Chapter 165: Promptly Arriving in Duanren Empire (2/2)
When he first attempted the separate summoning, both of his twin dragons appeared at once. Only with time and practice, over and over again, did he successfully control their appearance, whether it was summoning a single martial spirit or both of them together.
“Sovereign!” Seeing Huang Xiaolong had ended his practice, Zhao Shu and the rest flew over from where they were waiting.
Huang Xiaolong nodded, and then his voice grew serious: “Zhao Shu, Yu Ming, I have two internal force cultivation techniques that I made with some revisions; I’m willing to pass them to you, are you willing to cultivate them?”
Zhao Shu and Yu Ming blanked for a second and were flooded with joy while nodding their heads in unison to show their willingness to learn. Both knelt down to thank their Sovereign’s kindness.
Huang Xiaolong told them to get up and passed two different sets of cultivation techniques to Zhao Shu and Yu Ming.
The internal force cultivation techniques Huang Xiaolong passed to Zhao Shu and Yu Ming were things he had obtained by luck in his previous life on Earth. As a whole, these two cultivation techniques could not be compared to the Body Metamorphosis Scripture, but in some aspects they weren’t any worse either.
While passing an internal force cultivation technique to each of them, Huang Xiaolong explained the problems that might be difficult to understand during their cultivation. The two took everything he said with utmost seriousness.
It was a few hours later before the group of four continued their journey.
Three days passed in roughly the same manner.
For the past three days, Zhao Shu and Yu Ming practiced according to the internal force cultivation techniques Huang Xiaolong taught them. After a few short days of practice, to their delight, Zhao Shu and Yu Ming noticed that their battle qi cultivation speed did indeed increase significantly.
Whenever they had questions about the techniques, they would seek advice and guidance from Huang Xiaolong, helping to easily solve things that baffled them. It was as if his answers were a bright light at the end of a tunnel.
Today, the sun shone brightly in the sky, and Huang Xiaolong and the other three were riding on beast mounts as they made their way through the mountains.
“Sovereign, estimating our speed, it will be one more day before we arrive in Duanren Empire.”Zhao Shu informed to Huang Xiaolong.
Huang Xiaolong nodded.
One more day!
Even though they were arriving in Duanren Empire tomorrow, it would take another half a month for them to reach the Imperial City.
They were in the seventh lunar month. By the time they made it to the Imperial City, there would be about ten days left before the battle commenced, so the timing was just right.
I hope things in Luo Tong Royal City are fine. Huang Xiaolong thought to himself.
With these several months of travel, the places they passed were mostly barren hills or the wilderness, and there hadn’t been any contact with Luo Tong Royal City.
But, the Big Sword Sect, Martial Ning Family, and Clear Cloud Pavilion were already destroyed, and there was still Marshal Haotian keeping an eye over things in Luo Tong Kingdom. Since that was the case, the safety of the Huang Family should not be an issue.
One day later, the group finally arrived in Duanren Empire!
Entering Duanren Empire, Huang Xiaolong could see many other people from other kingdoms that came to participate in the Imperial City Battle just like him. Additionally, there were also experts from different forces that came to watch the battle.
The Imperial City Battle of Duanren Empire was an open event, therefore, royal families and forces nearby would come to watch the event.
Entering Duanren Empire, Huang Xiaolong, Zhao Shu, Yu Ming, and Fei Hou did not dally, rushing onward straight to Duanren Empire’s Imperial City.
Two weeks later, Huang Xiaolong’s group arrived at their destination.
Standing in front of the Imperial City walls, Huang Xiaolong’s mind went blank as he stared at the grand sight in front of him − the behemoth city gates and the colossal walls.
The Luo Tong Royal City, Yuwai Royal City, and all the royal cities he had seen along the way while passing through some other kingdoms were nothing compared to the Imperial City gates standing before his eyes. It was similar to comparing a small mud brick house seated next to a palace.
The walls of Duanren Empire’s Imperial City boast a height of over a hundred zhang!
Exceeding one hundred zhang! Stupendous!
The people walking below the city walls were akin to ants that were crawling on the ground. Yes, ants that crawled on the floor.
Looking at Duanren Imperial City gates, Huang Xiaolong felt very small. This feeling wasn’t limited to Huang Xiaolong though, Fei Hou did as well.
Even though this was the second time Fei Hou saw the Imperial City gates, the shock he felt was still just as strong.
