Chapter 723: Heading towards
“Senior, what’s happening?”
Xiao Luo appeared confused and asked Tianshan Elder and Elder Long. How was it that the golden Dragon Blade was now strangely glowing in a blood-red hue?
“This means that your True Inner Force is leaning toward the Yin force. The Dragon Blade changes its characteristics based on the nature of its wielder’s True Inner Force,” explained Elder Long.
Tianshan Elder added, “Our master’s True Inner Force leaned toward Yang, which is why the blade was sheathed in a golden glow and generated heat.”
So that’s why!
Xiao Luo felt at ease after understanding the truth. There was no need for him to worry anymore, as this was the nature of the blade.
Now that he had finally increased his powers, the only thing left to do was to head toward Arcana Land. He was constantly worried about Su Li and didn’t want to waste even a second.
“Looking at your powers now, cutting through space shouldn’t be an issue for you.”
Elder Long said as he stroked his non-existent beard, “Close your eyes and feel the world with your heart. Explore every single corner of this world. You will ultimately discover a barrier in space, and behind it, you will find a dimension of chaos. Pass through this dimension, and you will reach Arcana Land on the other side.”
Xiao Luo followed Elder Long’s guidance and closed his eyes, using his newfound powers to explore the space around him. Everything around him became illusory, and eventually, a transparent wall shimmered like a veil of swaying sparkling water above the sky.
This should be the space barrier!
Xiao Luo slowly levitated then flew toward that wall in the sky. With the Dragon Blade in his hand, he slashed through the barrier with no hesitation.
SLASH!
A black crack suddenly appeared in the sky. It revealed what looked like a “time travel” tunnel that emanated a strange and mysterious aura.
As a modern-thinking person, Gu Qianlin had already been shocked by what she saw in the three extraordinary beings–Elder Long, Tianshan Elder, and Xiao Quanren. And now, with a single slash, Xiao Luo sliced through the sky to expose a mysterious crack!. She had always thought what she saw was the truth, but she now realized she was nothing more than the proverbial frog in the well. There were many things in the world she had yet to fully understand.
“Luo, are you going now?” Xiao Quanren asked.
Xiao Luo, in the air with his legs in a lotus position, looked down and replied, “Yes, grandfather.”
“Take care of yourself. Quickly return if things get out of hand, and fight another day. As long as there is life, there is hope!” Xiao Quanren was more concerned about Xiao Luo’s safety than rescuing Su Li. Long has it been since the Xiao Clan produced a genius who could awaken their bloodline. There was no way Xiao Quanren would lose him just like that.
“Understood.”
Xiao Luo acknowledged his clan senior, then nodded respectfully to Tianshan Elder and Elder Long, and said, “To my two seniors, thank you so much!”
“Go… wreak vengeance on the Light Clan.”
Elder Long, confident of Xiao Luo’s abilities, looked up excitedly and said, “I bet the King of Swords from the Light Clan would never have dreamed of this. A guy that he trampled on so easily not long ago now has the powers to take him on. I’m curious to see what kind of expression he will have on his face when he gets a taste of your strength! This is going to be fun, haha, haha…”
“Stinky little brat, remember this. Little Snow is your woman as well. Even after saving your empress, you must continue to take good care of Little Snow,” Tianshan Elder shouted.
Xiao Luo nodded and looked at Gu Qianxue, who was blushing, and said, “Little Snow, wait for me.”
“Mm.”
Gu Qianxue nodded and responded, “Xiao Luo, you must be careful!”
“I will.”
Xiao Luo answered her with a smile on his face. He glanced coldly at Gu Qianlin, before turning around and entering the void through the crack in the sky.
Upon entering the void, the laws of physics ceased to apply. The crack suddenly snapped shut and eventually vanished.
“Old man with the surname Long, who is the stinky little brat’s empress? And why did the people from the Light Clan take his empress away?” Tianshan Elder asked out of curiosity.
“Junior Sister, are you only catching onto things now? You should have asked me these questions right from the beginning,” Elder Long quipped as he lifted his eyebrows.
“What do you mean?” Tianshan Elder replied, looking somewhat confused.
“The name of Xiao Luo’s empress is Su Li, and she’s a very famous female celebrity. But she has another identity as the Holy Highness of the Light Clan.
What he said shocked Tianshan Elder. “What? Holy Highness of the Light Clan? The one from the same generation as our master?”
Elder Long nodded and replied, “That’s right. According to the King of Swords from the Light Clan, the Holy Highness from the Light Clan sealed her memory and descended into the six realms of existence to break through the bottleneck. Experiencing life’s ups and downs as an ordinary human will assist her in breaking through the bottleneck upon rebirth.”
“Oh, my God!” Tianshan Elder was astounded when she heard that.
“Junior Sister, look at you! Why the look of surprise? I can’t believe you were so shocked you even spoke in English,” Elder Long said.
“That stinky little brat’s empress is the Holy Highness of the Light Clan? Isn’t that enough to surprise anyone?”
Tianshan Elder stared at the old man with bulging eyes, and said, “She is someone who is capable of controlling thousands of creatures in Arcana Land, and sits right at the top of the hierarchy.” Turning around to look at Xiao Quanren, “Do you know your Xiao clan has produced a top-tier evildoer? To think that he slept with the Highness of Arcana Land. It would mean he is trying to rule over Arcana Land!”
“That…”
Xiao Quanren didn’t know what to say and just stood there smiling sheepishly.
“Junior Sister, calm down. Be it the Lord or Holy Highness of the Arcana Land, she’s still a woman, and no matter how capable or strong a woman she is, she will still eventually be a man’s wife,” said Elder Long.
“Do you really think the Holy Highness of the Light Clan will willingly be a woman who stays beside that stinky little brat?”
Tianshan Elder sneered coldly and chuckled. “She’s the supreme authority in the Arcana Land. Thousands of creatures bow down in her presence. Once she retrieves her memory, she will feel the relationship she had here been in was an ill-fated one and choose to erase it. The easiest and quickest way would be to kill that stinky little brat!”
Xiao Quanren gasped. It was a distinct possibility, as the Highness of Arcana Land had experienced much over her lifetime of thousands of years. Once she recovered her memory, why would she be willing to come back with Luo? Clearly, there was no guarantee that she wouldn’t kill him.
“Junior Sister, stop saying such frightening things. It will scare people when they hear it,” said Elder Long.
“Frightening things?”
Tianshan Elder sneered, “As a woman myself, and as a woman who has also lived for a very long time, I can pat my chest and swear that this is certainly going to happen!”
Elder Long remained silent and furrowed his eyebrows.
The rest didn’t say a thing either. Xiao Luo had worked so hard to increase his powers and find his way into Arcana Land. What if the enemy he had to face was not the guardians of the Light Clan, but Su Li? Just the thought of it seemed cruel and tragic. What a disappointment it’d be for Xiao Luo.
“It will not happen. I believe Su Li will not do that to Xiao Luo!” Gu Qianxue said as she shook her head adamantly.
No one replied to her. An inexplicably complicated atmosphere filled the air. On one side was the Highness of Arcana Land, and on the other was a rising star of the Xiao clan. Just what sparks would fly when they met, and could anyone predict what was going to happen?
