Chapter 1127 Rejection of good intentions
"What is this?"
Long Chen looked at the pearl in the Profound Master’s hand and could not help but be taken aback. That was because he could sense a strong Heavenly Energy from the pearl. Please search for the most complete one! Fastest novel updates
“This is Ma Xingkong’s Destiny Star Orb. Inside it is the comprehension of Heavenly Dao by Ma Xingkong throughout his life. The energy is incomparably great, enough for all your Dragon Blood Warriors to comprehend it together.”
Your Dragonblood Warriors, when comprehending the energy within, will allow them to reach an unprecedented level of mastery in the use of Heavenly Energy. The Profound Master said.
Long Chen was surprised. To challenge someone who was a level higher was as easy as breathing. Just what kind of heaven-defying ability was this? Wouldn’t that mean that every single Dragon Blood Warrior was already a sixth level Skywalker?
Long Chen couldn’t help but be overjoyed, but he quickly thought of something. He hesitated for a moment and said, “Disciple cannot accept this Fated Star Pearl.”
"Why?" The Profound Master was stunned.
"If my guess is correct, if this Fated Star Bead is given to the Academy Master, he might be able to break through the current barrier and reach the same level as you." Long Chen said.
"Yes, about thirty percent chance." The Grand Master thought for a moment before nodding his head and replying.
“Then I’ll give this Life Star Pearl to the head of the academy. I gave it to the head of the academy, so you can’t give it to anyone else, especially that Hall Master of the Enforcement Hall.” Long Chen said cautiously. If the Academy Master gave the Pearl of Fate to the Law Enforcement Hall’s Hall Master, Long Chen would go crazy.
“Why did you give it to him instead of leaving it to your Dragon Blood Legion? You have to know, with this Life Star Bead, your Dragon Blood Legion will grow to the point where everyone’s expressions will become terrifying.” The Profound Master did not understand.
"Because the head of the academy is an elder that is worthy of respect. I am willing to leave this chance to those who have helped me. This way, my heart will feel a bit more at ease." Long Chen said.
"This reason is a bit far-fetched." The Profound Master said.
"Another reason is that my ambition is greater than you think." Long Chen said.
"What do you mean?"
"If my Dragonblood Warriors were to meditate on this Pearl of Life, their comprehension of Heavenly Energy would reach an extremely terrifying level.
In the future, when I break through, it will be as easy as eating and drinking, and my battle prowess will be raised to an almost insane level.
The greater the benefit, the greater the disadvantage. If I’m not wrong, if the Dragon Blood Legion uses this Fated Star Pearl, then their cultivation will never be able to compete with us again. " Long Chen said.
“That’s right. But even so, over thirteen thousand people, at least a tenth of them in a hundred years, can reach the level of the Academy Master. Are you still not satisfied?” the Profound Master asked in disbelief.
How many geniuses had their cultivations stopped at the King’s Realm? It was their lifelong dream to be able to reach that realm.
If everyone collectively refined this Fated Star Pearl, they would definitely step into the King’s Realm within ten years. After a hundred years, they would be able to reach an even higher realm.
A tenth of the total number of people was already over a thousand. Even the main level experts of the Mysterious Heavenly Dao Sect numbered less than a hundred. Yet, Long Chen was still unsatisfied. What was he planning to do?
"It’s not that disciple is greedy, it’s that disciple can’t afford to wait, and the principal level is not their goal.
I don’t even know how big a goal my brothers have. If my brothers’ cultivation level stops at the head of the academy and I still have to continue fighting, if they can’t keep up with my footsteps, then it would be a life worse than death for them.
We are all brothers in life and death, and we understand each other hearts the best. They would rather die on the battlefield than take down their armor and return to the fields.
This Fated Star Pearl is a treasure to others, but to us Dragon Blood Warriors, it is a venom that will destroy our Dragonblood Legion. " Long Chen shook his head.
He didn’t understand what Long Chen’s goal was. If the disciples of the Dragon Blood Legion had already reached the main branch, then he could already start his own sect in the Sky Martial Continent. What would he do then?
"Are you really sure that your Dragonblood Legion can surpass the Principal?" The Profound Master asked.
"We can’t be sure, but at least our future is unknown. As long as we don’t know, then there is an unlimited possibility.
But if you use the Fated Star Pearl, then this will be blocking our way. Once you know the end of your life, then fighting will be meaningless. " Long Chen said.
"I didn’t expect you to think so far ahead. Good, I will give the Fated Star Pearl to Liu Cang later on.
