Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness - Chapter 2117

Chapter 2117: After Modification: Chapter 1607 Missed the Best Thing of This Lifetime_2

How could he say such words.

“Mercy should be exercised when it’s appropriate; excessive mercy is just binding oneself.” The Human Emperor took a sip of tea and said, “Especially for someone like you, sir, you’ve already been merciful enough relatively speaking.

After all, you have never acted for the sake of all beings.

If someone questions your mercy, it will only attract disaster.”

In that moment, Jiang Hao felt as if he was already above all things.

The affairs of the world had little to do with him.

How far he could go in the future had nothing to do with this place anymore.

Outside the Human Dao, exists a path that belonged solely to him.

But the road ahead of this path is shrouded in chaos, and he needed to understand the saints of the Human Dao, the beginnings of the Human Dao.

So as to comprehend his own path.

To achieve the saint of his own Tao.

Only by knowing his own path, can he understand the Heavenly Dao, the Human Dao, and the Dark Path.

Only in this way does he qualify to find Cheng Yun.

And becoming a saint, one is qualified to challenge Cheng Yun.

But it’s too difficult.

Time is getting shorter and the odds of success don’t look high.

After chatting for a while, Jiang Hao retrieved a rag from the Human Emperor and said, “Elder, do you have anything else to ask?”

“Did you eat that carrot?” the Human Emperor asked.

That carrot contained the Human Emperor’s Dao.

“Not yet, I plan to eat it when I visit Gu Jin.” Jiang Hao replied.

The Human Emperor’s dao is useful to him, but it no longer influences his strength.

No rush.

Afterwards, Jiang Hao planned to leave, as he wasn’t unfamiliar with the Human Emperor.

Many years ago, they used to chat frequently.

But back then, the Human Emperor had his wife with him.

It was truly different from now.

In those days, the Human Emperor was like an ordinary husband, not knowing why he did such things.

Curious to know, Jiang Hao asked, “Back then, did your wife never know her partner was the Human Emperor?”

“No, she didn’t know, though she knew what I was doing, and sometimes it was indeed busy.” The Human Emperor said with a sigh, “At that time, I wanted to tell her, but she never asked, and said there was no need to tell her.

She said this way she wouldn’t have any worries.”

Jiang Hao nodded and asked, “If one day she wakes up, will you talk about the past?”

“Hard to say.” The Human Emperor reminisced, “Perhaps she won’t let me say, but if she’s curious, I’ll definitely tell her; if she’s concerned, I’ll naturally speak up.”

Jiang Hao stood up and said, “Actually, I can open that coffin now, but I mustn’t.”

This was the decision Jiang Hao gave to the Human Emperor.

In fact, if he was willing, there were two choices placed before the Human Emperor.

Or rather, two possibilities.

One is that he loses in the duel with Cheng Yun.

There is no longer the Human Emperor, nor is there the Blue-skirted Fairy in this world.

Just by opening it now, they might be able to see each other for the last time.

Two is that he wins; by the time he returns, he would be far beyond just a saint, and then if he opened the Blue-skirted Fairy, she would surely be alive, and Xuanyuan Ping’an might also survive.

Jiang Hao chose for the Human Emperor that he would win.

The two of them were put into the coffin by Jiang Hao himself, so he makes the choice.

The Human Emperor’s choice, Jiang Hao did not know, but it was no longer important.

Afterwards, Jiang Hao left.

Before leaving, he saw Xuanyuan Tai and Xuanyuan He, along with the Green Dragon.

He met them as Jiang Hao.

Xuanyuan Tai was very grateful to Jiang Hao for helping to grow the flowers.

Jiang Hao just shook his head, telling them that in fact, he had known everything a long time ago and just wanted to touch that seed.

Xuanyuan Tai just smiled and said it seemed they had been deceived, but there was no displeasure.

Xuanyuan He gave Jiang Hao a storage bag.

He said it contained spirit stones they had saved over the years, as a token of gratitude for his help in the past.

Jiang Hao accepted the spirit stones and asked if he could have some Dragon’s Blood.

He wanted to stew the carrot with a little Dragon’s Blood recently.

The Green Dragon was stunned, then angrily said, “Want some dragon meat too?”

Jiang Hao said that’s okay if it’s available.

Then the Green Dragon looked at Xuanyuan Tai and Xuanyuan He, and seeing them both staring at him, the Green Dragon said angrily, “Why do you always look at me like this every time, always making me bleed painfully.”

