— Chapter 292 —

“Su Mucheng?”

“Who?”

Black Zetsu trembled in fear because of Yunlong’s tone. He could feel his entire body screaming to run away from this monster.

The entire world became white and back when he was meeting with Yunlong, showing how terrifying his presence was to him.

“I-I can show you Su Mucheng’s appearance.” Black Zetsu moved his slime mouth.

Yunlong smiled and released Black Zetsu off his hand, letting the slime move freely.

Black Zetsu nervously looked down and brought out a black pearl from his body, a condensation of his spiritual power.

It’s a way to share his memory with others after reincarnating into this new body. [Demonic Slime] is a great spirit beast to complement Black Zetsu’s spying ability.

Yunlong picked the black pearl and observed it with his spiritual force. A connection formed, which forced every piece of memories Black Zetsu had in the Sun and Moon Continent to come into his mind.

Usually, Yunlong would have to close his eyes to digest this enormous amount of information. However, after improving his spiritual sea, everything memory-related is easier to maintain now.

A vast scenery of a futuristic city appeared in Yunlong’s sight.

It’s more advanced than any city on the Douluo Continent, and the technologies used here were 20.000 years more progressive than now.

No, the current Douluo Continent doesn’t even have the most basic technologies like the Sun and Moon Continent.

The most impressive thing Douluo Continent had before scientists from MHA’s world arrived here was essence tools powered by spirit energy.

There were also some mechanical technologies, but it was too ancient to get compared moderately.

It was the exact reason why [Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan] and [Clear Sky Clan] agreed to become secret partners with [Sun and Moon Continent]’s spy.

Since their common enemy is the same, they decided on everything quickly and attacked Spirit Hall simultaneously.

Unfortunately, Yunlong was on the other side of the board and crushed their plan to nothing. Four Leaders died on the Spirit Hall’s territory, leaving fear to others.

Another scenery appeared in Yunlong’s mind.

It’s a laboratory with several devices built by white-coated researchers.

A woman in a white lab coat stood with a calm expression.

She’s a beautiful lady in her early 20s with long blond hair and a slim body. Her face is healthy white with no shred of makeup and complemented by her inviting rosy lips.

“What are you doing here, Guyin?” She frowned at Yunlong.

“I’ve been searching for you all night.”

“Did you drink too much again?”

Yunlong shook his head because she wasn’t staring at him but the person’s point of view he used right now. Black Zetsu possessed someone’s body to spy on the Sun and Moon Continent.

The scenery changed to a warehouse with several giant spears like Longinus inside it. Each of these god-slaying weapons has the anti-divine attribute.

“Aren’t these enough?”

“Do you think those primitive spirit masters could defend themselves against our god-slaying weapons?”

“Don’t make me laugh…”

“The first Longinus should have destroyed a portion of the Douluo Continent.”

Yunlong heard a conversation between two people inside the warehouse and saw Su Mucheng standing in front of a black-haired teenage boy.

“Who’s there!?”

“Guyin, what are you doing here?” Su Mucheng frowned at him.

“Tch, this is why I don’t like your subordinate.” The teenage boy clicked his tongue.

He indifferently pointed his finger at Guyin and mimicked a shooting movement.

“Bam!” He said casually.

Su Muchen’s face drained from any color, and Yunlong saw several plasma beams approaching him.

“Guyin-.”

The memory stopped there because Black Zetsu slowly released his possession and crept underground. He couldn’t stay for too long because the security system was called by the teenage boy a few seconds later.

Black Zetsu stayed in the Sun and Moon Continent for several months, so he didn’t only spy on the researcher. He possessed some important people there and gained a substantial amount of information.

“Secret Dragon Realm?”

Yunlong frowned because the future people from the Sun and Moon Continent seemed to know about the Dragon Realm left by Dragon God, or called Dragon Valley 20.000 years later.

It’s a special place where all deceased Dragons, who went on the Divine War, resided. Gu Yuena searched this place for months after her awakening but found no result.

He tried to find more about this matter, yet nothing more than the abstract location of this place contained within the Black Zetsu’s information.

“What a shame.” Yunlong sighed and decided to explore the False God Seats Method’s information.

.

.

.

“Eh, is this for real?”

Yunlong stared at nothingness with a weird expression.

After carefully reviewing the False God Seats Method for half an hour, he was speechless by the severe lack of information the Sun and Moon Continent have.

They want to achieve something beyond spirit rank 100 with a weird tool called the “God Seat.” and use it to enter the 4th dimension.

It’s a literal seat with the ability to absorb spirit energy and transfer them to the device user, granting them a privilege to grasp Wild God level.

