Chapter 0696: The Opening of the River of Xuanyan and Huang

The biggest difference was the excited and unusual atmosphere in every place they passed through!
And what caused this excited and unusual atmosphere was one person—a person who had been the subject of much discussion and legend in the Chaos Divine Realm lately. That person was Huang Long!
Huang Long! At first, the Fire Sun Divine King thought the dark-haired young man standing before him was a different person, just sharing the same name.
The more he heard about Huang Long’s deeds in the Chaos Divine Realm over the years, the greater his shock became, eventually reaching a state of utter astonishment.
What shocked the Fire Sun Divine King the most was the fact that Hibere, Leo, and Opotra had joined forces to attack Silver Fox Mountain only to flee in defeat!
“To trap three great divine kings and dozens of supreme divine warriors at once using array restrictions!” Upon hearing this news, the Fire Sun Divine King gasped. After confirming the truth several times, he unconsciously kept some distance from Huang Long.
Also, after learning that Huang Long had used array restrictions to trap Hibere and the others, the Fire Sun Divine King once again summoned the Tianyou Tree to study its restrictions.
Previously, although he found the restrictions mysterious and was surprised, his shock gradually turned into awe and panic as he delved deeper into them.
Thus, even before returning to Silver Fox Mountain, the Fire Sun Divine King’s attitude toward Huang Long changed once again.
Before entering the Chaos Divine Realm, the Fire Sun Divine King had always been curious about why Huang Long and Hibere were mortal enemies. Now, he finally understood—though these enemies weren’t just Hibere, but also Leo and Opotra!
After entering the Chaos Divine Realm, the Fire Sun Divine King spoke little. Hearing about Huang Long’s deeds, he tried several times to speak to him but ended up saying nothing.
Half a month later, Huang Long and the Fire Sun Divine King arrived at Silver Fox Mountain.
Huang Long’s return brought joy throughout Silver Fox Mountain.
Rivia, the Divine King of Silver Fox Mountain, even led everyone to welcome Huang Long from afar outside the mountain. Seeing the welcoming formation arranged by Rivia, the Fire Sun Divine King glanced at Huang Long once more.
In the Chaos Divine Realm, there were also many rumors about Huang Long and Rivia, the Divine King of Silver Fox Mountain. Their relationship was described as highly ambiguous in the realm. The Fire Sun Divine King had initially disbelieved these rumors, but now, after meeting Rivia, he believed them.
Because the way Rivia looked at Huang Long was different from others, carrying an indescribable meaning.
When the Fire Sun Divine King arrived, Rivia personally hosted a banquet to welcome him along with the elders of Silver Fox Mountain.
Rivia knew how important Huang Long was to the Fire Sun Divine King.
As night fell, the darkness was enchanting and serene.

Yellow Dragon stood in his own palace, gazing at the night sky in deep thought. With the Fire Sun Divine King willing to help, there would be no need to worry about the problems in the seventh layer of the Mysterious Yellow River—the Cambrian Abyss. So now, all that remained was to wait patiently for the Mysterious Yellow River to open.

A flash of light appeared in Yellow Dragon’s hand, revealing the sixth map of the Mysterious Yellow River. On the map, the shadow of the river in the center grew clearer with each appearance, and the intervals between flashes grew longer. Once it appeared on the map without disappearing again, the Mysterious Yellow River would open!

It had been five months since Yellow Dragon went to the Hongmeng Realm. Calculating roughly, there was about another month left.

At that moment, footsteps sounded behind him. Yellow Dragon retracted the map of the Mysterious Yellow River.

“What? Staring at the night sky again after returning?” A delicate voice rang out. It was naturally Divine Queen Livia.

Livia came to Yellow Dragon’s side, and he smelled a charming fragrance.

She stood very close, only an arm’s length away from him.

Yellow Dragon focused his mind and then asked, “Has there been any new development at Tianlong Mountain recently?!” He thought of Keller and Vitya’s wedding.

Five months had passed, so there were still seven months left.

Livia replied, “Nothing much. Just Keller busy preparing for the wedding. It seems he plans to make it a grand affair. He’s already sending wedding invitations to various forces. What? Caring about your little lover as soon as you return?” She pouted, her tone sounding somewhat jealous.

Yellow Dragon glanced at Livia. From the side, under the moonlight, Livia in her white dress appeared less alluring and more elegant and pure.

Livia turned her head slightly and continued, “But I heard that this time, Keller and Opot also invited Yi Dehai and Mu Li from Twin Ape Mountain!”

“Oh?” Yellow Dragon was intrigued. There was something hidden in Livia’s words—could it be that Yi Dehai and his wife had reached some agreement with Keller and Opot? Had they formed an alliance?!

“The opening of the Mysterious Yellow River means you should also be careful with Yi Dehai and his wife!” As if knowing Yellow Dragon’s thoughts, Livia said.

Yellow Dragon’s eyes sharpened. If Livia said so, did that mean Yi Dehai and his wife had truly allied with the three mountains of Tianlong Mountain?!

A cold glint appeared in Yellow Dragon’s eyes. It seemed Keller and the others had offered some conditions to win over Yi Dehai and his wife!

“Twin Ape Mountain!” Yellow Dragon thought to himself.

