Facing Lu Linlin, Sect Master Wang was so nervous that he couldn’t even stand straight. He could somewhat maintain the dignity of a sect master before the Sky Mountain Sect disciples, but he lost all of his composure in front of Nascent Soul Realm cultivators.
“Why are you still here?” Lu Lili asked impatiently.
Sect Master Wang looked like a rat who bullied the weak and flattered the powerful. Lu Lili was disgusted at the sight of him, especially now when she was in a bad mood.
Hearing the impatience in her words, Sect Master Wang didn’t dare to stay for even one more second. He turned immediately and flew away on a flying sword.
He was planning to ask the masters from the Sky Mountain Sect to help them press down Lu Linlin and Lu Lili, but he gave up on this idea after the Lu sisters showed their Nascent Soul Realm strength.
After all, Nascent Soul Realm cultivators had no rivals on Fifth Heaven and were top-tier masters even on Sixth Heaven. If the Lu sister fought with the Sky Mountain Sect masters, White Sand Sect, an affiliated sect on Fifth Heaven, would be wiped out easily without a trace!
Regardless of the identity of the cultivator they brought with them, Sect Master Wang fervently hoped that they would leave his sect as soon as possible!
Bang! Lu Linlin and Lu Lili carried Hao Ren’s silver dragon body into the room and shut the door,
They scanned the room with their powerful spiritual senses and made sure that there were no traps or arrays in the room. Then, they put the silver dragon onto the bed.
After forcing himself into Dui-level, transforming into a dragon, and enduring the lightning tribulation, Hao Ren exhausted his body while chipping his dragon core and shattering the openings he had unlocked earlier with his sword energies.
Dragon cores were the foundations of dragon cultivators. If Hao Ren were an ordinary dragon cultivator, he would have died already. However, Hao Ren’s simultaneous cultivation of the five elemental essences with the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll helped him balance the nature essence in his body, giving him features of human cultivators.
That was why Hao Ren still had a trace of essence guarding his heart despite the severely damaged dragon core. The sword energies created by the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll were still instinctively traveling through his body swiftly, helping to keep the meridians open.
“Sister, what should we do?” Lu Lili looked at Lu Linlin with fear and anxiety.
“Since Gongzi hasn’t solidified his realm with Mystic Crystal, if we take the nature essence from his body and shatter the dragon core, he will be safe. However, he… will return to a mortal,” Lu Linlin said after a few seconds of hesitation.
“As long as Gongzi is alive, I guard him all his life!” Lu Lili said with determination as she held the silver dragon. After a moment of consideration, she continued, “They ruined Gongzi’s cultivation ability. I’ll go and destroy the West Ocean Dragon Palace!”
“The other option is to recover his cultivation strength by godly elixir pills,” Lu Linlin said.
“Above Realm… Should we go back to Above Realm?” Lu Lili’s eyes were shining with tears when she looked at Lu Linlin.
“Where can we find godly elixir pills under Above Realm? After all, there are no elixir masters among the dragon cultivators; they don’t even have many level 9 golden pills, let alone godly elixir pills. There are no godly elixir pills under Seventh Heaven, and I can’t break into Eighth Heaven with my current strength. We can only find some godly elixir pills in Above Realm,” Lu Linlin said.
“Sister, you want to go back?” Lu Lili widened her eyes.
Returning to Above Realm, A.K.A Ninth Heaven, meant that Lu Linlin wouldn’t be able to come back.
“I’ll ask the Queen for the godly elixir pills, Sister…” Lu Lili looked at Lu Linlin sincerely and said, “You stay with the Gongzi and take good care of him. You are more considerate and smarter than me. I’ll be reassured knowing that you are looking after him.”
“I’ll go get the elixir pills, and you stay here. The Queen is good to me, and she won’t punish me. I know that you are very happy with Gongzi, and you should stay below Above Realm,” Lu Linlin said.
“Sister…” Lu Lili looked at Lu Linlin, not sure what to say.
Silence took over.
