Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

1463  Asking For A Friend (2)

"Who?" Ao Hai asked.

Ao Shi shook his head. "Unfortunately, he didn't leave anything useful behind, but he did leave us the trouble of the New World."

"Is the New World really that troublesome? It should be an incredibly valuable thing. Could it be that the Dragon Clan wasn't strong enough at the time?" Ao Xue asked.

Ao Shi turned to look at Ao Xue. After a long silence, he said, "Maybe. I've never seen that thing myself, but it should not be underestimated. Maybe one day, the Dragon Clan will also try to retrieve the New World. After all..."

As he spoke, Ao Shi looked at the bead-like aura in his hand. This was what the Ancestral Dragon had given them.

It was meant to help them find something.

According to the Ancestral Dragon, something had appeared in the world that could change the fate of the Dragon Clan.

However, they did not know what it was and had to find it.

Once found, the Dragon Clan would be transformed, and retrieving the New World would not be impossible.

"What should we do now?" Ao Xue asked.

Previously, the two of them had split up to pave the way for their return.

The clue from the Ancestral Dragon's Heart was unexpected.

After a long silence, Ao Shi said, "You two continue with your tasks. I'll take care of this matter."

"You're going yourself?" Ao Hai was surprised. "Won't that affect your opportunities?"

"This is also an opportunity," Ao Shi said as he glanced at the bead in his hand. "Some matters are more urgent. If I don't go now, it might be too late later. In a Great Era, it's not just us who are growing stronger—everyone is. I should act now while there are still few who can match me. We should not delay. When the Ancestral Dragon gives a hint, we should go all out."

Hearing this, Ao Hai and Ao Xue fell silent.

"You two stay overseas and continue gathering information. Keep an eye on the Ancestral Dragon's Heart. Also, check with the Black Dragon Clan. They mentioned they found something, didn't they?" Ao Shi said.

At that moment, Ao Hai released the Black Dragon. It was a young Black Dragon, and its strength was only in the Immortal Human Realm.

The black dragon trembled, unsure why he had caught the attention of these three powerful beings.

Despite the grudges between Black Dragons and True Dragons, they did not catch the other without reason.

"I heard your clan is looking for something too?" Ao Hai asked.

"Think carefully before you speak. If you lie, you know the consequences," Ao Xue said coldly.

"The Supreme Nourishment," the black dragon hurriedly replied. "I received that information when I awoke."

"The Supreme Nourishment?" Ao Hai was surprised. "Details?"

"I don't know exactly, but it's certain that this nourishment is extremely rare in history," the Black Dragon quickly said.

"Where is it?" Ao Shi asked in a low voice.

"In the South. I don't know more than that," the Black Dragon said.

Ao Shi thought for a moment, then took the Black Dragon and left. "I'll head to the South. You two keep gathering the necessary information."

With those words, he vanished into the sky.

Ao Hai and Ao Xue glanced at each other before departing as well.

...

At midnight, Jiang Hao entered the stone tablet.

He appeared in the common area and took his seat.

As soon as he entered, he looked at the others. To his surprise, Gui was not present today.

"Is Gui occupied?" Senior Dan Yuan was also curious.

Without Gui, it felt like the gathering was missing an important person.

"Sorry for the delay, Senior Dan Yuan." Just as the meeting was about to begin, a figure quickly passed through the void and landed in the common area.

It was Gui.

"Gui, you're right on time," said Dan Yuan with a smile.

"I ran into some issues," said Gui apologetically.

"No worries," Senior Dan Yuan said as he looked at the others with a gentle smile. "Does anyone have questions about their cultivation?" @@novelbin@@

Since everyone was a Human Immortal at this point and was focused on tempering their immortal bodies, there were not many questions left to ask.

Most issues had already been addressed.

"The information regarding the East Heavenly Pole was correct," said Dan Yuan as he looked at Jiang Hao. "If you need anything, Jing, feel free to ask."

Jiang Hao nodded but did not say anything.

He would claim the reward in the future.

"You should have heard of the Supreme Immortal Court. Does anyone want to know more about its origins, including the names and history of the Three Heavens Beyond the Heaven?" Dan Yuan asked.

After a pause, he added, "Also, have any of you heard of the Ruins of Return?"

"Ruins of Return?" Everyone was surprised.

