Jiang Hao heaved a sigh of relief when he returned to his courtyard.

It was done.

He had found a way to leave a ring in the West.

He hoped Shangguan Qingsu could leave the ring at the right location.

After all, it was not easy to go out.

It would take a long time to chase after her. If she could activate the ring at the location of the clan, he could instantly go there.

However, she might not activate the golden ring. It was also possible that she might just abandon the ring.

In short, it was a risky move.

Jiang Hao sat down and began to study the Seven Forms of the Heavenly Blade.

He could not even understand the sixth and seventh forms, let alone learn them.

He had learned the fifth form, but its power depended on the person.

Some people could easily use it to slash others, but sometimes, it wouldn’t be able to harm someone with a lower cultivation realm than him.

It was a double-edged sword.

Jiang Hao didn’t think about anything else. He had done everything he could. He would wait patiently for things to happen on their own.

The most recent issue was Gui’s matter.

Gui and the others might be arriving soon.

The next day, Bi Zhu followed Kendo to the front of the Heavenly Note Sect.

They all felt rather emotional.

Kendo was nostalgic for this place, while Bi Zhu lamented her fate.

“This sect is not ordinary. Although it doesn’t feel like anything extraordinary, it has been through a lot and is still standing tall. Why didn’t anyone come here to establish an immortal sect back then?” Kendo smiled.

“The immortal sect might not be able to avoid it in time,” Bi Zhu said.

Kendo laughed out loud.

Although his cultivation realm was high, he rarely cared about the outside world. He had only recently set foot in the South.

He had heard some rumors about it.

The immortal sect could not withstand these things.

Especially when one’s cultivation realm was high, there would always be people who were bold enough to do something.

In the end, the entire sect would be destroyed.

“Senior, have you been to the Heavenly Note Sect before? Isn’t it more convenient for us to find the Longevity Cursed Tree?” Bi Zhu asked.

Kendo smiled. “You’re the one with the spirit stones. I’ll do whatever you say.”

“Senior, do you think anyone in the South is your match?” she asked.

“At a glance… no,” Kendo said.

“In reality?” Bi Zhu asked.

“Hard to say.” Kendo thought for a moment. “There are some amazing things in the South. There’s a chance that powerful experts might be present. There might be hidden powerful people. However, in the four regions, there aren’t many who can compete with me.”

“Who is the strongest person in this world?” Bi Zhu asked.

She didn’t know, but she had to ask.

“I don’t know.” Kendo shook his head. “I don’t think anyone is that powerful. Geniuses are everywhere, but it’s hard to say who’s the strongest.”

“Is it like this in every era?” Bi Zhu was slightly disappointed.

“Of course not. The era of the Human Emperor is undoubtedly the most extraordinary. No one could compete with him. There were countless experts in that era, but they were still suppressed by him.”

He walked to the front of the Heavenly Note Sect’s formation.

At that moment, someone came to ask for her identity, and Bi Zhu settled it immediately.

Then, the three of them walked inside.

“What about other times?” Bi Zhu asked.

Kendo thought for a moment. “There was also someone who was as powerful as the Human Emperor. Although it was just the beginning, he was powerful.”

“Who was it?” Bi Zhu’s eyes lit up.

“He was a strong cultivator from the Astronomical Academy, Gu Jin,” said Kendo. “He was very powerful. He walked from the West to the East. He passed through the Bright Moon Sect, the Clear Sky School, and then to the Mountain Sea Sword Sect in the North. He defeated the expert from the Mountain Sea Sword Sect. It was said that the flames burned the sky and melted the Sword God’s sword. It was an extraordinary war.”

“Is Gu Jin that strong?” Bi Zhu asked.

She recalled how respectful the noodle shop chef had been to that young man who was supposed to be Gu Jin.

He was so close to becoming a legend.

“What happened after that?” Bi Zhu asked excitedly. “Where is he now?”

“I don’t know.” Kendo shrugged. “I heard that he went missing. Anyway, after leaving the North, there was no more news of him. Some people from the Mountain Sea Sword Sect say that he was injured by the Sword God and died in the dark.”

“Really?” Bi Zhu said in disbelief.

If it were true, wouldn’t the Sword God be the most powerful person in existence?

“The rumor must be fake. I’ve met the Sword God before. He just shook his head and denied everything,” said Kendo.

“Senior, you’re really amazing. You even met the Sword God?” Bi Zhu asked in admiration.

At that moment, they arrived at the mines.

Bi Zhu had already arranged everything, so they could go in directly.

She just needed to get someone to check.

The Heavenly Note Sect was alright. They could go in as long as they had enough spirit stones.

After the inspection, Bi Zhu followed the people from the mines all the way inside.

“When are you planning to leave?” Kendo asked.

The sooner, the better. However, she thought about it for a moment. “Senior, do you want to stay here longer? I can inform them about it when the time comes.”

“It’s not that I want to stay as such… It’s better for us both to stay. The strong won’t compromise easily. So, it’s better not to rush,” said Kendo. “I don’t think that I’m that strong. I don’t have an advantage against the Longevity Cursed Tree. It’s impossible for Gu Changsheng to agree to communicate with us immediately. It might take some time. However, you don’t have to worry. Even if I’m no match for him, I have plenty of time to deal with him.”

“Is it that extreme?” Bi Zhu found it hard to believe.

After a long time, Kendo first saw a huge tree.

There was a black aura on the tree, and the surrounding space was somewhat distorted.

Beside the tree was a black river that led to some unknown place.

“This is the Longevity Cursed Tree? It’s a little… strange. I didn’t see what it was connected to,” said Kendo.

The moment Bi Zhu saw the tree, she felt a sense of familiarity.

For a moment, she felt that her cultivation had improved. She would have improved by leaps and bounds if she cultivated under that tree.

This was a good place.

Qiao Yi did not feel anything.

She only felt that the tree was so big that it was a wonder.

“Let’s go in. Then, we’ll see if we can communicate. If we can’t, we’ll have to fight,” said Kendo.

Bi Zhu nodded. She felt a little nervous.

However, she could understand why the other party was looking for her.

They were somewhat similar. If the person wanted to replace her, they could do so conveniently.

“Senior, do you think you can handle it?” asked Bi Zhu. “I’m still young. Why do I have to encounter something so terrifying?”

Kendo looked at Bi Zhu. “Has anyone ever told you that you ask a lot of questions?”
