Chapter 715: Acquaintance~ (1.3 for 1 Chapter)
Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
Hao Ren had planned to give himself a break after the journey to the Nine Dragon Palace before coming to the Demon Sea if he couldn’t find enough spiritual herbs to cultivate the Seven-Core Five-Color Lotus.
However, his plan was interrupted when he fell to the dangerous Demon Sea after coming out of the Nine Dragon Palace in an exhausted state.
The big demon kings in the Demon Sea had their territories, especially the top ten demon kings who controlled most of the area of the inner sea.
The high-level demon beasts swimming near the surface looked harmless but were in fact spies for the big demon kings. When Hao Ren was picked up by that demon dragon, the information was immediately sent to Xuhao by some high-level demon beast.
When Hao Ren killed Xuhao with the power of the Nuwa Stone, it attracted the attention of the other big demon kings.
Hao Ren and Su Han were no match for big demon kings even when they were at their peak realms, not to mention that they were now severely wounded.
“Get out!”
Hao Ren opened the way with sword energies, splitting open the seawater. Having witnessed Hao Ren killing Xuhao, one of the top ten demon kings, the level 8 and 9 demon beasts didn’t dare to block him, and they fled from him one by one.
After placing her hands on Hao Ren’s shoulders, Su Han injected her metal-elemental and water-elemental nature essence into Hao Ren continuously.
She had recovered a part of her nature essence, but their enemies who were chasing them were no longer high-level fierce beasts in the Nine Dragon Palace but the demon kings who were equivalent to the Soul Formation Realm.
She only hoped that Hao Ren was familiar with the terrain of the Demon Sean and could get them out of this situation! It wasn’t in her plan to fall into the Demon Sea from the Nine Dragon Palace!
Swoosh! Su Han’s longsword drew a wave of green light while it shot through the seawater.
Above the sea surface, the big and small demon kings swept across the high sky like flying mountains, casting huge shadows on the sea.
The high-level demon beasts in the sea had all fled.
Waves of energy penetrated the seawater, trying to find Hao Ren and Su Han!
The quietness right now signaled the arrival of a great storm!
Hao Ren didn’t venture too deep into the Demon Sea while he fled with Su Han. The level 8,9, and even 10 demon beasts fled faster than they did.
The spirit senses overlapped with each other while they engulfed the deep ocean from the high sky.
Su Han bit her lip, not expecting that she might die in the Demon Sea which even heavenly dragons didn’t dare venture into after just escaping from the Nine Dragon Palace.
Five to six big demon kings and dozens of small demon kings surrounded tens of thousands square kilometers of area, and even Daluo Golden Immortals couldn’t escape from this.
“The person who could kill Xuhao is not an ordinary figure, and the colorful light that shot into the clouds must come from a great treasure!” the demon kings thought to themselves.
Lady Zhen had recently taken in a young disciple who went around and took the souls of demon kings. Even some big demon kings were killed, forcing the other demon kings to stay home in fear.
Now that Xuhao was killed quickly, the demon kings suspected that it meant Lady Zhen had begun to deal with the demon kings who were in the top ten, and that was why they all came out to investigate.
“Celestial island!”
Right before Hao Ren was about to be located by spirit senses, he saw a mountain-shaped shadow on the sea surface!
The celestial mountains in the Demon Sea didn’t have fixed locations. Like the cultivation sects that hovered in the high sky, these islands hovered above the sea surface.
Seeing a celestial mountain floating on the sea surface, Hao Ren felt as if he had seen a life-saving straw.
Disregarding the spirit senses of the demon kings, Hao Ren flew up with Su Han but found that it was an empty mountain!
More than ten demon kings were dashing toward them from different directions.
As soon as Hao Ren got out of the ocean, he was located by all the spirit senses!
Meanwhile, 18 black lights flew from another direction.
Lady Zhen had sent out her 18 demon generals to pick up Hao Ren!
Some of the small demon kings who were rushing at the foremost were shattered into dust by the black lights.
Having never seen such a scene, Su Han looked at Hao Ren in panic.
Not a stranger to the battles in the Demon Sea, Hao Ren shot over without hesitation when he saw a dark grey circular door on the empty mountain.
