Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

1376  Is The Transcendent Realm The End Of The Great Dao? (2) In front of the Great Dao, everyone was equal.

Regardless of one's talent, be it Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment or ordinary mid-tier talent, if one could not comprehend the Great Dao, one would not be able to advance too much.

Hong Yuye looked at Jiang Hao but did not say anything.

Jiang Hao did not ask anything further.

When he had the chance to become a Transcendent, he would know more.

But it was uncertain how long it would take to become a Transcendent, or if there was even a chance. For now, he would strive to become a Heavenly Immortal.

Fortunately, the Heavenly Note Sect had survived this calamity, and he could raise his cultivation realm in peace.

At that moment, he stood by the lake and waved the blade in his hand to draw the river out.

Of course, the riverbed along the way was damaged and needed to be re-dug.

Jiang Hao was familiar with this task.

It was like mining.

Using his magical skill, he began to dig.

With each swing, a trench appeared.

It was efficient.

Hong Yuye just sat there quietly and watched the river flow.

Gradually, her figure began to fade.

Jiang Hao, who was digging the riverbed, suddenly paused and looked back.

The red and white figure that had been by the lake was gone.

After a moment, Jiang Hao returned to his task of clearing the riverbed.

The Heavenly Note Sect had survived the crisis, but they had also suffered serious losses.

It was very easy for problems to occur in the future. He should stabilize his own area.

The Spirit Herb Garden had to be restored as soon as possible.

Only then could he focus on cultivation.

This would also provide some defense against external threats.

Whether it was the Heavenly Spirit Tribe, the Heavenly Saint Sect, or the Fallen Immortal Clan, they all hated him in equal measure.

21:55

At the same time, he wanted to find who the Heavenly Immortal was who had attacked before.

Whether the enemy would return soon was crucial for the Heavenly Note Sect.

Additionally, the Sect Master's condition was a concern.

With the River of Deathly Silence drawn out and the Heavenly Immortal injured, the Sect Master was likely not well.

He did not know if the Sect Master, who had just appeared, would retreat again.

If she was severely injured this time, it would not be easy to recover.

Previously, with the Great Era, she could use the opportunity to recover from her condition.

But that was no longer possible.

The riverbed was cleared quickly, although it took some extra time to do it well.

By afternoon, Jiang Hao had completed the task.

He had to ensure the river flowed not only to his residence but also further downstream so that it would not create trouble for others.

Otherwise, they would not be able to determine where it was flowing to and would instead cause trouble for others.

With this done, he headed to the Spirit Herb Garden.

The garden was heavily damaged, but the people were unharmed.

It was within his expectations.

His Mountain Sea Seal had offered some protection to the people there.

Besides, Bing Qing was also there. As long as the threats were not very serious, Bing Qing could offer them some safety.

This place was safer compared to others.

Xiao Li and the spirit beast were also there.

"Senior Brother…" Cheng Chou was relieved to see him.

It was good that his Senior Brother was back.

Everyone felt safer with him here.

"Has Senior Brother Mu Qi been here?" Jiang Hao asked.

He wanted to know about his Master's situation.

While clearing the riverbed earlier, he sensed that his Master was not at the Cliff of Broken Hearts.

He was worried something bad might have happened.

Although that made sense, he hoped otherwise.

His Master was not overly kind to him, but he was not that bad either.

He helped Jiang Hao whenever possible.

Be it regarding teaching techniques, assisting with rankings, or handling matters of the Heavenly Joy Pavilion, he had helped Jiang Hao.

Even though he did not ask anything in return, his Master still did his best.

It was very rare for someone like that to be in the demonic sect.

Hence, despite some troubles with fellow disciples, Jiang Hao felt relatively secure compared to other branches.

"No." Cheng Chou shook his head, then added, "But Senior Sister Miao might be coming here today."

Jiang Hao nodded. Although Senior Sister Miao was a headache sometimes, he could still get some information out of her.

In addition, Senior Brother Mu Qi was in a safe place. Moreover, his place was fortified against the Holy Master's threats.

Those below the Immortal Realm could not cause any damage at all.

"How is the Spirit Herb Garden?" Jiang Hao asked.

"With Lord Beast's help, there weren't many casualties. It's just that… half the spirit fields have been destroyed. Many spirit herbs have been destroyed too," said Cheng Chou.

"No one has come to help?" Jiang Hao asked.

"Not yet. Almost a month has passed, but no true disciples or stewards have come to manage things," Cheng Chou said.

Jiang Hao nodded.

