Holding the Flaming Bar's hand, Ji Dong walked out of the Magic Bartender Guild with a faint smile on his face. His mood was as clear and sunny as the cloudless blue sky.
The Eighteen Arhats and Eighteen Somersaults had conquered everyone in the Bartenders Guild. This was a unique technique invented by Ji Dong, and it was also the pinnacle of bartending in this world.
Du Sikang had already admitted defeat before the third round, because he knew that he would never be a match for Ji Dong even if he tried his best. When he brought the Famous Wine Manual and a bottle of Vast Sea Nectar to Ji Dong, he did not feel any regret or heartache. He told Ji Dong that it was the miracle Ji Dong had shown him a new direction for bartending. He would definitely record this competition and leave it to the future generations of the Bartenders Guild. He also believed that the value of this record of the competition between the two Gods of Wine would definitely not be lower than a bottle of Vast Sea Nectar. He accepted his defeat wholeheartedly.
Ji Dong declined Du Sikang's good intentions of sending them off, as well as the North Water Empire's invitation to a national banquet. At this moment, the Bartenders Guild's Famous Wine Manual and a bottle of Vast Sea Nectar were lying in Ji Dong's Vermilion Bird Bracelet. However, the number of 1,000-year Source of Life in his Vermilion Bird Bracelet had increased from eight to seven. In the end, he still gave a bottle of Source of Life to Du Sikang as a gift, not because he was softhearted, but because of his respect for Du Sikang. Du Sikang's bartending skills had completely earned his respect. Ji Dong understood that if it were not for the huge breakthrough in his spiritual power, it would be hard to tell who would win today's competition.
Whether it was [Nine Suns Over the Sky], [Nine Dragons Frolicking with Pearls], or [Eighteen Arhats Eighteen Somersaults], they were all abilities that could only be displayed after the qualitative change in his spiritual power. Facing a God of Wine who was on the same level as him, Ji Dong could completely understand Du Sikang's feelings. Therefore, he left a bottle of Source of Life for Du Sikang. Only a bartender of Du Sikang's level would not treat a famous wine like the Source of Life as a tonic.
Seeing the smile on Ji Dong's face, the Flaming Bar smiled and said, "Ji Dong, what do you plan to do next?"
Ji Dong said, "Let's return to the Middle Earth Empire. I suddenly remembered that I have to meet someone and pick someone up. After that, I won't return to the core of the world. I'll find a place to cultivate for a period of time, and after I've mastered what I've learned recently, I'll directly participate in the Battle of the Sage and Evil."
The Flaming Bar smiled and said, "Alright, I'll listen to you. Bring Ah Jin with you to participate in the Battle of the Sage and Evil. With Ah Jin's help, I'll be more at ease."
Ji Dong looked at Ah Jin, and found that Ah Jin was also looking at him. Their gazes met, and Ah Jin seemed to be avoiding him. Ji Dong hurriedly retracted his gaze, he could already sense something from Ah Jin's unnatural behavior. When he looked at the Flaming Bar again, he found that the Flaming Bar was looking at him with a profound smile. He helplessly shook his head and said, "Let's go. To be honest, I'm really looking forward to the start of the Battle of the Sage and Evil."
Raising his head to look at the sky, Ji Dong couldn't help thinking back to what the Heavenly Secrets had said to him. Back then, he said that seven years was about to arrive. Could it be that something would really happen in the Battle of the Sage and Evil? "Saint Disciple of the Twin Flames, ever since the birth of the Heavenly Stem Saint Disciple, you're the first Saint Disciple to have dual attributes. This undoubtedly means that you'll have a powerful future, but it also means that you'll have to face even greater challenges. Ji Dong, you'll be the leader of this generation of Heavenly Stem Saint Disciples, the Saint Ruler who controls the rise and fall of the world."
"A Saint Ruler born at the right time. All of your opportunities, even your birth, were caused by the will of the heavens. Your future path will be extremely difficult and bumpy, and you might even be surrounded by tragedy. However, you'll still be the Saint Ruler who watches over the world."
"Now is not the time to do anything. I've revealed the Heavenly Secrets at the cost of my vitality, but I hope that you'll be prepared. You still have seven years. After seven years, the world will be in chaos."
