Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

Chapter 1135: Borrowing Power, Creating Power

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In half a year, Hai Luo’s cultivation had recovered to the middle stage of the Soul Ascension Realm.

The progress was fast, but it was far from enough.

This was still the cultivation of the spirit.

There was the Return to Void Realm above the Soul Ascension Realm. Then, there were the nine stages of the Immortal Ascension Platform before achieving its full potential.

Each stage would take two to three years. How could twenty-five years be enough?

After returning to the sea realm, Mu Longyu returned to its own domain.

Hai Luo would recover faster if he went to his own sea area domain. However, he did not have a high cultivation realm at the moment, so it would be dangerous for him to go back alone.

The key to everything was Hai Luo. Mu Longyu naturally would not put him in any danger.

“Stay here for now. I’ll use my luck to help you. Now, I’m going to find the other Heavenly Kings,” Mu Longyu said seriously.

“Prepare the Chaotic Abyss Formation for me,” said Hai Luo.

“Do you really dare?” Mu Longyu was a little surprised.

“You forget who I am. I’m a Heavenly King,” said Hai Luo.

Mu Longyu did not argue with him. He needed to get this done as soon as possible.

He had directly headed for the Sunken Wood Island to prepare for his arrival.

As for the Chaotic Abyss Formation, it was a risky move. Only the Heavenly Kings could set it up.

As with other things, this formation had its own good and bad sides. If a heavenly King could remain unaffected, it would help increase one’s cultivation drastically. It was logical to use it to help with Hai Luo’s cultivation. However, if a heavenly King could not endure it, it would do more harm than good.

When he arrived at the palace, he ordered his men to prepare the things for the Chaotic Abyss Formation.

No matter how Hai Luo acted, this was not the time to be angry.

Becoming an immortal was the most important thing at the moment.

After giving the orders, Mu Longyu decided to take a look at the warehouse.

However, before he even started to walk that way, Duanmu Yi came to find him.

This made him curious. He was a guard at the warehouse, and he would never leave his station without a good reason.

“Did something happen?” asked Mu Longyu.

If there was any damage to the warehouse, he needed to fix it soon.

Otherwise, if the other party arrived and saw it, he would think that Mu Longyu was deliberately keeping the treasures from him.

The smallest mistake could have a disastrous effect.

Duanmu Yi stood before Mu Longyu. He lowered his head. “Greeting, heavenly King.”

“Is there something wrong with the warehouse?” Mu Longyu asked.

Although he was anxious, the most important thing was to fix the problem.

He had to be fast.

He could think about the rest later.

“There is indeed a… problem with the warehouse.” Duanmu Yi lowered his head.

He was also very confused. It was simply unbelievable.

Mu Longyu’s aura changed. “What’s going on?”

Duanmu Yi was worried. He immediately said, “About half a year ago, I welcomed a person here. He was bearing your token. He said he wanted to check Madam’s warehouse.”

“You let them in?” Mu Longyu asked calmly.

Duanmu Yi was terrified. “I would never let in anyone there, but when I saw the jade pendant, I had no choice.”

“A jade pendant?” Mu Longyu was a little surprised.

“Yes. I thought it was your pendant, so I…” Duanmu Yi whispered in fear. “I’m sorry. Please forgive me.”

“Half a year ago?” Mu Longyu frowned. “Which month?”

“Around late July,” Duanmu Yi immediately said.

“Late July?” Mu Longyu thought for a moment and then was shocked.

Around July, he had given the pendant to someone.

The more he thought about it, the more shocked he felt. But soon, he calmed himself.

Compared to what they would have to do to become immortals, this did not sound as impossible.

However, he still needed to confirm whether it was really that person.

“What did he do after he went in?” Mu Longyu asked.

“Uh…” Duanmu Yi was a little hesitant. In the end, he sighed. “If you could come with me, I could show you.”

Mu Longyu sensed that something strange had happened.

If the person had just taken something away, Duanmu Yi definitely would not have felt so tongue-tied.

Back then, Jiang Hao had said that he needed to visit it, but he had never mentioned his intention.

Mu Longyu had assumed he wanted some treasures from there.

But it seemed strange.

After a while, they arrived in front of the warehouse.

Mu Longyu checked the array formation. Someone had entered the place, and they had used his jade pendant.

In other words, the jade pendant that he had left behind had crossed many provinces and arrived overseas in just a few days.

Without thinking much about it, he walked into the warehouse.

Duanmu Yi followed behind.

As soon as he entered, Mu Longyu saw countless bookshelves, and all kinds of treasures on them.

Every piece seemed aglow with light. The treasures were spotless. There was no rust on any of them.

Mu Longyu felt as though the things had been replaced with some replica. However, when he examined them, he realized that they were the same treasures from before.

‘What has happened here?’ Mu Longyu was stunned.

Duanmu Yi lowered his head. He had felt the same way when he first entered the warehouse to check.

Duanmu Yi knew every nook and cranny of this place. He had placed each treasure on the shelves with his own hands. He was very familiar with the place. Nothing had been replaced or taken away.

However, everything seemed aglow with light. They all looked new.

The dust, rust, and blood stains on them had completely disappeared.

“This is…” Mu Longyu said.

“Exactly! Every item is in its place. It’s not replaced or taken away, but the rust and stains on them are gone,” said Duanmu Yi. “I don’t really know what the person did when he was here. There is no damage to the warehouse. It’s just… this is a great discovery.”

“A great discovery?” Mu Longyu was curious.

“Heavenly King, please follow me.” Duanmu Yi led the way.

He stopped in front of a screen. There was a red stroke on the book.

“He marked it?” Mu Longyu asked.

“Yes. It’s not just this one. There are many more books with the same mark. I took out the screen to study it. I’ve been trying to find out what it means for two weeks now!” said Duanmu Yi. “My hard work paid off. I finally got it! According to several experts who examined it, they said that there is a hidden mystery behind this screen. It’s very likely a powerful inheritance.”

‘Inheritance?’ Mu Longyu was shocked.

If that was really the case, then what was the person here for?

Had he come here just to identify the treasures?

He had said that he was using an ancient object to sense the will of the immortal path…

Was he borrowing power to increase his own?

Mu Longyu was stunned. Could it be…

Was this the person who wanted to help the Heavenly Kings become immortals?

Looking at the entire warehouse, Mu Longyu fell into deep thought. He had not taken anything. Instead, he had helped to identify the treasures.

Mu Longyu could not even keep up with this person.

He felt even more curious about this mysterious person.

What kind of person would want to be the first to do something that had never been attempted in the past, or present, and might never be done in the future?
