Hearing that his Senior Brother Shi Fantian wanted some Divine Dragon Pills, Huwang Xiao took out the remaining twenty Divine Dragon Pill, Water Fire Pill, Reverse Dragon Pill and others from the Asura Ring without a word and gave them to his Senior Sibling despite knowing that he was just joking.
If his Senior Brother could take out all the Dragon God Grass from the treasure chamber because of him, he couldn’t be stingy in reciprocating, isn’t that so?
Shi Fantian and the Blessed Buddha Empire experts stared stupidly at the twenty over pieces of divine grade soul pellets, mouths agape.
“Junior Brother, this...!” Shi Fantian sensed embarrassed.
Huwang Xiao waved his hand, smiling as he said, “Didn’t Senior Sibling just say that between us there’s no need for so much courtesy?”
Shi Fantian relaxed, “Fine then, Senior Brother will accept them.” Shi Fantian said. No longer refusing, he put away the twenty bits of pellets.
A short while later, the person that Shi Fantian instructed to bring the seventeen stalks of Dragon God Lawn from the treasure chamber returned, lining them up before Huwang Xiao. Huwang Xiao was almost beside himself looking at the seventeen stalks of Dragon God Grass. Moments later, he put all of them away in the Asura Band.
Seventeen stalks Dragon God Lawn! It was enough for him to refine two primordial divine dragons! Huwang Xiao inhaled deeply to calm himself.
The banquet lasted until wee hours of the night before everyone dispersed.
Standing at the guts of the palace residence courtyard Shi Fantian arranged for him, a sudden mood hit Huwang Xiao and he started to apply the martial arts he learned in his previous life in the yard, from Ethereal Palm to Vanquishing Devil Fist.
This is the imperial palace after all, as a newly arrived guest, Huwang Xiao wasn’t thick enough to enter a long period of closed-door practice to refine the primordial divine dragons. Using the seventeen stalks Dragon God Grass in hand, Huwang Xiao didn’t feel so anxious that he couldn’t wait a day or two.
After he previously completed one round all the fighting techinques he learned in his past life, Huwang Xiao took out a piece of Hell Royal Blood Stone and ran the Asura Strategies to absorb the bountiful high quality energy inside.
These days, Huwang Xiao’s Asura Tactics improved at amazing speed, he had entered the sixth stage and began comprehending the edges of mid-sixth stage.
Once Huwang Xiao’s Asura Methods advanced to the seventh stage, changes would happen to the Asura battle qi in his body. This transformation included his Asura Physique and Wings of Demon.
The night passed in quiet solitude.
The next morning hours, the sun was shining bright and brilliant as Huwang Xiao come out from his room.
Just as Huwang Xiao stepped away, Shi Xiaofei had been walking into his backyard, inquiring if Huwang Xiao had time to take a stroll in the streets.
“Stroll the streets?” Huwang Xiao looked at Shi Xiaofei with a blank expression.
Shi Xiaofei’s head lowered to hide her face, “I've taken a stroll around the town for more than ten years.”
“More than a decade?” Huwang Xiao was rendered speechless. Wasn't his Senior Sibling too strict with his daughter?! No question when he was traveling to Starcloud Continent Shi Xiaofei wanted to follow and have a look.
“En.” In the end, he nodded. He was planning to go out.
Initially, Shi Xiaofei was afraid that Huwang Xiao wouldn’t agree, but seeing that Huwang Xiao actually agreed, her face bloomed into a radiant smile, even tiptoeing forward to plant a kiss on his cheek.
Before Huwang Xiao could react, a blushing Shi Xiaofei ran a long way away, her voice floating to his ears, “Big brother Huwang, thank you! I’m going to get ready!”
Watching a flustered Shi Xiaofei operating away, Huwang Xiao came to his senses. Shaking his mind, his fingers traced the spot Shi Xiaofei kissed, a lingering scent that belonged to her remained.
This made Huwang Xiao think of Li Lu.
A while later, a ready Shi Xiaofei returned with Xiaorou and Xiaoyue, standing before Huwang Xiao.
Shi Xiaofei changed into a pastel green long dress, and although she didn’t apply much rouge, her natural beauty was mesmerizing enough that one would be unwilling to move their gaze away.
