Chapter 955: Ascending To Immortality

Shangguan Qingsu looked at the person seated above. She was not afraid.

She had prepared for this for a very long time.

To fulfill the conditions of Smiling San Sheng, she had tried her best.

She stated the conditions for the Shangguan Clan to get along with Smiling San Sheng. It was almost equivalent to death for them.

Even if they survived, there was no hope for them. The Shangguan Clan would definitely refuse the deal.

But they had waited for this opportunity for countless years.

If they missed it, it would be as good as death.

She had to convince them somehow.

At least, they would be free of the curse and could decide when to end the cooperation in the future.

After some thought, the Shangguan Clan agreed to Smiling San Sheng’s terms.

They had no other choice.

Shangguan Qingsu had successfully completed her task.

“I wonder if Smiling San Sheng will be happy with this.” Shangguan Qingsu was a little worried.

She did her best. But if he wasn’t happy with it, he would just turn around and leave.

In the end, the Shangguan Clan would still have to nod their heads and go along with him.

She was waiting for Smiling San Sheng to come and tell her the details.

It would be best if he was happy with the arrangement. If he wasn’t, then it would be an entirely other problem, and the Shangguan Clan would find out that they weren’t as valuable as they thought they were.

They had no other choice.

Shangguan Qingsu returned to her house.

She had placed the ring in the secret room.

The magic treasure had been activated, but no matter what she did, he could not communicate with it.

She had no choice but to wait.

Shangguan Qingsu was a little anxious.

She wasn’t sure if Smiling San Sheng could see or hear her. If he didn’t contact her, it might mean he didn’t agree with the deal.

She was a little worried.

She sighed wearily and decided to wait a bit longer.

In the South, Jiang Hao was taking care of the spirit herbs in the Heavenly Note Sect.

Although Shangguan Qingsu had already arrived overseas, her negotiation could take some time.

His request had been excessive, to say the least. The Shangguan Clan would try to negotiate the terms.

In this process, they had to weigh the pros and cons. It would take a long time for the clan to settle this matter.

Therefore, it might take a few months more to reach the end of the deal.

However, he had to get there before the curse took effect.

That way, they would see how useful he was and would have an easier time accepting his terms.

The pain of the curse might remind them why the deal was worth agreeing to.

Jiang Hao would have to be there before the end of April.

The spirit herb seeds would start to bloom in two months, so there was still time.

He planned to visit the Lawless Tower before heading overseas.

The lantern-bearer knew about the Great Thousand God Sect’s plan, so he wanted to see if anything more would happen.

At the Lawless Tower, when Jiang Hao arrived, he discovered that they were preparing for something.

“Junior Brother Jiang, you didn’t receive the news?” Yinsha smiled at him in confusion.

“What?” Jiang Hao was puzzled.

“The Astronomical Academy of the West has obtained a Wordless Heavenly Book and has invited all the sects to check it out. Our sect is also among them. They are preparing to send someone over. The Lawless Tower will also send someone,” Yinsha said.

‘Wordless Heavenly Book?’ Jiang Hao hadn’t received any news like that.

However, he suddenly thought of someone.

Man Gu…

His wife and son were in the Astronomical Academy.

“The people going there… will they all be seniors of the tower?” Jiang Hao asked.

“The list was drawn up by Sect Master Baizhi. There are all kinds of people on it. Speaking of which, Man Gu is one of them. Although his cultivation realm is recovering, he is still a little weak. However, he is familiar with the West. He was from there originally, so he is being sent with the group,” said Yinsha.

Jiang Hao nodded.

“He’s from the Great Thousand God Sect,” he said. “Will he be targeted?”

Senior Sister Yinsha smiled but didn’t say anything. She only said that it was confidential, and she couldn’t say anything about it.

Jiang Hao understood what she was saying. They were trying to use him as bait.

It was expected of the Heavenly Note Sect.

He just didn’t know if Man Gu would be willing to do it.

He saw that man Gu was busy.

Man Gu saw Jiang Hao and bowed gratefully.

At that moment, he seemed to be more eager than ever.

‘It seems that he is finally happy.’ Jiang Hao thought.

No one knew what the Wordless Heavenly Book of the West was.

Jiang Hao wouldn’t go anyway.

As for the details, he could wait for the sect to inform him or ask Zhang at the gathering.

The people on the fifth floor were the same as always.

There was Zhuang Yuzhen, Heavenly King Hai Luo, Mi Lingyue, the lantern bearer, and Old Man Corpse Sea.

Old Man Corpse Sea had recovered a lot, and he was curious about Jiang Hao.

This was the person with the lowest cultivation realm among all the people he had seen who could enter and leave freely.

Moreover, he was from the others.

Everyone was very quiet.

“Junior Brother Jiang?” said the lantern bearer.

“Yes, it’s me. How are you fitting in, Senior?” Jiang Hao asked.

“I’m used to it. I have to say that this place is really amazing.” The lantern bearer smiled. “Junior Brother Jiang, did you come with a mission this time? Are you going to interrogate me?”

“No.” Jiang Hao shook his head.

The sect had already caught the person related to Feng Hua, so they were not in a hurry to get more information.

However, he wasn’t sure where Bing Qing was.

She seemed to have been sent to the mines.

He could go and check it out later. After all, she had become friends with the spirit beast.

“Have you been overseas recently? If you do, remember to stay away from the Dragon Cave,” said the lantern bearer. “The Great Thousand God Sect’s plan includes many things. Those who know it might not be watching.”

“The Great Thousand God Sect has been planning this for a long time, right?” Mi Lingyue asked.

“Yes, and very few people know about it. It will be difficult for people to escape. After all, that is the real Dragon Cave. Many people are confident it’ll work. Many people will enter the Dragon Cave even though it’s a trap,” said the lantern bearer.

“The Great Thousand God Sect doesn’t fear other major powers fighting them?” Mi Lingyue asked.

“It’ll be a long time before people realize it’s a trap. When there are benefits, people tend to betray each other. They might cooperate with that sect for the benefits.”

“The Great Thousand God Sect is very smart. They will definitely find someone else to enter and become the center of attention. Maybe The End of All Things… As long as the cave has something harmful to end all humanity, The End of All Things will agree with them.”

Jiang Hao walked to Zhuang Yuzhen and handed him some wine and beef jerky.

He had to be extremely careful if he went to the Dragon Cave.

He hoped that he could advance before entering it.

He would then be able to protect himself.
