Chapter 369 - Progress Instead of Backslide
Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated
Lu Linlin, who got caught by surprise, pushed on the bed and sat up in a hurry.
The moment she sat up, her tongue accidentally touched Hao Ren’s teeth. This made her have butterflies in her stomach, and she didn’t know where to put her hands.
Hao Ren looked at Lu Linlin and Lu Lili and couldn’t tell who was who since his vision was blurry.
The blushing Lu Linlin almost made him believe that it was Lu Lili.
“Gongzi…” Lu Lili, who stood on the side, called out in a light voice.
Her voice gave Fei a hint, and he was sure that the one in the front of him was Lu Linlin and the one beside him was Lu Lili.
They were both wearing light yellow long blouses made with a soft material and a gray belt, which were simple yet classy.
“Where am I?” Hao Ren asked as his head was still dizzy
Lu Linlin blushed again, fixed her clothes, and answered, “We are on Fifth Heaven.”
Hao Ren nodded slightly.
Licking his lips, he felt a sweet and smooth taste on his tongue.
This little subconscious action made Lu Linlin and Lu Lili extremely nervous. They felt like the most important acupoints on their bodies were suddenly struck by someone.
In fact, Hao Ren immediately guessed what happened when he saw their expressions. However, to avoid further awkwardness, he didn’t ask any more question. Instead, he instantly circulated the nature essence according to the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll to check the condition of his body.
Several hundred acupoints and dozens of meridians were unimpeded, and there were some slight changes to the dragon core.
The thin sword energies re-entered the dragon core to check the condition of the openings.
One hundred and twenty openings!
There were just enough openings for him to reach Gen-level!
Hao Ren, who just reached Gen-level, rechecked his body in a hurry. He realized that not only did the dragon core not receive any damage, but more openings appeared, making his dragon core contain 120 openings!
He distinctly remembered that the elders from West Ocean were about to damage the white Ford, and he used the hundun lightning inside his meridians to evoke the potential of the dragon core in a hurry and created many openings by damaging the dragon core. His realm reached Dui-level, and he was able to transform into a dragon and fight with the 16 Dui-level elders from the West Ocean Dragon Clan.
According to norms, this reckless approach should definitely cause irreversible harm to the dragon core…
“Where are my dad and mom?” Hao Ren supported himself up before asking them.
“Gongzi’s parents are safe,” Lu Linlin and Lu Lili replied.
Hao Ren nodded and asked, “What happened afterward?”
“After the tough fight, Gongzi fainted. My sister and I rescued Gongzi and brought you to Fifth Heaven,” Lu Linlin said.
Her face was back to normal, and she took half a step back and stood beside Lu Lili.
“Hmm, I had a dream. My consciousness was scattered into the sword energies, and my sword energies flew in between two godly lotuses. Then, I transformed into a dragon again, and I swallowed a golden core,” Hao Ren said.
“Gongzi is very fortunate. Your cultivation progress didn’t fall back but increased instead. Such great news,” Lu Linlin’s eyes curved as she smiled happily and said.
Hao Ren glanced at her powerlessly and said, “Stop flattering me. You guys didn’t lose anything, did you?”
“Gongzi, both my sister’s and my cultivation progress also didn’t fall back but increased as well,” Lu Linlin said in a joyful tone.
Seeing that Hao Ren didn’t ask about what just happened, Lu Linlin’s shyness went away, and she became lively again.
Hao Ren thought, “Was that the so-called Dual Cultivation?”
However, he immediately buried that thought when it came to his mind.
He thought of the feeling when he transformed into a dragon; that sensation of power was far beyond what he had now.
Some sort of hundun essence was injected into his dragon core.
Hao Ren thought about transforming into a dragon, and he suddenly felt like he could turn into a dragon and fly in the sky in he wanted.
“Gongzi, as long as you have successfully transformed into a dragon once and obtained the feeling, you can do it again in the future.” Seeing Hao Ren thinking about something, Lu Lili blushed as she took half a step forward and said.
She was debating whether if she should tell Hao Ren that she also tried to do a CPR on him. She didn’t want to take credit for her sister’s work, but she also didn’t want Hao Ren to think about Lu Linlin from now on and neglect her.
Twisting her hands together, Lu Lili stood in front of Hao Ren and didn’t know what to say.
“Gongzi, Lili also tried her best to save you when you were unconscious,” Lu Linlin said.
“Sis!” Lu Linlin told Hao Ren what Lu Lili was thinking about, and the latter was instantly embarrassed and blushed.
“Um!” Hao Ren looked at Lu Lili happily and then looked at Lu Linlin.
“It’s all good as long as you guys are fine,” he said.
This simple phrase suddenly touched the Lu sisters.
“Even though Gongzi is usually around the Big Zhumu and the Little Zhumu, he still has us on his mind!”
If they didn’t know Hao Ren’s personality well, they would have thrown themselves into Hao Ren’s arms at this moment!
“Gongzi just woke up, and your body is still weak. I’ll go grab some supplements for you.” Lu Linlin pushed open the door, walked toward the direction of the grand palace, and shout with nature essence empowering her voice, “Whoever is in charge here, send me the best elixir quickly!”
The shout of a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator resonated in the entire White Sand Sect.
Sect Master Wang didn’t dare to neglect this command. He went into the Elixir Making Building at his fastest speed and delivered three level 4 elixir pill to Lu Linlin.
“These are all you have?” Lu Linlin looked down at Sect Master Wang.
“These… are the best elixirs that we have,” Sect Master Wang’s legs were trembling as he replied.
“Humph, you can go now,” Lu Linlin looked at him in dissatisfaction and knew that the sects on Fifth Heaven actually wouldn’t be able to have good elixir pills. She turned around and headed back into the room.
