoped for.

With a light chuckle, he turned and left.

“Good morning, Senior Brother Xu,” said a junior as she greeted him respectfully. She was rushing with some spirit herbs in her hands.

Xu Bai nodded and watched her leave.

Many things had come to pass.

Everything seemed quiet and peaceful now, but they had averted a huge crisis just moments ago.

This was what he knew now. Perhaps there had been other calamities that had been handled just as quietly that he didn’t know about.

In Devil’s Den, the forest had completely vanished.

This surprised Zheng Shijiu and the others.

The forest that had made them feel so powerless was gone.

There was only one person who had dared to go in. Was this all thanks to Senior Brother Jiang Hao?

A few of them found it hard to believe. How could that be possible?

They were perplexed as Jiang Hao appeared in front of them.

He looked somewhat pale.

Xiao Li was the first to rush to him. “Senior Brother Jiang, are you alright?”

“I’m fine,” said Jiang Hao.

He had just appeared from inside the forest.

The seal had been successful, and the whole place was about to be sealed, so he had to come out.

He was seriously injured. He needed to return to his house quickly.

Hong Yuye had left for some unknown reason. By the time he had regained his senses, she was nowhere to be seen.

Perhaps, he had been safe because of her.

“Let’s leave from here. There seems to be a shadow in the depths. Maybe something else is inside,” Jiang Hao said.

He couldn’t take credit for the achievements here.

The Heavenly Note Sect didn’t know the seriousness of the situation. So, the achievement, even if it was credited to him, wouldn’t be too unbelievable. Everyone wanted to leave this place as soon as possible, so no one objected.

They headed out immediately.

Jiang Hao didn’t linger there. He returned to his residence and began to heal himself.

Many days later, around early July, Jiang Hao finally opened his eyes.

Fortunately, he had various divine abilities on him. Otherwise, his recovery wouldn’t have been so easy.

At that moment, he took out a purple bead from his storage treasure.

There was a small, green pearl inside the bead.

It was the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl. It had almost killed him.

He now had both the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl and the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl.

I’v’1ayDe m tne ruture, tnese two pearls would Kill mm, Dut ror now, all ne coula do was continue to seal them.

He also needed to understand the things connected to this pearl. Everything had happened too quickly for him to take the time to appraise the pearl. Only now he found the time to appraise it after everything was sorted..