In that case, Master, Senior Brother Bai Yi, Senior Sister Ning Xuan, and Senior Brother Mu Qi were all doomed.

Usually, Senior Ning Xuan and Senior Mu Qi would spend time looking after the Spirit Herb Garden.

Senior Brother Bai Yi managed the entire Cliff of Broken Hearts when Master was absent.

None of them had visited the garden, which meant they could not come. He had not seen them for a long time. They might be in danger.

"First, gather the remaining herbs and restore the spirit fields. Assign half of the people to build shelters for the ordinary folks. How's the cafeteria?" Jiang Hao asked.

"Destroyed," Cheng Chou said.

"No one is rebuilding it? What about Junior Brother Feng Yang?" Jiang Hao asked.

"He hid in a designated safe spot, but that area was attacked, and Junior Brother Feng Yang was severely injured," Cheng Chou said with a sigh.

The sect had suffered great losses this time.

Without Lord Beast's help, they would not have survived unscathed.

Jiang Hao nodded. "Then let's focus on the Spirit Herb Garden and the shelters. Where is Junior Brother Feng Yang now?"

Upon receiving the location, Jiang Hao began examining the remaining herbs.

Meanwhile, he awaited Senior Sister Miao's arrival.

Then, he would visit Junior Brother Feng Yang.

If possible, he would help him.

Otherwise, it would be troublesome for Xiao Li to receive her meals.

Sure enough, before dark, Xiao Li returned with the spirit beast and Lin Zhi. They had caught a lot of fish.

Xiao Li might have caught them. She knew how to catch fish.

Even in her village, she used to catch fish.

"We need to ration the food, or people will go hungry. This portion is for Senior Brother Feng. He's ill and can't cook, so we need to prepare his meals and deliver them," Xiao Li said earnestly.

Jiang Hao just looked on without saying anything.

Back then, Xiao Li claimed that she disliked Feng Yang. This time, she was offering to cook and deliver him food.

Later, Jiang Hao saw Xiao Li picking a bunch of peaches and reluctantly sharing them with others.

He recognized the peaches from his courtyard.

Due to the Great Era, the peaches had ripened.

The peach tree had not yet undergone the final incarnation.

The Sect Master's stance was unclear, and he did not want to invite trouble.

In addition, there was a high possibility that the final incantation might fail.

The situation was stable at the moment, and he could wait.

As darkness fell, Jiang Hao finally saw Senior Sister Miao arrive.

"Junior Brother, you finally appeared!" Miao Tinglian said excitedly. "I have a feeling your destined one is in the Heavenly Note Sect. I just haven't found her yet. With more progress, I will locate her."

Jiang Hao listened quietly.

His Senior Sister seemed in good spirits, which meant Senior Brother Mu Qi was fine.

"Did you come to the Spirit Herb Garden for something?" Jiang Hao asked.

Miao Tinglian looked at the garden and said, "I did, but since you're here, there's no need."

Jiang Hao was puzzled.

"This place is under your care. Mu Qi asked me to take charge temporarily since you weren't here. Who knew you'd return today?" Miao Tinglian smiled at him. "Aren't you aware of your responsibility? You're a late-stage Primordial Spirit Realm cultivator. You have surpassed many people. Master has asked you to stay here. Which ordinary cultivator would dare to criticize you? Not everyone can come to the Spirit Herb garden."

Jiang Hao asked, "Were there heavy casualties at the Cliff of Broken Hearts?"

"It's serious." Miao Tinglian nodded and sighed. "I heard the Master is on the brink of death and is currently in the Lawless Tower. It's uncertain if he can be saved. Senior Brother Bai Yi is missing, and the Law Enforcement Hall is searching for him. The other seniors are either missing or gravely injured. Mu Qi is also gravely injured. His cultivation has regressed, but he'll recover in six months."

Jiang Hao nodded. Senior Brother Mu Qi would have been safe if he had stayed in his quarters.

However, the sect could not allow everyone to stay hidden. They had to fight the enemy. Most people had gotten injured because of that.

After that, Senior Sister Miao went back and said that she needed to take care of Mu Qi.

Jiang Hao nodded.

Xiao Li and the others had already prepared dinner.

Jiang Hao asked for Junior Brother Feng Yang's share. He was planning to take it to him.

After hesitating for a moment, he also asked for a portion for Senior Brother Mu Qi.

He did not need to visit everyone, but checking on Senior Brother Mu Qi and Senior Sister Miao Tinglian was necessary.
