Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness Chapter 389 – The Immortal Mountain and Sea Shield

Chapter 389: The Immortal Mountain and Sea Shield

EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Mi Qian, dispatched by the Fallen Immortal Clan, was here to search for information about Gu Qing.

Firstly, he wanted to find the person who had made Gu Qing admit defeat. Then, he wanted to see if Gu Qing had left anything behind.

He couldn’t find any clues. Therefore, he could only go ahead with his second plan.

He spent a long time trying to figure out that the people captured by the Heavenly Note Sect would most likely be sent here.

When various attempts had yielded no results, he had no choice but to come here for investigation.

However, coming here wasn’t easy at all. He had tried various methods just to get from the Outer Sect to this place.

His identity and status were not enough and made everything exceptionally difficult.

He couldn’t get any information at all

Fortunately, looking for clues left by Gu Qing didn’t require him to ask other people. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have figured out anything at all.

‘I just don’t know if she was kept here.’

That was worrying. If it turned out that she hadn’t visited the mines, then his efforts were all in vain.

He could only return empty-handed.

But after searching for a while, he finally saw some traces. They were special traces left by the Fallen Immortal Clan.

‘Found it!’

Mi Qian was delighted and followed the traces all the way inside.

After a short while, he arrived in front of a sparsely populated cave. All the traces pointed to the edge.

Sure enough, he saw the Fallen Immortal Clan’s secret language, which merged with the stone’s traces. Ordinary people couldn’t discern a thing. But he could.

Two parts in total.

The first part contained just two words.

“Jiang Hao?” Mi Qian was puzzled. “Isn’t that the Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator from Cliff of Broken Hearts? Why would Gu Qing specifically write his name here?”

“Moreover, it’s in the first line. Could her capture be related to this person? But how is that possible? How could a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator make her give in?”

Gu Qing’s strength was much greater than his. Even if her strength was somehow low, she was still formidable.

Also, she possessed the Sky-Piercing Shuttle.

So, a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator couldn’t harm her.

“Why would she write this person’s name? Could it be that this person has something special about him that’s worth paying attention to?”

Mi Qian could only move on to the second part. Soon, he decoded the second message.

“Bright Moon Sect, Dao Conference, Foundation Establishment.”

“What does this mean?” Mi Qian was completely baffled.

After examining it closely and confirming there was nothing else, he wiped away the traces.

“The mission is complete, but this Jiang Hao is quite unusual. Should I make contact to find out?”

After thinking for a while, Mi Qian decided against it.

If he wasn’t someone special, making contact would be meaningless. If he was someone special, contacting him might mean that he would end up the same as Gu Qing.

Gu Qing might have written his name here for two reasons: either hope or revenge.

Was there still hope for someone captured by the Bright Moon Sect? Her aim was most likely revenge.

It wasn’t a good idea to make contact.

‘I will find a way to head back and let the seniors decide.’

In the courtyard, Jiang Hao looked at his interface.

[Name: Jiang Hao]

[Age: 28]

[Cultivation: Peak Stage of Primordial Spirit Realm]

[Cultivation Method: Heavenly Sound Hundred Revolutions, Hong Meng Heart Sutra]

[Divine Ability: Nine Revolutions Death Substitution (unique), Daily Appraisal, Clear and Pure Heart, Reappearance of Hidden Spirit, Divine Might, Revival of Withered Tree, Heavenly Cauldron] [Lifeblood: 67/100 (Can be cultivated)] [Cultivation: 65/100 (Can be cultivated)] [Divine Ability: 0/3 (Cannot be acquired)]

[Golden Legend: 2/2 (Can be acquired)]

It was mid-January. He was already twenty-eight years old.

Time had passed too quickly.

However, he should be able to reach the Soul Ascension Realm this year.

‘I wonder if Junior Brother Han will be able to reach the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm this year. It seems unlikely.’

Back then, both were in the early stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm. It was around eight or nine years ago.

Junior Brother Han had been only eighteen that year.

Jiang Hao’s main focus was on the last thing: the Golden Legend was full.

Without hesitation, he chose to acquire it.

In an instant, he felt changes around him.

The sun and moon hung high in the sky, and the mountains and rivers melded together.

At the center, there was a light. Its radiance encompassed the entire world.

Jiang Hao knew that this light was the treasure of this time.

He began to move in that direction.

After a short while, he saw a shield in the boundless sea.

The shield was about half a person tall, and it depicted mountains, rivers, the sun, and the moon on its surface.

‘It’s a shield.’

The shield didn’t seem to have much use.

Jiang Hao approached the shield and gently picked it up.

In an instant, everything around him disappeared.

He found himself still in the courtyard, but he now held a heavy shield.

The shield appeared ancient. It was unclear what material it was made of. However, it definitely wasn’t ordinary.

He appraised it.

[Immortal Mountain and Sea Shield: Condensed from the grand momentum of mountains and seas and tempered under the sun and moon. It was born amidst destruction. It can repair itself when shattered and possesses a suppressive force.]

Jiang Hao was surprised.

A shield that focused not on defense, but on offense.

However, just the name of the shield sounded powerful. Besides, it was born amidst destruction and could repair itself when shattered. It seemed that the shield could revert to its original state.

‘I wonder what its defense is like.’

Jiang Hao couldn’t test it, as the effect of the shield would vary from person to person.

At present, he was using the shield to its full extent, but he didn’t know what level of attack it could withstand.

But before confirming that, he needed to refine it first.

In the evening, the shield was successfully refined.

As he incorporated it into his body, he felt a sense of weightiness enveloping him. Even his strength and defense seemed to instantly increase.

Jiang Hao tested it with his Half-Moon Blade. It felt different.

He went to the riverside and swung his saber. He used the Demonic Sound Slash Technique. Boom!

The technique cleaved out a massive trench.

It was still within the Foundation Establishment Realm, yet completely different.

‘It feels like it contains the entire mountain and sea. Even my sword technique has become much more profound. This shield is incredible!’

Jiang Hao had thought this shield could only be used for defense, but he hadn’t expected this.

It was truly mind-boggling.

Furthermore, the sense of suppression was also embedded in each of his moves.

He really liked this shield.

However, its aura was somewhat conspicuous and required him to stabilize it and gradually conceal it.

That way, it wouldn’t stand out too much.

Fortunately, he had the nameless manual. It shouldn’t be difficult.

The challenge was whether he could conceal it from Hong Yuye’s eyes.

If he could, that would be good.

He needed to keep some aces up his sleeve.

Back in the courtyard, Jiang Hao recalled something.

He now had the Immortal Mountain and Sea Shield and the Heavenly Blade.

‘Between the two, which is stronger?’

Although he was curious, he couldn’t test them.

After that, he devoted his attention to learning the language of the Heavenly Spirit Tribe. He hoped to understand the conversation between those two people back in the Corpse Realm.

Three days later, Jiang Hao noticed that the stone tablet was vibrating. It was a call for another gathering!

It was at midnight.

‘I wonder if there will be any new developments.’

With Gu Qing taken away by the Bright Moon Sect and Mi Lingyue gone, perhaps it was worth seeing their reactions.

Both those individuals knew him, so he had to speculate what impact the news would have.

It shouldn’t cause too much trouble.

He could rest assured about Mi Lingyue, but Gu Qing was harder to predict.

She surely had a plan for revenge.

Fortunately, he had obtained the Immortal Mountain and Sea Shield.

The collaboration with Xuanyuan Tai had proven very profitable..
