Attacked by the Female Demon at the Beginning-Chapter 334 - The Undercover Agent of End of All Things
Chapter 334: The Undercover Agent of End of All Things
Jiang Hao was puzzled by the changes in the courtyard.
At first glance, the changes weren’t significant.
The Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower now had six leaves, and that was it.
The lotus flowers showed no change.
The peach tree was still taller than the surrounding wall, but it had no fruit, probably eaten.
The bamboo was even greener.
Besides these, there was nothing else in the courtyard.
He also checked the array and found no issues.
“How did the spiritual energy become so rich?”
He knew there was a spirit gathering array here, and he knew that spiritual medicines and the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower could generate spiritual energy.
But this was much richer than before.
It was like a thin mist suddenly becoming so thick that you couldn’t see your hand in front of your face.
Puzzled, Jiang Hao entered the house.
Regardless, he needed to check everything else.
The Sub-ring of Heaven and Earth was still there, the bathing room had no issues, and the cultivation area had no extra traces.
After checking inside and out, Jiang Hao found only one issue.
That was the much richer spiritual energy.
It seemed like a good thing, but he would have to observe further.
Sitting in the courtyard, Jiang Hao began to communicate with the sub-ring in the Corpse Realm.
Without surprise, he connected.
But he wasn’t sure if he could go there, nor what would happen if he did.
After hesitating, he decided to first visit the Lawless Tower and ask Zhuang Yuzhen.
But he needed to greet his master first to inform him of his return.
When he went there, he found that Senior Brother Mu Qi had just arrived as well.
There was also Senior Sister Ning Xuan and an unknown man.
He had a look of vicissitudes and gave off a solitary vibe.
Upon seeing him, Mu Qi and Ning Xuan immediately performed a greeting.
“Senior Brother Dongfang.”
Jiang Hao followed suit with the greeting.
This must be Senior Brother Dongfang Ji, who was going to enter the Corpse Realm with them, with indeed a terrifying cultivation level.
However, since he was an inner disciple at the Foundation Establishment stage, his status was somewhat lower compared to them, so it was better not to draw attention.
Dongfang Ji nodded to them, and then the four of them entered Ku Wuchang’s courtyard together.
Jiang Hao followed at the end, feeling something strange about Dongfang Ji as if there were faint traces of green light.
This green light was the aura of the Earthly Extreme Heart-Devouring Bead.
“Although it’s about to disappear, it’s definitely there. Why does Senior Brother Dongfang have the aura of the Earthly Extreme Heart-Devouring Bead around him?”
Puzzled, Jiang Hao used his divine ability.
【Dongfang Ji: A true disciple of Tianyin Sect, mid-stage Spirit Refining cultivation, an undercover agent for End of All Things, has handed over the Earthly Extreme Heart-Devouring Bead and is now qualified to go overseas and become an internal member of End of All Things, and he has some interest in you.】
An undercover agent?
After reading the divine ability feedback, Jiang Hao was somewhat astonished; Senior Brother Dongfang turned out to be the one who obtained the Earthly Extreme Heart-Devouring Bead, and he was also Tianyin Sect’s undercover agent in End of All Things.
Thinking back to Xue Yue, he suddenly felt that it was End of All Things who had taken the initiative to approach.
After all, Senior Brother Dongfang also had a tragic past.
What Jiang Hao didn’t expect was that not only was Senior Brother Dongfang not persuaded by them, but he also went undercover instead.
‘Why is he interested in me?’
After pondering for a moment, Jiang Hao felt it was because of the mining.
At that time, End of All Things also had their eye on the mine, and in the end, Taoist Shang’an erupted, several people from End of All Things died, and the Earthly Extreme Heart-Devouring Bead was destroyed.
And he happened to be somewhat acquainted with Taoist Shang’an and the others.
Hence their interest in him.
Having figured this out, Jiang Hao felt much more at ease.
However, there was one very important matter to deal with, and that was to have the rabbit retrieve the secret message.
Otherwise, once he reaches the mid-stage of Spirit Refining, let alone rabbits, he would be of no use either.
After seeing his master, Jiang Hao left.
The others were kept behind.
