Afterward, the Great Overarching Heaven unfolded.
The Ancient Yin-Yang Millstone began to project.
This gigantic millstone occupied an area here.
Jiang Hao stood on the millstone, approaching the light of the stars.
He carefully sensed it, indeed there wasn't the feeling of it being increasingly distant.
However…
No matter how close he got, it seemed like no distance was actually shortened.
It appeared as if there was something insurmountable between them.
This gave Jiang Hao an inexplicable feeling.
It was almost as though, the stars didn't exist.
This made Jiang Hao stay in place.
“Where exactly is the difference? Those from Helpless Heaven must have gotten closer, right? After all, they have yielded some gains.
I haven't gained anything, could it be that the gap in understanding the Tao is too big?” Jiang Hao couldn't find the answer.
However, he possessed the Ancient Yin-Yang Millstone, which theoretically should narrow this gap.
But…
Why does it feel utterly useless?
Since coming here, he always felt that the Ancient Yin-Yang Millstone seemed somewhat different.
What changes, specifically, he couldn't say, but there was a feeling that he could turn it with just a thought.
This thought scared Jiang Hao.
To know that turning it once could exterminate all living beings.
Afterward, he began to perceive the Ancient Yin-Yang Millstone.
Wanting to see where this feeling came from.
After an unknown period, Jiang Hao's expression turned odd.
The feeling of turning seemed to not come from clockwise, but from counterclockwise.
He remembered what Yi had said, the Ancient Yin-Yang Millstone indeed can reverse, but it requires some unknown conditions.
“Are the conditions now met?”
Jiang Hao was unsure, as no one knew what would happen after reversing.
Should he appraise it first?
Jiang Hao didn't want to act recklessly, so appraising it would give him peace of mind.
Previously, he had never appraised it, being too special, he also didn't dare to appraise it rashly.
Now, neither moving forward nor retreating, he could only try to appraise it.
Then his Daily Appraisal activated.
[Ancient Yin-Yang Millstone: Fueled by the years, founded on the Three Thousand Great Dao, and with countless living beings as sacrifices, forged as a millstone of hope. With three turns following heaven and earth, it can grind living beings to extinction, annihilating heaven and earth, leading the Tao to silence. Under special circumstances, a reverse turn reveals traces of time.]
Just like that?
Jiang Hao looked at the feedback from the Daily Appraisal, always feeling the message wasn't enough.
A forward turn can indeed destroy heaven and earth, but a reverse reveals traces of time.
What's going on with that? That's one turn, what about two turns?
Or is it not contacted so there is no information?
Moreover, it also doesn't state whether it has been turned before.
Just describes how it was made.
Jiang Hao fell into silence.
After appraising, there seemed to be no discomfort.
He didn't know if appraising here is safe, or if it's always safe.
Given this,
Why not give it a turn?
After pondering for a moment, Jiang Hao decided to reverse the direction.
In an instant, a thunderous noise resounded.
Jiang Hao's thoughts began to rest on the millstone.
He felt himself pushing the millstone.
As the millstone reversed, he felt his body beginning to move.
Approaching the three beams of light swiftly.
It seemed he could enter any of the three beams.
For a moment, Jiang Hao chose the beam closest to himself.
But after one full turn of the millstone, Jiang Hao directly touched that beam of light.
And then, he was sucked into it.
Immediately, a tearing sensation appeared on his body.
The power of the millstone enveloped him, and then Jiang Hao saw the endless sea.
It was indeed a pitch-black sea area, constantly deepening.
When the sea became clear,
Suddenly he fell into the middle of it.
His entire body was drenched.
With a splash!
Jiang Hao felt his body covered by seawater.
He looked at the sea surface, finding the light outside becoming brighter,
And his body also returned to normal.
With no other choice, he swiftly rose to the surface and leaped out in an instant.
Only to find, upon surfacing, something strange.
He was actually surrounded by forest.
This wasn't the sea surface at all, but clearly a large lake.
Jiang Hao perceived his surroundings, and found his cultivation to be…
Somewhat strange.
It existed in the rain but was not easy to use.
What puzzled him was, the Ancient Yin-Yang Millstone was actually within his mind.
He could communicate with the millstone and use his own strength.
What is going on?
“Still too weak, my power has been stripped away.”
If the Foundation of Dao was strong enough, such a thing wouldn't happen.
Fortunately, normal flying was not a problem.
He slowly landed by the riverbank and looked at his reflection in the water.
It seemed to be enveloped by the grinding plate.
He didn't know what others saw when they looked at him.
