The Luoying Peak wasn't the highest peak on Sky Mountain. Instead, it was located on the west side of the highest peak. It got its name because the top of the peak looked like an eagle.
Looking from the Luoying Peak to the highest peak on the east side, one could vaguely see the magnificent and magnificent pavilions in the sea of clouds.
This feeling was no weaker than the aura of the East Ocean Dragon Palace.
"These are the foundations left by the cultivation sects when they ascended hundreds of years ago. However, they are just empty shells, and all the dharma treasures and cultivation techniques have been taken away," Su Han said casually as she looked at the place.
Hao Ren nodded. Looking at the grand palaces and pagodas, he could roughly imagine the prosperity of the cultivation sects at that time.
The human cultivators originally had the best time, place, and people. However, due to an unnecessary war in the cultivation world, they lost a lot of their strength and gave the control of the entire land to the Dragon Tribe. At that time, except for the Four Ocean Dragon Clans, the other clans of the Dragon Tribe were mostly independent cultivators. They were scattered all over the land and didn't form large groups.
However, Su Han didn't seem to want to talk about these things. Among the human cultivators, the strong preyed on the weak, and people killed each other for treasures. Therefore, it was expected that a conflict broke out on a large scale and led to the overall decline.
The Inspector System was established to prevent similar situations from happening again. That was why the Dragon Tribe had lived in peace for hundreds of years. They respected each other's territories and resources and gradually integrated into the lives of mortals.
Dang!
When Su Han and Hao Ren landed on the Luoying Peak, two long spears crossed each other and blocked their way.
"The back mountain is a forbidden area. Unauthorized personnel are not allowed to approach," two Dui-level guards in green robes said to them.
"I'm here to pick snow lotuses. I've told your First Elder," Su Han said.
"We still need to confirm it …" one of the guards said.
Pa!
Su Han struck out with her palm, and the guard instantly fainted. The other guard was about to yell, but she struck him again, and he passed out as well.
"I can't be bothered to explain it to them. Go in and do your work. Only cultivators below Zhen-level or the Core Formation Realm can enter the depths of the cave. I'll wait for you outside, "Su Han sat down cross-legged on a clean rock and said lightly.
Hao Ren looked at the two fainted guards at the entrance of the cave and gradually understood Su Han's way of doing things.
He stepped over the bodies of the two guards and entered the karst cave with the words "Forbidden Area" written on it.
A surge of powerful nature essence rushed toward Hao Ren's face, and he almost lost his balance. However, it probably sensed that Hao Ren's cultivation strength was low, so the intense nature essence didn't do much to Hao Ren's body.
This should also be a complicated array formation. It was probably set up by the Sky Mountain Sect in the past to prevent others from stealing the snow lotuses. If it was an expert, it would be impossible for them to enter this karst cave. If it was a weakling, it would be impossible for them to bypass the various defenses and sneak into the vicinity of the cave entrance.
At first glance, there was nothing special about the cave. It looked like an ordinary karst cave, and the water in the underground river was dripping. In the darkness, there was light coming from an unknown place, making the karst cave not pitch-black.
Hao Ren stepped on the rocks and walked in step by step. It was his first time in such a so-called immortal cave abode, so he was more cautious than curious.
The karst cave was very deep, and the deeper he went, the more difficult it was for him to find his way. Right now, Hao Ren could only use the Water Repellent Bead, the necklace in his necklace, and the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll.
Hao Ren shot out a faint sword energy to illuminate the path ahead. Then, he hopped a few steps and walked along the protruding rocks into the deeper part of the cave.
Zhao Yanzi had wanted to come with him, but Hao Ren realized that it would be a miracle if she could even move her feet and follow him deeper into the cave in the darkness.
In the monotonous black-and-white karst cave, small colorful flowers gradually appeared. Hao Ren took a closer look and found that they were immature seven-colored snow lotuses the size of fingernails.
This kind of Snow Lotus was a top-notch medicinal ingredient for mortals, but it was practically useless for cultivators who practiced alchemy.
Hao Ren didn't want to destroy these precious snow lotuses, and he wasn't a greedy person. Therefore, he took a closer look before walking in.
The deeper he went, the bigger the snow lotuses were. However, from their budding appearance, they were still immature snow lotuses.
Hao Ren had seen the two snow lotuses that Su Han gave him, and he had a general idea of what a 1,000-year-old snow lotus should look like. Therefore, he didn't pick up these immature snow lotuses and continued walking.
However, if Zhao Yanzi were following him, she would probably pick up a few and hide them first. Zhao Yanzi was a little greedy when she saw the treasures; it was a common mentality of little girls.
Hao Ren didn't know that he was the only one who could hold back his greed and avoid disasters one after another.
All the snow lotuses here were guarded by the spirit beasts in the karst cave. If Hao Ren picked up any immature snow lotus, he would alert them immediately!
These spirit beasts were raised by the Sky Mountain Sect in the past. Hundreds of years ago, the Sky Mountain Sect moved, but they couldn't take this cave with them. Therefore, they only picked some mature snow lotuses and some seeds, leaving the immature snow lotuses here, and the spirit beasts didn't care about them.