"I've used twenty years of my vitality in exchange for a sentence of guidance for you. You must remember that chaos awakens in the Flaming Bar, and God will bring endless sorrow. The moment of extreme pain is also the time to break out of the cocoon and be reborn. Illusion, reality, the soul struggles in the Flaming Bar, and is broken in the Flaming Bar for eternal life. When the Flaming Bar reappears in the world, the will of the heavens will change. Nothingness, illusion, emptiness, you can't see the endless future. I only hope that the ending is not a tragedy. Remember, remember."
…
Half a year later, at the Coast of the East Sea.
The allied forces of the five countries stationed here had recently become lively again. A large number of troops were mobilized, the overall exercise, and the gradually somber atmosphere showed that the grand event that happened once every five years was about to begin.
On the Radiant Five Elements Continent, all the powerhouses' gazes were focused on the Coast of the East Sea at this moment. Even though the time of peace had been too long, who would dare to relax in this kind of Holy War?
Fury had already brought the disciples of the Yin-Yang Hall and the hundreds of elite students of the Heavenly Stem Academy to the military camp to make preparations. After the Holy War ended, another batch of new students would replace the old students who had been stationed here for five years.
This time, the Heavenly Stem Academy was completely led by Fury alone. He had replaced his teacher Zhu Rong as the director of the Fire element in the Heavenly Stem Academy, and he was also in charge of two elements at the same time. Currently, Fury's status in the Heavenly Stem Academy was getting higher and higher. During this period of time, his magic power had increased again, reaching level 79. Level 79, coupled with his Extreme Yang Thunder and Purple Thunder Heavenly Dragon, his strength was already one of the best in the Heavenly Stem Academy, especially among the students.
Following the reconciliation between Ye Xin and Fury, the entire Yin-Yang Hall was like an iron plate. Even the board of directors had to be wary of the Yin-Yang Hall. Fury alone was not scary, but the board of directors clearly remembered the scene when the siblings, Yin Zhaoyang and Yin Zhaorong, came to the Central Plains City to ask for him. Ji Dong was their disciple, and so was Fury. Moreover, Fury was only in his early thirties, and it was almost certain that he would break through to the Nine Crowns and become the next supreme powerhouse.
However, at this moment, Fury was not in the military camp of the Five Great Empires. Ye Xin was holding his arm, and the two of them were strolling on the beach, looking at the gloomy Myriad Lightning Calamity World in the distance. From time to time, lightning flashed across Fury's eyes.
"Ultimate Weapon Li Yonghao, this time's Holy War will be the deciding moment between us. I won't give you any more chances." Fury shouted towards the direction of the sea.
Ye Xin quietly stayed by Fury's side. After five years, she looked even more mature. She was like a ripe honey peach, charming and captivating.
The current Fury was very different from before. He was no longer so obstinate and self-opinionated. He was more willing to listen to the opinions of others. His relationship with Ye Xin was more stable and warm. Being by his side, Ye Xin felt very at ease. No one knew better than her how hard Fury had trained and how terrifyingly strong he was.
Holding Fury's big hand with both hands, Ye Xin smiled sweetly and said, "After this Holy War, don't forget what you promised me."
Fury's gaze turned to Ye Xin. His eyes, which were filled with domineering might, instantly became much gentler. He pulled her into his embrace and said, "How could I forget? This Holy War should be the last one I'll participate in. Junior Brother has already grown, and even I'm shocked by his strength. Next time, with him leading us, we'll still be the victors of the Holy War. After this war, I'll also start a family. You've suffered following me all these years, and I've never brought you out to play like other people's boyfriends. After we get married, I'll definitely bring you around the entire continent to make it up to you. "
If anyone saw Fury now, they would definitely be so shocked that they couldn't close their mouths. Was this still the domineering Thunder Emperor? His gaze was so gentle, without the slightest trace of his usual domineering aura.
Actually, as long as I can be with you, it doesn't matter where I go. I'm not someone who can't stand loneliness. Even if it's the most ordinary life, I'll be satisfied. Fury, do you know that I'm really grateful to Ji Dong? I've always felt that he was the one who changed you and made you different from before. Now, you're almost perfect in my eyes. I don't have too many extravagant requests. Being your wife is my biggest goal now. "Fury smiled and said," I'm satisfied with your words. Actually, as long as I can be with you, it doesn't matter where I go.
