Chapter 1487: Senior, It’s Been A Long Time Since I Last Saw You (2)
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
They all looked at Senior Dan Yuan immediately.
Senior Dan Yuan shook his head. “We can’t control it for long. If no solution is found soon, the South will be in grave danger. Fortunately, it’s after the Great Era, or it would have completely spiraled out of control by now.”
Everyone sighed in concern.
“Can’t we get in touch with Jing?” Gui asked.
“What about the Heavenly Note Sect?” Liu asked.
Everyone knew that to contact Jing in the past, they usually reached out to Jiang Hao of the Heavenly Note Sect.
...
All eyes turned to Xing, who was the closest.
“I’ve already been there, but it seems he’s in seclusion,” Xing said.
With that, no one knew what else to say.
After that, Gui asked about the blade.
“It’s indeed the Ruins of Return,” said Senior Dan Yuan. “But that’s not the main body of the blade. We’re still uncertain about its true location.”
After that, Dan Yuan asked if anyone had any leads on those who could temporarily suppress the Heavenly Extreme pearls.
Of course, no one had any clue about this. Liu said that there was a huge change in the Ancestral Dragon’s Heart. It seemed to have weakened a lot.
Everyone was shocked by this. In other words, this incident might really have been caused by the Dragon Clan.
But the details were still unclear, and perhaps it was worth investigating the Ancestral Dragon’s Heart.
They discussed many things and realized that each time Jing was absent, there always was an issue with the terrifying pearls.
…
At the Heavenly Note Sect, Xiao Li sat cross-legged under the peach tree. She looked like she was cultivating, but in reality, she was already snoring.
However, in just a few months, she had advanced from the early stage to the peak of the Golden Core Realm.
Soon, he would become a Primordial Spirit Realm cultivator.
This speed of her advancement shocked Ku Wu Chang.
He was the first to notice, but he quickly took steps to conceal Xiao Li’s cultivation realm.
The speed of her advancement terrified him.
A genius beyond comprehension. He even began to have certain thoughts, but he quickly suppressed them.
If he felt this way, Xiao Li would be in grave danger once the rest of the sect found out.
Thus, he strictly forbade her from revealing her true cultivation realm.
She was to maintain the appearance of being at the early stage of the Golden Core Realm.
Logically, reaching the peak of the Golden Core Realm would not be too impressive, but to achieve this within less than half a year while only starting from the early stage was a different story entirely.
This was not a case of someone hiding their cultivation and suddenly revealing it. She had genuinely progressed step by step.
After all, she would come to him every few days for guidance. He was pleased when she reached the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm, but when she rapidly advanced to the late stage and then the peak of the Golden Core Realm, his satisfaction turned to unease.
He felt that this little girl before him was the most terrifying genius of the Heavenly Note Sect.
As for why she cultivated diligently these days, Xiao Li’s answer was very simple. It was to distract her from crying.
Thunk!
A peach fell from the tree and landed heavily on Xiao Li’s head.
“Ow!”
She rubbed her head and looked around. Her face lit up in joy when she saw that a peach had fallen at her feet. “I’m not greedy. This peach came to me on its own.”
She picked up the peach.
While eating it, she began to tidy up the courtyard and the house, though she avoided the second floor, where her Senior Brother rested.
Her Senior Brother had been resting for a long time. Her Senior Sister had said he would wake up, and she believed that wholeheartedly.
Therefore, after she finished cultivating, she often came here to tidy up and waited for him to wake up.
The spirit beast had said that her Senior Brother was in seclusion, and she agreed. It was true that those in seclusion were often out of sight.
But she had been afraid to sleep these days. When she did, she always dreamed of that green sun, and she vividly remembered the feeling of its sudden appearance.
So, each time, she would wake up with tears streaming down her face.
After tidying up, Xiao Li sat down under the peach tree and resumed meditating. The tree was laden with fruits, but she held herself back from eating any more of it.
She wanted to save them for her Senior Brother.
Once again, she closed her eyes to meditate, but soon after, something knocked against her head. It was another ripe peach.
Xiao Li quickly picked it up. “This one must be really sweet… I’ll save it for Senior Brother.”
She carefully wiped it clean and was about to put it away when she noticed a pair of shoes before her.
She looked up in confusion and froze.
A man in a dark blue robe stood there and looked at her curiously.
The moment she saw him, Xiao Li’s eyes welled up with tears.
Tears streamed down her face nonstop, despite her efforts to wipe them away.
Jiang Hao looked at Xiao Li, who was crying and was puzzled.
