--- Chapter 235 ---
A week later.
Yu Long stared at the meditating Chu Yuechan on the Primordial Profound Ark's deck and sighed because the aloof maid didn't seem to be exiting her epiphany states soon.
However, this is not bad.
From Chu Yuechan's dim aura, Yu Long could sense the martial intent she grasped was rare and firm. The excellent sharpness and spatial closeness exceed that of ordinary Sword Intent.
Without a doubt, Chu Yuechan will become an expert when she exits her epiphany state.
Until that day, Yu Long would protect her.
"When will she wake up, Master?" Asked Chu Yueli, who was snacking on pickled radish. She has been eating food that Yona prepared for some reason.Recently, Yona learned how to cook, and Chu Yueli walked forward to test whether they were edible for Yu Long or poisonous. Of course, they are just ploys, as Chu Yueli would never let Yona's cooking pass.
Chu Yueli found Yona's cooking edible, but are they delicious?
No, they taste absolutely horrible.
She would never let Yu Long taste horrible food.
In the beginning, Yu Long tasted Yona's food once.
He got his tongue taste buds burned for a whole day.
That's an achievement no one has ever done.
Yu Long smiled wryly at Chu Yueli, "I don't know. At this rate, it could be weeks, months, and even years."
"This is one of the wonders about Cultivation World."
"Thankfully, Chu Yuechan's body doesn't need sustenance as long as there is Profound Energy in the atmosphere."
"By the way, how were Xiao Lingxi and Yona? You're in charge of teaching them how to cultivate, no?"
Chu Yueli wiped her mouth and hands clean with a blue handkerchief and replied, "They are horrible..."
"I don't know how, but they are inadequate at absorbing knowledge."
"I explained everything in the most basic form that even kids could understand, but they couldn't understand the simplest breathing sequence."
"But well... We did make some progress."
"Xiao Lingxi has reached the 1st Stage of True Profound Realm."
"As for Yona, she has reached the 5th Stage of True Profound Realm."
"Maybe I'm just a bad teacher." She added self-condescendingly.
Yu Long chuckled, "That's not true. You taught some people, and they just came out good."
"Xiao Lingxi and Yona are special cases, I believe."
Unknown to Chu Yueli and Yu Long, the problem lies within the Profound Arts that Xiao Lingxi and Yona cultivate.
Yu Long has created tailor-made Profound Arts for Xiao Lingxi and Yona, but they are too profound for them.
For Xiao Lingxi, Yu Long created [Nothingness Sutra].
And for Yona, Yu Long created [Mana Pulse Sutra].
Yona can learn slightly faster than Xiao Lingxi because she still possesses the faster-running mind of Xuanyuan Yufeng, modified by Pandora. She is like a blank canvas that needs ink.
On the other hand, Xiao Lingxi is just a village girl. She doesn't have a formal education about Profound Way.
Do not ever think she would be a miraculous genius just because she was the Ancestral God's reincarnation. The truth is uglier than that.
After losing her reincarnation status, Xiao Lingxi's only advantage is her Sacred Physique. Her mind isn't enhanced or anything.
Yu Long glanced at the small forest below the Primordial Profound Ark that he made out of boredom. There is a running river and a grassy field nearby, too.
On the grassy field is Xiao Lingxi meditating with a heartfelt yet solemn expression.
Near the small river is Yona, staring at her blank-faced reflection on the running water.
They look depressed, which makes Yu Long feel amused.
"It's like watching a doe tumble on its step."
"The struggle is real."
Yu Long closed his eyes and heard the sound of thunderclaps from the ground. 'Well, the grandfather and grandson duo is doing their best on training the Way of Thunderer.'
'I can't wait to see their progress. The more they progress, the more reference I could get to improve the [Art of Thunder and Lightning].'
Yu Long actually doesn't need Yun Canghai and Yun Che's service. But he always expected interesting development from them.
Everything can happen in this god-forsaken world, after all.
From the corner of Yu Long's eyes, he noticed a green dot approaching the Plain of Solitude.
"God Master." Tempest landed on the Primordial Profound Ark in her humanoid form.
"How was the situation?" Yu Long asked calmly.
Tempest answered with a dark expression, "As you said, God Master."
"The Heavenly King of Stone and Heavenly King of Song really planned something behind everyone's back. I can't enter their territories at all."
"They have sealed every channel."
"One thing for sure, they are ready for their grand plan."
"What about Little Turtle?" Yu Long nodded in understanding.
Tempest's dark expression darkened, "Old Turtle is doing some random divination."
"He told me it was to get great luck, but I doubt it."
"Great luck..." Chu Yueli's mouth twitched.
Tempest gave Chu Yueli a scary look, "Dead Star Lake and Star River are dangerous places. And that Old Turtle is overcautious as fuck."
"You wouldn't see him coming out of his damn shell without defensive treasures."
"Well, he's a turtle." Yu Long couldn't help but comment.
The Heavenly King of the North was busy preparing stuff in his territory and suddenly sneezed. The turtle cursed because someone was talking behind his back.
Tempest huffed and continued, "The Secret Realm's opening will open in twelve hours. The Heavenly Kings have moved, except for me, Old Turtle, and that monster Greed."
"Greed..." Yu Long frowned slightly.
The Heavenly King of Greed is the first-ranked in the Heavenly King Ranking.
Tempest and Old Turtle didn't know where he was coming from.
Not only that, but they also don't know what species he was.
All they knew about the most mysterious Heavenly King was that his body consisted of scale-like obsidian armor and a red misty aura. Sometimes, they saw claws, wings, and an extra pair of eyes, but that's it.
Heavenly King of Greed is 'immensely' strong. He could solo the rest of Heavenly Kings alone, which left them confused about why he didn't take over the Illusory Demon Realm for himself.
"Where is the Secret Realm's opening?" Yu Long was curious. Although he has devoured the Heavenly King of Burning Venom's memory, some old memories weren't 'actually' in it.
Yes, including the secret realm's location.
Tempest pointed at the east, "There."
Yu Long and Chu Yueli stared at the area but found nothing there. There are only mountains, forests, and obviously the faint blue sea.
"Where?" Chu Yueli tilted her head in confusion.
Tempest laughed, "You can't see with naked eyes, but that entire area will become a completely different world in twelve hours. The mountain will become volcanic, the forests will become barren lands, and the ocean..."
"Well, it is the Dead Star Lake."
"No way..." Chu Yueli was shocked. She has seen and read many bizarre events, but this is her first time learning such an event could happen.
Yu Long stared at the empty distance, "A domain."
"But to cover all those areas, the domain must be energy consuming."
"This only happens twice a year according to Burning Venom's memory. That's once every six months. A normal secret realm would have a longer cooldown period, yet this one opens frequently."
"For example, Heaven Basin Secret Realm."
"This secret realm cannot be this cheap. Not, it was too inviting as if asking people to find it."
"This..." Yu Long stared at the bright sun in the clear blue sky.
"It's not you, right?"
