Chapter 2099: Break Through! (1/2)
“Late-Seventh Order Sovereign?! I think he would have broken into the Eighth Order!”
“That’s what I think too. He might even be a mid-Eighth Order Sovereign…”
Everyone broke out into spirited discussions about Lord Wan Shi’s strength when they heard that he was about to leave seclusion.
Some of them were sure that he would be a late-Seventh Order Sovereign while others felt that he would already be in the mid-Eighth Order Sovereign Realm!
In the Divine World, everyone heard the news about Wan Shi leaving seclusion, and a layer of gloom descended on them. The Reverence Moon Old Man, the King of Grandmist, the King of Darkness, Du Hai of the Six-Winged Green Mosquito Race, and the others stared at each other in dismay.
Wan Shi leaving seclusion wasn’t good news for any of them.
“Within ten years…” The King of Grandmist frowned, “Why is he leaving seclusion so early?!” A trace of worry flashed in his eyes.
Du Hai asked with a trace of suspicion in his eyes, “Could it be a rumor started by those in the City of All-Heavens?”
The Reverence Moon Old Man shook his head. “I’m afraid it’s real. If they were spreading rumors, they would simply say that Lord Wan Shi would be emerging from his secluded cultivation in a year or two!”
The King of Darkness looked at everyone present, and he nodded in agreement. “I’m afraid it’s true…”
The hall fell into silence as the air turned still.
The name, ‘Wan Shi,’ was like a massive mountain pressing down on their chest. Even someone at the level of the Reverence Moon Old Man found it hard to breathe.
Everyone also knew that other than Wan Shi, there was also another troublesome individual to deal with!
“I wonder how strong Wan Shi is right now…” The King of Darkness finally broke the silence after some time.
Those present in the hall stared at each other as they felt tongue-tied.
“He might have broken into the late-Seventh Order Sovereign Realm…” Du Hai guessed.
The Reverence Moon Old Man shook his head, “I’m afraid that might not be the case!”
Once again, the mood in the hall turned solemn.
That was the worst thing that could have happened. If Wan Shi was only at the late-Seventh Order Sovereign Realm, they would still have a trace of hope. After all, Huang Xiaolong had already obtained the Thirty-Six Petaled Green Lotus. The moment he enters the mid-level Sovereign Realm, he would be able to stand against Wan Shi.
However, the same couldn’t be said if Wan Shi had broken through…
Even if Huang Xiaolong enters the mid-level Sovereign Realm, he would be no match for an Eighth Order Sovereign!
The moment Huang Xiaolong fails to hold Wan Shi back, everything would be over!
“We can only hope that Wan Shi is at the late-Seventh Order Sovereign Realm when he leaves seclusion…” The King of Grandmist sighed.
“I wonder how Xiaolong is now…” The Reverence Moon Old Man changed the topic when he noticed the depressing atmosphere in the hall.
“I have no idea… I contacted Azure Cow several days ago, but even she doesn’t know anything about Huang Xiaolong’s situation.” The King of Grandmist shook his head and continued, “From what she said, Xiaolong is currently isolated in a space he carved out. None of them can enter due to the overwhelming origin energy…”
“Let’s just hope that Xiaolong will be able to enter the mid-level Sovereign Realm in ten years…” A bitter smile appeared on the King of Darkness’s face.
“We can only hope…”
…
As the rumors of Wan Shi leaving seclusion spread like wildfire throughout the lands, Huang Xiaolong was busy devouring the origin energy around him. Like what the King of Grandmist said, the space he was in was surrounded by astounding amounts of origin energy. The energy was so concentrated that it formed a storm strong enough to crush worlds. Even existences like the little cow and Cang Mutian couldn’t enter the space due to the origin energy storm.
They could do nothing but wait for Huang Xiaolong to emerge.
As for the Four Spirit Jade Zoysia, the two of them had long since refined it.
