Chapter 767: Heavenly King Hai Luo’s Realization
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The arrival of Mi Lingyue surprised Jiang Hao.
He was curious about how she came to be here.
Logically, she wouldn’t have been captured. However, if she had come here voluntarily, it would be strange.
The Heavenly Note Sect wouldn’t object as long as they could earn some spirit stones.
Everyone knew about the price of entry here: regression of cultivation.
Falling back to the Primordial Spirit Realm was inevitable.
There were no cultivators beyond the Primordial Spirit Realm on the fifth floor.
The price for being here was self-evident.
It would impact one’s cultivation greatly unless one were in the Primordial Spirit Realm to begin with.
However, normal Primordial Spirit Realm cultivators couldn’t maintain their cultivation on the fifth floor.
Most of these people could maintain it by controlling their strength and resisting the influence of the Lawless Tower.
Among them, Zhuang Yuzhen was exceptional. He managed to stay stable solely through his own means.
Heavenly King Hai Luo knew how to take advantage of his situation, so the suppression of his cultivation wasn’t very severe.
Bi Zhu felt astonished looking at the six people.
There were quite a few people on this floor.
If it had been earlier, she would have certainly explored thoroughly. But now that Jiang Hao was here, it seemed unlikely.
If she had known that the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl would be here where she was, she definitely wouldn’t have visited.
Although it made no difference whether the person was here or not when it erupted, it was still a consolation when one couldn’t see the pearl in front of them.
She felt strange. If this person somehow was emotionally unstable, they would all die.
But why would the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl be given to this person for safekeeping? It was perplexing.
However, it wasn’t worth investigating further. Provoking this person wouldn’t be good for anyone present.
This person might not be able to break the seal anyway.
But what if he could?
Bi Zhu sighed. It was best to finish what they came for and leave quietly. It wasn’t good to stay here for long.
She looked at the six people and tried to guess which one was Yin Zichen.
The sudden arrival of so many people piqued the curiosity of the six captives. There hadn’t been many visiting the tower the entire year. Today, so many had come at once.
Jiang Hao remained in the back and didn’t do anything much.
He knew that these two people had come to release someone, and it seemed Yin Zichen had voluntarily given up his Sword Heart.
Otherwise, the Lawless Tower wouldn’t release anyone. Otherwise, they would have to face the Mountain Sea Sword Sect.
They definitely wouldn’t provoke them.
“Yin Zichen…” Yinsha looked toward the fifth prison cell.
She had a feeling that he was about to be released. Indeed, she was right.
He returned the Sword Heart, so he still had a chance to escape in the future.
Bi Zhu and Qiao Yi both looked at him.
Bi Zhu couldn’t recognize the person. She turned to Qiao Yi. “Auntie Qiao, take a look. Is this the person?”
“Probably,” Qiao Yi said with some difficulty. “I was still young back then, so I don’t remember him very clearly.”
Bi Zhu looked helpless. She then approached the cell with Qiao Yi.
“Senior, I have a question for you. If your answer satisfies me, I’ll release you from here. If not, I won’t,” Bi Zhu said.
“Go on.” Yin Zichen nodded.
He felt that the young girl in front of him was quite unusual.
“Do you recognize this person?” Bi Zhu pushed Qiao Yi forward.
The latter felt a bit embarrassed.
Yin Zichen looked at her for a long time before shaking his head. “I’m sorry. I don’t recognize you.”
Qiao Yi was filled with anticipation in the beginning, but now, she looked deflated.
“I worked at the library of the Heavenly Spirit Tribe back then,” Qiao Yi said.
“The library? Outside the Heavenly Spirit Tribe?” Yin Zichen frowned. “The little girl who wanted to leave?”
“Sorry, I still don’t remember your name.” Yin Zichen shook his head.
“It’s alright. I understand,” Qiao Yi said.
“Alright. Come with us,” Bi Zhu said.
Since they hadn’t made a mistake, everything was alright.
“You’re not considering staying here longer?” Mi Lingyue asked.
Yin Zichen was speechless.
What kind of situation would make someone consider staying in a place like this?
Jiang Hao stood at the side and didn’t pay much attention to these people.
If Yin Zichen left, it was good. There were too many people here.
At some point, the Lawless Tower had begun housing so many people.
Initially, there was only Zhuang Yuzhen. Then, the Heavenly King arrived.
The number of people should have decreased, but Heavenly King Hai Luo broke everyone’s expectations by voluntarily ending up in the tower once more.
Mi Lingyue had also come to stay here voluntarily.
She probably wanted to escape the control of the Great Thousand God Sect.
It was uncertain if she could detect the core of the mental control technique in this place.
“Come with me,” Yinsha said as she escorted Yin Zichen, Qiao Yi, and Bi Zhu out.
Jiang Hao watched them leave the fifth floor. Yin Zichen hadn’t looked at him at all when all this happened.
He probably didn’t want to attract any unnecessary attention.
Once they left, Jiang Hao finally breathed a sigh of relief. Bi Zhu was too dangerous.
She Imew a lot more than the average person. It could easily bring trouble upon herself and him.
Moreover, these people had extraordinary cultivation realms. Once they sensed something wasn’t right, it would be troublesome.
“Senior, here’s your wine and meat.” Jiang Hao placed the things in front of Zhuang Yuzhen.
“It’s been a long time since you last came here,” Zhuang Yuzhen said.
“Yeah. I’ve been cultivating,” Jiang Hao said.
Junior Brother Han Ming hadn’t advanced in a long time, so Jiang Hao had to maintain his cultivation realm.
It should be about time now.
However, it seemed like the seat of the tenth top disciple had been reclaimed by Manlong.
