《Kaiju Maker in Another World》


 Chapter 1: End of the Beginning

    Chapter 1: End of the Beginning


    Hello, there.


    I''m NineClouds.


    Just a head up. This is the rewrite of my previous work, <strong>[Kaiju User in the Cultivation World]</strong>.


    I hope you enjoy the story~!


    --- Chapter 0 ---


    Under the shade of the Cherry Blossom Tree, a young man dozed on the grass and enjoyed the gentle gust of wind. The warm sunlight brushed his ck hair and handsome face, giving him a certain charm.


    He''s around seventeen or eighteen, with a slim but healthy build. Average to everyone in this country.


    He wore a standard ck zer and pants,plementing his look."Hayate-kun." Someone suddenly covered the sunlight from the young man, making thetter twitch his brows.


    "Oh, Council President Koyori. What do I do to owe this pleasure to you ruining my lovely nap?" Hayate opened his eyes, revealing a pair of beautiful gold-like gems.


    A little smirk of annoyance appeared on his handsome face.


    The Council President, Koyori Nakamura, is a petite youngdy with long ck hair and gentle blue eyes. She wore the same zer as Hayate, but there was a cat hairpin on the right side of her hair.


    "Stop with that formal way of speaking, though I know you only want to annoy me back." The Council President, named Koyori, smiled at him.


    "You know that today is your awakening ceremony day, right?"


    Hayate rolled his eyes and lifted his hand, gazing at the blue sky with falling cherry blossom petals.


    This scene causes him to feel mncholic.


    Hayate Kurogami experienced an event that was ''inherently.'' described as unbelievable.


    Two and half years ago, when Hayate just entered 1st year of high school, he was hit by a truck.


    He epted his death, knowing he had a loving family and loyal friends.


    He even joked about encountering Truck-kun''s legendary delivery service.


    But no!


    He awakened in a hospital bed with a bandage all over his body.


    Hayate never felt so grateful in his life before. That''s until he realized this world wasn''t the same world he used to live in.


    This world is an ''Alternative World'' with a simr yet different history.


    At the end of 2nd World War, September 2, 1945, extreme radiation hit the earth. Living beings awakened their inborn potential and abilities, bing the first-ever Awakener in the world.


    Of course, since all living beings experience radiation, wildlife mutated and bes terrifying monsters.


    The world just recovered from the 2nd World War. They couldn''t resist the extreme waves of Mutated Monsters! Firearms and bombs are useless as Mutated Monsters have their abilities.


    Five years of dark history happened, and humanity lost 60% of its poption.


    Despite the bitter experience, humanity banded together and reimed over half of the earth.


    One city after another.


    One generation after another.


    Seventy years passed, and the young generation inherited their predecessor''s will and talents.


    Today is August 18, 2020.


    Hayate Kurogami is at the end of his high school life, meaning he''d awaken his potential and talent soon.


    After graduating high school, he nned to experience university for three years and enlisted in the military.


    Even then, it depends on Hayate''s awakened talent.


    Although humanity banded together, discrimination still exists.


    If one awakens trash talent, society will condemn it.


    "Awakening, huh? I''d pass."


    "Eh?" Koyori was speechless.


    "But I want to know your talent, hmph!" She pouted at him.


    In their first year, Koyori was ''actually.'' saved by Hayate from a group of thugs. It makes her first impression of the ck-haired young man soar high.


    She always clings close to Hayate, overseeing and knowing him more.


    Koyori doesn''t know where her confidencees from. Still, she believes Hayate Kurogami is ''naturally'' destined for greatness!


    Awakening Ceremony Day held by high schools isn''t mandatory as awakening happens naturally anyway. Many youth attend this event to attract attention, hoping their dream university would catch a glimpse of their talents.


    Well, only poor or middle-ss students would do this.


    People with connections have their ways, even if their talents aren''t the best.


    As if they were ying Gacha, everyone''s talents are random.


    Hayate waved his hand and said, "I''ll tell you my talent tomorrow."


    "I had to go and meet Nakiri-sensei."


    As Hayate yawned and walked away, Koyori stared at his back helplessly.


    There is a hint of worry and excitement in her heart.


    Walking to the Martial Arts Club, Hayate heard a loud smacking noise.


    He peeked into the room and saw a tall, beautiful woman in her mid-twenties smacking a punching bag.


    She wore a sports bra and pants, having her long brown hair tied in a ponytail.


    "Uh, oh." Hayate was about to sneak and escape when a pair of red eyes locked on his back.


    Bang!


    The punching bag exploded, spraying sand everywhere.


    "Hayate,e in. Don''t even think about running away." The woman said with a smile. Her red eyes are still gazing at him.


    "Shit, I''m dead."


    Hayate sighed and entered the room full of gym equipment and fourrge arenas.


    "Evening, Nakiri-sensei."


    Mei Nakiri is the advisor of the Martial Arts Club. At the start of high school, she took the fancy of Hayate''s raw potential and groomed him to be a fine martial artist.


    Oh, yeah. Mei also has the moniker of Demon Teacher. Not only because her training is ''literally'' demonic but also because her talent is rted to transformation.


    She''s beautiful indeed. Even Hayate daydreamed about her every once and then, but he couldn''t be her with the strength he had.


    Mei Nakiri waved her hand and cleaned the sand on the floor. She smiled at Hayate and asked, "Today is your awakening day, right?"


    "Yeah," Hayate responded with a nod.


    "Good, then let''s start with breaking your body. By squishing all your energy out, the awakening will be smoother." Mei added, sending a shiver down Hayate''s spine.


    "Nakiri-sensei, mercy-!" Hayate watched the ferocious woman pouncing him.


    "Argh!"


    ...


    Hayate returned home with soreness all over his body. If this world wasn''t the alternative world, he should have died every day, considering Nakiri-sensei''s teaching broke his body daily.


    The onlyforting time he had was with his bed.


    Hayate''s house is a two-story building with a decentndscape and everything.


    Opening the front door, Hayate opened his mouth and said gently, "I''m home."


    Silence greeted Hayate, but he didn''t mind.


    Upon waking up from hisa, Hayate received news that his parents had died. In this world, he and his parents were ''inly.'' struck by a trailer truck and tossed out of the cliff.


    It was an ident, resulting in his parents'' death as they protected him with their Talents.


    ''An alternative world at its finest.'' Hayate sighed, tossing his shoes off and tidying them into the shoe box.


    He made a simple meal and hit the shower, taking a ss of milk shortly after.


    Hayate nced at the sky from the window of his room, seeing the sight of N-Tokyo. The city is bustling with activity.


    After thinking about something, He shook his head, "I don''t know if this second chance of life is a curse or a blessing."


    Hayate Kurogami always wondered why he experienced such a thing, but he couldn''t find the answer no matter what. His shallow knowledge is not profound enough to know this world''s mystery.


    He nced at the clean bed and smiled, "Well, isn''t this my dear bed."


    "I''m tired, so give mefort and a nice dream, can''t you."


    Hayate acted like he had a mental problem. However, it was merely a coping mechanism.


    As Hayate jumped onto the bed and covered himself with a nket, he closed his eyes and said, "Good night."


    Hayate floated in a dreamy, cloudy-like space for an unknown time.


    He heard roars and cries of monsters, frowning.


    The intense roars and cries kept ringing in his head.


    He felt his heartbeat rising each second.


    Under the nket, Hayate clenched his chest as a pained expression formed on his handsome face.


    "Fuck, fuck!" Hayate woke up in cold sweats. The lingering pain and roars still affected him.


    "What the fuck. Even being hit by a truck isn''t painful."


    "Even Nakiri-sensei''s punch felt milder than this." He cursed, feeling his veins and arteries about to burst out.


    Hayate suffered until midnight.


    It ended when a gecko entered his field of vision. As if Hayate was pletely'' consumed by instinct, he killed the gecko and heard something ringing in his head.


    He was so in pain that he became angry.


    After calming himself down, Hayate looked at his arm where the gecko should be and discovered a small brown marble sphere instead.


    "Huh?"


    <em>Swallow!</em>


    <em>Swallow!</em>


    His instinct whispered to him.


    Hayate frowned, feeling his arm move by itself to his mouth.


    Two sets of information alongside the gecko''s memories flowed into his head.


    Minor Regeneration (F) acquired.


    Sticky Hands (F) acquired.


    "..." Hayate pinched himself.


    "Is this real?"


    "Am I hallucinating?"


    Hayate sat on the edge of his bed, contemting his awakening. He tried to close his eyes and delve more into this ability, but all he found was the cloudy world.


    He stopped panicking and reviewed everything for hours.


    The first set of information he received was about his talent. It was a no-name talent that allowed him to crystallize essence into a marble.


    In this case, the gecko''s essence was ''directly'' crystallized when Hayate killed it in rage.


    Another set of information is about the other abilities of Hayate''s talent.


    He could consume the crystalized ''Essence.'' and obtain abilities from the dead target.


    Or he couldbine the crystalized ''Essence.'' with others, creating a hybrid creature.


    "This is such a viin-type of talent." Hayate mocked himself.


    However, it seems the Gacha God doesn''t abandon him.


    He was ''suddenly'' given a second chance and a cheat. Although Hayate doesn''t know if Gods or any powerful beings are involved in this, he''d rather live in peace unless someone provokes him first.


    Still, it doesn''t stop him from experimenting with this power.


    Before that, Hayate should name his talent. Unlike others, he''s rather unique.


    Upon awakening, one should receive the talent''s name with itsplete description. Yet Hayate only received thetter part.


    "Essence."


    "Crystallization."


    "Devour."


    "Hybrid Creation."


    "Hmm..."


    "Hybrid doesn''t sound very intimidating."


    "What about monsters, no..."


    "Kaiju, perhaps?"


    "Kaiju Creation?"


    "Annihtion Maker?"


    "No, it''s more of a fusion." Hayate stared at the poster on the wall. It was a poster of a massive lizard with lighting charging from its body, releasing a beam of light to the dark sky.


    Hayate also nced at the neat manga on his bookshelves.


    "Kaiju Maker." This name resonates with Hayate.


    Hayate smiled and watched the sunrise approaching.


    "Well, I can''t share the information of my talent with everyone now."


    "Except." Hayate dialed two phone numbers.


    "Council President, Sensei, hear me out."


    ...


    Three yearster.


    Hayate Kurogami opened his eyes with two women in his arms. They are Koyori Nakamura and Mei Nakiri, the two people he trusts the most in this world.


    After awakening his talent, Hayate told them about ''Kaiju Maker.'' because they wouldn''t and never sell him away.


    Koyori Nakamura is a youngdy from a prominent family. She has a cunning personality and deep connection.


    Mei Nakiri is one of the Vanguard, which means resisting mutated monsters is her duty.


    She saw Hayate''s potential, and with his talent, she couldn''t possibly let him go astray.


    For three years! These two helped Hayate research and experiment with Kaiju Maker.


    They bought an ind and built an underground facility only for him.


    Theirmitment and loyalty are unquestionable.


    Not only that, but their rtionship also grew deeper and deeper as they finally confessed their feelings.


    Having two partners doesn''t sound right for a lot of people. Nevertheless, Hayate felt blessed with such privilege.


    He loves them.


    They love him.


    And that''s all that matters.


    Kissing thedies on the cheeks, Hayate went to the training room and checked his physical fitness.


    He inhaled and exhaled air, sensing the surrounding area with all five senses.


    In this alternative world, talents are ''strictly'' graded from F to SSS.


    Even then, S-Grade alone is very rare in this world. There are only a handful of people who awakened S-grade talent. As for SS and SS-Grade, people could only dream about it.


    And without a doubt, Hayate''s talent is top-tier SSS Grade Talent.


    Although only two people know, Hayate has yed countless mutated monsters on the other side of the world and reduced their numbers to test his Kaiju Maker''s abilities.


    He was ''literally.'' given the title of Unknown Monster ughter King.


    A mysterious expert that wiped mutated beasts to help humanity.


    They would have never thought the mysterious expert was a young man in his early twenties.


    Hayate closed his eyes and immersed himself in the Kaiju Maker World. It was a small world within Hayate''s body, which functioned as a container for all the Kaijus he had created.


    Each kaiju was ''especially.'' contained within the kaiju marble sphere, just like Pokemon. Hayate got inspired by Pokemon, and he has no shame admitting it.


    Each marble sphere also has its own pocket environment suitable for the kaiju to live and sleep.


    There are hundreds, if not thousands, of marble spheres in Hayate''s inner world.


    "Let''s see..." Hayate picked raw essence spheres from mutated monsters called ''Thunderstorm Eel.'' and ''Cannon Beetle.'',bining them into one.


    A kaiju sphere appeared as Hayate sped his hand, releasing a bolt of lightning.


    He clenched his hand and summoned the kaiju out. It was a menacing beetle-like beast, standing with its two legs. An eel-like tail flowed from its back and connected to a metallic barrel of thick scales, seemingly charging it with electricity.


    Hayate changed the location andmanded the kaiju to release its most powerful attack.


    The metallic barrel on the kaiju''s back shone as a ray of light hit distant space and exploded, causing an electromaic wave to sweep everything in a kilometer radius.


    "Eel-Tailed Cannon Beetle." Hayate nodded in satisfaction, thinking even S-Grade Oceanic Mutated Monsters would have a difficult time against his creation.


    Hayate told the new kaiju to enter its sphere and return to the real world, stretching slightly.


    "Hayate, Hayate!" Koyori''s panicked shout echoed all over the facility.


    Hayate frowned and ran to Koyori''s experimental room, seeing her sitting on the table with a devastated look. Mei also leaned on the wall with a solemn look on her face, grimacing about something.


    "What happened?" He asked with confusion.


    Koyori looked at Hayate and said, "A huge cosmic storm is approaching the earth..."


    "The federation''s satellite shared this to everyone within Rank S Awakeners."


    "Cosmic Storm..." Hayate was speechless.


    "It means Apocalypse, Hayate." Mei sighed heavily. "The radiation that hit our 78 years ago weakened the atmosphere barrier, making it very fragile."


    "Once the Cosmic Storm hits us, the world will shatter." She added with a cheerless mood. "We-! No, all living beings are doomed."


    Hayate calcted something in his head and asked Koyori, "How much time do we have left?"


    "The federation has already ced a countdown. We have less than a day."


    "Migrating to others isn''t possible because the first radiation''s effects still left a residue in our sr system. If we have twenty-two more years, we can migrate as we predicted the residue will disappear in one hundred years..."


    "Dead end, truly a dead end." Meiughed bitterly.


    Hayate Kurogami closed his eyes and said, "There is a way."


    "A way for everyone to survive this disaster."


    "I will sacrifice myself-!"


    "DON''T EVEN THINK ABOUT THAT!" Koyori and Mei screamed at him.


    Tears welled up in their eyes.


    "I''d rather die with everyone else than see you sacrificing yourself." Mei hissed, biting her lips until they bleed. "I''m selfish, so what? me me for loving you this deeply!"


    Hayate''s achievement might not be in the federation''s record. However, he still achieved more than anyone else.


    He helped humanity for three years, wiping 90% of mutated monsters on the face of the earth. If he hadn''t interfered, countless countries and lives would have perished.


    They called him a hero for a reason.


    As for why Hayate didn''t expose himself, he doesn''t like the crowd''s attention.


    Koyori hugged Hayate tightly and sobbed, "Hayate, please don''t..."


    Hayate sighed, "You know this is the only way."


    "Humanity isn''t strong enough to handle the cosmic storm."


    He smiled and continued, "You two don''t want to see me die, but it goes the same for me."


    "I don''t want to see you two die..."


    "I''m just sad. It seems that our wedding was ''unfortunately'' canceled."


    He gazed at Mei warmly, "Mei, I always wondered why did I awaken such a powerful talent."


    "What''s my purpose..."


    "What I want."


    "I want to protect you two."


    "I want to protect humanity."


    "Without earth, humanity can''t exist... My family can''t exist."


    Hayate rubbed Koyori''s head gently and said, "We haven''t had breakfast."


    "Breakfast is important, you know?"


    "I''ll cook, so sit down and enjoy."


    Hayate went to the kitchen and cooked the most simple chicken porridge for his loved ones.


    "Let''s eat." Hayate sat around the table with Koyori and Mei, reminiscing about many happy memories in this tense moment.


    An rm rang in the facility.


    It''s time.


    "Koyori, Mei." Hayate leaned on the dining table, kissing their lips for thest time.


    "If reincarnation truly exists, I hope we can meet and fall in love again..."


    "I love you two."


    Hic!


    As Hayate walked away, Koyori''s tears fell to the porridge.


    Mei couldn''t handle her emotion well and punched the reinforced steel wall near her, breaking it. The whole facility also shook.


    "Let''s go. I want to see Hayate to the very end." Mei said in a gloomy mood.


    "Mm." Koyori nodded, wiping her tears off.


    They walked to the upper floor and stood emotionally on a sandy beach.


    ...


    Hayate Kurogami floated in the air. He looked at the sky andughed bitterly.


    Was he afraid?


    Yes.


    He already faced death once, and it was terrifying.


    Now is his second time.


    An incredible aura surged out from Hayate''s body. He soared to the sky with a white sh of lightning, gaining the attention of the federation''s drones.


    The federation has epted its demise.


    Even though they could warn the civilians, it wouldn''t bore any result.


    In this situation, even S-grade awakeners couldn''t do anything.


    All of them will face a simr demise.


    The drones caught Hayate''s act and spread it to everyone in the federation.


    Koyori contacted someone in the federation and told them to record this moment.


    Hayate hated attention, but he deserved to record his name. A name that would sound to the next generation, a name that wouldn''t disappear from the history of humankind!


    Humanity''s Savior!


    Hayate arrived in outer space.


    He looked at the piles of gasses approaching.


    He clenched his hand and summoned a crystal sphere. Massive energy erupted from the crystal sphere as Hayate''s body was ''thoroughly.'' covered by armor made of scales and furs.


    His body expanded beyond the size of the earth, darkening everyone''s sight.


    A pair of golden eyes shone brightly from the titan-like creature.


    "AAAAAAAHHHH!" Hayate let out a battle cry he rarely does.


    He charged forward and manipted several elements, pushing the cosmic storm away.


    The terrifying force behind the storm makes Hayate''s joints weak.


    His skin ruptured.


    His fleshes turned into a mushy mess.


    His blood evaporated.


    His bones turned into dust.


    Regeneration kicked in, creating a cycle of destruction and restoration.


    Excruciating pain like no ever struck Hayate''s body, but a fighting spirit still burned within Hayate''s soul.


    After sensing he was far enough, Hayate nced at the blue for thest time and closed his eyes.


    "Kaiju Maker... I hope you don''t disappoint me."


    "Thank you for serving me for three years, my kaiju. It''s time to show the world your might!"


    A bright golden light illuminated Hayate''s small world.


    The light spread out and swallowed everything.


    There is no fancy explosion, only silence.


    The cosmic storm shed with the light and got swallowed instead.


    On earth, everyone watched a beautiful golden light spraying the dark sky like fireworks. A ripple arrived, making everyone stop instinctively and feel sadness as if they lost something important.


    Koyori Nakamura and Mei Nakiri immediately dropped to the ground, crying messily. They hugged each other infort.


    A helicopternded at the private ind.


    "Head Researcher Nakamura, Squad Leader Nakiri." The members of the federation saluted them.


    Mei stood up with Koyori in her arms and said, "I want everyone to remember his deed!"


    "I want everyone to know!"


    "Built a monument. Today, humanity has lost its greatest guardian!"


    "YES, MADAM!" The members of the federation responded in unison.


    ...


    ...


    Primal Chaos, Forbidden Land of Samsara.


    Ripples appeared above the Well of Samsara.


    A foreign soul flew out, entering the well and causing a tremendous change in the Primal Chaos.


    The flow of destiny altered abruptly.


    On a distant star, a mirror within a silver pendant suddenly cracked.


    A ck-haired woman hugged herself in an ethereal space. She slowly opened her eyes and let out a confused hum.


    "The Well of Samsara..."


    "The destiny I established has changed."


    "How abnormal..." The woman closed her eyes again.


    "But this might be more interesting..."

 Chapter 2: Third Chance, Reincarnated

    Chapter 2: Third Chance, Reincarnated


    Author Note: I changed quite a lot of things, hope you like it!


    --- Chapter 1 ---


    Blue Wind Empire, Drifting River City.


    Within the inner courtyard of the Yu n, a young boy with short ck hair and pinchable cheeks sits down near a rock. He wore a loose white robe with a ck sash, pants, and shoes, making him look cuter than your average child.


    Leaning on the rock, the young boy stared at the flowing river with dark, gleaming gold eyes. Although he was a child, there is a hint of maturity in his expression.


    Most of it was disbelief.


    A sigh escaped the boy''s mouth, "Six years have passed."


    "I couldn''t remember much of my past life, but I''m a reincarnator without a doubt."


    "Now I''m in Cultivation World. Tsk, I can''t catch a break at all." Six years ago, Hayate Kurogami reincarnated as the fourth son of the Yu n''s Patriarch.


    He was named Yu Long. As cliche as it was, Hayate Kurogami couldn''t do anything about it.


    After six years, he could only ept this new identity.


    What''s more bothersome is that he got reincarnated into the world of Against the God.


    Yes, Yu Long knew this world, but not so much. He lost his interest after the main character went to the Divine Tournament or whatever it was to enter the white pearl thingy.


    After reading a few more chapters, he didn''t find much joy and stopped reading the novel.


    At least he reincarnated into a Blue Pr Star. Yes, this seemingly low-level star is a literal ''Starter Package'' for cultivation with three God Legacies and many other things.


    Given the information Yu Long gathered, he knew Yun Che was about the same age as him. In fact, He''s only one or two months younger than the protagonist.


    Aih, how unfortunate this third life is.


    "Young master, young master!" Someone shouted.


    Yu Long recognized this voice immediately and peeked, finding his maid walking around the courtyard. Maybe because he was small, the rock hid him well.


    The maid''s name is Li Li. Well, Yu Long called her Lily.


    Lily is a petite girl in a green maid robe. She has long ck hair styled in a bun and brown eyes. Her face might look ordinary, but it makes her unique, like your next-door type of girl.


    "Lily, I''m here." He waved his hand.


    "Young master, you''re giving me a panic attack. Please don''t disappear all of a sudden." Lily walked to him with a pout.


    Of course, Yu Long is no ordinary boy. He smiled and answered, "I''m bored."


    "I don''t think sitting and learning words I already know is productive."


    "Observing the beauty of nature is superior..."


    Lily felt troubled, thinking about how well her young master spokepared to other young masters.


    He''s the youngest of the four Yu n''s young masters, making him the abnormality within the n. Well, it also shows just how talented he was.


    After all, he''s only six.


    "Anyway, Madam is calling you, young master." Lily ced her hands on the hip.


    "Oh?" Yu Long was interested.


    Although he has read Against the God to a certain extent, experiencing the world firsthand is different. Many details the novel doesn''t convey always make him bbergasted.


    That''s why Yu Long asked for books above anything else.


    <em>Knowledge is power!</em>


    "Let''s go." Yu Long hopped and ran toward his mother''s room. They lived in the same courtyard, so a few seconds of walk was enough for him to reach the room.


    He entered the room and saw a maturedy knitting something.


    Yu Long''s mother is a green-eyeddy in herte twenties. Her ck hair was loose, draping over her bosom. She wore a casual red and white robe, giving her a motherly look.


    She''s the fourth wife of Yu n''s Patriarch, bearing the surname Meng previously and the given name Xin.


    "Mother." Yu Long hugged Yu Xin, rubbing his head against her soft mountains.


    It was heavenly, not going to lie.


    Yu Xin giggled at her son''s spoiled act and stroked his hair gently.


    "You''re asking for Martial Arts Books yesterday, right?"


    "Mother couldn''t find much, so I can only gather some. You can check themter in your room."


    "You''re the best, mother!" Yu Long happilyughed.


    Yu Xin shook her head, "This much is nothing."


    Yu Xin has heard that Yu Long''s half-brothers spend piles of Profound Coins buying useless toys. Compared to them, Yu Long is simply a gift sent by heaven.


    He''s a good, curious child.


    Obedient and never act like a spoiled child unless it''s rted to a book or rather knowledge.


    As a mother, how could she not support his passion?


    "Let''s have lunch." Yu Xin nced at Lily, making the maid nod.


    Yu Long sat on the chair near his mother and said, "I heard the eldest brother was renting a Martial Artist to be his teacher."


    "How was it?"


    "It''s... Well, amusing?" Hearing her son''s question, Yu Xinughed.


    "On the first day. Your eldest brother fired the teacher because he couldn''t teach him Profound Skills."


    "..." Yu Long''s mouth twitched.


    Yu Long''s eldest brother is the first young master of Yu n. His name is Yu Kai, and he''s the son of the Patriarch''s first wife.


    Yu Kai is six years older than Yu Long, meaning he''s twelve.


    His Profound Entrances isn''t mature yet, so he couldn''t possibly cultivate Profound Arts, let alone Profound Skills.


    ''Damn it, this ce is full of clowns.'' Yu Long sighed helplessly.


    "I feel bad for the teacher."


    "Indeed." Yu Xin nodded in agreement.


    "Then, again. Our n wasn''t ''inherently.'' focused on martial arts."


    Yu n is the only n in Drifting River City. They are focused more on business as they have restaurants, shops, and brothels in seven neighboring cities.


    They also have some franchises within New Moon City and Blue Wind Imperial City, generating ''slightly.'' better ies than others.


    Although Yu n is a business-focused n, it doesn''t mean they are bullyable.


    Yu Long''s father is quite a man. He knew his weakness, so he formed several business connections with stronger ns and even the ck Moon Merchant Guild.


    ck Moon Merchant Guild''s connection with Yu n might be weak, but that''s enough to repel greedy cultivators in the lower realm. All they needed was to stay humble and gather more experts.


    But with idiots like Yu Kai, Yu Long doesn''t think this n willst long.


    "Madam, Young Master." Lily brought a tray.


    "Let''s eat." Yu Xin ced down her knitting tools.


    ...


    After finishing his food, Yu Long bade farewell to his mother and checked his room.


    He entered the room full of books, seeing a new pile near his bed.


    A grin appeared on his youthful face as he immersed himself in a Martial Arts Book.


    Yu Long read until evening, feeling a little sleepy.


    Tsk, he hates being a child.


    Yu Long doesn''t know how old he was in his previous life, but he''s definitely older than six.


    Rubbing his eyes, Yu Long yawned and jumped onto the bed. He stared at the tiled ceiling and fell asleep.


    Unfamiliar memories flew by, and Yu Long suddenly gasped for air.


    He opened his eyes and sat on the bed, patting his chest painfully.


    "What was that?"


    "Uugh, my head..." Yu Long cursed, sweating profusely.


    That dream feels so real.


    Yu Long could feel new memories resurfacing just like one year ago. He rubbed his forehead and mumbled, "Kaiju Maker?"


    "What''s that?"


    As Yu Long delved into his memories, he discovered about Kaiju Maker.


    He frowned and mumbled, "Is this supposed to be my cheat?"


    "I know it." Heughed excitedly. "There is no way a reincarnator has no cheat!"


    Yu Long walked out of his room and tried to do something.


    He was searching for something.


    When a green insect came into Yu Long''s vision, his golden eyes shone brightly.


    Yu Long swatted the green insect and felt a weird sensation in his hand.


    A green sphere slowly formed with a magical yet invisible swirl.


    Seeing the spherend on his hand, Yu Long heard something at the back of his head.


    <em>Swallow it.</em>


    <em>Swallow it.</em>


    Yu Long brought the sphere into his mouth and felt another piece of information rushing in.


    <strong>Night Vision (F) Acquired.</strong>


    <strong>Echolocation (F) Acquired.</strong>


    "Dayuum!"


    "So cool!"


    At this moment, Yu Long''s new journey as the Kaiju Maker finally started!

 Chapter 3: Low Profile Grinding

    Chapter 3: Low Profile Grinding


    --- Chapter 2 ---


    One yearter.


    Yu Long ran around inside the forest. His speed is fast, skipping from tree to tree effortlessly.


    "Gotcha!" He stretched his right hand and caught a small yet beautiful butterfly with bright blue wings. A bright light enveloped the butterfly, turning the insect into a little blue sphere.


    A smile appeared on Yu Long''s face as he ate the sphere, sensing the informationing to his head.


    Blue ss Butterfly is a rare insect that exists in this forest. It appeared between summer and fall, possessing the ability to sense one''s Profound Energy and Tracking it.


    <strong>Profound Sense (E) Acquired.</strong>


    <strong>Tracking (F) Acquired.</strong>


    Wiping the sweat off his face, Yu Long went to the nearest water source and refilled his water bottle. As he drank the water, he saw his current reflection.


    Ha had grown slightly taller. His hair also became longer.


    One year has passed after Yu Long awakened [Kaiju Maker] again.


    Although his skill and mastery over [Kaiju Maker] are low, Yu Long started to get the hang of it. Every time his past life memories return, Kaiju Maker will gain qualitative change.


    At first, Yu Long couldn''t control [Crystallization] of the essence and wasted much prey.


    Well, he has be slightly better now.


    The abilities he gained after devouring the essence were also weaker than they should have been. For example, the Blue ss Butterfly is a tricky insect as it can sense the surrounding Profound Energy.


    It could detect anything around a 100-meter radius easily.


    If Yu Long hadn''t tried the Blue ss Butterfly with poison first, he wouldn''t have been able to catch it.


    Compared to his past self, who could even raise abilities grades despite the target''s low quality. Yu Long is inferior.


    He also couldn''t create [Kaiju] yet.


    As sad as it sounds, Yu Long couldn''t do anything about it.


    To create a [Kaiju], Yu Long has to generate enough "Inner Vitality." from his body and use it tobine the Essence Sphere.


    Inner Vitality is something Yu Long can''t use at the moment.


    He''s still young, and Inner Vitality is a raw potential needed for his growth.


    If Yu Long used it recklessly, he could be a child forever.


    That''s a big no-no.


    At least until puberty, he needs to conserve his Inner Energy.


    Why puberty?


    It is because puberty is the golden phase when one''s body grows the fastest, thanks to hormonal release.


    Thankfully, humans in the Against the God aged differently than humans in their past lives.


    That''s why many jade beauties exist. Their puberty hits differently.


    Even if it''s not the case, a sect like Frozen Cloud Asgard has Profound Arts that ''beautify'' girls by several grades.


    Yu Long looked around and found a safe, quiet ce to meditate.


    He wants to sort out the abilities he umted after a year.

    Although not much, Yu Long believed he obtained the necessary abilities to fight or run away from the enemy. Fortunately, he could stack or train the abilities to increase their grades.


    He shook his head, sighing at his limited growth.


    He couldn''t do much.


    Yu Long sneaked back to the Yu n and changed his clothes.


    "Lily, food." He said while reading some books.


    He''s studying the physiology of humans in this world, specifically profound veins used to cultivate.


    The purpose of profound veins is to hold energy. Each person is innately born with a set of these veins. It starts growing at birth and reaches maturity at around fourteen years old.


    Although Profound Veins do not affect one''s life and death, it was still a part of the body.


    The profound veins inside the human body are like a robust and mature tree with many branches spreading out in all directions.


    Each branchid an entrance. As for the trunk, it was the most significant core position of the veins, the base of all the veins. On this base, there were no profound entrances.


    On the other hand, profound entrances decide how high one''s talent is.


    A person can only have a total of Fifty-four Profound Entrances. If one has more entrances opened, their cultivation of the profound way and their activation speed will increase.


    A practitioner with twenty opened profound entrances would undoubtedly cultivate and activate their strength twice as fast as a practitioner born with only ten opened.


    The number of innately open Profound Entrances essentially decided the height one could reach during his entire life because it was ''extremely.'' difficult to open Profound Entrances postnatal.


    Extremely advanced miraculous medicine, chance, and luck; not even one of these factors could be absent.


    Using external forces to open Profound Entrances would be apanied by high risks. Even the slightest mistake would cause irreparable damage to the Profound Veins.


    When all fifty-four profound entrances are pletely'' opened, it is known as Heavenly God''s Spiritual Veins. The cultivation speed will be the maximum, and the owner will never hit a bottleneck!


    "Never hit a bottleneck? What a lie." Yu Long mumbled to himself.


    Heavenly God''s Spiritual Veins indeed increase one cultivation speed, but it depends on the individual. Another factor, such as goal, could affect one''s state of cultivation.


    After knowing this, Yu Long believed his future cultivation needed a perfect bnce.


    A perfect state of mind and body will cause a miraculous oue.


    "Young master, this is your food." Lily brought many tes on wide trays, cing them one by one on the table.


    "Thanks." Yu Long nodded, devouring the nearest food immediately.


    ''Young master is so cute.'' Lily thought while watching her squirrel-like little boss eating his food.


    Obliterating the food from existence, Yu Long patted his bulging stomach and sat down for a bit.


    The ability [Fast Digestion] kicked in, breaking the food in his stomach and letting him absorb the energy more efficiently.


    Yu Long exhaled turbid air from his chest and walked to the bathroom, entering a big basin with clean river water.


    [Self-Purification] activated on Yu Long''s body, purging out impurities.


    Soon, the water in the basin turned brown and dark.


    Yu Long jumped out and meditated again as [Improved Growth] ability triggered. A wave of rejuvenation swept over Yu Long, making him feelfortable.


    As if he had a breakthrough, his profound veins be more mature.


    "Uuuh..." Yu Long hissed in delight.


    No wonder Cultivators are addicted to breakthroughs and pills.


    It''s better than sex and drugs.


    ''Wait, how did I know this is better than sex? Have I ever had sex before in the previous life?'' Yu Long was ''suddenly'' struck by a realization.


    Yu Long pondered a bit and shrugged as time would reveal his previous life memory.


    He clenched his hand, "Hmm, 10% increase in physical fitness."


    "Also, did my skin be whiter and softer?" Hemented, observing the mirror''s reflection.


    Yu Long looked down at his little brother, "Hmm..."


    "I''m sure there is an ability that can increase length."


    "Should I research insects or small animals with this ability?"


    "Of course, this is more of an investment for my future."


    "Still, at this age. It can''t get hard at all."


    Yu Long sighed and walked out of the bathroom, wearing his clothes back. He was walking to his mother''s room, thinking about how he should ask for a Martial Art Instructor.


    Of course, he doesn''t do this purely for training his martial arts.


    Yu Long wants to know how cultivators in this world circte their energies.


    If possible. Yu Long wanted to test whether he could alter one''s profound veins and entrances.


    With that in mind, Yu Long confidently entered his mother''s room. She was sitting on her rocking chair, enjoying a cup of tea.


    "Long''er,e!" Yu Xin greeted him with a smile.


    "Give mother a kiss."


    Yu Long smiled and pecked her cheek, sitting on herp.


    "Mom, I want something." He said innocently.


    "Oh, what is it?" Yu Xin found it weird as her son was usually straightforward when asking about books.


    Yu Long gazed at her eyes and whispered, "I want a Martial Art Instructor..."


    "And that person must be a Nascent Profound Realm Master or above." He continued with a determination look.

 Chapter 4: Martial Arts Instructor

    Chapter 4: Martial Arts Instructor


    --- Chapter 3 ---


    One dayter.


    Yu n''s Courtyard.


    A man in his mid-twenties stood before Yu Long. The man''splexion is tanner due to the zing sun, with shortly cut ck hair, sharp eyebrows, and a high nose.


    He wore humble-looking attire, a loosely-cut dark blue robe, matching pants and shoes. Although he sported loose clothes, they couldn''t hide his somewhat muscr build.


    He looks handsome with an honest look and concealed valiant spirit, probably because he doesn''t want to scare Yu Long off.


    ''Hmm, 5th Level of Nascent Profound Realm. Not too bad, but not good either.'' Yu Long examined the Martial Arts Instructor.


    He doesn''t know how much his mother spends her money, but looking at this guy, she must pay him nicely.


    "Greetings, my name is Yu Long. Introduce yourself, Teacher." Yu Long said with a smile.The man was startled by Yu Long''s well-spokenness. He expected the child to be quite spoiled if he came from a n like this.


    He coughed off his embarrassment and replied, "Hello, young master. My name is Hong Wuji."


    "And I''m here to teach you about martial arts and build a strong foundation for your future cultivation."


    "Okay, how old are you?" Yu Long asked instead.


    "Eh, 25." Hong Wuji was confused.


    "Cultivation Realm?"


    "5th Level of Nascent Profound Realm."


    "How many of your profound entrances opened?"


    "Uh... Eleven..." Hong Wuji was overwhelmed by Yu Long''s rapid and straightforward questions. He looked at this bizarre child, wondering what kind of mess he delved into.


    Hearing the answers he wanted, Yu Long''s eyes lit up slightly.


    It seems Profound Sense from the Blue ss Butterfly works wonderfully.


    Yu Long currently observes Hong Wuji, precisely his inner part, and profound veins, and discovers a blue aura traveling inside.


    This blue aura is profound energy.


    It makes rotation inside the central veins and receives energy from the branches.


    Yu Long guessed the level of cultivation based on Hong Wuji''s energy purity.


    Tapping his chin, Yu Long opened his mouth and asked again, "Teacher Hong, can you demonstrate your profound arts and skills?"


    "And don''t worry. I won''t ask you impossible things like training me such things. I''m just curious how they work."


    "..." Hong Wuji.


    This kid is abnormal.


    Still, Hong Wuji sighed and said, "Step back, young master."


    Yu Long stepped a few meters back and used [Compound Eyes], [Thoughts eleration, and [Profound Sense] simultaneously.


    The world seems to be brighter for Yu Long as Hong Wuji''s movement bes slower.


    Hong Wuji entered a horse stance, and profound energy inside his body boiled, moving to his arms.


    He drove his fist forward, creating a ripple in the air.


    BAM!


    "zing Tiger Fist!" He roared, causing a small shockwave with a flurry of the ze.


    "Oh!" Yu Long couldn''t help but p his hand. "Amazing, amazing. But why did you have to shout your attack''s name?"


    "Isn''t that counterproductive if the enemy knows your move?"


    "Or is it because shouting the attack''s name enhances the move''s potency?"


    "Uh, uh...." Hong Wuji was dumbfounded once again.


    Since shouting the name of profound skills seems normal, Hong Wuji never thought of it. After all, it wasmon sense in this world.


    Yes, it doesn''t really bring any benefit.


    Maybe making it more glorious, but that doesn''t seem a good point.


    Yu Long''s questions made Hong Wuji question hismon sense.


    "I don''t know, young master..." In the end, Hong Wuji answered weakly.


    "It''s just an instinctual reaction."


    Yu Long rolled his eyes and cursed, "Cultivation World and its questionable logic."


    "Anyway..."


    "Teacher Hong, what can you teach me?"


    A few minutes ago, Hong Wuji would be confident in answering this question.


    However, now? He couldn''t help but solemnly stare at the golden-eyed child before him.


    Those golden eyes seemingly pierced through his soul.


    ''Is he really seven years old?'' This thought shed in Hong Wuji''s head.


    Hong Wuji shook his head bitterly, "I''m not confident about teaching young master anymore, but I''ll try my best to assist you."


    "Oh?" Yu Long expected Hong Wuji to resign, but this was also good.


    Hong Wuji''s mentality is solid.


    "Then, teach me more about the Blue Wind Empire." Heughed childishly.


    "Someone who had adventure outside like Teacher Hong must have more information than a child in this backwater n like me."


    "Okay." Hong Wuji nodded in understanding.


    ...


    Three weekster, Hong Wuji trained in the Yu n''s Courtyard, and Yu Long observed him silently.


    Their teacher-student rtionship is strange, but they definitely know more about each other now.


    Yu Long''s oddness never ceases to surprise Hong Wuji.


    He''s only seven years old and could disy a degree of discipline. At six in the morning, he exercises and does several sets of basic punches, kicks, and many others.


    Since a child is flexible, Yu Long''s exercise is very beneficial to build a healthy body.


    Even Hong Wuji tried Yu Long''s routine for two weeks and felt his foundation be firmer, making him ashamed.


    Who is the student here?


    Yu Long also showed extremeprehension capacity as he could copy Hong Wuji''s martial arts with a ''simple'' nce. Of course, we don''t include profound skills as Yu Long doesn''t have a cultivation base yet.


    Hong Wuji stopped and exhaled air from his chest.


    He clenched his fist and felt the profound energy within his body show a sign of a breakthrough.


    "Teacher Hong, can you help me with something?" Yu Long suddenly uttered.


    "I''ll try my best, young master." Hong Wuji answered instantly.


    Yu Long smiled and continued, "Can you hunt profound beasts and give me the corpse? Even low-level ones are okay."


    Hong Wuji was curious why Yu Long needed such a thing. Even then, he didn''t question his request.


    Profound Beasts are the term used for beasts that have the cultivation of Nascent Profound Realm. Profound beasts start their paths when entering this realm as they form cores.


    These cores are called Profound Cores and are ''highly'' sought after. They could make medicine and weapons with it.


    The higher the rank of the profound cores, the more valuable they are.


    Yu Long has experimented with insects and some small beasts near the Drifting River City. Theoretically, he could use [Kaiju Maker] on profound beasts, but he never tried as he doesn''t have a target to do it.


    He asked his mother once, but thetter rejected him. She probably thought he wanted a profound beast pet.


    Such a dangerous creature, Yu Xin won''t let it get close to her child.


    If only she knew Yu Long''s ability.


    "Profound beasts..." Hong Wuji mumbled to himself.


    "I think it''s possible."


    "Give me a few days, young master." He assured while patting his chest.


    ''A teacher? He''s more like ackey to me.'' Yu Long gave Hong Wuji an innocent smile.


    And just like that, Hong Wuji went out for five days.


    Yu Long''s life was like any other day until someone suddenly barged into his courtyard.


    "Fourth Brother!"


    It was his second eldest brother, another idiot.


    Yu Long clicked his tongue in annoyance but hid it.


    "Why are youing uninvited, Second Brother?"


    Yu Long''s second brother is five years older than him. He''s a chubby fellow with neatly cut ck hair and yellow-colored eyes.


    Unlike Yu Long''s white and ck robe, he likes to wear a bright yellow robe with a bold red sash.


    His name is Yu Gong.


    Yu Gong patted his belly and said, "I heard there would be a new dish in the Fragrance Restaurant. Elder Brother and Third Brother are busy with something else, so I thought of bringing you there instead."


    "No, thanks." Yu Long walked away.


    "Come on, just for this once!" Yu Gong hugged him from behind.


    "What''s good about reading books anyway? Trust me, this new dish will blow your mind!"


    "Tsk, fine." Yu Long sighed in defeat. Maybe he should enjoy his childhood more.


    "Hehe, you won''t be disappointed~!" Yu Gongughed loudly, making his belly jiggle.


    Yu Gong and Yu Long went out, strolling on the main road of the Drifting River City.


    They arrived at the Fragrance Restaurant and ordered the new item they had. It was a bowl of noodles with creamy white soup and a sprinkle of spices.


    Yu Long picked up his chopsticks and slurped the noodle.


    Savory vor hit Yu Long''s taste buds.


    Since his sense of taste was ''more'' enhanced thanks to [Kaiju Maker], he could tell the ingredients used for this bowl of noodles were fresh and high in quality.


    Slurp~!


    "T-This is not bad." He licked his lips andmented while looking at the empty bowl.


    "Right!" Yu Gong finished his second bowl already.


    Yu Long appreciates Yu Gong more now.


    Maybe this brother of his isn''t that idiot after all.


    They ordered more bowls, and Yu Long sessfully ate four servings himself. He could eat more, but he might get addicted.


    On the other hand, the chubby second brother devoured thirteen bowls, talking about addiction.


    They were walking on a lonely road, detouring from the main road.


    Yu Long frowned slightly, sensing three people hiding in the shadows.


    He was unfamiliar with these presences, guessing they were not from around here.


    "Fourth Brother." Yu Gong shook him. "What do you think? I''m not lying, right?"


    "Yes," Yu Long responded casually, which caused a grin to bloom on Yu Gong''s face.


    Yu Long is known as anti-social in the n. Bringing him out like this can be considered an achievement for Yu Gong.


    Yu Gong was about to say something when a ck shadow suddenly ambushed him. His vision darkened as thest thing he saw was Yu Long''s apathetic golden eyes.


    ...


    Yu Long caught Yo Gong with one hand and stared at the unknown man in ck. Then, he nced at the bush on the right and the tree on the left, smiling lightly.


    Their cultivations aren''t even at Nascent Profound Realm.


    Many scenarios ran in Yu Long''s head, and he quickly guessed these guys'' intentions.


    "I don''t know who you are, but..." He said indifferently.


    "You have chosen the wrong person to kidnap."

 Chapter 5: An Underwhelming Combat

    Chapter 5: An Underwhelming Combat


    --- Chapter 4 ---


    Yu Long observed the ''kidnappers.'' in his field of vision.


    He calcted their danger level quickly.


    Three enemies. All adult males. Cultivation Bases, 5th Level of Elementary Profound Realm.


    "I don''t know who you are, but..."


    "You have chosen the wrong person to kidnap."


    "Hmph." The man in ck snorted and haughtily walked to Yu Long. "It seems the report is right. You''re quite a bizarre child."


    "Still, it doesn''t mean anything."


    "Be a good boy, and you won''t feel any pain." Yu Long has never fought anyone before. He sparred a few times with Hong Wuji, but that''s it.


    However, he wasn''t nervous at all.


    Something inside Yu Long makes him feel confident.


    Yu Long tossed his Second Brother away and sprinted toward the man in ck. He could see a condescending smirk behind the ck cloth covering his face.


    Bio Electricity traveled to Yu Long''s fingertips as Profound Sense and Compound Eyes pointed to weakness in the target''s body.


    ''Die!'' Yu Long''s body strengthened, allowing him to hop and stab the man''s sr plexus.


    The man in ck shook his head, thinking it would feel like a tickle.


    "Argh!" A painful groan escaped the man''s mouth.


    Yu Long mmed the man''s mouth and said, "Goodbye."


    A wave of purple-colored poison sprayed from Yu Long''s sweat nds, drowning the man''s throat.


    The man in ck fell to the ground, twitching like a dead fish.


    Yu Long looked at the dying ''kidnapper'' andmented, "As expected, I didn''t feel remorseful..."


    As Kaiju Maker, Yu Long doesn''t view humans not rted to himself as humans anymore. They are clumps of essence, which he could crystalize and use.


    Yu Long wondered solemnly, "Just what kind of man I was in my previous life?"


    He used [Body Strengthening] again and parkoured into the tree. Since the other kidnappers are still shocked, he could kill one of them fast enough.


    The kidnapper in the tree watched Yu Long lunging toward him.


    "What-!"


    Yu Long jabbed the kidnapper''s neck and poisoned him.


    It was a swift process, and a twitching man fell from the tree and squealed like a pig.


    The kidnapper in the bush was terrified.


    He wanted to run away but failed to recognize a small leg tackling him down.


    Thud!


    The kidnapper crawled in fear.


    "Don''t kill me! Don''t kill me!"


    "I''ll tell you everything. Please don''t kill me."


    "Why should I?" Yu Long''s voice brushed his ears.


    "Even if you don''t open your mouth, I can still get your memories..."


    "Die or not, it''s the same for me."


    "Argh!" The kidnapper felt something touching his spine. A liquid traveled inside his body and released an intense electric shock, frying everything.


    Three adult men just wiped by a kid.


    It was also fast, less than a minute.


    "Their foundations are weak." Yu Long yanked his fingers out of the man''s back and grabbed a handkerchief, cleaning the blood. "I thought my first fight would be more interesting..."


    "Oh well."


    "At least I get more essence sphere." A wave sucked the corpse, turning it into a ck-colored sphere.


    Yu Long looked at the piles of clothes and profound coins, picking thetter unhurriedly. He turned two other corpses into essence spheres and checked their belongings.


    Counting his spoils of war, Yu Long ate one of the spheres and tossed the piles of clothes into trash cans.


    Memories of a man named Wang Wei entered his mind. And as Yu Long spected, someone ordered Wang Wei and two others to kidnap Yu n''s young masters.


    Their goal is to receive ransom money.


    Unfortunately, the person who rented these people covered himself when he made the deal. All Yu Long could discern was his gender and voice, which were barely enough for him to investigateter.


    Yu Long shook his head and grumbled unhappily, "Ten profound purple coins to kidnap me and Second Brother..."


    "Cheap ass kidnappers!" He couldn''t help butin, hoping to get more pocket money.


    Yu Long carried his Second Brother back to the Yu n. The guards were alerted by their appearance.


    "Fourth Young Master! What happened?" One guard stepped out and asked.


    "Kidnapper." Yu Long answered indifferently. "Three of them, but don''t worry much. Someone has dealt with them."


    Since Yu Long doesn''t want to reveal himself, he decides to lie and make a fake scenario. All he had to say was that an elder with a white beard and mustache helped him, and the guards believed him.


    Ah, the Cultivation World and their mysterious old man excuse.


    After handing the Second Brother to the guards, Yu Long returned to his courtyard and received two pieces of information.


    <strong>Bow Making (F) Acquired.</strong>


    <strong>Trap Making (F) Acquired.</strong>


    "Hmm, are these abilities?"


    "Well, this answered my guess. When I consume an essence sphere of humans, their former skills will be mine."


    "But it''s somewhatte, eh? I walked from that street to the Yu n for ten minutes." Yu Long rubbed his chin. "Maybe because I''m still young and [Kaiju Maker] hasn''t reached its full potential."


    "Whatever, one of my curiosity got answered."


    "Ugh, so sticky. I want to take a bath."


    As he immersed himself in the bathtub, someone knocked on the bathroom.


    Yu Long used his Profound Sense and smiled slightly.


    Even though he knew who it was, he still asked, "Who is there?"


    "It''s me." A dignified male voice echoed.


    Yu Long was excited, "Father, you''re back!"


    "Mm, finish your thing. I''ll be waiting in your room." Yu Long''s father responded calmly.


    Yu Long wiped his body clean and changed his clothes. He went to his bedroom and saw an adult man sitting on the edge of his bedroom, reading one of his research books about martial arts.


    Yu Long''s father is called Yu Zhan.


    He''s a dignified man in his mid-thirties. He has short raven hair, a defined jawline with stubbles, sharp eyebrows, a high nose, and striking golden eyes. His handsomeness is full of vigor, which exins where Yu Long''s appearancees from.


    Yu Zhan wore a ck robe that hung on his muscr body, and his well-fitted pants also showed his toned calves. He''s not someone you expect from a leader of a business-rted n.


    Closing the book in his right hand, Yu Zhan smiled andmented, "It seems my youngest son is very hardworking."


    "You''re diligent and even make your own notes."


    "It''s nothing special." Yu Long shrugged casually.


    Yu Zhan shook his head at this son and said, "Sit."


    "Tell me about the kidnappers you encountered."


    "Okay." Yu Long sat on the bed and retold the ''fake'' story.


    Yu Zhan attentively listened to his youngest son''s story and frowned now and then. "Tsk, those bastards. They lost their capital and now want to drag my kids down."


    "They are looking down on me!"


    "Those bastards?" Yu Long tilted his head.


    Yu Zhan realized his mistakes and coughed, "I mean those bad guys."


    "Father recently made a killing in the other empires. It led to some of ourpetitors losing some fortune."


    "Father was worried, so I hurriedly returned to the n."


    "Fortunately, an expert was helping you and Yu Gong. Father was one step behind..." Yu Zhan sighed heavily. "From now on, I''ll increase the security of Drifting River City!"


    ''Fck, what have I done! Now, I can''t sneak into the forest anymore.'' Yu Long cursed in his head.


    Yu Zhan gazed at his youngest son and added, "I will also assign a bodyguard for you and your brothers."


    ''Nooo!'' Yu Longmented internally.


    Yu Long regretted telling his father and the guards about those ipetent kidnappers.


    He should have kept it for himself and dealt with itter.


    Yu Zhan patted Yu Long''s head and said, "Let''s have dinner."


    "It''s been a while since we ate together."


    Swallowing his grief, Yu Long smiled forcibly and responded, "Mm."


    Everyone gathered in the main dining room and had a huge feast.


    ...


    The next morning.


    Yu Long opened his eyes and yawned slightly.


    He stretched his small yet growing body, "Good morning, world!"


    Yu Long brushed his teeth and slowly walked to the courtyard for daily exercise.


    As Yu Long was about to start, someone called him.


    "Young master, young master!" Lily ran into the courtyard. Her face is red.


    "What''s the matter, Lily?" Yu Long gave her a questioning look.


    Lily calmed her breath and said in a heavy mood, "It''s about your Martial Arts Instructor..."


    "Oh, Teacher Hong. He has returned?"


    "Good, prepare breakfast for both of us." He replied with a bright smile.


    "No..." Lily shook her head.


    "Mr. Hong has passed away..."


    Yu Long''s smile immediately disappeared.

 Chapter 6: The Truth of Hong Wujis Death

    Chapter 6: The Truth of Hong Wuji''s Death


    Want more chapters?


    Give me those power stones~!


    --- Chapter 5 ---


    Hong Wuji is dead.


    This news hit Yu Long like a truck.


    After all, Yu Long just got to know his martial arts instructor. Although they weren''t very close, Yu Long showed Hong Wuji his aptitudes while hiding them from others.


    A connection formed when Hong Wuji agreed to hunt some profound beasts for him, and Yu Long fully believed Hang Wuji''s character as an honest and dependable person.


    Just how many people are close to Yu Long after he got reincarnated?


    He could count it with his fingers.But now, he lost one of them.


    Yu Long grasped Lily''s hand tightly and coldly asked, "Tell me, what happened?"


    "It was an ident. Mr. Hong was hunting profound beasts in the Drifting Cloud Mountain Range, but he seemed to ''identally'' catch the attention of a powerful beast and ended up heavily injured."


    "There are w marks all over his corpse, which was ''recently'' found on the border of the forest."


    "Powerful beast?" Yu Long snorted indifferently. From his observation, Hong Wuji is not the type of person who would seek trouble.


    On the surface, it might look like an ident, but Hong Wuji always told Yu Long no one is more familiar with Drifting Cloud Mountain Range than himself.


    Someone with such deep knowledge can easily dodge ''powerful beasts.'' as he recognizes their habitats, behavior, and movement patterns.


    No matter how Yu Long sees it, something shady definitely happens.


    But then, Yu Long suddenly remembered something.


    Before the teaching session, Hong Wuji always told Yu Long about his younger sister to ease the awkwardness. And that sister is Hong Wuji''s only family member left.


    "Hong Guan..." Yu Long mumbled the name of Hong Wuji''s sister.


    "Lily, prepare the carriage. We will go to the north area."


    "Y-Yes, young master," Lily responded, never seeing her cute young master like this.


    That cold, indifferent face left a lingering shock on her.


    A carriage pulled out by horses from the Yu n''s stable.


    The galloping noises echoed far away.


    Yu Long calmed himself down, bringing tranquility to his anger.


    Yes, anger.


    "I underestimate [Kaiju Maker]''s power." He doesn''t know why, but Hong Wuji brings more anger than sadness.


    They arrived at the north area of the Drifting River City. Remembering the story Hong Wuji had spoken, Yu Long ordered the driver to take a few turns and stopped at an ordinary-looking house.


    It was a one-story building, not too big or too small, enough for a family of three to live.


    Yu Long jumped from the carriage and approached the house. He heard a sobbing noise.


    Hic! Hic!


    Yu Long gently pushed the front door open and saw a ck-haired young woman kneeling on the floor. She''s facing a white wood coffin.


    Upon seeing the coffin, Yu Long''s golden eyes dimmed slightly. He sighed and approached the young woman.


    "Are you... Hong Guan?" Yu Long stood behind the ck-haired young woman.


    The ck-haired young woman turned around and stared at Yu Long''s figure. "Yes." She answered with a gloomy expression as tears were flowing from her eyes.


    Hong Guan is a young woman around the age of 17 or 18. She has long and scattered ck hair, fair skin, and rosy lips. She has a pair of red eyes due to crying so much.


    She currently wore mourning clothes, not showing her figure at all.


    Yu Long offered a handkerchief and said, "My name is Yu Long."


    "Your older brother is my teacher."


    "Although he didn''t teach me for long, I... I appreciated him from the deepest part of my heart."


    "That''s why I''ll shelter you from now on."


    "Will... You follow me?" Yu Long asked with a weak smile.


    "You''re the kid my brother talked about..." Hong Guan gratefully picked up the handkerchief and wiped her tears. "He talks a lot about you recently."


    "Every day, he''d praise you for being a genius."


    "He even told me about hunting profound beasts because you want it."


    "I''m sorry..." Yu Ling grabbed the corner of his clothes and looked down on the stone floor.


    If he hadn''t asked Hong Wuji to hunt profound beasts, the martial arts instructor wouldn''t have visited the Drifting Cloud Mountain Range.


    "Hnn, it''s not your fault." Hong Guan shook her head gently. "If we want to me, we should me profound beasts."


    "Being a practitioner in a profound way is dangerous, to begin with."


    Yu Long''s expression froze as he gazed into Hong Guan''s eyes and said with seriousness, "What if I told you Teacher Hong''s death wasn''t an ident."


    "Think about it... Your older brother is a skilled hunter and has grown all his life near the Drifting Cloud Mountain Range."


    "How could such a man identally meet a dangerous beast."


    "T-This is..." Hong Guan contemted.


    Yu Long took a deep breath and continued, "This is just my assumption, but I know how to find the truth about his death."


    "Regardless, I need you to trust me."


    "I trust you! I want to know the truth!" Hong Guan''s eyes light up in determination.


    Yu Long sighed in relief, "When will his corpse get buried?"


    "Tomorrow morning..." Hong Guan answered honestly.


    "Good, I''ll handle the burial." Yu Long smiled at her.


    "For now, follow me back to the Yu n."


    ...


    The next day, Yu Long and Hong Guan attended the burial of Hong Wuji''s coffin. Yu Long''s mother and father also followed, watching a group of people putting the coffin and burying it with soil.


    After the burial, Yu Long and Hong Guan burn incense to pay respect to the dead.


    "Let''s go." Yu Zhan patted Yu Long''s small shoulder.


    Yu Long nodded and pulled Hong Guan''s arm, "Sister Hong."


    "Mm." Hong Guan followed them back to the Yu n.


    Returning to his courtyard, Yu Long rested on the bed and pulled out a ck-colored sphere.


    "Hong Wuji..." He muttered to himself, noticing some white spots on the sphere. "If my guess is correct, I''ll do my best to avenge you."


    Memories flowed into Yu Long''s head.


    A vision of Hong Wuji appeared. He was walking in the wild with some profound beast''s corpses on his shoulder.


    ''Let''s return...'' Hong Wuji said to himself.


    ''Young master will be happy with my hunts. I caught some rare profound beasts, haha~!''


    Hong Wuji turned around and noticed abnormal movement from far away.


    He hid behind a tree, showcasing his skill as a hunter.


    ''What is that?'' Hong Wuji''s eyes widened as five white-clothed individuals ran to his position. Behind them is an injured mountain tiger of Earth Profound Realm.


    ''The king of the mountain.'' Hong Wuji finally recognized the profound beast.


    ''Run!''


    Hong Wuji ran away quickly because his life depended on it, but one of the white-clothed individuals caught up and mercilessly shed his Achilles tendons.


    "Be proud, peasant. Your lowly life will be helpful for the Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Fortress." The white-clothed individual''s arrogant voice prated Hong Wuji''s ears.


    They actually exploited him to buy more time!


    The mountain tiger was in a frenzy state, attacking everything in its path.


    Hong Wuji screamed in pain. The mountain tiger''s ws struck him continuously.


    After a few seconds, the mountain tiger left him and chased after the white-clothed individuals again.


    Hong Wuji should have died with these extreme injuries, but his survival instinct is still running.


    He crawled for an unknown period, reaching the edge of the Drifting Cloud Mountain Range.


    At hisst breath, Hong Wuji hoped someone would take care of his younger sister.


    BAM!


    Yu Long mmed his little hand against the bed and smashed the wooden frame.


    He opened his eyes, revealing a pair of cold golden rays.


    <strong>Herbology (D) Acquired.</strong>


    <strong>Danger Sense (E) Acquired.</strong>


    "Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Fortress!" Yu Long roared in fury.


    Discovering the truth, Yu Long finally have a target to vent his anger.


    However, not now.


    He''s still too weak.


    He needs more power and influence to absolutely decimate Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Fortress from existence.


    <em>Revenge is best served cold!</em>


    Yu Long stared at the open window, gazing toward the vast azure horizon.


    "Mark my words, vengeance will be mine..."

 Chapter 7: First Kaiju

    Chapter 7: First Kaiju


    Here is the new chapter


    --- Chapter 6 ---


    Yu Long and Hong Guan sat inside a pavilion. They haven''t said anything for minutes, allowing the tea served by Lily to be cold.


    Hong Guan''s gaze is dull and distant, seemingly having no warmth.


    Well, she just lost her only family member.


    Yu Long opened his mouth and said, "The truth about Teacher Hong''s death."


    "I''ve grasped it."


    Really?" Hong Guan''s eyes lit up.


    Yu Long nodded, "Yes." "But first of all, I must say this. We don''t have the power nor influence to fight these people yet."


    "You can bury your hatred here and live a peaceful life. Or will you follow me, even to hell?"


    Hong Guan''s mouth parted when she heard Yu Long''s warning.


    She wasn''t a dumb vige girl.


    She knew what he meant. The people behind her brother''s death must be from a mighty background.


    Still, it won''t stop Hong Guan from knowing the truth.


    If possible, Hong Guan wants revenge!


    "I... I still want to know."


    "Even If I have to enter hell, I''d rather know the truth than live in a nightmare!"


    Yu Long approved Hong Guan''s determination. But soon, his expression became solemn.


    "The truth is..." Yu Long started talking about Hong Wuji''s experience until hisst breath.


    Of course, he didn''t mention [Kaiju Maker] and exined how he found out based on his investigation. The w marks, severed tendons on Hong Wuji''s corpse, and blood trails in the Drifting Cloud Mountain Range led Yu Long to this conclusion.


    Lastly, Yu Long ced a ripped white cloth on the table.


    "This is ourst clue. I hired someone to check the Drifting Cloud Mountain Range, and that person discovered this near Teacher Hong''s blood trails."


    "This..." Hong Guan frowned at the ripped cloth.


    Yu Long sighed and added, "There aren''t many ces that could produce such a high-quality fabric, moreover wearing it."


    "Which means the culprit is someone from a powerful background, preferably a sect or n."


    "Near our city, there are only three sects."


    "Wind de Sect, Cloud Palm Sect, and Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Fortress."


    "Out of all three sects, only one wore this specific cloth."


    "And that is Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Fortress." Yu Long said indifferently.


    "Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Fortress..." Hong Guan''s eyes shed with a gleam of murder.


    She didn''t question Yu Long''s credibility because she knew Yu n could do this investigation. Deep inside, she was very touched by Yu Long''s way of thinking.


    ''He goes above and beyond to help my brother.'' Hong Guan stared at the child before her. He''s no more than seven years old, but his cleverness is above adults.


    "No wonder my brother called you a genius, young master." She praised him.


    Yu Long waved his hand, "It''s nothing."


    "My genuineness is useless when faced with Heavenly Spear Thunderfire."


    "That''s why... We must be stronger."


    "Sister Hong Guan, you want revenge, no?"


    "With my every wellbeing..." Hong Guan took a deep breath and nodded firmly.


    "Wee to the team, Sister Hong Guan." Yu Long smiled and gave her an understanding look.


    ...


    Weeks after weeks.


    Months after months.


    Yu Long experimented with [Kaiju Maker] and even researched more about the human body.


    He learned many things, starting from how to open profound veins'' entrances and new fields like sensitivity and aspect.


    At 14, everyone in the world started to have the ability to consolidate profound strength from their vitality/life energy, pulling it by bit into their bodies.


    After condensing this sparse vitality into a profound foundation, they officially enter the 1st level of the Elementary Profound Realm. This realm was the starting gate. The body experienced a qualitative change and exceeded ordinary life forms.


    With the cooperation of Lily, Hong Guan, and some loyal servants, he realized one''s sensitivity toward profound strength and the energy in the atmosphere revealed in this stage.


    Although they have passed the optimal age, Yu Long uncovered someone who remained at Elementary Profound Realm due to their ''sensitivity'' being too low.


    Low sensitiveness led to slow reactions when using profound strength/energy.


    Opening profound entrances will solve this problem, but it doesn''t assess one''s base sensitivity.


    Using a concoction ofmon herbs and non-lethal poison alongside a meditation technique that Yu Long developed, even people who passed an optimal age of cultivation could increase their sensitivity.


    On top of that, the effect will be even more potent before the profound veins mature.


    The concoction is called Heart Opening Liquid.


    And the meditation technique called Heart Sensing Sutra.


    Theplementary use of these two allowed one to increase sensitivity by several folds of their base level. As if their talents soared, the servants break through one after another.


    The profound aspect is the new secret Yu Long inquired about the human body.


    He knew about the unique constitution, spirit, and profound veins in Against the God World. Anyone who possessed such things is one in many, having the privilege to be stronger rapidly.


    The heroine of Against the God possessed ''Nine Profound Exquisite Body.'' and ''Snow zed ss Heart.'', which were cheat-like advantages that allowed her to cultivate any profound arts, advancing at ridiculous speed.


    Yes, this was an aspect.


    Everyone has their aspects, but their low and poor aptitude buried it.


    Yu Long learned this identally when using [Kaiju Maker] to turn ''kidnappers'' into the essence sphere.


    Their essence contained not only their skills but also unique patterns.


    The patterns determined one''s aspects.


    For example, ''Nine Profound Exquisite Body'' reflected the aspect of ''Pure Malleable Constitution.'' and ''Extra Reserves.'' let its possessor cultivate any profound arts and hold more energy beyond the limit.


    If Yu Long knew the patterns of these aspects, he could copy and transnt them to others.


    Of course, the person who received the transnts won''t get the ''Nine Profound Exquisite Body.'' but the effect will be the same despite some inferiority.


    It would be impossible for others but for Yu Long. It wasn''t a far-fetched goal.


    Technically speaking, Yu Long possessed nearly infinite aspects as [Kaiju Maker] allowed him to devour other essences and their unique patterns.


    Yu Long could uncover the truth of the universe by doing more in-depth research about profound aspects. He might be able to trace everything back to the Age of Gods.


    Unfortunately, he barely touched the tip of the iceberg.


    Thinking about it, Yu Long has brokenmon sense several times already.


    Even then, his daily schedule is training, hunting, and researching.


    Rinse and repeat.


    ...


    Three yearster.


    A handsome youth meditated on the edge of a cliff.


    The morning wind swept his dashing ck hair, revealing his charming face.


    He wore a white and blue robe with matching pants and shoes, gazing at the morning sun with his golden eyes.


    Since the clothes were thin, one could see a nicely developing physique with toned muscle under it. However, these muscles seem to hold incredible power.


    "Young master!" A beautiful maid approached the youth.


    "Aih, Lily knew you''d be here."


    Yu Long turned around and smiled, "I''m on the verge of a breakthrough, Lily."


    "I can''t bezy."


    The beautiful maid covered her mouth in shock, "Young master, y-you have reached 3rd level of Body Tempering?"


    A cheeky smile appeared on Yu Long''s face as he nodded, "Indeed."


    "On top of that, my profound veins also matured just now."


    "..." Lily couldn''t believe her ears for a moment.


    Did her young master say his profound veins fully matured?


    Doesn''t that mean he could cultivate earlier than others?!


    God, he''s only ten.


    Yu Long chuckled, shaking his head at Lily''s ignorance.


    The ''mature.'' phase of profound veins is when it can absorb one''s vitality and convert it into other energy. Any further development won''t happen after that. Unless it is ''intentionally.'' manipted through external means.


    Yu Long''s profound veins are unlike any others.


    Due to devouring so many essences, his vitality is abundant, and his profound veins mature four years earlier than they should be.


    Yu Long could also modify his profound veins by attaching some aspects, but that''s forter.


    "Well, let''s have breakfast first." Yu Long stood up. His height is the same as Lily''s, around 4''9 ft or 152 centimeters.


    Standing side to side, Yu Long and Lily look more like siblings.


    ''There is so much vitality in my body.'' Yu Long thought while walking down a small mountain.


    ''I can start making my 1st ever Kaiju.''


    A sense of achievement filled Yu Long''s chest as he gazed at the Yu n''spound. The area of living stretches over several kilometers, housing thousands of people.


    Yu Long didn''t just stay idle and training for three years. Using his father''s connections in the business world, he bought many medicinal ingredients, minerals, and tons of books.


    Of course, he expanded the business too.


    He raised a group of loyalists, which he trained strictly. The Yu n is still a business-rted n on the surface, but Yu Long secretly developed a super force beneath it.


    Arriving at his courtyard, Yu Long noticed a beautiful woman training and waving her slender arms continuously. A me burst one after another, creating a set of beautiful flowers.


    "Older Sister, I''ll be waiting in the dining room." Yu Long shouted while waving his hand.


    Hong Guan has grown wonderfully in thest three years. Her figure bes more pronounced and well-endowed, adding to her charming face. Her hair was ''neatly'' tied in a bow style.


    "Sure." Hong Guan beamed at Yu Long, waving her hand back.


    ...


    After breakfast, Yu Long entered his room and meditated on the bed.


    He was ''quickly'' immersed in the inner world, a pocket space where he stores all the unused essence spheres.


    Opening his eyes, Yu Long could see a cloud world.


    Piles of essence spheresy before him, gleaming with unique lights.


    "What kind of Kaiju should I make first?"


    "I must think of practicality more than anything."


    With that in mind, Yu Long hand-picked some essence spheres and ced them near him.


    A certain demon lord shed in Yu Long''s head as he grinned foolishly and said, "Let''s start with that."


    The essence spheres are devoured by a small tornado, merging into one entity.


    A few momentster, a wave of warm mist weed Yu Long''s face as a small creature came into his vision.


    This Kaiju is a limbless creature consisting of gtinous material with a teardrop-like shape. Its body is entirely blue and almost see-through.


    "Yes, this is it... My first Kaiju."


    "Slime!"

 Chapter 8: Woby the Mighty Slime

    Chapter 8: Woby the Mighty Slime


    The Slime has appeared!


    --- Chapter 7 ---


    "Nyuu!"


    A blue, almost translucent slime hovered before Yu Long.


    The newly created Kaiju has an exhrating expression on its squishy face, making Yu Long smile a little.


    I mean. Who wouldn''t get excited to be the first Kaiju ever created in this world?


    For this slime, it was such an honor.


    Yu Long picked the slime with one hand, squishing its body one way after another. He could feel the connection between Kaiju and himself.


    A list of information appeared in Yu Long''s head.<strong>Kaiju No. 1</strong>


    <strong>Species</strong>: Hybrid Water Slime(Kaiju)


    <strong>Grade</strong>: B+


    <strong>Abilities</strong>: Absorb, Dissolve, Temper, Size Alteration, Self-Regeneration, Physical Damage Nullification


    Yu Long shook his head gently, "B+ for my first try?"


    "Could have been A."


    "Whatever, it''s my first Kaiju, and I''m not very experienced either." He rubbed the slime. "I can only me myck of skills."


    "But it''s better than my previous life. My past self struggled to make the first Kaiju because no one taught him."


    "What was my past life''s first Kaiju Grade again? Uh, D Grade?" Yu Long recalled his memory.


    The slime hopped left and right on Yu Long''s hand. "Nyuu!" It created a flexible limb and pointed at itself.


    "You want me to name you?" Yu Long tilted his head, to which the slime nodded in return.


    A pained expression appeared on Yu Long''s face as his naming sense was horrible. He also cringed from now and then, remembering his past self calling ''Destroyer of Darkness.'' and ''Hands of God.'' for his Kaiju.


    "Wobbly, Woby?"


    "Uh, I''ll call you Woby from now on."


    The slime jumped onto Yu Long''s shoulder and rubbed its body against his cheek.


    Yu Long poked the slime back, "Let''s do our best, Woby."


    "Nyuu!"


    ...


    Opening his eyes, the sight of a bedroom entered Yu Long''s vision.


    He lifted his right arm and rotated it slightly, feeling somewhat sore.


    The sensation of losing vitality after using [Kaiju Maker] to make Woby is immensely exhausting as if Yu Long''s body was ''thoroughly.'' sucked dry.


    Wait, thatst part sounds wrong for some reason.


    Yu Long extended his other hand and summoned Woby.


    The slime slowly materialized and checked its surroundings curiously.


    Adjusting to the room, Woby looked at Yu Long and waited for his order.


    Yu Long pulled a cab near his bed and triggered a hidden mechanism, causing the flooring to rise. Several sets of stairs appeared, and torchlight illuminated the path.


    Bringing Woby to the underground level, Yu Long exposed the slime to the whole new world.


    After three years of helping his father with business and some other things, Yu Long built an underground training room.


    The underground training room is connected to several tunnels, spreading all over the Drifting River City''s territory.


    Yu Long arrived at the north tunnel, seeing two ck-robed servants guarding it.


    The servants bowed to Yu Long, opening the tunnel for him.


    "Good job." Yu Long said while entering the tunnel.


    Yu Long walked into his research room and told Woby to wait at the table nearby. Gathering some spatial rings with 100 x 100 cubic meter space, Yu Long ced them neatly on the table.


    Stacks ofmon herbs and ingredients appeared one after another.


    "Absorb these herbs." Yu Longmanded Woby.


    Woby nodded and erged its body slowly, enveloping the herbs and ingredients.


    The slime has six abilities Yu Long picked meticulously.


    The reason behind such a decision was to help Yu Long make better medicine and other things.


    Absorb allows Woby to absorb matter into its body.


    Dissolve allows Woby to dissolve matter gathered via Absorb.


    The matter is ''rapidly'' broken down into itsponents, nutrients, and energy.


    Temper allows Woby to adjust the pressure of the broken-down matters or extract. It refines them to much higher quality.


    As for the Size Alteration, Self-Regeneration, and Physical Damage Nullification. These abilities are pretty self-exnatory.


    Of course, there are some limits. But those limits are okay for now.


    Yu Long added moremands and watched the herbs enter Woby''s body.


    The herbs dissolved into a pure green liquid.


    The next is Temper. The liquid bes smaller and smaller, but the pure green bes deeper.


    It happened in a matter of seconds, fascinating Yu Long.


    "I took several minutes to achieve this result."


    "And Woby does it almost instantly." Yu Long bitterlyughed.


    He has self-taught himself medicine and the alchemy of this world for over three years, but a squishy creature surpassed him instantly.


    Well, he''s also the one who makes this convenient creature.


    The pure green liquid inside Woby''s body is the Heart Opening Liquid.


    However, considering how purer and condensed the Heart Opening Liquid was, the effect will be much higher!


    Fetching jade bottles, Yu Long told Woby to fill them up.


    Staring at the fifteen jade bottles on the table, Yu Long couldn''t help but feel surging excitement in his heart.


    He drank one of the Heart Opening Liquids and used the Heart Sensing Sutra to increase his sensitivity. The world of colors weed Yu Long, giving him euphoria.


    Shackles inside Yu Long''s profound veins are loosened and unlocked.


    "This is... Even my profound veins are ''surprisingly'' opened." Hemented with a bewildered expression.


    With the help of immense vitality, Yu Long matured his profound veins earlier than others.


    He also matured with 37 profound entrances opened, making him quite a genius. But he already nned to open the other entrances with the help of [Kaiju Maker].


    Surprisingly, the enhanced Heart Opening Liquid has such an effect.


    Yu Long frowned, "Wait a second..."


    "My sensitivity. Gosh, it actually reached the tenfold threshold."


    "I thought the effect would be twice or thrice much better... It is unexpected."


    "Nyuu~?" Woby was confused. But then, the slime felt happiness when seeing its maker''s expression.


    "Woby, you''re my little treasure!" Yu Long hugged the slime''s massive body as it stayed after altering its size.


    "Nyuu!" Woby jiggled joyfully.


    Having a powerful buddy, Yu Long used every herb in the underground warehouse. Not even a de of leaves was left behind.


    ...


    Storing the enhanced medicine into his spatial ring, Yu Long grinned and said, "It seems we have to order more materialster."


    "With Woby on my side, I don''t have to be afraid of losing material in the process."


    "Above all, absorbing all that herbs'' waste seems to increase your power, right?" Yu Long patted the now-deted slime.


    "Nyuu..." Wobyzilyy on Yu Long''sp.


    Yu Long ced Woby in his robe and went to the ground level. He was searching for Hong Guan.


    Arriving at the upper training ground, Yu Long greeted the beautifuldy again, "Sister Guan!"


    Hong Guan stopped practicing, "Young master."


    "Why the excitement?"


    After all, they just had breakfast together not too long ago. Now Yu Long returned in a giddy mood.


    "Hehe, try this!" Yu Long picked the enhanced Heart Opening Liquid from his spatial ring.


    Hong Guan is confused at first but still follows her benefactor''s order.


    She opened the jade bottle cap, and a rich medicinal aroma immediately invaded her nostrils. Her eyes widened slightly, feeling her profound veins rxed for a moment.


    She was curious now.


    Drinking the liquid, Hong Guan sat down and meditated.


    BOOM!


    "7th Level of Spirit Profound Realm..." Yu Longmented on Hong Guan''s state.


    Hong Guan has been training diligently under Yu Long''s shade, increasing her cultivation base steadily. At first, she''s nothing but the 3rd Level of Elementary Profound Realm.


    Now, she has surpassed her deceased brother.


    "Y-Young master, what kind of miraculous drug you give to me?" Hong Guan asked with flushed cheeks. Her body feels hot.


    Yu Long chuckled, "It''s the improved version of Heart Opening Liquid."


    "I have a helper who helped me recently."


    "Check your profound veins. You might get a bigger surprise."


    Overwhelmed by her breakthrough, Hong Guan hasn''t realized two profound entrances have opened.


    "..." Hong Guan was speechless.


    H-How heaven-defying!


    Three years ago, Hong Guan only had ten profound entrances opened.


    As Yu Long studied more and raised his medical skills, he was able to open more profound entrances through acupuncture, and Hong Guan''s profound entrances increased to twenty-two.


    And now Yu Long opened her profound entrances again with a medicinal liquid!


    "Young master, I don''t know how to repay your kindness." Hong Guan sighed to herself. "Even my body isn''t worth much."


    "I just want topensate Teacher Hong, Sister Guan." Yu Long responded while shaking his head.


    "Also, respect yourself more."


    "You''re beautiful, you know?" He shed a warm smile to her.


    Hong Guan''s heart pounded as she mumbled, "Mm."


    "Even then, with this. We are one great step further into our revenge." Yu Long clenched his fist tightly.


    "Yes." Hong Guan''s eyes shone with deep killing intent. She hasn''t forgotten the culprits behind her brother''s death.

 Chapter 9: Leaving the Drifting River City

    Chapter 9: Leaving the Drifting River City


    Want more chapters?


    Give me those power stones XD!


    --- Chapter 8 ---


    A weekter.


    With the addition of Woby the Mighty Slime, Yu n''s medicine-making business soared through the roof. Of course, they couldn''t sell something like Heart Opening Liquid because it was a strategic resource now, but somemon ones, like cold medicine, antidote, and many others, entered the market.


    Since the supply is ''strictly.'' maintained, the Yu n would gain more ie, and none of those watchful eyes from much bigger factions would get their hope high.


    After all, Yu n still has itspetitors, and thosepetitors thought they kept this business in check. Not knowing Yu Long used them as a form of concealment.


    The Four Great Sects won''t directly cause trouble as they don''t want to lower themselves to lowly business ns.


    Yes, the Yu n''s advancement was ''literally'' hidden in in sight for three years. Yu Long learned this from the memories of his past life, but some of the details were blurry. He knew someone taught him about business and politics, but that person''s appearance was vague.


    Still, no matter how curious Yu Long was, he couldn''t forcibly remember everything. So, he decided to wait and let everything flow naturally.


    ...


    At the moment, Yu Long enjoyed an evening tea with his mother.


    Ten years have passed since Yu Xin birthed Yu Long, and her beauty hasn''t changed slightly.


    Sipping his tea, Yu Long heaved afortable sigh andmented, "I heard Third Brother finally matured his profound veins."


    "He''d start his profound way soon, but... I don''t think any of the nearest sects want to ept him, no?"


    Yu Xin raised her brow and replied, "It seems you''re paying more attention to your brothers now."


    "The ident with Yu Gong must have dealt a lot. Aih, my poor child." She stared at him worriedly.


    What dealt a lot to me? The corner of Yu Long''s mouth twitched slightly.


    Although Yu Long has concealed some truth from Yu n''s members, including his mother, only Lily and his father know about his monstrous talent.


    Lily was a given. She''s been a maid assigned to Yu Long since he was a baby.


    Meanwhile, Yu Zhan won''t trust him with business if he doesn''t tell the truth. Even though the dignified father doesn''t know everything, he can deduct one of the things from the clues.


    Oh, father. You actually didn''t tell the mother about your son''s deed.


    ''I don''t know if I should feel grateful or not.'' Yu Longughed inside helplessly.


    Yu Xin stared at her son''s darkened expression, thinking he was depressed.


    She faked a cough and said, "Long''er, you haven''t gone outside the Drifting River City, right?"


    "That''s right." Yu Long nodded casually. There isn''t much reason to go out when he could grow strong indefinitely in his domain.


    Not to mention, Yu Long could acquire ingredients and essence spheres from Yu n''s business and his servants hunting in the Drifting Cloud Mountain Range.


    Yu Xin smiled and added, "Good, why don''t you visit your father''s friend in the Floating Cloud City."


    "I heard the scenery there is quite good."


    "You mean Mr. Hongyi from the Xia n?" Yu Long returned with a frown.


    "Yup, Xia Hongyi." Yu Xin nodded.


    Yu Long wasn''t unfamiliar with Xia Hongyi.


    In fact, he knew a lot about him. Xia Hongyi is the father of heroine Xia Qingyue and quite a sessful businessman.


    At the same time, Xia Hongyi is also a miserable man. His wife left to protect him and their children from divine bullshit.


    His daughter is cold and no different than an air conditioner.


    And his son is a pushover with no backbone. Not until he awakened his profound veins.


    ''Ah, profound veins and unique constitution!'' Yu Long''s eyes lit up when thinking about it.


    Yu Long hasn''t forgotten about the profound aspects he researched. And no one is a better subject than Xia Hongyi''s children!


    Yu Xin noticed her son''s excitement and giggled inside. It seems her decision is correct.


    "Well, Mother will prepare a carriage tomorrow."


    "Don''t worry about your little business. I will ask your father to handle it."


    ''Mom, my business is running by itself.'' Yu Long smiled wryly.


    Even then, He shook his head lightly and replied, "Okay."


    "But I''ll bring Sister Guan and Lily with me."


    "No problem. Those two are your maid, after all." Yu Xin yfully winked at him.


    "..." Yu Long.


    ...


    After the evening tea, Yu Long returned to his room and pulled some notebooks under his study table.


    These notebooks are profound arts he could use to cultivate. He wrote them in codes, which means no one could read them.


    However, he hasn''t chosen which one to practice first. Yu Long wasn''t ''inherently'' limited like others because of [Kaiju Maker].


    Pondering about it for minutes, Yu Long decided to pick two profound arts that couldplement each other.


    The two profound arts are [Profound Arts of Ghosts] and [Profound Arts of Violet Mist].


    Arts of Ghost is Yin(Darkness) oriented, which could improve Yu Long''s spiritual growth. It contained a set of profound skills from movement to assassination techniques.


    After researching countless profound arts, Yu Long touched upon the taboo that everyone in the upper realm fears, a Yin-Based Profound Art, or another known as the Devil Technique, in this world.


    On the other hand, Arts of Violet Mist is Yang(Light) oriented, which could improve Yu Long''s physical growth. It contained a set of profound skills from fist to spear technique.


    This profound art is considered rare but the most orthodox for many people in the upper realm with wed justice.


    Using [Kaiju Maker], Yu Long knew that Yin(Darkness) and Yang(Light) were the sides of the same coin. They coexist, needing each other to grow. Heck, they literallye from a simr origin.


    "Those foolish self-proimed gods." Yu Long snorted indifferently.


    Sitting on the floor, Yu Long closed his eyes and breathed ording to the two cultivation arts. He could feel a cold and warm sensation flowing in his profound veins.


    These sensations convert his vitality into profound strength.


    Yin energy slowly merged into Yu Long''s body and rushed to his head, giving off a non-existent and cold feeling.


    Yang energy acts more vigorously, rushing toward Yu Long''s abdomen and warming his stomach. It gives off afortable yet smooth feeling.


    Two profound arts created ripples inside Yu Long''s body, sucking his vitality and circting it around his veins.


    "Art of Ghost, Turtle Breath." Yu Long''s presence disappeared from the room. A veil of darkness covered him perfectly.


    Yu Long walked to his courtyard and approached a wooden training dummy. "Art of Violet Mist." He clenched his hand, and a violet aura rushed out.


    Yu Long punched the training dummy and fired a concentrated physical prowess, breaking the wooden pole that kept the whole thing in ce andunching it away.


    BAM!


    The aftereffect caused the ground to burn.


    Several meters away, the training dummy was ''actually'' reduced to ashes.


    Practitioners in the True Profound Realm won''t survive that.


    "Hmm..." Yu Long stared at his fist.


    "Too weak."


    "Could be better."


    "Maybe I should fix the direction of the meridian used to increase the output?" Yu Long murmured in deep thought. "The punch doesn''t generate enough heat."


    Fortunately, there aren''t people near Yu Long, or else they''d be shocked by his weirdness. Others struggled to train their profound arts, and he''s here making one and thenining about it being too weak.


    In truth, the profound art is strong enough to kill anyone below the True Profound Realm. And Yu Long has not fully utilized it.


    "Oh well, there is still room for improvement. Nothing is perfect." Yu Long shrugged and watched the sunset.


    Yes, he didn''t search for perfection.


    What Yu Long wanted was constant improvement, surpassing those God Arts!


    ...


    The next day.


    Yu Long wore a new set of clothes. It was a ck and purple robe with matching pants and shoes, adding mysteriousness to his youthful and handsome charm.


    Lily and Hong Guan wore green maid outfits, standing outside of his room.


    "Let''s go." Yu Long led Hong Guan and Lily to the stable area.


    The carriage has long been prepared for them. Yu Long''s mother, Yu Xin, also waited with some maids.


    "Morning." Yu Xin greeted them.


    "Morning, Mother." Yu Long greeted her back.


    Yu Xing giggled and hugged Yu Long, "You can stay as long as you want, but remember to write letters for me, okay?"


    "Mm." Yu Long smiled at her.


    Entering the carriage, Yu Long and his maids sat down, feeling the softness of the cushion.


    Yu Xin is a thoughtful woman. So, she prepared the mostfortable carriage for her son.


    "Driver, anytime now." Yu Long ordered the driver.


    He waved his hand at Yu Xin and added, "To the Floating Cloud City."


    "Yes, young master!" The driver responded, handling the horses.


    The carriage was ''gradually'' pulled away, leaving some dust behind.


    "I hope he can rx there." Yu Xin watched the carriage leaving emotionally.

 Chapter 10: A Mundane Journey

    Chapter 10: A Mundane Journey


    Hey, you! Yes, you!


    Give this story more power stones!


    --- Chapter 9 ---


    In a moving carriage, Yu Long yawned andzily gazed at the scenery on the other side of the window. The wonder of the Cultivation World is really different from the modern era.


    There is no pollution, allowing nature''s energy to umte more.


    Every breath one takes is fresher than ever.


    The tall and stretched mountain has the dense lushness of several forest areas. The sky is azure blue, and the river runs on the side of the road, giving off a peaceful look.


    Yu Long nced back and saw a paved road, "The road is not the best, though."


    Although his mother has prepared the best carriage possible, Yu Long knew this journey from the Drifting River City to the Floating Cloud City would make him suffer."Young master, do you want fruits?" Lily asked after noticing his sour mood.


    Yu Long sighed, "Give me a pear or apple."


    Hong Guan smiled at Yu Long''s rare annoyance. Since they lived under the same roof for three years, Hong Guan watched this cute child grow into a handsome youth.


    He''s a very easygoing person and kind-hearted to people he knows.


    He''s also ''extremely'' talented in almost all fields as if nothing can stop him. Yes, literally.


    As long as Yu Long was interested, he could self-taught anything with enough study materials, whether martial arts, alchemy, craftsmanship, medicine, magic, or cksmithing.


    ''When the young master reaches theing of age ceremony, I''ll be too old.'' Hong Guan thought to herself. There was a hint of pain and sadness in her heart.


    As Yu Long waited for Lily to cut the fruit, he failed to notice Hong Guan''s mood change. "Hey, how long would it take to reach the next city?" He knocked on the carriage and asked the driver.


    "Uh, around two hours or so, young master." The driver responded with some difficulty.


    "..." Yu Long.


    This journey is much more boring than he expected!


    Yu Long shook his head bitterly, wondering why he agreed to his mother''s proposition and closed his eyes instead. He cultivated Art of Ghost and Art of Violet Mist, immersing himself into the inner world.


    He wants to check his current abilities.

    "Young master, young master?" Lily called him. She pouted and showed him a te of nicely sliced fruits.


    Yu Long opened his eyes and chuckled, "Oh, my bad."


    "Thank you, Lily."


    Lily fed Yu Long sliced apples and pears as their journey to the Floating Cloud City continued.


    Munching on sliced apples, Yu Long noticed something different about his maid and said, "Lily, you''re on the 5th Level of Spirit Profound Realm already?"


    "Mm, all thanks to the young master." Lily nodded at him.


    A weakling like her shouldn''t be able to cultivate, but her young master created miracles one after another and helped her enter the profound way.


    She was one of the small group who knew about Yu Long''s hidden talent, showing how much Yu Long valued her.


    After two hours, the carriage stopped at the nearest human settlement.


    Silver Rock City.


    Silver Rock City is a middle-ss city with over 100,000 people. Situated far northeast of the Blue Wind Empire and around 420,000 kilometers from the Drifting River City, Silver Rock City has a cold yetfortable environment.


    Yu Long and others stayed in the city for a night, renting three rooms at the most famous inn in Silver Rock City.


    Checking up, Yu Long brought Woby to the medicine store. He wanted to see what kind of medicinal herbs or minerals this city had.


    A minuteter, Yu Long was ''unfortunately'' destined to be disappointed because besides some umon herbs grown unique to Silver Rock City, the medicine stores had nothing special for him to purchase.


    Yu Long sighed and went to the cksmith next, checking for minerals he could use in weapon or trap making. This time, Yu Long came with low expectations and ended with a surprise.


    Silver Rock, minerals abundant around Silver Rock City''s territory, actually possess some rare qualities.


    Using [Insect King''s Vision] and [Profound Sense], Yu Long discovered that Silver Rock absorbs profound strength and seals it within its core.


    This process only happened for five minutes before the Silver Rock turned into another pretty rock, but Yu Long had several ideas for it.


    Buying arge amount of Silver Rocks, Yu Long told Woby to absorb, dissolve, and temper the mineral.


    And hand-sized Pure Silver Rock was pletely.'' made.


    Unlike its impure counterpart, Pure Silver Rock can seal profound strength after making contact with someone. And the effectsts around thirty minutes or so.


    Imagine losing your profound strength for thirty minutes. That''d be such a dangerous moment.


    Of course, that doesn''t mean you lost your cultivation base.


    After being hit by Pure Silver Rock, the cultivators could still fight with no profound strength.


    Yu Long pondered about other usages of Silver Rock, deciding to use Yu n''s underground business to supply himself with a hefty amountter.


    Returning to the inn, Yu Long slept soundlessly.


    The next day, Yu Long and his maids continued their journey.


    They didn''t stop this time and arrived at the Cyan Forest Town after two days.


    Cyan Forest Town is a small backwater town located nearly two hundred kilometers west of Floating Cloud City. It is close to the Scarlet Dragon Mountain Range. It''s a crucial route from Floating Cloud City to New Moon City.


    The distance from the Cyan Forest Town to New Moon City is three hundred fifty kilometers.


    "Lily, release some of your cultivation when we enter the city." Yu Long ordered nonchntly.


    "Eh, why so, young master?" Lily tilted her head in confusion.


    "So, some annoying flies won''t disturb us." Yu Long returned casually. He wasn''t in the mood to deal with small fries.


    Hong Guan''s lips curved as she entered the conversation, "Let me do it."


    The carriage entered the Cyan Forest Town, and several people already eyed it. Then, Hong Guan released some of her cultivation base and scared them off.


    The people in the shadow shivered as they never encountered the Spirit Profound Realm before. In this backwater town, Nascent Profound Realm is ''actually'' considered powerful, talking about frogs in the well.


    Yu Long gazed at the Scarlet Dragon Mountain Range. If he wasn''t wrong, Sky Profound Realm Scarlet Dragon lived there and had a plentiful Fire Grass. However, what made him interested wasn''t that.


    Inside the Dragon Nest, there is one kind of godly treasure.


    Evil God''s Fire Seed!


    One with Evil God''s profound veins could use Fire Seed and obtain unmatched immunity against fire elements. The talent for fire elements will also soar, allowing that person to cultivate any fire technique.


    Yu Long wondered if he could use [Kaiju Maker] on the Fire Seed, extracting its essence.


    Technically speaking, the Evil God''s Fire Seed isn''t the essence.


    It''s a concentrated Law of Fire, which means others couldn''t use it besides the Evil God''s Inheritor.


    But Yu Long isn''t afraid of breaking the restrictions ced by the Evil God.


    Even if he couldn''t use the Evil God''s Fire Seed, Yu Long could copy the profound aspect at the very least and increase his immunity/affinity toward the fire element.


    "Well, let''s break the plot, shall we?" Yu Long chuckled to himself.

 Chapter 11: Stealing the Scarlet Dragons Treasure

    Chapter 11: Stealing the Scarlet Dragon''s Treasure


    --- Chapter 10 ---


    Scarlet Dragon Mountain Range.


    It''s a mountain range close to Cyan Forest Town. This area is also where the protagonist found a waterfall to train to start from scratch after receiving the new Evil God''s profound veins.


    The surrounding area has many herbs, the majority being the Demon Skull Vine and the Iron Sand Vine. One could stimte one''s body, and the other has a refinement value to be an energy recovery pill.


    The mountain range is vast, with profound beasts bing more and more ferocious deeper into the mountains. However, this ce is also well explored because many warning signs are set along the mountain path, warning people about the high-level beasts.


    The center area of the Scarlet Dragon Mountain Range is a Prohibited Region because a real Scarlet Dragon resides there.


    Nevertheless, fortunees with danger.


    Inside the dragon cave where the Scarlet Dragon lives, numerous Fire Spirit Grass grow because of the Evil God''s Fire Seed.


    Fire Spirit Grass is a rare herb due to its condition to grow. Using this rare herb, one could refine Fire Spirit Pellet, which could grant fire resistance and induce change to one''s profound strength.The Fire Spirit Grass doesn''t excite Yu Long much, but the Evil God''s Fire Seed? One hundred percent, even the Scarlet Dragon used Fire Seed to elevate its cultivation base.


    It shows just how miraculous the Evil God''s Fire Seed is.


    After departing from Cyan Forest Town, Yu Long left his maids and driver in a restaurant. He moved toward the center of the Scarlet Dragon Mountain Range and encountered several profound beasts.


    Those profound beasts ended up as the essence sphere.


    Unfortunately, these low-graded essence spheres couldn''t upgrade Yu Long''s ability, so he could only store them inside his inner world.


    Arts of Ghost weakened Yu Long''s presence and turned him into a ghost-like existence as long as he used Breath of Turtle. On top of that, he also used [Presence Erasure] to make him even more perfectly invisible.


    Even the Star Concealing Pill used by the protagonist doesn''t amount to thisbination.


    Using Star Concealing Grass to make Star Concealing Pill, one could have perfect invisibility for three hours. Meanwhile, Yu Long could stay in this state forever.


    Yu Long leisurely picked up the bones of profound beasts, manipting them to create a set of armor for himself. [Steel Hawk Wings] slowlye out of his back, covering him like a cloak.


    "Let''s see if the infamous Scarlet Dragon could sense me." Yu Long ced a bone mask over his face.


    Yu Long knew he couldn''t fight the peak Sky Profound Realm or even Emperor Profound Beast directly, but there was no way the Scarlet Dragon could stop him.


    Flying in the sky, Yu Long observed the Scarlet Dragon Mountain Range and approached the center area.


    After several minutes of flight, Yu Longnded outside a burningnd and saw a massive cave entrance on the other side of a hill.


    Yu Long''s golden eyes gained several hexagonal patterns as he peeked into the cave, seeing a massive creature sleeping while exuding warm breath. His profound sense explored everything inside, trying to find a blind spot.


    "Let''s see..." Yu Long cupped his hand and used [Poison Maniption], pulling venom from his body. A translucent, almost colorless liquid slowly escaped his sweat nds and condensed.


    "Physical deterioration, consciousness weakening, nerve deactivation." He brought his cupped hands closer to his mouth and blew the liquid away, turning them into invisible mist.


    Yu Long waited, observing the Scarlet Dragon silently. The poison gasses slowly inhaled into its massive body.


    Three minutester, the Scarlet Dragon didn''t realize its has fallen into a deep sleep.


    Yu Long entered the cave leisurely, setting traps left and right with the help of [Threads Creation] and dust of Pure Silver Rock.


    "Hmm, what a big fellow." Yu Longmented casually.


    With a height that reached a hundred feet and an entire body scarlet-red, like red-hot steel, its enormous wings and tail lit with a zing fire. The scarlet dragon is a profound beast with a noble and pure bloodline, as its presence alone could create a spark.


    Yu Long couldn''t feel the dragon''s strength because of the distance a few moments ago, but now. He''s sure this profound beast is at the 8th Level of Sky Profound Realm.


    It means the scarlet dragon should have reached 1st Level of Emperor Profound in six years when the plot started.


    "Pure Dragon''s Bloodline. What a waste if I didn''t use it." Yu Long tried to use [Kaiju Maker], but the suction force wasn''t strong enough to envelop the scarlet dragon.


    "Oh, well." He walked to the scarlet dragon and made a sharp but ''extremely'' thin bone de.


    Inserting the de between the red-hot scales like an injection, Yu Long manipted the bone to suck the scarlet dragon''s blood. Drop after drop entered the jade bottle Yu Long prepared beforehand.


    "Thanks, bro."


    After filling several jade bottles, Yu Long harvested some Fire Spirit Grass before stopping at a small ck pebble above an altar-shaped rock.


    This small ck pebble is Evil God''s Fire Seed, and the scarlet dragon has ced a mark to alert itself when someone dares to steal its treasure.


    Yu Long tapped his chin a few times, thinking of a way to remove the mark from the Evil God''s Fire Seed.


    "Nyuu!" Woby appeared from Yu Long''s clothes.


    Itnded on the altar-shaped rock and told Yu Long it could remove the mark.


    "Are you sure?" Yu Long asked solemnly.


    "Nyuu!" Woby patted itself on the head, showing Yu Long it had its slime''s pride.


    Yu Long chuckled and agreed, watching Woby cing the ck pebble into its body.


    Woby dissolved the mark and asked Yu Long to give it a random stone.


    Yu Long shrugged and picked a random stone in the cave.


    "Nyuu, nyuu!" Woby pointed its water limb to Yu Long''s stomach.


    Yu Long was amused, "Oh, you also want an essence sphere from a fire-type profound beast?"


    "OwO!" Woby nodded rapidly.


    Giving an essence sphere to Woby, the slime absorbed it alongside the random stone.


    The random stone and essence sphere merged, having a striking aura and appearance to the Evil God''s Fire Seed.


    And then Woby tempered the fake Fire Seed, adding the scarlet dragon''s mark on it.


    "Damn." Yu Long was amazed.


    "Nyuu." Woby jumped to Yu Long and handed him the real Evil God''s Fire Seed.


    Yu Long poked Woby''s head and said, "Aih, my little savior."


    "You''re the best indeed."


    Woby jiggled its body and formed a smug expression as if saying, ''Of course, Woby is the best!'' to Yu Long.


    cing the Evil God''s Fire Seed into a spatial ring, Yu Long turned around and walked out of the scarlet dragon''s cave. The profound beast would wake up in a day or three, not noticing his greatest treasure had just gone.


    "Oh, wait..." Yu Long halted his step.


    The scarlet dragon is currently in a deep sleep. Yu Long calcted the effect of his poison and believed the profound beast would awaken in a year or two. Yes, that''s how much Yu Long did not hold back when making it.


    Two years is a lot of time.


    Yu Long grinned and grabbed a container filled with unique-scented gunpowder. This special gunpowder was ''naturally.'' used in the Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Fortress''s bomb-making.


    He purchased several of these containers two years ago, researching the gunpowder to find their weaknesses.


    Nevertheless, he realized Kaiju alone was enough to trample those people down and stopped researching it.


    With a n in mind, Yu Long entered the cave again and scattered the gunpowder everywhere.


    When the scarlet dragon woke up, it would face Yu Long''s trap and grow furious. Smelling the gun powders, the Sky Profound Realm Beast will go to the Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Fortress and ransack it.


    ''I hope you guys can survive this disaster, the Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Fortress.''


    ''Sister Guan and I still need our fair share of revenge.'' Yu Long dumped the container outside the cave.


    Yu Long cleansed himself with [Self-Purification] and pped [Steel Hawk Wings], flying toward the Cyan Forest Town.


    Upon returning to the restaurant, Yu Long could see Lily and Hong Guan sitting in the corner with wines in their hands.


    "Young master!" They hide the wine away.


    Yu Longughed and shook his head, "Haha, Don''t worry. You can treat yourself to some nice wines. We just had a long journey, after all."


    ''''Make sure to stay sober because we still have one drive before reaching the Floating Cloud City."


    "Waiter, give me something to eat!" Yu Long shouted and sat near his maids. Anyone in this room would have never thought this youth recently visited the scarlet dragon''s cave and stole its treasure.

 Chapter 12: Floating Cloud City

    Chapter 12: Floating Cloud City


    Should I write ''lemon'' chapters in the future?


    --- Chapter 11 ---


    Yu Long and his maids enjoyed their lunch. It was nothing fancy, but both maids drank some wine, making the atmosphere more merry.


    After that, they continued their trip to the Floating Cloud City.


    Lily dozed off and relied on Yu Long''s shoulder, sleeping soundlessly. The same goes for Hong Guan as she ces her head on his other shoulder.


    Despite the cramp, Yu Long could only smile helplessly. He has already told them to drink in moderation and stay sober as they still have one more drive to their destination.


    Yu Long''s nostrils caught the fragrance scent from Lily''s body, and his body reacted slightly. His right arm felt the softness of Hong Guan''s D-cup breasts, causing his face to heat up.


    Thanks to his immense vitality, Yu Long experienced puberty earlier and a growth spurt. He looks older than his age, but it also doesn''t mean he is ''miraculously.'' experienced with women.


    Lily is a charming young woman with a warm and lovely aura.Meanwhile, Hong Guan is much more mature. Her body is well-endowed and smells fantastic.


    It would be a lie if Yu Long said he wasn''t interested in them. After all, they are one of the closest people he wished to protect.


    ''God or Devil, whatever you were. Give me the will to endure this trip!'' Yu Long chanted and looked down at his little brother.


    ...


    Several hourster, the carriage finally arrived at the Floating Cloud City.


    "Lily, Sister Guan, wake up. We are here." Yu Long heaved a sigh of relief for not losing control.


    "Mweh?" Lily shook left and right with a droll in her mouth.


    She looked at Yu Long''s handsome face and realized her mistake, "Y-Young master, I actually fell asleep."


    "Please forgive my embarrassing performance!" She added, wiping the drool from her face.


    Yu Long shook his head gently, "It''s okay."


    "Mhm~!" Hong Guan released an unholy noise and identally brushed Yu Long''s ears with her lips.


    Yu Long''s body froze awkwardly.


    Hong Guan opened her eyes slowly and blinked a few times.


    "I..." She blushed hard.


    "..." Yu Long. He coughed and stepped out immediately, hiding the rising dragon in his pants.


    "Let''s go. We have to visit the branch before evening."


    "Yes, young master." Lily and Hong Guan answered softly. They were ashamed, not realizing something weird with their young master.


    Yu Long patted his chest and stared at the Floating Cloud City.


    Floating Cloud City is the smallest city in the Blue Wind Empire.


    It was so small that it was barely even suitable to be called a city.


    Even the Drifting River City is several times bigger than this ce.


    Situated in the Far East and the most geographically remote in terms of location, Floating Cloud City is a secluded ce. It is ''actually'' encircled by mountains and one big river running as the only water source.


    The poption, economy, and even the average Profound Strength were the lowest of the low. The city''s profound strength is so weak that no one has ever stepped foot into the Sky Profound Realm in the past few centuries.


    Floating Cloud City''s residents often mock themselves for being a forgotten corner in the Blue Wind Empire.


    However, this is also the most suitable ce for a protagonist to start his journey.


    Born in a literal backwater city, from one of the great ns, and most likely to be a ''cripple'' who got mocked throughout his life.


    "Talking about the protagonist, isn''t Yun n''s Bloodline considered one of the Divine n on the upper realm? Their profound handles were the inheritance of the True Primordial God." Yu Long realized something.


    Yu Long was here to copy Xia Qingyue and her younger brother''s profound aspects, but Yun Che''s blood might give him more of a surprising topic to research now.


    He chuckled, expecting some great harvest soon.


    ''Why is he so excited?'' Lily and Hong Guan nced at each other.


    "Let''s go to the Xia n first. My mother sent a letter two days ago, so Xia n''s Head should have gotten it." Yu Long led his maids inside the Floating Cloud City.


    "And you, park the carriage on the nearest stable." He threw a pouch of profound coins to the driver.


    "Thank you, young master!" The driver smiled excitedly. From the weight of this pouch, he could see how generous Yu Long was.


    Staring at Yu Long''s back, the driver couldn''t help but think, ''As expected of the Yu n''s 4th young master!''


    Yu Long and his maids walked on the Floating Cloud City''s main road, gaining the attention of residents. People on the street stared at them in amazement as the Floating Cloud City rarely has visitors.


    As described, they believed Floating Cloud City was ''really'' forgotten by others.


    "Woah, what a handsome boy." A middle-ageddy said after seeing Yu Long.


    "Mm, I bet he''s not from around here..." She slowly licked her lips.


    "Go away, old hag! Don''t even think about pouncing on young meat!" Ady in her mid-twenties rebuked.


    "This is my chance..." Otherdy said excitedly.


    Meanwhile, the single male pedestrians gazed at Lily and Hong Guan with thirsty looks.


    "Oh my god, look at that young woman... How could someone be so cute? I want to pat and drag her into a dark alley." A creepy uncle said.


    "Bah, you old bastard." Someone cursed at the creepy uncle.


    But then, somebody gulped at Hong Guan and confessed, "I prefer the other one. That young woman looks cold and more mature."


    "Dayuum, I want her to step on me and then insult me~!"


    "Oh my god, you guys are a pervert! Unlike you disgusting fellow, I''d rather get my head locked between her thighs instead~!" Another male has a dreamy look on his face.


    "Hypocrite!"


    "Throw him to the river!"


    "Yes, throw him!"


    Yu Long pretends to be deaf, but Lily and Hong Guan can''t.


    They are women, for god sake.


    Lily and Hong Guan stared at the pedestrians and leaked their cultivation base, scaring the living shit of Floating Cloud City''s residence.


    "S-So strong..." Someone dropped on his knee.


    "Mommy, please forgive me!"


    "..." Lily.


    "..." Hong Guan.


    ''I forgot some people are beyond saving.'' Yu Long facepalmed and pulled his maids away before they could ughter these ''cultured'' men.


    Yu long admired their boldness. Nevertheless, if they dared to act more outrageously, he wouldn''t stop Lily or Hong Guan for the second time.


    "Young master, why did you stop me?" Hong Guan put on a smile that''s not a smile.


    "Yes, yes!" Lily balled her slender hand into a fist. She demanded an answer.


    Yu Long smiled, "We are here to rx ording to my mother''s n."


    "Not for killing people in broad daylight."


    "But if they step beyond your limit, you can finish it silently. Make it clean, though."


    "Understood." The maids'' expression mellowed slightly.


    After asking for some directions, Yu Long and his maids finally arrived at the Xia n, or more specifically, Xia Manor.


    Xia Manor is a massive traditional Chinese house. It was ''neatly'' surrounded by brownish-red walls with ck tiles.


    At the front gate, two guards protected the Xia Manor.


    "Hello, I''m here for Mr. Hongyi." Yu Long greeted the guards.


    "Can you perhaps notify him about my arrival?"


    One guard nced at Hong Guan and cleared his throat, "Ehem, may I know who you are?"


    "I''m the fourth young master of Yu n." Yu Long picked Yu n''s token from his sleeve and showed it to the guard.


    The guard''s eyes widened in shock. As the guard of Xia Manor, he knew more things than others.


    Thepany Head Xia ran gained impressive ie over the years, but one n topped that earnings. Yu n is one of the biggest business giants in the Blue Wind Empire.


    Staring at the youth''s high-quality robe, the guard couldn''t help but swallow nervously.


    And the purple token in his hand further confirmed his status.


    "Please wait, Young Master Yu!" The guard smiled politely and ran inside.


    ...


    Unknown Pov.


    I was walking around the Xia Manor''s Gate, staring at the mundane azure sky with longing in my chest.


    Six years ago, amidst a harsh winter. I watched my mother disappear from my sight.


    She has aplicated expression and is very painful for some reason.


    She didn''t say farewell to Father or Yuanba, simply vanishing from my field of vision.


    The only words she left behind were, "Realm of Gods..."


    "Mother, I wonder where you go." I sighed, feeling very hopeless.


    I have read many books, but there is no such ce as ''Realm of Gods.'' in the Blue Wind Empire.


    I closed my eyes and heard a panicked heavy breathing.


    Frowning slightly, I saw the guard running to my father''s office.


    "Hmm?" I was confused.


    Why did the guard run away?


    Walking to the front gate, I saw a unique-looking youth. The youth wore a dashing ck and purple robe with matching pants and shoes. It''s very well suited to the youth''s lean physique.


    He has long ck hair tied in a ponytail with some tucked out above his face. His facial features are handsome, with sharp eyebrows, a tall nose, and rosy lips, giving off a mysterious look.


    But what surprises me the most is his eyes.


    Those golden eyes are bright and gorgeous under the evening sunlight, containing deep profoundness. They gave me a weird sensation as if nothing could hide from them.


    The youth finally noticed my gaze.


    Our eyes meet.


    And he smiled at me.

 Chapter 13: Meeting the Heroine

    Chapter 13: Meeting the Heroine


    Gotta sleep, good night.


    Also, give this story more power stones!


    --- Chapter 12 ---


    "Wee to my humble abode, Young Master Yu." Xia Hongyi greeted Yu Long at the front gate.


    After getting notified by the guard, he hurriedly went out.


    Not only because the Yu n is a business n with prestige but also because its patriarch was his close friend. They have bonded over drinks several times on their business trips.


    Yu Zhan talks a lot about his children,ining and praising them when drunk.


    However, one son stood up more often than others.


    That son is also the youngest, which Yu Zhan is very proud of.Yu n''s fourth young master, Yu Long!


    Yu Long smiled and cupped his hand to Xia Hongyi, "Please don''t be too formal, Mr. Hongyi. If we use such a tone, I must call you ''uncle'' because you are my father''s friend."


    "What do you think? Can I call you Uncle Hongyi instead?" He added calmly.


    "Haha, your father was right. You''re indeed different." Xia Hongyi chuckled slightly, but he praised Yu Long inside.


    Any young master Xia Hongyi encountered always had ''arrogance.'' deep in their blood for some reason. However, Yu Long is different.


    The way Yu Long spoke, topped by his confidence, makes him more of a genuine ''young master'' than others. A hint of his nobleness is freshpared to useless, spoiled kids with no manners and respect for elders.


    Xia Hongyi sighed inside, remembering several ''unpleasant'' encounters.


    He stared at Yu Long''s golden eyes and replied, "Well, you can call Uncle Hongyi. But, I''ll also call you Nephew Long."


    "Your father talks a lot about you."


    "Is that so?" Yu Long was amused.


    "Yes, but let''s change the ce. Talking here isn''t very convenient." Xia Hongyi noticed some people watching them from afar. "Let me lead you inside."


    "Sure." Yu Long and his maids followed Xia Hongyi inside.


    He nced at the empty spot where a youngdy used to stand and stared at him a few moments ago.


    ''And she ran away like a rabbit.'' Yu Long thought, smirking at the thought of meeting the heroine for the first time. The young Xia Qingyue is more cute than beautiful, which adds to her charm.


    Entering the Xia Manor, Yu Long observed the buildings and nodded at how well-ced this courtyard was. The walls are high, not allowing ''ordinary'' people to peek inside.


    One iron rule in this world''s business field is not to meddle with profound practitioners. However, this rule is wed because profound practitioners dedicated almost everything in this world.


    Strength is everything. So, without strength protection. Any business is ''literally'' destined to fail.


    Xia Hongyi is a rare businessman. He has the protection of several profound practitioners but never directly intervenes with them.


    He''s like a shadow observer.


    He appeared warm and weing, yet his connection was as deep as the calmke. Of course, it''s not as deep as the Four Great Sects and Sacred Grounds.


    Leading them into a gallery room, Xia Hongyi ordered some maids to prepare tea and snacks for Yu Long.


    He sat down and gestured, "Nephew Long."


    Yu Long nodded, sitting down with his maid.


    Xia Hongyi picked something from his sleeve and ced it on the table between them. "I''ve received the letter from 4th Madam, and she asks me to help you when staying in the Floating Cloud City."


    "It''s not a big problem, but..."


    "I heard you are quite talented in martial arts." He gave Yu Long a knowing look.


    "It''s just a hobby of mine, uncle." Yu Long shrugged helplessly. "Maybe my father is just exaggerating things."


    Xia Hongyi kept praising him, "Even if it is just a hobby, you achieved impressive things at a young age."


    "My request is simple... I hope you can help my son."


    "Although my son hid it from me, he wants to be a profound practitioner in the future. Well, he''s just nine at the moment. There are still five years before his profound veins mature."


    Xia Hongyi sighed, "He''s a timid, naive, trusting, yet kind boy. So, I wish he could protect himself more than anything."


    "You''re making it hard to refuse, you know?" A wry expression appeared on Yu Long''s face. "Very well, I''ll help him do some exercise."


    Deep inside, Yu Long punched the air in excitement.


    Heck, yeah!


    At first, Yu Long wants to make a random excuse to be close to Xia Hongyi''s children. Yet the flow of destiny helps him and causes Xia Hongyi to ask for it instead.


    "Many thanks, nephew." Xia Hongyi bowed slightly, letting out a sigh of relief.


    "It''s not hard of a task, uncle." Yu Long returned, noticing someone''s presence outside the gallery room.


    "But someone who eavesdrops might want toe in now."


    "Hmm?" Xia Hongyi heard a little gasp and turned around.


    "Qingyue?"


    The door slowly opened and revealed a charming youngdy. Her ears are seemingly a little red after Yu Long caught her red-handed.


    Xia Qingyue is Xia Hongyi''s first child and the heroine of this world.


    She''s ten at the moment. Her body had just begun to grow, especially in two ces. Her long ck hair let loose, stopping just right below her shoulders.


    She has a pair of pure ck eyes with crystal-like pupils. Her eyebrows are thin, adorably framing her eyes. Her little nose and mouth enhance her cuteness even more.


    Xia Qingyue wore a blue dress with no essories. Even then, she still stood out.


    "Qingyue was just passing by, father." Xia Qingyue opened her mouth, trying to make a quick excuse.


    Yu Long leaned his chin at the back of his hand, "You''re not very good at lying, aren''t you?"


    "I am not..." Xia Qingyue returned calmly, but Yu Long shook his head at her denial.


    Xia Hongyiughed at the two and said, "Nephew, let me introduce you to my daughter."


    "Her name is Xia Qingyue. She''s slightly aloof but a thoughtful girl."


    "Qingyue, let me introduce you to the son of Father''s friend." Xia Hongyi added quickly.


    "His name is Yu Long. He''s the fourth young master of the Yu n."


    "He''s very talented."


    "Nice to meet you." Yu Long greeted her with a smile.


    "Nice to meet you..." Xia Qingyue responded indifferently.


    "Then, Qingyue will excuse herself." After saying that, she bowed and left.


    An awkward sigh escaped Xia Hongyi''s mouth, "She doesn''t mean to be rude, Nephew Long. Please don''t take her incivility to your heart."


    "I don''t mind, uncle." Yu Long casually replied. "I''m not that fragile."


    "Maybe I shouldn''t tease her in our first meeting."


    "Well, I''d like to rest for now."


    "I understand. Servants! Escort Nephew Long to the guest room." He raised his voice slightly.


    Yu Long gave Xia Hongyi a respectful bow before leaving with Lily and Hong Guan.


    After Yu Long left, Xia Hongyi stared at the ceiling andmented, "I''ve never seen my daughter so flustered before."


    "This is the first time we talked after several weeks."


    "Maybe it''s a good thing. Qingyue has no friends since Dongxue left..."


    Uttering the word ''Dongxue.'' pained Xia Hongyi, but he must stay collected and have a firm heart.


    He shook his head lightly andmented, "Brother Zhan, your youngest son is exceptional indeed."


    Walking behind Xia Manor''s maid, Yu Long has an amused expression stered over his handsome face. ''Maybe this trip won''t be so boring after all.'' He thanked his mother for proposing the idea of going here.


    "Your mood is much better than before, young master." Lily couldn''t help but point out. "Is it because of the Young Lady Xia?"


    Yu Long waved his hand and lied as he breathed, "Well, not really."


    "She''s definitely the type of person I haven''t encountered before."


    "But... That''s it."


    "Yet you tease her." Hong Guan squinted her eyes.


    "Are you doubting me, Sister Guan?" Yu Long puffed his cheek, acting like a wronged younger brother.


    "Hmph. I can''t win against you in conversation, huh?" Hong Guan swayed her head away.


    Meanwhile, on the other side of Xia Manor, Xia Qingyue entered her room and locked the door.


    She jumped onto the bed and lightly hit the pillow a few times in frustration.


    She''s still a young girl at the end of the day.


    ''What was that guy!'' She buried her head on the pillow.


    ''How did he notice me eavesdropping?!''


    ''I never felt like this. It was so...''


    ''Irritating...''


    Unknown to Xia Qingyue, her newfound frustration would grow into curiosity and fascination.

    We have reached 100k views!


    Thanks, everyone!


    --- Chapter 13 ---


    After settling down at the Xia Manor, Yu Long slept for four hours before something woke him up.


    "Nyuu!" Woby rubbed its head against his cheek.


    "You know, I was pretty tired." Yu Long sighed, patting the slime.


    "OwO?" Woby bounced left and right.


    He fed Woby with a water-attributed essence sphere and jumped from his bed, stretching slightly.


    "How quiet." Hemented, not hearing any sounds in the Xia Manor.Yu Long grabbed his coat and walked out, seeing a bright white moon beaming up the courtyard near his room. He searched for afortable ce and sat down on a rock, enjoying the view of a starry night.


    Ten years have passed since Yu Long reincarnated in this world.


    He became more ustomed to the Cultivation World''s culture, fully embracing it thanks to his family andpanion. Several deep thoughts about what he should do in the future shed momentarily, causing Yu Long tough helplessly.


    ''I shouldn''t overthink it.'' Yu Long expected something outrageous to happen sooner orter. His literal existence would definitely cause a butterfly effect.


    He closed his eyes and cultivated the Arts of Ghost, utilizing the Yin Element from the moon. His presence bes colder and less pronounced as time passes.


    After an unknown time, Yu Long noticed the noise of one''s step.


    It was light and somewhat clumsy.


    "Oya, oya. Young Lady Xia, what are you doing there?" Yu Long turned around and grinned at the girl in red pajamas.


    Xia Qingyue froze in the open hallway.


    She looked at the courtyard and saw Yu Long sitting on the ornamental rock. "It''s not your concern..." She coldly replied, walking even faster to avoid him.


    Yu Long shook his head gently, "That was colder than I expected."


    "Then, again... We aren''t that close."


    Xia Qingyue stomped her foot against the floor.


    She was thirsty and wanted to grab a ss of water in the kitchen but met with that irritating fellow instead. She quenched her thirst and brought a pot full of water so she wouldn''t have toe here again.


    Walking in the hallway where Yu Long spotted her, Xia Qingyue couldn''t help but check the courtyard to see if Yu Long was still there.


    "He should have returned to his room." Xia Qingyue sighed in relief.


    "Do you miss my handsome face or something?" Yu Long''s head suddenly popped out from the open hallway''s railing.


    "Kyaa!"


    Xia Qingyue was spooked. She threw the pot in her hands away, which Yu Long caught without spilling anything.


    Yu Long smoothly ced the pot back in her hands andmented with a chuckle, "Oops there, you almost dropped that, haha."


    "Well, I''m done here." He patted Xia Qingyue''s head, tidying her scattered ck hair. "Have a nice night, Young Lady Xia."


    "..." Xia Qingyue stared down at the pot of water in her hands. There is no ripple as if she didn''t throw it earlier.


    She stared at Yu Long, who disappeared on the corner, and frowned, "Just who is he?"


    ...


    The next day.


    Yu Long woke up in perfect condition. After changing his clothes, he went to the courtyard and started doing exercises to stretch his tight muscles.


    Several workouts finished quickly, leaving Yu Long with slightly damp clothes.


    He entered a lotus position and ced his hands on the abdomen. The ultraviolet light from the morning sun bathed his body, triggering a change in his vitality.


    Arts of Violet Mist. Warm currents flowed to all of Yu Long''s limbs and strengthened them.


    And Yu Long felt his strength increase quite a bit.


    2nd Level of Elementary Profound Realm!


    Yes, Yu Long just had a breakthrough.


    At Elementary Profound Realm, strength, speed, and senses are above ordinary living beings.


    However, for Yu Long, who had long exceeded ordinary living beings, this was an insignificant increase in force.


    Well, Yu Long can''tin. Progress is progress, regardless of how little or significant they are for his growth.


    "I have gained the bnce of Yin and Yang Elements. It seemsst night''s cultivation session wasn''t that bad." Yu Long recalled Xia Qingyue''s shocked face.


    He burst outughing, feeling a little bad for startling her.


    Cough! Cough!


    Someone faked a cough, trying to gain Yu Long''s attention.


    "Uncle Hongyi." Yu Long spotted Xia Hongyi and a bricked youth behind him. "Morning, and this fellow is?"


    "He''s my son I talked about yesterday. Xia Yuanba and he''s one year younger than you." Xia Hongyi answered calmly.


    "Yuanba, this is Yu Long. The son of Father''s friend."


    "He''s very skilled in martial arts, so I hope you can learn one or two from him."


    "Greet him." He added with a smile.


    ''Very skilled, huh?'' Yu Long saw Xia Hongyi in apletely different light now.


    "M-Morning, Big Brother Yu Long!" Xia Yuanba timidly greeted, bowing his head rapidly like a chicken.


    It makes Yu Long feel awkward.


    And here is why.


    Xia Yuanba is a muscr youth around the same height as Yu Long, who''s 4''9 or 154 centimeters. He has short, messy ck hair and an innocent face.


    He wore a blue and ck martial robe, but these clothes couldn''t hide his muscles, especially his arms. Anyone would have never thought this youth was only nine years old.


    The only child-like appearance is his face.


    ''Yu Long observed Xia Yuanba with [Insect King''s Vision] and [Profound Sense] andmented internally, ''As expected from the possessor of the Tyrannical Emperor''s Profound Veins.''


    Due to some innate energy within his body, Xia Yuanba is nothing sort of a miracle.


    His bones are thrice as hard as kids of the same age.


    His muscle tissue is denser.


    Andstly, his blood is filled with vitality.


    These factors alone make Xia Yuanba a natural-born fighter.


    After recovering from the shock, Yu Long waved his hand casually and responded, "Just call me Big Bro or Brother Long from now on."


    "T-Then, Big Bro!" Xia Yuanba smiled brightly at him.


    ''Ah, so bright...'' Yu Long squinted his eyes.


    Xia Hongyi felt proud of himself when Yu Long didn''t mind his son''s timidness.


    "Learn well, Yuanba." He patted Xia Yuanba''s shoulder with a chuckle and then walked away, leaving them alone in the courtyard.


    ''He really dumped his son to me.'' The corner of Yu Long''s mouth twitched slightly.


    Yu Long stared at the muscr youth and said, "I don''t know much about your current condition. So, we will start from the basics."


    "Run, Yuanba!"


    "Start running as if your life depends on it!"


    "B-But..." Xia Yuanba panicked.


    "I said run!" Yu Long pulled a sword from his spatial ring, starting to chase the muscr youth.


    "Uwaaaa!"


    Xia Yuanba ran away from Yu Long, circling around the Xia Manor for several hours.


    They did a ''cat and mouse'' chase until noon when Xia Yuanba spent all his stamina and dropped to the courtyard. A cloud of dust flew everywhere as the sweaty youth fainted.


    ''Such immense stamina.'' Yu Long stared at Xia Yuanba with an amused expression. He looked around and dragged Xia Yuanba under a big tree with shade.


    He created a small needle with his bone and secretly collected some drops of Xia Yuanba''s blood.


    He also recorded the muscr youth''s profound patterns to research the ''aspect'' of the Tyrannical Emperor''s Profound Veins.


    "Ugh..." Xia Yuanba slowly woke up.


    He sat on the grass and rubbed his head painfully.


    "Wake up already?" Yu Long grinned at the muscr youth.


    He handed him a muscle recovery medicine and added, "Here, drink this. Your body will feel a lot better."


    "Thank you, Big Bro." Xia Yuanba nodded, drinking the medicine without doubting Yu Long. As Xia Hongyi said, he''s a very trusting child.


    "Aren''t you mad at me?" Yu Long asked. It''s just a simple question to loosen up the mood.


    Xia Yuanba shook his head a few times and replied, "No. I''m not mad at all."


    "I know to be a martial artist, I must work hard. When I be powerful enough and can cultivate, I''ll protect my father and older sister!"


    "Is that so?" Yu Long chuckled at Xia Yuanba''s simple yet challenging goal. After all, the heroine is almost the source of every problem in the Cultivation World.


    "You''re a good kid, Yuanba."


    "Funny, Big Bro. You''re only one year older than me." Xia Yuanba giggled, patting dust from his body. "Aren''t you a kid too?"


    Yu Long gazed into the distance, "Haha, I wish..."


    Not long after, Yu Long and Xia Yuanba became friends.


    ...


    Not far away, Xia Qingyue observed Yu Long and Xia Yuanba from a bush.


    She has been doing this for hours, from when Yu Long chased Xia Yuanba to this amiable moment.


    She also overheard Xia Yuanba''s words about protecting her, which caused the cold girl to smile.


    Xia Qingyue stared at Yu Long''s rxed expression and mumbled, "Maybe..."


    "Maybe he isn''t that infuriating..."

    --- Chapter 14 ---


    Three weekster.


    Yu Long''s daily life in the Xia Manor is excellent.


    Every day, he''d stay till midnight and train [Arts of Ghost], raising his affinity toward Yin(Darkness Element). Sometimes, Yu Long met with Xia Qingyue when the moon hung in the sky, making them closer despite the initial coldness.


    Of course, this doesn''t mean the heroine would take the initiative to talk with Yu Long. Even after weeks, she''s still aloof as ever.


    Yu Long had never seen Xia Qingyue smile, and his teasing only caused her to be flustered. Although it was great to see her cutely avoiding him, her acts at such a young age made him helpless.


    After that, Yu Long slept until morning. In the morning, Yu Long trained [Arts of Violet Mist] and counteracted his Yin(Darkness Element with Yang(Light Element). And three weeks of casual cultivation has allowed him to break through five more times.


    Yes, Yu Long is currently in the 7th Level of Elementary Profound Realm.


    Although his strength didn''t increase much, Yu Long''s understanding of the ''profound way'' is several times better. There was something that books couldn''t exin, after all.


    It is better to walk ten thousand miles than read ten thousand books.


    Maybe Yu Xin''s decision to send Yu Long to the Floating Cloud City works wonders. He should experience more journeys than locking himself in the underground library.


    After his cultivation session, Yu Long observed Xia Yuanba exercising to build his foundation for cultivation. He has made an exercise method to help the muscr youth squeeze his overloaded vitality out.


    Xia Yuanba might be tired, but he''d feel great shortly after.


    The benefit of havingrge vitality is that Xia Yuanba''s profound veins might mature earlier.


    It also confirmed Yu Long''s theory.


    Why did people in the Upper Realm cultivate earlier than people in the Blue Pr Star? The answer is the energy density up there is several times better than in this ce.


    Their profound veins are bound to mature faster because of overflowing vitality, allowing them to start cultivation at age seven or younger.


    But everyone has their talents and fortuitous encounters. Some are born lucky, and some aren''t.


    The situation of Primal Chaos is dangerous. Living in the Blue Pr Star, far away from the Divine Realm and on the corner of the universe, is better for safe development.


    Above all, Blue Pr Star has many legaciespared to the so-called ''Realm of Gods.'' people who gatekeep theirs.


    Anyway, back to the topic.


    The heroine''s little brother used to hesitate to call Yu Long ''Big Bro.'' and was embarrassed. However, now? When he spots Yu Long anywhere, he starts shouting and waving at him.


    As much as Yu Long was annoyed by Xia Yuanba''s antics, he couldn''t do much about it.


    Talking about Xia Yuanba''s antics, Yu Long finally met the protagonist because of him.


    Yup, the Against the Gods'' protagonist, Xiao Che or Yun Che!


    Still, this Yun Che is much more confident than Yu Long remembered.


    Yun Che probably hasn''t realized that his profound veins are ''purposely'' broken. Soon, the protagonist will get condemned by the entire city, his n, and his peers.


    The title ''cripple.'' will be his sooner orter.


    And they will hate him even more when the engagement with Xia Qingyue is ''maliciously'' publicized.


    Even then, Yu Long didn''t meddle too much with Yun Che. Xia Yuanba only introduced them to each other for a brief moment and then disappeared with the protagonist to y around somewhere.


    After collecting Yun Che''s blood, Yu Long left the protagonist alone. If fate works as intended, Yun Che will die because of poison and get reced by another Yun Che from another life.


    It''s bullshit, but that''s Mirror of Samsara for you!


    This heavenly treasure is literally fucked with reincarnation, karma, and destiny.


    Well, Yu Long pushed that matter aside for now.


    Yu Long''s schedule continued into the evening. He will experiment with his profound way, patterns, and aspects until dinner time.


    He has made some discoveries already.


    With the abundant material, Yu Long believed he could copy and imnt the ''Tyrannical Aspect.'' of Xia Yuanba''s Tyrannical Emperor Profound Veins.


    On top of that, Xia Yuanba gave Yu Long a big surprise. It contained a ''Primordial Energy'' that shouldn''t have existed in this era, maybe because his mother possessed the Divine Stainless Body.


    The Divine Stainless Body allowed someone to possess pure ''Primordial Energy.'', but only women could have this unique constitution. While the ''Primordial Energy'' couldn''t be absorbed by others. The infant born within such a body would exist together, with the pure primordial aura from the moment ites into existence.


    Even if the infant''s potential would be far fromparable to the gods born amidst the primordial energy at the beginning of the Primal Chaos, the inherent nature of its physique would be simr to them.


    In other words, the descendent born from a woman with the Divine Stainless Body will have overpowered talents!


    Not only do they have overpowered talents, but there''s also a significant possibility for them to have a unique ''physique'' or even an already extinct variant physique.


    The first child of descendants born would have an especially astonishing talent and physique. Xia Qingyue is an example.


    Even though the following child will have less primordial energy, they would still be iparable to ordinary people.


    Yu Long could trace everything back with his [Kaiju Maker] with some fewer details.


    Still, he was sure Xia Qingyue had 90% of the Primordial Energy in her mother''s womb, and Xia Yuanba got the rest 10%.


    Yu Long tried to replicate ''Primordial Energy'' in the past three weeks but bore no result. He knew [Kaiju Maker] could do it, and an invisible barrier prevented him from doing it.


    That invisible barrier is his iplete past life''s memory!''


    Besides obtaining the pattern of the ''Tyrannical aspect.'' from Xia Yuanba, Yu Long also attained the ''Manifestation aspect.'' of Yun n''s Profound Handle from Yun Che''s blood and the ''Scarlet Dragon aspect.'' from the Scarlet Dragon''s blood.


    [Kaiju Maker] gave Yu Long''s capacity to sense and crystalize things to a subatomic level. The secret of one''s blood, or ''more precisely'' gic codes, is nothing to him.


    The next step is to copy. All Yu Long needed was to imnt the pattern of these aspects to someone, granting that person with a simr perk possessed by the sample.


    Increase in Cultivation Speed and Physical Prowess.


    Spiritual Manifestation.


    Physical Manifestation.


    Pure-blooded Dragon''s Strength and Fire.


    Everything is possible now.


    Yu Long originally nned to imnt an ''essence sphere'' in others butter discovered the ''essence spheres'' rejected anyone without [Kaiju Maker].


    And he discovered it in a bloody way, watching the scummy bandit''s body explode into blood mist.


    The only way to give someone Kaiju''s power is by having that person die and turn into an ''essence sphere.'' andbine it with another ''essence sphere.'',pletely turning humans into Half-Kaiju.


    Unfortunately, this procedure isn''t feasible because the essence sphere of humans contains not only ''memories'' but also their dying spirit. This dying spirit makes it hard to fuse with other essence spheres.


    Profound beasts'' essence sphere is easier to handle because their minds don''t mature until they gain wisdom, like the scarlet dragon.


    Yes, the source of the problem is Yu Long''s mastery over [Kaiju Maker] is far from enough.


    He awakened his power one year more than in his previous life.


    Thinking about it makes Yu Long depressed.


    ...


    Yu Long sat on his bed, adjusting his physical and mental condition to their peak.


    He inhaled a lot of oxygen and blew it out a few secondster.


    Yu Long raised his right hand, creating a vortex of color.


    Gold, white, and scarlet colors intertwined above his palm. It emitted a mysterious atmosphere.


    These are the aspects Yu Long discovered so far.


    "Fuu..."


    "As Mario said, here we go!" Yu Long slowly brought his right hand into his chest and pushed the vortex inside his body.


    Crack!


    His bone cracked upon contact with the vortex.


    His muscles bulged, squirming like worms.


    His blood boiled, gaining a red hue.


    "Keep it down..." Yu Long gritted his teeth, feeling every inch of his body change quickly.


    Suddenly, Yu Long''s head burst with wonders as the ''Manifestation Aspect.'' opened a new realm for him.


    Yu Long rolled his eyes and seemingly fainted. His veins exploded and painted his clothes with redness.


    Several hourster.


    Yu Long''s body slowly adjusted to the new changes added by the aspects. A gentle white light covered his body.


    "Nyuu?" Woby appeared from Yu Long''s inner world.


    The slime stared at its maker and tried to wake him by nudging its head against his cheek.


    Sizzle~!


    The wood floor released a sizzling noise.


    "Nyuu!" Woby felt threatened and stepped back.


    An ethereal humanoid figure appeared above Yu Long''s body, hovering silently. It possesses a muscr physique and is ''thoroughly'' covered byyers of faint scarlet dragon scales. Its facial feature is hidden by thick mist, but there is a ck sword mark on its forehead.


    Woby stared at the humanoid figure and trembled, "Nyuu?"


    ''Master?''


    Yu Long opened his eyes, revealing a pair of slitted golden dragon eyes.


    He shook his head a few times and got a headache, feeling an extra weight on his consciousness.


    He nced at the humanoid figure behind him and shouted, "What the fuck?!"


    "T-This is..."


    "Stand!"

 Chapter 16: The Overpowered Manifestation Aspect

    Chapter 16: The Overpowered Manifestation Aspect


    --- Chapter 15 ---


    Yu Long gazed at the muscr humanoid with a dumbfounded look. He could feel his connection with it, and put it bluntly, it was an extension of his will.


    Unlike the one in Jojo, Yu Long''s uh-! Let''s call it Stand, for now, doesn''te into existence due to a mysterious meteor falling from the sky.


    It was a manifestation of Yu Long''s previously nk aspects. After adding [Tyrannical], [Scarlet Dragon], and [Manifestation] aspects into his body, a spirit that no one has ever seen before was ''identally'' created!


    The source of this manifestation is probably ''Profound Handle'' from Yun n''s Bloodline. Although Yu Long doesn''t recall the Yun n from the upper realm before, this phenomenon answers it without a doubt, as they actually inherited the power of the Primordial God.


    Profound Handle allows physical, spiritual, and godly manifestations to appear in reality, as the protagonist Yun Che once demonstrated in an upper realm tournament by manifesting several divine beasts(bloodlines or a will left behind in his body) with this innate ability.


    Yu Long didn''t have those divine beast''s bloodlines or wills, shaping the Stand with [Tyrannical] and [Scarlet Dragon] characteristics he got from Xia Yuanba and the Scarlet Dragon instead.


    Although Yu Long hasn''t found the genuine answer, his spection seems urate. This Stand is abination of spiritual and physical manifestations of his aspects.


    Yu Long tried tomand his ''Stand'' around, and the muscr humanoid image hovered around to follow his order.It starts with a cup of coffee on the table.


    And continue by phasing through solid objects like walls.


    After that, the ''Stand'' starts posing like a bodybuilder and increases its muscle mass several times. It also generates sturdy scarlet-colored dragon scales and a bright fire.


    Last but not least, the ''Stands'' could project a spiritual attack on one''s spirit.


    Yu Long was excited by this discovery. He jumped from his bed and ran away to the nearest forest, wanting to test this ''Stand'' of his even further.


    One girl in particr followed Yu Long secretly from behind, wondering where he was going. And what''s he going to do?


    Yu Long arrived at the edge of ake, summoning his ''Stand'' again.


    It releases intense pressure and ignites the air, creating a spark left and right.


    Yu Long ordered the ''Stand'' to punch the air, and it followed.


    BOOM!


    The ''Stand'' pulled his right and punched the air. A vacuum was ''instantly'' created and blew theke, causing a pir of water to rise high.


    Yu Long frowned slightly, "Keep going!"


    He estimated the power of his ''Stand'' by testing its limit and realized the strength was around the same as his.


    No, maybe 50% more, but that''s it.


    If Yu Long used the ''Cultivation Realm'' as the measurement, this ''Stand'' should be around the peak Earth Profound Realm or 1st Level of the Sky Profound Realm.


    "Use your ability!"


    The ''Stand'' nodded and lifted its right hand, summoning a burning scarlet fire. An image of a ''Tyrannical Dragon'' appears for a second and pounces on theke.


    KABOOOOM!


    Theke ''literally'' evaporated. A new surge of water flowed down from the mountain and replenished the charred crater slowly.


    "..." Yu Long''s mouth was wide open.


    This strength is too exaggerated.


    But then Yun Long noticed the weakness of this ''Stand'' as he fell on his knee and felt extremely tired.


    All his stamina and mental energy seemingly sucked dry.


    "Fuck, no wonder it was so strong." Yu Long cussed under his heavy breathing. "How many multipliers was that..."


    Yu Long adjusted his breathing, watching the ''Stand'' slowly disperse into thin air because he didn''t have enough energy to use it.


    "Oh well, a new mystery to tackle." Yu Long couldn''t help but grin at the ''Stand'' potential.


    However, calling it ''Stand'' is bizarre.


    It''s more of incarnation or some sort, after all.


    It needs a more fitting name.


    Stand? It''s good Yu Long doesn''t want to butcher Jojopletely.


    Martial Soul or Martial Spirit? Nope, another story has it already.


    Primordial Avatar? Meh, too mouthful.


    "Whatever, I''ll call it Profound Incarnation for now. Adding anything with ''Profound'' is the way of this world!" After naming the newfound discovery, Yu Long consumed some essence spheres to recover his stamina and mental energy.


    These essence spheres were too low grade to increase his ability, but they were a ''great'' supplement for his recovery.


    "Who is there?!" Yu Long turned around as he sensed a movement behind bushes.


    He frowned and pulled out a bone spear, approaching the bushes.


    "Get out of there. I know you were spying on me." He coldly said, but no response came from the bushes.


    "No response, huh? Then, don''t me me for not sparing you-!" Yu Long''s killing intent soared as he stabbed the spear into the bushes.


    "K-Kyaa!"


    A girl''s squealing noise echoed in the forest.


    Yu Long felt his spear graze someone and reach the ground. He yanked the bushes away and saw Xia Qingyue in a messy appearance. Her beautiful blue dress was ''slightly'' ripped on the shoulder area and full of mud on other parts. A shallow cut appeared on Xia Qingyue''s now bloodied skin.


    "Haa, Young Lady Xia." Yu Long said in surprise.


    "Did you see my secret?"


    Xia Qingyue slowly nodded her head, looking down at the ground. She was terrified and shivered like a wet dog.


    Yu Long''s expression turned cold, "You do know that I can''t let you away with my secrets, right?"


    "I-I''m sorry, I-I will not tell anyone." Xia Qingyue replied with a stutter.


    "Pfft, As if I believe you." Yu Long snorted indifferently. "I''d rather get rid of you right now and make some excuse for Uncle Hongyiter."


    Xia Qingyue''s body shivered even more. She panicked as she bit her lips to think of a solution to this problem.


    She gritted her teeth and stared at Yu Long''s menacing golden eyes. The eyes gave her a dominating feeling.


    She has seen many profound practitioners before.


    However, none of them are as strong as Yu Long.


    Ignoring her bleeding shoulder, Xia Qingyue bowed on the ground and smacked her forehead against the mud, "P-Please don''t kill me."


    Sob! Sob!


    Xia Qingyue''s eyes welled up with tears.


    Although she was only ten, she regretted many things in her life.


    "I haven''t been filial enough to my father."


    "I also haven''t been a good sister to Yuanba."


    "And my mother. I don''t want to die...."


    "I don''t want to before meeting her again..."


    "P-Please don''t kill me."


    ''I guess she wasn''t emotionless after all. Only when Xia Qingyue met Chu Yueli and got recruited by the Frozen Cloud Asgard did she be coldly unbearable.'' Yu Long thought while looking down at the messy heroine.


    Unknown to Yu Long, Xia Qingyue''s Heart of Snow zed ss started awakening because of him.


    It was only a portion of the real one, but Xia Qingyue was ''surely'' affected.


    "Fine." Yu Long heaved a sigh helplessly. "I''d not kill you."


    "But remember your words well. Be a good girl from now on, and don''t snuck around like this."


    "Curiosity kills cats, people say."


    "You''re lucky I''m not a serial killer or a pedophile."


    "Here, drink this." Yu Long handed a healing medicine to Xia Qingyue.


    Xia Qingyue lifted her head and stared at the jade bottle in Yu Long''s hand. Taking the jade bottle, she nodded and drank the liquid inside.


    It''s so bitter.


    However, Xia Qingyue could feel her body warming up.


    After that, Xia Qingyue fainted on the ground.


    Yu Long picked up the fainted heroine and brought her on his back.


    At the same time, Yu Long also took some of her blood and the patterns of her unique physique. There is also another pattern in Xia Qingyue''s mind, but Yu Long didn''t dare to approach it directly.


    Walking out of the woods, Yu Long sensed several profound practitioners approaching theke, probably checking the source of the explosion earlier.


    He shrugged and erased his presence, "They wouldn''t find anything besides a biggerke there."


    Yu Long leisurely walked into the Xia Manor through the backyard and felt Xia Qingyue lean her cheeks on his shoulder.


    He walked to Lily''s room and knocked on the door, "Lily, I need you to do something for me."


    Lily opened her door, "Oh, young master. What do you need-!?"


    She looked at the dirty Xia Qingyue andmented, "Did you finally decide to kidnap her?"


    "..." Yu Long''s mouth twitched as he flicked his maid''s forehead.


    "Ouch!" Lily covered her forehead, feeling wronged by her young master.


    "That hurts..."


    Yu Long shook his head lightly and replied, "Clean her up."


    "After that, put Xia Qingyue in her room." He handed the heroine to his maid.


    "Bye, I want to take a nap." He walked away, waving his hand like nothing ever happened.


    "Aih, you should be honest about yourself, young master." Lily sighed,pletely misinterpreting her young master''s intention.


    Looking at the dirty Xia Qingyue in her arms, the maid smiled and added, "Well, I can only follow his order."

 Chapter 17: The Heroine is a Stalker

    Chapter 17: The Heroine is a Stalker


    Good night, see you soon.


    Also, don''t forget to give this story power stones!


    --- Chapter 16 ---


    Xia Qingyue Pov.


    I''ve been watching Yu Long for three weeks now.


    Many things can describe this youth, but above all things, one word struck me the most.


    Bizarre.


    Unlike the youth of his age, Yu Long didn''t fawn or seem attracted to my charming appearance. It was weird because only Father and Yuanba have such a character. Well, they are my family.


    And I didn''t trust anyone besides my family.Yu Long is a youth of many talents.


    One day, I watched him talking with Xia Manor''s gardener. They seemed to have a conversation about herbs naturally grown near the Floating Cloud City.


    The next day, I watched him help the cksmith near the Floating Cloud City and even made weights for my brother''s training.


    I couldn''t tell if the weights were ''really'' made amazingly or not, as I don''t have such expertise, but the owner of the cksmith praised Yu Long highly.


    Just when I thought I had seen enough. Yu Long broke mymon sense as he kept doing bizarre things over the weeks.


    He visited the barns, feeding cows and chickens.


    He saved some farmers by giving them some concoctions to get pests away.


    He taught grandmas how to knit more efficiently.


    He hunted small beasts and even cooked them for dinner.


    I have never tasted such tasty delight in my life. It was my first experience.


    My frustration about Yu Long slowly changes into bewilderment.


    Is there anything this fellow can''t do?


    The more I observed Yu Long from afar, the more fascinated I became.


    Then I realized something.


    I was ''actually'' drawn to Yu Long''s uniqueness.


    However, I noticed Yu Long didn''t like attention, just like me.


    Yes, the talented youth seldom to replies about his identity when someone asks who he is.


    When he answered something, it was the same line of words.


    "Haha, I''m just a kid who is bored."


    Boredom?


    I couldn''t believe my ears at the time.


    Just how much time did he have to learn all these skills?


    I read in the books that some experts, in a profound way, could maintain their youthfulness in a ''certain'' realm. Still, I denied this thought because Father introduced me to Yu Long when we met for the second time.


    He''s the fourth young master of the Yu n.


    And the youngest son of the Yu n''s Master.


    His identity is confirmed, but it also left me confused.


    After all, Yu Long is ten years old.


    There is no way Yu Long learned since he was in the womb, no? That would be ridiculous.


    Yet, this pushes my curiosity to grow even more.


    Then, my curiosity got me in trouble.


    Just like any other day, Yu Long finished training my brother. He seems to be satisfied with Yuanba''s growth.


    After that, Yu Long went to his room and rested for a couple of hours.


    I was bored, so books became the device to avert my attention.


    The temperature in my room rises slightly, which makes me frown.


    I have sensitive skin, so I noticed this change quickly.


    How weird.


    It is not the season where such heat affects the Xia Manor.


    Walking out of my room, several servants gossiped about Yu Long''s room being warmer than usual.


    I raised my eyebrow and decided to visit his room.


    The thought of him being in trouble shed in my mind, but I shook my head. That shouldn''t be possible.


    When I was about to knock on Yu Long''s room, I hesitated.


    "What if he doesn''t want to see me?"


    "What if he''s fine?"


    I stood there and was ''deeply'' trapped in my puzzling thoughts, not realizing hours had passed.


    I steeled my heart and decided to greet him.


    Yes, greet him.


    It''s normal to greet someone, right?


    And Yu Long''s somewhat confused and surprised voice echoed from the other side of the door. My head froze as I instinctively ran away to the corner of the hallway, staring at his room vigntly.


    Several minutester.


    Yu Long excitedly escaped his room and visited the forest.


    As curious as I am, I followed Yu Long to the woods. We arrived at theke I liked to visit when Mother still lived with us.


    Hiding in the bush, I can see a blurry being appear above Yu Long.


    That blurry being was ''immediately'' ordered by Yu Long to punch the air and create a booming noise.


    My mouth gaped in disbelief.


    I was so close to gasping but immediately closed my hand.


    Such power!


    Even the most impressive expert I know couldn''t achieve what this blurry being does.


    With a punch, the blurry being creates a loud noise and causes water pirs several meters high to rise.


    And it''s not over.


    As Yu Long ordered, the blurry being bes increasingly powerful as time passes. The water pir bes higher and higher.


    Finally, Yu Long told the blurry being to execute its ability.


    A scorching crimson me appeared out of nowhere.


    After that, an image of a scarlet dragon enveloped the blurry figure and the me, pouncing on theke.


    KABOOOOM!


    Theke.


    It vanished!


    I could only see a deep, scorched crater left.


    My jaw dropped.


    This power. Only the legendary Sky Profound Realm can achieve it!


    Yu Long fell on his knees, breathing heavily.


    I was worried and wanted to check his condition. I just realized my legs turned so soft due to the continuous shock. They are no different than jelly.


    After falling on my butt, mud sshed over my favorite dress.


    Yu Long seemingly noticed my presence.


    He brought a spear out of nowhere, approaching my location.


    He called and even threatened me toe out.


    My mouth wanted to utter something, but it was toote.


    Yu Long stabbed me in the shoulder, missing by a few inches as the spear reached the ground instead.


    Panic overridden my nerves.


    Cold sweats ran down my back.


    "Haa, Young Lady Xia." He said in surprise.


    "Did you see my secret?"


    I slowly nodded my head, looking down at the ground. I was terrified and shivered due to his intimidating presence.


    Yu Long''s expression turned cold, "You do know that I can''t let you away with my secrets, right?"


    "I-I''m sorry, I-I will not tell anyone!" I replied with a stutter, trying to make an excuse.


    "Pfft, As if I believe you." Yu Long snorted indifferently. "I''d rather get rid of you right now and make some excuse for Uncle Hongyiter."


    My body shivered even more. I panicked even more as I bit my lips to lessen the fear.


    My eyes met with his menacing golden eyes.


    At this moment, I know everything is on the line. This misunderstanding, I have to fix it somehow.


    Ignoring my bleeding shoulder, I bowed on the ground and buried my head against the mud, "P-Please don''t kill me."


    Sob! Sob!


    My eyes welled up with tears.


    I can''t think of any other ways.


    I be emotional.


    Something I tried to suppress for six years after my mother left me.


    I poured every emotional baggage.


    My regret.


    My wish.


    "I haven''t been filial enough to my father."


    "I also haven''t been a good sister to Yuanba."


    "And my mother. I don''t want to die...."


    "I don''t want to before meeting her again..."


    "P-Please don''t kill me."


    All of a sudden, I felt something awakened inside of me.


    Yu Long''s gaze wasn''t as menacing anymore.


    And I didn''t feel panicked or terrified either.


    "Fine." Yu Long heaved a sigh helplessly. "I''d not kill you."


    "But remember your words well. Be a good girl from now on, and don''t snuck around like this."


    "Curiosity kills cats, people say."


    "You''re lucky I''m not a serial killer or a pedophile."


    "Here," Yu Long handed a healing medicine to me.


    I lifted my head and stared at the jade bottle in Yu Long''s hand.


    However, I was distracted for a second.


    Yu Long''s figure was ''suddenly'' reced with a massive world filled with unfamiliar creatures. A handsome man stood above clouds with gigantic creatures that could trample mountains and seas easily.


    Not long after, Yu Long''s figure reced the handsome man.


    But this time, he was the one who stood above the clouds with one adorable blue-colored water blob.


    My vision returned to normal as Yu Long''s voice brushed my ears.


    "Drink it."


    I nodded and drank the medicine.


    It''s so bitter.


    Nevertheless, I feel my body warming up and bing better.


    Everything turned dark.


    ...


    I woke up on my bed, feeling a little sore.


    "This is... My room?" I tilted my head in confusion.


    "Was that a dream?"


    I nced at my injured shoulder and discovered a small, almost unnoticeable scar.


    "It''s not a dream!" I screamed and covered my mouth with pillows.


    Standing up, I saw my reflection in a tall mirror.


    "When did I change into my pajamas?"


    I thought about a scenario in my head and blushed shortly after.


    "D-Did Yu Long bathe me and change my clothes?" Surprisingly, I didn''t feel annoyed, afraid, or angry.


    My cheeks feel hot.


    My heart is beating so fast.


    Ah, so embarrassing!


    "What is this feeling?" I murmured, patting my chest.


    "S-Should I visit Yu Long? But it''s night already." Looking out the window, the only source of light out there is the moon.


    Fumbling my fingers around, I slowly crawled into my bed and buried myself in a nket. "Tomorrow..."


    "Tomorrow, when we have breakfast. I''ll ask Yu Long out and clear the misunderstanding." I firmly said with a smile, hugging my pillow with nervousness.


    I, Xia Qingyue, have never felt like this before.

 Chapter 18: Child make Mistakes

    Chapter 18: Child make Mistakes


    --- Chapter 17 ---


    Yu Long was awakened by a squishing sensation on his face.


    He groaned and pushed Woby away because the slime always woke him at five in the morning. Well, he requested the water blob to do so.


    After testing profound incarnation yesterday and handing Xia Qingyue to his maid, Yu Long went to his room and slept like a log.


    Even though Yu Long''s stamina was ''already'' recovered by consuming the essence sphere, his mental strength weakened significantly. No wonder he woke up with a splitting headache now.


    He smacked himself on the cheeks, feeling the radiating pain.


    "Well, another day, another grind." Yu Long sighed and grabbed a water-attributed essence sphere from his inner world.


    He threw it to Woby, and the slime jumped to eat it.


    "Nyuu~!" Woby makes a satisfied noise, rubbing its head against Yu Long''s heel."Let''s see..." Yu Long lifted his hand casually and summoned a bright scarlet me.


    "As expected."


    "When the profound incarnation doesn''t get called out, I can use all the aspects."


    "This includes..." Yu Long released an invisible force. It was a ck light around the size of an adult''s head. And yes, this is a Profound Handle.


    Using his will, the ck light transformed into a sword, spear, shield, and many others.


    Yu Long made a weird gesture with his hand, turning the dark light into an AK-47. A smile appeared on his handsome face because ''Profound Handle'' is such a versatile ability.


    He wanted to imagine a more Sci-fi weapon, but his past life''s memories were very blurred.


    But wait.


    In a way, Profound Handle is really simr to Green Lantern''s Ring.


    Why should he stop with a weapon?


    What about vehicles?


    Or a grander thing, like a sun.


    "Unfortunately, if I used ''Profound Handle'' myself, its power depended on my cultivation base." Yu Long sighed helplessly.


    How strong 7th Level of Elementary Profound Realm can be?


    Yu Long cast [Self-Purification] on himself and cleansed any impurities from his body, giving it to Woby. The slime happily devoured the impurities as it could improve its grade.


    Changing into fresh underwear and clothes, Yu Long brought Woby into his robe and walked out.


    "Young master." Lily and Hong Guan have been waiting for him.


    "Mm." Yu Long nodded as they strolled to the dining room.


    Arriving at the room, Yu Long could feel an awkward mood in the air.


    Yu Long looked around and noticed Xia Qingyue was sitting between Xia Hongyi and Xia Yuanba. He smiled inside because the heroine was telling the truth when confessing yesterday.


    A filial daughter and good sister, huh?


    She''s indeed bing more open than before.


    ''Well, this is better, I guess?'' Yu Long pulled a seat and sat down.


    Xia Hongyi faked a cough and greeted, "Good morning, nephew."


    It seems his daughter''s bizarre action really shocked him.


    "Morning, Big Bro." The same goes for Xia Yuanba, who lifted his chopsticks like a robot.


    "Morning." Yu Long replied calmly.


    "You too, Young Lady Xia."


    "Mm, good morning." Xia Qingyue let out a small smile.


    "Also... Thank you for yesterday, Young Master Yu."


    "It''s nothing." Yu Long was confused at first. He thought Xia Qingyue was thanking him for sparing her life and the medicine.


    Lily had a proud expression when hearing their interactions, gaining a weird look from Hong Guan.


    ''Did something happen yesterday?'' Hong Guan asked with sound transmission.


    Lily giggled and responded, ''Hehe, let me tell you...''


    As Lily recited her short story, Hong Guan''s expression shed with bafflement. She nced at Yu Long, not believing such a thing.


    Then, again. Xia Qingyue is a beautiful girl. And around the same age as Yu Long.


    ''They are perfect for each other...'' Hong Guan thought, hiding her emotion with a nk look.


    They have a hearty breakfast, and Xia Qingyue sometimes puts braised meats and vegetables on her father''s and young brother''s tes. It was her way of showing affection despite theteness.


    Xia Hongyi couldn''t contain his shock, but at the same time, Yu Long could see he was relieved.


    The person who couldn''t adapt well is probably Xia Yuanba. Xia Qingyue fed him enough to make three people stuffed. Thankfully, the younger Xia has the Tyrannical Emperor''s profound veins.


    After breakfast, Xia Hongyi excused himself as he still had work. As much as he wanted to bond more with his daughter, he noticed Xia Qingyue actually pushed herself to appear warm to them.


    It''s better to change slowly.


    Xia Hongyi might not know the trigger for Xia Qingyue''s sudden change, but if someone possesses the power to do so.


    That person must be.


    "It seems I owe Brother Zhan quite a lot now." Xia Hongyi stopped in the hallway and recalled Yu Long''s arrival at Xia Manor. He shook his head and enjoyed the morning''s sunlight.


    "Um, I''ll go and y with Brother Che." Xia Yuanba said, leaving the dining room hurriedly.


    "Enjoy yourself, Yuanba." Xia Qingyue waved at her younger brother.


    The servants from Xia Manor cleaned the dining room. It was fast and efficient.


    Xia Qingyue stared at the maids behind Yu Long, witnessing bright lights in their chests.


    She sighed and put on a serious expression, which didn''t match her young age.


    In the past, Yu Long would scoff at her aloofness.


    Still, today is different.


    Something about Xia Qingyue''s aura and temperament is distinct from the anti-social girl he had known for three weeks.


    There is a hint of mystery around her, which puzzled Yu Long.


    Then, Yu Long realized something.


    ''Heart of Snow zed ss... When did it get awakened? No fucking way!'' Yu Long blinked a few times.


    Xia Qingyue opened her mouth slowly and said, "Can we talk?"


    "Privately."


    "Just both of us."


    "And why so?" Yu Long tried to probe more about Xia Qingyue''s current state.


    "There is a misunderstanding we must fix." Xia Qingyue answered calmly.


    Yu Long tapped the dining table before nodding. "Lily, Sister Guan."


    "Yes, young master." The two maids bowed and left the room.


    ...


    Xia Qingyue''s eyes focused on Yu Long as she bowed slightly, "I''m sorry for my unsightly appearance yesterday."


    "I shouldn''t have sneaked around and put my nose into your secret."


    "As I promised, I won''t tell anyone about it. If my mouth ever uttered about such things. Then, heaven will punish me!" She firmly vowed, leaving Yu Long speechless inside.


    "Go on." Yu Long gestured, leaning on the table.


    Xia Qingyue took a deep breath and continued, "I also want to thank you for opening my eyes."


    "Yesterday, when I was on the verge of losing everything. I realized I didn''t have anything but immaturity and hopeless regret."


    "I overlooked my Father''s pain, knowing he was ''simrly'' pained just like me. I should have known better to be a good daughter or maybe cheer him up..."


    "Yet I didn''t do any of that. I buried myself in the obsession of finding my mother, which is still important to me, but I won''t let it blind me anymore."


    "Yuanba was still young at the time of Mother''s disappearance. So, he didn''t remember as much as I do." Xia Qingyue closed her eyes. "He never felt the warmness of a mother ever again after that."


    "That''s why he ends up timid and very trusting. There is nothing wrong with these two traits, but I should lead him more as an older sister."


    "You seem to forget something, Young Lady Xia." Yu Long chuckled helplessly.


    A question mark formed on Xia Qingyue''s head. "And what''s that?" She asked curiously.


    Yu Long stared at her and reminded, "You''re also a child."


    "Child makes mistakes."


    "And it''s okay to make one..."


    "It''s bound to happen sooner orter. Even I made several mistakes in the past."


    "However, from those mistakes... I learned a lot of things." He shed a grin at her.


    "You''re only ten, around the same age as me."


    "Raise your head and don''t repeat the same mistakes, or you''ll feel immense regret like yesterday."


    Xia Qingyue raised her head, seeing a warm yet bright golden light in Yu Long''s chest. Her eyes widened as she had never seen such a pure matter.


    Yu Long rubbed Xia Qingyue''s head gently and praised, "Still, Good job for admitting your mistakes."


    "Now, you have many things to learn..." He turned around and walked away.


    As if she were in a trance, Xia Qingyue watched Yu Long''s broad back and her lips quivered slightly, "Then..."


    "Can you teach me?"

    Chapter 19: Second Kaiju


    Want more chapters?


    Give this story more power stones!


    --- Chapter 18 ---


    Over two monthster.


    Since the incident with Xia Qingyue, Yu Long''s mood feels sour andplicated every day.


    After all, Yu Long led Xia Qingyue astray from her heroine path, but maybe this isn''t a bad thing.


    She awakened Heart of Snow zed ss earlier than it should have and even asked him to teach her. What kind of teaching did she want? They are literally the same age.


    On top of that, it seems he was the one who triggered this awakening.


    And what can Yu Long do? Except me himself for ying a mysterious and wise character in front of the fucking heroine.Rejecting Xia Qingyue back then would be counterproductive.


    As a resourceful person and expert researcher, Yu Long would rather have someone like Xia Qingyue with the Nine Profound Exquisite Body, Heart of Snow zed ss, and 90% Primordial Energy of Divine Stainless Body than piles of useless duplicated subjects.


    He could do many things with Xia Qingyue as his subject.


    That''s why Xia Qingyue became his assistant now, as her learning speed toward knowledge is godlike. Of course, what she learned the most is how to be open about herself.


    She has grown from an apathetic young girl to a sweeter version of herself that the original story didn''t have.


    Haha, fuck the plot!


    Aside from that, Yu Long also cracked the outeryer of Evil God''s Fire Seed with his [Kaiju Maker] andprehended the initial level of Fire Law.


    Although it was only the initial level of the Fire Law, the [Scarlet Dragon Aspect] he owned gained a qualitative change and became a brand new aspect called [Crimson Dragon Aspect].


    Yu Long could wield extreme fire above Sky Profound Realm now. It helps so much in the field of cksmithing and alchemy.


    After staying in the Xia Manor for three months, Yu Long also increased his cultivation base to the 10th Level of the Nascent Profound Realm.


    Not high enough? With Yu Long''s cultivation speed, how could he achieve so little?


    The answer is He wanted to uncover the secrets of every cultivation realm. Upon entering the Nascent Profound Realm, Yu Long could exert profound strength and absorb the power of heaven and earth.


    The essence of it was to have a connection with the world. Why would Yu Long hurry when he knows the best for himself?


    With the addition of [Arts of Ghost] and [Arts of Violet Mist], Yu Long''s profound strength is much purer and more refined than practitioners in the same cultivation realm.


    Thanks to the bnce of Yin(Darkness) and Yang(Light) elements in his body, Yu Long''s foundation is very stable as he could feel a surprise would happen when he reached the Sky Profound Realm.


    Sky Profound Realm, Yu Long was curious how it felt to do such a thing without the help of essence spheres and his kaiju.


    Yu Long also didn''t stay idle with his cultivation. He researched more about profound patterns, aspects, and incarnations.


    The profound patterns are the basis of everything. Nature, elements, energy, veins, and arts are ''inherently'' built on ''profound patterns'' with the example of one''s meridian and activation pattern.


    Strictly speaking, if one could master every pattern, that person would be invincible. Not only does ''profound pattern'' record one''s aspects, but it also could unearth something one has never seen before.


    For example, profound incarnations!


    Unfortunately, profound patterns study is like an infinite space filled with wonders. You made one discovery and opened ten more paths to walk into. Even with [Kaiju Maker], Yu Long barely touched the tip of the iceberg.


    On the other hand, the field of profound aspects and incarnations is more sessful.


    Using [Kaiju Maker] to decode the scarlet dragon''s bloodline, Yu Long traced its ancestry and even altered it.


    Although the altered bloodlines don''t have the original scarlet dragon''s power and fire anymore, Yu Long sessfully created entry levels of [Yin Dragon Aspect], [Yang Dragon Aspect], [Gale Dragon Aspect], and [Grass Dragon Aspect].


    There is an ''entry level'' attached to these aspects. And that''s because these bloodlines are artificially created and didn''t exist in the Primordial Era.


    It was the appearance of a new bloodline, making its potential unknown and undiscoverable until someone decided to explore it themselves.


    At the moment, only two tests, excluding Yu Long, seeded.


    Those two tests are Lily and Hong Guan, respectively.


    Lily received [Yang Dragon''s Bloodline] and [Grass Dragon''s Bloodline], awakening their aspects. Not long after, her cultivation soared to the 4th Level of Earth Profound Realm.


    Meanwhile, Hong Guan received [Yin Dragon''s Bloodline] and[Gale Dragon''s Bloodline]. Just like Lily, she awakened her aspects, and her cultivation erupted to the peak of Earth Profound Realm.


    These experiments show using bloodlines to awaken profound aspects is ''actually'' more orthodox than forcibly imnting them. It also answered Yu Long''s question about how Divine Beasts and Gods give their inheritors abilities and perks from some drop of blood.


    Those Divine Beings must have condensed their inheritance, energy, power, and profound aspects into their blood.


    At the same time, Yu Long''s research on profound incarnations is flourishing.


    The [Manifestation Aspect] is truly a work of art. It could awaken something it shouldn''t and achieve impossible things.


    At the same time, Yu Long also discovered its limitations.


    Humans couldn''t have more than three aspects. For now, that is.


    Adding more profound aspects means an extra burden on one''s body and spirit, ultimately killing that person. Thankfully, Lily and Hong Guan don''t want [Tyrannical Aspects] after he exins its effect.


    They didn''t want to be muscr like Xia Yuanba. Women like to be beautiful and pleasant to the eyes, okay?


    Of course, there is an expectation of this rule. Yu Long is different as he was [Kaiju Maker] and a literal founder of these fields.


    Back to the topic, Lily and Hong Guan received [Altered Yun n''s Bloodline] and awakened the initial level of [Manifestation Aspects].


    They didn''t awaken ''Profound Handle'' like any Yun n member because Yu Long didn''t think it was necessary. The [Manifestation Aspect] is the foundation behind this n''s unique ability.


    Yun n seemingly has restricted their bloodlines. The ''Profound Handle'' can be inherited by male and female members but can be passed on only by male members who possess the Yun Family bloodline. Female progeny can inherit but not pass on the ability.


    But they would have never thought such an abnormality like Yu Long with [Kaiju Maker] existed. Yu Long didn''t simply adjust Yu n''s bloodline so others could wield it. He also modified its given ability.


    Anyway, after awakening their [Manifestation Aspects], they also start the sign of projecting profound incarnations. They trained hard, unlike Yu Long, who could already use his ''profound incarnation'' immediately.


    So, Yu Long ordered them to show him their profound incarnations when they could materialize.


    And as usual, Yu Long''s schedule is busy.


    However, this is also time to make his second kaiju!


    ...


    Xia Manor, Study Room.


    Yu Long leaned on the table and drooled slightly.


    Xia Qingyue sat down not far away from him. She has a book and pencil in her delicate hands, writing about the foundation of profound ways based on one''s veins and cultivation arts.


    She has learned a lot under Yu Long''s teaching. Something other teachers her father hired couldn''t achieve.


    "And done..." Xia Qingyue finished her daily note, tracing 54 profound entrances in the human body and their efficient cirction pattern.


    She looked around for a bit and walked to Yu Long. She looked at his handsome face and put on a dreamy look.


    After awakening something within herself two months ago, Xia Qingyue started to have an ability to see other''s nature and personality.


    She has seen good souls and many bad ones.


    For example, many female servants in the Xia Manor desired Xia Hongyi(her father because of his deep pocket and wanting to be his mistress.


    Even though she was only ten, their desire disgusted her.


    Her father is a loyal man. Even after six years, he never forgets about her mother.


    Compared to them, Yu Long''s soul is a million times better. It was golden in color and burned like a bright star, releasing conqueror-like might and power to achieve something beyondmon sense.


    "So domineering, pure, beautiful, and full of miracles..." Xia Qingyue said in satisfaction. She has never been bored when looking at Yu Long''s soul, even developing an addiction thanks to it.


    Who would like to see ugly things when something like this exists?


    Girls like beautiful things, and even Xia Qingyue is no exception.


    cing a nket over Yu Long, Xia Qingyue smiled and said, "We haven''t eaten anything today."


    "Maybe I should cook for Yu Long for once..." Xia Qingyue also wants to show Yunlong her girl quality.


    Unknown to Xia Qingyue, Yu Long actually wasn''t fully asleep.


    He''s floating in the Inner World with Woby, deciding the second kaiju he should make.


    "Fuck, so many options!" He released a frustrated groan.


    "Nyuu, nyuu!" Woby pointed at itself.


    Yu Long smiled wryly, "No, Woby. No more slime for now."


    "Nyuu..." Woby deted in disappointment.


    Yu Long sighed and patted the slime, "I will make more slime friends for youter."


    "For now, we need a more versatile and helpful friend."


    "Nyuu!" Woby nodded in understanding.


    After a while, Yu Long finally decided. He needed a kaiju with more spirituality and innate mental power. Yes, something that can make illusions and manipte psychics'' energy.


    Fortunately, he encountered some profound beasts with this ability in the past. The essence sphere''s amounts are enough to make his second kaiju''s base.


    "Okay, let''s start..."


    Woby watched its maker selecting several essence spheres and was fascinated by the brilliant color.


    Vortex appeared one after another, merging into one entitypletely.


    Yu Long shaped his second kaiju carefully.


    And after several hours.


    "Done."


    A beautiful-looking kaiju hovered before Yu Long and Woby.

    --- Chapter 19 ---


    A beautiful butterfly pped its wings before Yu Long and Woby.


    Its entire body was a very dark shade of blue and over sixty centimeters long. White lines stretched from its antenna to its abdomen, creating this six-starred pattern that ends with its six legs. A pair of white ss-like, thin wings around two meters attached on its back, giving off an illusionary feeling.


    Lastly, a ck halo of light floated behind the butterfly.


    Yu Long blinked and received information about his second kaiju.


    <strong>Kaiju No. 2</strong>


    <strong>Species</strong>: Mutant Deste-Bite Hybrid<strong>Grade</strong>: A+


    <strong>Abilities</strong>: Telepathy, Innate Wisdom, Micro-Compound Eyes, Thoughts eleration, Mental Damage Nullification, Psychic Force, Dream Eater


    "My lord." A sweet female voice echoed in Yu Long''s head.


    "Thank you for creating me."


    Yu Long''s eyes widened as he returned, "You have awakened your wisdom already?"


    Innate Wisdom.


    A racial ability Yu Long obtained from a profound beast called the Brain-eating Beast that devoured other brains to gain knowledge and wisdom.


    However, Yu Long''s second kaiju actually awakened its wisdom without devouring any brain.


    The butterfly nodded and answered, "I inherited the memory of the Brain-eating Beast. It was iplete, but it allowed me to understand human speech, even without Telepathy."


    "Good, good." Yu Long grinned excitedly. Having an initial A+ grade showed how powerful this butterfly was. He was anxious his creation would have a problem.


    "I have decided. From now on, your name will be Yume."


    "Thank you, my lord~!" Yume responded happily.


    "Hahaha, I''ll depend a lot on you from now on, Yume. Researching alone without anyone understanding me." Yu Longughed.


    "Nyuu?" Woby watched their conversation with a confused look.


    ...


    Waking up, Yu Long felt a nket on his back.


    He shook his head and felt Xia Qingyue walking to the study room with a tray of food and drink.


    Xia Qingyue slid the door open and smiled, "Oh, you wake up?"


    "Let''s eat. We haven''t eaten anything today."


    "Sure." Yu Long responded calmly.


    They had lunch together, and Yu Long enjoyed the food wholeheartedly this time because creating Yume consumes so much energy.


    Although his vitality isn''t ''directly'' used to be converted into profound strength anymore, [Tyrannical Aspect] requires a certain amount of stamina.


    "That was good." Yu Long wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and praised the food.


    "I-Is that so?" Xia Qingyue reacted cheerfully. She was happy inside because Yu Long praised her cooking skills.


    Of course, Xia Qingyue won''t tell Yu Long right now. She has many recipes to try.


    If she told him right now, it wouldn''t be a surprise.


    After lunch, Yu Long brought Xia Qingyue to the courtyard and saw Xia Yuanba exercising with weights. The weights were ''actually'' made with high-quality dark steel, which is very heavy.


    Yu Long doesn''t have to be afraid of Xia Yuanba''s physical growth because this training won''t do anything harmful to his body.


    Xia Yuanba possessed the Tyrannical Emperor''s profound veins, so his physical prowess would be extraordinary without training. At the moment, Yu Long only stimted Xia Yuanba''s potential earlier and prepared him for a better stage.


    This continent-! No, this will not bury his talent.


    "Yuanba, dodge." Yu Long picked a random rock and threw it to the younger Xia.


    Xia Yuanba''s instinct reacted quickly as his entire body dodged from the squatting position to a hop. The rock flew through, missing its target.


    "Big Bro, you almost gave me a heart attack." Xia Yuanba patted his bulging chest.


    "As if such a pebble could injure you." Yu Long rolled his eyes at this fellow.


    What a drama queen.


    "So, how many sets can you do this time?" He asked the younger Xia.


    Xia Yuanba''s face was stered with a smug expression as he replied proudly, "Three hundred and sixty-nine sets!"


    "Oh?" Yu Long tilted his head. "Not bad."


    ''Yuanba is going to be an expert in the future.'' Xia Qingyue stared at her younger brother proudly.


    But there is a displeasure in her heart.


    She knew Xia Yuanba was young, but he actually liked to y with Xiao Che from the Xiao n nearby. If only he yed more with Yu Long, his future is guaranteed.


    Xia Qingyue couldn''t help but sigh when thinking about it.


    It''s not that she despised Xiao Che or anything. She thought it was just a waste of time.


    ''Then, again... Yuanba is only nine.'' Xia Qingyue''s heart softened.


    "But it''s only 369 sets. It''s nothing to be proud of." Yu Long scolded Xia Yuanba. "I can do one thousand sets with less time."


    "Eh..." Xia Yuanba was speechless.


    But we are different.


    You''re a monster. I''m not!


    For three months, Xia Yuanba trained under Yu Long, and he discovered that ''Big Bro'' of his was a literal freak. How could such a lean body pack an immense strength?


    They fought several times, and Yu Long wiped Xia Yuanba to the ground without moving much. One move and Xia Yuanba would always find himself kissing the courtyard''s floor.


    Xia Yuanba might have more muscles, but that''s it.


    If Yu Long didn''t help Xia Yuanba with a concentrated training n, he''d get confined by his muscr build. Such a mass couldn''t move fast enough to react against an iing attack.


    Xia Yuanba''s goal for the next six months is to train the lightness of his step and control his weight.


    A bird arrived at the Xia Manor and arrived at the courtyard.


    "Hmm?" Yu Long recognized the bird and lifted his right arm, allowing it tond.


    "Woah, so cool!" Xia Yuanba''s eyes sparkled.


    "Courier Bird?" Xia Qingyue was also curious, seeing a small container on the bird''s leg.


    "Yeah, it''s Yu n''s courier bird." Yu Long nodded calmly.


    He opened the small container and took the letter stored inside. After reading the content for a bit, a frown appeared on Yu Long''s face.


    "Haa..." Yu Long heaved a sigh, feeling somewhat murderous inside.


    Xia Qingyue noticed the change in Yu Long''s mood. She opened her mouth and asked, "What happened, Yu Long?"


    "Sorry, Qingyue, Yuanba. I can''t stay at the Floating Cloud City for too long." Yu Long bitterly smiled. "I just got a letter from my father."


    "There is a problem in the Drifting River City."


    "Problem..." Xia Qingyue whispered solemnly.


    She could only guess, but from Yu Long''s sudden change of mood, it couldn''t be something light.


    "Can I go with you?" Xia Qingyue hopefully requested.


    Yu Long shook his head, "Unfortunately, no."


    "The situation doesn''t allow me to bring you there."


    "Maybe in a week or two... I''ll send you a carriage." He added with a slight smirk.


    "A week or two? Okay. Qingyue, understand!" The girl nodded, not forcing Yu Long to bring her along.


    "Meanwhile, I was away, don''t ck around. Especially Yuanba!" Yu Long sternly stared at the younger Xia.


    "I won''t!" Xia Yuanba responded with a salute.


    "As for you, Qingyue." Yu Long trailed his eyes back to the heroine. "I left behind a book in my bedroom. To be precise, under my pillow."


    "You can read it and decide your path yourself."


    "Well, I can''t say farewell to Uncle Hongyi. Say my thanks to him." Yu Long turned and waved his hand.


    "See you too soon."


    Yu Long''s voice echoed as his figure disappeared from their vision.


    Xia Yuanba rubbed his eyes, "Wow, magic..."


    Xia Qingyue clenched her hand inside the sleeve and thought she was too weak to help Yu Long. She closed her eyes, "The book."


    She hurriedly went to Yu Long''s room in the manor and found a book under his pillow.


    She took a deep breath and lifted the first page of the titleless book, making her eyes widen in shock.


    "T-This is..."


    "How to Cultivate, First Part?"


    ...


    Outside of the Floating Cloud City.


    Lily and Hong Guannded on the mountaintop, seeing their young master standing and facing the direction of Drifting River City.


    "We have an emergency." Yu Long said indifferently.


    "Just a moment ago, Father sent me a letter."


    "Sixty out of seventy-four caravans under Yu n were attacked by profound practitioners."


    "The estimated loss of ie is 40% because we didn''t meet this month''s deal. It was a targeted move without a doubt."


    "Those rats finally decided to move on our grains." Yu Long snorted in disgust. "I left them alone for three years, allowing them to stand away with bread crumbs and be silent spectators."


    "Aah, human greed at its finest."


    "...What should we do, young master?" Hong Guan uttered in determination.


    "Yes, yes!" Lily is full of fighting spirit.


    Yu Long chuckled coldly, "What should we do?"


    "We make them learn not to mess with my things!"

 Chapter 21: Foolish Older Brothers

    Chapter 21: Foolish Older Brothers


    Hello There, it''s been twenty-one chapters.


    Does the story progress too slowly? Give me your thoughts on it.


    Also, give this story more power stones!


    --- Chapter 20 ---


    In a vast sky, a great bird with brownish-red feathers and a wingspan over seven meters flew above the clouds. A purple-clothed youth and two green-clothed women sat on the back of the winged beast, overseeing thend below.


    "Young master, you are actually able to subdue a peak Earth Profound Realm Beast," Lilymented while patting the somewhat rough yet warm feather under her. "How did you do it?"


    "Yeah, I''m also curious." Hong Guan added calmly.


    After receiving bloodlines from Yu Long and awakening profound aspects, the maids feel their young master bes more unreadable. They would gloss it over in the past because a child''s mind works differently than an adult''s.


    However, Yu Long has started a step toward adulthood now. His talent grew into an unknown territory they couldn''t understand."It''s just one of my expertise." Yu Long waved his hand casually.


    "You''ll know about the truth sooner orter."


    "But for now, I want you two to trust mepletely."


    "I trust you with everything, young master." Hong Guan let out a beautiful smile.


    The current Hong Guan is different than she was three months ago. Her ck hair has gained a shade of red, turning auburn due to [Yin Dragon''s Bloodline]. And yeah, Her eyes also be greener, thanks to [de Dragon''s Bloodline].


    Still, Hong Guan''s facial features and body changed the mostpared to those traits. Hong Guan''s face became more alluring with a touch of healthy redness on those luscious lips, and coupled with her hourss figure, she could turn an empire upside down.


    On the other hand, Lily is bing brighter than ever. Her ck hair became silky smooth with faint radiance. Those brown eyes also gained a touch of sun, giving off a warm feeling.


    In the past, Lily''s appearance was nothing special. However, using Heart Opening Liquid and Yu Long''s training method cleanses impurities out of her body.


    Her body might not be as ''sexy'' as Hong Guan''s, but the innocence it gave makes one''s heart flutter. [Yang Dragon''s Bloodline] and [Grass Dragon''s Bloodline] transformed Lily into an amiabledy.


    "Mm, me too, me too~!" Lily giggled happily. She has watched her young master grow from baby until this very moment. Of course, she trusted him with everything.


    Yu Long smiled inside, thinking how nice it was to have reliable people on his side.


    He contacted Yume in the Inner World and praised the butterfly, ''Good job.''


    ''It seems your Psychic Force is not just for show.''


    ''Of course, my lord,'' Yume responded somewhat arrogantly. Since she was ''recently'' created, she''d definitely do her best to gain more points from her creator.


    Controlling a mere peak Earth Profound Realm Beast who hasn''t formed its human-like intelligence is nothing to Yume. She only has to use [Dream Eater] to devour its consciousness and order it around with [Telepathy].


    She could even control Sky Profound Realm Beast, but it would need more effort and energy. Not to mention, her purpose was more than turning profound beasts into mindless puppets.


    The great bird let out a cry and descended from the high altitude.


    Yu Long activated his enhanced sight and watched the appearance of the Drifting Cloud Mountain Range. His [Profound Sense] spread over and mapped every possible route for an outsider to enter Drifting River City''s territory.


    ''Master, let me do it,'' Yume said calmly. ''Using your mental energy on such an uplicated act is a waste.''


    ''My Psychic Force will map the area faster.''


    A wry smile appeared on Yu Long''s face at how convenient it was to have more kaiju. First, Woby took over his Heart Opening Liquid''s making routine, and then Yume coveted the scouting chance.


    Well, he could only feel happy about this.


    ''Done, I''ll transfer the information.'' Yume finished scouting and sent the relevant information to Yu Long''s head. Since they were connected, it was a smooth transfer.


    "On the south of the mountain range, a path is ''actually'' connected to the open road." Yu Long closed his eyes for a few seconds, digesting the information. "And it led to an open road?"


    "If I wasn''t wrong, that open road should have the route used to reach Wind de Sect." He rubbed his chin. "The reason behind caravans'' destruction wasn''t as simple as I thought."


    "In the first ce, since when did those greedy business owners dare to touch the Yu n?" Hong Guan suddenly raised a point. "Young master, you taught us that an act is ''most of the time.'' built on confidence."


    "Without confidence, those greedy business owners won''t do this. They didn''t know our true power, so they believed a full-blown attack would lead to mutual destruction."


    "Unless they have someone supporting them from the shadows." Lily chimed in.


    "You two are smart." Yu Long praised them,ughing in satisfaction.


    Lily blushed, "Young master, you probably thought about this already."


    "Yes, we merely voiced our opinion." Hong Guan hugged Lily.


    Yu Long shook his head, "No, you two pretty much solved the case."


    "Except thest part."


    "It''s not someone, but a sect."


    "Wind de Sect and Cloud Palm Sect near our city have been eyeing our resources for years. They wanted a bite of our pie without any hard work."


    "The problem is... We are in a deadlock, or so they thought. So, they coborated with other business owners and reaped the benefits."


    "Even in the cultivation world, politics still exist." Yu Long sighed helplessly.


    "At least I could punish them more easily here."


    The great bird descended even more, reaching the forest near the Drifting River City. Several people in dark suits approached the beast, showing deep killing intent.


    "Stand back, this is my pet." Yu Long''s voice echoed, making the people in dark suits bow.


    "Wee back, Lord Shadow." They greeted him simultaneously.


    The corner of Yu Long''s mouth twitched because ''Lord Shadow.'' induced a cringeness into his bloodstream. He hated how they called him this title, but he couldn''t change it either.


    Influenced by his past life''s junior high syndrome, Yu Long formed an organization and named it [Shadow Realm]. He recruited orphans or someone with nothing to rely on, training them into his loyalists.


    Currently, [Shadow Realm] has over one hundred thousand members, and they are spread all over Blue Wind Empire. Even the neighboring empire has them.


    It shows just how devastating this world was. Weak people at the bottom of the food chain were ''literally.'' destined to die sooner orter, but Yu Long took them, knowing he could change them into something else.


    It''s hard to believe a boy initiated this organization three years ago, but Yu Long did it slowly. The number of members gained explosive results from ten thousand to one hundred thousand in its third year after a small kingdom fought a bitter war against a first-rate sect in the other empire.


    After dismissing the shadow agents, Yu Long and his maids walked to the Yu n leisurely.


    Upon entering the front gate, a familiar voice was ''immediately'' heard.


    "Fourth Brother?"


    "Fourth Brother, you have returned!"


    A chubby young man entered Yu Long''s field of vision. His bright yellow robe and red sash never change, making Yu Longugh a little.


    After three years, Yu Long''s second brother has grown bigger but doesn''t mistake his chubbiness for fat. Under that bright yellow robe is nothing but fierce muscles.


    Yu Gong is now fifteen. And slightly taller than Yu Long.


    "Yes." Yu Long answered calmly.


    "I heard we have a crisis, so I returned from my journey."


    "Good. Father''s mood is worse than ever these days." Yu Gong put on a defeated look. "Eldest Brother just recently got engaged to ady from Zhu n."


    "They met three months ago and fell in love with each other."


    "And the Zhu n also demanded a huge dowry."


    "Oh, what kind of dowry?" Yu Long tilted his head.


    Yu Gong sucked a cold breath and replied, "23% of our annual ie..."


    "..." Yu Long.


    Bruh, why didn''t they rob the royal family instead?


    23% is over a fifth of Yu n''s ie, which could lead to the dysfunction of several businesses. They asked for too much.


    "And there is more..." Yu Gong scratched his cheek.


    "There is more?" Yu Long raised his eyebrows.


    "Haha..." Yu Gongughed awkwardly. "You know that the Third Brother recently awakened his profound veins, right? He had 12 profound entrances open, making him quite a talent."


    "Cloud Palm Sect recruited Third Brother as their disciple and demanded half of our annual ie as payment for his enrollment."


    "But the Third Brother begged Father, believing the sect will train him into a core disciple."


    "This is definitely a scam." Yu Gong put on a solemn expression.


    Oh, you thought!!


    "..." Yu Long.


    "..." Lily.


    "..." Hong Guan.


    "Oh my fucking god, I know they are idiots, but not this IDIOTS!" Yu Long shouted at the sky.

    Several hourster.


    Yu n, Moon Gazing Room.


    Yu Long sat on a well-crafted wooden long chair beside his father and stared at the starry sky, giving him a rxing feeling.


    "It must have been hard for you these days, father." Yu Longmented casually, leaning on the chair.


    Yu Zhan sighed, "Yeah."


    "Why don''t you grow faster, have a wife, and take over the Yu n''s business from me." He smirked at his youngest son. "Even though I''m still considered young and full of vigor, I don''t mind retiring early."


    "Did you hear yourself there?" Yu Long rolled his eyes in disbelief.


    Yu Zhan chuckled and returned calmly, "Haha, Of course. Out of my four children, you''re the wisest, the most rational, and the most suitable to carry out Yu n''s future."


    "Your eldest brother is a horny dog who only thinks with his third leg."


    "Your second brother is a glutton, but at least he won''t harm anyone because of it."


    "Your third brother is a fool who''s more blind than someone with no eyes..."


    "Only you, my youngest son, show the qualification of a leader." He rubbed Yu Long''s head roughly, messing with his hair.


    "I''m ten, what do you expect..." Yu Long grumbled.


    "At a young age, I already noticed your weirdness. You didn''t cry as much as other kids. Even when you wanted to pee, you''d cry to call Yu Xin, Lily, or other maids first." Ignoring Yu Long''s annoyance, Yu Zhan kept talking.


    "When your brothers were busy ying around, indulging in our n''s wealth. You nned several steps further and began your study."


    "Martial arts, Medicine, business..." Yu Zhan closed his eyes. "You might hide it, but I know the servants around your mother and me are profound practitioners."


    "They did well covering their movement, but I have met several experts throughout my career. I noticed that the servant''s breathing and steps are stronger than ordinary people."


    Yu Zhan opened his eyes slowly and gazed into his youngest son''s golden eyes, "In the past, when you desired to take over some business and open new ones, You didn''t reveal everything to me, didn''t you?"


    "You only revealed a part of it to make me agree..."


    "Well, something like that." Yu Long answered calmly.


    Yu Zhanughed helplessly and shook his head gently, "What did I do to deserve such a son..."


    Yu Zhan wasn''t a samaritan. He knew the bad and good things of this horrible world.


    When he took over Yu n years ago and sired four children with four different wives, Yu Zhan knew his responsibility over them would be heavier.


    Yu Zhan had to gain more money, power, and influence to make them live well. Maybe Yu Zhan was too doting because three of his four sons grew up very ipetent.


    And to be fair, he''s always spent time growing his business. So, his children''s education fell to their mother.


    ''As expected, Yu Xin is the best.'' Yu Zhan didn''t want to y favorites when it came to his wives, as he loved them equally, but his fourth wife was from a humble background, which shaped her character.


    He recalled meeting her in a small city at the border of the Divine Phoenix Empire years ago. She was a charmingdy, growing up under the care of two incredible parents.


    And it seems that care passed down to their son, Yu Long.


    That''s why he didn''t pry more into Yu Long''s secret. He trusted his youngest son''s decision.


    "Uh, stop staring at me like that. Have you gone senile, Father?" Yu Longmented indifferently.


    Yu Zhanughed even more, "Hahaha... Your brat, I''m still young enough to give you younger siblings!"


    "..." Yu Long.


    Yu Zhan waved his hand and changed the topic, "I heard you were doing good in the Floating Cloud City."


    "Even bing close friends with Hongyi''s daughter and son. I bet that girl is a beautiful one, isn''t she?"


    "Thank god, my antisocial son finally has a friend too!" He added with a gratification.


    "Tsk, Qingyue, and I are just study mates..." Yu Long answered sternly.


    "You even called her by the given name, hehe~!" Yu Zhan teased his son even more. "If this goes well, we might call Hongyi for an engagement n."


    "Whatever, I''m going to sleep!" Yu Long stood up and walked out of the moon-gazing room.


    "And don''t worry about my foolish older brothers." His voice echoed in the room shortly after. "I''ll handle it."


    After hearing this, Yu Zhan chuckled and gazed at the starry night. One golden star outshone the others and even the moon tonight, bing the main character in his field of vision.


    "Yu Long, my son. I never joke about thest part." Yu Zhan said with a grin. After this, he has to talk about it with his fourth wife, as she must be happy knowing a girl was close to Yu Long.


    ...


    The next morning.


    Yu Long woke up like usual.


    However, he immediately felt thefortable, familiar bed. He rolled around and took a deep breath, "Ah, as expected of my bed, you''re the best in the world." He patted the tailor-made bed with the highest quality material he could find.


    What can he say?


    Quality sleep gives Yu Long more energy.


    Tidying the bed cover, Yu Long stretched his muscles and summoned his kaiju.


    Woby and Yume appeared from thin air, staring at their maker.


    "Here, your sustenance." Yu Long handed them an essence sphere each.


    "Nyuu!" The slime excitedly devoured the sphere.


    "Thank you, my lord." Yume controlled the essence sphere with psychic power and brought it to her mouth.


    "It''s nothing. You two are my biggest support." Yu Long returned casually.


    He ordered the kaiju to enter the Inner World again as he walked out of the bedroom and enjoyed the fresh morning air.


    The sun has yet to rise.


    "Agent, report." Yu Long opened his mouth.


    A man in a ck suit appeared and kneeled, "Yes, Lord Shadow!"


    "When you were away, the Shadow Realm discovered that business ns coborated with sects near the Drifting Cloud Mountain Range."


    "However, just recently, they started moving."


    "As I thought, huh?" Yu Long leaned on the wall.


    "Have you done an in-depth investigation?"


    "Yes." The man in a ck suit nodded. "Some agents have infiltrated the business ns and rted sects. They would give us information in two hours."


    "Two hours... Not bad, but keep Shadow Realm''s sights on the Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Fortress. They couldn''t possibly only watch from the sidelines." Yu Long added, given how that sect acts most of the time.


    "I''ll follow your order!" The man in a ck suit responded with a determined tone.


    "Go." Yu Long blinked, and the man in a ck suit disappeared.


    The Shadow Realm currently cultivated a passive version of the [Arts of Ghost] and [Arts of Reaper] that Yu Long created suitable for information gathering and assassination.


    Unfortunately, the Shadow Realm didn''t have any Sky Profound Realm Experts, as their most relevant hitter are Hong Guan, Lily, and eleven other Earth Profound Realm Shadow Agents.


    Before Yu Long created Woby and made an enhanced version of Heart Opening Liquid, their training resources were ''really'' limited with so many members they had.


    Even then, Yu Long created Shadow Realm not for a frontal fight.


    It''s good enough for now.


    Thinking about it, Shadow Realm will experience a tremendous chance soon.


    After all, Yu Long''s research on profound patterns, aspects, and incarnations has borne results.


    Yu Long went to the hill and cultivated [Arts of Violet Mist], dragging misty qi from the rising sun. Yang''s energy rejuvenated his bone marrow and supplied him with more stamina.


    Lily walked from behind, watching her young master blow a beautiful purple mist from his mouth.


    She waited a few minutes and said, "Young master, Madam is calling you for breakfast."


    "And um... She was quite annoyed that you didn''t visit her immediately yesterday."


    A weak smile formed on Yu Long''s face as he replied, "Okay."


    They went to the courtyard where Yu Long''s mother lived and saw the madam sitting in a pavilion.


    Yu Xin gazed at her son and smiled, "Come here."


    "We have many things to talk about."


    Yu Long shrugged and sat on a seat near his mother, noticing dishes were ''actually'' set in an orderly manner on the stone table. Oh no, he didn''t feel good about this.


    Yu Xin poured warm tea for her son and herself.


    As Yu Long sipped his tea, Yu Xin opened her mouth and said, "I heard you are close with Mr. Hongyi''s daughter."


    "Her name is Xia Qingyue, isn''t it?"


    "Why don''t you tell your mother about this Qingyue girl?" She shed a smile at him.


    Cough! Cough!


    "..." Yu Long choked on his tea.


    Father, you traitor!

 Chapter 23: Same Body, but Different Head

    Chapter 23: Same Body, but Different Head


    Want more chapters?


    Give this story your power stones!


    --- Chapter 22 ---


    After a long, chatty breakfast, Yu Long hurried to the underground facility and waited for the ''Shadow Agents'' toe with information.


    Some asked why the ''Lord Shadow.'' looked vexed, but he answered them without much emotion. <em>Private matters and work are different things, so stay professional.</em>


    Hong Guan and Lily arrived at the underground facility because they would participate in the mission.


    They are so close to a breakthrough, with Hong Guan being near to reaching the 1st Level of Sky Profound Realm.


    The first ever Sky Profound Realm in the ''Shadow Realm'' will be recorded in their organization''s history.


    In the Shadow Realm, there are five positions. The Lord of Shadow is their ultimate leader, the savior at their darkest moment.


    Below that leading position are Shadow''s Brides, battle maids personally trained by Lord Shadow since the beginning of the organization. And yes, all of them are female, and there are only two members of Shadow''s Brides so far, Hong Guan and Lily.


    The third position will be Shadow''s Phantom. They are ''elites'' of elites and the earliest members of the Shadow Realm, gaining Lord Shadow''s direct blessing and teachings. They also recently entered the Earth Profound Realm.


