Chapter 0311: Unlimited Prospects
“Much faster than a top-tier flying artifact?!?” Marshall and Sheng Wen exclaimed in shock.
Originally, they had thought it was already astonishing enough that Huang Long possessed a top-tier flying artifact, but they never expected it to be even faster than those! A Sovereign God’s flying artifact?! Immediately, they shook their heads in denial.
A Sovereign God’s flying artifact was meant solely for the Sovereign God to use; not even the Sovereign God’s most beloved descendants were allowed to ride it. This was a universally accepted rule in the Netherworld. No Sovereign God dared to break it.
A Sovereign God’s flying artifact represented a status reserved only for the Sovereign God.
“Possessing a flying artifact that’s much faster than a top-tier one!” Marshall said, pausing briefly before adding with a smile, “I’m growing increasingly interested in this Huang Long!”
Learning that Huang Long had such a fast flying artifact only strengthened Marshall’s determination to find him. Huang Long—this man who, along with his followers, had broken his record in the Netherworld Trials—had many secrets. A flying artifact that outperformed even top-tier ones? Even the best descendants of the six major families in the Netherworld couldn’t possibly possess such something.
“What exactly is Huang Long’s status?!” Sheng Wen asked.
That was the most important question. He had once investigated and found that there was also a person named Huang Long who entered the Netherworld from a mortal realm through a teleportation array. But it was absurd—could someone who had just arrived from a mortal realm possess a flying artifact faster than a top-tier one?
“Sheng Wen, didn’t that Huang Long come from Silver Emperor City to Sheng Wen City by riding a flying artifact of the Sovereign God’s army?” Marshall asked.
“Correct,” Sheng Wen replied casually. Why was Marshall asking? Suddenly, Sheng Wen’s expression changed as he stared at Marshall. “Are you saying that Huang Long only acquired this flying artifact in recent years?!”
“That’s possible!” Marshall said seriously.
After all, if Huang Long had possessed such an artifact back then, he likely wouldn’t have used the Sovereign God’s army’s flying artifact anymore.
“If he acquired it in recent years, then what?!” Sheng Wen then thought of another even more unacceptable possibility, though it was highly unlikely.
“Exactly. I suspect this flying artifact was created by Huang Long himself!” Marshall said gravely. Considering all the possibilities, the answer became clear.
Even the mighty Huanglong clans in the various divine realms couldn’t possess such flying artifacts one after another; only Huanglong himself making them makes sense.
“He can make them himself!” Saint Wen could no longer sit still. He stood up and paced back and forth. If this were true, then Huanglong was truly incredible—a monster, an absolute super monster!
Not to mention breaking Marshall’s record, if this news spread, not only would the major super clans of the Netherworld seek out Huanglong, but even other supreme divine realms and mainline divine realms would flock to the Netherworld.
Of course, these people would spare no effort to bring Huanglong into their clans. If they couldn’t, they would likely do anything to destroy him.
Even the six major clans of the Netherworld didn’t want the secret of creating flying artifacts to be revealed.
“It seems I must report this to the Supreme God!” Saint Wen thought to himself.
Last time, when the Supreme God of theCanghai Continent learned that Huanglong had broken Marshall’s record and had four subordinates who showed anomalies in the Divine Transformation Pool, he already took an interest in Huanglong. So what about this time?
In the vast Netherworld, there aren’t many things that can interest the Supreme God.
After chatting with Marshall for a while longer, Saint Wen ordered Webb to continue secretly investigating Huanglong and report immediately if any news related to him came to light.
After giving the order, Marshall also left Saint Wen City. He didn’t want to wait any longer and decided to go investigate Huanglong himself. However, he still had to return to Saint Wen City every few days.
Marshall left in a hurry, looking anxious. Saint Wen shook his head, knowing that if Marshall hadn’t found Huanglong, he wouldn’t give up.
A short while later, Saint Wen arrived at an underground secret chamber. The chamber was huge, several miles square, like a small world beneath the earth. Upon entering, Saint Wen crushed a piece of jade in his hand, then stood respectfully to the side with a serious expression. Before long, the space inside the chamber trembled, and then, within a pale blue glow, the projection of a young man with long pale blue hair appeared.
As the projection of the young man appeared, an overwhelming pressure radiated from him.
“Supreme God!” Seeing the projection of the young man with pale blue hair, Saint Wen quickly spoke respectfully.
The Supreme God! This young man was none other than the Supreme God of theCanghai Continent, who specialized in the rule of destruction!
“Saint Wen, what’s the matter?” the Supreme God asked with a disdainful gaze.
“Supreme God, that Huanglong appeared in Saint Wen City not long ago!” Saint Wen replied urgently.
