Chapter 755: Seeking Help

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Upon hearing Jing’s words, everyone was stunned.

The Earth Extreme Silent Pearl would be unsealed within three months?!

It was unbelievable.

Was it too sudden?

Three months might not seem that short, but in the cultivation world, it was merely the blink of an eye.

What could be done in three months?

Trying to escape from the South was barely feasible within three months.

“Within three months, it will erupt?!” Zhang still couldn’t process it.

Jiang Hao nodded.

“Friend Jing, have you been inside there?” Senior Dan Yuan inquired.

“Yes.” Jiang Hao nodded.

He didn’t rush to say anything else. He needed to carefully consider his words.

However, what surprised him was Senior Dan Yuan’s next words. “The seal involves the four directional pillars?”

“Senior, you are indeed knowledgeable in this matter,” said Jiang Hao in admiration.

“It seems indeed that the four pillars are about to collapse,” Senior Dan Yuan said with a furrowed brow. “Do you have a way to balance the four pillars, Friend Jing?

Jiang Hao lowered his head. He remained silent for a long time. “It’s worth a try.”

At this moment, Jiang Hao wasn’t aware of how difficult it would be to balance them. But from Senior Dan Yuan’s tone, if a balance were achieved, the four major sects would intervene.

The matter of convincing the four major sects was another matter entirely. He couldn’t do it alone, but Senior Dan Yuan might be able to help. Moreover, with Senior Dan Yuan’s involvement, the others might believe him more readily.

The others didn’t seem to have any doubts in their minds.

“Alright, try it. The task now is to replenish the power for the four pillars,” Senior Dan Yuan said.

“How do we replenish the power?” Gui asked.

Everyone looked at Senior Dan Yuan.

The matter was not easy at all, but there was hope for a favorable outcome.

“We need the a.s.sistance of the four major sects. They should know the corresponding locations of the pillars.” Senior Dan Yuan looked at everyone.

“How can we make the sects believe and take action?” Gui asked.

“If they believe it, they will act. The key lies in whether they’ll believe us or not. If the information is false, their actions might directly trigger the eruption of the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl,” Senior Dan Yuan said earnestly.

Several people sighed. How could they convince the sects in this way?

But without convincing them, they only had three months. Missing this opportunity would be disastrous.

Jiang Hao remained silent. At this moment, he didn’t speak. Simply waiting for the changes to unfold was enough. His words wouldn’t do anything to help them believe or motivate them to act.

Previously, he had even considered how to make these people believe him. But now, this wasn’t something he needed to worry about, as Senior Dan Yuan had gotten involved.

Using Senior Dan Yuan’s reputation was undoubtedly the most convincing approach.

Fortunately, Senior Dan Yuan knew enough, otherwise, it would have been quite troublesome.

“I can try,” Xing said. “I can try to communicate with the Bright Moon Sect. There’s a fair chance they might believe me. After all, they’ve already noticed the issue. They just don’t know the details. If the Bright Moon Sect believes it, then the Clear Sky School would be fine with it too. Communication with the west and north might be problematic. Even if communication is established eventually, it will take a long time to convince them.” “As for the west…” Senior Dan Yuan looked at Zhang. “I’m not confident that it’ll work.” Zhang shook her head.

The matter was too difficult.

“I can go to find the Grand Master of the Heavenly Tower. Perhaps he can speak to the academy. However, the distance is still a problem. Even if we can communicate, the other side needs to consider,” Liu said.

“The academy?” Jiang Hao, who had been silent, suddenly asked. The others looked at him. “Doesn’t the academy have a senior named Jing Dajiang?” He looked at Zhang.

“Jing Dajiang?” Zhang was taken aback. She then nodded. “He was the former dean.”

“If you can meet him and tell him the name of a book, there shouldn’t be a problem,” Jiang Hao said. He then mentioned the book t.i.tle, “Mirror Flower World.”

Zhang was somewhat hesitant but ultimately nodded because there was no other choice.

Lastly, the north was left. But there was no one in the north.

“My people happen to be in the north, so I’ll handle that,” Senior Dan Yuan said with a smile.

“What should I do?” Gui asked.

She was in the south, where there were no immortal sects, and she didn’t know the whereabouts of the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl. So, she didn’t know how she could help.

“Find the Grand Earth Emperor and see if he can wield the Xuanyuan Sword. Perhaps that might help.” Senior Dan Yuan smiled.

Gui nodded.

She understood that this was just wishful thinking, but there was a chance it might work.

Jiang Hao breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as these matters were handled, half the issue was solved.

The rest depended on him.

After confirming that there were no further issues, Senior Dan Yuan said, “That’s all for now.”

In an instant, everyone left the gathering.

Jiang Hao also withdrew.

Hong Yuye was sitting at the bow and sipping her tea. She seemed indifferent to the surroundings.

“Have you got any answers?” she asked in a calm voice.

“Yes.” Jiang Hao nodded. “I tried and everyone agreed to persuade the four major sects. I can’t say for sure whether it’ll work or not.”

That was the limit of what Jiang Hao could do.

He couldn’t do much about the four major sects. He could only wait patiently.

At that moment, he gazed at the increasingly enormous star-like object ahead. He was filled with determination as he looked at it.

His progress at getting stronger had been quick, but even at his pace, he couldn’t catch up enough to stall the impending danger.

It was frustrating.

That was why he hid in the shadows and was unwilling to draw attention to himself.

He was on the path to becoming stronger, yet many others surpa.s.sed him.

No one could compete with him based on his level.

A thirty-year-old Golden Core Realm cultivator and a hundred-year-old cultivator in the same realm were both Golden Core Realm cultivators in the end.

It wasn’t always about talent or younger age who had the advantage.

No one would wait for others to catch up.

“If the power of the four pillars is restored, how should I proceed?” Jiang Hao asked.

Hong Yuye glanced at him but didn’t speak.

Jiang Hao sighed inwardly. It seemed that he would have to take it step by step and deal with it when it happened.

Watching the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl gradually grow larger, he knew that waiting longer would make things even more challenging.

This was the least confident he had felt in all these years.

Despite being so close, the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl was completely out of range for appraisal.

Approaching the four pillars was even more impossible.

At the Astronomical Academy, a woman dressed in the academy’s attire woke up from her meditation.

She silently looked at the sunlight outside.

“This is rare. I rarely come out during the day.”

She sighed and walked outside.

Creak!

The gate opened, and she stepped into the courtyard.

It was a solitary courtyard. Very few people in the academy got their own courtyard.

“Senior Sister Yan, would you like to take a stroll by the lake?” asked a disciple who was pa.s.sing by.

Yan Yuezhi shook her head.

“No. I have to go and find a gentleman in the backyard.”

“The backyard? That’s not a good place to be,” said the disciple with a smile. They bowed and walked away.

Yan Yuezhi sighed and then headed towards the backyard.

She knew it wasn’t a good place, but she had no choice but to go there..
