Chapter 699: About to Break Through~~

window quietly and suddenly said, "I saw you prepared very thoroughly for Zhao Linzi's tutoring materials."Hao Ren, who was deep in thought, raised his head to smile, “When it comes to anything relat...Chapter 699: About to Break Through~~

Hao Ranzi watched Duan Yao's resolute figure disappearing, feeling a slight pang of heartache as if she were seeing her own reflection.

Duan Yao had already reached the Nascent Soul stage, yet she had lost much more than gained.

Same age but different lives.

In just moments, Duan Yao disappeared into the layers of fog on the Fifth Sky. With her Nascent Soul stage cultivation, she wouldn't encounter any danger there and would naturally be met by Huashen Yingjiao upon returning to Myriad Demon Sea.

Actually, when Zhen Fei brought Duan Yao to the Fifth Sky, she didn’t force Duan Yao to return; Duan Yao could choose to stay in Heaven Mountain Sect. However, Duan Yao had made up her mind without any hesitation.

Hao Ren saw Duan Yao slowly vanish into the distant fog and sighed softly. He then sped up his spiritual energy, rushing from the Sixth Sky back to Misty Peak on the Fifth Sky.

Swish swish swish...

Suddenly, three golden rays shot towards Hao Ren.

Hao Ren hadn’t expected there would be an ambush inside the barrier. He quickly raised his arms in front of him. Suddenly, these three beams of gold light bypassed Hao Ren’s side.

Bang!

Three deep craters were blasted out on the stone wall of the valley.

Xie Yujia was surprised and clapped her hands over her mouth. After a few seconds of hesitation, she hurriedly shouted, "Are you okay"

Hao Ren and Zhao Ranzi went to the Sixth Sky, while Xie Yujia practiced archery in the valley. She didn’t expect them to suddenly return and almost hit them.

"I'm fine..."

Hao Ren waved his hand, bringing Zhao Ranzi down onto the grass.

The three light arrows Xie Yujia had just shot were incredibly fast. He hadn’t prepared for it and nearly got hit by them.

Xie Yujia looked at Zhao Ranzi, worried she might think it was intentional. However, Zhao Ranzi pursed her little mouth as if lost in thought.

Little White curled up in its den, desperately refining the tenth-grade demon core. Jin Guang Shield lay on a rock, exerting itself to convert the soul of the Demonic Vanquishing Stick.

The two usually noisy fellows were unusually quiet now.

"How’s your practice" Hao Ren asked Xie Yujia when he saw her embarrassed face flushed red.

"It’s okay." Xie Yujia awkwardly stuck out her tongue.

"Let me see," Hao Ren smiled and continued watching her.

Xie Yujia felt a bit embarrassed but still picked up her demon bow, with three light spots appearing between her fingers.

The Wuxing Life and Death Talisman could simulate various magical abilities, but given Xie Yujia's level, she didn't know how to use many of them. Overall, she imitated the sword beams that Hao Ren frequently used.

The three light spots shot out from the demon bow and instantly stretched into three short arrows.

Xie Yujia stared at the three arrows; with her finger protected by a mitten, she gently moved it, causing the arrows to suddenly change direction!

Arrows that had already been fired could still change direction!

"Right now, I can only control them in the same direction," Xie Yujia explained shyly.

Just as Hao Ren was slightly surprised, Xie Yujia moved her finger again and shot out another three arrows.

Ping! Ping!

With the protection and positioning provided by the mitten, she effortlessly fired two more sets of arrows.

In a blink, twelve arrows were launched!

Since there was no need to retrieve the bow and arrow, drawing back the bow became very simple. Xie Yujia's archery speed was faster than any mature archer from ancient times!

Six consecutive shots in three waves!

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The twelve arrows hit a distant cliff one after another, with each arrow shattering boulders several meters across!

Meanwhile, when Xie Yujia was shooting arrows, a red barrier automatically rose up to protect her.

Xie Yujia had such power at the Foundation Establishment stage; if she reached the Core Formation or Spirit Embryo stages, the arrows would be even more lethal!

If she fired an arrow with all her strength and used a tracking technique, even a Core Formation cultivator wouldn't dare to confront it directly.

Zhao Yanzi beside Hao Ren was secretly shocked by Xie Yujia's archery skills. She was at a higher level than Xie Yujia, but in real combat, she might not necessarily be her match!

Xie Yujia practiced diligently and this demon bow had become a proficient tool for her.

"And also... I've practiced that," Xie Yujia felt like she was showing off to Hao Ren when she blushed. She then pulled out the "Convenient Cloth" given by Hao Ren, spread it in her palm, and gently tossed it up.

Her expression serious, she silently recited an incantation while sending forth a talisman or rather, her spiritual energy from her palm. The carefulness of her actions showed that she was afraid to make any mistakes.

The white cloth unfolded like paper towels soaked in water.

A meter wide and long, the white silk still carried golden threads within it.

Xie Yujia lightly jumped and stepped onto the unfolded white cloth, which was soft like a cotton candy cloud.

Xie Yujia cautiously recited the mantra again. The wishcloth suddenly flew forward, and Xie Yujia lost her balance, landing softly on the wishcloth with her bottom. Without Xie Yujia’s control, the wishcloth stopped midair.

Xie Yujia awkwardly stood up and urged the wishcloth to move again; it moved a few meters forward before she wobbled and slid down again.

This clumsy and silly appearance was like someone learning ice skating for the first time.

Hao Ren smiled at her red-faced embarrassment, stepped on an air sword and flew over to grab her wrist.

Back then when Zhao Yanzǐ learned how to fly a sword for the first time, she had also stumbled around. Xie Yujia’s athletic talent was not as good as Zhao Yanzǐ's; therefore, it would definitely take her longer to learn.

