Invincible Over the World
Chapter 522 - 522 522 Leaving the Martial Soul World

522: Chapter 522: Leaving the Martial Soul World 522: Chapter 522: Leaving the Martial Soul World Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi did not mention who had won the first place back then, and Huang Xiaolong did not continue to ask.

However, there were still three years left before the next registration at Xuanwu Academy, and there was plenty of time, so Huang Xiaolong planned to stay and cultivate in the Martial Soul World for a while.

Huang Xiaolong strived to break through to the Holy Domain Tenth Rank Late Stage Peak before the assessment at Xuanwu Academy.

This time entering Xuanwu Academy, Huang Xiaolong’s goal was not to be among the top three, but to be the first!

The first!

The rewards for first, second, and third were completely different.

Moreover, after claiming first place, Huang Xiaolong would have some special privileges at Xuanwu Academy.

This was the reward Xuanwu Academy offered to each session’s champion.

However, having already scoured the Ghost Domain, Huang Xiaolong had set his next cultivation in the Origin Forest.

The Poison Corpse Beetles were subdued in the Origin Forest, and the Dragon Clan Relics were also located there; the Origin Forest had existed since ancient times, and deep within, there definitely existed Ancient Demon Beasts of a Half-step Divine Domain.

Three months later.

In the depths of the Origin Forest.

A gigantic crocodile, two hundred zhang long and several meters thick, fell from the sky with a big hole appearing between its eyebrows, devoid of any life force.

Huang Xiaolong floated down from mid-air and came in front of the gigantic crocodile, gently lifting the Demon Core from its body with the Shura Blade in his hand.

This giant crocodile, covered in golden scales and known as a Golden Scale Crocodile, was a demon beast with ancient bloodlines and possessed the strength of the Half-step Divine Realm Peak.

After extracting the Demon Core, Huang Xiaolong sat down cross-legged on the spot and began refining it directly.

An hour later, Huang Xiaolong had completely refined the Demon Core and stood up.

In these three months in the Origin Forest, Huang Xiaolong had killed seven Divine Domain Demon Beasts, and two of them were at the Half-step Divine Realm Peak.

As for those at the Holy Domain Tenth Rank Late Stage Peak, Huang Xiaolong was too lazy to bother with them.

With his current strength, only Demon Cores of a Half-step Divine Domain were of any use to him.

In the past few months of cultivating the Treasure Dragon Body Protection Technique, Huang Xiaolong’s Primordial Dragon Body had grown stronger by a fraction, the stronger the Primordial Dragon Body, the faster the absorption of Demon Essence Power, allowing Huang Xiaolong to refine Demon Cores much faster with the help of the Dragon Ball.

Previously, refining a Half-step Divine Domain Demon Core took three to four hours, but now it only took an hour.

Huang Xiaolong looked at the corpse of the Golden Scale Crocodile in front of him, released the Poison Corpse Beetles which had been feeding on the corpses of Half-step Divine Domain demon beasts, continuously shedding their old shells and evolving; each beetle had advanced to Holy Domain Tenth Rank.

Tens of thousands of Holy Domain Tenth Rank Poison Corpse Beetles could now easily kill a Half-step Divine Realm Peak warrior.

Four months later, Huang Xiaolong’s silhouette stopped above a lake in the depths of the Origin Forest.

By now, almost all the Divine Domain and above level demon beasts in the depths of the Origin Forest had been killed and refined by him, and it made no sense for Huang Xiaolong to stay any longer.

After a thought, Huang Xiaolong’s figure flashed, and he left the Origin Forest.

Just after returning to South Mountain Mansion, Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu reported that the Huang Family Manor had been rebuilt.

“The Huang Family Manor has been rebuilt?” Huang Xiaolong was somewhat surprised.

Initially, he had given Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu a year to rebuild the Huang Family Manor, but only ten months had passed.

Upon hearing that the Huang Family Manor had been rebuilt, Huang Peng and Su Yan were overjoyed and eager to return to the Huang Family Manor.

Seeing the joy and urgency of his parents, Huang Xiaolong couldn’t help but smile helplessly, and thus, he returned to the Huang Family Manor with his parents, brother, sister, and other members of the Huang Family.

