Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

Chapter 1299: My New Brother Is Such A Disappointment. I Still Have To Rely On My Sister-In-Law

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Under the night sky, Mr. Tao was quite shocked.

He understood why Senior Dan Yuan had only mentioned the forty-nine-day cycle and did not bring up the eighty-one-day cycle. It was simply beyond the reach of ordinary cultivators.

“When can this gap be closed?” Mr. Tao asked.

Chi Tian thought for a moment and said, “It’s hard to say. It all depends on your comprehension of the Dao. If we measure it by realm, it can be balanced before reaching the Heavenly Immortal Realm. In other words, the advantage of the eighty-one-day cycle only exists during the True Immortal Realm. So, it’s not something you must pursue. It just makes the treasure a bit stronger. Doing it will put you on par with those two. Otherwise, it doesn’t really affect you or the treasure much.

“After all, regardless of whether the other party has reached the eighty-first day or not, those who can do it have their own unique talent. You won’t be their match in the same realm. Whether you do it or not, you won’t be able to compete with them.”

Mr. Tao nodded. It made sense.

There was no need to compare to others.

One should act according to one’s capacity.

What they sought was not momentary glory but to continue forward, as far as possible. Currently, being able to protect themselves in a relatively safe environment was enough. The rest would come gradually.

“Senior, have you heard any news about the Dragon Clan lately?” Mr. Tao asked.

The Great Era was about to arrive, and the Dragon Clan would also return. They display their might sooner or later.

However, there had been no accurate information from overseas so far.

It made him quite curious.

“I’m not very familiar with the Dragon Clan.” Chi Tian thought for a moment and said, “But you have to be careful. They will definitely go to the location of the Ancestral Dragon’s Heart. That is the source of the Ancestral Dragon’s power. No dragon will give that up.”

“Then, why didn’t you go there, Senior?” Tang Ya asked.

” “I can’t take it, and I’m not interested,” Chi Tian said with a mysterious smile.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

He was indeed not interested in the Ancestral Dragon’s Heart.

He was also not interested in any female dragons.

Many people in the Dragon Clan believed themselves to be inherently noble and even wanted to rejoin the Dragon Clan. But he did not.

To him, there was no significant difference between dragons and humans.

In fact, he preferred humans.

He was walking his own path and did not want to be influenced by the dragon clan.

When they return, he would rather avoid them.

Otherwise, they might claim that, as a member of the Dragon Clan, he should resolve their issues and fight for their future.

He believed that such an ancient and conservative race would certainly think this way.

If not, someone must have spread such slander about the Dragon Clan and made him believe that.

He could not touch the Ancestral Dragon’s Heart. If he did, they would find him no matter where he was.

They would even follow him to the ends of the earth.

Although he was not afraid, it would be a loss if it affected the ladies he cared about in the Jade Cloud Pavilion.

“What will the Dragon Clan do when they come?” Tang Ya asked.

Chi Tian shrugged. “You’ll have to ask them about that. A few days ago, I heard dragon roars from the sea near the Jade Cloud Pavilion, as if they were calling for their kin. Even the Black Dragons have awakened. It’s better if you keep an ear out for the roars nearby. If you record them and let me listen to them, I’ll translate them for you.”

“Alright.” Mr. Tao Nodded. “Then, Senior, please go ahead and rest.”

Chi Tian laughed heartily. “Mr. Tao, you do understand me. My new brother is such a disappointment. I still have to rely on my sister-in-law.”

…

In the Blood Pool, Jiang Hao stood calmly.

This time, he was more attuned to the fluctuations of the pool’s power.

It was much easier to control his senses, especially after becoming an immortal.

“Did you use my identity when you became an immortal?” asked Gu Jin.

“Yes, I did.” Jiang Hao nodded.

“Five Demons didn’t come for me?” Gu Jin Tian asked.

Jiang Hao shook his head.

Gu Jin Tian seemed slightly disappointed. “So, fewer people are targeting me now?”

Jiang Hao was silent.

It wasn’t that he didn’t think anyone was targeting Gu Jin, but that he didn’t dare to go out.

It was not that no one targeted Gu Jin. It was just that he dared not venture out.

A trip to the overseas regions would bring too much trouble.

With the arrival of the Great Era, many would reappear.

Those slain or sealed by Gu Jin would all be resurrected, and they would return, not to mention those who were sealed but still alive.

“By the way, since you don’t have a sharpened treasure, take mine. Also, there are some scattered spirit stones around, give them to Chi Tian.” Gu Jin smiled. “I assume you have met him already?”

Jiang Hao nodded.

“You called him your brother?” Gu Jin asked.

Jiang Hao nodded again, but he felt a little regretful. He thought their abilities would be similar to the Holy Master.

He had guessed right, but only halfway.

It was indeed similar to the Holy Master, but it was not the Red Dragon who was on par but himself.

Without mentioning the Red Dragon further, Jiang Hao asked about Gu Jin’s magic treasure.

Seeing that Jiang Hao did not want to mention Chi Tian, Gu Jin’s smile brightened even more. “It’s a halberd I refined back then. I used it quite well. Later, I used it to suppress some evil spirits. Now that Lou Mantian has appeared, the core evil spirits there have probably been taken away. The rest are just small fries. You can handle them easily.”

Jiang Hao nodded.

A Heavenly Halberd?

He had not used a halberd much, but he could give it a try.

However, that was Gu Jin’s treasure. Could he use it?

Upon asking, he got a clear answer.

With Gu Jin’s name, he could naturally inherit everything.

Jiang Hao nodded. After a moment’s hesitation, he asked, “With the Great Era approaching, can you break free, Senior?”

Gu Jin smiled and shook his head. “The Great Era can bring countless opportunities for cultivators, but not for me.”

“Why not?” Jiang Hao asked.

“When you reach a certain height, opportunities no longer matter.” Gu Jin smiled mysteriously.

A certain height?

Jiang Hao was puzzled. He did not know how high that was.

However, sometimes when luck is good enough, outside opportunities indeed mean little.

He never thought of fighting for opportunities.

For him, it was already enough.

The Great Era’s opportunities also held no value for him.

He did not go into detail because he was worried that it would provoke Gu Jin.

This prison looked sturdy, but it could collapse at any moment.

The Great Era’s opportunities being ineffective for Gu Jin was a good thing because if they were effective, it would be the same for his evil counterpart.

That would be dangerous.

After chatting for a while more, Jiang Hao confirmed the location of the halberd and turned to leave.

Seeing Jiang Hao disappear, Gu Jin raised an eyebrow. “A seventy-year-old True Immortal…”

He found it unbelievable.

“Is there really a seventy-year-old True Immortal in this world? Moreover, with Dao Qi… A True Immortal at the early stage who can reverse-slay a Dao Immortal. Could anyone claim to be first if he says he is second? If he grows during this Great Era and emerges from obscurity, the era will shine because of him. But… There are always those who don’t want him alive. If he doesn’t die before his time, I wonder how far he will go… The further he goes, the further the Astronomical Academy will go. But he never mentions the Astronomical Academy. Now that I’ve even given away that weapon, shouldn’t the Astronomical Academy do something?”

He had racked his brains to push this monster toward the academy. He hoped the Astronomical Academy would rise to the occasion.

In the courtyard, Jiang Hao took out the Heavenly Blade.

From Gu Jin, he learned about the eighty-one-day cycle and got a treasure.

If convenient, he could indeed take it. As for the scattered spirit stones, giving them to Chi Tian was no problem.

He would check it out after some time.

The place was not too far.

There were some enemies there, but they were just right for him to practice his newly learned techniques.

He just needed to master the Black-Yellow Curse.
