Chapter 1024: Chapter 1024: Riding the Crane Overseas! Chapter 1024: Chapter 1024: Riding the Crane Overseas! Although Huang Xiaolong didn’t have the Xuanhuang Tower, he had visited it and had long since figured out the testing rules of the tower.

Moreover, the Xuanhuang Tower was a treasure of the Qingcheng Sect, and it seemed that Grandmaster Dugu Hong had also participated in its refinement. After Huang Xiaolong assimilated the strand of Grandmaster Dugu Hong’s consciousness, his understanding of the Xuanhuang Tower was no less than that of the core disciples of the Qingcheng Sect, or even the elders!

With that in mind, Huang Xiaolong’s divine sense swept out, simulating the Xuanhuang Tower’s testing method, and first tested all the males present.

The results were obtained quickly.

Although there were many ancient martial arts great grandmasters and martial arts geniuses among the men present, their talent in cultivating spells wasn’t high. At best, they could only make it to the second layer of the Xuanhuang Tower!

Not a single one had the potential to break into the third layer!

‘Sweat~~~ The talent just isn’t there,’ Huang Xiaolong shook his head secretly.

Immediately afterward, his divine sense reached out again, testing all the women present.

After finishing, Huang Xiaolong smiled. “Alright, the testing is complete.”

“Little Long~~” his wives were the first to ask in unison. Even though they didn’t want to cause any trouble for Huang Xiaolong, they still longed to join him on his overseas adventure.

The so-called “vast and majestic world” and the “grand stage for the truly outstanding” held a great attraction for anyone!

Huang Xiaolong couldn’t help but give a wry smile. “It seems that things aren’t so simple. Even though you’ve received the nourishment of the dragon vein at Wolong Villa for a while, your talents in spell cultivation aren’t outstanding. According to the rules of the overseas sects for selecting disciples, most of you can only serve as menial workers or labor under others’ oppression. It’s better not to go.”

Upon hearing this, a look of dejection couldn’t help but appear on everyone’s face.

Huang Xiaolong comforted them. “However, don’t worry, continue to live in Wolong Villa, and receive the cleansing from the dragon vein every day. I believe your potential will break through.”

He paused, then a smile curved at the corner of his mouth, “Of course, there are some people who can go overseas with me to have a look, and are qualified to join the sects abroad.”

Silence. The hall was very quiet.

“Aoshan, my wife, you will go with me,” Huang Xiaolong looked at Ying Aoshan.

“Me?!” Ying Aoshan was overwhelmed with joy, as if she were dreaming.

“Yes. Wife Aoshan, your talent in spell cultivation is actually not bad, you should be able to reach the fourth layer of the Xuanhuang Tower. Going overseas, you’ll definitely be eagerly sought after by plenty of sects,” Huang Xiaolong nodded.

“That’s great!” Ying Aoshan danced for joy.

Envy was undisguised in the eyes of Huang Xiaolong’s other wives.

“First wife,” Huang Xiaolong then looked at Song Yuru with a teasing smile.

“Huh?” Song Yuru was utterly confused. “Little Long, you can’t be serious, can you? Could it be… but… I haven’t even practiced ancient martial arts. I’m just a weak woman without the strength to truss a chicken, okay Little Long, I know you’re just joking with me.”

“Hahaha~~ First wife, it’s hard for me to believe it too. But the fact is, if you challenge the Xuanhuang Tower, you’ll be able to reach the fifth level! Even stronger than Wife Aoshan’s talent. So you see, there’s no real logic to talent in spell cultivation. If you have it, you have it, if you don’t, you can’t force it. First wife! Come overseas with me!” Huang Xiaolong was also very gratified.

The cultivation talent of Song Yuru was comparable to Huo Bingyan! Honestly, this was a tremendous surprise for Huang Xiaolong!

“Alright, the rest of you will stay in Wolong Villa for the time being,” Huang Xiaolong finally announced.

This time, the only ones who could accompany him, aside from the three little demons, were his two wives, Ying Aoshan and Song Yuru.

“We’ll set off early tomorrow morning,” Huang Xiaolong announced loudly.

Immediately, Wolong Villa held a grand feast to see off Huang Xiaolong and the others.

