--- Chapter 69 ---

Around a big and long dinner table, Yu Long and his family gathered for a New Year celebration.

However, when Yu Long randomly dropped a bomb about him wanting to enter seclusion, they were shocked.

"What? You're planning to enter seclusion?" Yu Long's family members are staring at him with bewilderment.

Yu Long shrugged and answered casually, "My profound arts have reached a bottleneck and need a reference to break through."

"Both are stuck at level 10, and I can't do anything about it for now."

"Level 10..." Xu Sanshan mumbled solemnly.

Within the Shadow Realm and Lost Heaven Sect, Profound Arts' mastery is categorized by levels.

Level one is the lowest, and level ten is the highest.

Only a handful of people could reach Level 7 Mastery, and those people have a deep comprehension of their profound arts.

Level 8 is when one's profound arts reach the aesthetic realm, where one's energy manipulation is so smooth that there is no need for extra movement when executing a skill.

With a simple finger flick, a force generated may exceed one's cultivation.

Level 9 is even more abnormal. People who reached this level have fully traced and integrated their profound arts into nature.

Energy consumption was 'abruptly' reduced by 90%.

They also could produce a domain and even defeat someone one 'major' realm higher than themselves.

As for Level 10, Xu Sanshan couldn't imagine how god-like it was.

Only Yu Long reached this realm so far.

Besides him, Xu Sanshan believed Xia Qingyue, the little granddaughter-in-law, could grasp Level 10 Mastery.

"Where are you going?" Yu Xin asked about the 'important' matter first.

Yu Long smiled, "Wasteland of Death."

"Wasteland of Death?" Everyone sighed in relief.

They thought Yu Long would go somewhere far away. The Wasteland of Death is only a few hundred thousand miles from the Lost Heaven Sect.

The Wasteland of Death is a land that was left to grow wild. The entire wasteland was 'thoroughly' overrun with dry, withered grass and rocks lined the rugged terrain.

Spanning nine hundred and fifty kilometers long and eight hundred kilometers wide, countless profound beasts roamed the wasteland, and these profound beasts were mostly wild and ferocious. It is one of the three most dangerous areas within the Blue Wind Empire. The number of profound beasts within it is at least a hundred times more than the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range. It is heaven for profound beasts and hell for practitioners.

Along with its reputation, its dense population of profound beasts attracts large numbers of practitioners and treasure hunters.

Every year, the deaths of practitioners within the rugged land number more than a hundred thousand, and thus, the place was named Wasteland of Death.

However, this only applies to weak people.

Xu Sanshan and Xu Nannan have been on the Wasteland of Death several times. They knew the 'strongest' beast there was only at Sky Profound Realm.

"But why the Wasteland of Death?" The grandmother asked with a confused expression.

"There is a God Legacy there." Yu Long answered honestly. They have long known about Yuyan's existence and power, so 'God Legacy' isn't a new topic.

Still, they are shocked.

"Wait, wait, are you sure there is a God Legacy there?"

"Your grandfather and I have been to the Wasteland of Death several times. But we never discovered anything special."

"Please forgive my rudeness, but A Legacy of Gods won't show itself to unworthy people." Yuyan suddenly opened her mouth. "Sometimes, to find it, one must depend on fate and destiny."

"This is what you call a Lucky Chance or Fortuitous Encounter."

"Fate and destiny." Cang Yue stared at Yu Long with her bright eyes.

Yuyan smirked and commented, "Hehe, It seems Cang Yue has gotten the gist of it."

"Are you saying that my son is a lucky fellow?" Yu Zhan couldn't help but laugh. "You're good at joking, Yuyan."

"I'm not joking, Lord Yu."

"Think about it. It would be weird if my Master isn't lucky(Considering the amount of karma he had)." Yuyan recalled when she viewed Yu Long's past life.

On the side, Xia Qingyue smiled because she also could view Yu Long's greatness like Cang Yue. As she becomes older, her vision also becomes more profound.

She could discern more abstract matters like luck.

Yu Long has abundant luck, making his soul appear like a beautiful golden sun.

After a while, everyone finished their food.

"So, when are you going to depart?" Yu Zhan leaned on his chair as he stared at his youngest son.

Yu Long put on a thoughtful expression and responded, "Maybe in a week or two."

"I wanna spend more time with family before going to the Wasteland of Death."

Before Yu Zhan could speak, Yu Xin grinned and gave Yu Long a thumb-up, "As expected of my son, you know spending more with family is also important."

"You've been locking yourself, so mother is sad." She added with a low humph.

