Heaven Refining physique

Jiang Hao thought for a second and said,

"Send someone to cook your best meals in the inn for us."

The ancestor and others were stunned. The ancestor immediately came to his senses and bowed again.

"Senior, how about coming to our main house... we can prepare the meals there and serve you."

Jiang Hao shook his head, "No need, your inn will do... also, do not disturb us. Just send someone to cook, you do not have to come."

After saying that, Jiang Hao left and landed in front of Yao Ying.

"Senior, looks like we can still eat here."

Yao Ying nodded, and they both went back. The inn was still silent; the cultivators present here didn't even know what had happened outside.

When they saw Jiang Hao and Yao Ying coming back, they were stunned. They couldn't help but wonder how they were still alive? Or had the Yan Clan become magnanimous?

Jiang Hao looked at the dead body and used a nihility sphere to clean the mess, and then they returned to their previous seats and sat down.

Others were stunned to the core seeing that. It was beyond their comprehension to see something vanish without a trace.

It didn't take long before various members of the Luofeng Family entered the inn, and one of the males spoke,

"This inn is closed. Everyone should leave now."

Seeing members from the Luofeng Family gave them another shock. They had thought that by now the Luofeng had already been killed, but it looked like all their assumptions were wrong.

Did the Yan Clan only come here to force them to leave this area and not kill them? It seemed like it.

All of them immediately stood and began leaving. They had already been waiting for this moment.

The inn became empty, only Jiang Hao and Yao Ying sat there. The Luofeng Family members immediately started preparing a variety of dishes.

Finally, Yao Ying looked at Jiang Hao, "How much have you seen till now?"

Jiang Hao looked at her back; now he didn't avoid eye contact with her. He also knew what she was asking.

"It all feels repetitive, Senior."

He had seen how the world really works, seen mortals and cultivators alike... After observing for a while, he felt it was repetitive.

Everything could be pointed to one fact—weakness is the real curse. Even among mortals, those who are weak are killed mercilessly by other mortals.

Even if you become a cultivator... it wouldn't end. There would definitely be someone stronger than you present in the world, and if that person decided to kill you, then you are dead.

All in all, you have to be the strongest or near the strongest to live freely as you wish.

When Jiang Hao had started cultivating, he wasn't much interested in becoming the most powerful cultivator. He wanted to get strong enough to explore the world, but now he felt like becoming the strongest is the only way to live freely in this universe.

"Repetitive, you say? Well, everything is repetitive in one way or another. You cultivate to break through to the next realm, and once that is done... you again cultivate to the next stage, unless you aren't able. Then find another path, and then repeat the same process.

Repetition is the very fundamental of this universe. You live your life, then you die, and reincarnate to live again.

Although your memories, which make you who you are, have been erased, the soul stays the same. Some are able to retain their memories and live their life again.

In the end, repetition isn't the problem, it's how you see it...

It's quite ironic indeed. Most cultivators cultivate to live a long life or become immortals, but after some time, they are able to understand the repetition and wish to break it.

Those who tried are dead, or if they survived somehow, then they are like Senior Yin. There will come a day when you will be at the edge of this decision too. I will be there too.

The only difference will be who breaks first. Forget it and do not think about it much. No matter how strong your will is, this topic is something which can make even ancestors who are the strongest falter, much less us."

Jiang Hao sighed. He could understand what Senior Yao was implying. Everything would become repetitive when you lived long enough. No matter how strong your will is, at some point it will definitely falter.

Jiang Hao also gleaned new information about Senior Yin. She had gotten bored of the repetition and took the step to break it... but is it really something which can be broken? Seeing her situation... the answer seemed obvious.

He shouldn't think about it right now. What is inevitable will come; thinking about it would only ruin his present peace too.

Now he truly wanted to reach the top, and maybe, since everyone had tried to break this repetition, there really is a way—or else why would they even try?

Only after he becomes the strongest will he have the chance to even think about it.

Jiang Hao had seen enough in his journey till now, but he still wished to travel for a while. He liked travelling with Senior Yao—maybe it was because of their bond, or perhaps just because he had begun to openly show her affection.

After so long, he understood one thing quite clearly, Senior Yao didn't have any intention to avoid him or break the bond. She, in fact, loved teasing him from time to time to test his resolve.

He knew Senior Yao would leave someday, and he couldn't follow her. He had promises to take care of.

The upper world he first wanted to visit was the nearest world to theirs, the world to which Senior Hu Tian belonged.

Just as he was thinking this, their meals finally arrived...

"Senior, these are our most iconic dishes. Please enjoy, and if you need any more of these... please call for me."

A woman who seemed to be 26 or 27 years old spoke. By the looks of it, she seemed to be of quite high status in the Luofeng Family—definitely one of their daughters.

She was at the peak of Soul Sea realm. That itself showed her talent was quite extraordinary. Jiang Hao didn't pay much attention and looked at all the different kinds of exotic dishes in front of him.

He finally removed his mask, and when he did, all the family members who were inside the inn were stunned. He looked too young, but the real reason was that they knew who it was.

His portraits were already scattered across the whole Eastern Region. They were shocked to the core.
