Eighth Heaven… Only metal-elemental dragons were allowed to soar into Eighth Heaven!

Seeing that the white dragon wasn’t a metal-elemental dragon, the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators were about to attack but hesitated at the sight of the female cultivator who was sitting on the back of the white dragon.

They had never seen a human cultivator who could ride on a dragon! Besides, this female cultivator seemed to be only at the Core Formation Realm!

In their confusion, they almost thought that Xie Yujia was a cultivator who came to Eighth Heaven from above.

“Roar…” Hao Ren let out a dragon roar while he took Xie Yujia up into the denser clouds.

The nature essence intensity on Eighth Heaven far surpassed that in Seventh Heaven; it was almost as abundant as in the Demon Sea!

The scenery here was even more beautiful than the view on Seventh Heaven!

Under the heavy clouds, Hao Ren was surprised to see ancient cities. It was a new world!

Hua!

Hao Ren spread his dragon wings and soared on Eighth Heaven!

His dragon form had all the features of a dragon including scales, wings, horns, and claws!

He cultivated the five-elemental nature essences at the same time and had the complete five-elemental mystic crystal, which was why he had the full features!

When Zhao Kuo changed into his dragon form when he was at peak Qian-level during his Heavenly Tribulation, he didn’t have such magnificent dragon wings!

Sitting on Hao Ren’s back, Xie Yujia felt a thrill when she saw the rivers and mountains sweeping under them while they flew for thousands of kilometers instantly.

Crack… About a dozen heavenly lightning bolts crashed down from the high sky.

Although Hao Ren had escaped from the first blockage of the cultivators, he couldn’t dodge the array formation established by the God Cloud Dao on Eighth Heaven. The heavenly lightning bolts hidden in the clouds struck toward Hao Ren’s dragon form since he wasn’t a metal-elemental dragon.

Hao Ren tumbled his huge dragon body and suddenly changed back to his human form before putting on a long robe swiftly.

Losing Hao Ren’s support, Xie Yujia fell from the sky. She was about to summon her Ruyi Cloth when Hao Ren caught her and brought her to the ground.

With the golden shield supporting them, Hao Ren and Xie Yujia landed inside the city.

Those heavenly lightning bolts shooting from the clouds lost their target and scattered in the high sky.

Hao Ren had concealed his aura with the Seven-Core Five-Color Lotus while Xie Yujia’s Core Formation Realm strength couldn’t activate the heavenly lightning bolts.

The golden shield was no longer a dharma treasure but a celestial treasure. While it carried Hao Ren and Xie Yujia who showed no nature essence, it wouldn’t allow the heavenly lightning bolts to strike them.

Swoosh… Dozens of lights gathered in the high sky above the city. They were cultivators of God Cloud Dao who had sensed the auras of trespassing cultivators and came to block them.

Hao Ren put away the golden shield and looked around.

It seemed that he and Xie Yujia had gone back in time and appeared in another era.

It was a bustling place. Young men and women in luxurious clothes strode on the streets while all kinds of horse-drawn carriages traveled on the roads.

The workers of the restaurants were greeting guests warmly at the gates.

By the lake not far from them, vendors were selling snacks and candies at stalls.

On the lake, beautiful boats moved around with silk-robed young men and women chatting with each other.

Seeing this sight, Hao Ren and Xie Yujia looked at each other and felt like they were in a dream.

Hao Ren even suspected that he had been trapped by God Cloud Dao’s illusion array formation.

From Seventh Heaven to Fifth Heaven, they had seen magnificent cultivation sects or villages, but there had never been any cities of this scale.

In the cities on Eighth Heaven, the people lived happy and prosperous lives; it was unimaginable.

It was a utopian world.

Swoosh! Swoosh… Stepping on swords, several cultivators in Taoist robes swept across the low sky.

“Grandpa! Grandpa!” Looking up at the flying cultivators, a little boy with a braid threw himself into the arms of his grandfather.

“Hehehe! Little Ye! Don’t be afraid. These are the Celestial Masters of God Cloud Dao who protect us.” The old man patted the head of his grandson and looked at the cultivators respectfully.

“Grandpa! I want to become a celestial master! I want to protect our Great Liang Dynasty!” the little boy yelled.

“Haha… Not everyone can become a celestial master… Have you memorized the Three Character Classic that I taught you yesterday?”

“Grandpa, I’ve memorized it! Even if I can’t become a celestial master, I want to be the Premier of our Great Liang Dynasty! I’ll recite the Three Character Classic for you…”

“Hahaha! Premier! My grandson will be the premier…”

Holding his grandson’s hand, the old man laughed and walked away along the wide street paved with green stones.

Standing under the eaves of a fabric shop, Hao Ren and Xie Yujia looked at each other and understood that they had come to the Great Liang Dynasty.

The people here didn’t know that they were living on Eighth Heaven or anything about the Tang Dynasty or the Ming Dynasty. They probably had come here from a certain period of Chinese history and branched out by themselves on Eighth Heaven.

An empire named Great Liang governed the vast territory, and the only thing above this powerful empire was the only cultivation sect – God Cloud Dao.

“Let’s go!”

Seeing the cultivators who were searching for them flying away, Hao Ren took Xie Yujia’s hand and flew up lightly.

“Celestial masters…” the crowd cried out when they saw Hao Ren and Xie Yujia flying up.

In their minds, all the celestial masters who could cultivate were from the God Cloud Dao, and the cultivators occasionally mingled in with the mortals to monitor the government.

This was why the mortals admired the God Cloud Dao more than their government.

Hao Ren flew out of the city with Xie Yujia and headed toward the distant mountains.

When he was in the clouds, Hao Ren had found that the mortals’ cities were built on land while cultivators’ palaces were built on the high mountains.

There was a branch of God Cloud Dao on a mountain hundreds of kilometers from this city.

Hao Ren’s speed was so fast that some low-leveled cultivators who were in governmental official’s uniforms and were flying in the low sky didn’t even notice him.

Seeing the magnificent buildings of God Cloud Dao concealed in the high mountain, Xie Yujia was a bit excited when she thought that she could see Old Grandma again.

The land on Eighth Heaven had scarce nature essence. However, the higher they flew, and the closer they got to the mountaintops, the more intense the nature essence got.

To avoid trouble, Hao Ren hadn’t fought with the cultivators. After dodging those cultivators who were searching for them, Hao Ren took Xie Yujia to find Old Grandma.

“I’m here to visit Qingfeng Hermit!”

Holding Xie Yujia’s hand, Hao Ren landed on the square outside of a palace of God Cloud Dao and shouted.

Since God Cloud Dao controlled the entire Eighth Heaven, these branches naturally didn’t put up any array formation or had any guards. When Hao Ren stood on the white stone square and yelled, he drew out all the cultivators from the nearby palaces.

When they saw Hao Ren and Xie Yujia standing at the center of the square, they knew that these two strangers were extraordinary since they had come to Eighth Heaven with ease.

Meanwhile, they were stunned by the name of Qingfeng Hermit.

These cultivators looked at each other and whispered among themselves.

If Hao Ren had yelled this name while escaping on Eight Heaven, the cultivators of God Cloud Dao wouldn’t have let him go. However, since Hao Ren called the name ‘Qingfeng Hermit’ after entering the God Cloud Dao, it was…

Who was Qingfeng Hermit? She was the mother of the new master of God Cloud Dao!
