Chapter 655: Breaking Through the Nine Heavens with a Thought
Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated
After Lady Zhen and Su Han left, the house was still full of people. Grandma had always hoped for a house full of kids. Seeing Lu Linlin, Lu Lili, Xie Yujia, Zhao Yanzi, Zhen Congming, and Duan Yao in the living room, she felt delighted.
Without Lady Zhen’s suppression, Little White got more vivacious. After jumping on the sofa, it walked around on each beauty’s thighs.
Knowing it was a level 3 snow lion, Duan Yao didn’t dare to do anything to it since she was here all alone.
While people played cards, chess, and Play Station games, Hao Ren’s home was lively with a festive atmosphere.
Duan Yao had never felt such an atmosphere since the cultivators in Sky Mountain Sect spent all their time cultivating. The only festive occasions were the small competitions every three years and big competitions every five years, which were the group activities of the sect.
She didn’t understand the Play Station games that Zhen Congming played but understood the Chinese Chess that Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi played. With better skills, Hao Ren kept defeating Zhao Yanzi, making the latter furious with humiliation.
Standing behind Zhao Yanzi, Duan Yao wanted to point out the key steps for her, but she stopped herself after thinking that she was enemy with Zhao Yanzi.
Even though she only watched and didn’t join their activities, Duan Yao felt the relaxed, festive atmosphere with some longing.
“So, this is the life of mortals…” She looked at Hao Ren and realized that the latter who was a super master that awed the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators on Fifth Heaven had turned into a modest junior in front of Grandma.
Due to the continuous rain, Hao Ren’s family and Zhao Yanzi’s family didn’t go out for dinner. Instead, they made a feast in Hao Ren’s house.
After dinner, Zhao Guang and Zhao Hongyu took their leave. Grandma was reluctant to see them go, but she couldn’t ask them to stay the night.
In fact, Zhao Guang and Zhao Hongyu were going back to the East Ocean Dragon Palace instead of their home in the city. Lady Zhen’s proposal of demon beasts that were above level 6 never appearing at the border between the Demon Sea and the area where East Ocean had control over would have a significant impact on the troop positions of East Ocean, and they must make some adjustments accordingly.
If demon beasts above level 6 never appeared at the east or the west border of the Demon Sea, it would relieve the pressure from East Ocean, and they could relocate some key forces to other places.
As to the low-level demon beasts, the troops of East Ocean could defeat them while using them to increase the soldiers’ battle experiences. Generally, the casualties each year should decrease substantially.
Lady Zhen could prohibit the high-level demon beasts from attacking the territory that East Ocean had control over, and it meant that she held a very high status in the Demon Sea.
However, such a figure had a relationship with Hao Ren… Zhao Guang and Zhao Hongyu had to put more value on Hao Ren.
“Ren, we’ll go now. Zi will stay here.” When Zhao Guang and Zhao Hongyu walked to the door, they said farewell to Hao Ren specifically.
“Goodbye, Uncle! Auntie!” Hao Ren waved his hand.
Sitting in the living room, Duan Yao pouted with a chill in her heart when she saw Hao Ren saying goodbye to the East Ocean Dragon King and Dragon Queen.
As the Fuma of the East Ocean Dragon Clan, which was one of the key forces in the Dragon Tribe, Hao Ren was engaged to the only daughter of the East Ocean Dragon King. That showed the great value that the East Ocean Dragon King placed on Hao Ren.
Hao Ren’s background was far superior to her Sky Mountain Sect, which made Duan Yao feel lost.
Even her master, Lady Zhen, appreciated Hao Ren, so Duan Yao doubted if she could take her revenge on Hao Ren.
“It’s late. Everyone, go to bed and rest after having such a long day,” Grandma returned to the house and said with a smile.
“Zi, you and Yao are of the same age. You two can share a room tonight,” Grandma instructed.
Zhao Yanzi looked at Grandma in surprise. After all, she and Duan Yao were mortal enemies. They wouldn’t want to sit on the same sofa, let alone sharing a bed.
“Duan Yao is younger than you. You must take care of her,” Grandma added after seeing Zhao Yanzi’s reluctance.
“Ok…” Zhao Yanzi agreed with a pout.
If not for Grandma’s instruction, she had wanted to sneak into Hao Ren’s room… but not sharing a bed with him.
The two rooms on the first floor belonged to Zhen Congming and Xie Yujia respectively.
On the second floor, Grandma took one room, Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang had another, and the third was Hao Ren’s.
It seemed like the rooms were not enough for them, but Grandma didn’t order Hao Ren to give out his room.
Yue Yang and Hao Zhonghua went up to the second floor to rest after hearing Grandma’s words.
Lu Linlin and Lu Lili looked at Xie Yujia and said, “Big Zhumu… Can we share the room with you?”
