Chapter 441: Unification of All Laws into the Talisman Formu

ated.This was precisely why they initiated their suppression of the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace!At this moment, Zeng Xin actually saw Zhao Kuo!Zhao Kuo is still alive… that means he’s at the Heavenly Dr...Chapter 793: A Perfect Ending (Grand Finale)

Swish...

A beam of green light descended from the sky, and an old woman dressed in a simple green robe appeared before Hao Ren and Zhao Kuo.

Straightening herself on the琉璃瓦 without even ruffling her clothes, she stood firm.

"Old lady!" Hao Ren called out with both awe and delight.

"Hmph. Who just said they wanted to drive our Yu Jia away" The old woman swept a glance over him, speaking coolly.

"I did," Zhao Kuo stood up and admitted.

"Hmph." A hint of displeasure came from the old woman's nose.

But that slight sound alone made Hao Ren and Zhao Kuo feel as if needles were being driven into their heads, swirling around inside.

The old woman’s peripheral vision caught sight of some bruising on Hao Ren’s cheeks.

"This old hag doesn’t have many flaws; one is just that I’m very protective," said the old lady.

Zhao Kuo was about to argue but suddenly felt a huge force pressing down on him. He felt as if air had been stuffed into his mouth, and his body involuntarily flew backwards.

Throughout this process, the old woman stood rooted in place, not even moving her fingers.

The old lady's gaze remained fixed on Hao Ren, "If you don’t treat Yu Jia well, I won’t let you off easy."

"Uh…" Hao Ren felt a dull ache in his chest and couldn't say anything.

What could he say when faced with an expert capable of challenging the Heaven Dragon realm and a Great Cultivator at the Spirit Formation stage

"I placed a light symbol in Yu Jia’s shoulder, so those from the Dragon God Temple won’t dare to harm her. But she might still be bullied by others." The old woman pulled out an ancient tome from her sleeve, "Give this book to Yu Jia. With her mediocre talent, reaching the Foundation Establishment stage is quite a feat."

Hao Ren accepted the book and glanced at it; five characters in archaic script were written on its cover: ‘The Way of Universal Symbols’.

He stored the tome, which was imbued with qi, into his Spatial Bag. Hao Ren then thought for a moment and asked, "Yu Jia is in the Dragon Palace—why don’t you give it to her personally"

"This little girl is too sentimental; I fear seeing her cry, so I’d rather not see her," said the old woman.

Hao Ren nodded. He knew that Yu Jia was very concerned about the old lady who had taught her the Life and Death Symbol. But with Zhao Haoran asking him to deliver a black dragon talisman, and now this old woman asking him to give Yu Jia the cultivation method, Hao Ren felt as if he had some potential for being a courier.

"Your impressive display of power in the Dragon God Temple seems to have led to a breakthrough," said the old lady, glancing at Hao Ren.

"I’ve reached Mid-Level Geng Rank now." Hao Ren answered honestly.

Being at Mid-Level Geng Rank might give him some standing among his peers, but in front of a Great Cultivator it was like being an ant!

"Do you think surpassing your level to transform into a dragon is fun" The old woman took out a white medicinal pill from her sleeve and threw it at Hao Ren. "Although your realm appears to have improved, there’s hidden damage in your meridians. Youngsters should be competitive but also cautious!"

"This Spirit Marrow Pill can thoroughly repair your meridians; Yu Jia couldn’t make this pill at her current level of cultivation. Cultivation must proceed steadily—I don’t want to see Yu Jia becoming a young widow before she’s old enough to be one!" The old lady said, staring directly at Hao Ren.

Widow... Upon hearing these words, Hao Ren's face flushed.

It seemed that this Great Cultivator was forcing the issue. No matter what, Hao Ren would have to marry Yu Jia.

Seeing the old lady still staring at him, Hao Ren quickly swallowed the pill. At the Level of Transcendence stage, he was already in her control to decide his life and death, so there was no need for her to tamper with the pill.

In reality, this pill was the legendary "Nine-Grade Golden Pill," a divine item that could not be found anywhere in this world! In urban novels, "golden pills" refer to their rarity rather than their color.

The moment the golden pill entered his stomach, Hao Ren immediately felt warm medicinal power spreading throughout his body. This was worlds apart from the Fourth-Grade Pill that Xie Yujia had made!

The ancient divine pills of the Nine Dragons Palace weren't something anyone could consume, but any cultivator could take First to Ninth Grade Pills if they had the opportunity.

Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack...

Suddenly, several dozen dragon orifices that Hao Ren had opened automatically sealed. The spirit energy inside his body swiftly condensed and stored in the remaining orifices.

"I helped you open a dozen or so orifices, and this time I'm reclaiming them. The Dragon Pill is your foundation for cultivation; if you rush ahead recklessly to seek quick gains, then the day when your Dragon Pill breaks will not be far off," said the old lady.