Fortunately, this wishcloth was soft like cotton candy clouds, and even if you fell a few times from them, you wouldn’t feel any pain unless you were thrown off of them.

Xie Yujia flew slowly under Hao Ren’s guidance; her face turned red to the tips of her ears as she felt extremely foolish.

“It’s okay. Take your time,” said Hao Ren, guiding Xie Yujia forward little by little while ensuring that she wouldn’t fall off.

Zhao Yanzǐ stood on the grass and watched Hao Ren pulling Xie Yujia in the dark; it made her feel a bit sour inside.

When she saw how cute and small Xie Yujia’s flying treasure looked like a piece of white cotton candy, Zhao Yanzǐ even felt somewhat envious.

Xie Yujia kept half a meter away from the ground as Hao Ren guided her around the valley slowly.

Due to nervousness, she sweated in her palm and her face turned redder; she was feeling rather embarrassed too.

But how could Hao Ren mind her sweaty palms He held onto them tighter and carried her higher gradually.

In the past, when Xie Yujia had sat on Hao Ren’s treasure ship or Little White’s back, she wouldn’t be afraid. But now that she was standing on a wishcloth which she controlled herself, as it flew higher and higher over the valley, all she wanted to do was scream but held back.

Seeing how nervous and scared Xie Yujia looked made Hao Ren feel like he was accompanying her at an amusement park and playing thrilling rides; this made him want to laugh even more.

Xie Yujia appeared very mature in many aspects, but she still needed a boy’s protection as a girl.

“You’re sweating,” Xie Yujia felt embarrassed when Hao Ren held her hand tightly and pulled it out of his palm.

She controlled the white cloth to lower its height gradually.

This ancient cultivator’s treasure was similar to the demon bow, requiring the infusion of the Five Elements Spirit Energy, making only she and Hao Ren able to use them.

Zhao Yanzǐ might like it, but even if she tried controlling a wishcloth, it wouldn’t move an inch.

The name "convenient little wishcloth" suited this white cloth perfectly. With one-meter-long sides, the wishcloth could only accommodate one cultivator and couldn't carry another person.

This way, Xie Yujia had finally obtained her own flying treasure too.

With plenty of practice, in the future Xie Yujia will be able to stand on如意布and shoot arrows from various angles. Moreover, these arrows can come with a "Seal Spirit" effect!

"I want to break through! I want to break through!" Zhao Yanzi shouted somewhat reluctantly.

After Zhao Kuo’s guidance, she felt that she could steadily breakthrough to the Condensation Core realm. However, upon being continuously stimulated by Duan Yao and Xie Yujia, she discovered that her strength was the weakest!

Hao Ren helplessly summoned a sword beam and pulled Zhao Yanzi's arm, flying towards Zhao Yanzi’s cave dwelling on the cliff.

Xie Yujia thought for a moment. She stood on如意布and floated out of Mysterious Peak to find a quiet room at nearby Pure Sound Sect to cultivate in.

Since Zhao Yanzi wanted to breakthrough, Xie Yujia would not stay in the valley and avoid accidentally disturbing Zhao Yanzi's critical breakthrough.

The cultivators from Pure Sound Sect hurriedly welcomed Xie Yujia when they saw her stepping out of Mysterious Peak on a flying cloth.

Not to mention that Xie Yujia merely wanted to find a room for rest, even if this disciple of the Medicine King Ancestor were to occupy the chamber of the sect leader, they would gladly give it up!

In Zhao Yanzi’s cave dwelling at this moment, she hung up a curtain at the entrance and activated a simple soundproofing formation.

Her cave was decorated like a small boudoir. Stone floors were covered with velvet carpets, walls adorned with various decorations, and neatly folded cartoon plush quilts. Even if one didn’t cultivate here, sleeping there would be very comfortable.

The valley itself was already very tranquil; Zhao Yanzi’s activation of the soundproofing formation made it even quieter inside her cave dwelling.

Hao Ren had previously shared a room with Zhao Yanzi, but they were either at Hao Ren's place or Zhao Yanzi's. Another time, it was at Song Qingya's house. However, in this narrow cave dwelling far away from Donghai City in the Fifth Firmament Realm, there was truly an aura of lonely young men and women.

Hao Ren walked to the entrance and saw Xie Yujia stepping on her如意布and floating towards Pure Sound Sect. Now that the Fifth Firmament had stabilized, he didn’t think anyone would come to cause trouble for Mysterious Peak or its surrounding sects.

He then looked back at Zhao Yanzi and noticed she was already curled up in bed, with her colorful jacket lying beside her.

All the decorations were removed and placed on a stone table by the bedside. Even the hair tie was taken off, leaving her black tresses loose across her small shoulders.

By third grade, Zhao Yanzi had already developed a touch of charm.

The Purple-Qing Treasure Sword, Mount Heaven Sect's treasured possession and Zhao Yanzi’s weapon, leaned against the side of the bed for "warding off evil".

Breaking through from Foundation Establishment to Condensation Core was an important milestone in cultivation with many nuances.

Zhao Yanzi had been a quake-level cultivator before and after Zhao Kuo’s guidance, she felt confident about breaking through to the Condensation Core realm. However, she also worried something might go wrong, so she needed Hao Ren's protection during her breakthrough.

"I… am starting," said Zhao Yanzi with a red face as she stood up the cartoon plush quilt around herself and tossed out her light blue school uniform.

The first step in breaking through to another realm was being "unburdened", which meant that generally, only one’s closest senior cultivator could serve as protector during this process. those with mediocre talent but ruthless dispositions.Cultivators like Old Ancestor Hongyuan from small sects can struggle to reach the Nascent Soul stage within a few hundred years.
