“Still, even if the Ascending Moon Old Man is no longer around, there should be his successor.” Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi solemnly said.
Huwang Xiao’s dimmed eye brightened once again, “You know where the Ascending Moon Old Man’s cultivation cave is located?”
Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi nodded, “The Ascending Moon Old Man used to cultivate in the Wintry North World.
“Wintry North World!” Huwang Xiao was as surprised as he sounded, wasn’t that where Shi Xiaofei adopted her Get better at, Crazy Lady Yang Yi, to cultivate? What a coincidence!
Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi laughed at Huwang Xiao’s reaction, “Coincidentally, your woman is cultivating in the Wintry North World. Since you’ve already broken through to peak late-Fifth Order God World, and taking that step in to the Sixth Order won’t happen in a year or two, why don’t you take this chance to go have a look, and visit your woman as well.”
Huwang Xiao nodded, however, hearing ‘your woman’ in every sentence from the old dragon’s mouth area packed Huwang Xiao’s forehead with black lines. Yet, when Shi Xiaofei’s sensitive face appeared in his mind, a touch of gentleness could be recognized in his eyes.
‘Xiaofei’s Moon Summoning Rhyme should have progressed to the later parts of the first stage…’ Huwang Xiao estimated to himself.
In the blink of an eye, seven to eight years had passed because the day Shi Xiaofei still left for the Wintry North World to cultivate.
At that right time, Crazy Woman Yang Yi had mentioned that with Shi Xiaofei’s skill, it wouldn’t take her more than thirty years to cultivate the Moon Summoning Rhyme before third stage. After she reached the 3rd stage, her Pure Luminance Enlightened Buddha Entire body would be awakened.
When Huwang Xiao was talking with his parents about attempting to make a trip to the Wintry North World, telling them that he'd be from the Golden Dragon Maximum for a period of time, Zhao Shu entered to report that there was someone named Li Ming is outdoors, wanting to pay a visit.
“Li Ming?” Huwang Xiao’s eye glimmered. Although he rarely ventured out of the Golden Dragon Top, he was still quite informed about the top notch disciples residing around the Red Flood Mountain Range from Yang Feiyue and his group.
Among the Great Five elite disciples, apart from Long Junze, the others had formed their own organizations like Jiang Yu do with the All Dragons Group. Gudu Jiu established the Angels Corp, Wang Xiaomei started the Great Thousand Doctrine, and last but not least, Pan Haicheng acquired the Pan Tiger Society.
This Li Ming was the Pan Tiger Society’s second in command, Pan Haicheng’s left and right-hand man, possessing a strength only marginally weaker than Pan Haicheng himself. A late-Sixth Order God Realm, infinitely close to advancing to peak late-Sixth Order God Realm.
“Invite him in.” Huwang Xiao pondered somewhat before stating to Zhao Shu.
“Yes, Sovereign!” Zhao Shu respectfully complied and backed out. Shortly after, he returned, leading a brawny young man that exuded a razor-sharp and violent aura from head to toe.
Following behind Zhao Shu, Li Ming’s gaze fell on Huwang Xiao just as Huwang Xiao was seizing him up. An invisible energy wave began to spread outward as their gazes collided, a cold gleam flickered in the depths of Li Ming’s eyes.
Holding the gaze no more than a split second, both men shifted their gazes away while Li Ming uncouthly slumped himself into a chair, “Huwang Xiao, our Society Chief wants to see you, come with me to the Pan’s Tiger Peak now.” Lofty and condescending.
Needlessly to say, he was someone sent by Skillet Haicheng.
Hearing the clear commanding tone coming out from the other side, a menacing curve raised the edges of Huwang Xiao’s lips, “And easily don’t go?”
A nasty chuckle sounded from Li Ming, “Huwang Xiao, I admit that your strength is not bad, that even those trash like Lin Tong, Ceng Leng, and the others from All Dragons Little league aren’t your opponents. However, my advice is, you’d do easier to follow me to the Pan’s Tiger Peak. A person that our Society Chief desires to see, no one has dared to refuse a second time!” Before this, Pan Haicheng had delivered someone over once to request Huwang Xiao.
Finishing his well-intentioned words, the sharp, violent aura from his body erupted.
