<h4>Chapter 113 - 113 Returning to the mortal world</h4>


    Under the respectful gazes of the crowd, Shun Long then walked out of the arena, as he headed back towards the ''Mystifying Fragrance pavilion''.


    The disciples in the crowd watched Shun Long''s back as he left with eyes full of reverence.


    After all, in the ''cultivation world'' only one thing was respected...strength.


    First, Shun Long had beaten Guan Hong to enter the top 1000, and Lei Pong followed right after him.


    After entering the top 200, Shun Long then challenged Xiao Juyan to enter the top 100, and finally, today he had cemented his position in the top 20 by defeating Fu Peizhi.


    His name quickly spread throughout the sect, as he was now considered someone on par with the other experts in the top 20 rankings.


    After returning to the ''Mystifying Fragrance pavilion'', Shun Long paid a waiter for the next 3 months of his room in advance, before once again ''entering seclusion''.


    For the next 2 days, he cultivated using the ''Heaven Swallowing vine'', while little ck was still sleeping inside the ''Stone of Time''.


    Although Shun Long''s cultivation hadn''t broken through to the peak of rank 4 yet, he was certain that he would do it in the next few days.


    At the same time, in these past 2 days Shun Long had felt little ck''s strength rapidly rising, and finally, on the third day of his seclusion, a powerful aura erupted from little ck''s body inside the ''Stone of Time'' as the ck dragon opened his bright blue eyes.


    ''''Master!''''


    Little ck looked happily at Shun Long who was still absorbing the pure qi from the ''Heaven Swallowing vine''.


    Shun Long then opened his eyes as he looked at the ck dragon who seemed happy and asked


    ''''Did you finish your breakthrough?''''


    ''''Indeed master. In terms of magic beast levels, I have reached the middle of rank 4 already. However, my strength right now can easily destroy any spirit realm expert or rank 4 magic beasts.


    Shun Long smiled, as he then stood up from his bed and said


    ''''Then let''s go.''''


    As he finished speaking, Shun Long put on his ck robes and opened a space tear directly from his room, to a small road 50 meters away from the ''Mystifying Fragrance pavilion''.


    ''''Master, where are we going?''''


    Little ck asked in a voice full of confusion, after seeing Shun Long immediately leaving his room in his ck robes.


    Shun Long smiled as he responded


    ''''To the ''mortal world''!''''


    2 hourster, Shun Long had arrived near the city gates.


    Although it was deep into the night, the outer disciples serving us the city guards were still patrolling around the gates.


    After all, the ''floating cloud sect'' had a rule, that unless a disciple had reached thete stages of the earth grade, they wouldn''t be allowed to leave the city. The only exception to this rule would be if a disciple epted a sect mission.


    Shun Long walked close to the city walls, and after making sure that there were no guards in sight, he shed the air with his left hand, opening a space tear.


    Without any hesitation, Shun Long entered inside it, as he then appeared at the other side of the city walls.


    After walking for a couple more hours, he had returned back to that invisible barrier, that was dividing the ''cultivation'' from the ''mortal world''.


    Thest time that Shun Long had been here, was a few months ago when he rode on that rank 3 ''red-winged condor'' and had arrived in the sect for the first time.


    More than half a year had passed since he had left the ''Sky Fortune Kingdom''.


    Shun Long then summoned little ck from the ''Stone of Time'', and after patting the dragon''s head he pointed at the barrier in front of them as he said


    ''''After we go through this barrier, we will be entering the ''mortal world''.''''


    Sitting on little ck''s back, Shun Long saw the ck dragon grabbing the barrier with his talons and easily ripping it open before he flew inside it.


    The moment that they entered inside, Shun Long and little ck saw a sea of clouds in front of them, as they had now returned back to the ''mortal world''.


    Little ck''s flying speed was extremely fast, and in just a few minutes, they had already arrived on the ind that the ''Sky Fortune Kingdom'' was located on.


    Pointing towards their northeast, Shun Long guided little ck, and less than an hourter they had arrived above the imperial city of the ''Sky Fortune Kingdom''.


    Looking at the city below them, Shun Long remembered how he hade here just a few months ago to participate in the sect selection test.


    Shun Long and little ck however didn''t stop at the imperial city, and 10 minutester, they had arrived outside of the ''Blue Forest city''.


    Looking at the familiar city in the distance, Shun Long petted little ck''s head as they flew above the city walls.


    The guards in the city gates were terrified as they saw the ck dragon flying above their heads as they immediately sounded the rm.


    Shun Long and little ckpletely ignored the terrified city guards, as they flew straight to the Shun estate.


    Less than a minuteter


    The guards outside the Shun estate were vigntly holding their spears as they were keeping watch outside the estate, when they saw little cking from the distance. The 2 guards almost pissed themselves from fright as they hurriedly run back inside the estate and locked the gates.


    The entire Shun estate, soon entered a state of unrest, as people saw a dragon hovering in the air above them.


    Even Shun Fang and Shun An had arrived at the scene and looked at little ck in terror.


    Little ck then descended in the Shun estate and as Shun Long removed his ck robes, people finally saw the young man on his back.


    Shun An was the first to recognize him as she unconsciously took a step forward, while the look in her eyes changed from the initial terror, to incredulity, and then to joy as she said


    ''''L-Long''er!''''
