Chapter 336: Am I a Senior?!

Hao Ren and Little White rushed out of the ocean and flew directly to Fifth Heaven. He told Zhao Jiayi and his other two roommates that he had things to do at home recently and had to go home every day. Since they were now used to him not living in the dorm, they didn't ask him too many questions.

In order to elevate to Gen-level and even charge at Dui-level as soon as possible, he had to spend most of his time in Fifth Heaven.

Little White shot toward the valley and drew out a line of white light.

Meanwhile, the three sect masters who had been waiting for him for a whole day all flew into the air at his appearance.

However, before they could get close, Hao Ren already rushed into the array formation in the valley.

After all, Little White was too fast for them.

Stopping at the entrance of the valley, they exchanged a look, wondering if this 'senior' didn't want to talk to them or didn't notice them at all.

"How about... sending a voice-transmission note into the valley?" Sect Master Liu of the Qin Yin Sect asked Sect Master Han carefully.

"His speed is the traveling speed of a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, right?" Sect Master Han asked them hesitantly.

In Fifth Heaven, the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators were at the top of the pyramid. Even though these three sect masters had never seen one, they were sure that the speed they just witnessed didn't belong to a Core Formation Realm cultivator.

The three sect masters were all top-tier Core Formation Realm cultivators, and none of them could reach such a fast traveling speed.

"This senior seemed to be traveling on a mount instead of on a flying sword," Sect Master Song from the Qiong Hua Sect said after a moment of hesitation.

"Are you sure?" Sect Master Han asked immediately.

The three sects had been rivals over the ownership of the Herb King Valley, but now they were allies, depending on each other.

"I was the closest to the senior and thus had the clearest view. His mount is a white lion," Sect Master Song nodded gravely and said.

"White lion..." Sect Master Han thought for a moment and said, "Is it possible that he is a cultivator from the Sky Mountain Sect on Sixth Heaven?"

"I'm not sure if he's a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator. But if Sect Master Song is right about the mount, the snow lion should be a spirit beast above level 4, right?" Sect Master Liu looked at the other two sect masters and asked cautiously.

Sect Master Han and Sect Master Song exchanged a look; neither of them could answer the question. All they knew was that the Sky Mountain Sect from Sixth Heaven raised a lot of snow lions, and some high-level disciples had them as their mounts. As to what level this spirit beast was on, they had no clue. After all, the sects on Fifth Heaven had rarely seen spirit beasts.

However, they were sure that a spirit beast with such a great speed couldn't be at low level 1. Since the power of a level 1 spirit beast was equivalent to that of a Core Formation Realm cultivator, they estimated that this snow lion should be close to level 4.

"Anyway, with such a spirit beast as his mount, the senior must have a high ranking in his sect," Sect Master Song said.

Since snow lions were the symbolic spirit beasts of the Sky Mountain Sect, they all considered Hao Ren as one of the elite disciples of the Sky Mountain Sect. It must be noted that the small sects on Fifth Heaven all looked up at the sects on Sixth Heaven with respect, especially the Sky Mountain Sect which stood out from other sects on Sixth Heaven since it had connections with some sects on Seventh Heaven due to their skills in raising spirit beasts and growing herbs.

There were less than 20 sects on Sixth Heaven, and Sky Mountain Sect was one of the few that were well-known from on Fifth Heaven and Seventh Heaven.

At this thought, the three masters began to look hopeful.

"It is one thing if this 'senior' is only a hermit cultivator. However, he is obviously a high-ranking disciple of the Sky Mountain Sect, coming to Fifth Heaven to do business by himself. If we could befriend him..." they thought.

"I think we'd better pay a visit to this senior. After all, while he is temporarily living in our Herb King Valley, we must show him our hospitality as the local hosts," Sect Master Liu of the Qin Yin Sect said as she pulled a streak of hair behind her ear

Compared with their determination to take back the Herb King Valley by force yesterday, their attitude had now taken a 180-degree turn.

"Sect Master Liu is right. I think we'd better return to our respective sects and prepare some gifts before paying a visit to this senior," Sect Master Han agreed immediately.

After some consideration, Sect Master Song thought that the returning of dozens of flying swords was now a minor issue. If this senior disciple of the Sky Mountain Sect agreed to take his Qiong Hua Sect as a resting place on Fifth Heaven in the future, it would bring great benefits to his sect.

After their discussion, the three sect masters flew in three directions. They each had their own thoughts, but they were afraid to act alone. By working together, they could face any potential problems together.

Hao Ren didn't know that there were three sects on three sides of the valley, nor did he know that the cave abode he built casually gave three sect masters two consecutive sleepless nights. He walked into his cave abode cheerfully and checked to make sure that no one had intruded into the cave before settling down to cultivate.