Furthermore…
He could still sense the sealed grind plate, feeling as though he himself had become part of that sealed grind plate, walking across the world.
“Wasn't the grind plate unsealed?”
“Why do I still feel it's sealed?”
After the grind plate started spinning, many things felt weird and strange.
“Quick, run this way, hurry up, go ahead, I'll cover the rear.”
An anxious voice rang ahead.
Jiang Hao sensed slightly; it seemed like a Primordial Spirit Realm cultivator was fighting.
A booming, the fluctuation of strength was approaching.
“Take these people away first,” a middle-aged man shouted loudly.
Jiang Hao saw a woman, with three children running towards him.
When she saw him, she was slightly surprised.
Before she could say anything, a force suddenly attacked from behind.
Boom!
The force was originally meant to kill those children.
However, the woman blocked it in front of the force immediately.
She spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
She did not retreat but began to burn her life force, preparing to forcibly drag others into death with her.
“Get up, run,” at this moment, one of the boys pulled the other two boys towards Jiang Hao.
His expression panicked, yet he clenched his teeth and knelt down in front of Jiang Hao with a thud: “Please, Immortal Elder, help us. I am willing to do anything in return.”
Jiang Hao looked at the person in front of him and felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
He seemed to have seen the other's face before.
So familiar, too familiar.
“What's your name?” Jiang Hao asked subconsciously.
The boy looked at Jiang Hao and seriously said, “My master just named me, calling me Jing Dajiang.”
Boom!
A strange feeling exploded in Jiang Hao's mind.
He found it hard to believe the person in front of him.
Jing Dajiang…
The six-year-old Jing Dajiang?
How was that possible?
“Please, Immortal Elder, save my life.” Jing Dajiang gave another deep bow.
Jiang Hao had countless questions in his heart but couldn't think clearly.
Also, he could refuse countless people under the heavens, but he simply couldn't refuse Jing Dajiang's bowing plea.
This person had a favor over him, one that was impossible to repay.
With a wave of his hand, Jiang Hao acted.
Boom!
The pursuers were directly blasted to pieces.
Instant death.
Together with the pursuer that was covering the rear, the enemies he faced were also blown apart.
Soon, a woman and a middle-aged man came before Jiang Hao.
They couldn't imagine encountering such a mighty individual here.
“The junior of Western Astronomical Academy, Jing Yucheng.”
“The junior of Western Astronomical Academy, Luo Qian.”
Simultaneously, the two said, “We have met the senior.”
Western Astronomical Academy, Jiang Hao listened to their words, silently.
Finally, he asked, “Who is after you?”
“People from the Corpse Clan,” Jing Yucheng replied.
“Why would the Western Astronomical Academy, being so powerful, be chased by the Corpse Clan?” Jiang Hao asked.
Hearing this, Jing Yucheng and the fairy guard beside him exchanged glances.
Finally, they bowed their heads and said, “Senior jests, the Western Astronomical Academy is but a humble academy. Compared to the Corpse Clan that rules over an area, it is nothing.”
Hearing this, Jiang Hao was stunned.
It meant that today's Western Astronomical Academy was actually just a normal sect.
The Corpse Clan was the one ruling over an area.
“If the senior has no other engagements, could you perhaps follow us back to the Western Astronomical Academy, and let us repay your kindness?” Jing Yucheng said.
Jiang Hao thought for a moment and agreed.
Nowadays, he wasn't sure what he should do.
Besides, he felt he was not himself but a thread of the Ancient Yin Yang Grinding Plate.
Three days later.
Jiang Hao arrived at a rather ordinary academy.
Compared to the Western Astronomical Academy he had seen, this place was like a run-down house.
Moreover, the strongest here was only at the Immortal Platform.
Not even as strong as the power he could release.
He was arranged in the largest courtyard.
The next day, Jing Yucheng came and said to repay him, they would use one third of their resources.
And to help Jiang Hao make better use of the resources, they gave him a token of the Great Elder.
Hoping to help Jiang Hao.
As Jiang Hao received the token, Jing Yucheng patted Jing Dajiang on the back of his head, saying, “Come here and greet the Great Elder.”
Saying this, Jing Dajiang knelt down and gave a loud kowtow, saying, “Greetings, Great Elder.”
Looking at the token in hand, then looking toward Jing Dajiang in front of him.
Jiang Hao felt like he was hit by karma.
All the causes had now turned into an undeniable effect.
Originally, Jing Dajiang gambled the entire fate of the Western Astronomical Academy to help him ascend.
Now, the young him was kneeling before him.