Since they didn’t return to Ninth Heaven right after they were freed, they would be punished when they returned. They both would rather go back to endure the punishment alone, leaving the other with Hao Ren, even though neither of them wanted to leave Hao Ren and each other.
Streaks of pure nature essence flew from their palms into Hao Ren’s dragon body. Standing on either side of him, they looked at each other and sustained Hao Ren’s life before they could reach a decision.
“Gongzi likes you; you stay with him.” Lu Linlin finally opened her mouth.
“I think Gongzi likes you, too,” Lu Lili replied.
They fell into silence again.
“How about this. Each of us uses half of our cultivation strength and help Gongzi repair his dragon core. However, we will fall from our current realm,” Lu Linlin said.
“If you can do it, I can too,” Lu Lili said.
“In this way, we can both stay by Gongzi’s side,” Lu Linlin said.
“Ok!” Lu Lili nodded.
Lu Linlin raised her hand, and the cotton curtain that was hanging in the room flew into her hand.
Draping the curtain gently over Hao Ren’s silver dragon body, Lu Linlin abruptly put more nature essence into her hands.
In fact, they both planned to do this when they were carrying Hao Ren to Fifth Heaven. However, cultivation strength and realms were essential to cultivators, and neither of them wanted to force the other to sacrifice her cultivation strength for Hao Ren just because she wanted to save him using this method.
Without hesitation, Lu Lili followed suit and injected more nature essence into Hao Ren’s body.
To completely repair Hao Ren’s dragon core, they would have to sacrifice half of their cultivation strength. Was it worth it? They didn’t know.
To sacrifice two Qian-level strengths for a Zhen-level strength… Lu Linlin and Lu Lili exchanged a look and gritted their teeth.
Looking from a distance at the back mountain, the elders and disciples of White Sand Sect saw hundreds of colorful sword energies dance in the sky above the back mountain.
Some of the elders and Sect Master Wang found the sword energies quite familiar. Soaring in the high sky, the 640 sword energies gradually merged and turned into 320 sword energies before merging again into 160 sword energies. Each time they combined, the sword energies got more dazzling.
The sword energies were the soldiers, and the cultivator was the general!
The sword energies that were flying there were, in fact, Hao Ren’s nature essence!
The sword energies intensified as Hao Ren’s nature essence gradually condensed and elevated.
Two three-petal lotuses that were as big as half a mountain slowly rose on the south and north side of the back mountain.
According to the legends, only the grandmaster of the Soul Formation Realm could cultivate natal five-colored lotuses!
Above Qi Refinement was Core Formation; above Core Formation was Nascent Soul; above Nascent Soul was Soul Formation; above Soul Formation was Lotus Formation!
The three petals of the two flawless lotuses slowly began to spread, and a pure white light enveloped the entire White Sand Sect. The thousands of sects in the area were stunned at this miracle, and the spirit beasts on Fifth Heaven roared uneasily.
When the spiritual lotuses appeared, a phenomenon would occur!!
The huge lotuses nurtured the 160 five-elemental sword energies from both sides.
The lotuses emitted pure chaotic nature essence which could nurture and repair everything and destroy anything!
Lu Linlin and Lu Lili were using their natal lotuses to repair Hao Ren’s dragon core!
The magnificent view t
hat was happening on the back mountain was the process of the Lu sisters burning their cultivation strengths.
If one of the petals broke, Lu Linlin’s and Lu Lili’s cultivation strength would drop by half.
With their unique cultivation technique, one petal was equivalent to the full cultivation strength of a top-tier Nascent Soul Realm cultivator!
With the foundations of the three-petal lotuses, they were able to progress at a great speed. Losing one petal meant great damage to their cultivation foundation!
They were only able to reach their current three-petal lotus realm after 1,000 years of cultivation. Now to save Hao Ren, to stay with him, and to be around each other, they were sacrificing all they had with gritted teeth!
Two lotuses rotated slowly in the sky, emitting white lighting and increasing the essence intensity of the surrounding area!
The cultivators of White Sand Sect who were closest to the back mountain suddenly felt the intensity of nature essence increase by 100 times!
They were stunned and felt ecstatic.
