Renhe Xiaobai broke through the sea surface and headed straight to the fifth layer of heaven. Hao Ren returned home every day, saying that he was busy at home, and Zhao Jiayin and the other three didn't find it strange.

In order to quickly reach level Gen or even break into level Dui, Hao Ren had been immersed in the fifth layer of heaven during this period.

Xiaobai left a trail of white light as he rushed towards the valley.

At this moment, the three sect leaders who had waited nearby for a day all turned their attention to where Hao Ren appeared.

However, before they could get close to him, Ruren had already dashed into an array formation inside the valley.

Could their speed keep up with Xiaobai's

The three sect leaders outside the valley abruptly stopped and looked at each other, unsure if this "senior" didn't want to see them or simply hadn't noticed them.

"Shall we send a transmission charm inside" asked Liu Sect Leader of Qingyin Sect cautiously.

"This speed... isn't it the escape speed of a mid-stage core formation cultivator" questioned Han Sect Leader, uncertainly looking at the other two.

In the fifth layer of heaven, core formation cultivators were already top-tier existences. They hardly ever saw core formation-level cultivators, let alone someone traveling at such a speed, which was clearly beyond the capability of a core formation cultivator.

They had all reached late-stage core formation and no matter how different their cultivation methods might be, they couldn't match this incredible speed. "This senior doesn’t seem to have come by flying sword but riding on a mount," said Song Sect Leader from Qionghua Sect after some hesitation.

"Did you see clearly" Han Sect Leader asked him urgently.

The three sects had mutual suspicions before due to the歸屬 of Medicine Valley, yet now they felt a sense of mutual dependence.

"I was closest to this senior and saw most clearly. His mount is a white lion," said Song Sect Leader seriously with a nod.

The "White Lion" Sect Leader Han pondered, "Could this senior be a high-ranking cultivator from the Sky Mountain Sect on the Sixth Level His mount is a snow lion."

"It's uncertain whether he's in the Core Formation stage or not for now, but if what Sect Leader Song said is true, then this snow lion should at least be a Tier 4 Spirit Beast, right" Sect Leader Liu cast a glance towards the other two sect leaders and asked cautiously.

Sect Leaders Han and Song exchanged glances. Neither of them could determine with certainty. All they knew was that the Sky Mountain Sect on the Sixth Level bred a large number of snow lions; any disciple who ranked higher than junior would be able to raise one as their mount. As for what level this speed belonged to, they didn't actually know either. After all, these sects from the Fifth Level hadn’t even seen many Spirit Beasts.

However, such a speed definitely wouldn’t be low-grade. It was rumored that Tier 1 Spirit Beasts could already compare to Core Formation cultivators. Based on this reasoning, this snow lion should probably be near Tier 4

"In any case, for one to have such a Spirit Beast, the senior’s status in his sect must certainly not be low," Sect Leader Song changed the subject and said.

The snow lion was a signature Spirit Beast of the Sky Mountain Sect on the Sixth Level. They all regarded Hao Ren as an excellent disciple of the Celestial Restraint Sect. It should be known that, to these small sects from the Fifth Level, the sects from the Sixth Level were like towering mountains. Furthermore, due to the Sky Mountain Sect’s expertise in breeding Spirit Beasts and cultivating spirit medicines, they had connections with several sects on the Seventh Level as well. This further made the Sky Mountain Sect stand out among the sects distributed across the Sixth Level.

Among dozens of famous sects from the Sixth Level, the Sky Mountain Sect was definitely one that could be mentioned from the Fifth to the Seventh Levels.

Upon this thought, all three sect leaders’ minds were spinning.

If this senior was merely a reclusive cultivator then it wouldn’t matter much. But since he clearly was a high-ranking disciple of the Sky Mountain Sect and could come down to the Fifth Level alone on business, his status within the sect must also be quite high. If they could leave an impression on him...

"I think we should visit this senior. Since this senior is temporarily residing in our Medicine King Valley, it’s only right for us to offer some hospitality," Sect Leader Liu of the Clarity Sound Sect ran her fingers through her tresses and said.

In comparison to their firm determination yesterday to reclaim the Medicine King Valley, the current attitude of these three sect leaders was like a complete 180-degree turn!

"Sect Leader Liu is quite right. I believe we should each return to our respective sects and prepare some gifts so as to meet this senior," Sect Leader Han immediately agreed.

Sect Leader Song mulled over it for a moment. Preparing a dozen or so flying swords was trivial, but if he could get the attention of this high-ranking disciple from the Sky Mountain Sect on the Sixth Level and become his foothold in the Fifth Level, then that would surely be greatly beneficial to their sect.

After discussing it up to here, the three sect leaders flew off in separate directions. Each had their own thoughts but none dared act alone. By banding together as a trio of sects, even if something went wrong, they could share the burden.

Hao Ren was unaware that there were precisely three sects hiding behind the valley. He also didn’t know that he casually setting up a cave abode here had already caused the three sect leaders to lose sleep for two nights in a row. With a happy heart, he entered his cave abode and saw that there was no sign of intruders, allowing him to finally feel at ease as he started cultivating.

