(2)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Jade Cloud Pavilion was especially tolerant toward the patrons of the ninth floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was reasonable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the two people frowned as they tried to wipe the words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could not erase it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if they used all their cultivation and lifeforce, it would be difficult to wipe them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s wrong?” Miss Hu asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two of them stopped. “We can’t wipe it off. This person isn’t an ordinary person. We’ll have to find someone else to wipe it off.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who?” Miss Hu was curious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“People from the Heavenly Tower,” one of the black-robed men said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miss Hu was shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was it really necessary to disturb the people of the Heavenly Tower to wipe some words off the pillar?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cultivation of these two people was powerful, and they had countless treasures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could they not try again before seeking help from the Heavenly Tower?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Perhaps you don’t understand it, but we must ask the people from the Heavenly Tower. Who left these words? Did they give a name?” asked the black-robed man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That person told me that if someone from the Heavenly Tower came to wipe the words away, Shan Qinghe should be told that the person’s last name is ‘Gu.’”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the courtyard of the Heavenly Note Sect, Jiang Hao let out a long, drawn breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was finally back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had gone out for quite a long time this time, and most matters had been taken care of.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After this, he would have to do his best to improve himself and ascend to the final stage of the Immortal Ascension Platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had to try his best to give himself enough time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So far, he was running out of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mountain Sea Seal was especially important.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If its effect was not significant, he would have to find the Holy Master again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he was about to die, it should not be too much to ask for a divine soul and some spirit stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His cultivation still needed improvement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other warehouse was temporarily inaccessible, so he could only visit another place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With so many warehouses, it should be enough for him to improve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it was not, he would find a mine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past, he had lacked time but not as much as he did now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before, as long as he quietly waited for the days to pass, he could gradually become stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this time, he could not wait. A day passed was a day lost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, there was nothing much left for him to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Great Thousand God Sect had done their best and the matters overseas had also come to an end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All that was left was to wait. He had to wait to learn more things and to visit other places.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a good thing that he had established a connection with the Holy Master. It had reduced a lot of trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just that the Black Dragon was another problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He needed to deal with it soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he was debating about whether he should talk to the Black Dragon, he suddenly sensed that there was someone outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Junior Brother Han Ming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, he walked out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected, Junior Brother Han Ming had visited with a sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His steps were steady, and his aura was restrained. When he walked over, he was like a sword that broke through the spiritual energy and stirred up a wave of power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was at the peak of the Gold Core Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was so strong. His aura was impressive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao smiled at him. “Junior Brother Han, it’s been so long.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Ming was now in his forties. He was no longer as young and impulsive as before. He was calm and composed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao had watched him grow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was more like a sword cultivator at the moment. This kind of sword’s intent was no longer something that ordinary people could compare to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a sword and a guiding teacher, Junior Brother Han Ming’s cultivation had soared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, someone at the peak of the Golden Core Realm surpassed so many others and was eligible for the seat of the top disciple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Ming looked at Jiang Hao and said politely, “This time, I’m here to challenge you as well as compete for the seat of the top disciple.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course,” said Jiang Hao. “Right here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright.” Han Ming nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had always competed here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The impact would not be so great. In the past, he had defeated Han Ming in three moves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, he was confident that he could defeat him with just one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Junior Brother, please go ahead.” Jiang Hao took out the Half-Moon Blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Senior Brother, you go first,” Han Ming said proudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Me?” Jiang Hao chuckled. “Alright. Since you’re being so kind, I can’t refuse.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Senior Brother, you’re so carefree. After today, I hope you’ll focus more on your cultivation,” said Han Ming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After today, Han Ming wanted to be addressed as a “Senior Brother.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I can’t be compared to you in any aspect, Junior Brother. You’re blessed by the heavens. Your cultivation is strong. You have outstanding opportunities. I can’t really compare anyhow,” said Jiang Hao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s begin,” Han Ming said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Junior Brother, be careful,” said Jiang Hao as he held onto his Half-Moon Blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon after, the weapons collided.