However, this way, it seems like you worked hard for nothing and didn’t get anything, otherwise … " The Profound Master was not in a good mood. Long Chen would be at a disadvantage if this happened. Everything else was just minerals and Long Chen would not be able to get any direct benefits.
"Master Xuan, you are too courteous. How could I possibly have worked so hard for nothing? The promotion of the blood drinker to the King Armament is already my greatest gain."
Furthermore, in this battle, I saw a new style of attack. After a great battle, I have benefited greatly and gained a lot of battle experience.
Most importantly, I gave Ma Hengkong a fierce slap. This is the most glorious slap that I have given so far in my life. " Long Chen gestured.
The Profound Master couldn’t help but laugh. This slap of Long Chen’s was most likely to become an unheard-of slap in history. It had never happened before and would probably never happen again in the future.
"Long Chen, how about this? The Mysterious Heavenly Dao Sect still has some Source Spirit Pearls and Source Spirit Stones. Take half of them." The Profound Master was silent for a moment before he spoke.
If anyone else were to hear this, they would definitely be scared out of their wits. The Profound Master had actually given half of the resources to Long Chen. This was simply too amazing.
Long Chen shook his head and said, "Master Xuan, I appreciate your kind intentions but our Mysterious Heavenly Dao Sect is not rich. Disciples doesn’t need these resources.
Furthermore, this disciple is an unknown person and cannot occupy too much of the resources of the Mysterious Heavenly Dao Sect.
Long Chen was very grateful for the Profound Master’s actions. Through their arrival and aggressive attitude, Long Chen could tell that the Mysterious Heavenly Dao Sect wasn’t as wealthy as he had imagined.
Right now, he was struggling to hold on. It was enough for him to just say a few words. These words contained an endless amount of trust and made people’s hearts warm up.
"You … You got it? "
Could it be that Long Chen himself knew that he was someone who could defy the heavens? Otherwise, he wouldn’t have said those last words.
"This disciple does not understand what has happened to me. Back in the Eastern Wastelands, Senior Ling Yunzi mentioned me in secret. At the time, I did not understand.
After that, I experienced more and more setbacks. No matter where I went, I was like a bane star. My beauty died, my brothers died, and even though I resisted with all my might, I still dragged a lot of people down with me.
Thus, I gradually understood that there was a merciless large hand in the darkness that was constantly playing with my fate.
The look in Senior Ling Yunzi’s eyes back then was exactly the same as yours. You know some things, but you don’t dare to say it.
I can roughly guess what is going on. Your most rational course of action is to look at me silently as a spectator, but if you help me too much, you will be implicated.
This disciple is very touched by your offer, but disciple is unable to accept it. Therefore, I still need to use my own ability to earn the resources in the Mysterious Heavenly Dao Sect, this way, I won’t implicate the Mysterious Heavenly Dao Sect too much. " Long Chen said.
It was obvious that he had taken the risk of bearing the consequences. This was what moved Long Chen the most, and it was also because of the actions of the Profound Master that Long Chen had decided to view the Mysterious Heavenly Dao Sect as his own home.
This was a very warm-hearted action, but regarding Long Chen’s own matters, he knew that he had relied on mountains to topple and dry jinx. He didn’t want to implicate the Mysterious Heavenly Dao Sect.
Seeing that Long Chen knew so much, the Profound Master could not help but sigh in his heart. Long Chen was still so young, and had always been bearing pressure that should not be felt at his age. His strength was forced out.
However, Profound Master did not dare to reveal any information regarding the divergents, not even to hint. The higher the cultivation, the more sensitive he would be to the Dao of the Heavens.
After Long Chen came out from the Profound Master’s residence, he appeared in the inner sect square. When Long Chen appeared, countless disciples had already surrounded him.
It turned out that during the time that Long Chen had been taken away by the Profound Master, all the warriors of the Dragon Blood Legion had arrived at the inner sect square and were waiting for Long Chen to appear.
As a result, the soldiers of the Dragon Blood Legion waited here. The other inner disciples also surrounded them. But not only that, even the outer disciples, as long as they didn’t need to be on duty, all ran inside.
Although the disciples of the Mysterious Heavenly Dao Sect were not qualified to observe the battle between them, the disciples of the outer sect could see the battle through the projection of the formation.
First, he lost all four matches, then he won all four matches. Finally, Han Zhenyu, this seventh grade Skywalker, appeared on the stage. Long Chen’s battle prowess was monstrous, and he defeated this terrifying opponent, causing all of the disciples to go crazy with excitement.
