Chapter 530: The Second Banquet
The days went by one after another in the Hui mansion. Huli worked as a protector to ensure that no one interrupted Hui Yue and Cai Jie who were seated in the garden cultivating.
From ti to ti they would be seated in deep thought pondering the many mysteries of the daos they were trying to comprehend, other tis they would stand up and practice with the daos. Hui Yue especially would often stand up and practice the sword so that he could feel exactly just how far from completion of the dao he was. Although he was improving at a frightening pace, there was always sothing more he needed to comprehend.
Cai Jie was as obsessed with the dao as Hui Yue was. He was sitting beneath a tree and did not move for months on end. He was fully rged with the world around him and comprehending the mysteries of the dao of sunshine. The dao of sunshine was a dao that belonged under the dao of light, and it was quite powerful. Sunshine was needed for almost all life, and this showed just how powerful a dao it was.
During this ti, Hui Yue had also told Sha Yun about his relationship with Huli. Although the snake-woman was surprised at first, she had not gotten upset. When she heard about the history between the two, tears appeared in her eyes as she could imagine the feelings Huli had gone through before, and she fully accepted this new sister of hers.
Alongside ditating on the daos, Hui Yue spent so ti sending out ssages to the beast Gods. This world belonged to him so traveling from one part of the world to the other was as simple as taking a step.
Hui Yue had been able to pinpoint the location of the beast Gods and had given each one of them a visit to ensure that they knew that the original ten-year plan had been changed. Now they had four years to experience the world and then return to the capital. Hui Yue was going to take them with him out of the Universe Box and into the Netherworld.
As the ti went by, Hui Yue beca more and more familiar with the sword and the soul of the sword. Slowly, he becao more skilled with how the soul could be used to strengthen his attacks and improve his offensive power. After three and a half years had passed, he finally understood swordlight and succeeded in fully comprehendinged the dao of the sword.
During this ti, Deng Wu also managed to break through into the God rank, and the next person who was sent to the lonely mountain was Sha Yun. Although Deng Wu had just reached the God rank, he was at the very beginning step of being a God. He had the minimum amount of Ancestral Worldpower, but because his knowledge of the dao was so lacking, Hui Yue had told him to stay behind. He had to focus on absorbing more Ancestral Worldpower and comprehending the daos that he had begun to understand.
As four years were about to end, the beast Gods appeared in the capital, and it was not just them, Wan Qiao also appeared as well. Clearly, she had been tempted by what Hui Yue had said. She heard that the Formation of Life was currently occupied, but she was in no rush to leave Muchuan City at the mont, instead, she stayed in the Hui mansion and settled down. She started to get ready to enter the Formation of Life so she could join Hui Yue and everyone else to travel the galaxy
"You have already comprehended three daos. The dao of the sword, the dao of inferno and the dao of devouring. These three daos are not simple, and your strength is far greater than it was before. But if you ever co up against an Immortal of Creation, or in so other way co up against a person with more daos than you, then you need to be careful. In these trials, I highly doubt that you will be able to rely on us."
Hui Yue nodded his head, but he did not give up. He had to give it his all to beco the person to pass this trial and thus he had to have confidence in himself.
"First, the biggest problem is not to survive the trials, right now we need to exit the Universe Box and sohow manage to leave the City Lord's mansion without being noticed."
Hearing this everyone nodded their heads. "Let’s go!" Although they were setting out on a new, difficult journey in their lives, everyone was excited about the fact that they were going to leave the world they had been in their whole lives.
"Gather up," Hui Yue said. He had spent the previous day saying goodbye to all his friends once more, and now that four and a half years had passed, and he had understood the dao of the sword, it was ti for him to leave the Divine Beast World once again.
The nine beast Gods gathered in a circle around Hui Yue, Cai Jie, and Huli. In this group there were five Immortals of Creation, which was quite shocking, however, although three of the nine beast Gods had managed to reach the Immortal of Creation rank, not all of them had gained much insight into the dao.
The bull was the one who had comprehended the most, a full three daos, while the rest, apart from the rhinoceros, had comprehended two daos. The rhinoceros had poorer luck and only had fully mastered one dao. This was the dao that all of them had completed, the dao of the inferno.
Having spent thousands of years within the red realm where everything was created with the dao of the inferno, it would have been strange had they not comprehended this dao.
Seeing that everyone was ready, Hui Yue took to the sky with everyone following him before he tore a massive spatial rift in the fabric of reality. The group quickly slipped into the rift leaving behind the Divine Beast World and found themselves in the space of the Universe Box.