“Your government Huwang, let’s go.” Seeing Huwang Xiao was looking at her a little dazedly, Shi Xiaofei urged.
“Oh.” Huwang Xiao snapped back again to his senses. A helpless feeling rose within, ancient wisdom teaches that beautiful women are the root of troubles. This was indeed true, a woman being too beautiful might not necessarily be a good thing.
Huwang Xiao could predict the problem on the streets later, there have been bound to be basketfuls of miscellaneous problems.
As expected, when the four of them were walking in the roads, some self-assuming big family disciples that had utmost confidence in their outstanding visual appearance inevitably approached these to build some rapport. Our Young Noble Divine Dragon Huwang Xiao could only take on the role of the cavalier.
By the end of the day, Huwang Xiao had lost count of the number of times he ‘exposed’ strength in order to deter those ‘outlandishly handsome’ big family disciples.
Of course, it didn’t mean that everyone was deterred by Huwang Xiao’s show of force the first time around. For instance, a Wu Family disciple named Wu Zhengyi.
Wu Zhengyi sneered as he viewed Huwang Xiao with condescending eyes, “Yo brat, a measly slave, your Miss still hasn’t said anything, why are you gaining airs in front of me?”
Xiaorou and Xiaoyue were clutching their mouths exaggeratedly viewing Wu Zhengyi, their gazes baffled Wu Zhengyi.
Shi Xiaofei frowned, and a trace of anger flickered past her face. Huwang Xiao experienced yet to act, but her palm got struck Wu Zhengyi across space, sending him flying into high air with a dozen somersaults before falling to the ground.
“Big brother Huwang, I…” Shi Xiaofei faced Huwang Xiao. It made her center uncomfortable that Huwang Xiao was scolded because he was protecting her.
“It’s fine.” Huwang Xiao shook his head, a faint smile tugged at the corner of his lips.
In the Blessed Buddha Palace, hearing his subordinate’s report, Shi Fantian looked over at Li Mengle, “This is the first time our baby daughter actually hit someone because of a man!”
Li Mengle smiled, “Wasn’t I the same before?”
Shi Fantian sighed softly.
“But we don’t know how Junior Brother Huwang feels about our Xiaofei.” Li Mengle said.
Shi Fantian wasn’t concerned about this, “This is a matter between two people, there’s nothing much we can do, but I could tell, Junior Sibling has a good impression our baby child. Didn’t we begin from good impressions as well?”
“That Deities Templar, what are they doing now? ” Li Mengle all of a sudden changed the subject.
“They have been keeping a low profile.” Shi Fantian said, but this relaxed made the unease in Shi Fantian’s heart grow stronger, it was akin to the calm before the storm.
He had a feeling, when the shit surprise hits, it would come fast and hard, pulling the entire Snow Wind Continent into it, the Blessed Buddha Empire as well.
The day passed fairly quickly.
The sunset at dusk, reflecting the last of the day’s rays held an inexplicable beauty.
After a day of cavalier duty, Huwang Xiao finally returned to his courtyard in the Blessed Buddha Palace. Getting news of his return, Shi Fantian personally came over to request Huwang Xiao for dinner.
Viewing Shi Fantian come in person, Huwang Xiao didn’t feel good refusing.
Through the banquet, Shi Fantian suddenly said, “That Wu Zhengyi, I’ve already informed the Wu Family Patriarch to take care of him.”
Huwang Xiao waved his hands, stating it was no big deal.
“Junior Brother, are you still in need of Dragon God Lawn? ” Shi Fantian abruptly jumped to another
topic.
Catching the underlying meaning of Shi Fantian’s words, Huwang Xiao was delighted, “Does Senior Brother know where I can find more Dragon God Grass?”
Shi Fantian chuckled, “That’s right. Several hundred years ago, I went to the Ten Directions Continent, the Dragon God Grass in my Blessed Buddha treasure chamber was collected from a place called Poison Dragon Valley when I was on Ten Directions Continent. Though I did not enter the deeper parts of the Poison Dragon Valley, I think there should be some inside.”
This is great news for Huwang Xiao. He didn’t expect Shi Fantian’s Dragon God Lawn to come from the Ten Directions Continent’s Poison Dragon Valley.
