Invincible Over the World
Chapter 726 - 726 723 Refining the Black Lotus

726: Chapter 723: Refining the Black Lotus 726: Chapter 723: Refining the Black Lotus Elder Sheng Yue had gained not even a trifle at Heavenly God Mountain, and this was no lie.

Although at Heavenly God Mountain, he and Yang Yi did come across many Spiritual Medicines and Exotic Fruits, given their discerning eyes, ordinary Spiritual Medicines and Exotic Fruits were naturally beneath their notice.

Thus, the two of them ended up gaining nothing.

Upon returning to Pill King City, Elder Sheng Yue, citing Huang Xiaolong’s discovery of the Heavenly God Blood Pool and acquisition of the two-million-year Black Lotus, dragged Huang Xiaolong to Pill King Tower, saying they should celebrate properly.

Huang Xiaolong was speechless.

However, this indeed was worth celebrating, even more joyous than when he had won first place in the Pill King Contest years ago.

Naturally, in the end, it was Huang Xiaolong who footed the bill.

After the celebration, leaving the Pill King Tower, Huang Xiaolong, worried about the safety of everyone at Huang Family Manor, did not continue to stay in Pill King City and headed straight back to the Martial Soul World.

After all, the temptation of a two-million-year Black Lotus was too great.

With the news of his acquisition spreading, some powerful forces might threaten the safety of the Huang Family to get the Black Lotus.

By the time Huang Xiaolong rushed back to the Martial Soul World and saw that everyone in the Martial Soul World and at Huang Family Manor was safe, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed.

Upon returning to the Martial Soul World, Huang Xiaolong chose to seclude himself, starting to consume and refine the two-million-year Black Lotus.

The trip to Heavenly God Mountain had made Huang Xiaolong realize that his strength was still somewhat lacking.

If he could break through to the Divine Domain Tenth Stage, even if only to the Early Stage Tenth Order, then, should he encounter that Black Prison Demon Dragon at the Divine Domain Late Stage Peak Tenth Order again, Huang Xiaolong could defeat it!

Even faced with a Divine-level First Stage strong person like Tao Gu, Huang Xiaolong would not be afraid.

Therefore, he must advance to the Tenth Order as soon as possible.

Elder Sheng Yue and Yang Yi also stayed at Huang Family Manor, acting as Huang Xiaolong’s protectors.

Originally, the Black Lotus had twenty-three petals, and Huang Xiaolong planned to give one petal each to Elder Sheng Yue, Yang Yi, Shi Xiaofei, and the people of the Huang Family.

However, Elder Sheng Yue, Yang Yi, Shi Xiaofei, and the others adamantly refused.

Because a Supreme Spiritual Medicine like the two-million-year Black Lotus, completely consumed and refined, produced the best medicinal effects; if divided, the effectiveness would be greatly reduced.

Now, it was most important for Huang Xiaolong to enhance his strength.

Seeing the adamant refusal of everyone, Huang Xiaolong could only consume and refine the entire Black Lotus by himself.

Sitting cross-legged inside the Sumeru Divine Palace, black mist surged around Huang Xiaolong.

Thin streams of black light continuously refracted from Huang Xiaolong’s body.

Beneath Huang Xiaolong, masses of black qi floated, and from a distance, Huang Xiaolong resembled someone seated atop a Black Lotus.

Day after day.

Day by day.

Soon, a year passed.

Even with Huang Xiaolong’s Primordial Dragon Body and Void Spirit Body, he still couldn’t completely refine the medicinal power of the two-million-year Black Lotus after a year.

Furthermore, a year later, Huang Xiaolong was completely enveloped by black qi.

Inside the Sumeru Divine Palace, it resembled a Dark Hell.

Within this Dark Hell, Buddha Light and Innate Dragon Energy continuously shone through.

Huang Xiaolong’s strength was changing every day, improving day by day.

Soon, Huang Xiaolong, originally at the Divine Domain Ninth Stage Early Stage, reached the Ninth-stage Early-stage Peak.

Five years passed.

The dark energy that enveloped Huang Xiaolong finally ceased its turmoil, no longer expanding outward but slowly retracting into Huang Xiaolong’s body.

