Dragon King's Son-In-Law
Chapter 779 - One Step Ahead
Panda Novel
Hearing Hao Ren words, Xie Yujia was worried as well.
She was also concerned about Grandma’s safety but thought that the issue would be solved now that Qingfeng Hermit had gone up to the Heavenly Realm to speak for them.
“Move!”
The square-shaped sword array formation suddenly tightened up.
Although Grandma was temporarily safe, no one could ensure the same after one or two weeks.
No one could understand the anxiety inside Hao Ren!
He remembered Grandma’s old face, the mooncakes that she made, and her expectant eyes when she stood at the door and waited for his return on the weekends.
How could Hao Ren bear to see her die like this without experiencing a lot of happiness?
“F*ck the Heavenly Dao and fates!” Hao Ren would never allow his grandma to be erased as easily as a grain of sand.
While the Heavenly Dao turned into the next cycle, it wouldn’t care about a mortal’s life. In the eyes of those powerful figures, the mortals were just ants, and saving them would break their rules!
Hao Ren could do nothing about it without great power!
Hum!
All the sword energies entangled with each other and trapped the Ocean-Pacifying Godly Pillar like a huge net.
“Hao Ren, be careful!” Xie Yujia reminded him.
Since these sword energies were connected to Hao Ren’s mind, if they were shattered by the Ocean-Pacifying Godly Pillar, he would be severely injured!
However, the Ocean-Pacifying Godly Pillar didn’t struggle this time. Instead, it rushed into Hao Ren’s chest following the sword energies!
Xie Yujia blinked, wondering how it got in.
“Back!”
The real battle began inside Hao Ren’s body!
All the sword energies entered his body and chased after the Ocean-Pacifying Godly Pillar!
The 100,000-year Seven-Core Five-Color Lotus released waves of signals, propelling the five-elemental nature essence to track down the Ocean-Pacifying Godly Pillar.
After thousands of years’ deprivation of pure five-elemental nature essence, the Ocean-Pacifying Godly Pillar began absorbing the nature essence from Hao Ren’s mystic crystal like a fish in water, traveling along his hands, feet, chest, and neck.
Astonished, Xie Yujia saw waves of golden light moving along Hao Ren’s skin as if a small fish were moving inside his body.
Suddenly, the golden light stopped at one position in his right hand, showing a distinct shape of a stick in his palm.
Hao Ren tamed it!
The golden shield hovered around Hao Ren, hoping that he would take it as well. Even if it couldn’t become his natal dharma treasure, it would like to take him as its master!
“Let’s go!”
However, Hao Ren ignored it and took Xie Yujia’s arm before rushing out of the sea.
When Lady Zhen advised Hao Ren to take the Ocean-Pacifying Godly Pillar as his natal dharma treasure, she had implied that Hao Ren had the potential of accomplishing this goal.
Sure enough, after the Ocean-Pacifying Godly Pillar entered his body and realized that this was a little world full of five-elemental nature essence, it settled down!
While Hao Ren and Xie Yujia flew out of the sea, their clothes were already dry.
Dejected, the golden shield could do nothing but follow Hao Ren obediently.
The best five-elemental mystic crystal and the best natal dharma treasure in the world were a perfect match, and Hao Ren had both!
Seeing the confidence on his face, Xie Yujia finally smiled in relaxation, knowing that his personality would help him get through difficulties.
Boom! Despite their slower speed than Lady Zhen and Kui, it took them only an instant to return to East Ocean City.
The vortex above the East Ocean Dragon Palace became bigger compared with four days ago while the black mist looked even thicker.
This weird vortex had attracted the attention of the world, and dozens of helicopters had been hovering in the high sky during this period.
The edge of the vortex was now less than ten kilometers from East Ocean City’s harbor. All the ships docked at the harbor had evacuated while all the police and military vehicles stationed at the coastline showed that no results came out of the detecting devices.
Due to the huge suction force of the vortex, the submarine had to retreat immediately before it could get close to it.
Since the situation was getting out of control, the government was considering the evacuation of the residents in East Ocean City. However, with tens of millions of people living in the city, it wasn’t an easy task!
“Yujia, go to Grandma first,” Hao Ren said while releasing Xie Yujia’s arm.
“Hao Ren…” She looked at him in concern.
“I’ll be fine. You must guard Grandma,” Hao Ren said.
Then, he looked up and seemed to see a dragon flying by in disguise.
“Go!”
Hao Ren circulated his nature essence and shot out the Ocean-Pacifying Godly Pillar from his palm!
Meanwhile, he created a gust of strong wind and sweep up a lot of seawater, forming a storm!
The helicopters hovering in the air got the order and left one by one, and the police officers guarding the coastline couldn’t keep their balance and had to get into the cars.
Vaguely, people saw a flash of golden light in the storm.
Boom!
The Ocean-Pacifying Godly Pillar entered the center of the vortex and sealed the ancient devil eye at the dragon cemetery of the East Ocean Dragon Palace!
When this pillar was shoot out from Hao Ren’s palm, it had been as tiny as about a dozen millimeters, but its width grew to tens of meters when it sank into the ocean.
Pacifying the ocean!
All the currents in the ocean settled down suddenly.
The violent devil essence was instantly suppressed.
With his mind connected with the Ocean-Pacifying Godly Pillar, Hao Ren sensed that the devil essence under the East Ocean Dragon Palace had a depth of thousands of meters, and it would cause more trouble in the future.
