Jiang Hao did not pay much attention to the people from the Great Thousand God Sect.
He had not made an enemy out of any sect, except Feng Hua.
The other party was difficult to deal with and extremely dangerous.
They could not coexist.
One day, one of them would have to die.
However, it was not the time yet to do that. He could make a move after he successfully became an immortal.
If he failed to become an immortal…
Everything would be over.
Then, it would not matter who lived and who died.
After leaving the Lawless Tower, Jiang Hao returned to the Spirit Herb Garden.
Lin Zhi was back.
He was sparring with Xiao Li.
“Why aren’t you fighting back properly?” Xiao Li asked curiously.
She continued to attack.
He looked at Xiao Li’s merciless punches and kicks.
Mu Yin shuddered.
He could not help but admire this Senior Brother for being able to take a beating for so long.
Senior Sister Xiao Li’s attacks were too extreme. She had even trained in combat so that she could beat the monk wholeheartedly.
Mu Yin shook his head and chuckled. “Too caught up in appearances.”
“Monk, do you know when to realize what might be stepping on your head?” asked the spirit beast.
At that moment, the beast hopped on Mu Yin’s head.
“On my head?” The monk looked up. “It’s just you, Lord beast. Buddha, devils, and living beings are all the same.”
“You’re wrong.” The spirit beast shook its head.
“Wrong?” Mu Yin was surprised.
“It’s my feet on your head.” The spirit beast oddly emitted a light.
“Your feet?” Mu Yin frowned.
“Yes. My feet. You always try to interpret everything in terms of Zen. You understand the Buddhist teachings, but you never find liberation. Feet are just feet, sometimes. You don’t have to attach a philosophical meaning to it. That just limits you.” The light on the spirit beast’s body grew brighter.
“I’ll never find liberation?” Mu Yin looked puzzled.
But before he could think further, the spirit beast said again, “Do you think there was heaven and earth first, or the Dao?”
Mu Yin pondered deeply for a moment and replied, “It should be the Dao, right?”
“There was Dao first, and then heaven and earth. Lord Beast, you must have existed before the Dao.”
The light on the spirit beast’s body shone like that of a celestial being. “That’s why my friends always respect me.”
The moment Mu Yin heard that, it was like a revelation.
In an instant, he seemed to understand something profound but could not quite grasp it.
Just a few words made him feel this way. Lord Beast was truly incomprehensible.
“They all say I have wisdom, but compared to you, Lord beast, I seem quite ordinary,” Mu Yin said earnestly.
Jiang Hao, who was watching from behind, felt surprised.
The spirit beast taught not only Chu Chuan and Lin Zhi but also Mu Yin. This was unexpected.
The spirit beast was a trickster.
Seeing Lin Zhi reminded him of Bing Qing. He needed to handle her situation.
Her request was simple. She just wanted to be with her friend.
He wondered if he could take her to the Cliff of Broken Hearts.
At that time, the spirit beast, Xiao Li, and Bing Qing would be released from their bonds together.
It was also a form of mutual help.
Lin Zhi would be the last to leave, but there was no rush.
As for Mu Yin, he just needed to provide temporary guidance.
He was devoted to Buddhism, so it would be easiest to let him go.
He would go to the North or the West to seek enlightenment.
In a few hundred years, perhaps he would no longer be in the Heavenly Note Sect.
If trouble arose, it would not be connected to him.
They were all outstanding individuals, and the Heavenly Note Sect was just too small to accommodate them all.
When the Great Era War began, the world would be filled with more experts.
At that time, countless legends from all clans would emerge and leave their name in the world.
Jiang Hao did not want that. He just wanted peace.
The Great Era War would be too chaotic. It would not be right for him.
His aspirations lay elsewhere.
After silently dismissing Cheng Chou, Jiang Hao entered the Spirit Herb Garden.
He asked if there had been any recent developments.
“A senior alchemist from the Candlelight Pill Pavilion came for a visit,” Cheng Chou said.
“For spirit herbs?” Jiang Hao asked.
“It seems to be for you, Senior Brother. However, since you weren’t here at the time, he left. Judging from his appearance, he probably had some request for you,” Cheng Chou said.
Jiang Hao was surprised. ‘The Candlelight Pill Pavilion?’
He did not know many people from there, and if it was related to spirit herbs, Cheng Chou could handle it.
It should not be related to Senior Sister Leng Tian.
That would not make sense.
“Do you know who it was?”
“He didn’t say, and I didn’t dare ask,” Cheng Chou said.
Jiang Hao nodded.
Since Cheng Chou was only at the Foundation Establishment Realm, it would not be safe to ask.
As for the other party’s cultivation realm, Cheng Chou would not be able to figure it out.
“Are you planning to advance soon?” Jiang Hao asked.
Cheng Chou was in the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm. With his guidance and Xiao Li’s resources, he now had the qualifications to break through to the late stage.
“Yes. I didn’t expect to be able to advance so quickly. I’ve been a bit worried lately,” Cheng Chou said truthfully.
‘Quickly?’
Jiang Hao recalled that Chu Chuan was already at the early stage of the Golden Core Realm. Cheng Chou’s progress was certainly not “quick”.
“It’s alright. I’ll explain the mid-stage cultivation and the breakthrough situation for you.” Jiang Hao sat down.
After the explanation, Cheng Chou would be ready to advance.
Afterward, Jiang Hao had nothing else to do and could tend to the Spirit Herb garden.
Even if the Twelve Heavenly Kings were preparing, there was no rush.
He needed to continue refining his cultivation.
Later, Jiang Hao explained some cultivation problems to Cheng Chou. He left him to contemplate on it.
Without contemplation and forging one’s own path, breaking through to the Golden Core Realm would be too difficult.
In the evening, Cheng Chou went back, presumably to advance.
After finishing with the spirit herbs, Jiang Hao tasked the spirit beast and Xiao Li to watch over it and then left.
He needed to prepare for the gathering.
Back in the courtyard, he took out the notebook and reviewed the key points from the last gathering.
Although he remembered most of it, he was afraid of forgetting some details.
The consequences of that would be unpredictable.
Eight or nine months had passed since the last gathering.
At midnight, Jiang Hao entered the stone tablet.
The number of people remained unchanged.
After exchanging greetings with Senior Dan Yuan, they all sat cross-legged on the floor.
“Do you have any questions about your cultivation?” Dan Yuan asked.
“I want to ask about some cultivation issues regarding the Corpse Clan. They want to cultivate ordinary methods but can’t. However, there are rumors that some members of the Corpse Clan can cultivate ordinary methods,” Zhang said.
“It’s possible, but corpse energy is different from spiritual energy. If the Corpse Clan wants to cultivate ordinary methods, they need the essence of the Foundation Establishment Realm, the source of the Golden Core Realm, or the brilliance of the Primordial Spirit Realm. Choose one of them.” Dan Yuan smiled in response.
Jiang Hao was surprised.
He then thought of the divine corpses of the Divine Corpse Sect.
It seemed that they could only possess and cultivate after the Foundation Establishment Realm.
Could it be connected to this?
After confirming that there were no further questions, Dan Yuan continued, “There’s no problem with the information Gui brought us. You can ask for the reward.”
Jiang Hao understood that the matter of the mutated beast of the North was true.
He did not know where the beast was and what role they played in all this. As long as they did not cause accidents when he ascended to immortality, it was fine.
He just needed to wait to discuss overseas matters and find out when Mu Longyu would return.
This way, he could understand the progress of his plan.
