Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

Chapter 979: The Place Where the Dragon Lives

‘What is my destiny?’

He thought about it and shook his head.

“Senior, you misunderstand. I don’t want to fight against fate or destiny. I just want to survive. There have been many twists and turns in my life, but I’ve been working hard to live a good life,” said Jiang Hao.

He wondered if that was considered fighting against fate. No one had a smooth life. Everyone struggled. It was part of life.

It was easy to lose everything in an instant. In order to protect what he had, he naturally had to face it, resist, and go against fate if he had to.

“You threw away the bamboo stick because you are Smiling San Sheng?” A table and chairs appeared beside Hong Yuye. She sat down.

“Senior, you are correct as always,” said Jiang Hao.

“What if you weren’t really Smiling San Sheng but yourself?” Hong Yuye looked at him.

Jiang Hao lowered his head and thought for a long time. “Then, I would Have put the bamboo stick back in the tube.”

“And then?” Hong Yuye asked.

“Then, I’ll continue to enter the Dragon Cave to do things for you, Senior.” Jiang Hao said calmly.

“You’re not worried?” Hong Yuye asked.

“You can’t trust people when you’re outside. It’s always good to be careful. The reason I have come this far is that I’ve always remained careful and prepared beforehand. A bamboo tube can’t change that,” said Jiang Hao.

“How old are you this year?” Hong Yuye suddenly asked.

“Forty,” Jiang Hao said.

“You’re not young anymore.”

Hong Yuye lowered her head and did not speak again.

Jiang Hao indeed felt that he wasn’t young anymore. He was way past his twenties and thirties.

He could no longer be young and impulsive.

He had never been reckless, but it was even more apparent that he could not do that.

He checked his surroundings. Everything was indeed sealed.

The entrance was also completely closed to the outside.

They could enter the Dragon Cave.

He wanted to see what was going on inside.

But how could he enter?

Jiang Hao tried to sense his surroundings, and he instantly felt like he was being sucked in.

He looked at Hong Yuye. “Senior, do you want to go in now?”

The other party just looked at him without saying anything.

It seemed like he had to make his own decision.

He decided to find a way in.

After getting Little Wang to follow him, Jiang Hao let the surrounding Primordial Spirits be sucked away.

At that moment, his armor activated.

It was the Nine Heavens Battle Armor.

He had modified it a bit.

He was also wearing a storage ring because he could not take a normal storage treasure inside.

When others entered, they too took treasures like that.

Jiang Hao felt like he was headed to the depths of the sea.

It was as if he was isolated from the entire world.

It was like entering the Corpse Realm all over again.

“Woof! Woof!”

Little Wang barked. Jiang Hao turned and realized that Little Wang had arrived near him very quickly.

Behind it was Hong Yuye. Nothing fazed her.

It was exactly the same as what he saw outside. It was impossible to tell where they were.

Soon, a light appeared below and covered them.

Then, he stopped descending. When the light covered everything, Jiang Hao felt like he had landed on the ground.

He could smell fresh grass.

Everything around him felt clearer.

He was in a large grassland. In the distance, there were hundreds of flowers blooming and a river.

White clouds piled up in the sky, and the sun shone for thousands of miles.

“This is the Dragon Cave?” Jiang Hao was surprised.

He had thought that it would be an actual cave.

He did not expect it to be a beautiful land with mountains and rivers.

“How do you think dragons live?” Hong Yuye asked.

A gentle breeze swayed her hair.

At that moment, she walked to Jiang Hao’s side and looked into the distance.

“Senior, have you been here before?” Jiang Hao saw a mountain in front of him with some buildings. He wondered if people were living there.

There was nothing wrong with everything here. It was normal for people to live here.

He might even encounter a dragon.

Hong Yuye shook her head slightly.

“Woof! Woof!”

Little Wang suddenly cried out.

A faint light flashed in Jiang Hao’s eyes.

He activated the Art of Reversal and saw that the mountain was surrounded by the Spirit of the Greater World.

The Spirit of the Greater World looked different from what it was outside. It had various forms like livestock, humans, and beasts.

It was as if it could enter a person’s body at any time.

However, these spirits were too numerous, and they would be discovered if they were not careful.

The real danger was on the ground and in the air.

Countless ant-like spirits were crawling on the ground.

There were also wisps of the Greater World’s consciousness that were swaying in the sky.

Although he did not know what the Great Thousand God Sect was up to, he knew that once these things entered his body, they would devour him.

Little Wang looked at Jiang Hao as if it wanted to run and eat everything.

“Maybe on the way,” Jiang Hao said calmly.

It might be rude to let Little Wang run around and eat as it pleased. It would not do to let it run amok.

Little Wang did not have any objections. It looked around for ant-like spirits to eat.

Jiang Hao closed his eyes and began to sense the Spirit of the Greater World. He wanted to see if he could sense it clearly.

It was a pity that there was only a faint trace of it.

He had to admit that the Great Thousand God Sect’s methods were impeccable.

If this thing was used on a large scale, very few could fight it.

Out of curiosity, he asked Hong Yuye about it.

“It’s not as bad as you think. There’s something special hidden in the Dragon Cave. It’s being used by the Great Thousand God Sect, which is why it’s so difficult to detect,” Hong Yuye said.

‘Special item?’ Jiang Hao was a little curious. What kind of special item could make the Great Thousand God Sect so powerful?

If it was not for the Art of Reversal, he would not have been able to detect it.

He had the Heaven Lock Technique, the nameless manual, and a lot of spiritual power.

Even so, it was difficult to detect such power.

What would the Great Thousand God Sect do with such a treasure?

If there was a chance, he could go and take a look at the treasure.

After waiting for a while, Nangong Yue and Nangong Hua finally arrived.

“I’m very sorry. We encountered some problems and were late,” the old woman said.

“Do you know the way?” Jiang Hao asked.

He had not given them his location, but they had found him anyway.

They must have some understanding of this place.

“I know a little,” said Nangong Hua.

They had made a deal to help each other out.

Without that, they all would be lost.

Jiang Hao nodded and didn’t ask anything further.

When they had come over, the Spirit of the Greater World around them automatically separated.

Jiang Hao was unsure if that happened with only the Saint Bandits or everyone.

“Where are we going?” Jiang Hao asked.

He had just tested it on his dragon scales. The road was above the river, not on the mountain.

“Let’s go up the mountain and send a visiting card first. It’ll be much easier to walk from there,” the old woman said.

Jiang Hao nodded.

They were polite.

This was not bad.

However, when Jiang Hao looked up at the mountain, he did not think the place was peaceful.

Many people had already arrived.
