This sudden voice shocked Zhen Congming.

Everything went smoothly with the path he chose, but he didn't think he would run into a disciple of the Sky Mountain Sect.

Hao Ren, who held Zhao Yanzi by the arm, turned back immediately and saw a beautiful girl standing by the cliff. At the moment, she was wearing a long bright yellow robe.

In the white moonlight, this girl who was similar to Zhao Yanzi's age stood on a stone in front of a cave, and her eyes were opened wide, glaring.

When Zhao Yanzi saw her, her eyes also opened wide.

The foes always encountered each other!

Duan Yao was also surprised. She had been thinking about how she could find Zhao Yanzi after this self-reflection period ended, and she had never thought that her enemies would trespass into the Sky Mountain Sect and run into her!

She had been grounded at the back mountain to reflect on herself. Each day, Luojia, her father's snow lion would come and bring her simple meals.

No one was allowed to visit her. However, her mom couldn't bear to watch her suffer, so she secretly brought some good snakes for Duan Yao a few times.

At this moment, Duan Yao was infuriated when she saw Zhao Yanzi holding her Purple Green Treasure Sword.

She quickly took out a Signaling Note and put nature essence into it before releasing it.

She thought some spirit beasts had escaped from the beast region when she heard the loud noises. Then, she saw a few vague figures and wasn't sure if they were the other disciples of the Sky Mountain Sect who were here to catch the beasts.

She thought it was impossible to succeed trespass all the array formations that were in the Sky Mountain Sect. Multiple array formations were protecting the mountains and stopped people from trespassing.

However, to her surprise, the people who came here included that 'pervert' and that girl who robbed her on Fifth Heaven.

Hao Ren saw the flaming note in Duan Yao's hand, and there was no way that he was going to let her release it in full. Therefore, he shot a sword energy toward her immediately.

A purple sword energy made from the wood and fire elements shot towards the note in Duan Yao's hands, and it was put out.

Duan Yao felt a sharp pain in her arm, forcing her to take three steps back and looked at Hao Ren angrily.

In this Sky Mountain Sect, the disciples treated her with respect, and outsiders didn't dare to anger her as well. However, Hao Ren hit her and wasn't refrained from using his power at all.

"Let's not make things so complicated. Just kill her!" Zhen Congming said.

The cultivation sets on and above Fifth Heaven didn't have an organization governing them, so they still used the system passed on from the ancient times in First Heaven; the law of the jungle.

The ones who did not have adequate powers or good backgrounds were easily killed, and their treasures would go to whoever won that battle.

Therefore, Zhao Yanzi was actually nice when she left the cultivators she defeated with their pants and spared them their lives. The cultivators who were spared should go home and thank the heaven!

When Zhen Congming was active on Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh Heaven, he had frequently bumped into robbers and murderers. However, his flight dharma treasure was fast so that the other cultivators couldn't catch up to him.

Duan Yao looked extremely pale and scared after hearing that; she understood what Zhen Congming meant.

She was the daughter of the sect master of the Sky Mountain Sect, and she was always protected by senior disciples; no one would dare to hurt her.

Even when she was alone on Fifth Heaven, she was still riding on Luojia, level 5 snow lion. This kind of spirit beasts had auras that scared most cultivators on Fifth Heaven to death.

Therefore, she did not know how dangerous the world really was.

"You don't need to kill her. Just make her faint," Hao Ren said.

Although he knew that on and above Fifth Heaven was much more dangerous than First Heaven, Hao Ren still couldn't kill this arrogant girl.

Duan Yao relaxed a bit when she heard him say that. However, she was also extremely infuriated by his words.

"Who does he think he is?" she thought.

"I'll do it!" Zhao Yanzi didn't like Duan Yao in the first place. She rode on Little White with her sword and aimed the hilt at Duan Yuan.

Zhao Yanzi used the first sword techniques in the Big Dipper Constellation Scroll at Duan Yao.

Duan Yao saw Zhao Yanzi using her sword and technique, and she was so mad that her eyes almost turned white.

However, Duan Yao was not able to stop the power of the Purple Green Treasure Sword. She was also flustered and did not have adequate combat experience, so she couldn't even stop half of Zhao Yanzi's strike. She was hit hard by Zhao Yanzi with the hilt of the sword, and her mind weakened, causing her to collapse onto the ground.

Hao Ren saw how Zhao Yanzi finished the battle with one move, and his heart shivered a bit because he knew Zhao Yanzi wasn't the easy-going type as she was ferocious in battle.

Just when Hao Ren thought she would come back quickly, Zhao Yanzi jumped down from Little White, kneeled close to Duan Yao, and searched Duan Yao's clothes.

"This girl…" Hao Ren was speechless as he thought, "She got addicted to being a robber!"

