Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

Chapter 1827: Chapter 1464 The Senior Can Make a Wish Now_2 Chapter 1827: Chapter 1464 The Senior Can Make a Wish Now_2 Seeing how their eyes light up at the sight of spirit stones, convincing him to help with spirit stones and assuring his comfort with the philosophy of Freedom Peak, that's generally enough to secure success.

“I'll go and probe, also, I feel like the Heavenly Faction might have suspected something.

Don't do anything unnecessary,” the woman earnestly said.

The young man nodded firmly. This was the Heavenly Faction's territory, and even the dragon race, powerful as they were, wouldn't dare cause trouble here.

The Heavenly Faction, the strongest sect of the four major immortal sects.

Although it was easy to enter, who knows if they intentionally allowed people in?

Especially since one could get in after purchasing something outside.

It was somewhat baffling.

It felt like a wild goose chase.

Then, they arrived at Jiang Hao's dwelling.

“This is it. The other party said his name is Jiang Hao Tian,” the young man said.

“Jiang Hao Tian?” The woman was a little surprised, “Are there many people with this name?”

“There are quite a few. There's also a Jiang Hao Tian in the Heavenly Faction who seems to have just changed his name recently,” the young man said. “It seems that there are other people with this name who have been criticized by everyone.”

The woman didn't ponder further and knocked on the door.

Jiang Hao opened the door and curiously said, “Junior Brother, Junior Sister, are you looking for me?”

“Greetings to Senior Brother Jiang, I am Ao Zhen,” Ao Zhen said, bowing her head politely.

The man beside her also performed a courtesy; his name was Bai Qinglai.

Jiang Hao looked at the two and asked, “Junior Brother, Junior Sister, do you need something from me?”

He then stepped aside to let them in.

At this time, tea was already prepared by the Heavenly Note Sect. Jiang Hao invited them to sit down.

“I heard there's something beneath Freedom Peak. We come from Freedom Peak with the aim of achieving the Freedom Technique's success. I have a feeling that going down there, I will see the vast world, so I hope Senior Brother can help,” Ao Zhen earnestly said. “I will take all the blame when the time comes, Senior Brother just needs to help explore the path.

We are willing to pay Senior Brother one million spirit stones.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Hao was a bit surprised.

One million to hire a Daluo, and he, a Daluo himself, seemed a bit cheap.

“Just me?” he asked.

“Of course not, when the time comes I will have other powerful individuals join us. It's interesting to have competition. Freedom comes from finding oneself amidst restrictions,” Ao Zhen said.

Jiang Hao pondered for a moment, activated his Daily Appraisal, and sized them up.

The answer was as expected–one of the disciples under Lord Chengyun.

And she had gathered others; the other three fairy guards had been invited as well.

All for the purpose of entering beneath Freedom Peak.

And then to successfully seize the item.

She had made ample preparations; even if the Heavenly Faction discovered them, the four of them would be exposed immediately.

Not once did they give anyone time.

Now, revealing the theft of the source was naturally not the time.

“Alright,” Jiang Hao agreed without hesitation.

It seemed to be really about that one million.

Of course, the fact that the other party brought the other disciples to a single location was beyond his expectations.

The person before him could also be considered a benefactor.

“Then does Senior Brother have any other needs?” Ao Zhen asked.

Jiang Hao shook his head, pondering for a moment before saying, “The sooner, the better. I too am eager to go down and take a look.”

“Good,” Ao Zhen nodded firmly.

“Oh, there's one thing I'd like to ask Junior Sister about,” Jiang Hao said, feigning curiosity.

“It's about a senior of the sect.

I heard that in the past, there was a senior who kept the Immortal Clan under pressure, preventing them from going out.

I wonder if there is such a thing and, if so, which senior it was.

I'd like to visit and pay my respects.”

Ao Zhen pondered briefly, then looked towards Bai Qinglai.

“Yes,” Bai Qinglai said, nodding earnestly. “It was True Person Ye Cang, said to be one of the teaching elders of the sect.”

Jiang Hao nodded.

True Person Ye Cang.

He made a mental note. The rest was to find this person and express his thanks.

To see what assistance he might require.

After that, Jiang Hao bid farewell to Ao Zhen and the other.

As soon as they left, they began to discuss.

“What do you think of this Senior Brother?” Bai Qinglai asked.

“A bit strange, but indeed a suitable person. He might have his own agendas,” Ao Zhen thought aloud. “For safety's sake, let's find a few more people.

Although this Senior Brother might not be the one to act, he might be able to explore the correct path with some probability.”

