--- Chapter 74 ---

Yu Long arrived at the dining room with his maids. He saw his parents and younger sister sitting around the dining table, waiting for him to come.

Several dishes are 'neatly' placed on the table, ranging from easy-to-eat food like congee and light soup to roasted meats. 

Grabbing a seat, Yu Long couldn't help but smile and greet, "Morning." 

"Morning, here." Yu Xin responded with a giggle. She also placed a plate down for her handsome son.

"Baba, baba~!" Yu Mei waved her hand at Yu Long. 

"Morning, Meimei." Yu Long poked the baby's little nose gently.

Yu Zhan watched this scene and was amused because he never thought his son would accept the younger sibling this fast. In the past, Yu Long wouldn't even talk to his half-brothers.

There were some exceptions, but the contact is still minimal.

Well, his son has become much more mature.

"What's with the gaze?" Yu Long glanced at his father.

Yu Zhan chuckled, "Nothing."

"Just take it as your senile old man thinking about a good time." 

"..." Yu Long. 

So, you're admitting you're a senile 'old man' now?

After that, Yu Zhan ignored Yu Long's suspicious gaze and sipped his morning coffee happily. 

"Oh, by the way. What level are you currently in?" All of a sudden, Yu Zhan asked.

"My cultivation base or profound arts?" Yu Long returned while picking up his chopsticks.

"Both!" Yu Xin said this time.

Yu Long stared at them and answered, "I'm currently at the peak of Tyrant Profound Realm. I could get into the Sovereign Profound Realm anytime, but you know why I don't do that." 

"Understandable." Yu Zhan nodded because Yu Long likes to comprehend the meaning of each cultivation realm. Before Yu Long left for seclusion, he was at the Peak Level of Sky Profound Realm.

"As for profound arts, they are level 21." 

"Pfft-!" Yu Zhan sprayed his coffee.

Yu Xin's hand froze mid-air, causing the roasted lamb to fall on the congee below it.

"Gugu, gaga~!" Yu Mei found this sight funny and laughed.

"A-Are you joking?" Yu Zhan wiped coffee from his mouth and table.

Yu Long shrugged, "No." 

"Why would I?" 

"After entering the seclusion and obtaining a reliable reference from the Dragon God himself, I can assure you the level of profound arts mastery I started is just a basic." 

He gave them a smug look, "The first ten levels are the 'basic' of handling one's energy and understanding the profound arts. Based on the profound ways. I called this the Acquired Realm." 

"From level 11 to 20, it's called Innate Realm." 

"In this realm, your profound arts wouldn't be limited in range and area anymore because it was strong enough to overpower it." 

"At this level, it's possible to create a Domain. Of course, it would be based on the profound arts you cultivated." 

"T-Then, what about level 21?" Yu Xin couldn't help but ask. 

Yu Long put on a mysterious expression and answered, "Level 21 is known as Ultimate Stage or Merging Realm." 

"Take a guess why it's called Merging Realm?" 

"..." Yu Zhan.

"..." Yu Xin.

Why are you questioning us instead?

Yu Long facepalmed himself at his parents' antics. 

It was a rhetorical question!

He sighed and explained, "Merging Realm is where one's mastery could affect the fabric of reality itself. Not in the literal sense, but close to manifesting your will in the real world." 

"The strong in the Age of Gods called this Manifestation of their concepts." 

"For example, I cultivated [Art of Violet Mist]." 

Violet mist suddenly appeared around Yu Long and turned into a cute teddy bear dancing around Yu Mei.

"Baba~!" Yu Mei's eyes lit up.

"You might think [Manifestation Aspect] could achieve this, but no." Yu Long laughed helplessly. "To reach level 21 or Merging Realm, you need to know what 'profound way' you walk on." 

"It's not a simple manifestation, but changing the world itself." 

"Well, don't overthink it for now." Yu Long pinched his chopsticks.

"Beside me, only Xia Qingyue could reach this stage." 

Yu Zhan and Yu Xin sighed, staring at their son in amazement. 

To think he would bring this mind-boggling surprise.

Isn't he simply a god now?