The battle between the demon kings was earth-shaking. Since Hao Ren didn’t want to be picked up by Lady Zhen for the time being, his priority was to get out of the battle safely!
Hum!
The dark grey rusty circular door looked as if it hadn’t been used for years, and it sucked Hao Ren and Su Han in with lights flashing around it.
The Penglai Immortal Token hanging at Hao Ren’s belt released a pale light, which was the key to unlocking the teleportation array!
If Hao Ren hadn’t seen a teleportation array in the Sun Yun Martial Arts Dojo in East Ocean City, he wouldn’t have guessed that this was the teleportation array often used by human cultivators!
Seeing Hao Ren and Su Han disappearing in the teleportation array, the demon kings got furious and shot out a wave of fierce lights, shattering this empty mountain which had appeared from nowhere.
In the blink of an eye, Lady Zhen’s 18 demon generals dashed into this area from a distance and attacked.
A messy battle began!
Hum… Su Han felt dizzy. When she opened her eyes again, she found that she was standing hand in hand with Hao Ren in a forest with singing birds and fragrant flowers.
“Master, didn’t you say that you wouldn’t see Hao Ren again until he reaches the Heavenly Dragon Realm?”
A crisp voice entered Su Han’s ears gently.
She looked up and saw two kids who stood beside an old man who was quite ugly, and they were looking at her and Hao Ren in curiosity and bafflement.
“Hehehe… I could ignore him, but I must save the girl,” the old man patted the two kids’ heads and comforted them with a laugh.
The two kids who were as cute as pearls looked reluctant.
When Hao Ren left Penglai Island, the two kids who were serving Zhen Yuan Zi didn’t like the fact that Hao Ren, a young cultivator who hadn’t even reached Soul Formation Realm, would become their uncle-master. Zhen Yuan Zi had told them that if Hao Ren came back to the Demon Sea as a cultivator below the Heavenly Dragon Realm, he wouldn’t be able to find the Penglai Island.
However, when Hao Ren came to the Demon Sea suddenly, Zhen Yuan Zi not only revealed the Penglai Island but sent out the teleportation array to pick Hao Ren up. The two kids were very unhappy about it.
“Senior, thank you for saving us.” Hao Ren retained his balance and said while he cupped his hands at Zhen Yuan Zi.
When he was surrounded by a group of demon kings, an empty mountain with a teleportation array appeared suddenly on the sea. He knew without a doubt that the rescue had come from Zhen Yuan Zi.
Although he had met Zhen Yuan Zi only once, the latter saved him as soon as he put on the Penglai Immortal Token, which touched Hao Ren’s heart.
“Hahaha… It’s in destiny that we meet again.” Zhen Yuan Zi laughed heartily while stroking his beard. Then, he waved his hand, and Hao Ren and Su Han flew into the peach orchard.
Su Han looked at the ugly old man in bafflement, wondering about his identity and background.
“Qingfeng, Mingyue, go and pick two Immortal Fruit for our guests,” Zhen Yuan Zi lowered his head and said to the two kids beside him with a stern face.
“Got it! Master!” The two kids turned immediately and ran toward the dense forest angrily.
In their mind, their master was the leader of all Earthly Immortals, and even Soul Formation Realm cultivators must kneel and greet him with respect. However, these two young cultivators didn’t kneel to their master, and their master also welcomed them in person and gave them Immortal Fruits.
The two kids got angrier while they mulled over this.
“Sit down!”
Zhen Yuan Zi waved his sleeve, and a few stone chairs and a stone table appeared in the peach orchard suddenly.
In this celestial mountain full flower fragrance, there was no trace of the danger which was abundant in the Demon Sea.
Su Han even doubted if she were still in the Demon Sea.
If she walked to the edge of Penglai Island, she would see that the celestial mountain was hovering in the midst of the high sky instead of floating on the sea surface!
Hao Ren could find Penglai Island last time because Zhen Yuan Zi had wanted him to see it. If the latter hid the Penglai Island, Hao Ren would never have found it even if he searched the entire Demon Sea!
Su Han looked at Hao Ren and then at Zhen Yuan Zi before sitting on a stone chair cautiously.
