Chapter 777: The Infinite Sword

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After finishing wiping the last Earth Seal, Jiang Hao headed toward the thirty-six Heavenly Constellation Spirits.

However, after he left, many people noticed that something was amiss.

They didn’t realize that their perception had been played with, but they noticed that the stone stele before them was cleaner than before.

What was going on?

Several people looked around but found nothing. They just dismissed the matter.

By this time, Jiang Hao had reached the first stone stele of the Heavenly Constellation Spirits.

Guan Zhongfei was there.

He stood in front of the first stone stele with his brows furrowed.

He was the only one there.

Jiang Hao didn’t use his divine ability but walked over to him.

Guan Zhongfei looked at the newcomer. Then, he immediately moved aside.

The first Heavenly Constellation Spirits’ stone stele had some words written on it: “Fishing for Moon in the Well.”

Jiang Hao was speechless.

Why was Heavenly Stele Mountain obsessed with wells?

Jiang Hao’s name was “Jing” in the gathering, which meant wells. He was quite sensitive to that.

He always felt it was somehow related to him.

Apart from these words, there was nothing else on the stone stele.

‘It’s empty… Fishing for the moon in the well means rushing toward something that doesn’t exist… Does it mean that this stone stele has nothing inside?’

Jiang Hao stood there and stared at it for a while.

In the end, he decided to start wiping it.

This sudden move surprised Guan Zhongfei.

Jiang Hao didn’t care about him and continued wiping the stone stele.

Soon, bubbles started dropping.

[Cultivation +1]

[Spirit +1]

It wasn’t much but passable.

After a while, he reluctantly left.

As the sole spectator, Guan Zhongfei was somewhat bewildered.

He couldn’t understand what the person in front of him was doing.

He suddenly thought of a possibility.

‘Could it be that “Fishing for the Moon in the Well” means reaching out? Is he cleaning the stone stele to tell me to make contact?’ Otherwise, why would someone do this?

Guan Zhongfei felt that the explanation was highly likely.

He approached the stone stele and reached out. He sensed something.

Soon, he felt that his hand had pierced through something.

Then, he saw a figure. He held the sun and moon in his hands and plucked the stars in the sky.

Jiang Hao arrived at the second stone stele of the Heavenly Constellation Spirits.

There were several people there, but they were all in a state of meditation.

Outsiders usually found it challenging to interfere during this state.

So, Jiang Hao felt at ease and began to wipe the stele clean.

Further ahead, the stone steles had less dirt on them.

There were some bubbles, but rarely any blue ones.

It was alright. There were still thirty-six steles left.

Since the time he had entered Heavenly Stele Mountain, he was only 180 bubbles away from ascension. The gap was gradually narrowing.

The higher he went, the fewer people he saw.

The last fifteen stone steles had no one.

However, what surprised Jiang Hao was that he hadn’t seen the young man with restrained sword intent all the way up.

He didn’t know which stone stele he had gone to.

He arrived at the thirty-fifth Heavenly Constellation Spirit’s stele and found no one there.

‘He went all the way to the top…’

Jiang Hao was surprised.

For the previous hundred and seven steles, no one was there, so it must be the last stone stele that everyone wanted to reach.

Those who could reach that point were geniuses.

Zhuang Yuzhen had also gone up but left no trace. ‘I wonder if that person will leave something behind.’

Jiang Hao was puzzled but also very excited.

Before, when he had wiped it, he had gotten all blue bubbles.

Without thinking too much, Jiang Hao arrived at the thirty-fifth stone stele and started wiping. [Cultivation +1]

[Lifeblood +1]

Seeing two blue bubbles dropping at once, Jiang Hao felt that he might be about to advance.

However, halfway through wiping, no blue bubbles appeared.

It was regrettable.

Fortunately, some more appeared later.

After he finished, Jiang Hao headed toward the top.

There must be someone up there. He didn’t know if the person was in meditation.

At the peak of Heavenly Stele Mountain, a young man silently gazed at the stone stele before him.

He wasn’t in a hurry to comprehend anything, especially since he had a feeling that someone was approaching from behind.

After a while, footsteps sounded from behind.

Two people stood in front of the last stone stele. This was a rare occurrence.

The young man turned to look at Jiang Hao.

“I didn’t expect it to be you,” the young man said slowly. Jiang Hao felt helpless. The person seemed to be in a daze.

“Do you know me, friend?” he asked.

“No. I’ve only seen you down below and felt that you’re somewhat extraordinary,” the man said.

Jiang Hao nodded slightly. He was unsure of what to do.

The person was alert, and any rashness would be disastrous.

“I’m Jian Wuji from the Mountain Sea Sword Sect,” said Jian Wuji politely.

“Smiling San Sheng.” Jiang Hao bowed.

Jian Wuji looked at the person in front of him. “We are in the same realm and can reach the highest peak, so I have an unfortunate request.” “Please do tell me, friend, ” Jiang Hao said courteously.

“I want to test your strength.

Jiang Hao shook his head.

He didn’t intend to fight. He had only come here to wipe the stele clean.

Jian Wuji made a move, and a pitch-black sword fell to the ground. “This

Infinite Sword is part of the Mountain Sea Sword Sect’s Seven Extreme Sky Swords. If you win against me, you can take it away.”

“What if I lose?” Jiang Hao asked.

“Then, either leave the mountain or leave behind something of equal value,” Jian Wuji said.

“And what if I refuse?” Jiang Hao asked again.

‘My sword’s intent won’t attack, but it will compel you to fight me, ” Jian Wuji said earnestly.

Jiang Hao sighed. “Shall we start then?”

“Of course.” Jian Wuji nodded.

In an instant, the blade intent erupted, and the sword intent surged.

After just a few clashes, the sword intent receded, and the blade intent disappeared.

At that moment, Jiang Hao appeared in front of Jian Wuji.

The two looked at each other.

Jiang Hao walked to the side of the Infinite Sword, raised his sword, and walked toward the stone tablet.

As he spoke, Jian Wuji realized that he was injured between his eyebrows. Blood trickled down.

His eyes looked as though they had lost their light. “This is…” “The Heavenly Blade,” Jiang Hao said calmly.

“Why didn’t you kill me?” Jian Wuji’s aura began to recede.

He hadn’t held back.

“We aren’t of the same era. Your time hasn’t come yet. Such a person dying under the Heavenly Blade would be a shame,” Jiang Hao said.

Jian Wuji was indeed strong.

Their paths were different, but it wasn’t necessary to sever their connection just because of a match.

With a thud, Jian Wuji fell to the ground and lost consciousness.

Jiang Hao didn’t exert too much force. He just ensured that Jian Wuji wouldn’t be causing trouble for a while.

In fact, Jiang Hao had the advantage of being in a higher realm. He had won unfairly.

Jiang Hao impaled the Infinite Sword into the ground and left a note with it:

“Those destined may obtain it.”

After that, he began wiping the stone stele clean..
