Jiang Hao said all he wanted to say.

Old Man Corpse Sea might have left the Corpse Realm. The End of All Things was waiting for the corpse to awaken. The immortal seed of the Fallen Immortal Clan was about to bloom.

The first issue wasn’t too important, but the other two were likely to cause some commotion.

It was necessary to let everyone know and then let them handle the problems.

That would be beneficial for everyone.

After learning about the situation, Gui seemed rather numb.

She felt like she had even greater darkness awaiting her. Perhaps, it was a mistake to leave.

Some other matters were also discussed during the gathering.

Liu mentioned Chi Tian. He stated that he had been gaining favor from

Heavenly King Taomu. His influence was growing stronger.

His reputation was soaring.

With the help of the Heavenly King, his cultivation was advancing rapidly. Jiang Hao couldn’t help but sigh at Chi Tian’s opportunities.

While others faced the sect’s opposition, they had long since withdrawn into a corner and faded away.

On the contrary, he not only avenged his family but also gained the recognition of an influential figure.

And now, his name resounded throughout the world.

Now, it was just a matter of breaking away from Jiang Hao.

Jiang Hao didn’t need to ask to know that Chi Tian would be making preparations to deal with him.

Liu also mentioned that Mi Lingyue and Mu Longyu had some disputes.

After the disagreement, Mi Lingyue disappeared overseas.

Gui was very interested in that. She mentioned something about someone in the Lawless Tower.

They were still speculating about what happened between the two people and why the Heavenly Note Sect had arrested someone again.

Jiang Hao listened intently.

After all, the reason Mi Lingyue entered the Lawless Tower was essentially because of him.

Mi Lingyue really wanted to break away from the Great Thousand God Sect. The Great Thousand God Sect had a remarkable means of control, but their true intentions weren’t clear.

Heavenly King Hai Luo seemed to know something but wouldn’t talk.

It had nothing to do with him anyway. It was better to avoid getting involved if possible.

As long as it didn’t affect him, he was fine with it.

The gathering ended.

Jiang Hao returned to his house and took out a notebook to record everything.

The Sage’s Pages were likely in the West since the Master of Heavenly Tower was also heading that way.

Zhang was about to advance, but for that, she needed to overcome her inner demon. Dole’s condition was uncertain.

He had informed them that the Fallen Immortal Clan’s immortal seed was about to bloom and that the corpse in the West was about to be awakened, but he hadn’t told them that it could happen in Sea Sky Forest.

Jiang Hao didn’t note down the matter of Chi Tian, Mi Lingyue, the Abyssal Sea, and the overseas Shangguan family.

These were all unimportant matters.

He didn’t write down about Chi Tian especially because he wanted to be able to tell Hong Yuye in person. He didn’t want it to seem like he hadn’t done anything.

After putting away the book, Jiang Hao mediated.

Since he had reached the Immortal Ascension Platform, his understanding of realms had also increased.

He was flipping cultivation books.

Jiang Hao was willing to take out the Blood Vow Path book to review it. The more he understood about these things, the better prepared he would be when facing such formidable enemies.

If he was able to launch a surprise attack, he wouldn’t have to worry about confronting his enemy head-on.

In the early morning, Jiang Hao walked into the courtyard and gazed at the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower.

“Beast, wake up!” said Xiao Li from the outside.

She peeked in from the doorway to check if Jiang Hao was around.

‘Why are you being so loud and sneaky?’ Jiang Hao sighed but didn’t say it aloud.

“Senior Brother Jiang…” Xiao Li tiptoed in.

Then, she glanced at the peach tree.

“Go ahead and pick some,” Jiang Hao said.

Xiao Li came early in the morning to pluck the peaches because they were ripening.

She also noticed the pleasant fragrance in the courtyard. She liked the fragrance when it lingered on her.

That way, she smelled good since she tended to wander around the sect and get her clothes stained, which smelled bad sometimes.

“Thank you, Senior Brother Jiang.” Xiao Li came under the tree to start picking peaches.

She plucked the smallest one for Jiang Hao.

Jiang Hao took a bite and then used his Half-Moon Blade to lift the spirit beast.

Xiao Li held the peaches in her hands. “Senior Brother Jiang, do you think the beast dreams of eating peaches?”

“Perhaps,” Jiang Hao said indifferently.

“Then, would the beast leave a few for me?” Xiao Li asked again.

“Will you leave any for it?” Jiang Hao asked in return.

“I will. The beast likes eating carrots, and I always feed it carrots,” she said. “I am afraid it can’t handle meat, so I always help it to finish them.”

Jiang Hao was quite surprised but didn’t say anything.

Jiang Hao headed to the Spirit Herb Garden. He saw Mu Qi and Miao Tinglian

there.

He handed over the spirit beast to Xiao Li. He went over to greet them. “Senior Brother, Senior Sister, Greetings.”

Mu Qi nodded with a smile. “I came to talk to you about something, Junior Brother Jiang. I feel a bit embarrassed to bring it up.”

Jiang Hao felt puzzled and instinctively looked at Miao Tinglian in concern. Before, it was only her pestering him. Had Mu Qi joined her too?

“We’re not here to find you a partner,” Miao Tinglian said.

Jiang Hao breathed a sigh of relief.

Miao Tinglian said disapprovingly, “Junior Brother Jiang, I do still feel like you lack a partner. I found someone just right for you. Unfortunately, she was snatched away by another sect. A Golden Core Realm cultivator at such a young age should have a partner.”

Jiang Hao didn’t pay much attention to Miao Tinglian’s words but looked at Mu Qi and asked about the matter.

“The sect has assigned me a task. It isn’t a big deal, but Miao Tinglian has been a bit unwell lately. She might not be able to handle some things,” said Mu Qi, and hesitated. “So, I wanted to ask if you are free.”

Jiang Hao didn’t hesitate. “What task is it, Senior Brother Mu?”

“My task was to guard the outskirts of the mines before. But now, I’m being asked to investigate inside the mines. I could occasionally visit the mines and make sure it was alright before. But… to investigate the inside of the mines, I would have to stay there longer,” said Mu Qi.

“Senior Sister Miao Tinglian’s health requires your attention. That should be your priority. Leave the job to me, Senior Brother Mu. I won’t let you down, ” said Jiang Hao firmly.

“Well… entering the mines has its own risks. My job as a team leader is quite a stressful one, so it will be the same for you,” said Mu Qi.

Jiang Hao just earnestly said, “I’ll do my best. Please don’t worry.”

“The ones accompanying me would have been in the early or middle stages of the Golden Core Realm. I think you can handle them. But, just to be safe, don’t venture in too deep. Even if the task fails, I’m willing to take the punishment. Don’t put yourself in danger,” said Mu Qi.

“We can also give you some good stuff so that you won’t feel like we are exploiting you,” Miao Tinglian said.

‘Please don’t find me a new partner…’ Jiang Hao didn’t say that out loud.

He couldn’t pass up such a good opportunity.

Mu Qi and Miao Tinglian were always very kind to him.

He was curious about Miao Tinglian’s health.

Jiang Hao glanced over and didn’t notice any signs of weakness. But she sensed something peculiar.

In an instant, he thought of the Heavenly Saint Sect.

Miao Tinglian was one of the Saintess candidates for the Heavenly Saint Sect. Because of such a status, the Heavenly Saint Sect wouldn’t let her off easily.

After hesitating for a moment, he decided to appraise her.

If he couldn’t sense what was wrong with her even with his current cultivation realm, it must be something extraordinary..
