Invincible Chapter 771: Feng Yang Exits Seclusion

Even though Huang Xiaolong was only a late-Tenth Order G.o.d Realm, his speed in refining spirit pellets and absorbing spiritual energy was faster than any late-First Order HighG.o.d Realm master.

Thus, he estimated that he wouldn't take long to refine Jia Xiangtian’s rank four G.o.dhead. At least, it wouldn't take as much time as it did when he was a Seventh Order G.o.d Realm refining the rank five G.o.dhead.

The pa.s.sage of time flowed, three days came and went.

Wuhuang Peak, Black Warrior Inst.i.tute.

Sitting on the main throne-like seat in the main hall, w.a.n.g Na was looking dark and gloomy.

“The Golden Horned Beast King and Jia Xiangtian still haven’t sent back any message?” w.a.n.g Na was obviously in a dark mood as she questioned the Black Warrior Inst.i.tute Grand Elder Zhang Yijia who was standing some distance from her.

Zhang Yijia shook his head with a solemn expression, “Not yet.” He hesitated before adding, “Vice-Princ.i.p.al, could the Golden Horned Beast King and Jia Xiangtian have swallowed both the Hailstone and Xuanji Treasures, and thus, they didn't initiate any contact with Vice-Princ.i.p.al after killing Huang Xiaolong?”

A trace of doubt flashed past w.a.n.g Na’s gloomy face, but she shook head, denying, “Not likely.”

Considering w.a.n.g Na’s reply, Zhang Yingjia said, “If that is not the case, why haven’t they sent any reply? It has been three days. Did they perhaps fail to kill Huang Xiaolong?”

“Failed to kill Huang Xiaolong?” w.a.n.g Na was nonplussed. This possibility never crossed her mind.

However, being said out in the open now, w.a.n.g Na’s doubts were roused. Maybe the Ascending Moon Old Man and Yang Yi didn't really leave Martial Spirit World and that was why the Golden Horned Beast King and Jia Xiangtian failed their task?

Right at this time, a cold harrumph echoed in the hall.

At the sound of this cold harrumph, w.a.n.g Na who was sitting on the main seat fell down to her knees, her tone filled with respect: w.a.n.g Na greets the Great Lord!”

Black Warrior Inst.i.tute Grand Elder Zhang Yingjia also fell to his knees, trembling from head to toe.

“The Golden Horned Beast King and Jia Xiangtian are dead.” The voice sounded again, cold, abstract, yet holding inviolable authority and pressure.

w.a.n.g Na’s head jerked up in disbelief, “The Golden Horned Beast King and Jia Xiangtian are dead?!”

“Yes.” The intangible voice sounded. Only the voice could be heard, not a shadow or inclination of its owner.

“Great Lord, is it true that the Ascending Moon Old Man and Yang Yi really didn't leave Martial Spirit World?” w.a.n.g Na couldn’t resist asking.

All of a sudden, a vast force surged out from the void. Before this vast power force, even w.a.n.g Na dared not have the slightest thought of resisting as she was blasted into the air, together with the throne seat behind her.

Watching this, Grand Elder Zhang Yingjia curled deeper, like he wished to make himself smaller.

w.a.n.g Na quickly struggled up and on her knees again, not a groan of pain came from her as she spoke with caution: “Please give your order, Great Lord.”

“The Golden Horned Beast King and Jia Xiangtian’s cause of death, investigate it in detail! Also, find out if Huang Xiaolong’s side has other HighG.o.d Realm masters other than the Ascending Moon Old Man and Yang Yi!”

Other HighG.o.d Realm masters? w.a.n.g Na was dumbfounded, but she quickly answered, “Yes, Great Lord!”

After a short ‘En’, the voice disappeared and the hall returned to silence.

It was a long time later when w.a.n.g Na gradually stood up, her face dark with thoughts.

“You heard what the Great Lord said just now.” w.a.n.g Na looked at Grand Elder Zhang Yingjia, her voice chilling, “Immediately go find out how the Golden Horned Beast King and Jia Xiangtian died! You know what the repercussions are if you fail!”

A cold s.h.i.+ver ran down Grand Elder Zhang Yingjia’s back and he quickly answered: “Yes, Vice Princ.i.p.al!”

The person inside the G.o.dly Mt. Xumi, who was refining Jia Xiangtian’s rank four G.o.dhead, was oblivious to this.

