‘Build a house?’

Jiang Hao was puzzled.

However, seeing all the people building their houses, he decided to follow suit and build one too beside the scholarly-looking man.

Hong Yuye remained silent. A tea table had appeared out of nowhere.

Jiang Hao brewed a pot of tea for her. It was the last batch of tea.

After that, he started building a house. He initially planned to build a rain pavilion. However, seeing others build something sturdy, he decided to build a better one.

Fortunately, none of these people seemed to want to make a move against him.

“Friend, which sect do you belong to?” asked the scholarly-looking man. “I am from the Astronomical Academy.”

“I’m Smiling San Sheng,” said Jiang Hao.

Saying so, he continued building the house.

“Friend, who are you looking for here?” asked the scholar.

At that moment, Jiang Hao glanced at the two women. Their faces changed when he told the man that his name was “Smiling San Sheng.” It seemed they Imew people from the Great Thousand God Sect.

“An old man,” Jiang Hao said.

In truth, he had no idea if the founder of the Divine Corpse Sect was old or young. He didn’t even know if they were a man or a woman.

The scholar didn’t say much and gazed at the sky. “It’s going to rain soon.

Friend, you better hurry.”

Jiang Hao thanked him and increased his speed.

After a while, he finished constructing a wooden house. It was slightly better than other people’s houses. He had some experience in building houses, after all.

Soon, thunder rumbled in the sky.

“It’s about to rain,” said the scholar as he entered his house and closed the door. Everyone else did the same.

Jiang Hao glanced at Hong Yuye. Since she didn’t react at all, he did the same as the others.

Moments later, it thundered in full blast outside.

Jiang Hao looked up at the ceiling. Though he couldn’t see outside, he felt that the thunderstorm was quite fierce.

Soon, drops of water fell on the thatched roof.

The sound grew louder.

Heavy rain poured down.

Jiang Hao felt a peculiar aura. It was as if the outside was entirely covered by it.

“Senior, what is that?” he asked the person sipping tea beside him.

“The aura of the Corpse Realm,” Hong Yuye said.

“What happens if the rain touches us?” Jiang Hao asked.

“We’ll end up like the four individuals you met before.” Hong Yuye sipped her tea.

Suddenly, he heard the sound of waves again. This time, it felt as though the waves had surged closer.

“It’s getting closer. Find a place to take shelter from this heavy rain! ” said a loud voice from outside.

Jiang Hao’s eyes narrowed. He recognized the voice. They were the three people from before.

“There’s a house here. Let’s ask the people inside for shelter,” said a woman’s voice.

Thump! Thump!

Someone was knocking on Jiang Hao’s door.

“Friend, please open the door and let us in. We’ll reward you generously,” said the middle-aged man from before.

Jiang Hao didn’t respond.

Soon, the knocking began again.

After hesitating for a moment, he said, “Why are you knocking, Friend?” “Please. We need shelter from the rain,” came the reply from outside.

“Where’s the seawater now?” Jiang Hao asked.

He could now hear someone knocking on the next door, but no one responded.

“It’s almost at the house,” said the voice from outside.

Jiang Hao sensed it. The seawater was rising.

Soon, he heard other sounds from the sea, making him feel uneasy.

“What’s on the sea surface?” Jiang Hao asked.

“There’s a large ship.”

“What’s on the ship?”

“I don’t know. I can’t see it clearly. The rain is too heavy. If you open the door, you can see for yourself.” “Is there anything else besides the ship?” Jiang Hao felt strange.

“Please… there’s a woman beside me.”

“A woman?”

“Yes. A woman with two feet, two hands, and two eyes…”

Jiang Hao chuckled. “Oh really? That’s quite a coincidence. I have someone similar here.”

Hong Yuye, who had been holding her teacup, paused for a moment and then turned to look at him.

Jiang Hao felt a chill surrounding him.

Fortunately, it quickly vanished. It was because he had responded as Smiling San Sheng. Naturally, he had to respond to the people even if it meant offending her.

Luckily, nothing happened.

He was curious about the ship outside.

“The ship is coming! It’s going to collide with the house. Run!” cried someone. The people fled.

Jiang Hao also felt a surge of impact.

He gripped the Heavenly Blade. In case of danger, he would use it to pave the way and then connect to the sub-ring outside to leave this place.

However, just as the ship reached the wooden house, everything came to a halt. It was as though the ship had stopped right in front of them.

An inexplicable oppressive aura accompanied it.

“Are you here to find me?” said a voice from a distance.

Jiang Hao was surprised.

If he wasn’t mistaken, this should be the founder of the Divine Corpse Sect.

Such a person was entirely beyond his ability to confront.

He looked at Hong Yuye.

She seemed indifferent. That made Jiang Hao feel a bit at ease.

“The rain has stopped. You can come out now,” said the voice of an old man.

Jiang Hao didn’t rush to go out but waited for the others.

As expected, the scholarly-looking man was the first to open his door.

Following him was the voice of the ones from the Divine Corpse Sect, the Great Thousand God Sect, and finally, the two unknown individuals.

Jiang Hao made sure they were all right before opening the door.

He saw a large ship outside. Its hull was gray and looked ancient.

The person at the helm seemed like an old man who had weathered storms at sea for years.

The rain had stopped, and the people from before had disappeared somewhere.

Meanwhile, the tide had risen almost to the front door.

At the bow of the ship sat a white-haired old man. He looked down at the people below and nodded toward each of them. “Divine Corpse Sect, Great Thousand God Sect, The End of All Things, and the Astronomical Academy.”

Finally, he looked at Jiang Hao and frowned. “Middle stage of the Golden Core Realm?”

Jiang Hao respectfully bowed.

He felt that the man’s words were strange. It had a certain implication between the lines.

However, he didn’t pay too much attention to it. Whether the other party could see through his false cultivation realm or not was of no concern to him.

“Come up. Guests are always welcome.” The old man smiled.

Seeing everyone else fly up, Jiang Hao also rode his sword up.

Hong Yuye landed on the deck with him.

“Are you really the founder?” The two from the Divine Corpse Sect looked at the old man before them in disbelief.

The old man didn’t answer them. He chuckled. “Call me Old Man Corpse Sea. I can’t leave this place anymore.”

“Senior, we came here to seek some guidance,” said the woman from the Great Thousand God Sect.

“You sought me out not to gain something but to get some answers. I won’t answer just anyone’s question,” said the Old Man Clarity • Remove the Corpse Sea as she sat at the ship’s bow and smiled softly. “What capabilities do you have?”

He looked at the two people who had fallen silent.

He pointed toward the sea. “How about this? I found a corpse there some time ago. You can try attacking it. Based on the kind of damage you can inflict, I’ll decide how many questions I’ll answer for you..”
