Hao Ren and his group flew out of the valley, heading towards the Sixth Layer Sky.

The Fifth Layer Sky and the Sixth Layer Sky were strictly divided. Cultivators from the Fifth Layer Sky were forbidden to enter the Sixth Layer Sky without special permission from a sect in the Sixth Layer Sky.

Therefore, there was a large-scale one-way barrier between the Fifth Layer Sky and the Sixth Layer Sky. Cultivators from the Sixth Layer Sky could freely enter the Fifth Layer Sky, but those entering from the Fifth Layer Sky had to use designated passages.

Such passages were managed by several sects in the Sixth Layer Sky to prevent cultivators from the Fifth Layer Sky from infiltrating.

Of course, for an array master like Jin Cunming, such barriers were meaningless.

Jin Cunming casually pointed a finger and the barrier melted away as if it was a plastic bag with a hole.

Hao Ren and his group entered one after another.

The first feeling upon entering the Sixth Layer Sky was the abundance of spiritual energy, which rushed towards them.

If the average concentration of spiritual energy in the Fifth Layer Sky was four to five times that of the First Layer Sky, then it was ten or more times for the Sixth Layer Sky. Any peak or corner here could be considered a "holy land" compared to the First Layer Sky. Such concentrations of spiritual energy would also be fiercely contested by sects in the Fifth Layer Sky.

Hao Ren's Mystic Peak had only six to seven times the concentration of spiritual energy as the First Layer Sky, slightly higher than the average in the Fifth Layer Sky, which had already caused three nearby sects to fight over it.

Practicing here would undoubtedly be better. Hao Ren thought to himself.

This was actually also the thought of many cultivators from the Fifth Layer Sky. However, unless they were exceptionally talented and recognized by a sect in the Sixth Layer Sky or had reached the Nascent Soul stage and become true powerhouses, they could never enter the Sixth Layer Sky throughout their lives.

"Follow me." Jin Cunming said coldly as he stepped on his black round disc and sped towards the west.

Jin Cunming used to be a regular visitor in the Sixth Layer Sky and even visited the Seventh Layer Sky several times. He was very familiar with the distribution of sects in the Sixth Layer Sky.

But in recent years, his master Qiu Niu had closed himself off for cultivation in the Nine Dragons Palace, leaving Jin Cunming alone in the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace. Without Qiu Niu's support, he did not dare to casually visit the Sixth Layer Sky and even needed to be very careful in the Fifth Layer Sky—given his Kan Level realm, there was still a chance that he would be caught, and if he couldn't send a message to his master, the sects would deal with him as an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator...

If he reversed his cultivation stage and revealed his true form, it would cause even greater trouble... waking up his master in closed retreat at the Nine Dragons Palace was not something to be trifled with...

Jin Cunming's round disc left a dark trail. Hao Ren and the Lu sisters followed closely behind him. Although Jin Cunming's black round disc looked ugly, it was an excellent magical treasure that could match the speed of Nascent Soul cultivators when driven to its full potential.

Meanwhile, Xiao Bai's speed was not inferior to that of Core Formation cultivators. The Lu sisters were even stronger; they originally had the strength equivalent to Core Formation stage.

Zhao Yanzi, riding her Purple and Blue Treasure Sword with only勉強達到築基期的實力 (N.B.: This phrase doesn't need translation as it's a level description), found it slightly difficult to keep up with He Ren’s group.

When He Ren turned around and saw Zhao Yanzi lagging behind, he patted Xiao Bai’s rear end. The white rabbit circled back half a turn and supported Zhao Yanzi’s wrist.

Zhao Yanzi suddenly felt her speed increase dramatically; then she realized that the ground beneath her feet had disappeared. Her Purple and Blue Treasure Sword was already in He Ren's hand, while she herself was gently pulled onto Xiao Bai's back, sitting on He Ren's chest.

"Here’s your sword," said He Ren as he placed the Purple and Blue Treasure Sword into Zhao Yanzi's hands.

Zhao Yanzi blushed slightly. She wanted to retort but couldn't find the words. She had thought that He Ren would take this chance to mock her, but instead, he used both hands to hold down her arms, patting Xiao Bai’s neck.

Whizz…

Xiao Bai accelerated and quickly caught up with Zhen Caiming and the Lu sisters.

Zhao Yanzi felt that He Ren's chest and arms were warm, causing her face to flush. Fortunately, it was nighttime, so He Ren couldn't see the change in her expression.

The overall scenery of the Sixth Layer Sky was similar to that of the Fifth Layer, except the mountains here were higher and more widely spaced.

Between these floating mountain ranges in the Sixth Layer Sky lay dense fog. If one fell from here, they would drop directly into the Fifth Layer, and if unlucky enough, all the way down to the First Layer.

This is why cultivators of cultivation sects above the Fifth Layer Sky were extremely cautious about flying between peaks without reaching Core Formation stage.

Swish-swish-swish…

The shadows of He Ren and his companions cut through the rugged mountains.

Zhen Caiming was well-versed in these routes, skillfully avoiding all cultivation sects' cave abodes and watchtowers on this level.

