LDP S3: The Jewel of the Underworld

Ch. 24 — Attractive Youth!

As time went on, the number of swords hanging in the sky became less and less. However, the power of the sword attack that was pointing towards him became even stronger.

After a fierce fight that was for quite a long time, Heilong was finally able to conquer all of those swords and gain the recognition of the Sword Dao.

Heilong finally returned to the real world and immediately withdrew his hand from the sword before him.

The voice of a strand of Xiao Zhao's soul reverberated. “Congratulations! You have finally mastered the Sword Dao. However, what you got back then was only the initial foundation of the Sword Dao. You must train it as often as possible so that your sword technique attacks become sharper.”

Heilong listened carefully to all the explanations spoken by a single piece of Xiao Zhao's soul very carefully and not a single sentence was missed about the Sword Dao.

He also knew that the true Sword Dao was also divided into nine tiers just like the number of tiers at his cultivation level and his current Sword Dao comprehension was only at the fourth level.

Heilong's move to attain perfection in the Sword Dao had not yet reached half the journey. However, the fourth level Sword Dao seemed to be enough for Heilong who was currently still at the early Divine God Level. Because, if he forced himself then his body would be destroyed due to the backlash from the Sword Dao.

“How long did I spend to get the Sword Dao?”

During his time in the subconscious to conquer the Sword Dao, Heilong's consciousness was completely cut off with the flow of time in the real world. Thus, it was only natural that Heilong did not know how long he had spent to earn the acknowledgement of the Sword Dao.

“Two years!” Xiao Zhao's soul replied firmly.

Heilong was speechless when he heard the reply of Xiao Zhao's soul. For, two years is not a short time just to learn a Dao. However, if it was associated with the power of such a mysterious Dao, it felt like two years of time was a decent price.

In addition, Heilong also did not know how long he had left to stay in these ancient ruins because Li Ting did not tell him at all when these ancient ruins would be covered again.

As if he could read Heilong's mind, a thread of Xiao Zhao's soul said again. “This ancient ruin can only maintain its existence in the real world for five years after which it will return to a form of energy. If you want, you can study a Dao again and spend the next half a year re-harvesting medicinal plants in the Mysterious World.”

Five years! It was good news for Heilong that he still had a chance to learn a Dao again. Surely he would take advantage of this opportunity to have the Dao who could best guarantee his safety in dangerous circumstances.

In addition, he also had the opportunity to re-harvest medicinal plants in the Mysterious World. After all, his physical body was currently still in the Mysterious World. So, he still had to return to the Mysterious World after his affairs in this light palace were finished.

In this world it felt like only Heilong could cultivate in the form of a soul or spirit. Because, Heilong was born with a dantian that had fused with his soul. If not so how could Heilong obtain additional cultivation element seeds when his spirit was thrown into Dreamland Planet and entered Long Bai's body that time.

A terrifying dao of space instantly gushed from the door and shut Heilong's body like an egg shell.

Under the pressure of such a powerful space Dao, Heilong finally re-entered the Subconscious Realm to conquer the Space Dao and gain recognition from it.

“Attractive young man! The Dao of Space and the Dao of Time were the most unique and dangerous Dao in this World. Even I who was already at the peak of the Heavenly God was unable to subdue any of the two Dao and received an extremely painful counterattack. I hope you can survive and get recognition from Dao Space.”

The soul of Xiao Zhao looked extremely shocked when he saw that Heilong had made the decision to study the Space Dao with a cultivation level that was only limited to the Divine God. Because, he alone at that time failed to obtain the Space Dao even though his cultivation level was one level higher than Heilong and instead experienced a backlash that should have kept him in closed cultivation for a thousand years to heal wound.

This time a thread of Xiao Zhao's soul no longer uttered any special sentences that could guide Heilong to gain recognition from a Dao. He just observed every change that happened to Heilong and prepared to use the rest of his soul power Heilong suddenly got a counterattack from the Space Dao.

It was not that Xiao Zhao did not want to help Heilong to gain recognition from the Space Dao. However, not a single outside disturbance was able to make up for the defense of the Space Dao including sound. So, the person who wanted to obtain the Space Dao had to rely on his own strength.

The Destroyed Battlefield.

Meanwhile, the aid of the demon army from the Zhao family that Zhao Chen had summoned while fighting against Xiao Hong finally arrived at this place.

They had all come very late because the passageway leading to this place had been completely destroyed by Heilong. So, they had to find another way that turned out to have a very long distance to make them often meet with the god's soldiers and do quite deadly fights.

Of the troops that originally numbered a thousand demon soldiers, there were now only about a hundred and fifty demons left and even then only the elites of the demon soldiers who did have quite high cultivation levels.

“Where is Zhao Chen hiding? Is it possible that he has been killed by that God called Xiao Hong?”

“There is no way Zhao Chen could be killed that easily. Although the cultivation level Zhao Chen possessed was not very high, but the ability he had in formation techniques could not be underestimated. So, it is impossible that he could be killed only by a God.”

“I agree. But, the gods also cannot be underestimated. You also know that the gods always have unpredictable plans and often use various kinds of secret techniques that are very deadly.”

These demon soldiers began to argue because they could not find anyone in this place. Even Zhao Chen's footsteps had already disappeared from being consumed by time.
