Three days passed, and Jiang Hao finally woke up from his cultivation.

For a moment, an imprint of the Mountain Sea Seal appeared in the middle of his brows.

Before, the imprint showed one small and one big mountain.

This time, there was a tall mountain in the middle and two short ones on each side.

A vast power was faintly discernible.

The aura of the Mountain Sea Seal had the power to suppress all things.

Jiang Hao stretched out his hand, and an illusionary mountain peak appeared in his hand.

“It’s very strong…”

Jiang Hao sighed with emotion.

He felt that he could still continue absorbing the Holy Master’s divine soul.

But it would not be as easy as before.

He needed to adapt and become skilled at it.

There was no rush to absorb it whole.

However, would the mountain peak grow bigger if he absorbed more?

He did not know.

He began to apply the Mountain Sea Seal on the Mountain Sea Merit Cauldron.

A loud boom shook his soul, and a powerful force spread out. It caused the power of merit to encompass the power of the mountains and seas. The impact was far greater than before.

However, that would do nothing. He had to keep applying it frequently.

This time next year, if he still had twenty-three years left, he would know it was effective.

It would be immensely difficult to add years.

That was unlikely to happen.

Every move he made was imbued with great power. The Mountain Sea Seal had greatly improved his strength.

The Holy Master was truly amazing.

Ten days later, around the middle of September, Jiang Hao felt that it was time to go overseas to check out the other warehouses and to get back the pickaxe.

He had to make a trip to the Lawless Tower before he left.

He also had to ask about the Heavenly Tower.

Jiang Hao looked at the Immortal Peach Tree.

“The peaches are ripe…”

No one had come to eat them yet this year.

With a sigh, Jiang Hao picked four peaches.

After some thought, he picked one more.

He arrived at the fifth floor of the Lawless Tower.

Jiang Hao had just entered when he heard an argument going on inside.

“We really can’t do it like you suggest. It’s just too simple. We have to think in reverse and change the position of the Eight Trigrams.”

Mi Lingyue started to talk about the basics of formations.

“No. Although there are some new ideas in the Dao of Formations, you have to remember what they’re all about. Just because it’s new doesn’t mean it’s good. This deviates too far from the fundamentals of formations and is not beneficial for future learning. It’s better to lay a solid foundation first before learning anything else,” said Old Man Corpse Sea.

Zhuang Yuzhen occasionally chimed in.

The others couldn’t get a word in.

Zhuang Dongyun watched them talk about formations. Occasionally, she felt surprised, and sometimes, she wanted to say something but hesitated.

In the end, she did not say anything.

“I miss Heavenly King Hai Luo.” The lantern bearer sighed.

Hai Luo could be amusing sometimes.

These people were too strong.

He had become a joke here instead.

“Junior Brother, you’re finally here!” he said in surprise when he noticed Jiang Hao.

Jiang Hao nodded.

He offered a peach to the lantern bearer.

“Thank you, Junior Brother.” The lantern bearer accepted the peach and smiled. “If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me. I’ll tell you what I know, and if I don’t know, I’ll try to get it from other seniors.”

“Thank you, Senior Brother.” After that, Jiang Hao walked up to Zhuang Yuzhen. “This is for you, Senior.”

He handed him a peach too.

The second cell was supposed to be occupied by Heavenly King Hai Luo, but no one was in there this time.

Jiang Hao walked to the third cell and offered a peach to Mi Lingyue.

Mi Lingyue accepted it and smiled. “This is my first time eating it. I don’t know if it’s delicious.”

“If you don’t like it, I can help you finish it,” said the lantern bearer.

Mi Lingyue laughed.

The fourth cell was the lantern bearer’s.

He did not bother with Yan Shang.

The sixth cell held Old Man Corpse Sea. Jiang Hao offered a peach to him.

“Now, I have one too!” Old Man Corpse Sea laughed.

