Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

Chapter 1332: There’s A Chance To Get Some Spirit Stones, After All!

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The sky suddenly changed. Even thousands of miles away, one could clearly see and feel the power above.

The overseas forces experienced such a powerful presence for the first time in many years.

It was worrisome and terrifying.

This marked the eve of an era and a prelude to chaos.

Powerful entities were gradually revealing their might. Once the era fully descended, the strong would emerge in their entirety.

The overseas forces were destined to change, and it was uncertain how long it would take to stabilize.

Many people were anxious, especially those with insufficient foundations.

They were newly established forces and had barely found their footing.

However, the arrival of the Great Era once again pushed them into an endless storm.

They were like lone boats in the sea, constantly at risk of being swallowed by the ocean or storms. Because of this, they struggled endlessly.

Mr. Tao watched this scene with deep emotion.

He had wanted to see it for himself, but who would have thought that he would actually see it right away?

“Is this the power of the person who is considered the best through the ages?”

He could clearly sense the vast gap between himself and that slash.

Fortunately, his own path was steady.

His immense lifeblood and righteous energy surrounded him. It enhanced his immortal body along with the opportunities of the Great Era.

Perhaps it would not take too many years for him to become a True Immortal.

He hoped that the opportunity of the Great Era would allow him to comprehend the Dao.

Unfortunately, becoming an immortal late was quite difficult.

While he was lost in thought, the traces in the sky gradually disappeared.

The blade had already descended.

Mr. Tao was very curious about the situation over there.

“What a pity that I can’t go there…”

He had no intention of leaving the Heavenly Tower in the face of such opportunities.

That would be self-destructive.

If he lagged behind, it would have a significant impact.

If they failed to become immortals and seize great opportunities before the Great Era arrived, they would likely be left behind by their peers.

Therefore, no matter how curious, Mr. Tao could not abandon his opportunity to go and see what was happening over there.

Zhang could, as it suited her mindset.

This was to prepare for his future enlightenment.

Everyone’s path was different, so their choices were destined to be different, too.

Meanwhile, under Five Peaks Island, the bald man and the other two people looked at the sky in horror. Such an attack was terrifying.

But the opponent showed no intention of holding back, so they could only fight desperately.

Then, the three men roared and charged forward, with no hopes for escape.

Only by fighting could they seize a chance at survival.

The island lived and died with them, so there was no way to escape.

In an instant, the bald man’s body burst with terrifying vitality. The giant sword in his hand met the blade in the sky.

He would kill his way through if necessary.

The three of them soared into the sky.

Boom!

The blade fell.

It collided with the giant sword.

In an instant, starlight covered the entire island.

The power halted, and the world seemed to have lost its sound.

Then…

Boom!

“Smiling San Sheng, it’s not that easy to kill me!” The bald man went against the current and roared.

Boom!

The giant sword shattered, and the bald man collapsed under the starlight. Then, a huge impact swept in all directions.

The waves surged and forced the people around to retreat.

The Red Dragon looked at the terrifying blade in confusion.

What had happened to his brother?

How had he become so terrifyingly fierce?

Winning against the Five Demons was impressive enough, but this blade’s slash was even more shocking.

A late-stage True Immortal?

The new incarnation of his elder brother indeed lived up to the expectations of the first one.

Shangguan Qingsu’s eyes widened in disbelief.

Although she could not understand, she realized that Smiling San Sheng seemed stronger than before.

After a while, the starlight dissipated.

Jiang Hao stood high in the sky and looked below.

The seawater quickly returned to normal.

But…

There was nothing left in the area where Five Peaks Island used to be.

Only seawater poured in.

The island was obliterated with just a single strike.

It had vanished without a trace.

The bald men and the others had also died by his blade.

The bald man and the others also died completely in this slash.

Looking at all this, Jiang Hao sighed.

Life is a journey against the current, and he was but a traveler.

If he was not careful, he too could vanish on the path like the Five Demons.

At that moment, there was only the sound of the waves. No one spoke or moved.

The strong ones waited in the shadows, while the weaker cultivators feared that the blade might drop on them.

After a long time, the seawater filled up everything and covered all traces of destruction.

