Dragon King's Son-In-Law

by Dragon King

  Looking at them helplessly, Hao Ren flicked his fingers on their foreheads and thought back on that tempting scene, wondering if that was the legendary dual-cultivation.

  “It seems that Sister Su Han’s note has been dissolved.” Watching Su Han disappear in the distance swiftly, Xie Yujia puffed her cheek and said, “It must be dissolved little by little. I made an essence-unlocking note, but it was useless.”

  “Essence-unlocking note?!” The Lu sisters looked at Xie Yujia in surprise.

  “Yeah.” Xie Yujia nodded. “I tried it on Sister Su Han.”

  The Lu sisters rolled their eyes and called out in admiration, “Big Zhumu!”

  “What?” Xie Yujia looked at them in surprise.

  “It takes a Core Formation Realm cultivator to dissolve the note for a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator. If Gongzi used the note, it would have been dissolved immediately!” Lu sisters looked at each other.

  If they had known that Xie Yujia could make essence-unlocking notes, they wouldn’t have spent four hours dissolving the note. Instead, they would have dissolved it in one second!

  “The Big Zhumu is silly in a cute way!” they thought.

  613 Nascent Soul Realm, Catastrophe

  -On Sixth Heaven, in the hexagonal double cornice palace in New Sun Sect-

  A lot of Core Formation Realm cultivators were patrolling around the specially designed palace.

  Dozens of Core Formation cultivators sat in chairs which were lined neatly in the palace. In front of each chair was a small square table with high-quality tea in exquisite teacups.

  However, the cultivators looked gloomy, and none of them were in the mood to savor the tea.

  These old cultivators who seemed to be in the Core Formation Realm were actually the grand cultivators of Nascent Soul Realm who had been reduced to the Core Formation Realm by Qingfeng Hermit!

  When they got the news that Lingwu Master of Sky Mountain Sect went to Fifth Heaven several hours before his seclusion cultivation ended, they stayed put due to their fear of Lingwu Master’s strength.

  However, when the other eight Nascent Soul Realm cultivators of Sky Mountain Sect also rushed into Fifth Heaven, these Nascent Soul Realm cultivators couldn’t stay put anymore.

  Fifth Heaven had little resources and thin nature essence, but it didn’t mean that there were no treasures on Fifth Heaven. Most importantly, the Nine Dragon Palace, the holy palace of the dragon cultivators, was hiding somewhere on Fifth Heaven.

  With Sky Mountain Sect moving in large groups and the phenomenon appearing on Fifth Heaven, they suspected that special treasures had appeared in the world, or the Sky Mountain Sect had found the hidden Nine Dragon Palace, which was why they swarmed to Fifth Heaven.

  Unfortunately, they were struck by Qingfeng Hermit from Eighth Heaven, and the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators of Sixth Heaven were harmed together.

  Except for the few Nascent Soul Realm cultivators who had been cultivating in seclusion, all the other Nascent Soul Realm cultivators had fallen to the Core Formation Realm!

  It was a disaster for Sixth Heaven!

  For hours after they rushed back to Sixth Heaven, these grand cultivators had immediately cultivated in seclusion, but they couldn’t break the lock no matter how hard they tried or how many elixir pills they had eaten.

  Some Nascent Soul Realm cultivators who had connections to Seventh Heaven had asked for help, but even the grand cultivators on Seventh Heaven could do nothing about it!

  As a high-level five-elemental note, the essence-locking note was made by a dharma note master with deep five-elemental cultivation strength and the ability to use the five kinds of nature essence at the same time.

  Also, this note was launched by a Soul Formation Realm cultivator, and its power was still great after traveling through Seventh and Sixth Heaven.

  After taking all kinds of elixirs and trying all kinds of dharma notes in vain, some of them even bombed their bodies with dharma treasures, but the result was the same.

  The masters calmed down and came together to discuss this.

  “With the current situation, say whatever is on your mind.” Sitting at the head position in the palace, Lieyang Master said to the people here.

  As the Sect Master of New Sun Sect, he had been a grand cultivator in top-tier Nascent Soul Realm before the essence-locking note hit him.

