City of the Rising Moon Part 1

For the next month, Yun Che constantly fought beasts and monsters. Every day, he killed at least five Elementary Profound Profound Profound Beasts or one Advanced Profound Profound Profound Profound 1 level. In this way, he stabilized his profound strength, which, thanks to the Evil God's Fire Seed, jumped over 7 whole levels in a huge leap. For this reason, Yun Che did not cultivate his Profound Power and did not try to make further breakthroughs.

Also, among other things, Yun Che was mastering the profound movement skill taught to him by Jasmine, the Blurred Shadow of the Star God!

Star God Blurred Shadow was very similar to Moon Stream Decay, as each of these spirit skills left afterimages behind, and if the practitioner had enough speed and strength, he could easily attack the opponent at the same time in different places. But there were also differences between these divine techniques.

Lunar Stream Decay unlike Star God's Blurred Shadow was limited in its range of use, but Moon Decay had its own benefit of concealment. He could let the practitioner flawlessly retreat from the battlefield, leaving his aura at the battlefield, thus deceiving the enemy. But the even more terrifying ability of Moon Decay, which no one has been able to fully master for a long time, is invisibility.

Jasmine had initially assumed that Yun Che would need about three months to master the first stage, but he shocked her that he was already fully able to use one afterimage after one month.

———————————————

Jasmine sat on a large rock and watched the sparring between Yun Che and Huang Sheng. As soon as she noticed that Yun Che could already use the Spiritual Movement Skill in the first stage, she asked Huang Sheng to become his opponent.

Huang Sheng agreed to Jasmine's request without hesitation and lowered his level to Advanced Stage 6.

Yun Che has been unable to move Huang Sheng for more than ten minutes. He just used one hand to fight off his every attack, even with the afterimage, his speed was not enough to surprise the opponent.

"Just as I thought… he's not just a child." Yun Che had already stopped paying attention to the fact that Huang Sheng was treating him like a senior was treating a junior. He did not accept this, but Yun Che simply guessed the same thing as Jasmine. Huang Sheng is older than he looks! It was easy to see in his actions and his attitude.

Yun Che accepted this thought calmly, since in the world of cultivators it is common to find young-looking people who are actually many centuries old.

Blurred Star God Shadow!

Two Yun Ches attacked Huang Sheng from two directions.

Huang Sheng waved his hand, dispelling the afterimage, and immediately directed his palm towards the real one.

Yun Che clenched his teeth as a twinkle of confidence lit up in his eyes. He pretended to stumble and, as he fell, did somersaults.

Huang Sheng was confused, but when he noticed that Yun Che's backflip was pointing at his head, he extended one arm in front of him, clearly trying to grab his opponent's leg.

Yun Che smirked. He was waiting for this!

Evil God's Secret Art! First Gate: Soul of Evil!

Boom!

Huang Sheng widened his eyes in surprise when he felt that Yun Che's Profound Power had increased dramatically by two to three times! This surge of inner strength was like an avalanche, just as sudden and deadly.

Yun Che himself could not use the Evil Soul for a long time, but he did not need to. Only a moment should be enough to force Huang Sheng to retreat!

Huang Sheng sensed danger as he himself lowered his Profound Power to the Advanced Realm. So he raised both his hands up and crossed them, thus placing a block.

BAM!

Yun Che's foot hit Huang Sheng's arms, causing him to take a few steps back before he stabilized his position.

Even though Huang Sheng had an Emperor-level dragon body, his spiritual channels and internal veins were a different type of power. They depended on his cultivation, that is, the stronger his inner strength, the stronger his spiritual channels and veins.

Therefore, when Yun Che kicked his arms, Huang Sheng felt no physical pain, but he felt his channels and veins tighten as if they were being blasted from the inside, but Yun Che's profound strength was not enough for this step.

Falling back to the ground, Yun Che looked at Huang Sheng, who was stretching his arms, and laughed.

I did it, Jasmine!

