Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

Chapter 1327: I’ll Wait for You Here

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Holy Lord’s gaze flickered between Jiang Hao and Hong Yuye before finally settling on Jiang Hao.

“What’s your cultivation realm now?”

“What do you think, dear brother?”

“Middle stage of the True Immortal Realm?”

Jiang Hao smiled but did not say anything.

His aura was now so well-concealed that few could discern his true cultivation realm.

It was not that he was perfect at hiding it, but rather, Hong Yuye’s presence beside him made others perceive him as nothing more than a Golden Core or Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator.

The Holy Master, despite being a powerful Immortal Human, found it difficult to see through Jiang Hao without direct contact or having his main body present.

With Hong Yuye by Jiang Hao’s side, even the Holy Master’s main body would struggle to see through the concealment.

Ancient beings were not simple. The more one interacted with them, the more secrets were likely to be lost, especially when facing their true forms.

For example, with Gu Jin, his cultivation realm and age were no secrets.

The only way to keep them unknown was to maintain some distance from him.

“Are you confident you can do it?” the Holy Master asked.

“I am weak and naturally bullied. I can only seek a semblance of justice. Do you intend to help me, Brother Li?” Jiang Hao asked with a smile.

“Your matters are none of my concern,” said the Holy Master.

“I was gravely injured, and healing has cost me greatly.” Jiang Hao sighed and lowered his head.

The Holy Master frowned.

“Can you understand my pain, Brother Li?” Jiang Hao looked up at him earnestly.

‘I neither understand nor do I want to.’ The Holy Master thought in frustration.

“This is what you wanted. That’s it.” He tossed the fragment at Jiang Hao.

Taking the fragment, Jiang Hao gently caressed it.

He felt a little nostalgic.

It was a fragment of the Immortal Mountain Sea Shield.

The moment he grasped it, he could sense its presence.

With a bit of effort, he could summon the shield’s fragments from various places, provided they were not sealed by strong powers, and the Immortal Mountain Sea Shield would be restored.

“Brother Li, you’re always kind to me,” said Jiang Hao with a smile. “Lately, I—”

“No,” said the Holy Master firmly.

Jiang Hao continued, “I was ambushed and severely injured. Every time I think of it, my spirit falters.”

“Whenever you are about to die, you look for me. If you’re seriously injured, you look for me again. This is just too much!” said the Holy Master.

Jiang Hao looked at him and sighed heavily. “But Brother Li…”

Before he could finish his sentence, a divine soul landed in front of Jiang Hao. “No more. Don’t push me.”

Putting away the divine soul, Jiang Hao sighed with emotion. “I knew that you were a good brother. Everyone says you’re not, but I know it’s all a facade. Brother Li, you’re capable of ruling heaven and earth alone. You’re completely different from those who follow the demonic path.”

The Holy Master was speechless. Then, he said, “It’s the first time I’ve heard someone humiliate me in such flattering terms.”

“I’m leaving,” Jiang Hao said with a smile.

“Are you really going to challenge the Five Demons?” the Holy Lord asked. He was curious.

“What else?” Jiang Hao replied.

“Can you defeat them?” the Holy Master asked.

“Do you think the Human Emperor could have?” Jiang Hao asked in return.

“I don’t know your cultivation realm,” said the Hole Master. “But even a Human Emperor who has been immortal for just five years can’t do it.”

“Then let me make history for you.” Jiang Hao turned around and strode forward. “There is indeed no Human Emperor in this era, but there will be an unparalleled Smiling San Sheng. This era will be bright because of him.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Hao merged into the light and disappeared.

He was as bright as the sun.

He had reached a level where he could blend into the surroundings like an ordinary person, or like a speck of dust. He was unseen and undetectable.

The Holy Master watched as the person left.

“In five years, he has transcended from the Immortal Human Realm to the True Immortal Realm and is on his way to battle someone at the peak of the True Immortal Realm…”

No matter how the Holy Master thought about it, he felt that it was impossible.

