Around early September, Jiang Hao sat in his courtyard. He was preparing to digest the Holy Master’s divine soul.

The gains this time exceeded his expectations.

He thought he would have to fight with the other party to obtain the divine soul. After that, he had intended to go around collecting spirit stones.

It would have taken him half a month to gather a million spirit stones.

Only then could he begin to absorb the Holy Master’s divine soul.

Who would have thought that he could obtain the divine soul and get some spirit stones?

He had even received help from the Holy Master against the Great Thousand God Sect.

“Although the last part sounds like a trick, it’s worth a try,” he mumbled. “Even if I tell Hu Yuexin about it, it’s fine., If the information isn’t true, I can just tell them it was a joke. But if it really happens…”

Jiang Hao felt that the other party would not fight the Heavenly Note Sect for a while.

If they were trying to create more immortals, they would need all their manpower to deal with unexpected accidents.

Their strength would be greatly reduced if they went against the Heavenly Note Sect.

The sect might not fear them and instead, might imprison them all.

This kind of thing had happened before.

However, he did not quite understand why the Holy Master had acted that way.

Li Qi was just a wisp of consciousness of the Holy Master. Even if he was killed, it would mean nothing to the Holy Master.

Why compromise? Was Li Qi special?

Jiang Hao shook his head. It was not like he could figure it out right away, so he set the thought aside.

It was better to absorb the divine soul first.

If he used the Mountain Sea Seal on the Mountain Sea Merit Cauldron, it would definitely have some effect.

It would at least buy him a year.

The absorption was not endless, and the power his body could withstand was also limited.

If he wanted to absorb more, he had to increase his cultivation realm.

That was something to be done later. After absorbing a bit of it, he would see what he could do.

If it went alright, he would have to inconvenience his “brother” again.

Without hesitation, Jiang Hao entered the formation and began to absorb the Holy Master’s divine soul.

…

Overseas, a group of people were digging inside a mine.

The pickaxe of someone in the middle was like a divine weapon. It broke the ore easily.

They had been digging here for almost three years, and this mineral vein was their last hope.

Deep within, perhaps there was something that could unravel the mystery of life and death.

Clang!

Suddenly, sparks flew from the pickaxe as it hit something.

This surprised everyone.

This was the first time something like this had happened.

“Looks like I dug up something!” Zuo Daoming took a deep breath.

There was not much time left. This was his last chance.

There were only a few months left until the year was up.

After that, he would have no choice but to welcome his death.

“Let’s dig it up!” said a woman.

A few of them began to dig. Soon, they found a stone tablet with a dragon statue engraved on it.

“It’s a dragon!” exclaimed the woman. “Senior Brother, look! It’s a dragon! We found the right place! This place might really help you get through your ordeal!”

Zuo Daoming was delighted.

It seemed like this place was the answer to his problem.

He was not a normal person but someone with dragon’s blood flowing in his veins.

He was a descendant of a human and a True Dragon.

One of his parents was not a dragon, but one of his ancestors was. That was how it had been passed down for generations.

But people like him did not live for long.

No matter what cultivation realm they had, they were destined to die soon.

It seemed like a curse brought upon by the union of two beings that should have mixed. An unholy union between a human and a dragon had led to a cursed child.

In any case, they were surrounded by death from their birth until the time they met their deaths again.

He was the only one left from such a lineage.

However, he had been luckier than most.

His Master had taken him into a sect, which had helped him stall death for a while.

However, he could no longer delay it. His Master had predicted that his death would come at the end of this year, and the only way he could survive was overseas.

This was the final location from the prediction.

If he was lucky, he would be able to escape this calamity and no longer be targeted by death.

If not, this would be his burial ground.

He could vaguely remember his Master looking dejected. “I’ve tried my best. You’ll have to find a way by yourself now,” his Master had said.

Zuo Daoming did not have any complaints. His Master had done enough.

He could do the rest by himself.

If he failed, the only life he would lose would be his.

But who wanted to welcome death when they had hope for life? In the past, he could not find a way no matter how much he looked for it.

That changed when he had held this pickaxe three years ago. He knew instinctively that he could find a way.

Sure enough, he relied on this pickaxe to dig through to a place related to dragons.

“There’s a door here,” said a voice from the side.

Zuo Daoming walked over and checked the area. He realized that it was covered in ores.

Without hesitation, he picked up the pickaxe and began to dig.

Even other magical equipment could not move these ores, but this pickaxe did it so easily.

This was an opportunity that he could not miss.

But the three-year deadline was almost up, and the pickaxe had to be returned.

He hoped that during this time, he could enter this place and obtain that shred of vitality.

…

In front of Bright Moon Sect, Qu Zhong nervously watched the person in front of him.

Due to some unexpected incidents, they had arrived late.

When they reached the mountain gate, they saw the guards.

The strength of these two people standing guard was unimaginable.

Even their Elders could not see through them.

This was an immortal sect, after all.

As the person who had proposed this journey, Qu Zhong could only bite the bullet and explain his purpose for coming here. He hoped the note in the envelope from that mysterious man could persuade these people to let them in.

“Are you here to seek assistance?” asked a Senior Brother of the Bright Moon Sect as he looked at the note in the envelope.

“Yes.” Qu Zhong nodded.

The others also bowed.

He hoped that the Bright Moon Sect could lend them a helping hand.

“Actually, we also want to recruit more people. I think you have noticed that the East isn’t as peaceful as before.,” said the Senior Brother. “Don’t worry. We’ll help you. For now, please go and rest. We’ll talk another day. We’re waiting for one of our juniors to return.”

Did he succeed? Qu Zhong was surprised.

He had not expected this to really work.

Although these guards had not agreed explicitly, they still made them feel that there was hope.

Moreover, they were waiting for someone to return.

That implied that they had made some arrangements.

They were curious about what was written in the envelope.

Qu Zhong also wanted to know, but he had never opened it.

After they were let through, Qu Zhong asked the woman who was one of the guards, “What’s written on the note?”

“Junior Sister Chu Jie went to the North.” The guard sighed. “That’s what’s written in the note. That girl really doesn’t stay in one place. Isn’t she afraid of anything? Well… there’s nothing we can do about it.” She sighed again and continued, “She probably feels like she doesn’t have much time left. Cultivation isn’t that important to her now. What she wants to do now is to condense great luck in the shortest time possible so that she has an innate advantage.”

“She’s just a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator, but she’s so brave,” said the Senior Brother.

The woman waved her hand in front of him. “Senior Brother, are you asleep? Junior Sister Chu has already reached the Soul Ascension Realm.”

‘So fast?’ He thought.

He thought that was what it must be like to be the one with the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment. In the blink of an eye, she had reached the Soul Ascension Realm.

It was no wonder the old elders said that what she lacked was only time.

She only needed two hundred years more to reach her potential, but it seemed that she might not have it.

In the past, she could proceed at her own pace.

But after this, it would be a constant struggle.

The Fallen Immortal Clan had made several attempts at a comeback, but they had stopped it so that she would have more time.

The quicker they recovered, the faster the Great Era War would arrive.
