Chapter 598: Nascent Soul Realm Master!!
Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated
Zhen Congming had set up the array formation very delicately. In order for them to be able to cultivate without external disturbance, he isolated all external sounds. However, if the vibration were strong enough, the people inside the valley would be able to hear it. That was how Xie Yujia heard the loud noise made by Duan Yao’s Sky-Turning Stamp
This loud shout showed power and was able to penetrate directly into the array formation. It was obviously not the shout of a Core Formation Realm cultivator.
Hao Ren and the others could hear it clearly in the valley. They were able to imagine how deafening it was for the cultivators outside.
“What should we do?” Zhao Yanzi and Xie Yujia looked at Hao Ren in panic.
They imagined their opponents to be Core Formation Realm cultivators and not Nascent Soul Realm cultivators.
Hao Ren had expected that defeating the Sky Mountain Sect cultivators would lead to a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator coming after them. However, he did not expect it to be this quick.
From the development of Ethereal Summit, they had not faced a single Nascent Soul Realm cultivator. So far, it had been very calm and prosperous.
Those Core Formation Realm cultivators didn’t dare to go against Ethereal Summit, let alone attacking Ethereal Summit. The level 4 elixir pills from Ethereal Summit were the best pills they had ever seen. Stuff like foundation establishment pills, beauty pills, and essence replenishment pills was in high demand.
“Hahaha! I’ve come all the way to meet you after my seclusion cultivation!” The voice outside sounded again.
The array formation that could withstand Core Formation Realm cultivators shook slightly.
Duan Yao who was sitting in the cave looked slightly shocked; this voice wasn’t the voice of her grand uncle-master nor was it the voice of the Sky Mountain Sect elders she knew.
In fact, this Nascent Soul Realm cultivator was the Hongyuan Master who left but came back. He didn’t leave; he only watched from afar.
He saw that the 60 Core Formation Realm cultivators of Sky Mountain Sect weren’t able to take control of Ethereal Summit. Moreover, they had gone into the array formation but ended up getting beat and barely escaping with their lives. This scene delighted Hongyuan Master.
He thought for a long time and concluded that this Herb King Master was very strong. He felt that this was an excellent opportunity to meet the Herb King Master to take advantage of the timing.
If he could resolve the conflict between the Herb King Master and Sky Mountain Sect, then Sky Mountain Sect would owe him this one even if they weren’t willing to admit it.
Even if the Herb King Master weren’t in the valley, he could still save the Herb King Master’s disciples from the disciples of Sky Mountain Sect. By saving the few close disciples of the Herb King Master, he may receive elixir pills from Herb King Master and might even become good friends.
There weren’t that many Nascent Soul Realm cultivators on Fifth Heaven in the first place, and he had also heard that the Herb King Master was at top-tier Nascent Soul Realm. After calculation, he felt like there was nothing bad for him.
When this Hongyuan Master was young, he didn’t have great potential. He had cultivated to peak Qi Refinement Realm with difficulty and stole a foundation establishment pill from a Senior Brother, reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm.
Usually, stealing a foundation establishment pill was a severe crime, but he had successfully entered the Foundation Establishment Realm. At that time, the Fire Sun Sect needed people, so they didn’t punish him.
Hongyuan Master was indeed lucky. Just when he was about to use up the 200 years of his life, he picked up the storage bags of two Core Formation Realm cultivators who fought each other to death. In the bags were rare elixir pills, and he was able to charge at the Core Formation Realm and became Fire Sun Sect’s elder.
Some of his senior brothers and junior brothers who looked down on him had died, and others became of lower ranks than him. Therefore, no one dared to mention his disgraceful past.
Just when everyone thought that Core Formation Realm was the highest realm he could reach, Hongyuan Master found a rare immortal fruit luckily when he was out traveling in a remote valley. When he went back to his sect, he immediately declared seclusion cultivation. And when he came out, he had reached low-tier Nascent Soul Realm!
That was how this Hongyuan Master became one of the few Nascent Soul Realm cultivators on Fifth Heaven and how his Fire Sun Sect became one of the biggest sects here.
All the Core Formation Realm cultivators on Fifth Heaven treated him with respect when they saw him. How many of those who respected him knew the story of his past where he stole one of his senior brothers’ elixir pill to advance.
That senior brother of him was favored by the sect, and that was how he got the foundation establishment pill. He didn’t even end up reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm and died after about 100 years. Other than Hongyuan Master himself, no one else in his sect remembered that man.
Just because Hongyuan Master had such experience, he knew how important elixir pills and spiritual herbs were to cultivators!
“Hehehe… Senior, you are not responding. Are you looking down on me?” Hongyuan Master continued to shout outside.
Those who were able to cultivate to Nascent Soul Realm were all very decisive!
Although this Hongyuan Master appeared to be very polite, he was secretly calculating for himself. Since there was this conflict between Sky Mountain Sect and Ethereal Summit, he could kill all the disciple of the Herb King Master if the latter wasn’t here. He could rob all the precious elixir pills in the valley and blame it on Sky Mountain Sect.