    The fourth is Shadow''s Walker. They are the second and third wave of Shadow Realm''s members from two years ago and are ''now'' led by the Shadow''s Phantoms. Shadow''s Walker strength is around True Profound Realm or the early level of Spirit Profound Realm.


    The fifth is Shadow''s Apprentice. They are new members with no skills or merely started their training.


    Besides physical and mental training, Shadow Agents must pass a ''quality test.'' before raising their ranks. Their loyalty to the organization mustn''t falter.


    Although there are all these ranks in the Shadow Realm. Under Lord Shadow(Yu Long), they are Shadow Agents for him tomand.


    Yu Long provided their living and nearly everything, after all. He didn''t restrict them much, so they could live ''normally'' when not doing missions or training. Most members live in the Drifting River City and work as Yu n''s servants.


    Meaning the caravans attacked by those business owners were run by Shadow Walkers.


    However, if any of them show acts of defection, they will face heavy consequences, torture, and ultimately death.


    ...


    After a while, some Shadow Agents finally arrived at the underground facility. They are surprised to see Yu Long sitting on the usually empty seat and bowing to him immediately.


    "We greet Lord Shadow!" A hint of deep faith sounded when they greeted him in one breath.


    Yu Long waved his hand casually, "Okay, get up."


    "Tell me the situation on your side."


    One agent stepped forward and opened her mouth, "We have confirmed the wrongdoers behind the caravans'' attack."


    "Oh?" Yu Long narrowed his eyes.


    "They are the thirteen business ns led by the Zhu n. And behind them are the Wind de Sect and Cloud Palm Sect."


    "We also traced a sign of the Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Fortress''s Elder who instigated this act."


    "And that person is the 4th Elder of the fortress. Mu Lei."


    "As for the reason why Mu Lei instigated this... He wanted to take over the resources in the Drifting Cloud Mountain Range due to his greed, which included Yu n''s business as it was the most noteworthy."


    "Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Fortress..." Hong Guan said indifferently. Her eyes shed with deep killing intent, making the Shadow Agents tremble slightly.


    Yu Long patted Hong Guan''s back and eased the killing intent, "Good work, get yourself enhanced Heart Opening Liquid from the resource point."


    "Thank you, Lord Shadow!" The agents'' eyes lit up. They only have heard a rumor of it, but to think their leader will bestow the enhanced Heart Opening Liquid, who wouldn''t be touched?


    Unknown to them, Yu Long has lots of enhanced Heart Opening Liquid in his spatial ring.


    As they left the room, Yu Long nced at Hong Guan andmented, "It seems you''ll be getting your appetizer for Teacher Hong''s death soon."


    "Yes..." Hong Guan heaved a sigh, clenching her hand tightly.


    Yu Long noticed [Dragons'' Aspects] inside Hong Guan''s body gets riled up, making him curious if one''s intense emotion could trigger more potential of his self-made bloodline.


    It''s an interesting topic to tackle.


    Yu Long shook his head gently and said, "Lily, summon the Shadow Phantom Troupe."


    "We are going to the Zhu n in one hour."


    "Yes, young master." Lily nodded and vanished from her spot. Unlike her usual brightness, Lily is currently very passive.


    Soon, eleven Earth Profound Realm Shadow Phantoms arrived at the underground facility. The youngest is not even eighteen, while the oldest is no older than thirty.


    "We have a mission. Today, we will strike the instigators behind the caravans'' attack. Our fellow Shadow''s lives won''t fall without paying back!"


    "The blood is bound to be spilled..."


    "Let''s march!" Yu Long covered himself in a gray coat and disappeared.


    "Yes, Lord Shadow!" Hong Guan, Lily, and eleven Shadow Phantoms followed Yu Long.


    ...


    Blue North County, Zhu n.


    The Zhu n''s head is sitting in his study room. He couldn''t help but smile when thinking of getting Yu n''s assets after engaging his illiterate daughter with Yu n''s eldest son.


    Unfortunately, he couldn''t get everything, but a piece of pie was all he needed to make the Zhu n prosper.


    "I, Zhu Kong, anticipated the Yu n''s inevitable-!" The n''s head sipped a fine wine.


    "Nice room you have here..." Someone''s voice suddenly brushed Zhu Kong''s ears.


    "Who is there!" Zhu Kong turned around and was ''instantly'' greeted by a sword on the throat.


    Zhu Kong froze on the spot and saw a young man with golden eyes. He wore a gray coat and ck pants, hiding his physical features.


    "Sit." Yu Long said casually.


    Zhu Kong slowly sat back on his chair, "W-Who are you?"


    "Oh, you didn''t recognize me? I thought you targeted my n. Hmm, it seems your connection and information gathering are poor." Yu Long chuckled slightly.


    "Well, my name is Yu Long. Nice to meet you, you oxygen waster."


    Zhu Kong''s body trembled as he finally put the pieces together. "Y-You''re Yu Zhan''s fourth son..."


    "Ding, dong. Correct, nice guess." Yu Long waved his finger yfully.


    "Ha!" Zhu Kong immediatelyshed out. "So, you''reing here because I want to seize your n''s business?"


    "Let me tell you, killing me here would cause a lot of trouble for your father... No, even your Yu n will get destroyed!"


    "Is it because you have Wind de Sect and Cloud Palm Sect supporting your back?" Yu Long shed a grin to him. "Don''t worry, they''ll get their turn soon."


    "I''m just making a roll call here."


    "Roll call?" Zhu Kong felt dread in the atmosphere.


    Yu Long nodded, "Yup, a roll call."


    "For example..."


    "One."


    Zhu Kong''s eyes widened as a woman in a ck suit appeared and threw a round object near his feet.


    He stiffly looked down and saw the head of his business friend.


    "Two."


    Another one rolled to his feet.


    "Three."


    "Four, no eyes?"


    "Five."


    "Six..."


    "Seven."


    "Eight. Uuh, bad teeth."


    "Nine."


    "Ten, this one has a huge hole on the front forehead."


    "Eleven, this one lost his jaws."


    "And... Twelve."


    Thest head rolled like a ball and bounced on Zhu Kong''s pants.


    The room soon filled with a bloody scent.


    Zhu Kong''s face is as pale as paper now. Cold sweats are running like no tomorrow all over his body.


    "P-P-Please, young master..."


    "Young Master Yu, please spare my life!"


    "I''ll tell you the truth. I''ll tell you everything!"


    "Of course, you will tell me everything. But not in this form." Yu Long shrugged and used Yume''s [Dream Eater].


    "Arrrrghhhhhh!!!" Zhu Kong fell on the bloody puddle. He screamed painfully as if Yu Long had torn his body apart.


    After gruesome mental torture, Yu Long told Shadow Agents to clean the scene. As they disappeared, Yu Long turned Zhu Kong into an essence sphere while he was still alive and devoured him.


    Disgusting memory flowed into Yu Long''s head and made him spit on the floor.


    "This guy is no good." He indifferently wiped his mouth.


    "At least we are getting our next targets."


    Yu Long summoned Woby andmanded the slime to clean everything in this room. He leisurely opened a locked safe and stored Zhu n''s mary bank notes.


    He nced down, seeing a garden from the highest room of Zhu n''s Mansion. He could see a familiar-looking young man and a nice-looking girl sitting on a bench,ughing harmoniously.


    The young man is around 175 centimeters tall. He has a lean and toned physique. Wearing a fashionable green robe, the young man has short ck hair, brownish-yellow eyes, and a somewhat handsome face that matches his attire.


    This young man is Yu Long''s eldest brother, Yu Kai.


    "You better live more modestly after this, eldest brother." Yu Longmented while leaning on the window.


    "We have killed the heads of business ns." Hong Guan appeared beside him. "Isn''t this attracting attention, young master?"


    "Not really..." Yu Long closed his eyes.


    "We can just rece the heads. And there would be no suspicion."


    "...To be fair, we should do this earlier."


    "Well, I can''t cry over spilled milk." He shook his head bitterly.


    "<em>Same body, but different head</em>... Then, Who''s our next target?" Hong Guan asked after understanding Yu Long''s way of thinking.


    "Wind de Sect."

 Chapter 24: Fools, Awakening a Sleeping Beast

    Chapter 24: Fools, Awakening a Sleeping Beast


    --- Chapter 23 ---


    Three hourster.


    After the heads of business ns were eliminated and reced.


    Wind de Sect.


    Within the pavilion of an ancient-looking pce, two men toasted their cups of wine.


    The first man is short and bald but has a stylish goatee. He wore a yellow martial robe and matching pants, exuding the pressure of Sky Profound Realm expert.


    On the other hand, the second man is tall and muscr. He has medium-length brown hair but no facial hair. He wore an open-chested blue robe and ck pants. Just like the first man, he has the presence of a Sky Profound Realm expert.


    These two are the sect leaders of the Cloud Palm Sect and Wind de Sect, respectively. Yan Mu and Jiang Gu.


    "Brother Mu, enjoy the wine. Soon, we will get the Profound Breaking Pill from Elder Mu Lei and enter a higher realm after many years." The Wind de Sect''s Leader, Jiang Gu,ughed."Hehehe, Toast!"


    The Cloud Palm Sect''s Leader, Yan Mu, chuckled and drank the wine in one motion.


    They are having a great time in their lives.


    "Still, Yu n has grown so big in just three years..." Jiang Gu greedily said. "Anyone who isn''t a fool could see something wasn''t right."


    "Yes, but your Wind de Sect is doing things messily." Yan Mumented casually.


    "Oh, what do you mean by that?"


    Yan Mu snorted, "Do you think I didn''t know you supported the Zhu n from the shadows, even using your elders to attack Yu n''s caravans."


    "My sect, on the other hand, did this more cleanly. We are asking for ''enrollment money'' for Yu n''s third young master."


    "Pfft, shameless bastard." Jiang Gu mmed his table in disbelief.


    "Isn''t that basically the same thing?"


    "Hehe, of course not." Yan Mu shook his head gently. "Although we confirmed that Yu n didn''t make a significant connection in the Blue Wind Empire, I don''t want to erase my suspicion easily."


    "Such a n usually has protection from the super faction."


    "I merely covered my steps."


    "Tsk, what kind of super faction could the Yu n have? The Patriarch Yu Zhan is a normal fellow with no profound strength, and his range of connection is limited." Jiang Gu criticized, not believing his friend.


    "You''re just being overcautious."


    "Can I have this?" Someone suddenly asked, startling them.


    "Huh?" 2x.


    Jiang Gu and Yan Mu stepped back in a hurry, releasing their cultivation base to attack at any moment.


    They blinked and saw a gray-clothed youth leaning on the wall, pouring wine into a new cup.


    The youth sipped the wine andmented, "Uugh, so bitter."


    "My pte is still young..."


    He nced at them and smiled, "Oh, hello there. Nice afternoon, isn''t it?"


    "W-Who are you?" Yan Mu questioned with a frown. This kid actually could enter their personal space without them noticing.


    This youth isn''t simple.


    Yu Long ced the cup of wine down and replied, "Hmm... How should I answer this."


    "Oh, right. I''m a passerby who just happened to take fancy to your little establishment. Would you believe that?"


    Hearing ''little establishment'' from Yu Long''s mouth, Yan Mu''s mouth twitched in disbelief.


    Who will believe such words?


    And it sessfully irked Jiang Gu beside Yan Mu.


    "Kid, stop joking around..."


    "Just tell us your identity." Jiang Gu indifferently said, almost in amanding tone.


    "Haha~! Are you perhaps afraid that I was from a super duper background and will apologize by kowtowing to meter if it is right? Aih, Cultivation World with its ''bully the weak and fear the strong'' attitude." Yu Long mocked them in annoyance.


    "Whatever, I''ming here to settle a few things."


    He pointed his finger at Yan Mu, "You, are you the one who scammed my third brother?"


    "Your face looks like a scammer."


    "Third brother..." Yan Mu squinted his eyes. He recalled that the Yu n has four young masters. And the youngest one has gone outside for over three months.


    Looking at Yu Long''s facial features, he did resemble the Yu n''s Patriarch.


    "Yu Zhan''s 4th Son. Yu Long, you''re only ten, I believe..."


    ''So, how in hell did he sneak under our nose!'' Yan Mu''s critical mind was rmed.


    Fuck, something isn''t right.


    However, unlike Yan Mu, Jiang Gu isn''t very patient.


    "Hmph, just a little brat from a backwater background." Jiang Gu summoned a sword and stepped forward. "Killing you will settle everything!"


    "Brother Gu, don''t-!" Yan Mu shouted. Still, Jiang Gu already swung his sword without profound skills, causing a whistling noise in the surroundings.


    Swoosh!


    The sword shed through the air but awkwardly stopped just when it was about to touch Yu Long''s hair.


    "What?!"


    "Why can''t my de move..." Jiang Gu flexed his arm''s muscles. Still, the sword couldn''t move an inch.


    Yu Long poked the sword casually, "As expected."


    ''They couldn''t see my profound incarnation.''


    A muscr figure currently pinched Jiang Gu''s sword, stopping it from reaching Yu Long.


    Just like Stand, profound incarnations are ethereal images. It exists in a different space.


    Only a person like Xia Qingyue with Heart of Snow zed ss could see profound incarnations.


    Nevertheless, this doesn''t confirm that cultivators from the Upper Realm couldn''t see profound incarnations because they developed Divine Sense after transcending the Mortal Realm.


    "Melt..." Yu Longmanded indifferently.


    The profound incarnation gathered heat inside its finger and transferred it into a sword.


    And yes, we are talking about heating from the ''initial level'' of Fire Law. It''s not something Quasi Sky Profound Weapon could handle.


    Jiang Gu''s sword started melting like ice cream, dropping to the wooden floor.


    He released the sword''s handle and hissed because the heat reached his hand. "Kuugh, what did you do?" Wearing a painful expression, Jiang Gu held his hand in horror.


    "Oh, just a normal appliance of radiation." Yu Long shrugged like it was the most normal thing ever. "Nothing special."


    "But your sensitivity sure is poor." He narrowed his eyes on Jiang Gu.


    "This is what happens when one thinks profound entrances are everything."


    "Jiang Gu, use everything you have!" Yan Mu shouted in panic.


    "He must have used a secret technique to stop your attack. Don''t be lured into his trap!"


    "You''re right." Jiang Gu huffed.


    Another sword appeared in Jiang Gu because this time, he''d use Wind de Sect''s final technique immediately.


    "Wind de Storm!"


    "Haa... You''re talking too much." Yu Long scoffed at the fool.


    The profound incarnation listened to Yu Long''s order and moved like a sh, punching a hole in Jiang Gu''s chest. A charred hole appeared, smelling like burnt meat.


    "Y-You..." Jiang Gu''s eyes widened as he dropped dead to the floor.


    "What a disappointment." Yu Long emotionlessly stared at the corpse beneath him.


    "!!!" Yan Mu stepped back and ran as if his life depended on it.


    Run!


    RUN!!


    FUCKING RUN!!!


    Yan Mu had never seen such a monster before.


    That kid isn''t human!


    That''s not the gaze of a human!


    How unfortunate of Yan Mu. It was toote.


    BAM!


    Yan Mu felt a smack on his chest and coughed a mouthful of blood. He fell to the ground heavily with a handful of dirt inside his mouth.


    An invisible force lifted Yan Mu by the neck, paralyzing his body as if death justnded its hand on him.


    Yan Mu slowly hovered back to Yu Long, seeing the golden-eyed monster sit and enjoy the wind.


    "You know, I have no n of exposing my power this early..."


    "But you guys force me to do this."


    "If only you''re doing your job as dogs and watch from the sidelines." Yu Long indifferently rubbed his forehead.


    Staring into Yan Mu''s terrified eyes, Yu Long didn''t say much, but the Cloud Palm Sect''s Leader understood what he meant.


    ''W-We are such fools... We actually awakened a sleeping beast!'' Yan Mu thought before getting his neck snapped.


    "Sky Profound Realm."


    "They are like twigs." Yu Long closed his eyes.


    Hong Guan, Lily, and eleven Shadow Phantoms appeared shortly after.


    "Young master, we have wiped important people in the Wind de Sect and Cloud Palm Sect," Lily quickly reported. "We also have assigned recements from the Shadow Realm."


    "Mm, good job." Yu Long nodded slightly. "For now, stabilize the situation."


    "I''ll send a letter to the Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Fortress to lure the bastard who touched my things..."


    "We understand, Lord Shadow!" The eleven Shadow Phantoms answered and disappeared from the yard.


    Hong Guan stared at the two corpses beside Yu Long and mumbled, "Sky Profound Realm."


    "So, this is the power of profound incarnation."


    "Yes." Yu Long smiled at her. "And you might awaken it soon, Sister Guan."


    "What do you think?"


    "Do you want to fight Mu Lei by yourself?"


    "YES! LET ME DO IT!" Hong Guan replied without hesitation.

 Chapter 25: The Dragoness

    Chapter 25: The Dragoness


    --- Chapter 24 ---


    Wind de Sect.


    Yu Longy on top of the pavilion, digesting the essence spheres of the Sect Leaders he killed a moment ago. Their memories flowed into his head, which is more disgusting than Zhu n''s head.


    Not many people know, but Zhu n''s head is a disgusting pervert. Zhu Kong trafficked young maidens in the southern part of the Blue Wind Empire, locking them in the Zhu n''s basement for months before giving them a scarce chance to live.


    Although Yu Long has cleaned the mess by giving these broken maidens a new home to recover, the trauma won''t disappear soon.


    On the other hand, these two sect leaders are more disgusting as they actually caused famine and destroyed countless innocent viges.


    Andstly, they also touched kids. They were the lowest humans can be.


    <strong>Wind de Art (B) Acquired</strong>


    <strong>de Wielding (C) Acquired</strong><strong>Cloud Palm Art (B) Acquired</strong>


    <strong>Basics of Arrays (A) Acquired</strong>


    ''At least they give some useful skills.'' Yu Long closed his eyes and digested the skills.


    Yu Long created a de with his bone and waved it ording to the devoured memory. A sharp energy punctured the air and caused a tear over fifteen meters long.


    He didn''t stop there as he waved his palm away, creating an invisible wave of force. The terrifying force blew the air away.


    The profound arts and skills are good, but Yu Long is more interested in thest ability.


    Basic of Arrays!


    It contained information about how to form formation through arrays, their usage, and applications. Although it wasn''t extensive knowledge, Yu Long is confident in developing it.


    In his past life, Yu Long had many skills.


    Programming is one of them.


    As long as Yu Long understood the Basics of Arrays, he could interpret them in his own codingnguage.


    It would be time-consuming but worth it, nheless.


    "Hmm, the Cloud Palm Sect should have the books about arrays since their sect leader learned it..." Yu Long decided to visit this sectter.


    At the moment, Yu Long must catch a big fish with these new memories.


    Yu Long went to the bird courier station.


    This ce is where specific breeds of pigeons are ''actually'' trained to send messages, and any high-end factions have one or two stations.


    One might wonder, how can the courier birds survive the wilderness?


    The answer is there is a specific route they could use. They are also smart enough to evade dangers below the Spirit Profound Realm.


    Using the handwriting of the Cloud Palm Sect''s leader, Yu Long wrote a message about the sess of the Yu n''s conquest mission. Then, He added the fact they should discuss further ns.


    After cing the letter in a container, Yu Long picked the highest quality courier bird and sent it to the Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Fortress.


    The distance between Wind de Sect isn''t far away. Yup, only a hundred thousand kilometers.


    That''s far in his previous life, but here?


    The courier bird will arrive in a few hours straight.


    "A few hours is enough to set up a trap." Yu Long said nonchntly.


    He went to the Wind de Sect''s Library and checked their profound skills, only to be disappointed by techniques with no grace nor detail.


    Any technique Yu Long made when he was eight is superior to these trashes.


    "Knowledge is power..." Yu Long gritted his teeth and forced himself to read all the books. He finished everything in the library an hourter, thanks to [Thoughts eleration] and Yume''s [Psychic Force].


    Yu Long leaned on the bookshelves, "Phew, there are some good things in piles of trash."


    "Unfortunately, it was 1 out of ten thousand."


    Lily appeared from the shadows and used her handkerchief to wipe the sweat on Yu Long''s forehead, "You shouldn''t force yourself, young master."


    "You should leave some burdens on us." Sheined like usual.


    "Burden, huh?" Yu Long smiled slightly.


    "There is something you guys can help with."


    "Say it, say it~!" Lily''s eyes lit up immediately.


    Yu Long pointed outside, "Can you bring me high-quality ink and brush?"


    "Eh..." Lily thought the task would be dangerous or exciting.


    Isn''t this just her daily maid task?


    Even then, Lily still followed Yu Long''s order.


    Not far away, under a willow tree, Hong Guan prepared herself for the big battle by meditating.


    Yu Long''s Profound Sense watched her from the library, feeling her profound strength was about to break through.


    Hong Guan could enter the 1st Level of Sky Profound Realm anytime, but she restrained it. She wanted her cultivation base to have a strong foundation.


    [Yin Dragon''s Aspect] and [Gale Dragon''s Aspect] have merged with Hong Guan''s body after two months. It allows her physical and mental prowess to be four times stronger than anyone in the same cultivation.


    ...


    Five hourster.


    The sun has set.


    Yu Long looked down at the Wind de Sect from the highest tree and nodded in satisfaction. He tried using ''Array''s Language'' for the first time and drew a dome-like formation around the Wind de Sect.


    The Wind de Sect will be a battlefield for Hong Guan and the person who instigated a n to destroy the Yu n.


    "My Lord, there is a powerful presence from the west." Yume''s voice echoed in Yu Long''s head.


    Yu Long blinked and used [Insect King''s Vision], finding a tall elderly in a blue robe. He''s skinny for a greedy person, with a wrinkled face, white beard, and mustache.


    "Mu Lei." Yu Long mumbled solemnly.


    Their target is the 6th Level of the Sky Profound Realm. And he was actually equipped with countless hidden weapons under that blue robe.


    Yu Long bet those hidden weapons are all explosive, as expected from the sect full of suicidal maniacs.


    With [Presence Erasure] and [Arts of Ghost], Yu Long went to a more suitable spot to watch the fight. He quicklynded on the roof of a grain warehouse and saw Hong Guan in maid clothes escorting the target.


    ...


    <strong>Hong Guan Pov</strong>


    Here it is!


    I breathed in and smiled at my target, the Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Fortress''s 4th Elder, Mu Lei.


    I hate everything rted to this sect, which means Mu Lei is ''directly'' included.


    "Wee to the Wind de Sect," I said while keeping my killing intent in check. "The Sect Leader Yan and Jiang have been waiting for you, Elder Mu."


    Mu Lei stroked his beard and nodded, "Hmm, not bad."


    "They actually did it in a few days."


    "Well, escort me to their location."


    "Yes," I replied, bringing him to the center of the array formation Young Master Yu Long had created.


    We walked to the courtyard, and I could feel Mu Lei''s lustful gaze on my buttocks. I wish I could kill this trash anytime now, but everything must go ording to the young master''s n.


    Calm down.


    Act like an innocent maiden.


    Soon, I''d get a chance to avenge my brother''s death.


    I hope my brother''s soul will gain more peace.


    "I don''t see Yan Mu or Jiang Gu here...?" Mu Lei frowned, looking around vigntly.


    I turned around and smiled, "About that, it seems they are busy."


    "Busy?"


    "Yes, they are busy in hell!"


    I released my profound strength, using the [Yin Dragon Aspect] and [Gale Dragon Aspect] tounch my most powerful skill.


    A dark scarlet me burst from my palm, changing into a beautiful rose-like flower. As the flower expanded, I smacked Mu Lei as rough as with every strength I could muster.


    "Art of Crimson Witch..."


    "Thorny Rose."


    BOOOOOOOM!!


    Mu Lei and I were ''quickly.'' separated from each other.


    He coughed a mouthful of blood while holding an umbre-like tool.


    ''That tool weakens the explosion...'' I wiped blood from the corner of my mouth. ''But Mu Lei should have been injured as well. My Thorny Rose is abination of Yin and Fire Element.''


    ''It corroded one''s profound strength.''


    "You bitch!" Mu Lei roared at me.


    "You actually dare to attack me!"


    Mu Lei''s hand trembled in pain as the Explosion Silencer Tool couldn''t hold against the sneak attack. The bone in his left arm is ''clinically'' shattered.


    Thinking about this scenario, Mu Lei gazed toward me hatefully and kicked the ground.


    He tried to run away.


    My lips curled into a smirk because Mu Lei couldn''t run away.


    BANG!


    Mu Lei stepped on the array''s barrier and bounced to the ground, groaning in pain.


    "W-What?" He was puzzled.


    "It''s useless," Imented indifferently. "We are currently inside an array formation."


    "Unless you kill me, there is no way out..."


    Mu Lei turned around and grimaced. His wrinkled face darkened after realizing the horror of this situation.


    He also noticed my cultivation, the 10th Level of Earth Profound Realm.


    I could see a confidence rose on Mu Lei''s face.


    He probably thought I was weaker because my cultivation base was lower by six levels than his.


    Young Master is right.


    In this world, everyone thinks their cultivation base is absolute.


    Mu Lei opened his blue robe and revealed several tools and explosives made in the Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Sect.


    He also pulled a ck-colored spear, pointing it at me.


    "I only have to kill you, right?" A grin appeared on his face.


    I restrained myughter and responded, "Yes, if you can do it..."


    Mu Lei rushed toward me.


    He was fast.


    However, I was even faster.


    Thanks to my young master, my sensitivity is superior to this trash.


    "Die!" Mu Lei furiously stabbed his spear and waved a handful of ck dust at me.


    The ck dust lit up, giving off a burnt smell.


    BOOOOOOOOM!!


    "Hahaha~! Take my Annihtion Soul Powders!" Mu Lei thought he already won, but I remained in my position.


    A look of horror stered Mu Lei''s face as he realized the explosion didn''t affect me.


    I was ''actually'' surrounded by a barrier made of Gale Force, which repelled the explosion.


    "Heavenly Spear-!" Mu Lei threw his spear.


    "Toote." But I reacted quickly.


    Using [Gale Dragon Aspect], I created a rotating wind on my right hand.


    Meanwhile, on my other hand, the ck crimson me burns thanks to [Yin Dragon Aspect].


    I sped my hand and mmed Mu Lei''s chest, "Art of Crimson Witch."


    "Ash-like Flower..."


    Mu Lei''s eyes widened in disbelief as the technique I released contained such incredible momentum and firepower.


    Surprisingly, Mu Lei pulled a green-colored orb and tossed it to me in a split second.


    "HAHAHA! Green Sun!" He manicallyughed.


    "GO AWAY!" I screamed in rage.


    BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!


    We were both caught in a massive explosion.


    The courtyard was destroyed to the brim, leaving scattered ground and a deep crater.


    ...


    <strong>Mu Lei Pov</strong>


    "Haa... Haa..."


    "That bitch, whore..."


    I breathed heavily as Green Sun was a forbidden weapon made in the Thunderfire Branch. It was made with several Sky Profound Realm Materials, costing me life savings'' price to have one.


    However, that bitch.


    "She was too powerful."


    "At least she died..." I sighed in relief, feeling pain in my chest.


    Looking down at my chest, I saw a burning hole that exposed my beating heart. I panicked and quickly ate a recovery pill suppressing the injuries.


    "Fuck, I am almost die..." Thankfully, being the Sky Profound Realm Expert that I am, this injury isn''t that bad.


    Thud!


    Thud!


    The sound of steps entered my ears.


    "Huh?"


    "No fucking way..."


    My breath became heavier as a figure slowly walked towards me.


    Her body was charred like ash, releasing intense heat.


    Her long, crimson hair red like the sun''s res.


    However, what makes me terrified is her eyes.


    Those green eyes gained slit-like a dragon, shining with venomous gleam.


    Move!


    Move!


    My legs stumbled all over the ce.


    Then, I realized my legs had melted!


    "AAAAAAAAAAAAARGGGHHHHHHHH!"


    The demoness approached me with the gaze of nothing but a wish to rip me apart.


    After a few seconds, she stood before me. Her beautiful dragon-like face sends a chill down my spine.


    If it was any other day, I''d have prostates and worshiped her beauty.


    Nevertheless, I know.


    Today is my end.


    I forced my guts to move and opened my mouth, "W-Why did you hate me so much?"


    "I believe we have never met before..."


    "Your sect..." Her alluring but cold voice struck my soul.


    "Your sect killed my brother."


    My eyes shrank in realization.


    I see, revenge.


    The Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Fortress finally made an enemy they couldn''t defend against. It seems the sect is ''eventually'' destined to perish.


    The woman didn''t even move an inch, but everything within a meter radius melted into the dark liquid, including me.


    My organ burst.


    My bones turned into dust.


    And my blood evaporated.


    ''We have created a monster...'' I nkly thought before my gruesome and painful death.


    ...


    <strong>Normal Pov</strong>


    ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORR!!!


    A roar of retribution reverberated all over the Wind de Sect.


    Yu Longnded on the domain-like ability that Hong Guan released and stared at the transformingdy. She entered the 1st Level of Sky Profound Realm, even awakening her profound incarnation.


    An ethereal, bipedal dragon surrounded Hong Guan, wrapping her like a guardian beast. It is over fifteen meters tall, with a slender, streamlined body covered by ck-green scales and a pair of bat-like wings.


    ck mes and hurricanes surrounded them.


    Yu Long''s eyes met with the dragon''s, and thetter reacted hostilely.


    Growling at Yu Long, the dragon would protect its host at all costs.


    "Little dragon, you''re too weak to handle me." He chuckled and walked toward Hong Guan, not caring about the dragon''s hostility.


    Yu Long stood before the now crimson-haired beauty.


    "Sister Guan."


    "Hong Guan?"


    "Wake up." He caressed her face gently.


    Hong Guan slowly opened her green eyes, staring at Yu Long with a sad expression. Tears are running from her eyes, evaporating upon leaving her fair cheeks.


    Yu Long sighed and opened his arms, "Here."


    "Aaah, I did it... Yu Long, I did it." Hong Guan cried in Yu Long''s embrace, pouring out her emotional burden.


    Yu Long patted her back, "Everything will be okay now."


    "You have be strong too."


    "I''m proud of you..."


    "Really..." Hong Guan''s voice was hoarse because of the excessive crying.


    Yu Long smiled and answered truthfully, "Yes."


    "Can we stay like this a little longer?" Hong Guan buried her face in the youth''s chest, feeling veryfortable.


    "Sure."


    "Thank you..."

    Give this story more power stones!


    --- Chapter 25 ---


    In the destroyed courtyard of Wind de Sect, Yu Long and Hong Guan hugged each other. After seemingly evolving into a dragon, the now crimson-haired beauty carries a scent she used not to have.


    This scent caused the hormone inside Yu Long''s teenage body to get riled up.


    Hong Guan''s soft D-Cup chest pressed against Yu Long, making him breathe excitedly. His arms were ''currently'' wrapped around her, but ''mere'' centimeters down, he could discern a peach-like shape.


    ''It''s not that I didn''t notice her...'' Yu Long stared at Hong Guan''s dreamy facial features. She looks very peaceful, leaning on his chest despite their height difference.


    ''Romance, huh?''


    ''Maybe I should start thinking about it too.'' Yu Long knew he had six years before the plot of the world started. However, he might have to enjoy his life more.After all, reincarnation means starting over, no?


    Yu Long saw Lily and used sound transmission, ''Clean up the field. I''ll handle her for a moment.''


    ''Hehe, okie, dokie~!'' Lily saluted with a yful smile on her face.


    ''Young master, don''t you think Hong Guan is such a lovelydy?''


    The question was left unanswered for a while before Yu Long sent the reply.


    ''She is.''


    Several hundred meters away, Lily giggled when hearing his reply and ordered the Shadow Phantoms to ''make sure'' the area around the Wind de Sect was clean.


    They have captured every disciple and killed higher-ups inside the Wind de Sect. After some processing, they''d be absorbed into the Shadow Realm and returned to the Wind de Sect as a reserved unit.


    Cloud Palm Sect will also receive the same treatment, but not a whole transformation. This palm-focused sect is more open than the Wind de Sect, which is ''literally'' surrounded by mountains and only one ground route.


    Hong Guan slowly fell asleep inside Yu Long''s embrace, probably due to the excessive consumption of her profound incarnation.


    Yu Longid the crimson-haired beauty down on the ground and stared at her respectfully. After the brief observation, he covered her in a warm fur coat.


    "Good job, Hong Guan." He praised her.


    The woman in question instinctively smiled and entered a pleasant dream world.


    Yu Long nced at the charred crater and shook his head bitterly. "It was good that her profound incarnation didn''t fully destroy Mu Lei from existence."


    With a wave of his hand, the ''essence'' left behind from Mu Lei''s remains floated out from the ground and turned into a red-colored sphere.


    "Let''s see what secret you have." Yu Long stared at the hovering essence sphere and brought it to his mouth, swallowing it.


    Years worth of memories drowned Yu Long''s head, but no matter what, these second-hand experiences won''t change him.


    [Kaiju Maker] already optimized his state of mind, making it insusceptible to corruption. Unless there is a higher force than [Kaiju Maker], Yu Long has never encountered one in his previous or current life.


    Yu Long digested Mu Lei''s memory and left with a horrible aftertaste a few minutester. "That old bastard lives long enough to mess with many people..." He rubbed his forehead.


    However, at the same time, Yu Long also obtained precious intel.


    All the things he needed to confront Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Fortress were inside Mu Lei''s memory. So, something like the sect''s force, financial status, connection, and secrets are wide open for him.


    "Hehe... Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Fortress, you guys are fucked!" Yu Long grinned like a madman.


    Yu Long breathed in, containing his excitement.


    No, he can''t just destroy them.


    He must humiliate them, bringing them to the most despairing moment possible. By doing so, Yu Long would be satisfied after they took his teacher''s life.


    Yu Long nced at the sleeping Hong Guan, "Please be patient..."


    "After stripping everything from the damned Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Fortress, I''ll let you do anything..."


    "And I mean it."


    ...


    A few weekster.


    The Wind de Sect, Cloud Palm Sect, and the business ns were pletely'' reformed by Yu Long.


    Yu n avoided the crisis by eliminating theirpetitor but keeping them close enough to be dummies after recing their person-inmands with Shadow Agents.


    No one would notice the monopoly in Blue North County anymore. Even if someone did, Yu Long''s Shadow Realm would catch the spark and deal with it silently.


    On top of that, the Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Fortress won''t suspect a thing because of Mu Lei''s greediness.


    You see, before going to the Wind de Sect and proceeding to get killed by Hong Guan, Mu Lei applied for a leave for a few years to break through!


    It was so convenient but also understandable.


    Mu Lei probably nned to monopolize the entire Blue North County without the Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Fortress knowing. After he became strong enough, no one could stop him.


    Unfortunately, Mu Lei''s n backfired when he tried to touch Yu n and its possession! It doesn''t matter if Mu Lei didn''t w his hand directly into the scheme. Yu Long won''t leave him be. And now the 4th Elder of the Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Fortress is dead.


    Yu Long would definitely use Mu Lei''s status plentily in the future.


    Why would he infiltrate the Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Fortress from the front door when he could do the same from the back door with a special privilege called connection?


    At this point, Yu Long truly started his journey as a young master.


    Right now, in Drifting Cloud Mountain Range.


    Yu Long and Hong Guan faced each other.


    They summoned their profound incarnations and stared at each other menacingly.


    A muscr humanoid and a massive dragon standoff with electricity flying everywhere, and their ethereal bodies released intense heat.


    The profound incarnations changed the surroundings into a literal world of fire, melting the ground and heating the atmosphere. Thunderclouds appeared shortly after.


    "Ready?" Yu Long said, smiling at the crimson-haired beauty in a white martial robe.


    "Ready!" Hong Guan let out a smile.


    BOOM!


    Yu Long and Hong Guan disappeared from their position. An explosion urred several meters away as they shed mid-air, crossing their arms in contact.


    Hong Guan''s profound incarnation opened its mouth and spewed a fire breath. Yu Long''s incarnation countered it by punching a vacuum open.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    Hong Guan sent three consecutive punches.


    Yu Long shook his head rhythmically and dodged everything,nding his kick on her knee.


    Hong Guan frowned and grabbed Yu Long''s clothes, mming him to the ground.


    Crack!


    Yu Long crashed to the ground and watched Hong Guan pointing her palm at him.


    "Rose!"


    Flower petals descended from the sky, swirling rapidly.


    Yu Long could disperse this attack by breaking its profound patterns but decided not to. It wouldn''t be fun if he did so.


    A smirk appeared on Yu Long''s handsome face as he opened his palm and summoned arge amount of water.


    Aspect applied, turning the water into a life-like creature.


    ROAR!


    An eastern water dragon erupted and climbed to the sky with its teeth-filled mouth open. Its serpentine body is ''thoroughly'' covered with a scale-like pattern.


    If Yu Long waved a hand sign, It was clear where he got this technique referenced from.


    Hong Guan pursed her lips, "Well, this is unfair..."


    BOOM!


    The water dragon crashed into her.


    Hong Guan''s profound incarnation wrapped her body, shielding her from any iing attack.


    Unfortunately for her, Yu Long wouldn''t do a second attack.


    Swoosh!


    The water dragon bit Hong Guan''s profound incarnation by the neck and turned it into ice.


    The temperature dropped drastically, making the crimson-haireddy freeze in difort. It''s not just Hong Guan''s profound incarnation that was frozen.


    Even her profound strength was ''directly'' frozen.


    As Hong Guan fell from the sky, Yu Long jumped and caught her, "Hehe, I believe this is my win."


    Hong Guan encircled her slender arms around Yu Long''s neck and replied helplessly, "I would have never thought you could use Ice Element, young master."


    "My profound incarnation didn''t stand a chance."


    "That''s where you are wrong. I altered the profound patterns of [Water Dragon Aspect] and added new input, triggering its transformation as a freezing attack." Yu Longughed heartily.


    "I don''t have any ice-based technique so far."


    "Only Frozen Cloud Asgard has them."


    "Frozen Cloud Asgard..." Hong Guan mumbled softly. "The sect that only has female members and focused on celibacy."


    "A bad ce..."


    ''Love is a wonderful thing.'' The crimson-haireddy added in her mind, nuzzling her face to Yu Long''s neck.


    Yu Long shook his head, "Frozen Cloud Asgard is indeed a horrible ce to be cultivators, but there must be a reason."


    "As for the reasons... Why don''t we send Shadow Agents there?"


    Hong Guan blinked her eyes and understood Yu Long''s intention, "Young master, you''re so bad."


    "Aren''t me and Lily enough? I don''t think you need more maids..."


    "What are you thinking? I''m an honest and innocent young man!" Yu Long denied with a straight face.


    Hong Guan giggled, "I''m just joking."


    "I don''t mind you having more maids(women) on your side."


    "Just remember to put me in your heart first~!" She winked, yfully rubbing her finger on his chest.


    "I will. No one can rece my Dear Guan." Yu Long winked back, catching her off guard.


    Hong Guan blushed hard as she never thought Yu Long would reply in such a way. Her heart throbbed in excitement.


    Meanwhile, Yu Long took a deep breath internally.


    God damn, Hong Guan became flirty all of a sudden!


    Those dragon''s bloodlines make her bolder.


    Thankfully, Yu Long has memories of his past life. He was confident with his counter technique.


    Yu Long faked a cough, "Ehem. Let''s return to the Yu n."


    "We cannot miss breakfast, or mother will nag me."

    Give this story more power stones!


    --- Chapter 27 ---


    Two weekster.


    With Xia Qingyue in the Yu n, Yu Long''s daily life bes much busier.


    His mother also nagged more, often teasing him and Xia Qingyue.


    Although Yu Xin never mentioned engagement or anything directly rted to it, Yu Long was clear she wanted to pair Xia Qingyue with him. Not in a forceful way, but more amodating for sure.


    Every lunch or dinner, Yu Xin would put their seats closer and make the mood more merrier. Sometimes, she''d talk about Yu Long''s childhood to Xia Qingyue despite it being a few years ago.


    People say a mother is a frightening creature.Yu Long experienced it firsthand now.


    Yes, there was also something weird.


    Yu Long''s father doesn''tment concerning Yu Xin''s arrangement.


    The same goes for the slick Xia Hongyi, who made Yu Long train his son a few months back.


    The two fathers seemingly have a ''Dads'' Agreement'' with each other, which Yu Long is curious about but doesn''t care enough to uncover.


    Aside from this ''interesting'' development, Yu Long''s rtionship with Xia Qingyue bes closer.


    When a cute girl calls you ''Big Brother'' in such a heartwarming way every single time, you''re bound to love or hate it.


    And Yu Long freaking loves it!


    It also happened because Yu Long didn''t have any younger siblings in his previous life. In the Yu n, he is also the youngest.


    Yu Long and Xia Qingyue be inseparable due to their research on the profound way. Even if Yu Xin didn''t meddle, he wouldn''t mind Xia Qingyue''s presence near him.


    Xia Qingyue is a quick learner.


    She''s also insufferably intellectual and talented.


    The amount of knowledge Yu Long poured into Xia Qingyue would make any so-called martial saint suffer an existential crisis, but she took it like a champ.


    Usually, Xia Qingyue didn''t take a day or two to have in-depth knowledge about something.


    On top of that, Xia Qingyue''s cultivation soared rapidly.


    Yu Long was surprised when he discovered that Xia Qingyue''s cultivation was at the 10th level of the Elementary Profound Realm. Yes, this was when she arrived at the Yu n two weeks ago.


    She took less than a month to convert her vitality into profound strength.


    Xia Qingyue''s cultivation base is currently at the 6th Level of the Nascent Profound Realm. No wonder Xia Qingyue''s Nine Profound Exquisite Body is ''literally'' described as a heaven-defying physique, and many people want to covet it in the novel.


    Fortunately, Yu Long has developed profound patterns and aspects.


    He has sampled Xia Qingyue''s ''Nine Profound Exquisite Body'' and altered it slightly to fit his body. He called this [Broken Profound Aspects]. If Yu Long didn''t want to uncover the mystery of this world''s cultivation path and limited his cultivation base, he could have reached the Tyrant Profound Realm any moment now.


    That''s counting the factor that several ''altered bloodlines'' and ''profound aspects'' contained in his body.


    Tyrant Profound Realm is also called ''Overlord.'' in this world.


    So, Yu Long could attain ''Overlord'' at ten.


    Ten years old Overlord, what kind of concept is that?


    If any higher powers in the Profound Sky Continent knew of Yu Long''s existence and monstrous potential, they wouldn''t let him be.


    Fortunately, they don''t.


    Even then, Yu Long''s life bes much more colorful than before.


    Is it a bad thing?


    Or a good thing?


    Who knows, but Yu Long doesn''t mind it, and that''s what matters.


    ...


    On the morning day, Yu Long woke up with a yawn. He scratched his cheeks and looked around for a bit.


    His bedroom is messy, as usual.


    There are books everywhere.


    And female underwear on the floor.


    "Wait, Female Underwear?!" Yu Long''s eyes widened in shock.


    The fuck?


    Yu Long pulled his pants up slightly and saw everything was fine.


    Priority, priority.


    "Safe. I thought someone fucked me..." He sighed in relief.


    After that, Yu Long trailed his gaze to the other side of the bed and saw Lily sleeping soundlessly.


    "Yum, yum... One bread, two bread." Lily murmured happily. Drools areing from her mouth, touching Yu Long''s sacred bed.


    "..." Yu Long''s mouth twitched in disbelief.


    This maid.


    How in hell did she enter my room?


    Yu Long peeked at the round, perky things below Lily''s corbone and faked a ''respectful'' cough after seeing them. "Hmm, Lily''s be bigger than before. The bloodline likely affects her..." He wondered slightly.


    "I need to do more research."


    "For scientific purposes." Yu Long nodded sagely and covered Lily with a nket.


    He stretched and wrote a note, sticking it on the maid''s forehead.


    Yu Long refreshed himself with a ssh of cold water and wiped his face with a towel. "Phew, it''s morning, and I''m already panicking."


    After brushing his teeth, Yu Long changed his clothes into a ck training uniform and went to the courtyard.


    Yu Long started his usual exercises and bathed in the morning''s sunlight to absorb Violet Qi. He sensed someone''s presence in the back and crouched slightly.


    Xia Qingyue missed her target and pouted, "I almost got you..."


    "You''re too green to catch me." Yu Long shed a grin at the charming girl.


    Xia Qingyue ced her hands on the hip and returned, "I''ve asked this several times, but aren''t you bored, big brother?"


    "Me? Bored?"


    "Hahaha~!" Yu Longughed at her joke.


    "I would never get bored as long as Qingyue is on my side."


    "Y-You''re teasing me again!" Xia Qingyue''s ears reddened.


    Yu Long shook his head and continued, "There are many things to do in the house, you know?"


    "For example, sleep."


    "Out of many things, you chose that..." Xia Qingyue was amazed by Yu Long''s reason for staying at home.


    "What, sleep is important!" Yu Long straightforwardly stated.


    "What happens when one doesn''t have enough sleep? They be less productive!"


    "What happens when one doesn''t have enough sleep in a war? The enemy will wait until drowsiness hits and kills them."


    "What happens when..."


    ''There he goes again...'' Xia Qingyue smiled helplessly.


    She thought Yu Long was more mysterious than others. Well, he is. But sometimes, boys will always be boys.


    "That''s why, without enough sleep, no one will seed!" Yu Long finished his speech.


    Xia Qingyue sighed, "Whatever..."


    "I was thinking you could bring me to an interesting ce." She blinked innocently.


    "That''s not going to work against me anymore." Yu Long responded casually.


    "Eh?" Xia Qingyue was shocked. Those maids lied to her!


    Oh, sweet Xia Qingyue.


    You''re too naive.


    How could such a trick work twice on Yu Long? Even without [Kaiju Maker], he''s immune to it after the first attempt.


    Yu Long flicked Xia Qingyue''s forehead and said, "Go, train your profound strength."


    "If you reach the 7th Level of the Nascent Profound Realm, I''ll bring you to an interesting ce."


    "Ouch-! Really?!" Xia Qingyue was about to rub her aching forehead when she listened to Yu Long''s second line and became excited instead.


    "Promise you won''t take your words back."


    "I promise." Yu Long lifted his pinky finger.


    Xia Qingyue tilted her head as she didn''t understand his gesture.


    Yu Long chuckled and exined, "This is called Pinky Promise."


    "When one makes a promise with another, they can link their pinky fingers and promise to fulfill it."


    "The gesture is taken to signify that the person can break the finger of the one who broke the promise."


    "Now that I think about it, this is horrible..." Yu Long regretted exining this.


    However, Xia Qingyue''s eyes lit up immediately as she locked her pinky finger with Yu Long''s.


    "Hehe, Pinky Promise. You can''t take your words back now." She giggled excitedly.


    "Bye, Big Brother Yu Long. I''ll go and cultivate!" Xia Qingyue happily skipped onto the ground and disappeared into her bedroom in the opposite courtyard.


    "..." Yu Long stared at his pinky finger.


    It wouldn''t break, no?


    "Whatever..."


    "It''s just a harmless promise." Yu Long shrugged and continued training [Art of Violet Mist].


    Yu Long has understood the essence of the Nascent Profound Realm, so it''s time for him to break through.


    At Elementary Profound Realm, what matters the most is the ''Conversion'' of one''s vitality into profound strength.


    The Nascent Profound Realm took one further step of that ''Conversion'' and developed the newly profound energy in one''s body, using the power of Earth and Heaven.


    The key is the ''maturing'' process from the surroundings'' energies.


    When the profound energy in one''s body matured enough, one could step into the True Profound Realm.


    Yu Long closed his eyes and felt the warm sensation on his 54 profound entrances. Yes, he had all of them open a while ago.


    The warm current washed Yu Long''s body as he steadily entered the 1st Level of True Profound Realm.


    But it doesn''t end here.


    Yu Long''s profound energy boiled and kept surging forward, raising his cultivation base.


    2nd Level of the True Profound Realm.


    3rd Level of the True Profound Realm.


    4th Level of the True Profound Realm.


    5th Level of the True Profound Realm.


    6th Level of the True Profound Realm.


    7th Level of the True Profound Realm.


    8th Level of the True Profound Realm.


    9th Level of the True Profound Realm.


    10th Level of the True Profound Realm!


    After absorbing immense energy and controlling it perfectly, Yu Long steadily stopped at the 10th Level of the True Profound Realm.


    Yu Long opened his eyes and released a violet-colored smoke from his mouth. He felt refreshed and definitely much ''stronger'' than before.


    The increase of strength in the Elementary Profound Realm and Nascent Profound Realm is too little for Yu Long to notice. However, the True Profound Realm is different.


    "What the means by ''mature'' is actually more ''stable'' than the previous realm." Yu Long ridiculed this world''s vague definition of the cultivation path.


    He lifted his head and saw the sun ganging in the sky.


    "Interesting ce, huh?"


    "Visiting that bird doesn''t sound bad."

 Chapter 31: The Phoenix Clan

    Chapter 31: The Phoenix n


    Hello, There. This is me, Nine_Clouds!


    It''s been thirty-one chapters, what do you think about the story so far?


    --- Chapter 30 ---


    "Phoenix?"


    "The Primordial Divine Beast?"


    The threedies were dumbfounded.


    They have heard stories about the ''Phoenix'' from the Divine Phoenix Empire that neighbored their Blue Wind Empire.


    In the past, the Divine Phoenix Sect received the legacy of the Phoenix and took over the Grand Asura Kingdom, renaming it into the Divine Phoenix Empire.


    From this story, one can see the significant meaning of possessing such a legacy. Strength to dominate an entire empire!


    To this day, the Divine Phoenix Empire still worships the Phoenix.


    How could such a legacy remain in this remote ce without anyone knowing?


    "No, no. Don''t let your imagination run wild." Yu Long chuckled at their reactions. "This n indeed connected to the Divine Phoenix Empire, but not in the way you thought it was."


    "Let''s visit the n first."


    He casually walked to the vige, "You''ll know more as soon as we talk with them."


    But how did you know then? The threedies stared at Yu Long''s back in confusion.


    Even then, they followed Yu Long to the small vige surrounded by tall walls.


    Upon their arrival, a gasp echoes one after another.


    "Outsiders..."


    "There are actually outsiders visiting our n."


    "I thought no one knew about our n''s existence anymore..."


    Xia Qingyue frowned as her ability to see one''s soul and characteristics activated. When she saw these people with small fire tattoos on their foreheads, she couldn''t help but notice their pure souls.


    Yes, pure souls!


    Every single one of them!


    Xia Qingyue also noticed the faint helplessness on their faces, but when they saw her and Yu Long, the ''helplessness.'' seemed to change into hope.


    "10th Level of Elementary Profound Realm..." Lily mumbled in disbelief.


    "Aren''t they supposed to be inheritors of Phoenix''s blood?" She patted her head. "This kind of cultivation base, even a group of Shadow Apprentices much stronger than this."


    "Looks and feels properly, Lily... That me mark on their forehead. It''s limiting their profound sensitivity and aspect." Hong Guanmented solemnly.


    "Ultimately preventing them from breaking through into the Nascent Profound Realm."


    After some thought, Hong Guan furrowed her brows and added, "I don''t know what happened to these people. However, It was most likely punishment or some sort."


    ''You don''t know how spot-on you are, Hong Guan.'' Yu Long shook his head gently.


    A woman''s intuition is a cheat.


    "Hello." Someone calmly approached them.


    It was a red-haired man in histe twenties.


    He''s around 178 centimeters with a humble appearance. He wore a in blue robe, making him look even more ordinary.


    There is an air of peacefulness around this man.


    "Hello." Yu Long responded, cupping his hand at the red-haired man.


    The red-haired man was stunned at Yu Long''s gesture before smiling faintly. "My name is Feng Baichuan." He introduced himself to them.


    "I''m the leader of this small n."


    "It seems that you discovered our small settlement by ident. Or maybe not."


    "This might sound weird, but how should I refer to esteemed guests?"


    Yu Long nodded and replied, "No, it''s not weird. n Leader Feng."


    "My name is Yu Long."


    "This charming youngdy is Xia Qingyue."


    "That good-looking woman in green is Lily."


    "Andstly, the beauty in the red dress is Hong Guan."


    "Greetings." Thedies politely bowed to Feng Baichuan.


    Feng Baichuan was troubled, "Please do not bow to me."


    "Haha, it''s okay." Yu Long waved his hand casually. "Showing some courtesy should be fine, no?"


    "W-Well..." Feng Baichuan could only nod at the end.


    The red-haired man sighed and asked, "Please forgive my rudeness. May I ask what''s the purpose of your visit?"


    Yu Long yed a clueless expression before replying, "This... n Leader Feng, I sensed a rich aura of me here. Is this ce perhaps where the Guardian n of Phoenix''s Legacy resides?"


    After Yu Long mentioned this, every n member seemingly stopped like statues and put a pained look on their faces. They instinctively touched the me imprint on their forehead.


    "Guardian n..." Feng Baichuan smiled bitterly. "We don''t deserve such a title."


    "I could feel that four of you aren''t bad people. Please follow me, and I will exin our n''s situation more."


    "Sure." Yu Long and others followed Feng Baichuan to his house.


    Feng Baichuan called for his wife and asked her to make tea for the guests.


    As they sat down around a round table, the mood slowly became heavier and heavier.


    Feng Baichuan''s wife ced several cups of tea on the table, giving them a nod and leaving the room.


    "As I said earlier..." Feng Baichuan sighed in sorrow.


    "We do not deserve to be called ''Guardian n'' anymore."


    "Right now, we are just a small n that carried the ancestor''s sin and curse of the Phoenix..."


    "But why so?" Xia Qingyue asked in bizarreness.


    "Yes, we noticed that every adult in the n is only at the 10th Level of Elementary Profound Realm." Hong Guan added immediately.


    "I''ll be frank, but with such strength, I''m surprised your n could survive living in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range."


    "There must be a reason, right?"


    Feng Baichuan gazed into the distance and answered, "You''re right."


    "We used to prosper."


    "We used to be bathed in glory, existing for a very long time due to the Divine Phoenix."


    "However, we incur Heaven''s Wrath!"


    "Heaven''s Wrath..." Lily whispered to herself. She can''t imagine the action that could lead to such a result.


    "Yes. A long time ago..." Feng Baichuan recalled his father''s story.


    "An ancestor of the n passed the phoenix trial and obtained the phoenix bloodline."


    "They flourished into arge sect after 12 generations."


    "Nheless, During that generation, one of the ancestors fought with someone using the power of the Phoenix. The mes identally spread to a small town and burned thirty-two thousand innocent people..."


    "The Phoenix God''s Spirit was enraged by our ancestor''s action and cursed our bloodline to get suppressed to the 10th level of Elementary Profound."


    "Afterward, our strength declined rapidly with no other choice than isting ourselves in the mountain range next to the ruins of the Phoenix for a thousand years. We prayed to Phoenix God that the curse could get released."


    "I doubt people outside know about our existence anymore..." Heughed in self-mockery.


    "As for why we livefortably in this remote ce. The Phoenix ruin nearby releases the aura of Phoenix God, which deters dangerous beasts away, allowing us to livefortably."


    "How unfair..." Xia Qingyue uttered after hearing the story. Even Hong Guan and Lily thought the same.


    "n Head Feng, your generation did nothing wrong, no? Why did you have to carry the sin of your ancestor?"


    "Also, didn''t you say the sin was an ident?"


    Feng Baichuan shook his head calmly and responded, "Because my Ancestor still killed those innocent lives."


    "Even if it was an ident, lives are still lives!"


    "We must protect Phoenix Ruin and its image. The power given to uses with responsibility."


    "And my ancestor broke that responsibility!" Tears areing from Feng Baichuan''s eyes. "Even until this very moment, the Phoenix n still felt ashamed of our past actions."


    "Generations after generation, we carried the shameful will and were taught to repent. Because it''s our responsibility now!"


    "Here." Yu Long, who had been quiet all this time, ced down a napkin for Feng Baichuan.


    "Thank you." Feng Baichuan still thanked him despite his emotional state.


    Hong Guan bit her lips and nced at Yu Long, "Is there a way to break the curse?"


    ''Why are you staring at me?'' Yu Long chuckled inside.


    ''He''s the n head, not me!''


    Feng Baichuan wiped his tears, "There is a way to break the curse."


    "But it''s ''extremely'' dangerous and difficult."


    "And that way is?" Lily questioned in suspense.


    "Only those with true phoenix bloodline could break the curse." Feng Bauchian finished his words. "And to obtain true phoenix bloodline, one must pass Phoenix Trials like our ancestor years ago."


    "Aside from this method, there is no other way."


    "Big Brother, Young Master!" Xia Qingyue and Lily showed a pleading look at Yu Long after realizing how pitiful the Phoenix n was.


    Yu Long was ''actually'' taken aback by their actions.


    He ruffled his hair and said, "Don''t be pessimistic, n Leader Feng."


    "I might have a way to break the curse."


    Yu Long shrugged, "Of course. Passing the Phoenix Trials is convenient and more straightforward."


    "Still, with my expertise, trying another method doesn''t sound bad. What do you think?"


    "D-Do you really have a way?" Feng Baichuan''s body trembled.


    "In theory, yes. All I need is your blood and some time." Yu Long returned confidently.


    "Then, take my blood. If you seed, then you''ll be our greatest benefactor." Feng Baichuan''s gaze bes firm.


    Yu Long rubbed his chin, "Not so fast."


    "Can we visit the Phoenix Ruin first?"


    ''I''m afraid the Phoenix God will intervene with my method."


    "This... I might have to talk with my nsmen first." Feng Baichuan put on aplex expression.


    "It''s okay. You can discuss it with your nsmen, but give me your blood first." Yu Long smiled in understanding.


    "Okay!" Feng Baichuan excitedly ran toward the kitchen.


    "Woah, woah, hold down your horse." Yu Long grabbed Feng Baichuan''s hand and stopped him.


    "Are you going to take a sharp object and hack yourself?"


    "Uh... Yes?" Feng Baichuan tilted his head and then realized how absurd his action was.


    "..." Xia Qingyue.


    "..." Lily.


    "..." Hong Guan.


    "..." Even Feng Baichuan''s wife afar was speechless.


    Yu Long''s mouth twitched as he handed a syringe, "Use this instead."


    "To use this tool, you have to stab and pull this. Then..."


    Feng Baichuan''s eyes lit up in marvel. He followed Yu Long''s instructions and drew his blood out.


    It was painless.


    "Stop, this is more than enough." Yu Long said, gently pulling the syringe off Feng Baichuan''s arm. "In the meantime, you can discuss with your nsmen, n Head Feng."


    "Then, wait for my good news." Feng Baichuan bade farewell and left them in the room.


    "I should be the one who says that." Yu Long waved his hand carefreely.


    Stretching his fingers, he looked at the syringe and said, "Now for the nifty part..."

 Chapter 33: The Dumbfounded Phoenix

    Chapter 33: The Dumbfounded Phoenix


    --- Chapter 32 ---


    Feng Baichuan led Yu Long and others to the Phoenix Trial Ground.


    As they passed some n members on the street, Yu Long could feel their deep admiration toward him and couldn''t help butpare them with shadow agents in the Shadow Realm.


    With this in mind, Yu Long nced at Feng Baichuan and asked, "n Leader Feng, may I ask something."


    "Feel free to ask anything, Benefactor Yu." Feng Baichuan responded immediately. A happy smile seems stered over his face permanently.


    "Since the Phoenix n has a way to break its curse, what''s your n after this?" Yu Long uttered immediately.


    "You know that this is your chance to check the outside world. Even letting the world know that the Phoenix n still exists."


    Feng Baichuan shook his head, "We would still stay in this mountain range and protect the Phoenix Trial Ground. It''s our duty."


    "But... I can''t say the same for the n''s young generation. Their duties aren''t as ingrained as ours." "Then, what about joining an alliance with me?" Yu Long strikes while the iron is still hot.


    "With you?" Feng Baichuan tilted his head. "Are you perhaps from a big background, Benefactor Yu?"


    Yu Long chuckled, "Well, something like that."


    "I''m from Yu n in the Blue North County. Although no one knows about our power yet. I guarantee we are no weaker than any sects or empires."


    Feng Baichuan''s eyes lit up, "Yet? I see that Benefactor Yu is also wise in this kind of matter."


    "He is." Xia Qingyue joined the conversation. "Big Brother Yu Long is the most talented person in this world. Those people who self-proimed themselves as ones are nothing to him!"


    "Haha~! I agree with your statement, youngdy." Feng Baichuanughed merrily.


    Yu Long helplessly heaved a sigh, "Stop praising me. There are many things out there that I didn''t know."


    "My skill is only better than some people..."


    "I know I''m great, but not that great!"


    "Young Master, why did it sound like you were bragging..." Lily was speechless.


    "You heard it wrong then." Yu Long returned, maintaining a righteous expression. "I''m a very humble guy."


    "..." Lily rolled her eyes.


    ''Fufu, Young Master is silly sometimes.'' Hong Guan covered her mouth and giggled in amusement.


    Feng Baichuan coughed, "Give me a day to consider this offer."


    "This matter will decide our n''s future."


    "No problem." Yu Long gave him a knowing look.


    "Well, here we are." Feng Baichuan suddenly stopped his steps.


    A tall building that seemed to exist for a long time stood firmly before their eyes. Its wall is ''grandly'' made with white marbled stones, and the roof is dark like night. Andstly, a grand-looking iron door at its entrance.


    Xia Qingyue looked up and was amazed, "Woah."


    "I could feel the air of mystery from this building."


    "I thought the same in the past." Feng Baichuan recalled his childhood moment, visiting this ce and learning its history from his father. "That was such a good old time."


    He stepped forward and paid his respect to the Phoenix God.


    After that, Feng Baichuan approached a small altar near the iron door with a small red crystal and injected his bloodline power into it.


    The crystal released a dim scarlet light as the iron door slowly opened.


    Xia Qingyue''s charming eyes blinked a few times, marveling at the mechanism behind this door.


    "Array, a specific one at that." Yu Longmented, answering Xia Qingyue''s thoughts.


    "How did..." She was surprised by Yu Long''s words.


    Yu Long patted Xia Qingyue''s head and returned, "Because it''s shown all over your face."


    "Anyway, n Leader Feng. We can enter, right?"


    "Yes." Feng Baichuan nodded. "Just make sure to keep your aura in check."


    "Mm." The four of them understood.


    They entered the Trial Ground and saw a massive square surrounded by red-tiled hallways. At the center of this ce, they noticed a white circle with the image of a red phoenix carved meticulously.


    "Wee to the Phoenix Trial Ground." Feng Baichuan introduced to them some history about this ce.


    However, Yu Long''s attention always focused on the white circle at the center of the room.


    His curiosity over the Phoenix is high, after all.


    Don''t underestimate Yu Long''s research spirit!


    "n Leader Feng."


    "That white circle over there is the Transportation Array, right?"


    Feng Baichuan was stunned for a second as he answered with a nod, "Correct."


    "To enter the Phoenix Trial, one must step over that array."


    "Not activation speed or anything?" Yu Long asked curiously.


    "No, to enter the Phoenix Trial Ground. That person should be trustworthy enough in the eyes of the Phoenix n." Feng Baichuan smiled. "And you, Benefactor Yu, are very trustworthy."


    "You remind me of Qingyue''s younger brother." Yu Long nced at the youngdy beside him.


    Xia Qingyue pouted slightly, "Don''tpare an adult with a child, Big Brother Yu Long."


    "Yuanba is only nine."


    "I''m talking about their personality..." Yu Long poked her little nose.


    "Uh..." Xia Qingyue blushed after hearing that.


    "Hehe~!" Lily and Hong Guan giggled.


    Yu Long returned his gaze to the white circle and checked his condition.


    He has fully recovered from using [Kaiju Maker] constantly.


    "n Leader Feng." He called Feng Baichuan.


    "As expected, I can''t contain my curiosity after all... I want to enter the Phoenix Trial."


    "Benefactor Yu, it''s dangerous. You''ve already found a way to break our curse. Isn''t it enough?" Feng Baichuan returned solemnly.


    "It''s not. On the path of pursuing the profound way, I know no such thing as enough." Yu Long answered without beating the bush around.


    "Also, don''t worry. Although I didn''t look strong, even Hong Guan, a Sky Profound Expert, couldn''t defeat me."


    "Lady Hong, Y-You''re a Sky Profound Realm Expert?" Feng Baichuan was dumbfounded. Even in his ancestry record, only the cream of the crop could reach such a realm.


    Hong Guan seems to be in her early twenties.


    "Yes, that''s right. I''ve never won against my Young Master." Hong Guan nodded calmly.


    "Not even once."


    Feng Baichuan rubbed his temple, "In that case... You can enter the Phoenix Trial."


    "Just make sure to be safe there." He gave Yu Long a worried gaze.


    "Mm." Yu Long smiled at Feng Baichuan.


    He strode forward confidently and stepped on the array, feeling the space twisted slightly.


    Yu Long''s vision became blurry as darkness greeted him.


    This darkness seems to have no end.


    However, for Yu Long, this darkness isforting. It is just like his inner world.


    The darkness trembles slightly, revealing a pair of massive golden-red eyes.


    The eyes stared at Yu Long and tinkered with curiosity.


    "So, you''re the one who broke the curse I ced on the Phoenix n." A beautiful yet stern voice struck Yu Long''s soul.


    Yu Long shrugged and replied casually, "Yes. I don''t think they deserve much suffering after so many generations."


    "Hmm? What a wonderful soul you have." The Phoenixmented in surprise. "So bright, warm, fuzzy, yet endless."


    "No wonder you could act so calmly in my presence."


    "However, this won''t satisfy my interest..."


    "Young Human, tell me how you got in touch with Ni Xuan."


    "Ni Xuan?" Yu Long tilted his head.


    "..." The Phoenix.


    "People also know him as the Evil God."


    Yu Long connected the dots and answered, "Oh, that. I found this a few months back."


    The Evil God''s Fire Seed appeared out of nowhere and shocked the Phoenix.


    The Phoenix blinked a few times, confirming the item before her eyes.


    It''s a real one!


    "This thing is hard to crack, you know? It took me days to break its outeryer and learn the initial level of Fire Law." Yu Longined honestly.


    "Y-Y-You..."


    "You what?!"


    "Unbelievable! How could a young mortal break the restriction ced by the EVIL GOD? He''s one of the Eight Primordial Lords!"


    "Eh... But I did it. The evidence is here." Yu Long yed around with the red-colored pebble in his hand.


    ''Am I the one who''s not in tune with the world anymore?'' The Phoenix thought to herself.


    ''Did humans advance so much that the power of ancient beings was ''already'' surpassed by them?'' Her world started to crumble.


    ''No, that can''t be!!''


    The Phoenix refused to believe her imagination.


    This young human.


    Yes, this young mortal should be different from others.


    Yu Long whistled and stored the Evil God''s Fire Seed back to his inner world. He stared at the Phoenix and asked, "Uh, can we proceed with the trial?"


    "I want to experience how hard it is."


    "..." The Phoenix''s eyes twitched.


    My Trials aren''t something to trifle with!


    Do you think this ce is your backyard?


    The Phoenix sighed, "Very well..."


    "I also want to see how you passed my trials."


    "If you pass all the trials, we must have a serious conversation."


    "Sure. Start the trials, Phoenix God!" Yu Long snapped his finger confidently.


    "Phoenix Legacy''s Trials..." The Phoenix said in slight annoyance.


    "First Trial, Purgatory me Demon."


    "Oh?" Yu Long''s eyes widened in joy. The world of darkness suddenly transformed into a rocky terrain with leaves everywhere.


    So, this is the power of primordial arrays!


    Yu Long rubbed his hand excitedly, ''She won''t mind if I copy some, right?''

 Chapter 35: Third Kaiju

    Chapter 35: Third Kaiju


    --- Chapter 34 ---


    "Turn me into your kaiju!" The Phoenix said longingly.


    Yu Long was ''actually'' caught off guard. He didn''t expect the residual soul of the Phoenix to have such desire.


    Then, again. Yu Long could understand her way of thinking.


    To her, [Kaiju Maker] is a new path to live on.


    After passing the Phoenix Legacy to Yu Long, the residual soul wouldn''t have enough power to survive. She''s on herst breath if we use a moremon term.


    Yu Long sighed and answered, "Even If you want to be my Kaiju, I''m on the level where I can [Crystalize] your residual soul."


    "I''m limited to a more organic matter currently."


    "I know..." The Phoenix replied calmly. "Your mastery [Kaiju Maker] is based on your soul''s strength.""The more your soul recovers from the exhaustion of reincarnation, the stronger [Kaiju Maker] will be."


    "I was once part of the True Primordial Phoenix. Her soul is exceedingly strong, allowing us to revive from ashes through Nirvana."


    "Our body changed, but our soul stayed the same."


    "That''s why by absorbing my soul''s essence, your soul will be much stronger than now." The Phoenix added.


    "It would also recover a part of your past life''s memory."


    Yu Long frowned as he asked, "How did you know so much about [Kaiju Maker]? I thought you could only see what I experienced."


    "Indeed." The Phoenix nodded her head. "However, your [Kaiju Maker] seemed to have its innate spirit and showed me something incredible."


    "It wants me to help you."


    "Please, Honored One..."


    "You know how desperate I am...."


    "Are you sure?" Yu Long asked for thest time. He wanted to see just how determined the residual soul of the Phoenix was.


    "100%!" The Phoenix responded in a beat. There is no hint of hesitation.


    Yu Long sat down and waved his hand, "Give me the Phoenix''s Origin blood first."


    "Right away~!" The Phoenix released a small yet excited cry, summoning twenty-two drops of blood from thin air. The scarlet blood contained such a strong vitality and a dense divine aura, making Yu Kong frown slightly.


    Yu Long picked the jade bottle with the purified Phoenix''s bloodline he got from Feng Baichuan. Hepared the two bloods and groaned, "I see what I''mcking now."


    "The Phoenix''s Origin Blood doesn''t just carry her ability, but also the Original Phoenix God''s Essence and condensed Law of Fire, right?"


    The Phoenix blinked in surprise, "H-How did you know?"


    "Just a casual guess." Yu Longmented, thinking his purified version was inferior. However, he realized that Feng Baichuan''s bloodline had long been diluted over 1,000 years.


    It was a miracle the Phoenix n could still maintain such a strong vitality until now.


    ''Just a casual guess? I don''t think so.'' The Phoenix giggled in amusement.


    The Phoenix has witnessed and even experienced what [Kaiju Maker] is capable of, so she couldn''t align Yu Long''s feat withmon sense.


    Just an hour ago, the Phoenix was shocked by the young mortal''s heaven-defying action.


    He broke the curse she ced on the Phoenix n''s bloodline.


    He cracked the restriction ced by the Evil God on his Fire Seed.


    He used Light Profound Art and Darkness Profound Art, even training them simultaneously.


    Andstly, he was a reincarnated person!


    The Phoenix was fascinated like a charming youngdy outside her trial ground.


    No, Enlightened would be more fitting for the Phoenix''s situation.


    Yu Long controlled the 22 Drops of True Phoenix Blood with Yume''s [Psychic Force] and drew it close to his body.


    He adjusted his body and mumbled, "Give me the World Ode of the Phoenix as well."


    "I''ll absorb the blood while learning it."


    "E-Eh? Okay!" The Phoenix summoned a jade b and gently ced it on Yu Long''sp. "Cultivating the World Ode of the Phoenix might be hard, as it only has thetter parts."


    "Don''t worry. As long as I know the activation patterns, I can trace the World Ode of the Phoenix back to its origin." Yu Long confidently grinned at the Phoenix.


    "I might even get the trueplete version of the technique."


    "..." The Phoenix.


    It seems she was still underestimating Yu Long''s prowess.


    Wait, a question suddenly struck her mind.


    "Are you perhaps getting an inheritance left behind by God and the Devil Race? I''ve seen you using both profound strengths earlier."


    Yu Long patted his chin thoughtfully, "You mean [Art of Ghost] and [Art of Violet Mist]? No, I created them myself because mastering Yin(Darkness) and Yang(Light) sounds cool."


    "Also, having both fundamental elements as the base willy a perfect starting foundation for my future."


    "Y-You created them?" The Phoenix was too stunned to speak after that.


    Who thought of creating and mastering Orthodox and Unorthodox Paths because it was cool?


    The more she talked with the Kaiju Maker himself, the more she questioned her reality.


    If only the Phoenix knew Yu Long has a thick list of [Arts Series] in the Yu n and the back of his mind. One might wonder just what kind of shocked expression she had.


    Yu Long furrowed his brows as he activated [Thought eleration] and [Kaiju Maker] at the same time. He absorbed the Phoenix Origin Blood in a matter of a second and sorted the information about the World Ode of the Phoenix.


    A scarlet phoenix mark appears on Yu Long''s forehead, but Yu Long doesn''t pay much attention to it.


    Several Profound Arts in his head arepatible with the World Ode of the Phoenix. One is with Wood Attribute, and the other is Wind Attribute.


    Now that Yu Long thought about it, Wood Attribute is very rare.


    As far as Yu Long knew, only the Elven Race, or its branch called Wood Spirit Race, have an innate affinity with Wood(nt) Attribute.


    Yu Long didn''t count his and Lily''s [Grass Dragon''s Bloodline and Aspect] as it was self-created by him.


    "Phoenix, you didn''t mind if I modified the World Ode of the Phoenix slightly, right?"


    "Err... What?" The Phoenix was confused.


    "Haha, I take that as a yes." Yu Long''sugh echoed in the confined space.


    He closed his eyes and pulled out some parts of [Art of Wood] and [Art of Wind] to improve the World Ode of the Phoenix.


    Yu Long breathed in, converting his vitality into Wood Element and Wind Element with the help of [Grass and Gale Dragons'' Altered Bloodline].


    Wood and Wind Energy generated slowly, flowing in Yu Long''s profound veins. After that, a spark appeared on its abdomen and was magnified by the Wood-Wind Energy, bing bigger and bigger.


    Yu Long could feel a new aspect growing inside him.


    No, it''s not just one, but three aspects!


    [Wood Phoenix Aspect]


    [Wind Phoenix Aspect]


    [True Phoenix Aspect]


    Yu Long also couldbine these aspects and created [Ascended Phoenix Aspect].


    "And done..." Yu Long sped his hand, spreading ashes everywhere.


    The ashesbusted, and a gust of wind carried its force upward, causing the fiery bird to appear.


    "..." The Phoenix.


    Unbelievable.


    He sessfully modified the Profound Art tailor-made by Phoenix for her bloodline!


    Numbness is all the Phoenix could feel at the moment. Yes, too many shocks in less than two hours.


    "Next step, your Origin Energy and Soul." Yu Long opened his eyes, revealing a majestic pair of golden eyes.


    Unlike his usual golden eyes, there are fiery feelings in them now.


    "At the same, I''ll also begin your transformation into a Kaiju."


    "Finally, I can''t wait!" The Phoenix immediately forgot her disbelief in Yu Long''s action and approached him with her spirit body hurriedly.


    Their heads met with each other, releasing a dim golden light.


    The Phoenix''s Origin Energy and Soul transferred to Yu Long gradually as her spirit body became fainter each second.


    "After my revival, our status will be different." The Phoenix smiled at him.


    "So, please take care of me well."


    "Dear Master..."


    Yu Long, immersed in the sensation of [Kaiju Maker], bes more powerful. It''s also easier to control now with less energy consumption and mental toll.


    Entering the inner world, Yu Long was ''instantly'' greeted by his first and second kaiju.


    "NYUU!" Woby jiggled its body like usual.


    "My Lord." Yume respectfully weed him.


    Yu Long smiled at them and said, "It seems we are going to make anotherrade earlier than I expected."


    "Nyuu!" Woby was excited.


    Tell me it''s slime.


    Tell me it''s slime!


    "No, Woby. It''s not a slime." Yu Long helplessly responded. "I don''t want to disgrace the Phoenix by turning her into a slime..."


    "Although it would be hrious."


    "Phoenix, so Fire, and Bird... Uh." Yume has a bad taste in her mouth.


    "As an insect-based Kaiju, I have natural opposition against the Phoenix, but if My Lord said so. There is nothing I could do."


    "I haven''t even started the process..." Yu Long stared at his kaiju with a stunned expression.


    "Nyuu..." Woby waved its water tentacle and waited from afar. As a water-based kaiju, it finally realizes the Phoenix''s threat.


    Toote, Little Guy.


    Yu Long shook his head and created a small whirlwind, crystallizing the residual soul of the Phoenix.


    A deep, scarlet-colored sphere appeared in Yu Long''s hand.


    It might be a residual soul, but it''s much more potent than any essence sphere he had.


    The Phoenix is a sacred creature.


    A low-leveled essence sphere won''t bring the kaiju''s potential out.


    What Yu Long needed was the best of the best. Yes, essence spheres with simr origins andpatible power.


    "Yume, take some from the 5th pile."


    "And two from the 8th pile."


    "The best grade you could find."


    "Okay, my lord." Yume used her [Psychic Force] and brought several essence spheres for Yu Long.


    Yu Long sorted the essence spheres one by one before finalizing ten essence spheres from rare or maybe only one he had in the stash.


    These essence spheres are so rare that Yu Long didn''t think he could get them more anytime soon.


    "Well, let''s see what kind of Kaiju you''d be, Phoenix!" Yu Long shouted in anticipation.


    The eleven spheres merged slowly and caused a storm in the inner world, shaking the clouds away. Yume created a shield around Yu Long, Woby, and herself.


    A bright green light erupted, followed by a cry of a Phoenix.


    Yu Long looked up and saw a massive emerald crystal-like egg appear from the merge of high-quality essence spheres.


    The emerald egg cracked, releasing a brighter green ray.


    BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!


    An explosion urred and washed the cloud away.


    A silhouette of a great bird gradually merged. Its body is over twenty meters with a wingspan of thrice that.


    Two pairs of wings unfurled from its back, and one set is much bigger than the other.


    Emerald-like feathers covered its body, making the creature look utterly beautiful. Its jade-like tail separated into three long waves, swaying hypnotically.


    Its beak is a deeper shade of emerald, spewing golden-green me.


    Above it is a pair of gentle yet profound yellowish-scarlet eyes.


    At the top of its head is a majestic nine-pronged crown of gorgeous pure emerald.


    CAW!!


    Phoenix''s cry sted heaven and earth.


    A new ruler of the sky has been born!


    Yu Long sighed in relief, "Wee back, Phoenix."


    "No, it''s awkward to call you that..."


    "From now on, you''re Yuyan!"

 Chapter 49: Brainless Encounter

    Chapter 49: Brainless Encounter


    --- Chapter 48 ---


    Yu Long walked on the main street of Silver Lake City.


    He stretched his finger and saw a silver ring on his finger. It was a spatial ring he made in Dwarf''s Beard.


    With the highest quality Master Stone, he also added [Minor Teleportation Aspect] and [Ratio Aspect] onto this silver ring.


    [Minor Teleportation Aspect] is a profound aspect Yu Long touched on after studying Yuyan''s control over the fabric of space.


    The Phoenix is currently at the peak of the Mortal Realm, possessing the power to control Spatial Element. Although Yu Long hasn''t entered that realm yet, his study has proven sessful.


    As [Minor Teleportation Aspect] allowed him to teleport anywhere within a 10-mile radius instantly. The range depends on the level of ''Spatial Restriction'' of the realm.


    Blue Pole Star is a lower star realm, so its level of restriction is weak.


    The fabric of space is flimsy here.If it is a higher realm, [Minor Teleportation Aspect] wouldn''t be as effective as it is.


    Well, Yu Long didn''t add this profound aspect to travel anyway. He could travel faster with pure speed alone.


    So, [Minor Teleportation Aspect] is more of a dodging method in case something unexpected happens.


    Meanwhile, [Ratio Aspect] is a unique, profound aspect.


    Bluntly put, [Ratio Aspect] allowed Yu Long to hit a ''critical hit'' every time he attacked the enemy if he used game-term knowledge.


    The damage increase is around 5-10 times that base attack.


    So, a simple poke could puncture a hole in your body easily.


    On the other hand, thedies are happy with their gift.


    "Hehe~!" Xia Qingyue patted her corbone from time to time, smiling foolishly.


    Lily also grinned while thinking about something. Every step she makes makes her remember that anklet she wore.


    And there is Hong Guan. She didn''t have any smile, but she was currently rolling around and jumping in excitement in her heart.


    If Yu Long knew such a ''simple'' gift could cause this degree of happiness, he''d have given them more presents in the past.


    Binding the Temporal Critical Ring to himself, Yu Long suddenly realized something because the sun hung above his head.


    It was noon already.


    "We n to meet them at the restaurant, no?" He asked thedies.


    Xia Qingyue nodded, "Mm, they are probably waiting for us now."


    The four of them increased their pace and arrived at a grand-looking tower. The building is over three hundred meters tall, with several crystalmps that look likenterns, adding to the aesthetic.


    Above the main entrance, a ''Heavenly Gourmet Tower'' golden words written on a piece of redwood que.


    The servants have already waited at the front entrance, expecting them toe.


    "I bet Ling Ke has something to do with this." Yu Long said while staring at the female servant who approached them.


    The female servant smiled and responded calmly, "Manager has put everything on the Tab, Young Master."


    "May I escort you and thedies to the VVIP room where your family resides?"


    The way she acted attracted the attention of the people on the street.


    "Wow!" Someone was amazed.


    "I didn''t know Heavenly Gourmet Tower has a VVIP Room."


    "The ordinary room on the first floor costs ten purple coins already, and that''s over three times the annual ie of a normal family." Another bystander said with a sigh.


    "Tsk, tsk. The second to the fifth floor can be reserved if you have enough money. And you must spend hundreds if not thousands of purple profound coins every visit." A noble-looking man licked his lips.


    "Seventh to the ninth floor or the noble called the VIP sections is only reserved if you were someone with a strong background. I assume VVIP is on the tenth floor."


    "Just what makes the VIP and VVIP room so special?" The bystander asked the noble-looking man.


    The noble-looking manughed, "Haha, there is a reason why people visit Silver Lake City for its attraction. Heavenly Gourmet Tower is one of them."


    "On the Heavenly Gourmet Tower, the food you get is based on the floor."


    "For ordinary people, the first floor is good enough already as you get tasty meals. There is also arge selection of dishes anyway."


    "Still, as you step to higher and higher floors. Not only does the taste improve, but the food quality bes more nutritious and contains profound strength as it was ''actually'' made with profound beast''s meat that only profound practitioners consume."


    "I heard a rumor that a peak Earth Profound Realm expert broke through to the Sky Profound Realm when eating on the sixth floor."


    The bystanders'' eyes widened in shock.


    There is such a miraculous food in this world.


    The noble-looking man sighed, "Sadly, I didn''t have enough money to reserve the fifth floor. Besides foods, the wines from the Heavenly Gourmet Tower are ''widely'' acknowledged as the best in the seven nations."


    "As for the VIP and VVIP room, I could only imagine what those higher floors can serve..."


    The first-time visitor nced at the tower and asked, "If this ce is that great, there must be a strong person to protect it, no? There is no way such a ce with miraculous food left alone in this cruel era."


    "Pfft..." The noble-looking man was close toughing but held himself.


    "Are you the first visitor?"


    "Um, yes?"


    He shook his head gently and exined, "Then you didn''t know about the Silver Lake City''s Lord. She is an Emperor Profound Realm Expert who could even fight Tyrant Profound Realm Expert, so why would someone dare to rob this ce? Unless they are courting death!"


    "Also, there is a rumor that several masters are hiding in this city."


    "Damn..."


    "There is actually such a strong person in this city. No wonder this ce prospers..."


    The female servant stared at them and said calmly, "Esteemed Guests. If you don''t n to visit the Heavenly Gourmet Tower, I advise you not to make amotion outside..."


    After the warning, everyone continued to walk away. Still, these people nced at Yu Long and hispanions from time to time, wondering just who they were to be able to enter the VVIP room.


    Bold guesses shed in their minds.


    However, they would have never thought Yu Long was the owner of this entire establishment.


    Xia Qingyue was ''slightly'' amused by these people''s reactions. She giggled and hugged Yu Long''s left arm, "Let''s go big brother~!"


    Yu Long smiled and said, "Escort us."


    "It''s my pleasure..." The female servant responded with a happy smile as she escorted them into the Heavenly Gourmet Tower. Several guests are staring at them, but Yu Long ignores them.


    As they went to a higher floor, some noble guests were ''inwardly'' shocked to see people advancing beyond the fifth floor.


    They swore not to mess with Yu Long and hispanions because no ordinary people could enter the sixth floor. s, some brainless people aren''t happy with the extravagant treatment Yu Long gets.


    "He''s just a brat."


    "Yes, what makes him so special?"


    "Kekeke, I bet he used his Daddy''s connection to get up there."


    Some servants separated from Yu Long''s group and kicked these people out of the Heavenly Gourmet Tower instantly. Soon, piles of people are appearing on the tower''s front door. Not surprisingly, they are young nobles who only know how to use connections.


    They want to be mad, but some words from the servants are enough to strike them with fear.


    "You''re no longer wee to the Heavenly Gourmet Tower."


    "Please leave, or else we will use force..."


    They were dumbfounded. They don''t know how to exin this to their family now.


    ...


    Heavenly Gourmet Tower, Highest Floor.


    Inside a room dedicated to a massive dining table, four people are sitting and enjoying their appetizers.


    "Long''er, Qingyue~!" Yu Xin waved her hand at her son and his little fiance. "Come,e."


    Yu Long and Xia Qingyue sat down, receiving a warm wee from the four adults.


    "How have you been?" Yu Long asked while drinking a refreshing ss of water.


    "Hehe, great~!" Xu Sanshanughed joyfully.


    "We explored Silver Lake City and enjoyed our time."


    Yu Zhan nodded and added, "It''s weird that every time we want to pay something, the servant said it was on the tab already."


    "It has something to do with you, right?" He narrowed his eyes at Yu Long.


    Yu Long shrugged, "Shadow Realm owned some business here."


    "Ah... No wonder." The four adults nodded in understanding.


    Xu Nannan noticed Yu Long''s maids were still standing and said, "You two, sit down."


    "We are going to have lunch together."


    "I don''t think that was appropriate..." Hong Guan responded humbly.


    "Mm, we are fine standing," Lily added casually.


    Yu Xin crossed her arms and said, "Hong Guan, Lily. Sit down."


    "You''re no different than our family. On top of that, you two are very close with Yu Long, so you deserve better treatment than this."


    "Just sit down." Yu Long helplessly ordered them.


    "Then... Pardon us." Hong Guan and Lily picked seats and sat down.


    As the Heavenly Gourmet Tower ced dishes on their table, everyone enjoyed their lunch. All of them are profound practitioners, which means the foods not only satisfy their pte but nourish their cultivation base as well.


    After the sumptuous lunch, they were about to return to the Silver Moon Hotel when an explosion ''randomly'' urred outside.


    "What was that?" Yu Long asked the female servant from the Heavenly Gourmet Tower.


    The servant sighed and answered, "A group of young nobles are causing a ruckus outside."


    "You didn''t kick them like those rats earlier?" Yu Long spread his senses slightly. "Never mind, they actually brought four Sky Profound Realm Experts as their bodyguards."


    "I''m sorry for ourck of preparation..." The servant bowed in shame.


    "Only four Sky Profound Realm Experts?" Xu Sanshan snorted while balling his fist. "Let me beat their arrogant noble asses!"


    "No, you don''t have to, sir." Ling Ke appeared out of nowhere. She is still in her hotel attendant attire.


    "I''ll deal with them myself. Just continue on your journey."


    The group stared at Ling Ke walking away.


    "Should we watch?" Xia Qingyue was the one to propose this idea.


    "Hmm, this is going to be interesting." Yu Xin agreed with Xia Qingyue.


    "Hehe, let''s see what they got." Xu Nannan continued.


    ''Women sure love their drama...'' The males in the group thought simultaneously.


    Even then, they still go and see the drama.

 Chapter 55: An Army Outside the City

    Chapter 55: An Army Outside the City


    --- Chapter 54 ---


    Back to the Silver Moon Hotel.


    Yu Long''s parents, grandparents, and Lan Shirou are chatting with each other. However, when they learned that the Sunflower Dew Empire sent an army to Silver Lake City, the Blue Wind Empress was dumbfounded.


    "Eh, the Sunflower Dew Empire sent an army to us?" Lan Shirou blinked her eyes in disbelief.


    "The seven nations should have a peace treaty... Even if there was a conflict, it''s not to the point of sending an army."


    "Blue Wind Empire has been declining these years. The other nations didn''t take us seriously anymore..." Her expression darkened.


    As the Empress, Lan Shirou knows the politics in the Profound Sky Continent.


    "What if the conflict was rted to the son of the Sunflower Dew Empire''s monarch?" Cang Yue stared at her mother.


    "Gui Wanli''s son..." Lan Shirou frowned slightly."Can you tell me more about it?"


    "Ling Ke." Yu Long nced at the manager of this ce and continued eating his lunch.


    Ling Ke nodded and stepped forward, "Hello, Empress."


    "I''ll tell you the baseline of the story."


    "Actually... Around ten days ago."


    Lan Shirou and Cang Yue listened attentively. They couldn''t believe their ears for a moment because this woman actually threatened the son of the Sunflower Dew Empire''s monarch.


    But she did have the power to back her action.


    "This is tough. I can use my status as an empress to make them give us some face." Lan Shirou ced her hand on her chin and pondered something.


    "Still, it won''t guarantee peace between Silver Lake City and the army."


    "Shirou, are you nning to lower your head for us?" Xu Nannan asked with a helpless expression.


    Cang Yue thought the same as her mother, but she recalled Yu Long and others didn''t show any panic. They are still enjoying their lunch as if the iing army is nothing.


    "Is there any other way?" Lan Shirou returned solemnly. "If my memory serves me right, the army sent by the Sunflower Dew Empire''s monarch was most likely led by a Tyrant Profound Realm Expert."


    "An Overlord! Such a powerhouse, even the Four Great Sect in the Blue Wind Empire couldn''t fight them."


    "Aih..." Xu Sanshan sighed while giving Lan Shirou a pitiful look.


    "The fate of the weak."


    "Whimper in fear, not even knowing its surroundings."


    "Well, it can''t be helped when the Blue Wind Empire is ignorant of the outside world."


    "Empress... No, Lan Shirou. Let me give you a small piece of advice. Raise your head from now on."


    "Because you are one of us!" Xu Sanshan said, releasing his cultivation base.


    Swoosh!


    Xu Nannan, Yu Zhan, and Yu Xin also released their cultivation base. The pressure swirled in the dining room and caused turbulence that shocked Cang Yue and Lan Shirou.


    Lan Shirou held her breath. She couldn''t believe the terrifying pressure she felt at the moment.


    It felt like Lan Shirou was dreaming. But she knew very well this was reality.


    "We are not your ordinary family, empress." Watching Lan Shirou and Cang Yue''s shocked expression, Yu Xin giggled while covering her mouth with her palm.


    "And we never showed our cultivation base because it was too eye-catching."


    Yu Zhan nodded and added, "As long as we have Yu Long, there is nothing we should be afraid of."


    "An Overlord? Tyrant Profound Realm Expert? The three women standing beside him are ''Overlords'' too, you know?"


    "They what?" Lan Shirou and Cang Yue nced at Yu Long, who was savoring his steak.


    "What?" Yu Long was about to eat his steak.


    Cang Yue''s lips trembled as she realized that Hong Guan and Lily, who had been on her side all this time, were Overlords.


    ''The manager... Ling Ke, the Silver Lake City''s Lord.'' Lan Shirou thought otherwise.


    ''Then, just how strong is Yu Long?'' The mother and daughter nced at each other in realization. They didn''t realize just how mysterious Yu Long was.


    He didn''t just heal Lan Shirou''s illness but even gave them a chance to be profound practitioners.


    "What are you nning to do with them?" As the Blue Wind Empress, Lan Shirou gained herposure quickly, unlike her daughter.


    "Hmm, teach them a lesson? That sounds about right." Yu Long answered nonchntly.


    He smiled a little and added, "Do you want to watch? I''ll prepare the front seat for you and Sister Xueruo."


    How confident.


    And the front seat? As if the iing army is nothing to him.


    The more the mother and daughter thought about it, the more they were ''slowly'' caught in limbo.


    In the end, they agreed.


    ...


    After lunch, they went to the south gate of Silver Lake City and stood above the city wall.


    Ling Ke and Guwei are ordering some people, waiting for the Sunflower Dew Empire toe.


    "Hehe, I thought you wouldn''te out?" Ling Ke shed a smile to the middle-aged dwarf.


    Guwei frowned and answered, "I just want to see those idiots suffer."


    "Sure, sure, I believe in you, Number 8." Ling Ke giggled and spread her senses. "And... Done."


    "The preparation isplete."


    "Silver Lake City''s array formation has been activated. No one could enter or leave for fifteen minutes."


    "Fifteen minutes?" Guwei raised his eyebrows. "As expected of Lord Shadow, he likes to y around with his food."


    "Are you criticizing him?" Ling Ke returned casually.


    "No, I like him this way. Sending horror to an enemy is much better than defeating them instantly." Guwei shrugged and ced a cigar into his mouth.


    He snapped his finger and burned the cigar''s tip, "Hmm, I wonder if he gonna enter the battlefield."


    "Who knows?"


    At the city wall, seats are ''actually'' prepared for Yu Long and hispanions. They even have a bucket of popcorn and soda each.


    Xia Qingyue sipped the c, and her eyes lit up. "Fascinating, this cold beverage is popping in my mouth... It is also sweet and refreshing."


    "We have been in Silver Lake City for over a week, but I didn''t know this existed?"


    "You can only drink this on special asions." Yu Long answered with a teasing smile. "Or else you''ll get addicted."


    "Hmm..." Xia Qingyue pouted slightly.


    Everyone also gets the taste of popcorn and soda.


    They are amazed.


    "Salty and sweet, such a goodbination." Yu Xinmented in delight.


    "Look, they are here." Xu Sanshan warned them.


    From several miles away, a cloud of dust is approaching Silver Lake City.


    A calvary of thousands is ''bravely'' led by three Sky Profound Realm Experts and one Tyrant Profound Realm Expert.


    The leader is a middle-aged man in green armor, flying at a rapid pace. He has long white hair and a goatee.


    As they reached thest kilometer, the leader opened his mouth and shouted, "SILVER LAKE CITY''S LORD, COME AND REPENT FOR YOU SIN!"


    "That''s General Ji." Lan Shirou recognized the middle-aged man in the green man. "He''s one of the Sunflower Dew Empire''s generals and is over 900 hundred years old, I believe."


    "2nd Level of the Tyrant Profound Realm." Xu Sanshanmented in disappointment.


    "Ling Ke, go on." Yu Longzily said.


    Ling Ke nced at Yu Long and nodded, floating to the sky gently.


    She stared at the middle-aged man in green armor and responded sarcastically, "Geez, you''re too loud."


    "First, you''reing uninvited and acting obnoxiously."


    General Ji seethed in anger, "SILVER LAKE CITY''S LORD!"


    "YOU HAVE CRIPPLED FOUR ROYAL GUARDS, SIX GREAT NOBLE HEIR, AND THE PRINCE OF THE SUNFLOWER DEW EMPIRE!"


    "HOW DO YOU PLEAD?!"


    "THE CRIMES YOU COMMITTED ARE BEYOND PARDON!"


    "JUST ADMIT YOUR GUILT AND ACCEPT YOUR PUNISHMENT!"


    Ling Ke smiled and shrugged, "Crimes? Guilt? Punishment?"


    "Why don''t youe and get me to repent then? I''d like to see the power of the Sunflower Dew Empire''s General."


    "Arrogant! How arrogant!" The soldiers below shouted at her.


    General Ji growled and released immense pressure, shaking the atmosphere slightly.


    "Even if I have to make you lose some limbs, I''ll bring you down with me to the empire..."


    "Soldier, attack! Destroy Silver Lake City."


    SWOOSH!


    Ling Ke watched General Jiing for her. He has a feral look on his face, probably wishing nothing but to rip her apart.


    ''How ridiculous.'' Ling Ke shook her head gently.


    ''As Lord Shadow said... This world is gray. There is no white or ck.''


    ''History is written by the victors!''


    "DIE!" General Ji sent a palm attack, causing a flower-like energy st to fly away.


    "17th Layered Array Formation." Ling Ke hovered calmly, not moving even an inch.


    "Activate..."

    --- Chapter 55 ---


    "17th Layered Array Formation."


    "Activate..."


    Ling Ke''s voice echoed on the battlefield.


    As the attack unleashed by General Ji was about to reach her, an invisible barrier stopped and dispersed it into fireworks.


    Hexagonal patterns appeared all over the sky, surrounding Silver Lake City and the one-mile radius around it.


    "Let''s see..." Ling Ke''s eyes turned red, giving off a devilish feeling."1st Layer, Profound Vibration."


    DING!


    The surrounding area suddenly vibrated.


    The profound strength in the atmosphere experienced the same thing, causing everyone not to be able to use their hard-umted energy.


    Of course, Ling Ke and everyone on Yu Long''s side could still use their profound strength.


    General Ji''s eyes widened as he fell from the sky.


    "T-The Profound Floating Technique!"


    BOOM!


    General Ji crashed to the ground with a boom and released a painful groan as his body became weaker than it should have been.


    He crawled from the crater and stared at Ling Ke, "What have you done to me?!"


    "What do you mean?" Ling Ke curved her lips, smiling at the foolish general.


    "I''ve never touched you before."


    "Remember, you guys are the ones whoe to my city."


    "I didn''t invite you guys here. You bring yourself!"


    "You bitch, what kind of witchcraft is this?" General Ji brought out a bow and arrows, aiming it at Ling Ke.


    He shot the arrow, but it crashed into the invisible barrier around Ling Ke''s body.


    Ling Ke looked down at General Ji, "I have to say, you''re a brainless general."


    "The first rule you must do when attacking your enemy is to know them."


    "Their power and weakness."


    "However, it seems your crybaby spoiled prince is so important that he lowered everyone''s IQ in the Sunflower Dew Empire."


    "Aww, little brat cries andins at his parents. It''s always the most irresponsible ones who never taught their kidsmon sense." Ling Ke mocked without holding back.


    "Sending an army just because some trash was crippled. You should thank me for cleaning this world instead."


    "How dare you mock the Emperor and Empress!" General Ji bes angrier as he pulls out a jade bottle and eats some pills.


    Yu Long raised his eyebrow because he sensed General Ji''s sensitivity to profound strength increased by a leap. It allowed the green-armored fellow to regain his strength.


    "Interesting."


    BAM!


    General Ji kicked the ground and soared to Ling Ke. His armor released a nging noise.


    ''Die!" He pulled his fist and punched Ling Ke with everything he had.


    "Elephant Galloping Fist."


    A faint image of an elephant appeared and galloped toward Ling Ke''s barrier, but she didn''t react strangely.


    "2nd Layer, Kic Energy and Shock Absorption."


    BOOOOOOOOOM!!


    The hexagonal barrier wobbled a few times yet didn''t break.


    Ling Ke casually ced her hand on General Ji''s stomach and emotionlessly said, "Redirection."


    Crack!


    Everyone heard a bone-cracking noise.


    "ARGH!" General Ji spewed a mouthful of blood and crashed to the ground again.


    The soldiers were baffled.


    What happened?


    Shouldn''t this woman be the one who crashed to the ground and cried miserably?


    Why did their general fall instead? Something doesn''t add up.


    On the city wall, even Yu Long''s family was dumbfounded.


    "What''s happened?" Cang Yue was the one to ask first.


    "Kic Energy and Shockwave Absorption Array." Yu Long answered casually.


    "Kic Energy/Shockwave?" Cang Yue and Lan Shirou tilted their heads in confusion.


    Xia Qingyue pulled silver-framed sses from her spatial ring and wore them, "Let me exin this, big brother."


    "Kic Energy is the energy an object has because of its motion. An example of this is when one wants to throw a punch, one must apply force to move his arm, muscle, and even bones to elerate his fist."


    "On the other hand, Shockwave is a strong pressure wave in any stic medium such as air, water, or a solid substance. General Ji''s punch forced the pressure in the air to change and cause a shockwave."


    "If my guess is right, the array Big Brother talked about stores these effects and diverted them back to General Ji."


    "Am I right?" She gazed back at Yu Long with puppy eyes, yearning for praise.


    Yu Long smiled and rubbed Xia Qingyue''s head gently, "Yes, you''re right."


    "Well, you''re missing one point."


    "The array also recycles General Ji''s profound strength and generates more force on the rebound. The increase wasn''t much, maybe twice or thrice of what General Ji unleashed."


    "Poor guy, he doesn''t know what''sing to him."


    "Hmm, how I didn''t learn this from the ''Science'' book you wrote, Big Brother?" Xia Qingyue asked while enjoying her pat.


    "Then, you must learn more about Arrays." Yu Long chuckled. "Thew of science is useful but bendable in this world. Some topics are ''inherently'' better exined through personal understanding."


    Xia Qingyue nodded in understanding while others wondered in cluelessness.


    Even Hong Guan and Lily, who have been on Yu Long''s side for the most prolonged, only know the base knowledge of it. They are better with cultivation and other stuff, but this otherworldly knowledge is just too much.


    It''s not like they''re dumb, but everyone has their own interpretation.


    The perspective of everyone is different.


    Back on the battlefield, General Ji stood up again.


    He looks horrible, with a pale face and falling hair. As if he just lost five years of his life.


    Ling Ke noticed this andmented, "I see..."


    "So, this is the side effect of the pill you consumed earlier."


    "To strengthen your sensitivity and power increase, you exhaust your physique and vitality."


    General Ji wiped blood from his mouth and shouted, "Soldiers, enter the Begonia Formation!"


    "I shall end this witch''s life with my strongest technique."


    The soldiers roared, "YES, GENERAL!"


    Thousands of cavalry entered a formation and channeled their strengths into one point. A spear appeared in General Ji''s hand, bing brighter and brighter as the umted strength rapidly stored inside it.


    This energy also appears more unstable and vibrates so much than before, which cancels the 1st Layer''s effect.


    "Heavenly Spear that ends the night."


    "Hear my call and strike my enemy..."


    "HAAA!" General Ji rotated a few times and created a storm.


    He jumped and threw the spear at Ling Ke.


    A vortex surrounded the spear and rapidly moved to Ling Ke, aiming at her chest.


    "3rd Layer, Muddy World."


    "4th Layer, Silk-like Air."


    The spear''s speed rapidly slowed down as if mud appeared around it.


    The vortex is also weakening rapidly.


    Ling Ke stretched her hand and ced a single hexagonal shield before her.


    The spear arrived and touched the shield.


    DING!


    A loud bell noise reverberated, making one deaf upon hearing it.


    Crack!


    "Yes!" A small crack appeared on the shield. General Ji and the soldiers are excited.


    Ling Ke smirked and snapped her finger, causing the shield to release a green light and nullify the attack.


    All that was left was a ck spear made of an unknown material.


    "N-No way..." The soldiers felt chill down their spines.


    That''s the ''strongest'' move that makes General Ji famous.


    Heavenly Night Spear!


    Yet it doesn''t even reach its target.


    Of course, the person who''s shocked most was General Ji himself.


    "My ultimate attack..."


    "No one in the Tyrant Profound Realm should be able to counter it unless..."


    "M-Monarch." General Ji spewed another mouthful of blood and shivered like a drenched dog.


    He kneeled on the ground, bing a wrinkled mummy.


    "G-General!" The soldiers were hysterical.


    Their general was ''unexpectedly'' reduced to such a state.


    The two Sky Profound Realm Experts moved quickly and arrived on General Ji''s side, checking his condition.


    "This is bad..."


    "He''s losing too much vitality."


    "Don''t tell me he ate Life-Ending Pills..."


    One of the experts carried the general on his back.


    Meanwhile, the other stared at Ling Ke in the sky and shouted at the cavalry, "Retreat!"


    "Everyone, Retreat!"


    The battle ended in mere minutes.


    The Sunflower Dew Empire''s cavalry army lost and decided to retreat.


    Too bad they can''t simply run away.


    Their horses crashed into an invisible barrier.


    "What is this?"


    "Barrier?"


    "Hehehe~!" Ling Ke''s yfulughter brushed their ears.


    "Do you think you can run that easily after marching to my city?"


    "Tsk, tsk. Come back here, littlembs. Let me hear your cries a little."


    A nightmare had just begun.


    ...


    Silver Lake City''s wall.


    "Well, that was anticlimactic." Yu Longmented while munching his popcorn.


    Everyone stared at him and then at the cavalry army far away.


    Sure, buddy. Let''s forget the crazy shit that happened a few moments ago.


    Maybe for Yu Long, it was nothing special, but for Cang Yue and Lan Shirou especially, they would never forget this moment.


    He smiled and pped his hand, "Well, I hope you guys were enjoying the little show."


    "..." Yu Long''s parents and grandparents sighed.


    What show?


    Everything ended too quickly.


    Ignoring the look of disbelief on their face, Yu Long used sound transmission on Ling Ke and told her to proceed with the next step of their n.


    "Let''s go back."


    "Okay."


    As they returned to the Silver Moon Hotel, Yu Long stopped on the stairs and frowned slightly.


    "I felt like I was forgetting something." He murmured while rubbing his forehead.


    "Ack, the scarlet dragon."


    ...


    Hundred thousand miles away.


    Scarlet Dragon Mountain Range.


    Scarlet Dragon finally awakened from his deep slumber a week ago and noticed the unpleasant smell in his cave. At first, the profound beast didn''t think much about it but soon realized his ''treasure'' was fake.


    The small pebble stopped releasing fiery energy and crumbled into dust.


    ROAR!!


    "MY TREASURE!"


    "WHO STOLE MY TREASURE!" An angry roar shook the cave and the entire mountain range.


    The scarlet dragon raged, "THIS SMELL, IT MUST HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH THIS SMELL!"


    "JUST WAIT YOU THIEF! I WILL KILL YOU AND TAKE BACK MY TREASURE!"

    --- Chapter 57 ---


    The horror descended upon the Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Fortress.


    Not only did they lose one of their Fortress Masters in a gruesome st, but they also missed their best chance to eliminate the threat!


    The red-scaled behemoth over 100 feet long before them is ready to strike anytime.


    Its muscr and fiery body that could melt red-hot steel exudes intense power, making everyone in the Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Fortress breathe heavier in fear.


    GRR! ROAR!


    The scarlet dragon roared."What''s the meaning of this, humans?!"


    Gulp!


    Mu Tianbei swallowed nervously. Cold sweats are running all over his body.


    It''s over!


    The Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Fortress is over!


    They couldn''t possibly fight this scarlet dragon.


    Although the Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Fortress can be considered the best sect under the Four Great Sect of Blue Wind Empire, they are not profound practitioners entirely.


    They focused too much on making explosive and hidden weapons. Even their Heavenly Spear''s division isn''t the pure spearmanship path that everyone expected.


    Many people praised their sect for its status.


    Still, they are just a group of serial bombers.


    Dark Sun, their ''greatest'' creation over hundreds of years, was ''skillfully'' made with specific materials and could kill Sky Profound Realm Expert and injure even the Emperor Profound Realm.


    Yet it failed at the most crucial moment.


    "...Y-Your Majesty." Mu Tianbe trembled slightly. "That man was our sect''s traitor."


    "We don''t know he''d do such a thing to you." His tone is full of contempt toward his now-died sworn brother.


    "P-Please spare us!"


    The elders caught what their leader meant and also buttered the scarlet dragon.


    "Yes, your majesty! That man before was a coward!"


    "His action is truly disgusting!"


    "How could he sneak attack you? Pui, he deserves to die!" Someone even spat in disdain.


    "Please spare us!"


    "Be magnanimous, your majesty."


    Above the clouds, Hong Guan stared at this sight with a mockery in the corner of her mouth. "A group of animals." She said coldly.


    "They don''t deserve to live this long."


    "I should have killed them months ago."


    "At this moment, even a sliver chance of survival causes them to act like this." Yu Longmented casually. "They didn''t honor their deadrade as they cherished their lives more."


    "Normal things, especially in this petty world."


    "Didn''t we just see an army sent to our front door because of someone of higher status? These people are the consequence afterward."


    "Whimpering like pigs, hoping not to get ughtered."


    "Bully the weak, and fear the strong. The table turned around when one variable showed up."


    Hong Guan digested Yu Long''s words and nodded in agreement. She also has seen family members betraying each other to get rich.


    Deception.


    Betrayal.


    Sacrifice.


    Corruption.


    As long as youe victorious, that''s all that matters.


    "Let''s go. It''s time to reveal ourselves." Yu Long offered his right hand to the red-haireddy.


    Hong Guan stared at his hand and smiled, epting the invitation.


    Amidst the endless begging of the Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Fortress''s elders and fortress master, two people descend from the sky and look at them indifferently.


    "W-Who are you?" The scarlet dragon felt intense pressure upon sensing Yu Long and Hong Guan. His True Dragon''s bloodline trembled.


    The people of the Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Fortress are also shocked.


    They could feel that Yu Long and Hong Guan aren''t ordinary people.


    They aren''t old and could fly like the elders and fortress master, meaning they are Sky Profound Realm or above!


    And one thought surfaced in their minds.


    "Great Experts, please save us!"


    "Great Experts, please save us from this evil dragon!"


    "He killed humans and wants to devour us."


    "Haha, hahaha~!" Yu Longughed at their sudden change of face.


    Those hopeful looks sickened him more than anything.


    "Hong Guan, do you hear that?"


    "They want us to save them."


    More so for Hong Guan.


    Hong Guan''s green eyes seethed in coldness. These shameless people dared ask for help when they weren''t even on her good side.


    She was on the verge of dropping a great fireball at their faces. Still, she didn''t want to end this quickly.


    A smile appeared on her beautiful face and entranced them.


    "You want help?"


    "Sure."


    "Hand me five people from the Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Fortress."


    "Mu Gei, Mu Hai, Mu Shi, Mu Qin, and Lastly... Mu Beibei."


    After hearing the names, everyone was confused.


    They wondered how Hong Guan knew these names but followed her request. Soon, five people were brought over and kneeled on the ground.


    Two women and three men.


    They are five people who ran away from Earth Profound Beast five years ago and the preparator of Hong Wuji''s death!


    Out of the five, Hong Guan hated Mu Beibei the most because he was the one who disabled her brother''s tendon, so he couldn''t run away and be bait for a profound beast.


    "G-Goddess, please forgive us!"


    "If we have done something wrong in the past, please be kind and forgive this once. Give us a second chance."


    "We are wrong, we are wrong. You can do anything, but please don''t kill us."


    "Hic, Hic. I don''t want to die young. I haven''t married yet."


    "Spare us..."


    Five of them are pleading.


    Hong Guan descended slowly andnded on the ground near them. She emotionlessly stared at the five people and said, "Five years ago..."


    ''Oh, no...'' Everyone from the Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Fortress doesn''t feel good about this.


    "A hunter went to the Drifting Cloud Mountain Range." She continued without paying attention to everyone. "He was a skilled hunter and always careful of his pathing."


    "Nevertheless, who would have thought despicable garbage to bring him down into unwanted death."


    "He crawled out of the mountain range, even with bleeding legs. At his veryst moment, he couldn''t even meet his sister..."


    The five kneeling people paled immediately.


    A memory buried at the back of their head resurfaced.


    They visited the Drifting Cloud Mountain Range five years ago and encountered the mountain king. They thought the hidden weapon they brought was invisible but soon learned the harsh truth.


    The profound beast is way ''stronger'' than them.


    Left with no choice, they ran away. And the mountain king is too fast, catching them tirelessly even with a wounded body.


    Fortunately, they met a random peasant in the forest and used him to distract the mountain king. It was like fate giving them a chance to survive!


    But no! It''s not a chance but a curse.


    And it''s going to bite them right at this very moment!


    Karma served them right.


    "The hunter was my brother..." Hong Guan''s tears slowly dropped.


    Mu Tianbei cursed in his head, ''FUCKING BASTARDS! Why are you guys dragging us more!''


    None of them could deny Hong Guan''s story. If they could, she wouldn''t be here.


    Hong Guan stood before Mu Beibei, "Mu Beibei, do you feel guilty of killing my brother?"


    "Five years... I waited five years."


    "I hope you enjoy those five years because I''d give you 50 years worth of torture right fucking now!"


    "NOOO!" Mu Beibei wanted to run away.


    Unfortunately, Hong Guan controlled everything within a hundred meters radius as an ethereal dragon covered by ck-green scales appeared.


    BOOM!


    The sky shook violently.


    Typhoons appeared one after another, grinding Mu Beibei rapidly.


    "AAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRGHHHHH!"


    "This is just the beginning." Hong Guan''s voice gotced with poison.


    [Unorthodox - Yin Poison Dragon Aspect]


    "Art of Illusion - Temporal Blood Field."


    Mu Beibei''s consciousness was ''abruptly'' dragged to an illusion as he discovered himself tied to a cross in an unknown world. He gagged on something, and it was a spit and blood.


    ''HUU!''


    ''HUUU!!'' He panicked and saw Hong Guan appear out of thin air.


    Hong Guan gazed at him and said, "This is for my brother."


    "You caused over 215 cuts all over his body. I''ll multiply that by five million and make you suffer."


    "And don''t worry, you won''t die until I let you to..."


    Mu Beibei wished he wasn''t so arrogant and despicable. But what could he do?


    It is his karma.


    The pain he experienced is like no other.


    He couldn''t even scream anymore. It was just too much.


    After a while, Mu Beibei woke up in the same situation.


    "Huu, huu..."


    "Is it over?"


    "Can I die now?"


    "Hahaha~!" Hong Guan''s heartyugh echoed.


    "What do you mean, not even five seconds pass..."


    "F-Five seconds!" Mu Beibei''s eyes dted.


    "No, no! That CAN''T BE!"


    "KILL ME!"


    "KILL ME RIGHT NOW!"


    "STOP THIS!"


    "LET ME DIE!!!"


    Soon, fifty years passed in the illusion, yet only a blink of an eye passed in the real world.


    "End this, end this, end this, end this..."


    In the real world, Mu Beibei''s bloody body entered a praying position as he smacked his head against a boulder. He kept doing so until his head split apart.


    "Next..." Hong Guan turned around to her next target.


    "NOOOOOO!" Everyone witnessed the five people Hong Guan picked experience weird death.


    They are entering a praying position before ending their lives through a blood-curdling method of suicide.


    After thest person killed herself, silence ensued in the area.


    No one said everything.


    They didn''t even dare to breathe loudly.


    Hong Guan kowtowed respectfully toward heaven and earth, staring into the distance. "May you rest in peace, older brother."


    "I''ve avenged you."


    Wiping her tears, Hong Guan nced at the Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Fortress and the scarlet dragon.


    "Leave them alone. Your treasure isn''t with them." Hong Guan said while floating to Yu Long''s side. "Follow me, and I''ll give you the answer."


    "O-Okay." The scarlet dragon answered fearfully. His sense is much stronger than these puny humans.


    This red-haired woman is not something he could mess with.


    Mu Tianbei and others sighed in relief.


    She kept her promise.


    "Oh, it''s my turn now." Yu Long stepped forward with a grin.


    "Do you think everything is over so easily?"


    "No, no... Hong Guan didn''t mention it, but her older brother is also my teacher."


    "The only person I ever epted as one..."


    "So, Encore. Let''s start the second round!" He said indifferently.


    "The rule is simple."


    "Use everything you have to stop my attack..."


    "One chance, no repeat."


    "And it starts now." Yu Long lifted his index finger, and a burning globe of orange me appeared.


    The globe bes bigger and hotter each second, making the Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Fortress lose their fighting spirit.


    As Yu Long slowly floated to the sky, the globe now could cover the whole mountain.


    "Cruel Sun..."


    His voice dropped alongside the fiery globe.


    Everyone''s vision is ''thoroughly'' filled by the iing rotating fire sphere, knowing this is their end!


    All they could do was pray before getting turned into ashes.


    BOOOOOOOM!!


    The Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Fortress evaporated. They are gone from this world entirely.


    One might think, what if innocent people exist in the Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Sect?


    Using the Phoenix me, the fiery globe only burns people with evil hearts and bad karma.


    So, the answer is no, there are none.


    If good people exist in the Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Fortress, they are probably out and doing good things rather than staying in this corrupted ce.


    Yu Long waved his hands, and countless essence spheres manifested one after another, spiraling to his palm.


    "Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Fortress is no more." He said while storing the essence spheres in his inner world.


    "I have decided from now on, Shadow Realm will start emerging to the surface and shock the world!"

    --- Chapter 58 ---


    The news about Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Fortress''s disappearance caused a stir in the Blue Wind Empire. Even the spy from neighboring nations couldn''t help but suck cold breath upon witnessing the sheer ridiculousness of this news.


    Even though the Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Fortress isn''t the ''greatest'' sect in the Blue Wind Empire, its power is still within the top five!


    The mountain where the Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Fortress abruptly evaporates, as if nothing was there in the first ce.


    Beside a charred ground, there are no other clues.


    After a few days, the Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Fortress is ''finally'' dered destroyed.


    The reason is unknown. Maybe a conflict or revenge.As for the attacker, people don''t dare to delve deeper into the abyss.


    Fear of the unknown because this was beyond their level.


    Only Four Great Sacred Ground could possibly find something about this matter, but they aren''t free enough to do it.


    But people still specte.


    Some guessed that over ten Sky Profound Realm Experts surrounded the Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Fortress andunched a wide-area attack.


    The other guessed five Throne-level Experts do it.


    A bolder one guessed that an Overlord-level Expert or Monarch-level Expert came and decimated the mountain in three moves. Of course, people mocked this fellow for being out of touch.


    Well, they are wrong.


    The Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Fortress is gone with just one attack.


    And the attacker was not even a Sky Profound Realm Expert.


    ...


    Two months and a halfter.


    Blue North County''s Border, Golden Bell City.


    Golden Bell City is a middle-sized city within the Blue Wind Empire. It has no natural specialty, but a golden bell hangs on a stone tower nearby and bes the symbol of this ce.


    Although this ce doesn''t have a specialty, merchant caravans usually rest and restock their rations here. With a poption of over 45,000 people and a refreshing atmosphere, this ce is suitable for rxing between trips.


    A ck-haired youth is drinking a cold lemonade under a shady tree.


    His golden eyes gazed into the distance, seemingly observing the mystery of the universe.


    Ordinary people could only see blue sky and white clouds, but the youth could see much more. The outlines of the atmosphere and brighter world humans can only sense after reaching a ''certain'' stage of cultivation.


    Not far away from the youth, several women gathered under a tent and gossiped with each other. They are the youth''s family andpanion.


    "What do you think?" Yu Zhan sat down, asking his son.


    Yu Long sipped his drink and replied, "Nothing in particr."


    "Hmm, maybe I didn''t expect our family holiday to take almost three months."


    "Haha, that''s true." Yu Zhan chuckled because thedies dragged them all over the Blue Wind Empire. They stayed in Silver Lake City for one and a half months before visiting some unique ces in the Blue Wind Empire.


    They have visited sea, mountain, and even snowy terrain.


    After a while, they finally decided to return home.


    Yu Xin, who hasn''t explored much in her entire life, was pretty satisfied with their family holiday.


    "Was it a bad thing, though?" He nced at his son.


    Yu Long scratched his neck and answered slowly, "No, not really. I didn''t dislike it..."


    Yu Zhan smiled inside because his son finally acted a little more like kids his age. Having a genius son like Yu Long is an incredible experience, but Yu Zhan hopes he can cherish his youth more.


    There is a time when one wishes to experience youth and regrets wasting lives for mundane things.


    Well, what Yu Long achieved wasn''t mundane at all.


    "The Golden Bell City is going to be busy soon." He said while ruffling Yu Long''s hair. "At the time, we must continue our journey."


    "Okay." Yu Long nodded in agreement.


    Yu Zhan lifted his hand and questioned teasingly, "Also... I noticed you''re getting closer to Hong Guan. Did something good happen?"


    "None of your business..." Yu Long frowned immediately.


    "Hehe~!" Yu Zhan chuckled when receiving the cold response. He shook his head and walked away.


    Staring at Yu Zhan''s back, Yu Long sighed inwardly and recalled when he destroyed the Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Fortress. Hong Guan hugged him tightly and was so close to kissing him.


    It was probably due to a rush of emotion, but still.


    Hong Guan almost took Yu Long''s first time in this second life.


    Yu Long finished his lemonade and grumbled, "What am I? A maiden? Get yourself together, Yu Long."


    Walking to the tent, Yu Long saw the Blue Wind Empire''s empress and princess chatting with his grandmother.


    Yes, these two are following them on this family holiday.


    "We are going to move in fifteen minutes." He said calmly.


    "Tell your driver to check the carriage you used."


    "Noted." Cang Yue nodded, walking away immediately.


    "How obedient." Xu Nannanmented in amusement.


    Lan Shirou giggled and added, "Hehe, of course. I guaranteed that she would be a good wife."


    The two women nced at Yu Long, hinting at him about something.


    Yu Long knew what they were talking about and rolled his eyes.


    ''Women...'' He thought while ignoring them.


    Since the otherdies aren''t in the tent, they are probably exploring Golden Bell City. Yu Long spread his senses and grasped everyone''s location, but Xia Qingyue.


    At the same time, an intense vibration shook him.


    BOOM!


    An explosion appeared in the northern part of the city.


    "What was that?" Xu Nannan stood up.


    The same goes for Lan Shirou.


    The empress gazed at the north gate and said, "What happened there?"


    "I''ll go and check." Yu Long vanished from the spot. He quickly arrived at the northern wall of the Golden Ball City and saw Xia Qingyue surrounded by a group of bandits.


    He was about to send a sound transmission when a chilling sensation spread over the gate.


    Ice is covering the ground and wall, freezing the bandits.


    A beauty in a blue and white robe descended from the sky andnded beside Xia Qingyue.


    The beauty has an exceptional snow-whiteplexion, red lips, and ck hair.


    She has peerless elegance and pure holiness, like a fairy who had descended from the pce on the moon.


    "Is this fate?" Yu Long couldn''t help butment helplessly.


    "Aren''t they supposed to meet at the Floating Cloud City? Then, what the hell is one of the Frozen Cloud Asgard''s fairies, Chu Yueli, doing here?!"


    Chu Yueli is Xia Qingyue''s teacher in the original story.


    She was supposed to meet Xia Qingyue identally after wandering around the Blue Wind Empire. Fascinated by the girl''s talent, Chu Yueli took her in as a disciple and brought her into the Frozen Cloud Asgard.


    Xia Qingyue, who pursued power and knowledge to find her mother, agreed and became Chu Yueli''s disciple.


    Nevertheless, Yu Long has altered Xia Qingyue''s destiny, and she wouldn''t join that ridiculous sect.


    ''Hmph, I won''t let Xia Qingyue be an emotionless ice cube!'' Yu Long clenched his hand slightly.


    Meanwhile, Chu Yueli initiated the conversation with Xia Qingyue.


    "Are you okay?" Chu Yueli asked the charming-looking girl before her.


    Xia Qingyue blinked a few times and nodded calmly, "I''m fine."


    "Thank you for saving me, senior."


    Chu Yueli''s help is ''actually'' unnecessary because these useless bandits won''t pose a threat to Xia Qingyue, but thetter still shows her gratitude.


    Chu Yueli smiled behind her veil, "Good."


    "I can''t withstand seeing such a young girl getting bullied by these bandits."


    "Let me check if you''re really okay." She added while extending her slender hand.


    Pa!


    Xia Qingyue instinctively pped Chu Yueli''s hand, which shocked the Frozen Cloud Asgard''s fairy.


    "Eh?" Chu Yueli felt slightly numb in her hand.


    Xia Qingyue sighed and stated, "I''m sorry, but I can''t let strangers touch me."


    "But I saved you?" Chu Yueli has never encountered something like this before.


    Shouldn''t this girl feel grateful?


    Why did she act like this all of a sudden?


    Xia Qingyue shook her head gently, "Senior might save me, but that doesn''t mean you''re a good person."


    "Oh, you''re saying I''m a bad person now?" Chu Yueli''s mouth twitched in disbelief.


    "Yes. I was taught not to trust others easily." Xia Qingyue tly said as a matter of fact. "This world is vast, so who knows what kind of dangerous people live inside it."


    "Forget it, I don''t mind. Just give me your hand for a few seconds." Chu Yueli sighed in dissatisfaction.


    "I''m afraid... That''s not possible." Xia Qingyue stepped back a few times.


    "..." Chu Yueli.


    This girl!


    Just how cautious you can be?


    "You heard that right, icedy." Someone suddenly shouted from afar.


    A purple shnded between Xia Qingyue and Chu Yueli.


    Xia Qingyue''s expression brightened, and Chu Yueli''s face darkened.


    "And who might you be?" Chu Yueli asked with a frown. A ck-haired youth stood with a calm expression.


    "Me?" Yu Long smiled slightly. "I''m her fianc¨¦."

    --- Chapter 59 ---


    Frozen Cloud Asgard.


    A beauty is sitting in a lotus position. She wore a pure white robe with a blue sash. Her silky ck hair flowed to herp.


    A frown appeared on her beautiful face all of a sudden.


    And a pout followed by her red lips.


    Chu Yueli Pov.


    "Haa...""No matter what I do, my cultivation doesn''t show any sign of improving."


    I sighed helplessly at my cultivation speed.


    Unlike my sister, who was ''inherently'' favored by heaven and blessed with more profound entrances than others, I barely touched into the 4th Level of the Sky Profound Realm and couldn''t reach it.


    Meanwhile, she was already at the 9th Level of Sky Profound Realm. Just two steps away from bing a Throne.


    People called us ''Chu Yue Ultimate Duo'' in the Blue Wind Empire, and that''s the only resemnce we had.


    My sister is much more beautiful.


    She''s wiser than me.


    Stronger than me.


    Have I ever felt jealous?


    Of course, who wouldn''t be envious when someone is better than themselves?


    However, I''m also happy my sister could reach such a state.


    In this world, power is everything.


    I know this from a young age.


    When my sister and I got stranded due to bandits years ago, we were lucky to meet our master.


    Our master didn''t just take us as her disciples but also adopted us as her daughters. She fed and raised us until this very moment.


    However, I knew the master favored my sister more.


    I''m good, but not good enough!


    Washing my face with cold water, the sudden thought of exploring the Blue Wind Empire shed in my mind.


    It was somewhat weird because I liked to stay in the sect, but I didn''t think much of it.


    That''s right, maybe exploring the Blue Wind Empire would put my mind at ease and make my cultivation faster.


    I went to my master''s room and saw her meditating on her throne.


    My master is a beautiful woman for her age. She looks only a few years older than us despite our 100-year gap.


    Her well-covered body exudes an icy sensation. The blue dress with dark blue lining and shawls makes her even more beautiful.


    The ice-like hair draped over her shoulders perfectly matched her dim yellow eyes.


    "Yueli?" My master blinked in surprise.


    She smiled and asked, "What''s the matter of this visit?"


    I bowed and respectfully answered, "Master, I wish to venture into the outside world for a few months."


    "My cultivation hasn''t shown any sign of improving for months, so maybe a change of surroundings will help me."


    I could notice my master''s expression change slightly.


    She hates it when disciples go out of the sect aimlessly.


    I know this very well, but my decision is firm.


    After a while, my master sighed and said, "Very well, but you must bring a disciple of your own upon returning."


    "If you can''t, I''ll forbid you from going out again..."


    "Yueli, you''re like a daughter to me. I want you to be safe. What''s safer than staying in our Frozen Cloud Asgard?"


    ''Yet you let my sister out anytime she wants!?'' Imented inwardly on my master''s insincerity.


    But I couldn''t utter these words.


    I respected my master, even though she acted like this.


    "This disciple understands," I replied while kowtowing once. "I''ll bring a disciple once I return."


    "Good, tell other disciples not to disturb me for a few months. I''m going to enter a seclusion." My master let me go, but not before she ordered me.


    I slowly stood up and walked away, closing the ice door that separated my master and me.


    From now on, I''ll be free for a while.


    ...


    At first, I roamed randomly and visited some small cities.


    However, I couldn''t find something that aroused my interest.


    The only thing that''s the same is men''s lustful gazes toward me.


    My beauty is inferior to my sister, but I''m still one myself. It''s normal for men to have an interest in my body.


    I am, after all, still called the Fairy of the Frozen ss for a reason.


    Even then, I hated them.


    Men are all the same.


    I couldn''t kill those men, but lightly punishing them should be fine.


    So, they learned not to mess with others again.


    Three weekster. I arrived in a small city and heard the news about the Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Fortress''s disappearance.


    The whole sect suddenly disappeared from the face of this.


    Shocked by this news, I decided to visit the mountain range once used by the Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Fortress and discovered a massive crater with charred ground.


    Chill was ''actually'' sent down my spine. I cultivated ice-based profound arts, but I could feel coldness overwhelming my senses.


    Impossible! That''s what I thought.


    "What kind of cultivation base should one have to achieve something like this?"


    "Heaven, there was nothing left here... Not even a remain."


    Thinking of a scenario where the Frozen Cloud Asgard experienced the same demise, I couldn''t help but shiver.


    "I should tell the sect after this." Patting my throbbing chest. "Better be careful than sorry."


    "I-If only could have such a power." I nced at the charred ground and inhaled a deep breath.


    "Haha, what am I even kidding?" But then I chuckled wryly.


    Shaking my fantasy off, I flew away.


    Change of n.


    Following my instinct, I picked the opposite route I nned.


    After witnessing the state of Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Fortress, I''d wander somewhere else.


    One monthter.


    I arrived at Silver Lake City.


    This city is called an entertainment paradise.


    And it was indeed a paradise.


    I didn''t know such a ce could exist.


    Foods I have never tasted before.


    Clothes with a unique style yet stillfortable to wear.


    Even the air felt better in Silver Lake City.


    I felt ignorant for once. There are many ''wonderful'' things in this world, but I somehow choose to seclude myself in the extreme north where only profound beasts and my fellow disciple of Frozen Cloud Asgard live.


    "In the future, maybe I should bring my sister and master to Silver Lake City..." Although I said this sentence with confidence, my master probably won''t pay much attention.


    As a Frozen Cloud Asgard''s fairy, I know better that we are more like a group of monks.


    We couldn''t and should never fall in love.


    And many other restrictions.


    Staying in Silver Lake City opened my eyes a little.


    After one week, I miraculously broke through.


    4th Level of Sky Profound Realm!


    I sat on my bed andughed helplessly.


    Months after months, I tirelessly cultivated in the Frozen Cloud Asgard and didn''t get any improvement.


    Yet, staying in this city for a week allowed me to break through.


    Howughable.


    "My state of mind is much better here." Iy on the soft bed and let my head rest on the pillow. It felt much different from the ice bed the Frozen Cloud Asgard had.


    Unknowingly, I stayed in Silver Lake City for one more month. It was a wonderful experience.


    ...


    I enjoyed the scenery more and visited several cities in Blue North County.


    Unexpectedly, my taste buds that have gotten spoiled by Silver Lake City aren''t disappointed.


    Every city in Blue North County somehow had this ''special'' charm.


    One monthter, I arrived at the Golden Bell City.


    I sat on a tree and let out a sigh.


    "Aih... I didn''t realize how long times have passed."


    "Months felt like days..."


    "And I still have to find a disciple, or my master won''t allow me to get out anymore."


    As if heaven heard my pleas, I watched a group of bandits surrounding a charming-looking girl in a blue dress near the city wall.


    My eyes lit up.


    This girl is so beautiful.


    Not only that, but this girl possessed a mysterious aura that drew me in.


    She looks no older than thirteen and is definitely qualified to enter the Frozen Cloud Asgard!


    "Don''t you darey your dirty hands on her..." I said while waving my hands, sending freezing air to the ground.


    The bandits froze and became ice statues.


    "Are you okay?" I asked the girl in a blue dress.


    The girl answered me politely, "I''m fine."


    She even bowed, "Thank you for saving me, senior."


    However, as we converse more, this girl is overly cautious.


    I wanted to check if her profound veins matured or not.


    Since she didn''t let me touch her hand, I felt slightly frustrated.


    "You heard that right, icedy." Someone suddenly shouted from afar.


    A purple shnded between me and the girl.


    "And who might you be?" I gazed at the ck-haired youth. He looks handsome and dashing in his purple martial robe.


    "Me?" The youth smiled at me. "I''m her fianc¨¦."


    Unknown to myself, something beyondmon sense would happen soon.

    --- Chapter 60 ---


    Fianc¨¦?


    "This is..." Chu Yueli didn''t like this direction already.


    She wanted to take this girl as her disciple, but since she had a fiance, the n became nearly obsolete.


    Frozen Cloud Asgard only had female disciples as the female constitution leaned toward the Yin Element. This nature also makes one suitable for training ''Frozen Cloud Asgard''s profound art'' is called Frozen Cloud Arts.


    At the same time, there is a saying that love between males and females will obstruct Frozen Cloud Arts. So, female disciples must practice celibacy upon entering the Frozen Cloud Asgard.


    Of course, Chu Yueli didn''t know the truth about her sect''s profound art.Meanwhile, Xia Qingyue bloomed like a rose at its peak.


    She felt indescribable happiness when Yu Long introduced himself as ''her fiance'' to defend against this shady woman.


    "Big Brother..." She couldn''t help but gaze at Yu long with a loving gaze.


    Yu Long helplessly smiled when feeling Xia Qingyue''s intense gaze at the back of his head. What he was saying is the truth.


    Although Yu Long and Xia Qingyue haven''t formally engaged with each other, both families supported this already.


    Yu Long''s family has epted Xia Qingyue as their own, proven by how enthusiastic Yu Xin and Xu Nannan were with her presence alone.


    Chu Yueli faked a cough and said, "I see, that''s rude of me."


    "What about this? I will prove that I''m not a bad person."


    "And how are you gonna do that?" Yu Long returned immediately.


    ''This boy...'' Chu Yueli frowned because she didn''t like how Yu Long spoke to her. However, she sighed in the end.


    "My identity should be enough."


    "Hmm, go on..." Yu Long gave her a calm look.


    Chu Yueli stared at the youth''s golden eyes and said with amanding tone, "My name is Chu Yueli. And I''m from the Frozen Cloud Asgard."


    A glimmer of blue divine light appeared around Chu Yueli, adding to her profound introduction.


    "..." Xia Qingyue.


    "..." Yu Long.


    What the hell?


    Her introduction has special effects!


    "Uh, is that supposed to be impressive?" Xia Qingyuemented honestly.


    After living with Yu Long for two years, Xia Qingyue''s sense of amazement became warped and very dull. Any sects lost their worth knowing her fiance had superior cultivation techniques and resources.


    What other people have, and her fiance doesn''t?


    The line bes obscure quickly when Xia Qingyue realizes Yu Long is the key to finding her mother.


    "What do you mean by that?" Chu Yueli narrowed her eyes at Xia Qingyue.


    Xia Qingyue giggled innocently, "Oops, nothing, senior."


    "Please take it as a slip of the tongue."


    "..." Chu Yueli blinked her eyes in disbelief.


    This girl is looking down on her.


    No doubt.


    Yu Long rubbed Xia Qingyue''s head and scolded her half-assedly, "Stop that glib tongue of yours, Qingyue. You''re making Senior ufortable, you know?"


    "Haha, sorry, Senior. My fiancee is always quick with her words."


    Xia Qingyue poute, "I''m sorry."


    "It''s fine. I''ll act as if nothing ever happened." Chu Yueli shook her gently as she didn''t want to miss a disciple here.


    Yu Long smiled and introduced himself, "Well, it would be rude if I didn''t introduce myself as well. There was nothing wrong with being wary earlier, no?"


    "My name is Yu Long."


    "I don''t have any particr background to disclose."


    "And my fiancee''s name is Xia Qingyue."


    "Nice to meet you, Senior Yueli."


    "Nice to meet you." Xia Qingyue followed shortly after.


    "Xia Qingyue... What a good name." Chu Yueli nodded in satisfaction. Shepletely disregards Yu Long''s name.


    She gazed deeply at Xia Qingyue and asked, "Do you want to be my disciple, Xia Qingyue?"


    "Pardon?" Xia Qingyue frowned a little.


    Chu Yueli smiled behind her veil and continued, "As I said, I want you to be my disciple. I can feel that Frozen Cloud Asgard and you have a strong affinity."


    "Out of so many people, you stand out the most."


    "I heard that the disciples of Frozen Cloud Asgard must disregard their love life. That includes devoting myself to celibacy and numbing my heart from the emotion of love..." Xia Qingyue said solemnly.


    "Is it true?"


    "Yes." Chu Yueli answered tly.


    "It''s unfortunate, but you must separate yourself from your fiance."


    "By epting me as your master, you''re destined to live in a different world than him."


    ''Well, well, I already got attacked?'' Yu Long chuckled in amusement.


    He wasn''t angry or annoyed because Xia Qingyue knew who to choose.


    "S-Separate from Big Brother Yu Long..." Xia Qingyue''s pupils dted as her whole body trembled slightly.


    Just the thought of it makes Xia Qingyue sick.


    Her red eyes reddened in horror.


    Herplexion bes pale.


    "Haha, Senior. You''re straight to the point, huh?" Yu Longmented casually.


    "I don''t want to waste my time, that''s it." Chu Yueli crossed her arms.


    She stared at Xia Qingyue again and added, "If you want to, I can wait until you make up your mind."


    "Remember, this is your only chance to enter Frozen Cloud Asgard."


    "I don''t wanna..."


    "Eh?" Chu Yueli was astonished.


    Xia Qingyue red at Chu Yueli hatefully and shouted, "I don''t wanna join your sect!"


    "You want to separate me from Big Brother Yu Long? I''d rather die than do so!"


    "Qingyue..." Yu Long gave the girl a pat on the head. He felt touched by her words.


    Now he knew how important he was for her.


    He stretched his arm to shield Xia Qingyue and said, "Well, I''m happy that my fiancee has such a devotion toward me."


    "You should go back, Senior."


    "No amount of words could convince Qingyue."


    "..." Chu Yueli clenched her hand unconsciously.


    "Goodbye." Yu Long and Xia Qingyue walked away from the ice field.


    Chu Yueli stared at their backs and said with a deep tone, yet the word stuck in her throat. "Wai-!"


    ''If you can''t get a disciple, I''ll forbid you from going out forever...'' Her master''s words echoed all of a sudden.


    ''Forever.''


    ''Forever...''


    "Stop!"


    However, Yu Long and Xia Qingyue don''t seem to care.


    "I SAID STOP!" Chu Yueli was panicking. The ice field around her spread rapidly and swarmed over the two.


    Although Chu Yueli didn''t use her full strength, this ice-freezing wave was enough to injure an Earth Profound Realm Expert.


    As the ice approached them, Xia Qingyue''s eyes shed with dark light as she poked the air with her tiny finger.


    This small gesture caused a palm-sized symbol with a ''Quake'' character to appear out of thin air and shock the world!


    Crack! Bam!


    A shockwave generated from the ''Quake'' symbol and nullified the ice-freezing wave.


    "What''s the meaning of this, Senior?" Xia Qingyue coldly questioned.


    Although she still called her respectfully, the question is full of killing intent.


    ''As expected, I didn''t like her from the beginning.'' Xia Qingyue thought while preparing more symbols under her sleeve. Ocean Quake Art is very effective against this type of opponent, after all.


    "..." Chu Yueli''s hand trembled.


    Her eyes widened in shock.


    Did this girl nullify her ice wave?


    Chu Yueli couldn''t believe her eyes, but this was the reality she lived on.


    ''I didn''t use my full power, and the power of ice wasn''t very concentrated, but Xia Qingyue nullified it with her weird technique.'' Chu Yueli grimaced slightly.


    In panic, she just attacked someone.


    Chu Yueli also realized that Xia Qingyue''s profound energy is very stable, which means the girl has cultivated for quite a long time.


    What a monstrous talent!


    She looks no older than thirteen and already possesses such a strength.


    Chu Yueli coulde up and admit her wrongdoings.


    However, a desire deep inside told her to test Xia Qingyue more.


    It was a weird desire. Something that''s not hers.


    Chu Yueli shook her head in confusion, "I see... You''re so talented, Qingyue."


    "I offered you to be my disciple for thest time."


    "No means No..." Xia Qingyue responded indifferently.


    What a pity.


    Chu Yueli waved her hand, and an ice storm struck the area.


    Xia Qingyue poked her into the air a few times and released several symbols, shaking the air.


    KABOOM!


    Shockwaves swept the area.


    And snowkes flew everywhere.


    "Incredible..." Chu Yueli stepped back due to excessive shockwaves. She was a Sky Profound Realm Expert, but a girl two or three decades younger pushed her back.


    If Chu Yueli told this to others, she''d be aughingstock.


    In the first ce, why did she do this?


    She''s a very calm-minded person usually.


    ''It''s because you''re inferior... Even a Junior could push you like this.'' A voice whispered to her ears.


    "I''m not inferior..." Chu Yueli clenched her hand.


    ''Yes, you''re! Your older sister is way better than you!'' The voice mocked again.


    ''And the only simrity you have with her is family name!''


    ''Hehe, you''re nothing...''


    "No, I''m more than that!" Chu Yueli released her cultivation base and caused the area to freeze rapidly. Over one hundred meter radius of the area turned into an ice world.


    Yu Long observed Chu Yueli with his [Profound Sense] and [Insect King''s Vision], finding her profound strength is very unstable. And as time passed, it rapidly reached a dangerous level.


    "Qingyue, step back." He said calmly.


    "Okay." Xia Qingyue nodded and retreated behind him.


    Yu Long closed his eyes and opened them again a secondter.


    A profound, dark aura grew from his body, stretching over Chu Yueli''s domain.


    He walked forward and approached Chu Yueli with a wry smile.


    "Well, that escted quickly."


    Chu Yueli attacked Yu Long with her ice, but it always melted upon reaching him.


    In just a few seconds, Yu Long arrived before Chu Yueli''s eyes.


    "Don''t get closer!" Chu Yueli shouted at him. The temperature dropped even more.


    "Haha, you want to freeze me with this pitiful ice?"


    Yu Long chuckled andmented, "Your ice is not cold enough!"


    SWOOSH!


    Darkness enveloped Chu Yueli''s body and wrapped her like a cocoon.


    Before Chu Yueli lost her vision, Yu Long''s calm voice reached her ears.


    "My abyss is colder than your ice..."


    ...


    After a while, Chu Yueli awakened from her slumber and found herself staring at the evening orange sky.


    She was bewildered, finding this situation weird.


    She wanted to move, but ropes were tying her on the spot.


    "Wait, this is a carriage?!" Chu Yueli finally realized her condition.


    "I was tied to a carriage??"


    Inside the carriage, Yu Long''s family enjoyed the chill temperature.


    "Yu Long, this is much better than before." Yu Xin praised her son.


    "I didn''t feel much heat anymore."


    "Right? He''s so genius!" Xu Sanshan proudly said.


    The others also nodded in agreement.


    "Haha, it''s nothing." Yu Long chuckled humbly. "I simply used a ''natural'' resource."


    "I called this Profound Air Conditioner!"

    --- Chapter 61 ---


    Some carriages stopped by a river.


    Several people came out and freshened themselves, but one stayed and has never felt so frustrated.


    Chu Yueli has gotten tied to a carriage for days!


    Not only that, but others treated it like it was normal.


    No, even worse, they treated her like a cooler or air conditioner, which she never heard of.


    She, the Fairy of Frozen ss, couldn''t do anything in this situation.Shame!


    Extreme shame!


    Yu Longnded on the carriage''s ceiling andmented, "Well, well, Senior."


    "You look mad like usual."


    "Hmph!" Chu Yueli swayed her head away.


    "Aih, women are so unreasonable." Yu Long sighed helplessly.


    "First, you attacked us."


    "And now this."


    "You''re only getting tied up for a few days. At most, you only get bruises, but your physique is that of a Sky Profound Realm, so it''s not possible."


    "I could have done worse. I could kill you..."


    Chu Yueli''s expression slowly changed because she knew her fatey in Yu Long''s hands. Like he said, she could have died anytime.


    It is mercy for him to tie her already.


    Yu Long sat beside her and added, "Also, thanks to me, your pent-up ice energy wouldn''t spike your emotion anymore..."


    "Your Frozen Cloud Asgard sure had it wrong in many ways."


    "First of all, training a cultivation art that froze one''s heart from desires is a big no-no in cultivation."


    "Desire is a good thing because it is the force that keeps you moving forward. A drive if I used my words."


    "Yet you Frozen Cloud Asgard''s disciples disregard this part and turn yourself into failure."


    "What makes you different from an emotionless ice statue?" Yu Long criticized Chu Yueli to the very core.


    Chu Yueli couldn''t reply.


    She knew what Yu Long said was true.


    Frozen Heart Arts is a must-train profound art in the Frozen Cloud Asgard.


    Every disciple must reach a certain level, maintaining a calm and collected state where no desires would arouse them.


    Yes, they are no different than emotionless ice statues.


    However, Chu Yue couldn''t ept her sect getting wronged. Her master is the pce master of the Frozen Cloud Asgard. As her disciple, she must keep upholding the sect''s image.


    "This is our sect rule... Outsider has no say on this matter."


    "It doesn''t matter, your head. I must say your sect''s rule is stupid." Yu Long mocked indifferently. "With this rule, has your sect created an Overlord? Or maybe Monarch?"


    "If not, then your rule is meaningless."


    "Rule is ced to maintain something. Your sect maintains futile ambition that has no issue prevailing in this era."


    "A kid like me could defeat you. I wonder what will happen in the future."


    "Haha, think about it, Senior. Think about the real goal of your sect!" Heughed and jumped away, leaving her alone.


    Chu Yueli muted herself, but she could hear some peoplementing on her from afar.


    "Is she still not listening?" Someone asked Yu Long.


    "Yeah."


    "It''s not just her heart that likes ice, her brain too. The technique she trained must have lowered her IQ."


    "Pfft, how could you say something like that." The othersughed, making Chu Yueli feel ridiculed.


    The journey continued, and Chu Yueli gradually saw the sun reced by the white moon.


    ''Meaningless.''


    ''Purpose.''


    ''Why master and previous pce masters condone such rules...''


    Chu Yueli closed her eyes and recalled her childhood memory.


    At the time, her master was still kind and paid attention to her.


    "Remember, Yuechan, Yueli."


    "The Frozen Cloud Asgard''s founder created the sect to take ill-fated girls and make them stronger. She gave them a chance to survive in this cruel world."


    "However, she also left behind wise words... In the future, our sect will experience cmity."


    "So, I hope you can be pirs of Frozen Cloud Asgard at that time."


    "Yes, Master~!" The sisters replied with a determined expression.


    Nevertheless, Chu Yueli felt the sect''s goal be loose as time passed.


    She has read the sect''s history record and discovered the Frozen Cloud Asgard didn''t follow the tradition of taking ill-fated girls anymore.


    They began to take girls with outstanding appearance and talents.


    Yet they haven''t produced any Overlord or Monarch for years.


    Howughable!


    Chu Yueli heaved a sigh and mocked herself for being blind. She was too immersed in insecurity and focused on unimportant aspects of her life.


    If she could rewind time, she''d like to take different steps.


    ...


    The next day.


    Chu Yueli observed the sky and saw thunderclouds gathering.


    "It''s going to rain..." She smiled helplessly.


    "As if my life couldn''t get even worse."


    Yu Long whistled and sat beside her again. This time, he has a bowl of noodles in his hand.


    "Want some?" He offered with a smile.


    "No." Chu Yueli answered coldly.


    Receiving the response, Yu Long shrugged and started slurping his noodles.


    The fragrance aroma of the broth drifted from the wind, tickling Chu Yueli''s nostrils.


    It smells good.


    Growls~!


    "Ack..."


    Both of them stopped awkwardly.


    Chu Yueli''s cheeks flushed in redness. Her stomach just made an embarrassing noise.


    As a Sky Profound Realm Expert, Chu Yueli doesn''t need to eat because the profound strength in the atmosphere is nourishment for her body.


    But remember, her tastebuds were ''gradually'' spoiled after months of traveling.


    She doesn''t want to admit it, but she likes tasty food, okay?


    "Pfft-!" Yu Long covered his mouth.


    He faked a cough, "E-Ehem... Don''t worry, Senior. I will act as if nothing had happened earlier."


    "Y-You..." Chu Yueli''s face bes even redder.


    If she isn''t ''tightly'' tied by this weird rope like a prisoner, she will bury herself in a hole because of excessive embarrassment.


    Yu Long failed to contain hisughter and chuckled a little.


    He grinned and picked noodles with his chopsticks, cing them above Chu Yueli''s mouth. "Here, I made the noodles myself." He proudly said.


    Chu Yueli held her desire, but the noodles smelled too good to be ignored.


    In the end, she gave in.


    Chu Yueli pouted her mouth slightly and slurped the noodle.


    "Aahn." A moan escaped her mouth as the noodles themselves tasted godlike. It is chewy but not like rubber, with a hint of oil from leak and chicken meats.


    "..." Yu Long.


    Damn, woman!


    I thought you were embarrassed earlier.


    Yu Long wondered if this was the ''food wars'' for a second.


    Well, he could only me himself for having excellent cooking skills.


    God''s Tonguees with pros and cons, after all.


    And yes, Chu Yueli blushed in embarrassment AGAIN!


    "Do you want more?" Yu Long asked her.


    "Y-Yes, please..."


    Conquering one''s heart through the stomach, they say.


    Yu Long did it.


    ...


    The journey to the Yu n continued.


    Along the journey, Chu Yueli bes closer to Yu Long as he feeds her food in a mundane moment.


    They also talk more about their lives.


    Yu Long realized that Chu Yueli wasn''t that ''indoctrinated'' by the Frozen Cloud Asgard due to her insecurity.


    Meanwhile, Chu Yueli discovered that Yu Long is much more mysterious than she presumably thought. The youngest young master of the Yu n is talented in many aspects.


    She thought Xia Qingyue was a monster.


    No, Yu Long was the real monster all along!


    She couldn''t believe it at first, but from the ''very'' little Yu Long showed her, his prowess exceeded any geniuses. Those geniuses look like idiotspared to him.


    Chu Yueli thought her sister was one of the ''greatest'' talents in the Blue Wind Empire. Still, even she couldn''t hold a candle against Yu Long.


    "What''s today''s dish?" Chu Yueli asked the golden-eyed youth nearby.


    Yu Long showed her a te of roasted fish and replied, "Freshly caught salmon. I grilled it with some wild herbs."


    "It''s still hot, as you like."


    "Thank you..." Chu Yueli whispered as if she was a mosquito.


    It was small.


    But Yu Long heard it.


    "Hehe, can you repeat that?" Yu Long teased her.


    "Aww, my ears are itchy earlier, so I can''t hear properly~!"


    "F-Fine..." Chu Yueli sighed in defeat. She knew she couldn''t win against Yu Long.


    "Thank you."


    "I said Thank You, okay!"


    Yu Long picked the fish''s meat with chopsticks and said, "You''re wee, Senior."


    "Here, have a taste."


    Chu Yueli opened her mouth and relished the taste of Yu Long''s cooking again. She was addicted.


    After a while, she finished the fish and said, "It would be nice if you released me from this rope. I can eat by myself."


    Yu Long shook his head and returned, "Unfortunately, I can''t."


    "You should have noticed it by now. The rope was ''purposely'' created with unique materials that absorbed one''s profound strength."


    "However, its function remains vague no matter how you try to sense it, no?"


    "It keeps puzzling me until now." Chu Yueli nodded.


    "Then, I''ll tell you the truth." Yu Long ced the te away. "This rope actually absorbs the Yin Energy generated by the Frozen Cloud Arts you cultivated."


    "And transfer it to me..."


    "Y-You what??" Chu Yueli was shocked.


    Yu Long smiled and snapped his finger, causing several snowkes to appear.


    Chu Yueli''s eyes widened in disbelief.


    "H-How did you use Frozen Cloud Arts?"


    Yu Long made the snowkes swirl gently, "Because your so-called ''Frozen Cloud Arts'' is an iplete technique."


    "It''s a defective cultivation art created for others without Ice Phoenix''s bloodline could train it."


    "By reducing the requirement, the profound arts contained a fatal weakness..."


    "It is a weakness that could destroy Frozen Cloud Asgard if the outside world knows."


    "Tell me." Chu Yueli responded firmly.


    "Are you sure?"


    "Tell me the weakness!"


    Yu Long gazed into her eyes and said, "Your sect was lying..."


    "What?!"


    "Frozen Cloud Arts store ice energy into its practitioner''s body."


    "And the fatal weakness of this profound art is that any males who have a physical rtionship with the practitioner will also inherit her cultivation alongside the energy she had painstakingly umted through vital yin."


    "The saying that love between males and females will obstruct Frozen Cloud Art''s cultivation is false. It''s a lie to keep you ignorant."


    "But you still take innocent girls outside and bring them to your sect, allowing them to walk on a thin thread of ice... They are in danger if others know about this matter."


    "Your sect will be hunted."


    "You''ll be no different than cultivation resources, a pitiful livestock for others..."


    "A chaotic end."


    "N-N-No way..." Chu Yueli''s world crumbled.


    Her breathing bes heavier.


    Her body released cold sweat non-stop.


    "Calm down, Senior!"


    "Calm down!" Yu Long pinched her cheeks.


    "How could I calm down in this situation!" Chu Yueli shouted back in anger.


    Tears areing from her eyes.


    All this time, she believed the Frozen Cloud Arts was the way.


    Her master taught how ''important'' the profound art was for the Frozen Cloud Asgard. Yet she never told her about this matter.


    Every disciple.


    Her sister.


    Everyone!


    Chu Yueli shivered and gazed at Yu Long hopefully, "I-If you know this, then you should have a way to solve it, right?"


    "Please tell me you have the way."


    "Please..."


    "Honestly, I have researched Frozen Cloud Arts for over a year." Yu Long scratched his nose. "I did discover the way to solve this problem."


    "But..."


    "Ites with a price."


    "Price, price... I''ll do anything." Chu Yueli was desperate. "I''ll do anything as long as you tell me the method."


    Yu Long shook his head helplessly and answered, "Be my servant, or maybe Maid?"


    "Not just you, but the entire Frozen Cloud Asgard."


    "So, I could protect you guys under my jurisdiction."


    "After that, I will also alter your body and Frozen Cloud Arts to be more suitable with each other."


    "This is difficult..." Chu Yueli has aplicated expression.


    "The decision is yours." Yu Long shrugged casually.


    "By the way, You will be the first test subject in this matter."


    Chu Yueli bit her red lips and answered, "T-Then, I will be your maid from now on!"


    "I''ll devote my mind, body, and soul to you."


    "Please ept me, Young Master."


    ''That was easy.'' Yu Long hides a grin with his palm.


    "Very well, Yueli. I hope you follow me wholeheartedly from now on."


    "Yes!" Chu Yueli answered with unyielding determination.

    Chapter 63: The Family Holiday is Over


    I have added this fanfic to my P4treon Page. You can support me and read advanced chapters there. It motivate me to write more chapters for you guys!


    Link: /NineClouds69


    --- Chapter 62 ---


    Drifting River City, Yu n.


    "Phew, we finally arrived at home!" Yu Xin let out a satisfied yawn.


    After traveling for roughly three months, she was happy spending quality time with her family. They have visited countless cities and enjoyed many natural ces of tourism.


    In the past, Yu Xin couldn''t even dream of stepping outside the Drifting River City. She felt thankful to her son for creating the artifact so she could move freely without exposing herself to the Four Great Sacred Lands.


    ''But still... The possible daughter-inw increased by two in just a few months.'' Yu Xin nced at Cang Yue and Chu Yueli.


    Yu Xin doesn''t know whether she should cry orugh at her son''s greatness.Of course, she doesn''t have a problem with Yu Long having more than one wife. After all, polygamy is ''normal'' here.


    In the past, Yu Xin heard a king of a distant nation had over three hundred concubines.


    "Yu Long, you better treat them well." Yu Xin gazed at her son''s golden eyes.


    "What?" Yu Long responded in confusion.


    "Treat who?"


    "Just remember my advice." Yu Xin shook her head because Yu Long was sometimes such a goofball, but he was not that dense. He caught hints very quickly.


    She nced at Xia Qingyue and smiled, "Qingyue, monitor him well."


    "If you ever see him gone astray, you must lead him to a proper path."


    "..." Yu Long''s mouth twitched.


    What do you mean by gone astray?


    If I want to be a horrible person, this world won''t be this peaceful anymore.


    And this statement is true.


    Even in his first life, Yu Long didn''t know the limits of [Kaiju Maker].


    He was ''simply'' limited by the essence of an immature mutated world.


    However, this world is different. Yu Long can trace everything back to the primordial era where Gods and Devils lived.


    He might even touch the beginning of Primal Chaos.


    Xia Qingyue''s face brightened as she replied, "Leave it to me, M-Mother!"


    "Aww, you''re so adorable~!" Yu Xin hugged her soon-to-be daughter.


    Meanwhile, Lan Shirou nudged her daughter a little.


    "Don''t lose to Qingyue."


    "Remember, Yu Long is your champion."


    "Your chance isn''t low."


    "Mother, how could you say that? Yu Long and I are too young..." Cang Yue refuted Lan Shirou''s words. However, the blush on her fair cheeks failed to hide emotion.


    Lan Shirou shook her head because having a rtionship with a talented youth like Yu Long is the key to the future. She wasn''t the opportunistic kind of a woman as she was ''originally'' a farmer girl who luckily met the young Blue Wind Empire''s emperor years ago.


    She has taught her daughter how to be a virtuous, kindhearted, and humbledy.


    Right now, what Cang Yue needs is more confidence and drive to build her future.


    Xu Sanshan and Xu Nannan walked to the Yu Long and said, "We are going to visit the Eternal Night Royal Family''s hidden ancestral burial ground."


    "Do you want to follow us?"


    "We talked about this to your parents a while back."


    "No, thanks." Yu Long answered casually.


    "Hehe, I know you''d say that." Xu Sanshan chuckled helplessly. "You heard him, Nannan."


    Xu Nannan sighed andmented, "Fine, you win."


    "Are you betting on my decision?" Yu Long was speechless.


    "Something like that." They answered simultaneously.


    The grandparents nced at each other andughed.


    "Come on..."


    Yu Long felt his grandparents were so unreliable.


    "If you want to arouse my interest, bring me some souvenirs when you return instead."


    "What kind?"


    "I don''t know, artifacts, profound arts'' records, or maybe Eternal Night Royal Family''s remains... Something like bones or their essence blood."


    "..." Xu Sanshan.


    "..." Xu Nannan.


    This brat literally asked them to escape their ancestors'' tomb.


    "Seriously?"


    "Serious, Serious." Yu Long affirmed twice with a smile on his face.


    Xu Sanshan pondered about this matter for a second. As the oldest royal member in this era, he could decide what to do regarding the Eternal Night Royal Family before Yu Long wanted to inherit this position.


    Taking some remains of the death would be deemed immoral no matter how one sees it.


    However, Xu Sanshan has witnessed Yu Long''s prowess in profound patterns and aspects.


    The youngest prince is a real deal!


    If their ancestors'' remains could push Yu Long''s research even further, giving some shouldn''t be a problem. Xu Sanshan was sure the ancestors would understand his decision.


    It''s only natural.


    "Very well. We''ll be back in one or two months." Xu Sanshan replied positively.


    "See you soon, grandson!" Xu Nannan waved her hand and bade farewell to others before vanishing.


    Waving his hand back, Yu Long expected his grandparents to bring surprising gifts.


    Yu Long turned around and said, "Well, it''s time to do our job properly."


    "The holiday is over."


    ...


    One dayter.


    With the addition of Cang Yue and Chu Yueli, Yu Long''s courtyard became more vibrant.


    One is the princess of the Blue Wind Empire.


    The other is the fairy of the Frozen Cloud Asgard.


    Their status did hold some weight.


    "Hong Guan, Lily." Yu Long called for his maids.


    "Yes, Young Master. What''s yourmand?" They responded while standing before him.


    Yu Long rubbed his chin and said, "Hong Guan, give me a report about the main headquarters''s situation in thest three months."


    "Lily checks the array formation around Tanky."


    "Okay."


    "Easy peasy!"


    They disappeared like fleeting shadows, shocking Cang Yue and Chu Yueli.


    ''So fast, they are at least Tyrant Profound Realm Experts...'' Chu Yueli thought solemnly. She gazed at Yu Long, finding this situation rather ridiculous.


    However, it seems she was making a great choice to be his servant.


    So what if the Frozen Cloud Asgard experiences a cmity? As long as Yu Long was here, the so-called ''cmity'' is nothing.


    "Don''t stare at me like that." Yu Long waved his hand at Chu Yueli. "What you know and have seen about me is a mere tip of the iceberg."


    "You''ll learn things slowly."


    "The same goes for you, Xueruo."


    "Understood." Cang Yue nodded with a smile. She was happy when Yu Long called her ''Xueruo'' instead of the princess.


    "What about me?" Xia Qingyue pulled the corner of Yu Long''s sleeve. She looks adorable when asking this question.


    Yu Long chuckled, "Just focus on integrating [Art Series] into your [Ocean Quake Symbols]. Your technique has potential, Qingyue, believe me."


    After watching Xia Qingyue match Chu Yueli''s ice wave a week ago, Yu Long recalled that her profound art was simr to Whitebeard''s Tremor Tremor Fruit(Gura Gura no Mi) Ability.


    Of course, Gura Gura no Mi wasn''t as good as [Ocean Quake Symbols].


    After all, [Ocean Quake Symbols] could still grow by integrating more profound arts.


    In Xia Qingyue''s hand, [Ocean Quake Symbols] will be a profound art that shakes heaven and earth.


    "Hmm, I mastered Water and Lightning..." Xia Qingyue mumbled to herself. "What element should I add next?"


    "Wind." Yu Long advised. "Wind is versatile, and you can increase the range of your vibration with it. Remember, you have learned ''shockwave'' from my science book."


    "Then, I''ll add [Art of Wind] to my profound art." Xia Qingyue pumped her fist excitedly. After that, Xia Qingyue gave Yu Long''s cheek a smooch to mark her territory and went to her room.


    The corner of Cang Yue''s mouth twitched, "This girl..."


    "My past actions are foolish." Chu Yueli sighed in defeat.


    She wanted to separate a girl like Xia Qingyue from Yu Long. What a big dream she had.


    Yu Long walked away and said, "Follow me."


    "From now on, you will be Shadow Realm''s Shadow Brides."


    "You must maintain sector zones under Shadow Realm''s jurisdiction and serve me."


    "Chu Yueli, you''ll be responsible for the North Sector."


    "Xueruo, you''ll be responsible for the West Sector."


    "Don''t make mistakes because you will face heavy consequences." Yu Long led them to the underground facility and opened a new world for bothdies.


    "T-This is..." Chu Yueli trembled in fear.


    "..." Cang Yue felt her legs be jelly.


    What they currently saw is a massive yard with countless Shadow Agents walking around. Each of them possesses the power to destroy any noble ns and even sects in the Profound Sky Continent.


    They also noticed a massive hole where arrays flowed down and generated more profound strength in the atmosphere.


    This ce is a hundred, if a thousand, times better than the outside world.


    Yu Long opened his arms and stated, "Wee to the Shadow Realm."

    --- Chapter 63 ---


    Three dayster.


    Drifting River City, Yu n.


    Inside an underground facility and sealed research room, Yu Long sat on afortable chair and stared at Chu Yueli calmly.


    He drank a Heart Opening Liquid and said, "Chu Yueli, have you ever thought that this world isn''t as simple as it is?"


    "I have..." Chu Yueli answered honestly.


    "But it was merely children''s thoughts, Young Master.""Not worth mentioning."


    Yu Long shook his head slightly and chuckled, "What if I told you there is a higher realm out there."


    "Let''s not mention Sky Profound Realm, even Sovereign Profound Realm or what we have widely known as ''Monarch'' among powerhouses in the Profound Sky is nothing there. Monarchs only qualified as servants."


    "Not only do the people out there possess a better cultivation base, but they also see ''Monarchs'' as nothing but ythings."


    "Profound God? No, that''s merely a starting step to the Divine Realm." He mocked this low-star realm''s ignorance.


    But then again, it was a good thing because Blue Pole Star is safe from Divine Realm''s influence.


    With the amount of God''s Legacies on this, some greedy people won''t hold their hands back.


    "Young Master, how could you joke like that..." Chu Yueli responded with a helpless expression.


    Yu Long stared at her eyes yfully, "Do you think I''m lying, Yueli?"


    "Remember, what kind of master you served..."


    Chu Yueli''s body trembled a little as she tried to calm herself down from this shock. He''s right.


    She just became Yu Long''s Shadow Bride three days ago.


    She witnessed indescribable things, starting from the power of Shadow Realm and the fact that Yu Long built this organization at the age of seven.


    At the age of freaking seven!


    When she was seven, Chu Yueli and her sister were ''merely'' groveling in the forest with no sense of direction. Meanwhile, Yu Long achieved more things than her.


    Not to mention many things Yu Long invented that no other factions on the Profound Sky Continent. The matter of Heart Opening Liquid and Heart Sensing Art alone is shocking enough already, but no.


    Yu Long goes over and beyond, inventing profound patterns, aspects, and incarnations. Over five years, Shadow Realm has more than enough power to conquer the Profound Sky Continent.


    Shadow Realm hasn''t exposed itself to the real world yet. However, Yu Long has ordered the organization to initiate the first n.


    Soon, the Profound Sky Continent would experience a turbulent change.


    "Phew..." Chu Yueli patted her chest and made them jiggle a little.


    Yu Long maintained his poker expression but cursed inside. This woman is so clueless about her actions.


    Chu Yueli opened her mouth and said, "There must be a reason why the young master told me this, right?"


    "Yes." Yu Long nodded calmly. "It has something to do with your Frozen Cloud Asgard."


    "Or deeply connected more than you thought."


    "You know about the ancestor of your sect, no?"


    "Yes." Chu Yueli nodded attentively. "She appeared more than a thousand years ago and took ill-fated girls, building the Frozen Cloud Asgard with the base of her high attainment toward the ice element."


    "That ancestor is someone from a higher realm." Yu Long tly said.


    "Pardon?" Chu Yueli couldn''t believe her eyes for a moment.


    Yu Long smirked, "Yueli, my family actually had a deep connection with your sect. Your ancestor is a friend of our first queen."


    "Eternal Night Queen saved your ancestor, who was in a horrible condition. In return, She gave us a prophecy."


    "Prophecy..." Chu Yueli struck in realization. "Eternal Night Queen."


    "Y-Young Master, are you perhaps..."


    Yu Long smirked, "Yes, I''m the youngest prince of the Eternal Night Royal Family."


    "Well, let''s put this matter aside."


    "As I tweaked Frozen Cloud Arts around, I discovered the weakness you have learned recently. At the same time, I also traced its original form."


    "I believe there is a better version of Frozen Cloud Arts in your sect, but no one could cultivate it."


    "Yes, it''s called Frozen End Divine Arts." Chu Yueli affirmed his im.


    Yu Long snapped his finger and created snowkes in the room, dropping the temperature rapidly. "Ice Phoenix God Investiture Canon, this is the original form of Frozen End Divine Arts. Frozen Cloud Arts is merely an inferior version of it."


    "Ice Phoenix God Investiture Canon..."


    "Ice Phoenix."


    "It seems you have connected the dots." Yu Long ced his chin on the back of his hand.


    Chu Yueli''s lips trembled, "The reason no one could cultivate Frozen End Divine Arts... Is it because we don''t have the corresponding bloodline?"


    "The bloodline of Ice Phoenix, no wonder."


    "Correct." Yu Long smacked his hand and created a small bird with icy blue feathers. "Ice Phoenix God Investiture Canon is Profound Art that originates from the Ice Phoenix, one of the Three Supreme Water Attribute Beasts."


    "An existence from the Age of Gods."


    "With such resistance, only a handful of people could cultivate beside the bloodline bearer."


    Chu Yueli stood silently on the spot, feeling like she was an ant in this universe. What was she proud about in the past? People give her the title Fairy of the Frozen ss, but it means nothing.


    Yu Long noticed Chu Yueli''s expression and said, "Don''t look so depressed."


    "I already modified Frozen Cloud Arts to make it stronger and no less than its original form."


    "However, why don''t we put this a step further."


    "Chu Yueli, I''ll give you ten drops of altered Phoenix''s bloodline. It will boost your innate talent and make you soar like Phoenix."


    "Your task is to endure it. Or else you''ll die."


    "I''m your servant and test subject." Chu Yueli said firmly.


    "I already devoted myself to you."


    "Good." Yu Long bit his finger and created ten small floating blobs. Each releases an ''extreme'' chill.


    Chu Yueli swallowed heavily. She could feel radiating powering from these drops of blood.


    "Calm your heart, and ept my blood." Ten drops of blood suddenly prated Chu Yueli''s body.


    She groaned in pain as she dropped to the floor miserably.


    Her eyes widened in fear because the blood was too much.


    "Y-Young-!" Chu Yueli tried to call Yu Long, but his dim golden eyes greeted her instead. It makes her sober.


    Chu Yueli gritted her teeth and entered a lotus position, running Frozen Cloud Arts.


    Yu Long watched snowkes covering Chu Yueli and forming a cocoon around her body. The altered bloodline has reached her bone marrow, heart, and eight main meridians and changed them.


    Three hourster.


    The cocoon cracked and exploded into pieces.


    Ice mist filled the room as a cold beauty appeared.


    Her wless, desirable body was ''proudly'' disyed. Especially that twin mountains and sizeable rear because she only wore a thin robe made of ice threads.


    She has a few strands of white hair falling from her head, but it''s not the type of hair you''ve seen from old age. Her white hair is lustrous and silky, creating the illusion of falling snow when flowing with her ck hair.


    As she opened her eyes, a pair of icy blue eyes revealed.


    ''Damn... This world and its beauty standard.'' Yu Long couldn''t help but blink in disbelief. He stared at Chu Yueli''s new appearance respectfully and admitted her beauty was at the same level as Hong Guan.


    No, Chu Yueli has this icy charm that Hong Guan doesn''t have.


    Meanwhile, Chu Yueli clenched her hand and felt her body''s strength increase by leaps. There are no impurities in her body anymore.


    She even obtained Heavenly God''s Spiritual Veins. All her profound entrances are ''simultaneously'' unblocked.


    "Chu Yueli greets Young Master." Chu Yueli kneeled on the ground.


    "I didn''t know how to repay the Young Master''s kindness in this lifetime."


    "From now on, I''ll try everything to satisfy you, Young Master." There is a hint of hope in her voice when saying this line.


    Yu Long waved his hand casually and said, "It''s nothing."


    "We are not done yet." He added while handing a book to Chu Yueli.


    The words ''Chronicle of Frozen World'' are written at the top.


    "Yuyan,e here."


    "Hehe, I''m out!" Yuyan appeared and neutralized the coldness in the room. Her fiery presence makes Chu Yueli nervous.


    "Hello, Chu Yueli."


    "I''m Yu Long''s humble servant and originally the residual soul of Phoenix God."


    "And I''m here to teach you."


    "Young Master is a busy person, you know? He has no time to train you."


    "Although I''m a Fire Phoenix(formerly), I know Ice Phoenix and her profound art isn''t that unfamiliar to me." She confidently pushed her chest upward.


    "Three months." Yu Long stared at Chu Yueli. "I give you three months to familiarize yourself with Chronicle of Frozen World."


    "After that, we will show the world Shadow Realm''s first affiliated sect."


    "Understood!" Chu Yueli felt a little more excited than she should be.


    ...


    Three monthster.


    In the Blue North County, a sect suddenly appeared out of nowhere and announced itself to the world.


    Several factions received invitation letters.


    "You''re invited to attend the opening ceremony of our sect."


    At the bottom of the letter, they saw three bold characters painted with golden ink.


    Lost Heaven Sect.

    --- Chapter 64 ---


    Blue North County.


    Chain Clouds Mountain Range.


    In a mighty mountain range, a row of stairs led to a majestic building with a dark-tiled roof. Tall rocky walls encircled the building and the mountain range itself, having a great river flowing on the east and a volcano on the west.


    Several white clouds hang over the building, causing sunlight to fall on specific points.


    At the entrance of the majestic building, a ck stone stood firmly. The ''Lost Heaven Sect'' characters are ''naturally'' carved at the top and release dim golden light.


    Beneath the ''Lost Heaven Sect'' characters are words of wisdom."Human, Earth, and Heaven are the foundations of the universe."


    "We are Humans and walk on Earth... Yet we couldn''t grasp Heaven."


    "Heaven may be kind but confining. Then we might as well reach over Heaven!"


    "One''s body is the boundary."


    "One''s heart is the path."


    "One''s spirit is the force."


    "With all foundations, one may find the Lost Heaven..."


    A mysterious rhyme surrounded the ck stone and enchanted anyone who read it. If one stands long enough, one''s soul would get sucked into a pure whitend of enlightenment.


    Of course, you can''t stay there for too long, or you''d be an idiot.


    The building will appear ''bigger'' than it seems on the outside. There are clean tiled floors, greenery on the side of the road, and several courtyards connected to the main building.


    Array formation could be seen on the building, interlocking with an area of one hundred thousand miles as if the whole mountain is simply the body of the building.


    At the foot of the mountain range, carriages were ''neatly'' parked as people overcrowded the area.


    "So, this is the Lost Heaven Sect." Said a man in a yellow robe. A solemn look stered his face because the new sect was more imposing than he thought.


    He nced around, knowing they were ''likewise'' invited to the opening ceremony of the Lost Heaven Sect as well.


    He spotted some famous people and added, "It seems even the Four Great Sect of Blue Wind Empire is ''simrly'' also invited."


    Heavenly Sword Vi, Ling Wuguo.


    Burning Heaven n, Fen Duancang.


    Xiao Sect, Xiao Juetian.


    And Frozen Cloud Asgard, Chu Yueli.


    "Brave, so brave." The man in the yellow robemented. "I wonder how Lost Heaven Sect maintained its face before these masters."


    Fen Duancangughed, "Sect Master Xiao, you attended this matter personally? It seems Xiao Sect put so much importance on the Lost Heaven Sect."


    "Fen Duancang, I merely visited to see how great the Lost Heaven Sect was. My Xiao Sect has no rtion with this new sect." Xiao Juetian answered with a frown.


    "After the Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Fortress''s disappearance half a year ago, the sudden emergence of Lost Heaven Sect aroused my suspicions."


    "Is that so?" Fen Duancang shrugged.


    "What do you think, Elder Wuguo? You''ve been staring at the stairs for a while now." The elder of Burning Heaven n asked the humble-looking elder nearby.


    The elder has a sword strapped on his waist. He nced at Fen Duancang and replied calmly, "You two underestimated this sect too much."


    "Everyone received the invitation from Lost Heaven Sect with a clue but no trace. It''s enough to alert my Vi Master, so he sends me here."


    They felt a chill sensation and saw Chu Yueli calmly staring at the sky.


    "It''s been a while, Fairy Chu." They greeted her.


    Chu Yueli nodded and responded humbly, "Hello, Elders."


    Her melodious voice caused a ripple in their hearts.


    Even Ling Wuguo, who has sharpened his Heart of Sword, couldn''t help but suck cold breath.


    Chu Yueli currently wore a frosty blue veil over her face. However, it couldn''t conceal her wless skin, dainty eyes, and calm aura.


    "I haven''t seen Fairy of the Frozen ss for a while, but you definitely look more beautiful than before." Xiao Juetian praised.


    "You might even surpass your sister by now." Fen Duancang nodded in agreement.


    "You''re also stronger than before..." Ling Wuguomented slowly.


    Chu Yueli opened her mouth, "Thanks for thepliment, but there is a gap between me and my sister."


    The three elders thought Chu Yueli was humble.


    They would have never thought in their wildest area that Chu Yueli agreed with their statement.


    She wasn''t talking about the gap, with her on the bottom.


    After bing Shadow Bride, Chu Yueli knew she had exceeded her sister in every field.


    It''s all thanks to her young master.


    Around a week ago, Chu Yueli returned to the Frozen Cloud Asgard with a female shadow agent who acted as her disciple and shocked her master.


    Not only was she advancing beyond her master''s belief.


    She also brought over a talented disciple.


    Her current cultivation is the 7th Level of Sky Profound Realm.


    "Esteemed Guests, I wee you to the Lost Heaven Sect." Someone suddenly announced.


    Everyone stared at the staircases again and saw a red-haired woman in a purple robe standing calmly. She''s a beauty, especially with an alluring body and face.


    ''Hong Guan.'' Chu Yueli blinked in surprise.


    The red-haired woman smiled and continued, "My name is Hong Guan, and I''m the First Elder of the Lost Heaven Sect."


    "Please follow me inside. The ceremony is about to start."


    Some people wanted to say something, but when they sensed Hong Guan''s cultivation base. They shivered and shut their mouths.


    "T-Tyrant..." Fen Duancang''s mouth twitched in disbelief.


    "Fuck, Lost Heaven Sect have a Tyrant Profound Realm Expert on their side." Xiao Juetien cursed between his breaths.


    Ling Wuguo shakes his head helplessly because showing her cultivation base as an ''Overlord'' and not bothering to cover it means the Lost Heaven Sect is showing its dominance to them.


    She''s warning them not to make trouble.


    Everyone thought the same thing, ''If the Lost Heaven Sect''s elder is already this strong, how powerful is the sect leader?''


    ''Vi Master is Emperor Profound Realm Expert and is considered one of the strongest masters in the Blue Wind Empire. Just where did this Lost Heaven Secte from?'' Ling Wuguo thought this seriously.


    A sect must have a foundation and background.


    Heavenly Sword Vi, for example.


    Their ancestor was a disciple of the Heavenly Mighty Sword Region and left the sect due to his low talent.


    There is also the Divine Phoenix Empire with a deep foundation as it started from a sect and possesses a holy ce, such as the Phoenix Trial Ground.


    Ling Wuguo was sure the Lost Heaven Sect had no connection with the Four Great Sacred Grounds. However, this is also why he was baffled at the moment.


    What the hell does ''Overlord'' do in this barren empire?


    Blue Wind Empire hasn''t produced ''Overlord.'' for a long time. No, they might not even have any.


    Hong Guan didn''t care about their thoughts as she walked upstairs.


    Chu Yueli was the first to step out and follow her.


    "Let''s go..." Ling Wuguo said to Fen Duancang and Xiao Juetian.


    Today, they are walking to the den of monsters.


    After walking for a while, they arrived at a massive tform, and ahead of them were more stairs.


    "Everyone, stay on your spot." Hong Guan snapped her finger, and the tform released dim white light.


    Ding!


    They miraculously arrived at the entrance of the Lost Heaven Sect.


    Gasps escaped their mouths.


    "T-This is Teleportation Array..." Ling Wuguo couldn''t contain his shock.


    "H-How did the Lost Heaven Sect possess such a thing."


    Hong Guan smiled and answered, "You''re wrong. The one I used is the Space-Folding Array."


    "So, I didn''t teleport you guys. The two spaces are ''simply'' folded and connected."


    Everyone breathed with a dumbfounded expression and noticed the profound strength here was many times purer than outside.


    Fen Duancang mumbled, "If I cultivate here, I could achieve twice the result with half of the effort."


    "Yes... It''s unbelievable." Xiao Juetian added.


    As they entered the front gate, the ck stone caught their attention.


    "Human, Earth, and Heaven..." Ling Wuguo felt the deep meaning behind the words of wisdom. He tried to find the essence, but how could he, whose sensitivity is so low,prehend Profound Aspects?


    His mind literally turned upside down a secondter.


    Hong Guan giggled, "The sect master left this ck stone behind for the young generations. You can stay here to feel its mystery, but you will miss the ceremony."


    "Lost Heaven Sect''s Master." Everyone gazed at the ck stone solemnly.


    Just what kind of person this sect master is?

    --- Chapter 65 ---


    Over three hundred guests walked into the courtyard. Theye from third-grade sects to first-grade sects like Heavenly Sword Vi, Burning Heaven n, Xiao Sect, and Frozen Cloud Asgard.


    However, walking on the white-paved floor of Lost Heaven Sect really makes them feel like country bumpkins. It is because every building material in this ''new'' Sect costs a fortune.


    From road to wall, even the freaking greenery on the side makes their eyes twitch in wonder.


    "White Course Mystic Gravels."


    "Sunrock and ck te Stone."


    "Even the rare Air Changing Willow Tree." Someone well-versed in business murmured in disbelief."No wonder the profound strength in the atmosphere is so pure. The tree alone could purify energy in the one hundred meter square if ced long enough."


    Ling Wuguo sighed, thinking that even his Heavenly Sword Vi wasn''t this extravagant.


    Rich!


    Lost Heaven Sect is too rich!


    Chu Yueli shook her head at their reaction. She is also shocked when she knows how wealthy the Shadow Realm is.


    Shadow Realm''s revenue is more than seven nations in the whole continent.


    Even the ck Moon Merchant Guild didn''t know about this because they operated in micro-sized businesses, such as food and clothes fields under everyone''s nose.


    But then again, no one knows.


    They are moving and living in the shadows.


    After walking for five more minutes and enjoying the scenery, they arrived at the courtyard where several Lost Heaven Sect''s disciples lined up in a martial arena.


    Several seats were ''neatly'' ced on a wooden tform to face the martial arena, each made withfortable materials.


    On the center, farthest seat, a purple-robed man sat calmly. He had a tall but toned build, long ck hair, and wore a tribal white mask that resembled a demon.


    Purple and red auras are swirling around him, giving them a mystic feeling.


    ''Fuck, we can''t sense his strength at all.'' The guests thought solemnly.


    All they felt when seeing the Lost Heaven Sect was a massive mountain overshadowing them.


    They felt like an ant before him.


    ''Haa... Vi Master, it seems you''re making a great choice of sending me here.'' Ling Wuguo clenched his hand instinctively.


    The Heavenly Sword Vi''s Master was suspicious about the Lost Heaven Sect''s invitation, so he sent the elder with the most wisdom. If it was any other elder, Ling Wuguo was afraid they wouldn''t show enough respect toward this great master.


    Xiao Sect''s Leader felt overwhelmed but happy at the moment. As the leader of his Sect, he could decide to form a connection with the Lost Heaven Sect''s leader right now.


    Others aren''t so lucky because they sent representatives here.


    "Lost Heaven Master, the guests have arrived." Hong Guan bowed to the purple-robed man.


    The Lost Heaven Master nced at the guests and nodded, "Please sit down. The ceremony is about to get started."


    ''Even his voice carries so much power.'' Some people thought when hearing Lost Heaven Master''s deep voice.


    They sat down, and some disciples immediately ced pleasantries for them, such as food and drinks.


    At first, they thought it was normal.


    But then they realized the foods and drinks are ''actually'' made with rare ingredients, and only the First-ss Sect could afford these inrge amounts.


    The Lost Heaven Master raised a cup and said calmly. "This toast is for everyone."


    "Enjoy the banquet of Lost Heaven Sect''s opening ceremony."


    "Let''s start this with a festive spirit!"


    Music started ying as beautiful dancers appeared in the martial arena, showing exquisite movement.


    The elder of Chasing Thunder Sect gulped nervously and tasted the food, feeling his profound strength boil in excitement.


    Collective gasps echoed on the wooden tform.


    "This is..."


    "My cultivation shows a sign of breakthrough."


    "Miracle, what a miracle!"


    Fen Duancang covered his mouth in delight, "If only I could eat this kind of food every day. It''s simply too expensive."


    "You said that, but even as a Sect Master, I can''t afford to do that." Xiao Juetian chuckled helplessly.


    The mood bes merrier as the sight of beautiful dancers and the sounds of music capture the spirit of Lost Heaven Sect''s opening.


    Everyone is so impressed.


    They would have never thought a newly opened Sect possessed such a deep pocket.


    ROAR!


    All of a sudden, a mighty roar echoed on the mountain range.


    Everyone stopped and lifted their heads, watching a massive creature descending from the sky.


    It was a dragon.


    Scarlet Dragon!


    Burning Heaven n''s Elders, Fen Duancang stared at the 100-meter-long profound beast and trembled. "E-Emperor Profound Beast."


    "Damn, there is an Emperor Profound Beast in the Lost Heaven Sect?!"


    "That''s Lost Heaven Sect''s guardian beast, Scarlet Dragon." Hong Guan was ''quickly'' introduced to everyone. She smiled and added, "He''ll be staying for the opening ceremony."


    The Scarlet Dragon opened his mouth and said, "Humans, I hope you give my Sect a deserved respect, or you''ll regret it."


    Every guest awkwardly nodded their heads.


    They didn''t know it wasn''t a warning but an advice.


    After that, the Scarlet Dragon nced at the purple-robed man on the highest seat andnded on the ground nearby.


    ''He only sent his avatar.'' The profound beast thought to himself.


    ''Well, that''s expected.''


    ''He''s probably watching somewhere else-!'' However, when the Scarlet Dragon gazed around and spotted a familiar person in the martial arena, his slitted eyes widened in shock.


    As the music stopped ying and the dancer retreated, a ck-haired youth in a purple martial robe slowly entered the Martial Arena.


    The profound beast wanted to curse but held himself back.


    ''Fuck, Shit, Motherfucker. What are you doing there?!'' Well, his mind is something else.


    The youth''s appearance caught everyone''s attention.


    "What a handsome youth." Said a female guest.


    "Mhm, I can''t disagree with you." Said another female guest.


    "At a young age, he already has such a devilish charm."


    The youth is over 160 centimeters with a lean and toned build.


    That devilish yet handsome face was ''perfectly'' crafted with sharp eyebrows, a high nose, and thin lips.


    He also has bright golden eyes that seemingly probe the maiden''s heart, making him even more charming.


    Although he wore a loose purple martial robe and ck pants, they couldn''t hide some of his well-developed muscle and youthful spirit.


    "Master." The youth bowed to the Lost Heaven Master.


    "Mm." The Lost Heaven Master responded with a nod.


    After that, he bowed to guests, "Esteemed guests."


    "My name is Yu Long. I''m the head disciple of Lost Heaven Sect."


    "Today, I''ll demonstrate our Sect''s Profound Arts."


    "S-So young..." Someone couldn''t help but utter.


    "He looks no older than sixteen and a head disciple?"


    "Are you dumb? He literally greeted the Lost Heaven Master as his master!" Another guest rolled his eyes.


    "Ah, does that mean?"


    "Yes, he''s the disciple of the Sect Master."


    Everyone fell into realization.


    Ling Wuguo, Fen Duancang, and Xiao Juetian gazed at Yu Long with interest and curiosity.


    A disciple of such a great master shouldn''t be ordinary.


    But something felt off.


    How to put it, this youth feels no special besides his appearance.


    Ling Wuguo couldn''t sense anything from Yu Long.


    ''His profound energy is concealed. I can''t sense his cultivation base.''


    ''His breathing is too normal. I can''t sense how powerful he is.''


    ''If he''s the disciple of the Lost Heaven Master...'' Ling Wuguo nced at the Lost Heaven Sect''s Master, finding the man leaning on the chair rxedly.


    What a rxing position.


    The Lost Heaven Master must be confident in his disciple''s ability.


    "Before we start... Does anyone have a question?" Yu Long uttered casually.


    "How old are you, Junior?" One female guest asked curiously.


    Upon hearing this question, every guest''s ear perked up.


    They stared at Yu Long and waited for his reply.


    Yu Long smiled and replied honestly, "Twelve."


    "..." Everyone.


    "Hahaha, old age has affected my ears." Someoneughed helplessly.


    "Twelve years old."


    "Profound Veins only matured at the age of 14..."


    "Good joke, junior. Good joke." The female guest giggled in amusement.


    Yu Long shook his head gently and responded, "I''m telling the truth."


    "I''m indeed 12 years old."


    "My disciple would never lie." Lost Heaven Master suddenly said, causing the guest to shut their mouths.


    Chill prated their spines as the invisible pressure was ''slightly'' released by the purple-robed man on the highest seat.


    Yu Long sighed helplessly, "There is a rare case when one''s profound veins matured earlier. And I''m one of them."


    "Then... If I may know, what''s your current cultivation base?" Ling Wuguo asked this time.


    "Hmm, showing it would be faster." Yu Long responded.


    As everyone''s eyes focused on Yu Long, they could finally sense his profound strength. It was pure and dense.


    Crack!


    Some people unconsciously shattered cups in their hands.


    "P-Peak..."


    "Earth Profound Realm..."


    Watching the shocked expression, Yu Longughed like a viin in his heart.


    ''Hehe, This is what I call hiding in in sight.''

    Chapter 67: Lost Heaven Sect (3)


    I have added this fanfic to my P4treon Page. You can support me and read advanced chapters there. It motivate me to write more chapters for you guys!


    Link: /NineClouds69


    --- Chapter 66 ---


    "12 years old..."


    "10th Level of Earth Profound Realm."


    "It''s not an overestimation to call him a Half-Step Sky Profound Realm either."


    "What a monstrous genius!"


    Every representative of sects in the Blue Wind Empire sucks a cold breath.


    They couldn''t imagine how Yu Long achieved this at such a young age.His age is literally a quarter of theirs or even more!


    The handsome-looking youth smiled at them innocently, making them feel worthless. Humans alwayspare themselves to others, and when they feel inferior, they can''t help but look down on themselves.


    Shock.


    Disbelief.


    Jealousy.


    Awe.


    Fear.


    These emotions pulsated in their hearts.


    Third-ss and second-ss sects are the majority of guests. And their representatives aren''t any better than Yu Long.


    They felt embarrassed, to be honest.


    Even the female guest who asked Yu Long earlier couldn''t help but blush at her own ignorance.


    She shouldn''t have asked this handsome-looking little monster! Aih, the curiosity of a woman is endless.


    "So, any more questions?" Yu Long asked them once again.


    He continued to say, "Feels free to ask. I don''t mind that you were doubting me. After all, no one would believe such a young Profound Practitioner would reach this level."


    "It''s simply ridiculous."


    Feel free in your head!


    You''re ridiculous!


    They wanted tosh out at this little monster but knew they couldn''t.


    The Lost Heaven Master literally watched them from behind, observing their reaction silently. A little bit of his pressure was enough to make them release cold sweat like a wet dog, so they didn''t want to imagine what would happen if he was angry.


    ''Oh, pitiful humans... If only you know the real monster is watching you suffer for his amusement.'' Scarlet Dragon thought at this sight. The profound beast shook his head and kept quiet.


    Yu Long nced back slightly. His golden eyes met with the Scarlet Dragon''s eyes.


    ''Fuck! Don''t notice me, don''t notice me, don''t notice me!'' Scarlet Dragon prayed and looked away.


    Unfortunately, none of the guests noticed the Scarlet Dragon''s weird reaction.


    Yu Long let the Scarlet Dragon be and heard someone responding to his words earlier.


    Cough!


    "Ahem, please continue, Junior." Ling Wuguo said calmly after clearing his throat.


    Yu Long nodded and walked to the center of the martial arena. He closed his eyes and breathed in, giving everyone a feeling of extreme focus.


    He opened his eyes and revealed a pair of golden eyes with shing electricity.


    "Lost Heaven Sect focused on three foundations of the universe." Yu Long breathed out and narrated.


    "Human, Earth, and Heaven."


    He clenched his hand and brought it up, "We cultivated three sensitivity of transcendence!"


    "Sensitivity of one''s body."


    "Sensitivity of one''s heart."


    "And the sensitivity of one''s spirit."


    "Human, Earth, and Heaven... Then, body, heart, and spirit." Everyone felt familiar with these lines.


    "Ah, the ck stone at the entrance." Ling Wuguo smacked his forehead in realization. "It was ''purposely'' left behind by the Lost Heaven Master for the Lost Heaven Sect''s disciples. I see that the principalities are the foundation of this sect."


    He frowned and whispered in confusion, "I understand Body and Heart, but Spirit?"


    Yu Long entered aid-back stance with one hand behind his back and said, "From now on, I''ll only demonstrate the sensitivity of one''s body."


    "Elder Guan, please..."


    Hong Guan nodded and snapped her fingers.


    "O-Oy, isn''t this too much?!" The guests watched the array of formations around the martial arena change abruptly. Over a thousand ballistics appeared and aimed at Yu Long.


    Without warning, Hong Guan activated the array andunched rain-like arrows toward Yu Long from all sides.


    Yu Long leisurely walked around and watched arrows slowly reaching his eyes.


    He smirked and somehow faded, making the arrows pass through his body as if he were a ghost.


    Each step isn''t fast but rhythmic in limited space.


    Soon, the step sounds faded, leaving only the arrows'' shing noise.


    Everyone''s eyes widened as Yu Long''s presence and breath disappeared from the martial arena.


    They thought he had died already, but as the ballistics stopped firing arrows, they could see Yu Long standing in the arena unscathed.


    There are ''deeply'' charred groves on the paved ground as if someoneunched a ground attack.


    "To possess sensitivity of the body means physical senses are constantly at 120%. To put it briefly, oversensitivity. Your body feels so light that you feel like you could do anything in your own boundary."


    "120%... Constantly at that. Is that even possible?" Someone wondered after watching Yu Long. "This is too extreme."


    Since most cultivated profound strength because it was the norm, they abandoned body training and focused more on profound arts and skills.


    Controlling 100% of their physical prowess is so tough.


    And to maintain it constantly is nearly impossible.


    They most likely break their bodies apart rather than gain more power.


    Of course, it was different for Sky Profound Realm Experts.


    To reach the Sky Profound Realm, one has toprehend oneself(whether it is one''s body, energy, or skills) to soar freely.


    Almost everyone chooses energy because their bodies will be stronger when they break through anyway.


    That''s what every Profound practitioner at the Peak of Earth Profound Realm thought.


    Still, What if the two elementsbined?


    "Human, Body..." Fen Duancang tried to connect the dots, but his perception was too poor to understand the Lost Heaven Sect''s principality.


    Xiao Juetian looked down and stared at his wrinkled hand, "Body..."


    "Xiao Sect always focused on Wind-based Profound Arts. We trained our body but mainly used it to make our profound skills flow more smoothly."


    "Our essence is solely based on this principle."


    "For years..."


    Ling Wuguo blinked and solemnly stared at his hand, which was ''actually'' filled with calluses from swinging his sword too much. It was a method to make him more in-one with his sword.


    For an elder of Heavenly Sword Vi, his sword is his lifeline.


    Yu Long smiled when he saw these people trying to grasp ''oversensitivity'' and shook his head. They have long believed Profound Veins and Entrances are everything.


    He didn''t say it was toote for them toprehend this, but the younger generation would have a better chance.


    The only way to cheat this is Heart Opening Liquid.


    "Lost Heaven Sect has a way of raising one''s sensitivity. However, it was quite expensive." Yu Long suddenly said.


    "Wait, what?!" The guests immediately red at him.


    Yu Long waved his hand to calm them down and brought out a white pill with a blue flower mark, "This pill is called ''Heart Linking Pill'' in the Lost Heaven Sect, and we use it to enhance one''s sensitivity temporarily."


    "After a few usages, you''ll get used to the enhancement and increase your sensitivity naturally."


    Hehe, they didn''t know that the Heart Linking Pill is a waste part of Heart Opening Liquid. Its effect is 0.1% of the Heart Opening Liquid, which is useless for the Shadow Realm as it was piling up in their warehouse for years but ''useful'' for these ignorant cultivators.


    "Such a miraculous pill!" Ling Wuguo''s eyes lit up.


    "Haha, calm down, seniors." Yu Long put on a troubled look as their gazes were too intense. "We can discuss this matterter. I haven''t demonstrated the sensitivity of the body."


    "Oh, that''s right!" They felt embarrassed again.


