Invincible Over the World
Chapter 233 - 233 233 Return to Broken Blade Imperial City

233: Chapter 233: Return to Broken Blade Imperial City 233: Chapter 233: Return to Broken Blade Imperial City Huang Xiaolong had just left using Space Concealment, and as Han Fei fell to the ground, a figure broke through the air and arrived.

“Who dares to cause trouble in my Chen Mansion!”

The newcomer was an octogenarian in a dark purple brocade robe, his eyes a bright green, none other than the Chen Mansion’s head steward, Jiang Rong.

As Jiang Rong landed, he saw Chen Dingyuan and Han Fei lying in a pool of blood, his face changing dramatically with shock.

“Young Master Dingyuan!” he hurried over to Chen Dingyuan, calling out.

It wasn’t long before the entire Chen Mansion was in an uproar, and thousands of skilled experts swarmed the place.

Meanwhile, Huang Xiaolong had long since left the Chen Mansion and was heading toward the city gates of Jia Bei City.

By the time Huang Xiaolong reached the gates of Jia Bei City, they were already sealed.

Looking at the sealed gates of Jia Bei City, Huang Xiaolong let out a cold smile, went to a deserted alley, and vanished into thin air, only to reappear within the great hall inside Sumeru Divine Mountain.

He activated the Ten Buddha Formation, shrinking the Sumeru Divine Mountain to a speck of dust.

Huang Xiaolong controlled the Sumeru Divine Mountain as it flew over Jia Bei City, quickly leaving the city behind.

Of course, Huang Xiaolong could have shown the Imperial Duke Order given to him by Ma Bo or the Heavenly Buddha Token from Shi Fantian and left Jia Bei City safely, but doing so would be too conspicuous.

Having decided to leave the Heavenly Buddha Empire, Huang Xiaolong didn’t want any additional trouble.

After leaving Jia Bei City, Huang Xiaolong controlled the Sumeru Divine Mountain and flew south for two hours before stopping.

After two hours, Huang Xiaolong, having activated the Ten Buddha Formation and controlled the Sumeru Divine Mountain, had nearly depleted his Fighting Energy.

Huang Xiaolong’s breakthrough to the Innate Fourth Stage meant his Fighting Energy and Inner Strength were comparable to a Fifth-stage Expert, but he could only control the Sumeru Divine Mountain for two hours, which illustrated the terrifying consumption of Fighting Energy from activating the Ten Buddha Formation.

After stopping, Huang Xiaolong went to a side hall to consume a drop of Earth Core Buddha Milk, all the while cultivating the Sumeru Divine Skill and restoring his Fighting Energy and Inner Strength.

A day later, Huang Xiaolong ceased his cultivation, his Fighting Energy and Inner Strength fully restored.

“I wonder how long I can fly using a First-grade Spiritual Stone to activate the Ten Buddha Formation and control the Sumeru Divine Mountain,” Huang Xiaolong thought to himself.

He then took out a First-grade Spiritual Stone from the Asura Ring.

During the battle in the Imperial City, Huang Xiaolong had been rewarded with twenty First-grade Spiritual Stones, all of which he had kept within the Asura Ring.

After taking out a First-grade Spiritual Stone, Huang Xiaolong flicked it into the Ten Buddha Formation.

Instantly, Spiritual Energy surged out from within the stone, and the Ten Buddha Formation glowed, activating on its own.

The Sumeru Divine Mountain began to break through the air automatically.

Two days passed before the First-grade Spiritual Stone embedded in the Ten Buddha Formation exploded and vanished.

Huang Xiaolong frowned while cultivating the Sumeru Divine Skill within the Ten Buddha Formation; a single First-grade Spiritual Stone had only allowed the Sumeru Divine Mountain to fly for two days.

First-grade Spiritual Stones were exceedingly rare.

If auctioned in the marketplace, not even ten million might secure one, making the consumption too great.

However, since the Sumeru Divine Mountain had integrated the Exquisite Treasure Tower, God Capturing Ring, and Soul-breaking Pearl, three exotic treasures, Huang Xiaolong discovered that while he cultivated the Sumeru Divine Skill within the Ten Buddha Formation, the Flame Dragon Qi from the Exquisite Treasure Tower, Ancient Divine Spirit Qi from the God Capturing Ring, and soul energy from the Soul-breaking Pearl also tempered his body simultaneously.

With the Buddha Power, Flame Dragon Qi, Ancient Divine Spirit Qi, and soul energy—the Four Great Spiritual Energy Tempering Body—Huang Xiaolong’s cultivation speed increased significantly, with clear progress in strength every day.

