Hao Ren stabilized his realm in the cave abode. Soon, Xie Yujia and the other three girls returned to the valley and brought back the casualties.
The three small sects had lost more than 200 cultivators, which was almost a quarter of the total. More than half of them were Qi Refinement Realm cultivators, and the rest were Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators. The Seven Star Sect lost a Core Formation Realm elder.
Xie Yujia and the other three girls gave them elixir pills. Since their realms were low, they gave out about 40 elixir pills in total. Each elixir pill could be broken into several pieces, and several cultivators could use them to heal and recover.
For the masters of the three small sects, surviving in the dangerous Fifth Heaven meant victory. Although the casualties were unexpected, they were mentally prepared. However, they didn't expect to be attacked by the Sky Mountain Sect on Sixth Heaven.
"Well …" Hao Ren sighed slightly when he heard their words.
Fifth Heaven was a place full of conflicts, and the small sects with dozens of years of history could be wiped out one day.
If Sky Mountain Sect had tried to negotiate with Xie Yujia and Zhao Yanzi when they captured Duan Yao, Hao Ren wouldn't have fought so fiercely.
However, Sky Mountain Sect suppressed them with force and killed the cultivators of the small sects, which enraged Hao Ren.
"Are you okay?" Xie Yujia stood outside of Hao Ren's cave abode and told him about the situation of the small sects before asking him.
"I'm fine. My meridians are slightly damaged. Su Han was cultivating in your cave abode, and she was probably injured by Grandma. Linlin, Lili, are you guys okay? "Hao Ren asked.
"Gongzi! We're fine! We'll recover slowly! "the Lu sisters yelled immediately.
Since they had five-elemental physiques, the dharma note temporarily locked their realms, but they could break it with some cultivation.
However, Su Han was different from the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators. She had metal and water elements, and most of the Nascent Soul Realm elders had a single elemental root. The essence-locking dharma note was like an invisible lock that locked the five elemental essences. If the five elemental essences didn't break at the same time, they couldn't get rid of the dharma note.
"Gongzi, don't worry and cultivate!"
Lu Linlin and Lu Lili didn't tell Hao Ren what they knew. Instead, they followed Xie Yujia and Zhao Yanzi back to Xie Yujia's cave abode.
In fact, after activating Zhao Haoran's 1,000-year cultivation strength, the nature essence in Hao Ren's body was in a mess. The Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll was supposed to be running smoothly, but every acupoint in his body had to pause.
However, that trace of pure Origin Energy of Heaven and Earth still managed to seal Zhao Haoran's thousand-year cultivation in its entirety.
The more he used, the less cultivation strength he had. However, to maintain the normal operation of the spiritual core that was like a black hole filled with intense energy, he needed this bit of cultivation strength. That was why he drew the missing part from his body, causing him to be severely overdrawn!
If it weren't for the abundant Nature Essence in the valley, the array formations in Hao Ren's cave abode, and the constant replenishment from Hao Ren's Light Splitting Sword Shadows, he would have been killed!
It was as if there was a black hole in the body. It was originally in a state of equilibrium, but when it was activated, the energy burst out and then retracted, and it would devour itself!
Unless Hao Ren reached peak Qian-level, he would never be able to use this cultivation strength perfectly! The lower his realm was, the more damage he would suffer!
When the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll was running at full force, Hao Ren became the medium between nature and the spiritual core. As the nature essence was sucked in, Hao Ren couldn't move his body. If he moved, the spiritual core would become unstable, and he would die!
If someone pushed Hao Ren now, he would explode immediately.
Bang!
In the secret chamber of Sky Mountain Sect, Sect Master Duan Ye slammed the table.
As a peak Core Formation Realm cultivator, he could charge at the Nascent Soul Realm at any time. His wife, Duan Yao's mother, was a top-tier Core Formation Realm cultivator, and she looked serious.
There were still a few bruises on Duan Yao's face. She changed into a clean set of clothes, bit her lips, and sat beside Duan Ye.
Sitting around the table were the eight elders of Sky Mountain Sect and Lingwu Master.
Although Duan Ye hadn't reached the Nascent Soul Realm, he had reached peak Core Formation Realm. With the elixir pills of Sky Mountain Sect, it was almost impossible for him to charge at the Nascent Soul Realm.
However, he had to cultivate in seclusion for hundreds of years to charge at the Nascent Soul Realm, and he still had to manage Sky Mountain Sect. The new generation of disciples were not mature yet, and Duan Yao was still young. That was why he didn't charge at the Nascent Soul Realm.
Since Duan Ye was a quasi-Nascent Soul Realm cultivator and was highly regarded by Lingwu Master, none of the elders looked down on him.
This time, Sky Mountain Sect lost hundreds of Core Formation Realm cultivators. As the Sect Master, how could he control his emotions?
Especially when Sky Mountain Sect was attacked while he was cultivating. All the houses on the mountainside were destroyed, and the Scroll Pavilion near the back mountain had collapsed!
Sky Mountain Sect had never suffered such a heavy loss since it was founded!
Sky Mountain Sect only lost two Nascent Soul Realm cultivators and more than 60 Core Formation Realm cultivators during the chaotic war in the cultivation world. However, after entering Sixth Heaven, the sect's development was even better than before. It had tens of thousands of cultivators and hundreds of Core Formation Realm cultivators, which was unprecedented!
However, this time, the foundation of Sky Mountain Sect was cut in half!
"No matter what kind of background Ethereal Summit has, we have to fight. If we let them rest for a while and attack again, it will be a disaster. "
Duan Yao's mother looked at Duan Ye's face and said after a moment of consideration.