After searching Duan Yao's clothes and finding nothing, Zhao Yanzi got nothing, so she searched inside the cave as well.

However, Duan Yao was reflecting on herself in the cave in the back mountain, and she didn't have a lot of stuff with her. Zhao Yanzi couldn't find much in the cave, so she just took two pieces of jades that looked valuable from Duan Yao.

Then, Zhao Yanzi climbed back up on Little White and returned to Hao Ren.

Hao Ren rolled his eyes at her and was too lazy to give her a lesson.

He turned to Zhen Congming and said, "Let's keep going."

"Yeah!" Zhen Congming created an array formation to cover the cave entrance and Duan Yao to prevent her from destroying their plans after she woke up.

What he did was actually unnecessary since Zhao Yanzi hit Duan Yao hard, and Duan Yao would probably faint for the whole night. Zhao Yanzi got the revenge she wanted from the time when Duan Yao used Luojia to bully her without mercy.

This area was also strictly restricted by the sect master. Anyone who disobeyed his orders would be executed!

The Scroll Pavilion of the Sky Mountain Sect was also near the back mountain.

Hao Ren and his group climbed up to the peak of the back mountain and was able to see the entire Sky Mountain Sect.

A large majestic mountain was in front of them.

This majestic mountain was lit up brightly. There were dense rows of houses and many different palaces. The buildings were all over the front and the back of the mountain.

The so-call big sects on Fifth Heaven were nothing compared to this!

"The Sky Mountain Sect is considered a medium-sized sect on Sixth Heaven, but they specialized in growing spiritual herbs and cultivating spirit beasts, so they have a good standing and reputation," Zhen Congming explained.

Hao Ren nodded and thought, "Even this is only a medium-sized sect. How big would the large-sized sects be? And how magnificent would the sects on Seventh Heaven be?"

Under a rough estimate, there were probably tens of thousands of buildings on this mountain in the middle.

If all the cultivators who stayed in the Sky Mountain Sect were to initiate a fight together, they would be 1,000 to 10,000 times more terrifying than the group attack at the White Sand Sect.

With Hao Ren's current realm, there was no chance that he could go home in one piece if faced with a group attack organized by tens of thousand cultivators, let alone that there were Nascent Soul Realm cultivator here.

The gap between the power of Sixth and Fifth Heaven was huge.

That was why within the territory of Sixth Heaven, it would be impossible to open a small valley to plant spiritual herbs.

Even creating a cave abode would be difficult since it was hard not to be discovered by the disciples of the sects on Sixth Heaven.

Inside these forests, which appeared to be peaceful, there were many hiding Core Formation Realm cultivators. If it were not because of the night and how focused those cultivators were with training, even Zhen Congming would not dare to trespass into Sixth Heaven.

"That gold building is the Scroll Pavilion," Zhen Congming pointed to the building near the back of the mountain and said.

Hao Ren looked in the way that Zhen Congming was pointing at and discovered that the Scroll Pavillion was not smaller than the size of East Ocean University's library.

If they didn't go through the back mountain, they probably would not be able to step half a foot into the Sky Mountain Sect's main gates, given how this entire sect was structured.

"There are a lot of cultivators there, so it's better if we suppress our auras." Zhen Congming reminded everyone.

Hao Ren followed orders and suppressed his aura as much as possible. He didn't have much of the aura of a dragon cultivator because of the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll, but his power level which was equivalent to at least a Core Formation Realm cultivator might still attract the attention of some Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators.

Lu Linlin and Lu Lili were at Qian-level, and they were able to hide their auras well. If they also hid their nature essence, nothing could be sensed from them.

Zhen Congming put on a cloak, which made his aura disappear instantly.

Zhao Yanzi practiced a human cultivation technique and reached the Foundation Establishment Realm, so she shouldn't be in much trouble.

"Little White!" Hao Ren threw Little White into his necklace. He didn't need it at the moment; they only needed it to escape.

"Let's go!" Zhen Congming bent down slightly as he walked down the hill toward the Scroll Pavilion.

The Scroll Pavilion had many complicated defense array formations, and that was why there weren't many patrolling or guarding disciples.

"The Last Star Array, the Nine Turns Cloud Array…" At the back of Scroll Pavilion. Zhen Congming took out his yellow flag to detect the array formations by order.

Zhen Congming had never been to the Sky Mountain Sect's Scroll Pavilion before, so he needed to take his time. If it only required him to break the array formations, Zhen Congming could do it within a few seconds. However, since he had to break the array formations without triggering any alerts, he would have to do it very carefully and patiently.

Each array formation had its weaknesses. However, if array formations were layered on top of each other, they could hide each other's weaknesses. Around the Sky Mountain Sect's Scroll Pavilion were 18 array formations, and each array formation was powered by five spirit stones. The power of these array formations was formidable.

