Invincible Over the World
Chapter 727 - 727 724 Searching for Vermilion Bird Divine Fire

727: Chapter 724: Searching for Vermilion Bird Divine Fire 727: Chapter 724: Searching for Vermilion Bird Divine Fire As soon as Elder Sheng Yue heard this, he jumped up like an old cat who had its tail stepped on and, pointing at Huang Xiaolong, shouted, “What did you just say?

Just at the Divine Domain Ninth Stage Late Stage Peak?

Do you know how long you have been in seclusion this time?

Just over forty years!

Over forty years to go from the Divine Domain Ninth Rank Early Stage to the Divine Domain Ninth Stage Late Stage Peak!

And you think that’s nothing to make a fuss over?!”

“Do you know how long it took me to break through from the Divine Domain Ninth Rank Early Stage to the Divine Domain Ninth Stage Late Stage Peak when I was young?

It took more than two hundred years!

And now you’re telling me that I, and all the other geniuses of the Star River, have lived our lives for nothing?!”

Elder Sheng Yue’s voice was thunderous, becoming more and more excited as he spoke.

Huang Xiaolong’s ears were buzzing a little from the booming voice.

Looking at the extremely agitated Old Man Sheng Yue, Huang Xiaolong felt a bit stifled, thinking that if there were any fruit trees around, there would be no need to pick them, because they would have fallen down, shaken off by Old Man Sheng Yue’s roaring voice.

It was then that Huang Xiaolong realized that his seclusion had actually lasted for over forty years.

This was the first time Huang Xiaolong had been in seclusion for so long since he came into this world.

“Over forty years, not bad,” Huang Xiaolong thought to himself.

After calculating the time, there are still over a hundred years until the Divine Rank Competition, right?

A hundred years, well, even if he couldn’t break through to the Divine Level, reaching the Divine Domain Tenth Stage Late Stage Perfect, or at least the Tenth Rank Late Stage shouldn’t be a problem.

Huang Xiaolong felt that within ten years, he would definitely break through to the Divine Domain Tenth Stage.

Even if there were no fortunate encounters, just by absorbing the Xuanwu Star Power for cultivation, he could break through.

Since Xiang Mingzhi had the Green Dragon Divine Fire and no realm barriers, then having the Xuanwu Divine Fire, he faced no realm barriers as well.

This was proven true as he had faced no obstacles in his breakthroughs since acquiring the Xuanwu Divine Fire.

While Huang Xiaolong was thinking about the Divine Rank Competition, he didn’t hear clearly what Elder Sheng Yue was going on about afterwards.

Seeing Huang Xiaolong’s expression, Elder Sheng Yue was so angry that his beard seemed to bristle.

At this moment, Yang Yi, who had hurried over upon hearing the commotion, couldn’t help but say irritably, “Listen here, you old freak, Huang Xiaolong is your Direct Disciple.

His strength has made great progress, which is a good thing.

Why are you throwing such a fit?”

Elder Sheng Yue paused for a moment, then cracked a smile, scratched his head, and said sheepishly, “I’m not angry, I’m just…

happy, that’s all, excited, yes, excited and happy!”

Yang Yi rolled her eyes and said, “I think you’re just jealous.”

This time, Elder Sheng Yue didn’t argue, but instead looked at Huang Xiaolong with a mix of sighs of lament and relief in his heart.

He suddenly felt that taking Huang Xiaolong as a disciple was one of the most brilliant and valiant decisions he had ever made.

Of course, if he said he wasn’t jealous, that would be a lie.

But truly, anyone would be lying if they weren’t envious upon seeing that Huang Xiaolong had taken only a bit more than forty years to break through from Divine Domain Ninth Rank Early Stage to Divine Domain Ninth Stage Late Stage Peak.

Elder Sheng Yue had been favored by the previous Ten Thousand Realms Sect Master, taken as a Direct Disciple, and succeeded the position of Ten Thousand Realms Sect Master, which shows how monstrous his talent was.

Yet even Elder Sheng Yue used more than two hundred years to go from Divine Domain Ninth Rank Early Stage to Divine Domain Ninth Stage Late Stage Peak!

And that was after swallowing countless Holy-level Divine Pills provided by the Ten Thousand Realms Sect; otherwise, who knows how much longer it would have taken.

Compared with Huang Xiaolong, Elder Sheng Yue really felt like he had lived his life as a dog.

As for the other geniuses of the Star River, they might as well have lived their lives as mere tails of dogs; at least he was the main body.

With Huang Xiaolong coming out of closed-door cultivation and his significant advancement in strength, everyone at the Huang Family Manor was overjoyed.

