Dual Cultivation God Returns

Chapter 675  Destination right ahead

Wu Long spent the next few weeks traveling across the empty shattered world, crossing multiple shards of its surface.

As he moved forward, the signs of past destruction and scars of the Great Calamity only grew both in frequency and in intensity.

"Heh, I doubt we will be seeing any living civilizations going forward either", Fen Baihu sitting on his shoulder in her small fox form noted as Wu Long nodded in agreement.

They could very roughly guess the level of devastation that went through these lands by how the landscape was shaped, and what they saw now made it unlikely for anything within the Boundless Mortal World to be able to survive.

There were also far more Space Distortions and Space Storms within the shards of the world surface, all supporting Wu Long's theory about the progression of events.

It meant that, as unlikely as he initially thought it was, the Three Continents were almost the only inhabited place on the surface of this enormous World.

"Heh, you can always count on meeting Demonic Beasts whenever you go", Wu Long chuckled, noticing a group of Demonic Beasts nearby.

"Well they do form anywhere as long as there is Spiritual Qi and conditions that can easily appear in the wild~", Fen Baihu shrugged her shoulders, continuing to add "I think, there isn't a natural world in existence that does not have them..."

But as she spoke up to that point, her expression turned slightly more introspective, as she went on to add "...although... maybe the word 'natural' is not necessary... after all, even my own Core World had formed Demonic Beasts that I had to cleanse from time to time"

"Hm? Your Mystic Realms formed Demonic Beasts?", he raised his eyebrows, learning something new from her words.

"Haha, not all of them, only the Core World", she shook her head, as the seven realms that she gained with the latter tails all felt more artificial, and completely intentional.

"Hmm, I guess you could call that world real for all intents and purposes, even more real than I thought...", Wu Long nodded with interest, as he knew little of how creating an entire world was possible, and how the powers of Celestial Foxes truly worked.

"Beats me, it's not like I had anyone to teach me or tell how all this works. I had to learn most of this stuff on my own, so there's a lot I don't understand myself...", Fen Baihu shook her head with a wry smile.

Wu Long did not reply, only silently nodding to that sentiment.

After all, Fen Baihu was the only Celestial Fox he heard of. Her adoptive family, and clan, were Spiritual Beasts who could not guide her much despite being also Fox species.

There were several other Mythical Beasts of the fox species, but most of them were the only ones of their kind, and held different powers from one another, thus not being much of help as well.

After a long way, Wu Long finally approached his destination, almost a week earlier than he expected.

"Fuu~...", he exhaled, as even someone like him felt a bit of fatigue after constantly traveling at near extreme of his speed for such a long time.

His stamina was moderately drained and his reserves of Spiritual Qi were also depleted.

But despite deciding to take a rest before going on, he still took a moment to inspect the terrain at the destination point.

He saw a slightly surreal view of a broken scenery, as if a picture was shattered and then haphazardly assembled with no regard to where each piece belonged.

Bits and pieces of land seemingly floating in the air, shards of blue sky could be seen where land should have been, and out of place parts.

But it was a far more stable Space Distortion, which did not have moving parts which would make it a Space Storm, and was in the process of rapid healing.

There were also areas, where a giant World Stone could be peeked from beyond the broken up space. Wu Long's eyes shone with a light of excitement and anticipation, as did Fen Baihu's.

"Nervous?", he asked out loud, and she nodded, again surprised by how easily she admitted it.

"Can you blame me? I barely escaped the grasp of that bastard... while he couldn't directly come down after me upon leaving the Boundless Divine World, he made sure to weaken me right away, enough to be vulnerable even among weaklings ...", she bitterly spoke as her tails slightly shook, the beautiful fur on them standing upright from the memories.

"Haha, don't worry. You'll see soon enough that there is nothing to be worried about", he chuckled, as she turned to him.

"Aren't you at all nervous yourself?", she asked and a smile touched his lips.

"I'm more excited than nervous. After all, most of the world believes I'm dead. I doubt I would be recognized that easily with how much time passed, or even be deemed 'the real thing' right away even if I am found out. As long as I play my hand right, by the time anyone catches up to what is happening it would be far too late to stop me", he said while shrugging his shoulders, and as a rather carefree smile appeared on his face.