Predicated on his identity, even the other four of the fantastic Five elite disciples would interact politely with him, but this Huwang Xiao actually sent a peak half-God Realm slave to invite him in!
He had never been so despised!
Exactly at this time, a silhouette flickered, accompanied by a whelming energy sweeping at him. Li Ming was greatly alarmed, slightly panicking, he was about to leap back order to dodge, but he had been delivered traveling into the air.
Together with the chair he was sitting on, they were sent flying quite a distance away. A few breaths later, a muffled boom was heard.
Li Ming’s mouth opened, spewing large mouthfuls of blood as he clutched at his chest. Taking a look at Huwang Xiao, there is anger as well as dread in his eye.
Huwang Xiao scoffed after glancing at the blood red handprint on Li Ming’s chest, taking slow steps toward him.
“Huwang Xiao, you’re shameless! Actually using a sneak attack!” Li Ming wobbled as he attempted to stand on his feet, a quivering finger pointing at Huwang Xiao’s face in anger. His eyes turned red with fury.
Huwang Xiao snickered, “Sneak assault?” He vanished in a flicker again, reappearing right in front of Li Ming along with his right hands elevated up, and pa! A resounding slap linked with Li Ming’s face.
Li Ming was sent soaring another time. Landing on the ground, he rolled all the way to the hall doors.
“Do I even need to sneak strike to deal with you?” Huwang Xiao scoffed as he strode toward Li Ming.
Li Ming thought a fiery pain in his right cheek. Although he didn't know what the right part of his face looked like now, he was lifeless sure it was swollen. Amidst his fear, other negative feelings surged up in Li Ming’s heart: humiliation, wrath, and crazy killing intention that pierced the sky.
Nobody had the guts to treat him this way!
Never ever!
“Huwang Xiao, I’m heading to kill you!” Li Ming stood up with mad scarlet eye as his momentum hurry up in crazy acceleration.
“Heaven Central’s Great Law Mighty God Palm!” Li Ming hollered as he lunged toward Huwang Xiao with both palms facing out. Golden palm imprints shot out, shattering the space, tilting heaven and earth, lighting up the whole hall with a blinding light.
Huwang Xiao was coldly indifferent, a thousand arms fanned out at his back and his two hands met Li Ming’s attack head-on.
Golden light exploded in the air, obscuring everything.
A second later, Li Ming was sent traveling out from the main hall doors, completely until he was out from the Nine Halls Bagua Formation, stuck to the bottom like a dead dog.
Poof!
Li Ming was coughing up bloodstream again and again, the light in his eyes dimmed, filled up with dread and apprehension facing Huwang Xiao.
“No, this cannot be!”
Cannot be! He was a late-Sixth Order God World that was near to advancing to peak late-Sixth Order God Realm. Even facing anybody of the Great Five elite disciples, he wouldn’t lose so uglily, so thoroughly!
Huwang Xiao was but a Fifth Order God World! Recently promoted to the rates of top notch disciples!
Huwang Xiao had already stopped before him, viewing him with cold indifference as he lifted his feet and kicked down. Frigid Asura Qi seeped into Li Ming’s body through Huwang Xiao’s foot, together with the noises of breaking bones and Li Ming’s blood-curdling scream.
“To me, you’re no different from the All Dragons League’s Lin Tong, Ceng Leng, or any of those trash.” Huwang Xiao said icily.
“Huwang Xiao, you will regret this!” Li Ming spat out with his feeble voice, burning hatred could be seen from his eye.
“Is that so?” Another kicked went down.
> Another tragic wail escape Li Ming’s throat.
“Scram back again and tell your get good at that if he wants to see me personally, he should come himself.” Huwang Xiao delivered Li Ming flying out with another kick, “Get lost now!”
Ch.629
Li Ming wailed in pain as his body shot away several li after struggling another kick from Huwang Xiao. Pursuing that, his body rolled all the way right down to the Golden Dragon Maximum’s foothills.
Huwang Xiao issued a chilly snort as he watched Li Ming rolling completely down to the bottom of the hill before turning around and returning to the palace, no more sparing the ‘guest’ another thought. Inside, he once more brought up the subject of his trip to the Wintry North World to his parents.
Before leaving, Huwang Xiao reminded the Huwang Family never to leave the Golden Dragon Top while he was away, and wait for his go back to deal with the troubles.