However, they were severely lacking in the physical and spiritual departments, making every test fail. Yes, several test subjects exploded because of it.

Tang Xiao’s armor used the same method as “God Seat.” and enhanced his strength greatly, making him almost equal to Wild God level.

In the future, some individuals can break the limit of the world but are not True Gods because they lack a God’s Position and Immortal Qi. They are called Wild Gods.

Yunlong was interested in the Sun and Moon Continent’s way of thinking to reach a higher level. It’s possible but too unstable for his liking.

Not to mention by undergoing Sea God Trials, Yunlong slowly converted his spirit energy to Immortal Qi. He would eventually reach spirit rank level 100 and become god, even without Sun and Moon Continent’s method.

Yunlong sighed and opened his eyes, looking at Black Zetsu with an amused expression.

“Not bad,” He commented calmly. “You are doing your job properly.”

‘Of course, I am… I don’t want to die!’ Black Zetsu screamed in his head.

Yunlong picked something from his inventory and tossed it to Black Zetsu. “Take that pill.” He said casually.

Black Zetsu glanced at the translucent white pill with a confused gaze, not sure if this was poison or not. He lived in this world for more than half a year, but the knowledge he knows is so minuscule.

“It’s an essence I gathered in Nine Heaven Staircases, and with it, you can reach 100.000 years old easily,” Yunlong added while lifting his body off the ground.

“After you absorb it, your next mission is to find the Secret Dragon Realm from the Sun and Moon Continent.”

He walked away and continued, “Also, talk with Kaguya.”

“She is lonely without her children.”

Black Zetsu’s eyes widened, and he looked at Yunlong’s back with a genuinely surprised look. He thought this guy was a devil.

“Don’t look at me like that, please?” Yunlong commented while yawning.

“I’m not a heartless demon, after all.”

The corner of Black Zetsu’s slime mouth twitched in irritation when hearing Yunlong’s statement. “Thank you.” He whispered to the ground.

Yunlong smiled and shook his head, enjoying the last night’s view on the Sea God Island.

“The Stars are shining tonight, huh.” He walked to the settlement Sea Dragon Douluo gave to them.

A decent-sized mansion with some sea dragon sculptures entered Yunlong’s sight.

He walked to the front door and saw Yu Ning’er cleaning a decoration vase.

“I thought I told you guys to rest?” He approached with a playful smile.

“Ah, young master.” Yu Ning’er nervously giggled.

“I can’t help myself, you know.”

“This place is clean, yet it’s not up to my standard.”

Sea Dragon Mansion has never been used for years. Even though someone cleaned it monthly, some places were still too dusty for Yunlong’s maids.

As Yunlong went to the beach, waiting for Black Zetsu’s information, they corresponded with each other to clean the Mansion.

Yunlong sighed and flicked Yu Ning’er on the forehead, making her groan softly in pain.

“Uuh…” Yu Ning’er covered her forehead with her hands.

“Young master-.”

She couldn’t grasp what happened next because Yunlong suddenly pressed her against the wall, kissing her pinkish lips gently.

Yu Ning’er stared at Yunlong’s crimson eyes and felt the warmth inside her swelling quickly. She breathed heavily and sniffed her master’s scent.

‘Young master’s touch makes my knees weak.’ She thought while losing some of her strength.

“Be a good girl, and have a good rest.” Yunlong released Yu Ning’er and patted her head.

“We have a trial to do tomorrow.”

Yu Ning’er buried her head on Yunlong’s chest and nervously whispered, “O-Okay, young master.”

Yunlong gave her a peck on the cheek and added, “By the way, That’s not the reward I promised.”

“I’ll give each of you a suitable reward after we complete the Sea God Trials.”

He walked away and added, “Also, be a good friend with Bai Xue.”

Yu Ning’er shook her head lightly because the last request seemed impossible for her. “I’ll try my best.” She waved her hand a little and walked to her room.

Yunlong moved through a long hallway and stopped, staring at the ceiling with an amused look.

“Come out, Zhuqing.” He commented, and a black shadow fell onto the ground.

Zhu Zhuqing, in her martial soul possession form, stood in front of Yunlong calmly.

“I don’t know you’re such a cheeky girl, Zhuqing.” Yunlong looked at her. “Do you think I won’t notice your presence?”

Zhu Zhuqing frowned and answered, “No, I know you could sense me from the beginning.”

“It’s just that…”

“My sister…”

“Why can I feel your scent and presence from her?”

“Did you finally give her your essence?”

“Okay, okay, calm down.” Yunlong stopped her mouth with his finger. “One by one.”

