Dragon King's Son-In-Law-Chapter 772: Ascending~

"Young Masters, please wait a moment."

A black-bearded old man flew up from the crowd of cultivators and turned into a dash of light before flying toward the southwest direction on a sword.

Controlling the entire Eighth Heaven, Godly Cloud Dao had thousands of branches. The branch that Hao Ren and Xie Yujia came to was one of the lowest-leveled branches even though it looked like a magnificent celestial palace to mortals.

This cultivator was only at top-tier Nascent Soul Realm and didn't have the qualification to go to the headquarters. He must bring the message to a higher-level branch which was headed by a Soul Formation Realm cultivator who would, in turn, deliver the message to the headquarters.

No matter if these two young cultivators coming to Eighth Heaven to visit Qingfeng Hermit were friends or foes, the cultivators of Godly Cloud Dao must treat them with respect.

Usually, even if the cultivators of Seventh Heaven broke onto Eighth Heaven, they would be killed since the Ninth Heaven Godly Lightning which was controlled by Godly Cloud Dao would turn the trespassing cultivators into ashes.

While the sects on Seventh Heaven had many Core Formation Realm cultivators, the Godly Cloud Dao on Eighth Heaven was full of Nascent Soul Realm cultivators!

Completely secluded from the outside world, Eighth Heaven was a world managed by a group of immortals.

Only Soul Formation Realm cultivators could leave Eighth Heaven and tour the outside world.

It was also the place closest to Ninth Heaven, and it enjoyed the most intense nature essence, abundant resources, and rare spirit beasts. Besides, they were a rare group of cultivators who could ascend!

The cultivators on and below Seventh Heaven couldn't ascend to the Heavenly Realm even if they reached the Soul Formation Realm. However, the cultivators on Eighth Heaven could ascend after passing the Heaven Tribulation and getting the acknowledgment from the Heavenly Dao!

Qingfeng Hermit was a grand cultivator who could ascend but chose not to!

She had become a sage by moving the force in nature with dharma notes. Even though she didn't ascend, she was a figure who had achieved Dao!

While the ancient sages achieved Dao with techniques, Qingfeng Hermit created a way of achieving Dao with dharma notes! It was beyond the imagination of the Godly Cloud Dao cultivators that Qingfeng Hermit's Life-Death Notes were getting more powerful each day!

It was said that she would gain the ultimate understanding of the Heavenly Dao and become a real sage after this seclusion cultivation!

"Bad girl! You even came to visit me on Eighth Heaven!"

Hao Ren and Xie Yujia had stood on the square for a while when they heard Qingfeng Hermit's scolding from the high sky.

However, a trace of joy was mingled in her scolding tone.

"Grandma!"

Xie Yujia raised her head and cried out happily.

Hum...

A golden note came from the sky and swept up Hao Ren and Xie Yujia.

The Godly Cloud Dao cultivators saw a golden flash, and then Hao Ren and Xie Yujia vanished.

Transforming nature with dharma notes!

The Nascent Soul Realm cultivators were so shocked that they were at a loss for words.

After the current Dao Master took over Godly Cloud Dao, the first thing that he did was to bring his mother onto Eighth Heaven from the mortal world to attend his inauguration ceremony!

After that, Qingfeng Hermit declared that she would cultivate in seclusion since she wanted to stay out of the regular operation of Godly Cloud Dao.

However, Qingfeng Hermit had come out from her seclusion for a young girl!

Ding!

A golden light appeared in the clouds above the headquarters of Godly Cloud Dao, and then Xie Yujia and Hao Ren found themselves in a courtyard.

Rubbing her eyes, Xie Yujia caught Hao Ren by her side to regain her balance and then finally saw Old Grandma whom she had missed so much!

"Grandma!" Looking at Old Grandma emotionally, Xie Yujia couldn't control the tears in her eyes.

In the past, she had taken care of this 'mute' grandma, but Old Grandma took care of her later on.

However, instead of coming to her rescue in person, Old Grandma had just shown her hand from Eighth Heaven, which meant that Xie Yujia hadn't seen Old Grandma for a long time.

"Silly girl, why are you crying? Did this boy bully you?" Grandma asked.

"No! No..." Hearing her words, Xie Yujia immediately shook her head and dried the tears.

"Well, you've reached the Core Formation Realm. With your talent, it is good progress." Qingfeng Hermit nodded at Xie Yujia in satisfaction and said.

"I... I'm too dull and only reached the Core Formation Realm." Xie Yujia lowered her head slightly and replied bashfully.

She was emotional when she saw Qingfeng Hermit again on Eighth Heaven and found it hard to organize her words.

"I already told you that your talent is poor and can't gain a fast cultivation speed." Qingfeng Hermit looked at Xie Yujia like a genial elder and said, "You took the risk and came to see me on Eighth Heaven. What happened?"

They were standing in an open courtyard. Qingfeng Hermit had been cultivating in seclusion here instead of a cave abode as Hao Ren had expected.

"Grandma... Hao Ren's grandma was injured." Xie Yujia furrowed her eyebrows. Due to her anxiety, her words were incoherent.

Standing beside Xie Yujia, Hao Ren let Xie Yujia tell the whole story, knowing that Qingfeng Hermit was closer to her.

After calming herself down, Xie Yujia finally told the entire incident to Qingfeng Hermit.

Hearing Xie Yujia's words, Qingfeng Hermit learned that Hao Ren had to go to the Heavenly Realm to see the Queen Mother of the West, and her face turned grim instantly.

"Since Hao Ren wants to fight for his grandma, I can't stop him. Here's the plan: Yujia, you can stay with me here for a couple of days, and I'll take the opportunity to teach you some of the improvements that I made to the Life-Death Notes during this seclusion cultivation."

