Chapter 508: Destination: Dead Sea Gorge
“Meaning to say, any form of energy devoured by you would also be absorbed by me through the Dragon Pearl? And I would not incur any adverse side effects?” Huang Xiaolong’s breathing quickened; if this was true, it was too heaven-defying!
Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi chuckled watching Huang Xiaolong’s expression, knowing his thoughts. Ao Taiyi said, “You can put it like that.”
Can put it like that? Huang Xiaolong dazed for a second, immediately noticing an underlying meaning to Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi’s words.
“Our ancient Dragon Clan was hailed the Lord of All Beasts, and the Dragon Pearl is the most precious heritage treasure of our clan. Although it can purify all energy, it is limited to energy originating from beasts!” Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi explained.
Huang Xiaolong was slightly disappointed, but at the same time, he was greatly relieved.
That was better. According to what Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi said, he could be like the Violet Spirit Devourer Monkey, capable of swallowing and refining demonic beast cores!
Refine demonic beast cores! And without any side effects! A wave of excitement washed over Huang Xiaolong.
A short while later, Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi returned to the Dragon Pearl space. Though he could leave the Dragon Pearl with no restrictions to his movements within a thousand zhang radius from Huang Xiaolong, he could not leave for too a long a time.
Huang Xiaolong stayed inside the Xumi Temple, practicing his Fifteen Moves of the Dragon God to familiarize himself with the new level of strength before exiting to the world outside.
Huang Peng, Su Yan, Zhao Shu, Zhang Fu were all surprised seeing Huang Xiaolong out from his closed-door practice so soon, for he had informed them beforehand that he would take at least one year this time, but it was only a little past six months.
Did something happen?
“Long’er, is everything alright?” Su Yan motherly side rose to the surface, feeling concerned.
Seeing the concerned expression on his mother’s face, warmth filled his heart. Shaking his head while smiling, he assured her, “I’m alright.”
By this time, those who heard about Huang Xiaolong exiting his closed-door practice raced over to the main hall, from his younger sister Huang Min, his little nephew Guo Xiaofan, the Violet Spirit Devourer Monkey Huang Xiaoyong, Heaven Devouring Beast Lil’ Tian, and others.
But, one person Huang Xiaolong did not expect to see was—Shi Xiaofei! Shi Xiaofei entered the main hall, behind his sister Huang Min.
As Shi Xiaofei walked in, her beautiful eyes met Huang Xiaolong’s gaze. Her gaze held bashful amorous feelings.
Neither of them spoke, but that did not hinder an ambiguous atmosphere from spreading in the hall with them at the center.
The last time he saw Shi Xiaofei was a few years ago. Seeing her again, Huang Xiaolong could only say that she was even more beautiful. There was a pure aura around her that transcended mortal women, making anyone who saw her unable to look away. That delicate face devoid of any makeup increased one’s affection the more they looked at her.
The way Huang Xiaolong stared at her in front of so many people made Shi Xiaofei’s little face turn red.
Huang Xiaolong recovered swiftly, looking around the hall, covering up his gaffe with a small flick of his sleeve and said with a laugh, “Tonight we shall eat roast meat! Great, big roast meat!” Not only had he broken through to Tenth Order Saint realm in this time’s closed-door cultivation, he even reached peak mid-Tenth Order Saint realm. Undeniably, he was in a wonderful mood.
Even more wonderful was knowing that the Dragon Pearl could purify any form of demonic beast energy. To the current Huang Xiaolong, achieving God Realm was no longer an out of reach goal.
Hearing Huang Xiaolong mention roast meat, the main hall was filled with ecstatic cheers. Especially the Heaven Devouring Beast, Lil’ Tian, the little guy was practically jumping up, hollering in a very loud voice. Even Shi Xiaofei was no exception, clapping her hands in delight.
This was a beautiful sight to behold. Even a person with an iron will such as Huang Xiaolong couldn't help being mesmerized.
After Huang Xiaolong gave the command, the Asura’s Gate disciples brought back one hundred fat and tender Tyrant Boars with efficient speed.
The sun was setting on the eastern horizon when Huang Xiaolong began to work.
With his strength, roasting one hundred Tyrant Boars or a single Tyrant Boar made very little difference.
Soon, the unique aroma of roast Tyrant Boar meat permeated the entire Asura Square.
Night settled in. Everyone was sitting around the bonfire, cheerful voices and bouts of laughter could be heard from afar.