With the Ten Killing Swords Formation, the Palace of Nine Halls Bagua Trigrams Formation, as well as the pack of demonic beasts, the Golden Dragon Peak was an impregnable fortress. Even without him there, he needn’t be concerned about their safety.
Huwang Xiao also tasked Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu with some matters before departing under the Huwang Family people’ gazes. Leaving the Golden Dragon Peak, Huwang Xiao headed right to the transmitting array on the North Star Square.
Not long after Huwang Xiao departed from the Golden Dragon Peak, Li Ming, who fainted from rolling all the way down from mid-mountain height, gradually regained his conscious. Acute pain coursed through his body as if every bone in his body was damaged by Huwang Xiao.
“Huwang Xiao! I swear I’ll definitely destroy you!” Recalling the previous humiliating scenes, Li Ming’s eyes suffused with an icy eliminating purpose, animosity hollered such as a violent storm in his center. Enduring the severe pain, it was an enormous effort for Li Ming to stand on his ft, wobbling and stumbling as he flew back again to the Skillet’s Tiger Maximum. Several times on the journey, he nearly plummeted to the ground from midair.
In the Pan’s Tiger Peak great hall, Pan Haicheng’s expression was especially gloomy taking a look at the person position before him in a torn dirty robe, with a mud-stained face and a glaring red hand print on his upper body. Smeared bloodstains were still apparent on Li Ming’s face.
Li Ming spoke through gritted teeth, “Main, that Huwang Xiao is preposterous! He’s flaunting his Institute Principal’s personal disciple identity, not putting us in his eye. I invited him with proper courtesy, yet that Huwang Xiao dared to state that if Key desires to see him, you are to go over there individually. Moreover, it could depend on his feeling whether he would see you or not. I used to be enraged hearing him disrespect Chief, and uttered a sentence to reprimand him, but who understood he’d be so shameless as to make a sneak assault on me, wounding me to this extent!”
A dark cruel light gleamed in Skillet Haicheng’s pupils, “That Huwang Xiao really said that?!”
“It is so.” Hatred shone in Li Ming’s eyes, adding, “If it wasn’t because I managed to escape in time, my Qi Sea would have been shattered, and my meridians crippled, maybe even killed. He also said, what Great Five elite disciples, in his eye, they amount to nothing!”
A murderous light seeped into Pan Haicheng’s eyes, his hands slowly clenched into fists with green veins popping up underneath the skin, “Is that Huwang Xiao still on the Golden Dragon Top?”
Li Ming replied, “No, on the way back here, I heard other Skillet Tiger Society disciples mention that Huwang Xiao has left the Golden Dragon Peak and is going toward the North Celebrity Square’s transmission array, seemingly leaving the Dark Warrior Institute.”
A scheming little grin emerged on Pan Haicheng’s face, “If it’s like that, we’ll send him a huge gift!”
Li Ming was baffled, “Big gift?”
Pan Haicheng sneered coldly, “The Jiang Family, Vice-Principal Wang Na, and those people from the Azure Dragon Institute are just looking forward to him to leave the Black Warrior Institute. Let’s go, include me to Vice-Principal Wang Na’s manor, I believe she’ll be happy receiving this little bit of news, she won’t skimp out on our benefits!” He stood up as he was saying that.
“It’s just a pity that we’re unable to kill him personally!” Li Ming muttered, not concealing the hate whirling in his eye.
Walking from the great hall, Pan Haicheng said offhandedly, “Once that Huwang Xiao is dead, the Huwang Family’s fate will be up to you to decide. At that time, you can play to your heart’s content.”
Li Ming’s pupils darkened, “Yes, Chief is right. Today’s humiliation will be returned one thousand fold on the Huwang Family!”
Both men remaining the Pan’s Tiger Peak, speeding off toward Vice-Principal Wang Na’s manor.
Wang Na’s eyes shone brightly when she heard the news headlines, generously praising, “You both have done very well.” Two spatial bands hovered in front of Skillet Haicheng and Li Ming with a casual wave of her hand: “This is to reward you two.”
Seeing the inside of the spatial rings, which were filled with numerous elixirs and Xuanwu cash, both Pan Haicheng and Li Ming were delighted, thanking Wang Na profusely.