His face was pale, and his aura was chaotic. He was unable to cultivate after waking up, so he had come out for some fresh air.
He did not expect to see Xiao Li here, let alone see her cry when she saw him.
“Haven’t been eating well?” Jiang Hao asked gently. “You seem to have lost weight.”
“Senior Brother, I thought didn’t want me around anymore, just like my parents…” Xiao Li sobbed.
Jiang Hao looked at her. He had just woken up, and he was still a bit groggy.
He was not entirely clear-headed, but seeing her in tears, he guessed she might have had a bad dream or something.
Logically, she would not have been able to witness his death.
However, he was surprised that it took him so long to come back to life.
He was even more surprised to find himself in his courtyard.
“I won’t do that,” Jiang Hao said.
“Not even in the future?” Xiao Li asked.
Jiang Hao was silent for a while and then nodded at her.

“Really?” Xiao Li stopped crying immediately.
She then ate the peach in her hands.
‘Weren’t you saving that for me?’ Jiang Hao thought.
But as he recalled what he had gone through, he felt a bit sentimental.
He was not sure if it had been real or just an illusion created by some divine power.
But…
Jiang Hao fell silent.
He did not think about it too much. The important thing was that he was alive again, and that was good enough.
The rest of his memories were hazy.
He even felt like his subconscious had created the illusion of his survival after his death.
Sitting down at the wooden table under the peach tree, Jiang Hao invited Xiao Li to join him.
Then, he started brewing some tea with ordinary tea leaves.
“What month is it now?” Jiang Hao asked.
“June. Senior Brother, you’ve been asleep for almost six months,” Xiao Li said.
“How did I end up here?” Jiang Hao inquired.
“Senior Sister brought you back. The green sun appeared, and I was worried about you, so I wanted to find you. But then, Senior Sister showed up, and I fell asleep. After she brought you out, she brought us back here,” Xiao Li said simply.
Jiang Hao looked up at the green sun in the sky with emotion.
Jiang Hao then looked at his interface.
[Name: Jiang Hao]
[Age: 82]
[Cultivation: Peak of the True Immortal Realm]
[Cultivation Method: Heavenly Sound Hundred Revolutions, Hong Meng Heart Sutra]
[Divine Ability: Daily Appraisal, Clear and Pure Heart, Reappearance of Hidden Spirit, Divine Might, Revival of Withered Tree, Heavenly Cauldron, Indestructible Vajra, Myriad Nature Forest]
[Lifeblood: 0/100 (cannot be cultivated)]
[Cultivation: 0/100 (cannot be cultivated)]
[Divine Abilities: 2/3 (cannot be obtained)]
One of the divine abilities was gone.
For a moment, Jiang Hao felt a deep sense of loss.
He had that divine ability for nearly eighty years of his life. It had suddenly disappeared.
His lifeblood and cultivation points were also gone.
In the end, he sacrificed everything to deal with that True Dragon.
Jiang Hao then appraised himself.
[Status: Hong Yuye used her Dao Core to remold your body. Weakened. Afflicted by the Heaven Extinction Gu Poison (Yang Gu)]
‘Remolded my body?’ Jiang Hao was surprised, but why was he still afflicted by the Heaven Extinction Gu Poison?
If his body had been destroyed and had died, the poison should have disappeared.
So, why was he still poisoned?
Could the poison be embedded in his soul?
Jiang Hao was puzzled but did not think about it too much.
After that, Xiao Li told him that after they returned, she told everyone that he was in seclusion. Some people had come looking for him.
As for the green sun, she did not know too much about it.
After getting a rough idea of the situation, Jiang Hao told Xiao Li to go play on her own.
However, Xiao Li refused to leave. She was worried that he would fall asleep once again if she left.
Jiang Hao did not mind. He was just curious about how Xiao Li’s cultivation had suddenly reached the peak of the Golden Core Realm.
“I’m going to start cultivating seriously now,” Xiao Li said firmly.
Jiang Hao looked at her in understanding.
The next day, Xiao Li left.
The spirit beast came back and excitedly claimed that Jiang Hao was able to wake up because its friends in the underworld had blessed him.
Jiang Hao did not mind.
Instead, he focused on recovering.
At the beginning of July, Jiang Hao had returned to his peak condition.
The effects of death were gradually fading.
“It seems you’re all better now,” said a sudden voice from behind him.
It was the same as before.
Jiang Hao turned around to see Hong Yuye, who was dressed in her red-and-white gown and was sitting under the peach tree.
Jiang Hao looked at her for a long time before bowing respectfully in greeting. “Senior, it’s been a long time since I last saw you.”
