“What can we do for you, Master?”

The Soul Formation Realm cultivators saw that Hao Ren looked displeased, so they rushed over to ask what was wrong.

They were worried now. However, if Hao Ren just left without saying anything, they would be even more worried.

They were already Earthly Immortals when they reached the Soul Formation Realm, and they were almost invincible in the cultivation world. However, they were dealing with people like Zhen Yuan Zi, so they were extra careful. Even though this immortal didn't usually appear anymore, he was still the leader of all Earthly Immortals.

“I have something that needs your help,” Hao Ren said. Then, he looked at Lingwu Master.

Lingwu Master understood what Hao Ren meant, so he immediately sat on Jitian.

Although Jitian's stomach was wounded, it's injury was not that severe since it was already a level 6 spirit beast.

The five Soul Formation Realm cultivators looked at each other. After all, Hao Ren asking them for help was a good thing. If they did it right, they could make up for what they did wrong. Hao Ren asking them for help was much better than telling them to Zhen Yuan Zi.

Lingwu Master rode on Jitian and flew toward the tunnel between Sixth Heaven and Seventh Heaven.

Hao Ren looked at Little White's b.u.t.t and saw that Little White's wound was not that severe. He told Little White to turn back to its snow lion form and put Lu Linlin and Lu Lili on its back. He told Little White to follow Lingwu Master. Lu LInlin and Lu Lili were both in bad shape with their hands ice-cold.

The five Soul Formation Realm cultivators didn't dare to surpa.s.s Hao Ren, so they just obediently followed him. The five Soul Formation Realm cultivators didn't even dare to show any signs of negative emotions. It looked like Hao Ren was leading five sheep.

The tunnel between Seventh and Sixth Heaven was 1,000 kilometers away. Lingwu Master had been to the Seventh Heaven before, so he knew how long the tunnel was.

With Jitian and Little White's speed, it only took a short amount of time to arrive at the tunnel.

There were Nascent Soul Realm cultivators of all the seven factions guarding the tunnel. Hao Ren and Lingwu Master didn't seem like Seventh Heaven cultivators. When these cultivators didn't see a token by the waists of Hao Ren and Lingwu Master, they ran out from a small house near the tunnel and quickly surrounded Hao Ren and the Master.

There were only a few tunnels between the Sixth and Seventh Heaven. All the tunnels were guarded by Nascent Soul Realm cultivators from all seven factions. Each faction would send out guardians, and they would rotate to protect the tunnels.

That was why it was impossible for Nascent Soul Realm cultivators of Sixth Heaven to cross these tunnels secretly.

“Show your tokens now!”

The seven Nascent Soul Realm cultivators all came up from their respective small houses which they were cultivating in. When each Nascent Soul Realm cultivator saw the other six Nascent Soul Realm cultivators run out of their houses, they knew that these four cultivators who were riding on the snow lions didn't belong to any of the Seventh Heaven factions.

That was why they simultaneously questioned Hao Ren and the others. Once again, seven treasures were pointing towards Hao Ren and Lingwu Master.

If Hao Ren and Lingwu Master didn't immediately show their tokens, they would be attacked and killed.

Suddenly, the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators saw five cultivators behind the two snow lions.

Just when they were about to attack these five cultivators with their treasures, they realized something was wrong - the five cultivators had supreme spiritual treasures in their hands.

One of the cultivators landed onto the ground from the sky and kneeled before Hao Ren.

“Master”! he said.

The Nascent Soul Realm cultivators opened their eyes widely to see that there were ultimate tokens that s.h.i.+ned a golden light by their waists.

Pound, pound, pound… They quickly put away their treasures. The Nascent Soul Realm cultivators hurried to kneel as if they were falling rocks.

Those tokens belonged to the Soul Formation Realm cultivators of Seventh Heaven. Because the cultivators on Seventh Heaven wouldn't destroy the array formation, the Soul Formation Realm cultivators would need to go through the tunnel to go below Seventh Heaven.

They did not dare to go against these Soul Formation Realm cultivators. These seven Nascent Soul Realm cultivators called the Soul Formation Realm cultivators ‘Master' to show respect, regardless of which faction they belonged to.

Amongst these Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, only one had seen the Soul Formation Realm cultivators in their faction. The others had only heard of these Earthly Immortals. However, because they saw the tokens by their waists, they knew they were the real deal!

Their bodies s.h.i.+vered while they secretly complained, “Why would five masters appear together? Why would they suppress their aura? We had almost attacked our own masters…”

In reality, these five Soul Formation Realm cultivators had only been following Hao Ren obediently. They suppressed their aura because they wanted to more low-key and not infuriate Hao Ren.

Lingwu Master was flying in the front. When he saw these seven Nascent Soul Realm cultivators' heads on the ground as they kneeled before them, he felt an incredible sense of joy.

He also had a sense of guilt. He had cultivated for almost 1,000 years and had once reached peak Nascent Soul Realm. He shouldn't have such a thought, but he still felt incredibly proud when the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators bowed before him.

“Humph!” The Soul Formation Realm cultivator of the Mystic Sound Faction snorted, and the heads of the seven Nascent Soul Realm cultivators were hit hard.

They looked back and saw the five Soul Formation Realm cultivators sending off the cultivators on the two snow lions across the tunnels. They looked at each other in shock; they felt like they all escaped from h.e.l.l.

The Soul Formation Realm cultivators had ultimate tokens. However, the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators guarding the tunnel at Seventh Heaven had never heard of Soul Formation Realm cultivators leaving the Seventh Heaven. Now that five Soul Formation Realm cultivators were there in action.

