Monarch of Time

As Shun Long opened his eyes, a popping sound was heard from his body, while 81 balls of qi were now hovering above his head.

He had finally reached the peak of rank 9 in earth grade.

Standing up from the red cushion, Shun Long took a look at the room around him, before he then changed his robes.

He had no need for the yellow robes of the 'Floating cloud sect' anymore.

After putting on a clean set of blue robes, he sat on the 'Silver-winged panther king's' back, as he then entered inside the golden door.

Cui Guoliang nodded his head when he saw Shun Long entering the hall, and with a smile on his face he said

''Brat, it's about time that I send you to the Night star continent. In a while, everyone else who has passed the second trial and wishes to go to the Night star continent as well, will also come here.

Make sure that you keep everything, about you passing the final trial, a secret.''

Shun Long nodded his head when he heard Cui Guoliang's words. Of course, he wasn't planning on telling people that he had passed through the last trial and paint a giant target on his back for no reason.

Otherwise, if other people caught wind of it, and thought that he had obtained a lot of treasures, that would certainly bring needless troubles.

Cui Guoliang smiled after seeing that Shun Long had understood his intentions, while his hands then formed a set of complicated seals.

The golden doors inside the rooms of the disciples, who had passed through the second trial were now unsealed, allowing these disciples to enter the throne room, one after the other.

Everyone was shocked to see a blue-robed young man sitting on top of a black panther, but in the presence of the Dao King, no one dared to utter a word.

Among the people entering the room, Shun Long soon spotted Liu Mei, who was staring at him, with astonishment in her eyes. A moment later, she flashed him a dazzling smile, before she followed the rest of the crowd, standing in a horizontal line in front of Cui Guoliang.

The disciples from the various sects were entering the throne room one after the other, and a few minutes later, including Shun Long, 10 people had already gathered inside, as they all looked at Cui Guoliang sitting on the throne.

Among those disciples, Shun Long saw a bald young monk from the 'Golden Buddha temple', as well as a black-robed disciple from the Poison Hall, who both stared at him with unconcealed shock in their eyes.

How could someone sit on a magic beast in the presence of the Dao King after all?

A few minutes later, Shun Long was also surprised, that he didn't see Liu Changpun or the sixth prince of the 'Snowcloud country', Yang Gongsun, among the disciples around him.

Remembering that Yang Gongsun had come to the Desolate east with an elder of the Snowcloud country, it wasn't actually that shocking, since he may have intended to return back, along with him. Liu Changpun's absence however, was truly baffling.

Just as everyone thought, that there was no one else coming along with them, the golden door once again lit up, as another person appeared in the throne room.

Both Shun Long, and Liu Mei, were stunned when they recognized this person.

It was a 2m(6.5ft) tall young man in yellow robes, with brown hair, and a plain-looking face.

When Wen Zihao entered the room, he exhaled a sigh of relief after seeing that everyone was still there.

Just like the rest of the disciples when they had entered the hall, he was also shocked after seeing the young man sitting on top of the 'silver-winged panther king's' back.

Staring at Shun Long, Wen Zihao felt certain that he had seen this man before, but he couldn't remember where.

Of course, as the number one disciple of the outer city in the 'Floating cloud sect', Wen Zihao hadn't really cared about Shun Long in the past. Although he had glanced at him once when they left the 'Floating cloud city', thanks to Shun Long changing his yellow robes, as well as Wen Zihao's own arrogance, he was unable to recognize the person in front of him just yet.

Cui Guoliang suddenly coughed, and seeing that he had gotten everyone's attention, he finally spoke

''I'm sure that all of you understand the reason that you are here. I, am offering you a chance, to leave this tiny place called the Desolate east, and go to a much bigger world. You will all be teleported a few hundred miles away, from the Silver sword city of the Night star continent.

You have all been used to, having your sects as your backings for many years, but this time, you will be on your own.

You can start your lives over again and enter new sects if you want, or you can even become mercenaries and hunt for magic beasts or take on other dangerous missions.

From today onwards, you are going to start a new life, and I hope that all of you can reach even higher heights!''

As he said the last line, Cui Guoliang stared at Shun Long for a second, before he formed another complicated set of seals with his hands.

The disciples of the sects bowed as their thanks to Cui Guoliang, when suddenly, a huge inscription lit up from beneath their feet.

The feeling of traveling through the void, once again enveloped Shun Long's body, and surprisingly, this time it lasted for quite a while.

A few moments later, the scene around Shun Long changed, and from the luxurious throne room, he now found himself on top of a tall mountain.

Seeing the scene around him, Shun Long remembered that it was exactly one year ago that he had arrived in the 'floating cloud sect' for the first time. So many things had happened since then, and now, a full year later, he has finally left the Desolate east, and arrived in the Night star continent.