Perhaps in a few more years, Manlong would enter the Soul Ascension Realm. By then, Junior Brother Han Ming would need to reach the peak of the Primordial Spirit Realm.
It might take a while, but striving for the seat of the top disciple could fully display his excellence.
When Junior Brother Han Ming reached the late stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm, Jiang Hao could pretend to make it to the Soul Ascension Realm.
That way, he could contend for the position of the tenth top disciple.
However, there was no rush.
His strength was still not enough to protect himself.
“You’re going to the Corpse Realm?” Zhuang Yuzhen asked.
Jiang Hao nodded.
“I don’t have much to teach you this time. You’ve already been inside once.” Zhuang Yuzhen shook his head.
“Do you know where there are mines inside?” Jiang Hao asked softly.
Zhuang Yuzhen was puzzled.
There were indeed many mines inside, but who would go in just to mine for ores?
It might be better to seek an opportunity to advance to a new realm instead. That was the primary purpose of entering the Corpse Realm.
Mining ores would take a lot of time, and these areas were usually very dangerous.
Even after a few months of mining, the profits were usually not that great.
“What areas are you interested in?” Zhuang Yuzhen asked.
“Tell me about all of them,” Jiang Hao said calmly.
“The Foundation Establishment area, the Golden Core area, and the Soul
Ascension area. I Imow of three places., I won’t mention much about the Foundation Establishment area. It’s easy to find. Just look at the highest mountain, then go down, close to the tail end. The Golden Core area is in the Stargazing Stone Forest, which is located near the highest mountain rock. Obvious opportunities are hidden here, but the ores may have already been mined. The Soul Ascension area is in the Thousand Feet Mountain, with ores at the lowest slope. Only a few people know about it. Although it’s possible for Golden Core Realm cultivators to mine there, it’s a barren area, so only a few would search for opportunities there,” Zhuang Yuzhen said.
Jiang Hao nodded and quietly noted it down.
There was no need to visit the Foundation Establishment area because he had already mined there before. Although it might be riskier, the Soul Ascension area might have better ores.
He wasn’t too sure whether the Heavenly Stele Mountain would summon him this time.
Logically, it shouldn’t happen again.
He could only hope that the Heavenly Stele Mountain would appear nearby so he could mine and wipe the stone.
He was really looking forward to the latter.
After that, he asked more questions about any sea that could be found inside.
“There is…” Zhuang Yuzhen thought for a while. “The Corpse Sea. It is similar to the Heavenly Stele Mountain. It’s not fixed in one place but appears in certain areas.”
“Which areas?” Jiang Hao was quite curious.
He felt something strange about the Corpse Realm’s situation.
Many things could suddenly disappear and reappear.
However, if the Corpse Sea wasn’t fixed, then were the shores of the Corpse Sea constant?
That was also a question he wanted to ask.
“The more barren the area, the easier it is for the Corpse Sea to appear. The Foundation Establishment area, Primordial Spirit area, and the Soul Ascension area… These three areas have the highest possibility,” Zhuang Yuzhen said earnestly.
Jiang Hao thought about it and realized he hadn’t noticed the presence of a sea during his previous visits.
However, the sea wasn’t important right now.
His main purpose was to mine and to find the Heavenly Stele Mountain.
He wanted to make sure he could Advance to the Immortal Ascension Platform before he left the Corpse Realm this time.
However, advancement also meant risks.
The consequences were unpredictable.
He listened to Zhuang Yuzhen explain more about the situation and then turned to Hai Luo.
“I haven’t said anything!” Heavenly King Hai Luo said hurriedly.
Jiang Hao appraised him.
Jiang Hao wanted to see if Heavenly King Hai Luo’s purpose had changed. He hadn’t initiated a conversation with him, so Jiang Hao didn’t know if he could get accurate information from the appraisal.
[Hai Luo: One of the Twelve Heavenly Kings of the Heavenly River, whose cultivation was absorbed and dissolved by the Lawless Tower. He is left with the peak of the Primordial Spirit Realm. The fortune of the Heavenly King has begun to fluctuate, and there’s a possibility of it being absorbed by the others. He escaped to the Lawless Tower to separate the Heavenly King’s Fortune from his body and transfer it to Miao Anxian in the hopes of rescuing her. With Heavenly King Mu Longyu’s visit, he seems to understand that the fortune he already has offers him the possibility of achieving the Immortal Ascension
Platform.]
Jiang Hao was somewhat surprised.
Hai Luo had no such thoughts before. But after meeting Mu Longyu, he seemed to realize something.
He truly adored Miao Anxian.
It was a pity that there had been no news about her until now, and it was uncertain whether she had already died in the Abyssal Sea. Once inside the Abyssal Sea, almost no one could come out.
Miao Anxian had an ill fortune.
Was Hai Luo’s sacrifice worth it?
Perhaps this was what was called infatuation.
In a remote and ancient mountain area, the trees changed rapidly in the forest.
One side was withering, but the other side was vibrant.
In the middle, there stood a mountain. At the foot of the mountain was an altar.
An old man at the center of the altar opened his eyes.
There was a trace of blood at the corner of his eye.
“I caught a glimpse, but there was no clarity,” he said as he looked down. “This girl, Jiang Xiao Li, indeed has issues. It’s not unexpected that those looking for her have ended up dead. Now that the immortal seed is about to sprout, it requires special blood for watering. Perhaps Jiang Xiao Li might suffice. Her peculiarity eludes my insight. Her appearance in the Heavenly Note Sect must be an accident. Go. Bring her here.”
The people below nodded in agreement.
It was not difficult for them to abduct someone from the Heavenly Note Sect..
