The purpose of Chi Tian was not necessarily for him to gather enough information.

Jiang Hao needed to use him as an excuse when there was no progress. That way, he would have something to report to Hong Yuye.

“But isn’t this task too ordinary? It’s just to find the person and pass on the message,” said Liu.

Jiang Hao smiled. “You’ll know when you look for him.”

Chi Tian was on guard against him, so it wouldn’t be easy to find him. Liu didn’t say much and just nodded.

“I need a flood dragon. Preferably, a flood dragon from the depths of the sea,” Xing said.

“I might have some clues.” Liu thought for a moment and said, “Is there a specific requirement?”

“No, but it needs to be a regular flood dragon, and it has to be alive,” Xing said.

“Alright, I should have some information in a while,” Liu said.

Jiang Hao didn’t know what Xing needed the dragon for, but these people often had other missions.

He just couldn’t be involved in many of them.

Currently, they only sought him out if they had a mission in the vicinity of the Heavenly Note Sect. For other regions, they would ask someone who was nearby.

After the transactions concluded, Gui smiled. “I heard that the southern imperial city is about to arrange a marriage and seems to have invited people from various sects. I don’t know why it’s such a grand occasion.”

‘Southern imperial city?’

Jiang Hao lowered his head in thought. The southern region was vast and there was an imperial city somewhere.

However, he had never seen it, and only a few people ever talked about it.

The Heavenly Note Sect was in the farthest south, so it was difficult for the imperial city’s influence to reach there.

They could manage various cities, but sects were beyond their reach.

However, this did not mean that the imperial city was weak. Some books recorded the legend of the royal family.

In any case, being able to establish order in the imperial city without the help of the sects wasn’t a small thing.

He had never heard of such a thing as a marriage alliance.

“The royal family in the southern region seems to be getting close to the Saint Bandits. Be careful if you go there,” Dan Yuan said suddenly.

This surprised everyone.

So, there were Saint Bandits in the imperial city!

They really had people everywhere.

The Saint Bandits claimed to be able to seize talents and probably could also bestow talents upon others. Regardless of province, there were many people in need of their services, and their agents were numerous in these places.

“I just realized what an extraordinary genius actually is, ” said Xing. “The disciple with the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment is about to advance to the Golden Core Realm. The speed of progress is unbelievable.”

Everyone was stunned.

It had only been a little over a year. She was already about to advance to Golden Core Realm in about two years!

“At this rate, how much faster will she be in the future?” Gui asked.

“She’s about twenty years old now, right? Two years for Golden Core Realm… If she doubles her progress, she’ll be at Primordial Spirit Realm at twenty-four. She would be at the Soul Ascension Realm at thirty-two and Return to Void Realm at forty-eight… She can reach the Immortal Ascension Realm before she’s two hundred years old! That’s quite unbelievable.” Liu was astonished.

Jiang Hao was also amazed. This speed was almost the same as his.

The Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment was indeed remarkable.

It wouldn’t be easy for Chu Chuan to catch up. At least in the early stages, there was no hope, but it depended on whether there would be an opportunity in the later stages.

According to Hong Yuye, what mattered in the later stages was not talent but the heart of the person.

“Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment is about a person of great luck, so rapid progress is inevitable,” Dan Yuan said.

Jiang Hao lowered his head. If it were known that his progress exceeded that of someone with the Heavenly Dao Foundation establishment, he wondered what would happen.

This was the reason he dared not reveal it. It seemed a little like a fantasy tale.

It would bring fatal consequences.

“Things have been quite lively overseas lately. Hai Luo, the Heavenly King, has returned. With the support of other kings, he took control of his forces. Not only that, but he also besieged Miao Anxian.”

“And then?” Gui was curious. “Miao Anxian is his beloved, isn’t she? Did he really make an attempt on her life?”

Jiang Hao listened quietly. He also wanted to know the final outcome. Perhaps the two of them would still end up together.