Thus, three more years passed.

All the dark energy was retracted into Huang Xiaolong’s body and disappeared.

In those eight years, the 2.3-million-year-old Black Lotus had been completely refined by Huang Xiaolong.

And Huang Xiaolong had reached the Divine Domain Ninth Stage Middle Stage, nearing the Mid Stage Peak.

However, after completely refining the power of the Black Lotus Spiritual Medicine, Huang Xiaolong didn’t stop his cultivation.

Sitting cross-legged in the Sumeru Divine Palace, Huang Xiaolong entered the Void Spirit State, his soul becoming one with the entire Sumeru Divine Palace, the surrounding space, and even the universe beyond the palace.

Huang Xiaolong felt as if he were the Sumeru Divine Mountain, as if he were the very heaven and earth.

Initially, every detail of the Sumeru Divine Mountain was vividly imprinted into the Soul Sea within Huang Xiaolong’s mind.

Then, it was every blade of grass and every speck of dust outside the Sumeru Divine Mountain.

Huang Xiaolong could even clearly see the trajectory of each dust particle, the life changes of every being, how sprouts break through the soil, how they thrive, and how they grow into towering trees.

Year after year.

Huang Xiaolong’s body shimmered with a bright light.

The Soul Sea was undergoing continuous transformation, sparkling with the dazzling light of pure diamonds.

Initially, Huang Xiaolong could clearly feel all the changes within a radius of ten thousand miles.

Later, this range kept expanding until he could clearly see every change within a radius of a hundred thousand miles.

Xuanwu Star Power continuously cascaded from the depths of the Star River Void, pouring into Huang Xiaolong’s body, refining and molding every corner of his Primordial Dragon Body.

Time passed indeterminably.

Suddenly, Huang Xiaolong woke up and opened his eyes.

“What is this?!” Huang Xiaolong exclaimed.

After opening his eyes, he realized they seemed to have the ability to see through barriers, as he could clearly view everything beyond the Sumeru Divine Mountain.

Looking inward with his Divine Sense, Huang Xiaolong was stunned yet disbelieving as he realized he had broken through to the Divine Domain Ninth Stage Late Stage Peak!

Moreover, his soul was not only completely pure but had reached the clarity of diamonds, emitting a diamond-like radiance.

Huang Xiaolong remembered Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi had said that his soul had reached the level of diamond clarity when he successfully condensed his Divine status.

Did that mean if he were to condense his Divine status now, it would be at least Level Seven?

Besides the transformation in soul and strength, Huang Xiaolong could feel that his Primordial Dragon Body, having absorbed and refined the Black Lotus and undergone another round of tempering by Xuanwu Star Power, had further strengthened in both defense and power.

Now, Huang Xiaolong didn’t even know to what extent his Primordial Dragon Body had become abnormal.

But among the Four Great Star Rivers, below the Divine level, if anyone talked about the strength of the physical body, if he claimed to be second, probably no one would dare claim first.

“I wonder how my parents and the others are doing?” After a while, Huang Xiaolong reined in his astonishment and left the Sumeru Divine Palace, heading outside the Huang Family Manor.

“Damn it all, kid, you finally decided to come out.

If you hadn’t come out soon, my old bones would have withered away,” the moment Huang Xiaolong emerged, a figure flashed, and Elder Sheng Yue appeared in front of him.

However, following that, Elder Sheng Yue stared at Huang Xiaolong as if seeing a monstrous creature that had just come into existence, his beard quivering, his expression extremely exaggerated, and then he screamed, “Damn it, Divine Domain Ninth Stage Late Stage Peak!”

Elder Sheng Yue’s scream drew over everyone from the Huang Family Manor.

Huang Xiaolong, seeing Elder Sheng Yue’s exaggerated screaming, was speechless.

But aside from saying “Damn it all,” where did this old man learn to say “Damn it”?

“Look, old man, it’s just the Divine Domain Ninth Stage Late Stage Peak.

You’re making too much of a fuss, aren’t you?” Huang Xiaolong raised his eyebrows and said.
