Chapter 977: Ascending to the Divine World (2/2)

To Huang Xiaolong, this result fell a little short of satisfactory, for this meant that their future cultivation path would be greatly limited. His family members, on the other hand, were ecstatic, so overjoyed that they couldn’t distinguish the directions anymore. In their eyes, a high rank ten godhead was already a miracle. One must not forget; in the four galaxies where they came from, other than Xiang Mingzhi who had condensed a top grade rank ten godhead in the past, there hadn’t been anyone who succeeded for tens of millennia.

Not to mention the fact that the Ancestor generation characters who had condensed a rank ten godhead throughout the countless galaxies were scarce in number.

On this day, Huang Xiaolong sat in his yard in the Abundant Deities Manor, sipping wine alone absentmindedly.

Shi Xiaofei entered the yard and walked to Huang Xiaolong’s side, taking a seat beside him as her hands refilled his wine cup. Her gentle voice sounded, “What’s the matter? Is there something on your mind?”

Huang Xiaolong did not say anything.

“Thinking about the Divine World’s matters?” Shi Xiaofei suddenly asked after a moment of transient silence.

Both of them had been husband and wife for a long time. From the time they first met until now, several hundred years had passed, but Shi Xiaofei’s guesses hit the mark nine out of ten times.

Huang Xiaolong nearly choked, looking stupidly at Shi Xiaofei then answered, “Yes.”

She was right, he had been contemplating things about the Divine World in the last few days.

Ever since he killed the Ghost Refining Sect Master and conquered the Path to Hell, almost a hundred years had passed. Although Huang Xiaolong’s days had been extremely leisurely, he couldn’t stay in the lower realm forever.

Over a decade ago, he had advanced to early Tenth Order Highgod Realm, and in the last few years, his cultivation had plateaued. The amount of energy he required to breakthrough to Tenth Order Highgod Realm was too frightening, there was almost no treasure in the lower realm that could support his three supreme godheads’ consumption.

Even though he had the shimmering gray energy summoned by the four divine fires, it was far from sufficient.

At this rate, give him another three to four hundred years and Huang Xiaolong still wouldn't be able to breakthrough to perfection stage late-Tenth Order Highgod Realm. It was excruciatingly slow!

Thus, the thought of ascending crossed his mind.

But, what about his family?

If he ascended to the Divine World without his family, who could say for sure when they would be able to reunite?

The problem was, there were too many unknown dangers in the Divine World! His family’s strength was still too weak, if they ascended together to the Divine World, Huang Xiaolong wasn’t sure he would be able to keep them safe.

“Xiaolong, you need not worry about us.” Shi Xiaofei more or less saw through Huang Xiaolong’s worries, speaking her thoughts, “All of us have reached the Highgod Realm now and have three hundred thousand years of lifespan in the lower realm. If the time comes and you are still unable to come back to see us, we’ll look for you in the Divine World!”

Huang Xiaolong stilled. His eyes flickered, but he nodded after a while, “That is good as well!”

Three hundred thousand years later, even if he failed to return to the lower realm to see his family, he most likely would have established a power of his own. At that time, if his family ascended, he would have the power to protect them.

While in the lower realm, his family would be protected by the Ghost Refining Sect, the Ancient Devil Clan, and others, Huang Xiaolong was assured of their safety.

By the next morning, all the Huang Family and everyone else already heard of Huang Xiaolong’s decision to ascend. The atmosphere turned lifeless, filled with reluctance and sadness.

Everyone understood without saying it out loud, this parting was different from all those times in the past.

In the days leading up to his ascension, for almost a full year, Huang Xiaolong stayed to accompany his family at the Abundant Deities Manor, especially Shi Xiaofei. Their dual cultivation went on for several days at a time, as if both of them wanted to melt the other into their own body, forgetting the world outside, imprinting the other into their memories.

After a year’s time, the day of Huang Xiaolong’s ascension to the Divine World had arrived.