"Charge!"
As soon as Long Chen appeared, he was lifted up by the soldiers of the Dragonblood Legion and thrown into the air.
But after a few blows from the Dragonblood Warriors, they were all pushed far away by the other disciples. There were quite a few valiant female warriors who had fought their way out of the crowd and joined in as well.
“Hey, hey, who’s pulling my pants …”
Long Chen shouted from the air. Facing such a passionate disciples, Long Chen was too embarrassed to resist. His head spun and he was left dizzy for a long time before being protected by the Dragon Blood Legion.
As a result, just as they returned to the top of the mountain, the gate was squeezed open and countless disciples rushed up with wine jars in their arms.
In the end, a grand celebration was held on top of Sleeping Dragon Mountain for seven days and seven nights. Furthermore, during the celebration, all the food and drinks were provided by the Mysterious Heavenly Dao Sect free of charge.
The entire Mysterious Heavenly Dao Sect, whether it was the inner sect disciples, outer sect disciples, or even the elders, had entered into the carnival. This battle had completely caused the Mysterious Heavenly Dao Sect, which had been suppressed for countless years, to vent their resentment.
Chapter 1128 - The Birth of a Little fellow
However, not everyone was happy. Luo Fan, the Law Enforcement Hall’s Hall Master, was upset. He was sitting there with a gloomy face, and an old man was standing beside him. He was one of Luo Fan’s trusted aides, the Vice Hall Master of Law Enforcement Hall. “Pa!”
Luo Fan picked up his teacup, his hand actually trembling slightly. Suddenly, the teacup broke into pieces, and with a wave of his hand, Luo Fan’s hand was shattered into fine powder.
“Liu Cang must be secretly pleased with himself!” Luo Fan’s eyebrows were raised, and he had a hideous expression on his face as he gnashed his teeth.
"Perhaps, our Law Enforcement Hall already has an absolute advantage, but with the appearance of Long Chen, our many years of business has been completely destroyed."
Now, because of Long Chen’s appearance, the Elder Hall had become extremely arrogant. At this moment, Liu Cang would definitely be secretly laughing inside.
Hmph, the people that I hate the most are the elders’ Sect. That group of immoral fellows are all a bunch of hypocrites and useless.
It would be a waste to delay the development of the Dao Sect.
“Using our Law Enforcement Hall’s method, we will directly throw them into the battlefield to hone our skills. Survival of the fittest will not only allow us to discover talents faster, but we will also save countless resources. With the presence of the Mysterious Heavenly Dao Sect, the Mysterious Heavenly Dao Sect will lose to them sooner or later.” That Vice Hallmaster said helplessly.
"Master Xuan is so confusing. Every time I tell him that continuing this traditional method of nurturing disciples is the wrong choice, he would always smile without saying a word.
The traditions of the Mysterious Heavenly Dao Sect would not be easily changed unless I could give them an example that would move them.
However, he didn’t give me any privileges nor gave me a portion of disciples to nurture. Now that I have spent money to train my own disciples and posted it to them, I have gradually gained control over them.
However, Profound Master was still unwilling to give me a portion of the authority. Furthermore, he even took back a portion of the authority over the Abyss of Hell.
“In order to make the Mysterious Heavenly Dao Sect walk the path of glory, I have always been a kind-hearted person. Yet, this slut chose to take the lead. If I can’t use my power, I’ll f * * k him.”
As he finished speaking, the Law Enforcement Hall’s Hall Master became angrier and couldn’t help but start cursing.
"Now that that little bastard Long Chen has appeared, he has completely destroyed the many years that I have managed to accomplish. I truly wish I could pinch that little bastard to death." The head of the Enforcement Hall had a savage expression on his face. He looked like he wanted to bite Long Chen to death.
The Vice Palace Master of the Enforcement Hall didn’t utter a word as he watched Luo Fan’s angry scolding.
“Don’t you usually have a lot of schemes? Why are you mute now?” When Luo Fan saw that the Vice Hallmaster didn’t speak, he couldn’t help but vent his anger on him.
The Vice Hallmaster was already used to it, so he wasn’t angry. He looked at Luo Fan and said, “Now, there’s only one way to salvage the situation, you understand.”
I wanted to kill Long Chen a long time ago, but now that his reputation is growing, and the Profound Master is looking at him in a new light, it seems that he intends to take him in as a disciple. Luo Fan said angrily.
“Killing people doesn’t necessarily require killing them personally.” The Head Palace Master said meaningfully.
"What do you mean?" Luo Fan asked coldly.
