It was nighttime by the beach.
Hao Ren stood in the middle of a neat circle on the beach.
Whoosh … A greyish-white sword aura shot straight into the clouds, leaving a trail of light in its wake.
Heavenly lightning bolts were tempering the body.
The Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll was a sword cultivator as well as a lightning cultivator.
On Fifth Heaven, under the siege of the White Sand Sect, Hao Ren had accidentally broken through the second level of the sword array formation and used the Two Dragons Array Formation to unlock several openings in his dragon core.
After returning to the ground, Hao Ren hurried to Zhao Hongyu's studio to learn and help, so he didn't have time to rest. Right now, he could only use the pure heavenly lightning to strengthen his meridians.
A thin lightning bolt followed the trail of Hao Ren's sword energy and headed toward the beach.
Bang! It hit Hao Ren's head, sending sand and pebbles flying.
The lightning energy was the purest of the five-elemental essences, and it flowed into Hao Ren's meridians in trickles. The lightning energy was a punishment for cultivators, but it was a great tonic for Hao Ren!
Not only would it not damage his meridians, but it could also nourish his meridians with the right amount of force!
His meridians, which had been expanded by the dragon core and the sword array formation, hungrily absorbed the pure heavenly lightning energy to fill up the gaps in his body.
If he didn't cultivate the five-elemental essences at the same time, this thin heavenly lightning could make a Core Formation Realm or Zhen-level cultivator faint!
Ding ding dang dang … ding ding dang dang …
Hao Ren's cell phone suddenly rang outside the circle.
Seeing that the second heavenly lightning was about to strike, Hao Ren had no choice but to withdraw the hundun sword energy and roll out of the dangerous circle.
Bare-chested, Hao Ren took out his cell phone from his pocket. "Hello."
"Ren, you have classes tomorrow. Why did you go out alone at night?" Yue Yang's voice came from the phone.
"I'm just taking a walk. I'll be right back …" Hao Ren exhaled lightly.
Behind him, the Heavenly Lightning that deviated struck the surface of the sea in the distance, stirring up a three-meter-high wave.
"The weather forecast said there would be a storm today. Come back quickly," Yue Yang urged him on the phone.
"Ok, ok, ok." Hao Ren had to agree.
He had come out to cultivate alone and didn't want to drag Xie Yujia along. However, it seemed like it would make his mom suspicious.
Hao Ren put on his clothes and exerted strength on his feet. His whole body seemed to be performing Qinggong. He left a series of shallow footprints on the sand and flew towards the villa by the sea.
In order to prevent his parents from discovering his situation, he deliberately chose a secluded place far away from the villa to cultivate. He told them that he was going to take a walk nearby, but in fact, he was already one or two kilometers away!
With nature essence running through his heels, Hao Ren used the sword control scroll that he learned on Fifth Heaven. It only took him one minute to cover the two-kilometer distance.
"You're still hanging out at night." Seeing Hao Ren pushing the door open, Yue Yang was a little annoyed.
Hao Ren was frustrated that he had to come back in the middle of his practice. "I just went out for a walk …"
"The weather station said that there will be a storm tonight. Aren't you afraid of catching a cold? Besides, Yujia just came to our home. You should spend more time with her, "Yue Yang leaned over and whispered.
"Oh, oh …" Hao Ren could only agree.
In fact, with his current physique, he wouldn't catch a cold even if he stood in the rain for a day and a night. Besides, as long as he put up an energy sphere, not a single drop of rain would fall on him.
"The weather in East Ocean City has been a bit abnormal recently. The weather station has set up 86 observation points to observe the air pressure and cloud changes along the coast," Yue Yang said casually.
She didn't want Hao Ren to go out at night in such abnormal weather. The country's macroscopic climate observation was a major project, and these data were also very important for the early warning of natural disasters.
"Um …" Hao Ren guessed that the recent climate change was probably due to the increasing number of cultivators from Fifth Heaven who came to First Heaven to explore, and the fluctuation of nature essence would definitely cause changes in the clouds in the high sky.
Since a small sect like the White Sand Sect could patrol First Heaven, it was hard to imagine how many cultivators the bigger sects would send.
When the Nine Dragon Palace appeared, hundreds of human cultivators went to the sky above East Ocean City, and more than half of them died. Although the incident was over, the sects that suffered losses were definitely not willing to let it go.
The fact that the human cultivators on and above Fifth Heaven frequently went to First Heaven to explore was a sign. At this thought, Hao Ren felt that he should report this to Su Han.
Obviously, those human cultivators didn't follow the rules, and they had always regarded mortals as ants. If a cultivator suddenly appeared in the low sky on a sword, it would be a big problem.
Mortals were not the same as before, and it was hard to tell who was stronger between cannons and flying swords.
"Hey! Hey! What's wrong?" Yue Yang waved her hand in front of Hao Ren and asked.
Hao Ren finally came back to his senses and asked, "Where's Yujia?"