As always, when Hui Yue entered the space of the universe box, he felt how the dao of space was all around him, and this made it so that he could feel the mory within his core resonate in reply. The dao of space was so profound and despite his previous life’s mory flooding his mind with knowledge about the dao, it was just a drop in the bucket of this vast dao that few could ever grasp. He finally realized that if he wished to comprehend the dao of space before rging with the mory within his core, then he would need at least a thousand years.
"Everyone, be alert," Hui Yue called out as he looked around. All the Gods, apart from Huli, were filled with excitent. Their bodies were trembling, and big smiles adorned their faces.
"We are going to enter the City Lord's mansion... And I have so bad news," he continued.
"When I entered the Universe Box I was in mid-air. However, it is impossible to fly using Ancestral Worldpower within Skydragon Fortress, so the mont we leave the Universe Box you will fall quite a way down."
"So be prepared. It will be the best if nobody notices us when we arrive, and even better if we can get out undetected."
Hearing Hui Yue ntioning this, the Gods had a strange expression on their face, however, after a bit of ti they nodded their heads.
"Well the chance of soone actually being in the banquet hall is quite small," Hui Yue sighed, "so as long as we are not too noisy it should be possible for us to sneak out without being noticed."
Reassuring himself, Hui Yue closed his eyes and took a deep breath before he summoned the wings as he willed everyone out of the Universe Box.
The world around them warped as their eyesight failed them and they all turned dizzy. Monts after, they felt a suction force and their bodies were sucked through space and ti before they arrived in the Netherworld.
The first thing Hui Yue noticed was a bright light followed by the clamor of voices. Even before he got his eyesight back, Hui Yue flapped his wings a few tis, and while doing so, he heard heavy thudding sounds. Clearly, this was from the others landing very inelegantly on the ground below.
It only took a few seconds before their eyesight returned to them and as it did, Hui Yue was rather shocked. The banquet hall was filled to the brim with experts of various strength, and every single one of them was looking at Hui Yue and this group of Gods who had just fallen to the ground from out of nowhere. The only Gods who were not mixed up with the group on the ground was Huli and Hui Yue who was standing to the side looking at them all with amusent in their eyes.
The original clamor of the hall turned silent, and all of them looked at Hui Yue who was suspended in the air. It was clear that he was the most eye-catching person with his beautiful wings.
"I am very sorry for interrupting everyone," he said as he scratched his head sheepishly, "I recently had a breakthrough in the dao of space, and it seems I am not as skilled as I had thought."
The previous silence turned to an uproar. A God who specialized in the dao of space! And even more so, he had mastered the dao of space to the point where he could teleport as many Gods as he had. This ant his comprehension had to be near completion. Such a God was soone all of them wished to befriend, not even ntioning that he seed to be a mber of the Celestial Sword Sect.
While the majority of the banquet hall was filled with excitent, four people were frowning.
The first was the City Lord. Noticing Hui Yue, he instantly knew that this expert had returned, but he had not returned alone! This was enough to give him a headache.
The others who frowned were three people standing in a corner together. These three people were treated with reverence. Everyone who looked at them with slight fear but great respect and no one dared interrupt them while they spoke.
"This man seems to be from the Celestial Sword Sect," one of them said slowly while the others nodded their heads in confusion.
"I’ve never heard of a mber of our Celestial Sword Sect who looks as young as him and who has mastered the dao of space," another said with curiosity while the two others again nodded their heads.
"Well, there is no reason to stay back," the final one said. "Let’s go and talk with him. It is against the rules to marry soone outside of the family apart from the brides we bring in, so it looks like soone has ignored our laws. Still, if he is truly a God with an understanding of the dao of space then we should welco him regardless."
"Let’s see how strong he is first," the first man snorted, and the two others dared not speak against him.
While these three were speaking, the Gods on the floor all untangled themselves and were standing tall. Their auras were not to be looked down upon as all of them had an aura containing a large amount of Ancestral Worldpower, and it was obvious that so of them were even Immortals of Creation.
It seed that this group was not to be looked down upon. While looking at soone it was impossible to understand what daos they had gained insights into, but one could feel about how much Ancestral Worldpower they had accumulated. As for this group which had suddenly appear out of nowhere, all of them, apart from the flying expert in the air, seed to have quite a bit of Ancestral Worldpower.
Seeing his friends on the ground, Hui Yue too landed and withdrew the wings into himself once more. "Well we apologize for interrupting your great banquet," he said to the City Lord with a bow while cupping his hands, before he turned to leave.
"Don't go just like that," a cold voice sounded out causing Hui Yue to turn around. As he turned, the smile on his face froze and his eyes turned cold. Were these experts here to cause problems for him?