Jiang Hao looked around.

He could clearly sense that some experts had retreated.

It was not that they were afraid of him, but that the Five Demons had died too quickly.

They simply could not act recklessly because they did not know what other hidden secrets Smiling San Sheng held.

One slip, and they would suffer the fate of the Five Demons.

No one was willing to take the risk.

Smiling San Sheng would not disappear from the world. There would be a chance in the future to face him.

At that moment, Jiang Hao’s gaze fell on the man who called himself The End of All Things.

Meeting him like this was far from a happy event.

That man was the mastermind behind The End of All Things.

He sometimes seemed to be The End of All Things in its entirety, but other times, he seemed to have nothing to do with that organization at all.

The other party’s vision had completely surpassed how The End of All Things operated.

He desired the world to come to an end so that it could be built anew.

He did not have any ill intentions toward anyone but hoped the world would end itself.

He was seemingly gentle, but he was the most dangerous of all.

The task he had wanted Jiang Hao to fulfill remained incomplete. It was unclear whether he was here to urge Jiang Hao to complete it soon.

Then, Jiang Hao looked at the Red Dragon.

After hesitating for a moment, he headed in the direction of The End of All Things.

It seemed an appropriate time to leave this place.

It would be difficult to find the man who called himself The End of All Things if he was gone this time.

He had promised Hong Yuye that he would inquire about something with him, after all.

It felt inappropriate to just leave without doing what he promised.

The man who called himself The End of All Things smiled at him. “It’s been too long.”

Jiang Hao felt a little odd when he heard that.

It did not seem like a few years or decades, but an endless time had passed.

Was the other party referring to him as Gu Jin?

“Indeed, it’s been too long,” said Jiang Hao indifferently.

He slowly landed in front of that man.

“Shall we walk?” he asked.

Jiang Hao nodded. “After you, Senior.”

The man stepped forward, and the two quickly disappeared on the sea surface.

The Red Dragon looked on but did not plan to follow.

“What a pity!” The Red Dragon sighed.

He felt a little regretful that he did not make a move today.

However, he felt that his elder brother would definitely come looking for him.

The look in his eyes had implied everything. His brother had something to say to him.

There was a chance to get some spirit stones, after all.

“Let’s go to the Jade Cloud Pavilion. You guys also have to report back,” said Chi Tian.

“Senior, are the Five Demons really dead?” Tang Ya asked.

The power had been too overwhelming. She had not been able to see anything clearly.

“Yes. They’re dead,” said Chi Tian nonchalantly. “The number one in history is indeed extraordinary. I’ve never seen anyone like him. The Dragon Clan definitely doesn’t have an existence like that. I’m just uncertain how far he can go in the future, and if he’ll be able to reach the end of his path.”

Zhu Shen hesitated and asked, “Such achievements aren’t enough? Is there still more to overcome?”

Although Smiling San Sheng had not been an immortal for many years, he had reached the late stage of the True Immortal Realm in just five years after becoming an immortal. He had rapidly advanced from the Immortal Human Realm to the True Immortal Realm.

It was unimaginable. It was impossible that he did not possess some secret techniques.

Hearing this, Chi Tian laughed. “Impressive, right? But no matter how impressive, it’s uncertain how far he can go in the future. The path of the Great Dao is difficult. If one cannot comprehend it, one’s progress will halt, and a single thought can plunge one into the abyss. The path is not easy. Even the most brilliant of talents can abruptly hit a dead end. This is the truth of the Great Dao. No matter how good the foundation is, it can be ruthlessly eliminated by the Great Dao. It can trap even more people in its grasp.”

Zhu Shen and Tang Ya found it hard to believe.

“So… is it possible that Smiling San Sheng might disappear in the future and become just an ordinary immortal?” Tang Ya asked.

Chi Tian smiled and nodded. “It’s possible. There is the Heavenly Immortal Realm above the True Immortal Realm. If he’s unable to ascend to higher realms while others do, what will become of Smiling San Sheng? Don’t worry. The Great Era isn’t here yet. When it’s here, you’ll understand that a few years or a few thousand years mean nothing at all. Perhaps you’ll be a part of this cruel and ruthless path…”
