Cultivating the mystic crystal!
Hao Ren was a bit shocked when he heard this word.
It turned out that Zhao Kuo still hadn't cultivated the Seven-Core Five-Color Lotus that he gave to him!
Zhao Guang's face turned grim as well. "Ok. We can't be careless. I'll increase the number of soldiers and guard Purple Bamboo Island tightly. You can cultivate it without worry!"
"Thank you, Big Brother!" Zhao Kuo cupped his hands and strode toward the palace through the observation deck.
"Fuma, your clothes!" At this moment, Premier Xia returned to the observation deck with a blue robe in his hand.
Hao Ren put on the robe and turned to Zhao Hongyu. "Is it dangerous to cultivate the mystic crystal?"
"Of course." Zhao Hongyu nodded. "Cultivation is against nature, and it's like fighting against nature for vitality. The fact that the dragons have dragon cores is already a blessing from nature. Therefore, it's natural that their cultivation strength can't increase after reaching Dui-level. Therefore, it's very dangerous to implant a mystic crystal in one's body. "
Hao Ren suddenly understood. This was Zhao Kuo's second time cultivating the mystic crystal. He got through it safely last time, but it might not be the same this time. That was why both Zhao Guang and Zhao Kuo looked grim.
Those Qian-level and Kun-level cultivators, including Su Han, had all experienced life-threatening situations like this. Many cultivators who had obtained the mystic crystal materials had died in the process of refining the mystic crystal.
Zhao Kuo accepted Hao Ren's Seven-Core Five-Color Lotus, which was also a way for Hao Ren to test the waters!
Cultivating all five elements at the same time was something that no dragon cultivator had ever done before!
Implanting a mystic crystal with all five elements was something that no dragon cultivator had ever done before!
Zhao Kuo was risking his life with his experience as a peak Qian-level cultivator. Just like how he was cultivating the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll, he taught Hao Ren everything he knew about this technique without holding anything back.
At this thought, Hao Ren didn't feel bad about giving the Seven-Core Five-Color Lotus to Zhao Kuo anymore. Instead, he respected Zhao Kuo.
Da, da, da …
Zhao Yanzi was worried about Zhao Kuo, so she immediately turned and ran toward the palace.
Hao Ren was also anxious, so he hurried into the palace as well.
"Third Uncle! Third Uncle! "Zhao Yanzi yelled.
Zhao Kuo stopped and looked at Zhao Yanzi with a not-so-pretty smile on his dark face. "Zi, I'm fine."
"Third Uncle's Heavenly Tribulation is over. I'm not afraid of it!" Zhao Yanzi said confidently.
"En!" Zhao Kuo nodded and looked at Hao Ren who was running toward him. "Kid, I'll come out and fight you after I finish making the Mystic Crystal! At that time, bring out your full strength and fight with me! "
"Ok!" Hao Ren agreed immediately.
Elder Xingyue walked over calmly. "I'll … protect you."
It was a soft sentence, but it contained infinite care.
Zhao Kuo looked at her and stared at her for a few seconds before cupping her hands. "Then I'll have to trouble you."
Puff …
Even Hao Ren thought that Zhao Kuo was too dense.
"It's okay." Elder Xingyue waved her hand and followed Zhao Kuo to the secret chamber of the palace.
Sigh, these two people …
Feeling anxious for them, Hao Ren dragged Zhao Yanzi and hurried to follow them.
After Zhao Kuo and Elder Xingyue entered the secret chamber, Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi had to stay outside.
To make the Mystic Crystal, one must be well-prepared, and the cultivator who could protect a cultivator who was about to break through to the next realm must have a high realm and have a close relationship with the cultivator who was about to break through to the next realm. Only then could they save the cultivator at the critical moment.
The fact that Elder Xingyue was protecting Zhao Kuo meant that they were at least telepathic.
The stone door of the secret chamber was closed. Standing outside, Zhao Yanzi and Hao Ren didn't know what was going on inside.
