Chapter 205: Accompanying

The nascent soul flew up and came beneath the floating black orb and sat beneath it.

A platform formed beneath it, it was also black and looked like a hole rather than a platform.

Finally, Jiang Hao had completed the breakthrough. He could already feel his robust spiritual essence. In the Nascent Soul Realm, the increase in spirit qi isn’t as much as the spiritual essence.

This stage, which gives you complete control over spiritual qi, overall, is far better than just an increase of spirit qi.

His breakthrough hadn’t completed though. It was time for his blood core to advance. Since his nascent soul was already born, there wasn’t any long process.

It silently elevated to Grade 5, releasing robust blood qi. After everything settled down, he released his breath.

He entered his physique and learned about his new ability and enhanced abilities.

Jiang Hao opened his eyes. His breakthrough seemed quite simple, but the birthing of the nascent soul is a dangerous process.

The storm in the soul sea is painful, and not getting distracted while breaking through is not easy at all with that pain.

He looked around the empty mountain and sighed.

Fenglai had left with the others too. It was better that way, it was like sister Meiying had taken a disciple.

It was good for Fenglai. He was restricted in a small space before, and now even on this mountain it didn’t change much.

Jiang Hao stood up. He couldn’t release his spirit sense here as the chaotic mist would block it. So he went down and came outside the mountain.

It was peaceful nearby with no beast as usual. Jiang Hao opened his spirit sense and it reached 2,500 meters easily. He could sense some spirit beasts in that range, some were lying on the ground, some were fighting each other. Just as natural as it can be.

His close range in which he could control anything with his spirit sense had also increased, now it was 25 meters.

He picked up multiple leaves and let them float near him. He could feel that controlling every single one of them individually wasn’t an issue for him.

Finally, he let them fall and looked towards the mountain top. It was time for him to go...

Jiang Hao wondered if he should go and say farewell for the time being.

"What are you looking at so intently?"

"Nothing, senior. I wonder how long it will take to come back here."

"I doubt that was what you were thinking. How about you invite her? She seemed to be lost in thoughts these days. Maybe she is thinking of going back to her world."

Jiang Hao was surprised. Yes, there was no need for Senior Yao Ying to stay here. If she wanted, then she could go back to the upper worlds easily. She might have some treasure which might even directly take her to her own world.

Come to think of it, it might even be good for Senior Yin Ni to follow Senior Yao Ying. She could heal far faster in the upper world, and not to mention, she might be safest with the Xuanluan Clan.

No doubt the ring was good for teleportation, but he wasn’t helpless without it now. Not to mention, he could just learn the Dao of Space. It was just a matter of time. If Senior Yao Ying decided to leave before he reached the Heavenly King Realm, then he might have to find another alternative.

As for the matter of inviting Senior Yao to go around the world, he didn’t find any resistance towards it—but would she even agree?

It was just a mortal world. He doubted anything here would interest her. He wanted to go alone because he would travel through cities with human-concentrated areas, unlike Senior Huan and Senior Zhi, who would go to extreme regions which were affected with laws of wind or fire.

Just as Jiang Hao was thinking this, he sensed a new presence. Not because he could hear or sense anything, but because of the only one sensation which still made him powerless.

The one and only thing he couldn’t control, even if he wanted to.

"What are you thinking?"

A voice entered the ears of Jiang Hao as he turned around to see the person whom he could identify without looking.

"Nothing, senior. I was just about to leave."

"Hmm... I see, then let’s go."

Jiang Hao took a second to understand what she meant. After understanding it, he didn’t react overly and nodded.

"I am thinking of going from cities to cities, senior."

"Hmm..." Yao Ying just nodded. She didn’t care about it; she would just follow along with him.

Jiang Hao understood this, so he moved. Since he had broken through, it was time to test his strength.

When he started his journey, Grade 6 spirit beasts felt insurmountable to him. Now he could take on them.

Not much time had passed in his cultivation journey. By the standards of lower worlds, him being in the Core Formation Realm would have put him into the above average category.

As he moved, Yao Ying walked exactly parallel to him. And as expected, his blood wasn’t calm, but he had already learned to ignore it, so he maintained his calm.

Now only one thought was running inside his mind—would Senior Yao enter the city like this?

She wasn’t wearing any veil, and if people saw her, then they might not know what reality is. The ruckus it would cause is something which would far surpass the one Senior Sister Ming could cause.

"You looking for a beast?" Yao Ying spoke suddenly.

Jiang Hao nodded, "Yes, senior."

Yao Ying stopped and moved a finger towards him while saying,

"Stop it from touching your chest"

Jiang Hao was stunned for a moment but moved his hand in the way of the finger.

The moment his hand touched the finger, his mind felt calm but his heart felt restless—a feeling he was never able to describe with mere words.

He had used a small amount of his strength, but it wasn’t enough to make the finger even flinch, much less stop it.

He also understood one thing—even his whole strength wouldn’t be enough to stop its advancement.

As expected, when he applied his full strength, it didn’t change anything. The speed of the finger stayed the same and it only stopped when the end of his hand touched himself.

Yao Ying removed her finger and her eyes shone with ethereal essence, before going back to normal.

Jiang Hao felt a little blur before they appeared above a lake. He was seeing it for the first time.

The moment they appeared, the beast residing came out—it was a snake.

Its size was far bigger than Sister Meiying. Snakes are generally longer in length, so it wasn’t surprising.

It was in the Mid Stage of Grade 6. Now he understood what Senior Yao Ying had done.

After judging his strength, she found a perfect opponent for him in the whole forest.
