Chapter 479: Secretly Cultivating Behind Everyone’s Back

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“About the Heavenly Joy Pavilion?”

Jiang Hao was quite interested.

Within the sect, the most threatening person was the Pavilion Master.

Because a vessel had not been found, his anger wasn’t alleviated.

Although they hadn’t held back his resources again, it didn’t mean that everything was fine.

It was just that the other person hadn’t seen him lately and didn’t know he was doing well, so he paid no attention to him.

But if problems arose in his cultivation realm later, they would target him.

If the impact was significant, they would definitely seek retribution.

There was still hope now, and he didn’t want to violate the rules of the sect.

So, things were relatively calm for now.

However, the people in demonic sects were unpredictable and could act impulsively at any time.

This was one of the reasons why Jiang Hao refused to be taken out from the suspect list.

If he went out, the other person might act on impulse.

“In fact, it’s not a bad thing,” Liu Xingchen said seriously. “With your master’s help, the master of Heavenly Joy Pavilion has made it clear that he won’t trouble you for the time being. This applies whether you go out or not. During this time, your master will also find someone to help him find the vessel. Your master knows people outside, so his help is not small.”

Jiang Hao lowered his head. This was indeed of great help to him.

At least, he didn’t have to worry too much for the time being.

But he understood his master’s implications. Given his current speed of advancement and the sect’s achievements, he could become a True Disciple.

However, being on the Law Enforcement Hall’s suspect list provided a sense of security.

As long as he was on the list, he didn’t have to worry about being sent out. If he wanted to go out, he could just take on a mission.

That was the best option for him.

Although being a True Disciple came with many privileges, dangers still exist outside.

“Junior Brother Jiang, you should indeed consider whether to get out of the list and become a True Disciple. It’s very convenient during the sect’s operations, and you won’t be affected by trivial matters,” Liu Xingchen said. “The elevation of your status and position will also make the sect pay more attention to you and prevent others from troubling or sacrificing you.”

Jiang Hao sighed inwardly.

In fact, he was destined to come into contact with various traitors and undercover agents in the future.

Those people wanted to use him, and he wanted to use them too.

That will inevitably cause more suspicions in the future.

Being a True Disciple meant a higher status, and if they investigated him, wouldn’t it cause trouble?

“However, there are still quite a few people who want you on the list, like those from the Task Hall.” Liu Xingchen smiled.

Jiang Hao awkwardly smiled back.

He had given the Task Hall ten thousand spirit stones till now.

For a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator to pay ten thousand was like giving away their entire family wealth.

They certainly didn’t want him to be out of the list.

“Is the vessel really that hard to find?” Jiang Hao asked.

He had killed Senior Sister Yun Ruo at the age of nineteen, and he was now thirty-one years old.

ft•velve years have passed.

In twelve years, the sect hadn’t found a single vessel.

“Vessels do exist, but many of them are hard to find. You can’t tell just by looking at them.” Liu Xingchen sighed. “Sometimes, you might brush past an enchanting vessel and not even know that your target is right in front of you. It’s mostly about luck. That’s why it’s been twelve years, and they still haven’t found a suitable vessel.’

“Really?” Jiang Hao was puzzled.

“Other sects have them but snatching them would cause too much trouble. Moreover, if they happen to encounter a powerful vessel, it’ll be dangerous to provoke them,” Liu Xingchen said.

Jiang Hao nodded.

When the deadline arrived, the Master of the Heavenly Joy Pavilion might still take action.

If the attempt failed completely, he would be targeted.

“Do you know what happened at the mine, Senior Brother?” Jiang Hao asked.

“It seems that a bottomless abyss has appeared there, and they are currently filling it. It seems that quite a few people are trapped inside. It seems like the rumors are true. There might be treasures deep beneath the mine. However, the sect doesn’t seem to be in a hurry to go down. They’re just gradually excavating,” Liu Xingchen said.

Jiang Hao recalled that Hong Yuye had mentioned that an ancient battlefield might be buried beneath the mine.

If that was true, the malevolent aura and deathly air could disintegrate anyone who went in.

Only those strong enough would dare to go in and search for treasures.

After Liu Xingchen left, Jiang Hao started tending to the Spirit Herb Garden.

He waited for another person to come and meet him.

He waited for seven days.

Around mid-May, Jiang Hao looked at the confident Han Ming and said with a smile, “Junior Brother, you look even more remarkable than before.”

“Senior Brother, you only know how to hide in the Spirit Herb Garden. You don’t gain experience or work hard to cultivate. It’s inevitable that you’ll be surpassed by me,” Han Ming said as he gripped the sword in his hand. “Now, I have a new understanding from the Bright Moon Sect and have reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm. I’ve been constantly honing myself to reach the peak. I’d like to seek some advice from you, Senior

Brother.”

“Is this place suitable?” Jiang Hao asked.

“Now that both of us are at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm, aren’t you afraid your residence will be damaged if we spar here?”

Han Ming had fought Jiang Hao several times and understood the danger that he posed, Not caring about the house represented Jiang Hao’s confidence in his abilities.

“Senior brother, I advise you to reconsider, ” Han Ming said.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Hao moved a bit to the side to show respect. “How about here, Junior Brother?”

“I hope you won’t regret this later, Senior Brother,” Han Ming said without reservation.

The aura of the peak of Foundation Establishment Realm spread out, and the sword light flickered.

Clang!

Jiang Hao’s blade blocked Han Ming’s sword.

‘So fast.’

Jiang Hao was somewhat surprised.

Junior Brother Han Ming was indeed deserving of being a top disciple.

Even with his peak Foundation Establishment Realm, he felt somewhat challenged.

At this moment, Han Ming had unleashed several sword attacks in succession, but Jiang Hao remained in place and deflected all the attacks. When the fifth sword attack came, he swung his blade down.

Boom!

He used Demonic Sound Slash.

In the breath of a moment, the thunderous sword light shattered, and the blade swept across the earth. It left behind deep grooves in the ground.

At this moment, the sword fell to the ground, and the Half-Moon Blade was held against Han Ming’s neck.

Jiang Hao slowly sheathed his blade and said calmly, “Junior Brother, thank you for letting me win.”

“Golden… Golden Core?” Han Ming had been astonished before, but this time, he lost his composure. Jiang Hao had actually entered the Golden Core Realm.

It was far beyond what he had imagined.

“I guess I’m lucky enough to get promoted,” said Jiang Hao.

Han Ming gritted his teeth, picked up the fallen sword, and turned to leave.

The impact of reaching the Golden Core Realm might have been too much for Han Ming. Jiang Hao was concerned.

He appraised Han Ming.

[Han Ming: True Disciple of Heavenly Note Sect’s the Cliff of Broken Hearts.

His talent is top-notch. He is at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm. He is favored by the spirits of mountains and rivers and has the inheritance of a mighty figure. The divine art of Shifting Mountains and Reclaiming Seas was fully formed while observing the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment. He intended to defeat you with this move, but he never expected you to advance to the Golden Core Realm. He feels shocked and indignant. He is convinced that you, who secretly cultivated and honed yourself without seeking external challenges, will definitely not be his match in the future. He feels displeased and has decided to start on the path of advancement, defeat you squarely, and say, “I got lucky..”]