After a while, Zhao Guang, Zhao Hongyu, Elder Lu, and Elder Sun all came to the door of the secret chamber.
"Mom, will Third Uncle be okay?" Zhao Yanzi asked anxiously.
"Silly girl, what are you talking about?" Zhao Hongyu glanced at Zhao Yanzi helplessly. "It will take at least one day and one night to make the Mystic Crystal. Your Third Uncle has experience with Mystic Crystals before, so he should be fine."
She didn't sound very sure. After all, no one could be sure when it came to making the Mystic Crystal, especially the five-elemental Mystic Crystal.
She and Zhao Guang didn't make the Mystic Crystal because they didn't want to break through to higher realms. Zhao Guang was busy with the East Ocean Dragon Palace and didn't have extra time to cultivate, and Zhao Hongyu wasn't confident that she could make the Mystic Crystal. She wasn't afraid of death; she was afraid that Zhao Yanzi would lose her mother.
Zhao Yanzi clenched her fists anxiously.
She wasn't even born when Zhao Kuo made the Mystic Crystal last time, but Zhao Kuo failed to reach the Heavenly Dragon Realm.
She didn't want anything to happen to her Third Uncle again.
"Dragon King, the soldiers around Purple Bamboo Island have been strengthened by three times," Premier Xia came to the door of the secret chamber and reported to Zhao Guang.
"Ok." Zhao Guang nodded solemnly.
He looked at the stone door of the secret chamber nervously. He had a close relationship with Zhao Kuo, and Zhao Kuo was the only master in the East Ocean Dragon Palace who could charge at the Heavenly Dragon Realm.
Most of the dragon cultivators who could reach peak Qian-level were about 800 to 900 years old. If they failed to charge at the Heavenly Dragon Realm, they would be turned into ashes. Even if they survived, they wouldn't have the chance to charge at the Heavenly Dragon Realm again.
However, Zhao Kuo was only 200 years old. If he failed, he would have the chance to make a comeback. What did the Heavenly Dragon Realm mean? The Heavenly Dragon Realm meant turning the world upside down!
Zhao Guang didn't want anything to happen to Zhao Kuo during the process of making the Mystic Crystal.
Time ticked by, and nothing happened in the secret chamber.
Hao Ren's heart was in his throat.
Zhao Yanzi grabbed Hao Ren's wrist nervously, and her thin fingers were sweating.
"Premier Xia, how long has it been?" Zhao Hongyu asked suddenly.
"Dragon Queen, 12 hours have passed," Premier Xia answered.
"12 hours …" Zhao Hongyu murmured to herself and looked at the grey stone door nervously.
Boom!
Boom!
A loud noise came from outside the palace.
Hearing the noise, Hao Ren looked at Zhao Guang in surprise.
"Ren, Zi, Elder Lu, and Elder Sun, go out and help!" Zhao Guang ordered.
Hao Ren didn't know what was going on, but he quickly followed Elder Lu up the stairs that led to the ground.
Zhao Yanzi followed Hao Ren closely with her slim legs.
Hao Ren followed Elder Lu out of the palace and found that a storm was brewing around the Purple Bamboo Island.
Thick dark clouds covered the sky and swept towards Purple Bamboo Island, while waves of five to six meters high slammed against the island.
If not for the fact that the temporary imperial residence was built on a higher part of the mountain, such a huge wave would have probably swallowed the entire palace!
The red energy sphere flickered under the impact of the waves. This energy sphere was only used to block the sight of mortals, and it couldn't even block the rainwater.
A few days ago, there was a sudden rainstorm on the ocean. Hao Ren had been cultivating in the Purple Bamboo Forest while experiencing the rainwater.
Now, the energy sphere was unstable, probably because the spirit stones that were used to set it up were loosened by the waves.
"Elder Lu, what's going on?" Hao Ren asked Lu Qing.
