Bang! The five Soul Formation Realm cultivators followed Hao Ren into Fifth Heaven.
The few Nascent Soul Realm cultivators on Fifth Heaven suddenly felt the intense surges of nature essence Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! The few Nascent Soul Realm cultivators all rushed out from their sects and toward where these strong surges of nature essence appeared.
The nature essence on Sixth Heaven was dense, so the appearance of Soul Formation Realm cultivators would not create waves and surges. However, the nature essence on Fifth Heaven was thin, so when these five Soul Formation Realm cultivators appeared at the same time, they created nature essence waves just like the moving supreme spiritual treasures.
The Nascent Soul Realm cultivators quickly came over to see what was happening, and they were almost scared to death when they saw the five Soul Formation Realm cultivators from afar. They immediately fell to the ground and shivered.
The cultivators of the three sects near Ethereal Summit also noticed the five Soul Formation Realm cultivators and were scared to death.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Five sharp arrows were shot from Ethereal Summit.
On the tip of each arrow was an energy ball. They were white, blue, black, red, and yellow, representing the elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth respectively!
The five arrows had gone in different routes, but all of them ended up right in front of each of the five Soul Formation Realm cultivators surprisingly.
The five Soul Formation Realm cultivators all held up their hands to catch the arrows.
Bang! The arrows exploded at the same time, letting out the dense five elemental nature essence.
These Soul Formation Realm cultivators were a bit shocked. They didn’t expect the arrows to be so fast and so powerful.
Of course, an attack of this extent couldn’t do them harm.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Just when they were still surprised, five more arrows were shot over.
Ten connecting arrows!
Life-Death Notes!
The Soul Formation Realm cultivators were not afraid of the power of the arrows, but they turned pale when they saw the hidden dharma notes.
Only when they saw Ethereal Summit did they find out that Zhen Yuan Immortal’s brother lived here.
When they saw the Life-Death Notes shooting out from Ethereal Summit, they learned that someone in Ethereal Summit had close ties with Qingfeng Hermit.
They paid no attention to what happened in other places while they cultivated on Seventh Heaven. However, they did learn that Qingfeng Hermit had taken in a disciple, but they did not expect that the disciple lived in Ethereal Summit!
Now, they realized that Qingfeng Hermit had created ties with Zhen Yuan Immortal.
“She moves fast! Although it seems like Qingfeng Hermit had retreated to Eighth Heaven and did not care about what happened below her, she is much faster than us!” These five Soul Formation Realm cultivators thought and felt more respect toward her.
Xie Yujia was the person shooting arrows from Ethereal Summit.
Since she had eaten Zhen Yuan Zi’s Immortal Fruit, she had successfully reached the Core Formation Realm from the Foundation Establishment Realm. She was impatiently waiting for Hao Ren’s return in the valley.
When she saw Hao Ren flying toward Ethereal Summit on Little White’s back with five unknown cultivators following, she shot a few arrows to help Hao Ren out.
However, these cultivators were able to singlehandedly destroy the arrows that she shot out with all her power. Just when she was anxious about what to do next, Hao Ren opened the array formation and led the five cultivators into the valley.
The golden shield had returned to the dark-golden color after Xie Yujia wiped it with the Ruyi Cloth.
When it discovered that five Soul Formation Realm cultivators appeared, it happily flew toward them from the rock.
Buzz! Buzz! It let out golden lights so that it could attract the attention of these Soul Formation Realm cultivators. Then, it let out nature essence that surpassed the level of a normal supreme spiritual treasure.
After being in the cultivation world for thousands of years, these Soul Formation Realm cultivators knew what the shield wanted.
It wanted them to know that it was a better supreme spiritual treasure than whatever they owned! It wanted them to be its master!
Anyone would be interested in owning such a treasure.
Moreover, they could tell right away that this treasure was better than the supreme spiritual treasures they had!
But who did this treasure belong to right now? It belonged to Zhen Yuan Zi’s brother! It was a treasure of Ethereal Summit!
These Soul Formation Realm cultivators did not dare to take this treasure for themselves!
The golden shield flew around the five Soul Formation Realm cultivators, letting out eye-piercing golden lights. However, it failed to interest the Soul Formation Realm cultivators.
With its low level of intelligence, it felt frustrated. It was a great treasure, but these Soul Formation Realm cultivators did not even look at it. What they should have been doing was fighting for it!
As long as they fought, the golden shield would be able to tell who was the strongest. Then, it would pick that person to be its owner!
Buzz! Buzz!”
Once again, it let out a golden light.
Now, Hao Ren realized that this shield wanted these Soul Formation Realm cultivators to take it in.
Bam!
Hao Ren shot out a sword energy onto the shield’s surface.
The golden shield spun as it wavered left and right, but the five Soul Formation Realm cultivators just stood there as if they were wooden dolls and didn’t give it any reactions.
It was a great treasure. How dare they ignore it!
The golden shield’s pride was deeply hurt, so it spun in the air and landed in a corner.
“Where’s Zi?” Hao Ren asked Xie Yujia.
“She’s cultivating in seclusion. She should probably come out soon,” Xie Yujia responded.
She had eaten an Immortal Fruit, which enabled her to easily reach the Core Formation Realm from the Foundation Establishment Realm. For Zhao Yanzi, it was harder since she was at the Core Formation Realm already.
