Chapter 0359: There Should Be No More Secrets Left

As Kennedy and Bishop entered the Tianlong Space, they, just like Donald before them, were shocked by the abnormal conditions there.
“Search!” Kennedy ordered immediately. “Find the Ten of Huanghai first!”
The Ten of Huanghai, having entered Tianlong Space, could not send any messages outside. Fortunately, Kennedy and the others could sense their approximate location.
“Yes, Clan Leader!” Seeing the increasingly intense sword energy filling the space, Bishop and Donald realized the seriousness of the situation. They replied respectfully before rushing off in different directions.
A while later, Bishop saw his grandson Fei De continuously exerting divine power to sustain the spatial domain and counter the overwhelming sword energy.
“Grandpa!” Fei De was overjoyed to see Bishop.
“Fei De, what’s going on?” Bishop felt relieved to see his grandson unharmed and asked.
“I… I don’t know either, Grandpa,” Fei De replied with a pained expression. “I woke up like this two months ago.” He then recounted what had happened.
“Two months ago?” Bishop frowned, lost in thought.
“Grandpa…” After a while, Fei De spoke up as the sword energy around them grew more violent.
Bishop snapped out of his thoughts and said, “Let’s leave first. This is strange. We’ll discuss it later.” With that, he and Fei De transformed into two streams of light and flew swiftly to other corners of Tianlong Space.
It wasn’t long before Kennedy, Bishop, and Donald gathered again, followed by Fei De, Harris, Spindu, and nine other disciples.
“Clan Leader, can’t you sense Huanghai’s location either?!” Donald asked, seeing that Fei De and the other nine disciples had been found. Not long after they set out to search for the disciples, Donald lost track of Huanghai’s location. He thought Kennedy and Bishop must have found him, but it seemed not.
Kennedy frowned. “So, you can’t sense it either?” He then turned toward the northeast. “Strange. Can you guys sense it?”
Bishop and Donald nodded, also looking solemnly in that direction. Just then, a powerful surge of pure dragon energy flickered briefly before disappearing.
That powerful surge of pure dragon energy was nearly at the peak of a mid-tier god’s strength.
“Could it be Huanghai?” Donald asked.

In the Tianlong Space, aside from those present, only Huang Hai was there. Yet he soon grew puzzled—Huang Hai only possessed the strength of a mid-stage High God, which seemed inconsistent. “Let’s go take a look,” Kennedy said immediately, then flashed off in that direction. Bishop, Donald, and the other nine disciples followed closely behind. As they drew nearer, they felt the blade-like energy and light in the surrounding space becoming increasingly fierce and terrifying. Eventually, they saw that these blade-like energies were no longer scattered but filled everything! Wherever the spatial currents flowed, there were these blade-like energies. Moreover, as they got closer, an inexplicable pressure began to emanate. Kennedy and the others didn’t feel much, but the disciples felt a sense of oppression in their chests. Suddenly, two dragon roars resounded throughout the Tianlong Space. Everyone looked in shock and was stunned by what they saw. Two colossal dragons of water and fire were soaring upward from below, their bodies entwined as pure dragon energy surged like waves, with lightning clouds flashing around them. Below the entwined dragons sat a figure with a blurred face, surrounded by golden clouds. These clouds encircled the figure, and the blade-like energies had become even more terrifying—no longer just energy but actual storm-like blades. “Is this… Huang Hai?!” Donald exclaimed after a while, stunned and unsure. Kennedy, Bishop, and the nine disciples continued to stare at the figure beneath the water and fire dragons. No one answered Donald’s question, as they were equally puzzled, shocked, and unable to believe it. But who else could be in this Tianlong Space besides them? Huang Hai! “Then… could this state of the Tianlong Space be caused by Huang Hai?!” Fedd exclaimed in shock, a thought flashing through his mind, his expression changing drastically. The other disciples were also stunned, their expressions shifting, and they looked at the figure strangely. Kennedy, Bishop, and Donald’s eyes flickered as well. “Elder, what secret technique is this Huang Hai practicing? How could absorbing and integrating the dragon energy of the Tianlong Space create such a massive impact?!” Donald asked. Kennedy frowned, shook his head, and fell into deep thought. Although he was a High God at the highest level and the longest-lived person in the Runing family aside from the Supreme God, he too was unaware of the secret technique practiced by this Huang Hai’s disciple.

