Chapter 1734 — Chapter 1734 Kelan's Plan

"What's with you and sparring?" Yuan sighed. "How about this? Instead of sparring with a suppressed cultivation, we will have a real fight when I catch up to your cultivation. You'll also have more fun that way."

"What? That'll take forever! I want to fight you right now!" Kelan said, sounding like a spoiled brat.

Yuan rubbed his eyes and said in a defeated voice, "Fine, I'll spar with you, but it'll only be for a little."

"That's more like it!" Kelan immediately suppressed his cultivation to match Yuan.

"Are you sure? You can increase your cultivation a little more if you want." Yuan said. "Yes, I'll be fine. I won't complain even if you defeat me in an instant," Kelan nodded.

Yuan turned to look at the others and said, "Can you give us some space? The further, the better."

Once Meixiu and the others were far enough, Yuan said to Kelan.

"I will come at you with my full strength. Don't blame me if I kill you by accident."

Yuan activated True Dragon Awakening and unleashed his aura in the next instant. An overwhelming pressure, several times more intense than what he had displayed during the tournament, permeated throughout Senior Bai's world, causing those who sensed it to tremble uncontrollably.

"H-heavens! What he showed us during the tournament was only a fraction of his true power?!" Xi Murong cried out loud.

Kelan wore a nervous smile on his face after sensing Yuan's aura, and he began regretting not taking Yuan's offer moments ago.

Seeing his expression, Yuan smiled and said, "It's not too late to increase your cultivation."

"N-n-no… I am fine…" Kelan responded, stuttering at the beginning.

"Suit yourself." Yuan retrieved Number One Under Heaven and activated God of War's Astral Arts next.

BOOM!

Yuan's aura continued to skyrocket, and just his presence alone was enough to cause instability in Senior Bai's world.

"Wait a second! This is just a spar! Are you really trying to kill me?!" Kelan exclaimed after sensing real killing intent from Yuan's gaze.

"What are you talking about? You're the one who asked for this." Yuan further strengthened his aura with his chaotic essence, causing cracks to appear in the world.

'Fuck! He'll kill all of us at this rate!' Kelan cried inwardly.

He raised his hand and sighed the next moment, "Alright, you win. We can postpone our match until we have a proper stage to fight on. Since Overlord Bai isn't here, the world is much weaker, and it will definitely collapse if we fight here."

Yuan smiled and said, "If you say so."

His overwhelming presence instantly vanished, and the world began repairing itself shortly after.

Once everything returned to normal, Kelan said, "I plan on bringing your friends to the upper heavens—to my sect, where I will be able to train them properly."

"Can you bring so many people with you at once?" Yuan inquired.

"Of course. It's going to be a little expensive, but I can manage. I can even bring you along—if you don't mind your identity being revealed, that is." "Thanks for the offer, but I should be fine."

"Where are you going to take us, exactly?" Chu Liuxiang asked.

"The Seventh Heaven."

"!!!"

"So we won't be able to see each other until Yuan reaches the Seventh Heaven…? I don't know if I like the sound of that…" Chu Liuxiang muttered with a perplexed expression on her face.

She wouldn't have minded if Yuan could log off, as they would still be able to meet on Earth. However, with Yuan unable to log off, they were essentially separated for an unknown period of time.

"It could be years before we see each other again!"

Meixiu and the others also became dejected after realizing this.

"It's just a few years. I promise I will try to reach the Seventh Heaven as soon as possible. Also, it's not like we won't be able to see each other. Look at where we are now. We can still meet in the Myriad of Techniques since it can be accessed from every realm." Yuan said.

"Now that you mention it…" Chu Liuxiang couldn't believe that she'd forgotten about the Myriad of Techniques despite being there currently. "If we can still see each other here, I guess I won't mind going to the Seventh Heaven…"

Yuan nodded with a smile.

However, someone there suddenly said, "Sorry, but I won't be going to the Seventh Heaven with you guys."

"Me too." Another voice followed.

Everyone there turned to look at the two individuals who had just spoken. It was Lan Yingying and Xi Meili.

"As Yuan's servant, I am obligated to follow him." Lan Yingying said.

Xi Meili then spoke, "I left the Ancient Dragon City to explore the world with Yuan. Although my prowess has improved significantly during the last three years, and I would surely become even stronger if I continued training in the Seventh Heaven, that is not my priority right now."

"Thank you for training me, but I will be staying with Yuan."

Lan Yingying and Xi Meili bowed to Kelan, who nodded with an understanding smile.

"Since you're both divine beasts, what I can teach you is very limited, and you're probably better off traversing the world with Yuan," he said.

Kelan turned to look at the other and said, "We'll set off to the Seventh Heaven in a few weeks. I'll leave for a bit to contact Overlord Bai and Celestial Overlord Xu now."

Kelan disappeared shortly after.

Once they were alone, Yuan said to them, "By the way, I have one more surprise for you guys."

"Feng Feng, you can come out now."

"What?" Xi Meili's eyes widened after hearing her name.

Feng Yuxiang appeared the next moment with a bright smile on her face.

"It's been a while, everyone."

"Feng Feng! You're back!"

Xi Meili almost cried tears of happiness after seeing that Feng Yuxiang had managed to survive.

Feng Yuxiang noticed Xi Meili staring at her and smiled, "I'm glad to see that you're also fine."
