– East Ocean Dragon Palace –
Zhao Yanzi and Xie Yujia had been waiting anxiously outside the secret chamber all night.
The dozen or so Snow Lion cubs were lying in the corner of the wall, sleeping soundly. Duan Yao sat calmly on a chair with her eyes closed and a snow lion cub on her lap.
Zhao Guang and Zhao Hongyu were very worried. However, as the dragon king and dragon queen of the East Ocean Dragon Palace, they had to stay calm. From their occasional silent glances, they knew that they were also worried about Hao Ren's success in cultivating.
Just like what Zhao Yanzi had told Hao Ren, breakthroughs in cultivation could easily result in broken limbs or even death on the spot. The higher the realm, the more it was like a gamble with fate.
Ascending to the Heavenly Dragon Realm was undoubtedly the biggest gamble.
Zhao Hongyu and Zhao Guang had some conflicts. If they didn't let Hao Ren cultivate the mystic crystal, they would be cutting off his path of cultivation. If they let him cultivate the mystic crystal and failed, not only would Hao Ren be in danger, but Zhao Yanzi would also be in danger.
Zhao Yanzi's life was in Hao Ren's hands. The higher Hao Ren's realm was, the safer Zhao Yanzi would be. However, the more dangerous Hao Ren was, the more danger Zhao Yanzi would be in.
In the middle of the night, Zhao Yanzi and Xie Yujia went outside and talked about something. When they came back, their expressions were calmer.
Boom!
Suddenly, a five-colored light shot up from the secret chamber.
This colorful spiritual light shot up from the deep sea into the clouds, and it was brighter than the rising sun.
Yue Yang was about to get up in the bedroom of the small house by the sea. She was stunned when she saw this light.
In the city, the young dragon cultivators also saw the magnificent light rushing out from the East Ocean Dragon Palace from afar.
Even the dragon cultivators in the mountains and lakes near East Ocean City were astonished by the sudden light that shot up into the sky.
The East Ocean Dragon Palace used to be the most powerful force in the ocean. However, it had been many years since the East Ocean Dragon Palace showed any signs of glory.
However, this light … this shock … this turbulence …
Boom!!!
Waves of strong suppression swept across the ocean.
The South Ocean Dragon Clan, North Ocean Dragon Clan, and even the West Ocean Dragon Clan could vaguely see the light shooting up from the East Ocean Dragon Palace.
"Could it be that … the ultimate treasure of the East Ocean Dragon Palace is back?"
The demon beasts in the distant Demon Sea were restless, and they were about to rush out of the ocean. However, they suddenly sensed Lady Zhen's aura and sank to the bottom of the ocean.
Yue Yang, who was in the seaside villa, hurriedly took out her phone. Just as she was about to let the weather station in the ocean record this situation, the light gradually faded.
The morning glow in the east rose slowly, as if the light was a reflection of the ocean.
Outside the secret chamber, Xie Yujia and Zhao Yanzi held onto each other's wrists to steady themselves before they finally saw Hao Ren walking out of the secret chamber.
The ceiling of the originally sealed chamber had been pierced through, and the colorful spiritual light inside was still lingering.
Lu Linlin and Lu Lili, who were wearing rose-colored knitted shirts, didn't come out of the secret chamber. Their fair faces looked especially rosy and lustrous in their peach-colored coats.
Last night, they not only helped Hao Ren cultivate the mystic crystal but also refined the two 10,000-year-old Seven-Core Five-Color Lotuses into their bodies. Since the lotuses came from the same origin, their cultivation strengths could be converted into each other's, and they were almost telepathically connected!
"Big Zhumu, Little Zhumu, Linlin and Lili are gone!" Standing in the secret chamber, they bowed slightly to Xie Yujia and Zhao Yanzi and said in unison.
Zhao Yanzi and Xie Yujia were a bit surprised. However, before they could calm down, Lu Linlin and Lu Lili turned into two colorful lights and shot up into the sky, drawing two beautiful rainbows and entering the endless clouds.
In the villa, Yue Yang saw two more lights rising in the morning glow. She immediately picked up the camera that she had taken out of the drawer, but she was still a bit slow.
The cultivators around East Ocean City saw two more lights shooting up from the East Ocean Dragon Palace while layers of auspicious clouds that mortals couldn't see floated on the surface of the ocean. They were shocked to realize that cultivators from the East Ocean Dragon Palace had ascended!
Hao Ren looked up at the Lu sisters who had turned into two lights, and his mind went blank.
While the two of them were by his side, they would occasionally quarrel with each other, but overall, they were very quiet. Hao Ren thought about it carefully and realized that he didn't do much for them and rarely even took them out for meals.
The sisters often entertained themselves, but they were actually quite lonely.
Zhao Hongyu looked up and saw the colorful lights that the Lu sisters had turned into gradually disappear in the sky, and she felt a bit sad.
The Lu sisters were lively and cute from every angle, and their existence was a help to the East Ocean Dragon Palace. Now, they finally went back.
"Our East Ocean Dragon Palace can't keep the cultivators from the Heavenly Realm," Zhao Guang said when he saw Zhao Hongyu's reluctant expression.
Zhao Hongyu liked Xie Yujia who was obedient and sensible, and she also liked the lively and smart Lu sisters.
"Yeah …" Zhao Hongyu nodded and looked at Hao Ren who was walking out of the secret chamber.
Hao Ren didn't look different after cultivating the mystic crystal, but his body had changed drastically.
After being purified by Hao Ren's natal nature essence, the ordinary black lotus seed emitted colorful lights and became extremely dazzling.