“The situation is a bit complicated. It’s known that Hai Luo, the Heavenly King, returned and Miao Anxian’s power was stripped from her. She then fled. It seems that Hai Luo only wanted to confront her and seek an explanation. But she didn’t see it that way. In the end, Miao Anxian was chased to the Abyssal Sea, which is a perilous place. She looked at Hai Luo, who caught up to her, and without a second thought, she jumped in. She probably didn’t survive.”

‘Hai Luo didn’t jump in after her?’ Jiang Hao wanted to ask, but he didn’t utter a word.

“King Hai Luo didn’t jump after her even though she was his lover?” Gui asked.

Jiang Hao increasingly felt that the gathering couldn’t do without Gui at all. “No, he just stood there in a daze.” Liu shook his head. “He is one of the Twelve

Heavenly Kings. Even if she is his lover, he can’t afford to be swayed by her and abandon everything. Otherwise, how could he establish himself overseas and become one of the Twelve Heavenly Kings?”

“Is that how it ended?” Gui asked.

“I think so. The future is uncertain. Because the Heavenly King’s strength seems to have been seriously damaged, it’s hard to say if he can maintain his position as one of the Twelve Heavenly Kings for long. But with Miao Anxian, it’s probably a done deal,” Liu said.

Jiang Hao sighed inwardly.

He wondered what Hai Luo was feeling right now.

Perhaps he would say, “I was just fooling around, and you all took it seriously?”

Unfortunately, it was hard to know for sure.

After talking for a while, Jiang Hao fell silent.

Every time it came to an exchange, he seemed to be nonexistent.

No topic could interest him.

The only thing he could report on was the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl, but unfortunately, apart from the earlier changes, there had been no further developments.

After leaving the gathering, Jiang Hao breathed a sigh of relief and took out his notebook to write everything down.

This time, there wasn’t much to write:

The royal family in the southern region was planning a marriage alliance. The Saint Bandits might make contact with them.

He had asked Gui to curse Yin Wei.

He informed Liu about the Sea Fog Cave and asked him to find Chi Tian and deliver a message.

The rest was about Hai Luo’s matter that didn’t need any extra attention.

Senior Dan Yuan also didn’t have tasks to assign them.

Jiang Hao put away the book and realized that there wasn’t much for him to do lately.

He only needed to wait. ‘Perfect! I can focus on my cultivation.’

Two months later, in early November, many overseas individuals visited the Heavenly Note Sect to discuss cooperation on some matters.

After three days of discussions, Elder Baizhi agreed to their proposal.

Both sides cooperated with the Sea Fog Cave as the common ground.

Jiang Hao didn’t know the details. Even Liu Xingchen knew very little about it.

But the most obvious change was that there were many foreigners in the sect, and occasional conflicts would arise.

The Heavenly Note Sect was a demonic sect, and there were quite a few people from overseas, so there always were some conflicts due to different opinions. Moreover, the overseas people seemed to be a bit arrogant and looked down on the Heavenly Note Sect.

“Heavenly Sword Talisman? The quality of your Heavenly Sword Talisman is a bit low. Ninety spirit stones are a little too expensive. How about seventy?” A middle-aged man smiled and threw seventy spirit stones at Jiang Hao.

He then picked up the talisman.

“Senior…” Jiang Hao shook his head as he held onto the talisman. “I can’t sell it to you for that much”

“Can’t sell it to me?” The middle-aged man smiled, and the aura of the peak of the Golden Core Realm surged. “What do you think now?”

“Senior, at least give me some real spirit stones,” Jiang Hao said.

The seventy spirit stones he had thrown at Jiang Hao were all fake. This was too much.

“You think these are fake? They are all real,” the middle-aged man said.

For a moment, a powerful force pressed on Jiang Hao.

Jiang Hao withdrew his hand and remained silent.

“Great! I told you this place is not bad. The cultivators here are so sensible.

Hahaha…

He left with a smile and said that he would come here often.

After the man left, Jiang Hao quietly followed him.

Along the way, he found that it wasn’t just him who was being treated like this. Other vendors were going through the same thing.

These overseas people appeared friendly on the surface, but they were actually robbers. They robbed people who had a lower cultivation realm than theirs in broad daylight..
