Chapter 714   - 714: The Best Way to be Safe Is To Advance Further

Jiang Hao stopped moving.

Although he still held the compass in his hand, it didn’t emit any noticeable aura. He decided to pay close attention to it.

‘It must be the people that Senior Sister Leng is looking tor. I just don’t know why they suddenly took action. Did they discover something or realize they have no way out?’

If it was the former, that would still be manageable. If it was the latter, they would resort to desperate measures.

It was most likely the latter, based on the sudden disappearance of surveillance.

‘It doesn’t matter if Senior Sister Leng doesn’t find them, because they will try to find her. I’ll just stay here and watch.’

However, his insufficient cultivation realm made him somewhat uneasy.

Senior Sister Leng was in the late stage of the Return to Void Realm, and the people she was looking for should also be in the same realm because of the suppression effect.

‘Late stage of the Return to Void Realm…’ Jiang Hao looked at his interface.

[Name: Jiang Hao]

[Age: 34]

[Cultivation: Middle Stage of the Return to Void 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, Indestructible Vajra]

[Lifeblood: 100/100 (Can be cultivated)] [Cultivation: 98/100 (Can be cultivated)] [Divine Abilities: 1/3 (Cannot be obtained)] [Golden Legend: 1/2 (Cannot be obtained)] freewebnovel.c om

‘Just two blue bubbles away…’

He was so close. He wondered how he could find two bubbles to bridge the gap and advance.

Without any ores, herbs, or spirit beasts here, how could he find bubbles?The initial posting of this chapter occurred via N0v3l.B1(j)n.

Should he rely on luck?

That was unlikely. Even if he found one bubble because of luck, he would still need another.

Jiang Hao looked up at the sky.

‘Even though there are no ores or herbs, there are treasures here. But I wonder if this treasure has been cleaned in a long while.’

He also had to consider whether he would be discovered. He would be in deep trouble if that happened.

It was a risky move.

After some hesitation, Jiang Hao took out the Thousand Faces Treasure Fan.

He transformed into a scholarly-looking young man.

Purple energy enveloped him at this moment. He used the Breath Concealment Talisman and the Heavenly Secrets Hidden Talisman.

Once he was done doing that, Jiang Hao placed the compass in a concealed location.

If the person he wanted to find passed by, it would be easier to locate them at this spot.

Then, it would depend on whether Senior Sister Leng could arrive in time.

He believed that she would agree with his thoughts.

After that, Jiang Hao disappeared from his original spot.

He headed for the sky.

It was now close to midnight, and his divine ability would be available soon.

If everything worked out, he could appraise the treasure.

With the concealment talismans that he had used, there should be no one in the area who could see through him.

Upon reaching high up, Jiang Hao slowed further down.

He still didn’t sense any magical treasure, nor did he feel like he was being spied upon.

When he looked down from that vantage, he saw a fist-sized iron ball.

It had spiritual energy fluctuations on it.

On top of the iron ball, there was a leaf that seemed to conceal its power.

Jiang Hao waited till it was after midnight for his ability to regenerate. He then used it.

[Heavenly Essence True Eye: A complementary treasure to the Heavenly Essence Soul Modeling Mirror. It can see through disguises and peer into the secrets of the heavens. In a non-activated state, it can sense changes in spiritual energy and general movement in the surroundings. Currently, it’s covered by a leaf that deceives the eye and cannot sense the surroundings. It can still detect something if spiritual energy touches it.]

‘Heavenly Essence True Eye?’

If it was related to the Heavenly Essence Soul Modeling Mirror, then it wasn’t a fake.

Jiang Hao was surprised, but he felt that this was a good thing.

If it were a fake, it would be hard to obtain a blue bubble.

Furthermore, the fact that it was in a non -activated state provided him with an opportunity.

‘I wonder if it has ever been cleaned.’

Jiang Hao walked over and touched it with his hand. There was no dust covering it. However, it felt like it hadn’t been touched in many years.

‘I’ll give it a try.’

Because he had suppressed his spiritual energy, he wouldn’t be detected when touching it.

He took out a cloth that had been used to wipe the Heavenly Blade and Xuanyuan Sword and began to wipe the Heavenly Essence Eye gently. He was careful not to accidentally touch the leaf.

Otherwise, he would be detected in an instant. After wiping it halfway, a bubble popped up.

[Cultivation +1] magic

‘There’s one…

Jiang Hao continued to wipe. Soon, another bubble fell from it. [Strength +1]

‘It’s just a white one. What a pity!’

Jiang Hao continued wiping the treasure.

Soon, he was almost done, but no extra bubbles popped up. Jiang Hao was a little worried. What if no more bubbles appeared? The moment he finished wiping, another blue bubble spawned.

[Cultivation +1]

Jiang Hao breathed a sigh of relief.

Without hesitation, he packed up his belongings and returned to the underground tunnels.

He took out his Heavenly Blade and dug a hole in a spot. Then, he hid inside.

He also took out the Immortal Mountain Sea Shield and placed it around him.

This was to prevent anyone from approaching and to guard against sudden attacks.

There were no strong individuals in this place who had surpassed the Return to

Void Realm. It would take a long time for an attacker to break through the defenses of the Immortal Mountain Sea Shield.

Jiang Hao extracted all of his cultivation and lifeblood.

His body was filled with immense spiritual energy and lifeblood, and the Hong

Meng Sutra began to circulate.

Leng Wushuang stood in the mist and sensed everything around her.

‘It’s been so long. I’m starting to get anxious.’ She glared at the sky.

“Do you think it’s that easy to kill me? In my cultivation realm, even if you were once immortal, you’ll be defeated!”

She suddenly sensed something that surprised her.

‘Is this a deliberate attempt to lure me over? Whose compass is this?’

She used her perception and found out that it was Jiang Hao’s compass.

‘He doesn’t seem like someone stupid. With so many achievements, he definitely knows how to protect himself. Is that why he threw away the compass?’ Leng Wushuang wondered.

She didn’t care.

Sometimes, leaving something behind could have a better effect than carrying it around.

Moreover, she had also placed these things elsewhere.

The five people were just a part of the puzzle.

How could she place all her hopes on these five people?

Without thinking further, she took a step in the direction of the compass.

‘Did he set up a trap to lure me there?’

Leng Wushuang smiled and quickly disappeared from her original spot.

On the other side of the tunnel, Nangong Huo looked at the compass. “She really doesn’t take us seriously. She’s coming over so confidently without any regard for the traps we’ve set up here.”

“She’s the top disciple. Of course, she is confident. Perhaps a little overconfident…” Yin Wei frowned. “I have to go find Jiang Hao. If he’s here, it won’t take long for me to find him.”

“You better hurry. I’m not sure about the situation here,” said Nangong Huo seriously.

Leng Wushuang’s confidence made him uneasy. He didn’t want to underestimate her.

The traps still needed to be set up. Winning safely was the best course of action for now..
