Chapter 967: I Can’t Go Back Anymore

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Under the moonlight, Jiang Hao landed in the courtyard.

He looked at the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower and remained silent for a long time.

It was because of this flower that he had started getting involved in all sorts of things.

However, at some point, fewer and fewer people paid attention to the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower.

Liu Xingchen had long since stopped paying attention to it. Instead, he had become more interested in Jiang Hao.

The spirit beast that was sent to find the flower had become Jiang Hao’s pet, which helped guard the flower.

He didn’t know what was going on with Senior Sister Ming Yi. She hadn’t been here for a long time, and she wasn’t an ordinary person either.

Although her cultivation realm was not very high, she was good at scheming. There was always a knife hidden behind her smile.

If he underestimated her, he would fall into a trap that he wouldn’t come out of.

Time did not only make a person let go of a person’s resentment but also their purpose.

Almost no one was targeting him presently.

At the very least, the people from the Sunset Immortal Sect would no longer keep an eye on him.

Even though Heavenly Saint Sect was still behind him, their matter was not urgent.

At the end of the day, they didn’t take him seriously.

Slowly, they would completely forget about him.

He wasn’t a very noticeable person. As long as nothing big happened, he wouldn’t attract anyone’s attention.

It was hard to say anything about the Fallen Immortal Clan. After all, someone had once spied on the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl.

Therefore, the matter wasn’t simple.

The Heavenly Joy Pavilion no longer targeted him. Even if some of the fellow disciples hated him because of Senior Sister Yun Ruo, it was time to let it go.

After all, he was already at the peak of the Golden Core Realm.

Jiang Hao sat down on the chair under the tree and took out a notebook to record everything from the gathering.

“Slow down. Look around and feel everything.”

“Even if you run, you can’t ignore your surroundings. Otherwise, your foundation won’t be stable.”

Jiang Hao wrote these two sentences in his notebook.

He just wanted to remind himself of it.

Then, he began to write other things he had found out.

Senior Dan Yuan only had one mission, which was related to the Dragon Clan.

Senior Dan Yuan had been looking for a dragon for a long time. Liu and Zhang seemed to be looking for it too.

There were also people from the Clear Sky School who seemed to be after the dragon.

“I feel like a lot of people are looking for dragons. I don’t know why.”

Jiang Hao wanted to find one for Xiao Li.

He wanted to see what was going on with Xiao Li.

The other mission was to find out the origin of the Archean Abyss Dragon Pearl.

Apart from Senior Dan Yuan’s mission, he was going into the Dragon Cave to fulfill Zhang’s task. The other thing was to find the divine item that could suppress the immortal seed of the Fallen Immortal Clan.

The matter was complicated. He might have to face the Great Thousand God Sect, the End of All Things, the Heavenly Saint Sect, the Heavenly Spirit Tribe, and the Fallen Immortal Clan together.

It was a highly dangerous task.

However, there were benefits too. He could wipe the divine items for bubbles as much as he wanted. It could also help him suppress the immortal seed of the Fallen Immortal Clan.

According to Gu Jin, that kind of thing was unavoidable.

However, Jiang Hao didn’t want to stop the Great Era War from happening. He just wanted to buy himself some time to avoid danger.

After writing down everything, Jiang Hao started reading his notes.

He stopped cultivating.

His cultivation realm couldn’t improve much. What he needed to do now was to calm his state of mind.

It would allow him to better understand his current strength instead of letting it affect his mindset.

Cultivation was not only about physical strength but also about strengthening the mind.

The sky had brightened.

The spirit beast was still sleeping soundly.

The sun’s rays were simply dazzling.

Suddenly, the spirit beast sat up in a daze.

Jiang Hao was a little surprised. Why did it suddenly wake up early today?

“Master, you’re up?” The spirit beast wiped its saliva and got up.

“Is Xiao Li here?”

“No. I haven’t seen her.” Jiang Hao looked at the spirit beast. “What are you planning?”

“Xiao Li is going to compete for the position of the top disciples. I want my friends in the underworld to help her. My friends will definitely help and clear a path for her. She’ll succeed in the selection round.”

Jiang Hao was speechless.

Wasn’t Xiao Li afraid of repercussions?

However, there was no problem if Xiao Li won. No one really wanted to challenge her openly.

After telling them not to fight recklessly, Jiang Hao let it be.

No one could compete with Xiao Li, after all. She would be fine.

Xiao Li was also a True Disciple.

None of her peers at the same level dared to fight her and win. She was someone who dared to sleep in the middle of Senior Kendo’s lectures.

Her reputation even surpassed that of the notorious spirit beast.

After that, Jiang Hao headed to the Spirit Herb Garden.

This time, he was not in a hurry. Instead, he walked by the stream and felt the changes in the water. He looked at the sunlight dancing on the stream.

Occasionally, he even stopped to watch the fish in the water.

When he came back to his senses, he realized that it was getting late.

He had to go to the Spirit Herb Garden to tend to the herbs.

He recalled that he used to do this when he was young. He would stare at others across the river but could never join them. He didn’t fit in with them.

When it was time, he would head back home to chop some firewood.

‘How many years has it been? Thirty-seven years?’

He felt bittersweet at the passage of time. It was unsettling how time passed. Many years and memories had been erased, just like that.

The place he had lived in, the places where he used to play with his friends… all were gone. They were distant memories.

Suddenly, he felt something strange.

After hesitating for a moment, he used Heavenly Secrets Hidden Talisman and left the sect.

After a long time, Jiang Hao appeared in Fallen City.

This city had also experienced the brunt of the passage of time. Everything felt old.

The last time he had been here, Hong Yuye had come with him.

In the past, he had not dared to leave the sect without her.

At that moment, he appeared in the city without a second thought.

He did not know why it had felt so strange.

The streets of Fallen City were not as lively as before.

Jiang Hao couldn’t find any familiar faces as he walked past one shop after another. Only the inn remained where it had been.

The roast duck restaurant that he liked had become a shop for clothes.

Hao felt disappointed, but there was nothing he could do.

The world moved on. People and things changed with time. And experiences became a distant past.

All that was left were bittersweet memories.

Jiang Hao arrived at his childhood home.

The door was tightly shut, just like before, and the surroundings were filled with unfamiliar people.

The place was surrounded by burly men.

“May I ask what is going on here?” Jiang Hao asked a man dressed in a coarse robe beside him.

He even handed over a spirit stone.

The other party was a little surprised and quickly waved his hand dismissively.

“Young man, you’re too polite. This place is about to be torn down. Minister Chen bought this land. He wants to build a large courtyard here.”

“Who bought it?” Jiang Hao was surprised.

The walls had fallen off. The place was old.

“Minister Chen. The place is very old, and there is no one living in it. Minister Chen is a kind person. He paid a lot for the people who were living here to find a better home.” The man sighed. “Well, I’m kind of busy. I’ll leave you to it.”

Jiang Hao nodded. He looked at the old house where he was born and raised.

He heard the crowd of men working together to dismantle the whole house.

“One, two, three… Now!”

Boom!

Jiang Hao raised his head as his childhood home collapsed.
