Chapter 0726: Yellow Dragon Enters Seclusion

Yellow Dragon stared at the Xuanhuang Holy Maiden before him, his eyes narrowing.
This Xuanhuang Holy Maiden had always given him a strange feeling. He vaguely sensed that she was related to his future breakthrough to the peak of Quasi-Sainthood and his attainment of Hunyuan!
“What are your plans?” Yellow Dragon took his gaze off her and turned to ask Livia.
“In a hundred years, when we compete for control of the Hongmeng Continent, I’ll go to the Hongmeng Realm with you. Then we can try to unite with the clan leader and Huoyang to see if the three of us can break free from the restrictions within this Xuanhuang Holy Maiden’s body. During these hundred years, I also need to prepare some materials for alchemy!” Livia said.
Yellow Dragon nodded.
The Xuanhuang River, the Beast Emperor Pearl, the Holy Light Stone, and the Xuanhuang bloodline were among the main materials needed to craft Xuanhuang Pills. However, aside from these three primary ingredients, many other materials were required.
Of course, although the other materials were hard to find, the Silver Fox Mountain faction should be able to obtain them.
Yellow Dragon thought of something and then asked, “How is Vitya now?”
Livia smiled beautifully as she looked at Yellow Dragon and teased, “What? Thinking of the beautiful woman you brought back? Don’t worry—your younger sister Huang Yi is keeping her company. I think your parents really like this daughter-in-law!”
Yellow Dragon didn’t seem to notice the teasing in her words and smiled, “Is that so? But I think my parents and my sister also like you quite a bit!”
“You!” Unexpecting Yellow Dragon to tease her back, Livia glared at him before suddenly smiling coquettishly, “Yes, then marry me?! To fulfill what your parents desire!”
Yellow Dragon cleared his throat and changed the subject.
After chatting for a while, Livia left.
Watching Livia’s graceful steps, swaying waist, and alluring figure as she walked away, Yellow Dragon shook his head.
Since there was still nearly a hundred years before the day to compete for control of the Hongmeng Continent in the Hongmeng Realm, Yellow Dragon could only wait. The next day, he discussed some matters with everyone and began to enter seclusion for cultivation.
Although he had been in this Hongmeng world for over a hundred thousand years, relatively speaking, the time this body had spent rebuilding its strength was too short! Currently, though Yellow Dragon had reached the realm of “Slicing Two Corpses,” the magical power of this body was not yet sufficient to support such a feat. Therefore, he needed to make good use of these hundred years to cultivate and enhance his magical power.
Moreover, before obtaining the Heavenly Cauldron, he had to fully refine the Earthly Cauldron first, so that it would be easier to merge the two once he got the Heavenly Cauldron.
As spring gave way to autumn, a year passed.

There was no movement in the secret chamber where Huang Long was in seclusion. Two years, three years—before long, ten years had passed. One day, outside Huang Long’s seclusion chamber, sitting on a stone chair, Huang Yi propped her chin in her hand and said gloomily, “Sigh, my second brother is in seclusion again. This time, it might really take a hundred years before he comes out?! It’s so boring; no one’s around to play with me.”

Vitya, sitting next to Huang Yi, smiled and said, “Who said there’s no one to play with you? It’s just that you feel bored.” Hearing the implication in Vitya’s words, Huang Yi pouted and said, “That wooden fool! Being with him is so boring. Forget about him!”

“Is that so?” Vitya laughed. Then, she glanced behind Huang Yi and said, “Your wooden fool is coming!”

Huang Yi turned around and saw Li Yifeng approaching from afar.

“Yi’er, so you’re here with Vitya. Let’s go; we’ll take a walk by Tianhai,” Li Yifeng said as he walked over.

Tianhai was one of the most beautiful scenic spots in Silver Fox Mountain.

“Great!” Huang Yi stood up eagerly. But as soon as she spoke, she remembered what she had just said. Looking at Vitya, who was smiling at her, she blushed and quickly pulled Li Yifeng away.

Seeing this, Vitya shook her head. Watching Huang Yi and Li Yifeng leave together, she sighed with envy and murmured, “I wonder when I’ll be able to do the same!” Then, she glanced at Huang Long’s seclusion chamber.

A while later, Vitya’s expression grew somber. Ten years had passed since she left Tianlong Mountain. In the span of a blink, ten years had gone by. During these ten years, Tianlong Mountain had tried several times to take people from Silver Fox Mountain, and her father, Opot, along with Keller, had even personally attacked Silver Fox Mountain. Yet none of them were able to break through the grand formation Huang Long had set up there.

Over the past ten years, the distance between her and her father, Opot, had grown wider and wider. During those years, when her father came to demand her return, she had tried to compromise with him—offering to go back if she wasn’t forced to marry Keller. But the outcome was predictable. Every time she made this request, her father, Opot, would become furious, as if he wanted to kill her with his own hands.

What exactly had led their father-daughter relationship to this point?!

Whenever Vitya thought about it, tears welled in her eyes. She loved her father very much, but now, she even began to hate him. And her father, Opot, only felt hatred toward her!

“Big Brother Huang Long, what should I do?!” Vitya said to herself, tears streaming down her face.

During her ten years on Silver Fox Mountain, although everyone was kind to her and she always smiled in front of them, she was actually very fragile when alone.
“I heard that Father Opot took his anger out on Sabrine, and she died a horrible death!” Vitiya couldn’t help but think of her maid Sabrine. Though Sabrine was her maid, she was like a sister to her. After so many years together, leaving now meant they would be separated forever.
Meanwhile, inside his secluded chamber, Huang Long was practicing the “Water-Fire Dual Dragon Technique.” He had transformed into a coiled five-clawed golden dragon, with golden clouds swirling around him. With each breath of Huang Long’s, the space around him trembled.
Ten years had passed. The wounds inflicted on Huang Long by the Cambrian Sacred Beast and the Four Divine Beasts during the battle for the Heavenly Sacred Cauldron in the River of Black and Yellow had fully healed. From within the golden clouds, beams of green light continued to emerge—these were the life forces of the World Tree.
And so, year after year passed as he continued his cultivation. Twenty years, thirty years, fifty years, ninety years!
Over these ninety years, the Chaos Divine Realm hadn’t changed much. Although mountains like Tianlong Mountain kept causing trouble for Silver Fox Mountain, Silver Fox Mountain, thanks to the grand array set up by Huang Long, managed to withstand them.
After ninety years, Huang Long’s reputation hadn’t diminished due to his seclusion; on the contrary, it grew even stronger over time.
Several more years passed.
One day, the weather on Silver Fox Mountain was pleasant and sunny. Suddenly, a thunderous dragon roar echoed through the air, causing the entire mountain to shake. All the deities on Silver Fox Mountain looked in one direction and saw a towering phantom of a celestial dragon rising into the sky.
