Is this something a normal person can solve?” The State Preceptor questioned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Truly mediocre.” Heavenly Note Sect said with disdain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>State Preceptor: “….”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eventually, she leaned back and asked, “Besides this, is there anything else you need from me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao pondered briefly, then shook his head and said, “Not really.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then it’s my turn to speak. This place is not simple; there are many things I can talk about.” The State Preceptor addressed the person before her: “Once I came here, it meant that it would be difficult to leave again; I’m already dead.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least in this universe, I am indeed dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Causality has been severed; there is no future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So to leave rashly is not advisable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s like that coffin; it cannot be opened on the outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once it is opened, she would emerge abruptly, out of place, and struggle to adapt to the new world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Death and the dissolution of Dao are all normal outcomes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially if she bears some kind of object on her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, these are all secondary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After I arrived, I found it extremely difficult to survive. However, the corpse collector knew I came in because of the Ancient Yin-Yang Millstone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only that, but I also talked about the functions of the Ancient Yin-Yang Millstone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I even said I could know more, so I fought for a chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was to create this room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How the corpse collector did it, I don’t know, but I successfully entered, and the moment the door closed, I couldn’t go out and people from outside couldn’t come in.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In fact, it wasn’t the corpse collector who created this place; it seems to be something that similar to what already existed, and then it merged and produced this place.” The Dean said: “It should be a relic from a long time ago, but the corpse collectors usually won’t come in by themselves.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normally, it’s against the rules for corpse collectors to enter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time they could enter because the Great Elder opened the door, especially since he was carrying the Ancient Yin-Yang Millstone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ancient Yin-Yang Millstone holds certain privileges in this place.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes.” The State Preceptor nodded and said: “I have discovered that the Ancient Yin-Yang Millstone is an extremely important object; it is both a deterrent and a hope.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I used to understand little; I couldn’t ascertain what hope was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, upon my observations, I realize that this hope has two meanings.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao was somewhat surprised; the State Preceptor indeed knew a lot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not speak, but listened quietly, since the story would certainly continue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, his time here was truly running short.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was time to leave, else once the connection with the outside world brokeIt would be quite troublesome for him to go out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you know the cause of the Great Era’s ultimate catastrophe?” The State Preceptor asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Because of that person?” Jiang Hao inquired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not directly utter Cheng Yun’s name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s not a big deal for him to say it, but it’s easy to stir things up if others hear it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You know quite a lot.” The State Preceptor remarked with a sense of loss: “Then I will directly tell you my conclusion about the Ancient Yin-Yang Millstone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Firstly, I am still not very clear about the origin of the Ancient Yin-Yang Millstone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as long as we reverse it one more time, we should be able to find out.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the way, do you know what would happen if we turn it forward three times?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao nodded and said: “Turning it forward three times, that’s one of the hopes, especially the third time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It destroys everything, but what is certain is that the Ancient Yin-Yang Millstone has been turned three times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Additionally, if turned three times more, the Ancient Yin-Yang Millstone will disappear completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That is to say, whether it’s turned forward three times or reversed three times, it will completely disappear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How to choose will depend on the holder’s decision.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Turning it forward three times means mutual destruction?” Jiang Hao asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes.” The State Preceptor nodded: “Mutual destruction, but… it’s only temporary, after all, it’s been turned once and it seems to have failed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I cannot know the specifics; perhaps after reversing it a second time, we will be able to understand.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao was silent for a moment; when the heavens and earth are destroyed, the Tao crumbles, and all things come to naught.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In what situation would such a thing be necessary?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then what will happen upon the third reversal?” Jiang Hao asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The second kind of hope.” The State Preceptor looked at Jiang Hao and said: “All under heaven act together, elevating everything to the utmost, reaching the highest heights of the Tao and the world, hence seeking a hope.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Succeed, and it is everlasting ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fail, and not even the chance to delay the inevitable would remain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A fight with one’s back to the river.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therein lies both victory and defeat, as well as life and death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When your strength is sufficient, and the Great Era reaches a certain point, perhaps you will have to face such a choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for how to choose, nobody knows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps it rests on a single thought in someone’s mind.