“Oh, that Yellow Dragon appeared? What happened after that?” The Sea God’s eyes flashed, and with a slight movement, an aura of destruction emerged, causing the surrounding space to crack. He still remembered this special Yellow Dragon. Sheng Wen quickly recounted everything, including his and Marshall’s hypotheses. “What? He has a flying artifact faster than those of top-grade? And it might even be created by him?” The Sea God was slightly surprised after hearing Sheng Wen’s account. “Yes, Lord God!” Sheng Wen replied. “This Yellow Dragon seems to hide many secrets. Keep an eye on him, try to find him, and train him along with his four subordinates,” said the Sea God. Although the Yellow Dragon surprised him, a mid-tier god and those four subordinates, though showing abnormal traits, weren’t worth his returning to the Netherworld from his godly realm. If he returned, his divine awareness would cover the entire Sea Continent, leaving no one able to escape its reach. As long as the Yellow Dragon and others were on the Sea Continent, he could find them. For now, though surprised and intrigued, it was merely interest. Perhaps after several eras, when the Yellow Dragon and the four, including Bog, had grown to become supreme gods, he might consider subduing them. “Yes, Lord God!” Sheng Wen promptly replied respectfully. The Sea God nodded and then disappeared. After the projection left, Sheng Wen breathed a sigh of relief. Even just facing the Sea God’s projection had put this peerless warrior under pressure. “This Yellow Dragon has a bright future ahead!” Sheng Wen thought to himself as he left the secret chamber. A mid-tier god and four subordinates being ordered by the God himself to be trained was something countless supreme gods in the Netherworld could only dream of… After leaving Sheng Wen City, the Yellow Dragon boarded a top-grade flying immortal artifact and returned to the Dragon Mountain Range in less than ten days. In the following days, he gave lectures to the people of Longmen and Taiyi Peak. A year later, the Yellow Dragon took Bog and the others back to the Ancient Forest. Before leaving, he set up a magic array to conceal the various peaks of the Dragon Mountain Range. Without being close to them or paying close attention, even a Level 7 Nether King would find it difficult to detect any differences in the range. Everything remained as usual.
Next, Huang Long and others continued to hunt Prime Beasts frantically in the Ancient Forest. A few years later, Huang Long went to thethe King of Hell King’s Palace in Holy Literature City to resell the Prime Beasts. Of course, he changed his appearance each time. To avoid arousing suspicion, Huang Long traveled alone, without Bog and the others. After reselling the Prime Beasts, he returned to the Dragon Mountain Range and gave sermons. A year later, he took Bog and the others back to the Ancient Forest. Thus, Huang Long and Bog and the others kept traveling back and forth between the Ancient Forest and the Dragon Mountain Range. A hundred years passed quickly. A hundred years was but a blink of an eye for the powerful gods of the Netherworld, but during that time, tremendous changes occurred among Huang Long and his companions. First, Huang Long made terrifying progress, reaching the mid-stage of Heavenly Immortal. Before long, he would be able to reach the late stage. Among Bog and the others, Bog, the orc Natt, Gusta, and the Fat Lion were the fastest to advance, reaching the mid-stage of Lower Gods, while Tianqing Python Ox and the others reached the peak of the early stage of Lower Gods. Over those hundred years, by reselling Prime Beasts, the amount of Divine Antiquity in Huang Long’s Divine Card exceeded 1.2 trillion! Of course, every time he went to thethe King of Hell King’s Palace to resell the Prime Beasts, Ralph, the chief administrator of the palace, was always greatly surprised. Every two or three years, someone would resell tens of millions of Prime Beasts, and this situation continued for a full hundred years! This not only caught the attention of Stanny, the head of thethe King of Hell King’s Palace in Holy Literature City, but also some of the elders of the main palace. Ralph even learned that Elvi, the president of the main palace, personally took interest in the matter. Elvi was one of the eight fully perfected Upper Gods of the Netherworld. What shocked Ralph and the others was that this phenomenon continued even after a hundred years. Two hundred years passed without it stopping, seemingly with no end in sight. Over those two hundred years, more than 300 million Prime Beasts were resold, and by the end, almost all of them were at the third level of Lower Gods. In those two hundred years, Huang Long reached the late stage of Heavenly Immortal, and the four members of Bog’s group also advanced to the late stage of Lower Gods. Under Huang Long’s sermons every two years, the people of Longmen and Taiyi Peak saw varying degrees of improvement in their cultivation. Especially the people of Longmen, after evolving through the magical artifact Longmen, purifying their dragon bloodline, and practicing the PanGu Dragon Clan’s cultivation method “Heavenly Dragon Transformation” given by Huang Long, their bodies gradually transformed into those of the PanGu Dragon Clan. Meanwhile, Huang Long’s mount, the Wind-Flame Dragon Kirin, which was at the peak of the mid-stage of Lower Gods, also saw significant strength gains over those two hundred years.
The Wind-Flame Dragon Scale is a primordial beast of chaos. To evolve, it needs to consume rare metals or exotic fruits, which are not available even in the trade halls of various cities. Initially, the Yellow Dragon was worried about the Wind-Flame Dragon Scale’s evolution; if it couldn’t evolve, it would be extremely frustrating. However, later, after the Netherworld Divine Tree absorbed enough primordial beast crystals, it finally produced Netherworld Fruits. After consuming these fruits, the Wind-Flame Dragon Scale found that their effects were even better than those of any exotic fruits it had known before. Only then did the Yellow Dragon feel relieved! As the Netherworld Divine Tree continued to absorb primordial beast crystals and produce more Netherworld Fruits, the evolution of the Wind-Flame Dragon Scale was no longer a problem.
