Chapter 661: Meeting Hai Ming and Offering Him A Fruit

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

On the continent beneath the stars, Xu Bai stood in front of the Burning Immortal Formation, neither entering it nor letting others do so.

He simply waited. No one knew what he was waiting for. Many people approached him, but they couldn’t make him interested in other places. It seemed that as long as they informed him of everyone’s finds, it was enough.

On this day, while MO Chuan and others were still exploring a new area following the blue-robed senior, they discovered a secret chamber and some documents.

While some were searching for other things, MO Chuan began to read the documents. At first, there was nothing special, but the more he read, the more alarmed he became.

“What’s wrong?” asked the blue-robed senior.

“Senior Sister, take a look at this, and this!” MO Chuan exclaimed.

The blue-robed senior took the books with doubt. At first, she felt nothing, but the more she read, the more alarmed she became. She felt as though she had narrowly escaped death.

“It’s a trap. If we had entered at that time, then…”

When she thought of that, her hands trembled.

The content of the documents was extensive, but it all boiled down to one thing: the statement about being able to control the Burning Immortal Formation was fake. It was a trap left for them. Once the formation was activated, the Heavenly Fire would burn all life.

Even immortals wouldn’t be able to resist. Everything would be incinerated, and a catastrophe would unfold.

They had almost entered the Burning Immortal Formation and almost activated it. The horrifying nature of the revelation made it hard for them to stay calm.

They exchanged glances and quickly left to find Xu Bi.

A little while later, Xu Bi saw the books. “I expected this. You don’t need to worry.”

“Senior Brother, did you already know?” MO Chuan couldn’t believe it.

“Why didn’t you mention it, Junior Brother Xu?” asked the blue-robed senior. Xu Bi smiled. “Don’t you already know why, Junior Brother and Senior Sister?” The blue-robed senior felt ashamed.

They knew that if Xu Bi had mentioned it at that time, they might not have entirely believed him either. They would have believed the documents they found and then would have argued with him.

Their admiration for Xu Bi grew even more.

“By the way, the documents mention the Xuanyuan Sword,” MO Chuan said as he looked at the books. “It seems to contain an accurate burial location.” “Where is it?” Xu Bi asked curiously.

“On the Sun Moon Peak.” MO Chuan frowned slightly. “There’s only a name and nothing else. It’ll be hard to find.”

“It’s in the Blackheaven Sect,” Xu Bi said. “I’ve been there. They have a Sun Moon Peak, and the Xuanyuan Clan is also there. They probably don’t know about the Xuanyuan Sword.”

The Xuanyuan Clan had already lost its inheritance, so it wasn’t surprising that they didn’t know about it.

“Want to go check it out?” MO Chuan asked curiously.

Xu Bi shook his head. They couldn’t leave. Even if they could, there was no need to take the Xuanyuan Sword by force.

Since the Grand Earth Emperor was about to appear, they could leave the sword for him. If someone else tried to take it, they could take it to the Bright Moon Sect.

The Clear School Sky might also get involved.

After all, that sword was wielded by the Human Emperor back in the day. They would definitely be interested.

Although there were not many records, they all indicated one thing: the Human Emperor had suppressed everything to ensure the survival of the human race.

Jiang Hao slowly opened his eyes. His current spiritual powers had been reset to zero, but he had indeed obtained a new ability.

Without much thought, he checked his interface.

[Divine Ability: Nine Revolutions Death Substitution (unique), Daily Appraisal,

Clear and Pure Heart, Reappearance of Hidden Spirit, Divine Might, Revival of Withered Tree, Heavenly Cauldron, Indestructible Vajra]

“Indestructible Vajra?”

Although the name of the ability was interesting, it was unlikely to be genuinely unbreakable. Looking at it now, his body didn’t change much. He decided to try using the ability and see what happened after activating it.

In an instant, Jiang Hao felt his blood, flesh, and bones changing within his body. Faint golden light emanated from him, although there was no significant change.

However, there was a massive transformation inside his body. He took out his Heavenly Blade and swung it.

Clang!

Firelight appeared, but his arm didn’t sustain any damage. With the assistance of his Return to Void power, he swung the blade, and it didn’t have much effect either.

He clenched his fist and felt the increase in strength. His speed should have been enhanced as well.

“Now, I practically have no weaknesses.”

Jiang Hao was quite satisfied with this new ability. It made him feel significantly safer.

It also provided more attack methods. Although not as powerful as the Heavenly Blade, it only required lifeblood and not cultivation.

‘I feel stronger. I want to test it on someone.’ Jiang Hao shook his head and sighed. ‘I’m getting ahead of myself.’

Even if his mental state had improved, this showed how quickly his strength had increased beyond the scope of his mental resilience.

Putting away the ability, Jiang Hao thought about where he should test it. He decided to look for Hai Ming.

‘He used to keep an eye on me, but now he’s nowhere to be seen.’

With that in mind. Tiang Hao took out the Thousand Faces Treasure Fan.

Of course, he also had a fruit in his hand.

It was the Tranquil Heart Fruit.

At the Flowing Waterfall, Hai Ming was instructing some disciples.

“You’ve done very well, everyone. Just go back and practice more. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me.”

“Thank you, Senior.”

All the disciples bowed.

After the disciples left, Hai Ming’s face darkened. He looked toward the distant woods. “Since you’ve arrived, why don’t you come out for a chat? Is hiding from the world a habit you can’t break, my friend?”

“Hiding from the world? How could it be?” said a voice and startled Hai Ming. “Hai Ming, you didn’t notice I was already behind you? It seems you’ve grown old.’

Hai Ming remained calm and turned to look at the newcomer. It was a weak-looking scholar holding a folding fan.

On the fan, the words, “Smiling San Sheng,” flashed.

The scholar looked at Hai Ming with a friendly smile, as if they were old friends who hadn’t seen each other in years.

“Who are you, friend?” Hai Ming asked.

“You’re quite the actor,” Jiang Hao said with a smile. “I’ve come to catch up with you and share some things along the way.”

“I’m not sure what you mean, friend, but if you want to share something, I don’t mind,” Hai Ming said.

“Calling someone like me ‘friend’ doesn’t sound right. How can you call me a ‘friend’?” Jiang Hao looked at him with a big smile. “You should call me ‘old man’ instead.”

Hai Ming looked at Jiang Hao in indifference.

“Not funny?” Jiang Hao stopped and then took out a Tranquil Heart Fruit. “These are fruits I bought overseas. They are supposedly quite good. Would you like one?”

Hai Ming sneered. “Enjoy it yourself.”

“In that case, I won’t hold back.” Jiang Hao took a bite of the fruit. “The taste is just okay. By the way, I forgot to tell you that I picked all the fruit from this tree. I also brought the tree back with me.. Don’t you want to give it a try?”
