Jiang Hao’s days passed uneventfully.

He watered the flower in the morning and tended to the spirit herbs in the afternoon.

He then set up a stall at the marketplace and returned in the evening to craft talismans.

At present, there wasn’t much else for him to do.

Only the matter of the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl hung over his head like a blade.

Everything else could be postponed, even the matters with the Heavenly Joy

Pavilion, Feng Hua, and The End of All Things.

All could be discussed later.

When he returned, Jiang Hao glanced at the belt hanging at his waist.

It had completely fused with the other sets, and he could now assess its effectiveness.

He had the battle armor, wrist guards, boots, a ring, and now the belt. It made up a set of five items for the Nine Heavens Battle Armor.

Together, they possessed formidable power.

However, most of them were for defense.

He appraised them.

[Belt of the Nine Heavens Battle Armor: The abilities of the five battle armors have been increased to the Return to Void Realm in all aspects. It can release a defensive circle to completely defend against surrounding attacks. Spells, poisons, and curses cannot break through.]

“It’s actually a defensive circle.”

Jiang Hao was somewhat surprised.

Moreover, it was a defensive circle that could protect against various attacks.

Until now, he had defended only against direct attacks.

Poison and curses could only be resisted by his body or spiritual essence.

Now, with the belt, it would be difficult for attacks at the Return to Void Realm to penetrate.

“Five pieces. I wonder how many pieces there are in total.”

Jiang Hao was curious. If he gathered them all, what kind of power would it wield? How would it manifest itself?

Although he was somewhat looking forward to it, he knew it would be challenging to collect them all.

He could only wait patiently.

These past few days, besides his daily routine, there hadn’t been much else.

He had earned some spirit stones.

But he still hadn’t encountered Senior Brother Duan Guan and Senior Sister Leng Tian.

The peace within the sect made him feel comfortable.

If the sect didn’t attack those outside, the people outside would find opportunities and grow.

An unprecedented peace quietly descended on the sect.

Jiang Hao knew that this calmness could easily be shattered by the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl.

Now, he only hoped for more strong individuals in the sect so that he would at least get a chance to escape.

‘Hong Yuye hasn’t visited.’

Jiang Hao looked up at the sky. He felt unusually eager for her arrival.

After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Hao sold a Heaven Rejuvenating Pill in the marketplace for seven thousand spirit stones.

The price had dropped because of the arrival of Shang An. His ascension had given many people an opportunity to advance in their cultivation realm. Various elixirs and talismans were priced down.

Without hesitation, he went to the Snow Lotus Pavilion.

“What do you need, Senior Brother?” asked the woman at the reception.

She knew that Jiang Hao was a decent customer.

“I need to buy some tea leaves.”

The woman smiled. “I can make some decisions on the things that are being sold. Perhaps I can offer you a discount too.”

“Really?” Jiang Hao felt delighted. “How much cheaper can you make the September Spring?

The woman smiled. “I can lower the price a little. Maybe around ten…”

Initially confident in her reply, the woman suddenly paused. She thought she had misheard. “What kind of tea are you looking for, Senior Brother?”

“September Spring,” Jiang Hao said.

Her face soured, but she quickly composed herself.

Stepping back, she respectfully said, “Senior Brother, please follow me.”

Jiang Hao didn’t mind the change in her demeanor. He just wanted to know if there would be a discount.

Hong Yuye had asked for it, so he couldn’t be negligent as per their last agreement. Otherwise, it might cause problems.

After a while, Jiang Hao left the Snow Lotus Pavilion.

He had spent 19,500 spirit stones on the tea. He was even more far away from catching up on the amount of spirit stones to awaken the beast’s bloodline. Only thirty-eight thousand spirit stones at hand made him feel helpless.

How long would it take to earn twenty thousand more?

Letting out a heavy sigh, Jiang Hao headed back to his house.

Some matters were rather urgent and needed more thought.

He believed that Hong Yuye could deal with the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl.

Time slowly passed. It was early June.

There still hadn’t been any developments at the Lawless Tower.

The people from the Mountain Sea Sword Sect didn’t leave either.

They seemed to be waiting for the Corpse Realm Flowers to bloom.

It was said that the Divine Corpse Sect had sent an invitation, and they would arrive in a few months.

Mu Longyu and Mi Lingyue left too. They seemingly ignored his advice.

Jiang Hao didn’t care about this.

During this time, he read the Ancient and Modern Book.

It was an autobiography.

It described a young man who emerged from the mountains. He was naive and thought only good things about the world.

In the end, he was nearly killed by a wealthy family.

After that, he became more familiar with the world and embarked on the path of growth.

Later, he was scouted by a teacher and joined the Astronomical Academy.

He rose swiftly afterward and was unstoppable in his momentum.

After growing up, he traveled from the west to the east and then to the north.

Over the years, he learned many things at the Bright Moon Sect, the Clear Sky School, and the Mountain Sea Sword Sect.

He defeated all the strong individuals of the same generation and dominated that era.

Finally, he headed to the south.

He froze in the face of the truth and vanished without a trace.

After reading it, Jiang Hao felt that it was the autobiography of an ancient figure.

Moreover, the part where he froze in the face of the truth seemed obviously added later on.

He flipped to the back and discovered a sentence.

“Farewell, I am and yet am not myself.”

Looking at the book, Jiang Hao thought of the imprint on his hand.

‘It feels like I’ve fallen into an Ancient and Modern Trap. I’ll have to be more careful in the future.’

After that, there was nothing much to do. Jiang Hao felt a bit anxious, but he remained calm.

News about the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl was hard to come by, and finding its entrance was even more challenging.

Being weak was indeed troublesome.

If the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl were to erupt, the only gamble would be the Corpse Realm. Once inside, he could avoid this calamity. The question was whether he could safely enter it.

Boom!

In Devil’s Den, Zheng Shijiu and the others had eliminated another batch of demons.

But they were all somewhat exhausted.

“Why are there so many?” Xin Yuyue was astonished.

They had been to Devil’s Den several times, and apart from the previous counterattacks by the demons, such a situation hadn’t occurred before.

There were simply too many.

Groups of demons were coming out from deeper inside.

Compared to the previous counterattacks, it was definitely less severe in strength, but it was significantly more in numbers.

Xiao Li never attacked. It was always the seniors who killed the enemies.

Occasionally, one or two would come running over to her in their injured state. She killed them with a single strike.

“This doesn’t seem ordinary. We should inform the sect,” Zheng Shijiu said.

Yue You’s brow furrowed. This was indeed quite tricky. The demons here were not only numerous but also powerful.

They were currently in the forest, but the forest had no visible boundary, so they didn’t dare venture too deep.

“This is not good,” Duan Yu suddenly said and stood up. “The vigilant array I set up has been triggered. Numerous demons are approaching.”

“This is troublesome.” Zheng Shijiu frowned. “Retreat first and then figure things out.”

No one objected because the demons were too challenging to deal with.

After a while, Duan Yu sighed. “The path we took has changed. Now, we can’t find our way back.”

Roar!

Distant roars echoed. It indicated that numerous demons were about to surround them.

“Set up an array and see if we can manage them for a while,” Zheng Shijiu said as he took a deep breath.

Except for Xiao Li, the others didn’t hesitate..
