Chapter 943: You Want To Be A Top Disciple?  

Jiang Hao didn’t know whether Gu Changsheng was real or not.

However, based on speculations, it was most likely not the real Gu Changsheng.

He was a combination of the Hundred Nights Curse and the Longevity Curse.

Such an existence was fatal to the world.

It was a cursed tree, after all. It was self-evident what kind of impact it would have on the earth if it took root.

No one had survived to compare it to Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl to see which one was more dangerous.

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.

Everyone was justifiably terrified of such a power. However, he was already handling the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl, so he didn’t care much.

He couldn’t use curses against a person who possessed the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl, but there were countless other ways to kill.

Gu Changsheng was too dangerous.

If he didn’t have any connection to Gu Jin, perhaps he wouldn’t have to care.

Sighing, Jiang Hao stopped thinking about it.

After suppressing him, he would have more time.

He could convince the other party to go to the Blood Pool to find Gu Jin.

There would be a day when they would let go of their grudges.

“What’s your cultivation realm now?” Hong Yuye asked as she sipped her tea.

“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.”

“Are you forty now?” Hong Yuye asked.

“Yes.” Jiang Hao nodded.

“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?”

“Many people… Many seniors are far better than me,” said Jiang Hao.

Junior Brother Han was about the same as him. The other True Disciples might be even stronger.

The True Disciples were young and full of potential.

Every single one of them had killed their way up.

“Do you have any thoughts of becoming a top disciple?” asked Hong Yuye.

“It is every disciple’s wish to make a name for themselves in the sect,” said Jiang Hao.

Hong Yuye looked at Jiang Hao and didn’t speak for a long time. “The top disciples are indeed impressive,” said Hong Yuye and chuckled. “When do you plan to compete?”

“When my cultivation realm is sufficient,” said Jiang Hao.

In one or two years, Junior Brother Han might be able to advance to the late stage of the Golden Core Realm. 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.

He would be inches away from reaching the Primordial Spirit Realm.

When Junior Brother Han reached the late stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm, he would be able to challenge the tenth-ranked top disciples.

Since Junior Brother Han had the Mountain River Sword Embryo, his future was limitless.

Hong Yuye didn’t ask any more questions. “When the Dragon Cave appears, you have to be prepared to enter.”

Jiang Hao nodded. He hesitated. “Do you have any advice regarding the Dragon Pearl, Senior?”

Hong Yuye glanced at him and didn’t say anything.

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Hao decided to wait and see.

If it was safe, he might take Xiao Li there. If not, he wouldn’t.

The Nine Nether would stay with Xiao Li, just in case.

After that, Hong Yuye left. Jiang Hao heaved a sigh of relief.

He began to study the nameless manual.

He was going out, so he needed to improve himself as much as possible.

At that moment, the spirit beast wailed. Jiang Hao ignored it.

As time passed, the number of people in the sect increased.

Some had recovered from their injuries, while others had come out of seclusion.

The number of people in the Spirit Herb Garden also increased.

Jiang Hao was teaching everyone cultivation again.

It benefited some Lifeblood Refinement and the Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators.

However, his main target was Cheng Chou. He explained only the things that would help him.

Some of his juniors with higher cultivation realms asked for more explanation, but Jiang Hao shook his head.

They felt a little disappointed, but they didn’t say anything.

Many people left a portion of their blood as payment.

It was as if it was a transaction.

Now, everyone knew that Jiang Hao was no longer hiding the fact that he practiced the Blood Wish Path.

Some people found it hard to believe, while others felt that it was a pity.

Some people felt smug because they already knew about it.

It was as if they could see that he would be the next Qian Chen.

Jiang Hao sealed the blood and placed it in a special storage treasure.

Perhaps one day, this blood would be able to help him.

Four months later, around mid-November, Jiang Hao’s spirit stones decreased by a lot.

He stood in the courtyard and looked at the peach tree with a sigh. There weren’t many peaches left on the tree.

He was about to spend more than 50,000 spirit stones to achieve another incarnation.

The first batch of harvest would arrive at the Spiritual Herb Garden.

There would be one today.

However, before he went over, he wanted to see how many points he still needed.

[Lifeblood: 88/100 (can be cultivated)]

[Cultivation: 90/100 (can be cultivated)]

He needed twenty-two points.

He was a little worried that there would be more than two hundred bubbles this time.

It would be a waste if he used them all to advance.

The first batch would give him twenty-six, and the second might give him thirty.

He was worried.

Jiang Hao took a deep breath and headed toward the Spirit Herb Garden with the spirit beast.

“Master, when do you think we should confirm the candidacy for the would-be Mistress?” The spirit beast walked along the river.

Jiang Hao glanced at it and continued walking forward.

“The Senior Sister Xiao Li keeps talking about… Are you serious about her?” asked the spirit beast. “Does she like spirit beasts?”

“I don’t know,” Jiang Hao said.

“Master, I found someone who likes animals. Do you want to meet her?” the spirit beast asked.

Jiang Hao ignored it.

It was useless even if he found someone like that.

He wasn’t a person with a steady life. Even if he hadn’t met Hong Yuye, he wouldn’t have considered it.

He struggled to survive among the strong. Why would he drag anyone to do that with him?

After a while, Jiang Hao arrived at the Spirit Herb Garden and saw rows of blue bubbles. He was relieved.

He was not in a hurry to go over to absorb the bubbles. He counted them carefully.

There were a total of twenty-five bubbles.

He approached carefully.

When twenty-two bubbles merged into his body, his cultivation and lifeblood points reached a hundred.

The three bubbles were extra, and he didn’t want to waste it.

‘I wonder if it will disappear tomorrow.’

He rarely got so many bubbles, so he was reluctant to see if it would still be there tomorrow.

But he had no choice.

After taking care of the spirit herbs, Jiang Hao returned to his courtyard.

Without hesitation, he decided to advance to the next stage.