If Yu Long knew what his parents were thinking, he would laugh like a madman because God in this world is too lousy.

Hong Guan, Lily, and Chu Yueli awkwardly stood nearby. 

"Sit down." Yu Long said with a smile.

They nodded and grabbed a seat near Yu Long.

"Let's eat." Yu Xin calmed herself down and fed Yu Mei.

Yu Zhan nodded, "Yeah." 

They have enough for Yu Long's surprise for today.

Everyone enjoyed the breakfast, and Yu Long ate more portions than ever.

Yes, although Yu Long didn't lack food in seclusion, no one could beat the cooking at home.

Filling up his stomach, Yu Xin told Yu Long to bring his sister and bond over some walks.

Yu Long wanted to refuse, but damn. Mother is scary.

So, with the baby in his arms, Yu Long flew to the beach, where he ordered two of his Kaiju. 

He also brought some Shadow Phantoms along because this mission was beneficial.

"Um, Young Master. Are you really planning to visit my sect?" Chu Yueli hovered beside Yu Long. Her misty eyebrows fluttered due to the air.

Yu Long stared at the distance and answered, "Yes. Wait, are you perhaps don't want me to visit Frozen Cloud Asgard?" 

"No, no. I wouldn't dare." Chu Yueli flustered and hurriedly responded, which made her rather cute than usual.

The cold beauty is the most satisfying one to conquer, they say.

It would be a lie if Yu Long said he wasn't attracted to Chu Yueli, but the latter viewed him more as a god than a partner. And he couldn't do anything about it.

"Don't worry. I won't do anything to your Frozen Cloud Asgard." Yu Long uttered casually. "I'm simply visiting to give them a wake-up call, especially to your stubborn master and sister." 

Chu Yueli bit her lips because her young master was too good. Thinking about it, she hasn't served him much.

Their relationship might be vague, but they are indeed after spending time together for three years in the Dragon God Trial Grounds.

All Chu Yueli could say is, "Thank you, Young Master... Yueli will never forget your kindness." 

"...But can you treat my master and sister more gently later?" 

"I mean... That depends on their response." Yu Long returned with a playful expression.

"Okay." Chu Yueli took Yu Long's words for granted. She hoped her master and sister wouldn't be so dumb later when they visited.

They arrived at the beach and saw a massive whale and serpentine dragon in the water. 

"What is this..." A Shadow Phantom felt a dreadful sensation all over his body. "These creatures are beyond our league." 

"They are my servants, Levy and Oni." Yu Long answered, landing on the beach.

"And you, Shadow Phantom, would follow them to the other Continent." 

"There are other Continents?" The Shadow Phantoms are confused.

Yu Long crossed his arms, "There are two more Continents beside the Profound Sky Continent." 

"Your mission this time is to infiltrate them." 

"Are you up to the mission?"

Shadow Phantoms' eyes glistened as they bowed, "We will follow Lord Shadow's order!" 

"Good." Yu Long laughed in delight. "There is no time limit, but I expect you guys to find them quickly." 

"Also, you may use force, but don't endanger innocent people." 

"Report through our link if you encounter any problem." 

Shadow Phantoms nodded and separated into two groups, one to the massive whale and the other to the serpentine dragon.

Watching the two Kaiju swim away, Yu Long looked down and discovered Yu Mei sleeping soundlessly. She even drooled on his shirt.

"Yueli, handkerchief." Yu Long stretched his hand.

"Here." Chu Yueli grabbed a handful of handkerchiefs from her spatial ring.

Yu Long grabbed one and wiped the drool from his sister's mouth. 

Why is an adorable existence always so fragile?

"Let's go back. Hong Guan and Lily must have done their task." Yu Long grabbed Chu Yueli's hand and made her blush. 

Using short-distance teleportation several times, Yu Long returned to the Yu Clan in seconds. He looked around and found neither Hong Guan nor Lily in the area.

"Where are they?" Chu Yueli tilted her head upon arriving at the underground facility.

Yu Long checked the research room and discovered a note, "Hmm, this is..." 

"Uh, Rebellion in the eleventh base?"
