Chapter 746 Mid Divine Dwelling Stage (1/2)

The sky was a deep black without any sun or stars.

Ancient trees towered like pillars supporting the sky over an abandoned and neglected land. Numerous crystal-clear fruits grew on these ancient trees, each one giving off a dazzling radiance.

The light illuminated a hundred-mile radius. In this world, these unique light trees had replaced the sun and moon, filling the domain with unique vitality.

On a mountain peak.

Zhou Yuan was seated atop a boulder with his eyes tightly shut, evidently deeply submerged in a state of cultivation. The surrounding Genesis Qi flooded towards him, ultimately pouring into his body with each breath he took.

This training lasted for an entire day.

At a certain moment, the Genesis Qi around Zhou Yuan suddenly turned volatile. Rays of light emerged behind him, slowly forming a Divine Dwelling halo.

Not long after the first Divine Dwelling halo formed, countless specks of light converged next to it, brewing together for several dozen breaths before merging into a second Divine Dwelling halo!

Two Divine Dwelling halos!

This meant that Zhou Yuan had stepped into the intermediate Divine Dwelling stage!

When the second formed, Zhou Yuan’s tightly shut eyes slowly opened. His expression remained calm as he cast a glance at the halo behind him. He wasn’t very surprised because it was within his expectations.

It had already been a month since he had arrived in this domain with master Cang Yuan. Over this period, Zhou Yuan had immersed himself in cultivation whenever he had time because this was the only way he could temporarily suppress the grief brought by Yaoyao’s unconscious state.

Over the past month, his progress had been unusually quick.

Previously, Zhou Yuan had only managed to perfectly polish and connect two heavens in the Divine Dwelling. Over the past two months, he had polished and linked another two heavens. With this, four heavens were fully linked, allowing him to step into the intermediate Divine Dwelling stage.

Such cultivation progress amazed even Zhou Yuan himself, but he quickly realized that it was mostly due to the power patriarch Cang Xuan had left behind in his body.

Although the majority of patriarch Cang Xuan’s power had slowly dissipated as time passed, an infinitesimally small portion had been absorbed by his body.

Such a tiny amount might be insignificant to an existence like patriarch Cang Xuan, but it was extremely potent for a Divine Dwelling stage practitioner like Zhou Yuan.

This was why Zhou Yuan had managed to achieve such progress and step into the intermediate Divine Dwelling stage after a mere month.

However, his cultivation speed should return to normal when all of the patriarch Cang Xuan’s power faded completely.

The two Divine Dwelling halos soon dissipated.

Woo!

Something arrived at his side. Zhou Yuan shot a glance over, and found that it was Tuntun.

Tuntun leaned closely against his thigh. Its usually energetic self of the past was gone, replaced by a forever weak and lethargic appearance, its eyes filled with melancholy.

Yaoyao’s unconscious state was clearly also an extremely huge blow to the human-like Tuntun.

Zhou Yuan reached out and gently stroked Tuntun’s soft fur as he consoled, “Don’t worry, nothing will happen to Yaoyao.”

Tuntun’s hot tongue poked out of its mouth and licked Zhou Yuan’s hand. It could likewise feel the sadness in his heart.

Man and beast sat in silence on the mountain peak. Compared to before, there was one less beautiful figure in this picture. It felt as if a corner of a perfect painting had been torn.

Zhou Yuan sat there in silence for a long time. Only when the bright sunlight fruits slowly began to dim and turn into ice-cold starlight did he stand up and begin his descent to the valley below with Tuntun in his arms.

A small stream flowed through the mountain valley.
