Chapter 0663: Arriving at Dragon God Peak

“This, this… think!” Although he didn’t understand what Huang Long meant by those words, Huang Fei still voiced his thoughts, feeling a bit embarrassed afterward.
Huang Long smiled and said, “Just think!”
“Just think?” Huang Fei stared at Huang Long, puzzled. How could something be solved just by thinking? Could it really be that simple? If it hadn’t been Huang Long who said it, he would have doubted if there was something wrong with the other person.
Of course, he could only harbor such thoughts secretly.
“Stretch out your hand!” Huang Long said at that moment.
Stretch out his hand? Huang Fei was stunned. Why stretch out his hand? Yet, faced with Huang Long’s unyielding command, despite having a hundred questions, he still stretched out his hand. It was only then, as he extended his right hand, that he remembered Huang Long hadn’t specified which hand.
Huang Long pointed at his right palm, and a golden light flashed. Huang Fei felt a terrifying energy surge into his right hand, causing his body to tremble uncontrollably.
“What, what is this?!” Huang Fei swallowed hard, staring at Huang Long in disbelief.
Transferring power?! That thought flashed through his mind.
He knew about power transfer—it involved transferring one’s own combat energy into another’s body to enhance their strength. But to do that, one needed to be at least as strong as a Saint Domain expert!
“Is he a Saint Domain expert?!” That thought crossed his mind as he stared at Huang Long’s unnaturally young face.
Yet, just as this thought arose, the force grew stronger and stronger, surging like massive waves. Huang Fei was terrified.
What shocked him even more was that after the energy entered his body, his meridians didn’t rupture.
Boom! Suddenly, Huang Fei felt his entire body shake as if some barrier inside him had burst open, followed by a sense of relief.
“This… this means I’ve reached the peak of Level 8!” Huang Fei immediately realized what had happened. He was utterly astonished—in just a few moments, he had gone from mid-Level 8 to a Level 9 expert!
Level 9—truly Level 9!
He had thought he would never go beyond the peak of Level 8 in his life, but now he was suddenly a Level 9 expert!
Elation filled Huang Fei’s heart, his face turning red as his breathing became rapid. He stared at Huang Long in disbelief. He had heard that even Saint Domain experts couldn’t raise a mid-Level 8 expert to Level 9, could they?!

Could it be him?! Huang Fei thought of a possibility, his expression changing again as the awe in his eyes turned into terror. He swallowed hard, with a gulping sound. When he came back to his senses, he found that his internal fighting energy was still rising steadily, with his energy cavities growing thicker. Gradually, he moved from the early stage of level nine to the middle stage, and then from the middle stage to the late stage of level nine! The peak of level nine! Sensing this change within his body, his mind became confused. Yet, even at the peak of level nine, it didn’t stop—could it be?! Huang Fei’s heart trembled. It was only then that he realized how fragile his heart was, beating so violently and clearly. Boom! Just like when he broke through from the peak of level eight to level nine, his body shook violently again, this time with even greater force. His body felt light, as if he might fly. The Sacred Realm! After a while, Huang Long retracted his divine energy. When he did, Huang Fei still stood there in shock. Huang Long smiled. This time, he didn’t lift Huang Fei directly to the Divine Realm; he only allowed him to reach the peak of the Sacred Realm. However, this peak was temporary. Next, it would depend on his performance at the family assembly. If Huang Long was satisfied, he might allow him to break through to the peak of the Divine Realm and become the head of the Huang family. Suddenly, Huang Fei bit himself hard and screamed loudly, “Ah! Mom, it’s not a dream!” It turned out he had suspected he was still asleep. Huang Long shook his head and smiled. “Let’s go, it’s getting light,” said Huang Long, then turned and left the courtyard. Only then did Huang Fei regain his senses. In his urgency, he tried to reach out to Huang Long to ask about his doubts, but suddenly realizing it was inappropriate, he quickly pulled back his hand. Watching Huang Long leave, he was at a loss, anxious and excited, stammering, “Um, that, that Huang, Lord Huang Long, no, Senior Huang Long, I, I!” Eventually, Huang Long’s figure disappeared, but he remained there, frozen. Since Huang Long had left, he could no longer experience the powerful strength of the peak of the Sacred Realm. He hurried after Huang Long. Before long, Huang Fei caught up from behind. But when he reached Huang Long’s side, his expression changed, and he didn’t dare speak. He bent slightly, not daring to breathe loudly. Before this, he had thought of himself as Huang Long’s future son-in-law, but now he wouldn’t dare even think such a thing. At the memory of his previous thoughts, Huang Fei broke into cold sweat. “Senior Huang Long!” Finally, Huang Fei mustered the courage to speak, his voice full of unease. Huang Long, however, remained calm, turning slightly with a smile and asking, “What is it?”

