Chapter 724: The Demonic Sect Is Quite Straightforward

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Jiang Hao missed the peaceful life he had lived in these past few months.

He never expected that the arrival of the Mountain Sea Sword Sect would affect him this much.

Today, he received an order from his master to go meet someone.

At first, the instruction didn’t seem that important, but he later found out that someone from the Mountain Sea Sword Sect was looking for him. This took him by surprise.

Shortly after, Jiang Hao arrived at his master’s courtyard. There were only a few people present, including his master, Ku Wu Chang, and three others.

One of them looked somewhat familiar, while the other two were entirely unknown to Jiang Hao, but they seemed quite powerful.

“Master.” Jiang Hao bowed.

“Middle stage of the Golden Core Realm?” Zhuge Zheng was astonished and found it somewhat unbelievable.

He had just recently advanced to the Golden Core Realm himself, thanks to the fortuitous encounter with the Xuanyuan Sword.

Otherwise, he would still be at the early stage of the Golden Core Realm.

Jiang Hao looked at him and remembered something. This man owed him some spirit stones.

“Friend Zhuge?” Jiang Hao said.

“When did you reach the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm?” Zhuge Zheng asked.

“A while ago. I was lucky,” Jiang Hao said awkwardly. He hadn’t expected that Zhuge Zheng would focus on his cultivation progress. It was something he preferred not to talk about.

“But…” Zhuge Zheng hesitated but didn’t say anything more.

Being lucky didn’t always result in such rapid advancement, but everyone had their own unique opportunities.

This kind of rapid progress was indeed quite remarkable and not as apparent at first glance.

“These are the spirit stones I owe you, including the interest. It totals up to three thousand.” Zhuge Zheng handed over the spirit stones.

Jiang Hao felt delighted. “Thank you,” he said and returned the item Zhuge Zheng had left as collateral.

He thought it would take much longer for him to retrieve his spirit stones.

First, he had to be strong enough even to visit the Mountain Sea Sword Sect.

However, to his surprise, Zhuge Zheng paid him the spirit stones after just over a decade, which was a stroke of good fortune right now.

The Mountain Sea Sword Sect was located in the northern region, and the Divine Corpse Sect was also in the north. While the Heavenly Note Sect had a cooperative relationship with the Divine Corpse Sect, there was still a grudge between the two. The northern region had already become a dangerous place, and there was no reason to go there.

Jiang Hao thought that he would have to wait until he was strong enough to visit the Mountain Sea Sword Sect and retrieve the spirit stones. Little did he expect that Zhuge Zheng would visit him and return it.

“Then, can you show us around?” Zhuge Zheng asked.

The four of them walked along the riverside in the Cliff of Broken Hearts.

“What’s your name? Jiang Hao?” Fu Dongxue asked.

“Yes.” Jiang Hao nodded.

“You don’t need to be so formal with us,” Fu Dongxue said.

Although he agreed, he continued to show the same level of respect as before. He didn’t dare to be arrogant in front of a senior like her, especially when she was someone from the Mountain Sea Sword Sect.

“Do you have any Corpse Realm Flowers here?” Zhuge Zheng asked.

“Yes.” Jiang Hao nodded.

“Can we take a look?” Fu Dongxue asked.

“Sure.” Jiang Hao nodded.

He took them to Mu Qi’s house. The flowers were planted there. The flowers had shoots and leaves for now, but no flowers bloomed yet. They didn’t know when they would bloom.

“It is indeed the Corpse Realm Flower!” Fu Dongxue examined the flowers and frowned slightly.

“What’s wrong?” Jiang Hao asked. “It’s about to bloom,” Fu Dongxue said.

“About to bloom?” Jiang Hao was surprised.

“You went inside the Corpse Realm with someone before, right? Who was it?” asked Zhuge Zheng.

“The Divine Corpse Sect,” Jiang Hao said truthfully.

“In that case, the people from the Divine Corpse Sect will be here soon.” Zhuge Zheng smiled.

Jiang Hao thanked him.

