Chapter 314: Relocation!

-Night time-

Hao Ren stood in the middle of the perfect circle on the beach.

Shoo…A light grey sword energy shot into the cloud with a straight tail of light.

Heavenly lightning activated.

The Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll was a sword cultivation technique as well as a lightning cultivation technique.

On Fifth Heaven, Hao Ren broke through to level 2 of the Sword Array Formation by accident under the pressure posed by the White Sand Sect. He applied the Two Dragons Array Formation, and it also broke through a few openings on the dragon core.

Upon returning, Hao Ren rushed back to Zhao Hongyu’s studio to study and help out, so he didn’t have a chance to rest and reorganize. Now, he could only use the power of pure heavenly lightning to reinforce his meridians.

A thin streak of lightning shot toward the beach along the path of Hao Ren’s sword energy.

Boom! It struck on top of Hao Ren’s head, and it crushed the sand and rocks in the area.

The power of lightning is the purest form of the combination of the five elemental essences. After it got broken down, it went into Hao Ren’s meridians in the form of liquid. The lightning, which was punishment for cultivators, could benefit Hao Ren on an enormous scale!

It would not damage his meridians. Instead, it could help him cultivate as long as rules were followed.

The meridians which were strengthened by the dragon core and expanded by the sword energies greedily absorbed the pure power of the heavenly lightning.

For the cultivators in the Core Formation Realm or Zhen-level who didn’t cultivate all five elements at the same time, these thin streaks of heavenly lightning could make them faint!

Ring… ring… The cellphone Hao Ren put outside the circle suddenly started to go off.

The second heavenly lightning was already on its way, so Hao Ren had to take back the hundun sword energy he was using and roll out of the dangerous circled area.

Hao Ren, who was half-naked, took the phone out of his pocket. “Hello.”

“Ren, you still have class tomorrow. What are you doing out so late on your own?” It was Yue Yang.

“I’m just taking a walk and will be back soon…” Hao Ren lightly exhaled.

The heavenly lightning went off its track and hit the surface of the ocean in the distance. It flipped up a three-meter-high wave.

“The weather report said that there would be a storm today. Come back soon,” Yue Yang urged him on the phone.

“Alright, alright, alright.” Hao Ren had to agree.

Initially, he just wanted to cultivate on his own and didn’t want to drag Xie Yujia into it. But now, it seemed like it caused his mom’s suspicion.

Hao Ren got dressed and leaped into the air; he was so high in the air that he felt like he was flying. He dashed toward his home quickly, leaving a line of light footprints behind him.

In order to avoid being caught by his parents, Hao Ren specifically picked a quiet place far from the house. Although he told them that he was nearby, he was actually two kilometers away!

The reason why Hao Ren was able and ran so fast and jump so high was that he used the sword-riding technique that he learned on Fifth Heaven. He got back to his home in just one minute, covering almost two kilometers!

“You went out when it was so late already,” Yue Yang complained when she saw Hao Ren coming in.

Hao Ren was also a little upset since he had to come back in the middle of cultivation. “I was just taking a walk…”

“The weather report said there would be a storm tonight, and you are still wandering around. Do you want to get sick? Plus, Yujia just got here, so you should be spending more time with her to comfort her,” Yue Yang leaned over and said quietly.

“Oh, oh…” Hao Ren had to obey.

With his physique right now, Hao Ren wouldn’t even catch a cold if he stood in the rain for an entire day. On top of that, not a single raindrop would be able to get to him as long as he created a energy sphere.

“The East Ocean City’s weather has been a bit abnormal lately. The Observatory had already set up 86 observation points to monitor the air pressure and the movements of the cloud, 24/7,” Yue Yang said casually.

She didn’t want Hao Ren to walk around in the evening under such abnormal climate. The country saw the macroscopic climate forecasting as a major project, and these statistics could play an important role in predicting natural disasters.

“Um…” Hao Ren assumed that the change of climate lately mostly had something to do with the increasing number of cultivators from Fifth Heaven. The fluctuation of nature essence would definitely cause the change in climate.

Even a small sect like the White Sand Sect could come down to First Heaven and scout around. Who knew how many cultivators that more prominent sects sent.

When the Nine Dragon Palace appeared last time, thousands of human cultivators were active above East Ocean City, and more than half of them were wiped out. Although that incident had passed, the sects that lost cultivators would definitely seek revenge for it.

It was a warning sign when the human cultivators on and above Fifth Heaven constantly scouted around First Heaven. At the thought of this, Hao Ren realized that he should probably report to Su Han.

Obviously, those human cultivators didn’t really play by the rules as they had always treated mortals as lower life forms. It would be a huge problem if a cultivator appeared riding a sword in the low sky.

The humans nowadays weren’t the same as what they were before. It would be difficult to say which party would be the winner; the missiles or the flying sword.

“Hey, hey, what’s going on?” Yue Yang asked as she waved her hand in front of Hao Ren.

Hao Ren finally came back to his senses and asked, “Where’s Yujia?”

“She went back to her room after you left,” Yue Yang said. Then, she glimpsed at Hao Ren and added “She is more hardworking than you. She must be reading in her room. You, on the other hand, wander around all day, and I don’t even know what you are doing.”

