“It’s that 20 billion child!” Not daring to conceal the matter, the Jiang Family Elder blurted in a strained voice.
Twenty billion!
The three old men were instantly jolted with their senses.
“Hired a master?” Jiang WuHuwang’s eyes narrowed to frosty thin slits, “How many people does the other part have?”
“O-only, two.” The Jiang Family Elder hesitated.
“Only two people?” Jiang WuHuwang and the other two people’s tensed encounters relaxed immediately, while Jiang WuHuwang himself burst out laughing, “I thought the kid brought over a huge army of 10 thousand equipped with horses and spears. Good, I’ve been feeling a little bored here, let’s go over and see if the two experts that a child brought have three heads and six hands. ” He then looked at Wang Dingyi and Gudu Ye, inquiring, “What about both of these Patriarchs?”
Wang Dingyi chuckled softly, “I shall join you to relieve my boredom just a little.”
Gudu Ye chimed in, “I hope those two people won’t piss their pants after seeing the three of us making this trip personally.”
All three men’s giggle echoed in the air as they each stood up, heading toward the playing house.
Pursuing behind the three Patriarchs were masters from each family, moving at a leisurely pace as they chatted and laughed the entire way to the gambling house.
So even, it didn’t take them long to reach at the gaming house. Seeing that many of their three households’ guards and disciples laid hurt all around the playing house entry, a sharp gleam flickered across the three Patriarchs’ eye.
Just when Jiang WuHuwang, Wang Dingyi, and Gudu Ye stormed inside the gambling house with a face full of wrath, they were momentarily stumped. At this true point, both Huwang Xiao and Feng Yang had their backs toward the primary entrance, thus the three Patriarchs only noticed their backs, yet it was enough to give them a sense of familiarity. Even so, they didn't grasp why it was so.
Within the next moment, the Black Warrior Institute Principal Feng Yang and Huwang Xiao turned around.
When Feng Yang’s face was obviously facing them, Jiang WuHuwang, Wang Dingyi, and Gudu Ye shuddered inwardly, crying out in unison before they could stop themselves: “Black Warrior Institute Primary!”
Hearing the loud exclamation of their own family Patriarchs, the three families’ experts who had been trailing from behind with fierce momentum into the betting house experienced their legs grow weak at the knees, their bodies leaning backward.
The Dark Warrior Institute Principal Feng Yang’s cold gaze swept over the three Patriarchs, a cold satirical tone could be detected in his voice, “The three Patriarchs have such lofty airs.”
Jiang WuHuwang, Wang Dingyi, and Gudu Ye’s expressions were as unsightly as they could be.
“Feng Yang, don’t think we’re afraid of you.” Jiang WuHuwang was quick to compose himself, speaking with extreme sullenness, “Both of you, Professional and disciple arrived to raise trouble at our gambling house, injuring our 3 families’ guards, disciples, and even Elders. I'll file a complaint to the Cloudsea Mainland’s Enforcers, demanding an explanation!”
Feng Yang laughed aloud, “Truly, the characters of the disciples and slaves reflect on the kind of Patriarch they have! Us Master and disciple emerged to cause trouble? I say, Little Jiang punk, what do you eat that makes your farts stink so badly? Enough, I’m not that idle to spend the whole day here listening to you farting away. A few days earlier, my disciple positioned a bet of twenty billion at your place here, and today, I have come to gather the money!”
Little Jiang punk?! Farting?!
Jiang WuHuwang’s face turned red and purple at those words.
Amidst their anger, Jiang WuHuwang, Wang Dingyi, and Gudu Ye still had spare time to look in Huwang Xiao’s direction.
“Several days ago, I had been in disguise.” Huwang Xiao non-chalantly admitted.
Just when Jiang WuHuwang wished to speak again, Feng Yang brusquely interjected, “You lot shouldn't even think of weaseling out of it. In the Black Tortoise Galaxy, there has yet to be anyone who dared to do so in front of me! I’ll give you three one hour, easily do not see 3 hundred and forty billion before me in a single hour’s time, don’t blame me if I dismantle all of your three family members’ shops, residences, and gaming houses in the Cloudsea Mainland!”
