Chapter 367: What Is Love...

It was the first time that Sect Master Wang spoke to Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, especially two beautiful female cultivators who held the life of the whole sect in their hands!

Shivering all over, he led Lu Linlin and Lu Lili and flew up along the steps.

In the ruins of the grand hall, the two disciples who had just reached the Core Formation Realm looked up at Lu Linlin and Lu Lili with numb limbs and blank minds.

After breaking through the bottleneck of their cultivation and reaching the Core Formation Realm, they had been smug. However, they were defeated by one attack from a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator!

Lu Linlin and Lu Lili were ushered quickly to the quiet back mountain.

This was the resting place of the sect master; it was in a peaceful environment and had abundant essence.

"In two hours, no one is allowed to get close to this place!" Lu Linlin turned to Sect Master Wang and said.

Facing Lu Linlin, Sect Master Wang was so nervous that he couldn't even stand straight. He could somewhat maintain the dignity of a sect master before the Sky Mountain Sect disciples, but he lost all of his composure in front of Nascent Soul Realm cultivators.

"Why are you still here?" Lu Lili asked impatiently.

Sect Master Wang looked like a rat who bullied the weak and flattered the powerful. Lu Lili was disgusted at the sight of him, especially now when she was in a bad mood.

Hearing the impatience in her words, Sect Master Wang didn't dare to stay for even one more second. He turned immediately and flew away on a flying sword.

He was planning to ask the masters from the Sky Mountain Sect to help them press down Lu Linlin and Lu Lili, but he gave up on this idea after the Lu sisters showed their Nascent Soul Realm strength.

After all, Nascent Soul Realm cultivators had no rivals on Fifth Heaven and were top-tier masters even on Sixth Heaven. If the Lu sister fought with the Sky Mountain Sect masters, White Sand Sect, an affiliated sect on Fifth Heaven, would be wiped out easily without a trace!

Regardless of the identity of the cultivator they brought with them, Sect Master Wang fervently hoped that they would leave his sect as soon as possible!

Bang! Lu Linlin and Lu Lili carried Hao Ren's silver dragon body into the room and shut the door,

They scanned the room with their powerful spiritual senses and made sure that there were no traps or arrays in the room. Then, they put the silver dragon onto the bed.

After forcing himself into Dui-level, transforming into a dragon, and enduring the lightning tribulation, Hao Ren exhausted his body while chipping his dragon core and shattering the openings he had unlocked earlier with his sword energies.

Dragon cores were the foundations of dragon cultivators. If Hao Ren were an ordinary dragon cultivator, he would have died already. However, Hao Ren's simultaneous cultivation of the five elemental essences with the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll helped him balance the nature essence in his body, giving him features of human cultivators.

That was why Hao Ren still had a trace of essence guarding his heart despite the severely damaged dragon core. The sword energies created by the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll were still instinctively traveling through his body swiftly, helping to keep the meridians open.

"Sister, what should we do?" Lu Lili looked at Lu Linlin with fear and anxiety.

"Since Gongzi hasn't solidified his realm with Mystic Crystal, if we take the nature essence from his body and shatter the dragon core, he will be safe. However, he... will return to a mortal," Lu Linlin said after a few seconds of hesitation.

"As long as Gongzi is alive, I guard him all his life!" Lu Lili said with determination as she held the silver dragon. After a moment of consideration, she continued, "They ruined Gongzi's cultivation ability. I'll go and destroy the West Ocean Dragon Palace!"

"The other option is to recover his cultivation strength by godly elixir pills," Lu Linlin said.

"Above Realm... Should we go back to Above Realm?" Lu Lili's eyes were shining with tears when she looked at Lu Linlin.

"Where can we find godly elixir pills under Above Realm? After all, there are no elixir masters among the dragon cultivators; they don't even have many level 9 golden pills, let alone godly elixir pills. There are no godly elixir pills under Seventh Heaven, and I can't break into Eighth Heaven with my current strength. We can only find some godly elixir pills in Above Realm," Lu Linlin said.

"Sister, you want to go back?" Lu Lili widened her eyes.

Returning to Above Realm, A.K.A Ninth Heaven, meant that Lu Linlin wouldn't be able to come back.

"I'll ask the Queen for the godly elixir pills, Sister..." Lu Lili looked at Lu Linlin sincerely and said, "You stay with the Gongzi and take good care of him. You are more considerate and smarter than me. I'll be reassured knowing that you are looking after him."

"I'll go get the elixir pills, and you stay here. The Queen is good to me, and she won't punish me. I know that you are very happy with Gongzi, and you should stay below Above Realm," Lu Linlin said.

"Sister..." Lu Lili looked at Lu Linlin, not sure what to say.

Silence took over.

Since they didn't return to Ninth Heaven right after they were freed, they would be punished when they returned. They both would rather go back to endure the punishment alone, leaving the other with Hao Ren, even though neither of them wanted to leave Hao Ren and each other.

