Chapter 737 Spirit Transformation Above
books didn’t matter much; Hao Ren entered the classroom empty-handed. He saw Zhao Jiayin and the other three already sitting in the back row’s prime seats, while Xie Yujia was firmly seated at the fro...Volume 2 Chapter 737 Beyond the Condensation Realm
"What instructions does my master have for me"
The few cultivators at the Condensation stage, seeing Hao Ren's displeased expression, quickly asked.
Although they felt uneasy in their hearts, if Hao Ren simply left with a flick of his sleeve, they would feel even more uneasy.
Achieving the Condensation realm is equivalent to becoming an Earth Immortal. In this cultivation world, one has already become an invincible figure, but Zhenyuanzi's seniority made them have to be cautious in their dealings—this great immortal, although never appearing, was theoretically still in charge of all Earth Immortals.
"There are some things that need your help," Hao Ren said coolly, then glanced at Lingwu Patriarch.
Lingwu Patriarch understood and immediately sat on the back of the six-stage Snow Lion Ji Tian.
Ji Tian's belly had been pierced through, but as a six-stage spiritual beast, this injury was not fatal to him.
The five cultivators at the Condensation stage exchanged glances with each other. However, Hao Ren asking for their help was generally a good thing overall; if they could offset their crimes, it would be better than Hao Ren leading them to Great Immortal Zhenyuan and having them punished.
Therefore, Lingwu Patriarch sat on Ji Tian's back and flew towards the passage between the Sixth Heaven and Seventh Heaven.
Hao Ren saw that Xiao Bai's injuries were not serious. He patted its butt to make it transform into a Snow Lion form, then pulled the chilly Lu L琳琳 and Lu 莉莉 onto its back, following Lingwu Patriarch closely.
The five cultivators at the Condensation stage didn't dare to overtake Hao Ren and obediently followed behind him. They were like sheep being led by Hao Ren, not daring to show any negative emotions whatsoever.
The passage from the Seventh Heaven to the Sixth Heaven was a thousand miles away from here. Lingwu Patriarch had been to the Seventh Heaven before, so he naturally recognized it.
With Ji Tian and Xiao Bai's speed, they arrived at this passage in just a short moment.
The seven sects guarding this passage were all cultivators at the Core Formation stage. Seeing that Hao Ren and Lingwu Patriarch did not have tokens around their waists and didn't seem to be from the Seventh Heaven, they immediately rushed out of the small houses surrounding the passage towards Hao Ren and Lingwu Patriarch.
The few passages between the Sixth Heaven and the Seventh Heaven were all guarded by cultivators at the Core Formation stage from seven sects. Regular rotation was made among these Core Formation cultivators for guard duty.
Therefore, even a Core Formation cultivator in the Sixth Heaven would find it impossible to secretly cross this passage.
"Quickly show your passage token!"
The seven Core Formation stage cultivators rushed out of their respective practice houses. Seeing the other six Core Formation stage cultivators rushing over, they knew that these four cultivators sitting on Snow Lions did not belong to any sect.
As the accusing words were shouted out, seven magical treasures suddenly pummeled towards Hao Ren and Lingwu Ancestor.
If Hao Ren and Lingwu Ancestor couldn't quickly pull out their talismans, they would be instantly killed.
Suddenly, they saw that behind the two snow lions were five cultivators.
They were about to split up and use their magical treasures to attack these five cultivators when they suddenly felt something amiss. The hands of those cultivators all flickered with Heavenly Treasure!
One of the cultivators suddenly dropped from high in the air towards the ground, kneeling and shouting, "Master!"
The other few Core Formation-stage cultivators took a closer look and discovered that around the waists of these few cultivators were golden Supreme Talismans!
Thump, thump, thump...
Like falling stones, the remaining few Core Formation-stage cultivators all quickly knelt down. Their respective magical treasures were also hurriedly recalled or scattered to the surroundings.
This talisman was a unique talisman for Spirit Formation-stage cultivators of the Seventh Layer Sky Realm. Since cultivators from the Seventh Layer would not actively destroy barriers, even if Spirit Formation-stage cultivators wanted to go below the Seventh Layer, they still had to pass through the channel.
