Hao Ren’s realm reached mid-tier Xun-level, and his spirit senses also increased substantially.

However, after breaking through a realm, it usually required some time for the realm to stabilize. Hao Ren didn’t have time to stabilize his realm when he suddenly leveled up to mid-tier Xun-level in the Nine Dragon Palace. When he reached the top of Origin Dragon Grand Palace, he fought a fierce battle against Qiu Niu, and that was why his body was injured severely.

In addition, Hao Ren used Zhao Haoran’s 1,000-year cultivation strength, which almost destroyed his body. If not for Zhen Yuan Zi’s Immortal Fruit, Hao Ren’s body, meridians, and dragon core would have collapsed.

First strike, second strike, third strike… 16th strike!

Hao Ren’s spirit sensors spread out continuously in the jade slip and could see 16 out of the 32 strikes.

Although Hao Ren was surprised, he quickly memorized and practiced every single strike. Even though these sword strikes were complicated, it wasn’t difficult if one put enough effort into learning them. The most troublesome part was that it was hard for the spirit senses to spread into the jade slip and read more sword strikes.

In this palace deep in the Demon Sea, Hao Ren could suddenly see through 16 strikes. How could he not grasp this kind of opportunity!

Su Han thought Hao Ren was asleep because the latter lay on the bed and wasn’t moving at all. She immediately concentrated and studied the Sky-Patching Scroll.

Nuwa Stone could only be borrowed temporarily, but this Sky-Patching Scroll could be cultivated for an eternity. Although this cultivation technique was short, it was a few hundred or thousand times better than the Ice Frost Scroll that she was cultivating now.

Su Han had already cultivated her Ice Frost Scroll to the highest level, and she could switch her focus and cultivate other supplementary cultivation techniques. The Sky-Patching Scroll required the cultivator to be female but didn’t have other requirements.

Su Han held her breath, stayed focused, and tried to cultivate the Sky-Patching Scroll. She suddenly discovered that the amount of nature essence required for cultivating this scroll was beyond her imagination!

Clouds of white mist condensed around Su Han. She followed the first few sentences of the cultivation technique and got very tired and sweaty quickly.

She thought about passing this cultivation technique to Xie Yujia and Zhao Yanzi, but she just found out that top-tier Qian-level strength was required to cultivate this ancient scroll. At Su Han’s current realm, she could barely cultivate!

However, this was good news to Su Han since she was worried that she didn’t have a better cultivation technique to cultivate. The appearance of Sky-Patching Scroll gave her a new goal to pursue.

Thinking about this made Su Han’s chest bulged as she moved the nature essence in her body and made them pass through the two critical acupoints on either side of her shoulders.

Then, a longsword which was as small as a tattoo shined with a green light on the back of her left shoulder as it sensed the change in Su Han’s body.

All the cultivation techniques were essentially stimulating the ancient bloodlines in the bodies. The cultivators who had thicker ancient bloodlines were better at cultivating these ancient techniques while the one with thinner ancient bloodlines weren’t as good.

The cultivation techniques were ranked based on their effect of stimulation the ancient bloodline hidden in the bodies.

Clearly, the ancient cultivators’ bloodlines were a lot better than the current cultivators. Therefore, most of the cultivators nowadays couldn’t cultivate ancient cultivation techniques.

A cultivator like Su Han who reached top-tier Qian-level was on par with the weakest ancient cultivators, so she could start cultivating the Sky-Patching Scroll.

However, the ancient cultivation techniques didn’t differentiate between the five elements. As long as nature essence could be absorbed, one could cultivate the ancient cultivation technique.

The Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll that Hao Ren cultivated was the cultivation of five elements, and the cultivation method was the closest to the hundun cultivation which ancient cultivators practiced. If Hao Ren’s realm reached Kun-level, he would have the most abundant nature essence to allocate. By then, he could cultivate most of the cultivation techniques stored in the Nine Dragon Palace!

With one sitting and the other lying down, they were both concentrating on their cultivation without disturbing the other. The scene was tranquil and peaceful.

“Queen!”

Suddenly, two maids yelled from outside of the room.

Hao Ren memorized the first 16 sword strikes and put away the jade slip. Su Han also heard the noises since it had been very quiet, so she stopped her cultivation immediately and opened her eyes.

Lady Zhen was wearing a colorful and gorgeous robe, and she entered the room with Duan Yao who wore the seven-color traditional dress.

Duan Yao’s expression changed slightly and looked at Hao Ren in disdain when she saw Hao Ren and Su Han resting on the same bed.

“Auntie,” Hao Ren rolled over, sat up, and greeted Lady Zhen.

“Um,” Lady Zhen nodded slightly and moved her gaze to look at Su Han. She said, “Ms. Su, if you like this tranquil resort, feel free to stay for a few more days.”

“I plan to do so,” Su Han said candidly.

She didn’t know Lady Zhen well, but this Demon Sea was an excellent place for cultivation.

“Ms. Su, you are pretty straightforward,” Lady Zhen smiled and looked at Su Han as she said, “I have a little request, but I don’t know if you are willing to accept.”

Hao Ren looked at Lady Zhen cautiously as he heard Lady Zhen’s words.

“If I am capable of doing it, I can definitely help,” Su Han said.

“May I take a look at the Nuwa Stone?” Lady Zhen asked the question directly.

Su Han hesitated for a few seconds because it sounded like Lady Zhen was about to take away her Nuwa Stone.