Wang Na nodded, accepting the two disciples’ gratitude without qualms, and excused them away before turning to Grand Elder Liu Yu at her aspect, stating, “Inform the Azure Dragon Institute about Huwang Xiao departing the Dark Warrior Institute. Remember to tell them we want half of the Hailstone Treasure, and also the historic treasures on Huwang Xiao, such as the Innumerable Fortune Kasaya, we wish fifteen items!”
Liu Yung complied, getting to his feet, then he flew away at rapid swiftness.
On another side, after arriving at the North Star Square, Huwang Xiao was transported to the Black Warrior City via the transmission array. Once out, he didn't dally around, taking several consecutive transmitting arrays until he reached northern side of the galaxy in a place called Tanggu World.
Due to the lack of transmission arrays in the Wintry North World, Huwang Xiao could only be transported to the closest transmitting array in the Tanggu World. From thereon, he needed to rely on himself to reach the Wintry North World-by soaring.
Despite the so-called close distance between the Tanggu World and Wintry North World, predicated on Huwang Xiao’s current flying quickness, it would take him at least per month to attain his destination.
The vast, boundless, and empty space, where anything seemed remote from everything else, gave a feeling of tranquility from its deep silence.
Huwang Xiao’s silhouette glided through the dark boundless space like a flickering bright star.
Spreading out his spiritual sense to the limit, he continuously absorbed the scarce lightning force hidden within the deep void.
“This lightning force is really good stuff.” Feeling the effect after a while, Huwang Xiao couldn’t resist commenting, “If it weren’t for the Highgod Advancement Tournament two hundred years later, I would really consider cultivating in this vast space for several hundred years, absorbing this lightning power.”
This lightning force could purify and strengthen his soul, but his most pressing concern was to improve his strength and cultivation.
Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi spoke, “The more powerful your soul is, the smoother your discovery to Highgod Realm will be. By putting all your effort and concentrate on increasing your strength and cultivation like you do now, it indirectly becomes a hindrance to your future breakthrough, greatly increasing its difficulty.”
Huwang Xiao was astonished, “Advancing to Highgod Realm is connected to one’s spirit?”
Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi nodded, explaining, “Yes, the stronger your soul is, the easier it is for you to form your Godhead. The more powerful and purer your spirit is, the stronger the Godhead you’ll have the ability to form would be. A Godhead is the fundamental existence of a God, the better your foundation is, the higher you can reach. I’ve never told you this before because
your realm was still too low, there was no point in letting you know too much. But now, you’re already a peak late-Fifth Order God World, it’s time you pay attention to these points.”
Huwang Xiao was shocked by this revelation. It had never crossed his brain that the soul’s clarity would play such a crucial part in improving to the Highgod Realm.
But, why didn’t his Get good at Feng Yang mention anything about this to him either? Perhaps, like Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi, he also thought that his world was too low and that he temporarily needn’t know this? Huwang Xiao’s disposition turned sulky thinking about this.
“Old Dragon, then how is the strength and clarity of my soul?” Huwang Xiao urged.
Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi hesitated slightly, “Because you cultivated in the Ancient Puppetry Artwork and Soul Mandate, your soul is far more powerful than most same order masters, but it is a million miles away from reaching the level of a Highgod World professional. As for the clearness of your spirit, that’s even further from being ideal.”
The more Huwang Xiao heard, the deeper the furrows on his brows became.
Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi continued, “Still, you need not dwell too much on this, wait around until you’re a Tenth Order God Realm and won the first place in the Highgod Advancement Competition.”
Huwang Xiao nodded.
He continued to fly in space for another two days.
“These gentlemen had been following me for so long, are you planning to keep subsequent?” Huwang Xiao’s gaze swept around him, yawning as he spoke.
The atmosphere around him appeared to have grown heavier for a few breaths’ time, then a bright light flashed as three people appeared before Huwang Xiao.
“People of Azure Dragon Institute.” Viewing the three newcomers, Huwang Xiao’s eye narrowed. Among the three people, two of them were clad in the Azure Dragon Institute’s Elder robes, as the third one, standing in front of both, was wearing the Azure Dragon Institute’s Grand Elder robe. Huwang Xiao recognized this person, he was one of the six people he fulfilled inside the Hailstone Treasure space.
