Dragon King's Son-In-Law-Chapter 768: The Sealed Godly Spring
Swoosh! Swoosh! Several lights appeared in the high sky above Kunlun Mountain.
Hao Ren knew that the Soul Formation Realm cultivators had returned, and he urged the golden shield, "Go and find the godly spring!"
The golden shield was digging out a treasure from the ground, but Hao Ren shot a sword energy onto its surface.
It was knocked up for half a meter, and then it sensed the aura of Soul Formation Realm cultivators drawing near. It released dense lights to search for the godly spring which was probably be buried deeper in the ground.
Now that it had received enough benefits in Kunlun Mountain, it couldn't leave the mountain so easily if it didn't listen to Hao Ren.
Bang!
A crack suddenly appeared on the cliff wall behind a golden palace.
Hua... A clear mountain spring poured out from the cracked stone wall.
Stepping on the Ruyi Cloth, Xie Yujia flew over immediately and filled a porcelain bottle with the spring water.
When the spring water flowed into the pond in front of the grand palace, the snow lotus flowers all stood straighter.
"Who is it?"
The Soul Formation Realm cultivators had come back, and they all rushed into the core region of the mountain.
When they saw Xie Yujia was collecting the spring water, one of them shot out a dharma treasure and shattered the porcelain bottle in her hand.
Each flower and plant in Kunlun Mountain were left behind by the Queen Mother of the West, and even these Soul Formation Realm cultivators didn't dare to take them out. There was no way that they would allow trespassing cultivators to do so.
After receiving the alert from the female cultivators guarding Kunlun Mountain, the Soul Formation Realm cultivators had rushed back to catch the thieves. When they saw Xie Yujia and Hao Ren opening a mountain spring and collecting the spring water, they became furious.
Bam! About six dharma treasures crashed toward Xie Yujia and Hao Ren.
The Soul Formation Realm cultivators were afraid of breaking the items in here. Otherwise, they would have put more power in their dharma treasures.
Bang!
The golden shield suddenly released a circle of golden light, knocking away the dharma treasures.
It had got many treasures with Hao Ren's permission, which was why it wanted to return the favor.
"Celestial treasure!"
The two Soul Formation Realm cultivators at the front yelled in astonishment when they saw the power of the golden shield.
The barrier separating the core region from the other places suddenly opened, and hundreds of female cultivators rushed in after the Soul Formation Realm cultivators with swords in their hands.
Surrounded by the six Soul Formation Realm cultivators and hundreds of female cultivators who could create array formations, Hao Ren and Xie Yujia could never get out of their siege.
The female cultivators glared at Hao Ren with swords in their hands, wanting to see how Hao Ren would get punished!
However, Hao Ren calmly took out the Penglai Immortal Token and said, "Seniors, due to an emergency, I came here to obtain some of the godly spring water from the Ageless Godly Spring. I'm sorry for the inconvenience that I caused."
He was no match for them, but he didn't have to fight with them since he got the best token.
Sure enough, the Soul Formation Realm cultivators looked at each other when they saw the Penglai Immortal Token in Hao Ren's hand, and they looked astonished when they saw the mark on Xie Yujia's shoulder.
"I'm grateful toward the senior who gave me the spiritual herbs," Xie Yujia took the opportunity to express her gratitude.
"Don't mention it," an old cultivator standing in the front said in a husky voice.
Seeing Hao Ren's Penglai Immortal Token, these Soul Formation Realm cultivators knew that Hao Ren's background was extraordinary. However, different from their peers on Seventh Heaven, these Soul Formation Realm cultivators were independent and free from any sects in the world, which meant that their status was higher.
In other words, the Soul Formation Realm cultivators on Seventh Heaven probably were not qualified to enter Kunlun Mountain.
"Hurry up and greet this master." the husky-voiced old cultivator turned to the female cultivators and said.
Looking at Hao Ren, the female cultivators hesitated for a few seconds and called out in soft voices, "Master... Master..."
In the cultivation world, some cultivators enjoyed frighteningly great seniority despite their seemingly low realms and youthful looks due to the long lifespan.
Hao Ren smiled helplessly when he saw the female cultivators' expressions turning from resentful to respectful.
He turned his gaze to that old cultivator and asked, "So, can I fill another bottle of the spring water?"
Hearing his words, Xie Yujia took out another bottle to fill it with the spring water.
"Gongzi Hao, due to your connection with Kunlun Mountain, we don't mind you taking some spring water. However…" that old cultivator looked at Hao Ren and continued, "The core of this spring had been sealed off for many years, and this spring water is indeed precious, but it isn't the spring water from the Ageless Godly Spring that the Queen Mother of the West used to make the Immortal Elixir."
"Oh?" Hao Ren looked at him in surprise.
Having filled a bottle of this spring water, Xie Yujia stood up and sealed the bottle, looking surprised.
"The Ageless Godly Spring is located in the Kunlun Palace where the Queen Mother of the West lived. However, Kunlun Palace has been locked for countless years, and it's hard to say if the sacred spring still produces water or not," that old cultivator said.
The Kunlun Palace that he mentioned must be the grand palace built with gold and jade in front of the big lotus pond.
When Hao Ren began walking toward the palace, that old cultivator said immediately, "The palace is sealed up, and even we can't go in there. Gongzi Hao, if you want to damage the sacred palace, we won't stand by and watch."
