Chapter 1073: The whereabouts of the Hongmeng Holy King

Wu Feng spans over a dozen divine realms in the Xuanyang Great World, including high-level, mid-level, and even low-level divine realms. At the base of Wu Feng lie low-level divine realms inhabited by mortals, while high-level divine realms are located at its peak. There are three high-level divine realms at the top of Wu Feng, and the direct descendants of the Wu Sect reside in these three realms.

Huang Long arrived at the peak of Wu Feng and swiftly entered one of the high-level divine realms named Xuanguang. As Huang Long knew, the cave where Wu Zhong practiced was located in this Xuanguang divine realm. After arriving at Wu Zhong’s practice cave, Huang Long immediately searched the memories of the boys guarding it.

“Hm? Listening to the teachings in the Wu Sect’s sacred hall?!” Huang Long frowned. From the memories of these boys, he learned that Wu Zhong had returned from the outside world but was now listening to Wu Tian’s teachings in the Wu Sect’s sacred hall. A cold glint appeared in Huang Long’s eyes—it seemed Wu Tian wanted to force him to meet up! Originally, Huang Long wouldn’t have met Wu Tian unless it was absolutely necessary.

“Since that’s the case, I’ll go meet you and see what tricks you have up your sleeve!” Huang Long sneered. With that, he dashed off toward the Wu Sect’s sacred hall.

This Wu Sect’s sacred hall, like Pangu Hongjun’s Zixiao Palace, was located beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens. Outside the sacred hall, chaotic and violent winds roared incessantly, with primordial divine winds howling nonstop. Huang Long broke through these chaotic winds and arrived at the Wu Sect’s sacred hall.

“Huang Long, you’ve finally arrived!” As Huang Long entered the sacred hall, suddenly, a flash of light appeared inside, and three figures emerged. All three were Hunyuan Saints, with the middle one being Wu Tian of the Wu Sect.

“Huang Long, let me introduce you to the leaders of our Xuanyang Great World—the Xuan Sect and the Confucian Sect!” After appearing, Wu Tian pointed to the two people beside him and smiled at Huang Long.

The leaders of the Xuan Sect and the Confucian Sect?! Huang Long’s eyes narrowed.

“Brother Huang Long’s name has been widely known these days. It’s truly remarkable to meet you in person!” The leader of the Xuan Sect, Xuan Saint, smiled at Huang Long. The leader of the Confucian Sect, Confucian Saint, also wore a smiling expression. All three appeared friendly, as if they had been waiting specifically for Huang Long’s arrival.

“Wu Tian, stop pretending to be friendly. Tell me, where is the Red Fire Mass Stone? And where are Long Cheng and Long Fa Yi?” Huang Long didn’t come here to forge friendships; he spoke coldly.

Wu Tian and the others’ smiles froze.

“The Red Fire Mass Stone is indeed in our hands!” Wu Tian then sneered.

Huang Long remained indifferent: “What do you want?”

Since Wu Tian and the others had lured him here, they surely had their own motives.

