Chapter 1155: Comprehending The Dao

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In his courtyard, Jiang Hao was making some talismans.

He was making a Thousand Miles Teleportation Talisman.

It was quite useful. Even the lower-quality ones could save lives.

The last time he went out, he had accepted a mission from Task Hall. He still had to pay the fine. Although it was wasteful, he had to do things according to the rules.

Otherwise, it’s easy to attract attention and things might not go smoothly.

Within the sect, his strength was decent, and his status was not bad either. There was no need for him to cause trouble for himself.

After returning from the Blackheaven Sect, he saw Cheng Chou.

He was already at the late stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

His advancement had gone smoothly.

He looked happy and confident. Fortunately, he had not fallen into the trap of wanting more than he could chew.

Otherwise, it would bring him great trouble.

Cheng Chou returned to work in the Spirit Herb Garden.

Jiang Hao sighed.

Xiao Li, a True Disciple, also often stayed there. Cheng Chou, who had reached the late stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm, also worked in the Spirit Herb Garden.

In the past, only one inner sect disciple used to handle the matters of the garden. It was getting crowded.

He did not know if the Cliff Master would allow it.

If he was unhappy, Xiao Li and Cheng Chou might have to go to other places. He could not leave this garden.

He got the eggshell, and Hu Yuexin’s plan was disrupted.

The only unfortunate thing was that the other party would be hostile toward Smiling San Sheng from here on out.

However, it had nothing to do with Jiang Hao.

There was no need to worry about too many things. He just needed to refine his cultivation in peace.

As for the Great Thousand God Sect’s experiment of creating immortals, he did not care about it.

He could mention it in the gathering and forget about it.

He had not mentioned it because he did not want the Grand Earth Emperor to be too overwhelmed.

Some people should be helped when possible.

The Grand Earth Emperor should be helped.

As for the eggshells, he could not use them right away. They had to be used in order.

Jiang Hao did not think too much about it and continued to follow his daily routine in the sect.

Fortunately, Senior Sister Miao seemed to have disappeared lately and did not bother him.

He was glad. He did not need to listen to her talk endlessly about which Junior Sister was a better match for him.

Time passed.

In the blink of an eye, a few months had passed just like that.

He did not get many bubbles from the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower.

Six months later, around the middle of September, Jiang Hao’s cultivation realm had become much more stable, and his state of mind was also better.

In the past few months, Junior Brother Han had appeared. He seemed to be able to advance.

He had obtained an opportunity in the Corpse Realm. He was also a person with good luck.

Perhaps in less than a year or two, Junior Brother Han would arrive to challenge him again.

Jiang Hao began his lectures again.

Cheng Chou’s cultivation was almost entirely refined.

What was worth mentioning was that Xiao Li was also in the late stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Therefore, one of the original candidates was eliminated, and there was one more added in the middle stage category.

This wasn’t a big deal because changes usually occurred in the early stage of the cultivation realm.

The Foundation Establishment Realm had the most competition, and it would come every few years, which was inevitable.

So, the stronger ones needed to work harder because it was very likely that the resources for the preselected candidates would change hands a few times.

The Golden Core Realm category was not too bad.

Jiang Hao had not received any challenges from those who had advanced so far.

As he lectured, more and more people gathered in the Spirit Herb Garden.

No one dared to act rashly.

After all, the people who had caused trouble previously had basically disappeared.

It was not that they had died, but they could no longer come here.

It might have been because of some spirit herb poisoning. It was related to Bai Ye.

Jiang Hao went to see him again. The other party was still at the early stage of the Primordial Spirit realm, but his injuries had completely healed.

However, he still sat in a wheelchair.

Jiang Hao did not mind. After receiving Bai Ye’s help last time, he no longer used the Spirit Sealing Technique on him.

“Did you hear?” Outside the spirit herb garden, some people were talking among themselves. “I heard that Senior Brother Jiang has recently started the lectures to collect some blood for this path.”

“Why so urgent all of a sudden?” someone asked.

“You don’t know? Senior Brother Han Ming is about to advance. When he reaches the peak of the Golden Core Realm, he’ll definitely challenge Senior Brother Jiang to a match. He was ranked second in the preselection round. That’s why Senior Brother Jiang needs to refine his cultivation and increase his chances of winning.”

“What will happen if Senior Brother Jiang loses?”

“It might turn out to be a relief. The one practicing the Blood Wish Path is not worthy of being a candidate for the seat of the top disciple. But if he loses, he’ll stop the lectures because he won’t need blood any longer. It’ll be us who’ll lose out.”

“That’s true. It’s best to endure it. We can benefit from it, after all.”

Miao Tinglian, who was hiding in the dark, frowned.

The fight between Junior Brother Han and Junior Martial Jiang would indeed be troublesome.

She could not interfere with that.

She shook her head and walked away.

After half a year of studying, she had some new knowledge about the Heaven Divination Technique. She planned to find a woman that was suitable for Junior Brother Jiang.

She could not figure out who was a good match for him at the moment.

She would take it slow. She would examine the people she had listed, ask around about them, and then show them to Jiang Hao.

That way, she could learn more about the technique too.

Another half a year later, Miao Tinglian wrote down the name of the tenth woman in her notebook.

Looking at the names, she frowned.

“Strange… None of them are among the ones I looked for before. Could it be that they aren’t a suitable match at all? What kind of person would be perfect for Junior Brother Jiang? Are my calculations all wrong? But… that’s impossible! Forget it, I’ll just ask Junior Brother Jiang.”

In the Spirit Herb Garden, Jiang Hao looked up at the blue sky in a daze.

It was almost the middle of March. A breeze cooled him. It was a little chilly.

Cheng Chou and the others had not been around for the past few days.

Xiao Li had gone back to pay respects to her parents’ place in her village.

How many years had it been? More than ten years…

Xiao Li went back once every two years.

Occasionally, she tried to rebuild the place if it was damaged.

Lin Zhi also went back.

Lin Mo and Zhao Qingxue went along with him.

The spirit beast followed Lin Zhi secretly.

Everyone had their own past, and they all had their own ideas on how to pursue the path they wanted to take.

Jiang Hao could only watch over them but could not make decisions for them.

If they felt lost and confused, he would occasionally guide them with what he knew.

It was uncertain what these people would achieve in the future.

Jiang Hao looked up at the sky. He felt that the path under his feet seemed to appear one step at a time, but in reality, every step involved endless possibilities. Each simple step had its own unexplored mysteries.

Different paths held endless possibilities.

So where was his own path, and what kind of path was it?

Looking back on the path he had taken, he wondered what kind of path he would end up on.

For a moment, Jiang Hao’s eyes seemed to be filled with endless light.

Then he lost focus again.

An indescribable feeling filled his body.

The immortal fate left behind by Shang An started to melt like ice meeting fire.

“Junior Brother, I’ve worked hard for a year, and finally…”

Miao Tinglian walked over to him excitedly.

Before she even finished her sentence, she arrived in front of Jiang Hao.

Instantly, her eyes narrowed.

She saw Jiang Hao looking up into the sky. His eyes had lost focus.

There was an ethereal feeling around him. She was shocked.

Then, she thought of something.

The first thing she did was to set up an array formation and call Mu Qi over.

When Mu Qi saw Jiang Hao, he was also shocked.

He joined forces with Miao Tinglian to seal off the surroundings.

Under normal circumstances, no experts would approach the Spirit Herb Garden.

If Jiang Hao came to his senses soon, he would not attract any attention.
