Even Jiang Hao was curious. Borrowing an opportunity was a peaceful and easy option.

He and Zhang had become immortals in a similar manner.

Was there a difference?

Dan Yuan was silent for a moment. “That has been a topic for debate for years. Some people feel that immortals who advance by chance are not strong enough. Many people tend to become immortals by themselves. Only then can they walk out of the Great Dao.”

Dan Yuan looked at the people below and said with a smile, “What do you all think?”

“I think it’s better to become stronger step by step,” said Gui.

Liu thought for a moment. “If I have the opportunity to become one, I will take that. It’s much easier and my energy will be better utilized to become stronger if it is aided by an opportunity.”

At that moment, Xing said, “Becoming an immortal is more like breaking open the immortal path by yourself. Becoming an immortal by chance is like someone helping to open the immortal path.”

“Zhang, what do you think?” Dan Yuan asked.

“The difference shouldn’t be too big,” said Zhang. “Immortals are immortals anyway.”

Dan Yuan nodded and smiled. “Immortals are immortals. It doesn’t matter how you become one. What’s important is how you use your power after becoming an immortal. It also depends on your mental state. At the end of the day, you walk your path alone. It becomes harder to break through and advance further after becoming an immortal, but it’s not impossible. That’s all.”

Jiang Hao understood that becoming an immortal was like stepping into a whole new cultivation world.

It did not matter how they became an immortal. What was important was what they did after becoming one.

Since Xing had brought up the question, he must have encountered something.

He was wondering if he should avail that opportunity too.

Some people would go to any extent to become an immortal.

There would be other opportunities, but they were rare.

Jiang Hao understood why it was so important. It was a world of difference between being an immortal and an ordinary cultivator.

He looked at the people in this gathering. They were all geniuses with outstanding talent.

“What’s wrong?” Dan Yuan looked at Jing. “Do you have any questions?”

“What does the owner of… that thing want in return?” Jiang Hao asked.

Since he had taken the cauldron, he naturally had to pay the price.

Dan Yuan smiled when he heard that. “The item belongs to the Mountain Sea Sword Sect in the North. If they ask for the price to be paid one day, I’ll tell you immediately, Friend Jing. Is that alright?”

Jiang Hao nodded.

He realized that Dan Yuan was always serious about his job. He could be trusted.

If there was no request from the other hand, he would not have to worry about it.

That was good news.

The others were curious about what Jing had received, but they did not ask.

“Do you have any news about the Ancient Lands?” Dan Yuan asked. The others shook their heads.

It was their first time hearing about it. How could they have any news about the Ancient Lands?

Gui thought for a moment but did not say anything.

She could ask about it later.

At the Blackheaven Sect, the news spread that Smiling San Sheng had exchanged a dragon egg to borrow the Xuanyuan Sword for a while.

That dragon egg had hatched too! There was a True Dragon in the Blackheaven Sect.

The Ancient Lands were the Dragon Clan’s place, and as the descendant of the Dragon Clan, the True Dragon might somehow be related to it.

Jiang Hao was interested in the Dragon Clan but not the Ancient Lands.

The most important thing for him to focus on was still his condition.

The other problems could wait. He did not need to worry about other things too much.

After that was the trading segment.

Jiang Hao noticed that everyone was quiet. No one had anything to trade. So, they skipped it and moved to talking among themselves.

“Fellow Disciple Jing, is the Heavenly Extreme Dream Pearl still in your hands now?” Gui asked.

The others all looked at him.

Jiang Hao realized that everyone had been waiting for this moment.

The trading segment was not important.

“It’s in my hands,” he said.

Everyone was shocked.

Although they had guessed it, they still could not help feeling shocked.

“What happened?” Gui asked.

The others felt relieved. Gui was indispensable for the gathering. She always asked the right questions.

Jiang Hao said calmly, “The Heavenly Extreme Dream Pearl brought about something called the new world. There was a guardian named Long Tian. He can control the new world. The Human Emperor’s Palace suppressed him.”

Jiang Hao did not explain further.

Gui and the others guessed the rest.

The Human Emperor’s Palace had lent power to suppress the new world, so Jing was given a chance.

“Then, did it affect your condition?” Gui asked.

Jiang Hao nodded. “It seems that if you hold more than two powerful items together, you suffer the consequences. I can give one of the pearls to you.”

Everyone was speechless.

Everyone understood that the three pearls had reacted and caused problems.

Gui and the others did not want to do anything with those pearls. They did not want to collect ill-fated things like Jiang Hao.

They wanted to live.

“So, two pearls are with you, and the other one is with Jiang Hao?” Xing asked.

Jiang Hao said, “Only sometimes.”

The others were puzzled.

After all, there was still the matter with Smiling San Sheng.

No one tried to ask for more details.

“After the incident with the Dragon Cave and the Heavenly Spirit Tribe, only the Great Thousand God Sect and the Twelve Heavenly Kings were active in their plan. The people of the Great Thousand God Sect headed to the South. The important members should be there now. The Twelve Heavenly Kings are working hard to become immortals too. I heard they want to give it their all.”

“I heard that one of the heavenly kings is still in the Heavenly Note Sect, right?” Gui asked.

“Yes.” Liu smiled. “Heavenly King Hai is in the Heavenly Note Sect and refuses to come out of there. The other eleven kings are trying to take his seat so they can proceed. It might be difficult for them with one of the kings missing, but they are still willing to try to become immortals. If it is impossible to do so, they might try convincing King Hai Luo again.”

The Twelve Heavenly Kings were powerful, but with Hai Luo acting out, their status had taken significant damage.

It made people feel that the Twelve Heavenly Kings were not that impressive after all.

They looked down on Hai Luo because he was trying to throw his life away just for a woman.

Heavenly King Hai Luo was considered the worst among the heavenly kings.

Jiang Hao felt the same.

Heavenly King Mu Longyu was always diplomatic and impressive, especially when compared to King Hai Luo.

However, it was not easy for the Twelve Heavenly Kings to become immortals. After all, the heavenly kings had great luck and were connected to the twelve sea areas.

It was almost impossible for them to break through to the Immortal Ascension Platform with one missing.

Jiang Hao lowered his head in thought. ‘The fate of the Twelve Heavenly Kings…’

He needed a similar fortune to become an immortal. He could not afford to wait.

The Twelve Heavenly Kings could have become immortals long ago.

He wondered if their power could help him advance. Perhaps he could advance along with the twelve kings.

But…

It seemed that it was even harder for the Twelve Heavenly Kings to become immortals than him.

He could ask around to find out more.

Hong Yuye always had an answer to everything.

After that, Gui talked about some things happening in the South. Most of them were about the rise of the Blackheaven Sect.

If the sect was given another few decades, they might be on par with the Heavenly Gate Sect. In another one or two hundred years, they could even surpass the Heavenly Gate Sect.

Xing talked about the situation of the Fallen Immortal Clan. The Bright Moon Sect had discovered their location. They were busy fleeing and had no time to pull another stunt.

Zhang told them that the Mountain Sea Sword Sect in the North had been involved in a huge fight.

Someone from the Astronomical Academy had rushed over to help.

After that, they talked about other trivial things before the gathering ended.

Jiang Hao knew that Gui had delivered the letter.

He had wanted to find some Saint Bandits for her.

Unfortunately, he was too late. Liu had already found them for her, and he had been absent from the last gathering.

Jiang Hao decided to go to Lawless Tower tomorrow.

Last time, Yan Shang had been confident that she had Jiang Hao under her control. This time, maybe she would think twice.
