Chapter 450: Roar!!!

Hao Ren’s body released many small sword energies, and they slowly flew toward each corner of the Scroll Pavilion.

This was a technique that Hao Ren learned from the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll after he reached Gen-level. He could scatter his spiritual senses and put them into each of the sword energies. This way, he was able to detect the surrounding environment.

Hao Ren let out hundreds of sword energies that were as small as fireflies.

Suddenly, Lu Linlin and Lu Lili opened their eyes wide and thought of something. They liked being with Hao Ren, but that didn’t mean they were stupid.

Hao Ren sat cross-legged on the floor. He was concentrating his energy, and his face turned bright red.

“Gongzi…” Lu Linlin said in a tone that was lower than her usual one.

When the Lu sisters played in their room at the three-story building at the Dragon God Shrine, they remembered clearly that a light spot entered their room.

Hao Ren never meant to keep it a secret from Lu Linlin and Lu Lili.

That day was the day when he had an epiphany and figured out this technique, and he couldn’t help but give it a try.

If it weren’t for the importance of finding the rare technique, he would never use this technique in front of them.

“I thought it was some bad guy… but it turned out to be Gongzi…” Lu Lili said lightly.

Hao Ren sweated heavily, and his face was bright red. In the same time, he let the white light dots scatter all over the Scroll Pavilion.

The strong array formation in the Scroll Pavilion stopped people from flying on the swords, but it wasn’t able to stop spiritual senses.

Normal spiritual senses could only detect the nature essence of nearby cultivators, but they weren’t able to send back the visual imagery of the surrounding environments.

When Hao Ren concentrated his spiritual senses onto his sword energies, he could achieve that effect.

The white lights landed on the rare techniques, and Hao Ren was able to see the words on the covers vaguely.

“Mid-tier Spirit Beast Training Technique, Black Tortoise Technique, Hundred Herb Theory, Lagerstroemia Technique, Nine Palace Array Formations, Seventy-Two Ways of Elixir Making…” Hao Ren focused and used his Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll to get as much information as possible.

“Level 9 Lotus Growing Technique!”

Hao Ren sensed something important, and hundreds of his sword energies rushed to that direction.

“Nine Ways of Snow Lotus, Five-Color Lotus Techniques, Five-elemental Lotus Cultivation Technique, Level 9 Lotus Cultivation… Secret Technique: Seven-Core Five-Color Lotus!”

In the pile of lotus growing techniques, Hao Ren found the rare technique on Seven-Core Five-Color Lotus! The Sky Mountain Sect was, in fact, the master of growing lotuses!

All the white light dots focused on the Seven-Core Five-Color Lotus.

“It’s that way.” Hao Ren stood up. His back and chest were soaking wet, and it took a lot of physical energy and nature essence to find it.

Although the five-elemental sword energies could lift common items, they were incapable of raising the rare techniques that were locked by array formations.

Zhen Congming looked down at the pattern on the ground. He did some calculations with his hands and took a step up.

He turned around slightly. Then, he took half a step.

“Who is that!”

There were noises outside the Scroll Pavilion.

Hao Ren knew that something was wrong, but Lu Linlin and Lu Lili’s reactions were much faster. They had already turned into two dashes of white light and flew outside from the hole in the roof.

As the two muffled noises sounded, the yelling died down. The two patrolling disciples of the Sky Mountain Sect were beaten up by the Lu sisters, and they fainted.

This also meant that Hao Ren and his group couldn’t stay in the Scroll Pavilion for much longer. Since there was one set of patrols, there would be another. If the patrolling disciples didn’t return, the others would realize that something was wrong.

“Congming, hurry up!” Hao Ren rushed him.

At any time, there could be many cultivators rushing over from the tens of thousands of building near the Scroll Pavilion. Even though Lu Linlin and Lu Lili were on the Nascent Soul Realm, they would still have no chance of escaping once the defensive array formation of the Sky Mountain Sect got activated and tens of cultivators surrounded them.

“Sh*t! Don’t rush me!” Zhen Congming went two steps across and got closer to the technique they were after.

The security of the Scroll Pavilion was top notch, even surpassing Zhen Congming’s expectations. The alarm array formation enabled every tile to have traps, so one wrong step could trigger the formation array.

“Gongzi, hurry up!” The Lu sisters’ voices sounded from outside.

Bam! Bam!

They knocked out other two disciples of the Sky Mountain Sect.

Zhen Congming walked another two steps and got closer to the technique. He wanted to touch it but hesitated. “The Sky Mountain Immortal Locking Array. Damn it! How many more traps did the Sky Mountain Sect put down?!”

There were too many array formations inside and outside the Scroll Pavilion of the Sky Mountain Sect. Even a thief like Zhen Congming was triggered.

He wanted to burn this place to the grounds with his powerful conch!

“Gongzi! Gongzi!” The Lu sisters rushed them in low voices.