Jiang Hao was backed by an extremely terrifying existence. Naturally, it was a happy occasion to receive something like this.

Jiang Hao walked to the last cell.

Bing Qing stared at him with confusion.

At that moment, he placed a peach in front of her. “The beast asked me to give this to you, Senior. It’s not easy for it to come up here.”

Bing Qing picked up the peach and held it tightly to her as if she could bear to eat it.

This was a gift from her friend.

She had never had any friends who gave her anything before.

Tears streamed down her face.

She regretted not having prepared a gift for her friend in return.

“Go ahead and eat it,” said Jiang Hao encouragingly. “The beast told me to tell you to eat it.”

Bing Qing believed him and ate the peach with a sob.

“This is the most delicious peach I’ve ever tasted,” she murmured to herself.

Jiang Hao sighed. The peach was indeed delicious. After the last incarnation, the tree would turn into a divine tree.

There would not be any other peach that would be as delicious in the world.

“This is indeed delicious,” Zhuang Yuzhen said in surprise.

He had seen a lot in his life and traveled far, but he had never tasted a peach as delicious as this.

Mi Lingyue narrowed her eyes and thought of Mu Yin.

Her son might not have ever tasted something like this before. It would have been great if she could give it to him.

She did not know how to tell Jiang Hao that, so she did not say anything.

If she asked for too much, he might end up disliking her.

After that, Jiang Hao continued to study formations.

Every day was a day of learning.

These people would each teach their own methods, and Jiang Hao listened attentively before ultimately choosing the most traditional and ordinary one.

There was no other reason than its simplicity.

It wasn’t that he lacked confidence, but…

He had self-awareness.

His talent in formations was indeed lacking.

If it was Xiao Li, she would probably skip all of it.

Her talent in formations was incredible. It was unknown if she was born with it or if she had learned it before she lost her memory.

He could ask her when he got the chance.

Mi Lingyue felt that it was a pity to not use talent to learn something like this.

However, she did her best to teach the traditional and ordinary ones.

She hoped that Jiang Hao would learn it and teach it to Mu Yin too.

If not, it could not be helped.

After finishing today’s lesson, Jiang Hao approached Zhuang Yuzhen. “There is one more thing I would like to ask you, Senior.”

“What is it?” Zhuang Yuzhen asked.

He was willing to tell Jiang Hao everything he knew.

“I heard that there’s a place called the Heavenly Tower in the North. What kind of place is it?” Jiang Hao asked.

He had wanted to ask that for a long time.

However, he had forgotten about it while he was learning about formations.

Since he was planning to go overseas, he had remembered it this time.

“The Heavenly Tower?” Zhuang Yuzhen was surprised.

“Is there anything strange about that place?” Jiang Hao asked.

“It’s not strange… I’m just a little surprised by the mention of it,” he said. “It’s a place established specifically for dual cultivation. Most people who enter are there for dual cultivation. Most people pay in spirit stones to seek help regarding such cultivation. The only advantage is that you can choose any female disciple in the place as long as you have enough spirit stones. It is said that there was a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator who was lucky enough to save up enough spirit stones. The Tower Master of the Heavenly Tower even danced for him for a night.”

Jiang Hao was speechless.

Was that place similar to a brothel?

He frowned.

It was no wonder the people at the gathering had reacted strangely.

Had he been misunderstood?

The place did not sound very proper. Did Gu Jin and the Red Dragon enjoy places like that?

The two of them were good friends.

For a moment, Jiang Hao did not want to meet that dragon anymore.

But, after so many years, the dragon might not necessarily be in the Heavenly Tower.

Gu Jin had not specified the location.

So, would he have to leave a message at every brothel in each department of the tower?

If he really wanted to meet this dragon, he would have to ask around.

Should he just ask the people in the gathering?

Should he just ask the Holy Master? After all, he was now “Brother Li” to Smiling San Sheng.

With his divine soul spread across all directions, he might know about it.

He decided to visit him tonight.