The eight elders didn't respond. Ethereal Summit not only had two peak Nascent Soul Realm cultivators as their support, but they also had Soul Formation Realm cultivators on Eighth Heaven!
Soul Formation Realm cultivators could be called Earthly Immortals due to their extraordinary powers and special status, and they could roam the world freely. However, those who could cultivate in seclusion on Eighth Heaven weren't ordinary Soul Formation Realm cultivators.
Godly Cloud Dao, which occupied Eighth Heaven, was extremely arrogant. Even the grand cultivators on Seventh Heaven would be killed without mercy if they dared to enter Eighth Heaven.
Eighth Heaven had its own system, and it didn't interact with any sects below Seventh Heaven. It was said that it even had several Soul Formation Realm cultivators.
Ordinary Soul Formation Realm cultivators could walk around on Eighth Heaven, but it wasn't easy to occupy a cave abode on Eighth Heaven to cultivate.
Therefore, the Soul Formation Realm cultivators who could cultivate in seclusion on Eighth Heaven were probably Soul Formation Realm cultivators from Godly Cloud Dao! Otherwise, they had to be powerful enough to subdue Godly Cloud Dao!
"Master, should we … send a letter to Seventh Heaven?" Duan Ye asked.
Since Sky Mountain Sect excelled in elixir making and beast raising, it had a good relationship with several sects on Seventh Heaven. Duan Yao's Big Dipper Constellation Scroll was traded from a sect on Seventh Heaven.
Currently, there were only seven sects on Seventh Heaven, and three of them were the top sects of Sky Mountain Sect. Sky Mountain Sect regularly provided elixir pills in exchange for Sky Mountain Sect's protection.
Sky Mountain Sect on Sixth Heaven originally had four Nascent Soul Realm cultivators. However, due to the rapid development of Sky Mountain Sect in the past 50 years, it had gained five low-tier Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, making the number of Nascent Soul Realm cultivators to nine, far more than the other sects on Sixth Heaven.
Two hundred years ago, a sect on Seventh Heaven was forced to Sixth Heaven. That was why the ambitious Sky Mountain Sect had been looking forward to ascending to Seventh Heaven!
However, this battle made all of Sky Mountain Sect's efforts go to waste.
"Forget it!" Lingwu Master waved his hand.
"This …" Duan Ye looked at Lingwu Master in confusion.
The sects on Seventh Heaven had Soul Formation Realm cultivators. With the relationship between Sky Mountain Sect and Seventh Heaven, they should have done something if they asked the sects on Seventh Heaven for help.
Duan Ye knew that Sky Mountain Sect had Soul Formation Realm cultivators, but Sky Mountain Sect didn't have no background!
They could at least bring out the Soul Formation Realm cultivators on both sides to even things out, and Sky Mountain Sect could recover some losses!
His idea wasn't unreasonable. If both sides brought out the Soul Formation Realm cultivators, Ethereal Summit would be in big trouble. After all, Sky Mountain Sect wasn't destroyed for nothing.
However, Duan Ye only knew that there was a Soul Formation Realm cultivator on Eighth Heaven, but he didn't know that the Soul Formation Realm cultivator was on Eighth Heaven.
When Lingwu Master sensed that the Soul Formation Realm cultivator was on Eighth Heaven, he immediately knew that Sky Mountain Sect had no chance.
"That's the only way." Lingwu Master's eyes flashed. "Yao, put on the Ice Fire Shackle and face the wall for half a month!"
Duan Yao's eyes widened, and Duan Yao's mother sighed and dragged her out of the secret chamber.
The Ice Fire Shackle was a special dharma treasure that could alternate between extreme coldness and extreme heat. Cultivators below the Nascent Soul Realm couldn't block it with nature essence.
This was the most severe punishment after destroying one's spiritual root. Wearing the Ice Fire Shackle and being unable to eat, one would be on the verge of death after ten days. If Duan Yao's mother didn't secretly send her elixir pills for 15 days, she would definitely be killed!
"As for Ethereal Summit …" Lingwu Master thought for a while and said, "Just pay 30,000 spirit stones, 6,000 spiritual herbs, 20 level 3 snow lions, 600 blood condensing pills, and … 10 mid-tier dharma treasures as an apology."
"This …" Duan Ye and Duan Yao widened their eyes in disbelief.
Sky Mountain Sect had lost hundreds of Core Formation Realm cultivators, and the eight elders and Lingwu Master's realms were temporarily lowered. The Mystic Sun Shield and the Sky-Turning Stamp were broken as well, and even the sect was destroyed. Now, they had to apologize to them!
Supreme spiritual treasures were powerful, but the Soul Formation Realm cultivators on Seventh Heaven must have supreme spiritual treasures as well!
Lingwu Master, who had always been tough, actually proposed such a solution!
With Lingwu Master's status, as long as he wrote a letter to Seventh Heaven and gave out half of Sky Mountain Sect's spiritual herbs, he would be able to save face!
Lingwu Master waved his hand tiredly and said, "If they are still not satisfied, then add more compensation."
"This …" Duan Ye was so surprised that he couldn't say anything.
Duan Ye's idea was based on Lingwu Master's personality and actions. However, Lingwu Master, who had been through all kinds of storms and killed several Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, suddenly became weak!
"Eight Junior Nephews, hurry up and break through the dharma notes. If Lieyang and the others recover their cultivation strength first, our Sky Mountain Sect will really fall to Fifth Heaven."
Lingwu Master said with a sad expression.