Huang Xiaolong also took the time to go out once to find Ghost King Ying Kexin and gave her detailed instructions.

That night, Huang Xiaolong thought on his feet and created a clone with a strand of divine sense.

This clone had about one-twentieth of the strength of Huang Xiaolong’s main body.

Huang Xiaolong left this clone to guard Wolong Villa, ensuring that nothing could go wrong!

Early the next morning, Huang Xiaolong didn’t ask anyone to see him off, to avoid adding to the sorrow of parting.

Accompanied by three little demons, his beloved wife Song Yuru, and Ying Aoshan, Huang Xiaolong arrived at the seaside.

Being a coastal city, it was very convenient to set sail from Binhai City.

Standing by the sea, they looked out over the boundless ocean, feeling exhilarated, with an uncontrollable longing for the vast sky and sea, yearning to soar at will.

The azure ocean, refracted by the sun, reflected various magnificent colors–it was simply breathtakingly beautiful.

The air had a slight sticky scent; when the sea breeze blew, it brought a unique salty smell.

Huang Xiaolong’s eyes narrowed slightly, as he opened his arms wide, as if a new and lively painting was unfolding before him.

This feeling was somewhat similar to when Huang Xiaolong first left the mountains to arrive at the bustling metropolis.

“Uh… Little Long, I have a question.” Ying Aoshan suddenly frowned.

“Aoshan, my wife, what do you want to ask?” Huang Xiaolong gathered his thoughts and smiled at Ying Aoshan.

“Little Long, I have taken cruises before, traveling around the world, and honestly, there are many islands at sea, but I’ve never discovered this cultivator’s world or any sects you mentioned–It’s really strange,” Ying Aoshan said, somewhat puzzled.

“Actually, it’s quite simple,” Huang Xiaolong explained with a smile. “Aoshan, my wife, indeed the overseas world of cultivators exists. The reason why it is difficult for the naked eye to see is that a very clever spell of illusion is set up on many islands, even some sea areas! What people see is an illusion. For example, an island that appears desolate and uninhabited might actually have many palaces standing tall, splendid in gold and jade, and may have a large number of cultivators meditating.”

“Ah! A spell of illusion!” Ying Aoshan suddenly realized.

“Wow, that’s amazing,” Song Yuru said, entranced. “A world we cannot see! Uh… But, Little Long, I also have a question.”

“My dear wife, what else would you like to ask?” Huang Xiaolong said with a wry smile.

These days, adventuring outside, subduing demons, and defeating wicked people, Huang Xiaolong didn’t have much time to accompany his first wife, Song Yuru.

Now that Song Yuru had a talent for cultivation, the time Huang Xiaolong could spend with her at sea would increase.

“Little Long, are we taking a boat or a plane out to sea?” Song Yuru looked at the empty sea and seemed to be having difficulties.

“Hahaha… my dear wife, that’s a very practical question,” Huang Xiaolong said, somewhat speechless.

Qingqing said seriously, “We might as well go by ourselves.”

“Enough, you three. If you dare to show your true forms and fly around in the overseas world, getting spotted by those cultivators, they are sure to catch you and use you as mounts,” Huang Xiaolong joked half-seriously.

Instantly, he took out a copper token.

This copper token was a magical treasure confiscated after killing a disciple in blue from the Shushan faction.

In the token, there were five extraordinarily majestic cranes.

Huang Xiaolong’s thoughts stirred!

The next second, dazzling lights flashed, and five cranes flew out from the copper token!

Each crane was larger and more robust than a bull, with wings as wide as those of a massive sect, circling around Huang Xiaolong and the others, letting out earth-shaking cries that could blow a person away with a single flap of their wings.

“My God! Little Long! Cranes!!!” Song Yuru exclaimed exaggeratedly.

Huang Xiaolong had already erased the token’s imprint and re-established ownership, so the five cranes saw Huang Xiaolong as their master and were very obedient and compliant.

Huang Xiaolong snapped his fingers, and the five cranes obediently landed, crouching on the ground, waiting for Huang Xiaolong and the others to mount them.

“Let’s go! We shall ride the cranes to the overseas world!”

Huang Xiaolong yelled with great enthusiasm.
