470: Wind and Cloud

Looking at Duan Zhengchun's expression, Huang Rong grew somewhat suspicious.

Could it really be true already?

"Are you sure? Why don't I feel anything?" Huang Rong looked at Duan Zhengchun with confusion.

"Of course I'm sure. This prince wouldn't lie to you about something like this," Duan Zhengchun nodded.

"That's wonderful, finally! I'm exhausted..."

After saying that, Huang Rong immediately fell asleep, snoring just three seconds later.

She was genuinely tired. She had been holding on purely by willpower until now. Now that it was finally confirmed, her spirit relaxed, drowsiness washed over her, and she simply fell asleep.

Seeing Huang Rong so exhausted, Duan Zhengchun's heart ached a little. He channeled a wisp of spiritual power into her body to help regulate it.

Actually, Huang Rong was just tired. After all, being relentlessly 'worked' by Duan Zhengchun like that, what woman could withstand it?

After all, Huang Rong's current strength was far inferior to Duan Zhengchun's; she hadn't even reached the Heavenly Human Realm.

However, she was now basically on the verge of breaking through to the Heavenly Human Realm.

"System, claim the reward."

"Claim successful. Host has obtained the Eternal Longevity Physique and the Golden Light Divine Mantra."

Duan Zhengchun opened his information panel to check.

Host: Duan Zhengchun.

Age: Twenty-one.

Strength: Peak Foundation Establishment.

Special Physiques: Strongest Sacred Body, Water Spirit Body, Immune to All Poisons, Good Luck Comes, Succubus Physique.

Martial Arts: Creation Spirit Fusion Art, Dali Kingdom's Fortune, Instantaneous Movement, Shadow Kill Technique.

Medicinal Pills: One bottle of dà huán dān, one bottle of marrow cleansing pills, one bottle of youth preserving pills.

One bottle of Foundation Establishment Pills, one bottle of essence cultivating pills, one bottle of qi condensing pills.

Special Items: yin yang sacred fire token, balenciaga, heavenly demon zither.

Looking at all this information, Duan Zhengchun sighed with emotion. In such a short time, he had already gained so many rewards, yet his strength was still at Peak Foundation Establishment.

The Foundation Establishment of a thousand li required too much spiritual power. Even being rewarded with the Primordial Longevity Physique and the Golden Light Mantra hadn't allowed him to break through to the Golden Core Realm.

It seemed he still needed to work much harder.

"System, can this Eternal Longevity Physique really make me immortal?"

"No deception, old or young. As long as the Host doesn't seek death, he can outlive everyone."

"Damn, the way you say that makes it sound like this prince is a useless piece of trash."

"Although this Longevity Physique grants longevity, it does not grant immortality."

"Therefore, strength is always the most important thing, no matter when."

"However, since I can live forever, I will eventually become truly invincible."

"Just like that blockhead Emperor Shitian. If he hadn't become too arrogant after gaining power, he wouldn't have ended up being the architect of his own downfall."

Originally, Emperor Shitian was someone with rather unremarkable martial arts talent. It was only because he lived for so long and learned many martial arts that he spent who knows how many years creating a technique like the Sacred Heart Art.

As the saying goes, with unlimited time, even a pig can take off. Moreover, Duan Zhengchun had a System. Emperor Shitian could become a nearly invincible existence without a System. If he, with a System, couldn't become invincible, he might as well crash to his death on a woman's bosom.

Huang Rong was asleep. Duan Zhengchun left the room, his figure instantly disappearing. When he reappeared, he was already in the outskirts.

"The Mysterious Ancestor of Heaven and Earth, the root of all energies. Cultivating broadly through eons of kalpas, proving my divine abilities. Within and beyond the Three Realms, only the Dao is supreme. The body has golden light, covering and reflecting upon my form."

Instantly, golden light appeared on Duan Zhengchun's body, enveloping his figure.

"Foolish Host, once the Golden Light Mantra reaches Major Achievement, it can be cast instantly without needing to chant the incantation."

"Damn, you dog System! Since when have you been so intelligent? You're quite talkative today?" Duan Zhengchun retorted in surprise.

However, this time the System didn't speak, which made Duan Zhengchun even more puzzled.

Was this System crazy? Suddenly popping out with a sentence like that, was it seeking attention?

Could it be because I haven't checked my information for a while, making it have thoughts?

No, this thing is just a System, like a robot. It only knows how to issue tasks and random rewards. Could it possibly have its own thoughts?

How could that be? If a robot had emotions, would it still be a robot? What difference would there be from a human?

Spiritual power circulated. Instantly, golden light shot into the sky, and a terrifying pressure spread out, reaching the city within a few breaths.

Martial Artists who were sound asleep abruptly opened their eyes. Panicked, they dressed and rushed out, their gazes fixed on the source of the golden light.

As for the ordinary commoners, they slept even more soundly, dreaming of immortals in their sleep.

"Holy shit, what's going on? What's with this golden light?"

"Such terrifying pressure! What on earth is happening? This golden light gives me the feeling of an immortal descending to the mortal world."

"You're lucky, I feel like kneeling and worshipping it."

"Let's go, quick, go see. Maybe it's some rare treasure manifesting."

"Right, it must be a heavy treasure manifesting. The slow get nothing!"

In an instant, all the Martial Artists in the city began rushing towards the location of the golden light.

"Senior Brother Yun, this golden light feels odd. Let's go take a look too!" Nie Feng came to his Senior Brother Bu Jingyun's side, his eyes filled with excitement.

Bu Jingyun, his expression cold, nodded. He had naturally seen the golden light and, moreover, felt the pressure emanating from it.

This kind of pressure, even his Master, Tyrant, did not possess.

This meant there was either a heavy treasure manifesting or a powerful expert undergoing a Breakthrough.

Whichever it was, he had to go see.

This time, the two brothers had traveled thousands of miles to Daming. However, they still hadn't caught up to witness the duel between those two Sword Gods.

But, they also had this task. They still needed to go to Dali to investigate Duan Zhengchun's affairs thoroughly.

If possible, they would try to establish a connection with Duan Zhengchun and reach a cooperative agreement.

Unexpectedly, just as they were about to leave Daming, they encountered such an event. Naturally, they had to go see.

The two rushed towards the city outskirts at their fastest speed. By then, many people had already arrived outside the city.

However, to their horror, when they tried to approach the forest, they were blocked by that oppressive pressure and couldn't get close at all.

"Heavens, what's happening? There's actually such strong pressure!"

"What on earth is going on? Could there really be a rare treasure manifesting?"

"Unclear. The key is, no one can go in to see what's really happening."

"Let's wait. Whether it's a treasure manifesting or someone breaking through, this kind of pressure has a time limit. It can't exist forever."

"Well said. For now, we can only wait patiently."

"Look, more experts have arrived."

As soon as the words fell, they saw one person wearing black clothes with a red cape and curly hair like instant noodles, and another wearing blue clothes with flowing long hair, an ethereal and aloof demeanor, giving people a feeling of being bathed in a spring breeze.

The Aura emanating from both was still at the Great Grandmaster Realm. They landed without a sound, showing how powerful their Movement Techniques were.

The newcomers were none other than Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun.

Just as the two were about to approach, they felt the terrifying pressure. Even with their strength, they felt strain getting close.

"Senior Brother Yun, this Aura is filled with the righteous energy of heaven and earth. I haven't heard of any technique having such presence. Perhaps it's a Buddhist heavy treasure manifesting," Nie Feng, sensing the Aura of the golden light, voiced his speculation.
