Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

Chapter 1414: Will The Demoness Use The One Heart Palm Again?

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Unique…” Jiang Hao murmured to himself.

Under the moonlight, the distant mountains and starry sea seemed to harmonize with the two of them.

Hong Yuye, in her red and white dress, stood with her hair swaying gently in the air.

Her eyes were as clear and bright as the moon and revealed nothing of her inner thoughts.

Jiang Hao lowered his head. His aura was restrained, and he was a little confused.

After Hong Yuye finished speaking, he just stood there.

He was still unable to resolve the doubts in his heart.

The Heavenly Blade was indeed a little amazing, but Hong Yuye did not explain just how amazing it was. He needed to find the answer himself.

Whether these answers were hidden within the blade technique or in the words of others remained unknown.

She also mentioned that he was unique.

Was his Heavenly Blade altered? Or was his comprehension different?

Jiang Hao inquired, but Hong Yuye did not answer.

Jiang Hao calmed his mind.

It appeared that Hong Yuye had no ulterior motives, and the Heavenly Blade indeed had no issues. It just had a special origin.

Moreover, very few had mastered the Heavenly Blade. Only a handful had done it.

Was “a handful” less than ten people?

He asked Hong Yuye.

This time, Hong Yuye only smiled mysteriously.

Jiang Hao did not understand her.

It puzzled him more.

“Is it something you can’t tell me, senior?” asked Jiang Hao.

“It’s not that I can’t tell you,” Hong Yuye said softly. “It’s just that some things are best discovered on your own. Hearing about it isn’t as impactful as experiencing it. Hasn’t it always been that you’ve learned and comprehended the Heavenly Blade on your own?”

Jiang Hao nodded.

Indeed, that was the case.

Hong Yuye had given him the book, and after that, he had studied it himself.

She had only ever asked him about his progress.

He had to rely on himself for the rest.

“How long will it take to understand the uniqueness of the Heavenly Blade?” Jiang Hao asked.

“Perhaps soon, perhaps a long time. It depends on your capabilities,” Hong Yuye casually said. “What did you feel when you saw the figure below?”

After a moment of thought, Jiang Hao said, “I wanted to test my Heavenly Blade against them.”

“That’s normal. You’ve never met anyone else who has mastered the Heavenly Blade. Naturally, you’d want to test your skills against them. Winning could refine your blade intent and could help you comprehend more of the seventh form. Or perhaps, by sparring with a master of the Heavenly Blade, you can swiftly grasp the final form,” Hong Yuye said.

“I’ve never seen anyone who has mastered the Heavenly Blade?” Jiang Hao looked at the person in front of him with curiosity.

“Don’t look at me. It’s different from what you’re thinking,” Hong Yuye said.

Jiang Hao thought to himself that Hong Yuye also knew the Heavenly Blade, but his lack of battle intent had other reasons.

“Meeting someone who has mastered the Heavenly Blade is extremely rare,” Hong Yuye said calmly as she looked at Jiang Hao. “If you miss this chance, who knows when the next opportunity will come?”

“Senior, do you mean I should challenge that shadow?” Jiang Hao asked.

“No.” Hong Yuye shook her head. Looking at the confused Jiang Hao, she slowly said, “You should challenge… the East Heavenly Pole.”

“East Heavenly Pole?” Jiang Hao was even more confused.

How could he challenge that?

Moreover, Tian Xun was only a shadow of the Master of the East Heavenly Pole. If it were the real person, how could he be a match?

Even if he was willing, would the other party even entertain him?

“Challenges between practitioners of the Heavenly Blade don’t involve cultivation realms. As for how to make him agree…” Hong Yuye took out a box and said, “Take this to issue the challenge, and he will agree.”

After handing the box to Jiang Hao, Hong Yuye continued, “Of course, it’s up to you whether you want to challenge him or not. This is the reward for the work you’ve done. I never let you do things for free. Moreover, the East Pole Heaven is still nearby. You can certainly issue the challenge if you want. In a few days, that person might leave. Even with the box, it’ll be difficult to encounter such a being.”

Looking at the box, Jiang Hao felt a little confused and hesitant.

When he saw Tian Xun, he indeed wanted to draw his blade, especially when he realized that the other party had used the second form of the Heavenly Blade.

He wanted to use the Heavenly Blade to suppress the other party.

It was a strange feeling.

He even felt that if he succeeded, his blade would undergo a transformation.

The blade technique itself would become extraordinary.

Hong Yuye’s explanation supported this.

To comprehend more of the Heavenly Blade, one needed to spar with another practitioner of the Heavenly Blade.

By “practitioner,” perhaps she meant a Master.

Jiang Hao looked at the box in his hand and felt momentarily lost.

He did not know what was inside the box, but he could not open it with the power of Hong Yuye sealing it.

Perhaps he could appraise it.

But no matter what, this thing was not simple.

It could even compel the Master of the East Heavenly Pole to agree to a duel.

This was a rare opportunity.

If he succeeded, it would greatly benefit him.

But what if he failed?

Curious, Jiang Hao asked about it.

“Fail?” Hong Yuye did not explain directly but asked, “What would happen to someone with an invincible heart if they suddenly lost?”

‘Their Dao heart would be damaged.’ Jiang Hao thought.

So, dueling the master of the East Heavenly Pole meant a significant boost if he won but a crippling blow if he lost.

The price to be paid was heavy.

Should he take the challenge?

The opportunity was rare, but did he need to push himself? Did he need to refine his blade through others?

“There’s no need to decide right away,” Hong Yuye said. “The challenge is rare but not absolutely necessary.”

“Senior, what do you think I should do?” Jiang Hao asked.

He wanted to know her opinion.

“Would you do it just because I told you to?” Hong Yuye asked.

“Senior, I know you’ll never harm me. Your guidance is a blessing for me,” said Jiang Hao to flatter her.
