Attacked by the Female Demon at the Beginning - Chapter 316

Chapter 316: Uncomfortable After Being Touched by a Female Demon

Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment, a term Jiang Hao had never heard before.

In his knowledge, Foundation Establishment was simply Foundation Establishment; there was no distinction in levels.

He was just an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Because everyone else was also a regular Foundation Establishment cultivator, he had assumed there was no special type of Foundation Establishment.

Nowadays, it seems that nothing is impossible in the world of geniuses.

And with Hong Yuye being so formidable, there’s a certain possibility that she has achieved the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment.

Just hearing the name feels extraordinary.

“No,” Hong Yuye shook her head in denial, then added:

“Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment requires the right time, place, and harmony among people, which is extremely difficult to come by in the world.”

“Is the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment destined to stand at the pinnacle of the cultivation world?” Jiang Hao asked curiously.

If Hong Yuye wasn’t a Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment, it was hard to imagine how powerful one must be.

“The pinnacle of the cultivation world?”

Hong Yuye pondered for a moment before speaking.

“Yes and no. Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment merely provides a good foundation, but whether it’s foundation or talent, once a certain realm is reached, they offer no advantage. The strong usually rely on this.”

Saying that, she extended her slender index finger and gently tapped Jiang Hao’s chest.

“The heart?” Jiang Hao was somewhat puzzled.

The strong rely on the heart?

Not on talent or foundation?

But being pointed at like this made him feel a bit awkward.

Whenever Hong Yuye had touched him before, he would either be sent flying or falling.

He had never experienced such a touch without any reaction.

“You’ll understand in the future,” Hong Yuye withdrew her hand and said.

How long would this future be?

Jiang Hao pondered for a moment, feeling it wouldn’t be too long.

Continuing to mine here, he saw infinite possibilities.

To understand more about the Dao of Heaven Foundation Establishment, he asked again:

“Senior, does the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment receive the favor of heaven and earth?”

“Yes, as long as they don’t commit acts that provoke heaven’s wrath and people’s resentment, those who have achieved the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment will gradually increase their fortune with heaven and earth, and there’s a certain possibility they could become great beings of fortune in the future.”

Great beings of fortune?

Jiang Hao thought of the Heavenly Extreme Calamity Bead, which required a person of great fortune to suppress and seal.

After understanding a bit more, he started to talk about what followed.

But he still didn’t know how to bring up the Heavenly Extreme Calamity Bead.

He could only wait for the future.

After all, there was no substantial progress, so it didn’t matter whether he spoke of it or not.

“Let’s talk about the previous gathering,” Hong Yuye continued to drink her tea.

Jiang Hao nodded; he needed to recall the previous gathering, which was quite some time ago.

Moreover, there was much more information than this time.

If Hong Yuye made any comments, he would need to take note of them to strengthen his image at future gatherings.

“There were quite a few gains from the previous gathering. The first was learning that ‘Gui’ is in the Tianyin Sect, now in the Corpse Realm,” Jiang Hao said, summarizing the situation.

Upon hearing this, Hong Yuye took a sip of tea and asked:

“Did you take any action?”

“No,” Jiang Hao shook his head.

“Judging from Flood Dragon’s injuries, ‘Gui’s’ strength far exceeds late stage Foundation Establishment, and I am no match.”

Hong Yuye chuckled coldly and said, “Continue, and also explain your decision and the reasons behind it.”

“I feel that I shouldn’t act against ‘Gui.’ If I do, it would affect the normal proceedings of the gathering and also affect subsequent undercover efforts.”

“Once the balance of the gathering is broken, they will become much more vigilant, and it would be even harder to find out who’s behind the stone tablets,” Jiang Hao answered.

He himself couldn’t possibly take action; fighting against someone stronger would be suicide.

Even just seeing them could lead to being targeted.

Especially since the other party could cast curses, they were not to be trifled with.