That day, another banquet was held in celebration.

At the banquet, Huang Xiaolong inquired about the situation in the Martial Soul World over these years.

Everyone spoke at once, voices overlapping in a jumble.

It was then that Huang Xiaolong learned that shortly after he had begun his secluded cultivation, many experts from super forces such as the Jiang Family, the Gudu Family, the Wang Family, the Zhu Family, and others from the Star River had arrived in the Martial Soul World.

Even many super forces from the Azure Dragon Star River, the White Tiger Star River, and the Vermilion Bird Star River had come.

Their goal, naturally, was the Black Lotus that had bloomed once in two million years.

Later, Elder Sheng Yue took ruthless action, directly killing more than thirty Supreme Elders from the Azure Dragon Academy, White Tiger Academy, and Vermilion Bird Academy, and severely injuring Jia Xiangtian, the Vice Dean of the Azure Dragon Academy, before the crowd of experts was deterred and retreated.

If it weren’t for Elder Sheng Yue and Yang Yi, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

“Azure Dragon Academy!

White Tiger Academy!

Vermilion Bird Academy!

Jiang Family, Gudu Family, Wang Family, Zhu Family!” Huang Xiaolong enunciated each name, a frightening murderous intent flickering in his eyes with each one.

As long as he broke through to the Divine Level, the first he would annihilate would be the Azure Dragon Academy!

Then, it would be the Jiang Family!

And that Old Witch, Wang Na.

The banquet lasted for quite a while before dispersing.

Huang Xiaolong returned to his small courtyard, then planned his subsequent cultivation.

He had obtained the Xuanwu Divine Fire, and from the trip to the Heavenly God Mountain, he had acquired the Void Spirit Body.

His only true opponent in the upcoming God Advancement Battle was Xiang Mingzhi.

However, Huang Xiaolong wasn’t completely confident about winning first place in the God Advancement Battle.

Ever since the Pill King competition, there had been no sign of Xiang Mingzhi, nor any news.

Elder Sheng Yue speculated that Xiang Mingzhi must have entered a forbidden area known as the Azure Dragon Absolute Territory within the Azure Dragon Academy to cultivate in seclusion.

Legend had it that the Azure Dragon Absolute Territory contained a legacy left by the first Dean of the Azure Dragon Academy.

However, for countless tens of thousands of years, no disciple of the Azure Dragon Academy had been able to obtain this legacy.

Huang Xiaolong felt a vague worry.

What if Xiang Mingzhi really managed to obtain the legacy left by the first Dean of the Azure Dragon Academy?

If Xiang Mingzhi really did obtain the legacy of the first Dean of the Azure Dragon Academy, no one knew how much he would grow by the time of the God Advancement Battle.

“It seems I must find the White Tiger Divine Fire or the Vermilion Bird Divine Fire,” Huang Xiaolong’s eyes sparkled.

If he could find either the White Tiger Divine Fire or the Vermilion Bird Divine Fire and fuse with it, then even if Xiang Mingzhi truly obtained the legacy of the first Dean of the Azure Dragon Academy, Huang Xiaolong would not fear him.

With the fusion of two Divine Fires, Huang Xiaolong would surely sweep through all his rivals in the God Advancement Battle.

However, the records about the White Tiger Divine Fire and the Vermilion Bird Divine Fire were just a few sparse lines in the Xuanwu Academy’s library, providing virtually no leads.

To find information on the White Tiger Divine Fire and the Vermilion Bird Divine Fire, it seemed he could only look in the libraries of the White Tiger and Vermilion Bird Academies.

But how to enter the White Tiger and Vermilion Bird Academies?

Forcing his way in was clearly impossible, as even Divine-level experts couldn’t withdraw unscathed.

Suddenly, Huang Xiaolong’s eyes brightened.

Wasn’t Shi Xiaofei’s master, Yang Yi, the Vermilion Bird Mansion Master’s younger martial sister?

Perhaps he could ask for her help to enter the Vermilion Bird Academy.

“What?

You want to enter the Vermilion Bird Academy?” Yang Yi expressed her surprise when she heard Huang Xiaolong wanted to enter the Vermilion Bird Academy.

“Kid, what do you need in the Vermilion Bird Academy?” Elder Sheng Yue also asked, feeling curious.

“I want to check out some materials in the library of the Vermilion Bird Academy,” Huang Xiaolong said.

As for the search for the Vermilion Bird Divine Fire, Huang Xiaolong did not reveal that detail—not because he didn’t trust Yang Yi and Elder Sheng Yue, but because he felt the fewer people who knew about it, the better.
