Chapter 388: Chapter 299: Demonic Might Surges, Reunion with Wen Xin

He was able to earn the title of Dragon King naturally because of his powerful demon body related to the Dragon Race bloodline.

At this moment, Xiang Wuji’s heart emanated a green glow, transforming faintly into a Heart Protection Mirror. Even Xiang Wuji’s eyebrows and hair turned snow-white, and two bulges appeared on his head as his body expanded to over two meters tall, though not as large as the Red Blood Dragon King.

The Bai Ze Demon Body was also activated to its limit. Though it might not be as strong in physical combat as the Dragon Vein Demon Body of the Red Blood Dragon King, Xiang Wuji also had the advantage of the Wood King Heart and the Undefeated Demon Blood.

Two humanoid dragons exchanged blows, fists meeting flesh with no unnecessary techniques, just simple and honest punches and taking hits.

The ground shattered.

The two Golden Core Perfection Peak Masters hurriedly protected the Mountain Gate, activating their spells to shift the ground together, relocating the duel to an empty space nearby, sparing the Everlasting Sect Mountain Gate from collateral damage.

More and more people gathered to watch.

At this moment, only the Foundation Establishment cultivators dared to watch the fight from afar.

One Peak Master commented, “The Dragon King is purely Body Dao, but Xiang Wuji is not.”

“He simultaneously cultivates Blood Dao; he might be suppressing it, but in a full-force battle, there’s little room for strategy. The Blood Dao he’s cultivating is gradually absorbing the Blood Qi emitted by the Dragon King.”

“It would be better to finish quickly, but Xiang Wuji’s Body Dao cultivation is unexpectedly so astonishing that he can fight the Dragon King to a standstill.”

“If Xiang Wuji didn’t cultivate Blood Dao, the Dragon King would surely win.”

“But now… given enough time, the Dragon King will lose.”

“If this gets out, it’ll mean that the strongest in Body Dao of our Everlasting Sect is no match for a Danyang mixed Body Dao cultivator… This is…”

“But Xiang Wuji’s win is not entirely upright.”

“So what? People only care about the outcome.”

There was a secret transmission between the Peak Masters, discussing this matter.

Suddenly, a roar echoed from the arena, like the long cry of an ancient exotic beast.

Everyone’s eyes widened.

“A breakthrough during battle!?”

The aura around Xiang Wuji surged, and his cultivation broke through to Golden Core Perfection.

Of course, it was only a breakthrough in True Essence Cultivation, providing a certain extent of enhancement to the physical body.

The enhancement wasn’t much, but using this slight boost, it was enough to unleash some explosive techniques.

After taking a punch from the Red Blood Dragon King, Xiang Wuji landed gracefully on the ground like a swallow turning over.

“Dragon King’s cultivation is sky-high; in this battle, I have lost.”

The goal was already achieved; Xiang Wuji didn’t care about the rest.

“Hahaha—”

The Red Blood Dragon King paused and then let out a hearty laugh.

“This battle was truly enjoyable.”

“I wouldn’t say you lost. This round we are temporarily tied; once your cultivation stabilizes, we shall battle again!”

The Red Blood Dragon King felt pleased, yet a bit unsatisfied.

He looked at Xiang Wuji with eyes full of admiration.

An opponent like Xiang Wuji, who could endure a beating, was something he hadn’t encountered in a long time. The Red Blood Dragon King’s fondness for Xiang Wuji increased instantly.

Just as he was about to say something more, he noticed a green-robed figure rushing into Xiang Wuji’s embrace from the crowd like a homing swallow.

A smile appeared on Xiang Wuji’s face.

Only then did everyone remember Xiang Wuji’s words earlier.

He came to find… a Dao Companion?

Most previously thought Xiang Wuji was here to cause trouble, not caring what he said.

Now they recalled.

Upon closer inspection, they eagerly watched to see which fortunate senior sister or junior sister would leap into the arms of such a master.

As they made out who it was, everyone stood in disbelief, wide-eyed and motionless.

“Clang.”

In the Wood King Peak, a man with sharp brows and bright eyes dropped his longsword to the ground, accompanied by the faint sound of something breaking.

“Mu… Senior Sister Mu Xin…”

“My heart is broken, how could it be Senior Sister Mu Xin…”

“Among the Changming Four Immortals, two were already spoken for, now it’s three.”

