Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

Chapter 1411: Three Heavens Beyond Heaven (2)

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Bi Zhu was preparing to leave using immortal means, with Qiao Yi by her side.

But…

Before she could take a step, her body suddenly became immobile.

This abrupt change shocked Bi Zhu.

This was dangerous.

She could not move at all, and the power of her curses was also suppressed.

A Golden Core Realm expert!

“Senior, you’re actually a Golden Core Realm expert?” Bi Zhu turned to look at the old man in shock.

If she had known that he was so strong, she would have been more careful.

“Golden Core Realm?” said the old man. “Hm… so be it.”

As he spoke, he revealed his cultivation.

He was indeed a mid-stage Golden Core Realm expert.

Qiao Yi instantly felt great danger from him.

Bi Zhu’s face was ashen.

Things had taken a dark turn.

“Senior, do you have no interest in the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower?” the black-robed woman asked.

She paid little attention to others.

The old smoker lit his pipe and took a puff. “Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower? What’s that got to do with me?”

“No matter what, you are a senior of the Fallen Immortal Clan, a terrifying immortal at that,” the black-robed woman said.

The old smoker exhaled a puff of smoke and sighed. “The immortal you’re looking for has long been dead…”

“But I heard you were hiding here and not really dead,” said the black-robed woman.

“They didn’t tell you he died, and they were the ones who buried him,” said the old man with a smile.

“How could that be?” The black-robed woman did not believe it.

“Why not?” The old smoker put down his pipe and recalled the past. “I remember on the first day he died, his relatives shunned him, those who once revered him no longer showed up, and those who hated him celebrated with drinks.

“On the second day of his death, his body was nailed by the Nine Heavens Immortal Nails and buried under the Hundred Thousand Mountains. They watched his decaying body with relief as if a burden had been lifted.

“A year later, his body, suppressed by the mountains, began to rot. It was eroded by great forces. His clansmen watched his decay and discussed him over tea. Ten years later, fewer people watched his decay, and he was gradually forgotten.

“A hundred years later, there was nobody left. The mountains had completely crushed him, and the Nine Heavens Immortal Nails fell off. His name was vaguely remembered in the clan’s records.

“A thousand years later, the people who buried him also perished in great calamities, and no one remembered him anymore. Everything about him existed only in ancient texts. Ten thousand years later, when the Immortal Soul Lamp was rekindled, I appeared here. And I am myself, not him.” The old man laughed as he smoked. “So, you don’t need to find me. Although I was from the Fallen Immortal Clan, I am no longer one of them. As for that flower, it holds no interest for me. It may be precious to many, but it is useless to me. I will no longer get involved in the world’s turmoil.”

The black-robed woman was silent for a moment. Then, she lowered her head and said respectfully, “I really don’t know. However, do you really have no interest in the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower? It’s so near. It’s a pity not to go and get it.”

The old man smiled. “Do you really value the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower?”

“Isn’t that the case?” the black-robed woman asked. “Everyone does.”

“Looks like you’ve only just gotten your kin…” The old smoke man sighed. “Those deep inside haven’t emerged yet. Let me kindly tell you, the Fallen Immortal Clan shouldn’t be concerned with the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower, but rather the river outside the Heavenly Note Sect. Precisely, the source of that river…”

“The source of the river?” The black-robed woman was curious.

“Yes, the source of the river, the East Heavenly Pole.” The old man took a puff of his cigarette and sighed.

“You know about the Supreme Immortal Court. Establishing the Immortal Court is easy, but setting up a complete order is very difficult. It requires the suppression of all things on earth by the Three Heavens Beyond Heaven. The first of the Three Heavens is the East Heavenly Pole.”

“Three Heavens Beyond Heaven? What’s that?” The black-robed woman was a little shocked. “What’s the name of the other two?”

The old smoker shook his pipe and lit a new one. “You will know the second heaven when those old immortals from the Immortal Clan wake up, but the third heaven has always been a legend. No one has ever known where the third heaven is. But with this Great Era, the third heaven should also appear. It might have a name, but no one had ever encountered it.”

This was the first time the black-robed woman had heard of such a thing. Her goal had changed. Did she still have to trigger the River of Deathly Silence to find the East Heavenly Pole?

The Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower was just a passing opportunity.

