Whoos.h.!.+

Hao Ren stepped on a sword energy and flew into his cave abode.

The golden s.h.i.+eld made a humming sound while hovering around twice before laying inside the crevice of the cave.

Lu Linlin and Lu Lili looked at each other and released their Yin-Yang Bracelets toward the spiritual field. The bracelets floated on top of the Seven-Core Five-Color Lotus and released an energy sphere.

In the next two days, both Hao Ren and the Seven-Core Five-Color Lotus had to be protected. Lu Linlin and Lu Lili would stay in the valley and stop any possible problems from happening.

Xie Yujia also insisted on staying in Ethereal Summit. She would take care of the snow lion cubs while trying to create elixir pills at the same time.

Making level 6 pill might be slightly a reach above her limit, but she still needed to give it a try. Due to the effect of the array formation, spiritual herbs in the valley grew tremendously, and she had plenty of materials.

Duan Yao followed Hao Ren and came to Fifth Heaven, an she stayed in the valley because she didn't want to go to Sixth Heaven. She made a cave abode for herself and flew inside to take rest.

Zhao Yanzi saw the small array formation in front of Hao Ren's cave and knew that Hao Ren wanted to adjust and cultivate. He wouldn't see anybody for sure, and no one could disturb him.

She stayed in the valley for a while and saw that nothing was happening in Hao Ren's cave. She was still worried about her third uncle, so she talked to Xie Yujia before flying toward the land.

As if it were the calm before the storm, nothing happened to the stifling Ethereal Summit as time pa.s.sed.

The area near Ethereal Summit was the forbidden zone in Fifth Heaven. Even the cultivators from Sixth and Seventh Heaven had to detour around here as well.

Pop!

Two days had pa.s.sed, and that Seven-Core Five-Color Lotus in the middle of the spiritual field suddenly burst out a small bud.

Then, a light aroma instantly permeated through Ethereal Summit.

The pure white flower bud bloomed with a bright glow, looking like white jade. Just by looking at it, one could feel that it was not an ordinary object.

All the plants in the valley seemed to be cleaned immediately. The other spiritual herbs in the spiritual fields grew tremendously, and even the normal gra.s.s became as pretty as emeralds.

The snow lion cubs roared as their fur turned from white to gold, and their demonic cores that weren't condensed gradually solidified in this vibrant atmosphere.

Xie Yujia who was making elixir elixirs in her cave abode felt like the meridians of her body were cleansed, and her control of Life-Death Notes became faster.

Duan Yao who was cultivating in her cave abode also sensed a refres.h.i.+ng aura pa.s.sing through her body, and it helped her make a small breakthrough.

Lu Linlin and Lu Lili were already at the Soul Formation Realm and wouldn't be affected as much, but they knew that this was the sign that the Seven-Core Five-Color Lotus was about to mature.

Pa! Pa!

Following the Seven-Core Five-Color Lotus in the middle, the other two Seven-Core Five-Color Lotuses that were moved away also grew out two small flower buds.

The three lotuses, a big one and two small, released an enlightening fragrance.

The surrounding spiritual herbs seemed to lose their colors instantly!

The three small sects outside of Ethereal Summit saw that the array formation around Ethereal Summit was emitting a gentle radiance.

Even though this radiance was light, it spread very far.

Hao Ren sat inside his cave abode and isolated himself from the outside to solidify his mid-tier Xun-level strength.

Xie Yujia quickly struck out hundreds of dharma notes and finally took out three level 6 pills from the furnace. Then, she promptly flew out of her cave to look at the Seven-Core Five-Color Lotuses in the spiritual field.

Lu Linlin and Lu Lili were already beside the spiritual field and paid close attention to the change of the Seven-Core Five-Color Lotuses.

Color began to appear on the white petals.

Whoos.h.!.+

Duan Yao also came out from her new cave above, and she was surprised when she saw colors beginning to appear on the petals of the Seven-Core Five-Color Lotuses.

The five colors represented the five elements of nature.

The color change was extremely slow and silent. However, without the catalysis of the celestial liquid, this process would take hundreds of years!

The radiance emitted from Ethereal Summit gradually changed from white toward the five colors of white, red, black, green, and yellow. These colorful lights almost dyed the entire Fifth Heaven.

If this happened in the past, the cultivators on Fifth Heaven, Sixth Heaven, and Seventh Heaven would come and check out the situation. However, even though these grand cultivators were extremely curious and surprised right now, no one dared to come to this forbidden area.

The maturing process of three Seven-Core Five-Color Lotuses was quite tranquil and not tense at all. Yet, the calmer it was, the more nervous people were.

n.o.body knew if the Seven-Core Five-Color Lotuses, which were extremely sensitive to the nature essence, would suddenly wither.

Pop!

The Seven-Core Five-Color Lotus in the center bloomed, and a gigantic lotus appeared.

Its petals contained the five colors, and the center was a black seedpod.

On the surface of the seedpod, there were seven circular holes which were absorbing the nature essence.

Lu Linlin and Lu Lili squeezed their hands together nervously, and Xie Yujia also put both of her hands in front of her chest and breathed carefully.

The two Seven-Core Five-Color Lotuses on the sides bloomed as well, but the lotuses and the black seedpods were smaller.

Other than emitting colorful brilliance, nothing else was going on.

The brilliance was also very weak. If Ethereal Summit didn't have this array formation, the colorful lights wouldn't be projected out that far.

Xie Yujia and the others stood still and didn't move at all; it seemed like the time froze.