    Yu Long smiled and continued, "For the next demonstration, I''d like to invite some seniors to the Martial Arena."


    "Anyone with peak Earth Profound Realm cultivation maye and fight me!"


    "..." The guests'' mouths twitched simultaneously.


    After watching Yu Long''s performance, they have no confidence to fight him. They are going to embarrass themself if theye to the arena.


    Fight you?!


    Hell fucking NO!


    However, at this very moment, a greater force pulled them into temptation.


    The Lost Heaven Master opened his mouth and said, "Anyone whoes to the stage and fights my disciple may receive 10 Heart Linking Pills for free."


    His calm voice makes them shiver.


    The representatives from 1st ss and 2nd ss Sects gritted their teeth and stood up from their seats. They looked at each other bitterly and jumped to the martial arena.


    Eleven people are at peak Earth Profound Realm.


    ''Heh, there are more people than the young master has guessed.'' Chu Yueli smiled when seeing these clueless people entering the martial arena.


    ''Well, the more people enter the arena, the more fun young master have.''


    Chu Yueli licked her lips, ''Fun, huh? After absorbing Young Master''s blood, a desire awakened from the depth of my heart.''


    ''It was a shameful desire, but I couldn''t do anything about it.''


    ''After being tied up for over a week, I felt restless to be this free...''


    ''Aah, Young Master.'' Chu Yueli stared at Yu Long longingly.


    Yuyan, the Perverted Phoenix, is a bad influence, after all.


    Yu Long cupped his hand and said, "Senior, please advise me."


    "But to make it short, why don''t all of youe together?"


    "This..." The eleven Earth Profound Realm Experts nced at each other.


    Isn''t Yu Long looking at them too much?


    "Do it." The Lost Heaven Master said indifferently.


    "If my disciple loses, you''ll be given twenty more Heart Linking Pills."


    The eleven Earth Profound Realm Experts gulped.


    "Hehe, I hope you don''t regret this junior."


    "I won''t hold back."


    "You brought this up to yourself."


    "Yes, yes. Juniors should know their limits."


    Yu Long entered theid-back stance again and said, "Well, we will see about that."

    --- Chapter 67 ---


    Under everyone''s watchful gaze, Yu Long entered aid-back stance with several wed openings. His right arm is behind his back, and the other is on his hip.


    The eleven Peak-Earth Profound Realm Experts stared at this monstrous junior solemnly. They couldn''t afford to look down on him.


    If they won, it wouldn''t be a pleasing victory because they are bullying kid with numbers.


    And if they lose, it would be the most embarrassing moment of their lives.


    In this lose-lose situation, the Lost Heaven Master''s promise of giving them 10 Heart Linking Pills by participating alone could make them feel slightly better.


    The concept of sensitivity is proven new, and they are eager to learn it.Once they could grasp the core of sensitivity, their power-! No, their sects might be ''stronger'' in the future.


    Yu Long would beughing his ass off if he knew what they were thinking right now.


    Unless they are one in ten million geniuses, they won''t understand the meaning of Humans, Earth, and Heaven in ten years.


    Not to mention, the effect of the Heart Linking Pill is garbage.


    "Let''s start." Yu Long said with a smile.


    Ding!


    Hong Guan snapped her finger again, and an array formation barrier appeared around the martial arena.


    "The barrier will prevent any attacks from escaping the arena. We don''t want other people to get injured, no?" She giggled when the other guests stared at her.


    "Understandable." Ling Wuguo and others nodded in understanding.


    The 3rd and 2nd ss Sects'' representatives will ''identally'' get hurt if there is no barrier. Compared to the eleven people and Yu Long in the martial arena, they are too weak.


    In the martial arena, Yu Long is ''quickly'' surrounded by eleven people.


    He put on a helpless smile because they weren''t holding back.


    "Junior, remember. Don''t be too arrogant, even if you''re a Peak Earth Profound Realm like us." A middle-aged man said while crouching on the ground.


    "We have more experience than you!"


    The middle-aged man pounced like a tiger, creating a small shockwave behind him. His hands spread like ws, aiming at Yu Long''s thighs.


    It looks like a wrestling move.


    "T-That''s the Red Tiger Climbing the Mountain!" Someone uttered in shock.


    "It''s a famous profound skill from the Red Tiger Sect."


    "To think the middle-aged man is actually an elder from that sect."


    Meanwhile, Yu Long smirked and shook his head. He lifted his leg slightly and kicked the middle-aged man on the chin, sending him back.


    Pa!


    The middle-aged man''s vision bes ck.


    Thest thing he could discern was a fleeting shadow of movement, that''s it.


    "..." Everyone blinked and silently watched the middle-aged man faint with a bubbling mouth.


    What the fuck happened?!


    Ling Wuguo, Fen Duancang, and Xiao Juetian frowned.


    At that very brief moment, Yu Long concentrated his power into a single point and kicked his enemy on the chin. It was so fast, almost lightning-like, so only some people could see it.


    "What a strong physique."


    "120%..." Ling Wuguo finally realized how ''important'' sensitivity was.


    It''s not just sense that exceeded the ''normal'' standard, but also the boundary thates with it.


    Spatial Awareness.


    Proper cement.


    Extreme Physical Control.


    These three points are the basics Profound Practitioner should have.


    Shaking off their shocks, the rest of the fighters finally moved.


    They unleashed their profound skills, sending a flurry of attacks like palms, fists, and kicks.


    Each attack was ''skillfully'' imbued with profound strength and could break a massive rock apart easily.


    Yu Long gave them a knowing look and stomped the ground, causing a shockwave to blow upward. After that, he approached one of them and stretched his hand.


    "What-!" The Peak Earth Profound Realm Expert couldn''t even react as a hand smacked her abdomen mercilessly. She fainted and experienced the same fate as the first fallen, with a bubbling mouth on the ground.


    The rest was speechless.


    "Uh, you can use your weapon, seniors." Yu Long scratched his cheek andughed awkwardly.


    Say that earlier!


    You eliminated two of us already!


    Since this was only a spar, they thought using weapons would be too much.


    Without weapons, their strengths won''t be at their peak.


    Yu Long could see five people bringing out swords, two bows, one spear, and one whip.


    ''Well, This will be fun. Breaking themon sense of these cultivators would bring more attention to the Lost Heaven Sect. I like it.'' Although Yu Long didn''t show his emotion, he''s currently grinning inside.


    "Junior, prepare yourself!" The sword-wielding senior shouted at Yu Long.


    He and four other sword-wielders rushed toward Yu Long, disying their shy sword ys.


    "Sun Moon, Thunder sh!"


    "Death Wish!"


    "Thousand Storm Dance!"


    "Take my Judgment Cut!"


    "shing Sky!"


    Yu Long read the profound patterns of each technique and swung his right hand. The punch is filled with ''tyrannical'' force and sweeps everything in its path.


    BOOM!


    cklight escaped his fist and swallowed the sword shes, causing an explosion.


    Yu Long was about to finish the five sword wielders when a spear came out of nowhere.


    He tilted his head to the left and dodged, seeing a ck line in the corner of his vision.


    "Well..." Yu Long lifted his hand and caught the ck line.


    Pulling the ck line, a stupified middle-aged woman squealed in surprise and flew to Yu Long.


    "H-How?" She didn''t expect Yu Long to sense her fast whip, catch it, and even pull it to himself.


    Yu Long pped the spear with his other hand and greeted the middle-aged man with a punch.


    "Uugh-!"


    Everyone hissed when Yu Long punched the poor middle-aged woman in the stomach.


    "Damn, this boy is merciless!" Someone said.


    "He doesn''t even lower his power when punching an elderly woman..."


    "...To be kind to your enemy is to be cruel to yourself." Chu Yueli, who hadn''t opened her mouth for a while, said indifferently.


    "It doesn''t matter what gender your enemy is."


    "But this is only a spar..." A female guest pouted.


    "And 12-year-old Junior could kill them anytime if this isn''t a spar."


    "So, What''s your point?"


    Chu Yueli stared at the female guest and added, "Are you going to say that in the life and death situation? If yes, then I suggest you stop cultivating and live as a normal person from now on."


    "After all, you won''t survive long with that mindset."


    "Remember that ''Profound Way'' isn''t an easy path to tread. We sacrifice something we dear off one way or another to be stronger."


    "Fairy Chu is right." Ling Wuguo continued while stroking his beard.


    "In a battle, giving your enemy a leeway is a fatal mistake."


    "Even if it was a spar, you shouldn''t hold back."


    "Profound Way is not a child''s y, girl." Fen Duancang chuckled at the female guest. "It seemed this was your first time visiting the outside world."


    "It''s always the soft-hearted ones who die first." Xiao Juetian sighed helplessly. "Remember Fairy Chu''s words well."


    "U-Understood." The female guest paled and nodded silently.


    The fight continued as Yu Long left several afterimages in the martial arena and struck the spear-wielding man with his casual punch.


    Two more experts were down, leaving seven people.


    "Everyone, use everything you have!" The leading sword-wielding man said solemnly.


    "Junior, we truly underestimated you."


    "It''s nothing." Yu Long answered calmly.


    The sword-wielding man smiled and continued, "Prepare yourself. We will unleash our strongest attack."


    The bow-wielding experts drew their bowstrings as the five swordsmen advanced again.


    Yu Long watched sword shes flying in the air and approached him.


    He wanted to blow them away like earlier, but an arrow intercepted his movement.


    Swoosh!


    A row of arrows shot by another archer also cut his possible way out.


    Everything is perfect.


    Yu Long couldn''t possibly dodge their attacks now!


    ZSSSS!


    The sound of sizzling suddenly appeared.


    Their eyes'' widened because Yu Long''s movement speed exceeded their sense. He moved so fast, destroying each sword sh, and even caught the arrows with the gap of his fingers.


    After that, they saw Yu Long calmly stand while others were lying on the floor.


    He lifted his hand and dropped pieces of sword and arrows.


    The sounds of the metal piece falling on the ground awaken them from this unbelievable sight.


    "W-What was that..."


    "I blinked once, and everything ended already."


    "Senior Ling." Fen Duancang and Xiao Juetian nced at Ling Wuguo, who had fallen into a deep thought.


    Ling Wuguo''s lips trembled as he mumbled, "Oversensitivity. What if 120% isn''t the limit..."


    "..." Fen Duancang.


    "..." Xiao Juetian.


    Abnormal! That''s what they thought.


    What Yu Long did earlier was abnormal to this world''smon sense.


    Fen Duancang gulped and gazed into the distance, seeing countless disciples of the Lost Heaven Sect watch this fight with uninterested expressions.


    "Even if the other disciple is weaker than Yu Long, they are still a force one shouldn''t underestimate."


    "This is Lost Heaven Sect." Xiao Juetian''s brows rubbed against each other.


    Soon, there will be no Four Major Sects anymore.


    It would be Five Major Sects!


    Lost Heaven Master pped his hand and praised Yu Long, "Good job."


    "Hehe, I''m in a good mood. Every guest shall receive 10 Heart Linking Pills."


    "Eleven people whoe to the stage will be rewarded with five additional pills plus the amount I promised earlier."


    He stood up and shouted, "Hahaha, This is my Lost Heaven Sect!"


    "From now on! I DECLARED THAT LOST HEAVEN SECT OPEN TO THE PUBLIC!"


    "LET''S THE WORLD WITNESS OUR EMERGENCE!"


    "May the Lost Heaven return to us!" Hong Guan excitedly chanted.


    "May the Lost Heaven return to us!" The disciples followed.


    Yu Long also raised his hand and said amusingly, "May the Lost Heaven return to us!"


    The guests felt their souls shaken by the Lost Heaven Master''s voice.


    Their minds are in disarray, but one thought is resurfacing.


    A new era has begun!

 Chapter 69: A Storm, The Emergence of Super Sect

    Chapter 69: A Storm, The Emergence of Super Sect


    I have added this fanfic to my P4treon Page. You can support me and read advanced chapters there. It motivate me to write more chapters for you guys!

    --- Chapter 68 ---


    In 23 hours, information about the Lost Heaven Sect is circting the Profound Sky Continent. Of course, the source is none other than the ck Moon Merchant Guild.


    The emergence of the Lost Heaven Sect shocked everyone.


    An unknown master.


    An unknown riches.


    A peerless talent that no one has ever seen before.


    Series of principality and unique medicine opened a whole unexplored opportunity for the Profound Practitioner, a sign of a new era.The Lost Heaven Sect appeared out of nowhere like a ghost and swept the Blue Wind Empire-! No, the Profound Sky Continent as if they are a storm!


    The topic of ''sensitivity'' has been spread to all the sects in the Blue Wind Empire. With the newly introduced Heart Linking Pill, they can obtain a small and shocking result.


    Their cultivation speed increased, albeit slightly.


    Blue Wind Empire shook!


    Every sect wants a piece of pie from the newly appeared Lost Heaven Sect. And the Lost Heaven Sect is kind enough to sell them in a limited amount.


    For example, the 3rd and 2nd Sects could only get 100 and 200 pills.


    The first-ss sect gets 300 and 400 if the Lost Heaven Sect likes them enough.


    Heaven Sword Vi, Burning Heaven n, Xiao Sect, and Frozen Cloud Asgard get 600 pills with a lease.


    A week passed quickly, and the craze of buying the ''Heart Linking Pill'' became widespread like a forest fire. Unfortunately, Lost Heaven Sect only sells a certain amount per sect.


    And thates with a strict contract.


    The Heart Linking Pill shouldn''t get re-selled.


    The amount one faction could get is ''actually'' based on their power.


    Finally, the Lost Heaven Sect only sells Heart Linking Pills to the sect they deem worthy.


    Other nations caught the wind of this and tried to negotiate with the Lost Heaven Sect. Some were sessful, and some weren''t, but the former immediately caused another shock in their home nations.


    The Heart Linking Pill is truly a miraculous drug!


    Due to this matter, many want to coborate with the Lost Heaven Sect.


    And many others be greedy, wanting to seize the Lost Heaven Sect''s secret.


    Countless independent Profound Practitioners and secret agents were ''quickly'' sent to the Lost Heaven Sect, but none came back.


    Another shocking piece of news dropped like a bomb as the Lost Heaven Sect won''t supply any sect from the Sunflower Dew Empire anymore.


    Everyone thought this wasughable, but the destruction of Sunflower Dew Royal Pce and many other sects shut their mouths.


    Although there was no casualty in the attack, people aren''t dumb and can connect the dots.


    The Sunflower Dew Empire has offended someone they shouldn''t offend!


    Not long after, some people saw the Emperor of Sunflower Dew Empire kneeling at the foot of Chain Cloud Mountain Range. He also brought his son, who looks like a beaten-up pig.


    To make a leader of a nation bow to you like this.


    Other nations couldn''t help but nervously watch from the sidelines.


    After a month, the Four Great Sacred Grounds finally made their moves and sent their representatives to the Lost Heaven Sects.


    They wanted to acquire the essence of ''Sensitivity'' and a recipe for the Heart Linking Pill. This meeting is very secretive, and only a handful of people know.


    Yet everyone in the Chain Cloud Mountain Range felt immense pressure that day.


    "Come here and get it if you can!" A solemn and cold voice echoed all over the mountain range.


    "As long as I''m here, you will never touch my possession!"


    Ordinary Profound Practitioners don''t know why this happens, but some specte.


    In all truth, the representatives sent by the Four Great Sacred Lands received a blow they would never forget.


    They almost lost their lives.


    It was a warning.


    The Lost Heaven Master is actually a monarch!


    Even though the representatives couldn''t sense his cultivation, they were sure the blow that day was equal to their monarch! It means Lost Heaven Master is probably 9th Level of Sovereign Profound Realm or above!


    A new, powerful ''Monarch'' has emerged in the Profound Sky Continent.


    Not only does he possess immense power, but his foundation is ''deeper'' than the Four Great Sacred Grounds thought.


    The leader of each Sacred Ground contemted their decision.


    The fear of the unknown is the worst.


    Mighty Heavenly Sword Region.


    Sun Moon Divine Hall.


    Absolute Monarch Sanctuary.


    Supreme Ocean Pce.


    The four Super Factions decided to observe the Lost Heaven Sect for a while and buried the hatchet so they could research more about the ''sensitivity'' and Heart Linking Pill.


    This passive approach shocked the Seven Nations.


    However, when they are thinking about offending such an unknown variable like Lost Heaven Master, the Four Great Sacred Grounds is actually wise.


    Know your enemy before making a move. This phrase describes the Four Great Sacred Grounds'' stance on the Lost Heaven Sect.


    It is also a sign of acknowledgment.


    The Lost Heaven Sect is powerful and not a pushover!


    The storm continued for three months before gradually calming down.


    The times pass unknowingly fast, and the Lost Heaven Sect has stood for a year.


    It''s time for the New Year ceremony.


    ...


    Chain Clouds Mountain Range.


    Lost Heaven Sect, Gravity Chamber Room.


    The sound of an explosion echoed every five seconds.


    A ck-haired young man stood amidst the messy room.


    His well-developed body glistened with sweat as ck and purple-colored energy swirled in his abdomen area.


    The energy condensed rapidly, bing grain-like.


    It emitted dim, deep purple light.


    An invisible air blew through the area and the young man''s hair, allowing his golden eyes to appear. His handsome face has this healthy pinkish hue, and a frown gradually forms.


    "This is no good." Yu Long said with a helpless expression.


    "The [Unorthodox- Art of Ghost] and [Orthodox - Art of Violet Mist] is stuck at level 10."


    "I need the perfect harmony between Yin(Darkness) and Yang(Light) Elements. At this point, the [Summer Moon Grandmist] wouldn''t produce Primordial Energy to the amount I want."


    He sighed and sat down, "I need to enter a seclusion."


    "30th Level Gravity doesn''t cut it anymore."


    "You''re being too harsh on yourself, Master." Yuyanes from the Kaiju World. She crouched on the ground and revealed her cleavage to him.


    "I believe no one couldpete with you in any field..."


    "Sometimes, a bottleneck is a good thing. You can slow down and review things slowly."


    Yu Long nced at Yuyan and cleared his throat, "Well, we have some breakthroughs on profound aspects and bloodline limit."


    "However, aren''t you the one who told me a True God Expert could wipe me easily?"


    Yuyan smiled and adjusted her words, "I said True God Experts could ''defeat'' and not kill you if they don''t give you enough time. It was the truth, but you''re bing stronger quickly."


    "In no time, True God Experts won''t pose a threat to you."


    "As if they exist..." Yu Long rolled his eyes. After all, all True Gods have perished and indicated the end of the Age of Gods.


    Yuyan shook her head gently, "What you said is indeed true. There aren''t many God-like existences in the Primal Chaos anymore, but my instinct tells me something unexpected will happen."


    "You should never question a woman''s instinct, Master!"


    Yu Long''s mouth twitched because this was Yuyan''s ace technique of so-called Woman''s Instinct used to tell him to go outside and touch the grass.


    Talking about True God, Yu Long hasn''t visited that ce.


    Blue Pole is a literal starter pack for a protagonist.


    Yu Long has taken Phoenix Legacy, but there is actually one more Beast God Legacy in the Blue Wind Empire. He never went there because he was busy with many other things.


    "Dragon God Trial Ground." Yu Long mumbled to himself.


    Yuyan''s eyes twinkled as she hugged Yu Long''s arm, "Are we finally going to visit the Dragon God?!"


    "Well, yes. Maybe taking a ''breather'' doesn''t sound so bad." Yu Long returned while shaking the Emerald Phoenix off.


    He wore a shirt and picked up a coat on the floor. The clothes look so light, but they are actually several tons heavy.


    "Let''s go."


    Yu Long ced the coat over his shoulder as he walked out of the Gravity Chamber. He used the space-folding array and arrived at the Lost Heaven Sect''s Master Room.


    He saw his Profound Incarnation sitting on the Sect Master''s seat and smiled, "It seems I have to leave you behind for the sect''s protection."


    The Profound Incarnation nodded, silently gathering profound energy into its body.


    Yu Long and Yuyan walked out, seeing white snow fall from the sky.


    "The winter hase."


    "A new year has begun."


    Xia Qingyue appeared in her blue snowrobe and greeted, "Big Brother, you finallye out!"


    She was also apanied by Cang Yue, who wore white green snowrobe.


    "Yu Long~!"


    Yu Long smiled and greeted back, "Morning, Qingyue, Xueruo."


    "Wanna watch the snow falling?"


    "Sure." Both responded immediately.


    As they watched the snowkes fall, three more people appeared.


    Hong Guan, Lily, and Chu Yueli.


    "Young Master, everyone is waiting at the courtyard." Hong Guan reported while bowing slightly.


    Lily giggled and added, "They are eager to see you after weeks, Young Master."


    "Yes." Chu Yueli agreed with Lily''s statement. "Your presence is needed for this special moment."


    Yu Long gazed into the distance and chuckled, "I see... Let''s celebrate the new year then."


    "After that, a new journey is awaiting us!"

 Chapter 70: Entering a Seclusion

    Chapter 70: Entering a Seclusion

    Link: /NineClouds69


    --- Chapter 69 ---


    Around a big and long dinner table, Yu Long and his family gathered for a New Year celebration.


    However, when Yu Long randomly dropped a bomb about him wanting to enter seclusion, they were shocked.


    "What? You''re nning to enter seclusion?" Yu Long''s family members are staring at him with bewilderment.


    Yu Long shrugged and answered casually, "My profound arts have reached a bottleneck and need a reference to break through."


    "Both are stuck at level 10, and I can''t do anything about it for now."


    "Level 10..." Xu Sanshan mumbled solemnly.Within the Shadow Realm and Lost Heaven Sect, Profound Arts'' mastery is categorized by levels.


    Level one is the lowest, and level ten is the highest.


    Only a handful of people could reach Level 7 Mastery, and those people have a deepprehension of their profound arts.


    Level 8 is when one''s profound arts reach the aesthetic realm, where one''s energy maniption is so smooth that there is no need for extra movement when executing a skill.


    With a simple finger flick, a force generated may exceed one''s cultivation.


    Level 9 is even more abnormal. People who reached this level have fully traced and integrated their profound arts into nature.


    Energy consumption was ''abruptly'' reduced by 90%.


    They also could produce a domain and even defeat someone one ''major'' realm higher than themselves.


    As for Level 10, Xu Sanshan couldn''t imagine how god-like it was.


    Only Yu Long reached this realm so far.


    Besides him, Xu Sanshan believed Xia Qingyue, the little granddaughter-inw, could grasp Level 10 Mastery.


    "Where are you going?" Yu Xin asked about the ''important'' matter first.


    Yu Long smiled, "Wastnd of Death."


    "Wastnd of Death?" Everyone sighed in relief.


    They thought Yu Long would go somewhere far away. The Wastnd of Death is only a few hundred thousand miles from the Lost Heaven Sect.


    The Wastnd of Death is and that was left to grow wild. The entire wastnd was ''thoroughly'' overrun with dry, withered grass and rocks lined the rugged terrain.


    Spanning nine hundred and fifty kilometers long and eight hundred kilometers wide, countless profound beasts roamed the wastnd, and these profound beasts were mostly wild and ferocious. It is one of the three most dangerous areas within the Blue Wind Empire. The number of profound beasts within it is at least a hundred times more than the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range. It is heaven for profound beasts and hell for practitioners.


    Along with its reputation, its dense poption of profound beasts attractsrge numbers of practitioners and treasure hunters.


    Every year, the deaths of practitioners within the ruggednd number more than a hundred thousand, and thus, the ce was named Wastnd of Death.


    However, this only applies to weak people.


    Xu Sanshan and Xu Nannan have been on the Wastnd of Death several times. They knew the ''strongest'' beast there was only at Sky Profound Realm.


    "But why the Wastnd of Death?" The grandmother asked with a confused expression.


    "There is a God Legacy there." Yu Long answered honestly. They have long known about Yuyan''s existence and power, so ''God Legacy'' isn''t a new topic.


    Still, they are shocked.


    "Wait, wait, are you sure there is a God Legacy there?"


    "Your grandfather and I have been to the Wastnd of Death several times. But we never discovered anything special."


    "Please forgive my rudeness, but A Legacy of Gods won''t show itself to unworthy people." Yuyan suddenly opened her mouth. "Sometimes, to find it, one must depend on fate and destiny."


    "This is what you call a Lucky Chance or Fortuitous Encounter."


    "Fate and destiny." Cang Yue stared at Yu Long with her bright eyes.


    Yuyan smirked andmented, "Hehe, It seems Cang Yue has gotten the gist of it."


    "Are you saying that my son is a lucky fellow?" Yu Zhan couldn''t help butugh. "You''re good at joking, Yuyan."


    "I''m not joking, Lord Yu."


    "Think about it. It would be weird if my Master isn''t lucky(Considering the amount of karma he had)." Yuyan recalled when she viewed Yu Long''s past life.


    On the side, Xia Qingyue smiled because she also could view Yu Long''s greatness like Cang Yue. As she bes older, her vision also bes more profound.


    She could discern more abstract matters like luck.


    Yu Long has abundant luck, making his soul appear like a beautiful golden sun.


    After a while, everyone finished their food.


    "So, when are you going to depart?" Yu Zhan leaned on his chair as he stared at his youngest son.


    Yu Long put on a thoughtful expression and responded, "Maybe in a week or two."


    "I wanna spend more time with family before going to the Wastnd of Death."


    Before Yu Zhan could speak, Yu Xin grinned and gave Yu Long a thumb-up, "As expected of my son, you know spending more with family is also important."


    "You''ve been locking yourself, so mother is sad." She added with a low humph.


    A wry expression appeared on Yu Long''s handsome face because he was indeed spending less and less time with his family. He was chasing for a breakthrough.


    For the next two weeks, Yu Long did nothing but spend more of his time with his family members andpanions. Although he doesn''t train, his state of mind bes calmer.


    Oh, Yu Long is also formally engaged with Xia Qingyue and Cang Yue now.


    After the relentless persuasion from his family, Yu Long could only ept his fate and walked on the path of polygamy. Well, having more wives is encouraged when one is as capable as him.


    Of course, it won''t stop with just the two girls.


    There are other women in Yu Long''s life, and they have apanied him for a very long time. They deserved more. However, that''s for another day.


    Yu Long''s status is currently sensitive, after all. So many people are paying attention to the Lost Heaven Sect''s greatest genius and Lost Heaven Master''s disciple.


    Well, thanks to this status, the Protagonist n wholeheartedly epted the engagement annulment between Xiao(Yun) Che and Xia Qingyue with some benefits.


    The protagonist''s grandfather, Xiao Lie, is a very stubborn elderly. But with some negotiations, he epted the deal quickly.


    As long as it is within the Sect''s limit, Xiao Lie could ask the Lost Heaven Sect for two favors in the future.


    The Xiao n on the Floating Cloud City will also receive some resources and three Outer Disciple Spots in the Lost Heaven Sect.


    It is such a generous offer, considering not many people could join the Lost Heaven Sect because they only epted young Shadow Agents from the Shadow Realm so far.


    No one in the Profound Sky Continent gets this kind of treatment. It shows the heaviness of Yu Long''s status.


    Above a summit, Yu Long sat with Yuyan and observed the mountain range silently.


    "How is the Phoenix n?" Yu Long asked the Emerald Phoenix.


    Besides serving Yu Long, Yuyan was ''deliberately'' tasked to oversee the Phoenix n in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range. They are growing fast with the modified World Ode of the Phoenix and the resources he has given.


    Feng Baichuan and some elders of the Phoenix n have sessfully reached Sky Profound Realms. They should be able to protect themselves now, but it''s better to be careful than sorry.


    That''s why the Phoenix n is still hiding.


    Some young members entered the Lost Heaven Sect a few months ago with different identities, and they are adjusting quickly, considering their bloodline is purer than the members of Phoenix Divine Empire currently.


    "Phoenix n is doing well," Yuyan answered while munching on a fried dough stick. ''So good~!''


    She finished her snack and continued, "It wouldn''t take long before the Phoenix n possesses enough power not to get bullied."


    "Even the haughty Divine Phoenix Empire is nothing to them in two or three years."


    "You said that, but you''re also curious about your other half, right?" Yu Long smirked at the Emerald Phoenix.


    Yuyan giggled but didn''t say anything afterward. The other Residual Soul of the Phoenix in the Divine Phoenix Empire has gotten corrupted due to her followers and even attacking her other half.


    Women hold grudges, and Yuyan is no different.


    Yu Long blew a warm breath and said, "It''s time to go."


    Jumping from the summit, Yu Long fell from an extreme height and enjoyed the turbulent air.


    Yu Long watched the ground be closer and closer as he casuallynded on the ground, killing the momentum with a profound aspect.


    Or else thend will get destroyed.


    "Where are they?" Yu Long looked around and found everyone waiting for him at the secret pathway of the Lost Heaven Sect. Yuyan teleported and arrived on his side.


    "Yu Long, we have been waiting for you!" Yu Xin waved her hand at him.


    "What takes you so long?"


    Yu Longughed, "Hehe, my bad. After strengthening the array, I watched the clouds for a bit."


    "Watching clouds..." Yu Zhan and others were speechless. Sometimes, they don''t know what Yu Long has in his mind.


    Yu Long shrugged and picked sword-shaped gemstones from his spatial ring. He handed it to his parents and grandparents, "These are the Array Key of the Lost Heaven Sect."


    "I will leave the sect behind in your hand while I''m away."


    "My avatar will stay behind to be the Sect''s Guardian, so the management..."


    "We know." Xu Sanshan responded before he could finish his words.


    "Leave it to us."


    "The Lost Heaven Sect won''t lose a piece when you return."


    "Yeah." Xu Nannan supported her husband''s statement.


    Yu Xin and Yu Zhan nced at each other,ughing slightly.


    "Go, we will watch the ce for you."


    "Also, have Yuyan send letters once in a while."


    Since Yuyan could manipte space, she could teleport back and forth between the Wastnd of Death and the Lost Heaven Sect.


    "Noted." Yu Long gave Yuyan a knowing look.


    "Haha, I will update you on Master''s progress." Yuyan giggled excitedly.


    Yu Long nced at the fivedies(excluding Yuyan) who followed him to the Wastnd of Death, "Are you ready?"


    "Yes." Xia Qingyue responded with a smile.


    "Mm." Cang Yue nodded while crossing her hand.


    Hong Guan, Lily, and Chu Yueli also gave an affirmative response as they stood beside him.


    "See youter." Yu Long bade farewell to his family.


    Yuyan twisted her hand, and the space fabric around them slowly folded, allowing them to move a hundred thousand miles away.


    They arrived at the Wastnd of Death and observed the no-mannd with an interesting expression.


    "So, this is the Wastnd of Death." Hong Guan blinked her eyes. "What drynd..."


    "Uugh, I can''t feel much vitality on the entirend." Lily frowned slightly.


    Chu Yueli stays quiet, but she also doesn''t like the Wastnd of Death''s environment. Although she preferred a silent and cold ce, thisnd is deste.


    Yu Long closed his eyes and expanded [Profound Sense] to the max, which allows him to sense two powerful Sky Profound Beasts in the center of Wastnd of Death.


    "Follow me." Yu Long wrapped them with profound energy and used Minor Teleportation Aspect several times to reach their destination.


    In the blink of an eye, two Flood Dragons suddenly entered their field of vision and roared at them.


    "HUMANS!"


    "GET AWAY FROM THIS PLACE, SCRAM!"


    "Well, that wasn''t a warm wee." Yu Longmented casually.


    "Let me handle them." Chu Yueli said while floating forward.


    No one stopped the Fairy of the Frozen ss as they watched her approaching the profound beasts.


    The cold beauty exuded intense chill.


    "Chronicle of Frozen World - All Things Ice." Chu Yueli pushed her hand and created a freezing wave beyond the Flood Dragons'' strength.


    "W-What!"


    "NOOO!"


    The profound beasts couldn''t even dodge and turn into ice sculptures.


    "Wow..." Lily pped her hands in amazement.


    "Hmm, not bad." Hong Guan felt the ice was very strong, simr to her fire.


    On the other side, Yuyan had this proud mom look on her face, which made Yu Long roll his eyes.


    "I raised that girl!"


    "Yeah, yeah, I know." Yu Long ignored the Emerald Phoenix andnded on the ground, scanning the area. He saw a rock formation and discovered an entrance into a cave.


    "This is it." He grinned. "Hong Guan, can you ce an array around the area?"


    "Also, add an illusion array so no other people will disturb us."


    "Consider it done." Hong Guan responded and disappeared.


    Yuyan peeked into the cave and mumbled, "So, this is where the Dragon God Trial Ground resides... No wonder I have never heard of him."


    "He picked thisnd of all ces."


    A few minutester, Hong Guan returned and reported, "Done, and I didn''t sense any humans'' presence in the ten-mile radius."


    "Good."


    "Let''s greet the Dragon God, shall we?"


    They entered the cave and were ''immediately'' greeted with a massive chamber surrounded by tall stone walls. It was dark, but they could still see because of their sensitivities.


    A pair of massive, azure-colored eyes appeared in the air. Each eye possessed a slit, which gave off intense pressure.


    "Wee to my trial, Humans!" A deep voice invaded their ears.


    "This is Dragon God Trial Ground, and bypleting it, you will receive my legacy."


    "Normally, the difficulty isn''t hard, but since you, young man, brought six more people, the difficulties will be increased drastically."


    "You can tell them to wait outside-!"


    "No, let me experience your trial at the highest difficulty." Yu Long responded confidently.


    The azure eyes squinted, "You''re but a mere mortal at Sky Profound Realm."


    "Don''t bite more than you can chew, or you will regret it."


    "I won''t. Now give me your hardest trials." Yu Long insisted.


    "Let him take your toughest trials, Dragon God. Normal trials won''t work on him." Yuyan finally spoke her mind.


    "Who..." The Dragon God suddenly felt a familiar presence.


    The azure eyes widened in shock.


    "P-Phoenix, you are alive!?"


    "Yes." Yuyan returned nonchntly.


    "But how?"


    Yuyan smirked and answered, "My Master revived me."


    "He gave me this new body and power."


    "Master? Reviving you. That''s impossible!" The Dragon God couldn''t believe his ears for a moment. He doubted Yuyan.


    "The Era of Gods eliminated the Primordial Aura that sustains our lives!"


    "Some Gods could seal their strength and stay alive, but their condition is no different than a corpse..."


    "You, on the other hand, look like you have gotten constructed again from scratch."


    "Very perceptive." Yuyan acknowledged the Dragon God''s sense.


    "But I didn''t lie."


    "The revival is not impossible because my existence is the best living proof of it."


    "Hehe, Let me introduce you to my master." Yuyan walked and hugged Yu Long from behind. "His name is Yu Long, the Kaiju Maker."


    "Kaiju Maker..." The Dragon God and Yu Long''spanion stared at Yu Long.


    Yu Long felt their gazes and understood that he had to exin this matter himself. Well, it''s about time to reveal his power.


    "Nice to meet you, Dragon God." Yu Long walked boldly toward the azure eyes. "My name is Yu Long."


    "I''m Kaiju Maker."


    "In short, I was able to create Kaiju, or Monsters if you want to call it that with my power."


    "Also... From now on, we will be roommates."


    "Let''s get along." Yu Long''s golden eyes released faint electricity.


    And that''s how Yu Long met one of the ''strongest'' existents in the Primal Chaos. This is the start of their brotherhood!

    Chapter 71: A Mere Three Years


    I have added this fanfic to my P4treon Page. You can support me and read advanced chapters there. It motivate me to write more chapters for you guys!

    --- Chapter 70 ---


    Four years have passed after the Lost Heaven Sect emerged to the public and shocked the whole continent.


    In the recent Blue Wind Ranking Tournament, the Lost Heaven Sectpletely wipe everyone out of thepetition.


    If the Blue Wind Ranking Tournament doesn''t limit the number of fighters, the Lost Heaven Sect might have taken over the top ten rankings.


    Fortunately, each sect only gets three spots to contest in this tournament.


    Even then, it was jaw-dropping for everyone to see the Lost Heaven Sect''s disciple dominate the other contestant.


    So, besides the top three ranks, other sects arepeting to get rank 4 to rank 10.Also, there is a sect that has better performance than usual.


    People thought the Heavenly Sword Vi would be the second strongest after the Lost Heaven Sect, but no!


    In thest Blue Wind Ranking Tournament, the Frozen Cloud Asgard stole rank fourth and fifth with their new disciples. The Heavenly Sword Vi, Burning Heaven n, and Xiao Sect could only fight over thest five rankings.


    If not, they would be embarrassed to call themselves Five Great Sects in the Blue Wind Empire.


    Even then, the Blue Wind Ranking Tournament solidified the Lost Heaven Sect''s number-one position in the Blue Wind Empire. Well, it''s not like people haven''t acknowledged them.


    The other nations already acknowledged the Lost Heaven Sect as one of the Sacred Grounds. Not many people know, but the Lost Heaven Master is a peak-level Monarch.


    ...


    Chain Clouds Mountain Range is near the Drifting Cloud Mountain Range and has white clouds all year round. And within this cloudy mountain range, a super sect stood firmly.


    Lost Heaven Sect.


    In a calm-looking mountain peak, a middle-aged man with copper-like skin and purple eyes sat on a rocking chair under a golden-leaved willow tree. He wore a thin wool-woven robe and stared at the distance absentmindedly.


    "What are you staring at?" A middle-aged woman in a green robees with ginger tea. She has ck hair and green eyes, which are enhanced further by the teardrop mark near her eyshes.


    These two are Yu Long''s grandparents.


    "Nannan." Xu Sanshan smiled slightly.


    "It''s nothing. I was thinking about our lives before meeting Yu Long."


    "We always prioritize our safety, run, and hide away like injured dogs. I can''t abandon the noble duty left behind by our ancestors, and thank god that heaven doesn''t y around with our fate."


    "We are lucky." Xu Nannan added while sitting on her rocking chair.


    "Our grandson is very talented."


    "Well, very talented is an extreme understatement. Yu Long is a monster of the highest caliber."


    "True, true." Xu Sanshan nodded giddily. He sipped the ginger tea and added, "I hope he returns soon."


    "We haven''t seen him for three years after he entered seclusion."


    A curt expression formed on Xu Sanshan''s face as he sighed, "My grandson is 16 now."


    "And he already stood on the top of a pyramid."


    "He might touch the Profound God Realm already." Xu Nannan added as a matter of fact. "But you''re right, honey. I miss him too."


    "Even though Yuyan brought news once a month, it was different from seeing Yu Long himself."


    "Do you think Yu Long will agree to enter the Ancestral Land with us after the seclusion?" She suddenly asked her husband.


    "No..." Xu Sanshan answered weakly.


    "He would be too bored."


    Xu Nannan thought it was a pity and responded, "Ah... Never mind, then."


    "But... After three years, he should be mature and view things differently." Xu Sanshan continued uncertainty.


    ...


    Drifting River City, Yu n.


    Yu Xin gently hummed while watching a baby in the cradle. She smiled and caressed the baby''s cheeks, "Mei Mei, your older brother is going out soon."


    The baby squealed adorably and responded, "Gugu, gaga~!"


    Yu Xin giggled, "Hehe, Yu Long would be shocked when he finds out he has such a cute baby sister now."


    Someone knocked on the door nearby, and Yu Xin used her senses to check who it was. "Enter, I didn''t lock the door!" She said eagerly.


    "I''vee to visit." A woman in a green-blue dress entered the room.


    "How have you been, Yu Xin, Mei Mei."


    "Like usual, what about you, Shirou? Being an empress is hard, no?"


    The woman in the green-blue dress is Lan Shirou, the empress of the Blue Wind Empire and the mother of Cang Yue.


    "Aih, don''t get me started with the irritating things that happen in the Imperial Pce." Lan Shirou sighed as she sat on the edge of a bed.


    "Oh?"


    "Do tell me, please."


    Women love drama, and Yu Xin is no exception.


    Lan Shirou smiled and said, "It''s my sons... They are such foolish boys and couldn''t understand their duties as the princes of the Blue Wind Empire."


    "Instead of making this empire great again, they y factions to seize their father''s seat."


    "Why can''t they be like Xueruo..." She grumbled unhappily. "My daughter is still the best, but I haven''t seen her for three years."


    After saying three years, Lan Shirou deliberately nced at Yu Xin.


    Yu Xin''s mouth twitched because her son abducted(brought) his two fiancees along when entering the seclusion. "Okay, don''t give me that look..." She said helplessly.


    "I know what you want. Yu Long and others wille out soon."


    "Really?" Lan Shirou''s eyes lit up. She missed her daughter so much.


    People only know that Cang Yue, the princess, studies somewhere outside the nation.


    However, the truth is that she has stayed in the Wastnd of Death for three years. If the group didn''t have Yu Long''s presence, Lan Shirou would have been worried to death!


    "Yes." Yu Xin nodded at her. "I wouldn''t lie about this kind of matter."


    "Yuyan just sent a message a few days ago. She told me that Yu Long woulde out in a week or maybe sooner."


    "In fact, You''re not the only one who visited me and asked this."


    "Is it Qingyue''s Father, Xia Hongyi?" Lan Shirou guessed the person.


    Yu Xin giggled and stated, "People say Father worries more for their daughter, and it''s indeed true."


    Not far away, in Yu Zhan''s office, Xia Hongyi sneezed and rubbed his hands against each other.


    "What''s the matter? Did you catch a cold?" Yu Zhan asked while bringing two cups of coffee to a table.


    Xia Hongyi smiled bitterly, "Maybe..."


    "You know that my body isn''t as sturdy as yours."


    "You should start training and be Profound Practitioners then." Yu Zhan argued immediately. "It''s not toote for you to be powerful enough and live a long life."


    Xia Hongyi shook his head gently, "No, I''m fine with being an ordinary businessman."


    "Once I enter the Profound Practitioner World, my life won''t be peaceful anymore."


    "If I could watch children grow older and marry, my life would be pretty much fulfilled." He added while gazing at the window, seeing the vast whitend.


    The winter season hase again.


    Xia Hongyi has confirmed Xia Qingyue''s return after talking with Yu Xin just a moment ago. But another thing worried him.


    "Brother Zhan, can you help me with something?" He finally uttered.


    Yu Zhan leaned on his chair, "As long as it is within my capability, I''d help you."


    "Don''t be tense. We are family after Yu Long and Xia Qingyue got engaged to each other."


    "Then, pardon my request..." Xia Hongyiughed heartfully.


    "It''s about Yuanba."


    "Can you help him enter the Lost Heaven Sect?"


    "Just that?" Yu Zhan raised his brows. He thought Xia Hongyi would ask something more selfish, like finding his long-lost wife.


    Nevertheless, Xia Hongyi never ceases to surprise Yu Zhan.


    "Well, leave it to me. It''s so easy." Yu Zhan answered confidently.


    ...


    Wastnd of Death.


    Deep inside a drynd, a massive rock is blocking an entrance into an underground cave. Many people who identally entered the Wastnd of Death thought it was weird.


    Since when did this massive rock appear in the Wastnd of Death?


    Still, after years of attempts, no one could destroy it.


    In the end, people leave it behind.


    Thud!


    Suddenly, the massive rock moved by an inch.


    Unfortunately, no one sees this rming sight.


    The ground and sky are shaking violently butter stop abruptly.


    Silence.


    BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!


    The massive rock that could overshadow a small mountain was ''literally'' destroyed into pieces, and a bright blue ray escaped the cave, creating a pir of light.


    A shadow jumped out andnded on one of the rock chunks.


    It was a tall, handsome young man with long dark hair that reached his waist.


    He is probably over 180 centimeters, with a muscr build that is barely covered by his untied purple robe.


    His hair appeared wild and unkempt, but one couldn''t deny the lustrous, healthy glow.


    Under the swaying of his bangs, one could see a pair of boundless golden eyes. In a ''mere'' three years, there are massive changes in the depth of those gold oceans.


    "HELLO, WORLD!"


    "I''M BACK! HAHAHA~!" The young man let out a gleeful shout andughed excitedly.


    The Kaiju Maker has returned!

 Chapter 72: Growing Older and World-Devouring Tyrant Dragon

    Chapter 72: Growing Older and World-Devouring Tyrant Dragon


    I have added this fanfic to my P4treon Page. You can support me and read advanced chapters there. It motivate me to write more chapters for you guys!


    Link: /NineClouds69


    --- Chapter 71 ---


    "I''M BACK, HAHAHA~!!"


    Wastnd of Death, Dragon God Trial Ground.


    After the wild young man is out, seven individuals in the cave stare at him helplessly.


    Six of them aredies with unique beauty of their own.


    And one is male, who looks rather handsome with this rugged yet manly quality.


    The sixdies are Xia Qingyue, Cang Yue, Hong Guan, Lily, Chu Yueli, and Yuyan.After three years, they have be much more beautiful, except for Yuyan, as her appearance won''t change even if she continues to live forever.


    Xia Qingyue has grown from a charming young girl to a fine youngdy.


    She stood over 170 centimeters, with her luscious ck hair flowing down her waist. Her body is well-developed in three main areas, giving her a more ripe charm.


    Especially her chest, that''s slightly below D-Cup.


    Her face is dainty with no blemish, red lips brighter than cherry, a small nose, and mellow eyshes. On top of that, she has ck eyes with deep and rich quality, as if they could swallow one whole.


    Xia Qingyue currently wore a blue dress, which highlighted her growing body. She could still be more beautiful in a few more years, but right now? She looks like an otherworldly fairy.


    Beside Xia Qingyue is Cang Yue. After three years, the princess of the Blue Wind Empire bes much more dignified and noble.


    Unlike Xia Qingyue, Cang Yue styled her silky ck hair in a ponytail, exposing her fair neck and cor bones. She''s slightly taller than Xia Qingyue, with D-Cup breasts and an hourss figure.


    Although the Blue Wind Empire''s princess isn''t as breathtaking as Xia Qingyue, she is still a beauty who could destroy an empire with a wlessplexion, pink lips, dimples, and sharper eyebrows.


    She wore a green dress with a white sash, having a gentle and pure aura around her.


    Behind them, Hong Guan is gazing at Yu Long with a helpless smile.


    If Xia Qingyue and Cang Yue are considered young, then Hong Guan is someone you could describe as a tall ''milfy'' or ripened adultdy!


    After entering seclusion, Hong Guan''s bloodline is so concentrated it bes one with herself. Thanks to it, her crimson hair became much brighter, and her green eyes became more gem-like.


    Due to the transformation, even the loose red robe couldn''t hide Hong Guan''s voluptuous body. Her twin peaks are ''bigger'' than D-Cup, perky, and somehow gravity-defying!


    Her curviness isn''t something youngdies like Xia Qingyue and Cang Yue could contest. So, calling her a ''mommy'' or demoness won''t be wrong.


    On the other hand, Lily experienced tremendous change. Like Hong Guan, the altered bloodline has fully integrated into her whole being and triggered surprising changes.


    She bes taller but actually shorter than Xia Qingyue. Her ck hair has be auburn, and her eyes change into a captivating yellowish-gold color as if they were fallen leaves of fall.


    Her face is oval with thin lips, a small nose, and nted eyebrows.


    She might not have the most desirable body, but her humble C-Cup breast and slim waist make her look huggable. There is also sunny-like air surrounding her.


    Wearing a well-fitted maroon robe and styling her hair in twin tails, Lily looks like a childhood sweetheart who has grown into a finedy.


    Andstly, Chu Yueli.


    Chu Yueli actually hasn''t changed much in thest three years. The only noticeable change is her skin bes more jade-like with an icy tone, and her hair nearly bes full white, giving off the image of falling snow.


    With her snow-white robe, Chu Yueli appeared like a snow goddess.


    "Master has finally reached it," Yuyanmented with a smile. "No one in this era could rival him now."


    "You made the right bet, Zilong."


    She nced at the only man nearby andmented, "Following Kaiju Maker is the wisest choice you could make."


    The man replied helplessly, "If I didn''t ept him as my lord, I''m afraid I would miss out on many things."


    "Including my daughter."


    The man is over 190 centimeters with a muscr build, having sheen ck hair with some azure strands. His skin was ''seemingly'' made of pure white steel, which his martial robe failed to hide. An azure dragon tattoo spread from his back and wrapped around his arms, containing intense pressure.


    Yes, he was Primordial Azure Dragon, or what is widely known as the Dragon God in the Realm of Gods. After that day, Yu Long barged into his trial, which caused the Dragon God to be shocked by the Kaiju Maker''s prowess and decided to follow him.


    After the shocking revival, Dragon God acknowledged Yu Long as his master and brother.


    Not long after, Yu Long gave him a new name, Zilong.


    Of course, not before giving Yu Long the ''hardest'' Dragon God Legacy trial ever recorded in Primal Chaos''s History. Even then, Yu Long passed with flying rainbow colors.


    No, crushing the Dragon God Trials would be a more appropriate term.


    Even now, Zilong couldn''t gauge Yu Long''s potential and power. The boons he gave Yu Long, such as the True Dragon God''s Soul and Primordial Azure Dragon''s bloodline, are just a little incentive.


    All Zilong knew was Yu Long was an existence beyond the Primal Chaos itself. Besides the Eight Primordial Gods of Creation, only the Ancestral God could probably rival him.


    Then again, the Ancestral God has long gone from the world.


    Zilong nced at the cave where he had resided for years andughed amusingly, "Haha, I''d miss this ce."


    "Old Yu, where are we going after this?" He asked Yu Long with a shout.


    Yu Long smiled and shouted back, "Well, of course... To my home!"


    "Then, I''ll give you a ride." Zilong stepped out of the cave and disappeared from everyone''s vision.


    A massive shadow suddenly covered the Wastnd of Death, stretching out of the area. Staring at the sky, one could see a gigantic serpent-like body covered by dark-azure scales. Each scale is the size of a house, which is around 100 meters square, with countless hexagonal patterns.


    Five ws extended from the body, and a pair of ocean-like wings folded neatly above them.


    The head of the gigantic creature is ''bigger'' than any mountain descended, revealing gray-colored whiskers, a lion''s mane, curved antlers, and a pair of dim azure-colored eyes.


    ...


    Kaiju No. 17


    Species: World-Devouring Tyrant Dragon


    Grade: SS+


    Abilities: True Dragon God''s Power, King of the Void, All-Devouring, World-Devouring Domain, True Dragon God''s Presence, Transformation, Spectral Dragon Gate, Meteor Toss, Azure Void Immortal Body, Unrivaled True Damage


    Given Name: Zilong, Old Zi


    ...


    Yu Longughed, "Sure, Old Zi."


    "Give us a ride."


    "But you might want to cover yourself first. The new body of yours is too eye-catching."


    Zilong smiled in his Kaiju Form and gradually became smaller, condensing into a twenty-meter-long azure dragon with no ''special'' feature besides the five ws. Clouds surround his body as well.


    "Everyone, let''s depart!" Yu Long jumped lightly andnded on the dragon''s back.


    "Hehe, we are finally out! Let''s fucking go!" Lily arrived on Zilong''s back with a sh.


    Hong Guan smiled, "Lily,nguage... But you''re right, I''m also excited."


    "I wonder what state the Lost Heaven Sect is currently in."


    "I miss my money..." Lily giggled while rubbing her hands.


    "..." Chu Yueli, who justnded, stared at Lily nkly.


    This money-grubber!


    Xia Qingyue arrived shortly after and hugged Yu Long''s arm, "Big brother, how is your body?"


    "I''m in the best condition. I felt like nothing could stop me." Yu Long answered casually. Even though it barely answers Xia Qingyue''s question, the girl is still satisfied.


    "After we finish a few things, let''s go to the Realm of Gods and find your mother." He added while rubbing Xia Qingyue''s head.


    "Mm~!" Xia Qingyue enjoyed the pat.


    Yu Long''s head pats are one of the best things in the world.


    Cang Yue and Yuyan were thest to board as a translucent film covered the area around Zilong''s body.


    Cang Yue opened her mouth and said, "This is a Spatial Barrier."


    "Even I need a rge'' amount of energy and concentration to make one."


    "You and Zilong are different." Yuyan pointed out. "He''s a Kaiju, so this kind of thing is within his capability."


    "You, on the other hand, are our little oracle."


    "Yes, Xueruo. You''re as important as the others in the group." Yu Long winked at Cang Yue.


    Cang Yue blushed, "I see..."


    Yu Long gazed into the distance and shouted, "To the Drifting River City, Yu n!"


    "You have seen my memory once. You should know the location, right?"


    "Hehe, leave it to me," Zilong answered confidently.


    Zooom!


    The azure dragon disappeared from the sky, leaving behind scattered clouds.

    --- Chapter 72 ---


    A blinking light appeared above the Drifting Cloud Mountain Range, and an azure dragon wed out,nding on a mountaintop.


    "Drifting Cloud Mountain Range..." Yu Long said with a wide smile hanging on his lips.


    Three years.


    It''s been three years since he visited this ce.


    Yu Long jumped from the dragon''s back andnded on the edge of a cliff, overseeing the vastnd of Drifting Cloud Mountain Range. Not far away, one could see the Drifting River City surrounded by several flowing rivers, also where the Yu n resides.


    He gazed down at the mountain range''s border, "Motivation starts from somewhere.""Don''t worry... I''ve promised to make Hong Guan live well and happy, Instructor Hong." He sped his hand, paying respect to the sky.


    Hong Guan watched Yu Long''s broad and athletic back with a small smile on her beautiful face. After seclusion, her young master has be much more mature.


    Well, it has something to do with unlocking his past life memory.


    At first, Hong Guan and others were shocked.


    However, they epted it quickly and realized how Yu Long achieved all these abnormal achievements at a young age. Although there are some conflicting emotions, they still love him in the end.


    Yu Long is still Yu Long, and that''s all that matters.


    "Yueli, mirror!" Yu Long waved his hand excitedly.


    Chu Yueli nodded and created an ice mirror for Yu Long, presenting it before him.


    Yu Long stared at himself for a second and mumbled, "Hmm, I look like someone who hasn''te out of the basement for years... Wait, that''s the truth, isn''t it?"


    "Should I cut your hair, Young Master?" Chu Yueli offered with shining eyes.


    Yu Long chuckled and questioned back, "Can you?"


    This response causes everyone to smile curtly. Even Chu Yueli realized how stupid her question was.


    Before the seclusion, Yu Long''s body was nearly indestructible already.


    Yu Long''s body contained a mystery of Primal Chaos as if he were a condensed, vast universe with countless bright stars.


    First, let''s not talk about people in the Mortal Realm like Blue Pole Star because even the residence of the Divine Realm above there couldn''t possibly damage his hair.


    Every part of Yu Long''s body was ''thoroughly'' powered by the meaning of ''Profound Way'' constantly, and several bloodlines coexist to keep him at the peak of the True - Physical Aspect.


    Heck, the Primordial Azure Dragon''s bloodline alone makes Yu Long''s physique above every one of the same cultivation base.


    Zilong returned to his human form and offered, "Do you need my ws?"


    "Nah." Yu Long waved his hand casually.


    Who would waste such a precious w from World-Devouring Tyrant Dragon only to trim some hair?


    Hehe, it''s not Yu Long definitely.


    It''s not like he hasn''t used Evil God''s Fire Seed to heat water for tea or do some barbeque.


    Cough! Cough!


    Fire Seed aside, Yu Long pinched his finger, and invisible air formed on the tips. Pressured air strengthened by Space Element slowly condensed into a fine edge.


    Yu Long waved his finger casually, creating a wave.


    Xia Qingyue''s smile froze as shemented, "Big Brother didn''t want to use Old Zi''s w but used [Void de Art] to cut his hair instead."


    "What is this? Does he perhaps want to brag?"


    That must be it! Thedies nodded in agreement.


    "He is always like that..." Lily pointed out.


    Yu Long ignored them and swiftly cut his hair to a desirable style. It wasn''t a hard choice as he likes his hair to be around shoulder-length range.


    He brought the hair near his ears to the back of his head and tied it into a bun with a ponytail before letting out some bangs. This style highlighted Yu Long''s handsome face and well-chiseled jawline.


    "Nice." He said while blowing the bangs off.


    As for the cut hair, Yu Long stored it forter use. He could make some artifacts with it.


    Maybe several dozens of needles or fine lines.


    "90 points." Cang Yue uttered all of a sudden.


    "Of what?" Xia Qingyue gingerly eyes the princess.


    The princess giggled, "Of course. Yu Long''s current look."


    "He would be more handsome if he wore a suit or a new set of robes."


    "I mean..." Everyone stared at Yu Long intently. This guy hasn''t changed his style of clothing for three years.


    Purple martial robe all the way!


    "Let''s go, or it would be toote." Yu Long casually jumped off the cliff.


    Everyoneughed and followed him.


    Eight shadows fleeted in the blue sky and reached the Yu n in seconds,nding in a quiet courtyard. Yu Long scratched his nose and awkwardly checked if he smelled or not.


    After checking he was fine, Yu Long walked to Yu Xin''s courtyard and sensed she was talking with someone. He also noticed a small ball of joy nearby.


    ''Damn, father. You still have the game on?'' Yu Long couldn''t help but admire his father. If only Yu Long knew that his mother was the one who initiated the game.


    "Hello." Yu Long knocked on the door, and Yu Xin stopped talking with Lan Shirou.


    "Who''s there?" Yu Xin frowned slightly.


    She couldn''t recognize this voice or presence.


    "It''s me..." Yu Long responded helplessly.


    "It''s me, who?"


    "Yu Long..."


    "Yu what? Ack, YU LONG!" Still suspicious, Yu Xin didn''t digest the words well.


    However, when she realized her baby boy had returned.


    Yu Xin immediately jumped from her seat and rushed to the door, opening it hurriedly.


    Her eyes lit up in shock as a tall, handsome young man stood in the hallway.


    He reminded Yu Xin of her husband, especially that handsome face and those deep golden eyes. But what makes two differences is this young man is younger with ''special'' charms around him.


    Before Yu Long could say something, Yu Xin lunged forward and hugged him tightly. Thest time they met and hugged, she appeared taller and slightly bigger than him, but now the position reversed.


    Looking down at Yu Xin''s relieved expression, Yu Long could feel her happiness radiate to his body.


    "I''m back." Yu Long hugged his mother back.


    Yu Xin felt the firm and warm hug, "Wee back, my little handsome son."


    ...


    Sitting down around a cradle, Yu Xin has a happy smile permanently stered on her face.


    She gazed at Yu Long, who had grown into a handsome young man and was old enough to marry. Yes, sixteen is considered an adult in this world.


    "Yu Long, what do you think about marriage?" She asked seriously.


    "Mother knows you''re a special kid from a young age, but I''d like to see grandchildren as soon as possible!"


    Hearing Yu Xin''s abrupt demand, everydy close to Yu Long in the area was rmed. They stared at him intently.


    Yu Long''s mouth twitched as he answered, "Not now."


    "Also, don''t you have this little bundle of joy here..."


    "I don''t think you need grandchildren for now."


    "Aww, so cute~!" Xia Qingyue was the first to look at the baby in the cradle.


    "She looks like Yu Long, as expected of the genes." Cang Yuemented while blinking her eyes in surprise.


    After that, everyone surrounded the cradle curiously.


    The baby cutely blinked and stared at them, "Gugu?"


    Yu Xin giggled and carried the baby out, "Let me introduce you to this little princess of our Yu n."


    "Yu Long, this is your sister."


    "Her name is Yu Mei."


    Yu Long stared at the baby. She had her mother''s nose and her father''s golden eyes. With baby fat on her cheeks and a small droll, she looks adorable in every way possible!


    On top of that, He never felt this sense of closeness before. Probably because he never had a sister, not in his previous life.


    "Meimei, this is your brother. Yu Long." Yu Xin introduced him this time.


    "In the future, if someone dares to bully you, you can ask him for help."


    "He will beat all the bad guys for you!"


    I don''t think the baby will understand that, ma''am.


    However, the babyughed joyfully, "Baba, baba~!"


    She waved her tiny hand at Yu Long.


    "That''s right, Meimei. I''m your brother." Yu Long stretched his hand and poked his younger sister''s cheek gently.


    "Baba~!"


    As if Yu Mei had a magical power, everyone felt happiness from her smallugh.


    From now on, Yu Long''s family has one more member.

    --- Chapter 73 ---


    After knowing he had a younger sister, Yu Long could only ept this bundle of joy wholeheartedly.


    He swore not to spoil Yu Mei too much because it would be a recipe for disaster, but if someone dared to mess with his sister, that person wouldn''t see another day.


    Laying down on thefortable bed he hadn''t touched for three years, Yu Long finally released a sigh of belonging. A pleasant smirk formed on his handsome face as he felt at peace.


    He closed his eyes and muttered, "I recovered nearly 70% of my past life memory already. The function and skills of [Kaiju Maker] have grown smoother in the past three years."


    "I didn''t have much problem creating a superior Kaiju with an inferior essence sphere anymore."


    "Unfortunately, I barely could remember the two women back then." He sighed helplessly. Maybe there is indeed a price of reincarnation, such as forgetting some memory.He could grasp their appearances but not their names or voices.


    "I hope they are living well." Yu Longmented while opening his eyes again.


    He clenched his hand and added, "My vitality is overflowing. I should do something with it."


    "One of [Kaiju Maker]''s essential skills. Raising ability''s grade by using my vitality."

    "I will upgrade some abilities to S-grade." Yu Longmented as he transferred his vitality into essence spheres in his body. After feeling warm energy disappearing in his chest, Yu Long chuckled because this method is more effective than training.


    However, this method also has a downside. Yu Long has to adapt to the newly upgraded abilities, but it wouldn''t take long usually.


    ''Master, do you want to have a booze?'' A deep voice rang in Yu Long''s head.


    ''Not now, Soobin.'' Yu Long responded casually.


    ''Well, it''s your loss.'' The Goblin King returned with augh. Fourteen of Yu Long''s Kaiju gathered and enjoyed their time in the Inner World, excluding Tanky, Yuyan, and Zilong.


    Tanky hasn''t moved from the Drifting Cloud Mountain Range. He is always thest fortress of Yu Long''s family.


    As for Yuyan and Zilong, they are having a Disnend experience around the Blue Wind Empire.


    Yu Long''s mouth twitched as he clicked, "Whatever, enjoy your time well."


    "Because tomorrow, I''ll assign something to some of you guys."


    "Eh?"


    "What?!"


    "Good night." Yu Long shut their telepathy and drifted to sleep.


    The next day.


    Yu Long woke up and found Hong Guan and Lily on the bed, hugging him tightly. Chu Yueli sat on a couch not far away, dozing off silently.


    You might think, where are Xia Qingyue and Cang Yue?


    Xia Qingyue has returned to the Floating Cloud City with her father to grab something. She would go to the Lost Heaven Sect and meet Yu Long there in two or three days.


    As for Cang Yue, she also went away with her father and returned to the Blue Wind Imperial City. It''s been three years, so Yu Long understood how homesick the girls and lonely the parents were.


    He also missed his parents and grandparents, after all.


    cing nkets over Hong Guan, Lily, and Chu Yueli, Yu Long washed his face and called a Kaiju, "Semu."


    "Yes, my lord?" A swirl appeared on the sink, revealing a finger-sized creature with a ck exoskeleton and tiara-shaped antennas.


    "You will be in charge of protecting my sister from now on. If her life is in danger, I give you the right to eliminate any possible threat."


    The 3,000 Tons Ant Queen lowered her head and responded, "I''ll fulfill your order, my lord. Should I change my form or stay like this?"


    "Do it as you fit." Yu Long swept his hair with cold water.


    "Very well." The Ant Queen disappeared from Yu Long''s sight.


    Near Yu Mei''s cradle, countless ck ants under the control of the 3,000 Ant Queen appeared and camouged themselves. Yu Long sensed this from his room and nodded in satisfaction.


    Although Semu isn''t the strongest Kaiju, Yu Long knows very well her ability is suitable to be a bodyguard. Not to mention the ability to create worker ants swarms, Yu Long was confident no one could hide from her detection ability because he made her that way.


    Don''t look down on Ants'' size. They are predators on their own.


    Yu Long learned this fact after unlocking part of his past life''s memory, where a whole country is ''literally'' overrun by trillions of mutant ant monsters.


    Those mutant ants have short lifespans. Yet they could multiply in a fraction of a second.


    It was a spine-shivering and horrible sight, but thankfully, Yu Long''s previous life self had Kaiju Maker.


    "Yu Mei''s protection is done. I should start investigating the other Continents." Yu Long rubbed his chin thoughtfully.


    "One has other races, which is more pleasing for the Kaiju Maker."


    "But the other Continent has a beast from the Age of Gods..."


    "Uugh, this is a difficult choice."


    He sped his hand and continued, "Fuck, let''s explore both. I would eventually get to the Azure Cloud Continent anyway, thanks to a certain tournament that would get held soon."


    "Levy, Oni. You two stand by on the nearby beach."


    "Roger!" 2x. A male and female voice echoed in Yu Long''s mind.


    At the same time, two lights escaped Yu Long''s inner world and went to the nearby beach.


    He nced at Chu Yueli on the couch and mumbled, "I still have two or three free days."


    "Maybe I should visit the Frozen Cloud Asgard to settle the Cmity they are afraid of. Wait, I didn''t know what kind of state that sect is currently in after the female Shadow Agents invaded it..."


    Knock! Knock!


    Someone knocked on the door of Yu Long''s room.


    "Yu Long, let''s have breakfast together~!" Yu Xin''s voice enters the room.


    Yu Long''s expression loosened as his lips curved into a happy smile, "I''ll be there in a minute!"


    He hasn''t eaten his mother''s food for three years. So, this makes him rather excited.


    Yu Long was more excited than finding God''s Legacy on the other Continent.


    Hehe, priority!


    Hearing Yu Xin''s shout, thedies also awakened from their sleep one after another.


    "Morning..." Chu Yueli said while stretching her alluring body.


    "Haa... So rxing." Hong Guan yawned and rubbed her thighs before Yu Long''s eyes.


    "Did someone say bread?" Lily rubbed her eyes sleepily. Her sleeping robe is literally falling off her shoulders.


    Yu Long stared at them respectfully because he was a healthy young man and coughed, "Morning."


    "Wash yourself up."


    "My mother is waiting for us in the dining room." Yu Long felt something was rising.

    --- Chapter 74 ---


    Yu Long arrived at the dining room with his maids. He saw his parents and younger sister sitting around the dining table, waiting for him toe.


    Several dishes are ''neatly'' ced on the table, ranging from easy-to-eat food like congee and light soup to roasted meats.


    Grabbing a seat, Yu Long couldn''t help but smile and greet, "Morning."


    "Morning, here." Yu Xin responded with a giggle. She also ced a te down for her handsome son.


    "Baba, baba~!" Yu Mei waved her hand at Yu Long.


    "Morning, Meimei." Yu Long poked the baby''s little nose gently.Yu Zhan watched this scene and was amused because he never thought his son would ept the younger sibling this fast. In the past, Yu Long wouldn''t even talk to his half-brothers.


    There were some exceptions, but the contact is still minimal.


    Well, his son has be much more mature.


    "What''s with the gaze?" Yu Long nced at his father.


    Yu Zhan chuckled, "Nothing."


    "Just take it as your senile old man thinking about a good time."


    "..." Yu Long.


    So, you''re admitting you''re a senile ''old man'' now?


    After that, Yu Zhan ignored Yu Long''s suspicious gaze and sipped his morning coffee happily.


    "Oh, by the way. What level are you currently in?" All of a sudden, Yu Zhan asked.


    "My cultivation base or profound arts?" Yu Long returned while picking up his chopsticks.


    "Both!" Yu Xin said this time.


    Yu Long stared at them and answered, "I''m currently at the peak of Tyrant Profound Realm. I could get into the Sovereign Profound Realm anytime, but you know why I don''t do that."


    "Understandable." Yu Zhan nodded because Yu Long likes toprehend the meaning of each cultivation realm. Before Yu Long left for seclusion, he was at the Peak Level of Sky Profound Realm.


    "As for profound arts, they are level 21."


    "Pfft-!" Yu Zhan sprayed his coffee.


    Yu Xin''s hand froze mid-air, causing the roastedmb to fall on the congee below it.


    "Gugu, gaga~!" Yu Mei found this sight funny andughed.


    "A-Are you joking?" Yu Zhan wiped coffee from his mouth and table.


    Yu Long shrugged, "No."


    "Why would I?"


    "After entering the seclusion and obtaining a reliable reference from the Dragon God himself, I can assure you the level of profound arts mastery I started is just a basic."


    He gave them a smug look, "The first ten levels are the ''basic'' of handling one''s energy and understanding the profound arts. Based on the profound ways. I called this the Acquired Realm."


    "From level 11 to 20, it''s called Innate Realm."


    "In this realm, your profound arts wouldn''t be limited in range and area anymore because it was strong enough to overpower it."


    "At this level, it''s possible to create a Domain. Of course, it would be based on the profound arts you cultivated."


    "T-Then, what about level 21?" Yu Xin couldn''t help but ask.


    Yu Long put on a mysterious expression and answered, "Level 21 is known as Ultimate Stage or Merging Realm."


    "Take a guess why it''s called Merging Realm?"


    "..." Yu Zhan.


    "..." Yu Xin.


    Why are you questioning us instead?


    Yu Long facepalmed himself at his parents'' antics.


    It was a rhetorical question!


    He sighed and exined, "Merging Realm is where one''s mastery could affect the fabric of reality itself. Not in the literal sense, but close to manifesting your will in the real world."


    "The strong in the Age of Gods called this Manifestation of their concepts."


    "For example, I cultivated [Art of Violet Mist]."


    Violet mist suddenly appeared around Yu Long and turned into a cute teddy bear dancing around Yu Mei.


    "Baba~!" Yu Mei''s eyes lit up.


    "You might think [Manifestation Aspect] could achieve this, but no." Yu Longughed helplessly. "To reach level 21 or Merging Realm, you need to know what ''profound way'' you walk on."


    "It''s not a simple manifestation, but changing the world itself."


    "Well, don''t overthink it for now." Yu Long pinched his chopsticks.


    "Beside me, only Xia Qingyue could reach this stage."


    Yu Zhan and Yu Xin sighed, staring at their son in amazement.


    To think he would bring this mind-boggling surprise.


    Isn''t he simply a god now?


    If Yu Long knew what his parents were thinking, he wouldugh like a madman because God in this world is too lousy.


    Hong Guan, Lily, and Chu Yueli awkwardly stood nearby.


    "Sit down." Yu Long said with a smile.


    They nodded and grabbed a seat near Yu Long.


    "Let''s eat." Yu Xin calmed herself down and fed Yu Mei.


    Yu Zhan nodded, "Yeah."


    They have enough for Yu Long''s surprise for today.


    Everyone enjoyed the breakfast, and Yu Long ate more portions than ever.


    Yes, although Yu Long didn''tck food in seclusion, no one could beat the cooking at home.


    Filling up his stomach, Yu Xin told Yu Long to bring his sister and bond over some walks.


    Yu Long wanted to refuse, but damn. Mother is scary.


    So, with the baby in his arms, Yu Long flew to the beach, where he ordered two of his Kaiju.


    He also brought some Shadow Phantoms along because this mission was beneficial.


    "Um, Young Master. Are you really nning to visit my sect?" Chu Yueli hovered beside Yu Long. Her misty eyebrows fluttered due to the air.


    Yu Long stared at the distance and answered, "Yes. Wait, are you perhaps don''t want me to visit Frozen Cloud Asgard?"


    "No, no. I wouldn''t dare." Chu Yueli flustered and hurriedly responded, which made her rather cute than usual.


    The cold beauty is the most satisfying one to conquer, they say.


    It would be a lie if Yu Long said he wasn''t attracted to Chu Yueli, but thetter viewed him more as a god than a partner. And he couldn''t do anything about it.


    "Don''t worry. I won''t do anything to your Frozen Cloud Asgard." Yu Long uttered casually. "I''m simply visiting to give them a wake-up call, especially to your stubborn master and sister."


    Chu Yueli bit her lips because her young master was too good. Thinking about it, she hasn''t served him much.


    Their rtionship might be vague, but they are indeed after spending time together for three years in the Dragon God Trial Grounds.


    All Chu Yueli could say is, "Thank you, Young Master... Yueli will never forget your kindness."


    "...But can you treat my master and sister more gentlyter?"


    "I mean... That depends on their response." Yu Long returned with a yful expression.


    "Okay." Chu Yueli took Yu Long''s words for granted. She hoped her master and sister wouldn''t be so dumbter when they visited.


    They arrived at the beach and saw a massive whale and serpentine dragon in the water.


    "What is this..." A Shadow Phantom felt a dreadful sensation all over his body. "These creatures are beyond our league."


    "They are my servants, Levy and Oni." Yu Long answered,nding on the beach.


    "And you, Shadow Phantom, would follow them to the other Continent."


    "There are other Continents?" The Shadow Phantoms are confused.


    Yu Long crossed his arms, "There are two more Continents beside the Profound Sky Continent."


    "Your mission this time is to infiltrate them."


    "Are you up to the mission?"


    Shadow Phantoms'' eyes glistened as they bowed, "We will follow Lord Shadow''s order!"


    "Good." Yu Longughed in delight. "There is no time limit, but I expect you guys to find them quickly."


    "Also, you may use force, but don''t endanger innocent people."


    "Report through our link if you encounter any problem."


    Shadow Phantoms nodded and separated into two groups, one to the massive whale and the other to the serpentine dragon.


    Watching the two Kaiju swim away, Yu Long looked down and discovered Yu Mei sleeping soundlessly. She even drooled on his shirt.


    "Yueli, handkerchief." Yu Long stretched his hand.


    "Here." Chu Yueli grabbed a handful of handkerchiefs from her spatial ring.


    Yu Long grabbed one and wiped the drool from his sister''s mouth.


    Why is an adorable existence always so fragile?


    "Let''s go back. Hong Guan and Lily must have done their task." Yu Long grabbed Chu Yueli''s hand and made her blush.


    Using short-distance teleportation several times, Yu Long returned to the Yu n in seconds. He looked around and found neither Hong Guan nor Lily in the area.


    "Where are they?" Chu Yueli tilted her head upon arriving at the underground facility.


    Yu Long checked the research room and discovered a note, "Hmm, this is..."


    "Uh, Rebellion in the eleventh base?"

    --- Chapter 75 ---


    Rebellion.


    Yu Long expected this to happen sooner orter.


    And he was gone for three years, so the Shadow Realm''s growth was out of his eyes. Besides the founder and core members, Yu Long knows the future members of Shadow Realm will have an idea or two to be independent.


    Well, this is the problem of all sessful organizations.


    It be too big!


    "And it''s the eleventh base of all bases, as expected." Yu Longmented in annoyance.The eleventh base is odd. Located on the corner of Divine Phoenix Empire, this Shadow Realm''s branch doesn''t recruit Shadow Agents like any other branch.


    They used a ''fake'' sect and recruited everyone in the area.


    The problem is that the Divine Phoenix Empire''s people are known for their arrogance. After all, the empire is ''widely'' acknowledged as the best out of the seven nations.


    Like a bloated balloon, this eleventh base finally felt overconfident with its ability and even attacked other branches.


    Yu Long should know better, but there were no other choices in the past because the Divine Phoenix Empire is the nation with the tightest security system.


    Right now, he wouldn''t get so fuzzed with this matter.


    He has the Lost Heaven Sect and deeper foundations now.


    "Technically speaking, I''ve nned and founded the Shadow Realm for roughly ten years... It''s bound to have a problem." Heughed at himself.


    Chu Yueli walked to his side and said, "This isn''t your fault, Young Master."


    "Those ungrateful bastards should die..."


    "Hong Guan and Lily should know this, probably giving them what they deserved."


    "Are you perhaps consoling me?" Yu Long smiled a little.


    "I''m not so fragile that a half-assed rebellion would crack me."


    "However... Thanks, I appreciate it."


    He turned around and walked away with sleeping Yu Mei in his arms.


    Chu Yueli watched Yu Long''s broad and muscr back, smiling from ear to ear. Not many people know, but Yu Long carried perhaps the heaviest burden in this universe.


    Since Yu Long revealed his power that day, Chu Yueli knows her young master needs emotional support.


    They know Yu Long would like it, even if it was just encouragement and small talk.


    In the lonely path that Kaiju Maker took, he was still a human at heart.


    Following Yu Long''s step, Chu Yueli walked up from the underground facility and was ''immediately'' greeted by a bright light.


    ...


    After sending Yu Mei to her cradle, Yu Long and Chu Yueli immediately went to the Divine Phoenix Empire.


    On the border of the Divine Phoenix Empire, an explosion urred as several dark-clothed figures surrounded Hong Guan and Lily. Thedies have a gloomy and cold look on their faces.


    Hong Guan, in particr, looks like she wanted to decimate everyone into ashes.


    "Shadow Brides, you have no authority to order us around." One dark-clothed figure stepped out. "Our Dark Moon Sect woulde out and announce to the world that we are strong!"


    "Dumbass." Lily straight-upmented.


    "How strong? You guys are merely a group of Earth Profound Realms, and even the strongest person in your group is only at peak Sky Profound Realm."


    Lily indifferentlyughed, "With such a low strength, you''re sure having a boundless dream, hehe. Ants who know nothing about reality."


    "You have eyes but cannot see therge picture..."


    "Shut up! You know nothing about us!" The dark-clothed figures collectively shouted at her.


    "Since four years ago, we know your main branch people have abandoned us!"


    "Abandoned..." Hong Guanughed like their statements were a joke.


    Shadow Realm''s branches get enough resources to be stronger and survive for years, but the eleventh branch is daring enough to want more.


    The eleventh branch has attacked three other bases so far.


    And it wasn''t due to frustration that the main branch abandoned them.


    It was greed!


    ''We need to revise Shadow Realm''s teaching.'' Hong Guan patted her forehead. ''In the past, we recruited people that would be grateful and wouldn''t doctrine them heavily, but now I see the ws.''


    Shemented, "Fine, I give you guys a choice..."


    "Surrender now and stop your rebellion."


    "This is your final chance before the Lord Shadow gets the wind of this matter. And he won''t be as merciful as me."


    The dark-clothed figure snorted, "Ha! Lord Shadow, you said? Are you sure that person even existed?"


    All of a sudden, the atmosphere froze.


    An arm shouldering the dark-clothed figure''s neck as a carefree voice echoed in the area.


    "Oh, You''re saying that I never existed then?"


    "Funny, since when did you decide such a thing."


    "Hahaha, Are you my mother?" Even though the words seem like a joke, there is a thick killing intent behind them.


    Every dark-clothed figure stares at the person who locked his arm around their leader''s neck. Their eyes widened in shock because they recognized the young man.


    He''s a tall, handsome young man with mid-length ck hair that was ''neatly'' tied in a bun and menacing golden eyes.


    They heard he was gone, but showing the older version of their supreme leaders makes them shiver instinctively.


    As if the bucket of ice-cold water dumped on their faces, they knew they were fucked beyond return.


    "Hey, why don''t you repeat what you said earlier?" Yu Long shed a smile to their leader. In his cold golden eyes, a measly peak Sky Profound Realm used Shadow Realm''s resources to reach this point.


    The dark-clothed figure released cold sweats as he trembled because Yu Long''s arm felt like a grim reaper''s scythe on his neck.


    "Everyone, attack!" He roared in panic.


    However, none of them could move a muscle.


    "I said... It was toote when Lord Shadow knew about this matter." Hong Guan was the first toment.


    She despised them, "Well, it''s your fault for not taking me seriously."


    Chu Yueli arrived at the sce and noticed Yu Long near a Shadow Agent. A frown appeared on her beautiful face.


    Yu Long released a faint dark aura andughed, "Attack me?"


    "You guys?"


    "It seems all of you forget who makes the profound arts you cultivated..."


    "A mere level 6 dares to move near my presence. Howughable."


    "[Art of Ghost] - [Ghost Emperor''s Presence]."


    BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!


    A wail of ghosts echoed throughout thend. Yu Long stood amidst the chaos and watched these trashes suffer from energy loss.


    Their cultivation was ''quickly'' stripped from their bodies.


    Their profound veins got destroyed due to their energy slowly drying out.


    Their vitality left, causing their skin to wither.


    "ARGH!"


    "NO, NO!"


    "My cultivation, my body, everything!"


    Regretful shoutse from their mouths.


    Men be hungry ghosts.


    And women be banshee.


    They wailed because of the Ghost Emperor''s Punishment.


    The Grim Reaper God.


    Yu Long watched these people turn into husks and crumble into ashes due to the withering force. The man in his arm paled, looking at hisrades as they became handfuls of soil.


    "Hey, look at this." Yu Long stretched his hand and opened it.


    "This is the umtion of dead souls..."


    A ball of ghostly me appeared, burning coldly.


    "Why do you think I named the cultivation technique of Shadow Realm, the [Art of Lesser Ghost] and [Art of Reaper]?"


    "It''s a sign that ''Shadows'' aren''t human anymore..."


    "You walked in the darkness that I paved with my light." Yu Long said nonchntly. "Unfortunately, you didn''t understand the darkness enough and wanted to walk in the world of living again."


    "What are you without Shadow Realm?"


    "Trash."


    "The weak of the weakest."


    "Bottom feeder."


    "Give me one reason I shouldn''t kill you?"


    "I-I-I have a family... They are innocent." The rebel responded ghastly.


    Yu Long smiled, "But you attacked other bases, and those people are innocent."


    "They are innocent, but you''re not!"


    "No, No, No! Don''t kill me, Lord Shadow!" The rebel panicked.


    "I will do anything. Please give me one more chance."


    "It''s my fault... It''s my fault for not following your order."


    "Well... Just die." Yu Long responded dully. No matter how much this guy pleads, Yu Long never takes his words seriously.


    One more chance?


    No, I gave you guys that one chance long ago.


    And now you threw it away.


    "NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!"


    The rebel screamed at the top of his lungs, but he slowly turned into a mummy and ashes. Yu Long emotionlessly watched the man crumble into nothingness.


    "Hah, I need to appoint another guy as the eleventh base''s leader." Yu Long sighed helplessly. He tilted his head and recalled a thief from the Divine Phoenix City.


    If he wasn''t wrong, that guy also hates one of the Four Great Sacred Grounds.


    "Hehe, I''d get my hands on a better subordinate."

    Chapter 77: Ghost Mirage Sacred Hand


    I have added this fanfic to my P4treon Page. You can support me and read advanced chapters there. It motivate me to write more chapters for you guys!

    --- Chapter 76 ---


    Yu Long and threedies entered the Divine Phoenix City.


    This ce was ten times bigger than Silver Lake City, thanks to it being the capital city in the Divine Phoenix Empire. The atmosphere also had slightly searing heat due to the ''huge number'' of profound practitioners with fire-attributed profound arts.


    Surrounded by tall red walls, the streets are clean, with people walking around with a hint of pride to be able to stand in this area.


    Numerous ''Profound Arks'' are hovering in the air, signifying the wealth of the residences.


    "So, those are Profound Arks, huh?" Yu Long gazed at the sky, finding these transportation tools amusing.


    A Profound Ark is a luxurious type of flying tool. It uses profound stones and crystals as a source of energy to fly and carry passengers. They can vary in size from a few meters to tens or hundreds of meters.Making one is extremely expensive, and the Profound Ark''s consumption of precious stones and crystals is even more costly.


    Those who can use a profound ark are people of high status and wealth.


    No one has used a Profound Ark in the Blue Wind Empire, whereas they are monly'' seen in the sky over Divine Phoenix City.


    Some Profound Arks have flown in and out of the Blue Wind Empire since the Lost Heaven Sect''s emergence, but those are nothingpared to the ones above Divine Phoenix City.


    It''s probably because the Lost Heaven Sect wasn''t as open as the Divine Phoenix City.


    No, if we are talking about being open, Silver Lake City should have that level of attraction. However, people from other nations still use carriages.


    "What a waste of resources." Yu Longmented helplessly. He could see a variation of several arrays in these Profound Arks, and each is very inefficient and burns profound energy faster than fossil fuels.


    Hong Guan was ''slightly'' amused by Yu Long''sment and added, "Young Master, if you want, we could make millions of these Profound Arks easily."


    "No, no, no! That would be a waste of money." Before Yu Long could reply, Lily t-out rejected this idea.


    As Shadow Realm''s fund manager, Lily knows how much waste it was to make Profound Arks. They have immense wealth, but she''d use it on funding other things than throw it on a useless piece of flying metal.


    "On top of that, our flying speed is faster than that garbage." She crossed her arms indigently.


    Chu Yueli giggled on the side, "I would never think of myself agreeing with this money-grubber, but she has a point."


    "Who is money-grubber, you shaved ice machine!" Lily countered in annoyance.


    "..." Chu Yueli''s mouth twitched.


    As much as she wanted to deny Lily''s statement, Yu Long and Yuyan liked to eat shaved ice after training.


    As the only person who cultivated [Chronicle of Frozen World], making shaved ice somehow became Chu Yueli''s permanent role. Yuyan even told her to always bring different kinds of syrups for it.


    Contrary to her fellow maids'' belief, Chu Yueli didn''t hate her job because the satisfaction on Yu Long''s face when eating her shaved ice somehow became her pleasure.


    After three years, she maximized her ''Shaved-Iced Technique'' and turned it into her regr training.


    Watching Lily''s boastful look as the sunny-looking maid puffed her chest made Chu Yueli want tough, but she held back.


    "Okay, stop fighting." Yu Long sighed while giving them a flick each on the forehead. It wasn''t painful, but enough to make them feel a little heat.


    Chu Yueli and Lily covered their heads, "Ouch..."


    Yu Long nced at Hong Guan and continued, "I want to find someone in this city."


    "I don''t know if he still lives here or not." He frowned because his existence most likely changed the world already.


    "Your job is to trace ''Lightning Element'' in the air."


    "Even if it is just a minuscule amount, you may report it to me."


    "Only that?" The three maids are surprised by this ''simple'' task.


    They thought their young master wanted to find a substitute for the leader of the eleventh base.


    "Consider it done." Hong Guan confidently smiled.


    As the maids disappeared, Yu Long whistled and stopped by a noodle stall. He''s currently in the outer southern area of the Divine Phoenix City.


    The stall ownerughed at the prospect of the new buyer and brought a clean and cold towel alongside roasted nuts for Yu Long.


    "Wee, wee, young sir." He said with a grin. He''s a modest man with tied ck hair and freckles.


    Yu Long smiled, "Give me two bowls of noodles."


    The stall owner giddily responded and returned to his cooking counter, "Okay,e right up."


    Yu Long stared at the sky and let [Lazy King''s Eears] and [Echolocation] be unrestricted for a while. He could hear a spectrum of sounds changes into strings in his mind.


    There are countless of them.


    One is big.


    One is small.


    Each moves in harmony, or so Yu Long thought.


    The Profound Practitioner''s moves sound different than ''normal'' people''s as their movement carries more energy. The ones in the city''s center and the far south-western area feel much, how to put it, chaotic?


    Yu Long raised his brows and heard a bowl rattling noise.


    It was the tall owner.


    "Two bowls of noodles are ready."


    "The condiments are on the table, so feel free to adjust the taste."


    "Thanks." Yu Long answered while picking up chopsticks.


    When he was about to slurp the noodles, Yu Long''s ears detected something.


    ''Young Master, a faint Lightning Element is near your location!'' Lily warned him.


    Yu Long shook his head gently and watched a fleeting white light blow the street, leaving nothing behind.


    Even the shadow didn''te after it.


    However, Yu Long didn''t pay much attention to the white light because it was a facade.


    It might fool people with weak senses, but not Yu Long''s.


    It sounds like bragging, but he could discern the profound strength in the atmosphere to the smallest detail.


    "There, I saw the light there!"


    "Hurry up! We should catch that petty thief quickly!"


    "He has stolen many things from our master''s house!"


    "Ghost Mirage Sacred Hand, You BASTARD!"!


    Several armored guards ran, chasing after the fleeting white light.


    Yu Long slurped his noodles and watched a man in a grayish-green robe sitting before him. This guy looks like a wandering warrior who has roamed the Profound Sky Continent.


    "Boss, give me a bowl and wine." The wandering warrior shouted with an ent.


    Yu Long leaned back and asked, "New to the city?"


    "Yeah, it''s my first time." The wandering warrior answered humbly.


    "Haha, I never expected the Divine Phoenix City to be this big." He added with a smallugh.


    "Same. It''s my first time as well." Yu Long chuckled in amusement.


    The stall owner brought a bowl of noodles and a wine jar to the table for the wandering warrior. "Enjoy~!" He said with a toothy smile.


    They enjoyed their meals, ignoring the fussy guards who ran back and forth around the area.


    Yu Long finished his first bowl and nced at the second bowl, "Hmm, not bad."


    Growl!


    Someone''s stomach growled. It was a kid in a brown robe. He stared at Yu Long''s second bowl of noodles intently.


    "Do you want this?" Yu Long asked casually.


    The kid nodded excitedly, but Yu Long''s following words shocked him.


    Yu Long started eating, "Then, keep watching."


    "This will teach you not to wish a good thing ''always'' happen."


    "The world doesn''t revolve around you..."


    "..." The kid.


    "..." The stall owner.


    "..." The wandering warrior.


    They stared at the handsome young man speechlessly.


    SLURPS~!


    Yu Long finished the second bowl quickly and patted his stomach in satisfaction. He rummaged through his spatial ring and ced down two yellow coins, which was the price of the meal.


    "Thanks for the food." He stood up and walked away.


    The three watched Yu Long''s back and had a curt expression on their faces.


    What the fuck was that?


    ...


    After a while, Yu Long sat above the roof of a building and watched the wandering warrior and the kid walking away.


    Heughed andmented, "You know your cover is blown already, right?"


    "The subtleness of your action can''t be hidden with ayer of disguise."


    "How did you know?" A mirage of lightning appeared behind Yu Long as a dagger pressed against his back.


    Yu Long hummed, "Your disguise is nearly perfect, but any normal business owner would show some nervousness when someone with authority is around."


    "On the other hand. You are still calm when guards pace back and forth in the area. No, you are still in the mood to make more noodles, hehe~!"


    "You''re gutsy, for an ordinary noodle stall owner, that is."


    "Tsk." A click of the tongue is all the response Yu Long gets.


    Yu Long stared into the distance and continued, "Nice to meet you again, Stall Owner."


    "Your noodles are not bad."


    "Or should I say... Ghost Mirage Sacred Hand?"


    "The most famous thief around."


    "Fuck. It Is the best thief in the Profound Sky Continent! Don''t get it wrong!"

    Chapter 78: New Subordinate


    I have added this fanfic to my P4treon Page. You can support me and read advanced chapters there. It motivate me to write more chapters for you guys!

    --- Chapter 77 ---


    Yu Longughed when the so-called thief proudly eximed himself as the best in the Profound Sky Continent. It was funny for Yu Long because no one would have the same confidence when meeting him.


    Even the Primordial Azure Dragon won''t be so smug.


    Yet Ghost Mirage Sacred Hand possesses such a quality. He didn''t know about Yu Long''s status and power, so this ignorant reaction was ''easily'' expected.


    "So, what do you want from me?" The thief opened his mouth.


    "No funny business because I''d kill you if it''s a half-assed offer."


    Yu Long rubbed his chin and answered casually, "Well, I''vee to recruit you.""However, you still need to pass some tests first."


    "Test?? You''re blowing my cover just for this?" The thief was speechless.


    "You gotta be kidding me? What makes you think I won''t kill you right fucking now?"


    Yu Long nced at the Ghost Mirage Sacred Hand, who currently wore the noodle stall owner''s disguise, andmented, "You can try."


    "But it wouldn''t be a good time for you."


    "Hmph!" With a sh of lightning, the dagger behind Yu Long''s back traveled at a sharp point and reached his neck.


    Yu Long nonchntly yawned and ignored the dagger that soon broke because of its low quality.


    Crack!


    Upon reaching Yu Long''s neck, the dagger snapped into three pieces.


    "..." Ghost Mirage Sacred Hand.


    My dagger!!


    Fuck!


    The thief grimaced as he realized this handsome-looking young man wasn''t your typical young master with low cultivation and strength.


    ''He''s a monster! My dagger was created with Profound Yin Steel, so nothing below Emperor Profound Realm could break it!'' He stared at Yu Long solemnly.


    Are you telling me this young man''s body is that of Emperor Profound Realm or above?


    Hell no, Ghost Mirage Sacred Hand won''t stay here any longer.


    "First test, you may run as far as possible. I''ll give you a ten-second head start." Yu Long stated while chewing on a meat jerky.


    "Go."


    ''I would be at a loss if you''re testing my prowess, but run?'' Ghost Mirage Sacred Hand snorted and disappeared with a sh of lightning. In terms of speed, no one could rival him.


    In a third of a second, Ghost Mirage Sacred Hand has traveled several hundred meters away. He also changed his appearance and steps.


    Unknown to Ghost Mirage Sacred Hand, no matter how far he ran, he wouldn''t escape from Yu Long''s grasp.


    [Abyssal Hunt Mark]


    Yu Long can detect his target like a predator by cing a ''certain'' scent on his prey. This ability won''t get repelled by Spatial Movement and also weakens the target''s sense by consuming their blood essence.


    Not everyone is like Yu Long because a ''normal'' cultivator has a limited blood essence.


    Three ''great'' changes when entering Sky Profound Realm are profound energy, perception, and body. Upon entering this realm, one''s energy gained a qualitative transformation and evolved as if it had wings.


    The energy bes one with an atmospheric environment, allowing Sky Profound Realm Experts to use the Profound Floating Technique and fly.


    Their perception also increased as it opened a new realm: the Gate of Sky to them.


    Gate of Sky is the opening realm when one''s profound art sublime under continuous umtion, which allows one toprehend a domain.


    Of course,prehending it doesn''t mean using it.


    And body. The body of Sky Profound Realm Expert is different than Earth Profound Realms.


    As if practitioners'' bodies were ''randomly'' blessed with profound strength in the atmosphere, they cracked out of their mortal cocoon. They started their path into immortality, in this case, a ''bigger'' profound way known as the Divine Realm.


    Their blood essence multiplied by a hundred times that of Earth''s Profound Realm. Their bodies gained rapid explosive power and could decimate small mountains with enough preparation.


    "But it''s far from enough to run away from Abyssal Hunt Mark." Yu Long enjoyed his jerky. "Nine seconds would be the limit Ghost Mirage Sacred Hand has."


    Eight secondster.


    Several kilometers away outside the Divine Phoenix City, Ghost Mirage Sacred Hand suddenly kneeled on the ground and panted like a sick dog.


    "What??" A confused expression stered his new disguise, a young woman in a ck robe.


    "Since when did my stamina be so poor? I can outrun Throne-level experts, but this..."


    "I felt so weak."


    Ghost Mirage Sacred Hand blinked and saw Yu Long leaning on a tree before him.


    "..." The disguise''s red lips twitched in disbelief.


    "W-When did you get here?"


    "Just now?" Yu Long smiled at him.


    ''Just now? Like I''d believe that!'' Ghost Mirage Sacred Hand stared at Yu Long dumbly.


    "Oh, you ran 33.5 kilometers away in just ten seconds. Could be better, but not bad." Yu Long observed the Ghost Mirage Sacred Hand''s profound veins.


    "Your profound energy circtes smooth enough to put you above the rest of the simr realm. But it won''t cut it for me."


    "Too much inefficiency and waste of energy is made when using your profound arts. Your presence concealing is strong but wed in a certain way."


    Ghost Mirage Sacred Hand shivered.


    Not because Yu Long could catch up to him but because he could tell his profound energy and presence


    Ghost Mirage Sacred Hand cultivated [Extreme Mirage Lightning], and it was a movement skill hereditary to his n.


    [Extreme Mirage Lightning] has two core usages.


    First, Hidden Flowing Lightning.


    It allows the user to suppress his profound energy aura within a range determined by the user, and it also allows the user to disy an energy that would seem far weaker than it was. At peak, one could hide and manipte energy to the ''weakest'' feeble stage.


    Simply put, Ghost Mirage Sacred Hand could turn himself(on top of disguise) into an ordinary person with no cultivation whatsoever.


    Yet Yu Long could still catch the subtleness of his energy.


    It is terrifying!


    Second, Extreme Mirage Lightning itself.


    A movement skill that even gods and devils could not fathom. It would allow the user to outrun opponents that are realms above their own!


    However, this terrifying young man could outpace him.


    "Let''s start with the second test." Yu Long crossed his arms.


    "All you need to do is resist my aura."


    "If you pass this, you will be my direct subordinate and be gifted with a chance to fulfill your wish."


    "Ready?" He shed a smile at the Ghost Mirage Sacred Hand.


    The thief swallowed nervously, "R-Ready."


    [Ultimate Predator''s Gaze]


    Under the thief''s watchful eyes, Yu Long''s golden eyes suddenly emitted an intense, bloody aura.


    The world lost its color.


    The air became stagnant as the single thing Ghost Mirage Sacred Hand could sense right now was his own beating heart.


    His instinct screamed, telling him to run away.


    Nevertheless, every inch of his muscle seemingly gave up.


    He couldn''t gather any energy.


    Thud!


    Thud!


    Thud!


    The loud sound of a heart beatinges from the thief''s chest.


    Coldness washed his body.


    An image of a woman shed in the Ghost Mirage Sacred Hand''s mind, and countless hatred toward one of the Four Great Sacred Grounds. He didn''t know, but this buried feeling burst out at this very moment.


    ''As expected, he has a special bloodline as well.'' Yu Long''s eyes lit up because a sleeping beast inside this man was about to awaken.


    In the original story, thanks to the Ghost Mirage Sacred Hand, Yun Che obtained [Extreme Mirage Lightning] and escaped from near-death experiences several times.


    Not only that but [Extreme Mirage Lightning] is also suitable to be paired with other movement-type profound art because it carries the concept of lightning and speed.


    Such a profound art carries a ''mystery'' that shouldn''t exist in the current era.


    Yu Long suspected it came from the era near the Age of Gods.


    Yes, An inheritance from a God or Devil Race.


    "At least some of the essence is still there." Yu Long grinned slightly.


    BANG!


    Ghost Mirage Sacred Hand stood up and sessfully broke into 1st level of Emperor Profound Realm. He gasped for air and stared at Yu Long as if he were a monstrous entity, a god.


    Yu Long gave off a feeling of boundless sea.


    "T-Thank you for helping me, your highness!" He kneeled on the ground fearfully and gratefully.


    Yu Long chuckled and waved his hand, "Haha, it''s nothing."


    "I simply open a gap for you to enter."


    "And you pass that gate and my test."


    "Congrattions, you''re qualified to join my Shadow Realm." He extended his hand. "By taking my hand, your fate will change drastically..."


    Ghost Mirage Sacred Hand''s heart shook as he remembered Yu Long''s godly prowess earlier. He grasped Yu Long''s hand, "Please take care of me well from now on, your highness!"


    "Good, good."


    "By the way, what''s your name again?" Yu Long asked cluelessly.


    Ghost Mirage Sacred Hand once again felt speechless.


    His mouth and eyebrows twitched, "M-My name is Hua Minghai."


    Unknown to Hua Minghai, this is the starting point for him to be Divine Commander of Speed and Yu Long''s right hand.

 Chapter 79: Helping Hua Minghais Wife

    Chapter 79: Helping Hua Minghai''s Wife


    I have added this fanfic to my P4treon Page. You can support me and read advanced chapters there. It motivate me to write more chapters for you guys!


    Link: /NineClouds69


    --- Chapter 78 ---


    Five people are walking in the dark alley.


    This ce is the ''richest'' part of the Divine Phoenix City, nearing the center and the busiest area. One might think someone like Hua Minghai, the Ghost Mirage Sacred Hand, would put his safe house somewhere discreet.


    But no, Hua Minghai thought outside the box.


    What''s better than hiding in your enemy''s core territory itself?


    Entering a secret passage, Hua Minghai led Yu Long and his maids to a nice-looking courtyard with an artificial river and a garden full of flowers.


    Hua Minghai has changed into a new appearance to that of a middle-aged gentleman, modeling a ck robe with a golden rim. He has long ck hair loose to his back and stubble.Some servants bowed to Hua Minghai, and he dismissed them with a casual hand wave.


    Sitting in a tea room, Hua Minghai sat on a chair and said, "Wee to my humble abode."


    Yu Long smiled, "Quite a nice ce you have here."


    "I bet the people you robbed would have never thought you''d live in the same neighborhood as them."


    "They are." Hua Minghaiughed a little. "While they are busy chasing my afterimages, I enjoyed their riches in my home."


    "Hehe, I even loaned their ''own'' money back with some nice interest."


    ''Damn. What an evil man!'' Hong Guan and Chu Yueli thought at the same time.


    Lily''s eyes sparkled as shemented, "I think we can be good friends with each other, Hua Minghai."


    "By the way, my name is Lily. I''m one of the Shadow Brides. Code Name: Fawning Owl."


    "You think so?" Hua Minghai was surprised.


    Why did this youngdy look excited for some reason? What a weird development.


    Lily cleared her throat and added, "Ehem, have you ever heard of moneyundering?"


    "Hoh, go on..." Hua Minghai put on a curious look.


    Hong Guan and Chu Yueli nced at each other, feeling the chaos that was about to happen.


    Yu Long checked the courtyard and sensed a weak life force in the nearby room. He frowned slightly and discovered a cold poison enough to kill many profound practitioners.


    As Hua Minghai and Lily discussed business, Yu Long finally opened his mouth and questioned. "Is the woman in the third room okay? I assumed that the cold poison in her body wasn''t a mistake."


    Hua Mingai''s expression became grave as he sighed, "You actually sensed that from here... As expected from the lord that I decided to serve."


    "That woman is my wife. Ru Xiaoya."


    "Around a few years ago, my Hua n was a big n in the south, and we have a legacy known as the Lightning Speed School."


    "However, a disaster urred. My n was used of heinous crimes and murdered out of cold blood. It wasn''t a coincidence when the young master of Sun Moon Divine Hall suddenly appeared and took the fancy of my wife''s beauty a few months before that."


    "He told me a mere n like us deserved only to be his dog." Hua Minghai clenched his hand tightly. "That son of a bitch killed my family like it was a game for him."


    "All because we rejected his advance..."


    "He crippled my wife''s cultivation and poisoned her with extreme cold poison. With such a frail body, how could she resist the poison? I began to steal treasure and medicine for her health."


    "Just you know, I used to only steal from corrupts, but for my wife... I''m willing to do anything."


    Given the current situation, Hua Minghai even wished the monstrous god-like expert Yu Long to have an otherworldly medicinal skill.


    Even if Yu Long doesn''t possess such mastery, the Shadow Realm Hua Minghai just joined must have a rare medicine to cure Sun Moon Divine Hall''s extremely cold poison.


    "Calm down." Yu Long patted Hua Minghai''s shoulders in a carefree manner. "It''s just an extremely cold poison."


    "I can deal with it without lifting my hand." He boasted a secondter.


    "..." The three maids.


    They didn''t doubt Yu Long''s medicinal skill, but why did he phrase it like that? He sounds like a young master.


    Wait, Is he perhaps embracing his role as the young master?


    Yu Long ignored the questioning gazes of his maids and stared at Hua Minghai, "Give me a few seconds."


    "Can you really do it?" Hua Minghai hesitated.


    Yu Long smiled and gave him a thumbs-up, "Leave it to me."


    They went to Ru Xiaoya''s room and found a pale-looking woman lying on the king-sized bed. She wore a white, snowy robe.


    She looks no different than a corpse from Yu Long''s perspective, but there is a steady life force rummaging deep in her body as if she is not willing to give up.


    Yu Long acknowledged Hua Minghai''s effort to keep his wife alive by feeding her rare treasures and medicines that extend one''s lifespan and cleanse the cold energy.


    Even the leaders of 1st ss sects in the area don''t have such luxury, with the Divine Phoenix Sect being the exception.


    On top of that, Yu Long also noticed that Ru Xiaoya''s physique changed due to the constant feeding of medicine. She couldn''t even absorb all of them, which caused her body to be more like a tonic.


    Unfortunately, the cold energy has seeped into her body and spine for too long, causing the medicinal effect to be inefficient. The poison has be part of her body.


    Both poison and medicine fought fiercely in her frail body.


    Yu Long stared at Ru Xiaoya quietly and activated [Kaiju Maker], observing her inner body.


    "Haha, Minghai. You''re a lucky bastard to have a wife like her." Yu Long suddenlymented.


    "Eh?" Hua Minghai tilted his head in confusion.


    Yu Long used [Kaiju Maker] to read Ru Xiaoya''s bio information and discovered she was still alive because of her strong will to be on her husband''s side.


    Even if the chance is tiny, even if she had to endure life-destroying pain, she would try anything to resist death!


    Yu Long snapped his finger, and white light escaped his body, entering Ru Xiaoya''s forehead. Bright green rays of vitality spread from the bed.


    Ru Xiaoya gasped as herplexion became better.


    Her profound veins gradually fixed and revealed a flushed green light, which looked like crystal.


    Light and Ice Elements burst from her body, wrapping her like a cocoon.


    Crack! Boom!


    The ice cocoon shattered into white haze, covering the whole room.


    Hua Minghai blinked in disbelief as a feminine figure sat on the ice-covered bed. His eyes widened because the once-paledplexion had be flushed red with healthiness.


    Tears came from Hua Minghai''s eyes as he rushed to the bed and hugged his wife.


    "Xiaoya!"


    "M-Minghai?" Ru Xiaoya opened her eyes in bewilderment. "What happened here?"


    "You''re cured, Xiaoya!" Hua Minghai excitedly said like a child. He couldn''t contain his happiness.


    Yu Long shook his head gently and left them alone for a moment. He brought his maids out and stared at the sun in the azure sky.


    "Did you really heal her, Young Master?" Hong Guan was suspicious because she felt the usage of profound aspects a moment ago.


    Yu Long smirked, "Technically speaking, yes."


    "I only give Hua Minghai''s wife what she deserves."


    "Ru Xiaoya would notice the change in her profound veins soon. Yueli, you''ll be in charge of training her from now on." He added casually.


    "You could also share the first three chapters of [Chronicle of Frozen World] with her."


    "Noted." Chu Yueli nodded calmly. She was curious about what changes Yu Long made to Ru Xiaoya.


    It should be a significant change, considering the intense chill earlier.


    After a while, Hua Minghai and Ru Xiaoya finallye out. They couldn''t hide the happiness from their faces.


    "My lord." They bowed before Yu Long.


    "Mm." Yu Long leaned against a tree.


    Hua Minghai looked up and vowed, "From now on, I, Hua Minghai, will follow you to death!"


    "I swore on my ancestor''s name that I''d never betray your trust!"


    Ru Xiaoya patted her husband''s back and bowed, "Thank you for curing me, my lord."


    "I don''t know how to repay your kindness, but like my husband said. We wouldn''t betray your trust and stay loyal forever."


    "Sure, I will take both of your words for granted." Yu Long agreed with their pledge without much of a fuss. "From now on, Hua Minghai will be the branch leader of Eleventh Base."


    "And you, Ru Xiaoya, will be the vice-leader."


    "YES! WE WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN!" They responded with firm determination.


    "Good." Yu Longughed. This is easy recement for his loss a while ago.

    --- Chapter 79 ---


    Yu Long decided to stay in the Divine Phoenix City for today.


    After eliminating some rats, he wasn''t in the mood to travel back to the Drifting River City, even though he could do so in the blink of an eye.


    Fortunately, Yu Long has a dependable subordinate like Hua Minghai to rece the ungrateful ones. As for Ru Xiaoya, he would see if the wife of the Ghost Mirage Sacred Hand possesses the heart of a cultivator and someprehension talent first.


    Yu Long received the Extreme Mirage Lightning from Hua Minghai.


    It was a hereditary movement-type profound art from the Hua n, and Hua Minghai couldn''t share it this easily with others, but Yu Long saved his wife and the lord he must serve from now on.


    Weirdly, Yu Long also wanted a few drops of Hua Minghai''s blood, which confused the thief, but still agreed to the request nheless.Analyzing Hua Minghai''s blood, Yu Long discovered an interesting fact about Hua n''s ancestors.


    They were neither Beast, God, or Devil Race.


    They were nothing but ancient humans who gained inspiration from the Age of Gods and created [Dawnbreak Chase Art] to run away from destruction, imprinting it to their bloodline.


    The Hua n passed it down from generation to generation.


    However, the Dawnbreak Chase Art gradually weakened into the Extreme Mirage Lightning because of the cruel difference in eras. The human of this age couldn''t possibly endure the intensity of having one''s body constantly stimted with lightning charge.


    Even then, Extreme Mirage Lightning still contained the concept of extreme speed from Lightning itself.


    The stealth ability it provided proved effective for Hua Minghai, who could trick and outrun experts at two ''major'' realms above him.


    "Hmm, I could have unearthed [Dawnbreak Chase Art] like what I did to the [Ice Phoenix God Investiture Canon], but what Hua Minghai needs currently isn''t that."


    "He didn''tck the means of escape, but fight."


    With that in mind, Yu Long let his creative thoughts wander around the new [Art Series] he umted over the past three years.


    The [Orthodox] and [Unorthodox] Paths will decide whether Hua Minghai will advanceter.


    "Let''s begin..." Yu Long closed his eyes and meditated.


    On the outside, it looks like Yu Long brooded for only three minutes, but he actually spent around three hours or so in his mind space.


    Since Yu Long got a new subordinate, he couldn''t let the man down.


    Searching for Hua Minghai, Yu Long spotted him with his wife.


    Yu Long walked on them, hugging each other while watching the garden, and bitterly smiled. "This is your first gift from me. Train well." He sent a sound transmission, and information suddenly rushed to Hua Minghai''s head.


    Hua Minghai''s eyes widened in shock because a profound art book appeared in his head.


    This profound art is not like others, giving Hua Minghai a headache by simply reciting the first five pages of it.


    A name also echoed in his head.


    [Unorthodox - Dark Speed Force]


    "..." Hua Minghai couldn''t hide his shock.


    "What happened? Why did you look so stunned?" Ru Xiaoya, his wife, asked worriedly.


    Hua Minghai put on a wry expression and replied, "Well... It seems we are more indebted to the lord now."


    Unknown to Hua Minghai, this is just the beginning.


    As Hua Minghai follows Yu Long, many ridiculous things he doesn''t know about would open his ignorant vision of the world.


    Sun Moon Divine Hall, the opponent he swore to destroy, is merely a speck of dust in the Primal Chaos.


    ...


    Yu Long walked on the street, whistling like it was Saturday night.


    He left the couple alone and decided to walk around the Divine Phoenix City.


    You might wonder, where are Yu Long''s beautiful maids?


    They are doing an errand on the eleventh base, cleaning some trash left behind by the rebels.


    After strolling and visiting some shops, Yu Long arrived at a majestic entrance to a busy-looking za.


    The words ''ck Moon Merchant Guild'' are disyed on a bold redwood que at the top of the entrance, shining with dim gold colors thanks to the sun''s rays.


    "Hmm... This ce is?" Yu Long checked his memory for a bit. It''s been a while since he read Against the God, but as he recovered his past life memory, more information he recovered.


    Strictly speaking, he forgot some minor details.


    "Ah, this ce is the headquarters of the ck Moon Merchant Guild."


    Yu Long rubbed his chin and walked into the entrance, observing the za ahead with great interest.


    In front of Yu Long is an ''extremely'' vast za. The za was full of people, but the most ''concentrated'' area was none other than a gigantic crystal stone stage.


    There is also a pagoda behind it, which is the ck Moon Merchant Headquarters'' main building.


    Focusing his attention on the crystal stone stage, Yu Long recalled it being the way to enter the main building. Of course, it was a test.


    "Testing your customer''s level to sort their qualification. I have to give the ck Moon Merchant Guild a hat for this genius marketing, especially in this cultivation world." Yu Long sarcastically said.


    The crystal stone stage was ''purposely'' separated into several crystal pirs, and at the front of every crystal was a vertical profound array that was slowly swirling around.


    These profound arrays were distributed uniformly around the crystal stone stage. Each was glowing with a mysterious and unfathomable rainbow-colored light.


    Yu Long used his Insect Emperor''s Vision and noticed the array reflecting between the colors of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet alternatively at a constant pace.


    As a master of arrays himself, Yu Long could deduce the function of the crystal stage, which functions simrly to scanners in supermarkets.


    The arrays scanned one''s bone age, cultivation base, and even profound veins'' opened entrances.


    Oh, it also calcted one''s force released when using profound skill, further increasing the viability of one''s talent.


    It''s good but too ''basic'' for Yu Long''s liking. As he created the Lost Heaven Sect, the only measure one must have is a strong ''heart'' to cultivate.


    When one''s heart is adequate enough, one could be a ''good'' talent to nurture.


    After all, one could increase sensitivity toward profound strength and the ''world'' by consuming medicines.


    A man stepped onto the crystal stone stage.


    He looks no older than twenty-six, with the cultivation of the 3rd Level of Earth Profound Realm.


    This man may be talented in his homnd, but here? Reaching the 3rd Level of Earth Profound Realm at twenty isn''t unusual.


    Some geniuses have reached Sky Profound Realm and Emperor Profound Realm at his age.


    The array is activated, and the man unleashes his profound arts to the fullest, causing a red light toe from his arms.


    "Arms of Heavenly Sun!" He arrogantly shouted, punching the profound array.


    The air trembled slightly, and a small shockwave washed the crystal stone stage. The array formation around the crystal pirs calcted every factor and emitted dim yellow light.


    Yu Long facepalmed, "Ayaya, what an embarrassing performance."


    "Hmph, if you can do better, step on the stage then!" Someone coldly harrumphed beside Yu Long.


    Yu Long nced at the spot beside him and spotted a youngdy in a red robe. With light brown hair, matching eyes, an oval face, and a sharp nose, the tiger coat on her back makes her look fierce.


    "Are you talking to me?" He tilted his head.


    The youngdy crossed her hand andmented, "Yes, do you have a problem with it? People like you are all bark, no talk."


    "Youment on others, but I bet you couldn''t even reach more than yellow level like that guy."


    Yu Long chuckled in amusement because this youngdy was probably looking down on him as she couldn''t detect anything special about his current cultivation.


    Yes, Yu Long looks and feels no different than an ordinary young master with no cultivation base currently. And it is because of his precise control over profound strength.


    "Oh, what if I could reach more than that fellow?" He narrowed his eyes at the youngdy.


    "Hmph, then thisdy will bestow you a Profound Ark!" The youngdy confidently replied.


    "Don''t regret itter."


    ''I will make a profit with one punch.'' Yu Long snickered inside and walked to the crystal stone stage, gaining everyone''s attention. His step is firm, causing a loud thud on the ground every step.


    "Hmm?" On the highest floor of the pagoda, an elderly dressed in purple robes noticed a person who caught his interest. "His breath is steady, and he strode with confidence..."


    "I can''t sense his cultivation base for some reason..."


    "But I felt like I had seen him somewhere else before. ck hair, golden eyes, with a mysterious aura around him." As the purple-robed elder pondered deeply, his eyes met Yu Long''s.


    "Eh?"


    "Did he feel my gaze? There is no way. The highest floor of my ck Moon Pagoda is ''thoroughly'' covered with arrays formation."


    Yu Long ignored the elder''s gaze and stared at the profound array before him. He lifted his right hand and balled it into a fist.


    All of a sudden, everyone felt suffocated, including the purple-robed elder.


    Yu Long casually threw his hand. It was slow and not shypared to the man''s attack before.


    Regardless, the force behind thisckluster punch was enough to make the purple-robed elder flustered in disbelief.


    "No way, No way, NO WAY!" A core memory shed in the purple-robed elder''s mind. "That young man is..."


    BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!


    The profound array experienced a st.


    Yu Long''s fist gently pushed the array of stones, causing it to crack.


    As the crack spread like spider webs, immense energy traveled into the array. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and purple colors blinked one after another rapidly.


    CRACK!


    The crystal stone stage shattered into seven pieces.


    "..." Everyone.


    "..." Purple-robed elder.


    "..." The youngdy.


    Yu Long smiled and stretched his hand at the youngdy, "Where is my Profound Ark? Give it to me."

    Chapter 81: Unexpected Treasured Item

    --- Chapter 80 ---


    At the highest floor of the ck Moon Pagoda, Zi Ji(The Merchant Guild''s Master) stared at the young man sitting before him. Even though he disappeared for three years, Zi Ji could still find the resemnce to the Lost Heaven Master''s disciple''s younger self.


    The shocking young talent three years ago has grown into a ferocious monster with unfathomable strength. To destroy a tform made with luminous rainbow stone crystal, which was a peak of Emperor Profound Realm materials, Yu Long probably has reached the early stage of Tyrant Profound Realm.


    Yu Long sipped his tea andmented, "Nice tea."


    "I''m d you like it. The ck Moon Merchant Guild always provides the best quality of tea." Zi Ji responded with a humble smile. "This season is quite good. The floral leaves used to make ''Crescent Gold Tea'' are growing nicely."


    Yu Long nodded because the tea Zi Ji served was actually a rare spiritual medicine that could refine one''s mental power. The effect is weak for Yu Long, who has deep and endless mental power.


    "So, what''s the purpose of your visit? Oh, the disciple of the Lost Heaven Master..." Zi Ji uttered calmly.The corner of Yu Long''s mouth twitched as he waved his hand, "Don''t call me like that. Yu Long is fine."


    "Then, Young Master Yu Long, may I know why you are here?" Zi Ji fixed his sentence.


    Yu Long stared at him and answered, "Just for a breather."


    "I''ve been training in solitary for too long, so my master gives me a leeway to enjoy my time outside."


    "Also, sorry for the crystal stone stage and array formation."


    "Haha, it''s okay. Although the luminous crystal stones are rare, they aren''t scarce enough to make my merchant guild flustered. We also have a dedicated array master for this matter." Zi Ji responded with a smallugh.


    "A new one will be on the za in a week or so."


    "You guys are rich." Yu Long chuckled in amusement.


    "We are merchants. Money is our thing. Theye and go in a matter of seconds..." Zi Ji enjoyed the conversation.


    After all, he could show Yu Long that the ck Moon Merchant Guild is the best in the Profound Sky Continent.


    "So, I assume you don''t want thepensation of one hundred Greater Heart Linking Pills?"


    Crash!


    Zi Ji choked on his tea and identally crushed the armrest of his chair into dust. He failed to control his strength, which allowed Yu Long to determine his cultivation base.


    ''Hmm, He''s at the 8th Level of Sovereign Profound Realm. Not bad for a shady businessman.'' Yu Long thought to himself.


    However, when Yu Long thought about it, it was ''normal'' for this purple-robed elder to reach such a realm.


    The public didn''t know, but Zi Ji is ''intimately'' rted to one of the Great Sacred Grounds. Yes, he''s the husband of Supreme Ocean Pca''s ruler.


    It would be weird if Zi Ji didn''t have a high cultivation.


    So, this elder is quite fortunate.


    "G-Greater Heart Linking Pills..." Zi Ji frowned slightly.


    "I-If I may know, what''s the effect of this pill?"


    Yu Long opened his mouth and answered, "They are two or three times better than ordinary Heart Linking Pills. Upon consumption, one could enjoy the sensitivity for a longer period."


    Zi Ji was shocked but tried to calm himself down. "How long?"


    "Depends on the person, but usually three hours." Yu Long casually returned.


    Truthfully, the Greater Heart Linking Pills are only ten ordinary versionsbined into one. The disciples of the Lost Heaven Sect usually used it to feed farm animals(domesticated profound beasts) on the mountain range because it would make them bigger and healthier.


    Of course, Yu Long wouldn''t tell this part to Zi Ji. He''s trying to scam Zi Ji for rare things in the ck Moon Merchant Guild.


    Since this is the headquarters, they must have one or two rare things.


    Zi Ji doesn''t realize anything weird about this because everything goes ording to Yu Long''s n. Yu Long could easily control his strength when attacking the profound array in the crystal stone stage, but he didn''t.


    Hehehe, he won a Profound Ark and a chance to scam this purple-robed elder.


    "Here, the sample." Yu Long picked a Greater Heart Linking Pill and ced it on the table. The whiff of aroma immediately attacked Zi Ji''s nostrils, causing his old body to tremble.


    ''S-Such a high-quality pill.'' The Guild Master of ck Moon Merchant''s face bes more solemn.


    ''The Lost Heaven Master is not only a Monarch-level Expert, but also a godlike alchemist.''


    If Yu Long knew what Zi Ji was thinking, he would beughing his ass off right now.


    Godly alchemist?


    Greater Heart Linking Pill, or just Heart Linking Pill in general, is the waste released by Yu Long''s first-ever Kaiju, Woby.


    A byproduct.


    Shit, if we used a more ''rough'' term.


    Yu Long maintained a bored look as Zi Ji observed the Greater Heart Linking Pill from every corner. The elder even brought spectacle and some appraisal devices, as if the pill was beyond his expectation.


    "Marvelous, marvelous..." Sometimes, Zi Ji mumbled like a fool.


    "So you could make a pill like this."


    Yu Long finished his tea and ced the cup on the table, "How is the pill?"


    "Up to your standard?"


    "Well..." Zi Ji contained his shock and returned to his businessman persona.


    "Are you sure you wanted topensate me with 100 of this? The value of one pill alone could fetch you a ton of resources or several rare treasures at Tyrant Profound Realm."


    Yu Long nodded, "I''m sure."


    "But if you have a rare item that might interest me, I will add ten more Greater Heart Linking Pills for each rare treasure. What do you think?"


    "T-Ten?" Zi Ji contemted in his head.


    Zi Ji didn''t cast suspicion on Yu Long for having these many pills because he was well-known for being the only disciple of Lost Heaven Master. His master probably gave these pills for his usage.


    ''More Greater Heart Linking Pills. I''ve made a profit!!'' Zi Ji unknowinglyughed in his heart.


    He pped his hand, and a beautiful servant brought a spatial ring to Zi Ji, who fished out ten grand-looking boxes of various sizes. Each is ''thoroughly'' made with rare and expensive materials.


    Zi Ji opened the first box and revealed ginseng the size of one''s head, emitting rich medicinal prowess. This kind of medicine could extend one''s life by a hundred years and recover one''s lost vigor.


    It was useless for Yu Long, who recently turned 16.


    Not interested, Yu Long told Zi Ji to open another one.


    Up to the fifth item, none of them pique Yu Long''s interest.


    "Haha..." Zi Ji has a helpless expression on his face.


    Compared to all the customers he has served over the years, Yu Long is the most difficult to please. Unlike those old fellows who are afraid of old age and like aged wines, Yu Long is unbearably young. He also didn''tck rare medicine because of his upbringing.


    It left Zi Ji in a difficult position.


    When Zi Ji opened the sixth box, Yu Long''s eyebrows finally furrowed.


    Lies inside the cold wooden box is a heart-shaped crimson crystal with intense blood energy, something one below Tyrant Profound Realm couldn''t handle.


    An example is the female servant, who has fallen on the ground with a foaming mouth.


    "This is..."


    "Crimson Heart, a near-extinct core harvested from Tyrant Profound Beast called Olden Wood Nightmare." Zi Ji answered quickly, closing the box again. "This is one rare medicine with the property to refine one''s body to the mortal limit."


    "However, I must warn you that the process is ''extremely'' painful. In ancient records, three people tried to consume the Olden Wood Nightmare''s Core a.k.a the Crimson Heart, and two ended up dying from pain..."


    "One survived and dominated an era before perishing due to prolonged heart disease."


    "And those people were Sovereign Profound Realm Experts!"


    It is the kind of treasure one couldn''t buy, not because one didn''t have money, but because one was afraid of having it.


    "I will take it. Next." Yu Long said calmly.


    After talking with Yu Long for several minutes, Zi Ji slightly understood the surface personality of Yu Long, so he didn''t persuade him further about the Profound Core.


    Zi Ji opened the seventh box, and the item inside was a vial of blood.


    "This is the blood of a long-extinct Profound Beast. It''s called the Great Mawing Beast, a great tonic for a profound cultivator as it strengthens one''s profound strength by two levels."


    "I''ll take it."


    "Next."


    "8th box. Moon''s Blessing."


    "A pendant made of pure and refined moon crystal. It increases one''s cultivation speed three times, but only for profound practitioners below the Sovereign Profound Realm."


    "There is a built-in ''escape array'' in the Moon''s Blessing that could teleport its wielder from danger. You can set the mark of teleportation, and the limit is two spots. "


    "Is there a limit of usage?"


    "Unfortunately, Moon''s Blessing can only be used once every week because it requires a massive amount of energy to teleport."


    "The design is nice. I will take it as well."


    "Next."


    "Ninth box. This item is something the ck Moon Merchant Guild discovered about sixteen years ago, but even after so long a time, we couldn''t determine its origin."


    "We called it Star Egg because this sphere-shaped object releases rich star and life energy, which is very beneficial for a certain profound practitioner."


    "On top of that, the Star Egg could make one''s blood essence recover faster and cause a transformation in one''s physique to that of a profound beast''s characteristic."


    "But don''t worry, the transformation is temporary."


    "Young Master Yu Long, are you listening?" Zi Ji noticed the quietness.


    Yu Long''s expression subtly darkened as he gazed into the ninth box. He couldn''t be more familiar with this item.


    Because it was none other than Essence Sphere, something only he, the Kaiju Maker, could create!


    How did Essence Sphere end up here??

    --- Chapter 81 ---


    Yu Long was quiet.


    He stared at the crimson sphere in the ninth box silently.


    The crimson sphere is the size of an adult''s palm with a crack all over it and this mutated neon auraing out.


    Zi Ji thought Yu Long didn''t like this treasured item, but he couldn''t be more wrong.


    At this very moment, Yu Long was shocked and confused at the sudden formation of his ''essence sphere'' in this world. He knew this one wasn''t ''recently'' created, meaning it came from his past life.


    Yu Long wanted to observe the essence sphere closely. However, he couldn''t possibly use [Kaiju Maker] in front of Zi Ji.As if he made a deep thought, Yu Long frowned and said, "I will take this thing as well."


    "Are you sure?" Zi Ji was confused by Yu Long''s decision.


    Even though Star Egg is a treasured item that everyone can use, its usage bes obsolete for Tyrant Profound Realm or above because of the ''small enhancement'' the transformation provides.


    Star Egg also has a problem with its transformation being very short.


    This Star Egg, in particr, is rare because it could allow someone to transform into an ''armored beast'' with the lightning element.


    "Yes." Yu Long answered casually. "Wrap it for me."


    "Very well." Zi Ji sighed helplessly.


    "Also, can you answer my question?" Yu Long''s golden eyes flickered slightly.


    Zi Ji tilted his head but answered, "Hmm, sure."


    "Does this thing, I mean Star Egg, rare?"


    Hearing this question, Zi Ji chuckled and responded. "Star Egg is a scarce treasure, but we could find more of it if you want to."


    "However, Star Egges with different variations and quality. The one I have here is the best in the Profound Sky Continent."


    "The lower quality ones aren''t bad, but they are pretty much useless against profound practitioners with high cultivation."


    "I see..." Yu Long mumbled. It was weird because the Shadow Realm hadn''t heard anything about this matter.


    Did the Four Great Sacred Grounds hide Star Egg''s information from the public?


    Zi Ji said sixteen years.


    It is the same years since Yu Long reincarnated into this world.


    Yu Long must order Shadow Realm to gather more intel about Star Egg ASAP.


    He couldn''t let an unsupervised essence sphere roam around the Primal Chaos, or something unpleasant would happen.


    Meanwhile, Zi Ji was bewildered by Yu Long''s acts.


    This young man''s taste is very random.


    Well, Zi Ji has several more arduous customers than Yu Long.


    Opening thest box, Zi Ji shed a small smile and revealed the best treasured item ck Moon Merchant Guild has had in six months. This thing took them a serious amount of resources to get.


    Something that even might shock Yu Long to the core.


    "This is the best treasure we have this year."


    "We found it in the deste forest of the west, very close to the ruin of the ancient site."


    "People in the ancient record called this thing..."


    "Soul Chasing Spear."


    "Spear?" Yu Long stared dumbly at thest item.


    Zi Ji wasn''t wrong, but the item inside the box was just a rusty spearhead with burnt marks.


    It was nothing special in Yu Long''s eyes. And he pretended to be interested at first.


    Yu Long used [Profound Sense] and discovered something was ''actually'' sealed inside the spearhead. It was faint, but the thing couldn''t hide from his powerful sense.


    ''Hoh, there is a trace of a profound aspect...'' Yu Long was amused.


    He cleared his throat and said, "I will also take this."


    "That adds up to five treasures so far, so I will add fifty more Greater Heart Linking Pills."


    After cing fifteen jade bottles on the table, Yu Long grabbed the treasure box one by one and stored them inside his spatial ring.


    Zi Ji hid his excited expression as he grabbed the jade bottles,"It''s my pleasure to have business with you, Young Master Yu Long."


    "Likewise." Yu Long nodded calmly.


    They have a brief conversation before Yu Long excuses himself.


    On the highest floor, Zi Jiughed joyfully and saw the fifteen jade bottles like they were his greatest treasures. He looked down and saw Yu Long walking on the street calmly.


    Yu Long waved his hand at him and disappeared into the crowd.


    Zi Ji was speechless, "So, he did notice my presence, even with all these arrays around me."


    "As expected of the Lost Heaven Master''s Disciple."


    "He''s a monstrous talent..."


    "It''s a shame we couldn''t form more rtionships with him because the Supreme Ocean Pce doesn''t have a good female disciple..."


    "We missed a lot."


    After thinking about something for a while, Zi Ji lifted a jade slip and whispered something. "It''s up to you now, Phoenix Emperor."


    ...


    Since Yu Long still had free time, he went to the Shadow Realm''s eleventh base, which used the ''Dark Moon Sect'' as its identity.


    He didn''t sense anyone following him, which means Zi Ji was probably wary or afraid to offend him.


    Yu Long smiled, "Having a strong identity is a good thing, after all."


    "Aih, those cultivation world''s protagonists always get tailed every time they meet high-profile people."


    "And their secrets get out..."


    "Well, I don''t have to say what happens next." He whistled and stopped at an ordinary-looking courtyard. This ce looks ordinary, but people from the Divine Phoenix Empiree here with rmendations and get recruited to the Dark Moon Sect.


    Well, it was a bad practice. The Dark Moon Sect should have stuck on the orphan or just people with ill fate.


    He entered the area and sensed several presences hiding underground.


    Yu Long chuckled and released the presence of [Art of Ghost, causing the people below to tremble slightly.


    "Young Master?" Someone came out.


    It was Lily.


    "How is the situation?" Yu Long asked while carefreely walking to her.


    Lily put on a wry smile and answered, "It''s worse than we thought."


    "The leader of trash used his position to recruit his family members and his close friend. Thankfully, they haven''t revealed themselves to the world."


    Yu Long noticed some blood on Lily''s cheeks and wiped them off with his sleeve. "Lady shouldn''t get blood on their bodies." Hemented gently.


    Lily giggled, "Only you would say something like that, Young Master."


    "Did you hate it, though?"


    "No, I like it."


    They entered the underground facility and saw Hong Guan sitting with thick documents on the table.


    "Ack." Lily looked away.


    Yu Long shook his head gently because it was clear that Lily hade up to run away from this duty. The money-loving maid left the tedious job to her fellow Shadow Bride.


    "Where is Yueli?" Yu Long asked.


    Hong Guan raised her gaze and met Yu Long''s face, "Young Master, when did youe here?"


    "Just now."


    "I see... As for Yueli, you can find her in the training field, probably testing her new attainment." The red-haireddy added with a slightly envious tone. "She broke through to level 18 just now."


    "Oh?" Yu Long was pleasantly surprised.


    Yu Long''s maids and fiancee reached ''Innate Realm'' of Profound Arts after training with him for three years in the Dragon God Trial Grounds.


    All of them are at level 16 or 17, but Chu Yueli leveled up again just a day after they left the cave.


    Yu Long knows how hard it was to level up one''s mastery over the profound arts. It was a tedious umtion of understanding over oneself, the world, and its essence.


    To reach level 18 means Chu Yueli has understood something beyond anyone in her era. She, who was ''unfortunately'' overshadowed by her older sister for years, finally showed her worth.


    "Good, good." Yu Long couldn''t help but feel proud of Chu Yueli''s achievement. "I expected a good scene when visiting the Frozen Cloud Asgard."


    In the training ground, Chu Yueli meditated and opened her eyes. A frost light escaped her icy eyes.


    After stabilizing the Shadow Realm''s eleventh base and its open cover, Yu Long handed the responsibility to Hua Minghai and Ru Xiaoya. Yu Long gives him three months to recruit more members, and the thief responds confidently.


    In the vast blue sky, Yu Long and his maids rode a silver arc-shaped Profound Ark and traveled quickly. This thing was ''actually'' given by the disdainful youngdy with a simple bet.


    "Woah, where did you get this thing, Young Master?" Lily knocked on the Profound Ark with a greedy look.


    Yu Longughed, "Will you trust me if I said I won this with one punch?"


    "Hmph, don''t say it if you don''t want to." Lily pouted.


    "So stingy..."


    ''You shouldn''t be the one saying that!'' Hong Guan and Chu Yueli were ''literally'' taken aback by this greedy maid. Among the maids, Lily is the wealthiest.


    "Well, let''s go back to the Drifting River City." Yu Long controlled the Profound Ark and flew into the distance.


    Wait, it seems Yu Long forgot about someone.


    ...


    Divine Phoenix Empire, Unknown Area.


    A girl with snow-like hair and a healthyplexion hummed happily. She has innocent-looking bright eyes, a small nose, and rosy lips. There is also a golden-red me mark on her face, which is the sign of Phoenix God''s True Inheritor.


    In short, the girl looks like a little fairy.


    The girl sat in a humble but nice-looking house near a beautifulke.


    She gazed at the distance and said, "Ah, The presence of Phoenix God is gone."


    "I thought the other spirit of Phoenix God would meet me."


    "Xue''er is disappointed." She let out a cute sigh.


    The girl balled her soft hand and continued, "B-But, we will definitely meet in the future!"

    Chapter 83: The Glimpse into Nothingness

    --- Chapter 82 ---


    Five hourster.


    After riding around with the Profound Ark, Yu Long finally arrived at the Drifting River City. Although traveling with Profound Ark is slower than flying by themselves, it is morefortable.


    This Profound Ark is ''actually'' designed to befortable to ride, which Lily moaned for being her life goal to have one.


    Remember, Lily was the one who opposed the idea of having Profound Ark a while ago. Sheined about it being a waste of money but immediately backpedaled when experiencing one herself.


    As theynded in the courtyard, Lily leaned toward Yu Long.


    "Young Master, please sell this Profound Ark to me." Lily patted her chest, trying to her womanly charm."Please, please..."


    "For how much are you willing to buy this?" Yu Long yed along with an amused expression.


    "Three-! No, 200 Contribution Points." Lily reluctantly raised two of her fingers.


    Yu Long''s mouth twitched, "That''s no different than robbing me."


    In the Shadow Realm, the currency used is Contribution Points, which the shadow agents could use to exchange for benefits and resources like training rooms and medicines.


    A low-leveled escort mission in the Shadow Realm is worth around 200 Contribution Points, and that amount of points can only buy ten normal-grade Heart Opening Liquids.


    Yes, not even an enhanced version, just the normal Heart Opening Liquids.


    And now this greedy maid wants to buy a Profound Ark worth thousands, if not ten thousand, more than that.


    Of course, this is a rough estimation because one couldn''t equalize Heart Opening Liquids to the currency used in the Profound Sky Continent. It''s Shadow Realm''s strategic resources, so they couldn''t possibly let others use it.


    On top of that, don''t forget that Yu Long is the sole leader of Shadow Realm, so Lily is literally paying Yu Long with his own money.


    Noticing Yu Long''s expression, Lily put on a pained look and raised her finger slightly, "Two fifty!"


    "No." Yu Long ignored her and jumped out of the Profound Ark.


    "Two sixty!" Lily desperately shouted.


    "Nope, back to work. I shouldn''t have known better..."


    "Two Sixty-five."


    "Two Sixty-seven."


    "T-Two sixty eight."


    "TWO SIXTY-NINE!" Lily made her final attempt.


    Yu Long stopped and turned around, "Go back to your station."


    "Uuugh." Lily dropped to her knees and stared at the Profound Ark with a longing expression. She failed to notice the faint smile on Yu Long''s face when she mentioned sixty nines.


    Hong Guan and Chu Yueli jumped out of the Profound Ark, staring at the sad Lily on the ground. They shook their heads at her antics.


    "Just make one yourself." Hong Guan said with a yful look. "You have the money, no?"


    "Yeah, Lily. You owe us that ''expensive restaurant experience'' you bragged about in solitary training." Chu Yueli added while crossing her arms.


    Cold sweats dripped from Lily''s face as she coughed, "Young Master ordered me to go to my station."


    "Bye~!!"


    "And she ran away..." Chu Yueli sighed helplessly. "She really hates using money for personal use, huh?"


    Hong Guan giggled andmented, "Don''t despise her that much. Lily does be like that sometimes, but you''ll understand Lily if you talk with her more often."


    "Before being employed by Madam Yu Xin, Lily was just a vige girl and must feed herself with wild vegetables in the forest. Once she knew the value of money and its power, Lily developed this obsession."


    "I was also a normal vige girl before meeting the Young Master. So, I can understand her."


    "You get me wrong. I didn''t despise Lily." Chu Yueli shook her head helplessly.


    "We literally lived together under the same roof for three years."


    Hong Guan grinned, "Well, we are good then."


    ''I''m obsessed with something too.'' Chu Yueli gazed into the distance and blushed slightly.


    ...


    Yu Long checked for his parents, finding they were going out with Yu Mei to a festival nearby. He shrugged and went to the underground sealed chamber.


    He also contacted Zilong and Yuyan to make haste back.


    Sitting on the rocking chair in his research room, Yu Long sensed a spatial disturbance in the underground facility and felt two silhouettes moving quickly to his location.


    "Master, we are back~!" Yuyanes in with her usual foxy smile.


    "Old Yu, Ie with some gifts." Zilong walked inside with some wrapped boxes. "Oh, so this is your research room."


    "I could sense several Anti-Spying, Anti-Intruders, and Environmental Adaptation Arrays around it."


    "Well, yeah. These arrays are outdated, though." Yu Long responded while leaning on his chair.


    "I haven''t upgraded it for three years straight."


    "Do you want me to upgrade it?" Zilong proposed with a smirk. He learned two or three nifty things from Yu Long in the Dragon God Trial Grounds.


    Yu Long rubbed his chin and said, "I give you five minutes."


    "Bet. Three minutes are more than enough." Zilong snapped his finger, and brilliant azure light enveloped the research chamber.


    Millions of floating characters floated out of nowhere and created a swirl around them. Each character is unique and independent but somehow fits together.


    Zilong waved his hand a few times, causing the characters to bounce out from the group and disappear into thin air. Some new characters appear and fit into the sequence, causing a brighter light.


    It might be confusing for ''normal'' people, but not for Yu Long and his Kaiju.


    After all, the base of this array''snguage is cryptic codes between Yu Long and his Kaiju through [Kaiju Maker]. He named it the [Kaiju Language].


    "Done," Zilong said, pushing the array formation away.


    The research chamber trembled slightly as the temperature adjusted to the mostfortable state. Zilong grabbed a seat and ced down his gift, a moon cake.


    "So, why are you calling us here?" He cut the cake and ced it on a te.


    Yu Long took the cake and answered, "Well, serious matter."


    "Serious matter?" Zilong and Yuyan tilted their heads in confusion.


    Never in their new lives had they ever heard Yu Long mention something like a serious matter. He always yed a joke around.


    However, when they saw Yu Long''s serious expression as he munched a slice of moon cake, they couldn''t help but question themselves.


    Yu Long wiped his hand clean and brought out the 8th box he bought from Zi Ji. Opening the lid, Zilong and Yuyan peeked at the content and gasped.


    "T-This is..." The Emerald Phoenix frowned.


    "Essence sphere?" The Void-Devouring Tyrant Dragon added.


    Yu Long picked the essence sphere and responded, "This is no ordinary essence sphere."


    "This essence sphere was from my previous life."


    "The what?!" Zilong stood up in shock. When the Dragon God learned that Yu Long was ''actually'' reincarnated from a whole other universe, he was shocked and couldn''t ept this news.


    It was a bizarre thing to ever happen in the Dragon God''s life because he thought there was only one universe. And that''s Primal Chaos.


    And now Yu Long brought up the shocking news that an otherworldly element entered the Primal Chaos. If the essence sphere could be here, there might be a ''massive'' chance those terrifying Kaiju survived the cosmic explosion and entered Primal Chaos alongside Yu Long.


    Yu Long read their minds and sighed, "Calm down."


    "I know what you were thinking."


    "However, we didn''t know if my past life''s Kaiju really entered the Primal Chaos. The chance is not as high as you guys think."


    "Is it possible to locate them?" Zilong asked with a solemn expression.


    Yu Long lifted his arm in defeat, "I haven''t unlocked all my powers back, which means I couldn''t do a wide-range search."


    "However, there is a way to achieve the same result."


    "Divine Sense." Yuyan finally opened her mouth. "With Divine Sense, you could easily increase the range of Kaiju Maker''s scans."


    "That''s why you need us, to supply you with our abilities."


    "How far do you think we can support you?" Zilong stared at Yu Long.


    Yu Long pondered and answered, "If we are doing things right, the Blue Pole Star is possible."


    Zilong and Yuyan sighed, this is better than nothing.


    Even though they expected Yu Long to be able to scan the whole Primal Chaos, they knew he had yet to mature. Their [Kaiju Maker] is indeed the greatest monster in the Primal Chaos, but he needs time to grow.


    "Let''s do it."


    "Yeah, let''s do it."


    "Okay, give me your hands." Yu Long cracked his neck because this would be a tedious job to do.


    Zilong and Yuyan held his hands, allowing their essence spheres to rotate and support Yu Long directly.


    <strong>[Kaiju Synchronization!]</strong>


    Zilong and Yuyan turned into two streams of energy lights and entered Yu Long''s body. Azure and Emerald light shed one after another, causing a transformation in Yu Long''s body.


    Azure scales grow on Yu Long''s upper body, covering him like armor.


    Three pairs of emerald-like wings appeared out of thin air and wrapped him like a cape.


    A crown-shaped curved horn grows on top of Yu Long''s head.


    As Yu Long opened his eyes, one could see his formerly golden eyes had gained an azure color on the left and an emerald color on the right. One eye gained a slit like a dragon, and the other possessed a circle like a bird''s eye.


    <strong>[Core Skill - Kaiju Maker''s Authority (Unlocked)]</strong>


    Yu Long blinked a few times before looking up, causing several specks of dust to sweep over the whole. He grasped the thin air and opened a curtain of darkness.


    In the curtain of darkness, blinking lights appeared one after another.


    Every light has its own brilliance.


    BOOM!


    Yu Long''s chair turned into dust as he forcibly grabbed the lights from the curtain of darkness. Essence spheres started pouring out like no tomorrow, filling up the floor.


    Thud!


    Thud!


    Yu Long''s vision abruptly disappeared. He appeared somewhere else and saw countless stars in vast space.


    ROARS!


    The stars are beating with loud thumbs as if they are alive.


    No, they are alive!


    Those stars are.


    Yu Long''s eyebrows became heavier as the surroundings changed and became pitch ck. He drifted into this darkness, having no sense of duty or life.


    Calm.


    Cold.


    Serene.


    Nothing.


    There is nothing except for myself.


    Wait, what''s even myself?


    Crack!


    "You''re close..." A melodious voice echoed in this realm of nothingness.


    "But not close enough..."


    "Come back when you are ready."


    ...


    COUGH!


    Yu Long coughed a mouthful of blood and looked very pale.


    [Kaiju Synchronization] is deactivated by itself, and every enhancement and benefit thates with it is ''instantly'' canceled.


    "Master/Yu Long!" Yuyan and Zilong worriedlye to his side.


    Yuyan checked Yu Long''s condition and sighed in relief, "Some of his internal organs got ruptured..."


    "He''s in a much better condition than we thought." Zilong also looks relieved.


    "But what happened?"


    "Everything is going fine, and our connection is ''forcibly'' destroyed by an external force."


    "I also don''t know..." Yuyan ced Yu Long on the nearby table.


    "We need to wait for him to wake up and exin."


    She wiped blood from Yu Long''s mouth and chest, using her Phoenix me to soothe his body.


    "Yeah..."


    Zilong decided to stay quiet and nced down, finding several hundred essence spheres on the floor. His eyes widened as some of them were above A-grade.


    ''This might be more severe than we thought...'' The Void-Devouring Tyrant Dragon clenched his hand tightly. ''The Realm of Gods, I hope nothing bad happened there.''


    ''Shen Xi, my daughter. Please be safe and wait for your father.''

    --- Chapter 83 ---


    "Uugh..."


    "Yuyan, make a tea or something warm for me."


    Yu Long''s pained groan echoed in the research chamber.


    The young man climbed down from the table. He grabbed a chair to sit and circte his profound strength.


    The aftereffect of [Kaiju Synchronization]''s forced deactivation felt like Yu Long''s whole being torn apart by raging waves. It was an unpleasant experience but a worthwhile price for some reason.


    Yuyan brought a cup of warm milk and handed it to Yu Long, "Here, Master.""Please drink it slowly..."


    Yu Long picked up the cup and drank the milk, feeling his body coursed with warmness.


    After finishing the milk, he noticed the ''Primordial Energy'' within his inner world depleted to zero.


    There is not even a drop of it anymore.


    ''Fuck!'' He cursed in his mind.


    Yu Long wondered what went wrong and figured that the ''Nothingness'' realm he touched upon must be causing this. There is no other exnation for it.


    He sighed and rubbed his temple helplessly, "It seems I have to increase [Kaiju Synchronization]''s grade from now on."


    "I also have to unlock [Kaiju Maker''s Authority] naturally. If not, I would end up like this again."


    Zilong sat on the seat opposite Yu Long and asked, "What happened, Old Yu? Our [Kaiju Synchronization] connection got disrupted, and we also lost our linked vision as if you had gone blind."


    "Yeah, Master." Yuyan worriedly looked at him.


    Yu Long put on a wry smile and exined the experience he went through a moment ago.


    A vast space with countless stars, and those stars are most likely to be his past life''s Kaiju.


    And the Realm of Nothingness.


    When Zilong and Yuyan heard Yu Long''s exnation, they couldn''t help but be quiet all of a sudden. They nced at each other weirdly.


    Yu Long stared at the ceiling and added, "Oh, yeah... I also heard a woman''s voice in the Realm of Nothingness."


    "This is..." Yuyan mumbled to herself.


    "Master, even in the Primordial Era of Gods, the realm you described might be the Abyss of Nothingness. It''s a forbidden ce where even ancient danger resides."


    "However, we also forgot about this information, as if our memory is iplete."


    "Even I, the True Dragon God, couldn''t remember the information about Abyss of Nothingness very well." Zilong continued with a weak smile.


    "Thick fogs are covering my Origin Soul, warning me not to even peek into the unknown territory."


    "In the end, all this led to one particr existence."


    "The one and only ancestors of Eight Primordial Gods."


    "Ancestral God." Yu Long finished the Void-Devouring Tyrant Dragon''s sentences.


    "Yes, Ancestral God. The most mysterious existence." Zilong nodded calmly. "Unfortunately, we didn''t know anything about her besides some ancient texts left behind in the Realm of Gods above."


    "Those ancient texts might be a clue for you..."


    "I''m not sure those ancient texts could solve our Kaiju Problem here." Yu Longughed in misery. He knew some Kaiju in his previous life were beyond mon'' understanding.


    Some are ''extremely'' dangerous and can''t be left alone without supervision.


    If Kaiju roamed free, Yu Long was somewhat scared chaos would happen sooner orter. If possible, Yu Long wanted to capture them before that event could ever happen.


    Fortunately, the ''original'' plot should ensue soon, and the red-haired messenger from the Realm of Gods could answer Yu Long''s confusion.


    "Let''s not overthink it for now." Yu Long said calmly.


    "We must fortify the Blue Pole Star first. This ce is the safest one because we could develop our strength steadily."


    "That''s true." Yuyan nodded in agreement. "I will start gathering more Master''s Stones."


    "Then, I will search for Ni Xuan''s traces," Zilong responded while crossing his arms. "That man must have left something for future generations. He''s well known for being too forgiving."


    "Evil God is such a person?" Yu Long was confused.


    Zilong chuckled, "Before a God, Evil God is still a person, you know?"


    "Is that so?"


    Yu Long remembered something and asked, "Hmm, where are the essence spheres I have pulled out from around the Blue Pole Star?"


    "Here, we ced it in a sealed container because it releases an intense hue that makes us hungry." Zilong ced down box-sized spatial storage.


    Yu Long smiled because it was understandable that Yuyan and Zilong''s hunger was ''inherently'' aroused by these essence spheres.


    After all, these essence spheres were ''literally'' made by Hayate Kurogami, his past life, someone who mastered [Kaiju Maker] in just three years.


    The amount of energy in one essence sphere alone is better than Yu Long''s version by arge margin.


    Yu Long grabbed a random essence sphere from the spatial storage andmented, "I see..."


    After observing the essence spheres in the spatial storage, Yu Long discovered that 4/5 of them are the raw essence of various Mutated Creatures in his previous life''s world.


    Some abilities are mediocre, but some are powerful enough to be graded as S-grade abilities.


    As for 1/5 of the essence sphere, they are indeed Kaiju but lifeless.


    Each Kaiju''s essence sphere was ''actually'' damaged in some way. It was unfortunate, but Yu Long could do nothing except fix them slowly.


    They are precious, which makes Yu Long conflicted. He was sad and happy at the same time to find a trace of his past life.


    "Ack, this essence sphere." Yu Long grabbed a milky pink-colored raw essence sphere.


    "Oh, wow."


    "To think my previous life saved this ability."


    "What ability was that, Master?" Yuyan approached him with a curious expression.


    Zilong also came closer and stared at the milky pink-colored raw essence in Yu Long''s hand. From his point of view, the essence sphere is merely an F-Grade.


    However, the value might be more than that, considering Yu Long''s big reaction.


    "Hehe, watch this." Yu Long smirked and swallowed the milky pink-colored raw essence in one gulp.


    <strong>Force Bubble (F) Acquired.</strong>


    <strong>Shadow Paw (F) Acquired.</strong>


    Yu Long gazed at Yuyan and said, "Yuyan, do you feel something weird."


    "Hmm, nothing in particr?" Yuyan was confused.


    "Are you sure?"


    "I''m sure-! Kyaa~!" Yuyan shivered because someone rubbed her neck, but there was no physical interaction between her and others. Even the air and spatial fabric felt normal.


    An invisible bubble hovered in the air and entered Yuyan''s chest, drawing out her strength.


    "What''s this ability?" Zilong, who watched from the sidelines, could feel a concentrated Phoenix meing out of Yuyan''s body in the shape of a bubble.


    He could feel but not see it, as if the bubble existed in another dimension.


    Yu Long snapped his finger, and a small burst of fire behind Yuyan''s back, identally smacking her rear.


    Yuyan blushed, and Yu Long awkwardly whistled because his control over these new abilities was low.


    "M-Master, you''re such a tease," Yuyan said flusteredly.


    "If you want to smack my ass, I''m willing to do it with just the two of us around...."


    Zilong gave Yu Long a thumbs-up andughed, "Haha, I don''t know you''re so bold, Old Yu."


    "Oh, shut up. You know I didn''t mean to do that." Yu Long grumbled at the Void-Devouring Tyrant Dragon.


    "So, what''s with the new abilities?"


    Yu Long lifted his hand, and invisible air appeared, "I gained two abilities, namely Force Bubble and Shadow Paw."


    "Ites from an annoyed mutant beast called Thieving Cat."


    "As the beast''s name implies, Thieving Cat could touch someone without the target noticing by creating a paw-shaped constructed shadow."


    "But the most dangerous ability is none other than Force Bubble."


    "Thieving Cat''s Force Bubble could plunder one''s essence. This beast could plunder something tangible or abstract by making Force Bubble contact its target."


    "As you sensed before, I stole a wisp of Yuyan''s Phoenix me without her noticing."


    "What a terrifying ability." Zilong sucked a cold breath. "With Force Bubble, you could literally plunder someone''s heart and kill that person instantly."


    "No, since you said that even abstract things are possible, you can theoretically steal another''s life force, power, and bloodline."


    "Yes, but ites with a limitation. If not, Thieving Cat will be monarch-ss Mutant Beast in my previous life." Yu Long shook his head funnily.


    "The plunder''s target must not exceed the bubble''s size."


    "At the moment, my Force Bubble is barely the size of a child''s pinky."


    Yuyan smacked her lips, "Master, I don''t mind being your test subject."


    "Please use your Force Bubble on me~!"


    "No." Yu Long''s mouth twitched. "I''ll go to the surface."


    "I need to recover my Primordial Energy first."


    Watching Yu Long depart with spatial storage, Yuyan''s lips curved because she genuinely wanted to be his taste subject.


    Zilong sat down andmented, "You know that Old Yu didn''t like your approach, right?"


    "Hehe, you''re wrong. Master likes it." Yuyan giggled while rubbing her cheeks. "He simply isn''t honest."


    "Well, there is time for that in the future."


    "For now, teasing him is enough to make me satisfied."


    "Women, how unreasonable..." Zilong mumbled quietly.


    Yuyan narrowed her eyes indifferently, "Did you say something?"


    "Nothing." Zilong looked away.


    "Hmph. I thought so." Yuyan snorted.

    --- Chapter 84 ---


    Two dayster.


    Yu Long meditated in the courtyard and felt a cold hand wiping sweat off his face. He opened his eyes slowly and saw Chu Yueli with a towel in her hand.


    The fairy of frozen ss has this sweet look on her face. Her reddened cheeks create this afterglow that makes the ice beauty more adorable.


    Yu Long smiled, "Thanks."


    "But you shouldn''t touch me when I was cultivating."


    "You might get affected by the Yin-Yang shock." He added with a sigh.Chu Yueli shook her head and replied, "It''s okay, Young Master. After reaching level 18, your Yin-Yang shock didn''t affect me much."


    Yin-Yang shock is the state Yu Long entered when cultivating [Art of Ghost] and [Art of Violet Mist], which was a deep focused mode of enriching Yin(Darkness) and Yang(Light) elements into his body.


    When the opposite gender touched Yu Long, they would be affected by the shock of his aura and be flustered. They entered this ''heat'' mode and would take time to subdue it.


    Yu Long could see Chu Yueli wasn''t lying, but her reddened cheeks and warmed body barely held up from his intense Yang element. No wonder the cultivation world''s protagonist always uses this excuse to bnce women''s Yin with their Yang.


    Fortunately, Yu Long is a gentleman.


    "Let''s have breakfast." Yu Long grabbed Chu Yueli''s hand gently and soothed her down.


    "After that, we will go to the Lost Heaven Sect."


    "Understood." Chu Yueli closed her eyes and enjoyed Yu Long''s warmth, feeling veryfortable. The former Chu Yueli won''t let any man touch her skin, but now.


    She felt more than alive.


    After a heartwarming breakfast, Yu Long departed to the Lost Heaven Sect. Oh yeah, his parents and sister also followed because it''s been a while since they visited the sect.


    Unfortunately, the arc-shaped Profound Ark couldn''t amodate more than four people, so Zilong voluntarily took them to the Chain Clouds Mountain Range.


    "Hahaha~!" A loud and excitedughter echoes in the mountain range.


    "MY GRANDSON FINALLY COME BACK!"


    The corner of Yu Long''s mouth twitched because he always recognized this exaggerated ''grandiose'' voice. In two years, Yu Long became attached to his grandparents bizarrely.


    Not seeing them for three years actually makes Yu Long miss their presence.


    They did say blood is thicker than water.


    On top of a massive pine tree, a muscr elderly in a short and thin robe is waving his hand at them. The vigor he exuded was no weaker than any hot-blooded youth.


    Yes, this muscr elder is Yu Long''s grandfather, Xu Sanshan.


    ''Devil''s bloodline.'' Zilong, who was in his dragon form, couldn''t help but gaze at Xu San in surprise. He learned that Yu Long was the descendant of the Eternal Night Royal Family, which got the bloodline of the Eternal Night Devil n.


    However, Zilong didn''t expect Yu Long''s grandfather to possess such a pure Devil Race''s bloodline. It''s so pure that the blood was probably only inferior to the original by a small margin.


    ''Although the quantity iscking, he could easily reach Divine Spirit Realm with enough resources.''


    ''No, since he is Old Yu''s grandfather, he might reach the Divine King Realm!''


    Yu Long didn''t know what Zilong was thinking and patted the dragon on the back, "Old Zi, stop flying in a circle."


    "Get down already."


    "Ah, yes." Zilong woke up from his stupor.


    "Wee, wee, everyone." Xu Sanshan immediately greeted them with a grin and open arms. "Yu Long,e! Hug your grandpa!"


    Yu Long smiled and hugged the bear-like grandfather, making him cry like a waterfall.


    "Okay, stop crying. Yu Mei is looking at you funny." Yu Long patted the back of his grandfather.


    Xu Sanshan wiped the snot-filled nose and stared at the bundle of adorableness in Yu Xin''s arms.


    "Meimei~!" He jumped away from Yu Long.


    "And he left me without saying anything." Yu Long was speechless.


    "Kuku, leave him alone. We couldn''t visit Yu Mei because she was too young, but since you are here. There shouldn''t be any problem." Xu Nannan walked from the woods with a small smile.


    "Grandma." Yu Long came and hugged her.


    Xu Nannan felt the strength of Yu Long''s hug andmented, "You have be a fine man, Yu Long."


    "So, when will you give us great-grandchildren?"


    "I see that you have some nice-lookingdies right there." She added while gazing at Hong Guan, Lily, Chu Yueli, and Yuyan.


    Cough!


    Facing such a question, Yu Long choked on air awkwardly.


    "Later,ter."


    "I would like to focus on my cultivation for now."


    Xu Nannan chuckled amusingly, "That''s true, I suppose."


    "You''re only sixteen this year. At your age, your grandpa and I only started bing closer."


    "I see..." Yu Long sighed in relief.


    "Yeah, we got married six weekster." Xu Nannan dropped the bomb, which made Yu Long raise his hands in defeat.


    Damn, Grandma is wilding in her young days.


    Xu Nannan grabbed Yu Long''s hand and dragged him inside, "Well, let''s go inside. I have prepared a hotpot for everyone."


    They entered the pine forest, and Ripple sent them to a courtyard in the Lost Heaven Sect. The vastnd is ''thoroughly'' surrounded by green grass, and in the middle is a pavilion.


    The blue sky makes the scenery even better.


    "This ce is..." Zilong blinked his eyes in surprise.


    Xu Sanshan patted his chest proudly and answered, "A confined space that I got from the nice-lookingnd in the east."


    "It was left behind, so I connected it to the Lost Heaven Sect''s great array formation and made it a gathering ce. Well, there aren''t many people visiting this ce."


    "Amazing." Zilong praised.


    Xu Sanshan shook his head lightly, "This much is nothing."


    "It''s all thanks to Yu Long, who left behind some instructions to manage the sect."


    "Anyway, let''s eat. My wife''s cooking is the best, hahaha~!" Patting the Dragon God on the shoulder as if they were best friends, Xu Sanshan walked to the pavilion humorously.


    "Your grandfather is something else." Zilong nced at Yu Long.


    "Right?" Yu Long shrugged casually. "Don''t worry, he''s always like that, even to strangers."


    "No, I like him this way." Zilong smiled slightly.


    "He''d be a great friend to drink with."


    Everyone sat around a long table as Xu Nannan warmed up the hot pot, starting their gathering party. On the outside, snows are falling and indicating the end of the year.


    Yu Long looked at the small bowl in his hand and thought, ''What a good day.''


    ''Qingyue and Xueruo should arrive soon.''


    As if the world read Yu Long''s mind, five people arrived outside the pavilion.


    Yu Long narrowed his eyes and stared into the distance, seeing Xia Qingyue and Cang Yue waving their hands at him.


    "Big Brother~!"


    "Yu Long~!"


    Xia Qingyue came with her father and younger brother.


    Meanwhile, Cang Yuees with her mother.


    "Come inside!" Yu Long shouted joyfully.


    "We are having a hotpot!"


    And that''s how they celebrated the end of the year.


    ...


    The next day, Yu Long walked out of a hut with his new winter clothes, a thick purple robe, and ck baggy pants. There is also a furred coat hanging around his neck.


    Standing beside Yu Long is Xia Qingyue in her favorite blue dress, but of course, slighter and thicker due to the season. She also wore a coat, but it was a white-colored one made of cold-resistance fabric.


    They actually didn''t have to wear something like these because their cultivations and well-trained bodies could easily fend off the winter season.


    They wore them because they looked good.


    "Big Brother, I heard you found something interesting when I was on the Floating Cloud City." Xia Qingyue blew warm air from her mouth, creating a fog.


    Yu Long stared at her and replied, "It''s just a Profound Ark."


    "Profound Ark." Xia Qingyue curved her lips. "I want to ride it."


    "Sure, I''ll bring you around the Lost Heaven Sect." Yu Long didn''t think much about it and summoned the arc-shaped Profound Ark.


    As they drove away, Xia Qingyue hugged Yu Long''s arm and leaned her head on his chest. She gazed at the distance and had this charming and satisfied smile on her face.


    "Ah, I almost forgot." Xia Qingyue suddenly snapped.


    "Hmm?" Yu Long looked down on her.


    Xia Qingyue opened her mouth and asked, "Do you still remember Xiao Che? The kid that Yuanba used to y with?"


    He didn''t expect such a mention but still responds, "Yes. What''s the matter?"


    Xia Qingyue sighed, "As you know, he used to be my fiance, thanks to my father''s promise to his father."


    "However, we have annulled our engagement with some favors."


    "Xiao Che''s grandfather talked with me two days ago."


    "He wanted to use the favors."


    "Oh, for what?" Yu Long asked curiously.


    Xia Qingyue put on aplicated look and continued, "He wants us to help, and if possible fix Xiao Che''s crippled profound veins."

    --- Chapter 85 ---


    Unknown ce.


    On the corner of a cliff, a bleeding man pointed his weapon at a group of people. Each possessed ''strong'' cultivation, which exceeded him by several levels.


    Weirdly, the people with advantages have one simr expression on their faces. And that''s fear!


    "I hate you guys..." The bleeding man coughed a mouthful of blood.


    "I hate you guys!"


    "I, Yun Che, would drag you rotten bastards to hell, and you can do nothing about it!""AAAAAAARRGHHH!"


    "DIE, ALL OF YOU!"


    "Noooooo!" A collective blood-curled scream echoed in the cliff as intense green light submerged the area.


    The green light devoured them into a puddle of ck liquid and left the bleeding man in a dying state.


    Anger.


    Sadness.


    Sorrow.


    "Teacher."


    "Ling''er."


    "I''m sorry. I am too weak."


    All kinds of emotions struck the bleeding man as he fell into the cliff.


    A soft white light covered the whole momentarily, causing many changes.


    ...


    Floating Cloud City.


    A secluded city on the corner of the Blue Wind Empire, unknown to many, but people still live in it.


    Three years ago, one of the ns in the Floating Cloud City struck a fortune and allowed their disciples to the infamous Lost Heaven Sect, gaining attention from all nations.


    However, when they discovered the truth behind this privilege, the people of seven nations couldn''t help but curse the n for being too lucky.


    Three outer disciples spot every year and two favors from the Lost Heaven Master''s direct disciple himself.


    And all that for annulling engagement between a cripple and beautiful youngdy fancied by Heaven-Favored Genius.


    People thought it was ridiculous, but there was ''actually'' an underlying purpose behind it.


    Xiao n Estate, Mountainside Courtyard.


    "Xiao Che, Xiao Che, wake up." A humble-looking youngdy in a green robe knocked on a wooden door.


    Receiving no response, the youngdy tilted her head and pushed the door. She saw a ck-haired youth sleeping soundlessly on the bed with a content expression.


    The youngdy smiled helplessly and pinched the youth''s nose, "Wake up!"


    "Aah, Shit!" The youth jumped from his bed.


    He hit the table nearby and groaned in pain.


    The youngdy sighed and checked his condition, finding nothing wrong except aical swell on his left forehead.


    Puchi!


    She giggled heartfully, "Hehe, I told you to wake up earlier today."


    "I know..." The youth grumbled. "Sorry for beingte, Little Aunt."


    "It''s just that I felt sleepy all of a sudden."


    "I couldn''t bring myself off the bed."


    "Hmph, excuse!" The youngdy scoffed.


    "It''s the truth..." Xiao Che sighed in defeat.


    He stared at his Little Aunt, whose name was Xiao Lingxi. She was around the same age as him, but since she was basically the younger sister of his father, he called her Little Aunt from childhood.


    It was an endearing nickname, which made them even closer.


    They went to another part of the courtyard and discovered an elder in afortable blue robe. He sat near the dining table, waiting for them for breakfast.


    Xiao Che''s grandfather is an elder who looks like someone in histe seventies or even more due to constant sadness overwhelming his state of mind. He was so sad, which made him look older.


    He still perseveres with such sorrows and raises Xiao Che and Xiao Lingxi alone for years.


    His name is Xiao Lie, the Fifth Elder of the Xiao n. He''s also the legal possessor of Lost Heaven Sect''s two favors, which allows him to bring wealth and prosperity to his n, but he decides not to.


    That''s why people didn''t dare to touch Xiao n of the Profound Cloud Sect because he could easily use his favor to eliminate the threat.


    The Xiao Sect''s elders had to treat Xiao Lie respectfully even after knowing the taboo facts about Xiao Che.


    "Xiao Che, Lingxi." Xiao Lie smiled warmly at them.


    "Sit down, sit down. I have great news for you two."


    "What was it, Grandpa?" Xiao Che sits down curiously.


    Xiao Lingxi sat down and had the same curiosity stered on her face.


    Xiao Lie put on a solemn look and said, "I have used one of the favors."


    "Eh?" They were shocked.


    "Did you really use it, Grandpa?"


    "Yes, Father. What for? You know this favor is very precious."


    Xiao Lie chuckled and continued, "Let me finish... Aih, you two are so active this morning."


    "Xia Qingyue returned to the Floating Cloud City two or three days ago, and I was talking to her about this matter. She listened to my request and told me to wait a day or two."


    "As for the favor, I used to ask for help... If possible, I want the Lost Heaven Sect to fix Xiao Che''s profound veins."


    "You did what!" Xiao Che red in disbelief. "G-Grandpa, why did you waste such a precious chance?"


    "You know I''m fine not being able to cultivate... As long as we can live well."


    "No, I think Father''s decision is correct." Xiao Lingxi interrupted with a grin. "Xiao Che, don''t lie about your feelings. I know you were frustrated by the constant bullying of the n members."


    "They called you cripples and all sorts of things."


    "They didn''t touch you physically because Father would definitely wreak havoc in the n."


    "You were a genius. If not for the absurd disaster, you''d definitely be able to achieve a great thing."


    Xiao Che''s hands trembled as he let out a bitter sigh. Atst, he couldn''t hide his frustration from his only family.


    "Qingyue... I haven''t met her for years." Xiao Che swayed his head away.


    "Oh, you dare to change the topic?" Xiao Lingxi pouted and balled her little fist.


    Xiao Lie shook his head weakly, "Xia Qingyue has be a fine youngdy, but we know engagement is impossible..."


    "Although we chew more than we could bite, at least we save some faces for both sides..."


    "Your father''s sacrifice isn''t for nothing."


    "Mm." Xiao Che nodded in understanding. He didn''t hate Xia Qingyue for breaking the engagement.


    On the contrary, Xiao Che felt relieved.


    Xiao Che never got that close to the youngdy of Xia Manor in the first ce. In their childhood, The only time Xiao Che everes close to Xia Qingyue is when he ys together with Xia Yuanba, her younger brother.


    And Xiao Che only caught a glimpse of her silhouette at the time.


    He also knows about Yu Long and acknowledges him as a better fiance for Xia Qingyue than himself.


    Xiao Che had to admit that Yu Long has better talents, looks, and even a strong background.


    Since Xiao Che and Xia Qingyue didn''t have much connection, he felt it was okay to break the engagement.


    ''No one wants to marry a cripple anyway.'' Xiao Che self-deprecatingly said to himself.


    ''No, if my profound veins got fixed, then I''d use my power to pay Xia Qingyue''s kindness back in the future twofold!''


    "Well, let''s eat." Xiao Lie pped his hand after noticing his grandson''s absentminded state.


    "Hehe, eat!" Xiao Lingxi ced down meat on Xiao Che''s te.


    Xiao Che smiled and started eating.


    ...


    Above the Floating Cloud City, an arc-shaped Profound Arc slowlynded near a blueke. A handsome young man and three beautifuldies jumped off, revealing their appearances.


    "So, this is your hometown, Qingyue?" One youngdy in an azure-colored dressmented. "The atmosphere isn''t bad."


    "Yeah." Added a woman in a snow-white robe.


    Xia Qingyue giggled, "This ce is full of memories."


    "I''m not a very adventurous girl, but all changes when Big Brother visits Xia Manor." She stared at the distance and found a familiar-looking spot, arge bush and moss-filled crater.


    Yu Long brushed some dust from his clothes and said, "Let''s go to Xia Manor first."


    "After doing the favor, we will go to the Frozen Cloud Asgard."


    "Okay ~!" Three of them responded.


    Yu Long stared at the clear sky and felt something unexpected was about to happen. Good, he hoped the plot wouldn''t change much.

 Chapter 87: The Broken Samsara? F*ck the Plot!

    Chapter 87: The Broken Samsara? F*ck the Plot!

    --- Chapter 86 ---


    Yu Long entered Xia Manor, relishing the ironic fact he hadn''t visited this ce for six years. A bitter smile formed on his handsome face because he was going here only to take Xia Qingyue''s blood sample.


    "Ah, the past Qingyue is so cold." Yu Long couldn''t help butment.


    "She gave me the cold shoulder for a week or two if I remember correctly."


    Xia Qingyue blushed in embarrassment, "Please, don''t talk about that anymore."


    "I-It''s so embarrassing." She covered her face.


    Xia Qingyue dislikes her past self. The cold and restrained youngdy wished she could be more open in the past. At least her younger brother and father won''t be so distant.Thankfully, a ray of hope descended and helped her.


    Cang Yue blinked her eyes and hugged Yu Long''s arm, "I''m interested. Can you tell me more, Yu Long?"


    As Cang Yue''s voice tingled with curiosity, her soft bosom wrapped around Yu Long''s arm.


    Yu Long chuckled, "Sure."


    "Let me tell you one or two about Qingyue''s dark past."


    "Noooo~!" Xia Qingyue hurriedly hugged Yu Long''s arm and pouted at him. "No secret out, or I will bite!"


    Yu Long was ''actually'' tempted to tell the secret anyway because he wanted to see how Xia Qingyue bit him, but seeing her teary eyes softened his heart.


    ''I''m more human than I thought.'' Yu Long smiled inside.


    As [Kaiju Maker], Yu Long has epted he was different from others since the beginning. However, he sometimes forgot that even monsters have hearts.


    "Yueli, could you check any relevant information in thest month and report to me in two-! No, one hour?" Yu Long nced at his frosty maid.


    "Okay." Chu Yueli nodded and left immediately.


    "Let''s go." Yu Long pulled his fiancee into the manor.


    "Also, don''t worry. I won''t tell anyone about your dark past."


    "Promise?"


    "I promise."


    ...


    At the same time, the elders of the Xiao n gathered in the main hall and spoke about the recent topic of the Blue Wind Empire.


    "Phew, I heard Xia Hongyi''s son also entered the Lost Heaven Empire a few days ago." One elder suddenly said.


    "What, he did??" Another elder was surprised. "Aih, I bet that child could join the Inner Court or Core Court because of his connection with Xia Qingyue."


    Someone sighed and added, "Such privilege. None of our young n members ever reached Inner Court. Even after three years."


    "If only we had a better connection with the Lost Heaven Sect..."


    Hearing the mention of a ''deeper connection'' in these shameless people''s conversation, Xiao Lie raised his brows and kept drinking his tea.


    ''Greedy people. We are lucky enough that we could hang on the Lost Heaven Sect''s greatness.'' Xiao Lie thought to himself.


    Xiao Lie found it funny because his grandson and daughter got bullied before the Engagement announcement.


    Xiao Lie''s son helped Xia Hongyi''s daughter, Xia Qingyu, in the past. This event leads to the engagement between the girl and Xiao Che, though fate is something else in the future.


    Even though the ending not everyone wanted, it''s still a better oue since three years ago.


    ''Maybe it''s time to tell Xiao Che about the truth. He became an adult a few months ago.'' Xiao Lie''s thoughts wandered somewhere else.


    All of a sudden, a thunderp echoed throughout the Floating Cloud City.


    Xiao Lie ignored the chatty elders and nced at the window, "There will be a storm soon."


    "Okay, that''s it. I''ll go back to my ce." He stood up and left the main hall.


    The elders suddenly stopped talking, frowning at Xiao Lie''s figure.


    As the humbled-looking elder disappeared, the elders began to curse him.


    "Tsk, arrogant bastard."


    "It''s just because he holds the ''favors'' that we give him some face."


    "Yeah, Xiao Lie is a persistent fellow. He could have used one favor for Xiao n''s glory, but no. He keeps it for himself."


    "He''s selfish."


    "n Master, you should have persuaded Xiao Lie more. At this point, our n won''t be able to aim higher." Someone stared at the Xiao n''s leader.


    The Xiao n''s master is a man with mid-length ck hair and azy expression.


    After the Lost Heaven Sect gives them resources, the Xiao n has exceeded their past self and even made the main branch(Xiao Sect) grovel for the spot in the Lost Heaven Sect.


    As the n master, Xiao Yunhai grewzier because of this development and power-hungry. Of course, he concealed it.


    "Well, just let the Old Lie alone for now." Xiao Yunhai responded casually.


    But then, he boasted proudly, "My son just returned from the Lost Heaven Sect. He recently made significant progress and will surely enter the Inner Court in three months."


    "Damn..." The elders felt jealous.


    If only their child is as good as n Master''s son.


    ...


    Meanwhile, the Xiao n''s young master is strolling in his courtyard.


    He had a darkened expression as he mmed a mug against a mahogany table. "God damn it!"


    "It''s all Xiao Che''s fault!"


    A few days ago, Xia Yuanba arrived at the Lost Heaven Sect and joined the Core Court.


    Xiao Yulong didn''t think much of it, but Xia Yuanba closed his chance to enter the Inner Court by whispering something to the elder in the Outer Court.


    He was angry.


    "That bastard Xia Yuanba must have remembered how I bullied him and that Trash Che. Otherwise, he wouldn''t do this." Xiao Yulong clenched his hand.


    Xiao Yulong released the killing intent, "I might not be able to teach you a lesson, but me Trash Che for not being able to cultivate..."


    "Fortunately, I bought Murdering Heart Power."


    He grinned coldly andughed, "Hehe, Just you wait."


    "I must do this carefully... I can''t let others discover my n."


    Even after changing several future plots, Yu Long''s existence couldn''t erase the beginning of a story. The ''original'' plot started with a different twist as if it was ''actually'' decided on the stone from far ahead.


    ...


    Xiao Che and Xiao Lingxi walked on a grassy in. After seeing the storm approaching, they decided to get to the n.


    "Why did the storme as we were about to catch that fish? How unfortunate." The youthined while waving his fishing rod.


    Xiao Lingxi giggled andmented, "I mean... Let''s be honest. Your fishing skill is not very good."


    Xiao Che nced at the bucket full of fish in Xiao Lingxi''s hand and grumbled, "They just like your bait more..."


    "Anyway, let me take that. Little aunt shouldn''t bring heavy things." Xiao Che grabbed her bucket and ran away.


    "Hey! Return my bucket!" Xiao Lingxi smiled and chased after him.


    ...


    Back to Xia Manor.


    Yu Long listened to Chu Yueli''s report and frowned because the protagonist didn''t act like he wanted.


    He''s somehow be a good boy.


    "Wait, wait." Yu Long frowned slightly.


    He recalled all the things about Against the Gods in his memory. Even though he couldn''t remember every little nifty detail, the beginning of the story should remain firm in his memory folder.


    "Shit." A curse escaped his mouth. Yu Long put his hands together and said, "I forgot that Against the Gods wasn''t Isekai!"


    "Is there a problem, Young Master?" Chu Yueli tilted her head.


    "Follow me. I want to visit the Xiao n." Yu Long grabbed the winter robe and ced it on his shoulder.


    Chu Yueli didn''t know why her young master act like this, but she still followed him.


    Yu Long sent a sound transmission to Xia Qingyue and Cang Yue before leaving. He jumped to the sky and mumbled, "In the original story, Yun Che was ''literally'' reincarnated into Xiao Che''s body."


    "After he jumped into the Cloud''s End Cliff, his soul went to the Profound Sky Continent."


    "The current Xiao Che is a different character..."


    ''Master.'' A voice suddenly appeared in Yu Long''s head.


    ''Levy?'' Yu Long recognized the voice.


    ''Yes, this is me, Di-! I mean, Levy.'' The Leviathan coughed awkwardly.


    Yu Long smiled wryly and asked, ''What''s the problem? Have you arrived at the other Continent?''


    Levy grumbled, ''Yes, That''s the problem. I have arrived at the Azure Sky Continent you mentioned, but something is preventing me from entering thend.''


    ''The same goes for Shadow Realm''s members.''


    ''As if the invisible barrier is stopping us.''


    ''I used my sensing ability and felt countless humans in the Azure Sky Continent freezing like statues. As if time has stopped.''


    Yu Long''s golden eyes widened, ''Don''t tell me...''


    BOOM!


    Yu Long increased his pace and arrived at the Xiao n, leaving Chu Yueli behind.


    He used his Profound Sense and searched for someone with damaged profound veins. After a few seconds, he teleported to a small pavilion where a youngdy was crying a river and shaking a pale youth on the ground.


    "XIAO CHE!" The youngdy screamed in horror.


    Yu Long sensed an intense soul forceing from the pendant on Xiao Che''s chest and grinned like the monster he was.


    ''Hoho, NOT ON MY WATCH, BITCH!''


    ''FUCK THE PLOT!''

    --- Chapter 87 ---


    "Xiao Che!" Xiao Lingxi hugged the fallen youth with tears running from her eyes.


    They were enjoying fish soup when Xiao Che suddenly crashed to the ground with a paleplexion.


    Xiao Lingxi has no medical knowledge. So, she couldn''t determine the cause of Xiao Che''s sudden ailment.


    She felt as powerless as ever.


    "Step back, girl. I''ll handle the rest."


    Xiao Lingxi suddenly heard a deep voice and felt a pair of hands on her shoulder. A warm winter coat was covering her body.Tears blurred her vision, leaving a smidge of the figure''s silhouette.


    Yes, a broad and strong back. The back that seemingly carried the weight of a whole world.


    Xiao Lingxi fainted on the spot, and the thunderclouds above sent a ck thunderbolt at Yu Long.


    "Yueli, take her away."


    "Yes, Young Master." In a sh, a white cloud appeared and wrapped Xiao Lingxi''s body, carrying the youngdy out of the pavilion.


    BOOM!


    Yu Long ignored the ck thunderbolt and casually waved his hand, erecting a force field. Even though the ck thunderbolt possessed immense power that could punish any mortal, Yu Long was on apletely different level.


    He stretched his hand, wanting to grab the Mirror of Samsara on Xiao Che''s chest. As a result, a powerful soul attack struck Yu Long in retaliation.


    Mirror of Samsara, or Reincarnation Mirror, is the seventh of the seven mysterious heavenly treasures. Although rankedst among the Seven Heavenly Profound Treasures, its power is the most mysterious among the seven.


    It can pass through the cycle of rebirth and distort cause and effect. The time and conditions for its activation are unknown. After every use, it''ll hibernate for 20 years.


    Yu Long recalled every information about the Mirror of Samsara in his memory bank and frowned. Truthfully, the Mirror of Samsara is the key to bing the Against the Gods'' Protagonist.


    Anything that can distort cause and effect is literally PLOT ARMOR.


    Yu Long could feel the mysterious forcetching on Xiao Che like a flex tape, protecting him from harm.


    But so what?


    ''You might have the Mirror of Samsara, but I have [Kaiju Maker]!'' He put on an excited grin.


    Yu Long would like to see which one is stronger.


    "Everyone, brace yourself. I''m going to do something big."


    The Kaiju inside Yu Long''s inner world and other ces instinctively felt a deeper connection with their creator. They gasped and immediately supported him with their energy.


    Yu Long amassed an astronomical amount of energy, feeling a single touch of his finger could tear space and time. If he wanted to, the Blue Pole Star might disappear because of his presence alone.


    The sky turned color.


    Bright golden light descended and parted the thunderclouds away.


    However, the thunderclouds stubbornly fought back and stayed above the Floating Cloud City.


    ''Master, the Azure Sky Continent is...'' Levy alerted the situation near him.


    At the moment, the Azure Sky Continent experienced something akin to a time rewind. Every living entity on the continent disappeared and was ''slowly'' reced with a younger version of themselves.


    The dead even returned to the living world.


    It was a ridiculous sight, even for Levy. At least, the Levithan knew that the base Yu Long couldn''t achieve this result.


    Yu Long took note of Levy''s words and mumbled, "I see..."


    "So, that''s why..." He gazed at Xiao Che''s pale face. "What a poor guy you are, Xiao Che."


    "You''re just a pawn used to resurrect the Protagonist."


    Yu Long made several guests in his head and knew most missed the mark, but one thing is correct. The death of Yun Che in Cloud''s End Cliff triggered Mirror of Samsara''s ability.


    And Yu Long also knew the Mirror of Samsara wasn''t Yun Che. There is a lingering, primordial force inside the pendant.


    Yu Long sighed, "I don''t have much time."


    "You forced me to do this..."


    [Forbidden Skill - Kaiju Overdrive!]


    Over one hundred thousand high-graded essence spheres inside Yu Long''s inner world lit up and lost their glow.


    Overflowing vitality burst out, making Yu Long''s nicely tied hair red out and danced wildly from the air pressure.


    [Force Bubble (F) >>> Force Bubble(SSS)]


    Yu Long stared at the Mirror of Samsara and released an invisible bubble that covered Xiao Che''s whole body.


    Using [Dragon-Phoenix''s Sight], [Profound Sense], and [Insect Emperor''s Vision] also allowed Yu Long to see what naked eyes couldn''t see.


    Meanwhile, [Thoughts eleration] and [Bio-Electricity] give Yu Long''s godly calcting speed.


    "Let''s see what you''re capable of."


    BOOM!


    Yu Long''s intent prated through the Mirror of Samsara and caused anotheryer crack on its mirror.


    "Come on! SHOW ME MORE!" Heughed because the protection inside the Heavenly Profound Treasure had weakened rapidly. The same goes for his Kaiju Maker''s force.


    "SHOW ME WHAT THIS WORLD CAN OFFER TO ME!"


    "HAHAHA~!"


    Yu Long was excited.


    For once, the [Kaiju Maker] finally met its opponent.


    BOOM!


    ck thunderbolts and golden light shed in the sky.


    A violent earthquake shook the surroundingnd of Floating Cloud City.


    Animals and profound beasts shrieked in horror.


    Yu Long grabbed the Mirror of Samsara and yanked it away from Xiao Che''s body. Intense white light poured out of the Heavenly Profound Treasure, attempting to escape the [Kaiju Maker]''s grasp.


    Countless memories appeared in Yu Long''s head, making him frown in disbelief. "T-This is... Damn it." He cursed between his breaths.


    "Let go..." A cold female voice ticked Yu Long''s heart through his ears.


    "Let him GO!"


    "LET YUN CHE GO!"


    "Otherwise, I''d curse you for eternity..."


    Yu Long smiled and flipped his middle finger, "Try me."


    BOOM!


    Intense energy erupted from the Mirror of Samsara and blew Yu Long away, causing him to fly and crash onto a mountain. But still, his hand is formed on the pendant.


    "LET HIM GO!" A dark silhouette stepped on Yu Long''s stomach.


    Yu Long stared at the dark silhouette dumbly and chuckled with a bloody mouth, "Hehe, you finally revealed yourself, you little witch."


    The dark silhouette was none other than Xiao Lingxi. However, her appearance is much different.


    Her face bes more profound and filled with mystery, possessing this indescribable charm. Like Yu Long''s hair, her formerly tied hair has fallen to her waist and glowed with dim white light.


    At the moment, the two rulers are staring at each other fiercely.


    One with anger.


    And others with amusement.


    Invisible forces collided in the Primal Chaos''s stream of destiny.


    "What makes you think you''re in charge here?" Yu Long mocked indifferently. "I''ve traced the Mirror of Samsara and found some shady things you''ve done in the background."


    "Oh, Ancestral God."


    "It''s quite hurtful, to be honest. I thought we were more than acquaintances, considering we have met before..."


    "I don''t know who you are..." Xiao Lingxi grimaced. Her voice is dripping with a tinge of honey.


    Yu Long was amused, "Of course, you don''t..."


    "The current is only a girl who unleashed a bit of your true power."


    "You''re too emotional for the Ancestral God of the Primal Chaos. How could you, an ultimate being, be lost to the feeling of a mortal girl?"


    "Ridiculous, you''re simply ying favorites when countless lives of others changed due to your selfish agenda. You changed the timeline of the world, and you altered it to suit your beloved YUN CHE!"


    "YOU FUCKING SIMP!" Yu Long roared in anger. Through the memories he obtained from the Mirror of Samsara, he learned that Xia Qingyue''s destiny and fate were ''purposely'' tempered!


    Yes, Xia Qingyue suffered so much because she was the device to fix Yun Che''s destiny. And not to mention every messy thing that happened in the original story.


    All this is due to Xiao Lingxi''s selfish desire that awakened Ancestral God''s consciousness deep in her soul.


    It was a temporary and partial awakening but allowed Xiao Lingxi to alter the world as she saw fit. ording to the memory, this isn''t Yun Che''s second life.


    It''s his fucking third life!


    "I-I..." Xiao Lingxi suddenly stuttered. She lifted her hand and covered her face in confusion.


    "What am I doing?"


    "Xiao Che? Where is Xiao Che?"


    After a while, Xiao Lingxi fell to the ground with an emotionless expression.


    "This isn''t supposed to happen." Her voice came out. It was calmer than Xiao Lingxi and lower by several octaves.


    "My 1000th Reincarnation."


    "To think, chaos was created by it..."


    "No, I created it... At this point, Primal Chaos will cease to exist."


    "Yeah, you''re fucked!" Yu Long sat up and wiped the blood from his mouth. "Anyway, have you calmed down?"


    Xiao Lingxi-! No, the Ancestral God herself stared at Yu Long and answered, "Yes."


    "I never thought we would meet again like this, King of Monsters."


    "So, what''re you going to do topensate me? Just you know, I wasted my precious force for this crap." Yu Long shows her the Mirror of Samsara.


    The useless Heavenly Profound Treasure in his hand is no different than a nice-looking pendant because its cause-and-effect maniption and reincarnation ability will lie dormant for twenty years.


    Ancestral God hesitated for a second, "Before that... Can you let him away?"


    "Even though it was my 1000th Reincarnation''s selfish desire, her desire is still mine, at the end of the day..."


    "Sure, but you have to give something in return." Yu Long put on a sly look.


    Ancestral God sighed, "Okay."


    "State your demand."


    "I want you to be my maid for two hundred years!" Yu Long said without skipping a beat and left the Ancestral God speechless.


    The Ancestral God looked at Yu Long''s golden eyes and knew there was no room for a bargain. "I can''t do that. My current state isn''t stable enough to create a new body."


    "Don''t worry. I can make a new body for you." Yu Long whispered like a devil he was. "All you need to do is give me a piece of your soul."


    "I know your true soul will sleep again after this. I won''t ask much."


    Ancestral God bit her lips and waved her finger, writing a soul contract between her and Yu Long. There is also a piece of her true soul in this contract.


    Yu Long read the contract, "Done."


    White light escaped and flew to Xiao Che''s dying body, adding a new life to it.


    Ancestral God gazed ahead and frowned, "Y-You, You didn''t honor the contract?!"


    "Why did you erase Yun Che''s memory and karma?!"


    "He doesn''t need it. That guy you Simp over will live as Xiao Che, that everyone knows, not the one you brought from another timeline."


    "Be grateful. You make my Qingyue suffer..." He gazed at the Ancestral God indifferently. "If you''re any other person, I''d prefer to kill you a thousand, if not a million times, in my inner world..."


    "But I know Primal Chaos won''tst long without you."


    "You better forget about him. You have lived 999 lives, but one corrupts you this much. You know how ridiculous that sounds?"


    "From now on, you''re my servant." Yu Long leaned forward and lifted the Ancestral God''s chin, using [Kaiju Maker] to drag a portion of her true soul out.


    After receiving the memory from the Mirror of Samsara, he couldn''t think of any other method than this. He felt sorry for the Ancestral God but also ridiculed her weakness.


    "See youter, my Ancestral Servant." Yu Long bade farewell.


    As the Ancestral God''s possession is over, Xiao Lingxi returns to her original appearance, and her energy level rapidly goes down to an ordinary person.


    Yu Long waved his hand and created several array formations, sealing Xiao Lingxi''s connection with Ancestral God''s true soul.


    From now on, she will only live as Xiao Lingxi and nothing else.


    Poor Ancestral God. She doesn''t know that Yu Long has tempered her path of cultivation.


    "Her 1000th Reincarnation has be invalid. Ancestral God, Don''t worry. You will be reborn as one of my greatest masterpieces." Yu Longughed and brought Xiao Lingxi back to the Xiao n.

 Chapter 89: Sky Poison Pearl and Chu Yuelis feelings

    Chapter 89: Sky Poison Pearl and Chu Yueli''s feelings


    I have added this fanfic to my P4treon Page. You can support me and read advanced chapters there. It motivate me to write more chapters for you guys!


    Link: /NineClouds69


    --- Chapter 88 ---


    Yu Longnded on the destroyed courtyard and saw Xiao Che''s body glowing in white light. He ignored the protagonist, who had lost his plot armor and searched for something.


    "Hmm, there is no Sky Poison Pearl?" Yu Long tilted his head in confusion.


    However, Yu Long shortly felt a stinging sensation on his left hand.


    At the same time, Levy''s voice entered his mind.


    ''Master, the continent is stabilizing itself.''


    ''Every living being on the continent finally moved again. Also, the invisible barrier has disappeared.''Yu Long listened to the report silently and lifted his left hand, seeing a circr green pattern on his palm.


    A connection between the pattern and Yu Long appeared out of nowhere, which caused his lips to curve into a smile.


    ''Good job, continue your mission.'' Yu Long responded.


    ''Understood!''


    After saying farewell, the Leviathan cut themunication link.


    Yu Long stared at the circr green pattern and closed his eyes.


    He entered the pocket dimension inside the pattern and saw a vast green space. No, it was boundless space with no limit and kept expanding when his senses probed further.


    The Sky Poison Pearl, or Heavenly Poison Bead, is one of the Seven Heavenly Profound Treasures and ranked fifth. The Sky Poison Pearl''s capabilities are ''mainly'' centered around poison, medicine, purification, and space.


    Yu Long just discovered one aspect of it, which is space.


    ''If I could extract this profound pattern... I could create a room with a simr function.'' Yu Long is different from your typical cultivation world''s protagonist.


    As for the poison aspect, Yu Long knew the Sky Poison Pearl that had merged with his left hand was iplete. The reason is the Mirror of Samsara''s reincarnation ability that caused a split in the timeline.


    The other half of Sky Poison Pearl is below Cloud''s End Cliff, where Yun Che ended his life.


    Well, all the goodies Yun Che brought from his failed reincarnation fell into Yu Long''s hand. He has be the sole owner of the Mirror of Samsara after some tug-of-war with the Ancestral God''s will.


    "Haha." Yu Longughed in amusement.


    In just five minutes or so, two of the Heavenly Profound Treasures have be his possession.


    Well, technically, one and a half out of the seven.


    Yu Long coughed awkwardly and looked around, sensing no one was staring at him.


    He sighed in relief and searched for Chu Yueli because she should be around here. He found the frosty maid fainted near a pond, having a paleplexion.


    "Y-Young Master..." Chu Yueli called out weakly.


    ''That damned SIMP!'' Yu Long''s heartstrings tug when seeing Chu Yueli like this. He kneeled and checked her condition, finding her blood essence and profound strength were in disarray.


    Chu Yueli probably felt incredible shock when Xiao Lingxi awakened her Ancestral God''s true soul. It was so intense her mortal body couldn''t handle it.


    Yu Long caressed Chu Yueli''s cheeks gently and flowed his vitality into her body. The snowydy closed her eyes and feltfortable, unknowingly leaning against Yu Long''s shoulder.


    After a while, Chu Yueli''splexion recovered and became healthy again. However, she''s still in a weak state, considering how powerful Ancestral God''s presence was.


    "Y-Young Master, what happened?" Chu Yueli opened her mouth with difficulty. Her voice sounds hoarse and sick.


    Yu Long rubbed her head, "Sleep for now. I''ll exinter." ''


    "I, okay." Chu Yueli wanted to say she was okay, but she knew her condition was horrible.


    She never felt that horrible in her life.


    Still, thanks to it, she could feel Yu Long''s embrace.


    ''This is a blessing in disguise.'' Chu Yueli thought with a smile, enjoying Yu Long''s warmth.


    Yu Long carried Chu Yueli like a princess and walked to Xiao Che, doing thest check. He threw a pill that entered the youth''s mouth and healed his broken profound veins, opening all the profound entrances in one swoop.


    Without Yun Che''s memory, Xiao Che would only be Xiao Che.


    If he''s being a good boy, Yu Long might help him to reunite with his real blood family. However, that would be far in the future.


    Yu Long walked to the fainted Xiao Lingxi and drew some drops of her blood. He was ''actually'' tempted to turn her into an essence sphere but guessed it would trigger a ''bad'' g.


    "Whatever. I''ve sealed Xiao Lingxi''s connection with the Ancestor God''s true soul and probably would leave a Kaiju to monitor herter." He stared at the empty air.


    "Uda, watch her for me."


    "Gotcha, boss!" A male voice echoed, but no one was around. Uda is none other than Space Walker, a Kaiju that Yu Long created with a certain Uchiha in mind.


    Of course, there are some more of him.


    "Hmm?" Yu Long sensed something and spotted Xiao Lie frantically running into the courtyard with a panicked expression.


    "Xiao Che, Lingxi!"


    "You, who are you?!" Xiao Lie released his pitiful early Sky Profound Realm cultivation before Yu Long.


    Yu Long waved casually, "Calm down, Senior Lie."


    "I''m Yu Long."


    "I wasing here to do the favor you requested but protected these two from the ck thunderbolts instead. Phew, that was wild." He brushed the matter of Ancestral God away.


    Xiao Lie''s eyes widened in surprise as he finally noticed the destruction in the courtyard. The pavilion has turned into a pile of ashes. The same goes for the trees and nts around it.


    "This is..." He gazed back at Yu Long and noticed some blood on his clothes. "Your Highness, do you perhaps need assistance?"


    "I can see that you have some blood-!"


    "This is nothing but scratch." Yu Long responded calmly. "Then, I''ll excuse myself."


    "Oh, by the way. I''ve fixed your grandson''s profound veins. And don''t worry, I won''t charge extra for protecting those two..." He added while disappearing into the distance.


    Xiao Lie felt grateful and bowed, "Thank you for everything, Your Highness!"


    ...


    Yu Long whistled and awkwardly forgot to exin to Xiao Lie that the Mirror of Samsara was now in his possession.


    "Well, I''ll cross that bridge when Ie to it."