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao was silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the object lies in his hands, then how to choose will depend on his single thought?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This responsibility really is enormous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s not one I would choose for myself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I will not perish together with others; what I’ve always wanted is to survive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perishing together does not align with my philosophy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And if everyone dies, what meaning is there to it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps some great beings place their hopes on the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hoping to give future beings a chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I am a selfish person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I need not consider the future of other beings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The answer is actually quite simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being selfish, when faced with death myself,I wouldn’t care at all how many others my decision might kill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only thing that matters is whether I can survive, whether the Heavenly Note Sect can survive with me, and whether those troublesome ones will remain alive…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I can survive, then I’ll do everything within my power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whatever is in my capacity, I will do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I cannot survive,Then… I’ll strive to survive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether it is to enhance my strength or something else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In any case, no one can stop me from the path of survival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking everyone down with me is not what I hope for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thoughts in Jiang Hao’s heart are fleeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The State Preceptor looked at the person before him with some surprise: “You have an answer?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes,” Jiang Hao replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To bear the weight of all the people in the world, you’ve made your decision so quickly?” the State Preceptor asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao shook his head: “State Preceptor, you are mistaken. I never bore the weight of the people of the world. There are protagonists in this universe, they have their fates, I will not vie for their opportunities, not seize their fortunes, and if necessary, I will even help them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because their hearts are set on the world, fighting for the sake of the people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, I do not battle for the sake of the people, nor do I compete with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I am not that noble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My aspirations lie elsewhere.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Jiang Hao’s reply, the State Preceptor was stunned and then suddenly said: “You don’t seem like a good person.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao smiled and nodded: “I was born in the Heavenly Note Sect.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Heavenly Note Sect? The kind that commits all sorts of evil?” the State Preceptor asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes,” Jiang Hao nodded, “They indeed are not good people.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How did you end up in the Heavenly Note Sect?” the State Preceptor asked casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She did not care much about these details.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding the Heavenly Note Sect, she had no feelings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite being adored by the people,they killed countless others in their pursuit of establishing a dynasty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They are not good people either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the intentions of Helpless Heaven were good, and the original purpose was also good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A united dynasty under heaven, to let all people live peaceful lives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Preventing large-scale chaos from arising again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ultimately, they wanted to ensure the survival of the dynasty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alas, they ultimately failed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And they failed very thoroughly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In their late-stage, they dared not even enhance themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because with each enhancement, the end drew closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only when the Heavenly Note Sect had completed its own path, did they start their final journey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regrettably, it was to no avail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time was insufficient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Helpless Heaven said, no matter how hard you try, you’re always one step too late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This path was wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But once embarked upon, you can’t turn back, even if it means everyone must die, they must continue forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That era, perhaps only two powerhouses survived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One was the Princess they had sent away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other was the East Heavenly Pole, who had been severely injured early on and couldn’t recover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Helpless Heaven still valued talent, unwilling for the East Heavenly Pole to fall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, their East Heavenly Pole might be extremely important for future generations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He may have died, but the inheritance of Helpless Heaven was passed on; the East Heavenly Pole had no inheritance, so he could not die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the way, why don’t you leave the Heavenly Note Sect?” the State Preceptor asked again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Red Rain: “….”\u003C\u002Fp>",1658,"2026-06-03T11:46:44.214Z","2026-06-03T11:46:51.947Z",1,"novelbin.me","847e196e05515c0c79e3e618e852b73d0aad7701e6904496f259ed25c3f7862d","cultivating-in-secret-beside-a-demoness-chapter-1992","cultivating-in-secret-beside-a-demoness-chapter-1990",2139,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcultivating-in-secret-beside-a-demoness-cover.jpg"]