  About 200 hundred years ago, New Sun Sect had been a sect on Seventh Heaven. After several peak Nascent Soul Realm cultivators passed away and the loss of three top-tier Nascent Soul Realm cultivators in some mystic territories, New Sun Sect’s strength dropped greatly with only 12 Nascent Soul Realm cultivators left. Under pressure from the other seven sects on Seventh Sect, New Sun Sect had to move to Sixth Heaven.

  After they came to Sixth Heaven where the nature essence was less intense, New Sun Sect had declined further. There were only eight Nascent Soul Realm cultivators in the sect, even one less than Sky Mountain Sect.

  Sky Mountain Sect had emerged swiftly with their unique skills in elixir making and beast raising and possessed more Nascent Soul Realm cultivators than New Sun Sect, becoming one of the most powerful sects on Sixth Heaven. It had been growing steadily, with the goal of elevating into Seventh Heaven.

  Of course, the battle with Ethereal Summit had greatly damaged the middle-level force of Sky Mountain Sect, turning its ambition of entering Seventh Heaven into a far-away dream.

  “Lieyang Master.” The cultivator sitting in the 12th chair cupped his hands. “Huoye Master and I have asked Immortal Guo Wang of Seventh Heaven about the grand cultivator who attacked us, and he said the cultivator should be the legendary Qingfeng Hermit.”

  “Qingfeng Hermit…”

  The cultivators in the palace repeated this name and looked at each other.

  As a Soul Formation Realm cultivator on Seventh Heaven, Immortal Guo Wang shouldn’t be wrong.

  As the upper-level cultivators in the cultivation world, the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators knew something about the Soul Formation Realm cultivators.

  Besides, the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators on Sixth Heaven were different from the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators on Fifth Heaven; they had more information than the latter.

  All the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators had heard about the name of Qingfeng Hermit who was said to be the toughest Soul Formation Realm cultivator, and even other Soul Formation Realm cultivators had to be careful around her.

  This Soul Formation Realm cultivator was among the rare ones who cultivated the five elements simultaneously and comprehended the Heavenly Dao with dharma notes. Even the Soul Formation Realm cultivators couldn’t block her dharma notes.

  This Soul Formation Realm cultivator roamed around the world disguised in all kinds of identities, and the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators had to remember her name so that they wouldn’t offend her by mistake.

  Of course, her name was only known to the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators. Otherwise, any cultivator could use her name to frighten away the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators.

  “Immortal Guo Wang said that the essence-locking note is different from the ordinary dharma notes since its effects are permanent as long as we use nature essence. Except…”

  All the masters sat up abruptly and listened to Songye Master attentively.

  “Except for Qingfeng Hermit dissolving the notes herself,” Songye master continued while he watched the reactions of the surrounding masters.

  “Ah…” All the masters in the palace exhaled in disappointment, and their faces turned dark again.

  Qingfeng Hermit was on Eighth Heaven; who could go up onto Eighth Heaven?

  Besides, even if they could find Qingfeng Hermit, who could ask her to do the favor and dissolve the note?

  Just like how Nascent Soul Realm masters had no regard for Core Formation Realm cultivators, Soul Formation Realm cultivators would ignore the request of Nascent Soul Realm cultivators.

  “What happened to Xiefeng Master?” Lieyang Mas
ter glanced at the empty chair at the end of the row and asked.

  “He asked six disciples to build the Fire Light Array to burn off the dharma note in his body with the method of elixir making. However, the note wasn’t dissolved, and he was severely injured,” one of the masters said.

  The incident sounded ridiculous and funny in the past. However, no one laughed right now.

  After all, to dissolve the note, these masters had also tried all kinds of silly methods after all the regular ways failed.

  “This incident happened all because of Sky Mountain Sect. I think…” Another master broke the silence and said tentatively.

  Everyone turned to look at him.

  “It began with Sky Mountain Sect, and it should end with Sky Mountain Sect. I think the 26 sects should force Sky Mountain Sect to hand over the person responsible for the incident at Ethereal Summit, which probably will appease Qingfeng Hermit enough to dissolve the notes for us,” the cultivator said as he looked around at the people in the room.