"But..." Xie Yujia looked at Qingfeng Hermit anxiously.

"Do you think that you can go to the Heavenly Realm and come back in one day? One day in the Heavenly Realm is one year on land. Even if Hao Ren can get the Immortal Elixir, it will take him several days," Qingfeng Hermit said with a serious expression.

"Ok..." Xie Yujia had to listen to Qingfeng Hermit despite the anxiety inside her.

She didn't know that Qingfeng Hermit had used an excuse to keep her. In Qingfeng Hermit's mind, this silly girl didn't have to take the risk with Hao Ren.

No cultivator had ever tried to go to the Heavenly Realm and beg for the Immortal Elixir. Qingfeng Hermit wouldn't help him if not for Xie Yujia's begging. Also, she was a bit moved by Hao Ren's love for his grandma.

"Since you have Zhen Yuan Immortal's Penglai Immortal Token, I think the cultivators in the Heavenly Realm probably won't make it difficult for you. However, you must remember that you can't force your will on them and must retreat when you know it's impossible to make progress," Qingfeng Hermit said.

"Ok!" Hao Ren nodded.

In fact, he had planned to leave Xie Yujia with Qingfeng Hermit and go to the Heavenly Realm alone to see the Queen Mother of the West, so Xie Yujia wouldn't be involved in any dangers that might arise in the process.

"Your Penglai Immortal Token is a pass to all the holy places in the world. Since you're Zhen Yuan Immortal's brother, you can be counted as half a true immortal. I'll send you to the Heavenly Realm, and everything else will depend on your luck."

With her words, a black and white light rose up and supported Hao Ren and Xie Yujia.

Being brought up into the high sky, Hao Ren finally got a bird's view of the Godly Cloud Dao's headquarters which consisted of many palaces and pavilions that were hovering in the air!

There were no paths between the palaces and pavilions, and the cultivators in Taoist robes were traveling between them on dharma treasures!

It looked like a futuristic city in science fiction novels where the buildings were floating in the air, and all kinds of flying cars traveled between the buildings!

However, this was a cultivation world!

This cultivation kingdom was above the mortal kingdom!

Dharma treasure shops, dharma notes stores, elixir pill workshops, all kinds of training fields… It was a complete system!

Without the competition of sects, Godly Cloud Dao that controlled the entire Eighth Heaven was an independent society!

"You don't have to look; you don't belong here." Qingfeng Hermit caught Hao Ren's back with one note while gently holding Xie Yujia's hand, bringing them up to a mountain peak high in the clouds.

Hao Ren felt the chilly winds blowing around them, estimating that this mountain peak was at least as high as the Heaven-Reaching Tower in the Nine Dragon Palace.

However, with Qingfeng Hermit's speed, they reached the top of this mountain in the blink of an eye.

There was only a small circular platform with a diameter of about one meter!

"This is the Immortal-Ascending Platform. The cultivators on Eighth Heaven must come here to pass the Heavenly Tribulation if they want to ascend," Qingfeng Hermit said while she loosened the note and pushed Hao Ren gently to the center of the circular platform.

Hao Ren wanted to say something to Xie Yujia, but Qingfeng Hermit lifted her hand and shot out 16 dharma notes instantly.

"Go!"

Hao Ren's Penglai Immortal Token flew out from his necklace automatically, and a silver light flashed on it under the activation of the 16 dharma notes.

"You must go through Ninth Heaven which is also commonly called Ninth Cloud before you reach the Heavenly Realm. If you're not lucky and fall into the misty void, even I can't help you," Qingfeng Hermit said while shooting out golden and silver dharma notes.

"Hao Ren... Grandma!"

Hearing her words, Xie Yujia became worried and yelled Hao Ren's name before turning her head to Qingfeng Hermit anxiously.

However, while Xie Yujia was still hesitating, Hao Ren had flown up with Qingfeng Hermit's dharma notes and rushed into the white clouds as a light beam.

"Grandma!" Seeing Hao Ren disappearing into the clouds instantly, Xie Yujia stomped her feet in agitation, and her long and slim eyebrows furrowed.

"Silly girl, I'm only teasing you. This kid has the Penglai Immortal Token, and the immortals who are responsible for the reception will go easy on him," Qingfeng Hermit said with a smile while tapping on Xie Yujia's forehead lightly.

She looked up at the white clouds and held back the rest of her sentence. Although Hao Ren wouldn't fall into the void, the Heavenly Realm still would knock him down if they didn't want him to go up there.

Swoosh...

With the Penglai Immortal Token in his hand, Hao Ren traveled through the vast Ninth Heaven under the support of the dozen dharma notes shot by Qingfeng Hermit.

These notes lit up Hao Ren's surrounding like stars.

There was only Ninth Heaven between Eighth Heaven and the Heavenly Realm, but it was impossible to pass for most of the cultivators.

All the heavenly lightning bolts during the Heavenly Tribulation for human cultivators, demon cultivators, and dragon cultivators were shot down from the Ninth Cloud!

If not for the Penglai Immortal Token in his hand, Hao Ren would have triggered many lightning bolts from the void, and they would kill him!

When Hao Ren finally saw a trace of white light ahead of him, about a dozen heavenly lightning bolts suddenly appeared and tried to beat him back!

He wasn't allowed to ascend!

Supported by the ascending force of Qingfeng Hermit's dharma notes, Hao Ren felt as if he were in a boat that he couldn't control.

Just as he was about to slide back down to Eighth Heaven, a golden heavenly dragon suddenly appeared and pushed up Hao Ren!
