Attacked by the Female Demon at the Beginning - Chapter 48

Chapter 48: The Second Form of the Heavenly Saber

“Eat humans?”

Cheng Chou was somewhat surprised.

There were many ordinary people in the Spiritual Medicine Garden, and it wasn’t impossible for a spiritual beast to eat humans.

There seemed to be such spiritual beasts in other parts of the Demon Sect.

For a moment, Cheng Chou was deeply worried.

“Yes, eat humans,” the rabbit said, looking up with pride and a sense of nobility.

“Go and capture some officials and nobles for me.”

“Does it have to be officials and nobles?”

Cheng Chou asked tentatively, “Would ordinary people not suffice?”

“No,” the rabbit shook its head.

“Does Lord Rabbit have any particular preferences?” Cheng Chou asked curiously.

“The taste isn’t up to par,” the rabbit said seriously as it looked at the ordinary people in the Spiritual Medicine Garden.

“The common folk suffer too much.”

Cheng Chou: “???”

Jiang Hao, who happened to overhear the conversation as he approached, glanced at the rabbit.

Startled, the rabbit immediately declared to Cheng Chou with righteous indignation.

“Today, I want to carrots! Aside from carrots, Lord Rabbit won’t eat anything else!”

Cheng Chou: “…”

Jiang Hao didn’t pay much attention to the rabbit but instead inquired if Cheng Chou had any news.

After some investigation, he learned that the Tianyin Sect seemed to be suppressing Tianqing Mountain in their conflict, capturing many Tianqing Mountain disciples in the process.

They were thrown into the Lawless Tower and then sent to the mines.

Hearing this, Jiang Hao felt that this was even more cruel than killing them.

After getting a general understanding, he returned to his residence.

He was also very tired these days. If anything happened to the Spiritual Medicine Garden, he would definitely be held accountable, and if something happened elsewhere, the pressure would all come down on him.

He was afraid that the puppets might come again. But now, things should be fine.

As for leaving the rabbit in the Spiritual Medicine Garden, well, it was at the initial stage of Foundation Establishment after all.

It could be somewhat useful.

The most relaxed moment could also be the most dangerous.

With the Tianyin Sect fighting Tianqing Mountain, Jiang Hao didn’t feel the external pressure, only the pressure of his own duties.

Overall, this period had been relatively stable.

Although he hadn’t had time to earn spirit stones, he had picked up quite a bit in terms of cultivation.

【Name: Jiang Hao】

【Age: 20】

【Cultivation: Early Golden Core】

【Cultivation Techniques: Tianyin Hundred Revolutions, Primordial Heart Sutra】

【Divine Abilities: Nine Revolutions Death Replacement (unique), Daily Appraisal, Clear Heart and Pure Mind】

【Vital Energy: 47/100 (cannot be cultivated)】

【Cultivation: 49/100 (can be cultivated)】

【Divine Abilities: 1/3 (cannot be acquired)】

“Halfway there, in a few more months I should be able to try advancing to the middle stage of Golden Core,” Jiang Hao thought as he looked at his status panel.

However, he wasn’t sure if the coming months would be as stable as now.

The advantage of cultivators is their long lives, but the downside is that enemies also live long and can hold grudges forever.

It’s not so easy to cultivate peacefully at Duanqing Cliff.

Without dwelling on it further, he took out the “Heavenly Saber Seven Forms” intending to comprehend the second form, Mountain Suppressor.

He had been contemplating the first form recently and had roughly mastered it.

Moon Slash was a pure attack, with a blade so sharp and unstoppable that it could not be resisted.

What he lacked now was actual combat experience.

Only through actual combat could he refine the blade in his hand and the intent behind his swings.

This was hard to achieve through contemplation alone.

Having reached this point, he could begin to comprehend the second form.

Unlike the first form, after a few days of contemplation, Jiang Hao realized that the essence of Mountain Suppressor was in the suppression.

With the overwhelming momentum and the weight of mountains and seas, it suppressed the enemy.

After an initial understanding, he took out some poetry to nourish and refine his blade.

The Primordial Heavenly Saber also had a certain heaviness to it, making it very suitable for the second form of the Heavenly Saber.

……

A month later.

Jiang Hao opened his eyes, walked out to the courtyard, and started heading outside, collecting his qi along the way.

The rabbit, which had been lying next to the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower, immediately followed.

“Master, where are you going so early? Take me with you. People on the road will give face to Lord Rabbit,” the rabbit said as it followed Jiang Hao.

“If you sneak out and cause trouble, don’t say you’re mine,” Jiang Hao replied softly.

He really didn’t know the rabbit had this kind of personality; otherwise, he would have found a way to suppress its awakening intelligence.

“No worries, from now on Lord Rabbit will cover for you. You just focus on being the master,” the rabbit boasted shamelessly.

At that moment, Jiang Hao stopped and stood quietly by the stream.

After a short while, his momentum built up. He held the poetry of the Primordial Heavenly Saber in his hand and then gently lifted it.

The rabbit was initially puzzled, but in the next moment, it felt an overwhelming and vast momentum from the blade.

As the blade swung down, it seemed to see an endless range of mountains pressing down.

The imposing force was terrifying and overwhelming, so much so that the rabbit was pressed to the ground on the spot.

Then, Jiang Hao struck down towards the stream.

Thud!

A heavy sound echoed, and at first glance, the stream seemed unharmed.

But upon closer inspection, one could see that the stream had stopped flowing.

Then, with a loud bang, the water was divided into countless droplets, which were propelled towards the sky due to the repelling force.

After a long while, the water fell back down, and the stream returned to normal, except that the pebbles and debris in the stream had also disappeared, leaving it impeccably clean.

Looking at all this, Jiang Hao smiled.

Mountain Suppressor was stronger than he had thought.

However, it required building up momentum and was not easy to use in an emergency.

But he could prepare the blade in advance, and the impact wouldn’t be too great.

Nonetheless, he couldn’t get carried away and needed to keep his mind steady.

Afterwards, he put away the Primordial Heaven Saber and headed towards the Spiritual Medicine Garden.

Having initially mastered the second technique of the Heaven Saber, he now needed to focus on earning spirit stones.

Not only did he have to buy tea leaves, but he also needed to purchase a saber.

The Half-Moon was struggling to withstand the power of the Heaven Saber and had developed cracks again.

As he approached the Spiritual Medicine Garden, Jiang Hao stopped; Liu Xingchen, whom he hadn’t seen for several months, was waiting for him ahead.

Something must be about to happen. He had a bad feeling.

“Junior Brother, it’s been a few months. I’ve heard you’ve made some achievements again,” Liu Xingchen greeted him with a smile.

“It’s just part of my duties, nothing noteworthy,” Jiang Hao replied, shaking his head.

Liu Xingchen gestured for Jiang Hao to walk with him towards the Spiritual Medicine Garden.

As they moved forward, he spoke earnestly.

“Mu Qi has been injured in the mines.”
