Chapter 515 - 515 Day of the gathering

Turning his eyes towards Little Silver, Shun Long felt its aura that had now reached the middle of rank 6 causing his smile to become even wider.

Although Shun Long knew that Little Silver"s breakthrough had high chances to succeed since Little Silver had already absorbed enough energy during the past few years by eating an almost uncountable number of stalks of "Dragonblood gra.s.s" from the herb garden, Shun Long also knew that there was a very big risk of danger involved when a magic beast tries to breakthrough to a level that has already exceeded its natural limits.

After all, although it was extremely rare, it wasn"t impossible for a "Silver-winged panther king" to reach the early rank 6 from the peak of rank 5 if it chanced upon a fortuitous opportunity. However, reaching the middle of rank 6 was an entirely different matter, as it had already exceeded Little Silver"s natural limits.

Of course, if it somehow managed to obtain the beast core of a middle or peak rank 6 magic beast, it would have also been possible for Little Silver to breakthrough that way as well, but the danger of the breakthrough would still have been there no matter what.

Nudging its big head on Shun Long"s left arm Little Silver acted like an excited puppy as it looked at him instead of a ferocious middle rank 6 magic beast.

After all, if it wasn"t for Shun Long"s guqin, even with the energy that was acc.u.mulated inside its body after eating so many stalks of rank 5 "Dragonblood gra.s.s", it was unknown if Little Silver would have successfully broken through.

Shun Long smiled wryly as he raised his hand and rubbed the top of the black panther"s head softly, before he stopped feeding middle-grade spirit stones to the Heaven Swallowing vine at the same time.

After all, it was already time for Jiang Chen, Xie Xingyi, and Bai Longtian to all arrive by now, so Shun Long knew that he had to return back to his room.

In the past nearly 70 days that he had spent cultivating in seclusion, Shun Long had used up more than 60.000 middle-grade spirit stones to condense the 21st ball of qi, as well as purify his previous 20 qi b.a.l.l.s and bring them to the same level as the 21st.

Even though he didn"t manage to enhance the purity of the qi inside the 18th, 19th and 20th qi b.a.l.l.s, he still managed to completely purify the previous ones.

With the enhanced purity of his qi b.a.l.l.s, Shun Long was certain that he could now use his "ThunderG.o.d"s slash" at least 8 times consecutively before he ran out of qi! At the same time, along with his cultivation increase the power of the ThunderG.o.d"s slash had also increased, so using a Saint low-grade martial skill 8 times consecutively, even if it was just the first stage of that skill was something unheard of even for middle-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, let alone an early-stage one like Shun Long.

Closing his eyes, Shun Long then imagined himself leaving the foggy s.p.a.ce in the "Stone of Time" as he returned back to his room. Opening his eyes barely a moment later, he noticed that just like the last time, he was the only one inside the room.

After changing his sect robes into a set of new ones, he opened the door of the room, only to see Liu Mei sitting with Xie Xingyi in his courtyard chatting joyfully with each other, while Jiang Chen and Bai Longtian were also sitting cross-legged on the ground with their eyes closed.

Although they were in Shun Long"s courtyard, as long as Liu Mei wanted to, she could allow anyone to enter while she was inside.

As soon as the door of the room opened everyone turned their attention towards it at the same time, as they saw Shun Long"s figure walking towards them.

""Long-ge""

""Brother Long""

Liu Mei"s and Xie Xingyi"s voices sounded in his ears as they greeted him joyously, while Jiang Chen and Bai Longtian had also opened their eyes at the same time and stood up, as they turned their eyes towards him as well.

It was obvious that all 4 of them were waiting for Shun Long to exit seclusion.

Looking at the members of his faction that had all gathered in his courtyard, a smile appeared on Shun Long"s face as he then asked

""Are you all ready?""

Nodding in response, Liu Mei, Xie Xingyi, Jiang Chen, and Bai Longtian all stood up at the same time, while bouts of excitement filled their hearts.

""Let"s go to the a.s.signment Hall to choose our missions first.""

As he finished speaking, Shun Long walked out from his courtyard as he led the way to the a.s.signment Hall.

Of course, forget about their excited expressions, even Shun Long himself was looking forward to the sect"s missions. Although they were just missions that would give sect points and nothing more, Shun Long wasn"t planning to spend his entire life inside the Holy sect and he looked forward to these missions instead. After all, as a cultivator, he wanted to explore the entirety of the central region and not stay holed up in this place.

Even though the D-rank personal missions would almost exclusively be contained within the territory that was controlled by the Holy sect, and wouldn"t allow any of them to go too far away from those limits, for the 5 of them who had never been in the central region before this was still a completely new place that they could explore.

Half an hour later, Shun Long"s group arrived in front of the huge building at the center of the outer court, while his eyes were once again greeted by the 2 eye-catching words that were plated in gold above the building"s entrance.

As always, the a.s.signment Hall was filled with life, as hundreds of outer disciples were coming and going from its entrance at every moment.

Without any hesitation Shun Long then led his group inside the huge building, as they walked directly towards the building"s depths, towards the huge, black Mission board in the distance.
