Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

Chapter 1220: Jing Appears After Fifteen Years (1)

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the sea near the Shangguan Clan’s area, Bi Zhu felt that something was strange.

“It’s been so many years, but that thing hasn’t been taken away.”

“Princess, when are we going back?” asked Qiao Yi.

“There’s no rush. We can return in another two or three years.” Bi Zhu leaned on the table. “There might be major changes overseas in the next few years. It’s really strange…”

“Princess, what is strange?” Qiao Yi asked.

Her cultivation realm had improved, and she was already at the late stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm.

It had taken less than forty years for her to reach this realm. It was quite fast.

Bi Zhu sighed. She wondered why the world had fallen into chaos right after Jing had gone into seclusion for fifteen years.

Wherever she went, she saw chaos.

When they were in the South, there was chaos. Her two brothers had been extremely busy because of it.

There were countless natural and man-made disasters.

The royal family and the immortal sects tried their best to help, but the drought and floods could not be stopped.

The South was on the verge of collapse.

People opened warehouses everywhere and stored food there. The situation became a little better because of that.

Later, Bi Zhu went overseas and saw that the overseas was in chaos too.

The sea waves surged and swept across countless islands. Some poisonous creatures had appeared in some parts of the sea and turned these areas into dead zones.

Even with many cultivators helping overseas, they still could not withstand it.

Only some powerful sects remained unscathed.

But the calamities continued to affect everyone and made it extremely dangerous to traverse the sea. It was not safe at all.

“Do you think the Twelve Heavenly Kings can really become immortals?” Bi Zhu asked.

Many people knew that the Twelve Heavenly Kings were preparing to become immortals.

“I don’t know.” Qiao Yi shook her head. “But no one seems to know what might happen when they try to become immortals anyway.”

Bi Zhu nodded. That was true.

Many people knew that the Twelve Heavenly Kings wanted to become immortals, but no one knew when they planned to do so.

Bi Zhu could guess. She thought that it might be soon. Maybe in the next few years. But she did not have many details.

There was another reason she wanted to stay overseas.

When the immortal opportunity came about, she wanted to grab it.

So far, her luck had not changed, which meant that she was not in danger.

If her luck blazed again, she would have to leave. She could not risk it, no matter how great the opportunity might be.

“Princess, have you thought it through?” Qiao Yi suddenly asked.

“About what?” Bi Zhu asked.

“Your age,” Qiao Yi said.

“My age? I’m only eighteen. What about it?” Bi Zhu asked.

“An ordinary person only lives for a few decades. You’re eighteen. You have maybe another seventy or eighty years to live,” said Qiao Yi.

Bi Zhu understood. “It’s okay. We’ll cross the bridge when we come to it. My brothers will understand.”

Qiao Yi nodded.

Although Princess Bi Zhu was always criticized when she returned home, she still returned after a while. It was sad to think that she would not be returning home soon.

They had been overseas for many years. It would not be a big deal for them to stay a few years longer.

Qiao Yi was relieved that they did not encounter the Golden Core Realm experts this time.

She did not encounter any Golden Core experts.

The Heavenly Spirit Tribe did not have that many people around, so she was not worried about being discovered.

She had better luck than the other members of the Heavenly Spirit Tribe and had learned four Heaven-Bestowed Cultivation Techniques.

There was also the secret technique of the Saint Bandits that allowed her to cultivate the other four techniques simultaneously.

Although it was not much at the moment, her improvement in her cultivation realm would be great in the future.

It was just that the princess was able to wait for such an opportunity so casually that made Qiao Yi curious about Princess Bi Zhu’s real strength.

It had been so many years, but she had never seen Princess Bi Zhu in action.

Bi Zhu was still paying attention to the Shangguan Clan.

She knew that this clan had a history with Gu Changsheng.

What made her even more interested was that these people were able to suppress the curse because of Smiling San Sheng, but their improvement over the years had been impressive.

They also did not seem like they wanted to be under other people’s control.

Just as she marveled at the lack of vision of this clan, she suddenly sensed the vibration of the stone tablet.

Then, she decided to go to another island.

Qiao Yi did not refuse.

That night, they found a room to stay in. Bi Zhu lay down on the bed.

It was midnight when Bi Zhu entered the stone tablet.

For the past ten years, only four people attended the gathering, excluding Senior Dan Yuan.

She did not know if Jing would be present this time.

Without Jing, there was no news about the three dangerous pearls.

She did not know if something bad was happening because of them.

When she entered the stone tablet, she counted the number of people who appeared.

She counted five people, excluding Senior Dan Yuan!

Gui was stunned.

She realized that Jing had joined after fifteen years of absence.

She was not the only one who had noticed it. The others were also shocked.

However, they did not say anything.

Instead, they greeted Senior Dan Yuan.

“Looks like you’re out of seclusion, Friend Jing,” said Dan Yuan with a smile.

Jiang Hao nodded but did not say anything.

After that, the gathering progressed as usual.

Senior Dan Yuan asked everyone if they had any problems with their cultivation.

Gui asked about the Heaven-Bestowed Cultivation Techniques.

Senior Dan Yuan answered their questions one by one.

After that, he asked if there had been any progress with the information on the Four Great Monsters.

Jiang Hao was surprised.

After fifteen years, when he saw the stone tablet vibrate, he hesitated to enter it.

It was almost time. He had done everything that he needed to. He could not make any more progress in the remaining time.

He had prepared everything he needed to do. The rest would depend on Hai Luo and the other kings.
