Chapter 642: Chapter 5: Dark Winged Divine Dragon Dharma Body [Seeking monthly votes!]"_1

After six years, Liang Longhao finally soared in the sky again.

Although the three young people might be considered the pride of Gao Yue Country, they still stared in wonder like children who had never seen the world once they were aboard this luxurious flying boat. After all, this was the pinnacle of what Shu Mountain’s richest person could achieve, its value greatly exceeded that of any ordinary flying boat.

Chu Liang let them explore the ship, while he sat quietly at the bow, closing his eyes in deep thought.

The first thing he needed to do was to reply to Senior Sister Jiang’s message.

While he was in the Black Dragon Secret Realm, he had briefly woken up a few times. However, his Soul Crystal was blocked by the realm, so he wasn’t aware of the messages. Upon leaving the secret realm, all the piled-up messages immediately appeared. Only then did he know that Jiang Yuebai’s concern had never ceased over the years.

After contemplating for a long time, he finally sent a response.

Chu Liang: "I am back. I have been healing in the secret realm, and it felt like a dream spanning several years. I am now in the Western Regions, where are you?"

Chu Liang: "I miss you a lot."

Awaited for a while, but there was no reply.

He guessed that Jiang Yuebai might be momentarily busy, or she too might have entered into some secret realm and could not receive the messages from the Soul Crystal. There was no hurry for these things, he put them aside for the moment.

Then, he released his Divine Sense into the White Pagoda.

A few big-headed puppets sat there with dimmed aura, the prosperity of the past was gone, making Chu Liang feel heartbroken.

Six years, a whole six years...

All the cultivation that he could have gained during this time, all of it was wasted.

Luckily, he had previously stored some elixirs. He immediately feeds the Big Head Babies, and the puppets instantly returned to operation.

The replenishment of elixirs for Zhou Tian Puppet, Golden Core Puppet and Dharma Body Puppet had to be timely, so they all went on a big strike these years. Only the Five Elements Puppet, because it consumed Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure, a spiritual medicine could last for a long time, so it persisted for one more year than the others, providing Chu Liang with much more Five Elements True Qi.

Chu Liang was now full of Five Elements True Qi. With a little practice and enough resources, he should be able to advance quickly.

At the moment, his cultivation was still at the Third Level of the Fifth Stage, but the Nine Heavens Mysterious Heart Technique is no longer his primary cultivation technique. Now he relies on his Dragon Race heritage, his battle power is formidable even among cultivators at the Peak of the Sixth Realm.

Rather than calling him a cultivator, it would be better to call him a human-shaped true dragon.

Tuntun was originally dozing off on the side, sleeping very heavily. It looked like it was using a kind of hibernation to reduce the consumption of spiritual power.

But Chu Liang’s arrival and the noise made by the Big Head Babies finally woke her up.

The little thing woke up in a daze, unable to believe its eyes when it saw Chu Liang. It rubbed its eyes to make sure the person was truly him. After that, Tuntun, like a shadow, barreled straight into Chu Liang’s arms.

"Ah," Chu Liang said, surprised at her wakefulness and her strength that almost knocked him over. He looked down to see Tuntun looking up at him, her mouth pulled into a pout, and her big clear eyes full of tears.

She whispered, "Hungry...", after which her tears started to fall profusely. It seemed that she was truly famished.

Thankfully she was a naturally vigorous beast. If it were any ordinary Spirit Pet, it would have already shutdown. Chu Liang quickly rummaged through his Magical Storage Tool to find something edible. The common foods from six years ago could not be eaten now, and Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure were too precious to give her. Fortunately, there were still some berries in the Jade Box, they should be okay to eat.

Chu Liang let Little Tuntun out, coaxed her and fed her several boxes of berries. Seeing that she was finally full, he sent her back again.

Things in the White Pagoda were finally taken care of.

...

Next, he came to the Black Dragon mark and suddenly felt a bit dizzy.

