4 Fifth Level Profound Qi Realm

Xiao Long cultivated until the sun peaked.

When he reopened his eyes for the first time, it shone with a bright light that emitted an otherworldly feeling.

He takes in a deep breath, and when released, his breath becomes a visible white mist that glitters like stars.

"Fifth Level Profound Qi Realm, not too shabby for someone who has never cultivated with a human body, let alone with a human Dantian."

Dantians are what humans use to store their Spiritual Essence and the source of their cultivation base — their power. If damaged or broken, that person will lose some if not all of their cultivation bases and become a cripple that will no longer be able to cultivate.

Humans have Dantians to cultivate while Spiritual Beasts have Spirit Cores, and the Calamity God, who was in the form of a dragon in his previous life, cultivated with a Spirit Core, hence his unfamiliarity with his Dantian.

"Long'er, we are ready to leave!" Xiao Mo Li's shout echoed in the halls.

Xiao Long stood up to stretch before leaving his room.

"Do you have everything you need?" she asked him when they met outside the residence, where a few carriages were stationed.

"I am not bringing anything," he replied calmly.

Xiao Mo Li looked a bit dazed at his answer.

"You did not bring anything? You do know that we are heading to the Li Family to celebrate the coming-of-age of their Young Lady, right? It's impolite if you go empty-handed."

"..." Xiao Long stared back silently, his face nonchalant.

Why do humans have to worry about little things like this? What is the point in celebrating someone's age?

"Ai, worry not. I have many gifts in the other carriages just in case, you can take one of them and make it your own." Xiao Mo Li said.

"Thank you," Xiao Long said.

"Junior brother Long!" Xiao Lan's cheerful voice suddenly called for him in the distance.

He turned to look, and sure enough, Xiao Lan was coming their way with a bright expression.

However, behind her were 3 other figures, all male.

The one in the middle of their group was a middle-aged man with handsome and sharp features. His facial features all gave off a natural feeling of dominance and superiority; he was Xiao Tian, the head of the Xiao Family and Xiao Long's father.

The other two has similar looks and seemed to be a bit older than Xiao Lan and was obviously Xiao Long's elder brothers, but unlike Xiao Tian, whose face was nonchalant upon seeing Xiao Long's face, theirs was filled with shock and disbelief.

The shock on their faces lasted only for a split second, but it didn't escape Xiao Long's senses.

"Are you also coming with us to the ceremony?" Xiao Lan asked him.

"Un."

"This is great! I didn't think that you would be able to come because of your condition, but I am glad that you are!"

"You can start flirting once we get in the carriage," said Xiao Tian, their father.

He looked at Xiao Long with narrowed eyes and snorted. "Hmph. Your weak body is the result of not listening to me! If you cultivated, would you have collapsed out of nowhere?"

"Dear!" Xiao Mo Li glared at him with anger in her narrowed eyes, "What did I tell you yesterday when I had said to not mention that in front of him!"

"..."

Cold sweat could be seen on Xiao Tian's forehead upon being yelled at by Xiao Mo Li, but he ignores it and walks directly into the carriage.

"Don't mind your father, Long'er. He doesn't know that you have already started cultivating," Xiao Mo Li whispered in his ears, "We'll make sure to surprise him when you're strong enough, okay?"

Xiao Long smiled and nodded silently.

"Junior brother Long, I am glad that you're fine!" one of the two brothers walked up to him and smiled, showing him his white teeth.

"I couldn't sleep for three nights straight since you collapsed! It was really troublesome! But I'm also glad that it was nothing serious."

"Elder brother Xiang and elder brother Cheng are too kind, I have troubled you," said Xiao Long with a bright smile that seemed like a grin, "Please forgive me for the troubles I will be causing you two in the future in advance."

The corner of their lips twitched when they heard his energetic voice that seemed to carry a hint of sarcasm.

"Don't mind causing us trouble, we're your elder brothers, after all."

"Elder brother Xiang is right, you can cause as much trouble as you want and we will still love you."

Xiao Long continued to smile and said calmly, "Oh, I will."

"..."

The brothers no longer spoke to him and followed Xiao Tian into the carriage.

Xiao Long glanced at their back with killing intent hidden deep inside his gaze, causing the two to tremble for a split second.

"How odd… They usually speak to junior brother with arrogance and disgust in their tone, but I couldn't sense any of that just now. Maybe they had a change of heart after seeing him collapse," Xiao Lan mumbled on the side, her expression showing a hint of suspiciousness.

Xiao Long sneered in his head, "Although I do not know your reason for wanting to kill me, even if you are my blood-related brothers, if you dared to kill me, then I will also dare to kill you!"

"Long'er, we should also go inside. The trip is two hours long; if we leave now, we should be there just in time." Xiao Mo Li said to him as she went into the carriage.

"Let's go, junior brother."

Xiao Lan also went inside, followed by Xiao Long.

"Start the carriages!" Xiao Tian's authoritative voice yelled from inside the carriage.

"Yes, sir!"

"Hah!"

The sound of whips cracking resounded and the carriage began moving.

Very soon, all the carriages left the Xiao City.
