Hao Ren uttered a long sigh of relief.
The all-night-long cultivation on Fifth Heaven enabled him to half-open an opening. With the reminder from old Grandma, Hao Ren realized that cultivation couldn’t be rushed. As a result, he started to be more cautious.
Since Hao Ren would be under Zhao Kuo’s special training in a few days, he wasn’t in a rush to break through his levels. He would rather follow Zhao Kuo’s guidance to reach a better level.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…
The 320 sword energies came out of Hao Ren’s arms.
The Three Talents Heaven Earth Array Formation was being performed in the air the valley; its formation was neat and beautiful.
Little White ran out of its small cave, and it went to the grassland on the foot of the hill and started it ‘first pile’ of the morning.
“Three Talents Heaven Earth Array Formation!” Sitting in the cave, Hao Ren shouted abruptly.
Little White who was about to wipe its butt on the grass ran away immediately as it saw bunches of sword energies suddenly coming toward it.
The sword energies followed its butt while the bright lights around them cut off all the grasses around Little White.
Knowing that there was no way to hide, Little White finally lied on its back and spat a giant fireball.
“Haha…” Sitting in the cave, Hao Ren laughed as the 320 sword energies spun together to put out the fireball. Then, they stabbed toward Little White on its round tummy.
Little White cried and looked around but didn’t see Hao Ren. It knew that it couldn’t get away from the sword array formation, so it just released five-colored light from its paws and slid against the grass. Then, it shook suddenly and spat three fireballs.
Those fireballs were extremely hot and chased Hao Ren’s sword energies around.
Vroom…
The unstoppable sword energies annoyed Little White, and it started to howl in a low and fierce tone.
Its golden claws emitted golden sparks, and it transformed into a giant snow lion, which allowed it to block dozens of sword energies that were coming toward it.
Little White had evolved to level 2, and its golden fur had spread from its paws to its legs, making these body parts the toughest parts of its body. No weapons would be able to hurt it, and even regular dharma spells couldn’t damage it.
As a result of that, every part of a spirit beast was a treasure, especially the fur of high-level spirit beasts.
Snow lions’ fur would turn golden if they evolved level 5, just like Luojia which was owned by Duan Yao’s father. No regular weapon could do any harm to Luojia at all.
As for the snow lions on level 6, they were more powerful than a peak Nascent Soul Realm cultivator. In terms of strength, it could even reach a draw while battling with cultivators below the Soul Formation Realm.
The reason the Sky Mountain Sect could firmly occupy the mountains that contained plentiful nature essence was that a level 6 snow lion guarded them.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Little White used its front paws to smack off the sword energies that were shooting toward it. It then took the chance to fly and spat another fireball.
Boom.
The fireball exploded in the middle of the sword energies and melted down tens of them.
Hao Ren who was sitting in his cave felt his chest tighten. Then, he rushed to control the rest of the sword energies to encircle Little White.
Roar.
Little White let out an angry howl and waved its paws as fast as the wind.
Boom…
The 160 sword energies formed into a Twin Dragon Array Formation and dashed toward Little White.
Roar! Roar!
After spitting two small fireballs, Little White finally was unable to shoot any more.
As the sword energies were about to cut its ears, a massive block of ice came out of Little White’s throat.
The huge ice formed into a barrier that froze all the sword energies close by.
The legendary ice and fire-elemental snow lion! Little White finally exposed its potential.
Sitting in the cave, Hao Ren smiled with content.
His sword energies were like dharma treasures but not exactly. If they were regular dharma treasures, they would be frozen by Little White already.
The sword energies turned into tiny sparks of nature essence and went back to the cave where Hao Ren was.
Little White was powerful but was also too lazy. Therefore, the only way to improve its strength was to push its limit.
That block of ice melted all of a sudden, and it crashed onto a big piece of land.
Luckily, where Hao Ren battled with Little White was the corner of the valley. If it were in the middle of the valley, and he ruined the spiritual herbs, Xie Yujia would be very upset.
The sword energies went back to Hao Ren’s cave and returned to his body. He lost some of his nature essence during the battle with Little White, but he still felt happy.
“Little White, Little White.” Hao Ren clapped his hands toward Little White.
Little White looked back at Hao Ren who was standing in the middle of the hill. Then, it turned around and ignored Hao Ren.
This little beast seemed angry now.
Hao Ren laughed.
He poured six elixir pills out of the bottle and threw them at Little White.
The elixir pills flew steadily to Little White over the valley.
The elixir pills fell beside Little White on the grasses, but it chose to ignore them.
“Fine, Little White…” Hao Ren flew over and petted its head.
“Ruff… Ruff…” Aggrieved whispers kept coming out of Little White’s mouth.
“Alright, alright, I will inform you before any battle from now on.” Hao Ren rubbed its soft neck gently.
Little White lifted its head, stared at Hao Ren with its teary eyes, then chewed on the elixir pills that were on the grasses.
“Good…” Hao Ren rubbed its round head and realized Little White was innocent sometimes.
Although this animal liked beautiful girls, food, being lazy, rolling around, and pretending to be little… It was still very loyal.
After eating the elixir pills, Little White licked Hao Ren passionately. It was close to him again.
Hao Ren might look unhappy with Little White, but he actually cared about it a lot. If anyone ever tried to bully Little White, Hao Ren would be the first one to avenge.
“We’ll go back shortly.” Hao Ren rubbed Little White’s ears. Then, he went back to check the entrance of the valley.
According to rumors, there was a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator living in Ethereal Summit. Thus, there shouldn’t be any cultivator trying to get close at night.
However, Hao Ren still went there out of curiosity to see if there were any new messages left on the jade board.
The array formation of the valley opened, and Hao Ren noticed two people standing at the entrance as he was about to check on the board.
One of them was a beautiful lady, and the other was a pretty girl.
Both of them were wearing Daoist robes that were common on Fifth Heaven, but one of them was kneeling while the other was standing.
The girl who was kneeling had some terrible wounds in her face that looked new, and there were still bruises on both of them even though they got cleaned.
They didn’t expect people to show up, so they were shocked to see Hao Ren.
Seeing Hao Ren who was dressed strangely and young, they got so surprised that they didn’t know what to say.
“What’s the matter?” Staring at them, words jumped out of Hao Ren’s mouth subconsciously.
“Master, please grant us some elixir pills.” That beautiful lady looked at Hao Ren and finally talked, “We were thrilled to see you come back to the valley last night, but we were afraid to interrupt your cultivation. Therefore, we waited here on our knees the whole night.”