Unless Hong Yuye herself took action, but she had always been an observer.

“Continue,” Hong Yuye said.

Jiang Hao then spoke about the task of finding out the list targeting the Heavenly Extreme Calamity Bead and mentioned the weakness of the Sea Heavenly King.

Hong Yuye seemed a little surprised at this.

Especially when Jiang Hao said it was indeed useful, she was even more surprised.

After finishing these topics, Jiang Hao passed on the information about End of All Things:

“This is the information found on End of All Things. The Great Thousand Divine Sect is investigating the Tianyin Sect, and the one who issued this task is End of All Things. The purpose is to find something, but I don’t know what exactly.”

“End of All Things?” Hong Yuye looked at the note but did not say anything further.

“Then there’s a secret phrase from End of All Things, but its validity may have passed. It’s already being tested, and I don’t know if there will be any results,” Jiang Hao added about the secret phrase.

He also informed her of his plan to have the rabbit search for it.

After discussing these matters, Jiang Hao finally talked about the mission at Tianbei Mountain.

“The content of the sixth stone tablet?” Hong Yuye seemed quite interested.

“The inheritance of Tianbei Mountain?”

“Have you been here before, senior?” Jiang Hao ventured to ask.

Because in the description of “Gui,” the Corpse Realm had also seen an peerless genius one or two hundred years ago.

And as far as Jiang Hao could tell, no one could surpass Hong Yuye.

“No,” Hong Yuye looked up at the bright moonlight and said softlhy.

“This is my first time here, but the formation that seals this place is not new to me.”

“The Heaven, Earth, and Man Three Elements Formation?” Jiang Hao asked.

Hong Yuye did not answer but continued to drink her tea.

Jiang Hao didn’t ask further, poured himself some tea, and drank as well.

After a long while, a tremor suddenly appeared in the sky.

The Human Element Formation seemed to have detected something.

“Faster than I expected,” Hong Yuye put down her teacup and then asked.

“Do you plan to keep mining here?”

For a moment, Jiang Hao didn’t know how to respond.

To mine or not to mine?

But before he could speak, Hong Yuye continued:

“Next time I come, can you mine out the spirit stones for Azure Red Sky?”

“Can do,” Jiang Hao replied without hesitation.

Hong Yuye looked at Jiang Hao with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, making the latter somewhat nervous.

To alleviate this fear, he spoke again: “I will spare no effort for my senior.”

Hong Yuye let out a chuckle and then vanished from the spot.

“If my flowers and trees have any problems after I return, you can forget about mining for the rest of your life,” her imposing voice reached Jiang Hao’s ears.

He had no choice but to hope that nothing unexpected would happen to the rabbits.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t be good for anyone.

“According to Hong Yuye, she’ll come back after some time?”

He had been here for four months already, so there should be another two to eight months to go.

With such a wide range, she really could come back.

He might even attend another gathering in the meantime.

It was time to think about what questions to ask.

After Hong Yuye disappeared, the Human Element Formation returned to normal.

……

The next day.

Jiang Hao was still waiting for the crowing of the rooster to signal the start.

This time the opening period was long, so the closing period might be lengthy as well.

It seemed he could only tend to the spiritual herbs.

He could also look for those two people to sell some ore.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, two figures flew in on their swords.

It was the refined Gu Wen and the slightly plump Ding Yu.

Both of them had unstable auras but were in the early stages of the Golden Core.

How long had it been, and they had already advanced?

Jiang Hao couldn’t help but admire these people.

They, the five Foundation Establishment cultivators he knew, had all advanced to the early stage of the Golden Core in a short time.

It seemed that this place was indeed full of opportunities and a great place to advance.

Unfortunately, he had not yet made the leap. But after returning, he could also bring his cultivation to completion.

“I wonder if Junior Brother Han will be affected in his Dao Heart when he finds out I’m at the peak of Foundation Establishment the next time he challenges me,” Jiang Hao worried for his Junior Brother.