“Gongzi, I only obtained three elixir pills. Hurry up and take these.” Lu Linlin handed the elixir pills to Hao Ren.
Hao Ren shook his head as he smiled and put the three elixir pills in the box into his mouth.
Level 4 elixir pills were considered superior elixirs. The effects of these three elixir pills were more than enough to make up the nature essence that Hao Ren lost.
Lu Linlin and Lu Lili brought Hao Ren to Fifth Heaven to heal. First of all, the essence intensity here was high, making it a good place for recovery. Second of all, they could ask the sects to run errands for them and didn’t need to spend time on the necessities.
Hao Ren’s dragon core warmed up, but the cost to the White Sand Sect made Sect Master Wang want to hit his head against the wall.
The three level 4 elixir pills were the rewards saved up by the White Sand Sect for servicing Sixth Heaven’s Sky Mountain Sect for three hundred years.
Yet, Hao Ren squandered White Sand Sect’s three hundred years of savings in the blink of an eye!
The nature essence required by Gen-level was filled, and Hao Ren released his sword energies, which grouped themselves into three buckets.
They dashed out of the room by piercing through the cracks of the house, and the power of every single sword energy was twice as strong compared to before!
The Three Talent Heaven Earth Array Formation!
Three hundred and twenty sword energies illuminated the sky!
“Let’s go!” Hao Ren didn’t want to stay there any longer and wanted to check out the situation below First Heaven. He went through the gap in the roof and flew away.
Lu Linlin and Lu Lili followed right after Hao Ren and flew beside each other.
Sect Master Wang, who waited beside the back mountain, finally saw the dragon cultivator’s appearance.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
Sect Master Wang suddenly took five to six steps back.
“This… this cultivator… Isn’t him the one who led a young female cultivator and made a mess in the sect? Nascent Soul Realm cultivators are only his maids… What is his… identity?”
Hao Ren soared into the sky and realized that he was in the White Sand Sect, a place he ‘visited’ before. He instantly took back his original thoughts of dropping a few top-tier spirit stones as compensations.
Three hundred and twenty sword energies encircled them three, following them and leaving promptly. The cultivators in the Nascent Soul Realm probably couldn’t even do this.
A monk could run but the temple couldn’t! 1
At this moment, Sect Master Wang deeply regretted provoking this mysterious young cultivator!
“Judging from the spirit lotus that came out of his body and the godly light that came down from higher heavens, this young-looking cultivator might be a legendary Soul Formation Realm cultivator! Since he is a dragon, he must be at Heavenly Dragon Realm!” he thought.
…
Hao Ren and the Lu sisters broke through the array formation between Fifth Heaven and Fourth Heaven and quickly returned to First Heaven through the clouds.
This Hao Ren wasn’t the same Hao Ren from a few hours ago!
His every move could unleash a sword array formation that was comparable to the power of a low-tier Nascent Soul Realm cultivator!
Hao Ren’s dragon core got shattered and restructured, and his strength underwent a drastic change as well.
That red Ferrari was still parked on the side of the street.
When Hao Ren went looking for Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang in a hurry, he left the keys in the car.
Hao Ren rushed into the car like a shooting star, and Lu Linlin and Lu Lili also followed him inside the vehicle.
“My clothes… did you guys change it for me?” Hao Ren just realized that he had been wearing a gorgeous robe and asked the Lu sisters.
“Um…” Lu Linlin and Lu Lili nodded at the same time. Redness appeared on their faces and made them look like flowers that were quietly blooming in the middle of the night.
Hao Ren remembered that there was another set of spare clothes in the car, so he took them out and went into the woods by the side of the road to change.
“Gongzi won’t blame us, right?”
“Nope.”
“Will Gongzi be angry?”
“Probably not…”
Lu Lili and Lu Linlin whispered and discussed when Hao Ren was changing. It was their first time changing Hao Ren’s clothes for him, and they couldn’t tell if it was appropriate.
If Hao Ren didn’t mind, they were willing to bathe and change his clothes for him…
“However, it seems like Gongzi isn’t quite used to it…” they thought.
Hao Ren, who changed back to regular clothes, returned to the car, started the vehicle, and drove back toward the house by the ocean.
Xie Yujia and Zhao Yanzi must be extremely worried when they lost contact with him. Nonetheless, Hao Ren still had to think about Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang. He couldn’t fly back and could only drive back as soon as possible.
The rainstorm stopped, but Hao Ren didn’t know how the battle between East Ocean and West Ocean went. The Ferrari left waves of water on the highway and brought Hao Ren and Lu sister back to the house.
It was bright in the house.
Hao Ren drove the Ferrari into the garage and was relieved when he saw the white Ford there.
Hearing noises made by the engine of the Ferrari coming from the garage, Xie Yujia and Zhao Yanzi rushed to the door immediately.
Seeing that Hao Ren was safe with Lu Linlin and Lu Lili, Xie Yujia and Zhao Yanzi put their palms on their chests at the same time and sighed out of relief.
They rode Little White for an hour in the sky and couldn’t find a trace of Hao Ren. They panicked when he didn’t pick up his cell phone either.
Hao Zhonghua’s white Ford was sent back to the house under the escort of the rescue team, and the two girls didn’t want to cause any more worries and could only return home and wait for Hao Ren there.
Seeing Hao Ren’s safe return, the sense of trust Zhao Yanzi built with Xie Yujia during the emergency immediately collapsed.
Zhao Yanzi stood at the door, rolled her eyes coldly at Xie Yujia, and glared viciously at Hao Ren. “Dumb dumb! How come it took you so long to come back!”