That Vice Hallmaster suddenly stopped talking and his lips moved slightly. This was a kind of lip-talking. There was no sound, and no soul fluctuations. Even if someone else saw it, they would not be able to know what he was talking about.
“This won’t do!” Luo Fan’s expression changed drastically.
“Lord Hallmaster, Long Chen is a black sheep that has blocked the advance of the Mysterious Heavenly Dao Sect. Let’s see if you have the guts to do so.” The Vice Hall Master said.
“Absolutely not, I can’t be a sinner of the Mysterious Heavenly Dao Sect.” Luo Fan flatly refused.
"Whether or not you are a sinner is judged by history. Think about it, if you continue to be mediocre and if the Mysterious Heavenly Dao Sect were to be annihilated, what would happen to you?"
If you succeed, the cultivation system of the Mysterious Heavenly Dao Sect will be thoroughly reformed, and because of your decision, the Mysterious Heavenly Dao Sect will rise to glory. Even if you were to become an ancient member, who would dare to forget your achievements?
Even if they did not remember who the previous Profound Master was, they would definitely remember you. You should know better than anyone else the extent of the decline of the Mysterious Heavenly Dao Sect.
Right now, the Celestial Sect of Wonders needs someone who can turn the tide, so whether or not you want to do this will depend on you. " That Palace Master’s voice was extremely enticing.
Luo Fan thought about it for a long time before he shook his head and said, “This isn’t feasible. There’s no need to say anymore.”
"Lord Hallmaster …"
"Pa!"
That Vice Hallmaster wasn’t willing to give up, but the moment he opened his mouth, he was sent flying by Luo Fan’s slap.
“I’ve already f * cking told you. Don’t talk about this anymore. Are you f * cking deaf?” Luo Fan roared.
"Yes, Lord Hallmaster."
That Vice Hall Master crawled up from the ground and bowed as he spoke. However, Luo Fan didn’t notice that a trace of malice had appeared in the depths of that Vice Hall Master’s eyes.
… ….
After seven consecutive days of celebration, almost seven days and seven nights without sleep, Long Chen, as the main character, was bombarded by the inner disciples who took turns bombarding him with wine jars.
Others could rest for a bit and drink when they recovered their energy, because wine was free. It was a wine made from precious medicine, and it had many benefits to the body. Everyone drank it with all their might.
Drinking had also become a form of cultivation, and Long Chen had been continuously drunk by tens of thousands of disciples for seven days and seven nights without being able to leave his mouth.
This drunkenness lasted for three days and three nights. Long Chen drank too much, almost drinking the wine from a small lake into his stomach.
Long Chen drank the most, but Wildie ate the most. Wildie also ate the most for seven days and seven nights, and finally, Mysterious Heavenly Dao Sect sent news over. There was no food, there was no longer any food left.
When Long Chen woke up, he felt a splitting headache. This was a side effect of absorbing too much medicinal energy.
Only after coming out did he realize that the others weren’t much better off than he was. Many of the Dragonblood Warriors were still on the move.
Serves you right. I can’t afford your drinks? Was there a need to work so hard!
Long Chen didn’t feel the slightest bit of sympathy towards those Dragon Bloodline warriors who held their heads and floated around. Who told them to drink so much that they didn’t care for their lives?
"Long Chen, look!"
Long Chen came to the back of Sleeping Dragon Mountain and sat on a rock. He lazily basked in the sun, enjoying the beautiful scenery. Suddenly, Meng Qi and Tang Wan’er arrived beside Long Chen. Meng Qi waved her hand and a huge egg appeared in front of Long Chen.
"This little guy is about to be born!" Meng Qi said with an excited expression.
Meng Qi and Tang Wan’er didn’t like drinking alcohol, so they joined in on the fun on the first day, and spent the rest of their time doing their own business. At that time, Long Chen was in high spirits as he fought against the disciples, threatening to fight them one on one against a hundred thousand.
In the past few days, Meng Qi had collected a lot of treasures, which were all used to nourish the giant egg. For this giant egg, Meng Qi had spent a lot of money, using everything she had.
After being nourished by the egg for the past few days, on top of the egg, countless lines lit up and the life force in it became more and more violent.
This was a sign that the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow was about to appear. Meng Qi excitedly came to find Long Chen and ask him to witness the birth of the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow with her.
"Crack crack crack crack …"
On the huge eggshell, fine cracks started to appear on the areas where countless runes were extended. After that, a slightly tender mouth pecked open the eggshell. With a bang, the eggshell fell onto the rocks, and actually emitted the sound of metal colliding.