Thanks to the array formation Zhen Congming gave him, the essence in the valley seemed to have grown even more intense.

The Big Dipper Constellation Array not only prevented cultivators from breaking into the valley, but it could stop the essence from leaking out as well. Under the protection of the array formation, this valley wouldn't be seen by the passing cultivators, and they would regard it as an ordinary valley that was filled by an area of intense white fog.

The array formation prevented the probing eyes of the three surrounding sects, but it also blocked Lu Linlin and Lu Lili from the valley.

"Sister, the array formation is annoying. Now, we don't know what Gongzi is doing in the valley," Lu Lili complained after flying around and finding no loopholes in the array formation.

"This array formation is fragile, but Gongzi built it; we shouldn't break it," Lu Linlin comforted Lu Lili helplessly. She was more impatient than Lu Lili, but the latter seemed to be more eager to see Hao Ren.

"What should we do?" Lu Lili looked at Lu Linlin, pouting.

"We will go back! After all, the cultivators in the Core Formation Realm can't break this array formation, and Gongzi built it to keep his privacy," Lu Linlin said with a smile.

"Ok..." Lu Lili agreed reluctantly.

During their patrol over the last two days and nights, they had sensed that Hao Ren was trying his best to absorb the essence in the valley, and he made significant progress. While they were happy to see his progress, they were worried that he might encounter dangers.

Cultivating in seclusion was a fast way to elevate realms, but the cultivators would receive great harm if they were attacked during seclusion.

"I'll kill anyone who dares to hurt Gongzi!" Flying with Lu Linlin toward the boundary between Fifth and Fourth Heaven, Lu Lili mumbled.

Shaking her head with a smile, Lu Linlin took Lu Lili's hand before shooting down from Fifth Heaven. Lu Lili had always mocked her sister for falling for Hao Ren, but it seemed like Lu Lili was the one who was in the real danger.

During the peaceful night, there was no wind in the valley.

After eight hours of cultivation, Hao Ren had successfully unlocked two more openings. It was indeed helpful to cultivate in a place full of essence.

Even Little White, who was absorbing the nature essence with its demon beast instinct, strived toward level 2. In fact, demon beasts had their own cultivation techniques. However, since Little White didn't activate its intelligence, it could only launch basic attacks with the nature essence accumulated in its body and couldn't circulate the nature essence in its body at will.

Since Hao Ren didn't have any skills and experiences in raising spirit beasts, he didn't know how to nurture it with his own nature essence. He could only communicate with Little White with simple gestures. Otherwise, Little White should have in level 2 or even level 3 with the amounts of elixir pills it had consumed.

Jumping out of the cave abode, Hao Ren practiced the fundamental boxing techniques three times before practicing the sword array formations several times. After that, he felt like his entire body was refreshed.

Little White was rolling in the fields of wildflowers. Since there were no other animals in the valley, it didn't have to act like a dignified demon beast. It bit into the wildflowers and raced around.

It looked exactly like a typical dog in the villages.

The 160 sword energies entered Hao Ren's body through the back of his neck. No sword was better than having a sword; it was so-called state of a sword god.

"Little White, stop playing! We need to head back!" With one hand, Hao Ren grabbed Little White that was covered in flower petals and tossed it into the air.

Little White rolled in the air and landed on the ground as a magnificent snow lion.

"Let's go!" Hao Ren patted Little White's rump, and they shot out of the valley!

After returning to their respective sects last night, the three sect masters carefully prepared gifts and placed three treasure boxes at the entrance of the valley. However, Hao Ren didn't see them since he was in a hurry to go back to First Heaven.

About 50 kilometers from the valley, a golden lion roared suddenly, and the girl who was riding on its back was so startled that she almost jumped onto the nearby mountain summit.

"Luojia, what happened?" The girl hugged the golden lion's neck and complained.

The golden lion called Luojia looked in the direction of Little White and shook its head with force.

Just a moment ago, it had felt the distinct aura of one of its kind.

"the Elder Senior Brother was sent by master to find a spirit stone mine in Fifth Heaven and hasn't returned after three days. Luojia, use your senses and see if there are any traces of snow lions nearby." The girl rubbed Luojia's forehead and urged.

While she spoke, Little White carrying Hao Ren flew past her in a dash.

"Snow lion!" The girl yelled, then she found something was not right. "So fast! Is it Jitian of Grand Uncle-Master? But a level 6 spirit beast wouldn't come here..."

While she hesitated, Little White and Hao Ren both disappeared from her sight in half a second.