He hadn’t rewarded himself for six years.

Although his sense of time passing wasn’t clear while he was in the secret realm, standing here made him feel somewhat unfamiliar. Luckily, such matters were ingrained in him and there was no unfamiliarity.

He stepped forward, raised his hand, and pressed the "Refine" character.

Boom——

A flash of red light, the huge mark disappeared and turned into a ball of radiance emerged.

[Dark Winged Divine Dragon Dharma Body]:

Only those in the Fifth Stage who carry the Dragon Race’s lineage can cultivate it. Dragon breath transforms into wings, and dark scales cover the body, granting the speed of wind and electricity, the strength to shake mountains, and unbreakable scales.

As Chu Liang looked at the jade slip containing the Cultivation Technique, he felt that the luck accumulated over six years did have some use.

This Dharma Body was exactly what he needed now.

His current cultivation had not reached the Sixth Stage, theoretically he could not cultivate the Dharma Body. But this Dark Winged Divine Dragon Dharma Body did not have a cultivation limit, only requiring one to reach the Fifth Stage and carry the Dragon Race’s lineage. Like some unique Dharma Bodies he had encountered before, it can be activated in advance.

Even though his current combat power did not particularly care about advancing to the Sixth Stage, he still required adequate cultivation to advance through Heaven’s Gate in the future.

He can personally cultivate this Dark Winged Divine Dragon Dharma Body, while letting the Dharma Body Puppet cultivate the Mysterious Dharma Body of Nine Heavens, ultimately obtaining double Dharma Bodies.

This Divine Dragon Dharma Body boosts speed, strength, and defense, purely on a physical level. The Mysterious Dharma Body of Nine Heavens enhances True Qi, Divine Sense, and cast speed, offering substantial benefits at the spiritual level.

Once the double Dharma Body is integrated, I will indeed become a hexagonal warrior.

Moreover, this Divine Dragon Dharma Body uses Dragon Breath as the basis of its power, perfectly fitting my Dragonkin essence. It’s perfect!

With these thoughts in mind, Chu Liang quietly read through the contents of the Dark Winged Divine Dragon Dharma Body, and with his Dragon Breath circulating inside him, he began refining it. For a person with a dragon lineage, refining this Dharma Body usually takes some time.

After all, one has to infuse the Dragon Breath into every part of the body, comprehensively transforming an individual’s physique.

However, for Chu Liang to refine this kind of Dharma Body, it was like an all-world champion returning to university to study the very specialty that had won them the championship. It was a matter of minutes for him to complete the course.

The distance from the Ancient Dragon Nest to Gao Yue Country was not long.

After a while, the three from Qi Feng Temple came to find Chu Liang, wanting to notify him of their imminent arrival.

Suddenly sprouted from the back of Chu Liang, who had been quietly sitting there, was a pair of pure black wings as if forged from Black Meteorite Iron, a yard in length, and blazing with vicious ink-colored flames.

He took to the air and stood majestically in mid-air, with an aura like that of a Demon God!

"Ah!"

Several young individuals who were about to approach were frightened into retreating several steps, almost falling over.

The advent of this Dharma Body made the surrounding air pressure heavier which also made Chu Liang’s Dragon God Token on his forehead flicker. The feels of fear within demon beasts with Dragon Descendant Bloodlines within a hundred miles vicinity made them want to kneel down out of reverence.

With wings spread mid-air and gushing Dragon Breath, the potent power sensation made Chu Liang want to roar out, proclaiming his return.

Fortunately, he noticed the people behind him in time and controlled his impulses.

He immediately withdrew his Dharma Body, transformed back into a figure fluttering elegantly in his robes, smiled at those present, and spoke, "My apologies, I was somewhat lost in my cultivation technique and may have frightened some of you."

Even after several years, his appearance hadn’t changed much. Chu Liang always had an innocent, child-like face, which did not appear mature even now.

His smile immediately calmed everyone down.

