Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness - Chapter 1132: Asking the Demoness If She Is Lonely

On the surface of the sea, three figures appeared.

Two of them were men, and they walked side by side.

One was accompanied by a woman in a red and white dress.

She strolled without disturbing the two of them.

“Senior, you came to find me?” asked Jiang Hao.

The man who called himself The End of All Things resided in the Ancient Land.

Unless necessary, his avatar would not venture out on impulse.

“Yes,” said the man. “I also wanted to see if you would come.”

“It seems that I didn’t disappoint you, Senior,” Jiang Hao said with a smile.

The man who called himself The End of All Things smiled as he looked at the waves in front of him. “How far do you think you can go?”

“How far?” Jiang Hao suddenly stopped and looked at the endless waves ahead. “I don’t even know how far ahead the road is, so how can I determine how far I can go?”

“Indeed. I don’t know how far this road goes either, but it’s not easy. Have you thought about that?” The End of All Things looked at Jiang Hao.

Jiang Hao shook his head. “I just know to keep moving forward. No matter what the road ahead is like, I just need to take it one step at a time.”

The End of All Things smiled and did not dwell on this question. Then, he took out a jade pendant.

“Here is the reward I promised. I hope it can buy you some time.”

Jiang Hao took the jade pendant. He knew that this was a spell technique that would allow him to better conceal himself.

He had to appraise it.

With his current knowledge, he could not see through the traps left behind by the other party.

There was nothing he could do about it.

He could only rely on his divine powers to check.

For safety, he might consult Hong Yuye.

However, he had not done what he was supposed to do yet.

He needed to speak with the dragon of the Ancient Land and inform him about the Dragon Clan’s Heavenly Book.

However, he did not mention it.

The other party did not pay attention to it.

So, he accepted the item first and would handle the task later.

After all, this matter required time and opportunity.

It was fine as long as he remembered.

“The road after the Great Era is very long. You want to fight all the way up?” The End of Everything asked.

Jiang Hao chuckled but did not say anything.

“What do you think will happen if everything ends one day?”

“Wouldn’t that be because of you, Senior?” asked Jiang Hao.

“Me?” The End of All Things laughed and shook his head. “Perhaps I would play a part, but it would never be just me.”

“Why?” Jiang Hao was curious.

“No reason…” The End of All Things looked up at the sky. “The world is vast, and the end of everything is an unreachable goal. It requires more than just me, not just the end of all things, but the effort of all beings. Perhaps the one who helps me realize the end of all things is not another, but…”

“You.” The End of All Things looked at Jiang Hao.

Jiang Hao looked at the other party and smiled. “Then, Senior, you’ll owe me a favor.”

The End of All Things laughed.

The two continued walking forward.

“Hopefully, You are not him,” said The End of All Things again.

“If you say so, Senior,” said Jiang Hao.

It did not matter.

If they believed he was, they needed him to be.

If they believed he was not, they needed him not to be.

There was no difference.

When he had just struck out and saw the Five Demons dissipate, Jiang Hao realized he was sometimes too stubborn.

Perhaps he needed to relax and let go.

Things would become clearer after that.

“Do you have a question for me?” The End of All Things asked.

It seemed like he was just making casual conversation.

“Senior, have you heard of a stone tablet?” Jiang Hao asked.

“Never heard of it.” The End of All Things shook his head.

Jiang Hao was surprised.

“There’s no need for such a reaction,” The End of All Things said calmly. “I should have mentioned it before… Although I come out sometimes, most of me remain inside. I can’t answer too many questions, especially important ones.”

Jiang Hao nodded.

“Perhaps you can wait until my true body comes out,” said The End of All Things.

Jiang Hao glanced at him but did not say anything.

The End of All Things’ true body?

Gu Jin had killed this person before, but it did not mean this person was weak.

One had to know that Gu Jin had single-handedly suppressed the four regions, and no one was his match.

For such a person to kill someone personally meant that the enemy was formidable.

After talking for a while, the two of them parted ways.

Jiang Hao wanted to ask about the Dragon Clan.

After all, the other party said the Dragon Clan’s Heavenly Book was in his hands.

He might know a lot about the Dragon Clan.

Other than that, he also wanted to ask where the Heavenly Thunder was.

That was related to Xiao Li.

Unfortunately, he could not ask too much.

It would reveal too much.

As for the Red Dragon, he had never been to the Ancient Lands, so it was uncertain how much he knew.

Since he had seen The End of All Things, he could go find the Red Dragon.

He had come overseas to find the Red Dragon, but he was besieged by the Five Demons.

Five years later, the beef with Five Demons was finally settled.

It was lamentable.

In the past five years, he had made a lot of preparations to deal with the Five Demons.

Few people had made him prepare so much.

“Looks like you didn’t get anything out of him,” said Hong Yuye’s voice.

Jiang Hao turned to look at the woman who appeared beside him. He lowered his head and said respectfully, “He did give me a token of identity. In the future, it’ll be much more convenient to find people from The End of All Things.”

“Are you afraid of him?” asked Hong Yuye.

“I have to be wary of the strong.” Jiang Hao said seriously. “If I’m not careful, I won’t be able to do anything for you.”

“You weren’t like this when you fought those people on the island,” Hong Yuye said softly.

“That was with the identity of Smiling San Sheng.” Jiang Hao lowered his head.

“You’re really good at disguising yourself.” Hong Yuye chuckled.

“Thank you for your praise, Senior,” Jiang Hao said softly.

“You think that’s a praise?” Hong Yuye stared at him.

“Of course,” Jiang Hao said.

Hong Yuye looked at him but did not speak again.

The two of them left the sea and flew on their swords.

The breeze stirred Hong Yuye’s hair as she spoke again.

“Do you want to be Smiling San Sheng or an inner sect disciple of the Cliff of Broken Hearts?”

“I am already a true disciple,” Jiang Hao said.

“What do you want to be?” Hong Yuye asked again.

“I’ve always been Jiang Hao,” Jiang Hao smiled bitterly. “I’ve never changed.”

“Isn’t it good to be Smiling San Sheng?” Hong Yuye asked calmly.

“Young and arrogant, reckless and fearless, and a True Immortal at seventy-five who defeated Five Demons single-handedly. He dominates the seas with endless potential. Fame, power, wealth… there’s nothing Smiling San Sheng can’t have. Don’t you want to be such a person?”

Jiang Hao looked at Hong Yuye. “Senior, do you think I should be Smiling San Sheng or Jiang Hao?”

Hong Yuye narrowed her eyes.

Jiang Hao did not wait for her answer and continued. “My desires have never changed. I just want to help take care of your flower and live peacefully. This world is so vast. Smiling San Sheng is just one person who is number one right now. In the future, there’ll be someone else. No matter how outstanding he is, he’s part of the changing times. In the end, he’ll be forgotten too. No matter how glorious the past is, it will fade with time, as if it never existed. Surviving is the most meaningful thing a person can do.”

“I see… If your sister, your juniors, and all the seniors you respected end up dead in the end, and you are the only one left, wouldn’t you be lonely?” asked Hong Yuye.

Jiang Hao was silent for a long time. Finally, he asked, “And you, Senior? You are so remarkable. Is there anyone walking this path with you? Aren’t you lonely?”
