The private conversation between Gui and Zhang did not take up much time at the gathering.
Jiang Hao welcomed this development, as it would help improve his impression in the eyes of others.
Otherwise, there would be many unfounded speculations and he might be exposed.
However, with various events adding to his image, things would be much better.
In the beginning, he had gone to great lengths to cultivate the image of a reclusive, powerful, and mysterious individual, which had made things easier for him today.
Zhang had just come out of seclusion, and she didn’t know anything about him.
The others, especially Gui, had asked some probing questions in the beginning, but that was not the case now. contemporary romance
Having someone explain his situation would improve his image in Zhang’s eyes. But listening to it felt a bit embarrassing because he knew that he wasn’t as remarkable as they made him out to be.
Many times, he had only been fortunate to achieve certain things. In reality, he was much weaker than the others at the gathering.
“What do you plan to do if the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl can’t be sealed?” Xing asked.
The only person at the gathering who had actually come into contact with the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl was Jiang Hao.
He was also the only one with any experience with these kinds of dangerous items. Since he had the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl, it was possible that only he could handle the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl.
The others were curious, including Zhang, and wanted to know what his plans were. She knew too little and needed to listen attentively.
‘Don’t look at me… What can I even do?’ Jiang Hao felt helpless.
Finally, he shook his head. This wasn’t something he could control.
The others understood his situation well. The Earth Extreme Silent Pearl was not something ordinary. It was incredibly challenging to seal it, let alone possess it. The difficulty was beyond their imagination.
“We should try to hinder The End of All Things. I heard that some members of the Saint Bandits have arrived overseas. We can provide them with information, and maybe they will take some action,” said Liu.
Gui and Xing also agreed to help pass on the information to hinder The End of All Things. That was all they could do.
As for the monstrous item itself, it would depend on Jing as he had said he would go in to investigate.
Zhang didn’t say anything. She really didn’t know what was going on.
Once they had settled that matter. Xing mentioned that the one with the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment had already set off.
“To the west?” Liu suddenly asked.
Xing nodded.
Jiang Hao was curious about how Liu knew about the one with the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment going to the West. He then realized it was likely related to Xing’s mission.
He also mentioned something about a Moon Wheel.
Did Chu Jie go to the west for the Moon Wheel?
Jiang Hao didn’t know what the Moon Wheel was. Unfortunately, Gui didn’t ask.
Zhang felt like she was out of touch with the world of cultivation.
She had never heard of the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment, the Grand
Earth Emperor, the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl, the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl, and the Nine Nether. These were not unfamiliar terms. They were legendary items.
People rarely mentioned them during normal conversations, and even when they did, few knew much about them. But now, it seemed like the gathering treated these topics casually as if they were simple matters.
What had happened in the world of cultivation to make her feel so out of place?
The discussion continued with a focus on The End of All Things, the Grand Earth Emperor, and the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment.
It was said that the one with the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment was entering the mortal world and would re-emerge. It would mark the day of their ascension to immortality. Reportedly, she had left alone.
After some time, the gathering concluded with Senior Dan Yuan’s reminder.
When Jiang Hao woke up, he took out a notebook and started recording the key points of the gathering:
Senior Dan Yuan mentioned the pages of an ancient book in the West.
A new participant, Zhang, seems to have extensive knowledge of various documents and is considered a formidable individual from the West.
Xing was searching for Zhang to find something related to the Moon Wheel, while Zhang was looking for someone in possession of an ancient and modern book.
Requested information from Senior Dan Yuan about the Corpse Realm and told him that the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl was about to manifest. On that note, I need to visit the Blood Pool.
The rest of the topics about the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment and The End of All Things were not explicitly recorded, as they didn’t seem to be very important.
After recording the information, Jiang Hao put the book away.
‘I wonder if there are any other individuals besides Zhang.’
He could have asked, but he didn’t want to ruin the image of a reclusive individual that he had built.
He would have to address that later. For now, the new information had stumped Zhang, so she might not probe too much into his business.
After that, Jiang Hao closed his eyes to rest and conserve his energy.
In a few days, he would confirm the status of the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl and continue with his days. The opening of the Corpse Realm didn’t concern him.
The next day, Jiang Hao went to the Spirit Herb Garden with the spirit beast.
During this period, the entire sect had been relatively quiet, likely because of the opportunities brought by Shang An. Many had secluded themselves to cultivate. There wasn’t much movement around.
At noon, while Jiang Hao was tending to the spirit herbs, the spirit beast was engaged in an animated conversation with Xiao Li. Cheng Chou was busy with his tasks.
Suddenly, a communication talisman flew in front of Jiang Hao. It was a message from the Lawless Tower.
‘It’s been a while since I last visited. I wonder what this is about.’ Jiang Hao was a bit surprised.
He talked to Cheng Chou and then walked toward the Lawless Tower.
Xiao Li asked if she should prepare his lunch, but Jiang Hao quickly declined.
Xiao Li’s lunches were something he could eat, but she had a habit of sometimes offering her own lunch to him. Fortunately, it wasn’t usually poisoned and was quite close by, so there was no need to worry.
A short while later, in front of the Lawless Tower, Jiang Hao saw two people at the gates: a man and a woman with formidable auras.
‘Is that Mi Lingyue and Mu Longyu?’
When Jiang Hao saw them, he was surprised that they were planning to enter the Lawless Tower.
He realized that they had detected his arrival. Jiang Hao was a bit concerned, but he didn’t let it show.
He walked over and greeted them with a polite bow. “Greetings, Seniors.”
“Friend Jiang, no need to be so formal,” Mu Longyu said with a smile.
At that moment, Senior Sister Yinsha came out as well.
Jiang Hao found this surprising because Mu Longyu was no ordinary person. Why hadn’t the Branch Master personally welcomed them?
“No need for such formalities. We’re here to meet a friend. That isn’t a bother, right?” Mu Longyu asked politely.
After exchanging a few greetings, they entered the fifth floor of the Lawless Tower.
Senior Sister Yinsha asked Jiang Hao to wait outside while she escorted the visitors. Only after delivering the guests into the tower did she come back and explain why she had called him here.
“Can you get Yin Zichen to speak up and reveal what he stole from the Mountain Sea Sword Sect?” she asked.
Jiang Hao felt helpless.
“Don’t worry too much, Junior Brother. If he doesn’t speak, we’ll just hand him over to them. It’s not a big deal. Just do what you can,” said Senior Sister Yinsha with a smile.
After all, he had been captured by the sect, so getting a bit less in ransom wasn’t a significant issue.
Jiang Hao didn’t know what to say. Yin Zichen’s value was to be sold for money, and if he found out about it, he might have mixed feelings about it.
This could become quite troublesome..
