Chapter 2241 - 2233: Can’t Afford to Stay
"Father, rest assured, once I enter the Holy Sect, I will surely strive in my cultivation and break through to the Supreme Realm as soon as possible!" Song Shaokang vowed with confidence.
Song Fu nodded with a smile: "You’ve awakened the Holy Veins. With the talent of your Holy Veins and the resources of the Holy Sect, I believe it won’t be long before you break through to the Supreme Realm!"
"But after you enter the Holy Sect, you must be cautious. Even among the Saint Heirs and the elders, there are struggles. You must choose your factions wisely!"
Song Shaokang nodded: "Don’t worry, Father!"
...
Time passed.
Two months went by.
The Beast Emperor Sect had sealed off Thunder Land, but two months passed without finding any trace of Huang Xiaolong. Later, under pressure from the Beidou Sword Sect and others, they were forced to lift the blockade.
During these two months, Huang Xiaolong was not in a hurry to leave Thunder Land. After leaving Thunder Flame Sea, he stayed in a secluded valley within Thunder Land to start refining the Thunder Dragon Divine Fruit.
While refining the Thunder Dragon Divine Fruit, Huang Xiaolong let the Beast Barbaric Thunder Pearl continuously devour the Thunder Spiritual Qi of Thunder Land.
Two months later, Huang Xiaolong completely refined the Thunder Dragon Divine Fruit.
After refining the Thunder Dragon Divine Fruit, Huang Xiaolong was delighted to discover that his Three Great Holy Veins had recovered to sixty percent, and his overall strength had also been restored to fifty percent of his peak.
The effect of the Thunder Dragon Divine Fruit was much better than Huang Xiaolong had anticipated.
Moreover, while devouring the Thunder Dragon Divine Fruit, the overflowing Thunder Energy was devoured by the Beast Barbaric Thunder Pearl, allowing it to recover very quickly. Now, the Beast Barbaric Thunder Pearl had also recovered by about forty to fifty percent.
Afterward, Huang Xiaolong stayed in the depths of Thunder Land for another month before leaving with Zhang Wenyue and the others for the capital of the Biluo Dynasty.
However, Huang Xiaolong was not in a hurry to get to the capital of the Biluo Dynasty. On the way, he cultivated by devouring Heaven and Earth Spiritual Elixirs, and whenever he passed by royal capitals and encountered items containing Thunder Spiritual Qi and Fire Spiritual Energy, he bought them to let the Beast Barbaric Thunder Pearl and the Four Great Divine Flames devour them.
As a result, the Beast Barbaric Thunder Pearl and the Four Great Divine Flames recovered rapidly as well.
As for the Treasure Golden Pig, needless to say, due to consuming ten Top-grade Chaos Spiritual Stones daily, its recovery was the fastest.
A year and two months later.
After stopping and going all the way, Huang Xiaolong and his companions finally arrived at the capital of the Biluo Dynasty.
Standing before the gates of the Biluo Dynasty’s capital, Zhang Wenyue, Zhang Haochen, and Prince Qian stared intently for a long time, unable to hide the shock in their hearts.
The Biluo Dynasty, ruling over thousands of kingdoms, had a capital whose prosperity and vastness were far beyond what Zhang Wenyue and the others could imagine.
Along the way, they had seen many royal capitals.
But compared to the capital of the Biluo Dynasty, these royal capitals seemed narrow and dilapidated.
From all directions, strong individuals and Sect Disciples from various kingdoms gathered into streams of people constantly pouring into the gates of the Biluo capital.
The Biluo capital gates have separate entrances and exits, each a hundred feet wide, yet still somewhat crowded.
Before, in some royal capitals, it was rare to see Dominator Realm experts, but now, amidst the crowd, Huang Xiaolong saw several Dominator Realm experts, though they were only at the Dominator Initial Stage.
However, even Dominator Realm experts must abide by the regulations of the Biluo capital and obediently follow the crowd forward.
"Let’s go!" After pausing for a while, Huang Xiaolong said to Zhang Wenyue and the others.
The three returned to their senses, followed Huang Xiaolong, and entered the gates of the Biluo capital with the crowd.
Upon entering the gate, each of them paid one Holy Currency.
According to the rules of the Biluo capital, non-residents must pay one Holy Currency to enter or exit. Even Dominators are no exception, only Supreme Realm experts have the privilege to ignore this regulation.
In fact, whether in the Biluo Dynasty or other dynasties, or on the Tian Niu Li Continent, only Supreme Realm experts enjoy many privileges.
So in the Holy Land, the Supreme Realm expert is a huge watershed.
In the Holy Land, the status and position of Supreme Realm experts and half-step Supremes are worlds apart, even if it’s just a Supreme First Rank, it is far more elevated than that of a half-step Supreme.
Having been in the Holy World for almost two years, Huang Xiaolong had keenly felt the vast difference between the Supreme Realm and the Dominator Realm.
"It seems I need to break through to the Supreme Realm as soon as possible!" After entering the capital, looking at the bustling crowd around him, Huang Xiaolong thought to himself.
Now, his strength had completely recovered and had even surpassed his previous peak, nearing the Dominator Ninth Stage Early Peak, just a hair’s breadth away.
"Young Master, should we find a hotel to stay in first?" Zhang Wenyue asked Huang Xiaolong.
Having spent over a year together with Huang Xiaolong, the two had become "friends" with no secrets between them.
Upon arriving at the legendary capital of the Biluo Dynasty, Zhang Wenyue was full of joy, her pretty face brimming with excitement.
Seeing Zhang Wenyue’s excited little face, Huang Xiaolong smiled and said, "Alright!"
After all, having arrived at the Biluo capital, there’s no rush to head to the Holy Sect’s branch.
Of course, Huang Xiaolong didn’t mention to Zhang Wenyue and the others about his intention to join the Holy Sect during this trip to the Biluo capital.
Soon, Huang Xiaolong and his companions arrived at a hotel called Fragrance Hotel. This Fragrance Hotel is one of the largest in the Biluo Dynasty, with branches in many royal capitals under Biluo rule, and it had been their hotel of choice during their journey.
Huang Xiaolong liked the hotel’s layout, and the Spirit Wood and Spirit Jade used were the best among hotels, beneficial for cultivation.
Of course, the price was steep; a regular room costs one hundred Holy Currency per night, while the best superior courtyard costs ten thousand Holy Currency per night!
Ten thousand Holy Currency per night is a luxury that even a deacon at the Great Emperor Realm from the Beidou Sword Sect would hesitate to afford.
After entering the hotel, Zhang Wenyue, without waiting for Huang Xiaolong to instruct, quickly walked over to the front desk and said to the attendant, "I want a superior courtyard!"
Throughout the journey, Huang Xiaolong had always stayed in superior courtyards.
The attendant was taken aback, looking at Zhang Wenyue with incredulous eyes.
He immediately noticed that Zhang Wenyue was merely at the Heavenly Monarch Realm and had just broken through.
Generally speaking, those who can afford to stay in a superior courtyard at the Fragrance Hotel are Dominator high-level experts and above.
Before the attendant could speak, a young Sect Disciple beside him mocked, "Little girl, which small family of which small kingdom are you from? You must be new here, right? Do you know that staying in a superior courtyard at the Fragrance Hotel costs ten thousand Holy Currency per night? A little Heavenly Monarch First-stage like you couldn’t afford it even if you sold yourself entirely!"
This young Sect Disciple, dressed in black brocade, bore a giant bird emblem—the mark of an Inner Sect Disciple of the Nine Heavens Sect.
An Inner Sect Disciple of the Nine Heavens Sect is revered by many, even in the Biluo capital.