Mu Xin Fairy of Wood King Peak was as warm as spring breeze, gentle and just, and in many disciples’ hearts, she held a special place.

The Dragon King was also momentarily stunned.

But the Red Blood Dragon King had never been interested in matters of romance; if anything, he’d rather seek a female cultivator of the Demon Race.

Regaining composure first, the Red Blood Dragon King, representing the entire Everlasting Sect, raised a question.

“Younger Brother Xiang, is she your…”

Xiang Wuji affectionately touched the head in his embrace and said, “Let me introduce, this is my Dao Companion, also my fiancée, Wen Xin.”

A venerable elder from Wood King Peak emerged.

His face bore an extremely complicated expression as he looked at Xiang Wuji, seemingly searching for something in his memories.

His cloudy eyes suddenly cleared.

“You’re the Loose Cultivator disciple who brought Xin’er here back then!”

The elder was, naturally, the Peak Master of Wood King Peak, the one who accepted Wen Xin back then.

“Many thanks, senior, for taking care of Xin’er all these years.”

“Hmph, she’s my direct disciple, does it need your thanks?” The elder flicked his robe with displeasure, not taking kindly to Xiang Wuji.

Then, with a complex tone, he continued, “I never imagined that a mere early-stage Qi Refining Loose Cultivator back then would now become a famed Great Demon of Danyang…”

“But you and Xin’er…”

The elder wanted to say more, but seeing the gaze from the person in Xiang Wuji’s embrace, he paused and merely waved his hand without saying anything further.

In Wood King Peak, an aged figure bowed his head deeply.

“Old Qingfeng, I remember you were the one who brought Senior Aunt Mu Xin into the sect, right?”

“Did you see this Xiang Wuji?”

Qingfeng could only lower his head further.

Not everyone becomes Golden Core. Qingfeng, who once made bold claims about Xiang Wuji, fell far behind Wen Xin over the span of more than a hundred and twenty years.

Besides obtaining an Inner Sect Elder title as a Peak Master’s disciple, he had little else…

Cultivation is cruel like that; time tests everything, and only those with the capability can seize everything.

The words of these Foundation Establishment cultivators naturally reached Xiang Wuji’s ears, but Xiang Wuji merely glanced at Qingfeng without a word.

“When did this happen?”

The Red Blood Dragon King, curious, asked from the side.

“I proposed to the Wen Family long ago in the mundane world. Xin’er’s parents agreed, but she later entered the Cultivation Realm, so it was postponed. I inadvertently ended up in Danyang, and we’ve kept in touch by letter ever since. I only came to see Wen Xin now.”

Xiang Wuji explained slowly.

Wen Xin simply enjoyed being in Xiang Wuji’s embrace.

Meanwhile, Xiang Wuji’s Divine Sense slightly vibrated, forming a sound through condensed threads.

Wen Xin’s eyes opened slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in her gaze.

Then she responded to Xiang Wuji with three words.

“Leave it to me.”

In a corner of the crowd, a woman in red and another older woman curiously and nosily watched the focal point of the scene.

“This is interesting. The sect has already signed an agreement with the Shenxiao Sect, and it’s just short of a marriage alliance. I wonder what the Shenxiao Sect will do?” Lan Ziqiong said, inexplicably excited.

Ye Lianqiu snorted coldly, “Who told them to act on their own.”

Lan Ziqiong shook his head, seeing Ye Lianqiu as still childish, not understanding the complexity of battles between powers.

[You took the initiative to stop the battle with the Red Blood Dragon King.]

[You successfully reunited with Wen Xin.]

[Though it’s been more than a hundred twenty years since you formally met, there’s not a hint of unfamiliarity between you and Wen Xin.]

[You proclaimed Wen Xin’s belonging to the entire Everlasting Sect, and Wen Xin’s last trace of discontent with you after all these years dissipated.]

[You omitted a few things, but you fully revealed what you needed to do to Wen Xin.]

[You temporarily stayed at the Everlasting Sect as a guest.]

[Due to your show of force and with Wen Xin’s companionship, the Everlasting Sect did not dispatch more resources to monitor you.]

[Wen Xin took you on a tour of the entire Everlasting Sect, where you absorbed the Cultivation Knowledge you needed, Body Dao, Qi Dao, Divine Dao, Thunder Dao, Puppet Dao…]
