Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

1424  The Heavenly Blade Is Invincible (2)

Li Qi thought of something and asked, "Aren't you also a blade user? Have you fought against him?"

"Not yet." Jiang Hao shook his head.

"Not yet?" Li Qi was a little surprised.

Did that mean that they would fight in the future?

"I've heard of his legend for a long time, though I've never seen it myself. But those records shouldn't be false," Li Qi said.

"Brother Li, have you forgotten what I said before?" Jiang Hao asked with a smile.

"That you're going to surpass the Human Emperor? The Human Emperor practices swordsmanship, while you practice the Heavenly Blade. Your blade has long surpassed the Human Emperor," Li Qi said.

"Brother Li, you might not know this, but I've learned the Seven Forms of the Heavenly Blade." Jiang Hao lowered his head and looked at the folding fan in his hand.

"And?" Li Qi asked. "What does that have to do with me?"

"The Master of the East Heavenly Pole also practices the Seven Forms of the Heavenly Blade," Jiang Hao raised his head and looked up at the highest seat in the hall.

"Huh?" Li Qi was deep in thought. "You're done for."

"Why do you say that, Brother Li?" Jiang Hao was curious.

"It's said that the Master of the East Heavenly Pole is so skilled with the blade that no blade can be swung in front of him, especially those with similar techniques," Li Qi said.

"It seems like I'm in danger, Brother Li," said Jiang Hao with a smile.

This made Li Qi uncomfortable, so he quickly added, "Actually, there is a way. You can seek help from the Saint Bandits. You know about the Heaven Lock Technique, right? Sometimes, powers that can suppress your blade are a kind of talent that can be locked away. As long as you have the Heaven Lock Technique, his advantage is gone."

"How many people in this world can use the Heaven Lock Technique?" Jiang Hao asked.

"I know some people from the Saint Bandits. I can introduce them to you," the Holy Master said.

Jiang Hao only looked at him intently.

"I have beef with the Saint Bandits. Don't ask me to deal with them," said the Holy Master.

It was humiliating that the person in front of him clearly did not regard him highly.

It was almost a threat.

Jiang Hao kept looking at him without speaking.

The Holy Master stared back.

Neither of them gave way.

After a long time, the Holy Master threw him a divine soul.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Take this and ask for help. Don't expect me to ask for you. If you force me any further, I might as well die."

Jiang Hao accepted the divine soul and smiled. "Brother Li, you misunderstood me."

"What do you mean?" The Holy Master was stunned.

"I don't need help from the Saint Bandits," Jiang Hao said.

Upon hearing this, the Holy Master did not feel relieved but insulted.

It was a blatant insult.

It was as though this person had flung him onto the ground and trampled on him.

It was even worse than that.

This person was the most shameless person in history.

"Without the Heaven Lock Technique, are you going to meet your death?" the Holy Master asked.

Jiang Hao smiled as he held the folding fan in his hand and gently patted it on his right palm.

He raised his eyebrows slightly and looked directly at the person above. His smile held an indescribable confidence, along with arrogance and a certain calmness.

Then, he slowly said, "Don't you know it already, Brother Li?"

The Holy Master was stunned.

Jiang Hao did not mind him. He turned around and left.

"Last time, I let you see me surpass the Human Emperor. This time, I will overturn your understanding. After this, my blade will become a new legend."

As his words fell, Jiang Hao disappeared.

The Holy Master watched as the person disappeared.

It took him a while to come back to his senses.

He had to admit that this person, who frequently humiliated him, was strong and powerful beyond understanding.

He had an extraordinary potential to become and remain the number one in history for a long time.

No one in the history of time had directly become a True Immortal right after advancing to immortality.

It had only taken him five years to advance to the late stage of the True Immortal Realm after becoming an immortal.

There had never been such a person in history.

At present, this person was thinking of creating a new legend.

The Holy Master's face darkened.

"What is he doing? His cultivation is improving faster than I can recover? Why does he have to insult only me?"

...

In the West, Yan Yuezhi walked out of a snowy mountain.

Words flickered around her, with an inexplicable mystery.

"It seems you have fully absorbed the opportunities here." A corpse climbed out of the snow and congratulated her.

"Senior, you must be joking. Didn't you also get what you wanted?" Yan Yuezhi said.

She was wearing a light blue dress, and her hair was tied up in a simple bun. It made her look ordinary.

But her aura was scholarly and dignified.

The corpse walking beside her smiled. "It was the right choice to cooperate with you. You are quite lucky."

"Luck?" Yan Yuezhi asked curiously. "If you need great luck, why not cooperate with the person who has the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment?"

"Senior, you're so strong, and your body isn't sealed by any power. Why don't you leave?" Yan Yuezhi asked.

"A person's reputation casts a long shadow. Sometimes facing the strongest existence requires maintaining a certain reverence for them. That can be a route of escape. Don't think that just because their attention isn't here, you can ignore it. When their attention turns here, it will be too late to regret it," the corpse said.

"It seems that you care a lot about that person, senior," Yan Yuezhi said.

"You were never in the same era as him, so you wouldn't understand." The corpse smiled. "There's news about Disciple Shang An. He's kneeling at the gate of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect. It has already been a month."

"Why?" asked Yan Yuezhi. "Didn't he already join the Clear Sky School?"

The corpse chuckled. "Yes, but his first Master was in the Ten Thousand Poison Sect. He went there to see his Master, but his Master refused to see him. So, he kneels at the gate of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect. His cultivation is not revealed, and he is determined to see his Master. He hopes for his Master's approval and guidance. Some even suspect he was thrown out of the Clear Sky School. After all... you understand, right? His situation…"

"I've heard of him." Yan Yuezhi nodded. "If I go over now, will I be able to see him?"

"As long as he's there, you'll be able to see him. Do you want to see him?" the corpse asked curiously.

"I kind of want to. I've seen the one with the Heaven Dao Foundation Establishment, and now I want to meet a world-shaking genius," Yan Yuezhi said truthfully.

"Why are you suddenly interested in these people?" The corpse was curious.

Yan Yuezhi did not speak.

She wanted to visit her parents' graves too.

She had become stronger, but the road ahead was too long.

She had never thought that she would be able to walk so far, but she had unknowingly reached this place.

"Senior, why did you share so much this time?" Yan Yuezhi asked. "Is there something you want?"

"Yes. I sensed that Gu Changsheng was communicating with the outside world," the corpse said.

"Something like that."

"What will I get in return?"

"That depends on what Gu Changsheng gives you. He will give you something."

Yan Yuezhi nodded and did not say anything more.

She had to make a trip to the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect.

On the way, she suddenly felt the stone tablet vibrate. They were going to have a gathering tonight.

That was good too.

It just so happened that Corpse Ancestor had given her a mission.

...

At the location where the immortals were gathered, Elder Gu sat cross-legged on the ground.

At that moment, his eyes were slightly bruised.

Logically, an immortal should not have such bruises.

But he did.

If this continued, he worried he might suddenly die one day.

What kind of existence did he provoke to elicit such a curse?

"How's the investigation going?" he asked the person who had returned.

To understand his situation, he needed to know the best Curse Masters.

Also, there was no news from the Heavenly Note Sect.

It seemed like he had failed.

He had to pay attention to Jiang Hao and get someone to investigate him. If possible, he needed to spy on him.
