Monarch Of Time

Chapter 776 - 776 The Strength Of The Murong Family (2)

Despite his initial surprise Shun Long didn't stop reading the information about Murong Tian.

However, the more he read, the more surprised Shun Long felt in his heart as time went on.

After reaching the peak of the Dao Emperor realm and becoming the patriarch of the Murong family, Murong Tian had only appeared twice in Murong city in the last 3000 years, and he was now presumed to have entered seclusion in preparation for his breakthrough to the Sovereign realm.

According to the information of the 'White tiger chamber of commerce', Murong Tian was considered to be one of the 10 strongest Dao Emperors throughout the entire northern part of the central region.

His greatest strength was his spiritual strength that vastly exceeded other peak rank 9 Dao Emperors, while his soul attacks could threaten anyone who had yet to step into the Sovereign realm.

Shun Long guessed that even experts like commander Quan from the Northern Sovereign's army would have to take someone like Murong Tian seriously.

Murong Tian's only weakness seemed to be fighting in close combat. However, according to the information of the 'White tiger chamber of commerce', Murong Tian also wore a piece of peak 2-star armor that protected him from most physical attacks.

With a peak 2-star armor to protect him, it didn't matter how weak his physical strength was, Murong Tian essentially didn't have any weaknesses whatsoever.

As soon as the information about Murong Tian entered his mind, Shun Long felt the memory jade in his hands finally crumble, before it turned into dust soon after.

Naturally, this was done from the 'White tiger chamber of commerce' to prevent its information from being passed down freely.

Although Shun Long could also try to create a similar memory jade if he wanted to, the information he would be able to record down clearly wouldn't be as detailed as that of the 'White tiger chamber of commerce', since he hadn't met the Dao Emperors of the Murong family personally.

Sometime later, Shun Long finally opened his eyes, and after a brief moment of silence, he mumbled to himself in a calm voice

''It seems that dealing with Murong Tian is nearly impossible right now.''

Little Black immediately opened his bright blue eyes the moment he heard Shun Long's voice, before the black dragon asked curiously

''Master, what's wrong?''

Naturally, Shun Long didn't hide anything from Little Black, as he shared with him all the information that he had obtained from the memory jade.

Without any hesitation, Little Black nodded his head and said calmly

''Master, it's better to forget about this matter for now. If that Murong Tian hasn't showed his face for 3000 years, he is most likely cultivating in seclusion inside the Murong family to prepare and breakthrough to the Sovereign realm. Since there are 2 Sovereign realm experts behind the Murong family as well, it's too dangerous for master to try and do anything to him.''

Little Black knew that the current Shun Long could afford to take this risk if he wanted to, since even Sovereign realm experts would be hard-pressed to take his life after Shun Long broke through to the Dao King realm, but whether he could succeed in killing Murong Tian was a different matter altogether.

Shun Long fell silent for a few moments before he nodded his head and agreed with Little Black.

Indeed, infiltrating the Murong family to deal with Murong Tian wasn't an option.

Putting aside how difficult it would be to even find and kill Murong Tian in the first place, Shun Long knew that there was no way that the 2 Sovereign realm experts of the Murong family would just sit there and allow him to kill a peak rank 9 Dao Emperor realm expert under their noses.

A few moments later, Shun Long mumbled to himself

''I will try to increase my cultivation as much as possible in the next few days. As for Murong Tian's matter, it will have to wait for now.''

Shun Long then took a deep breath, before he summoned the 'Heaven Swallowing vine' from the herb garden and started to feed it with high-grade spirit stones.

The enormous vine started to hungrily absorb the high-grade spirit stones around it, before it filled the air around Shun Long with extremely pure qi.

Shun Long closed his eyes and started to absorb the qi around him, as the outline of a golden ball of qi began to appear in his hands a while later.

..

At the same time, back in the 'Northern Sovereign's city', Liu Mei and the others had gathered at the entrance of the 'Southern dragon's courtyard' and faced the silver-robed Northern Sovereign who was standing in front of them, before Bai Longtian cupped his hands at the Northern Sovereign and said in an apologetic manner

''Apologies senior, but brother Shun has entered seclusion and cannot be contacted right now. We hope that senior understands.''

The Northern Sovereign stared at Bai Longtian silently for a few moments, before she then asked

''Did he say how long he was planning to stay in seclusion?''

Nodding her head, Xingyi answered the Northern Sovereign's question

''Brother Long said it shouldn't take more than 2 months if things go well.''

The Northern Sovereign didn't speak right away, and after a few more moments of silence, she shook her head and said

''I was planning to introduce him to the geniuses of the Tianhuan dynasty that would enter the 'City of Immortals' this time, but it seems that that's impossible for now. So be it then. You can tell Shun Long to come and see me in my courtyard after he is finished with his seclusion.''

Nodding their heads, Bai Longtian and the others all cupped their hands at the Northern Sovereign who disappeared from the entrance of the courtyard shortly after.

A moment later, after Xingyi and the others returned back to the courtyard, Liu Mei turned to look at Xingyi, Jiang Chen, and Bai Longtian, and said in a calm voice

''I'm going to leave the city for a few days.''