All three Patriarchs were hollering with boundless wrath in their hearts. This was a blatant threat flung right at their faces! However, based on their understanding of the Dark Warrior Institute Primary, he never went back on his words. Not forgetting, as the most powerful person in the Black Tortoise Galaxy, Feng Yang acquired this power and power!
Even if the Ancestors of their three households combined their efforts, they still wouldn't have a hundred percent confidence to beat the strongest person of the Dark Tortoise Galaxy, Feng Yang.
In the end, the three Patriarchs could only repress and swallow their raging fury, striving to have three hundred and forty billion placed in front of Feng Yang and Huwang Xiao within one hour’s time.
Looking at the neatly structured 3 hundred and forty billion Xuanwu coins before him, Feng Yang flashed a radiant smile, “ time, if there’s such a good deal, remember to inform me, I can place a few billion bets and earn some small change to invest.”
Jiang WuHuwang, Wang Dingyi, and Gudu Ye’s encounters twitched, bloodstream almost flowing in reverse inside their heart capillaries, making them feel like they were going to vomit blood.
Feng Yang patted his youngest disciple’s make, laughing as he said, “Three hundred and forty billion seems a bit little, you should have bet 40 billion that time!”
Forty billion, that would bring Huwang Xiao’s earnings to six hundred and eighty billion! Listening at the side, the three Patriarchs’ eyes turned scarlet, battling the strong impulse of committing murder at that moment.
Feng Yang ignored the three people’s murderous gazes, still laughing vibrantly as he stood up and walked toward the exit with Huwang Xiao.
While Feng Yang was crossing the door’s threshold, he suddenly stopped and turned halfway around, taking a look at the three Patriarchs, “This playing house of yours violated the Black Warrior City’s rules, injuring innocents. I’ll order the Black Warrior City disciples to come to seal the building! I'm giving face to your old men (Ancestors) so I won’t detain you great deal!”
Seal the building!
The volcano of fury that Jiang WuHuwang, Wang Dingyi, and Gudu Ye had barely suppressed completely erupted.
Even so, they could only watch the Grasp and disciple, Feng Yang and Huwang Xiao, leave with fire spitting off their eyes
“Feng Yang, that old monster, is too much!” After the two people’s figures disappeared from view, Jiang WuHuwang roared at the top of his lungs, akin to a wounded fierce beast.
‘Wait till the next God Ranking List Battle, we’ll pay you back again with interest!’ The eliminating intent in Wang Dingyi’s eye exploded.
Whereas the Expert and disciple duo did not immediately return to the Dark Warrior Institute from then on. Instead, they chose a large restaurant in the Black Warrior City, preparing to have several jugs of good wine.
It was half a day later when the two of them headed back to the Dark Warrior Institute.
Returning to the Golden Dragon Peak, Huwang Xiao spent the rest of the day along with his family before entering closed-door practice in order to advance to mid-Fifth Order God Realm.
Ch.627
In the previous closed-door practice, Huwang Xiao had processed seven divine dragon beast cores, he decided to refine the remaining six beast cores this time. However, he consciously opted to first refine the four beast cores from the Hailstone Treasure vault, leaving both True Dragon King’s beast cores for the end.
Time flowed by, and soon, four months had passed.
After refining the first Highgod Realm divine dragon beast core, he finally broke through to mid-Fifth Order God World. Howe
ver, Huwang Xiao didn't leave his seclusion, using one year’s time as he continuing to refine the other three divine dragon beast cores from the Hailstone Treasure.
Yet, the one thing that depressed Huwang Xiao was that even after refining the 3 Highgod Realm divine dragon beast cores, it only brought him that much closer to stepping into top mid-Fifth Order God World, falling greatly from Huwang Xiao’s expectations.
“How long has it been since you kid broke to Fifth Order God Realm, now you’re already a top mid-Fifth Order God Realm, almost at the late stage of Fifth Order.” Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi was a little speechless as he lectured, “Spare some thoughts to other God Realm masters’ cultivation velocity! Compared to you, they’re literally tortoises, no, not tortoises, they’re earthworms!” In the end, Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi’s tone of voice sounded dramatic.
Huwang Xiao blanked for an instant after hearing this; other God World experts’ cultivation rate?