The egg shell shattered, revealing a young bird inside. That young bird suddenly jumped out from the egg shell. It let out a young bird’s cry, and then it pounced towards Meng Qi.
As soon as he jumped out of the eggshell, he fell head first onto the ground. His hairy wings flapped on the ground as he charged towards Meng Qi.
What shocked Long Chen the most was that when the wings of the newborn one hit the rock, it directly shattered the rock.
“I’m here, I’m here, be good!”
Meng Qi rushed to the side of the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow and comforted it while using her soul force to calm it down.
The Heaven-Devouring Sparrow was just born, but it was thirty feet tall and had runes on its wings. From the look of its flapping wings, it could probably kill a Class 6 Magical Beast with a flap of its wings.
Although the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow was comforted by Meng Qi, it still cried out in excitement. The sound became louder and louder. The sound was pleasant to hear, but it still shook people’s ears.
"Alright, alright, quickly finish your first meal." Meng Qi laughed as she patted the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow large wings and said.
Perhaps it was because it was hungry, the chasing Heaven-Devouring Sparrow stopped crying and started to eat the shattered eggshells.
As he was chasing the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow and devouring the eggshell, Long Chen discovered that the runes on its body slowly lit up and the mucus that was originally covering its body instantly evaporated.
Long Chen also discovered that after the Heavenly Devouring Sparrow chased him and devoured the egg, it was no longer as hard as a treasure.
"What a terrifying devouring force!" Long Chen was shocked. No wonder it was called the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow. It had such a devouring force when it was born.
When the entire eggshell was finished, the Heaven Swallowing Sparrow clearly became much more energetic. Its body also became clean. Although it still didn’t have any feathers, it still had a trace of a divine aura.
"Boom!"
The Heaven-Devouring Sparrow flapped its wings. It looked like it wanted to flap its wings and fly high into the sky, but it didn’t succeed. It left a huge crater in the ground and left Long Chen and the others’ faces covered with dirt.
“You’re still young, you can’t fly yet. Come, I’ll give you something nice to eat.” Meng Qi smiled and threw out a huge round ball from her space ring. It was as tall as a person.
The ball was round and round like a pill, but in reality, it was beast food. It was made according to the needs of the pet by the beastmaster.
In general, there were magical beast bone powder, crystal powder, and blood essence ointment. In addition to these, there were also some elemental powder that were essential to magical beasts, as well as some of their favorite spices.
Making beast food was a basic skill that all beast tamers needed to master, and the beast food Meng Qi prepared for the Heavenly Cloud Swallowing Sparrow used up all of its energy. It used the best materials, so the little guy ate excitedly.
“Damn, boss, did you get a bird’s nest?” Why is this hairless bird so ugly? " Guo Ran was attracted by the cry and cried out as he looked at the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow.
"Phew!"
Suddenly, Guo Ran’s body shrunk as he was sucked into the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow’s stomach.
Chapter 1129 - Maintenance Plans
Everyone jumped in fright. The Heaven-Devouring Sparrow opened its mouth, and a strange suction force sucked Guo Ran into its mouth. The bird’s speed was so fast that no one could react in time. .
Before Guo Ran could understand what was going on, his vision turned black and he was swallowed into his stomach.
"Little Cloud, hurry up and spit it out." Meng Qi exclaimed.
"Clang!"
The Heaven-Devouring Sparrow opened its beak and spat out a strange metal body. It was Guo Ran who had activated his armor to protect himself.
“Little Cloud, you can’t do this. You have to differentiate between friends and enemies.” Meng Qi scolded.
Long Chen and Tang Wan’er were dumbstruck. How could this little guy have such high intelligence?
Meng Qi was in the middle of scolding the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow, but after hearing its cries, she couldn’t help but say with a smile, “Little Cloud said that Guo Ran called it ugly and said that Guo Ran was a bad person.”
At this moment, Guo Ran’s face was slightly pale. Just now, when he was swallowed into the stomach of the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow, he felt a terrifying threat. It was as if a strange energy was about to strangle him.
Right now, there were a few thin lines on the surface of the armor. They were very shallow, like thin threads of silk that had been tied together. However, they were genuine scratches.
One had to know that Guo Ran’s armor was made from king-level materials. It was incredibly sturdy and hard to break, but it had been cut by some unknown force.
If this were a body made of flesh and blood, how would it be able to withstand such a terrifying power? Wouldn’t it be instantly minced into bloody foam? Thinking about it, Guo Ran’s expression changed. He had just returned from hell.