  The others didn’t speak and thought of his suggestion. If they used this plan, the 26 sects would pressure Sky Mountain Sect together, but the latter wasn’t a weak sect. After dropping to the Core Formation Realm, the former Nascent Soul Realm cultivators had returned to their states hundreds of years ago. With the great decrease of cultivation strengths, they couldn’t use their dharma treasures and would probably be killed by a couple of elite Core Formation Realm cultivators of Sky Mountain Sect.

  If they asked the Core Formation Realm cultivators to fight for them, there would be heavy casualties. Since none of the 26 sects wished to take the lead in the battle, there would be chaos, and Sky Mountain would probably fight back fiercely, causing great casualties for the sects.

  At this thought, all the masters remained silent.

  Sky Mountain Sect had been growing fast, and these sects wanted to suppress Sky Mountain Sect while the latter was greatly damaged this time. However, without Nascent Soul Realm cultivators leading the charge, it was hard for them to fight Sky Mountain Sect which possessed lots of elixirs.

  On Sixth Heaven, each sect wanted to take possession of another sect. Now was a great time for them to split the territory of Sky Mountain Sect whose power had been greatly damaged with all nine Nascent Soul Realm masters reduced to weak realms, but the problem was that they themselves had also been harmed!

  There were almost no Nascent Soul Realm cultivators on Sixth Heaven!

  It was horrible! Instead of taking possession of others, they were worried that they might be forced into affiliated sects by the sects on Seventh Heaven or fall onto Fifth Heaven!

  It was a time full of opportunities and risks!

  Anyone who could recover the Nascent Soul Realm first would have a great advantage over the others. For two sects that had similar strengths before, the one with Nascent Soul Realm cultivators would have all the good cards while the one without Nascent Soul Realm would be in disaster!

  “Since no one can offer a solution, we’ll continue the discussion another day!” Lieyang Master waved his hand.

  With their respective hidden agendas, the masters ended the meeting cheerlessly.

  However, the masters all had a secret plan, and that was to contact Ethereal Summit on Fifth Heaven in secret and ask the mysterious Herb King Master to dissolve the essence-locking note for them at any price he or she asked!

  614 The Wind Rose and the Clouds Surged up

  Walking out from New Sun Sect’s hexagonal double cornice palace, the masters left on their respective dharma treasures.

  They knew that the key of dissolving the note lied in Ethereal Summit on Fifth Heaven because only the mysterious Herb King Master in Ethereal Summit had direct connections with Qingfeng Hermit.

  They had attended the meeting that Lieyang Master organized to see if there were other solutions.

  After exchanging information, they found that none of them could find a way to get rid of the essence-locking note, not even the Soul Formation Realm cultivators since they didn’t dare to dissolve the forbidden note made by Qingfeng Hermit.

  Even the Soul Formation Realm cultivators on Seventh Heaven dreaded the mention of Qingfeng Hermit’s name.

  These masters felt like they were victims. They had been sitting in their sects when they sensed the unusual energy fluctuation that was a result of Sky Mountain Sect, and they all came out to investigate.

  They had thought Sky Mountain Sect had found some treasures on Fifth Heaven. When they got near, they found that Sky Mountain Sect had been attacking a small valley on Fifth Heaven.

  They didn’t plan to intervene the attacks against the valley that had some reputation on Fifth Heaven, but they wanted to take a share of the treasures if Sky Mountain Sect defeated Ethereal Summit.

  The moment they made the decision and swarmed over, Qingfeng Hermit who was on Eighth Heaven attacked and struck all the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators around the valley.

  If they had known that Herb King Valley had connections with a grand cultivator on Eighth Heaven, they would have made a move earlier!!

  They would have sided with Ethereal Summit even though it meant that they would make an enemy of Sky Mountain Sect!

  These masters turned a big circle after flying out of New Sun Sect and descended to Fifth Heaven in secret.

  In the past, they had been arrogant when they came to Fifth Heaven and would kill any Core Formation Realm cultivators they didn’t like.

  However, they were now sneaking into Fifth Heaven, more cautious than the Core Formation Realm cultivators on Fifth Heaven.