Sitting cross-legged inside the Xumi Temple, Huang Xiaolong’s body was coc.o.o.ned by swirling dragon qi.

Both the Black Tortoise and Vermilion Bird Divine Fires’ spirits were hovering around him as the Black Tortoise and Vermilion Bird Galaxies’ star force rushed down like a waterfall from the void, into Huang Xiaolong’s body.

Jia Xiangtian’s rank four G.o.dhead was hovering in front of Huang Xiaolong. G.o.dforce and G.o.d’s Law were floating out, entering his body together with the star force from the Black Tortoise and Vermilion Bird Galaxies.

The Treasure Dragon diagram glimmered brightly inside his body, absorbing the three different kinds of forces at a crazy speed, as well as the G.o.dforce and G.o.d’s Law.

Unknowingly, a year pa.s.sed.

One year later, the G.o.dforce and G.o.d’s Law contained inside that rank four G.o.dhead were completely absorbed by Huang Xiaolong. The G.o.dhead turned into gray ash, disintegrated and disappeared from this world.

Another three days pa.s.sed before Huang Xiaolong opened his eyes, waking up.

After opening his eyes, Huang Xiaolong immediately checked his overall condition, but the result was disappointing.

Although Jia Xiangtian’s rank four G.o.dhead did help his strength increase a little, it wasn’t enough to push his cultivation to peak late-Tenth Order G.o.d Realm. However, the number of s.p.a.ce and time threads in his soul sea multiplied, reaching a significant number, and his True Dragon Physique became that much stronger.

“I wonder how much I'll improve after refining the other parts of the Hundred Spirits Beast King’s body.” Huang Xiaolong muttered his thoughts under his breath.

Now, it was time to search for the Hundred Spirits Beast King’s other sealed body parts.

A moment later, Huang Xiaolong exited the G.o.dly Mt. Xumi.

Out from the G.o.dly Mt. Xumi, he summoned the Phoenix Clan Ancestor and the others, asking about the events of the past year.

During the time when Huang Xiaolong was in seclusion, nothing out of ordinary happened in the Huang Clan Manor or Martial Spirit World. Neither the demonic beasts clan nor the people from the Azure Dragon Inst.i.tute appeared.

Also, the Phoenix Clan Ancestor, Huang Hongtian, the Peng brothers, and the Nine-Tailed White Fox had completed the task Huang Xiaolong gave them before he entered seclusion; arranging small scale Spirit Amplifying Arrays in all royal cities and a relatively bigger array in imperial cities.

On the other hand, the Huang Clan Manor had expanded twice its previous size.

Hearing these reports, Huang Xiaolong nodded in satisfaction.

But, two days later, just as Huang Xiaolong was about to leave in search for the Hundred Spirits Beast King’s other sealed body parts, two unexpected guests appeared at his door.

“Senior Apprentice-brother, Third Apprentice-sister!” Seeing them, Huang Xiaolong greeted in surprise.

“Haha, Junior Apprentice-brother!” Liu Yun was extremely happy seeing Huang Xiaolong, laughing heartily as he patted Huang Xiaolong’s shoulder.

“Junior Apprentice-brother!” Qi Wen also greeted with a wide smile on her face.

“Senior Apprentice-brother, Third Apprentice-sister, it has been a long time. What brings you here?” Huang Xiaolong asked. These years, both Liu Yun and Qi Wen had been focusing on their cultivation in preparation for the upcoming HighG.o.d Advancement Tournament.

Liu Yun smiled, “What, we can’t come here to see our Junior Apprentice-brother without a purpose? You, already returned to Martial Spirit World for so long, yet you didn’t even come back to the Black Warrior Inst.i.tute to visit me and your Third Apprentice-sister.”

Huang Xiaolong tried to cover his embarra.s.sment with a smile.

These years, if he wasn’t in seclusion, he was searching for the Vermilion Bird Divine Fire and the Black Tortoise Divine Fire. He really didn’t have time to return to the Black Warrior Inst.i.tute.

“But, coming over this time, we do have something to tell you.” Liu Yun grinned, “Master has left his seclusion and wants you to return to the inst.i.tute, he has something to tell you.”

“Master is out from seclusion.” Huang Xiaolong was dazed. But he had no idea what his Master wanted to speak to him about.
