Chapter 335: The Extraordinary Genius

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

What are the two possibilities? Jiang Hao sat cross-legged on the floor and listened attentively.

The truth is, the topmost stone tablet is blank, and it's also the most special one. This stone tablet can also be used for enlightenment, but the results are completely different. Back then, I also went up there. You should know that the entire Divine Corpse Sect, including me, only had seven people so far who managed to reach the top, Zhuang Yuzhen said.

At that time, I sat in front of the stone tablet and cultivated for seven days and seven nights. In the end, I comprehended a divine ability, which was incredibly powerful.

Jiang Hao felt envious.

Do you think that is a good thing? Zhuang Yuzhen suddenly asked.

Isn't it? Jiang Hao asked in return.

I thought it was a good thing at the time. Zhuang Yuzhen smiled bitterly. But when I returned with excitement to inform my master, he sighed. He told me that among the seven people who comprehended the stone tablet, only one person didn't gain anything. However, that person has already become one of the strongest in the Divine Corpse Sect, and all the others look up to him. So the true genius is the one who gains nothing.

Jiang Hao was speechless. What if an ordinary person happened to go up there?

At that time, I was unconvinced. Later, I went to meet that person. When he displayed his power and his aura, I understood the true difference in comprehending the stone tablet.

What difference? Jiang Hao was curious.

Shadow, Zhuang Yuzhen said earnestly. When I was comprehending the stone tablet, I saw some figures within it, and one of those figures was that person's. So, those who are truly recognized by Heavenly Stele Mountain will leave their own shadows.

Why is King Hai Luo so quiet today? The woman seemed to have woken up. She looked at Jiang Hao Just a mere Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator, yet you all give him such attention? Pathetic! Even though I'm weak right now, a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator is not even qualified to fetch my shoes.

Jiang Hao ignored her and continued to talk with Zhuang Yuzhen. After that, he

left.

On his way back, he thought about what he had learned.

He was well aware of his own talent.

He didn't entirely believe what Zhuang Yuzhen said.

'If there's no opportunity, and you only leave a shadow behind, what's the point?' Jiang Hao sighed and shook his head.

What he wanted wasn't to leave a shadow behind, but to gain divine abilities or something related to talismans.

Those things could benefit him. Leaving a shadow behind might be useful in the future or have some benefits for his reputation. However, those were the things he wanted to avoid. People might target him for it.

So, it was best to remain a diligent inner sect disciple and focus on his own affairs.

He had asked about what happened to those who stayed behind after the passage was closed. It seemed they disappeared and were never seen again.

When he returned to the courtyard, it was already evening.

As soon as he entered, he saw the spirit beast and Xiao Li sitting in front of the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower.

I have a way to call back master, the spirit beast said.

Really? Xiao Li was curious.

Everyone knows I never lie. Just watch, said the beast and sniffed the

Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower. It then reached out its tongue to lick it.

Just as its tongue was about to touch the flower, a familiar scabbard swung down and pinned its tongue to the ground.

The spirit beast looked terrified, and Xiao Li looked stunned.

Master! said the spirit beast.

Jiang Hao glanced at the beast. He then drew out his Half-Moon Blade. He noticed some cracks on the blade. It was probably from the time he had faced those two Primordial Spirit Realm cultivators in front of the mine.

'Golden Core treasure has done well against Primordial Spirit Realm cultivators until now'

Master, you returned so quickly? The spirit beast jumped up on the table.

Wasn't it you who called me back? Jiang Hao asked.

Then he gazed at the Immortal Peach Tree. Who ate all the peaches?

Xiao Li lowered her head and placed some white dates on the table. For you,

Senior Brother.

Jiang Hao tried it and found it tasteless. He gave them back to Xiao Li. He suddenly remembered that he had kept two pills from before. He checked it and found that it hadn't been damaged, so he gave them to Xiao Li.

After Xiao Li left, Jiang Hao turned to the spirit beast. What about the secret code?

Master, rest assured, my friends in the cultivation world all know about me. They will handle the matter without leaving any trace, said the beast.

The spirit beast hadn't caused any trouble so far.

Jiang Hao found out that a Golden Core Realm cultivator had come for the secret code on the third day after Jiang Hao left.

Didn't he discover you? Jiang Hao asked.

I have some talismans and concealing abilities. He definitely didn't detect me, said the spirit beast. Master. The Golden Core Ream cultivator doesn't seem to respect you at all!

So? There are so many experts who don't respect me at all, said Jiang Hao.

Master, you can't be like this. You need to work harder, said the spirit beast.

Jiang Hao ignored it. He asked about the Golden Core Realm cultivator.

He's from the Heavenly Joy Pavilion? Jiang Hao was surprised. Did he wipe out the secret code?

Yes. Not only did he wipe it, but he also left the mountain shortly after and hasn't returned since.

Jiang Hao wasn't concerned about that.

If he wanted to inquire about The End of All Things, he could always do it through Dongfang Ji even if it was a little dangerous.

Have Lin Zhi and Chu Chuan made any progress in the past year? Jiang Hao asked.

Chu Chuan has progressed quickly and has already reached the sixth stage of the Lifeblood Refinement Realm. Lin Zhi works very hard, but his cultivation hasn't changed at all, said the spirit beast.

Jiang Hao wasn't surprised by Chu Chuan's progress, but he was curious about

Lin Zhi's situation.

What do you mean there has been no change? Jiang Hao asked.

There's been no improvement in his cultivation at all, said the spirit beast with drooping ears. I don't know why, but his cultivation hasn't made any progress.

What about other things? Jiang Hao asked.

A lot more people have been bullying him more than before.

Jiang Hao was speechless.

It seems that his two friends rarely appear now, so many people have started bullying him. He was getting beaten up every day. I saw him hiding in a corner and crying secretly.

Isn't Lin Zhi around fourteen or fifteen years old? Jiang Hao asked. He's fifteen, and Chu Chuan is almost the same age, the beast said.

What about Xiao Li? Jiang Hao asked.

According to Cheng Chou, she is sixteen years old, the spirit beast said uncertainly.

Xiao Li still looked like she was still twelve or thirteen years old.

Jiang Hao wanted to ask some more questions, but he felt the stone tablet vibrate.

He checked it and found out that there would be a gathering tonight as soon as the Corpse Realm closed. It seemed like they were in a hurry to know about the sixth stone tablet.

'I also need to consider what questions to ask'

He would also receive the reward for his previous list.

If Hai Luo hadn't deceived him, there would probably be a reward waiting for him.

He took out some tea leaves and handed them to the beast.

The spirit beast looked delighted. It ate some of the tea leaves. Master, this is good! Is there more?

Jiang Hao was speechless.

Seeing the Spirit beast enjoy the tea so much, Jiang Hao wanted to try it himself..