Chasing after the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow was another loud chirping. Meng Qi laughed, “Little Cloud said that it was only meant to scare you. He’s punishing you for saying that he looked bad and didn’t really want to eat you.”
Long Chen also saw the imprint on Guo Ran’s armor and couldn’t help but be shocked. This Heaven-Devouring Sparrow had just been born and already possessed such a terrifying ability. It was no wonder it was a legendary existence.
"Little Cloud, can you spoke to me so quickly?" Long Chen asked.
Meng Qi laughed, "Our souls are connected. I am very clear on what it wants to express. Although the translation is not 100% correct, there is basically no major deviation.
Little Cloud chased after the Guo Ran. As soon as he was born, he had an innate ability. Any flesh that was swallowed by it would be strangled by the energy in his body.
Moreover, its devouring ability was an inherited skill. With the power of space, large magical beasts would also be swallowed in one gulp.
An adult Heaven-Devouring Sparrow will open its mouth and swallow all living things within 5,000 kilometers, so it has the name of Heaven-Devouring. "
Meng Qi gently patted the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow head and explained to Long Chen and the others. Right now, the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow was enjoying the caress of Meng Qi with its eyes closed.
"Isn’t this a little too fierce? “Yes, he is already so terrifying when he was just born.” Guo Ran obviously didn’t know what the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow was, otherwise he wouldn’t have suffered such a loss.
The Heaven-Devouring Sparrow was only a young bird at this time. It did not even grow its feathers, making it look a bit ugly. It was different from a domesticated chicken, as it would only grow its feathers after growing for a long time.
Furthermore, the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow was an ancient beast with a terrifying inheritance. Its growth speed was not fast, and it required a huge amount of resources.
“Long Chen, I’m afraid that this little guy will eat us to death in the future.” Meng Qi said worriedly.
Chi Chi
At this moment, the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow chirped twice. Meng Qi felt a bit embarrassed. This Heaven-Devouring Sparrow’s intelligence was too high. It understood everything she said, so it told Meng Qi that it could eat less.
This caused Meng Qi’s heart to feel warm and ashamed. Back then, the powerful Class 10 Magical Beast had chased after the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow and gave her an egg, but it had all been for naught.
When chasing the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow, a large amount of its energy was consumed. Usually, the mother looked after the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow to feed it with her blood essence.
The Tenth Order Heaven-Devouring Sparrow was injured, and its blood essence was insufficient to feed the two children. It had no choice but to give up on one of them.
After Meng Qi had calmed down, she finally realized the severity of the problem. The little fellow had just been born, and now it was in a state of extreme hunger.
This was most likely because the Tenth Order Heaven Swallowing Sparrow had decided to give up on it. The late stage did not inject much blood essence into it, resulting in it lacking natural resources. As a result, its body became extremely weak right after it was born.
This was not true hunger, but an expression of extreme lack of energy. It needed more energy to replenish its innate deficiency.
Now that the little guy was hungry, Meng Qi could even feel its sadness. However, she didn’t expect the little guy to have such a huge appetite. The amount of beast food she prepared was simply insufficient.
Meng Qi took out a few more pieces of animal food. These were originally meant to last for the next ten days, but she couldn’t bear to let this little guy starve.
Meng Qi continued to look at the beast food but didn’t eat it. She felt ashamed. As a Beast Master, she couldn’t even afford to keep a pet.
“Eat without worry. I will take care of everything. I will definitely not let you starve.” Long Chen comforted as he looked at Little Sparrow. If he couldn’t even raise a little kid, then he was still a man.
Chi Chi
Unexpectedly, the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow ran in front of Long Chen and gently rubbed its head against him. It looked extremely happy.
“Little Sparrow said it remembers your breath and said you were a good person. Guo Ran is too bad, don’t be with him.” Meng Qi couldn’t help but laugh.
Guo Ran rolled his eyes. Didn’t I just praise you?
Long Chen was surprised. An ancient mutated beast really couldn’t be measured with common sense. It actually remembered Long Chen’s aura. In other words, it had a strange memory inside the egg shell.
After hearing Long Chen’s words, Little Sparrow swallowed the prepared Heaven-Devouring Sparrow food. However, Little Sparrow wasn’t that passionate towards Tang Wan’Er. It was obvious that she was an outsider to him.
