Chapter 1499: How Is It Not True That I’m Eighteen? (1)

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Jiang Hao looked ahead and frowned.

For him, there were no obstacles in his way.

He could even clearly sense the direction of the blade intent, but he had no idea what lay ahead.

Gu Jin was right.

He was different from the others.

There was no need for any tests.

As they walked, Jiang Hao talked with the two seniors about the surrounding area, but gradually, their pace slowed.

Their eyes began to show signs of confusion, which surprised Jiang Hao.

“Why are we walking forward?” Jing Yan suddenly asked.

This question made Chang Wei pause in confusion. “Yes, why are we walking forward?”

“Aren’t we looking for opportunities?” Jiang Hao responded with a question of his own.

“And what happens when we find them?” Chang Wei asked again.

“We advance in our cultivation,” Jiang Hao said.

“What about after advancing? Keep searching for more opportunities, and then advance again? An endless cycle?” Chang Wei asked.

Jiang Hao frowned.

He knew what his goals were, but it seemed the others were uncertain.

The sudden change puzzled him.

Normally, they should not feel so lost.

Then, Jiang Hao raised his head slightly. Only then did he realize that three swords had appeared above their heads.

One for each of them…

‘So, it’s because of that…’ Jiang Hao thought in surprise.

The swords were pitch-black and almost invisible.

It felt like these swords were absorbing everything around them.

They were completely different from the Primordial Heavenly Blade.

Curious, he gently raised his hand and, with a slight movement of his power, brought the sword towards him. Finally, he grasped it.

‘I can hold it?’ Jiang Hao was surprised.

It felt very ordinary, and upon closer inspection, there was not even a speck of dust on it.

‘It’s not the main thing.’ Jiang Hao sighed.

“Let’s keep moving forward together,” he said to the two beside him.

The two remained silent for a moment and were unable to respond to Jiang Hao.

Their eyes were filled with confusion.

“If you don’t know where to go, just keep moving forward. Maybe you’ll find your true calling,” Jiang Hao suggested.

Only then did the two react and follow Jiang Hao as they continued forward.

The farther they went, the purer the aura around them became.

It seemed that as long as they kept moving forward, they would gain great benefits.

Jiang Hao led the way, with the two following behind.

If they discovered anything along the way, the benefits they would gain would multiply.

‘This sword is extraordinary.’ Jiang Hao thought as he looked at the sword.

He felt as though he could see through all things.

It contained many hidden opportunities, and if a person was suitable enough, they could obtain what was meant for them.

Jiang Hao, however, was not suitable for anything, so he couldn’t obtain any opportunities.

Besides, when Gu Jin arrived, he likely had no need for anything, so he ventured deep into the area.

While Jiang Hao couldn’t obtain any opportunities, it wasn’t easy to enter the deeper parts of the realm.

The ease he was experiencing was mostly because of Gu Jin’s name.

As Jiang Hao continued forward, he noticed fewer people around.

Some stood in place, confused, though their strength continued to surge, and their cultivation advanced.

Only a few people were moving outward.

On the way, he saw two black eagles. They were slowly breaking free.

This indicated that their mental state was not strong enough.

Whoosh!

A surge of power erupted.

It was Chang Wei. As he continued forward, his cultivation reached the peak, and he was about to break through.

However, it was clearly not the time for that.

Whether he could find his own path would determine how much of an opportunity he could seize.

Jiang Hao subtly moved his finger and suppressed the breakthrough. He encouraged further refinement and the search for opportunities for both of them.

Jing Yan, in her green robe, was not far behind.

Both of them had good fortunes.

If they still maintained this state by the time they reached the depths, they might miss out on a great opportunity.

However, the opportunities they had encountered were already quite impressive.

People must learn to be content. Greed could lead to a downfall.

As Jiang Hao moved further inside, he noticed fewer and fewer people.

Only a handful were able to move forward in their confusion.

So far, there was not a single person who could maintain their rationality.

That was until he saw someone standing under a tree.

This person was staring ahead, unlike the others who were hesitant and wandering.

What caught Jiang Hao’s attention was not the person’s behavior but their silhouette.

“Chu Chuan?”

Jiang Hao was surprised. He never thought that he would see the latter here.

With a heart shrouded in dust, Chu Chuan would have been unable to cleanse his mind and embark on his own immortal path.

Unlike others, Chu Chuan’s path was destined to be tough.

His achievement of the middle stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm at such a young age was already beyond most people’s expectations.

He wasn’t born a genius, so his path to immortality was bound to be challenging, yet he had stubbornly kept pace with the most talented individuals.

Among his peers, few could compare to him.

Seeing Chu Chuan, Jiang Hao did not avoid him but walked up to him.

As he approached, he noticed that tears streamed down Chu Chuan’s face, as if he were facing great difficulty.

“What’s wrong?” Jiang Hao asked softly.

Hearing this, Chu Chuan turned to him. The moment he saw Jiang Hao, his tears flowed uncontrollably, as if a dam had burst.

“Senior…Senior Brother?” His lips trembled.

“Yes.” Jiang Hao nodded.

“I…I…I forgot,” Chu Chuan stammered. He felt as though he were a child in front of a parent. “I forgot what I was supposed to do. I forgot why I worked so hard.

“When I was misunderstood, all I thought about was how to clear up any misunderstanding. When I was being hunted, I thought about how to escape. When someone saved me, I thought about how to repay them. I’ve been through so much. I was misunderstood, betrayed, insulted, and hunted. But I was really trying to help them. I never meant any harm.”