Unlike those in the Fifth Layer Sky, Sixth Layer Sky’s cultivation sects were formidable, each guarded by a powerful Core Formation cultivator. If any of them discovered their trail, it would spell trouble.

"We can't enter from the front; we need to go through the back mountain," said Zhen Caiming, riding his black disk in a low voice.

He swiftly turned and led He Ren’s group around to the rear of one of the peaks.

The rear mountain of the Tiang Shan Sect boasts thousands of acres of fertile farmland and a vast area for spiritual beasts to roam, which is hundreds of times larger than the Medicine Valley on the Fifth Heaven where Hao Ren was.

The foundation and resources of sects in the Sixth Heaven are indeed incomparable to those in the Fifth Heaven. Just this rear mountain alone would be enough to establish three small sects in the Fifth Heaven.

"These mountains form the core area of Tiang Shan Sect. Actually, the six surrounding mountain ranges also belong to its territory. Inner disciples reside within the sect's central compound while outer disciples live in the nearby mountain ranges," Zhen Ciming said as they flew.

“How many disciples are there roughly” Hao Ren asked.

"There are 30,000 inner disciples and 150,000 outer disciples." Zhen Ciming replied.

Hao Ren was secretly amazed. He became even more cautious about tonight's infiltration operation. He guessed that the girl from Tiang Shan Sect should be an inner disciple and a core disciple at that. Her arrogance and confidence in the Fifth Heaven were indeed justified.

While Zhen Ciming spoke, he had already led Hao Ren and his companions to a small forest on the rear mountain.

"This is the animal area. It's safest to enter from here," Zhen Ciming said as he landed and took out some tools from his sleeve.

“We’re at the edge of the protective mountain formation. Destroying one corner will allow us to get in. Of course, there are various formations inside too, but I’ll lead you through safely,” He inserted a spirit stone into an array formation he had set up temporarily and saw faint green light emerge several centimeters ahead.

Zhen Ciming held up a small yellow flag like a guide leading the way. The emerald protective mountain formation immediately cracked open a tiny opening.

This gap was sufficient for Hao Ren and his companions to walk in calmly without alerting the protective formation.

With Zhen Ciming's methods, dealing with mountain protection formations of Seventh Heaven sects would be more troublesome, but handling those from Sixth Heaven sects was practically effortless.

Tiang Shan Sect’s medicinal garden had been raided by Zhen Ciming a few years ago. This incident shocked all the high-level cultivators in Tiang Shan Sect; they doubled their patrol forces for months afterwards. And today, Zhen Ciming returned to do it again.

Zhen Ciming casually broke another barrier as he led the way.

In this wild forest on the rear mountain lived a large group of snow lions that had been sleeping but were now wide awake with their eyes glowing coldly upon sensing intruders.

Zhao Yanzi, walking beside Hao Ren, quickly grabbed his arm.

Hao Ren raised his left hand and suddenly, a ball of fire appeared in his palm.

As the light rose, they clearly saw nearly two hundred snow lions surrounding them.

These snow lions are at least second-order snow lions.

A single second-order spirit beast is equivalent to a cultivator in the Core Formation stage.

Xiao Bai walked up front, chirped twice, rolled on the spot, and wagged its tail, trying to show that everyone was on friendly terms.

Roar… Two hundred snow lions roared simultaneously.

Xiao Bai realized something was amiss and quickly tucked its head under He Ren's arm as protection.

"Humph" Zhen Cunming stood there, stomping her foot.

An aura emanated from Zhen Cunming’s body; the snow lions’ eyes instantly filled with fear. Soon after, they let out mournful wails and lowered their heads, scattering in all directions.

Xiao Bai was ecstatic and immediately ran from He Ren's side to Zhen Cunming's, rubbing its head against her knee affectionately.

He Ren could only be speechless toward this creature.

Zhen Cunming led the group forward. The second-order snow lions that were awakened all kept their distance, while third-order snow lions hid in their dens and didn’t dare come out.

As for fourth-order and above snow lions, they are personally fed by senior elders of the sect and do not live in the wild.

The Beast Zone, which is extremely dangerous to ordinary cultivators, was like a walk in the park for He Ren's group.

After passing through the territory of the snow lions, there were also areas where other spirit beasts lived. However, these spirit beasts kept their distance upon seeing Zhen Cunming.

Zhen Cunming broke layer after layer of barriers and led He Ren’s group into the “Flower Zone” at the back mountain.

The Sky Mountain Sect is known for raising spirit beasts and cultivating spiritual herbs, so the back mountain was divided into a Beast Zone and Flower Zone. Of course, their goal was the Scripture Pavilion, so Zhen Cunming deliberately avoided the key areas of these zones—these regions were usually heavily guarded with complex formations.

Back then, Zhen Cunming uprooted all the spiritual herbs in the important medicinal herb garden in the Flower Zone, causing severe losses to the Sky Mountain Sect.

"Who are you, and what right do you have to intrude into the Sky Mountain Sect"

Suddenly, a thunderous feminine voice rang out from a cliff on He Ren's right side.less beauties.Seeing Su Han's simple yet alluring outfit, Hao Ren felt somewhat flustered."Little SuSu!" Grandma's eyes crinkled with joy as she called out.Hmm... Little SuSu... Hao Ren nearly vomited...
