Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

Chapter 692 - 692: Senior Brother, Watch Me Show Off

‘The presence of rare ores there had a reason. It seems I have to finish mining as soon as possible and get out of there.’

Jiang Hao had never expected that the one who would drive him back to the sect wouldn’t be an enemy but an acquaintance from the gathering.

However, there was still some time left. Gui would have to get the magic treasure first, then figure out a way to break the enchantments around the place, and only then would he be able to enter.

He needed to be ready to leave at any moment.

After the exchange, they talked casually.

Gui shared information about the Blackheaven Sect and told them that many sects had headed that way, including the Mountain Sea Sword Sect.

However, because they all had tasks related to The End of All Things, they probably wouldn’t linger there for long.

There wasn’t much news about the Saint Bandits, and the Fallen Immortal Clan were the most likely culprits.

Xing also mentioned that the Fallen Immortal Clan had grievances with the Grand Earth Emperor, but that probably wouldn’t affect the emperor’s appearance.

“Why is that?” Gui asked.

“It might be related to the Xuanyuan Sword. The sword has been dormant for a long time. It is probably sealing something related to the Fallen Immortal

Clan,” Xing said.

His theory was the most likely true.

A divine weapon like the Xuanyuan Sword wouldn’t stay inert for so long. Something must have held it back.

Now that the Xuanyuan clan was beginning to rise, various seals, including those related to the Xuanyuan Sword, were starting to break.

Gui instinctively looked at Jiang Hao and wondered if it had something to do with him.

‘Why are you looking at me? That has nothing to do with me!’

Jiang Hao felt that these people were very deeply involved. They seemed to be keeping a close eye on him as if ready to pounce at the slightest provocation.

Liu discussed overseas affairs. He mentioned that the Astronomical Academy had discovered something and was tracing the whereabouts of a senior.

The senior was most likely overseas, but it was just a guess, and no one paid it much attention.

Jiang Hao was interested in Shang An, but no one mentioned him.

So far, Gui hadn’t encountered anyone from the Clear Sky Sect. However, it was certain that they were somewhere in the southern region.

Overseas individuals had initially intended to teach King Hai Luo a lesson he would never forget, but because of the Ancestral Dragon’s Heart, they had been distracted.

“By the way, there’s one more thing.” Liu looked at Jiang Hao. “According to the information I received, Chi Tian has gone to serve under Heavenly King

Taomu. Due to his background, he has been promoted and can even meet King

Taomu if needed. However, I can still deliver a message to him if you want.”

Jiang Hao was surprised by Chi Tian’s progress. He had no intention of meeting Chi Tian at the moment.

He preferred to let him be for now. As for the message, he didn’t need to tell Chi Tian anything right now. He would consider it if Chi Tian tried to double-cross him again.

He didn’t need Chi Tian’s loyalty. It would be enough if he just gave him some information. That would be his buffer if Hong Yuye asked about Jiang Hao’s progress.

The gathering concluded. When Jiang Hao opened his eyes again, he immediately took out his notebook and began recording everything that had happened at the gathering:

The information about the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl had been shared with Dan Yuan and others at the gathering. They needed to be vigilant for any approaching powerful individuals. He also had a pending reward for providing the information.

Yin Zichen might be in the Lawless Tower.

The Xuanyuan Sword was at the Sun Moon Peak, and Gui might be visiting soon.

The other information was about Chi Tian getting promoted and working under Heavenly King Taomu. Some people were planning a retaliation against Heavenly King Hai Luo, and about the Astronomical Academy searching for their senior. There was no information on Shang An.

This information wasn’t very important, so Jiang Hao didn’t note it down.

He took note of the three techniques of the Heavenly Spirit Tribe: the Heaven Bestowing Technique, Six Earth Attribute Techniques, and Nine Sages Techniques. This was important information.

After putting away his notebook, Jiang Hao looked at the mine.

Finally, he reached the solid ore he had found earlier.

He didn’t have much time left, so he decided to attempt digging this rare ore. There was a possibility that he might find something special, so he needed to be prepared.

In the early morning, on the Sun Moon Peak. Xuanyuan Tai sat cross-legged and practiced his breathing technique on the highest point of the peak.

It seemed as if he could merge with the mountain and become one with it.

Despite still being at the early stage of the Soul Ascension Realm, his aura was extraordinary. It felt as though his aura concealed unfathomable power.

In front of him was a golden flower that seemed to resonate with him as if they shared a deep connection.

After some time, Xuanyuan Tai opened his eyes and looked at the flower. He let out a sigh.

“Senior Brother, do you know the whereabouts of the Human Emperor’s Sword?” Xuanyuan He asked. She had been waiting beside him.

“Yes, I do.” Xuanyuan Tai nodded.

xuanyuan He asKea eagerly, “wnere IS ltC’ Xuanyuan Tai looked down at the ground. “Right here.” “Here?” Xuanyuan He was astonished.

“It’s beneath the Sun Moon Peak,” Xuanyuan Tai said.

“So close? Then, why haven’t any of the seniors discovered it yet?” Xuanyuan He was surprised.

“Because the Xuanyuan Sword suppresses the Fallen Immortal Clan’s most important treasure. This sword cannot be allowed to emerge, even if the Emperor has been gone for a long time. His sword still guards this land.” Xuanyuan Tai sighed.

“Can’t it emerge if you become the Grand Earth Emperor?” Xuanyuan He asked.

Xuanyuan Tai chuckled. “You may have misunderstood, Junior Sister. The

Human Emperor is the Human Emperor, and the Grand Earth Emperor is the Grand Earth Emperor. They are two different things. The Grand Earth Emperor is a title bestowed by the Mountain and the Sea, while the Human Emperor is a unique designation. To become the Human Emperor, one doesn’t need to be blessed by the Mountain and the Sea, but they would need to be revered by all clans in the world.”

Xuanyuan He was surprised. “Does that mean the Xuanyuan Sword can’t ever be released?” she asked in disappointment.

“Not exactly…” Xuanyuan Tai shook his head.

As Xuanyuan He was about to ask further, a young woman came flying toward them on a sword.

“Senior Brother Xuanyuan, Senior Sister Xuanyuan, it’s been a long time,” said Bi Zhu. She smiled and landed in front of them.

“Junior Sister Bi Zhu, what are you doing here?” Xuanyuan He was surprised.

“I’ve returned from a long trip. What are you two talking about?” Bi Zhu asked.

“We were discussing the Xuanyuan Sword,” Xuanyuan He said.

“Oh? I came here for that. I know the location of the Xuanyuan Sword,” Bi Zhu said mysteriously. “Can you guess where it is?”

“Where is it?” Xuanyuan He was surprised.

Bi Zhu pointed to the ground. “Right beneath our feet, under the Sun Moon

Both Xuanyuan He and Xuanyuan Tai were taken aback.

They had just learned about it, but it seemed Bi Zhu had already found out.

“I know how to make the Xuanyuan Sword emerge. Do you want to hear about it?” asked Bi Zhu in delight.

“Junior Sister Bi Zhu, since you know so much, you must also know that the Xuanyuan Sword is suppressing something below. It won’t emerge until we deal with those issues,” Xuanyuan Tai said.

“Oh? Is that so?” Bi Zhu raised her eyebrows and smiled. “What if I tell you that I have the core of the Burning Immortal Formation?”

Xuanyuan Tai narrowed his eyes..