“Is something grand happening?” they thought.

The seven Nascent Soul Realm cultivators calmly returned to their small houses to alert their respective factions with superior voice transmission notes.

The nature essence intensity was a lot weaker in Sixth Heaven compared to Seventh Heaven.

Hao Ren saw Lingwu Master's hesitation, so he said, “Senior Lingwu, I'll send you back to Sky Mountain Sect first.”

Although Lingwu Master had not fought in the front line with the Seventh Heaven cultivators this time on their trip to steal herbs, Lingwu Master was overall on Hao Ren's side.

Maybe it was because that Duan Yao ‘married into Ethereal Summit' so that Ethereal Summit and Sky Mountain Sect were somewhat related, Lingwu Master a bit appalled and immediately waved his hand to reject the offer.

Then, he thought more carefully and realized that these Soul Formation Realm cultivators wouldn't harm Sky Mountain Sect because of the obvious relations.h.i.+p he had with Hao Ren.

Suddenly, he seemed to understand everything. Hao Ren was doing this because that Duan Yao had ‘married into' Ethereal Summit. Moreover, she was much loved by this master.

In ancient times, the mother would depend on her sons to maintain a good status. However, Sky Mountain Sect had relied on their daughter. Ever since Sky Mountain Sect sent Duan Yao to Ethereal Summit, all the other Sixth Heaven sects wanted to send their prettiest and most talented girls to Ethereal Summit as well, but none had found the opportunity to do so.

Lingwu Master thought a bit harder, and he realized that with Jitian and Little White's traveling speed, it wouldn't take much longer to reach the territory of Sky Mountain Sect.

The Nascent Soul Realm elders of the sect were quite worried. When they saw Jitian in the sky, they all rushed to the grand hall to greet them.

The five Soul Formation Realm cultivators were floating outside Sky Mountain Sect and didn't follow Hao Ren inside; they were afraid of displeasing Hao Ren,

A light rose up to the sky from the Sect Master' House. Duan Yao's mother was on a flying sword and rus.h.i.+ng over to Hao Ren and Lingwu Master.”

When she saw Hao Ren, she hesitated for a bit before she approached him and handed him a little jacket. She carefully probed Hao Ren by asking “Master, can you give this to Yao?”

Lingwu Master glared at her slightly, and Duan Yao's mother flew back a few steps on her sword.

Hao Ren had already taken it. He looked down at the soft piece of clothing that he was holding, and he saw that each st.i.tch was carefully and delicately made. It was much better than the ones in the city, and he could tell that Duan Yao's mother had made it especially for her.

She probably though Duan Yao was at Ethereal Summit and knew that Duan Yao wouldn't come back again.

As a cultivator, it was a waste of time making clothes. However, it was the thought that counted… Hao Ren looked at Duan Yao's mother and felt touched.

He took the clothing without saying much. He gave it to Lu Lili, who was by his side. When he saw Duan Yao in the future, he would give it to her. However, it was still up to her whether she wanted to accept this gift.

“Master… Master…” the Core Formation Realm cultivators who were guarding the gates came rus.h.i.+ng in front of Lingwu Master. They yelled: “There are… there are five Cultivators of Soul Formation Realm outside!”

When the Nascent Soul Realm elders of Sky Mountain Sect heard the words of the Core Formation Realm cultivators, their faces turned grim.

“Soul Formation Realm cultivators had suddenly appeared at the door of Sky Mountain Sect? Is this…?” they thought.

However, Lingwu Master looked very calm.

When the Nascent Soul Realm elders saw how calm Lingwu Master was, they secretly admired his composure. “He is indeed the greatest elder in Sky Mountain Sect.”

“Master… Master…” there was another Core Formation Realm cultivator that flew over from the front gates. He was riding on a slanted and whimsy flight sword and looked incredibly shocked.

“Those five Soul Formation Realm cultivators wanted me to give this level 6 spiritual creature to master as compensation…” The Core Formation Realm cultivator opened his hand to show what was inside to Lingwu Master.

The golden napkin that wrapped five elixir pills inside. Each one of the elixir pills had a nice sheen and round shape to it.

The Nascent Soul Realm elders of Sky Mountain Sect looked at each other, wondering why Soul Formation Realm cultivators would give Sky Mountain Sect such a present.

Lingwu Master took over the napkin and put it in his sleeve.

He knew that the five Soul Formation Realm cultivators came to Sky Mountain Sect to compensate for what they have done and to see if they could get out of trouble.

If Hao Ren were just an ordinary cultivator, he would never dare to accept the five elixir pills. However, Hao Ren was the brother of Zhen Yuan Immortal, so it was impossible that the Soul Formation Realm cultivators would take back their words or their gifts!

When the Nascent Soul Realm elders saw Lingwu Master receiving the gift so easily, they gasped.

“OK. That's everything.” Hao Ren patted Little White's head to indicate it to turn around and fly towards the fate of Sky Mountain Sect.

Hao Ren didn't really care if the Soul Formation Realm cultivators were nice to Sky Mountain Sect. Since Duan Yao helped him a few times at the Demon Sea, he didn't want Sky Mountain Sect to be destroyed.

“Farewell, Master!” Lingwu Master shouted out with respect. He was still on Jitian's back, and he waved both hands.

Hao Ren's back faced Lingwu Master, and h put up his hand and waved. Hao Ren was on Little White as it flew towards the gate of Sky Mountain Sect.

Although Hao Ren didn't want to be closely related to Sky Mountain Sect, it seemed that the relations.h.i.+p between Ethereal Summit and Sky Mountain Sect was already close.
