Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness Chapter 1264: Surround and Kill Smiling San Sheng (1)

Chapter 1264: Surround and Kill Smiling San Sheng (1)

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The news of Jiang Hao’s return to candidacy for the seat of the top disciple did not stir up any waves.

Only a few people who were constantly watching him were aware of it.

Jiang Hao did not advertise it, and the one who was defeated naturally did not spread the news.

No one brought it up. The fact remained unknown.

After that, there was nothing much to do.

He thought of integrating himself into the Heavenly Note Sect like the other immortals.

He wanted to see if he could obtain the opportunity of the Great Era.

However, he discovered that even when he could sense opportunities approaching, he could not accept them. It was as though he was repelled.

Jiang Hao sighed with emotion and did not think much about it.

As expected, he was unable to obtain the Great Era’s opportunity.

Even knowing that, he still felt disappointed.

“However, being in the right state is good, withdrawing from it affects slightly, but even a slight deviation can cause great errors. It is no wonder immortals avoided walking the world in full view. Who would willingly give up opportunities that came their way?”

It was extremely important for them to wait for the opportunity to reach perfection.

Other things could wait.

“It is no wonder people of the Blackheaven Sect did not attack me even when they sensed my presence,” muttered Jiang Hao. “I wonder if Chi Tian has given up or if he has no opportunities…”

Chi Tian had always been outside, and the Dragon Clan had long disappeared. It was possible he had nowhere to stay and obtain the opportunities.

Of course, if he really wanted to, he could join a sect and stay there.

He could even go to the Astronomical Academy since he considered Gu Jin his brother.

But perhaps that was impossible for him because there was nothing like the Jade Cloud Pavilion in the Astronomical Academy.

Chi Tian would willingly give up any opportunity if he could go to the Jade Cloud Pavilion.

Jiang Hao recalled Chi Tian’s personality.

In the future, he thought it would be better to see fewer people like Chi Tian.

Jiang Hao spent a week roughly understanding the opportunity of the Great Era.

He sat in his courtyard, looked at the Immortal Peach Tree, and hesitated.

After the Great Era, if he had enough spirit stones, should he let the peach tree undergo its last nirvana?

While he was thinking, Xiao Li tiptoed in.

When he turned to look at her, she said, “I came to take care of them.” She pointed to the tree.

Jiang Hao did not mind.

He had left the fruits for Xiao Li to eat anyway.

The peaches were extremely sweet. Although they did not have any cultivation benefits, they tasted sweet.

After a moment’s thought, he suddenly asked, “Is it better for it to bear fruit once a year or once in a long while?”

“Senior Brother, are you asking me?” Xiao Li asked.

Jiang Hao nodded.

“Will it be delicious if it bears fruit once in a long while?” Xiao Li asked seriously.

“There shouldn’t be much difference,” said Jiang Hao. “But maybe there’ll be a difference in essence.”

“If it won’t be as delicious, isn’t it okay for it to bear fruits once every year?” asked Xiao Li.

Jiang Hao shook his head slightly.

If it became a divine tree, how could I be any less powerful or delicious?

Xiao Li seemed conflicted.

She asked how long exactly was “a long while.”

Jiang Hao thought for a moment and said that it would take as much time as she would take to eat ten thousand peaches.

Xiao Li opened her mouth wide. She counted on her fingers and shook her head unwillingly.

Jiang Hao did not say anything.

Xiao Li was unwilling, but if needed, the tree would have to go through its last incarnation.

After all, delicious peaches could be replaced, but a divine peach tree was another matter, especially since Xiao Li might grow up sooner or later and leave.

After that, what was the point of keeping a peach tree which only bore fruits?

Jiang Hao did not eat peaches often.

He took care of the peaches because he knew there were people like Xiao Li who loved to eat them. It made him cherish the tree.

If there was no one to eat them, he probably would not care for it.

“Senior Brother, I’ve been dreaming lately,” Xiao Li suddenly said.

“Dreaming about?” Jiang Hao was shocked. He had heard about Xiao Li’s dreams.

She had told him that she had been having bad dreams ever since her parents pa.s.sed away.

When Jiang Hao was in danger or on the verge of death, she used to dream a lot.

If she was having bad dreams again, was he in danger?

Jiang Hao was confused.

So far, he did not feel like he was in any imminent danger.

“Yeah, but it’s different from before. I keep dreaming that I can’t move,” Xiao Li said.

“You can’t move in the dream?” Jiang Hao asked.

Xiao Li nodded.

Jiang Hao lowered his head.

Xiao Li was not an ordinary person. She was born with a magical ability, and her dreams held meaning.

It could mean something.

He appraised her. It had been a long time since he had appraised Xiao Li to check her condition.

It was the same for Hong Yuye. He had wanted to appraise her after becoming an immortal, but he had never gotten a chance.

[Jiang Xiao Li: True Disciple of the Heavenly Note Sect at the early stage of the Golden Core Realm. She was severely injured by the Heavenly Thunder and lost her memories. Her essence resonates with the Archean Abyss Dragon Pearl, and she can use its power. The higher her cultivation, the more likely past learnings will surface. Recently, she has been dreaming frequently and worries that you might be in danger. But she also feels like the dreams might not be about you. Still growing… Needs to eat more.]

Looking at the feedback, Jiang Hao frowned.

He did not mention anything about it.

Moreover, he had a feeling that his divine ability did not appraise Xiao Li in detail.

Every appraisal always mentioned that she was severely injured.

To this day, he did not know what the heavenly Thunder really was.

‘I wonder if there are dragons with innate divine abilities…’ Jiang Hao thought.
