Seeing Little White becoming invisible, Hao Ren was also surprised.
Since it possessed both fire elements and ice elements, Little White hadn’t revealed any other abilities.
Hao Ren was surprised that this snow lion was able to achieve stealth at level 5.
If Hao Ren didn’t have the mental connection with it, he wouldn’t be able to find its accurate position!
As a level 5 snow lion, Little White was equivalent to a mid-tier Nascent Soul Realm cultivator. Together with this stealth ability, it could be almost unrivaled!
Hum… A slight ripple appeared before the invisible Little White. It was Hao Ren’s weak sword energies touching the array formation that was created by Mystic Sound Faction.
A realm-breaking note was shot out from Hao Ren’s hand, floating toward the array formation steadily close to the ground.
Pop.
With a slight crisp sound, the array formation had a small crack in it, and the invisible Little White crawled through.
It was perfect teamwork.
Lingwu Master widened his eyes in astonishment. If he hadn’t stared at the direction of the Black Herb Spiritual Fields, he wouldn’t have noticed the small fluctuation in the space around the array formation.
The remaining sword energies accompanied Little White forward and met another array formation beside a big spiritual field.
Hao Ren shot another realm-breaking note through the crack in the first array formation and quickly broke the second array formation as well.
As ultimate treasures, the realm-breaking notes could break any array formation, but only Hao Ren who could control sword energies could send the notes forward close to the ground.
Lingwu Master tensed up when he saw Hao Ren breaking the second array formation from a distance. “The Herb King Master is indeed powerful! He can even easily break the array formations around the spiritual fields on Seventh Heaven! And the cultivators of Mystic Sound Faction nearby didn’t sense any disturbance!” he thought.
Soon, Little White had arrived at the edge of one Black Herb Spiritual Field.
Hum!
A small red light flashed nearby while Hao Ren shot the third realm-breaking note to break the third array formation.
Little White couldn’t control its demonic essence anymore and returned to its puppy form. It grabbed a 10,000-year-old Black Herb and pawed the soil with all its force.
It was fortunate that Little White had a small size that was not noticeable to the cultivators of Mystic Sound Faction.
Little White pulled out one 10,000-year-old Black Herb before running to another 10,000-year-old Black Herb in the center of another Black Herb Spiritual Field.
It used the same method and dug out another herb.
Not daring to eat the 10,000-year-old Black Herbs that Hao Ren wanted, it swallowed a nearby 1,000-year Black Herb, and the intense nature essence gave it a great refreshing feeling all over its body.
10,000-year-old Black Herbs were one of the top-tier level 6 spiritual herbs in the cultivation world, and only sects on Seventh Heaven had enough resources to grow them on in large quantities. However, not all level 6 spiritual herbs could grow here. It just happened that a piece of land in Mystic Sound Faction was fitting for the growth of the Black Herbs, and the faction grew several 10,000-year-old Black Herbs.
Little White had dug out five herbs in the blink of an eye, and its small mouth was almost full. However, it wanted to dig out one for itself, so it ran deeper into the field and quickly pulled out another.
The most precious spiritual herbs in this branch of Mystic Sound Faction were almost all dug out by Little White in the blink of an eye.
While Little White was recovering its demonic essence and about to go back to its invisible form, the 10,000-year-old Black Herb that it had just dug out triggered a trap!
The root of this 10,000-year-old Black Herb was connected to a thin thread!
Boom!
A huge golden cage fell from the sky.
With six 10,000-year-old Black herbs in its mouth, Little White tried to run but bumped onto the edge of the golden cage which shot out flashing lightning bolts and shook Little White out of invisibility!
Hao Ren didn’t expect that they would fail at the last moment.
Mystic Sound Faction had set not only array formations but traps as well!
Seeing the cultivators of Mystic Sound Faction getting the alert and flying toward the Black Herb Spiritual Fields, Hao Ren stood up and flew over without hesitation!
729 Sword Array! Seven-Star Big Dipper Array!
“Herb King Master…” Before Lingwu Master could finish his sentence, he saw that Hao Ren had dashed over, breaking two array formations through the cracks in them.