He hadn’t expected the Corpse Realm Flower to bloom again.

In that case, he might also try to see if he could enter once again.

There was a subsidiary realm inside the flower with a Sub-Realm seal. However, this time, the blooming of the Corpse Realm Flower might stir up some waves.

The arrival of the Divine Corpse Sect had caused quite a commotion before.

Then, Jiang Hao remembered the conversation he had overheard in the Corpse Realm, which he still didn’t fully understand, even though he had learned the language of the Heavenly Spirit Tribe.

‘Maybe I can try asking Nangong Yue or Gui later…’

Nangong Yue was a member of the Heavenly Spirit Tribe, and Gui had someone with her who knew a lot about the Heavenly Spirit Tribe’s history. “Do you know about the Lawless Tower?” Zhuge Zheng suddenly asked.

“I know a bit.” Jiang Hao nodded.

Jiang Hao remained vigilant. He was unsure of their intentions.

“Is it possible to get people out who have been captured?” Zhuge Zheng asked. “Yes.” Jiang Hao nodded.

“Really?” Zhuge Zheng and the others were somewhat surprised.

They were just asking casually and intended to consult with other people as well. After all, they would be staying here for quite some time.

“Could you explain the process in more detail?” Fu Dongxue asked. “We can also help with any cultivation difficulties. ”

After some thought, Jiang Hao began explaining the difficulties he was facing in cultivation, which were related to Cheng Chou.

Although he knew the answers to the questions, he wanted to see if there were more advanced insights.

“Is this a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator advancing toward the Golden Core Realm?” Fu Dongxue asked.

“Someone with those questions usually lacks natural talent. However, it’s not necessarily a bad thing. They’re following a path of solidifying their foundation. While it’s not bad, it’s also not ideal. To advance to the Golden Core Realm, there’s another crucial element—spiritual agility, also known as mental energy. I can teach you a breathing technique called ‘Sword Intent Breathing Method.’ It’s an energy cultivation method that stimulates the body but can cause pain for those at the Foundation Establishment Realm. These pains can be challenging to alleviate. Still, it can revitalize one’s foundation and increase the chances of advancing to the Golden Core Realm.”

She took out a book titled “Sword Intent Breathing Method.”

Jiang Hao was surprised. He thought this would be a simple exchange, but she gave him something valuable and provided insights on how to improve his chances of reaching the Golden Core Realm.

“Actually, entering the Lawless Tower isn’t a big deal. It is not life-threatening. Rescuing someone from there is quite easy,” Jiang Hao said.

“It’s easy?” This surprised the three of them.

They had learned that Yin Zichen was here and had entered the Lawless Tower. It was said to be a place for detaining serious offenders. They hadn’t expected that it would be so easy to rescue someone from there.

“Yes. It’s easy, especially if the person isn’t a target. As long as you have enough spirit stones, the Lawless Tower is more than willing to release them,” Jiang Hao said seriously.

“Just spirit stones are enough?” Zhuge Zheng asked. “Yes.” Jiang Hao nodded.

“Who should we contact?” Zhuge Zheng asked. “Elder Baizhi of the White Moon Lake,” Jiang Hao said.

“Is it possible to meet her directly?” Zhuge Zheng asked.

“Yes.”

“What do you call the process here?” Zhuge Zheng asked.

“Redemption.”

The three of them were quite surprised. ‘Redemption?’

The demonic sect was indeed very straightforward. This was beneficial to them. It meant that they could simply conduct a transaction. For example, if they couldn’t obtain information themselves, they could entrust the demonic sect to inquire on their behalf in exchange for spirit stones.

After that, the three of them bid farewell to Jiang Hao and began to plan their own affairs.

Jiang Hao felt relieved. It seemed that they wouldn’t keep an eye on him. He had also received the “Sword Intent Breathing Method,” which he could give to Cheng Chou. The Golden Core Realm was within his reach, after all.

Back at his residence, he took out the Leaf of Concealment. It might come in handy during his trip to the Corpse Realm..