Zhu Zhuqing pouted adorably and mumbled, “Fine…”

“Yes, I did give your sister my essence blood,” Yunlong answered while staring at her eyes. “She earned it.”

“After all, Zhu Zhuyin helped me manage the Star Luo Empire from the shadows.”

“Do you still hate her?”

Zhu Zhuqing’s expression was weird for a moment because she didn’t hate her sister anymore. Their family is the reason why they fought against each other.

Except for a few assassination attempts, Zhu Zhuyun hasn’t laid her hand directly on Zhu Zhuqing.

“Ah, You’re jealous.” Yunlong chuckled a little.

“Hmm?” Zhu Zhuqing tilted her head in confusion.

Yunlong rubbed the back of Zhu Zhuyqing’s cat ears skillfully and asked, “Do you like this?”

“Yes…” Zhu Zhuqing’s face flushed in redness.

“Now, imagine if I treat your sister the same?” He continued, to which she responded with a frown.

“See, you’re jealous.” Yunlong picked a mirror from his inventory and showed Zhu Zhuqing her frowned expression.

He chuckled and said, “Don’t worry, as I said beforehand.”

“I can treat all of you the same.”

“It’s just impossible for me because I adored everyone differently.”

Yunlong raised Zhu Zhuqing’s chin and stared at her eyes silently, giving the cat girl shiver in her spine.

“Let’s go somewhere else, first.” They disappeared from the hallway.

— Hidden Workshop —

Yunlong and Zhu Zhuqing arrived inside the workshop.

“Where is this?” Zhu Zhuqing asked while looking around.

“It’s my hidden workshop,” Yunlong responded immediately.

“This is where I made your ring.”

Zhu Zhuqing’s eyes shone in excitement and scanned through the room with an attentive gaze.

Yunlong grasped her shoulders and commented, “I’ll teach you something useful for the next trial.”

“Aura.”

The beastly presence exploded from Yunlong’s body and made Zhu Zhuqing’s body shiver in delight, her hell chivet beast and dragon bloodline boiled at a ridiculous speed.

“Since you can’t train your body to the extreme like me, I’ll modify the method to pressure your entire body.”

“You can count this as a reward, but it’s not.” He added with a playful whisper.

“Bear in mind, the procedure is rough for someone who doesn’t possess formidable will.”

“Can I become stronger with this?” Zhu Zhuqing returned with a calm yet thoughtful look.

“Yes, you can.” Yunlong grinned at her.

She breathed and replied, “Do it.”

Yunlong activated Beast Lord’s Sensory and felt two bloodlines’ energy inside Zhu Zhuqing’s body. The first is obviously his dragon bloodline, which has merged with her body completely.

The other blood was her beast bloodline, Hell Chivet, one of the martial souls Star Luo Empire’s royal families passed through generations. It’s somehow thin and barely affects her body.

Yunlong’s Aura penetrated Zhu Zhuqing’s body and settled in her spine, abdomen, and heart.

Zhu Zhuqing gritted her teeth because she could feel everything inside her destroyed to pieces. Violent energy washed over her bones, qi pathway, and heart.

Even though she won’t obtain Celestial Beast’s Body, she could still get a similar physique type, alas weaker compared to Yunlong.

Well, Zhu Zhuqing could reach in the future.

Yunlong pumped his Aura into Zhu Zhuqing’s body, transforming every inch of her muscle, bone, and Hell Chivet bloodline.

.

.

.

After hours of process, Zhu Zhuqing breathed heavily on the floor with a sweaty body. Her face is red like a ripe tomato.

‘Neo.’ Yunlong thought while staring at his maid.

[Scanning…]

[Name: Zhu Zhuqing]

[Age: 13 years and 11 months]

[Martial Soul: Hell Beast(Incomplete Mutation)]

[Spirit Rank: 69]

[Physique: Hell Incarnation Aura Body]

“Oh, interesting.” He pinned the Hell Incarnation Aura Body’s description.

[Name: Hell Incarnation Aura Body]

[Description: An unique physique birthed via an unconventional method, after one’s flesh, muscle, and blood extremely were bathed with higher energy/Aura, it transforms the body according to the origin characteristic]

[Note: The one who used this method must train their body to gain perfect mutation]

“Zhuqing, how do you feel?” Yunlong asked and felt someone hugging his leg.

“Yunlong~.” Zhu Zhuqing transformed into her cat girl form.

However, Yunlong noticed her eyes were more beast-like now, and the furs around her cat ears and tail gained prominent dark crimson color.

“I felt great, nyaa~.” She responded with a purr.
