Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

Chapter 1305: Master, Your Knife Is Too Sharp. Will It Hurt Mistress?

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Half a month later, around early August, a young man in tattered clothes lay on the sand in the Misty Desert.

His aura was calm, and his breath was steady. The surrounding sandstorm did not get close to him.

At that moment, the young man’s fingers twitched, and he frowned slightly.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes.

In that instant, the unknown protection disappeared, and the wind and sand fell on him.

The scorching heat followed.

The blazing sun above made Chu Chuan uncomfortable.

It seemed his body had not endured such temperatures for a long time.

“What happened?” He slowly got up. He was completely unaware of his current situation.

Why had he fainted? How long had passed? He was utterly confused.

But as he looked around, he froze.

In front of him, a massive sand cave had appeared at some unknown point.

The cave was so vast that he could not see its end.

Within the cave stood a magnificent stone city.

“What is this place?” Chu Chuan wanted to search further, and there were no more traces of flying insects.

His pursuers had disappeared.

Not only that, but it also seemed he had entered a secret realm within the Misty Desert.

Without hesitation, he stepped inside.

Although he did not know if the danger behind him had temporarily vanished or was something else, he had to go in and hide now.

As for the possibility of running into more danger, he did not care because he was already in grave danger.

On the other side, in the southern Imperial City, Bi Zhu sat in the pavilion. She was drinking tea and eating pastries.

Life had been quite comfortable lately.

The Imperial City, protected by ancestors, was indeed much safer than the outside.

The last time, when she visited the ancestors in the Ancestral Hall, they were so excited that the hall almost shattered.

She had to set the stone tablets one by one.

They were enthusiastic.

She felt guilty for not visiting more often.

“Princess. Something big has happened in the South,” Qiao Yi said with a serious face.

“What is it?” Bi Zhu put down her pastry and asked.

“A blade intent has appeared in the Misty Desert,” Qiao Yi said.

Bi Zhu frowned. “Are you saying that the blade intent that hung upside down was in the Misty Desert?”

“Yes, it was reported by a small sect passing by. They said even a grain of sand could shatter their flying swords. If they hadn’t been lucky, they would have been buried in the Misty Desert. Afterward, someone went in to investigate but found no signs of battle. They guessed someone was practicing their blade techniques in the Misty Desert, which caused quite a commotion,” said Qiao Yi in fear.

They had also passed by the Misty Desert and might have been covered by that terrifying blade intent if not for their luck.

It would be a challenge to survive, especially since the blade’s intent had not dissipated.

Bi Zhu frowned.

It had to be the Misty Desert.

If it were somewhere else, she would not have thought much of it.

But it seemed unlikely.

“How powerful is it?” Bi Zhu decided to investigate first.

“Very powerful. It covered an area beyond ordinary cultivators’ understanding. Some say even immortals might not have such power,” Qiao Yi replied.

Bi Zhu sighed.

The South was not safe anymore.

However, the person she was supposed to meet was coming soon, and she could inquire then.

Not long ago, she had spoken with Gu Changsheng.

She had also gained an understanding of her younger sister’s demonic beast.

She could try to deceive her. With her sister’s talent, she might not even notice.

It all depended on whether the person coming was the one she expected.

If it was, everything would be settled.

If that person took action, the plan would be foolproof.

…

Jiang Hao had returned from the Misty Desert half a month ago.

That Insect Master was dead. Ultimately, Jiang Hao had superior skills.

As for the other people who were there, he did not get involved.

As long as he could control the situation, it was fine.

If it was out of his control, he had to prioritize his own safety.

Therefore, he was not a good person.

The previous battle had made him understand the power of the Primordial Heavenly Blade and the Galaxy Technique.

If he had not used his full strength, he might not have gained a deeper understanding of the Galaxy.

Sometimes, only by using all one’s strengths can one understand one’s shortcomings and achieve deeper insights.

With this matter settled, he could calmly study the Black-Yellow Curse and head to the West after he was done.

There was no rush, but he had to try to reach the middle stage of the True Immortal Realm soon.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

If he could reach the late stage, that would be even better.

Before the Great Era arrived, he needed to be capable enough to go overseas.

Since using his blade at the Misty Desert, he had a newfound confidence.

He might be able to kill a middle-stage True Immortal. After all, he was only a step away from the middle stage of the True Immortal Realm.

With the Dao energy and the Heavenly Blade, the gap in strength should not be that big.

“Master, why is the tree bare?” asked the spirit beast.

“It was hit by the blade’s edge,” Jiang Hao said after a moment of silence.

“Was it your blade, Master?” asked the spirit beast.

“Yeah,” Jiang Hao said casually.

The Great Era was about to arrive, and Jiang Hao was pondering whether to let the Immortal Peach Tree undergo its last incarnation.

If successful, he would likely get a purple-gold bubble.

In the past few decades, he had only managed to obtain one.

If he could get another one, he might be able to speed up the time it took for him to become stronger.

The good news was that the Longevity Fruit, after being nurtured, had produced another bubble.

He could basically confirm that every fifteen days, a bubble would appear.

The Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower produced one every seventeen days. If he was lucky, he could get two in a month.

He could get nearly five bubbles this month.

With that, Jiang Hao looked at his interface.

[Name: Jiang Hao]

[Age: 71]

[Cultivation: Early Stage of the True Immortal Realm]

[Cultivation Method: Heavenly Sound Hundred Revolutions, Hong Meng Heart Sutra]

[Divine Ability: Nine Revolutions Death Substitution (unique), Daily Appraisal, Clear and Pure Heart, Reappearance of Hidden Spirit, Divine Might, Revival of Withered Tree, Heavenly Cauldron, Indestructible Vajra, Myriad Nature Forest]

[Lifeblood: 47/100 (can be cultivated)]

[Cultivation: 49/100 (can be cultivated)]

[Divine Abilities: 2/3 (cannot be obtained)]

He had almost half.

He needed one hundred and four more points.

If he got five bubbles a month, it would take more than one year and a half to reach a hundred and four points.

By the year after next, he could advance to the middle stage of the True Immortal Realm. It was too long.

He was racing against time before the Great Era.

“Master, isn’t your blade too sharp?” asked the spirit beast in concern. “If you find a mistress in the future, won’t she get hurt?”

Jiang Hao turned to look at the spirit beast.

It fell silent.

If his blade was too sharp, it could indeed hurt others, especially if things went out of his control.

Lately, his understanding of the Dao had deepened, and the Heaven Blade had been sharpened for eighty-one days. Its power gave him chills.

Sometimes, he felt like he could not fully control it.

Such a thing was dangerous for him. The blade in his hand and the Dao energy would become more potent over time until one day, he could not control it and might end up hurting others and himself.

Jiang Hao lowered his head in thought. He needed to grow stronger.

The Dao and his mental state went hand in hand.

If both were strong, he could withstand endless things.

If they were weak, his defenses would collapse at any moment.

“Let’s go to the Spirit Herb Garden,” Jiang Hao said and stood up

He needed a peaceful life to calm his heart.

He needed to understand himself and others better.

His heart still had to settle, feel, and understand.