Under the tempering of the Four Great Spiritual Energies, Huang Xiaolong’s body defense and strength grew stronger by the day.

Now, even an Innate Fifth Stage Early Stage expert’s body defense and strength were no match for Huang Xiaolong’s.

Thus, Huang Xiaolong continued to travel while cultivating.

Soon, he left the Heavenly Buddha Empire and headed back to the Broken Blade Empire.

Although the Sumeru Divine Mountain was fast, it was a great energy consumer, so Huang Xiaolong didn’t activate it under normal circumstances.

Huang Xiaolong estimated his journey, deciding to propel the Sumeru Divine Mountain using a First-grade Spiritual Stone every four days.

Although First-grade Spirit Stones are rare, using them to propel the Sumeru Divine Mountain for automatic flight allowed Huang Xiaolong to cultivate within the Ten Buddha Formation without delaying either his cultivation or his journey.

When he finally returned to the Broken Blade Empire, he would worry about replenishing the spent First-grade Spirit Stones.

Four months passed.

Huang Xiaolong hastened his journey and finally returned to the Broken Blade Empire.

However, after breaking through to the Innate Fourth Stage, the increase in Huang Xiaolong’s Fighting Energy strength was somewhat slower than before.

Nonetheless, after four months, he still reached the Peak of Innate Fourth Stage Late Stage, just half a step away from advancing to the Fifth Stage.

Upon returning to the Broken Blade Empire, as Huang Xiaolong had estimated, twenty First-grade Spirit Stones were completely used up.

After rushing back to the Broken Blade Empire, it took another ten days for Huang Xiaolong to return to Broken Blade Imperial City.

Standing before the city gates of Broken Blade Imperial City, Huang Xiaolong was flooded with an indescribable emotion.

This feeling was akin to the one he had had when leaving Huang Family Manor and returning from Luotong Kingdom Royal City back to Huang Family Manor.

Huang Xiaolong took a deep breath and stepped into the city gates of Broken Blade Imperial City.

Broken Blade Imperial City was as bustling as when Huang Xiaolong had left over a year ago, with streams of people and a constant flow of carriages and horses.

“In a few days, it will be the joyous wedding day between the Guo Family and the Huang Family.

I heard that for this grand wedding, over a thousand Kingdoms and royal families of the Broken Blade Empire have all sent envoys or princes to offer their congratulations!”

“Not just that!

I heard that on the day of the Guo Family and Huang Family’s wedding, Emperor Duanren himself might attend the ceremony!”

“What exactly is Huang Xiaolong’s status?

And what’s the relationship between Zhao Shu and Emperor Duanren?”

“Who knows?

But I heard that Huang Xiaolong is currently not in Broken Blade Imperial City.”

Hearing the discussions of the passersby on the street, Huang Xiaolong walked by.

The day of his sister Huang Min’s wedding to Guo Tai was in three days’ time.

With the Huang Family and Guo Family’s grand wedding, many streets of Broken Blade Imperial City were adorned with colorful lanterns and an air of festivity.

Overhearing a young man saying that Huang Xiaolong was not in Broken Blade Imperial City, Huang Xiaolong couldn’t help but laugh and ask, “Little brother, where did you hear that Huang Xiaolong isn’t in Broken Blade Imperial City now?”

The young man turned around at these words, gave Huang Xiaolong a once-over, and replied with a smile, “Little brother?

You don’t seem to be any older than me.

I have a buddy who’s currently a guard at Huang Mansion, so of course I know.

I bet you’ve come along with your family elders to congratulate the Huang Family, right?”

Huang Xiaolong was taken aback, then smiled without revealing his identity.

By the looks of it, this young man seemed to have come from a lower kingdom and did not recognize him.

Seeing that Huang Xiaolong didn’t respond, the young man assumed his assumption was correct and laughed, “Is this your first time in Broken Blade Imperial City?”

Just then, suddenly, there was a commotion in the crowd behind them, and exclamations arose one after another.

Turning to look, Huang Xiaolong and the young man saw a group of people riding horses and charging quickly in their direction.

The young man’s face changed, “It’s people from the Tie Family!”

“Tie Family?” Huang Xiaolong looked puzzled.

“The Tie Family is also related to the Guo Family by marriage.

Guo Shiwen, the current Family Head of the Guo Family, has a sister, Guo Xiaoqing, who is married to Tie Fang, the Family Head of the Tie Family!” The young man quickly explained.
