"Ah … East Ocean Dragon Palace?" Zhao Yanzi blinked and looked at Hao Ren in surprise.
The nature essence was dense on Fifth Heaven, and the Ethereal Summit was protected by the array formation. It was much better than going to the East Ocean Dragon Palace at the bottom of the ocean.
Although the East Ocean Dragon Palace wasn't in chaos after Zhao Kuo was defeated by Su Han, all the elders were worried. If Hao Ren went to the East Ocean Dragon Palace to refine the mystic crystal, there would be more chaos.
Xie Yujia also looked at Hao Ren in confusion. However, since it was Hao Ren's decision, she trusted him and wouldn't stop him.
"Gongzi is right. The East Ocean Dragon Palace is well-protected, and it is the safest place to refine the mystic crystal," Lu Lili said.
After all, Fifth Heaven was the territory of human cultivators. Not only were there many Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, but there were also a few Soul Formation Realm cultivators.
Refining the mystic crystal was something that could go wrong at any time, and it should be done in the safest place. It was the same as breaking through realms. If one's mind wasn't calm enough, it wouldn't be easy to succeed.
Ethereal Summit was surrounded by array formations, but it was only a safe corner on Fifth Heaven. Too many accidents had happened here, and any disturbance would affect Hao Ren's process of refining the mystic crystal.
However, the East Ocean Dragon Palace was different. The entire ocean and the nearby land were under the control of the East Ocean Dragon Palace, and there were tens of millions of soldiers patrolling the area. Even if powerful enemies attacked, the East Ocean Dragon Palace could hold them off for a while.
Lu Linlin and Lu Lili knew that it was a wise choice for Hao Ren to refine the mystic crystal in the East Ocean Dragon Palace where the nature essence was relatively thin.
Besides, they had a vague feeling that Hao Ren was trying to cheer Zhao Kuo up.
Hao Ren released his palm toward the crack in the valley, and the golden shield that was stuck in the crack was sucked out by Hao Ren's palm force. It spun and hovered under Hao Ren's feet.
The Seven-Core Five-Color Lotuses had abundant nature essence, and the golden shield wanted to absorb it. However, the Lu sisters' Yin-Yang Bracelets enveloped the three Seven-Core Five-Color Lotuses, and it couldn't get close.
However, it did gain something in the last two days. When Xie Yujia was making elixir pills, she cleaned the surface of the shield with the Ruyi Cloth. Now, the golden shield was a real golden shield with the aura of an immortal dharma treasure, and it shone with golden light.
However, as long as it moved, it would reveal its true nature, restlessly roaming all over the place. It didn't have the slightest bit of the dignity of an immortal magical treasure.
Buzz!
Hao Ren stepped on the back of the golden shield and controlled it to fly.
Seeing that they were about to leave, the dozen snow lion cubs all ran over to them as if they didn't want to see them go.
Xie Yujia was moved. She reached out and picked up the four snow lion cubs.
These snow lions were bigger than when they first arrived, and none of them was light. Fortunately, Xie Yujia was a cultivator, so she was able to carry them.
Seeing Xie Yujia picking up their companion, the other snow lions were anxious. They raised their heads and barked.
Living in Ethereal Summit, they had found a rule. As long as Xie Yujia appeared, they would have food; otherwise, they would have to starve. The spiritual fields in the valley were protected by fences and array formations, and they couldn't get close to them.
With a smile, Lu Linlin and Lu Lili each picked up four snow lion cubs. Zhao Yanzi also picked up two. Seeing them, Duan Yao thought of Luojia of Sky Mountain Sect, so she bent down and picked up one as well.
"Greetings, Master!"
Seeing Hao Ren flying out of Ethereal Summit, the three sects around him yelled in unison.
Riding on different dharma treasures, five to six cultivators flew out of Ethereal Summit with more than a dozen snow lions in their arms. It was a magnificent scene even for the sects on Fifth Heaven.
Hao Ren looked back at Ethereal Summit, wondering if he would come back. After tonight, Su Han would break through to the Heavenly Dragon Realm tomorrow. If everything went well, Hao Ren would be able to make it back in time.
A moment later, Hao Ren flew from Fifth Heaven to First Heaven and dashed into East Ocean with Xie Yujia and the others.
Having returned to East Ocean, Liu Yi was responsible for guarding the area between the dragon palace and the land. Seeing Hao Ren coming back, he immediately came to greet him.
Now that Hao Ren was at mid-tier Xun-level, his speed was much faster than Liu Yi's.
"General Liu, increase the number of soldiers around the dragon palace by three times tonight," seeing Liu Yi coming over, Hao Ren ordered.
"Yes, sir!" Liu Yi didn't ask for the reason and answered directly.
"Perhaps there will be changes in the sky. Tell the soldiers not to panic. I'm going to cultivate the mystic crystal," Hao Ren added.
