Chapter 617: Winds Stir and Clouds Surge~~
Hao Ren running to school together with Su Han had already reached Xie Yujia’s ears. Yet, she didn’t show any signs of anger, which deeply impressed Zhao Jiayin by Hao Ren's ability to "deal with it"...Chapter 617: Stirring Winds and Rolling Clouds~~
After coming out of the hexagonal eave palace from the New Yang Sect, each ancestor took their treasures and scattered.
Everyone was clear that the key to unlocking the talisman lay in the Mysterious Peak on the fifth layer because only this peak and that mysterious Medicine King Ancestor were directly connected with Loose Clouds.
However, when Fiery Sun Ancestor gathered everyone together, it was merely for them to observe the situation. Maybe there would be other ways of solving things.
But after exchanging information, these ancestors found that none of them could remove the spirit-sealing talisman; even a Core Formation cultivator from the seventh layer couldn’t unlock it. Or rather, this group of Core Formation cultivators didn’t dare to casually try and remove Loose Clouds’ restrictions.
Loose Clouds’ fame was such that even Core Formation cultivators in the seventh layer would change their expressions when they mentioned him.
The ancestors felt wronged. Originally sitting at their sect, they suddenly sensed unusual movements from Tian Mountain Sect’s group of Nascent Soul cultivators and followed suit to move out.
They originally thought that it was because the Tian Mountain Sect had found a Spirit Treasure emerging in the fifth layer. But when they gathered together, they discovered that the Tian Mountain Sect was besieging a small valley in the fifth layer.
For this valley which was slightly famous in the fifth layer, they didn’t want to meddle; after all, whoever saw it had a share of it. If the Tian Mountain Sect conquered Mysterious Peak and found various good things, they would take their share too!
The moment these thoughts reached an agreement in their hearts, Loose Clouds from the eighth layer suddenly struck out. All Nascent Soul cultivators near the valley were caught off guard! If only they had known that Medicine King Valley and Mysterious Peak were related to a great cultivator on the eighth floor earlier!
They would have turned against Tian Mountain Sect just for Mysterious Peak’s sake!
The ancestors flew out of New Yang Sect, circled far away, then quietly landed in the fifth layer.
In the past, when they came to the fifth layer, they were absolutely haughty. For any Core Formation cultivator in the fifth layer that they didn’t like, they would directly strike them down!
But now, they were extremely cautious, more so than those Core Formation cultivators of the fifth layer.
If their luck was bad, these ancestors who ruled the sixth layer could be seen as ordinary Core Formation cultivators and killed by Core Formation cultivators in the fifth layer!
And… there were a few Nascent Soul cultivators in the fifth layer too. In the past, as they were Nascent Soul elders from the sixth layer, how would they look down on these early-stage Nascent Souls of the fifth layer But now, if they ran into them, it was still their doom!
Whoosh…
An ancestor flew towards Mysterious Peak from the east with a black shell-shaped treasure.
"Heh heh. Isn’t Evil Wind Ancestor resting at the sect" A voice followed this ancestor from behind.
"Hahaha, come to the Fifth Layer of Heaven for some relaxation! There might be an opportunity for a breakthrough!" The Evil Wind Ancestor laughed loudly as he secretly slid out a green short blade from his hand.
All of them were beaten down to the level of Core Formation Realm, but depending on their original levels, they had different sub-levels within the Core Formation Realm.
This Evil Wind Ancestor fell from early Nascent Soul Realm to early Core Formation Realm. His current strength is even inferior to some cultivators in the Fifth Layer of Heaven.
"Is Venerable Rainbow Plum also here for relaxation" The Evil Wind Ancestor asked as he retreated.
"I came to the Fifth Layer of Heaven to try my luck, find some spiritual pills and fruits, and see if I can remove this powerful talisman!" said Venerable Rainbow Plum as she flew towards him.
As soon as he spoke, a green beam of light shot out from behind his hand towards the Evil Wind Ancestor.
If they were both in Nascent Soul Realm, even if it was late Nascent Soul vs. early Nascent Soul, there's no guarantee that one could kill the other directly, but this is different at Core Formation Realm!
"Humph!" The Evil Wind Ancestor's green short blade shot out suddenly.
This was an old magic treasure he dug up when he fell back to Core Formation Realm.
As the Evil Wind Ancestor's favorite Core Formation-level magic treasure from his past, this green short blade hadn't been used for hundreds of years. Now that it was being controlled again, it felt somewhat rusty but still had some power.
Bang!
The two Core Formation Realm cultivators' treasures clashed in mid-air, and then a white light suddenly shot towards the Evil Wind Ancestor.
"You guys..." The Evil Wind Ancestor looked at them in shock, wanting to escape but realizing that he wasn't in Nascent Soul Realm anymore and couldn't use his escape techniques.
Crack! The Evil Wind Ancestor’s physical body was directly destroyed, and a green-glowing Nascent Soul floated out from his body.
The green light and white light shot towards him simultaneously; the escaping Evil Wind Ancestor's Nascent Soul instantly dissipated into thin air.
It was Old Ancestors from Dragon-Tiger Sect and Twin Moons Sect who made the move. Being able to work together to take down one Evil Wind Ancestor cleared a significant threat for their sects.
This Evil Wind Ancestor being capable of escaping his Nascent Soul proves that the Sealing Spirit Talisman only sealed their realms, leaving their original Nascent Souls intact, which brought them some reassurance.
Old Ancestors Venerable Rainbow Plum from Dragon-Tiger Sect and Venerable Stardust from Twin Moons Sect each retrieved their magic treasures and exchanged a glance with each other.
"This place isn't safe to stay long; it seems that Fellow Star Dust shares my thoughts. We should quickly head to the Mysterious Peak for help," said Venerable Rainbow Plum seriously.