In the past hundreds of years, the spirit beasts multiplied on their own, fed on the snow lotuses, and got stronger and stronger! Although they couldn't get out of the cave under the control of the array formation, they gradually turned into 'wild beasts' since no one was controlling them!
Hao Ren's cultivation strength was low, so he didn't attract their attention. However, if he picked up any snow lotus, he would alert these sensitive spirit beasts immediately!
The deeper he went into the cave, the more mature snow lotuses there were! Hao Ren didn't think about the reason; he only thought that the deeper he went into the cave, the stronger the nature essence was, and the better the snow lotuses grew. He didn't know that the earth-elemental dragons had to endure the attacks of the spirit beasts to pick the snow lotuses!
That was why even the earth-elemental dragons couldn't withstand the ferocious spirit beasts if they went deeper into the cave!
Su Han was cultivating outside the cave and had no idea that Hao Ren was in danger! In her opinion, this was the Snow Lotus growing area left behind by the previous Cultivation Sect. No matter how dangerous it was, it couldn't be too dangerous!
Hao Ren's footsteps finally attracted the attention of some of the sleeping spirit beasts, and their eyes gradually opened in the darkness.
However, Hao Ren didn't notice that it was already very exhausting for him to find the way with sword energies, and he didn't notice that a group of spirit beasts was following him!
"1,000-year snow lotuses!" After walking for a long time, Hao Ren looked up and released several sword energies. He saw three 1,000-year snow lotuses hanging upside down on the top of the karst cave!
This was the end of the karst cave, and it was a dead end! It looked like a large round house, and Hao Ren couldn't help but marvel at the amazing craftsmanship of nature!
In his excitement, Hao Ren didn't have time to think. He raised his arm and aimed.
Swoosh!
He shot out a sword energy from his right index finger.
The sword energy hit the side of the middle snow lotus and knocked off a few stones on the top of the karst cave, but it didn't knock the snow lotuses down.
Hao Ren calmed himself down and aimed again. Although Zhao Yanzi's Third Uncle was waiting for these three snow lotuses to save his life, he couldn't let it go to waste!
If he missed and destroyed the 1,000-year snow lotuses, he would regret it! If he hit too hard and caused the fragile karst cave to collapse, it would be even worse!
After adjusting the angle, Hao Ren released a less powerful sword energy. This time, it hit the root of the middle snow lotus, and it fell lightly from the top of the karst cave!
Hao Ren hurried forward and reached out to catch the snow lotuses.
The newly plucked snow lotuses had more Nature Essence than the two he got earlier. Not daring to waste it, Hao Ren put it into the hidden space in his necklace immediately.
He raised his head and hit the second snow lotus. He didn't dare to relax either.
There were only three snow lotuses in the entire karst cave, and there were only six 1,000-year snow lotuses in the hands of the Northwest Earth-Elemental Dragon and the two he already got. It was enough to show how precious these snow lotuses were!
It took 500 years for the 1,000-year snow lotuses to mature and 1,000 years to reach the peak of medicinal efficacy! After 1,000 years, they would fall off and rot!
Hao Ren supported his right hand with his left hand as if he was using a crossbow. Then, he released another sword energy from his finger.
When the sword energy rose to the top of the karst cave, Hao Ren suddenly saw many white creatures lurking on the top of the karst cave!
When the sword energy flew to the top of the karst cave and hit the second snow lotus, Hao Ren took the opportunity to see clearly. White lions with white fur and bodies were crawling on the top of the karst cave!
Snow lions!
Together with the snow lotuses that fell from the top of the karst cave, countless snow lions jumped down!
Hao Ren rushed up and caught the snow lotuses before stuffing them into his necklace. Then, he released ten five-elemental sword energies from his ten fingers!
Li-level five-elemental sword energies!
When the sword energies hit the snow lions, they only flipped a little in the air. When they landed on the ground, they pounced at Hao Ren without hesitation!
"Fight!" Hao Ren's courage was ignited. Thinking of Zhao Kuo's Heavenly Tribulation, his Nature Essence surged. He released ten more sword energies from his ten fingers!
In the battle with Qin Shaoyang, he had used Su Han's Nature Essence, so his own Nature Essence wasn't consumed. Facing the dozens of snow lions who were staring at him with their big eyes, Hao Ren wasn't afraid but the will to fight!
Dozens of snow lions bared their white fangs and bit at him. Hao Ren flipped his palm, took half a step back, and released ten more sword energies!
All the sword energies hit the heads of the snow lions in front of him, making them howl in pain! It seemed that although the sword energies weren't strong, they could still cause some damage!
But it was also because of this that the Sword Qi aroused their ferocious nature, causing their jet-black eyes to instantly become bloodshot!
In the dim environment, their red eyes were like lanterns! When Hao Ren released his sword energies, he saw that they were baring their teeth!
When he turned around, he saw that the road they came from was blocked by more than a dozen bigger snow lions!
At the end of the karst cave was the snow lions' nursery!