Hao Ren was startled as he hurriedly activated the Sword Image and Division Technique. Indeed, all of the slight pains in his meridians were gone. He had thought these were lingering effects from intense battles, but he didn't know that they signaled gradual damage to his meridians.

This tiny pill completely repaired the hidden injuries Hao Ren had accumulated over these days. However, his cultivation level dropped back down to the lower Rank of Gèn. There was no such thing as a good deal in this world where he could continuously break through limits and still keep advancing (like Dragon Ball). This was because his Dragon Pill was damaged, and his hidden injuries were also very serious!

The old lady didn't tell Hao Ren that it was the Ninth-Grade pill. She gave him a cold glance and said, "I'm going to the Eighth Layer of Heaven for cultivation seclusion; I don’t know when I'll come out. However... if something happens to Yujia after I emerge from seclusion, I will hold you accountable! Even Lulinnan and Lu Li Li won't be able to stop me."

The moment she finished speaking, a green light rose into the air.

As usual, the rooftop of the Profound Arts Hall was empty, as if the old lady had never been there at all.

Zing! Zing!

Zhaokuo stepped on the tower's corner and returned to the top of the Profound Arts Hall.

"Old hag, I'll definitely destroy you one day!" shouted Zhaokuo with his head held high towards that green light.

Right after he fell onto the ground and became numb all over, with great difficulty got back up and returned to the roof, that Transcendence Realm cultivator had already left. Standing next to Zhaokuo was Hao Ren, who was dripping with sweat. He thought to himself how bold Zhaokuo was to dare curse a high-ranking cultivator like this...

Whiz!

A fine green light headed towards the Profound Arts Hall.

Zhaokuo raised his hand to block it, but he flew out again. (Poor guy.)

He happened to bump into a patrol squad below him, knocking over several soldiers in armor.

The soldiers hurriedly helped Zhaokuo up when they saw who it was.

Zhaokuo wasn't pleased and cursed profusely. Standing on the top of the Profound Arts Hall, Hao Ren turned to look at that tiny green light that had almost vanished completely. He thought to himself that this old lady really didn’t have a broad mind... (…)

After all this commotion, dawn arrived.

A beam of white light approached the main entrance of the Dragon Palace near the East Sea.

"Who are you" shouted the general guarding the gate.

"Dragon Temple, Su Han!" The white light reported the name and quickly passed through the main entrance of the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace.

In Zhao Guang's palace at this moment, Zhao Guang, in his pajamas, was going through some documents.

"Your Excellency King, Su Han from the Dragon Temple requests an audience!" A guard shouted outside.

Zhao Guang paused his work and looked up to ask, "Where are Fu Ma (son-in-law) and Zhao Kuo"

"Last night, Young Master Fu Ma and Third Lord were drinking on the roof of the Profound Skill Hall. They should now be watching the morning drills at the Martial Training Ground," the guard replied.

"They seem to have a good rapport," Zhao Guang muttered before calling out loudly, "Let Su Han come to the Hall of Restoring the Heart and bring Chancellor Xia, Elder Lu, Elder Sun, and Star Moon Elder over."

"As you command!" The guard left quickly.

A short while later, everyone gathered in the Hall of Restoring the Heart. Zhao Yanzi, half-asleep, was dragged by Zhao Hongyu to arrive there, with Zhao Hongyu also bringing Xie Yujia, Lu L琳琳 and 陸莉莉 over on her way.

Su Han stood quietly without saying a word; she was waiting for Hao Ren.

Half a minute later, Hao Ren and Zhao Kuo arrived at the Hall of Restoring the Heart together.

The Su Han inside the main hall finally moved her feet.

But before she could approach him, Lu L琳琳 and 陸莉莉 rushed towards Hao Ren like two butterflies flitting about, calling out "Master!"

Hao Ren was just about to put his hands up in defense when Lu L琳琳 suddenly exclaimed with surprise, "Master, what happened to your face"

There were two bruises on Hao Ren's cheek and slight swelling around his eye.

Before Hao Ren could explain, Lu L琳琳 and 陸莉莉 immediately checked him all over; Lu L琳琳 even pulled down Hao Ren’s collar to find rows of bite marks on his shoulder!

"Who dared harm Master!" The innocent 陸莉莉 shouted in anger.

Zhao Yanzi, standing beside Zhao Hongyu and still half-asleep, suddenly blushed and lowered her head guiltily.

When Zhao Hongyu looked at Zhao Yanzi, the latter’s face turned even redder.

Hao Ren was more embarrassed than anyone; he quickly pulled his collar up. "Su Han, you called me"

"Yes," Su Han nodded lightly and tossed a badge to Hao Ren, saying, "This is the identification of an inspector from the Dragon Temple. You have been specially promoted to level three inspector because of your outstanding performance in the martial exams."

Hao Ren took the heavy badge; immediately he felt his forehead getting warm.

