Chapter 549: Letting Go Leads to Heaven Lock
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Jiang Hao was quite surprised. He looked at the envelope in his hands.
‘Luo Zhong sent me a letter?’
“Senior Brother Luo thanks you for the invitation you gave him in the past. He is finally able to repay you.”
The junior brother from the Candlelight Pill Pavilion took his leave.
Jiang Hao also recalled the senior he had sold the invitation card to.
‘Ah… I did ask him to do something. I didn’t expect him to actually do it.’
After a moment of thought, he put away the envelope and planned to read it on his way to the Lawless Tower later at night.
This little incident didn’t interest the other three. They continued guarding the mountain gate as usual.
At night, when it was time for his rest, Jiang Hao left on his sword.
On the way, he took out the envelope and started reading.
As he read, he was quite surprised.
The journey was very well-documented, with some twists and turns.
The real story began when they entered the Imperial City.
Luo Zhong heard that someone was going to replace the royal family, and he happened to be discovered.
The other party was incredibly strong. It was someone he couldn’t resist at all. Fortunately, that person wasn’t there to kill but to perform a sacrifice. A sacrifice of a living person.
When Luo Zhong realized this, he found himself bound to a sacrificial altar pillar.
The subsequent events were blurred. Many people were unfamiliar with Luo Zhong, and he only knew that the people here were attempting to take something from the royal family.
The Shangguan family was cooperating with them.
Midway, they were discovered by the royal family, who seemed to have set a trap, but these people had more tricks up their sleeves. They even managed to turn some members of the royal family to their side.
In this way, the royal family was severely injured.
At the critical moment, someone appeared. This person was as dazzling as a
galaxy. However, a hand emerged from the void and blocked this powerful person.
This battle lasted for several months. Originally, the royal family was bound to lose, but unexpectedly, someone else intervened and gave the royal family a chance to breathe.
Thus, a balance was achieved.
But the one who broke this balance was a man descending from the sky.
He carried a poisonous aura and had an ugly appearance.
However, his arrival was like a gentle breeze that radiated the brilliance of a sage and suppressed everyone below.
In the end, he apologized to everyone and then left.
Out of kindness, he saved all the people who were bound, including Luo Zhong.
Jiang Hao was somewhat surprised and continued reading.
Soon, he read that due to his good luck, Luo Zhong had the opportunity to confront the person and inquire about his name.
The visitor was called Shang An.
‘Shang An is in the south?’
Jiang Hao instinctively stopped. He felt worried.
He had sealed the Charm Goddess back then, and there was a certain conflict with Shang An.
If Shang An came looking for trouble, he didn’t know how to explain it.
Originally, it wasn’t a big deal. A person in the east and another in the south…
they would rarely interact.
But now that Shang An had come to the south, it was a different story.
Although Shang An wouldn’t likely do anything, strong cultivators were still powerful and unpredictable.
He sighed slightly. Jiang Hao felt that he should upgrade his strength as soon as possible.
However, he didn’t plan to change his plan.
For now, he would learn the Heaven Lock Technique first.
The rest of the things weren’t as significant.
Due to Shang An interference, the initiative was seized by the royal family.
And then, things calmed down.
Luo Zhong also found the person he agreed to meet and left together.
Now, he was living in a secluded place.
Jiang Ho also wanted to find a secluded place where no one would disturb him. He would tend to his spirit herbs and find mines.
Unfortunately, that was unlikely.
He laughed at himself and then arrived at the fifth floor of the Lawless Tower.
Upon arrival, he noticed that Hai Luo seemed a bit dejected.
But there was a gleam in his eyes as if he was secretly pleased.
Jiang Hao didn’t know what he was thinking and didn’t ask.
This time, he sat cross-legged in front of the third cell.
Nangong Yue frowned. This time, she didn’t feel anything. No storms or fluctuations like before.
The other two also didn’t understand what Jiang Hao was up to.
This time, Jiang Hao found that elusive feeling in the Lawless Tower.
But it was like an ordinary person facing the air. One knew that air existed but could never really see or concretely grasp it.
Almost an hour later, Jiang Hao left the Lawless Tower, watered the flowers in the courtyard, and then came to the mountain gate position, closing his eyes to rest.
He continued to sense the feeling in the Lawless Tower. Once he lost that feeling, all his previous efforts would be in vain.
A month later, in early December, Jiang Hao looked at his interface.
[Lifeblood: 100/100 (Can be cultivated)]
[Cultivation: 100/100 (Can be cultivated)]
He could advance, but he felt that he was about to grasp that elusive feeling.
It was possible to learn the Heaven Lock Technique.
Another month went by. In early January, Jiang Hao sat cross-legged in the Lawless Tower.
He was calm and serene.
Hai Luo and others were bewildered by Jiang Hao’s behavior.
They had no idea what he was doing.
Nangong Yue didn’t speak up, but she felt that the person staring at her was extremely unpleasant.
Jiang Hao was unaware of what the others felt.
At this moment, he felt as if he were standing in an infinite void. A wisp of white smoke floated around.
This was the key to the Heaven Lock Technique. Jiang Hao wanted to grasp it.
He reached out his hand incessantly to catch it, but he couldn’t get it.
Although he sensed the change in the aura and understood the extension of the technique, he couldn’t obtain it.
He didn’t know how long had passed when he put down his raised hand.
He had gained some understanding and felt some relief. He then opened his eyes.
The Heaven Lock Technique that had been stagnant in his body began to circulate.
Something was born out of persistence. The Heaven Lock Technique was this.
At the higher level of the Lawless Tower, Yinsha, who was resting, suddenly opened her eyes.
She felt a sense of urgency guiding her. It told her to go and meet someone.
She quickly left.
She had always been curious about who was important enough to attract the attention of the person deep in the Sea Fog Cave.
Initially, she thought she had to leave the Lawless Tower, or even leave the Heavenly Note Sect to find them.
However, when she arrived at the fifth floor, she found that the urgency was intense, especially inside the fifth floor.
“How is this possible?” Yinsha was puzzled.
She had been to the fifth floor many times. If that person was there, why wait until now?
It wasn’t until she saw a somewhat familiar figure that she realized it.
From the beginning, he had mentioned a figure, but others hadn’t seen anything.
She should have thought of it earlier.
At this moment, the figure turned around and greeted her. “Senior Sister Yinsha.”
In an instant, Yinsha felt the restraint on her body beginning to loosen.
“There’s something I need to tell you,” said Yinsha. “It’s from someone in the depths of the Sea Fog Cave. He left a message for you.”
After all this time, she could finally say it..