The 100,000-year-old Seven-Core Five-Color Lotus easily absorbed all of Hao Ren's nature essence, and it was easier for him to absorb nature essence from the surroundings.
When he successfully cultivated the mystic crystal, Hao Ren felt like lotuses were blooming in his body, and there were even vague shadows of lotuses above his head.
Lu Linlin and Lu Lili had also completely refined the 10,000-year-old Seven-Core Five-Color Lotus at that moment. Five white lotuses floated around them, and each lotus was a five-petal lotus!
They had wanted to suppress their realms and stay with Hao Ren, but they had to go back now.
Su Han was going to charge at the Heavenly Dragon Realm. With her current strength, she would cause great changes in nature. Since the Saint Mother already knew that they were hiding in the mortal world, they couldn't afford to make any mistakes if they stayed in the Heavenly Realm.
That was why they had to go back after helping Hao Ren cultivate the mystic crystal. This would be the last time they could help Hao Ren.
Lu Linlin and Lu Lili knew the Saint Mother very well, and they knew that they wouldn't be punished if they went back in time. However, if they didn't go back, they would get Hao Ren into trouble.
After all, they knew that the Saint Mother loved them very much. Locking them up in the East Ocean Dragon Palace was just a light punishment. Letting them go back was because she didn't want them to get involved in the great changes in nature.
The white dawn rose from the east, lighting up the ocean.
Hao Ren looked up and saw the array formation around the East Ocean Dragon Palace repairing itself. Then, he looked at Xie Yujia and Zhao Yanzi in front of him.
Both of them had tear stains on their faces. It was clear that they had been very worried throughout the night.
"It's okay now …" Hao Ren smiled bitterly and opened his arms.
Without thinking, Xie Yujia took half a step forward and went into Hao Ren's arms. Zhao Yanzi reached out and slapped Hao Ren's arms away.
At this moment, Xie Yujia realized that everyone was staring at Hao Ren. With a blush on her face, she immediately got out of Hao Ren's arms.
Duan Yao widened her big eyes and looked at Hao Ren as if he were a rare animal. Hao Ren came out of the secret chamber successfully, and she didn't know if she should be happy or sad.
"Yao, let's go back!" A pleasant voice floated over the ocean.
Hearing the voice, Duan Yao immediately jumped up and threw Snow Lionet toward Hao Ren before dashing toward the ocean.
Lady Zhen was here to pick her up!
She couldn't hold back her joy as if she were a kindergarten kid who saw her parents finally show up.
"Humph! I'll kill you next time! "Duan Yao threw the words at Hao Ren as she flew toward the ocean.
Hao Ren caught Snow Lionet and looked at her helplessly.
Duan Yao always said that she would kill him, but she didn't do anything. It had almost become her pet phrase.
He turned his head slightly and saw Zhao Kuo standing at the end of the corridor.
Elder Xingyue stood next to him with a hint of joy on her usually cold face.
Hao Ren smiled, knowing that Zhao Kuo wouldn't be able to sit still after he refined the mystic crystal. Seeing Zhao Kuo coming out, Elder Xingyue knew that Hao Ren's anger was gone. No wonder she was so happy.
"When will Su Han charge into the Heavenly Dragon Realm?" Hao Ren asked.
"At noon at the Dragon God Shrine," Lu Qing answered.
Since Su Han was going to charge into the Heavenly Dragon Realm, everyone was trying to gather information. With the power of the East Ocean Dragon Clan, they could certainly gather accurate information.
Hao Ren didn't expect Su Han to choose the Dragon God Shrine to charge into the Heavenly Dragon Realm, but it was the best place for her to pass the Heavenly Tribulation.
When Zhao Kuo passed the Heavenly Tribulation, the East Ocean Dragon Clan built a huge platform in the deep ocean and spent a lot of time preparing it, but it was destroyed in the Heavenly Tribulation. This time, Hao Ren was surprised that the Dragon God Shrine offered its platform to support Su Han's Heavenly Tribulation.
"With Su Han's temperament and realm, this Heavenly Tribulation shouldn't be too powerful …" Hao Ren thought.
"Uncle, Uncle, I have to go back. I'll go to Su Han's Heavenly Tribulation, "Hao Ren said.
"Ok …" Zhao Guang and Zhao Hongyu didn't object.
With Hao Ren's potential, he had the opportunity to charge into the Heavenly Dragon Realm in the future. Therefore, watching Su Han pass the Heavenly Tribulation would be an experience for Hao Ren no matter if she succeeded or failed.
"Let's go!" Hao Ren held Xie Yujia and Zhao Yanzi's hands in one hand and flew toward the high sky of the East Ocean Dragon Palace.
He had made up his mind that he wouldn't interfere in Su Han's attempt to charge into the Heavenly Dragon Realm. Just like the battle between Su Han and Zhao Kuo, no one knew who would win until the last moment.
During the battle at the Dragon God Shrine, he thought that Su Han had lost after being knocked down by Zhao Kuo, and he wanted to catch her. However, Su Han had a backup plan and turned the situation around instantly.
If Zhao Kuo and Su Han didn't knock him back at the same time, he would have died if he rushed out recklessly.
With Su Han's personality, Hao Ren didn't even need to interfere in a fight, let alone a Heavenly Tribulation!
Heavenly Tribulation was a gamble! Not every cultivator was as tough as Zhao Kuo! Success meant life, failure meant death! This might be the last time Hao Ren saw Su Han! (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian.Com and vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