Because of Zhen Ciming giving ... a protective array formation, the spiritual energy in Qixue Valley seems to have deteriorated.

The "Seven Stars Northern Dipper Formation" not only prevents cultivators from entering but also stops the leakage of spiritual energy. In other words, with such an array formation protecting this place, passing-by cultivators will find it hard to discover that there is a valley rich in spiritual energy here; they would simply think this is an ordinary valley and pass through after encountering some mist.

The same goes for the array formations set up around the three nearby sects. Lu L琳琳 and Lu 莉莉 rotated around for half a day but couldn’t enter the valley.

"Sister, this formation is so annoying! We have no idea what the young master is doing inside, and we can't find any way to break through it." Floating in mid-air, Lu 莉莉 said with some annoyance.

Lu 琳琳 helplessly comforted her. "This array isn’t weak; since it was set up by the young master, let’s not destroy it.” She is more impetuous than Lu 莉莉, but it seems that the latter wants to see Hao Ren more.

"Then what should we do" Lu 鶯莉 pursed her lips and looked at Lu 琳琳.

Lu 琳琳 smiled. "Let’s head back! Cultivators in the Core Formation stage can’t break this array formation, so it seems that the young master didn't want to be disturbed."

"Alright," said 鶯莉 reluctantly, but there was nothing else she could do.

These two nights while patrolling the valley, both of them felt Hao Ren absorbing spiritual energy from the valley at a rapid pace. Although they were happy for him, they also worried about his safety.

Closing themselves off to cultivate does indeed help cultivators quickly advance their realm, but it also makes them vulnerable when attacked.

"If anyone dares to harm the young master, I’ll fight him to my death!" As she flew with Lu 琳琳 toward the border between the Fifth and Fourth Heavens, Lu 鶯莉 kept mumbling.

Lu 琳琳 shook her head in amusement as they broke through the Fifth Heaven together. Although Lu 鶯莉 often said that Lu 琳琳’s Dao heart wasn’t stable, it was hard to tell who had a more human mind at this point.

The night was quiet; there was no wind blowing in the valley.

Hao Ren practiced for eight hours, or four periods of time. He successfully opened two new energy channels. Practicing in an area with abundant spiritual energy is indeed beneficial for advancement.

Even Little White used its innate abilities to absorb natural spiritual energy and strive toward the second stage. Actually, there are cultivation methods for beasts as well, but since Little White hasn’t developed any wisdom, it could only rely on itself to breathe in natural spiritual energy and gather the spirit force within its body for basic attacks; it couldn’t yet fully utilize the spirit force circulating inside its body.

Hao Ren had no experience or methods for nurturing spirit beasts, and he didn’t know how to use his own spiritual energy to nourish the spirit beast. Therefore, he could only communicate with Little White through simple actions; otherwise, given Little White’s rapid consumption of Spirit Pills as if they were beans, it would have already ascended to a Second Stage or even Third Stage Spirit Beast.

Exiting the cave abode, Hao Ren practiced his basic fist techniques three times in the tranquil valley and rehearsed several rounds of sword formations. Finally, he felt thoroughly refreshed.

In a pile of wildflowers in the valley, Little White rolled around and had fun. Since there were no other animals in the valley, it didn’t need to display its demonic beast’s dignity; it chewed on wildflowers while running with all fours.

This kind of behavior was just like that of a village dog.

The sword light retracted into the scabbard from Hao Ren's nape. This state where there is no sword but one acts as if holding a sword represented the realm of Sword Immortal.

"Little White, stop playing around and let’s go back!" Hao Ren grabbed the flower-covered Little White with one hand and tossed it into the air.

In mid-air, Little White performed a graceful somersault and landed as a dashing snow lion.

"Let's leave!" Hao Ren patted Little White on its butt, and in an instant, they shot out of the valley.

The three sect leaders hurriedly returned to their sects and carefully selected gifts, placing them in three treasure boxes at the entrance of the valley. However, in his haste to return to the First Firmament, Hao Ren didn’t even notice them.

A hundred miles away from the valley, a tiny golden lion suddenly roared so loudly that it almost knocked off the girl sitting on its back onto nearby peaks.

"Galga, what are you doing" The girl pouted and hugged Galga’s neck in protest.

This golden lion called "Rokka" stared in the direction where Little White had suddenly appeared and shook its head vigorously.

In that instant, it clearly sensed the aura of a fellow kindred spirit.

"Big Brother was sent to the Fifth Firmament by Master to look for spiritual veins, but he hasn’t returned after three days. How boring," said the girl while rubbing Galga’s forehead with her small hand and urging him on. "Feel around again to see if there's any sign of a snow lion nearby."

Just as she spoke, Little White carrying Hao Ren flashed past her from a few kilometers away.

"Snow Lion!" The girl cried out suddenly but then felt that something was amiss. "Such incredible speed! Could it be Senior Uncle’s ‘Pole Heaven’ No, that’s not right; how could a Six Stage Spirit Beast come here"ayin’s heart started pounding as he forgot what he originally wanted to say.At that very moment, Hao Ren's phone on the table vibrated.He had thought it was Xie Yujia calling to inquire about tonight'...
