Chapter 1134 The One I Hate the Most Right Now Is You (2)
The more blue bubbles he found, the faster his cultivation and lifeblood points increased.
...
In an inn on the outskirts of the Imperial City, Bi Zhu lay on the roof and looked at the moonlight. She felt rather emotional.
"Senior, why did you have to fixate on me?" she asked.
"Because, other than you, no one else has ever tried to spy on me before," said the puzzled voice of Gu Changsheng.
"Just that?" she asked.
"Don\'t you think you\'re exceptionally talented?" he asked.
"Senior, you have a good eye. But… there are so many outstanding cultivators in the world."
"Well… their luck helped them. But none can spy on a cursed being like you did and live to tell the tale," he said.
Bi Zhu was moved by his words.
He did have a lot of good points. At the young age of eighteen, she had done extraordinary things. She was indeed the number one genius of the royal family.
Unfortunately, as much as she wanted to believe it, that title belonged to someone else.
She decided to properly visit the number one genius of the royal family and talk to her about it.
"By the way, Senior, why do you think the core person of The End of All Things delayed his return?" Bi Zhu changed the topic.
"Delayed his return?!" Gu Changsheng sounded surprised.
"Yeah. He was about to make a full comeback. Then, he suddenly decided to delay it," she said.
She could not figure out why.
"Has anything happened lately?" he asked.
"The North is in chaos. Many things must have happened there," she said.
"Anything else?" he asked.
"The Ancestral Dragon\'s Heart has begun to move. I don\'t know the details."
Gu Changsheng was silent for a moment. "It\'s possible that the dragons are about to appear. At least there\'s a chance that there will be traces of them now."
Bi Zhu was puzzled. "Senior, why do you think that?"
"The whereabouts of the Dragon Clan have always been a mystery for many years now. But the core person of The End of All Things wouldn\'t have delayed his return for nothing. The Dragon Clan may be about to appear, so he decided to delay his return to make way for them," he said. "When the core person was thrown into the Abyssal sea, the Dragon Clan disappeared. They might be in that place as well. They must have made their presence known inside, so the other party chose to step aside. You know… the more the number of strong experts outside, the greater its benefit would be for him. When strong experts fight, the mountains shatter. If they are not stopped, the world will be destroyed. As for the Dragon Pearl, it might be because of the Heavenly Extreme Dream Pearl. But that is just my guess…"
He did not care if his theories made sense. None of those things affected him, after all.
As Bi Zhu listened, she felt like she had figured something out.
Back then, Jing had triggered all sorts of changes to obtain something related to the Dragon Clan in the Abyssal Sea.
If the appearance of the Dragon Clan was related to all those changes, then everything would ultimately be connected to…
The people from the Shangguan Clan had visited the South to find Smiling San Sheng because of their curse.
Later, she spied on Gu Changsheng and provoked him.
After that, Jing helped her suppress Gu Changsheng. It caused him to escape from that river. Soon after, the Heavenly Extreme Dream Pearl appeared.
Since the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl and the Earth Extreme Silent both had appeared, the Heavenly Extreme Dream Pearl was bound to show itself.
After that, it was sealed away by Jing once again. Because of that, the Dragon Clan reacted.
Jing\'s goal had always been the Dragon Clan from the beginning.
Bi Zhu felt that her guess was right.
The invisible hand that was luring the Dragon Clan back was Jing\'s.
Everything that happened had a reason.
She had been dragged into it by chance.
Bi Zhu sighed wearily.
"At eighteen, I have to shoulder such stress. You won\'t find anyone like me in the entire southern region."
"Weren\'t you eighteen last year?" asked Gu Changsheng.
"Senior, what do you think we should do if we are chased by powerful enemies?" Bi Zhu changed the topic.
"Run," Gu Changsheng said.
Bi Zhu fell silent.
Then, she asked about the strange beast that had appeared in the North.
"How do we confirm if it\'s a mutated beast?"
Gu Changsheng thought for a moment. "It\'s not difficult. If we find a mutated beast now, it\'ll be even easier. We can snatch a wisp of its aura and then check if it reacts around other mutated beasts. If there is a reaction, you have your answer."
Bi Zhu nodded. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Then, she asked something she was most concerned about.
"Senior, do you think there are other Heavenly Pearls in the world?"