Lady Zhen stood beside the bed and looked at Su Han with a smile. Her eyes were filled with confidence.

“I’m not a stingy person. How about this? Ms. Su, if you are willing to lend me this godly item, I will spend some time and guide you through your cultivation. How does that sound?” Lady Zhen stopped for a bit and asked again.

In fact, Su Han didn’t have any other choice since she was in Lady Zhen’s territory. She couldn’t win a fight against Lady Zhen and couldn’t escape either. If Lady Zhen wanted to rob her, Su Han couldn’t guard the Nuwa Stone.

“Nephew, have I bullied you guys before?” Lady Zhen asked Hao Ren when she saw him looking at her.

Lady Zhen didn’t like explaining things, and she could have taken the Nuwa Stone directly. However, she was fond of Hao Ren. Besides, Hao Ren was the blood brother of Zhen Yuan Zi now, and Lady Zhen didn’t want their relationship to be awkward.

“Of course, it can be lent to you, but you have to return it,” Hao Ren said.

“Hahaha,” Lady Zhen covered her mouth and laughed lightly, “Am I that immoral in your eyes?”

She changed her tone and added, “If I want to rob it from you, I wouldn’t say borrow. Nephew, you can relax. Auntie won’t mistreat your lover!”

As she spoke, she gently tapped her finger.

Suddenly, the grey Nuwa Stone hopped out from Su Han’s storage ring, and Lady Zhen released a dash of light and grabbed it into her hand when it was about to break through the window and flee.

Duan Yao glared at Hao Ren, and no one knew why she was angry.

“Nuwa Stone ranks last in the ten godly items, but it should be enough,” Lady Zhen looked at the Nuwa Stone which was emitting five-colored lights as she murmured with a sorrow expression on her face.

When she turned and walked toward the door, Hao Ren asked in a hurry, “Can we go with you?”

Lady Zhen turned around, looked at Hao Ren, and hesitated for a few seconds. “Follow me if you want to.”

Hao Ren slide to the side of the bed.

Seeing that Su Han was still sitting foolishly on the bed, he grabbed her and pulled her down.

Since Lady Zhen wanted to borrow the Nuwa Stone, she must have her reason. Besides, Hao Ren thought that it wasn’t a coincidence that they fell from the Nine Dragon Palace to the Demon Sea.

All this time that he and Su Han worked hard in Nine Dragon Palace, they were helping Lady Zhen to fetch a godly item in the end!

After passing through many palaces, they arrived at the Taichi Palace.

There was nothing when they entered the palace. However, when Lady Zhen put her palms together and twisted them, the time and space in the palace seemed to be distorted instantly.

Hao Ren grabbed Su Han’s arm quickly. As both of them just got back their balance, a downward stone path appeared on the floor of the palace.

Duan Yao’s seemed to be surprised as well. It seemed like a person like her who had lived with Lady Zhen for a while also didn’t know that this mysterious passage existed.

“I don’t need to let you know about this, but I don’t want you to misunderstand me.” Lady Zhen walked toward the stone path and said at the same time.

Duan Yao didn’t hesitate and followed Lady Zhen.

Hao Ren and Su Han looked at each other, clenched their teeth, and followed. When they walked down, Su Han swung away Hao Ren’s hand slightly.

Hao Ren protected her several times and slightly touched her. However, she was still a strong woman and admired powerful masters.

If Hao Ren were able to become a heavenly dragon in the future, Su Han would definitely make Hao Ren accept her even if that meant she would have to pursue him!

Tap! Tap! Tap!

Lady Zhen walked in the front; her colorful robe was like a lantern in the dark, illuminating the deep stone path.

At the end of the stone path was a sealed stone room.

After Lady Zhen raised her hand and touched it gently, the heavy stone door opened automatically.

There was a circular secret chamber inside, and eight ever-lit lanterns were set up according to the pattern of the Eight Trigrams. A crystal coffin was placed on top of the Taichi in the middle of the stone chamber.

Hao Ren didn’t expect to see this and was stunned.

Obviously, Su Han didn’t expect this either. While she warned herself to keep some distance from Hao Ren, she couldn’t help but moved a few steps toward him.

Duan Yao widened her eyes and remained in the same spot, staring blankly.

A good-looking young man laid inside the crystal coffin. He had slender fingers, fine skin, and delicate facial features that were almost prettier than a girl’s.

He was wearing a blue robe and seemed like he was asleep.

“Don’t panic, Yao. This is my husband,” Lady Zhen turned her head and said to Duan Yao.

“Master’s husband…” Duan Yao blanked out for a bit and didn’t know how to address him. Then, she walked over and bowed three times respectfully.

“Get up.” Lady Zhen raised her hand slightly and supported Duan Yao without touching her. Her hand pointed forward softly, and the Kunlun Godly Lamp flew out from Duan Yao’s sleeve.

The lamp that was shaped like a godly bird landed on the top of the crystal coffin.

Lady Zhen made several gestures and put some energy into it. The ancient lamp emitted dazzling blue light, and a spirit came out from the crystal coffin.

The Kunlun Godly Lamp could collect souls and also pull out souls from bodies.

The soul that just came out of the crystal coffin was about to disperse, and Lady Zhen quickly sent out several dashes of light and lightened up the lamp.

“Qin, you will be resurrected today.” Lady Zhen smiled sadly and beautifully as she said to the good-looking young man’s soul that gradually solidified.
