He approached the halberd with an extraordinary aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a supreme divine artifact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could not be touched by just anyone. One slip, and they would disintegrate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, they all anticipated that the man would grasp the halberd and join them in death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao naturally intended to fulfill their expectations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He reached out to grasp the halberd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Yuezhi, observing from the shadows, was somewhat concerned. This man was incredibly powerful, yet seeing him approach the halberd, she knew he could not rival its brilliance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he stretched out his hand, danger would befall him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could even sense the terrifying power within the halberd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, she was unable to warn him. She could only watch helplessly as the person reached out and grabbed the halberd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, she felt an unprecedented surge of power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its source was the ancient halberd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A vast power was awakening bit by bit, and it was about to cover the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The power was surging toward the person holding the halberd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was this man truly so arrogant?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Yuezhi found it hard to believe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the evil cultivators laughed heartily. “Die with us.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“On the road to the afterlife, we will at least have some company.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Heavenly Halberd burst forth with intense light as its power surged toward Jiang Hao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just when the evil cultivator thought that this person was dead for sure, the huge force suddenly lost its ferocity and gently surrounded Jiang Hao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a slight exertion of force, Jiang Hao drew out the halberd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surge of power turned into endless joy as if it had waited for this day to come for years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After being dormant for so long, its power spread.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They surged into the Nine Heavens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wanted to inform the entire western region know that Gu Jin had returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao could clearly sense the joy of the halberd. Gu Jin was right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his name, he could completely control this halberd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he held the halberd, the evil cultivators were stunned on the spot. They could not believe it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, Jiang Hao had no intention of keeping them around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He waved the halberd and stood tall. He then invoked the Black-Yellow Curse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In everyone’s eyes, heaven and earth lost their color. They split into two aspects. One black and another yellow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two then intertwined and merged and annihilated everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A gentle breeze swept over the snow mountain, and the original evil cultivators and corpses vanished without a trace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Jiang Hao remained standing atop the snow mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Satisfied, he then put away the halberd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also deactivated the Heavenly Cauldron and the Yin-Yang Bracelet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced down at the mountain peak and ignored the onlookers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a power of ancient times there. It was probably some opportunity that had been left behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since someone had acquired it, he would not interfere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The immediate priority was to find the scattered spirit stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The halberd was located at an altar. There were countless runes around it and a platform at the front.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took a look at it and found a storage treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is this it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao walked to the altar and sensed the ancient power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These powers did not reject Jiang Hao, and he successfully obtained the storage treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were no issues with the imprints inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could check it at will.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I wonder how many spirit stones there are… Thirty to fifty thousand, at most. Anything less would be too stingy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the Red Dragon was not a beggar. He would not be interested in anything less than thirty to fifty thousand spirit stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that in mind, Jiang Hao checked the storage treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, for some reason, he stood there, stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was only when the snow had covered his shoulders that he touched the storage treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked around and carefully put it away after making sure that there was no one around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked calm, but the trembling of his hands was enough to show that he was far from calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sixteen million spirit stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao took a deep breath to calm himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sixteen million in total.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had never seen so many spirit stones in his life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Jin had said there were some spirit stones that were scattered here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao did not know how he left the snowy mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was in a daze as he walked away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sixteen million spirit stones were just scraps for him. What kind of cultivation realm would someone had to reach to say such things?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walking down the road, Jiang Hao thought about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Jin was not able to leave his prison, and Jiang Hao was the only one who knew about the spirit stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would be okay if there were fifteen million instead of sixteen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who would give someone sixteen million spirit stones anyway?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Usually, giving someone five hundred thousand, one million, one and a half million, or two million, at most.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even that was a lot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao thought for a long time and sighed heavily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Life was full of temptations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was difficult to avoid temptation even after becoming an immortal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had thought he was just bringing a few thousand, at most tens of thousands of spirit stones to the Red Dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That would be enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who would have thought it would be sixteen million?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sixteen million!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he added up all the spirit stones he had earned in his lifetime, he would not be able to earn that much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Jin was giving it away just like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well… at least it would be reasonable to ask for his blood this way.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he needed the dragon’s blood, he would have to rely on the Red Dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hopefully, he still had a lot of blood left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When his strength was sufficient, he could head overseas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would only have one chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Great Era was about to arrive. If he failed, it would be impossible to get any opportunities at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Immortal Mountain Sea Shield would also be lost forever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps one day, when he was stronger, he could retrieve it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But who knew how long that would take?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, he had to become stronger quickly and venture overseas before the Great Era arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>",1153,"2026-06-03T11:46:23.390Z","2026-06-03T11:46:29.085Z",1,"novelbin.me","a6d991c0199163e059bb451bdf455b45242d4ba88c45607ec5a3571fa514f86f","cultivating-in-secret-beside-a-demoness-chapter-1409","cultivating-in-secret-beside-a-demoness-chapter-1408",2139,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcultivating-in-secret-beside-a-demoness-cover.jpg"]