If that was indeed the case, then Yellow Dragon wouldn’t mind letting Twin Ape Mountain follow in the footsteps of Leipeng Mountain and destroy their lair!

“Well, I never expected that the Fire Sun Divine King would actually be the Chaos Fire Sun Stone from back then! But will this Fire Sun Divine King be reliable then?!” asked Livia at that moment.
Huang Long knew that Livia was worried that the Fire Sun Divine King might turn against them at the last moment.
“Don’t worry. There’s no problem with the Fire Sun Divine King—at least not until the Mysterious Yellow River disappears,” said Huang Long.
The Fire Sun Divine King had sworn by the name of the Primordial Lord, so he couldn’t go back on his word.
Huang Long briefly explained his plan to cooperate with the Fire Sun Divine King.
After hearing this, Livia finally felt relieved.
The next day, the sun was shining brightly. As dawn broke, his fourth sister Huang Yi rushed over with Susan. After finally sending them away, his third brother Huang Liang and Li Yifeng came over.
“Second brother, I heard that Vitiya from Tianlong Mountain is also my sister-in-law?!” said his third brother Huang Liang as soon as he arrived.
Huh?! Huang Long’s forehead furrowed.
Did Huang Liang mean that there were others besides Vitiya?!
Seeing Huang Long’s expression, Huang Liang laughed and said, “Second brother, don’t be shy—we already know.” He paused for a moment before raising his voice, “Damn it! That Keller has gone blind—how dare he eye my sister-in-law! I’ll crush his balls!”
“Exactly!” Li Yifeng added in support.
Before they could say more, Huang Long kicked them out of the palace courtyard and activated its array, finally silencing them.
In the days that followed, Huang Long rarely left his palace courtyard. With the Mysterious Yellow River about to open, he needed to prepare for any possible complications.
The Fire Sun Divine King, after arriving at Silver Fox Mountain, also rarely showed himself, staying in the palace courtyard arranged for him there.
Half a month passed. One day, while Huang Long was refining immortal pills, suddenly a beam of light burst out from the Five Prisons Divine Cauldron, causing it to shake violently.
What’s going on? Huang Long was shocked. With a thought, he summoned the Mysterious Yellow River Map from within the cauldron.
The entire map glowed brightly as it unfolded, filled with streams of colorful light. The Mysterious Yellow River at its center flickered erratically, and as the light shifted, its reflection became clearer and clearer, almost as if it were about to emerge from the map.
Finally, with a burst of light, the Mysterious Yellow River fully appeared within the map. It flowed endlessly, roaring with vigor. As Huang Long watched it, a profound sense arose deep within him.
At that moment, a figure flashed into the palace courtyard.

It was Divine Queen Livia who arrived.
“Yellow Dragon, the River of Xuankuang has opened!” said Divine Queen Livia upon arriving, unable to hide her excitement.
Yellow Dragon took a deep breath, nodded, and said, “Then let’s get ready. We’ll head to the River of Xuankuang shortly!”
Livia nodded firmly.
A while later, Yellow Dragon, Livia, and Divine King Huoyang gathered above Silver Fox Mountain. Behind them were the elders of Silver Fox Mountain, the members of the Huang family, Susan, Li Yifeng, and others.
“Dragon, be extremely careful!” Zhao Rong stepped forward, worried.
Considering the dangers, Yellow Dragon, Livia, and Divine King Huoyang went on this journey, while the members of the Huang family, Susan, Li Yifeng, and the elders of Silver Fox Mountain stayed behind.
Yellow Dragon nodded and said, “I know.” He gave Zhao Rong a reassuring look.
Although the journey to the River of Xuankuang was dangerous, what dangers hadn’t Yellow Dragon faced over the years?
“Uona!” Livia spoke up then.
Uona, the chief elder of Silver Fox Mountain, hurried forward and replied respectfully.
“While I’m away, you must protect Silver Fox Mountain well. When we return, there may be some matters we can’t decide on; you can consult Uncle Huang and Auntie!” Livia said.
Uona obediently agreed.
Yellow Dragon also gave some instructions to the members of the Huang family. Then, under everyone’s watchful eyes, the three of them turned into three streams of light and disappeared.
Susan watched Yellow Dragon’s retreating figure with a somewhat melancholic gaze.
“Sister-in-law, don’t worry. My second brother will be fine!” Huang Yi stepped closer and said with a playful smile.
Susan’s face turned red as she said, “You… calling him that will make him unhappy!”
Huang Yi laughed, “You don’t have to worry about that. Though he might not say it, I think he’s actually very happy.” With that, he whispered a few words in Susan’s ear, making her blush all the way to her neck. Before she could react, Huang Yi giggled and stepped back.
Li Yifeng approached Huang Yi and asked with a smile, “What were you two talking about just now?”
To his surprise, Huang Yi glared at him, “That’s something between women. Why are you, a man, meddling?” This left Li Yifeng feeling embarrassed.
Seeing this, everyone started laughing.
Meanwhile, after leaving Silver Fox Mountain, Yellow Dragon and the others followed the directions on the River of Xuankuang Map toward the Kale Continent. According to the map, the River of Xuankuang appeared at the easternmost part of the Kale Continent.