    As Yu Long returned to Xiao Manor, he was ''immediately'' bombarded with questions by Xia Qingyue and Cang Yue. Xia Qingyue, in particr, asked him about the ck thunderbolt and the immense energy in the mountain ahead.


    Meanwhile, Cang Yue asked why the fortune around Yu Long increased so much in just one trip. The Monarch Heart Secret Art she cultivated could feel the change in Yu Long''s luck.


    Yu Long showed them the Mirror of Samsara and narrated the story about Xiao Lingxi''s possession, but discarded some parts because those weren''t necessary. For now, that is.


    "Xiao Lingxi."


    "Ancestral God."


    "Mirror of Samsara."


    "You''ve gone through a lot, Big Brother." Xia Qingyue put on a weak smile.


    She sighed inside because she should have followed Yu Long to the Xiao n. At the very least, she could have seen the Ancestral God in the flesh.


    Yu Long brought Chu Yueli to the guest room and ced her on the bed gently. ''I want to make Ancestral God''s new body, but I''ve exhausted every energy reserve I had.'' He put on a pained expression.


    Yu Long couldn''t use [Kaiju Synchronization] and [Kaiju Overdrive] for three months. That''s the same amount of time Yu Long needs to gather enough Primordial Energy to make a new Kaiju.


    Unknown to Yu Long, Chu Yueli is awake all this time.


    When she saw Yu Long''s pained expression, she thought he felt guilty for her current state.


    She felt touched and undoubtedly warm inside. While Yu Long did care for Chu Yueli''s well-being, the maid just misunderstood his expression and put her twist on it.


    Even then, this is thest push for Chu Yueli''s feelings to bloom wonderfully.


    It was a small gesture from Yu Long, but can you me Chu Yueli for being a maiden in love?


    If Yu Long knew what Chu Yueli was thinking, he''d probably felt helpless but nheless happy.


    Yu Long grabbed a nket and covered Chu Yueli''s body, "Sleep well, Yueli."


    "We will go to the Frozen Cloud Asgard after you be healthy." He decided to stay because the red-haired loli from the upper realm might follow the plot and be stranded at the Blue Pole Star.


    The red-haired loli''s blood and Evil God''s blood are tempting research materials.


    After saying that, Yu Long left Chu Yueli alone and closed the door. As soon as the door fit with its frame, Chu Yueli could feel warmth creep up to her face.


    Chu Yueli blushed and mumbled, "Y-Young Master actually cared about me this deeply."


    "I love you, Young Master..." She stared at the ceiling while feeling fluttering butterflies in her stomach.

    --- Chapter 89 ---


    Unknown Area.


    "T-That blonde bitch..." A hateful and bloodthirsty groan echoed in a lonely dimensional tunnel.


    "I should have known better."


    "The immortal blood of the Evil God. She''s also desiring this, but I still fell into her trap."


    "Also, those disgusting degenerates... I''ll kill themter."


    A crimson light bloomed in the darkness as a girl walked with staggering steps.Each step the girl took felt like continuous torture. The cursed poison she was ''unfortunately'' inflicted with began devouring her body, slowly and surely killing her.


    She gritted her teeth and forced her petite body to move forward. Her long, bright red hair swayed back and forth.


    Pain is nothing!


    In the end, everything will be worth it.


    ''For mother.''


    ''For brother.''


    ''For Cai Zhi.''


    ''I shall live!'' The girl''s red eyes shone with vengeful spirit.


    As the crimson-haired girl was about to take another step, the feeling of a dimensional tunnel crumbling entered her ears.


    She cursed because those hateful degenerates were still chasing after her. She didn''t like this.


    "There is no other choice..." She lifted a short scarlet-red dagger with immense difficulty. Just doing this small gesture alone felt like torture.


    The girl breathed in, staring at the iing enemy with a feral grin because she wouldn''t fall like this.


    They wanted to corner and end her life here.


    Haha, then she would make this ce their burial.


    Fighting in the dimensional tunnel is excessively dangerous, and with one ''small'' mistake, any living being could get swept by a dangerous dimensional storm.


    It''s almost taboo, but these degenerates didn''t care.


    From afar, the girl could sense the disgusting presence of the woman whom her brother had terribly fallen in love with as if he was charmed and even willingly sacrificed his life for something that wretched blonde woman wanted.


    "God ying de... Feast upon my blood."


    "Today, I''ll unleash the power of Heavenly ughter Star God."


    "Exterminate everything on my path..."


    "Star God''s Brilliant Annihting sh!"


    A terrifying crimson light arc appeared in the dimensional tunnel as the girl''s chasers felt their entire bodies experience pure annihtion. They erected several defensive artifacts and techniques, but the arc literally passed through each of them effortlessly.


    "Die!"


    A single sentence echoed in the cold dimensional tunnel.


    BOOM!


    The tunnel exploded and created several cracks.


    The scarlet-haired girl wiped her bloody mouth and mumbled, "Just you wait..."


    "I''ll avenge my brother."


    With that, the girl let herself get swept by the dimensional storm and followed the stream of space.


    A faint white protective barrier covered her petite body, but the girl knew it was a futile attempt.


    If a miracle truly existed, she hoped she could survive this ordeal.


    ...


    Primal Chaos''s Edge, Blue Pole Star.


    Floating Cloud City.


    Yu Long sat on top of a giant rock while watching the morning sunshine and absorbed the violet qi thates with it. As he breathed in and out, purple mist came out from his mouth.


    It''s been two days since Yu Long''s sh with the Ancestral God, albeit in her iplete and weakest form.


    Even then, Yu Long was able to scam-! Cough, he meant he finalized a deal with the strongest being in this cultivation world.


    It''s all thanks to the Mirror of Samsara.


    Before the 7th-ranked Heavenly Profound Treasure''s ability entered a cooldown time, Yu Long absorbed its master''s memory, Ancestral God.


    The memory is about Xiao Lingxi before Yun Che''s second life.


    Everything is nearly simr in Yun Che''s first life, but there is no Xia Qingyue. Well, the youth still died from Heart Murdering Powder, and Xiao Lingxi used the Ancestral God''s power over the Mirror of Samsara to give Yun Che a second chance.


    Xiao Lingxi created a second timeline, where her Xiao Che reincarnated as a baby in the Azure Cloud Continent. The boy grows and learns under the tutge of Yun Gu, the Medical Saint.


    He died again after jumping into the Cloud''s End Cliff.


    The Mirror of Samsara was at the end of cooldown time, allowing Yun Che to enter his third life.


    Still, in the second timeline, Yun Che''s soul returned to Xiao Che''s body with all his second life''s memories.


    This second timeline was well-carved by Xiao Lingxi(Ancestral God) as she even made Xia Qingyue(the artifact of fate) to fix Yun Che''s life.


    She even sacrificed 800 of her lifetime to grant Yun Che a unique constitution called Ancestral Sacred Body or Ancestral Body of Nothingness.


    Unfortunately for Yun Che and Ancestral God.


    A variable like Yu Long appeared out of nowhere and broke the well-prepared path.


    At first, Kaiju Maker couldn''t ept how his beloved Xia Qingyue''s life was ''inherently'' manipted by this Simp Ancestral God. He even ridiculed the first being of the Primal Chaos because of it.


    He hated it.


    That''s why Yu Long devised a quick n.


    A n that would change Primal Chaos and its fate forever by turning Ancestral God into his loyal follower.


    And he only has 200 years, which is more than enough.


    Xiao Lingxi(the 1000th reincarnation) won''t be able to activate the Ancestral God''s power, and Yu Long even sealed the link between the two.


    By doing so, the 1000th reincarnation of Ancestral God bes invalid.


    Yu Long nned to twist that 1000th reincarnation to his benefit, possibly making the oldest being of Primal Chaos into his SIMP instead.


    He would make Ancestral God thoroughly attached to him, even couldn''t bear the idea of living without him. Of course, he wouldn''t treat Ancestral God as warmly as others because she messed with Xia Qingyue and needed to atone for it.


    In short, Yu Long would turn Ancestral God into a ve. At least for quite a long period until the karma the Ancestral God forced on others is pletely'' evened.


    Yu Long opened his eyes and chuckled, "Haha, At this point, I''m no different than those cultivation world protagonists."


    "But Ancestral God deserves such a treatment."


    "Hmph, how dare she temper Qingyue''s fate." He was still annoyed by this fact.


    "My what?" A voicees from behind.


    "Uh..." Yu Long nced back and saw Xia Qingyue in her conservative blue dress. Even though the dress didn''t expose skin, it framed her developing curves beautifully.


    Xia Qingyue tilted her head at Yu Long''s reaction and asked, "I heard something about my name and fate. What''s it all about, Big Brother?"


    "Also, why do you look like a guilty child who hid someone from his parents?"


    "Did you hide something from me..?" She walked forward with a smile and whispered.


    ''Using your Heart of Snow zed ss to interrogate me is cheating!'' Yu Long shook his head bitterly. His lips twitched slightly.


    Xia Qingyue giggled, "If you don''t want to answer, it''s okay."


    "When Big Brother hides something from me, I''m probably not ready to learn about it."


    Yu Long sighed in defeat, "Fine. I''ll tell you in three months or so."


    "Three months, it is." Xia Qingyue''s smile widened.


    She ced down a pic nket and sat beside Yu Long, leaning her head against his right shoulder. "I wish we could stay like this forever."


    "Yeah." Yu Long agreed. However, knowing the imminent future, he knew a peaceful time like this would end soon.


    Two youngsters sat on the massive rock, enjoying each other''s presence and warmth. They could step into the next step anytime, but one is too shy, and the other is too well, afraid of a certain organization.


    (AN: Hold up, FBI didn''t exist here)


    "Big Brother..." Xia Qingyue called him softly.


    "I-I heard that when two lovers meet, they always greet each other with a kiss."


    "Don''t you think we should start kissing now?"


    Yu Long blinked in surprise and said, "I mean... Yeah."


    "Do you want to kiss me?"


    "Un." Xia Qingyue buried her face on his chest, blushing hard. She could feel her cheeks burning from the embarrassment.


    Yu Long chuckled and responded, "Then, do you want to try?"


    "Kissing, that is."


    Xia Qingyue didn''t say anything but still nodded her head. It''s so damn adorable!


    Yu Long took a deep breath and lifted Xia Qingyue''s chin, watching her face flush.


    Finally, Yu Long kissed her lips lightly.


    Xia Qingyue''s heart was about to burst from the feelings she was experiencing right now.


    It was warm and fuzzy, filling her with happiness.


    Yu Long wanted to kiss her again and thought, ''The only thing that could stop me is someone falling from the sky.''


    As if the world is responding to Yu Long, a spatial tear appears above them, and someone falls.


    ''Oy, Oy, you gotta be kidding me! I Was Joking!'' Yu Long gazed at the falling scarlet-haired girl.


    Yu Long somehow felt the Mirror of Samsara made him inherit Yun Che''s shitty protagonist halo instead. Why is it so random?!

    --- Chapter 110 ---


    After Cang Yue broke through, everyone sat on a pic nket and ate lunch, which Hong Guan tactfully prepared beforehand.


    That''s until Cang Yue uttered something regarding her family.


    "Eh, You want me to visit your father?" Yu Long finished his food when Cang Yue proposed this idea.


    Cang Yue nodded and smiled, "Yes. What''s the matter, you don''t want to meet him? Also, it should be your father-inw now rather than just your father."


    An awkward expression crept on Yu Long''s face as he didn''t mean to sound dense. After all, Yu Long was happy to have Cang Yue as his wife, but he never met her family aside from her mother, the Blue Wind Empire''s Empress, Lan Shirou.


    He chuckled weakly, "My bad.""But why all of a sudden?"


    Cang Yue ced a well-cooked meat in Yu Long''s mouth and answered casually, "He just wanted to meet you."


    "I mean, as a father-inw, he wanted to meet the man who would marry his daughter, no? Although you''re an excellent figure, nothing is better than meeting someone personally."


    "Ah, so that''s why." Yu Long nodded attentively, chewing the food fed by Cang Yue.


    After changing Cang Yue''s fate, Yu Long also altered the plot of the world substantially. The fallen Blue Wind Empire recovered with the help of the Lost Heaven Sect.


    Cang Yue''s Father, Cang Wanhe, was an able emperor.


    He has an ambition to make the Blue Wind Empire great again, but he was ''purposely'' sabotaged in the original story, which led him to be gravely ill.


    The sabotage didn''t happen in this timeline, nor did his wife Lan Shirou die earlier, allowing Cang Wanhe to rule the empire into prosperity.


    Hong Guan ced down her chopsticks andmented, "If you want to visit the Blue Wind Imperial City, we still have enough time as the Blue Wind Ranking Tournament will only get started a monthter."


    "At the same time, there will be an auction at the Blue Wind Imperial City two weekster. It''s a good event to rx and enjoy your time with your father-inw."


    "You also might want to visit the branch there because we discovered some Star Eggs you mentioned earlier."


    "Wow..." Xia Qingyue pped her hands.


    "Eh?" Cang Yue blinked at Hong Guan.


    Yu Long stared at Hong Guan in disbelief. Since when did Hong Guan be such a capable secretary?


    "Were you always this sensible?" Yu Long couldn''t help but ask.


    Hong Guan shook her head gently and said, "After a recent breakthrough in my profound arts mastery, I felt my mind be much clearer and could think faster."


    "I used this to my advantage, managing the Lost Heaven Sect and Shadow Realm most efficiently."


    "As for sensibleness, that was intentional because I want the best for you."


    Yu Long felt touched by Hong Guan''s words and sighed, "You must be tired..."


    ''If we have free time, would you like to go on a date, Guan?'' He sent a sound transmission, which surprised Hong Guan a bit.


    Hong Guan''s green eyes widened as she nodded weakly, somewhat excited about their iing date. Nevertheless, she must n a few things first.


    Xia Qingyue and Cang Yue didn''t know the date between the two, but they could smell something in the air.


    ''What''s this bubbly, warm mood?'' Xia Qingyue nced at Cang Yue.


    ''I don''t know.'' Cang Yue responded.


    Meanwhile, Jasmine listened to their conversation and ate her desserts peacefully. She''s in her own realm of joy!


    ...


    The next day.


    "You want to visit Wanhe? That''s rare." Yu Zhan said after hearing about Yu Long''s next trip.


    "Yeah." Yu Long answered helplessly.


    "That''s rough, buddy." Xu Sanshan snickered at his grandson. "Well, there is nothing about visiting your inws."


    Three men sat on the rock, watching thedies pile gifts into a small mountain for Cang Yue''s mother and father.


    "Remember to give this shawl to your mother."


    "And this one-thousand-year tonic is for your father."


    "Oh, don''t forget to take this jade bracelet!"


    Cang Yue was overwhelmed by Xu Nannan and Yu Xin. Now Cang Yue understood how extremely pampered Xia Qingyue was a few days ago.


    Xia Qingyue watched this with an amused expression.


    Who doesn''t love pampering? Of course, Xia Qingyue liked it, but one hour with Xu Nannan and Yu Xin was enough to make her admit defeat.


    Watching Cang Yue suffer from the same sess, Xia Qingyue felt relieved. People do say misery lovespany.


    After an hour or so, Cang Yue overstuffed her spatial storage with gifts from her grandmother-inw and mother-inw. We are talking about several thousand cubics of space.


    "Send my hit to Shirou. I can''t visit her yet because I have to feed her daily." Yu Xin said with a grin.


    Xu Nannan revealed a merry expression and chuckled, "Yeah, the same goes for me. I have a big baby to take care of."


    "Pfft-!" Everyoneughed when they heard Xu Nannan''s words, including Yu Zhan and Yu Long.


    Xu Sanshan red at Yu Zhan with a dark expression and said, "I dare you tough, you little bastard! I dare you, I double dare you!"


    "I..." Yu Zhan stoppedughing awkwardly.


    Yu Zhan might have be a profound practitioner years ago and strong enough to protect his dear family, but fighting his father-inw aroused PTSD deep in his bones and blood.


    The day of broken bones was over, but Yu Zhan couldn''t get over it.


    ''Don''t worry, Father. I willugh on your behalf!'' Yu Long''s voice suddenly echoed in Yu Zhan''s head.


    Yu Long held his stomach and suddenly added, "Old Man, Big Baby doesn''t suit you. What about Old Baby instead, hahaha~!"


    "Pfft-!" Xu Nannan was the one whoughed this time.


    "..." Xu Sanshan.


    "You despicable rascal!"


    "You have no respect for elders at all!"


    Yu Zhan stared at this and smiled inwardly because Yu Long still had his back.


    Not long after, the elders watched Yu Long and hispanions fly to the horizon.


    "If you want to talk, talk with your fist." Xu Sanshanmented casually.


    "You''re strong, but not strong enough to defeat me yet."


    "I''ll be waiting." After saying that, Xu Sanshan turned around and flew away.


    "Aih, he''s not honest at all." Xu Nannan sighed and gave Yu Zhan an apologizing look. "I shouldn''t have made that joke earlier."


    "I... It''s alright." Yu Zhan smiled wryly. "I''m used to it anyway."


    ''I know he was doing it for Yu Xin in the past, but I also have pride.'' Yu Zhan stared at his father-inw''s back and vowed someday to beat him in a fair fight. Of course, He must train more and more for now.


    Yu Xin stared at her husband and hugged his arm, "Let''s go, I willfort you..."


    ''Yeah, for Yu Xin and my family.'' Yu Zhan''s heart warmed.


    Yu Long doesn''t know, but he might get another younger sibling soon.


    ...


    Yu Long and six beauties flew into the sky, creating a sonic beam with their speed alone.


    "By the way, where is Lily?" Yu Long asked.


    "Ah, yeah. Where is Lily?" Cang Yue finally realized someone was missing from their group.


    Hong Guan patted her forehead and sighed, "She''s already gone to the Blue Wind Imperial Family. She was the one who initiated the auction."


    "That money-grubber..." Chu Yueli indifferently grumbled. "She probably wants to cheat everyone''s money there."


    "Is she that bad?" Chu Yuechan, who flew beside Chu Yueli, asked.


    Yu Long, Xia Qingyue, Cang Yue, Hong Guan, and Chu Yueli opened their mouth and said, "Yes."


    "She even cheated me once." Yu Long recalled when they were staying at the Dragon God Trial Ground.


    "Eh?" Chu Yuechan gasped in shock. Is that even possible?


    Yu Long waved his hand and continued, "Don''t look at me like that. Even though I''m godlike in your eyes, I''m not perfect."


    "Only a few people could win against me in a gamble, and Lily is one of them."


    After hearing that, Chu Yuechan frowned and decided to remember Yu Long''s words. She wouldn''t trust Lily with her money!


    Jasmine listened to Yu Long''s frustration and couldn''t help but think, who is this great master who could make this scoundrel suffer? With this in mind, she was curious.


    ''Can I learn from her?'' Jasmine thought seriously.


    Three hourster.


    They arrived at the Blue Wind Imperial Family,nding in the Blue Wind Royal Pce''s garden. Several guards immediately surrounded them, but Cang Yue stepped forward and dismissed them.


    "Dear, let''s go." Cang Yue sweetly said as she hugged Yu Long''s arm.


    Yu Long nodded, and they entered the pce.


    "Hey, is that?" One guard dumbly stared at Yu Long''s back.


    "Yes, he must be Princess''s fiance."


    "The only disciple of Lost Heaven Master and young master of the titan merchant n, Yu Long!"


    "As expected, he''s such an extraordinary young man."


    Cang Yue dragged Yu Long to the gallery room and opened the door, revealing a middle-aged man in an azure robe.


    "Father, I''m back!" Cang Yue leaped and hugged the middle-aged man.


    "Wee back." Cang Wanhe weed his daughter''s return.


    "And you''re Yu Long, I suppose?"


    Yu Long nodded and smiled, "Yes, nice to meet you, your majesty."


    Cang Wanhe''s eyes lit up as he chuckled in amusement, "You can call me Father or Father-inw. And your status is higher than mine. There is no need for such formality."


    "It''s still early in the morning. What about breakfast?"


    "Sure." Yu Long found this father-inw of his more amiable than he presumed.

    --- Chapter 117 ---


    The next day.


    Yu Long walked to the Blue Wind Profound Pce with Cang Yue, Xia Qingyue, and Hong Guan. They are here to pick fighters to represent Blue Wind Empire for the iing Blue Wind Ranking Tournament.


    You might wonder where Lily, Jasmine, Chu Yueli, and Chu Yuechan were.


    Well, Jasmine was busy learning things from Lily. As for the Chu Sisters, they are staying in the Blue Wind Imperial Pce because two of them are about to break through.


    "Why are we even here? I''m alone enough to represent the Blue Wind Empire." Cang Yue said with an adorable pout.


    She nced at Yu Long and felt this husband of hers was wasting their time visiting the Blue Wind Profound Pce.The Blue Wind Profound Pce is the Blue Wind Empire''s ''greatest'' cultivation pce. It''s ''actually'' located in the northern area of the Blue Wind Imperial City.


    The profound pce was ''purposely'' established by the Imperial Family 1,800 years ago. It is directly supervised and supplied by the royal family to gather young talents.


    The pce also had a policy that every year, it would ept three of the most distinguished disciples from each profound pce within the Blue Wind Empire. Those disciples will represent the Imperial City in the Blue Wind Ranking Tournament.


    But how could itpare to the Lost Heaven Sect? It''s likeparing mud to gold, discouraging Cang Yue from choosing people there.


    ''The Imperial Family has never entered the top one hundred for a long time, but it will change soon.'' Cang Yue was confident in herself.


    Yu Long chuckled, "Hehe, don''t be like that."


    "We might find some diamonds in the rough, you know?"


    "Acting all mysterious again." Cang Yue cast a suspicious look.


    Xia Qingyue shook her head because she understood where Cang Yue wasing from. She also acknowledged that Cang Yue alone was enough to carry Blue Wind Imperial City. After all, she knew how strong the gentle-looking princess was.


    Still, Xia Qingyue wanted to see what Yu Long had for them.


    Hong Guan was silent the entire time, thinking about what method she should use to spend more time alone with her young master.


    ...


    They arrived at the Blue Wind Profound Pce and saw a middle-aged maning from inside. He''s Dongfang Xiu, the pce master of this ce.


    "Princess." He greeted them with a smile.


    Cang Yue stared at the elder and said calmly, "Long time no see, Elder Xiu."


    "We are here to check some disciples for the iing tournament."


    Dongfang Xiu''s eyes widened as the Imperial Family hadn''t sent him the purpose of this visit. All he knew was that the princess and his fiance woulde.


    He blinked and bowed to Yu Long, "Nice to meet you, Young Lord Yu."


    Yu Long waved casually, "There is no need for such formality. Gather all the disciples in the hall, and we will be waiting there."


    "This..." Dongfang Xiu awkwardly nced at Cang Yue.


    Cang Yue crossed her arms and said, "Just do what he said."


    Dongfang Xiu awkwardly nodded, "Very well. All the disciples will be in the hall in five minutes."


    As they watched Dongfan Xiu leave, Yu Long stared at the middle-aged man''s back andmented, "Not bad, he''s at the 5th level of Emperor Profound Realm."


    "It seems the Blue Wind Imperial Family is using their resources wisely."


    "He''s my father''s bodyguard." Cang Yue responded. "It would be weird if he didn''t reach the Emperor Profound Realm, but it wasn''t enough."


    "The true powerhouse should be the Tyrant Profound Realm or even Sovereign Profound Realm."


    "Well, let''s go inside."


    They walked into the profound pce and noticed a man in a dashing white robe running to the entrance. He bowed at them, "Princess, Young Lord, I''ll escort you to the hall."


    "Wait, You''re Elder Wushang?" Cang Yue said in surprise.


    Elder Wushang, or Qin Wushang, is the vice pce master of the Blue Wind Profound Pce. He''s around his seventies this year and already reached the first stage of Emperor Profound Realm.


    It''s not bad.


    Cang Yue was ''briefly'' taught by him in the past before following Yu Long, so seeing him again in such a state is surprising.


    Qin Wushangughed and replied, "You have be a beautiful young woman, princess. The Imperial Family is going to enter prosperity because of you."


    "I am honored to meet the Young Leader of the Lost Heaven Sect. I''d like to express my gratitude for taking care of the princess all this time," He added, cupping his hands towards Yu Long.


    Yu Long sighed and replied, "She''s my wife, so it''s my job to take care of her."


    "W-Wife?" Qin Wushang was shocked.


    Cang Yue blushed sheepishly, "We will get married soon, Elder Wushang."


    Qin Wushang let out a heartfulugh, "Congrattions, princess, young lord. I wish you two great happiness ahead."


    After that, Qin Wushang escorted them to the Central za, where several disciples gathered. Yu Long scanned the youths one by one and spotted his target.


    It was a red-clothed young man. He was shorter than Yu Long. His face was cold; his thick, ck eyebrows were like two inclined sharp swords, and his gaze was as calm as a pool of still water, without any waves of motion.


    He''s Fen Juechen, part of the Burning Heaven n.


    Of course, Fen Juechen also has a ''special'' identity. He was the first prince of the Eternal Night Royal Family, who reincarnated with the help of the Eternal Night Royal Queen''s forbidden technique.


    ''It was faint, but I can feel our bloodline''s connection.'' Yu Long thought, rubbing his chin. However, it seems Fen Juechen couldn''t remember his past life''s memory.


    "All right, everyone is here." Qin Wushang pped his hand, moving the attention to him. "Princess visited the profound pce today. She wanted to choose two disciples from the Blue Wind Profound Pce to represent the Imperial Family in the Blue Wind Ranking Tournament."


    Qin Wushang''s announcement caused whisperings in the za.


    They have heard about the legendary princess of Blue Wind Empire, and the rumor said she was cultivating in the Lost Heaven Sect for years.


    No one knew about the princess''s strength, but some guessed she was at Sky Profound Realm or above. 18-year-old Sky Profound Realm Expert, what kind of concept was that?


    On top of that, she''s also engaged to the young leader of the Lost Heaven Sect.


    Cang Yue walked onto the stage and looked at everyone with a smile on her beautiful face. Her appearance made every young man in the room gasp in surprise. Their young blood boils.


    Even Fen Juechen stared at Cang Yue with a stunned look. His once calm demeanor cracked for a second.


    ''How strong is she? I can''t tell her cultivation at all!'' However, Fen Juechan quickly realized something was weird with Cang Yue.


    ''The princess is not as simple as people thought.''


    Cang Yue stared at the disciples and said, "The Blue Wind Ranking Tournament will start in less than two weeks."


    "I''m greatly disappointed in the Blue Wind Profound Pce''s standard as only a handful of you met my standard. Barely at that."


    "So, I will make this short. I will release 5% of my cultivation base''s pressure, and your task is to keep standing. If you pass, I will grant you a chance to be Blue Wind Imperial Family''s representative."


    Everyone was speechless.


    Yu Long helplessly patted his forehead, "She''s impatient."


    "Well, this makes things more interesting." Xia Qingyue giggled on the side.


    Cang Yue didn''t wait for their response as a frightening shockwave swept the pce, stunning everyone. Dongfang Xiu, Qin Wushang, and one more elder felt Cang Yue''s pressure and couldn''t help but gasp in amazement.


    The princess has exceeded their expectations!


    "T-This is..." One disciple couldn''t handle the pressure and fainted on the spot with foaming from his mouth.


    The disciples fell one after another, leaving two people only.


    Fen Juechen gritted his teeth and released all his cultivation base. Even then, he could barely stand straight. His legs are shivering like no tomorrow.


    The other person is also a young man. He wore a blue robe and had this pained expression.


    "Well done." Cang Yue retracted back her pressure.


    "You two shall be the representatives."


    "Tell me your name."


    Fen Juechen stared at Cang Yue silently and answered, "Fen Juechen."


    The blue-robed young man trembled and said, "Sikong Du."


    Cang Yue crossed her arms and continued, "You two are too weak. For the next thirteen days, you two will undergo intense training."


    "Do you hear me?"


    "Yes, princess!" Fen Juechan and Sikong Du answered as they felt excited when Cang Yue mentioned intense training.

    --- Chapter 118 ---


    Ten dayster.


    Blue Wind Imperial Pce.


    Yu Long sipped his refreshing drinks as he watched two sweaty young men running like dogs. Their bodies were trembling as if they were at a limit already, but he could see their excited expression.


    "Poor guys." Hemented lightly.


    "You put them in the forbidden training regime I created years ago, knowing the side effects... At this point, their career as a man would be bleak."Cang Yue drank her lemonade and responded, "They are short of time, and I''m not pushing them to agree. They are the ones who agreed with the consequences of One Punch Man''s revised training."


    "One Punch Man''s revised training..." Xia Qingue mumbled to herself.


    One Punch Man''s revised training is a set of exercises that could unearth one''s potential. Yu Long created this years ago, but only a handful of people went through it sessfully.


    The exercises included 100,000 Push-ups, 100,000 Sit-Ups, 100,000 Squats, and a 1,000 KM (620 Mile) Run with a controlled diet. Every freaking day!


    The side effects of One Punch Man''s training for men are permanent hair loss, IQ loss, and rapid body aging. If the women did the training, they would also lose their hair, bodily assets(such as breasts and asses), and be constantly emotional.


    What Fen Juechen and Sikong Du currently experienced is improvised One Punch Man''s training. The hurried increase in intensity improved their physical strength and cultivation base in a tight timespan, but Yu Long also could see their hairline receding.


    Fen Juechen and Sikong Du finished their runs, falling to the ground with newfound power coursing in their bodies. They didn''t mind the side effects as long as they became stronger this fast.


    "Good, you have survived the first ten days." Cang Yuemented casually.


    "Your next task would be hunting Sky Profound Realm Beast down."


    "Eh?" Fen Juechen and Sikong Du were shocked.


    Although their strength and cultivation have increased explosively, they are only at the early stage of the Earth Profound Realm. So, telling them to hunt down a Sky Profound Beast is no different than suicide.


    Cang Yue crossed her arms, "What, don''t tell me you cannot do such a simple task?"


    "We will depart to the Heavenly Sword Vi tomorrow, so your time limit is two days. Get yourself in top condition, or you will get killed." After saying that, Cang Yue ordered some servants to drag Fen Juechen and Sikong Du for the medicinal bath.


    She wasn''t exaggerating when saying they could die.


    Yu Long smirked as he expected entertainment tomorrow. He nced at his beautiful wives and said, "Are you two nervous?"


    "You will have to fight each other soon."


    "No." Xia Qingyue tly said.


    "Yeah, me too." Cang Yue replied calmly. "I''m excited to fight Qingyue as this would show who was better."


    Thedy nced at each other, having sparks between their gazes. Yu Long grabbed their hands and continued, "No matter who wins, don''t push yourself too much."


    Xia Qingyue and Cang Yue''s gaze softened as they nodded, "Mm."


    If Fen Juechen and Sikong Du saw Cang Yue like this, they would be shocked because this is not the domineering princess they knew.


    ...


    The next day, Yu Long bade farewell to his inws.


    Cang Wanhe shook Yu Long''s hand, and Lan Shirou hugged him.


    "I hope you visit again in the future." Cang Wanhe said with a smile.


    Yu Long likewise smiled and replied, "I will. Or you could ask Mother(Lan Shirou) to bring you to the Lost Heaven Sect. My father and grandfather would be happy to meet you."


    "Yeah, that''s right." Lan Shirou nodded at Yu Long''s statement. She has known Xu Sanshan and Yu Zhan for years, and with their personality, they would get along well with her husband.


    Unfortunately, Cang Wanhe was always busy with his responsibility as the emperor.


    "We will see about that in the future..." Cang Wanhe curtly responded.


    A few secondster, a massive green-feathered bird descended from the sky andnded on the ground.


    Cang Yue hugged Lan Shirou and then Cang Wanhe, "Just wait for the good news. The Blue Wind Imperial Family won''t be the same after this."


    Cang Wanhe smiled and rubbed his daughter''s head, "Are you consoling me?"


    "That''s our ride." Yu Long said, giving his father-inw a nod.


    "Well, I will be waiting for the good news." Cang Wanhe responded with a chuckle.


    As Yu Long and othersnded on the bird''s back, he waved his hand for thest time at his inws. They waved back, watching the bird fly to the horizon.


    Lan Shirou leaned on her husband''s shoulder and said, "We might be grandparents soon."


    "And what makes you think so?" Cang Wanhe nced at his wife.


    Lan Shirouughed softly and responded, "Hehe, my intuition."


    ...


    A massive, green-feathered bird pped its wings and reached over the wilds in minutes. "Stop here." Cang Yue said.


    The bird let out a cry and nod, hovering in the air.


    Cang Yue stared at Fen Juechen and Sikong Du and ordered, "There is a Sky Profound Realm Beast below us. Defeat it within a day, and you can use any method in mind."


    "Good luck." She said, throwing them off the bird.


    Fen Juechen and Sikong Dunded heavily on the rocky mountain. They groaned and saw a massive python staring at them.


    "S-Shit!" Sikong Du cursed between his breaths.


    "Quick, let''s run!" urged Fen Juechen as he forcibly yanked Sikong Du to his feet. "We won''t stand a chance against this monstrous creature if we engage it head-on."


    Yu Long looked down in amusement and said, "Hmm, the training has unearthed some of their potential. But only in grave danger could they awaken more of it."


    Xia Qingyue crouched and added, "If they survive, that''s it."


    "Given how shallow their foundation was, fighting Sky Profound Realm Beasts is near impossible."


    "But if they survive and win, they are worth teaching."


    Hong Guan, Lily, Chu Yueli, and Chu Yuechan observed the struggling young men below them. They would like to see how they survive this whole ordeal.


    Fen Juechen and Sikong Du ran from the Sky Profound Realm Beast for half a day. They are ying hide-and-seek like mice to a cat.


    Their bodies were ''thoroughly'' riddled with injuries, but none of them had a pained look. On the contrary, they are grinning like fools andughing like madmen because they can feel their untapped potential burst open every time the Sky Profound Realm Beast attacks them.


    In theirst hour, the sun is rising to the sky.


    Fen Juechen and Sikong Du are zing with spirit, like literally with an intense me around their bodies.


    They fought the Sky Profound Realm Beast with their lives on the line, using their fist as their greatest weapons. They could feel the heat from their abdomen in thest ten minutes.


    Fen Juechen and Sikong Du stood beside each other. They stared at the massive python and clenched their fists.


    "This is it..." Sikong Du breathed heavily.


    "Yeah." Fen Juechen entered a stance.


    As the python pounced at them, Sikong Du and Fen Juechen unleashed a mighty punch with all they had. Their blood boils, their bones rupture, and their profound energy explodes simultaneously.


    BOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!


    The rocky mountain was ''violently'' swept by a destructive force. The massive python fell to the ground, losing its life.


    As for Fen Juechen and Sikong Du, they are gasping on the ground with a pale look. They also look several years older with balding hair.


    Cang Yue jumped and threw her Yang(Life) Energy at them, healing their battered bodies. "Hmm, not bad." She said with a smile.


    "Congrattions, you have passed the training."


    "I hope you''re doing wellter in the tournament and not disgrace my choices."


    "We will not let you down, princess!" Fen Juechen and Sikong Du said with difficulty. At the same time, they couldn''t conceal their happiness.


    Fen Juechen was an underdog in the Burning Heaven n. He went to the Blue Wind Profound Pce to be stronger and get his revenge on his older brother.


    With his current strength, Fen Juechen could easily wipe his older brother to the ground and wash his past humiliation!


    Sikong Du was a 37th-ranked disciple in the Blue Wind Profound Pce''s inner pce. Although he was talented, he wasn''t that talented because there were 36 people better than him. Meeting Cang Yue is like a change of fate for him.


    In short, they are grateful.


    They arrived at the back of the green-feathered bird, and Cang Yue told them to get some rest.


    ...


    A few hourster.


    Heavenly Sword Mountain Region.


    The Heavenly Sword Mountain Range was ''actually'' located within the Blue Wind Empire''s borders, but it was not under the jurisdiction of the Blue Wind Imperial Family.


    It solely belonged to the Heavenly Sword Vi. Although thend ''originally'' belonged to the Blue Wind Empire and used to be called the Heavenly Cloud Mountain Range, the Heavenly Sword Vi was imed due to their ancestor''s agreement with the Blue Wind Empire''s first emperor.


    So, the Imperial Family had pletely'' granted it to them to win them over. Thus, Heavenly Sword Vi renamed the Heavenly Cloud Mountain Range to the Heavenly Sword Mountain Range.


    The Heavenly Sword Mountain Range spanned four hundred kilometers from north to south. And four hundred fifty kilometers from east to west. Its highest peak reached several thousands of meters tall and was named the ''Summit of Cloud Piercing Sword.'' If one disregards all those short and small mountains, there are still six subsequent summits over three thousand meters tall.


    Yu Long''s group reached the Heavenly Sword Mountain Region and saw countless figures flying at a massive gate between two mountains. Since the green-feathered bird couldn''t enter the area, Yu Long ordered it to wait outside.


    They flew to the entrance gate. Lily carried Fen Juechen and Sikong Du because they couldn''t fly yet.


    "Thank you, senior." Fen Juechen and Sikong Du said to Lily.


    "It''s nothing. You will be able to do the same soon." Lily responded casually.


    Four women in snowy white robes greeted them at the gate.


    "Ah, what a coincidence."


    "It''s nice to see you again, young master." A blue-haired beauty walked to Yu Long and bowed slightly.


    Chu Yuechan narrowed her eyes andmented, "Murong Qianxue, you''re the one who led the Frozen Cloud Asgard this year?"


    Murong Qianxue nodded and replied, "Yes. I led Shui Wushuang, Wu Xuexin, and Jing Jing to the Blue Wind Ranking Tournament under the Grand Pce Mistress. Among the disciples, their cultivation base and fighting prowess are the best."


    "Should we enter together?" Yu Long chuckled.


    "We''d love to~!" The four women responded immediately. Their expression is that of maiden-in-love when talking to Yu Long.


    Yu Long''s women were used to it, but Chu Yuechen and Jasmine couldn''t help but twitch their lips. He''s too high in demand!


    The guards came and asked for their invitation.


    Hong Guan, Cang Yue, and Murong Qianxue stepped out. Three beauties make everyone around gasped in shock for a moment.


    The guard was stunned and dumbly epted the invitation.


    "These are..." The guard checked the invitation letters. "Wee to the Heavenly Sword Vi, dear guests from Lost Heaven Sect, Frozen Cloud Asgard, and Blue Wind Imperial Family."


    Murmurs echo in the area when the guards mention their factions'' names.


    The guard offered to escort them to their temporary settlement, but Yu Long and others refused. Luckily, their courtyards are near each other.


    Upon entering the Heavenly Sword Vi, Yu Long could feel the profound energy''s density was higher than the outside. He also sensed this hidden sharpness from the surrounding peaks.


    ''It seems I won''t get too bored here.'' Yu Long thought with a smile. His goal was the Heaven Basin Secret Realm, but who said he couldn''t have fun first?

    --- Chapter 121 ---


    The Blue Wind Ranking Tournament started!


    Ling Wuguo smiled in satisfaction as he saw around 1500 youths gathered here to show their sects'' best talents. Only the best out of the best in the Blue Wind Empire could enter the Blue Wind Ranking.


    However, Ling Wuguo quickly noticed a familiar-looking young man slouched over a seat with some beauties on his side. Although the seat is far back right, which means not many people pay attention to it, Ling Wuguo''s sharp eyes still catch the location, and he is shocked.


    ''What''s he doing here??'' Ling Wuguo caught a glimpse of the golden-eyed young man.


    Yes, the same golden-eyed young man who shocked the Profound Sky Continent with his monstrous talent four years ago.


    Ling Wuguo was baffled by Yu Long''s sudden appearance as he quicklymunicated with the Heavenly Sword Vi''s vi master about this matter.However, all he got from Ling Yuefeng was a passive answer.


    ''What do you mean they juste? Why didn''t anyone notify me about this?'' Ling Wuguo was speechless. Some audience members noticed his mustache and mouth twitching slightly.


    Yu Long felt Ling Wuguo''s gaze and waved his hand casually.


    Ling Wuguo awkwardly nodded at Yu Long and sighed inwardly, ''Vi Master, I''m afraid you don''t know how monstrous this fellow was.''


    "Ehem, before we start the first round. Everyone! You may join me on the main stage and test your profound strength when I call your name."


    On the main stage, there is a white tower that could read one''s bone age and cultivation realm. All the contestant needs to do is ce their hands on the altar beneath it.


    "Understand?"


    "Understood, Sir!" Collective shouts responded.


    Ling Wuguo pulled out a scroll and started calling the contestants names one after another, allowing them to join him on the main stage.


    "Flying Sword Sect, Gong Dianchen. Neen years old, 3rd Stage of Spirit Profound Realm."


    "Flying Sword Sect, Gong Mingchen. Neen years old, 4th Stage of Spirit Profound Realm."


    "Flying Sword Sect, Gong Luochen. Eighteen years old, 5th Stage of Spirit Profound Realm."


    "Water Grotto Land, Shui Bang..."


    Everyone attentively watched the main stage with great interest, but Yu Long and thedies were bored. When ites to young talents, their standards are massively different than these people.


    The Lost Heaven Sect and Shadow Realm didn''t rate their disciples or shadow agents based on their profound veins and cultivation realm.


    A high cultivation realm is impractical when your understanding of profound ways and cultivation arts is low.


    If one cannot even master profound aspects and manifest incarnation, one wouldn''t be able to climb ranks in the Lost Heaven Sect or Shadow Realm.


    "Blue Wind Empire!" Ling Wuguo called out.


    Cang Yue kissed Yu Long''s forehead and stood up, "I will be back in a minute."


    "Yeah, don''t shock them too much." Yu Long chuckled and leaned on his seatzily.


    Cang Yue smiled slightly and jumped down with Fen Juechen and Sikong Du. Their arrival caught everyone''s attention as Cang Yue''s attractive appearance piqued their interest.


    Cang Yue modeled an azure-colored dress to fit her slim figure. She also gets her wless white shoulders and ck thigh-high revealed. She styled her ck hair in a ponytail, looking heroic and beautiful.


    "T-That''s the blue wind princess. I heard a rumor that she would attend the Blue Wind Ranking Tournament as one of the contestants, but seeing her in person is definitely different than the rumor." Someone said with great interest.


    Upon knowing Cang Yue''s identity, the youths mored because Her Highness Blue Wind Empire Princess is ''widely'' rumored to have a high cultivation base.


    "You two go first." Cang Yue ordered.


    Fen Juechen walked forward and ced his hand on the altar.


    "Blue Wind Empire, Fen Juechen. Seventeen years old, 3rd Realm of the Earth Profound Realm."


    Everyone gasped upon seeing the profound-testing pir showcase Fen Juechen''s information. He wasparable to the Heavenly Sword Vi''s first young master, Ling Yun.


    However, Ling Yun is three years older than Fen Juechen.


    "Go for it." Fen Juechen said to Sikong Du and then sighed in relief. His self-torture in the past thirteen days paid off.


    Sikong Du nervously walked to the altar and ced his hand, feeling slight warmth.


    "Blue Wind Empire, Sikong Du. Twenty years old, 2nd Realm of the Earth Profound Realm."


    Looking at Sikong Du''s result, everyone is still surprised but not as surprised when Fen Juechen shows his result.


    "Princess, please." Ling Wuguo politely invited Cang Yue.


    Since the princess has such an intimate rtionship with Yu Long, she shouldn''t be an ordinary girl. That''s what Ling Wuguo thought.


    Cang Yue covered her mouth and giggled, "Don''t be nervous, Elder. I won''t do anything rash."


    She ced her hand on the altar and injected her profound energy into it, causing several arrays in the profound-testing tower to light up.


    A bright azure light burst out, shocking everyone.


    Soon, a series of letters appeared.


    "Blue Wind Empire, Cang Yue. Eighteen years old, 10th Level of Emperor Profound Realm."


    "..." Ling Wuguo and basically everyone stared at the floating letters with a gobsmacked look.


    What do you mean you won''t do anything rash? It''s abnormal!


    "18 years old..."


    "P-Peak Emperor Profound Realm!"


    Cang Yue winked at Yu Long, indicating she held back a lot. If she used her true power, the profound-testing tower would explode.


    After that, Cang Yue and two others returned to their seats.


    "What a showoff." Xia Qingyuemented on Cang Yue''s yful trick with a chuckle. "I might try it as well. The tournament would end with a fight between us anyway."


    Cang Yue rolled her eyes, "Sure, go ahead."


    Xia Qingyue put on an anticipating expression as she waited for the Lost Heaven Sect''s turn.


    The Frozen Cloud Asgard''s turn was next. The three female disciples are as beautiful as a fairy, and upon disying their talents, they be more famous.


    Although not as shocking as Cang Yue, they guaranteed to enter the top ten with their cultivation base alone and ced pressure on everyone else. It is the privilege of having a sugar daddy like Yu Long.


    Ling Wuguo called everyone but onest sect on the list. He coughed and said, "Lost Heaven Sect!"


    "It''s my turn." Xia Qingyue shed to the arena instantly. Her domineering and cold aura stunned the audience as she ced her hand on the altar.


    "Lost Heaven Sect, Xia Qingyue. Sixteen years old, 10th Level of Emperor Profound Realm."


    However, Xia Qingyue didn''t end her presentation there as her profound energy possessed a vibration effect due to her [Ocean Quake Symbols].


    The profound testing tower trembled rapidly and suddenly cracked open, leaving the people(whether disciples, elders, or the vi master) of Heavenly Sword Vi speechless.


    "..." Ling Wuguo dumbly stared at the expensive artifact of Heavenly Sword Vi, which now cracked open like split wood.


    Xia Qingyue innocently pulled her hand back and nced at Ling Wuguo, "Elder, it seems the profound-testing tower is not maintained very well."


    "What should I do? Should Ipensate for the Heavenly Sword Vi''s loss?"


    "No need!" Before Ling Wuguo could reply, the vi master(Ling Yuefeng) responded to Xia Qingyue''s question.


    Ling Yuefeng sat on his throne and continued, "Young Lady Xia, it seems the profound-testing tower is poorly maintained, as you said. Let''s put this matter aside first because we have a long tournament after this."


    Xia Qingyue blinked in surprise at Ling Yuefeng''s response, "Okay."


    Ling Yuefeng watched Xia Qingyue''s back silently and flicked his sleeve skillfully, "Continue!"


    "Hmph." Xuanyuan Yufeng sat beside Ling Yuefeng and snorted because this husband of hers didn''t want to show Heavenly Sword Vi''s wed side to others.


    Even some people noticed Ling Yuefeng''s misdirection on this matter.


    Unfortunately, Heavenly Sword Vi is weakpared to the Lost Heaven Sect, which was ''widely'' recognized as the fifth holynd.


    Xuanyuan Yufeng moved her gaze to Xia Qingyue''s seat and caught a handsome, golden-eyed young man in a loose ck coat sitting frivolously.


    ''So that''s the Lost Heaven Sect''s young leader. I have to admit he''s a very handsome fellow.'' Xuanyuan Yufeng thought to herself.


    ...


    Cough! Cough!


    Ling Wuguo cleared his throat and announced, "Okay, let''s continue to the first round of the Blue Wind Ranking Tournament."


    The arena suddenly transformed, separating itself into four equal pieces.


    Ling Wuguo activated another array, and wooden ques with the zone''s division contestant''s number flew out. The wooden quended on the contestant''s hand, which would light up when the fight between the two talents started.


    "Zone A." Cang Yue showed her wooden que to Yu Long.


    "Mine is B." Xia Qingyue curved her lips.


    "C." Fen Juechen said calmly.


    "D." Sikong Du fidgeted with his wooden que.


    Yu Longughed, "Well, good luck to all of you."

    Chapter 125: The Preliminary and Meeting the Demon King


    I have added this fanfic to my P4treon Page. You can support me and read advanced chapters there. It motivate me to write more chapters for you guys!


    Link: /NineClouds69


    --- Chapter 122 ---


    In the far back seat, Lily and other maids watched the fight between inexperienced youths in great amusement. Lily noticed a familiar-looking elder on the Heavenly Sword Vi''s side and called Yu Long.


    "Psst, young master."


    "That guy is Ling Kun." Lily implied while pointing at the humble-looking elder in a blue robe.


    Yu Long followed Lily''s finger andmented, "Hmm, he looks like a shady guy."


    "Right? Anyway, he wanted to meet me againter." Lily giggled. "Do you want me to pass a word or two to him?"


    After Cang Yue and Xia Qingyue''s shocking show of talent, Ling Kun couldn''t miss his chance to ask about their information from Lily.Yu Long thought about it for a brief moment and whispered something to Lily''s ears, causing the money-loving maid''s eyes to light up wickedly.


    "I will do as you said." Lily stepped back and stared at Ling Kun as if he was a fat cash cow.


    "Arena C, No.13 vs No.22." Ling Wuguo suddenly announced.


    Fen Juechen gave Cang Yue a nod before jumping to the Arena C and facing his opponent.


    His opponent is a 20-year-old man from a 2nd-rate sect called Beast Gouging Gate, wearing this green-red tribal outfit. He''s also at the peak of Spirit Profound Realm, putting up some fight against Fen Juechen for a few seconds and then fainting upon receiving one punch on the chin.


    It was ackluster fight.


    One thing is for sure, though. The representatives of the Burning Heaven n weren''t happy with Fen Juechen''s good performance.


    Fortunately for Fen Juechen, his shocked n member couldn''t touch him because he was part of the Blue Wind Imperial Family''s team. As long as he stayed close to Cang Yue and others, the Burning Heaven n better forget about their scheme.


    "It seems your situation is worse than I thought." Yu Longmented upon Fen Juechen''s return to his seat.


    Fen Juechen awkwardly stared at Yu Long and responded calmly, "My older brother is a piece of shit... Knowing me to grow stronger probably makes him panic."


    "But I''m not interested in the position of n leader. My goal is to be stronger and stronger."


    "Is that so?" Yu Long got what Fen Juechen implies in her replies. However, if Fen Juechen wanted to join the Lost Heaven Sect, he must show more of his worth than this.


    Fen Juechen rubbed his cheek and moved his gaze to the arena. He was thinking about how to join the Lost Heaven Sect like what Yu Long expected, but he didn''t know how.


    ''I could have asked the princess for some advice, but it''s not like we are close.'' Fen Juechen doesn''t like to suck people up, but his current situation is different.


    What he currently needs is a strong backer!


    The Blue Wind Ranking Tournament continued naturally. Yu Long and hispanions were bored, so they yed a card game while waiting for someone to get called.


    "Uno!" Xia Qingyue announced upon cing herst-second card on the table.


    Everyone stared at herst card, thinking what color it was.


    "It''s red." Cang Yue guessed as she was prohibited from using her irvoyance.


    "No, it must be yellow." Lily squinted her eyes at Xia Qingyue.


    Hong Guan stared at the twenty cards in her hand and mumbled, "How annoying..."


    Yu Long gave Hong Guan a pitiful look as the aloof-looking maid had been hit by +4 cards every turn. He yawned and ced his cards down, hiding them from thedies.


    He nced at Chu Yuechan and Chu Yueli, finding them meditating on the corner solemnly. The sun had reached its peak high, but the atmosphere was cold enough due to their chilling presence.


    Yu Long doesn''t want to say this as it doesn''t sound like apliment, but [Frozen World Arts] and [Chronicle of Frozen Worlds] are no different than air conditioners now.


    "Arena B, No.69 vs No.09."


    "Qingyue, it''s your turn." Yu Long notified her.


    Xia Qingyue nodded and swiftlynded on the stage. She didn''t even look at her opponent as Ling Wuguo started the match, and she sent out a miniature Ocean Quake Symbol.


    BOOM!


    Xia Qingyue''s opponent couldn''t even give up because the Ocean Quake Symbol blew him off the stage instantly.


    The corner of Ling Wuguo''s mouth twitched continuously. It was unfair for a peak Emperor Profound Realm Expert like Xia Qingyue to fight in the Blue Wind Ranking Tournament, yet he couldn''t do anything about it.


    They should have forwarded Cang Yue and Xia Qingyue to the final immediately. It''s just a waste of time at this point.


    However, no matter how much Ling Wuguomunicated with the vi master(Ling Yuefeng), he continued the preliminary round.


    Ling Wuguo sighed inwardly and stared at Yu Long with a confused look on his aged face. He couldn''t understand Yu Long''s intention to attend the Blue Wind Ranking Tournament.


    A young man of his power shouldn''t be interested in the fights of the weak.


    ''Unless something big caught his interest.'' Ling Wuguo thought to himself.


    Only Heaven Basin Secret Realm has such a charm for someone like Yu Long.


    As if it was something to be proud of, Ling Wuguo smiled when he realized Yu Long''s intention to visit the Heavenly Sword Vi.


    Ling Wuguo doesn''t know that Yu Long targeted more than that.


    Although Yu Long currently looks like he is ying around, he has sent some of his Kaiju to do some reconnaissance. He has already mapped the array formation of Heavenly Sword Vi and discovered some loopholes here and there.


    The Blue Wind Ranking Tournament resumed again.


    After the sun went down, only 300 remained.


    The elimination was somewhat brutal, but now the youths knew how steep and limited their views on the outside world were.


    There is a sky above the sky.


    Yu Long stretched his body slightly and nced at Xia Qingyue and Cang Yue, who dominated the preliminary. He was proud of them.


    "Let''s go back. I''m hungry." He said with a smile.


    Xia Qingyue and Cang Yue smiled back as they nodded in agreement.


    As Yu Long and hispanions left the arena, Ling Wuguo awkwardly wanted to call them but decided not to. The Heavenly Sword Vi''s elder felt rude if he called Yu Long out of nowhere.


    A young man in a white robe approached Ling Wuguo and asked, "Elder Wuguo, do you know the Lost Heaven Sect''s young leader personally?"


    Ling Wuguo chuckled at the young man''s curious question and replied bitterly, "No. We only met each other four years ago when the Lost Heaven Sect announced its appearance to the world."


    "At the time, he was only twelve and at the peak of the Earth Profound Realm."


    "Wow, so strong..." The young man in white reacted in disbelief.


    Ling Wuguo patted the young man''s shoulder andmented, "You and your brother''s talents aren''t bad. You might not be able to catch the Lost Heaven Sect''s young leader''s attention, but you will reach a higher realm than me."


    "Ling Jie understood." The young man in white nodded rapidly. He clenched his hand and vowed to show the world the might of the Heavenly Sword Vi.


    ...


    In the middle of the night, Yu Long visited the waterfall at the back of the courtyard. He cultivated [Art of Ghost] for a bit before using the Heavenly Sword Vi''s array formation for his benefit.


    He disappeared like a ghost and walked casually on the street. Weirdly, no one noticed him as if he was a real ghost.


    After a minute''s walk, Yu Long arrived at the Sword Management Terrace.


    The Sword Management Terrace is an essential area within Heavenly Sword Vi and is ''precisely'' at the upper center of the Heavenly Sword Mountain Region.


    It is several timesrger than the ranking tournament''s Sword Discourse Arena. There are tens of thousands of swords flying in the sky above the terrace. Various kinds of swords also stabbed the surface of the terrace, which was ''inherently'' filled with sharp sword energy.


    An enormous pitch-ck sword at the center of the terrace was halfway into the ground. It serves as the centerpiece of the Heaven''s Might Soul Suppression Formation.


    Oh, yeah. Heaven''s Might Soul Suppression Formation was ''purposely'' used to suppress a powerful ''Demon'' or so everyone thought. The demon in question actually looks and acts no different than a human.


    The reason these people are called demons or viewed negatively is none other than propaganda the Heavenly Sword Vi, or the Four Great Sacred Grounds, wanted to be fed to the next generations!


    Yu Long stared at the enormous pitch-ck sword and smiled, "Let''s meet the man called the Demon King, shall we?"

 Chapter 131: Tournament Arcs Final (1)

    Chapter 131: Tournament Arc''s Final (1)


    I have added this fanfic to my P4treon Page. You can support me and read advanced chapters there. It motivate me to write more chapters for you guys!


    Link: /NineClouds69


    --- Chapter 128 ---


    The final has finally started. Thirty-two youths gathered around the main arena and stared at each other solemnly, except Xia Qingyue and Cang Yue.


    After all, Xia Qingyue and Cang Yue knew the fight would end with them fighting each other.


    It will decide who is a better WIFE!


    Yes, they took the final seriously.


    So when Ling Wuguo announced the first match was between Cang Yue and a burly-looking man from the Arhat Jade Temple, the blue wind princess immediately stepped on the main stage.


    "The first match begins!" Ling Wuguo dered loudly."Xing Kong, the head disciple of the Arhat Jade Temple. Princess, please give me a chance to receive your advice!" The burly-looking man from the Arhat Jade Temple unleashed a battle cry, and his entire body turned into a greenishplexion.


    The morning sunlight reflected off his skin, giving Xing Kong a sauntering look.


    Cang Yue gazed upon Xing Kong andmented, "Hmm."


    Xing Kong is twenty years old and half-step into the Earth Profound Realm. Looking at Xing Kong''s body, Cang Yue could tell he was well-versed in body tempering.


    Unfortunately, it was a rigid type of body tempering.


    Why did Cang Yue say rigid? Well, the match will unveil it shortly.


    Cang Yue raised her finger and said, "Very well. I give you one chance to resist my attack. If you could survive it, I would admit my defeat."


    Xing Kong and others'' eyes lit up immediately, but as if a bucket of cold water dropped to their faces, they remembered Cang Yue was a peak Emperor Profound Realm Expert.


    Of course, Cang Yue would hold back her power. But could they even resist it?


    That''s just an empty dream.


    Xing Kong crossed his arms and manifested a turtle-shaped shield. He stared at Cang Yue solemnly and shouted, "Come!"


    Cang Yue smiled and stabbed her finger against the air, focusing her physical force on one point. A shockwave twirled around her and turned into a white tiger, the same one Fen Juechen unleashed yesterday.


    However, it was clear Cang Yue did it without much effort. Her white tiger also looks more menacing and detailed.


    Fen Juechen clenched his fist and mumbled, "Nine Beast Stances. I''m just a mere novice at it."


    "This is the real power of the Nine Beasts Stance..."


    Xing Kong faced the white tiger and growled, pushing his profound art to the limit. His turtle shield erged as he drove it forward.


    "Jade Turtle Defense!"


    White tiger and turtle shield shed, creating a loud explosion in the main arena.


    Xing Kong wasunched away and crashed to the empty seat at the far back, spewing a mouthful of blood. His vision bes darker in horror after facing Cang Yue''s attack.


    Xing Kong knew the Blue Wind Empire Princess was holding back because he could have died there. She''s kind enough to let him away with some muscle trauma.


    "The winner, Cang Yue from the Blue Wind Imperial Family!" Ling Wuguo said with an astounded expression. He couldn''t help but shiver earlier because of that attack, even he couldn''t think of a way to counter it.


    ''Unless I put everything on the line, I might die.'' The aged referee thought to himself.


    The final continued.


    Everyone had their matches and entered the top 16 pretty quickly.


    Xia Qingyue''s first opponent of the day just gave up.


    Fen Juechen and Sikong Du showed their improvement in the Nine Beast Stances.


    The Frozen Cloud Asgard''s youngdies also gave a spectacr performance.


    To Yu Long''s surprise, the Heavenly Sword Vi''s sessors turned out decent. Their swordsmanship might not be the best, but for their age range, they are doing great.


    Well, as expected from the Heavenly Sword Vi. The former number-one sect in the Blue Wind Ranking Tournament amassed enough resources to train their promising talents.


    Everyone was given fifteen minutes of rest before the next matches.


    Yu Long observed Ling Wuguo wandering to the Heavenly Sword Vi''s master(Ling Yuefeng) and noticed the jealous wife(Xuanyuan Yufeng) was staring at him.


    ''I hope you enjoy your stay, Young Leader Yu.''Xuanyuan Yufeng smiled and raised her cup at Yu Long.


    Yu Long was amused by her act, thinking about what kind of scheme was brewing in her head. He was actually surprised Xuanyuan Yufeng hadn''t made any move against Chu Yuechan, considering Ling Yuefeng had tried to visit the Fairy of Frozen Beauty a few times.


    Yes, a married man actually tried to visit another woman besides his wife since Yu Long and others arrived at the Heavenly Sword Vi.


    It could be a hot scandal, but Chu Yuechan told Ling Yuefeng to scram from their courtyard. The cold maid doesn''t have a single shred of interest in the Heavenly Sword Vi''s master, after all.


    Yu Long knew about this when Chu Yuechan shared her annoyance when getting taught how to wield a Heavy Swordst night.


    He rubbed his chin and smiled charmingly at Xuanyuan Yufeng, stunning the married woman for a bit.


    She was flustered and tried to hide it by covering her face with a folding fan. It was a test, and Xuanyuan Yufeng''s reaction wasn''t what Yu Long expected.


    "Huh, that''s weird..." Yu Longmented.


    "What''s weird?" Xia Qingyue tilted her head in confusion.


    Yu Long chuckled and told Xia Qingyue about his little experiment.


    Xia Qingyue gave Yu Long a weird look and said, "I mean... You''re a handsome young man, Husband. What kind of woman wouldn''t get flustered by your charming smile?"


    "Yeah, we have to agree with that." Hong Guan and others nodded at Xia Qingyue''s statement. They have been eavesdropping on them.


    "Be careful, young master. A woman like her will always be a cougar!" Lily pointed out, trying to scare Yu Long.


    Yu Long shrugged, "I have you all. Don''t worry, I won''t get tangled with that kind of woman."


    He indeed pitied Xuanyuan Yufeng''s fate, but that''s it. If she dared to make a move against any of his women, he wouldn''t let her see the sun tomorrow.


    Ling Wuguo returned to the main stage and indicated the next match would begin. And to everyone''s surprise, the fight is between Sikong Du and the Heavenly Sword Vi''s first young master, Ling Yun.


    "If you lose, don''t expect a second chance from me." Cang Yue warned coldly.


    Sikong Du trembled in horror as he was given special training because of his strong fortitude. He gritted his teeth because he couldn''t afford to lose and get his privilege revoked.


    He sucked a cold breath and felt someone patting his shoulder.


    "Calm down, and watch out for his sword." Fen Juechen gave hisrade encouragement.


    Fen Juechen wouldn''t have done this in the past, but after undergoing harsh training with Sikong Du for almost two weeks, they have developed a brotherhood.


    Sikong Du nodded and entered the main stage.


    Ling Yun also entered the main stage, adorning his white robe and sharp weapon in his hand. He looks like a master swordsman in mon'' people''s eyes.


    They faced each other, trying to probe their opponent''s secret.


    ''Vi Master, I hope your decision is wise. Or else, Ling Yun might suffer a heavy consequence.'' Ling Wuguo prayed in his mind.


    He knew manipting the matches wasn''t an honest thing to do, but the Heavenly Sword Vi also wanted to shine in the Blue Wind Ranking Tournament.


    What''s better than stepping over a rising ck horse like Sikong Du?


    "Are you two ready?" Ling Wuguo asked them out.


    "Yes/Yeah!" Ling Yun and Sikong Du responded straightforwardly.


    "Then, let''s start the match!"


    As everyone expected, this match is going to be serious.


    Ling Yun drew his sword and released his cultivation base, ring the 4th Level of Earth Profound Realm at Sikong Du.


    Sikong Du entered the stance and breathed in, drawing his profound energy into his whole body. Unlike Fen Juechen, Sikong Du used the Nine Beast Stance to be more defensive and reactive.


    Ling Yun waved his sword and shouted, "Heaven''s Might Absolute Sword."


    "First Form - Moon Break!"


    A sh of light traveled across the stage, arriving at Sikong Du''s side at breakneck speed.


    It was a swift sword strike.


    [Nine Beasts Stance - ck Tortoise]


    Sikong Du''s eyes dyed in ck light as he reacted and punched the iing sword strike.


    BAM!


    A heavy noise reverberated in the arena.


    Ling Yun frowned and saw Sikong Du''s hand bleeding.


    Yet Sikong Du still maintained a serene look.


    Sikong Du ignored his bleeding fist and taunted, "Is that all you have?"


    "Come on, let''s see which one was stronger..."


    "Your sword..."


    "Or my fist!"

    Chapter 132: Tournament Arc''s Final (2)


    I have added this fanfic to my P4treon Page. You can support me and read advanced chapters there. It motivate me to write more chapters for you guys!


    Link: /NineClouds69


    --- Chapter 129 ---


    Ling Yun opened his mouth and responded to Sikong Du''s provocation with a confident smile, "Very well. Let''s see which one of our specialties is stronger."


    Although Ling Yun said that, he knew very well how dangerous Sikong Du''s monster-like physique was. His sword is Sky Profound Realm Weapon, but it could only tear his skin.


    Sikong Du shed to Ling Yun''s side and threw a punch.


    [Nine Beasts Stance - ck Tortoise]


    A shing ck light enveloped Sikong Du''s fist as he directed his punch to Ling Yun''s head.


    BAM!Ling Yun dodged but barely made it. His right cheek was ''actually'' grazed by Sikong Du''s fist and split open slightly.


    He stepped back and made a ten-meter distance from Sikong Du.


    Ling Yun''s expression turned grave while wiping a streak of blood from his right cheek. He''s twenty years of age, just like Sikong Du.


    However, his cultivation base is higher than Sikong Du!


    ''I overestimate myself. I should have known better that the cultivation base is not absolute.'' Ling Yun cursed inwardly.


    Ling Yun and Sikong Du shed fiercely in the main arena. They inflicted wounds on each other, but those injuries were superficial.


    Countless sword lights burst out and prated the atmosphere.


    A ck-light soared and blew the sword lights away.


    CLANK! BAM! BAM!


    Sikong Du gritted his teeth and punched Ling Yun''s sword. He used Nine Beasts Stance to the limit but still couldn''t uncover the essence of ck Tortoise.


    Fen Juechen was able to use Morning White Tiger.


    Sikong Du entered an open stance with two arms beside his waist. "If he could use Morning White Tiger, I can use Dawn ck Tortoise!"


    Ling Yun''s hair stood up. He felt extreme danger from Sikong Du all of a sudden.


    "Oh?" Cang Yue looked at this scene with little interest. In her eyes, Sikong Du looks like a defensive tortoise.


    Don''t look down on his weird horse stance because it was the most stable form out of Nine Beast Stance.


    "Heaven''s Might Absolute Sword - Second Form: Sun''s Break!"


    Ling Yun stabbed his sharp sword and unleashed a golden ray, which broke through the air. His long ck hair danced wildly, giving off the feeling of a ferocious beast.


    Sikong Du drove his right arm and punched the golden ray.


    "DAWN BLACK TORTOISE!" A faint image of dawn appeared and was ''quickly'' followed by a cry of a ck tortoise.


    BOOOOOOOM!


    The Heavenly Sword Vi''s master, Ling Yuefeng, stood up from his seat and stared at the stage in disbelief. He couldn''t keep calm because his eldest son was about to lose.


    Thatst attack is too dangerous.


    Ling Yun''s shoes skidded on the main stage and released a faint smoke as he stopped on the edge. He sucked a cold breath and felt his hand trembling due to excessive counterforce.


    "This is not good." Ling Yunmented gravely. He thought about something and suddenly heard his father''s voice.


    ''Use your other sword.''


    ''But father, you know controlling two Sky Profound Swords simultaneously would exhaust my control over sword techniques.''


    ''Do it, or you will lose miserably. We cannot afford defeat, Yun''er.''


    ''No, Heavenly Sword Vi cannot afford your defeat!''


    Ling Yun wanted to refute but ultimately sighed at his ipetence. He knew the Heavenly Sword Vi''s reputation had gone downhill for quite a while, and they couldn''t do anything about it.


    The strength Heavenly Sword Vi amassed for a thousand years is nothing against the Lost Heaven Sect, which suddenly appeared four years ago.


    He tapped the ring on his finger and brought out another Sky Profound Sword.


    "Heaven''s Might Sky Sword Formation."


    Ling Yun''s swords fluttered by his movement. Countless white and golden lights moved, transforming into sharp swords.


    He pointed his sword at Sikong Du and whispered, "Heaven''s Might Absolute Sword."


    "Final Form - Radiant Sky."


    The white and golden swords merged into two gigantic swords about thirty meters long. Ling Yun''s profound energy is consumed dry, showing this will be his final attack.


    Sikong Du clenched his bleeding hand and balled it into a fist.


    He grinned as the spirit in his heart zed rapidly. His hair fell and burnt due to bursting potential.


    "I could feel power coursing through my veins." Sikong Du closed his eyes and felt every inch of his body overflowing with vitality. Unfortunately, he couldn''t admire it for too long.


    After all, two gigantic swords have descended toward him.


    "Go down!" Ling Yun roared.


    Sikong Du twisted his hip calmly and punched the iing gigantic swords.


    [Nine Beasts Stance - Dawn ck Tortoise!]


    [Barrage!]


    Sikong Du punched the air rapidly, causing the image of a ck tortoise to appear one after another. They met with the gigantic swords fearlessly.


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    It''s hard to imagine this was a fight between two Earth Profound Realms.


    "GRAAAAAAAAA!!"


    "CUUUUUUUTT!"


    BOOOOOOOOOM!!


    Ling Wuguo fortified the barrier around the main stage. His eyes widened when he saw a bloody man on the stage maintaining a horse stance.


    Meanwhile, Ling Yun kneeled on the ground and tried to support his battered body with two Sky Profound Swords. However, Ling Wuguo noticed Ling Yun had long fainted.


    "Thank you for the fight!" A sudden shoutes from the bloody man, who is none other than Sikong Du. Although his condition looked horrible, his clear eyes never wavered and stayed clear.


    "Elder, announce the result." Cang Yue''s calm voice permeated the Sword Discourse Arena.


    Ling Wuguo sighed, "The match is over. The winner is Sikong Du from the Blue Wind Imperial Family''s team!"


    Sikong Du raised his right fist and stared at Fen Juechen, showing him a row of white teeth.


    Fen Juechen smiled. He was ''actually'' inspired by Sikong Du earlier and might be able to replicate his method of breaking his limitations.


    After the fight between Ling Yun and Sikong Du, the following matches concluded without simr intensity.


    And the top 8 are decided.


    Xia Qingyue - Lost Heaven Sect.


    Cang Yue - Blue Wind Imperial Family.


    Fen Juechen - Blue Wind Imperial Family.


    Sikong Du - Blue Wind Imperial Family.


    Shui Wushuang - Frozen Cloud Asgard.


    Wu Xuexin - Frozen Cloud Asgard.


    Jing Jing - Frozen Cloud Asgard.


    And Ling Jie - Heavenly Sword Vi.


    The Blue Wind Ranking Tournament is different than thest one.


    After all, the Blue Wind Imperial Family arrived out of nowhere and dominated almost half of the top 8.


    Another rest time was ''purposely'' given to the contestant. However, they only have ten minutes to rest and recover their profound energy.


    Cang Yue fought against Wu Xuexin and proceeded to the semifinal.


    Xia Qingyue fought with Sikong Du and also proceeded to the semifinal.


    Ling Jie lost against Shui Wushuang, allowing the fairy of Frozen Cloud Asgard to enter the top 4.


    Fen Juechen won against Jing Jing, surprising everyone for a bit. After all, his opponent is quite strong. He nearly lost half of his body due to Jing Jing''s Frozen World Arts.


    ...


    In the semifinal, a fight between Shui Wushuang and Xia Qingyue started.


    "We meet again, Miss Qingyue." Shui Wushuang smiled at Xia Qingyue.


    Xia Qingyue gave her a nod and replied, "It''s only a month, but you have grown stronger than before..."


    Shui Wushuang giggled and returned, "Hehe, I must thank the young master for that."


    "Without his help, the Frozen Cloud Asgard won''t improve this much."


    "Just like any disciples of the Frozen Cloud Asgard, I admired him from the deepest part of my heart~!" She added with a yful wink.


    Shui Wushuang''s response caused an uproar in the audience as they didn''t expect the Lost Heaven Sect''s young leader to have such an intimate rtionship with Frozen Cloud Asgard.


    At the Heaven Sword Vi''s area, the vi master(Ling Yuefeng) clenched his hand instinctively when he heard Shui Wushuang''s response. Doesn''t that mean Chu Yuechan has an explicit rtionship with the Lost Heaven Sect''s young leader?


    Ling Yuefeng gazed at Chu Yuechan and mumbled with red eyes, "There is no way, right?"


    ''What a fool of a man you are, Yuefeng.'' Xuanyuan Yufeng stared at her husband and snorted at his helplessness. ''Even with me beside you, you still bore the idea of having that woman.''


    ''Futile dream. Unlike you, the Lost Heaven Sect''s young leader is a capable man. Why would Chu Yuechen choose you over him?''


    Xuanyuan Yufeng peeked to see Yu Long''s handsome face and gentle expression around his femalepanions, and she bit her lips in covetousness.


    ''If only...'' Xuanyuan Yufeng shook her head. She shouldn''t have sumbed to her dark desire.


    Back to the main stage, Xia Qingyue''s eyebrows twitched slightly.


    "Wow, you actually dare to say such a thing in front of me. You do know that I''m Yu Long''s wife, right?" Xia Qingyue crossed her arms.


    "Please, go easy on me." Shui Wushuang earnestly responded, bowing her body as if she were asking permission from Xia Qingyue.


    Xia Qingyue sternly replied, "We will see about that..."

    --- Chapter 130 ---


    Xia Qingyue and Shui Wushuang stared at each other.


    Although they are both beauties, Shui Wushuang could point out several points of herselfckingpared to Xia Qingyue. She has to admit only a woman like Xia Qingye could fit to be Yu Long''s wife.


    ''However, that doesn''t mean I will give up!'' Shui Wushuang vowed inwardly.


    She, Shui Wushuang, has a dream!


    ...


    Murong Qianxue went to the seat near Yu Long and greeted, "Hello, young master.""Everyone as well."


    "Yuechan, Yueli." She also smiled at her fellow Fairies of Frozen Cloud Asgard. "It seems you two are doing well in the past two days."


    Chu Yueli shook her head gently and responded, "Don''t get me started on how we are doing well these days. The Heaven Sword Vi''s master being an annoying cockroach was more than enough..."


    "Eh?" Murong Qianxue was speechless.


    "This, he still bothers you, Yuechan?"


    "Yes..." Chu Yuechan''s expression is as cold as ice. After replying to Murong Qianxue, she didn''t bother to say more.


    Murong Qianxue and every disciple of Frozen Cloud Asgard knew Chu Yuechan''s personality very well.


    Chu Yuechan is a woman of few words. She''s only willing to open herself up to a few people, such as her sister(Chu Yueli), her teacher(Gong Yuxian), and Yu Long.


    Her current status is different, but that doesn''t mean she could beat Heavenly Sword Vi''s master to a pulp.


    Murong Qianxue seated herself near Yu Long and asked, "What do you think about this matter, young master?"


    Yu Long nced at Murong Qianxue and smiled. "Well, I''d like to see what kind of problem theye with."


    "The Heavenly Sword Vi''s master is a coward. He has passed his prime and grown toofortable with his position."


    "If he didn''t have his wife''s support, Ling Yuefeng wouldn''t be in power for so long."


    "In short, he''s ying around with fire." Lily suddenlymented. "He has to bear a burn sooner orter."


    Yu Long chuckled andmented, "That matter aside, you brought interesting disciples to the Blue Wind Ranking Tournament. While Wu Xuexin couldn''t win against Cang Yue, she was able to exhaust her a little."


    Cang Yue stood outside the main arena and felt someone was calling her name. She turned around and waved her hand at Yu Long.


    Yu Long waved his hand back, leaving Murong Qianxue speechless.


    "Princess''s sense and intuition is extremely sharp..." Murong Qianxue''s rosy lips twitched slightly.


    "If Princess Cang Yue is already this monstrous, I don''t think Shui Wushuang would have any chance to retaliate."


    Yu Long nodded, "You''re correct, but that''s what makes it interesting."


    Murong Qianxue nced at Jing Jing and sighed because she was the youngest of the three. Losing to Fen Juechen should give her an idea of how vast the world is.


    "Jing Jing failed to show her worth to you, young master. So, If Wushuang is lucky enough andsts long against Young Lady Xia for a while, it would be the best achievement." She added solemnly.


    "Yeah." Yu Long stared at the main arena. "She might have a chance to enter the Lost Heaven Sect."


    "Really?"


    "When have I ever lied about this kind of thing?"


    "T-That''s true..."


    ...


    "The first semifinal match begins!" Ling Wuguo announced.


    [Frozen World Arts - Ice Break]


    Shui Wushuangunched her move without further ado.


    She had witnessed Xia Qingyue''s ability three months ago. This innocent-looking youngdy casually tore the Frozen Cloud Asgard''s main gate into a heap of icy dust.


    ''I couldn''t let herunch that move.''


    Extreme frost covered the main stage, cornering Xia Qingyue into a specific location.


    Xia Qingyue wanted to end this match immediately.


    To Xia Qingyue''s surprise, a thinyer of frost spread over her skin.


    She frowned and used her [Ocean Quake Symbols] to vibrate profound energy around her, pulverizing the surrounding frost into dust.


    As fine ice crystals flew everywhere, they released a blinding blue light.


    [Frozen World Arts - Cold Light]


    Blinding blue lights traveled across the air and chased after Xia Qingyue.


    Xia Qingyue snapped her finger, and the echo created extreme vibration, nullifying Shui Wushuang''s attack.


    Shui Wushuang appeared before Xia Qingyue''s eyes andunched a palm attack. However, the way she did it was more like a stabbing motion.


    Xia Qingyue blinked in awe because this attack wasn''t part of Frozen World Arts. No, to be more specific, Yu Long never made any modification rted to stabbing someone.


    It left Xia Qingyue with another possibility. Shui Wushuang came up with this move herself.


    [Frozen World Arts - Freezing Water Variation: Hand''s Sword]


    An icy blue light covered Shui Wushuang''s hand, turning it into a fine, sharp weapon.


    Xia Qingyue reacted calmly and pped Shui Wushuang''s wrist, diverting her attack away.


    Shui Wushuang''s handnded on the arena, and a massive group of ice ruptured the ground, followed by intense chill and sharpness.


    Such destruction.


    It makes one forget that Shui Wushuang is only at the 5th Level of the Earth Profound Realm. Her cultivation base is only slightly better than Fen Juechen and Ling Yun.


    Shui Wushuang gnashed her teeth and lunged toward Xia Qingyue again.


    Sheunched relentless attacks, using a variation of Frozen World Arts she developed herself. Each attack is destructive and fatal. They werepletely different from the Frozen Cloud Asgard''s sect character.


    After a few minutes, the arena is ''thoroughly'' covered with sharp ice crystals.


    Xia Qingyue countered Shui Wushuang''s attacks passively. She wanted to see how far she could go against her.


    ''Not bad. If Cang Yue had someone like Fen Juechen and Sikong Du, I don''t mind giving this girl a chance.'' Xia Qingyue thought, dismissing the coldness of Frozen World Arts.


    ''But this is not enough.''


    ''[Frozen World Arts] isn''t supposed to be used like this. The profound patterns Yu Long intended are to control and overwhelm opponents, not to attack without reserve...''


    Xia Qingyue stared at Shui Wushuang and said, "Do you still have more moves? If you don''t, I won''t entertain your hopeless wish anymore."


    "Yu Long doesn''t need weak women on his side."


    Shui Wushuang sighed and peered her gaze toward Yu Long. She bit her lips hard, and they started bleeding.


    She moved her gaze back to Xia Qingyue, "Bring it on!"


    Xia Qingyue scoffed and summoned an Ocean Quake Symbol, making the air tremble violently. She pushed her slender against the symbol and caused the world to break.


    Crack!


    Yes, the world is breaking before everyone''s eyes!


    As if the world is ss, it''s breaking upon Xia Qingyue''s seemingly gentle touch.


    Shui Wushuang''s eyes lit up in the cold light. She raised two of her fingers and pressed the air as well.


    However,pared to Xia Qingyue, it was weak, like a brittle piece of ice.


    [Frozen World Arts - Freezing Water Variation: Ultimate Ice Spear]


    The cold was ignited with Shui Wushuang''s profound energy, reaching the extreme freezing point at the tip of her fingers. It wasn''t close to Absolute Zero, but Shui Wushuang unconsciously grasped the concept of it.


    BOOM! Crack!


    Xia Qingyue blew Shui Wushuang away, forcing her to spew a mouthful of blood.


    Shui Wushuang wiped the blood from her mouth and mumbled, "I failed..."


    "Not really." Xia Qingyuemented in return. "You''re doing great for someone who hasn''t received formal teaching from us, showing your great potential."


    Shui Wushuang was stunned. "Thank you-!"


    Before Shui Wushuang could finish her words, Xia Qingyue continued speaking.


    "But potential means nothing in front of absolute power."


    "Come to our courtyard tonight." Xia Qingyue turned around and walked out of the arena.


    "Understood!" Shui Wushuang was excited.


    Cang Yue greeted Xia Qingyue with a giggle and teased, "And they call me harsh on Fen Juechen and Sikong Du."


    Xia Qingyue rolled her eyes, "Don''tpare Shui Wushuang to your little pets."


    "Sure, sure." Cang Yue shrugged casually.


    Ling Wuguo watched Shui Wushuang leave the stage and announce, "The winner, Xia Qingyue from the Lost Heaven Sect."


    "Next fight, Cang Yue and Fen Juechen."


    "I admit defeat!" Fen Juechen immediately said, shocking everyone.


    But when they thought about it, it was a wise decision.


    Cang Yue gave Fen Juechen a funny look and asked, "Are you sure you don''t want to test your strength against me?"


    Fen Juechen''s expression paled because he knew none of his attacks would affect Cang Yue. After experiencing One Punch Man''s training regime, he knew Cang Yue''s physique was that of a monster.


    "I''m well aware of my limit, princess." He tried to sound as polite as possible.


    Ling Wuguo nced at the Heavenly Sword Vi''s master and heard a series ofmands.


    He stared at Xia Qingyue and asked, "Young Lady, do you need to recover your profound energy before continuing to the final?"


    "No, let''s proceed to the final right away." Xia Qingyue responded calmly.


    "Very well." Ling Wuguo nodded in understanding. He waved his hand and activated the array under the Sword Discourse Arena, merging the main arena with other sub-arenas.


    One massive tform appeared and was ''actually''pleted with a translucent bounded field that could prevent an early-stage Tyrant Profound Realm''s attacks.


    ''This is not enough. From the pattern, these youngdies'' strength should exceed the early stage of Tyrant Profound Realm.'' Ling Wuguo solemnly thought to himself.


    "Both contestants, please enter the arena."


    Xia Qingyue and Cang Yue nced at each other, smiling a little.


    They entered the arena and made a distance, separating themselves by twenty-meter distances.


    Yu Long sat straight and said, "I hope they have a great fight."


    "That''s not something you should say to your wives, young master." Lily couldn''t help but facepalm.


    "My wives are no ordinary wives." Yu Long returned confidently. "They are going to be the empresses, if not goddesses, of the world!"


    "..." Hong Guan.


    "..." Lily.


    "..." Chu Yueli.


    "..." Chu Yuechan.


    "..." Jasmine.


    "..." Murong Qianxue.


    Ling Wuguo stepped out of the arena because he knew this fight would endanger him. He cleared his throat, "Blue Wind Ranking Tournament''s Final Match! Start!!"

    --- Chapter 131 ---


    Xia Qingyue and Cang Yue stood firmly in the arena, staring at each other vigntly.


    Everyone knew they hadn''t made any move, but they could sense roaring auras shing in the atmosphere and brewing a dangerous storm.


    Some audiences couldn''t help but swallow their salivas because the sight of two goddesses was too much to handle. Even then, they didn''t dare to blink because they would miss the fight of a century.


    Yu Long stared at the arena andmented, "Hmm, this ce will get destroyed if Qingyue and Xueruo fight seriously. I''m sure they would limit their power from killing each other, but I couldn''t say the same for others."


    "Guan, Lily, ced down a tenth-grade defensive array around the Sword Discourse Arena. You may include the sky because things will hit up the notch when they begin flying around."


    Hong Guan and Lily nodded, disappearing from their seats. They arrived at the optimal position and started creating lines upon lines of arrays to form a defensive formation.A translucent tube appeared, soaring to the sky above.


    ...


    "Here we go." Cang Yue clenched her slender hand into a fist. One could see her slim yet toned body flexing under those fabrics, giving off the feeling of an awakened beast.


    White and golden aura exploded from Cang Yue''s body, characteristic of her modified [Monarch Heart Secret Art]. It doesn''t stop there as she also brought out a three-sectioned staff.


    Xia Qingyue smiled because Cang Yue was serious about this fight. After all, the princess of Blue Wind Empire brought the treasured weapon, Dancing Snake, to fight her.


    ''Well, let''s respond with the same preparation.'' Xia Qingyue rubbed the pendant on her neck. It was the pendant Yu Long made for her four years ago.


    Silver light spat out from the pendant, crawling from her shoulders to her hands.


    As the silver light disappeared, Cang Yue and others could witness Xia Qingyue''s shoulders-! No, arms were ''finely'' covered with beautiful silver scale-like gauntlets. The gauntlet connected to her fingers'' guard, her right hand''s fingers turned into draconic blue ws, and her left hand''s fingers into fierce red talons.


    "Dragon-Phoenix Armament." Cang Yue mumbled between her breaths.


    Although Cang Yue''s Dancing Snake was ''intently'' made with artificial bone from several DNA maniptions to withstand her strength, she knew Xia Qingyue''s weapons were also simrly impressive.


    Those shoulder protections, gauntlets, and finger guards are ''purposely'' forged with Primordial Dragon God and Phoenix God''s bones. Finally, they got coated with Meru, the nugget of the star.


    Cang Yue was ''keenly'' aware that Xia Qingyue''s strength had gotten boosted after equipping herself with the Dragon-Phoenix Armament.


    Thus, Cang Yue couldn''t let Xia Qingyue prepare her [Ocean Quake Symbols].


    "I only have less than a second." Cang Yue suddenly appeared before Xia Qingyue and punched with enough power to st some mountains apart.


    Xia Qingyue giggled andmented, "Not very patient, aren''t you?"


    [Ocean Quake Symbols - Sea Tackle]


    Xia Qingyue bent her body slightly and charged with her right shoulder, shing with Cang Yue''s fist.


    Her physical strength might not be as exaggerated as the princess of Blue Wind Empire, but she has [Ocean Quake Symbols]!


    BOOOOOOM!!


    An intense shockwave washed the area.


    The defensive barrier protected everyone outside, but they couldn''t help but jump on their seats. That was a terrifying sh.


    Cang Yue''s assault doesn''t end there as she bashed Dancing Snake against the air, kicking the end of it toward Xia Qingyue.


    Xia Qingyue smacked her palm against the iing silver staff''s end and stomped her foot.


    [Ocean Quake Symbol - Rising Wave]


    A tremor spread from Xia Qingyue''s foot and exploded upward.


    Cang Yue''s body froze mid-air, allowing Xia Qingyue to make her first attack.


    [Ocean Quake Symbol - One Hundred Folds Quake]


    Layers uponyers of red symbols appeared before Xia Qingyue''s draconic blue ws, stacking against each other.


    "Good luck." She winked at Cang Yue, pressing her hand against the princess''s stomach.


    Cang Yue''s eyes twitched as a bright white light filled her vision.


    DING!


    The sound of a ringing bell reverberated in the arena.


    KABOOOOOOOOOOM!


    A cloud of dust covered the Sword Discourse Arena''s main stage and blinded everyone''s vision. Only a Sky Profound Realm or above could see that Cang Yue was ''forcibly'' blown away to the sky.


    Cang Yue gritted her teeth and cursed, "Jeez, that was more painful than I experienced a while ago. Qingyue''s mastery over her [Ocean Quake Symbols] has reached the peak of level twenty."


    "She''s one step away from level 21."


    "Take this." Xia Qingyue spread her hand and summoned over a thousand Ocean Quake Symbols. She sped her hand and smirked at Cang Yue above.


    Cang Yue felt the danger in the air and punched forward, clearing the cloud of dust away. When Cang Yue saw over a thousand Ocean Quake Symbols waiting beneath her, her mouth twitched in annoyance.


    It is one of many reasons why people don''t like fighting Xia Qingyue.


    Cang Yue blew hot air from her lungs and waved Dancing Snake around to create enough rotational force. She kicked the air and entered [Nine Beasts Stance].


    [Nine Beasts Stance - Igniting Sun Peacock]


    The air was ''literally'' ignited by Cang Yue''s sheer movement, and her Dancing Snake smacked these fireballs toward Xia Qingyue.


    Soon, the sky turned red.


    Xia Qingyue squinted her eyes, "Go!"


    Extreme tremors and intense fire force shed, decimating the arenapletely.


    Xia Qingyue stood on a caved ground and frowned, "Her physical prowess is indeed a little too terrifying."


    "This is not good. The damage I''ve done is too superficial."


    At the same time, Cang Yue also frowned.


    She couldn''t believe how strong Xia Qingyue had be over the years.


    Yes, they trained together in the Dragon God''s Trials Ground. Yet they also hid some of their trump cards away.


    Before everyone could react, Xia Qingyue kicked the ground and soared to the sky. She took the first initiative to attack.


    Cang Yue entered another stance and pointed her Dancing Snake at Xia Qingyue.


    [Nine Beasts Stance - Roc''s Chase!]


    She pushed her staff forward and created a massive golden-winged bird, which let out a piercing cry.


    Xia Qingyue stabbed her finger and pulled the manifestation of Cang Yue''s technique with her fierce talons. The air swirled, trapping the golden-winged bird toward her.


    [Ocean Quake Symbols - World Tearing]


    The tremor condensed on Xia Qingyue''s blue ws.


    As she swiped her ws against the golden-winged bird, it tore the manifestation into a bunch of air.


    But Cang Yue expected this already.


    Cang Yue arrived near Xia Qingyue, closing the distance by kicking the air rapidly.


    Xia Qingyue''s eyes widened in awe because it felt like Cang Yue was teleporting to her side. However, it was actually none other than Cang Yue''s pure speed.


    [Nine Beasts Stance - Morning White Tiger]


    [Nine Beasts Stance - Dawn ck Tortoise]


    Cang Yue hurled her fists and exchanged blows with Xia Qingyue.


    Xia Qingyue repetitively summoned her Ocean Quake Symbols and countered Cang Yue''s rapid attacks.


    They exchanged blows in the sky, triggering explosions to appear one way after another. It was a bizarre sight as bubbles of shockwave appeared in the sky.


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    The audience couldn''t see the fight because the only thing that entered their vision was the fluttering light.


    Except for the elders of the Blue Wind Empire''s Sects and higher-ups of Heavenly Sword Vi, they are currently shivering in their seats because Xia Qingyue and Cang Yue exceeded them by arge margin.


    It''s not even funny.


    Just how old are Xia Qingyue and Cang Yue?


    One is 16, and the other is 18. It means these frightening youngdies aren''t even in their second decade yet.


    Compared to them, they are no different than ancient fossils, who were one leg into the grave.


    BAM!


    Xia Qingyue and Cang Yue separated from each other.


    Xia Qingyue''s shoulders be stiff due to the excessive blows dealt by Cang Yue. Her eyes weren''t as profound as before.


    Meanwhile, Cang Yue is gritting her teeth because her body feels numb because of Xia Qingyue''s tremor. Some of her internal organs shook too horribly in this fight.


    Cang Yue stretched her neck and body a bit. White vapores off from her body, healing her injuries.


    "Yang(Life) Energy? That''s cheating!" Xia Qingyue grumbled.


    Cang Yue giggled and returned, "I don''t want to hear that from someone who could break the space fabric with little symbols."


    "Well, that should be enough warm-up."


    "We should finish this quickly."


    Xia Qingyue puffed her cheeks, "Fine."

    --- Chapter 132 ---


    "Aih, they are going to use that now..." Yu Long patted his forehead helplessly. "Aren''t they worried about the surrounding area?"


    Chu Yueli smiled andmented yfully, "Master, in the heat of a battle, sometimes you forget everything and just want to defeat your opponent."


    "Don''t worry, we have Hong Guan and Lily securing the perimeter."


    "Also, that thing would be under control as long as Xia Qingyue and Cang Yue stayed awake."


    "Don''t jinx it." Yu Long smiled wryly.


    Chu Yuechan and the otherdies were confused. What are these two talking about?Jasmine even came out of the Sky Poison Pearl''s dimension and sat on Yu Long''sp, staring at him with a questioning gaze. She was in a ghost-like state, so only he could see her.


    "Yeuli, tell them." Yu Long sighed inwardly and gestured something to Chu Yueli.


    Chu Yueli nodded in understanding and nced at Murong Qianxue, as she wasn''t part of the group yet, before saying, "You should have known about the Lost Heaven Sect''s principles, right?"


    ''Uh, some nonsense about humans, earth, and heaven?'' Jasmine couldn''t help butment. Of course, only Yu Long could hear her response.


    Yu Long flicked Jasmine''s forehead and berated, ''It''s not nonsense.''


    ''Just listen.''


    Ack!


    ''It hurts! Why did it feel so painful?'' Jasmine grudgingly red at Yu Long and rubbed her red forehead.


    ''Isn''t my soul body supposed to be ghost-like?''


    Unknown of Jasmine''s short misery, Chu Yueli kept staring at the sky and continued, "The Lost Heaven Sect''s codes aren''t just shy words. They are step by step for cultivating one''s profound way."


    "Your body."


    "Your heart."


    "And finally, your spirit."


    "When you reach the final stage, spirit, I can assure you possess the power over heaven."


    Chu Yueli felt doubtful gazes from Chu Yuechan and Murong Qianxue, giggling at their antics. "I know what I''ve said sounds like nonsense, but young master developed this path when he was seven..." She said calmly.


    "The body or human is the entry-level, where one learns about the profound patterns. The disciple is required toprehend patterns of their chosen cultivation arts."


    "The heart(mind) or earth is the rudimentary level. At this stage, one has to put profound patterns together and condense an aspect. It can be the essence of one''s cultivation technique, element, or sharpness like a sword."


    Chu Yueli pointed at Xia Qingyue and Cang Yue above and yfullymented, "The final stage is spirit or heaven."


    "At this stage, the Lost Heaven Sect would provide the disciple who haspleted the first two stages with a secret power. A profound aspect that could unearth one''s will bybining it with one''s unique, profound patterns and aspects."


    "The umtion of the power over heaven. We call it Profound Incarnation!"


    "Look above you and witness the forbidden fruit of the young master''s genius mind." A grin stered over Chu Yueli''s face.


    Xia Qingyue and Cang Yue''s fight will be the first showcase of profound incarnations to the public''s eyes.


    ...


    Xia Qingyue raised her hand, and another hand with a palerplexion appeared out of thin air and grasped it. A white royal robe was ''suddenly'' ced down upon Xia Qingyue''s shoulders, and a crown with nine plumes appeared above her head.


    Only a handful of people could see this phenomenon, but a ghost-like figure hovered above Xia Qingyue.


    It was a white-haired woman with a paleplexion and a veil over her face, wearing a corset that wrapped her graceful figure as she handed her royal robe and crown to Xia Qingyue a moment ago.


    The most noticeable feature about the pale woman is that nine kinds of wings(bat, butterfly, feathered, and six others) fluttered behind her back.


    On the other hand, Cang Yue also summoned something and transformed herself. As she raised both arms, a storm of white feathers surrounded her.


    A bronze-skinned woman with golden hair slowly manifested behind Cang Yue. The woman is over 8 feet with toned yet strong muscles that are seemingly sculpted to perfection, wearing a greenish-red tribal-looking armor and kilt.


    The most eye-catching part about this woman is none other than her blindfolded eyes, ox-like ears, and two pairs of curved horns.


    After manifesting this woman fully, Cang Yue also gained curved horns atop her head, and her hair turned golden.


    Xia Qingyue and Cang Yue''s manifestations red at each other, fighting for dominion.


    [Ocean Quake Symbols - Domain Expansion: Everwhite Motionless Universe]


    [Monarch Heart Secret Art - Domain Expansion: Golden Battlefield of Braves]


    They summoned their domains and shed with flickering lightning in the sky.


    Xia Qingyue''s domain is that of an ethereal world, pure white that seemingly erased everything.


    Meanwhile, Cang Yue''s domain is brimming with fighting spirit and endless vigor.


    "Go!" Xia Qingyue and Cang Yue said at the same time.


    Their profound incarnations flew toward each other and began attacking fiercely, causing the fabric space to get ripped apart continuously.


    Xia Qingyue arrived before Cang Yue''s eyes and stabbed her finger coated with a continental-magnitude tremor.


    Cang Yue evaded, as if she could see the future, andunched a swift kick.


    Crack! BAM!


    They couldn''t hit their target, but the surrounding was still affected.


    One attack tore the space.


    And another one blew the space.


    Thunderclouds brewed in the sky, flickering with white lightning.


    "Ox''s Thunder st!" The 8-foot-tall Amazon let out a battle cry.


    SWOOOSH!


    White lightning descended from the sky.


    The veiled empress pointed her pale finger at the iing lightning and mumbled something. The space is distorted and followed by the sound of breaking ss.


    Crack!


    "Keep going!" Cang Yue grinned and punched the air relentlessly.


    [Nine Beasts Stance - Jade Crocodile Fang]


    A green crocodile appeared and bit Xia Qingyue''s shoulder.


    BAM!


    Xia Qingyue retreated and nced at her left shoulder, seeing her royal robe torn slightly. She huffed andmented, "What a pervert. Even a hundredfold tremor couldn''t take that attack."


    If they weren''t in such a confined space, Xia Qingyue would have put Cang Yue in a disadvantageous position several times. Not to mention, Cang Yue''s irvoyance is such a cheat-like ability.


    However, it doesn''t mean Xia Qingyue would lose.


    Xia Qingyue brushed her shoulder and focused on Cang Yue, "I was nning to surprise Yu Long with this, but the situation forced me to unravel this earlier."


    "Why act all mysterious? Bring it on!" Cang Yue countered while raising her fists.


    Xia Qingyue''s pupil gained a silver circle. The world suddenly shook, creating these weird white waves around Xia Qingyue''s arm.


    Cang Yue''s eyes widened as she cursed, "Damn, level 21. You actually reached it..."


    "This is only temporary." Xia Qingyue giggled in response.


    "But it''s more than enough to ensure my victory."


    Without further ado, Xia Qingyue made her move.


    Like a stone thrown into a calmke, a ripple appears. Xia Qingyue skipped through time and space, catching Cang Yue off guard.


    Cang Yue''s eyes widened as a fair hand made contact with her chest, inflicting immense damage to her trained body.


    BAM!


    Cough!


    Cang Yue spewed a mouthful of blood.


    Xia Qingyue has broken through her defense!


    Cang Yue was blown away and crashed against the barrier, groaning in pain because such strongly umted tremors invaded her body.


    She gritted her teeth and used Yang(Life) Energy to counter this destruction, healing her body rapidly.


    But how could Xia Qingyue let her do so?


    Xia Qingyue chased after Cang Yue and kept adding injury after injury, putting Cang Yue in a horrible position.


    Cang Yue breathed in, trying to calm herself. She watched Xia Qingyue appear out of nowhere again and slowly raised her left hand in response.


    Xia Qingyue pushed her palm forward, generating yet another space-cracking attack.


    Cang Yue''s left hand punched the iing tremor and sessfully nullified it. She jerked her body upward, kicking Xia Qingyue''s leg.


    Xia Qingyue dodged gracefully and pressed her palm against Cang Yue''s chest. "This is my victory, Cang Yue. I''m Yu Long''s number-one wife!"


    BOOOOOOOOM!!


    Tremor passed through Cang Yue''s body, blowing the back of her dress and exposing her now-red skin. She let out a painful groan and retreated a few meters from Xia Qingyue.


    They called their profound incarnations back.


    Cang Yue breathed wearily and felt her eyelid be heavier. Still, she couldn''t faint yet.


    "Her domain is bing stronger with every breath I take." Cang Yue gazed ahead, watching Xia Qingyue descend like the goddess she was.


    A self-mocking smirk appeared on Cang Yue''s beautiful face because the future of her victory didn''t look so bright. The Merging Realm is ridiculous, and no wonder Yu Long told them to take it easy.


    "Let''s finish this in one attack..." Cang Yue said with a sly expression.


    Xia Qingyue narrowed her eyes and responded, "Sure."


    Cang Yue closed her eyes and pulled her arm back, gathering Yang(Light) Energy in her fist.


    Xia Qingyue snapped her fingers, and countless Ocean Quake Symbols were ''neatly'' stacked above her free palm. However,pared to all her previous attacks, one symbol of these possessed [One Hundred Fold Quake].


    Now imagine how strong the attack will be.


    [Nine Beasts Stance x Monarch Heart Secret Art - Heaven''s Beast Subduing Roar]


    [Ocean Quake Symbols - Void Tremor]


    Cang Yue and her profound incarnation stepped on the thin air, unleashing one focused punch.


    A row of teeth from a mighty beast like a golden-furred Boar appeared and charged toward Xia Qingyue.


    Xia Qingyue and her profound incarnation stretched their palms, breaking the space with their tremor and creating a void that devoured everything.


    Two attack


    BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!


    The Boar tackled the void, giving Xia Qingyue a surprise.


    "This¡­ She concentrated her Yang(Light) energy and inverted the space around it." Xia Qingyue''s eyes widened in shock.


    "Cang Yue, you... You''re also close to level 21."


    "Take her down, Heaven''s Beast!" Cang Yue roared, bleeding from all her orifices.


    ROOOOOOOOOOOARR!!


    The Boar let out a roar and tackled Xia Qingyue.


    Cough!


    Xia Qingyue spewed a mouthful of blood this time and crashed against the barrier, breaking it upon contact. She stopped after flying one hundred meters away, leaving a trail of me in the sky.


    She was trying her best not to fall, watching Cang Yue grin at her while lifting her bloody fist.


    After that, Cang Yuended on the stage and fainted.


    Xia Qingyue bit her lips in disbelief and flew to the Sword Discourse Arena''s main stage, checking Cang Yue''s condition. After making sure her sister-wife was okay, she sighed in relief.


    "The winner, Xia Qingyue from the Lost Heaven Sect!" Ling Wuguo suddenly dered, causing everyone to stand up.


    They mored over Xia Qingyue''s victory.


    Xia Qingyue looked around and spotted Yu Long giving her apuse. She grinned and gave him a victory sign, "I won."


    Yu Long smiled back helplessly. His wives have frightened him one way after another in this battle, and they surpassed his expectations.


    Xia Qingyue supported Cang Yue and brought her to the seat.


    Everyone sucked a cold breath and felt that match was the fight of the millennia. No one could surpass Xia Qingyue and Cang Yue for a long time!


    Ling Wuguo continued the event and asked Fen Juechen and Shui Wushuang to determine the third ce. But knowing their fight would spoil the mood of the Blue Wind Ranking Tournament, Fen Juechen forfeited and gave Shui Wushuang third ce.


    And with that, the Blue Wind Ranking Tournament finally ends.


    Tomorrow will be the event to see the demon for the top ten contestants and the opening of the Heaven Basin Secret Realm!


    ...


    Everyone returned to their courtyards, wanting to spread a fight between Xia Qingyue and Cang Yue to the whole Profound Sky Continent.


    Their names and legends would resound throughout the future, giving the next generation a new sky to look up to.


    At night, the 1st courtyard where Yu Long and others stayed filled with a painful groan.


    In Yu Long''s bedroom.


    "Yu Long, it hurts~!"


    "Qingyue is so cruel... How could she beat me so badly~!" Cang Yueined, lying her head on Yu Long''sp. She was getting pampered after getting injured in the final fight.


    "You know that I''m here, right?" Xia Qingyue sat on the side, her mouth twitching at Cang Yue''s shamelessness.


    Now Xia Qingyue understood the meaning of Cang Yue''s yful expression before thatst attack.


    The princess of Blue Wind Empire might lose the fight, but not the war.


    Yu Long chuckled and applied medicine to Cang Yue''s hand, feeling the roughness after unleashing thatst punch. "Don''t be like that. Qingyue is trying her best to win, just like you, Xueruo."


    "Even then, you two shocked me today."


    "I''m proud of you." Yu Long stared at his wives gently.


    Xia Qingyue and Cang Yue felt their hearts skip a beat. Those golden eyes of his are so attractive and heartwarming.


    Yu Long smiled and added, "I will give you a favor each. And since Qingyue won the tournament, she will get two instead."


    "What do you want?"


    "Do we really get a favor over anything?" Xia Qingyue raised her hand.


    "Yes, as long as it''s within my limit." Yu Long nodded calmly.


    Xia Qingyue and Cang Yue nced at each other, giggling in anticipation.


    "Then, we want..."

    Chapter 136: Ambush, and the Fairy Queen Fran


    I have added this fanfic to my P4treon Page. You can support me and read advanced chapters there. It motivate me to write more chapters for you guys!


    Link: /NineClouds69


    --- Chapter 133 ---


    The night after the Blue Wind Ranking Tournament''s final, Yu Long blew white smoke from his body. He nced at the sleeping Xia Qingyue and Cang Yue, covering their graceful bodies with nkets.


    He chuckled and kissed their foreheads, "Aih, I didn''t expect my wives to be so silly and smart."


    When Yu Long gave Xia Qingyue and Cang Yue favors for performing well in the final, he expected them to ask for something more materialistic.


    But he would never expect them to ask for their own Kaiju!


    It is indeed a favor Yu Long could fulfill because he was the only Kaiju Maker. Unfortunately, he needed to wait for at least half a year before he could make suitable ones for them.


    The reason is that the ''Primordial Energy'' he could gather and use is limited. The portion he currently had is ''literally'' nned to create the Ancestral God''s new body."Oh, well... I can''t say no to my wives." Yu Long smiled slightly. He also wasn''t a man who would go back on his promise.


    Likewise, he has already thought of a method to increase his Primordial Core''s recovery speed for a while now.


    Yu Long stretched and grabbed his coat on the stool nearby. He walked out for fresh air and saw Chu Yuechan in the garden again, swinging the Song of Broken Pine with more finesse and control.


    It seems Yu Long''ste-night session with Chu Yuechan bore a result.


    "Yuechan, follow me." Yu Long called her out.


    The aloof woman yelped and suddenly stumbled when she heard her name called by a familiar voice. The heavy sword in her hands became uncontroble, stabbing the ground with a loud thud.


    Dirt and rock sttered everywhere as she quickly fell on mud.


    Of course, as a gentleman, Yu Long shed to the garden and caught Chu Yuechan''s body.


    Yu Long could feel the softness of Chu Yuechan''s twin mountains. Her scent also smells good.


    Chu Yuechan blushed bashfully. She screamed inwardly, hoping she could go back in time and bury her face in a hole.


    That was such an embarrassing sight of her.


    Yu Long ced Chu Yuechan back on her foot, and she brushed her blue-white dress to make it more presentable. She couldn''t look shabby before her young master.


    "Um, do you need something from me, young master?" Chu Yuechan asked while staring at Yu Long.


    Yu Long smiled and replied, "Well, yes."


    "Before that, get the Song of the Broken Pine and follow me."


    Chu Yuechan nodded and followed Yu Long outside the courtyard. They went to the waterfall nearby, catching the attention of somedies who were still awake.


    "Are you sure it''s okay to leave the young master with the new maid?" Lily leaned on the courtyard''s wall, gazing at Hong Guan on the rock, who calmly sipped her warm tea.


    Hong Guan nced at Lily and responded calmly, "I''m not too concerned about my position in the young master''s harem. As long as I have a dear spot in his heart, it''s more than enough."


    "Also, you should call her Yuechan. She is, after all, Yueli''s older sister."


    "Don''t be like that, Lily. Please give my sister a chance." Chu Yueli sat on the wall, winking her eyes at Lily. "Young Master deserves all the beauty in the world, but only a few could catch his attention."


    "Don''t you think this is rare?"


    Lily''s mouth twitched slightly, "Sure..."


    Sometimes, Lily doesn''t understand how love is considered a sickness, but now she does.


    ''Love, huh?'' Lily''s feelings for Yu Long are somewhatplicated.


    She loves him, but something inside her prevents her from expressing it coyly like her fellow maids. Maybe it is because she couldn''t erase her image as Yu Long''s maid nor rece it with a lover status.


    ...


    ''Hmm, where are we going?'' Jasmine noticed a movement outside the Sky Poison Pearl''s dimension.


    After watching Yu Long do unspeakable things with Xia Qingyue and Cang Yue again, Jasmine is knocked out of rising blood and wakes in a daze.


    She slowly peeked outside, seeing Yu Long and Chu Yuechan go to the waterfall.


    Yu Long smiled but didn''t say anything.


    They arrived at the waterfall, and Yu Long began to activate [Art of Ghost], conjuring Yin(Dark) Energy in the atmosphere for his use.


    Jasmine slightly frowned because she learned that Yu Long could wield the Devil''s profound power, Yin(Dark) Energy. Still, even after nearly three months, Jasmine couldn''t get used to it.


    The presence of Dark(Yin) Energy is too ominous!


    On top of that, the [Art of Ghost] makes Yu Long''s aura more ghostly and depraved for some reason. He also doesn''t feel like a human anymore, but the Ghost Emperor, overseeing lost souls in the passage of life.


    His ck hair was blown by the night breeze, fluttering gently. But those golden eyes shone with ghostly purple light.


    Chu Yuechan sensed Yu Long''s transformation, and her body shivered slightly. The current Yu Long looks very attractive for some reason, and those ghostly golden eyes captivated her heart and soul.


    She doesn''t know that even though Frozen World Arts was ''strictly'' made based on [Water and Ice Elements], it was ''deeply'' tied with Yin(Dark) Element. After all, Yang is the opposite of Yin.


    Yu Long gazed into the distance and frowned because Yume should have returned a while ago. He was trying to contact her through their link, but there was an interference.


    All he knew was that Yume was still alive.


    "Yuechan, stay close with me." Yu Long suddenly warned as he sensed a fluctuation in the space.


    The same goes with Jasmine. Her eyes narrowed because the fabric space around Yu Long became more rigid for no reason.


    The level of rigidness is simr to that of a Divine Realm, which makes Spatial Maniption harder to do.


    Swoosh!


    A tree root appeared out of nowhere andunched itself toward Chu Yuechan.


    Chu Yuechan couldn''t react in time, and herplexion became pale as a sheer paper. It was simply too fast.


    ''Am I about to die?'' Chu Yuechan''s life shed before her eyes.


    BAM!


    Jasmine blinked in disbelief. She watched Yu Long''s hand blur and caught the root single-handedly.


    Yu Long''s expression bes colder, "You dare to attack my maid when I''m still here?"


    "Are you looking down on me?" Ghostly Qi spread from Yu Long''s arm and sucked the life of the root, causing it to wither at an rming pace. He added strength into his grip and turned the root into ck ashes.


    The rigid space trembled, overwhelmed by the sheer power of Yu Long''s presence.


    Yu Long flicked his finger and caused the space to ripple violently, breaking like a broken ss.


    If Xia Qingyue were here, she would be shocked at how casually Yu Long achieved such a profound control over tremor(quake). Of course, while Yu Long did it so casually, his tremor actually couldn''t oust Xia Qingyue''s.


    He used [Tremor(Quake) Aspect] and tore the space forcibly, allowing him to witness whounched that root.


    ''Yu Long, be careful. Whoever is behind this must have a reason to provoke you.'' Jasmine warned Yu Long.


    Yu Long nodded in agreement but decided to enter the uncharted territory anyway.


    He wasn''t afraid and grasped Chu Yuechan''s hand, bringing her into another space. They arrived above the clouds and saw a floating ind hover.


    The weird thing is that the whole ind is ''thoroughly'' covered with countless roots and only one massive, ancient tree.


    Yu Long spread his Profound Sense and even used Insect King''s Vision, spotting a familiar youngdy in a bodysuit tangled by thick roots.


    ''Yume, can you hear me?'' He tried to call her name.


    Yume''s eyes fluttered, and she weakly responded, ''M-My lord?''


    ''I''m sorry... I''m too weak.''


    ''The one who caused this disturbance and caught me is Kaiju.''


    ''She''s using me to lure you out.''


    Yu Long breathed in and stared at the floating ind, trying to remember what kind of Kaiju possessed this power. The space parted above the floating ind, revealing a youngdy in a pure white dress.


    She has fair skin, greenish-golden hair, silver eyes, and long ears.


    Yu Long grimaced as he recognized this youngdy''s characteristics. She might have changed her appearance, but those long ears and silver eyes give it away immediately.


    "What''s the meaning of this..." Yu Long''s cold voice permeated the area.


    The youngdy in a pure white dress tilted her head and gazed at Yu Long, "It''s true. You have really reincarnated, my dear master."


    "But you seem not too surprised to see me?"


    "There is only one Kaiju who could control nature at such a level... You didn''t die after thatst moment but from the look of it. Your Essence Sphere is greatly damaged, right?" Yu Long said calmly. "You attached yourself to another host, giving her and you a second chance at life."


    "Am I right? Fairy Queen, Fran."

    Chapter 137: Metamorphosis

    --- Chapter 134 ---


    "Am I right?"


    "The Fairy Queen, Fran." Yu Long''s sarcastic voice echoed in the field.


    The youngdy in a pure white dress was ''momentarily'' stunned by Yu Long''s remark. A sweet smile bloomed on her beautiful face.


    "As expected of my dear master, you can tell my real identity at first nce."


    Yu Long gazed at Fran calmly, recalling his past life''s memory.


    The Fairy Queen, Fran, was an S+ Kaiju made from a mutated treant and evolved as she apanied his journey to wipe the mutated beast from the face of the earth.Her control over nature is considered top-notch, overwhelming all awakened ones besides a handful of experts.


    However, the true horror of Fran''s abilities is called Overgrow.


    Overgrow allowed the Fairy Queen Fran to mutate any nt-based or flora life she touched, evolving theirtent potential. For example, the floating ind in front of Yu Long should be a tree that gained control over gravity.


    On top of that, the flora will overgrow and be terrifying mutated beasts themselves.


    While Yu Long''s previous life doesn''t have profound energy, legacy, gods, and devils, they have countless mutated beasts with illogical abilities and can be considered godlike. And Fran surpassed those mutated beasts, staying on Yu Long until the end.


    Now, the Fairy Queen Fran returned with a new host, maybe stronger than her previous self. Or weaker, considering the situation of her Essence Sphere.


    ''But this confirmed that my Kaiju could survive the Cosmic Wave and follow me into the Primal Chaos.'' Yu Long thought to himself.


    Well, he wasn''t too happy about this news.


    After all, a Kaiju like Pandora was roaming free out there.


    Yu Long calmed down and said, "What are you doing here, Fran? I know your appearance means something."


    "You even attacked my new and precious Kaiju."


    Fran looked surprised before giggling, "Oh, no wonder this little butterfly could injure me so much. At first, I thought she was another Kaiju who survived the Cosmic Wave and possessed another host like me."


    "I noticed her Essence Sphere is way too pure. It was amazing as I''ve never seen something like this before."


    "Answer me..." Yu Long''s voice bes even colder.


    Fran''s body instinctively twitched as irresistiblepulsion washed over her head. It was a familiar feeling she hadn''t felt for sixteen years.


    ''Ah, I knew it... My dear master, he hasn''t changed at all.'' Fran''s cheeks gained rosiness. Her body warmed up, feeling wistful for some reason.


    She gazed at Yu Long''s menacing golden eyes and gulped in fear, "Mm, don''t get me wrong... I was roaming on the corner of the Primal Chaos when I sensed a familiar presence."


    "I didn''t expect to meet you here."


    "This is purely coincidence. A good one, that is."


    "Stop it. Do you think I would believe your nonsense?" Yu Long sneered, making Fran''s expression twist into a smirk.


    Fran covered her smirk with her hand and returned, "Oh, my. How could you say something like that, master? Am I not one of your creations?"


    ''Creation?'' Jasmine blinked her eyes in shock.


    Jasmine gazed at Yu Long and wanted to know more, but she was stunned when she saw his indifferent expression. She felt he was apletely different person than the Yu Long she knew.


    Yu Long sighed and brushed his hair back, "I will count three to one. If you are still ying around with me, I will beat you up."


    Fran nervously stepped back, "That''s not funny, master. You shouldn''t say something like that to ady."


    "Three." Yu Long started counting down.


    "I don''t want to fight you, master. Even though I''m not 100% your Kaiju anymore, there is still between us, no?"


    "Two." Yu Long''s ck hair fluttered in the breeze.


    Before Fran could negotiate even more, Yu Long arrived beside the Fairy Queen and gave her fair face a fistful of punches.


    Chu Yuechan and Jasmine flinched, causing their cheeks to heat up at this sight. They didn''t feel bad for Fran but were somewhat jealous instead.


    ''What am I even thinking?'' Chu Yuechan and Jasmine shook their heads in embarrassment. They didn''t expect seeing Yu Long abuse someone to awaken something in them.


    BOOM!


    A sonic boom permeated the sealed sky, and Fran got blown away like a broken kite.


    "One." Yu Long blew off dirty air from his lungs and felt the gravity rapidly increasing around him.


    Fran floated in the sky, pping wings made of grass. She rubbed her cheek and pouted, "That hurts!"


    "Master, you''re cruel!"


    Yu Long shrugged off the gravity as it was too weak to restrict his movement and shed to Fran''s side again.


    Fran popped several seeds from her sleeve and flipped them off, creating these green fireworks. Yellow smoke exploded and covered the area with a potent poison.


    Yu Long passed through the yellow smoke and choked Fran''s fair neck, lifting her with ease. "It''s over, Fran. Tell me your real intention foring here."


    "Cough! Wow, I missed the way you choked me." Fran longingly felt Yu Long''s strong hand gripping her neck.


    "But I''m afraid I can''t tell you anything if this was the limit of your current power, master."


    "The Primal Chaos isn''t as simple as you thought."


    "Are you going to say it or not?" Yu Long emotionlessly said.


    Fran closed her silver eyes, and her body exploded into a thousand flower petals, dispersing from Yu Long''s grasp. She appeared at the top of the floating ind and gazed at Yu Long silently.


    She rubbed her sore neck and murmured, "Show me your full power, master..."


    "If not, you cannot protect your loved ones again."


    "Hehe~! Senior, you will get your ass beaten." Yume suddenlymented on Fran''s silliness. She might be trapped, but her mouth is still open.


    Fran narrowed her eyes and threatened, "Little Butterfly, maybe I should tighten your bind."


    Yumeughed cheerfully and continued, "I don''t know much about My Lord''s past self, but I guarantee you the current him is a hot-blooded young man who is quite impatient."


    ''Especially if his opponent was annoying.'' Yume didn''t voice that, but she could see Fran was ''inwardly'' shaken.


    Fran waved her hand and controlled the floating ind, creating a dome with countless thick vines. She watched Yu Long far ahead, seeing his aura change abruptly.


    A ghostly image appears behind Yu Long, overshadowing her and the floating ind. It was a grim reaper with a long ck scythe and a scary sharp-toothed filled white mask.


    Fran''s heart skipped a beat as she sensed imminent danger ahead.


    She clenched her hand and felt her hair standing up. The feeling of death is not something one wants to feel.


    Yu Long grasped the air with his empty left hand and twisted it around, creating a spear out of Yin(Darkness) Energy.


    "T-That is..." Fran''s eyes dted. "Devil''s power, how could a master wield the devil''s power?! I thought they were extinct."


    "Don''t tell me the Kaiju Maker has recovered its full strength and could manipte even a trace of existence into a real thing."


    "Master, you''re ridiculous as always." Fran clenched her hand. She could have admitted her defeat here and now but wants to see more of Yu Long''s current power.


    Yes, until she was confident he could surpass his past self.


    Yu Long pointed his spear at Fran and released a sharp purple light. The light traveled in the atmosphere and pierced through the vine''s dome, shredding them apart.


    Fran felt her world get rocked upside down. Her vision was overwhelmed with a sharp light, feeling every bit of her skin pricked by ominous energy.


    She saw Yu Long teleported before her very eyes and casually stabbed her in the chest. It doesn''t just pierce her host''s heart but also seals her Essence Sphere.


    She was speechless, puking a mouthful of blood.


    "How? What happened?" She asked in confusion.


    Fran knew she wasn''t weak. Yu Long is just too damn strong!


    "This is my Profound Art, [Art of Ghost]." Yu Long answered casually.


    "Upon reaching a greater stage of a profound way, I can overwhelm the fabric of reality around me and usher darkness as the Emperor of all Ghosts."


    "You looked down on me too much, Fran."


    "Do you think I''m just your good old master? No, I also have experienced a metamorphosis thanks to this world''s influence, but you don''t." After saying this, Fran could see countless images of creatures roaring behind Yu Long.


    He shook the spear and added, "Your host is dying. She couldn''t handle the power of the Essence Sphere."


    Fran stared at Yu Long dumbly and thenughed, "Pfft-! Hahaha~!"


    "As expected of my dear master, you also could tell I was in bad shape."


    "You''re right. My host-! No, we are dying."


    "She''s just a weakdy on the verge of death that I luckily encountered when arriving in this world. She apanied me for years, but maybe this is the time to say goodbye."


    Fran wiped the blood from her mouth and continued, "You want to know the reason why I''m here? Sure, I will tell you. I''m dying and in a dire situation to fix my cracked Essence Sphere."


    "But it''s not just that. I''ve offended one of our pastrades, and he''s chasing me to this low-star. If you''re too weak, I will run away and give you more time to grow, but it seems my efforts weren''t needed."


    Yu Long furrowed his brow, "Who is it?"


    "I... Can you get this spear away first?" Fran painfully winked at Yu Long.


    "I know you can handle this little pain." Yu Long''s lips curved slightly.


    Franined inwardly because her master had be more evil in his third life. Ultimately, she could only resign to her fate.


    "It''s Duhan!"


    "The Death Knight ising here to kill me."


    "Just what have you done to anger him?" Yu Long couldn''t help but marvel at Fran''s reply. From all of the Kaiju he made in the past, the Death Knight Duhan won''t attack if one doesn''t provoke it.


    Fran caressed her neck and replied, "I, how to say it... I wanted to borrow some nk essence spheres(since they are limited in the Divine Realm) from him."


    "I need them to heal my Essence Sphere."


    "So, you steal those essence spheres?"


    "Steal is a strong word... I''m just borrowing them without permission."


    "..." Yu Long.

    --- Chapter 135 ---


    After a brief encounter with Fran, Yu Long and Chu Yuechan went to the Heavenly Sword Vi. Yume the Butterfly Kaiju has returned to the Kaiju''s Inner World, recovering her strength and energy.


    Of course, the Fairy Queen followed them back.


    ''Yu Long, don''t you think this princess deserves some exnation about this situation?'' Jasmine suddenly voiced her thoughts.


    Yu Long halted his step on the running water and nced at Fran, who innocently smiled at him. He also wanted to exin a few things to Jasmine, but this wasn''t the time.


    ''Not now, Jasmine. Go to sleep, or you won''t grow bigger.'' Yu Long tried to trick her.


    Jasmine frowned and said, ''Fine, if you don''t want to answer my question, then forget it. I don''t care about your stupid problem anyway.'' After that, Jasmine threw herself on the bed and covered herself in a thick nket.Yu Long groaned helplessly and felt Chu Yuechan''s gaze on his back. He shook his head and uttered, "If you want to say something, then say it, Yuechan."


    "I..." Chu Yuechan hesitated for a second. "The strength you used at thatst attack, how long until it take for you to reach such a realm?"


    "Oh, that? It took me nine years of research and cultivation to bring [Art of Ghost] to its current potential." Yu Long gave Chu Yuechan a small smile.


    "Still, aren''t you curious about my rtionship with this irritating fellow?"


    "Hey!" Franined immediately.


    Chu Yuechan fumbled with her fingers and answered, "Nine years. That''s quite long."


    "I don''t know how fast I can catch up to you, young master... But I will try my best not to disappoint you."


    "As for your question. I''m not a person who would snuff around other''s problems unless you''d like me to know about it. Not to mention, I''m just your maid." She recalled her helplessness when facing that tree root''s ambush and added in a somewhat self-deprecating manner.


    ''What a low self-esteem she has. Well, she must havepared herself with my master, poor girl.'' Fran thought to herself.


    Girl, you''re the cause of it.


    Yu Long sighed, "Don''t sell yourself short. You''re a talented woman with a spirit to climb higher. Compared to you, Lily would be lucky enough if she could maintain her current progress as she has been cking off."


    "I see..." Chu Yuechan mumbled.


    "Get some rest. Tomorrow will be a long day." Yu Long patted Chu Yuechan''s shoulder and made her cheeks flush slightly.


    "Also, take this. I was nning to teach you a Sword Technique, but you know someone ruined the moment."


    "Just say it''s me!" Fran rolled her eyes.


    Chu Yuechan received a modified version of [Heavenly Wolf God''s Series] and blinked in awe. Such a profound art about heavy swords actually exists in this world.


    If Chu Yuechan knew Yu Long sessfully modified this profound art in less than a day, she would be dumbfounded.


    "Thank you, young master." Chu Yuechan excitedly bowed. She excused herself, allowing Yu Long to see her skip over the street back to the courtyard.


    ''How adorable.'' Yu Long smiled a little. It seems Chu Yuechan wasn''t so emotionless after all.


    Fran crossed her arms beside Yu Long andmented, "Are you going to fuck her?"


    "She''s adorable, why not? It will happen eventually." Yu Long answered straightforwardly.


    "You didn''t even hesitate." Fran was speechless.


    Yu Long shook his head gently and returned, "But I will let things take course naturally. She''s a good woman. We have known each other for roughly three months."


    "Wow, what a gentleman. I wonder what your past lovers thought about this?" Fran nudged Yu Long''s elbow, noticing his expression change drastically.


    "Eh, what''s with the face? Did I say something wrong?"


    "No." Yu Long sat on a rock nearby. "It''s just that a great portion of my past life''s memory hasn''t returned."


    Fran''s eyes widened in disbelief.


    No wonder she felt her master''s temperament and personality changed quite a bit. At first, she felt something was off, and this basically confirmed it.


    "[Kaiju Maker] should be able to do something about this." Fran gazed at Yu Long''s golden eyes. She understood theplexity of Yu Long''s innate ability, and its wonder is still unexplored in their previous world.


    "If it''s really that easy, I wouldn''t develop myself from scratch." Yu Long refuted calmly. He gazed at the distance and continued, "I''m sure [Kaiju Maker] could help brute-force my way through the memory line, but I felt like I would lose something in return."


    "Something precious."


    He rubbed his forehead and gazed at Fran back, "Anyway, let''s stop this conversation at this stage. Tell me everything that happened to you in thest 16 years."


    "Warning, this will be a long story." Fran took a rock nearby to sit on.


    "Go on." Yu Long closed his eyes.


    Fran started presenting Yu Long about her journey in the Primal Chaos.


    Sixteen years ago, Fran was awakened in a dark space of Primal Chaos and drifted by several wormholes. Shended on a few low-star realms, but thoses don''t have inhabitants.


    It''s not until the 34th low-star realm Fran met with her current host, a youngdy named Meng Yiran. She was a ve of a dark merchantpany on that, dying from hunger.


    It was Fran''s bold idea to see if her Essence Sphere could join a new host. And tada, it''s a huge sess.


    Unfortunately, Fran and her host quickly noticed their vitality was draining rapidly.


    Meng Yiran was an Emperor Profound Realm, so she technically could live up to 500 years, and her fusion with Fran siphoned her lifespan like sand to an hourss.


    Unfortunately, even with Fran''s help to advance Meng Yiran''s cultivation to increase her lifespan, it still doesn''t work.


    Only by fixing the crack on Fran''s essence sphere Meng Yiran''s lifespan would stop declining. Even then, they knew it would be toote.


    They roamed around the Primal Chaos together, bing a famous thorn princess.


    Fran ''borrowed'' the Death Knight Duhan''s essence spheres to gain more time. At the time, Meng Yiran was three months away from death.


    It took Fran and Meng Yiran two months and a half to find the Blue Pole while getting chased by Duhan.


    "If I could be here, then you should be around. With that logic, I persist and convince my host to find you." Fran said proudly.


    "What if you couldn''t find me?" Yu Long opened his eyes, meeting Fran''s calm silver eyes.


    Fran smiled and said with double voices, "Then, so be it. Meng Yiran has epted her fate. And my stubbornness is the only reason she wanted toe along."


    "Was that her?" Yu Long tilted his head.


    Fran nodded and closed her eyes. A momentter, a pair of brown eyes greeted Yu Long.


    "Nice to meet you, your majesty." A humble voicees out of the youngdy''s mouth. "My name is Meng Yiran. I hope Sister Fran doesn''t bother you too much."


    Yu Long observed Meng Yiran silently and answered, "That depends on what you consider as a bother. After all, she attacked one of my lovely subordinates."


    "But Sister Fran didn''t kill her." Meng Yiran said thoughtfully.


    "I also didn''t kill Fran..." Yu Long returned indifferently.


    Meng Yiran covered her mouth and giggled, "I must thank you for that."


    "You don''t know how much mess I have on my shoulder because of her."


    "She''s such a troublemaker."


    "She is..." Yu Long nodded in understanding.


    Yu Long and Meng Yirang stared at each other before smiling in amusement.


    ''What the hell, you guys know I can hear your discussion!'' Fran is grumbling inside Meng Yiran.


    Yu Long extended his hand and suddenly grabbed Meng Yiran''s left hand, frowning slightly. "This is worse than I thought. Your lifespan has reduced extremely. At this rate, you can''t live past this night." He mumbled to himself.


    "A ''normal'' human couldn''t handle the power of the Essence Sphere. Although the cultivator of this world has a stronger physique and mind, you will get corrupted by Essence Sphere''s power sooner orter."


    "The reason is that the Essence Sphere could alter one''s essence into pure vitality and eat it slowly from inside. I, [Kaiju Maker], is different because my vitality is practically endless."


    "To put it shortly, bonding with Fran is no different than poisoning yourself to death."


    Fran curled into a ball and felt guilty about this matter. She knew the reason for Meng Yiran''s loss of vitality was her Essence Sphere. On top of that, the broken Essence Sphere increased the danger even more.


    Meng Yiran gave Yu Long a calm smile and stared at the bright white moon in the night sky. "I know, and as Sister Fran said earlier, I''ve epted my fate."


    "She has shown me what it means to have freedom, giving me a chance to see arger world. I was but a mere ve sixteen years ago, but now the Divine Realm recognized me as the Thorn Princess, and that sounds amazing for an achievement."


    ''Yiran, switch with me.'' Fran demanded.


    Meng Yiran closed her eyes and allowed Fran to take over.


    Fran huffed and bowed before Yu Long, even wanting to kiss his shoes, but he stopped her.


    "Master, please."


    "Can you help Yiran? She''s a good girl and deserves to live longer."


    "I will do anything, so please..." Fran said with a strong determination.


    Yu Long flicked Fran''s forehead and replied, "Even if I wanted to help you, I can''t. Your essence and her essence have fully merged."


    "You will devour her essence and recover the ''crack'' in the essence sphere. On the bad side, Meng Yiran will lose her life sooner orter."


    "And on the good side, she will be one with you. You know about this. You just denied it..."


    "The question is, will the fusion of you two give birth to a new personality?" He said calmly.


    Fran''s expression bes pale. She bit her lips and squeezed one final attempt, "Is there no way?"


    "Why don''t you turn her into a new Kaiju? I know you can do that."


    "Please, master."


    Yu Long maintained a calm expression and said, "No."


    One might think Yu Long was heartless, but he couldn''t do anything in this situation. If Meng Yiran still shows a spirit of survival, she might be able to create a miracle. However, she has already epted her fate.


    She resigned peacefully and gave herself entirely to Fran.


    Yes, they are literally one being now.


    In Meng Yiran and Fran''s shared consciousness, Meng Yiran hugged the crying Fairy Queen andforted her warmly. Fran was guilty, but Meng Yiran never med her.


    Dark clouds gathered above the Heavenly Sword Mountain Region, and a storm began.


    Yu Long brought out an umbre and shielded the Fairy Queen from heavy rain, giving her peace of mind in this storm.


    ''They say the day after a rainy night will be sunny. I wish Fran and Meng Yiran a better future.'' Yu Long prayed silently.

    --- Chapter 136 ---


    Yu Long left behind a ghost clone with the help of [Art of Ghost], leaving Fran to her own device. He had already taken a sample of Meng Yiran''s blood and was curious to see how impressive her physique was as the person above the mortal realm.


    ''Thank you, Your Majesty.'' As Yu Long stepped away into the heavy rain, he could hear Meng Yiran''s grateful voice.


    Yu Long didn''t turn around and replied, ''I didn''t do anything except wake Fran up. It''s up to her whether she could ept the reality or not with all she had due to your presence.''


    ''Still, thank you...''


    ''Fran is one of my creations, who followed me to the very death in the past. If no one could help Fran, I would give her some hands because of my past attachments.'' Yu Long walked away.


    ''Tell her I''ll be waiting in the nearby courtyard if she decides to strengthen her Essence Sphere.''Meng Yiran blinked at Yu Long''s figure in the heavy rain. She smiled a little because he was such a bashful young man.


    ''I think the way he acts is called Tsundere.'' Meng Yiran giggled as she recalled Fran''s teaching years ago.


    ...


    The rain couldn''t touch Yu Long''s body for some reason, as if an invisible barrier covered up to 0.1 millimeters from his skin or clothes. The water droplets bounced off him.


    Yu Long arrived at the courtyard and sensed someone waiting for him. He looked ahead and saw Lilying with a towel.


    "You are still awake?"


    Hearing Yu Long''s question, Lily shook her head gently and replied, "As a maid, how could I sleep before my young master? Not to mention, tonight is quite rainy."


    Lily approached Yu Long and gently rubbed his hair with the towel. She wiped the grime from his face and neck, giving a satisfying sigh after Yu Long looked presentable enough.


    Although he wasn''t that dirty because the fight earlier couldn''t make him sweat, Yu Long let Lily do her things. He smelled the towel''s fragrance and warmness, smiling at how thoughtful this money-grubber maid of his was.


    Nevertheless, Lily knew Yu Long the best as she apanied him the longest in his third life.


    "Done. You shouldn''t have disappeared like that anymore." Lily scolded with a pout.


    "Oh, you noticed?" Yu Long chuckled in return.


    Lily rolled her eyes, "Young Master, I''ve known you since you were a baby. I always have my eyes on you."


    "Well, the same goes for Hong Guan and Chu Yueli, as they were eavesdropping on our conversation not far away."


    "Well, well, Lily." Chu Yuelies out from the corner with a friendly smile. "That''s not a nice way to say things about your colleagues."


    Hong Guan didn''t say anything and walked beside Chu Yueli. Even if Lily ndered her, she doesn''t think much of it.


    ''It doesn''t matter. You''re still eavesdropping!'' Lily''s mouth twitched slightly.


    Yu Long was ''actually'' amused by their interaction. He pped his hands to gain their attention and said, "Since all of you were here, I have good and bad news."


    Hong Guan, Lily, and Chu Yueli stopped their arguments and focused their gazes on Yu Long.


    Yu Long exined to them his encounter with the Fairy Queen Fran a while ago and made the maids'' expressions sullen. They have known about [Kaiju Maker] and his past life when they were in the Dragon God''s Trials Ground, but to learn that the past Kaiju survived and lived well in the Primal Chaos is something else.


    Yu Long''s maids know just how dangerous Kaiju can be. Well, their Shadow Realm''s fortress is literally one.


    Chu Yueli couldn''t help but ask, "Is there a usibility that your past Kaiju will be our enemy, young master?"


    "There is." Yu Long nodded calmly.


    "But I don''t think the chance is that high. They won''t want to fight their creator, after all."


    "Unless they wanted fate worse than death..." Yu Long''s golden eyes be dimmer, and his tone is colder than ever.


    Lily stared at Yu Long and said, "I will alert all branches and the main base about this matter. They should be able to detect any disturbance with enough preparation."


    "What about the Lost Heaven Sect..." Hong Guan pointed out. "Maybe we should spread our force more."


    "Also, don''t forget about the Shadow Agents on other continents. They have been doing a mission for months now."


    Yu Long nodded and replied, "I will tell my Kaiju to ry some messageter. Considering the time of Fran''s arrival, we only have one or two days before Duhan''s arrival."


    "I hope he was still as civil as I remembered..."


    "Before we smoothen everything, may I ask how strong this Fran and Duhan was?" Chu Yueli rubbed her chin in wonder.


    Yu Long recalled Fran''s story and answered, "Fran and Meng Yiran are well-known in the Divine Realm as the Thorn Princess. With such fame, her cultivation base is actually quite low..."


    "She''s at the 8th Level of Divine Soul Realm."


    "Divine Soul Realm..." Chu Yueli''s eyes lit up. "That''s the second stage of Seven Divine Realm."


    "And you defeated her effortlessly. Young Master is as amazing as always."


    Yu Long waved his hand, "It''s not worth praising. When you reach level 21 or Merging Realm, you will also be able to achieve the same result." Fighting someone above his realm is normal for Yu Long. His foundation in a cultivation path is way too deep.


    So what if his opponent is three major realms higher than Yu Long''s? His power is not something normal logic couldprehend.


    "Are you suggesting that the three of us finally break through?" Lily narrowed her eyes. "I know there must be a reason you didn''t allow us to enter the Divine Origin Realm."


    "Indeed." Yu Long shrugged at Lily''s remark. "Entering the Divine Origin Realm is like qualitative change to your overall strength, but by piling your profound energy and other forces. You may obtain a greater yield."


    "It''s my hypothesis. Since I researched profound patterns, aspects, and incarnations, What do you think will happen to them upon reaching the Divine Origin Realm?"


    "Evolution. Those qualities will evolve alongside you, bing part of you to the gic levelpletely."


    "It''s Irreversible, isn''t it?" Hong Guan mumbled. "I will be half-human and half-dragon to its truest sense..."


    "What''s the matter? Did you guys regret choosing this path?" Yu Long teased them.


    The maids shook their heads immediately and answered, "No."


    "We are grateful!"


    Yu Long smiled, "That''s why I love you three."


    "Eh?" Lily was shocked.


    "This..." Chu Yueli got caught off guard.


    "I love you too, young master." Hong Guan was the only one who returned Yu Long''s confession with a gentle smile.


    They nned a few things before the Death Knight''s arrival. Yu Long bade good night when he believed their ns were good enough for tonight.


    "I still have to get the Evil God''s Water Seed." Yu Long returned to his room. "The Heaven Basin Secret Realm. There should be a time dtion between the secret realm and the outside world, allowing to get the Evil God''s Dark Seedin the Azure Sky Continent."


    "Aih, tomorrow will be a long day."


    As Yu Long meditated beside the bed, he nced at the sleeping Xia Qingyue and Cang Yue. He''d do anything to protect his loved ones.


    Of course, Yu Long also felt he was forgetting about something.


    ''Ah, that old man.'' Yu Long remembered his n with Yun Canghai.


    Because the Blue Wind Ranking Tournament''s schedule changed abruptly, their n was ''unfortunately'' pushed back by one day. Yu Long scratched his cheek and said, "Uh, I will tell him tomorrow."


    "I have more important things to do." He added while pulling a vial filled with Meng Yiran''s blood. He activated [Kaiju Maker] and started scanning.


    He did this sudden research to find a method to fuse one''s origin with Kaiju''s essence sphere.


    In Yu Long''s past life, no one could use Kaiju''s essence sphere beside him, its maker. Meng Yiran''s fate made him realize [Kaiju Maker] had an unexplored path, something he failed to achieve back then.


    "As long as I can achieve a temporary fusion that won''t damage each subject, it can be considered a great sess." Yu Long grinned in anticipation.


    Yu Long took a huge first step to discover his [Kaiju Maker]''s true potential.

    --- Chapter 137 ---


    The next day.


    The heavy rain finally stopped, allowing morning sunshine to illuminate the world. The Heavenly Sword Mountain Range has several mountains of various sizes, which make it misty after a rainy night.


    At the Heavenly Sword Vi, people are getting ready to attend the award ceremony of the Blue Wind Ranking Tournament. Of course, this makes them remember the fight between Xia Qingyue and Cang Yue.


    The magnitude of that fight is too much.


    Even though the guests and contestants haven''t left the Heavenly Sword Vi, the news about the Blue Wind Ranking Tournament has spread all over the Blue Wind Empire, if not the whole continent.


    Once again, the Lost Heaven Sect shook the continent....


    Yu Long rubbed his eyes and awoke from his in-depth research, "It''s morning already?"


    He felt something on his shoulder and found a nket.


    "Morning, our hardworking husband." Cang Yue and Xia Qingyuey on the bed and cupped their faces, staring at him smugly.


    Yu Long smiled and waved his hand, "Stop with that. I have to tell you two about something."


    Xia Qingyue and Cang Yue were confused by their lover''s antics. Still, they listened to Yu Long''s story ofst night attentively. They were speechless when learning he was meeting one of his exes!


    "So it''s a Woman!" Xia Qingyue yed a wronged wife character.


    "Yu Long, how could you!" Cang Yue followed emotionally.


    "..." Yu Long.


    He stretched his hands and grabbed their cheeks, pinching those squishy fleshes. "Stop being cheeky." He gave them a mean look.


    Xia Qingyue puffed her cheeks, "Fine~!"


    "Yeah, but you''re still guilty, mister. You met with one of your exes." Cang Yue pursed her lips. "We need somepensation."


    "Kaiju, She''s a Kaiju!"


    "Yuyan is Kaiju too!"


    "Yuyan is a different case." Yu Long answered casually. He put on a righteous expression as well.


    If the perverted phoenix is around, she would cry in happiness because this was the first time Yu Long favored her.


    "Mm, my phoenix''s sense is tingling~!" Yuyan, who scourged deep underground to find more precious materials for Yu Long, suddenly stopped and shivered in delight.


    "Kyaa, did the Master think about me?"


    With that in mind, Yuyan became more spirited.


    UWOOOOOOOOh!


    Yuyan started punching deep-ted rocks left and right, gathering all the minerals that gained her attention. She also obtained countless priceless materials, which were enough to make people in the upper realm drool.


    Some were Purple-Veined Heaven Crystals and Master''s Stone, but Yuyan tossed them into her pocket space like they were random pebbles. The Blue Pole Star is indeed a treasure trove.


    Back to the Heavenly Sword Vi, Yu Long had to promise his wives a date before they could listen to himpletely.


    Of course, their coy and yful demeanor changed upon learning that one of Yu Long''s past Kaiju might invade the Blue Pole Star. As they listened to him more, Xia Qingyue and Cang Yue couldn''t help but knit their brows in worry.


    Yu Long noticed their expression shift and chuckled, "Don''t worry. As long as I''m here, everything will be fine."


    "Also, you two have be more powerful than ever. You''re not a powerless girl and princess anymore."


    "I''m sorry for ying around earlier." Xia Qingyue lowered her head in shame. She wanted to be a little naughty in the morning.


    Cang Yue bit her lips and also lowered her head, "I''m sorry."


    Yu Long kissed them on the lips each and reassuringly said, "Don''t look so down. In the end, you still listened to my exnation."


    "You don''t know how many men out there whose wives and lovers don''t even listen to what they want to say. Compared to them, I''m quite lucky."


    "Mm." Xia Qingyue and Cang Yue nodded meekly. They also felt lucky to have someone like Yu Long as their husband.


    They cuddled on the bed for a few minutes before Yu Long shared one more news about his discovery of Meng Yiran''s fusion with the Fairy Queen Fran.


    "So, it''s really possible to form a symbiotic rtionship with Kaiju?" Xia Qingyue tilted her head in amazement.


    Yu Long fused with some Kaiju when they were doing secluded training in the Dragon God''s Trial Grounds, and the power he showcased at the time was mind-blowing.


    If they could replicate it, Xia Qingyue couldn''t imagine how strong she could be.


    "Yes, but we need some testing first. I don''t want you to experience what Meng Yiran went through." Yu Long replied decisively.


    "What a horrible fate she has." Cang Yue mumbled in pity.


    Yu Long sighed, "Yeah, but she doesn''t regret it."


    "Well, let''s get out and grab some breakfast."


    "The Heavenly Sword Vi should have sent their representatives to our front door."


    After tidying themselves, they went outside and saw the maids encircling a white-haired woman in a dirty white robe.


    "Fran?" Yu Long recognized the white-haired woman''s silver eyes and long ears. So, he decided to call her name.


    The white-haired woman smiled weakly, "Morning, master."


    "What happened to you?"


    "Your clone should dissipate soon and give you the answer." She shook her head lightly. It seems she was reluctant to answer him.


    Yu Long frowned and received the information from his Ghost Clone. His eyes widened in surprise.


    "This, you don''t care about your life anymore?"


    "Yiran sacrificed herself for you, but you do the same in return."


    The Fairy Queen let her host''s essence overwrite her Essence Sphere.


    They didn''t only be one being in terms of the body. They are also one in terms of mind and soul!


    The woman before everyone is a new being, a perfect fusion of a human and a Kaiju.


    The new Fairy Queen ced her hand on the chest and bowed her body gracefully, "Please let me follow you again, master."


    "I believe my unique existence will bring countless benefits."


    "In return, please fix the cracks on my Essence Sphere."


    Yu Long''s mouth twitched. He had no problem taking Fran in, but her situation rendered him speechless.


    He has been [Kaiju Maker] for 16 years. Neen years if we include his past life, but there has never been a case like Fran and Meng Yiran.


    ''Well, this will help me speed up the research about the symbiotic rtionship.'' Yu Long awkwardly gazed at the new Fran.


    No, since she was the fusion of Fran and Meng Yiran, she should have a different identity now.


    "What''s your name?" Yu Long asked calmly.


    The new Fairy Queen smiled and answered, "My name is Freya, master."


    "Freya..." Yu Long nodded in understanding. "Very well, I will take you in."


    "Come here."


    Freya walked to Yu Long''s side and watched him stretch his left hand to her shoulder. She felt an incredible amount of vitality surging from his body, transferring a portion of it to her.


    Freya closed her eyes in joy like her whole body dipped in a soothing hot spring, sensing a cracked greenish-gold Essence Sphere within her body getting fixed rapidly and leaving no gap behind.


    After a few breaths, the Essence Sphere bes perfect and fully greenish-gold with an ethereal gleam.


    ...


    Kaiju No.18


    Species: Hybrid Ascended Human-Treant(Fairy Queen)


    Grade: SS+


    Abilities: True Overgrow, Serene Heart, Pure Desire, Wise Woman''s Eyes, Fairy Queen of Nature, Lush Spawns, Sorrowful Song of Rainy Night, Twin Stars of World''s Tree, Mother Earth''s Embrace, Excessive Dedication


    Name: Fran & Meng Yiran(Former), Freya(True)


    ...


    Yu Long lifted his hand andmented, "You have gained quite a lot of abilities while roaming around the Primal Chaos, huh?"


    "It''s nothingpared to you, master." Freya humbly replied.


    She nced at thedies and bowed, "My name is Freya. From now on, I will be in your care."


    "Let''s get along."


    Thedies looked at each other and replied, "Okay."


    Although they thought it was weird for Freya to appear out of nowhere and ask Yu Long to ept her as his subordinate again, they are willing to overlook it due to the ''special'' circumstances.


    "Freya, you will rest in this courtyard until I return from the Heaven Basin Secret Realm. Hong Guan and Lily will stay and teach you about my cultivation system." Yu Long ordered without beating around a bush.


    "Freya will follow the master''s order." The Fairy Queen responded immediately.


    He stared at her and added, "When Duhan appears, I want you to de-escte the situation."


    "Take this, and tell Duhan I was here."


    Freya received a spatial ring, which she peeked curiously. Upon seeing countless essence spheres inside, she couldn''t help but part her little mouth in disbelief.


    "Then, I will go to retrieve something first." Yu Long patted Freya''s shoulder and walked away. At first, he wanted to have breakfast, but Freya''s situation changed his mind.


    Xia Qingyue, Cang Yue, Chu Yueli, and Chu Yuechan followed Yu Long outside.


    As they disappeared from the courtyard, Freya blinked her eyes and stared at Lily and Hong Guan curiously.


    Lily smiled and greeted, "Wee to the team."


    "Wee." Hong Guan added aloofly.


    "Thanks." Freya didn''t expect this warm wee, but she epted it wholeheartedly. "Can you tell me about the master''s life so far first?"


    "Sure." Surprisingly, Hong Guan nodded. "We will tell you."


    "But it would be long."


    "I don''t mind..." Freya replied as she hadn''t solidified her condition. She preferred to know more about Yu Long first than cultivating her strength.


    Her master.


    Her dear master.

    --- Chapter 138 ---


    "Well, that was a surprise." Yu Longmented as he walked to the Sword Discourse Arena. There, the top ten rankers of the Blue Wind Ranking Tournament will receive their rewards.


    Xia Qingyue and Cang Yue nced at each other, shaking their heads helplessly because they could understand why Yu Long was surprised.


    Since Yu Long has told them about his abrupt encounter with the Fairy Queen, Xia Qingyue and Cang Yue could tell how significant Fran-! No, Freya was to Yu Long''s research.


    Yes, As if Freya was a key to open Yu Long''s blocked path.


    "Morning, young master." Murong Qianxue, the fairy of Frozen Cloud Asgard, greeted Yu Long as they met on the street. From the looks of it, she and three otherdies from the Frozen Cloud Asgard also want to go to the Sword Discourse Arena.


    "May we tag along to the Sword Discourse Arena?" She asked shortly after.Yu Long nodded and kept thinking about something else, but his small gesture made Murong Qianxue and the three youngdies happy.


    They walked a bit more, only to find Fen Juechen and Sikong Du also came out and greeted them. Tagging along to Yu Long''s group, the two young men couldn''t help but maintain distance because there were too many beautifuldies in the crowd. In short, they felt overwhelmed.


    ''Is this the influence thates from being powerful?'' Fen Juechen thought, watching Yu Long''s back silently.


    Meanwhile, Sikong Du scratched his cheek awkwardly as he could neverpare himself to Yu Long. Coming this far in the Blue Wind Ranking Tournament is like a ''dreame true'' for him.


    They arrived at the Sword Discourse Arena and saw some crowds already gathering. The mood on the field is brimming with excitement, but Yu Long and others didn''t think much of it.


    What kind of rewards could possibly arouse the interest of Yu Long''s group?


    However, Yu Long and others didn''t show it.


    ''Maybe the rewards will change. After all, my existence changed many things in this timeline.'' Yu Long casually inspected the Heavenly Sword Vi''s crowd.


    Yu Long sensed the killing intent not far away and caught someone from the Burning Heaven n ring at Fen Juechen.


    He nced at Fen Juechen and saw the young man with a receding hairline coldly smirking at his enemy.


    "Aren''t you afraid?" He asked Fen Juechen.


    "Pardon?" Fen Juechen didn''t understand what Yu Long implied.


    Yu Long smiled and exined, "You didn''t know that there would be two more additional events after the award ceremony, I assume."


    "After this, someone will bring us to the Sword Management Terrace and watch over a caged Demon. Oh yeah, they called it the Demon Sealing Ritual. Soon, we also have a chance to enter a secret realm called the Heaven Basin Secret Realm, and filled with opportunity and grief danger."


    "If I remember correctly, one of Burning Heaven n''s members ranked ten, right? It allows them to enter the Heaven Basin Secret Realm and possibly kill you there."


    "This..." Fen Juechen was shocked. He never heard about watching the Demon Sealing Ritual before, more so the Heaven Basin Secret Realm.


    He was too naive!


    He thought gaining Yu Long''s attention was enough to protect him for a while, but he didn''t expect the Burning Heaven n to n such a scheme.


    ''As long as they could kill me without noticing, people will think my death is due to the danger of this secret realm.'' Fen Juechen gritted his teeth.


    ''But wait, didn''t Yu Long notice their n already?''


    Fen Juechen dumbly stared at Yu Long.


    Yu Long opened his mouth again andmented, "Don''t give me that face. With your current strength, a mid-stage Earth Profound Realm won''t give you much trouble."


    "I will give you protection, but that doesn''t mean I will shield everything for you. You need to temper yourself, so don''t even think about bing flowers in a greenhouse."


    "You included Sikong Du." Cang Yue suddenly added after her husband''s statement.


    "W-We understand." Fen Juechen and Sikong Du nodded but also felt down. Their hardship just gets started.


    After a while, everyone gathered in the Sword Discourse Arena. There seemed to be more crowds than when the tournament was still going.


    The Heavenly Sword Vi''s master, Ling Yuefeng, descended from the podium and greeted, "Wee, everyone. I, the master of Heavenly Sword Vi, announce that the award ceremony will begin!"


    A loud cheer echoed in the Sword Discourse Arena.


    Ling Yuefeng smiled outside but grimaced inside because none of his sons entered the top three or five(at least).


    The Heavenly Sword Vi''s prestigious image as the number-one force in the Blue Wind Ranking Tournament has long gone since the appearance of the Lost Heaven Sect.


    Three years ago, the Lost Heaven Sect''s disciples dominated the Blue Wind Ranking Tournament and made Ling Yuefeng feel uneasy.


    This time, it felt worse than ever.


    ''Aah, not only are those girls monsters at such a young age but they are also engaged to the Lost Heaven Sect''s young leader. A bastard who stole Chu Yuechan away from me.''


    If Yu Long knew what Ling Yuefeng was thinking, he would smack him for being a delusional bastard.


    Ling Yuefeng calmed down and called out, "The top ten rankers! Please step forward to the podium and receive your rewards!"


    "We will see you in a minute." Xia Qingyue and Cang Yue as they disappeared from their position.


    Fen Juechen, Sikong Du, and three youngdies from the Frozen Cloud Asgards also followed them to the podium.


    The remaining three are Ling Yuefeng''s sons, Ling Yun and Ling Jie, and Burning Heaven n''s members.


    They stood before Ling Yuefeng, staring at him with a wide range of emotion.


    Ling Yuefeng cleared his throat and said solemnly, "Ten of you are the most talented youths I''ve seen. I hope you don''t give up and strive for a greater realm."


    "Yes!"


    "The fourth to tenth shall receive three Profound Spirit Pills and one Heart Linking Pills."


    "Shui Wushuang, step forward."


    "Yes." Shui Wushuang stepped forward.


    Ling Yuefeng gently ced down a jade bottle and said, "As the third ce, you deserve one golden-striped dragon pellet and ten Heart Linking Pills."


    "Thank you, vi master." Shui Wushuang bowed. She wasn''t that happy with her rewards because she had used Heart Opening Liquids thanks to Yu Long graciously giving them to the Frozen Cloud Asgard a while ago.


    And yes, the Heart Opening Liquid is better than Heart Linking Pills by a thousand leaps. It''s likeparing liquid gold to a dung.


    Shui Wushuang might get some pocket change by selling her rewardster.


    Of course, Ling Yuefeng didn''t know about this as he continued, "Cang Yue, step forward."


    Cang Yue calmly stepped forward and received her second-ce''s reward.


    Ling Yuefeng smiled and praised, "Your fight is spectacr. You have opened countless eyes by showing them your might. With that, I will reward you with a high-grade Sky Profound Artifact: Green Dragonscale Armor and one drop of Ancient Well''s Dews."


    "Thank you, vi master." Cang Yue gracefully bowed, maintaining her image as the princess of the Blue Wind Empire. Although the reward isn''t good, and Ling Yuefeng is weaker than her, she doesn''t show any disrespect.


    Ling Yuefeng nodded and moved his gaze to Xia Qingyue, the Blue Wind Ranking Tournament''s champion. "Xia Qingyue, step forward."


    Xia Qingyue stepped forward and stared at Ling Yuefeng emotionlessly.


    The vi master grabbed a sword from his spatial ring and made everyone in the area gasp. It was an Emperor Profound Artifact!


    "I doubt any artifact will satisfy you because the Lost Heaven Sect should amass quite a resource on you, but as the Heavenly Sword Vi... I can''t let others look down on us, no?"


    "So that''s why you will receive an Emperor Profound Artifact: Azure Roving Sword and three drops of Ancient Well''s Dews."


    "Thank you, vi master." Xia Qingyue epted her reward and cupped her hands.


    Yu Long rubbed his chin and mumbled, "What''s Ancient Well''s Dews?"


    Murong Qianxue coughed, "Ehem, let me exin."


    "In the previous Blue Wind Ranking Tournament, Heavenly Sword Vi discovered a well in the Heaven Basin Secret Realm. And within that well exists a miraculous yet small body of water."


    "One drop of Ancient Well''s Dews could boost one''sprehension for three hours, allowing for a better grasp of one''s technique. On top of that, one might open their profound veins by one or two."


    "Oh, so it''s worthless then." Yu Long responded casually.


    Murong Qianxue giggled, "I''m afraid only you could say such a thing, young master."


    The Ancient Well''s Dews is worthless because the Heart Opening Liquid could achieve the same effects! And let''s not even mention the Greater Heart Opening Liquids. Yu Long has a bunch of those in his spatial ring and warehouses.


    After the award ceremony and the visitors left the Sword Discourse Arena, an elder named Ling Kun greeted the top ten rankers and the remaining guests.


    "The current Blue Wind Ranking Tournament is such a huge surprise." Ling Kun chuckled at the top ten rankers warmly.


    "Some of you might not know why I''m here, which means I will exin something first."


    "First of all, my name is Ling Kun. And I''m an elder of the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region!"


    "You will follow me to the Sword Management Terrace, and I will show you an evil and despicable being! A Demon!"


    Gasps!


    "W-What? Demon??"


    "Do demons actually exist?!"


    "This is crazy!"


    The naive youths in the crowds gasped. Well, with some exceptions, like Yu Long and hispanions.


    Ling Kun was ''deeply'' satisfied by their reactions and smiled, "Follow me."


    They went to the Sword Management Terrace, and Ling Kun introduced the cruelty of Demon to the naive youths along the way.


    He wanted to brainwash them, instilling the belief that the wretched thing sealed here is a literal evil incarnation.


    ''Only fools will believe such a one-sided story.'' Yu Long thought, shaking his head inwardly.


    As they arrived at the Sword Management Terrace, Ling Kun told them to maintain a distance. He waved his hands and made specific signs, controlling the Heaven''s Might Soul Suppressing Formation.


    The massive ck sword at the center of the terrace slowly lifted, revealing an altar.


    Yu Long sent a wisp of his mental energy, rming Yun Canghai about his arrival.


    ...


    Under the Heaven''s Might Soul Suppressing Formation, Yun Canghai sprawled on the altar with wine jugs and ribs all over the ground.


    Burp~!


    "Damn it, where the hell is that kid?!" Yun Canghai was drinking his wine in frustration. He was ready to beat some shit down, but Yu Long hadn''t arrived nor given him a sign about changing the n.


    "Arrgh! This grandaddy wants to rip that Ling Kun bastard to pieces!"


    ''Oy, Old man. Are you ready?'' Yu Long''s voice suddenly entered Yun Canghai''s head.


    Yun Canghai was stunned, "Kid, is that you?"


    ''Of course, it''s me. Dio-! I mean, prepare yourself. Ling Kun is about to open the formation and lift you.'' Yu Long couldn''t resist and responded humorously.


    ''Also, make yourself more presentable. We don''t want Ling Kun to get suspicious.''


    Yun Canghaiughed like a madman, "KEKEKE, THIS DEMON KING IS GOING TO MAKE HIS ENTRANCE!"


    ...


    The altar fully revealed itself.


    The youths and elders watched over it, seeing a middle-aged man in a ragged robe with his limbs tied on chains. They frowned because Yun Canghai looked like a human.


    Ling Kun waved his hand and shouted, "Don''t be deceived by his appearance!"


    "HE''S A DEMON!"


    "No, he''s the Demon King hailed from the Demon Realm."


    "The four sacred grounds must gather our strength to defeat him. And after several times, we sessfully sealed him here. Although he looks no different than a battered dog, he''s still dangerous."


    Yun Canghai grinned and said, "Wow, what a grand introduction."


    "Ling Kun, your asshole must be jealous of the amount of shiting from your mouth!"


    "Shut up, demon!" Ling Kun roared back.


    "Hehehe~!" Yun Canghaiughed joyfully.


    Ling Kun''s nerve twitches in annoyance. He knew Yun Canghai was acting strong in front of everyone.


    ''Hmph, you''re just an old and dying dog.'' He thought with a sneer.


    Ling Kun confidently walked to Yun Canghai and said, "You might be a monarch in the past, but right now? You''re just a weak early-stage Emperor Profound Realm."


    "A mere ant." He added, giving Yun Canghai a petty kick.


    Yun Canghai endured the kick, feeling like it was a kick from a toddler. Heughed inside, waiting for his moment.


    He peeked at Yu Long and saw the young man''s golden eyes gleaming slightly.


    ''When Ling Kun turns his back, you''re free to shock everyone.'' Yu Long''s calm voice echoed in Yun Canghai''s head. ''Follow the n, and create enough chaos...''


    ''We will exchange a few moves, and you may run to the southeast. Find a man named Hua Minghai. He''s waiting for you on the mountain peak.''


    ''Noted.'' Yun Canghai responded gleefully.


    "Hmph, you demon." Ling Kun showed his contempt and kicked Yun Canghai a few more times.


    "Everyone, please remember this... Demon is a cunning creature."


    "This wretched one in particres from a Demonic n called Yun Family. They possessed a bloodline''s ability called Profound Handle, which is very dangerous."


    "And is it okay for you to stand so close to the demon?" Someone suddenly raised his voice to ask this question. "Elder, you''re the one who said it was dangerous..."


    Ling Kun chuckled and replied. "Don''t worry. He is sealed for years by Heaven''s Might Soul Suppressing Formation. His pitiful strength cannot outmatch mine."


    ''Even if Yun Canghaiunches a sneak attack. I''m powerful enough to handle his early-stage Emperor Profound Realm''s strength.'' That''s what Ling Kun thought but didn''t utter it. He has character to maintain, and he couldn''t boast too much.


    Ling Kun gazed at the youths and expressed, "Ten of you are the talented youths of this generation, so please remember that demons are our mortal enemy!"


    "Kill any demons you encounter in the future..."


    "Do not show mercy!"


    After saying that, Ling Kun slowly walked away from the altar.


    Everyone felt their blood boil due to his reminder.


    But some youths and elders stayed calm. One youth, in particr, stared at Ling Kun like he had be a corpse already.


    Swoosh!


    STAB!


    Someone''s blood ''abruptly'' spilled on the Sword Management Terrace, painting the ground red.


    Everyone gasped in horror.


    Yes, the chaos finally begins!

    --- Chapter 139 ---


    Splurts!


    Cough!


    Ling Kun staggered on the spot, spewing a mouthful of blood to the ground. A gaping hole appeared on his stomach, getting pierced by a spear made of cyan light.


    On top of that, an intense lightning coating prevents Ling Kun from covering his organs with profound energy to get further damage.


    All this happens within a split of a second.


    "H-How?" He turned around in horror.Ling Kun tried to suppress his injury, "I''m sure the Heaven''s Might Soul Suppressing Formation is still on, so how could you attack me with the strength above Emperor Profound Realm??"


    Yun Canghai''s face stered with a foolish grin as he chuckled, "A mere 7th Level of Tyrant Profound Realm dare to call this great Demon King an ant? Buahahaha, do you really think the Heaven''s Might Soul Suppressing Formation is invincible?"


    "Fool, what an utter fool! I''ve gotten trapped in this hell hole for many years now. I''m bound to know a trick or two..."


    Yun Canghai grabbed one of the chains tied to his left arm and broke it apart with a thunderous boom. White light illuminated the altar, and the chains shattered.


    BOOOM!


    Ling Kun''s eyes widened in fear. If the Heaven''s Might Soul Suppressing Formation still affected Yun Canghai, Ling Kun wouldn''t be afraid.


    However, the only means to suppress Yun Canghai is gone after he shatters those chains forged with a meteorite.


    "Everyone, run!" Ling Kun screamed at the top of his lungs.


    Well, it was toote.


    "Hahaha~! This granddaddy is back!" Yun Canghai''sughter permeated the Sword Management Terrace. His monarch''s aura swept over everyone, preventing them from escaping.


    Yun Canghai jumped off the altar and walked to Ling Kun leisurely, grinning from ear to ear.


    He ced his hand on Ling Kun''s face and said, "I''ve been waiting for this, you fucker..."


    BAM!


    "AAAAAAAAAAAARRRGGHHHH!" A blood-curdling scream filled everyone''s ears with terror.


    Yun Canghai broke Ling Kun''s lower jaws and smacked his face against the ground, razzing it like a towel.


    After that, Yun Canghai infused Ling Kun''s body with intense lightning and stimted his nerves. It caused Ling Kun to jerk like a fish out of water, experiencing otherworldly pain.


    "Say goodbye to your spine, haha!" Yun Canghai lifted Ling Kun like a ragdoll that he was and dragged him down to his knees.


    Crack!


    The sound of bone breaking sent shivers down everyone''s spine.


    The youths couldn''t even blink on time, wanting to puke from this sight and sound. Their faces are as pale as paper.


    Even for the elders, who have experienced the world''s cruelty, watching Yun Canghai''s ravenous act was too much.


    And so, Yun Canghai tortured Ling Kun for five minutes.


    Yun Canghai felt every inch of his body be lighter as if some burden ''gradually'' lifted off his shoulders, but he knew that Ling Kun was just the beginning of his revenge.


    To avenge the Demon Emperor.


    To avenge the Little Demon Emperor.


    And to avenge his brothers.


    He sighed in momentary relief and looked down at the broken and dying Ling Kun.


    Yun Canghai didn''t realize this, but his hatred caused his torture of Ling Kun to be the most painful way. He literally enhanced Ling Kun''s sensory nerves, overriding them with slow but constant impulse lightning so Ling Kun would experience hell!


    ''I''ve shattered every bone that can get broken. Fried every nerve that won''t end this trash''s life immediately. And finally, I destroyed every muscle tissue with my lightning.'' Yun Canghai grumbled to himself.


    What a fragile punching bag.


    Then, again.


    Ling Kun is only at the 7th Level of Tyrant Profound Realm.


    "Well, let''s send you off with a st." Yun Canghai said, sending a pulse to Ling Kun''s body.


    Ling Kun''s body started to wrap around itself. His flesh and bones twisted, turning into a pulsating fleshy ball.


    It wasn''t a pleasant sight.


    Yun Canghai stared at the trembling eyes of Ling Kun and said, "Go to hell, bitch."


    BOOOOOOOOOM!! Sts!


    Ling Kun exploded, sttering bodily matter on the Sword Management Terrace.


    The youths in the area couldn''t handle it anymore. They throw up and release groaning sounds.


    Meanwhile, the elderly are no better either. They felt like Yun Canghai was going after them soon.


    And just like that, a hero stepped out.


    Yun Canhai rolled his eyes inwardly but still yed his part.


    "Oh, someone dares to move in this Demon King''s presence?" He said in surprise. "Brat, state your name."


    Yu Long maintained a calm face and responded, "Yu Long."


    "Hmm, I can''t see your cultivation." Yun Canghaimented honestly. He didn''t lie about this matter.


    "I hear that often." Yu Long responded with a shrug.


    Yun Canghai knew his time was short, so he would create as much chaos as possible while fighting Yu Long. Ling Kun''s death should have sent an intense rm to the Mighty Heaven Sword Region.


    Today, this ce will be razzed t!


    "Hoho, then let me see how strong you are!" Yun Canghai shed with a bolt of lightning. He arrived near Yu Long and thrust his lightning sword at him.


    "Noooo!" The youngdies of Frozen Cloud Asgard screamed.


    nk!


    Yu Long slowly lifted his right hand and waved down, creating a wave of violet light. It defended him from Yun Canghai''s sword but failed to prevent him from flying away.


    BAM!


    Yun Canghai narrowed his eyes, ''As expected, this kid... He''s a monster of his own.''


    At first, Yun Canghai suspected Yu Long was more a monster than Muzen, the Scorpion-tailed Demon King, but now he confirmed it.


    ''From the way, this kid manipted his profound way and overall body movement, he could easily counter me.''


    ''But he didn''t, allowing us to take this fight somewhere...''


    [Purple Cloud Art - Lightning Steps]


    [Art of Violet Mist - Hazy Purple Steps]


    Yun Canghai and Yu Long stepped into the air, exchanging blows and breaking one building after another. Theypletely razed a peak, turning it into a tnd.


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    The sound of thunder echoed in the area.


    But a momentter, a burning sound followed.


    After exchanging more than a thousand moves and destroying fifteen peaks, they finally retreated and stood between a grayish river.


    "Not bad." Yun Canghai felt his whole body numb.


    When he exchanged blows with Yu Long, it felt like he was assaulting a sturdy metal te. No, even a sturdy metal te isn''t this resilient.


    Yu Long brushed the dust off his clothes and responded casually, "Your profound art is not bad either. To mimic not only aspects of lighting and thunder but also incorporating several characteristics into movements."


    "Your Yun Family''s origin is not so simple."


    "Hmph, you finally knew." Yun Canghai proudly lifted his nose.


    "I''m praising your ancestors, not you." Yu Long added while squinting his eyes. "Compared to them, you''re pathetic."


    Yun Canghai red and angrily shouted, "Fuck it, this Demon King will beat you up for real this time!"


    "Try me." Yu Long fearlessly returned.


    They kept destroying the Heavenly Sword Mountain Range and killed a handful of unimportant people along the way, making Yun Canghai''s image as the Demon King more prominent.


    As Yu Long t heroically fought against the Demon King for the Heavenly Sword Vi, his deed spread quickly. After all, the fight is intense and fast-paced.


    After destroying a peak, Yun Canghai and Yu Long would move to another peak and cause more chaos. They left some peaks intact, and people won''t get any ideas about this coboration.


    Still, one might wonder, just what''s their goal?


    Remember that the root of Heavenly Sword Vi is that of the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region.


    Yu Long wanted to see how the Four Great Sacred Grounds reacted to the news of Yun Canghai''s escapade from the Heaven''s Might Soul Suppressing Formation.


    Of course, Yu Long also wanted to solidify his image after leaving for nearly four years from the public. It made the Four Great Sacred Grounds wary of his existence, but they couldn''t do anything to tarnish his image, as he was the one who fended the Demon King.


    ''This is thest peak, also the biggest one...'' Yun Canghaimented in anticipation.


    ''Yeah. Prepare your big attack because we will do our final exchange here.'' Yu Long replied casually.


    So what if the Heavenly Sword Vi is getting destroyed? It''s not Yu Long''s problem.


    BOOM!


    Yun Canghainded on a cracked concrete. He wiped blood from his mouth andughed, "Not bad, kid. Not many people could injure this Demon King."


    "But I have enough. I will kill you this time." He said with a feral grin.


    Yu Long lifted his fists and responded, "Come, I''m not afraid of your attack."


    [Purple Cloud Art - Thunderclouds Cyclone]


    [Art of Violet Mist - Changing Nature''s Laws]


    Yun Canhai extended his hand, summoning vast thunderclouds above the Heavenly Sword Mountain Region. He pointed his finger coated with flickering white and blue lightning and said, "Charge!"


    A white dragon appeared and descended from the sky. The sheer size alone could swallow five small peaks.


    Yu Long used his finger like it was a sword. He stabbed the air and rapidly increased the temperature, shing the iing white lightning dragon.


    KAABOOOOOOM!!


    An extreme shockwave brushed the peak and destroyed everything it had met.


    Yun Canghai floated in the sky and grabbed his bleeding right arm.


    "Kid, did you say your name is Yu Long?" He said with a solemn tone.


    "Yes." Yu Long wiped fake blood from the corner of his mouth.


    Yun Canghai grinned, "This Demon King will remember your name!"


    "For now, I will retreat."


    "But remember! I, Yun Canghai, the Demon King of Illusory Demon Realm, have finally returned!"


    "Just you wait. I will tten the Four Great Sacred Grounds to avenge my lord and brothers!" After saying that, Yun Canghai disappeared with a sh of lightning.


    "Haha... Hahaha~!" Hisughter echoed miles away.


    Yu Long stood amidst the chaotic environment and mumbled, "Next, the Heaven Basin Secret Realm."


    Not long after, several profound arks arrived at the destroyed Heavenly Sword Vi.


    "Where is he?"


    "Where is the Demon??"


    Yu Long nced at the source of the voice and replied, "After exchanging moves with me and being injured in return... He ran away."


    "What?" The people in the Profound Arks were shocked.


    "But how could that be possible?"


    Yu Long shrugged, "I tried my best."


    One eldernded near Yu Long and asked, "Who are you?"


    Yu Long gazed at the elder and answered, "Me? My name is Yu Long."


    "Yu Long from the Lost Heaven Sect."

    --- Chapter 140 ---


    After the whole ordeal with the Demon King, the elders of Four Great Sacred Grounds surround Yu Long warily. From the look of their faces, they are ready to pounce him if they notice something is wrong.


    Yu Long dug his ear and gazed at the elders calmly.


    His acts are something that the elders who lived hundreds, if not thousands, of years, couldn''t understand.


    Yu Long doesn''t even look like he was twenty years of age.


    So, how did he maintain hisposure in front of these people?


    Well, first of all, they are weak. Of course, Yu Long wouldn''t utter that right away, as it would break his cover."Yu Long... From the Lost Heaven Sect?" One elder from a bird-shaped profound ark frowned. "I haven''t heard about such a sect before."


    Yu Long smiled and responded, "Wow, don''t tell me you lived under the rock all this time. How could you not know about the Lost Heaven Sect when your sect master has readily tried to get on our coattail for years?"


    The elder on the bird-shaped profound arkshed angrily, "What did you say?"


    "I will kill you, brat!"


    A violent silver and golden light traveled across the air. It was the power of the Sun and Moon, intertwining into the shape of a spear and reaching Yu Long''s head at lightning speed.


    ''So much for being a monarch-level elder. I guessed those hundreds of years were ''literally'' used to cultivate his ego, not his cultivation.'' Yu Long thought at this sight.


    Everyone blinked and expected Yu Long''s head to pop like a watermelon.


    However, Yu Long casually stretched his right hand, creating a violet-colored sword. The sword lit up and released a high-powered beam, burning the air rapidly.


    BAM!


    The spear burned into light particles. It was the result of heating the profound energy within its technique.


    Yu Long nced at the elder on the bird-shaped profound ark andmented, "No one would say a thing now, right?"


    "Unless you wanted me to kill this annoying fossil. Because I can and would if you keep pushing me."


    What Yu Long said was to confirm his position in this conversation. Since their arrival, they have done nothing but re at him suspiciously.


    They couldn''t believe a young man like Yu Long could fend against the Demon King Yun Canghai. No, they couldn''t imagine it because that was too ridiculous.


    But now, Yu Long proved he was at the same level as them despite not having the presence of a monarch-level expert.


    The elder who asked Yu Long a question earlier coughed and cupped his hand, "Young Hero, please forgive our rudeness. What you said earlier was unbelievable, but we believed you now."


    "My name is Long Gang. I''m an elder dispatched by the Absolute Monarch Sanctuary."


    "I''m sorry on behalf of that fellow."


    "As you can see, each of us was in a closed-door cultivation and the closest to Heavenly Sword Vi, so we didn''t know much about the state of this world before rushing here when someone triggered the Heaven''s Might Soul Suppressing Formation''s mechanism."


    "It was probably Ling Kun, where is he?" An elder from the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region suddenly pointed out.


    "Dead." Yu Long answered indifferently. "When doing the Demon Sealing Ritual, Ling Kun turned his back on his enemy, which was a huge mistake that led him to be tortured and then killed by the Demon King. I don''t know how the Demon King escapes, but..."


    "This wouldn''t have happened if Ling Kun stayed within a safe range and stopped provoking a cornered beast. Even a fangless beast could kill someone who lowered their guard down."


    "You..." The elder from the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region was ''actually'' taken aback by Yu Long''s words. This golden-eyed youth has no shred of respect for him.


    He even dared to badmouth the elder of Mighty Heavenly Sword Region.


    Yu Long shrugged and kept talking, "If you still don''t trust me, feel free to ask the people in the Sword Management Terrace/the Crime Scene."


    "I will be in the quarter of Heavenly Sword Vi''s master. I need to talk with him." After saying that, Yu Long''s body turned into violet mist and disappeared from the destroyed peak.


    The elders frowned as they couldn''t sense Yu Long''s departure.


    "Aih, has the world changed so much in the past years?" Long Gang sighed while stroking his beard.


    "Let''s go to the formation first." The elder from the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region said. And every elder agreed to visit the ce.


    Ultimately, Yu Long''s appearance makes a deep impression on them.


    ...


    Yu Long arrived at the quarter of Heavenly Sword Vi''s master and discovered a trembling mass of a man called Ling Yuefeng.


    "The fuck..." He muttered in disbelief.


    Ling Yuefeng was hiding in his room, fortified with several defensive formations.


    If Yu Long has to guess correctly, this man probably feared his death upon sensing Yun Canghai''s presence and hid here the Demon King ransacking everything in the Heavenly Sword Vi.


    "Tsk, cowardly bastard." Yu Long''s golden eyes be cold. "And yet you dare to approach Chu Yuechan despite being married to a decent woman and having two sons."


    "Boneless chicken is more brave than you."


    Yu Long didn''t even knock and kicked the front door, sting the whole room open.


    "AH!" A terrified yelpes from the inside.


    Yu Long walked inside, finding Ling Yuefeng in exaggerated armor and an almost Tyrant Profound Sword in hand.


    "Don''te here! Don''te closer!" Ling Yuefeng shouted frantically, pointing his sword at Yu Long. His eyes are blood-shot red, entering the degree of madness due to excessive fear.


    Yu Long stared at Ling Yuefeng calmly and said, "You know that pointing a sword at someone means putting your life on the line, right?"


    "I''ve received a threat earlier, and my response is mostly the same for this situation. So, lower your sword and tell me the location of Heaven Basin Secret Realm''s entrance."


    Ling Yuefeng trembled and lifted his head, meeting with Yu Long''s golden eyes. His eyes widened because isn''t this the youth who stole Chu Yuechan from him?


    "DIE!" He suddenly lunged toward Yu Long.


    "Whatever." Yu Long stepped forward and choke-mmed Ling Yuefeng to the ground, causing a loud thud. The ground cracked, and the room shook violently.


    BAM!


    He activated [Kaiju Maker] and essed Ling Yuefeng''s brain, extracting information. After getting what he wanted, Yu Long released Ling Yuefeng''s neck and kicked him like a dying dog to the side.


    "You''re lucky that you still have some uses..." Yu Long spared no eyes for Ling Yuefeng and left the room. He was ''bizarrely'' greeted by Ling Yuefeng''s wife, Xuanyuan Yufeng.


    He frowned, "What do you want?"


    Xuanyuan Yufeng stared at Yu Long silently and opened her mouth slowly in sadness, "W-Why didn''t you help my uncle earlier... He could have life and not end in such a torturous death!"


    Yu Long rubbed his forehead and returned, "In that moment, whose life is important? Your uncle or my wives?"


    "Even if you give me a second opportunity, I''d still step up to protect my wives by fighting the Demon King. He''s a powerful expert, and you told me to step out when he was unstable?"


    Xuanyuan Yufeng''s eyes became dim as tears welled up. She dropped down on the ground and cried her eyes out.


    "Put yourself in my shoes. if not, you''re just an idiot." Yu Long said while looking down at Xuanyuan Yufeng.


    Well, Ling Kun deserved to die anyway. If he didn''t fall today, he would use everything he had to put down others.


    Yu Long walked past Xuanyuan Yufeng and went to the Sword Management Terrace.


    "AAAAAAAAH!!" Xuanyuan Yufeng cried and mmed her hand on the ground. She hated this world.


    Why can''t she be strong enough to decide her own fate?


    Why can''t she be more beautiful?


    Why can''t she have such a husband like Yu Long? A man who cared about his wife, even in the face of death.


    She hates it, hates it to her very bones!


    "Do you want power?" An ethereal voice whispered. It was a devilish yet charming voice.


    Xuanyuan Yufeng lifted her head and saw a white-haired female ghost hovering in the air.


    "I can give you power... But ites with a price." Said the ghostly figure.


    "Give it to me."


    "Give me power!"


    "Fufu, very well." The ghostly figure giggled. "I will loan you some power, but first. You may sleep and awaken anew."


    And with that, Xuanyuan Yufeng was knocked out cold.


    "What a fine specimen. Nothing is better than a desperate woman." The ghostly figure bursts into a green me and enters Xuanyuan Yufeng''s body.


    "This will be my gift for him~!"


    ...


    Yu Long arrived at the Sword Management Terrace and frowned at this sight before him.


    "What''s the meaning of this?" His indifferent voice sends a chill down everyone''s spine.

    --- Chapter 141 ---


    "What''s the meaning of this?"


    Xia Qingyue, Cang Yue, and Chu Yueli are fighting against the elders of Four Great Sacred Grounds. Of course, they are doing alright because of their mastery over the profound aspect and deep foundation.


    Chu Yuechan is not far away, freezing an armless Fen Juechen and dying Sikong Du, who has a spear impaled on his chest.


    The Frozen Cloud Asgard''sdies are helping Chu Yuechan, preventing these two young men from dying.


    It was a mess.


    "What happened?" Yu Long shed to Chu Yuechan''s side and tappedFen Juechen''s freezing shoulder, transferring Yang(Life)''s Energy and healing power from the Great Way of Buddha.Chu Yuechan stopped freezing Fen Juechen''s excessive bleeding and answered Yu Long''s question, "These people appeared out of nowhere and started questioning everyone."


    "At first, it was quite civil, but one suddenly attacked Xia Qingyue after he knew she had a connection with you and from the Lost Heaven Sect." She clenched her hand hard.


    Yu Long facepalmed and whispered coldly, "Those fossils are not taking me seriously. After I struck their pride slightly, they probably thought of repaying me and wanting Xia Qingyue to threaten me."


    Meanwhile, Fen Juechen''s condition improved, and hisplexion was no longer pale. His cut arms showed signs of regenerating. It disys just how powerful Yu Long''s healing ability is.


    Fen Juechen grunted painfully, "M-Milord..."


    Yu Long nced at Fen Juechen and replied, "Go sleep. I will handle the rest."


    "W-What about Sikong Du?"


    "He will be fine."


    "T-Thank you." Fen Juechen gratefully said before fainting on the spot. His body shutting itself down for better recovery.


    "Howpassionate..." Chu Yuechan mumbled.


    Yu Long smiled and treated Sikong Du as well, pulling the spear out of his chest. Sikong Du coughed a mouthful of clogged blood and also fainted on the spot, but his condition improved rapidly.


    "Stay here and protect them." Yu Long instructed Chu Yuechan.


    "Understood!" Chu Yuechan nodded, bringing Song of the Broken Pine from its sheath. She was ready to fight for her young master.


    "The same goes for you four." Yu Long added for the Frozen Cloud Asgard''sdies.


    Murong Qianxue and others could only nod. They wanted to help Yu Long, but they knew their limit. With their current level, they would only be a burden for him.


    ''Are you going to ughter these rats now?'' Jasmine''s voicees into Yu Long''s mind. ''Hmph, this princess doesn''t mind helping you with the price of your hand-made desserts.''


    "No," Yu Long answered immediately. "I don''t need your help to deal with these small fries."


    [Art of Violet Mist - Domain Expansion: Cruel Cloud, Purple Heaven] Yu Long''s chest let a soft hum, and a violet light expanded from his heart.


    The violet light is like an ocean wave, spreading to all corners of the Sword Management Terrace.


    "Anyone who moves the next second will be burned to ashes..." Yu Long''s golden eyes gained a purple ring. He looks like a tyrant who ruled the domain with an iron fist.


    His voice is the celestial decree.


    Xia Qingyue, Cang Yue, and Chu Yueli awkwardly froze on the spot. But one could see a smile blooming behind their veils.


    Contrary to Xia Qingyue and two others'' awkward reactions, the elders of Four Great Sacred Grounds still moved. They frowned and stared at Yu Long not far away, shaking their heads.


    "Brat, you might have caught everyone off guard earlier. But this great me hasn''t used my full strength!" Said the elder who had thrown a spear at Yu Long earlier.


    "And what makes you think I used my full strength?" Yu Long mocked with a smirk. "Just die, you fossil."


    BOOM!


    The elder exploded into fiery ashes.


    Domain Expansion is a technique one could implement upon reaching a higher mastery of their profound art.


    Xia Qingyue has one rted to her [Ocean Quake Symbols].


    Cang Yue has one rted to her modified [Monarch Heart Secret Art].


    Yu Long''s [Art of Purple Violet] also has one, which has the extreme effect of controlling Yang Energy in an absolute manner. He could bend and shape Yang Energy to his will, creating fire andbusting one''s body like fuel.


    Of course, no one could feel the difference because Yu Long controlled Yang Energy very well, and nothing had changed physically.


    The death of that elder was a waking-up rm for every elder in the area.


    "This is..."


    "How could he cause his enemy to explode with just words??"


    "Insane, the world has be insane!"


    "Is the Lost Heaven Sect that powerful? How could I have never heard about this monster?"


    Yu Long didn''t show mercy and stared at the people who joined hands with the now-ashes elder. He killed them with the same method, making everyone in the area shiver in fear.


    ''I didn''t even bother to extract their essence. I don''t want to sully [Kaiju Maker].'' Yu Long thought emotionlessly.


    Is this the power of the Lost Heaven Sect''s young leader?


    "What the hell happened here?!" A shout of surprise entered the field. It came from the center of Sword Management Terrace, or more precisely, the Heaven''s Might Soul Suppressing Formation.


    Long Gang, the elder of Absolute Monarch Sanctuary, looked at the piles of ashes in horror. He noticed half of the elders that came to the Heavenly Sword Vi had gone!


    At the same time, Yu Long also appeared again.


    "Something is not right." Said the elder from the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region beside Long Gang.


    "You, exin." He pointed to an elder from the Sun Moon Divine Hall.


    The elder grimaced and was about to open his mouth when Yu Long suddenly cut them off.


    "Don''t bother. I killed those elders." Yu Long said casually. "They dared toy their dirty hands on my people."


    Long Gang was speechless.


    And more so to the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region''s elder. He couldn''t believe his ears again.


    Fending Yun Canghai is already a huge feat, but killing 7 or 8 monarch-level experts in a minute is something else. Even though these monarch-level experts are weaker than Mighty Heavenly Sword Region''s upper echelons, they are still at early-stage Sovereign Profound Realm.


    "Sword Jue, it seems that slimy bastard wanted to use our absence and attack those youngdies for revenge against Young Hero Yu Long." Long Gang said with a dark expression.


    He also couldn''t help but curse at those foolish elders'' stupidity. Can''t they understand their act will lead to their own demise?!


    Yu Long is from the Lost Heaven Sect. A new faction they just knew, yet a young monster like him was born there.


    As an elder, Long Gang thought these people would be cautious and act ordingly. But no! Their stupidity has no bounds.


    Xuanyuan Jue, the elder of the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region, stared at Yu Long silently. "You know the consequence of attacking the Four Great Sacred Grounds, right?"


    "Xuanyuan Jue!" Long Gang stared at the elder with a disbelieving look. At first, he thought Xuanyuan Jue was trying to calm the situation, so why would he start with such a sentence?


    Xuanyuan Jue is trying to intimidate Yu Long.


    Yu Long unexpectedly grinned, "So what?"


    "They touched my people first." He knew just how prideful a cultivator can be. Attack one, and one thousande to avenge that person a momentter.


    One might think Yu Long will be in a better light by repelling the Demon King Yun Canghai away from Heavenly Sword Vi. It only took one ''bad'' impression to offend these prideful cultivators.


    "I''ve said it earlier... I can kill him, and I would if you pushed me far enough." Yu Long gave Xuanyuan Jue a mocking gaze.


    "What are you going to do about it? Attack me?"


    "What about going to war? My Lost Heaven Sect is happy to face your Mighty Heavenly Sword Region, and let''s see who will fall first..."


    Bold!


    Very bold!


    Everyone stared at Yu Long like he was a madman. How could he dere war against one of the Four Great Sacred Grounds this easily?


    Well, Yu Long wasn''t and will never be a pushover.


    ''Why wait for the enemy to attack when you can start first?'' Yu Long was confident with his factions. He has prepared for nearly ten years to conquer the Blue Pole Star.


    "W-War? Young Hero, your joke is not funny at all, haha..." Long Gangughed bitterly.


    "It''s not a joke." Xuanyuan Jue unknowingly felt fear of the unknown.


    "He''s serious when saying that."


    "Yeah, Let''s start a War!" Yu Long added boldly.


    "..." Long Gang gulped, finding Yu Long impossible to read.


    "What do you think?" Yu Long stared at Xuanyuan Jue.


    Xuanyuan Jue gritted his teeth, "Just you wait. I will get the end of this when I return to the holynd."


    After that, Xuanyuan Jue left the Sword Management Terrace.


    ''Hmph, no balls.'' Yu Long sneered inwardly.


    As Xuanyuan Jue left, Yu Long moved his gaze to Long Gang.


    "Anyway, why did you find it?"


    Long Gang shook his head and replied, "Barely anything. We still don''t know how the Demon King escaped the seal, but there is a sign of the Heaven''s Might Soul Suppressing Formation weakened from inside."


    "Maybe the Demon King has be stronger using unorthodox methods."


    "I see..." Yu Long feigns ignorance. After all, he was the one who modified and weakened the formation.


    Long Gang gave Yu Long a bitter smile, "I''m sorry for Xuanyuan Jue''s acts earlier. I, the elder of Absolute Monarch Sanctuary, wouldn''t hold you ountable for those deaths."


    "They offended you first, and you have the right to defend your people."


    "So their death is well deserved."


    "But you might want to be cautious from now on. You have offended the Sun Moon Divine Hall and Supreme Ocean Pce by burning those elders to ashes today."


    "They are narrow-minded and do things over the top."


    "They can try." Yu Long responded straightforwardly.


    "There is nothing wrong with being extra careful." Long Gang bade his farewell and left. The same goes for other elders.


    They didn''t want to stay near Yu Long, fearing he''d kill them as well.


    ...


    A few minutester.


    Yu Long brought the injured backs to their courtyards. The news of Heavenly Sword Vi''s destruction will soon spread over the Blue Wind Empire.


    The Demon King''s escape will make any super factions on the continent wary. Yun Canghai can be anywhere, waiting for his revenge.


    Yu Long and four otherdies arrived on the quiet part of the Heavenly Sword Mountain Range. Yes, this ce is one of the few lucky areas where Yu Long and Yun Canghai didn''t fight.


    They are currently standing before a gate made of coarse rock. And there is a translucent portal in the center of it.


    "Next, the Heaven Basin Secret Realm." Yu Long said, leading his group into the portal.

    Chapter 145: Heaven Basin Secret Realm, Werewolves?

    --- Chapter 142 ---


    Upon entering the Heaven Basin Secret Realm, what greeted Yu Long and hispanions was a pure whitend with a heavy hail of icy storm. Even the Snow Region of Extreme Ice, where the Frozen Cloud Asgard stood, wasn''t this exaggerated.


    "Well, this ce is very barren." Yu Longmented.


    Chu Yueli and Chu Yuechan stared at the empty sight before them. Even they felt this secret realm was a little too empty. "The coldness is very different than the Snow Region of Extreme Ice." The sisters thought simultaneously.


    They couldn''t get their hands on it.


    Xia Qingyue tapped her shoes against the ground and scanned the surroundingnd. Her eyes twinkled as shemented, "My tremor doesn''t sense any living being in a hundred-mile radius."


    "But... I did sense an area with a higher potency of profound strength.""Where is it?" Cang Yue curiously asked.


    Xia Qingyue pointed her finger to the west, "There."


    "All we have to do is move forward."


    "What are we waiting for then?" Yu Long said with a small smile.


    They flew to the west and discovered the hail became more violent as they approached the center. Weirdly, Yu Long''s [Profound Sense] and [Insect King''s Vision] allowed him to see a vague lump of profound energy ahead.


    Yu Long knew something wasn''t right, and the same goes for others.


    "This ce is creepy." Cang Yue murmured beside Yu Long. She wanted to use her irvoyance and see a few moments into the future, but something was preventing her from doing so.


    It feels like walking in a mist.


    Chu Yuechan narrowed her eyes and looked around warily. It was not her first time visiting the Heaven Basin Secret Realm, and she knew the secret realm''s situation changed every time it opened.


    It could be a burning desert, wild forest, or snowy stornd like this. The worst is definitely the snowy stornd because of the limited sight and dangerous, unventurednd of stormy hail.


    "Something is waiting for us." Xia Qingyue''s eyes gazed ahead. "And it''s quite strong."


    "I can see it as well." Yu Long chuckled.


    "But let''s see what kind of surprise awaits us."


    As they arrived at the center of the secret realm, a snowy mountain stood. It''s your typical ''huge'' mountain. It''s massive, with spikes of ciers all around it!


    Rumble! Rumble!


    The ground shook violently, causing Yu Long and others to be curious about being on or maybe in the mountain.


    BOOM!


    An eruption of cold energy happened. A snowy light blue liquid erupted from the top of the mountain,ing down like flowingva and sweeping the area around rapidly.


    However, instead of burning everything, it was freezing everything.


    Yes, even the profound energy.


    Such a principle is simr to the [Ice Phoenix God Investiture Canon] principle, which used the extremew of water to freeze everything.


    "Young Master, leave this to me." Chu Yueli said while stepping up.


    "Go on." Yu Long nodded in like-mindedness, very confident in Chu Yueli''s ability. Her [Chronicle of Frozen Worlds] should have reached a high mastery.


    Although Chu Yueli joined the group a littleter, she was no weaker than Hong Guan and Lily.


    Chu Yueli stared at the iing flow of freezing liquid and released an intense chill from her body. Unlike Chu Yuechan, Chu Yueli epted an altered version of the Phoenix God''s bloodline, which suited her cultivation technique.


    [Chronicle of Frozen World - Niflheim]


    Like a flower blooming, Chu Yueli transformed herself into that of an ice goddess. She stretched her hand, and a snowy battle dress covered her graceful figure. The dress has flower patterns, with fuzzy-haired ck stems and white cotton-like petals.


    "Hazy Snow Flower..." Chu Yuechan''s eyes widened as she recognized the flower immediately.


    Back then, two young girls ran from horrible people into a snowy forest and entered the Snow Region of Extreme Ice in an act of survival.


    They are weak, having no power to walk or fend themselves against the wild beasts. At theirst dying moment, they desperately ate a bunch of wildflowers and received some nutrients from them.


    The flower is called the Hazy Snow Flower. Its stem is deadly bitter but nutritious enough and can make one''s body warm. They squeeze the cotton-like flowers into a small nket, giving them weak resistance toward the extreme cold.


    Chu Yueli sped her hand and created two artifacts. The first is a square shield with a mirror-like body, and the other is a two-meter-longnce with a blue ice shaft and white spearhead.


    [Chronicle of Frozen World - The Brave''s First Step]


    Chu Yueli stomped the ground and soared to the sky. She looked down and threw her spear with significant force.


    SWOOSH! BOOM!


    A sonic boom was ''instantly'' created.


    The spear cut through the hail storm and made contact with the flowing freezing liquid. Both are extremely cold, but Chu Yueli''s was way more powerful.


    Like the Hazy Snow Flower, tendrils burst off the ground and wrap around the erupting mountain like the stems. Several cotton-like flowers created from pure coldness and profound energy immediately sealed everything in cold blue ice.


    Yu Long looked at this and nodded in satisfaction. Chu Yueli hasn''t cking off.


    But suddenly, his [Profound Sense] detected an abrupt movement from inside the mountain.


