Dragon Martial Emperor
chapter-118-30041322

Long Yu was suddenly curious to find out about the people who were involved in fighting.

This bamboo forest was used as practice ground by elders and Zhenling level disciples, but there weren’t many Zhenling level disciples in Zhentian Sect.

In other words, the people who were battling right now were most likely the elders!

There were 13 elders in Elder Court and Wu Jianxin had been crippled and expelled from the sect, leaving only 12 elders and each was an expert of at least Zhenling third layer.

It could be said that Long Yu was the weakest person to enter this place.

After entering into the Zhenling realm, now he could finally interact with the strongest figures of Zhentian Sect.

“Demon Wings!”

Long Yu stimulated the circulation of Xuan qi and two white wings appeared on his back and spread up to 10 feet on both sides. And he suddenly felt his whole body become extremely light.

“Let’s go demon wings!”

Long Yu’s body floated in the air and as he flapped the wings, he began to fly forward while simultaneously maneuvering through the bamboo forest!

His present speed was several times more than the speed granted by ‘flickering wing step’ or blizzard boots individually.

Long Yu displayed excellent maneuvering skills and soon arrived at the place from where the battle noise was being transmitted!

Afterward, he put away the demon wings and stood calmly in the shade of bamboo groves. He actually saw few people gathered in the field surrounded by bamboo groves from all sides.

In the field, there was a middle-aged man in white clothing fighting with a noble woman in black dress. It seemed like these two were involved in a practice match.

Long Yu had seen them in Elder Court once before. They were one of the strongest elders of Zhentian Sect.

“Haha, Brother Long, I didn’t expect to see you here.”

With an uninhibited loud laugh, a black-robed figure arrived next to Long Yu.

Long Yu turned his head and saw Bu Xing standing beside him.

“Brother Bu, you are also watching this battle?”

Long Yu was somewhat surprised but it actually made him feel relieved. It was good that there was a mutual understanding among the people here, or else things could get really embarrassing at times.

“Yes, I am learning a lot from this practice match between Elder Yu and Elder Yan. These two have already congealed Zhenling entities and I am profiting a lot by observing this battle.”

Bu Xing laughed.

The white clothed middle-aged man was named Yu Shengshi and the noble woman in white was called Yan Huanmo. Both of them were at Zhenling fourth layer.

But, Long Yu was obviously a bit late because this battle had already reached its end.

“Sister Yan is really so fierce. I feel ashamed to have lost yet again, ha ha.”

The middle-aged man gently smiled and put away his sword.

“I will go now.”

Yan Huanmo indifferently said and turned around to leave. She appeared very cold and desolate from her demeanor.

But before leaving, she glanced at Long Yu and seemed somewhat surprised.

A new face.

Yan Huanmo thought then vanished from there.

Long Yu looked at her from behind and could not help but secretly admire her. She looked about 25 or 26 years old but was already at Zhenling fourth layer.

It seemed like there were a lot of talented people in Zhentian Sect.

When Yan Huanmo was gone, Yu Shengshi arrived beside Long Yu and said.

“Young Long Yu, I thought you would stay at Wudao ninth layer for quite a while, but you have shocked me by stepping into Zhenling realm so soon.”

Yu Shengshi took a good look at Long Yu from up to down and a satisfied smile spread on his face.

“Honorable elder, the credit goes to the valuable cultivation time I spent in Zhentian Sect.”

Long Yu politely said.

“Oh come on, cultivation time my ass. In the world of martial arts, success total depends on your own abilities and hard work.”

Yu Shengshi laughed and patted Long Yu’ shoulder: “The sect indeed gives you a calm and stable cultivation environment, but making its good use is something only a few can do.”

Long Yu was surprised to see this middle-aged elder openly using foul language.

Long Yu was quite impressed to see that Elder Yu Shengshi did not adhere to convention and was quite a friendly elder.

Unfortunately, he did not get a chance to see the practice match between these two elders!

“Well, if you cultivate here for a long time, you get to see these practice matches from time to time.”

Bu Xing smiled: “Now come with me, we will first find a bamboo room for you to rest. On the way to leading a pious life and cultivation, it all comes down to simplicity. As for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, we’ll send someone over.”

“En.”

Long Yu nodded then followed after Bu Xing.

The elders of Zhentian Sect got a new topic to chat on, yes, a new Zhenling disciple called Long Yu!

Only a few months had passed since Long Yu joined Zhentian Sect, but his cultivation level increased at a sky-rocketing speed. Now, the elders had no choice but to pay attention to him.

Long Yu causally looked at this simple looking bamboo house and proceeded to take rest.

The bamboo furnishings inside the bamboo house looked very simple with a small bamboo couch, a bamboo table, a bamboo chair, but nothing else was there in the room.

The dinner was also simple and delivered especially by a law-enforcement elder.

A law-enforcement elder was like a hard-and-fast existence for ordinary disciples.

