Trapped In The Cultivator World
Another reason behind the Black Lotus sect plan

After arriving at the inn and entering the room he rented, Li Hao lay down while thinking about where he was going tomorrow.

"Should I go to a dangerous place to raise my level faster?" Li Hao wondered inwardly, from now on he should focus on strengthening himself because within a year the truth about the incident earlier this afternoon would rise to the surface, then a war could happen and the Black Lotus sect would obviously be the target, "If war did happen, there would definitely be many lives lost. Will it be my fault?"

Li Hao would definitely feel guilty if it did happen, but if the actions of the Black Lotus sect were to be left unchecked then a much bigger problem than this could happen.

"What is their motive for making a mess...? Do they have the ambition to make the Black Lotus sect the only sect on the heavenly land?"

Usually in novels that he often read, many characters called villains have such desires. They want to rule the world, but in a foolish and immature way.

Li Hao dissolved into his mind until he fell asleep. When his eyes opened, it was morning and there were many voices of people on the move.

Li Hao slowly woke up and he immediately gasped in shock at the sight of an old man standing before his door, the old man was none other than Yang Pun, his teacher Zhang Hai.

"You surprised me...!" Li Hao said, he almost cursed.

While Yang Pun stepped forward.

"I've checked the truth of the paper, and I'm sure that the Black Lotus sect is the mastermind" Yang Pun said calmly, "But the thing is, the thing is, their purpose in doing this was not merely to create chaos and war on the heavenly land..."

"Huh...? What's that supposed?"

"This matter is a little more complicated, they want to resurrect their first ancestor."

"First ancestor...?"

"Yes, their first ancestor happened to be a legend. He was an extremely strong cultivator, even said to be able to flatten a sect or a great clan by himself."

"Well..." Li Hao began to understand the plot, "Then, what does war have to do with resurrecting their first ancestor?"

"One of the conditions for awakening their first ancestor, they required a great deal of soul sacrifice. However, it had been a hundred years since they had accumulated many souls, but that condition had still not been met."

"Hundred years...? How many souls have they gathered during that time?" Li Hao slightly widened his eyes in surprise.

"My goal is to tell you this so that you're careful, Li Hao. The Black Lotus Sect might be the weakest ten-star sect at the moment, yet they could easily find you if they took out all their people." Yang Pun's expression became even more serious, "Especially if they managed to resurrect their first ancestor, they would become even more powerful and likely shift the position of the Black Fire Mountain sect as the strongest Black Stream sect on the heavenly land."

"If it does happen and your name is known to them, it's best to change your identity and hide it for as long as possible. That's my advice..."

Seeing the tension and seriousness in Yang Pun's words made Li Hao gulp his saliva roughly, "I understand, thank you, Sir."

Li Hao cupped his hands as the information would be very useful for him in the future.

"I'll try my best to hide your identity, but never expect more..."

Yang Pun also apologized if indeed he could not hide Li Hao's identity well.

"Before telling you about this matter, I already knew the risks. So, there's no need to apologize because at least you've been trying to protect me."

Li Hao gave a small nod in response, and a moment after that Yang Pun disappeared from his sight in an instant.

"It turns out the problem is much more complicated than I thought." Li Hao silently smiled bitterly, "Well, but there should be no regrets. I made this decision well..."

After saying so, Li Hao immediately cleaned himself up and walked out of the inn. Before leaving the city, he first bought groceries and spices so as not to always eat bland food.

***

According to the information Li Hao had bought at the Information Tower, if he went east after going out of Luoyang city, he would find the Endless Forest known as one of the dangerous forests.

The reason the Endless Forest was recognized as a dangerous forest was because rarely would a cultivator make it out of it after going inside, those below the Immortal realm had a high possibility of getting lost due to the vastness of the forest.

Li Hao had the intention to go to that forest because in addition to its large size, the Endless Forest was rumored to be a forest filled with dangerous monsters. One of the people who managed to get out of there once said that there was a monster that had the size of a mountain and he let out a roar that could make the land tremble violently.

Many people were in disbelief after hearing that, even Li Hao was one of them. However, it does not rule out the possibility that the story is true considering that such a monster was indeed a lot in the past.

"Well, I didn't expect to meet right away after getting into that forest." Li Hao muttered, then smiled widely, "I'd rather expect the system to give me a lot of missions."

***

Almost a month Li Hao moved towards the north, yet he still did not make it to the Endless Forest.

Currently, Li Hao lay down on the meadow while enjoying the cool breeze of the night. He looked at his status screen, and his level was now at 120.

"Just three levels up in a month, very disappointing." Li Hao let out a long breath. The reason for that was only to level up slightly because during the journey, he had not found many spiritual beasts that were worth it. As a result, the experience he had gained to level up was very little, "It was fortunate that the people in the previous city said that the Forest Without Edge was only a dozen kilometers away."

It was likely that Li Hao would reach the forest tomorrow morning because tonight he would rest and save his strength and stamina for leveling later.

"By the way, what happened to that egg, huh?" Li Hao suddenly recalled, then took out a red egg that was scaly like a fish from his inventory, "My feelings alone or is this egg getting lighter from the last time?"

Li Hao paused for a moment before forgetting his question, he forgot that he had grown stronger since increasing his strength.

"I don't think it would hurt to give him some Qi, would it?" Li Hao smiled faintly, then changed his position into meditation and began to channel his Qi into the egg.

The red egg absorbed the Qi channeled by Li Hao quickly, and in less than ten minutes alone he instantly collapsed from almost running out of Qi.

"You're so greedy." Li Hao's breath was hunting, his body was sweating a lot at the moment, "I'm tired..."

Before going to bed, Li Hao put the eggs back into the inventory to be safe. Not long after, his eyes closed and he fell asleep in just a few seconds.
