He wanted to try appraising it but found that it took a lot of time for his divine abilities to take effect in the Abyssal Sea. He didn’t have much time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Archean Abyss Dragon Pearl moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The floating pearl suddenly swayed twice and then started moving toward Jiang Hao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Senior He watched the pearl in terror. He knew that this young man was doomed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, what he feared didn’t happen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pearl did not touch Jiang Hao but stopped in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Senior He was baffled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao was also shocked. He had just witnessed the horror of touching the pearl. If it had touched him, it would have been disastrous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as he gazed at the Dragon Pearl before him, he had a strange feeling that it was inviting him to touch it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao hesitated and extended his hand toward it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Senior He was astonished. Many things flashed through his mind. This young man had just arrived, and right after, the pearl had also appeared. There must be a connection between the two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew that his opportunity to leave this place had come.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, he got up and knelt in front of Jiang Hao. “I am He Youran, and I apologize for my earlier behavior, Senior. Please forgive me. I promise to serve you from here on out even at the expense of my life.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao glanced at Senior He but did not respond. Instead, he focused his attention on the pearl. As he reached out to touch it, the pearl moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It allowed Jiang Hao to touch it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, the sound of a dragon’s roar emerged from the Archean Abyss Dragon Pearl. The voice was faint yet clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A blue light radiated from the pearl, and a phantom of a True Dragon appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a small blue dragon that opened its azure eyes and gazed at Jiang Hao. Then, it transformed into a vast dragon and circled around the man before swimming away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its power resonated with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, Jiang Hao felt his strength returning, and he even gained control over the pearl’s power. It was an unimaginable force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked up. He knew that he could escape this place any time he wished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Senior, please, take me with you. I’m willing to do everything. I’ll remain loyal to you for the rest of my life,” said Senior He pleadingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao looked at him in doubt but remained silent. Instead, he leaped up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rocks shattered as he shot into the sky. A magnificent dragon’s roar echoed in all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, Jiang Hao felt like he was invincible. He was willing to be a\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>champion for the world and even dared to contend with the heavens and the earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the intensity of power granted by the pearl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly restrained his thoughts and focused on getting out of this place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, he felt like a sharp blade forcibly cleaving open the sky of the Abyssal Sea. The powerful impact made the surrounding seawater halt, and the starry river began to flow backward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside, Hong Yuye had been watching the Abyssal Sea attentively while keeping the golden ring activated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked calm and indifferent, but her gaze never left the Abyssal Sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t clear what she was thinking about. She was not known for expressing her emotions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The battle of the Heavenly Kings did not affect her in the least.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Tao also did not pay attention to the Heavenly Kings. Instead, he watched the Abyssal Sea and the Heart of the Ancestral Dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the earlier outburst of light, the Heart of the Ancestral Dragon had quietened down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he sensed a change as if it was preparing for a confrontation with something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Abyssal Sea, on the other hand, remained motionless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. Tao, is Smiling San Sheng dead?” Tang Ya suddenly asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Tao shook his head. “That’s unlikely. I know a bit about the origin of Smiling San Sheng. If he were that easy to kill, he wouldn’t be the person he is today.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why?” Tang Ya was puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s hard to explain,” Mr. Tao said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could only wait quietly for further developments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Mr. Tao lowered his head to look at the sea beneath them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is not right.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s wrong?” Tang Ya asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Retreat! Something is about to happen in the Abyssal Sea.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?” Tang Ya was puzzled but followed him as they moved backward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Look at the seawater,” Mr. Tao said as they retreated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s wrong with the seawater? Can you please explain properly, Mr. Tao?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Ya asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It has stopped flowing,” Mr. Tao said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Ya finally noticed it. The waves had disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, she looked toward the sea farther from the Abyssal Sea. That area appeared normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even the True Dragons are getting agitated,” Mr. Tao said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Ya felt uneasy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, they were retreating quickly. But while Tang Ya was feeling relieved, a beam of light suddenly shone from behind her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A blue light beam extended in all directions and shot into the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately afterward, the sound of a dragon’s roar pierced the heavens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Roar!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dragon’s roar echoed in all directions and caused the seawater to flow backward and shatter the starry sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Tao and Tang Ya quickly retreated while defending themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The formidable force affected everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The eighteen True Dragons began to roar as well as if they were confronting something that had caused such a disturbance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the roars from the eighteen True Dragons were nothing compared to the reverberating roar from the Abyssal Sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The changes compelled the Heavenly Kings to stop their battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They all looked at the source of the blue light and knew that something related to the Dragon Clan had appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once it came out, the Ancestral Dragon’s Heart might change hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They exchanged worried glances and joined forces to suppress whatever force it was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the Abyssal Sea could weaken the force, it would weaken whatever creature was coming out. There was still a chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, several powers descended from the sky. They were intent on suppressing the entity within the Abyssal Sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hong Yuye glanced upward. She seemed as though she was about to raise her hand. At the last moment, she sensed something and withdrew her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A massive dragon head emerged from the Abyssal Sea and roared in fury. Its roar reverberated through the heavens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Terrifying power swept across the world and shattered all layers of suppression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Heavenly Kings were all shaken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, there were footsteps. A figure slowly materialized within the power storm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He emerged from the Abyssal Sea and was stepping on the dragon’s scales.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stood in midair above the Abyssal Sea and looked ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Tao looked at the Abyssal Sea in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a scholarly-looking man stood with his hands behind his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was unaffected by the Abyssal Sea, and the powerful storms couldn’t approach him because a True Dragon surrounded him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A True Dragon protected him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Roar!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dragon roared. It was provoked by the eighteen True Dragons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao raised his eyebrows and glanced at them. The eighteen True Dragons all bowed their heads in submission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ancestral Dragon’s Heart was still struggling and unwilling to submit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao didn’t care. He hadn’t paid any attention to it or those fighting for it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, he looked at Hong Yuye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He approached her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he moved, everyone became vigilant and stood ready to attack. However, Jiang Hao had no intention to do anything. He just wanted to reach out to Hong Yuye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, Hong Yuye walked step by step toward Jiang Hao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they drew near to each other, Jiang Hao extended his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hong Yuye also reached out and took his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao turned around and walked alongside her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, they both disappeared from their spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they vanished, the phantom of the True Dragon disappeared, and the blue light dispersed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sea returned to its normal state, and the starry sky reappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Abyssal Sea returned to its dim and void state. Everyone looked at this transformation as if it were a dream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. Tao, am I dreaming?” Tang Ya asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Was this his goal?” Mr. Tao muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even now, he couldn’t guess what the person had been up to..\u003C\u002Fp>",1477,"2026-06-03T11:46:01.208Z","2026-06-03T11:46:08.666Z",1,"novelbin.me","e00397d167bc35c159159bea5dead8f7484a0036341f7958d305dcfefafda8e0","cultivating-in-secret-beside-a-demoness-chapter-656","cultivating-in-secret-beside-a-demoness-chapter-654",2139,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcultivating-in-secret-beside-a-demoness-cover.jpg"]