Wu Tian was momentarily stunned before smiling and saying, “Good. Since you’ve put it that way, let’s be straightforward too. Huang Long, at the Golden Dragon Holy Temple, I heard you exchanged a sacred spiritual vein for quite a lot of Wanlu Divine Water from the other saints. Coincidentally, the three of us are in urgent need of Wanlu Divine Water recently, so we’d like to borrow some from you!”
“Borrow some Wanlu Divine Water?” At this point, Huang Long understood.
“Oh, I wonder how much you need?” Huang Long asked indifferently, looking at the three of them.
Wu Tian smiled and raised a finger. “Not much. One hundred drops each!”
One hundred drops per person—three hundred in total!
These three from the Wu Sect really had big appetites!
You see, Huang Long had exchanged one sacred spiritual vein for ten drops of Wanlu Divine Water. Three hundred drops meant thirty sacred spiritual veins!
“Borrow three hundred drops?” Huang Long’s expression remained indifferent as he sneered, “When will you return them? What will you use to pay back?”
“Hahaha!” Suddenly, Xuan Sheng, the leader of the Spinning Gate Sect, and Ru Sheng, the leader of the Confucian Sect, burst into laughter.
“Huang Long, when will you return them? Of course, we will return them. Once we’ve gathered enough Wanlu Divine Water in the future, we’ll definitely give it back to you!” Xuan Sheng said after stopping laughing.
Huang Long sneered, “So, that means you intend to borrow without returning?”
Ten drops of Wanlu Divine Water had been painstakingly gathered by each of the saints. If these three from the Spinning Gate Sect wanted to gather one hundred drops to repay, it would take who knows how many eras.
“It can be said that way, or not. Anyway, it doesn’t matter what you say!” Ru Sheng sneered. “Just hand over the Wanlu Divine Water. Three hundred drops—we don’t want more. We know you exchanged over 1,500 drops at the Golden Dragon Holy Temple. Three hundred drops is just a small amount for you!”
Huang Long sneered, “It seems I won’t be able to leave the Xuanhuang Great World unless I hand over those three hundred drops of Wanlu Divine Water?”
At that moment, Wu Tian raised his hand to stop Xuan Sheng and Ru Sheng, smiling and saying, “Huang Long, there’s no need to get angry. It’s just three hundred drops of Wanlu Divine Water.” After a pause, he added, “Besides the three hundred drops, we also need some sacred spiritual veins.”
“Sacred spiritual veins?” Huang Long sneered, “I wonder how many you need?”
Wu Tian smiled and said, “Not many. Twenty each!”
Twenty per person—sixty in total!
Sixty sacred spiritual veins!
That was double the previous three hundred drops of Wanlu Divine Water!
Huang Long sneered, “Sixty? Indeed, not many. I have the Chaos Bell, the Heaven and Earth Holy Cauldron, and the Spirit-Connecting Jade. I wonder if the three of you also want to borrow those?”

The Confucian Sage laughed heartily: “Huang Long, with the help of the Chaos Bell, the Heavenly and Earthly Sacred Cauldron, and the Spirit-Connecting Jade, you’ve built up great fortune and strength, rising rapidly until you finally achieved sainthood. You’ve used these three sacred artifacts for so long—shouldn’t you let us use them too?” At that moment, the three of them openly revealed their intentions. Hearing this, Huang Long wasn’t angered at all. “Now that you mention it, I’m also interested in your Martial Image Pagoda, the Heavenly Spinning Sword, and the Map of All Confucian Saints. I’d like to borrow them as well!” Huang Long said indifferently. The Martial Image Pagoda, the Heavenly Spinning Sword, and the Map of All Confucian Saints were sacred artifacts used by the three of Wu Tian. Wu Tian was stunned for a moment before sneering, “Huang Long, don’t think just because you have the Golden Dragon Clan and the Mighty Dragon World backing you that we won’t dare do anything to you. I advise you to be sensible and hand over the 300 drops of Divine Water of Ten Thousand Luo, the 60 sacred spirit veins, the Chaos Bell, the Heavenly and Earthly Sacred Cauldron, and the Spirit-Connecting Jade!” “Otherwise!” Wu Tian’s eyes flashed coldly. “We’ll seal you and your teacher inside the Mirror of Ten Thousand Souls!” Teacher… the Holy King of Hongmeng?! The Mirror of Ten Thousand Souls! Huang Long’s eyes sharpened, his gaze like a blade. So, his teacher, the Holy King of Hongmeng, was sealed inside the Mirror of Ten Thousand Souls? This mirror was a sacred artifact born alongside the Xuanyang World, controlled by the Holy Lord of Xuanyang. “Oh, then I really want to see how you plan to seal me inside that mirror!” Huang Long sneered again. Clouds gathered above his head, and the Chaos Bell instantly appeared above Xuan Sheng’s head, crashing down with force. The three of Wu Tian hadn’t expected Huang Long to dare act. Seeing the countless Chaos Stars and Thunder bolts rolling down from the Chaos Bell, Xuan Sheng roared in fury, “You don’t know your place! Since you want to die, we’ll fulfill your wish!”
