Chapter 308: Loot

Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated

Hao Ren created a red energy sphere and leaped up more than ten meters. After kicking the wall, he leaped again and landed on the wall of the skyscraper on the opposite side.

The whole process was quick and light. After four leaps, he reached the top of the highest skyscraper in the area.

Without the red energy sphere, people would have seen him and thought that he was a superman in the city!

In fact, Hao Ren didn’t have a choice. Although he had reached Zhen-level, he didn’t have a flight dharma treasure. If he wanted to fly, he needed Little White’s help. However, Little White was now lying on the rug beside Xie Yujia’s bed…

The umbrella formed by the 80 sword energies hummed and forced the two cultivators onto the top of the skyscraper.

With his hands behind his back, Hao Ren was surprised to see that the two people who flew against the rules were two mid-aged cultivators.

Caught red-handed, the two cultivators were shivering all over. They enjoyed quite high rankings in their own sect, but this was their first time scouting near First Heaven. They had flown around the East Ocean City and encountered no obstacles. Thus, they grew bold and then were caught by Hao Ren.

It was their first-time standing on the land. Under Hao Ren’s stare, they were extremely uneasy.

“You…” Hao Ren opened his mouth and was about to ask them something.

The top-tier Core Formation Realm cultivator suddenly kneeled before him and said, “Please forgive me! Please spare my life!”

The other cultivator beside him followed suit. He kneeled and was even about to kowtow.

Hao Ren had just reached Zhen-level which was equivalent to the Core Formation Realm, but he was technically a low-tier Core Formation Realm cultivator. He didn’t know what to do with them as he looked at them.

He thought that he should lecture the cultivators who flew against the rules as the assisting inspector, but he didn’t expect that these two cultivators were actually scouts from Fifth Heaven.

He also didn’t know about the complicated situation on and above Fifth Heaven where it was ruled by the law of the jungle, especially on Fifth Heaven where most of the smaller sects resided. The cultivators in Core Formation Realm could get killed the moment they stepped out of the door of their sect.

In comparison, the world under Fifth Heaven was a paradise for cultivators. Although it was far from Ninth Heaven and the essences weren’t abundant, there were a lot of sea resources, and the land mass was huge. Most importantly, the world was peaceful.

Hao Ren, who lived in the paradise, couldn’t understand the fear on these two cultivators’ minds. He looked at them and didn’t know how to question them.

Seeing Hao Ren remaining silent with a cold face, the two cultivators got more scared. The top-tier Core Formation Realm cultivator immediately took off his storage bag from his belt and placed it near Hao Ren’s feet respectfully.

The other cultivator also took off his storage bag and placed it before Hao Ren.

“Ok! You can go now. Don’t fly around without permission in the future!” Hao Ren was baffled at their drastic acts and waved his hand.

As if they were pardoned from the death penalty, the two cultivators immediately drew out their swords and flew away.

They shot up into the high sky like two reverse shooting stars. Obviously, they were fleeing with all their might, afraid that Hao Ren would change his mind.

Watching them disappear into the white clouds, Hao Ren shook his head and sighed with exasperation, “Inspectors are really powerful. They are so scared of me…”

He picked up the two storage bags and opened one of them.

The storage bags were spatial dharma treasure. However, compared with items like storage rings and the storage necklace that Hao Ren had, the storage bags were inferior, and the space was much smaller.

With his five-elemental nature essence, Hao Ren opened the first storage bag and found a golden eight-trigram disk, a short sword, a mid-tier spirit stone, more than a dozen low-tier spirit stones, some elixir pills, and a wooden badge.

Hao Ren picked up the heavy wooden badge and saw several ancient characters on it: White Sand Sect – Elder Tianyi.

Baffled, he opened the other storage bag and found a few bottles of elixirs, a few dharma notes, and a wooden badge made of the same material as the previous one.

White Sand Sect – Elder Yuxin.

Obviously, the second storage bag had fewer items compared with the first one, but it was still his loot. Hao Ren tossed the two storage bags into his necklace and thought, “Are there sects that weak? It is ridiculous that these cultivators with such weak cultivation strengths could be elders.”

It never occurred to him that they belonged to the sects on Fifth Heaven.

He was not familiar with the power structure of the world of cultivation on and above Fifth Heaven. If all the forces on and above Fifth Heaven were a group, then the forces on Fifth Heaven were only at the bottom of the pyramid. If one sect had several elders in the Core Formation Realm, it was quite a powerful sect. If one sect had a cultivator in the Nascent Soul Realm, that sect was the master of the area.