"Heh, let's hope you're not outed the moment you arrive then", Fen Baihu made a light laugh as that confident statement sounded strangely like a challenge, a challenge that life usually answered.

"Hahaha, if that happens, so be it as well. I'm just saying that there's no use worrying about it", Wu Long lightly laughed, his carefree attitude and confidence somehow releasing the tension that Fen Baihu felt before.

Wu Long returned to the Mystic Realm, arriving at the terrace where he was greeted by his beauties, and given a warm welcome that instantly took off some of the fatigue, as he felt the warmth and love.

Fen Baihu curiously watched that scene, finding it incredibly interesting to observe him with his ladies, a side of the God of Pleasure that she doubted many in the Seven Boundless Worlds had ever witnessed or knew of.

Madam Liang and Hong Yue rarely showed up at the mansion in this time, but Gong Liwei and Cai Yin, on the contrary, spent most of their time here, and thus were present for this moment as well.

The former was smiling, seeing her little sister's happiness, while the latter had a neutral expression, which was also unreadable.

They curiously watched Yuanfen greet Wu Long along with his ladies so naturally as if she was part of the Dao Family, and even more curiously, the ladies of the Wu Family seemed to accept her actions just as naturally.

Mostly because there was an innocence and sincereness in her behavior.

"We're almost at the Boundless Profound World", Wu Long announced, as he was hugging back Wu Mengqi who clung to him for her "Wu Long charge up". The beauties exchanged excited looks, though there were some signs of guilt, that he chuckled at, instantly recognizing that sentiment.

They all spent this time in relative comfort while he was the only one putting in the effort for the trip, which naturally weighed on their consciousness.

"The trip this time around had a lot of hurdles that would be difficult for you to cross with your cultivations. Even Ling'er would not have a chance of crossing a Space Distortion at the moment", he smiled, explaining once more that they did not need to worry about such things.

After all, the only reason he did not have to fear crossing a Space Distortion that would be otherwise deadly, was his Concept of Space.

"But..., we at least could have accompanied you when you were crossing normal lands...", Hua Ziyan reluctantly spoke up and he chuckled, shaking his head.

"If we weren't restricted by time, I would've loved to travel in your company. But we had to make this trip as fast as possible, to be ahead of the news of this World being healed", Wu Long said as he raised his palm to her cheek.

"Hmm, don't get me wrong, it is an incredible blessing to be with a man who lets us rely so much on him, but I can't deny that it can feel stifling to not be able to reciprocate that. After all, what woman doesn't want to make her man happy? Especially a man who does so much for us...", Nie Xiwang calmly voiced her thoughts, at the same time accurately capturing the sentiment of the beauties around her. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The ladies around, nodded with no exceptions as they all felt this way for quite some time with varying degrees of intensity.

Wu Long raised his eyebrows, not expecting such a remark as he didn't really think of what he did for them as all that much.

His eyes caught Ye Ling's gaze, which reminded him of her words previously about relying on them more, and a wry smile touched his lips as he was, quite unusually for him, slightly at a loss of what to say.

He then chuckled, and with a playful look appearing in his eyes noted "I won't lie, I did not think of that, but I have no doubt that there will be many things you can do in the future. Don't worry, you can take your time. In the meantime, I can think of a few ways you can express that sentiment at the moment"

A light blush appeared on the faces of first some, and then almost all of the beauties around, while their eyes betrayed expectation.

Cai Yin and Gong Liwei almost spilled the drinks they had in hands, as their faces quickly grew red. The two looked at each other with gazes that clearly said "We should go".

"Hahaha, don't worry. We'll not be starting anything right now", Wu Long chuckled, noticing that, as some beauties giggled and some looked a bit disappointed.

They spent some time together, as he simply relaxed a little in the company of his ladies, shaking off the weariness of being on constant alertness outside.

After some time, he went on to take a bath in the hot springs that looked very similar to the ones at the Peak of Unity, only bigger, which brought a smile to his face.

But after soaking in the comfort of the hot water for a few minutes with closed eyes, his lips curled up in a smile as he heard the sliding door to the hot springs smoothly open, and the sounds of two footsteps coming his way.

He did not have to check to know that it was Nie Xiwang and Xue Bing, not even sensing it through their bond, or by any other means. Just the look in their eyes as he left the terrace was enough of a clue.
