The remaining 73 Core Formation Realm cultivators of Sky Mountain Sect threw all types of shining dharma treasures at Hao Ren.
They wanted to capture Hao Ren, but no one dared to get near him! After all, they witnessed what happened to their peers who got near Hao Ren!
Even the First Elder’s most beloved disciple, Mo Lianshan, was knocked into the cliff, and it was unknown whether he was dead or alive! Mo Lianshan was the disciple who had the most potential to charge at the Nascent Soul Realm in the next few years!
Hao Ren shot out the 320 sword energies, knocking away all those dharma treasures.
Xie Yujia and Zhao Yanzi were in the valley looking up in the sky to watch Hao Ren. They were at first worried but now excited!
Duan Yao had quietly sneaked to the cave entrance to escape. She saw through the energy sphere of the valley and witnessed Hao Ren fighting with tens of cultivators at a time. She was so shocked that her mouth opened wide.
The three small sects around Ethereal Summit which were within the outer energy sphere were even more shocked.
They looked up and saw that Hao Ren fought against tens of Core Formation Realm cultivators of Sky Mountain Sect. They were all deeply amazed.
Especially Wu Yan of Qin Yin Sect who had recently reached the Core Formation Realm. Her eyes were shaking, and she realized that she knew nothing about this world!
With this kind of strength, he could even wipe out the entire Fifth Heaven!
The Herb King Master’s direct disciple was so powerful. What realm was that jolly Herb King Master who came visit them at Qin Yin Sect last time!
“No wonder we couldn’t sense a single bit of nature essence! It was because she had reached such a level that she merged into one with nature!” she thought.
“Hongyuan Master, if you can help me capture him, I’ll give you a rejuvenation pill!”
The loud, thunderous voice sounded again.
Hongyuan Master heard it and was moved.
A rejuvenation pill was a level 4 elixir pill. It had the power of prolonging life for at least 100 years. A Nascent Soul Realm cultivator would be able to live for close to 1000 years; that was why to Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators, they were basically immortals.
However, Hongyuan Master had remained at low-tier Nascent Soul Realm for 200 years. Adding on the cultivation years he had in the past, he only had 200 to 300 years left…
“Kiddo, you got unlucky!”
Hongyuan Master thought for only a second, and a golden bell suddenly appeared in his hand.
As long as he would kill Hao Ren, he would also wipe out all the cultivators in the valley and the three small sects.
He had to kill everyone because he had to destroy evidence. Even if the Herb King Master came back, it might not be able to be traced back to him!
A rejuvenation pill that could increase his lifespan by 100 years was worth it for him to fight for!
601 A Bunch of Trash!
There were at least hundreds if not thousands of cultivators who had died in the hands of Hongyuan Master in the last few hundred years. Among those who died, plenty had great potential. However, those who would become top cultivators in the cultivation world tended to be those who had good potential and were ruthless.
Hongyuan Master who was a normal cultivator that came from a small sect could only be able to struggle into the Nascent Soul Ream in a few hundred years if they had great luck and careful and ruthless personalities.
“I’ll take your life!” The look on Hongyuan Master’s face suddenly turned ferocious.
Ding! Ding! The golden bell let out waves of crisp rings.
The Core Formation Realm cultivators of Sky Mountain Sect all covered their ears because they feel like their heads were going to explode.
Those Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators who had been watching from afar all fell into the valley one by one.
The Nascent Soul Realm cultivators would at least have one or two powerful dharma treasures. Hongyuan Master had found this Soul-Seeking Bell in a deserted cave, and it was a dharma treasure that he had used frequently in the past 200 years; he was smooth with it!
From his perspective, Hao Ren was going to join the hundreds of people whom he had killed.
Virtues didn’t worth much in the cultivation world. In the last few hundred years, the number of seniors and juniors that Hongyuan Master had killed could fill this valley!
The disciples of Nascent Soul Realm cultivators were more troubling, but he still killed some!
The Core Formation Realm cultivators of Sky Mountain Sect hurried to collect their dharma treasures and hide afar.
“Hao Ren!”
