Chapter 778 - 778: Imitating The Stars In A Palm Ability
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The Infinite Sword was not an ordinary sword. Jiang Hao could tell with just one glance.
However, such a sword would undoubtedly attract attention from the Mountain Sea Sword Sect.
He didn’t need the trouble it would cause if he held onto it.
However, sealing it away was a bit disappointing.
It would be better to keep it for now.
The destined person was obviously Jian Wuji, who was unconscious presently.
As for whether he would want it back, that remained to be seen.
People had their own pride.
So, he didn’t directly hand it over to him but left it impaled in the ground.
Jiang Hao looked toward the stone stele.
This stone stele had no content, but he didn’t care about the secrets it held inside.
He just wanted to wipe it clean.
Last time, he hadn’t finished wiping it, so he couldn’t afford to miss it now.
Jiang Hao took out a piece of cloth.
The same cloth had wiped the Heavenly Blade, the Xuanyuan Sword, and many other steles.
He began wiping the stele on the spots where he had wiped before, and white bubbles fell from it.
These were insignificant.
Soon, he finished wiping the areas he had wiped before, but there were no blue bubbles.
He then started wiping the spots he had missed before.
[Cultivation +1]
[Lifeblood +1] ‘Here it comes…’ [Lifeblood +1]
He continued wiping.
[Cultivation +1]
Jiang Hao was shaken. There were quite a few bubbles.
However, after a few more wipes, they disappeared. Fortunately, shortly after, they reappeared.
Some time passed in this manner.
Jiang Hao stood desolately in front of the stone stele.
He finished wiping it.
He reached out to touch the stele and felt a bit regretful.
There wouldn’t be any blue bubbles appearing for several hundred years.
Only when enough time had passed would blue bubbles appear again.
Otherwise, there would only be white and green ones.
It would only be a waste.
Then, he sensed it. The stone stele changed.
The blank stone stele now displayed some figures.
Some held the sun and the moon, some danced with swords to cut rivers and lakes, some radiated the brilliance of sages, and some transformed into nine figures.
Within these figures, Jiang Hao saw a purple aura, within which sat a figure in meditation.
That was him.
Jiang Hao was quite surprised. It turned out there really was a figure inside.
But what use was this?
He looked at the various figures and eventually noticed that there were a total of eighteen figures left on the stone stele, three of which had dimmed.
Did the dimming of the three figures signify their deaths?
Jiang Hao was puzzled.
He withdrew his hand, and the figures disappeared.
Jiang Hao didn’t understand what was going on. He let it be since it didn’t affect him.
He then turned to leave.
It was time to return to mining.
Before leaving, he glanced at his interface.
[Lifeblood: 82/100 (can be cultivated)]
[Cultivation: 79/100 (can be cultivated)]
He was still a bit lacking, but it was close. Another one or two months of mining, and he could attempt advancing to a higher realm.
However, a question remained: would he still be safe after advancement?
With the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl, it shouldn’t be too dangerous.
But was it really okay to ascend to a higher realm under the influence of the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl?
Jiang Hao sighed. He was unsure of what to do.
Then, he headed down and found Dole. He left a message and disappeared from the spot.
He had to return.
Flying back would be a waste of time, so he teleported from there.
With the sub-ring in the mine, it was very convenient.
Once again, he appeared in the mine within the Thousand Feet Mountain.
After examining the surroundings, he began mining.
He wanted to ascend to the Immortal Ascension Platform. He couldn’t afford to miss opportunities here.
As for the spirit herbs outside, they were too ordinary and wouldn’t produce blue bubbles.
Jiang Hao mined eagerly.
One month later, around early August, Jiang Hao realized that there was still quite a way to go before he could advance. It would take him another month or so.
The yield from the mine began to decline.
Everything depended on luck here. Fortunately, there were other alternatives.
He lacked just over twenty points more.
He could try advancing to the Immortal Ascension Platform in one or two months.
He couldn’t go on accumulating bubbles because the bubbles would vanish if his cultivation points were at their max. It was wasteful. It was better to wait for other opportunities and continue digging.
Jiang Hao emerged from the mine and sat in the small wooden house that Dole had built. He discovered that he could indeed gather spiritual energy here, and the spirit herbs could survive.
“Dole’s talent in formations is quite high,” Jiang Hao said in surprise.
He found that many people had good talents in formations, but he was completely clueless.
Having spent too much time in the mine, his spiritual energy was completely depleted.
He needed to rest for a day or two and take care of the spirit herbs so that he could prepare himself for more digging.
Two days later, Jiang Hao resumed mining.
Seven days later, Dole and the others returned.
Jiang Hao gave them the ores he had mined so they could sell them.
Looking at the piled-up mountain of ores, Dole and Guan Zhongfei were shocked.
‘Everyone else is seizing opportunities at Heavenly Stele Mountain, and you’ve been mining the whole time?’ Guan Zhongfei didn’t dare ask that aloud.
“Friend San Sheng, did you have any trouble at Heavenly Stele Mountain?” Dole asked.
“No trouble at all. I just prefer mining,” said Jiang Hao.
Dole hesitated for a moment. He then handed over a book. “Take this.”
Jiang Hao was puzzled and took the book to take a look. He found that it contained various methods for forging.
This… he had no idea about it.
“This is the profound forging technique I comprehended. I don’t have talent in this area, so I’m giving it to you. Considering how skilled you are at mining, I assume you might be interested in this,” Dole said in a low voice. Jiang Hao nodded and accepted it. “Thank you very much, Friend Dole.”
“No problem.” Dole shook his head.
At that moment, Jiang Hao glanced at Guan Zhongfei.
The latter’s heart sank. He immediately said, “I comprehended a supernatural power called “Stars in a Palm.” Although I really want to teach you, it’s not recorded anywhere. I can’t teach it if I haven’t mastered it.”
“What’s it like?” Jiang Hao asked because the name sounded somewhat similar to the Universe in a Palm ability that he had.
“I’ll show it to you.” Guan Zhongfei reached out toward a distant boulder.
A force expanded and enveloped the boulder. Guan Zongfei then closed his fingers and withdrew his hand. The boulder shrank and was trapped in the palm of his hand.
Afterward, the force dissipated, and the boulder returned to its original size.
“You can’t sustain it?” Jiang Hao asked.
Guan Zhongfei shook his head.
Jiang Hao nodded. It seemed there was quite a gap in this ability when compared to Universe in a Palm.
The supernatural power did seem to imitate it.
However, the Universe in a Palm was just a technique, not a supernatural power.
Supernatural powers were difficult to teach, but techniques were easier to learn.
After thinking for a while, Jiang Hao began to imitate Stars in a Palm.
Since he knew how to use Universe in a Palm, he might be able to imitate it.
After a while, he reached out toward a stone. The stone shrank and was sucked into his hand.
He didn’t use any purple energy.
When the force dissipated, the stone returned to its normal size.
Guan Zhongfei was astonished. ‘Did he… just learn it?’
Jiang Hao wrote down his findings and handed them to Dole. “Senior Brother, please take a look at this. I feel like what I comprehended at Heavenly Stele Mountain is quite similar, but I’ve been feeling that something is not quite right.”
Dole agreed wholeheartedly.
After that, Jiang Hao went back inside to continue mining.
On the other side, Yin Xueni waited until Heavenly Stele Mountain disappeared, but the person she wanted to see didn’t appear.
She was puzzled.
Did he really not care about opportunities?