Fury chuckled and said, "I'm the lucky one. Back then, I was too foolish. However, speaking of little junior brother, this kid is truly a marvel. Compared to him, I'm not considered a genius at all. I wonder what surprises he'll bring me in the next six months. If I continue to lead the way for him, the Holy Demon Battlefield will definitely be his in the future."
Ye Xin smiled and said, "Looking at the time, he should be here soon. To be honest, I really find it hard to believe that he's able to catch up to you in just a few short years. In terms of geniuses, I'm afraid no one can compare to your little junior brother."
As Ye Xin spoke to this point, she suddenly felt Fury's body move slightly. He pointed to the sky and laughed, "Haha, look, isn't that him?"
Ye Xin looked in the direction where Fury was pointing and saw a thick cloud drifting over from afar. If one did not pay close attention, they would not be able to tell that it was different from other clouds. She asked doubtfully, "Are you saying that Ji Dong is in that cloud?"
Fury smiled and nodded, "Others might not be able to tell, but how can he hide it from me? I'm the controller of lightning. That's the effect of little junior brother's Sacred Evolution Fire Dragon. "As he spoke, he raised his hand and waved it in the air, causing a thunderous explosion.
As expected, the cloud in the sky drifted down just like that, bringing with it an illusory aura. Two completely different dragon roars echoed in the air, one deep and one clear.
Ji Dong's clear voice rang out from the sky, "Senior brother, sister-in-law, I'm not late, am I?"
The clouds dispersed, and the Sacred Evolution Fire Dragon's appearance was revealed. Fury could not help but be shocked when he saw it. It was different from the last time he saw it. The Sacred Evolution Fire Dragon before him had undergone a huge change. Its body had become much larger and thicker than before. Its body length had also increased to 15 meters. Even though it had restrained its aura, Fury and Ye Xin could still feel a strong pressure being released from its body.
The scales on the black and white halves of its body emitted a faint layer of gold. Every scale became heavier and more dazzling, and the dragon's double-headed eyes shone with an almost tangible brilliance. Even Fury could not help but feel a little envious of the majestic and spirited appearance of the dragon.
There were a total of three people on the Sacred Evolution Fire Dragon's back: two men and one woman. Ji Dong did not wait for the Sacred Evolution Fire Dragon to land before he flew down and arrived in front of Fury and Ye Xin. Of the other two people on the dragon's back, Fury had seen Ah Jin, who wore golden armor and covered his entire body. However, it was his first time seeing the other person. However, the one who attracted Fury and Ye Xin's attention the most was still Ji Dong.
It had only been half a year since they last saw each other, but Fury discovered that Ji Dong felt as if he had been reborn. As a possessor of Ultimate Magic, he had the most profound feeling. The junior brother in front of him exuded a feeling that he could see through everything. His gaze seemed to be clearer than before, and faintly, his body released an aura that he could not fathom.
Fury shook his head helplessly. He smiled and said, "Junior Brother, it looks like you've made a breakthrough again. Can you not be like this? Every time we meet, you have to give me a huge shock. My heart can't take it anymore.
Ji Dong chuckled. "Senior brother, don't make fun of me. Although my cultivation has improved recently, how can I compare to you?"
At that moment, the Sacred Evolution Fire Dragon had already landed. Its nine dragon claws, which were different from the traditional five claws of the Huaxia Dragon God, touched the ground at almost the same time. Its noble, dignified, and high dragon head and its arrogant aura caused Fury and Ye Xin's gazes to land on it again.
"Junior brother, don't tell me that your Sacred Evolution Fire Dragon has already evolved?"
Ji Dong chuckled. "It has evolved. Speaking of which, it can be considered a coincidence. In terms of strength, it is even stronger than me." Every time he saw the Huaxia Dragon God in Maotai and Wuliangye, Ji Dong could not help but be filled with pride. Although they were different from the dragon head in Ji Dong's impression of it having five claws, the two heads and nine claws were more noble. It could be said that this was a gift from the Flaming Bar!