Bai Qinglai nodded, then said, “I wonder how things are progressing with the Immortal Clan.”

“No need to worry about them, there isn't much time left. Less than two years, we need to act quickly,” Ao Zhen said, looking in the direction of Jiang Hao's dwelling. “It seems that no one who enters the Heavenly Faction is simple.

We must not be careless.”

Bai Qinglai said nothing, having made contact with several others, he could sense it too.

This Senior Brother seemed the easiest to sway.

Jiang Hao sipped his tea and looked at the two people with a smile, “This Ao Zhen also has a connection with Lord Chengyun, and it seems she's planning to invite others to enter beneath Freedom Peak. Maybe we don't have to do anything and can just sit back and reap the benefits of a fisherman.”

Heavenly Note Sect set down her teacup and said, “Lord Chengyun's condition should be poor, but there's a definite possibility that he has a contingency plan.”

“But we have our seniors to rely on, right?” Jiang Hao said earnestly.

Heavenly Note Sect chuckled, “I'm not lifting a finger.”

Jiang Hao: “…”

Well, I could take action myself if needed.

By mid-August, Jiang Hao finally found out where Real Person Ye Cang lived. Sadly, the person was in seclusion, apparently injured. Under those circumstances, Jiang Hao didn't want to disturb him directly. Better to wait for him to come out of seclusion. After all, with the imminent establishment of the Supreme Immortal Court, he would have to emerge eventually.

Another hundred years.

In a spacious cave dwelling filled with spirit herbs, Daoist Ye Cang stood amid them and heaved a deep sigh. He had already come out of seclusion. Unfortunately, the state of his body was worsening. “Originally in the North, my condition was already mediocre, and I still forced myself to take action. In this grand era, where opportunities abound everywhere, acting recklessly brought injuries completely unlike others.” Daoist Ye Cang turned and looked outside, “My Tao needs to be sorted out, otherwise residual damage to the Tao could occur. But who could help me untangle the Tao?”

The Heavenly Faction surely had such strong existences, but they were in slumber. Other sects? Even the Sword God of the Mountain Sea Sword Sect was likely asleep. So, there was no one.

“Forget it, time to come out of seclusion. Next month I'll go and teach the newcomers, perhaps I'll have some inspiration as well.”

So, Real Person Ye Cang left the cave dwelling.

Soon after, the news that Real Person Ye Cang was expounding on the Dharma spread. As a Perfect Immortal, his strength already stood at the pinnacle of the world. In an era where the grand Daluo did not appear, his presence was almost invincible. Now that he was set to expound on the Dharma, who wouldn't be excited? Unfortunately, he decided to preach only to the newcomers. This decision caused immense agony among disciples of other sects.

Some disciples from Freedom Peak, furious, left the group and then used their connections to rejoin the sect as new disciples. Daoist Ye Cang naturally didn't pay attention to these matters.

At the beginning of September, he arrived punctually at the plaza where the Dharma would be expounded. Looking down at the thousands of new disciples, he felt quite moved. Their strength far surpassed those of the past. He looked at the crowd below and started speaking in a soft voice, “Let's start with the basics of cultivation.”

This lecture series lasted three months, from the beginning of September to the beginning of December. The audience below benefited immensely, and some even achieved breakthroughs. After finishing his teaching, Daoist Ye Cang stood and left, walking on air. But he hadn't gone far when he turned his head to look behind him.

He saw two people following him. Somewhat surprised, he thought following him so brazenly after his teachings was somewhat distasteful.

“Greetings, senior.” Jiang Hao stood before him, bowing respectfully, “After listening to your teachings, I gained a lot, and I came especially to thank you. Additionally, I have some questions I would like to ask.”

Heavenly Note Sect simply performed a brief greeting. Daoist Ye Cang didn't get angry but instead asked, “Is it about cultivation?”

He didn't plan on answering. However, Jiang Hao shook his head, “It's unrelated to cultivation, just some minor questions.”

Daoist Ye Cang looked at the man before him, and finally sighed, “Ask your questions.”

“Was it you who suppressed the Immortal Clan for many years for the sake of 'laugh three times'?” Jiang Hao stated his purpose clearly. Hearing this, Daoist Ye Cang was slightly startled, then he laughed, “You came all this way for that?”

“Yes, junior came especially for this reason,” Jiang Hao nodded.

“And what if I say I was?” he asked, “What do you plan to do?”

“Junior dares to speak boldly,” Jiang Hao replied. Daoist Ye Cang smiled, “Bold words? What are they?”

Jiang Hao looked at the person before him, bowed deeply, and said, “Senior, you may make a wish.”