The purpose of Fifth Heaven was to deliver talents, dig treasures from the mines, and grow all kinds of spirit herbs for the sects in upper heavens.

On Sixth Heaven, the number of Nascent Soul Realm cultivators was much larger, and it was common for Nascent Soul Realm cultivators to become elders of the sects. The entire Sixth Heaven had about dozens of Nascent Soul Realm cultivators.

On Seventh Heaven, there were only seven to eight sects where each of them occupied five to six mountains with abundant resources. In each of the big sects, there were dozens of Nascent Soul Realm cultivators. Seventh Heaven had several hundred Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, and some of the sects even had Soul Formation cultivators.

Further up was Eighth Heaven where there was only one sect, God Cloud Dao. One could only imagine its great power.

That was why the dragon cultivators except for the metal-elemental dragons could only reach Seventh Heaven. If they flew further up, they would enter Eight Heaven which was the territory of the God Cloud Dao. If dragon cultivators who weren’t from the Metal-Elemental Dragon Clan trespassed the God Cloud Dao’s territories, they would be struck back to First Heaven by the patrolling cultivators with lightning; one could get injured or even killed from the strike.

Only dragon cultivators on the Heavenly Dragon Realm could soar in the Eighth Heaven. Metal-elemental dragons could enter Eighth Heaven only because one of their senior elders had entered the Heavenly Dragon Realm hundreds of years ago.

With his current strength, Hao Ren was a master on Fifth Heaven, a mid-tier cultivator on Sixth Heaven, and a bottom cultivator on Seventh Heaven.

After putting away the storage bags, Hao Ren put on the red energy sphere and leaped back to the ground.

After looking around and making sure no one and no camera could see him, he withdrew the red energy sphere and walked toward Zhao Hongyu’s studio.

He was early, and no one was in the office for overtime yet. Hao Ren took out the key Zhao Hongyu gave him and unlocked the door. He straightened up the office and turned on the air conditioner and the water heater before reading at his desk.

Someone had made some notes beside his marks on the file that he had read the day before. He studied them and recognized Zhao Hongyu’s handwriting. Obviously, Zhao Hongyu had returned to the office last night to finish up some work and corrected his ‘homework’.

On the basis of Hao Ren’s marks, Zhao Hongyu gave him some suggestions. Hao Ren studied them carefully and got some inspirations. With her talent, Zhao Hongyu would have become a top-tier architect in the world even if she had been a mortal.

As time ticked away, five to six young employees filed into the office, and the elegant studio became lively.

Shortly, Zhao Hongyu walked into the studio in a wide striped T-shirt. She was dressed simply and elegantly with a matching silver-colored necklace and a red bracelet, highlighting her status as the boss.

Following her was Zhao Yanzi in denim overalls. Compared with the sweetly dressed school girls at her age, her style today was quite eye-catching.

Under the overalls was a white T-shirt, and she was dressed in the simple manner as her mom, lively and cute.

“Zi, do your homework here.” Zhao Hongyu led Zhao Yanzi to an empty desk next to Hao Ren, and she walked into her own office after smiling at Hao Ren.

Pouting, Zhao Yanzi put her bag on the desk and pulled out a thick pile of homework.

Seeing Hao Ren glancing at her, Zhao Yanzi wrinkled her nose and rolled her eyes before doing her homework with a frown.

Her ‘sisters’ in the office was familiar with the scene. They knew that the boss’s daughter Zhao Yanzi was a pretty girl who loved to play, and Zhao Hongyu would take her daughter to the office when she worked overtime, keeping an eye on Zhao Yanzi.

From her expression, Hao Ren knew that she didn’t know about the upheaval he and Zhen Smart caused in the West Ocean Dragon Palace yet. From Zhao Hongyu’s attitude toward him, he knew she didn’t know about it either.

When he looked at Zhao Yanzi who was sitting before him, he felt like her cultivation strength seemed to have increased in a short night.

While Xie Yujia was still loitering around level 3 and level 4, she was on the verge of breaking into the Foundation Establishment Realm!

“Big bad guy, what are you staring at?” Zhao Yanzi turned her head abruptly and glared at him,

In her overalls, she looked like an elementary school girl although she was, in fact, a middle-schooler. Zhao Yanzi’s big eyes widened, her eyelashes curled up slightly, and her dark eyes looked like two sparkling black diamonds.

“I was not!” Hao Ren denied.

“Humph!” Zhao Yanzi snorted, looking unconvinced. She turned her head and thought for a while before asking, “Did anything happen last time between you and that girl?”

“What do you think?” Hao Ren waited for a few seconds and said while she began to squint her eyes and purse her lips.
