Chapter 348: Beast God Scepter

Huang Xiaolong’s aura spread out like the waves of an endless sea, rolling and splashing, drowning everything.

Everyone in the grand hall choked at the whelming pressure. Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu were both shocked, they swiftly projected their own battle qi out to cast a protective barrier over Huang Peng, Su Yan, and the others to keep them from being affected too much.

“Saint realm!” At the same time, Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu blurted out in unison.

Saint realm!

Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu’s exclamation echoed in Huang Peng, Su Yan, Huang Xiaohai, and the others’ ears, sending a shiver down their backs. Eyes widened a second later staring at Huang Xiaolong as their mind registered the meaning of those two words.

Sain-, Saint realm?!!!

The whelming pressure merely lasted a second before it receded faster than the evening tide, converged inside Huang Xiaolong’s body. The atmosphere returned to its previous serenity, causing everyone to feel like that split second pressure they experienced was nothing but an illusion.

The instant Huang Xiaolong converged his aura, in Guo Manor’s secret chamber, Guo Chen suddenly opened his eyes. In a flicker he appeared high above the Guo Manor, his alert eyes scanning all directions.

“Strange, I definitely felt a Saint realm warrior’s aura just now, how did it disappear without a trace?” Guo Chen muttered to himself. “That aura absolutely doesn’t belong to Duanren or that several old fellas. Could it be that some other unknown Saint realm expert has arrived in Duanren Imperial City?”

The same time Guo Chen was exploring the situation above the Guo Manor, above the Duanren Imperial Palace, Emperor Duanren was performing precisely the same actions, scanning the area with his spiritual sense, but just like Guo Chen, it was fruitless. In the end, Emperor Duanren flew back into the palace feeling puzzled.

When Guo Chen landed back in Guo Manor, Guo Shiwen approached carefully and asked due to Ancestor’s strange actions, “Ancestor, just now you…?”

Guo Chen explained, “Just now, I felt a Saint realm expert’s energy fluctuation, close to the Southern Hill Estate’s direction, but just as I came out, it vanished.”

In the Southern Hill Estate’s direction? Guo Shiwen was taken aback, then a thought struck his mind. Without thinking, he blurted out, “Ancestor, could it be that Senior Huang broke through the Saint realm?”

Guo Chen was stumped for the briefest second before shaking his head with a soft chuckle, “Absolutely not possible, it is too difficult to break into the Saint realm, I know from experience. As heaven-defying as Huang Xiaolong’s talent is, there’s no way he could advance into the Saint realm so fast.”

Guo Shiwen pondered his Ancestor’s words; the Ancestor had cultivated for several hundred years, only managing to break through to Saint realm a few years ago after many hardships. Indeed, no matter how gifted Huang Xiaolong was, breaking into the Saint realm at this speed was a fantasy.

“Ancestor, in your opinion, according to Senior Huang’s cultivation speed, how long will it take him to step into the Saint realm?” Guo Shiwen asked.

Guo Chen thought for a moment, answering: “Within five years’ time, he probably could.” In Guo Chen’s mind, Huang Xiaolong needed at least five years’ time to reach that point.

…

At this time, in the Southern Hill Estate’s grand hall, Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu were smiling ear to ear, taking a step forward to kneel down on single knee. Saluting towards Huang Xiaolong, their sonorous voices rang:“Congratulations Young Lord on advancing to the Saint realm!”

Their Sovereign had broken into the Saint realm! This would greatly increase the Sovereign’s chances in fighting for the Asura’s Gate position later, therefore, both of them were extremely happy.

Huang Xiaolong nodded, smiling, “Rise.” Advancing to the Saint realm also put Huang Xiaolong in a good mood.

Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu stood up.

By this point, Huang Peng, Su Yan, Huang Xiaohai, and the orders finally recovered from their shock, each was happy and excited, with Huang Peng declaring to the Southern Hill Estate to hold a celebration feast for three days and three nights.
