Chapter 1074: The Demoness Wants To Take A Bath

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

At the Heavenly Note Sect, Jiang Hao removed the Phantom Inheritance Talisman. At that moment, the state recorded by the phantom talisman was far inferior to his original state.

He looked a little pale, but it was normal.

He had almost recovered completely.

His strength was still a little lacking, but it was much, much better than before. It made a world of difference.

At that moment, he thought of the rusted Mountain Sea Merit Cauldron.

He realized that the cauldron was in the center of his forehead for some reason. Power and luck kept pouring out of it.

He had reached a balance with the karma vortex.

But…

He was still amazed that Hong Yuye had appeared so fast. He had not done anything at all. How had she sensed it?

He felt that he had to be very careful from now on.

“What kind of treasure is this?” Jiang Hao asked.

Hong Yuye was drinking tea. She was back to her usual indifferent self.

Although nothing seemed to have changed, it felt like everything was different.

“The Mountain Sea Merit Cauldron…” Hong Yuye sipped her tea. “Rumor has it that it was forged by a great senior. He received the highest favor in the world. On the day he received it, no one knew what he used it for. It is said that he made a decision to save the world from some disaster. Although no one knew what disaster it was, everyone believed the great senior. That was how the cauldron came into being.”

Hong Yuye looked at Jiang Hao. “There is a huge amount of merit and luck inside, but for you, that is still not enough. You don’t have much time. The fortune and merit accumulated through numerous years may only be enough to sustain you for about twenty years. The vortex made by the three dangerous pearls isn’t a joke. One person holding all these pearls… even the Mountain Sea Merit Cauldron can’t compare to that.”

“Twenty years?” Jiang Hao asked.

Twenty years was a long time.

He could improve his cultivation realm in twenty years, so he should be able to buy more time.

As long as he was strong enough, he could break the karma vortex.

In addition, he had the Mountain Sea Seal. He wondered if it could be used to strengthen the Mountain Sea Merit Cauldron.

If it was useful, then the most important thing for him to do was to digest the Holy Master’s divine soul to make it stronger. He had to find Ming Yi to get the divine soul.

Digesting it required a lot of spirit stones. He had to sell some of his things.

“Is twenty years enough for you to advance to the Primordial Spirit Realm?” Hong Yuye asked.

“It should be enough.” Jiang Hao nodded.

Hong Yuye chuckled. “Your sect doesn’t seem to value you much.”

“Senior, you must be joking. I’m currently a candidate for the seat of the top disciple. I’m a little bit important,” he said.

After that, he drank his tea.

Hong Yuye looked at him and then at the peach tree.

“It’s time for another incarnation?”

“Yes. The last one.” Jiang Hao nodded.

“When can you go through with it?”

“I need some more time,” said Jiang Hao.

The incarnation of the Immortal Peach Tree was a complicated matter. There was always a possibility of failure.

If he had enough divine items, the rate of success would be higher.

Even if he succeeded, he still had to face another problem.

It would not bear fruit in a short period of time. Xiao Li would probably be very disappointed.

Hong Yuye sipped her tea. Her eyes were devoid of emotion.

After a while, she slowly put down the teacup.

“Go prepare the bath.”

Jiang Hao did not dare hesitate.

He no longer felt as though he was going to collapse.

When he was done preparing the water and flower petals, he walked out to tell her.

Xiao Li was no longer there. She might have gone back.

Hong Yuye stood up and walked to the bathroom.

She told Jiang Hao to wait outside.

Jiang Hao, who was sitting at the door, waited. When he felt she was in the tub, he appraised his condition.

[Status: The Heaven Extinction Gu Poison and Hong Yuye’s One Heart Palm are simultaneously involved in the karma vortex of the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl, the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl, and the Heavenly Extreme Dream Pearl. At the same time, with the vast luck of the Mountain Sea Merit Cauldron, it can maintain balance with the karma vortex. If the merit is exhausted after twenty-three years, the Mountain Sea Seal can strengthen the Mountain Sea Merit Cauldron.]

‘Twenty-three years.’

Jiang Hao felt that the luck from the Merit Cauldron was pouring like water.

With such huge consumption, he was worried that it would not last so long.

He did not think it would last up to twenty-three years.

Fortunately, the Mountain Sea Seal was of some use.

“In other words, I’m still plagued by bad luck, but great luck will help me stall for time…”

He felt that the cauldron was impressive if it could stave off the effect of the three pearls at the same time.

It was a pity that he had not wiped it clean.

Jiang Hao was not in a hurry.

Instead, he decided to test his aura and see what the upper limit of his power was.

He was only left with a portion of his strength, after all.

He condensed a power ball in his palm and finally tested out the early stage of the Immortal Ascension Platform.

“Fortunately, I can still fight with the Holy Master.”

With the Heavenly Extreme Dream Pearl and the Mountain Sea Seal, there should be no problem with the Immortal Ascension Platform.

He just did not know how to recover completely.

If he advanced, he might be able to do that.

Then, Jiang Hao checked his interface.

[Name: Jiang Hao]

[Age: 43]

[Cultivation: First Stage of the Immortal Ascension Platform]

[Cultivation Method: Heavenly Sound Hundred Revolutions, Hong Meng Heart Sutra]

[Divine Ability: Nine Revolutions Death Substitution (unique), Daily Appraisal, Clear and Pure Heart, Reappearance of Hidden Spirit, Divine Might, Revival of Withered Tree, Heavenly Cauldron, Indestructible Vajra, Myriad Nature Forest]

[Lifeblood: 24/100 (can be cultivated)]

[Cultivation: 24/100 (can be cultivated)]

[Divine Abilities: 0/3 (cannot be obtained)]

“I’m still too far from advancing… The most important thing right now is to upgrade the Mountain Sea Seal. Once I digest the two divine souls of the Holy Master, I might be able to improve my condition a lot.”

If it was just the Mountain Sea Seal, it would definitely be useless. However, it was different when it was combined with the Mountain Sea Merit Cauldron.

It could strengthen the cauldron by a lot.

Maybe in a few years, he could come up with a solution.

That way, he would have more time.

Raising his cultivation should also delay the misfortune by a lot.

Once he became an immortal, it would be even easier. But it would be much more difficult to become an immortal in this condition.

There was no hurry.

After that, Jiang Hao began to check how many treasures he had and how many he needed to sell to make around 1,250,000 spirit stones.

He was not sure if he could earn that much even if he sold all the treasures he had unless he could sell some important treasures somewhere else.

He could sell the pickaxes he forged. But he doubted if he could find anyone to buy them all.

However, as he searched in his storage treasure, he found something.

He was curious.

If he allowed someone to take away his current misfortune, would it break the balance he had achieved with the karma vortex?

If the balance was broken, would the Mountain Sea Merit Cauldron stop working?

After hesitating for a long time, he knocked on the door.

“What is it?” asked a voice from the inside.

“I have a question, Senior. If there is a magic treasure that can take away a trace of misfortune from a person, will it help or break down the Mountain Sea Merit Cauldron?” Jiang Hao asked.

There was only silence on the inside.