“But, the air in Poison Dragon Valley is heavy with poison, the more powerful poison can render even a high-level Saint world expert helpless. Not forgetting, the land is fertile, with numerous poisonous insects and beasts, some of them possess great strength.” Shi Fantian asked again, “Will Junior Brother actually want to go?”’
Ch.445
Huwang Xiao understood that his Senior Brother was persuading him for his own good, however, if the 10 Directions Continent had the Dragon God Grass that he needed, Huwang Xiao was determined to make the trip.
He faced Shi Fantian saying, “This Dragon God Grass is very important to me, therefore this trip to the Ten Directions Continent is inevitable.”
Detecting the conviction in Huwang Xiao’s tone of voice, Shi Fantian didn’t try to persuade him further. Subsequently, Shi Fantian recounted his experience when he ventured in to the Poison Dragon Valley so that Huwang Xiao would have a minimum understanding of the place.
Huwang Xiao quietly took note of everything his Senior Sibling said.
At first, he previously planned to stay in the Blessed Buddha Empire to refine two primordial divine dragons, but realizing that there was Dragon God Lawn on the 10 Directions Continent, Huwang Xiao changed his plan.
After staying for two more days in the Blessed Buddha Palace, Huwang Xiao departed for the Ten Directions Continent.
When he still left, Shi Xiaofei walked with him until ten thousand li outside the Blessed Buddha Imperial City.
As he turned to leave, Shi Xiaofei instantly hugged him, vowing: “Your government Huwang, I will practice hard! ” Then she turned around and still left.
Huwang Xiao caught a glimpse of the reluctance and sadness in her eye.
It was quite some time later when Huwang Xiao turned around and flew into the air, moving further away from the Blessed Buddha Imperial City.
Before going to the Ten Directions Continent, Huwang Xiao made a decision to make a small detour toward the secret space at the bottom of the Broken Tiger Rift to see his family.
It had been a long time since he left the trick space and Huwang Xiao wondered if his parents and siblings were doing well. Apart from that, he planned to refine two more primordial divine dragons in the Eminent Holiness secret space.
Flying the whole way, Huwang Xiao reached the Eminent Holiness secret space five days later.
Huwang Xiao’s come back instantly brought a burst of cheer and liveliness in the Eminent Holiness space, sounds of laughter packed the environment.
In little over a year since Huwang Xiao left, everyone had improved greatly.
His younger brother Huwang Xiaohai was already a Second Order Xiantian, Fei Hou had entered the Third Order Xiantian realm and was a maximum early-Third Order Xiantian realm expert, whereas Marshal Houtian had reached the Fourth Order Xiantian realm.
After taking the hundred over Ghost King Dans bestowed by Huwang Xiao, Yu Ming’s current strength had the reached the boundary limit of peak-half Saint. Although he had yet to break through to Saint realm, it was only a matter of time.
His parents, Huwang Peng and Su Yan, looked more and more youthful with the nature pellets and elixirs given by Huwang Xiao. Though both of their cultivations stagnated at top late-Tenth Order Houtian, an average First Order Xiantian world expert wasn’t their opponent.
His sister Huwang Min and Guo Tai both advanced one order, whereas his nephew, Guo Xiaofan, had grown a lot taller. At seven years old, the tiny guy’s martial spirit was awakened and he started to cultivate fight qi.
What amazed Huwang Xiao was that Guo Xiaofan’s martial soul was a superb talent martial heart, although being only a first-rank quality eleven martial spirit. With Huwang Xiao’s guidance, Guo Xiaofan acquired a good chance of breaking in to the Saint realm.
After spending ten carefree and relaxing days with the family, Huwang Xiao once again went into closed-door practice to refine the primordial divine dragons.
This time, Huwang Xiao planned to refine the primordial divine water dragon.
Like the open fire dragon, the water dragon ranked in the bottom amongst the thirteen primordial divine dragons that Huwang Xiao had, which made the refining process easier.
He sat cross-legged at the center of the 10 Buddha Formation after swallowing eight stalks Dragon God Grass. Breathing in, Huwang Xiao opened his mouth area and began sucking the faint blue water component true dragon essence as it slowly floated right out of the primordial divine drinking water dragon corpse, assimilating into Huwang Xiao’s body.
At first contact, an overwhelming energy rushed into every part of Huwang Xiao’s body, extremely cold! This was Huwang Xiao’s first sensation, subsequently, the coolness switched colder and colder, comparable to pieces of thousand year old ice that couldn't be melted.
