Chapter 1040: Do You Want the Dragon Egg? (1)

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

[Li Ertao: Disciple of the Blackheaven Sect. Born with a Golden Lotus Body. He is at the late stage of the Golden Core Realm. He grew up in a mountain village and yearned for the city but was afraid to venture out. He felt like a country bumpkin, especially when he saw the way people lived in the city with their neat carriages and posh clothes. He did not dare approach them. Every time he approached these people, he felt lost and restless. On the path of cultivation, he only had himself to rely on. He does not know too much about cultivation. Has an inferiority complex. Although he only has good intentions, he does not know how to express them. He feels that he is not good enough and has trouble picking up social cues.]

Under the moonlight, Jiang Hao watched Li Ertao leave.

The person before him was very talented and his cultivation path had been smooth so far.

He was just not good at social interaction. He had not experienced many hardships in his life.

Ever since he left home, everything he did was to progress on the cultivation path. He did not know much about the outside world, and he knew very little about himself and others.

It was a disadvantage to not know how to deal with people.

He had yet to grow up. He had to learn enough to compensate for his flaws.

It was uncertain whether things would get better or worse for him.

Perhaps after recognizing his own talent, he would get more arrogant.

It was also possible that he might become too sensitive and angry. He might try to get revenge on everyone who looked down on him.

Being kind in the face of cruelty was the most difficult.

Jiang Hao stopped thinking about him and observed his surroundings vigilantly.

Many people were nearby, and not everyone wanted to enter the lake.

After confirming that no one was around, a figure walked out of the seal. It was Smiling San Sheng.

Jiang Hao controlled it like a puppet and headed toward the lake.

Soon, he entered it.

It was the same as before. There was no change.

‘Why didn’t they show up?’ Jiang Hao sighed.

After that, he made his likeness sit cross-legged on the ground.

He then waited for dawn.

The starlight began to dim, and the sun slowly rose.

‘Still nothing…’

The figure of Smiling San Sheng dissipated. In the end, it returned and merged into Jiang Hao’s body.

That had been enough to act as bait, but no one seemed to be fooled by it.

He could only wait and take one step at a time.

Early the next morning, Jiang Hao looked at the people who were already up. “Let’s go.”

“It’s not the right time. We need to wait until noon. At noon, we can see more clearly. It’s the safest,” said Zuo Ming.

“Alright. We’ll proceed at noon then.” Jiang Hao nodded.

Zuo Ming smiled.

He thought that the person in front of him was nothing special.

At noon, Jiang Hao looked at Zuo Ming. “Can we go now?”

“Of course.” Zuo Ming smiled.

“Then, let’s go,” Jiang Hao said.

He was not sure if the Heavenly Eye would wait until noon, but there was no need to clash with these people.

He had many things to do and many people to deal with.

He did not care who was the leader of the team at all.

Then, the eight of them headed to the lakeside.

“Be careful, we’re only three meters away from the lake. When you get within ten feet of the lake, you’ll be trapped in the distorted space and won’t be able to go further. When the time comes, the darkness will cover everything. Without the Heavenly Eye to guide the way, it will be difficult for anyone who goes in to come out of it. Listen to us, and there won’t be any problems,” said Zuo Ming.

“If you go in and wander around, do so at your own peril,” said Gudu Jinxin.

Jiang Hao and the others nodded and approached the lakeside.

As expected, when they were within the ten feet range, the space distorted and darkness enveloped them.

There was no path behind him. They were able to sense nothing at all.

There was only darkness.

Jiang Hao could only barely see Li Ertao who was behind him.

‘What a strange place!’ Jiang Hao found it unbelievable.

His perception was completely useless in this place.

Even when he used a nameless manual, he could not sense anything.

The Heavenly Eye could even see in this situation. It was incredible.

“Is everyone here? If you’re here, please let me know,” said Zuo Ming.

Jiang Hao spoke first, and the others followed suit.

Everyone was there.

“Alright. Fellow Disciple Jiang, Fellow Disciple Li, and Fellow Disciple Zheng, please walk ahead. My Junior Sister and I will be in the middle. Fellow Disciple Liao, Fellow Disciple Lu, and Fellow Disciple Cheng, please follow behind,” Zuo Ming said.

Soon, the team was formed accordingly. Jiang Hao did not think it was feasible this way.

The line was far too long, and he could not sense the others.

“Senior Brother Zheng, Junior Sister Cheng, please stand to the side and protect Fellow Disciple Zuo and the others,” said Jiang Hao.

Zheng Shijiu and Cheng Yuchen immediately stood to either side of the two people they needed to protect.

The line of people was shorter and more convenient to reach out to. Only then did Jiang Hao feel at ease. It was safer this way.

“No… This will affect the Heavenly Eye. And you interrupted my plan,” Zuo Ming said immediately. “You damaged our spell. We might not be able to see anything now. If we continue like this, we’ll return empty-handed. Return to the previous spots immediately!”

Zheng Shijiu looked at Jiang Hao.

Cheng Yuchen was in a difficult position.

Liao Jin and the others were also watching.

It was very obvious that Zuo Ming wanted to take over as the leader of the team
