Zhuang Yuzhen shook his head and sighed.
“On the path of cultivation, once you fall, it’s incredibly difficult to rise again. Because countless eyes are fixed on you. They all want to pounce on you, especially if you underestimate yourself.”
“Senior, do you plan to stay in the Lawless Tower your whole life?” Jiang Hao asked as he took out some wine.
“My whole life?” Zhuang Yuzhen took the wine and drank it. “Is there any meat?”
Jiang Hao took out some jerky he had saved for Xiao Li.
Zhuang Yuzhen suddenly laughed as he ate the meat and drank the wine. “My greatest dream before cultivating was to eat a lot of meat and drink a lot of wine. Unfortunately, I never managed it, even after achieving my cultivation.” “Why not?” Jiang Hao asked.
Zhuang Yuzhen smiled bitterly. “No reason… I just felt it was childish.” Jiang Hao remained silent.
“What about you? What were your wishes when you were young?” Zhuang Yuzhen suddenly asked.
Thinking back to his childhood, Jiang Hao smiled. “Eating a lot of meat.” “Is that all?” Zhuang Yuzhen asked.
“Yeah, that’s it. I really wanted to eat meat and good food back then.”
“Did you finally get to eat everything you wanted?”
“I did.”
Once, Jiang Hao felt his stepmother was unreasonable and mistreated him behind his father’s back.
Now, when he recalled everything, it seemed alright.
After all, he wasn’t her biological child, yet she took care of him since he was born.
He often got scolded, but he did grow up in peace.
Remembering the closed door at home, he sighed in his heart. He couldn’t go back anymore.
Many times, he wished to see them again.
He couldn’t recall his father’s appearance. The last memory of him was when he was sold, which made him feel regretful.
With time that passed, some grievances dissipated.
Jiang Hao wanted to put a perfect end to his childhood.
“Isn’t the Divine Corpse Sect an immortal sect? Can’t you return there?” Jiang Hao asked.
“Even in immortal sects, there are open fights, hidden struggles, and many enemies.” Zhuang Yuzhen sighed. “Moreover, people were always after my status and position in the sect. Now that my cultivation realm is low, why go back to invite trouble? Staying in the tower would be less worrisome.”
“Do you know if the mysterious person who told you about the Heavenly Fragrance Dao flower is powerful?” Jiang Hao asked.
He knew Zhuang Yuzhen wouldn’t provide any details, but getting a general idea was still helpful for him.
Jiang Hao agreed with Zhuang Yuzhen’s decision to stay in the Lawless Tower. The cultivation world was full of dangers, and getting stronger was more for survival than anything else.
Staying put at the tower ensured survival, but it was hard to see any hope there.
Leaving would mean struggle, and the risks were higher. It was a matter of personal choice.
Zhuang Yuzhen chuckled. “Perhaps…”
Jiang Hao smiled but didn’t press further.
“Have you ever encountered the natives in the Corpse Realm speaking?” Zhuang Yuzhen asked.
Jiang Hao looked at him in confusion.
“They speak the language of the Heavenly Spirits Tribe, but with your current knowledge of the Heavenly Spirits Tribe language, you can’t translate it. It needs to be translated in reverse,” Zhuang Yuzhen muttered to himself. “It’s something few people know about. I discovered it accidentally. But even if you hear them, it’s rare to hear anything secretive.”
Jiang Hao appeared calm but was shocked. The reason he couldn’t translate what he heard wasn’t due to a lack of knowledge. It required reverse translation due to the sequence issue and different pronunciations.
“The Corpse Realm is far more complicated than you think.” Zhuang Yuzhen sighed. “Do you know why the higher your cultivation realm is, the less you are allowed entry into the Corpse Realm? Normally, the limit is at the Return to Void Realm. Going higher requires self-restraint, but many times, even the
Return to Void Realm cultivators can’t use all their power to enter.” “I didn’t know about it. Please enlighten me, Senior,” said Jiang Hao.
“It’s because of the sea,” Zhuang Yuzhen said.
“Sea?” Jiang Hao asked in confusion.
“Yes, the sea,” Zhuang Yuzhen said. “When entering at the Return to Void Realm, you might see a vast sea. Once you accidentally enter, there’s no chance for a comeback. The higher the cultivation, the more likely you’ll enter this sea. Unless you have the strength to cross it, they won’t let high-level cultivators in. ”
Jiang Hao was surprised. “The people who didn’t come out, or those who disappeared along with the Heavenly Stele Mountain… they might have entered this sea?”
“There’s a possibility. But no one has reappeared to confirm the truth, so it remains a mystery,” Zhuang Yuzhen said while sipping his wine.
Jiang Hao lowered his head, then he remembered Hong Yuye. She must know about that sea. Perhaps he could ask her.
However, what the Corpse Realm hid wasn’t essential to him. Knowing a bit more was mainly to consider the Corpse Realm as a backup plan.
If one day he was being pursued, he could try hiding in the Corpse Realm. It would make it difficult for others to find him.
Zhuang Yuzhen spent the whole night gazing at the flower. Finally, he left.
Jiang Hao didn’t know what he was thinking but understood his situation.
Being so close, yet unable to attain one’s desires… The feeling was always despairing.
In the early hours of the morning, Jiang Hao watched as Senior Sister Yinsha escorted Zhuang Yuzhen away.
To Jiang Hao’s surprise, as Zhuang Yuzhen left, he met Mu Longyu.
Fortunately, they met in the Lawless Tower, so it wouldn’t affect Jiang Hao much.
He had encountered many powerful individuals. There were the members of the Mountain Sea Sword Sect, the Clear Sky School Sect, and the kings from overseas. These encounters could bring unnecessary trouble.
Fortunately, most of them were in seclusion. However, it would be better to detach himself from these individuals and their situations as soon as possible.
On the fifth floor of the Lawless Tower, Jiang Hao looked at Mu Longyu and Mi Lingyue respectfully. “Do you have something to discuss with me, Seniors?” he asked politely.
“No need for such formality, friend,” said Mu Longyu politely.
His polite attitude made Jiang Hao wary. Did he need something from him?
“Is there something you wish to ask, Senior?” Jiang Hao asked. “Indeed,” Mu Longyu said. “I presume you know my wife?”
Jiang Hao nodded.
“And do you know about her origins?” Mu Longyu asked.
This time, Jiang Hao didn’t speak.
“It’s like this…” Mu Longyu wasn’t bothered by Jiang Hao’s silence. “We want to be together. Do you have any methods to help us?
Jiang Hao understood. Mu Longyu hoped he could help Mi Lingyue break free from the control of the Great Thousand God Sect. However, he had no idea how to do that.
It seemed impossible.
Perhaps he could appraise her and find out something.
Jiang Hao glanced at Mi Lingyue beside him and activated his power.
He used the Daily Appraisal.
[Mi Lingyue: A disciple of the Great Thousand God Sect. She was planted as a spy by Mu Longyu’s side. She unexpectedly became his partner. She gave birth to his son, Mu Yin. She hopes to escape from the influence of her sect to make sure her child grows up happy and safe. She came here with Mu Longyu to teach King Hai Luo a lesson. However, her husband sensed someone powerful might be backing you up. He hopes to use your help to free her from the control of the Great Thousand God Sect. Staying in the Lawless Tower will give you a chance to observe the control methods of the Great Thousand God Sect..]
