Chapter 1546: Chapter 1546: Do I Know Them?

Pat!

Jiang Xiaobai and Qin Ruonan were directly thrown out by the Giant Spirit God. Standing up, Jiang Xiaobai dusted off the dirt from his body with a relaxed expression.

This time, it was not to truly find out the details of the event, but to probe.

“Indeed, just as I thought, it’s not so simple; it’s definitely not the work of a foreign race.”

“With the terrifying strength of Heavenly Court, and the presence of the Three Pure Ones, with Hongjun Ancestor taking action, how could it be overturned by a foreign race?”

“Although we didn’t find out anything, it does prove the situation is quite troublesome. It seems necessary to continue increasing strength.”

Jiang Xiaobai muttered to himself.

No matter the situation, regardless of whether he could find a way to prolong his life somehow, increasing his strength was inevitable.

He certainly didn’t want to go through the trouble of awakening Ao Yan from her slumber only to find out the world was about to be destroyed.

He might as well be dead in that case!

No matter what, boosting strength and getting prepared is always a good thing.

At that moment, a key was thrown in front of Jiang Xiaobai. Qin Ruonan looked at him with an exasperated face.

“Here’s the key for you. Next time you come by yourself, if I accompany you inside again, I’ll be a little dog!”

“It infuriates me, do you always have to push people to the brink? Look at us, we’ve been thrown out. When have I, Qin Ruonan, ever been so humiliated as a demon master?”

Compared to Qin Ruonan’s indignation, Jiang Xiaobai was rather nonchalant, as if he hadn’t just been the one thrown out.

“It doesn’t matter, I don’t care!”

Jiang Xiaobai waved his hand dismissively, completely unconcerned, since he had already discovered what he wanted to know.

Although this trip to the secret land allowed him to see a lot relating to the era of Heavenly Court, he knew this was not the real secret.

There were even more secrets behind, which he currently had no way to explore; to do so would be a waste of time.

Considering he only had one year left to live, and perhaps even less by now, how could he afford to waste time on this?

At most, he would gradually increase his own strength while preparing a bit, just in case he found another way to extend his life later on.

After all, one must always keep a glimmer of hope for oneself.

“You really are asking to be beaten!”

Qin Ruonan clenched her teeth and immediately came at Jiang Xiaobai, pummeling him with fists and kicks: “I don’t care, today I’ll make use of another favor you owe me, and I’ll vent by giving you a good beating!”

Qin Ruonan seemed slightly driven mad by Jiang Xiaobai.

The light punches landing on him, Jiang Xiaobai naturally didn’t feel a thing. In fact, he was even thinking about whether to start absorbing resources to increase his strength right now.

He had acquired quite a few resources from the encampment in the secret land!

“Have you hit enough?”

After ten or so minutes, Jiang Xiaobai looked indifferently at Qin Ruonan: “If you’ve had enough, I’m going to cultivate now. Don’t waste my cultivation time, since my lifespan is not long.”

“You’re aware that you don’t have much life left?!”

“I thought you were now as immortal as heaven and earth!”

Qin Ruonan said irritably, then straightened out her clothes, no longer minding Jiang Xiaobai, who lay on the ground like a beaten dog.

Qiongyu and the rest, standing to the side, acted as if they saw nothing, each turning to go about their own business.

Jiang Xiaobai got up, dusted off his clothes, and was just about to start cultivating when suddenly, Qin Ruonan received a message from a strong figure in the Demon Cave.

A fight involving an Immortal Emperor had broken out in the secret land, apparently over some contest.

“Immortal Emperor powerhouse?”

Gu Ning furrowed his brows: “It seems those two fellows are searching for something in the secret realm. Could it be those strange eggs?”

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone was taken aback, wondering if these two were working for the remnants of other races!

“What do we do then? Right now, many Immortal Emperors are fighting fiercely over there. If we go, won’t we just be cannon fodder?”

Jiang Xiaobai raised an eyebrow: “I can’t beat an Immortal Emperor.”

He had a clear understanding of his own strength. Despite currently overpowering Immortal Venerates with just a few moves, he was still far from the Immortal Emperors!

They are the true embodiments of the Heavenly Dao, capable of mobilizing the power of the Heavenly Dao, the real force of the Heavenly Dao!

“No worries, regardless of what they are fighting over, we have to go to the Earth Immortal realm anyway. Just block their way there directly.”

With a light chuckle, Gu Ning said: “Xiaobai, you focus on your cultivation. Your master will go have some fun first. It’s been a long time since I’ve dealt with such fellows. I’m a bit itching for a fight.”

For a moment, Jiang Xiaobai couldn’t help but feel pity for those Immortal Emperors causing trouble.

Provoking this person might not lead to good outcomes.

He could even imagine those Immortal Emperors being pinned to the ground by Gu Ning, their faces filled with shock and regret.

Soon after, Gu Ning disappeared from sight, and Jiang Xiaobai also walked into the small courtyard to begin organizing his gains.

“The resources from the Heavenly Court era are indeed different from now. Just like immortality crystals, but the energy contained within them is unprecedentedly powerful. One of these crystals is comparable to many Xuanwu crystals!”

Jiang Xiaobai muttered to himself, even more curious about what that era was like.

The energy density of immortality crystals from the Heavenly Court era is completely different from the present, which suffices to prove how powerful the Heavenly Dao was back then.

What kind of world was it, where strong individuals were found everywhere?

“Forget it, what’s the use of worrying about this? With so many immortality crystals, should they be enough for me to breakthrough to the Hunyuan Daluo level?”

Jiang Xiaobai mused and kept a small portion of the immortality crystals for later use. After all, he had many people following him, and he couldn’t favor one over the other.

Shortly after, Jiang Xiaobai began to circulate his technique to absorb the power of the immortality crystals.

The others knew that Jiang Xiaobai was cultivating and didn’t disturb him. They also started to cultivate on their own.

They were well aware that once Jiang Xiaobai successfully completed his cultivation and emerged, it would be time to head to the Earth Immortal realm.

…

Meanwhile, in the Nine Heavens Continent, Elder Jianyuan finally managed to get in touch with Jiang Xiaobai and his crew!

“Oh, I was wondering what had become of you. So you went to the secret realm. I thought you had already gone to the Earth Immortal realm.”

Elder Jianyuan murmured to himself, then immediately had AnRan and the others, who were resting at the Tianji Pavilion, called over.

“Alright, now that we know Jiang Xiaobai’s whereabouts, that kid is in the Demon’s Den. Over here is a teleportation array to the Demon’s Den. You can just head over to find him.”

Elder Jianyuan said with a smile: “Unexpectedly, the companions by Jiang Xiaobai’s side are also exceptionally outstanding. Good, good, no need to worry about the kid struggling to adapt in the Earth Immortal realm.”

Upon hearing this, AnRan and the others could only chuckle without saying much.

Joking, wherever their boss goes, there’s no need to worry about him fitting in too well!

An absolute rule, no matter where he goes, he’s bound to stir trouble. If not, he wouldn’t be Jiang Xiaobai!

“Thank you, old senior, for looking after us these past days. We’ll take our leave now!”

AnRan greeted with folded hands, then excitedly followed, heading towards the teleportation array.

Fascinated, Huseng trailed behind with eyes wide open.

“Jiang Xiaobai… this name sounds so familiar.”

“Is it someone I know?”
