Chapter 567: How Many Things Do You Owe Me?

Gui spoke up.

However, everyone was looking at Xing. The formation was definitely not as simple as it appeared.

“This formation has a strange aspect,” Xing said. “Any solution is useless. Typically, breaking a part of the formation, modifying a part, or utilizing a part can unlock it. But none of that has worked. Any modification is instantly repaired, and any dismantled parts are restored. You cannot use any of the nodes or patterns on it. So, this seemingly simple trapping formation leaves us helpless.”

Everyone was puzzled. How could that be solved?

Jiang Hao certainly had no idea, but he thought of someone. Mi Lingyue.

She was a master at formations.

However, he couldn’t meet her for now. Otherwise, he could have sought her guidance.

“Do any of you have any clues to share with me?” Xing asked.

The others nodded, but they couldn’t think of any relevant solutions for the time being. This required knowledge of formations and couldn’t be solved just by having high cultivation realms. In the gathering, it seemed that no one was particularly skilled in formations except Xing, who had brought the issue up.

While the conversation continued for a while, the gathering came to an end at the reminder of Senior Dan Yuan.

When Jiang Hao opened his eyes, he saw Hong Yuye still drinking tea.

“Is it over?” she asked in a melodious voice.

Jiang Hao nodded. “Yes. There was a lot of information this time.”

He then started by sharing the news about the Heaven Lock Technique and how someone wanted to borrow it from the Heavenly Note Sect.

“Do you think the Heavenly Note Sect will agree to lend it?” Hong Yuye asked curiously.

“In theory, they should. Elder Baizhi obtained the Heaven Lock Technique and then gave it to me. No one within the entire Heavenly Note Sect could translate it. I also can’t translate it at the moment. If a powerful individual is willing to share what they see in the technique, there’s no reason not to agree. If that person is too powerful, the Heavenly Note Sect has no right to refuse. If that person isn’t very powerful, then they won’t have the ability to do much

“Do you think an expert will be able to comprehend the Heaven Lock Technique?” Hong Yuye asked.

Jiang Hao shook his head. “I don’t know.”

Hong Yuye smiled faintly. “In theory, what would happen if the Heaven Lock Technique was known to more people?”

“It would cause a ma.s.sive commotion,” Jiang Hao said.

While other information being known was not a problem, the Heaven Lock Technique was something to be avoided. Just knowing it was dangerous.

Once it spread, someone would inevitably come to ask about it. Could Heavenly Note Sect refuse if it was someone powerful?

Jiang Hao took out the Heaven Lock Technique and said earnestly, “So, I would like to ask you for a favor, Senior. Please seal the first third of the Heaven Lock Technique.”

Seeing the Heaven Lock Technique on the table, Hong Yuye extended her hand and opened it. Jiang Hao couldn’t look directly at it, but he could see that Hong Yuye was unaffected.

“Well, I could help you, but I would need to take something away in return from you. Do you remember how many things you owe me?” Hong Yuye pressed her palm against the Heaven Lock Technique.

Her palm glowed. The beginning part of the Heaven Lock Technique seemed to be obscured and difficult to discern.

Jiang Hao thought for a while. “Four things.”

The first favor was when he had asked her for help at Xiao Li’s village. The second favor was for helping with healing himself. The third was for crus.h.i.+ng the Heaven Lock Stone, and now the fourth was to seal the Heaven Lock Technique.

Hong Yuye smiled gently. “So, have you decided whether you’ll lose an arm or a

With that, she retracted her slender hand, and the Heaven Lock Technique became invisible once again. It fell in front of Jiang Hao.

Jiang Hao silently retrieved the item without saying a word. He feared that speaking up would indeed cost him an arm or a leg.

He would find a way to avoid this problem in the future.

However, he still didn’t know Hong Yuye’s level of cultivation realm.

He could only confirm that it must be above the Immortal Ascension Platform.

After that, he briefly mentioned the matter of the Thousand Faces Treasure Fan. It wouldn’t be long before he could contact Feng Lua.

Hong Yuye remained silent. It seemed that this matter had little to do with her.

After some hesitation, Jiang Hao asked, “Senior, what do you think the Unity of

Heaven and Earth is?”

Hong Yuye gave Jiang Hao a meaningful look. “You can ask the Saint Bandits that question yourself. By now, you’ve made an impression on them, and it won’t be long before you encounter them again. At that time, you should think about how to escape from their clutches.”

Jiang Hao was speechless.

It made him feel like he couldn’t escape from Hong Yuye. Staying here and tending to the flowers was the safest option.

He just didn’t know when the Saint Bandits would emerge. If enough time pa.s.sed, perhaps they could have a conversation on equal terms.

Afterward, Jiang Hao drew out the formation that Xing had provided and explained the situation. Hong Yuye didn’t say anything. She seemed completely disinterested.

Next were some observations: the secret location related to the Fallen Immortal Clan, discontent among the various Heavenly Kings regarding Hai Luo, and the ongoing search for The End of All Things.

“Any news about the Abyssal Dragon Ball?” asked Hong Yuye.

“I asked the fish people, but the information got mixed up. We’re still waiting,” Jiang Hao said.

From this, he confirmed that the Ancestral Dragon’s Heart and the Dragon Pearl were two different things. Both could potentially appear in the Abyssal

Sea.

Hong Yuye was very interested in the Dragon Clan. Once there was news, they might need to make a trip overseas.

They would have to delay the progress with the fish people and get the Thousand Faces Treasure Fan first.

Jiang Hao also needed to wait for the end of the gate-guarding mission.

During that period, they might have to deal with the Blackheaven Sect and the Fallen Immortal Clan. Furthermore, Hai Ming would also turn out to be troublesome..
