Heaven Refining physique-Chapter 137: Comprehension Talent

Ming Yue’s eyes lit up , she knew what he was implying, and she nodded immediately.

She looked towards Yu Yan and Jing Tian. From their sect robes, she knew that they belonged to the Starlight Zenith Order.

"Only two? Or have you guys still not met your sect mates?"

Yu Yan looked towards the safe zone. She didn’t see anyone from their sect in this city. They had seen three cultivators in the previous city, but Jing Tian had gestured for them to not come out. He wanted to follow Jiang Hao, and given Jiang Hao’s nature, having more of them would be a problem.

They were twenty when they entered. Only the top twenty geniuses were allowed to come on this expedition from their sect.

So not meeting them in every city was a given conclusion.

"We did see someone from our sect in the previous city, but..."

She wanted to say that her foolish senior brother was on a mission to get them killed, so it was better for everyone ,if they died alone and did not drag anyone else along.

When Ming Yue saw her stop at "but," she understood what she was going to say.

The reason she spoke with them was also because she knew that Jiang Hao wouldn’t even talk to them unless it was necessary.

It’s not just talking but also ignoring someone like they didn’t even exist, Jiang Hao could do that with ease, but she couldn’t.

"Very well, want to join us for the time being? Let me warn you though, the consequences can be dire. You already know our enemies. If they associate you two with us, then it will become a problem for your sect too. After all, those people are masters at twisting facts."

"Ah... that we know. But senior, you don’t have to worry about it. We can just say that Senior Jiang forced us to follow him for menial tasks. They’ll have no choice but to believe it, as almost seventy cultivators were killed trying to... cough... you know—"

"Just shut up."

Yu Yan stopped Jing Tian from embarrassing themselves further.

"It will be okay... se-senior."

She didn’t want to say ’senior,’ but since Jing Tian had already set the standard, she couldn’t discard it casually. It would damage his image even more.

Although she didn’t want to call Jiang Hao and Ming Yue seniors, given they were at the same level in cultivation realm as them,their strength demanded that respect, so it wasn’t totally hard for her to accept that fact.

"You don’t have to call us seniors. No one is forcing you to do that. Anyway, let’s go."

Ming Yue understood why they were calling them senior. Junior Jiang Hao must have scared them somehow before. She shook her head internally and took out a minor teleportation talisman from the storage bag she had just obtained and used it.

They entered and continued teleporting.

...

In one of the cities on the third level, almost at the middle of the third level safe zones, cultivators from the Azure Sky Sect, Ethereal Cloud Sanctuary, and Golden Lotus Temple were gathering. This city had become a meeting spot for these three sects to discuss their next plan.

This time, the real leaders of all three sects were present. They were the strongest cultivators in battle ranking within their respective sects.

They were waiting for everyone from their sects to gather here first. Many of their cultivators didn’t even know what had happened this morning, they were just called here to be briefed on everything that had occurred till now.

This city was empty, as no other cultivators had made it this far. They weren’t planning to stop others from entering, as they intended to use other cultivators too in their plan this time.

Ya Ting, the leader of the Azure Sky Sect, looked towards the leader of Ethereal Cloud Sanctuary, Zhe Han, and the leader of the Golden Lotus Temple, Yan Chen, and said,

"What do you think we should do? They’re far stronger than we imagined. Let’s be honest here, even if the three of us were present, the result would have been the same in both cities."

She was very serious while saying this. Her expression was grim.

Yan Chen sighed. Truthfully speaking, he couldn’t think of any way to stop those two. They had heard that Jiang Hao had already gotten information about Ming Yue’s location and was heading towards her. By now, they might have already met.

It was already quite impossible to kill one of them. Would they have a chance to kill both of them together? Not at all, at least not with their current strategy of intercepting them by spreading forces in each city.

"The only way I can think of is to go to the main city and wait for them to come. There, surely with all of us combined, the chances of our success would be far higher."

Yan Chen said. In fact, he even thought it was the only option, and the chances of success seemed much higher.

Zhe Han nodded. This seemed to be the only available option, but they had to decide something else. He asked,

"What do you two think? Should we go to the main city directly and prepare some traps, or wait and gather even more cultivators on our side? Both options look lucrative, but they have their own disadvantages too.

If we wait for too long, then they might reach the main city before us and we might not be able to trap them. But if we leave early, we won’t be able to gather more cultivators on our side.

So what do you think we should do?"

"How are you so certain that they won’t go to the main city directly right now? That Jiang Hao can teleport. Not to mention, they must have many talismans by now. If they’ve decided to go to the main city, they might already be reaching there."

Ya Ting asked Zhe Han.

"I doubt that. In the first city, Jiang Hao claimed an inheritance, an inheritance that had never been claimed before. So they would definitely search other cities for more inheritances. After all, with their talent, it would be as simple as picking up unowned treasure."

Ya Ting mulled over it. It sounded valid, but in the end, it was just an assumption. freēwēbηovel.c૦m

"We shouldn’t bet everything on assumptions," she said, shaking her head.

"I think it will be better if we gather some more cultivators. We already tried our best trap on them, and it didn’t work anyway, so having more cultivators who can act as shields for us sounds like a better option."

Yan Chen also put his thoughts forward.

Ya Ting nodded and agreed too. It seemed like the only option left to them anyway.

"So, shall we tell everyone about what has happened till now?"

There were many of their disciples who didn’t know why they were called like this. Certainly, many of them might have already gotten the news from others who knew everything, but it was better as leaders to confirm everything.

"Fine. Let’s meet again tomorrow."

They had divided the city into three parts for each other, so that no friendly conflicts would occur.

.....

Jiang Hao and the others had teleported quite far, they had already crossed the sixth level. The distance between cities increased with each level, so now they had to use almost three minor teleportations to cross a single level.

The resources here were tremendous, as no one had made it this far. The moment they appeared anywhere, they could see many herbs in grade three and four of all stages nearby.

They just took whatever they could and left again. This continued for a long time before they reached the fifteenth level.

At this level, they could see one city to the left and one to the right of the city they were currently in, making a total of three cities present at this level. The distance between them didn’t seem far.

They could see the light pillar of the main city, it was quite thick, hard to miss. Even though it was estimated to be quite far, so far that it might take ten minor teleportations to reach it.

That was truly a long distance. Ten minor teleportations were enough to cross the Dark Forest.

There was a big mountain in the exact center of the whole inheritance site. It wasn’t visible from here, but if they flew high enough in the air, they might be able to see it.

Jing Tian looked towards the city. They had stopped here because the chances of an unclaimed inheritance being present were very high. They hadn’t seen other cities, but not every city would have unclaimed inheritances. The chances of finding them were very low, they had to go to every city if they truly wanted to find some.

He looked towards Jiang Hao, who was about to enter the city. He wondered what kind of physique he had. This was one question he couldn’t ask anyone, much less someone like Jiang Hao.

His own physique was just a common one, yet he was still the top genius of his sect. Even though it was a proven fact that his comprehension talent was good, it wasn’t even at the top within his own sect, he ranked seventh. His junior sister was ranked first in comprehension ability.

He was curious about how good Jiang Hao and Ming Yue truly were in comprehending, because comprehension ability was measured similarly to physique.

He didn’t understand much about why it is good to have high comprehension talent, but his master was hell-bent on that point, so he simply accepted it.