The three dim golden patterns flickered and disappeared into Hao Ren’s forehead, meaning that Hao Ren had officially become an inspector without the assistant status. With this identification, Hao Ren could clearly see the strength of everyone in the Hall of Restoring the Heart through their aura; based on their auras alone, he could easily judge their cultivation stages. For example, Chancellor Xia was at upper grade Xun level, while Elders Lu and Sun were both lower grade Kun level.

It seemed that this inspector’s identification was also a treasure.

"The inspector's badge has many other functions; I will explain them to you in detail later," Su Han took out a small golden box from her bracelet. "This is the Seven-Hearted Five-Colored Lotus that you mentioned."

Hearing Su Han say these words, Zhao Kuo standing beside Hao Ren's eyes lit up.

Seeing his reaction, Hao Ren knew that he was right—Zhao Kuo had participated in the Dragon Temple’s imperial exam not only to hone himself but also mainly because of the Seven-Hearted Five-Colored Lotus.

Not just Zhao Kuo; Lu L琳琳 and 陸莉莉 standing a few steps behind Hao Ren's eyes also lit up like lightning—possessing this item would greatly increase Hao Ren’s chances of reaching peak Gan level, as well as the success rate of his heavenly tribulation. And once Hao Ren became one of the top experts capable of ascending, they could accompany him forever!

Hao Ren firmly took the golden little box from Su Han's hand and carefully opened it.

In the box, there was a gray small lotus flower of very ordinary shape.

The size was only as big as half a thumb. There wasn't any spiritual energy felt at all. It looked like a withered lotus.

This was completely different from what Hao Ren had imagined. And it was precisely because it was so unremarkable that no inspector had taken this item away yet.

"Lin Lin, Li Li, come and help me take a look." Hao Ren said.

"Mm-hmm!" Lu Linlin and Lu Lili quickly walked over. The two round heads leaned towards Hao Ren's hand and observed carefully for several seconds before suddenly sitting up straight, delightedly saying, "Congratulations, Young Master! It really is genuine seven-heart five-colored lotus!"

"Mm-hmm..." Hao Ren was satisfied as he put the box away. He then turned to Zhao Kuo, "Third Uncle, I'll give this to you."

"Ah..."

Even though Zhao Kuo had seen many things in his life, at that moment, he was also very shocked.

Lu Linlin and Lu Lili were stunned as well. The seven-heart five-colored lotus was a very difficult-to-find item. They even went out of their way to investigate and found out about this one in the Dragon God Temple.

Hao Ren giving the seven-heart five-colored lotus to Zhao Kuo meant that he was giving up his cultivation prospects for nothing.

In this cruel path of cultivation, cultivators would even fight with their lives just to get a bit of heavenly luck. How could there be someone as Hao Ren who gave away his successful tribulation-crossing prospects

"Third Uncle!" Hao Ren called out again.

Zhao Kuo snapped back from his shock and looked at the still somewhat bruised Hao Ren, finding it unbelievable—this stinky brat, I almost beat him into a pig's head last night, yet he actually gives me such a precious seven-heart five-colored lotus

"Young Master!" The Lu sisters couldn't directly snatch the seven-heart five-colored lotus from Hao Ren, but they couldn't resist speaking up to dissuade him.

"Third Uncle has the greatest potential to break through to Heavenly Dragon Realm; it's most suitable for you to have this seven-heart five-colored lotus," Hao Ren said.

"If that’s so, I won’t be polite!" Zhao Kuo grabbed the golden box from Hao Ren with one hand.

Lu Linlin and Lu Lili looked at Hao Ren somewhat regretfully, their mouths pouting high.

They had put in great effort to persuade Hao Ren to obtain this seven-heart five-colored lotus, yet they never expected Hao Ren would give away such a huge favor.

"What is this item that you want me to take" Su Han asked Hao Ren.

Hao Ren didn't answer. The disgruntled Lu sisters answered first, "This is the top-grade primordial crystal suitable for Young Master’s cultivation!"

Su Han actually didn’t understand what it was either, but upon hearing the explanation of the Lu sisters, her eyes widened in surprise.

To get a good primordial crystal, Dragon Clan cultivators would even be willing to give up all their wealth and lives, yet Hao Ren... had given this away!

Aside from Su Han, Zhao Guang, Zhao Hongyu, Elder Lu, Elder Sun, as well as Star Moon Elder were also looking at Hao Ren with incomprehensible expressions.

"Third Uncle, if you don’t reach the Heavenly Dragon Realm soon, this primordial crystal will be wasted," Hao Ren said.

"Humph! No need to nag!" Zhao Kuo put the golden box into his spatial ring.

Although he didn't express gratitude verbally, he remembered Hao Ren's favor in his heart.

Su Han steadied her mind and faced Hao Ren. "There’s one last matter: The Dragon God Temple has recalled Qin Shaoyang and reassigned him to the northwest bitter cold region again. From now on, only I and you will jointly oversee the inspector setting up in Donghai City.tory in the western part of the country. However, they would be responsible for the main factory in New York, so he wanted to entrust this branch plant to his son Xie Wanjun.Xie Wanjun was currently s...
