Chapter 0727: Preparing to Head to the Hongmeng Realm
Above the Silver Fox Palace, over a dozen figures stood—Riviera, Susan, Vitya, and the members of the Huang family.
“The master is finally about to emerge from seclusion!” Pi Long Zerom exclaimed in delight as he gazed at the celestial dragon silhouette high in the sky.
Staying inside Silver Fox Mountain all these days had bored him to death.
No sooner had Pi Long Zerom finished speaking than another dragon roar was heard, followed by violent tremors in space. Waves of terrifying dragon power pressed down on everyone. Except for Riviera and the two divine kings, Fire Yang, everyone else stepped back in shock.
At that moment, a golden pillar shot upward from the distant sky, accompanied by a towering five-clawed golden dragon.
Seeing this dragon, everyone felt joy. Those who knew the Yellow Dragon well understood that this was its true form.
As the golden dragon appeared, golden clouds instantly spread, covering the entire upper sky of Silver Fox Mountain. The whole mountain was enveloped in a golden glow.
After a while, the golden clouds gradually dissipated, the five-clawed dragon vanished, revealing a human figure.
“Second brother!”
“Lord Yellow Dragon!”
“Master!”
Everyone rushed over eagerly, filled with joy.
The Yellow Dragon flew toward them and nodded with a smile. After nearly a hundred years of seclusion, its magical power had improved slightly. Though not significantly, it still pleased the Yellow Dragon. Reaching its current level meant that even the slightest increase in power was hard to achieve.
Of course, over these past hundred years, the Yellow Dragon had continuously consumed the elixirs it had refined, which contributed to this improvement.
However, the Yellow Dragon knew that its current power was still far from enough to defeat those two enemies.
“I’ll have to think of another way then!” it thought to itself.
For now, the most important thing was to obtain that Heavenly Cauldron!
“You’re even more popular here in Silver Fox Mountain than I am!” the Yellow Dragon thought, then said smilingly to Riviera, who had joined them.
Hearing this, the Yellow Dragon asked, “What about once we leave Silver Fox Mountain?”
Riviera gave a charming smile but said nothing.
“Second brother, since you’re going to the Hongmeng Realm this time, you must take me with you!” Huang Yi interjected.
“Take you with me?!” The Yellow Dragon frowned. His goal of going to the Hongmeng Realm was to compete for the Heavenly Cauldron. If the elders of Silver Fox Mountain participated and were discovered by Felix and the Lei Peng clan, it would be dangerous. So, he hadn’t planned to take the Huang family with him.
“Second brother, if I’m going, please take me!” Huang Yi pleaded, holding onto the Yellow Dragon’s hand.
At that moment, Huang Liang also spoke up, “Second brother, just take us with you. We promise to behave well and cause no trouble. Besides, we’re now all Supreme Divine Powerhouses—no one except the Divine King can hurt us!”
Huang Long felt a headache; these two little guys had always been persistent like this.
Huang Long glanced at Huang Xiong and Zhao Rong, but Zhao Rong said, “Long, since they want to go, take them along and show them around.”
Huang Long was surprised; he hadn’t expected his mother to agree to let them accompany him to the Hongmeng Realm.
Huang Long pondered for a moment and said, “Alright, but this time when we go to the Hongmeng Realm, if any problems arise, you must not act on your own—everything must follow my instructions!” As the two said, they were now also Supreme Divine Powerhouses; no one except the Divine King could harm them. As long as they didn’t cause trouble, it was fine to take them along.
Hearing Huang Long agree, Huang Yi and Huang Liang cheered joyfully.
Huang Long shook his head.
When Huang Yi and Huang Liang expressed their desire to go to the Hongmeng Realm, Susan and Vitya beside them also opened their mouths, with expressions similar to those of Huang Yi and Huang Liang.
Seeing their expressions, Huang Yi had an idea and said, “Second brother, why not take Susan and Sister Vitya too? It’ll be more lively with more people!”
Huang Long glanced at Susan and Vitya and shook his head, saying, “This trip to the Hongmeng Realm isn’t for fun. If Felix and the others find out my identity, it will be very dangerous!”
Although Huang Long didn’t say it outright, everyone understood what he meant.
Hearing this, Susan and Vitya’s hopeful eyes dimmed.
“Second brother, you!” Huang Yi pouted.
Huang Long raised his hand and said, “Enough, no need to discuss this further!”
Seeing Huang Long’s firm tone, Huang Yi knew his second brother had made up his mind. She shook her head at Susan and Vitya, indicating she couldn’t help.
Livia pondered, “There are still three years before the next competition in the Hongmeng Realm to determine control over the Hongmeng Continent. Should we go now or wait a bit longer?!”
Huang Long thought for a moment and said, “Let’s set off tomorrow!”
Although there were still three years left, going earlier would allow them to prepare sooner and gather more information.
Livia nodded. Over the years, she had almost collected all the materials needed to refine the Xuanhuang Pill—only two materials were missing. These two materials could only be found in the Hongmeng Realm, so she also planned to go early to try to gather them all before the competition.
Thus, the group decided to set off for the Hongmeng Realm the next day.
Since Huang Long and the others were leaving Silver Fox Mountain to head to the Hongmeng Realm the next day, Livya held a banquet in the Silver Fox Palace that day for everyone to chat together. After the banquet, Huang Long went to the palace where Vitya lived. “Still thinking about today’s events?!” Huang Long said upon arriving, seeing Vitya sitting alone in the courtyard, looking gloomy. Vitya snapped out of her thoughts, quickly stood up, looking somewhat flustered, and said, “No, not at all, Brother Huang Long!” Huang Long stepped closer and said, “This journey is dangerous, that’s why.” “I understand. Brother Huang Long is doing this for our own good,” Vitya replied immediately. Huang Long nodded, seeing sadness flash in Vitya’s eyes from time to time. He sighed inwardly. From his younger sister Huang Yi, he had learned about Vitya’s experiences with Tianlong Mountain over the years. “You’ve gone through a lot these years!” Huang Long said, looking at Vitya’s somewhat gaunt cheeks. Compared to when she left Tianlong Mountain a hundred years ago, Vitya had become much thinner. Though she appeared cheerful on the surface, her sorrow was evident, making her pitiable. Hearing this, Vitya bit her lip, shook her head, and said with bright eyes, “I’m fine, Brother Huang Long.” After a pause, she added, “Brother Huang Long, I have a request.” “Speak,” said Huang Long. “If Brother Huang Long can reach the Divine King realm, I hope you can spare my father in the future!” After saying this, Vitya raised her head and stared intently at Huang Long. Seeing Vitya’s hopeful expression, Huang Long thought for a moment before saying, “I won’t kill your father!” That was the best promise he could make. As for whether he would spare Opot if he reached the peak of Quasi-Saint status… Of course, sparing Opot didn’t mean Huang Long wouldn’t punish him!