Finally, Jiang Hao received quite a bit of Dragon’s Blood, as the dragon had grown a lot recently, so there was more blood.

To repay the three of them.

Jiang Hao left each of them a talisman.

The Green Dragon didn’t think much of it, and after Jiang Hao left, it casually threw it on the ground.

Indicating that even a dog wouldn’t want this thing.

Xuanyuan He shook her head and was about to pick it up and keep it as a memento.

Just before she could squat down, someone had already picked up the talisman.

The person had the demeanor of a scholar, gentle and refined, yet standing there like a towering mountain.

Supporting the sky.

“Elder Xu Bai.” Xuanyuan He was somewhat surprised.

Xu Bai smiled and said, “Fairy, no need for formalities, we are of similar age, we can address each other as peers.”

He looked at the talisman in his hand and said, “Is this from the Dragon Fairy?”

“It’s mine.” The Green Dragon lazily replied, “Do you want it? I’ll sell it to you.”

“Alright, what price would the fairy ask?” Xu Bai seriously inquired.

The Green Dragon wasn’t concerned and said, “Name your price.”

Then Xu Bai handed his storage bag to the Green Dragon.

The Green Dragon: “???”

Then it inspected the storage bag, jolting upright in shock.

With a look of panic, “Are you trying to kill me? Even if you are a prodigy under the Dao Ancestor, you shouldn’t bully a dragon like this.”

Xu Bai shook his head and said, “The main reason is that I truly have nothing better to offer, so I have to exchange what I already have.

Then this talisman is mine.”

In an instant, both Xuanyuan He and Xuanyuan Tai were stunned.

What kind of thing would make the person before them become bankrupt just to purchase?

“What’s wrong with this talisman?” The Green Dragon was puzzled.

“Nothing wrong, I don’t even know its purpose.” Xu Bai replied.

“Then why buy it?”

“Because of the person who drew it.”

“What’s with the person? They just have a good-looking partner.”

“That person is currently… the Dao Ancestor.”

“….”

Moments later, a heart-wrenching howl echoed from the mountains.

——–

Jiang Hao left the Blackheaven Sect and stood in place for a long time, finally deciding to find someone, and after meeting them, he could go see Gu Jin Tian.

Normally, after entering the Devil’s Den, he wouldn’t come out again.

He needed to begin to comprehend the path he was walking.

To transcend the presence of the Heavenly Dao.

Then wait for Gu Jin Tian to become a Saint.

If he doesn’t become a Saint…

He didn’t know what the outcome would be.

In an ordinary bamboo grove.

When Jiang Hao arrived, he saw a familiar person sitting there burning bamboo.

Upon seeing Jiang Hao, the other person smiled and said, “Junior Brother Jiang is here?”

Jiang Hao looked at the other with a sigh, “What is Senior Brother Liu Xingchen doing?”

The person before him was of course Liu Xingchen.

“Just passing the time, roasting by the fire, after all, the dark power has been approaching frequently, and I’m worried it might find me.” Liu Xingchen smiled warmly.

Jiang Hao and Heavenly Note Sect walked over.

Next, Liu Xingchen took out a prepared chicken and started roasting.

Jiang Hao sighed, “Senior Brother Liu really has a lot of stuff on him.”

“But it doesn’t compare to Junior Brother, I hear Junior Brother is now successful and famous.” Liu Xingchen laughed and said:

“He said Junior Brother would surely come to find me, and it seems it’s true.

Junior Brother is looking for him?”

“Yes.” Jiang Hao seriously replied, “I didn’t expect him to be with Senior Brother.

I thought he was with my pet, but he’s not there at all.

Later, as my cultivation grew stronger, I could sense it somewhat.”

As he spoke, Jiang Hao casually pointed at Liu Xingchen.

Soon a robust Taoist appeared beside them, looking at Jiang Hao with a smile, “Dao San, it’s been a long time.”

Jiang Hao looked at the person beside him, originally having many questions, but for a moment didn’t know how to ask.

“Not asking is wise.” The robust master said mysteriously:

“Because that unknown for you means everything remains unfixed.

The more you know, the more easily you become constrained.”

Jiang Hao was somewhat helpless, he just hadn’t decided.

“Master, do you know about the stone pieces?” Jiang Hao asked.

The stone pieces still remain a mystery to this day.

When did Cheng Yun create them?

What is the true purpose? There should logically be other slabs.