However, for core disciples, Zhenling disciples and the elders of Elder Court, these so-called law-enforcement elders were basically nothing!

After dinner, a moonlit night greeted the bamboo forest.

Everyone preferred staying in their bamboo house to either rest or cultivate, so there was silence in the bamboo forest.

At night, the temperature went below freezing point in the bamboo forest, enough to freeze ordinary people to death.

However, that didn’t affect experts of Zhenling realm.

“It was tough to practice intoxicated hell but once practiced to the peak level, its power is now enough to kill enemies almost instantly.”

“The practice method is similar for Awakening Palm samsara and only a Zhenling realm expert can practice it. And it’s hard to believe that by using this move, I can actually impact and infiltrate the reincarnations of an opponent.”

The explanation regarding the impact on an opponent’s reincarnations was engraved in the memories of Nine Hidden Dragon Mark, but Long Yu did not know this move’s specific effects.

“Perhaps, I must find a test subject in order to learn its effects…… Of course, that will have to wait till I successfully practice awakening palm samsara.”

Long Yu thought and started following the steps recorded in Nine Hidden Dragon Mark’s memories, he began to circulate Xuan qi within his body in a certain route in order to invoke awakening palm samsara.

As soon as Xuan qi began to circulate in his meridians, he felt a very strange power surging within his body.

“Is this the intended path of reincarnation forces? But how can I infiltrate an opponent’s reincarnation and what would happen if I actually succeed in doing so?”

Long Yu was quite curious to know the exact impact of this technique on an opponent.

But now was not the time to be curious. He must first reach the beginner level of this technique and then he would need to find a test subject!

However, Long Yu soon realized that he had underestimated the difficulty of practicing this technique.

It was actually a best-grade spirit level martial skill!

One must know that there wasn’t a single best-grade spirit level skill in the entire Zhentian Sect, and to be honest, there were extremely few skills like that in the entire Tang State!

So one could imagine the might of this technique as well as the difficulty it would pose in front of a practitioner.

Long Yu practiced all night and continued until sunrise. He stopped when he heard someone knocking on the door.

“Come in.”

Long Yu said.

The bamboo door was pushed open and a tender figure clad in a blue robe appeared in Long Yu’s sight.

Liao Lele!

Long Yu was surprised to see her. How did she find out about his whereabouts?

Liao Lele leaned against the door, curled her lips and asked: “What happened, you don’t seem particularly happy to see me?”

“Skip that and come to the point, what brings you here?”

Long Yu asked directly.

Disciples who had not yet stepped into Zhenling realm were not allowed to enter this bamboo grove. Then how did she manage to come here? Did she get a special permit from Old White?

“I have come to deliver food. What? You don’t want?”

Liao Lele laughed loudly: “Oh right, my teacher has sent this for you, here take it.”

She placed a tray filled with dumplings on the bamboo table then took out a porcelain bottle which seemed to contain immortality pills and tossed it toward him.

“What is this?”

Long Yu pointed to that small porcelain bottle and asked.

“You will find out once you open it.”

Liao Lele placed it on the bamboo table, turned around and waved her hand: “I will leave now. You will see me again at noon.”

“Again?”

Long Yu seemed somewhat shocked.

“I am going to deliver three meals to you every day. Get mentally prepared for that.”

Liao Lele proudly smiled, then closed the door abruptly and bounced away.

“……”

Long Yu wondered; didn’t he choose to practice here because his intention was to stay away from this energetic girl.

He never expected her to find him here!

But, he did not know that just when she turned around, a sad look had appeared in her beautiful eyes.

She was not a fool. How could she not know that Long Yu came to this bamboo forest to stay away from her?

At this time, she did not know what to do. She did not want him to get away from her, rather she wanted to get close to Long Yu, a little closer, a little closer, a little closer again until these distances between the two vanished forever….

(Mystique – Reminds me of the song ‘These distances a.k.a Yeh Dooriyan’)

Long Yu looked at the dumplings for a moment. Then, he picked up the small bottle, opened the lid and a strong fragrance of medicine immediately spread throughout the room.

“This is a spiritual level immortality pill!”

Long Yu raised his eyebrows.

He originally speculated that this small bottle contained immortality pills, but he never expected to find a spiritual level immortality pill inside it!

He knew that a spiritual level immortality pill’s value was equivalent to the value of a spiritual level battle weapon.

“It is actually a top-grade spiritual level immortality pill.”

A hesitant look invaded his face when he poured out the pill on his palm.

He was well aware of this pill being priceless.

It was certainly going to have a strong effect on the cultivation level of a cultivator.

But, why would Old White give him such a priceless item without any explanation whatsoever?

Wait, did Old White really order this happy-go-lucky girl to come here?

Long Yu did not know!

He continued to ponder while grasping a round shape pill in his palm. Although it was not heavy, its true significance was quite heavy.
