Chapter 2417: Heading to the Purple Clouds Sea (2/2)
As an organization rivaling the Holy Heavens, the Devil Palace had tons of branches scattered around the Holy World. As long as he infiltrated their branch organization, there would be tons of talents for him to devour!
However, the risk of heading towards one of the Devil Palace’s branches was too high.
There would be a high-level True Saint holding the fort in each branch. Even with the Darkness Holy Ring and the Winged Dragon Flying Ship, Huang Xiaolong knew that it was almost impossible to escape.
Returning to the Blue Dragon Manor, Huang Xiaolong no longer thought about infiltrating the Devil Palace’s branch organization. Instead, he locked himself in seclusion.
This time, he planned to refine the four Star Transferring Holy Pills and the Clear Jade Grand Rebirth Holy Pill before leaving seclusion.
After his hellish training in the Devil Cave, he had already arrived at the peak of the early-First Tribulation half-True Saint Realm. According to his estimations, he would be able to enter the late-First Tribulation half-True Saint Realm after he refined all five holy pills.
Leaving Di Huai, Feng Tianyu, Zhang Wenyue, and the others a note, he entered a secret room. A Star Transferring Holy Pill appeared in his hand.
Without the slightest bit of hesitation, Huang Xiaolong threw the pill in his mouth.
In an instant, the pill transformed into a river of holy energy. Huang Xiaolong seemed to have turned into a newborn star as boundless amounts of energy emerged from his body.
With the experience of refining so many holy herbs, Huang Xiaolong had long since prepared himself for something like this. However, it seemed as though he had underestimated the Star Transferring Holy Pill, and he nearly lost consciousness when the energy erupted in his body. The energy contained in a single Star Transferring Pill was several thousands of times more than those rank-ten origin spiritual pills he had consumed in the past.
Even holy pills he had consumed in the past couldn’t compare to the Star Transferring Holy Pill!
In that instant, Huang Xiaolong seemed to have realized the reason behind his masters’ anger after hearing how he had refined the raw herbs.
Knowing that distraction would only put his life in danger, Huang Xiaolong hastily started to circulate the Grandmist Parasitic Medium. In an instant, the energy contained in the pill surged towards the three saint godheads.
Huang Xiaolong seemed to turn into a brilliant star as starlight emerged from the pores of his body.
Even with his new and improved saint attributes, he took four months to refine the Star Transferring Holy Pill.
Without stopping to rest, Huang Xiaolong started to refine the second pill.
Four months later, he tossed the third pill into his mouth.
After a year and a half in seclusion, Huang Xiaolong finally emerged.
The gains he had this time were better than he had expected. Initially, he had thought that he would only be able to reach the late-First Tribulation half-True Saint Realm after leaving seclusion. However, he had only swallowed four Star Transferring Holy Pills when he had entered the peak of the late-First Tribulation half-True Saint Realm.
He only needed to make a slight improvement to call upon the second tribulation.
However, he decided against it as crossing the second tribulation in the city wasn’t a smart thing to do. He couldn’t allow the others to learn of his true cultivation level.
As such, he decided to cross the second tribulation in the Purple Clouds Sea. He was headed there anyway.
After leaving his secret room, Huang Xiaolong remained in the Blue Dragon Manor for three months. He spent his time with Di Huai, Feng Tianyu, Zhang Wenyue, and the others shopping around and he also entered the Primal Ancestors’ space to cultivate the holy martial arts and divine techniques they taught him.
Three months later, Huang Xiaolong left the Holy Heavens for the Purple Clouds Sea.
The moment he left the Holy Heavens, he summoned the Winged Dragon Flying Ship. As soon as he boarded, he released Chen Zhi and the others.
