Dragon King's Son-In-Law-Chapter 755: The Cycle of the Heavenly Dao

The result of Su Han and Zhao Kuo's battle would spread like an explosion toward every single corner of the Dragon Tribe.

East Ocean's generals and elders went back with Zhao Guang, and they would need to discuss their strategy moving forward.

Zhao Yanzi stepped on her sword, but she didn't return to the East Ocean Dragon Palace but flew to East Ocean University with Hao Ren.

She was agitated because she didn't think that her invincible third uncle would lose to Su Han.

It was a massive shock to the East Ocean Dragon Clan that Zhao Kuo couldn't charge at the Heavenly Dragon Realm. Then, Hao Ren and her marriage wouldn't be so smooth.

The East Ocean Dragon Clan was on the rise, but this trend stopped all of a sudden.

However, they couldn't blame Su Han; it had nothing to do with Su Han either. It was hard to tell who would win or lose in the battle between the masters.

Yet, only about one dragon cultivator could become a Heavenly Dragon cultivator in 1,000 years on average. This meant that the strongest dragon cultivator within 1,000 years would have the highest chance of succeeding.

Zhao Kuo and Su Han both wanted to find some inspiration from the battle. In a way, this was also a pre-selection match of charging at the Heavenly Dragon Realm.

Zhao Kuo and Su Han both knew very well that whether or not the winner could succeed in charging at the Heavenly Dragon Realm, the loser wouldn't have a high chance.

Xie Yujia stepped on her white Ruyi Cloth and followed Hao Ren, feeling gloomy as well.

Hao Ren's fate was connected to the East Ocean Dragon Clan's, and that was why she was also worried about the future of the East Ocean Dragon Clan.

Duan Yao followed Hao Ren with no expression on her face; she was not connected to any of this.

Lu Linlin and Lu Lili flew beside Hao Ren; they didn't care about Zhao Kuo and only cared about Hao Ren.

Hao Ren was silent as he stepped on the golden shield and flew forward quickly.

Su Han and Zhao Kuo didn't get severe injuries, which meant that his deepest worry didn't occur. Yet, he also didn't expect that Su Han was a bit stronger than Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Kuo's defeat also disrupted all the plans.

Peng!

While everyone followed Hao Ren and flew toward East Ocean City, Hao Ren suddenly changed his direction and flew toward a high elevation.

The golden shield reached its peak speed instantly and drew out a golden line.

Xie Yujia and Zhao Yanzi were slightly shocked and quickly chased after Hao Ren. Lu Linlin and Lu Lili twisted their waist lightly and followed.

Those young cultivators were shocked when they saw Hao Ren and others moving in this traveling speed. After seeing them disappearing into the clouds, they talked to each other and land in East Ocean University.

"Hao Ren!"

Xie Yujia and Zhao Yanzi yelled at the same time, but they could only see Hao Ren's blurred figure.

Duan Yao hesitated for a bit before flying toward Fifth Heaven.

Hua… Hao Ren flew into Fifth Heaven and rushed inside Ethereal Summit.

Due to the effect of the outer and inner array formations, the nature essence intensity in Ethereal Summit was on par with Seventh Heaven. It was more than ten times the nature essence intensity on land.

All sorts of spiritual herbs flourished in the spiritual fields in the center of the valley.

The three Seven-Core Five-Color Lotus already grew out new leaves in the spiritual pond which was composed of the combination of top-tier spiritual herbs.

The power of the array formation around them melted these spiritual herbs gradually and turned them into the liquid form. This made the three lotus seeds the best environment to grow.

This liquid could be called celestial liquid. One drop could make the effect of a spiritual herb increase by hundreds of years, and a few drops were could increase the medicinal effect by thousands of years.

"Gongzi, it was a success!" Lu Linlin and Lu Lili dashed inside Ethereal Summit and saw the Seven-Core Five-Color Lotuses with new leaves.

"Um…" Hao Ren's mood was a bit depressed, but it was slightly better when he saw these three Seven-Core Five-Color Lotuses waving their leaves.

The difficulty in nurturing Seven-Core Five-Color Lotuses was abnormally high. Even Sky Mountain Sect that was famous for nurturing spiritual herbs only had the record in ancient books. They might not succeed even if they were given enough materials.

Now that the three seeds all sprouted and were growing, it seemed like they weren't far from maturing.

The celestial liquid which was made of many spiritual herbs ashes and top-grade spiritual herbs acted as the fertilizer, and the three Seven-Core Five-Color Lotuses had absorbed a small portion. For them to fully mature, the celestial liquid that could bring dying spiritual herbs back to life would eventually all be absorbed by them.

Hao Ren thought for a bit and threw the remaining level 10 demonic cores into the celestial liquid to replenish the nutrient.

The level 10 demonic cores emitted bright and colorful light and were soon melted within the celestial liquid.

These demonic cores were rigid and similar to crystal bead. Even if Little White were to digest a demon core, it would take her a few days.

Yet, this celestial liquid dissolved the demonic cores instantly. It was clear that the celestial liquid had extreme power. If cultivators touched it with bare hands, they would melt right away!

However, the three Seven-Core Five-Color Lotuses were growing steadily in the celestial liquid; they were ultra-tough.

With the addition of the several demonic cores, the leaves of the three Seven-Core Five-Color Lotuses had changed slightly and became greener just like a top-tier jade carving.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Zhao Yanzi, Xie Yujia, and Duan Yao who were slightly slower entered Ethereal Summit one after another.

