Chapter 233: Last Glimmer of Light
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
At night, Jiang Hao checked his surroundings and began cultivating.
...
After more than a year of accumulation, he was finally able to advance.
If everything went smoothly, he would be able to reach the middle stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm. He would temporarily surpass Liu Xingchen.
However, he needed to be wary of Bai Ye.
In the past two days, he had assessed his own situation and tested all kinds of powers. There were no issues at all.
Unfortunately, Hong Yuye hadnāt visited for seven months. Otherwise, Jiang Hao could have had some security.
He emptied his mind of all thoughts and began to advance. His spiritual energy surged within his body.
The Hong Meng Heart Sutra circulated and nourished his body. It allowed his spiritual energy to flow through his meridians and ultimately feed his Primordial Spirit Realm.
There was some tingling sensation during the breakthrough, but it was a
normal phenomenon.
After enduring for a moment, Jiang Hao felt as if a great door had blasted open, and a new power began to condense.
āIāve reached the middle stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm!ā
It had happened sooner than he expected. His Primordial Spirit Realm capabilities had helped him advance easily.
Frequently collecting bubbles and possessing Primordial Spirit divine abilities made his situation far superior to others of the same level.
Liu Xingchenās advancement was also fast. Perhaps it was because he devoured the souls of those who possessed him. He might also possess divine abilities.
Jiang Hao didnāt know much about his abilities, so it was difficult to speculate.
He closed his eyes again and planned to use the remaining points to refine his cultivation.
The next morning, Jiang Hao activated the Reappearance of the Hidden Spirit ability.
Once his cultivation recovered, he stored the stacks on his wrist guards.
He also took out the Half-Moon Blade to refine it.
He didnāt go to the Spirit Herb Garden the entire day. He only got up and headed there near dusk to collect some bubbles and check on the spirit herbs.
After returning to his courtyard, he used the Heaven Secrets Hidden Talisman. It concealed his aura.
As expected, there were people spying on him in secret.
Judging from their aura, their cultivation shouldnāt be that powerful.
However, he didnāt probe because he didnāt want them to sense him. It seemed that they all had treasures to conceal their presence.
After a long time, the spies disappeared.
After informing the spirit beast that he would go to the Spirit Herb Garden tomorrow, he went into the house.
He sensed the aura of Xiao Liās sub-ring and then sat cross-legged on the floor.
At this moment, he was still nurturing the Half-Moon Blade.
Late at night, he disappeared from the spot.
Huangsha River.
Yuxia Village.
The moon shone brightly in the sky, and a silver veil descended from above, enveloping the small, peaceful village.
Occasionally, a dogās bark could be heard from a distance. Mostly, there were sounds of crickets chirping at night.
In a corner of the village, a small courtyard was still illuminated.
āMother, Iām going to sleep. Tomorrow, Iāll go to the river to catch fish with Father for you,ā said a girlās voice.
āAlright, go to sleep. You wonāt be able to wake up tomorrow if you sleep late.ā āTell me the story about the Sea God,ā said the girlās voice after a while.
āOkay.ā
After a while, the story ended. The girl didnāt respond. She must have fallen asleep.
At this moment, a figure appeared in the courtyard. His appearance didnāt alarm anyone.
āIs this the place?ā Jiang Hao glanced at the courtyard and turned away.
He had no intention of disturbing the people living there. He walked out of the courtyard and saw Cheng Chou. He was digging underneath a tree.
Jiang Hao didnāt disturb him.
After some time, Jiang Hao walked to the farthest part of the mountain and sat cross-legged under a tree. He attracted danger, so he wanted to see if the Heaven Secrets Hidden Talisman really worked to hide him from other peopleās eyes.
If he failed, someone would probably notice him. There was a chance he could escape their attacks if he moved fast enough.
He was fully prepared. He would kill anyone who attacked him. If the enemy was stronger than him, he would stall for time and teleport to his house in the sect.
This way, he wouldnāt have to involve Xiao Li and the others.
Until dawn, Jiang Hao didnāt sense any danger. He was safe for now.
When he was heading toward the village, he saw an elderly man with a bamboo basket coming out of Xiao Liās house.
The old man had a slightly bent back, dark skin, and a face full of wrinkles.
Jiang Hao frowned. After a second of thought, he walked toward him.
His footsteps attracted the old manās attention.
āYoung man, are you looking for directions? Are you lost?ā asked the old man with concern.
Jiang Hao shook his head. āJust passing by. I wanted to take a stroll through this area. What are you here for?ā
āIām going to dig for some bamboo shoots,ā the old man said.
āPlease let me accompany you, ā said Jiang Hao.
The old man nodded. The young man looked formidable and was polite. If he were here to attack him, then he wouldnāt be able to escape anyway.
āAlright.ā
Then the two of them walked toward the mountains.
āAre you feeling alright?ā asked Jiang Hao. āWhy do you want to go so far for bamboo shoots? What about your family?ā
The old man chuckled. āIāve been bedridden for half a month. My daughter keeps saying that the bamboo shoots I pick taste good. Today, I feel much better. I thought I would search for some bamboo shoots in the mountains.ā āIt seems you really love your daughter.ā
āSheās mischievous, but sheās really well-behaved,ā said the old man proudly.
āWhat about your other children?ā Jiang Hao asked.
The old man shook his head helplessly. āWho knows? Maybe they donāt want to take care of us anymore, or maybe they are already dead.ā
The old man stopped in front of a bamboo grove and was about to start digging.
āIāll do it. Iāve never done this before, but Iāve always wanted to try,ā Jiang Hao said. He smiled and took the hoe from the old manās hands.
āBut itās inconvenient for you, young man,ā said the old man.
āThatās alright. I donāt mind. Do you have any regrets in your life?ā asked Jiang Hao as he dug the soil.
āOf course.ā The old man laughed. āWho lives without regrets? I feel like Iāve spent most of my life either regretting or feeling remorse.ā
āLife has been tough, hasnāt it?ā Jiang Hao glanced at the calluses on the old manās hands.
The old man leaned against the bamboo and chuckled. āCanāt be helped⦠Everyone lives a life full of struggles. Iām curious about the lives of rich people in the city. I wonder what kind of hoe they use for farmingā¦ā
āGolden ones?ā liang Hao said
The old man laughed heartily. āThe rich folks donāt farm. They make others do it for them.ā
Jiang Hao smiled and then dug out a bamboo shoot.
āPlease dig out one more. Iām going to save it for my daughter.ā
Jiang Hao took the bamboo basket. āOf course. I have plenty of time.ā
As he watched the old manās vitality seemingly burning its last flame, Jiang Hao couldnāt help but sigh..
