Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

Chapter 369: Purple Light Like Jing’s

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Jiang Hao sat under a tree and thought about what had happened earlier.

The appearance of Li Bai caught him by surprise.

Fortunately, he had only come to meet his doom and had no intention of actually attacking him.

He had a good chance of winning. If Li Bai had resisted, Jiang Hao wouldn’t have survived.

Something had been brewing. Thankfully, everything went smoothly.

However, the misfortune had fallen on him and created some life-threatening situations.

‘What was the light that had shone on me, though? It made me feel like I had nowhere to run…

The feeling made him uneasy.

‘I used up all my Thousand Miles Teleportation Talisman. I’ll need to make more of those.’

Making more of the teleportation talismans would hamper his divine ability again, but with the Revival of Withered Tree ability, he might be able to recover soon.

As long as he didn’t exert himself too much, it would turn out okay.

If it affected him too severely, he might not be able to recuperate without the Snow God Pill.

Jiang Hao took out the nine rings. This particular treasure had proved extremely useful.

It had also made him realize something. He needed to bury one of the rings outside the sect.

That way, he could avoid using the Thousand Miles Teleportation Talisman and also avoid his courtyard when someone was following him.

After all, there were too many important things within his courtyard that he didn’t want anyone to know about.

If someone happened to enter the place, it would be dangerous.

He only had four rings left that he could use. If he used one more, he would only have three left.

Three should be enough for critical moments.

He had used three rings to deal with Li Bai.

He had wasted one to return to the courtyard and erase his tracks. Otherwise, two would have been enough.

‘If necessary, I’ll have to ask for the rings back from Xiao Li and the beast.’

At first, he had thought that the rings weren’t that important, so he had given them away. Only now he understood that it could be used in critical situations.

Now it seemed like such a waste to have given them away.

The Nine Rings of Heaven and Earth had a main ring and eight sub-rings.

Xiao Li and the beast each had one. He had buried one in the Corpse Realm. There was another in his courtyard.

If he buried one outside the sect, he would be left with three rings. He would have only two if he used another and buried it somewhere else.

It didn’t feel like they were enough.

Fortunately, there was no issue right now which needed the rings.

If he ran out of rings in the future, he could replace them with the Thousand Miles Teleportation Talismans.

After taking a break, he began to continue with his task of eliminating demons.

During this period, he thought about the traces of great luck. He tried to use the secret technique that Dan Yuan had taught them in the gathering but couldn’t find any trace of great luck at all.

Even at the site of the ruins where he had found the pearl, there were no traces left.

It seemed that the return of great luck to the world left traces in random places. The proximity to the source didn’t necessarily make it easier to find.

If he couldn’t find it, he wouldn’t push it. He continued getting rid of the demons.

In the following days, he appraised the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl and the Nine Heavens Boots.

There were no issues with the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl; he just needed to keep sealing it.

The boots added another attribute to the set of Nine Heavens Battle Armor.

[One of the Nine Heaven Battle Armor Set Pieces (Boots): The abilities of the four battle armors have been improved. All aspects have reached the Soul Ascension Realm. Wearing it regulates spiritual energy, enhances movement techniques, and provides the ability to ride the wind.]

Jiang Hao was quite surprised. The Nine Heaven Battle Armor was indeed remarkable.

Unfortunately, he hadn’t yet reached the Soul Ascension Realm, so he couldn’t fully use its power.

Right now, the abilities only stopped at the Primordial Spirit Realm.

He was curious about the remaining pieces which were the helmet, belt, pants, and the battle robe.

There were a total of eight pieces in the set. There might even be more of them.

For now, he didn’t pay much attention to it.

He focused on finishing off the demons and completing the sect’s mission.

However, there was no need to rush. He could just hide here for a while.

Mu Qiu was still outside, and he didn’t know what was happening. It was better to stay hidden.

The danger of the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl had disappeared, so there was a high probability of another gathering.

The next day, he received a message. There would indeed be a gathering tonight.

It was another impromptu gathering.

This time, Jiang Hao didn’t need to prepare anything. As soon as midnight arrived, he entered the stone tablet.

They gathered at the common area and took their seats.

“I heard there has been progress,” Dan Yuan said.

Gui looked around. She wasn’t sure what kind of progress had been made.

However, she noticed that Jing didn’t bring up any issues, so she assumed everything was fine for now.

“Is it good news?” Liu asked.

He was overseas. If there was an eruption, he could stay out for a while to avoid trouble. However, his peace wouldn’t last very long.

“Yes,” said Xing. “After the Bright Moon Sect shifted its focus to the south, it sensed that the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl was about to erupt. It informed the Clear Sky School. However, the signs of an eruption disappeared at a critical moment.’

“Disappeared?” Gui was puzzled.

“It suddenly disappeared, and the only thing we can confirm is that someone intervened. The crisis was resolved smoothly.” Xing nodded.

“Who was it?” Liu exclaimed.

“We don’t know who it was, but there’s a sign.” Xing looked at everyone. “It seems that a purple light appeared and severed everything.”

“Purple light?” Gui was astonished. She looked at Jiang Hao instinctively.

‘Don’t look at me…’ Jiang Hao remained silent.

Gui’s behavior surprised the others as well.

They speculated many things but refrained from asking Jing outright.

However, they did have one thing in mind. The purple light might be related to Jing.

“Since everything went well, you can each ask me a question. But you must ask them now,” Dan Yuan said.

The others understood that this exchange wasn’t like a regular thing, and they might not have such a chance again.

“I want to know the whereabouts of the Heavenly Silkworm,” Gui said.

“I want to ask where more Wood Essences can be found,” Liu said.

“I want to know about the Fallen Immortal Clan,” Xing said.

Jiang Hao wasn’t very familiar with the first two, but the Fallen Immortal Clan that Xing wanted to inquire about might be related to Gu Qing.

When it was Jiang Hao’s turn, he hesitated for a moment. “I would like to know where I can find someone who knows more about different languages in the world.”

Dan Yuan nodded. “In the next gathering, you will receive your answers.”

With that matter settled, Gui said, “Senior, I’ve detected another trace of great luck.”

Jiang Hao was speechless.

That meant that Gui was still nearby.

He thought that she might have left.

Gui informed Xing and Dan Yuan of the location where she had found the traces.

She received rewards from both of them.

The gathering came to an end.

There wasn’t much talking this time.

Although the gathering was brief, Jiang Hao felt that the impression he left behind was effective. He had made himself come off as mysterious and elusive.

As for his wish to find someone who knew about languages, he would find the answer to that in the next gathering.

At that time, he could decide whether to meet them or not.

Late at night, Jiang Hao emerged from the gathering.

He closed his eyes to take a rest and decided to eliminate demons the next day. He needed to be in his peak condition.

At Hundred Flowers Lake in the Heavenly Note Sect, Baizhi stood in front of a pavilion.

“Sect Master.”

Hong Yuye sat in the pavilion. “Speak.”

“We can confirm that the person searching for the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl has been killed. The one who acted is a mysterious individual, and their identity cannot be determined for now. Based on the current information, this person is highly likely to be connected to the individual we assume to be behind Jiang Hao. So far, we assume that this person is enigmatic and possesses sufficient strength and concealing abilities,” Baizhi said.

“However, it’s also possible that spies might be involved in this. After all, the matter of the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl is of great significance. It is possible that other sects would try to harm the person, after all.”

“Anything else?” Hong Yuye asked.

“Mu Qiu is being interrogated. He makes it very difficult to extract information from him,” said Baizhi. “I’m not sure why, but the Bright Moon Sect has decided to ignore all other sects and are making their way here. They said that they will arrive in a few days..”