This time, everyone rode a Holy Domain Tenth Rank Late Stage Peak flying beast, so they quickly returned to the Huang Family Manor in Luotong Kingdom.

When everyone disembarked from the flying beast and landed in front of the towering palace of the Huang Family Manor that resembled an Imperial Palace, with layers upon layers and the sounds of birds and fragrance of flowers filling the air, they were all somewhat stunned.

A moment later, they came back to their senses.

Huang Xiaolong and the others from the Huang Family walked through the grand gates of the Huang Family Manor.

The gates of the Huang Family Manor were dozens of feet high and wide enough to accommodate ten carriages side by side, matching the grandeur of the gates to the Imperial City itself—majestic and imposing.

The group walked along the streets.

They saw sporadic flowers and trees, with fragrances wafting through the air, a continuous stream of jade springs flowing between rocks, and some temple courtyards with columns carved to lifelike perfection and inlaid with gemstones, exuding richness yet a cozy warmth.

The original buildings of the Huang Family Manor had not been demolished but renovated and redecorated.

Huang Xiaolong nodded to himself in approval.

Huang Peng, Su Yan, and others naturally loved it endlessly.

“You have done well,” Huang Xiaolong turned to Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu behind him and said.

Upon hearing Huang Xiaolong’s praise, Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Over the past ten months, they had exhausted all their efforts in rebuilding the Huang Family Manor and, after its completion, they had been constantly worried about whether the Sect Leader and the others from the Huang Family would be satisfied.

Now that the Huang Family Manor was finally rebuilt, the next task was selecting guards and maids.

In addition to the guards and maids who had followed the members of the Huang Family previously, Huang Xiaolong selected all other guards and maids from among those with strength above the Tenth Rank of Holy Domain, safeguarding every corner of the Huang Family Manor.

No more, no less, a total of three hundred strong warriors above the Tenth Rank of Holy Domain.

Since Huang Xiaolong planned to leave the Martial Soul World in the future, it was only natural that the protective forces of the Huang Family Manor needed to be extremely strong.

Ultimately, Huang Xiaolong invoked the Maha Ghost Flag above the Huang Family Manor, enveloping the entire manor and the mountains behind it.

Huang Xiaolong released over fifty ghosts of Late Stage Tenth Rank Peak from the Ghost Domain that he had subdued, guarding them at the center of the Array Eye of the Maha Ghost Flag.

In the future, with these fifty-plus ghosts of Late Stage Peak and three hundred strong warriors of Tenth Rank and above, even a powerful warrior from the Divine Domain would be repelled.

Of course, although the Maha Ghost Flag was cast above the Huang Family Manor, it merged into the depths of space, making it invisible unless one activated the Ghost Flag.

Thus, everything about the Huang Family Manor and the mountains behind it remained indistinguishable from any other place, unseen even by warriors of the Divine Domain.

With the Huang Family Manor rebuilt, Huang Xiaolong hosted a grand feast for all.

Subsequently, Huang Xiaolong spent a quiet and blissful two months with his family at the Huang Family Manor.

The moonlight was clear and bright.

Huang Xiaolong stood on top of the mountain behind the Huang Family Manor, looking at the rolling waves ahead while Shi Xiaofei stood beside him, silently admiring Huang Xiaolong without a word.

She knew that Huang Xiaolong had decided to leave the Martial Soul World tomorrow.

These two months, she had stayed at the Huang Family Manor, the happiest two months of her life.

“Brother Huang, do you really intend to enroll at the Xuanwu Academy?” After a long time, Shi Xiaofei finally spoke.

Huang Xiaolong nodded, reached out, and firmly held Shi Xiaofei’s hand.

Although there were still more than two years until the enrollment at the Xuanwu Academy, if he continued to stay in the Martial Soul World, it would be difficult for Huang Xiaolong to breakthrough to the Late Stage Peak of Tenth Rank before enrolling at the academy.

He estimated that he would need to refine at least a hundred Half-step Divine Domain Demon Pills to breakthrough to the Late Stage Peak of Tenth Rank.

However, the Martial Soul World did not have that many Half-step Divine Domain demon beasts.

Therefore, Huang Xiaolong could only leave early.
