Chapter 432: The Gap Between Heaven and Earth

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

On the way to the Bright Moon Sect, Jiang Hao glanced at Hong Yuye.

After learning that she didn’t reject him too much, he felt a bit strange.

He was surprised.

After careful consideration, he realized that not being rejected didn’t mean much.

He didn’t reject people who spread rumors about him, but that didn’t mean he thought highly of them either.

It could go either way.

Perhaps the mindset of the strong was similar to that.

Jiang Hao couldn’t help but think positively about it.

He didn’t dare to show it at all.

The consequences of being too clever were something he couldn’t afford.

He couldn’t even imagine the state of mind of someone like Hong Yuye.

If he jumped to conclusions based on some small guesses, what awaited him would be an endless abyss.

The only safe approach was to get stronger.

He had learned almost everything about One Heart Palm. He only lacked practice.

The only person he could practice it with was the woman beside him.

“Do you want to try the One Heart Palm?” Hong Yuye suddenly turned to him and asked teasingly.

Jiang Hao’s heart skipped a bit. Then, he shook his head. “I was just thinking about the Dao Conference and wondering what would happen there.” Hong Yuye chuckled but didn’t say anything.

This time, they were heading directly to the Bright Moon Sect and not to the rlWvin Peaks.

It was time for the development of the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment, so they weren’t in a hurry.

As they approached the Bright Moon Sect, more and more people appeared around them.

Some were not strong enough to live in the Bright Moon Sect, so they were heading there slowly.

Some flew on their swords, while others walked.

“There are so many people, and their strength is formidable,” Jiang Hao said as he watched the crowd.

The Dao Conference of the Bright Moon Sect attracted only the strongest individuals.

Even if they were not the absolute strongest, they were among the top elite. They either had enough opportunities or astonishing talent.

For example, there were two individuals from the Cliff of Broken Hearts, Mu Qi and Han Ming. He knew them and recognized them at the Bright Moon Sect.

There was also Liu Xingchen, who was even more extraordinary.

There were three remnant souls inside him: a True Dragon, a sorcerer, and a Blood Demon.

Each remnant soul had an extraordinary background, but they were all held captive.

It was clear how strong Liu Xingchen was.

Jiang Hao believed that he couldn’t do something like that. He couldn’t hold them captive for so long, let alone devour them.

He was curious about how these three remnant souls would resist. If they resisted, they might win, but if they didn’t, Liu Xingchen would get bored and devour them.

“Is there anyone among these people who belongs to The End of All Things?” Hong Yuye asked.

“It’s hard to say. The End of All Things mostly looks at experience and temperament. People filled with hatred, anger, and darkness are the most likely to join them,” Jiang Hao said.

And such people were impossible to spot, which was the tricky part.

The people of The End of All Things were the hardest to find. Any stranger could be one of them.

Although there was a way to appraise them, it would take too long because there were too many people.

They could only rely on their own observations.

As long as Chu Jie doesn’t appear, those people wouldn’t rush to come out.

On their way to the central square, Jiang Hao saw a group of people.

Leading them was his master, Ku Wu Chang, and behind him were many others. Among them, he saw Xiao Li holding the spirit beast. She was excited.

“Beast, will there be food later?” Xiao Li asked.

“After it’s over, we can have a meal. Remember to mention my name then, and you’ll get more food,” the beast said solemnly.

“Can we keep eating like that?”

Yes. You have to keep mentioning my name.

“Really?”

“Do you still not know who I am?”

“I know you treat people with integrity.”

Chu Chuan nodded. He believed that the beast was absolutely right.

Jiang Hao walked past them without attracting anyone’s attention. It was only when their group had gone far away that Hong Yuye spoke up. “Xiao Li regards you as an older brother, which doesn’t seem like you at all.”

“What do you mean, Senior?” Jiang Hao asked curiously. Hong Yuye chuckled. “She doesn’t lie like you.”

Jiang Hao couldn’t respond.

It seemed that the spirit beast wasn’t a bad influence on Xiao Li.

He wasn’t unsure what the beast had been teaching her. The spirit beast was adept at lying more than most, after all.

Jiang Hao glanced at Chu Chuan and thought about how those who wanted to target him would do so during the Dao Conference.

It was unclear whether he could handle it.

The gap between him and Chu Jie would become apparent after the Dao Conference: an ordinary sect disciple and the most outstanding Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator.

He could even influence the future course of the world.

How would Chu Chuan face such a person? The gap between them couldn’t be crossed with just effort.

The gap was there. It would become more and more evident, and wider as time passed.

It wasn’t a matter of one person falling behind. It was a matter of the other person soaring to great heights.

Childhood friendships would gradually fade away in the face of such a gap. That was inevitable.

Jiang Hao sighed and looked at the others. ‘Where is Liu Xingchen?’

Jiang Hao was quite surprised.

Soon, Jiang Hao arrived at the central square and showed his jade pendant. He was invited to a high seat on the side.

He looked around after taking his seat.

There were many arenas in the center, and there were many marked areas around them. Each belonged to a different sects.

Jiang Hao found the Heavenly Note Sect.

Compared to other sects, the Heavenly Note Sect was indeed inferior in terms of heritage and strength.

The fact that the Bright Moon Sect had invited them was already quite impressive.

Soon, Jiang Hao and the others sat down. Others began to take their seats as well.

They gathered in groups of two or three. They all seemed familiar with each other.

Each of them had extraordinary cultivation.

Soon, they saw Jiang Hao and Hong Yuye, and they seemed surprised.

The two were seated in the most central position. Not everyone was invited to be seated there. The center seats were reserved for the most important people.

“May I ask who you are?” Chang Zizai came over to greet them.

Jiang Hao stood up to return the greeting.

“It’s you?” Chang Zizai expressed surprise and delight. “I’ve been looking for you everywhere. I didn’t expect to find you here.”

Jiang Hao felt a little embarrassed. He hadn’t expected that a few words he had exchanged would make these senior cultivators remember him. The two other seniors had gone all out in watching and stalking him everywvhere. Fortunately, they didn’t intend to do anything. They were only here for the Heavenly Dao

Foundation Establishment.

Jiang Hao didn’t recognize this particular cultivator.

“Can I sit here?” Chang Zizai pointed to the seat next to Jiang Hao.

“Of course, Senior,” Jiang Hao said politely.

“Calling me Senior feels a bit formal. If you can sit here, you’re not an ordinary cultivator. By the way, is there more to the poem you recited aloud before?” asked Chang Zizai.

“Apologies, Senior. I only heard about it from my father when I was a child, and I only remember that much, ” Jiang Hao said apologetically.

“What about your father now?” Chang Zizai asked.

Jiang Hao lowered his head and didn’t answer.

“I apologize for being too abrupt, ” Chang Zizai said. “Who do you think will shine the most in this Dao Conference?”

Jiang Hao turned to look at the highest position, where people were beginning to appear..
