Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

1405  If I'm Backed Into A Corner, I'll Cross Realms To Kill The Enemy (1)

At the end of January, Jiang Hao had been observing the River of Deathly Silence for nearly a month.

He had been very cooperative with the three people from before.

He did not make any moves himself and let the three of them do the work.

There would be plenty of feedback.

This neither constrained the three of them nor made them feel dissatisfied.

Thus, they could fully focus on completing the task for him.

This time, the sect's mission was the most worry-free.

In the past month, aside from meeting a few people at the beginning, he would have them report back once a week.

The three had no objections.

Moreover, whenever they made discoveries, they would credit themselves.

They would also say that their decisions were correct.

Additionally, they would claim that under his leadership, they would surely achieve significant accomplishments this time.

If he praised them, they would say that there was no weak soldier under a strong general. They felt embarrassed not to have done something useful following such leadership.

In short, they said all the good things.

He could only act as if he was being flattered and agreed with whatever they said.

In this way, both sides felt comfortable.

While observing the River of Deathly Silence, Jiang Hao increasingly felt the extraordinariness of the river.

The river exuded Dao energy, and the broken section had the textures of the Great Dao.

If the East Heavenly Pole appeared, who knew what would happen?

With his current cultivation and comprehension, it should not be a problem for him to get close.

But anything more would be difficult.

Based on Nie Jin and the other two's observations, the farther the river flowed, the more it tended to change.

However, approaching the broken section, it gradually stabilized.

This meant that accidents were likely to happen in the middle section.

This was not yet certain, so they continued to observe.

After waiting a few more days, Jiang Hao did not observe anything new, but he increasingly understood death. His essence aligned with it.

If he continued, he had some confidence that entering the river would not have too great an impact.

Nan Qing and the others returned.

Seeing the three, Jiang Hao stood up and asked, "Any findings?"

Nan Qing nodded. "I noticed something. Although there are occasional changes in the place I'm at, there's no pattern to it. It doesn't seem like a normal river change."

Nie Jin said, "It's the same on my side. So, I suspect it's not the river itself, but other factors."

"I observed the surroundings, and some plants indeed show changes," said Zhen Huo.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Hao said, "So the river affects the shore, and the shore, in turn, affects the river?"

"Senior Brother, you're so wise!" Nie Jin exclaimed. "I couldn't figure it out the entire way. I didn't expect you to notice it in an instant."

"It is no wonder you are improving so quickly, Senior Brother." Zhen Huo was also amazed. "We can only improve very slowly."

Nan Qing also looked at him in admiration.

Looking at these people, Jiang Hao felt they were really taking every opportunity to praise him.

If there was a chance, they would praise him nonstop.

When Jiang Hao arrived, he carefully looked at the surrounding soil and noticed some strange changes.

But they were very subtle.

It was hard to notice if one was not observing closely.

Not just that, the river water also rose and fell like a tide.

That was a little strange.

"There weren't any tides before," Jiang Hao said.

"Yes. That's also one of the changes," said Nan Qing. "This fluctuation lasts for a while, and then it returns to normal."

"No regular pattern?" Jiang Hao asked.

"None." Nan Qing shook her head.

"Does it mostly happen at night or during the day?" Jiang Hao asked again.

"At night."

"Early or late night?"

"About the same."

Jiang Hao nodded. Then, he turned to Zhen Huo. "Junior Brother Zhen, did you observe the ground?"

"Yes, the plants have been affected, but there are no signs of wilting." Zhen Huo nodded.

" "Did you transplant some for observation?" Jiang Hao asked.

"No, I didn't." Zhen Huo shook his head, then immediately said, "I'll transplant some for observation right away."

"Did you check underground? Any visible changes?" Jiang Hao asked.

Upon hearing this, the three were startled. They realized that they had not considered the underground.

Senior Brother Jiang was very meticulous.

Jiang Hao was speechless.

In other words, they had not observed anything…

Jiang Hao was quite surprised. He then squatted down and placed a hand on the ground.

The next moment, his power penetrated the soil and reached underground.

Before extending far, he felt a clear sensation below.

It seemed the soil was very clean.

Additionally, he vaguely felt something strange gathering below.

It resonated with the vegetation above.

However, he was certain that the water of the River of Deathly Silence had not seeped through.