A wry expression appeared on Yu Long's handsome face because he was indeed spending less and less time with his family. He was chasing for a breakthrough.

For the next two weeks, Yu Long did nothing but spend more of his time with his family members and companions. Although he doesn't train, his state of mind becomes calmer.

Oh, Yu Long is also formally engaged with Xia Qingyue and Cang Yue now.

After the relentless persuasion from his family, Yu Long could only accept his fate and walked on the path of polygamy. Well, having more wives is encouraged when one is as capable as him.

Of course, it won't stop with just the two girls.

"GET AWAY FROM THIS PLACE, SCRAM!"

"Well, that wasn't a warm welcome." Yu Long commented casually.

"Let me handle them." Chu Yueli said while floating forward.

No one stopped the Fairy of the Frozen Glass as they watched her approaching the profound beasts.

The cold beauty exuded intense chill.

"Chronicle of Frozen World - All Things Ice." Chu Yueli pushed her hand and created a freezing wave beyond the Flood Dragons' strength.

"W-What!"

"NOOO!"

The profound beasts couldn't even dodge and turn into ice sculptures.

"Wow..." Lily clapped her hands in amazement.

"Hmm, not bad." Hong Guan felt the ice was very strong, similar to her fire.

On the other side, Yuyan had this proud mom look on her face, which made Yu Long roll his eyes.

"I raised that girl!"

"Yeah, yeah, I know." Yu Long ignored the Emerald Phoenix and landed on the ground, scanning the area. He saw a rock formation and discovered an entrance into a cave.

"This is it." He grinned. "Hong Guan, can you place an array around the area?"

"Also, add an illusion array so no other people will disturb us."

"Consider it done." Hong Guan responded and disappeared.

Yuyan peeked into the cave and mumbled, "So, this is where the Dragon God Trial Ground resides... No wonder I have never heard of him."

"He picked this land of all places."

A few minutes later, Hong Guan returned and reported, "Done, and I didn't sense any humans' presence in the ten-mile radius."

"Good."

"Let's greet the Dragon God, shall we?"

They entered the cave and were 'immediately' greeted with a massive chamber surrounded by tall stone walls. It was dark, but they could still see because of their sensitivities.

A pair of massive, azure-colored eyes appeared in the air. Each eye possessed a slit, which gave off intense pressure.

"Welcome to my trial, Humans!" A deep voice invaded their ears.

"This is Dragon God Trial Ground, and by completing it, you will receive my legacy."

"Normally, the difficulty isn't hard, but since you, young man, brought six more people, the difficulties will be increased drastically."

"You can tell them to wait outside-!"

"No, let me experience your trial at the highest difficulty." Yu Long responded confidently.

The azure eyes squinted, "You're but a mere mortal at Sky Profound Realm."

"Don't bite more than you can chew, or you will regret it."

"I won't. Now give me your hardest trials." Yu Long insisted.

"Let him take your toughest trials, Dragon God. Normal trials won't work on him." Yuyan finally spoke her mind.

"Who..." The Dragon God suddenly felt a familiar presence.

The azure eyes widened in shock.

"P-Phoenix, you are alive!?"

"Yes." Yuyan returned nonchalantly.

"But how?"

Yuyan smirked and answered, "My Master revived me."

"He gave me this new body and power."

"Master? Reviving you. That's impossible!" The Dragon God couldn't believe his ears for a moment. He doubted Yuyan.

"The Era of Gods eliminated the Primordial Aura that sustains our lives!"

"Some Gods could seal their strength and stay alive, but their condition is no different than a corpse..."

"You, on the other hand, look like you have gotten constructed again from scratch."

"Very perceptive." Yuyan acknowledged the Dragon God's sense.

"But I didn't lie."

"The revival is not impossible because my existence is the best living proof of it."

"Hehe, Let me introduce you to my master." Yuyan walked and hugged Yu Long from behind. "His name is Yu Long, the Kaiju Maker."

"Kaiju Maker..." The Dragon God and Yu Long's companion stared at Yu Long.

Yu Long felt their gazes and understood that he had to explain this matter himself. Well, it's about time to reveal his power.

"Nice to meet you, Dragon God." Yu Long walked boldly toward the azure eyes. "My name is Yu Long."

"I'm Kaiju Maker."

"In short, I was able to create Kaiju, or Monsters if you want to call it that with my power."

"Also... From now on, we will be roommates."

"Let's get along." Yu Long's golden eyes released faint electricity.

And that's how Yu Long met one of the 'strongest' existents in the Primal Chaos. This is the start of their brotherhood!