    Xia Qingyue and Cang Yue locked their gazes on the snowy mountain, entering a fighting stance. Even though a bittepared to the two, Chu Yuechan also entered a stance and put Song of Broken Pines in a ''ready attack'' position.


    BOOM!


    A massive creature wed its way out. It was a ten-meter-tall werewolf with shiny blue furs, sharp teeth, killer ws, menacing red eyes, and this weird floating half-ring around its arms.


    ''That...'' Yu Long frowned slightly.


    "A Hybrid?"


    Yu Long knew about the Tyrant Profound Beast who lived in the Heaven Basin Secret Realm. However, this werewolf gives him a mixed signal between a Profound Beast and a Kaiju.


    And from the looks of it, no sign of intelligence was ''actually'' detected from this hybrid. It just moved based on its primal instinct.


    There is only one exnation.


    A Profound Beast and a Kaiju sessfully breed, creating this werewolf.


    AAUUUU~!


    The werewolf let out a howl, causing rumbling sounds all over the Heaven Basin Secret Realm. The ground is trembling heavily, and countless weaker werewolves appear.


    They surrounded Yu Long''s group with salivating mouths.


    "Meat."


    "Meat."


    "Meat~!"


    The hunger in their eyes and mouths is very apparent.


    Yu Long''s golden eyes lit up, "Interesting."


    These werewolves gave Yu Long more information about [Kaiju Maker]''s extended use.


    These werewolves aren''t that powerful as they possessed Spirit Profound Realm''s cultivation base, besides some ''special'' cases, which showed a caste within the pack.


    An ordinary werewolf is only two meters and in the middle stage of Spirit Profound Realm.


    The second level of the werewolf is five meters, possessing the power of early-stage Earth Profound Realm. They are also only 10% of the pack.


    The third level of the werewolf is eight meters. They are on the peak of Earth Profound Realm, with some at the Sky Profound Realm, but only made up 1% of the pack.


    And finally, the werewolf king.


    Yu Long gazed at the howling werewolf at the mountain''s foot. It was a force of nature over ten meters tall with bulging muscles. On top of that, its overall strength is half-step Sovereign Realm.


    "Yu Long, what should we do?" Cang Yue asked.


    Yu Long rubbed his chin, "Kill them all."


    "Okay." Cang Yue summoned her Dancing Snake.


    The same goes for Xia Qingyue, who was ready to break these werewolves with her [Ocean Quake Symbols].


    Chu Yuechan didn''t say much as she was ready to attack with the heavy sword.


    "Yueli, can you handle the big boy?" Yu Long yelled at the hovering maid in the sky.


    Chu Yueli smiled, "Yes!"


    She was excited because this was her time to show off in front of Yu Long.


    Yu Long pped his hand, "Go!"


    The fourdies moved simultaneously and left a sonic boom, charging at their enemy. Yu Long stayed behind and observed the surroundings calmly.


    The situation was too suspicious.


    ''The Heaven Basin Secret Realm only opens every three years. But I''ve never heard a report about a hybrid or unknown creature in thest Blue Wind Ranking Tournament?''


    ''We also couldn''t sense their presence earlier, as if they have adapted to the Profound Sense, tremor, and biological senses. A species with hunting ability.''


    ''This means the werewolves are breeding at such a high speed. Since thest opening of the secret realm, they have reached such a massive amount...'' Yu Long thought to himself.


    From afar, two pairs of beastly yellow eyes gazed at Yu Long coldly.

 Chapter 146: Santa Cruzz

    Chapter 146: Santa Cruzz


    I have added this fanfic to my P4treon Page. You can support me and read advanced chapters there. It motivate me to write more chapters for you guys!


    Link: /NineClouds69


    --- Chapter 143 ---


    BOOM!


    Xia Qingyue pped the iing werewolf. Although her slender hand didn''t touch the enemy, the air rapidly broke and swept everything in extreme tremor.


    Cang Yue ran through the enemy line and bashed anyone in her path with three-sectioned staff. Her sheer physical prowess caused a sonic boom one after another.


    Chu Yuechan shed her enemy with the Song of Broken Pines. The heavy sword jigged through her swordy, making it look like two individuals danced on the pure whitend.


    At the front line, Chu Yueli shed with the werewolf king andunched countless ice spears toward it. Her attack is like a hail storm but fiercer with extreme destruction prowess.


    It makes the werewolf king look like a porcupine.Chu Yueli had the upper hand, but she felt something was slightly off. She nced at her young master and discovered he was still standing in his original position, observing the area around him.


    AU!


    The werewolf king ignored his bloody injury and lunged toward Chu Yueli, jumping toward the sky with a ferocious grin.


    Chu Yueli knitted her brows and coldly said, "Stay put, little puppy, or I will make you experience even worse death."


    However, the werewolf king moved based on its beastly instinct. It doesn''t care about Chu Yueli''s warning.


    "What the..." Chu Yueli''s eyes widened in surprise.


    AUUUU!


    As the werewolf king howled loudly, three exact copies of him appeared and cornered Chu Yueli. Each possessed 90% of the werewolf king''s strength.


    They were his clones!


    [Chronicle of Frozen World - The Brave''s Kind Shield]


    A cotton-like barrier appeared around Chu Yueli, protecting her from the werewolf kings'' attack.


    BOOOM! Crack!


    "Hoh, cloning ability as well?" Yu Long, who watched the fight, was interested in the werewolf king''s ability.


    He observed the werewolf king from the beginning so he could notice the fluctuation of profound energy and biological matter. Those clones of the werewolf king possessed tangible, living bodies.


    Moreover, the clones were ''actually'' connected to the main body like a hivemind.


    Yu Long couldn''t help but guess what kind of Kaiju sessfully entered the Heaven Basin Secret Realm and created this mess. He rubbed his chin and nced around, scanning the countless werewolves that his wives and maids ughtered.


    These werewolves had this weak brand that Yu Long finally recognized.


    ''Ah, so that was it...'' Yu Long smirked inwardly.


    ''You crafty fox, do you really think I won''t notice this small trick?''


    Chu Yueli released another hail of ice spears and sted in all directions, pushing the werewolf king''s clones away. She was annoyed because this little puppy caught her off guard for a second.


    "Not in front of the young master..." Her eyes be colder.


    Chu Yueli''s presence caused an intense chill. She shed to one of the werewolf king''s clones, freezing it into an ice statue.


    Crack! BOOM!


    The ice statue exploded into countless ice shards.


    "Next." Chu Yueli''s emotionless voice was ''thoroughly''ced with murderous intent.


    Chu Yueli moved like a fleeting ghost and finished the clones too quickly for the werewolf king to react. When the howling beast realizes his clones have gotten killed, Chu Yueli appears before his eyes.


    Chu Yueli smacked the werewolf king''s head with her mirror-like shield, sending him flying to the mountain. She stretched her hand and sent even more hail of ice spears down.


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    The bombardment left otherdies and Yu Long speechless.


    "Damn, she really hates that little puppy, huh?" Cang Yue blurted while smashing a random werewolf into a meat paste.


    Xia Qingyue peeked at Cang Yue and rolled her eyes, "You shouldn''t be the one saying that."


    "Sister." Chu Yuechan struck the Song of Broken Pines to the ground and gazed at Chu Yueli silently. Now she realized the gap between her and her sister was actually this big.


    However, Chu Yuechan immediately shook her head. The time Chu Yueli spent with Yu Long was longer than her, so it was reasonable for Chu Yueli to possess this much strength.


    At the same time, Yu Long gathered the scattered essence left behind by the werewolf king''s clones. His [Kaiju Maker] detected a trace of Essence Sphere from it.


    "Gotcha." Yu Long said with a grin. He created an Essence Sphere with the essence of the werewolf king''s clones, infusing it with his overflowing vitality andcing it with some extra poisons.


    AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUU!


    The surrounding werewolves let out a painful howl. They are bleeding from all seven orifices, falling to the ground like a dying dog.


    It includes the werewolf king, who kneeled on the ground and spewed a mouthful of blood. His icy blue furs have turned sickly white due to the loss of vitality and an ice blue spear stabbing his chest.


    Yes, Chu Yuely stood before the very eyes of the werewolf king and pinned him down with her ice spear.


    "It''s time for you toe out." Yu Long ignored the dying werewolves around him.


    "Do you really think this pitiful trick could fool me?"


    "Santa Cruzz."


    KIIIIIIIING!!


    A metal screeching sound echoed all over the Heaven Basin Secret Realm.


    SWOOOOSH! BOOM!


    A massive silhouette broke through the hail storm andnded near Yu Long, causing dirt and snow to fly everywhere.


    "Kekeke~!!"


    A giant body.


    A pair of yellow eyes.


    He has fuzzy, unkempt golden hair.


    He wore a tattered red jacket and pants, carrying a red sack.


    The Kaiju is tall and muscr, but not in a way. He was grotesque-looking with warped bones and body shape. It was something that came from children''s nightmare of the Christmas Spirit.


    Yu Long looked up at the giant, shaking his head.


    Santa Cruzz, or the Nightmare Harbinger, is a Kaiju that Yu Long''s past life created upon a twisted image of Santa us. He was nightmare fuel for his enemy, capable of breeding countless spawns by devouring any lifeform.


    The spawns Santa Cruzz carried his Essence Sphere''s powers, which granted them abilities like cloning, presence erasure, and many other enhancements.


    And from the state of these werewolves, Yu Long has far guessed the werewolf king was part of Santa Cruzz''s spawns.


    Santa Cruzz is not the strongest Kaiju, but he was definitely an annoying one to deal with. First, it was because of Santa Cruzz''s ability and others for his mental disorder.


    "It''s been a while." Yu Long stared at the red-clothed giant.


    "Kekeke~! Santa Cruzzughed with drool all over his mouth.


    BOOM!


    They suddenly moved andunched an attack.


    Yu Long''s fist met with Santa Cruzz''s giant foot.


    BAM!


    Santa Cruzz was ''quickly'' sent flying by Yu Long, crashing against the snowy mountain. Thankfully, Chu Yueli has left the mountain''s peak, or she could get dragged into this fight.


    "KEKEKE!"


    "GIFT, GIFT, GIFT!"


    As Santa Cruzz flew from Yu Long''s punch, he wed into his red sacks and threw a few things out.


    Yu Long blinked and saw several boxes wrapped in ribbons. However, the boxes and ribbons aren''t your typical-looking Christmas gifts as the boxes were ''literally'' made of flesh and bones, and the ribbons were bloody intestines.


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! SPLATS!


    "What annoying ability." Yu Long knew nothing good would happen if these gifts were ''sessfully'' unboxed. He couldn''t help but curse his past self for making this kind of creature.


    If the boxes are unwrapped, a horror-looking mutated beast wille out. The beasts will adapt to their enemy, bing their little archnemesis.


    Yu Long could handle one or two hundred mutated beasts resistant to him. But Yu Long had to face a million of them. God knew how annoying they could be.


    "KAKAKA!" Santa Cruzzughed with ttered teeth.


    Yu Long sped his hand and used [Art of Violet Mist], sending extreme heat waves that burned Santa Cruzz''s Christmas Gifts into ashes.


    He cornered the red-clothed giant and repelled any tricking toward him, making the Kaiju frustrated.


    Santa Cruzz was ''truly'' left with no choice. He brought the red sack down and opened it wide, revealing a mouth filled with yellow teeth and deformed lips.


    "Santa''s Miracle~!!"


    "Merry Christmas~!!!"


    A bright yellow light greeted Yu Long.


    Xia Qingyue, Cang Yue, Chu Yueli, and Chu Yuechan felt instinctual fearing from the direction of the fight. Their bodies trembled as if the yellow light sucked their souls.


    "NO! YU LONG!"


    "YOUNG MASTER!"


    BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!


    A terrifying explosion swept the Heaven Basin Secret Realm, causing the whole secret realm to shake violently, and a portion of the realm where Yu Long and Santa Cruzz fight was pletely'' destroyed.


    "Kekeke-! COUGH!" Santa Cruzzughs maniacally.


    Yet a purple skeleton arm suddenly grabbed his neck and crushed it.


    Yu Long stood on a snowy ground, his ck hair dancing due to turbulent air and shockwaves. A violet-colored skeleton wolf is currently wrapped around his body, making him look like a certain member of Ninja n.


    [Art of Violet Mist - Divine Avatar: Sekiro]


    COUGH!


    Santa Cruzz coughed a mouthful of blood. He stared at Yu Long with fear and then died.


    "Rest in peace, my dark past." Yu Long said while closing his eyes for a bit.


    He walked to Santa Cruzz and sensed a familiar presence beside the Essence Sphere. A blue-colored pebblees into his vision.


    "Evil God''s Water Seed..." Yu Long bitterly smiled.


    "Well, I''m not surprised."

 Chapter 147: Evil Gods Scattered Will

    Chapter 147: Evil God''s Scattered Will


    I have added this fanfic to my P4treon Page. You can support me and read advanced chapters there. It motivate me to write more chapters for you guys!

    --- Chapter 144 ---


    Yu Long picked the icy-blue pebble with his mental power and scanned it briefly to make sure this thing was really the Evil God''s Water Seed. He grinned slightly after feeling the hidden ''Law of Water'' within the ordinary-looking rock.


    He nced at the dead Kaiju and sighed slightly. It would be a lie if Yu Long didn''t feel somewhat nostalgic upon meeting Santa Cruzz.


    However, he was also relieved to meet the Kaiju with mental disorders in the Heaven Basin Secret Realm instead of outside. He couldn''t imagine what kind of chaos Santa Cruzz would bring to the Blue Pole Star.


    Yu Long was more curious how Santa Cruzz entered the Heaven Basin Secret Realm or the Kaiju was simply here from the beginning, sleeping until it awakened.


    ''Fortunately, I have someone to answer my question.'' Yu Long nced down at the Evil God''s Water Seed.


    Yu Long tapped Santa Cruzz''s body and turned it into a wisp of essence, storing it forter use. He looked around for a second, searching for a betternding ground, and quickly kicked the ground.He teleported ten miles away at the time, skipping through destroyednd until hended on untouched snowy ground.


    "Yu Long!" Xia Qingyue and Cang Yue moved quickly from afar, hugging Yu Long. They tackled him down in the process, leaving him speechless.


    Still, Yu Long carefully patted their backs as they should have been worried about him earlier.


    Santa Cruzz''sst attack was the umtion of horror, which could strip one''s flesh, bone, and blood apart. The light itself could damage one''s psyche, in other words, the soul.


    Given the state of this chaotic world, Yu Long always prepared for this situation.


    "There, there." He rubbed their backs gently.


    "As you can see, I''m fine. Thest attack couldn''t even touch me."


    "Really?" Xia Qingyue probed.


    "Really, really." Yu Long nodded confidently.


    Chu Yueli and Chu Yuechan also arrived, but they didn''t do anything to stop them. They stared at them silently from the side. After reassurance, the trio stood up and checked the secret realm''s condition.


    "Good job, Yueli, Yuechan." Yu Long praised while looking at the piles of werewolf''s corpses.


    Chu Yuechan smiled and felt a little proud inside. She''s not as strong as her sister, but Yu Long''s praise was all she needed.


    It was like an endless motivation cycle.


    Meanwhile, Chu Yueli was depressed. She couldn''t help butin at the dead werewolf king for letting Yu Long catch hercking in the fight.


    ''I should train more.'' Chu Yueli sighed at herself.


    Cang Yue rubbed Yu Long''s hand and asked, "What should we do with these corpses?"


    Her eyes lit up with yful emotion.


    Yu Long chuckled and snapped his finger, extracting all the essence from the werewolves. Technically speaking, they are a new living creature with Santa Cruzz''s essence as the base, which allowed Yu Long to obtain some nifty abilities.


    A white mist swept thend, swallowing the corpses, and disappeared.


    Jasmine blinked inside Sky Poison Pearl''s dimension. She used her divine sense, trying to pry into Yu Long''s secret.


    Yet when Jasmine was about to sense where the essence goes, it disappeared into nothingness.


    "Y-You..." Jasmine was annoyed.


    She harrumphed and rolled herself in a nket.


    Jasmine knew Yu Long had a deep connection with the Demonic Core, but she didn''t want to be one who asked. As a princess, Jasmine has a pride to hold on to.


    Since Yu Long won''t tell his secret, Jasmine could only silently solve the mystery herself. At first, it was only the Fairy Queen, but now Jasmine realizes her understanding of Yu Long is very little.


    ''Hmph, just you wait. I will find the truth!'' Jasmine thought to herself.


    Yu Long condensed the Essence Sphere of werewolves inside his Kaiju World. He wanted to swallow one for research purposes but knew this wasn''t the ce for doing such a thing.


    Their time in the Heaven Basin Secret Realm is limited.


    He brought out the Evil God''s Water Seed and aroused hispanions'' interest.


    "Is that?" Xia Qingyue''s eyes glimmered in surprise.


    "Yes, this is the Evil God''s Water Seed." Yu Long answered with a smile.


    "Only Evil God''s inheritor could get their hand on this if we followed normal standards."


    "But you''re not normal." Cang Yue giggled.


    "That''s true."


    Yu Long acknowledged and imbued the altered Evil God''s profound aspect inside his Profound Veins into the Evil God''s Water Seed.


    It caused the blue-colored pebble to release a shining blue light and a ghost-like figure.


    Jasmine gasped because the ghost-like figure was the Evil God himself!


    How did Jasmine recognize such an ancient character? To answer that question, when she roamed in the vast Primal Chaos and found the Evil God''s Legacy Temple, there was a faint image of the Evil God.


    "How long time has passed?" The ghost-like Evil God murmured. He looked around and found the situation rather amusing.


    These youths(Chu Yuechan and Chu Yueli included) possessed a trace of Primordialws in their bodies, hearts, and spirits. Even in the Primordial Era of Gods, their existence is quite rare.


    Eventually, the Evil Godnded his gaze on Yu Long.


    Evil God couldn''t help but narrow his eyes.


    What he saw wasn''t a golden-eyed youth but an amalgamation of countless creatures. It was abnormal, something that''s not from this world.


    "You, what are you?" He uttered in disbelief.


    Instead of asking, "Who are you?" the Evil God portrayed Yu Long as an abnormal monstrosity by asking, "What are you."


    Yu Long gave Evil God a knowing look and answered, "My name is Yu Long. Nice to meet you, Evil God."


    Evil God frowned because that wasn''t the answer he wanted from Yu Long. "Do those creatures have a connection with you?" He asked while ncing at the destroyed part of the Heaven Basin Secret Realm.


    "In the past, yes." Yu Long shrugged, giving out a vague reply.


    The atmosphere became heavier as the Evil God turned silent like a rock.


    "..." Jasmine''s mouth twitched.


    Oy, that''s one of four CREATION GOD, THE EVIL GOD! GIVE HIM SOME FUCKING RESPECT!


    If Jasmine could shout, she would have screamed at Yu Long. This scoundrel is so good at making people mad.


    Yu Long smiled at Evil God''s stone-cold expression. "I don''t mind telling you more, but don''t you think this ce is inappropriate?"


    Evil God nodded calmly and twisted the Heaven Basin Secret Realm with his will. The secret realm changed rapidly, and the destroyed part got cast into the void.


    Yu Long witnessed this and praised the Evil God in his heart. Although Evil God is only a scattered will, he could still manipte the Heaven Basin Secret Realm to such a degree.


    Unfortunately, Yu Long doesn''t think he could replicate Yuyan''s rebirth on Evil God due to some weakness in the scattered will. It was so fragile yet strong at the same, very unstable.


    It was a miracle Evil Gods scattered will survive this long. But when Yu Long thought about it, Evil God probably held on because he had unfinished regret or business rted to his daughter.


    After a few seconds, Evil God''s scattered will pull them into a mountain peak.


    Evil God and Yu Long arrived on a pure whitend, staring at each other calmly. No one could eavesdrop on their conversation in this ce, including Jasmine.


    "What are you?" Evil God asked again.


    Yu Long maintained a calm expression and replied, "Kaiju Maker."


    "Kaiju Maker?"


    "I''m the one who created that monstrosity earlier. But as I''ve said earlier, that was me in the past before reincarnating into the Primal Chaos."


    Evil God''s ghostly eyes widened in shock.


    "Y-You... You''re an otherworlder??"


    "On top of that, you reincarnated to this world?"


    "T-This is unbelievable."


    "I mean, you can decide not to trust me." Yu Long added casually.


    Evil God shook his head and responded, "No, I trust you."


    "And how so?"


    "In my era, the Creation Gods and Devil Gods always spected about the Primal Chaos. Even if it was dangerous, we wanted to pry more outside the Primal Chaos."


    "Our curiosity is too endless and coupled with our long lifespans. We are bound to find one or two clues."


    "We concluded there must be other universes and worlds out there. Still, wecked the power and tools to travel. Even one of Heavenly Profound Treasure, World Piercer, couldn''t do it."


    "How did you reincarnate into Primal Chaos?" Evil God observed Yu Long from top to bottom. "I sensed some Karmic and Samsara power on you."


    Yu Long facepalmed helplessly, "About that? I don''t know either."


    "I died in my previous world. Then I reincarnated into my current self."


    "It just happened. As soon as I opened my eyes..."


    "As for the karmic and samsara power, it probably has something to do with the Mirror of Samsara in my possession. Also, Sky Poison Pearl."


    Evil God stared at Yu Long solemnly, "I see."


    "What about your Kaiju Maker?"


    Yu Long released a majestic presence, "It''s my ability. Or you can say, part of myself."


    "I''m a Kaiju Maker. And the Kaiju Maker is me."


    Evil God''s ghostly figure glimmered for a second. He tried to understand Yu Long''s words and nodded shortly after.


    He sighed, "Now that you have released your presence, I can detect Phoenix, Azure Dragon, Rage God, and countless other legacies in your body."


    "Including my legacy... You''ve modified it, am I right?"


    "That''s correct. Your legacy is too lousy for my liking." Yu Long chuckled a little.


    Evil God faintlyughed, "If it was any other person saying that, I would be offended... Kaiju Maker, you''re an abnormal monstrosity. Yet I didn''t sense any vile or malicious nature from you."


    "Entrusting my daughter to you wouldn''t be a bad choice."


    "What do you mean?" Yu Long frowned unhappily. He didn''t like where this was going.


    Evil God snapped his finger and showed Yu Long several white, ck, and golden threads connected between them.


    "What are these threads?"


    "They are Karmic Threads."


    "You didn''t notice it, but when you take my legacy(albeit by unorthodox means), your karma is ''automatically'' connected to me."


    "You took my legacy, so you owe me."


    "What?" Yu Long was bewildered.


    There is such a thing?


    Evil God shook his head and continued, "Your power has the potential to surpass me and other Creation Gods. No, you might even be equal to the Ancestral God..."


    "But youcked something."


    "What is it?"


    "Time." Evil God gazed at Yu Long''s golden eyes deeply.


    "I have over 5 billion years on my belts. My power grew within that period."


    "On the other hand, You probably don''t have twenty years to master your ability yet."


    "I... Well, I have noment on that." Yu Long wryly admitted defeat. After all, what Evil God said is correct.


    Including his past life, Yu Long only got his hand on Kaiju Maker for 19 years. Compared to Evil God and others, he''s still young grass.


    At the same, being young doesn''t mean one is weaker.


    ''He''s a goodd.'' Evil God unknowingly smiled when seeing Yu Long introspecting himself. He doesn''t have to be alive to know Yu Long is very young.


    Evil God coughed, "I don''t have much time. I will transfer all knowledge I have as a scattered will."


    "In return, please save and take care of my daughter."


    "Remember, you owe me."


    "..." Yu Long''s eyebrows twitched. What are you, IRS?


    Even then, Yu Long still agreed. "Very well."


    "Good." After hearing the reply, Evil God stretched his ghostly hand and poked Yu Long''s head, transferring everything he knew for Kaiju Maker''s future endeavors.


    Yu Long closed his eyes, storing the knowledge ordingly.


    When he opened his eyes, Evil God''s ghostly figure nearly disappeared.


    "Do you have any more questions?" Yu Long rubbed his forehead, feeling a headache.


    "No, what about you?" Evil God was rxed. He has epted his fate.


    "What caused the Primordial Era of Gods to end?" Yu Long wasn''t shy about it and asked immediately.


    Evil God opened his mouth, "Unfortunately, I don''t know about that. This scattered will was here to give my fated inheritor a second chance..."


    "Although we aren''t fated, you''re a better candidate than I ever imagined."


    "The Primal Chaos won''t be so calm in a few years."


    "Good luck, Kaiju Maker. I hope you can fulfill your promise."


    Evil God dramatically faded into thin air.


    "Oy, oy, oy. Don''t disappear like that." Yu Long grabbed Evil God''s ghostly leg down. "I still want something from you."


    "..." Evil God.


    "You have three seconds..." One of the Creation Gods sighed.


    Something isn''t right about thisd''s head.


    Yu Long smiled, "Can you give me the ownership of this Secret Realm?"


    Evil God''s body trembled in annoyance, "If you cultivate a little bit more, you can create a bigger Pocket Dimension of your own..."


    "But I''m toozy to make one..." Yu Long gives Evil God a yful grin.


    Evil God really wanted to smack Yu Long right now. He clicked his tongue and pressed his hand on Yu Long''s forehead again, transferring Secret Realm''s key to him.


    "Goodbye... Kaiju Maker." After doing so, the Evil Godpletely disappeared and caused Yu Long to wake up on a snowy peak.


    Yu Long blinked a few times and sighed, "Aih, even the dead can give me a task? This world is bing more and more interesting."


    "Well, let''s meet the Evil God''s daughter first."

 Chapter 148: Azure Cloud Continent

    Chapter 148: Azure Cloud Continent


    I have added this fanfic to my P4treon Page. You can support me and read advanced chapters there. It motivate me to write more chapters for you guys!


    Link: /NineClouds69


    --- Chapter 145 ---


    Yu Long fiddled with the Heaven Basin Secret Realm for an hour, watching the sky andnd bend miraculously. The feeling of manipting a pocket dimension was much different than he expected.


    It was like ying with y. Of course, in a moreplex way.


    Soft enough to bend ording to your will but will break if you''re not careful.


    On top of that, Yu Long felt there were more options to explore, like how this Heaven Basin Secret Realm has a season cycle of its own. He also could generate terrains like jungles and deserts.


    "How amazing... I wonder if we could go to the beachter." Xia Qingyue watched a sandy beach appear before the snowy mountain.


    "Yeah, the beach looks good for a honeymoon." Cang Yue added shortly after. They are clearly going after Yu Long.Yu Long smiled weakly and replied, "I heard the 13th branch was doing business near a seashore city. Let''s visit the nearest beach resort there after this."


    "Yey~!" Xia Qingyue and Cang Yue pped at their hands, doing a victory celebration.


    Chu Yueli and Chu Yuechan couldn''t help but shake their heads at these youngdies'' antics. Although they are jealous, as older women, they don''t dare to imagine being this ''brazen'' in front of Yu Long.


    ''But resort...'' Chu Yueli thought briefly, imagining a personal time with her young master. ''That doesn''t sound bad.''


    Only Chu Yuechan was puzzled. Before meeting Yu Long, she lived no different than a monk and focused her heart on bing an Emperor Profound Realm.


    Sometimes, Chu Yuechan cultivated in her room for months, if not a year.


    How could monk-like fairy know such a ce as a resort or any mortal-like entertainment?


    But she was interested now.


    Even Jasmine was curious like a cat about this beach resort, wondering how much fun she could have there.


    "Anyway, let''s focus on the task ahead of us." Yu Long brought out the Evil God''s Water Seed, confusing thedies. "Evil God gave me quite a troublesome mission."


    "The Evil God''s Water Seed recorded the coordinates to that ce."


    "That ce?" Thedies gave him a weird look.


    Yu Long chuckled, "Azure Cloud Continent."


    He honestly doesn''t think information helps him. He already knew the location of the Azure Cloud Continent thanks to Shadow Realm''s exploration squad and his Kaiju.


    ...


    A portal appeared on the sandy beach, revealing a sight of the snowy peak where five individuals jumped out. The team of five is very eye-catching.


    One handsome young man and four breathtaking beauties could easily make anyone jealous.


    "Thanks, Uda." Yu Long waved his hand.


    ''Yohoho, it''s nothing~!'' An invisible hand pped Yu Long''s hand and then disappeared into existence.


    Xia Qingyue, Cang Yue, and Chu Yueli have long learned about the Space Walker(Uda)''s existence, but Chu Yuechan and Jasmine were bewildered because a portal appeared out of nowhere.


    And a keen person like Jasmine obviously noticed someone ''invisible'' was helping them. Even with Jasmine''s Divine Sense, she couldn''t sense this ''invisible'' somebody, as if this being existed in another dimension!


    Yu Long stretched and looked at the vastnd before his eyes. He could see countless mountains already.


    "So, this is the Azure Cloud Continent. I''ve heard it from Yu Long, but the situation here wasn''t that bad. Even the Profound Strength''s quality is better than the Blue Wind Imperial City." Cang Yuemented lightly.


    Xia Qingyue''s mouth twitched, "You shouldn''tpare this to your home ground."


    "It''s alright." Cang Yue giggled as she waved her hand. "The Imperial Family will be much better in the future."


    "After all, Yu Long will be the Great Emperor of the Blue Wind Empire!"


    "..." Yu Long.


    "..." Xia Qingyue.


    "..." Chu Yueli.


    "..." Chu Yuechan.


    "..." Jasmine.


    "What? Since I''m the princess of the Blue Wind Empire, isn''t it normal for Yu Long to take over the Emperor''s position? He''s my consort if we talk about technicality..." Cang Yue saw the unfavorable reaction and added immediately.


    "I mean, you''re not wrong." Yu Long scratched his cheek. "But don''t you think me bing an emperor is such a stretch?"


    Cang Yue proudly lifted her nose, "It was just for a brief moment. After that, our children may take your mantle!"


    Damn! Even before they were born, Cang Yue already had an Asian Mother''s mindset.


    "Poor Children." Xia Qingyue shook her head, feeling sorry for Cang Yue''s children. As someone with a bad childhood, Xia Qingyue wanted the best for her future children, though she was only sixteen to think that far.


    Yes, Xia Qingyue doesn''t want her children to experience the same things as her. But that doesn''t mean she would spoil them.


    "Hmm, someone is here." Chu Yuechan gazed at the distance. She could see a ck-clothed man descending from the sky.


    Yu Long and others have long discovered this person. So, they waited here.


    "Lord Shadow!" The ck-clothed man kneeled before Yu Long.


    He also greeted Xia Qingyue and others, "Shadow Brides."


    Yu Long nodded and asked, "How was the situation so far?"


    Hearing the question, the ck-clothed man pulled something from his sleeve and handed it to Yu Long with utmost respect before kneeling again.


    Yu Long gazed at the scroll silently and grabbed it, reading the content for a minute or so. Everyone could see his expression didn''t change until the very end.


    "Have you guys explored the Cloud''s End Cliff?"


    The ck-clothed man trembled as he recalled the horror of Cloud''s End Cliff. "We did." He answered calmly.


    "However, no one came back after entering that ce... Even our connection to their Living Armors were cut off."


    "The causality?"


    "F-Four people so far."


    Yu Long rubbed his temple and sighed, "This is my fault."


    "No, Lord Shadow, this is not your fault-!" The ck-clothed man couldn''t bear to see Yu Long me himself.


    "No, this is really my fault. I should have warned you about dangerous ces in this continent before sending a whole squad..." Yu Long bitterly continued.


    "Just what kind of danger does this Cloud''s End Cliff possess? Four Monarchs killed in the mission?" Chu Yueli couldn''t help butment.


    It sounds ridiculous because she knew the squad Yu Long sent was a group of Sovereign Profound Realm Experts!


    "It''s a ce with arge number of Ancient Devil Beasts. The weak ones, at least at the level of Divine Origin Realms." Yu Long answered calmly.


    Everyone''s eyes widened, including Jasmine.


    "W-Wait, wait, did you just say the Ancient Devil Beasts??" Jasminees out from the Sky Poison Pearl''s dimension.


    She knew just how dangerous these ancient beasts could be, as they also existed in the upper realm, albeit in the forbidden area.


    "Yes." Yu Long remained unfazed. "It''s also a ce where the Evil God left behind his daughter."


    He looked at their shocked expression and added, "Well, don''t be too surprised. To add on, Evil God''s Wife is none other than Heaven Smithing Devil Emperor."


    "WHAT?!" Jasmine screamed in disbelief. Her jaws dropped as she couldn''t believe this information.


    It is too shocking!


    One of the Creation Gods married Heaven Smithing Devil Emperor, the STRONGEST DEVIL OF THE DEVIL RACE!


    This title is no empty talk, as a few ancient records described how powerful Heaven Smithing Devil Emperor was.


    Jasmine gulped, "Y-You, how could you be so calm?"


    Yu Long nced at Jasmine, "It doesn''t matter if my enemies are Gods, Devils, or Buddha themselves. The King of Monsters won''t lose..."


    "Huh?" Jasmine frowned at Yu Long. She couldn''t understand the clue Yu Long had thrown casually.


    It''s up to her now.


    ''I''m the only one with a secret, Jasmine. I can''t help someone who wouldn''t themselves.'' Yu Long burned the scroll in his hand.


    He looked at the ck-clothed man and said, "I''m getting side-tracked, my bad. After the mission, we will hold a proper funeral andpensation to those courageous members."


    "But first, lead us to the temporary base."


    "Yes, Lord Shadow!" The Shadow Agent responded excitedly. He was ''deeply'' touched by Yu Long''s decision and quickly led them into the Shadow Realm''s Base in the Azure Cloud Continent.

 Chapter 149: Azure Cloud Mountains Branch, the Weapon Master Ye Zhi

    Chapter 149: Azure Cloud Mountain''s Branch, the Weapon Master Ye Zhi


    I have added this fanfic to my P4treon Page. You can support me and read advanced chapters there. It motivate me to write more chapters for you guys!


    Link: /NineClouds69


    --- Chapter 146 ---


    As the Shadow Agent led them deep into the mountain, Yu Long and thedies realized they were entering an undergroundwork with severalplicated channels.


    It''s been a few months since these shadow agents arrived at the Azure Cloud Continent under Yu Long''s direct order, but they have already built advanced traveling routes.


    "Hmm, You only gave me the report earlier." Yu Long suddenly opened his mouth. "Why don''t you exin more about the Azure Cloud Continent as we walk."


    The shadow agent was stunned before nodding his eyes. "Then, I will exin more things." He said enthusiastically.


    "By the way, your name?" Chu Yueli asked this time.


    "It''s Han Bing, ma''am!" The shadow agent responded straightforwardly.Chu Yueli''s mouth twitched when she saw how Han Bing responded to her question. She wasn''t a drill sergeant, so what''s with this military-esque response?


    Xia Qingyue and Cang Yue giggled on the side because it was rare for Chu Yueli to get caught off guard like this.


    Han Bing awkwardly dodged Chu Yueli''s gaze and stared at the tunnel ahead. "We have been in the Azure Cloud Continent for a few months and discovered everything that helped Shadow Realm''s growth."


    "Like Profound Sky Continent, we discover super factions like the Four Great Sacred Grounds. Their leaders are at the peak of the Sovereign Profound Realm."


    "They are Heaven Thwarting Sect, Seven Stars Divine Pce, and Soaring Celestial Sword Sect."


    "Below that... Four countries equivalent to the empire in the Profound Sky Continent exist. They are Supwake Country, Southern Sky Country, True Vermillion Country, and Southern Border Holy Land."


    "Supwake Country was located on the far east of Azure Cloud Continent and controlled by the Grandwake n, which lived in the Grandwake Mountain. However, they recently have a conflict with ckwood Stronghold nearby."


    "Southern Sky Country located in the south and was controlled by the Fleeting Sect with a bunch of 2nd-rate factions."


    "True Vermillion Country on the west and was controlled by Divine Fire n alongside three subsidiary factions, such as Preaching Bird n, Fire Python Sect, and Golden Spear Alliance."


    "The Southern Border Holy Land. The country is located in the far north and is unique as the people there are very religious. They have their deity called the Great Wing and Great Eyes, but we couldn''t get our hands on these ''deities'' as the people we kidnapped always killed themselves first."


    "They are zealots... To the very end." The shadow agent sighed in helplessness.


    "That kind of enemy is indeed annoying." Yu Longmented while recalling some bothersome cults in his past lives. Those people are the reason why the world couldn''t be too peaceful.


    "What about the Cloud''s End Cliff?"


    The shadow agent''s expression changed as he answered, "The Cloud''s End Cliff exists in the Mythical Abode Mountain, which was close to the Grandwake Mountain. That ce is rich in spiritual herbs and minerals." "At the same time, the profound beast there is very aggressive. Still, it was nothingpared to our Shadow Legion."


    "We didn''t expect the Ancient Devil Beasts to exist inside Cloud''s End Cliff. No wonder the natives here perceived the ce as the most dangerous area in the Azure Cloud Continent."


    "Also, the poption of Azure Cloud Continent is 70% lower than the Profound Sky Continent. It was so weird, considering the natural resources and profound strength''s quality here is higher. As if this ce advancing slower or maybe lost in time is the correct term."


    "No, you''re not wrong." Yu Long shook his head gently. "This ce is indeed lost in time."


    Thanks to Ancestral God''s power, the Azure Cloud Continent was reset by a few years. Yu Long couldn''t count how many lives were lost to give the protagonist(Yun Che) a third chance, just showing what kind of SIMP Xiao Lingxi(Ancestral God) was.


    It''s frightening how easily a mighty being like Ancestral God toyed with people''s lives. However, Yu Long wasn''t worried because the Ancestral God would join his team(harem) soon.


    "Where is the Shadow Realm''s base located?" Yu Long asked this time.


    The shadow agent smiled and replied proudly, "Of course, it''s on the Grandwake Mountain. We covered ourselves as a second-rate sect called "Thousand Weapons Associations." and formed several good rtionships in just a few months."


    "Everything is on the good path beside the Cloud''s End Cliff..."


    "Don''t worry." Yu Long patted the shadow agent''s shoulder. "I will deal with the Cloud''s End Cliff."


    "Yes, Lord Shadow!" The shadow agent was excited.


    When Lord Shadow moved personally, even Heaven and Earth bent to his will!


    ...


    They finally arrived at the Thousand Weapon Associations. It was a huge castle made of rare rocks and chimneys all over, seemingly spewing smoke one after another.


    The hammering sound and weapon shing echoed throughout the building, surprising Yu Long.


    "I see..." A rare smile bloomed on Yu Long''s face.


    "Ye Zhi was the one who led this legion, huh? I should have guessed it from the name of this cover." He patted his forehead in amusement.


    "Who''s Ye Zhi?" Chu Yuechan couldn''t help but raise her head.


    "Ah, that person is..." Xia Qingyue and Cang Yue awkwardly covered their faces.


    Chu Yueli stared at the castle calmly and answered, "One of the Shadow Realm''s Founders. Code Name, Weapon Master."


    "Weapon Master-?" Before Chu Yuechan could digest the information, a silhouette jumped from the castle andnded before them.


    BOOM!


    A cloud of dust rose, making Chu Yuechan wary as she stepped before Yu Long and drew the Song of Broken Pines out.


    "Hoho, a heavy sword? Not bad." A fair and slender hand stretched out of the dust and grabbed Song of Broken Pines'' de, making Chu Yuechan''s eyes widen in shock.


    "More than forty tons at that. Your technique is actually better than some founders."


    "Who might you possibly be? A beautiful body, graceful figure, and cold fairy-like face."


    "Ah, you''re the Third Shadow Bride''s Sister, Chu Yuechan." A woman finally appeared as the dust settled down.


    However, it wasn''t your typical woman. She''s not your thin and willowy beauty. She wore Shadow Realmbat armor, exposing her muscr physique and ''valiant'' beauty with a touch of femininity. Her ck hair was ''purposely'' short, but not too short, as she had a little ponytail.


    Chu Yuechan frowned as she felt this sweaty woman was the opposite image of herself.


    "Ye Zhi greets the Lord Shadow?" Ye Zhi pushed the Song of Broken Pines away from her face and weed Yu Long warmly. Her smile exploded those pearly white teeth.


    Yu Long chuckled, "I forgot you were part of this mission. Well, it seems you''re doing good here."


    Ye Zhi nodded and returned, "This ce is heaven for cksmiths. It''s too bad old man Gu Wei wasn''t part of the legion this time."


    Chu Yueli gave Ye Zhi a weird look andmented, "Your skill is on par with old man Gu Wei. Why would you need him here?"


    "Oh, nice to meet you, Chu Yueli. Oops, my bad, I mean the third." Ye Zhi shed a grin.


    Chu Yueli''s expression darkened slightly.


    Ye Zhi felt amused after seeing Chu Yueli''s dark expression and casually continued, "My skill might be on par with old man Gu Wei, but our level in art is different."


    "After all, I created a weapon for destruction!"


    Yu Long flicked Ye Zhi''s forehead and said, "Stop it. You''re going to make Chu Yueli attack you at this point."


    "Hehe, I would like to see her do it." Ye Zhi winked at Yu Long. She doesn''t care about Chu Yueli''s position at all.


    "Anyway, let me lead you inside. I have warm beer and snacks prepared."


    As Ye Zhi led everyone inside, Chu Yuechan couldn''t help but peek at her sister. "Why did I feel there was a history between you and her?" She asked with a whisper.


    "That woman was mad at me." Chu Yueli answered indifferently.


    "Eh, how so?"


    "She was mad that I stole her Shadow Bride''s position..."


    "..." Chu Yuechan gulped in realization.


    No wonder Ye Zhi was so fierce.


    ''Hmph! It''s the young master who gave me Shadow Bride''s position, so who are you to meddle with his decision?'' Chu Yueli snorted inside as she didn''t care about Ye Zhi''s hate either.

    --- Chapter 147 ---


    Entering the castle, Yu Long found the interior extended with the space-expanding array. After all, the outeryout didn''t match the room inside, considering they had walked over five hallways and seven stairs.


    "A few months, yet this branch is better than others." Yu Longmented lightly. "As expected of the second cksmith and craftmaster in the Shadow Realm."


    Ye Zhi chuckled and humbly replied, "The Azure Cloud Continent was a treasure trove. Without it, we couldn''t build this base fast enough."


    "Han Bing said that earlier, but just how many resources does Azure Cloud Continent have?" Yu Long couldn''t help but frown.


    Due to the Four Great Sacred Grounds'' rampant monopolization, most natural resources in the Profound Sky Continent have gotten dug out.


    Fortunately, Yu Long possessed [Kaiju Maker] and has done countless research.He can invent better resources through alternative means. Even ordinary grass that everyone uses to feed their livestock is beneficial under Yu Long''s miracle hand.


    "Here, take a look at this." Ye Zhi pulled something from herbat armor and handed it to Yu Long. "We found this growing all over the Grandwake Mountain, and people simply use it to relieve their back pain."


    It was a mushroom with a thin white body and a puffy cloud-like blue head. At first nce, this mushroom looks poisonous.


    "Woah, this thing is amazing." Yu Long activated [Kaiju Maker], observing the mushroom for a second.


    Under Yu Long''s eyes, he discovered the mushroom has an excellent purification property! Of course, the purification effect was ''unfortunately'' buried because the rawness of its property needed to be refined andbined with another catalyst first.


    "We could create a more effective medicinal bath for body tempering."


    "Indeed, but this Blue Filling Mushroom is not the only thing. We foundmany other herbs and resources that didn''t exist in the Profound Sky Continent." Ye Zhi said seriously.


    "Lord Shadow, we need the order to take over the Azure Cloud Continent immediately!"


    "I will lead the legion right away!"


    "Okay, okay, calm your horses." Yu Long sighed, giving Ye Zhi a helpless look. "I will deal with the Cloud''s End Cliff first."


    Ye Zhi''s body stiffened when Yu Long mentioned Cloud''s End Cliff. She gave Han Bing in the back a dirty look, making the shadow agent tremble slightly.


    "This... Lord Shadow knew about the Cloud''s End Cliff already?" She calmly asked.


    Yu Long put on a wry expression, "I did, even before sending you guys here."


    "It''s a dangerous ce, which caused four deaths of ourrades."


    "I bet you tried to enter the ce." He gave Ye Zhi a knowing look.


    Ye Zhi rubbed the back of her neck and replied, "I did. And I almost die there."


    "The ce below the cliff is aplete darkness, a realm of abyss."


    "I encountered several dangerous beasts there. Each stronger than any Sovereign Profound Realm Experts I''ve faced, excluding Lord Shadow and Shadow Brides..." Ye Zhi clenched her fists.


    "Right now, I''m trying to craft a Light-element Weapon."


    "As expected." Yu Long smirked at Ye Zhi. "You don''t give up right away."


    "Shadow Agent''s life shall perish under Lord Shadow only!" Ye Zhi said with a grunt. "How dare those filthy beasts take myrades'' lives? As one of the first Shadow Walkers, I must avenge them."


    After saying that, Ye Zhi''s aura became wild-like, as if a wild beast bared its fangs angrily.


    For a moment, everyone could see an image of a winged ck tiger with golden stripes behind Ye Zhi. The tiger looked so menacing that Chu Yuechan instinctively grabbed the Song of Broken Pines'' handle.


    ''This woman!'' Chu Yueli felt threatened for the first time.


    As a Shadow Walker and earliest member of the Shadow Realm, Ye Zhi''s prowess is not even a question. She''s indeed strong and only entered twenty-five years old recently.


    However, Chu Yueli didn''t expect Ye Zhi to be this strong!


    Ye Zhi is at the peak of the Sovereign Profound Realm, and her profound art is very close to level 20. She''s equal to Chu Yueli in terms of cultivation and achievement.


    No, since Ye Zhi is younger, she has the upper hand.


    Ye Zhi realized her sudden outburst was too much. She bowed to Yu Long and said, "I''m sorry for showing an unsightly appearance."


    "It''s okay." Yu Long waved his hand. "I understand your feelings."


    After that, Ye Zhi entertained them with wine and delicious food.


    ...


    A few hourster, the sun finally reached its peak.


    Yu Long leaned on the castle wall and looked far ahead, observing the unfamiliar mountain range and scenery. He smiled because the situation here was much better than the Profound Sky Continent.


    There is much more to explore.


    Although Yu Long hasn''t explored the Profound Sky Continent, Shadow Realm''s intelligencework allows him to gather everything he needs, which makes it uninteresting.


    "It''s decided. I will make this continent mine." Yu Long smiled confidently.


    Azure Cloud Continent was several years behind due to the Ancestral God''s interference. And it was a blessing in disguise for Yu Long, who wanted to develop his force rapidly.


    Now that Yu Long thought about it, Yun Cne''s plot armor is cliche. His little aunt was actually this primordial goddess who started the birth of God Race, Devil Race, and many others.


    "Karma..." Yu Long grabbed something from his pocket. It was a pendant with a clear mirror attached, but the mirror was ''actually'' cracked due to the broken cycle of samsara.


    He rubbed his chin and mumbled, "Evil God said I only have to form a link with Mirror of Samsara to see Karmic Threads. There are white, ck, and golden threads."


    "White means good karma."


    "ck means bad karma."


    "And golden means innate karma."


    Yu Long ced the Mirror of Samsara between his brows and used [Kaiju Maker] to initiate a link. An explosion of mental wonder happened in Yu Long''s head, and his golden eyes gained this misty white ring.


    "Oh, Evil God wasn''t lying." He blinked, finally seeing Karmic Threads.


    If Evil God''s scattered will heard Yu Long questioning him, he would probably smack him on the head.


    Yu Long stared at his Karmic Threads and mumbled, "Everyone has bad karma, but mine is actually thinnerpared to good karma and innate karma."


    "Hmm, I did bad things and good things... Still, does indirect influence also cause good karma?"


    "On the other hand, innate karma is like something I was born with. Well, it was the thickest thread out of three. Maybe because I saved Earth back then."


    Suddenly, Yu Long saw his golden thread was ''awkwardly'' tugged by something.


    He looked ahead with enhanced vision and saw a group of people running in the forest. "Oh? Interesting." He smiled and told his wives about his sudden departure.


    Yu Long jumped into the air and glided toward the group of people. It was a group of seven, and the one leading the group was a dirty-looking man with a crying little girl on his shoulder.


    "UWAAAAAAAAAAAAH! FATHER!!" The little girl cried out.


    "You gotta be kidding me." Yu Long''s mouth couldn''t help but twitch. "This is the reason my golden thread tugged?"


    He stared at the girl and found her somewhat familiar.


    A sudden pang of Yun Che''s memory shed in Yu Long''s head as he finally recognized her.


    "Fuck, that girl is Su Ling''er. One of the heroines..." Yu Long cursed in realization. Heined inside because Su Ling''er was somehow attached to his innate karma.


    He quickly descended and stopped on the group''s path. His lofty and young appearance caught the group of seven off guard, but they immediately scowled at Yu Long.


    "Brat, who are you?" The frontman brandished his saber at Yu Long.


    "None." Yu Long answered casually.


    "None?"


    "None of your business!" Yu Long''s golden eyes be colder.


    "Brat, you''re courting death!"


    Yu Long ignored the cliche line and stared at the crying little girl. He used a sound transmission technique and told her to close her eyes.


    Su Ling''er stopped crying as she heard a soothing voice entering her mind. She blinked her big eyes and looked at the handsome big brother nearby.


    She saw Yu Long smile and nodded, closing her eyes.


    Yu Long used [Art of Ghost] and ughtered the group of seven with an overwhelming technique. They couldn''t blink before perishing.


    He caught Su Ling''er and ced her on the ground.


    "It''s okay, you can open your eyes now." He said with aplicated look.


    Su Ling''er slowly opened her eyes and saw Yu Long standing before her. He was so dashing and heroic, making her little heart feel weird.


    She looked around, trying to find the bad guys that kidnapped her.


    However, she couldn''t find them.


    "B-Big brother, are you my prince?" She said while looking at Yu Long brightly.


    "What?" Yu Long was confused.


    Su Ling''er blushed and continued, "Mom said a prince alwayses to save his princess! Since you saved Ling''er, doesn''t that mean you''re my prince?"


    ''What''s with the logic?'' Yu Long was speechless.


    Su Ling''er wiped the tears and smiled happily, "Hehe, Mom is right! Ling''er will find her prince and marry him!"


    "Big brother, Ling''er want to be your bride~!"

    --- Chapter 148 ---


    "Big brother, Ling''er wants to be your bride~!" Su Ling''er said with bright eyes.


    "..." Yu Long stared at her dumbly.


    Su Ling''er stood around 110 centimeters, wearing a light green dress. Her long ck hair was styled in twin tails,plimenting her snow-white cheeks and big, sparkled greenish-yellow eyes.


    She looks nine or ten years old, a younger sister everyone wants to protect and head pats.


    Yes, Adorable and bubbly.


    ''If you take something(whether by ident or not), you might tie onto unnecessary karma.'' Evil God''s warning randomly appeared in Yu Long''s head.''After the Primordial Era of Gods end. The Primal Chaos is on the verge of destruction. It would try its best to recover, but how could such arge domain recover quickly? The answer is karma. The better one''s innate karma is, the more Primal Chaos favored that individual.''


    ''Your innate karma is tremendous, even more than abination of me and other Creation Gods. So, be careful in your future endeavors, as the Primal Chaos might throw a horrible surprise at you...''


    "What bullshit." Yu Long mumbled in annoyance.


    "Bullshit?" Su Ling''er tilted her head, looking very confused.


    ''Oy, why are you teaching bad words to a young girl!'' Jasmineined from the Sky Poison Pearl''s dimension. Yu Long''s mouth twitched as Jasmine herself was a young girl. Yet she cursed a lot.


    It''s like a pot calling the kettle ck.


    Are you not ashamed of yourself? Yu Long couldn''t help but sigh.


    "Anyway..."


    "Little girl, why did those bad guys kidnap you?"


    Su Ling''er blinked, "Oh, yeah. You see, Ling''er was ying at the back of the mountain. And then those bad guys kidnapped Ling''er, saying the Grandwake n would pay ''Samson'' or something if they seed."


    "You mean ransom?"


    "Yes, random!"


    "You still get it wrong."


    "And Ling''er still fights back, hehe! So, I cried all the way!" She lifted her nose proudly.


    Yu Long was surprised that those people could stay sane when hearing Su Ling''er cry. Any third-rate viin would shut Su Ling''er''s mouth forcibly.


    It seemed kidnapping her was important, after all.


    Yeah, it''s not like Yu Long couldn''t obtain more information about this matter. He has turned those bad guys into essence spheres, after all.


    "Let''s go. I will send you back home." Yu Long extended his hand to Su Ling''er.


    Su Ling''er beamed and immediately hugged Yu Long''s arm. She felt safer than ever, feeling his muscr arm.


    Yu Long didn''t find Su Ling''er acting weirdly, considering he was her savior. Still, Jasmine noticed something with a weird glimmer in her scarlet eyes.


    Yu Long and Su Ling''er flew to the sky, making thetter happily squeal.


    "Woah, so high!" Su Ling''er looked around with her big eyes. She couldn''t help but giggle because this was her first time flying in the sky.


    Technically, it was Yu Long who carried her around. However, Su Ling''er felt like she was a bird in the azure sky.


    ''Hmm?'' Yu Long could see the Karmic Threads and his white and golden threads became thicker. Of course, not by much, but better than nothing.


    ''Interesting... Helping Su Ling''er increase my good and innate karma.''


    Although the effect of karma is invisible to one''s sense, Evil God told Yu Long someone with a big golden thread is luckier than others.


    As Yu Long was in deep thought, one of the newly created essence spheres appeared in his mouth. He did it discreetly so Jasmine and Su Ling''er couldn''t see him swallowing an essence sphere.


    Gulp!


    A series of memories appeared in Yu Long''s head. It was like a floodgate getting opened, submerging his mind.


    He digested every piece of information, trying to piece things together. A minuteter, a smile appeared on Yu Long''s face.


    "I see, so that''s why."


    "Ling''er." He called the little girl out.


    "Yes, Big brother?" Su Ling''er immediately looked at him.


    Amused by her fast response, Yu Long chuckled and asked, "Recently, has your n been attacked by bad guys?"


    Su Ling''er pouted and nodded at Yu Long''s question. "Yes! Some bad guys hurt Mom a few days ago. Mom hid it from me, but her left arm got bandaged after getting out to the mountain..."


    "Wait, Mom?" Yu Long noticed a weird notion in Su Ling''er''s story. Now that Yu Long thought about it, her mom should have died a long time ago and left her with a father alone.


    The plot is changing in an unknown direction.


    ''Does Ancient God''s prowess alter and not reset the Azure Cloud Continent? How weird.''


    Looking at Yu Long''s thoughtful face, Su Ling''er felt he was more handsome than before!


    ''It''s decided! I will tell Mom about Big Brotherter, then I can marry him, mm, mm!'' Su Ling''er thought to herself, balling her little hand into a fist.


    ''Ah, but I don''t know Big Brother''s name yet...''


    "Big Brother, Ling''er is curious.''


    "Hmm, of what?" Yu Long was still in deep thought.


    "What''s Big Brother''s name?" Su Ling''er opened her mouth.


    "Yu Long, my name is Yu Long." Yu Long answered as he wasn''t bothered to trick a little girl.


    After learning her savior''s name, Su Ling''er etched it deep in her young mind and mumbled, "Yu Long, what a good name."


    "Yu Ling''er is also not a bad name..." She added with a foolish grin.


    ''This girl.'' Jasmine narrowed her scarlet eyes. At first, she had no qualms about Su Ling''er, but now she confirmed this little girl had a few screws loose in the head.


    Su Ling''er suddenly swayed her head and stared at the empty air. No, it''s more like she stared straight into Jasmine''s eyes.


    Jasmine was startled and cursed, "What the fuck?"


    "Did she sense my astral body, but how?"


    The more Jasmine thought about it, the more mysterious Su Ling''er became.


    What''s the origin of this bizarre little girl?


    ...


    They arrived at the Grandwake n.


    However, Yu Long and Su Ling''er were ''immediately'' surrounded by a hundred people.


    "Who are you?" The man who led the group questioned the unknown young man, Yu Long.


    Yu Long dug his earzily, "Aih, so many people asked that question. It bes annoying."


    "I give you one minute to decide."


    "Get out of this territory, or you will die."


    "Pfft~! Hahaha~!" One hundred menughed at Yu Long. They gazed at him like he was the biggest fool in history.


    The leader alsoughed and gave Yu Long a sneer, "Brat, it''s alright if I don''t know you. But remember well that today will be your funeral."


    "My name is Heimu Qingya-!" Before he could finish his words, a terrifying ck light washed the area and blew him into smithereens.


    BOOM!


    Far away, a mountain peak was ''suddenly'' blown apart. If one goes there, one could find a bloody meat paste.


    Yu Long could kill Heimu Qingya here, but it would be too graphic for Su Ling''er.


    The remaining ny-nine men froze on the spot. They looked at Yu Long in horror now.


    "R-RUN!" They ran away quickly.


    Yu Long and Su Ling''er watched ny-nine men running away, but the former knew their lives would end soon. He ordered one of his Kaiju to finish them off.


    "Ling''er!" A feminine shoutes from behind.


    Yu Long turned around and frowned inwardly. A woman in a green robe ran toward them. Her face was fair and resembled Su Ling''er much.


    It was clear that this woman was the mother of Su Ling''er.


    On top of that, Yu Long finally confirmed that Su Ling''er wasn''t lying about her mother. He could see the woman''s left arm bandaged with white cloth.


    ''Thirty? No, maybe younger. Her cultivation is only at the peak of the Earth Profound Realm.'' Yu Long thought to himself.


    "Mom!" Su Ling''er ran and hugged the woman. She cried for a few seconds, whispering something into her mother''s ear.


    The woman was stunned and looked at Yu Long with an apologetic expression. He noticed a blush of shame on her face.


    She walked to Yu Long and bowed, "Thank you for saving my daughter."


    "Also, please don''t mind her words..."


    Yu Long waved his hand and responded, "I understand. It''s just a little girl''s words."


    "I won''t take it seriously."


    The woman smiled and sighed in relief inside. "Once again, thank you for saving my daughter."


    "My name is Su Meiling."


    "I''m the n Leader of the Grandwake n."


    ''Damn, the world''s plot really changed.'' Yu Long med the Ancestral God for this.

 Chapter 152: Grandwake Clan

    Chapter 152: Grandwake n

    --- Chapter 149 ---


    After some pleasantries, Su Meiling invited Yu Long into the Grandwake n. And the entire time, Su Ling''er was hugging his arm tightly.


    Right now, they are sitting inside a bamboo forest. This ce is the little heroine''s favorite ce.


    Well, Su Ling''er loves bamboo.


    "Big Brother, drink this tasty bamboo tea~!" Su Ling''er shoved a bamboo cup at Yu Long.


    She also handed a small te to him, "Oh, don''t forget about these pickled bamboo shoots. They are so good~!"


    Yu Long puts on a troubled expression as he drinks and eats everything Su Ling''er gives him. He stared at Su Meiling, finding a guilty look on her face.Even though they hadn''t said anything yet, theymunicated through gazes. And Su Meiling felt sorry for her daughter''s actions.


    "Hmm, hmm~!" Su Ling''er hummed happily, pressing her cheek against Yu Long''s arm.


    Su Meiling coughed awkwardly, "S-Sorry..."


    "Haa, whatever." Yu Long responded casually.


    "Can you tell more about the conflict between your Grandwake n and ckwood Stronghold?"


    Su Meiling nodded and exined, "It started nine years ago. Myte husband got conferred the leader of Grandwake n, which gave him ess to the Grandwake n''s treasure ground."


    "Many people dislike this, including the n elders..."


    "Still, myte husband fought and fought until he got stabbed in the back." She gritted her teeth and clenched her fist.


    "This..." Yu Long nced at Su Ling''er beside him.


    Is it okay to say such a thing in front of a child?


    Su Meiling noticed Yu Long''s awkwardness and replied, "Ling''er already knew. She might look naive but attentive when ites to the n."


    Su Ling''er pouted, "I''m not naive. Ling''er is cute, that''s it..."


    Su Meiling giggled and continued, "Well, as my husband passed away, he gave the leader position to me. I tried my best to protect the Grandwake n, shaving the enemy''s force one way after another."


    "Yet they are still too overbearing."


    "Well, that''s weird. Your Grandwake n''s force shouldn''t be too weakpared to ckwood Stronghold." Yu Longmented with a frown.


    "Unless the ckwood Stronghold has the support of another faction."


    ''Ah, how sharp.'' Su Meiling staggered at Yu Long''s guess. It hits the bullseye.


    She sighed and responded, "Indeed. The ckwood Stronghold has an ambiguous connection with one of three superpowers, the Seven Stars Divine Pce."


    "I''ve been trying to pinpoint the person, but the ckwood Stronghold''s master always kept his mouth tight."


    "Oh, that guy. Don''t worry, I''ve dealt with him." Yu Long recalled the person he killed a moment ago.


    "Eh?" Su Meiling was taken aback.


    Su Ling''er waved her little fist and suddenly responded, "That''s right, Mom."


    "Big Brother is so cool~! He flicked his finger, and the big bad guy was gone!"


    "Poof and a mountain go boom!"


    Hearing such a childish exnation, Su Meiling couldn''t help but take a second look at Yu Long. Contrary to her stunned look, Su Meiling was calm inside because she knew Yu Long couldn''t be an ordinary young man.


    Su Ling''er has told Su Meiling anout how Yu Long saved her from seven bad guys. It was almost instantaneous, with no trace behind it.


    From this alone, Su Meiling concluded Yu Long as an Emperor Profound Realm Expert. He might be even higher than that.


    ''He can''t be an old monster, right?'' Su Meiling thought to herself. After all, someone who reached a high realm could return to their youthful appearance.


    ''No, that can''t be. This young man is overflowing with vitality and youthfulness.''


    ''He''s less than twenty years old...'' The more Su Meiling thought about it, the more stunned she became. ''Young, very young.''


    After praising Yu Long in her heart, Su Meiling grabbed a bamboo cup and sipped the well-made tea. "Savior, if I may know, are you from one of the superpowers?" She asked immediately.


    "Oh, you''re not ying tricks first?" Yu Long smiled a little.


    Su Meiling shook her head and returned, "In front of your power, trickery could only do so little."


    Yu Long nodded in acknowledgment, "That''s true. I like how you were straight to the point."


    "To answer your question, I''m not from any superpowers."


    "Well, not from this continent, at least..."


    "You..." Su Meiling was speechless. Her serene heart was ''momentarily'' knotted by Yu Long''s words because she understood what he meant.


    He was an outsider!


    "H-How did you traverse over such a vast ocean? I mean, even if you flew over it, the ocean is simply boundless." She wasn''t dumb as many people tried to cross the sea, but no one seeded.


    Yu Long shrugged, "Unfortunately, I can''t tell you the method yet. Unless the Grandwake n agrees to my term."


    "Don''t tell me this was your intention from the beginning. How convenient was it for you to save my daughter?" Su Meiling solemnly said.


    "Haha, don''t be too serious. I just found Grandwake n''s situation interesting." Yu Longughed. "As for saving Ling''er, it was merely a coincidence as I roamed around randomly."


    Even though it was a lie, Yu Long doesn''t care. He only wanted to test the water. The Azure Cloud Continent he knew changed so much because of Ancestral God''s interference.


    "Seven Stars Divine Pce is a strong enemy, but I don''t see them as a threat. I know you can''t trust me yet."


    "However, You should know about the Thousand Weapons Association nearby. That ce is one of my faction''s branches." Yu Long patted Su Ling''er and bade his farewell.


    "You can visit me there."


    "Well, see you soon."


    Su Ling''er suddenly hugged empty air, "Uwaa, is this magic??"


    "Mom, Big Brother is gone!"


    Su Meiling wryly smiled while staring at the empty spot on the bench beside her daughter. If Yu Long wanted, he could have kidnapped Su Ling''er just like those people from the ckwood Stronghold.


    However, he didn''t.


    It shows just how confident Yu Long was.


    "He really didn''t put the Seven Stars Divine Pce in his eyes..." Su Meiling murmured.


    "Incredible confidence, unknown power and background, and handsome face. What an interesting young man."


    "Ack, Mom! Big Brother Yu Long is my prince!" Su Ling''erined.


    "Ling''er will be his bride in the future!"


    "Sure, sure." Su Meiling giggled, hugging her daughter. Although she said that, she couldn''t imagine a few wild things.


    Nevertheless, Su Meiling sighed because she was a widow. Yu Long couldn''t possibly be interested in her.


    "Ling''er, stay here, and don''t y at the back of the mountain again." She warned her daughter.


    "Okay!" Su Ling''er sensibly responded. "B-But can we visit Big Brother Yu Longter?"


    Su Meiling smiled and rubbed her daughter''s head lovingly, "Okay. Mom will hold a meeting with the elder first."


    "Mm." Su Ling''er sat back and munched pickled bamboo shoots.


    After pampering her daughter, Su Meiling left the bamboo forest and returned to the Grandwake n''spound. Her bearing andposition suddenly changed into that of a Cold CEO.


    Su Meiling called one of her loyal attendants, "Check the condition of ckwood Stronghold."


    "Yes, n Leader." Said an individual in a ck cloth.


    Su Meiling walked to the n''spound and entered a room filled with Grandwake n''s elders. "Elders, I have good news. The crowd of people that Heimu Qingya led has gotten defeated." She said calmly.


    "Heimu Qingya is also confirmed dead..."


    "Impossible!" The grand elder of the Grandwake n, Su Wangji, stood up.


    "Meiling, if you want to lie, at least make it believable..."


    ''Even if I want to lie, I don''t think a shameless old man like you has a word about it.'' Su Meiling sneered in her heart.


    "Sister-inw, are you telling the truth?" One man stood up as well. He''s the brother of Su Meiling''s husband, Su Hengyue.


    Su Meiling stared at the elders silently, as half of them weren''t on her side.


    She coldly answered, "You can confirm my statement by sending your attendant to the ckwood Mountain Range."


    "But you guys won''t do it because you are a bunch of cowards..."


    "SU MEILING, HOW DARE YOU CALL ME COWARD!" Su Wangji shouted at Su Meiling.


    Su Meiling released her cultivation and chuckled, "Because you''re a coward from the inside out."


    "For nine years, how many times have you helped the Grandwake n fight against the ckwood Stronghold? I could barely count it with my one hand."


    "My husband died in the battle while you were hiding in the n..."


    "Mother." A young man who shared some qualities with Su Meiling called out. "Calm down, let''s talk this out."


    He''s none other than Su Meiling''s firstborn, Su Haoran.


    However, Su Meiling was ''immediately'' disgusted when Su Haoran called her mother.


    "You do not qualify to call me your mother. Since that day you left behind Su Hengshan in the ckwood Mountain Range to save your life, I already disowned you." Su Meiling emotionlessly stated.


    She gazed at Su Haoran like he was a piece of trash, "If you dare to call me that again, there will be a consequence..."


    "Elder Hengjun, Elder Hengmei, and Elder Hengkui, follow me." Su Meiling turned around and walked out of the room. As she left the room, three elders followed behind.


    Su Wangji, Su Hengyue, and Su Haoran have a frown on their faces.


    What happened to Su Meiling?


    Has she be mad?

    --- Chapter 150 ---


    Su Meiling sat on the highest seat inside the n leader''s room. It used to be her husband''s, but she epted this position to avenge his unjustified death.


    She stared at the elders, who followed her husband to hisst breath and calmly observed their expression.


    Elder Hengjun is an elderly who possessed the early stage of Sky Profound Realm, but due to his old age, his fighting prowess isn''t the best. Still, his wise mind proved effective for the Grandwake n''s development.


    Elder Hengmei is a middle-aged woman and half-step Sky Profound Realm. She used to be an independent profound practitioner and married into the Grandwake n, but like Su Meiling, her husband died in a battle.


    And finally, Elder Hengkui. He belonged to the neutral party andter joined Su Meiling because her policy and work ethic for the Grandwake n won him over.


    Like Elder Hengmei, Elder Hengkui is also a half-step Sky Profound Realm."n Leader, is it true that Heimu Qingya has died?" Elder Hengkui asked with a troubled expression.


    Su Meiling supported her chin with one hand and returned, "Are you questioning my words, Elder Hengkui?"


    "No, no, I just want to confirm the truth." Elder Hengkui raised his arms in defeat. Although Su Meiling''s cultivation base is lower than his, she has enough strength to beat him.


    Su Meiling closed her eyes and exined, "Ling''er went to the back of the mountain a while ago. She got kidnapped by the ckwood Stronghold''s people."


    Gasp!


    "Is she okay?" Elder Hengmei panicked.


    "We should search for Ling''er!" Elder Hengjun finally opened his mouth.


    Su Meiling waved her hand, "Calm down, you two. Fortunately, a young man appeared and rescued Ling''er."


    "On top of that, that young man even wiped the kidnappers and Heimu Qingya himself."


    "W-What?" The three elders were shocked.


    "Shocked?" Su Meiling smiled at them. "That young man''s strength is like a bottomless abyss. I couldn''t even sense the depth of it."


    "And he has a deep confidence not to put Seven Stars Divine Pce in his eyes. Before you judge his confidence as arrogance, he even left us a chance to coborate."


    "That''s right, he extended an olive branch to us."


    Su Meiling''s exnation sounds like a dream scenario in the three elders'' ears. However, they knew Su Meiling''s character, and she wouldn''t like something this serious.


    "Does this young mane from two other superpowers?" The three elders have a thoughtful look on their faces.


    "No, he''s not from three superpowers." Su Meiling answered calmly. "He came from outside of Azure Cloud Continent..."


    "..." The three elders couldn''t believe their senses for a moment. Like, it''s too good to be true.


    A silence suddenly ensued in the n leader''s room.


    Su Meiling inwardly rxed when seeing their reaction. Although she felt a bit dirty to use Yu Long for her agenda, she couldn''t let Su Wangji''s faction gain more advantage.


    After telling about Heimu Qingya''s death earlier, Su Meiling felt the elders'' reactions were inappropriate. She was sure Su Wangji and those cowardly bastards would stage a coup. It''s just a matter of time.


    As the three elders thought this was too good to be true, they gazed at Su Meiling deeply.


    "There must be a catch in this cooperation, right?" Elder Hengmei pointed out.


    Su Meiling naturally nodded as she didn''t bother to lie, "Indeed."


    "He wanted us to agree on his terms."


    "As for what kind of terms heid on the table, we must visit him for further discussions first."


    "This is good... Grand Elder wouldn''t see thising." Elder Hengkui rubbed his chin. "n Leader, the young man should have told you where to find him, right?"


    Su Meiling nodded again, "Yes. He said he would be waiting at the Thousand Weapons Association."


    "Thousand Weapons Association..." Elder Hengjun mumbled to himself. "Is it the castle on the west of Grandwake Mountain?"


    "I''ve sent a couple of people there, but all I got is that the people there are very mysterious."


    "However, that''s not the main point. Thousand Weapons Association is a castle of artifact makers, so they could make amazing weapons to assist our Grandwake n."


    "How good are we talking here?" Elder Hengkui inquired with a curious look.


    "Top-notch Artifact." Elder Hengjun answered immediately.


    "I have never seen such beautiful craftsmanship before. And there was a rumor that the Association Leader of Thousand Weapons Association is a Divine cksmith, who could create Sovereign Profound Artifact!"


    "Of course, rumor is rumor. I haven''t confirmed this fact."


    "Sovereign Profound Artifacts." Even Su Meiling skipped her breath upon hearing this. "How could I''ve never heard about this?"


    Elder Henjun helplessly smiled and continued with a low voice, "Thousand Weapons Association did their business discreetly. Only a handful of qualified people in the Azure Cloud Continent could experience their service."


    "Now that I thought about it, it''s within reasonable scope if theye from the outside, as I''ve never heard of them in my entire life." Elder Hengjun has lived over a century, after all.


    "It''s decided then, we will visit the Thousand Weapons Association." Su Meiling doesn''t give them a chance to give up. And the three elders could only nod their heads dumbly.


    "Okay, you may leave the room."


    After the three elders left, Su Meiling slumped on the n Leader''s seat and rubbed her eyes slowly. She felt a wetness from her overflowing emotion because her hellish torture finallye to an end.


    Su Meiling rubbed the unique-looking key attached to the silver chain on her fair neck, "Husband, the Grandwake n''s crisis will be over soon."


    "Your sacrifice for me and Ling''er won''t be in vain..."


    "Don''t worry, I will also avenge you." She added with rich killing intent.


    ...


    At night, five individuals left the Grandwake n.


    "Mom, are we going to visit Big Brother Yu Long?" Su Ling''er asked while rubbing her eyes. She was sleepy but also excited to meet her handsome prince again.


    The three elders looked at Su Meiling weirdly.


    Su Meiling smiled helplessly and answered, "Yes, we will visit him tonight."


    "Be a good girl, and stay quiet, okay? We can''t let those bad guys know we are going out."


    "Okay..." Su Ling''er nodded and whispered while making a yful shoo gesture.


    Su Meiling sighed and nced at the Grandwake n. Hopefully, Yu Long won''t ask for too much.


    Although Su Meiling wished her hellish torture to end, she couldn''t watch the Grandwake n that herte husband painstakingly protected with his life fall.


    They moved in the darkness of night, reaching the west of Grandwake Mountain quickly.


    "Where is it?" Elder Hengkui frowned a little as he gazed at an empty mountainside. Yes, he couldn''t find any castle that Elder Hengjun mentioned in the evening.


    "Your view is quite shallow for a man who lived near my age." Elder Hengjun chuckled in amusement.


    "Hehe, Grandpa Hengkui is old~!" Su Ling''er giggled, joining Elder Hengjun.


    Elder Hengkui''s mouth twitched, but he couldn''t do anything about this situation.


    Elder Hengmei shook her head. It was always like this when they brought the little princess of Grandwake n out.


    Thankfully, Su Ling''er is safer with them than the Grandwake n.


    Elder Hengjun coughed and exined briefly, "The Thousand Weapons Association is a mysterious organization. If their headquarters could be ''easily'' found, it is no different than inviting demise to their front door."


    "Illusion..." Su Meiling has superb mental power. So, she could sense something was off.


    Then, a white-clothed woman with an ice-like presence unexpectedly appeared before them. "Five of you have been invited into the castle." She said with a poker face.


    And the reality was ''seemingly'' torn apart.


    The night sky and surrounding mountainside crumbled, revealing a grandiose-looking castle.


    "Wow~!" Su Ling''er stared at the massive castle with glimmering eyes.


    Meanwhile, Su Meiling and the three elders were stunned beyond belief.


    It was in front of them the whole freaking time!


    ''At least one of them can sense the array.'' Chu Yueli stared at Su Meiling silently. She was confused when Yu Long told her there would be visitorster.


    But isn''t this just a new addition to Young Master''s Harem?


    Of course, Chu Yueli is talking about Su Meiling.


    ''A mother at that.'' Chu Yueli noticed the simrity between Su Meiling and Su Ling''er. ''Young Master''s taste is quite suspicious.''


    "Follow me." After saying that, Chu Yueli turned and walked to the castle.


    Su Meiling and the elders nced at each other before nodding in agreement. They followed Chu Yueli but soon discovered Su Ling''er already run toward the castle first.


    "BIG BROTHER, LING''ER COME TO PLAY~!!"

    --- Chapter 151 ---


    After returning from the Grandwake n, Yu Long locked himself in one of the rooms and researched Azure Cloud Continent''s native flora.


    He was dead tired after deducing the usage of native herbs. Thankfully, the cheat-like Sky Poison Pearl allowed him to refine pills perfectly.


    Yu Long has sessfully concocted Emperor Breaking Pills. As the name suggests, it''s a miraculous pill that allows someone to enter the Emperor Profound Realm without side effects.


    Even Jasmine was speechless at how smoothly Yu Long achieved these results. To make a new pill, one ''normally'' needs to do extended research about the medicinal effect of each herb and then decide which mix will be the best.


    What Yu Long did in thest few hours was staring at herbs and mumbling countless gibberish. And then he randomly made a pill.


    It was so frustrating for Jasmine.In the end, Yu Long was lying on a sofa and heard a knock on the door.


    "Young Master, your guess is here." Chu Yueli''s voicees from the other side.


    Yu Long brushed his hair back and answered, "Enter."


    Su Ling''er barged in without further ado, and her bright eyes immediately locked on Yu Long. "Big Brother Yu Long! Ling''er came to y~!" She skipped and jumped toward him.


    ''What is she doing here??'' Yu Long was speechless.


    He watched the little girl lunge toward him and couldn''t help but sigh inside. He caught her mid-air and gently put her beside him, "What are you doing here, Ling''er?"


    "My mom is bringing me along~!" Yu Ling''er giggled. "She and the elders said I wasn''t safe in the n."


    Well, if we consider the current situation of the Grandwake n. Bringing Su Ling''er to the Thousand Weapons Association was a good decision.


    Why would Su Meiling leave her daughter in the enemy''s territory?


    Su Meiling awkwardly walked into the room and greeted Yu Long with a weak smile, "Pardon our intrusion, young hero." She said, bringing three more people in.


    Yu Long waved his hand and pointed at the sofa opposite him, "Sit, n Leader Su. I didn''t expect such ate visit."


    Su Meilling sat on the sofa gently and answered, "Yes, I don''t have many choices. The Grandwake n''s situation became chaotic when I revealed your recent deeds to the Grand Elder and others."


    "I''m afraid the Grand Elder''s faction willunch a coup sooner orter."


    "My faction didn''t have much hope, and our firepower was slightly weaker than the other side. So, we need your help."


    "As the current n Leader of the Grandwake n, I will try my best to fulfill your terms."


    "Really?" Yu Long gazed at Su Meiling''s eyes. He knew a woman like Su Meiling wouldn''t make a half-assed decision.


    Su Meiling understood what move benefited the Grandwake n the most. Even if Su Meiling has to lower her pride, she will try to rope Yu Long in.


    She is but a widow.


    Yu Long finally smiled, "Don''t be too stiff. I wouldn''t arrange an outrageous term."


    "We are business partners, after all."


    "Fufu, young hero, you know how to joke." Su Meiling shook her head gently. "Partnership only happens when both sides are equal, and my Grandwake n is definitely weaker..."


    "For now, that is." Yu Long nodded in agreement.


    "For now?" Su Meiling and the three elders tilted their heads.


    Yu Long patted Su Ling''er and continued, "I can increase your faction''s power quickly. Here, take a look at mytest creation."


    Su Ling''er blinked her eyes twice and sniffed something sweet on the table. "Sweets?" She drooled immediately.


    Although Su Ling''er likes bamboo the most, who said she doesn''t like sweets?


    Su Meiling and the elders stared at the jade bottle on the table.


    "Go on, open it." Yu Long confidently leaned on the sofa.


    Su Ling''er picked up the jade bottle and opened the lid nervously, feeling her profound strength stir. Her eyes widened in shock because her cultivation base''s bottleneck loosened rapidly.


    What is this pill?


    She only inhaled the medicinal scent! Yet the effect is so massive.


    "T-This... What kind of pill is this, young hero?" She asked Yu Long.


    "I''ve said it earlier. My new creation." Yu Long answered casually.


    "Oh, yeah. I added strawberry vor as well."


    "I can make mint or mango ones if you want to."


    "Ling''er want mango candy!" Su Ling''er raised her arm.


    Yu Long grabbed one of the unsuitable products, which had a weak effectpared to thetest version of Emperor Breaking Pill but had better taste overall.


    "Eat it slowly, or you will get a toothache." He handed a jade bottle to Su Ling''er.


    Su Ling''er smiled adorably, "Thank you, Big Brother."


    "Yummy~!" She squeezed her cheeks, tasting the mango vor.


    Su Meiling stared at this sight dumbly and felt the three elders drilling over her back. They wanted to check the pill as well.


    She wanted to ask for Yu Long''s permission first, and thetter agreed without much problem.


    Elder Hengjun, Elder Hengmei, and Elder Hengkui have their turn to check the Emperor Breaking Pills. Their expression is akin to someone who witnesses god or something.


    The elders'' gazes toward Yu Long even be more revered.


    "How was it?" Yu Long shed a small smile at them.


    "Incredible pills." Su Meiling and the elders answered without hesitation.


    She sighed, "Unfortunately, the Grandwake n couldn''t afford such a thing."


    "It''s alright. You can take that bottle for free." Yu Long gave the elders a yful look. "I still have a dozen of Emperor Breaking Pills."


    "Emperor Breaking Pills." Su Meiling felt a chill in her spine. From the name alone, she could guess the effect of this pill.


    "Young hero... Don''t tell me, this pill."


    Yu Long didn''t bother to lie, "Yes, it can allow one to reach the Emperor Profound Realm. Of course, you need to be at the peak of Sky Profound Realm to consume this pill correctly."


    "If not, the effect will get weaker. Also, your body will take more time to absorb it,"


    "You didn''t say we can''t consume right now." Su Meiling pointed solemnly.


    Yu Long nodded and smirked, "My Emperor Breaking Pills has no side effects. Aside from low absorption if you''re below the peak of Sky Profound Realm, consuming right now will strengthen one''s foundation and profound strength."


    "You can also use this pill to break through into Sky Profound Realm and below. Still, I rmended Spirit Profound Realm and below to cut the pills into two portions."


    "Young hero, you''re a genius!" Su Meiling praised Yu Long. She realized no one in Azure Cloud Continent could achieve the same result as him.


    The same goes for the elders. They couldn''t hide their excitement.


    Su Ling''er licked her candy and proudly lifted her nose, "My prince is a genius!"


    Yu Long leaned even more on the sofa, looking veryzy.


    "Well, let''s talk about my term now."


    Su Meiling and the elders immediately straightened their backs.


    "Do say what your term is, young hero." Elder Hengjun tried to tter Yu Long.


    "Mm, we will do anything." Elder Hengmei and Elder Hengkui followed shortly after.


    Yu Long smiled and replied, "We need abor force."


    "To be honest, we didn''t bring a lot of people here, and most of them didn''t have a good grasp on the cultivation of medicinal herbs."


    "Your Grandwake n has lived in the Grandwake Mountain for years, so you know thendscape better than I do."


    "n Leader Su, what do you think of Grandwake n bing my exclusive farmers?" He added with a serious look, leaving Su Meiling and the elders dumbfounded.


    They expected Yu Long to ce an outrageous term, considering the worth of Emperor Breaking Pills.


    But he actually wanted them to be his farmers!


    ''Damn it. This is different than I originally thought.'' Su Meiling''s red lips continuously twitched in disbelief.

    --- Chapter 152 ---


    After finalizing their long-term cooperation, Yu Long smiled at Su Meiling and said, "Alright, you can stay in the Thousand Weapons Association tonight."


    "Also, you should leave the name of your enemy behind. I will get it down by the morning." He added casually.


    Su Meiling nodded solemnly, "Okay, I will send the list within five-! No, three minutes."


    "But please don''t finish them off right away. They can''t get away too easily, considering the pain they inflicted on me..."


    Yu Long raised his brow because Su Meiling''s presence upon uttering the following lines was very hateful. Her hate is so immense that it is nearly equal to a person like Yun Canghai, who was ''literally'' sealed for years under a suppression formation.


    Maybe this is what they mean not to make women mad.Yu Long doesn''t know Su Meiling''s psychological state, but she must be hovering between madness and sorrow.


    Fortunately, Su Ling''er was asleep. So, she wouldn''t see this side of her mother.


    ''Her aptitude isn''t bad. If only she directed her hate into cultivation, I wonder how much she would grow.'' Yu Long thought to himself.


    He nced at the sleeping Su Ling''er on hisp. ''Su Meiling hasn''t taken a real step into madness because of Su Ling''er and herte husband''s will.''


    Yes, Su Meiling couldn''t appear weak in front of her enemy, or they would make her life more miserable.


    Yu Long contacted Ye Zhi and told her to prepare guest rooms. She was quick with it, and a shadow agent immediately escorted the Su n''s elders away.


    There are only Yu Long, Su Meiling, and sleeping Su Ling''er in the room now.


    "Say it. I know you wanted more than this." Yu Long closed his eyes calmly.


    Su Meiling bit her lips and bowed, "Young hero, please help me avenge my husband''s unjustified death."


    "I will do anything..."


    Yu Long recalled this exact scenario in the past. Cang Yue also uttered the same lines, but her morality won''t allow her to do evil.


    Of course, that''s the Cang Yue of the past. The current Blue Wind Empire''s princess wasn''t so naive anymore.


    On the other hand, Su Meiling is really willing to do anything. Yes, even if she had to ughter her way through.


    "Give me your blood." Yu Long opened his mouth.


    "Blood." Su Meiling stood up and grabbed a clean cup on the table.


    She cut her palm with her sharp nail, allowing blood to drip into the container. There is no hesitation in her movement.


    She can be ruthless to herself.


    After the cup was ''quickly'' filled to the brim, Yu Long sighed and grabbed Su Meiling''s hand.


    "Aih, sometimes I don''t know what you women have in mind." Yu Long said, healing Su Meiling with the [Great Way of Buddha]''s force.


    Su Meiling smiled weakly, "I want to escape this hell, Young Hero."


    "Hell, huh?" Yu Long nodded without much expression.


    "You''ve gone through a lot."


    "Yes..." Su Meiling lowered her head, feeling the warmness of Yu Long''s strong hand. It was simr to herte husband, firm and filled with responsibility.


    They didn''t say anything further, and Su Meiling''s bleeding palm recovered rapidly. There was no scar either.


    "Done." Yu Longmented, but Su Meiling seemingly didn''t listen and sat beside him.


    "n Leader Su?" He called her again.


    "Can I lean on your shoulder, Young hero?" Su Meiling finally responded with a low voice. "Just for a couple of minutes..."


    Before Yu Long could reply, Jasmine''s determined voice echoed in his head.


    ''Let her.''


    It''s just two words but filled with sympathy.


    ''What''s the matter? You usually would brand me as the evil scoundrel whenever I was close with women.'' Yu Long asked in surprise.


    ''Nothing in particr. This princess only pities this woman. She''s differentpared to those bimbos!'' Jasmine responded, hugging her knees as she saw her past image in Su Meiling.


    Before meeting Yu Long, Jasmine hardly contains her hatred toward a ''certain'' golden-haired wench. She was thirsty for revenge and blood.


    She''s calmer now, thanks to the power of desserts. Of course, she didn''t forget her revenge and nned a killing strategy first.


    Yu Long let Su Meiling rest her head on his shoulder.


    For a moment, the image of Yu Long, Su Meiling, and Su Ling''er looks like a family. The adult woman leans on the young man''s shoulder tofort herself. And the young girl innocently sleeps on the young man''sp, dreaming of a happy event.


    Five minutester, Su Meiling wiped her tears and opened her eyes. She looked at Yu Long and immediately went for the business.


    "There are ten elders and many others in the Grand Elder''s faction. You can clean everyone except four people."


    "The Grand Elder, My Husband''s brother, and nephew."


    "And finally, that despicable Su Haoran..."


    ''Su Haoran, isn''t he the older brother of Su Ling''er?'' Yu Long was confused.


    Su Meiling noticed Yu Long''s confusion and added, "Su Haoran is one of the masterminds behind my husband''s death. I''d appreciate it if you keep him intact for me..."


    "Very well." Yu Long nodded in understanding.


    He wiped the remaining tears on Su Meiling''s cheeks and smiled, "Happy cooperation."


    "Mm, Happy cooperation." Su Meiling''s cheeks flushed a little.


    ...


    As Su Meiling left with Su Ling''er in her arms, Yu Long summoned the shadow agents and told them to ransack the Grandwake n.


    With a dead list, the Shadow Realm finally made its first move in the Azure Cloud Continent.


    A one-sided ughter begins in the Grandwake n, and when midnightes, 30% of the Grandwake n perished. Blood is flowing like a river, making this rust-filled atmosphere.


    The innocent were ''naturally'' spared as Yu Long couldn''t possibly erase his freebor force, but they witnessed the cold massacre tonight.


    It shows no matter how scheming one is, it means nothing in front of absolute strength.


    In the morning, Yu Long ate breakfast with his wives and maids.


    "Yu Long, I heard you invited a mistressst night." Cang Yue said while breaking a bone marrow.


    Yu Long coughed awkwardly and replied, "Ehem, what do you mean by Mistress? She''s my business partner, the n Leader of the Grandwake n!"


    Cang Yue rolled her eyes, "Yeah. On top of that, she''s also a widow with one daughter."


    "A MILF!"


    Gasp!


    "Y-Yu Long, I don''t know you have such a taste." Xia Qingyue chimed in, leaving Yu Long speechless. "M-Milf..."


    Yu Long''s mouth twitched as he shoved steak into their mouths. He nced at Ye Zhi nearby and asked, "How was the mission?"


    "Easily done." Ye Zhi answered with a pout. "It wasn''t even a challenge."


    "The Grandwake n is so weak..."


    "You shouldn''t say something like that in front of our guests." Yu Long helplessly nced at the door, finding Su Meiling and Su Ling''er.


    Su Meiling put on an understanding look and calmly said, "It''s fine. My Grandwake n is indeed weak."


    "Thank you for inviting us for breakfast."


    "Come in, take your seats." Yu Long waved his hand.


    "Good Morning, Big Brother~!" Su Ling''er adorably made her entrance with a graceful twirl.


    "Pfft, who is this kid? She is so adorable." Cang Yue looked down at Su Ling''er.


    Su Ling''er turned around and puffed her cheeks, "Hello, beautiful big sister. My name is Su Ling''er!"


    "Su Ling''er, nice name." Cang Yue couldn''t help but giggle.


    Aih, women are indeed weak when ites to adorable stuff.


    Even the calm Xia Qingyue was ''funnily'' betrayed by her feelings and stole a few nces at Su Ling''er. In the end, Su Ling''er sat between Cang Yue and Xia Qingyue.


    Su Meiling sat opposite Yu Long and introduced herself to the group. As thedies listened to Su Meiling''s brief story, they nodded and understood why she wasing here.


    "I''ve captured the four people. You can visit them anytime in the dungeon." Yu Long stated while scooping his stew.


    "So fast." Su Meiling mumbled.


    Yu Long chuckled, "All thanks to my subordinate. Let me introduce you to Ye Zhi, the Weapon Master of Shadow Realm."


    Su Meiling followed Yu Long''s gaze and saw Ye Zhi.


    ''This, such a strong presence.'' She felt an indescribable shock as she couldn''t grasp how powerful this woman in ck was.


    "Nice to meet you." Ye Zhi gave her a nod.


    Su Meiling maintained a professional look and replied, "Nice to meet you as well."


    Unknown to Su Meiling, Yu Long''spanions acknowledged her for maintaining such a calm look. A ''normal'' woman would be intimidated by Ye Zhi''s presence.


    "Good. I''ve decided to put the Grandwake n under Shadow Realm''s jurisdiction." Yu Long dered. "And Su Meiling will be the head chief of our medicinal field."


    "I will do my best." Su Meiling determinedly stared at Yu Long.


    ...


    After breakfast, Yu Long went to the Heavenly Abode Mountain.


    Yes, it''s time to visit the Cloud''s End Cliff.

    Yu Long stood on the edge of the cliff and peeked below. He couldn''t see the depth of Cloud''s End Cliff, as if this ce was a bottomless abyss.


    If Yu Long hadn''t read Against the God in his previous life, he would not have visited this shady ce. Well, the Evil God''s daughter lies deep inside this abyss.


    "This ce creeps the hell out of me." Jasmine appeared with a sour expression. "Just what is this cliff?"


    "It radiates so much Darkness Devil Presence..."


    Yu Long smiled and answered, "This is the ce that Evil God wanted me to visit.""Ah, so his daughter is here!" Jasmine nodded in realization. Since Evil God''s wife is the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor, their child should be half God and Devil Race.


    It''s understandable to stay in such a dark ce.


    "Yes, but there is much more." Yu Long suddenly jumped in.


    Jasmine''s scarlet eyes widened in shock, "Oy!"


    Yu Long grinned as he dived into the cliff, feeling the air be colder and darkness envelop him. The Cloud''s End Cliff is forty thousand kilometers deep, and Yu Long jumped in without any preparation.


    Soon, extreme dark energy tried to invade Yu Long''s body and consciousness.


    But how could this pitiful Yin(Darkness) energy affect Yu Long, who practiced [Art of Ghost] to the extreme?


    BOOM!


    Yu Longnded on the ground with an eruption.


    He sent rubbles everywhere and sighed, "Phew, that was deeper than I thought."


    "As expected, we are on a whole another dimension. The Cloud''s End Cliff is actually the passage into this realm."


    Yu Long patted the dust off his clothes and looked around, finding a tnd. Weirdly, this tnd seemingly extends endlessly for tens of thousands of kilometers in every direction.


    "Hmm, that''s weird. Was the sense of distance warped in this dimension?"


    "Jasmine, do you know something about this?"


    ''"Jasmine?" Yu Long called her again because she didn''t respond to him the first time.


    Jasmine gritted her teeth and screamed, "You dummy!"


    "Why did you jump all of a sudden? You make me worried!"


    Yu Long smiled, "But I''m fine."


    Jasmine snorted and crossed her arms, "Don''t do that again in front of this princess."


    "Fine, fine. Have any clue about my question earlier?"


    "No."


    "Eh, I thought you''d know something like this..."


    "This princess is not your personal library of knowledge!"


    ''Well, you kinda are.'' Yu Long thought to himself. Even though he received the Evil God''s knowledge, it wascking in the naturalw of Primal Chaos.


    Yes, Evil God barely scraped something for Yu Long.


    ROAR!!


    A heart-wrenching roar echoed in the abyss.


    Yu Long activated his [Insect King''s Vision] powered by [Art of Ghost]''s enhancement and saw a creature three hundred meters away from them.


    It was one hundred and sixty-five meters tall, its head was ''extremely'' wide, and it looked like a cross between a wolf and a bear. Its four limbs were thick and stout, and its head and body bristled with white fangs.


    The sharp tips of those fangs shone with a hellish light that would send fear coursing through one''s soul. A massive and long jet-ck tail was arched overhead, and the end of the tail gleamed with the same cold light that a de would.


    "Interesting." That is all Yu Long could say at the moment.


    Meanwhile, Jasmine was terrified.


    "N-Nine Deste Devil Fang!"


    "So, that''s the name of this cute creature." Yu Long rubbed his chin.


    Jasmine''s mouth twitched, "What part of this Primordial Devil Beast is cute? Damn it, I thought you lied about their existence in the Cloud''s End Cliff."


    "Really, Jasmine? You thought I was lying about something like this?" Yu Long couldn''t help but roll his eyes.


    "I always thought you were a liar," Jasmine grumbled in annoyance. "I will never trust a scoundrel."


    "..." Yu Long.


    He facepalmed and saw the Nine Deste Devil Fang running toward them, "Anyway, it''s just a puppy."


    "Looks, the puppy is running toward us."


    "What kind of puppy is that big!"


    "Hey, don''t discriminate! Sometimes size doesn''t matter." Yu Long said righteously.


    Jasmine wanted to smack Yu Long. Unfortunately, she can''t because the enormous dog is already pouncing on him.


    Yu Long stretched his hand casually and manipted his bone, causing white bones to stick out of his skin.


    As the bones fully out and merge into one, they be aicallyrge bone that dogs usually bite on.


    Nine Deste Devil Fang stopped awkwardly and sniffed something delicious.


    Of course, it was delicious because Yu Long''s bones are rich with vitality and profound strength. To make it even better, he infused [Ghostly Qi] and a bit of [Primordial Energy] into the bone.


    "WOOF~!" Nine Deste Devil Fang wagged its tail.


    It sat down and caused dirt to fly everywhere.


    "Good boy." Yu Long said with a little smile.


    "..." Jasmine couldn''t believe her eyes.


    What kind of sorcery is this?!


    Yu Long is the King of Monsters, which means he could understand Nine Deste Devil Fang''s actions. God knows how long the poor puppy has gotten trapped in this abyss, so he must be hungry.


    He has tamed some mutated beasts in his previous life. It was a rare case and usually happened because the mutated beasts couldn''t provide him with the preferred essence.


    Nine Deste Devil Beast slumped on the floor, chewing Yu Long''s bone in delight.


    Yu Long walked forward and stroked the devil puppy''s head, "You must be lonely here, huh?"


    Nine Deste Devil Beast whimpered, nodding its head.


    He sighed, "Evil God, you should have told me about your n, man. I''m confused with your damn deeds."


    Jasmine stayed quiet this whole time, still finding how Yu Long tamed this Primordial Devil Beast bizarre.


    After Nine Deste Devil Fang was satisfied, it nudged Yu Long.


    "Hmm, you want me to follow you?" Yu Long tilted his head.


    The Primordial Devil Beast nodded and turned around to the vast darkness.


    Yu Long shrugged and followed Nine Deste Devil Fang.


    They encounter other Primordial Devil Beasts, but Yu Long gives them treats. They act like his loyal pets now.


    Of course, not all Primordial Devil Beasts are reasonable. So Yu Long killed those beasts and turned them into an essence sphere for further research.


    Three hourster.


    Yu Long and his Primordial Devil Beasts'' followers arrived at the field of flowers. It''s not your ordinary flower field because every flower here is Netherworld Udumbara Flower!


    Its stem and leaves are of a purplish ck color and about three meters tall. The bloomed flower was a pretty and flirtatious bright purple color. On its petals lingered a light purple mist that carried the breath of theherworld, and while that mist drifted, it still faintly let out the crying andughing sounds of theher ghosts.


    Netherworld Udumbara Flower is an object of Yin and evil. It only grows in dark and coldnds.


    It took an entire twenty-four years to bloom once. The flower withers three days after blooming, repeating the cycle.


    It''s reputed to be the most terrifying flower in existence. Approaching the flower will cause one''s body to get corrupted by its sinister aura, which also damages one''s soul.


    At best, one would fall into a longstinga. At worst, one would turn into the living dead. If one''s profound strength is low, then one would immediately die.


    One more crucial usage of the Netherworld Udumbara Flower is its ability to merge one soul with a new flesh. Yes, this flower is one of the necessary ingredients for Jasmine to create her new body!


    "No way." Jasmine couldn''t contain her amazement.


    Yu Long shook his head and focused his gaze on the center of the flower field, discovering a soft white glow.


    A young girl is sleeping there.

    Chapter 157: Evil God''s Daughter


    I have added this fanfic to my P4treon Page. You can support me and read advanced chapters there. It motivate me to write more chapters for you guys!

    --- Chapter 154 ---


    Yes, a young girl was hovering in the center of the Netherworld Udumbara Flower field.


    Her lustrous bright silver clung to her delicate body, flowing to an ice-cold ground. The hair in front of her forehead danced gently, though there was no wind,plimenting her tender looks.


    Her delicate body was ''faintly'' surrounded by a white glow like a dress and curled into this round shape, looking so goddamn adorable.


    Besides wless little beauty-like qualities, the silver-haired girl also has different-colored enchanting eyes. Yes, Heterochromia!


    The top half of her right eye was pale yellow, and the bottom half gradually turned a faint green. As for her left eye, the top half was a pale blue, and the bottom half gradually became deep purple.


    A pair of eyes gives off the glows of four different colors. The colorful glow that Yu Long had managed to see seemingly caught him in an illusion.Of course, it was only for a split of a second.


    Yu Long''s mind is much stronger than this illusion, but we can see how mysterious this little girl is. Well, as expected from the Evil God''s daughter.


    At the same time, the little girl''s eyes blinked a few times. She looked around and spotted Yu Long.


    As if sensing a familiar presence from her, the little girl floated and hovered toward Yu Long. She stopped a few inches away, staring at his golden eyes quietly.


    Yu Long smiled, "Hello. I''m here on behalf of your father."


    "?" The little girl couldn''t talk and tilted her head. She doesn''t seem to know anything about this world, which surprised Yu Long for a second.


    ''Yu Long, this girl is... She''s just like me, living with a soul body.'' Jasmine realized something. ''But hers is more dense in quality than mine.''


    ''No wonder there are so many Netherworld Udumbara Flowers here. They are keeping her soul alive!''


    ''However, I don''t think she has any memories about her life...''


    Yu Long put on a thoughtful expression, "I see..."


    He stretched his hand and reached for the little girl''s head. She wasn''t dodging his hand, allowing him to pat her head.


    "Do you want to follow me outside?" He asked gently.


    The little girl squinted her eyes for a bit before nodding her head.


    "Good, I will give you a new body soon." Yu Long brought out a candy that Emperor Breaking Pills for her. "Here, take this candy."


    The little girl picked up the pill with her hand and stuffed it into her mouth like a squirrel. Her eyes widened in joy as a bright white light beamed from her body.


    "!" She gave Yu Long a nod of approval.


    "d you like it. I still have a ton of those." Yu Long chuckled in amusement.


    The little girl enjoyed the candy and grabbed Yu Long, biting his finger gently. It was like a cat nibbling on your finger.


    After that, Yu Long could feel a new connection between him and the Evil God''s daughter. Since she couldn''t stay outside this realm for too long, her only option was the Sky Poison Pearl''s dimension.


    It makes her Jasmine''s new roommate.


    The little girl finished her candy and brought out something.


    Yu Long and Jasmine narrowed their eyes because the object above the girl''s palm was none other than Evil God''s seed. To be price, Evil God''s Darkness Seed!


    ''So, Evil God really married the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor.'' Jasmine bit her finger solemnly. ''There is no other way to exin the existence of Evil God''s Darkness Seed, which radiated with pure darkness and devilish essence.''


    ''The Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor must help him in some way.''


    "Are you giving this to me?" Yu Long asked the little girl.


    The little girl nodded, "!"


    "Thank you. I will give you more dessertster." Yu Long epted the gift and stored it for further usageter. "Before we go, can you spare a flower for my friend?"


    "She needs the Netherworld Udumbara Flower to create her new body."


    Hearing Yu Long''s superficial request, the little girl nodded and hovered over the flower field again. She chose an exceptional-looking one that is slightly bigger than others and has a thickerherworld aura.


    The little girl threw the flower at Yu Long, "!"


    Yu Longughed and caught the flower, storing it in Sky Poison Pearl''s dimension so it wouldn''t wither.


    Jasmine felt touched by how Yu Long remembered his promise to help her make a new body. She looked at the Netherworld Udumbara Flower that appeared in the Sky Poison Pearl''s dimension and rolled around on her bed happily.


    ''Yu Long really cares about me!'' She sweetly smiled.


    Yu Long doesn''t know what Jasmine is doing as he secures the item so she won''t nag him to deathter. He thanked the little girl again and gave her more candy.


    The little girl couldn''t be happier. In her mundane life, she finally experienced joy.


    She even viewed Yu Long as the best person she ever met. Although she never met anyone before.


    Yu Long sat on the ground and asked, "Do you have a name?"


    "?" The little girl shook her head.


    "Do you want me to give you one?"


    "!" The little girl nodded slowly.


    Yu Long rubbed his chin, "Let''s see... Your father, Evil God, has Ni surname."


    "Yeyue. Ni Yeyue."


    The little girl blinked in satisfaction, "!"


    "Do you like it?" Yu Long rubbed the little girl''s head.


    Ni Yeyue didn''t say anything and hugged him.


    "Good. It seems my naming sense isn''t that bad, after all."


    Yu Long nced at the Primordial Devil Beasts who followed him here and told them to wait. He would connect this pocket dimension to the Heaven Basin Secret Realm soon.


    Nine Deste Devil Fang and many others let out a sad roar. They wanted more snacks!


    Yu Long helplessly gave them some bones and left the abyss with Ni Yeyue in his arms.


    Ni Yeyue looked around with her eyes and enjoyed the scenery outside. It was bright and warm, very differentpared to the abyss.


    She patted Yu Long''s chest and pointed at the bright sun above them.


    "That''s the sun." Yu Long answered calmly.


    Upon receiving the answer, Ni Yeyue nodded and pointed at the vast sea behind them.


    "That''s the ocean."


    "!"


    "That''s the mountain."


    After asking hundreds of questions, Ni Yeyue finally calmed down and felt sleepy. She looks satisfied and enters the Sky Poison Pearl''s dimension.


    "?" Ni Yeyue faced Jasmine, who rolled herself like a burrito with a fool-like grin.


    "..." Jasmine awkwardly froze on the spot.


    ...


    Yu Long heard a cry of surprise from the Sky Poison Pearl''s dimension and shrugged because Jasmine must have been somewhat surprised by Ni Yeyue''s sudden appearance.


    "Well, the mission that Evil God gave me is half-finished." Yu Longmented while stretching his body.


    He looked at the morning sky and thought, ''Next, I must visit the Divine Phoenix Empire as the Primordial Ark where the other half of Ni Yeyue''s self got sealed.''


    ''If I didn''t read Against the God''s story, I would have been roaming around aimlessly.'' Yu Long kicked the ground and flew to the Thousand Weapons Association.


    At the same time, one of the superpowers on the Azure Cloud Continent was rmed.


    Seven Stars Divine Pce.


    "What? Why did the soulmp of Su Haoran die?" An elder stood up.


    "T-This... Does the n of obtaining the treasure''s key fail? Tsk, I shouldn''t have believed that young brat."


    "Whatever, since he failed to obtain the key. I will visit the Grandwake n and take the Coiling Dragon Feeler(heavenly herb) myself."


    "It''s just a first-rate n anyway." He arrogantly snorted.


    Unfortunately for this elder, the Seven Stars Divine Pce will cease to exist because of his action. A bloody storm is about to sweep over the Azure Cloud Continent.

    Link: /NineClouds69


    --- Chapter 155 ---


    Upon returning to the Thousand Weapons Association, Yu Long smelled the rusty blood in the air. It was faint, but Yu Long''s sense cannot be wrong.


    His expression eased a little when he realized the bloody air came from the dungeon. It must be Su Meiling who dealt with her hateful members of the Grandwake n.


    Yu Long teleported to the dungeon and heard heavy breathing. As he stepped down the stairs, he saw Su Meiling surrounded by bits of flesh, bones, and blood.


    Su Meiling''s ck hair also turned dirty auburn, which fits her current crazed look. She looks like someone who wed her way out of hell with ck blood-like tears running from her eyes.


    On top of that, Yu Long noticed Su Meiling''s cultivation base abruptly jumped from the peak of Earth Profound Realm to the 5th level of Sky Profound Realm.


    And no, this has nothing to do with Emperor Breaking Pills. Su Meiling experienced this rapid breakthrough naturally from sheer emotional release.''What a fascinating specimen.'' Yu Long thought while staring at Su Meiling with bright eyes.


    He pped his hand and walked inside, "Congrattions on achieving your revenge."


    "Not yet..." Su Meiling answered quietly and closed her eyes.


    "After some torture, they finally opened their mouths about the incident that caused myte husband''s death. They have nned a coup for a long time, and with the support of Seven Stars Divine Pce, they eventually dared to make a move."


    "With the price of the Grandwake n''s treasured item, Coiling Dragon Feelers, Seven Stars Divine Pce, and the Grand Elder orchestrated a n through ckwood Stronghold."


    "Unfortunately for them, my husband stored the key in the treasure storage keenly. Even after years, they can''t find it."


    "So, you wanted to attack the Seven Stars Divine Pce now?" Yu Long asked casually.


    Su Meiling turned around and gazed at Yu Long, "If you allow me to."


    "I have no power or authority topete with the Seven Stars Divine Pce, but you did." She put on a self-mocked smile. "Even If I asked for your help, I know the price won''t be light."


    "This is my personal revenge, and I can''t sell the Grandwake n more than our earlier agreement."


    "The only thing I can offer is myself."


    "Then, give yourself to me." Yu Long chuckled reassuringly. "I will give you power and influence to trample over the Azure Cloud Continent."


    He wanted to know more about Su Meiling''s condition and stretched his right hand, seemingly inviting her into the darkness.


    Su Meiling was stunned for a second. She stared at Yu Long''s hand and grabbed it, epting the devil''s hand.


    ...


    Five minutester, Yu Long and Su Meiling returned from the dungeon.


    "You may consume three Emperor Breaking Pills. Although your rapid breakthrough was natural, your overall foundation is weak." He calmly instructed her.


    "Okay." Su Meiling listened attentively.


    "Also, what Profound Art did you cultivate?" Yu Long asked.


    Su Meiling narrowed her eyes in confusion and still answered, "It''s a long-passed Profound Art called Three Earthly Methods. This profound art is the second most cultivated in the Grandwake n''s library."


    "Oh, what''s the first?"


    "The most cultivated Profound Art is actually mandatory for every n member. It''s called the Rootless Revolution."


    "Quite an ingenious name." Yu Long raised his brow.


    Su Meiling smiled weakly and exined, "The Grandwake n obtained three profound arts(two which were Three Earthly Methods and Rootless Revolution, and one that''s offensive profound art), two defensive artifacts, and one heavenly herb from a mysterious expert."


    "Our ancestors didn''t say much about the mysterious expert as he simply came and disappeared from the Azure Cloud Continent like a ghost, but these gifts were definitely the foundation of the Grandwake n."


    Yu Long frowned, "Is there a possibility the mysterious expert is from outside?"


    "There is. We all thought the same but couldn''t do anything about it. With our n''s strength, we couldn''t search for the mysterious expert on the vast ocean, no?" Su Meiling reminisced about her banters with herte husband. They have this same conversation.


    "That''s true... Do you have a copy of these Profound Arts?" Yu Long couldn''t help but rub his eyes in expectation.


    "I do, but what do you want to do with them?" Su Meiling answered with a nod. As the current n leader, she always brought backup resources in case the Grandwake n got destroyed or experienced great danger.


    Yu Long smiled, "I''m going to take a look and modify them to suit your overall physical conditions."


    "..." Su Meiling felt like she was facing a deity or something.


    ...


    Yu Long whistled his way through to the dining room. It''s time for lunch, but he couldn''t find wives and maids anywhere.


    "Where are they?"


    "They are roaming around the Azure Cloud Continent." Said Ye Zhi, who leaned against the door.


    Yu Long turned around, "Eh, and they didn''t tell me beforehand?"


    Ye Zhi gave Yu Long a ''Are you serious'' look and returned, "Lord Shadow, you also didn''t tell them you wanted to visit the Cloud''s End Cliff."


    "Ah." Yu Long scratched his cheek. "I have no defense on that matter."


    "It''s better to be cautious so I don''t bring them along."


    "Understandable." As a woman herself, Ye Zhi knew the reason behind Shadow Brides'' annoyance, but she also understood the intention behind Yu Long''s action. He''s just being rational.


    She was curious about something, though.


    "Lord Shadow, Do you find something in the Cloud''s End Cliff?"


    "It was an abyss." Yu Long replied while taking a seat. "I encountered and tamed several Primordial Devil Beasts."


    "I also confirmed the death of our Shadow Agents. Some of the tamed Primordial Devil Beasts told me they perished under the ws of aggressive Devil-Winged Typhoon Tiger."


    "Well, the situation there is special. One couldn''t fly, and the darkness energy slowly corrupted one''s being."


    "Thankfully, the shadow agents cultivated [Art of Reaper] and [Art of Lesser Ghost], so they fought until theirst breaths."


    "D-Did you kill the beast?" Ye Zhi clenched her hand tightly.


    Yu Long didn''t say anything and threw something to the ground, staining the carpet with filthy ck blood. It was a freshly decapitated tiger''s head, which is five times bigger than a normal tiger.


    There is also a dense devil aura from it.


    Ye Zhi''s eyes radiated with coldness as she suddenly moved. She pulled a de from the hidden sheath on her tights and began shing the tiger''s head continuously.


    "Die, die, die!"


    "H-How dare you take myrades'' lives!"


    Yu Long watched this silently, allowing Ye Zhi to vent her emotions.


    Then, he noticed something inside Ye Zhi as if the hate overflowed in her profound veins and triggered a miraculous change simr to chemical reactions.


    It''s just like Su Meiling!


    ''Wait... Now that I think about it, Hong Guan experienced a simr thing when we wiped the Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Fortress.'' Yu Long was close to the truth. However, he couldn''t get his hand into it directly.


    As Yu Long deeply thought about something, Ye Zhi''s de was ''finely'' covered by a thinyer of thunder and wind.


    Both elements came from her profound aspects, and she finally cut through the tiger''s head.


    Just a reminder, the Devil-Winged Devil Tiger is around the peak of the Divine Origin Realm. And Ye Zhi, as a mortal profound practitioner, could damage its flesh and bones, showing her might.


    "Cool your head." Yu Long threw a towel at Ye Zhi.


    "I have another mission for you."


    Ye Zhi wiped devil blood from her face, "What is it?"


    "Destroy the Seven Stars Divine ce as the opening for our Shadow Realm in the Azure Cloud Continent."


    "This..." Ye Zhi''s cold eyes lit up.


    "Yup, the very mission you wanted." Yu long grinned at her.


    Ye Zhi bowed, "Thank you, Lord Shadow!"


    Yu Long waved his hand and continued, "It was part of a deal. I will give you fifteen hours as I don''t have much time left here."


    "What''s the matter?" Ye Zhi couldn''t help but question. With Yu Long''s power, he shouldn''t be tight on time.


    Yu Long tapped the dining table and replied, "Well, something big will happen in the Heavenly Sword Vi. I left Hong Guan and Lily there, but the iing enemy is too much."


    "Even for them?" Ye Zhi was shocked. She might hate Chu Yueli for taking her spot as the Shadow Bride, but she knew ''normal'' women couldn''t have those positions.


    Hong Guan and Lily are the most prominent shadow agents. They are the founders, and their legends resound in the Shadow Realm.


    Yet they couldn''t handle this iing enemy?


    "They won''t lose, but won''t win either." Yu Longughed mysteriously.


    Duhan, the Death Knight, is not your average Kaiju.


    However, it can be applied to Hong Guan and Lily as well. They aren''t your average women.


    They followed Yu Long the longest than anyone in this world and possessed power that many hasn''t witnessed.


    On top of that, Hong Guan and Lily are his soon-to-be wives!

    --- Chapter 156 ---


    After receiving the order from Yu Long, Ye Zhi immediately made her move.


    She knew there was no need for the Lord Shadow to partake in this lowly conquest, so she summoned the elite shadow agents in the Thousand Weapons Association.


    Sitting at a table, Ye Zhi faced fifteen shadow agents of her elite legion.


    They are Shadow Phantom just like her, but she was more powerful than them by a mile. "Listen up, Lord Shadow has given us his order." She said calmly, making the shadow agents'' hearts jump in excitement.


    Ye Zhi smiled at them, "I know that you''re excited. I''m also excited."


    "We finally can show Shadow Realm''s power to the Azure Cloud Continent.""Lord Shadow, he gives us a big one this time. A mission to destroy the Seven Stars Divine Pce!"


    "Woah! Long Lives, Lord Shadow!" The shadow agents collectively cried fanatically.


    They have stayed in the Azure Cloud Continent for months, and it''s time for their debut.


    Ye Zhi pped her hand and said, "Quiet, boys. We will make this clean and overpowering. So prepare your gear and meet me outside in ten minutes."


    ...


    Ten minutester.


    Ye Zhi and fifteen shadow agents moved from the Thousand Weapons Association. They flew over the Grandwake Mountain and sensed an Emperor Profound Expert rushing to the Grandwake n.


    They intercept the shady-looking elder and make him frown.


    "Who are you people?" The elder grumbled in displeasure.


    "How dare you stop me!"


    Ye Zhi dug her ears and asked, "What are you doing here in Grandwake Mountain? Don''t tell me you want to visit the Grandwake n and do some shady stuff?"


    The elder narrowed his eyes at Ye Zhi and gasped as he never found such a beautiful yet valiant-looking woman. Well, Ye Zhi''s figure is differentpared to the thin standard.


    "Oy, answer me." Ye Zhi''s expression darkened as she noticed the elder eyeing her with a nasty look. It disgusts her more than anything.


    "Hey, woman. I will forget this offense, but you must warm my bed tonight." The elder grinned at Ye Zhi.


    Ye Zhi sighed and hovered, still hiding her cultivation base. From the elder''s perspective, she was only in the early stage of Sky Profound Realm.


    The elderughed because he thought Ye Zhi agreed with him.


    Unfortunately for him, Ye Zhi didn''te to his side for submission.


    Ye Zhi calmly ced her hand on the elder''s face and ripped it off his head.


    "RAAAAAAAAAARGH! MY FACE, MY FACE!" He let out a blood-curdling scream.


    Ye Zhi kept an apathetic expression and choked the elder''s neck, bringing him up slowly.


    The elder kept wailing, "YOU BITCH! I WILL KILL YOU!"


    "DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM? I''M THE ELDER OF SEVEN STARS DIVINE PALACE, DUAN JINYE!"


    "I WILL FUCK YOU TO DEATH!"


    Ye Zhi finally smiled, "Oh, Seven Stars Divine Pce? What a coincidence because we are going there."


    "Good, I will keep you alive for a few more minutes." She drew a hidden de and stabbed the elder in the chest. Her strike was so swift and precise, sealing the target''s acupuncture points.


    The elder couldn''t scream because Ye Zhi blocked his pathway. He looked at Ye Zhi with a terrified look, experiencing slow and painful torture as sharp energy ruptured his body from the inside.


    "Shadow Phantoms, let''s go." Ye Zhi kicked the air and flew to the Seven Stars Divine Pce. She dragged the elder along, making him look like a bloody ragdoll.


    ...


    Seven Stars Divine Pce.


    As Ye Zhi and the squad arrived at the Seven Stars Divine Pce, they didn''t bother to conceal their presence.


    Before a mighty city-like pce, their collective bloodlust terrorized everyone.


    Ye Zhi opened her mouth, "Remember, kill anyone rted to the Seven Stars Divine Pce."


    "Yes!" Fifteen shadow phantoms moved. Anywhere they go, rusty blood smells will follow.


    Ye Zhi stood still and threw the bloody elder to the ground, using him as her seat. She hummed patiently and waited for the strong line-ups from the Seven Stars Divine Pce to appear.


    It wasn''t long.


    After all, several monarchs or Sovereign Profound Experts appeared in the sky. They frowned at the sight of the massacre that the shadow phantoms created.


    The one who leads these experts is a peak-level monarch. He''s a tall man with long ck hair and brown eyes, wearing this gold-adorned ck robe.


    "What''s the meaning of this?" The leader roared.


    "Who are you people?!"


    Ye Zhi grinned and announced, "Wee. I assume you''re Duan Heisha, the pce master of the Seven Stars Divine Pce?"


    The leader''s expression turned ugly, "Are you the one behind this?"


    Ye Zhi shrugged, "Well, you could say so."


    "You guys started it first."


    "This dumbass schemed against our ally, so we received a mission to wipe the Seven Stars Divine Pce to the ground..." She continued, smacking the bloody elder gently.


    "T-That''s Elder Jinye!" One of the monarch experts recognized Duan Jinye, though Ye Zhi had ripped his face off.


    The pce master''s expression bes more unsightly. One could see how angry he was. His skin reddened, and his veins bulged.


    BOOM!


    Without further ado, the pce master disappeared from the sky.


    Ye Zhi tilted her to the left and dodged the pce master''s sneak attack, smirking yfully at him.


    "You''re also a monarch..." The pce master frowned.


    "Surprised?" Ye Zhi burst out with the might of a tiger.


    ROAR! BAM!


    The pce master was ''forcibly'' blown away, causing the other monarchs to gasp in disbelief.


    "Pce Master!"


    "What are you waiting for? Stop the other attackers! Leave this woman to me!" Duan Heishanded on the ground with a solemn look and shouted at his subordinates.


    Hearing Duan Heisha''s rational order, the monarch-level elders could only


    grit their teeth and nod. They quickly chased after the fifteen shadow phantoms.


    As they left, Duan Heisha''s expression abruptly paled, and he coughed a mouthful of blood.


    "Monster." He gazed at Ye Zhi.


    Ye Zhi stood on the spot. Her eyes have turned tiger-like. And her arms gained some faint golden-striped ck furs.


    "Commendable, but you can''t change the fate of your Seven Stars Divine Pce." Ye Zhi said, stomping the bloody elder into a pulp.


    Duan Heisha trembled, but he kept a strong front. "Even if I have to die, I will protect the Seven Stars Divine Pce!"


    "We will see about that." Ye Zhi pulled a dagger from her tights.


    BAM!


    Ye Zhi and Duan Heisha fought at the entrance of Seven Stars Divine Pce. The sight of dagger flying and silver light countered shed one after another, destroying several buildings.


    BOOM!


    Duan Heisha stalled for a time as he tried to find Ye Zhi''s weakness. Yet the more he fought, the more he realized he wasn''t her opponent.


    Not to mention, Duan Heisha''s injuries kept piling up every time he tried to defend himself.


    ''I have no other choices. I have to drag inside the Seven Stars Killing Arrays.'' Duan Heisha threw a fake attack and ran away with all his might.


    Ye Zhi squinted her eyes but decided to go along. She wanted to see what kind of trick Duan Heisha had in his sleeve.


    After following Duan Heisha into the Seven Stars Divine Pce, Ye Zhi is ''perfectly'' surrounded by seven humanoid statues. Each statue has a disfigured appearance.


    "Hahaha, die you witch!" Duan Heishaughed with murderous intent.


    He waved his hand signs, and the seven statue''s eyes lit up.


    A heptagon-shaped barrier locked Ye Zhi and overwhelmed her with this weird green-yellow light. This green-yellow light seemed able to melt everything inside the formation.


    Ye Zhi sighed, "How boring..."


    [Art of Thousand Weapons - Ultimate Technique: Torrential Weapon Rains]


    Ye Zhi walked forward, and her aura suddenly exploded. All of a sudden, countless needles appeared.


    And these needles were actually many kinds of weapons that were ''thoroughly''pressed with spatial power.


    "This can''t be... This power, P-Profound God-!" A blinding light filled Duan Heisha''s vision as the spatial power released thepressed weapons in all directions.


    BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!


    The Seven Stars Divine Pce experiencedplete destruction with Ye Zhi as its center. There are no massive pces, tiled grounds, and statues.


    On the thousand miles of squarend, the only thing left was a massive crater.


    The Seven Stars Divine Pce was destroyed!

    --- Chapter 157 ---


    "T-This is... How could this ce be the Seven Stars Divine Pce?"


    "There is nothing here."


    After receiving a message from Ye Zhi, Yu Long immediately brought Su Meiling to the Seven Stars Divine Pce. However, the empty sight shook them.


    Su Meiling stood on the t ground with a shocked expression. Although she has been guessing the power of Yu Long''s organization, this is too much!


    Yu Long chuckled and replied, "Ye Zhi was somewhat too excited. It''s her first active mission after months."


    Gulp!''I don''t know she was this strong...'' Su Meiling unconsciously swallowed her saliva and nced at Ye Zhi, who wiped blood from her skin. And those bloods weren''t hers.


    Ye Zhi felt Su Meiling''s gaze and waved her hand once, causing an awkward smile to appear on the widow''s face.


    Yu Long shook his head gently and asked, "Ye Zhi, you didn''t destroy Seven Stars Divine Pce''s resources, right? I couldn''t possibly lose countless profound arts and rare materials because of you..."


    Ye Zhi blushed in shame and answered, "Well, I did tell the boys to handle those things."


    "Look, they are here."


    "Lord Shadow, we have umted everything the best we could..." One shadow agent stepped forward and presented a spatial ring to Yu Long.


    Yu Long didn''t like the phrase ''the best we could'' from the shadow agent''s mouth and checked the spatial ring''s content.


    Yup, his hunch is valid. Yu Long''s mouth twitched because some books and herbs had this scorch mark.


    ''Well, I can always extract essencester.'' Yu Long sighed helplessly.


    Even though Ye Zhi razzed this ce to the ground and literally evaporated everything, she couldn''t erase the essence in the atmosphere.


    If the death wasn''t too long, Yu Long could extract even atomic essence with [Kaiju Maker] and form an essence sphere.


    "The smell of death isn''t weak." Yu Long created essence spheres and stored them forter uses.


    He stuffed the spatial ring into his pocket and said, "Okay, let''s return to the base."


    "Lord Shadow, should we leave our mark first?" Ye Zhi couldn''t help but utter her idea. "You know, to mark the emergence of the Shadow Realm?"


    ''What do you mean? You''ve marked the wholend already.'' Everyone stared at Ye Zhi speechlessly.


    "Do whatever you want. No, do it in moderation." Yu Long was about to let Ye Zhi loose again. But he quickly realized his mistake and fixed his order.


    Ye Zhi smiled happily and began instructing her legion to move. They will make a grand speech for the Shadow Realm''s appearance on this emptynd.


    Yu Long extended his hand to Su Meiling, "Let''s go."


    "Mm." Su Meiling nodded meekly and felt shy holding Yu Long''s hand, but she did it anyway.


    She has already given herself to him anyway.


    ''I didn''t expect myself to be worth the destruction of Seven Stars Divine Pce. The Azure Cloud Continent won''t be very calm soon.'' Su Meiling felt Yu Long''s strong and warm hand.


    They quickly teleported away, leaving a swaying dust.


    ...


    Yu Long and Su Meiling suddenly appeared one hundred miles from thend formerly used as the Seven Stars Divine Pce''s ground, which confused thetter. They awkwardly hovered above a smallke.


    "Why stop?" Asked Su Meiling. She could see a weird expression on Yu Long''s face.


    Meanwhile, Yu Long was on alert. He raised his left hand and saw the Sky Poison Pearl''s mark shing with green intensity.


    ''Jasmine, do you feel it as well?''


    ''Yes, the other half of Sky Poison Pearl is close.'' Jasmine answered while patting Ni Yeyue to sleep on her bed.


    Yu Long closed his eyes because he believed the other half of Sky Poison Pearl should be on the bottom of the Cloud''s End Cliff. However, his mind was foggy as he couldn''t remember every detail.


    ''Did I forget about something?'' Yu Long ransacked through his memories until he remembered an important detail.


    The protagonist''s first master. The Medical Saint, Yun Gu!


    Yun Gu is also the possessor of Sky Poison Pearl before passing it to the protagonist, Yun Che, prior to his death.


    Yu Long facepalmed because he had forgotten such a detail.


    He blindsided this part of information as the Ancestral God''s influence on rewinding the Azure Cloud Continent randomly due to his interference.


    Yu Long used [Karmic Sight]. And as expected, his golden thread was ''gently'' tugged again just like when he was about to me Su Ling''er.


    "Follow me." Yu Long said to Su Meiling and flew to the west.


    "O-Okay." Su Meiling and chased after him.


    Since she entered the Sky Profound Realm a few hours ago, her ''profound floating technique'' is naturally poor. She barely kept up with Yu Long as they traveled over a jungle.


    They arrived at the quiet part of the jungle and discovered a humble-looking shed. Some smoke came from the chimney, which meant someone lived there.


    Yu Long knocked on the door, "Hello, does anyone live here?"


    Kriek~!


    As the door opened, Yu Long and Su Meiling saw a thin-looking yet healthy elder.


    He had a long white beard, long white brows, and long white hair, yet his face was not the least bit covered with wrinkles, and his eyes were as clear as water. He wore this old but clean white robe.


    His entire figure felt like a hermit or maybe a secluded sage.


    "Hello, who might you be?" The elder smiled at Yu Long calmly. There is no sign of wariness in his voice as if he believed Yu Long.


    Yu Long found it weird and went straight to the point, "I want the Sky Poison Pearl."


    "Pardon?" The elder finally shook a little.


    "I know you have it, so please don''t y this clueless game." Yu Long sighed and showed his Sky Poison Pearl''s mark. "The Sky Poison Pearl is mine. And you are currently in possession of the other half."


    "Before you stop talking about being wise, the Sky Poison Pearl won''t acknowledge someone so easily. This mark is the sign ofplete ownership."


    "This..." Yun Gu was overwhelmed. "Why didn''t youe in and have tea?"


    "Fine." Yu Long rolled his eyes. He expected some bullshit to happen sooner orter.


    Yun Gu smiled at Su Meiling, "You can also enter, miss."


    ...


    Everyone sat around a small table, and Yun Gu made tea for Yu Long and Su Meiling.


    "To think the real owner of Sky Poison Pearl wille to me. Maybe this is fate, after all." Yun Gu sighed while stroking his beard wisely.


    "I have no problem giving the Sky Poison Pearl to you, but..."


    ''Welp, here we go.'' Yu Long knew the Medical Saint would not agree to his request this easily.


    "But?" On the other hand, Su Meiling was curious. She finally recognized Yun Gu as his legend of saving countless lives as Miracle Doctor spread on the Azure Cloud Continent.


    Unfortunately, the Medical Saint has been in seclusion for years. Many people thought he died, but here he is. He drank tea and acted all mysterious!


    Yun Gu peeked at Yu Long and continued, "But you must help me withsomething first."


    "I couldn''t help but notice the medicine scent from you, young man. I assume your medical expertise is no lower than mine."


    "So-so." Yu Long answered half-assedly.


    "It''s good to be humble." Yun Gu nodded with a smile.


    ''I''m not being humble, old man.''


    Yun Gu stretched his hand to a drawer and picked an ancient-looking scroll. He ced it on the table and exined, "I have a dying patient, and she needs immediate medical aid."


    "The problem is, her illness is weird."


    "This scroll is called Heavenly Medicine Manual. I found it by ident years ago and have studied it to help others. Sadly, I couldn''t deduce a way to help her with my level ofprehension."


    ''This scroll. It''s a Creation God''s Legacy.'' Yu Long thought to himself. ''If I guessed correctly, it must be Li Suo''s Legacy.''


    ''This scroll is the only Divine Light Art ever created since the Primordial Age of Gods...''


    Li Suo is one of the Creation Gods. Strictly speaking, she was the sister of Evil God himself.


    No wonder Yun Gu is having a hard time learning it.


    He gazed at the Medical Saint, "How much have you deduced so far?"


    "Not much, just 30% of it." Yun Gu answered humbly.


    The corner of Yu Long''s mouth twitched because learning 30% of Creation God''s legacy is no ordinary feat.


    "So you want me to help you deduce a certain part of this scroll?"


    "Yes. I''m ashamed of myself, hehe."


    "Very well, but I will take this scroll with me."


    Yun Gu chuckled sincerely, "Take it. This old man has learned enough for now, and the patient''s life is more important than this."


    ''Not gonna lie, he''s a noble character.'' Yu Long praised.

 Chapter 161: Li Suos Legacy, and Awakening Method

    Chapter 161: Li Suo''s Legacy, and Awakening Method


    I have added this fanfic to my P4treon Page. You can support me and read advanced chapters there. It motivate me to write more chapters for you guys!


    Link: /NineClouds69


    --- Chapter 158 ---


    Yu Long sipped his tea and scanned through the ancient scroll from one part to another. His mind is working at full speed, deducing the legacy left by the God of Creation.


    Li Suo''s Legacy!


    This Divine Scripture contained a mysterious Medical Knowledge Law of "Creation" referenced from the Primordial Seal of Life & Death. Yes, another heavenly profound treasure.


    However, Yu Long quickly discovered that this scroll was iplete. So, Yun Gu only learned 15% of the whole thing. Still,mendable.


    ''No wonder he couldn''t treat his patient. Even if he filled up the nk himself, he couldn''t possibly know that the Primordial Seal of Life & Death was needed in this treatment.'' Yu Long sighed inwardly.


    No matter how much Yun Gu tried to deduce the Divine Scripture, he couldn''t do anything.Fortunately, Yu Long has [Kaiju Maker]. He doesn''t need the Primordial Seal of Life & Death to treat Yun Gu''s patient.


    "Done." Yu Long said while rolling the scroll back.


    Yun Gu''s eyes widened, "S-So fast."


    "Are you sure you''ve read the Heavenly Medicine Manual throughly?"


    Yu Long rolled his eyes, "Yes. Throw three random questions, and I will answer them."


    Yun Gu was shocked, but he still decided to ask a few questions.


    "What''s the source of Green Blood Disease?" He gazed at Yu Long solemnly.


    "Poison." Yu Long answered nonchntly. "When a mother bore an infant, she might have ingested too much toxin or been bitten by a poisonous creature, which led to her womb being affected by it."


    "This practice is ''actually'' used when parents want to build early resistance against poison for their child, but this method shouldn''t be rmended because of its extreme mortality rate."


    "The surviving infant was then born with Green Blood Disease. An inborn mutation of their blood."


    Yun Gu''s eyes shed in delight as he continued, "What about Spirit Complex."


    "Spirit Complex, huh? It''s more injuries than the disease and happened due to the bacsh of overtaxing one''s mental power." Yu Long answered thoughtfully. "There are many methods to cure the Spirit Complex, but only one could guarantee a patient''s life."


    "And what is that?" Yun Gu smiled at Yu Long.


    Yu Long ignored Yun Gu''s smile and added, "Spirit Recovery Pill and a treatment of Yang(Light) Element."


    "Good, good." Yun Gu nodded in agreement. "Then, this is myst question."


    "Do you know how to treat, if possible, cure Devil''s Roots Mark?"


    Yu Long snorted, "You''re deliberately asking this question. Your patient was the one with Devil''s Roots Mark, no?"


    Yun Gu chuckled and didn''t say much after that, waiting for Yu Long''s answer.


    Yu Long sighed and replied, "Devil''s Roots Mark isn''t a disease. It''s a blood curse that originated from the ancient era. I don''t know how your patient gets this rare curse, but a ''normal'' method won''t work."


    "Humans of this era are weak, so their resistance is weaker than people of the ancient era. You can only relieve some symptoms, but the patient will experience bitter pain every week or two."


    "To curse Devil''s Roots Mark, an extraction tool is needed. You must have heard of the Primordial Seal of Life & Death."


    "Curse, Primordial Sea of Life & Death..."


    "Wait, so we need the Primordial Seal of Life & Death to cure Devil''s Roots Mark?" Yun Gu''s expression darkened.


    He had heard of this legendary artifact before and even searched it all over the Azure Cloud Continent once, but he knew such a powerful tool shouldn''t exist here.


    "You couldn''t possibly have it, right?" He gave Yu Long a bright look.


    Yu Long smirked, "No, I don''t have the Primordial Seal of Life & Death."


    "I have something better than that."


    "Good, let''s treat her immediately!" Yun Gu excitedly jumped from his seat and grabbed a bag filled with medicine and herbs.


    "..." Yu Long.


    Meanwhile, Su Meiling was amazed. Yu Long actually possessed such profound medical knowledge.


    "How did you know so much, Yu Long?"


    Yu Long nced at her and smiled, "Without understanding the human body, I couldn''t make suitable profound art. There is a saying that the human body is like a treasure trove to me, and profound art is the key to unlocking those treasures."


    "For me, it''s like a fun game to spend my time."


    "G-Game?"


    "Don''t take it too literally. It''s just a matter of perspective."


    "Okay, I have brought everything we needed." Yun Gu ced a straw coat and hat.


    "Let''s go!"


    Yu Long and Su Meling have aplicated look on their faces as they follow the Medical Saint outside.


    They walked on foot for two hours, which annoyed Yu Long for a while, but Yun Gu casually said he needed a few medicinal herbs on their way there.


    At the same time, Yu Long contacted Zilong about his discovery, and the dragon was shocked. The dragon told Yu Long about the deep history of Li Suo''s Legacy, how it was ''extremely'' feared by the Devil Race, and its real name.


    Miracle of Life! Yes, this is the ''true'' name of Heavenly Medicine Manual.


    After collecting some herbs, they finally arrived at a small vige with dpidated wooden walls. It seems profound beasts were attacking this ce recently.


    Yun Gu doesn''t seem surprised by the vige''s condition and knocks on the entrance gate. "This is Yun Gu. Please let me in."


    A head poked out of the gap carefully, "Ah, Grandpa Gu!"


    "Chief, Grandpa Gu is here!"


    The gate opened, and seven people entered Yu Long''s vision. Their weary appearance while wielding the makeshift weapons in their hands made Yu Long narrow his eyes slightly.


    "Medical Saint, they are..." Su Meiling opened her mouth slowly.


    "This is a refugee camp. Recently, the profound beasts have be more aggressive, which led to the destruction of several viges. The survivor ran over the forest and settled here."


    ''Aggressive profound beast.'' Yu Long rubbed his chin. He observed the man who seemed to be the leader of this refugee camp and moved his gaze back to Yun Gu''s back.


    The leader is a burly man with short brown hair and tattered clothes. He also wore leather armor on top made from profound beast''s skins, looking particrly tribal.


    As for his strength, the man is surprisingly only at the 7th level of Spirit Profound Realm.


    "Doctor, you finally returned!" The man said with an excited grin.


    Yun Gu calmly waved his hand and said, "Yes, nice to meet you again, Chief Dan. I''m here for Little Naya."


    Chief Dan''s grin widened even further, "Of course, Little Naya is waiting in her room as usual. We tried our best to control her condition, but your treatment will definitely save her life."


    "These two are?" He gazed at Yu Long and Su Meiling.


    Yun Gu replied calmly, "This young man is Yu Long. He''s very skilled in the Medical Field and not inferiorpared to me."


    "As for thedy, she''s Su Meiling. Yu Long''spanion."


    Although Yun Gu knew Su Meiling was the leader of the Grandwake n, there is a limit to one''s selfishness. He couldn''t possibly drag someone to his nuisance.


    Chief Dan invited them inside the base, and Yu Long''s eyes scanned over the wooden building. He was surprised to find these buildings being well-built.


    They entered a small hut and met with a sick-looking youngdy in a green dress. The dress is tattered and filled with patches, but it is not something amoner could buy.


    Cough! Cough!


    She coughed profusely.


    The youngdy''s eyes lit up after seeing Yun Gu, "Grandpa Gu."


    "Little Naya, Ie to treat your illness." Grandpa Gu smiled warmly. He couldn''t bear seeing the sick girl''s condition and told her to sit down.


    The youngdy''s name is Mu Naya. She was the only surviving member of the Mu Family, who lived in the west but was ''recently'' massacred due to the profound beast''s wave.


    Yun Gu made a medicinal brew to lessen Mu Naya''s pain, and Yu Long checked her condition with [Kaiju Maker].


    ''This, another case of awakening...'' Yu Long discovered that Mu Naya''s condition is simr to Hong Guan, Ye Zhi, and Su Meiling!


    She still has the Devil''s Roots Curse, which deteriorates her body from the inside out. However, the awakening from extreme emotions fought the curse back, like a regeneration power against cancer cells.


    Yu Long opened his mouth, "Hey, do you feel a surge of power when witnessing your family''s end?"


    Mu Naya''s body shook when hearing Yu Long''s question. She clutched her head and began crying.


    "Oh, no. Yu Long, what have you done?" Yun Gu was speechless by this sudden oue.


    Yu Long put his finger on the lip and hushed Yun Gu, which shut the Medical Saint.


    Mu Naya''s tears dropped, "It''s my fault. I''m just a useless, spoiled brat."


    "My father, mother, and brothers died because of me."


    "Aah!"She let out a scream of misery.


    BOOM!


    An eruption of profound energy released from Mu Naya''s body, and Yu Long quickly ced his hand on her forehead.


    [Art of Violet Mist X Miracle of Life x Great Way of Buddha: Divine Light Recovery]


    Yu Long used three profound arts simultaneously, promoting intense healing properties in Mu Naya''s body.


    He was gambling with Mu Naya''s life right now, wanting to see the limit of this new ''awakening'' he discovered.


    Mu Naya''s hair fell off, and a new one grew out.


    Her dry skin rejuvenated as the pores released filth inside her body.


    As if Yu Long gave her a baptism, Mu Naya rebirth anew with a method one had never heard before.


    BOOM!


    ''Hahaha, sess!'' Yu Longughed inside. With thest eruption, a young woman currently stood on the ground. She has wless skin and appearance, which could make any woman jealous.


    She might wear a tattered dress, but it gives off a fallen princess''s atmosphere more than anything.


    Yu Long observed Mu Naya''s body with [Kaiju Maker] and discovered her body waspletely different than before. Profound energy flowed naturally into her body as if she was born for it.


    The most important transformation is that her gic locks and chains are unlocked!


    ''Intense emotion.''


    ''Rebirth anew.''


    ''Opening gic locks within oneself.''


    ''Breaking the normal standard.''


    Yu Long''s mind went wild with this new discovery, and one memory from his past life shed.


    In Yu Long''s previous life, an S-Rank Esper stood out among the crowds of awakeners. He used to be an F-Rank Cannon Fodder but experienced intense emotion to the point he broke limitations in his body.


    In a true sense, he shattered the chains of fate bound to him.


    Everyone called him "Desperado."

    --- Chapter 159 ---


    A middle-aged man in futuristic-looking blue armor stood on the ragged building. His appearance is very ordinary, but he has this aura that makes onefortable.


    "Kid, your ability is much stronger than mine." He opened his mouth while gazing at the sky.


    "I only can make things bend and elerate, but yours transcended that."


    "However, I have something you don''t, kid!" A grin stered his face.


    "What is it?" A ck-haired young man asked, grumbling in displeasure.


    The man rested his hands on his hip andughed to the sky, "Struggle!""A man must struggle through hardship!"


    "The blood-pumping adrenaline and overflowing emotion will make one''s ability mature, and yours is no different. I believe one day you will be just like me..."


    "A Desperado!"


    ...


    Yu Long blinked his eyes and stared at Mu Naya. She has transformed from a sick-looking girl to a healthy young woman with a beauty that could destroy a city. Not in the literal sense, obviously.


    Mu Naya stood silently, blinking in a wide range of emotions.


    Shock, bewilderment, fear, and sadness.


    She covered her face and cried again, "Why did this happen to me sote? If I have this much power, I can prevent those who protected me from dying..."


    "Aah!"


    "Lady Su, console her. Medical Saint and I will wait outside." Yu Long said while grabbing Yun Gu by his cor.


    "W-Wait!" Yun Gu was ''forcibly'' dragged by Yu Long out.


    "What was that?" Asked the Medical Saint as soon as they walked out of the shed.


    Yu Long kept a poker face, "It''s nothing. All that matters is that I''ve cured your patient, which fulfilled my part of the deal."


    "You need to fulfill yours now."


    The corner of Yun Gu''s mouth twitched because Yu Long wouldn''t answer his curiosity. Even though Yun Gu would check Mu Naya''s situationter, he doubted he could find the reason behind her sudden transformation.


    It was magical and didn''t look or feel rted to anything recorded inside the Heavenly Medicine Manual(Miracle of Life).


    ''He hides something from me.'' Yun Guughed wryly.


    He sighed and picked a green-colored sphere from his medicine bag. It was well-concealed, so a ''normal'' profound probing won''t find it.


    "Here." He handed the Sky Poison Pearl to Yu Long.


    Yu Long grabbed the Sky Poison Pearl with his left hand and felt the connection with it.


    A blinding green light appeared on his palm as the two Sky Poison Pearls merged into one again, creating the perfect heavenly profound treasure.


    Jasmine and Ni Yeyue felt a jolt as the dimension they currently lived in expanded rapidly. The space stretched so much that Jasmine couldn''t see the end of it.


    "So this is Sky Poison Pearl''s dimension at its peak..." Jasmine mumbled in awe. "Amazing indeed."


    "Unfortunately, the Sky Poison Pearl''s artifact spirit has perished."


    Heavenly Profound Treasures are famous in the Primal Chaos. Their appearance could cause a sensation.


    Jasmine knew one of the Heavenly Profound Treasures, the Eternal Heaven Pearl, was known publicly in the Realm of Gods. It has a living artifact spirit, which could control the time-space inside the Eternal Heaven Pearl.


    There is an event where geniuses of the upper realmpeted against each other for the spots in the Eternal Heaven Pearl because it possessed unrivaled temporal power. One year outside is a thousand years inside the pearl''s time-space!


    Of course, this is not infinite. The downside of this ability is the massive consumption of energy.


    Butpared to the Sky Poison Pearl, Jasmine doesn''t think Eternal Heaven Pearl won by a lot.


    "The artifact spirit might die, but..."


    "Hehehe."


    "It won''t take long for the Sky Poison Pearl to recover its toxicity. When the timees, even a more powerful poison than the Absolute God-ying Poison will be born..." Jasmine couldn''t wait to see the golden-haired bitch''s face paled in fear.


    Ni Yeyue didn''t feel much change. She only felt the Sky Poison Pearl''s dimension be more familiar but didn''t think much of it.


    After that, Ni Yeyue went to sleep and left Jasmine alone in her sweet imagination.


    Back to Yu Long, he explored Sky Poison Pearl''s abilities with his mind.


    Infinite space storage has be much more solid.


    As for the poison''s generation, it was slowly recovering.


    Thanks to recovering Sky Poison Pearl to itsplete form, Yu Long''s Innate Karma also be stronger. Well, by a small margin, that is.


    ''It''s better than nothing.'' Yu Long thought to himself.


    He stared at the sky, "It''s going to be dark soon."


    "I will do you a favor and clean the area. The refugee camp shouldn''t have a problem with profound beasts anymore."


    "I... I will thank you on the behalf of the refugees." Yun Gu couldn''t help but smile at Yu Long''s kindness. To think an indifferent young man like him has this kind of side is excellent.


    Yu Long waved his hand and ordered Muzan to do some ughters. It''s a proper time to harvest the essence of Azure Cloud Continent''s profound beasts.


    Desperado. Yu Long must get the end of it.


    [Kaiju Maker] could evolve even further.


    After a while, Su Meiling invited Yu Long inside.


    "Sorry, Medical Saint. Mu Naya said she wanted a private time with Yu Long." Su Meiling rejected Yun Gu when he wanted to go inside as well.


    ''Why is the treatment so different? Is it because I''m an old man?'' Yun Gu was speechless.


    Su Meiling walked and guarded the door gingerly, "Don''t be like that, Medical Saint. Mu Naya only wanted to say a few things to Yu Long. He saved her life, after all."


    ''And I treated her for months.'' Yun Gu sighed and ground some herbs instead.


    Inside, Yu Long found Mu Naya on the edge of the bed. She also wore a blue dress, which was supposed to be Su Meiling''s, as they appeared looser. It added a certain charm to her.


    "T-Thank you." Mu Naya said while lowering her head.


    "Thank you for curing my Devil''s Roots Curse."


    Yu Long grabbed a poorly made wooden chair and sat, "It''s nothing. The Medical Saint made a deal with me."


    "I see..." Mu Naya''s eyes lit up in realization.


    "T-Then, what should I do?"


    "Revenge." Yu Long answered casually.


    "You watched your family die, no? Then, go and kill those profound beasts back."


    "But my strength... I''m only in the 3rd Stage of Spirit Profound Realm."


    Yes, Desperado''s Awakening won''t significantly increase one''s strength. It depends from person to person.


    In Mu Naya''s case, she awakened a ''special'' physique that made her cultivation speed skyrocket and naturally synchronize with the surrounding profound strength.


    She shouldn''t have a problem cultivating high-tier profound arts.


    Yu Long shook his head and said, "You can always train to be stronger. Don''t give up before you even start."


    "Unless you wanted to waste my efforts a few minutes ago."


    Yu Long doesn''t want the first Desperado, who underwent aplete awakening, to waste her talent. Not to mention, Mu Naya''s worth for his research is plenty.


    Mu Naya lowered her head.


    "Hey, raise your head and look me in the eyes." Yu Long''s cold voice echoed in the room.


    Mu Naya instinctively raised her head and gazed at Yu Long''s rich golden eyes. She was stunned because she hadn''t noticed such a beautiful pair of eyes before. It is probably because of her trauma and anxiety.


    "Say it."


    "Tell me what you desire..."


    "I want to be stronger!" Mu Naya shouted.


    Yu Long smiled, "Bing stronger it is. I will leave behind some profound arts, you decide which ones you want to cultivate yourself, and a spatial ring filled with resources."


    "Within a month, I want you to reach Sky Profound Realm and visit Grandwake Mountain. Go to the Thousand Weapons Association, and a woman named Ye Zhi will train you further."


    "Goodbye, I will see you in a month." Yu Long stood up and walked away.


    Four books appeared on Mu Naya''sp, and a spatial ring appeared on her hand magically.


    Gulp!


    Mu Naya swallowed her saliva because she felt like she was making a deal with the devil. Even then, she still bowed to the chair Yu Long sat on earlier in gratitude.


    "Let''s go, we don''t have much time left." Yu Long said to Su Meiling when he walked out of the shed.


    Su Meiling nodded, and they flew away without saying a word to Yun Gu.


    Yun Gu stroked his beard, "Aih, how heartless..."


    ...


    At the same time, a headless knight traversed over the dimension with his death steed and quickly approached the Blue Pole Star. Behind him is an army of headless creatures.


    "Fran." A hoarse voice echoed.


    "I will find you."


    "You can run, but you can''t hide..."

    --- Chapter 160 ---


    After dealing with Yun Gu''s dilemma, Yu Long and Su Meiling returned to the Thousand Weapons Association. It was quite a weird part of their brief adventure, but the harvest was enormous.


    Li Suo''s Legacy.


    Completing Sky Poison Pearl.


    And finally, the discovery of Desperado Awakening.


    The matter of Desperado awakened Yu Long''s core memory, a new height he couldn''t achieve in his previous life. However, he just obtained a new path now.


    As theynded at the front gate, they saw a sulking Su Ling''er.Su Ling''er crossed her little arm and pouted, "Big Brother, how could you not bring Ling''er along to y!"


    "Well, you were not here when I returned. You followed Cang Yue and others to the city, no?" Yu Long smiled at Su Ling''er.


    Su Ling''er froze awkwardly, "T-That wasn''t my idea!"


    "Aww, you''re making Big Sister sad, Ling''er." Cang Yue suddenly appeared, which put Su Ling''er in an awkward position.


    "I-I..." Su Ling''er looked back and forth between Yu Long and Cang Yue, looking very troubled.


    She chose Yu Long and said, "Big Brother, sorry."


    Cang Yue''s eyebrows twitched because she had been pampering Su Ling''er, but the little girl still chose her prince instead.


    "Haha, you can''t win against our husband, Xueruo."


    "His charm is just too powerful."


    Xia Qingyue and Chu Yueli giggled behind Cang Yue''s back, making the Blue Wind Empire''s princess grumble even more.


    Yu Long patted Su Ling''er and said, "Okay, I''vepleted my mission."


    "It''s time to return to the Profound Sky Continent."


    "What!!" Su Ling''er was ically'' struck by imaginary lightning.


    She looks like she has lost a part of her soul.


    "Big Brother wants to abandon Ling''er?" She asked with this sad puppy look. She even got the eyes right.


    Yu Long felt terrible but shook his head a secondter. "Who said I''m going to abandon you? You''re not a lost puppy."


    "R-Really?"


    "Yeah, you can visit the Profound Sky Continent with us."


    "Yipee~!"


    "Big Brother is the best." She happily hugged Yu Long.


    Yu Long nced at Su Meiling and found a warm expression stered over her face upon seeing how happy Su Ling''er was. It seems Su Meiling won''t be against the idea of Su Meiiling visiting the Profound Sky Continent.


    She truly wanted her daughter to be happy.


    Yu Long admired Su Meiling for that and left her with Su Ling''er. He has to deal with Shadow Realm''s scheduled growth n in the Azure Cloud Continent.


    After discussing with his wives, they decided to promote the Thousand Weapons Association and made it the subsidiary faction on this continent, like the Lost Heaven Sect.


    Ye Zhi will be the sect leader.


    Yu Long gave a detailed instruction about the possible appearance of Desperado''s talents so Ye Zhi would ept them into the faction.


    Yu Long wished to see Mu Naya''s explosive growth for being the first full-awakened Desperado in this world, but Duhan and his headless army would reach Blue Pole Star soon.


    His [Kaiju Maker] kept buzzing about Duhan''s presence. The headless Death Knight has be more powerful, which makes the Fairy Queen''s warning about his strength inurate.


    Of course, Yu Long didn''t see Duhan as a threat.


    Duhan might be a Kaiju, but he has this code of the knight. He was furious because the Fairy Queen dared to steal his treasure.


    But Yu Long cannot be too rxed, so he prepared a few surprises.


    Yu Long closed a scroll and tossed it to a small nearby. He threw his head back and sighed.


    "Done?" Xia Qingyue asked while leaning on the wall.


    "Yeah. I still have to connect both continents, though." Yu Long slowly stretched his body.


    Xia Qingyue raised her brows, "Can''t you put Heaven Basin Secret Realm as the center? It should make things easier."


    Yu Long nodded in her vision, "Heaven Basin Secret Realm will be a ry point between two-! No, three continents soon."


    "We need a new name for the Heaven Basin Secret Realm."


    "Give me a spark or something."


    Xia Qingyue pondered and answered, "Four Seasons Realm? It has a quick season rotation, so why don''t we use that to our advantage?"


    Yu Long chuckled andmented, "Good idea, but why would we need season change one after another when we could have four simultaneously?"


    "I will split the secret realm into five areas, and the center of it will be the ry points."


    "All power on you, Husband." Xia Qingyue shrugged.


    Yu Long smiled and pulled Xia Qingyue into him, "Why don''t we have a little fun while waiting for our ride..."


    Xia Qingyue''s body jolted and heated when she heard Yu Long''s sweet invitation. She couldn''t resist.


    "Not fair. I''m going to join as well!" Cang Yue barged in.


    Yu Long had no say about Cang Yue''s sudden arrival, and the sunset slowly marked the beginning of the night. After giving his wives a satisfying experience, he finally excused himself.


    "Eh, you don''t want to shower with us?" Cang Yue tilted her head in confusion. Although she felt sore, she didn''t mind having more.


    ''Is my physical prowess that weak?'' Xia Qingyue thought while lying beside Cang Yue. Her body is sweaty and aching from all the action.


    Yu Long kissed them and said, "Take a shower. Zilong will pick us up in an hour."


    "I''m off to give Su Meiling another part of the deal."


    "Oh, you''re going to give the Milf more attention?" Cang Yue said with a foxy look.


    Yu Long flicked Cang Yue''s forehead, "The things I want to give are profound arts."


    "But you didn''t deny Xueruo''s words, Husband." Xia Qingyue smirked at him. "Don''t worry, we don''t mind you having more wives."


    "Noment." Yu Long turned around and hurriedly walked away.


    Xia Qingyue and Cang Yue nced at each other beforeughing to their heart content. They have known Yu Long for years. They would be blind if they couldn''t see his extra care for Su Meiling.


    It''s all because of Su Ling''er. Su Meiling''s show of fondness for her dear daughter is praiseworthy. She would do anything to put her daughter in a safe environment and fulfill herte husband''s dream.


    ...


    While Cang Yue and Xia Qingyue''s words echo in his mind, Yu Long stormed to Su Meiling''s room.


    Yu Long knocked on Su Meiling''s guest room and called her, "Meiling, are you there?"


    "Y-Yes! Wait a minute." Su Meiling''s flustered voicees from the other side of the room.


    Yu Long could hear her panicked movement, and the door opened a minuteter.


    Su Meiling sheepishly stood on the floor, basking in a misty glow. Her auburn is wet, probably because she just had a shower.


    However, what shocked Yu Long was the fact she wore this skimpy purple sleeping robe, which wrapped and enhanced her curves just right.


    ''She''s business partner, Yu Long.'' Yu Long kept his desire in check.


    ''She''s a business partner, don''t touch her...''


    ''But she gives herself to me already?''


    "Yu Long?" Su Meiling''s words were like honey.


    ''Oh, you''re going to give the Milf more attention?'' Cang Yue''s voice appeared out of nowhere.


    ''But you didn''t deny Xueruo''s words, husband.'' Xia Qingyue followed shortly after.


    Yu Long''s eyes became hazy as he sighed and walked inside, closing the door quickly.


    Su Meiling was surprised by his sudden action, feeling her heart tremble in frustrated hunger. ''I-Is he going to take me right here, right now?'' She audibly swallowed her saliva.


    They didn''t say anything for a while, but their eyes stared at each other as if conveying their feelings.


    Su Meiling closed her eyes and felt Yu Long take her lips. She gasped, bursting with pent-up sexual frustration.


    The mood gradually turned toasty. Their bodies'' heats rose passionately.


    When was thest time she touched a man?


    Nine years ago, her husband died.


    Tonight, she would try to forget her sadness, even temporarily.


    She had known Yu Long briefly, but everything about this monster-like young man screamedfort in her heart.


    "Please, take me." She whispered while hugging him.


    "Give mefort..."


    "Yes, leave it to me." Yu Long stroked her cheeks gently.


    Two bodies mend into one in a moonlight-illuminated room. A woman who longed for a man''s touch had her bodily desire sparked again.


    And a young man finally has a taste of an adult woman.


    It was very short but felt like an eternity for both of them.


    Yu Long leaned on the bed frame with Su Meiling in his arms. He picked her hair and smelled it, "I will take responsibility."


    "Are you?" Su Meiling didn''t want to lose this new warmth. "I''m just a pitiful widow."


    "And you''re a young man with infinite potential..."


    "Don''t say that." Yu Long cupped Su Meiling''s face, kissing her gently.


    "You''re a strong woman."


    Su Meiling felt her heart flutter with a familiar sensation. "Then... Please take care of me and Ling''er."


    "Yes." Yu Long rubbed her hand reassuringly. "I will take care of you both."


    "Aih, I don''t want to leave, but a great danger is approaching the Blue Pole Star."


    "Next time, I will introduce you to my family."


    "Mm, be safe." Su Meiling kissed Yu Long this time.


    "I will be back..." His voice trailed off.


    Su Meiling closed her eyes and felt the warmness disappear. Her mouth trembled slightly, but she smacked her cheeks in retaliation.


    "I will be waiting for you..." She covered herself in a nket and sniffed the lingering scent of the man she revered.


    In the corner of Su Meiling''s eyes, there is a wide table. There are some books and spatial rings on it.


    ...


    Outside, a massive dragon appeared with a small typhoon.


    Yu Long looked back at the Thousand Weapons Association and smiled a little. He nced at the sleeping little girl, who didn''t realize the dragon in the sky, "Ling''er, sleepy?"


    "Mm... But Big Brother is here. So Ling''er will stay awake~!" Su Ling''er holds Yu Long''s hand. Unknown to Su Ling''er, Yu Long has be her father.


    Yu Long carried Su Ling''er and said, "Good girl. We will ride a dragon to my home."


    Thankfully, she has said goodbye to her mother earlier.


    Meanwhile, Yu Long''s wives andpanions stared at his back in affirmation.


    ''Yup, he definitely fucked the Milf.'' They thought simrly.


    ''Tsk, what a motherfucker.'' Jasmine grumbled in the Sky Poison Pearl''s dimension. Yes, she cursed Yu Long with passion, literally.


    After that, Zilong carried them to the Profound Sky Continent.

    --- Chapter 161 ---


    As Zilong used his pure speed to travel from the Azure Cloud Continent to the Profound Sky Continent, Yu Long viewed the night sky silently.


    Yu Long activated [Kaiju Maker] constantly and watched the surrounding domain. His golden eyes kept shing with a dim light every once and then.


    Su Ling''er closed her eyes andy on Yu Long''sp, enjoying the night''s breeze. Thankfully, Zilong has erected a barrier around his body so Su Ling''er can sitfortably.


    All of a sudden, Zilong started a conversation.


    ''Old Yu, about Li Suo''s Legacy. Are you sure it was the real Miracle of Life?''


    Yu Long stared at the sky still and answered, ''Did you doubt me?''''No, I didn''t doubt you. It''s just that Li Suo''s legacy is quite a sensitive matter for me.'' Zilong bitterlyughed.


    ''Sensitive?'' Yu Long frowned slightly.


    Zilong entered a moody state as he exined, ''Well, there is no point in hiding this. At some point in life, Li Suo took my daughter as her only disciple, making her the true inheritor of Divine Light Art.''


    ''However, my daughter was ''instantly'' dragged into a great conflict because of that. After all, the Divine Light Art is the archnemesis and great fear of the Devil Race.''


    ''It terrorizes nearly all Devils, except for some exceptional Devils and Devil Emperors themselves.'' Zilong sighed helplessly.


    ''So, I assume you want to use the Miracle of Life in my hand to find a clue about your daughter''s whereabouts?'' Yu Long immediately caught the gist of Zilong''s question earlier.


    Zilong waved his tail left and right, ''It would be great if I could even get a trace of Heaven Punishing Ancestral Sword, where she got sealed before the cmity started.''


    Yu Long didn''t respond and sent the Miracle of Life straight to Zilong''s pocket space. ''Take it.'' He silently gazed at the moon.


    ''I learned it already.''


    ''Damn.'' Zilong couldn''t help but curse.


    He knew Yu Long discovered Li Suo''s legacy by chance, but learning it from noon to now is a godly feat.


    Even his daughter wasn''t this abnormal.


    ''Thanks.'' Even then, Zilong is still grateful for Yu Long''s help.


    ''It''s nothing.'' Yu Long returned while closing his eyes.


    Zilong smiled at Yu Long and flew through thick clouds. With his pure speed alone, they could reach the Profound Sky Continent in a few minutes.


    ...


    Heavenly Sword Vi.


    "Two days almost passed since Young Master left." Hong Guan murmured while leaning against the wooden beam. She nced at the corner and saw Lily with Freya discussing something.


    She shook her head gently and added, "My senses are telling me to prepare for a massive fight."


    "Freya, just how powerful Duhan is?"


    Freya put on a solemn look, "Thest time I met Duhan, he was at the peak of Divine Soul Realm. However, we cannot erase the possibility of him bing stronger."


    "So, if I have to estimate it... Duhan might be at the early stage of the Divine Tribtion Realm."


    "That is the third stage of the Divine Way." Hong Guan slowly rubbed her forehead. She wasn''t afraid to fight Duhan, but the fight might not be as smooth as she believed.


    Hong Guan did a rough calction with her overall strength and mastery over profound arts. She''s not far from reaching level 21 or Merging Realm, where she could overwhelm reality with sheer power.


    Meanwhile, Lily is still as carefree as ever.


    She has profited from Heavenly Sword Vi''s destruction as the reaction from the Four Great Sacred Grounds was within her expectation. The release of Yun Canghai alerted them so much.


    The Four Great Sacred Grounds have been searching for the Demon King for thest two days.


    "We have already ordered the branch all over the Profound Sky Continent into a high alert, but isn''t this Duhan guy going straight to us because Freya is here?" She suddenly pointed out.


    Freya was ashamed, "Sorry for troubling you..."


    Lily waved her hand casually, "Don''t worry much, Freya. You''re one of us now."


    "But we should have fortified the Heavenly Sword Mountain Range more."


    "I''ve done it already." Hong Guan replied calmly.


    "You did? So fast." Lily was puzzled.


    Hong Guan nodded slightly and resumed, "When Young Master entered the Heaven Basin Secret Realm, I wrapped the mountain range in a defensive formation array."


    Even Freya was speechless.


    She knew about formation arrays before meeting Yu Long again, but the difficulty of mastering such a field is akin to swimming against the stream.


    One must learn countless designated nodes, applications, and mixtures of array points. Yet Hong Guan did it without Lily and Freya noticing.


    Hong Guan felt their gazes and didn''t say more about her little trick of putting down Array Formation. Everyone has a secret, and she''s no different.


    "Please let me meet the Lost Heaven Sect''s young leader!" A wail suddenlyes from outside.


    "Is that her?" Hong Guan nced at Lily.


    Lily grumbled, "Yes. The Heavenly Sword Vi''s mistress, Xuanyuan Yufeng."


    "Since Yu Long left, Xuanyuan Yufeng wanted to meet him."


    "I''ve told her many methods to stop her from annoying us, including a little bit of violence, but she still crawled to our doorsteps."


    "She''s desperate for what exactly." Freya''s eyes shone dimly. "I don''t think Master is close to her, no?"


    Lily sighed, "That''s the point, Freya. Young Master wasn''t rted to her in any shape or form."


    "Not necessarily..." Hong Guan suddenly interjected.


    "From the look she gave to Young Master, she probably abore a few wild thoughts."


    "Xuanyuan Yufeng''s rtionship with her husband is bad." Lily was ''slowly'' struck by a realization.


    Thedies stared at each other, pitying Xuanyuan Yufeng.


    Then, throat-choking pressure descended to the Heavenly Sword Mountain Region.


    "Duhan is here." Freya''s expression turned incredibly solemn.


    A massive ck portal appeared above the Heavenly Sword Mountain Range. Hooves stepped out, revealing a ghastly-looking steed with a headless knight adorned with shadowy me armor.


    Weirdly, the knight has no head and blue me scorched from the base of its neck.


    "FRAN, COME HERE AND FACE ME!" A furious yell spread, shocking every soul in the area. Even the surrounding area near the Heavenly Sword Mountain Range was affected by this terrifying shout.


    Lily cursed in awe, "Damn, just how much did you steal from him?"


    "He''s mad, MAD!"


    "Well, I didn''t steal everything..." Freya lowered her head.


    "J-Just 90%."


    "..." Hong Guan.


    "..." Lily.


    Lily''s mouth twitched, "Sister, even I don''t know if I should be impressed or condemn you."


    Hong Guan grabbed a strange-looking baton from her spatial ring and said, "Stop talking."


    "We should face our enemy and de-escte the situation first."


    "Let''s hope Duhan is as civil as Young Master told..."


    After hearing Hong Guan''s words, Lily and Freya nodded. They soared to the sky and faced the Death Knight.


    Duhan stared at three women with judging gaze, though he had no eyes. He focused on Freya and pointed his finger, "You, who are you?"


    "Why did I feel Fran''s Essence Sphere from you?"


    Freya smiled weakly, "Because I was Fran, Duhan."


    "I''ve evolved after fusing with my dear Host, bing a new entity."


    "Impossible!" Duhan growled. "With such a cracked Essence Sphere and injuries, you can''t live any longer... Even if you fused with your pitiful Host, your fate is ''ultimately'' sealed."


    "I shan''t fall to ye trickery again!"


    Freya shrugged, "Heaven decided to bless me."


    "YOU FILTHY THIEF DARE TO USE THE NAME OF HEAVEN?!" Duhan bes even more furious.


    "I will erase you from this world..."


    "Death Knight, Duhan, will serve justice!"


    Ance of concentrated dark energy appeared beside Duhan''s right gauntlet as he threw it to Freya.


    SWOOOSH! BOOM!


    The sheer power used to throw thence created a sonic boom.


    Freya''s eyes widened briefly before returning to their original sizes upon seeing Hong Guan step up.


    CLANK!


    Hong Guan caught thence with her bare, fiery hand. She clenched her hand and crushed the darknce into ashes.


    "Outsider, are you aware of your despicable action?" The death knight''s gaze fell on Hong Guan this time.


    "This is between me and her..."


    Hong Guan maintained a calm look and answered, "I received an order from my Young Master to protect her."


    "Order..." Duhan''s mind shed for a second.


    "A warrior always followed the lord''s order."


    "You''re a noble subordinate."


    He summoned a sword this time and pointed it toward Hong Guan, "State your name, female warrior!"


    "I, Duhan, must know ye noble''s name."


    "Hong Guan." Hong Guan responded aloofly. Her body released an intense heat that made the temperature rise rapidly.

    Chapter 165: Shadow Brides vs Duhan (1)


    I have added this fanfic to my P4treon Page. You can support me and read advanced chapters there. It motivate me to write more chapters for you guys!


    Link: /NineClouds69


    --- Chapter 162 ---


    Hong Guan faced Duhan with a calm look on her face. She appeared to be fearless, assessing the headless Death Knight silently.


    To her surprise, Duhan doesn''t bring just his steed but also numerous headless creatures.


    The difference in number is too massive.


    ''Thankfully, we have Lily on our side.'' Hong Guan thought.


    When ites to fighting with numbers, Lily will never lose.


    "My soldiers, today we shall erase the thief that deceived us!" Meanwhile, Duhan raised his sword and yelled a battle cry.BOOM!


    Headless creatures began pouring out of the portal. They are like a tsunami that engulfed the whole mountain range.


    Freya witnessed this, and her blood turned cold. She waved her hand and controlled every nt in the Heavenly Sword Mountain Range, turning them into an army of nature.


    She gritted her teeth and tried to push Duhan''s army back. She cursed herself for stealing this mad Death Knight''s treasure.


    Lily watched this amusedly andmented, "You shouldn''t have pushed yourself when I''m here, you know?"


    "Even though you say so, Duhan''s army is still strong. The majority of them are mid-stage Divine Origin Realms. That''s one whole realm higher than you."


    "I''m not even talking about his headlessmanders yet. They are peak-state Divine Origin Realm or even early-stage Divine Soul Realm."


    Lily blinked and giggled, "Don''t look down on us. Our cultivation realm might be lower, but that doesn''t mean our strength is."


    "Young Master defeated you while he''s only a peak monarch, no?"


    "But that''s different." Freya hasn''t fully grasped the cultivation path Yu Long developed, so she is ignorant about its ''true'' effect. "Master is the king! He''s the God of Kaiju!"


    Lily shook her head and didn''t even bother to utter more words.


    Action speaks louder than empty words.


    BOOM!


    Lily''s eyes and hair lit up with a yellowish hue. She summoned a three-meter-long de of grass, stroking its middle white line.


    [Grass Dragon Manual - Endless Vitality]


    As if responding to Lily''s call, the surrounding flora detached their leaves, petals, and roots into a massive storm. Weirdly, those flora kept growing new parts of their bodies, thus allowing the storm to umte more mass and force.


    "What the..." Freya was speechless because her control over nts got overtaken by Lily.


    [Grass Dragon Manual - Metamorphosis]


    Lily flicked her de of grass, causing the storm to scatter into three million copies of herself, each with an emotionless face and matching clothes.


    "Attack!" Lilymanded like a conductor.


    Soon, a bizarre sight of Duhan''s army getting pushed back filled Freya''s vision.


    "..." Freya.


    Even Duhan, who hadn''t moved an inch because he was assessing Hong Guan''s power, was shocked.


    "This is..." Duhan has never seen such a sight before in the Primal Chaos. "Cloning, such an annoyance."


    "However, those clones couldn''t possibly be strong."


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    When Lily''s clones hit Duhan''s army, they explode into vicious web-shaped grass. These web-shaped grasses absorb enemies'' energy like parasitic nts.


    Although there was no sun in the night sky, Lily seemingly entered a photosynthesis state as her whole body released intense energy.


    The energy is vibrant green. And for each second this photosynthesis-like state happens, Lily gains a draconic feature such as slitted eyes and faint emerald scales.


    Duhan frowned inwardly. He could feel Lily fed upon his army''s energy.


    He shed his sword without further ado and sent a jet-ck energy st to Lily.


    Hong Guan appeared and covered Lily, rendering the jet-ck energy fade with her dragon''s me.


    "Your opponent is me." Hong Guan said calmly.


    Duhan finally realized he shouldn''t underestimate Hong Guan and Lily, though their cultivation bases are lower than his. Yet their profound energy is not inferior in quality and surprisingly denser than him.


    It''s likeparing distilled water and pure water.


    Their physical strength is also monstrous for someone at the peak of the Sovereign Profound Realm.


    Duhan sighed, "What a mistake."


    "Have I grown too arrogant to look down on my enemy?"


    "I, Duhan, shall punish myself by fighting with my full power!"


    BOOM!


    Thunderclouds over a 42-kilometer radius unnaturally gathered above Duhan and struck him with red intensity.


    "No, this can''t be." Freya trembled. "H-He really entered the Divine Tribtion Realm."


    However, Freya''s despair just gets begun because Duhan is ''actually'' struck by seven more lightning bolts.


    Divine Tribtion Realm. In this realm, only profound energy would experience an increase in growth, and no other change would happen.


    However, the word ''tribtion'' in this realm is the nightmare of countless profound practitioners, meaning that a mortal cultivating to be a god will meet the wrath of heaven.


    In each stage of tribtion, lightning doubles the number of lightning strikes. The first stage of tribtion lightning is one strike of tribtion lightning; the second stage has two strikes; the third stage has four strikes.


    Duhan got struck eight times, which means his realm is the 4th stage of the Divine Tribtion Realm!


    Before Freya could warn Hong Guan and Lily, Duhan suddenly appeared before the money-loving maid.


    ''Fu-!'' Lily couldn''t even curse in her mind before getting hacked by Duhan''s sword.


    BAM!


    Lily crashed onto a mountain, which blew into smithereens.


    "He''s basically light..." Hong Guan watched the whole ordeal in seriousness.


    She nced at the destroyed mountain and asked, "Are you okay?"


    "To hell with okay! I''m fucking dying!" Lily''s painful groan echoed in the ruin.


    "Good, you''re still alive." Hong Guan smiled a little.


    Duhan turned around awkwardly, "She didn''t die? How is that even possible? I shed her into two with my sword."


    "Sometimes things don''t appear as they should be." Hong Guan replied indifferently. "And you''re in my range."


    A half-dome domain surrounded Hong Guan and Duhan as fire erupted like a volcano. The cracked soundse from Duhan''s shadowy armor because it couldn''t handle the weird coldness.


    ROAR!


    A dragon''s roar overwhelmed the atmosphere.


    Duhan looked up and saw a massive pair of dragon''s eyes. Those vicious eyes looked at him like a juicy piece of meat.


    "Come!" Duhan brandished his sword.


    Jaws filled with rows of sharp teeth appeared and wanted to bite Duhan whole.


    BAM!


    Duhan swung his sword skillfully and parried the lower jaw, closing the mouth. He instinctively dodged an attack, which breezed through his shadowy armor.


    But then, a purple me ignited on his armor.


    [Yin Dragon Record - Igniting Cold]


    Hong Guan appeared like a ghost before Duhan and pressed her palm gently to his armor. Like one-in-punch, she transformed her momentum into one point and blew the headless Death Knight away.


    Crack!


    Duhan''s armor gained yet another crack.


    "How could a peak mortal level crack my armor?" He was in pure disbelief.


    At first, it was Lily. But now, Hong Guan pressured him more.


    Hong Guan''s profound strength is like moltingva right now. Her skin flushed with redness because of it.


    On top of that, Hong Guan felt the barrier to entering level 21''s mastery was bing thinner. Yet this same irksome barrier prevented her many times. Yes, this is something she should have achieved a long time ago.


    Duhan summoned a spear this time and stabbed the air, "Destroy all evil, Sky Reaper."


    Hong Guan retreated and squinted her eyes because Duhan''s spear tore her domain open. Simultaneously, the Heavenly Sword Mountain Range cleaved into two parts and left behind a long, deep ravine.


    As expected of a Divine Tribtion Realm Expert, his strength is earth-destroying.


    BOOM!


    Meanwhile, the half-dome domain scattered like a bunch of sparks.


    Duhan huffed and stared at Hong Guan silently, "You''re worthy."


    "To die..."


    A fast and swift thrust was ''instantly'' unleashed, exceeding the speed Duhan had to attack Lily earlier.


    Hong Guan felt a suffocating sensation all over her body. She watched a ck dot approaching her forehead and sucked a cold breath.


    Her eyes became misty, losing their focus.


    ROAR!


    A spark lit up inside Hong Guan. An enormous dragon swam inside her profound veins, absorbing the energy scattered in all entrances.


    If Yu Long is here, he would notice the sign of Desperado''s awakening.


    As for how much Hong Guan could awaken, it depended on her.


    Seeing Hong Guan enter a trance state, Duhan felt a threatening feeling and decided to finish her with his ultimate move.


    "Erase all evils, Sky Splitter." Duhan swept his spear horizontally.


    A bright green me appeared and shielded Hong Guan from the sky-splitting attack. The green me redirects Duhan''s attack to destroy another part of Heavenly Sword Mountain Range.


    "Fuck, you''re really wanted to kill her!" Lily appeared again. This time, she transformed into a humanoid dragon with butterfly-like wings on her back, a barbed leaves-covered tail, and a sun halo above her head.


    She looks like a fairy.


    "Oy, discount firece!" Lily said with a mocking smile. "I won''t let you mess me like that again."


    "Look at your army. They are gone now."


    "Hehehe."


    Duhan looked down and saw his headless army being dragged into the soil by countless vines. Their energy was ''literally'' sucked dry, and it was clear who got all that energy.


    "Yeah! Take that, you headless bitch!" Lily flipped her finger at Duhan.


    Yup, Lily''s a devious fairy.


    "You foul-mouthed witch!" Duhan responded with deep anger.


    BOOM!


    Dark and golden-green energy shed like two colliding waves.

    --- Chapter 163 ---


    Lily''s cultivation soared above the Sovereign Profound Realm, breaking bottlenecks one after another. In terms of cultivation base, she''s still losing to Duhan.


    However, her immense amount of profound energy alone couldpete with Duhan, who was 4th level of the Divine Tribtion Realm.


    As their immense aura shed like colliding waves, Duhan arrived before Lily.


    Lily raised her de of grass and shed the air.


    Creak!


    The screeching soundse from Duhan''s spear as Lily''s weapon sessfully parried it.[Yang Dragon Bulwark - Radiance]


    A bright light suddenly appeared, covering the de of grass with a golden sheen.


    "Not good!" Duhan was astonished.


    "Toote!" Lily ignited her [Yang Dragon''s Bloodline] and called for a holy me. A golden me burst forth, engulfing Duhan''s whole body.


    Duhan felt the intense heat and screamed in agony because the Yang or Light Attribute was his weakness. He is, after all, a death knight.


    Lily calcted the distance between her and Duhan, "About six meters..."


    "Let''s start."


    [Yang Dragon Bulwark - Dragon''s Blight]


    Lily stepped forward with illusory steps as her figure split into countless copies. However, unlike the previous technique, these clones seemingly possessed frightening strength.


    Duhan''s body twitched from the sheer pressure because the clones summoned these golden halos that pointed at him. Each halo contained an intense blitz of holy me.


    "Curse you-!" Duhan knew he couldn''t dodge. Even if he used Spatial Shift, it would be toote.


    DING! BOOOOOOOM!!


    Intense light beams concentrated into one spot, creating a golden sphere in the dark sky. For a moment, the Heavenly Sword Mountain Range experienced daylight again.


    As Lily''s attack died down, Duhan''s damaged appearance was ''slowly'' revealed. His shadowy armor has burnt off by the light attribute, exposing a gray-colored skin tone and a hollow chest.


    Surprisingly, Duhan was somehow lean behind all those armor pieces.


    Duhan grumbled at the piece of his armor that turned into dust and swept by the night''s breeze. He is furious now.


    "You tarnished bitch..." Duhan gazed at Lily coldly. His way of speaking also became more colorful.


    "Woah, you kiss your mother with that mouth?" Lily sneered in response.


    "I will fucking kill you!"


    Duhan sped up to Lily''s position and created all kinds of weapons by conjuring darkness. He also wielded a morning star in his right hand and ymore on the other.


    Lily reacted quickly, distancing herself from Duhan.


    However, it''s proven useless because Duhan used Spatial Shift to chase after her.


    ''Well, I didn''t n to run in the first ce.'' Lilybined [Yang Dragon''s Bloodline] and [Grass Dragon''s Bloodline], synthesizing both blood flows into one path.


    [Grass Dragon Record x Yang Dragon Bulwark: Woodlight Dragon''s Stigma]


    Sunlight fed upon the grass.


    And grass burned into lesser light.


    Two concepts happened one after another in the span of milliseconds, causing the technique Lily used to alternate between green and golden light. When there is no dy between two operations, a new force is ''naturally'' created.


    A deep green with golden gleam energy revolution started inside Lily''s body. It was weak but grew stronger each time Lily breathed.


    Lily''s body blurred, and her hand vibrated beyond one''s vision, generating this spatial disturbance.


    It''s simr to Xia Qingyue''s [Ocean Quake Symbols]. However, Lily''s attack didn''t destroy the space. It swallowed the whole thing.


    [Woodlight Dragon Stigma - Endless Growth: Charred]


    Lily knew her limit as she pressed her palm against the air, feeling the flimsy spatial fabric burnt upon her touch.


    Duhan responded more fiercely, sting darkness energy with all his weapons. "Headless Knight''s Code: Flowing Cannon!" He roared at Lily.


    Swoosh!


    At first, Lily''s momentum pushed Duhan''s attack back.


    However, Duhan wasn''t holding back a bit now. He''s still a bonafide 4th Level of Divine Tribtion Realm Powerhouse!


    On top of that, don''t forget that he was a Kaiju. His physiology is different from that of humans.


    "Remember, humans. What you faced is the power of Kaiju!" Duhan''s mocking voice echoed.


    What happened next was an eruption of energy beyond the 4th level of the Divine Tribtion Realm.


    There is no fancy shockwave or explosion as half of the Heavenly Sword Mountain Range and jungle terrain over 6,900 miles evaporates into nothingness.


    Countless cracks and holes appeared in the sky, revealing the depth of the void. The naturalw of Blue Pole Star tried to fix the spatial fabric, but the damage done was too much!


    Cough! Cough!


    Lily spewed a mouthful of blood.


    In the end, she hasn''t reached level 21 perfectly, and her current strength is also temporary from absorbing Duhan''s Army and surrounding nature.


    Yet Duhan couldn''tnd more damage after thatst sneak attack. She meant it when saying the headless Death Knight wouldn''t catch her off guard again.


    Duhan umted the same momentum as before and said, "Human, tell me your name before I end your life..."


    "Hehe, I don''t wanna." Lily wiped blood from her face.


    "So be it, your funeral." The Death Knight swung his arm and caused yet another dark storm.


    Lily''s expression paled as she screamed in hysteria, "God damn it! Are you done, Hong Guan?! I''m fucking dying here!"


    Duhan''s attack was about to reach Lily''s face when a slender but scorching scale-covered arm grabbed the dark storm.


    "Huh?" The Death Knight couldn''tprehend the sight before him.


    It was none other than the red-haired woman who caught him off guard earlier with her domain ability.


    However, her appearance has drastically changed.


    Hong Guan is standing over 190 cm with fine green-purple dragon scales all over her body and bat-like wings on the back. Her long red hair has be longer and gained a dark tint. Her body looks no different than a humanoid dragon.


    However, the most noticeable change is her face.


    Half of Hong Guan''s face was ''thinly'' covered by this bone-scales mask that clung to her skin. On the mask''s eye socket, an intense purple me burned brightly. The other eye bleeds out, creating a tear-like crack on her fair skin.


    "H-Hong Guan?" Lily was a bit afraid.


    "Leave." Hong Guan nced at Lily briefly before returning her gaze to the headless Death Knight.


    "Are you sure?" Even though Lily''s strength enhancement has gone, she can offset Duhan''s attack a few more times.


    Hong Guan didn''t reply and released a unique draconic pressure that blew the surrounding crack and tears in spatial fabric to expand even more.


    "Okay, okay, chill." Lily stomped the air and left with the area, returning to Freya''s side. The new Fairy Queen looked at Lily like she was an alien while she was a Hybrid Kaiju herself.


    Freya worriedly stared at Hong Guan and asked, "Is it okay to leave her alone? Duhan is strong, extremely strongpared to what I know."


    "She''s going to be fine." Lily crossed her arms and pouted.


    "I''ve never seen her so mad before."


    "Thest time Hong Guan was in such a state was when we wiped a sect to avenge her brother." After saying this, Lily shivered because the sight of the fiery Hong Guan surrounded by burned mountains and buildings was unforgettable.


    Hong Guan crushed Duhan''s attack and moved.


    Duhan stepped back instinctively because he felt a dangerous presence from Hong Guan.


    "Headless Knight''s Code: Abyssal Sword." Duhan opened another portal, allowing a massive sword to poke out from it.


    Watching the massive sword descend from the portal, Hong Guan stretched her hand and balled it into a fist.


    If Duhan had a head, the following event would have made his jaws drop.


    A purple mebusted and surrounded the portal. It condensed rapidly to Hong Guan''s clenching her fist, breaking the portal apart.


    "Y-You... What are you?" Duhan was speechless and terrified.


    "Shadow... Bride." Hong Guan''s cultivation soared under the very gaze of Duhan. From the peak of the Sovereign Profound Realm to the early stage of Divine Soul Realm.


    She jumped a whole ''major'' realm into the second stage of Seven Divine Ways.


    [Abyssal Storm Dragon''s Tactic - First Layer: Dragon''s Rise]


    The might of Ancient Dragon overwhelmed the half-destroyed Heavenly Sword Mountain Range and the spatial fabric, sealing Duhan''s path from running away.


    ''Impossible!'' Duhan grimaced inside.

    Chapter 167: Shadow Brides Vs Duhan (Final)

    Link: /NineClouds69


    --- Chapter 164 ---


    Hong Guan stared at Duhan emotionlessly.


    She clenched her hand, and green smoke came from the pressure of her grip, causing a vicious purple-green me to burn all over her forearm.


    [Abyssal Storm Dragon''s Tactic - 2nd Layer: Abyssal Storm w]


    Duhan watched a massive w appear out of nowhere and pounced at him.


    He grimaced, "You will regret your decision locking me here."


    Duhan created another portal and sent a massive sword tip at the iing w. To headless Death Knight''s surprise, the w phased through his attack andnded on his body.''This...''


    ''How did she be so strong all of a sudden?''


    BAM!


    Duhan was sent flying to a nearby mountain and crashed heavily.


    If Duhan had a head, he would have coughed a mouthful of blood right now.


    "Poison?" He felt something invading his body. Hong Guan''s purple-green me didn''t just burn but also corroded his body.


    Duhan tried to erase this purple-green me with his darkness, but his action was like pouring more fuel into it. The me bes much bigger and more aggressive!


    After all, the mainponent of Hong Guan''s me is [Yin Aspect], which is the concept of darkness itself. Duhan was ''actually'' molded by the darkness of Yu Long''s past self, so he''s frustrated by his current situation.


    It''s like the very one subject you are good at school is ''suddenly'' surpassed by others.


    However, Hong Guan didn''t let Duhan have a chance to breathe.


    [Abyssal Storm Dragon''s Tactic - 3rd Layer: ck sh]


    A momentter, an intense thunderp echoed in the area, followed by a bolt of ck lightning.


    BOOM!


    "Not good-!" Duhan couldn''t even his words before getting pulverized by Hong Guan''s ck lightning.


    The headless Death Knight felt his whole being fried. His Essence Sphere cracked under the pressure of Hong Guan''s attack.


    [Abyssal Storm Dragon''s Tactic - 4th Layer: ck sh Burial!]


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    One lightning struck after another, Hong Guan mercilessly ttened the Heavenly Sword Mountain Range and injured Duhan to the extreme point.


    However, Duhan was like a cockroach.


    He might be dying, but something prevented him from giving up.


    Hong Guan breathed in with an exhausted expression and watched a blue me flicker inside a crater.


    The blue me is none other than Duhan''s Essence Core, which burned brightly. Blood, bones, and flesh appeared and formed a new Duhan.


    Duhan groaned, "ARGH!"


    He has to pay a ''huge'' price when reviving himself.


    He has used 90% of his Essence Sphere''s vitality.


    Losing 90% of Essence Sphere''s vitality is a fate worse than death for a Kaiju because they couldn''t recover it unless the [Kaiju Maker] provided the said vitality to them.


    Only the best out of the best Kaiju possessed a skill that can revitalize their own lost vitality. Unfortunately, Duhan wasn''t part of them.


    However, by expending 90% of his vitality, Duhan''s strength increased rapidly. Three or four times stronger than before. It also fueled his anger to eliminate Hong Guan at all costs.


    "You must die today..." A new, more menacing armor appeared on top of Duhan''s body.


    He shed before Hong Guan and attacked her before she could react.


    BAM!


    Hong Guan coughed a mouthful of blood and felt a heavy blow on her chest.


    If she hadn''t experienced her Desperado''s Awakening, which bonded [Yin Dragon''s Bloodline] and [Gale Dragon''s Bloodline] to her whole being, her body would be a donut upon receiving that attack.


    Duhan attacked Hong Guan like no tomorrow, pushing her to the edge of the Profound Sky Continent. Their fierce sh has created a deep and long ravine from the Heavenly Sword Mountain Range to the eastern seashore.


    Gods know how many lives they had taken.


    The raging Duhan doesn''t care about human life.


    His Knight Code has gotten tarnished multiple times, so he wants nothing more than to kill Hong Guan.


    "Weak!"


    "Weak!"


    "Weak!"


    "I, Duhan, cursed myself for getting looked down on by a woman like you!"


    "That''s why I will kill you, right here, right now, to fix my image!"


    Duhan opened fifty dark portals, each bringing out a massive sword or spear. He kicked Hong Guan''s stomach and sent her flying to the ocean, allowing the dark weapons to chase after her.


    Hong Guannded on the sea with her foot and had never felt such a feeling of death before. Her green eyes bleed even more because the sight of fifty gigantic swords and spears is overwhelming.


    She wiped blood from her lips and mumbled, "Not enough firepower."


    "My me and lightning aren''t destructive enough..."


    "No, my me and lightning are still two different forces."


    "The only way to increase my firepower is bybining my Dragon''s Bloodlines into one." Hong Guan''s sharp mind calcted every move she could make now.


    When the gigantic swords and spears were a few meters away from her, Hong Guan made her decision.


    "Guan''er, when you''re bing Profound Practitioner one day. Please wield a spear because you''re a genius at it." A familiar and distant voice echoed in Hong Guan''s subconscious.


    "If so, maybe I can introduce you to Young Master Yu Longter, hahaha~!"


    "Sorry, Older Brother..." Hong Guan gritted her teeth. "I can''t wield a spear like you said."


    Anything rted to the spear made Hong Guan''s mind spin into rage. It is because the faction that killed her brother is none other than the Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Fortress.


    Although years have passed, Hong Guan stayed away from speary and insisted on using her hand or leg. Even her Profound Arts revolved around those limbs.


    But today is different.


    Hong Guan felt she was free.


    [Abyssal Storm Dragon''s Tactic - Sixth Layer: Monochrome Universe]


    The world came to a stop, bing ck and white. Hong Guan blinked and saw every water droplet near her. She only had one chance to make this work and possibly kill Duhan.


    With that in mind, Hong Guan grasped two balls of essence inside her body and forced them to merge into one. One is murky dark, and the other is stormy blue.


    When the two balls merge, a beautiful dark blue orb ''naturally''es into existence.


    Hong Guan felt her entire body boiling, changing her to a fundamental level.


    [Abyssal Storm Dragon''s Tactic - Seventh Layer: Tainted Drop]


    A new force crawled from Hong Guan''s skin.


    It was this weird dark-colored liquid with a hint of neon purple, squirming like a living being.


    Hong Guan manipted the liquid andmanded it to spread infinitely to swallow Duhan''s attack. "Devour..." She whispered with an exhausted look.


    SWOOOOSH!


    A giant ck appeared from the small blob, trapping everything before Hong Guan''s sight.


    "Form." Hong Guan clenched her hand and turned the liquid into a four-meter-long spear with a barbed de.


    Her energy level and physical prowess are at their lowest because of forcible fusion, so Hong Guan didn''t have much choice but to execute the most basic profound art.


    [Art of Spear - Power Throw]


    Hong Guan''s muscle fibers ripped apart as she clenched the liquid spear and threw it with all her might.


    SWOOSH!


    Like a bolt of lightning, the dark liquid spear traveled toward Duhan.


    Duhan wanted to dodge, but the dark liquid altered the darkness element in the area and literally bent space & time.


    BAM!


    The spear perfectly struck Duhan''s armor, piercing it with one swift movement.


    A gaping, bloody hole appeared on Duhan''s chest.


    Unfortunately, Hong Guan missed Duhan''s core.


    As soon as the bloody hole reformed and left a spotless skin, Duhan moved and choked Hong Guan''s neck.


    "Anyst words?" Duhan asked indifferently.


    Hong Guan smiled, "I have no regrets."


    "But you will regret your decision in 0.3 seconds."


    Duhan snorted coldly, "Such a mouthful of trickery won''t work on me, woman!"


    "Is that so?" A voice appeared out of nowhere.


    Duhan couldn''t recognize this voice, so he turned around and saw a handsome youth in a jet-ck winter coat with wild ck hair and gleaming golden eyes.


    His appearance might be unfamiliar, but those gleaming golden eyes and this sheer pressure from this youth made Duhan''s knees wobble like jelly.


    "K-K-Kaiju Maker..." Duhan uttered in pure fear.

    --- Chapter 165 ---


    "K-K-Kaiju Maker..."


    Duhan couldn''t believe his sense at the moment.


    He was sure the almighty had perished from the cosmic storm, but Yu Long''s existence denied that fact.


    Yu Long tilted his head, "What''s the matter, Duhan? You look like someone who has seen a ghost or something?"


    "Or you really thought I died from that pesky cosmic storm. Howughable, if you could survive, what makes you think I can''t?"


    Duhan trembled in fear, "T-This is impossible. I must be dreaming...""Aih, still denying reality." Yu Long chuckled while shaking his head. "It seems you''ve lived quite a terrible life in the past sixteen years."


    "Don''t worry, I will handle that for you."


    "For now, take your hand off my woman..."


    As if the world responded to Yu Long''s order, an invisible force shed through the void and mutted Duhan''s hand, which held Hong Guan''s neck.


    Yu Long teleported Hong Guan to his side and caught her, "You shouldn''t have pushed yourself this far, you know?"


    "I..." Hong Guan wanted to respond, but no words came to refute Yu Long''s question.


    "I''m afraid you''re hurting yourself. Still, I''m proud of you." Yu Long kissed Hong Guan''s forehead.


    Hong Guan''s mouth parted in surprise as her green eyes watched over Yu Long''s handsome face. She couldn''t help but question whether he really kissed her or not.


    It was like a dreame true!


    "Hold tight." Yu Long''s calm words drifted to her ears.


    "This won''t take long."


    Hong Guan let out the most beautiful smile Yu Long had ever seen and fainted while embracing him. She has spent an immense amount of energy, so it''s normal for her to faint like this.


    Still, Yu Long didn''t like it.


    Yu Long nced at Duhan and asked, "I thought you have Knight Code, Duhan."


    "I know you are angry that Fran stole your Essence Sphere, but causing such destruction and massacre on Profound Sky Continent..."


    "You have be quite an arrogant knight, I see."


    "N-No, that''s not..." Duhan felt Yu Long''s cold gaze and lowered his body, causing his lower half to sink into the ocean.


    Yu Long indifferently ordered, "Kneel."


    BOOM!


    The ocean around Duhan got pushed back by a gravity force, making the headless Death Knight kneel on the ground. He crashed down, knees first, and his whole body buried on the ocean floor.


    Yu Long looked down from above and asked, "Duhan, do you feel any dissatisfaction toward me?"


    "N-No..." A weak whimperes from the ocean floor.


    "You want to monopolize Essence Spheres because I know very well that you can''t recover yours..."


    "Like Fran, you''re scraping off Pandora''s crumbs."


    Duhan couldn''t answer as he was ''thoroughly'' ttened to the deep ocean floor.


    "Look, I''m not a demon." Yu Long''s emotionless voice drifted by the ocean''s breeze.


    "If you can endure the move I throw at you, I will let you live."


    "If not, you shall perish alongside your Knight Code."


    "Do you concur, Duhan?"


    "I-I concur..."


    "Answer me loudly!"


    "I-I CONCUR!"


    After hearing the reply, Yu Long lifted the magnified gravity and released Duhan from the ocean floor, allowing the headless Death Knight to regain his footing.


    The storm brewed above around the Blue Pole Star, forming this vast vortex. From afar, Zilong and others observed Yu Long silently. They sensed this change and were startled.


    "Don''t tell me he''s going to use that." Zilong instinctively swallowed his saliva nervously. "Thest time he unleashed such an attack, my Trial Ground was razzed to the ground..."


    Xia Qingyue, Cang Yue, and Chu Yueli also have a solemn expression because the attack Yu Long was about to do is the very definition of destruction.


    Xia Qingyue''s [Ocean Quake Symbols] that was able to destroy the world seems like a joke in front of it. At the very least, the damage Xia Qingyue did would recover over time as the fabric space mends itself.


    However, Yu Long''s ultimate attack is different. He erased that very space, or possibly time, as well.