Inside the valley, Zhao Yanzi and Xie Yujia shouted worriedly.
They were standing inside the valley, and there were still two energy spheres protecting them so that the bell didn’t affect them yet.
It was the first time that Hao Ren was faced with such sound wave attacks.
The sound of this golden bell was bizarre; it came in waves and made his head dizzy. Little White was shaky as well and went in circles continuously.
Ding!
Hongyuan Master shook the Soul-Seeking Bell again.
He initially didn’t want to attack Hao Ren directly and wanted Sky Mountain Sect to take all the blame. However, a rejuvenation pill was worth taking a risk for!
From his insight, he believed that Hao Ren could reach the Nascent Soul Realm. However, Hao Ren was out of luck bumping into him!
Many cultivators died in battles even though they could have reached the Nascent Soul Realm!
Hongyuan Master had made up his mind so that he would not let Hao Ren live! Since he had already destroyed the path that he left for himself, he would directly kill the opponent! This was the rule in the cultivation world!
Three pills appeared on Hao Ren’s hand, and he swallowed them all.
“At this moment, no matter what pills you eat, they would be useless!” Hongyuan Master saw that Hao Ren was already dizzy, so he let out another ring of the Soul-Seeking Bell.
The golden Soul-Seeking bell let out golden waves that were even visible to the human eye. All the trees rapidly withered in the places where the waves went by.
“Little White, go back!” Hao Ren stepped on Little White’s back and told it to return to the valley.
Then the 320 sword energies formed a sharp cone and charged at the golden bell!
“It’s useless!” Hongyuan Master suddenly unleashed all of his nature essence.
He knew Hao Ren wasn’t weak so that he couldn’t let his guard down. At the same time, he wanted to show those Sky Mountain Sect cultivators the strength he had!
His face turned red, and his hands were all pumped with blood. He let out two streaks of nature essence and hit the golden bell.
The golden bell let out a clear sound, and it suddenly started to spin. Then, it shot a black light that was aimed at Hao Ren!
“Ah…” Inside the valley, Zhao Yanzi and Xie Yujia both started to shriek.
Duan Yao who was standing at the entrance of the cave also watched anxiously.
If such a black light were to hit Hao Ren directly, Hao Ren would be turned into blood!
She hated Hao Ren but thought that he wasn’t evil. Also, she wanted to take care of Hao Ren herself. When she saw that Hao Ren was about to be smashed into flesh, she felt shocked and scared.
“Go!”
Hao Ren suddenly threw out a dharma treasure from his hand, and golden light shone!
Sky-Turning Stamp!
However, the power contained within the dharma treasure was far beyond the Core Formation Realm.
The Sky-Turning Stamp expanded ten times. The moment it left Hao Ren’s hand, it turned into the size of a small mountain!
“Low-tier Nascent Soul Realm! That’s impossible!” Hongyuan Master was very shocked.
Hao Ren let out the power of low-tier Nascent Soul Realm!
The Sky-Turning Stamp was of mu
ch better quality than the Soul-Seeking Bell. It directly crushed the Soul-Seeking Bell before charging directly at Hongyuan Master!
“That’s impossible! That’s impossible!” Hongyuan Master kept yelling and hastily threw out a circular treasure.
The sword energies that Hao Ren shot out initially went around the golden bell and attacked Hongyuan Master from his two sides.
Hongyuan Master used his hands to defend against the two grounds of sword energies; he didn’t really care about these sword energies; he was worried about the Sky-Turning Stamp.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
He suddenly sensed that three things jumped out of the sword energies and dashed into his body.
Dharma notes!
Hongyuan Master suddenly realized that although the sword energies couldn’t penetrate his body, particular types of dharma notes were able to dig directly into his body!
As a result, the nature essence of his Nascent Soul Realm suddenly paused a little.
After the Sky-Turning Stamp had crushed the Soul-Seeking Bell, it did not weaken at all. The little-mountain-like Sky-Turning Stamp then destroyed the circular treasure that lost nature essence support!
That circular treasure was Hongyuan Master’s natal dharma treasure; he would rarely use it since he was now at the Nascent Soul Realm. Now that it was crushed, Hongyuan Master spat out a mouthful of blood!