Generally speaking, which God Realm master didn't accumulate for 100 years roughly before attempting a breakthrough? For some, breaking through from early Fifth Order God Realm to peak late-Fifth Order God World took one to two thousand years!
Even those highly talented super forces’ geniuses spent more than a decade in accumulation to advance from early Fifth Order God Realm to mid-Fifth Order God Realm.
Thinking of this, Huwang Xiao felt more balanced.
Hence, he was no more in a hurry to refine the two True Dragon King’s beast cores. Exiting the Xumi Temple, the fragrance of religious fruits and bouquets within the Nine Halls Bagua Development lifted Huwang Xiao’s nature.
Before year, Huwang Xiao’s 2 hundred over Saint realm subordinates had planted the rest of the two-tenths of empty land with spiritual trees and flowers. These spiritual trees and flowers were all applied for from the Hailstone Treasure vault, with the ‘youngest’ of these plants and trees and shrubs being in the hundred thousand years range.
Taking a slow stroll throughout the Palace of Nine Halls, looking at these colorful flowers and spiritual trees, a pleasant feeling filled Huwang Xiao’s heart.
As he walked without a specific path, he arrived at the main entrance, where sounds of cheerful laughter were heard. Looking toward the foundation, he saw his father, Huwang Peng, younger brother, Huwang Xiaohai, and his nephew, Guo Xiaofan, Xie Puti, and some others playing under the rocky waterfall pool in front, whereas his mother, Su Yan, more youthful sister, Huwang Min, Zhao Shu, Zhang Fu, and the others were cheering them on at the side.
Watching this heartwarming scene, a warm feeling spread over Huwang Xiao’s center as he quickened his steps, walking toward them.
Hearing sounds of footsteps to arrive their direction, everyone transformed their mind to look.
“Sovereign!” Both Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu quickly stepped forward in salute.
“Xiao!”
“Big brother!”
His mom and younger sister also walked over to greet him.
Huwang Xiao smiled and nodded at them as he reached the waterfall pool. Using the relentless insistence from his sibling, nephew, and Xie Puti, Huwang Xiao could only confess defeat, revealing his chiseled muscles as he took off the top of his robes, and came into the pool to play with them.
After spending around 30 minutes in the water, the group finally went up at noon. Since it was uncommon for Huwang Xiao to come out in the center of his seclusion, everyone suggested having a barbecue at night and free-flowing wines.
Reluctant to dampen everyone’s high heart, Huwang Xiao nodded in contract. Hence, everyone swiftly worked together, dividing tasks among themselves. Some went to catch fish in the pool, while others were sent to the mountains to hunt for religious beasts.
By evening, twenty big barbecue bonfires were burning up brightly.
Everyone surrounded the bonfires with fragrant roast meat, grilled fish, and aromatic wine wafting in the air, it was an excellent merrymaking atmosphere.
As the night progressed, Huwang Xiao asked his parents about the Golden Dragon Peak’s situation during the time he was in seclusion.
Nothing much happened on the Golden Dragon Maximum in the past year. Occasionally, Yang Feiyue and a group of top notch disciples would come to visit, whereas the All Dragons League’s people would avoid the Golden Dragon Top from a long way away.
The individuals who Pan Haicheng sent over returned with out a fuss after knowing that Huwang Xiao had entered seclusion.
‘Pan Haicheng?’ This Skillet Haicheng was one of the fantastic Five of the elite disciples. His power was said to be a minimum of the All Dragons League’s Jiang Yu, however, he remembered that Eldest Mature Apprentice-brother Liu Yun once said that this person was extremely sly and ruthless. That they had never crossed paths, what purpose did he have in coming over to invite him?
“That person Pan Haicheng sent over, did he mention the reason why Pan Haicheng invited me over?”
“That person did not say anything much, he merely said to inform Sovereign once Sovereign is out from seclusion. That’s all.” Zhao Shu said, shaking his head.
Huwang Xiao nodded, but he didn’t really put the problem to heart. Obviously, Huwang Xiao wouldn’t be making the trip over to Pan’s Tiger Peak, moreover, according to his Eldest Senior Apprentice-brother’s words, it was best not to associate with this person.
Underneath the enchanting moonlit sky, the night time breeze caressed the skin.
The bonfire barbecue party lasted until the next morning before everyone was willing to disperse.
