The old翹鯽仁was standing on the red barrier formation, jumping forcefully and leaping up to ten meters into the air. With his feet pressing against the wall, he would then leap again and fly towards the exterior wall of the opposite high-rise building.

The entire process was light and smooth; with just three or four bounces, Hao Ren had reached the rooftop of the tallest building in the vicinity.

Without Hao Ren supporting the red barrier formation, people would definitely think they were seeing a city-level transcendent being.

In fact, Hao Ren was quite helpless. Although he had already reached the Shengji realm, he did not have his own flying magic tool and still needed to rely on Little White for aerial flight. At this moment, White was curled up beside Xie Yujia's bed, on the carpet.

The umbrella-shaped framework formed by the beams of light hummed as it transported these two cultivators to the rooftop of a high-rise building.

With his hands behind his back, Hao Ren felt slightly surprised upon seeing that the two cultivators who had violated regulations were middle-aged men.

The two cultivators caught by Hao Ren were trembling. Although they held significant positions in their sects, small sects at the fifth layer of heaven would not dare to send cultivators for reconnaissance at the first layer of heaven. This was their first time patrolling near the first layer of heaven; flying around Donghai City unobstructed had gradually emboldened them until Hao Ren intervened.

Standing on solid ground for the first time, and seeing Hao Ren staring at them, they felt extremely uneasy, as if eighty or so talismans were simultaneously ringing in their hearts.

"What do you want from us" Hao Ren asked them.

The late Condensation Stage cultivator knelt down before Hao Ren with a thud. "Merciful Immortal! Merciful Immortal!"

As for the other middle-stage Condensation Stage cultivator, he followed suit and fell to his knees, crawling on the ground and nearly bowing his head towards Hao Ren.

Hao Ren had just reached the Shengji realm, with strength equivalent to a late-stage Condensation Realm practitioner. However, his cultivation level was still at the early stage of the Condensation Realm; upon seeing them like this, he did not know what to do either.

According to his thoughts, as an assistant inspector, it was necessary for him to maintain order in Donghai City. Upon discovering cultivators who had violated regulations by flying, a slight reprimand would suffice.

He never imagined that these two cultivators were illegal immigrants from above the fifth layer of heaven.

But he was unaware that above the Fifth Layer of Heaven, various cultivation sects were lined up, with a complex situation. Disagreements could lead to killings and cover-ups, almost becoming routine occurrences. Especially in the Fifth Layer of Heaven where small sects are most numerous, things can be even more chaotic; one might achieve the Core Formation stage through diligent practice within their sect only to get killed upon stepping out.

Compared to this, below the Fifth Layer of Heaven was簡直就是一片修仙的樂園。 a paradise for cultivators. Although it's far from the Ninth Layer of Heaven where one can break through the sky and ascend, its spiritual energy is thin and pitiful, but underwater resources are still abundant, with vast lands available, especially with an extremely peaceful atmosphere.

Hao Ren, living in this paradise, naturally couldn't understand the two cultivators' terrified state. Looking at them, he couldn't think of how to inquire about them.

Seeing Hao Ren's stiff face and silence, these two cultivators were even more frightened; the leading Core Formation後期修仙者立刻摘下自己腰間的鼓鼓的儲物袋。 late-stage cultivator immediately took off his bulging storage bag from his waist and respectfully placed it at Hao Ren's feet.

The other cultivator, seeing this, quickly also removed his storage bag and placed it in front of Hao Ren.

"Forget it, forget it, you may leave. Don't casually fly around in the future." Puzzled by their exaggerated reaction, Hao Ren waved them off.

Relieved like they were pardoned from a great calamity, these two cultivators quickly drew out long swords and ascended into the sky.

Like meteor streaks moving against the flow of time, they fled at incredible speeds towards the heavens, using up all their spiritual energy to escape in fear that Hao Ren would change his mind.

Watching them disappear into the white clouds, Hao Ren shook his head and sighed helplessly. "It turns out an inspector is truly terrifying; these guys were frightened like this."

Picking up the two storage bags from the ground, he opened one to take a look.

A storage bag was also a spatial treasure but compared to the ring or necklace-type芥子空間 Hao Ren had seen before, such storage bags were rather basic and could only hold limited items.

Upon infusing it with Five Elements Spiritual Energy, Hao Ren immediately opened the first storage bag and found inside a golden Bagua disk, a short sword, an intermediate-grade靈石 spiritual stone, over ten low-grade靈石spiritual stones, some medicinal pills, and a wooden plaque.

Picking up the wooden plaque, he saw it was heavy and inscribed with several ancient characters: 白沙派白沙派, 天逸長老天逸 Elder.

Filled with confusion, he opened the other storage bag to find inside several bottles of medicinal pills, a few talisman seals, and another similarly material wooden plaque.

