Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Looking at the box, Jiang Hao was a little lost in thought.

He was curious.

He was not scared because he had nothing to lose.

Only those who still had hope needed to be careful.

As for him, he had no hope of surviving, so he had nothing to fear.

“Fellow Disciple Jiang, let me ask you something.” Bi Zhu looked around. “Do you know anything about the current situation?”

Jiang Hao shook his head. “I think you think too highly of me, Senior Sister. I don’t know anything.”

“Really?” Bi Zhu felt a little regretful. “Are you okay?”

“Me?” Jiang Hao was puzzled.

“I mean, is everything okay here?” she asked.

Jiang Hao thought for a moment and realized she was asking about the pearls.

“Yes,” Jiang Hao said. “Do you want it?”

Bi Zhu’s face fell, and she took two steps back. “That thing belongs to you, fellow Disciple. How can someone like me even think of taking it on? It’s… getting late. We’ll leave now. I’ll leave the rest to you. That thing might bring you hope.”

‘Hope?’ Jiang Hao was surprised. ‘Is this for real?’

He thought she was just here to deliver something but did not know what she meant.

Then, he realized that the others at the gathering more or less knew about Jing’s situation.

“I’ll look for you someday once again when I have a chance to come here, Fellow Disciple Jiang.” With that, Bi Zhu pulled Qiao Yi with her and left quickly.

Jiang Hao felt regretful.

He had a hard time walking back.

Instead, he sat by the river and looked toward his house.

He sighed. ‘It’s so difficult to even reach my house.’

This was the first time he felt that it had been easy to come out of the sect but harder to go back in.

If no one helped him, he might not even reach his house before he died.

“Senior Brother?” Xiao Li ran to him anxiously. “I thought you… left!”

Jiang Hao reached out his hand. “Can you help me back to my house?”

After a while, Jiang Hao sat under the peach tree. It was October, and the tree had already borne fruit.

Xiao stared at the peaches on the tree. When Jiang Hao said it was okay, she went to pick some peaches. She picked three of them. One for herself, one for Jiang Hao, and another for Senior Sister.

However, she did not see the Senior Sister today.

“Where’s Beast?” Xiao Li asked.

“It went swimming,” Jiang Hao said.

When Hong Yuye appeared, the spirit beast had disappeared. It was probably hurled into the river.

Jiang Hao took out the box and slowly opened it.

There was no aura or light appearing from it. There was a small ancient cauldron inside.

There were some patterns on it. It was engraved with runes of the mountains and seas.

The edges were a little rusty.

“What is this?” He could not tell.

He immediately appraised it.

Since it was from the gathering, it was bound to be something extraordinary.

[Mountain Sea Merit Cauldron: The supreme treasure of the Mountain Sea Sword Sect. It is a divine item of all spirits. The first person with great luck in ancient times sensed that a great calamity would befall the world. He used the will of all living beings to fuse with the mountains and seas and forged the Mountain Sea Merit Cauldron. It absorbed endless years of merit. In every era, the person who held it was bound to be a person with great luck. It can break all evil and suppress the karma of heaven and earth. It had been hidden for countless years and was discovered by the Mountain Sea Sword Sect, which has carved a mark of the Way of the Sword. Only those recognized by them can use it. In order to obtain the Mountain Sea Merit Cauldron, several experts forcefully broke the mark. The mark will automatically be replenished upon contact with the Xuanyuan Sword. It can be used to comprehend the power of the Heavenly Extreme Pearl.]

‘Suppress the karma of the world?’

Jiang Hao looked at the cauldron in disbelief.

Could it be used to cure his condition?

But…

He would have to use great luck and power. How could he do that?

At the Hundred Flowers Lake, Hong Yuye asked Baizhi, “Is there any news?”

“Yes. I found something.” Baizhi lowered her head. “The Mountain Sea Merit Cauldron is in the Mountain Sea Sword Sect in the North. It’s their divine item. The Desolate Sea Pearl is in the Eastern Heavenly Abyss.”

“So, none of them are in the South…” Hong Yuye said.

“Yes… Maybe if we contact the people in the North…” Baizhi suggested.

Hong Yuye lowered her head and said nothing.

She suddenly sensed something and looked into the distance.

Then, she disappeared.

Baizhi was a little flustered as she watched the Sect Master leave.

She did not know if the situation was very bad.

In the courtyard, Jiang Hao was still trying to figure out how to use the cauldron when smelled a familiar scent.

Hong Yuye appeared right in front of him.

“Where did you get that?” she asked as she took the cauldron from him.

“A woman named Bi Zhu gave it to me. She said she was asked to deliver it here by someone else,” said Jiang Hao.

He also mentioned Wan Xiu and Si Cheng. He suspected that they were behind this.

Since they did not know how to get it to him, they sent it through Senior Dan Yuan.

In the end, Bi Zhu was tasked with delivering it here.

“It seems that many people are helping you,” Hong Yuye said.

“Thank you, Senior,” Jiang Hao said.

Without Hong Yuye, none of these people would have known about him.

A red aura covered the Mountain Sea Merit Cauldron.

Then, the rust disappeared, and a golden light appeared from within.

The cauldron slowly flew up and hovered above Jiang Hao’s head.

At that moment, she tapped on Jiang Hao’s forehead.

In an instant, Jiang Hao felt the golden light cover his eyes.

Then, he lost consciousness.

In a blur, he felt a golden light surrounding his body. The purple energy and the golden light resonated with each other and healed his body.

However, another force was destroying it.

Fortunately, the golden light was vast. It suppressed the destructive power.

His primordial spirit was also covered with the golden light.

He felt much better for a moment.

Jiang Hao felt as if he had spent a long time resting his feet.

When he opened his eyes, he found himself slumped over the table.

Hong Yuye was pouring a cup of tea.

“Senior Brother Jiang, you’re awake! You scared me to death!” Xiao Li heaved a sigh of relief.

Jiang Hao felt relaxed and rested.

However, his strength had not fully recovered.

He could feel that only a portion of it was back.

After sending Xiao Li away, Jiang Hao stood up. “Thank you, Senior.”

Although he had yet to appraise his own condition, he knew he was much better now. He would be able to survive.

As long as he had time, he had hope.

“You should thank the person who sent you the cauldron,” said Hong Yuye. “It seems that it was never used before.”

The Mountain Sea Merit Cauldron was a divine item owned by a legendary figure of ancient times. In the end, no one used it besides them.

Jiang Hao sighed.

At the Hidden Cloud Prefecture, Bi Zhu was sitting in a courtyard. She grabbed a handful of peanuts and threw them into a teapot.

Every single one of them found the teapot.

She was in despair. She did it again.

Suddenly, there was a sudden bang.

The peanut knocked against the teapot and fell out.

She was stunned for a moment before she threw another handful.

She was quite happy and threw two or three more.

Not one peanut landed in the teapot.

In an instant, she jumped up in joy.

She ran outside.

Qiao Yi was cleaning outside.

Suddenly, Bi Zhu ran and hugged Qiao Yi.

“It’s no more!” she squealed in joy. “Auntie Qiao, it’s gone!”

‘It’s gone?’ Qiao Yi sighed in relief.

She was still a bit disappointed that despite being in the Primordial Spirit Realm, she could not be of any help.
