Chapter 276: Where Did I Go Wrong?

    Hundred Bones Forest.

    In a somewhat dilapidated valley, many spiritual herbs were planted.

    Each herb seemed to be placed deliberately, creating a pleasing sight with a faint fragrance.

    The scent spread throughout the valley like a net covering the area.

    And at the center of the spiritual herbs, there was a courtyard.

    Bai Ye stood in the courtyard, contemplating the surrounding spiritual herbs.

    “Senior Brother, you should go back and rest. Master said you need to rest at this time,” said Fairy Lian Qin.

    “No rush,” Bai Ye shook his head, his brows slightly furrowed.

    “I don’t want to wait anymore, let’s go to Duanqing Cliff tomorrow. I need to confirm that matter; otherwise, I always feel uneasy.”

    “Do we need to be in such a hurry?” Fairy Lian Qin asked in confusion.

    “The curse has been lifted, and Master has helped you break it. Shouldn’t you rest and recover to your peak first?”

    Bai Ye shook his head, serious, “I can put aside other things, but I need to see this matter for myself. I am puzzled and need an answer. My intuition tells me that this answer is very important to me.”

    Lian Qin Fairy was somewhat puzzled, but she didn’t press the matter further.

    She pondered for a moment and then said:

    “The Corpse God Sect seems to be entering the Corpse Realm Flower with our people. Senior Brother, you had the chance, why did you refuse? Such opportunities are rare.”

    “Because...”

    Bai Ye was about to explain when he suddenly looked towards the valley entrance.

    In an instant, his pupils shrank.

    He immediately activated the formation, then raised his hand, and various defenses appeared around him, with treasures positioned in front of him.

    As Lian Qin Fairy looked on in confusion, a streak of purple light raced toward the courtyard from outside.

    Its speed was astonishing.

    Then the purple light struck the formation.

    Bang!

    The formation shattered on the spot.

    Only then did Lian Qin Fairy see that it was a purple long spear with its incredible speed and strength far surpassing that of a Golden Core.

    Whoosh

    With just a whistling sound, the purple spear had already reached in front of Bai Ye.

    Boom!

    In the moment the purple long spear struck, Bai Ye’s defenses crumbled like clay tiles and disintegrated instantly.

    In the blink of an eye, Bai Ye watched as his defenses and magical treasures were all destroyed.

    And under his gaze, the spear pierced through his belly.

    “Pfft”

    He felt a sharp pain.

    His body was lifted off the ground.

    However, after the spear had pierced through him, it did not continue forward but shattered with a loud bang, and countless Purple Qi covered Bai Ye in reverse.

    Then it merged into his body, wreaking havoc at will.

    The Purple Qi began its destruction from his limbs, surging into his inner body.

    Flesh was torn, meridians were crushed, and the Nascent Soul was assaulted.

    Blood dripped from his skin, and the intense pain made him scream.

    His bodily strength crumbled continuously in the face of the Purple Qi.

    With a loud thud, Bai Ye fell to the ground.

    Blood stained the earth red.

    His vacant gaze fixed on the night sky, he could clearly feel that the other party did not intend to kill him.

    Otherwise, this spear could have destroyed everything.

    “Where did I go wrong? Which step was mistaken?”

    In his weakness, Bai Ye could not figure it out.

    There was definitely a mistake somewhere.

    But where exactly?

    As he was about to lose consciousness, he heard the cries of Fairy Lian Qin.

    ......

    At the same time, a figure outside the Hundred Bones Forest paused under the moonlight, looked back once, and then disappeared into the night.

    ......

    Back at his residence, Jiang Hao’s thoughts were clear.

    Bai Ye would be severely injured for a while.

    At most, he would be unable to cultivate for a year, at least four months.

    So for safety’s sake, he would need to make a trip every five to six months.

    He could not damage Bai Ye’s foundation or kill him.

    Otherwise, given Bai Ye’s achievements and status, the Hall of Enforcement would make a big move.

    That would truly be a case of both sides losing.

    There was no need for that.

    It was enough to seal Bai Ye’s cultivation.

    It didn’t matter if he didn’t come out; sealing him for a hundred years meant there was no need to worry.

    Bai Ye would likely let go of the grudge in his heart.

    If he couldn’t let go, by then, Jiang Hao should be qualified to take action.