白沙派白沙派, 玉聽長老玉聽 Elder

Obviously, the second storage bag wasn’t as richly endowed as the first one. Nevertheless, these could still be considered war spoils. Hao Ren tossed both of these bags into his mustard seed space and wondered if there were sects within rivers, lakes, seas, and oceans.The cultivation level required to become an Elder was rather laughable.He hadn’t thought about anything beyond the Fifth Heaven Layer, nor did he know its structure. If all forces above the Fifth Heaven Layer were considered a large corporation, then the power of those in the Fifth Heaven Layer would be like ragtag armies. In dozens or even hundreds of small sects, if one had several Core Formation Elders overseeing it, that was already quite good. With an Essence Formation cultivator, they could dominate their region. But alas, all these sects were merely providing limited talent to the Sixth Heaven Layer and mining various minerals to cultivate immortal herbs.However, once in the Sixth Heaven Layer, there would be more Essence Formation cultivators. It wasn’t unusual for such cultivators to become Elders of sects in the Sixth Heaven Layer. Overall, dozens of Essence Formation cultivators could still be found across the Sixth Heaven Layer.Entering the Seventh Heaven Layer, there were only seven or eight sects within the entire range. Each sect occupied five to six mountain ranges. Whether it was resources or spiritual energy, they were all quite rich. Such large sects had several dozen Essence Formation cultivators each, totaling hundreds of such cultivators. Some sects even had Ancestral Deities at the Nascent Soul stage, whose power couldn’t be underestimated.Moving further up to the Eighth Heaven Layer, there was only one sect: the Azure Firmament Dao Sect. Its strength could be easily imagined.Therefore, for dragon cultivators outside of the Gold Dragon Clan, even if they transformed into dragons and soared, their limit would be the Seventh Heaven Layer. If they surpassed this boundary and ascended further, it would fall within the territory of forces in the Eighth Heaven Layer, which was Azure Firmament Dao’s domain. Any dragon other than those from the Gold Dragon Clan would be struck down by lightning if they crossed the border, regardless of life or death.Only cultivators who had reached the Heavenly Dragon realm could truly soar through the nine heavens. The reason why cultivators in the Gold Dragon Clan could pass through the Eighth Heaven Layer was because several hundred years ago, their sect produced a grand elder who ascended to the Heavenly Dragon level.Currently, Hao Ren’s strength would be considered high-level within the Fifth Heaven Layer, mediocre within the Sixth Heaven Layer, and only at the bottom tier of cultivators in the Seventh Heaven Layer.Hao Ren tucked away the two storage bags and used the red boundary layer as cover. In a few leaps, he returned to the flat ground in the arts district.Seeing that no one was around and noting that none of the cameras were aimed here, Hao Ren dissolved the red boundary layer, becoming an ordinary young student’s appearance again before heading towards Zhao Hongyu's studio.He arrived early, so others hadn’t come yet for overtime work. Hao Ren took out the key Zhao Hongyu had given him to open the door and tidied up the office while it was still early. He turned on the air conditioning and hot water and returned to his desk to look at his belongings. The file he had partially annotated yesterday now contained additional notes, clearly written in Zhao Hongyu’s handwriting. It seemed that she had come here again last night to handle some leftover tasks and casually reviewed "his homework."Based on Hao Ren's ideas, Zhao Hongyu provided further suggestions. Hao Ren carefully considered them and gained some insight. Even as an ordinary person with her talent, Zhao Hongyu could become one of the best architects in this world.Time slowly passed, and five or six young designers arrived at the studio for overtime work one after another, making the transparent and elegant studio lively again.Soon, Zhao Hongyu, dressed in wide-stripe T-shirts, arrived at the studio before noon. Her style was relaxed yet simple, but with her aura, just a plain silver necklace and red bracelet made her look like a modern businesswoman, commanding respect from others.

Following her in was Zhao Yanzǐ wearing denim overalls. Compared to other girls of her age who favored a sweet and cute style, Zhao Yanzǐ’s outfit today was quite eye-catching.

The overalls were paired with a white T-shirt, and she had a pink crossbody bag slung diagonally across her body. Her look was as simple as her mother's but lively and playful!

"Ah Zi, behave yourself and do your homework," said Zhao Hóngyù as she led Zhao Yanzǐ to an empty table beside郝仁, then smiled at 郝仁 before entering her own office.

With a pout, Zhao Yanzǐ placed her crossbody bag on the table, from which she pulled out a thick stack of homework.

Seeing that 郝仁 was looking at her, Zhao Yanzǐ wrinkled her nose and rolled her eyes before leaning over the desk with furrowed brows to start working on her assignments.

The幾位“姐姐”in the studio were not surprised by this; they knew that Boss Zhao’s daughter, Zhao Yanzǐ, was both beautiful and playful. Sometimes when Hóngyù had to work overtime, she would bring Zhao Yanzǐ to the workplace so she could supervise her while she worked.

Looking at Zhao Yanzǐ's reaction, 郝仁 realized that she still did not know about last night’s commotion with Zhēn Cōngmíng in Xīhǎi Lónggōng. From the looks of it, Hóngyù hadn’t been informed either.

However, using his Shaking Level abilities to observe Zhao Yanzǐ, 郝仁 felt that her cultivation level seemed to have made some progress overnight.

Xie Yujia was still hovering around the third and fourth layers of Qi Condensation. Yet, it appeared as though Zhao Yanzǐ was on the verge of entering Foundation Establishment stage!

"Bad guy, what are you looking at!" Suddenly turning her head, Zhao Yanzǐ glared at 郝仁.

Wearing overalls made her look like a primary school student, yet she was in her early teenage years with budding wisdom. Her big eyes flashed when she looked at him; her curved eyelashes slightly lifted, and her dark pupils gleamed like two shiny black diamonds.

"I wasn’t looking," 郝仁 denied vehemently.

“Hmph!” Zhao Yanzǐ huffed unhappily before turning around. After a moment's thought, she turned back to glare at him again, "That girl who stayed over at your place last night didn't cause any trouble, did she"

"What do you think" Looking at her narrowing eyes and pouting lips, 郝仁 paused for a few seconds before asking her in return. was engraved with three ancient characters:破天弓 (Heaven-Shattering Bow).The name has a strong presence, but I don't know how powerful it is."The Sea of Ten Thousand Demons is where demon beasts gather...