Zhen Congming had to unlock the array formations in order, but Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi were already a bit unsettled. They were in their enemy's territory, and one wrong step could cause tens of thousands of cultivators to fly over. These cultivators were also much more powerful than the ones in the White Sand Sect.

"Ok!" Zhen Congming said as he took out a few black and white chess pieces to construct a temporary array formation.

Tens of radiant circles appeared out of nowhere; these were the 18 formation arrays' weaknesses.

"Yanzi is on the lookout. Linlin, Lili, and Zhen Congming follow me," Hao Ren said.

The Lu sisters nodded immediately. Anywhere Hao Ren went, they would follow without hesitation.

"If this temporary array formation is broke, we would be locked inside," Zhen Congming said to Zhao Yanzi.

"Hey" Zhao Yanzi shouted lightly. However, the group of three followed Hao Ren into the circles, stepping into the territory of the array formations.

She said that she could be on lookout only because she wanted Hao Ren to bring her along; she never thought that Hao Ren would really let her be on the lookout by herself.

It was extremely quiet here, and she was standing in the space between a forest and the Scroll Pavilion. She couldn't help but feel scared in the dark.

There weren't many disciples patrolling the Scroll Pavilion area, but that didn't mean there were none. Zhao Yanzi, who was standing next to the temporary array formation, had the risk of being exposed at any time.

The one who was on the lookout seemed to have the most pressure…

At the same time, Hao Ren, Zhen Congming, and the Lu sisters who were inside the array formations stepped on the rooftop of the Scroll Pavilion.

There were Sky Mountain Sect's disciples guarding the front gate of the Scroll Pavilion, so the only chance to sneak in was through the roof.

There was another layer of formation array on the roof of the Scroll Pavilion that prevented damage, but this was very easy for Zhen Congming. With just a few moves, he unlocked the array formation on the roof.

They slipped through a hole in the roof, and inside were just rows and rows of rare techniques with no patrolling disciples. It was understandable because the Scroll Pavilion was such an important place, so the high-level cultivators couldn't even trust their disciples and replied on powerful array formations.

Hao Ren jumped down from the hole in the roof and caught Zhen Congming as he was falling.

Zhen Congming didn't have strong powers. If he were to trigger an alert, it would be a huge mess.

"Gongzi!" Lu Linlin jumped from the roof on purpose so that Hao Ren would catch her.

Hao Ren couldn't do anything but hold out his hands and catch her. This naturally led to him hugging her in his arms.

Lu Linlin's face turned bright red, and she smiled with happiness. Then, Hao Ren turned around and caught Lu Lili.

Lu Linlin and Lu Lili were now both in Hao Ren's arms.

"Ok, stop fooling around. Let's go find the rare technique that teaches us how to grow lotuses," Hao Ren said gently. His heart was beating fast, so he pushed Lu Linlin and Lu Lili away from his chest.

"Yes, Gongzi!" Lu Linlin nodded lightly while her words sounded a bit playful.

"Don't move!" Zhen Congming suddenly yelled out just when Lu Linlin and Lu Lili were about to step forward. They quickly stopped.

"There are more arrays formations in here, and it is more complicated than I thought. If you take the wrong steps, the whole alarm system will go off," Zhen Congming said cautiously when he looked at the irregular patterns on the ground.

"What should we do?" Hao Ren quickly asked.

"I can calculate the way to walk around, but I need to know which shelf the technique you want is on," Zhen Congming said.

Hao Ren was surprised, thinking that the Sky Mountain Sect was indeed protective over their techniques.

The rare techniques were the treasures of the sects, and the people who were authorized would know which rare technique was on which shelf.

However, for trespassing cultivators who didn't know which shelf the rare techniques were on, they would set the alarm off after a few wrong steps, causing the disciples of the Sky Mountain Sect to rush over.

Not even the disciples of the Sky Mountain Sect were allowed in the Scroll Pavilion because they weren't allowed to read and study these super rare and powerful techniques.

The advantage of the Sky Mountain Sect was their knowledge on cultivating spirit beasts and growing spiritual herbs. If the spirit beasts and spiritual herbs were stolen, they could just make more. However, if the rare techniques were leaked, then the loss would be devastating.

If they didn't keep going, they wouldn't know which shelf had which technique. However, if they walked without aim, they would trigger the alarm array formation. This array formation was embedded in the ground floor and linked to the Scroll Pavilion. They could only be destroyed and not unlocked.

"Spiritual senses could only scan the surrounding cultivators but won't be able to see the covers of the rare techniques," Zhen Congming said while rubbing his hands; he felt a bit challenged.

If this problem couldn't be solved, they would have to go back for now and wait for another opportunity.

"I'll try…" Hao Ren suddenly sat down cross-legged.