As time passed, Huwang Xiao’s skin, hair, eyebrows, his entire body turned blue.
Just when Huwang Xiao felt like he could no more endure the cold, a warm energy emerged from inside his body. This warm energy source came from the primordial divine fireplace dragon true substance he had refined.
The warm energy spread, reducing the coldness inside his body, bringing an indescribably comfortable feeling.
Blue-colored light and fiery-red glow continued to blend with each other. The whole Xumi Temple shone brightly with the blue and red lamps enveloping Huwang Xiao, his figure could no longer be seen.
Similar to the time when he refined the fire dragon, Huwang Xiao had an extended dream. In the desire, he turned into a primordial divine water dragon.
Time flowed by… Huwang Xiao gradually woke up at one point.
Crystal blue light shone in his pupils as he opened up his eyes, the space around was suddenly filled up with droplets of water that converted into a little blue ocean.
Those droplets were the purest water element energy hidden in nature.
With a wave of his hand, the blue droplets gathered and turned into a blue water dragon, swimming in the blue ocean. When Huwang Xiao’s hands stopped, water dragon disintegrated and disappeared.
After refining the water dragon, Huwang Xiao discovered that water and fire actually complemented each other, like the balance between yin and yang. His dragon fact body was once more enhanced, although still remaining extremely soft.
Huwang Xiao ran his battle qi and actually tried stretching his body, extending greater than a hundred meters! No matter which part or which direction, he was able to extend his body to a certain limit.
This is something he couldn’t do before!
It also definitely wasn't something a Tenth Order Saint realm expert could do! Huwang Xiao hadn't thought that there would be such a benefit after refining the primordial divine drinking water dragon.
Other than that, his fight qi broke to Sixth Order Saint realm, a great difference from a Fifth Order Saint realm. His true essence and spiritual pressure also improved greatly.
Huwang Xiao sat down again at the guts of the Ten Buddha Formation a short while later, likely to continue refining the next primordial divine dragon.
The next one Huwang Xiao picked was the black dragon.
Among the thirteen primordial divine dragons, the black dragon was rated middle in terms of strength. He chose the black dragon next because one of his martial spirits was the dark dragon.
He believ
ed that refining the primordial divine black dragon would bring great benefits to his dark dragon martial soul. To refine this black dragon, Huwang Xiao swallowed all the rest of the nine stalks of Dragon God Lawn at one go.
The passage of time flowed by.
Multiple strands of dark dragon true essence entered Huwang Xiao’s body. What surprised Huwang Xiao this time was the actual fact that there wasn't any pain, instead, he was engulfed in an endless darkness.
One year and two months passed.
In the Eminent Holiness secret space, Huwang Peng, Su Yan, and others waited patiently for Huwang Xiao to exit his closed-door practice. Before getting into his seclusion, Huwang Xiao told them that he would probably be in seclusion for fourteen weeks this time around. Now, it had been fourteen a few months.
As Huwang Peng, Su Yan, and the rest waited for Huwang Xiao to turn out, an abrupt big tremor originated from the Eminent Holiness’ space entrance.
Everyone’s face tightened.
“What is happening?!” Huwang Peng questioned.
“Patriarch Huwang, let me go have a look.” Yu Ming mentioned respectfully. In a quick flicker, he vanished, but very soon, he came back, laden with bloody wounds.
“Yu Ming (Master)!” Huwang Peng, Fei Hou, and everyone were shocked as they hastened to Yu Ming’s side.
“Patriarch Huwang, it’s not good. This Eminent Holiness key space has been found out by others, these people are from Snow Dragon City! ” Yu Ming heaved greatly, vomiting a mouthful of blood after barely uttering the last word.
Ch.446
“Snow Dragon City! ” Everyone paled hearing that name.
Among the Bedlam Lands’ top ten forces, Snow Dragon City!
While everyone had yet to recover from their shock, an arrogant voice drummed into their ears, “I never imagined that a wonderful secret space like this would be hidden under the Broken Tiger Rift!”
In the next second, a middle-aged man clad in luxurious silver brocade robes appeared before them with four old men following closely behind him. Judging using their demeanor, the four old men were probably his personal guards.
