After Qingshan returned to her seat, Jiang Hao had a strange feeling that she might have misunderstood something.
He then turned to look at Hong Yuye, who had been staring at something for long enough now.
Following her gaze, he saw Xiao Li wandering around. She was probably restless because she hadn’t found any food.
Jiang Hao didn’t pay much attention to Xiao Li and instead tried to locate the disciples from the Clear Sky School.
Although the senior members of the Clear Sky School were present, he didn’t want to approach them. That would be inappropriate.
After observing for a while, he still couldn’t spot anyone from the Clear Sky School.
One day had passed, but there was no significant progress. He hadn’t found anyone from The End of All Things yet.
However, cries of astonishment frequently erupted from the crowd below. Even people like Chang Zizai often expressed admiration.
Indeed, the younger generation possessed limitless potential, while the old folks like them were stubborn and stuck to the paths paved by their ancestors. Jiang Hao also wanted to follow the old path, but what he lacked was time.
At this moment, a figure shot up into the sky, and a group of people chased after them.
“Are they competing in speed?” Qingshan was surprised as she watched the figure in the sky.
“It seems like they are.” Chang Zizai sighed. “They aren’t taking their job seriously. The Bright Moon Sect even arranged for such competitions. ”
“Is it the Light and Dust again?” Qingshan chuckled. “How many times has the
Astronomical Academy’s Light and Dust Technique been ridiculed?”
Jiang Hao looked into the distance and saw the same Astronomical Academy disciple from before. He was still using the Light and Dust Technique, albeit a slightly improved version. However, he was still lagging behind.
“Is that the Light and Dust Technique?” Hong Yuye watched He Du with curiosity.
“It should be.” Jiang Hao nodded. He was also surprised when he first saw it.
“Have you heard of it?” Qingshan approached them. “The Light and Dust Technique was first learned by someone from the Astronomical Academy from an unknown source. It’s said to be extremely powerful. Unfortunately, no one in other sects has learned it yet.”
“What do you mean by no one has ever learned it?” Chang Zizai asked. “He Du told me that he saw someone using the Light and Dust Technique perfectly.
Even Hua Han saw it. That proves that our sect is not wrong.”
“How many times has your sect said the same thing?” Qingshan asked.
It seemed like the Astronomical Academy had been humiliated because of the Light and Dust technique.
However, he had no intention of using it again. He had only used it before because he had no other choice.
Seeing that it was getting dark, Hong Yuye stood up.
Jiang Hao got up to follow.
Whenever Chang Zizai was about to speak, the two of them disappeared in an instant. He was puzzled.
Qingshan and some others felt the same way.
Silently, they vanished without a trace.
Many people breathed a sigh of relief. They didn’t want to provoke those two.
At the Twin City Peak, tables and chairs appeared around Hong Yuye. She sat down, and Jiang Hao brewed some tea.
The tea had not been used for a while, so there was still plenty left.
When he finished brewing the tea, it was already nighttime.
Jiang Hao sat down and took out the stone tablet. He wanted to see if there were any messages.
Sure enough, Gui and the others were online.
Text appeared on the stone tablet.
[Gui: I didn’t feel like there were any outstanding individuals present today.]
[Xing: It’s just the beginning. There will be more exceptional disciples arriving soon.]
[Gui: The rewards are quite generous. Tomorrow, I plan to suppress my cultivation and participate in the first and second rounds.]
[Liu: I heard that the cultivation realm of the disciples this time isn’t very high.
Gui, would it be too much to do that?]
[Gui: I’ve seen many people suppress their cultivation and participate. If I do the same, it won’t make much of a difference. Besides, there is no possibility of physical conflict. It should be fine.]
[Liu: By the way, the rumor about stealing great luck is getting more and more intense in other sects. It might be the doing of The End of All Things. I wonder how significant the impact will be.]
[Xing: This is something we need to ask Dan Yuan.] [Gui: Do you think Jing is watching our chat?]
Jiang Hao was speechless.
Without entering, he couldn’t chat with others. He hadn’t participated after the first time.
He probably wouldn’t enter the chat unless there was something important.
So far, he hadn’t discovered anything.
He could remain mysterious as long as he could stay out of sight.
The more people he interacted with, the easier it would be for his identity to get exposed. That would be troublesome.
For now, it was good as it was.
“Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment won’t be affected just because of rumors,” Hong Yuye said suddenly.
Jiang Hao looked up and saw Hong Yuye looking at the stone tablet.
“Does that mean the rumors don’t affect it at all?”
“If the person who is to achieve the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment is affected by the rumors, then it might cause some damage,” Hong Yuye said.
Jiang Hao nodded. That needed a solid and unwavering mind to withstand the overwhelming force of heaven and earth.
The stone tablet had more incoming messages:
[Gui: I heard that the Bright Moon Sect has many Holy Medicine Seeds. I want to win one.]
‘Holy Medicine Seeds?’ Jiang Hao was suddenly interested.
The next day, Jiang Hao arrived at the scene.
He had used the excuse of finding the End of All Things to come along with
Hong Yuye.
She had agreed, but their smile was somewhat unsettling.
Fortunately, there were no more surprises.
At the scene, he looked at the rewards on both sides.
Alchemy, talisman crafting, formations, forging, defense, understanding of magical arts, and more.
He spotted three seeds in total.
Alchemy, forging, and formations all had seeds as the top rewards.
Jiang Hao felt tempted, but…
He didn’t know anything about them.
He looked at the category of body techniques and found that the highest reward consisted of three items.
One unknown Holy Medicine Seed, one unknown Bright Moon Sect cultivation technique manual, and one unknown pill.
Three to choose from.
All he needed to do was to win.
Jiang Hao understood the rules. By suppressing his cultivation at the Foundation Establishment Realm, he could participate in the competition. He needed to use his body technique to catch up with the Golden Core Realm cultivator at the front to be declared the winner.
‘It feels like a game.’
He then asked some more questions related to the competition.
He asked whether anyone had succeeded before.
Unfortunately, no one had ever succeeded.
After making sure that there was no one he recognized, he decided to participate.
He was not worried about his fellow disciples from the Heavenly Note Sect but rather the people he knew from the Bright Moon Sect.
Because in everyone’s eyes, he was a senior.
If he participated so suddenly, it might seem like he was trying to dominate others. It was better to be anonymous.
Sometimes he envied the thick-skinned nature of the spirit beast. It didn’t have any shame.
Soon, he became one of the participants in the competition. He was joined by nine others. Ahead of them was a woman in the early stage of the Golden Core Realm.
“Dear fellow disciples, if you can surpass me, you will be eligible for the rewards. If you can maintain your position, you can freely choose the highest rewards. A reminder… I’m using my Golden Core Realm for this task. If your body technique isn’t up to par, you can withdraw now,” said the woman at the Golden Core Realm.
Jiang Hao and the others remained silent. They waited for the competition to begin.
Looking around, he noticed that quite a few people were suppressing their cultivation, with only two genuinely at the Foundation Establishment Realm.
It was a little like dominating the weak, indeed.
However, a Holy Medicine Seed would benefit him, so he aimed to obtain it. It all came down to who had a deeper understanding of body techniques..
