Jiang Hao revisited the mines after advancing.
There were indeed many benefits.
Xiao Li also went there every day, but she fell asleep without fail in the middle of the lecture.
Kendo woke her up every time.
He always called out her name the moment she fell asleep.
Xiao Li cooperated and listened carefully. But she still fell asleep.
“This is the first time I’ve seen someone sleep so much.” Kendo sighed.
Jiang Hao saw Liu Xingchen there as well. He could sense four different auras coming from Liu Xingchen.
Had he found another remnant soul?
He didn’t dare use his Daily Appraisal ability in front of Kendo.
Such a powerful person might be able to detect his use of ability.
October passed very quickly. Those who listened to Kendo’s lectures advanced quickly.
The explanation was from Lifeblood Refinement Realm to Immortal Ascension Platform, so everyone benefited greatly.
When it was over, Kendo said, “It’s very surprising you’re up today. You can go back to sleep.”
“Senior, this is for you.” Xiao Li hesitated for a moment before giving a peach to him.
“Thank you. You know… I care for you, but I also feel like you’re wasting your talent day by day.” Kendo sighed. He felt that this child was absolutely unteachable.
Xiao Li only cared about food and nothing else.
If she were to take her cultivation seriously, she could definitely become stronger than everyone else.
When everything was over, Kendo returned to the Longevity Cursed Tree.
He took a bite of the peach Xiao Li had given him. “This is delicious!”
“Senior, can’t you find something for us to eat?” said Bi Zhu as she held her grumbling stomach.
She had been cultivating here for more than a year, and Kendo often guided her in the way of the sword.
Her cultivation realm had improved a lot. In a few decades, she might be able to ascend the Immortal Ascension Platform if an immortal path opened up.
“This is a gift from someone,” Kendo said.
“Senior, let me ask you something. Do you think the Twelve Heavenly Kings can become immortals?” Bi Zhu asked curiously.
“Twelve Heavenly Kings?” Kendo thought for a moment. “Hmm… Overseas has treated the Twelve Heavenly Kings well. But they have never succeeded in becoming immortals. It isn’t that they can’t do it, but… the Heavenly King’s Fortune is just a heavy burden to bear. Even if everything worked in their favor, the Heavenly Kings might still fail. The struggle is useless.”
“Why?” Bi Zhu asked curiously.
She knew that the heavenly King’s Fortune stopped the kings from ascending, but she didn’t know why exactly.
“The Twelve Heavenly Kings aren’t just bound to the people. They are bound to the sea. Ascending to immortality is akin to dragging the whole sea realm with them,” said Kendo and smiled. “The whole sea realm would then become the Immortal Realm.”
“Why is that? Does the Grand Earth Emperor also have to drag the whole Earth into the Immortal Realm? Is it the same for the one with the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment?” Bi Zhu asked.
That seemed impossible.
Kendo thought for a moment. “The Heaven Dao Foundation Establishment is based on the power of the Heavens and Earth. The Grand Earth Emperor is blessed by the Mountains and Seas. They aren’t like the Twelve Heavenly Kings. The kings have a limit. Their combined power is on a whole other level. But the one with the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment and the Grand Earth Emperor harness their innate talent to advance. So, it’s very different.”
“Then, they have no hope at all?” Bi Zhu couldn’t quite believe it.
“I heard that they have to find someone else to help them. Unfortunately, not many people exist in the world who can help them. It’s only hypothetical. Besides, the one who is willing and able to help them would have to open the immortal path by themselves. That was what the Sword God told me,” said Kendo.
Bi Zhu nodded. This information was very important.
She had to find a way to use that information to her advantage.
However, it was bad. The Twelve Heavenly Kings had never succeeded. They might fail this time too.
“It is said that the Heavenly Kings’ opportunity to become an immortal lasts for a hundred years. Even if they can find a person to help them open an immortal path after that, it’ll be useless,” said Kendo.
Bi Zhu was speechless.
The requirements for a Heavenly King to become an immortal were too severe.
It was no wonder they had no hope of becoming an immortal.
Around early November, Jiang Hao was thinking about how to gather bubbles for himself.
It had been more than a year. Shangguan Qingsu should have already reached her clan overseas. When she activated the golden ring, he would have to go too.
Moreover, the Dragon Cave might be opening soon.
He did not expect that he would have to travel overseas again.
He hadn’t gotten any news yet, so he was in no rush.
“I wonder if there’ll be anyone from the North in the gathering…”
The first time they had participated, Jiang Hao felt that this was not the only gathering Senior Dan Yuan had held.
Later, Zhang was added.
He was unsure if there were others like Zhang.
Jiang Hao didn’t think too much about it. He looked at the Immortal Peach Tree. There were only five fruits on it.
It was already mature, so he appraised it to see if he could activate another incarnation process.
He used his divine ability.
[Immortal Peach Tree: It is related to the ancient divine tree, the Immortal Peach Tree. It has a trace of the divine tree’s traits, and the fruit is sweet and fragrant. Leave one fruit on the tree and use 999,999 spirit stones to set up a Spirit Gathering Array around it. It can activate the divine trace and undergo incarnation. It can withstand the tempering of lightning for 49 days. It can only be stopped by a powerful external force. Within nine days, it will complete the fusion of the characteristics of the divine tree. There is a 10% chance of it becoming the Immortal Divine Tree. If it fails the incarnation, it’ll disappear. The incarnation has a higher rate of success if placed near a divine item.]
Jiang Hao found that hard to believe.
He didn’t need to wait for three years to reach the ultimate divine form.
However, the requirements for a successful incarnation were too difficult.
He needed a million spirit stones.
How many years would it take him to save that much?
Even if he sold everything, it wouldn’t be worth a million.
Although it sounded difficult, he did have that condition fulfilled.
The second was to endure the tempering of lightning for 49 days.
Jiang Hao didn’t know what kind of lightning it was.
The third method was to use a powerful external force to complete the fusion of the characteristics of the divine tree within nine days.
How powerful did the external power need to be?
Even if all three conditions were fulfilled, there was only a 10% chance of success.
The tree only had to undergo one successful incarnation.
It was much more difficult to obtain a divine tree than he had expected.
Jiang Hao sighed. He couldn’t think about the incarnation of the peach tree for now.
In any case, he had to save up spirit stones first.
The 200,000 spirit stones he had left were not enough. He couldn’t use that for the divine tree and the divine soul of the Holy Master.
Jiang Hao sighed and set the matter aside for now.
It was better to refine his cultivation realm instead.
After a few days, the main golden ring reacted.
Shangguan Qingsu had activated the ring!
“It seems like she has arrived. I wonder if she has talked with the Shangguan Clan yet.” Jiang Hao decided to wait a little longer.
It hadn’t been long since they had a gathering. If he didn’t contact them, he might not get any information about the Dragon Cave for a very long time.
However, there was one thing that needed to be done as soon as possible.
Since he could not clone the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl, he had to try to clone other things.
Around mid-November, Hong Yuye appeared in his courtyard.
She looked at the peach tree.
Jiang Hao heaved a sigh of relief when he saw her. He wanted to ask her about the last incarnation.
Hong Yuye frowned when he asked that question. “There is indeed a possibility of success, but it might not work.”
“Then, I should still try. It’s just that I’m not strong enough.” Jiang Hao lowered his head.
Hong Yuye reached out her hand and pressed it on Jiang Hao’s chest. The palm imprint on his chest flared.
Jiang Hao sighed in relief.
After that, he headed to Devil’s Den.
He wanted to go to the Blood Pool and try to use the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl to intimidate the Blood Pool and clone it.
