Chapter 859: Drop of 'Immortal water'

Staring at the translucent drop of water in front of him, Shun Long was momentarily taken aback, as a myriad of thoughts began to course through his mind.

Although most people may not be aware of what this drop of water actually was, Shun Long could immediately recognize it with a single glance, which was why he was so surprised.

At the same time, within the foggy space in the 'Stone of Time', a look of doubt had also appeared on Little Black's face as his bright azure eyes stared intently at the drop of water that was floating in front of Shun Long, and after a few moments of silence, the black dragon finally muttered in a voice filled with disbelief

''How is this possible? There is actually 'Immortal water' in this place?''

Shun Long nodded his head as he was just as surprised as Little Black.

After all, 'Immortal water' was a type of natural type of treasure that could only be found in the 'Immortal Dimension' and couldn't possibly appear in a place like the central region of the cultivation world.

Shun Long knew that this drop of 'Immortal water', could not only be used as an ingredient for alchemy, but it could also be consumed directly by body refinement cultivators to increase their strength even further.

In fact, to magic beasts and body refinement cultivators who lived in the 'Immortal Dimension', 'Immortal water' was one of the most sought-after type of treasures that they used to increase their strength.

Even this single drop of 'Immortal water' in front of Shun Long was enough to allow an average body refinement cultivator who was at the peak of the fifth stage to immediately breakthrough upon consuming it and reach the early sixth stage instantly!

However, Shun Long also knew that consuming 'Immortal water' this way was a huge waste of such a treasure.

After all, 'Immortal water' was meant to be consumed in large quantities to obtain even better results.

A single drop of 'Immortal water' by itself had quite negligible effects and wasn't worth too much to experts at the Dao Emperor realm and above, but if one consumed it in large quantities, that would be an entirely different story.

Waving his right hand, Shun Long then took out an empty pill bottle from the 'Stone of Time' and stored the drop of 'Immortal water' inside it, before he turned his gaze deeper towards the 'Illusion oasis'.

The moment that the white leopard's figure collapsed and turned into white fog, Shun Long could see the rest of the white fog around him that had started to thin out considerably, almost as if it was consciously opening up a path for him.

At the same time, inside the foggy space in the 'Stone of Time', Little Black stared at the drop of 'Immortal water' that was floating calmly inside the alchemy bottle, before the black dragon said in a voice filled with excitement

''Master, I don't know who created this place but since there was a drop of 'Immortal water' here, there must be even more of it deeper inside. This place is a treasure trove for master!''

Nodding his head, Shun Long agreed with Little Black, as he began to follow the path that had been opened by the white fog without any hesitation.

Indeed, just like Little Black had said, Shun Long also guessed that this place was most likely going to be a treasure trove for him, causing a smile to appear on his face.

After all, if there was a single drop of 'Immortal water' to be obtained so early in this trial, it was very likely that one would be able to obtain even more of it if they headed even deeper inside. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on Noᴠelꜰire

Even if there were no more drops of 'Immortal water', the treasures deeper inside this place should be at least at a similar, if not an even higher level than this drop of 'Immortal water'.

At the same time, this trial seemed to be testing a person's spiritual strength, which was Shun Long's current strongest trait.

It would be one thing if this place tested a person's cultivation base or even their combat strength, but spiritual strength was the one thing that Shun Long was certain that no other Dao King could possibly compare with him, even with his current cultivation base.

In fact, even most early-stage Dao Emperors would find themselves completely helpless if they were to compare spiritual strengths with Shun Long.

A few moments later, Shun Long arrived at the end of the path in front of him, before he noticed the white fog around him that had started to become even more condensed than before.

Once again, the white fog surrounding him had completely blocked his vision, before it started to invade his spiritual sea for the second time. And yet, Shun Long simply ignored it as he began to make his way deeper towards the depths of the 'Illusion oasis' shortly afterwards.

With every passing step he took, the pressure from the white fog seemed to be increasing even further, and yet Shun Long was barely affected by it as he kept walking forward with steady steps.

In fact, Shun Long could barely sense any pressure from the white fog itself and was simply walking slowly in case he encountered another beast like the white leopard.

Finally, after walking for a little more than an hour, Shun Long's footsteps suddenly came to a halt before his golden eyes lit up with a bright blue and golden light!

At the same time, the white fog around him had started to churn and coalesce together, slowly taking the form of a familiar-looking magic beast that was more than 15 meters (49ft) tall.

Staring at the figure of the white leopard in front of him that was made entirely from white fog, Shun Long's lips curved upwards forming a bright smile, before his aura at the peak of rank 3 in the Dao King realm suddenly exploded outwards!

Author's note: As you guys have noticed, during the past few months the release rate has been inconsistent, with the last 2 months being in the worst state possible as I was struggling to write even a single chapter. This is because during the past 5 months I had to face too many issues in real life, including family emergencies, as well as my mandatory military service on top of everything.

In the first couple of months, it wasn't too bad as I could still do my best to write at least 1 chapter a day if not 2 of them, but in the last couple of months, it was nearly impossible to write even a single chapter, both due to the lack of available time to work in the army as well as a lack of sleep.

This is why the release rate has been so horrible lately. Normally, people would be allowed to leave the camp once every 2-3 days, but that was only for half a day to a day at most.

6 days ago I went to the garrison headquarters to ask for an early release so I could cut my military service short, but I was told to go back on Tuesday since the people present were unable to help.

Thankfully, I managed to come to an agreement with the people in charge recently, allowing me to return back home earlier than expected.

Thank you for your patience during the past couple of months, and especially this month where I know you guys have been completely starved out of chapters.

I will do my best to make up for the lost days, slowly but surely.

Zeus.