    After a hundred years, within the sect, he should be qualified to contend with the leaders of the various factions.

    By then, the person from Tianhuan Pavilion would also have to let go of their hatred.

    It’s just that he didn’t know if the other party could wait a hundred years.

    Because there was no news from the Charming Body, the person from Tianhuan Pavilion could act at any time.

    It was like having a knife hanging over Jiang Hao’s head, making him uncomfortable.

    It was a pity that he was not yet a match for them.

    But there was also no need to think too much about it for now.

    At least the danger from Bai Ye was gone, and he could deal with the rest one by one.

    The future was promising.

    At this moment, he glanced at his panel.

    【Name: Jiang Hao】

    【Age: 25】

    【Cultivation: Late Nascent Soul Stage】 Sёarch* The n??el Fire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    【Divine Abilities: 0/3 (cannot be acquired)】

    Late Nascent Soul Stage.

    Things were going smoother than expected.

    Afterward, Jiang Hao began to recover his state, as this time severely injuring Bai Ye had consumed a lot of his divine powers.

    He needed to return to his peak condition.

    ......

    Early in the morning, Jiang Hao took advantage of a gap in time to take out a formation and began to comprehend it.

    He activated his divine ability, Clear Heart and Pure Mind.

    However, it was still difficult to comprehend.

    The formation was surprisingly difficult, and without any basic knowledge, it was extremely hard for him to learn.

    And with formations, comprehension alone was not enough.

    But was it practical to ask those two to teach him again?

    It would only bring their dissatisfaction.

    For a moment, Jiang Hao took out the Secret Whisper Slate.

    “Speaking of which, isn’t it almost time for the gathering?”

    It had been more than half a year since the last gathering, so it should be soon.

    Probably within the next one or two months.

    “I wonder what task Senior Dan Yuan will assign this time.”

    Jiang Hao was actually somewhat looking forward to it, hoping it would be something he could complete or knew about.

    This feeling was somewhat good.

    Of course, the important thing was that “Liu” (Willow) should also be giving an answer by now.

    What exactly is the End of All Things?

    This way, Hong Yuye won’t ask too much about the progress.

    At this moment, the stone tablet showed the characters “鬼” (Gui/Ghost), “柳” (Liu/Willow), and “星” (Xing/Star), with the three discussing matters of cultivation.

    “Liu” mentioned that his Myriad Beings Form had already been cultivated.

    Now, all that was left was to determine the complete cultivation pathway and then use the Stellar Transformation.

    Jiang Hao hesitated for a long time before finally putting away the stone tablet.

    In fact, he wanted these people to teach him about formations.

    It must be said that his talent in the area of formations was truly average.

    Without relying on the stone tablet, who else could he ask?

    And they must also understand formations.

    After pondering for a long time, Jiang Hao thought of someone.

    “Come to think of it, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen him.”

    At this moment, he took out a Corpse Heart and added another layer of sealing to it.

    The Heavenly Extreme Calamity Bead was also taken out and sealed with another layer.

    Both of these items were terrifying to him; there could be no slip-ups.

    Today, after dealing with the spiritual medicines and selling the talismans, he planned to seek advice on formations from Zhuang Yuzhen.

    He wondered if Zhuang Yuzhen would be willing to talk properly.

    But no matter what, he had already completely grasped the other party’s lifeline.

    If Zhuang Yuzhen really didn’t cooperate, he could simply hand over the Corpse Heart to Elder Bai Zhi.

    In that case, Zhuang Yuzhen would have no chance at all.

    ......

    In the afternoon.

    Jiang Hao arrived at the Lawless Tower.

    Upon arrival, he saw two Senior Brothers escorting someone inside.

    It was a man with a big beard.

    Looking closely, the man’s cultivation was profound and not easy to discern, but he was seriously injured.

    His flesh was somewhat blurred.

    “A mere Tianyin Sect dares to ambush us; just wait, once all our people are here, we will completely annihilate you.”

    “You think a mere tower can hold me, Hai Luo? You’re simply foolish.”

    Jiang Hao: “...”

    He wondered if this person would still be so tough after entering.

    Making way, Jiang Hao greeted the two Senior Brothers with a bow.

    The two did not look over but continued to escort the person into the Lawless Tower.
