typos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the afternoon, Jiang Hao was still hesitating about what to buy,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>when he received a message about the token.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon checking, it was from Yan Yuezhi, who said Lou Mantian wanted to see him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he was willing, he could reveal his location and let him come over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not, they wouldn't disturb his leisure time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao stared at the message in silence for a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Mantian, he had met him before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He seemed alright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did the other party want to meet him because they had something to say?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao didn't quite understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, from the era of Gu Jin, it was possible to inquire about some matters of that time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, there was a certain connection between the other party and the Corpse Realm Flower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe he could get some news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Will you meet him?\" Heavenly Note Sect asked casually while holding a hairpin from a nearby stall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's meet, I might gain something, and besides, Tea Master is also in the West, and Lou Mantian is a Daluo of the West after all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although his cultivation hasn't recovered, facing him would still be dangerous for Tea Master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A greeting would ensure there isn't too much danger on his side,\" Jiang Hao said casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He actually could have also notified the Western Astronomical Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was afraid it would stick and wouldn't go away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially Jing Dajiang and the other two leaders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had intervened several times, making him unsure how to repay them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He still owed them for their kindness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few Dao stones were nowhere near enough to repay them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially when ascending, they had almost gambled the entire academy's great luck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterward, Jiang Hao sent a message saying they could meet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was just at the Ancient City nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Jiang Hao stopped overthinking and asked, \"Does Senior Sister want to buy a hairpin?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why do you think in many stories, the male and female protagonists buy hairpins on the street?\" Heavenly Note Sect suddenly asked, \"I've actually seen quite a few people, and at the beginning, the event of buying hairpins together rarely happens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after these kinds of books appear, it becomes more common.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why did Senior Sister come then?\" Jiang Hao asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I wanted to experience what it feels like,\" Heavenly Note Sect casually replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They probably think it's quite nice,\" Jiang Hao pondered before continuing,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Perhaps they are both naïve about such matters, knowing very little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then they read some books, or hear storytellers talking about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They begin to have expectations and aspirations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It also gives them something to do as a reference.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's like there was no path in the mountains at first, but because someone took the initiative and left footprints, those who come later know the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over time, that track has become a path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cultivation might be the same; walking in the footsteps of those before us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If one reaches the end and cannot see the footsteps of others,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>then one needs to create a path that didn't exist before.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While saying this, Jiang Hao stood rooted to the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He always felt like he should grasp something,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>yet it seemed like he couldn't quite seize it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a moment, he was enveloped in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had established the Foundation of Dao, with himself as the core, forming an endless Tao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The manifestations of Tao are myriad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blooming and wilting of flowers, the change of seasons, the cycles of life and death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All are the winds of the Tao, an embodiment of the Dao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three thousand diversities of Tao all converge to the same essence, the core of the profound depths of the Tao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Jiang Hao had already shattered the facade, creating the Foundation of Dao in its depths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What about what follows?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where is the direction?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Should one root deeper or grow toward the light?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one told him, no one solved his confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now he stood like an ordinary passer-by, in an endless field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were no paths or footprints of those who came before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't know what lay in each direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stood there,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>gazing into the distance, in silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if he was in a void, without seeing the sun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Jiang Hao's understanding of the Dao manifested as he began to search for its direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in an instant, the aura of the Dao covered the entire Ancient City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was enveloped by the Dao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ordinary people and fellow disciples alike\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>were all frozen in place at that moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if a person's Dao had extracted them from the cosmic Dao,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>creating a freeze in time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In such a stasis, only those who vaguely grasped the Dao intent could barely think.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those with Dao Patterns could move simply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who manifested the way of the Dao were little affected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they didn't know what had happened and fled in terror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heavenly Note Sect watched everything, incredibly shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In her wildest dreams, she hadn't anticipated that selling a hairpin would lead to such an event.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shaking her head with a sigh, she waved her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, the people in the Ancient City were directly moved out of the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did they come to their senses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterward, her gaze penetrated everything, landing on the noodle shop owner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the owner who had previously recognized Gu Jin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed there was some acquaintance between them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noted by Heavenly Note Sect, she also felt a rush of panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, across the distance, she performed a formal greeting: \"I have seen the senior.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go to the Western Astronomical Academy and have someone come over to take care of the people outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do not let unrelated personnel in here for the time being.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The noodle shop owner respectfully complied: \"I will go right away.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did Heavenly Note Sect bring out a table and chairs and began to brew tea, quietly waiting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn't know how long the wait would be,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>but it didn't seem to cause much of a stir.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It shouldn't bring about too much change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following that, a formation started expanding from beneath her feet, preventing ordinary people from approaching or peering in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without her permission, people outside fundamentally couldn't enter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>at the Western Astronomical Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Next time something like this happens, kiddo, you must inform us proactively,\" Jing Dajiang lectured with concern:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good news should be shared so that we know it and can come back in time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's not that we're avoiding you, we just didn't know you were at the door.\u003C\u002Fp>",1114,"2026-06-03T11:46:43.028Z","2026-06-03T11:46:50.449Z",1,"novelbin.me","ba64822d3ed5e0cec182848e8a268f950a96c382bfa4a910e41a18624e97a554","cultivating-in-secret-beside-a-demoness-chapter-1867","cultivating-in-secret-beside-a-demoness-chapter-1865",2139,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcultivating-in-secret-beside-a-demoness-cover.jpg"]