Liu Yi looked at Hao Ren in astonishment and nodded immediately. Then, he went straight to the barracks around the dragon palace to deploy the soldiers.
Hao Ren treated him as his confidant and didn't hide anything from him. Liu Yi, who was promoted from a city gate officer by Hao Ren, wouldn't betray Hao Ren's trust.
Liu Yi was a bit surprised. Hao Ren was going to cultivate the mystic crystal, and it was a big event. Especially since Hao Ren was the Commanding General of East Ocean, Zhao Kuo's morale was low after losing to Su Han. If Hao Ren failed again …
"Bah, bah, bah … General Hao is so brave. How could he fail?" Liu Yi slapped himself hard on the face and went back into the camp.
Meanwhile, Hao Ren led the girls into the East Ocean Dragon Palace through the city gate.
"Gongzi Hao …" The hunchbacked Premier Xia seemed to have found his backbone when he saw Hao Ren. "Third Lord is in seclusion cultivation, and he said that he won't come out for 200 years. You must persuade him!"
Now that Zhao Kuo didn't come out in a fit of anger, Hao Ren, the Commanding General of the East Ocean Dragon Palace, was the only commander. Premier Xia was worried that if Hao Ren didn't take care of the East Ocean Dragon Palace, it would be a mess.
"Ok …" Hao Ren nodded. "I'm going to cultivate the mystic crystal. Please prepare it for me, Premier Xia."
"Cultivate … mystic crystal?" Premier Xia raised his waist with difficulty and looked at Hao Ren in surprise.
He looked again and found that Hao Ren was indeed at mid-tier Xun-level, and it was normal for him to cultivate the mystic crystal at this realm.
If Hao Ren could reach Xun-level without using the mystic crystal, his future would be even brighter!
"Premier Xia, please find me the quietest place for cultivation in the dragon palace," Hao Ren said.
"This … this …" Premier Xia backed off a few steps. "I'll get it ready right away!"
Seeing Hao Ren's calm expression, he was a bit excited. "Could it be that with Hao Ren's fast cultivation speed, he can become a Heavenly Dragon in the future?"
Hao Ren couldn't wait to cultivate the mystic crystal. The small circle in the dragon palace was organized immediately.
Outside the dragon palace, Liu Yi was waiting with tens of thousands of soldiers.
Knowing that Hao Ren was going to cultivate the mystic crystal, Zhao Guang and Zhao Hongyu both came out of the palace, which made Zhao Yanzi very nervous.
Everyone was worried when she waited for Zhao Kuo to cultivate the mystic crystal, but it didn't go well. "Is it really so dangerous to cultivate the mystic crystal?"
More than a dozen purple-robed elders who were discussing the strategy of the East Ocean Dragon Palace heard the news and hurried out with Zhao Guang.
The place they arranged for Hao Ren was Zhao Haoran's cultivation place.
This was the center of the East Ocean Dragon Palace and the center of the grand protective array formation. Since Zhao Haoran wasn't in the East Ocean Dragon Palace, even the purple-robed elders couldn't get close to this area. Now that Zhao Guang arranged for Hao Ren to cultivate the mystic crystal, he was giving Hao Ren the best cultivation environment.
To some extent, Hao Ren had inherited Zhao Haoran's legacy. By cultivating here, Hao Ren could absorb the old dragon king Zhao Haoran's aura.
"Mom, is it really dangerous?" Standing beside Zhao Hongyu, Zhao Yanzi asked repeatedly when she saw Hao Ren enter the secret chamber.
"Your Third Uncle has experience in cultivating the mystic crystal, so he succeeded on the first try. Hao Ren's realm is at mid-tier Xun-level, but it's not easy to absorb the mystic crystal into his body, "Zhao Hongyu said.
"Then, tell Hao Ren to cancel it!" Zhao Yanzi regretted it.
"Hao Ren wants to cultivate the mystic crystal, and we can't shake his determination now. Your Third Uncle wanted to charge at the Heavenly Dragon Realm in the next two days, and he said that these days are the best days, "Zhao Hongyu answered.
In fact, she was surprised when Hao Ren announced that he wanted to cultivate the mystic crystal. However, since Hao Ren had found the most suitable mystic crystal, he should cultivate it as soon as possible to increase his cultivation speed.
Every cultivator of the Dragon Clan would refine the Mystic Crystal they found so that they could step into a higher realm in advance.
After all, the mystic crystal was something that could only be found by luck. Even if the mystic crystal was safe, there was no guarantee that the cultivator would be safe.
Standing on the other side of Zhao Hongyu, Xie Yujia was anxious as well.
Duan Yao clenched her fists and watched Hao Ren enter the secret chamber with a complicated expression. She had been with Hao Ren for the past few days, and she had been trying to kill Hao Ren to take revenge. She had a few chances, but she couldn't do it.
More than a dozen Snow Lions lined up and squatted at Xie Yujia's feet from a distance.