Guo Ran also wanted to touch it and repair the awkward relationship with it. In the end, when Heaven-Devouring Sparrow opened his big mouth, he was so scared that he immediately ran away and disappeared like a wisp of smoke. Meng Qi and Tang Wan’er were laughing so hard that they couldn’t even straighten up their backs.
“If the little fellow needs anything in the future, just use your points to exchange. Money isn’t a problem. The most important thing is to let the little fellow grow healthy. Only then will it be worthy of senior’s entrustment.” Long Chen was afraid that Meng Qi would feel sorry for the money, so he couldn’t help but ask.
“It’s just that Little Sparrow’s body is severely lacking, and there are too many areas that are lacking in the first place. He needs to be treated properly in order for him to grow in the future.” Meng Qi said.
"How many resources do you need in the early stages?" Long Chen asked.
Meng Qi hesitated for a moment, then gently bit her lips and said, "I estimate that with all these top grade resources, I would need around five billion points."
Although they were prepared, Long Chen and Tang Wan’er were still frightened. This was too terrifying.
"Wan-Er, how many points do we have left?" Long Chen asked.
“A few days ago Sister Qingyu said that there are still 4.8 billion points, because most of them have been distributed. If there isn’t enough, we can let everyone gather some.” Tang Wan’er said.
Although he had received 10 billion points in one go last time, in order to arm the Dragon Blood Legion, he had bought the best weapons and supplies.
10 billion points might sound terrifying, but if it was given to someone else, it wouldn’t even reach a million points, and they wouldn’t even be able to exchange for a King Armament.
Furthermore, Guo Ran was also a rich person. Although the Casting ingredients were all sent by Zheng Wenlong, he also needed to add various supplementary materials and inscription liquid. This was also a huge expense.
"Long Chen, will this affect the development of the entire Dragonblood Legion?" She felt a little uneasy in her heart.
"You silly wife, Little Sparrow is one of our companions, a member of our Dragonblood Legion. Its strength is the strength of the entire Dragonblood Legion.
Whether it’s because of our feelings for Xiao Yun or for the future of the Dragonblood Legion, we must let her grow healthy.
“Don’t worry, even though we’re a bit nervous, just a little bit of planning won’t affect our development.” Long Chen said with a smile.
Being called a silly wife by Long Chen, Meng Qi’s pretty face was completely red. She glared at Long Chen. However, this title made her feel a trace of sweetness in her heart.
"What planning method?" Meng Qi asked.
“Right now, every disciple of the Dragon Blood Legion has a lot of points. They can support it for a period of time, but they won’t need to give them additional points for a short period of time.”
Although the points in our hands right now are a little lacking, but if you separate your hard and flexible consumption, then we can plan it out.
The hard consumption I’m referring to is some things that must be exchanged for points with the sect. If you can’t get this by other means, then you must pay for this part of the money.
There is still a portion, such as some precious medicines, but I don’t need to worry about them. I can also provide some demon beast meat, crystal cores, bone powder and other materials.
Exchanging for items in the Mysterious Heavenly Dao Sect is clearly not worth it. We can issue missions and the items that we exchange for are at least half the price compared to directly exchanging for items with the Mysterious Heavenly Dao Sect.
Our Dragon Blood Legion’s own soldiers can also go out occasionally to train and earn some resources.
“In addition, I will continue to sell pills in the outer sect and I will also be able to earn a certain amount of points. Therefore, the things that you’re worrying about right now are all trivial matters that you can easily settle.” Long Chen said in a very relaxed manner.
“Long Chen, you’re awesome!”
Meng Qi and Tang Wan’er couldn’t help but feel both surprised and happy. They also felt admiration for Long Chen. Everything had become so simple in Long Chen’s hands.
Excited, the two of them hugged Long Chen, one on each side, and a kiss was imprinted on Long Chen’s face. As Long Chen was reveling in this moment, a huge mouth came over.
“Hey, hey, you don’t have to do that. Let me kiss you instead.”
Long Chen hugged and kissed it. He was afraid that if he went after the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow, it would accidentally swallow him up.
Tang Wan’er and Meng Qi couldn’t help but laugh like silver bells. Long Chen had Meng Qi and Tang Wan’er play with him while he walked towards the distant boulder with a depressed look on his face.
Chapter 1130 - The Concealed Promotion
“Don’t be depressed, who told you to grow up and not be able to speak.” . Long Chen patted Guo Ran’s shoulder as he laughed.
“Boss, is it because I can’t speak properly that I’m not liked by beauties?” Guo Ran gloomily replied.
"Actually, women are always a bit stingy. This is due to their personality. It is indeed easy to unknowingly anger a woman with your mouth.