"Seeing that you went out, she went to rest in her room," Yue Yang said and glanced at Hao Ren. "She works harder than you, and she must be reading in her room. What about you? You are wandering around all day; I don't know what you are doing."
Hao Ren thought, "I'm busy saving Earth and don't have the time to read." However, his mom had a point. Since Yujia was living here, he shouldn't neglect her.
"Mom, if you have nothing else to do, go upstairs and rest. I'll go check on Yujia," Hao Ren said.
"I have to keep your grandma company …" Yue Yang smiled and walked up the stairs. In the past, she was busy with work and rarely spent time with her family, which was why Grandma complained about her. Now that she was transferred, she had to spend more time at home to comfort Grandma.
Knock … Knock … Hao Ren walked to the room on the first floor and knocked on the door.
"Who is it?" An alert voice came from the room.
Hao Ren froze for a second and then realized that it was Zhen Congming's room. Xie Yujia's room was next door.
Clatter … The sound of jewels colliding came from the room.
Zhen Congming hurried to put all the jewels into his necklace. This guy was as rich as a country, but he was so stingy that he didn't give anything to others. He thought that Hao Ren was coming in when Hao Ren knocked on the door, so he hurried to put away his things.
Hao Ren turned to the other side and knocked on the door. "Yujia …"
"Yeah, I'm here! Come in! "Xie Yujia's crisp voice came from inside.
Hearing Xie Yujia's response, Hao Ren opened the door quietly.
In her white fluffy pajamas, Xie Yujia was sitting cross-legged at the end of the bed.
Her black hair was loose and slightly damp; it was obvious that she had just taken a shower.
Although she was prepared, Xie Yujia still blushed when she saw Hao Ren walk in.
"What are you doing?" Hao Ren asked her.
"Cultivating." Xie Yujia smiled awkwardly. "But I don't seem to be making any progress."
She had been cultivating hard, but her talent was limited. She was still hovering around level 3 and level 4 of the Qi Refinement Realm. On the other hand, her 'disciple', Zhao Yanzi, had surpassed her and was about to reach peak level 10 of the Qi Refinement Realm.
"Take it slow. It can't be rushed," Hao Ren said.
It took him a lot of effort to reach the third level of the Spirit Concentration Scroll.
"Are you helping out with Auntie Zhao today?" Xie Yujia uncrossed her legs and rubbed her shoulders.
Xie Yujia played basketball a lot, and her flexibility was excellent. Her simple movements were beautiful.
"Yeah. They wanted me to stay for dinner, but I thought I would come back anyway, so I came back for dinner," Hao Ren said.
"Their family treats you very well," Xie Yujia said with a smile as she lowered her head.
"Yeah …" Hao Ren was relieved and didn't know what to say.
Hua, hua, hua …
Outside, it suddenly started to rain.
The rhythm of the rain and the waves on the sea made the small room on the first floor feel warm.
"Zhao Yanzi seems to be talented in cultivation," Xie Yujia continued.
She could feel that Zhao Yanzi was leveling up faster than her. They cultivated the same cultivation technique, but the aura they emitted was different.
"Don't worry. You will grow slowly. Zhao Yanzi has a foundation, and you have to figure it out slowly, "Hao Ren said.
The old Grandma's sudden departure made Xie Yujia feel lonely again. Hao Ren could understand why Yue Yang wanted him to spend more time with Xie Yujia. Compared to Zhao Yanzi, who was loved by her parents, Xie Yujia, who lived in their home, was a bit marginalized.
"Ok. I plan to cultivate all night and see if I can make any progress," Xie Yujia nodded with determination and said.
She didn't want to compare herself with Zhao Yanzi; she just wanted to catch up with Hao Ren as soon as possible. With the foundation of cultivation, she could feel the pressure that Hao Ren emitted unconsciously.
Ordinary people thought it was a temperament, but cultivators knew it was the realm of cultivators!
Seeing her gritting her teeth and making up her mind, Hao Ren smiled and walked out of the room to the living room.
Outside the French windows, it was raining cats and dogs.
Under the cover of the night, many human cultivators had snuck into the airspace of the East Ocean City.
The elder of the East Ocean Dragon Tribe who was in charge of the rain probably wouldn't notice them.
Originally, the best time to cultivate was on a rainy day, but with his parents at home, it wasn't a good idea to sneak out. Hao Ren thought about it and decided to go back to the room to cultivate. However, Fifth Heaven seemed to be a good place to cultivate …
Cultivating for one hour was equivalent to cultivating for three hours in East Ocean City … "What if … I tempered my body with lightning on Fifth Heaven? What would it be like?"
"What if … I found a secluded valley on Fifth Heaven and built a cave abode …"
Cultivating all five elements at the same time wouldn't expose my identity as a dragon core. Xie Yujia was a true Qi Refinement Realm cultivator, Zhao Yanzi had turned to cultivation after losing her dragon core, and Lu Linlin and Lu Lili weren't dragon cultivators at all …
In other words, at least the five of them wouldn't arouse suspicion on Fifth Heaven …