“I, I!” Huang Fei originally wanted to express his gratitude to Huang Long, but he didn’t know how to speak when the words reached his lips.
Huang Long understood what Huang Fei was thinking and smiled, saying, “There’s no need to thank me. Now, do you have confidence?”
Huang Fei was stunned for a moment before realizing Huang Long was referring to becoming the family head. Suddenly going from a mid-level eighth-grade warrior to a peak powerhouse of the Holy Land, Huang Fei, looking at Huang Long’s encouraging gaze, felt filled with ambition and loudly replied, “Yes, Senior Huang Long!” He almost patted his chest to assure him.
Huang Long nodded.
Encouraged by this, Huang Fei followed closely behind Huang Long.
“Father!” Just as Huang Fei was trailing behind, Huang Yi, who had come from her courtyard to the hall, saw her father following Huang Long with a flattering expression and bowed low. She exclaimed in shock, even rubbing her eyes exaggeratedly.
“Father, you?!” After confirming she hadn’t seen wrong, Huang Yi pointed at her father, furious and not knowing what to say. Even if she really wanted him to become her son-in-law, there was no need to flatter him so much!
Huang Fei ignored his daughter’s thoughts, fearing she might say something unpleasant that would offend “Senior Huang Long,” and quickly said, “What ‘you’? Be respectful! Can’t you see Senior Huang Long? Show him respect!”
Huang Yi was taken aback by her father’s sudden words. Her face turned red—yesterday it was “Lord Huang Long,” and today it was already “Senior Huang Long”!
But seeing her father’s serious expression, she could only grit her teeth in anger, stamp her foot, and turn away.
Huang Fei called out a few times, but to no avail.
“Well, Senior Huang Long, this girl Yi has been spoiled by me. Please don’t blame her!” Huang Fei turned to Huang Long and said carefully.
Huang Long waved his hand and smiled, saying, “It’s fine. Miss Huang Yi is gentle and kind-hearted. Seeing her reminds me of my fourth sister. Her name is the same as mine—she’s also named Huang Yi.”
“Also named Huang Yi?” Huang Fei was surprised.
After a while, the two arrived at the hall. By then, all the senior stewards of the household had gathered. This time, as Huang Fei went to Dragon God Peak for the family assembly, several senior stewards would accompany him.
In the hall, upon seeing the two arrive, Huang Yi glared at her father and then looked at Huang Long strangely. Thinking of what her father had said the previous day, she felt uneasy. At that moment, Huang Long glanced over, and Huang Yi quickly averted her gaze, her face turning red.

Once everything was ready, Huang Fei and some senior attendants staying in the mansion gave some instructions before setting off. However, those senior attendants also had strange looks in their eyes as they watched Huang Fei bowing and flattering Huang Long.

It would take three days for Huang Fei and his companions to travel from Qingfeng Town to Dragon God Peak at their current speed. Along the way, Huang Long inquired about the situation of artifact crafting and potion-making in the Hengyuan Realm. From Huang Fei’s account, Huang Long learned that potion makers were divided into ten ranks, from first-class potions to tenth-class potions, with the ranks determined by the Potion Masters Guild. The same applied to artifact craftsmen. However, once any profession reached level ten, the practitioner would be granted a divine title. For example, a level-10 potion maker was called a Divine Potion Master, while a level-10 artifact craftsman was called a Divine Artisan.

“A Divine Artisan?” Huang Long couldn’t help but recall how, back in the Hengyuan Realm, he had been given the title of Divine Artisan after auctioning a magic sword he had crafted. He was only over six years old at that time! Of course, as a quasi-saint, Huang Long naturally couldn’t participate in such mortal competitions in artifact crafting or potion-making. He went there with an observer’s mindset.

“Moreover, it’s time to change the head of the family!” Huang Feng and Huang Heng had actually allowed their younger cousin Long Xiaotian to oppress their own clan members, allowing Long Xiaotian to act recklessly within the Huang family. Since Huang Long encountered him upon returning, he naturally intended to put things right. Although the descendants of the Dragon God Family had all changed their surname to Long, they sometimes still used the Huang surname, like Huang Feng and Huang Heng.

“I heard Long Xiaotian is also participating in this potion-making competition!” Huang Yi said, her expression angry when mentioning Long Xiaotian.

Huang Long asked with interest, “What’s Long Xiaotian’s level in potion-making?”

“He’s a level-6 potion maker,” Huang Yi replied, though her tone sounded somewhat disheartened upon saying that. After all, no matter how worthless, despicable, or vile Long Xiaotian might be, the fact remained that his potion-making skills were higher than hers. Long Xiaotian was the favorite grandson of the previous family head, Huang Feng, and the Dragon God Family had nurtured him diligently, so it wasn’t surprising that he had become a level-6 potion maker at the age of 25. Although Huang Yi had greater talent, her opportunities for training were far inferior.

Three days later, Huang Long and his group finally arrived at Dragon God Peak.

“Oh, isn’t that Brother Huang Fei? It’s been years—you’ve grown even more impressive!” Just as everyone was heading toward Dragon City on Dragon God Peak, a sudden voice rang out. Looking over, they saw a group of over a dozen people approaching. The leader was a middle-aged man with a somewhat bluish-black left eye.

“That’s the green-eyed wolf from Qinglang Town!” Huang Yi whispered to Huang Long.

The ruler of Qinglang Town, nicknamed the Green-Eyed Wolf, was one of the lackeys under Lord Long Xiaotian, as Huang Long heard from Huang Yi on the road.