He knew that they were in big trouble. All the thieves who stole the spiritual herbs from Sixth Heaven Sect were punished with death, let alone the theft on Seventh Heaven!
The Mystic Sound Faction cultivators were also surprised when they saw a cultivator flying over and breaking through two array formations.
They had thought that it was only a level 5 snow lion from Seventh Heaven breaking into the spiritual fields to steal spiritual herbs, but now they knew that someone was behind this!
Different from Sixth Heaven, Seventh Heaven had some wild spirit beasts due to the abundance of nature essence. Occasionally, these spirit beasts would sneak into the spiritual fields to steal spiritual herbs, but most of them would be blocked out by the array formations.
If a level 5 snow lion were caught stealing the spiritual herbs, it would be sent to the headquarters of the faction. It would be tamed or get its demonic core, skin, and bones made into dharma treasures.
However, if a cultivator was behind this, it became another matter.
The Mystic Sound Faction cultivators who were flying toward the cage changed their directions when they saw Hao Ren, shooting out dharma treasures at him!
While the most commonly seen cultivators on Sixth Heaven were at the Establishment Realm, the most commonly seen cultivators on Seventh Heaven were at the Core Formation Realm! The cultivators who were flying toward Hao Ren were all at the Core Formation Realm!
On Seventh Heaven, the Establishment Realm cultivators were not allowed to leave the faction or fight with enemies.
While these cultivators attacked Hao Ren, auras of Nascent Soul Realm cultivator appeared in the big caves on the hill!
Since it was a branch of Mystic Sound Faction, Nascent Soul Realm cultivators were guarding the place.
The most powerful cultivators on Sixth Heaven were at the Nascent Soul Realm, but the Soul Formation Realm cultivators were the top forces on Seventh Heaven! On Seventh Heaven, the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators were not needed in the headquarters, so they were sent out to manage the branches!
“Break!”
Hao Ren’s sword energies scattered the dharma treasures that were shot by the Core Formation Realm cultivators before condensing into lightning energy and exploding the cage into pieces!
Little White had been bumping around in the cage with futile efforts. Now, it turned into its snow lion form and dashed toward Hao Ren with six 10,000-year-old Black Herbs in its mouth.
It had known that Hao Ren would come to its rescue.
While putting the six 10,000-year-old Black Herbs into his necklace, Hao Ren stood on the back of the hill-sized Little White and looked at the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators who were rushing from the distant cave.
Since the Black Herbs had been dug out, they couldn’t be planted put back into the soil. There were only two options to bring the Black Herbs back; one was through negotiation, and other was through battle.
“Lingwu! How dare you!”
The red figure who was flying from the cave sensed Lingwu Master’s aura and let out a furious shout at a mountain.
Sitting on Jitian, Lingwu Master rose from the mountain.
His face was red not from shame but anger.
When he was peak Na
scent Soul Realm, the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators of Mystic Sound Faction all called him ‘Lingwu Master’. Now that the strength of Sky Mountain Sect was damaged, and his realm dropped to the Core Formation Realm, this Nascent Soul Realm cultivator who was only guarding the spiritual fields dropped ‘Master’ from his title and called him directly by his name.
No matter what, Lingwu Master had the highest status in Sky Mountain Sect, but this low-tier Nascent Soul Realm cultivator was so arrogant to him!
In the eyes of Mystic Sound Faction, Sky Mountain Sect was nothing!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Another three Nascent Soul Realm cultivators appeared on the hill.
Although the Bull Head Mountain was far from the headquarters of Mystic Sound Faction, it was a very important spiritual herb base and a hub for disciples’ field training. Since a group of young disciples was in training in the nearby valley, the two Nascent Soul Realm cultivators who led the team were taking a break in the Bull Head Mountain.
Hearing the commotion outside, the remaining three Nascent Soul Realm cultivators also rushed out of the cave abodes.