Dong!

Zhao Yanzi knocked a disciple to the ground.

These patrolling disciples all reached the Foundation Establishment Realm, and Zhao Yanzi was also on that level. However, she was using the Purple Green Treasure Sword and the Big Dipper Constellation Scroll; both of them weren’t attainable by ordinary disciples.

The Tianshu Sword Technique, which was the first chapter of the Big Dipper Constellation Scroll, was especially powerful, so it was perfect for knocking people out.

Lu Linlin and Lu Lili, who were on the roof, were in charge if helping Zhao Yanzi. Those Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators couldn’t even see the sisters’ shadows and were knocked out Zhao Yanzi’s sword handle.

“Yes!” Zhen Congming finally unlocked the last array formation at the top floor of the Scroll Pavilion.

He took this book from the shelf and replaced it with a similar looking book from his storage space. He tore the cover of this rare technique and stuck it onto the replacement book. Then, he put the replacement back in the original spot.

When Hao Ren saw what Zhen Congming did, he couldn’t help but praise him. Just from the appearance on the shelf, nothing seemed off.

There were at least 1,000 books in the Scroll Pavilion. If no array formations were triggered, the Sky Mountain Sect couldn’t check each and every one.

Pa, pa, pa, pa… Zhen Congming returned to Hao Ren following the original path.

“Go!”

Zhao Ren pulled Zhen Congming with him and jumped out through the roof.

They put back the tiles to its original spot and saw five disciples of the Sky Mountain Sect lying on the ground at the back of the Scroll Pavilion. Zhao Yanzi was standing there with both hands on the sword and was breathing heavily.

“We got it. Let’s go!” Hao Ren stepped on a sword energy and flew out from the small openings in the array formations. Zhen Congming took back the black and white chess pieces that were set at the back of the Scroll Pavilion.

The small openings slowly disappeared.

Seeing Zhao Yanzi standing in her spot in shock, Hao Ren dragged her from the back as if he were holding a small pet and ran straight into the forest.

Zhen Congming stepped on his black disk and escaped rapidly.

Of course, Lu Linlin and Lu Lili weren’t slow. They each took one side of Hao Ren and flew with him.

They flew past the back mountain of the Sky Mountain Sect rapidly, following their original way back.

“Roar…” Jitian, the level 6 snow lion, that was the guardian of the Sky Mountain Sect suddenly woke up.

Its roar shook the back mountain and the tens of thousands of buildings on it.

The Sky Mountain Sect’s cultivators that were training were all shocked.

Jitian was the Guardian Spirit Beast and was also the pet of Sky Mountain Sect’s most powerful cultivator. That man reached peak Nascent Soul Realm and had not come out of seclusion cultivation for 100 years. Since he was charging at the Soul Formation Realm, his spirit beast guarded him patiently.

Whatever happened in the Sky Mountain Sect before hadn’t disturbed this spirit beast, but Jitian was suddenly infuriated now.

A thick black light shot straight out from the back mountain.

A black lion that was as big as half a mountain stopped in front of them, and its head was held up high as if it were going to swallow the moon and stars!

“Shush!”

Zhen Congming let out a powerful aura.

The level 6 snow lion was suddenly suppressed.

Zhen Congming led Hao Ren and the group and passed it, and they flew out from the small opening in the grand defensive array formation.

The Sky Mountain Sect was a total mess at this moment. Everyone, from the sect master to the elders to the disciples, were all confused.

This night was meant to be sleepless at the Sky Mountain Sect.

Hao Ren and his group flew back to Fifth Heaven and returned to the Ethereal Summit with the speed of light.

Xie Yujia was cultivating in her cave abode and was extremely worried. When she sensed that Hao Ren had returned, she rushed out.

She looked up and saw Hao Ren landing with an extraordinary aura. She then stared at the thick rare technique scroll that Hao Ren had in his hands.

“This is…” Xie Yujia was a bit confused.

This rare technique didn’t have a cover, and it had dense ancient writing on it.

“The method of growing the Seven-Core Five-Color Lotus,” Hao Ren said with a smile.

When she heard Hao Ren saying those words, Xie Yujia’s face lit up with joy. “You really got it!”

“Yeah…” Hao Ren took out the three lotus seeds from his necklace and placed them in Xie Yujia’s soft hands. “I’ll leave them to you!”

“Ok!” Xie Yujia nodded.

As long as Hao Ren returned from Sixth Heaven safely, she was happy.

Zhao Yanzi put her Purple Green Treasured Sword back and touched her waist. Then, she yelled out in surprise, “What…”

“What is it?” Hao Ren quickly asked her.

“Nothing. It’s ok.” Zhao Yanzi shook her head and quickly jumped into her cave abode.

After this time, she realized how strong the Big Dipper Constellation Scroll really was. Even the disciples of the Sky Mountain Sect who were at the same Foundation Establishment Realm as her couldn’t even stand one of her strikes.

