He heard the spirit beast’s voice.

Jiang Hao felt somewhat helpless. When had he ever said that he had never eaten jujubes before?

However, since the beast had said it already, he didn’t care much about it.

Hong Yuye stood on the balcony and smiled. Then, she moved her index finger. The trace of power was something Jiang Hao couldn’t even perceive.

At this moment, Xiao Li exclaimed in surprise.

“Little beast, what’s happening? Why has your face become so big? Little beast, say something!”

Hong Yuye glanced at Jiang Hao. This made him uneasy.

“Do you remember the progress you mentioned earlier?” Hong Yuye said in amusement. “I hope there will be good news next time.”

Her figure began to blur.

Then, she disappeared from sight.

Jiang Hao breathed a sigh of relief.

While she didn’t do anything to him, he still felt immense pressure.

Standing on the balcony, he constantly felt as though he could be sent flying at any moment and crash to the ground. It was mentally very stressful.

At this moment, Xiao Li rushed in while holding the spirit beast in her hands.

“Senior Brother Jiang, something bad has happened…’

Jiang Hao leaped from the balcony to the courtyard.

The beast in Xiao Li’s arms had a swollen face and was barely alive.

“Put it aside. It will wake up on its own,” Jiang Hao said.

Xiao Li gently placed the beast under a tree.

Immediately after, she took out some jujubes and handed them to Jiang Hao.

Jiang Hao accepted them.

He took a bite. The fruit wasn’t sour or sweet. It was just okay.

Xiao Li sniffed around the area and looked surprised.

“It’s that Senior Sister’s scent!”

Jiang Hao didn’t think much about it. If Hong Yuye was okay with it, then so be it.

However, this scent was far from that of any Senior Sister. It was the scent of a demoness that could potentially end their lives.

At most, she appeared as a beautiful woman.

He didn’t know when Xiao Li’s cultivation realm would surpass Hong Yuye’s.

Jiang Hao sighed.

At that moment, the beast suddenly cried out.

Xiao Li turned her attention back to the beast.

In the following days, things started to calm down.

Apart from the rumors of the Blood Wish Path, there were no other issues.

Jiang Hao made many talismans, but he rarely sold them.

He continued accumulating experience.

Selling the talismans wasn’t easy.

What was more important was to accumulate his cultivation. He did not want any more issues.

During this time, he spent two thousand spirit stones to buy two packets of

Silver Moon Petals-

If Hong Yuye visited him once every few months, then he would lose a lot of spirit stones.

Out of the five thousand spirit stones, he had already spent two thousand. He spent another one thousand on materials.

He continued to make talismans.

In early April, Jiang Hao opened his interface after collecting bubbles.

[Lifeblood: 85/100 (can be cultivated)] [Cultivation: 84/100 (can be cultivated)]

‘Just another two months…’

The Soul Ascension Realm was within reach. He just needed to wait a bit more.

It was a pity the Spirit Herb Garden had run out of spirit herbs. They would have been quite helpful.

While Jiang Hao accumulated points for his cultivation, the Fallen Immortal Clan members who were investigating Gu Qing returned to their residence.

It was a natural cave. They had passed through a special barrier and intended to deliver the information to their clan’s elders.

However, when they arrived, they found the cave empty.

Though the residences were still intact, there was no sign of their clan members.

“You’ve returned?” An elder appeared before them.

“Elder, where are the others?” The middle-aged man at the forefront asked.

“After Gu Qing and the others were discovered, we knew that they would take the Sky-Piercing Shuttle. We’re just making preparations. With that treasure, it won’t be long till the Bright Moon Sect finds this place. That’s why we evacuated the place,” said the elder. Then, he asked about their trip.

“From the clues left by Gu Qing, we obtained some information, but some of it is unclear,” said Bu Cang, the leader.

“What kind of clues?” The elder led them to a clearing. After they sat down, he took the highest seat.

“There were two clues,” Bu Cang said.

“One is related to a person named Jiang Hao. He’s an inner sect disciple of the Heavenly Note Sect…”

He revealed Jiang Hao’s identity, cultivation realm, and some speculations they had made.

“Is he really only at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm?” asked the elder.

“Yes.” Bu Cang nodded.

“That is strange. What can a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator do?” The elder shook his head. “Put that aside for now. Once we’re ready, we can go investigate his surroundings. Nothing can escape my gaze. What about the second clue?”

“Bright Moon Sect, Dao Conference, Foundation Establishment,” Bu Cang said.

The elder frowned. He stood up and paced around.

After a long while, he seemed to have thought of something. “Spread the news to the clan. I recall there being records about this within the clan. We need to thoroughly investigate this.”

“But the people within the clan have already left. How do we contact them?” someone asked.

“Right, I forgot. I’ll go myself,” said the elder.

“You can help set up the altar. After some time, I’ll go investigate Jiang Hao.” The others nodded in agreement.

One month later, Jiang Hao felt impatient as his points had already reached around ninety.

The Soul Ascension Realm was within reach!

He quickly realized that his mind was restless. He tended to the spirit herbs

calmly.

He waited quietly.

An unstable mindset could lead to immense danger. This was the downside of rapid advancement in the cultivation realm.

Not being able to control one’s power would lead to destruction.

His virtue didn’t match his disposition.

Without the Heavenly Extinction Gu Poison, he didn’t know if he could have stabilized his mental state.

When the future was promising, people tended to believe they were invincible. They would often seek out stronger enemies.

As long as he had enough time, they could reach the pinnacle of the immortal path.

That was how disaster would start. With things going that way, he was unsure about his own survival.

He had to be vigilant against his own arrogance and impatience. That was the most important thing.

Back in the courtyard, Jiang Hao saw the peach tree was about to bloom.

It was happening quite fast. But it was within reason.

As he sat down to read a book and have some tea, he suddenly felt anxious.

He sensed someone’s gaze on him. Someone was spying on him!

‘What was going on? Someone is prying on my secrets? No… this feels different. What is this? Is it the Heavenly Essence Soul Modeling Mirror?’ Jiang Hao didn’t think so.

The person seemed to be craning their neck to see more.

What would happen if he was seen? He had no way of knowing.

Without hesitation, he activated the Heavenly Secrets Hidden Talisman.

It worked. It blocked the person’s gaze.

However, that gaze didn’t disappear.

Jiang Hao circulated the Hong Meng Heart Sutra and tried to blind his enemy.

But he didn’t understand what was happening. The method the person was using to probe wasn’t what he had expected.

He didn’t even know how to respond to it because he didn’t know what method it was.

Just as the person’s gaze probed again, Jiang Hao thought of something. He took out the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl.

He then threw it in the direction of the gaze.

He felt the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl tremble as if it wanted to break its seal and emerge.

The moment the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl became apparent, the gaze disappeared.

Jiang Hao used all his might to seal the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl that was about to break free of its seal.

At that moment, he also used the Immortal Mountain and Sea Shield.

Soon, everything returned to normal.

“Who could it be?”

Jiang Hao frowned. This was definitely the consequence of his previous actions. It was beyond his expectations..