The nature essence in the Sky-Turning Stamp was used up, so it rapidly diminished in size. However, its power was still there!
Bam!
The Sky-Turning Stamp directly hit Hongyuan Master’s chest and went straight through.
His nature essence had only been locked for one second, but one second was sufficient!
“That’s impossible…” Hongyuan Master spat out his last words, still not believing what had just happened. After his last words, a red baby-shaped nascent soul appeared out of his forehead slowly.
Nascent Soul Realm cultivators were different from Core Formation Realm cultivators. When Core Formation Realm cultivators died, their cores would break. However, for Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, they could destroy their bodies during dangerous times and escape in their nascent soul form. Then, they could take a weaker cultivator’s body as their own during a limited amount of time! However, one could only use this type of technique once in a lifetime!
The red nascent soul was filled with shock and fright, and it escaped toward the southwest direction.
Whoosh! A black longsword shot out of the valley and pierced through the red nascent soul.
“Squeak! Squak!”
The nascent soul let out two screams and turned into blue smoke.
The one who threw the black longsword was Mo Lianshan!
If Hongyuan Master’s nascent soul could escape and find a suitable body, then he might be able to reach the Nascent Soul Realm in a few hundred years. There was no way that Mo Lianshan would let him do that after what he had done!
Hongyuan Master never expected that he would lose his life in this situation! He thought that amongst these Core Formation Realm cultivators, there would be no one who could take his life, and it was a situation where he could only gain and not lose!
However, it was the end of his luck!
Buzz!
The Sky-Turning Stamp was damaged a little. It spun half a circle in the sky before returning to Hao Ren’s hand.
The Core Formation Realm cultivators of Sky Mountain Sect all looked at Hao Ren with terror. Those Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators still hadn’t climbed up from the valley after they were shaken down by Hongyuan Master’s golden bell.
Once he finished off Hongyuan Master, Hao Ren took back the Sky-Turning Stamp and flew toward the valley.
It was dead silent on Sixth Heaven. No one knew whether the Grand Uncle-Master of Sky Mountain Sect chose to continue his seclusion cultivation or didn’t want to speak anymore.
Hao Ren had just used three level 4 enhancement pills. Those enhancement pills harmed his body a little but also increased his power for a few seconds.
Hao Ren was holding on to three enhancement pills in his hand when he flew out of the valley. He had used the Sky-Turning Stamp to alienate Hongyuan Master and Sky Mountain Sect, and then he defeated a few Core Formation Realm cultivators of Sky Mountain Sect.
If Hongyuan Master decided to attack, Hao Ren would use the enhancement pills to reach Dui-level temporarily. With the sword energies as support, he would be able to kill Hongyuan Master instantly with dharma notes if everything went according to plan.
When Little White saw Hao Ren return, it ran over and snuggled Hao Ren happily and excitedly.
Hao Ren patted its head and landed in the valley.
Hao Ren!” Xie Yujia immediately ran over and patted her chest because she was so scared.
Zhao Yanzi was so shocked that she stood at the same spot. When she saw Hao Ren coming back in one piece, she let out a sigh of relief.
Hao Ren saw Duan Yao standing at the entrance of Xie Yujia’s cave abode, and Duan Yao was suddenly scared, rushing back into the cave.
Hao Ren used her grand uncle-master’s Sky-Turning Stamp to kill a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator in a split second; this left a huge impression on her.
She was different from Xie Yujia and Zhao Yanzi since she lived on Sixth Heaven; she admired those who were strong. When she saw how powerful Hao Ren was, not only was she shocked, she also had a different thought in her mind.
In the cultivation world that was ruled by the law of the jungle, unrealistic love was of no use. Only those who were strong would survive, and that was why she ignored her senior brothers who confessed to her; she used an unreasonable attitude to scare them away.
“I reached top-tier Gen-level but would need to cultivation to stabilize it. The enemies also need to make adjustments, so they won’t attack Ethereal Summit right away,” Hao Ren said.
