Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

Jiang Hao walked slowly.

He paid no attention to the people behind him or the matter of the Ancient Yin-Yang Millstone.

At this moment, his whole mind centered upon that single stone.

Instantly, the world within the stone began to resonate with him.

A vibrant world began to extend forth, from the stone to the ground beneath Jiang Hao's feet, and then elsewhere.

“Old fool, try barking again,” Jing Dajiang bellowed angrily.

“The Western Astronomical Academy claims to be erudite and refined to outsiders, but I think it's a disgrace to culture, a bunch of louts,” an elder from the Immortal Clan retorted fiercely.

“Uncouth?” Jing Dajiang laughed out loud, “What kind of people reflect such things, everyone thinks I am a man of virtue and prestige, only you find me uncouth. Is the problem with you, or with me?”

“You…” the elder from the Immortal Clan rebuked:

“People from the Heavenly Joy Pavilion are an inferior race, deserving only to grovel in the dust.”

Looking contemptuous, Jing Dajiang replied, “Old man, times have changed. You Immortal Clan simply live in past glories. With your little bit of strength, who can you beat if you all come out? Even the Heavenly Faction can go back and forth with you in battle. Do you believe that if you anger me, my Western Astronomical Academy could go there and rout your Immortal Clan so you can't establish yourselves in the great world?”

“People from the Heavenly Joy Pavilion, you just have the advantage of numbers, which allows for the occasional noteworthy individual. But these are abnormalities, a single individual cannot represent the whole, the masses are what the people look like,” the Immortal Clan elder angrily retorted, not waiting for Jing Dajiang to speak and continuing:

“But what does it matter if there are many people from the Heavenly Joy Pavilion?

“With thousands of years, your people have become the principal character of the era, but over so many years, have you produced a second Human Emperor?

“No, relying on their own strength, the people haven't even been recognized by heaven and earth, let alone entering this Heavenly Realm Gate.

“The Supreme Immortal Court will establish beyond the gate, inhabiting the Heavenly Realm.

“People from the Heavenly Joy Pavilion are not even qualified to enter.”

As they hurled insults at each other, they suddenly felt a change in the environment around them.

What was once an endless void now revealed green mountains, grasslands, rivers.

Now, they found themselves standing on the grassland.

Beside them was a torrential river.

Vibrant life surged forth.

Leaving everyone somewhat puzzled.

“What is this place?” the elder from the Immortal Clan furrowed his brows.

They were yet unable to act, but they could feel the lush vitality here.

As if it harbored endless hope and a future.

But it seemed as though time was moving swiftly.

The torrential rivers and streams grew increasingly wild, with light rain under the bright sky nourishing the earth.

All nine individuals were puzzled yet felt a faint sense of enlightenment.

It seemed the Tao of life here gave them a better understanding of Changsheng.

The changes here were out of the ordinary, but they said nothing.

They were all absorbing the Tao of vitality found here.

But quickly, they felt the warmth of the sun turn scorching.

Looking up, they were met with bright sunshine and a clear sky.

In the height of summer, numerous creatures awoke, birds sang, and cicadas called.

Whereas initially there was only plant life, now there was the vitality of all living beings.

Summer brought a sense of warmth to the Tao they felt.

But they had barely begun to enjoy this when a strong wind began to blow.

Lush green mountains became covered by ochre yellow.

The rustling autumn wind evoked a different sensation.

“Spring, summer, autumn, winter, the cycle of seasons?” Jing Dajiang asked.

“Is this evolving into a change of heaven and earth?” the elder from the Immortal Clan inquired.

They did not know.

But the vitality was fading.

Then, autumn leaves fell to the ground, and a cold wind blew.

Snowflakes fluttered down.

In just a few blinks of an eye, the snow covered everything.

They had gone from standing on a vibrant grassland to at the foot of a snow-covered mountain.

But the snow did not last long, and soon began to melt.

Seeing this, everyone knew that spring was coming.

They were all waiting for the rebirth of life.

Perhaps then, they could comprehend even more.

But then…

As the snow melted, it revealed barren mountain peaks.

Underfoot lay wasteland.

They waited a long time; the land began to crack, and the mountain tops started to crumble.

No trace of vitality could be felt any longer.

And those standing within it even felt their bodies decaying, everything moving towards an end.

The Tao has an end, as does the road to Changsheng.

At this moment,

They felt they were walking on the road to the end.

The end, perhaps, was in the changes soon to come.

Then, the barren mountains began to collapse, the earth sank along with them.

It seemed as if everything would lose the support of the heavenly order and move toward desolation.

From the emergence of life, to its eventual disappearance.

And now, with life long gone, what could fade away was order itself.

The heavenly order sustaining the world was collapsing.

The ground crumbled bit by bit.

Chaos emerged.

Suddenly, Jing Dajiang and the others discovered in horror that the Tao began to dissipate.

“How could this be?”

At this moment, the others panicked.

They had never expected to endure such changes here.

Heaven and earth transforming, life dissolving, order collapsing, the Tao evaporating.

As if facing the destruction of heaven and earth.

Everything was about to be obliterated.

“Could this be the change brought about by the revolution of the Ancient Yin-Yang Millstone?” Jing Dajiang spoke.

The others were at a loss.

But what's more, they wanted to resist.

Yet, no matter what they did, they could not alleviate the disintegration of heaven and earth into chaos.

They, too, would become a part of the chaos.

Even those from the Heavenly Note Sect outside were shocked by all this.

The Tao evaporating, heaven and earth disintegrating–what was happening?

However, amid everyone's shock, footsteps suddenly appeared.

Jing Dajiang and the others immediately looked over, and there, the once-standing Jiang Hao began to walk forward.
