Chapter 513: Asking About the Sect Master’s Cultivation Realm

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

At the Imperial City, in the courtyard, Bi Zhu opened her eyes and looked at the bright moon outside the window.

The moonlight was like a white frost illuminating her bed.

She sat up and then walked outside.

As she moved, the surrounding formations began to disappear. These were the precautions that she had put into effect, just in case.

Even entering the gathering was somewhat dangerous. She didn’t want to be caught off guard.

Proper preparation was essential. The doors and windows had hidden curses. If one’s cultivation was insufficient, one would turn into puddles of blood in an instant.

At this moment, Qiao Yi, who was guarding the courtyard, looked over.

“Eh? Qiao Yi, aren’t you going to rest?” Bi Zhu was surprised to see her.

“All the princesses and princes have returned and brought back many people along. I was worried that someone might pester you, so I stayed here,” Qiao Yi said.

“You always work so hard, Qiao Yi,” Bi Zhu said with a smile. “Thank you.”

“Not at all. It would be even better if you were willing to work harder, Princess,” Qiao Yi whispered.

“I always work very hard,” Bi Zhu said stubbornly.

Qiao Yi didn’t say much. She was curious why the princess was up so late.

“What’s the matter?” Qiao Yi asked.

Bi Zhu’s eyes flickered. “What was the name of the Shangguan family’s heir?”

“Shangguan Hengyu.”

“Shangguan Hengyu?” Bi Zhu said with a sly smile.

“Why do you ask about him so suddenly, Princess?” Qiao Yi was puzzled.

Normally, the princess wouldn’t care about such things. She couldn’t sleep and was suddenly asking about him.

Something was strange.

“I think that person might not be so simple. I plan to meet him,” Bi Zhu said as she rested her chin on her hand on the stone table.

Qiao Yi sighed. She felt that the princess was going to give her a headache again.

When she was in her twenties, the princess was already quite mischievous.

Later, in her hundreds, she matured a lot. Now in her three hundreds, she barely interacted with others.

Was she feeling nostalgic for her childhood?

“It’s fine if you want to meet him. But you should be careful. The people from the Shangguan family shouldn’t be provoked, especially considering your age. There aren’t many people looking out for you,” Qiao Yi said.

“Alright. If General Lin comes again, we’ll go along with the flow,” said Bi Zhu. She got up from the table.

“The gathering is over?”

Hong Yuye looked at the man in front of her.

“Yes.” Jiang Hao nodded.

He originally wanted to take out the notebook and write things down, but he didn’t want to do that now.

Hong Yuye’s sudden appearance made him a bit worried.

Normally, she only visited him a few days after the sect mission was over.

He realized that he should have gone back to check on the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower.

But he gave up on that.

What if something had happened, and she blamed him for it? He couldn’t bear that terrifying aura.

“Are you nervous?” Hong Yuye squinted her eyes.

Jiang Hao stood up. “Senior, meeting you here is indeed nerve-wracking. I’m worried that the environment here might not be suitable for you.” Hong Yuye chuckled.

Jiang Hao dared not say anything more. He remained silent.

Fortunately, she didn’t mention the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower. Otherwise, he didn’t know how to explain the situation. “What about the records?” Hong Yuye asked.

“I haven’t written it down yet,” Jiang Hao said.

“Then, what are you waiting for?” Hong Yuye asked.

Jiang Hao took out the book, sat across from Hong Yuye, and wrote down key points from the gathering.

Before writing, he recalled the details of the gathering.

He had gotten some of the information from appraisals, and they needed to be sorted out.

It’s impossible for the royal family to cooperate with the Saint Bandits, so the Saint Bandits might be planning to seize the royal family’s fortune and the blessing of the land. A key figure in this was Shangguan Hengyu.

Chi Tian has escaped again, but it seems his location is known. Not necessary to worry about it for now.

The Saint Bandits’ plan to seize the fortune might start from the Sea Fog Cave. Senior Dan Yuan realized something, so he asked Gui to destroy their altar in the Imperial City.

The End of All Things might start searching for the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl again.

After finishing it, Jiang Hao put down his pen. That should be all.

The matter of Shang An wasn’t worth mentioning, so he didn’t write it down.

Later, he would inform Hong Yuye about it in passing.

He saw Hong Yuye looking down at his notebook.

He pushed the book toward her. “Senior, please take a look.”

“Tell me about the gathering,” Hong Yuye said softly.

Jiang Hao briefly summarized what had happened at the gathering. Hong Yuye didn’t say a word throughout the whole process. She seemed uninterested in all of this.

However, she asked a few questions about Shang An possibly looking for the Charm Goddess.

“Deeply infatuated with her? There are many such people. I wonder if he’s considered the most special among them.”

“Probably.”

“Why?”

“Shang An is an extraordinary genius, and such people are rare.”

Hong Yuye closed the book, sipped her tea, and said, “Heavenly Stele Mountain called for you, didn’t it? As an extraordinary genius yourself, what do you think of the Charm Goddess?”

“Not as good as a single strand of your hair, Senior,” Jiang Hao said.

He could be ready to slay the Charm Goddess at any moment, but he couldn’t harm even a single strand of Hong Yuye’s hair.

Hong Yuye’s hand, which was holding the teacup, paused for a moment, and she looked at him.

“Do you like cleaning walls so much?” she asked.

“Senior, you jest. It’s just that the wall seemed a bit dirty, so I wiped it,” Jiang Hao said with his head lowered.

In front of this woman, he would not go and clean any walls.

Hong Yuye chuckled but didn’t say much.

“I have a question,” Jiang Hao said as he looked at her.

She only gave him a cursory glance. “What is it?”

“What is the Immortal Ascension Platform?” This question had been on Jiang Hao’s mind for a long time.

He didn’t dare ask it during the gathering because it didn’t fit the impression of himself that he wanted to leave behind.

He didn’t dare investigate within the sect either. He feared someone might find him suspicious.

“You, a Golden Core Realm cultivator, want to know about the Immortal Ascension Platform? Isn’t that too early?” Hong Yuye said.

Indeed, it was too early. That’s why Jiang Hao didn’t dare to ask or investigate within the sect.

The onlv Derson he could ask was the woman in front of him.

He had many secrets, and she knew most of them.

“It’s for the gathering. They often mention the Immortal Ascension Platform, and I know nothing about it. In case I expose myself, it might affect my undercover mission,” Jiang Hao said earnestly.

In reality, it wouldn’t come to that, because he could just remain silent.

Hong Yuye looked at him with mockery in her eyes. “Do you know all the cultivation realms?

“Lifeblood Refinement Realm, Foundation Establishment Realm, Golden Core

Realm, Primordial Spirit Realm, Soul Ascension Realm, and Return to Void Realm,” said Jiang Hao. “Beyond that, I don’t know…”

“Hm…” Hong Yuye thought for a moment. “Your Acting Sect Master is at the Immortal Ascension Platform.”

‘Elder Baizhi?!’ Jiang Hao was shocked. ‘Is Shang An that strong?’ “What about our Sect Master?” Jiang Hao asked curiously..