That old cultivator looked serious when he spoke while the other five Soul Formation Realm cultivators released their auras.
The Queen Mother of the West sealed the Kunlun Palace, and it was connected to the lifeline of the world. If anything happened to it, the consequences would be earth-shaking.
No demons or devils dared to come into this place. If any demons or devils with evil essences touched the barrier which Hao Ren had walked through with the Penglai Immortal Token, they would be turned to ashes instantly.
These Soul Formation Realm cultivators' responsibility was to guard the palace against the human cultivators and dragon cultivators who couldn't be burned into ashes by the array formation of Kunlun Mountain. With their Soul Formation Realm strength, they were top-level masters and could perform the duty well.
Hao Ren could enter Kunlun Mountain with the Penglai Immortal Token, and they could do nothing about it. However, if he wanted to touch the Kunlun Palace, these Soul Formation Realm cultivators would never allow him to do so.
"Ok..." Looking at their expressions, Hao Ren knew that it was impossible to break into the Kunlun Palace by force. "Then, I'll go directly to the Queen Mother of the West."
Hearing Hao Ren's words, the Soul Formation Realm cultivators' expressions changed slightly, and the female cultivators looked astonished.
It sounded like Hao Ren could even go to the Heavenly Realm and find the Queen Mother of the West!
According to the news that they got, the Soul Formation Realm cultivators knew that Hao Ren was Zhen Yuan Zi's brother and the choice of the Heavenly Dao in the recent 500 years. However, it wasn't enough for him to meet the Queen Mother of the West who was the ruler of the Heavenly Realm!
At the Soul Formation Realm, they knew a little about the secrets in the world. Despite his high seniority, Zhen Yuan Zi wasn't someone who had top-tier power.
Of course, these Soul Formation Realm cultivators couldn't afford to mess with Zhen Yuan Zi, but the big decisions in the world were made by the real ruler, the Queen Mother of the West!
If Hao Ren angered the Queen Mother of the West, even his brother Zhen Yuan Zi couldn't protect him!
"Hehehe... Thank you for understanding, Gongzi Hao." That old cultivator cupped his hands, ready to see them off.
Hao Ren looked at these Soul Formation Realm cultivators and then turned his head to look at the Kunlun Palace, knowing that even the Heavenly Dragon cultivators or Soul Formation Realm cultivators couldn't open it.
He had no choice but to try his luck in the Heavenly Realm!
Taking Xie Yujia's hand, he flew out of Kunlun Mountain.
The golden shield flew out after Hao Ren at a relaxed pace.
While looking at Hao Ren, that old cultivator shook his head slightly and thought, "The disciples of Qingfeng is quite reckless."
Then, he suddenly thought about something, "Will Qingfeng send Hao Ren above Ninth Heaven? It had been a long time since the last cultivator ascended. This kid would be knocked down even though he is Zhen Yuan Zi's brother."
Passing Heavenly Tribulations and ascending into the Heavenly Realm were two different things nowadays. Even these Soul Formation Realm cultivators didn't have the power to ascend!
Whoosh! Hao Ren flew out of Kunlun Mountain with Xie Yujia and dashed toward East Ocean City.
Since Grandma had woken up, he hurried back to the hospital for fear that she would fall back into unconsciousness.
Feeling Hao Ren's anxiety, Xie Yujia held his hand tightly while they flew.
She understood Hao Ren's feeling. He wouldn't feel so anxious if Grandma passed away peacefully at 80 or 90 years old. However, Grandma had been in good health in her sixties before getting hurt by that devil dragon! Hao Ren felt very guilty for not protecting his grandma.
Many people took everything that others did for them for granted and blamed all the bad things to fate instead of trying their best to change the situations.
Hao Ren wasn't one of them.
While Xie Yujia thought about all that, Hao Ren had taken her back to the hospital. After removing the energy sphere, they dashed toward the stairs.
"Grandma!"
Hao Ren rushed into the ward and yelled anxiously.
In the ward, Zhao Yanzi, Zhao Hongyu, Zhao Guang, Yue Yang, Hao Zhonghua, and the little girl who was changed from Little White were keeping Grandma company.
Having woken up from the coma, Grandma was talking with Zhao Hongyu. When she saw Hao Ren, she lifted her hand with a smile. "Ren, I'm fine."
"Grandma..." Entering the room after Hao Ren, Xie Yujia called out as well in a gentle voice.
"Good girl!" Grandma lifted her dry hand and patted Xie Yujia's head lovingly.
Little White was sitting on a chair beside Grandma and crunching away at a big apple.
Anxious to see Grandma, Zhao Yanzi hadn't taken time to pick clothes for her. Instead, she chose a set of fluffy and loose clothes that looked like a rabbit for Little White.
"I'm fine. You can all go and buy yourself something to eat. I have Ren to keep me company." Grandma glanced around and said.
After asking Grandma to take care, everyone except for Hao Ren filed out of the ward. Seeing Little White still eating the apple on the chair, Zhao Yanzi grabbed the two ears of her rabbit blouse and dragged her out.
Even though Xie Yujia was reluctant, she walked out after Zhao Yanzi.
Looking at Hao Ren who had fatigue written all over his face, Grandma didn't ask where he had gone with Xie Yujia. Instead, she picked up his hand and said gently, "Ren, I have to talk to you..."