    "Just what kind of attack did Young Master actually prepare?" Chu Yuechan was bbergasted by Zilong''sments.


    Chu Yueli shook her head gently and answered her sister''s question, "We only know some concepts behind it. At the time, Young Master didn''t even have a name for this move."


    "We were too panicked and decided to run away before getting hit..."


    Su Ling''er watched the sky and twinkled her charming eyes in awe as she pointed out, "Sister, sister, look! There are many stars in the sky!"


    Everyone looked up and saw the clouds in the night sky forming a massive ring. Within the ring are several blinking stars.


    ''Those aren''t stars...'' Zilong quickly erected a barrier around them.


    ...


    Back to Yu Long, he leisurely enjoyed the night''s breeze and lifted his right hand.


    "Are you ready?"


    "R-Ready, Sir!"


    "Do you need to count?"


    "No!"


    Yu Long clenched his right hand and caused Jasmine in the Sky Poison Pearl''s dimension to yelp in fright.


    ''What was that?!'' Jasmine felt tremendous force tearing the Blue Pole Star''s veil border.


    Jasmine peeked out and cursed, "How is this even humanly possible?"


    Her divine sense couldn''t sense more than the fact this force was beyond her understanding.


    A massive w gleamed with darkness, and light tore the night sky and descended upon the world. One might think this was just your simple manifestation, but no. It is a literal physical appearance of an unknown world-erasing beast.


    Yu Long''s eyes gleamed with mystic light.


    [Art of True Apex - 1st Layer: King of Monsters'' w]


    Duhan made his pitiful attempt and summoned several portals,unching gigantic weapons at the iing w.


    Nevertheless, it was like a bunch of cottons trying to stop an unstoppable train!


    The space & time bent, reaching breaking point when the w swayed through the atmosphere. Shockwaves st through all corners, creating whirlwinds one after another.


    These phenomena were ''actually'' created from sheer momentum alone.


    The w has yet to reach Duhan.


    Duhan watched this and mocked himself, "I should have kept my anger in check..."


    "If he could bring me to this world, he also can take me away..."


    It is his inevitable end!


    The King of Monsters'' w is the ultimate technique Yu Long created in his seclusion. It''s an irresistible killing technique to defeat his enemy, destroying their soul and sealing their ends.


    BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!


    The w reached the ocean floor andpletely erased it from existence, leaving behind a cracked dimensional hole.


    "As expected, he couldn''t resist a single move..."


    It''s just one move, but the power behind it is not something Duhan can take.


    "Farewell, Duhan." Yu Long said while closing his eyes.


    "I know you''re just angry and justified to attack Fran, but your value is nothingpared to my Hong Guan..."


    "And you dare to injure her..." The tone he used is likeparing a trash to a precious treasure.


    He''s a Kaiju Maker. He wasn''t used to beingpassionate toward humans but more so to his Kaiju.


    But there is always an exception to such a rule.


    So what if he lost a Kaiju of his past life?


    He can make a better and stronger one.


    Yu Long stared at Hong Guan warmly, "Emotion is such aplicated essence."


    He kicked the ground and left the razzed ocean, which wouldn''t return to its original state for a while. Well, his other Kaiju would handle this matter.


    "For now, let''s return home."


    In the stormy yet silent night, Yu Long carried Hong Guan like the bride she was.

    --- Chapter 166 ---


    Yu Long brought Hong Guan to the nearest settlement in the area.


    To Yu Long''s surprise, Shadow Realm''s 13th Branch was nearby and the one with the famous beach resort he nned to visit with hispanions after this whole fiasco was over.


    Since the city is inside a well-protected bay, the aftershock of Yu Long''s attack or sh between Hong Guan and Duhan actually didn''t damage the area much.


    Still, a chunk of Outer Bay got razzed badly.


    As Yu Longnded on the sandy beach, he heard Jasmine''s solemn voice.


    "That was a bit too much, don''t you think?" Jasminemented from the Sky Poison Pearl''s dimension."This isn''t the first youment about my excessive usage of power, Jasmine." Yu Long chuckled earnestly.


    "I''m serious!" Jasmine wanted to punch him so badly.


    Yu Long carried Hong Guan to the resort, "Yes, and so I am."


    "That attack was my way to send Duhan away."


    At the very least, Duhan should witness the current state of his former master and die in peace. That''s a suitable end for the headless knight.


    Zilong and others also arrived at the beach, approaching Yu Long with aplicated look. Lily and Freya followed shortly after, having a disbelief expression more than anything.


    "Big Brother, that trick of yours is so pretty~! Please, teach me!" Su Ling''er ran toward Yu Long with a hopeful expression.


    Yu Long patted Su Ling''er and replied, "Well, let''s wait until you''re a bit older to do such stuff."


    "What about fundamental training instead?"


    "Okay, pinky promise!" Su Ling''er raised her pinky finger.


    "Mm. pinky promise." Yu Long followed after her.


    Who would have thought a person who could release such a world-destroying attack would do a silly thing like a pinky promise with a little girl a few momentster?


    It''s poetic in some way.


    Of course, this is due to Yu Long''s promise to take care of Su Meiling and Su Ling''er.


    Yu Long''s gaze was directed to Lily as he asked, "Are you okay?"


    At first nce, Lily doesn''t look good at the moment. Her maid outfit is tattered and soaked with blood. In truth, Lily''s injuries have recovered from her endless vitality. The bloodline of [Yang Dragon] and [Grass Dragon] is that powerful.


    In terms of pure regeneration speed, only Yu Long topped Lily''s.


    "Even if Duhan was stronger than me, that doesn''t mean he could kill me easily." Lily grinned foolishly and raised her skinny right arm, flexing it. "My surviving skill is unmatched."


    "Good." Yu Long smiled back at her. "Go wash and take a breather in the presidential suite."


    "You can meet me tomorrow morning."


    "As for you, go with Lily." He nced at Freya.


    Freya helplessly sighed and followed Lily into the resort. It seemed she had underestimated her master''s newpanions too much.


    Watching Lily and Freya''s departing figures, Yu Long rubbed his temple andmented, "Everyone must be tired as well."


    "Let''s go inside."


    "Horaay~!" Su Ling''er gingerly holds Yu Long''s hand and drags him into the resort, making the otherdies giggle.


    Xia Qingyue whispered something to Cang Yue''s ears, which made the Blue Wind Empire''s princess ponder. After a while, they nodded and decided not to bother Yu Long tonight.


    Even though Yu Long looks so hot after defeating Duhan, they should give their fellow sisters a chance. And Hong Guan is currently in Yu Long''s arms, so they don''t want to ruin her moment.


    The same goes with Chu Yueli and Chu Yuechan. They understood that Hong Guan was in the lead.


    The only problem is Su Ling''er.


    "Ling''er, you''re going to sleep with us tonight, fufu." Cang Yue said while catching Su Ling''er.


    "EEEH, but Ling''er wants to sleep with Big Brother Yu Long!" Su Ling''er pouted andined immediately.


    "No, no, Yu Long is tired. You can''t bother him tonight." Xia Qingyue added shamelessly. She didn''t forget that they tried to drain Yu Long before departing to the Profound Sky Continent.


    After that, Yu Long even spent time with Su Meiling.


    What a joke. Yu Long is like a damn wild horse and far from tired!


    Su Ling''er put on a worried look, "Okay, then..."


    "Big Brother Yu Long, you must rest well, okay!"


    "Mm." Yu Long patted Su Ling''er again.


    After that, everyone left except for Zilong.


    Zilong didn''t beat around the bush and asked, "What should we do with the cracked space on that ocean?"


    "Patch it." Yu Long answered decisively.


    "You and Uda will do it."


    The corner of Zilong''s mouth twitched, "Oh, wow, you really threw your mess at us."


    "Oh, really? I wonder who just got the Miracle of Life recently." Yu Long shrugged.


    "Fuck, you''re ying dirty." Zilong was joking earlier, but Yu Long put him in the corner. "Fine, I got it."


    "We will patch the hole right away."


    "Uda, stop ying around and follow me." The dragon grumbled at the empty air.


    "Chill, bro. It''s just a hole in space." A voice responded as an invisible figure chased after Zilong.


    Yu Long turned around and confidently walked away as World-Devouring Tyrant Dragon and Space Walker were more than enough to fix the cracked space problem. They are also strong enough to protect the ce from unknown variables.


    ...


    Yu Long picked one of the best suites and ced Hong Guan gently on the bed. He waved his hand, and a cleansing light washed over Hong Guan''s body, cleaning any impurities away.


    He sat on the edge of the bed andmented, "What a stubborn woman you are, Hong Guan."


    "But that''s what makes me like you even more." He lifted Hong Guan''s hand and kissed it.


    White light escaped Yu Long''s hand and slowly entered Hong Guan''s body, increasing her recovery speed. A ck-golden pagoda appeared above Yu Long''s head, which released a dim aura as he kept treating Hong Guan.


    One hourter, Hong Guan gradually opened her eyes.


    Herplexion has be healthier than before. But what shocked the most was the fact her green eyes gained a dragon-like slit.


    Yu Long gazed and weighed, ''It probably had to do with her fusing Yin Dragon and Gale Dragon''s Bloodlines. Those bloodlines are ''essentially'' altered True Dragon''s Bloodline, so fusing them will yield a surprising effect.''


    ''As long as Hong Guan gained enough control over her new bloodline, she should be able to deactivate her transformation.''


    Hong Guan blinked and looked around, assessing her situation.


    "How long have I been sleeping?" She asked.


    "One hour." Yu Long answered honestly.


    "One hour..."


    Hong Guan fell into a deep thought as she suddenly felt Yu Long embracing her. It caught her off guard because Yu Long rarely did something like this.


    "What are you..." She was about to ask him.


    "I''m d, I''m d that you''re alive." Yet Yu Long responded with a reassuring voice. "You''re doing your best, and I''m proud of you for exceeding that barrier."


    "It must be painful."


    "It''s okay, no one else here..."


    After hearing thatst line, Hong Guan finally revealed her vulnerable side and cried in Yu Long''s arms. To many people, Hong Guan is an aloof and cold woman.


    But the truth is.


    ''She''s just a lonelydy whose remaining biological family died tragically.'' Yu Long thought while rubbing Hong Guan''s back.


    Although Hong Guan has wiped the Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Fortress from existence, she still has some trauma that prevents her from reaching her full potential. The ones she couldn''t forget easily. So, she decided to bury these negative feelings.


    After Hong Guan was calm enough, Yu Long rubbed her cheek with deep emotion and asked determinedly, "It''s a littlete, but are you willing to be my wife, Hong Guan?"


    Hong Guan was stunned but eventually smiled in happiness, "Yes."


    "I want to be your wife, Yu Long."


    That night, two bodies mend into one and drowned by burning passion.

    --- Chapter 167 ---


    The next day.


    Yu Long and Hong Guan ate breakfast on the beautifully carved stone balcony outside their room, feeling the gentle ocean breeze wash over them.


    Coconut trees swayed back and forth near them, giving this serene atmosphere.


    Yu Long wore short pants and an unbuttoned Hawaiian shirt, enjoying thefortable environment. Meanwhile, Hong Guan is wearing a white summer dress and a straw hat, which enhances her beauty on several levels.


    Last night was somewhat intense for both of them, and Hong Guan was very sore upon waking up, having difficulty walking straight.


    Thankfully, Hong Guan possessed a powerful Dragon''s lineage, or she would stay in bed longer.Thinking about it, Hong Guan couldn''t help but gaze at Yu Long and lick her lips because that night was unforgettable.


    ''No wonder Xia Qingyue and Cang Yue like to do it every night.'' Hong Guan thought while feeling fidgety below.


    Yu Long opened his eyes andmented in amusement, "It seems your Dragon''s Instinct to mate is still raging on."


    Hong Guan blushed, "Yes, it''s hard to control."


    "Don''t worry, having intense sexual urges is normal since you are half-dragon now." Yu Long chuckled. "Until you fully ept it, I will keep it under control for you."


    Yup, that means more steamy sessions.


    "T-Thanks." Hong Guan swallowed inwardly.


    "You''re my wife." Yu Long winked at her yfully. "I''ll be a bad husband if I can''t help you, no?"


    Hong Guan felt the whole situation was surreal and mumbled, "That''s true..."


    After fusing [Yin Dragon''s Bloodline] and [Gale Dragon''s Bloodline], Hong Guan bore an abnormal bloodline that was still of True Dragon but incredibly demonic at the same time.


    Not to be confused with the Devil Race''s Traits, Demonic Traits originated from Hong Guan''s Desperado Awakening. If Yu Long had to name her new bloodline, it would be [Demonic Saint Dragon''s Bloodline].


    "Big Brother Yu Long~!" A cheerful voicees to their ears.


    "Hmm, a girl?" Hong Guan nced and saw Su Ling''er in a simr-styled summer dress.


    Su Ling''er noticed Hong Guan''s gaze and politely bowed, "Nice to meet you, older sister. I''m Su Ling''er!"


    Yu Long coughed awkwardly, "She''s the daughter of my new partner."


    The meaning of the ''recent partner'' is clear to Hong Guan.


    Hong Guan surprisingly didn''t feel bitter and cast a quiet gaze at Su Ling''er, observing the lovely young girl.


    ''How adorable... I wonder if Yu Long and I can make such adorable children soon.'' That is all Hong Guan could think of right now. Yeah, Dragon''s Instinct to mate is just that strong.


    As Su Ling''er grabbed a seat near Yu Long, otherdies arrived on the balcony.


    "Morning." Xia Qingyue and Cang Yue greeted Yu Long with a smile. Not long after, they cast a ''congrattions'' look at Hong Guan.


    Hong Guan sensed their gazes and nodded calmly, not wanting to reveal her emotion further.


    Yu Long stretched and said, "Okay, for the next three days, we will be doing nothing but rxing."


    "You''re free to roam around the city."


    "Thanks, god." Lily sighed in relief. "I thought you were going to give me more order..."


    "Do you want more orders?"


    "No..."


    "You hear yourself."


    "Pfft-!"


    The othersughed at Yu Long and Lily''s banters, feeling a little more lively than before. At the very least, the mood isn''t so stiff anymore.


    Yu Long has nned to make a tremendous change on the Profound Sky Continent, but he just got news from Zilong about the continental''s damage.


    His first andst attack might not damage the Profound Sky Continent as they were in a vast ocean. Fortunately, Zilong and Uda have dealt with it.


    However, the exchange between Shadow Brides and Duhan actually permanently damaged the Heavenly Sword Mountain Range and stretched to the nearest seashore.


    They lost about 13% of the Profound Sky Continent, most of which is Blue Wind Empire''s territory and neighboring nations. Don''t look down on 13% because that was tens, if not hundred thousands, of miles of territory.


    The whole Profound Sky Continent actually received ssh damage from this fight. Still, Yu Long has ordered a contingency n, so Shadow Realm''s branches activated linked Array Formation to mitigate the aftereffects, such as earthquakes, shockwaves, and storms.


    If not, the Profound Sky Continent will lose more chunks.


    And we haven''t talked about casualties yet.


    After hearing this report, Yu Long decided to avert everyone''s attention andunch a remation n on those destroyednds with the help of his Kaiju. He might even transform thosends into his personal territory, considering the Blue Wind Empire is close to it.


    Well, the first thing is clear. The Heavenly Sword Vi is gone from this world. Some kingdoms were ''unfortunately'' also wiped out that night.


    ''I''ve yet received the reaction of the Four Great Sacred Grounds, but they are most likely wary more than anything.'' Yu Long thought to himself. ''Such a world-shaking fight will always be eye-catching.''


    ''Unless they are dull or spiritually crippled, there is no way they couldn''t sense the intense fight between Shadow Brides and Duhan.''


    Yu Long blew air out of his chest andmented, "Yeah, it''s time to rx."


    With that in mind, Yu Long enjoyed his time in the beach resort with hispanion. Time flies by, and he is watching the sunset with his wives.


    "It went by so fast..." Cang Yueined.


    "Yeah." Xia Qingyue agreed with her.


    Hong Guan stayed quiet and watched the sunset with gleaming eyes.


    Hearing theirints, Yu Long smiled and said, "We can always visit this ceter."


    "It won''t go anywhere."


    "Don''t jinx it!" Jasmine''s voicees out from the Sky Poison Pearl''s dimension. After staying in the Beach Resort for three days, she has fallen in love with this ce.


    Tasty food. Calm environments. Out of all things,fy! If something horrible happened to this ce, Jasmine would hate it.


    Yu Long gazed ahead, "Sometimes enjoying simple things is the way of life."


    After that, Yu Long passionately kissed his wives and made Jasmine blush.


    "Y-You scumbag!" Jasmine shouted in frustration.


    "Hahaha~!" But Yu Long casuallyughed her insult off.


    ...


    Divine Phoenix Empire, Divine Phoenix City.


    "Royal Father, did you call me?" A beautiful girl in a red dress entered the Royal Library. She greeted her father, the current Emperor of the Divine Phoenix Empire.


    The Emperor, Feng Hengkong, smiled and said, "Sit down, Xue''er."


    Feng Xue''er nodded and sat on a mahogany wood chair, staring at her father. Even though she didn''t know why she got called here, Feng Xue''er knew it must be important.


    ''Does this have something to do with the ufortable sensation I felt three days ago?'' Feng Xue''er thought to herself.


    Feng Hengkong coughed, "Xue''er, do you still remember the history of our Divine Phoenix Empire?"


    "Of course." Feng Xue''er answered positively. She has learned everything about her homnd, starting from its origin and history.


    "Good, we were part of the Grand Asura Kingdom''s royal family. At the time, your great-grandfather received the help of the Phoenix Sect and founded the Divine Phoenix Empire with his fellow branch family."


    "Of course, that doesn''t mean the Royal Family perished. After their failed rebellion attempt against our force, a princess from your grandpa''s generation left the empire."


    "All this time, your grandfather always stayed connected to the princess of Grand Asura Kingdom''s Royal Family."


    "Eh?" Feng Xue''er was surprised. "Doesn''t that mean that princess was also our family?"


    "In a way, she''s your royal grandaunt." Feng Hengkong answered helplessly. "She''s quite a brazen person."


    "Her name is Feng Nannan."


    "However, she should be gone with Xu Nannan now. She''s married, after all."


    "I see..." Feng Xue''er digested the information slowly.


    Feng Hengkong smiled, "Actually... Father mentioned this to you because of an agreement between your grandfather and grandaunt."


    "Agreement?"


    "Yes, Agreement."


    "If by any chance, there are younger generations with incredible talents born from both sides, they shall be engaged to each other."


    Feng Xue''er was stunned, "T-This is..."


    "But Xue''er already promised not to marry unless the fated one that Master foresaw appears..."


    "I know." Feng Hengkong also knew about the Phoenix God''s arrangement. "What if I told you the grandson of your grandaunt is ''closely'' connected to Phoenix Sect in some way?"


    "But how?" Feng Xue''er blinked in confusion.


    But then she connected the dots, "Ah, the other half of Master."


    "Is this true?"


    "We must wait." Feng Hengkong shook his head. "Themotion that happened three days ago caused quite chaos in the Profound Sky Continent. Our line ofmunication with the grandaunt got cut off."


    "How unfortunate..." Feng Xue''er mumbled to herself.


    Feng Hengkong reassured Feng Xue''er, "Don''t worry much."


    "Even though Father hasn''t received much information, your Grandaunt has sent her grandson''s name and affiliation."


    "To be honest, Father thought she was joking at first."


    "But no, it''s real..."


    "Your Fiance''s name is Yu Long."


    "And he''s the chief disciple of Lost Heaven Sect!"

    --- Chapter 168 ---


    On the beach, Yu Long and Su Ling''er yed around, sshing water at each other.


    "Kyaa~!"


    "Big Brother Yu Long, you''re making Ling''er wet!" Su Ling''er covered her face and tasted salty seawater.


    "Okay, stop with the ambiguous remark." Cang Yue walked to the water and lifted Su Ling''er.


    "Ambiguous?" Su Ling''er innocently tilted her head. "Ling''er is only ten, hmm. So Ling''er doesn''t understand what this ambiguous thing is. Can it be eaten?"


    "Pfft, hahaha~!" Xia Qingyueughed as she joined in."She got you, Sister."


    Yu Long smiled at this sight and let his body float on the water, allowing him to see the cloudy sky. It''s a nice day, not too sunny, and perfect for an outing.


    ''I was going to visit the Lost Heaven Sect, but one more day shouldn''t be a problem.'' Yu Long thought as seawater sshed on his face.


    Ssh!


    "Hehe, got you~!" Su Ling''er put on a smug look.


    Yu Long slowly stood up and brushed his wet hair back, causing seawater to glisten over his toned physique.


    Su Ling''er is still a kid, so she immediately ran away.


    However, everydy around her instinctively swallowed their saliva upon seeing Yu Long, including Jasmine.


    ''Thank god he wore an unbuttoned Hawaiian shirt.'' Thedies thought simultaneously. Even though they have seen shirtless Yu Long before, the charm is different when he is wet.


    Yu Long chuckled and plunged his hand into the water. "Hehe, it''s my turn now."


    As everyone was still in a daze, a small wave swept over them.


    "Uwaah!" Su Ling''er barely dodged. She looked around and saw the older sisters reddening like lobsters.


    "Eh, what happened? Why are the sisters all red?"


    Yu Long chuckled and answered, "They are just tired. Let''s go out of the water and have lunch."


    "Lunch~!" Su Ling''er excitedly jumped and ran away again.


    Yu Long nced at his wives and femalepanions in amusement, "What are you waiting for? I will grill seafood for you."


    After that, they had a nice lunch with a bunch of grilled seafood Yu Long cooked himself.


    ...


    "Okay, I will teach you a little about the Profound Way now." Yu Long said while staring at Su Ling''er.


    Su Ling''er stayed in her seat and listened attentively, "Ling''er is listening."


    "Profound Way is a path for someone to break one''s limit. It''s a pursuit of life, chasing or following after one''s desire." Yu Long continued calmly.


    "Ling''er. Tell me, what''s your reason to cultivate?"


    "Hmm, to protect Mom and everyone?" Su Ling''er replied while balling her little fist.


    "If Ling''er has power, bad guys won''t touch Mom anymore..."


    "Ling''er will also protect Big Brother!"


    Yu Long smiled at her pure answer, "Good, Ling''er has the potential to be powerful like me."


    "Really?"


    "Yes."


    "Now, give me your hands."


    Su Ling''er followed Yu Long''s orders and stretched her arms, allowing him to inspect her potential.


    Three minutes passed, and Yu Long frowned slightly.


    Su Ling''er is odd.


    Not in a negative way, of course.


    ''Everyone has a set of Profound Veins, which would naturally grow and mature at fourteen. However, the Profound Veins inside Su Ling''er are abnormally mature and filled with vitality, something one usually sees from a peak Profound Elementary Realm.'' Yu Long activated [Kaiju Maker] to observe Su Ling''er more seriously.


    ''Also, there is a sign of Aspects... I don''t know where it was, but Su Ling''er definitely possessed something special.''


    ''Just how much did the Ancestral God alter with her power? It is bing ridiculous.''


    ''Her blood.'' He finally found something.


    "Ling''er, can Big Brother take your blood? Just a little."


    Su Ling''er was stunned before asking, "I-Is it going to be painful?"


    "No." Yu Long replied reassuringly.


    "Then, go on and take Ling''er blood!" The little girl steeled her resolve but still closed her eyes. Su Ling''er has seen a lot of blood for a girl her age, but seeing her own blood is different.


    Yu Long patted Su Ling''er and extracted her blood quickly. It was so quick she didn''t feel any movement or pain.


    With the blood in hand, Yu Long scanned it with [Kaiju Maker] and grinned because the Ancestral God left a surprise for him. Although in small quantities, Su Ling''er possessed ''Chaos'' inside her body.


    An absolute trait that only Ancestral God wields beside Nothingness.


    ''Haha, that Crazy Simp probably left this behind for Yun Che. Too bad for her, I''ve acquainted myself with Su Ling''er first.'' Yu Longughed at Ancestral God''s scheme.


    Thinking about it, Yu Long immediately devised a perfect Profound Art for Su Ling''er. As long as Su Ling''er could cultivate the ''Chaos'' Attribute, she would be a powerhouse in the future.


    Yu Long has recorded Chaos Attribute''s profound patterns so he could develop and use themter.


    "Ling''er, one more question."


    "Hmm?"


    "What do you like the most in the world?"


    "Mother?"


    "No, no, not a person."


    "I''m talking about nature like water, soil, or nts."


    Su Ling''e let out a squeal, "Ling''er likes Bamboo the most!"


    "Bamboo..." Yu Long visualized the essence of Bamboo in his mind and was surprised by how versatile it is. If Su Ling''er used Bamboo as a weapon, she could wield a sword, spear, stick, and even whip.


    On top of that, Bamboo is a giant grass with extreme vitality.


    It would be funny seeing Su Ling''er beat the shit out of everyone with her bamboo stick. Unknowingly, Yu Long created a feverish nightmare for the Primal Chaos.


    In the future, Su Ling''er will be one of the most fearsome goddesses!


    Fifteen minutester, Yu Long lifted his hand off the girl''s head and watched her blink in confusion.


    "Uuh, what''s this new thing in my head?" Su Ling''er mumbled while checking the Profound Art Yu Long gifted to her.


    "[Chaotic Divine Bamboo Principle]."


    "From now on, Big Brother wants you to recite [Chaotic Divine Bamboo Principle] every morning and night. When you reach level 5, Big Brother will teach you more." Yu Long shed an eager smile.


    "Level five, level five..." Su Ling''er pumped her fist. "Ling''er will reach level five quickly!"


    ...


    Yu Long sent Su Ling''er to thedies and sat on the balcony with Zilong, the World-Devouring Tyrant Dragon.


    "I want to do something dangerous. Can you shield the balcony from the outside world?" He requested Zilong.


    "Seriously? You went to work right away, huh?" Zilong was speechless.


    Yu Long just rxed for roughly four days. Yes, four goddamn days. And He wanted to do a dangerous experiment already.


    Yu Long shrugged, "The world won''t wait for me."


    Zilong sighed and ced a barrier around the balcony, closing the area from the outside world. He crossed his arms and watched over the meditating Yu Long silently.


    As much as Zilong admired Yu Long for his bright mind and power, he wished he had taken a long break or experienced things kids his age would foolishly do.


    At that moment, Yu Long hovered in his inner dimension.


    Besides the three main worlds, the Sky Poison Pearl, Kaiju World, and the Primordial Core, several blinking stars exist near these worlds.


    There is one with a bright purple stered white luster. Near that star is a jet-ck star with a red tint. These two stars represent Yu Long''s [Art of Violet Mist] and [Art of Ghost].


    Near these stars, there are also two simr but distinct stars. One is golden with vibrant green res, and the other is simrly golden but has a dim, dark green ray.


    They are [Miracle of Life] and [Great Way of the Buddha], which constantly support Yu Long with Life Energy and Healing Force.


    Far away, a star of destruction with a cracked body and ashes-like smoke also exists. Yup, this one is none other than the [Art of True Apex] Yu Long carefully developed.


    Besides these five great stars, Yu Long also cultivated many minor stars and aspects. Those minor stars are more like support for his usage.


    Yu Long cupped his hands and whispered, "Chaos..."


    "Thank you for the little gift, Ancestral God."


    "With this, I can create yet another Ultimate Profound Art." After saying that, Yu Long began building profound patterns and structures based on Chaos Attribute.


    Jasmine peeked from Sky Poison Pearl and was fascinated by Yu Long''s calctive prowess. If it were any other person, they would have exploded instantly.


    Three hourster.


    A new star was born inside Yu Long.


    Flickers!


    Zzt!


    It was amethyst in color, shining with ominous and chaotic crimson lightning. For a moment, one could see a unique-shaped flower hovering near it.


    Yu Long sessfully created a new Profound Art.


    He named it [Art of Tempered Chaos Flower].


    ...


    In the real world, Yu Long huffed and revealed a pair of amethyst-colored yet gem-like eyes. Those eyes seemed to possess chaotic intent that could plunge the world into chaos.


    "It''s time to make Ancestral God''s new body." Yu Long confidently said.

    --- Chapter 169 ---


    On the vast ocean, Yu Long hovered above the seawater.


    Yu Long gathered many essence spheres from his Kaiju World. He has collected many rare and unique ones to make a new body for the Ancestral God, but he doubts they would be enough for her.


    The Ancestral God is the first being thates into existence in the Primal Chaos. Strictly speaking, she was also the Primal Chaos''s consciousness.


    Such a mighty being is bound to possess limitless traits Yu Long can''t replicate easily. Heck, she''s the literal ancestor of God Race and Devil Race.


    However, who said Yu Long can''t make some of those traits better than before?


    If Yu Long wanted topare, he was also a God of his own. Well, he didn''t like to y such a character in the first ce."Have you gathered it all?" Yu Long asked the empty air while floating in the sky.


    "Aye, aye, captain!" An invisible person responded.


    Arge glob of essence appeared before Yu Long, sporting crimson and dark color. These are the essence of the unfortunate casualty of the fight between Lily, Hong Guan, and Duhan.


    Most of the death was ''actually'' caused by Duhan''s blind attacks, as he would do anything to kill Lily and Hong Guan without regard for his surroundings.


    From it, Yu Long could hear the wail of death, anger, and sadness.


    Yu Long wasn''t a Saint, but he did feel emphatic for these unfortunate souls. His power is not omnipotent as he couldn''t revive the death to its original form, not with his current realm, so he decided to use these unfortunate souls as catalysts to bring the Ancestral God back.


    Yu Long''s golden eyes gleamed with profoundness, ''The life of ordinary people is unfortunate. Weak people are even more unfortunate, so I hope your sorrow awakens a shred of Ancestral God''s true emotion.''


    Of course, Yu Long wasn''t aplete monster.


    Although he used the word ''catalyst'' in his n, all he did was give these unfortunate souls theirst moment to part from the world of living.


    He breathed in and gazed at the sky, "The weather is just right."


    Yu Long cleared his throat and dered firmly, "All Kaiju who weren''t on duty, you maye out and protect the surrounding area from the destruction I was about to create!"


    He didn''t stop there and also summoned his Profound Incarnations, the Seven Deadly Sins.


    "Yes, My Lord/Your Highness/Monarch/Master!!"


    Several shadows appeared,ing in different sizes and shapes. The sheer line-up of Yu Long''s force is enough to trample any Royal Star Realm.


    They followed Yu Long''s orders and went to different locations.


    Yu Long activated [Kaiju Maker] to the limit and put his hands to summon countless raw essence spheres from his inner world. Each with immense vitality and ability.


    Yup, Yu Long is going to be broke after this.


    Six different images appeared above Yu Long with a swarm of bright fireflies. These images included violet mist, a ghostly king''s shadow, a hideous monster in ashes, a dark gold pagoda, a river of gold and light, and a chaotic flower. These images represent his primary Profound Art, while the fireflies are the support he cultivated on the side.


    "Next..." Yu Long calls forth the Primordial Core. Technically speaking, this is also one of the Profound Art he cultivated, which is [Summer Moon Grandmist[, but he let it run automatically.


    It''s more like an energy refiner than other Profound Arts, which contains the God Legacy or Yu Long''s martial insight.


    "Let''s start." Yu Long closed his eyes and focused on operating [Kaiju Maker].


    Under his delicate control, the raw essence spheres melt and slowly merge into three liquid orbs.


    White, ck, and red.


    The white liquid is theposite of spiritual essences like soul and mental power.


    The ck liquid is pure dark matter, which shouldn''t be confused with ''Dark Matter'' in the scientific realm, as it was a new type of universal material Yu Long produced to shape his Kaiju.


    The veryponent of this material is infinite atomic-sized vitality,pressed for molding physical(whether organic or inorganic) matter ording to Yu Long''s wishes.


    Andstly, red liquid. It was a trait, like DNA or what Yu Long called a trace of existence. Of course, it''s not just one trait because inside the red liquid are countless microgenes.


    Yu Long stretched his right arm and used the remnant of unfortunate souls to trigger three liquids'' transformation. From time to time, he could hear grateful whispers.


    But Yu Long focused on the three liquids, which slowly rotated and blended into one.


    Thunderclouds appeared above Yu Long''s head.


    It was a sign of cmity lightning.


    "Everyone, use your power to protect Yu Long!" Zilong''s eyes widened as he roared at the sky. All Kaiju in the vicinity and Profound Incarnations made their moves, creating a dome around Yu Long.


    ''It''s also time to break into the Divine Origin Realm.'' Yu Long cast a proud look at his Kaiju.


    He sped his hand and clenched hard, "Form."


    BOOM!


    A lightning strike fell on Yu Long.


    As if the universe was mad at Yu Long, he got struck by lightning every millisecond. However, the tribtions made Yu Long even more sturdy with every strike.


    His Primordial Core spun like no tomorrow, emitting this tinum-gold hue.


    "Bless!" Yu Long''s Primordial Core released a screeching noise as a beam of Primordial Aura fell onto the merging Essence Sphere.


    Ancestral God''s soul jumped from Yu Long''s confines and flew into the swirling chaos he created.


    Ding!


    The sound of a bell ringing appeared in Yu Long''s head.


    "Okay, that doesn''t sound good." Yu Long lifted his head and saw a cosmic dust storm gathered above the Blue Pole Star.


    As the dust rapidly collided against each other, an electricity level Yu Long hadn''t sensed before came into existence.


    Yu Long gritted his teeth and cursed the universe, "Damn."


    Crack!


    A spatial tear appeared, and the storm above sent its first judgment.


    The lightning didn''t enter the atmosphere but entered the spatial tear instead.


    It was a colorless and dangerous force of destruction.


    "Fuck-!" Yu Long saw the other side of the spatial tear appear above his head, bypassing the dome his Kaiju created.


    BOOOOOOOOOM!


    "Yu Long!"


    "Master!"


    "My Lord!"


    Several worried cries echoed in the area.


    Yu Long spewed a mouthful of blood and experienced brain-ripping pain all over his body. His clothes got torn, well burned into ashes, which is the more proper way to say it.


    That lightning strike is dangerous. To injure Yu Long''s body to this degree is something not many could achieve.


    "Hmm?" As he wiped the blood from his mouth, he sensed the [Great Way of the Buddha], which hadn''t shown much progress, finally flowing rapidly.


    The dark gold pagoda shone brightly.


    He grinned, "It said that no one ever reaches the Seventh Stage of [Great Way of the Buddha], as the body just can''t contain the tyrannical energy and explode."


    "Not to mention, this era''s Primordial Energy is near extinct."


    "I''ve reached the peak mortal of Saint Body, but it seems there is another way to advance further."


    "Come on, strike me!" Yu Long flipped his finger at the storm above.


    BOOM!


    Responding to Yu Long''s vulgar taunt, the storm sent yet another lightning strike.


    Yu Long''s body and cultivation base advanced slowly under the cmity of lightning trials. However, his mind always focused on creating Ancestral God''s new body.


    After six lightning strikes, Yu Long huffed and felt his dark gold pagoda was about to crumble apart.


    Such tenacity. Even God and the Devil cannotpare to the [Kaiju Maker].


    Meanwhile, the new vessel for Ancestral God is also about to bepleted.


    "It''s thest one, huh?" Yu Long discerned that the storm mustered every strength into thisst lightning strike. He nced at the solidifying vessel and bitterlyughed, "You''re really getting me into aplete mess."


    "Well, here we go."


    "Come on, strike me again if you have the balls!"


    A spatial tear appeared, allowing the Lightning of Destruction to reach Yu Long.


    Yu Long clenched his fist and punched the air with all he had.


    [Art of True Apex - 2nd Layer: King of Monsters'' Domination]


    BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!


    Two forces collided and caused space and time disturbance.


    "I''m the winner..." Yu Long dered while seeing the lightning cmity storm scatter away. He lost all his strength for a moment, and a graceful figure unexpectedly embraced him from behind.


    It wasn''t any of his wives orpanions.


    A woman in a simple white dress hugged Yu Long tightly.


    She stood nearly 180 centimeters with cascade-like white hair, a fairplexion, and a peerless goddess-like appearance.


    Yet a ck blindfold covered her eyes, making her look like someone devoted herself to a religion.


    "Oh, It''s you..." Yu Long sighed in relief.


    "I''ve fulfilled my part of the deal."


    "And it''s your turn now to fulfill your part now." Finishing his words, Yu Long fainted on the spot.


    The blindfolded woman caressed Yu Long''s face and mumbled, "He actually did it..."


    "Given our contract, I will be your servant for the next two hundred years."


    "This can also count as repenting for my irresponsible past actions..."


    "Let''s take care of each other from now on."


    "Yu Long-!" The blindfolded woman paused and then let out a hearty chuckle."Ah, wait... I should call you Master now~!"

    --- Chapter 170 ---


    Yu Long felt like he was floating in a dream world.


    He awkwardly stopped as he crashed onto two soft cushions, which allowed his face to sink gracefully.


    "Kaiju Maker." A melodious voice suddenly stirred his soul.


    It was definitely a woman.


    "I left a small wisp of myself for you."


    "I hope you can find the real me soon..." She said with a slightly hopeful tone.Yu Long gradually discerned the space warped, and his consciousness returned to reality. He wanted to reply to the woman, but his time in this realm was unbelievably short.


    Watching Yu Long gone, the woman hugged her knees and sighed in thefort of a forgotten void. As much as she hated her living conditions, she couldn''t leave this ce consciously.


    "Two hundred years isn''t short, but it isn''t that long either."


    "The traces, clues, and soul remnants. Given how intuitive Kaiju Maker was, he should have caught on quite fast."


    "Oh well, the River of Samsara hasn''t moved for a while. He might clean those muddy creatures away..."


    ...


    Yu Long gasped and clutched his chest in indescribable anxiety.


    "What the... What was that?" He couldn''t remember anything about the whisper in the Dream World. It feels like a lucid dream, but he instinctively knew the Dream World existed somewhere in the Primal Chaos.


    Then, Yu Long realized his head was resting on something soft.


    "Are you enjoying your nap, Master?" A simrly melodious voice with a hint of deepness brushed Yu Long''s ears.


    Yu Long blinked a few times and saw a pair of gray-blue eyes staring straight at him. Her soft white hair fell on him, grazing his cheek.


    "You''re Ancestral God?" He called the beauty that gave him ap pillow.


    The beauty smiled weakly, "Formerly, yes."


    "Strictly speaking, I''m the 200th Reincarnation of Ancestral God, as the remaining 800 reincarnations were ''irresponsibility'' used to activate [Mirror of Samsara]''s hidden prowess and rewind the universe."


    "Who would have thought the mortal''s emotion of the 1000th reincarnation affects our well-being so much?"


    "Yeah, that was bullshit." Yu Long closed his eyes and sighed.


    Hearing Yu Long''s rudement, the ''Ancestral God'' could only chuckle bitterly at herself.


    She wanted to forge her Ancestral Sacred Body, the most divine physique in the Primal Chaos, but she had to go through 1000 cycles of reincarnations.


    The 999 reincarnations were active, as she retained the Ancestral Will and her memories every time she reincarnated. However, in her 1000th reincarnation, she had to go through real reincarnation and forget everything.


    It is when things be really messy.


    Her 1000th reincarnation, Xiao Lingxi, messed up many things in the Primal Chaos because of her darling''s death.


    ''If the 1000th reincarnation died normally, everything would have been fine.'' She shook her head and wore a blindfold again.


    After a while, Yu Long felt he had recovered enough.


    "So... Do you have a name?" Yu Long finally opened his mouth.


    Ancestral God''s 200th reincarnation gazed at the distance, "I don''t think I can use my former name. It is tied to the Primal Chaos, so I''d like a different name."


    "Why don''t you give me a name, Master?"


    "You''re my creator, after all."


    Yu Long pondered as he deeply gazed at the Ancestral God''s 200th reincarnation. The more he looked at her, the more he found her appearance was familiar to 2B from NieR: Automata.


    Of course, the Ancestral God''s 200th reincarnation looks older and has more superior assets than 2B.


    "Shizu." Yu Long blurted out of nowhere.


    "Yeah, that would be your name."


    Shizu listened to Yu Long''s reply and let out a smallugh, "Shizu, huh? I like the name."


    "Then, Master..." She gradually lowered her head. "Please take care of Shizu from now on."


    ...


    Kaiju No. 19


    Species: Celestial Fairy


    Grade: SSS+


    Abilities: Godly Perfect Maid, Primal Chaos''s Will, Primordial Element Authority, True Nothingness, Disturbed Chaos, Space-Time Render, Radiant Sacred Body(False), Ancestral God''s Will(Sealed), Eyes of Samsara(False), Transformation, Immortality(True)


    Given Name: Shizu


    ...


    Yu Long stood up, stretching his body a bit.


    "Oh, yeah. I didn''t ask this earlier."


    "How is the body? Do you feel ufortable in any way?"


    Shizu gazed at her hand and answered, "This body isn''t as good as my original."


    ''No shit, Sherlock! I have limited resources.'' Yu Long''s mouth twitched at her reply.


    "It''s indeed inferior." Shizu covered her mouth and continued. "But the vessel that Master made definitely has untapped potential. Thankfully, Master shaped my body with this amazing matter(dark matter), or else it couldn''t contain my soul."


    "Master also added some abilities I am familiar with, which made me feel grateful."


    "Is that so?" Yu Long rolled his eyes when Shizu began showering him with praise.


    Although Shizu''s loyalty is questionable, she actually devoted herself seriously to Yu Long.


    "Old Yu, are you okay?" Zilong tore the spatial fabric and went to their side.


    Yu Long waved his hand, "I''m just exhausted."


    "Anyway, Zilong... This is Shizu, Kaiju No.19 a.k.a the former Ancestral God."


    "And Shizu, this is Zilong, Kaiju No.17 a.k.a the former Primordial Azure Dragon."


    "Get along well, you''rerade now."


    "..." Zilong.


    He stared at Yu Long dumbly, ''Seriously, you''re going to introduce us to each other like that?''


    ''Also, why are you so casual when introducing her to me!''


    ''SHE''S THE ANCESTRAL GOD, FOR GOD SAKE!!''


    Yu Long feigned Zilong''sint as he yawned carefreely.


    Shizu stepped forward and bowed, "Hi, Zilong."


    "I''m Master''s maid. Please take care of me."


    "H-Hello...." Zilong answered awkwardly. He''s acting like this because the Ancestral God was an unparalleled existence in the Primal Chaos, and she is also the one who started the Primordial Era of Gods by separating her will into eight pieces that allowed Primal Chaos to birth millions of creatures.


    Heck, Zilong is technically her descendant.


    Shizu smiled andmented, "Don''t be too stiff."


    "Even though I was the Ancestral God, I lost most of my memories and power due to an ident..."


    "Sure, ident." Yu Long mumbled between his breaths.


    Zilong bowed back, "Ah, let''s get along well!"


    Shizu giggled inwardly and found Zilong''s existence amusing because he was just like her. Not only is he a kaiju, but his essence was a mix of another world''s force and Primal Chaos.


    ''Maybe my situation isn''t so grim.'' She thought to herself.


    "Okay, that''s enough introduction." Yu Long interrupted them. "Let''s go back to the resort, I''m hungry."


    "Everyone, except Zilong and Shizu, is dismissed!"


    The dome barrier crumbled slowly and made a bright sun ahead illuminate the ocean again. Yu Long squinted his eyes and saw a shadow covering his face.


    It was Shizu who conjured an umbre for him.


    "How thoughtful of you." He gave her a calm look.


    "I''m trying to be your perfect maid." Shizu returned confidently.


    ''Damn, Old Yu. I don''t know your limit. You even took the Ancestral God as your maid.'' Meanwhile, Zilong was questioning his reality.


    Shizu puffed her chest and added, "Do you want me to create a portal for you?"


    Yu Long was curious about her limit, so he agreed.


    Shizu traced her slender finger against the air, cutting the spatial fabric, and pulled them apart with her bare hands.


    They didn''t sense any disturbance in Profound Strength.


    It was pure physical prowess.


    "..." Yu Long.


    "..." Zilong.


    Even though the firmness of spatial fabric in the Blue Pole Star is weakerpared to the upper realm, that doesn''t mean one could tear it effortlessly with physical prowess.


    No, they doubt the spatial fabric in the upper realm could resist her strength either.


    "Old Yu, why didn''t you make my body that strong." Zilong couldn''t help but feel envious.


    "Tsk, shut up." Even Yu Long didn''t expect this development. It seems he really went all out for Shizu.


    Shizu bent her body and swayed her slender hand to the newly ripped portal, "Master, the portal is ready."


    Yu Long nodded and walked in, finding himself on the beach near the resort. Shizu didn''t just rip the space but also connected it several hundred thousand miles away.


    "Wait, how did you know about the resort''s coordinate?"


    "Did you read my mind?"


    "I didn''t dare to do such a thing, Master." Shizu shook her head adamantly. "But I did read Zilong''s mind..."


    "Please pardon my rudeness."


    "Eh?" Zilong was shocked.


    "Don''t do that in the future." Yu Long scolded her with a frown. He turned around and walked to the resort.


    "Yes." Shizu followed after him with a small smile but then stopped because felt Zilong''s gaze on her back.


    "What''s the matter, Zilong?"


    "Are you waiting for something?"


    Under the blindfold, Zilong saw a glimpse of Shizu''s dull blue eyes. Those eyes look like a misty morning sky and prate Zilong''s soul. Or even more!


    "N-Nothing..."


    ''Scary. This woman is scary!!'' Zilong gulped in fright.


    ''Old Yu, you''re ying with a FUCKING SUN!''

    --- Chapter 171 ---


    "Everyone, I''m back!" Yu Long entered the resort and saw thedies talking in the lounge room.


    Su Ling''er jumped from her seat excitedly and ran to hug Yu Long. "Big Brother Yu Long~!"


    Yu Long smiled and patted her, "There, there."


    "Has Ling''er been a good girl when Big Brother went out?"


    "Mm." Su Ling''er nodded a little. "Ling''er has been a good girl!"


    Shortly after, everyone else greeted Yu Long and invited him to sit beside them. Then, they suddenly noticed something from the corner of their eyes.Like a singled-out image of a picture, Shizu stood out in the corner with a neutral expression.


    "Oh!" Su Ling''er found Shizu absolutely beautiful. "Big Brother, who is this beautiful older sister?"


    Yunlong stepped behind and introduced the rebirthed Ancestral God to everyone, "Her name is Shizu. She''s a new maid that I recruited on my way here."


    Faced with such a tant lie, Su Ling''er giggled unknowingly, but her eyes lit up in amazement. "Woah... Hi, Sister Shizu." She introduced herself right away. "My name is Su Ling''er!"


    Shizu smiled outside, "Nice to meet you, Su Ling''er."


    Although Shizu was smiling, she couldn''t help but feel guilty when seeing Su Ling''er in the flesh. She altered this child''s life back then, so watching Su Ling''er greeting her like this is like torture.


    At the same time, Shizu also felt prating gazes on herself.


    The gazes areing from Cang Yue and Xia Qingyue.


    Cang Yue cultivated Monarch Heart Secret Art, allowing her to pry into Worldly Luck Qi and others. However, Shizu is aplete void in Cang Yue''s sense because her existence is like an anomaly in the Algorithm.


    She couldn''t sense a bit of luck in Shizu, which means Yu Long''s new maid was either unlucky or she hid it.


    Meanwhile, Xia Qingyue frowned because she knew Shizu''s identity right away. As the possessor of [Nine Profound Exquisite Body] and [Heart of Snow zed ss], Xia Qingyue could see the essence of an object or person.


    From Shizu, Xia Qingyue felt an indescribable familiarity. Since Yu Long had told her earlier about the person who influenced her fate, she could guess Shizu was the Ancestral God!


    Xia Qingyue gazed at Shizu and thought solemnly, ''You, the Originator of the Primordial Era of Gods, messed with my fate. I was mad and wished nothing but to tear you apart...''


    ''I don''t want to appear vengeful in front of Yu Long, but who said I can''t hate you in my heart? Hah, even a mighty being like you can get reduced to a mere maid of my husband!'' She viciously smiled when thinking about Ancestral God''s fate.


    So what if you''re the Ancestral God? My husband is the King of Monsters!


    Looking at Xia Qingyue''s smile, Shizu can read Xia Qingyue''s thoughts without using her ability and helplessly sighs in her heart. Yet another victim of her past wrongdoings.


    ''I can''t me Xia Qingyue for hating me.'' Shizu would do her best to fix things up and be friendly with others. Even then, she doesn''t feel she deserves forgiveness until everything is pletely'' settled.


    Even though Shizu wanted to throw all this mess at Xiao Lingxi, she couldn''t. Xiao Lingxi has lost her status as the Ancestral God''s 1000th Reincarnation because of Yu Long''s interference, and she''s no different than a vige girl now.


    Xiao Lingxi might possess a trace of Ancestral God''s minuscule talents, but that''s it.


    Only Shizu has the power to step down and do the dirty work.


    She''s somewhat prideful, after all.


    After everyone knows Shizu, Yu Long tells them to pack things up because they will go to the Lost Heaven Sect.


    "Oh, yeah. Shizu." Yu Long suddenly remembered something.


    "Yes, Master?" Shizu naturally responded.


    Yu Long pointed his finger at Su Ling''er and said, "As you can probably sense, Su Ling''e here possessed a trace of your Chaos Attribute. Besides aiding me and mypanion, your most important task is to teach Su Ling''er how to cultivate in the early realm."


    "I''ve given Su Ling''er a suitable Profound Art, so feel free to add on it and help her improve in Profound Way, but never change its core. Do you understand?"


    Shizu blinked in surprise because her meddling in Su Ling''er''s life created a miracle. However, she was even more shocked when learning Yu Long had given Su Ling''er a suitable Profound Art to cultivate, which means he tailor-made it for her!


    ''I know he has unique powers beyond the realm of Primal Chaos, but this is something else.'' Shizu stared at Su Ling''er thoughtfully.


    "Woah, Sister Shizu is going to be my teacher~?" Su Ling''er asked while tilting her head.


    Shizu smiled, "Yes, let''s get along well, Ling''er."


    "Yey~!"


    Su Ling''er hopped around excitedly.


    ...


    Walking out of the beach resort, everyone gave it ast look before flying away.


    On the way to the Lost Heaven Sect, someone finally said something.


    "Aaah, I miss the resort already!" Lily shouted first.


    Everyone agreed with Lily because those four days were the most rxed ones they ever had in thest few years. Even a workaholic like Yu Long agreed with Lily.


    "We can always visit in the future." Nheless, Yu Long already has a schedule in mind. He can easily order Shizu to teleport everyone to the Lost Heaven Sect, but he wants to fetch some people first.


    Increasing their paces, they arrived at thend formerly known as the Heavenly Sword Mountain Range. However, whates into their vision is seven equally massive mountains surrounded by rivers, forests, and grasnds.


    "What happened here?" Hong Guan was the one shocked this time.


    Hong Guan, Lily, and Freya were sure that the Heavenly Sword Mountain Range and the surrounding area had gotten ruined to oblivion due to their fights with Duhan.


    Freya is resting in the Kaiju World and sees this scenery, grinning from ear to ear. Only a few days passed, but the destroyednd had returned to its full glory. It looks and feels much better than before.


    Her hard work with other Kaiju paid off.


    "I call for help. What do you think?" Yu Long shed a smile at Hong Guan and Lily.


    "It''s great..." Hong Guan was happy. Then, she remembered those innocent lives she indirectly reaped.


    Lily smacked Hong Guan''s butt and made her yelp, "Okay, stop with the gloominess. It''s not our fault."


    "We tried to talk it out, but that monster ignored our plea."


    Of course, Lily is talking about Duhan.


    "Okay..." Hong Guan''s worry lessened slightly.


    Meanwhile, Shizu looked around the remationnd to see something ordinary eyes can''t see and mumbled, "Impressive."


    "Such an efficient control over matter..."


    "It seems my seniors aren''t ordinary."


    "Teacher, why did you wear a blindfold?" Su Ling''er suddenly asked, making everyone gaze at Shizu in realization.


    "Well..." Shizu stopped observing thend. "I did a lot of bad things recently. The blindfold is my way of sealing my eyes from doing bad things again."


    "Owh~!" Su Ling''er nodded in understanding. "But you can still see with that on?"


    Shizu giggled, "Yes. I can still see."


    "Woah~!" The little girl was amazed. She thought Shizu wielded some unique magic or something.


    Yu Long watched these conversations unfold and sighed in relief. Shizu isn''t doing that badly.


    "Oy, brat! How long are you going to make me wait!" A yell suddenly appeared in the mountains, echoing several miles away.


    Yu Long recognized this voice andughed, "Haha~! Don''t make it like I waste, old man. It''s just a few days."


    At the mountaintop, Yu Long spotted Yun Canghai. Behind Yun Canghai is Hua Minghai(Ghost Mirage Sacred Hand) with his wife, Fen Juechen, Sikong Du, and the Fairies of Frozen Cloud Asgard.


    Before Duhanes with his army, they have evacuated far away and returned upon receiving Yu Long''s summoning call.


    With the addition of these people, Yu Long gave Shizu an order to teleport everyone to the Lost Heaven Sect.


    Shizu followed Yu Long''s order, and everyone found themselves at the entrance of the Lost Heaven Sect. A collective gasp escaped their mouths because they couldn''t even blink when it happened.


    "Everyone, wee to the Lost Heaven Sect." Yu Long said with a yful chuckle. "This is the ce where you can achieve your dream."

 Chapter 177: Grandmothers Story

    Chapter 177: Grandmother''s Story


    I have added this fanfic to my P4treon Page. You can support me and read advanced chapters there. It motivate me to write more chapters for you guys!


    Link: /NineClouds69


    --- Chapter 174 ---


    Yu Long arrived at the yard and felt a chill in his spine.


    Xu Nannan carefreely sat on the artificial pond''s edge, feeding fish with green-colored pellets. "Hmm, you''re here..." She turned around when sensing someone''s presence and left Yu Long dumbfounded.


    Her face is that of her thirties self, having very few wrinkles but still appearing very beautiful.


    However, what shocked Yu Long wasn''t that.


    Behind Xu Nannan, a massive projection stood firmly. It towered over the surrounding trees and cast a shadow over them. It also has human-like qualities, such as limb-like branches and a crooked face.


    Yes, this is a Treant!Xu Nannan has been cultivating [Art of Prying Wood] Yu Long tailor-made for her. To Yu Long''s surprise, she actually reached such a high mastery to the point of forming her own Profound Manifestation.


    Sometimes, Yu Long forgot his family members are naturally gifted.


    ''I guess Grandpa''s words of Noble''s duty are indeed true. He really considered Grandma''s bloodline when performing his duty.'' Yu Long thought to himself.


    ''9th Princess. Although her position might be the lowest, her talent is probably one of the best in the Grand Asura Kingdom''s Royal Family.''


    ''In the original story, Grand Asura Kingdom''s Royal Family got wiped by the Phoenix Sect, yet my Grandma is here and still kicking on. There must be something going on here.''


    Xu Nanan smiled and patted the ground, "What are you standing there for? Sit here. Grandma has a story to tell."


    Before Yu Long could reply, a thick root dragged him to the spot beside Xu Nannan and bound him there.


    "Grandma, why did you do this?" Yu Long asked with a frown.


    Xu Nannan giggled and returned, "Just some precaution, dear."


    ''Precaution from what?'' Yu Long wanted to ask, but he knew it was ''basically'' useless to argue with his unreasonable Grandma.


    Xu Nannan is the definition of a kind and fair but very stubborn Grandmother. She wouldn''t take a no easily.


    With the increase of her cultivation base, Xu Nannan stood in the top five spots of the most fearsome experts in the Lost Heaven Sect.


    "Don''t be so stiff and look so solemn." Xu Nannan kept feeding the fish with pellets. "Grandma wanted to tell you my life story."


    "This will be a long one. Do you want snacks?"


    Even though Yu Long could run away with no problem, he sighed and still gave in, "Do you have those caramelized sugar-coated citrus slices?"


    "Of course." Xu Nannan set boxes of caramelized sugar-coated citrus slices for her dear grandson. She also freed one of Yu Long''s arms so he could grab and eat them.


    Watching Yu Long enjoy the caramelized sugar-coated citrus slices, Xu Nannan smiled and said, "Okay, Grandma will start the story..."


    ...


    Years ago.


    Before the Divine Phoenix Sect showed itself, the Grand Asura Kingdom was one of the Great Seven Nations. They are prominent ones, having many experts and bountiful resources.


    They reigned over thend for a few hundred years until the sign of the Divine Phoenix Sect appeared.


    At first, the Grand Asura Kingdom''s Royal Family ignored it because the Divine Phoenix Sect grew very slowly. Yes, at a snail-like pace.


    Then, a member of the Branch Family passed the Divine Phoenix Trial and obtained the Phoenix''s Bloodline! It was the first burst of strength the Divine Phoenix Sect had, allowing them to recruit more members.


    Of course, just one member won''t change much.


    Nevertheless, the person who passed and obtained Phoenix''s Bloodline married and passed his bloodline to his children. It was like a rock thrown on calm water, causing a continuous ripple.


    In just fifty years, the Branch Family soared to the sky like a Divine Phoenix ascending to heaven. Their family members became prominent figures in the Grand Asura Kingdom, and the Royal Family didn''t like it.


    The atmosphere in the Grand Asura Kingdom smelt like gunpowder since then. It can explode at any time.


    The Grand Asura Kingdom''s Royal Family tried to wipe the Divine Phoenix Sect down but failed many times. Instead of backing down, the Divine Phoenix Sect became mightier than ever.


    Another fifty yearster. The Branch Familyunched a coup and took over the capital.


    Of course, the Royal Family didn''t take this lying down and fought to bitter ends. It was not until five centuries passed that the second Emperor of the Grand Asura Kingdom made a deal with the Ancient Profound Beast and passed down Treant''s Bloodline to his children.


    The former Emperor of the Grand Asura Kingdom had sixty sons and nine daughters. Overall, he sired sixty-nine children.


    Yes, Feng Nannan was the youngest royalty at the time.


    Because of the civil war, the Royal Family had limited resources, and only some of the Second Emperor''s children could show their talents. And Feng Nannan was one of the unfortunate ones.


    At twelve, she was an outcast due to her low Cultivation Base and was sent to the enemy''s territory as a spy. After some bizarre events, she somehow made friends with some members of the Branch Family.


    To think she would be closer to the distant family member than her own biological family. Although Feng Nannan shared the same bloodline as the Branch Family, it was only a sliver from the lineage of five hundred years ago, making it more ironic.


    Unknowingly, these friends are also the ones who saved Feng Nannan''s life in the future.


    Feng Nannan bes a double agent. She knew Grand Asura Kingdom''s struggle against the overpowering Divine Phoenix Sect would end some days.


    Did she betray the Grand Asura Kingdom''s Royal Family?


    Yes.


    Did she regret it?


    No.


    At the age of twenty, Feng Nannan was about to send a message back to the Royal Family and told them to hold back for a few weeks, but she fell into a random cliff and entered aatose state for an unknown period.


    Miraculously, a youth named Ye Sanshan fell into the same cliff yearster and awakened Feng Nannan from her deep slumber. From his description, Feng Nannan''s whole body was ''seemingly'' sealed in green crystal made of transparent wood.


    As they stayed on a cliff, they became closer and fell in love with each other.


    Upon returning to the surface, they even married without the Grand Asura Kingdom knowing. To Feng Nannan''s surprise, she has been sleeping for three hundred years!


    The Royal Family is no more.


    Even though the remaining members of the Royal Family have formed a rebellion force, which was ''surprisingly'' led by her elder brothers, Feng Nannan knows they have no chance of winning.


    Her elder brothers thought Feng Nannan had died, but she actually returned stronger.


    They even urged her to join the Rebellion force to regain the Grand Asura Kingdom. Such a dreamy n left Feng Nannan with no choice but to agree.


    When they attacked the Divine Phoenix Sect''s branch, some membersunched an overwhelming counterattack and wiped out the rebellion force.


    Surprisingly, they spared Feng Nannan alone because they recognized her not-aging appearance. Those members are Feng Nannan''s old friends from a hundred years ago. They have be prominent elders of the Divine Phoenix Sect.


    One of the elders is the Divine Phoenix Empire''s Royal Family Prince, Feng Tianwei.


    Feng Tianwei was shocked to see Feng Nannan again.


    Not only Feng Nannan didn''t age, but her bloodline''s potency and quality were also higher than his Phoenix''s Bloodline.


    Because of this, Feng Tianwei shamelessly asked for Feng Nannan''s hand for marriage. Feng Nannan''s husband, Ye Sanshan, won''t let that happen and fought Feng Tianwei for weeks to a draw.


    Once again, Feng Tianwei was shocked.


    He also detected an extraordinary bloodline from Ye Sanshan but couldn''t recognize it for some reason. Of course, Ye Sanshan wouldn''t reveal his background as the Prince of the Eternal Night Royal Family to others.


    Well, Feng Tianwei had a different idea. He thought the union of Feng Nannan and Ye Sanshan''s Bloodlines would create a monster in the future.


    With that in mind, Feng Tianweiughed and made an agreement with Feng Nannan. If Feng Nannan and Ye Sanshan made a great descendant in the future, that descendent of theirs shall get engaged with a talented member of Feng Tianwei''s family.


    After that, Feng Nannan and Ye Sanshan left and hid on the border of the Divine Phoenix Empire. Feng Nannan exchanged letters with Feng Tianwei now and then, giving life updates to an old friend.


    Only recently, Feng Nannan started mentioning her grandson, Yu Long, to the other side. She received a shocking response a while ago, leading to a possible engagement of Yu Long and Feng Tianwei''s granddaughter.


    Feng Nannan knew that Feng Tianwei issued this matter because Yu Long was the Lost Heaven Sect''s young leader. She couldn''t wait to see her old friend''s shocked expression after knowing Yu Long was more than that.


    ...


    "..." Yu Long stared at Xu Nannan dumbly.


    "First of all, you lived an interesting life, Grandma." He breathed deeply.


    "Second..."


    "Can I reject this engagement?"


    Xu Nannan blinked wickedly and responded with a giggle, "Hehe, No."


    ''Damn it, you owe a life debt, and I''m the one paying it.'' Yu Long was speechless.


    "We will visit the Divine Phoenix Empire in a week or so. Prepare yourself because I heard your fiancee is the Number One Beauty of the Profound Sky Continent." After saying that, she gave Yu Long a pinch on the cheek and walked away gleefully.


    "I hope Tianwei''s old bones shook when meeting you!"


    "Kukuku, My grandson is no ordinary person~!"


    Watching Xu Nannan''s back, Yu Long''s face couldn''t help but twitch in helplessness.


    "Feng Tianwei..."


    "Number One Beauty in the Profound Sky Continent."


    "Wait, don''t tell me my fiancee is..." Yu Long stood motionlessly with a bewildered expression. He gazed into the distance and cursed, "Fuck, this must happen because I shattered Yun Che''s fate."


    "His nonsense protagonist fate went to me instead." No wonder Yu Long felt his Golden Karmic Thread be bigger, even though he didn''t do anything much recently.


    "God damn it!!"

    Chapter 181: A Gift, and Finally Meeting Another Heroine


    I have added this fanfic to my P4treon Page. You can support me and read advanced chapters there. It motivate me to write more chapters for you guys!


    Link: /NineClouds69


    --- Chapter 178 ---


    "Where are we going? It is not the direction of the Divine Phoenix Empire, Grandma." As the group of five traveled across the sky, Yu Long noticed something weird.


    Xu Nannan let out a heartyughter as she responded, "I have to get something for my new granddaughter-inw first, no?"


    "We are going to an old home of mine. The gift for her is there."


    She nced at Yu Long''s partners and added, "Don''t worry, I will give you three gifts when the time is right."


    "No, you don''t have to trouble yourself, Ma''am!" They responded quickly in return.


    "Hehe, you can''t refuse." Xu Nannan adamantly said. "Since my grandson is the inheritor of the Eternal Night Royal Family, the least I can do is treat his partners right.""Remember, we are family."


    "And family is strong together."


    Lily, Chu Yueli, and Chu Yuechan felt touched by Xu Nannan''s words.


    Yu Long watched this conversation happen and smiled inwardly because his grandmother was thoughtful despite her stubbornness. The giant bird decreased its speed and descended to the deste-looking in.


    ''Hmm, why did Grandma bring us here...'' Yu Long didn''t sense anything unique about this ce. That''s until Xu Nannan waved her hand and unsealed endless vitality from underground.


    In Yu Long''s vision, the deste ins look like a field of vitality. Green rays burst out from cracks in the ground, creating pirs of energy.


    ''Wood Element, Treant!'' He was stunned.


    The giant birdnded near a cliff, and Xu Nannan jumped down, "Follow me."


    Yu Long and hispanions nced at each other before following Xu Nannan into the cliff. Theynded on the bottom and saw lush vegetation of wildflowers, grasses, vines, and thick roots.


    Yet all this vegetation pulsated with vitality from a massive green crystal ahead. The green crystal''s size is that of ten adults, and there is a human-shaped hole on the bottom of it.


    "Grandma, this cliff..." Yu Long finally connected the dots and realized what this ce was.


    "Yes, this is the cliff I fell into years ago. This ce is also where Xu Sanshan found and awakened me from a deep slumber." Xu Nannan nodded calmly. "I call this ce Evergreen Cliff."


    "Feel free to pick some vegetation here. These are excellent for the artifact''s material and Alchemy''s ingredients."


    Lily was the first to move, with a cat-like glow in her eyes. She went to random bushes and began digging. She truly lived up to her role of money-loving woman.


    A change happened in Lily when staying in this area. Her [Grass Dragon''s Bloodline] grows more potent with the thick yet pure Wood Elements.


    "Go pick those thick roots. I can make something of them." Yu Long gives Chu Yueli and Chu Yuechan an amusing look. They were startled but caught on to his idea pretty quickly.


    Yu Long''s gaze returned to his grandma as he saw her breaking some green crystal with her bare hands.


    The green crystal emitted intense vitality, which Xu Nannan sealed with his profound energy. She also carved the crystal into a hairpin with aesthetic carving.


    Blowing the hairpin, Xu Nannan returned a clump of dust to its origin.


    "Do you want this?" She felt Yu Long''s gaze on the crystal.


    "Will you give it to me?" Yu Long returned with a smile.


    Xu Nannan found Yu Long''s response dumb and snorted, "What kind of Grandma wouldn''t give her grandson some pretty rocks?"


    With a flick of Xu Nannan''s finger, a head-sized rocknded on Yu Long''s arm.


    "Thanks, Grandma." Yu Long could tell this green crystal has a deep history. He can ask Shizu for informationter.


    "Well, let''s go to the Divine Phoenix Empire now." Xu Nannan said after putting her gift in a box.


    She turned around and spotted Lily with three giant pouches. Her lips twitched slightly, "You really took my words for granted, huh?"


    "Err..." Lily scratched her cheeks shamelessly. "I can return one of the pouches if you want."


    "Never mind, keep them." Xu Nannan brushed it off. "We arete anyway."


    ...


    Sealing the destend back, Xu Nannan ordered the giant bird to take them to the Divine Phoenix Empire. She rubbed the bird''s feather and mumbled, "It''s been a long time since I visited the Divine Phoenix Empire."


    "Let''s see if Feng Tianwei is healthy enough to meet me."


    Three hourster.


    The giant bird gradually approached the Divine Phoenix City.


    Yu Long saw the bustling city he visited before andmented, "Well, nothing changed."


    "Oh, you visited the Divine Phoenix City before?" Xu Nannan was intrigued.


    "For business, yes." Yu Long answered honestly. He makes it sound casual and doesn''t bother to exin that the Shadow Realm''s branch wanted to rebel.


    Lily and Chu Yueli also knew about the rebellion as they were there. Still, they kept their lips sealed tight.


    They stopped by a tree on a hill and walked to the Divine Phoenix Empire on foot. Upon reaching the gate, Xu Nannan pulled a wooden que, which made the guards kneel in horror before her.


    Yu Long was interested in what was so special about the wooden que but only saw two words carved into it.


    Ninth Asura!


    ''Imposing title.'' Yu Long rubbed his chin as they entered the city.


    Xu Nannan slowly leads them into several alleyways before stopping at an ordinary-looking teahouse.


    "Wee to Elegant Fire Teahouse." A waitress greeted them with a professional smile.


    Xu Nannan opened her mouth, "Three moons, two jade cups, and sun-kissed tea..."


    The waitress''s eyes couldn''t help but widen in shock when hearing the codes. However, she quickly regained herposure because Xu Nannan was actually a prominent guest!


    She nodded at Xu Nannan without uttering a thing, escorting them to the grandest yet quietest ce in the Elegant Fire Teahouse. They entered an open area surrounded by a beautiful garden of various nts and an artificial river.


    A pavilion made of mahogany woods entered their vision, standing firmly in the garden''s center. Yu Long noticed several arrays of formations ced in this ce, hiding the garden from the outside world.


    If one''s sense is not keen enough, one wouldn''t find such a ce behind the ordinary-looking teahouse. It included Yu Long a few months ago as he was busy recruiting Hua Minghai rather than scouting the area.


    ''Lily, does Shadow Realm have information about this ce?'' Yu Long finally asked Lily.


    Lily gave Yu Long a nod and telepathically responded, ''Yes, our agents did notice some influx of influential people around this teahouse, but I don''t think we know about this secret garden.''


    ''It looks like a secret gathering ce inside another secret gathering ce.''


    "Haha." Yu Long chuckled a little at Lily''sst line.


    "Did you find something amusing, Yu Long?" Xu Nannan asked in puzzlement.


    Yu Long coughed, "It''s nothing."


    They finally arrived at the pavilion, and the waitress brewed tea for them.


    As they enjoyed tea and snacks from the teahouse, Yu Long heard some footsteps. He tilted his head and spotted a group of three approaching with this noble yet fiery aura.


    For ''your ordinary'' cultivators, this aura is menacing. But Yu Long found it weak and unrefined.


    Of course, there is an exception.


    Behind two elderly, a youngdy who looked like a fairy walked with gentle steps. Her petite body excluded youthfulness and endless vitality. Wearing a slightly revealing red dress makes her even more beautiful.


    She looks like a doll. Her white snow-like hair flowed down her back like a waterfall. Innocent blue eyes, a small nose, and enticing lips made her face charming.


    Lastly, she have this golden-red me mark on her forehead, indicating her as the Complete Inheritor of Phoenix.


    "Tianwei!" Xu Nannan called out an elderly with a stern, grudging expression.


    "Nannan." The elder finally smiled.


    Even then, the smile looks forced.


    Yu Long didn''t bother to look at Feng Tianwei or other elderly. His golden eyes always focused on the white-haired girl behind them.


    At the same time, the white-haired girl also stared at Yu Long.


    The world seemingly froze as Divine Phoenix''s Essence, Origin Energy, and Bloodline inside them cried in happiness because of this reunion.


    Yu Long smiled, "May I know your name, youngdy?"


    "Xue''er. Feng Xue''er." The youngdy responded with her sweet voice.


    "Lovely name."


    "What''s your name, big brother?" She asked in return.


    "Yu Long."


    "Ah, you''re... Nice to meet you, Big Brother Yu Long~!" Feng Xue''er recognized the name and giggled in joy.


    Many people called her the number one beauty in the Profound Sky Continent due to her appearance. She''s also given the title Princess Snow.


    She''s the princess of the Divine Phoenix Empire, the sole disciple and heir of the Phoenix God.


    She''s also one of this world''s heroines.


    Feng Xue''er!

    --- Chapter 181 ---


    "Yu Long, what happened?" After witnessing the Phoenix God''s farewell, Xu Nannan, Feng Tianwei, and Feng Hengkong walked out of the pavilion.


    They saw Yu Long standing with a carefree expression as a green-haired woman consoled Feng Xue''er in a tight embrace.


    Feng Tianwei and Feng Hengkong frowned, "Who are you? Get away from Xue''er!"


    Yuyan nced at them and ced her index finger on her lips. "Shuush, you''re going to wake the child."


    "Also, for my other half''s inheritors, you guys are blind as fuck."


    "Language." Yu Long sighed, knowing very well that Yuyan''s flowery words developed due to her Kaiju''s Rebirth.Yuyan winked at Yu Long and responded, "The child is sleeping, so it''s alright."


    After hearing Yuyan''s words, Feng Tianwei and Feng Hengkong sensed an immense quantity of Phoenix God''s blood from Yuyan. No, Her sheer presence alone makes them want to kneel.


    And only one existence could make them feel this way.


    Yes, the Phoenix God herself!


    "T-This is impossible..." Feng Hengkong denied reality.


    "I witnessed the Phoenix God die and passed herplete legacy to Xue''er. But this overwhelming presence, there is no mistake..."


    "The Phoenix God." Feng Tianwei solemnly added.


    "I read there used to be two Divine Phoenix Sects. However, an ident happened, and damage was ''unfortunately'' done. This ident led to our branch losing the 5th and 6th parts of [World Ode of the Phoenix]."


    "Unfortunately..." Yuyan snorted. "Your Divine Phoenix Sect''s teachings have gone astray."


    "I fought with my other half(sister) because of our different ideologies, and she injured me heavily. In the nick of time, I split the [World Ode of the Phoenix] and hid thetter half myself."


    "If not, your Divine Phoenix Sect will fall further into darkness..."


    Feng Tianwei and Feng Hengkong''s eyes widened in shock as their bodies trembled.


    "So you''re really the..." They gazed at Yuyan in fear and reverence.


    Yuyan nodded and answered, "Yes, I''m the Phoenix God. But I went by Yuyan now, a name granted by my dear master."


    "M-Master?!" They were shocked to the core.


    What kind of being could be the master of the Phoenix God?


    Such existence! They couldn''t even fathom how strong that person was.


    ''Well, my master is right in front of you guys. You blind fools!'' Yuyan read their minds like they were books. However, Yuyan didn''t say it out loud for Yu Long''s dramatic exnation in the future.


    "W-Wait a minute..." Feng Hengkong had a bold guess as he gazed at Yu Long in realization.


    Yuyan and others raised their brows, expecting Feng Hengkong to guess correctly.


    Feng Tianwei nced at his son and asked with a low voice, "What''s the matter? Do you have someone in mind?"


    Feng Hengkong nodded solemnly and sucked a cold breath, "With all due respect, Your Majesty Phoenix God. If I may guess, is your master the Lost Heaven Master?"


    "..." Yu Long.


    "..." Yuyan.


    "..." Otherdies.


    It''s not like they didn''t see thising.


    Still, it seems they are setting the bar too freaking low.


    Meanwhile, seeing Yuyan and others this quiet seemingly confirmed Feng Hengkong''s guess about the Lost Heaven Master. Feng Hengkong was incredibly thrilled inside but coughed and continued, "I will keep this secret to my death."


    Even Feng Tianwei was surprised to know his son''s guess was most likely correct.


    ''No, the guess is wrong, you Buffon!'' Yuyan grumbled inside.


    ''Yup, there is no way I''m telling them about my master''s identity.'' She vowed in her heart. Let these visionless fools plunge into ignorance.


    Feng Tianwei excitedly rubbed his hand and nced at Xu Nannan, "Old friend, what do you think? Our Xue''er is known for the number one beauty in the Profound Sky Continent."


    "She''s a perfect match for your grandson."


    "I don''t know anymore... You should ask Yu Long." Xu Nannan waved her hand as if deflecting the mess somewhere else.


    Feng Tianwei and Feng Hengkong gazed at Yu Long, looking like those hungry salesmen.


    "Young Yu Long, although Xue''er is still young, it''s actually perfect because you two can get to know each other better." Feng Hengkong tried to sound wise.


    "Yes, yes. You two will be such a perfect couple. I will be happy to know my granddaughter is engaged to the right man." Feng Tianwei stroked his beard, adding fuel to the conversation.


    "Well..." Yu Long''s mouth couldn''t help but twitch.


    "Xue''er is cute, and her bubbly personality resonates with me. She''s going to be a good wife."


    "But you should know I have several rtionships with other women, right?"


    "No problem!" Feng Tianwei pped Feng Hengkong''s back excitedly.


    "My son here has 460+ wives, so we don''t have a problem with polygamous rtionships."


    Of course, Feng Hengkong had so many wives for good reason because the Divine Phoenix Empire''s Royal Family needed a suitable heir.


    Feng Xue''er is truly a miracle for them, as she is the one and only princess of the empire. Not only that, she also possessed the highest talentpared to Feng Hengkong''s other descendants.


    Feng Hengkong smiled at Yu Long, "As my father said, we don''t have a problem with you having a rtionship with multiple women."


    "As long as you treat Xue''er like the wife she is in the future, we are happy enough."


    ''If possible, make exceptional descendants!'' Feng Hengkong whispered in his heart. The union of Yu Long and Feng Xue''er will lead to godly children with unheard potential, and Feng Hengkong couldn''t wait to see his grandchildren.


    Yu Long peeked at the sleeping Feng Xue''er and sighed because she had such a peaceful face, "Very well."


    He bowed to Feng Hengkong and Feng Tianwei.


    "Please treat me well, father-inw, grandfather-inw."


    "Good, good!" Feng Tianweiughed, walking to Yu Long and patting his shoulder with overwhelming emotion. Despite his age, his current smile could easily blind a person.


    "You can call me Grandpa Tianwei from now on."


    Feng Hengkong also joyouslyughed, "You can also call me Father."


    "We are not close enough for that, but we can start with wines." Yu Long politely responded.


    "Hahaha, waitress. Bring your finest wine!" Feng Hengkongughed and flicked his sleeve.


    He and Feng Tianwei then dragged Yu Long back to the pavilion, making him drink through jugs of wine. Xu Nannan also joined and turned the mood into a rare joyous asion.


    ...


    The next day.


    News about Princess Snow''s engagement with Yu Long was ''suddenly'' spread all over the Profound Sky Continent. Many were shocked by this sudden event and alliance.


    The reaction of Four Great Sacred Grounds was interesting as they didn''t have much to say about it. However, they sent spies like no tomorrow to the Divine Phoenix City.


    The same goes for other nations. They were shocked and immediately sent congrattory gifts to the Divine Phoenix Empire''s front door.


    However, this engagement is actually a sign of a new era. It''s just that not many people realized it.


    Divine Phoenix Pce.


    On a balcony, shirtless Yu Long rubbed his forehead due to the terrible hangover. Although he was immune to myriad forms of toxins, the amount of alcohol he drank yesterday was a little too much.


    As the saying goes, an excessive amount of things is always dangerous.


    Yu Long could remove the alcohol from his body, but it was no ordinary alcohol. Feng Tianwei and Feng Hengkong treated him to an ''extremely'' rare wine called Bloody Fire Mary.


    It would be a waste to nullify the poison because each shot nourished his blood.


    "Big Brother Yu Long, are you there?" Feng Xue''er entered his room but couldn''t find him anywhere.


    Yu Long smiled and entered the room, "I''m here."


    "Do you need something, Xue''er?"


    Feng Xue''er blushed hard upon seeing Yu Long''s naked upper body and stuttered, "A-Actually Xue''er wants..."

    --- Chapter 204 ---


    [Domain Expansion - Purple Heaven Star''s Brilliance]


    <strong>Thump!</strong>


    <strong>Thump!</strong>


    The audible sound of a heartbeat echoed in the Moon ughter Devil Nest. At the same time, white smoke also materialized out of thin air, pushing the surrounding ck mists away.


    <strong>Sizzle~!</strong>


    <strong>Sizzle~!</strong>As the temperature rose drastically, the air was sizzling. A violet-colored pir burst out and smashed the confine of ck mist away.


    The crowd of ck clouds in the sky scattered like crumbling biscuits and revealed a gigantic purple-gold star.


    BOOM!


    The purple-gold star emitted terrifying heat and deterrence force simr to a primordial star, which caused the Moon ughter Devil Sovereign to be a wet dog due to excessive sweating.


    Reality seemed to warp around the existence of this purple-gold star, and everything within its presence would burn at the slightest movement.


    Its fiery presence is mocking the Lightless Eternal Night that the Moon ughter Devil Sovereign released earlier. That domain is not worthy to be called a domain. Meanwhile, this purple-gold star is the definition of a primordial force beyond the realm of gods.


    Panic struck the Moon ughter Devil Sovereign''s heart because this is not even a True God can do.


    No, even facing the Evil God and other primordial existence had never made him feel this afraid. After all, the Moon ughter Devil Sovereign has a strong and prideful personality.


    Yet today, a young mortal made him fear death.


    Under the gigantic purple-gold star, a white-haired young man stared at the Moon ughter Devil Sovereign. His purple-golden eyes mockingly locked on the Devil like he was prey.


    ZoOM~!


    The Moon ughter Devil Sovereign''s eyes rapidly dted because Yu Long abruptly appeared before him. The sight of a white-haired young man throwing a punch filled his vision.


    ''So fast-!'' The Moon ughter Devil Sovereign couldn''t even finish his thought before his face got swatted by Yu Long.


    BOOOOOOOOOOOM!!


    Half of the Moon ughter Devil Nest disappeared from the Blue Pole Star.


    At the same time, one hundred meters tall tsunami rose because of Yu Long''s punch shockwave.


    The Moon ughter Devil Sovereign flew like a broken kite and spurted a mouthful of blood. His body felt like a cracked nut that barely held itself.


    When the Moon ughter Devil Sovereign reorganized his mind, Yu Long already appeared above him and kicked him down.


    BAM! BOM!!


    The Moon ughter Devil Sovereign let out a painful roar.


    "AAAARRGHHHH!"


    Light is the very nemesis of Darkness.


    And the Devil Race is born from Primal Chaos''s Darkness.


    Yu Long''s casual attack is a hundred thousand, if not a million times more painful and effective against the Moon ughter Devil Sovereign than before.


    ''This is getting boring.'' Yu Long thought while taking a nce at the Moon ughter Devil Nest.


    ''Are you really not going to make a move?''


    After saying that in his mind, Yu Long suddenly felt immense Yin Energy burst out from the depth of Moon ughter Devil Nest and rushed toward the ocean.


    ''Haha, I knew it.'' Heughed inside.


    ''You wouldn''t let your puppet-like host die so easily.''


    BANG!


    The Moon ughter Devil Sovereign felt a surge of energy inside his body, and all his injuries healed instantly. He stood there at the bottom of the ocean andughed happily.


    "Yes, this is my power!"


    "My power is finally back!"


    "Hehe, you mortal bastard, I kill you. No, I will slowly rip your body and soul apart!" With that in mind, the Moon ughter Devil Sovereign pushed the seawater around him with a field of Darkness.


    All the dark mist concentrated to a single point, and the Moon ughter Devil Sovereign inhaled it into his body. Like a crack addict, euphoria hit him hard, and his cultivation base broke through one after another.


    Peak Sovereign Profound Realm.


    Divine Origin Realm.


    Divine Soul Realm.


    Divine Tribtion Realm.


    And finally, Divine Spirit Realm!


    If Yu Long is like a bright star, then the Moon ughter Devil Sovereign is the abyss. In fact, the Moon ughter Devil Sovereign looks like he was getting injected with chicken''s blood.


    Unfortunately, there is a limit on how much the Moon ughter Devil Sovereign could recover his strength. Even with Primordial Yin(Darkness), he couldn''t reach the Divine King Realm.


    Yes, this is not even 5% of his true strength.


    But it should be enough to beat Yu Long, or so he thought when feeling this change.


    The Moon ughter Devil Sovereign is petty.


    He purposely used his extreme speed and appeared before Yu Long''s eyes, replicating his punch and everything earlier.


    However, he was too naive to think a mere Divine Spirit Realm could contend against Yu Long.


    Yu Long''s body moved instinctively as the punch missed his head. In return, he also punched the Moon ughter Devil Sovereign''s face.


    BAM!


    "What?" Said the Moon ughter Devil Sovereign with searing pain on his face.


    Yu Long didn''t stop andunched a barrage of punches at the Moon ughter Devil Sovereign''s body. Each attack strikes the vital area, absorbing the influence of Primordial Yin(Darkness) from his body.


    The Moon ughter Devil Sovereign felt his strength weakened again, and his cultivation base even dropped to the Divine Tribtion Realm.


    On the other hand, Yu Long refined the Primordial Yin(Darkness) with the help of [Art of Ghost] and even reached a higher mastery.


    BAM!


    BAM!


    BAM!


    Helplessness swallowed the Moon ughter Devil Sovereign.


    His soul shuddered because of the suffering he had gone through.


    It''s not just because of Yu Long. But also the hateful, Evil God who sealed him on that ind.


    Waaa~!


    Waaa~!


    Waaa~!


    An innocent baby''sughter filled the Moon ughter Devil Sovereign''s mind as he roared and burst out with another supply of Primordial Yin(Darkness).


    No, it''s just Primordial Yin(Darkness).


    The Moon ughter Devil Sovereign is also filled with negative energy right now. His dark gray eyes are crying blood and shine with pure devastation.


    Waaa!


    Waaa!


    The baby''sughter bes cries, intensifying the negative energy inside the Moon ughter Devil Sovereign.


    "You actually resist such an annoying cry for years." Yu Longmented casually.


    "Back then, I couldn''t stand a baby crying in the airne. And that onlysts for hours."


    "Such a nightmare. I guess I have to give you a thumbs-up for that."


    "Y-You, are you saying that my father lost his mind?" A trembling voicees from the Primordial Sin Divine Sword.


    Yu Long nced at the silverish-ck sword and replied, "What else? It is pretty clear to me from how he acts."


    "..." Devil Prince stayed quiet.


    He looked at the pitiful sight of his once King of the Eternal Night Devil n and gritted his teeth.


    "M-Mortal, you must have a way to help my father, right?"


    "Well, I do have some tricks." Yu Long answered casually. "But I don''t think it''s going to be effective."


    "Your father is far gone into the abyss."


    "Not to mention, the current era couldn''t sustain his True Devil''s existence."


    "What''s the matter? Do you want me to help your father?" Yu Long smiled in amusement.


    "I... Please, save my father." The Devil Prince was flustered.


    "I beg you."


    "If you save my father, I''m willing to be your ve. No, I''m willing to be your loyal dog!"


    Yu Long was stunned by his request beforeughing loudly.


    "Hahaha, is this considered filial to your parents?"


    "I guess even the Devil Race has such a concept."


    "Very well, having a Devil as my dog doesn''t sound bad." Yu Long raised his right arm. Azure lotus with a tangling silver roots tattoo appeared and lit up on his skin.


    At the Divine Phoenix Pce, Ling Zhiyun stood up and heard a call from Yu Long. There is a hint of excitement in her white-blue eyes.


    "Master is calling for me~!"


    The Devil Prince inside the Primordial Sin Divine Sword was nervous as his father would definitely attack anytime soon. He couldn''t bear to watch, but this is father.


    A sharp aura sliced through the air, and a majestic azure-colored sword with a lotus-shaped guard and ck hilt manifested.


    "This..." The Devil Prince was shocked. "This presence, there is no mistake. This sword is the Sword Spirit God n!"


    "This mortal actually formed with the Sword Spirit God n."


    "And the engravings on the sword actually read..."


    Thud!


    The Devil Prince was scared witless when seeing the engravings on the azure-colored sword.


    "Primal Azure God ying Sword."


    As if sensing Ling Zhiyun''s familiar existence, the negative energy inside The Moon ughter Devil Sovereign rumbled. The feeling the Devil King gives off is simr to that of a mouse meeting a cat.


    Yu Long noticed this and chuckled, "Shizu said that the Sword Spirit God n had a close rtionship with Heaven Punishing Ancestral Sword. Her words really hit the nail, huh?"


    "Right, Evil Infant''s Wheel of Myriad Tribtions?"


    GAAA!


    A baby cry echoed, overpowering Yu Long''s voice.


    The Moon ughter Devil Sovereign kicked the air and arrived under Yu Long''s nose instantly. His arm transformed into a sword-like, attempting to stab his chest.


    ''Hmph! I won''t allow you to harm my master!'' Ling Zhiyun released her sword''s might.


    BAM!


    Light and Darkness intertwined before pushing each other back.


    The Moon ughter Devil Sovereign pushed several meters away.


    Meanwhile, Yu Long caught the Primal Azure God ying Sword''s handle and said calmly, "No, don''t be too hasty, Zhiyun."


    "Let him attack me."


    "I hear my master''s order." The azure sword happily agreed.


    "AGAIN!" The Moon ughter Devil Sovereign made another move and surrounded the area with his domain again. This time, the domain even swallowed Yu Long''s domain.


    Yu Long''s purple-golden eyes calmly observed the iing Devil King and sighed, "Losing your rationality weakens you."


    "How boring."


    SHIIIING~!


    Yu Long drew the Primal Azure God ying Sword and erupted with purple-azure brilliance. This side of the was ''thoroughly'' blinded by such light for a moment.


    [Art of Violet Mist - Cheating on Divine''s Laws]


    "I-Is this something a mortal can do?" Since the Devil Prince stayed inside the Primordial Sin Divine Sword, he could watch everything that happened from a close distance.


    The Devil Prince saw a white-haired young man and his azure sword slice through the Primal Chaos''s fabric of dimension like a hot knife through butter and cut the link between his father and Evil Infant''s Wheel of Myriad Tribtions.


    "He''s much stronger than Gods and Devil Emperors."


    "No, I should call him my lord from now on..." A sense of pride ignited inside the Devil Prince''s heart.


    "For me to serve such a lord..."


    "Hahaha, My Lord is much stronger than those pesky GODS!"

    Chapter 225: The Most Mind-Numbing Descendant, Alternative Choice


    I have added this fanfic to my P4treon Page. You can support me and read advanced chapters there. It motivate me to write more chapters for you guys!


    Link: /NineClouds69


    --- Chapter 222 ---


    Yu Long casually whistled as he repaired the damage achieved on the Ancestral Land with Space and Time Aspects. Welp, he didn''t expect the fabric of space and time here to be this fragile.


    No, maybe Yu Long was overestimating his ancestor.


    "All done." Yu Long said while turning around.


    Ye Xiu is still standing with a nk look on his face.


    "Someone, give Ancestor Xiu an ice pack or something!" Yu Long joked, which caused a few people to chuckle.


    Yuyan giggled on the podium andmented, "You shouldn''t tease your ancestor like that, Master.""Just look at him. You could fit an elephant in his open mouth."


    "Still, he probably didn''t expect his descendant to be this broken. Your power exceeds themon sense that even the Primordial Devil had."


    "Aren''t you the same?" Yu Long rolled his eyes.


    Yuyan shed a proud smile and ced her hands on her hips, "I''m used to it already!"


    "I''m not used to it. But I know that my son is awesome." Yu Xin followed with a smile. "Don''t you think so, father?"


    "Yeah..." Ye Sanshan doesn''t have much toment on. When Yu Long pulled Star Annihting Cannon a while ago, he was ''fully'' convinced that his grandson was an irregr existence.


    Seeing Yu Long defeat Ancestor Xiu further solidifies Ye Sanshan''s view of his grandson''s strength.


    Feng Xue''er stared at Yu Long with glittering eyes. After all, her fiance is much stronger than she expected.


    At first, Feng Xue''er thought Yu Long was at the top of the Profound Sky Continent''s pyramid after defeating Pandora, but it seems her view is still too shallow.


    Not to mention, this gave the Phoenix Princess a sense of crisis.


    Even though Feng Xue''er doesn''t know how powerful Xia Qingyue and Cang Yue are, their strength is definitely above her.


    Not only were they more powerful than her, but they also knew her Big Brother Yu Long longer!


    "I must catch up to my seniors." Said the innocent princess with a burning fighting spirit.


    Meanwhile, the most shocked groups are none other than the remaining ancestors.


    "Just what is he?" The Sleepy Queen wasn''t sleepy anymore.


    "His strength is abnormal. He destroyed space and time, then created a void." The Medicine King rubbed his chin in awe.


    "The word ''monster'' isn''t enough to describe his ridiculousness." The Queen of Combat added.


    "No wonder he refused our attempt to make him the savior." The Sea Queen sighed in helplessness.


    "Y-Yes, although his strength isn''t at the True God Realm yet, he''d reach it sooner orter. It''s just a matter of a year or two." The Serpent Queen stuttered.


    "This is my great-grandson... Jeez, I didn''t expect my genes to be this strong!" Atst, Mountain King couldn''t help but feel the younger generation surpassed them too quickly.


    Ye Xiu finally regained hisposure and sighed, "That was scary."


    "That was really scary, I could have died..."


    "I thought you were dead?" Yu Long approached Ye Xiu.


    Ye Xiu shook his head gently, "I''m not. No, to be precise, we didn''t have a physical body."


    Snap!


    Ye Xiu snapped his finger and returned the throne room to its original appearance.


    He sat on his throne and added, "When Strongest Warrior''s descendant died, their soul didn''t wander to the destroyed Well of Samsara and went to the Ancestral Land instead."


    "I make it that way with [Nirvana[, so we could gather enough power here to cultivate the strongest warrior, a savior."


    "Funny enough, you don''t need that energy as you''re strong enough already."


    "Yu Long, you''re really the best of us."


    "I won''t ask much, but can you exin how Profound Aspects work?"


    "I believe that thest spear attack involved three elements, right? Space, time, and darkness?"


    "Can you give me a seat? It will be a long exnation." Yu Long replied with a smile.


    "Sure. You deserve one anyway." Ye Xiuughed wryly. He snapped his finger and created a throne for Yu Long. It was seven meters tall and made of unknown white rocks with humble yet beautiful carvings.


    "Oh, yeah. Make two more for Yuyan and Xue''er." Yu Long added.


    Ye Xiu''s mouth twitched slightly, "You should have told me earlier, but whatever..."


    Snap!


    Two more thrones appeared, albeit less good-looking and smaller than Yu Long''s throne.


    "Sit." Ye Xiu stared at Yuyan and Feng Xue''er.


    Even then, Yuyan and Feng Xue''er didn''t listen to Ye Xiu and waited for Yu Long to sit first. After Yu Long sat down, they finally followed along.


    ''Good girls.'' Yu Xin nodded in satisfaction.


    "..." Ye Xiu and other ancestors.


    Yu Long leaned on the throne and said, "Not bad. Ancestor Xiu actually added temperature adjustment on the throne. It makes sitting for a long time feel much better."


    "No wonder Ancestor Zhuqing could sleep on her throne."


    "Well... That was Zhuqing''s advice." Ye Xiu honestly responded. "She gave me ideas for making things morefortable."


    "Zhuqing''s mindset is unique and creative."


    Yawn~!


    "Nothing special, but can we continue the topic of Profound Aspects already? I''m curious how Yu Long did it."


    The Sleepy Queenined.


    Yu Long chuckled amusingly and started exining more about Profound Aspects. He even told them about Profound Incarnations, which could only appear in the real world upon a certain mastery of Profound Arts/Aspects.


    The ancestors were shocked.


    Yu Long really opened a new world to them.


    He''s not just a glitch in the matrix but also a pioneer.


    In the end, the ancestors could only sigh collectively. They lost this time against a young man who hadn''t reached twenty years old yet.


    Ashamed is the understatement of their feelings.


    "What should we do then?" The Medicine King raised a question.


    "I think all of our efforts were ''literally'' wasted."


    "If Yu Long is already this strong, there is no point in the Strongest Warrior n anymore."


    Yu Long nced at the Medicine King andmented, "Does it have to be someone from our bloodline?"


    "Obviously." The Sea Queen replied. "Without our special physique and bloodline,the energy we umtedis unusable."


    "No, I mean... What if we used someone from a simr branch? Someone with a simr bloodline and malleable physique. For example, the first prince of the Eternal Night Royal Family." Yu Long smirked at them.


    Ye Xiu frowned, "Are you talking about Ye Huang? I''m afraid he already passed away when the Four Great Sacred Grounds attacked the Eternal Night Royal Family."


    "No, he is still alive." Yu Long rebuked.


    "What do you mean?" Ye Xiu and the ancestors were confused.


    Yu Long raised his index finger and continued, "What if I told you the first prince, Ye Huang, is still alive? No, he got reincarnated into a young man of this era."


    "That can''t be..." Ye Xiu mumbled. "Even though the Eternal Night Royal Family has such a technique, the sess rate is less than 0,0001%!"


    "Also, the target''s soul may get injured permanently."


    "Just like me."


    "Exactly, he doesn''t remember his past life at all. He was integrated into his second life, bing a young man named Fen Juechen."


    "Wait, that brat is the first prince''s reincarnation??" Ye Sanshan was speechless.


    "I knew it. Something about Fen Juechen felt familiar."


    "Sanshan, you know the boy?" Mountain King questioned.


    Ye Sanshan responded with an excitedugh, "Of course. I was the one who trained Fen Juechen for a couple of months after Yu Long left him in the Lost Heaven Sect."


    "I didn''t expect him to be our family member, the first prince."


    "If that''s true, we can turn him into the Strongest Warrior." The Queen of Combat crossed her arms. "He might not be as strong as Yu Long, but nothing hurt with this alternative n."


    "A-Agree." The Serpent Queen nodded frantically.


    "Yu Long, you..." Meanwhile, Yu Xin gazed at Yu Long with a realization.


    Yu Long nced at his mother and winked, "Don''t worry. I won''t let Mei go through hardship."


    Technically speaking, Yu Mei, Yu Long''s younger sister, has the most potent potential after Yu Long himself.


    However, Yu Long didn''t want his baby girl to enter this chaotic world yet and firmly believed she must enjoy her childhood fully.


    As a brother, Yu Long must guarantee that.


    When she was old enough, Yu Long would create a tailor-made Profound Art and Legacy for her.


    Yu Long admitted that throwing Fen Juechen under a bus was dirty.


    But, hey. At least Fen Juechen could be stronger like he wanted and save the world alongside Yu Long.


    It is a win-win situation.


    ''Hehe, I hope you''re ready for this, Juechen.'' Yu Long chuckled yfully.


    At Lost Heaven Sect, Fen Juechen sneezed.


    Achooo~!


    "Did someone talk about me?"


    "No, it must be my training that iscking."


    "ORAAA~!" Fen Juechen started doing 100 sit-ups, 100 push-ups, 100 squats, and running 10 kilometers for warm-up.

    Chapter 226: Harem nning and Next Destination


    I have added this fanfic to my P4treon Page. You can support me and read advanced chapters there. It motivate me to write more chapters for you guys!


    Link: /NineClouds69


    --- Chapter 223 ---


    Swoosh!


    Yu Long, Feng Xue''er, Yuyan, Ye Sanshan, Ye Nannan, and Yu Xin returned to the sea cave. After discussing with the ancestors, they agreed and decided to prepare for everything first.


    Ye Sanshan and Ye Nannan would proceed to the Lost Heaven Sect and bring Fen Juechen back to the Ancestral Land in a few days.


    As for Yu Long, he set his eyes on the Illusory Demon Realm.


    Oh, yeah. Yu Long also got some souvenirs from his ancestors.


    Nirvana Essence and Nirvana Subduing Art from Ancestor Xiu.Array and Formation Knowledge from Ancestor Zhiyun.


    Sky Demon''s Medical Sutra and 108 Cold Silver Needles from Ancestor Yaozi.


    A Fist Technique named Exploding Force and Body Metamorphosis Pill from Ancestor Zun''er.


    Surprisingly, Ancestor Shenyi didn''t give Yu Long any technique. Still, she gifted him a dozen Ancient Ice Silk and a massive lump of Deepsea ck Iron.


    On the other hand, Ancestor Wanrong gave him an Inverted Serpent Seal, which could control nearly all snake-type beasts. It also could strengthen them by one level and purify their serpent''s bloodline.


    Yu Long would have never thought the stuttering ancestor had such an ability.


    Heck! She even gave Yu Long a Sovereign-profound Realm Snake Egg with synthesized Devil''s Bloodline.


    The name of the Serpent Queen is not simple. In fact, her ability in the serpent biological field is terrifying.


    Atst, Yu Long''s great-grandfather, Ye Tiannan.


    Yu Long got a Sovereign Profound Weapon, a Runic Mountain Knife, and four ancient bracelets that could restrict his profound strength, physical strength, and even blood energy made by his great-grandfather.


    Overall, the souvenirs are nice. Some didn''t exist in the Divine Realm or Primordial Era of Gods.


    "Okay, we will go to the Lost Heaven Sect." Ye Sanshan held Ye Nannan''s hand.


    "What are you going to next, Xin''er?"


    Yu Xin smiled and answered casually, "I''d return to the Yu n. Yu Mei was still sleeping when the ancestor summoned me. I hope she wasn''t awake by the time I arrived."


    "Yu Mei is hard to console when she''s crying."


    "Okay, then." Ye Sanshan nodded in understanding. He also gets why Yu Long didn''t say anything about Yu Mei when the ancestors scrambled to get an alternative subject into the Strongest Warrior project.


    "See you in a few months." After that, Ye Sanshan and Ye Nannan disappeared into the horizon.


    Yu Xin nced at Yu Long''s girls and yfully invited Feng Xue''er, "Come visit our home sometimes, Xue''er. I''ll introduce you to Yu Long''s father and younger sister."


    "Trust me, they will love your presence."


    "I will, mother-inw..." Feng Xue''er replied with a blush.


    "Such a cute girl." Yu Xin couldn''t help but pinch the phoenix princess''s fair cheek teasingly. "Well, I will be waiting by then."


    Then, Yu Xin turned into a corrupted light and vanished from the spot.


    Yu Long watched the dark light prating the azure sky and sighed in hopelessness. "My mother''s corrupted light aspect is so powerful, but she was toozy to develop it."


    "Well, it''s not like I can force her."


    "Even then, she already reached the peak of Sovereign Profound Realm and mastered her Profound Art to level fifteen."


    "Aih, if only she put a bit more effort." Yu Long patted his forehead.


    Feng Xue''er blinked in awe, "Woah, Mother-inw was that strong?"


    Yuyan shivered on the side andmented, "Mistress Xin is really terrifying, Xue''er."


    "Don''t look down on her sunny go personality because she was one of the earliest people who got tailor-made Profound Arts from Master. She might bezy, but as Master said earlier, her talent is jaw-dropping."


    "If we used the rule of Eternal Night Royal Family''s Ancestral Land, then Mistress Xin''s title would be the Queen of Twilight."


    "Queen of Twilight..." Feng Xue''er mumbled to herself.


    "That''s the suitable title for her." Yu Long nodded slightly. "But I don''t think she likes to mess around with the higher world."


    "My mother is only a woman who wants to watch her family happy, her kids grow, and marry peacefully."


    "In fact, her greatest wish right now is to hold some grandbabies."


    Feng Xue''er blushed hard, "G-Grandbabies??"


    "I''m not ready for that, but if Big Brother wants to..."


    "Haha, I''m also not ready, Xue''er." Yu Long patted the blushing princess gently. "Let alone marriage. I don''t have enough time to spend with you and the rest of the girls."


    "The cons of having too many women." Yuyan chimed in like an expert.


    "Maybe you should start scheduling how to spend quality time with us, Master."


    "I will think about it." Yu Long doesn''t deny Yuyan''s advice. They left the beach resort and went to the Divine Phoenix Empire.


    ...


    On the way to the Divine Phoenix Empire, Yu Long forgets to mention the Primordial Sin Divine Sword to the ancestors. Well, they never asked for it, so nothing horrible should happen.


    Right? Yu Long shrugged and arrived at the Divine Phoenix Pce after a few minutes.


    To his surprise, the girls are having dinner with each other.


    Including Mu Bingyun, Mu Xian, and Yona(Xuanyuan Yufeng).


    The sheer amount of beauty sitting around the dining table is mouth-watering. No, even looking at gathering at the table is enough to satisfy any ''normal'' man.


    Deep inside, Yu Long was satisfied with his second life.


    He doesn''tck anything.


    Rich, honor, glory, power, and beauty, you name it. Yet Yu Long is still thinking about how to make the lives of people around him much better than the current.


    As they ate dinner, Yu Long exined his n for the Illusory Demon Realm. Everyone supported him, but some of them unfortunately had to stay in the Profound Sky Continent.


    If something like Pandora ever happened again, Xia Qingyue, Cang Yue, Lily, and Hong Guan agreed to stay on the Profound Sky Continent and monitor everything here.


    Not to mention, Xia Qingyue and Cang Yue must break into the Divine Origin Realm first. They needed to enter seclusion.


    Su Ling''er missed her mother, Su Meiling.


    With that mindset, Shizu decided that her disciple must visit her disciple and train in the Azure Cloud Continent. Of course, Ni Yeyue, Ni Wanhu, and Ling Zhiyun followed them along.


    Mu Bingyun and Mu Xian instantly decided to follow Shizu, though they wanted Yu Long to bring them to the Illusory Demon Realm with those pleading eyes.


    Apparently, they must learn Shizu''s Heavenly Maid Art first.


    Yeah, that was nonsense.


    Then, Feng Xue''er gave Yu Long a surprising answer.


    At first, Feng Xue''er wanted to explore the Illusory Demon Realm with Yu Long, but she abruptly decided to raise her cultivation first. She even asked Yuyan to train her like it was hell for her.


    And Yuyan could only agree to her disciple''s pleas. So, they stayed behind at the Divine Phoenix Pce.


    It left Yu Long with Chu Yueli, Chu Yuechan, and Yona. Four of them would go to the Illusory Demon Realm tomorrow.


    This line-up is amusingly ironic as Chu Yuechan and Xuanyuan Yufeng''s rtionship in the original story is akin to oil and water. At least Xuanyuan Yufeng or Yona didn''t die in this changed world.


    After dinner, everyone went to their rooms except Xia Qingyue, Cang Yue, Feng Xue''er, and Yuyan. They wanted to sleep with Yu Long tonight because they hadn''t seen him for two or three weeks.


    Of course, not the lewd kind of sleep.


    Feng Xue''er is still too inexperienced.


    In the end, five of them sleep on the king-sized bed. Yu Long had Cang Yue and Xia Qingyue on each side, Feng Xue''er on his chest, and Yuyan on the bottom.


    The perverted phoenix''s breathing is heavy when hugging Yu Long''s thighs, and he can''t do anything about it. It was a rare asion for Yuyan, and she loved it!


    ...


    The next day, Yu Long yawned and walked the Primordial Profound Ark with Chu Yuechan, Chu Yueli, and Yona. He just had breakfast and said farewell to everyone, but seemingly forgetting something or someone.


    "BRAT WITH SURNAME YU! HOW DARE YOU GO TO THE ILLUSORY DEMON REALM WITHOUT BRINGING THIS DEMON KING!!" A furious shoutes from behind.


    "I was busy and almost forgot our deal, Elder Canghai." Yu Long put on an innocent expression. "But trust me, it wasn''t intentional."


    Yun Canghai ran toward Yu Long and responded, "Damn you, like I would believe your nonsense again."


    "You almost left me behind at the Divine Phoenix Pce."


    "Anyway, let''s take off immediately."


    Yu Long smiled, "Sure."


    "But we must fetch your family member on the way first."


    "My family member? Did I have any on the Profound Sky Continent?" Yun Canghai frowned at him.


    "Yes. It''s your grandson." Yu Long casually dropped a bomb of fact.


    "Hehe, I actually forgot to tell you about his existence."


    "..." Yun Canghai.

    --- Chapter 224 ---


    Floating Cloud City.


    An invisible flying vessel arrived above Floating Cloud City, but ordinary people couldn''t see it because of the camouge array. Five immortal-like experts descended from the sky andnded near a blueke.


    "Welp, Master can make someone sulk this much..." Chu Yueli nced at the dark-faced Yun Canghai. The Demon King looks like someone who got his favorite shirt soiled by bird poop.


    Yona checked Yun Canghai quietly, "No, he''s excited."


    "Even though I don''t know why, he was nervous and thrilled inside by a family bond."


    "I''m not!" Yun Canghai tried to deny Yona''s ims."You''re denying it, but we could sense that your heart isn''t so calm," Yona added monotonously.


    "Okay, okay, let the homesick demon grandpa be nervous. It''s been a long time since he met his family member." Yu Long decided to save Yun Canghai from further embarrassment.


    "Hmph!" Yun Canghai grumbled and swayed his head away.


    What a tsundere.


    Chu Yuechan looked around the mountain range andmented, "Is it just me, or the profound energy in the atmosphere is richer here?"


    "Now that you mention it..." Chu Yueli breathed in. "I felt a refreshing feeling with every breath I take."


    "As if someone has ced Profound Gathering Arrays."


    Yu Long smiled and answered their confusion, "Because Ancestral God used to descend here. Her weakened presence changed the leylines of Profound Energy in the area."


    "In fact, Yueli made contact with Shizu before she became mine, no?"


    Chu Yueli recalled her encounter with the maddened Ancestral God and shivered, "Yeah... That was a terrifying experience."


    At the time of Yun Che''s death, Xiao Lingxi cried hysterically and shouted until a powerful spiritual force emanated from her body, sending shivers down Chu Yueli''s spine.


    If Chu Yueli hadn''t gotten any training from Yu Long, she might have died on the spot back then.


    Chu Yuechan tilted her head in a haze because there were many things she didn''t know about her sister and Master. However, she had expected this already.


    They entered the Floating Cloud City and went to the Xiao n.


    To their surprise, Yun Che and Xiao Lingxi left the Floating Cloud City a week ago. Yun Che learned that he wasn''t Xiao Lei''s biological grandson and explored the outside world to find clues about his biological family.


    Yun Canghai gazed at Xiao Lei solemnly and cupped his hand before bowing his body respectfully, "Thank you for taking care of my grandson like a real family member."


    "I can''t imagine the hardship..."


    "It must have been hard for you."


    Xiao Lie''s eyes widened in shock, "A-Are you Xiao Che''s grandfather?"


    "Even though I haven''t met him yet, yes. That young man is indeed my grandson." Yun Canghai nodded in all seriousness.


    "I can vouch for him." Yu Long added casually. "Elder Canghaiwas trappedfor years and only able toe out recently."


    "As for blood connection, Elder Lie should have known that Xiao Che''s father befriended your son. His name is Yun Qinghong from the Yun Family of Illusory Demon Realm."


    "And Yun Qinghong''s father is none other than Elder Canghai."


    "I see..." Elder Lei trusted Yu Long''s words because he had no reason to lie. Not to mention, a well-known young man like Yu Long is known for his straightforward character.


    He nced at Yun Canghai and sighed, "Xiao Che is currently visiting the New Moon City."


    "New Moon City." Yu Long narrowed his eyes. It is like the original plot, but Yun Che didn''t meet Jasmine this time.


    Yu Long wondered if Yun Che could develop into a powerhouse without his protagonist''s buff. Technically speaking, Yun Che''s bloodline and upbringing already gave him a strong aptitude for cultivation.


    As long as Yun Che cultivated diligently, he could reach the Divine King Realm.


    "Elder Canghai, I know you want to repay Elder Lie, but that can wait another time. Well, we must go to the Illusory Demon Realm. Let''s fetch Yun Che in the New Moon City." Yu Long said to Elder Canghai.


    "Understood." Yun Canghai let out a sigh of agreement.


    "Brother Lie, I''d like to enjoysomewine with you, but we must cut our encounter short. After a week or two, I will return and give you one of my prized collections."


    "1,000 years old Maotai sounds good, no?"


    Xiao Lie was stunned by Yun Canghai''s generosity and chuckled, "I would love to have you as my guest, Brother Canghai."


    "When you return, I will prepare some snacks."


    "Haha, good, good."


    Xiao Lie and Yun Canghaiughed. It seems they have reached the same wavelength. No matter how old males are, they can be friends over a simple thing.


    After that, Yu Long and others moved to the New Moon City. Since it was close, they teleported there.


    Yu Long closed his eyes and used bloodline tracking to detect Yun Che''s presence. He frowned because Yun Che was protecting Xiao Lingxi in an alley and surrounded by people.


    And these people don''t look friendly.


    "Three hundred meters. North." Yu Long said while floating to the sky.


    Yun Canghai didn''t even bother to fly and turn into blue lightning.


    Hended on a random building''s rooftop and looked down, seeing a young man with a sense of familiarity, whether it was appearance or bloodline.


    ''So it''s true. I do have a grandson.'' Tears welled up in Yun Canghai''s aged eyes. He got trapped under the god-forsaken sealing formation for years, so seeing a family member makes him feel emotional.


    Then, Yun Canghai''s eyes be cold when he sees some ruffians dare to surround his grandson with ill intentions.


    "I will kill-!" He said with burning murderous intent.


    "No, you don''t." Yu Long forced Yun Canghai to stay.


    "Your grandson is not a bean sprout."


    "He doesn''t need his grandaddy''s help."


    "Don''t you see, he''s trying to protect ady."


    Yun Canghai frowned and looked at the frightened-looking young woman beside his grandson. Although she has no cultivation, her appearance is fair and beautiful.


    Yu Long smiled and added, "If you saved your grandson, he wouldn''t look cool before his damsel."


    "Also, don''t you want to see how talented your grandson was?"


    "He might not be as powerful as me, but he should be decent enough to deal with some hooligans."


    ''What kind of sane person wouldpare a monster like you to other people?'' Yun Canghai snorted at Yu Long''sst remarks.


    Even then, Yun Canghai agreed with Yu Long and decided to watch his grandson''s performance. Chu Yueli, Chu Yuechan, and Yonanded on the nearby rooftop and looked down at their new entertainment.


    ...


    Yun Che and Xiao Lingxi are in a cramped situation.


    They just arrived at the New Moon City yesterday, and some thugs were interested in Xiao Lingxi''s beauty.


    Of course, Yun Che beat them senseless, but who would have thought they''d bring more people to attack them?


    Yun Che''s body flickered with electricity as he moved and pped one of the thugs. A thunderp echoed in the alley, and one thug got sent flying like a ragdoll.


    Bam!


    However, Yun Che also failed to dodge a sneak attack and got punched in the guts.


    Cough!


    Yun Che dramatically coughed blood.


    He wiped his bloodied mouth, "Is this all you can do? Attacking me with numbers?"


    "Fight me one-on-one if you dare!"


    "Fool, why would we do that?" The thugsughed at Yun Che.


    "Just hand over that woman to us, or we will cripple you."


    Yun Che grimaced, "Never! I will protect Little Aunt with everything I have."


    "Xiao Che..." Xiao Ling, the source of this conflict, couldn''t help but cover her mouth. She was ''deeply'' touched by Yun Che''s words.


    "You''re just Nascent Profound Brat. Protect? Howughable." Said the biggest thug who is just 3rd level of True Profound Realm.


    "Take my punch!"


    "FIRE APE FIST!"


    The thug''s fist was ''poorly'' covered by a thinyer of orange me.


    Yun Che gritted his teeth and mumbled, "You left me with no choice."


    The former protagonist stabbed his chest with his own thumb and caused electricity in his body to go berserk. It is a forbidden technique that Yun Che developed after visiting the New Moon City''s library.


    Thunderer''s Impulse!


    It didn''t enhance Yun Che''s cultivation base.


    However, it increases Yun Che''s physical strength, reaction speed, and other enhanced bodily functions.


    Watching the iing attack from the thug, Yun Che focused all his strength on his index finger and shouted, "Thunderlight Beam!"


    Yun Che fired a blueser from his finger and shot the thug''s fist, prating it like a hot knife through butter.


    "ARGH!" The thug roared in pain. Blood sttered everywhere.


    At the same time, Yun Che fired three more bluesers and finished the rest of the thugs. Yet a few secondster, he coughed another mouthful of blood and fell to the ground.


    Swoosh~!


    Someone caught Yun Che before he touched the ground.


    "Good child, you don''t tarnish Yun Family''s name at all." Yun Canghai looked at his fainted grandson with adoration.


    "How was it?" Yu Long asked from the rooftop.


    Yun Canghai grinned and responded boldly, "He''s the best grandson I could wish for!"

    --- Chapter 225 ---


    After fetching Yun Che and Xiao Lingxi, Yu Long summoned the Primordial Profound Ark to the New Moon City and boarded it with others.


    Xiao Lingxi nced at Yu Long and rubbed her thighs nervously, "It''s been a while, Young Master Yu."


    Yu Long smiled at Xiao Lingxi, "Yes, Young Lady Xiao. I see that you have be more beautiful."


    "No way, I''m not beautiful at all." Xiao Lingxi bashfully replied while rubbing her blushing cheeks.


    After asking whether Xiao Lingxi was fine, Yu Long nodded because she hadn''t gotten any scratches on her body. Yun Che protected her well enough.


    "Um, that elder is..." Xiao Lingxi approached Yu Long and moved her gaze to Yun Canghai, who checked Yun Che''s condition.Yu Long shrugged, "He''s Yun Canghai, Yun Che''s biological grandfather."


    "No way!" Xiao Lingxi covered her mouth in disbelief.


    Xiao Lie has told her that Yun Che''s family wasn''t from the Profound Sky Continent. That''s why Xiao Lingxi and Yun Che departed from the Floating Cloud City to find some clues.


    Who would have thought Yun Che''s biological grandfather would find them in the New Moon City instead?


    "Yes, way. How is your grandson''s condition, Elder Canghai?" Yu Long asked the now gentle-looking Demon King.


    Yun Canghai checked Yun Che''s veins and sighed, "He is fine."


    "Just overtaxing his body with lightning energy."


    "Fortunately, he didn''t use too much lightning energy, or else his nerves, veins, and blood vessels would explode. It''s good that he cultivated Lightning-type Profound Art, my Yun Family''s specialty."


    "After he wakes up, I will awaken his bloodline''s power and teach him Yun Family''s Purple Cloud Art."


    "Profound Handle, huh? That''s a neat ability to have." Yu Longmented with a nod.


    "Hmph! My Yun Family''s Profound Handle is more than a neat ability." Yun Canghai snorted. "It is one of the strongest legacies in the Illusory Demon Realm."


    Yu Long smirked at Yun Canghai and returned, "Yeah, sure. You probably didn''t know that your family originated from the upper realm."


    "Hehe, but I won''t tell you about it. You can pay me with something if you want to know."


    "Y-You..." Yun Canghai was speechless.


    Even though Yun Canghai was the patriarch of the Yun Family, their origin was ''conveniently'' shrouded by a mysterious mist. He was always curious about it, but there was no record of even text to satiate his curiosity.


    When Yun Canghai was young, he even asked his great-grandfather about it, but they were clueless.


    Yun Canghai only knew two pieces of information. They came from a faraway ce and were ''purposely'' entrusted to protect the Mirror of Samsara.


    But now Yu Long told Yun Canghai that he knew about their Yun Family''s origin. This golden-eyed young man bes more and more bizarre each day.


    Yu Long ignored the baffled Yun Canghai and controlled the Primordial Profound Ark to teleport. He also didn''t ask Yun Canghai for the Illusory Demon Realm''s location because one of his Kaiju, the Nine-Knot Grim Ichthyosaurus, had reached the said continent.


    ''Oni, give me the coordinates for the Illusory Demon Realm.'' Yu Long said to his Kaiju.


    ''Yes, My Lord.'' The Ichthyosaurus responded with her splendid siren-like voice. ''I''ve been waiting for yourmand for months, hehe~!''


    After getting the location, Yu Long willed the Primordial Profound Ark to move, and the surrounding fabric space weakened around the flying vessel.


    Everyone on the ship felt a weird sensation on their skin before witnessing the Profound Spatial Passage. It was starry blue with a grayish streak.


    ''Space, Sword...'' Chu Yuechan observed the passage and couldn''t help but sit down as she gained an epiphany.


    She ced the Song of Broken Spines on herp and began meditating on the wonder of space.


    "How lucky." Chu Yueli sighed on the side.


    Even though Chu Yuechan wasn''t as strong as Chu Yueli, the former was still a genius and encountered more fortuitous chances.


    There was a hint of jealousy in Chu Yueli''s heart but quickly dispelled by the fact everything was equal in Yu Long''s eyes. Not to mention, Chu Yuechan just started her journey.


    Yu Long ced a barrier around Chu Yuechan so nothing would disturb her epiphany. He blinked, and the Primordial Profound Ark arrived at the edge of a vast new continent.


    BOOM!


    A tall wave collided with the Primordial Profound Ark, revealing a massive creature.


    The Ning-Knot Grim Ichthyosaur is a massive serpentine dragon ted in ck and silver scales. She has gleaming blue eyes, jagged spines, and needle-sharp fangs. Her ded tail is fanned like a fish, shot through with blue veins. She has a crystal-like horn atop her head, shining with a dark hue.


    And this hell of an oceanic beast is Yu Long''s 11th Kaiju.


    "My lord." The Ichthyosaur lowered her head to Yu Long, scaring Xiao Lingxi and Yun Canghai witless.


    "Young Master Yu..." Xiao Lingxi looked at Yu Long in a newfound light.


    Meanwhile, Yun Canghai felt a shiver down his spine because Oni gave him the same feeling as Muzan. A Monster!


    ''Fuck, I didn''t expect this brat to have more monsters like Muzan on his side.'' Yun Canghai cursed in his mind. He still remembers the beating he took from the Scorpion-Tailed Demon King.


    Yu Long rubbed Oni''s head gently, "How have you been, Oni?"


    "Good, my lord." The Ichthyosaur purred. "Although it was somewhat boring, your human subordinates did their job properly."


    "They''d report to me from time to time."


    "In fact, they should send a messenger in a few hours."


    Yun Canghai''s expression paled, "Wait, you have sent your subordinates to the Illusory Demon Realm before consulting with me?"


    Yu Long rolled his eyes and said, "Don''t make it sound like I''m a betrayer."


    "I''ve sent my subordinates far back before I even met you, Elder Canghai."


    "Yueli could back me up on that."


    Chu Yueli nodded and added calmly, "Yes, Master did send two groups of Shadow Agents to Azure Cloud Continent and Illusory Demon Realm before we went to the Heavenly Sword Vi."


    "I believe it was 3-4 months ago."


    "And you didn''t tell me..." Yun Canghai was speechless.


    Yu long shrugged and countered, "Hey, I told my subordinates to find and gather knowledge only. They wouldn''t make any noises in the Illusory Demon Realm because that wasn''t Shadow Realm''s style."


    "Even your Twelve Guardian Families and Little Demon Empress don''t know their existence."


    "Anyway, let''s check out the new continent." Yu Long jumped off the board.


    Everyone watched him falling to the beach and had a wide range of emotions.


    "Ah, Yona. You carried Young Lady Xiao down." His voice echoed from below.


    Yona nced at Xiao Lingxi and nodded, "Understood."


    She grabbed Xiao Ling by the waist and jumped off, making thetter scream in fear.


    "Kyaa!" Xiao Lingxi was frightened. There is a massive difference between teleportation and falling from the sky.


    "Well..." Chu Yueli nced at her meditating older sister and shook her head before following Yu Long''s step.


    Yun Canghai was the only conscious person on the ship. His mouth and eyelids twitched crazily.


    Who knows how deeply Yu Long''s forces have infiltrated the Illusory Demon Realm?


    Yn Canghai couldn''t imagine the Twelve Guardian Families and Little Demon Empress resisting forces like the Lost Heaven Sect and Shadow Realm.


    Heck! Even the Four Great Sacred Grounds were pletely'' wiped out by the Shadow Realm and Lost Heaven Sect. Both forcesbined have over one thousand Monarch-level Experts, not counting monsters like Yu Long and his wives.


    "Damn it!" Yun Canghai underestimated Yu Long''s shrewdness.


    "Sly Little Fox!"


    Yu Long whistled, unaware of Yun Canghai''s mental breakdown, andnded on the beach.


    He breathed in andmented, "Hmm, the profound energy in the atmosphere is better than the Profound Sky Continent."


    "However, the aura of the continent is interesting."


    "The flora and fauna are also much more impressive."


    "Roughly seventy billion in poption..."


    "90% of them are human, demons, and profound beasts."


    "The rest is fairy."


    "Yet they could live together despite the diversity, unlike the Profound Sky Continent''s poption."


    "I must admit that the Demon Emperor was a great leader." He sighed in admiration. "The only problem is the fact he didn''t realize the tumor was growing under this peaceful prosperity."


    "It was big enough to affect the whole continent now."


    "Illusory Demon Realm. It will be an enjoyable little journey."


    Yu Long''s golden eyes shone brightly, "I can''t wait to find more research subjects."

    Chapter 229: Shadow Realm''s Branch, Heavenly Demon Cult

    --- Chapter 226 ---


    Yu Long observed the surroundings with marvel.


    Although the Illusory Demon Realm exists on the same as the Azure Cloud Continent and Profound Sky Continent, this ce has a different atmosphere.


    There are some simrities, but the air, flora, and fauna have mutated prominently.


    "If I started here, I could have recovered from the Kaiju Maker faster." He mumbled out of simple observation.


    "Of course, the Illusion Demon Realm has less God''s Legacy than the Profound Sky Continent and has no Ancient Devil Beasts like the Azure Cloud Continent, but they won by sheer variety."


    Yu Long walked to a coconut tree and tapped it once, which caused a coconut to fall. His strength control is so perfect that only one coconut fell at a time.He cracked the coconut with his finger and tasted the water, "Hmm..."


    "The coconut is sweeter than expected. It also makes me rehydrate faster. There is a subtle hint of profound energy, but it was less than 0,001%."


    "Maybe I should try nting some trees?" Yu Long thoughtfully rubbed his chin.


    "What do you think, Freya?"


    "I think it''s a great idea, Master," Freya answered calmly from the Kaiju World. "After reforming somends and vegetation, I noticed this has immense potential."


    "We can unearth thend beneath the ocean and slowly create a ring of fire to raise life. Making fertilend is easy, but maintaining it is hard, so we could use Pandora''s mutated profound beasts to introduce some head start."


    Yu Long''s mouth twitched, "I''m talking about nting trees on a small scale."


    "Like a garden."


    "Oh?" Freya giggled nervously. She was too ambitious.


    "Then, you can try finding some volcanoes with vast bodies of water nearby."


    "I will handle the rest."


    "What kind of trees do you want to nt, Master?"


    "Fruits." Yu Long replied casually. "If possible, I want apples, pears, oranges, melons, and watermelons."


    Freya noted Yu Long''s order andmented solemnly, "Hmm, give me a few days."


    After that, Freya left the Kaiju World and flew out of the beach.


    Yu Long watched the purplish-green light fleet away to the horizon and shook his head because he hoped Freya didn''t cause trouble for him.


    Chu Yueli and Yonanded near Yu Long, eyeing their surroundings with great interest.In Yona''s right hand is fainted Xiao Lingxi, who looks like someone who just experienced life and death moment.


    "It''s just like the Azure Cloud Continent again." Chu Yueli murmured while crouching on the ground and picking a handful of sand. Each grain felt nice in her hand.


    Yona thew Xiao Lingxi to soft grass, nced at Chu Yueli and also picked a handful of sand. What she did next with it baffled Chu Yueli, though.


    The green-haireddy clenched her hand and turned the sand into molten ss, leaving Chu Yueli speechless. She yed around with the molten ss before making it as dark as ebony night, shaping it into stylish sunsses.


    "Master, for you." Yona cooled the sunsses and handed them to Yu Long.


    "Too much sunlight is not good for your eyes."


    "..." Chu Yueli.


    What the hell?


    Yu Long nced at the sunsses, "Okay..."


    "Thanks, Yona."


    Yona smiled. "Mm."


    Not long after, a bright light greeted Yu Long, and the behemoth that was Nine-Knot Grim Ichthyosaur transformed into her humanoid form. Unlike her seniors and fellow Kaiju, however. Onny didn''t fully transform into a human and has a Kaiju-esque appearance.


    (An: Nine-Knot Grim Ichthyosaur''s name will be Onny from now on)


    Onny stood around 4''11 feet or less than 150 centimeters. She looks like a lithe teenage girl with a tanned physique, wet purple hair, sharp shark-like teeth, and dark draconic scales on her neck and corbone.


    She wore a very exposing dark-blue hakama with a bandage beneath it and short pants, making her look like a delinquent youngdy.


    Yona eyed Onny and mumbled, "Should I wear this kind of clothes too?"


    "No, you don''t." Yu Long could only imagine the disaster if Yona wore something this exposing. Much blood would get shed because of it, especially from the nose.


    Onny sniffed with her little nose and said, "Oh, your people are going to arrive in a few minutes, Master."


    "You can smell them?" Chu Yueli asked curiously.


    Onny nodded and exined, "My nose is a little special. I can smell and remember different scents before storing them at the back of my head."


    "Even if you''re a clone of someone, I can still distinguish the difference between two scents."


    "Onny''s range is over one hundred kilometers." Yu Long chuckled because he made her this way. "She could even smell the chemicalponents in the air to help her with detection."


    "Like a hunting dog?" Yona uttered suddenly.


    "Exactly!" Onny gave Yona a nod. "I''m the best when ites to hunting prey."


    "They are here, by the way."


    Yu Long and others nced back, seeing a group of gray-clothed figures walking from the lush forests. He narrowed his eyes slightly because the embroidery was ''meticulously'' done on the uniform, which caught his attention.


    Made with subtle yet refined red threads, the words<strong>''Heavenly Demon Cult''</strong>are embedded on the back of the gray uniform with a golden underlining.


    The characters are arranged like wings as if signifying that they could soar above gold, that is, heaven.


    The one leading these people is a middle-aged man. He looks over his forties with a tall and refined appearance.


    Even though he wore the gray uniform like any other, his long braided hair, sharp mustache, and beard made him look like someone who was very wise and people wanted to depend on.


    Yu Long recognized the middle-aged man, "Ah, Old Man Fu Zhong!"


    "You''re the one leading this team, huh?"


    "Yes, Lord Shadow." Fu Zhong is one of Shadow Realm''s founders. In fact, he was one of the oldest members, with the age of over eighty-nine.


    "I''ve brought the team to the Illusory Demon Realm and developed the Heavenly Demon Cult as our base here. We have infiltrated all minor and major cities, recruiting natives as our cult members."


    "However, we haven''t touched the Demon Imperial City yet and waited for your order first."


    Yu Long nodded in understanding, "Good."


    "How many members do you guys have right now?"


    Fu Zhong grinned, "One million cult members ready at your service, Lord Shadow."


    "One million? Damn." Yu Long couldn''t believe his ears for a second. One million is a lot of members. Even the Azure Cloud Continent''s branch didn''t have that many members.


    "You didn''t do anything shady... Right, Old Man Fu Zhong?"


    "Hehe, don''t worry." Fu Zhong answered assuringly. "I''m doing everything with enough moral standards."


    "We followed the Shadow Realm''s method and recruited abandoned orphans and castaways in the Illusory Demon Realm. You can''t imagine how many of them are dying every day."


    "The Illusory Demon Realm might look calm on the surface, but greedy people are still fighting under it and causing much misery over a few decades."


    "Anyway, after getting these recruiters. We gave them home, trained them how to survive, and instilled some belief, that''s it."


    "Some belief, huh?" Yu Long snorted, to which Fu Zhong innocently responded by raising his arms in defeat.


    Fu Zhong nced at the people behind him and added, "Yuan Lin,e out."


    "Give Lord Shadow your daily schedule in the Heavenly Demon Cult."


    "Yes, Great Protector!" A young woman walked out of the group and stood before Yu Long.


    Yu Long observed the young woman and found her cute with her bob-cut ck hair, gleaming brown eyes, and round face.


    "Hello, Lord Shadow." The young woman greeted Yu Long with her raspy and determined voice. "My name is Yuan Lin, and I''m Great Protector''s twelfth disciple."


    "Three months ago, I was just a dying member of society and cast aside because of my low upbringing. Let''s not mention my cultivation talents because I''m the lowest talent in my hometown. My appearance is like ugly duckling."


    "No one wants to take me in, not even my parents, as they had to feed my other sisters so they can marry good husbands."


    "However, Great Protector took me in one day."


    "He trained me based on the Shadow Realm''s standard.


    "In the morning, he would give us theoretical knowledge about a wide range of things, starting from the values of money, medicine, and basic understanding of elements."


    "Then, we will do physical training by noon, usually sparring against each other. There is a ranking list in the Heavenly Demon Cult, and I''m currently the 3rd."


    "After that, we will have free time to do anything we want, as long as we don''t do chaos or discriminate against others, until dinner time."


    "Filling our stomach, thest daily task is praying."


    "Praying?" Yu Long raised his brow.


    Yuan Lin gave Yu Long a nod, "We will pray for 15-45 minutes toward you, Lord Shadow, hoping you''d protect us from harm and evil. This practice is mandatory in the Heavenly Demon Cult, and some even prayed for a longer time."


    "Then, we sleep."


    "Rinse and repeat every day~!" She finished with a high-pitched voice.


    Fu Zhong looked at his disciple in satisfaction, "That''s right. Without Lord Shadow, the world would have no light. He''d guide us to the heavenly path and cast others in his mantle of darkness."


    Damn it, Old Man Fu Zhong!


    You have some loose screws in your head!


    "..." Yu Long''s mouth twitched slightly.


    ''I only left you guys for a few months, and you actually built a religion that worshiped me?''

    --- Chapter 227 ---


    Yu Long silently stood on the haul of the Primordial Profound Ark with a dark expression. After learning what Fu Zhong had done, he couldn''t help but feel the cringy method to build a faction was biting him back on the ass.


    What he was afraid of finally came. Yes, a group of his own fanatics.


    Yu Long''s mouth would twitch from time to time because there were one million of the Heavenly Demon Cult''s members who worshiped him like their savior.


    They weren''t wrong in a way because Yu Long was their savior. Yet, Yu Long wasn''t the type of religious person in the first ce, so this change of pace made him feelplicated.


    ''Whatever, I will put these things aside for now.'' Yu Long could only sigh helplessly at himself.


    Chu Yueli is currently talking with Fu Zhong, inquiring about his progress on the Illusory Demon Realm in a more detailed manner.Yun Canghai also talked with one of the natives from the Heavenly Demon Cult, asking about the situation of the Yun Family now. To Yun Canghai''s surprise, his Yun Family is on the verge of destruction.


    After Yun Canghai brought ten elders of his Yun Family to save the Demon Emperor years ago and failed, the Yun Family lost their core power and got resources reduced for losing an important artifact, the Demon Emperor Seal.


    Above all else, they were ''tacitly'' prohibited from entering the Golden Crow Lightning me Valley for one hundred years.


    Yun Canghai clenched his hand so hard to the point blood dripped on the deck when he learned that his son Yun Qinghong and daughter-inw Mu Yurou went to the Profound Sky Continent to exchange HIS LIFE with the Mirror of Samsara but failed again because the Four Great Sacred Grounds probably sabotaged them.


    Yun Canghai wasn''t dumb. He had deduced what happened next.


    Yun Qinghong and Mu Yurou had to flee from the Profound Sky Continent and escape, but Mu Yurou was probably pregnant within that period. They couldn''t bring Yun Che along because the Four Great Sacred Grounds had done something to them.


    It led to a switch between Yun Che and Xiao Lie''s biological grandson.


    "THOSE DAMN SACRED GROUNDS!" Yun Canghai felt his entire blood boil when learning this information.


    "I should have skinned them alive first before killing them all. No, I have to rub their peeled skin with salts first..."


    "Maybe burn them with fire also..."


    Yun Canghai nced at the sleeping Yun Che, who was tended to by Xiao Lingxi, and sighed, "There must be more to it. My Yun Family has contributed a lot more than other Guardian Family."


    "The unfairness we experienced is cruel. The Yun Family was already so vulnerable after losing ten elders and me years ago, but cutting the resources put the younger generation in a hard spot because they couldn''t grow without it."


    "I can even imagine how they protected themselves for thest few decades..."


    "Hmph, someone must have nned this. It must be someone with strength and influence."


    "Demon Emperor''s Death."


    "Little Demon Emperor''s Mysterious Disappearance."


    "My n to save the Demon Emperor was ''obviously'' foiled by the same person. If not, how could those Four Great Sacred Grounds ambush us perfectly?"


    "You''re on the right track, Elder Canghai. However, you should prepare your grandson and yourself to expose the truth." Yu Long suddenlymented, making Yun Canghai''s eyes widen in awe.


    Yun Canghai frowned, "You know something, don''t you?"


    Yu Long gazed down at the Illusory Demon Realm from the Primordial Profound Ark and returned, "Yes."


    "But from the look of your face, you want to find the truth yourself."


    "Of course." Yun Canghai snorted pridefully. He has suffered for too long and does not want Yu Long to meddle with his revenge, though it would be much faster.


    Yu Long respected Yun Canghai''s wishes and shrugged. It shouldn''t be difficult for the Old Fox like Yun Canghai to connect the dots and discover the truth.


    However, Yun Canghai needs someone to back him up.


    Thankfully, Yu Long wasn''t petty and allowed Yun Canghai to ess more resources because he was the assigned representative.


    After flying for thirty minutes, they finally arrived at the in of Solitude, a t and deadnd of over nine hundred thousand kilometers square.


    "in of Solitude, huh?" Yun Canghai said while wrapping his bloody hand with a bandage. He could have consumed some recovery pills to heal, but he wanted to remember the pain.


    This pain will make him remember the despair he endured and fuel his motivation for revenge.


    "This ce used to be a battlefield for the war that Demon Emperor and I fought. However, there is nothing here."


    He nced at Fu Zhong andmented, "I thought you guys were at the same level as the Lost Heaven Sect, so how could you build your base in a shabby ce like this?"


    "Hehe, don''tpare us to the Lost Heaven Sect." Fu Zhong replied with a chuckle. "The Heavenly Demon Cult is more lowkey and tried not to cause too much sensation."


    "Not to mention, we are only to gather information and get as many experimental materials as possible for the Lord Shadow."


    "Also, don''t you think this tnd is the perfect cover for our base?"


    Fu Zhong walked to the tip of Primordial Profound Ark and waved some hand signs to open a formation array. The sky wobbled, revealing and covered by lush trees and a massive pce in the center.


    "This is..." Chu Yueli squinted her eyes.


    "Arge-scale illusion array."


    "No, there is more to it."


    "It is just a cover. That pce is nothing but decoration." Yu Long shook his head at Fu Zhong''s cunningness.


    "The base is underground."


    Fu Zhongughed, "Haha, as expected of Lord Shadow, you caught on pretty quick."


    "We only used the pce to greet our guests."


    "Lord Shadow, you can park the Primordial Profound Ark by that empty area." He added while pointing at the rocky field.


    Yu Long nodded and lowered the massive Primordial Profound Ark to the ground, letting it float a few kilometers high, which surprisingly didn''t cast a shadow over the ground.


    Everyone jumped off the flying vessels and followed Fu Zhong to a natural crack in the ground.


    "Hmm?" Yun Canghai carried his grandson on his shoulder and furrowed his brows. As they walked to the ground, Yun Canghai saw a natural ravine with a running river on the bottom.


    On top of that, Yun Canghai spotted several facilities built on the ravine''s walls. The facility is ''uniquely'' connected by a fifteen-meter-long bridge, and there are so many of them as the ravines stretch over three miles away.


    Yun Canghai''s nose twitched as he detected natural air flow into the ravine.


    "This ce is actually perfect for a hidden base."


    "Mm, that''s why we built the Heavenly Demon Cult here." Fu Zhong kept walking down the stairs. "In fact, we found this ce by ident and had been transforming it months ago."


    "Of course, the key reason is the natural resources."


    "There are Dragon Veins near this ravine, which made this ce firmer than ever. The Dragon Veins also provided the Heavenly Demon Cult with ever-increasing profound energy quality, allowing us to increase our cultivation speed by two if not three times."


    "So, we named this ce Earthly Dragon Enve because of its secluded nature."


    "Amazing!" Yun Canghai hissed. He and the Demon Emperor actually missed such a good ce.


    Unfortunately, Yun Canghai couldn''t regret it because it was Heavenly Demon Cult''s luck and chance to find this ce.


    They arrived before a tall crimson gate and saw ''Heavenly Demon Cult'' written on arge chunk of obsidian stone.


    Fu Zhong slowly opened the gate and revealed a tform with a vast stone-paved field beneath it.


    He bowed to Yu Long, "Lord Shadow, please walk in first."


    Yu Long shrugged and walked toward the tform, overseeing the field below. His eyes widened because over a hundred thousand Heavenly Demon Cult members were doing a horse stance and practicing their punches.


    "HA!" They punched out simultaneously, creating a harmonious echo in the room.


    "Again!" Someone shouted.


    "HA!"


    "Again!"


    "HA!"


    Yu Long was ''actually'' amazed by their coordination and found no fault in their routine. At the same time, the others also arrived at the tform and were stunned by the sight before them.


    Fu Zhong grinned from ear to ear.


    He coughed a few times and shouted, "Ehem, ehem, halt!"


    "Heavenly Demon Cult! Lord Shadow hase to visit us today."


    "Greet our leader and deity!"


    The Heavenly Demon Cult''s members were stunned and gazed up, seeing Yu Long with bright eyes.


    "Wee to Heavenly Demon Cult! Long Live The Heavenly Demon, Lord Shadow!"


    "Wee to Heavenly Demon Cult! Long Live The Heavenly Demon, Lord Shadow!"


    "Wee to Heavenly Demon Cult! Long Live The Heavenly Demon, Lord Shadow!"


    Yu Long felt different when they greeted him like this, ''Well, that was something...''


    ''Maybe this whole cult thing wasn''t as bad as I thought.''

    --- Chapter 228 ---


    Earthly Dragon Enve.


    At the bottom of the Heavenly Demon Cult lies powerful natural resources that weren''t inferior to heaven and earth''s treasure. It might be even more priceless because the Dragon Veins were only born in the right ce and at the proper time.


    Fu Zhong discovered the Dragon Veins while practicing his Profound Art, the Art of Geomancer. In other words, his mastery also revolves around Geomancy or Feng Shui of the surrounding area.


    Of course, you shouldn''t look down on Fu Zhong.


    He was one of the Shadow Realm''s founders.


    He''s not by any means weaker than others.If the leader of Azure Cloud Continent''s branch, Ye Zhi, had ''Weapon Master'' as her code name.


    Then, Fu Zhong also has a code name.


    Earth Burial!


    His code name is simple but has a deadly meaning, which shouldn''t be hard to trante.


    Five people are currently observing the seeming pond of white milk-like substance.


    "So, this is the Dragon Veins, huh?" Chu Yueli looked at the small pond curiously, which was no more than five meters square. "Who would have thought such a small thing could yield tons of pure Natural and Profound Energy?"


    "That''s what''s special about it." Fu Zhong stroked his beard.


    "As long as the doesn''t die, the Dragon Veins will continue to expand and yield more energy. Sooner orter, the Earthly Dragon Enve will be the holynd for cultivation."


    "Dragon Veins'' energy is like raw food. You can consume it, but you might get sick."


    "That''s why we need to refine it first."


    "Even though I have ced several Profound Gathering Array Formations all over the Earthly Dragon Enve, the refined energy is still lower than 30%, which means the rest is ''unfortunately'' wasted."


    Fu Zhong sighed and added, "I''m ashamed to call myself a Formation Master."


    "Stop sugarcoating it. You want my help, right?" Yu Long rolled his eyes at this drama queen.


    "Oh, how can I ask from the lofty Lord Shadow?" Fu Zhong shed a wide smile. "I could only ask for forgiveness for not having enough skill."


    "You''re not fooling anyone, buddy." Yun Canghai was speechless by this fellow.


    As expected, none of Yu Long''s subordinates is normal.


    Yona gazed at the milk-like liquid and dipped her finger before licking it slowly. "Hmm, Master. We need to take a bath here because this milky thing is good for your skin."


    "..." Chu Yueli.


    "..." Fu Zhong.


    "..." Yun Canghai.


    Yu Longughed heartily, "You guys heard her. Making this pond a bath is also a good choice."


    "Actually... It''s a good idea." Fu Zhong said after some consideration. "We can turn your bathwater into holy water-!"


    "Okay, stop there, Fu Zhong! You unhinged foggy!" Yu Long stopped Fu Zhong before he could spout more shits.


    Yun Canghaiughed at Yun Long''s exasperated look. It was rare to see the monster of a kid get flustered like this.


    ''Hahaha, you reap what you sow, Brat!''


    ''Even though Fu Zhong was too much, I could understand where he came from.'' Chu Yueli shook her head helplessly because, from what she knew, Fu Zhong was one of those people Yu Long saved at their dying moment.


    No, it was worse than that.


    In the early days of Shadow Realm, Yu Long visited a war-torn city where corruption dominates. Fu Zhong was just a weak elderly, witnessing the family''s humiliating death at the hands of Earth Profound Realm Expert.


    When Yu Long found and saved Fu Zhong, his wife, kids, and grandkids were ''literally'' mutted in cold blood.


    Of course, Yu Long tried to save them, but his powers were limited at that age, so he could only save his grandkids. Fu Zhong was thankful for it and became fanatical after Yu Long saved his two granddaughters.


    It was such a miraculous sight that changed Fu Zhong''s life forever.


    ''Fu Zhong''s granddaughters are now leading elders of the Lost Heaven Sect. They are famous in the Blue Wind Empire and known fordies of silk and thread.'' Chu Yueli recalled a pair of young women.


    Yu Long waved his hand at Fu Zhong, "Don''t even think about making holy water from my body fluid. That''s disgusting."


    "If I caught or even heard a wind of you doing something shady, I will throw you to Onny''s mouth."


    Fu Zhong shivered at the thought of Yu Long''sst words. How could he not fear the Nine-Knot Grim Ichthyosaurus?


    That monstrous being could literally swallow a mountain whole.


    "Understand?" Yu Long nced at Fu Zhong.


    "I understand..." Fu Zhong put on a bitter look.


    "So, no bath?" Yona was disappointed.


    Yu Long gave Yona a helpless look and replied, "I didn''t say no to the bath, but we should build in another ce, preferably near the Dragon Veins."


    "We can make small channels and dilute the pure energy."


    "But first, I must fix this Profound Gathering Array Formation." He rolled his sleeve and walked to the milky pond.


    Yu Long tapped the ground with his hand, causing several white lines to spread on it like a spider web. Everyone monitored Yu Long reformed the Profound Gathering Array Formation that Fu Zhong painstakingly created and made some adjustments.


    Yun Canghai''s eyes widened in disbelief. He dabbled a little in the field of Array Formation, but what Yu Long did was beyond logic.


    Yu Long used an unknown form, arranging the array nodes to the most efficient locations and connecting them using Dragon Veins'' natural energy lines.


    ''He didn''t just fix the array formation. He made it part of the Dragon Veins and cycled the natural energy, allowing 70% of the raw energy to filter automatically into refined profound energy.'' Yun Canghai was amazed.


    ''But what''s he nning with the rest of the raw energy?''


    ''Don''t tell me...''


    Yu Long eyed the cave wall on the right and flicked his finger, causing a massive chunk of rock to disappear instantly. That''s fifty meters cubic of space, and no quake happened in the process, which left Yun Canghai''s jaws dropped.


    Hot, steaming water burst out from the newly created space, and everyone had simr thoughts.


    "Hot Spring!"


    "How could there be a hot spring here?" Fu Zhong was puzzled. His Geomancy couldn''t detect this natural resource.


    Yu Long snapped his finger again, and the ground sunken down in the newly created space, bing a natural basin with rock formations around it.


    Soon, hot spring water filled the basin.


    "Hmm, let''s mix with the Dragon Veins'' milky water. The hot spring to milky water''s ratio should be 18:2, which is low enough not to make one''s body explode..."


    A small crack appeared near the Dragon Veins, allowing a small amount of raw milky water to flow into the basin.


    "And done." Yu Long raised his hand on the ground and pped once to clean the dust.


    "Master is amazing." Yona praised, though she doesn''t know anything about Array Formation.


    "Mm, he is." Chu Yueli agreed with Yona.


    "I''m ashamed to call myself a Formation Master now..." Fu Zhong sighed because Yu Long had opened his eyes fully.


    Yu Long gave Fu Zhong a weird look andmented, "You can still learn more, Old Man Fu Zhong. Age shouldn''t be a limitation for someone to learn."


    "I willpile a book about array formationter."


    "Thank you, thank you, Lord Shadow!" Fu Zhong couldn''t help but be excited.


    "Don''t overthink it. The book is your reward for doing well in the past months."


    ...


    After that, Yu Long sealed the bathing area because the hot spring has yet to saturate with the Dragon Veins'' raw energy and returned to the Earthly Dragon Enve.


    They had to wait for half a day if they wanted to soak inside the basin.


    Yun Canghai went to his grandson''s room to check his condition and saw him sitting on the bed with Xia Lingxi.


    "Grandson, you have to wake up?" Yun Canghai teared up.


    Yun Che was stunned and awkwardly replied, "Y-You''re my biological grandpa?"


    "Yes, yes! I''m your grandpa!" Yun Canghai excitedly walked to Yun Che.


    "The Demon King, Yun Canghai, is your grandpa."


    "Grandpa..." Yun Che also cried. He finally met his biological family and did not feel abandoned anymore.


    Yu Long leaned on the door frame with Chu Yueli and Yona, smiling at the sight of a heartwarming reunion.


    ''Well, let''s see how the Ex-Protagonist will develop. Hehe, how ironic. I was thinking of making him myckey.''

 Chapter 232: The Ex-Protagonist Actually Want to be My Lackey

    Chapter 232: The Ex-Protagonist Actually Want to be My Lackey


    I have added this fanfic to my P4treon Page. You can support me and read advanced chapters there. It motivate me to write more chapters for you guys!


    Link: /NineClouds69


    --- Chapter 229 ---


    Yu Long left the grandfather-grandson pair alone, ncing at Xiao Lingxi on the side. "Young Lady Xiao, why don''t we leave the Earthly Dragon Enve for a moment and get some fresh air?" He invited her out of politeness.


    Xiao Lingxi gets what Yu Long means. She wasn''t a dense person.


    She nodded at Yu Long before quietly following Yu Long.


    Outside the Earthly Dragon Enve, Xiao Lingxi breathed in and out freely and said, "Haa... That''s much better."


    "I felt like I was going to suffocate underground."


    "Haha, you will get used to it sooner orter." Yu Long chuckled while leaning on a tree."Of course, it would be different if you didn''t want to enter this side of the world. Living a normal life isn''t a bad choice, after all."


    "However, you must be a Profound Practitioner to live a ''normal'' life without problems, Young Lady Xiao. This cruel cultivation world won''t wait for mortals to catch up."


    Xiao Lingxi put on a weak smile, "I''m trying to. Yet my cultivation talent is not good. The saddest part is that I''m only at the 3rd level of Elementary Profound Realm, even after training for a year."


    "Xiao Che has long surpassed me by training for a few months."


    Yu Long narrowed his eyes, "I don''t think so, Young Lady Xiao."


    "You have immense talent."


    Even though Xiao Lingxi has lost her inherent ability and power as the Ancestral God''s Reincarnation, she still possesses the godly Ancestral Sacred Body.


    Well, 5% of the Ancestral Sacred Body at the very minimum. Even then, no one should be more talented than Xiao Lingxi in this era.


    The problem lies within Xiao Lingxi''s profound veins and her profound arts, which weren''tpatible with most cultivation techniques in this era.


    In fact, Yu Long has asked Shizu about this matter once.


    ording to Shizu, Xiao Lingxi has the potential to reach the True God Realm and master the entry-stage Law of Nothingness but would never achieve them in her life unless Yu Long extended an olive branch to her by creating a tailored Profound Art.


    Yes, Yu Long was the key to Xiao Lingxi''s glory.


    "You don''t think so? Haha, thank you for the encouragement." Xiao Lingxi blushed sheepishly. She still remembers the day Yu Long and her met at the Floating Cloud City.


    ''Why are you blushing? Aren''t you supposed to be the final heroine?'' Yu Long was stunned by Xiao Lingxi''s blush. But then he reflected that the protagonist''s status had fallen to his head instead.


    Yu Long hurriedly checked the Karma Threads and sighed in relief as he hadn''t made any connection with Xiao Lingxi.


    He gazed at Xiao Lingxi and said, "Young Lady Xiao. I can make you cultivate better, but you must promise something."


    "You can? Young Master Yu, I will do anything!" Xiao Lingxi was excited.


    Yu Long smiled and patiently continued, "I need to draw a few drops of your blood and some hairs. After that, I will make a brand new Profound Art for you."


    "Does that sound good?"


    Xiao Lingxi''s eyes widened, "B-Blood..."


    "What''s the matter... Are you perhaps afraid?"


    "No. It''s just that no one could make me bleed since I was little."


    "Well, I can. Wait, that sounds wrong for some reason."


    Cough! Cough!


    Yu Long cleared his throat and exined, "I know your body is special, but there is nothing to worry about. I need your consent, and it would be a quick process."


    "T-Then, please. Be gentle, Young Master Yu..." Xiao Lingxi bit her cherry lips.


    Yup, those words would definitely raise some brows.


    Cough! Cough!


    Yu Long coughed even more because Xiao Lingxi made it as if they were going to do something lewd. He shook his head wryly and quickly prickled Xiao Lingxi''s finger while plucking her fine ck hair.


    Sure enough, the small prick on Xiao Lingxi''s finger recovered instantly.


    Yu Long ced her blood and hair inside separate force bubbles, storing them inside the Sky Poison Pearl.


    "Master." Yona suddenly appeared behind Yu Long.


    Yu Long and Xiao Lingxi were startled. Of course, for twopletely different reasons.


    ''Woah, since when did thisdy stand there?'' Xiao Lingxi was puzzled by Yona''s appearance. ''I didn''t notice her at all!''


    Meanwhile, Yu Long was amazed Yona could conceal her presence well enough until three meters away from his detection. She walked into his profound sense domain so casually.


    As if Yonapletely erased her existence.


    Yona pursed her lips and said, "Master, you can draw my blood and get a handful of my hair if you want."


    Yu Long frowned slightly, "Oh, are you eavesdropping on us, Yona? That''s not a very good thing to do."


    "I''m sorry, Master. Please, I also want to start cultivating." Yona bowed on the ground, disregarding that her robe would get dirtied by the soil and mud.


    Yu Long''s mouth twitched, "Okay, okay, get up."


    "I will make a Profound Art for you. Happy now?"


    Yona smiled widely, "Mm."


    ''Whatever.'' Yu Long felt this responsibility over Yona was heavier than expected.


    Chu Yueli jumped out of the crack and shouted, "Master, it''s time for lunch!"


    "Fu Zhong has prepared a feast for you. At the same time, they also have prepared the book record of Heavenly Demon Cult''s activity over the past months."


    "Well, let''s have lunch then." Yu Long nodded with a smile and returned to the Earthly Dragon Enve again.


    As Chu Yueli said, Fu Zhong prepared a festive feast for Yu Long and even threw in some specialties of the Illusory Demon Realm. He really wanted to impress Yu Long.


    Yu Long didn''t mind the feast and enjoyed it, frankly.


    He listened to Fu Zhong''s more detailed report about the Illusory Demon Realm and nodded asionally because the Heavenly Demon Realm was doing well without catching unnecessary attention.


    However, a few points did make Yu Long frown slightly.


    "You also found the Essence Spheres in the Illusory Demon Realm?" Yu Long repeated Fu Zhong''s report.


    Fu Zhong nodded, "The natives of Illusory Demon Realm called it the Demonic Cores."


    "We found the Demonic Cores appearing from sixteen years ago, making the profound beasts mutate into ferocious creatures..."


    "The Heavenly Demon Cult has taken several missions to ughter the mutated profound beasts and find them much more challenging than they should be."


    "In less than two decades, the mutated profound beasts also have given birth to powerful Demonic Beasts at the Sovereign Profound Realm, and people called them Ten Heavenly Kings."


    "Although the Ten Heavenly Kings haven''t made any moves and stayed in their domains because of the Little Demon Empress''s deterrent force, I assume they nned to do something big soon from my observation."


    "Ten Heavenly Kings. They sure like to brag with such names." Yu Long chuckled slightly.


    "Fu Zhong, you mentioned several missions earlier. Do you use the mercenary system in the Heavenly Demon Cult?"


    Fu Zong put on an innocent look, "Lord Shadow, the Heavenly Demon Cult also has to earn a living, or else we wouldn''t be able to feed one million members."


    "When the Heavenly Demon Cult''s disciples go out, they will be mercenaries and help people with money as payment. Trust me, everything is as legal as it can be."


    "This method is also good for disciples to gain experience."


    "We are training warriors, after all. Not a bunch of dolls."


    Yu Long smirked yfully, "Don''t panic like that, Fu Zhong. I''m not mad or anything."


    "Haha..." Fu Zhong chuckled weakly, breaking a cold sweat. He hoped Yu Long was really teasing him and not serious at all.


    Yu Long shook his head, "That''s all?"


    "Yes, that''s all so far. What are we going to do next, Lord Shadow?"


    "What else? Gather more of Illusory Demon Realm''s natural resources and see if we could use them. Don''t think about conquering this continent first because I made a promise with a representative."


    "Representative? That guy named Yun Canghai?" Fu Zhong was speechless.


    "Yup." Yu Long nodded.


    "By the way, he''s here."


    "Damn it, Yu Long!" Yun Canghai entered the dining hall with a swagger.


    "How dare you have a feast without me!"


    Behind Yun Canghai is Yun Che, who looks around the Earthly Dragon Enve with a curious-looking gaze.


    Yu Long shrugged, "You''re busy. I also didn''t have time to see you crying while hugging your grandson."


    Cough!


    ''This bastard!'' Yun Canghai choked on air.


    The Demon King sighed and said, "Yun Che has something to say to you."


    "Oh?" Yu Long nced at Yun Che.


    "Yes." Yun Che felt everyone''s gaze and nervously stepped toward Yu Long.


    "What do you want, Yun Che?"


    Yun Che scratched his cheek and replied, "I have a request."


    "It might be shameless, considering we don''t know much about each other."


    "My memory about you so far only spans when you went to the Xia Mansion and trained Yuanba."


    "Yuanba would call you boss every day and tell me how awesome you are. I was jealous, but then I realized the gap between you and me."


    "Yu Long, you''re an amazing guy. I respect you."


    "So, please¡­ Please teach me how to get stronger!" Yun Che bowed with a perfect 90-degree angle.


    "NO, PLEASE TAKE ME AS YOUR LACKEY!"


    ''Well, well, well...'' Yu Long thought amusingly.


    ''Even the protagonist wants to be myckey.''

 Chapter 233: The Way of Thunderer

    Chapter 233: The Way of Thunderer


    I have added this fanfic to my P4treon Page. You can support me and read advanced chapters there. It motivate me to write more chapters for you guys!


    Link: /NineClouds69


    --- Chapter 230 ---


    Zzt!


    Boom!


    The sound of electricity and thunderps permeated the Earthly Dragon Enve. Two figures danced in the well-lit training cave, shing their steps with flickering cyan and purple light.


    Yun Canghai covered his body with myriad cyan lightning arcs, wielding a sword with his right hand. He shed the air horizontally with a skillful swing, creating a thunderp-like noise.


    Across Yun Canghai, Yun Che is sweating like no tomorrow. His breathing is uneven, but there are simr lightning arcs around his body, and their colors are purple.


    "You possessed the Bloodline of my Yun Family." Yun Canghhai watched his grandson dodging the sword sh. "It means your Profound Way attuned to lightning profound qi like me and the rest of Yun Family.""I''ve also awakened your Profound Handle and discovered you have Purple Profound Handle, which is better than my Cyan Profound Handle by two grades."


    "With it, you can manifest 70% of your power into reality, creating weapons and even invading your enemy''s consciousness."


    "The stronger your imagination, the stronger your projection into reality."


    Yun Canghai stomped the ground and caused a massive rock to bounce out before kicking it to Yun Che, "Got it?"


    Swoosh!


    Watching the iing rock fly at incredible speed and eleration, Yun Che lifted his left hand hurriedly and focused his will on the Profound Handle, shaping it into a spear.


    Crack! Boom!


    A purple spear appeared and pierced the massive rock, breaking into pieces.


    Unknowingly, Yun Canghai appeared behind Yun Che like a ghost and struck him on the back.


    Yun Che felt coldness in his back and cursed, "Shi-!"


    BAM!


    "Toote, you should assess the situation more." Yun Canghai said while mming his fist against his grandson''s back. Call it tough love, but Yun Canghai really needs his grandson to grow stronger quickly.


    Yun Che got sent flying to a cave wall, coughing profusely. He fell to the ground and felt weak all over his body.


    "What did you do to me, Grandpa?"


    "I feel weak..."


    Yun Canghai smirked, "I invaded your profound veins with my Profound Handle and sealed it. You might not notice it, but myst strike hit your pressure point."


    "This is called the Dead Strike Technique within the Yun Family."


    "You must train your dynamic vision using lightning qi to learn the Dead Strike Technique."


    He gave Yun Che a knowing look and patted his own chest, "It would be difficult, but with your grandpa here, there is nothing to be afraid of."


    "Is there a way to unseal the seal?" Yun Che asked while feeling too stuffy in his chest.


    Yun Canghai nodded, "There is."


    "You just need to overwhelm my influence with your Profound Handle."


    "If it is other people outside the family, all they need is to explode their profound energy inside their body, which is very risky and dangerous, sometimes even resulting in death!"


    "Oh, that''s why It''s called Dead Point Technique? Impressive." A few ps of apuse echoed in the cave.


    Yun Canghai''s mouth twitched, "What do you want, Yu Long?"


    "Don''t you see that we are busy training?"


    Yu Long stood on a higher tform and descended, "Training? I thought you guys were ying chase for a moment."


    "Your method is so old school."


    "At this point, Yun Che would only reach the Spirit Profound Realm in a month."


    "You dare look down on me?!" Yun Canghai''s face darkened.


    Yu Long waved his hand, "I''m not looking down on you. I''m looking down on your training method."


    To hell!


    That''s basically the same thing!


    "..." Yun Canghai really wants to strangle this brat to death. Unfortunately, he doesn''t have the power to do so.


    Amused by Yun Canghai''s constipated look, Yun Long chuckled and continued, "I will help you and Yun Che with something."


    "I won''t personally help you with the revenge, but who said I can''t support you guys?"


    "Hehe, do you still remember that copy of Purple Cloud Art you gave me a while ago?"


    Yun Canghai narrowed his eyes and answered slowly, "Yes..."


    "Is something wrong with my Yun Family''s Purple Cloud Art?"


    "Just you know, the Purple Cloud Art is the fundamental Profound Art of my family. We have been perfecting it through generations of usages."


    "Unless the current Yun Family''s Patriarch improved it, the one I give you is the best version of Purple Cloud Art in the world."


    Yu Long nodded, "It is a pretty good Profound Art, I have to admit."


    "Your Yun Family''s foundation is sufficient."


    "The problem is, Purple Cloud Art favors the usage of Profound Handle and your bloodline too much. You''re limiting yourself within a self-created boundary."


    "A Profound Art should grow alongside its practitioner, not limiting it."


    "That''s why I returned the Purple Cloud Art to the original form without the improvements your family unnecessarily added and found something interesting."


    "You can take my action as disrespectful, but in its purest form, the Purple Cloud Art is Divine Art!"


    "I modified the Purple Cloud Art and created a brand new Profound Art with the same principles."


    "Y-You..." Yun Canghai was speechless.


    "OH MY GOD! BOSS, YOU''RE A GOD!" Yun Che finally recovered from his injury and bootlicked over Yu Long''s achievement. He couldn''t help but praise from the deepest part of his heart.


    Yu Long didn''t bother to speak more nonsense and pulled a book from his spatial storage, throwing it to Yun Canghai.


    "Try it. Your pride is high, but take this as my little gift. Think of it as a reward for the Four Great Sacred Grounds'' destruction."


    Yun Canghai snorted and caught the book, "Hmph."


    "W-Who wants this book anyway."


    "..." Yu Long.


    Old fart, don''t act like a tsundere girl.


    It''s disgusting.


    Yun Canghai rubbed the book and read the title, "The Way of Thunderer."


    "Thunderer? As in the god who tamed and wielded thunder? Not a bad name for Profound Art."


    "It sounds menacing and heroic."


    "Let me see..."


    Upon opening the book, Yun Canghai''s focus is ''literally'' drawn into the Way of Thunderer''s depth and profoundness. Yu Long didn''t just make a whole new Profound Art based on the Purple Cloud Art''s purest form.


    He upgraded it!


    The principle of this technique is simple yet strict at the same time.


    Using the Way of Thunderer, one would turn into a living battery of energy charge or pure lightning qi. The pure lightning qi would umte and condense into the lightning core, making one the true Thunderer.


    Yun Canghai sat on the ground and started breathing based on the Way of Thunderer''s method, simr to Purple Cloud Art but with more deep variation.


    Yun Canghai''s profound energy melted in his veins, creating an electric spark that spread all over his body.


    A ''normal'' person would have gotten fried, but Yun Canghai possessed Primordial Devil''s bloodline and Profound Handle. He was immune to immense electric charge, except Lightning Tribtion.


    "Lightning Core..." Yun Canghai slowly flowed the electric spark into his heart.


    Thud! Thud! Thud!


    The drum sounds appear from Yun Canghai''s chest as his heart pounded rapidly.


    "What happens to Gramps?" Yun Che worriedly asks.


    Yu Long crossed his arms and answered, "The Way of Thunderer''s 1st Stage."


    "Drum of Thunderer. One will consense lightning barrier around the heart and be a shield for Thunderer''s heart, preventing any mental technique targeted to one''s heart."


    "At the same time, the Thunderer will also obtain incredible power from theirtent potential, drawing it from their heart and marrow bones."


    ZZZT!


    ZZZT!


    Yun Canghai''s hair stood up, ring with electricity.


    Cyan-colored lightning arcs appeared all over his body.


    His eyes are glowing white, showing no pupils.


    Finally, a thunder-like mark appeared on Yun Canghai''s forehead and lit up with cyan light.


    BOOOOOOM!!


    Yu Longughed, "Hehe, what a goodb rat."


    "The Way of Thunderer is a huge sess."


    "We can start the second step."


    "Yun Che, you''re next."


    "Eh, but Boss..." Yun Che was startled by Yu Long''s wicked expression.


    Yu Long grabbed Yun Che''s shoulders, "Don''t you want to get stronger?"


    "Don''t you want to meet your biological parents faster?"


    "Also, don''t you want to get my approval?" Yu Long picked the Way of Thunderer book and shoved it into Yun Che''s chest, "So take the damn book and train!"


    "O-Okay..." Yun Che nodded weakly.


    Even then, Yu Long''s little speech is very effective because a spark lit up in Yun Che''s eyes.


    Aaaah,it''s so good to havea good and willing rabb.

    I have added this fanfic to my P4treon Page. You can support me and read advanced chapters there. It motivate me to write more chapters for you guys!

    --- Chapter 231 ---


    Rumbles~!


    Rumbles~!


    Thunderclouds surrounded the in of Solitude.


    For anyone else, it was a sign of bad weather.


    However, Yu Long didn''t think so.


    To Yu Long, this bad weather is a chance for him to alleviate his Profound Way. He also nned to use these immense thunderclouds to strengthen Yun Canghai and Yun Che, making them the true Thunderer!Yu Long was on the Primordial Profound Ark, observing Yun Canghai and Yun Che, who were meditating in the eye of this iing thunderstorm.


    With Yu Long on the Primordial Profound Ark are Chu Yueli, Fu Zhong, Yona, and Xiao Lingxi. Chu Yuechan is also on the ship but is still in her epiphany.


    "This will put their willpower to the test." Fu Zhong gazed at the grandpa and grandson pair solemnly.


    "If they couldn''t pass this trial, they are not worthy of Lord Shadow''s approval."


    "What does that mean?" Xiao Lingxi frowned slightly.


    Chu Yueli smiled and answered, "That means Yun Canghai and Yun Che must show their worth. Young Master Yu Long has shown them more kindness than anyone ever be by creating a new Profound Art."


    "Such a thing is like a divine treasure in our organization because Young Master Yu Long didn''t create tailor-made Profofound Art for nothing."


    "However, if they failed, Young Master Yu Long would take the privilege back and deem you unworthy of his work for life."


    Xiao Lingxi and Yona froze on the spot.


    They recalled that Yu Long promised to make them a Profound Art.


    Doesn''t that mean Yu Long would deem them unworthy if they showed no progress?


    No, no, no!


    It is not a good thing.


    Xiao Lingxi clenched her little fist and thought, ''I must train with my heart after Young Master Yu gave me the Profound Art.''


    Meanwhile, Yona also made the same vow with a twist, ''I must train with my heart or Master would abandon me. I can''t betray his expectations.''


    If Yu Long knew what thesedies were thinking, he''dugh because Chu Yueli has the talent to scare people off. Even though it is hard to make Profound Art, it''s up to Yu Long whether he wants to give it or not.


    Yu Long wouldn''t expect much from other people.


    As long as they showed some progress, he''s more than satisfied.


    In fact, Yu Long has this mindset because not everyone can take the same path because everyone is different.


    Yun Canghai and Yun Che trained the Way of Thunderer for two hours, but the former focused more on the strength of thunder while thetter focused more on the swiftness of lightning.


    In Yu Long''s eyes, their branching is an evolution from choice. Unique to themselves, which could be more sample for him.


    Rumble! Kacha!


    In the thunderclouds, everyone could see several serpent-like lightning bolts swim in and out, taunting Yun Canghai and Yun Che.


    Yu Long smirked and shouted at Yun Canghai, "Elder Canghai, the next step of [The Way of Thunderer] is to tame the thunder and lightning energy in a natural setting!"


    "I will control the thunderclouds and charge your body with it."


    "You have three hours. Resist the power of thunder and lightning for three hours, and you will be a Thunderer."


    "Got it?"


    Yun Canghai nced at Yu Long and nodded, "YES!"


    Yun Che also stared at Yu Long, "I''m Ready, Boss!"


    Yu Long snapped his finger, and the thunderclouds rumbled even more.


    Crack! BOOM!


    The sound of thunderps echoed in the in of Solitude.


    A white light descended.


    Yun Canghai and Yun Che couldn''t react as thunderbolts hit them.


    "AARRRGH!" A painful scream escaped Yun Che''s mouth.


    Yun Canghai wasn''t any better, either. He gritted his teeth and let the fierce energy of thunder ransack through his body.


    Yu Long kept sending more thunderbolts, making him look more like a torturer than a trainer.


    Even then, Yu Long didn''t dare to mess up his control over lightning because this kind of power is dangerous with fine control.


    Yun Canghai might be a monarch-level expert at the 8th Level of the Sovereign Profound Realm, but he is still mortal before the power of nature.


    The Demon King could still die from these thunderbolts.


    More so, Yun Che only entered the world of Profound Practitioners recently.


    Even though Yun Che was the protagonist, he lost his protagonist halo and couldn''t survive from sheer plot armor.


    He could have died at any moment if Yu Long hadn''t reduced the power behind these thunderbolts.


    BOOM!


    BOOM!


    BOOM!


    Xiao Lingxi covered her face in fright, "Xiao Che..."


    She couldn''t bear to see Yun Che getting hurt.


    Crackles~!


    Purple sparks areing from Yun Che''s fried body.


    He sighed and breathed in, drawing the power of lightning into his weakened vessel.


    Yu Long raised his brow and watched a pair of lightning wings grow behind Yun Che''s back. Yun Che''s body also changed drastically, bing leaner with sufficient muscle in good spots.


    BOOM!


    On the other hand, Yun Canghai''s clothing exploded and exposed his new muscr physique. Unlike Yun Che, however, Yun Canghai didn''t possess lightning wings but two cyan-colored lightning horns on his forehead.


    "They really took different paths." Yu Long was satisfied.


    "But this is far from over."


    "You guys need to absorb more electricity!"


    And with that in mind, Yu Long kept torture-! Cough, cough, I mean training Yun Canghai and Yun Che by throwing more lightning bolts at them.


    Three hourster, the thunderclouds dispersed because Yu Long had used all the power of nature in them.


    All left were a pair of grandpa-grandson, who had be True Thunderers and were ready for their vengeance!


    Yun Canghai stared at the falling strands of his gray hair, which now had be dark blue with faint electricity. "This power..."


    "I can feel the power of thunder coursing in my veins."


    "One punch, and I should be able to tten a whole mountain."


    "HAHAHA~! I, The Demon King, Yun Canghai, have returned!" Yun Canghaiughed excitedly.


    He nced at Yun Che and asked, "How are you, Che''er?"


    Yun Che yed with his lightning wings, fading and appearing into existence in the air, and smiled, "Felt better than ever, Grandpa."


    "I felt nothing could stop me."


    "Hehe, we will meet your father and mother soon." Yun Canghai said with a grin. "Then, we will show those who bullied our family with this newfound power."


    "Mm!" Yun Che nodded in agreement.


    Yu Long floated toward them andmented, "As much as I wanted to watch that happening, your current bodies aren''t viable to fight."


    "You guys are tired and lose too much vitality from enduring the lightning bolts."


    "For now, take these pills and rest." Yu Long threw a vial of pills to Yun Canghai. "Recover your health. After that, we can talk more about the Way of Thunderer."


    "Okay." Yun Canghai replied calmly. He couldn''t show how thankful he was to Yu Long.


    To be honest, Yun Canghai felt he was indebted to Yu Long.


    "BOSS, YOU''RE THE BEST!" Yun Che gave Yu Long a thumbs up.


    "..." Yun Canghai.


    This grandson of his really doesn''t know how to y cool.


    "We will rest, then." Yun Canghai grabbed Yun Che by the cor and returned to the Earthly Dragon Enve.


    Yu Long shook his head helplessly, "What a tsundere."


    "However, he helped me in improving the [Art of Thunder and Lightning]."


    Yun Canghai and Yun Che don''t know that [The Way of Thunderer] is a safer version of the [Art of Thunder and Lightning] that Yu Long developed for himself.


    "Well, let''s continue to the next problem now..."


    "We have some guests."


    A loud noise came from three directions. It was the sound of something massive charging at the in of Solitude.


    Yu Long calmly ced his hands behind the back and watched three massive beastsing. Behind them are ten, if not a hundred thousand, of profound beasts following.


    Fu Zhong approached Yu Long and said, "Lord Shadow, these strong profound beasts are the Heavenly Kings I mentioned before."


    "They must being here because of themotion we made."


    Yu Long rubbed his chin in amusement, "Let''s see..."


    "A little bird, a little snake, and a little turtle."


    After Yu Long says that, three massive giants overshadow the in of Solitude.


    "Human, hand over the Heaven and Earth Treasures!"


    "OR THERE WOULD BE CONSEQUENCES!"


    Yu Long chuckled, "A, How adorable..."

 Chapter 235: Heavenly Kings? Nope, Youre Still Far From It

    Chapter 235: Heavenly Kings? Nope, You''re Still Far From It


    I have added this fanfic to my P4treon Page. You can support me and read advanced chapters there. It motivate me to write more chapters for you guys!


    Link: /NineClouds69


    --- Chapter 232 ---


    The in of Solitude looks grim.


    Three giants of beasts are currently surrounding the in and closing the area with their beastly subordinates. The sky,nd, and even bodies of water were ''forcibly'' sealed from entry.


    A massive hawk with deep green feathers hovered in the sky and swept the white clouds, looking very menacing with a sharp beak, talons, and piercing yellow eyes. And small whirlwinds abided by this winged beast''s presence.


    On the rocky mountain part below, a white-scaled snake over half a mile wrapped around the hillside and hissed at Yu Long. Its scales absorb the sunlight and make those crimson eyes stand out more.


    A giant turtle with a golden shell stood near theke and covered the area with bubbles. These blue bubbles look harmless at first nce, but none of the hundred thousand profound beasts dares to stay near them, as if they possess unimaginable power.


    Yu Long looked at this and chuckled, "Aww...""Look at them threatening us with their auras and cute growls."


    "How adorable."


    "Eh?" Fu Zhong froze and stared at Yu Long with a helpless look. Only a person like Lord Shadow would call three Heavenly Kings of the Illusory Demon Realm adorable.


    He wryly shook his head and said, "Lord Shadow."


    "I will give you a brief introduction of each Heavenly King.


    "Go on." Yu Long nodded calmly.


    Fu Zhong stared at the green-feathered hawk, "The green hawk is peak Sovereign Profound Beast. Ites from the Ghostly Windhawk species and is known for its speed and control over tempest."


    "She ruled the Heavenly Wind Valley and was known as the Heavenly King of Tempest."


    "The giant white snake on the hillside is also a Sovereign Profound Beast. It said that he was the descendant of the Sr Divine Serpent and known for having vicious Yang Attribute Venom and control over burning sky me."


    "He ruled the Vicious Poison me and was known as the Heavenly King of Burning Venom."


    "Lastly, the oldest and wisest turtle. The Wise Water Turtle is not from any prominent species, but enlightened and became a great beast upon meditating for 10,000 years, bing Sage of Water Beasts."


    "He ruled the Great Northern Pond and was known as the Heavenly King of the North."


    Yu Long burst outughing, "PFFT-!"


    "HAHAHAHA~!"


    "Enlightened? Meditating for 10,000 years? Why don''t you tell me he was Buddha instead..."


    "Old Man Fu Zhong, lying is bad, you know?" Yu Long patted Fu Zhong''s shoulder.


    Fu Zhong scratched his cheek in embarrassment, "I''m just narrating what I''ve heard about them, Lord Shadow. We can''t confirm their origin as the Illusory Demon Realm is a new continent to us."


    "Although some are exaggerated, there is some truth to them."


    "It''s fake." Yu Long didn''t even bother to speak nonsense.


    Unlike Fu Zhong, Yu Long wasn''t blind to the fact these profound beasts had swallowed so many Essence Spheres and mutated beyond the realm of ''ordinary'' beasts.


    What Heavenly Kings?


    They are just Profound Beast with Kaiju''s essence and evolved to a higher form.


    Yu Long likes to see how these so-called Heavenly Kings entertain him.


    "Humans..." Said the green hawk.


    "There are Heaven and Earth phenomena. We will not attack you, but you must hand over the treasure birthed by the phenomenon."


    "Hurry up. This king is hungry." Added the white snake.


    "Or else you will be this king''s food."


    The wise turtleughed gently, "Hohoho, calm down, Tempest, Burning Venom, let the humans talk first."


    "You guys are pressuring them."


    Yu Long smiled at the turtle and answered, "We don''t have such a treasure."


    "Liar!" The white snake was the first to yell at Yu Long.


    Yu Long shrugged, "It''s up to you guys to believe me."


    "In the first ce, there is no heaven and earth phenomenon here."


    "It is just bad weather with stormy thunderstorms."


    "Also... You guys are afraid of the stormy thunderstorms, aren''t you? If not, you will note until the thunderstorm dissipates."


    "HERESY!" The Three Heavenly Kings gazed at Yu Long coldly.


    Heavenly King of Burning Venom had a killing look when Yu Long said they were afraid of the thunderstorm.


    However, it is the truth.


    Even though the ten Heavenly Kings are peak Sovereign Profound Beasts, they are still mortal before the face of natural force, just like Yun Canghai earlier.


    Yu Long mocked them, "You guys are just Profound Beasts who evolved after devouring too many Demonic Cores. You try to hide this fact so there would be nopetition other than the Heavenly King, but you can''t hide from me."


    "You must be feeling bloated right now, right?"


    "You felt every fiber of your body filled with newfound strength..."


    "Yet you felt confused because you felt none of these powers were yours."


    The three Heavenly Kings were ''naturally'' stumped by Yu Long''s words.


    Their eyes widened in shock because Yu Long somehow knew about their secrets.


    "You, little bird, obtained the power of Greenshadow Godly Eagle."


    "As for you, little snake, you obtained the power of Sr Silver Python."


    "Andstly, little turtle, you luckily obtained the power of Oceanic Whale Dragon."


    "What, shocked? Don''t tell me you guys are bragging about your origin, and putting fancy titles over yourself makes you invincible?"


    "What a bunch of clowns." Yu Long shook his head in disappointment.


    "I will kill you!" The Heavenly King of Burning Venomshed. It pounced on Yu Long and sent a stream of purple-colored poison.


    Yu Long lifted his left hand casually and purified the poison on the spot, stunning everyone in the area. Therge mass of poison just disappeared from their vision.


    Gasps escaped the mouth of Profound Beasts above Sky Profound Realm, who had developed sentience as they witnessed their Heavenly King''s poison be useless before this ordinary-looking human.


    "How could this be?"


    "The Burning Venom is... purified?"


    "This human... He''s not an ordinary human!"


    "But howe I''ve never heard of this person before?"


    The Heavenly King of Tempest frowned at Yu Long.


    She felt nothing special about this human, but her instinct screamed not to fight him. Or else she would suffer a fate worse than death.


    The Heavenly King of the North also felt the same.


    It has nothing to do with his survival instinct, but because Yu Long could name the origin of his power, the Oceanic Whale Dragon!


    Such a beast didn''t exist in this world.


    To name Oceanic Whale Dragon means this human knew something about Demonic Cores that they didn''t know. Unknown to the Heavenly King of the North, Yu Long was the maker of Demonic Cores.


    Facing Yu Long is no different than facing the source of their power.


    The Heavenly King of Burning Venom was angered. He hissed at Yu Long and threw several boulders at the sizes of small mountains.


    Yu Long stared at the boulders and pointed his finger at them, "Die."


    cklight gathered into a sphere on Yu Long''s fingertip before exploding into a ray of destruction, erasing the boulders into nothingness.


    [Art of Ghost: Ghost-Killing Ray]


    Yu Long stretched his hand at Fu Zhong, "Old Man Fu Zhong. Lent me a knife."


    "Okay..." Even though Fu Zhong doesn''t know what Yu Long would do, the detail isn''t essential to him. He picked up the standard Shadow Realm''s dagger from his sleeve and handed it to Yu Long.


    Yu Long grabbed the dagger and yed it around his fingers, "Hmm, not bad."


    "Okay,e, little snake."


    "If you can survive my sh, I will let you live for a few more days."


    "..." The Heavenly King of Tempest.


    "..." The Heavenly King of the North.


    "..." Fu Zhong.


    "..." Xiao Lingxi.


    "..." Chu Yueli.


    "Snake deserved to be cut!" Yona nodded in agreement.


    Meanwhile, the Heavenly King of Burning Venom reached the peak anger possible.


    "YOU DAMNED HUMAN!" He roared at Yu Long.


    After roaring, a bright golden light exploded from the Heavenly King of Burning Venom''s body and absorbed all sunlight in the area.


    "GREAT SOLAR EXPLOSION!"


    A white beam exploded and rapidly expanded toward Yu Long.


    Yu Long pointed his dagger casually and said, "Welp, your funeral..."


    <strong>[Art of Ghost: Ghost Emperor''s Dark Dimensional sh!]</strong>


    A ck cloak appeared around Yu Long as he shed his dagger down in the slowest manner. The world simultaneously stopped, making his slow movement faster than even light.


    The white snake''s eyes shrank, ''No....''


    It was toote.


    sh! BOOOOOOOOOOM!!!


    A dark curtain over one mile long manifested by Yu Long''s sh, slicing the Heavenly King of Burning Venom in half.


    One of the Ten Heavenly King has died.


    Yu Long watched the dagger in his hand crumble into dust, "Heavenly King? Nope, You''re still far from it."


    "Mere profound beasts..."


    "You all need to be disciplined like the beasts you are."

 Chapter 236: New Pets and Demonic Cores Origin

    Chapter 236: New Pets and Demonic Cores'' Origin


    I have added this fanfic to my P4treon Page. You can support me and read advanced chapters there. It motivate me to write more chapters for you guys!


    Link: /NineClouds69


    --- Chapter 233 ---


    Yu Long stared at the handful of dust on his palm and blew them away casually. The dust drifted away like ck particles, marking the end of the Heavenly King of Burning Venom.


    Fu Zhong hovered behind Yu Long and watched the ravine created by the sh. He shivered because that wasn''t the power of a man anymore.


    That was the power of a GOD!


    ''As expected of Lord Shadow. He''s our god and savior.'' Fu Zong thought fanatically.


    Yu Long waved his hand, "Sorry, I broke the dagger."


    "I will pay you backter, Old Man Fu Zhong."Fu Zhong shook his head frantically, "No, Lord Shadow."


    "What is mine is yours."


    "It''s just a poor dagger. I can get it anytime in the warehouse."


    "On the contrary, I felt honored that my dagger can be useful for you." He patted his chest proudly.


    Yu Long smiled because Fu Zhong was overthinking things. Besides his body and some Primordial-level weapons, he doesn''t think any ordinary tool could withstand his power. The problem lies within [Art of Ghost]''s nature, a dark element that devours and consumes energy.


    Well, the misunderstanding already happened.


    Yu Long nced at the Heavenly King of Tempest and Heavenly King of the North, "What should I do with you two?"


    "I''m nning to put you in ce."


    "But that would be bullying..."


    "Bullying is bad, right? Old Man Fu Zhong?" Yu Long asked with a teasing voice.


    Fu Zhong grinned, "Of course, Lord Shadow."


    "Still, I think bullying is sometimes necessary because some people dare to challenge your order."


    Heavenly King of Tempest and Heavenly King of the North shivered upon hearing Fu Zhong''s words. They have a horrible feeling about this.


    Yu Long nodded and said, "Very well, then."


    "Hey, Little Bird and Little Turtle."


    "I will give you a chance like the one I gave to Little Snake."


    "Take one of my attacks. And if you are alive, you can go."


    The Heavenly King of Tempest panicked, "No, no, no..."


    "Mister, you must be joking."


    "We are justing here to enjoy the weather."


    "Haha..."


    The Heavenly King of the North coughed, "Yes, please don''t take your anger on us."


    "Burning Venom''s action has nothing to do with us."


    "He''s just a fool."


    Yu Long tilted his head and asked, "Is that so?"


    "Yes!" 2x.


    The two Heavenly Kings couldn''t help but swallow their saliva.


    To them, Yu Long currently looks and feels like the tallest mountain they couldn''t cover. No matter how high they flew or how deep they dug, they wouldn''t be able to pass it.


    Yu Long has reason to fight the Heavenly Kings. He wanted to test and see whether the Essence Spheres'' influence in their evolution was subpar to the Kaiju evolution.


    He has seen cases like Freya and Yona, but pure Profound Beasts who evolved with Essense Sphere are ''fundamentally'' different.


    Yu Long grabbed his index finger and pulled a ck-gold finger bone due to the Great Way of Buddha, which slowly reformed into a one-ded knife through Bone Maniption.


    Looking at the dark golden bone knife, Fu Zhong was shocked.


    Fu Zhong could feel an immense power from it.


    Yu Long shook his finger a few times, and new finger bones regenerated, filling up his skin. He tested the bone knife by shing the air and nodded in satisfaction. As expected, the best material to withstand Yu Long''s power was ''naturally'' his body.


    The Heavenly King of Tempest and Heavenly King of the North stared at the small bone knife with a grimace.


    It was such a small knife, many times smaller than their own gigantic bodies, yet they could feel the dread of Grim Reaper''s scythe from it.


    They wanted to run but felt the same fate that the Heavenly King of Burning Venom experienced would fall on them, too.


    The Heavenly King of Tempest cked her beak. She knew there was no other choice than to fight. She nced at the Heavenly King of the North and thought this old turtle should have the same realization.


    They nced at each other and nodded.


    Since they can''t run, they must attack first.


    Yu Long watched countless tornados and water bubbles appearing in the in of Solitude. He smirked because he was very familiar with this sight.


    "How nostalgic."


    "Given ten more years, they should be able to fuse with the Mutated Beast''s bloodline and be Divine Beasts."


    "Unfortunately, time is not waiting for everyone, including me."


    Yu Long raised the bone knife and added, "Let''s see if my hunting skill is rusty..."


    [Art of Thunder and Lightning - 1st Stage: Drum of Liberation]


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The sound of thunderps echoed in the in.


    Everyone watched Yu Long disappear from his position and suddenly appear before the tornados and bubbles.


    He was moving too fast for their senses to grasp. Even the Heavenly Kings, who had developed some degree of Divine Sense, couldn''t catch Yu Long''s movement.


    "Just like Thunderstrike..." Chu Yuelimented while standing on the edge of Primordial Profound Ark. "You only a flicker of light before the drumming sounds of thunder emerge."


    "Is this the real form of [The Way of Thunderer]?"


    "Amazing." Yona''s eyes gleamed in awe.


    "Is he going to be fine?" Xiao Lingxi asked, looking at Yu Long''s lone figure worriedly.


    Chu Yueli smiled and confidently answered, "Even if the Blue Pole Star crumbled, Master will survive."


    "Just look."


    Yu Long gathered the power of electricity in his bone knife and swung it at the iing storm.


    [Art of Thunder and Lightning - 2nd Stage: Lightning Cutter]


    SHIIIIIING!


    An extreme sharpness and fierce golden electricity sliced through all tornadoes and water bubbles.


    "No way!" The Heavenly King of Tempest''s eyes widened in shock.


    "Shit!" The Heavenly King of the North cursed.


    Both Heavenly Kings knew they weren''t weak. If not, they wouldn''t be known as Heavenly Kings.


    They aren''t weak, Yu Long is just too goddamn STRONG!


    Yu Long hovered in the air and froze, "Ah, that would be one attack."


    "I only have one attack left."


    "Hmm, let''s see if I can hit them with one attack."


    [Art of Thunder and Lightning - 3rd Stage: Thunder Conqueror]


    Swoosh!


    A gigantic, massive avatar appeared behind Yu Long, wielding a goldennce of pure electricity.


    "..." Heavenly King of Tempest.


    "..." Heavenly King of the North.


    As Yu Long waved his bone knife, the avatar swung its intimidating goldennce, drawing stormy force toward the Heavenly Kings.


    The Heavenly King of Tempest and Heavenly King of the North nced at each other again. They nodded in determination and charged at Yu Long fearlessly.


    Yu Long grinned in anticipation, but the reality is often disappointing.


    "GOD MASTER, PLEASE SPARE OUR LOWLY LIVES!" Both Heavenly Kings kneeled before Yu Long.


    Although Yu Long is just a minuscule-looking human, both gigantic beasts still show extreme fear while bowing on the ground.


    "..." Yu Long looked down speechlessly.


    Oy, where is your little pride?


    I''m just ying around for a bit, and you surrendered already?


    Yu Long snapped his finger, and the avatar behind him stopped its goldennce from killing the Heavenly Kings.


    He sighed, "I will spare your lives."


    "But you have to answer a few questions first."


    "Please ask anything, God Master!" The Heavenly Kings answered simultaneously. "We, lowly beasts, would answer with the best of our ability!"


    Yu Long stared at them and fired the first question, "Where did you get Essence-! I mean, Demonic Cores?"


    "This..." The Heavenly Kings put on a solemn expression.


    "What''s the matter? You don''t want me to spare your lives?"


    "No, we will answer. Please don''t kill us!"


    The Heavenly King of the North buried his face in the ground fearfully and answered with a muffled voice, "We usually fished the Demonic Cores from Star River."


    "Star River?" Yu Long frowned slightly.


    The Heavenly King of Tempest nodded like a chicken and continued, "Star River is an area in the Illusory Demon Realm. It originated from the Dead Star Lake, a forbidden area. These flowing bodies of water are ''directly'' connected to another dimension."


    "And these flowing waters is Star River."


    "We used our Profound Energy to fish Demonic Cores from Star River."


    "Oh?" Yu Long''s interest was ''instantly'' piqued.


    "Old Man Fu Zhong, do you know about these Dead Star Lake and Star River?"


    Fu Zhong scrunched his face, "I''m afraid not, Lord Shadow."


    The Heavenly Kings hurriedly added, "God Master, you must possess a key to ess this secret area. An outsider wouldn''t know because only Heavenly Kings have it."


    "It is our secret."


    "I see..." Yu Long rubbed his chin. "Fine, I will spare your low lives."


    "My little sister need some new pets anyway."


    "I will call you guys Little Bird and Little Turtle from now on."


    "Thank you, thank you, God Master!" The Heavenly Kings didn''t dare to think about being humiliated by such nicknames. Their lives are worth more than pet names.

    --- Chapter 234 ---


    Yu Long slowly nced down at the Heavenly King of Burning Venom''s sliced corpse and extracted the essence. He couldn''t let rare, evolved essence go to waste.


    Sovereign Profound Beasts, who had yet to form Divine Sense, couldn''t see what Yu Long had done to Burning Venom''s body. Yet, the Heavenly King of Tempest and Heavenly King of the North froze upon seeing white and red particles gather into a pinkish sphere on Yu Long''s palm.


    It was like a feverish dream to them.


    However, they knew they were in reality.


    ''Did he just...'' The Heavenly King of Tempest shivered.


    ''Demonic Core!'' The Heavenly King of the North felt his body fall into a coldke.Never in their wildest thought had they ever imagined the strong human who tamed them could create the Demonic Core, something Ten Heavenly Kings fought over for thest sixteen years.


    No wonder.


    No wonder this human is so abnormal.


    The power he wields is unlike any other humans they ever faced.


    Yu Long stared at the pinkish marble and ate it, feeling the information of Burning Venoming flow into his head.


    <strong>Sunlight Incarnation (A) Acquired.</strong>


    <strong>Burning Venom Snake''s Physique (S) Acquired.</strong>


    Yu Long ignored the ringing noises because these abilities weren''t good enough for him. They might be able to put the Heavenly King of Burning Venom amongst the Heavenly King''s rank, but they were rubbish in Yu Long''s eyes.


    ''Let''s see....'' Yu Long engrossed himself in the Heavenly King of Burning Venom''s memory. He witnessed many things and finally discovered the Dead Star Lake.


    A massiveke filled with dark water entered Yu Long''s vision.


    At first, he thought theke was deep, but that''s not the case because no living dares to walk into its perimeter. So, a one to two hundred meters area around theke is empty.


    From the Heavenly King of Burning Venom''s memory, Yu Long learned that any living beings thate in touch with the Dead Star Lake lose their lifespan and age rapidly into a withering mess.


    Yu Long also witnessed the Star River, a flowing water from the Dead Star Lake. The water is still as dark as thetter, but one can see a starry reflection on the dark water.


    And Star River is safer to touch. One wouldn''t lose their lifespan upon touching it.


    However, safety is not part of it. As the Heavenly King of Tempest said, the Star River is ''directly'' connected to another dimension. This other dimension is as dangerous as Dead Star Lake because it has a strong suction force that drowns and pulls you to that dimension.


    A Heavenly King with strong cloning ability tried to send her clones to this another dimension, but she injured herself instead and lost a portion of her cultivation base.


    Then, the Heavenly Kings discovered they could fish in the Star River and obtain Demonic Cores, which could strengthen their genes and blood to evolve.


    Yu Long frowned at the Dead Star Lake and Star River because he might have some guesses on how these ces formed. Fortunately, these ces exist in a Secret Realm.


    "The Heavenly Kings are smart to monopolize these ces." Yu Long rubbed his chin amusingly.


    He nced at the Little Bird and Turtle, "You guys can transform into humanoid forms, right?"


    "Yes, God Master." 2x.


    The Heavenly Kings answered immediately.


    Yu Long smiled a little, "It seems the Demonic Cores give you wonders, huh?"


    "Anyway, order your subordinates to retreat."


    "Your wish is ourmand!" The Heavenly King of Tempest and Heavenly King of the North hurriedly ordered their subordinates to leave the in of Solitude.


    They stared at the massive group of snake-type Profound Beasts that had lost their leaders and were confused about what to do with them.


    Yu Long saw their confused look and chuckled, "Old Man Fu Zhong, you take control of the Burning Venom''s snakes. They will be the Heavenly Demon Cult''s force from now on."


    "If possible, cultivate the project no.7, which we suspended years ago."


    Fu Zhong''s eyes lit up, "Are you perhaps talking about the Super Body Initiative, Lord Shadow?"


    Yu Long nodded, "Yes."


    "In the past, I was a bit iffy about this project, but I have the Sky Poison Pearl now. Some poisons wouldn''t hurt our members."