Her purple sweater and black tights had been soaked, but her clothes had dried quickly with the recovery of her nature essence
“This friend has got a nice treasure,” Zhen Yuan Zi studied Su Han with squinted eyes and said with a smile.
Su Han looked at Zhen Yuan Zi warily while her expression turned ice-cold.
The two kids came out of the nearby forest with a fruit platter in their hands and returned to Zhen Yuan Zi’s side.
When they saw Su Han’s cold expression, they were both astonished and furious since no one had ever dared to do this to their master!
“This girl’s realm is only at top-tier Qian-level, and it is equivalent to peak Nascent Soul Realm,” They thought. They had seen lots of visitors of this realm, and none of them dared to be so disrespectful to their master!
“Qingfeng! Mingyue!”
Seeing the two kids glaring at Su Han, Zhen Yuan Zi’s tone turned a bit displeased.
Qingfeng and Mingyue lowered their heads and returned to Zhen Yuan Zi’s side.
“Friend, don’t worry. I’m a friend of your father, and I do not need your treasure,” Zhen Yuan Zi said to Su Han with a laugh.
His magnificent presence was emitted invisibly. Although he didn’t release any suppression, Hao Ren and Su Han still sensed his ethereal realm which was beyond this world.
Su Han nodded slightly and said, “I’m relieved to hear that, Senior. It’s not that I’m greedy and want to keep this treasure. I have borrowed it with great efforts and must return it intact.”
Her answer was reasonable and well-measured, showing her good grace.
Hearing her words, Zhen Yuan Zi nodded with satisfaction. “Despite the minor desire, you can still keep yourself aloof from treasures. That’s good.”
He admired Su Han for not trying to keep the treasure. More importantly, she was able to suppress her curiosity and didn’t take this opportunity to ask about her father.
“This girl will become a great figure in the future,” Zhen Yuan Zi thought. He was able to figure out Su Han after hearing only a few sentences.
“These are special products from my island. You may try one,” Zhen Yuan Zi pointed at the two Immortal Fruit on the stone table and said to Hao Ren and Su Han.
“Thank you for your hospitality, Senior.”
After taking the two fruits, Hao Ren handed one to Su Han and stuffed the other into his mouth.
He had been to Penglai Island before and knew that Zhen Yuan Zi wouldn’t offer anything not good; it would be a waste if he didn’t eat it while he could.
“Thank you very much, Senior.” Su Han sensed the intense nature essence in the fruit when she took it in her hand. Glancing at Hao Ren who had swallowed half of the fruit already, she smiled helplessly and took one bite to savor it carefully.
The purest nature essence entered her body from the fruit.
Requiring 3,000 years to bloom, 3,000 years to grow fruits, and another 3,000 years to mature, the Immortal Fruits were the godly fruit among all spiritual fruits. It was a great fortune for Hao Ren and Su Han to eat one!
Standing behind Zhen Yuan Zi, Qingfeng and Mingyue watched Hao Ren and Su Han eat the fruits and swallowed their saliva.
“Ok, ok! You two, go! Each of you eats one as well.” Seeming to have sensed their hunger, Zhen Yuan Zi waved his hand toward the forest.
The two kids ran toward the forest without any regard for their manners as if they were afraid that Zhen Yuan Zi would go back on his words.
Hao Ren had been starving in the Nine Dragon Palace, but this little Immortal Fruit filled his belly and replenished his nature essence instantly.
Su Han felt the same. All her internal and exterior injuries had healed, and even her skin looked smoother.
However, her realm stayed at top-tier Qian-level, which was a test from Zhen Yuan Zi who didn’t want to elevate her realm with spiritual fruits.
Instead, the effects of the Immortal Fruits would slowly show in the future, which was why Qingfeng and Mingyue were so excited to have the chance to eat one as well.
Taking almost 10,000 years to mature, the Immortal Fruit would show its effects slowly in cultivation. The younger the cultivator, the greater the benefits.
“Friend, do you remember my words? I have said that if you come to Penglai Island again, we will swear loyalty to each other and become blood brothers 1.” Zhen Yuan Zi waved his long sleeve and said to Hao Ren slowly.
Qingfeng and Mingyue who were walking out of the forest while eating the Immortal Fruits almost dropped the fruits onto the ground when they heard Zhen Yuan Zi’s words.
