Keep searching for more opportunities, and then advance again? An endless cycle?\" Chang Wei asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew what his goals were, but it seemed the others were uncertain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sudden change puzzled him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normally, they should not feel so lost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Jiang Hao raised his head slightly. Only then did he realize that three swords had appeared above their heads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One for each of them…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'So, it's because of that…' Jiang Hao thought in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The swords were pitch-black and almost invisible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt like these swords were absorbing everything around them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were completely different from the Primordial Heavenly Blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Curious, he gently raised his hand and, with a slight movement of his power, brought the sword towards him. Finally, he grasped it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I can hold it?' Jiang Hao was surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt very ordinary, and upon closer inspection, there was not even a speck of dust on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'It's not the main thing.' Jiang Hao sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's keep moving forward together,\" he said to the two beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two remained silent for a moment and were unable to respond to Jiang Hao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their eyes were filled with confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you don't know where to go, just keep moving forward. Maybe you'll find your true calling,\" Jiang Hao suggested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did the two react and follow Jiang Hao as they continued forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The farther they went, the purer the aura around them became.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed that as long as they kept moving forward, they would gain great benefits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao led the way, with the two following behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they discovered anything along the way, the benefits they would gain would multiply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'This sword is extraordinary.' Jiang Hao thought as he looked at the sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt as though he could see through all things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It contained many hidden opportunities, and if a person was suitable enough, they could obtain what was meant for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao, however, was not suitable for anything, so he couldn't obtain any opportunities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, when Gu Jin arrived, he likely had no need for anything, so he ventured deep into the area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Jiang Hao couldn't obtain any opportunities, it wasn't easy to enter the deeper parts of the realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ease he was experiencing was mostly because of Gu Jin's name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Jiang Hao continued forward, he noticed fewer people around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some stood in place, confused, though their strength continued to surge, and their cultivation advanced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only a few people were moving outward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the way, he saw two black eagles. They were slowly breaking free.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This indicated that their mental state was not strong enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A surge of power erupted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Chang Wei. As he continued forward, his cultivation reached the peak, and he was about to break through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it was clearly not the time for that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether he could find his own path would determine how much of an opportunity he could seize.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao subtly moved his finger and suppressed the breakthrough. He encouraged further refinement and the search for opportunities for both of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Yan, in her green robe, was not far behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both of them had good fortunes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they still maintained this state by the time they reached the depths, they might miss out on a great opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the opportunities they had encountered were already quite impressive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People must learn to be content. Greed could lead to a downfall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Jiang Hao moved further inside, he noticed fewer and fewer people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only a handful were able to move forward in their confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So far, there was not a single person who could maintain their rationality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was until he saw someone standing under a tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This person was staring ahead, unlike the others who were hesitant and wandering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What caught Jiang Hao's attention was not the person's behavior but their silhouette.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chu Chuan?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao was surprised. He never thought that he would see the latter here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a heart shrouded in dust, Chu Chuan would have been unable to cleanse his mind and embark on his own immortal path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike others, Chu Chuan's path was destined to be tough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His achievement of the middle stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm at such a young age was already beyond most people's expectations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn't born a genius, so his path to immortality was bound to be challenging, yet he had stubbornly kept pace with the most talented individuals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among his peers, few could compare to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Chu Chuan, Jiang Hao did not avoid him but walked up to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he approached, he noticed that tears streamed down Chu Chuan's face, as if he were facing great difficulty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's wrong?\" Jiang Hao asked softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Chu Chuan turned to him. The moment he saw Jiang Hao, his tears flowed uncontrollably, as if a dam had burst.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior…Senior Brother?\" His lips trembled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\" Jiang Hao nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I...I...I forgot,\" Chu Chuan stammered. He felt as though he were a child in front of a parent. \"I forgot what I was supposed to do. I forgot why I worked so hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When I was misunderstood, all I thought about was how to clear up any misunderstanding. When I was being hunted, I thought about how to escape. When someone saved me, I thought about how to repay them. I've been through so much. I was misunderstood, betrayed, insulted, and hunted. But I was really trying to help them. I never meant any harm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1058,"2026-06-03T11:46:26.324Z","2026-06-03T11:46:35.398Z",1,"novelbin.me","9498eed5c8f61ec3b86eb18c1595d527eacf3bc57eba8fa734e142d21b4d43ff","cultivating-in-secret-beside-a-demoness-chapter-1500","cultivating-in-secret-beside-a-demoness-chapter-1498",2139,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcultivating-in-secret-beside-a-demoness-cover.jpg"]