- Hm! I see. Jasmine nodded and stood up from the rock she was sitting on and walked over to Huang Sheng. Looking at his hands, she asked in a calm voice, but in which you could hear concern. - Are you okay?

- Everything is fine. Huang Sheng nodded and stroked the girl's head.

Jasmine turned towards Yun Che and spoke with satisfaction.

"You can already open the First Evil God Gate: Evil Soul, but your strength is not enough to maintain this state for long enough.

"Then…when I can use the Soul of Evil without repercussions."

Yun Che now felt incredibly tired. Even though he only used the Evil God Art for a couple of seconds, he was already feeling pressure on his inner veins and would need at least half a day to recover.

"Hmm… according to my calculations, you need to reach the True Profound Realm.

While Jasmine was talking to Yun Che, Huang Sheng narrowed his eyes without them noticing. He sensed the abilities of the Evil God veins and could tell for sure that they were inferior to his Lightning Sparrow veins, at least in terms of Profound Strength.

A day later, when Yun Che was about to leave, Huang Sheng visited the Scarlet Dragon Cave for the last time.

"This is where we say goodbye, lizard. But before that, did you do what I asked?

The Scarlet Dragon nodded and headed deeper into the cave. Huang Sheng followed him until he saw the large carcass of the slain Dragon, from which the aura of the Emperor Profound emanated.

"The Ignition Dragon was my mentor when I was still a cub. He was already on his last legs and wanted to rest on the border of the Divine Incense Realm, since he had reached a bottleneck in his development and had not been able to break through for more than five hundred years. The Scarlet Dragon sighed in regret. He had no parents and was raised by the Ignition Dragon. Therefore, even if his mentor was quite cruel to him, the Scarlet Dragon still respected and loved him as his elder.

Did he give up his body?

- Yes. The Scarlet Dragon nodded.

- Fine. Huang Sheng walked over to the huge body of the Ignite Dragon, and clasped his hands, bowing.

The Scarlet Dragon also stood beside him and remained silent. They were both silent for just over a minute, until Huang Sheng sighed and took the dragon's body into his storage ring. His ring was not ordinary, since it could store herbs and prevent them from losing their properties, so even if Huang Sheng kept food in the ring, it would never go bad.

- Farewell, lizard. If fate deigns, we will meet again. Huang Sheng left the cave with the Scarlet Dragon and said goodbye to him. When he was leaving, Huang Sheng didn't turn around anymore, and the Scarlet Dragon took off and flew away from this place with a farewell roar…

Rising Moon City was located in the central-east part of the Blue Wind Empire, and had an area ten times larger than Floating Cloud City. An unthinkable number of small sects and clans were located throughout the city. The Blue Wind Imperial Families had also opened branches, and even the Xiao Sect and the Burning Heaven Clan had branches here. Therefore, countless practitioners within the city walls hoped for the good fortune that they could join the main sects for a better life.

On this day, a young man in a black cloak was walking towards the eastern gate of the City of the Rising Moon. He appeared to be 16-17 years old, immature, and his abilities were not credible. However, his gaze was cruel and penetrating, his appearance carried a determination and indifference that were not characteristic of his age. Walking firmly but slowly, each step left an imprint on the hard ground along with falling drops of sweat.

It was Yun Che, and on his back was a large flat iron plate that weighed over 300 kilograms. If it were a True Profound master, this plate would weigh next to nothing, however, for an Advanced Profound master, it was something that practically exceeded the limit he could lift.

But that wasn't all. On this same cast iron, a boy of about 13 years old comfortably lay with long white hair braided into a low ponytail and attractive red eyes. And while Yun Che was pouring out huge drops of sweat, Huang Sheng was lying down looking at the sky and sipping the cold juice from the straw that he had bought in Cian Forest City and stored for a long time with one hand, and he put the other under his head.

Yun Che could feel this little bastard mocking him, but he couldn't do anything because his master Jasmine ordered him to carry Huang Sheng....
