THE CULTIVATION OF BESIDE DEVIL CULTIVATOR
286: I'm Just Playing With You
The next day, Jiang Hao returned the Wind Feather to the spirit beast.
He wanted to sell it, but that person only offered seven hundred spirit stones. It would be a loss for him.
He thought that the Breath Concealing Amulet would be useless after it ran out, so he decided not to sell the Wind Feathers.
The spirit creature was excited.
Jiang Hao spent another four hundred spirit stones to purchase the talisman-making materials and made five Breath Concealing Amulets.
He gave three to spirit beasts for future use.
Despite having the ability to deceive others, having this talisman would provide an additional layer of protection.
Wind Feathers could increase his speed to the peak of the Golden Core Realm, and coupled with his special nature, perhaps only someone in the Primordial Spirit Realm could threaten him now.
Half a month later, the sect announced something.
The Corpse Realm Flower would mature in the middle of the month, and a teleportation gate would open that would lead to the Corpse Realm.
Twenty-six disciples would enter the Corpse Realm through the gate.
Two of each of the eleven branches and four of the Broken Heart Cliff.
The name list was also published.
Jiang Hao learned that because of him, one more person could enter the Corpse Realm of the Broken Heart Cliff.
If he entered the Corpse Realm, the Broken Heart Cliff could accommodate one more person. This is a gift.
This is a privilege for him and the whole Heartbroken Cliff.
He barely recognized anyone from the other branches, but he recognized some names from the Broken Heart Cliff.
The people who entered the Corpse Realm from the Cliffs of Broken Hearts were:
Jiang Hao, at the final stage of the Natural Establishment Foundation.
Mu Qi, at the peak of the Golden Core Realm.
Ning Xuan, at the initial stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm.
Dongfang Ji, at the early stage of the Ascension Soul Realm.
Jiang Hao had never met or heard of Dongfang Ji.
Mu Qi told him that he was a strong senior who had once pursued the best disciple position but failed.
Jiang Hao was shocked to learn that the Broken Heart Cliff had such a powerful individual. Many disciples were already in the Soul Ascension Realm in the other branches. The quality of the disciples produced by the Broken Heart Cliff was always inferior to the other branches.
He did not dare to ask Mu Qi why that was so. After all, he was only at the final stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
The Ascension Soul realm was beyond his reach. No need to ask.
The next day, Liu Xingchen visited him. She smiles.
“Congratulations, Young Brother Jiang, for being selected to enter the Corpse Realm.”
“It was just luck,” said Jiang Hao humbly.
He really did not wish to enter the Realm of the Corpses. He has no choice. That was why he had spent the past few months studying formations.
“I heard Senior Brother Dongfang Ji is also coming with all of you?” Liu
Xingchen asked.
Jiang Hao nodded. “Why did you ask?”
“He is not a student of the Broken Cliff at the moment. He was saved by your master because of his extraordinary talent. He was like Bai Ye. He was qualified to fight for the position of the best disciple. It's a pity that he died. Even though he has been saved, he is different from all of you. No one knew what he was thinking right now, so be careful in dealing with it. I heard his colleague died,” Liu Xingchen said.
Jiang Hao looked confused. He did not understand what Liu Xingchen was talking about.
“The Cliff Is Heartbroken At This Time?”
“Do you remember when I told you about the branch that triggered the conflict among various other branches?” Liu Xingchen asked.
Jiang Hao was surprised.
“It looks like you have found the answer. That branch used to be the Broken Heart Cliff. Your current master becomes the branch leader much later on. Back then, the entire Broken Heart Cliff was almost wiped out. Senior Brother Dongfang Ji was also there at the time, but he happened to be on a mission outside. When he returns, he finds that everything has changed. He was also arrested. He is an important and powerful disciple, so some precautions should be taken.” Liu Xingchen sighed.
“After being investigated, it is known that he was not involved in the entire disaster, but indeed a lot of suspicion. At the time, further investigation was not needed. People were thrown into the Lawless Tower on suspicion. Before he was thrown into the Lawless Tower, your master intervened and brought him back to the newly restored Cliff
The wounded heart. After which, he only showed his face once, as he fought against Manlong for the tenth top disciple seat. He suppressed his cultivation for the challenge. He severely injured Manlong, but he was still defeated.”
“Do the disciples have to suppress their cultivation to fight against the best disciples?” Jiang felt that it was a bit unreasonable.
"Not really. At first, they start from the top and continue down. However if the people from above failed the exam, they would look down. The person they find should be stronger, younger, and have more potential than the person already in the position. After that, if someone from a higher position wanted to challenge them, they could suppress his cultivation and accept the challenge. The requirements will be stricter, but the advantages are also obvious,” Liu Xingchen said.
“However, the rules for the best students are quite complicated. For example, right now, if you do not reach the late stages of the Primordial Spirit Realm, you do not have the qualifications to issue a challenge at all. At the very least, you should be at the same stage as the tenth top disciple to issue a challenge. If Manlong had advanced to another realm, Bai Ye would not be qualified to challenge him at all.”
Jiang Hao nodded in realization.
Dongfang Ji was not only different from them, but the Heavenly Note Sect had also killed his fellow cultivation.
Normally, there would not be any danger from the disciples of the same sect, but Dongfang Ji might harbor some grievances and hatred towards them.
Once they entered the Corpse Realm, he could easily kill someone without a second thought.
He was at the early stages of the Soul Ascension Realm.
Even Jiang Hao's true cultivation realm would not match him.
It was true, the Realm of the Corpses was too dangerous, so he had to keep his distance from these people.
However, there were very few others who came to the Foundation Establishment Realm area, so there shouldn't be much danger there.
If he didn't wander around aimlessly, it would be fine.
“Male sister, you will go to the Corpse Realm, and I will go to a
mission too. I don't know when I'll be back,” Liu Xingchen said.
“What kind of mission takes up a lot of your time, Senior Brother?” Jiang Hao asked.
“Investigating overseas strength. It seems another war is about to happen. I heard a lot of people came from abroad, so we need to investigate it thoroughly, ” Liu Xingchen said.
'Outside the country?' Jiang Hao assumed they were here to find the Pearl of Heavenly Fate Crash.
It's good that it's handled. Anyway, the item was in his hands.
They chatted longer before Liu Xingchen said goodbye and left.
After taking care of the spirit herbs, Jiang Hao went to the Lawless Tower. He wanted to know more about the Corpse Realm.
The people from the Divine Corpse Sect also provided some information, but it was just a rough map without any details.
Zhuang Yuzhen might not necessarily be telling the truth, so she had to handle it herself.
However, as soon as he arrived at the Lawless Tower, Hai Luo called out to him.
“Senior, is there something you need?” Jiang Hao asked.
“About the place you mentioned last time.” Hai Luo said in a low voice.
“Senior, rest assured, I just made it up,” said Jiang Hao.
“You're kidding! Do you think I, one of the Heavenly Kings, don't know if you're making it up? Do you think you are a threat to me? I was just playing around with you,” Hai Luo said, then handed a piece of paper to Jiang Hao. “This is the name list. Just keep it."
Jiang Hao was silent.
“This bastard sells his friends so that his cultivation does not decrease!” yelled Zhuang Yuzhen.
“Being arrogant! You're not even my match. The early stages of your Primordial Spirit Realm cannot match my late stage!”
Jiang Hao glanced at Hai Luo and realized that the effect of the Lawless Tower did have a huge impact on him. He even sold his friends! No wonder Liu Xingchen came out of the sect to investigate this matter..