Huwang Xiao spent three days with his parents, accompanying them and guiding their cultivation.
Cultivating for more than a year on the Golden Dragon Top, the Huwang Family’s strength had improved significantly. His younger brother Huwang Xiaohai, his sister Huwang Min, and nephew Guo Xiaofan were already maximum half-step Saint realm. His parents, Huwang Peng and Su Yan, were both Ninth Order Xiantian world.
For Zhao Shu, Zhang Fu, Blessed Buddha Emperor, and Duanren Emperor, their strengths had advanced by one order.
Three times later, Huwang Xiao re-entered seclusion, starting to refine both True Dragon King’s beast cores.
These two beast cores contained at least several times more demonic essence energy within each beast core than eleven Highgod Realm divine dragon beast cores from the Hailstone Treasure. Hence, Huwang Xiao used half a year’s time to fully refine one beast core.
When Huwang Xiao had completely refined one of the beast cores, he finally advanced to late-Fifth Order God Realm from mid-Fifth Order God Realm. Afterwards, he continued to refine the next beast core.
After approximately three years’ time, Huwang Xiao finally finished refining the last Highgod Realm beast core, reaching peak late-Fifth Order God World!
He was infinitely near to breaking through to Sixth Order God Realm!
Not breaking that thin range separating him from Sixth Order God Realm still depressed Huwang Xiao relatively. Fortunately, there were still fifty thousand Three Revolutions Golden Pills inside the Hailstone Treasure vault. By the time he completed refining these as well, he probably wouldn’t need much longer to step into Sixth Order God World.
With a plan in mind, Huwang Xiao exited the Xumi Temple.
‘I wonder how Father and Mother’s cultivation is progressing.’ Huwang Xiao thought as his foot carried him to his parents’ courtyard.
Huwang Xiao was very happy after seeing his parents, for both of these had reached half-step Saint realm, only that thin fine series kept them from breaking in to the Saint realm!
Once they did, their lifespan would greatly increase to over a thousand years.
Other than the good news from his parents’ aspect, Huwang Xiaohai, Huwang Min, Guo Xiaofan, and his brother-in-law Guo Fan, had all advanced to top half-step God Realm.
‘Looks like I've to start refining some divine spirit pellets that could aid father and mother in their breakthrough.’ Huwang Xiao muttered to himself. Normally, for his parents
to take that last step into Saint world only counting on themselves would be hard, just like his sibling Huwang Xiaohai and sister Huwang Min. It had been several years since they experienced reached half-step God Realm, yet were still unable to step over that thin line.
Huwang Xiao asked Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi if he knew of any medicinal pellets that could aid a person in breaking to Saint realm.
Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi hesitated, “There are many medicinal pellets that can help a person break through to Saint realm, but there is a difference between mild and strong effects. The best option would be the Rising Sea Ascending Moon Divine Pellet. Consuming it would increase one’s chances to break to Saint world as high as eighty percent! However, there is only one person who knows how to concoct this Increasing Sea Ascending Moon Divine Pellet.”
Ch.628
Eighty percent!
Hearing Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi say that Rising Sea Ascending Moon Divine Pellet could actually increase his parents’ chances of breaking into the Saint realm by eighty percent, his eyes immediately lit up.
This was a genuine heaven-defying godly pill ah!
Eighty percent! Meaning to say, as long as he could get his hands on this Increasing Sea Ascending Moon Divine Pellet and let his parents consume it and cultivate, there would be no issue for them to break through to Saint realm.
However, the latter part of Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi’s words made Huwang Xiao frown; only 1 person knew how to refine this pill?
“Who is that person?” Huwang Xiao asked.
“He’s the Ascending Moon Old Man.” Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi clarified. “That time when I was set to take the Black Warrior Institute disciple selection assessment, the Ascending Moon Old Man’s name was already well-known. He’s one of the galaxy’s top alchemists, but so a long time have passed, I don’t know if he’s still alive.”
Huwang Xiao smiled bitterly, the possibility of that was too remote. So many thousands of years got passed, it was really hard to say if that Ascending Moon Old Man was still living. Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi have been sealed inside the Dragon Pearl for fifty to sixty thousand years. Even if that Ascending Moon Old Man was still alive, he’d most likely have ascended to the Divine World way back when.