“Ok!” Xie Yujia agreed immediately.
Zhao Yanzi looked at Zhen Congming, but the latter just snorted and walked into his room with the Play Station in his hand; he wouldn’t give his room to others.
Zhao Yanzi curled her lips, thinking that Zhen Congming was not a generous boy, and that was why Wu Luoxue didn’t like him. If Zhen Congming shared a room with Hao Ren, there would be one room for the girls.
Little White trotted toward Zhen Congming’s room, but it hesitated at the door before slipping into Xie Yujia’s room.
“How about…” Hao Ren looked at Zhao Yanzi and Duan Yao and said, “You two stay in my room?”
Duan Yao looked at him in astonishment and thought while holding her breath, “Pervert! A real pervert!”
“I’ll sleep in the living room,” Hao Ren continued.
Hearing the last sentence, Duan Yao knew that she had overreacted, but she still stared at him weirdly, wondering if she would have to sleep in the room of her enemy whom she was determined to kill.
After thinking that she had to sleep on the big bed where Hao Ren had slept, Duan Yao felt uncomfortable all over.
However, she was a stranger here and didn’t have any nature essence. The safest place was Hao Ren’s home for the night.
“Hao Ren, you have been working hard and need a good night rest. Zi and Yao, you can share my room,” Xie Yujia said in a hurry as she thought that Hao Ren might not get a comfortable sleep.
Since both Zhao Yanzi and Duan Yao didn’t want to stay with each other all by themselves, they nodded to Xie Yujia’s proposal.
The Lu sisters looked at Xie Yujia, pleasantly surprised. They thought that the Big Zhumu had the final say.
It was crowded for five girls to sleep in one room, but it was only one night, and they were all slim.
“Ok. That’s settled then.” Hao Ren nodded and walked to his own room on the second floor.
According to the Lu sisters, his realm would come back after tonight, which meant that tonight was crucial.
After Xie Yujia took Zhao Yanzi and Duan Yao into her room, he could cultivate in his room without disturbance. Thinking that the side effects of the Poison Pill Plan would end soon, and his realm would come back, Hao Ren was excited.
Hua… It was still raining, making it impossible to see the full moon on the night of Moon Festival.
Hao Ren took off his shirt and sat on the bed cross-legged, cultivating the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll. Sword energies surrounded his body while the spiritual core which contained Zhao Haoran’s 1,000 years of cultivation strength shook slightly, in sync with Hao Ren’s nature essence circulation.
The Heavenly Dao is boundless, and Hao Ren’s mind was as vast as the sea.
“Lu Linlin and Lu Lili might have purposefully chosen the night of Moon Festival for me to break through.”
While he thought about this, Hao Ren raised his arms, and 160 sword energies flew out of the window, formed a chain, and brought up a sea wave that was as high as six meters before shooting out of the sea again.
Since the sword energies had Hao Ren’s spiritual senses on them, Hao Ren could see as if his eyes were on the sword energies. While the sword energies flew close to the sea surface, Hao Ren who sat in the room felt like he was flying on the sea surface swiftly.
Hua… The colorful sword energies shot toward the clouds with Hao Ren’s spiritual senses.
The huge and limitless clouds!
The 160 sword energies shot into 160 directions through the clouds, surging up layers of air currents.
Crack!
Disturbed by the sword energies, the clouds released tiny shafts of lightning. Instantly, the dark night was lit up!
Boom… the 160 sword energies turned into one light sword while many lightning bolts followed it.
Sitting in the room, Hao Ren felt as if tens of thousands of lightning bolts were chasing after him in the clouds!
It was thrilling!
If it were in the past, Hao Ren wouldn’t have dared to do this. However, he was re-cultivating and very proficient with the Light Splitting Shadow Sword Scroll, so the tens of thousands of lightning bolts couldn’t reach the light sword which was controlled by his mind.
Breaking through the nine heavens with a thought!
A sense of magnificence that he had never felt before rose in his mind, and the light sword which was made up of 160 sword energies suddenly split again.
The lightning bolts which had been chasing after the light sword suddenly lost the target and shattered, releasing tens of thousands of tiny lightning bolts onto the sea surface. They formed a natural formation between the sky and the sea surface for a few seconds.
After Hao Ren’s disturbance, the clouds within hundreds of kilometers instantly emptied their lightning energy. When the clouds scattered, the clear night sky and the snowy white full Moon were revealed
The bright Moon rose over the sea, making a great scenery.
The moonlight shimmered on the ocean waves while Hao Ren’s sword energies splashed up water on the surface of the sea as if Hao Ren himself was moving on the sea.
Feeling great, Hao Ren was on the verge of a breakthrough with the aid of the energy from the stars on this night of the full Moon!