The purple-robed elders of the East Ocean Dragon Palace were surprised when they saw the snow lions. They didn't expect Hao Ren to get so many Bin-level spirit beasts, and they were all level 2!
"Gongzi!"
Lu Linlin and Lu Lili hesitated for a few seconds before running toward Hao Ren.
"We … will protect Gongzi!" The Lu sisters said with determination.
"No need." Hao Ren shook his head.
Protecting Gongzi required telepathy. If Hao Ren failed to cultivate the mystic crystal, they would be involved if they helped.
"Gongzi has the Immortal Physique, and we are inseparable. Also …" Lu Linlin looked at Hao Ren and hesitated for half a second before saying, "This is probably the last time we can help Gongzi."
"You …" Hao Ren looked at them with regret.
"We have to go back." Lu Linlin smiled helplessly with a sad expression on her face. "Gongzi is already at mid-tier Xun-level. If he successfully cultivates the mystic crystal, his realm will increase by another level. I don't think he needs Linlin and Lili anymore."
Hearing Lu Linlin's words, Lu Lili bit her lip as tears welled up in her eyes.
She wasn't as lively as Lu Linlin, but she really missed Hao Ren.
"Besides, we got the seeds of two 10,000-year-old Seven-Core Five-Color Lotuses. Lili and I can cultivate with each other and form a joint force with Gongzi," Lu Linlin continued.
"Ok …" Hao Ren looked at their sincere faces and realized that time was running out. Therefore, he turned and entered the secret chamber.
Hao Ren knew that Lu Linlin and Lu Lili weren't cultivators from this world, and they would go back one day.
In fact, when he heard the voice calling them Chengxin and Chengyi on Seventh Heaven, he knew that the Lu sisters wouldn't stay for long.
When the Lu sisters mentioned the change of ancestral dragons and the change of the world, he knew that the Lu sisters were going back.
He also hoped that the Lu sisters could stay by his side and live happily. However, he felt that he couldn't give them happiness, and he couldn't force them to stay if they wanted to go back.
Seeing the Lu sisters entering the secret chamber with Hao Ren, Zhao Yanzi and Xie Yujia guessed that they were going to protect Hao Ren. Among them, Lu Linlin and Lu Lili had the highest realms, and they were the closest to Hao Ren. They just hoped that Hao Ren would be fine.
Creak, creak, creak … The stone door of the secret chamber closed slowly.
Meanwhile, in the secret chamber on the top floor of the Dragon God Shrine, the nine Deputy Shrine Masters stood in a row and faced the back of the Shrine Master.
"Shrine Master, are you really going to use the Dragon God Shrine as the place for Su Han's ascension?"
One of the nine Deputy Shrine Masters couldn't help but ask.
The Shrine Master faced the wall and didn't turn around or speak.
"The Heavenly Dragon Tribulation can't be blocked by ordinary cultivators. The Dragon God Shrine controls all the dragons in the world, and it's floating in the high sky …"
"There are many prisoners in the Dragon God Shrine. If the array formation changes …"
"Shrine Master …"
The nine Deputy Shrine Masters spoke one after another.
Even Yue Zilong felt that it was too risky to use the Dragon God Shrine as the place for Su Han to ascend to the Heavenly Dragon Realm.
The array formation of the Dragon God Shrine could block some of the Heavenly Tribulation, but if Su Han couldn't withstand the Heavenly Tribulation, the Dragon God Shrine might collapse.
It would be great if there was a Heavenly Dragon Realm cultivator in the inspector group, but it would be a little reckless if the entire Dragon God Shrine was involved in this matter.
"I've made up my mind. Don't mention it again." The Shrine Master raised his hand and stopped the nine Deputy Shrine Masters.
Two of the Deputy Shrine Masters wanted to say something but found that they couldn't speak.
"You must know that the Dragon God Shrine won't last forever," the Shrine Master said.
The nine Deputy Shrine Masters were all silent.
Indeed, the Dragon God Shrine was established to stabilize the cultivation world after the great war and to supervise the dragon forces that had become unbalanced. It was also to prevent the human cultivation sects from breaking the agreement and attacking the land.
After hundreds of years of management and adaptation, the cultivation sects had stabilized on Fifth Heaven and were no longer interested in the land where the nature essence was thin. The dragon cultivators no longer stirred up trouble and slowly integrated into the lives of mortals, and the forces of the Dragon Tribe had also become stable.
The Dragon God Shrine was getting more powerful, but it was essentially a temporary organization. Even though the nine Deputy Shrine Masters didn't admit it verbally, they knew it.
"If Su Han passes the Heavenly Tribulation successfully, I'll give the Dragon God Shrine to her. If she fails the Heavenly Tribulation, you guys can forget about it. "
The Shrine Master turned around slowly and looked at the nine Deputy Shrine Masters with a cold face. He said slowly in an unquestionable tone.
