It used to be them without us. What level of cultivation does he possess?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Daluo,” Yan Yuezhi replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Dajiang was taken aback and said, “If he has changed his ways, we could give him a chance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After pausing, he spoke again, “Is that all?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was he expecting some good news? How is such news of any use to him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although a Daluo is formidable, it is not yet time for them to walk the world unopposed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Mantian might be a threat, but if he comes to the academy, he’s not a threat anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The biggest fear is that it might cause upheaval in the West.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Yuezhi looked at the three men, shook her head slightly: “It’s not just that; mainly, he’s not coming to expound teachings for the academy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, the trio of Jing Dajiang showed surprise, “Is he coming to provoke us? That’s indeed a big deal, but it’s not good news.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, Jing Dajiang regretted his words and wanted to send away the visitor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not that either,” Yan Yuezhi said seriously. “He is coming to lecture for someone, probably the same person who asked me to relay a message to my senior last time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swish!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Dajiang stood up suddenly, slightly shocked and astounded, “Say that again.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Yuezhi was a very serious person. Since the senior had said it, she naturally repeated it again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Dajiang, excitedly said, “Can’t you be more coherent next time? Is it really him coming? But why?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Yuezhi shook her head: “I do not know.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When?” Jing Dajiang asked again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t know,” Yan Yuezhi shook her head once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s alright, no worries,” Jing Dajiang said earnestly. “We did not misjudge you; you are indeed the future hope of our academy. Keep up the good work. In the future, it’s up to you to shoulder the responsibility of our academy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Yuezhi said nothing in response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Jing Dajiang continued, “Just wait patiently, and remember to inform us as soon as there’s any news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The academy needs to be renovated too. Those who are idle, hurry up and clean up the place thoroughly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If someone’s coming to lecture, shouldn’t there be a suitable venue?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day, the academy set about making major renovations to the buildings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one knew why.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they went about it diligently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gatekeeping disciple, An Xiao, watched all this, certain that it must be related to her troublesome disciple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In previous years, countless people entered the academy searching for something, and they are still inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just like her disciple’s contribution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly when did it all start?” An Xiao pondered for a long time but found no answer. “I don’t know when, but almost every major event in the academy came out of her mouth.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>————\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mid-February.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao calculated and found that he was now four hundred eighty-four years old.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Time flies so fast. I was only nineteen when I first met senior,” Jiang Hao mused as he drove his carriage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time, he was merely at the eighth level of Lifeblood Refinement Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was simply unimaginable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, he couldn’t even dare to dream of achieving what he has now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could, at most, think about ascension to immortality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, he’s on the pathway to Becoming a Saint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he does not know when he will succeed, he is ultimately on this path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What would it be like if I hadn’t appeared?” Heavenly Note Sect said, sitting beside Jiang Hao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their carriage was fast yet stable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The carriage was purchased, but the horse was caught. It was a particularly fierce demonic beast that resembled a horse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Immortal Ascension cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To enjoy the scenery, Jiang Hao could only inconvenience it a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were now in the North, not far from the Shanghai Sword Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hadn’t appeared?” Jiang Hao pondered briefly: “There would probably be many changes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower, he would not have been able to learn the Hong Meng Heart Sutra.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps he could have learned it later, but at the expense of much time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There would also be no chance to learn the Seven Forms of Heavenly Blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“With the help of my senior, my cultivation has improved rapidly. Without you, it’s questionable whether I’d have become an immortal by now,” Jiang Hao admitted candidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without Heavenly Note Sect, he might not have come across so many things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, there was also the likelihood that he might have died prematurely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another possibility was being forced to leave in search of opportunities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether it would have been good or bad, it’s impossible to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though his journey was fraught with dangers, it indeed quickened his pace of improvement and brought him into contact with powerful Dharma.