Streaks of pure nature essence flew from their palms into Hao Ren's dragon body. Standing on either side of him, they looked at each other and sustained Hao Ren's life before they could reach a decision.

"Gongzi likes you; you stay with him." Lu Linlin finally opened her mouth.

"I think Gongzi likes you, too," Lu Lili replied.

They fell into silence again.

"How about this. Each of us uses half of our cultivation strength and help Gongzi repair his dragon core. However, we will fall from our current realm," Lu Linlin said.

"If you can do it, I can too," Lu Lili said.

"In this way, we can both stay by Gongzi's side," Lu Linlin said.

"Ok!" Lu Lili nodded.

Lu Linlin raised her hand, and the cotton curtain that was hanging in the room flew into her hand.

Draping the curtain gently over Hao Ren's silver dragon body, Lu Linlin abruptly put more nature essence into her hands.

In fact, they both planned to do this when they were carrying Hao Ren to Fifth Heaven. However, cultivation strength and realms were essential to cultivators, and neither of them wanted to force the other to sacrifice her cultivation strength for Hao Ren just because she wanted to save him using this method.

Without hesitation, Lu Lili followed suit and injected more nature essence into Hao Ren's body.

To completely repair Hao Ren's dragon core, they would have to sacrifice half of their cultivation strength. Was it worth it? They didn't know.

To sacrifice two Qian-level strengths for a Zhen-level strength... Lu Linlin and Lu Lili exchanged a look and gritted their teeth.

Looking from a distance at the back mountain, the elders and disciples of White Sand Sect saw hundreds of colorful sword energies dance in the sky above the back mountain.

Some of the elders and Sect Master Wang found the sword energies quite familiar. Soaring in the high sky, the 640 sword energies gradually merged and turned into 320 sword energies before merging again into 160 sword energies. Each time they combined, the sword energies got more dazzling.

The sword energies were the soldiers, and the cultivator was the general!

The sword energies that were flying there were, in fact, Hao Ren's nature essence!

The sword energies intensified as Hao Ren's nature essence gradually condensed and elevated.

Two three-petal lotuses that were as big as half a mountain slowly rose on the south and north side of the back mountain.

According to the legends, only the grandmaster of the Soul Formation Realm could cultivate natal five-colored lotuses!

Above Qi Refinement was Core Formation; above Core Formation was Nascent Soul; above Nascent Soul was Soul Formation; above Soul Formation was Lotus Formation!

The three petals of the two flawless lotuses slowly began to spread, and a pure white light enveloped the entire White Sand Sect. The thousands of sects in the area were stunned at this miracle, and the spirit beasts on Fifth Heaven roared uneasily.

When the spiritual lotuses appeared, a phenomenon would occur!!

The huge lotuses nurtured the 160 five-elemental sword energies from both sides.

The lotuses emitted pure chaotic nature essence which could nurture and repair everything and destroy anything!

Lu Linlin and Lu Lili were using their natal lotuses to repair Hao Ren's dragon core!

The magnificent view that was happening on the back mountain was the process of the Lu sisters burning their cultivation strengths.

If one of the petals broke, Lu Linlin's and Lu Lili's cultivation strength would drop by half.

With their unique cultivation technique, one petal was equivalent to the full cultivation strength of a top-tier Nascent Soul Realm cultivator!

With the foundations of the three-petal lotuses, they were able to progress at a great speed. Losing one petal meant great damage to their cultivation foundation!

They were only able to reach their current three-petal lotus realm after 1,000 years of cultivation. Now to save Hao Ren, to stay with him, and to be around each other, they were sacrificing all they had with gritted teeth!

Two lotuses rotated slowly in the sky, emitting white lighting and increasing the essence intensity of the surrounding area!

The cultivators of White Sand Sect who were closest to the back mountain suddenly felt the intensity of nature essence increase by 100 times!

They were stunned and felt ecstatic.

Disregarding their dignities, the elders immediately sat down cross-legged and started to cultivate. After all, with the essence intensity increasing by 100 times, this environment was better than that on Seventh Heaven, and they must take the opportunity to get stronger!

Soaring between the two lotuses, the 160 sword energies swiftly strengthened themselves in the essence intensity that was 1,000 times greater than before.

All the sects around the White Sand Sect had sensed the sudden increase in essence intensity. After some bafflement, they all sat down to cultivate.

As the cultivators in the area went crazy over the sudden increase of essence intensity on Fifth Heaven, the two three-petal lotuses began to wither.

"What is love? Why do people want to live and die for it..."

With a slight sigh, a bright light beam shot down from Sixth Heaven.

The three-petal lotuses that were about to lose one petal each were instantly reinvigorated!

Immediately, the essence intensity on Fifth Heaven began to drop quickly.

The cultivators who had been trying hard to absorb the dense nature essence suddenly felt like the essences in their bodies were quickly pouring out!

A grandmaster of the Soul Formation Realm!!!
