It was self-evident what kind of impact it would have on the earth if it took root.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one had survived to compare it to Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl to see which one was more dangerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ordinary curses were afraid of the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl, but the Longevity Cursed Tree was not just a tree. It was also a person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was justifiably terrified of such a power. However, he was already handling the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl, so he didn’t care much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t use curses against a person who possessed the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl, but there were countless other ways to kill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Changsheng was too dangerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he didn’t have any connection to Gu Jin, perhaps he wouldn’t have to care.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sighing, Jiang Hao stopped thinking about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After suppressing him, he would have more time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could convince the other party to go to the Blood Pool to find Gu Jin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There would be a day when they would let go of their grudges.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s your cultivation realm now?” Hong Yuye asked as she sipped her tea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Late stage of the Golden Core Realm,” said Jiang Hao. “I think I might be able to break through to the peak of the Golden Core Realm in a year or two.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you forty now?” Hong Yuye asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes.” Jiang Hao nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Peak of Golden Core Realm at forty… That’s impressive,” said Hong Yuye. “How many people do you think in the Heavenly Note Sect can advance faster than you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Many people… Many seniors are far better than me,” said Jiang Hao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Junior Brother Han was about the same as him. The other True Disciples might be even stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The True Disciples were young and full of potential.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every single one of them had killed their way up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you have any thoughts of becoming a top disciple?” asked Hong Yuye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It is every disciple’s wish to make a name for themselves in the sect,” said Jiang Hao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hong Yuye looked at Jiang Hao and didn’t speak for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The top disciples are indeed impressive,” said Hong Yuye and chuckled. “When do you plan to compete?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When my cultivation realm is sufficient,” said Jiang Hao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In one or two years, Junior Brother Han might be able to advance to the late stage of the Golden Core Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had only been a few years since he had challenged him. At that time, he would advance to the peak of the Golden Core Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would be inches away from reaching the Primordial Spirit Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Junior Brother Han reached the late stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm, he would be able to challenge the tenth-ranked top disciples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Junior Brother Han had the Mountain River Sword Embryo, his future was limitless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hong Yuye didn’t ask any more questions. “When the Dragon Cave appears, you have to be prepared to enter.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao nodded.

If not, he wouldn’t.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Nine Nether would stay with Xiao Li, just in case.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, Hong Yuye left. Jiang Hao heaved a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He began to study the nameless manual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was going out, so he needed to improve himself as much as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the spirit beast wailed. Jiang Hao ignored it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As time passed, the number of people in the sect increased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some had recovered from their injuries, while others had come out of seclusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The number of people in the Spirit Herb Garden also increased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao was teaching everyone cultivation again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It benefited some Lifeblood Refinement and the Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, his main target was Cheng Chou. He explained only the things that would help him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some of his juniors with higher cultivation realms asked for more explanation, but Jiang Hao shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They felt a little disappointed, but they didn’t say anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many people left a portion of their blood as payment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if it was a transaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, everyone knew that Jiang Hao was no longer hiding the fact that he practiced the Blood Wish Path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some people found it hard to believe, while others felt that it was a pity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some people felt smug because they already knew about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if they could see that he would be the next Qian Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao sealed the blood and placed it in a special storage treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps one day, this blood would be able to help him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Four months later, around mid-November, Jiang Hao’s spirit stones decreased by a lot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stood in the courtyard and looked at the peach tree with a sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There weren’t many peaches left on the tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was about to spend more than 50,000 spirit stones to achieve another incarnation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first batch of harvest would arrive at the Spiritual Herb Garden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There would be one today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, before he went over, he wanted to see how many points he still needed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Lifeblood: 88\u002F100 (can be cultivated)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Cultivation: 90\u002F100 (can be cultivated)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He needed twenty-two points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was a little worried that there would be more than two hundred bubbles this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would be a waste if he used them all to advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first batch would give him twenty-six, and the second might give him thirty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was worried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao took a deep breath and headed toward the Spirit Herb Garden with the spirit beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master, when do you think we should confirm the candidacy for the would-be Mistress?” The spirit beast walked along the river.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao glanced at it and continued walking forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Senior Sister Xiao Li keeps talking about… Are you serious about her?” asked the spirit beast. “Does she like spirit beasts?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t know,” Jiang Hao said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master, I found someone who likes animals. Do you want to meet her?” the spirit beast asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao ignored it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was useless even if he found someone like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t a person with a steady life. Even if he hadn’t met Hong Yuye, he wouldn’t have considered it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He struggled to survive among the strong. Why would he drag anyone to do that with him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a while, Jiang Hao arrived at the Spirit Herb Garden and saw rows of blue bubbles. He was relieved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was not in a hurry to go over to absorb the bubbles.