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So you’re saying that I also have a part in your strength?” Heavenly Note Sect said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao nodded: “Yes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heavenly Note Sect was quite surprised upon hearing this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she shook her head and said, “It’s the same, whether I appear or not, you would still embark on this path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the fact someone poisoned me back then is still bizarre, logically speaking, it should be the person behind the secret code stone pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But why would he target me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m not worth his attention.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Jiang Hao also felt it was so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heavenly Note Sect was indeed strong, but not worth Cheng Yun going to such lengths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do you think is special about me?” Heavenly Note Sect suddenly asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heavenly Note Sect is related to Helpless Heaven, but such uniqueness shouldn’t be enough to catch Cheng Yun’s interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So what was the reason?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there was something on Heavenly Note Sect that others didn’t possess, it would be that scar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But so many years have passed, and there haven’t been any other reactions from the adversary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is it possible that someone else poisoned you?” Jiang Hao asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s hard to confirm, but there aren’t many who can poison me,” Heavenly Note Sect stated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao felt the same way, especially during that period, when immortals seldom appeared, how could someone threaten Heavenly Note Sect?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, Cheng Yun remained the prime suspect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forget that period, even during this time, there aren’t many who could succeed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, neither of them could come up with any other answers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unconsciously, they had arrived at the Mountain Sea Sword Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Jiang Hao approached, the guards of the Mountain Sea Sword Sect turned their gaze towards him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To his surprise, it was an acquaintance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kendo Pioneer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unexpectedly, this senior was actually guarding the gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing Jiang Hao and his companion, Kendo Pioneer approached and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where have you two come from?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“From the southern region,” Jiang Hao replied with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It seems it’s indeed you two,” Kendo Pioneer said as he looked at Jiang Hao: “Our Sword God has been expecting you, Friend Xing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao nodded, not surprised: “I heard the senior attained Dao fruit, who did you give it to in the end?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It was given to an elder, he felt this era wasn’t safe, so he gave up on Kendo and used the Dao fruit to make a breakthrough. He’s still in seclusion. It will probably take him another couple of hundred years to emerge. Ascending to Daluo is indeed not easy,” Kendo Pioneer said with a smile: “I don’t even know if I’ll get a chance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do you think, Senior?” Jiang Hao asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course, there’s a chance!” Kendo Pioneer laughed: “After all, my name is Kendo Pioneer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sword precedes the path, and Daluo is but a road on the great Tao, yet I am even closer to the forefront.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao nodded with a smile: “I feel the same way.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Speaking of which, Sword God suddenly woke up and said he wants to meet guests, why does he want to see you both?” Kendo Pioneer seemed slightly puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Naturally, it’s because of your fame,” Jiang Hao said with a laugh: “After all, the Sword God is a peerless Daluo in Daluo.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, he even won against Gu Jin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as how East Heavenly Pole claimed victory in saber arts over Helpless Heaven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Helpless Heaven also practiced saber arts incidentally; to his might, Helpless Heaven meant nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Relying solely on his own Great Overarching Heaven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, his own path had already collapsed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s really remarkable, but can I experience it too?” Kendo Pioneer asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I might sense it a bit quicker,” Jiang Hao said with a chuckle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No problem, usually after sensing it for a year or two, one wakes up for a while and then has discussions on the Tao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll give it a try then,” Kendo Pioneer spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Jiang Hao nodded with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A year or two?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sword God must be very strong, yet it’s unlikely he’ll surpass three days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the Great Era fades, he lost to Gu Jin, and even with his exceptional talents, he wouldn’t get far.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, time wasn’t on his side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The grand hall of the Mountain Sea Sword Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others had long since departed from the vicinity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone knew that distinguished guests were arriving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Jiang Hao arrived, he only saw a middle-aged man sitting at the highest place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking down at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His presence was calm, his sword’s intent mundane.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost unlike someone who practices swordsmanship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Greetings, Senior,” Jiang Hao respectfully paid his respects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, Jiang Hao had always had a question: who was Senior Dan Yuan?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterward, it was this Sword God.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wondering whether he would be able to discern it later.\u003C\u002Fp>",1663,"2026-06-03T11:46:51.153Z","2026-06-03T11:46:52.494Z",1,"novelbin.me","06f88f02d1578455697a00a03906ab53d2f15171159523621d6e1cc3b91ab199","cultivating-in-secret-beside-a-demoness-chapter-2010","cultivating-in-secret-beside-a-demoness-chapter-2008",2139,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcultivating-in-secret-beside-a-demoness-cover.jpg"]
