Chapter 1322: My Dear Brother Has Come to the Heavenly Note Sect as a Spy? (1)

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

At night, Jiang Hao walked along the river and let the moonlight shine down on him.

A sense of coolness filled him with a bit of joy.

On the path of the great Dao, his heart had become more open, as if the bright world had become much clearer.

The future path also seemed easier to walk.

Moreover, his cultivation had progressed significantly.

He was now closer to reaching the late stage of the True Immortal Realm.

“It seems that after reaching the True Immortal Realm, the cultivation speed hasn’t slowed down too much.” Jiang Hao sighed.

However, it was just good fortune for now, and the future would inevitably become more difficult.

He still needed to quickly improve his cultivation. The more powerful he was, the more secure he felt.

However, it was a little inappropriate for him not to answer the questions seriously today.

The newcomers were not as outstanding as he had hoped, and there were no spies among them.

It was a bit of a pity that he could not allocate disciples to the rest of the branches.

If he wanted to establish a reputation, he could not be too selfish.

He should use his perspective to select suitable disciples for the various branches.

He wanted to see if he could get anything from it.

Having missed the opportunity today, he would have to wait until next week.

He would take these few days to compose his state of mind.

When he returned to the courtyard, he saw that the spirit beast was gazing longingly at the Longevity Fruit.

“Master, you’re back? Come and take a look!” said the spirit beast excitedly.

Jiang Hao walked over.

He nurtured the Longevity Fruit every day.

Previously, the Longevity Fruit had shown signs of new ants.

By now, they should have emerged.

As expected, new ants appeared in the anthill.

But instead of striving to go far, each ant was digging holes and planting things.

Everything was progressing slowly.

Jiang Hao kept watching them.

The ant planted a purple seed and started watering it.

He saw an ant plant a purple seed, and then begin watering and tending to it.

On the first day, he saw the seed sprout.

On the second day, it turned into a sapling.

On the third day, it became a towering tree.

On the fourth day, flower buds appeared.

On the fifth day, fruits formed.

On the sixth day, the fruits ripened.

On the seventh day, the fruits fell, and the tree withered.

On the eighth day, the fruit broke open and turned into an ant, which continued digging and planting seeds.

In the morning, Jiang Hao watched this scene for a long time.

He could not understand it but felt as though he had seen something meaningful.

This process was similar to his spring’s growth and autumn’s harvest, yet also different.

After thinking for a long time, he realized he had overlooked the one who planted the seed initially.

Where had it gone?

“Master, it’s time for you to give a lecture,” said the spirit beast.

Seven days had passed, and it was indeed time for him to give a lecture.

It was a sect mission, so he could not ignore it.

He preferred quiet days when he could do what he wanted.

Unfortunately, in the Great Era, he had to protect himself.

Everything was beyond his control.

Outside the sect, he talked to Disciple Nangong.

This time, Jiang Hao noticed a different kind of respect from him.

The other party seemed to have benefited from the meditation last time.

“Elder,” Jiang Hao said politely.

Disciple Nangong, who appeared middle-aged, had managed to improve his cultivation a little.

It was all because of Jiang Hao’s lecture.

Although he had not said anything yet, he had benefited a lot from it.

At that moment, he deeply understood how big the gap between the top disciples and ordinary disciples was.

Even someone who was just a candidate was this powerful.

He realized that he could not be arrogant with them.

It was better to be humble and respectful.

“Fellow Disciple, please forgive me. We’re of the same generation. You can just call me ‘Senior Brother’ instead of ‘Elder.’ I hope you don’t mind, Junior Brother Jiang,” said Disciple Nangong.

He had not been like this before. Jiang Hao sighed in his heart.

After that, he addressed him as “Senior Brother.”

“This time, these disciples were taught by a Senior Sister from the Hundred Bones Forest. She has chosen some people to be sent to the respective branches,” said Disciple Nangong, “So, you have no authority to allocate them elsewhere.”

Jiang Hao nodded.

The three people who were holding the lectures had the right to allocate the disciples to various branches.

Last time, when he allocated the disciples, the others could not choose them again.

Similarly, if others had done it, he could not do so.

However, there was a downside to this. The other instructors might ignore those who were not chosen by the previous instructors.

It did not affect him much anyway.

In his eyes, all newly recruited disciples were the same.

After sitting down, the juniors who were whispering stopped and listened.

As usual, Jiang Hao glanced at the jade slip and found out the details about these disciples.

There were two people with top-tier talents, four with superior talents, and twelve with above-average talents.

There was one more top-tier disciple, but others were about the same as before.

Jiang Hao observed and noticed a girl on the edge.

She had top-tier talent.

She was assigned to the Cliff of Broken Hearts.

“Senior Sister Ye did not assign two more disciples with superior talents.”

Jiang Hao was surprised.

Allocating those with superior talents would obviously add to her credits.

He had not assigned most of them last time either, except for the chubby boy.

In addition, the ones with top-tier talent did not stand out much. Maybe Senior Sister Ye Yaqing felt the same.

As the fifth-ranked top disciple, she did not need to be known for allocating disciples.

But…

Jiang Hao looked around and realized that this batch of new disciples was not ordinary.

Three disciples hid their cultivation realms.

Two were at the Return to Void Realm.

Another one was at the Primordial Spirit Realm, with a good treasure that concealed her aura.

Besides them, two others had marks of the Great Thousand God Sect.

One person was very problematic. He had the aura of the Holy Master.

Azure Mountain and the Blackheaven Sect were the only ones who had the Holy Master’s divine souls.

He did not expect them to infiltrate the Heavenly Note Sect like this.

“Why did you come to the Heavenly Note Sect?” Jiang Hao asked softly.

Before doing anything, Jiang Hao wanted to ask these people for their reasons.