It had already been 200 years since he had first reached the Nascent Soul Realm, but he had not improved his realm any bit ever since. He had gone into seclusion cultivation for 50 years, but his realm still did not improve. He was in a bad mood now but heard of this mysterious Herb King Master on Fifth Heaven. He had also heard that Sky Mountain Sect was looking everywhere for a sect called City Sect, and the Sky Mountain Sect cultivators had even gone into his Fire Sun Sect to search overbearingly.
Although the Fifth Heaven sects weren’t as powerful as those Sixth Heaven sects, Fire Sun Sect still had him, a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator. His sect was one of the strongest sects on Fifth Heaven.
When Hongyuan Master knew that tens of Core Formation Realm cultivators came searching in his sect, he was not very happy. However, when he found out that the Grand Uncle-Master of Sky Mountain Sect was about to finish his seclusion cultivation, he could only suppress his anger.
In the cultivation world, strength was king. If he couldn’t win a fight, then he had no right to complain!
“Hehe! Unless Senior is not in the valley!”
When Hongyuan Master heard no response, he used more energy and continued to yell into the valley.
The Sky Mountain Sect cultivators around Ethereal Summit tried to hold still.
Although this Hongyuan Master was only at low-tier Nascent Soul Realm, the Core Formation Realm cultivators were still not strong enough to handle his energy. Those Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators who were further away hurried to get into groups and create array formations to fend against Hongyuan Master’s voice.
Those disciples of the three small sects around Ethereal Summit were in trouble. The Qi Refinement Realm cultivators all spat out blood, and the Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators heard buzzes in their ears.
If it weren’t for the protection of the enlarged energy sphere, half of them would have been killed by Hongyuan Master’s shouts.
“If Senior still does not respond, then don’t blame me for offending you! This young girl of Sky Mountain Sect is the daughter of an acquaintance. I’m only helping because I’m morally obligated to do so!” Hongyuan Master shouted again.
He had already confirmed that there was probably no Nascent Soul Realm cultivator inside the valley. If there were, then this person would be coming out or at least responding to his provoking shouts.
Even Mo Lianshan and the other Core Formation Realm cultivators of Sky Mountain Sect paid close attention to what Hongyuan Master was doing.
They couldn’t break through the array formation, so Duan Yao was still trapped inside. Duan Yao was Sky Mountain Sect Master’s only daughter, and she had the potential of reaching the Nascent Soul Realm.
If she were harmed in any way, they would not be able to bear the responsibility.
Their grand uncle-master did not say anything, meaning that he was giving consent to this Hongyuan Master. With this Nascent Soul Realm cultivator helping them break in, they could save Duan Yao earlier. At most, they would give everything in the valley to Hongyuan Master.
Both sides knew each other’s intent clearly. One side didn’t dare to take too much advantage of Sky Mountain Sect, and the other side wanted this Nascent Soul Realm cultivator to break through the array formation.
Of course, Hongyuan Master kept a path open for himself. He and Sky Mountain Sect didn’t have many connections, but he used the excuse of saving the daughter of an acquaintance so that it didn’t have to seem like he was intentionally going against the Herb King Master.
Inside the valley, Xie Yujia and Zhao Yanzi both looked at Hao Ren, waiting for him to decide.
The appearance of a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator made the situation much worse.
If Hao Ren were to take off the Five-Mountain Bracelets, he would be able to reach peak Qian-level, but this would do harm to his body and wouldn’t last long.
He had initially planned to wait until Xie Yujia and Zhao Yanzi recovered and then use the strength of peak Qian-level to directly fight off the Nascent Soul Realm cultivator of Sky Mountain Sect.
However, the early appearance of a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator messed up his original plan. If he were to use the strength of peak Qian-level now, they would be doomed when Sky Mountain Sect’s grand uncle-master came.
The path of cultivation was very treacherous. One wrong step would lead to death.
“I’ll go out and take a look!” Hao Ren turned around and went into the cave to gather a few things.
Bang! This was also the time when Hongyuan Master suddenly started attacking!
The array formation around the valley took a lot of damage, and the outer energy sphere immediately shattered!
Due to the imbalance between nature essence intensities inside and outside the energy sphere, the rocks and trees were sent flying in all directions!
Those cultivators in the small sect were all sent flying!
There was still one more layer of energy sphere protecting Hao Ren and the others inside the valley, but they almost couldn’t stand still!
With the power of Nascent Soul Realm, shaking mountains was easily
Of course, those Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators of Sky Mountain Sect also didn’t feel good. Their eardrums were almost shattered, and they were sent flying as well.
Even Mo Lianshan and the other Core Formation Realm cultivators felt their chests aching and almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
Hongyuan Master’s sudden move was also a little revenge on these Sky Mountain Sect cultivators. He couldn’t go against Sky Mountain Sect, but he was still secretly holding a grudge since they charged in and searched his sect.
“Junior, you are still not coming out!”
Hongyuan Master confirmed that there were no Nascent Soul Realm cultivators in the valley, so he had toughened his tone.
He raised his hand and slapped the valley again.
This array formation could withstand Core Formation Realm cultivators, but it was still too weak for a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator! The difference between a Core Formation Realm cultivator and a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator wasn’t only a little bit!
This second slap was going to break the inner energy sphere as well!
Whoosh! Four colorful beams of lights flew out of the valley.
