I achieved Daluo status at the age of four hundred, not from that era, but from my own era.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The corpse collector stood still, then burst into laughter and said: “Great Elder, do you still remember what I said before?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He casually tossed the iron chains aside and, sitting atop the coffin, continued:“I said, the next time we met, you would be the one requesting my aid.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m not asking.” Jiang Hao shook his head: “The Western Astronomical Academy is no longer powerful.

That woman is no ordinary person. The moment she came in here, she claimed she was sent by the Ancient Yin-Yang Millstone, and the corpse collector at that time actually believed her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She also said she couldn’t withstand the erosion here and needed a safe place to study, to explore all causes and maybe one day unravel the mysteries from millennia ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Interestingly enough, the corpse collector was curious too, given the ancient origins of this place, so he really did arrange a spot for this woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, there’s no coming and going from that place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She can utilize the advantage brought by the sea area to investigate things, but she herself cannot come out, nor can she send messages out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, we also cannot enter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is for her protection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s a necessity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She said someone would come to rescue her. That must be you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who is she to you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elder dean asked with some curiosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao pondered a moment and said: “My wife’s mother.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, the elder dean paused, then looked towards Red Rain Ye: “Her?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao nodded: “Yes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elder dean fell silent for a while then asked: “Has Gu Jin Tian married?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No.” Jiang Hao replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What about Jing Dajiang?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He hasn’t, either.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Da Hai and Da He?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And Red Dragon?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing these words, the elder dean took a deep breath and said with a pained voice: “Great Elder, you’ve betrayed us.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao: “….”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Your being single, what does it have to do with me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I know where the fairy guard is, but I cannot go there right now. Let’s head to the shore first.” Saying this, the elder dean started heading toward the shore with the coffin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao paused then said: “Actually, there’s another matter.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What is it?” The elder dean asked curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao took out that coffin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the coffin, the elder dean paused: “That person is also you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s me.” Jiang Hao nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You actually survived.” The elder dean said emotionally: “You’re quite capable, surviving such an ordeal.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao nodded in agreement: “Yes, this matter is rather complicated.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t tell me, I’m not fit to know everything. Remember, I am a corpse collector, and a corpse collector’s memory is inheritable.” The elder dean said seriously: “No one is certain when this era will end, and who will succeed once it’s over.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, they arrived at the shore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Jiang Hao’s first time at this particular shore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elder dean then pulled the coffin onto the shore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then took over the coffin and said: “This coffin isn’t particularly special, and it isn’t difficult to open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the person inside may not be alive.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Will opening it have any impact?” Jiang Hao asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course, do you not know what this place is? Someone like her, just being in contact with this place for a moment is a tremendous damage, unless your strength is sufficient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There’s another way, to open it at the place where your mother-in-law is.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps it would be okay then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, it would be best if I were the one to open it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, you have to request my help.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao: “…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is the wife of the Human Emperor.” Jiang Hao replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Request my help.” The elder dean asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Human Emperor stands supreme through the ages.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Request my help.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Human Emperor is indeed a great hero of our people.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Request my help.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heavenly Note Sect watched the two, didn’t overthink, and started preparing the table and chairs for a tea ceremony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s still tea?” Upon hearing this, the old headmaster immediately took a seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao then took out two teacups.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the fragrance of tea was overflowing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Headmaster: “….”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao, sipping tea, remarked, “This is great tea, Dew of the First Sun, have you had it before, Headmaster?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Headmaster: “….”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao chuckled, “Beg me, and if you do, I might let you taste it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Headmaster: “….”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heavenly Note Sect looked at Jiang Hao and thought that the person before her was really childish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So did the corpse collector.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, the two haggled for quite a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old headmaster gave in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No need for anyone to beg anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let’s just have tea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While drinking tea, the old headmaster was quite emotional, as if he were back at the Western Astronomical Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is the academy still doing well?” he asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Very well, Jing Dajiang is quite formidable,” Jiang Hao replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’s getting all the benefits for nothing,” the old headmaster sighed, “We’re working for him, helping to elevate his position.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao laughed heartily, “Would you like to return and continue being the headmaster?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The headmaster naturally refused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pulling coffins is quite interesting; it’s enjoyable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being headmaster is out of the question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t do it when he was alive, and certainly wouldn’t now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he looked at Jiang Hao with great emotion, “I never thought I would meet the Great Elder under such circumstances, it’s truly miraculous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Were you already Daluo back then?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, I achieved Daluo status, besides Helpless Heaven, Human Emperor, and Gu Jin, probably no one can match me,” Jiang Hao answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re still no match for Gu Jin?
