Chapter 969: Did You Do Something Again?

In the Heavenly Spirit Tribe, a middle-aged man led a young man along the corridor outside a building by the sea.

“You’ve been dealing with a lot of things lately,” the middle-aged man said calmly.

His steps were steady, his eyes were cold, and he had a powerful presence.

He was the current leader of the Heavenly Spirit Tribe.

He was not the strongest in the Heavenly Spirit Tribe, but his leadership capabilities and his potential convinced everyone that he was the right person to follow.

“I did my best,” said Tong Wu and lowered his head in respect.

“You’re neither a pushover nor stubborn just because you are chosen. As expected of someone from the Heavenly Spirit Tribe,” said the leader and smiled. “We will find a way to send your mother’s memorial tablet to the ancestral hall. Although she was ordinary, her son is a prodigy. That’ll be enough. However, you still lack an opportunity to do something that would affect the entire tribe. I hope you understand what I am saying.”

Tong Wu lowered his head and said gratefully, “Thank you. I would rather die than refuse your instructions.”

“Alright. What you need to do now is to find the ancestral land,” said the leader. “You know that our Heavenly Spirit Tribe has two ancestral lands. One is known to us but is extremely difficult to enter, and the other is… unknown. It concerns the future of our tribe. You just need to find that place. We only have a rough location of the place. We haven’t been able to find it, let alone enter it.”

“The place should be in that area.” The leader pointed ahead.

“Will this ancestral land move again?” Tong Wu was surprised.

“Yes. It might, and it’s very difficult to know how or why. The things we know are because of the advantage of our bloodline. But still… we only have a rough idea,” said the leader of the tribe.

Tong Wu thought for a moment. “It’s not easy to find that place. Many places are forbidden to enter, especially for the tribe…”

“Don’t worry. As long as we seek it in peace, it’ll open its doors for us.” The leader chuckled. “Just do your best to find it.”

“Alright.” Tong Wu was excited. “I’ll not disappoint you.”

The leader laughed. “Alright.”

After Tong Wu left, the smile on the leader’s face disappeared.

“Any thoughts?” he asked.

He seemed to be talking to himself.

At that moment, a figure appeared in the shadow behind him.

“I can’t see any flaws, but there must be a problem. He just doesn’t know about it. Based on my findings, there are two possibilities. The first is that some people who can’t bear to see us regain our members are causing trouble. The other is that some people believe we’re incompetent and can’t destroy divine items, so they send people to interfere.”

The tribe leader smiled. “Let him search. Regardless of the possibilities, he probably doesn’t know that the place is much more complicated to find than he expected. Entering it is the least of his problems. That place isn’t for the Heavenly Spirit Tribe. Besides, he doesn’t even know how to activate the divine item. All those techniques were lost a thousand years ago. Even the Xuanyuan Clan’s techniques are fake.”

The tribe leader looked disdainful.

He was fearless.

The next day, Jiang Hao watched Hong Yuye leave with some regret.

She didn’t leave last night, but she didn’t fall asleep either.

He did not have the chance to appraise her.

However, he couldn’t rush these things.

Jiang Hao didn’t dwell on it and left the courtyard.

As soon as he went out, he saw the spirit beast face-down near the river. Its face was swollen and bruised.

When it saw Jiang Hao, it said, “Master, you’re shameless!”

Jiang Hao looked at the beast in confusion.

“Why do I, Lord Beast, suffer whenever she comes to visit you? She has no respect for me!”

Jiang Hao sighed. It was wailing about its bruised face again.

“Master, you have to work hard. Why don’t you find a mistress who is sweet and can birth a little version of you? At least, people will respect me then,” said the spirit beast.

Jiang Hao looked at it without saying anything.

He chuckled and walked toward the Spirit Herb Garden.

He asked about the Nine Nether.

“Little Wang already knows how to bark. It helps Xiao Li look after the courtyard at night. It bites those who are unfamiliar,” said the spirit beast.

Jiang Hao was a little surprised. The Nine Nether had changed so much!

When Xiao Li arrived at the Spirit Herb Garden, Jiang Hao saw that there was a little black puppy following her.

It ate the weeds and wagged its tail.

It was a little bigger than before.

Perhaps it wouldn’t take long for it to become a grown dog.

However, it fed on the spirit, and if it wanted to become stronger, it needed to feed on the spirit continuously.

It was not that easy to become stronger.

However, Nine Nether had an advantage in terms of mental fortitude. Perhaps he could take it along to the Dragon Cave. That way, even if there were traps, Jiang Hao would be able to deal with them.

He still needed Hong Yuye’s help for that.

He suddenly remembered that the One Heart Palm was still imprinted on his chest from the time he went to the Blood Pool.

The effects of the One Heart Palm were much more powerful than he had expected.

Jiang Hao stopped thinking about it and waited for the Dragon Cave to open.

A month later, around the end of September, Jiang Hao saw a message from Liu on the stone tablet. The Dragon Cave was about to open.

Many people had already started to head there.

Jiang Hao knew that it was time for him to go too.

He sighed and opened his interface.

He wanted to see how far he was from advancing to the next stage.

[Name: Jiang Hao]

[Age: 42]

[Cultivation: Peak of the Immortal Ascension Platform]

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

[Cultivation: 27/100 (can be cultivated)]

‘There’s still a lot to cover.’

He did not know how long it would take for him to advance.

“I have to find out what the Immortal Ascension Conference will be like as soon as possible.”

That information could not be found in the library pavilion. The level was too high.

Even if he could find something, it would only be a few words and would not be of much help to him.

He had to ask Hong Yuye or Gu Jin.

He could ask Hong Yuye anytime.

Gu Jin, on the other hand, was elusive.

‘Speaking of which, why hasn’t Feng Hua made a sound lately?’ Jiang Hao suddenly realized that Feng Hua had been very quiet.

Hai Ming had not come over to meet him.

It was as if he did not take Jiang Hao seriously anymore.

It was as if he was forgotten.

Meanwhile, he saw Gui and Zhang chatting on the stone tablet.

They mentioned that Yan Shang had disappeared, and the Sunset Immortal Sect was searching for her.

Jiang Hao was puzzled. However, at that moment, a gust of wind blew past.

A fragrance wafted along with the wind.

Jiang Hao, who had been looking at the stone tablet, was shocked. He looked back and felt a surge of power.

When he saw who it was, his aura instantly disappeared.

“Did you do something again?” Hong Yuye sneered.
