Chapter 903: The Person Leading the Twelve Heavenly Kings to Open the Immortal Path
Jiang Hao looked at the person in front of him.
Gu Jin looked very confused.
Jiang Hao thought for a moment. “I guess none of the people who had the four jade pendants won.”
“None of them?” Gu Jin looked at Jiang Hao in disbelief. “What did you do?”
“You should know, Senior, that I’m in no way that strong,” Jiang Hao said calmly.
“So… what did you do?” Gu Jin asked.
Jiang Hao looked at him. “I just used a simple method to prevent everyone from taking action.”
“Hmm?” Gu Jin looked at Jiang Hao. “I don’t quite understand what you’re saying.”
“The vortex was dispelled,” Jiang Hao said.
Gu Jin nodded and smiled. “So, you mean… your strength was not enough to confront Lou Mantian, so you used a ‘simple method’ to break the vortex?”
Jiang Hao nodded. “You’re correct, Senior. I could never be a match for Lou Mantian.”
Gu Jin looked at Jiang Hao.
He was something else. He flipped the table itself because he didn’t want to fight. It was a simple and straightforward solution to a big problem.
“Can you tell me what your ‘simple method’ was?” Gu Jin asked.
Jiang Hao did not answer his question.
The two pearls on his body should be kept secret even from Gu Jin.
Otherwise, who knows what he would think? If he happened to be with The End of All Things, then he could just use the Blood Pool to make the pearls erupt. That would be the end for all.
He didn’t want to die.
Some people would keep their distance because they were scared of the two devastating pearls, but some others would chase after him relentlessly.
Gu Jin was extraordinary, so it was necessary to be on guard.
Gu Jin didn’t think much about it.
Instead, he asked, “I assume you met people from the academy. How are they?”
Jiang Hao recalled Jing Dajiang. He just nodded.
Then, he talked about the matter of the Dragon’s Nest. He wanted to see how much Gu Jin knew about it.
“Dragon’s Nest?” Gu Jin was surprised. “It’s accessible now? It seems something must have happened there. Did the Sage’s Pages appear there?”
Jiang Hao was surprised. He hadn’t mentioned the matter yet.
In the end, he nodded.
“The Dragon’s Nest is normally inaccessible. But… the Sage’s Pages aren’t ordinary. They like to appear in the most difficult of all places,” said Gu Jin with a sigh. “I’ve been to Dragon’s Nest once before, and it didn’t welcome me. I took something, and they held a grudge against me. I don’t understand what’s the use of guarding it. It’s a waste not to share.”
Jiang Hao was speechless.
Indeed, that was the reason. The Dragon Clan wasn’t extinct. They would be unwilling to share the things that their clan might need.
“Dragon’s Nest is just the former dwelling of the dragons, and the things there are very limited. There are not many records of it either.” Gu Jin thought for a moment. “The final resting place of the Dragon Clan should be overseas.”
“The Abyssal Sea?” Jiang Hao asked.
“I have actually been down to the Abyssal Sea. That is not a place where people can go whenever they want. There are many strange things inside. I didn’t investigate much because I didn’t have time. It’s not entirely unlikely that the Dragon Clan might be down there,” said Gu Jin.
Jiang Hao thought of the recent events of the Dragon Clan and the Heavenly Spirit Tribe.
He looked at Gu Jin and suddenly realized something.
He also attracted such terrifying existences, so there were many troubles in the West. “Can the flowering of the immortal seed be stopped?” Jiang Hao asked.
“It can be stopped temporarily,” Gu Jin said. “Back in the old days, the Human Emperor led people to defeat the Immortal Clan and left behind an artifact that could suppress the clan. That artifact might be failing. We can try to activate the artifact to temporarily suppress the flowering of the immortal seed. I remember the thing being in the Heavenly Spirit Tribe.”
“Heavenly Spirit Tribe?” Jiang Hao suddenly remembered that during the gathering, Gui and Xing were asking for information regarding the Heavenly Spirit Tribe.
Gui probably wouldn’t care, but Xing was likely trying to prevent it.
Liu, who was looking for people from the Great Thousand God Sect, seemed to be doing it for that reason too. He wasn’t sure about it.
But he could ask where the artifact was and how to activate it.
After all, the Fallen Immortal Clan would target him and Xiao Xi, so a little action wouldn’t hurt. It would be good if it could be suppressed for a few more years.
After that, Gu Jin thought about it and finally concluded that the divine object might be somewhere very difficult to reach.
The Saint Bandits might know the details. As for the method of activation, the Heavenly Spirit Tribe and the Xuanyuan Clan might know about it. The Dragon Clan would also know about it.
“Don’t you know about it, Senior?” Jiang Hao asked.
“I don’t.” Gu Jin shrugged. “The era of the Human Emperor has passed, and the era of the Immortal Clan has also passed. During that time, I gave them time, but they could only live in my shadow. While I was alive, I didn’t have a need to stop them.”
‘You are still alive, but it doesn’t seem to matter to you.’ Jiang Hao thought.
“Has this divine object been inactive for many years?” he asked.
“Yes.” Gu Jin nodded.
“Will it be very dirty?” Jiang Hao asked.
“Huh?” Gu Jin was puzzled. “Probably…”
Jiang Hao made a mental note of it.
“By the way, Senior, do you know why the Abyssal Sea flows backward?”
“It’s a sign of the Twelve Heavenly Kings becoming immortals, but they can’t stop it. The entire sea is helping them, but to seize this opportunity, they need a great opportunity. Most likely, they need an outstanding person to lead all twelve of them to the immortal path. This also requires their luck to break through. The fact is, they probably only know that the opportunity is here, but they don’t know they need to find someone yet, and they need all the Heavenly Kings. The Abyssal Sea’s backward flow is the symbol of broken luck, and the sea can sense the changes in the sea area. That’s why it’s flowing backward.”
“Can they succeed?”
“So far, no Heavenly King has succeeded. In this world, where can you find someone who can lead all the Twelve Heavenly Kings on the immortal path? It’s like turning the entire sea into an immortal domain. Even in the Great Era War, their hopes were extremely slim.”