This also made her more enthusiastic about cultivating the Big Dipper Constellation Scroll.

“Gongzi, we’re going to go take a rest.” Lu Linlin dragged Lu Lili with her, and they flew back to their cave abode. Lu Linlin looked calm, but she was still mad at Hao Ren for using his spiritual senses to spy on them.

Hao Ren could only smile bitterly. If he actually had bad intentions, it wouldn’t just end like that…”Congming, thanks so much for everything this time,” Hao Ren said to Zhen Congming as the Lu sisters left.

“Hmph. I’m only doing this because of Grandma.” Zhen Congming suddenly became arrogant again and went into Xie Yujia’s elixir making room.

Hao Ren wasn’t bothered by this.

Zhen Congming’s attitude made him hard to approach, but he was willing to become another of Hao Ren’s Grandma’s grandson. That was why he had some “brotherhood relationships” with Hao Ren. Otherwise, he couldn’t have gone through all the trouble.

After Zhen Congming went to the elixir making room, only Hao Ren and Xie Yujia were in the cave now. Under the moonlight, the two looked at each other dubiously.

“Did you read the scroll that Grandma gave you?” Hao Ren tried to initiate a conversation.

“Yes. I’ve read it all once and understood most of it.” Xie Yujia slightly nodded and put the rare technique and lotus seeds on the stone table. Then, she slowly opened her arms.

The gold and silver Life-Death Notes came out from Xie Yujia’s body, and they flew around her.

Hao Ren counted to 16.

These dharma notes were only the size of the tip of a thumb but had complicated patterns which were still very clear to the eyes.

Xie Yujia bit her lips and continued to use her nature essence to make the 16 dharma notes fly out and float around outside the cave.

After the evening breeze blew by, these dharma notes slowly fell to the ground.

Xie Yujia’s face turned red, and she said, “I haven’t perfected it yet…”

Right at that moment, Duan Yao was holding her head in shock in front of her father.

“How dare you! You’ve become bolder and bolder!” The mid-aged man who was in a long grey robe said. He looked so mad that it looked like he was smudged with a thick layer of spicy sauce.

“Daddy! I’m telling the truth!” Duan Yao rubbed her head that was still hurting and said, looking very honest. “There are five of them. Three are female cultivators, and I’ve seen one of them before. She’s the one who impersonated me and robbed people on Fifth Heaven. There was another one who looked like a kid, and the last one was a pervert who used sword energies and trespassed the White Sand Sect on Fifth Heaven. Oh! There was also a black snow lion.”

“Impersonate you?! Black snow lion?! The last time you told me, it was a white Snow Lion. This time it’s black?!” The mid-aged man roared with anger, and he stood up rapidly from his chair.

“It might be… it might be that it was dark… and I couldn’t see clearly…” Duan Yao murmured.

“You can turn white into black; you’re just making things up!” The mid-aged man slapped something onto the red tea table with his hands. “What is this!”

Duan Yao saw that those were the jades that belonged to her. She reached over to her waist and realized that the jades that were supposed to be with her had disappeared.

“There’s sufficient evidence! These were found behind the Scroll Pavilion by Elder Liu and his disciples! You even hurt five disciples, and you want to blame other people for it!” The mid-aged man shivered when he saw how innocent Duan Yao looked.

“Daddy… I really didn’t do it…” Duan Yao kept shaking her heads. She thought for a moment and asked, “Daddy, do you think that those thieves stole rare techniques from our Scroll Pavilion?”

“Stop the nonsense! Six elders checked the Scroll Pavilion’s array formations and the rare techniques. No unusual signs were discovered! Even now, you’re still making stories up to lie to me! The array formations of our Sky Mountain Sect couldn’t be unlocked that easily!” The mid-aged man stomped his feet heavily, and a stone tile shattered into five pieces immediately.

Duan Yao’s eyes brightened up as she said, “Daddy, didn’t you say that a few years ago, the Sky Mountain Sect had a thief who came and stole from us once? There was a kid among those people this time!”

“Stop lying! That kid thief only works alone! Also, none of the spiritual herbs are missing! You’re still just making up stories! Elder Liu and his disciples said they were hit in the dark by the Purple Green Treasure Sword, and the person who hit them used the Big Dipper Constellation Scroll! If it weren’t you, who else could it be!”

“Also, your nonsense had woken up Uncle-Master’s level 6 snow lion, Jitian. It didn’t attack you because it recognized that you are a disciple of the Sky Mountain Sect! What else could you say now!”

“I thought that you would reflect on yourself in the back mountain honestly, so I didn’t set up array formations to prevent you from coming out. However, I never thought that you would be this daring! Go back and reflect for one month longer. I’ll set an array formation this time so that you won’t be able to take even a step out of there!”

The mid-aged man let out a roar. He was impatient and flung his arm, blowing Duan Yao directly outside.
