Chapter 731 - Level 10... Demonic Core!
Panda Novel
“How could this be?!”
This Soul Formation Realm cultivator of Mystic Sound Faction could only feel a strong aura pressing onto her chest, and the jade pendant that she was wearing on her chest shattered as her body fell onto the spiritual field like a broken kite.
She did not expect her opponents to be two Soul Formation Realm cultivators!
When normal cultivators used the same techniques and complemented each other, the strength of the technique would increase by multiples. The power that the Lu sisters unleashed was insane!
The four Nascent Soul Realm cultivators of Mystic Sound Faction were so lost that their minds were blank. They couldn’t process what happened as the Soul Formation Realm cultivator of Mystic Sound Faction was suppressed by two outside Soul Formation Realm cultivators!
Hao Ren didn’t expect Lu Linlin and Lu Lili to transcend into the Soul Formation Realm suddenly. He had thought that they had only cultivated to Qian-level.
Lu Linlin and Lu Lili bit their lips as they looked back at Hao Ren.
Ever since they were let go by the East Ocean Dragon Clan, they had been able to charge at the Soul Formation Realm several times during cultivation. However, since they wanted to stay by Hao Ren’s side, they suppressed their realms intentionally.
Hao Ren now had the Immortal Physique. They had done what they could, and they only maintained a lower realm to maintain a lower profile.
However, on Seventh Heaven where nature essence was intense, they advanced into the Soul Formation Realm to defend themselves and Hao Ren.
However, once they reached the Soul Formation Realm, they couldn’t go back to Qian-level anymore.
Whoosh… Four arrays of light suddenly appeared. In the blink of an eye, they were already close to the spiritual field.
The Bull Head Mountain of Mystic Sound Faction had experienced a dramatic change which alarmed four more Soul Formation Realm cultivators from various factions.
Boom! The four Soul Formation Realm cultivators attacked together.
The supreme spiritual treasure appearing on Sixth Heaven and the Nine Dragon Palace appearing on Fifth Heaven were already enough to trigger the Soul Formation Realm cultivators who were resting on Seventh Heaven.
When they saw two unknown cultivators attacking a Soul Formation Realm cultivator of Mystic Sound Faction, these four Soul Formation Realm cultivators did not hesitate to attack the Lu sisters!
They had heard rumors that the Kunlun Godly Lamp at the Kunlun Mountain was stolen by a Heavenly Demon recently, and that Heavenly Demon had been to Fifth Heaven.
When they connected that with the sudden appearance of the Nine Dragon Palace, it was only right for them to stay alert at all times.
They had never seen these twin Soul Formation Realm cultivators, and these two had defeated the Soul Formation Realm cultivator of Mystic Sound Faction. This might be the signal of a drastic change on Seventh Heaven!
There was no way that these Soul Formation Realm cultivators of Seventh Heaven would just sit back and do nothing while things changed!
Suddenly, four treasures attacked Lu Linlin and Lu Lili from four directions.
The Lu sisters raised their arms and bit their teeth, releasing black and white dharma notes from the Yin-Yang Bracelets.
Many godly melodies sounded from the bracelets, and the bracelets suddenly captured the four treasures.
The Yin-Yang Bracelets were treasures of the Heavenly Realm, and they were equivalent to the golden shield that had passed a Heavenly Tribulation. The only thing was that they didn’t have their spiritual properties yet.
Lu Linlin and Lu Lili used their powers and could withstand the attacks of the four Soul Formation Realm cultivators.
The four looked at each other awkwardly. They had rushed over, but their treasures were all taken by the enemies on their first attack.
Lu Linlin and Lu Lili’s faces were bright red, and they were breathing heavily. It was very tiring to directly take control of four Soul Formation Realm cultivators’ treasures.
“Seniors!”
Hao Ren shouted when he saw that they had stopped their attacks briefly.
From the look of this, continuing fighting wouldn’t benefit either side.
Little White ran with all four legs toward Hao Ren. Then, it shrunk into a little squirrel and climbed up onto his shoulder.
Hao Ren saw that there was a burned mark on its belly and felt bad for it. However, he still suppressed his anger and said calmly, “I am a low-level cultivator from Fifth Heaven. We desperately need a few 10,000-year-old Black Herbs for an emergency. That was why we came to Mystic Sound Faction. We only did this because we had no other choice. However, we didn’t want to take them without compensation.
When Hao Ren finished his words, the four Soul Formation Realm cultivators stopped their attacks temporarily. Also, their treasures were kept by the Lu sisters’ bracelets right now. Even if they were to fight, they might not be able to win.
When one reached the Soul Formation Realm, as long as they didn’t get severely wounded in battle, their lifespans would not be affected. That was why these Soul Formation Realm cultivators tried not to fight with cultivators of the same realm unless forced to.
They were able to understand Hao Ren. If the latter had gone through normal channels, he would have had to go through much more.
Trespassing Seventh Heaven was an offense in itself, so getting spiritual herbs from Mystic Sound Faction was impossible.
“Hmph! You put it like it’s nothing! The 10,000-year-old Black Herbs are valuable treasures of Mystic Sound Faction, and you dug them all out at once. Now, you’re making excuses for it!”
The Soul Formation Realm cultivator of Mystic Sound Faction flew up from the spiritual field, and she looked incredibly furious.
Ever since she reached the Soul Formation Realm, she was respected in Mystic Sound Faction. Never had she been mistreated! To make things worse, there were disciples of Mystic Sound Faction watching!