Knowing that they were no match for Hao Ren and the level 5 snow lion, the Core Formation Realm cultivators retreated to form a defensive array formation.
With four of their Nascent Soul Realm uncle-master showing their hands, they were sure that the level 5 snow lion and this mid-tier Nascent Soul Realm cultivator couldn’t escape from Mystic Sound Faction.
Instantly, two top-tier, one mid-tier, and one low-tier Nascent Soul Realm cultivators were out!
Sitting on Little White, Hao Ren looked at them and cupped his hands.
“I…”
Swoosh… Three radiant dharma treasures shot toward Hao Ren’s head.
These Nascent Soul Realm cultivators didn’t want to hear Hao Ren’s explanation. What they needed to do was to catch him and punish him according to the rules of Mystic Sound Faction!
They had seen that Hao Ren wasn’t a cultivator of Seventh Heaven, which meant that his capture wouldn’t cause any conflicts between all the factions. He would be punished however the elders wanted!
Since the damage of the 10,000-year-old Black Herbs couldn’t be recovered, this level 5 snow lion and Lingwu Master’s level 6 snow lion would be taken to compensate for the loss that Mystic Sound Faction suffered!
Flowing above the mountaintop in the distance, Lingwu Master didn’t know that his Jitian had been counted as a part of the compensation to Mystic Sound Faction!
“Damn it…”
Hao Ren changed his sentence when he saw the dharma treasures flying toward him. The sects above Fifth Heaven were each more aggressive than the other!
When Sky Mountain Sect went to Ethereal Summit, they had said some words. However, Mystic Sound Faction just attacked without a word!
Roar… Little White spat out a fireball and an ice ball, blocking the golden hammer shot out by the mid-tier Nascent Soul Realm cultivator.
Bang! Hao Ren released 5,120 sword energies from his body.
Seeing four Nascent Soul Realm cultivators surrounding Hao Ren, Lingwu Master glanced at Lu Linlin and Lu Lili beside him. “You…”
Now that he was on the same boat with Hao Ren, he didn’t want Hao Ren to be defeated since he knew that Sky Mountain Sect was no match for Mystic Sound Faction as well.
The only solution right now was that if Hao Ren could defeat them, he could show his identity and negotiate.
However, Lu Linlin and Lu Lili looked quite relaxed. They glanced at Lingwu Master and said confidently, “Gongzi can handle them all by himself!”
While they talked, the two top-tier Nascent Soul Realm cultivators shot out two radiant dharma treasures at Hao Ren from the right and the left.
Hao Ren moved his hands, and the 5,120 sword energies instantly changed into eight small sword array formations, each consisting of 640 sword energies.
Seven-Star Big Dipper Array Formation!
Three small sword arrays formed the Upper Three Stars, another three small sword arrays formed the Lower Three Stars, and the last two arrays intertwined with each other and stood in the center of the big sword array formation as the heart of the array formation!
It was an array formation formed by small array formations!
Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang and Yaoguang… Many variations appeared.
After entering Hao Ren’s sword array formation, the two dharma treasures were surrounded by two small sword arrays and then tossed out from the sides!
“This…” Lingwu Master looked at the Seven-Star Big Dipper Array Formation, becoming speechless in astonishment.
Sky Mountain Sect had used a lot of resources to trade for the Big Dipper Constellation Scroll from Wuji Faction of Seventh Heaven, and that scroll recorded some powerful techniques.
Since he had to teach Duan Yao the sword techniques, Lingwu Master had studied the techniques from that scroll and was very familiar with all the variations.
However, when he saw the Seven-Star Big Dipper Array Formation formed by Hao Ren’s 5,120 sword energies, he knew that Hao Ren’s sword array formation was 100 times more advanced than the Big Dipper Constellation Scroll!
The four Nascent Soul Realm cultivators who surrounding Hao Ren from four directions widened their eyes with astonishment when they saw Hao Ren releasing this colorful sword array formation.
Although Hao Ren only revealed his mid-tier Nascent Soul Realm, his power was no less than top-tier Nascent Soul Realm!