"It's a blade. If you have any information about it, please let me know," Dan Yuan said with a smile.

'Blade?' Jiang Hao was surprised.

It sounded like an extraordinary weapon. He wondered how it compared to his own Heavenly Blade.

"One more thing," said Dan Yuan as he looked at the gathering. "The Fallen Immortal Clan has obtained the East Heavenly Pole, so the Supreme Immortal Court is bound to be established. They might start recruiting people."

"Does that mean that if other races join the Supreme Immortal Court, they will have conflicts with the human race?" Xing asked.

"Conflicts have always existed, but they could easily escalate," Dan Yuan said softly.

"Should we try to delay the establishment of the Supreme Immortal Court?" Gui asked.

"What will happen if the Supreme Immortal Court is established?" Liu asked curiously.

"The Supreme Immortal Court represents the order of the Fallen Immortal Clan. I don't know what will happen." Dan Yuan shook his head.

Jiang Hao lowered his head in thought. The Supreme Immortal Court had never been established before, so he did not know what would happen this time, but it would likely have significant consequences for the world.

"There's also news that the Fallen Immortal Clan might look for the Nine Nether," Dan Yuan said.

"Now, that's a big deal." Xing felt helpless.

"We are powerless to stop them. We can only rely on the immortal sects," Liu said.

"I'll think of a way to inform the immortal sects," said Xing and nodded.

Jiang Hao thought that their gathering mainly involved running errands.

For things they could not handle, it was better to leave them to more capable people.

Something like retrieving the Nine Nether should definitely be left to the four immortal sects to put a stop to it.

After that, the gathering moved to the trading segment.

"We know the Dragon Clan's intention," Liu said.

He then looked at Senior Dan Yuan.

"You can go ahead and say it," Dan Yuan said.

"They said that the Human Emperor is no longer with us," Liu said.

Upon hearing this, everyone understood. The previous cooperation with the humans was due to the Human Emperor. Since he was gone, the Dragon Clan had to plan for its own future.

Liu looked at Jiang Hao.

Jiang Hao nodded but said nothing. With that, they were even.

The only one who still owed Jiang Hao a reward was Senior Dan Yuan.

"I've found the Golden Dragon, but my people aren't up to her standards. Are either of you available?" Liu asked as he looked at Gui and Jing.

The others were surprised. Gui had left the South again.

Liu then looked at Jiang Hao.

"I'll have to see," he said.

He did not really want to go. The Golden Dragon was definitely not a weakling.

It might be dangerous.

After the Great Era opened, he did not dare to casually appraise entities for fear of being exposed.

When he was weak, he knew very little about them.

Since he had become a True Immortal, he felt that they were even more terrifying.

He did not dare to appraise entities so easily anymore.

"I'm free," said Xing.

Everyone was shocked.

Jiang Hao was also surprised.

Xing was in the South?

Why was he there?

Jiang Hao lowered his head.

"Alright. To win her over, we'll need to give her some gifts," Liu said as he borrowed Senior Dan Yuan's stone tablet for trading.

"Xing, I've prepared the demonic transformation you requested," Zhang said.

Xing handed over the book.

Gui told them that she got an immortal Gu worm. If all went well, she would send something back. The details were still unknown.

After that, she casually asked about You Tian.

Jiang Hao remained silent.

"You Tian is in the Heavenly Note Sect," Xing said. "If you want him, you can take him away by trading resources."

Jiang Hao remained silent, but he finally confirmed who Xing was. He was Xu Bai from the Bright Moon Sect.

Jiang Hao had refrained from responding to the You Tian matter to confirm whether the other party was in the Heavenly Note Sect.

Xing just happened to be in the South, and the only notable people from the Bright Moon Sect were in the Heavenly Note Sect.

Xu Bai was a strong possibility, so Xing must be him.

You Tian's matter would be handled in the next few days. If he left the sect, it would be difficult to find him again.

Jiang Hao was worried he might be exposed.

He had to be more careful.

Fortunately, he was in the West.

"You Tian is in the Heavenly Note Sect?" Gui was a little surprised.

As expected, she still had to rely on the Heavenly Note Sect to find certain people.

Unfortunately, she could not return yet.

After hesitating for a moment, she asked, "I have a friend who was captured by the Fallen Immortal Clan. How can she escape on her own?"

Everyone was speechless.
