--- Chapter 79 ---

Yu Long decided to stay in the Divine Phoenix City for today.

After eliminating some rats, he wasn't in the mood to travel back to the Drifting River City, even though he could do so in the blink of an eye.

Fortunately, Yu Long has a dependable subordinate like Hua Minghai to replace the ungrateful ones. As for Ru Xiaoya, he would see if the wife of the Ghost Mirage Sacred Hand possesses the heart of a cultivator and some comprehension talent first.

Yu Long received the Extreme Mirage Lightning from Hua Minghai.

It was a hereditary movement-type profound art from the Hua Clan, and Hua Minghai couldn't share it this easily with others, but Yu Long saved his wife and the lord he must serve from now on.

Weirdly, Yu Long also wanted a few drops of Hua Minghai's blood, which confused the thief, but still agreed to the request nonetheless.

Analyzing Hua Minghai's blood, Yu Long discovered an interesting fact about Hua Clan's ancestors.

They were neither Beast, God, or Devil Race.

They were nothing but ancient humans who gained inspiration from the Age of Gods and created [Dawnbreak Chase Art] to run away from destruction, imprinting it to their bloodline.

The Hua Clan passed it down from generation to generation.

However, the Dawnbreak Chase Art gradually weakened into the Extreme Mirage Lightning because of the cruel difference in eras. The human of this age couldn't possibly endure the intensity of having one's body constantly stimulated with lightning charge.

Even then, Extreme Mirage Lightning still contained the concept of extreme speed from Lightning itself.

The stealth ability it provided proved effective for Hua Minghai, who could trick and outrun experts at two 'major' realms above him.

"Hmm, I could have unearthed [Dawnbreak Chase Art] like what I did to the [Ice Phoenix God Investiture Canon], but what Hua Minghai needs currently isn't that."

"He didn't lack the means of escape, but fight."

With that in mind, Yu Long let his creative thoughts wander around the new [Art Series] he accumulated over the past three years.

The [Orthodox] and [Unorthodox] Paths will decide whether Hua Minghai will advance later.

"Let's begin..." Yu Long closed his eyes and meditated.

On the outside, it looks like Yu Long brooded for only three minutes, but he actually spent around three hours or so in his mind space.

Since Yu Long got a new subordinate, he couldn't let the man down.

Searching for Hua Minghai, Yu Long spotted him with his wife.

Yu Long walked on them, hugging each other while watching the garden, and bitterly smiled. "This is your first gift from me. Train well." He sent a sound transmission, and information suddenly rushed to Hua Minghai's head.

Hua Minghai's eyes widened in shock because a profound art book appeared in his head.

This profound art is not like others, giving Hua Minghai a headache by simply reciting the first five pages of it.

A name also echoed in his head.

[Unorthodox - Dark Speed Force]

"..." Hua Minghai couldn't hide his shock.

"What happened? Why did you look so stunned?" Ru Xiaoya, his wife, asked worriedly.

Hua Minghai put on a wry expression and replied, "Well... It seems we are more indebted to the lord now."

Unknown to Hua Minghai, this is just the beginning.

Yu Long facepalmed, "Ayaya, what an embarrassing performance."

"Hmph, if you can do better, step on the stage then!" Someone coldly harrumphed beside Yu Long.

Yu Long glanced at the spot beside him and spotted a young lady in a red robe. With light brown hair, matching eyes, an oval face, and a sharp nose, the tiger coat on her back makes her look fierce.

"Are you talking to me?" He tilted his head.

The young lady crossed her hand and commented, "Yes, do you have a problem with it? People like you are all bark, no talk."

"You comment on others, but I bet you couldn't even reach more than yellow level like that guy."

Yu Long chuckled in amusement because this young lady was probably looking down on him as she couldn't detect anything special about his current cultivation.

Yes, Yu Long looks and feels no different than an ordinary young master with no cultivation base currently. And it is because of his precise control over profound strength.

"Oh, what if I could reach more than that fellow?" He narrowed his eyes at the young lady.

"Hmph, then this lady will bestow you a Profound Ark!" The young lady confidently replied.

"Don't regret it later."

'I will make a profit with one punch.' Yu Long snickered inside and walked to the crystal stone stage, gaining everyone's attention. His step is firm, causing a loud thud on the ground every step.

"Hmm?" On the highest floor of the pagoda, an elderly dressed in purple robes noticed a person who caught his interest. "His breath is steady, and he strode with confidence..."

"I can't sense his cultivation base for some reason..."

"But I felt like I had seen him somewhere else before. Black hair, golden eyes, with a mysterious aura around him." As the purple-robed elder pondered deeply, his eyes met Yu Long's.

"Eh?"

"Did he feel my gaze? There is no way. The highest floor of my Black Moon Pagoda is 'thoroughly' covered with arrays formation."

Yu Long ignored the elder's gaze and stared at the profound array before him. He lifted his right hand and balled it into a fist.

All of a sudden, everyone felt suffocated, including the purple-robed elder.

Yu Long casually threw his hand. It was slow and not flashy compared to the man's attack before.

Regardless, the force behind this lackluster punch was enough to make the purple-robed elder flustered in disbelief.

"No way, No way, NO WAY!" A core memory flashed in the purple-robed elder's mind. "That young man is..."

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!

The profound array experienced a blast.

Yu Long's fist gently pushed the array of stones, causing it to crack.

As the crack spread like spider webs, immense energy traveled into the array. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and purple colors blinked one after another rapidly.

CRACK!

The crystal stone stage shattered into seven pieces.

"..." Everyone.

"..." Purple-robed elder.

"..." The young lady.

Yu Long smiled and stretched his hand at the young lady, "Where is my Profound Ark? Give it to me."