Bang! Bang! Astonished, the four Nascent Soul Realm cultivators attacked together and shot the four dharma treasures and other techniques toward Hao Ren.
Each of the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators on Seventh Heaven had great power, and they didn’t believe that the four of them were no match for one young cultivator, unless the latter was a Soul Formation Realm cultivator!
“Break!”
Hao Ren’s sword array formation was suddenly activated.
With two sword arrays in the center as the axis, the other six sword arrays spun like whips with different variations.
The four dharma treasures were all swept into the sword arrays, and they were shattered into pieces by the sword arrays.
He could block all four of them!
The Core Fruition Realm cultivators had been watching the battle on the distant hills, and the sight dumbfounded them.
Four of their uncle-masters were no match for an outside cultivator who came here to steal their herbs!
Lu Linlin and Lu Lili watched Hao Ren with a smile on their faces, knowing that his current strength could handle two top-tier Nascent Soul Realm cultivators. As to the two weaker cultivators, Little White could manage them.
After all, the Lu sisters were not cultivators of this world and could only frighten these cultivators with their auras occasionally. If they attacked, they would be breaking the rules.
Hum!
The four Nascent Soul Realm cultivators suddenly joined forces and formed a circle of purple lights. The dharma treasures that were breaking into Hao Ren’s sword array formation suddenly increased their powers!
Even the Seven-Star Big Dipper Array Formation which was formed by 5,120 sword energies almost couldn’t block their powers.
Little White who had been carrying Hao Ren suddenly vanished with a cry.
“Careful!” two top-tier Nascent Soul Realm cultivators yelled simultaneously.
The low-tier Nascent Soul Realm cultivator who was controlling a golden stamp-shaped dharma treasure suddenly felt a powerful energy attacking him from the back, sending him flying for 1,000 meters!
Little White’s stealth was unnoticeable to low-tier Nascent Soul Realm cultivators!
With one low-tier Nascent Soul Realm cultivator pushed out, the pressure on his sword array formation lessened suddenly.
Little White went invisible again, and the mid-tier Nascent Soul Realm cultivator dug out a dharma note to stick on his chest in a hurry. Then,
a layer of pale golden energy sphere appeared around him.
Hao Ren wanted to toss out a realm-breaking note to help Little White’s sneak attack but felt like it was a waste. He put more essence into the sword array and turned the 640 sword energies in the Tianshu sword array at the edge into a strengthened One-line Snake Array Formation!
The Seven-Star Big Dipper Array Formation released one star!
The sword array formation shot over like 640 energy arrows one after another, instantly breaking the energy sphere built by the mid-tier Nascent Soul Realm cultivator.
Little White took the opportunity to pounce. With a furious roar, it pushed the mid-tier Nascent Soul Realm cultivator into the spiritual field from the back!
The mid-tier Nascent Soul Realm cultivator was pale with fear. He was no match for a level 5 snow lion, and he was now pressed onto the ground and stared at!
The level 5 snow lion had all the ferocious characteristics of a demon beast!
However, Little White just licked his forehead, which scared him and caused him to faint.
Little White wagged its tail smuggling and leaped up from the spiritual field before flying toward Hao Ren.
“Outrageous!” A godly light shot from a distance and hit Little White’s belly, sending it into the spiritual field.
730 Soul Formation!!!
That godly light hit Little White and suddenly shot back toward Hao Ren, and Hao Ren just stood there in shock.
Hao Ren couldn’t see what the godly light was, but he could sense that it was a treasure. However, the cultivator who threw this treasure was not within the detection range of Hao Ren’s spirit senses.
The treasure had appeared before the cultivator!
It meant that the cultivator who had released the treasure was at least thousands of kilometers away!
Hao Ren’s sword energies formed a large round, defensive sword formation, but it shattered under the attack of the godly light.
He had helped Zhao Yanzi with the cultivation of Big Dipper Constellation Scroll, so he was very familiar with concepts of the Big Dipper Constellation. Therefore, he was smooth even though this was his first time using this powerful array.