    "Then, I will start building the facility." Fu Zhong grinned and flew toward the horde of snakes. He began shouting at them and leading them into the Earthly Dragon Enve.


    A million snakes moved like a tsunami and slithered into the Earth Dragon Enve.


    "Well, what to do with you guys." Yu Long focused his attention on the Heavenly Kings again. "Let''s start with your transformation ability."


    The Heavenly King of Tempest and Heavenly King of the North nodded with their hearts. They let out a green and blue light, condensing their gigantic bodies into that of humanoid form.


    The Heavenly King of Tempest transformed into a tribal-looking woman with deep yellow eyes.


    She wore a feathery coat that stopped by her exposed tummy and a short feathery skirt that exposed her toned thighs. Her dark green hair has some slivers of white, framing her cute yet fierce face.


    Interestingly, she didn''t lose her green-feathered wings. They attached to her elbows and made her look like a harpy.


    Meanwhile, the Heavenly King of the North transformed into a dignified-looking elderly. He was bald yet had a well-maintained mustache and beard.


    He wore a green tunic robe with an attached golden shell on the back and had shades on. His appearance reminded Yu Long of a certain hermit who lived on an ind.


    Compared to the Heavenly King of Tempest, the Heavenly King of the North''s transformation is tamer.


    Yu Long looked at them interestingly, "Well done."


    "Your humanoid transformation is more stable than I thought. I could see that you two have absorbed the Demonic Cores'' energy perfectly."


    "But this is far from enough."


    "Little Bird, you ranked 7th on the Heavenly King Ranking."


    "And you, Little Turtle, are ranked 4th on the Heavenly King Ranking."


    "Although you two are better than the Little Snake, who was ranked 8th, your strength is minusculepared to the top three, right?"


    Little Bird and Turtle lowered their heads in embarrassment.


    They should be mad because Yu Long was mocking them, but they didn''t dare to. Yu Long has every right to criticize their weak strength.


    Yu Long shook his head helplessly, "You''re wasting a decade and a half just to absorb Demonic Cores'' true essence."


    "At this point, you''re going to get reced soon. You think getting the so-called Heaven and Earth Treasure will put you on a higher pyramid system, but here I tell you it would be useless."


    "And we couldn''t let that happen. The Secret Realm you two mentioned will appear in a week."


    "You don''t know this, but other Heavenly Kings have nned some ns."


    "W-What do you mean, God Master?" Little Bird was shocked.


    Yu Long smirked, "I have absorbed Burning Venom''s memory."


    "From it, I learned that the 2nd and 3rd Ranked Heavenly Kings have nned to kick you guys off by making their children the new Heavenly Kings."


    "How dare they?!" Little Turtle was speechless.


    ...


    Far away from the in of Solitude.


    A gigantic cow lies on the grasnd. The cow is muscr with purplish fur and runic characters all over its body.


    Beside the cow is another gigantic beast. It was a towering bison with curved golden horns and a slightly leaner but menacing body covered with white furs.


    "Honey, it seems the Burning Venom has died." Said the bison with a feminine voice. "He got killed in the in of Solitude."


    The crow opened his eyes and blinked a few times. "Are you telling the truth?"


    The bison huffed, "Some of my spies in the Tempest''s group told me."


    "They fought with a human in the in of Solitude..."


    "A human? Is it the Little Demon Empress?"


    "No, apparently, it was a human boy."


    The cow''s eyes shimmered with golden light. "Hmm..."


    "I can''t read the atmosphere."


    "We must forward our n."


    He nced back at a peculiar-looking mountain, which seemed alive as a heartbeat echoed inside the rocky area.


    It''s not just one heartbeat, though.


    Three heartbeats areing from the mountains.


    The cow smiled, "Nothing will stop our ambition."


    "Mm." The bison smiled back.


    "Our children will be the rulers of this world!"

    --- Chapter 235 ---


    A weekter.


    Yu Long stared at the meditating Chu Yuechan on the Primordial Profound Ark''s deck and sighed because the aloof maid didn''t seem to be exiting her epiphany states soon.


    However, this is not bad.


    From Chu Yuechan''s dim aura, Yu Long could sense the martial intent she grasped was rare and firm. The excellent sharpness and spatial closeness exceed that of ordinary Sword Intent.


    Without a doubt, Chu Yuechan will be an expert when she exits her epiphany state.


    Until that day, Yu Long would protect her."When will she wake up, Master?" Asked Chu Yueli, who was snacking on pickled radish. She has been eating food that Yona prepared for some reason.


    Recently, Yona learned how to cook, and Chu Yueli walked forward to test whether they were edible for Yu Long or poisonous. Of course, they are just ploys, as Chu Yueli would never let Yona''s cooking pass.


    Chu Yueli found Yona''s cooking edible, but are they delicious?


    No, they taste absolutely horrible.


    She would never let Yu Long taste horrible food.


    In the beginning, Yu Long tasted Yona''s food once.


    He got his tongue taste buds burned for a whole day.


    That''s an achievement no one has ever done.


    Yu Long smiled wryly at Chu Yueli, "I don''t know. At this rate, it could be weeks, months, and even years."


    "This is one of the wonders about Cultivation World."


    "Thankfully, Chu Yuechan''s body doesn''t need sustenance as long as there is Profound Energy in the atmosphere."


    "By the way, how were Xiao Lingxi and Yona? You''re in charge of teaching them how to cultivate, no?"


    Chu Yueli wiped her mouth and hands clean with a blue handkerchief and replied, "They are horrible..."


    "I don''t know how, but they are inadequate at absorbing knowledge."


    "I exined everything in the most basic form that even kids could understand, but they couldn''t understand the simplest breathing sequence."


    "But well... We did make some progress."


    "Xiao Lingxi has reached the 1st Stage of True Profound Realm."


    "As for Yona, she has reached the 5th Stage of True Profound Realm."


    "Maybe I''m just a bad teacher." She added self-condescendingly.


    Yu Long chuckled, "That''s not true. You taught some people, and they just came out good."


    "Xiao Lingxi and Yona are special cases, I believe."


    Unknown to Chu Yueli and Yu Long, the problem lies within the Profound Arts that Xiao Lingxi and Yona cultivate.


    Yu Long has created tailor-made Profound Arts for Xiao Lingxi and Yona, but they are too profound for them.


    For Xiao Lingxi, Yu Long created [Nothingness Sutra].


    And for Yona, Yu Long created [Mana Pulse Sutra].


    Yona can learn slightly faster than Xiao Lingxi because she still possesses the faster-running mind of Xuanyuan Yufeng, modified by Pandora. She is like a nk canvas that needs ink.


    On the other hand, Xiao Lingxi is just a vige girl. She doesn''t have a formal education about Profound Way.


    Do not ever think she would be a miraculous genius just because she was the Ancestral God''s reincarnation. The truth is uglier than that.


    After losing her reincarnation status, Xiao Lingxi''s only advantage is her Sacred Physique. Her mind isn''t enhanced or anything.


    Yu Long nced at the small forest below the Primordial Profound Ark that he made out of boredom. There is a running river and a grassy field nearby, too.


    On the grassy field is Xiao Lingxi meditating with a heartfelt yet solemn expression.


    Near the small river is Yona, staring at her nk-faced reflection on the running water.


    They look depressed, which makes Yu Long feel amused.


    "It''s like watching a doe tumble on its step."


    "The struggle is real."


    Yu Long closed his eyes and heard the sound of thunderps from the ground. ''Well, the grandfather and grandson duo is doing their best on training the Way of Thunderer.''


    ''I can''t wait to see their progress. The more they progress, the more reference I could get to improve the [Art of Thunder and Lightning].''


    Yu Long actually doesn''t need Yun Canghai and Yun Che''s service. But he always expected interesting development from them.


    Everything can happen in this god-forsaken world, after all.


    From the corner of Yu Long''s eyes, he noticed a green dot approaching the in of Solitude.


    "God Master." Tempestnded on the Primordial Profound Ark in her humanoid form.


    "How was the situation?" Yu Long asked calmly.


    Tempest answered with a dark expression, "As you said, God Master."


    "The Heavenly King of Stone and Heavenly King of Song really nned something behind everyone''s back. I can''t enter their territories at all."


    "They have sealed every channel."


    "One thing for sure, they are ready for their grand n."


    "What about Little Turtle?" Yu Long nodded in understanding.


    Tempest''s dark expression darkened, "Old Turtle is doing some random divination."


    "He told me it was to get great luck, but I doubt it."


    "Great luck..." Chu Yueli''s mouth twitched.


    Tempest gave Chu Yueli a scary look, "Dead Star Lake and Star River are dangerous ces. And that Old Turtle is overcautious as fuck."


    "You wouldn''t see himing out of his damn shell without defensive treasures."


    "Well, he''s a turtle." Yu Long couldn''t help butment.


    The Heavenly King of the North was busy preparing stuff in his territory and suddenly sneezed. The turtle cursed because someone was talking behind his back.


    Tempest huffed and continued, "The Secret Realm''s opening will open in twelve hours. The Heavenly Kings have moved, except for me, Old Turtle, and that monster Greed."


    "Greed..." Yu Long frowned slightly.


    The Heavenly King of Greed is the first-ranked in the Heavenly King Ranking.


    Tempest and Old Turtle didn''t know where he wasing from.


    Not only that, but they also don''t know what species he was.


    All they knew about the most mysterious Heavenly King was that his body consisted of scale-like obsidian armor and a red misty aura. Sometimes, they saw ws, wings, and an extra pair of eyes, but that''s it.


    Heavenly King of Greed is ''immensely'' strong. He could solo the rest of Heavenly Kings alone, which left them confused about why he didn''t take over the Illusory Demon Realm for himself.


    "Where is the Secret Realm''s opening?" Yu Long was curious. Although he has devoured the Heavenly King of Burning Venom''s memory, some old memories weren''t ''actually'' in it.


    Yes, including the secret realm''s location.


    Tempest pointed at the east, "There."


    Yu Long and Chu Yueli stared at the area but found nothing there. There are only mountains, forests, and obviously the faint blue sea.


    "Where?" Chu Yueli tilted her head in confusion.


    Tempestughed, "You can''t see with naked eyes, but that entire area will be apletely different world in twelve hours. The mountain will be volcanic, the forests will be barrennds, and the ocean..."


    "Well, it is the Dead Star Lake."


    "No way..." Chu Yueli was shocked. She has seen and read many bizarre events, but this is her first time learning such an event could happen.


    Yu Long stared at the empty distance, "A domain."


    "But to cover all those areas, the domain must be energy consuming."


    "This only happens twice a year ording to Burning Venom''s memory. That''s once every six months. A normal secret realm would have a longer cooldown period, yet this one opens frequently."


    "For example, Heaven Basin Secret Realm."


    "This secret realm cannot be this cheap. Not, it was too inviting as if asking people to find it."


    "This..." Yu Long stared at the bright sun in the clear blue sky.


    "It''s not you, right?"

    --- Chapter 236 ---


    An unknown ce.


    A smoldering creature cried in the burning star.


    "Again."


    "Not again."


    "God, when will you hear my prayer?"


    "I have been hurting myself thirty-two times, opening the sky for you.""Yet here I am, waiting for your light."


    "..."


    "..."


    "I''M GOING TO BREAK THE SKY FOR THIRTY-THIRD TIMES, EVEN IF I HAD TO PAY IT WITH MY LIFE!" The creature roared at the void and caused multiple explosions.


    BOOOOOM!!


    CRACK!


    Cracks appeared in the air as if they were ''poorly'' made of ss.


    Flickering candlelight shed in the area, and they vanished,


    Leaving nothing but a silent void.


    ...


    Blue Pole Star, Illusory Demon Realm.


    On top of a mountain, two figures are staring at a particr spot.


    Yu Long waited for the Secret Realm to open and calcted something in his mind. He kept rubbing his chin as if in deep thought, making Chu Yueli curious about what he was thinking of.


    Chu Yueli feels this Secret Realm has a connection with her master. Call it her woman''s intuition, but something as absurd as dimension alteration in a ce like this with Domain''s power means one word.


    Kaiju.


    Yes, Kaiju.


    Chu Yueli believed the Secret Realm was ''truthfully'' caused by one of Yu Long''s Kaijus.


    The problem is that Chu Yueli doesn''t know how powerful this Kaiju is. Chu Yueli couldn''t imagine how strong a monster could be to alter dimensions like this.


    "What?" Yu Long felt Chu Yueli''s gaze.


    Chu Yueli smiled, "Nothing."


    "What do you think of the Illusory Demon Realm so far, Master?"


    Yu Long stared into the distance, "Better than Profound Sky Continent."


    "Really?"


    "Mm. Although the Profound Sky Continent is overall stronger, something I like about the Illusory Demon Realm is the fact all races lived together in harmony."


    "They embraced their differences and cultures, bing strong together."


    "Unfortunately..."


    "The unity won''tst long if the ruler of the Illusory Demon Realm doesn''t lead things straight. The death of the Demon Emperor and Little Demon Emperor is an unfavorable disadvantage."


    "If I had to guess, the Illusory Demon Realm would fall into chaos soon."


    "I don''t know when, though..."


    "It could be tomorrow, next week, next month, or even next year."


    "One thing for sure. The storm is brewing." Yu Long sighed deeply.


    Truthfully, Yu Long believed the chaos in the Illusory Demon Realm would be more than Pandora had ever done to the Profound Sky Continent.


    Pandora is the epitome of chaos, yes. Yu Long wouldn''t deny that.


    However, what''sing after them in the Illusory Demon Realm is more challenging, depending on how Yu Long faces it.


    At the same time, two silhouettes stayed on opposite sides of the Secret Realm. The first silhouette is actually a giant toad with wrinkled yet glowing golden skin hugging a massive tree.


    The other silhouette is a fourteen-year-old girl with ck hair and an exceedingly beautiful and delicate face.


    Her hair was very long and grew all the way to below her hips. It was as pitch ck as a starless night.


    Her skin was as snow-white and soft as a newborn baby''s. It was like jade, pure and smooth without blemish. Her snowy shoulders, slender waist, small buttocks, and even her moderate breasts are charming.


    She wore a purplish-ck dress and dark veil, framing her beauty to the peak.


    "Heavenly King of Gold." The youngdy opened her pretty red lips and uttered coldly. "When will the Secret Realm open?"


    "Are you perhaps wanting to trick this Empress?"


    The golden toad broke a cold sweat, "Empress, I didn''t dare to think such a thing."


    "I already told you that the Secret Realm won''t open until the sun reaches its peak."


    The youngdy indifferently pursed her lips, "Demonic Cores."


    "Remember, your life is in my hands..."


    "Yes, yes, I know." The golden toad couldn''t help but sigh helplessly.


    Don''t look down on this cold youngdy.


    She might look young, but her name is ''literally'' feared and worshiped in the Illusory Demon Realm.


    Aside from her ethereal beauty, which makes her known as the number one beauty on the continent, people also called her the most Tyrannical Ruler in this era.


    The Heavenly King of Gold was amazed at how he was ''bitterly'' bound by such a terrifying figure. Aih, no wonder the Ten Heavenly Kings couldn''t conquer the continent. This little empress is too powerful.


    But this also makes the Golden Toad confused. Why did this Arrogant Little Empress look more desperate than anything?


    The youngdy swayed her body away, gazing at the mountain range far, far away.


    She clenched her little hand tightly, feeling extreme heat rising through her body again.


    ''I don''t have much time left. The Demon Emperor''s Seal has disappeared in the Profound Sky Continent, and my only chance is the Divine-grade Demonic Core.'' She thought solemnly.


    ''If I could get my hand on the Demonic Core, I might be able to calm down the Golden Crow''s bloodline.''


    ''I believed there was a huge possibility of me getting a more stable and stronger bloodline like the other Heavenly Kings.''


    ''If they could reach Monarch-level in a mere sixteen years, then I can be a God with Demonic Cores.''


    Unknown to the cold empress, her entry to the Secret Realm would be the luckiest encounter she had in her whole life.


    On the corner of a lush forest, the Heavenly King of Stone and Heavenly King of Song gathered under an ancient tree.


    The Heavenly King of Stone carried a lump on his back, making him look weird. This ''lump'' is his secret trump card in the iing Secret Realm''s opening.


    "Have you learned about the human who killed Burning Venom?" The Heavenly King of Stone asked his wife.


    The Heavenly King of Song shook her head weakly, "Tempest and The Old North have sealed all information. They even killed the spies I nted in their forces."


    "One thing for sure..."


    "We can expect him to appear in the Secret Realm."


    "After all, killing Burning Venom grants him the key to enter the area."


    "Stone, honey, do you think he would be a problem?"


    The Heavenly King of Stone grimaced, "I don''t know..."


    "My ability can''t read the lines of this mysterious expert."


    "How is that even possible? Your ability is the strongest after the Greed Monster."


    "My ability is strong, but it''s not absolute. It has a w."


    "And I hope the w is not too big..."


    The other Heavenly Kings also gathered around the Secret Realm and saw a blinking light falling from the sky. They braced themselves and were ready for the fight.


    Back to Yu Long.


    He stared at the falling star in the middle of the day and smiled, "So, it is you, huh?"


    "As expected, things are going to be chaotic."


    "Yueli, is everyone ready?" Yu Long nced back.


    Chu Yueli nodded, "Our force is ready."


    "Well, let''s enter the Secret Realm, shall we?"


    As the falling white star descended the atmosphere and touched the ground with silent sound, an invisible barrier surrounded the mountain, forest, and a small portion of the sea.


    "Let''s go!" Yu Long and his people quickly reached the barrier and entered apletely different world.


    Yu Long watched the dimension transforming rapidly, leaving little to no imagination on how it actually works. But Yu Long knows the truth.


    "Wait, where is everyone?" Yu Long exited the deep thought and realized he was the only person in the area.


    He looked around and found himself in an underground cave that led to a white light.


    Yu Long frowned and mumbled, "Don''t tell me you''re ying around right now?"


    He walked along the path and kept his Profound Sense active. He reached the end of the path and arrived at a creepy-looking, tube-shaped hall with statues on the walls and an altar in the middle.


    A sh of golden light appeared in the corner of Yu Long''s eyes.


    It was a petite youngdy in a purplish-ck dress.


    Yu Long couldn''t see her face because she wore a dark veil, which seemed to be a Profound Artifact.


    "You. You stare too much..." The youngdy coldly stared at Yu Long.


    "Come here and kneel before this empress."


    "Pardon?" Yu Long was speechless.


    He didn''t expect this at all.

    I have added this fanfic to my P4treon Page. You can support me and read advanced chapters there. It motivate me to write more chapters for you guys!


    Link: /NineClouds69


    --- Chapter 237 ---


    "Pardon?"


    Meeting the cold gaze of this haughty-looking girl, Yu Long was honestly speechless.


    Was his gaze that offensive?


    Damn, Girl. You''re so Narcissistic.


    "I won''t repeat myself..." Said the veiled youngdy.


    Yu Long shrugged and ignored her. He walked to the altar, examining it with a careful gaze.The veiled youngdy couldn''t believe her eyes.


    ''This guy... He actually dares to ignore this empress!'' She was shocked for the first time in a decade. Not many people could ignore the prestige that she had built.


    Unless.


    Yes, unless this guy has no idea who she was.


    The veiled youngdy frowned and questioned coldly, "You, who are you?"


    "How did you enter the Demon Star Secret Realm?"


    "From the front door." Yu Long answered while waving his hand as if her question was dumb.


    "..." The veiled youngdy was speechless.


    THERE IS NO DOOR!


    You''re not fooling anyone here.


    Yu Long injected his profound energy into the altar and triggered changes in the hall, causing the statues in the walls to move. The creaking sounds echoed, giving a sense of dread.


    "Hmm, weird." Yu Long rubbed his nose. "The altar doesn''t work with hidden mechanisms, but more of sorcery."


    "Hey, rude girl."


    "Destroy one statue for me."


    The veiled youngdy grimaced, "Me? A rudedy?"


    "Watch your mouth, imbecile!"


    "Also, how dare you order this empress?"


    "You deserve a fate worse than death."


    "Jeez, calling yourself empress is cringe." Yu Long dug his earszily, which confused the veiled youngdy further as she didn''t know what ''cringe'' meant.


    The statues brandished their weapons and surrounded Yu Long and the veiled youngdy.


    Although Yu Long couldn''t detect any life force from these rock statues, he could confirm their strength based on the material used. They are around the middle stage of Tyrant Profound Realm.


    Swoosh!


    One statue rushed toward the veiled youngdy, swinging a rock sword at her.


    A wisp of golden light appeared in the veiled youngdy''s snowy hand, and the statue exploded into pieces, scattering with sizzling noise.


    Yu Long raised his brows, ''Golden and heat?''


    ''There is only one figure who wields this kind of power. Don''t tell me this girl is...''


    Unknown to the veiled youngdy, Yu Long has guessed her identity but decided to stay quiet about it. His gaze focused on the sizzling rocks and spotted a faint line connected to the altar.


    Woosh!


    A ball of green me burst on the hall''s wall.


    There are thirty-three tforms, which matches the number of statues, and one is hosting the fireball.


    The veiled youngdy also noticed this and sted another statue into pieces, triggering the same green fireball.


    "Destroy more!" Yu Longmented loudly.


    "Don''t order this empress around!" The veiled youngdy coldly replied, yet still proceeding to destroy more statues.


    After destroying them all, Yu Long noticed the slight hike in the veiled youngdy''s body temperature. It was abnormal as she didn''t use any heavy moves.


    Her step is graceful and light.


    Her method of sting the statues is also a simple energy st with concentrated heat.


    Compared to other Profound Practitioners, Yu Long found her fighting method simple yet efficient.


    Still, it doesn''t explode as the body temperature rises.


    "Hey, is there something wrong with your body?" Yu Long blurted casually.


    The veiled youngdy froze on the spot before responding, "None of your business, dead weight..."


    "Calm down, I''m just asking." Yu Long smiled slightly.


    "You''re so sensitive."


    ''Like that frail body of yours.''


    At first nce, there is nothing wrong with the veiled youngdy.


    However, Yu Long could see more than ordinary eyes could. Even without Kaiju Maker, he could tell the veiled youngdy''s bloodline was rampaging due to the nature of her birth.


    It''s like putting burningva inside a container made from fragile ss.


    The container was bound to crack and melt after so long.


    The veiled youngdy would be better at cultivating the Frozen Cloud Arts. It would be perfect for her constitution.


    s, the veiled youngdy was born and raised in the Illusory Demon Realm with an aggressive bloodline that was the very opposite of Ice Phoenix.


    Yu Long shook his head. ''How unfortunate, indeed.''


    Since the veiled youngdy is proud and stubborn, Yu Long likes to see how long shests.


    Of course, Yu Long would offer a hand when she couldn''t handle the heat anymore. That''s up to her, though. Looking at how she treats Yu Long like nothing but a burden, she probably won''t ept his help.


    ''Well, we will see about that...'' Yu Long smiled mysteriously and couldn''t wait to see this proud youngdy melt her facade away.


    Thirty-three green fireballs lit up their respective tforms.


    Yu Long looked down and saw a gap in the floor, which looked like an energy pathways from the tforms to the altar.


    The energy pathways lit up, causing the altar to tremble.


    The veiled youngdy walked closer to the altar. She snorted at Yu Long and focused her indifferent gaze on the altar.


    As the altar transformed, all that was left was a basin of water.


    It''s not your ordinary water, obviously.


    A green liquid is stored in the basin, gleaming with golden luster.


    Yu Long couldn''t recognize the liquid, but the veiled youngdy could.


    Gasp!


    A surprised gasp escaped the veiled youngdy''s mouth.


    "Evergreen Tree''s Dew..." The veiled youngdy mumbled in disbelief.


    "I thought it was just a myth."


    "Evergreen Tree''s Dew?" Yu Long was confused.


    The veiled youngdy coldly sneered at Yu Long, "Of course, a dead weight like you wouldn''t know."


    "Evergreen Tree is a mythical existence. A myth said that everything about this tree could create a miracle."


    "The branch of Evergreen Tree could be Divine Weapon."


    "The leaves of Evergreen Tree could be a Divine Tea that could help one understand Martial Path faster."


    "The root of the Evergreen Tree has a medicinal effect that strengthens one''s body into that Divine Weapon, though the method is unknown..."


    "Evergreen Tree''s Dew is the condensation of tree''s sap. It has a simr effect to curing any disease and letting one obtain an Evergreen Immortal Physique. It took centuries to make a drop fall, yet there is so much in this basin." She continued solemnly.


    "Just how long it took to gather this much Evergreen Tree''s Dew..."


    "Immortal Physique, huh? That sounds impressive." Yu Long honestly praised.


    The veiled youngdy clicked her tongue in annoyance, "What do you know about Immortal Physique? You''re just a freeloader."


    "Well, Miss knows everything." Yu Long chuckled heartfully. "Why don''t you drink this shady dew and let me see how impressive the Evergreen Immortal Physique was?"


    The veiled youngdy obviously wanted to do that. Unfortunately, Evergreen Tree''s Dew needs a proper procession with an alchemic technique before consumption.


    And her knowledge of alchemy is low.


    She worried her poor attempt to process it would waste the dew''s efficiency.


    The veiled youngdy nastily stared at Yu Long, "You."


    "Do you know Alchemy?"


    "Well, I''m something of a Master Alchemist myself." Yu Long grinned while puffing his chest.


    "Okay, stop lying." The veiled youngdy was disgusted.


    "Just say if you can do Alchemy or not."


    "I could have sted you right now..."


    Yu Long nced at the Evergreen Tree''s Dew and confidently replied, "I can."


    "It''s not hard to refine this liquid."


    "It''s just water with extreme vitality, that''s it."


    The veiled youngdy was unsure of Yu Long''s ability but couldn''t do anything about it.


    She gritted her teeth and said, "If you can refine this liquid, I can give you 10% of it."


    "Sixty." Yu Long bargained hard.


    The veiled youngdy furrowed her brows, "20%."


    "Seventy~!" Yu Long teased her.


    "Don''t test me, dead weight! Or you will regret it!" The veiled youngdy was furious.


    Yu Long doesn''t care, "I can guarantee less than 30% loss, but give me half."


    "Half..." The veiled youngdy''s expression darkened.


    She thought of pros and cons before deciding.


    "Fine!"


    "You can get half of the refined dew."


    ''Hehe, as easy as taking candy from children.'' Yu Long thought at the back of his mind.


    "Well, let''s start."


    Yu Long ced his left hand over the Evergreen Tree''s Dew and used his cheat tool.


    Sky Poison Pearl!


    This Heavenly Treasure can purify nearly everything in the Primal Chaos, including medicinal treasures like Evergreen Tree''s Dew.


    The veiled youngdy definitely didn''t see thising.

    --- Chapter 238 ---


    Watching Yu Long refine the Evergreen Tree''s Dew, the veiled youngdy frowned slightly. Yu Long clearly focused all his mind on refining the dew, but why did she feel something was off?


    Yu Long was sweating profusely, but it was all an act.


    A swirl of air came from the Sky Poison Pearl, making Yu Long look like he was doing intense refinement. The Evergreen Tree''s Dew decreased in volume, but they could feel the purity and vitality increase.


    Even though the veiled youngdy doubted Yu Long''s ability, the result speaks for itself.


    ''He''s not bad.'' The veiled youngdy thought.


    Unknown to her, Yu Long slyly siphoned 40% of the Evergreen Tree''s dew and stored it inside the Sky Poison Pearl. Since this thing could grant an Immortal Physique, it is worth researching.A few moments before the finishing refinement, Yu Long put on a pained expression and coughed awkwardly. "I''m sorry, I failed..." He said while covering his mouth.


    To hold his wickedughter from getting out.


    "What''s the matter?" The veiled youngdy frowned.


    Yu Long sighed hopelessly, "I bragged that I could refine the dew with less than 30% loss. The truth is, well, my skill is a bit worse, and I made a 40% loss."


    "..." The veiled youngdy.


    She hesitated for a bit before saying, "Actually..."


    "I expected worse."


    "What?" Yu Long was dazed.


    The veiled youngdy squinted her cold eyes at Yu Long and mercilessly added, "I didn''t have expectations from your alchemy''s skill."


    "We are nothing but strangers, so I expected a 70% loss at the very least..."


    "40% loss is eptable. Your alchemy skill is definitely better than most Master Alchemists in the Illusory Demon Realm."


    "You surprised me, dead weight."


    ''Then, why are you still calling me that?'' Yu Long''s mouth twitched slightly.


    "I-Is that so?"


    The veiled youngdy indifferently said, "As we agreed on. I will give you half of the Evergreen Tree''s Dew."


    Seeing the veiled youngdy this upright, Yu Long couldn''t help but feel bad for tricking her. Even then, Yu Long kept his lips tight because he didn''t want to create an unnecessary problem.


    Well, it wasn''t Yu Long''s fault.


    This girl is looking down on him too much.


    At least she kept her part of the promise, unlike some women.


    Yu Long picked a jade bottle from his spatial storage with a sealing array inside it. Using this to store the refined Evergreen Tree''s Dew would keep the quality at its peak.


    "Go on, take your portion." The veiled youngdy waved her hand.


    Yu Long awkwardly nodded, using his mental energy to move the dew into a jade bottle. The veiled youngdy observed Yu Long silently and said nothing about his performance.


    After taking half of the dew, Yu Long sealed the jade bottle and walked to the other side of the hall. He stared at the jade bottle and smiled slightly, as this could be useful for many things.


    He sat on the floor and was curious to see what kind of constitution the Evergreen Immortal Physique was. He already had an idea in mind but had to see the veiled youngdy demonstrate it first.


    "I will be meditating to absorb the Evergreen Tree''s Dews. If I catch you doing indecent things in the meantime, I will kill you." The veiled youngdy didn''t forget to threaten Yu Long''s life.


    Yu Long helplessly raised his arms, "I won''t move an inch."


    The veiled youngdy''s threat makes her more adorable than anything.


    It''s like a Chihuahua, cute and fierce.


    The vailed youngdy went to the other side of the hall, avoiding Yu Long entirely. She sat down and brought the refined Evergreen Tree''s dew into her nose.


    Instead of drinking it, she actually inhales the dew''s scent to absorb the medicinal effect.


    Yu Long was fascinated by this method but also found it logical.


    The Evergreen Tree''s Dew is too concentrated, so drinking it would cause one''s body to explode from extreme activity. One''s cells couldn''t absorb too much life force, or they would die out faster.


    Inhaling it would make the absorption more efficient.


    Yu Long observed the veiled youngdy''s body with Kaiju Maker and saw her cells evolving, brimming with life force. Greenlight coated her body, blood, bones, and skin.


    ''As I guessed...''


    ''The Evergreen Immortal Physique is a mutant body from my previous world. It allows one to have hyper regeneration that causes one''s body to regenerate from any damage that doesn''t exceed cell division speed.''


    ''Technically speaking, it is worthy to be called Immortal Physique.''


    ''Of course, this is tied to one''s soul power.''


    Yu Long couldn''t help but shake his head in disappointment, ''If the soul is not powerful enough, the body''s cell division won''tst. The Evergreen Immortal Physique would be an empty vessel.''


    ''But there might be something more.''


    "It can''t be a simple regeneration." Yu Long has detected something extra in the Evergreen Tree''s Dew.


    The veiled youngdy''s blood rapidly evolved under Yu Long''s gaze, and a burst of golden me suddenly ignited, wrapping her in fire.


    The golden me is ferocious, increasing the room temperature instantly by just appearing.


    Yu Long''s lips curled slightly because the veiled youngdy couldn''t hide her identity from him anymore.


    Wait, why did her clothes burn?


    As the golden me intensified, the veiled youngdy''s body became bare to Yu Long''s eyes.


    It was a feast!


    Yu Long''s soon-to-be wives are goddesses and fairies in terms of looks, but this youngdy is honestly on par with them. Those tender yet indifferent facial features are attractive.


    Although her body is a bit underdeveloped, especially in the chest area, her snowy skin and thin waist are inviting to hug.


    ''They are pink.'' Yu Long nodded in admiration.


    Cough!


    After looking at her respectfully for another five seconds, Yu Long looked away and only monitored her changes through mental power. He couldn''t tarnish his gentlemanly image.


    Too bad the image was ''already'' tarnished when Yu Long engaged Xia Qingyue and Cang Yue.


    Yu Long forgets he was a Harem Protagonist.


    Three minutester.


    The aloof youngdy opened her cold eyes and red at Yu Long with killing intent. Although Yu Long had moved his gaze and stared at the ceiling, she could feel his gaze earlier.


    She impatiently opened her spatial ring and wore a new pair of clothes, mainly a ck dress, ck stockings with gold lining, light shoes, and a new veil.


    "Die, you dirty peeping bastard!" She said while sending an energy st at Yu Long.


    Yu Long supported his body with one hand and kicked the wall, dodging the energy st. All those moves were done casually, by the way.


    "Woah, calm down."


    "Why did you attack me? I say I won''t move an inch." Yu Long cast her a teasing smile.


    The veiled youngdy clenched her hand, "You have seen this empress''s bare body. You deserve to die!"


    "That''s harsh." Yu Long chuckled. He rubbed his nose because he didn''t see much.


    Just a little, you know?


    The veiled youngdy burst with the power of Sovereign Profound Realm Expert, causing the hall to shake violently. Greenlight flickered around her body, shaping her into a feminine figure with butterfly wings.


    She gave off a suffocating empress-like aura and vowed, "Today! If I didn''t take your lowly life with my very own hands, then I''m not the Little Demon Empress!"

    --- Chapter 239 ---


    "Today! If I didn''t take your lowly life with my very own hands, then I''m not the Little Demon Empress!" A hateful scream reverberated in the hollow hall.


    The Little Demon Empress was furious.


    Meanwhile, Yu Long blinked in pure amazement at the sight of the Little Demon Empress.


    That fairy-like silhouette behind her is familiar to him. No wonder Yu Long felt there was something extra in the Evergreen Tree''s Dew.


    Elemental Spirit!


    Elemental Spirit was part of the Kaiju''s descendant Yu Long derived in his previous life. They are birthed with different elements, and from the look of it, the Little Demon Empress gained the approval of Wind Elemental Spirit.Seeing the Elemental Spirit doesn''t make Yu Long happy, though.


    His previous guess about what originated the Demonic Star Secret Realm might be urate.


    A grave danger will befall the Illusory Demon Realm.


    Powered by the violent wind, Little Demon Empress stretched her slender fingers and summoned a wisp of golden me. The attack she was about to unleash is definitely a killing technique.


    The golden me revolved by the wind and shot at Yu Long like a fiery cannonball.


    Swoosh!


    A sizzling and whistling soundes from the fireball.


    ''Damn! Even this girl''s mastery over Wind Elemental is excellent,'' Yu Long thought amidst the chaos, impressed by Little Demon Emperor''s skill in using Wind Elemental''s power.


    Kriek!


    Suddenly, the hall changed.


    The wall near Yu Long descended, revealing a tunnel.


    Yu Long disappeared into the tunnel without further ado and left the Little Demon Empress alone. He could Little Demon Empress''s frustrated groan as she chased after him with intent to kill.


    However, how could a mere monarch-level expert chase after Yu Long?


    Little Demon Empress might be an outstanding monarch-level expert who gained the strong approval of Wind Elemental Spirit, but she is still weakerpared to Yu Long.


    "Bye, Bye~!" Yu Long''s teasing voice echoed in the tunnel.


    Little Demon Empress froze on the spot. Yu Long vanished from her sight and didn''t even leave a cloud of dust behind. Even though the tunnel is dark, it''s not to the point where she can''t see anything, yet Yu Long still escapes her senses.


    "Such a profound movement technique..." She mumbled solemnly.


    "Just who is he?"


    "Since when did the Illusory Demon Realm have a person like him?"


    Many questions shed in the Little Demon Empress''s little head. Atst, she could only sigh.


    "You can run, but you can''t hide." She gazed at the darkness.


    "This empress will judge you to death!"


    After saying that, Little Demon Empress nced at the Wind Elemental and examined it with great interest.


    "As expected..."


    "Entering the Demonic Star Secret Realm is a good judgment."


    "I''ve just entered and already obtained the Evergreen Tree''s Dew. What kind of treasures could I get if I reached Dead Star Lake and Star River?"


    Little Demon Empress has hope in her miserable life for the first time in over a century. Something she knew very little about due to her family''s tragedy.


    ...


    ...


    Yu Long exited the tunnel and found himself falling from the sky.


    "What the..."


    He was actually jumping straight off the cliff.


    On top of that, Yu Long also couldn''t fly using the Profound Floating Technique due to the Demonic Star Secret Realm''s natural order.


    It was bizarre. The atmosphere wasn''t working alongside the profound energy.


    Since Yu Long couldn''t use the Profound Floating Technique in this secret realm, he could only use wings. Two pairs of beautiful, red me wings sprouted from Yu Long''s back. They were ''skillfully'' made from the modified [World Ode of the Phoenix].


    Yu Long could have created real wings using his ability, but that would have been too much effort for this minor inconvenience.


    He also wanted to test something, enveloping the fiery wings with the power of lightning.


    ZZT! SSSSH!


    Sizzling and electro soundse from the wings.


    The golden electricity merged with red wings, giving them a solid bone-like structure for better stability.


    "Good, it''s working." Yu Long smiled in satisfaction. He didn''t mind using the explosive trait of the fire element, but nothing beat the speed of lightning.


    Combining both traits wouldplement Yu Long''s movement set even more.


    After achieving this small sess, Yu Long''s figure blurred and zoomed several kilometers away. Little Demon Empress exited the tunnel and was toote to catch Yu Long.


    Yu Long pped his wings and observed the Secret Realm''s territory from the sky. This ce is way bigger than he thought.


    It seems the space in this Secret Realm didn''t just warp.


    Yu Long believed the space is ''actually'' stretched.


    The process is the opposite of a space-folding array, making two points longer than they should have been.


    Hended on another mountain and heard the sound of fighting. He hid behind a rock and gauged the situation.


    On a tnd between two mountains, Yu Long spotted the Heavenly King of Tempest fighting against a fifteen-meter-tall Tyrannosaurus!


    Yup, T-rex.


    And this is not your ordinary T-rex.


    The T-rex has dark red scales with blue, bony tes along its back and a cream-colored underside. It has a massive, sword-like tail and powerful hind legs. Its arms are tiny and useless inbat, and its face and jaws resemble a Carnotaurus, like a ted helmet.


    Both gigantic beasts fired and attacked each other.


    One is throwing an intense tornado.


    And the other is shing its tail nonstop,unching fiery shes.


    The mountain areas are on the verge of breaking apart already.


    Yu Long stared at the T-rex and said, "ymosarus, otherwise known as C-Rex, this is a surprise."


    "Who would have thought a profound beast could get its hand on the C-Rex''s essence sphere and absorb the genes enough to evolve into one."


    "This fellow is hard to fight in my previous world."


    "And this one is a juvenile..."


    "Even then, it is qualified to be a Dragon. Yet I doubt it has developed intelligence."


    Yu Long stared at the C-Rex''s small arms and shook his head because such a good gene always had a weakness. Well, it could still grow and evolve into Alpha C-Rex.


    He leaned against a solid rock and watched Tempest fighting the C-Rex fiercely, yawning asionally.


    Three minutester, Tempest sent C-Rex to the mountain and made it whimper in pain.


    "Annoying little shit!" Tempest was annoyed.


    If C-Rex didn''t have that annoying sword-like tail, she could have won faster.


    p, p!


    Yu Long pped for Tempest and praised, "Good job, Tempest."


    "I know you won''t lose..."


    "G-God Master~!" Tempest was surprised to find Yu Long this fast. She was delighted.


    "We finally met again!"


    Yu Long nodded, "Mm."


    "The secret realm separates people from their own group. It never happened in the previous opening."


    "I saw you''re having a tough time fighting this little fellow."


    "Well..." Tempest awkwardly looked away.


    "Sword-Tailed Dragon is always difficult to fight."


    "I''m lucky that this was only a young one. An adult Sword-Tailed Dragon would make me run for my money."


    Yu Long chuckled, "You might regret saying that."


    "Pardon... What do you mean?" Tempest was confused.


    SWOOSH! BOOOOOOOM!!


    Before Tempest could react, the two mountains near them split in half.


    The mountains got sliced in the middle, revealing a burning t surface like a furnished table.


    Tempest''s eyes widened in fear as she looked up and saw a 150-meter-tall Sword-Tailed Dragon or C-Rex.


    "Fuck! We are dead! We are really dead!" The green bird cursed.


    Yu Long stared at the adult C-Rex andmented, "150 meters... That is a record, for sure."


    "Usually, a mature C-Rex is only one hundred meters tall."


    "The sword-like tail alone is over fifty meters..."


    "This one is mutated."


    ROAR!!


    The massive beast is roaring at them angrily.


    "And it''s a female, too." Yu Long added calmly.


    "Probably the mother of this juvenile C-Rex."


    "Hehe. I''m lucky to find another research material..."

    --- Chapter 240 ---


    ymosaurus.


    They are one of the apex predators in Yu Long''s previous world. Each of them could decimate a city, leaving nothing but ruin behind.


    Yu Long gazed at the literal giant before him and said pleasantly, "Such a good research subject."


    "An ordinary C-Rex wouldn''t catch my attention."


    "But a mutated one? They are as rare as a needle in a pile of hays."


    Thinking about the preciousness of the mutated C-Rex, Yu Long couldn''t bear to kill it. A rare and extinct beast like this must be ''carefully'' nurtured to yield gene results.Above all else, Yu Long noticed that the mutated C-Rex used the sword-like tail with an energy coat, which means it had adapted to Primal Chaos Dimension''s pressure.


    Yu Long fought against Alpha C-Rex once in his previous life. That Alpha C-Rex is a monster capable of mass destruction by aimlessly swinging his sword-like tail around.


    One bad mood and a mountain would go from the map.


    This mad, mutated C-Rex is no different.


    No, this mutated C-Rex is probably more aggressive and dangerous than Alpha C-Rex.


    ''The scale of the world is just too different.'' Yu Long observed, searching for more changes in the mutated C-Rex if there were any.


    Unfortunately, apart from the scale-ted armor and a rger'' sword-like tail, he couldn''t find any significant changes.


    C-Rex was ''really'' driven mad because her son got injured by two tiny creatures. Tempest might be a rger'' bird, but her size is still smaller than the mutated C-Rex.


    The mutated C-Rex is akin to a mountain, literally.


    As Yu Long was deep in his thoughts, the mutated C-Rex swayed her sword-like tail and snapped the air.


    A screeching sound echoed, and a fiery energy sh fired at them.


    Tempest hurriedly created a tornado to deflect the energy sh, yet it got shed through.


    Yu Long pulled the golden bone knife from his pocket and shed the air gently, shifting the air. Concentrated pyro-electro energy sted and shed with C-Rex''s energy sh.


    Two arcs met in the air.


    BOOOOOOM!!


    Tempest''s eyes widened because the energy magnitude exceeded that of the peak monarch-level fight. Like fireworks, the energy shes exploded and sprayed sizzlingva everywhere.


    The surrounding area has turned into chaoticvand.


    Yu Long kicked the ground and soared toward the C-Rex.


    They stared at each other andunched themselves forward.


    The sword-like tail burst out with a threatening red aura, igniting the air around it.


    C-Rex really gives off a deadly predator vibe.


    On the other hand, Yu Long is calm. There is no special aura or burning air around him.


    It''s just him and the golden bone knife.


    ROAR!!


    Violent sword storms appeared, charging at Yu Long.


    Yu Long''s golden eyes shed with contempt because the sword storms were easy to read. He injected fire and lightning elements into the golden bone knife, causing it to grow an energy de by a few feet.


    In a sh, a knife has be a Heavy Sword.


    [Heavenly Wolf God''s Series - 1st Sword: Heavenly!]


    Yu Long swung the energized Heavy Sword with pure raw strength and shifted the air, expanding it rapidly into that of an air cannon.


    BOOOOOM!


    The air cannon met with the violent sword storms, creating a sphere of destruction mid-air. The surrounding area is getting ruined beyond recognition.


    "A-Amazing." Tempest couldn''t believe her eyes.


    The Sword-Tailed Dragon is a Divine Beast in the Demonic Star Secret Realm, and each is known for their extreme strength.


    Yet Yu Long could exchange moves with the adult Sword-Tailed Dragon easily. He didn''t even break a single sweat.


    The mutated C-Rex blinked her eyes in awe. A human could repel her sword storm?


    It is unbelievable.


    As the sword storm cleared out, Yu Long kicked the air and swung his heavy sword again.


    It was the same technique, but the mutated C-Rex felt dread from it.


    Once Yu Long fully swung the heavy sword, air pressure filled in and caught C-Rex with a shockwave.


    The surging shockwave is too much, even for the 150-meter-tall mutated C-Rex.


    BOOM!!


    "Fuck!" Tempest watched the frightening Sword-Tailed Dragon get sent flying like a ragdoll.


    Yu Long didn''t stop and kicked the air to appear above the stumbling C-Rex. He wanted to bully her a bit more.


    Of course, it wouldn''t be so easy.


    The C-Rex stabbed the ground with her tail, causing thend to split into a ravine. She bounced upward and spun swiftly, bing a rotating saw with a fiery de.


    ZZZT~! SHIIIIING!


    ROAR!!


    The mutated C-Rex roared, and the fiery de became more intense.


    Watching the fiery sawing toward himself. Yu Long couldn''t help butugh because this attack would kill anyone below the Divine Realm.


    Heck! Even an early-stage Divine Origin Realm might not survive.


    Unfortunately, C-Rex''s opponent is Yu Long.


    Yu Long pressed his thumb on the Heavy Sword and injected more energy to make it heavier. Lifting the Heavy Sword, he swung it down slowly and shot out an energy projectile.


    However, it wasn''t an ordinary energy projectile.


    [Heavenly Wolf God''s Series - 2nd Sword: Wolf!]


    AAUUUUU!


    The energy projectile morphed into a white wolf with sharp fangs.


    The white wolf bit the fiery saw and tackled it to the ground, causing a rupture in the five-kilometer radius.


    BOOOOM!


    A pir of white light rose to the sky, clearing the clouds.


    As the light cleared, Yu Long could see the injured and fainted C-Rex in a hole. He smirked and slowly descended to the ferocious beast,nding on her head.


    To Yu Long''s surprise, the juvenile C-Rex appeared out of nowhere and shed its tail at him.


    Yu Long chuckled as he casually pped the sword-like tail away, "Don''t worry. I won''t kill your mom."


    "See, I''m healing her right now." Yu Long returned the heavy sword to the golden bone knife and cast a light-based recovery technique on the mutated C-Rex.


    The small C-Rex groaned at Yulong and then licked its mother''s injured body gently. But from the look of it, the mutated C-Rex won''t be awake anytime soon.


    Yu Long lowered his left hand and was ready to store the injured beast in Sky Poison Pearl. "Hey, I will put your mom in a safer ce."


    "In the meantime, you must follow me..."


    The juvenile C-Rex hesitated after hearing Yu Long''s words. Although it hasn''t developed enough intelligence, it is smart enough to understand Yu Long''s intention.


    In the end, the young beast nodded.


    After all, Yu Long is much stronger than its mother.


    Yu Long stored the injured beast in the Sky Poison Pearl and rode the young C-Rex to the surface. Tempest has been waiting, pping her feathery wings anxiously.


    "God Master, you''re fine!" Tempest was happy when seeing Yu Long in one piece.


    Yu Long''s mouth twitched, "What do you mean by I''m fine?"


    "Did you expect me to die or something?"


    "U-Uh... So, what''s with this fellow?" Tempest diverted the topic to the young C-Rex.


    Yu Long snorted at her, "My little friend."


    "I don''t have a name for him yet."


    Rrrr~!


    The young C-Rex groaned at Yu Long.


    "Oh, you are a girl?." Yu Long let out a chuckle.


    "Well, let''s give you a name then, princess."


    "Hmm... What about Little Sword?"


    Rrrr~!!


    The young C-Rex groaned again as if demanding a cuter name.


    ''Ungrateful little shit.'' Tempest thought. She would be happy to get a new name from Yu Long.


    Yu Long helplessly sighed and thought deeply for five seconds before saying, "Is Cam eptable?"


    The young C-Rex pondered and then nodded.


    "Okay, that was easier than I thought." Yu Long rubbed Cam''s head gently. "Let''s explore the Demonic Star Secret Realm together now."


    After that, the three of them traveled across a vast in.


    They saw arge body of water but frowned because there were multiple presences in that area.


    Rawr~!


    Cam nudged Yu Long with her tail gently.


    Yu Long understood Cam''s thought and whispered in surprise, "Really? You said there is a treasure ahead?"


    Rrr!


    The young beast nodded excitedly.


    "Hmm, Tempest, do take a little peek for me." Yu Long ordered the green bird.


    "Right away, God Master!" Tempest pped her wings and ascended to a higher altitude.

    --- Chapter 241 ---


    Five minutester.


    Tempest returned with an intel.


    Several ferocious beasts like T-Rex and two Heavenly Kings fought over a soon-to-be blooming treasure at the body of water ahead. Apparently, it was a golden blue-colored lotus.


    Cami''s eyes lit up and purred excitedly, telling Yu Long that the golden blue-colored lotus was the treasure she meant.


    "Do you know what kind of treasure this lotus is?" Yu Long asked Tempest because he never heard of such treasure, even in the Miracle of Life, Li Suo''s legacy.


    Tempest shook her head bitterly, "No, God Master.""Unfortunately, I don''t know anything about this lotus."


    "I''m a bit of a birdbrain in this field..."


    ''Well, you''re a bird.'' Yu Long thought while thinking about something unimportant.


    So far, Yu Long has gotten a feeling that the Demonic Star Secret Realm is unlike anything else he had seen in the Primal Chaos Dimension, though he hasn''t much outside the Blue Pole Star.


    The secret realm has too many unknown things, exceeding Yu Long''s sea of knowledge. Watching this realm, he felt like it was a fusion between the Primal Chaos Dimension and his previous life world.


    There is no mistake.


    Yu Long could tell the ambiance was there.


    "Mutated creatures like C-Rex, medicinal liquid simr to Geno Potion, and everything." He mumbled solemnly.


    "God Master?" Tempest called Yu Long, waking him up from the stupor.


    Yu Long blinked and nced at her, "What''s the matter?"


    Tempest tilted her head in confusion, "Uh, I''m asking what we should do next."


    "Well, let''s march forward. I want to get my hand on the golden-blue lotus."


    Hearing Yu Long''s answer, Tempest nodded in agreement. They couldn''t miss their chances on such a sought-after treasure.


    If Tempest were alone, she wouldn''t dare to join in such a deadly and fiercepetition.


    Hehe, but she had the God Master on her side. His power should be more than enough to wipe those wimpy fellows.


    C-Rex growled and rushed forward with extreme speed, leaving behind Tempest.


    "Wait for me!" Tempest pped her wings.


    At the massive body of water, the golden-blue lotus absorbed sunlight and made the water glow in a shimmering yellow flush. It looks like a goldenke from afar, basking in mysterious glory.


    "You said Heavenly Kings earlier. Who are they?" Yu Long questioned while sitting above Cami''s head, undisturbed by her ''extremely'' fast movement.


    Tempest nodded and described, "They were lower-ranked Heavenly Kings who just became part of the group five years ago."


    "Although they are not strong, their abilities are annoying."


    "One is ranked ten, Heavenly King of Horror. A disgusting motherfucker who could manipte her enemy''s flesh and bones if the condition is right."


    "And the other is ranked nine, Heavenly King of Crow. No less disgusting bastard who could manipte his enemy''s mind and soul with ocr ability."


    "I got caught by Crow''s illusion once, and he molested me, even asking me to bear his children because we are both bird-type Profound Beasts..."


    "I will kill that shameless ck birdter!"


    "Language..." Yu Long couldn''t help but sigh.


    Tempest, we have a child with us right now.


    Fortunately, Cami doesn''t seem to care. She was ''solely'' focused on getting the treasure more than anything.


    Even then, Yu Long was interested in the Heavenly King of Horror and Heavenly King of Crow. They are strong, but their powers have yet to mature.


    Especially the Heavenly King of Horror.


    Yu Long believed she was a rare-type spider called Queen de Spider.


    The power to manipte flesh and bones is death-like, but Yu Long knew where it originated. Ites from quite a troublesome mutated creature.


    They arrived at the goldenke a minuteter and realized it was bigger than expected. Surprisingly, this wasn''t the Dead Star Lake.


    Tempest furrowed her brows, "Godmaster, they are fighting!"


    Yu Long gazed ahead and saw some beasts fighting against a ten-meter-tall ck crow. The fight is weird because none of these beastsnd a hit on the crow, attacking their fellowpanions instead.


    Meanwhile, not far away. Yu Long also spotted mangled flesh and bones shaped like a golem.


    The flesh is squirming, and the bones are cracking.


    "Disgusting..." Tempest squinted her eyes.


    Even Cami didn''t like what she saw as she growled coldly, swiping her sword-like to the rocky ground to sharpen it.


    Yu Long shook his head gently, "The golem is not our problem."


    "That is our problem." He pointed at the giant white spider with de-like legs. The spider hid within a pile of bones, camouging.


    But how could the spider hide from Yu Long''s eyes?


    Tempest looked down, "Godmaster, let me kill her."


    "No." Yu Long tly replied. "Not now."


    "Don''t forget about our goal."


    "Get the lotus first."


    Rawr!


    As the fierce beasts are busy fighting with the Heavenly King of Crow and Heavenly King of Horror, Cami bursts through all the woods and sends several trees flying.


    Tempest descended, dive-bombing the area with a violent tornado. It hides her presence.


    On the t side of Cami''s tail, Yu Long stood and waited for the C-Rex to reach enough momentum.


    "Now!" Yu Long said, and Cami flicked her tail like a whip.


    Woooosh!


    Yu Long is flying like a cannonball, breaking the sound barrier.


    He definitely caught the attention of the still-fighting beasts, but their realization was ''instantly'' cut short when the golden blue lotus disappeared from their sight.


    Some beasts have enhanced vision simr to the Heavenly King of Crow, but they still couldn''t believe their eyes.


    How did the treasure they fought over suddenly disappear like that?


    Yu Longnded on the other side of the goldenke and stared at the green light in his left palm. The Sky Poison Pearl''s harvesting speed on medicinal herbs increased significantly after fusing into one.


    He prayed into the Sky Poison Pearl and analyzed the golden blue lotus''sposition. After a few moments, he sighed because the herb was useless to him.


    Why useless?


    Well, it could only help Profound Beast to promote their bodies to a higher rank. The effect would be better if Yu Long refined it into a pill, but that''s it.


    That exins why the mutated beasts and Heavenly Kings fight over this lotus.


    ROAR!


    The flesh-bone golem suddenly rushed toward Yu Long.


    The Heavenly King of Horror must have realized Yu Long''s trick.


    Watching the behemothing for him, Yu Long smiled and snapped his finger casually. Thunderfire wings appeared behind his back and swirled, creating a field force.


    BOOM!


    The field force and flesh-bone golem shed, and thetter lost because Yu Long made the field force with the power of lightning and fire that damaged the golem''s body.


    Of course, this wasn''t enough to kill the golem.


    Yu Long gazed at the pile of bones far away, seeing it quiver slightly.


    "Let''s see how tough you''re." He said while controlling the thundefire wings. The wings be thinner and sharper, glowing with faint sharpness.


    "sh Step." Yu Long walked forward and moved, leaving his afterimages everywhere. When hended on the ground, several bright purple lines appeared on the golem''s body and caused it to explode with a pir of light.


    BOOM!


    "Not a shabby move, I should name it..."


    "What about¡­ Thunder Phoenix Dance?"


    "DAMNED HUMAN!" Someone shouted at Yu Long.


    "Hmm?" Yu Long turned around and saw the Heavenly King of Crow ring at him.


    Heavenly King of Crow has taken control of his enemies'' minds, turning them into loyal puppets. He was angry and pushed his ability to the limit.


    "Kill him!"


    ROAR! ROAR!


    The mutated beasts charged at Yu Long.


    Yu Long whistled, seeing a ck shadow approach the mutated beasts with a fiery appearance.


    RAAAAAWWWRRR!


    Cami appeared and shed through the mutated beasts, rampaging with all her might.


    After killing them all, she waved her sword-like tail and roared proudly at Yu Long as if saying she was a good girl.


    "Haha~!" Yu Longughed joyfully.


    How adorable.


    BOOOM!


    The Heavenly King of Horror finally exposed herself off the bone piles and stood beside the Heavenly King of Crow.


    They faced Yu Long and Cami with solemn expressions.


    "Sword-Tailed Dragon, and human... It is unusual." Said the Heavenly King of Horror. "Crow, can you handle the human?"


    "Hmph, he''s just a mere lucky human." The Heavenly King of Crow narrowed his eyes at Cami.


    "What about you? Can you handle the Sword-Tailed Dragon?"


    "I can. It will be two against two."


    "And we will win..."


    "WRONG, YOU FOOL!" Tempest abruptly appeared above Cami.


    "IT WOULD BE THREE AGAINST TWO!"

    Chapter 245: True Darkness and Heavenly Punishment


    I have added this fanfic to my P4treon Page. You can support me and read advanced chapters there. It motivate me to write more chapters for you guys!


    Link: /NineClouds69


    --- Chapter 242 ---


    The Heavenly King of Horror and Heavenly King of Crow grimaced at this situation. They didn''t expect Tempest to appear and ruined the bnce of the fight.


    They knew Tempest. She was the 7th ranked Heavenly King, higher than both of them. Her power over the storm is too strong.


    Even the Heavenly King of Crow courted Tempest once years ago, but he failed because she hated his guts. To him, it was a logical thought of breeding between two Heavenly Kings as they are birds.


    On the other hand, the Heavenly King of Horror felt pressured. She needs a direct touch on her enemy for her power to work.


    She usually fired barbed projectiles, yet those attacks weren''t resilient enough against Tempest''s power to generate storms. Yes, it was a direct counter to her ability.


    In Yu Long''s eyes, Tempest might be weak. But it was different for these Heavenly Kings.Simply put, Tempest is their nemesis.


    "Tempest..." The Heavenly King of Crow''s face darkened.


    "We don''t have conflict with you. Why don''t you retreat on this matter?"


    Tempest snorted, "Dirty Crow, you''re offending my God Master, so in other words, you''re offending me."


    "Do you think I''m a pushover you can repel with just words?"


    "You''re just ranked ninth."


    The Heavenly King of Crow was livid.


    "God Master..." The Heavenly King of Horror frowned. For a prideful beast like Tempest to say such a thing, this male human must be the one who defeated her a while ago.


    ''He was the one who killed Burning Venom!''


    ''Crow, this is not good.'' She used her telepathy ability.


    ''We are outnumbered... And the other side is probably more terrifying than we thought.''


    ''Shut up!'' The Heavenly King of Crow cawed at the spider. ''I will show this human why I got called the Illusion Master.''


    ''Just take care of Tempest and the Sword-Tailed Dragon for a moment.''


    The Heavenly King of Horror sighed. This guy is beyond help.


    Her partner in crime is so quickly agitated.


    "Attack!"


    Even then, the Heavenly King of Horror can''t run. She hurriedly spun in andunched several barbed projectiles at her enemies.


    The Heavenly King of Crow instantly moved, rising to the sky with a p of wings.


    Tempest cawed to create a repelling storm, and the barbed projectiles bounced away.


    "Nightmare!" The Heavenly King of Horror descended, casting a wide area of illusions. His mental power pressed on the ground, putting Yu Long, Cami, and Tempest in a nightmare-like world.


    The surrounding area changed abruptly.


    The goldenke bes burningva, and the lush forest bes a protruding bone forest.


    But the most noticeable change is definitely the sun. It has be a blood-red moon.


    Yu Long sensed the intense re of the blood-red moon and squinted slightly. This illusion field was ''interestingly'' not created to overwhelm the enemy''s senses but to affect the world.


    It''s like altering reality but in a concentrated area.


    "Hmm, so this is a Domain Expansion." Yu Long mumbled to himself.


    Cami warily looked around and stayed close to Yu Long. Although she wasn''t very good at the mental field, her mother was ''always'' the one who shattered this particr ability.


    She has yet to develop her tyrannical power, not to be affected by illusion or other mental power.


    Tempest also put on a troubled look, ''Tch, I didn''t expect Dirty Crow to develop such an ability.''


    ''This is annoying.''


    The Heavenly King of Crow appeared in the sky,ughing at them.


    "Kekeke~! How is my ultimate power?"


    "I was nning to use this on the strongest Heavenly King, Greed, but you forced me to use it early."


    "Be proud, you three. You will be the first to experience my atrocity!"


    Yu Long dug his right earzily, "Third-rate Domain like this isn''t worthy of my time."


    "I will give you... How about five seconds? To take off the domain, or you will regret it."


    "Hmph! You still dare to be arrogant in my absolute presence?" The ck crow mocked Yu Long. "So be it. Let me show you the ugliest side of your pitiful heart, human!"


    ''Oh, no.'' Tempest paled upon hearing the stupid crow''s words.


    The Heavenly King of Crow made a grabbing gesture with its ws and caused Yu Long''s body to shake a little.


    "HEART BREAK!"


    All of a sudden, the world changed again.


    "YOU!" The ck crow''s voice trembled.


    "WHAT ARE YOU?"


    "HOW COULD YOUR HEART HAVE SO MUCH DARKNESS?!"


    As if the Heavenly King of Crow had seen a frightening sight, he looked at Yu Long like a monster. Yes, an evil monster that shouldn''t exist and live in this world.


    Unfortunately, the Heavenly King of Crow couldn''t cancel his technique and triggered apocalypse-like changes in his Illusion Domain.


    Kacha!


    The sound of breaking ss reverberated.


    ROOOOOOOOOOOOARRR!


    With Yu Long as the center, countless shadows burst out and appeared with monstrous looks. Each shadow is towering, taller than the Heavenly King of Crow, who hovered in the sky.


    Everyone''s eyes widened in fear.


    Cami whimpered nervously, lowering her head and covering it with her tail.


    Yu Long nced at the shadows, "Me?"


    "I Am the King!"


    BOOOOOM!!


    The illusion domain exploded, and the Heavenly King of Crow shrieked with bloody eyes. Mental fatigue is excruciating to the ck crow as it sears right into his brain.


    Too much information.


    After invading Yu Long''s heart, the Heavenly King of Crow only peeled ayer but caused him to end in misery. What lies inside that firstyer is anotheryer of darkness, darker than anything he had ever seen.


    "AAAAAAARRGHHHH!" The ck crow roared in pain.


    "STOP!"


    "STOP!"


    "MAKE IT STOP!"


    Relief.


    He needs relief.


    Poof!


    In the end, the Heavenly King of Crow decided to blow his own head and killed himself in the process.


    Looking at the once haughty and mighty ck crow''s state, everyone felt a chill in their spines.


    Just what does the ck crow see in Yu Long''s heart?


    No one knows except Yu Long himself.


    Yu Long indifferently nced at the ck crow''s corpse, "I warned him already."


    "He didn''t listen to me at all." He sighed helplessly.


    Yu Long extended his hand and turned the ck crow''s body into light particles before condensing it into an essence sphere. He looked at the shivering mess of a spider.


    "You. Why don''t you fight?" He smiled at the Heavenly King of Horror.


    The Heavenly King of Horror''s body shook as she lowered her head and said, "God Master, please spare my life."


    "I''m just a small creaturepared to you..."


    "P-Please be merciful for once... Just this once."


    "I will reform myself."


    Yu Long smiled, "Reform yourself? That''s funnying from a beast who fed upon children''s corpses and spines."


    "Yes, I know how your ability develops, little spider."


    "After all, I''m the one who killed Flesh Doll and Bone Commander, turning them into Demonic Cores that you ate..."


    "I''m not a kind person myself. I have a fair share of dirty acts." He added casually.


    "But... Answer me honestly."


    "How many children have you killed?"


    The Heavenly King of Horror trembled even more, "F-Five..."


    "Million"


    Tempest''s eyes widened in shock, "Five million... Y-You''re more disgusting than I thought."


    Yu Long was unfazed, "Five million are just humans, right?"


    The spider nodded in fear, "Y-Yes. I also ate other races'' children and killed over thirty million of them."


    "..." Tempest''s eyes be murderous. Although this world ruled based on the survival of the fittest, she still couldn''t wrap her head around the Heavenly King of Horror''s atrocity.


    "Good." Yu Long calmly said, gaining a raised brow from Tempest.


    "God Master, you..." Tempest felt a doubt once in her life.


    Yu Long pointed at the Heavenly King of Horror, "Good, you have farmed an immense amount of bad karma."


    "Now let me kill you and get enough retribution for those unfortunate souls..."


    "No, please don''t!" The Heavenly King of Horror jumped and ran away from the goldenke.


    Unfortunately, she was too slow.


    A purple light shed, and thest thing the Heavenly King of Horror saw was a cold-faced young man on a tree. His golden eyes looked down on her like she was a worm.


    "Thunder Phoenix Dance..." A calm voice entered her ears.


    BOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!


    A pir of thunderfire swallowed the Heavenly King of Horror, burning her to cell levels and making her experience agony. Even her very soul got burned by this heavenly punishment.


    "Karma always bit back." Yu Long gazed down coldly.


    "You reap what you sow."

 Chapter 246: Mysterious Wall, Crimson Eye Mark

    Chapter 246: Mysterious Wall, Crimson Eye Mark


    I have added this fanfic to my P4treon Page. You can support me and read advanced chapters there. It motivate me to write more chapters for you guys!


    Link: /NineClouds69


    --- Chapter 243 ---


    After killing the Heavenly King of Horror, Yu Long extracted her remaining essence and turned it into an essence sphere. Still, he didn''t even touch the essence sphere and threw it into the Kaiju World instead.


    He doesn''t want to eat that dirty essence.


    Yu Long sh-stepped and arrived by Cami''s side.


    The young C-Rex was taken aback and retread by a few steps.


    "What? Are you afraid of me now, Little Cami?" Yu Long said to the young C-Rex with a teasing smile.


    R-Rawr!Cami roared at Yu Long angrily, not admitting her fear or obviously trembling legs.


    "What about you, Tempest?" Yu Long nced at the green bird.


    Tempest shook her head frantically, "No."


    "Really?"


    "W-Well, I''m a bit afraid."


    "Hehe, at least you''re honest."


    Tempest broke a cold sweat. She really doesn''t want to be teased by Yu Long after witnessing what happened to the Heavenly King of Crow and Heavenly King of Horror.


    ''Horror definitely deserved what''sing after her, but Crow...'' Tempest thought solemnly.


    ''Just what did he see in God Master''s heart?''


    ''AAAAH! I don''t know anymore.''


    ''As long as I''m on God Master''s side and do his bidding, my life shouldn''t be threatened.''


    Yu Long patted Cami''s head and said, "Don''t worry. I won''t harm you two in any way."


    "I''m a man of character."


    "Let''s continue our way to the Dead Star Lake. The others should have waited for us there."


    With that, the three continued their journeys. They faced some mutated beasts on the way, but nothing Cami couldn''t beat as she only needed one tail sweep.


    One hourter.


    They arrived at the Dead Star Lake.


    "This..."


    "I know theke is full of dark water, but this is weird."


    "The water shouldn''t be that deep."


    "All the indicators are off." Yu Longmented at the sight of Dead Star Lake. Like in Burning Venom''s memory, the appearance is still the same, but Yu Long could feel a lingering presence now.


    On top of that, theke also gave off a familiar yet unfamiliar ominous sensation in Yu Long''s skin.


    "Cami, Tempest, wait here." Yu Long lightly tapped the ground and prepared to approach theke.


    "God Master, be careful!" Tempest said with worry.


    Rawr!


    Cami roared worriedly as well. Even her mother told her not to get too close to theke.


    There is a scary thing down there.


    "Alright." Yu Long gave them a reassuring look. After that, he vanished with a flicker of lightning.


    Several kilometers away, Yu Longnded on the edge of Dead Star Lake and observed the dark water with Kaiju Maker. Yu Long even used his other enhanced senses to sense what was wrong, but something was ''weirdly'' dampening his ability for some reason.


    It''s not a living being, for sure.


    But an object.


    Yu Long frowned slightly and stretched his hand to the dark water, feeling a substance eating his vitality away. Of course, he quickly suppressed the substance and injected his profound energy inside.


    "Huh?"


    "A wall?"


    Yu Long sensed a spatial wall ten meters deep, which confused him because he didn''t sense any spatial disturbance.


    He closed his eyes and focused all his power on cracking the spatial wall, prying into the dimension on the other side of the wall.


    However, then a pair of demonic ck eyes with red sclera stared back at Yu Long.


    BOOM!


    Yu Long red at the demonic ck eyes and shed with mental power, causing a spark in the void.


    BAM!


    Dead Star Lake started bubbling, and a jet stream exploded out.


    Yu Long pulled his hand off the water and looked at it solemnly, "That was weird..."


    On the back of Yu Long''s right hand is a crimson eye mark encased in ck me.


    At first, Yu Long thought it was a curse.


    But no.


    Yu Long could feel incredible powering from the crimson eye mark, and it actually increased his strength by 10%.


    Don''t look down on a 10% increase in power. Yu Long''s strength is boundless in the eyes of others.


    Still, to increase Yu Long''s strength by 10%, something is definitely special about it.


    Yu Long analyzed the mark with Kaiju Maker but found nothing special about it. "Just what is this mark?"


    He tried a few methods to erase the mark, even cutting his hand and growing it back. Still, the crimson eye mark still exists.


    "It seems I was stuck with this mark until I found the correct method to erase it." He sighed helplessly. "I should ask for Shizu''s help. She should have some knowledge about this matter."


    Yu Long returned his gaze to theke and found it calm like before as if the explosion never happened. He stuck his hand in the water and used profound energy to pry deeper into the spatial wall.


    "The wall disappeared??"


    "What the fu..."


    "Did someone y a prank on me?"


    "This is getting weirder and weirder." Yu Long rubbed his chin, pondering his next move. After a few minutes, Yu Long did the unthinkable and left some of his Kaiju.


    Of course, he did it in a discreet way possible.


    He''s setting a trap.


    ''Xaca, Borne, hid yourself well. I want you to wait if there is more reaction in the Dead Star Lake.'' Yu Long ordered while turning his back on theke, returning to Cami and Tempest''s side.


    ''Understood/Got it!'' 2x.


    Two voices echoed in Yu Long''s head.


    ...


    ...


    Yu Longnded near Cami and said, "Let''s check the Star River. I hope we can catch some Demonic Cores there."


    "God Master, are you alright?" Before they could continue, Tempest asked out of worry.


    Yu Long waved his hand, "Do I look Injured, Tempest?"


    "Don''t worry much. Theke might be dangerous for you guys, but it doesn''t put much strain on me."


    ''Well, except for this unknown mark.''


    Cami gazed at Yu Long from top to bottom before nodding her armored head in satisfaction.


    They went down the nearest water channel and spotted some mutated by the river, using their profound energy like a line to fish something. The sight looksical, and Yu Long couldn''t help butugh.


    "Haha... They are so funny." Yu Long said honestly.


    Imagine seeing a freaking bear using a tree as a fishing rod and fishing on the river. The level of absurdness is not for mon'' eyes to see.


    Fortunately, Yu Long has seen a lot of things in this world.


    "By the way, Tempest, do you know anything about this mark?" Yu Long showed the Crimson Eye Mark at the green bird.


    Tempest hovered beside Yu Long and answered, "I think... I''ve seen this mark before."


    "Where?" Yu Long was intrigued.


    "Heavenly King..." Tempest answered unsurely.


    "Greed."


    "The first-ranked Heavenly King? How did he possess this mark?" Yu Long was confused.


    Tempest shook her head gently, "I also don''t know. The Heavenly King of Stone challenged the Heavenly King of Greed once, and thetter said only someone with the King''s Mark could defeat me..."


    "He then showed a small crest on his chest, which exactly looks like the mark on your hand."


    Cami suddenly stopped, roaring at Yu Long.


    Rawr!


    Yu Long nodded at Tempest and looked ahead, "Hmm, we have arrived at the Star River? But this spot looks dested."


    Rawr!


    Cami tapped her tail on the ground.


    "This is the spot you stayed on with your mother usually?"


    Cami nodded, searching for something. Her eyes lit up, and she threw an object at Yu Long.


    Yu Long stretched his hand and caught a metal rod carved meticulously with runic characters. "It''s sky blue and looks made from clear ice crystals."


    Rawr!


    Cami roared at Yu Long and pointed at the river, seemingly telling him to fish for her.


    "..." Yu Long''s mouth twitched.


    "Girl, I''m not your servant." He pinched her cheek slightly.


    Wuwu~!


    Cami sulked and buried her head in the piles of wood.


    Tempest giggled at this scene.


    "Fine, fine." Yu Long sighed and jumped off Cami''s back. He walked to the Star River and examined the water first.


    It feels like Dead Star Lake, and there is even a connection with the spatial wall underneath, but it is weaker and unstable.

 Chapter 247: Yu Long, The Master Fisherman

    Chapter 247: Yu Long, The Master Fisherman


    I have added this fanfic to my P4treon Page. You can support me and read advanced chapters there. It motivate me to write more chapters for you guys!


    Link: /NineClouds69


    --- Chapter 244 ---


    Yu Long stared at the steady-running river and sighed, "Even if I force myself into the other space, I wouldn''t get anywhere."


    "Fishing, huh? I used to fish near the Yu n''s residence and catch trout as a training method, well for lunch, too..." He added while staring at the icy blue rod.


    Tempest transformed into her human form and said, "God Master, do you want me to demonstrate how to fish on the Star River first? Although my skill is not the best, I usually got some good catches."


    "Sure." Yu Long searched for a cozy area and found a clean gray rock to sit on.


    Tempest conjured a fishing rod from profound energy, enhancing it further with her wind control. After that, a fortified line, a feather-shaped sinker, and hooks were ''skillfully'' added to her fishing rod.


    Yu Long watched this, nodding in appreciation because Tempest''s control over energy wasn''t horrible.Tempest breathed in and out, looking very serious. Yu Long was sure she was praying or something in her heart, and then the green bird cast her first attempt.


    The hook fell with the sinker, entering the unstable spatial wall and passing through it sessfully.


    "I see..." Yu Long realized something.


    "Since the line is thin. It could pass through the unstable spatial wall and then catch the Demonic Core (Essence Sphere)."


    "Since it''s also constantly connected to the fishing rod, the line is always supplied with profound energy and acts as a bait on the hook."


    "The sinker... How weird, why are you adding sinker, Tempest?"


    "Sinker?" Tempest tilted her head. "No, God Master. The feather is actually a bobber."


    "The space within the Star River is inflexible. We usually added a bobber so we could detect the disturbance."


    "Howplicated..." Yu Long honestlymented.


    Tempest agreed with Yu Long''s casual words but couldn''t say anything about this method. It was proven effective for sixteen years, which says things about this fishing technique.


    There is a saying in the Demonic Star Secret Realm.


    To get things in this secret realm, one needs two things.


    A great luck.


    And master the art of fishing.


    Kreak!


    Tempest''s fishing rod bends sharply.


    "I got a bite!" Tempest excitedly said, pulling her fishing rod with all her might.


    Boom!


    The Star River spewed a small water pir, revealing an essence sphere with a clear green color. It was a small essence sphere, but looking at Tempest''s happy face, it was probably the one she needed.


    "Yes, the wind element one... And this glow, I got the rare grade!" The green happily hugged her catch.


    Yu Long was confused this time and asked, "There is a grade for Demonic Cores?"


    He was the one who created these essence spheres in the past but never knew there was a ssification on them.


    Tempest cleared her throat and replied, "Yup, there is."


    "They are specified from elements, shine, and kind."


    "Elements are ''naturally'' represented by the Demonic Core''s color. As you can see, green is wind, red is fire, blue is water, yellow is earth, etc."


    "There are cases of double elements like Burning Venom''s, but it was quite rare."


    "Shine determines the grade as white means it was the lowest, green means umon, blue is magical, yellow is rare, purple is epic, orange is unique, and red is the highest."


    "As for kind, they are patterns that determine Demonic Core''s origin."


    "One striped usually means ites from beasts."


    "Two stripes means ites from a humanoid creature."


    "Three-striped means ites from spiritual creatures."


    "Four-stripped... I never saw it, but rumor said the Heavenly King of Greed got it once ten years ago."


    Yu Long''s mouth twitched because the ssifications were random. He never specified things when creating the essence sphere.


    Stripes aren''t the only patterns on the essence sphere because they always appear random. Sometimes, they could be stars or dots and shines mean nothing.


    It all depends on the raw essence Yu Long harvested and condensed from.


    The element part is correct, though.


    Yu Long yed around with the ice crystal rod and created a line with a sinker and hooks attached, casting it casually. His childhood memory ovepped with the sight of a steady-running river.


    At the same time, a ''certain'' memory of his past life shed.


    "Fishing isn''t just about throwing bait at fish, Hayate." Anky-looking man sat by theke. He looks handsome in futuristic armor, but unfortunately, one of his arms is prosthetic.


    "You must feel every movement near the line, the vibration and everything."


    "Don''t be tempted by the small bite of the fish. Let it taste your delicious bait before reaching the hook and sending itself to your front door."


    "Just the way life is, you shouldn''t be curbed by brief temptation..."


    "There is a brighter chance in the future."


    "I don''t say this as one of your only friends. I say this as an older brother to his younger brother."Thenky-looking man grinned at Yu Long.


    No, he grinned at Hayate, specifically.


    Yu Long''s heart shook suddenly, "Wait, don''t tell me..."


    ZZZZTTT!


    "God Master! The line! Something bit the hook!" Tempest hurriedly said to Yu Long, awakening him from his stupor.


    Weirdly, the icy blue rod and Yu Long don''t look restrained.


    He casually tugged the line and pulled a golden-colored essence sphere with zig-zag patterns.


    "Woah. I have never seen such a Demonic Core before." Tempest was shocked and overjoyed for Yu Long.


    Rawr!


    Cami sniffed the essence sphere and roared happily, asking Yu Long to give it to her. Apparently, this one is suitable for her.


    Yu Long tossed the essence sphere away, and Cami bounced to eat it like an adorable puppy.


    He gazed at the Star River again, "It can''t be you, right?"


    "But why are you here? Aren''t you supposed to be on earth?"


    Yu Long vented his frustration by fishing essence spheres, gathering a small pile of it in minutes.


    Tempest couldn''t believe her eyes.


    And Cami basically rolled around in joy.


    Wow, so many Demonic Cores.


    "As expected of God Master, he''s the Fishing Master!" Tempest couldn''t help but praise Yu Long. In her life, she has never seen someone with such a godly fishing skill.


    Not even the first-ranked Heavenly King has such an ability.


    But Tempest''s shock soon turned into numbness.


    Why?


    Yu Long always seeded in fishing Demonic Cores every damn time, like he was attaching a special ma on his hook that attracted these Demonic Cores.


    The sess rate is 100%!


    Besides that, the Demonic Cores Yu Long fished were the rare ones with Epic grade or above.


    "..." Tempest.


    Why are people so different?


    Unknown to Tempest, Yu Long''s sess is ''deeply'' tied to his Kaiju Maker.


    Since Yu Long created these essence spheres with Kaiju Maker, they obviously epted the call of their creators.


    Unfortunately, Yu Long can''t fish everything at once.


    He also doesn''t want to fish weak essence spheres and only focuses on the useful ones.


    Three hourster, Tempest sobbed and rubbed a stick on the ground.


    Cami is also quiet, ncing at the small mountain beside Yu Long with endless jealousy.


    Yu Long smiled at their timid acts, "I will give you two some Demonic Corester."


    "Let''s change the area because this will be myst cast." He added while storing the essence spheres in his Kaiju Dimension. He said that because this part of Star River is basically empty of usable goods now.


    Simply put, the fish is gone.


    "Thest one..." Yu Long cast a little seriously, using his Kaiju Maker''s aura at the hook.


    One second.


    Two seconds.


    Three-!


    ZZZT!


    The line shook violently.


    "This is a big one." Yu Longmented while waiting for the other side to tire out first.


    After a few minutes, Yu Long pulled the rod with 1% of his strength.


    BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!


    Tempest''s eyes bulged at the thing that Yu Long pulled out.


    An essence sphere the size of a handball hovered in the air. It''s a mix of red and purple color, with seven stripes and a golden hue.


    "S-S-Seven Stripped Demonic Core!!" Tempest shouted in disbelief.


    "Oh, I didn''t expect to find this here." Yu Long put on a rare smile.


    "My luck isn''t bad."


    "I actually got Six-Winged Angel''s Essence Sphere."

 Chapter 249: Cheap Golden Toad and Trace of Gold Touch

    Chapter 249: Cheap Golden Toad and Trace of Gold Touch


    I have added this fanfic to my P4treon Page. You can support me and read advanced chapters there. It motivate me to write more chapters for you guys!

    --- Chapter 246 ---


    Heaven is unfair.


    That''s what the Heavenly King of Gold thought.


    He has been fishing in this dedicated Star River for hours and didn''t even get a bite.


    Meanwhile, that damned human only fished for ten minutes and already got a handful of Demonic Cores.


    Yup, Heaven is fucking unfair!


    Yu Long ignored the golden toad''s hateful gaze and fished on the new Star River while investigating the so-called Golden Behemoth''s w made from Ultimate Gold.Yu Long''s hand would move from time to time, pulling the ice crystal rod, but his eyes would never wander off the four-meter golden sword.


    The golden sword isn''t just big but also heavy and sharp.


    Using Kaiju Maker, Yu Long found that the Ultimate Gold was actually an advanced version of Metal Element. It was further enhanced with Earth and Fire Element, making it a three-fusion element.


    However, there was one more variable that Yu Long couldn''t understand.


    This golden sword actually possessed a life.


    Yes, you heard that right.


    The Golden Behemoth''s w is a living organism.


    It''s not a soul lifeform but a genuine biological lifeform.


    As far as Yu Long knows, he couldn''t recall any Kaiju or Mutated Beast with this ability.


    It is like the Spirit Sword God n''s origin.


    Yes, it''s like an unfinished part of Spirit Sword God n, but you get the gist.


    "Behemoth..."


    "Behemoth..."


    The ice crystal shook, and Yu Long pulled in with one session, getting himself a four-stripped Demonic Core. Tempest, Cami, and the mutated beasts cheered in joy.


    Of course, they didn''t dare to be loud.


    They could only celebrate in silence.


    Suddenly, Yu Long gazed at the pitiful giant toad and asked, "Hey, what did you do to this golden sword besides putting Metal, Earth, and Fire elements in it?"


    The Heavenly King of Gold froze on the spot.


    He thought there was something wrong with his ears, but no.


    He stared at Yu Long in disbelief, wondering how the fuck did he know about his secret technique in making Golden Behemoth''s w.


    ''This human... Just who is he?'' The golden toad was nervous. Even though he didn''t look down on humans like some Heavenly Kings, he was actually more wary of their potential.


    Unlike profound beasts, humans possessed a wisdom that allowed them to create things like Profound Art and Profound Artifacts.


    In fact, the Heavenly King of Gold has to steal a secret technique to create his trump card.


    "I don''t know what you are talking about..." The golden toad feigns to be innocent.


    Yu Long narrowed his eyes, "Is that so?"


    "Not even with ten more drops of Evergreen Tree''s Dew..."


    "I got a secret technique from a dying human!" The Heavenly King of Gold cast aside his pride and shamelessly responded. His golden skin is too thick to be affected by this sudden mood change.


    "..." Yu Long.


    "..." Tempest.


    "..." Cami.


    How cheap!


    This guy is too cheap!


    Whatever.


    "Secret technique?" Yu Long questioned.


    The Heavenly King of Gold nodded and then sighed, "Fifteen years ago, I met with a dying human in my domain. He was mute, deaf, and blind..."


    "But who would have thought he possessed genius-level intellect."


    "He created a tailor-made Profound Art for me, even adding his secret technique into it."


    "The secret technique involves bestowing life into an object."


    "You can think of it like a magical spell."


    "But I can''t do it well, and the energy required needs five years to umte."


    "Can you share the Profound Art and the secret technique with me?" Yu Long smiled faintly.


    The golden toad nervously looked down, "I can''t-!"


    "I will give twenty more drops of Evergreen Tree''s Dews on top of the previous one." Yu Long threw another piece of bread.


    "Of course, we can talk it out! Brother Human, you''re quite handsome, haha!" The golden toad immediately lifted his head, gazing at Yu Long with a fawning expression.


    ''Shameless Toad!'' Everyone thought simultaneously.


    ''No wonder Little Demon Empress could rent this fellow.'' Yu Long sighed inwardly. This realization made him realize Little Demon Empress might be a shady profiter.


    But from their previous encounter, she seems fair when making decisions.


    That''s until she decided to kill him.


    Well, the unreasonable part aside, she''s a decent person.


    Yu Long grabbed a jade bottle and dropped the Evergreen Tree''s Dew one by one within the golden toad''s line of sight.


    The Heavenly King of Gold''s breathing took a sharp turn. He was starving for heavenly treasure like the Evergreen Tree''s Dew and believed he could fast for a year or two from this great fortune.


    Yet he was happy too fast.


    The jade bottle didn''t budge from Yu Long''s hand and stayed above the dangerous Star River.


    The golden toad paled, "Human Brother, please don''t tease me like this."


    "You''re making my heart jump by doing that."


    Yu Long lifted one finger off the bottle, and the golden toad panicked.


    "Did you forget something, Heavenly King of Gold?"


    The Heavenly King of Gold immediately realized his mistake.


    He hurriedly held spatial storage, a beagle off his back, and courteously offered it to Yu Long, "Human Brother, the Profound Art, and secret technique are inside this spatial storage."


    "There are also some materials you can use to form Golden Behemoth''s w."


    "Throw it." Yu Long said casually.


    The golden toad nodded and threw the spatial storage to Yu Long.


    Yu Long also threw the jade bottle at him.


    Receiving the items they want, the trade is finallyplete.


    The Heavenly King of Gold cried in happiness. With 40 drops of Evergreen Tree''s Dew, he should be able to obtain Evergreen Immortal Physique and evolve into Verdant Golden Toad King.


    No one would mock his appearance again!


    On the other hand, Yu Long checked the spatial storage and found a gold te with engravings.


    "By the way, is the human who gave you this still alive?" Yu Long asked the golden toad.


    The Heavenly King of Gold shook his head bitterly, "He died abnormally and got his soul and body turned into ashes from an unknown curse."


    Yu Long checked the golden te, scanning it with his Kaiju Maker, and experienced several visions.


    "Dawn of man."


    "Dawn ofw."


    "Dawn of universe..."


    "Gold is eternal currency, in life and death."


    "Buy soul, sell true death!"


    "Huh?" Yu Long blinked a few times and sensed a Profound Art and secret technique imprinted in his head.


    "Profound Art, Eternal Gold Monarch."


    "Secret Technique, Midas''s Touch."


    "Midas..." Yu Long''s expression turned weird.


    "Hey, Goldy."


    "What''s the name of that human?"


    "Uh..." The Heavenly King of Gold was awkward when Yu Long called him with Goldy, but he didn''t mind. This rich human deserved to be his friend.


    "He never gives me his name."


    "But he preferred to be called Dio for some reason."


    "Dio..." Yu Long''s golden eyes be increasingly warm. He looked at the gold te in his hand. "You wouldn''t use that name without reason, especially in an unknown ce. What are you doing here, buddy?"


    "Haa...." He let out a long sigh. "I might know who was behind the Demonic Star Secret Realm now."


    Yu Long ruffled his hair, "Still, I need more clues."


    "Why did the people from my previous life also arrive at the Primal Chaos Dimension?"


    "Didn''t I save them from the Cosmic Storm?"


    "This is puzzling."

 Chapter 250: Eternal Gold Monarch Art, Midass Touch

    Chapter 250: Eternal Gold Monarch Art, Midas''s Touch


    I have added this fanfic to my P4treon Page. You can support me and read advanced chapters there. It motivate me to write more chapters for you guys!


    Link: /NineClouds69


    --- Chapter 247 ---


    Yu Long stared at the gold te withplex emotions.


    He kept it in the Sky Poison Pearl to investigate moreter and decided to see what Eternal Gold Monarch Art and Mida''s Touch Secret Technique had to offer.


    After analyzing the Profound Art, Yu Long realized there was more to it in the Eternal Gold Monarch Art. The concept of eternal gold and a ruler isn''t something one easily grasped, but he understood it well.


    As he previously guessed, the Eternal Gold Monarch Art is mainly about fusing Metal, Earth, and Fire elements. However, that''s just the essential premise because one must train their physique to bear Ultimate Gold.


    Not just any physique, but a Saint''s Physique.


    Like Xia Qingyue''s Nine Profound Exquisite Body.The Saint''s Physique is called the Golden-Blood Immortal Physique.


    No wonder it took the Heavenly King of Gold five years to umte enough energy for Midas''s Touch.


    Midas''s Touch is actually a simple secret technique.


    It utilized Golden Blood, which possessed strong vitality and a wisp of spirituality that could bestow on the Ultimate Gold.


    That''s how the Golden Behemoth''s w is a living being because it has Golden Blood.


    Unfortunately, condensing Golden Blood is as demanding as bing Divine Beast for the Heavenly King of Gold. He needs so many Demonic Cores and heavenly treasures to condense a drop of Golden Blood.


    Hah! So that''s why the golden toad was so happy with the Evergreen Tree''s Dew.


    Yu Long''s mouth twitched, ''This is definitely that guy''s style.''


    Even though the Golden-Blood Immortal Physique is strong, it still revolves around Golden Blood and Ultimate Gold.


    Without them, this Saint''s Physique is only strong physically.


    Yu Long thought he could modify the Eternal Gold Monarch Art, but that would take too much effort. He also doesn''t want to change his body too much.


    He nced at his right hand, gued by the Crimson Eye Mark.


    "This will do, I guess."


    After making his thought, Yu Long''s right hand crushed and became dark necrotic due to an insufficient supply of blood. He didn''t panic and slowly ran Profound Energy into his hands, using the Profound Veins'' points as nodes.


    [Art of Metal]


    [Art of Earth]


    [Art of Fire]


    Yu Long didn''t outright copy the Eternal Gold Monarch Art. He replicated the phenomenon with his own profound arts, which he was more familiar with.


    He also doesn''t need to consume heavenly treasures. His blood is a top-notch heavenly treasure that no one could replicate.


    Vitality exploded and rushed to Yu Long''s necrotic hand, causing it to grow scabs before revealing a wless and fair hand. This hand didn''t match the rest of his body''splexion.


    Kaiju Maker''s Vitality is very tenacious. So, Yu Long''s right hand had undergone a rebirth-like condition.


    Of course, this process is far from over.


    The next step is to allow the blood in his right hand to synthesize with three elements and transform into Golden Blood.


    Dum! Dum! Dum!


    Yu Long''s heartbeat became abnormal, and the Great Way of the Buddha seemingly rejected this physical change, which caused an intense dark-golden glow to wrap around his body.


    "You have nothing to say about my body..." Yu Long coldly nced at the dark golden pagoda atop his head. "I don''t fucking care if Rage God was the one who made you. I''m the king here."


    After saying that, the dark golden pagoda shed with red demonic light before vanishing into the void.


    Yu Long snorted and focused on his right hand back. The Crimson Eye Mark already upied the back of his hand, but that won''t change his n.


    "Settle down..."


    BOOM!


    Yu Long''s right hand jerked into motion. The wless and fair skin gained a gold-like quality and glowed with a mysterious hue. And the Crimson Eye Mark makes it even more mysterious.


    Everyone stared at Yu Long''s right hand and felt instinctive fear.


    They felt that hand could change them forever, not in a good way.


    "..." The Heavenly King of Gold.


    "WHAT THE HELL?!"


    "Human Brother, you''re so fierce. You actually reached the 1st stage of Eternal Gold Monarch Art so fast?"


    Unknown to the golden toad, Yu Long has reached this stage because that''s all he needs. More doesn''t always mean good.


    Yu Long smiled at the golden toad and didn''t exin anything.


    He grabbed a random tree branch and transformed it into pure gold. No, he turned it into Ultimate Gold!


    "Midas''s Touch, not bad."


    ''How!'' The Heavenly King of Gold was speechless this time.


    Even though Yu Long has reached the 1st Stage of Eternal Gold Monarch Art, he shouldn''t be able to use Ultimate Gold instantly. Moreover, Yu Long shouldn''t have a drop of Golden Blood using Midas''s Touch.


    Yu Long nonchntly changed the grip on the ice crystal rod to his right hand and turned the fishing rod into a living gold.


    Not only does this reinforce the already strong fishing rod, but it also grants it the ability to ignore any defense.


    "Here we go..." He pulled the brilliant gold rod, pulling seven-stripped Demonic Core again.


    "I knew it."


    "This thing also corrtes with good luck."


    "What a good technique."


    With that in mind, Yu Long snapped his fingers and created more Ultimate Golds before turning them into fishing rods to fish on the Star River.


    His action shook everyone.


    Wait, wait, please be human.


    Don''t you want to leave some for us?


    Please!


    However, Yu Long ignored their pleading gazes, especially the golden toad, and focused on fishing more essence spheres until the Star River became dry.


    Tempest''s face twitched inplex emotion, ''Is this something a human can do?''


    ''No, God Master is not a human.''


    ''He''s a GOD!''


    Cami roared and pped her sword-like tail on the ground, cheering Yu Long to get more Demonic Cores. To her, the more Yu Long fish, the more she could eat.


    "Let''s go to the next Star River." Yu Long said after getting everything he needed from this Star River.


    Then, they left.


    "Human Brother, wait for me!" The Heavenly King of Gold shamelessly chased after Yu Long.


    He finally found someone reliable to hug thigh on.


    He couldn''t possibly let this chance away.


    Yu Long razed every Star River in the area, getting more mutated beasts following him each session. He actually wanted to test the extent of the lucky effect brought by the Ultimate God.


    He didn''t expect the effect to be this good.


    Yu Long''s rate of getting rare essence spheres is 120% in all forty-two Star Rivers. The drop rate remained even when Yu Long didn''t use the Kaiju Maker.


    Of course, there is no perfect ability.


    Yu Long noticed that the Ultimate Gold''s lifespan is extremely short if he makes too many at once. To make a sturdier and more refined Ultimate Gold, he must expend more importance and Golden Blood.


    After a hundred Star River, he finally stopped and turned around, realizing a swarm of mutated beasts was following him now.


    "This..." Yu Long raised his eyebrow.


    "God Master, they are following us because of your greatness," Tempestmented with a point. "Your fishing skill has tamed them!"


    ''I only learned a new technique, and suddenly, I''m the leader of mutated beasts?'' Yu Long blinked his eyes in amazement. Wait a second. His inner monologue sounds like a web novel''s title.


    Yu Long bitterly shook his head, "I''m not interested in ruling them, but whatever. Cami, boss them around like before."


    Rawr!


    Camiined because Yu Long threw a random duty at her. At first, she likes to boss around these mutated beasts, but there are too many old coots now.


    Some of them are equal to Cami''s mother in strength.


    ...


    At the same time, the Heavenly King of Stone and Heavenly King of Song have made enough preparations.


    "Husband, let''s start." Said the white-furred and golden-horned bison.


    The giant cow with runes all over his body nodded, "Mm."


    "It''s time to summon a GOD!"


    The Demonic Star Secret Realm shook.


    A purple crack appeared in the dusky sky.

 Chapter 254: The Mysterious Heavenly King of Greed

    Chapter 254: The Mysterious Heavenly King of Greed


    I have added this fanfic to my P4treon Page. You can support me and read advanced chapters there. It motivate me to write more chapters for you guys!


    Link: /NineClouds69


    --- Chapter 251 ---


    ''He''s poison to me?'' Yu Long frowned at the Heavenly King of Greed.


    Yu Long possessed perfect immunity against poison and could extract poison into essence particles using the Kaiju Maker. Heck! He could even turn poison into raw power if he wanted to.


    Additionally, he possessed the Sky Poison Pearl that could purify any poison in heaven and earth.


    For the mysterious Heavenly King to say such a thing, Yu Long would think he was speaking nonsense, but the former''s act speaks louder because there was a possibility it was true.


    Yu Long stopped using Kaiju Maker, "What do you mean by poison to me?"


    The Heavenly King of Greed nced at Ares and replied calmly, "Upon invading the Primal Chaos Dimension, these invaders got cursed. They got inflicted with a soul-ridding curse and existence prity curse.""I know you''re stronger, stronger than anyone here."


    "However, if you turned him into essence and swallowed it or even turned him into a Kaiju, you will be affected by the curses."


    Yu Long nced at Ares and noticed his pale expression be dark and grim after the Heavenly King of Greed said that. So, it is true.


    He snorted, "Fine."


    "I won''t turn him into my Kaiju..."


    Ares sighed in relief, thinking he was safe from Yu Long.


    However, then.


    Yu Long suddenly grabbed his head and clenched hard.


    "If you think you''re safe, you''re gravely mistaken." Yu Long said while using another concept.


    [Concept of Manifestation, Profound Handle''s One Million Fold Extra Sensory and Soul Reading]


    "AAAAAAAARRRGHHHH!" Ares''s painful cry echoed on the battlefield.


    Yu Long showed no mercy to his scum-like enemy, using the enhanced Manifestation Aspect from the Yun Family''s bloodline to delve into someone''s soul.


    He didn''t make it a smooth process, either.


    He makes sure Ares tastes every possible pain.


    Ares felt every bit of his soul get pricked by thorns, which also cured him with fiery salts. He also experienced several illusions and enhanced extra sensory, making the pain worse by a million folds.


    The Heavenly King of Greed didn''t stop Yu Long from interrogating Ares with such a method, calmly watching from the sideline. He lifted his hand off Yu Long''s arm and peeked at the purple portal.


    "You better hurry up. The one behind the Hemors will appear soon."He said, warning Yu Long.


    "I know, you don''t have to tell me." Yu Long snorted, and Ares fell into a pool of blood from his crying eyes. Soon, the self-proimed God of War crumbled into nothingness because of Yu Long''s power.


    Since Ares has no use anymore, Yu Long killed him with the power of Darkness. That''s one less trash to worry about.


    It was a shame that Yu Long couldn''t torture Ares more by making him into a Kaiju, but whatever. He obtains enough information to understand why someone like him is in the Primal Chaos Dimension.


    Ten years after Kurogami Hayate''s sacrifice to prevent the Cosmic Storm, the world went intoplete chaos.


    Even though the Human Alliance tried its best to contain the situation and eliminate the cause, things still fell off.


    Dark organizations appear one after another, followed by the invasion of other races.


    Left with no choices, the Human Alliance went to aplete offense and invaded other dimensions before otherworldly races could.


    The Gale Demoness led the Human Alliance, conquering eleven worlds and putting them under the name of Pangea. And the Shrine Maiden of Ao governed Pangea, thest front of humanity against the otherwordly creatures.


    Till now, Pangea still stands firmly for fifteen years.


    Which means it''s been 25 years after Hayate''s death.


    They even sent their experts to other dimensions, searching for resources and knowledge about the vast universes.


    Their situation isn''t the best, but also not the worst.


    Humanity still thrives, but they are in constant war.


    But what makes Yu Long''s blood boil more is the fact someone actually revived the people he killed and freed them into the vast universe.


    This person has never shown his face, but ording to Ares''s memory, he appeared out of nowhere and gathered forces to wipe the Pangea forever.


    No matter how one sees it. It was a personal vendetta against Yu Long, or more precisely, thete Hayate.


    Yu Long brushed his hair back and sighed, "I''ve made too many enemies, and it has be hard to remember them all. However, I always made sure to end them all for good."


    "Not good enough, apparently." The Heavenly King of Greedmented casually.


    Yu Long nced at him and replied, "I''ve destroyed their bodies and souls."


    The Heavenly King of Greed chuckled eerily, "You know that''s not enough."


    "To truly wipe your enemy, a mere soul crush isn''t enough."


    "You need to wipe them from existence, ripping their past, present, and future apart."


    "You need to erase them to the conceptual level, leaving no dust behind."


    "Like you did to Ares."


    Yu Long felt a deep familiarity from the Heavenly King of Greed and questioned, "You sure know a lot about me. Do I know you?"


    "Pretty straightforward, eh?" The Heavenly King of Greed replied with a mysterious chuckle. "You never change."


    "But this is not the time for you to know my identity..."


    "That person ising."


    "And she''s more dangerous than Ares."


    Yu Long shrugged nonchntly and moved his gaze to the purple portal, feeling Hemor''s God from it. There was an additional presence, but he couldn''t tell who it was.


    "Yueli, tell everyone to retreat." He ordered the Ice Fairy afar. Chu Yueli nodded and brought everyone on Yu Long''s side to a safer ce.


    Soon, the remaining people are Yu Long, Heavenly Kings, Yun Canghai, Fu Zhong, Chu Yueli, and Onny.


    The Heavenly King of Greed gazed around the Demon Star Secret Realm andmented, "Watch out for your back."


    "Beside Stone and Song, there is one more Heavenly King you need to watch over."


    "The Heavenly King of Star."


    "He''s an elusive beast who likes to look for opportunity in adversity."


    "He''s probably snooping around, looking for a chance to kill you."


    "Kill me?" Yu Longughed at how funny that statement was.


    The Heavenly King of Greed shook his head, "Star is only ranked 5th amongst the Heavenly Kings, but that''s not because he was weak."


    "I wouldn''t look down on his assassination ability. He always caught one off guard in the most unexpected situation."


    "Then, why did he want to kill me?" Yu Long was confused.


    The Heavenly King of Greed stayed quiet before answering, "Because he was a psycho battle maniac. He wanted to kill those stronger than him in one hit."


    "He doesn''t care who they are."


    "Small, big, male, female, he only wanted to feel glory in chaos."


    "You showed off your might earlier, catching his attention."


    Yu Long''s golden eyes gleamed, "I''d like to see him try, then."


    Kacha!


    The purple portal expanded, creating more cracks in the sky.


    A gigantic beetle''s head poked out and roared, shaking the air with electricity.


    "Hemorqius." Yu Long recognized the beetle immediately. This being was the God of Hemors.


    But then, Yu Long noticed one more presence atop Hemorqius''s head.


    A dark-robed woman stood on Hemorqius''s head, wielding a staff with an ominous yellow gem.


    "Ares died?" The dark-robed woman scowled.


    "I know he was ipetent."


    "Why did the leader send him here anyway?"


    "Leader?" Yu Long squinted his eyes because there were a few mentions of someone who led people like Ares to another world. Unfortunately, Ares never saw this leader''s face or spoke with him directly.


    "Oh, well. I will finish the job." The dark-robed woman pointed her staff at Yu Long. "You should be the one who killed Ares, right?"


    "Enter our organization in exchange for Ares''s life you took, and I will spare your poor existence."


    "I will not ask twice!" She added while ordering Hemorqius to charge a world-destroying attack on its mouth, which caused purple energy to swirl grimly.


    Kacha! CRACK!


    Before the dark-robed woman could say more, the Hemorqius''s neck suddenly crumpled like a soda can.


    BOOM!


    Hemorqius blows up from the inside.


    Yu Long dug his earszily, "Did you say something?"


    "You!" The dark-robed woman''s eyes widened.


    The Heavenly King of Greed watched this and sighed inside, ''You never change at all...''


    ''You''re really Hayate.''

    Chapter 258: Shizu''s Advices


    I have added this fanfic to my P4treon Page. You can support me and read advanced chapters there. It motivate me to write more chapters for you guys!

    --- Chapter 255 ---


    Yu Long felt refreshed after Chu Yueli massaged his shoulders. He didn''t know she was this skilled in massaging technique.


    When Yu Long praised Chu Yueli, she told him it was Shizu''s technique, and she only learned it recently.


    "That maid sure knows almost everything..." Yu Longmented out of sheer disbelief.


    "Of course I do!" Shizu appeared from thin air,nding on the floor near Chu Yueli.


    "Greeting and good evening, Master." She winked at Yu Long.


    "You too, Yueli."Yu Long stared at Shizu and asked, "Are you here to tell me about the invasion, too?"


    Shizu shook her head gently and replied, "The invasion won''t be much of a challenge for you. The problem lies within Asura or Destroyer''s higher lineups."


    "You know about them?"


    "To a certain degree, yes."


    "Ever since my failed reincarnation n, my memory is messy. When I was still the Ancestral Goddess, many forces tried to enter the Primal Chaos Dimension and create havoc."


    "I, the sole observer and ruler, made a straightforward decision and sealed the Primal Chaos Dimension from those influences."


    "In fact, my remaining Ancestral Will should be somewhere in the Primal Chaos Dimension to prevent the higher influence from passing through."


    "The weaker ones already passed, but they aren''t strong enough to threaten those in the Divine King Realm."


    "This... And you didn''t tell me?" Yu Long frowned in displeasure.


    Shizu bitterly patted her forehead, "Sorry... It''s not that I don''t tell you, Master."


    "It''s more like I can''t tell you before the right time. Being able to see more is sometimes more of a curse instead of a blessing."


    "Once again, please forgive me." She looked at him earnestly.


    "As your maid, I can only assist you from the shadows. I had to obey some rules so this universe wouldn''t get destroyed before the eventful time."


    Yu Long sighed, "Whatever..."


    "Given how things are going, there is no need for additional preparation."


    "I will only do things quickly and finish some projects ahead of time."


    "We will break the crisis forcibly when ites."


    Shizu pped, "It''s good that you''re taking this positively."


    "As expected of my Master, you''re ready for all kinds of situations."


    "By the way, have you met one of the King''s Mark Bearers?"


    "You know the answer is yes. Why bother to ask?" Yu Long gave Shizu a weird look.


    For once, Shizu put on a troubled look.


    Shizu sighed, "It''s for the sake of formality. Just think of it as a habit from my 1st life."


    "At the time, I was the only being in the newly born Primal Chaos Dimension."


    "You''d start monologuing to yourself when you''re the only being who ever existed in the Primeval Era..."


    Yu Long was speechless, "Your soul is so strong, a weird habit traveled to your reincarnations. I don''t know if I should be impressed or worried."


    "I''ll be happy if you''re worried." Shizu cheekily smiled at him.


    Yu Long flicked Shizu''s forehead, "Don''t get ahead of yourself. Just tell me what you want to tell."


    "Ouch!"


    Shizu rubbed her forehead with a pained look.


    The flick didn''t harm Shizu. It was painful for a second, though.


    It''s like an idental zap from a stretched rubber band.


    Shizu pouted, "That''s so mean."


    Yu Long stretched his hand again, and Shizu hurriedly retreated.


    "Ehem, so anyway." Shizu cleared her throat. "I''m here to warn you about a few things."


    "First of all, the Heavenly King of Greed should have exined about the King''s Mark. He was telling the truth."


    "Master, you''re the 13th King and the possessor of Rudra King''s Mark, making you the bearer of Howler."


    "Howler''s power focused on destruction, making you one of the strongest Kings. You can experiment with it yourself."


    "Next is Iron Blood Laws. They are one of the Oldean Laws, formed from the continuous ughter of Destroyer''s victims, which could bind one''s destiny and fate to endless fighting."


    "It has no physical restriction on oneself, but you were obligated to ept any battle, whether small or big."


    "To put it simply, it was resentment."


    "Once you reject a fight, you will be marked as a coward and less than a worm. This status weakens your virtue and karma. You will get shunned by the Destroyers, and the world you lived in will suffer utter destruction."


    Yu Long stared at the King''s Mark and mumbled, "Resentment, huh?"


    Shizu nodded and continued, "The Destroyers have wiped countless lives, and your job as one of the Kings is to avenge them."


    "Last but not least, the King''s Trials."


    "I''m sure the Heavenly King of Greed told you not to worry about it, and he''s right."


    "The King''s Trial is more like training. It builds your nature as a king."


    "Given how you alwaysposed yourself so far, your nature as a King is obvious, so worrying about it is futile."


    "Just keep walking like you used to and live as you always are."


    "I see..." Yu Long finally understood.


    "Do you know the Heavenly King of Greed''s identity?"


    Shizu shook her head bitterly, "Normally, I can''t see through his armor."


    "As long as he wore that obsidian armor, I can''t calcte his identity."


    "One thing for sure, he''s your ally."


    "Actually, you should worry more about the Little Demon Empress, Huan Caiyi." She casually dropped a bomb of wariness.


    Yu Long''s expression darkened, "What do you mean?"


    Shizu giggled, "Huan Caiyi is a very stubborn woman."


    "She''d do her best to make you fall in love with her."


    "Hehe, that''s one more harem member to handle."


    "..." Yu Long.


    Seeing Yu Long''s nk face, Shizu was satisfied and waved her hand while disappearing into the void.


    "Good luck, Master~!"


    "That woman..." Yu Long stared at the empty floor dumbly.


    Chu Yueli witnessed this and couldn''t help but smile. If what Shizu said is true, she would do her best to repel that fox-like woman from Yu Long.


    ...


    ...


    Shizu walked on a spatial passage and nced back.


    "During the crisis, you must endure some bad memories..."


    "Master, your Kaiju Maker is Primal Chaos Dimension''s biggest hope to reach a higher stage."


    "I hope you can develop Kaiju Maker past that realm and bring the new epoch as the King."


    "Unfortunately, my Ancestral Will scattered all over or else..."


    "Aih, no, there is no use in regretting my decision," Shizu mumbled.


    "True Nothingness."


    "Let''s see if Ling''er can wield it."


    With that in mind, the former Ancestral God walked away.


    ...


    ...


    Heavenly Demon Cult, Yun Canghai''s room.


    Huan Caiyi sat on the stone chair and gazed at Yun Canghai calmly, "Yun Canghai, good job."


    "Even though you can''t save them and bring disaster to your family, I can see how sincere you are to the Illusory Demon Royal Family."


    "Past is past, present is present."


    "Bringing the Demon Emperor''s Seal here. I will treat the Yun Family in high regard and give them every resource, including the ones I held in thest few hundred years."


    "Thank you, Little Demon Empress." Yun Canghai kneeled on the ground.


    "If possible, I want to tell you about something..."


    Huan Caiyi raised her brows, "What is it?"


    Yun Canghai''s murderous intent shed, "The truth about the Demon Emperor and Little Demon Emperor''s death!"


    Huan Caiyi''s body froze.


    "Canghai, you..."


    "Please listen to me first, Little Demon Empress."


    "I think I know who betrayed and backstabbed the Demon Emperor."


    "This person is also the same person who killed the Little Demon Emperor on the night of your wedding before sending his corpse to the Four Great Sacred Grounds."


    Huan Caiyi gripped the edge of her seat tightly, and the stone cracked under her strength, "Canghai, I already know..."


    "You already knew?" Yun Canghai was shocked.


    Huan Caiyi indifferently looked up, "It''s Duke Ming."


    "I''ve traced everything back to him."


    "However, I didn''t kill him because the Illusory Demon Realm will fall into chaos. I must know people who supported him first before killing their tumor-like existence forever in one swoop."


    "At the same time, Duke Ming also gathered power in the shadows."


    "Recently, he has be quite brave..."


    "What''s he nning?" Yun Canghai is mad.


    Huan Caiyi stared at the Demon Emperor''s Seal and answered, "What else? He wanted to enter Golden Crow''s Lightning me Valley and evolve his bloodline."


    "I''m sure the source of his confidence is the Demonic Cores."


    "Unfortunately for him..." Huan Caiyi''s aura red, and a wind elemental spirit danced around her. "I''vee prepared."


    "Prepare yourself, Canghai."


    "We will drag Duke Ming to hell crawling..."

 Chapter 260: Chu Yuechan vs Poseidon

    Chapter 260: Chu Yuechan vs Poseidon


    I have added this fanfic to my P4treon Page. You can support me and read advanced chapters there. It motivate me to write more chapters for you guys!


    Link: /NineClouds69


    --- Chapter 257 ---


    A howl echoed in the in of Solitude.


    Poseidon frowned and focused on the ancient-looking ship, which shone with primordial light. His eyes locked on the beautiful white-haired woman in a clean blue robe, wielding an icy blue broadsword in her wless left hand.


    "This woman... A native, she actually sliced my 1001th Day Antis." He mumbled solemnly. "How is that even possible? The other natives weren''t even capable of reaching my coat."


    Chu Yuechan opened her eyes and gazed at Poseidon indifferently as she was aware of her surroundings after falling into that mysterious state of epiphany.


    She wasprehending what she deemed the Orthodox Heaven ying Sword Intent, the pinnacle of Heavy Sword.


    She was close to tapping into that ideal realm.However, she couldn''t stay idle when someone dared to say he wanted to kill her master.


    For once in Chu Yuechan''s life, she was angry.


    No, she was furious.


    Chu Yuechan might look calm outside, but rage is boiling in her cold blood.


    She gazed at Poseidon like he was a dead piece of meat.


    Poseidon doesn''t like Chu Yuechan''s gaze, "You lowly creature dare to look God with such eyes."


    "I will pluck those eyes and feed them to my fish!"


    "Come, Megalodon!"


    A jet-ck shark appeared and opened its jaw, breaking out of the blue portal behind Poseidon. The shark is over fifty meters long with a massive body and sharp teeth.


    Chu Yuechan lifted her finger, and the heavy sword Yu Long entrusted to her soared to the sky.


    The Song of Broken Pines is a heavy sword Yu Long made when fighting three elders of the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region, but he has actually never been its owner.


    It was Chu Yuechan.


    She was the one who took care of the Song of Broken Pines and nurtured it with her sword intent, profound energy, and essence blood, developing its spirituality of that Heavenly-grade Weapon.


    In fact, the Song of Broken Pines has undergone qualitative changes in Chu Yuechan''s hand. Calling it an early-stage Divine Weapon won''t be far-fetched.


    "Heavenly Snow Supreme Sword." Chu Yuechan''s eyes shone with a dim blue light. "1st Move, Heavenly."


    Swoosh!


    The Song of Broken Pines released intense cold light and swung down by itself, charging an energy sh at Poseidon''s Megalodon.


    Poseidon felt the threatening oue and waved his hand, sending a sea wave crashing into the void sh.


    But soon, Poseidon realized how grave of a mistake it was to take Chu Yuechan''s attack head-on.


    As soon as the sea wave hit Chu Yuechan''s energy sh, Poseidon only had one thought in mind.


    ''So Heavy!''


    KABOOM!!


    The energy sh broke through the sea wave and swept over Megalodon, turning into mince meat.


    Poseidon''s hair stood up because that was such a frightening attack.


    He looked down at Chu Yuechan again, "The other Star Realms don''t have a person like you. Such an anomaly."


    "Or maybe I''m just visiting the wrong ces."


    "But this isn''t enough to defeat me."


    Poseidon''s body released a frightening aura that caused the surrounding body of water to shake violently. A higher gravity pressure descended on the in of Solitude, causing mountains to crack and the sky to falter.


    Chu Yuechan felt her body be immensely heavier. She stared at her finger andmented, "Heavenly Snow Supreme Sword."


    "2nd Move, Snow."


    Freezing waves hit the in of Solitude, causing snowfall to appear.


    This snowfall looks weird as each snowke carries Chu Yuechan''s sword intent that ys through Poseidon''s gravity control.


    At the same time, Poseidon also felt sharp pain in his head.


    Sword intent isn''t only sharp. It also affected those with weaker minds.


    Poseidon pulled his trident and shed with Chu Yuechan''s sword intent, creating invisible sparks. A carriage made of water manifested, carried by twelve sea dragons.


    "Twelve Days of Destruction." He swung his trident, causing the twelve sea dragons to run toward Chu Yuechan.


    Chu Yuechan waved her finger again, manipting the snowkes to hit the sea dragons.


    ROAR! sh!


    She sessfully shed eleven sea dragons in half, but one sessfully passed through her snowkes.


    BOOM!


    The sea dragon hit the Primordial Profound Ark, shaking it a little.


    Chu Yuechan looked at the Primordial Profound Ark and decided to fly away as she didn''t want to damage her master''s flying vessel.


    Poseidon and Chu Yuechan gazed at each other, separated by half a mile in the sky.


    Battle intents soared as Chu Yuechan held the Song of Broken Pines, and Poseidon''s trident lit up with golden light.


    The first one to make a killing move will win. Such a thought shed in Poseidon and Chu Yuechan''s minds.


    Thus, Chu Yuechan drew her sword decisively.


    Poseidon wasn''t slow either.


    "3rd Move, Supreme."


    "Red Sea!"


    A gigantic manifestation of the Song of Broken Pines appeared, racing to Poseidon. It was moving beyond the speed of sound.


    The seawater around Poseidon turned red like blood, sending a high-pressure jet stream at the gigantic sword.


    BOOM!


    Poseidon''s eyes widened because his red sea was ''utterly'' defeated in the head-on confrontation.


    Every sword move Chu Yuechan made was too heavy, yet she acted like it was as light as a feather.


    The gigantic sword broke the Red Sea and aimed straight at Poseidon.


    It''s two times bigger than Poseidon''s Megalodon.


    Poseidon flicked his tail and swung his trident, wanting to deflect Chu Yuechan''s sword.


    However, it was such a foolish decision.


    It''s like an ant trying to stop a moving car.


    BOOOM!


    CRACK!


    Poseidon''s arm shattered upon impact, and the sword glided through his left shoulder, separating his arm from his body.


    "AAAAAAAARRGGHHH!" Chu Yuechan''s sword intent invaded Poseidon''s body like a curse.


    Normally, Posedon could regenerate any lost limb with the power of the ocean, but with the sword intent there, he couldn''t even muster the strength to use his power.


    Not to mention, this whole experience is ''extremely'' painful.


    Poseidon felt his whole body, soul, and spirit chopped to pieces. He also felt a chill sensation colder than Tartarus.


    He gritted his teeth and roared, which sounded like a scream of ten thousand mermaids.


    Chu Yuechan''s soul shook for a moment, stunned.


    Poseidon''s trident appeared before her eyes, very close to piercing her head.


    "DIE!" Poseidon''s voiceced with deep killing intent.


    Unfortunately, the trident never moved far.


    It just stopped five centimeters from Chu Yuechan''s eyes.


    Poseidon couldn''t believe his eyes. His ultimate attack got stopped just like that!


    Chu Yuechan''s eyes transformed into that of a wolf.


    Wolf''s ears also appeared on top of her head, and feathered wings on her back.


    "Y-You stopped time!" Poseidon bes crazed by this fact.


    Chu Yuechan indifferently pped the trident away from her face, "You can freeze space and time with enough power."


    "You''re simply too weak."


    Chu Yuechan has Freezing Void Lupongriff''s bloodline, allowing her to ''literally'' freeze void. It yed a role in her epiphany when she traveled through a space tunnel, which made her learn more about her bloodline power on top of the sword intent.


    Like the coward he is, Poseidon uses all his powers to run away from Chu Yuechan. A blue portal appeared and tried to swallow the merman, but how could Chu Yuechan allow it to happen?


    This bastard dared to say he wanted to kill Yu Long.


    It was sphemous to Chu Yuechan.


    Before the blue portal could swallow Poseidon, Chu Yuechan swung the Song of Broken Pines with all her might and created a straight white line across the sky, passing through the blue portal and Poseidon.


    "Heavenly Snow Supreme Sword, 5th Move."


    "Instantaneous White sh..."


    Poseidon''s face was that of fear. The white line appeared in the middle of his body, slicing him in half.


    Soon, his trash-like body fell, soiling the earth.


    The blue portal was also shed by Chu Yuechan, shattering into white particles.


    A lone goddess with a blue sword in hand floated in the sky calmly, killing the so-proimed god indifferently.


    In fact, she doesn''t show much expression.


    It''s like she was killing a pest instead of a powerful entity.


    Above all else, she looks beautiful as snowkes fly by.

 Chapter 265: Heavenly Wind Protection Initiative

    Chapter 265: Heavenly Wind Protection Initiative


    I have added this fanfic to my P4treon Page. You can support me and read advanced chapters there. It motivate me to write more chapters for you guys!


    Link: /NineClouds69


    --- Chapter 262 ---


    As the Heavenly Wind Flower came onto the table and changed their n for good, Huan Caiyi asked Yu Long about its details. She wanted to know whether it was viable for the Heavenly Wind Flowers to produce more spores.


    Yu Long replied, "Yes, the Heavenly Wind Flower could produce more spores."


    "It can produce ten spores in one cycle, but we need immense and pure life force."


    Huan Caiyi''s eyes lit up, "Will the Evergreen Tree''s Dews do?"


    Yu Long stared at her and chuckled, "Yes. But none of us had enough Dews to make it happen."


    Huan Caiyi possessed Wind Elemental Spirit after absorbing Evergreen Tree''s dews. She could nurture the Heavenly Wind Flower, but it wouldn''t be productive.After all, Huan Caiyi is only a single person.


    Yu Long also doesn''t want to use more of Kaiju Maker''s power.


    Thankfully, he had an alternative method.


    Huan Caiyi sighed, "I guess the n to spread this flower will pause for a while."


    Yu Long shook his head gently, "No, not really."


    "I was the one who proposed the n."


    "Of course, I have a way to do it."


    "You do?" Huan Caiyi was amazed.


    Yu Long nodded and replied, "The answer is simple. It is the Spirit Gathering Array."


    "Lord Shadow, are you talking about that Spirit Gathering Array Formation?" Fu Zhong asked in confusion. "But that''s just a basic formation array..."


    "Sometimes, the basics are always the best. It''s notplicated and cany a ''good'' foundation to build new things." Yu Long responded casually.


    He snapped his finger, and strings of pure white array runes appeared, connecting into a simplified Spirit Gathering Array Formation.


    "Beautiful..." Chu Yuechan, who had been very quiet, stared at the array formation, seeing it symmetrically shaped like a snowke.


    The snowke reminded her of days in the Frozen Cloud Asgard.


    Huan Caiyi stared at the array formation solemnly. Deep inside, she was shocked because Yu Long made the array with a snap of his finger.


    Every array formation Huan Caiyi knew in the Imperial City needed to make a lot of preparation. A Lot of Preparation!


    Yu Long ignored their stunned gaze and exined, "Spirit Gathering Array Formation is the most basic formation, which means everyone can learn it quickly."


    "It has two main functions, important functions."


    "First, it could absorb the surrounding energy."


    "Second, it could enhance the quality of surrounding energy."


    "Of course, we must ount for the energy consumption, but we can cut it off by using the ''dirty'' part of energy as fuel."


    "Now. An ordinary Spirit Gathering Array Formation won''t help us grow the Heavenly Wind Flower nor produce the spores."


    "However, if we modified the said array formation into this..."


    The snowke-like pattern cracked, but if one looks closely, those cracks are miniature-sized array runes. And those miniature-sized array runes changed the property of energy by twisting it slowly.


    Soon, the profound energy in the air turned into brimming vitality.


    "Such a strong vitality..." Huan Caiyi was speechless.


    "How is this even possible?"


    "Because it''s raw, not purified like the one in our body." Yu Long replied with confidence.


    "What''s the difference, Hu-! I mean, Master?" Chu Yuechan almost called Yu Long intimately but quickly fixed her mistake.


    Huan Caiyi frowned at her, and Fu Zhong chuckled on the side.


    Yu Long didn''t mind Chu Yuechan''s mistake, finding it adorable.


    He stared at the modified array formation and calmly exined, "Every living being has life force or vitality. We obtain it by the course of our life, eating food, exercise, etc."


    "But those actions are actually the literal process of breaking vitality from outside and making it ours."


    "Since we are humans, the process is very efficient as we could eat or inhale them into our body."


    "However, other living beings have different methods."


    "Flowers absorb the energy from the soil and photosynthesize, allowing them to purify raw vitality."


    "Are you perhaps thinking of using the array formation to hasten the Heavenly Wind Flower''s growth?" Huan Caiyi questioned while tapping her finger on the table.


    Yu Long nodded, "Exactly, but we need one more step."


    "One more step?" 3x.


    Yu Long stared at the modified array formation and bitterly added, "The vitality released by this array formation is false vitality because I didn''t fully integrate the energy of nature into it."


    "We need strong catalysts with strong vitality, preferably a nt-based one that could form a symbiosis with Heavenly Wind Flower."


    In Yu Long''s previous life, people used a tree called Small Willow of Life or Underworld Oak, which provided Heavenly Wind Flower with nutrition while thetter protected them from danger.


    Unfortunately, there are no such trees in the Blue Pole Star.


    Still, they could try finding an alternative.


    Fu Zhong stroked his beard solemnly and pulled a small object from his spatial storage. It was a sunflower seed.


    "Lord Shadow, will this do?"


    Huan Caiyi stared at the sunflower seed, "Golden Sunflower''s seed?"


    "This thing is everywhere in the Illusory Demon Realm with minimum sunlight."


    "It was a wild pest that people sometimes used to snack on."


    "Besides Golden Sunflower''s tenacious ability to spread and slightly savory taste as snacks, I don''t think there is something special about them."


    "As far I know, that is."


    "No, this might be our best option." Yu Longughed in joy.


    "Hmm?" Huan Caiyi couldn''t understand Yu Long.


    Yu Long pointed at the Golden Sunflower''s seed andmented, "You said it yourself. This sunflower has a tenacious ability to spread and is basically a wild pest."


    "One Golden Sunflower alone couldn''t generate enough vitality to support Heavenly Wind Flower, but what if there are millions or billions of them."


    "Imagine the whole in of Solitude bing golden due to the Golden Sunflowers..."


    Everyone was stunned.


    They finally realized the usefulness of Golden Sunflowers.


    ording to Huan Caiyi, this thing grows everywhere in the Illusory Demon Realm with minimum sunlight.


    "A match made in heaven." Chu Yuechan couldn''t help but mumble to herself.


    Huan Caiyi agreed with Chu Yuechan and nced at Yu Long, "I will order my people to spread Golden Sunflowers immediately. We should be able to grow them in one or two months."


    "Is that good enough?"


    "For now, yes." Yu Long nodded in agreement. "I will share the modified Spirit Gathering Array Formation with you."


    "We should rename it, though."


    Everyone pondered, but Huan Caiyi instinctively mumbled as she stared at Yu Long''s golden eyes, "What about Golden Bnce Spirit Formation?"


    "Good name." Fu Zhong said with augh.


    "Mhm, it is a good name." Chu Yuechan praised Huan Caiyi.


    Yu Long said with determination, "It''s decided then. We will name it Golden Bnce Spirit Formation."


    "I will polish the array formation, then give it to you."


    "In the meantime, you should contact your subordinates."


    "Understood." Huan Caiyi had the Demon Emperor''s Seal now. Her control over the Illusory Demon Realm is unquestionable.


    Not even Duke Ming could mess with her now, especially with Yu Long around.


    She sighed in relief, "We don''t have to worry aboutmon people''s safety now."


    "Heavenly Wind Flower..."


    "Heavenly Wind Protection Initiative. That should be the name of this project."


    "With this, we are one step ahead to face the invasion."


    "What should we do next?"


    "Visit the Imperial Demon City." Yu Long uttered casually.


    Huan Caiyi instinctively nodded but was baffled after, "Yes, we should visit-! Wait, you wanted to visit the Imperial Demon City?"


    "Is there a problem with it?" Yu Long gave her a faint smile.


    "No, there is no problem." Huan Caiyi replied hurriedly. "On the contrary, I''d like to escort you there."


    "You sound nervous, Little Demon Empress."


    "I''m... not. And you should call me Huan Caiyi or Caiyi."


    "Hehe, that takes time. I''ll stick to calling you Little Demon Empress for now."


    Huan Caiyi felt sour inside, but she could do nothing about it.


    Yu Long still acts defensive around her.


    But this journey is good. Huan Caiyi could be closer to Yu Long.


    After that, Yu Long went to the Demon Imperial City with Huan Caiyi.


    ...

 Chapter 266: Reaching the Demon Imperial City

    Chapter 266: Reaching the Demon Imperial City

    --- Chapter 263 ---


    Annoyed.


    Bitter.


    That''s what Huan Caiyi feels right now.


    After offering to escort Yu Long to the Demon Imperial City, Huan Caiyi thought she would be alone with him on their ''romantic'' journey.


    But who would think her ''fiance'' would bring a woman along?


    Huan Caiyi couldn''t even criticize Yu Long because she was the one who said she didn''t mind him having multiple women or a harem. She fell into the hole that she dug herself.She has never felt so dumb before.


    ''What am I even thinking?'' Huan Caiyi thought, taking a peek at the calm Yu Long. The wind blew his hair gently and made him look particrly handsome.


    Yet from the corner of Huan Caiyi''s eyes, she could see a snowy white-haired woman in a blue-white robe.


    Even though Little Demon Empress was an unrivaled beauty, especially in the Illusory Demon Realm, she had to admit that this woman possessed a rare charm of pure snowy days.


    Of course, beauty is subjective.


    And Huan Caiyi would never admit that other women were more charming than her verbally. It is her pride as an empress.


    ''I think her name is Chu Yuechan... Was it? Her appearance aside, she has strength that exceeds mine, which is more important in this world.'' Huan Caiyi fell into deep thought.


    Yes, beauty is secondary.


    Poweres first.


    That''s a ''basic'' mindset that Huan Caiyi has after living in this world for so long. However, she took it even further after the death of the Little Demon Emperor and Demon Emperor.


    She knew when she must retreat or take a step forward.


    "Is there something in my face?" Chu Yuechan opened her calm blue eyes slightly and nced at Huan Caiyi.


    Huan Caiyi smiled, "Hmm, nothing. I''m just wondering how long you have been on Yu Long''s side."


    Chu Yuechan was stunned by her question. She has been on Yu Long''s side for less than six months. Regarding closeness, she couldn''t stay a candle to Xia Qingyue or Cang Yue.


    However, those six months are precious to Chu Yuechan.


    Those experiences are worth more than nearly her whole life.


    Chu Yuechan even thought she had suffered more in her past life to be this lucky.


    So, when Huan Caiyi asked, Chu Yuechan daydreamed briefly before answering, "I''ve been on Master''s side long enough to know him."


    "It just kind of happened..."


    "Like fate is connecting us."


    "Fate, huh?" Huan Caiyi didn''t expect Chu Yuechan to believe in such a thing. Still, she found it appropriate because being close to a man like Yu Long is fated indeed.


    "We are about to reach Demon Imperial City''s territory." A yawn greeted them from below.


    Huan Caiyi gazed down at the green feather creature she sat on and finally remembered that Yu Long had brought one more person on this journey.


    It was the Heavenly King of Tempest.


    Well, calling her a person isn''t urate.


    After all, this green bird is just a mere ride for Yu Long.


    Yes, that''s right. Huan Caiyi nodded to herself, thinking her vision was correct.


    ''There is no way a carrier bird couldpete with me.'' Huan Caiyi thought to herself. Funnily enough, Huan Caiyi failed to realize that she was part bird due to the Golden Crow''s bloodline in her body.


    "Say... Little Demon Empress, if I''m not wrong, there would be a ceremony soon, no?" Yu Long suddenly asked.


    "Hmm? There is one." Huan Caiyi replied with aplex tone. Her face is stone-cold, though. "It''s called the Hundred Year Reign Ceremony, where all the major factions in the Illusory Demon Realm gather in the Demon Imperial City and celebrate one hundred years of rule by the Demon Emperor."


    "In this case, they will celebrate my reign as Little Demon Empress."


    She stared ahead at the familiarndscape, "Yes, the iing ceremony will be an event of grinding stones between my factions and Duke Huai."


    "I''m sure you know already, but the Duke Huai Faction is relentless against me. They wanted to rece me with Duke Ming, Duke Huai''s father."


    "They are ambitious." Chu Yuechan couldn''t help butment.


    Huan Caiyi chuckled coldly, "Oh, you have no idea. They are like a bunch of hyenas, waiting for me to fall and tear me apart."


    "But you wouldn''t let that happen, right? Yu Long?" She cast a coy smile at Yu Long.


    Yu Long raised his hand and replied, "I will do my best."


    "Still, you must be careful of Duke Ming."


    "He''s a scheming old fox."


    "I know." Huan Caiyi nodded in understanding.


    She and Yun Canghai have prepared traps for Duke Huai Faction and will use them in the uing ceremony. The Duke Huai Faction would try to criticize her for not having the Demon Emperor''s seal.


    Unfortunately for them, Yun Canghai is still alive and kicking well.


    That''s why Yun Canghai and Yun Che didn''t go along with them on this trip. They used another route to reach Demon Imperial City.


    Tempest pped her wings and rose above the mountain range, allowing sunlight to glimmer near the wind barrier she put.


    Yu Long looked ahead and mumbled, "Beautiful city."


    Not far away, a massive city stood and was ''thoroughly'' surrounded by purplish-dark walls.


    One might think such walls will make the city gloomy, but the architecture and buildings inside create a beautiful contrast, like a city in a dark crescent moon.


    On top of that, Yu Long also sensed ancient arrays protecting the city from external influences.


    His sense expanded, watching the people in the Demon Imperial City live along quite well. There is a sense of tension, but all races seem to live adeptly with each other.


    Chu Yuechan also gazed forward and opened her mouth in awe. Such a sight would never happen in the Profound Sky City.


    After all, this peace among races could only happen after thousands of years.


    ''There is still infighting among humans, so I can''t imagine them living along with other races this peacefully.'' Chu Yuechan thought.


    ''Maybe in the future...''


    ''When Hubby unified allnds and became the Emperor...''


    Chu Yuechan believed Yu Long could do it.


    As they approached the city, Huan Caiyi jumped from Tempest''s back and said, "Follow me."


    "From now on, we will enter the Demon Imperial City from a secret passage."


    Yu Long and others nodded, and even Tempest transformed into her humanoid form.


    They followed Huan Caiyi to the nearbyke, watching her part of theke and revealing an underwater cave.


    "Come in, the water won''t make you wet." She said while diving into the underwater cave.


    "But the water is wet?" Tempest tilted her head in confusion.


    "Right?"


    "RIGHT?" She watched Yu Long and Chu Yuechan enter the underwater cave as well.


    "Ugh, forget it."


    Tempest dislikes swimming because, well, she''s a bird.


    There is nothing she could do in this situation, though.


    She dived into the underwater cave and found the water inside allowed her to breathe instead of filling her lungs.


    She swam freely with a smile, chasing after Yu Long.


    At the end of the cave, theye to the surface and are ''suddenly'' greeted by a well-lit cave with an ancient stone door.


    Yu Long observed the cave, "We swam around fifteen to twenty meters."


    "We couldn''t possibly reach the city with such distance."


    Huan Caiyi walked to the ancient stone door, "You''re right."


    "The water we dived earlier is actually enchanted."


    "Enchanted?" They stared at her.


    Huan Caiyi knocked on the door, "Yes, enchanted with space attributes."


    "Simply put, by swimming, we shorten the distance by several miles."


    "Oh, we are also untraceable. So Duke Huai can''t detect our arrival."


    "Your family possess such a secret?" Yu Long was surprised this time.


    "Enchanting water with space attributes..."


    Huan Caiyi''s eyes lit up as this might be her chance. "Do you want to learn?"


    "Yes." Yu Long was curious.


    "But you should call me Caiyi from now on." Huan Caiyi put on a faint smirk. "Yi''er, also fine."


    "..." Chu Yuechan.


    "..." Tempest.


    As expected of Little Demon Empress, she''s sly.


    Yu Long chuckled helplessly, "You got me good. Good game, Little Demon Empress. Good game."


    "Very well, I will call you Caiyi from now on."


    Huan Caiyi''s smirk widened into a smile, "Yes, Yu Long."


    "We are one step closer now."

 Chapter 268: Sky Demon Sutra and Hidden City

    Chapter 268: Sky Demon Sutra and Hidden City


    I have added this fanfic to my P4treon Page. You can support me and read advanced chapters there. It motivate me to write more chapters for you guys!


    Link: /NineClouds69


    --- Chapter 265 ---


    Huan Caiyi was speechless.


    She watched Yu Long read the books about Magi Craft enhancement and pulled some papers. He mumbled unrecognizable words and scribbled on the white papers to devise some form for Mana Cultivation.


    Yu Long briefly experimented with himself, creating a secondary brain in Kaiju World to cultivate Mana. He simted everything one might need to wield such energy and achieved a ''small'' sess after a few minutes.


    After a while, Yu Long''s secondary brain generated a faint white light and appeared very mystical. He smiled because he was able to train Mana now.


    He was cheating, but whatever.


    Now, Yu Long must make it suitable for Huan Caiyi."Give me a drop of your blood." He said to Huan Caiyi.


    Huan Caiyi and the others are surprised by this suddenmotion.


    "Do it. My master will give you his favor." Chu Yuechan, who had tasted Yu Long''s ability, alerted the Demon Empress.


    Huan Caiyi nodded and pricked her finger, dripping blood onto Yu Long''s palm. Usually, blood would stain one''s skin, but her blood somehow floated above his palm.


    Yu Long observed Huan Caiyi''s blood and nodded. Then, he started experimenting again.


    Several minutester, Yu Long sighed and pushed a paper with a Mental Mana Technique away.


    "Done."


    Huan Caiyi''s pretty eyes glimmered in disbelief, ''Exactly thirty minutes.''


    ''He really did it in half an hour...''


    ''Is this something that humans can do?''


    "What are you looking at? Check your technique." Yu Long said while rubbing his forehead. He has used Thought elerations to make this new technique.


    "Oh, okay." Huan Caiyi awkwardly picked up the paper and checked the content. She read it inwardly, reciting the form Yu Long had carefully written and feeling the energy called Mana churn in her head. But this sensation onlysted a few seconds before soothing coldness washed her mind.


    Her mind also gained supreme rity, as if everything that confused her became ''clear'' as ss.


    She closed her eyes and meditated for five minutes, "Amazing."


    "This is amazing."


    She opened her eyes and said, "Yu Long, you''re amazing."


    Yu Long rubbed his nose, "This much is nothing."


    "So, how do you feel?"


    "I felt everything in my life be clear now. If I had to use an analogy, something stuck in my mind has gotten unblocked and allowed me to be free." Huan Caiyi relished this new sensation.


    "Thank you, Yu Long."


    "Also, I''m sorry..."


    "I''ve been a bad host for you. As the Empress, I should think of the bigger picture."


    Yu Long shook his head casually, "It''s fine."


    "Even though you tricked me a few times, none were harmful."


    Huan Caiyi bitterly smiled, "You''re generous."


    "This Mental Mana Cultivation Technique is priceless."


    "I don''t think there is something in the Illusory Demon Realm I could use to repay you."


    "What are you saying?" Yu Long tilted his head.


    "Aren''t we business partners, my cunning fiancee? Helping you this much within my limit."


    "I..." Huan Caiyi doesn''t know what to say. She followed the mysterious voice to befriend Yu Long, but she didn''t expect he''d give her this much favor.


    She felt guilty. Even though people call Huan Caiyi a tyrant, she still has heart and conscience. Being in this situation makes Huan Caiyi feel like she is a freeloader.


    Yu Long stood from his chair and stretched, "Let''s go and check the city."


    "Oh, by the way..."


    "That Mental Mana Cultivation Technique''s name is Sky Demon Sutra."


    "It''s based on your blood, after all."


    Huan Caiyi was stunned by this, "M-My blood..."


    She doesn''t know what to say anymore.


    Hermon sense was broken by Yu Long several times already.


    Lucky is the understatement of her luck.


    Huan Caiyi breathed in and out, "Let''s go."


    "I will escort you guys to the Demon Imperial City."


    Huan Caiyi alerted the servants in the pce, telling them she''d be out for a while with the guests.


    Then, she brought Yu Long and others out.


    Of course, they are in disguise.


    They don''t want to alert the Duke Huai Faction.


    As Yu Long walked in the busy street, he could see several races and humans interacting with each other. Even the children are ying chase and run with no problem.


    Not surprisingly, interspecies marriage is quite normal here.


    Yu Long observed one human-hybrid child, noticing her little physique contained human and lizard demon traits. Her blood is also a mix of a human and lower-grade dragon, which increases her potential to be a Profound Practitioner.


    "Hmm..." He rubbed his chin.


    "What do you think of the Demon Imperial City''s state?"


    Huan Caiyi nced at Yu Long and answered, "Unstable. This peace won''tst long if we don''t wipe off the Duke Huai Faction soon."


    "Don''t worry. Yun Canghai and I have devised a n for them."


    "The only problem is Duke Ming. You have warned me of his cunningness, so I will always be on guard from now on."


    "Good." Yu Long nodded in admiration. "It seems you don''t need my help to clean your country."


    ''If you help us, everything will end in five minutes.'' Huan Caiyi thought to herself. Actually, she''d like to end things quickly.


    Still, Huan Caiyi didn''t dare to ask for too much favor from Yu Long.


    She didn''t have a way to pay him back.


    ''Well, maybe my body is still worth something. I won''t reject Yu Long if he wants to sleep with me.''


    ''I''d be so happy if he did so...''


    ''Ah, I''m being ridiculous.'' She hurriedly shook her head off such a thing.


    Chu Yuechan stared ahead, "Master, I felt a familiar presence from that direction."


    She was pointing at the massive gate far ahead.


    Yu Long and Huan Caiyi stared at the massive gate, and thetter opened her mouth to answer.


    "That''s the Yun Family''s Compound." Huan Caiyi put on a calm expression.


    "I see..." Chu Yuechan was confused by her answer. ''Why did I feel a familiar presence there, then?''


    ''Wait, doesn''t that mean Yun Canghai and Yun Che were there?''


    Yu Long thought, ''They arrived earlier than us.''


    ''But no, this family didn''te from Yun Changhai and Yun Che.''


    ''I extracted Aspect of Manifestation from Yun Che''s bloodline, which originated from a God-level existence in the Primordial Era of Gods.''


    ''A portion of Yuechan''s bloodline ising from the altered bloodline of the Yun Family.''


    "Do you want to visit the Yun Family?" Yu Long asked Huan Caiyi.


    Huan Caiyi shook her head gently, "It''s not time yet."


    "We should go somewhere instead."


    "Oh, where?" Yu Long was curious.


    Huan Caiyi smiled faintly, "Follow me. I promise you this ce will give you a surprise."


    They followed Huan Caiyi to the shocking location in the Demon Imperial City, moving from alley to alley. Then, they went to the underground level by a sewer system and arrived before a gate.


    The gate is made of ck stones and looks very mysterious.


    Huan Caiyi waved her hand, and the fiery purple swirl covered the gap of the gate, forming a portal.


    "This is enhancement?" Yu Longmented in awe.


    "Mhm." Huan Caiyi responded with a nod. "I made this by burning some of the Purple Abyss Stone, which is a spatial resource, with my me and creating a portal to another ce."


    "What lies behind this portal?" Chu Yuechan asked, raising her voice.


    "A City Hiding in the Abyss.." Huan Caiyi answered.


    "Come in."


    As they walked into the purple portal, they suddenly found themselves in a busy area with many people.


    Yu Long''s eyes lit up because they weren''t in the Illusory Demon Realm anymore. In fact, they are on an ind several hundred thousand kilometers away.


    "Wee to the Hidden In the Abyss City." Huan Caiyi introduced the city to Yu Long.


    "This is where all my followers gathered."


    "I''ve gathered them today for you, Yu Long."


    "You''re really ready, huh?" Yu Long couldn''t help but praise.


    Huan Caiyi chuckled, "I will do anything for my people..."

 Chapter 269: Im Caiyis Fiance

    Chapter 269: I''m Caiyi''s Fiance


    I have added this fanfic to my P4treon Page. You can support me and read advanced chapters there. It motivate me to write more chapters for you guys!


    Link: /NineClouds69


    --- Chapter 266 ---


    Upon Huan Caiyi''s arrival in the Hidden City, many people halted their steps and greeted her.


    "Your Majesty!"


    Coming from different races, each has the same reverence toward Huan Caiyi, the Little Demon Empress.


    Interestingly, they should erase the ''Little'' in her title now because Huan Caiyi has obtained the Demon Emperor Seal and has the right to be the Demon Empress.


    Huan Caiyi nodded and waved her hand at them, "Go, don''t mind me."


    Only after that did they move and continue doing their work.Yu Long, Chu Yuechan, and Tempest looked at how calmly Huan Caiyi conducted herself. Her bearing as an empress sure is impressive.


    He looked around and said, "This hidden city is ''faintly'' surrounded by space-time enhancement. It seems you''re expecting invasion before it begins."


    Huan Caiyi looked troubled and replied, "I will tell you about itter."


    "For now, let''s meet the Patriarchs under me."


    "Sure." Yu Long shrugged casually.


    To him, Huan Caiyi''s method of avoiding danger is half-cooked. If Huan Caiyi really wanted to protect her people and herself, a mere 1st level enhancement isn''t enough to hold people like Ares and Poseidon.


    She has talent as a witch, but that doesn''t make her omnipotent.


    After all, she has yet to mature in this field.


    ''Well, let''s see what she had in this ce.'' Yu Long thought to himself.


    Huan Caiyi brought them to a bustling restaurant and stepped onto the second floor after giving the owner a few words. Opening the ordinary-looking wooden door, she revealed a simple room with a circr table.


    Around the table are twelve Sovereign-level Experts, chatting until Huan Caiyi''s arrival. They are none other than the Patriarchs of Twelve Guardian Families under the Imperial Demon Family.


    "Empress." The patriarchs hurriedly stood from their seats and bowed to Huan Caiyi.


    Huan Caiyi stared at them calmly, "Get up."


    "I''ve returned from the Demonic Star Secret Realm and have bad and good news for you."


    "First, the Illusory Demon Realm will get invaded soon. Our enemies are those at the Profound God Realm."


    "They are Gods from another world..."


    The patriarchs were shocked by this revtion.


    "This... Empress, what should we do?" Asked a middle-aged man with elven traits. He has blonde hair, bright blue eyes, longer ears, and transparent butterfly wings.


    Huan Caiyi nced at the elven man and replied, "You guys don''t have to panic. We have the solution on our side."


    "Yu Long, if you may step up. I''ll introduce you to the patriarchs of Twelve Guardian Families."


    Yu Long stepped forward calmly, observing the so-called patriarchs of the Twelve Guardian Family with a keen gaze. He could see their unique origins, mostly demons or profound beasts.


    Well, half of them were demons. The other half were humans with unique bloodlines.


    Oh, yeah. The middle-aged man who asked Huan Caiyi earlier is surprisingly an Elf.


    Not to the Elf Yu Long knew, but possesses some simrities.


    What makes Yu Long interested in them isn''t their physical appearance, though.


    It''s their physique and bloodline.


    Unlike those experts in the Profound Sky Continent, these patriarchs'' physiques and bloodlines refined to a certain level. They didn''t ''blindly'' train themselves and put their best qualities on a pedestal.


    ''Is he Yun Che''s father?'' Yu Long''s gaze stopped on a sick-looking man wearing a yellow robe. He could feel the Yun Family''s bloodline in him.


    ''Well, the situation is much different than I originally thought.''


    ''I thought Caiyi''s situation would end up like the original, but it seems my appearance caused a butterfly effect, and all the Twelve Guardian Families were loyal to her.''


    He closed his eyes and concluded, ''Of course, there are some rats. Well, they better behave.''


    Huan Caiyi didn''t notice Yu Long''s prying eyes and said, "Okay, let me introduce you to Yu Long."


    "He''s the Leader of Heavenly Demon Cult."


    "And my fiance!"


    The patriarchs were shocked once again.


    For some reason, this was more shocking than the invasion news earlier.


    Who doesn''t know the Little Demon Empress?


    She was the ruler of the Illusory Demon Realm. She possessed immense power and beauty that made one kneel in reverence.


    However, it was a public secret that Huan Caiyi''s rtionship was shrouded in misery.


    On the happy day of Huan Caiyi''s wedding, her soon-to-be husband disappeared mysteriously and never appeared again. Many people made bold assumptions, but most believed that she killed him herself.


    After that, hundreds of years passed, and Huan Caiyi became distant and cold, making her feared among the people. It was the beginning of her Tyranny, or so people thought.


    However, they didn''t dare to say it out loud.


    But here, Huan Caiyi suddenly announced this random young man was her fiance. Yes, Yu Long looks handsome, but his appearance means nothing in this cursed world.


    Yu Long rubbed his nose and said, "Don''t look at me intensely like that. I am not interested in a bunch of old guys..."


    "..." The patriarchs. Their mouths twitched simultaneously.


    Huan Caiyi shook her head helplessly, "Don''t look down on Yu Long just because he was young. He can kill all of you in a breath."


    "And no. I''m not joking."


    "Yu Long has killed half of the Heavenly Kings and took over the Demonic Star Secret Realm."


    "On top of that, he also has a way to protect us from the invasion."


    Yu Long smiled at Huan Caiyi''s introduction, "You''re over-praising me, Caiyi."


    "No, it''s more like I''m underappreciating you." Huan Caiyi sighed. Words aren''t enough to describe Yu Long.


    "I''ve never heard of Heavenly Demon Cult before. Isn''t the name a bit pretentious..." An elder with snake-like traitsmented.


    "Don''t tell me you nned to take over Her Majesty''s position?"


    After hearing this horrendous usation, Yu Long couldn''t help but chuckle in amusement.


    "Haha, what a dumbass."


    "What did you say?" The elder was angered.


    "Her Majesty, please don''t trust a random man easily!"


    Huan Caiyi''s expression darkened, "Helian Kuang, are you implying that this empress is charmed?"


    "Do you think I was ''easily'' enamored that I couldn''t distinguish between wrong and right?"


    Helian Kuang''s face lost its color. He coughed awkwardly and exined himself, "No! Of course not, Empress!"


    Yu Long chuckled even more at this, "Haa... So funny."


    "A little worm is daring to ask me such a thing."


    "Listen, If I want to, I can take over the Illusory Demon Realm in less than a day. I didn''t do it because that would waste my energy."


    "Also... I don''t like to be inconvenient."


    "He''s telling the truth." Huan Caiyi added calmly.


    "B-But..." Helian Kuang couldn''t keep his mouth shut. He felt Yu Long would threaten his position if he got too close to Huan Caiyi.


    Swoosh!


    Before everyone''s eyes, Helian Kuang''s body suddenly floated and moved toward Yu Long. They didn''t react and suddenly saw Yu Long holding Helian Kuang''s neck.


    Yu Long lifted Helian Kuang andmented, "Your neck feels nice in my hand."


    "What do you think will happen if I break it?"


    Everyone in the room broke into cold sweats except for Huan Caiyi and Chu Yuechan.


    Chu Yuechan stood close to Yu Long and sighed, ''What a bunch of fools. Hubby is trying to be lowkey, but you''re ndering him as a boy toy.''


    ''I would have drawn my sword if Hubby didn''t stop me earlier.''


    Huan Caiyi nced at Yu Long in surprise, ''Yu Long wasn''t supposed to be a rash character. Then, why? Is he doing this for me?''


    Her heart felt a little warm.


    Yu Long stared at Helian Kuang''s eyes and saw them be slit like a snake. The patriarch is humiliated and wants to use his power to overpower him.


    Unfortunately, Helian Kuang''s attempt is childish in Yu Long''s eyes.


    BAM!


    Blergh!


    Yu Long lowered Helian Kuang and kicked his stomach hard, sealing his meridian from activating his bloodline ability.


    Helian Kuang coughed a mouthful of blood and fainted on the floor.


    Everyone stared at him silently.


    Yu Long wiped his hand with a handkerchief and introduced himself despite Huan Caiyi having done it earlier, "Nice to meet you all."


    "My name is Yu Long."


    "And I''m Caiyi''s Fiance."


    "So, let''s have a civil chat, or I will beat you up like him." He pointed at Helian Kuang.


    "Understand?"


    "Yes/Understood!" The remaining patriarchs nodded dumbly like a chicken.

 Chapter 270: Heavenly Wind Barrier Demonstration

    Chapter 270: Heavenly Wind Barrier Demonstration


    I have added this fanfic to my P4treon Page. You can support me and read advanced chapters there. It motivate me to write more chapters for you guys!


    Link: /NineClouds69


    --- Chapter 267 ---


    After beating the Helian n''s patriarch, Yu Long sat beside Huan Caiyi and smiled like nothing had happened. His innocent look makes the rest of the patriarchs shiver because they feel he is a lunatic.


    Of course, Yu Long had his reason.


    The first reason is a shock factor.


    Yu Long wanted to see how much these patriarchs respected Huan Caiyi in their hearts. When he taught Helian Kuang a lesson, they had various reactions.


    Mockery.


    Relief.Fear.


    Lastly, Reverence.


    Fortunately, none showed any sign of a rat''s calmness or panic.


    It probably means the Duke Huai Faction didn''t influence any of the Twelve Guardian Families.


    But Yu Long can''t be sure yet.


    In the original story, some families defected to the Duke Huai Faction and created some mess for Huan Caiyi.


    The world is changing, but not by much.


    Yu Long''s kind gaze wandered around as he yfully said, "What''s with the mood? We are here to discuss important things."


    "Don''t be tense."


    "It''s not like I''d beat you up or anything, right?"


    "Right, Patriarch Helian?"


    "Y-Yes..." Helian Kuang answered with a stutter. He could still taste the sweetness of his own blood on his lips.


    He could only form a crooked smile when Yu Long asked such a tantly emotion-stirring question.


    Honestly, Helian Kuang was unlucky. Yu Long deliberately provoked the snake-like demon and used him as an example when he wasn''t doing anything wrong.


    He didn''t trust Yu Long and worried that Huan Caiyi''s position would get taken by outsiders. After all, Huan Caiyi is thest descendant of the Imperial Demon Family.


    There were the Demon Emperor and Little Demon Emperor in the past, but they no longer exist.


    Huan Caiyi tapped her finger on the table and said, "Okay, stop teasing him, Yu Long."


    "I think Patriarch Helian already learned his lesson."


    "We should focus more on important things."


    "The invasion."


    As Huan Caiyi finished her words, everyone moved their gazes to her, including the awkwardly embarrassed Helian Kuang.


    At the same time, Huan Caiyi nodded in satisfaction now that their eyes were finally on her. She exined the n of using the Heavenly Wind Flower and the Golden Bnce Spirit Arrays to create barriers around various settlements around the Illusory Demon Realm.


    Some patriarchs doubted this method, but Yu Long''s snort was enough to convince them.


    Huan Caiyi acknowledged their doubt and asked Yu Long whether they could grow the Heavenly Wind Flower near the Hidden City to show them its effect.


    Yu Long agreed, "But we still need the Golden Sunflower''s seeds."


    "Golden Sunflower''s seeds?" The face of patriarchs changes.


    Before this sudden gathering, Huan Caiyi ordered them to gather Golden Sunflower''s seeds. In fact, they are carrying several tons of sunflower seeds in their spatial storage right now.


    Huan Caiyi stared at their confused expression and answered, "That''s right, the Golden Sunflowers are the key to our survival."


    "It will provide the Heavenly Wind Flower with enough nutrients to grow and produce more spores."


    "So, it''s like this..." They finally understood hermand.


    Knowing this, they ced several bags of seeds on the table.


    Yu Long nced at Tempest andmented, "Tempest, take the seeds and spread them over the ind."


    "Okay~!" Tempest hurriedly nodded, grabbing the Sunflower seed bags and disappearing from the room.


    "Wait, this power... Don''t tell me she is." The Patriarch of the Elf n stared at the empty spot beside Yu Long in awe.


    "Yes, Heavenly King of Tempest." Huan Caiyi casually remarked.


    This revtion sent shivers down their spines.


    Even though the Patriarchs of Twelve Guardian Families are the strongest of ''strongest'' experts in the Illusory Demon Realms, the Heavenly Kings are known as more powerful than them.


    Heavenly Kings not only possess a higher cultivation base but also have a set of unique abilities. These unique abilities set them apart from ordinary cultivators, which made only an expert like the Little Demon Empress could contest against them.


    Once again, they felt great fear for Yu Long. Since the Heavenly King of Tempest obeyed Yu Long, it confirmed that he had killed some, as Huan Caiyi said.


    They didn''t know what happened in the Demonic Star Secret Realm, so they could only imagine how terrifying Yu Long was.


    Unfortunately, no matter how much they imagined, they wouldn''t know the depth of Yu Long''s power.


    Yu Long ignored theirplicated gazes and appeared on top of the restaurant.


    Huan Caiyi, Chu Yuechan, and the Patriarchs followed.


    They watched the green breeze scattering the sunflower seeds around the ind.


    Yu Long pulled one Heavenly Wind Spore and injected it with his vitality to kickstart its growth. After that, he snapped his finger and created a Golden Bnce Spirit Array Formation around the Hidden City.


    Swoosh~!


    Huan Caiyi and the Patriarchs could feel arge amount of energy flowing out of the earth, enriching the Golden Sunflower''s seeds to grow.


    Soon, a golden field of sunflowers surrounded the Hidden City and gave a sunny atmosphere.


    The Golden Sunflowers waved gently due to Tempest''s breeze, using rich sunlight to photosynthesize and refine raw vitality from the spirit arrays into the Heavenly Wind Spore.


    Yu Long put the Heavenly Wind Spore under a pine tree, and everyone watched it grow admiringly.


    As the Heavenly Wind Flower grew, Huan Caiyi and the Patriarchs sensed a faint barrier manifesting around the Hidden City. It didn''t just seal the area but also protected them from violent sea winds.


    The best part is their energy sense could go out but go in.


    "What a miraculous flower." Elf n''s Patriarch murmured under his breath.


    Yu Long nced at them andmented, "You can try attacking the barrier if you want."


    "But don''t use too much power because the barrier has yet to stabilize and absorb the surrounding weather. Let''s see, 3rd Level of Sovereign Profound Realm should be enough."


    "Who wants to try?"


    "Me!" A deep voice alerted everyone.


    "Yan Zijing?" Huan Caiyi looked at the middle-aged man in a white-ck martial robe and said the name of the Yan Family''s Patriarch.


    Yan Family is one of Twelve Guardian Families.


    They are one of the Human ns, also known as the Divine Spear n, because every member wields the spear as their weapon. In short, their n is the best Spear Wielder in the Illusory Demon Realm.


    Unlike frauds in the Heavenly Spear Thunder Fortress, the Yan Family is a legit spear-wielding n.


    "Empress, let me do it." Yan Zijing bowed to Huan Caiyi with a determined look.


    Huan Caiyi''s eyes glimmered with a weird light, and she replied, "Very well, go and try it."


    Yan Zijing sighed in relief. He pulled a white spear with a red tassel made of silk beneath the spearhead, "Consort Yu, I will do my best."


    After saying that, he exited the barrier and floated outside.


    "..." Yu Long''s mouth twitched slightly.


    Who the hell is Consort Yu?


    He never told them to call him that.


    Yan Zijing breathed in and closed his eyes outside, focusing on the air before him. Even though the area looked empty, he knew it was the effect of Heavenly Wind Flower''s barrier.


    "Yan Family''s Spear Technique."


    "White Night Dragon Strike..." Yan Zijing''s spear moved like a lightning bolt, transforming into a terrifying white flood dragon.


    ROAR!


    The dragon roared and attacked the invisible barrier, causing it to shake a few times, but that''s it.


    There is no fancy explosion or even spark.


    The barrier mitigated Yan Zijing''s dragon, dispersing among the sea breezes.


    "Impressive..." Yan Ziying watched his attack disappear into thin air and sighed in amazement. "And Consort Yu actually dares to share such a treasure with others."


    "He acts like a lunatic but has the heart of a hero."


    "As expected of a man who could win the Empress''s heart."


    At the same time, everyone inside was shocked by the barrier''s ability to disperse force. The patriarchs are all Sovereign-level Experts, and they knew Yan Zijing''s White Night Dragon Strike was no ordinary attack.


    No one in the 3rd Level of the Sovereign Profound Realm they knew could survive that attack unscathed.


    Although Yan Zijing didn''t use his full power or add Spatial Force, it demonstrates the impressiveness of Heavenly Wind Flower''s barrier.


    Heck! They wanted one for their Family Compound now!


    They stared at Yu Long solemnly. Unlike the previous fears, their eyes are full of reverence now.


    They are convinced.


    They also wished Yu Long and Huan Caiyi a happy marriage!

    --- Chapter 268 ---


    After testing the Heavenly Wind Barrier, the patriarchs have fawning looks on their faces. They couldn''t wait to get their hands on the Heavenly Wind Flower, not knowing how difficult it was to grow one.


    However, Yu Long didn''t bother to expose their ignorance.


    Yan Zijing returned to the rooftop and cupped his hand, "Consort Yu, I''d like to thank you for giving us this chance. Also, I''m sorry if my action offends you."


    Yu Long raised his eyebrow before replying, "No offense taken."


    "To be honest, I was more interested in your spear technique. Thatst attack wasn''t bad at all."


    "You must have refined your spear technique for a long time."Yan Ziying was astonished by Yu Long''s sensibleness. He couldn''t help but re-evaluate him.


    ''It seems he was attacking Helian Kuang to test us earlier.'' The spear-wielding patriarch thought to himself.


    Yu Long noticed the weird light in Yan Zhijing''s eyes but ignored them as he wasn''t interested in his thoughts. He was more interested in getting Yan Zijing''s blood and profound arts for research.


    Anyway, Yu Long could always ask for Huan Caiyi''s help.


    She''s the empress here, after all.


    Huan Caiyi observed this exchange calmly andmented, "As you can see, the Heavenly Wind Barrier has proven its effectiveness and will grow stronger as the Heavenly Wind Flower matures."


    "Am I right, Yu Long?"


    "Mm." Yu Long nodded, not saying anything.


    Huan Caiyi stared at the patriarchs and added, "From now on, your task will be gathering the Golden Sunflower''s seeds, growing them around the important cities and settlements in the Illusory Demon Realm."


    "After you master the Golden Bnce Spirit Array, we can nt the Heavenly Wind Flowers."


    "Are there any objections?"


    The patriarchs nced at each other and shook their heads.


    "No, Empress!"


    Huan Caiyi nodded, "Good. We can start on another matter now."


    Everyone returned to the private room, taking their seats.


    Huan Caiyi eyed the patriarchs and exined, "In the uing Hundred Years Reign Ceremony, I''m nning to uproot Duke Huai Pce and its supporters."


    The patriarchs were shocked. They couldn''t believe their ears for a second.


    Cough!


    Yun n''s current patriarch, Yun Qinghong, coughed, "Empress, isn''t this too sudden?"


    After Yun Canghai and Yun Che returned to the Yun Family recently, Yun Qinghong somewhat knew about Huan Caiyi''s n, but isn''t this too rash of a decision? They couldn''t possibly gather enough force.


    The patriarch agreed with Yun Qinghong. Even though they didn''t want to admit it, Duke Huai Pce gained power and influence that rivaled the Twelve Guardian Families.


    In the past sixteen years, they heard a rumor that Duke Ming had touched the threshold of the Profound God Realm.


    "I know your worry, but we must get rid of him." Huan Caiyi pressed this matter. She pped her hand and showed something to them.


    The patriarchs stared at Huan Caiyi''s palm and saw the Demon Emperor''s seal. Their eyes widened in disbelief.


    "This is..."


    "There is no mistake..."


    "This is the Demon Emperor''s seal."


    "But how could this be? Thest person who held the Demon Emperor''s seal is the Demon King, but he has disappeared for over a hundred years..."


    "Yun Qinghong, has Old Ghost Yun returned?" asked a middle-aged man in a white-blue robe. He has deep ck eyes, brown hair, and a long yet well-maintained beard.


    ''Father-inw, we can talk about thister." Yun Qinghong was stunned by this sudden question. He chuckled weakly and denied it by shaking his head. However, everyone in the room knew the answer after seeing his reaction.


    They couldn''t help but suck a deep breath, knowing a legendary figure known as the Demon King returned to the Illusory Demon Realm.


    "Very well..." The middle-aged man nodded in understanding. He was Mu Feiyun, the Patriarch of the Mu n. He''s Yun Che''s grandfather from his maternal side.


    ''These guys.'' The other patriarchs clicked their tongues.


    "Enough." Huan Caiyi tapped her finger on the table, gaining everyone''s attention again. Her authority is unquestionable.


    "I have gathered enough dirt and unveiled Duke Ming''s deeds."


    "He was the one who killed the Demon Emperor and Little Demon Emperor."


    After Huan Caiyi said that, the room instantly became quiet. Her cold voice reverberated in their heart.


    The patriarchs'' expression morphed into that of disbelief, shock, and enlightenment.


    That''s right.


    They should have guessed it. Duke Ming was the only expert who could do these acts behind their backs. He''s a crafty old fox.


    Not to mention, Duke Huai Pce has aggressively grown more powerful, suppressing their families and Huan Caiyi''s party for over a hundred years, trying to get on her throne.


    In the light, nothing happened.


    However, the shadow is unknown to the public.


    They couldn''t count how many factions and businesses lost there.


    They swallowed their anger and waited for Huan Caiyi''s next order.


    Huan Caiyi calmly sighed, "I know the Duke Huai Pce was troublesome to all of you, but everything will be over soon. The treasure I gained in the Demonic Star Secret Realm allows my strength to grow tremendously."


    "So what if Duke Ming bes stronger? I''m still stronger than him..."


    ''There is also Witch Stuff...'' She thought while reciting Sky Demon Sutra subconsciously. She felt a soothing wave soaking her mind.


    She recovered from the calming sensation and said, "The n is simple and straightforward."


    "I want the patriarchs to use Heavenly Grotto Sealing Arrays to trap Duke Huai Pce''s goons while I deal with Duke Ming."


    "If possible, you can also kill those goons." Her voice was indifferent to traitor''s lives.


    After hearing her decisiveness, the Twelve Guardian Families'' patriarchs nodded solemnly. Heavenly Grotto Sealing Array is a secret art passed by the Demon Emperor to the Twelve Guardian Family, and they could use it to seal space and weaken enemies.


    In fact, the Demon Emperor used it all by himself to kill a peak Sovereign Profound Beast. Unfortunately, it was all past glory.


    Then, they nced at the sick-looking Yun Qinghong. They don''t want to say it, but the current patriarch of the Yun Family can''t use the Heavenly Grotto Sealing Array due to being injured.


    It would cause the array to get weakened by 10%.


    And 10% is a lot.


    Yun Qinghong knew what their gazes meant and sighed inwardly. After traveling to the Profound Sky Continent back then, he suffered horrible internal injuries and cold poison.


    These factors didn''t just weaken Yun Qinghong''s cultivation base but also threatened his life expectancy. Many doctors said he would die soon.


    Huan Caiyi was also troubled by this. She had some drops of Evergreen Tree''s Dew left, which could help Yun Qinghong.


    The problem is Yun Qinghong''s internal injuries have worsened beyond the ordinary, and cold poison has seeped into his marrow.


    The fact Yun Qinghong could walk to the Hidden City without losing breath is a miracle.


    "Patriarch Yun, give me your hand for a second." said a calm voice. It was Yu Long whozily leaned on his chair.


    Everyone nced at him and was stunned for a moment.


    "Can you heal him?" Huan Caiyi asked expectantly.


    Yu Long stared at Yun Qinghong''s sickplexion andmented, "Isn''t it just some internal injuries and cold poison? Even if his heart stopped or his head got blown to pieces, I can still bring him to life."


    "..." Everyone.


    Why are you bragging?


    Be a human, can''t you?


    Even the best doctor in the Illusory Demon Realm has no confidence to say such a thing. It''s almost sphemous.


    Well, Yu Long is different.


    ''Heh, my hubby will widen your narrow vision.'' Chu Yuechan proudly raised her chest, causing them to jiggle slightly.


    No one in the room knows Yu Long''s medical skill more than Chu Yuechan.


    She has seen her fair share of Yu Long''s miracles.


    "Do you want to be healthy or not?" Yu Longzily waved his hand.


    Yun Qinghong smiled wryly because he also heard of Yu Long from Yun Canghai, though most of what his father said sounded more likeints than information.


    But Yun Canghai did press one point very seriously. He warned Yun Qinghong not to offend Yu Long or stay on his ''bad'' side.


    After seeing Helian Kuang beaten up by Yu Long, Yun Qinghong was satisfied and agreed with his father''s words.


    So, Yun Qinghong readily offered his left arm to Yu Long.


    Yu Long grabbed Yun Qinghong''s hand, pressing his nerve gently.


    He looked uninterested before saying, "Done."


    "Pardon?" Yun Qinghong got caught off guard.


    He seemed to hear Yu Long''s statement wrong.


    "Done. I already cursed your injuries and cold poison." Yu Long yawned casually.


    "..." Everyone.


    Is Yu Long perhaps a Medical Saint?

    Link: /NineClouds69


    --- Chapter 269 ---


    Yun Qinghong and others were speechless.


    What do you mean by you cured his internal injuries and cold poison?


    They knew Yun Qinghong''s situation was worse than it looked from the outside and forced him to live like an injured dog for years. Heys low and is even looked down on by his fellow nsmen.


    Even though Yun Qinghong tried to hide it, these factors impacted him emotionally. However, he must be strong for his poisoned wife and growing son.


    As the Patriarch of Yun Family, Yun Qinghong couldn''t afford to show any visible weakness.


    To think the injuries and poison gued him for years to disappear just like that, Yun Qinghong doesn''t know how to feel.Yu Long nced at Yun Qinghong andmented, "It''s just little internal injuries and weak-ass cold poison. Even my grandma could heal it."


    "..." Everyone''s mouth twitched slightly.


    Are you saying that your grandmother is also a Medical Saint?


    Unknown to them, Yu Long''s grandmother can heal someone from death with a flip of her hand.


    Yun Qinghong closed his eyes and slowly sensed his body, savoring the lightness. He felt the chains that attached to his body had fallen off, allowing him to breathe freely.


    His internal organs have healed. No, they are bing much more resilient than before.


    As for the poison, Yun Qinghong knew the severity of getting poisoned to the marrow. It was basically a death sentence with a timer and no doctor capable of extracting it out.


    They have no skill nor confidence to pull such a thing.


    However, Yu Long is indifferent. He didn''t even blink an eye when getting rid of Yun Qinghong''s cold poison, as if it was a minor inconvenience.


    But then, Yun Qinghong noticed an absurd change inside his body. His profound veins actually opened.


    "This is... Consort Yu, you actually opened my profound veins and gave me Heavenly God''s Spiritual Veins!" He said out loud. He was shocked and couldn''t hide it.


    Everyone stared at Yun Qinghong and felt his profound veins with their profound energy, sensing all of them opened. Their faces morphed into that of utter disbelief.


    Yu Long rubbed his fingers and answered, "Take it as a greeting gift. You don''t know, but Yun Che is myckey, so helping you a little is still within my capability."


    "Heavenly God''s Spiritual Veins aren''t that important. Everyone in my home has it."


    Can you stop bragging?! Yun Qinghong and others couldn''t take it anymore.


    Their worldview shattered again and again.


    At this point, they be slightly numb to it.


    Heck! They wouldn''t be shocked if Yu Long said he was an alien or something simr.


    Yun Qinghong chuckled heartfully, "Consort Yu''s little help? I''m afraid this little help has changed my life."


    "No, you''re basically giving me a second chance at life."


    "Yeah, whatever." Yu Long replied nonchntly. He also had his motive.


    Helping Yu Qinghong allowed Yu Long to extract his blood and profound art. Even though Yun Qinghong shared the same blood as Yun Canghai and Yun Che, their developments were diverse.


    At first, Yu Long nned to do this with Huan Caiyi''s help but scratched the idea. This method is much faster.


    He has cast the bait.


    Will the fish take it?


    "C-Consort Yu, can you open my profound vein''s entrances too?" asked someone nervously. It was the Patriarch of the Helian n, who had gotten beaten up by Yu Long earlier.


    He swallowed his pride to ask this request.


    ''Bingo!'' Yu Long thought, smirking inwardly.


    And just like that, the ripple is created on the calm water.


    Cough!


    "If possible, I also wanted to open my profound veins, Consort Yu," said Yan Zijing sheepishly. "Don''t worry, I will pay you handsomely."


    "You can even copy my n''s heirloom technique."


    ''You spear-wielding bastard, don''t get ahead of yourself!'' The other patriarchs didn''t expect Yan Zijing to be so thick-skinned.


    "Me too, Consort Yu!"


    "Yes, I will pay double for Yan Zijing!"


    What are Heavenly God''s Spiritual Veins?


    It''s the sign of the highest talent, allowing one to absorb and refine profound energy faster.


    The patriarchs of Twelve Guardian Families are old fogies who lived more than one or two centuries, so they knew the value of Heavenly God''s Spiritual Veins is priceless.


    So what if they had to pay a fortune, it''s worth it!


    Above all else, the Heavenly God''s Spiritual Veins might give them a chance to enter the Profound God Realm.


    Heavenly God''s Spiritual Veins? More like Hot Potatoes!


    ''As expected of my hubby.'' Chu Yuechan thought, knowing this would happen after Yu Long offered free help to Yun Qinghong.


    Meanwhile, Tempest tilted her head in confusion. She didn''t understand the importance of Heavenly God''s Spiritual Veins.


    For profound beasts, all they do is fight, eat, and sleep.


    Yu Long still looked calm and nced at Huan Caiyi, seeing a bit of hope in her eyes. Well, the empress also wants the Heavenly God''s Spiritual Veins.


    "Hmm, you can do it in installments." Yu Long stated calmly.


    "You can decide the amount yourself, and I prefer profound arts and raw resources like minerals or herbs. And yes, I don''t want the ordinary ones because those don''t pique my interest." He added sternly.


    "Understand?"


    "Understood." The eleven patriarchs nodded their heads like a bunch of chickens.


    "As for Caiyi." Yu Long mumbled softly.


    "Do you want me to open your profound veins also?"


    Huan Caiyi''s eyes lip up, but she hesitated.


    After getting the Sky Demon Sutra, she doesn''t want to burden Yu Long more. However, we are talking about Heavenly God''s Spiritual Veins here, a legendary trait even thete Demon Emperor didn''t have.


    Huan Caiyi''s pride hurt her in a worse way now.


    Riding Yu Long''s coattail sounds easy, but that lessened her worth in his eyes. She doesn''t want to get remembered as a woman who likes to get free stuff. She wants to stand beside Yu Long with her head up.


    Yu Long knew what Huan Caiyi was thinking and said, "Give me ess to the library again. That should be enough to open your profound veins."


    "Okay." Huan Caiyi readily agreed.


    After that, Yu Long opened their profound veins and took the samples he wanted. Even with a nce, he knew this time he got a jackpot.


    "Haha, so this is the Heavenly God''s Spiritual Veins?" The elf patriarchughed in joy. He could feel his body brimming with power.


    His energy cirction is also much faster than before. At least ten times faster!


    "Consort Yu, I, the Greatest Ambition Under Heaven, would like to show you my gratitude!" The elf cupped his hand to Yu Long.


    Yu Long''s eyelid twitched, "Come again? I didn''t hear your name clearly."


    "Hmm? My name is the Greatest Ambition Under Heaven!" The elf said proudly.


    "..." Yu Long.


    What the hell is wrong with your name?


    That''s not a name. That''s a goddamn title.


    Even the aloof Chu Yuechan was speechless. ''This name is a bit ambitious.''


    "Haha, I get that reaction a lot." The elf patriarchughed. "Calling my name will be painful for someone I newly knew, so you can call me Patriarch Elf or Brother Ambition."


    "Okay." Yu Long rubbed his temple.


    Soon, the rest of the patriarchs thanked Yu Long and promised to pay him back as quickly as possible.


    If possible, they wanted to return to their n fast and brought their most genius member from younger generation to see if they could get Yu Long to open their profound veins.


    Yes, you heard it right. The temptation is just too much.


    Huan Caiyi savored her newly awakened Heavenly God''s Spiritual Veins and opened her eyes slowly. Her cultivation increased by many folds.


    ''Not even Duke Ming could stop us now. Even if he had strong backup ns.''


    Huan Caiyi pped her hand gently and said, "With this, the meeting is over!"

    --- Chapter 270 ---


    After leaving the Hidden City with some farewell, Yu Long and others walked out from the swirly purple portal.


    "Caiyi, your subordinates are more easygoing than I expected." Yu Longmented with a smile.


    Huan Caiyi pursed her lips and replied, "You might think Heavenly God''s Spiritual Veins aren''t precious, but to us, it was like a new golden path to thread on."


    "Even if you told them to grovel, they would do it in a heartbeat for the Heavenly God''s Spiritual Veins."


    "They aren''t dogs, you know?" Yu Long couldn''t help butment.


    Huan Caiyi was stunned by his words. She blinked because her anti-social and unsympathetic life had changed her view on master-subordinate rtionships, which led her to this realization.The title of ''Little Demon Empress'' affected Huan Caiyi more than she initially believed.


    She sighed, "You''re right. I will think of them in a better light from now on."


    Yu Long shed with a surprised look before nodding a little. Huan Caiyi isn''t unreasonable. She knew her weakness and was actually willing to admit it.


    That''s a rare thing to see in someone.


    Unknown to Huan Caiyi, Yu Long also sees her in a better light now.


    Chu Yuechan nced at Huan Caiyi andmented, "So, where are we going next?"


    "Yeah, Tempest is bored!" Tempest followed while rubbing her stomach.


    Huan Caiyi stared at them and replied, "I was nning to take Yu Long to the Flickering Candlelight, a famous treasure castle in the Demon Imperial City, but that would bring too much attention to us."


    "Let''s return to the Imperial Pce and have lunch there. The servants should have prepared a sumptuous lunch."


    "Lunch!" Tempest''s eyes lit up.


    Huan Caiyi nodded, "I guarantee the food will be delicious."


    "What do you think, Yu Long?"


    "Okay." Yu Long agreed without much hassle. Honestly, he felt a bit hungry as well.


    They returned to the Demon Imperial Pce.


    They sat in the garden and had servants serving several dishes. Yu Long ate quickly but nobly because he couldn''t look slouchy in front of others.


    Tempest is different, though.


    She''s shoving food into her mouth like no tomorrow.


    "Good! So good~!" She praised the taste of Imperial Cooking. If she knew humans could cook this amazing, she would have made a deal with them those years ago.


    What a shame.


    Beside Tempest''s seat, Chu Yuechan stuffed her mouth with a spoonful of porridge, feeling amused due to Tempest''s wolfish nature. The look on the bird''s face is that of ecstasy, which affected her a little.


    "It''s not bad." Chu Yuechan tasted the porridge andmented with a raised eyebrow.


    "Right?" Huan Caiyi replied calmly, but her crescent eyes couldn''t hide her pride. Even though she couldn''t cook, she knew the Imperial Pce''s servants she took in were masters in their household fields.


    So, Huan Caiyi found some foods outside rather nd. Her pte has been spoiled rotten by them for over a hundred years.


    Well, this is considered normal among the noble.


    Yu Long finished his food and washed it with a ss of water. He stared at Huan Caiyi and said, "You mentioned something about the treasure castle earlier, did it?"


    Huan Caiyi finished her food minutes ago and nodded, "The ce is Flickering Candlelight. It''s a Treasure Castle supported by the most skilled craftsmen, alchemists, and array makers."


    "Simply put, they held and distributed the rare treasures in the Illusory Demon Realm."


    "That sounds like ck Moon Merchant Guild." Chu Yuechan mumbled in surprise.


    Huan Caiyi acknowledged calmly, "ck Moon Merchant Guild? I heard of them in the past, a faction from Profound Sky Continent, so there is a simrity."


    "Of course, there are some differences."


    "And it is rted to Yu Long in some way."


    "Me?" Yu Long didn''t expect this.


    Huan Caiyi poured herself tea and continued, "Yes, it''s rted to your unique control over Demonic Core."


    "Have you ever heard of the Weaponized Demonic Core?"


    Yu Long''s eyes shed with the look of surprise. "I''ve never heard of it."


    "Oh, I''ve heard of it!" Tempest excitedly stood up, still having barbeque sauce all over her face.


    "Some special cksmith seemed able to harness Demon Core''s power, bringing its power into the shape of a weapon. This method allowed the weapon to obtain Demonic Core''s traits, such as an element or extra ability like weakening one''s defense."


    "The increase in one''s strength is absurd. I once heard that one could fight enemies four to five sub-realms higher with high-grade Demonic Weapons."


    "How to say it... Using a Demonic Weapon is safer than directly absorbing the Demonic Core''s power."


    "It won''t cause mutation, but the effect is considerably weaker."


    "That''s a high praiseing from you..." Yu Longmented, causing Tempest to whimper in dissatisfaction.


    She wanted toin that Yu Long shouldn''t look down on her too much, but recalling the golden-eyed young man''s strength made her shiver in fear.


    Even if Tempest has a hundred Demonic Weapons, she has no confidence in touching the edge of Yu Long''s clothes.


    "Hmm, do you have the Demonic Weapon?" Yu Long gazed at Huan Caiyi calmly.


    Huan Caiyi pondered briefly before nodding and pulling something from her spatial storage. It was a small stick around 30 centimeters with a red body and ck veins.


    Yu Long observed the stick, thinking someone who could alter his Essence Sphere to this state was a bit interesting.


    However, it was such a green attempt.


    This method only scratched the surface of his Essence Sphere.


    It''s like using raw iron primitively. There is no tempering or refined process to turn the iron into pure iron and steel.


    ''Young, too young.'' Yu Longmented casually.


    "If I''m not wrong, this thing needs blood energy instead of profound energy, right?"


    "Yes." Huan Caiyi replied positively.


    "Can you inject your blood energy into it for me to see?"


    Huan Caiyi didn''t reply, so she controlled her blood energy by injecting it into the small stick in her hand. The ck veins twitched and caused the stick to expand into a one-meter-long demonic saber.


    The demonic saber released an unruly aura, causing Tempest to feel vile toward it.


    Even the quiet Chu Yuechan felt a repulsion toward the saber. Maybe because her sword intent felt it was impure.


    But the transformation is far from over.


    The demonic saber twitched again, revealing a bloody red eye near the hilt and ring at the sky with extreme bloodlust.


    Suddenly, the sky darkened, and thunder roared.


    "Blood Thunder Ogre..." Yu Long recognized the origin of this power immediately. It was a troublesome fellow at the time, but he didn''t think much of it now.


    He snapped his finger, and the demonic saber turned into a small stick, causing Huan Caiyi to furrow her eyebrow.


    "Not a bad invention." Yu Long assessed while rubbing his chin.


    "However, the person who made thiscks technique and understanding of Demonic Core."


    "He didn''t understand the essence inside it."


    "Caiyi, is this fellow staying in the Flickering Candlelight?"


    Huan Caiyi shook her head gently, "I''ve met him in person. He''s very seclusive and only does his job onmission. He rarely stayed in the Flickering Candlelight, but sometimes, he did. It took me three months to find him."


    "When I met him and said I want a Demonic Core, he said I must search for a rare, high-grade one, or else he wouldn''t make a Demonic Weapon for me."


    "And you didn''t kill him? That''s a surprise." Yu Long was amazed by Huan Caiyi''s short story.


    Huan Caiyi smiled indifferently, "I can''t possibly kill important assets like him."


    "He''s a unique genius."


    "I see... So, what''s the name of this unique genius?" Yu Long inquired further.


    Huan Caiyi lifted her small stick and showed Yu Long a small carving at the bottom, which was very stylish.


    "D...." Chu Yuechan mumbled.


    "What is D?" Tempest tilted her head in confusion.


    Huan Caiyi waved the stick and answered, "D stands for..."


    "Dante."

    --- Chapter 271 ---


    "Dante?" Thedies were confused.


    They aren''t familiar with this foreign name.


    However, Yu Long didn''t. His golden eyes widened for a split second before returning to normal.


    Thankfully, no one noticed his reaction.


    He looks calm outside, but a storm is brewing inside him. He fell into deep mncholy after hearing ''Dante'' from Huan Caiyi''s mouth.


    "What a unique name for a genius," said Yu Long casually. "No wonder this guy''s personality is shrewd."Huan Caiyi nodded, "Dante is a master cksmith and Array Formation, which helped him make Demonic Weapons. Both professions synergized well and created this small miracle."


    "Even Sovereign Profound Weapons fell shortpared to Demonic Weapons."


    "The difference is just too big."


    "But you also have to pay a huge price." Yu Long eyed Huan Caiyi''s blood energy dropping slightly.


    Huan Caiyi shook her head gently, "I can always recover 5% of blood energy, so it''s not a bad price to awaken Demonic Weapon to its true form."


    "After that, the weapon didn''t consume much."


    "Have you ever thought about what happens when you don''t have enough blood energy?" Yu Longmented, causing Huan Caiyi to ponder.


    "The weapon won''t just consume your blood, but also your bone and flesh."


    "At some point, it might swallow your life, too."


    "Aih, such an unorthodox path."


    Huan Caiyi took Yu Long''s words seriously. After all, he wouldn''t make a half-assedment about her situation if he didn''t know about something.


    They spent little to no time together, but Huan Caiyi trusted Yu Long more than anyone. Truthfully, she''s the only man she could rely on after several years of loneliness.


    "I will use Demon Weapon less then." Huan Caiyi said, convinced.


    Yu Long chuckled, "You don''t have to take that far. Give me the stick."


    Huan Caiyi handed the small stick to Yu Long, and he observed it slightly before setting it aze with altered Phoenix''s me. A bright crimson-gold me burns in Yu Long''s left hand.


    Huan Caiyi was startled, "This me..."


    Under everyone''s gaze, Huan Caiyi''s Demonic Weapon bes smaller and smaller, like that of a pencil. Yet they also felt the demonic energy within it has increased by tenfold.


    Huan Caiyi couldn''t believe her sense for a moment.


    Strength, resource, skill. What Yu Long didn''t have?


    After a few minutes, Yu Long finally nodded and returned the Demonic Weapon to Huan Caiyi.


    Huan Caiyi epted it graciously and gasped in disbelief, "What have you done to the Demonic Weapon exactly? I can feel my strength soaring by holding it alone."


    "I haven''t even used my blood energy."


    "I improved it." Yu Long replied with a smug look.


    "This little thing couldn''t even scratch 10% of Demonic Core''s power, so you don''t even harness it properly. I also make it so you don''t have to use blood energy by purifying its bloodthirsty nature."


    "You can activate it with profound energy."


    "You don''t have to sacrifice yourself for a minuscule strength. Treasure your life."


    Huan Caiyi''s eyes be ssy for a moment. She hurriedly looked away so they couldn''t see her eyes.


    She calmed herself, "Thank you."


    "Thank you, Yu Long."


    "Oh, yeah. Also," Yu Long suddenly grabbed Huan Caiyi''s fair hand, making her cheek flush in surprise.


    ''He''s holding my hand!'' Huan Caiyi felt her heart beating like no tomorrow.


    Unfortunately, she was bound to be disappointed because Yu Long released her hand after three seconds.


    "Done. I''ve calibrated the Demonic Core''s ability so they wouldn''t sh with your body."


    "I don''t know what to say..." Huan Caiyi sighed. "Just earlier, you''re giving me the Heavenly God''s Spiritual Veins, and now this."


    "I owed you too much favor."


    "You can pay it slowly." Yu Long shed a yful smile.


    "Let''s start with visiting the Flickering Candlelight."


    ''Very well." Huan Caiyi stood up, telling the servant she would be out with Yu Long and others again. After making a notice, they went to the big castle south of Demon Imperial City.


    The building is mainly blue with a greenish ceramic finish. It also fused Eastern and Western cultures, such as the mansion-like entrance yet traditional japanese rooftop with carved koi fish.


    They stood before the building and stared at the ancient que above the entrance''s door. The characters of ''Flickering Candlelight, number one under the sky'' are boldly carved onto the ancient que, releasing a faint white light.


    They entered the building without alerting the guards.


    "Hmm?" The guard at the Sky Profound Realm felt a slight wind passing by. "What was that, wind?"


    "Achoo~! Brr, probably the weather. The season will change soon."


    Huan Caiyi led Yu Long and others into Flickering Candlelight''s higher level, walking past several rooms.


    Yu Long peeked into every room, seeing many decent cksmiths and alchemists doing their jobs.


    He walked steadily, ''It seems this floor is an exception because the lower floor used to disy items and exchange. This ce is much better than ck Moon Merchant Guild.''


    ''The qualities are also better.''


    ''They didn''t make many mistakes.''


    They arrived at the end of the corridor, facing an empty brick wall.


    ''Dante, I know you''re there!" Huan Caiyi stared at the brick wall and knocked on it as if it was a door.


    "Open the door, I want to talk."


    Chu Yuechan and Tempest stared at Huan Caiyi in awe, ''As expected of the empress. She''s a tough nut!''


    ''Heh, no wonder only my hubby could handle her.''


    As if responding to Huan Caiyi''sments, the bricks on the wall reassembled themselves and revealed a path to a light.


    "Let''s go. We are lucky Dante is here." Huan Caiyi walked into the path of light, casting a shadow over Yu Long and others.


    Yu Long shrugged and followed Huan Caiyi inside, finding himself in a peaceful-looking backyard. The sound of windchimes hit his ears.


    He nced to the left and right, seeing Tempest dazed. This green bird is unreliable.


    Meanwhile, Huan Caiyi and Chu Yuechen have recovered from the sudden change. That''s right, Yu Long and others are currently inside a pocket dimension.


    Yu Long looked around and saw a small cottage not far away. A middle-aged man in rag-like clothes is sleeping in his rocking chair. He has long white hair and a wild-looking beard.


    "Dante, I know you''re awake. Stop pretending." Huan Caiyi huffed, making the middle-aged man stop snoring.


    He opened his eyes and rubbed themzily, "What time is it?"


    "Lunch? Dinner?"


    "Breakfast-!" He froze because Huan Caiyi released an intense killing intent and focused it on his body.


    "O-Oh, I didn''t expect the empress to visit this old man."


    "Haha, sorry for not noticing."


    "As you know, I''m very old and getting tired easily."


    "Then, go retire." Huan Caiyi snorted, which made the middle-aged man chuckle.


    Dante quickly stood up and stared at the artificial sun above, "Retire? I won''t retire until I make the strongest Demonic Weapon!"


    "Hehehe, this time, I will seed!"


    "I only need a rare, high-grade Demonic Core."


    Huan Caiyi frowned, "I''m not here for business. I only wanted to introduce you to someone."


    "Huh?" Dante stroked his beard and looked at the three people behind Huan Caiyi.


    One is a beautiful woman in white.


    One is a tribal beauty with an innocent vibe.


    But thest person made Dante freeze on the spot.


    Yu Long simrly looked at Dante, meeting with his gaze.


    The backyard bes awfully silent.


    "It seems you never change, Dante." Yu Long finally opened his mouth after some time. "Or should I say... The Child of Hephaestus, Thalia."


    The middle-aged man''s eyes widened in shock.


    ''I-Impossible! H-How did he know my true name?''


    ''No one in this dimension should know it!''

    --- Chapter 272 ---


    Dante, or should we call Thalia now, was shocked inside.


    Her concealing equipment is the best, so how could a native from this world see through it? Not to mention, this is the lowest of the lowest star realms in the Primal Chaos Dimension.


    Yes, we are talking about a Divine Tool who could fool gods and demon kings of another world.


    Yet the same Divine Artifact couldn''t fool this unknown man.


    Thalia was shocked by this unknown man''s handsome features as she found them to fit her taste. However, she was more shocked when he called out her secret identity.


    Yu Long chuckled after seeing Thalia''s shocked expression. Even though she had the face of a messy elderly at the moment, he could see deep shock in her ignorant green eyes.He leaned on the rocking chair and then kicked it.


    "Ack!" The rocking chair shook violently, sending Thalia flying to a nearby tree. When she crashed into the tree, her disguise fell off, and a white mask bounced on the ground.


    A young woman appeared before everyone. She''s around 170 centimeters and wore a loose green robe, revealing skins here and there while still showing off her curves.


    She has greenish-orange hair, a lovely face, brown volcanic eyes, and a small nose. Her beauty wasn''t on the same level as Huan Caiyi or Chu Yuechan, but she was still a rare cutie.


    Then, again. Beauty is subjective.


    Huan Caiyi''s eyes widened slightly, ''Such a powerful disguise. It could even fool my senses for so long.''


    ''If Yu Long didn''t tattle her out, I wouldn''t have realized Dante was a young girl.''


    ''What a bravess.''


    Chu Yuechan and Tempest looked down on Thalia, who rubbed her cheek in pain.


    Tha rubbed her cheeks and realized the texture was somewhat off. Her face paled because the Mask of Proteus fell off.


    She froze on the spot and turned around awkwardly with beads of sweat falling off her cute face, "I..."


    ''Run!''


    Thalia turned into a green blur as she used her power to control this pocket dimension, shifting her position to the exit.


    Well, she was one step behind.


    Bam!


    Thalia crashed against an invisible wall and smacked herself onto it quite hard.


    "That must be hurt," Tempestmented casually.


    ''You think!'' Thalia was mad. ''Also, who put a goddamn wall in my private dimension!''


    Yu Long crossed his arms in amusement, "Don''t be surprised. I''ve sealed this pocket dimension when I walk into it."


    "I''m never entering an unknown ce without a precaution."


    "Y-You..." Thalia was speechless. Even though Yu Long said it so casually, she knew her pocket dimension was ''actually'' made with a Divine Artifact and not something an outsider could seize.


    Yu Long stared at Thalia and added calmly, "Akhilleus Kosmos is one of Olympus''s greatest artifacts, allowing one to create a portable dimension and safe haven from others."


    "Unfortunately, what you have is a mere replica."


    "Hephaestus probably didn''t tell you, but the replica has one ring weakness when he makes it."


    "Its inner space is wed. If your control is too weak, your enemy could seize it. I don''t understand why Hephaestus sent his inexperienced daughter to another world like this."


    "He''s literally sending you to death."


    "Don''t talk bad about my father!" Thaliashed out. She was angry that Yu Long was belittling her father.


    Yu Long put on a yful smirk, "So, you''re admitting you''re his daughter now?"


    "..." Thalia knew she was fucked up. She walked right into this unknown man''s trap.


    Huan Caiyi bewildered before giggling, "Yu Long, you''re so bad. Teasing a girl like that."


    Yu Long shrugged casually, "You don''t know this girl took on her father''s personality too much. She might look like a cute rabbit outside due to her mother''s nymph lineage, but she was stubborn as a mule like her father."


    At the same time, Yu Long inwardly sighed, ''When I met Hephaestusst time, his daughter was only 2-3 years old.''


    "Counting the Cosmic Storm''s ident and Olympus Massacre, you should be around 28 or 29 years old."


    "Am I right, Thalia?"


    Thalia''s eyes widened again, "H-How the fu-!"


    Her father was one of Olympus''s survivors. Unlike those self-proimed gods, Hephaestus isn''t arrogant about his power and has better self-control.


    The Sage of Craftsmanship and God of Fire, Hephaestus, is one of the small people Yu Long acknowledged in his past life. That''s why Yu Long spared his poor life when massacring Olympus God.


    Yu Long waved his hand, and the Mask of Proteus flew into his left hand, causing Thalia to frown.


    He observed the Mask of Proteus briefly before saying, "I see, so that''s why."


    Yu Long used the power of Karma to see Mask''s past, permitting him to witness what happened to Thalia and her father. He sighed and stared at her with a sorry gaze, "Thalia, your father, I mean Hephaestus..."


    "Is he really dead?"


    "Don''t worry, you can tell the truth."


    "I''m not your enemy."


    "On the contrary, I''m one of your father''s old friends."


    "Like I would believe you!" Thalia hissed. She wouldn''t fall for the same trick twice.


    No way in hell she believed Yu Long''s sudden deration.


    "I get it. You''re worried, but I won''t harm a single hair on you from now on." Yu Long smiled faintly before tossing the Mask of Proteus to Thalia.


    "Thatst kick was just to test you."


    Thalia caught it warily but didn''t say anything.


    "Prove it."


    "Prove that you''re my father''s old friend!"


    Yu Long tilted his head, "You want a proof? Hmm, that''s easy."


    "Let''s see..."