"Demon beasts!" Lu Qing threw out two words and looked around with rapt attention. "Third Lord is refining the Mystic Crystal, which has triggered a natural phenomenon. These demonic beasts are here for this."
"Most of these demon beasts are close to the Transformation Realm, and they are here for the Lightning Tribulation," Elder Sun added.
Purple Bamboo Island was located in the deep sea, and it wasn't far from the Demon Sea. The drastic changes in the sky and earth would attract a large number of demon beasts.
However, if they refined the mystic crystal in the East Ocean Dragon Palace near the shallow sea, the drastic changes in the sky and earth would affect mortals!
"Don't worry, Gongzi Hao. These demon beasts are here for the Lightning Tribulation, and they usually won't attack the Purple Bamboo Island," Elder Sun said.
"Humph! I'll kill them all! "Zhao Yanzi was very confident.
She had mastered the second strike of the Big Dipper Constellation Scroll, and she felt that she was powerful enough to force Zhao Kuo to back off. However, she had no idea what demon beasts in the Transformation Realm were.
Boom!
A huge whale floated on the surface of the sea.
The body of this huge whale was more than 100 meters long, longer than 100 Zhao Yanzi's. It opened its big red mouth, and a large amount of seawater rushed into its mouth.
Zhao Yanzi was astonished, and she immediately swallowed back the words that she had just said.
However, the moment this huge whale floated up, another huge black fish floated up from the sea. It was more than ten times bigger than this huge whale, and it looked like a small island that suddenly appeared.
This black fish spat out a black light, and the huge whale that was more than 100 meters long was immediately cut in half. Then, the remains of the whale turned into a puddle of blood, and a white demonic core floated up, which was swallowed by this black fish.
Zhao Yanzi was dumbfounded. Holding the longsword in her hand, she didn't know what to say.
"Alert the entire island!" Premier Xia stood on the high platform on the top of the mountain and yelled.
The soldiers here were originally led by Zhao Kuo, but Zhao Kuo was in the middle of refining the mystic crystal. Therefore, Premier Xia was in charge of this emergency.
"Yes!"
More than 5,000 soldiers scattered across the island responded in unison.
The soldiers picked up their spears and faced the outside of the island, ready to fight back if any demon beasts attacked!
Boom! Boom!
Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled in the dark clouds.
As a cultivator who had broken through several realms, Hao Ren knew very well that when a cultivator broke through a realm, it would cause a phenomenon in the surroundings. In fact, it was also a process of resonating with the Heaven and Earth when the cultivator's body was completely unlocked during the breakthrough.
The higher the realm, the stronger the natural phenomena. Therefore, this violent weather with lightning flashing and thunder rumbling represented the violent reaction in Zhao Kuo's body!
Hua!
In the sea, two huge pythons shot up into the sky.
Their tails, which were as thick as buildings, slapped the surface of the sea as they tried to soar into the sky.
Crack! Crack!
Two heavenly lightning bolts struck down from the dark clouds and struck the bodies of the two huge pythons.
These two huge pythons had been cultivating in the ocean for many years, and they would face the Thunder Tribulation in a few years. Now that they sensed the natural phenomena, they swam over from afar. After all, the heavenly lightning bolts caused by the breakthrough of high-level cultivators had a chance to help them transform.
Even if they didn't succeed, they could 'rehearse' it in advance and feel the heavenly lightning bolts, which would help them survive the Thunder Tribulation.
Dong … Dong …
The two pythons' heads were struck by the heavenly lightning bolts, and they fell back into the sea, creating huge waves that were hundreds of meters high.
Zhao Yanzi had never seen such a scene before, and she was stunned.
"Princess, some demon beasts don't dare to face the heavenly lightning bolts, but they have a grudge against our East Ocean Dragon Clan. They will attack Purple Bamboo Island during the chaos. Be careful," Elder Sun reminded Zhao Yanzi when he saw her stunned expression.