“OK! I’ll be in charge of staying alert. You can just rest!” Xie Yujia took the initiative and said.
“Also, I’ll leave Duan Yao to you guys,” Hao Ren said.
“Ok.” Xie Yujia nodded.
Buzz… Buzz… The golden shield that was spinning in the sky above the valley let out dazzling golden waves. It wanted to catch Hao Ren’s attention because Hao Ren had shown the presence of a mighty cultivator. As a supreme spiritual treasure, it admired that.
Hao Ren was too lazy to deal with it, so he jumped up and flew to his cave.
The golden shield shook twice in the air and shot two golden lights at Little White.
Little White was hit in the butt and felt a burning sensation. It immediately jumped up and spat two fireballs at the golden shield as a rebuttal.
The golden shield had shown signs that it acknowledged Hao Ren, but Hao Ren ignored it. Therefore, it let out its discontent on Little White.
The purple gold hairpin quietly stood in the soil, ignoring Little White and the golden shield’s fight.
Unless it met a dharma treasure of the same level, it would not defend Hao Ren on its own.
That was why Hao Ren didn’t take either the golden shield nor the purple gold hairpin when he went out to fight.
How could Hao Ren bet his life on dharma treasures that moved only based on their mood?
“Trash! A bunch of trash!” An angry shout sounded on Sixth Heaven.
602 Nine-Sky Star-Breaking Array Formation
Time slowly went by, and Hao Ren slowly recovered in his cave.
His body wasn’t affected by advancing into top-tier Gen-level. However, the three enhancement pills brought some damage to his meridian.
It was late at night, and the valley returned to its peacefulness. The golden shield and Little White didn’t fight anymore; the golden shield laid on the top of a mountain, and Little White snuggled in its cave.
Like always, the purple gold hairpin stood in the soil quietly as if it were a lost hairpin.
Inside Xie Yujia’s cave abode, Xie Yujia was patiently drawing dharma no
tes, Zhao Yanzi was sound asleep while she snuggled in a blanket, and Duan Yao’s arms and legs were tied so that she could only glare at Zhao Yanzi and Xie Yujia.
Duan Yao initially thought that they were scared of Sky Mountain Sect and wouldn’t dare to kill her.
However, now she found that Hao Ren was strong, Xie Yujia was good at creating dharma notes, and Zhao Yanzi was of pure water body type; they were all mysterious to her.
The valley that they stayed in had abundant nature essence, and the fact that Zhao Yanzi could still sleep at a time like this proved they weren’t scared of Sky Mountain Sect.
Zhao Yanzi flipped her body on the stone bed. When she looked up and saw Xie Yujia still drawing dharma notes, she thought for a few seconds and asked, “Why don’t you sleep for a bit?”
“It’s ok. I’m not tired,” Xie Yujia responded.
She had been continuously drawing essence-locking notes in the past few hours; she had created more than 100 of them. It took nature essence to draw dharma notes, but that amount of nature essence would be recovered quickly. The key thing was that it was really energy consuming.
Hao Ren might use all the dharma notes she drew in a few seconds even though she had spent hours on making them. However, if they were useful for Hao Ren, then it was all worth it.
Zhao Yanzi looked at Xie Yujia and thought for a while before saying, “Thanks… for saving me this time.”
“Hehe.” Xie Yujia smiled softly.
“However…” Zhao Yanzi paused and continued to say, “I won’t give Hao Ren to you.”
Xie Yujia also paused and then nodded. “Okay.”
She understood Zhao Yanzi and secretly admired her for declaring her stance so clearly. She liked how direct Zhao Yanzi was. She wanted to be more direct like her, but she just couldn’t.
Xie Yujia secretly started to compare herself with Zhao Yanzi. She tried to simulate a situation where Zhao Yanzi risked her life to save her, and she felt like she would probably give up on Hao Ren.
Duan Yao opened her eyes wide and was listening to the conversation between Zhao Yanzi and Xie Yujia attentively. She guessed that they weren’t Hao Ren’s concubines but junior sisters.
“If that is true… then their master, the Herb King Master, must be unbelievably mighty…” she thought.
