Swoosh…

The golden shield shot out waves of golden light and followed Hao Ren closely.

Having reached the Four-Petal Realm, Hao Ren’s power was equivalent to that of a Heavenly Dragon cultivator or a Soul Formation Realm cultivator, which convinced the golden shield that Hao Ren had a bright future!

After it blocked one green light for Hao Ren at the heavenly gate of the Heavenly Realm, it was awed by the power of the immortals in the Heavenly Realm. When it saw Hao Ren breaking the heavenly gate and sensed that another battle was coming, it just fled.

However, it now followed Hao Ren shamelessly!

Hua! Hua! Hua!

Hao Ren flew toward the Dragon God Shrine through the soft clouds!

After the battle with the devil dragon, the Dragon God Shrine’s white platform had a big piece broken from it, and its uneven shape looked like a broken cookie from a distance.

However, the enormous black palace in the center was intact, and it still released waves of pressure.

When Hao Ren got near the Dragon God Shrine with Xie Yujia, the golden shield which had been following them closely suddenly released waves of golden lights as if it were challenging Dragon God Shrine on Hao Ren’s behalf.

Seeing that Hao Ren had leveled up to the Four-Petal Realm, this little shield seemed to have found its master, and it tried to work hard to show its worth!

However, Hao Ren hadn’t agreed to be its master yet!

When a supreme spiritual treasure took someone as its master, it must obey the master unconditionally. Meanwhile, the master must cherish this treasure as well.

Although the golden shield had help Hao Ren a lot, its habit of fleeing from danger made Hao Ren look down at it.

Hum… Hum…

The golden shield flew ahead of Hao Ren and Xie Yujia, releasing brighter golden light. It was enthusiastic rooting for Hao Ren to show its intention of taking Hao Ren as its master.

Hua…

In their black robes that had five-clawed gold dragon embroideries, the nine Deputy Shrine Masters suddenly rushed out.

After several days of resting and receiving aid from the Shrine Master, they had forced out the devil essence which had entered their bodies when they were battling with the devil dragon.

Different from them, Su Han had been attacked by Taiyi Cave Master when she was passing the Heavenly Tribulation, and the devil essence had entered her major meridians. Even the Shrine Master was powerless and had to send her to East Ocean City and ask Bai Ze, the demon doctor, for help.

“You’re not allowed to enter the Dragon God Shrine without permission!”

The nine Deputy Shrine Masters blocked Hao Ren’s way.

“I’m here for an appointment with the Shrine Master!” Hao Ren answered.

Humming with golden light, the golden shield seemed to be seconding his words.

“No one but inspectors can enter the Dragon God Shrine!” Yue Zilong glared at Hao Ren and said.

Hao Ren let go Xie Yujia’s wrist gently, and the golden shield went over and supported her.

“I’m here to take back the ultimate treasure of East Ocean!” Hao Ren said slowly and released his aura abruptly.

Heavenly Dragon!

The nine Deputy Shrine Masters who stood hundreds of meters from Hao Ren looked horrified.

“Hao Ren has reached the Heavenly Dragon Realm!” they thought.

They didn’t know that Hao Ren not only had reached the Heavenly Dragon Realm but had gone to the Heaven Realm! He almost fought with the Queen Mother of the West!

Old Grandma who sent him there was a Six-Petal Realm cultivator, and he received help from the last dragon cultivator who charged into the Heavenly Dragon Realm hundreds of years ago.

“Go!”

Hao Ren released five sharp swords which knocked away five peak Qian-level cultivators who stood in the foremost of the group.

Yue Zilong was astonished when he saw the other five peak Qian-level Deputy Shrine Masters being sent away.

Then, he glanced at Xie Yujia who stood beside Hao Ren on the golden shield which was a celestial treasure. He found that she now had the Ultimate Yin Physique, and chilling energy was being emitted from her body!

Hua!

While he stood there in shock, Xie Yujia pulled open her bow and shot a golden arrow at him, the one-time counselor.

Nascent Soul Realm!

Yue Zilong raised his hands to catch the golden arrow but was sent flying!

Swoosh! Swoosh…

Xie Yujia shot out six sharp arrows afterward!

The three top-tier Qian-level cultivators each got two arrows!

Since she had regarded herself as Hao Ren’s wife, Hao Ren’s opponents were her enemies!

Before the three top-tier Qian-level cultivators could react and shoot out their dharma treasures, they were sent flying for hundreds of meters!

After turning into the Ultimate Yin Physique, all her cultivation obstacles had been removed. With the power of Qingfeng Hermit’s dharma notes, she had reached the Nascent Soul Ream when she got out of bed this morning!

Only after one night, she had overtaken Zhao Yanzi. Of course, with Zhao Yanzi’s Pure Water Physique, she would reach the Nascent Soul Realm eventually.

According to Old Grandma, the Nascent Soul Realm was only the beginning of cultivation! Reaching the peak Nascent Soul Realm and obtaining the three-petal lotus vital soul was the first step in becoming an immortal!

Hua! Hua!

Yue Zilong and the other Deputy Shrine Masters of the Dragon God Shrine could do nothing but watch Hao Ren and Xie Yujia rushing into the Dragon God Shrine.

For some reason, the nature essence intensity was much thinner than before in the Dragon God Shrine.

The inspectors who usually bustled around in the shrine were nowhere to be seen.

The open, quiet, and bright Dragon God Shrine looked like a forbidden sacred shrine with no one in the building.

In the small room at the center of the great hall, Elder Luo was nowhere to be seen.

When Hao Ren and Xie Yujia landed on the ground, echoes resonated in the building non-stop.