Disregarding their dignities, the elders immediately sat down cross-legged and started to cultivate. After all, with the essence intensity increasing by 100 times, this environment was better than that on Seventh Heaven, and they must take the opportunity to get stronger!
Soaring between the two lotuses, the 160 sword energies swiftly strengthened themselves in the essence intensity that was 1,000 times greater than before.
All the sects around the White Sand Sect had sensed the sudden increase in essence intensity. After some bafflement, they all sat down to cultivate.
As the cultivators in the area went crazy over the sudden increase of essence intensity on Fifth Heaven, the two three-petal lotuses began to wither.
“What is love? Why do people want to live and die for it…”
With a slight sigh, a bright light beam shot down from Sixth Heaven.
The three-petal lotuses that were about to lose one petal each were instantly reinvigorated!
Immediately, the essence intensity on Fifth Heaven began to drop quickly.
The cultivators who had been trying hard to absorb the dense nature essence suddenly felt like the essences in their bodies were quickly pouring out!
A grandmaster of the Soul Formation Realm!!!
368 Standard Rescue??
Two flashing three-petal lotuses floated to the sky on top of the mountain in the back. A five-color holy light was emitting down from the high sky.
The cultivators on Fifth Heaven had never seen this kind of phenomenon; their entire bodies turned weak as they worshipped it one after another.
The sword energies that were flying between the two lotuses rose suddenly, rotating continuously to form Yin and Yang forces. Then, it shrank into a dazzling gold core.
“It’s an Incarnation!” Sect Master Wang saw this spectacle and couldn’t help but exclaim.
He had heard about a type of superior cultivation technique that could cultivate nature essence outside of one’s body and echo with heaven and earth. The phenomenon he was seeing now was undoubtedly a cultivator tempering his or her golden core outside of his or her body and taking in the nature essence directly from the surroundings. Being capable of doing this, the cultivator must be a master of masters!
Roar!
A silver dragon rushed out from the back mountain and into the sky.
It had no scales or horns; it was a Chi Dragon!
This dragon was merely a projection, but it was thousands of meters long and had a pressing aura!
Vital soul!
The vital soul of a dragon cultivator!
The Chi Dragon hovered once around the back mountain, opened its mouth to swallow the gold core, dived down abruptly, and vanished.
Inside the house, Lu Linlin and Lu Lili felt a pure and immense nature essence returning to their bodies.
Then, the four hands that were pressing on top of Hao Ren’s silver dragon body couldn’t endure this kind of energy and were pushed back.
At the same time, the five-colored light beam that came from upper heavens vanished gradually.
Lu Linlin and Lu Lili both felt that the spiritual sense that was powerful enough to cover a few heavens. It was vague, yet it seemed to be somewhat familiar.
“That old lady from the shabby old house…”
Lu Linlin and Lu Lili looked at each other and thought of the same person at the same time.
They had fought against the old Grandma and clearly knew that the old Grandma had the strength of four-petal lotus.
Lu Linlin and Lu Lili wouldn’t be a match for the old Grandma even if they were at their primes!
They wanted to force the Old Grandma into not getting involved with Hao Ren’s matter, but they couldn’t defeat her…
Unexpectedly, this Soul Formation Realm cultivator rescued them!
Because Lu Linlin and Lu Lili unleashed their natal spiritual lotuses and caused nature essence on Fifth Heaven to fluctuate significantly, the old Grandma who was somewhere above Fifth Heaven sensed all this.
The godly light that covered the back mountain started to withdraw. The Lu sisters looked up, but they weren’t able to sense the exact location of this cultivator.
She might be on Sixth Heaven, Seventh Heaven, or even…
Even though the old Grandma helped them, she had no intention of meeting them.
The minds of the Soul Formation Realm cultivators were unique; the old Grandma might not be willing to help next time despite helping this time. She aided them probably because she was doing a favor for Xie Yujia.
In fact, not only the cultivators on Fifth Heaven were astonished; this godly light that passed through Sixth Heaven and Seventh Heaven!
The White Sand Sect’s back mountain returned to normal. However, the cultivators who were crawling on the ground didn’t dare to move.