However, though he wasn’t sure, he knew of the horror of this secret technique—after all, he sensed that all the Dragon Origin energy in the entire Tianlong Space seemed to be converging here, with these energies vying with each other in a race to stay ahead!
“This Huang Hai truly is unexpected—bringing me so many surprises!” Kennedy felt a mix of emotions: joy, admiration, relief, and even a hint of envy.
Huang Hai, time and again, had shown such remarkable abilities. Though Kennedy was a Supreme God at the highest level, he couldn’t help but feel some envy—this was only human.
“But there shouldn’t be any more secrets about Huang Hai, right?” Kennedy thought to himself.
This was already enough to shock him. If there were more secrets or more surprises, he might not be able to bear it.
“Elder, Huang Hai is now drawing all the Dragon Origin energy in the Tianlong Space to himself, causing such drastic changes that other disciples can’t absorb or integrate it. Should we go up and stop him?” asked the Grand Elder Bishop at that moment.
Donald couldn’t help but say, “Grand Elder Bishop, if we do that, what about Huang Hai? Interfering might cause the Dragon Origin energy to backfire on him. If his cultivation level drops significantly as a result, it could even affect his future training. Who will take responsibility for that?!”
Bishop’s expression darkened. “So are we supposed to let Huang Hai continue like this? Everyone knows how important the Tianlong Space is to the Luning family. If things keep going this way, the Tianlong Space might even collapse. Who will take responsibility for that?! And are we supposed to let all the other disciples suffer because of him?”
Before Donald could speak again, Kennedy raised his hand to interrupt their argument. “Enough.”
Donald had no choice but to stop.
“Huang Hai absorbing and integrating the Dragon Origin energy is his opportunity,” Kennedy said. “As Elder Donald said, if we intervene, the backlash from the Dragon Origin energy will harm him. As for the other disciples’ cultivation, I’ll provide additional rewards.”
Bishop couldn’t help but say, “But what about the Tianlong Space?”
“The Tianlong Space has existed since before the birth of the Luning family. No matter how much trouble Huang Hai causes, nothing will happen to the Tianlong Space,” Kennedy interrupted. “If anything really goes wrong, I’ll take responsibility then.”

Bishop didn’t expect Kennedy to defend Huang Hai so strongly. But upon thinking of Huang Hai having eight divine avatars, he could only reluctantly show respect. Since Kennedy had spoken thus, it was better not to say anything else—otherwise, it would be defiance against Kennedy and a grave offense.

“You all have no objections to my decision?” Kennedy turned to Fei De, Harris, and the other nine and asked.

Fei De, Harris, and the others dared not express any objections and quickly replied respectfully. Even if they had objections, they could only swallow them. Fei De felt even more displeased.

Seeing Kennedy’s decision, Donald felt relieved. If Kennedy also agreed with Bishop’s approach, then he could do nothing.

However, it was clear that Kennedy placed great importance on Huang Hai, willing to risk affecting the Tianlong Space in order to allow Huang Hai to continue absorbing and integrating dragon energy.

Kennedy’s decision was final.

Everyone harbored their own thoughts, staring at the figure ahead with complex expressions.

As Huang Long absorbed more and more dragon energy, more and more golden clouds gathered around it, spreading over hundreds of thousands of miles of space. Eventually, a golden sea of clouds formed, engulfing Huang Long’s figure.

High above the golden sea, only the Water and Fire Dragons continued to coil and move around.

Suddenly, the golden sea began to churn violently, as if hiding some terrifying creature. Hidden auras emanated from within, followed by a thunderous dragon roar. Before everyone’s astonished eyes, a five-clawed golden dragon appeared.

With the appearance of the golden dragon, the golden sea became even more turbulent.

“Is this… Huang Hai’s true dragon form?!” Seeing the golden dragon reappear, Kennedy’s eyes widened in shock. Huang Hai’s true dragon form was different from theirs—was it related to its eight divine avatars? Or some other reason?

Bishop, Donald, and the others also had their own thoughts.

After a while, Huang Long retracted its dragon form and took on a human shape, and the entire Tianlong Space gradually calmed down.

“This? Late-stage Golden Immortal?!” Feeling the immense power within him, Huang Long was overjoyed. He had broken through from mid-stage Golden Immortal to late-stage Golden Immortal?! How was that possible? Then, Huang Long realized that the dragon blood crystal he had integrated in the Giant Dragon Mountains was almost completely fused with his true body.

As expected! Huang Long thought to himself. The dragon energy stimulated the dragon power contained in the dragon blood crystal, and their interaction led to his breakthrough!

Otherwise, Huang Long would know that even though this Dragon Origin energy was beneficial for his cultivation, it was impossible for him to make a breakthrough.
“Huang Hai, you actually made a breakthrough? To the peak of the Mid-Level God?!”, Donald’s astonished voice rang out.
Kennedy and the others flew over.