Hao Ren wasn’t worried because he felt like Zhao Yanzi could do it. He took out the 10,000-year-old Black Herbs from his necklace and handed them to Xie Yujia while saying, “I’ve gathered all the ingredients. These are the helpers whom I’ve recruited to help. They can make the array formation.”
“OK…” Xie Yujia took Black Herbs, looked at those cultivators whom she couldn’t see through, and ran over to the spiritual field before burying the 10,000-year-old Black Herbs into the soil.
They now had gathered the ten best spiritual herbs in the world, two more than what was required to cultivate the Seven-Core Five-Color Lotus. Now, the Seven-Core Five-Color Lotus was going to be a lot better.
Xie Yujia buried the other seven herbs in order. Then, she mixed the last two herbs in proportion and buried them in the center before putting the lotus seed in the center and covering it with soul.
The five Soul Formation Realm cultivators just watched Xie Yujia work in the spiritual field. None of them dared to move.
They could see the mark on Xie Yujia’s shoulder; it was the mark from Qingfeng Hermit.
They knew that she was the disciple of Qingfeng Hermit, but they felt that she didn’t have much potential in cultivation.
What was more surprising to them was her physique. They felt that in order for her to reach the Core Formation Realm, she must have used up many valuable resources. With the resources that she used, a talented cultivator could have reached the Nascent Soul Realm.
If they knew that Zhao Yanzi and Xie Yujia each ate one of Zhen Yuan Zi’s Immortal Fruit, they would probably be extremely jealous.
Immortal Fruits were holy fruits that even Soul Formation Realm cultivators couldn’t eat! It was such a waste to be consumed by a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator!
Xie Yujia stepped on the white Ruyi Cloth and went into her cave to get the array blueprint.
Then, she gave it to the five cultivators by the spiritual field.
Zhen Congming had left this array formation blueprint here. It was the array formation that was needed to initiate the process for growing the Seven-Core Five-Color Lotus. Zhen Congming had been a bit lazy and didn’t want to spend much effort when he helped Hao Ren rebuild the grand array formation around Ethereal summit. That was why he left a blueprint and told Hao Ren to find Nascent Soul Realm cultivators to create it.
If Hao Ren couldn’t find any Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, then Zhen Congming would help out unwillingly.
Hao Ren did not want to beg Zhen Congming. Also, these five Soul Formation Realm cultivators were probably stronger than Zhen Congming and would do a better job. That was why he got them to do it.
When the five Soul Formation Realm cultivators got the blueprint of the array formation, they gathered in a circle and started analyzing it.
Hao Ren had told them to do something, and they didn’t dare to delay the task for even a second. They wanted to build a better relationship with Hao Ren. If possible, they might even get to see Zhen Yuan Immortal in the future. The array formation was a lot more complicated than they expected. However, since the five Soul Formation Realm cultivators analyzing it together, they were able to figure it out rather quickly.
They cupped their hands and bowed at Hao Ren before each taking one of the five locations in the array. Then, each of them shot out a dash of godly light.
One of the requirements to initiate the array formation was to have at least four Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, but Hao Ren had brought five Soul Formation Realm cultivators. It meant that the array formation’s power would increase by multiples.
This increased the success rate of cultivating the Seven Core Colourful Lotus to 100%.
Boom! From the center of Ethereal Summit, five colorful godly lights rose up to the sky, passing through the top of Ethereal Summit’s array formation, and onto Sixth Heaven.
Since it was helping out Zhen Yuan Immortal’s brother, these five Soul Formation Realm cultivators didn’t dare to hold back. They had created a bad impression in Hao Ren’s mind, so they only had this opportunity to redeem themselves.
They did not hope that Hao Ren would give them anything. All they wanted was for Hao Ren not to complain about them to Zhen Yuan Zi.
Hao Ren didn’t intend to give them anything. He even put away that level 10 demonic cores. What they were doing now was essentially free labor; it was a mini-punishment for they tried to do.
The golden shield was still in a corner by itself. When it felt the nature essence in Ethereal Summit, it suddenly flew up and covered the sky to block the godly lights.
If a cultivator had touched the godly lights that had already reached the sky, they would immediately die. However, the golden shield was already a supreme spiritual treasure, so this enormous source of nature essence was very nourishing for it.
Most of the godly light converted into nature essence and injected into the spiritual field with the help of the array formation.
The nature essence intensity of the spiritual field was dense, and it continued to increase by multiples. Almost all the nature essence on Fifth Heaven came running toward Ethereal Summit.
When those Nascent Soul Realm cultivators gathered around Ethereal Summit, they saw the five Soul Formation Realm cultivators casting their techniques and didn’t even dare to breathe. The nature essence on Fifth Heaven was being vacuumed by the Soul Formation Realm cultivators, but the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators didn’t dare to utter a word of complaint!
Whoosh! The golden shield continued to absorb the nature essence, and it seemed like it reached a tipping point. Suddenly, the shield spat out all sorts of black matter.
Hao Ren looked attentively and realized that these black matters were the burned spiritual herbs that the golden shield collected from the top of the Origin Dragon Grand Palace.
The burned ashes of the spiritual herbs fell onto the spiritual fields in Ethereal Summit, piling up to a mountain that was over two meters tall!
One couldn’t find better fertilizers anywhere in the world!