Xie Yujia was very surprised when she saw the Seven-Core Five-Color Lotuses were more than ten centimeters tall and had grown new leaves.

Duan Yao was shocked when she saw the Seven-Core Five-Color Lotuses as well. Sky Mountain Sect was known for nurturing lotuses, and that was why she knew that the best lotuses in the world were Seven-Core Five-Color Lotuses.

Yet, she had only heard of this type of lotus and never seen one in person. Unexpectedly, Hao Ren's valley nurtured the legendary and holy lotus.

Due to their unique attributes, they couldn't be used to make elixir pills, and cultivators wouldn't be able to consume them directly. It could only be used to create five-elemental dharma treasures, but very few cultivators could use such dharma treasures.

Duan Yao looked at Hao Ren in confusion and didn't know why he was nurturing the Seven-Core Five-Color Lotuses that even Sky Mountain Sect couldn't nurture.

Zhao Yanzi's mood was bad as well, but she immediately paid attention to the three shiny plants when she saw them.

"According to this speed, they will mature in five days," Xie Yujia said.

She thought it would take about ten days originally, but Hao Ren threw level 10 demonic cores inside. This raised the nature essence intensity of the celestial liquid, and the growth speed became even faster.

Demonic cores also contained tremendous demon essence, which was the essence absorbed by demon beasts. Now, they were released into the celestial liquid to become nutritious fertilizer.

According to Sky Mountain Sect's way of nurturing, the fastest time to nurture a Seven-Core Five-Color Lotus would be around 100 years. However, Hao Ren added ten types of top-tier spiritual herbs and an enormous amount of spiritual herb ashes into the celestial liquid. In addition, there were also level 10 demonic cores, which should make these lotuses mature in a few days!

Certainly, the consequence was that all the celestial liquid which were precious would be absorbed completely.

"Besides, these are 100,000-year-old Seven-Core Five-Color Lotuses," Lu Linlin added when she heard Xie Yujia.

The 100,000-year-old spiritual herbs were burned in Nine Dragon Palace by Qiu Niu, but the golden shield absorbed the ashes and spat them out in Ethereal Valley, forming the celestial liquid.

This celestial liquid was enough to add a few hundred years to all the spiritual herbs on Fifth Heaven.

Duan Yao slightly widened her eyes; she didn't expect these lotuses to be on the level of 100,000-year-old.

Sky Mountain Sect had nurtured Seven-Core Five-Color Lotuses during its prime, and they had to consume various types of top-tier spiritual herbs, but the success rate was only 50 percent. Yet, Hao Ren had three here!

"Can we… reduce it to three days?" Hao Ren thought for a bit and asked.

Xie Yujia looked at Hao Ren in surprise.

The Seven-Core Five-Color Lotuses would be nurtured in five days, and this was already extremely fast. However, Hao Ren still wanted to reduce it to three days. Could it be that…

"I want to plant the mystic crystal before Su Han charges at the Heavenly Dragon Realm," Hao Ren said. He turned his head slightly to look at the Lu sisters and Xie Yujia. "A 10,000-year-old lotus should be good enough."

"Gongzi…" Lu Linlin and Lu Lili looked at Hao Ren and felt like it was such a pity.

It was a significant difference between 10,000-year-old and 100,000-year-old. Seven-Core Five-Color Lotuses could only be nurtured given the right time, location, and people, and they might not be capable of appearing again within thousands of years.

Decreasing a 100,000-year-old spiritual herb to a 10,00-year-old spiritual herb for only two days…

Duan Yao also felt that Hao Ren was too impatient. She saw Hao Ren as her enemy, but she didn't know why she still hoped that he could nurture a 100,000-year-old Seven-Core Five-Color Lotus.

"Su Han picked her day carefully, right?" Hao Ren asked.

Lu Linlin and Lu Lili frowned, calculated carefully, and looked at Hao Ren in surprise. "Gongzi, how did you know? The Heavenly Dao is the weakest on that day!"

In fact, Hao Ren was only guessing. A cultivator on Su Han's realm would have a sense of connection with the Heavenly Dao. That was why Zhao Kuo prepared early for his Heavenly Tribulation.

"The Ancestral Dragons would be alternating in three days," Lu Lili said.

"What does that mean?" Hao Ren asked.

"The God Dragon has nine sons. Eight of them guard eight directions, and the other one wanders around the world. Their positions rotate every 500 years, and Heavenly Dao will be loosened on that day," Lu Linlin said.

They shouldn't tell Hao Ren these secrets, but they didn't see Hao Ren as an outsider. Also, it was fine since they would be punished when they return anyways.

"500 years ago, that metal-elemental dragon cultivator successfully ascended to the Heavenly Dragon Realm on this date as well," Lu Lili said.

Hao Ren knew that Qiu Niu was the one who was on his 500-year vacation. He wondered who would be freed next…

"I will plant the mystic crystal in three days," Hao Ren sent out two sword energies and picked out two Seven-Core Five-Color Lotuses from the left and the right.

Lu Linlin and Lu Lili were shocked, but they soon understood. Hao Ren took out two lotuses and focused on nurturing one. That would help this one become 100,000-year-old in three days.

They persisted on three lotuses and didn't think of this.

Giving and taking were apart of the Heavenly Dao. Having three lotuses become 10,000-year-old, or having just one becomes 100,000-year-old; those were the choices.
