Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

Chapter 1267: Demoness: Heavily Injured? (2)

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

However, it had been too dangerous. Once the appraisal was over, he could only escape.

[Changqing Qiumei: One of the Five Demons of the Heavenly River Sea Area. She is in the middle stage of the True Immortal Realm. She has a wisp of the aura of the Heavenly Extreme Silent Pearl. If she doesn’t suppress it within five breaths, she will die. This ambush was set up to capture you. After Smiling San Sheng became the first person in history, they began to investigate. Later, they found that Smiling San Sheng often went overseas, and his cultivation realm rose bit by bit. The whole process only took a few decades. The speed of cultivation aroused their suspicion. They guessed that Smiling San Sheng had the secret of the Great Dao, so they studied his whereabouts. Finally, they identified the five key routes Smiling San Sheng often took and waited. They knew that heavenly secrets would not work on you, so they used this method to catch you off guard.]

“One of the Five Demons…”

Jiang Hao sighed.

He had thought that the other party had used some secret technique to find him, but they had just laid in wait at the route he most often took.

“I wasn’t careful enough…”

The higher one’s cultivation realm was, the easier it was to overlook such a small detail.

This was the disadvantage of rapidly increasing one’s cultivation realm. After the Great Era began, there would basically be no one who was a match for him.

He still felt a little arrogant.

He should have thought of this long ago. Smiling San Sheng’s rapid rise was bound to draw attention.

For powerful experts, ambushing the first one in history to attempt the impossible was worth the risk.

This was especially true for those who had failed to complete their great opportunities and were in danger.

Gu Jin had warned him before, and he had thought that as long as the heavenly secrets were not revealed, there would be no danger.

He was not only heavily injured but his Immortal Mountain Sea Shield was also gone.

‘Five Demons…’

Jiang Hao lowered his head in thought. He wanted to increase his cultivation realm as soon as possible.

He could not abandon the identity of Smiling San Sheng. Since the Five Demons had crossed a line with him, he needed to get stronger as soon as possible and confront them.

Even if he did not intend to do that, he still needed to retrieve the broken Immortal Mountain sea Shield.

However, the outside world was indeed dangerous. If the mysterious Smiling San Sheng could be ambushed and besieged, it would be even more dangerous for him.

He should keep a low profile. Danger filled every corner of the world.

He had been incredibly fortunate and had advanced at a rapid pace.

Whether from the demonic sects or the immortal sects, there were those happy to see his growth, but many more wanted to replace him.

With enough fortune at stake, the number of people wanting to kill him could line up from the south to overseas.

Even though those who dared to act were a minority, in a place like the four regions and overseas, even a minority constituted a dense crowd.

Seeing that there were people overseas willing to act like this, he suspected that even the Fallen Immortal Clan might have members who would do the same. It seemed he needed to be well-prepared.

He needed to improve as soon as possible.

However, after becoming an immortal, impatience would only hinder rapid improvement.

Sighing softly, Jiang Hao calmed himself.

When he walked out of his house, Jiang Hao saw a red figure in the courtyard. She was sitting under the peach tree and brewing some tea.

The fragrance of the tea filled the air, and the immortal energy in his body danced with joy.

Jiang Hao sniffed the aroma and realized that it was a tea he had never drunk before.

Who knew how many spirit stones it had cost?

“Injured?” Hong Yuye raised her eyebrows and looked at Jiang Hao.

“A minor injury…” Jiang Hao greeted her and then walked to the table to pour tea for her.

Then, he poured himself a cup, too.

Just by the aroma, he was sure that this tea could make up for the rest of his recovery.

It would help him quickly return to peak condition.

Although his injuries had healed, it would take some time to regain his peak strength.

Hong Yuye sipped her tea and chuckled. “Your treasure seems to be broken.”

Jiang Hao remembered the Nine Heavens Battle Armor.

At that moment, the battle armor appeared on his body. It was in tatters.

If not for the Nine Heavens Battle Armor, his injuries would have been much worse.

It was a valuable treasure.

Unfortunately, it was a few pieces short of being at the immortal level.

“Did your sect give this to you? It’s not very impressive.” Hong Yuye put down her teacup and laughed.

“It’s just missing a few pieces,” Jiang Hao said.

The Nine Heavens Battle Armor was formidable, but because it was incomplete, it seemed less impressive.

If it were complete, it would have been of immense help to him this time.

“Why is it missing some pieces?” Hong Yuye asked.

Jiang Hao did not know what to say. It was most likely because the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower had not made any progress in the past few years. So, he got no reward for it.

“Senior, don’t you need the opportunities of the Great Era?” Jiang Hao asked.

He had wanted to ask this question for a long time.

The other party seemed to be constantly on the move and completely unconcerned about the opportunities.

Hong Yuye lowered her head and sipped her tea. In the end, she said softly, “I do care about it. Any immortal would desire the opportunities of the Great Era. These opportunities are not just for improving cultivation realms. With such opportunities, even Dao injuries can be healed. Even if one’s lifespan is near its end, it can be extended. Inner demons and bottlenecks could be overcome. Even those with unimpeded cultivation need such fortunes. If others obtain them, and you don’t, you are falling behind.”

Jiang Hao lowered his head and did not say anything.

He would not be able to obtain any opportunities, so if he did not improve himself, he would be fighting a losing battle.

“Do you have any enemies, Senior?” Jiang Hao asked.

“Didn’t I ask you to investigate that?” Hong Yuye asked in return.

Jiang Hao heaved a sigh of relief.

Was there only one enemy of hers?

That meant half the danger. If the other party had many enemies, he certainly would not be spared.

He needed time.

Otherwise, it would be hard to withstand the numerous dangers following the Great Era.

“I will do my best.” After making his promise, Jiang Hao sipped his tea.

Instantly, the spiritual energy merged into his body and revitalized every part of his being. It rapidly absorbed the surrounding spiritual energy to heal his injuries.