He didn’t know what they wanted to ask.
Taking advantage of the free time, he went straight to the Lawless Tower.
He made his way to the fifth floor.
A whole year had passed, and not only had the number of people here not decreased, but there was also one more.
Judging by the figure, it should be a woman.
Now her hair was disheveled, and her cultivation was only at the early stage of Nascent Soul.
If she fell any further, she would have to leave the fifth floor.
In contrast, Zhuang Yuzhen and the Heavenly Sea King Hai Luo were both at the early and late stages of Nascent Soul, respectively, unchanged for a whole year.
These two were also looking down, seemingly conserving their energy.
Thump, thump-
Jiang Hao knocked on the door twice.
Zhuang Yuzhen struggled to lift his head, but when he saw Jiang Hao, he perked up quite a bit:
“It seems you’ve gained a lot.”
From the late stage of Foundation Establishment to the peak, the gains were indeed significant.
“Finally, someone who can talk. Those people are too rubbish, they can’t touch my heart at all. They think they can make me talk more like this? What a joke,” the Heavenly Sea King Hai Luo bellowed, seemingly addressing the guards outside.
“You little bastard, you’re only spirited because you sold out your companions,” Zhuang Yuzhen said disdainfully.
“Otherwise, you would have been thrown down to the lower level long ago.”
“You’re not convinced?” the Heavenly Sea King Hai Luo taunted.
“With just your early stage of Nascent Soul? I could beat you with one hand tied behind my back.”
Jiang Hao felt these people had too much free time.
“Actually, I came to ask some questions about the Corpse Realm.”
“Ask away.”
Zhuang Yuzhen was also curious about what Jiang Hao had encountered inside.
After pondering for a moment, Jiang Hao slowly began:
“Is there a place in the Corpse Realm that connects to other spaces?”
“Yes,” Zhuang Yuzhen nodded seriously.
“But such places are extremely rare, and even if one stumbles into them, it’s unlikely for people from both sides to come into conflict, as they seem to be together but are actually just illusions. However, some special demonic beasts are different; they can traverse these spaces, but there are significant restrictions, and it’s rare for them to appear in the Corpse Realm. So as long as you leave before the passage closes, there shouldn’t be a big problem. If you don’t leave, it’s unknown because I’ve never heard of anyone disappearing and then reappearing.”
I see, Jiang Hao nodded.
However, the feeling he had before was so distinct that he was somewhat skeptical about it being just an illusion.
For safety’s sake, he didn’t dare to observe them rashly.
This also meant he couldn’t confirm the situation.
But after mining for so long, he indeed hadn’t seen any demonic beasts come out.
“Anything else?” Zhuang Yuzhen asked.
This wasn’t a particularly rare occurrence, so he didn’t even ask for details.
“Is there talk of a peerless genius in the Corpse Realm?” Jiang Hao asked.
Upon hearing this, Zhuang Yuzhen became excited: “Has a peerless genius appeared?”
“It seems so,” Jiang Hao nodded.
“What exactly happened?” Zhuang Yuzhen asked eagerly.
“Is a peerless genius that exaggerated?” Jiang Hao was somewhat puzzled.
“Extremely,” Zhuang Yuzhen said seriously.
“Since our sect opened up the Corpse Realm, in countless years, there was only one peerless genius who appeared two hundred years ago. That was when the term ‘peerless genius’ started being used.”
At this point, Zhuang Yuzhen seemed a bit puzzled:
“Weren’t you in the Blood Tide Forest? How did you know about the peerless genius?”
“Because that peerless genius is suspected to be in the Blood Tide Forest, and Tianbei Mountain has personally come over. It’s said that after appearing in other areas for about ten days, they were transported to the Blood Tide Forest,” Jiang Hao replied.
“That’s impossible,” Zhuang Yuzhen found it hard to believe.
How could such a thing be possible?
“But that’s the fact. What’s different about a peerless genius?” Jiang Hao had never understood.
“The difference lies in the highest stone tablet; others need to climb up on their own, but a peerless genius can directly reach the top. And that’s just the beginning,” Zhuang Yuzhen said with a low gaze and some emotion:
“After reaching the top, there are two possibilities.”
