Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

Chapter 673 - 673: The Blood Wish Alchemical Path

The jujube tree belonged to Xiao Li’s family, and Cheng Chou had brought it back for her.

It had been well cared for, and Xiao Li, who was a glutton, never ate them all at once.

“You haven’t eaten these before?” Hong Yuye asked.

After placing Xiao Li back in her room, they sat under the tree.

“No.” Jiang Hao shook his head. He rarely visited Xiao Li, and it was usually the spirit beast who kept her company.

“Which form of the Heavenly Blade are you at?” Hong Yuye stood beneath the tree and looked up at the moon.

“The fourth form,” Jiang Hao said.

The fifth form was still elusive. It was difficult to learn and required further study.

After mastering the No Regrets Technique, he would need to move on to the fifth form.

“Xuanyuan Sword is about to appear. What do you think will happen if someone else obtains it?” Jiang Hao asked.

Such extraordinary items could be powerful when used wisely but devastating if misused. The sword contained the sword intent of the Human Emperor, and its power was unimaginable.

“It won’t matter.” Hong Yuye looked at Jiang Hao. “The Human Emperor was recognized by the heavens, the human race, and many other races, even his enemies respected him. His sword can’t be used by others. Even if someone tries to use it, they won’t be able to do it at all. Those who can use that sword are recognized by the sword itself.”

Suddenly, Hong Yuye’s face turned serious. “If you were the Grand Earth Emperor, would you use the sword of the Human Emperor?”

“Maybe,” Jiang Hao said.

“Do you think you’d be matching the sword, or the sword matching you?” Hong Yuye asked. “The sword only became the sword of the Human Emperor because of that person, not because anyone could use it.”

For Jiang Hao, none of that really mattered. He shook his head. “I’ve never thought about these things, but it’s better to use the sword. Since it is powerful, it would be a pity not to use it.”

“Then, what about the thing you said before? ‘To wear the crown, one must bear the weight’?” Hong Yuye asked.

It was clear she wanted to know why Jiang Hao was concerned about the sword’s power even though he had the strength to use it.

Jiang Hao lowered his head. “There are some things I absolutely don’t want to do. ”

He didn’t want to neglect his responsibilities in exchange for power. That was a line he didn’t want to cross.

Many things needed to be done, and Jiang Hao knew that he couldn’t do them.

It wasn’t an easy path, but he respected people who could achieve difficult things.

He didn’t want to be a hindrance to them. If it was possible, he would try to help them instead. So, even if the Xuanyuan Sword was placed before him, he wouldn’t try to use it.

Hong Yuye looked at Jiang Hao. Finally, she took a bite of a white jujube. “It’s not as sweet as the peaches.”

Jiang Hao, on the other hand, felt that they were similar in taste.

Hong Yuye glanced at Jiang Hao, and her figure began to fade. “The Xuanyuan

Sword is about to appear and needs the core array of the Burning Immortal Formation.”

As her words faded away, Hong Yuye completely disappeared.

Jiang Hao breathed a sigh of relief. As for his fourth Half-Moon Blade, he no longer cared.

Every time he changed blades, he had to deal with them disappearing with

Hong Yuye.

He glanced back at Xiao Li’s residence and left.

On the way, he thought about Hong Yuye’s words.

It seemed that the Xuanyuan Sword wasn’t as easy to obtain as he thought. It required the core formation runes of the Burning Immortal Formation.

Only one person had come across such a formation. That was Xing from the gathering.

‘Xing received information about the Human Emperor’s Sword at the secret location and also encountered that formation. It seems that the two are indeed closely related. I wonder if the secret location has any connection to the Fallen Immortal Clan.’

‘Xing has never talked about the origins of the secret location, but from his words, it seems that the Bright Moon Sect may not be aware of it anyway.’ Jiang Hao doesn’t know how the Burning Immortal Formation could be connected to the Xuanyuan Sword.

While he was still thinking, he sensed a wave of blood-red aura.

‘A Blood Wish Path aura?’

In an instant, he sensed the direction it was coming from.

‘They’re not hiding. They’re coming straight toward me. There’s no murderous intent, so it doesn’t seem like they want to harm me.’

Finally, a young man approached him with a friendly smile.

Jiang Hao didn’t hesitate and used the Daily Appraisal ability. Those who used the Blood Wish Path were often dangerous and shouldn’t be underestimated.

[Qian Chen: Inner sect disciple of the Candlelight Pill Pavilion branch of the Heavenly Note Sect. He is at the early stage of the Return to Void Realm. He practices the Blood Wish Path. He’s looking for you to confirm whether you are truly following the Blood Wish Path or just pretending. If you are, he will make you a core member of his group of followers who follow the Blood Wish Path. If not, he will use you to nourish his Blood Pool. He doesn’t have much time left, and after he enters Devil’s Den, he will find the Blood Pool and establish a connection with it. His strength will greatly increase, and upon returning, he will sacrifice all those close to him into the Blood Pool. He has genuine feelings for those he cares about and will completely fuse the Blood Wish Path with the Blood Pool in extreme pain. This will create a new alchemical path, the Blood Wish Alchemical Path. It will also take him into a completely new realm.]

After reading the feedback, Jiang Hao was surprised.

It was really Senior Brother Qian Chen!

Whether he practiced the Blood Wish Path or not, he would become a part of Qian Chen’s breakthrough. Moreover, Qian Chen wanted to create the Blood Wish Alchemical Path, and it would involve sacrificing all those he cared about.

Many thoughts raced through Jiang Hao’s mind. By this time, Qian Chen had already reached in front of him.

“Junior Brother,” Qian Chen said with a smile.

Jiang Hao pretended to be puzzled. “I don’t think I know you, Senior Brother.”

This person posed a threat, but he was unsure of how to resolve it at the moment.

He couldn’t make a move here. He would have to do that in Devil’s Den.

Before Qian Chen found the Blood Pool, he needed to get there first.

To obtain information about the Blood Pool, he needed to go to the Lawless Tower once again. Nangong Yue had mentioned it before.

This reminded him of Yin Wei, and he was unsure whether Qian Chen was connected to Yin Wei in some way. If that was true, the trouble would be even greater than he had anticipated.

The Blood Wish Path had been convenient for Jiang Hao till now, but he hadn’t expected to attract such trouble so quickly.

The root cause of everything was probably the Blood Pool, but he didn’t know what kind of Blood Pool had given Qian Chen the confidence to act so boldly and decide to massacre people within the sect.

Qian Chen smiled. “I am Qian Chen from the Candlelight Pill Pavilion.” Jiang Hao bowed. ‘Greetings, Senior Brother Qian Chen.”

“Would you be willing to take a walk with me, Junior brother? I have some questions about certain spirit herbs that I’d like to ask you,” Qian Chen said.

“Of course.” Jiang Hao nodded. He couldn’t refuse because he didn’t want to raise suspicions.

Whether he practiced the Blood Wish Path or not, it didn’t matter.

Either way, he wouldn’t be let off the hook. What he needed now was to ensure that his cultivation realm was enough to not be questioned about it..