  If the masters sweeping across Sixth Heaven were unlucky, they would be killed by the Core Formation Realm cultivators on Fifth Heaven!

  Swoosh! A master flew toward Ethereal Summit from the east, stepping on a black shell-shaped dharma treasure.

  “Hehe, Xiefeng Master, I thought you were resting in the sect.” A voice came from behind.

  “Hahaha… I came to Fifth Heaven for a respite. Maybe I can find a chance of breakthrough here!” Xiefeng Master laughed while a green dagger appeared in his palm.

  They had all been reduced to the Core Fruition Realm, but they were at different tiers of the Core Formation Realm according to their original tiers in the Nascent Soul Realm.

  Xiefeng Master had fallen from the low-tier of Nascent Soul Realm to the low-tier of Core Fruition Realm, which meant that his strength was even lower than some of the Core Formation Realm cultivators on Fifth Heaven.

  “Hongmei Master, are you here to relax, too?” Xiefeng Master asked while retreating to the distance.

  “I came to Fifth Heaven in the hope to find some elixir pills and spiritual herbs that can dissolve this powerful note!” Hongmei Master said while he flew toward Xiefeng Master.

  While he spoke, the back of his hand shot a green light toward Xiefeng Master.

  “Humph!” Xiefeng Master shot out the green dagger.

  Bang!

  The two dharma treasures collided with each other when a white light shot toward Xiefeng Master.

  “You…” Xiefeng Master looked at them in shock. He tried to run but found he couldn’t launch his flight technique since he was no longer at the Nascent Soul Realm.

  Bang! Xiefeng Master’s physical body was destroyed, and his nascent soul that was emitting green light came out.

  The green light and the white light shot over swiftly and instantly the nascent soul of Xiefeng Master was turned into nothing.

  The attackers were masters of Dragon Tiger Sect and Double Moon Sect. After killing Xiefeng Master together, they got rid of a powerful enemy for their sects.

  Seeing Xiefeng Master’s nascent soul flying out, they were relieved to know that the essence-locking note had just sealed their realms, and their nascent souls were intact.

  Hongmei Master of Dragon Tiger Sect and Xingchen Master of Double Moon Sect withdrew their dharma treasures and exchanged a look.

  “We can’t stay here for long. It seems Bro
ther Xingchen shares my thoughts and we must hurry up and ask for help from Ethereal Summit,” Hongmei Master said sincerely.

  “Brother, you are right. We can’t allow the other masters to get there before us.” Xingchen Master nodded and immediately flew toward Ethereal Summit.

  Sensing that Hongmei Master didn’t follow him, he looked back and saw a green light shooting toward his back!

  “You…” Xingchen Master widened his eye and hurriedly shot out his white dharma treasure.

  However, it was too late, and his dharma treasure covered only half of the distance when the green sword pierced his heart.

  The dark red nascent soul struggled out from the top of his head, but Hongmei Master destroyed it with a hot light.

  Putting away the two masters’ storage bags, Hongmei Master looked around cautiously. After making sure no other cultivators were lurking around, he flew toward Ethereal Summit stepping on a green light.

  He must keep his trip to Ethereal Summit in secret. If he brought a dozen Core Formation Realm cultivators to protect him, he would feel ashamed besides attracting the attention of the other sects of Sixth Heaven.

  Taking several high-quality dharma treasures of the Core Formation Realm with him, Hongmei Master came to Ethereal Summit uneasily.

  The valley was quiet.

  The three small sects around the valley were brightly lit.

  Hongmei Master was cautious with these small sects, which he could have destroyed with one finger in the past, because the four to five Core Formation Realm cultivators in the three small sects could kill him.

  “I, a junior, beg for a meeting with Herb King Master!” Hongmei Master landed lightly at the entrance of the valley and called out respectfully.

  Since it was the Herb King Master’s territory where hundreds of Core Formation Realm cultivators of Sky Mountain Sect had died, he thought it was safe here.

  After this incident, who would dare to mess around here?

  The valley with the dark red energy sphere was silent. After a moment of consideration, Homgmei Master took out a voice transmission note and sent it into the valley with his name and sect.