“Withdraw!”
Floating on the sea surface, Hao Ren yelled without hesitation, knowing that the Ocean-Pacifying Godly Pillar which could suppress devil essence should be able to absorb it!
In ancient times, there was no division between immortals and devils, and the Ocean-Pacifying Godly Pillar absorbed the nature essence and devil essence to get to where it was. Even though the devil essence was beyond the control of the five elements, it couldn’t escape from this pillar’s suppression.
Coming from the ancient times, the Ocean-Pacifying Godly Pillar was also a hundun treasure and could absorb this ancient devil essence.
In fact, if Da Yu hadn’t placed it here to control the flood, it wouldn’t have the opportunity to obtain both nature essence and devil essence to grow this fast.
With its mind connected to Hao Ren’s, the Ocean-Pacifying Godly Pillar got Hao Ren’s order and began to suck in the devil essence like crazy. After resting in the Dragon God Shrine for hundreds of years, it needed abundant energy to replenish the stock, and the devil essence was an elixir to this pillar.
While the devil essence diminished gradually, Hao Ren could see that the East Ocean Dragon Place had received little damage.
Except for the destroyed dragon cemetery and the few collapsed palaces that were close to the back mountain, the remaining palaces were intact.
Pu… After taking in the last trace of devil essence, the Ocean-Pacifying Godly Pillar returned to Hao Ren’s palm. Without any concept of justice and evil, it didn’t distinguish between right and wrong, which meant that it didn’t care if it would battle its way to the Heaven Realm or the Devil Realm.
Seeing that Xie Yujia wasn’t by the sea, Hao Ren knew that she had gone back to the hospital. After stopping the violent storm, he created an energy sphere and flew toward Eastern Hospital.
The people who were staying by the coastline were astonished when they saw that the ocean had returned to normal with the end of the storm.
In a flash, Hao Ren arrived at Eastern Hospital which was now in chaos since people here got the news that they might have to evacuate. It would be easy for ordinary residents to move, but it was a complicated issue for the many patients in the hospital.
When Hao Ren walked into the ward, he saw his parents, Zhao Yanzi, and Zhao Baibai were in there. Xie Yujia had returned and was talking with Grandma.
He noticed that the golden shield had followed Xie Yujia here and was resting on Zhao Baibai’s hair as a small hairpin.
Lady Zhen was also in the ward, taking Grandma’s wrist in her hand like a daughter. Zhen Congming stood by her side, looking at Grandma with a silly smile on his face.
Hao Ren could see that Lady Zhen was injecting connate vital essence into Grandma’s body by holding her hand.
This connate vital essence was extremely precious to cultivators, and probably only Lady Zhen, who was the Phoenix who could resurrect, dared to use her connate vital essence this way.
“You two silly kids. Since this is my fate, you didn’t have to travel so far to burn incense sticks for me in the ancient temple. Ay, there was no cell phone connection in the mountains…” Grandma looked at Xie Yujia and said, “I’m happy as long as you are here with me.”
Her tone was filled with sadness.
Yue Yang and Hao Zhonghua looked at Hao Ren and sighed lightly, thinking that he had taken Xie Yujia to the mountains and prayed for Grandma by burning incense sticks.
They didn’t believe in such stuff but felt dejected that Grandma had little chance of recovering. The central government at Beijing had sent several medical experts to see Grandma, but none of them could find the cause of the illness while Grandma’s health deteriorated quickly.
Ding! Yue Yang’s cell phone rang suddenly.
She answered it and nodded. “It’s solved? Did it settle down by itself? That’s strange. Wait for a while before probing the area again. I’m busy now, and I’ve got to go.”
She put away her cell phone and whispered to Hao Zhonghua who nodded in surprise after hearing her words.
“If you have work to do, go ahead. I’m fine,” Grandma said.
“Mom, it’s not a big deal. It’s solved now,” Yue Yang answered immediately.
Since the vortex in East Ocean had gotten out of control, she and Hao Zhonghua had been taken to the site by a helicopter for investigation. Now hearing the news that the vortex had disappeared, they were relieved despite having questions on their minds.
“Zhen, for some reason, I feel better after you came to see me,” Grandma took Lady Zhen’s slim hand and said happily.
“Auntie, you will get better!” Lady Zhen comforted her with a smile.
Seeing Hao Ren standing by the bed, Zhao Yanzi moved to his side. In the past two days, her parents had come to see Grandma several times, and Premier Xia who had been brought to the city by Lu Qing had also come to see Grandma with them.
Thinking that Premier Xia had left East Ocean City to begin his new life, Zhao Yanzi got a little sentimental, which made her miss Hao Ren even more.
Thud! Thud… Duan Yao who was in a small floral jacket jogged into the ward with a hot water bottle in her hand.
Hao Ren turned his head and saw her putting the hot water bottle in a corner before sitting on a small chair by Lady Zhen and reading a comic book.
Boom! Suddenly, a huge black shadow floated across the high sky.
“It seems like it’s going to rain…” Grandma looked out of the window and said with sadness in her voice.
“Yao, didn’t you say that you want to eat spicy chicken wings? Ask your Brother Hao to take you out and buy some for you.” Lady Zhen turned to look out of the window and said to Duan Yao mildly.
However, with his greatly improved senses, Hao Ren clearly saw a trace of alarm in Lady Zhen’s eyes.