Who could offend these Spirit Formation-stage cultivators Regardless of whether they were their own sect's Ancestor or not, these seven Core Formation-stage cultivators all prostrated themselves respectfully and called out "Master."
Among those few Core Formation-stage cultivators, only one had seen his sect's Spirit Formation Ancestor before; the others had never encountered these Spirit Formation-level "earth immortals." But there was no way that this talisman could be fake!
Their bodies trembled while they complained in their hearts... Why did all five of their Ancestors come out at once They didn't even need to suppress their aura, nearly starting a fight against their own elders...
Actually, these five Spirit Formation cultivators obediently followed Hao Ren and deliberately suppressed their auras, trembling with fear and being as low-key as possible, fearing that they would displease Hao Ren.
Lingwu Ancestor flew ahead and saw the seven Core Formation-stage cultivators kneeling on the ground without daring to lift their heads. His heart was instantly filled with satisfaction.
He also berated himself for already having cultivated nearly a thousand years, reaching the peak of the Core Formation stage; he shouldn't have such an overjoyed mindset, but he still couldn't help feeling elated.
"Hmph!" The Spirit Formation cultivator from the Xuan Yin Sect lightly huffed.
The seven Core Formation-stage cultivators felt as if their brains had been hammered and were in great pain.
They turned around to watch the five Spirit Formation cultivators escorting the two snow lions' cultivators through the channel, looking at each other with shock. They all felt like they'd escaped the gates of hell.
Spirit Formation-stage cultivators possessed Supreme Talismans, but during their many years taking turns guarding the Seventh Layer Sky Realm's channels, they had never heard of Spirit Formation cultivators leaving the Seventh Layer. This time, five of them were mobilized simultaneously—could it be that something important was about to happen
These seven Nascent Soul cultivators did not dare to be negligent and hurriedly returned to their small houses, sending top-grade telepathic talismans back to their sects.
When entering the Sixth Layer of Heaven from the Seventh Layer, both the brightness and the concentration of spiritual energy suddenly decreased.
Hao Ren saw that Venerable Lingwu was indecisive, so he proactively said, "Senior Lingwu, I will take you to the Sky Mountain Sect first."
During this raid on the Seventh Layer of Heaven for medicine, even though Venerable Lingwu did not charge forward to fight those cultivators from the Seventh Layer, he generally stood by Hao Ren's side.
Might it be because Duan Yao "married into Piaomiao Peak," there seemed to be a connection between Piaomiao Peak and the Sky Mountain Sect. The Sky Mountain Sect was also more inclined towards Piaomiao Peak, especially in such extremely dangerous matters where they even offered help, which made Hao Ren's impression of the Sky Mountain Sect not as bad as before.
Upon hearing this from Hao Ren, Venerable Lingwu felt honored and immediately wanted to wave his hand in refusal.
But he was an old veteran of the cultivation world. After slightly pondering again, he realized that Hao Ren was clearly establishing a relationship with the Sky Mountain Sect, ensuring that these Spirit Transformation cultivators would not vent their anger on the Sky Mountain Sect.
In an instant, his heart became as clear as a mirror. What Hao Ren did was also to give face to Duan Yao's "birthplace." It seemed that this old master quite liked Duan Yao in Piaomiao Peak.
Since ancient times, it had been "the mother becomes honored because of her son," but for the Sky Mountain Sect this time, it was "the sect becomes honored because of its daughter." In fact, since the Sky Mountain Sect sent Duan Yao to Piaomiao Peak, other Sixth Layer of Heaven sects all wanted to send their most beautiful and talented women to Piaomiao Peak, yet they had not found any opportunity.
Venerable Lingwu turned over several thoughts in his heart. With Jitiang and Xiaobai's speed, they instantly arrived within the range of the Sky Mountain Sect.
The Nascent Soul Elders who were anxious inside the sect saw Jitiang return, all hurriedly flew out to welcome him.
Those five Spirit Transformation cultivators hovered at the mountain gate of the Sky Mountain Sect and did not follow Hao Ren in— if this caused a commotion, it might upset "Master" Hao Ren again.
Suddenly, another beam of light rose from the distant chamber of the sect leader. Duan Yao's mother could be seen stepping on a flying sword, hastily flying towards Hao Ren and Venerable Lingwu.
