Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness Chapter 334: The Undercover Agent Of The End Of All Things

Chapter 334: The Undercover Agent Of The End Of All Things

As Jiang Hao observed the changes in the courtyard, he felt puzzled.

At first glance, there wasn’t much difference.

The Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower had six leaves now, but there were no other significant changes.

The several lotus flowers remained unchanged.

The Immortal Peach Tree was still taller than the surrounding walls, but it hadn’t yet borne fruits.

The bamboo grove had become even more lush.

Other than these, there were no other notable changes in the courtyard.

He checked the formation, but there were no problems.

‘How did the spiritual energy become so dense?’

He knew there was a Spirit Gathering Formation here, and the spirit herbs and Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower could nurture spiritual energy.

However, it had become much denser. It was like suddenly being surrounded by thick fog.

Jiang Hao walked into the house. In any case, he needed to check other areas first.

The golden ring was still there, the bathroom showed no signs of being used, and the cultivation area had no traces of being disturbed.

After thoroughly inspecting both inside and outside, Jiang Hao realized that the only change was the increased density of spiritual energy.

It seemed like a good thing, but he needed to observe further to know the details.

Jiang Hao sat in his courtyard and began to communicate with the golden ring he had left in the Corpse Realm.

As expected, the communication was successful.

However, he was unsure if he could go there or what would happen if he did.

He decided to go to the Lawless Tower and ask Zhuang Yuzhen.

But first, he needed to inform his master about his return.

When he arrived, he saw that Mu Qi had also just come back. Ning Xuan was there too. There was also an unfamiliar man with them. The man looked cold and aloof.

Mu Qi and Ning Xuan greeted him.

“Senior Brother Dongfang, h.e.l.lo.”

Jiang Hao also bowed in greeting.

This man was Dongfang Ji, the one who went with them into the Corpse Realm. His cultivation was indeed formidable.

However, Jiang Hao was only an inner sect disciple at the peak of the

Foundation Establishment Realm, so it was better not to get too involved with them.

Dongfang Ji nodded in response. The four people then entered Master Ku Wu Chang’s courtyard together.

Jiang Hao followed them. He couldn’t help but feel that something was strange about Dongfang Ji. It seemed like there were faint traces of green light around him.

That green light was exactly like the aura of the Earth Extreme Heart Devouring Pearl.

‘It’s about to disappear… But why would Senior Brother Dongfang Ji have a remnant of the aura of the Earth Extreme Heart devouring Pearl?’ Jiang Hao was confused. He used his Daily Appraisal ability.

[Dongfang Ji: A True Disciple of the Heavenly Note Sect. His cultivation is at the middle stage of the Soul Ascension Realm. He is an undercover agent of The End of All Things. After submitting Earth Extreme Heart Devouring Pearl, he will be qualified to go overseas and become an internal member of The End of All Things. He is somewhat interested in you.] ‘Undercover agent?’ Jiang Hao was astonished.

Dongfang Ji was actually the one who had obtained the Earth Extreme Heart Devouring Pearl and was undercover for The End of All Things organization within the Heavenly Note Sect!

Jiang Hao recalled Xue Yue. Her life had been tragic, and Dongfang Ji also had a tragic past. Maybe The End of All Things approached people with tragic lives.

However, what surprised Jiang Hao was the fact that Dongfang Ji had agreed to go undercover for them.

‘Also, why would he be interested in me?’

Jiang Hao thought it might be because of the mine.

At that time, The End of All Things had set their sights on the mine. When the conflict with Shang An arose, several members of The End of All Things died, and the Earth Extreme Heart Devouring Pearl was destroyed.

Jiang Hao happened to be acquainted with Shang An’s group. Therefore, Dongfang Ji might have some interest in him.

Jiang Hao felt relieved.

However, there was one very important thing that needed to be addressed. He needed to get the spirit beast to retrieve the secret code.

After meeting his master, Jiang Hao left.

The other three stayed behind.

He didn’t know what they wanted to discuss.

He went straight to the Lawless Tower and headed to the fifth floor.

A whole year had pa.s.sed, and the number of people here had increased.

A woman was in a cage this time. Her hair was disheveled, and her cultivation had dropped to the early stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm. If she fell any further, she would have to leave the fifth floor.

In contrast, Hai Luo and Zhuang Yuzhen, one at the late stage and the other at the early stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm, hadn’t changed at all throughout the entire year.

The two people sat silently with lowered heads as though they were trying to conserve their energy.

Thud, thud!

Jiang Hao knocked on the door twice.

Zhuang Yuzhen struggled to lift his head. When he saw Jiang Hao, his eyes lit up.

“It seems you’ve gained quite a lot.”

He had indeed gained quite a lot. He had supposedly leaped from the late stage to the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

“Finally, someone who we can talk to. These people were useless! They couldn’t touch the depths of my heart at all. Do they think I’d want to share information with them? What a joke!” yelled the Heavenly King and glared at the guards.

“You’re just a little brat who relies on selling out your companions. Otherwise, you would have been thrown to the lower level long ago,” Zhuang Yuzhen said disdainfully.

“You’re one to talk! You, at the early stage of Primordial Spirit Realm, are no match for me. I can defeat you with one strike of my hand!”

“Actually, this time I want to ask some questions about the Corpse Realm,” said Jiang Hao.

“Go ahead. Ask.” Zhuang Yuzhen was curious about what Jiang Hao had encountered inside.

After some thought, Jiang Hao asked, “Is there a place in the Corpse Realm that connects to other s.p.a.ces?”

“Yes.” Zhuanz Yuzhen nodded. “However, such places are extremelv rare. Even

if you accidentally enter them, conflicts between both sides are unlikely to occur. It’s full of illusions. Some special monsters can shuttle through these s.p.a.ces, but they also face significant restrictions. It’s challenging for them to appear in the Corpse Realm. If you leave before the pa.s.sage closes, there shouldn’t be a problem. If you are unable to leave… no one knows what could happen. I have never heard of anyone attempting that.”

“I see…” Jiang Hao nodded.

However, what he had felt was so clear that he doubted they were just illusions.

He decided not to be rash for his own safety.

After mining for so long, he hadn’t seen any such monsters coming out of the cave.

“Is there anything else?” Zhuang Yuzhen asked.

“Is there such a thing as an extraordinary genius in the Corpse Realm?” Jiang Hao asked.

Zhuang Yuzhen looked excited. “Did the extraordinary genius appear?”

“It seems like it.” Jiang Hao nodded.

“What actually happened?” Zhuang Yuzhen asked eagerly.

“Is an extraordinary genius that important?” Jiang Hao was puzzled.

“Of course,” Zhuang Yuzhen said. “Since our sect opened up the Corpse Realm, there has only been one extraordinary genius about two hundred years ago. It was only then that the term “extraordinary genius” was used.”

Zhuang Yuzhen looked confused. “Weren’t you in the Blood Tide Forest? How did you know about the extraordinary genius?”

“The extraordinary genius was suspected to be in the Blood Tide Forest, and Heavenly Stele Mountain appeared in the Blood Tide Forest for that person. It was said that the mountain teleported to the Blood Tide Forest just ten days after appearing in another region.”

“Impossible!” Zhuang Yuzhen found it hard to believe.

How could such a thing be possible?

“It happened. What’s so different about an extraordinary genius?” Jiang Hao asked.

“The difference lies in the topmost stone tablet. Others have to climb up themselves, but the extraordinary genius can directly reach the top. And this is just the beginning,” Zhuang Yuzhen said with a sigh. “After going up, there are two possibilities..”