    "Let me think of something for a bit."


    "My memory is blurry."


    Everyone looked at Yu Long, who slowly lifted his left arm and conjured a me by igniting his profound energy. The me is gentle red but soon transformed into a ghostly white me.


    The surrounding temperature rose rapidly.


    Huan Caiyi, who mainly used fire elements, couldn''t help but be amazed because she felt the heat in her skin.


    Chu Yuechen wasn''t affected much because of her ice elements.


    On the other hand, Tempest and Thalia have problems breathing.


    Tempest wielded the wind element, so she was sensitive when Yu Long fed the ghostly white me with immense wind elements. She felt slightly suffocated but hurriedly calmed herself down.


    Meanwhile, Thalia felt her world turned upside down when she saw the ghostly white me. She couldn''t be more familiar with this me because her father was the one who invented it.


    White me of Beginning, Prototheus.


    Besides fire-rted power and talent, one must umte a hundred years'' worth of fire essence from heaven and earth-blessednd to rekindle Prototheus.


    And that''s only to create a spark.


    To make Prototheus, one must keep supplying the spark with another hundred years'' worth of fire essence from heaven and earth.


    One needs to repeat it ten times.


    Yes, ten times. However, even Hephaestus could only supply Prototheus for eight times. The requirement is too high.


    Thalia''s heart bes extremely cold. She felt like she plunged into an iceke because of Yu Long''s unexpected action, ''Prototheus is my father''s greatest research on creating a man-made Prometheus.''


    ''No one should know about this secret besides me and Mother.''


    ''Not even Zeus knows...''


    Then, Thalia suddenly remembered something.


    She recalled the moment of her father on his deathbed.


    He coughed profusely and sighed, "My greatest regret is not being able to see you grow, Thalia."


    "You have inherited all my knowledge, technique, and powers."


    "However, it''s not enough."


    "The Church of Khaos''s power exceeded our imagination. Even I couldn''t defeat them despite being one of Olympus''s gods."


    "Go, go look for Kaiju Maker''s power. Only he could protect this world from destruction."


    "After all, my skills are lower than him."


    "That Cosmic Storm..."


    "I believe he..." Before Hephaestus could finish his words, a powerful curse already killed him.


    Thalia sobbed hard, "That damned the Church of Khaos! Just wait, I, Thalia, will avenge my father and mother!"


    That day, Thalia vowed to destroy the Church of Khaos.


    Unfortunately, reality hit Thalia hard. She has no real power to fight the Church of Khaos.


    After fleeing her home, she could only slowly gather Kaiju Maker''s power and umte personal strength while hiding like a rat in a small hole.


    It''s not until over a decade ago that Thalia luckily stumbled into the Primal Chaos Dimension.


    "J-Just... Who are you?" Thalia questioned while staring at Yu Long.


    Yu Long smiled faintly, "Oh, haven''t you heard my name? My name is Yu Long."


    "But I have another name, or should I say title?"


    "People call me the Kaiju Maker."

    --- Chapter 273 ---


    "Y-You''re the Kaiju Maker?" Thalia couldn''t believe her ears for a moment.


    "But that''s impossible... You should have died 25 years ago from the Cosmic Storm''s explosion."


    Yu Long shook his head gently, "I''m also curious about that. It seems something isn''t allowing me to die."


    "But your appearance." Thalia still doubted Yu Long.


    Yu Long chuckled before ncing at Huan Caiyi, "What am I saying will be quite a shocker for you, so bear it for a moment."


    "The truth is... I got reincarnated into this world.""It''s not like I''m trying to hide from being a Kaiju Maker, but my new identity is more convenient. Not to mention, the memory of my past life is quite blurry, so there are many things I can''t remember."


    "Yu Long, you..." Huan Caiyi was shocked. She didn''t expect Yu Long to have such a big secret.


    No wonder.


    Yes, no wonder Yu Long has always been abnormal. All he could do was not something one could exin withmon sense.


    Yu Long, being a reincarnated person, made sense.


    It exined nearly everything ''mysterious'' about Yu Long.


    Still, Huan Caiyi was shocked that Yu Long was willing to reveal such a secret to her.


    Even though they had only known each other for a few days, for him to do this, his action couldn''t help but make her heart warm.


    ''So Yu Long trust me this much.'' Huan Caiyi thought. ''He helped so many times that I don''t know how to repay him.''


    ''P-Perhaps he has taken a liking to me?''


    ''If he did, I''m willing. I won''t betray Yu Long''s trust!''


    Unknown to Yu Long, he has made the Little Demon Empress overthinking of him. It seems he was living rent-free in her head.


    Is it a good thing or a bad thing? Nobody knows.


    Huan Caiyi peeked at Chu Yuechen, noticing she didn''t show that much of a reaction toward Yu Long''s reveal.


    ''She knew about it already, huh?''


    ''No, it''s not just her. There is also that woman called Chu Yueli.''


    ''Haa, I somehow felt jealous of them for knowing Yu Long earlier.'' She felt bitter. If Huan Caiyi hadn''t met the mysterious voice in the Demonic Star Secret Realm, she wouldn''t have been able to tie herself to Yu Long''s karma.


    Although it was a shameless and forceful method, Huan Caiyi didn''t have much choice, regardless.


    Tempest has a nk look on her face. She had already expected Yu Long to have a great secret, so she prepared not to be surprised.


    Not to mention, Tempest has watched Yu Long condense ''Essence Sphere'' after killing the Heavenly King of Burning Venom.


    That alone was enough to send a shiver down her spine and confirm that all the Demonic Cores they obtained originated from this mysterious yet dangerous young man.


    Tempest didn''t like to gamble with danger.


    However, this time, the reward exceeds the danger. Tempest is willing to bet her life on it.


    Meanwhile, Yu Long and Thalia have a staring contest with each other.


    "Looks like you still haven''t believed me." Yu Long couldn''t help but chuckle in helplessness. This woman is the Old Man''s daughter.


    "No, I believed you''re my father''s old friend, but Kaiju Maker..." Thalia replied with aplicated expression. "Let''s not mention reincarnation first, as your existence alone is limbo to me."


    "So, in short, you need more proof?" Yu Long gave her a knowing look.


    "Very well."


    "I will demonstrate something that only a Kaiju Maker could do."


    After saying that, Yu Long brought out a random profound beast''s corpse in the Sky Poison Pearl and threw it to the ground. He didn''t touch the corpse and hovered his hand above it.


    Soon, white particles appeared from the corpse and gathered on Yu Long''s hand, swirling and forming a sphere.


    Thalia watched this, and her eyes lit up in excitement, "You''re the Kaiju Maker."


    "Kurogami Hayate."


    "No, you''re Yu Long now." She sighed in relief.


    She hurriedly walked to Yu Long and bowed on the ground.


    "Niece Thalia greets the Godfather."


    "I''ve been looking for you all this time."


    "Atst, fate allowed us to meet today."


    "Get up. I made a promise in the past, and today it was settled. Aren''t you going to reveal your true name now?" Yu Long lifted Thalia.


    Thalia smiled and hugged Yu Long, "My name is Kurogane Thalia. I''m thest descendant of the Kurogane n."


    "My father, Kurogane Itsuki, is the sixth wielder of Hinokagutsuchi Power."


    "He passed away in the mission as the God of Fire, Hephaestus."


    "Today... I, the seventh wielder of Hinokagutsuchi Power, fulfilled the promise of two Dark-named Gods."


    A burning red me burst from Thalia''s body and linked to Yu Long''s Kaiju Maker. Deep inside, a strong shackle was ''directly'' broken by Thalia''s power, and Yu Long''s golden eyes shone faintly.


    A faint whisper echoed from the Kaiju Maker.


    <strong>[Forbidden Skill - Kaiju Eruption (Unlocked)]</strong>


    <strong>[Forbidden Skill - Kaiju Sacrifice (Unlocked)]</strong>


    <strong>[Acquired Skill - Fire of Life (Unknown)]</strong>


    Yu Long watched Thalia''s face be pale and gently sent a pure vitality to recover herplexion.


    "Thank you, Godfather," Thalia replied with a heavy breath.


    She just erupted the power left behind by her father. At the same time, she also helped Yu Long unlock his Kaiju Maker''s skills and gave him a new one.


    Hinokagutsuchi is the inherited power of the Kurogane n. It stock-piled throughout generations and eventually awakened when a ''great'' change happened to the earth.


    It has three main functions.


    To control fire and metal.


    To y demons and devils.


    Thest is to seal one''s potential, which sounds horrible but is actually the best function.


    Yu Long''s potential is horrifying in his past life. He even had ''a hard'' time controlling his power as it grew too fast.


    Yu Long met Hespaheustus or Kurgane Itsuki in the wilderness and agreed to seal his potential and control his power better.


    At the time, Itsuki has yet to join Olympus and be undercover for humanity. He''s just a middle-aged man who likes to ughter mutated beasts and gather rare resources to forge powerful artifacts.


    Yu Long promised to help Itsuki when he needed it. And he did. He helped Itsuki escape Olympus with his wife and daughter.


    Itsuki also promised to unseal Yu Long''s potential after a few years.


    Unfortunately, the Cosmic Storm happened before they could meet and fulfill the promise. Twenty-five yearster, Itsuki''s daughter met the reincarnated Kaiju Maker and unsealed his potential.


    Their meeting was seemingly fated to happen.


    "How did you feel?" Yu Long asked while patting Thalia''s head.


    Thalia eagerly being patted by Yu Long, "Much better. As Father said, you''re truly almighty."


    Yu Long smiled, flicking her forehead, "Don''t get your hope too high. Even though my potential has returned, it doesn''t mean my power suddenly skyrocketed."


    "As the saying goes, limitless potential doesn''t mean limitless power."


    "Isn''t that basically the same thing?" Thalia retorted, feeling at ease with Yu Long. After all, she regarded Yu Long as her only family member now.


    "No. What a silly girl." Yu Long stopped injecting his vitality, allowing Thalia''s body to recover naturally.


    Thalia pouted, "Hmph, so cold."


    Seeing this reaction, Yu Long could only shake his head.


    Technically speaking, Thalia is older than him.


    But it is also normal for her to act childish like this.


    When she unsealed his potential, Yu Long saw bits of her memory over the past years, and most of them were her suffering. Now that Yu Long has taken her as a goddaughter, he will help her to live a better life.


    After a while, Thalia recovered and chatted with thedies in the room.


    She also apologized to Huan Caiyi for scamming her. Apparently, she made the Little Demon Empress wait too long and overpay.


    ...


    ...


    Yu Long, Thalia, and others sat around a table. They drank special tea Thalia had and talked about recent things.


    "Thalia, what''s with the Church of Khaos?" Yu Long finally asked. "They appeared out of nowhere and started inciting chaos left and right."


    "Before meeting you, I''ve met Ares and Poseidon."


    "You met them?!" Thalia''s eyes widened in horror.


    "Are you okay, Godfather?"


    Yu Long waved his hand, "I killed Ares, and Yuechan killed Poseidon."


    "Even though I have yet to recover Kaiju Power''s full ability, my cultivation base has exceeded my past prime."


    "They had no chance against me."


    Thalia sighed in relief, "Good."


    "Church of Khaos..."


    "If you wanted to know, we should start the story from 25 years ago..."


    "Yes, right after Cosmic Storm''s ident."

    --- Chapter 274 ---


    "Twenty-five years ago..." Thalia stared at her still tea on the cup.


    "After you saved the world from the Cosmic Storm, many dimensions started invading the earth. You''re humanity''s biggest reliance and shouldn''t have died too early."


    "s, fate has other ns. Maybe it was a test for humanity."


    "Then, the Church of Khaos appeared."


    "Even though their leader hasn''t shown itself in public yet, their Elders and Priestess have paved the path of chaos on the earth and revived countless evil existences..."


    "I can''t exin their power...""I can only describe it as ''<strong>Wicked''</strong>power."


    "Wicked, huh?" Yu Long pondered because he had killed one of the so-called Holy Priestesses. He even read her memory and found nothing about the Church of Khaos.


    Butbeling the Church of Khaos''s revival power as ''wicked'' wasn''t inurate either.


    As far as Yu Long is concerned, their revival isn''t ordinary resurrection but more like an existence alteration.


    Even then, Yu Long would find it secret sooner orter.


    "Yes, wicked." Thalia continued with a nod. "The people they revived seemingly became stronger and started overwhelming the alliance."


    "If not for your lovers, humanity would be doomed for a long time."


    "Lover." Chu Yuechan narrowed her eyes.


    "Lover..." Huan Caiyi mumbled to herself.


    "Lover?" Tempest tilted her head in confusion.


    Thalia looked at thedies'' reaction and asked Yu Long, "Godfather, you didn''t tell them?"


    Yu Long shook his head gently, "As I said before, my past life memory is blurry. I only remember the relevant parts."


    "Well, let''s not get into that topic..."


    Thalia knew Yu Long didn''t want to mention the past too much. After all, he had a new life and more responsibility now.


    She understood that if he could help, he would.


    There is no need to make thingsplicated.


    So, Thalia cleared her throat and added, "Anyway, the Church of Khaos doomed the alliance and pushed them to the outer dimension."


    "They formed the Pangea World Alliance, a stronghold to protect humans across different dimensions."


    "However, the Church of Khaos is slick..."


    "They have a big ambition higher than the sky itself."


    "What is exactly their goal?" Chu Yuechan couldn''t help but question straightforwardly. They have learned about the Church of Khaos''s power but haven''t known their goal.


    Thalia sighed and answered, "Their goal is vague..."


    "However, some powerhouses have interrogated their Holy Priestess and Elders."


    "They got some heaven-breaking information. The Church of Khaos''s goal could threaten the world and even cause its destruction."


    "The Church of Khaos wanted to steal the world''s origin and destiny. It sounds corny, but stealing them is the same as ending the world forever."


    "Without the world''s origin, a world couldn''t support itself and crumble into void eventually."


    "What makes things worse is the destiny part."


    "Without destiny, a world couldn''t produce world''s origin and heavenly talents..."


    "Just imagine a world without newborns, leaving an ill-fated old generation that couldn''t do anything."


    "Their destiny is exhausted, so they couldn''t get any stronger and could only watch their world''s destruction."


    "But we didn''t know why they were doing this. I don''t think they will stop until a certain mark is met."


    "This is..." Huan Caiyi was rmed. "Something like this possible?"


    "It''s possible!" Thalia retorted sternly.


    "I have watched the Church of Khaos steal the destiny of dimensional worlds. I watched those people suffer and waited for their inevitable end!"


    "I can''t do anything to protect them."


    "So, their goal ofing to our Primal Chaos Dimension is probably the same." Chu Yuechan mumbled, thinking about something deeply.


    "That''s not necessarily true." Yu Long suddenly interjected.


    "From what I know, their goal isn''t only that."


    Thalia nodded, "Indeed. They areing to the Primal Chaos Dimension for more than the world''s origin and destiny."


    "They are here for the Seven Heavenly Profound Treasures."


    "And Seven Stars of Destruction..."


    "Seven Heavenly Profound Treasures." Chu Yuechan nced at Yu Long and couldn''t help but find it amusing. After all, three of Seven Heavenly Profound Treasures were with him.


    The Mirror of Samsara.


    Sky Poison Pearl.


    And the Evil Infant''s Wheel of Myriad Tribtions.


    Even though Chu Yuechan hasn''t seen the rest of the profound treasures, she has this deep foreboding that Yu Long will get them all sooner orter.


    "What are the Seven Stars of Destruction?" Huan Caiyi asked Thalia.


    Thalia awkwardly scratched behind her ears. She bitterly giggled and replied, "Godfather, would you like to answer this question? I can answer it for you."


    "I will answer it." Yu Long replied casually.


    He tapped the table with his finger a few times before saying, "The Seven Stars of Destruction is the seven most destructive Kaiju I ever made in the past."


    "They have the power, energy, and intelligence to create an apocalypse."


    "Eh?" Chu Yuechan has never heard of this before.


    "Is Pandora one of them?"


    Yu Long nodded, "Yes, she is."


    "Pandora ranked third in the Seven Stars of Destruction."


    "I already expected them to enter the Primal Chaos Dimension, too. However, this makes the situation more chaotic..."


    "Wait, who is Pandora?" Huan Caiyi looks puzzled.


    "You met Pandora, Godfather?" Thalia''s mouth gaped in disbelief.


    Yu Long gave Chu Yuechan a helpless look. She nodded in understanding before exining the event of Pandora''s descent into the Divine Phoenix Empire.


    Thedies had a ''wonderful'' expression when Chu Yuechan described Pandora''s destructive power tomand a few billion mutated profound beasts to attack a city.


    "In fact, the Yona you met in the Earth Dragon Enve was Pandora''s vessel before Hub-! I mean, Yu Long cured her." Chu Yuechan gave Huan Caiyi an afterword.


    "That woman..." Huan Caiyi recalled Yona. "Ah, she indeed has an extraordinary aura around her."


    "I don''t feel a human-like quality from her besides her physical appearance."


    Tempest paled on her seat, "Such a fearsome being. Just one of them alone could create such destruction."


    "I can''t imagine what would happen if the Church of Khaos could get their hands on seven of them."


    "Fortunately, that''s impossible." Yu Long denied the possibility.


    "I don''t know just how powerful the Church of Khaos is, but getting control over Seven Stars of Destruction is simply too difficult."


    "They have rebellious wills."


    "Pandora''s true body is currently in the upper realm. She probably has expected the intruders from another dimension toe."


    "With her personality, she''d rather die than be controlled by anyone else but me..."


    "Upper realm... Are you perhaps talking about the legendary Realm of Gods?" Huan Caiyi''s eyes lit up.


    "Yup."


    "It exists?"


    "Caiyi, you have the blood of the Golden Crow. And the Golden Crow herself is from the Realm of Gods."


    "Ah, I see. That was a stupid question to ask." Huan Caiyi put on a humorous look.


    Thalia giggled, "The Seven Stars of Destructions will always follow Kaiju Maker''s order. As long as the Godfather could meet their true bodies, he could take over them instantly."


    "If I could meet them, that is." Yu Long rolled his eyes. Those foolish Kaiju are ying hide and seek with him.


    Thalia finished her tea and said with utter reverence, "You will find them, Godfather. I''m sure of it."


    "Well, that''s it for now."


    "Empress, I have something for you."


    "Hmm?" Huan Caiyi gave her a curious look.


    Thalia brought an ancient paper and said, "In the past three years, the Duke Huai Pce has been ordering Demonic Weapons from me."


    "Here is the list of purchases."


    Huan Caiyi took the paper and read it briefly. The more she reads, the more annoyed she looks.


    "I don''t know what they are nning with such a big number of Demonic Weapons," Thalia said solemnly. "But it can''t be a good thing for you."


    "They are nning to rebel..." Huan Caiyi clenched her hand, crumpling the paper.


    "What? That''s too ambitious." Thalia was surprised.


    "They are asking for a beating, especially when Godfather was on your side."


    "Hmph, just wait, Empress. They would end up groveling on the ground soon."


    Huan Caiyi smiled coldly. "They will."

 Chapter 278: Consolidation of Ones Feelings, Teaching Thalia

    Chapter 278: Consolidation of One''s Feelings, Teaching Thalia


    I have added this fanfic to my P4treon Page. You can support me and read advanced chapters there. It motivate me to write more chapters for you guys!

    --- Chapter 275 ---


    After discussing many things, Thalia cleaned up her ce and put on her mask again. Of course, she didn''t choose to disguise herself as ''Dante, the Demonic Weapon cksmith'' anymore and turned into a more mature version of herself.


    Her facial features became sharper, her hair turned ck, and her body slimmed under the baggy purple robe. She showed enough curves to make one think she was charming.


    Instantly, the daughter of the number one cksmith in Yu Long''s past life has be a youngdy of an ancient n.


    Apparently, this was Thalia''s disguise when she entered cultivation-type dimensions. She also adopted the character Tang Hye, a mysterious young demoness from an unkind family.


    "The Mask of Proteus isn''t a bad artifact at all." Yu Longmented while looking at Thalia from head to toe.


    Thalia smiled, "It''s my father''s masterpiece, after all. Even the Olympus Gods wanted it.""Unfortunately, I would never let them touch my father''s works."


    "Good, you''re a filial child." Hearing her statement, Yu Long nodded in satisfaction.


    Huan Caiyi watched their interaction with a faint smile. Seeing how calmly Yu Long talked with Thalia made her realize this monster of a man had a human side, too.


    No, he was a human with a heart of gold before reincarnation. He saved a world and many lives inside it.


    Even Huan Caiyi knew she wasn''t able to achieve the same feat. It made Huan Caiyi admire Yu Long more.


    That''s right. In the past, Huan Caiyi saw Yu Long as an ''impressive'' man, but now she found him very mesmerizing. He could do ordinary things like breathing, and she would still find him the most attractive man in the world.


    Yes, she unknowingly has be obsessed with him. His charm has enamored her beyond one could describe.


    Huan Caiyi sighed in her heart, ''I should thank the mysterious voice for helping me back then. Without the voice, I''m sure I can''t even stand beside Yu Long.''


    ''Now I can''t hear the mysterious voice anymore. Maybe It''s just my imagination.''


    Chu Yuechan nced at Huan Caiyi, finding the Little Demon Empress''s expression somewhat off. Then, she followed her gaze and realized what the former had been thinking.


    Even though Chu Yuechan has a concerningly low EQ, she still understands theplicated feelings of a woman. She knew Huan Caiyi was thinking deeply about her situation with Yu Long.


    Chu Yuechan had a simr experience and calmly said, "It''s better if you don''t bury it."


    "Hmm?" Huan Caiyi tilted her head toward Chu Yuechan.


    Chu Yuechan curved her lips, "I don''t know how you see Yu Long, but he wasn''t very active when chasing someone unless you let him to. You''re a woman with many issues, and he has much more than that."


    "Given our identities in this chaotic world, suppressing your feelings would only lead to a Heart Demon and frustration."


    "And those will lead to a decline in your cultivation."


    "That''s why... Don''t bury it. In fact, you should see and experience wonderful feelings."


    "Who knows, you might get enlightened."


    Huan Caiyi was confused, "You don''t strike me as someone who would make this conversation."


    "I am." Chu Yuechan nodded calmly. "However, my sister rubbed on me a little, and I''d like to give you a chance."


    "No, I''d like Yu Long to get more women."


    "This..." Huan Caiyi was speechless.


    Chu Yuechan waved her hand and looked away. She already told HHuan Caiyi all the ''important'' things.


    Truthfully, Chu Yuechan''s words have a hidden meaning. She suggested Huan Caiyi enter Yu Long''s harem not only for his own good but also for the otherdies.


    Even though they are cultivators, they aren''t Gods. Their stamina is finite before Yu Long''s endless stamina and sexual prowess, which begs the question of whether they are enough to satisfy him.


    There are others, but Chu Yuechan doubts the numbers are enough to take Yu Long down in bed.


    Of course, Chu Yuechan wouldn''t tell Huan Caiyi this. She didn''t want to spout more nonsense.


    Chu Yuechan nced at Tempest and shook her head, ''This bird is too dumb to enter the harem. We don''t take everyone.''


    You can be dumb.


    But you CAN''T be too dumb!


    "What?" Tempest felt shamed by Chu Yuechan''s gaze.


    Why did she feel like this frosty woman was looking down on her?


    "Nothing." Chu Yuechan looked away.


    Tempest gave her a dumb and nk look. She quickly hides her dough sticks from Chu Yuechan, "Just you know, I won''t share my food with you!"


    "I know. Keep eating. You need it." Chu Yuechan dismissed the bird casually.


    ''Yeah, no chance.'' Chu Yuechan thought to herself.


    Yu Long stared at them, "Okay, we can leave this ce."


    "Let''s go."


    After leaving the Flickering Candlelight, they returned to the Imperial Demon Pce.


    Huan Caiyi ordered the servants to clean some rooms and told Yu Long she''d meditate with Sky Demon Sutra. Yu Long shrugged, finding no problem with her decision.


    She just discovered her talent as an Otherworldly Witch, and delving more into it is better than repetitive cultivation in Profound Way. She also could apply knowledge from being a Profound Practitioner to the Witch.


    Given the troubles Huan Caiyi must face soon, increasing her mental strength will give her an advantage.


    Like Huan Caiyi, Chu Yuechan also told Yu Long she wanted to meditate and consolidate her sword intent more.


    That left Yu Long with Tempest and Thalia.


    Well, more like Yu Long and Thalia alone. The green bird is ''literally'' eating to death with all the pampering the Imperial Demon Pce''s servants gave her.


    Yu Long couldn''t me Tempest for it. The servants served the best food one could get in the Illusory Demon Realm, and Huan Caiyi was nice enough to provide them all for free.


    Watching the green bird devouring the table, Yu Long could only sigh and drag Thalia to the underground. He borrowed her pocket dimension and made a makeshift workshop that suited his taste.


    Yu Long sat on a stone chair andmented, "So, I know you can turn my Essence Sphere into weapons. You have surpassed your father in this regard, but it''s not enough."


    "Yes. Godfather''s Essence Sphere is too heaven-defying." Thalia replied with a weak smile. "Even with Hinokagutsuchi, I could only alter the Essence Sphere''s properties and shape."


    "In essence. I didn''t turn it into a weapon at all."


    Yu Long smiled, "Kaiju Maker''s power is absolute. Not even Cosmic Storm could change it."


    "However, your approach to the Demonic Weapon wasn''t bad. It''s just that your skill is green in this field."


    "Mhm." Thalia acknowledged her weakness.


    Yu Long brought a random Essence Sphere. It has no particr use, and the powers within it are weak.


    He didn''t need such a weak power, but it was good enough for Thalia''s training.


    He threw the Essence Sphere to Thalia, "Catch it."


    Thalia caught the Essence Sphere, and her eyes widened slightly, "This is... Isn''t this an Essence Sphere from an extinct race, Spiritual Beast?"


    "Godfather, why did you give me such a precious thing?"


    The Spiritual Beast is an animalistic race that can turn their bodies into weapons. This one, in particr, can turn its giant elephant body into a shield, which functions like a Spiritual Weapon.


    Yu Long didn''t need it because he had Manifestation Aspect extracted from the Yun Family''s bloodline. The difference between the two is like that of sky and mud.


    "It''s nothing." Yu Long waved his hand, telling Thalia to take it. He can give her moreter.


    "Use that Essence Sphere as a test subject."


    "Show me the best you could with it."


    "I will give you guidance while you''re doing it."


    "Ah, I understand." Thalia''s eyes lit up. Yu Long wanted to help her! With that in mind, she hurriedly activated her power, and a massive silhouette appeared behind her.


    It was Hinokagutsuchi, the Shinto''s God of Fire.


    Yu Long stared at the fiery shadow, ''Hmm, I wonder if I can copy that with my Profound Incarnations. Theoretically, it''s possible.''

    --- Chapter 276 ---


    The Imperial Demon Pce''s Underground.


    Two people are focusing on a shining armguard. At first nce, one could tell this arm guard is extraordinary. It possesses a remarkable demonic aura, making one breathe rise sharply just by looking at it.


    "S-Sess," said Thalia with beads of sweat on her forehead.


    Yu Long stared at the shiny dark blue armguard with a hexagonal shell-like texture andmented, "Good, you have mastered elementary essence control after experimenting with so many Essence Spheres."


    "Your talent is much better than I thought."


    Thalia merely smiled after hearing Yu Long''s praise. She knew she wasted so many resources only to grasp the elementary level of essence control, even with Yu Long''s guidance.She wasn''t surprised she could make so much progress. If Thalia couldn''t achieve this much with Yu Long''s guidance and resources, she''d rather be a pig.


    She felt there was nothing to be proud of here.


    Yu Long picked up the armguard and observed it briefly, "Let''s call this Turtle Guard. It could offset life-threatening attacks three times and even heal its wielder with pure light-water energy."


    "I will follow Godfather''s suggestion," Thalia answered, agreeing with Yu Long''s given name for her tool. She nced at her back and saw a small pile of Demonic Weapons.


    The armguard is just one of many.


    Thalia actually felt helpless inside. To her, all these Demonic Weapons are treasures and her lifeline. Yet to Yu Long, they are nothing but trash to y with and help increase her skill.


    No wonder people looked for Kaiju Maker''s Essence Spheres. They defied the veryw of the universe.


    A sudden question shed in Thalia''s mind, ''If Godfather''s reincarnation was already this strong, I wonder how strong he was at his peak?''


    Yu Long didn''t notice Thalia''s eyes shing with wonders. He pondered the next step he must take to teach her instead.


    "Well, that''s enough for now, I guess." After thinking about it, Yu Long decided to give Thalia time off. "Go take a shower, Thalia. A girl should maintain her hygiene."


    Thalia opened her mouth wordlessly. She sighed, "Godfather, you sound like my father just now."


    "Is that supposed to be a bad thing? I''m taking you under my roof, after all." Yu Long raised his eyebrows. He only does the bare minimum.


    "No, not really." Thalia couldn''t help but grin. She had been running away from the Church of Khaos since her father''s death.


    Now that Yu Long is here, Thalia can rx and enjoy her free time with her Godfather. At the very least, she didn''t have to worry about the looming danger above her head.


    "Silly girl." Yu Long flicked Thalia''s forehead, making her squat on the ground in pain. "Go take a shower and eat something filling."


    "We will continue after you recover your mental strength."


    Thalia nodded and returned to the surface, walking up the stairs.


    Yu Long watched Thalia''s back disappearing and shook his head, "I didn''t expect myself to be a nanny. But this wasn''t a bad experience considering I''d have children in the future."


    He flipped his left hand, and a vial of Thalia''s blood appeared.


    He has asked for her blood earlier, wanting to unveil Hinokagutsuchi through it.


    At the same time, Yu Long also wanted to create a tailor-made Profound Art for Thalia. Her strength was in no way close to protecting herself.


    Even if Thalia used Hinokagutsuchi to fight the Olympus Scums, she wouldn''t be able to injure them, more so killing them.


    It wasmon sense, considering her cultivation base is only at peak Tyrant Profound Realm, and her strength has barely reached the Sovereign Profound Realm.


    Of course, the Olympus Scums also couldn''t do anything to Thalia as she has some powerful ''divine artifacts'' in her hand. Her survival ability is better than theirs by miles away.


    That''s just how much Hephaestus cares for his daughter.


    Previously, Yu Long asked Thalia if she had a connection to the Demonic Star Secret Realm or not, but she answered negatively. It seems Midas has nothing to do with her.


    "Old Man, you''re as cautious as always." Yu Long used Kaiju Maker to scan Thalia''s blood, breaking the gic codes and mystery one after another.


    After a few seconds, Yu Long quickly used a Profound Manifestation and fused the Aspect of Hinokagutsuchi into it, creating a new incarnation.


    The incarnation is a man with deep ck hair and red tips. He wore a red Haori over a yellow kimono and ck pants wrapped with a white sash. He also wore a katana on his left hip.


    He looks handsome, but one would forget his facial features one secondter as a white mist covered them. After that, all one could see was a sun-like mark between his eyebrows, shining with glory.


    Yu Long stared at the new Profound Incarnation with a daze. He couldn''t help but chuckle, "You''re the strongest wielder of this power, after all."


    "ck Steel''s lineage will live on with me and Thalia."


    "Don''t worry, I will honor your death with those scums'' lives."


    The ''God of Fire'' seemingly reacted after hearing Yu Long''s words. It stared at him silently before nodding and disappearing into Yu Long''s body.


    Then, Kaiju Maker released faint whispers in Yu Long''s ears.


    <strong>[Acquired Skill - Fire of Life has evolved due to Hinokagutsuchi''s influence]</strong>


    <strong>[You have obtained Divine Skill - Sunfire of Beginning and End]</strong>


    <strong>[You have obtained an Additional Skill - Divine cksmith''s Senses]</strong>


    Yu Long smiled, "Well, that was a surprise. No, that Old Man is probably leaving this for me."


    "He knew I''d take Thalia''s blood..."


    "What a sly fox." Knowing this, Yu Long also formed Karmic Links with Thalia and took her into his factions.


    "Whatever, let''s test the power of my new incarnations."


    Yu Long summoned Hinokagutsuchi Incarnation and ordered him tounch an attack in the pocket dimension. But soon, his eyes widened because of the invisible firepower it showed.


    "Haha... This incarnation is already at the same level as my Seven Deadly Sin Incarnations." Yu Long watched the sight before him. "It seems I''ve gained another trump card."


    "Well, let''s keep it secret for now."


    Yu Long nced at Thalia''s training materials and stored them inside the Sky Poison Pearl. He whistled and returned to the Imperial Demon Pce, finding Thalia and Tempest had lunch together.


    He watched them from the hall and shook his head. He didn''t want to bother them and went to visit Chu Yuechan.


    Arriving at Chu Yuechan''s room, Yu Long stopped his steps. He peeked inside and sighed in amazement because he could feel an immense sword intent from the other side of the door.


    Although the sword''s intent is far from being able to injure, Yu Long still found it impressive. If Chu Yuechan could master it, she might be the number one sword master in the Primal Chaos Dimension.


    Thinking about it, Yu Long hoped this little thought woulde true soon.


    Yu Long kept walking and visited Huan Caiyi''s room this time. For some reason, he could hear her groaning inside.


    "Hmm?" Yu Long didn''t have a hobby of eavesdropping. His senses are just that sharp.


    He briefly scanned Huan Caiyi''s room and found her meditating inside using the Sky Demon Sutra. Due to the intense pressure her brain must endure, her body consumes energy faster than fighting.


    Huan Caiyi''s body temperature rose rapidly, burning the precious rug under her.


    Yu Long didn''t step in because the Wind Spirit had appeared and assisted Huan Caiyi by blowing a cold breeze to lower her body temperature.


    Sure enough, Huan Caiyi opened her eyes and looked refreshed. There is a faint afterglow on her beautiful face.


    "Who is there?" Huan Caiyi stared at the door.


    Yu Long wryly smiled, "It''s me."


    "Yu Long? Come in." Huan Caiyi was surprised to find Yu Long was looking for her.


    Yu Long opened the door and walked inside.


    Huan Caiyi wiped her sweat and asked, "Do you need something?"


    "I was just strolling around." Yu Long answered honestly. "How much progress have you made with the Sky Demon Sutra?"


    Huan Caiyi felt Yu Long was diverting the topic. She rubbed her forehead and answered, "I''ve reached the first two levels."


    Yu Long''s eyes lit up, "You''re more talented than I thought, Caiyi."


    "Is that so?" Huan Caiyi giggled.


    "But I''m nothingpared to you."


    "Tell me, Yu Long. How does it feel to be the strongest?"


    Yu Long was stunned by Huan Caiyi''s question and calmly waved his hand. "Strongest?"


    "No, I didn''t dare to im such a title."


    "I''m strong. But I''m not the strongest."


    Huan Caiyi smiled faintly, "I see..."


    "Would you like to talk about mundane things with me?"


    "Well, I have free time to spare." Yu Long answered smoothly.

    Link: /NineClouds69


    --- Chapter 277 ---


    Yu Long and Huan Caiyi chatted in the room. The sunlight prating the room turned into moonlight slowly, decorating the floor with a faint gauze of white specks.


    When Huan Caiyi asked Yu Long to talk about mundane things, he''d never expect her to continue through. They didn''t chat much about their heavy stuff and only threw a bunch of useless questions.


    It starts with what Yu Long''s favorite food was growing up.


    Yu Long answered it with chicken noodle soup.


    And Huan Caiyi responded with a puff pastry.


    Even though their conversation started randomly, the mood eased up eventually.Huan Caiyi felt like she was closer to Yu Long now.


    Not much, but they indeed be closer than before.


    Likewise, Yu Long felt the same. The aloof Little Demon Empress actually has a surprising side to her, which is probably never revealed if her fate doesn''t change.


    Huan Caiyi''s life is tragic, after all. She lost all her family, and on the day of her marriage, her soon-to-be husband vanished from this world.


    After knowing the proprietor behind their deaths, Huan Caiyi would like to gut off Duke Ming and roast his intestine. However, she couldn''t make a sudden move and must be patient.


    "I like winter..." Huan Caiyi randomly said.


    "Why so?" asked Yu Long calmly.


    Huan Caiyi traced her fingers on the ground, seeing the shadow they made from the moonlight. "Because winter kept me cold."


    "For a century, I''ve endured the pain of my bloodline''s eruption."


    "Sometimes I''d take a deep plunge on a nearbyke, but it wasn''t enough."


    "The coldness of winter, however, suppressed the heat perfectly."


    "It''s almostforting, you know? Amidst all the pressure I must endure in my life." Huan Caiyi sighed, reminiscing old memories.


    "What about you?"


    Yu Long stumped before answering unsurely, "I don''t know. I don''t particrly like any season."


    "As long as I''m still breathing, any season is good."


    "That''s too vague, Yu Long. Pick one."


    "You''re forcing me to answer your question now?"


    "Yes. Do you have a problem with it?" Huan Caiyi shed a faint smile at him.


    After a brief moment, Yu Long sighed, "Fine. If I have to choose, then I''d pick Fall."


    "Fall? Is there any reason you picked this season?" Huan Caiyi couldn''t help but ask curiously.


    "Thinking about your question, I could only imagine falling leaves in my home''s courtyard. Their color changes signify their ends on the cold ground..." Yu Long waved his hand.


    "Well, I don''t know why depressed things shed in my mind. But now that I thought about it, the falling leaves signify a new start, too. They carried nutrients for the ground and sustained a new tree to grow."


    "It''s ironically poetic for the old to die and sacrifice itself for the young."


    "My parents had sacrificed many things in their lives, only wishing me to grow healthy and be a decent person."


    "There is no ''decent'' about you, Yu Long." Huan Caiyimented with a twitching mouth. "I had to say, your parents are severely underestimating your potential."


    Yu Long chuckled, "Hey, I''m a reincarnated person. It''s not potential anymore, but experience."


    "Is that so?" She rolled her eyes.


    Then, she realized something. "Yu Long. Did your family know..."


    "Know of me as a reincarnated person? They don''t."


    "Hmm? I thought you''d tell them. After all, family is the closest."


    Yu Long shook his head gently and replied calmly, "Knowing me as a reincarnated person isn''t that important to them."


    "Not to mention, unlike those in my group, my family''s situation is a bit special. I can''t drag them into my problem while they had theirs."


    "So far, only my closest subordinates and lovers know about my reincarnation."


    When Yu Long suddenly mentioned ''lover'' in his sentence, Huan Caiyi''s heart couldn''t help but warm up slightly. If her heart could jump, it would jump from how much it beat.


    Fortunately, Huan Caiyi knew how to suppress her emotions.


    Yu Long nced at the window and added, "Everyone has a secret. I have one, you have one, and even my parents have one."


    "We keep it secret, not always because we don''t want people to know."


    "We kept it secret because it was convenient."


    "If people saw me as Kaiju Maker every fucking day, it would be such a pain." He gave her a wry expression.


    Huan Caiyi put on a helpless look. She understood what Yu Long meant from the annoyance alone.


    Yu Long gave her a sly look, "Well, we went off-topic for a moment."


    "Let''s see what you think of profound art."


    "It''s the Art of Killing." Huan Caiyi answered decisively. "Anyone who trained it must be prepared to shed their blood or others."


    "There is no in-between."


    "That''s just how this world works."


    "That''s tough." Yu Long bitterly responded. "But you''re not wrong."


    "Still, there is more than killing in profound art. You only grasped one of itsconcepts."


    "Really? What''s your take then?" Huan Caiyi looks intrigued.


    Yu Long wishfully sighed, "To me. Profound Arts is a way to uncover the truth about the universe. They allowed us to climb higher in cultivation and broke our mortal limit."


    "Are you telling me you can be God with it?"


    "Yes, you can be God with enough cultivation. However, I want more than that. To see the peak that is shrouded with primordial mists."


    Huan Caiyi stared at Yu Long silently. Her dream was to be stronger and protect the Illusory Demon Realm. However,pared to Yu Long''s goal, her dream seems weaker in passion.


    This man would undoubtedly achieve his goal.


    "The moon is beautiful tonight." Yu Long suddenlymented, gaining Huan Caiyi''s attention.


    Huan Caiyi looked out the window and saw a white moon hanging in the sky, shining beautifully. "Indeed."


    Yu Long suddenly stood up, "Well, let''s stop here. It''ste already."


    "Remember, you have a big day tomorrow."


    Yes, tomorrow is none other than the One Hundred Years'' Reign Ceremony.


    The day Huan Caiyi and Yun Canghai had been waiting for.


    Huan Caiyi stared at Yu Long with beautiful, glimmering eyes. Gosh, the moonlight made her more stunning tonight.


    She looks like a moon fairy.


    "See you in the morning, Caiyi." Yu Long waved his hand, walking out.


    Huan Caiyi''s eyes locked on Yu Long''s broad back as she shouted, "Yu Long!"


    "Yes?" Yu Long stopped by the door. He turned around and saw Huan Caiyi''s hopeful eyes.


    Huan Caiyi pursed her lips, "Thank you."


    "Thank you for chatting with me all this time."


    "You don''t know, but life as an Empress is very lonely."


    "So, I will remember this... I owe you one."


    "You''re wee." Yu Long smiled back and disappeared from the door frame.


    Huan Caiyi silently stared at the empty spot for a few minutes before sighing and lying on her carpet motionlessly. Even then, her eyes were bright, and her heart pounded rapidly.


    "I mustn''t suppress my feelings..." She mumbled, recalling Chu Yuechan''s words back then.


    "Yu Long. Why are you so extraordinary?"


    "I can''t help but want to find out everything about you..."


    "You''re making me lose control. Everything."


    Soon, Huan Caiyi drifted to sleep. She consumed a lot of mental energy when cultivating Sky Demon Sutra.


    Unknown to her, Yu Long hadn''t moved that far from her bedroom and returned after she fell asleep. Looking at the sleeping fairy on the ground, he shook his head and brought her to the bed.


    Of course, he wouldn''t do anything to her.


    Yu Long tucked Huan Caiyi into the bed and wished her a good dream.


    "Good night, Caiyi."


    With that, Yu Long returned to his own room. Hey down and stared at the ceiling, "It''s not just you, Caiyi. The Destroyers Trial should start tomorrow."


    "I can''t wait to find what they have for me."

    --- Chapter 278 ---


    The next day, morning rises.


    Sunlight prated the beautiful gaps in the Imperial Demon Pce and awakened all the servants.


    They have prepared the pce over the past few months for the Hundred Years'' Reign Ceremony, and the gate will open for one hundred thousand people all over the Illusory Demon Realm.


    Of course, only those with special status, like the Twelve Guardian Family and major Duke Pces, could be seated at the front seats, attending as an esteemed audience for Huan Caiyi.Though, everything doesn''t look as calm on the surface. Even more chaotic beneath it.


    Last night, while Yu Long and Huan Caiyi chatted their hearts out, the former sensed several ''powerhouses'' entering the Demon Imperial City and gathered all over the ce.


    Some rented inns, some went to the brothel, and some even slept on the street. Their strength varies from the early stage to the peak stage of the Sovereign Profound Realm.


    Yu Long detected four peak Sovereign Profound Masters. None of them were from Huan Caiyi''s side. With the gathering of these experts, there would be a conspiracy in the ceremony.


    Huan Caiyi''s cultivation realm is lower than them all. However, she had an immense Witch''s Talent, Wind Elemental Spirit, and mutated bloodline due to absorbing Evergreen Tree''s dews. Which means you can''t measure her strength with a cultivation base alone.


    So, Huan Caiyi shouldn''t have a problem dealing with these people.


    Several hundred miles from the Demon Imperial City, a masked elder sat on a rock. He faced two gigantic creatures rivaling a mountain and said, "I have prepared everything on my side."


    The gigantic creatures are none other than a cow and an ox. If Yu Long had been here, he would have recognized them as the Heavenly King of Stone and Heavenly King of Song.


    Yes, they are one of many people who would like to sabotage Huan Caiyi''s reign ceremony.


    The cow snorted, "Your Duke Huai Pce should be assured. This king will seal the Demon Imperial City''s south gate and prevent the puny Little Demon Empress from running away."


    "On the other hand, you should fulfill your promise, Duke." added the ox with a threatening voice. "You have promised us the right to enter Golden Crow''s Inheritance Ground and that high-tier Demonic Core."


    The masked elder chuckled, "Calm down. Everything should be fine when the timees. But you''re right. I will give you the deposit first."


    "Here, the Demonic Core that I promised. You can check it yourself." After saying that, he flicked something from his sleeve and sent out a bright, ancient brown light.


    The cow and ox''s eyes lit up. They could feel ancient powering from the light and quickly locked their eyes on a brown-colored sphere with a reddish core.


    They extended their senses to the sphere and mumbled, "This is it."


    ''Our children would be Gods with the nourishment of this Demonic Core. Even that monstrous human in the Demonic Star Secret Realm wouldn''t pose a danger against us!''


    After running from the Demonic Star Secret Realm, the husband-wife Heavenly Kings had been hiding in their secret liars. They are onlying out because they must meet the Masked Duke as promised.


    If not for the better prospects of their triplet children, they wouldn''t dare toe out. At first, they nned to fish for rare Demonic Cores in the Secret Realm, but it was impossible with the chaos that ensued back then.


    They have fish subpar Demonic Cores to meet the quota yetck thest ingredient to evolve their children''s bloodline. They believed their n would seed with this ancient Demonic Core.


    If Yu Long knew their n, he''dugh his ass off.


    The Demonic Core-! No, the Essence Sphere they obtained from the Masked Duke is not even close to top-tier ones.


    At best, the Essence Sphere only has an intimidation aura left behind from the beast''s essence Yu Long extracted in his first life. It is also a sign of leaking energy, which makes it a worthless product in Yu Long''s eyes.


    "Happy?" The masked elder seemingly smiled behind his mask.


    The cow coughed, "Yes, it seems you''re a human of principle."


    "My wife and I will do our job. However, we still want to enter the Golden Crow''s Inheritance Ground."


    The masked elder nodded, "We can talk that out after the ceremony."


    "Today, Huan Caiyi wouldn''t be able to escape her fate."


    "Well, I will excuse myself... The ceremony will start soon."


    "Let''s meet again in an hour."


    The cow and ox watched the masked elder vanish into thin air.


    "Husband, don''t you feel something is off about that human?" asked the ox with a frown.


    "What do you mean?"


    The ox stared at the Demon Imperial City far ahead andmented, "I felt like this Hundred Years'' Reign Ceremony isn''t simple. Your power can read the invisible fate of the world, so you should notice the chaos aura gathering in the city."


    The cow narrowed his eyes, activating his ability for a bit. "You''re right."


    "Something is off."


    "I felt a great danger would befall us..."


    "This... Do you think we should break our promise with that Duke?" The ox couldn''t help but suggest after hearing her husband''s reply.


    The cow shook his head gently, "We can''t. After taking the Demonic Core, we have formed karma with him. It will impact our children, too."


    "Howplicated."


    "Yes... That''s why we are choosing the winning side."


    "Even though the Little Demon Empress is strong, she couldn''t possibly handle an ambush from all sides."


    Meanwhile, Yu Long awakened from his light sleep. He touched the bed and mumbled, "Too firm."


    He sighed, "I shouldn''t expect much. This bed is already one of the best quality in this continent."


    Although Yu Long is the hidden mastermind of all three continents, he still enjoys quality sleep. When he isn''t researching ''bizarre'' objects and subjects, that is.


    He yawned and narrowed his eyes, "Hmm, people are already gathering outside the pce."


    "Hubby, have you woken up?" Someone knocked on Yu Long''s door.


    Yu Long smiled, "I''m awake. Come in, Yuechan."


    Chu Yuechan entered the room with warm tea. She wore a blue-white robe with a white silk scarf around her fair neck, giving off a fresh and charming feeling on this fine morning.


    Yu Long looked at her from top to bottom, "You look beautiful."


    "Is that so?" Chu Yuechan reacted calmly, giggling inwardly like a fool.


    "Mhm. I felt like getting woken up by a beautiful fairy."


    Chu Yuechan sat beside Yu Long and said, "That''s good. I will try wearing new clothes from now on. I''m trying this new outfit because of my new insight into sword intent."


    "It''s the scarf, isn''t it?" Yu Long sensed a faint sharpness from Chu Yuechan''s scarf.


    Chu Yuechan didn''t say anything and nodded. After handing Yu Long the tea, she shared her vision with him.


    Yu Long''s eyes widened slightly, ''This girl is getting stronger and stronger every day. She understood the softness of sword intent by meditating for a night.''


    ''At this rate, not many could rival her.''


    ''But I don''t know if this is good or bad for her growth.''


    After all, Chu Yuechan''s bloodline is that of beast, ice, snow, and space.


    Yu Long sighed inwardly, believing in Chu Yuechan''s potential.


    Another knock echoed in the room.


    "Consort Yu, Her Highness is inviting you to the hall." said a servant with a calm voice.


    "Who the hell is Consort Yu..." Yu Long mumbled in annoyance.


    Chu Yuechan giggled, "You reap what you sow, Hubby."


    Even then, they still went to the hall and found Huan Caiyi in her coronation dress.


    Huan Caiyi wore a beautiful golden-purple dress, highlighting her figure and beauty. She also wore a small crown made in a majestic golden crow''s image.


    Behind Huan Caiyi is Thalia in her disguise, waving her hand at them.


    "Morning, Godfather~!"


    "Morning, Yu Long." Huan Caiyi greeted him with a smile.


    "Morning, Yuechan."


    Yu Long replied wryly, "Morning."


    "Mm. Morning." Chu Yuechan gave Huan Caiyi and Thalia a nod.


    Huan Caiyi rubbed her chin and said, "Are you ready for the crowd? In the ceremony, I would announce the return of the Demon Emperor''s Seal and your engagement with me."


    "It seems I can''t take Consort Yu off my name."


    "Of course, you can''t."


    "Anyway, let''s enter the hall."


    "Wait, where is Tempest?"


    "She''s sleeping..."


    "..."


    "Thatzy bird."


    The four of them walked down the Demon Imperial Hall and heard several murmurs from the area. A servant saw Huan Caiyi and made a sign to other servants in the area.


    "Her Majesty, Demon Empress, is entering the hall!"


    After that, respected chants erupt from the hall.


    "Hail, Demon Empress!"


    "Long Live, Demon Empress!"

 Chapter 282: Are You Talking About This?

    Chapter 282: Are You Talking About This?


    I have added this fanfic to my P4treon Page. You can support me and read advanced chapters there. It motivate me to write more chapters for you guys!


    Link: /NineClouds69


    --- Chapter 279 ---


    Huan Caiyi''s arrival caused a long round of wee chants echoing in the Demon Imperial Hall. Even though there are some unpleasant gazes, most people are still respectful and fearful of Huan Caiyi.


    Over the past hundred years, Huan Caiyi has done more than grieve.


    So, most people are affected by Huan Caiyi''s prestige.


    Arriving to her rightful throne, Huan Caiyi sat with absolute calmness on her face. In fact, her sheer beauty caused many people''s hearts to skip a beat until they remembered who she was. They felt shivers down their spines when remembering how merciless Huan Caiyi was.


    A few inches behind Huan Caiyi''s thrones are seats for Yu Long and twodies. Even though the seats are nothing grandpared to the one Huan Caiyi had, they are still better than nothing.


    Not to mention that the audience is more mindful of the seat''s position more than anything. To sit near the Demon Empress means honor and status.They curiously stared at Yu Long, Chu Yuechan, and Thalia, wondering who they were.


    The Twelve Guardian Family''s patriarchs already knew about Huan Caiyi''s rtionship with Yu Long but only smiled inwardly and said nothing when seeing these people''s confused gaze.


    Those from opposing factions, such as the Duke Huai Pce, had a questioning look on their faces, which made the patriarchs want tough at their iing demise.


    Yu Long ignored the gazes and yawned casually. He lifted his right arm on the armrest and supported his chin on his hand, putting an uninterested look.


    How arrogant! That''s what people perceived at this very moment.


    But this small action of Yu Long couldn''t help but make people more curious.


    Chu Yuechan and Thalia nearby also gained immense attraction from the audience. Their beautiful appearance rivals Huan Caiyi. If not for their humble choice of dress, they might be on the same level as the Demon Empress.


    Huan Caiyi''s gaze wandered around the Demon Imperial Hall. The sitting arrangement in the Inner Court is ''traditionally'' separated into three spaces, and the middle one was for her.


    On the west wing area are the people who supported Huan Caiyi through and through, like the Twelve Guardian Family and some skilled figures in the Illusory Demon Realm.


    The people who opposed Huan Caiyi with Duke Huai Pce as the leader are in the east wing area. Huan Caiyi didn''t look down on them despite their small numberspared to her side.


    Huan Caiyi also noticed the ''evil'' gaze they were making behind those innocent expressions. She snorted inside because she could sense that man''s presence on the grandest seat in the east wing area.


    Duke Ming!


    He was of medium stature, looking elegant and handsome. His face was rather pale, especially in that red robe. Overall, he looked like a weak schr, yet having this faint yet frightening pressure from his entire body.


    Huan Caiyi knew Duke Ming''s weak schr appearance was only a cover for his jet-ck heart. He has plotted many things behind her back and even murdered her family members with his scheme.


    To her, it was unforgivable. She wished she could tear Duke Ming down to pieces right now.


    Of course, Huan Caiyi maintained a dignified and calm look.


    "Before we start, I have an announcement." She opened her charming lips.


    "This man behind me is Yu Long, and he is none other than my beloved fiance."


    "He and I are engaged after the wondrous experience. You shall address him as Consort Yu until our marriage."


    The audience was ''naturally'' shaken. Strictly speaking, Huan Caiyi should have remarried after one hundred years, but no man could open her cold, locked heart.


    Yet here, out of nowhere, she announced she was in love with someone and even engaged with him.


    How could they not be shocked?


    They couldn''t react and ept this news well.


    Even the patriarchs of the Twelve Guardian Families still found Huan Caiyi''s announcement a bit dazing.


    Meanwhile, the main character of this announcement had his mouth twitching slightly.


    Yu Long secretlyined, ''Consort Yu that, Consort Yu this, can you just give me a better title?''


    Chu Yuechan and Thalia giggled on the side. Yu Long''s little reaction can''t escape their eyes.


    "Your Highness-!" Before anyone could question Huan Caiyi, she pped her hand and silenced the hall.


    Huan Caiyi continued, "Anyway, let''s start the ceremony."


    A loud cheer erupts as oriental music ys in the background. Dancers appeared on the stage nearby, and the servants brought the tastiest foods and wines in the Illusory Demon Realm to everyone''s table.


    Duke Huai Pce''s people frowned. It was clear Huan Caiyi didn''t want to disclose Yu Long''s information to them.


    At first nce, Yu Long looks no more than a handsome boy. However, everyone with a cautious nature always knows to never look down on others, especially those who look harmless.


    Duke Huai kept staring at Yu Long with a weird gaze and asked his father telepathically, ''What do you think, Father?''


    ''This new fiance of that wench might be a new obstacle for us.''


    ''But even with my sharp sense, I can''t sense anything from him.''


    Duke Ming calmly sipped his warm wine, ''We can''t rule out the possibility.''


    ''Huan Caiyi had been unpredictable in thest two decades. Even though she was pitiful, I made her so, but it doesn''t mean she was witless.''


    ''She has cut our influence with the Twelve Guardian Families, preventing us from gathering force to rebel against her. However, she doesn''t know our real power.''


    ''Keep your eyes on the Consort Yu. I will face her after this.''


    ''Understood!'' Duke Huai couldn''t help but feel joy flowing straight to his brain. They would be the ruler of the Illusory Demon Realm in a few moments.


    He looked down, staring at Huan Caiyi''s beauty and licking his pale lips slightly. Who doesn''t want to conquer a cold beauty?


    Huan Caiyi ceremonially drank a 1,000-year-old wine in this festive mood and down it quickly. She raised her cup, "Cheer, everyone."


    Everyone followed Huan Caiyi, unlike Duke Ming, who had drunk his wine, and they waited for her to start the next event.


    Yes, it was questioning and apprising to decide whether they could get more resources for the next hundred years. The Yun Family has declined, and this ceremony will determine their fate.


    Fortunately, Yun Canghai has returned, preventing the Yun Family from losing its position.


    Of course, the evil viins didn''t know about Yun Canghai''s return and recovery of the Demon Emperor''s Seal. They eagerly waited for a juicy piece of meat left behind by the Yun Family.


    People started reporting their status to Huan Caiyi one after another.


    When Yun Qinghong, the current patriarch of the Yun Family, stood up, everyone immediately raised their eyebrows.


    Yun Qinghong steadily walked to Huan Caiyi, showing no sign of paleness or weakness that everyone knew. His breathing is even and carries the solemnity of a patriarch.


    When did Yun Canghai''s cold poison get cured? Everyone thought simultaneously.


    Not only that, but they also felt. Yun Canghai''s body emits a terrifying might of profundity. His cultivation base has be more powerful as well!


    This fact is overturning their opinion about the Yun Family''s fate.


    As Yun Canghai reported the update on his family''s state, everyone observed Huan Caiyi''s expression.


    They couldn''t see much.


    Surprisingly, Yun Canghai finished his report in a few minutes. He didn''t say anything outrageous and said every sentence with utter calmness.


    "I see..." Huan Caiyi said after some time. "Yun Qinghong, you may return and find me tomorrow."


    Everyone was surprised by this oue.


    "Yes, Empress!" Yun Qinghong cupped his hand.


    "WAIT!" A cold voice interrupted the ceremony.


    Huan Caiyi''s lips curled up faintly, ''This is it. You can''t stay calm, don''t you?''


    "What''s the matter, Duke Huai?" She looked up, seeing Duke Huai''s yful look.


    Duke Huai shrugged and replied, "Your Highness, don''t you think we should point out the elephant in the room? Besides your fiance, whose origin is unknown and questionable. The Yun Family didn''t deserve its current position."


    "They haven''t contributed much over the past decade."


    "They also lost our precious artifact, the Mirror of Samsara... And the Demon Emperor''s Seal after thete Demon King''s disappearance to the Profound Sky Continent."


    "Counting all these issues they caused, I believed we should demote them from the Twelve Guardian Families and seize their resources."


    "Of course, if you want to stay blind to it, you can..."


    "But it would be unfair to everyone who works hard, no?"


    Murmurs echoed in the hall. Everything Duke Huai said made sense, but why did it sound malicious? Because it is.


    "Mirror of Samsara, are you talking about this?" Azy voicees from the center of the hall.


    Everyone moved their gazes to thezy-looking young man, who had a silver pendant dangling in his left hand.


    "..." Duke Huai.


    "..." Duke Ming.


    "..." Everyone.


    All of a sudden, the hall turned dead silent.

 Chapter 283: The Climax of One Hundred Years Reign Ceremony!

    Chapter 283: The Climax of One Hundred Years'' Reign Ceremony!


    I have added this fanfic to my P4treon Page. You can support me and read advanced chapters there. It motivate me to write more chapters for you guys!


    Link: /NineClouds69


    --- Chapter 280 ---


    The Demon Imperial Hall bes dead silent.


    Those who waited for good shows were ''obviously'' dumbfounded by this sudden turn of events. They expected no less from Duke Huai to create a problem on this rare asion.


    However, they didn''t expect the mysterious Consort Yu to flip the table and change the oue instantly as if he was ready for this damned situation.


    Well, Yu Long didn''t care much about Duke Huai. It''s just that he found the way this scheming fellow talking is like a third-rate viin, so he wanted to break his momentum.


    When third-rate viins like Duke Huai lost momentum, they would start saying nonsense, and Yu Long wanted to witness it firsthand. Also, Yu Long revealed the Mirror of Samsara to test something.


    After all, the crux of Illusory Demon Realm''s decline is ''actually'' tied to the Mirror of Samsara and its owner. ording to the canon event, Yun Che was supposed to handle this troublesome matter.However, Yun Che''s fate as a protagonist is no longer there.


    With no super-reincarnated goddess in the shadow to help him, he could forget about getting blessed with extreme luck. It doesn''t mean Yun Che''s situation is horrible, though.


    He might not be the chosen one anymore, but he could still grow without the troublesome trials.


    And just as Yu Long expected, Duke Huai stuttered while pointing at the dangling Mirror of Samsara in Yu Long''s hand.


    "Y-You, howe you have the Mirror of Samsara!"


    Yu Longzily leaned on his seat and replied, "What''s wrong with me having the Mirror of Samsara? It''s mine."


    "I have formed a spiritual connection with it."


    Everyone was shocked by this news. There is a big difference between having and owning the Mirror of Samsara.


    The former merely onto the item due to its value, and thetter owned it due to its acknowledgment.


    How long has the Mirror of Samsara stayed in the Illusory Demon Realm?


    A thousand years or more. Yet, no one has ever formed a spiritual connection with it.


    Simply put, the Mirror of Samsara had been ownerless until Yu Long got it.


    In the east wing, Duke Ming''s calm expression faltered. No one wished to know more about the Mirror of Samsara''s secrets more than him. He knew the Mirror of Samsara held a great secret, possibly letting someone reach the Profound God Realm.


    In fact, this is how he enticed the Four Great Sacred Grounds and scheme against the Demon Emperor and Yun Canghai. Duke Ming has nned to take over the Profound Sky Continent after kicking Huan Caiyi from her position and also get the Mirror of Samsara.


    But who would have thought the long-disappeared Mirror of Samsara to appear in the hand of a brat!


    ''Tsk, it seems I have to adjust my n. I must kill this brat first.''


    Huan Caiyi was also surprised that Yu Long owned the lost treasure, the Mirror of Samsara. Yun Canghai has shared a guess that Yu Long might have the Mirror of Samsara because his grandson is supposed to have it.


    But she didn''t expect it to be true.


    ''I knew it! I knew that brat has that damned mirror!'' Yun Canghai, who hid at the Yun Family''s side, scowled at Yu Long.


    "Why so quiet?" Yu Long nced at Duke Huai. "Don''t tell me cat got your tongue?"


    Duke Huai was provoked, "You don''t deserve such treasure!"


    "And why so?"


    "You''re an outsider!"


    Hearing this, Yu Long smiled faintly.


    He has a ''gotcha'' look on his face.


    "You see... I have this nifty status called Consort Yu after I got engaged to Caiyi, so I''m not an outsider." He countered quickly.


    Duke Huai was dumbfounded. He couldn''t argue with Yu Long because it was true. Huan Caiyi announced Yu Long''s status not a while ago, and if Duke Huai said otherwise, doesn''t that make him senile?


    "Huai, step back." Duke Ming calmly ordered.


    He stood up from his seat and walked to the edge of the east wing. He looked down on everyone with an amiable expression, "Little Demon Empress, please forget my son''s rudeness."


    "He was not used to talking with a young, inexperienced person."


    "Hah." Yu Long chuckled because this schemer called him young and inexperienced.


    Calling Yu Long Young isn''t wrong, considering cultivators like Duke Ming are fossil-like. Yet the inexperienced statement is incorrect in every way possible because no one is more experienced than Yu Long in the Demon Imperial Hall.


    Of course, Yu Long won''t expose himself.


    Never interrupt your enemy when he makes a mistake.


    Huan Caiyi also realized this and replied, "Duke Ming. I understand your sentiment, but isn''t calling my dear fiance an outsider a bit too rude?"


    "Not to mention, he said such a thing after I made my announcement just a few moments ago."


    "What do you want then?" Duke Ming went straight to the point.


    "I want Duke Huai topensate Yu Long with a demonic weapon and apologize with a head down," said Huan Caiyi with determination.


    Everyone gasped when Huan Caiyi said that. Compensating Yu Long with a demonic weapon is still okay, but apologizing with a head down is like asking Duke Huai to lick Yu Long''s shoe afterward.


    It''s a ''great'' humiliation, especially when Duke Huai is a senior and Yu Long is a junior.


    Even though Demonic Weapons are rare, Yu Long found them worthless.


    Huan Caiyi knew this, so she went for the second-best deal. Dragging Duke Huai Pce to ditch by making their acting leader apologize.


    ''HUAN CAIYI!'' Duke Huai screamed inside.


    "It''s reasonable, no?" Huan Caiyi smiled at Duke Ming.


    Duke Ming closed his eyes and opened them a secondter, "Little Demon Empress, I think that''s a bit too much."


    "Why don''t we bury the hatchets by giving Consort Yu three Demonic Weapons from my personal stash? What do you think?"


    "I will say sorry on behalf of my son." He said with a friendly expression, bing a pushover in the eyes of others. But inside, he has decided to kill Yu Long more swiftly.


    Huan Caiyi nodded, "Very well..."


    "But I think my son''s words about the Yun Family made sense." Duke Ming suddenly added. "They have contributed nothing in thest decade and have been leeching on our resources."


    "Let''s not count the Mirror of Samsara because it was in Consort Yu''s hand, but what about the Demon Emperor''s Seal?"


    "After the Demon King Yun Canghai went to the Profound Sky Continent, we have never heard of him and the Demon Emperor''s Seal anymore."


    "I think we should demote the Yun Family down."


    "Oh, Demon Emperor''s Seal?" Huan Caiyi reacted indifferently.


    "I see... You do have a point."


    "As expected of Duke Ming, your wiseness knows no bounds."


    "You''re so wise that you killed the Demon Emperor and Little Demon Emperor, too!"


    After continued surprise and shock, Huan Caiyi''s final words rang in the hall and everyone''s heart.


    Duke Ming frowned, "Little Demon Empress. Are you using me?"


    "Yes." Huan Caiyi replied coldly.


    Duke Ming added, "But you have no evidence. You''re just throwing a low punch at me."


    "Who said the Demon Empress doesn''t have evidence!" A shout came from the crowd.


    BOOOOOOOOOOOM!!


    A thunderous roar echoed in the west wing as an elderly with countless cyan arcs appeared. The elder shot out to Duke Ming and dragged him to the sky.


    Duke Ming''s eyes widened, "You, Yun Canghai!"


    "How could you be here?"


    "You''re supposed to be..."


    "Died? Too bad, THIS DADDY DEMON KING COME FROM HELL TO BEAT YOU UP!" Yun Canghai grinned madly.


    Huan Caiyi stood up from her throne and raised her right hand, showing the Demon Emperor''s Seal.


    "I, Huan Caiyi, have regained the Demon Emperor''s Seal!"


    "My people, Duke Ming has coborated with outsiders and killed the Demon Emperor and Little Demon Emperor. He also nned to rebel alongside everyone on Duke Huai Pce''s side."


    "Today, as the Demon Empress! I want to bring them to justice by sentencing Duke Ming and everyone on his side to death!"


    "Will you follow me?"


    "Yes, Empress! Your wish is ourmand!" The Twelve Guardian Families'' patriarchs rose from their seats.


    "BRING THE JUSTICE!"


    An array formation appeared in the Demon Imperial Hall''s core area, preventing Duke Huai Pce from running away. It is Heavenly Grotto Sealing Arrays the Twelve Guardian Patriarchs nned to use.


    In the sky, Duke Ming was stunned by Huan Caiyi''s acts.


    He stared dumbly at the Demon Emperor''s Seal in her hand and couldn''t help butugh. "Haha, I see..."


    "You nned this from the beginning."


    "Yun Canghai, you''re as cunning as always."


    Yun Canghai snorted, "Trash Ming. You have killed the Demon Emperor, Little Demon Emperor, and my loyal brothers and sisters."


    "And I will avenge them today!"


    Duke Ming calmed down and calcted something. He nced at the Demon Imperial City''s south gate and smiled, "You''re not the only one with a n, Canghai."


    BOOOM!


    Two gigantic creatures trampled Demon Imperial City''s south gate and rushed to the Demon Imperial Pce. The Heavenly King of Stone and Heavenly King of Song have entered the battlefield.


    Yun Canghai entered his Thunderer State and roared, "BRING IT ON, FOOLS!"

    --- Chapter 281 ---


    A thunderous roar echoed in the Demon Imperial City.


    Yun Canghai''s body explodes with demonic might. His upper robe burst with cyan-colored lighting arcs, revealing his copper-like muscr upper body.


    Two bright electro-infused horns grew on Yun Canghai''s forehead, making him look more fearsome. With such an overwhelming transformation, Yun Canghai''s cultivation base also shot to the peak of Sovereign Profound Realm.


    Duke Ming was stunned. ''What is this transformation? I don''t remember the Yun Family having such a powerful secret technique?''


    Of course, the Yun Family didn''t have such a thing. After all, Yun Canghai got [The Way of Thunderer] from Yu Long. It was a lesser version of [Art of Lightning and Thunder], which Yu Long developed and modified to suit Yun Canghai and Yun Che.


    [The Way of Thunderer] allowed a cultivator to explosively increase their power by charging themselves with the power of thunder. Even though Yun Canghai hadn''t mastered this profound art, he was able to master it enough to beat the crap out of Duke Ming.Yun Canghai sensed arrows of rocks suddenly flying toward him. He didn''t even turn around and dodge them with ease.


    ''What the... Even if Yun Canghai was a peak Sovereign, he shouldn''t have been able to dodge that. My Demonic Stone Ballista is ''literally'' imbued with strange magic!'' Duke Ming''s eyes widened because Yun Canghai could sense his Demonic Weapon''s attack.


    Yes, the Demonic Weapon''s power is indeed strange.


    However, Yun Canghai''s Thunderer State is not a pushover. His senses got enhanced beyond the boundary of profound sensing, which granted him extreme reflexes to dodge nearly any attack.


    In short, he has a lightning-like reflex.


    On the other hand, Yun Che obtained lightning-like speed.


    Yun Canghai kicked the air and suddenly appeared before Duke Ming with a grin, "THIS IS FOR DEMON EMPEROR, YOUR TRAITOROUS BASTARD!"


    He gathered immense strength and thunder energy in his left leg and kicked Duke Ming''s crotch with nearly all his might.


    Duke Ming wanted to dodge, but it was too fuckingte.


    Kacha!


    "UUUUUGGHHHHHAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!" A frightening, blood-curdling scream echoed in the Demon Imperial City.


    Everyone somehow felt a shiver down their spine, especially men.


    Yu Long facepalmed, "Damn... He really hit that fellow''s guts."


    BOOM!


    After that, Duke Ming was sent tumbling down and crashed to the ground with a pained look. He held his crotch and trembled with beads of cold sweat.


    "Y-You fucker..." Duke Ming couldn''t even speak without stuttering due to the pain.


    Yun Canghai flipped his finger at Duke Ming, "That''s what you get from being a hideous little bitch, Trash Ming."


    "Just you know, every attack I make is enhanced with Thunder Qi, so say goodbye to your little brother and his little eggs. Hehe, wee to the Chrysanthemum Field."


    Hearing Yun Canghai''s words, Duke Ming couldn''t help but be pale because he realized he couldn''t feel that region anymore.


    It was all numb. Not in a good way.


    But that numbness was reced with anger very quickly.


    ''I let my guard down. Fuck, there is still distance between me and the Heavenly Kings.'' Duke Ming gritted his teeth.


    "You wanted to fight? Let''s fight then!"


    Duke Ming''s cultivation base soared on the spot, and blood-colored light exploded from his be. Dirty, crimson me burst out from his body and covered him like a suit of red armor.


    BOOM!


    Duke Ming soared and shed with Yun Canghai in the sky.


    At the same time, the Demon Imperial Hall''s core area fell into chaos.


    With the Heavenly Grotto Sealing Array, the Duke Huai Pce and its supporting factions couldn''t help Duke Ming nor run from the Demon Imperial Hall.


    "Attack!" Yun Qinghong and other patriarchsunched bombardments toward Duke Huai Pce.


    Duke Huai was flustered because this was too much. They actually fell for that damned Huan Caiyi''s trap.


    "Everyone, calm down!" Duke Huai shouted.


    "Use your Demonic Weapons and y our way out of this ce!"


    "Show them the power of Duke Huai Pce!"


    Duke Huai''s people pulled several Demonic Weapons from their spatial storage, prepared to fight the Twelve Guardian Families.


    "Oh, shut up..." Yun Qinghong shed toward Duke Huai and mmed his palm on thetter''s stomach.


    COUGH!


    Duke Huai spewed blood, "H-How did you... Howe you are so fast?"


    Yun Qinghong coldly replied, "You humiliated and threatened my family earlier. As the Patriarch, how can I let that slide?"


    BAM!


    "Get down!" Yun Qinghong mmed Duke Huai down, causing a pir of profound energy to rise. The ground shattered and caused Duke Huai''s supporters to panic.


    "GO!" The other patriarchs rushed with their enhanced strength. After getting Heavenly God''s Spiritual Veins, their cultivation experienced a qualitative change.


    Their bodies are light and full of power.


    If they are tigers, they currently feel like they have wings.


    "Argh!"


    "Greatest Ambition Under Heaven, when did you break through?"


    "I remember your cultivation is simr to mine. This strength is not something you should have in a short time!"


    "Hehe, not telling." The Elf Patriarchughed yfully.


    "No, It''s not just that damned Elf!"


    "The other Patriarchs also be stronger! They are hiding their real cultivation, damn it!"


    Duke Huai''s supporters were dumbfounded. They couldn''t wrap their head around the fact that the Twelve Guardian Families''s Patriarchs magically became stronger.


    Simrly, Duke Huai Pce''s younger generation suffered greatly under Yun Che''s hand.


    Although Yun Che didn''t possess his grandfather''s profound cultivation, he had a creative and versatile mindset that allowed him to wield lightning in many ways one couldn''t think of before.


    Yun Che swiftly danced in the hall with his purple lightning wings. He fought several peak Sky Profound Realm and some early-stage Tyrant Profound Experts from the younger generation.


    Yet none could touch him. He was too fast and would throw spears made of pure lightning, severely injuring them.


    "Stop running! Fight us like a man!" shouted one of the frustrated younger generations.


    Yun Che smiled faintly, "You have twenty dudes on your side, and I''m just with myself."


    "Fight you like a man?"


    "Why don''t you fight me like a man then, Sissy!"


    As expected of the former protagonist, his mouth is very sharp.


    Amidst this chaotic fight, Huan Caiyi calmly watched everyone and closed her eyes. She nced at Yu Long and the twodies, catching them enjoying the sight with tea in hand.


    Her lips curved into a smile because Yu Long was so casual in this situation.


    Huan Caiyi doesn''t know why, but seeing Yu Longzily stirring his tea with a silver spoon looks charming. Maybe it was his ''nonchnt'' aura.


    "You''re not going?" The one asking is Chu Yuechan.


    Huan Caiyi closed her eyes, "I''m waiting for two intruders."


    Thalia curiously added, "Oh, you mean Heavenly King of Stone and Heavenly King of Song?"


    Huan Caiyi nodded, "They are breaking their ways toward the Demon Imperial City. In a few seconds, they should be here."


    "Aren''t you afraid of people dying?" Chu Yuechan was confused by Huan Caiyi''s calmness.


    Huan Caiyi shook her head gently, "I have long evacuated the residents in the area. Given how big this case would be, I expected something like this to happen."


    "Wow, you''re well-prepared." Thalia''s eyes lit up.


    Huan Caiyi didn''t say anything to Thalia''sment, but one could see a wickedness in the empress''s eyes. Huan Caiyi has been suspicious of Duke Ming for years.


    She couldn''t possibly be less prepared for this day.


    "They are here." Yu Long said after sipping his tea.


    BOOOOOOOM!!


    Thest wall separating the Heavenly Kings and the Demon Imperial Pce has shattered into pieces, revealing a gigantic cow and ox.


    "Hahaha, they are here~!" Duke Mingughed excitedly.


    He mocked Yun Canghai with a scornful look, "Canghai, it''s time for you to die!"


    "Oh, who gave you the permission to say that?" A calm voice slowly ascends from the Demon Imperial City.


    "Did you forget about me, Duke Ming?"


    BOOM!


    Maelstrom and a fiery golden sphere appeared, revealing Huan Caiyi in her coronation dress. Behind Huan Caiyi are her Elemental Wind Spirit and a manifestation of a Golden Crow.


    "It''s time to end this." Huan Caiyi faced Duke Ming and the Heavenly Kings with a murderous look.

    Link: /NineClouds69


    --- Chapter 282 ---


    Huan Caiyi''s cultivation base burst forth. She didn''t hold back anymore and released spiritual pressure that made everyone in the city tremble slightly.


    Elemental Wind Spirit released an excited shrieking noise, using the power of the wind to transform into a royal green dress and azure-green crown that covered the left side of her body. Two butterfly wings sprouted from her left back.


    Huan Caiyi''s right side also changed into that of a sparkling, golden dress with a fiery hue. Onerge golden-feathered wing also manifested on her back,pleting the Golden Crow''s transformation.


    BOOM!


    Emerald-golden light illuminated the sky.


    Duke Ming and the Heavenly Kings were stunned by Huan Caiyi''s sudden transformation and increase in strength. They couldn''t help but feel a shiver down their spine.''Run!'' That''s the only thought in Duke Ming''s mind.


    The Heavenly King of Stone frowned deeply. The threat he felt from Huan Caiyi is no less than that monstrous human in the Demonic Star Secret Realm.


    However, he couldn''t give up mid-way.


    With that in mind, the mysterious runes on his purple-furred body lit up and attacked Huan Caiyi.


    "Mysterious Rune: Devour!"


    A ck swirl appeared in the sky and sucked every bit of profound energy in the area, including the one Huan Caiyi wielded.


    Huan Caiyi stretched her hand indifferently, "Spirit Storm..."


    BOOM!


    A typhoon appeared from Huan Caiyi''s palm and shed with the ck swirl, causing a storm in the sky. As if the sky was falling, everyone felt goosebumps when seeing such a sight.


    "Soul-Stirring Song, Luby!" The Heavenly King of Song followed with an unpleasant roar.


    Everyone in the Demon Imperial City suddenly had an urge to vomit. But they also felt once they vomit, they''d lose their lives.


    DUM! DUM! DUM!


    Huan Caiyi felt her heart throbbing when hearing this tune. Her eyes faltered, and her body stiffened.


    Then, the Heavenly King of Stone appeared out of nowhere and mmed its back hoof at her. "Die!"


    A ring satisfaction appeared in the cow''s eyes when his hoof was about to hit Huan Caiyi''s head, hoping it would squash her head like a watermelon.


    Sts!


    When the Heavenly King of Stone''s hoof hit Huan Caiyi, she turned into muddy water and sttered everywhere.


    "HUH??"


    "Do you really think I was that careless?" An indifferent voice brushed the Heavenly King of Stone''s ear.


    BAM!


    The cow felt his head rammed by something, which caused him to neigh in pain and crash to the ground.


    Huan Caiyi appeared from thin air. Behind her are two giant hands made of pure elemental wind power. She ambushed the Heavenly King of Stone with them earlier.


    Even though Huan Caiyi only got Elemental Wind Spirit for a few days, she has developed many techniques. The giant hands were made byyering pressured wind, allowing them to explode with extreme elemental power and inflict tremendous physical damage.


    She called it Exploding Wind Fist.


    She could enhance this technique further by adding a wisp of her Golden Crow''s impure me, turning into Golden Wind Exploding Fist.


    Of course, a powerful technique is useless if it can''t hit its target.


    That''s why Huan Caiyi baited the Heavenly King of Stone with her low-level witch spell, Muddy Recement. It''s part of Sky Demon Sutra''s basics that Yu Long derived from Witch''s books of enhancements.


    Sky Demon Sutra is more than a Mana-Cultivating Technique. It has magical theories and applications in line with the Profound Way.


    "Husband!" The Heavenly King of Song said in shock.


    Even Duke Ming, who was in the process of running away, stared at the groaning cow on the ground with disbelief on his face.


    Huan Caiyi nced at the Heavenly King of Song, "You''re next."


    The ox roared, "How dare you! How dare you hurt my husband!"


    "Song of Perishing Days..."


    Several invisible swords appeared in the air, following the Heavenly King of Song''s tunes. They rushed toward Huan Caiyi and made her frown slightly.


    Since Huan Caiyi possessed Elemental Wind Spirit, she was sensitive to sonic or sound-type attacks. In fact, this is why the ox''s Soul-Stirring Song earlier couldn''t affect her much.


    Huan Caiyi dodged them all with ease, rushing toward Duke Ming.


    ''Fuck!'' Duke Ming panicked because Huan Caiyi actually dragged the invisible swords alongside her.


    He hurriedly activated more demonic weapons, summoning a giant purple shield and a talisman. The shield transformed into a small fortress to block Huan Caiyi from approaching him.


    As for the talisman, it burst into a giant blue me demon that threw a punch at Huan Caiyi.


    Huan Caiyi has learned every Demonic Weapon''s abilities that Thalia made for Duke Huai Pce. So, she wasn''t surprised when Duke Ming pulled these off.


    A few meters before the giant blue me demon''s punch reached Huan Caiyi, she twisted her body mid-air and somersaulted toward the Heavenly King of Song.


    "!!!" Duke Ming and the Heavenly King of Song were speechless.


    Swoosh!


    Huan Caiyi looked like she was teleporting above the Heavenly King of Song before throwing Exploding Wind Fist.


    BOOOM!


    ROAR!


    The Heavenly King of Song wailed in pain, crashing against the Demon Imperial Pce. Purple blood flowed on the ground.


    "Don''t forget about me, Trash Ming, hehe." Yun Canghai appeared behind Duke Ming and gathered lightning energy into his fingertips, stabbing the traitorous viin in the shoulder.


    Soon, beautiful arcs of blood were ''instantly'' drawn out.


    Duke Ming''s body flew and bounced against the small fortress. To his surprise, Yun Canghai sent him off to Huan Caiyi.


    That old demon has calcted the trajectory of his attack.


    Huan Caiyi was ready to attack Duke Ming. She condensed manyyers of wind elemental power and Golden Crow''s impure me in her right hand, balling it into a fist.


    With that, sheunched a fierce punch.


    This punch also contained one hundred years'' worth of Huan Caiyi''s hatred and frustration.


    Golden Wind Exploding Fist!


    Duke Ming''s eyes widened as his body was numb. He couldn''t dodge this attack.


    Damn you, Yun Canghai!


    ''Demonic Turtle Mask.'' Duke Ming utilized another Demonic Weapon, which put on a green mask on his face.


    Huan Caiyi didn''t care and punched him in the face, breaking the mask in one strike.


    BAM! CRACK!


    Duke Ming felt his head was about to get ripped off his body. Thankfully, the green mask prevented him from dying.


    "AAAAAAAAAARGGHHHH!" Still, he was in pain.


    Yun Canghai was waiting for Duke Ming to get attacked by Huan Caiyi. He grinned and attacked with the same intensity, which sent Duke Ming flying up again.


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    Yun Canghai and Huan Caiyi were ying volleyball, bombarding Duke Ming with their attacks. They were ruthless, attacking Duke Ming without killing him.


    BAM! BAM! BAM!


    Suddenly, the knocked-out Heavenly King of Stone awakened. He roared at the sky, "Little Demon Empress, take this attack of mine."


    "Mysterious Rune - Chaos Stone Spear."


    A ck spear manifested from the cow''s rune and flew straight toward Huan Caiyi.


    Huan Caiyi swiftly grabbed Duke Ming by the neck and threw him at the iing ck spear.


    "AAAAAAAAAAAAAARGGGGHHHH!"


    Everyone watched Duke Ming get brutally impaled by the ck spear in the stomach before crashing into a nearby tower.


    He got pinned on the tower, twitching but still alive. Barely.


    "Nice, Empress!" Yun Canghai praised Huan Caiyi.


    Huan Caiyi smiled at this sight, "He deserves it."


    "..." The Heavenly King of Stone.


    She turned around and faced the Heavenly King of Stone.


    "You should have kept pretending to be dead."


    "How unfortunate. I have to kill you now."


    "No one shall tarnish my city and get away with it."


    ''Most of the destruction was caused by you...'' The cow was speechless at Huan Caiyi''s statement.


    The Heavenly King of Stone gritted his teeth, "Damn you!"


    "I don''t want to do this, but you forced me..."


    "Mysterious Rune - Great Bull Demon''s Call."


    Three bumps on the Heavenly King of Stone''s back pulsated, revealing three faint silhouettes. They interacted with each other and sent out a stream of demonic energy.


    BAM!


    A gigantic minotaur appeared, wearing crimson armor and a golden battle axe in his hand. The neer''s aura was that of a half-step Divine Origin Realm.


    Huan Caiyi stared at the armored bull demon, "Is this his trump card?"


    "It''s strong, but..."


    "I''m stronger!"

    Link: /NineClouds69


    --- Chapter 283 ----


    Huan Caiyi faced the armored minotaur with a calm expression.


    She showed no shred of nervousness. Instead, her eyes flickered with a faint yet determined fighting spirit.


    When Huan Caiyi obtained new powers, she didn''t use them to their full potential and forced herself to experiment with visualization. Even Huan Caiyi''s Witch Power only became stable recently with the help of Sky Demon Sutra.


    Roar!


    The minotaur roared at Huan Caiyi, rattling its crimson armor. The beast swung its battle ax down and struck the ground heavily, causing a sudden eruption.


    Under everyone''s shocked gaze, a wave of red-hotva exploded and sprayed everywhere.Bang! BOOM!


    It happened so fast that everyone couldn''t react to it.


    Of course, there are some exceptions.


    Huan Caiyi and Yun Canghai reacted quickly, creating a thunderous storm that swept theva away from the Demon Imperial City. Seeing their sh-like reaction speed, the Heavenly King of Stone grumbled.


    This unhappiness onlysted for a second as the cow chuckled. ''Hehehe, do you think the power of God is this simple?''


    ''The Minotaur Lord will give you a taste of despair!''


    Huan Caiyi nketed theva with the power of wind. Then, Yun Canghai reinforced it with his lightning energy. However, they quickly discovered the bubblingva''s temperature was rising rapidly.


    Yun Canghai''s eyes widened, "Damn it! This thing will explode."


    Huan Caiyi frowned because this tactic was indeed despicable. She would never expect less from a wicked summoned creature.


    She breathed in, forcing her mind to think at extreme speed.


    She looked around aimlessly before curling her lips, "I see..."


    "So, that''s what you wanted to do."


    The armored minotaur suddenly dashed toward Huan Caiyi''s side and swung its battle ax. It used theva burst to distract them.


    Huan Caiyi anticipated this and mmed her palm against the air. The act caused highly concentrated wind and fire energy to detonate rapidly, charging at the iing enemy with a palm-shaped firecloud.


    The minotaur got pushed to the city''s wall and stumbled back.


    "Yun Canghai, look out for the Heavenly King." She also warned while throwing half of her attention on the sizzlingva.


    "Yes, Empress!" Yun Canghai noticed the Heavenly King of Stone had charged at him. Several ck ripples have surrounded the Demon King, forcing some lightning arcs out.


    The Heavenly King of Stone''s runes lit up. He transformed from a rune-covered cow to a purple-armored cow with sharp ebony tusks.


    "Come on..." Yun Canghai groaned in annoyance.


    BAM!


    They shed with pure strength.


    Yun Canghai held the Heavenly King of Stone''s tusk. He grabbed it with all his strength and stopped the cow from rushing toward Huan Caiyi.


    However, this left a deep groove on the ground.


    Roar!


    The Heavenly King of Stone''s armor lit up with fiery purple me.


    Sizzle~!


    Yun Canghai hissed and felt the tusk be as hot as burning steel. He released them immediately.


    He snorted unhappily and kicked the cow''s chin up.


    BAM!


    The Heavenly King of Stone bes dizzy. He got sent flying a few meters above the ground.


    Yun Canghai appeared above him like a lightning bolt.


    "Thunderer''s Hammer Crash." Yun Canghai balled his fist and mmed down.


    BOOOOOOOOOOOM!


    "ARGH!" The Heavenly King of Stone felt pain all over his body.


    At the same time, Yun Canghai also sighed heavily. Using Thunderer State for too long consumed his stamina like no tomorrow.


    Yun Canghai hurriedly consumed a pill, recovering his physical fitness and profound energy.


    He looked up and saw that theva contained was about to explode. Not far away, the armored minotaur has already gotten up.


    He was worried for Huan Caiyi.


    Huan Caiyi clenched her hand hard, causing the wind power to wrap theva tightly. It rapidly shrunk to the size of a coconut.


    "Take this back." Huan Caiyi indifferently tossed the condensedva to the minotaur.


    The minotaur''s eyes twitched as the ''coconut'' exploded on its face.


    BOOOOOOOOOM!!


    Thankfully, the minotaur was already outside, so the explosion didn''t affect the Demon Imperial City.


    Well, the wall aside.


    Surprisingly, the armored minotaur only suffered minor burns. Although Huan Caiyi''s wind and fire element enhanced theva explosion, it only scratched the surface of this minotaur''s armor.


    After all, it was born and wieldedva.


    Not only that, but Huan Caiyi also sensed the minotaur be stronger after suffering this ''minor'' damage. It was eye-opening because the pressure she felt from it increased to a genuine Divine Origin Realm.


    Although it was only the 1st Stage of the Divine Origin Realm, the difference between the former and the peak Sovereign Profound Realm is like the sky to mud.


    One 1st Stage Divine Origin Realm Expert could ughter hundreds of peak Sovereign Profound Realms without much effort.


    Of course, Huan Caiyi still looked the same. She had witnessed the fight between those above the Sovereign Profound Realm at the Demonic Star Secret Realm.


    At the time, Yu Long was akin to a God while fighting Ares.


    Huan Caiyi also witnessed Chu Yuechan fight against Poseidon.


    ''Since that woman can do it, I can do it too!'' Huan Caiyi thought while gathering her strength.


    Roar!


    The minotaur swung its battle axe recklessly.


    Huan Caiyi skilfully dodged every sh and did some mental calctions before throwing Golden Wind Exploding Fist.


    BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM!


    One after another, Golden Wind Exploding Fist kept appearing and hitting the minotaur''s head. It was a concentrated attack.


    Eventually, something cracked.


    Blood gushed out from the minotaur''s forehead.


    ''Chance!'' Huan Caiyi ignited her Golden Crow bloodline to bring out her ''strongest'' firepower.


    Yet before Huan Caiyi could do that, an attack bypassed her wind sense and mmed her back.


    "Empress, behind you!" Yun Canghai shouted, but it was toote.


    BAM!


    Huan Caiyi crashed into a nearby forest and coughed slightly. She felt a little numb. She turned around and saw the bloody Heavenly King of Song grinning wildly.


    "Ah, I finally got you~!" The oxughed out loud.


    "You beat me good earlier. How does it feel to be on the ground now?"


    Huan Caiyi emotionlessly stared at the Heavenly King of Song. That ambush is dangerous.


    Thankfully, Huan Caiyi has always been cautious and activated two transformations to cover up her defense.


    The Heavenly King of Song licked her lip, "Demonic Tunes - Underworld Banshee Screaming at Thousand Dragons..."


    SHRIEK!


    A shadowy woman figure appeared in the sky and screamed at the top of her lungs.


    The air vibrated rapidly, turning nearly everything into dust.


    In fact, the trees around Huan Caiyi instantly turned into sawdusts.


    Huan Caiyi wiped blood from the corner of her mouth. She closed her eyes for a moment before opening them again.


    Demonic light flickered in Huan Caiyi''s eyes.


    Shudder!


    The Heavenly King of Song and the armored minotaur shivered. They gave Huan Caiyi a surprised look.


    What was that?


    Huan Caiyi pulled a saber out of nowhere.


    It isn''t an ordinary saber because it is actually a Demonic Weapon that Yu Long has perfected for Huan Caiyi. Yes, the Blood Berserker.


    Even though the saber''s appearance is less demonic now, the saber is still pulsating like a living being, and the red eye near the hilt is burning with a crimson hue.


    At first, Huan Caiyi didn''t n to use Demonic Weapon at all.


    But there is a change in the n.


    SWOOOSH!


    Huan Caiyi instantly appeared below the Heavenly King of Song and shed with her saber.


    SHIING!


    A sharp crimson light shed through the ox''s head.


    "Wait, is that..." The Heavenly King of Song saw a headless ox''s body standing with its tense four legs.


    "My body?"

    I have added this fanfic to my P4treon Page. You can support me and read advanced chapters there. It motivate me to write more chapters for you guys!


    Link: /NineClouds69


    --- Chapter 284 ---


    Huan Caiyi''s sudden burst of power shocked everyone.


    Even the haughty minotaur couldn''t help but take a few steps back after witnessing the Heavenly King of Song get beheaded with a single swing of the crimson saber.


    It was simply too sudden.


    Everyone can''t react to Huan Caiyi''s outburst.


    Huan Caiyi''s eyes are red. Her body radiated intense heat that made one feel suffocated.


    "Empress, she is..." Yun Canghai rubbed his eyes. He felt like he was dreaming.He knew Huan Caiyi was much more powerful than him, but not this powerful!


    Then, Yun Canghai noticed critical information.


    "Wait, this outburst... The Empress''s bloodline is going out of control!"


    "Fuck, this is bad, very bad!"


    As the aide of the Demon Emperor, Yun Canghai was well-versed in the Demon Imperial Family and their secrets. After all, the Demon Emperor trusted him enough to give him the <em>''Demon King''</em>title.


    He knew about the Huan Family''s bloodline problem. Any female member who hasn''t received baptism from the Holy Land would go berserk and damage their lifespan.


    On top of that, they also endured a great degree of pain.


    One hundred years.


    Yun Canghai felt a shiver down his spine.


    He covered his mouth with his trembling hand and gritted his teeth hard enough to bleed from untamed guilt. "I should have realized fucking sooner! Damn it!"


    "One hundred years! The Empress endured one hundred years of extreme pain because I got tricked and sealed at that goddamned Heavenly Sword Vi!"


    "If I can bring the Demon Emperor''s Seal sooner, this wouldn''t happen."


    However, no matter what Yun Canghai does, he can''t change what happened in the past.


    The rice has be porridge. No, it burnt.


    This fact also makes Yun Canghai hate Duke Ming more. He nced at the pinned but dying Duke Ming, "This fucker, if you didn''t betray the Demon Emperor for petty goals, all of this would never happen."


    "I wanted to kill you so bad..." Yun Canghai''s murderous intent was soaring like a great wave.


    But breaking Yun Canghai''s expectation, Huan Caiyi didn''t suffer from her bloodline berserk. Instead, she was using this problem as a method to increase her power rapidly.


    Huan Caiyi felt like her body and soul were going to burn into ashes. Yet her determined eyes showed undying vitality.


    Yes, Huan Caiyi has countered her bloodline problem with the Evergreen Immortal Physique she obtained at the Demonic Star Secret Realm.


    In fact, she used this undying vitality from Evergreen Immortal Physique as a fuel source to make her Golden Crow''s Impure me burn hotter.


    This dangerous operation is only possible because she trained Sky Demon Sutra.


    After all, greater mental power equals greater control over energy.


    If not, Huan Caiyi wouldn''t take risks.


    She also has two fail-safe assurances.


    The first is in the form of her Elemental Wind Spirit.


    The other is in the form of a Demonic Weapon, Blood Berserker.


    Using Elemental Wind Spirit to circte her profound energy in and out and Blood Berserker to absorb her overheated blood before running it back into her body, Huan Caiyi has formed an almost perfect cooling system!


    Unfortunately, this improved method didn''tst long. Huan Caiyi could onlyst five minutes before the Golden Crow''s Impure me burned hotter than she could endure.


    There is also a problem of Blood Berserker over-absorbing her blood.


    ''Four minutes and fifty-five minutes...''


    ''I''m running out of time.'' Huan Caiyi red at the armored minotaur with a stone-faced look.


    "Yun Canghai!"


    "Yes, Empress!" Yun Canghai responded immediately.


    With her back still facing Yun Canghai, Huan Caiyi readied her saber and said, "The other Heavenly King was about to wake up. You take care of him. I will handle this opponent somewhere else."


    "Understood!" Yun Canghai''s body shed with cyan lightning.


    BOOM!


    After saying that, both Huan Caiyi and Yun Canghai sprang into action.


    Yun Canghai grabbed the Heavenly King of Stone''s nose and dragged him out of the city.


    Huan Caiyi exploded with more power and thrashed the minotaur with the Exploding Golden Wind Fist, sending the creature away from the Demon Imperial City.


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    Several explosions happened in the sky of Illusory Demon Realm, followed by a loud sonic boom.


    Of course, these aren''t fireworks, but Huan Caiyi pushed the minotaur with rapid explosions at supersonic speed.


    They are currently heading to the nearest seaside.


    Of course, being in the cornered situation, the minotaur didn''t stay put andunched a magma st at Huan Caiyi.


    Huan Caiyi indifferently pressed, "Keep it down."


    BOOM!


    Roar!


    A furious roar escaped the minotaur''s mouth as its strength once again increased by another level.


    Huan Caiyi''s eyes became cold as she shed her saber decisively, severing one of the minotaur''s arms.


    Ten secondster, the minotaur crashed into a shallow sea.


    Huan Caiyi brandished her saber and shed down, "Exploding Golden sh."


    An explosive force was driven out from Huan Caiyi''s saber, forming a 100-meter-long energy sh.


    Roar!


    The minotaur also swung its battle axe but lost in the confrontation. With that, the energy sh exploded and swallowed the minotaur in a fiery hell.


    This time. The minotaur''s armor couldn''t handle the heat and cracked under pressure. A long gash of bloody wounds appeared on its chest.


    "Not enough." Huan Caiyi''s eyes were ''dangerously'' burned with a golden me.


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    She swung her saber many times, bombarding the minotaur in the golden me explosion. The sea near the beach has evaporated, revealing a sorry-looking minotaur.


    The minotaur''s body is all ck after getting roasted. The armor is no longer there.


    "Again!" Huan Caiyi shouted.


    Roar!


    ''Stop! I''m dying!'' The minotaur couldn''t even voice out its frustration before getting bombarded again.


    Around two minutester, the minotaur has be a pile of white ashes.


    "Just in case..." Huan Caiyi has entered a state of frenzy, swinging her saber for thest time.


    Poor minotaur is deader than dead!


    Then, a crack appeared above the sky, revealing a gold-armored figure from the minotaur race.


    A huff echoed as a hand stretched out, wanting to grab Huan Caiyi.


    This hand possessed a mysterious power, which made Huan Caiyi feel she was in grave danger.


    Huan Caiyi frowned as her power soared once again.


    ''Berserk, Level 2.''


    "Exploding Golden Blood sh!" Huan Caiyi gritted her teeth and infused more heated blood into her saber, unleashing her desperate attack.


    SHING!


    A sharp crimson-gold light exploded with terrifying might and shed the hand away.


    ROAR!


    Waterfall-like blood fell from the sky.


    Huan Caiy felt anger from the other side and was surprised to see a massive golden spear rushing at her.


    The golden spear is the size of a mountain. It was impossible to dodge at this rate.


    Blood came from the corner of Huan Caiyi''s mouth as her body became overheated. Her skin has turned rosy, almost bright red.


    She held the saber with two hands, "I will give my all..."


    "Burning Sky, Blood Saber."


    "Golden Crow''s Might!"


    The image of Elemental Wind Spirit ovepped with shadowy Golden Crow, forming a real mythical bird for a moment.


    The Golden Crow opened its eyes and cawed at the sky, rupturing the air around the area.


    The massive golden spear halted on the spot, freezingpletely.


    Then, it exploded into pieces.


    BOOM!


    The crack also burned,pletely mending the space-time fabrics.


    Huan Caiyi smiled, "This is my limit..."


    "I''ve indeed be stronger..."


    After saying that, Huan Caiyi helplessly fell from the sky and felt her strength leaving her body.


    Even though Huan Caiyi won''t die falling from the sky since her body is quite strong, she''d still get damaged due to the extreme strain she put on this whole fight.


    Before that could happen, a pair of strong arms caught her.


    "Good job." A calm voice full of praise brushed Huan Caiyi''s ears.


    Huan Caiyi recognized this calm voice and smiled unconsciously before closing her eyes in dyed exhaustion.

    Chapter 288: Yun Canghai''s Secret Move


    I have added this fanfic to my P4treon Page. You can support me and read advanced chapters there. It motivate me to write more chapters for you guys!

    --- Chapter 285 ---


    Yu Long stared at the rapidly mending space-time fabric and moved his gaze to the fainted Huan Caiyi in his arm. He smiled faintly, shaking his head because what this woman had done earlier had touched upon the Divine Realm''s standard.


    Even though Huan Caiyi hadn''t realized it, she had qualified to enter the Divine Origin Realm anytime.


    Yu Long chuckled, "Using Blood Berserker to expel heat out of her body and cool her profound veins with Elementa; Wind Power is such a clever move."


    Huan Caiyi''s method to control and exploit her problem ismendable.


    However, if she had even a minuscule error, her body would explode like a firework. Even though Golden Crow''s Impure me is nothing like the real one, it is still a primordial force. By then, Yu Long might not be able to save her.


    Getting burned by primordial force isn''t a good thing.Thankfully, everything turned out to be okay.


    In fact, Yu Long could sense Huan Caiyi getting blessed in disguise.


    The Golden Crow''s bloodline inside Huan Caiyi rapidly purified after the extreme berserk. With every breath Huan Caiyi took, she sweated out impurities from her skin.


    Huan Caiyi will exert muddy and unpleasant impurity if it''s your typical cultivation world cliche. However, she didn''t.


    Yu Long smelled floral-scented sweetnessing from her body.


    Even though Yu Long wasn''t an ant or bee, he still found this scent pleasant.


    "Ah, this is bad." He also got dazed for a moment. His hormones got stirred by Huan Caiyi''s scent.


    "Such a strong pheromone..."


    "It''s not just the Golden Crow''s bloodline. Her Evergreen Immortal Physique also showed an interesting development."


    Yu Long suppressed his raging hormones and sighed. Huan Caiyi keeps giving him a surprise.


    "The Blue Pole Star''s space-time fabric is very fragile." Yu Long mumbled to himself. "It seems I can''t just wait for the invasion to happen."


    "Even if I can''t seal the space around the Blue Pole Star, I can redirect the invasion to the ce with no poption. I can''t have them destroying one city after another."


    The ident with Pandora at the Divine Phoenix City is quite a lesson for Yu Long, especially after he learned about the connection between him and karma.


    "Then, again. I need to gather some materials first."


    "Sealing the entire is difficult, even for me."


    Although Thalia has unsealed Yu Long''s missing potential, he has yet to recover his Kaiju Maker''s full strength. He needs some time to digest and tap into it.


    "How troublesome."


    "I will let Zilong handle it."


    "It''s his job, after all."


    Yes, besides finding the scattered legacy Evil God left behind in the Blue Pole Star, Zilong, the former Primordial Dragon God, was also tasked to protect the Blue Pole Star from external power.


    It''s just that invasion always happened on the internal side.


    You can''t me the guard if the thief could appear from inside like a magician.


    With that, Yu Long sent a message to Zilong with his thoughts.


    On the other side of Blue Pole Star, Zilong, who swam in the atmosphere, froze awkwardly. His massive dragon''s mouth twitched slightly.


    <em>''Bro, you''re pulling my leg here!''</em>Zilong helplesslyined.


    Yu Long feigned Zilong''sint.


    <em>''Oy, don''t ignore meeeee!''</em>


    Yu Long ignored him.


    After taking Huan Caiyi with him, Yu Long teleported back to the Demon Imperial City and saw Yun Canghai fighting the Heavenly King of Stone not far away.


    Yun Canghai''s attacks are explosive and relentless like thunder.


    However, the Heavenly King of Stone is no pushover either. He possessed the body that countered Yun Canghai''s lightning attribute too well.


    "Is she fine?" asked Chu Yuechan, whonded beside Yu Long.


    She''s staring at the lightly dozing Huan Caiyi in Yu Long''s arm.


    Yu Long smiled, "Caiyi is fine. Just a bit tired."


    "I''ve already checked her condition and healed some injury."


    "She will wake up in a few minutes." Yu Long wanted to say Huan Caiyi shouldn''t wake up too fast because the benefit she got right now is enormous.


    How wasteful. Huan Caiyi''s current state would allow her to purify her bloodline and strengthen her immortal physique to another level.


    Unfortunately, the Illusory Demon Realm needed Huan Caiyi at the moment.


    Her people needed the Demon Empress!


    If not, Yun Canghai wouldn''t fight the Heavenly King of Stone with all his might. He trusted Huan Caiyi with every fiber of his being.


    The Heavenly King of Stoneughed, "Useless! Useless! Useless! Useless! Useless! My body is ''thoroughly'' covered with ancient runes that reduce elemental damage by 9/10! Your attack is useless, Yun Canghai!"


    Yun Canghai frowned but still bombarded the cow with his lightning-fast attacks.


    BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM!


    ''Empress''s attack worked earlier, so why didn''t mine?'' Yun Canghai pondered, dodging the stone projectilesing at him.


    As Yun Canghai rushed toward the cow, he punched its head with a lightning-coated fist.


    The lightning dissipated, but his fist''s strength didn''t.


    "Damn you, I already said it was useless!" The Heavenly King of Stone roared at Yun Canghai. "I will kill you, rip your body apart, and drink your blood as an offering for my wife!"


    Yun Canghai''s eyes lit up in realization. ''I see, so that''s why.''


    ''Your body might be invincible when receiving an elemental attack, but it can''t reduce physical damage!''


    ''Empress''s Exploding Golden Wind Technique is apression of cold and hot air, leaving behind a ''shockwave'' that is pure damage with no elemental power inside it.''


    ''You might resist the wind and fire elements. But you can''t resist the explosion from it!''


    With that in mind, Yun Canghai summoned a long sword with his Profound Handle. His body also bulked up, being stimted with lightning energy.


    "Again!"


    Yun Canghai relentlessly charged at the Heavenly King of Stone with pure physical prowess and swordsmanship. Although Yun Canghai preferred to use lightning power now, he never abandoned the roots of the Yun Family, which is the Profound Handle!


    sh!


    Yun Changhai moved like a lightning sh, cutting the Heavenly King of Stone''s skin smoothly without resistance.


    Roar!


    The Heavenly King of Stone also didn''t stay idle. He entered an enraged state and trampled Yun Canghai, pushing the ''demon king'' deep underground.


    They kept exchanging deadly blows one after another.


    The Heavenly King of Stone has deep cuts all over his body. His left eye was also crippled, bleeding profusely.


    On the other hand, Yun Canghai wasn''t any better. His body is battered to oblivion, losing its copper luster. After all, the Thunderer State didn''t offer much in the defense department.


    The Way of Thunderer has defensive property, but Yun Canghai has yet to reach that stage. Yu Long made this Profound Art to be an all-rounder technique.


    Yun Canghai''s body would have fallen apart if he hadn''t gone through the Tempering Training Yu Long devised. Even then, Yun Canghai felt half of his internal organs were ''greatly'' injured.


    Puii!


    Yun Canghai spatted blood to the ground and wiped his mouth with a wide grin on his face.


    "Hehe, you bastard... You''re so persistent."


    "Why don''t you just die under my sword?"


    Grrr.


    The Heavenly King of Stone was exhausted. His wife was ''suddenly'' killed by the puny Demon Empress. He couldn''t afford to be sad in this situation because he might die next.


    Anger. Yes, there is only anger in his heart right now.


    "DIE, YOU IMBECILE!" Atent power burst from the Heavenly King of Stone''s body. A crimson-colored rune appeared and enveloped him and Yun Canghai.


    Yun Canghai''s instinct was alerted. He felt like he would die if he didn''t take this situation seriously. It is a life-and-death situation.


    But Yun Canghai is not a man without ns.


    He has many trump cards he hadn''t used in this fight.


    "I will be sore after this. I hope that brat can mitigate the effect of my secret technique." Yun Canghai recalled Yu Long''s mysterious figure before feeling a little amused.


    "Prepare yourself, brat. I will show you what a ''Bang!'' look like!"


    "DIEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!" The Heavenly King of Stone activated his suicide-dragging technique.


    Watching red lighting into his vision, Yun Canghai sighed. Profound energy pumped into his heart, spine, and mind, charging them with refined electricity.


    "Thunderer''s Secret Move - Godspeed!"


    BOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!


    A cyan sh appeared in everyone''s eyes. It was blinding.


    However, within that split second, the crimson light vanished as if it had never existed.


    When everyone opened their eyes again, all they could see was a gigantic yet headless cow lying on the ground.


    The Heavenly King of Stone''s heady one kilometer away. His face still showed a ferocious look. It seemed even he didn''t realize he had passed away.


    Not far from the Heavenly King of Stone''s head. Yun Canghaiy in a deep crater. His body was all red, and some bones were exposed. Even then, that victorious smile never left his fainted face.


    Pa! Pa! Pa!


    Yu Long pped his hand slowly, "Marvelous, Yun Canghai! Marvelous!"


    "As expected from the man with the<em>''Demon King''</em>title."


    "However, the fight is not over."


    "Yuechan, this is your fight."


    "Understood, husband." Chu Yuechan stared at the Heavenly King of Stone''s corpse.


    On the cow''s back are three huge humps, beating and rapidly absorbing vitality from the corpse. Three small minotaurs burst out, revealing their uncanny appearance.


    One is covering its eyes.


    One is covering its ears.


    One is covering its mouth.


    Yu Long''s eyes shed with a hint of coldness. "It is them."


    Chu Yuechan confidently stepped forward, pulling a white sash from her robe. The white sash straightened like a sword, radiating with immense sharpness and coldness.


    "y All Evils, Heavenly Frost!"

    Chapter 289: Illusory Demon Realm''s Crisis End


    I have added this fanfic to my P4treon Page. You can support me and read advanced chapters there. It motivate me to write more chapters for you guys!


    Link: /NineClouds69


    --- Chapter 286 ---


    Yu Long stared at three monstrous creatures born from the flesh of the Heavenly King. He knew them and had fought them once.


    "Three Foolish Oxens, the symbols of the Minotaur Race''s strength."


    "The one who covered its eyes is Foolish Blind Faith, who has no eyes but believes in its arrogance."


    "The one who covered its ears is a Foolish Listener, who has no ears and doesn''t want others'' advice."


    "The one who covered its mouth is a Foolish Speaker, who has no mouth to speak but render any truth as lies."


    "As expected of Minotaur''s dark sorcery, the Heavenly King of Song and Heavenly King of Stone probably didn''t realize their children didn''t exist in the first ce. They are simply carriers for these monsters'' rebirth."Chu Yuechan walked forward confidently, "y all Evils, Heavenly Frost."


    Extreme chills permeated the area, covering every surface with thick frost and the sky with snowkes. Besides coldness, one could feel unrivaled sharpness from the frost and snowkes.


    Once touched, they felt like their body and soul had split apart.


    Splurts!


    Chu Yuechan swung her sash, causing it to sway like a whip and sh like a mighty sword. Sword intent burst forth and swept the three Minotaurs mercilessly.


    The Minotaur, with a covered mouth, mmed its legs onto the ground and created a violet energy barrier, protecting itself and others from Chu Yuechan''s attack.


    However, Chu Yuechan''s sword intent wasn''t so simple. Her sash ripped through the violet energy barrier like a hot knife through butter.


    BOOM!


    A mighty sword cleaved one of the Minotaurs, cutting its ear off.


    It was the Foolish Blind Faith.


    ROAR!


    A painful roares from the Foolish Blind Faith as it runs toward Chu Yuechan andunches a fierce kick.


    Chu Yuechan calmly side-stepped and dodged the kick. But reacting to her dodge, the Foolish Blind Faith somersaulted in the air and kicked her sash heavily.


    BANG!


    ''Hmm, quite a heavy kick. Also, I didn''t expect this flexibility from such a massive body.'' Chu Yuechan thought while getting sunken into the ground.


    ''Overall strength, peak Monarch-level, and it is still growing.''


    The Foolish Listener and Foolish Speaker also made their moves toward Chu Yuechan. One kicked the ground and sent a boulder flying at her, and the other gazed at her fiercely with those evil eyes.


    Chu Yuechan nonchntly sighed, "Is this the power of otherworldly monsters?"


    Although Chu Yuechan killed Poseidon a while ago, she still found these monsters from another world fascinating. They could rapidly grow, which makes cultivators wonder about their powers.


    (A/N: Poseidon? More like <em>Posei-Down!</em>I''m Joking, Okay!)


    Of course, fast growth doesn''t mean otherworldly beings have no weakness.


    One of the fundamentals in this world is profundity.


    Chu Yuechan understood this from Yu Long. Cultivating fast doesn''t mean one''s strength is on par with others. One mightck a deep understanding of the universalws, richbat experiences, and the courage to decide in life-and-death situations.


    These Minotaurs fell into that category. Chu Yuechan watched them using their unique powers, yetcking understanding of those abilities is like watching toddlers swinging knives around randomly.


    They are dangerous, but she could proceed with them with caution.


    "No foundation, no understanding, just pure raw power..."


    "How sad and foolish. You don''t know the joy of Improvement."


    Chu Yuechan turned her long sash soft again, utilizing her understanding of the softness of sword intent. The frost around them melted as she swung her sash slowly.


    At first, it''s slow. Then, the Minotaur felt their surroundings warped into something else.


    "Heavenly Snow Supreme Sword, Revised." Chu Yuechan''s eyes locked on them.


    "Reflection of Dimensional Fabrics..."


    Shing! Shing! Shing!


    The three Minotaors felt dangerous crawling. It happened instantly.


    They limit their senses stubbornly, but those who can see witness countless swords filling their vision, and those who can''t see hear sharpness invade their personal space.


    Death!


    A grim premonition the Foolish Oxens felt at this very moment.


    SPLURTS!


    ROOOOOOOOOOR!


    Two of the Minotaurs roared in pain.


    One with mouth closed grunted, feeling its soul. No, it felt like their souls were ''unnaturally'' injured by Chu Yuechan''s attack.


    Chu Yuechan''s sword sh transcends space-time. They couldn''t even react to it.


    Foolish Speaker red at Chu Yuechan and used its power, twisting the truth with lies.


    "I see... So, this is your power." Chu Yuechan narrowed her eyes and felt the sharpness surrounding her.


    The Foolish Speaker was injured. It was the truth. By twisting it, Chu Yuechan would suffer the same injury.


    Chu Yuechan nced at her right hand holding the sash and saw a new bloody sh mark on her skin. "Good ability by passing through my Profound Energy, but it must have a limit."


    "From your state, you can only twist truth and lies rted to yourself."


    "If not, thebination of damages from other Minotaurs will make me suffer a little more."


    "But do you think that is enough?" Chu Yuechan clenched her hand, forcing the sh mark to freeze and get covered with frost.


    Injuries like this meant nothing to Chu Yuechan. Her mentality as a sword master is aloof and undisturbed.


    Foolish Blind Faith screamed, summoning a portal.


    However, Chu Yuechan shed at the portal before it could form.


    Then, Foolish Listener used its ability to render Chu Yuechan''s five senses useless.


    Chu Yuechan lost her vision, hearing, smell, taste, and touch. She could feel her grip on the sash slip slightly.


    Chu Yuechan didn''t panic.


    Losing one''s senses is also a form of training.


    She could hone her Profound Sense and Sword Intent, using them as her own senses.


    ''Husband knew this, wanting to check my progress.'' Chu Yuechan misunderstood Yu Long''s intention.


    To Yu Long, the Three Foolish Oxens couldn''t pose a threat against Chu Yuechan. He was confident in her prowess.


    Well, thankfully, Chu Yuechan took it in a good way.


    Chu Yuechan''s sword intent exploded, sensing the world with a silk-like sword sense.


    "Like silk, smooth, filling the gap of void." Chu Yuechan instinctively dodged an iing attack.


    The Foolish Speaker and two others were shocked. Thebination of their abilities could even kill a God in their world, so how could this female human dodge after losing her senses?


    Fear? Pain? What are those?


    Chu Yuechan only has two things in her mind. Yu Long and her Path of Swordsmanship!


    "Sword Dance..." With a sword-like sash in her hand, she stepped forward. Her movement is slow yet exudes such a formidableness.


    The Foolish Speaker wanted to twist reality to rob Chu Yuechan''s ability to walk.


    However, it was toote.


    Chu Yuechan arrived before its eyes and shed her sash with a firm look on her face. There is no hesitation.


    Hesitation means defeat!


    sh!


    The Foolish Speaker lost its head.


    Before the other two Foolish Oxens could react, Chu Yuechan moved again.


    She appeared behind the Foolish Listener, flicking her sash.


    "Die." She said calmly.


    Another Foolish Oxen has fallen, leaving only the Foolish Blind Faith.


    Foolish Blind Faith trembled because it just lost its two brethren.


    "You''re next..." Chu Yuechan stared at the Foolish Blind Faith.


    The Foolish Blind Faith knew Chu Yuechan had lost her sense of sight, but sensing this woman''s eyes staring at it was very frightening.


    Pushed to the corner, thest Minotaur cried and used its forbidden ability to absorb its fallen brethren''s power.


    It grows into a giant over one hundred meters tall, with two extra pairs of hands and even bat-like wings.


    Chu Yuechan looked up, "Did you think bing big means you could defeat me? You''re unbearably naive."


    "One silk into a thousand..." She flicked her sash.


    "One sword into a thousand..."


    <strong>[Heavenly Snow Supreme Sword - Silk-like Snow Tide!]</strong>


    An overwhelming yet gentle sword intent burst from Chu Yuechan''s sash, washing away all the impurities in the area.


    The world turned white instantly.


    Crack!


    The giant monster before Chu Yuechan has turned into an ice sculpture.


    Everyone stared at the frozen giant monster and noticed it cracked and gradually turned into ice particles.


    Chu Yuechan''s five senses returned.


    She sighed and closed her eyes, "So, this is Domain..."


    "Also, my Profound Incarnation."


    Behind Chu Yuechan is a thin silhouette of a mysterious woman in a furred white robe, wielding a sword in her right hand. But it''s not an ordinary right hand because each finger looked like beast ws.


    Snowkes also constantly fell on the woman''s head, covering it with mystic white mist. If one looked deep into the cold haze, one might see a pair of predator''s piercing yellow eyes.


    Yu Long stared at Chu Yuechan''s profound incarnation, "Good. With this, we have solved the illusory Demon Realm''s crisis."


    "We can start developing this continent and merge it into the system of Three Great Continents."

    Link: /NineClouds69


    --- Chapter 287 ---


    The Demon Imperial City recovered its calmness.


    The invaders, Heavenly Kings, and Three Foolish Oxens have fallen on the battlefield, yed by Huan Caiyi, Yun Canghai, and Chu Yuechan.


    For Huan Caiyi''s faction, this was such joyous news and development.


    On the other hand, the Duka Huai Faction experienced grim events one after another.


    Duke Huai Faction''s members who didn''t die in the Demon Imperial Hall were quickly thrown into prison cells, awaiting the inevitable demise like Duke Huai and Duke Ming.


    Surprisingly enough, Duke Huai and Duke Ming were still alive, despite their crippling injuries.Well, they couldn''t die until they paid for their sins.


    Although Yun Qinghong and Yun Canghai were more than happy to kill the <em>''viinous''</em>father-son duo, they knew only Huan Caiyi had the authority to end both Dukes.


    Of course, this doesn''t stop Yun Canghai (after waking up) from stabbing here and there on Duke Ming''s body. After all, it was due to Duke Ming''s scheme that he lost his 11 Yun Family''s Guardian Elders and the Demon Emperor.


    Those eleven Guardian Elders are the Yun Family''s pirs of support, and their over a century of absence has pushed the Yun Family to the brink of destruction!


    If Yu Long hadn''te to the Heavenly Sword Vi to watch the Blue Wind Tournament and saved Yun Canghai from that god-forsaken sealing array, the Yun Family might have ended this year.


    Of course, being tsundere that he was, Yun Canghai won''t admit it. He''d rather fight the Scorpion-tailed Demon King again.


    ...


    ...


    <strong>The Next Day.</strong>


    Demon Imperial Pce, Royal Bedroom.


    Huan Caiyi slowly opened her eyes and saw the familiar ceiling entering her blurry sight. She breathed in, clenching and unclenching her slightly strange hand.


    She felt remarkablyfortable. Heavy weight lifted off her shoulders, easing her mind and body.


    "What happened?"


    "After using Berserk Level 2, I passed out..."


    "But I did hear Yu Long''s voice."


    "Did he bring me back here?"


    "I did." A voice brushed Huan Caiyi''s left ear.


    Huan Caiyi hurriedly sprawled on the bed like a shocked cat. She sat on the bed and saw Yu Long on a chair nearby, reading a book and sipping warm wine.


    "Good evening, Caiyi." Yu Long closed the book and smiled at the Little Demon-! No, She''s a genuine Demon Empress now.


    Even then, Huan Caiyi looks charming right now. Her face flushed as she tried to cover her body with the wrinkled quilt.


    Huan Caiyi coughed awkwardly, "Yes..."


    "What happened to the Heavenly King of Stone and that creature?"


    "They died."


    "Really?"


    "Mm. Yun Canghai defeated the cow, then another monster came, and Yuechan yed it with her sword."


    Huan Caiyi kept asking, "How is Yun Canghai''s condition?"


    Yu Long put on a yful look because Huan Caiyi really cherished her loyal subordinate. Well, that''s how a good leader should be.


    "He''s fine. That Old Man ruptured nearly all his muscle fibers, cracked his ribs, and suffered many internal injuries, but he was still kicking alive."


    "With the medicines I gave, he can heal himself and recover in a few days."


    "That''s good, that''s good." Huan Caiyi mumbled the words twice, finding relief. To her, Yun Canghai is her capable right-hand man, and losing him means crippling herself and the Illusory Demon Realm.


    Yu Long chuckled, "Aren''t you curious about your own situation, Caiyi?"


    "Well, I do feel a bit uneasy..." Huan Caiyi replied. She felt her body lighter and warmer than before.


    "That''s because your Evergreen Immortal Physique and Impure Golden Crow''s bloodline achieved a near-perfect harmony, allowing the former to grow... And thetter to purify itself." Yu Long pointed at Huan Caiyi''s forehead.


    There is a me mark on Huan Caiyi''s forehead, looking like a mighty golden sun.


    Huan Caiyi''s eyes widened as she rubbed her forehead. As her finger traced the sun mark, she could also sense her bloodline warming up in delight.


    "Unfortunately, you can''t achieve the perfect harmony." Yu Long sighed at Huan Caiyi''s fate. "If you sleep for a few weeks longer, you might achieve it."


    "But then I can''t govern the Illusory Demon Realm." Haun Caiyi realized Yu Long''s dilemma. As the Demon Empress, she has responsibility over her subjects.


    Not to mention, Huan Caiyi just reimed her rightful position with the Demon Emperor''s Seal. She couldn''t possibly stay away from it for nearly a month.


    The state of Illusory Demon Realm is far from stable.


    Why can''t Yu Long take over Huan Caiyi''s position while she is hibernating?


    Shortly put, Yu Long was busy. And Huan Caiyi knew that.


    Let alone the Heavenly Demon Cult, Huan Caiyi already learned that Yu Long has more responsibility over many things than her empire.


    Given how messy the possibility of invasion is, Yu Long can''t busy himself with other stuff. He also has his own priorities and training to be stronger.


    Huan Caiyi gently stared at Yu Long, "It''s fine. I understand your decision."


    Huan Caiyi wasn''t your typical woman. She wasn''t unreasonable.


    "So, what will happen to me now?" Huan Caiyi asked, putting down her quilt.


    Yu Long smiled, "You will be fine. Although you can''t achieve perfect harmony, it will eventually happen but slower..."


    "It''s not entirely wed, considering you can still get an even more powerful and purer bloodline of the Golden Crow."


    "After this, you wanted to visit that ce, right?"


    Huan Caiyi got what Yu Long meant and nodded, "Ah, yes. I was nning to visit the Golden Crow Lightning me Valley. Well, after stabilizing the situation."


    "Give me a few hours." She stood up, but her knees buckled due to the sudden change in physique.


    She fell straight onto Yu Long''s chest, nting cherry lips on his lips.


    Yu Long couldn''t believe this. His eyelid lowered as he tasted Huan Caiyi''s sweetness.


    It was just a fraction of a second, but it felt like forever for them. The world stopped, leaving a rapidly beating heart and calm golden eyes.


    Huan Caiyi swiftly took herself from Yu Long''sp andnded on the floor with a blushed face. She hasn''t touched a man for over a hundred years now, and this is awakening the maiden in her heart.


    She stammered, "I-I... I''m sorry, that was a coincidence."


    "I willpensate you in some way."


    Yu Long chuckled, "And how would you like to repay me? With another kiss?"


    Hearing Yu Long''s yful remark, Huan Caiyi was grateful he wasn''t mad at her for coincidently pushing that boundary. Even though they were engaged, Huan Caiyi didn''t expect Yu Long to open his heart to her.


    Huan Caiyi thought she would need a lot of time, possibly years, to grasp what man Yu Long was.


    "Y-You''re not angry?"


    Yu Long shrugged, "I don''tck anything, Caiyi."


    "I have countless women on my side, so one more won''t make the difference."


    "Still, you gave me quite a surprise earlier..."


    "I see..." Huan Caiyi mumbled to herself.


    She steeled her resolve and said, "Give me a few hours, and we will visit the Golden Crow Lightning me Valley immediately."


    "Okay, just don''t push yourself too hard." Yu Long waved his hand as he watched Huan Caiyi vanish from the room.


    Her once bright red face shed in Yu Long''s mind.


    Yu Longughed a little, tracing his lips with a hint of delight. "Caiyi, Caiyi..."


    "What should I do with you?"

    Chapter 291: Golden Crow Lightning me Valley (1/2)


    I have added this fanfic to my P4treon Page. You can support me and read advanced chapters there. It motivate me to write more chapters for you guys!

    --- Chapter 288 ---


    After leaving her bedroom, Huan Caiyi washed her face and walked to the throne room. She called the patriarchs of Twelve Guardian Families and informed them about her next n on the Illusory Demon Realm.


    However, before Huan Caiyi could speak, Yun Qinghong worriedly asked for her wellbeing.


    "Empress, this subordinate might sound rude, but please tell us if you''re okay or not..."


    "Our heart isn''t calm enough."


    Even though the patriarchs of Twelve Guardian Families stayed in the Imperial Demon Hall, they defeated their enemies quickly and watched how intense Huan Caiyi''s fight was.


    They even saw her getting injured, which induced panic in their hearts.Huan Caiyi waved her hand, "This empress is fine. The fight is intense, but it''s not enough to make me neglect this empire."


    "I just regained my position... If I left, I would get too embarrassed."


    "You should worry about Yun Canghai more."


    "My father... How to say it, he''s still energetic even after all that beating he took." Yun Qinghong helplessly replied, recalling how mummified Yun Canghai drank wines leisurely after getting Yu Long''s medicine.


    If Yun Canghai knew Yun Qinghong was revealing his ''embarrassing'' side, he would scold his good-for-nothing son with some ass-beating.


    "..." The other patriarchs were left speechless.


    "..." Huan Caiyi. It seemed Yu Long wasn''t lying when he said Yun Canghai would be fine in a few days.


    Huan Caiyi coughed awkwardly and praised, "As expected from the man with the ''Demon King'' title from thete Demon Emperor, he is one of our Illusory Demon Realm''s greatest pirs."


    "Well, once Yun Canghai recovers, I will give him the Empire''s Grand Commandant position."


    "What do you think?"


    "We have no problem, Empress!" None of the patriarchs disagreed with Huan Caiyi. "Yun Canghai deserved such a position."


    They witnessed Yun Canghai fighting Duke Ming and the Heavenly King of Stone. And he won against them with overwhelming power.


    If they don''t support Yun Canghai, despite his efforts and sacrifices for the Illusory Demon Realm, then something must be wrong with their fucking eyes.


    Huan Caiyi nodded, "Good."


    "Now for our next n..."


    "Helian, Jiufeng, Yan, and Lin Family will focus on taking over Duke Huai Faction starting from their home bases and business."


    "Xiao, Nangong, Chiyang, and the Bai Family will focus on stabilizing the continent. Make sure the disappearance of the Duke Huai Faction and their evil deeds is known to everyone, even themoners."


    "As for Yun, Mu, Su, and the Elf n. Your family will focus on growing and gathering Golden Sunflowers''s seeds. You know the importance of this task, so I hope you aren''t negligent."


    The patriarchs knew the Golden Sunflowers were essential to form the Heavenly Wind Barrier. So, the eight patriarchs couldn''t help but give Elf, Mu, Su, and Yun Family''s patriarchs an envious look.


    Huan Caiyi clearly favored these four ns more, but they couldn''t do much about it.


    Yun Qinghong and three other patriarchs trembled upon hearing Huan Caiyi''s orders.


    They kneeled and shouted, "Leave it to us, Empress!"


    "Your wish is ourmand, Empress!" The rest of the patriarchs also followed.


    "Mm." Huan Caiyi nodded, waving her hand to keep them calm.


    "Where is Duke Ming and his force?"


    Yun Qinghong coughed and answered, "My father ordered us to ce Duke Ming in the Abyss Cold Prison, Empress. We are waiting for your order to execute them."


    "Push the date of execution to a monthter." Huan Caiyi replied calmly, but her eyes weren''t so calm. Coldness thrived in those eyes.


    A month isn''t short or long. However, a month is enough for Huan Caiyi to vent her anger on Duke Ming.


    After that, Huan Caiyi might keep Duke Ming and his follower''s souls in limbo forever. She has learned witchcraft, so creating an artifact capable of trapping and torturing souls should be in the realm of possibility.


    Their flesh shall die, and their soul will stay in eternal torture!


    "A month... We will prepare right away!" The patriarchs are eager to see the end of Duke Ming.


    Huan Caiyi rubbed her chin, "That''s it for now."


    "Report your progress once I return from the Golden Crow Lightning me Valley."


    The patriarchs'' eyes widened. "Empress, are you going to enter the Ancestral Ground?"


    <strong>Golden Crow Lightning me Valley</strong>is the Demon Imperial Family''s ancestral ground. It is also a holynd of cultivation for the Twelve Guardian Family.


    The elemental aura around Golden Crow Lightning me Valley is dense, and its surroundings contain the strength of pure fire elements and thunderclouds, which led to the constant growth of strong fire spirits, lightning spirits, and other fire and lightning-type demons.


    One can easily find rare materials and treasures there.


    And this holynd only opened once every five years!


    Unfortunately, the key to ess the Golden Crow Lightning me Valley, the Demon Emperor''s Seal, has been lost for over a hundred years.


    Yes, that''s twenty chances of entering the holynd, a ''huge'' loss for the Demon Imperial Family and Twelve Guardian Family.


    Knowing Duke Ming was behind all this mess, they couldn''t help but hate him even more. They wished to beat him down to a pulp, tear his body apart, and boil him in a pot before feeding him to profound beasts.


    At least the Demon Emperor''s Seal has returned, allowing them to enter the holynd again.


    <em>(A/N: I changed some details about the Golden Crow Lightning me Valley)</em>


    "Empress, are you going there alone?" Although they knew Huan Caiyi was strong, they were still worried for her safety.


    Huan Caiyi shook her head gently, "No. I''m going there with Yu Long."


    A collective sigh of relief escaped the patriarchs'' mouths. "With Consort Yu''s presence, we can''t worry less about the Empress''s safety."


    "Mm! I have never seen Consort Yu''s full strength, but seeing him beating Helian Kuang convinced me!"


    "Can you guys please stop mentioning that?" Helian Kuang pleaded. He still felt pain from Yu Long''s beating at Hidden City.


    "Haha, no!" The Greatest Ambition Under Heaven replied, making Helian Kuang look sour.


    "You damned Elf..." Helian Kuang mumbled.


    "Enough this farce. All dismissed!" Huan Caiyi smiled, allowing them to leave.


    Watching the patriarchs bow at her and leaving one by one, Huan Caiyi slumped on her throne. She clenched her hand and thought, ''I did it.''


    ''I did it, Demon Emperor, Little Demon Emperor!''


    ...


    ...


    Huan Caiyi calmed her emotions and wiped the tears from her eyes. Then, she saw Yu Long leaning on the wall, staring at her in amusement.


    She couldn''t help but feel flustered, "How long have you been standing there?"


    "I don''t know. From the start of your cry?" Yu Long teased her.


    Huan Caiyi covered her face in embarrassment, "P-Please forget that and erase it from your memory."


    "Hehe, no." Yu Long responded with a chuckle. "Seeing this side of you is quite... Amusing, Caiyi."


    "So, are you ready to go?"


    Huan Caiyi sighed helplessly. "I can''t¡­ with you."


    She regained her usual calmness and jumped from her high throne,nding beside Yu Long.


    "Let''s go." She gave him a pout.


    Yu Long suddenly grasped Huan Caiyi''s hand, "I don''t dislike that side of yours. I found it cute."


    "Y-You... Stop teasing me!"


    "Fine, fine."


    Then, Yu Long and Huan Caiyi exited the Demon Imperial City. They flew past many miles beforending on a vast valley surrounded by a white mist.


    "Interesting. The mist is actually just a guise?" Yu Longmented, trying to break the mist with his Divine Sense. He can break it, but something prevented him from inspecting further.


    Huan Caiyi took out the Demon Emperor''s Seal, and the white mist gradually parted in half, revealing a ravine and path leading to a sea ofva.


    "Theva spans over 1,500 kilometers square. And we call it the Sea of Death." Huan Caiyi introduced the area as they walked in like it was a date.


    "Is that so?" Yu Long''s interest was ''naturally'' piqued.


    "Tell me more then."


    "Of course, I will tell you." Huan Caiyi eagerly responded.


    ...

 Chapter 292: Golden Crow Lightning Flame Valley (2/2)

    Chapter 292: Golden Crow Lightning me Valley (2/2)


    I have added this fanfic to my P4treon Page. You can support me and read advanced chapters there. It motivate me to write more chapters for you guys!


    Link: /NineClouds69


    --- Chapter 289 ---


    Yu Long and Huan Caiyi walked beside each other, holding hands and enjoying the ''fiery hell'' scenery of the Golden Crow Lightning me Valley.


    "The Golden Crow Lightning me Valley has been existing as long as our family. No, it might exist before even that." Huan Caiyi exined.


    "Ancestral records stated that this fiery area was ''naturally'' created due to the Golden Crow''s Trial Grounds. Only once in a thousand years, one may enter the Trial Grounds, gaining the Golden Crow''s bloodline."


    Yu Long yed a fool character, "Is it okay for me to know this information?"


    Huan Caiyi smiled, "We are engaged. You will know this sooner orter."


    "Then, why do you think there is a huge concentration of lightning in this ce?" Yu Long asked casually, though he knew the answer already.Huan Caiyi pondered, "Some ancestors thought it has something to do with the area''s electromaic force. But it''s a baseless assumption as we never found its source."


    ''Well, you never found the source because the Golden Crow hid it.'' Yu Long thought casually.


    Since Yu Long inherited and modified the Evil God''s Power and his Seeds, he could sense the existence of other Seeds. With so much lightning here, he would be a fool if he couldn''t recognize it as Lightning Seed.


    Putting that aside, Yu Long has read the book. So, he knew the plot.


    However, the book might not describe this ce in such detail.


    Listening to Huan Caiyi''s exnation allowed Yu Long to understand this ce more.


    Roar!


    A creature made of sizzlingva crawled from the Sea of Death, stopping before Yu Long and Huan Caiyi''s path. The creature looks like ava golem and is over three meters tall, possessing a body consisting of hardened magma.


    It gazed at them with its hollow white eyes.


    Huan Caiyi pointed her finger at theva golem and said, "Lava Beast. An aggressive being made from the condensation of fire energy in the Sea of Death."


    "Once you kill Lava Beast, there is a small chance of getting Fire Crystal of various qualities, which works great for those who cultivated fire-attributed Profound Arts."


    "There are millions of Lava Beasts living here, so be careful. We don''t want to attract them and get annoyed before reaching the Golden Crow''s Trial Grounds."


    "This Lava Beast is only stage 3 of five stages. It has the strength of 1st Level Sky Profound Realm."


    "Do you want to try? But you can''t use Profound Arts or Skills." Huan Caiyi smiled, wanting to see Yu Long''s performance. "Physical Strength and Martial Arts. 1st stage of Spirit Profound Realm only."


    "What''s the reward? I don''t want to do things for free." Yu Long nced at Huan Caiyi, gazing deep into her eyes.


    "A kiss. I will peck you on the cheek once!" Huan Caiyi replied sternly.


    Yu Long chuckled, "Double it, and it''s a deal."


    "Deal!"


    Huan Caiyi watched Yu Long walking to the Lava Beast. His realm visibly dropped from something Huan Caiyi couldn''t sense to the 1st stage of Spirit Profound Realm only.


    ''Just how high is Yu Long''s cultivation base? Even my profound sense can''t tell until he suppressed it.'' Huan Caiyi tapped her chin, wondering about something.


    Before Huan Caiyi could digest her thoughts, she watched Yu Long kick the Lava Beast''s knee to make it kneel and p itsva-covered head off, killing it in a split second.


    "..." Huan Caiyi.


    She was speechless.


    "That simple?"


    "Yes, as simple as that." Yu Long replied with a shrug. "Where are my kisses?"


    Huan Caiyi harrumphed, tiptoeing and kissing his left and right cheek with a blush.


    "There. Happy now?"


    Yu Long nodded, "Mm."


    "Actually... You can defeat this kind of creature without much effort."


    "All you need to do is locate its core."


    ''What do you mean?" Huan Caiyi squatted, looking for fire crystal, and found a handful of useless ck rock. It seemed they were unlucky.


    Yu Long pointed at the ck rock, "Every living creature has a ''certain'' structure that kept them whole. We have bones, flesh, muscle tissues, and skins."


    "This Lava Beast is ''naturally'' made from earth and fire elements. Split them, and you broke that structure."


    "How exactly do you do that?" Huan Caiyi was still confused.


    Yu Long smiled faintly, "Kiss me on the lip again, and I will tell."


    Huan Caiyi dodged his gaze, sighing helplessly. "Fine, I will kiss you."


    "But close your eyes."


    "I''m waiting." Yu Long closed his eyes.


    Smooch!


    Huan Caiyi did the deeds and retreated, turning her back on Yu Long. She couldn''t stay calm from all this teasing.


    Yu Long opened his eyes, "That was short..."


    "I will take it, though."


    "Take that ck rock. I will exin as we walk."


    Huan Caiyi nodded and picked the ''useless'' ck rocks, wondering why Yu Long wanted these things.


    Yu Long pointed at the sky, "The universe is ''greatly'' created withws and concepts. And there are infinitews and concepts out there."


    "Understanding one would lead you to the other."


    "Caiyi, have you ever observed everything around in ''great'' detail?"


    "Like how many lines on the leaves or ring on a chopped wood?"


    Huan Caiyi shook his head, "No. Cultivating Profound Energy and learning how to tame Golden Crow''s Impure me is all that matters to me."


    "Try it. Use your profound sense to look into that ck rocks." Yu Long instructed calmly.


    Huan Caiyi frowned, focusing her attention on the ck rocks in her hand and discovering manyyers of carbonized particles.


    As she looked more into the ck rock, she found patterns.


    Yes, patterns!


    "There are patterns..."


    "That''s right. Those patterns are the foundations of all things. I called it Profound Patterns. By studying and modifying it, watching it react to outside elements. You can do this!"


    Yu Long grabbed a random ck rock and clenched it with his hand, introducing pressure into it.


    Intense heat appeared due to the increased pressure, causing Yu Long''s hand to smoke.


    After a few seconds, Yu Long opened his hand and revealed a small, sparkling diamond to Huan Caiyi.


    "This is..." Huan Caiyi covered her mouth in disbelief.


    "Modifying the Profound Patterns can do this?"


    "No, not just this. Profound Arts, bloodline, unique physique. Anything that is born and raised in the Primal Chaos Dimension, you can alter them as you will..." Yu Long dropped a bomb.


    "Even bringing a dead person to a living room isn''t out of the realm of possibility."


    Huan Caiyi''s eyes widened in disbelief, "B-But that is no different than being a God?"


    Yu Long smiled as he walked away, "Your understanding is still shallow. Learn more and grow stronger."


    Huan Caiyi watched Yu Long''s broad back in admiration and chased after him, "Can you teach me then?"


    "We have more than enough time to teach you the basics." Yu Long gave her a knowing look. "But how far you can learn depends on yourself."


    "I know!" Huan Caiyi was eager to learn.


    Yu Long kept walking and chuckled, "Good. I hope you can learn a basic level of Profound Aspect before we reach the Golden Crow''s Trial Grounds."


    ...


    ...


    After walking for an hour, Huan Caiyi learned the basic level of Profound Aspects.


    Of course, learning and using are two different things.


    Huan Caiyi could see profound patterns of Golden Crow''s Impure me, but only a portion of it.


    ording to Yu Long''s teaching, she could modify these patterns and make her Golden Crow''s Impure me hotter and more explosive.


    In fact, Huan Caiyi can even modify her me to surpass Golden Crow''s Divine me. But she''s far from reaching that stage.


    "We are here, Caiyi." Yu Long suddenly said, snapping Huan Caiyi back to reality.


    Huan Caiyi blinked and noticed they were standing on a volcanic rock spanning over a few hundred meters, surrounded byva.


    She pulled her Demon Emperor''s Seal and noticed it was glowing with golden light.


    "Are you the descendant of that brat with the surname Huan?" A majestic yet arrogant voice echoed in the area.


    Yu Long looked up, spotting two massive, reddish-gold eyes looking down on him and Huan Caiyi.


    Those eyes are the Divine Beast''s eyes.


    One of the Three Supreme Fire Attributed Beasts, the Sun Bird, Golden Crow!

 Chapter 293: Golden Crows Residual Soul, Questioning Reality

    Chapter 293: Golden Crow''s Residual Soul, Questioning Reality


    I have added this fanfic to my P4treon Page. You can support me and read advanced chapters there. It motivate me to write more chapters for you guys!


    Link: /NineClouds69


    --- Chapter 290 ---


    One of Three Supreme Fire-Attributed Beasts, the Sun Bird.


    Golden Crow.


    Watching the reddish-golden eyes in the sky, Yu Long couldn''t help but recall his experience with Phoenix (Yuyan) and Primordial Dragon God (Zilong).


    Many years have passed, and it feels nostalgic.


    Yu Long calmly gazed at the eyes and thought, Although the Golden Crow only had her residual soul left like Yuyan and Zilong, her living conditions were much better than theirs. I can feel her spirituality is much moreplete, too.''


    ''At the very least... I don''t feel any sense of weakness from this Golden Crow.''Huan Caiyi was stunned by the Golden Crow''s arrival. Even though she has ruled the Illusory Demon Realm for over a century, she has never entered the Golden Crow''s Trials.


    She only knew about its existence from the Demon Emperor''s notes and ancestral records.


    So, when the majestic and arrogant voice questioned Huan Caiyi, she instinctively stammered and answered, "Yes! Yes, I am!"


    "My name is Huan Caiyi, the current Matriarch of the Huan n."


    "Hmm... Your Huan n is still as pathetic as I remember." The reddish-golden eyes squinted. "After all these years, I thought some of you would reach the Divine Origin Realm with this queen''s gift."


    "But it seemed I was hoping too much."


    "A thousand years have passed, and the matriarch isn''t even at the peak of the Sovereign Profound Realm."


    "Rubbish!"


    Huan Caiyi clenched her hand hard upon hearing this ridicule. She wanted tosh back but had no answer because the Golden Crow was right.


    It was irrefutable. Huan Caiyi''s cultivation base is only at the 8th Stage of Sovereign Profound Realm. That''s a high cultivation base for a person of her stature but not enough in the Golden Crow''s eyes.


    "Do you think that cultivation base is everything?" A calm voice questioned the Golden Crow back. "As the primordial existence, you should know every fine detail of oneself could change the oue."


    "Your bloodline is strong. Very strong, but what Caiyi had in her veins was only an impure version."


    "So, in short... The cultivation base Huan Caiyi revealed and achieved from her hard-earned effort, with no attachment to your bloodline!"


    "Nonsense! How dare you question this queen?" The Golden Crow sounds angered. "Who are you, but a mortal with a limited lifespan!"


    Yu Long chuckled, "You shouldn''t be the one saying that when you''re just a mere Soul Residual. This ce might have restored your soul, but you''re not the real Golden Crow."


    "Like how the Phoenix and Primordial Dragon God in another continent."


    "How did you know about that damned bird and Azure Dragon?!" The Golden Crow questioned, causing the surroundingva to tremble.


    Yu Long shrugged, "I have no obligation to answer that. When you mock my cute fiancee, I can''t help but question your logic."


    The Golden Crow harrumphed, "I simply stated the truth. Also, thatss''s bloodline is as pure as her ancestor''s bloodline, which was a gift from mine."


    "As I said... That was her own effort. Caiyi possessed Immortal Physique that cleansed her bloodline." Yu Long sighed in helplessness at this bird''s stubborn nature.


    "Immortal Physique? How can that be?!" The Golden Crow couldn''t believe Yu Long''s words.


    Huan Caiyi adjusted her breath and looked up bravely. An extreme vitality burst from her body, shining the Golden Crow''s Trial Grounds with evergreen light.


    "Such vitality..."


    "This is the Evergreen Immortal Physique!"


    "Suchpatibility with the sunfire of mine! How is that even possible?"


    The Golden Crow was stunned, silly. She has witnessed and fought many people with Immortal Physique in the Primordial Era of Gods, but none has achieved such ''sessful'' integration as Huan Caiyi.


    Of course, the Golden Crow didn''t know Huan Caiyi''s integration came from consuming Evergreen Tree''s Dew and Elemental Spirit''s core. Her Immortal Physique isn''t only about vitality. It also has a trace of Cosmic Wind.


    Cosmic Wind and Primordial Fire of Golden Crow.


    They are highlypatible with each other.


    "Like I said, a cultivation base isn''t everything." Yu Long gave the Golden Crow''s eyes a mocking look. "Your mindset on things is narrow and uncreative."


    "No wonder the Primordial Era of Gods ended up like that."


    "Mortal brat, I admitted that my judgment was a bit wrong, but mocking this queen has heavy consequences. Experience the hellish heat of the sun!" The Golden Crow sent a fireball down to Yu Long.


    The fireball is pure golden, burning brightly like the sun itself.


    Yu Long indifferently let the fireball hit him.


    BAM!


    The Golden Crow''sughter echoed in the Trial Grounds before stopping in disbelief. "Haha, admit your mistake, and this queen will release you from tortu-! Huh??"


    Yu Long walked out of the fire unscathed. He yawned, "You''re unbearably naive. You think a mere clump of profound energy and heat will make me afraid?"


    "You didn''t even use your true Golden Crow''s Divine me."


    The Golden Crow''s reddish-golden eyes squinted even more. ''This mortal brat. What''s wrong with him? Why can''t I sense anything special from him?''


    ''Yet this uneasiness...''


    ''Why I felt like I was small prey before an absolute predator...''


    After the Golden Crow became quiet, Yu Long''s lips curled into a smile.


    Yu Long chuckled inwardly, ''There are many things you didn''t know outside the Primal Chaos Dimension, Golden Crow.''


    ''The Primordial Chaos Dimension is big. It''s so big that I''m afraid I''d get tired of it if I tried to explore it. However, there are also infinite universes with unique origins andws outside.''


    A few minutester, the Golden Crow''s voice echoed again.


    "Lass, you''reing here to get Golden Crow''s Legacy, right?"


    Huan Caiyi nodded, "That''s right."


    "Then, you shall experience my trials. If you seed, you may be True Inheritor, gaining ten drops of Golden Crow''s True Blood and the Record of Burning World!" The Golden Crow continued.


    "Do you dare to experience hell,ss?"


    Huan Caiyi nced at Yu Long and saw him smiling at her. She felt confident seeing that radiant smile and replied, "Yes!"


    "Good." With that, the Golden Crow made Huan Caiyi enter the Trial Grounds and left Yu Long alone with her.


    "Now that the distraction is gone..."


    "Tell me who you are, Mortal! You couldn''t possibly be an ordinary brat from nowhere!"


    Yu Longughed, "Haha, such a trickery. The Golden Crow is petty, after all."


    "Hmph..." The Golden Crow snorted. "This queen didn''t want her good inheritor to get caught in a fight. Also, she might not want to be my inheritor if I injure you by ident."


    "Tell me who you are, or receive my full force of the sun!" A roaring sound appeared, revealing nine golden suns in the sky.


    Before them, Yu Long felt intense heat that put the Phoenix''s me to shame in the destructive department.


    Yu Long''s golden eyes glimmered with fascination. He got enamored with new wonders in this world fast, a quirk he developed after researching Profound Patterns, Aspects, and Manifestations for too long.


    He didn''t see the nine golden suns but the profundity behind them. In his vision, they had turned into countless kaleidoscope patterns.


    "Well..." Yu Long smiled at the Golden Crow''s eyes.


    "Who am I?"


    "I''m the King of Monsters!"


    BOOM!


    A dreadful aura exploded from Yu Long''s body, changing theva-filled world into a battlefield of carnage. The image of a thousand ws, jaws with razor-sharp teeth, colorful scales, hides, and many different wings appeared behind Yu Long.


    Atst, countless "Golden Eyes" with dark-red pupils of various sizes appeared, covering the ground, air, and starry skies.


    "!!!" The Golden Crow sucked a cold breath. What kind of frightening creature is this?


    Not even Devil Races is this scary?


    Although the Golden Crow is many times bigger than Yu Long''s stature, she feels small and weak, like an ant before a bright star.

    --- Chapter 291 ---


    Carnage seeped through the Golden Crow''s Trial Grounds.


    The Golden Crow''s Residual Spirit trembled. Her reddish-gold eyes quivered in the sky as countless monstrous ''Golden Eyes'' in the area locked their gazes on her.


    She felt ufortable for existing alone!


    Not even the Four Creation Gods and Four Devil Emperors could make her feel like this.


    Words can''t even exin the pressure she felt right now.


    "Haha, look how scared you are." Yu Longughed carefreely, suppressing all the aura he released. Sure enough, the phenomenon disappeared with the arrival of hisughter."W-What are you...?" The Golden Crow sounded more polite and fearful now.


    Yu Long shook his head gently. "I already answered that question. My name is Yu Long."


    "Nice to meet you, Oh Noble Golden Crow... I''m sure you don''t like to bully the weak and fear the strong."


    "..."


    The Golden Crow broke into cold sweats. Who is joking here?


    You''re literallying to my Trial Grounds and acting like a mortal before bullying me.


    No, is this young man a mortal in the first ce?


    He looks human, but nothing about him is human!


    "What do you want from me?" The Golden Crow asked with a helpless sigh.


    Yu Long smiled, "Well, you, actually."


    "!!!" The Golden Crow panicked.


    "I''m intrigued about the Golden Crow''s Legacy, including yourself. So I will give you an offer you can''t refuse..." He added mysteriously.


    "Like?"


    "A new life and body."


    "!!!" The Golden Crow was shocked again.


    Something like revival is possible in this world, but she is only the residual soul of the Golden Crow. She''s not even the Golden Crow who boasted her might in the Primordial Era of Gods.


    "You..."


    "You''re not tricking me, right?" She couldn''t afford to fall into a trap.


    "Do you think I will bother myself using trickery with the power I showed you earlier?" Yu Long snorted at her.


    "That''s true..." The Golden Crow believed there was nothing mere about this monster. "But how?"


    "I don''t think you have the Primordial Seal of Life & Death."


    "While I can sense Primordial Dragon and Phoenix Blood in you, I doubt they give you the ability to revive someone from death, especially me, who was only a residual soul."


    "Could it be that you are from that ce?"


    Yu Long raised his eyebrow before answering, "If you''re talking about the other side of Primal Chaos Dimension''s Wall, you''re gravely mistaken."


    "That other side is still part of this universe."


    "I''m actually a soul from outside the Primal Chaos Dimension who got reincarnated into this world."


    "Impossible-!" The Golden Crow wanted to refute Yu Long''s heinous im immediately but stopped midway because those ''bizarre'' and ''scary'' powers shouldn''t be from this world.


    After calming herself, the Golden Crow mumbled, "An outsider... To think something like this could happen."


    Yu Long chuckled, "It seemed you don''t know the state outside the Golden Crow Lightning me Valley."


    "I''m afraid the world is no longer the ce you once knew."


    "The Primordial Era of Gods has ended, but a more troublesome era began sixteen years ago..."


    "A new era..." The Golden Crow''s voice bes heavier.


    "Yes, the Era of Invasion." Yu Long gave her a ''solemn'' look.


    "Several external forces have already put their eyes on the Primal Chaos Dimension. Those in the Realm of Gods can somehow protect themselves, but those in lower realms are ''eventually'' destined to perish if we don''t stop this invasion."


    "I thought you''re an outsider, too?" The Golden Crow was puzzled.


    Yu Long shrugged, "If I have to choose between a whole world for myself or sharing it with others, I''d rather pick the former."


    "After all, I experienced a rebirth and grew attached to this world. I can''t afford to let some annoying people inconvenience me left and right."


    "Not to mention, these invaders are my old enemies. They are like undying cockroaches that are hard to kill."


    "I see..." The Golden Crow couldn''t help but nod in agreement.


    "So, about my revival."


    "We can do it anytime." Yu Long replied casually. "I will do it using my power, allowing you to be a new lifeform with Golden Crow''s Essence."


    "Don''t worry, everything will be fine. I''ve revived the Phoenix and the Primordial Dragon. They even be my subordinate and friend."


    "Hmph, if that wimpy Phoenix can undergo this rebirth, then this queen can do it, too!" The Golden Crow rumbled when she heard Yu Long had revived Phoenix''s Spirit in the Profound Sky Continent.


    "Let''s do this!"


    Wooosh!


    A burst of golden me reced the Golden Crow''s eyes.


    Then, a woman appeared. She has a tall, hourss body wrapped in that reddish-golden gown. Her long white hair cascaded to her back with two fringes swaying on each side of her fair face.


    If we are talking about beauty, she''s top-notch. Her face is noble and attractive, especially with that sharp nose, red lips, and reddish-gold eyes.


    "You revealed your humanoid form faster than I thought." Yu Longmented.


    The Golden Crow pursed her lips and replied, "Like I have a choice before your monstrous presence. I have neither power nor will to resist that power of yours."


    "Are you trying to make a good impression now?"


    "What, I can''t?"


    "Hah, you''re more thick-skinned than I thought."


    "..."


    The Golden Crow bitterly sighed inside. If it were any other people, she would decimate them with her Golden me and reduce them to ashes, but she can''t with Yu Long.


    So, she could only endure.


    "Jin Wuya." She said calmly. "That''s my name."


    "I don''t want to be referred to as the Golden Crow forever, especially not by you..."


    Yu Long nodded in understanding, "Very well, Jin Wuya. I will call you by that name from now on."


    "What about the Phoenix? How do you refer to her?" Jin Wuya asked.


    "Well, I gave her a new name." Yu Long replied with a faint smile.


    Jin Wuya was speechless, "That''s no good then! You must give me a new name, too!"


    "I want a new name for my new life!"


    "Okay, let me think while I turn you into my Kaiju." Yu Long gave Jin Wuya an amused look. He didn''t expect her to be thispetitive whenever Phoenix mentioned.


    No wonder Yuyan, the Emerald Phoenix, never mentioned anything about the Golden Crow.


    "Wait, wait, it''s not going to be painful, right?" Jin Wuya made sure that Yu Long won''t hurt her. She hasn''tpletely trusted him.


    Yu Long rolled his eyes, "You''re the Golden Crow. Don''t tell me you can''t handle some pain?"


    "Who said I can''t handle some pain? This queen has experienced the horrors of Devil Races in the Primordial War!" Jin Wuya answered immediately, not wanting to look weak.


    "Yeah, sure." Yu Long replied tly.


    "Before I start... Do you have any qualities or power you want to wield?"


    "With Kaiju Maker, I can modify your origin, which means I can attach additional elemental attributes to you."


    "You can do that?" The Golden Crow''s eyes widened in disbelief.


    Isn''t Yu Long''s power no different than the Ancestral God?


    Unknown to the Golden Crow, the Ancestral God has be Yu Long''s Kaiju and Personal Maid.


    The Golden Crow thought about it before saying, "If possible, I want you to add Star and Space Attribute to me."


    "Star and Space? Got it." Yu Long nodded, seizing Jin Wuya''s fair hand.


    "Let''s start!"


    "Mm!" Jin Wuya calmed her breath and nodded, looking very eager for a life-changing impact.

    Chapter 295: Kaiju No.20, Yujin


    I have added this fanfic to my P4treon Page. You can support me and read advanced chapters there. It motivate me to write more chapters for you guys!

    --- Chapter 292 ---


    Yu Long''s hand burst with overwhelming power as he struck Jin Wuya''s chest. Thetter''s eyes widened because he didn''t actually aim at her body but her Residual Soul!


    Jin Wuya didn''t feel pain. It was just a brief shock before overwhelming power changed something in her origin, twisting and altering her core quality and the sequence of her Profundity.


    No matter how Jin Wuya saw it, Yu Long possessed the power above the Creation Gods and Devil Emperors. He''s like the mythical Ancestral God herself!


    However, Jin Wuya''s shock is far from over.


    "How many drops of Golden Crow''s blood you had left?" asked Yu Long calmly.


    Jin Wuya was stunned by this question but answered anyway, "Uh, I still have around 129 drops. However, half of them used to maintain my Residual Soul and Golden Crow''s Trial Grounds.""This secret realm won''tst without my blood cycling the energy of heaven and earth."


    "Hmm... So, that''s how you maintained this Golden Crow Lightning me valley. But you didn''t only use your blood, right? I believe thete Evil God also entrusted his Lightning Seed to you, which you simrly used to maintain this ce." Yu Long calmlymented.


    "..."


    "W-Well, you''re right. I also used Evil God''s Lightning Seed to keep this ce running. After all, the Lightning Seed possessed an untamed and boundless power of Evil God." Jin Wuya coughed and hurriedly looked away, dodging Yu Long''s suspicious gaze.


    ''Only ghosts and third-rate protagonists would believe your words!'' Yu Long couldn''t help but snort inwardly.


    Yu Long shook his head helplessly. It seemed the Golden Crow didn''t stay idle all this time and thought of reviving herself, though the method is different and has a low chance of sess.


    But this Golden Crow was too inexperienced if she thought she could break the limitation of the Residual Soul by utilizing the Evil God''s Lightning Seed.


    Simply put, the Golden Crow is ambitiously naive.


    "Whatever, put 40 drops of Golden Crow''s blood as Caiyi''s reward. With her current physique, she should be able to handle it. Give me 40 drops for my research, and I will make your new body with thest portion as the base." Yu Long ordered, which made Jin Wuya sigh in helplessness.


    "That left me with 49 drops... Okay, then." Jin Wuya could only agree with Yu Long. It''s not like she could fight him or anything.


    After that, 40 drops of Golden Crow''s blood appeared before Yu Long''s eyes and radiated with a golden shine.


    Yu Long looked at the blood droplets and nodded in admiration because they possessedplex, Profound Patterns, Aspects, and even strong vitality akin to the sun.


    "The Supreme Yang Attribute, even more than Phoenix and Vermillion Bird. No wonder Golden Crow''s destructiveness is stronger than two other Supreme Fire Attribute Beasts."


    Jin Wuya lifted her chin, and Yu Long swore to gods her nose got a little longer, "Of course! This queen is the strongest Supreme Fire Attribute Beast!"


    The Three Supreme Fire Attribute Beasts are the Vermillion Bird, Phoenix,and Golden Crow.


    Each beast has a strong distaste towards the other as they all think their me is superior. While the im is urate to a certain extent, their mes possessed advantages and disadvantages.


    The Golden Crow''s me is the most destructive but doesn''t possess enough endurance.


    The Phoenix''s me has strong purification power but also prunes to corruption.


    The Vermillion Bird''s me has soul protection power but has the lowest temperature of the three.


    "It''s not bad, I guess." Yu Long said at the proud face of Jin Wuya.


    "What do you mean my Golden Crow''s Divine me is not bad? It is the strongest Primordial me in this world!" Jin Wuya huffed heavily,ining at him.


    "..." Yu Long. This shameless bird is hopeless.


    "If your me is that strong, howe you''re dead before the God-Killing Poison? Why can''t you- I don''t know, burn it to nothingness."


    Cough! Cough!


    "This queen knew her limit. Even though my me is the strongest, the mix of Sky Poison Pearl and Evil Infant''s Wheel of Myriad Tribtions are beyond my scope." Jin Wuya shamelessly and humbly replied.


    Yu Long ignored Jin Wuya''s shamelessness and stored his portion of Golden Crow''s blood in Force Bubble before storing it inside the Sky Poison Pearl.


    Jin Wuya caught Yu Long using Sky Poison Pearl but wasn''t too shocked because she thought someone like him was bound to get one or two Heavenly Profound Treasures.


    Unbeknownst to Jin Wuya, Yu Long also has the Mirror of Samsara and the Evil Infant''s Wheel of Myriad Tribtion, which was the trigger that ended the Primordial Era of Gods.


    "Are you done with Caiyi?"


    "Mm, I have set that she''d get 40 drops of Golden Crow''s blood uponpleting the Third Test."


    "Okay, I want you to detonate the remaining blood in your possession and mimic Big-Bang Explosion! Then, leave the rest to me!"


    Seeing Yu Long''s confident look, Jin Wuya nodded and detonated the 49 drops of blood she had left. Her humanoid form immediately shone and split into nine mighty golden suns.


    Yu Long stared at the nine golden suns and mumbled, "Primordial Force is indeed something one shouldn''t underestimate..."


    "But this is not enough."


    "Jin Wuya, if you want to evolve, you must be hotter! Burn past your limit and be more than the sun itself!"


    "And I will help you with that."


    Yu Long waved his hand, and a strand of Kaiju Maker''s energy burst toward the nine suns, enveloping them like a.


    This also forced the nine suns to burn hotter.


    The Sea of Death stirred, and the rocky ind in the Golden Crow''s Trial Grounds started melting one after another.


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    CAAAAAAAAAAWWW!!


    Golden Crow''s cry echoed from the, wanting to break free from her restraint.


    The Golden Crow''s Lightning me Valley shook violently.


    Thunderclouds covered the sky, raining the earth with countless thunder strikes.


    Yu Long smiled faintly and infused Kaiju Maker''s Vitality and the Essence Sphere with Jin Wuya''s favored attributes into the, allowing her to evolve.


    "Hmm, this Essence Sphere..." Before Yu Long could throw another one, he noticed a particr Essence Sphere in his hand. It was silver with bluish specks like a starry sky.


    "If I''m not wrong, this one is from the Fulcrum Race. I didn''t expect that I would still have this. No, I probably got this from fishing in the Demonic Star Secret Realm."


    After thinking about it, Yu Long added this Essence Sphere to Jin Wuya''s new body and merged it with her source.


    Soon, the nine golden suns were ''calmly'' surrounded by a stream of silver air, and several stars appeared. Like celestial bodies, they revolved around the nine golden suns.


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    The temperature inside the bes hotter than the Trial Grounds could handle, and the very fabric of space-time is burning from its extreme heat.


    Kacha! Kacha!


    The space cracked like spiderwebs.


    Yu Long snapped his finger and mended the space back. He couldn''t afford to let the Golden Crow destroy this ce. After all, Huan Caiyi is doing her Trials somewhere else in this secret realm.


    KABOOM!


    Suddenly, the Yu Long ced melted and released the new primordial force. A golden figure with silver particles materialized from the merged nine golden suns, revealing a subus of a woman!


    Yu Long blinked and saw the golden blur kneeling before him.


    He looked down, seeing a long silver hair and a heart-stirring face that could capture nearly all men. On top of that, he also saw a pair of silver-golden eyes burning with desire.


    "Lord..." A pleasant voice brushed Yu Long''s ears.


    "Please grant me a new name."


    Yu Long smiled, "I didn''t expect it to be this fast. I don''t even have time to think."


    "But let''s see..."


    "Your name shall be Yu Jin or Yujin!"


    "Yujin..." The Golden Crow, who has experienced a rebirth, dropped her eyes in joy.


    "Thank you, Lord."


    "From now on, I will be Yujin."


    "Your utmost loyal servant... And <em>woman</em>."

    --- Chapter 293 ---


    Yu Long stared at the beauty before him with great interest.


    She''s obviously Jin Wuya.


    However, her appearance has taken an exceptional turn, bing more beautiful and seductive!


    Her long reddish-golden dress has turned into a silver-gold cocktail dress with a spaghetti strap, revealing her fair shoulders and long white legs.


    He also found an additional ethereal charm around this new Kaiju. Those silver-golden eyes made her look more ster, like gleaming stars in the night sky.


    "Lord..." She uttered."Please grant me a new name."


    Yu Long was amazed by how pleasant Jin Wuya''s new voice sounded and was surprised by how she addressed him.


    So, he couldn''t help but smile. "I didn''t expect you to ept the situation this fast. Haha, I don''t even have time to think."


    "But let''s see..."


    As Yu Long pondered, the ''reincarnated'' Golden Crow felt anxious, her heart racing rapidly.


    When the Golden Crow turned into Kaiju, she witnessed many events as if they were recorded memories and realized how broken Yu Long was.


    Even beforeing to the Primal Chaos Dimension, Yu Long, also known as the Kaiju Maker, ughtered many Alien Races that could destroy a universe.


    His personal strength already put him on the highest pedestal, and Kaiju Maker turned it to the extreme. As long as there are essences in the universe, he can keep growing stronger without limit.


    Not to mention, after reincarnating to the Primal Chaos Dimension, Yu Long''s potential seemed to bloom beautifully.


    Heprehended Profundity on an ''entirely'' different level, leaving natives to bite the dust. No, they couldn''t breathe in those dusts!


    So, it would be so dumb of the Golden Crow not to align herself with Yu Long. He''s simply a God among Gods. A Godking, if she had to say.


    Pride? Gosh, please.


    Only a person like Yu Long could make the Golden Crow swallow her pride and admire him instead.


    In fact, the Golden Crow has a ''wild'' ambition burning in her chest. But she believes it wouldn''t be easy because she also caught a glimpse of many beauties in the Kaiju Maker''s recollection, including that Hateful Phoenix!


    Damn you, Phoenix! You might walk off the start line, but who knows who will win this race!


    Unbeknownst to the Golden Crow, her rival is more than Yuyan.


    Then, Yu Long finished his thoughts.


    "Your new name shall be Yu Jin or Yujin!"


    The Golden Crow lowered her eyes in satisfaction. Yu Long actually gave her his family surname. Doesn''t this mean they are a couple now?


    "Yujin..."


    "Thank you, Lord!"


    "From now on, I will be Yujin!"


    <em>"I will strive to be your utmost loyal servant... And woman!"</em>


    ''Hold up, thatst word... Whatever.'' Yu Long shook his head helplessly because he didn''t care if a random chick got enamored by his quality at this point.


    He only opened his heart to those who were close to him. Giving Yujin a chance isn''t a bad thing.


    Yes, Yu Long is more epting after meeting and bonding with many cute girls and attractive women. He has be so numb to the Concept of Harem.


    He waved his hand, "Get up."


    ....


    <strong>Kaiju No. 20</strong>


    Species: <em>Ster Fulcrum Serenity Crow</em>


    Grade: SSS+


    Abilities: Deka-Sr Body (True), Ster Transformation, Fulcrum Domain, Queen of Sunfire, Lady of Stars, Maiden of Space, Golden Crow''s Origin (Enhanced), Golden Crow''s Serenity me, Radiant Envoy, Primordial Star Core (False), Glory of Tenth Astral Skies


    Given name: Yujin


    ...


    "So, how was your body? Do you feel any difort?" asked Yu Long.


    Yujin smiled, "Everything is perfect, My Lord."


    "Ah, I missed how good it was to breathe air."


    "Being a Residual Soul is such a bad experience..."


    Yu Long chuckled, "If you canin like that, then the body must be good."


    "How about your strength?"


    As Yu Long grew, the Kaiju he created also grew.


    Yujin, being the 20th, is actually a new benchmark for Kaiju Maker.


    Yujin assessed her strength before answering, "If we are talking about cultivation, then I don''t amount much..."


    "But if we are talking about pure strength and ability, I don''t think the Divine Tribtion Realm can survive against my attack."


    "As for the Divine Soul Realm, they might trouble me."


    "Would you lose, though?" Yu Long raised his eyebrow.


    Yujin smugly smiled, "Nah, I''d Win."


    After that, Yu Long asked Yujin a wide range of questions about her new abilities. But everything looked fine, and she could use all her newfound powers easily.


    Of course, using and mastering are two different things.


    Being a Kaiju is a new experience for Yujin, and all these new abilities are overwhelmingly strong, some even putting her Golden Crow''s Divine me in shame.


    Ster Transformation alone could make those so-called Twelve Star Gods cry. This ability allowed Yujin''s cells to be active like stars and strengthen her automatically.


    Even though the rate of her cells activating is slow, Yujin is still growing strong by simply existing!


    "Not bad, but it can be better." Yu Long nodded his head in satisfaction.


    "Now give me your new blood and the Golden Crow''s Record of Burning World."


    "Right away, My Lord!" Yujin was excited. She knew Yu Long would make a tailor-made Profound Art for her.


    She brought her finger to her mouth and bit it, "Here, My Lord!"


    Yu Long took the drop of blood and received information about the iplete Golden Crow''s Record of Burning World, but it was not enough.


    Although the Record of Burning World is iplete, like the World Ode of Phoenix, what matters is its core fundamentals.


    Yu Long analyzed the Record of Burning Blood and modified it so Yujin could cultivate it with her body. He even redefined its energy cirction so the Profound Art wouldn''t be all about Pure Explosiveness.


    Yujin wasn''t surprised by Yu Long''s bizarreness anymore. However, her mouth is still twitching because the Golden Crow''s Record of Burning World, which she created and developed for years, is easily modified.


    It''s like working on a project, and someone takes a nce at it and makes a better one in a sh.


    After finishing the technique, Yu Long pressed his finger to Yujin''s be and said, "I have modified the Profound Art. It''s called the Burning Record of Ster Crow now."


    Yujin received the Burning Record of Ster Crow and was shocked by its content. The core of the technique remained unchanged, but Yu Long''s insight into manipting stars and space enhanced the subsequent moves, making them even more powerful than the original one.


    No, Yujin felt the Record of Burning World was a cheap copy of this Profound Art instead.


    "..."


    ''Aih, the gap between me and My Lord is too big.'' She sighed bitterly.


    Yu Long was confused by Yujin''s demeanor and said, "You can start cultivating your new Profound Art. Even though you are a Kaiju now, you don''t have limitless energy, so raising your cultivation is a must."


    "Understood," Yujin replied with a nod. "I will start cultivating the Burning Record of Ster Crow now!"


    Yu Long nced in another direction and asked, "Before that, how is Caiyi''s condition?"


    "She shouldn''t have a problem with your Trials, no?"


    "She''s stuck on the Third Trial, Burning Emotion, and Ash Sorrow," Yujin said, sensing Huan Caiyi''s struggle. "It seems she has some trauma."


    "Or should I say regret..."


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Golden Crow''s Trial World, Illusion World.


    Huan Caiyi hugged her knees and mumbled, "Demon Emperor, Little Demon Emperor..."


    Two shadowy figures stood before her, releasing a dark and corrupting presence.


    "I''m sorry. I can''t help you at all."


    "But I don''t want to die for you..."


    "My life... I will only entrust it to one man only!"


    "AND THAT MAN IS MY BELOVED... YU LONG!"

    Chapter 297: Huan Caiyi''s Breakthrough


    I have added this fanfic to my P4treon Page. You can support me and read advanced chapters there. It motivate me to write more chapters for you guys!


    Link: /NineClouds69


    --- Chapter 294 ---


    Huan Caiyi experienced a soul-eating illusion, facing the deceased Demon Emperor and Little Demon Emperor. Although Huan Caiyi has expected the Golden Crow''s Trials to be difficult, isn''t this too much?


    She sighed helplessly, thinking how much she had suffered because of the death of the Demon Emperor and Little Demon Emperor. The former died because of Duke Ming''s scheme, and thetter disappeared on the eve of their wedding night.


    As a woman, how could Huan Caiyi not be devastated?


    But she persisted.


    She adapts to the silence.


    She ovees everything on her path with her tenacity and strength!Huan Caiyi is not a weak-willed woman. She won''t be the Empress of the Illusory Demon Realm if she''s soft.


    So, facing the deceased ones, Huan Caiyi showed her strong front.


    "Demon Emperor, Little Demon Emperor..."


    "I''m sorry. I can''t help you at all."


    "But I don''t want to die for you..."


    "My life... I will only entrust it to only one man!"


    "AND THAT MAN IS MY BELOVED... YU LONG!"


    After saying that, the surrounding space warped and turned into a familiar bedroom. Huan Caiyi stood up and saw Yu Long sitting on the mahogany wood chair, staring at her in amusement.


    "Caiyi, Caiyi, what should I do with you?" Yu Long said, making Huan Caiyi smile a little.


    Huan Caiyi opened her arms, "Anything."


    "Anything?" Yu Long tilted his head.


    "Mm, anything! I''m yours!" Huan Caiyi dered, causing the space to burst again.


    Golden me zed through the air, tearing the illusion apart and burning Huan Caiyi.


    Huan Caiyi wanted to roar her pain but decided to grit her white teeth and endure this ufortable experience.


    While Huan Caiyi''s Golden Crow bloodline is ''naturally'' enhanced by the Evergreen Immortal Physique''s vitality, its purity still palespared to the authentic tyrannical Golden Crow''s True Blood!


    It''s likeparing a bonfire and the literal sun!


    Huan Caiyi felt the Golden me erode her body. She resisted the heat and saw her wless skin be as dark as coal, turning into dust gradually.


    Then, her blood boiled, followed by cracking bones and rpsed internal organs.


    However, this is nothing.


    Huan Caiyi could feel her soul and spirit burning from the Golden me, which was ten times more painful than physical injury.


    No, even the word ''pain'' is an understatement to her condition.


    After a while, the only thing Huan Caiyi had left was a flicker of white light.


    Huan Caiyi is ''suddenly'' surrounded by darkness, and that white light is like sunlight prating the darkness. Yes, a lead for her to escape this situation.


    Although Huan Caiyi has no arm or hand, she imagines her stretched hand grasping for the white light. Closer, closer, and closer!


    With each breath Huan Caiyi took.


    And each step that Huan Caiyi walks.


    The ufortable, fiery sensation from the Golden me was ''slowly'' reced with extreme coolness.


    Huan Caiyi sighed, watching a faint silhouette of a broad back.


    "Even here..."


    "You''re still helping me."


    "This time... I won''t get left behind." A warm smile appeared on Huan Caiyi''s face as she quickened her pace. Her slow steps became hastier, allowing her to close the distance with the figure in the white light.


    On the outside of the trial, Yu Long and Yujin watched Huan Caiyi slowly merge with the Golden Crow''s blood. Since Yujin gave her 60 drops of Golden Crow''s blood, it took a while for Huan Caiyi to absorb them.


    Looking at the flickering golden me, Yu Long couldn''t help but smile andment, "Truly born from ashes."


    "I didn''t expect Golden Crow''s Divine me to have such an effect."


    Yujin pouted unhappily, "Gosh, please. Do notpare my me with that Nirvana me."


    "Although my Sun me''s revival ability is weak, it is still a Divine me at the end of the day and carries the holiness of the sun. While the Sun''s me is naturally destructive, don''t forget almost every living being needs sunlight to grow."


    "Especially nts!"


    "Since Caiyi had the Evergreen Immortal Physique, which came from consuming the sap of the Evergreen Tree. Yes, a nt. It naturally triggered the revival of the Sun''s me."


    "Don''t forget, Caiyi also absorbed 60 drops of my blood, so this development is natural."


    "Give or take, she''d enter the Divine Origin Realm after this."


    "Not bad, not bad at all!" Yujinughed at the sky, feeling her inheritor is much better than that shitty phoenix.


    "..." Yu Long.


    Weren''t you the one who looked down at Caiyi a moment ago?


    If Yu Long had not demonstrated some powers, Yujin might still be arrogant. That''s just how thick-skinned she is.


    Yujin felt Yu Long''s questioning gaze and coughed awkwardly, "W-Well, Caiyi''s potential as an inheritor is much better than those in the upper realm."


    "If only I could give her my artifact."


    "Of course, the one Lord gave her is also not bad."


    "Demonic Saber that allowed her to enter a three-stage berserk state. It''s impressive because I only know Evil God, who has an eight-stage state, but even he didn''tst long."


    "Why did I feel yourst sentence meant something else?" Yu Long was speechless.


    Juyin swayed her head away, dodging Yu Long''s gaze. "I don''t know what you''re talking about, My Lord."


    "I''m justparing Evil God''s Berserk State and your Demonic Weapon''s power."


    Yu Long shook his head gently. "Fine..."


    "You''re right. While Evil God''s Legacy is good, his berserk state is somewhatcking. That''s why I don''t fully inherit his power."


    "In fact, I think his Elemental Immunity is much better than berserk."


    "I have obtained Fire and Water Seeds, and with this Lightning Seed, I can start experimenting with more lightning-attributed Profound Arts."


    Yujin''s eyes lit up, "Then, this lowly follower, give the seed as soon as possible!"


    Yu Long waved his hand, "Calm down. Wait until Caiyi is out of the trials."


    He wasn''t hurrying to get the Evil God''s Lightning Seed.


    He has Fire Seed for Barbeque.


    Water Seed for making sparkling water.


    It made Yu Long wonder what he should do with the Lightning Seed.


    ...


    ...


    Yu Long and Yujin waited for three more hours until the Golden Crow''s me subsided. They saw Huan Caiyi''s naked figure in the me with her eyes closed and her body trembling slightly.


    Surprisingly, the rich fire energy was ''quickly'' condensed by wind power and turned into a gorgeous green-red dress.


    "Damn, peak Divine Origin Realm?!" Yujin shouted in awe. "This inheritor of mine is also a monster."


    "Wait, what was that!" Yujin pointed her finger at the Elemental Wind Spirit hovering around Huan Caiyi. "Is that also a Kaiju?"


    Yu Long smiled, "No. That''s the Elemental Spirit from another world."


    "I think Primal Chaos Dimension also has Elemental Spirit, though not the same nature."


    "This little fellow could grow alongside its contractor."


    "Hoho." Yujin stared at the adorable wind spirit in awe. She wondered if she could create the same creature with her newfound power.


    She believed she could do it.


    If she tried hard enough, that is.


    Huan Caiyi''s eyelids fluttered slightly. She opened her eyes and revealed a pair of golden eyes with red pupils, resembling the Golden Crow.


    She looked at both hands and clenched her hard, feeling immense power overflowing her body. She sensed she was ten times stronger than before, or even more.


    Her affinity with Fire Element also increased to the limit.


    "Congrattions." Yu Long arrived before Huan Caiyi.


    "Yu Long!" Huan Caiyi blinked and threw herself into Yu Long, hugging him tightly.


    "Hmm, what''s the matter?" Yu Long raised his brow.


    Huan Caiyi nestled her head against his broad chest and replied softly, "Thank you..."


    "Thank you for everything."


    Yu Long chuckled and held Huan Caiyi''s slim waist while patting her back, "Silly woman..."

    --- Chapter 295 ---


    After finishing her trial, Huan Caiyi left Yu Long''s embrace and examined her condition.


    "Is this how the Profound God Realm feels," She uttered while clenching and unclenching her warm hand, feeling the newfound power flow in her veins.


    "The more proper name for this stage is Divine Origin Realm." Yu Long tactfully said. "The First Stage of Seven Divine Profound Realms."


    "You''re currently at the peak of it."


    "After you stabilize your condition, you can start to break through to the Divine Soul Realm."


    "Oh?" Huan Caiyi nodded, confirming her guess. She always thought the Sovereign Profound Realm was the highest cultivation realm in this world, but after entering the Divine Origin realm, she could feel the ''superior world'' above the sky.From ''mortal'' to a ''divine'' state, Huan Caiyi awakened a new ''sensation'' that opened her view of this world.


    The saying there is sky above the sky is indeed true.


    Yujin looked at Huan Caiyi from top to bottom, "Hmm, it seems the Divine me has burned all your impurity away."


    "But that''s not it. You gained another boon from the burning of the Sun''s me."


    "Did I gain something? I don''t feel it." Huan Caiyi blinked, feeling nothing usual besides her vitality getting condensed and deified, and her mental power increased to sense the upper realm.


    Huan Caiyi chuckled, "What a silly inheritor. You have inherited 60 drops of my blood, so it would be weird if you don''t get anything."


    "You can''t feel it. However, you now possess the long-lost True Sun Physique."


    "There are nine stages of True Sun Physique, yours at 1st Sun Realm where Sun''s Seed is forming on your Profound Veins'' Center."


    "Huh? There is such a thing?" Yu Long was also surprised by this.


    Yujin lifted her nose proudly, "Of course! Well, It''s only possible because Caiyi has the Evergreen Immortal Physique. After millions of years, only she has awakened this physique of mine."


    "Probably because of theck of Primordial Energy." Yu Long realized the missing piece of this mystery.


    Yujin nodded helplessly, "Due to the end of the Primordial Era of Gods, the Primordial Energy ceases to exist, and those unique constitutions be scarce and hard to awaken."


    "In the current era, only those born from the Divine Stainless Body could have a chance possessing these unique constitutions."


    "Even then, the Divine Stainless Body is exceedingly rare."


    "No, there is one." Yu Long gently shook his head.


    "There is one?"


    "Yeah. I even know the child birthed from the Divine Stainless Body."


    "You know?!"


    "One is my fiancee, and the other is my younger brother-inw."


    "You have another fiancee?" Huan Caiyi was dumbfounded as she shot him a questioning gaze this time.


    Cough! Cough!


    "I have some fiancee in my homnd." Yu Long didn''t brother lie, but it was still awkward.


    Huan Caiyi pouted because she thought her opponents were only Chu Yuechan, Chu Yueli, that maid girl, and Yun Che''s aunt.


    She couldn''t help but wonder how many women Yu Long had in the Profound Sky Continent.


    No, he might even have more in the Azure Cloud Continent.


    It''s not that Huan Caiyi is mad or anything.


    Since the beginning, Huan Caiyi never expected Yu Long to be monogamous.


    In this world, only those with strength can speak.


    Strength is the most deciding matter.


    If you have unrivaled strength, female cultivators don''t care if you have ten or even hundreds of wives.


    And Huan Caiyi was nning to im the highest spot!


    Unfortunately, Huan Caiyi''s opponents are god-like monsters like Xia Qingyue, Cang Yue (Lan Xuero), Shizu, and other women Yu Long personally cultivated.


    "Yu Long, I want to fight you!" Huan Caiyi suddenly said, shocking Yujin a little.


    "Girl, you''re crazy!" Yujin knew the magnitude of her lord''s power after bing a Kaiju. This little inheritor of hers is asking for a beating.


    Even with Yujin''sment, Huan Caiyi still stared at Yu Long with firm stubbornness. It was clear she wouldn''t take no from Yu Long.


    "..." Yujin. She wanted to spank this inheritor for some reason.


    "Yujin, it''s okay." Yu Long replied with a smile.


    "You want to fight me? Sure."


    "Let''s see how much you have improved after the trials."


    After saying that, Yu Long and Huan Caiyi went to the vast floating rock far away.


    Huan Caiyi pulled her saber and unsheathed it, creating a demonic red aura around her.


    Yu Long didn''t say anything and pulled the knife he made with his bones not too long ago at the Demonic Star Secret Realm.


    "Fight!" Huan Caiyi rushed forward with an explosion. Her figure blurred, leaving a red-green trail in the area. She immediately entered her Berserk State, not allowing a mishap to happen.


    Huan Caiyi knew her strength could notpare to Yu Long''s base, so she went all out instantly. Even with Blood Berserk''s enhancement, she wasn''t confident in winning.


    But afterpleting the trials, Huan Caiyi got something more than the pure bloodline of Golden Crow.


    At this moment, Huan Caiyi''s profound energy roared and boiled rapidly under the cirction of new profound art. A golden aura burst from her body as a Golden Crow''s Divine me rapidly gathered on the Blood Berserker.


    "This is... The Record of Burning World!" Yujin recognized her Profound Art immediately. Although Huan Caiyi used it somewhat amateurishly, there is no mistake that she has mastered some stages of the technique.


    Of course, Yujin also sensed Huan Caiyi using the Record of Burning World not solely for profundity but as a quick method to increase her strength.


    It was surprising to Yujin because Huan Caiyi just finished the trial. Only ten minutes have passed after her trials!


    ''To think she can use the Record of Burning World like this.'' Yujin couldn''t help but chuckle.


    BOOM!


    Another burst of speed happened, allowing Huan Caiyi to disappear from Yu Long''s field of vision. She rapidly ignited her Golden Crow''s blood and temporarily increased her strength by 50%.


    Yes, a 50% boost for each blood she ignited. That''s just how terrifying Huan Caiyi''s way of using her newfound power is.


    She''s not afraid of bacsh.


    All that matters right now is winning this fight!


    Yu Long watched Huan Caiyi''s performance with bright eyes. To be honest, he was surprised.


    He didn''t expect Huan Caiyi to reach this level so quickly.


    Yujin didn''t know this, but Huan Caiyi used the Mana she had cultivated to control the flow of her profound energy. Her mental power is so strong. It can prevent her from getting burned out.


    "Record of Burning World - Fifth Stage: Golden Annihtion!" Huan Caiyi screamed, causing all the golden aura and me to condense on the tip of her saber, exploding simultaneously.


    The explosion shook the secret realm. Burningva sshed everywhere, and thunder struck the ground rapidly, leaving no floating rock in the Sea of Death.


    "Fuck! Fuck! You''re going to destroy my home!" Yujin cursed, feeling this powerful attack turn the Golden Crow''s Lightning me Valley upside down.


    Yu Long responded with the same ferocity. His knife burst with a ghastly dark aura as four jet-ck wings appeared on his back, cutting off the heat and thunder from the sky.


    He pointed his knife at Huan Caiyi, "Dark Edge."


    BOOOOOOOOM!!!


    Huan Caiyi saw a highly concentrated dark energy exploding and rushing to her face. She gritted her teeth and swung her saber with all her might, causing a fierce sh in the area,


    Golden and dark energy shed, shattering the space-time barrier in the Golden Crow''s Lightning me Valley.


    SHING! CRACK!


    "Fuck! Fuck! I don''t know anymore!" Yujin cried for her trial ground.


    It''s supposed to be a spar!


    These two are going too far!


    "AAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!" Huan Caiyi sessfully shed the dark energy, but her momentum was ''naturally'' lost in the exchange. She stumbled on her steps and crashed into Yu Long, tackling him down the ground.


    "Hehe, you lose." Yu Long''s chuckle enters Huan Caiyi''s ears.


    Huan Caiyi''s face flushed as she clenched her hand and made a bold yet unexpected move. She grabbed Yu Long''s face and nted cherry lips on him, sealing his mouth.


    Smooch~!


    Huan Caiyi pushed her boundary, seizing Yu Long''s lips and even ying with his tongue. Her hot and heavy breath echoed in the suddenly silent secret realm.


    After a few minutes, Huan Caiyi sat on Yu Long''s stomach and looked down with a feverish look.


    "T-This is my win." She said with a stutter.


    Yu Long was stunned all this time. "You..."


    He sighed helplessly.


    "Yeah, yeah, it''s your victory."


    "But who said it''s over?"He gave her a yful look.


    Huan Caiyi''s body shivered in expectation.


    ...

 Chapter 299: Huan Caiyis Delight~! (Lemon!)

    Chapter 299: Huan Caiyi''s Delight~! (Lemon!)


    I have added this fanfic to my P4treon Page. You can support me and read advanced chapters there. It motivate me to write more chapters for you guys!


    Link: /NineClouds69


    --- Chapter 296 ---


    Yu Long and Huan Caiyi stared at each other deeply.


    The former smiled yfully and snapped his finger, causing the space-time barrier around them to warp. They disappeared from the Golden Crow Lightning me Valley, leaving Yujin alone.


    "W-What! Don''t leave me alone!" Yujin couldn''t help butin. Her lord and new inheritor is so cruel. As soon as they were fascinated with each other, they abandoned her!


    Meanwhile.


    In an unknown space.


    "Where are we?" asked Huan Caiyi in awe.A moment ago, they were in the Golden Crow''s Trial Ground. But now, they are in another space with grassy terrain, azure blue sky, andfortable sunlight.


    "This is a pocket dimension I created." Yu Long replied casually. "Although it was a hassle to create a liveable space, I sessfully made it by fusing several different profound aspects."


    "Aspects of space, time, life, death, and manifestation."


    "You can do that?" Huan Caiyi was speechless.


    A while ago, Yujin believed that Yu Long''s powers exceeded the Four Creation Gods to a certain extent. And she really meant it.


    Yu Long smiled calmly, "Believe it or not, this realm is merely a prototype."


    "You can do the same thing when you reach a higher mastery of profound aspects."


    "But it was enough to teach a silly girl like you a lesson for now."


    Huan Caiyi felt Yu Long''s strong arms hugging her thin waist and t stomach, exploring her trembling body.


    "Caiyi... Are you ready?" Yu Long''s warm yet deep voice tickled her red ears.


    Gasp!


    Huan Caiyi''s breathing hitched. She couldn''t believe this happened so quickly, "M-Mhm!"


    <strong>**<em>Lemon''s Start </em>**</strong>


    Yu Long seized Huan Caiyi''s waist and cupped her chin, staring at her beautiful eyes. Words couldn''t describe his mood anymore.


    After being tempted by this demoness repeatedly, Yu Long couldn''t help but get agitated. Ultimately, he is a young man in the prime of his youth, full of energy.


    "Kiss me..." Huan Caiyi said this with eyes closed.


    "Give me your love, Yu Long."


    "Make me yours~!"


    Hearing such a tempting voice, even a strong-willed Yu Long lost in his hot-bloodness.


    Smooch!


    Yu Long gently kissed Huan Caiyi''s juicy lips.


    Then, he began to dive deeper and took her tongue.


    Their wet kissing noise echoed in the pocket dimension, making Huan Caiyi''s body hotter.


    Mwah! Smack! Mwah!


    Huan Caiyi, whocked much experience, felt this was apletely new realm. She didn''t know kissing someone could be so enjoyable.


    Why didn''t she do this sooner?


    Haa! Haa!


    Huan Caiyi breathed huskily, staring at Yu Long with a feverish look. All her body felt hot, especially her lower half.


    Yu Long stared at her amusingly, "How cute."


    "D-Don''t call me that..." Huan Caiyi blushed. People called her demoness and tyrant, but being called cute, especially by Yu Long, made her feel flustered.


    It''s hard to believe this flustered maiden is the Demon Empress of the Illusory Demon Realm. Huan Caiyi''s subjects might have their jaws hit the ground if they saw this new side of her.


    Seeing her like this, Yu Long only smiled and hugged her. He''ll let his action speak.


    Ah~!


    Huan Caiyi was surprised, feeling Yu Long''s yful tongue licking her nape. She could feel him slowly teasing her ear to her earlobe and then her corbone.


    He sucked on those areas while groping her bubble butts, smacking them a little.


    Pa!


    Huan Caiyi yelped in pleasure. Yu Long''s big build overwhelmed her lithe figure, and everything he did increased her arousal by a lot.


    Ah! Ah! Ah!


    Huan Caiyi moaned joyfully.


    Yu Long ripped Huan Caiyi''s new dress, exposing her fair and hourss body. Her supple, rosy skin made him lick his lips in expectation.


    Yu Long''s finger traced down to Huan Caiyi''s corbone, making her shiver before passing through the valley between her twin mountains.


    Ah!


    "No, don''t touch them."


    "They are sensitive-! Aaahn!" Before Huan Caiyi could finish her words, Yu Long pinched her pink peak. Her beautiful eyes widened in disbelief as electric shock spread from her erogenous zones to her whole body.


    Huan Caiyi watched Yu Long bring the other pink peak to his mouth, sucking it with delight.


    Slurp!


    AAAHN~!


    "Y-Yu Long!" Huan Caiyi''s delightful cry rang in the area.


    Yu Long gave her a cunning look, "Caiyi, you''re so delicious. It''s a shame that you have no milk yet."


    "Still, I like it!"


    Yu Long pushed Huan Caiyi to the soft, tangible cloud he made with the power of manifestation. "Caiyi, be a good girl for me and spread your legs."


    "But it''s dirty there!" Huan Caiyi was shy. Although Yu Long has seen her bare body, that area is ''actually'' still covered by a sliver of clothes.


    Yu Long chuckled and caressed her gently, "Nothing about it is dirty, trust me. You''re beautiful."


    Hearing this, Huan Caiyi bit her lips and slowly spread her plump and tender legs.


    Looking down, Yu Long sighed, "See, you''re beautiful!"


    Huan Caiyi was happy to be praised and sensed a lick on her lower mouth that made her shudder again. She looked down hurriedly and saw Yu Long alreadypping her pink folds.


    He skillfully licked him, teasing the entrance.


    AH! AH! AH!


    "Aaaaaaahhn!" Huan Caiyi rolled her eyes. The pleasure was too much for her virgin mind to handle.


    She gushed out like a fountain!


    Yu Long licked his lips, "Delicious."


    He slowly stood up and saw Huan Caiyi in her afterglow, realizing how charming she was after that. He hissed inside because that look made him want to tease her more.


    But it''s time for the main menu.


    Huan Caiyi recovered quickly. However, she was ''suddenly'' greeted by the sight of a monster.


    The length.


    The width.


    She couldn''t help but wonder if that thing could fit into her.


    "What do you think?" asked Yu Long, who unbuckled his pants.


    "Big." Huan Caiyi replied nervously.


    Yu Long smiled, "Don''t worry. It will fit."


    "You will adapt to it."


    "I will make your body remember it."


    Yu Long ced his younger brother on Huan Caiyi''s abdomen and rubbed it slowly.


    Huan Caiyi was nervous, very nervous. Yet she has this deep sense of thrill to take on this monster.


    "Give it to me, Yu Long..."


    "Give me your monster!"


    "dly, my little empress." Yu Long pulled Huan Caiyi''s legs up and pushed his hardened member inside.


    Huan Caiyi instinctively jerked her body as the shock from getting pierced was too much. "Aaaahhn~!"


    It was painful.


    But Yu Long''s kiss slowly melted that pain away.


    Soon, all Huan Caiyi could feel was pleasure.


    Pure, unadulterated pleasure!


    Yu Long moved his hip and smacked Huan Caiyi''s ass, making her moan every time.


    Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa!


    Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!


    Huan Caiyi was addicted. She doesn''t want this to end.


    She hugged Yu Long and was lifted, causing the monster to move even deeper into her womb. Her pupils turned love-shaped, indicating her immersion in pleasure.


    "Yu Long!"


    "Yu Long!"


    "Yu Long!"


    "I''m going touuuuu!"


    "AAAAAAAHHHN!"


    "Take my baby batter, Caiyi!" Yu Long pushed up with all his might, filling Huan Caiyi''s box with creamy white sauce.


    After that, they fell to the soft clouds again.


    Huan Caiyi felt Yu Long''s weight on her body and hugged him peacefully, smiling like a fool. "I think I can''t get enough of this."


    "You''re going to make me dumb with all this pleasure..."


    "But do you like it?" Yu Long pecked Huan Caiyi''s forehead.


    "Of course... I LOVE IT!" Huan Caiyi squirmed in his embrace.


    "And I want more of it!"


    With that, Yu Long and Huan Caiyi began another session until the little empress pleaded for mercy.


    <strong>**<em>Lemon''s End </em>**</strong>


    On the outside, Yujin punched the ground with tears running from her eyes.


    She was envious of Huan Caiyi.


    "It should have been me!"


    "Not her! ME!!!!"


    "I''M SOOO JEALOUUUSS!"


    "IT''S SO UNFAIR!"