Even those snow lion cubs also didn't move.

Unexpectedly, these lotuses that were natural dharma treasures and were beyond top-tier spiritual herbs didn't have any special energies around them after they matured, and the colorful petals gradually turned into a regular white color.

If Xie Yujia and the others didn't stare at them, they couldn't be able to tell these three lotuses apart from insignificant water lotuses.

If they grew inside a pond and were mixed in with the other miscellaneous flowers and weeds, no one would pay attention to them.

Even the Soul Formation Realm cultivators couldn't sense their nature essence.

Also, since these lotuses would only grow around top-tier spiritual herbs, why would cultivators pay attention to ordinary-looking lotuses when they discover other top-tier spiritual herbs?

Puff!

As a few lotus leaves fell into the water, they immediately grew into a large field of lotuses.

Xie Yujia was about to get excited, but she suddenly realized that these lotuses were ordinary lotuses.

The three Seven-Core Five-Color Lotuses hid in the ordinary lotuses. If Xie Yujia and the Lu sisters didn't pay attention, they almost couldn't find them.

However, this wasn't a big issue. Since the Seven-Core Five-Color Lotuses were extremely tough, they could find them after chopping down all the ordinary lotuses. However, no cultivator would be bored enough to chop down ordinary lotuses when they encountered other top-tier spiritual herbs?

The Seven-Core Five-Color Lotuses were extremely rare, and not many cultivators knew of them due to their excellent disguising abilities.

The sky gradually darkened, and the petals of the three Seven-Core Five-Color Lotuses fell off. In this process, more and more lotuses grew out one after another.

The black seedpods finally fell off the two small Seven-Core Five-Color Lotuses on the side. Lu Linlin and Lu Lili's two Yin-Yang Bracelets packed them up and sent them to the Lu sister's hands.

The Lu sisters peeled the seed pod and took out a black lotus seed from each seedpod.

The two lotus seeds were like two small black pebbles and didn't have any fluctuation of nature essence. No one would notice if they fell inside a pond. However, they were both 10,000-year-old.

Lu Linlin and Lu Lili looked at each other and finally smiled with relief. No matter what, they already had two mature 10,000-year-old lotus seeds. They didn't have to worry too much even if the 100,000-year-old lotus ran into issues.

As they were just thinking, the black seedpod that was as big as a human's hand in the large Seven-Core Five-Color Lotus finally fell.

Xie Yujia was anxious, and she ran over and held onto the seedpod before das.h.i.+ng out.

All the celestial liquid was completely dried up, and those ordinary lotuses also withered. A ditch was revealed in the spot where the Seven-Core Five-Color Lotuses grew.

Xie Yujia picked out the big lotus seed. After she shook the seedpod more, three small lotus seeds fell out.

“Big Zhumu, you are very lucky. You can nurture these three lotus seeds again in the future,” the Lu sisters said with a smile.

The two lotus seeds that they took out were not that matured, and that was why there were no more lotus seeds inside. Yet, the one that Xie Yujia picked had absorbed enough nutrients, and the big lotus seed nurtured three small lotus seeds.

Xie Yujia smiled and put the three small lotus seeds inside her bracelet. She knew clearly that it would be extremely difficult to nurture Seven-Core Five-Color Lotuses again.

“Gongzi! The lotuses are matured!”

Lu Linlin and Lu Lili flew to Hao Ren's cave abode and shouted.

Hao Ren was cultivating, and he was slightly surprised when he heard the Lu sisters. Then, he ran out immediately.

The Lu sisters opened their hands and revealed two black lotus seeds.

The black and white Yin-Yang Bracelets were suddenly put away, and the isolated Ethereal Summit also removed its blockade.

“Ah! Ya…”

Zhao Yanzi who was on her Purple Green Treasure Sword fell with her head down from the sky.

She returned to the East Ocean Dragon Palace and stayed there for a day. Seeing that Third Uncle was unwilling to step out of the secret chamber and seemed to be alright, she flew back to Fifth Heaven quickly because she was concerned about Hao Ren.

Unexpectedly, the array formation around Ethereal Summit was closed off, and she couldn't break through even though she had the key that Zhen Congming gave her.

While she was suspecting that an accident happened and tried to ram into the array formation anxiously, the array formation suddenly opened. This made her fall upside-down from the sky.

Hao Ren reached out his hands and rushed to the sky like a sharp arrow to catch Zhao Yanzi.

“Geez!” When Zhao Yanzi discovered that Hao Ren caught her right at her chest, she immediately reacted and shoved Hao Ren's hands away.

She stepped back onto her Purple Green Treasure Sword and flew toward Xie Yujia awkwardly while ignoring Hao Ren.

“Was it successful?”

“Um!” Xie Yujia raised her hands and show Zhao Yanzi the black, smooth, yet unsymmetrical lotus seed.

“Third Uncle was alright. What do you plan to do next?” Zhao Yanzi's blush faded away slightly. Then, she turned around to looked at Hao Ren and asked.

She was now clear that Hao Ren was more important to her than her third uncle. Even though Hao Ren was safe on Fifth Heaven, she was worried when she didn't see Hao Ren for a day.

If Zhao Kuo learned that a decade of treating Zhao Yanzi well was not comparable to Hao Ren's one year of love, he would spit out another mouthful of blood in anger.

“I won't use it on Fifth Heaven. I'll go to the East Ocean Dragon Palace to plant it,” Hao Ren said.