The establishment of the Supreme Immortal Court also required the Nine Heavens.

Bi Zhu, struggling to cover her ears, was secretly listening.

She didn’t want to miss anything, but she was also afraid of being killed.

She had heard of the East Heavenly Pole.

This was the first time she heard of the Three Heavens Beyond Heaven. It was also the first time she heard about the Immortal Clan wanting to establish the Supreme Immortal Court.

The biggest gain was actually the Nine Heavens Immortal Nails.

“You can leave now,” said the old man.

The black-robed woman lowered her head, thanked him, and turned to leave.

She turned a blind eye to Bi Zhu as though she did not even exist.

She knew this was not her place to ask.

After all, she was a guest, and so was this person.

She could at least talk with this immortal, but if she recklessly said anything about silencing her…

She did not care about it and just focused on what she needed to do.

First, she would send a message back to her clan. Then, she would trigger the River of Deathly Silence.

Of course, since her Senior Brother had died in that river, she would not approach it recklessly.

She just needed to lure in that particular person with some information.

After the black-robed woman left, Bi Zhu could move again.

She covered her ears and smiled. “Senior, I didn’t hear anything.”

“The curse on you is really powerful. Is it valued by that person?” the old smoker asked with a smile.

Bi Zhu smiled sheepishly and did not respond.

The old man pointed at the tobacco. “Will you still be delivering that to me in the future?”

“I will. Even if I don’t have time, I’ll send someone,” Bi Zhu said seriously.

“How many years can you deliver it for?” the old smoker asked.

“Until I can no longer control the business around here,” Bi Zhu said with a sigh. “No one paid their respects when you died, Senior. I want to know where your grave is, so I can pay my respects.”

“You want the Nine Heavens Immortal Nail?” The old man chuckled as he smoked.

Bi Zhu hurriedly waved her hand.

But soon, a map appeared in her hands.

It was the map of the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

It was just a little different from what she knew.

This was a map of the South, but the mountain was not on a regular map of the southern region.

She thanked him and put it away.

The old man puffed his smoke, waved his hand, and told her to leave.

Bi Zhu did not dare stay longer.

She immediately arranged for someone to deliver tobacco daily to the old man. The tobacco would not be just any tobacco, but the best she could find.

If there were not any available, they would develop it.

Money was no issue.

After arranging that, she and Qiao Yi studied the map and prepared to head to the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

With the Nine Heavens Immortal Nail, she would have a deterrent force in her hands.

Then, her life would be much easier.

…

In the Heavenly Note Sect. Jiang Hao sat cross-legged in front of the River of Deathly Silence.

His mind was always underground.

There were many auras here, and they all pointed to one place.

Even though that place was elusive, he had locked onto it.

At the source, there was a blurry figure which absorbed life force and immortal energy.

The figure absorbed everything that fell into the River of Deathly Silence.

Shortly after Chang Ji died, some demon beasts began to appear in the surroundings.

They kept approaching the River of Deathly Silence and falling into it with a burst of death aura.

If it were not for the three people setting up formations in secret to suppress it, the River of Deathly Silence might have already created a catastrophe.

Mainly, the river was too large, and they could not intercept every demonic beast.

They were suppressing death energy while intercepting demonic beasts.

Occasionally, they would search for the source of the demonic beasts.

But there was no progress.

Jiang Hao had also searched but found nothing.

That person seemed to have created the demonic beasts and had vanished.

Jiang Hao could not do anything about it.

Of course, he could sweep away the demonic beasts, but the demonic beasts became alive again when they entered the River of Deathly Silence.

He needed to observe, so he allowed the demonic beasts to attack.

As for the River of Deathly Silence, he could suppress it later.

Once the river showed signs of erupting, he would step in to suppress it.

Of course, if it was too overwhelming, he could not suppress it. However, he would not allow such a situation to happen.

That day, after enough demon beasts entered the River of Deathly Silence, Jiang Hao noticed the figure becoming clearer.

As he looked, the figure’s eyes also turned toward him.

In an instant, their eyes met.

Jiang Hao felt a sense of danger.

Not only that, but he also felt that if he showed any fear, he would be pursued. He might even be in danger.

Jiang Hao took out the Heavenly Halberd.

Gu Jin, who had suppressed the world for thousands of years, should be able to teach him a lesson.
