Dual Cultivation God Returns-Chapter 834: One Sun

Chapter 834: One Sun

“I need another charge before you go”, Wu Mengqi hugged Wu Long before they departed from the inn, charging up her ‘Skinship with Wu Long’ meter.

“Hahaha, you won’t really need that much”

“What do you mean, it’s a whole week”, she protested.

“Maybe, but it will be harder on me than on you”, he said.

“What arrogance! I might lose in many competitions with you, but-…”, Wu Mengqi’s eyes lit up with competitive spirit on this particular issue.

“That’s not what I mean, Mengqi. You’ll see soon enough”, he chuckled, cryptically answering as he kissed her once more before parting, and headed out of the inn gates.

Wu Long, Hong Yue, Gong Liwei and Cai Yin departed to the west of the city, arriving at a giant fortress of the Wei Dynasty built amid a Spiritual Land.

There were a great many people, all in Mortal Transcendence Realm, gathered already, and many more were arriving still, though it seemed that the flow finally started to subside as the time of the Secret Realm opening drew close.

All three beauties widened their eyes to various degrees at the sight, as on the Three Continents they came from Mortal Transcendence Realm experts were at one point considered the peak of existence.

Even after arriving in the Boundless Profound World, while there were a lot of them, they didn’t have the chance to see them at scale, as meeting them on the streets mixed into people of different cultivation diluted the experience. They might have at one point thought there were many around, but it never hit them exactly like this.

They never imagined a sight they were seeing now, where it seemed that Mortal Transcendence Realm cultivators were as common as Revolving Qi Realm practitioners were on the Three Continents.

Wu Long showed the guards their entrance passes, which Kwon Qianhong purchased for them beforehand, as there were limited spots to enter the Secret Realm.

As they passed through a series of gates, as it seemed that there were five layers of walls in this hexagon-shaped fortress with tall towers on all edges, they arrived at the innermost part which was completely empty.

An enormous, circular stone with a flat surface embedded into the terrain was all that was so securely guarded.

Though the stone seemed to be some sort of a rare mineral, it did not seem like it emanated any energy or had anything special about it other than its looks. And yet, all those entering the Secret Realm were instructed to float above the surface, not touching it.

“The festival we went to was called the One Sun Festival”, Cai Yin noted, “I assumed it was just because over the course of our time here in the city, the two suns began gradually merging into one, but the first gate we just went through also had the sign One Sun Fortress…”

“Mm”, Wu Long nodded with a smile, “To be exact, the smaller of the two suns is now behind the large one relative to this World. This happens once every 1000 years here. And quite soon, the position of the smaller sun would be exactly opposite this stone below relative to the large sun…”

As he spoke, the surface of the stone below started to slightly change color from dark gray to black.

“…and we will enter the Sun Shadow Secret Realm”, as he finished, the world around the circular platform was suddenly gone, while remaining the same atop it, as if there was an invisible column around them that cut them off from the outside.

The next moment, the surroundings reappeared, but without the fortress, and in a slightly colorless shade.

“This is the realm that exists as the large sun casts a ‘shadow’ by being illuminated by the smaller sun from the other side, and that shadow covers the Sun Realm Stone you see below us, though it’s just called that and no one really knows what it’s made of”, he explained to the shocked beauties.

“Wait… so when you said it would be harder on you before…”, Cai Yin widened her eyes, guessing something.

“Yes, that moment when the two suns and the World are in perfect position only lasts for about seven minutes outside the Secret Realm, while lasting a week here”, Wu Long nodded, adding, “Well, then, we better hurry”

Around a 100 talismans flew out around him as he made a one-hand sign, as the beauties nodded and instantly took specific positions around Wu Long, a movement formation that they practiced beforehand.

And as soon as the light film around the Sun Realm Stone dissipated, they flew out with speed no one in this crowd could match, as several people clicked their tongue with disappointment.

After all, Secret Realms were a lawless zone, and seeing the three beauties around Wu Long who was the only 3rd-level Mortal Transcendence Realm practitioner among peak of the Realm cultivators, many had certain thoughts.

Not to mention, that it was a well-known fact, that with Secret Realms that had single-point arrival without automatically and randomly throwing the participants into various locations, the first fight happened right at the gate after the realm opened. Which was also true now as only those at the edges of the circle ran off fast enough to not be dragged into a messy battle. The others had to fight their way out in order to start exploration.

The world around Wu Long’s group flew by fast, but the beauties could still vaguely guess it looked exactly like the normal Emerald Falls Continent.

“This direction… we’re going south?”, Hong Yue asked to which Wu Long nodded, “We can explore the other places, but there is one place I have to check first”

They only gained speed as Wu Long used the Wind Rune to the fullest. He wasn’t able to use the Lightning Rune as that was only reserved for times he was alone, or if he carried someone in his hands, not for a movement formation like this.

But even with this speed, they reached the Southernmost tip of the continent within hours, because he was using Long-Distance Movement Techniques.

They didn’t stop at the shore though, going over the sea and soon arriving at an island. An island with a sprawling Spiritual Land, that on the Emerald Falls Continent housed the Southern Sea Island Sect.

“This is the island of the same small Sect that first discovered the Yang attribute treasure”, Wu Long said, as the beauties gasped, realizing why he came here with such urgency.

“But wait… wasn’t it already harvested when this realm opened?”, Hong Yue furrowed her eyebrows in slight confusion, as her understanding was that it mirrored to an extent the Emerald Falls Continent at the exact moment the suns intersected.

“Mm, it was”, Wu Long nodded, “But this Secret Realm’s operation does not follow a strict and straightforward logic. It is true that it does not exist outside of the 7 minutes outside, and is ‘lost’ when those 7 minutes pass. But as you can feel, it has incredible and rich Spiritual Qi that seemed to have been amassing for at least a 1000 years”

As he spoke, they realized that as they stopped, and the bubble of Spiritual Qi of Wu Long’s Movement Technique came down, the richness of the Spiritual Qi that finally washed over them was overwhelming, as if suddenly breathing in an incredibly fresh and saturated air.

“And even though it is incredibly similar in some parts, it can be wildly different from the Emerald Falls Continent. So it might also have ‘memory’ for the lack of a better word of natural treasures that appeared on the Emerald Falls Continent since the last Sun Shadow Secret Realm opened”, Wu Long finished while he waited for them to catch their breaths, adding “Also, you might think this is a Yang-related Secret Realm, but it is actually a Yin one, so what I was hoping is to find a Yin-attribute natural treasure of equal or at least close value”

“Yin? Isn’t it created by two Yang entities, the two suns?”, Gong Liwei asked.

“Hmm, I cannot say. Perhaps the larger sun is in a sense casting a shadow if seen from the perspective of the light of the small sun. So the Yang of the larger sun is inverted, becoming Yin”, Wu Long traced his chin, making more of a hypothesis than giving actual explanation, which has not yet been uncovered.