A normal person would still be tempering their immortal body after five years of becoming an immortal.

He would be able to become a True Immortal in fifty years, let alone five.

Comprehending the Dao and advancing to the middle stage of the True Immortal Realm was almost impossible.

The gap between the middle stage of the True Immortal Realm and the peak of the True Immortal Realm was not just about the gap in cultivation realms, there was also a difference in the Dao.

With the difference in strength, it was even more difficult to cross.

Even if his comprehension of the Dao far exceeded that of his peers, there were still two steps between the middle stage and the peak of the True Immortal Realm.

In addition, there were late-stage True Immortals along with the one at the peak of the True Immortal Realm.

Five years were not enough to bridge the gap between the middle stage and the peak of the True Immortal Realm.

No matter what, it was not enough to fight against the Five Demons.

Time was of the essence. The path to the Dao needed to be paved properly. Only then, everything else would follow.

The Dao Heart and one’s state of mind was the most important.

How far he could go in the future and how strong he could be depended on this.

However, that would take far longer than five years.

After hesitating for a while, the Holy Master returned to the island.

The Holy Master’s divine soul that was close to the Five Demons opened its eyes and headed toward the island to watch.

It headed toward the island where the Five Demons were.

It wanted to witness the “unparalleled Smiling San Sheng.”

…

At Five Peaks Island, there were many people gathered.

The one who called himself The End of All Things also watched from the shadows. He felt a little sentimental. “The Great Era is almost here, and he approaches so openly.”

“Is there any chance of victory? Can he be on the great Dao path within five years?” asked the puzzled attendant.

“This already exceeds my expectations. The world is full of endless possibilities, and we are but a small part of it. To achieve the ultimate end, we cannot rely solely on ourselves. We must learn to leverage others. It’s not about suppressing their growth. It’s quite the opposite… we need their growth and their exploration of endless possibilities. From their potential, we find the possibility of the ultimate end. All powerful beings can be our teachers on this path,” said the one who called himself The End of All Things. He smiled. “Therefore, I hope Smiling San Sheng comes alone and wins against the Five Demons. His future will undoubtedly shine brilliantly. If anyone tries to hinder him, we must intervene. We must protect him.”

“Understood,” said the attendant seriously.

Although he could not truly understand, he completely trusted the person beside him.

Meanwhile, the Red Dragon also approached Five Peaks Island, followed by Zhu Shen and Tang Ya.

Mr. Tao had sent them to observe the situation.

“Senior, do you think Smiling San Sheng stands a chance?” Zhu Shen asked.

“No,” Chi Tian said.

They sat on the deck of a ship and drank tea as they waited for the battle to commence.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

“Then, why would Smiling San Sheng come?” Tang Ya asked.

“Because he knows his younger brother will help him. He feels invincible,” said Chi Tian.

Chi Tian became even more excited. He could see the spirit stones almost in his grasp.

His elder brother was poor, but his sister-in-law was rich.

Chi Tian smiled without saying a word.

Shangguan Qingsu had already arrived at the island using a magic treasure.

The Shangguan Clan had not come. Their cultivation realms were insufficient and made the journey difficult. They could not make it.

From the shadows, the Twelve Heavenly Kings were also paying attention to this place.

The Great Thousand God Sect and The End of All Things also watched.

Many factions were the same.

There were even stronger beings above immortals who were observing the scene.

They all wanted to see how Smiling San Sheng would fare.

If the opportunity arose, they might intervene.

This was precisely what the Five Demons wanted.

If Smiling San Sheng died, they would surely gain benefits.

“How lively!” Jiang Hao said as he appeared on a faraway island.

Hong Yuye stood beside him.

“I’ll wait for you here,” said Hong Yuye softly.

She did not move forward.

This was enough for him.

She could see him clearly and reach him quickly if necessary.