Seeing Hao Ren, she hesitated for a moment, then took out a padded jacket from her bosom and cautiously said, "Master, give this... to Yao'er."
Venerable Lingwu gave her a slight glare. Duan Yao's mother stepped on the flying sword and quietly withdrew several steps.
Hao Ren had already taken over the padded jacket. He looked at the soft garment in his hand, noticing that every stitch was extremely meticulous and exquisite, almost better than what modern machines could produce— it should have been sewn by Duan Yao's mother personally.
She still thought that Duan Yao was right inside Piaomiao Peak. However, she also knew Duan Yao’s personality— once she said something would be done, she would definitely stick to her word and would not return to the Sky Mountain Sect after saying she cut ties with it.
As a cultivator wasting time to make a piece of clothing... this sentiment...
Hao Ren looked at Duan Yao's mother, feeling somewhat moved in his heart.
But he didn't say much more, put away the clothes, and handed them to Lu Lili beside him. In the future, when he encounters Duan Yao again, he would give her the clothes. Whether she accepts them or not was up to her.
"Grandmaster... Grandmaster..." The Condensation Stage cultivator in charge of the mountain gate almost rolled as he flew towards Elder Spirit Martial Ancestor, "There are five Great Masters at the Soul Formation stage outside!"
When this Condensation Stage cultivator spoke, the several Nascent Soul Elders from Heaven Mountain Sect's face changed dramatically.
A Soul Formation-stage cultivator suddenly appearing at the entrance of their sect...
However, Elder Spirit Martial Ancestor was extremely calm and showed no signs of panic.
The few Nascent Soul Elders secretly admired him; he was worthy to be the sect's patriarch. This courage truly set him apart.
"Grandmaster... Grandmaster..." Another Condensation Stage cultivator flew over from the direction of the mountain gate, his flying sword wobbling as if his heart was shaken.
"This is what those five Soul Formation-stage Great Masters want me to give you. They said it's compensation for a Sixth Rank Spiritual Beast..." The Condensation Stage cultivator reached Elder Spirit Martial Ancestor and spread out his palms.
Lo and behold, in the palm of his hand was a golden brocade handkerchief with five medicinal pills neatly arranged on top. Each pill was round and lustrous, each one had bright colors.
The Heaven Mountain Sect's Nascent Soul Elders exchanged glances; they simply couldn't think of any reason for Soul Formation-stage cultivators to send gifts to their sect.
Elder Spirit Martial Ancestor took the brocade handkerchief and put it in his sleeve.
He knew that this was a result of the five Soul Formation-stage cultivators discussing outside Heaven Mountain Sect's gate, intending to mend their relationship with Hao Ren.
If Hao Ren were an ordinary cultivator, he would never dare accept these medicinal pills. But as a sworn brother of Grand Daoist Master Origin, these Soul Formation-stage cultivators absolutely wouldn't go back on their word!
The Heaven Mountain Sect's Nascent Soul Elders drew in cold breath when they saw Elder Spirit Martial Ancestor take the spiritual medicine.
"Alright then," Hao Ren patted Xiaobai’s head and turned towards the mountain gate of Heaven Mountain Sect.
Actually, whether or not those Soul Formation-stage cultivators gave Heaven Mountain Sect benefits was something he didn't really care about. But since Duan Yao had helped him a few times in Demon Beast Sea, as long as Heaven Mountain Sect wasn’t wiped out, it would be fine.
"See you off respectfully, Grandmaster!" Elder Spirit Martial Ancestor, sitting on the back of Invincible, suddenly raised his hands and said respectfully.
Hao Ren waved his hand at Elder Spirit Martial Ancestor who was behind him, then sat on Xiaobai's back and flew out of Heaven Mountain Sect’s mountain gate. He didn't want to have too many entanglements with Heaven Mountain Sect, but it seemed that now, Heaven Mountain Sect would be closely revolving around Mysterious Peak.duster drew a subtle arc and glimmered faintly.Hao Ren slightly turned his body; with a light flick of his finger, the feathers on the feather duster stood straight up, as sharp as blades.When Hao Ren...