Even though their strengths were weak, they could tell that if they got hit by that energy, even slightly, it would be enough for them to disappear 100 times!
The hundred-meter long silver dragon that occupied the bed emitted a soft light, indicating that Hao Ren’s meridians were rehabilitating.
Every single realm enhancement of dragon cultivators would come with tremendous change. Dragons were demon beasts in a sense, and the elevation in realms would stimulate their godly dragon bloodline and bring them more power.
“Gongzi’s consciousness is concealed. Isn’t this a sign of him breaking through to Gen-level?” Lu Lili turned to look at Lu Linlin and asked.
There were trails of tears on her face. The tears that flowed down earlier had already dried up, but the trails of tears didn’t destroy her beauty but made her seemed delicate and pitiful.
“That Soul Formation Realm cultivator left another surge of energy for Gongzi. It is probably to help Gongzi achieve a breakthrough,” Lu Linlin said.
She was still nervous and didn’t dare to relax just yet.
The soft glow gradually grew brighter and brighter. On top of the head of the silver dragon who was still covered by the curtain, two small bumps appeared.
A dragon that had horns but didn’t have scales was called a Qiu Dragon!
Unexpectedly, Hao Ren’s dragon core evolved, and he became a Qiu Dragon!
The two small bumps still didn’t break through the skin, and the extraordinarily pure yet potent energy lurked inside the body of the dragon.
The soft glow started gradually disappeared, and the silver dragon that was more than 100 meters long slowly turned back into its human form.
The curtain that Lu Linlin put on top of Hao Ren was now just covering up to his waist.
Even so, seeing Hao Ren half naked, Lu Lili’s face turned red while she bit her lip.
Lu Linlin covered her mouth, laughed, and walked outside of the room. She saw a robe in the courtyard, picked it up, and returned into the room.
“What are you waiting for? Go help Gongzi to change!” Lu Linlin threw the robe at Lu Lili and said.
“Sis, can you do it instead?” Lu Lili stood up in embarrassment and said to Lu Linlin.
“These things should be normal for us. Why are you still shy?” Lu Linlin asked deliberately.
“Hmm…,” Lu Lili thought for a while, nodded, and helped Lu Linlin hold Hao Ren up. Their four hands helped Hao Ren put on the robe.
“Sis, your face also turned red,” Lu Lili glanced at Lu Linlin and said.
“How is that possible? This is what we are supposed to do for Gongzi!” Lu Linlin straightened her body and justified herself.
The moment her hands relaxed a bit, Hao Ren’s body tilted slightly and fell into Lu Linlin’s arms.
Lu Linlin actually flushed this time, but Hao Ren didn’t wake up at that moment. Lu Linlin panicked and pushed Hao Ren up again in a hurry.
Her heartbeat suddenly doubled, but her expression still looked calm. She began to lecture Lu Lili, “Sis, why are you so clumsy? Hold Gongzi tightly!”
Lu Lili, who got scolded, hurried up and took Hao Ren in her arms and used her shoulder to support him.
“I didn’t ask you to hug Gongzi. Nevermind! Gongzi is dressed now. Let him lie down,” Lu Linlin slightly coughed twice and said.
This feeling of panic was a first for her.
Lu Lili raised her hands to support Hao Ren’s back and helped Hao Ren lie down on the bed again; she tried to be as gentle as possible. Half of her body was pressed against Hao Ren’s chest as she put Hao Ren down little by little to avoid him bumping into things.
“If Gongzi is awake, we wouldn’t be able to serve him like this,” Lu Linlin couldn’t help but say; she suddenly felt a bit of jealousy.
“Okay, I know!” Lu Lili nodded while blushing; she could tell that her sister’s mood wasn’t so great at this moment.
Hao Ren was lying down again.
Lu Linlin and Lu Lili looked at each other without talking.
Time passed by slowly.
“Sis, it has been half an hour, and Gongzi is still not awake,” Lu Lili broke the silence and said in a whisper.
Lu Linlin put her hand on Hao Ren’s wrist. “The meridians in Gongzi’s body are normal…”
