Chapter 665   - 665: Fear

Jiang Hao felt somewhat embarrassed when he listened to Liu talking about him.

The story he told differed significantly from what had actually happened.

If the truth was revealed, he would indeed have a hard time staying here.

Fortunately, it was Smiling San Sheng, and that made it somewhat easier for Jiang Hao.

However, when Liu mentioned the name, everyone turned to look at Jiang Hao.

‘Don’t look at me!’ Jiang Hao sighed inwardly.

At that moment, Gui asked the question everyone had been thinking of. “Friend

Jing, what did you bring out from the Abyssal Sea?”

Jiang Hao felt that Xing and Liu were both sighing in relief at the question.

With Gui around, it was convenient for all of them to ask the questions they all wanted the answers to.

“It’s just a small item. Nothing more important than returning to its original owner,” said Jiang Hao

Everyone began to speculate on their own.

Because Gui was in the southern region, she was most concerned about these matters. Did returning it to its rightful owner mean that Jing had been planning something related to the Abyssal Sea?magic

Why did this item appear? Was it because the Heart of the Ancestral Dragon would resonate with it? Then, why did the Heart of the Ancestral Dragon appear at all?

It was because the Saint Bandits’ seal had been broken.

But why was the seal broken? It was because the Xuanyuan Clan was beginning to rise, and the Grand Earth Emperor was about to appear.

The Grand Earth Emperor’s appearance was due to the emergence of the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment and the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl.

Jing had been involved in both of those events.

The only unknown thing was how the Xuanyuan Clan had risen. But it was certain that someone had helped the Xuanyuan Clan. Everything was connected…

For a moment, Gui was filled with fear. If her speculation was true, then everything was related to Jing. Could he be the mastermind behind everything?

All of these events started when Jing arrived in the southern region. In just over a decade, the southern region had undergone earth-shaking changes.

At that point, Jing’s mysterious persona was becoming even more apparent, at least for Gui.

Seeing their surprise, Jiang Hao felt somewhat relieved. It was best not to ask too much.

However, he had not lied. He had returned the pearl to its rightful owner. It was already with Xiao Li, and it had little to nothing to do with him.

“Friend Jing, are you still overseas?” Dan Yuan asked.

Jiang Hao shook his head. “I’m already in the southern region.”

Gui’s face changed. That meant Nine Nether was in the South right now.

For some reason, she was suddenly less afraid than before.

When the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl had appeared in the South, she had been worried. When the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl also appeared in the southern region, she felt that her life was over. But with Nine Nether in the South, she didn’t care.

If one of the items exploded, everything would be annihilated.

“In that case, Friend Jing, you should pay attention to the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl. You have some affinity with such ancient items,” Dan Yuan said with a smile.

Jiang Hao nodded in agreement. He had already sensed it once, and it seemed to be nearby. He would pay attention to it, even if Dan Yuan had not mentioned it. Regardless, he did not want to take any risks.

After the gathering, they talked about other news. Most of the discussion revolved around the Heavenly King Hai Luo and Shang An.

Xing’s words caught Jiang Hao’s attention.

This made him think of Liu Xingchen. For a moment, he wondered if Liu Xingchen had gotten himself into trouble.

The meeting ended. Jiang Hao learned that Gui was planning to search for the Xuanyuan Sword, which might have something to do with the person she was looking for.

Xing and Liu, on the other hand, did not seem to have any intention of doing so.

Inside the wooden house, Jiang Hao opened his eyes. He immediately took out a notebook and began recording the Freedom Technique.

The Freedom Technique could be divided into three categories: the technique itself, the Free Form Body, and some introductions to it.

The technique was only described up to the Primordial Spirit Realm, but the Free Form was complete. The introduction to it provided a more comprehensive study.

He wrote down everything. Fortunately, he had a good memory, but he was afraid he would forget it after a while.

“The Freedom Technique is indeed remarkable. It firmly believes in one’s own path and strengthens one’s beliefs and freedom from constraints. It’s not suitable for me, but it could be useful for others.”

If he taught it to someone else, there shouldn’t be a problem. After all, Jing and Jiang Hao were related in the eyes of those at the gathering.

The main issue was whether the Clear Sky School would intervene. It was their technique, after all.

However, the Clear Sky School was in the eastern region and had almost no presence in the southern region. It was challenging to control something from that great a distance.

It was just that recently, people from the Clear Sky School were in the South. It was troublesome to teach someone else the technique.

After that, he read about the Free Form. It was about condensing an avatar, which required transferring of Primordial Spirit. Unlike the Great Thousand Spiritual Avatar of the Great Thousand God Sect, it could not act independently. The advantage was that it could be nourished by the main body’s power.

Strengthening the clone would also nourish the main body and ensure that the cultivation realm remained high. Therefore, no matter which body he used, it would not significantly affect his overall strength.

“Very powerful, but unfortunately, I don’t cultivate avatars.”

Jiang Hao shook his head. He cultivated the Hong Meng Heart Sutra, which didn’t need avatars.

After that, he read the introduction to Freedom Technique. Most of it was about abilities, and it was impossible to determine Liu Xingchen’s level from it.

It was only when he saw the section on “The Gifted” that he was alarmed. Many people practiced the Freedom Technique, but only a few were suitable for it. Those who could cultivate a Freedom Spirit were extremely rare.

The Freedom Spirit was unrestrained, vast, limitless, and extremely rare.

Everyone who cultivated the Freedom Spirit was a disciple of the Clear Sky School, not because only they could do it, but because they were chosen by the sect.

The Clear Sky School didn’t conceal the Freedom Technique. Anyone who had received the knowledge could cultivate it. However, those who cultivated the Freedom Spirit were easier to keep an eye on.

Jiang Hao was stunned. It seemed that the Freedom Spirit was related to the Clear Sky School.

“So that’s how it is.” Jiang Hao was surprised. “In that case, could Liu Xingchen have a Freedom Spirit? That’s why he was able to suppress those remnants all along. If he were to combine it with some treasures, he would be even more powerful.”

“But I’m not sure if Liu Xingchen really has a Freedom Spirit. If he does, how could there be problems with his spirit and aura?”

Jiang Hao shook his head. He couldn’t find an answer. But the probability of him having a Freedom Spirit was high.

After that, Jiang Hao began recording the details of the gathering.

There wasn’t much, but it was evident that the southern region would face issues in the future. For now, it seemed unrelated to the Heavenly Note Sect. So, he could focus on growing spirit herbs.

At the Hundred Flowers Lake, a figure in red and white sat in a pavilion and gazed at the moonlight. There was a cup of tea beside her.

After some time, she finally said, “Is there any news?”

Baizhi, who had been waiting for a while, respectfully said, “We’ve found a target. ”

“You found Feng Hua?” Hong Yuye looked at Baizhi.

“The situation with Feng Hua is more complicated than expected. We’ve only found some of their avatars so far. We haven’t located their main body. However, we received information from overseas that due to internal conflicts in the Heavenly Tower, a powerful individual sought refuge in the southern region. We plan to capture him and obtain more information from him,” Baizhi said..