Hao Ren thought to himself, “I was busy saving the world, so I don’t have the time to read. But Mom has a point. I need to spend more time with Yujia since she is staying with us.”

“If there’s nothing else, Mom, please go up and rest. I’ll go check on Yujia,” Hao Ren said.

“I need to keep your grandma company…” Yue Yang smiled and went upstairs. She was busy with work and rarely spent any time with her family. Therefore, Grandma had complained about it a lot. She took a more permanent position this time to spend more time at home with grandma and Hao Ren.

Knock… knock… Hao Ren walked to a room on the first floor and knocked.

“Who!” An alert voice came through the door.

Hao Ren was stupefied for a moment before he realized that it was Zhen Congming’s room. Xie Yujia’s room was next to it.

Splash… It sounded like a large number of treasures were knocking into each other in the room.

That was the sound of Zhen Congming putting a roomful of treasures back into his storage space. This kid was as wealthy as a country, but he was so stingy that he didn’t want to spare a penny. He hastily put everything away since he thought Hao Ren wanted to come inside.

Hao Ren knocked on the other door. “Yujia…”

“Um, here! Come in!” Xie Yujia said in her melodious voice.

Hao Ren slowly opened the door after hearing Xie Yujia’s response.

Xie Yujia was sitting at the foot of the bed with her legs crossed, and she was wearing a set of fluffy white pajamas.

Her black hair fluttered loosely; it was a bit wet since she just took a shower.

Although she was mentally prepared, she still blushed inevitably.

“What are you doing?” Hao Ren asked.

“Cultivating.” Xie Yujia smiled in embarrassment. “But it doesn’t seem to be improving.”

She was very hardworking despite her limited talent. However, she was still hanging around level 3 and level 4 of the Qi Refinement Realm. On the other hand, her ‘disciple’ Zhao Yanzi had exceeded her. Zhao Yanzi was only one step away from reaching level 10 of the Qi Refinement Realm and advancing toward the Foundation Establishment Realm.

“Take it slow. You can’t rush this,” Hao Ren said.

It took him a lot of effort to reach the third level of the Spirit Concentration Scroll.

“Did you help out at Auntie Zhao’s today?” Xie Yujia stretched her legs and rubbed her shoulders as she asked Hao Ren.

Xie Yujia played basketball quite often, and she was very flexible. A few random movements demonstrated her beautiful figure.

“Yes, they wanted to keep me for dinner too, but I insisted on coming back for dinner,” Hao Ren said.

“Their family has always been nice to you.” Xie Yujia looked down and smiled.

“Yeah…” Hao Ren breathed out, not knowing what to say.

Hua… It suddenly started to storm outside.

The sound of the rain and the sound of the ocean waves mixed, making this little room feel very cozy.

“That little girl, Zhao Yanzi, seems to be very talented in cultivation,” Xie Yujia continued.

She could sense that Zhao Yanzi was leveling up faster than her. Although they were practicing the same technique, they gave off different auras.

“Don’t worry. You will improve with time. Zhao Yanzi has experience and foundation, but you have to figure it out on your own,” Hao Ren said.

Xie Yujia was lonely again when the old Grandma suddenly left. Hao Ren understood why Yue Yang asked him to spend more time with Xie Yujia now. Compared to Zhao Yanzi who was spoiled like a princess by her parents, Xie Yujia, who stayed with his family, seemed a bit marginalized.

“Um, I plan to spend tonight cultivating and seeing if I can improve,” Xie Yujia nodded firmly and said.

It wasn’t that she wanted to compare herself with Zhao Yanzi; instead, she wished to catch up to Hao Ren as soon as possible. Since she now was a cultivator, she could sense the power Hao Ren emitted.

Ordinary people would believe that it was his temperament, but a cultivator could tell that it was his cultivation realm.

Hao Rem smiled as she bit her lip, determined. He left her room and went back to the living room.

It was raining cats and dogs outside the window.

Who knew how many human cultivators were sneaking into the East Ocean City under the cover of a night like this.

Even the elder from the East Ocean Dragon Clan who was in charge of the rainfall probably couldn’t even detect these human cultivators.

It was actually the best opportunity to practice lightning cultivation in the thunderstorm. However, it was probably not a good idea to sneak outside when both of his parents were home.

Hao Ren thought for a bit and decided to go back to his room to cultivate. However, Fifth Heaven was filled with nature essence and seemed like a great place to cultivate… One hour up there was equivalent to three hours in the East Ocean City…

“What would happen if… I summoned heavenly lightning on Fifth Heaven… and what would happen if… I can find a deserted valley in Fifth Heaven and created a cave abode in there… my identity wouldn’t be exposed since I have a five-elemental cultivation technique… Yujia is an authentic human cultivator, Zhao Yanzi is now also considered a human cultivator since she lost her dragon core, and Lu Linlin and Lu Lily are not dragon cultivators, to begin with… The five of us could probably not cause any suspicion on Fifth Heaven…” An idea suddenly appeared in Hao Ren’s mind.