Hao Ren lightly shook his head. These factions on Seventh Heaven were so arrogant and overbearing just because they had these Soul Formation Realm cultivators.
If the factions on Seventh Heaven were reasonable and easy to get along with, then he would not have to come and steal. Since he was weaker, he couldn’t even get the opportunity to negotiate!
Hao Ren remembered that he was now the blood brother of Zhen Yuan Zi. Therefore, he was on the same level as these Soul Formation Realm cultivators, so he didn’t want to make a scene.
If these Soul Formation Realm cultivators had half of Zhen Yuan Zi’s temperament, then these Seventh Heaven factions would also pay attention to cultivators below them. Then, Hao Ren would not have to steal, and it would not have led to them fighting.
Seventh Heaven was a closed-off cultivation world, much similar to the ancient royal palaces.
Of course, in the Soul Formation Realm cultivators’ eyes, there wasn’t anything that Hao Ren owned equivalent in value to the six 10,000-year-old Black Herbs… unless they were the two bracelets.
“I’ll exchange this for the 10,000-year-old Black Herbs. This should be enough, right?” Hao Ren asked as he pulled the level 10 demonic core from his necklace.
This level 10 demonic core had a soft dim red glow to it. It was like a perfect crystal, but better as it released close to an infinite amount of nature essence.
The few Soul Formation Realm cultivators all focused their eyes on the level 10 demonic core.
Level 10 demonic core!
They wouldn’t be able to find another one even if they searched all Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh Heaven!
Seventh Heaven had an abundance nature essence, and demon beasts were living there. However, the best demonic core came from a level 7 demon beast.
That level 7 demonic core had triggered a huge fight between the factions on Seventh Heaven. In the end, the few Soul Formation Realm cultivators held an auction for it. It was sold to Sky Inspection Faction which had bought it with an insane amount of spirit stones and cultivation materials. The seller, Cultivation Destiny Faction, had gained a lot from it and became the second largest faction on Seventh Heaven.
When Hao Ren took out the level 10 demonic core, the Soul Formation Realm cultivator of Mystic Sound Faction regretted her actions.
She had attacked them out of anger and did not leave any room for the opponents to explain themselves. Not only did she lose the battle, but she had also attracted four Soul Formation Realm cultivators from other factions.
If she didn’t brashly attack but instead negotiated, she could have exchanged a few 10,000-year-old Black Herbs for a level 10 demonic core. She could have taken it back secretly and cultivated with it.
Mystic Sound Faction was the weakest of the seven factions on Seventh Heaven. Only because of the existence of Soul Formation Realm cultivators did Mystic Sound Faction escape the destiny of downgrading to Sixth Heaven. However, if she had the level 10 demonic core, the situation would be very different!
This female Soul Formation Realm cultivator wanted to slap herself in the face!
As expected, all other four Soul Formation Realm cultivators wanted it.
They came over because there was commotion at Mystic Sound Sect. If they didn’t come, then Mystic Sound Faction would get a rare level 10 demonic core!
Whoever saw the treasure could claim a share. Since they helped Mystic Sound Faction, they would get a piece of the level 10 demonic core.
The female Soul Formation Realm cultivator of Mystic Sound Faction was mad and full of regret. She could only scold herself, but her eyes were already red.
“You’re just lying. You were going to take the 10,000-year-old Black Herbs and escape!”
She was full of anger, and she could only use words to save her reputation.
However, the other four Soul Formation Realm cultivators did not care about who was wrong or right. What they really cared about now was the level 10 demonic core that Hao Ren was holding.
Hao Ren sighed because he felt like these people were impossible to communicate with. He had only decided to steal the herbs because he wanted to skip the troubling parts. He acted like Zhen Congming, but their thought processes were very different.
He did prepare to steal the Black Herbs but had decided to leave the level 10 demonic core. He thought that he wasn’t enemies with Mystic Sound Faction, and he didn’t just want to take things from them without paying them back. He even had thought of how Mystic Sound Faction wouldn’t tell other people about the level 10 demonic core so that they couldn’t do any further investigations.
This level 10 demonic core was indeed something precious. When Hao Ren took demonic cores from the Demon Sea, he just took a few level 10 demonic cores and didn’t take any level 7 or 8 demonic cores because he didn’t have such a long-term perspective at the time.
Since there weren’t any low-level demonic cores, he had to offer a level 10 one.
Just like how the dragon cultivators didn’t care about top-tier spirit stones but the cultivation sects did, the demonic cores weren’t something precious in the Demon Sea since supreme spiritual treasures were more important to demon kings, but level 10 demonic cores were more valuable than a Supreme spiritual treasures in the human cultivators’ eyes.
This Soul Formation Realm cultivator of Mystic Sound Faction had lost a supreme spiritual treasure. However, when she saw the level 10 demonic core, she immediately thought about how it was ok to have lost the treasure.
The dragon cultivators, human cultivators, and demon cultivators all lived amongst themselves and did not communicate with other groups, so they valued different things.
Dragon cultivators and human cultivators couldn’t get into the Demon Sea and couldn’t kill level 10 demon beasts. Also, human cultivators wouldn’t go deep into the territories of the dragon cultivators to dig out spirit stones, and demon cultivators couldn’t make dharma treasures, nor could they get out of the Demon Sea.
To some degree, Lady Zhen was very incredible. She could create her own dharma treasures and knew a lot about array formations since she learned from her father, Qiu Niu.
“Using a level 10 demonic core in exchange for Black Herbs means that you don’t just have one of them,” a Soul Formation Realm cultivator in red suddenly said to Hao Ren as he stared at him.