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Half-Moon Blade was still unsheathed. There was a flash, and Jiang Hao disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Ming’s figure also disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Light and shadow clashed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sword intent swept through, and the blade light danced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the two figures appeared on the water’s surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The water exploded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, they disappeared again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao appeared on the opposite bank of the river and swung his blade for the third time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just an ordinary slash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sword’s intent dispersed under his blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blade landed on Han Ming’s shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blade’s light did not stop there. It slashed at the surrounding ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sand and stones flew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A trench dozens of meters deep appeared on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Ming’s hand that was holding the sword dropped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt the chill of the blade’s edge on his neck. He was in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“P-Primordial Spirit Realm?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how prepared he was, he had not expected Jiang Hao to break through to the Primordial Spirit Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I went out for a while and got lucky.” Jiang Hao put away his blade and smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Ming tightly gripped the sword in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, he snorted coldly and turned to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After so many years, Jiang Hao was quite curious about whether Han Ming’s temperament had changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He activated the appraisal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, he obtained feedback that was similar to before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Han Ming had already condensed his Sword Heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It showed how extraordinary he was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was no wonder his sword’s intent was invincible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Jiang Hao had only won by a realm, so it would not affect him much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, Junior Brother Han Ming did not believe that Jiang Hao ascended realms just by luck alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao could only shrug and smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After repairing his surroundings, he returned to his courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a few days, Junior Brother Han Ming would become a candidate for the top disciple position at the peak of the Golden Core Realm category.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had to look for the one at the early stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm to vie for the position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no need to be too loud about it. He would do it discreetly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He just needed a witness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He required the help of the Law Enforcement Hall and wondered how Liu Xingchen was doing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he was still around, he could ask Liu Xingchen to oversee the procedure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sitting under the Immortal Peach Tree, Jiang Hao plucked a peach and took a bite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one had stolen it yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s fine. They’ll leave the mountain in the future.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Be it the spirit beast or Xiao Li, they would have to walk their own paths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Zhi and Chu Chuan were the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Chuan had taken the first step, so it would not take long for the others to catch up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While eating the peaches, Jiang Hao decided to take out the Black Dragon from his storage treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is it sweet?” asked a voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a familiar fragrance in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao got up and saw a woman in a red and white dress looking up at the peach tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao nodded. “Xiao Li was here earlier.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is that so?” Hong Yuye turned to Jiang Hao. “Aren’t you lonely when you’re alone?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao shook his head. “I used to be like this, and I might be like this in the future. So, I don’t really feel lonely.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hong Yuye looked at him and chuckled. “When will it end?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao lowered his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was still running for his life. How could he see that far?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had to deal with this first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hong Yuye did not ask anything further and sat down. “You advanced?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes.” Jiang Hao nodded. “Junior Brother Han Ming came over. After sparring with him, I felt a change. I broke through the peak of the Golden Core Realm and successfully stepped into the early stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“At the Primordial Spirit Realm at forty-six, you’re also a candidate for the position of top disciple. It seems you’re quite talented.” Hong Yuye chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thanks to your blessing, Senior, I advanced a little faster.” Jiang Hao lowered his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hong Yuye ignored his words. “If you continue to advance like this, you might even be able to compete for the first rank in a few years. Perhaps then you can find out if your Sect master is still alive.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t really want to know,” said Jiang Hao, and sighed. “An expert of that level would be too dangerous. Some things are better left unknown.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hong Yuye chuckled. Then, she asked, “You went overseas?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes. I was there to investigate some matters for you, Senior.” Jiang Hao nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is that so?” Hong Yuye looked at him. “Where exactly did you go?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao said truthfully, “I went to a cave and found a Black Dragon.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And?” Hong Yuye asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao was puzzled. Wasn’t the dragon supposed to be the focus?\u003C\u002Fp>",1741,"2026-06-03T11:46:19.484Z","2026-06-03T11:46:26.418Z",1,"novelbin.me","7a07820e595dadb7cf59d8164f89c2ab5b34e45082aca08e6177d0411f249160","cultivating-in-secret-beside-a-demoness-chapter-1187","cultivating-in-secret-beside-a-demoness-chapter-1185",2139,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcultivating-in-secret-beside-a-demoness-cover.jpg"]