“What’s happening?” Hao Ren felt weird. He had prepared to battle his way in, but to his surprise, there was not a single inspector in here!

No wonder he had seen no inspectors going in and out of the Dragon God Shrine when he was outside on the platform!

Hua… The nine Deputy Shrine Masters rushed into the Dragon God Shrine anxiously. Hao Ren looked back at them before rushing toward the top floor with Xie Yujia.

The interior of the Dragon God Shrine was undamaged and very tidy. Despite the absence of blood, it looked as if it had been plundered, which unsettled Hao Ren.

It was Xie Yujia’s first time inside the Dragon God Shrine. When she ran up the stairs with Hao Ren, she felt like she couldn’t activate any nature essence.

The Deputy Shrine Masters couldn’t move their nature essence as well. Since they couldn’t fly inside the Dragon God Shrine, they could only run toward the stairs and chase after Hao Ren.

Running up around the massive pillar in the center of the Dragon God Shrine, Hao Ren got to the top floor. Then, he ran along the corridor and dashed into the secret chamber where the Shrine Master lived.

The Shrine Master sat there quietly as if he had merged into the stone. Hao Ren looked at him and felt nothing, which made him doubt if the Shrine Master was still alive.

“Take 20 strikes.” The Shrine Master suddenly flew up and stabbed a black sword at Hao Ren.

“Careful!” Xie Yujia cried out.

Startled, Hao Ren immediately retreated half a step while the five-elemental swords dashed from his body before combining into a five-colored Tiangang Sword!

Tink!

When the two swords collided, the sword in the Shrine Master’s hand didn’t break!

When the nine Deputy Shrine Masters rushed into the secret chamber, they saw that Hao Ren was already engaged in a battle with the Shrine Master.

Mystic Water Sword Techniques!

Hao Ren didn’t reserve any strength and used the entire set of Mystic Water Sword Techniques which he had understood.

The Mystic Water Sword Technique had 32 strikes altogether, and each contained 18 variations!

One! Two! Three strikes!

Standing at the doorway, the nine Deputy Shrine Masters were dumbfounded.

Facing Hao Ren’s Mystic Water Sword Techniques, the Shrine Master looked calm with the long black sword in his hand. With one hand holding the sword, he placed the other hand behind his back.

His movements were as swift as lightning while his sword flashed!

The nine Deputy Shrine Masters had never seen through the Shrine Master’s strength!

With widened eyes, Xie Yujia watched the battle with wonder. Each of Hao Ren’s sword strike seemed to have the power to pierce the Shrine Master who was wearing a long robe with six-clawed gold dragon embroideries, but the latter blocked each of the strikes miraculously!

18! 19! 20!

Tink!

Hao Ren was forced back half a step.

The Shrine Master took a step forward and stabbed the huge black sword at Hao Ren’s chest like a nimble slim snake.

Xie Yujia gasped and was about to shoot arrows at the Shrine Master when Hao Ren turned his wrist and blocked his rival’s sword before using the 21st sword strike.

30! 31! 32!

Hao Ren knocked the black sword away from the Shrine Master’s hand, and it pierced a hole in the ceiling of the Dragon God Shrine.

The sunlight shone into the dark secret chamber on the top floor.

“Not bad,” the Shrine Master said slowly.

While regulating his messy nature essence silently, Hao Ren put away the five-colored sword, surprised that the Shrine Master was so powerful. When they got to the 32nd strike, he had finally truly understood the Mystic Water Sword Techniques!

It was more like a practice fight than a battle between rivals. The Shrine Master had been helping Hao Ren understand his sword techniques!

An ordinary Qian-level cultivator wouldn’t be able to block a single strike from Hao Ren since each of the 32 strikes of the Mystic Water Sword Techniques contained 18 variations, but the Shrine Master had easily blocked all of them!

“You win. You may take back the treasure.” The handsome Shrine Master looked at Hao Ren mildly and said lightly.

“Shrine Master!”

The nine Deputy Shrine Masters called out together, trying to dissuade him.

“Not another word.” The Shrine Master glanced at them casually and stomped his foot lightly.

Crack… The stone floor beneath his feet shattered.

The golden top of a pillar was revealed.

This secret chamber was on the very top of the pillar which ran through the entire Dragon God Shrine.

Intense nature essence rushed into the broken secret chamber instantly.

“This is the treasure of your East Ocean!” The Shrine Master looked at Hao Ren and said, “Take it!”

“Master!” the nine Deputy Shrine Masters cried out again anxiously.

The Shrine Master stood there with his hands clasped behind his back, ignoring them.

Hao Ren slowly squatted down and placed his hand on the smooth surface of the top of the pillar, finding that the cold-looking metal pillar was hot against his hand!

He slowly closed his eyes and felt the super huge treasure that went beyond his imagination with his mind and heart.

Hum… Hao Ren emitted a wave of white light while the mark of the four-petal lotus appeared on his forehead.

Hualala… Hao Ren’s Tiangang energy reacted to the treasure.

“Are you ready?” the Shrine Master asked.

“I’m ready,” Hao Ren answered.

Xie Yujia watched Hao Ren nervously, afraid that the treasure would change in some way since Zhen Congming had told her that some super powerful treasures would fight back if someone tried to take them by force.

“Up!”

Hao Ren suddenly flew up and drew the treasure from the Dragon God Shrine.

Stepping on the golden shield, Xie Yujia also flew up immediately.

Golden on the two sides and silver in between, this treasure had a length of hundreds of meters and a width of dozens of meters!

Crack! The Dragon God Shrine which was hundreds of meters high and built with many huge black stones emitted traces of white light before collapsing like building blocks.
