Chapter 2545: Saint Fate Appears (1/2)

Half a day later, Huang Xiaolong returned to the Blue Dragon Manor from the Primal Ancestors’ space.

Back at the Blue Dragon Manor, Huang Xiaolong asked Di Huai about Fu Yunjie’s latest update. The moment Li Chen had died, Fu Yunjie had lost his shelter, and it was time to deal with Fu Yunjie once and for all.

But Di Huai actually reported that Fu Yunjie had slid away from the Heavenly Master Holy Ground after getting news of Li Chen’s death. Currently, Fu Yunjie and his father, Fan Xia, were hiding in the Holy Lands Alliance.

“He slipped away?” Huang Xiaolong was surprised.

He had exhorted the Departing Sword Sage to keep an eye on Fu Yunjie to prevent this, but Fu Yunjie had still slipped off in the end.

The Departing Sword Sage looked ashamed, “Indeed so, Your Highness. Fu Yunjie is simply too cunning. I don’t know from where he got a high-grade escape talisman. That was how he managed to run away. Subordinate failed in completing the task, and he is ready to accept punishment.

Huang Xiaolong waved his hand and said, “It’s alright, it doesn’t matter if he has slipped away. It’s just the same digging them out from the Holy Lands Alliance later.”

Fu Yunjie escaped this time, but he won’t be able to do so every time.

Huang Xiaolong wasn’t worried even if Fu Yunjie and Fan Xia ran to the end of the world.

However, in order to prevent Fu Yunjie and Fan Xia from fleeing from the Holy Lands Alliance to some obscure corner of some unknown holy ground, Huang Xiaolong ordered people to keep an eye on the father and son’s movements.

Counting the time, there were six to seven years until the predicted time of Saint Fate's appearance, and Huang Xiaolong planned to use this time to raise his cultivation to the peak of late Ninth Tribulation half-True Saint. So, dealing with the father and son could only be pushed back until he integrated with the Saint Fate and broke through to True Saint Realm.

In the subsequent days, Huang Xiaolong stayed at the Blue Dragon Manor and focused on improving his cultivation, entering into peak late-Ninth Tribulation half-True Saint Realm.

Instead of consuming Cangqiong Holy Pills, Huang Xiaolong consumed Star Transferring Holy Pills. Each Cangqiong Holy Pill was extremely precious. Thus he was saving them for later when he would break through to True Saint Realm.

Though he was only consuming the Star Transferring Holy Pills, Huang Xiaolong was confident that it was enough to help him advance to peak late-Ninth Tribulation before the Saint Fate appeared.

Time flowed by, and six years went by in the blink of an eye.

In these six years, Huang Xiaolong barely took a step out from the secret chamber. After refining the first Star Transferring Holy Pill, he continued with the second, third, fourth pellet, and so on…

Based on Huang Xiaolong’s current terrifying absorption and cultivation speed, he could fully absorb the energy within a Star Transferring Holy Pill in two to three days.

In six years’ time, even Huang Xiaolong had lost count about how many Star Transferring Holy Pills he had consumed.

He only remembered that he had advanced to the peak late-Ninth Tribulation half-True Saint Realm four years ago. He had stopped consuming Star Transferring Holy Pill after that, keeping the remaining holy pills for future use.

After all, at this point, no matter how many holy pills he consumed, they would be wasted as he couldn’t break through to True Saint Realm relying on them. Even so, he remained in seclusion, and his half-True Saint power had become even more compact.

Again and again, he tempered, suppressed, and condensed the energy within his body.

Four years ago when Huang Xiaolong’s cultivation had entered the peak late-Ninth Tribulation half-True Saint Realm, his half-True Saint energy had turned a pale golden color. Through numerous repeated condensations, the pale golden color had changed to golden, bright platinum, golden-purple, and crimson-golden.

Now, when Huang Xiaolong released his half-True Saint energy, his entire body was enshrouded by a blinding crimson golden light that seemingly could split a crack through heaven and earth.

On this particular day, with half a year remaining until Saint Fate appeared, the Holy World trembled as coruscating rays of light lit up its skies, and these rays of light were increasingly blinding. All experts in every holy ground and ancient race raised their heads and stared into the sky with a surprised but ecstatic expression.