"According to the legends, there were only three. There shouldn\'t be any more of them."
Bi Zhu heaved a sigh of relief. It was good that there were no more of such pearls.
...
The more he wiped the treasures, the more Jiang Hao realized that the treasure did not become better. Although it looked cleaner, the power contained within it did not increase.
He hoped for some blue bubbles. It was all up to luck.
Fortunately, he got two or three bubbles per day, which was great.
A week later, Jiang Hao placed the half-cleaned vase on the shelf.
A blue bubble appeared.
His cultivation and lifeblood points were full.
He could finally advance.
He did not look for a place to advance. He sat down cross-legged, set up the Yin Yang Bracelet, and activated the Heavenly Cauldron.
After setting up some formations, he began to advance.
His condition was not the best, but he extracted his cultivation and lifeblood and started the process.
Once again Jiang Hao was standing in front of a flight of stairs.
He lifted his foot and moved forward.
The pressure he felt this time was much greater than before. He felt as though his entire being and body were being squeezed tight.
Even faced with such pressure, Jiang Hao did not retreat. He pushed himself until he could see the third step.
Then, he stepped on it.
Whoosh!
The moment his foot landed on the step, the wind howled as if it wanted to blow him away.
Jiang Hao did not care. He stepped forward and landed on the third step.
A new power burst in his body.
Jiang Hao opened his eyes only after letting the energy circulate through his body for a full day.
He realized that a day had passed since then.
Without hesitation, Jiang Hao checked his interface.
[Name: Jiang Hao]
[Age: 44]
[Cultivation: Third Stage of the Immortal Ascension Platform]
[Cultivation Method: Heavenly Sound Hundred Revolutions, Hong Meng Heart Sutra]
[Divine Ability: Nine Revolutions Death Substitution (unique), Daily Appraisal, Clear and Pure Heart, Reappearance of Hidden Spirit, Divine Might, Revival of Withered Tree, Heavenly Cauldron, Indestructible Vajra, Myriad Nature Forest]
[Lifeblood: 45/100 (can be cultivated)]
[Cultivation: 43/100 (can be cultivated)]
[Divine Abilities: 0/3 (cannot be obtained)]
\'There\'s only around forty points left. I\'ve consumed more than before. I don\'t know if it\'s because I haven\'t refined my cultivation or because it\'s harder to advance to the third stage.\'
Jiang Hao was puzzled.
However, no matter what, he did not use his lifeblood and cultivation.
He could not use it to refine his cultivation. It was too wasteful.
What he needed to do was to increase the points to a hundred as soon as possible and then continue to advance to the next stage.
He would just need to spend three days refining it.
It would not be long before he could advance again.
There were a lot of treasures in the warehouse that needed to be cleaned.
Time was fleeting.
Autumn passed and winter arrived.
Duanmu Yi stood outside the warehouse and waited. The person inside had not left yet, so he could not leave either.
He needed to know what the other party had done inside, so he could leave,
At first, he thought that he would not have to wait for long. He thought it would be just two or three days. It would not take that long to get whatever that person wanted from the warehouse, after all.
However, he had never expected to wait for months on end.
A total of five months had passed, and they were well into January of the next year.
The person did not come out.
Duanmu Yi wondered if the person was still inside.
The Heavenly King would return in a while. It was essential for him to find out.
He sighed.
Duanmu Yi made up his mind to go in and check.
However, just as he walked to the door, he suddenly felt a fluctuation of energy.
A scholar in a white robe walked out. He had a folding fan in his hand. He looked happy.
"Disciple Duanmu, you\'re still here?" His voice was gentle, and he smiled.
Duanmu Yi could sense that this person was somehow different from five months ago, but he could not put his finger on it.
"It\'s been a long time since we last met, Senior. You\'re even more impressive than before," he said respectfully.
Jiang Hao smiled. "Sorry to have kept you waiting. When your Heavenly King returns, tell him that I\'m waiting for treasures from other places."
"Of course. Rest assured, Senior, I\'ll tell him."
Although Duanmu Yi did not know if what this person said was true, he did not dare refuse.
After that, Jiang Hao disappeared from where he was.
Duanmu Yi felt like everything that had happened might have been a trick of his mind.
Then, he went in to check the warehouse.
