Chapter 888: Demoness: If I Want to Borrow Your Gaze, Will You Allow It?

‘How do I look in her eyes?

Jiang Hao’s heart raced, but he quickly realized that he had misunderstood her.

It wasn’t about what kind of person he was in the other person’s eyes, but rather how Hong Yuye felt about what he had cultivated. In her eyes, his current state was different from usual.

After hesitating for a moment, he asked, “Is there something different about

He had only been cultivating the Reversal of the Great Thousand Spirit lately. Was there an issue with that?

“Let’s start with what you’ve been cultivating.” Hong Yuye gestured for Jiang Hao to sit across from her.

He sat down. From the fragrance, he could tell that it was Red Azure tea.

“I’ve been cultivating the Reversal of the Great Thousand Spirit, ” said Jiang Hao truthfully and handed her the book he had gotten from Hai Luo.

Hong Yuye flipped through it and asked, “How much time did you spend cultivating this?”

“It took quite some time,” Jiang Hao said.

Hong Yuye raised her eyebrows and looked at him.

After a while, Hong Yuye placed the book on the table. “Indeed, this can allow one to see the spiritual traces of the Great Thousand God Sect. But have you ever thought that you will leave some traces as well?” Hong Yuye looked at Jiang Hao. “The Heavenly King has no fear because his cultivation realm is sufficient, and his spirit is refined. He also has the Heavenly King’s Fortune. But you are only at the Golden Core Realm. You might leave quite a bit of traces behind.”

“But I haven’t noticed anything,” Jiang Hao said.

“Do you feel that you’re in danger?” Hong Yuye asked.

“The sect is quite safe, but it’s always good to be cautious,” Jiang Hao said truthfully.

Hong Yuye nodded. “You never let down your vigilance, which has made you fall into a blind spot.”

Seeing Jiang Hao’s confusion, Hong Yuye said, “Let go of everything and let yourself completely calm down. In so many years, have you truly found peace?” ‘Peace?’ Jiang Hao was surprised.

He thought he had lived peacefully. However, what exactly was true peace?

The world was inherently dangerous. Was peace a place with few dangers, or was it letting go of all defenses?

If it was the former, he had experienced peace, but if it was the latter…

Completely letting go of all defenses was something he could never achieve. He was always on guard.

Hong Yuye was challenging him to let go of all defenses. He would never be able to completely relax.

“Without complete peace, you won’t see your true self,” she said. “Are you afraid of me?

“I… No,” said Jiang Hao. “I respect you, Senior.” “What’s your cultivation realm?” she asked. “Late stage of the Golden Core Realm.” “What do you think my cultivation realm is?”

“Maybe beyond the Immortal Ascension Platform…”

“Would it be possible for someone in my realm to kill someone at the Golden

Core Realm?”

“It would be as easy as a flick of a finger.”

“Then, if I really wanted to kill you, would I go through all the trouble of making you lower your guard?”

Jiang Hao lowered his head.

That was true. If she wanted to kill him, she wouldn’t bother making him lower his defenses. However, it was natural for him to be wary. He couldn’t just lower all his defenses. He wanted to do as best as he could to survive.

Even if she wasn’t present, he wouldn’t be able to let his guard down.

After a moment of silence, Hong Yuye smiled. “So? Do you want to see yourself through my eyes?”

Jiang Hao hesitated and then nodded.

Hong Yuye reached out and Jiang Hao placed his hands in hers.

“Close your eyes and resonate your energy to the palm imprint on your chest,” said Hong Yuye.

Jiang Hao nodded and then activated his spiritual energy.

His eyes were tightly closed. He appeared calm, but some spiritual fluctuations occurred around him. It was not as calm as it appeared. His spirit was striking as if it expanded outward for some unknown reason.

Although restrained, it was not as smooth as it should be. There were crinkles in the corner of his aura that couldn’t blend in completely.

It seemed to be caused by improper use of the spiritual aspects.

At that moment, the warmth in his chest disappeared, and the image vanished.

When he opened his eyes, he realized that was how she saw him.

However, something seemed strange. It appeared that the vision was not complete. He could only see the spiritual part. Hong Yuye withdrew her hand. “Did you see it?”

“Yes. Thank you, senior.” Jiang Hao nodded.

In the past, he had no idea that there were spiritual traces in his body.

He realized that cultivating the Reversal of the Great Thousand Spirit was not as easy as he had imagined. There were drawbacks to it.

If he encountered a powerful practitioner from the Great Thousand God Sect, they would easily notice him. However, he wasn’t sure how to find a solution to this.

Hong Yuye smiled. “How do you want to thank me for that?”

Jiang Hao was stunned.

“What do you want me to do for you, Senior?” Jiang Hao asked cautiously.

“Come here.” Hong Yuye beckoned.

Jiang Hao got up and walked over to her in confusion.

Hong Yuye placed her hand on his chest and activated the palm imprint. A sharp pain surged through Jiang Hao’s body. At the same time, he felt a vast power.

He was blasted away.

Thud!

Jiang Hao collided with the wall.

It hurt a bit.

Hong Yuye smiled. “Consider that as a thank-you gift.”

Jiang Hao stood up and nodded.

He couldn’t understand whether getting blasted away was the “thank-you gift” or the palm imprint.

However, it was the first time he had seen himself through someone else’s vision.

“How much can your gaze see?” Hong Yuye asked while sipping tea.

“Not much,” said Jiang Hao.

“Not even with the Heaven Lock Technique?” she asked.

“It reveals some of the hidden things, but I can’t see much even with it,” Jiang Hao said.

“If one day I want to borrow your Heaven Lock Technique to see something, will you agree to it?” Hong Yuye asked.

Jiang Hao was surprised. If he was right, one needed to have the palm imprint to borrow the other person’s vision. That meant the person doing the borrowing must have the palm imprint on their body.

Jiang Hao tried not to think about what that might mean.

“What are you thinking about?” Hong Yuye suddenly asked.

“Nothing,” Jiang Hao hurriedly said. “I was just thinking about what you asked.

I would definitely assist you as best as I can.”

“Would you lend me all your strength?” Hong Yuye asked.

“Yes.” Jiang Hao nodded.

Hong Yuye looked at Jiang Hao closely. He didn’t know what she might be thinking..
