âAt first, I did try to explore, but I didnât find anything,â Shang An said. âWhen I tried to enter during the day, I felt that my lifeblood was constantly being absorbed. I couldnât find anything at all. Itâs like an endless abyss here that devours everything.â
...
âAbsorbing lifeblood?â Jiang Hao thought about it but couldnât figure anything out. Although curious, he had no intention of trying it out. Some dangers are best avoided if possible. Less curiosity meant less danger.
Unless some danger arises while heâs mining, then heâll have to pay attention.
The Corpse Realm gave him the feeling that many places here were dangerous but generally safe the rest of the time. He didnât know why.
Someone came out to greet Jiang Hao at the fork in the road.
A charming figure, like a white light, landed on Shang An. She hugged him.
âShang An, youâre here. Iâve been thinking about you all day. Did you miss me?â
âYes, I did.â Shang An nodded.
She held him even tighter and then turned to Jiang Hao. âDo you want me to hug you too? Sweet-talk to me a little, and next time, I might give you a hug too.â
Jiang Hao ignored her and said to Shang An, âIâm going left, Senior. Youâre going right?â
Shang An nodded.
âIn that case, I wonât disturb you,â Jiang Hao said and headed to the left.
âShang An, letâs ignore him. Letâs go to the little room. Tonight, we can try a different position.â
Jiang Hao heard them as they left.
âKeep your voice down. Itâs easy to be overheard,â Shang An said.
âWhat are you afraid of? Itâs not like weâre doing something wrong. Weâre partners,â the Charm Goddess said.
âPartners?â
âDonât you want me?â
âI doâŠâ
âIn that case, take me out of here. Iâll give you a child first. A son, maybe. Iâm afraid a daughter will tempt you just like me in the future. Oh, your body⊠We need your true body to make a child.â
âBut my body⊠Itâs a bitâŠâ
âA bit what? A bit handsome? A bit likable? Anyway, I want your true body. Otherwise, you canât touch me. You can only touch this illusionary body. Is that okay? Otherwise, Iâll feel rejected.â
âNo, how could that be? Alright, when the time comesâŠâ
Jiang Hao couldnât hear their voices anymore. But he didnât know how to talk with Shang An.
Whatâs wrong with him? Why was he being so stupid when it came to the Charm Goddess?
âI donât understand.â
Jiang Hao arrived at the mining location and swung his hoe to continue gathering bubbles.
In the middle of the night, he suddenly smelled a familiar fragrance. He turned around.
âIâve been quietly watching you mine. Why are you always so scared?â said the Charm Goddess with a smile.
Jiang Hao looked at her and continued mining without a word.
âAre you uncomfortable when Shang An and I are together?â she asked.
Before Jiang Hao could respond, she said, âIâm angry with you, thatâs why Iâm deliberately provoking you. Otherwise, I wouldnât be so obvious about it. If you want me to treat you nicely, thatâs a bit difficult for me. I promised Shang An to treat him better than others because he doesnât dislike me. I wonât break my promise, so I wonât lie to you either.â
Jiang Hao paused for a moment and then said, âIf you stay away from me, perhaps I wonât kill you.â
âYouâre really heartless,â she said. âThen how about you punish me? Anything is fine.â
Jiang Hao unsheathed his saber. The Charm Goddess was beheaded again.
The decapitated head of the woman on the ground glared at him. âYou heartless b*stard! I donât believe thereâs any normal woman in this world who cares about you.â
Hong Yuye flashed through Jiang Haoâs mind. She might care about him, but she wasnât really ânormal.â
Jiang Hao chuckled and continued mining.

One week later, Heavenly Stele Mountain appeared once again.
This time, it was in the Primordial Spirit region.
Yun Qi and Lan Qian stood at the foot of Heavenly Stele Mountain.
âThis time itâs the Primordial Spirit region. I wonder what area it will be next time,â Yun Qi said with a smile.
âThe summoning is still ongoing, which means that the person still hasnât appeared. The summoning is even stronger than before. With such a strong summoning coupled with the Three Elements Array, thereâs no reason the person couldnât find their way.â Lan Qian frowned. âIs this extraordinary genius intentionally avoiding us?â
âAn extraordinary genius avoiding us?â Yun Qi was quite surprised. âIsnât Heavenly Stele Mountain said to be the core of all opportunities? How could someone avoid that?â
âI donât know⊠Maybe something has delayed him,â Lan Qian said. They proceeded forward. They didnât stop at the first stone tablet they encountered, nor did they stop at the second.
âHow many stone tablets do you want to see?â Lan Qian asked.
Yun Qi thought for a moment. âThe sixth one. What do you think about it,
Senior Sister?â
âItâs nothing special. The sixth stone monument doesnât have anything extraordinary.â Lan Qian shook her head.
âIn that case, we should go there. Sometimes, the lack of something extraordinary might be the most extraordinary thing,â Yun Qi said seriously.
When they arrived at the sixth stone tablet, they stopped and stood before it.
âIs this the sixth stone tablet?â Yun Qi asked, looking at the plain-looking monument.
The size and style of the stone tablet were ordinary. However, it didnât dampen Yun Qiâs interest. As he looked at the stone tablet, he saw an ordinary phrase written on it: âCalm your mind and spirit, and you will see heaven and earth.â
âGive it a try. They say this stone tablet is relatively easy to comprehend something from, â Lan Qian said calmly.
Yun Qi nodded. He closed his eyes and began to comprehend it. In an instant, he seemed to resonate with the stone tablet. Soon, he saw heaven and earth. He felt as if he were standing within the universe.
âAnd then?â Yun Qi waited for a long time. It might have been a day or a week. He couldnât tell. But that was all. He couldnât get anything more.
âTruly calm your mind and spirit, and you will see heaven and earth.â
Finally, he woke up. When he looked at the person beside him, he felt a special aura emanating from them.
Then, Lan Qian opened her eyes. Her eyes had some text flowing within them.
âSenior Sister, did you comprehend it too?â Yun Qi was astonished.
âAlmost. By refining it here for a while, I should be able to fully comprehend its contents,â Lan Qian said calmly.
âHow?â Yun Qi asked curiously.
âItâs a technique,â Lan Qian said.
âPlease teach me, Senior Sister.â
âTeach you?â Lan Qian was silent for a while. âWhat do I get in return?â
âWhat do you want? If thereâs something you want to learn or if thereâs someone you donât like, I can help,â Yun Qi said earnestly.
It seemed like he could handle anything.
âThen letâs wait a while. If I need something, Iâll let you know,â Lan Qian said.
âNo problem. Where do we go now?â Yun Qi asked.
âRefine for a few more days, then letâs go take a look at Thirty-Six Heavenly Stars. They say that if we get close, we can see some extraordinary things. The more comprehension we have, the faster our cultivation will progress,â Lan Qian said..
