Monarch Of Time

Chapter 1018 Myriad changes

Glancing at the small token in Zhong Guiʼs hands, Shun Long smiled before he shook his head and said openly

ʼʼSenior, I appreciate your kind intentions but there is no need for that. You can rest assured, I have my own ways of concealing my identity even from the Northern Sovereign herself, let alone her city guards.ʼʼ

As he finished speaking, Shun Long stepped forward and removed the lid of the large jar on the table, allowing the fragrant, intoxicating scent of the wine to fill the vast room.

In the next moment, Jiang Tianfang and Zhong Gui who were both about to speak suddenly froze, as an unbelievably sweet scent entered their nostrils, stunning the two peak-stage Dao Emperors.

It was a scent neither of them had experienced before, and yet one that was far superior to the Vermilion Flower wineʼs Zhong Gui had taken out the last time Shun Long was here. No... it was an insult to even compare this wine to the Vermilion Flower wine!

Of course, this was one of the jars of wine Shun Long had created long ago and had let it ferment inside the ʼStone of Timeʼ for many years. He had used numerous rank 5 and even rank 6 medicinal herbs to brew it, making its true value simply astronomical!

Putting aside the wineʼs extraordinary taste or the rare materials used to create it, even late-stage Dao Kings would see a small increase in their cultivation base if they consumed this daily for more than a month.

Waving his hand, Shun Long pushed the large jar towards Zhong Gui and Jiang Tianfang and continued

ʼʼUncle Jiang, senior Zhong, thank you for your help. Itʼs not much but consider this wine a small token of gratitude.ʼʼ

Almost instinctively, Zhong Gui stretched out his hand as he attempted to grab the plain-looking jar in front of him, only for Jiang Tianfang to slap it away. Then, the handsome middle-aged man just glanced at the famous clan leader by his side, before he turned to Shun Long and said with a smile

ʼʼNephew Shun, thereʼs no need for such words between us. If anything, Iʼm the one who should be thanking you. If you hadnʼt helped deal with my injury, I would never have chosen to enter the ʼCity of Immortalsʼ... let alone the ʼHeavenly Towerʼ and obtain so many treasures. Falling out with Xuan Bo or even the entire Tianxuan dynasty is nothing in comparison!ʼʼ

Jiang Tianfang then glanced at Zhong Gui next to him who eventually nodded his head in agreement.

Indeed, Zhong Gui knew that what Jiang Tianfang had said wasnʼt wrong. Putting aside the treasures the two of them had obtained inside the ʼCity of Immortalsʼ, just the rewards from the ʼHeavenly Towerʼ were more than enough for anyone to fall out with someone like Xuan Bo!

After all, it was now only a matter of time before both he and Jiang Tianfang broke through to become Sovereign realm experts.

In comparison, their falling out with Xuan Bo wasnʼt even worth mentioning.

However, since Shun Long insisted, neither Zhong Gui nor Jiang Tianfang tried to persuade him to use the token with the name of the Zhong clan. Since he had his own ways of dealing with the Northern Sovereignʼs guards, the 2 Dao Emperors knew that there was nothing more to say on this matter.

A few moments later, Shun Long bade farewell to Jiang Tianfang and Zhong Gui, opening a large space rift in the middle of the opulent hall. Then, after exchanging a few more words with each other and accepting Jiang Tianfangʼs map, his group of 7 disappeared from the palace of the Zhong clan, unbeknownst to everyone but the two Dao Emperors sitting in the heart of the hall.

...

In the blink of an eye, Shun Long and the rest had already left the gigantic port city behind them as they headed straight for the ʼNorthern Sovereignʼs cityʼ.

Of course, even through his space rifts, Shun Long knew that this journey was going to take at least a month until they reached their destination, but this was without a doubt the best way to travel right now.

Although the Zhong clan was a major city and should have had a teleportation formation of its own, Shun Long also knew that the palace guards and some of the city guards had already recognized him, so taking that teleportation formation was no different from announcing to everyone in the continent where he was going next.

Although his own strength was more than enough to deal with the weakest early-stage Dao Emperors, Shun Long wasnʼt willing to take on the entire Tianxuan dynasty just yet, let alone the whole central continent including Sovereign realm experts and even Earth Immortals!

..

After opening more than a dozen space rifts and exhausting the majority of his energy, Shun Long sat on the Death Eaterʼs back to recover his strength, as the hideous monster stomped everything in its path while it carried everyone forward.

Indeed, the Elders of the Holy sect had mentioned many times in the past, that the cultivation base of a Dao King was the minimum requirement for one to roam through the northern region of the central continent, excluding some extremely dangerous places like the ʼWind Dragonʼs forestʼ. And right now, the Death Eater was no different from a herald of death, as the horrifying monstrosity caused all rank 5 and rank 6 magic beasts to cower from it as it headed for the ʼNorthern Sovereignʼs cityʼ.

...

The rest of the journey was uneventful causing the rest of the month to go by in a flash, as neither Dao Kings, Dao Emperors, nor any powerful magic beasts blocked the Death Eaterʼs way while it traversed the northern region of the continent unopposed. Finally, as the month came to an end, the outline of a huge city appeared in the distance, causing the seven figures on the monsterʼs back to turn their gazes towards it.

They had finally returned to the ʼNorthern Sovereignʼs cityʼ!

However, what Shun Long and the rest didnʼt know, were the changes the central continent had undergone in this past half a year.