Qi Linmu spoke, "Senior, we have arrived at the capital of Gao Yue Country."

"Excellent," Chu Liang nodded lightly and said, "Time for me to pay a visit then."

As the Liang Longhao arrived overhead, it drew the spectators in the city. Gao Yue Country was not as large as Yu Dynasty, but it was enough to attract everyone’s attention.

Chu Liang immediately landed the flying boat, led by the disciples of Qi Feng Temple, taking the rescued women into the royal palace.

...

In the royal palace of Gao Yue Country were more than a dozen halls, adorned with green trees, clear springs, and gold-tiled white walls. It was a quiet and elegant environment. While it couldn’t compare to the imperial city of Yu, it was considered luxurious among western countries.

Qi Lingshan and Qi Lingyue went to report and settled the rescued women while Qi Linmu led Chu Liang directly to meet the Monarch of Gao Yue Country.

The structure of these small countries was not as strict as the dynasties of the Nine States. Once a strong cultivator emerged, it was easy to stage a coup. Therefore, the royal family firmly held onto the cultivation resources, and the cultivators in the country were directly governed by the royal family.

Children with cultivation talent discovered at a young age would be taken directly into Qi Feng Temple, changing their surname to the national surname, considered as a member of the royal family with a very high status. The leader of the Qi Feng Temple was either the Monarch himself or a close follower of the royal family, ensuring that all cultivators in the country were under the Monarch’s control.

Even so, the frequency of regime changes in the Western countries was quite high. The smaller the country, the more difficult it was to form checks and balances among various forces, making it easier for strong cultivators to usurp the throne.

The situation in Gao Yue Country was slightly better, thanks to the important resources produced there. Therefore, the Immortal Sects wanted to ensure stability in this place.

"Your Majesty," Qi Linmu entered the hall and saluted, "We indeed found traces of the evil dragon at the Ancient Dragon Nest and rescued several kidnapped women, but the princess was not among them."

"Sigh," the man on the throne seemed to be in his fifties or sixties, chubby with a face full of fortune. He sighed and then looked at Chu Liang, "And who might you be?"

"This is Senior Chu Liuxiang, who we met in the Ancient Dragon Nest. He is from Shu Mountain and killed the evil dragon entirely on his own. He has been a great help to us. We invited him to our capital as a guest, hoping to thank him," Qi Linmu answered.

He emphasized the word ’Shu Mountain’ when he spoke.

It seemed that despite his young age, this disciple could read into the situation. His efforts to win over Chu Liang were not just out of gratitude.

"Shu Mountain disciple?" The Monarch’s eyes brightened. He smiled, "Our Gao Yue Country has been cooperating a lot with Shu Mountain these past two years. Young Hero Chu, why not stay in our country for a few days? Tomorrow, Jade Fan and Mountain Tiger from Shu Mountain will arrive in our capital, and we could all have a grand celebration."

"Thank you very much for your generosity," Chu Liang nodded, "To be up-front, I came here after hearing of the kidnapping incident of your country’s princess by an evil dragon. Given my knowledge about the Dragonkin, I might be able to help, so I came to take a look."

"Oh?" Hearing this, the Monarch’s smile widened, "Our small Western Country lacks capable cultivators. If Young Hero Chu can help, that would be wonderful. I am entrusting this issue to you, Young Hero Chu. Linmu, go back and tell your fellow disciples to fully support Young Hero Chu for this cause."

As a Monarch himself, though his cultivation realm was not as strict as the Emperor’s Seventh Realm, he was at the Peak of the Sixth Realm, otherwise, his throne might not be stable. As for Chu Liang, whose aura revealed to be only at the Fifth Realm, the Monarch didn’t need to regard him this highly.

The reason for his respect was his reverence to the Shu Mountain behind Chu Liang.

Just when they were having a good conversation, a yell came from outside, "Uncle Emperor has arrived—"

For some reason, upon hearing these three words, the Monarch’s face fell, and his expression immediately sagged.
