Chapter 744: Chapter 250: “Brother Qiu, are there twelve statues in our Heavenly Palace?”_3

“No.”

Fat Long shook his head seriously and said, “Didn’t Ao Tian say he couldn’t afford to raise more? So I controlled it. Anyway, I can only Dual Cultivate with one female dragon at a time, and I focused on just one. After this one’s gestation period is over, then I’ll move to the next. In total, I’ve only fathered two Little Dragon Cubs, and one is still in the belly, not yet born.”

“Right—”

Fat Long expressed some doubts.

“Brother Qiu, what about the twelve statues in our Heavenly Palace?”

Having spent nearly a year in seclusion in the small world, he wasn’t very clear about the outside affairs. He only knew that during their seclusion, Brother Qiu had crafted the Heavenly Dao Top Grade twelve-category external embodiment and the Heavenly Dao Term Group “Big Yao Nine.”

He didn’t know about the rest.

He clearly remembered that there were twelve statues in the Heavenly Palace, but they were all gone after he came out of seclusion.

“Here.”

Chen Qiu waved his hand casually, and twelve miniature statues floated above his palm. “They’re right here.”

Then, without further explanation, he waved his hand.

“Go and compile the Cultivation Progress of the Chao Tian Sect disciples. Let’s see to what realm everyone has cultivated with so many resources during this little less than a year of seclusion.”

“Understood.”

Fat Long nodded heavily and then turned to run off in a puff of smoke.

After Fat Long left—

Ao Tian came walking over quickly from not far away and stood beside Chen Qiu. Feeling the unrestrained Cultivation fluctuations on Chen Qiu, he spoke complexly after a long silence, “Brother, have you already reached the peak of Void Refining and are preparing to break through to Unification?”

“Hm?”

Chen Qiu nodded lightly, smiling casually. “How about it, brother, how is your cultivation going?”

“Still at the first level of Void Refining, halfway to the second level.”

Ao Tian’s face was full of forlorn confusion. He had given his all in cultivating. To be honest, the Dragon Clan has a long lifespan and is naturally lazy. There are very few in the Dragon Clan who cultivate as diligently as he does.

After all, the Dragon Clan’s Cultivation improves just by sleeping, although slower, but it’s more effortless. Most of the Dragon Clan prefers sleeping over actual cultivation. His efforts within the Dragon Clan were really considerable.

With so many Spirit Stones constructing the large, top-grade Spirit Gathering Array, plus the Demon Suppression Tower and the “Ascent of the Rooster and Dog” Domain and other methods to boost Cultivation speed, his Cultivation progress had been very fast.

Normally, it would take the Dragon Clan at least a decade or more to advance from the first level of Void Refining to the second, given abundant resources. However, it took him only a bit less than a year to reach halfway through the first level, and this speed was already quite fast. At this rate, in a year and a half at most, he would be able to step into the second level of Void Refining!

He thought this was quite satisfactory.

Upon exiting seclusion, he had calculated that if he maintained this rate, within twenty years at most, he could reach the peak of Void Refining and be ready to break through to the Body Integration Realm, becoming a powerful giant dragon!

Yet after sensing Chen Qiu’s Cultivation fluctuations, the joy in his heart instantaneously shattered to nothing.

Before their joint seclusion, Chen Qiu was also at the first level of Void Refining, but upon exiting, while he hadn’t yet broken through to the second level, Chen Qiu had already reached the peak. The gap between them… was almost suffocating.

…

“That slow?”

Hearing Ao Tian’s answer, Chen Qiu unconsciously blurted out but soon realized his slip. After all, he had the “Fame Spreads Far and Wide” entry, which seemed to make his Cultivation speed a tad faster than the average person.

“No matter.”

Noticing Ao Tian’s disappointed expression, he joked with a smile, “Back on Dragon Island, those resources you provided really helped me a lot. When I get better later on, I definitely won’t forget about you, brother.”

“…”

Ao Tian didn’t respond with his usual banter but after a long silence, spoke with complexity, “I shouldn’t call you ‘younger brother’ anymore, really, I just can’t say it anymore, Brother Qiu. I know your goal is the upper realms of the Vast Continent, maybe even farther.”

“I might not be able to accompany you to the end, Brother Qiu.”

“I plan to lead my clan back to the Dragon Clan Main Lineage on the Vast Continent once the state shackles break away. My Cultivation will never be able to keep up with you, Brother Qiu. Staying by your side, I could only cause trouble and not help in the slightest.”

“We might have to part ways then.”

Chen Qiu shook his head upon hearing this and indicated towards a group of Heaven Sect disciples and the awakening brown bear not far away, “It’s normal for their Cultivation not to keep up with mine, like the Heaven Sect disciples will never match me, but I still take them with me. After all, you often need someone to lend a hand in many situations.”

“And those brown bears.”

“I provided them with top-grade spirit arrays and many methods to enhance Cultivation speed, yet after they entered winter, most of the bears surprisingly fell into hibernation inside the Heavenly Palace. They are currently on the back mountain of the Heavenly Palace suffering from constipation, they are just Golden Core Cultivators, and I still keep them, don’t I?”

“Brother, you don’t need to worry about it.”

“The people who follow me don’t necessarily need to have high Cultivation or combat ability. The path towards becoming immortal is too lonely, having a few friends whom I can talk to is a rare happiness. Besides, brother, if you stay on the Vast Continent, this might be your limit for life, but if you follow me, your limit won’t just be the Body Integration Realm. Do you believe your younger brother?”

“I believe.”

Ao Tian paused for a while and then spoke complexly, “Just that…”

“No ‘just that’ anymore.”

Chen Qiu patted Ao Tian’s shoulder, “We can talk about this matter later, no rush.”

Right at that moment—

He suddenly felt slightly startled. He distinctly sensed a rich force of heaven and earth rapidly condensing. Looking up, a great mass of dark clouds was swiftly gathering, covering the sky above the Heavenly Palace. He felt an extremely terrifying pressure from these Tribulation Clouds!