"Little brother, what you said is very sensible. We shouldn't let the other elders take the initiative," Star Dust Elder nodded his head and immediately withdrew, flying towards Mysterious Peak.
He sensed that Plum Red Elder didn’t quickly follow him and turned to look back, only to discover a beam of green light directly piercing into his back!
"You...!" The Star Dust Elder widened his eyes; he hurriedly launched his white treasure. However, he was ultimately still a bit too slow: the reaction time of the Nascent Soul stage wasn’t comparable to that of the Core Formation stage. His treasure only flew out halfway when this green sword pierced into his chest.
The dark red Nascent Soul struggled to escape through the top of his head, but how would Plum Red Elder give him such an opportunity He casually shot out a beam of light and eradicated this Nascent Soul.
After collecting the storage bags of these two elders, Plum Red Elder cautiously observed his surroundings to confirm that no other cultivators were lying in ambush. Then he stepped on a beam of green light, flying towards Mysterious Peak.
To secretly ask for medicine from Mysterious Peak was necessary; otherwise, bringing over ten Nascent Soul stage cultivators for protection would be unacceptable and might attract the attention of other sects at the sixth layer.
What’s more worrying is that if that Core Formation powerhouse on the eighth level assumed they were making a big fuss to threaten Mysterious Peak and cast another talisman, it would be all over.
Holding several top-notch Nascent Soul stage treasures with an anxious heart, Plum Red Elder arrived at Mysterious Peak.
The valley was quiet.
Three small sects around the valley had their lights on.
In the past, these minor sects could be easily wiped out with a single finger, but now Plum Red Elder didn’t dare to take them lightly. These three minor sects combined might have four or five Nascent Soul stage cultivators—dying here would truly be falling into a ditch while looking for a horse.
"Junior greets Medicine King Elder!"
Plum Red Elder softly landed at the entrance of the valley and respectfully called out.
This was Medicine King Elder’s territory. Even Heavenly Mountain Sect had lost hundreds of Nascent Soul stage cultivators here, making it relatively safe.
No one would dare to be rowdy after this incident.
However, the thing Plum Red Elder truly worried about was that these three minor sects might take advantage of Medicine King Elder’s protection and bully others. Who knew They might even succeed in killing him.
The valley surrounded by a dark red barrier remained silent. Plum Red Elder thought for a moment, took out a transmission talisman, announced his name and sect, and sent it into the valley.
However, after waiting for a long time, there was still no response from within.
Doubting that Medicine King Elder wasn’t in the valley or didn’t want to see him, Plum Red Elder also considered that it was already nighttime and feared offending Medicine King Elder. He thus left with reluctance, fearing that other elders of the sixth layer might be lying in ambush or intercepting him nearby. He quickly ascended into the high sky.
Just as he was about to fly away, he suddenly saw a woman standing on top of the mountain peak on his right side.
Draped skirts, colored umbrellas... so alluring and beautiful in the night.
"Oh dear" It seems our encounter has ended. I was hoping to snatch that little girl, but it looks like fate didn't want it to be."
The woman on the mountain peak mutters to herself while rubbing her wrist, "Those five brats were really troublesome."
She noticed that郝仁 and his group had already left the valley and was about to leave disappointedly when she suddenly heard a cackling laugh.
"I thought I would be returning empty-handed, but unexpectedly, I still managed to find such an exquisite beauty!" Old Master Hongmei arrived on a beam of blue light.
Standing atop the mountain peak was甄妃 who had just defeated five spirit transformation cultivators and returned here.
She felt that there were some movements among the eighth layer sky spirit transformation cultivators after she left Mystic Peak, so upon her return, she particularly concealed her aura to avoid unnecessary complications.
Right as Old Master Hongmei was about to leave, he suddenly saw an exceptionally beautiful woman standing on a mountain peak and only at the foundation establishment realm!
This Old Master Hongmei was originally a great cultivator in his late core formation stage before descending in level. He had considerable strength and another characteristic: extreme lechery.
Seeing that no other cultivators were lying in wait, he was about to return to the sixth layer sky when he suddenly saw such a beautiful甄妃 and couldn't help but feel greedy, preparing to snatch her as compensation.
Right as he was only十幾米 (about 13 meters) away from甄妃 and reaching out with his hand,甄妃 frowned slightly and lightly flicked her finger.
Pu.
The late core formation stage Old Master Hongmei immediately turned to ashes.
甄妃 casually turned around, rising a wisp of black light that vanished into the fifth layer sky.
She had thought that郝仁 would have quite a tough battle and was planning to let him get some practice. She intended to solve the problem with the five spirit transformation cultivators first before returning to see how things were going, but she hadn't expected an eighth-layer-sky spirit transformation cultivator to take action, thereby resolving everything.
If the Heavenly Mountain Sect collapsed, there would certainly be chaos in the sixth layer sky. Especially if Elder Spirit Martial Arts passed away, the Heavenly Mountain Sect would be leaderless and disputes would arise, inevitably impacting the seventh layer sky's structure. And for the fifth layer sky, it would definitely become the main battlefield among all cultivation sects.
The chaos above the fifth layer sky would certainly affect the dragon race in the first layer sky. Another great war was about to happen...
However, with that spirit transformation cultivator's intervention, the situation temporarily stabilized.
Ruh ruh ruh... The Demon King has appeared; heaven and earth are chaotic.
This youngster, however, steadied the heavens and earth.ao Kuo by the entrance of the Guangling Hall. She gave Hao Ren a sidelong glance and mumbled, "He’s not even helping."She then ran swiftly towards Zhao Kuo.Hao Ren was taken aback; he had carried thre...
