Monarch Of Time

Chapter 995 Return to the Night Star continent

The next morning, a group of four young men and women left the headquarters of the Zhong clan, heading towards the northeast of the central continent.

Shortly after leaving the city, Shun Long opened another space rift, before the four of them disappeared from the vicinity of Zhong city.

After entering three more consecutive space rifts and making sure that there were no cultivators in the vicinity, Shun Long finally stopped and summoned Little Black from the ʼStone of Timeʼ.

The journey to the ʼNight star continentʼ from the northernmost part of the continent wasnʼt short, and it would certainly take Shun Long and the rest at least a couple of years until they returned.

However, with Little Blackʼs flying speed, Shun Long estimated that the whole journey would take less than a month.

A few moments later, the figure of a massive black dragon appeared in the skies of the central continent once more, flying across the continental sea at devastating speed as it headed towards the east.

...

At this point, Shun Long wasnʼt overly worried of people noticing Little Blackʼs existence.

After all, the continental sea was nothing like the central continent. It was a vast expanse of water filled with nothing but magic beasts.

Occasionally, a few other cultivators riding their own magic beasts could be seen crossing the ocean, but most of them were either Nascent Soul stage cultivators or even Spirit realm ones. It was very rare for Dao Kings to ever spend time traveling to and fro the nearby continents if there wasnʼt a good enough reason, let alone Dao Emperors.

Of course, even if any Dao Kings appeared, with Little Blackʼs current speed, those people would see nothing more than a blur flying past them.

Since there wasnʼt much else to do during the journey, Shun Long decided to sort out the treasures he had obtained inside the ʼCity of Immortalsʼ.

At this point, the high-grade spirit stones he had gathered in the ʼStone of Timeʼ numbered more than five million, while the top-grade spirit stones he had obtained from the first trial of the ʼHeavenly Towerʼ were more than thirty thousand!

However, the things that interested Shun Long the most right now were the contents of Guo Chenʼs and Mao Huangʼs spatial rings. The two Dao Kings who had terrorized the ʼIllusion Oasisʼ for years had gathered more than sixty thousand drops of ʼImmortal Waterʼ in total, an absolutely astronomical number!

Of course, these drops of ʼImmortal Waterʼ were the exact reason Shun Long had stopped cultivating inside his ʼFive-Elements Protective formationʼ and had decided to head over to the Heavenly Tower!

After all, Shun Long knew that other than tempering his body even further, these drops of ʼImmortal Waterʼ had another use as well. He could extract the immortal qi inside them and use it to temper his foundations in the Dao King realm.

Although this was definitely a wasteful way to utilize such a heavenly treasure, Shun Long didnʼt care about being wasteful right now. After all, nothing was more important than his own foundations.

Naturally, other than the drops of ʼImmortal Waterʼ and the high-grade and top-grade spirit stones, Shun Long had gained countless other treasures as well.

Even if he ignored the treasures he had obtained from the ʼHeavenly Towerʼ by himself, just the star-rank weapons and armor he had found in Guo Chenʼs and Mao Huangʼs spatial rings numbered more than a dozen! It was obvious that these two young masters had looted plenty of people by themselves.

In the end, Shun Long stored everything inside the ʼStone of Timeʼ and closed his eyes, as he sprawled himself on Little Blackʼs back.

At this point, it would be a lie if he said he didnʼt feel any pressure from the Tianxuan dynasty and the rest of the peak powers targetting him. After all, 100 immortal-grade spirit stones were enough to tempt even the most powerful Earth Immortals, let alone Sovereign realm experts. Although Shun Long had some ways to deal with early-stage Sovereigns if push came to shove, Earth Immortals were a completely different matter altogether.

However, Shun Long also knew that once he stepped foot into the central region of the continent, his plan was going to turn the entire continent upside down! By then, forget about the Tianxuan dynasty or the Earth Immortals, every single peak power would be forced to pay attention to him.

Of course, Shun Long knew that what he was planning to do was extremely risky, but which cultivator didnʼt live their life without taking any risks?

...

Time continued to pass, and in the blink of an eye, four weeks had already gone by since their group had left the Zhong city.

During these 4 weeks, Shun Long, Liu Mei, Xingyi, and Bai Longtian all took this time to relax and reset their mental state.

Admittedly, the dangers they had faced in the ʼCity of Immortalsʼ and the trials of the ʼHeavenly Towerʼ had taken their toll on everyone. Fortunately, no powerful magic beasts had attacked them during this time, providing an uneventful journey.

So, Shun Long spent most of this time talking with Liu Mei and the rest to pass the time. He also heard about the rewards everyone else obtained from the seventh trial while he was fighting with Xuan Bo.

Apparently, it was just those in the top 3 who obtained any immortal-grade spirit stones from the old man. As for the rest, they got top-grade spirit stones depending on their final rank. For example, Liu Mei who was ranked 4th by the time the seventh trial ended got fifty thousand top-grade spirit stones as her reward, while Jiang Chen who was ranked 10th only got five thousand.

Finally, as the fourth week came to an end, the outline of a large island appeared in the distance, eventually attracting Shun Longʼs attention. Although it only seemed like an island from afar, the closer they got to it, the more familiar this island seemed to become.

They had finally returned to the ʼNight Star continentʼ!
