Chapter 230: Third Uncle Cultivates the Same Technique!

Translator: Noodletown Translated  Editor: Noodletown Translated

Compared with the sword array formations, Hao Ren’s way of using his sword energies was pathetic!

He withdrew his Nature Essence and looked around. The bamboos on one side of the yard were leaning against each other, and the biggest bamboo had a big hole in it. The flowers and grasses were cut, and the clay pots were broken. The garage wall that was facing the yard had two big holes in it, and about a dozen deep holes could be seen on the ground!

It looked like the scene after a hurricane!

Hao Ren had not expected that the sword array formations would be so powerful. He was wondering how to apologize to Zhao Guang for the damage when he heard applauses from behind him.

He turned and saw Zhao Guang smiling at him while standing at the back door.

“Uncle, sorry for the mess,” Hao Ren looked around and apologized.

“It’s ok.” Zhao Guang smiled graciously. “You’re only at Li-level, right? I have never imagined that the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll could be so powerful. It seems that we judged it wrongly in the past, and it looks like Zhao Kuo made the right decision in choosing the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll over his previous cultivation technique.”

“Did Third Uncle also choose this cultivation technique?” Hao Ren was surprised.

“Yeah. He once teased you and found that your technique had great potential. Therefore, he took the technique with him when he left the Dragon Palace,” Zhao Guang said.

Hao Ren nodded. After failing the Heavenly Tribulation, Zhao Kuo had lost all of his cultivation strength, even though the array formations and the altar the East Ocean Dragon Clan put together saved his life.

However, the minimal five-elemental essences he had afterward gave him a chance to cultivate the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll which required steady cultivation of all five elements simultaneously.

Despite the slow speed of the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll, Zhao Kuo’s cultivation experience of the past 200 years would help him cultivate at a faster pace. After a few or a dozen years of hard work, Zhao Kuo would regain his great power!

Besides, East Ocean now had a stock of over 200 godly elixir pills.

For him, his failure was a blessing in disguise.

“Well, what are you guys talking about?” Zhao Hongyu walked to the back door, drying her hands; she had just finished washing the dishes.

When she saw the mess in the backyard, her eyes widened. Her beloved orchids only had a few leaves left!

“Ren’s cultivation strength has improved.” Zhao Guang looked at her, a little embarrassed as well. “The orchids… Tomorrow, I’ll go with you to get some replacements.”

“Since they are ruined by Hao Ren’s cultivation strength, I have no problem with it.” Zhao Hongyu smiled helplessly.

In fact, the orchids in the backyard had cost her hundreds of thousands of yuan. She poured a lot of attention into them and had planned to move them into the house that night, but…

“The backyard is too small for you. I thought you wanted to practice sword energies and didn’t expect it would be such a big upheaval. However, I will recommend one place for you to practice in,” Zhao Hongyu said.

“Where?” Hao Ren asked. His exhilaration dimmed at the sight of the mess he caused in the yard. He felt quite guilty and wanted to offer compensation, but he knew it was meaningless.

“I’m not mad at you for ruining the plants. If you want a spacious place to practice your techniques, you can to go to Elder Sun’s martial arts dojo downtown on Yingchun Road,” Zhao Hongyu said.

Hao Ren suddenly remembered that Elder Sun owned a large martial arts dojo among other businesses such as restaurants, vacation resorts, and yachts. The martial arts dojo was the place they trained guards for East Ocean’s companies, and it could provide a big space for Hao Ren to practice the large-scale sword array formations.

“Good. I’ll go there and have a look when I have time.” Hao Ren nodded.

Recently, the core elders of East Ocean had been extremely busy with the business of the Nine Dragon Palace, and Hao Ren didn’t want to bother Elder Sun before it was over.

“By the way, have you read the books yet?” Zhao Hongyu asked.

“I’m almost finished reading the books you gave me. However, I’m busy this weekend, and I’m afraid that I can’t help you in your studio,” Hao Ren answered.

“Ok. I can’t go there this weekend either. We can go next weekend.” Zhao Hongyu smiled mildly.

“Well, Uncle, Auntie, I’ll head back now,” Hao Ren said as he looked around at the ruined plants.

“Ok.” Zhao Guang and Zhao Hongyu nodded.

“Oh, one more thing.” Hao Ren stopped at the door. “If I agree to join Su Han in breaking into the Nine Dragon Palace, do you think it will be a violation of the rules?”

Zhao Hongyu and Zhao Guang hesitated for a few seconds.

“As an Inspector, Su Han has mastered many mystic techniques. You should be fine to go with her,” Zhao Guang said.

“If Lu Linlin and Lu Lili are willing to join you, it would be even better. They know a lot of stuff that we don’t and will give you a great advantage in the Nine Dragon Palace,” Zhao Hongyu added.

With so many forces trying to make a go at the Nine Dragon Palace, East Ocean would need to keep some forces in the East Ocean Dragon Palace to protect it. They would then send the rest of the elder to the Nine Dragon Palace. After all, more people going meant greater hope of getting treasures from it.

With Su Han leading the team, Hao Ren’s safety was guaranteed. If they could bring back another 200 to 300 godly elixir pills, the East Ocean Dragon Clan would be ultra-rich! If the pills were used properly, many cultivation masters would emerge in the next hundred years!

After getting Zhao Guang and Zhao Hongyu’s approval, Hao Ren began to make plans. If his last trip into the Nine Dragon Palace were a mock test, then the trip next week would be the formal exam.

The Trading Convention on Fifth Heaven was the preparation before the exam! Any cultivation sect with moderate power would want to enter the Nine Dragon Palace and find treasures.

“Please tell Zi that I’ll have no time to tutor her in the following days. I’ll resume the tutoring sessions next week,” Hao Ren said when he went out the door.

Zhao Hongyu and Zhao Guang nodded, knowing that he would immerse himself in preparations.

Zhao Guang had high hopes for Hao Ren after witnessing the great power of the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll. He imagined the awe-inspiring scene where a top-tier Qian-level Master like Zhao Kuo unleashed this technique at full strength.

The five-elemental eight-trigram array formation made of dense sword energies would defeat a troop of tens of thousands of cultivators, not to mention the Heavenly Tribulation.

Hao Ren had steadily opened a brand-new way of cultivation.

The more Zhao Guang thought about it, the more hope he had about East Ocean’s future.

Oblivious to Zhao Guang’s high hopes for him, Hao Ren took a bus and returned to school. Friday passed in reading, cultivating, and classes.

Then, Saturday morning came.

“Hahahaha!” Zhou Liren, who was sleeping in his upper berth, sat up abruptly and laughed. “Guys! It’s Saturday! It’s time for us to see the beauties in Xin’an City!”
