Chapter 762: Speculations
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
He had asked for information about the Corpse Realm in the previous gathering.
Although many things could be obtained from Zhuang Yuzhen, it was just one side of the story, after all.
His information was limited to the North, while Senior Dan Yuan’s information was much clearer.
The thing with Zhuang Yuzhen was that nobody could persuade him to disclose information he knew.
After a brief look, he discovered that some were speculations from various departments, while others described internal situations.
But nothing seemed too striking, except for the end, which seemed to be about finding a person.
He memorized all the text.
Later, he recalled it from memory after leaving.
This time, Senior Dan Yuan didn’t mention any related tasks. The task was still about the Sage’s Page.
No one had the intention to search for more during this time, so there was no need to ask further.
After that was the trading phase.
Zhang said, “I have already found the rough location of the Moon Wheel and released the information.”
This task was from Xing.
Xing nodded. “The Sea Moon Map will be sent to you as per your request.”
“Have any of you found any information about the book thief I mentioned earlier?” Zhang asked.
Others shook their heads.
Jiang Hao lowered his head and hesitated.
There was no need for anyone from the West to do anything at the moment. Thus, he didn’t need to get involved.
He would wait until he needed something.
“I have a small matter as well, ” said Gui as she looked at Jing. “Is it very difficult to save Yin Zichen?”
Only Jing could answer this question. Everyone knew Jing had recently been to that place.
Hao remained silent for a moment. “He was caught by mistake.”
Gui was speechless. But she got her answer. It was possible to reclaim Yin Zichen after all.
She then asked Jing what he needed in exchange.
To this, Jiang Hao only asked about Yan Shang’s recent situation.
Gui informed him that Yan Shang had been living her life as usual, without any changes.
This surprised Jiang Hao a bit. He hadn’t expected Feng Hua to remain so calm.
However, he didn’t mind. There was no need to provoke the other person.
Although he was curious, he just nodded and didn’t say anything.
After that, no one had any tasks or questions. Everyone had been too caught up in the matter of the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl recently.
Upon learning that the pearl was with Jing, they breathed a sigh of relief.
“The End Of All Things disappeared. It is said that someone annihilated them, and it seems like everything they had was taken away,” Gui said. ‘What things?’ Jiang Hao suddenly thought of the Earth Extreme Heart Devouring Pearl.
The End of All Things was using that to locate the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl.
“It’s the work of the people from the four great immortal sects. Some of them will be wandering outside, ” Xing said.
“It is no wonder the southern region has been so quiet lately. Even the Great Thousand God Sect is not as active as it used to be,” Gui said.
Jiang Hao listened quietly. He didn’t know that The End of All Things was annihilated in the South, nor that the Great Thousand God Sect had gone quiet.
“Someone is in the south,” said Liu.
“The Shangguan family overseas seems to have come to the South to find someone. It is said that they want to find someone who can suppress the curse of their family.”
“The people from the Shangguan family are in the South?” Gui was excited.
Apparently, she was very interested in their curse.
“Do you think their curse could be suppressed or removed?” Liu asked curiously.
Gui thought for a while. “I remember that it is the Hundred Nights curse. It recurs every three months and cannot be avoided. This curse is not an ordinary one. I don’t think I can help with it.” Gui looked at Senior Dan Yuan.
“Senior, is the origin of this curse important?”
Everyone looked at him.
Jiang Hao was also very curious.
He knew who exactly was in the South. It was Shangguan Qingsu, who had betrayed Feng Hua.
He had suppressed her curse before.
So, there was a certain possibility that they were here for him.
As for the Hundred Nights curse, he had no clue.
“The Hundred Nights is not an ordinary curse. It cannot be removed by conventional means because it is connected to an entity behind it. The source is difficult to eliminate,” said Senior Dan Yuan with a smile.
Jiang Hao and others were surprised.
So, that was how it was…
“I heard that the one with the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment Realm is in the West, but no one has found her. Some speculate that the Bright Moon Sect has obscured the trails of the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment cultivator so that powerful people can’t find her,” said Zhang.
Jiang Hao and the others felt that the Bright Moon Sect was so bold because of that. They had released the one with the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment into the world while she was still growing.
After that, they talked about some small matters. Liu specifically mentioned Chi Tian. It seemed he had already been welcomed by Heavenly King Taomu.
It seems like he might rise up the ranks soon.
Jiang Hao couldn’t help but feel surprised. Chi Tian was actually very efficient. Perhaps he was not satisfied with his achievements.
He also felt that Chi Tian might already be plotting against him.
He didn’t care about that. He just needed information.
He needed it because he had to report to Hong Yuye.
It wasn’t yet time to venture out.
He needed to wait until he became stronger.
After the gathering ended, Jiang Hao immediately began to record the information about the Corpse Realm in his notebook.
It took some time, but he finally wrote down everything.
There hadn’t been many things to discuss at the gathering this time.
Everyone didn’t seem particularly interested in the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl now that it was safe.
The one with the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment had special protection, and it wasn’t easy to find her location.
People from the Shangguan family were coming for him. They probably were looking for Smiling San Sheng.
After that, there was nothing else to think about.
The southern region had become much quieter, and many things had come to an end.
Jiang Hao started reviewing the information he had received.
The Corpse Realm was a special realm accidentally discovered by the founder of the Divine Corpse Sect. They paid a huge price to find the way in.
That same year, they perfected the Nine Extremes Corpse Dissecting Method at the top of the Heavenly Stele Mountain and obtained many treasures from there.
To gain a better understanding of the Corpse Realm, the Divine Corpse Sect was founded.
There was no record of the Corpse Realm in any of the classics. To find more information from the Mountain Sea Sword Sect, they used the information of the Corpse Realm as an exchange.
However, there was too little information. To learn more, they went to all the sects in the North, then later to the Clear Sky School and the Bright Moon Sect in the East but were unable to successfully access all the information.
In the West, they paid a huge price and managed to access sufficient information.
At that time, they found a clue.
But no one knew what this clue was.
People only knew that the Corpse Realm concealed something, yet there was not a single record about it.
The founder later entered the Corpse Realm and never came out again.
Jiang Hao looked at the books. These were probably some outside information about the situation.
There wasn’t any clear explanation.
Instead, there were only speculations.
Some said the Corpse Realm was a corner of the great world, while others claimed it was a passage connecting to other worlds.
Furthermore, some speculated that the Corpse Realm was a vast secret realm protected by a huge formation.
There was another assumption suggesting that the Corpse Realm was the cave of a mighty figure, but this mighty figure’s whereabouts were unknown..