Take the matter just now for example, this little fellow was Meng Qi’s pet. If you opened your mouth and said that this little guy was ugly, wouldn’t that be slapping Meng Qi in the face?
Meng Qi had a calm personality and didn’t like arguing with others. If it was Wan’er instead of her, she would have sent a kick flying you a thousand miles away.
“Take yourself for example. The reason why I usually scold you and beat you is because I’m your boss. However, if an outsider insults you in front of me, do you think I’ll just slap him to death?” Long Chen said seriously.
“Boss, it seems like that’s the case. My mouth really doesn’t know how to speak. I’ll definitely change it.” Guo Ran promised solemnly.
Seeing Long Chen’s odd expression, Guo Ran couldn’t help but ask, "Boss, what do you mean by that look? Do you doubt my words? "
Long Chen shook his head like a rattle drum. "We are brothers. I have no doubts about your words …"
Guo Ran was pleased, “Haha, that’s boss …”
"… but I don’t believe it at all. "
Guo Ran: "…"
Long Chen patted Guo Ran’s shoulder and said, "There isn’t a single person in this world who is perfect. Sometimes, a person’s shortcomings are better than another’s, reflecting a person’s personality.
You are you, why change? Are you still Guo Ran after the change? If you envy me and imitate me, do you want to be my shadow for the rest of my life?
Then what’s the point of you, Guo Ran, living? Listen up right now. At the very least, your act of acting cool is extremely impressive. "
“Boss, I’m a bit confused. Can I interpret your words as you praising me?” Guo Ran probed.
“Of course I’m praising you. Don’t you feel that all of your glory, from an unknown brat to today, are all your decisions and hard work?” Long Chen said.
"Boss, actually, I feel that all of my achievements today were due to you." Guo Ran said, a little ashamed.
"You are wrong. There is no one in this world who can truly help you. The only person who can help you is yourself."
Among all the people around me, your strength is the weakest and your talent is the worst. "Cough, cough."
Long Chen coughed dryly and said, "Your starting point is lower than anyone else, but you took a different path. It definitely isn’t a coincidence that you have come here today.
Therefore, you don’t need to feel inferior at all.
In actuality, Long Chen understood Guo Ran the best. This kid liked to posture, but a large part of the reason was because of the inferiority complex in the depths of his heart.
He needed to prove himself. He wanted everyone to acknowledge him. He liked the feeling of being the center of attention, the feeling of being worshipped and revered.
However, inferiority complex was also a type of mental demon. If it was not erased, there would be no problems at the moment. However, there might be problems in the future. Therefore, Long Chen gave him some advice today.
“Boss, I understand. I want to discard my inferiority complex and return to my true self. I don’t need to imitate anyone.” Guo Ran nodded and took a deep breath.
“Yes, that’s it.” Long Chen praised.
"I am Guo Ran, I am who I am. From today onwards, I will face every day with confidence and act tough. I will speak to the entire world: act tough — I am serious." Guo Ran shouted in high spirits.
“F * ck your grandpa, there’s no saving you.” Long Chen flew into a rage and slapped the back of Guo Ran’s head, knocking him off the rock.
Guo Ran looked wronged as he said, “Boss, aren’t you the one who taught me to be confident, wanting to return to being myself? Why did you hit me?”
Long Chen let out a long breath to calm himself down. A confident person didn’t even need to pretend to be cool. Guo Ran was actually unable to understand what he meant, making Long Chen’s stomach ache in anger.
“Let me ask you, how is the armor?” Long Chen changed the topic. If this topic continued, Long Chen was afraid that he wouldn’t be able to control himself and would slap him again.
"Everyone has returned to work." Guo Ran answered.
"Why?" Long Chen was stunned.
"After Casting thousands of pieces of armor, I discovered that there were many flaws in the original Casting technique. The runes weren’t compact enough, and there wasn’t any good resonance between them, seriously affecting the armor’s defensive capabilities.
In addition, I had a sudden thought recently that there was a rune that could be assembled in the secret record of ghost arts, so I decided to use it on my armor.
Moreover, after hundreds of experiments, I had already achieved a great breakthrough, and his technique was becoming more and more mature.
Therefore, I had to redo the armor that I had already completed. However, I would only be able to modify the parts of the rune. It would be relatively easier and wouldn’t take too long.
After I finish my work, the defensive power of my armor will increase greatly, and it will be worth the time I spend. " Guo Ran explained.
Long Chen didn’t know a thing about crafting, but Long Chen trusted Guo Ran. Since he’d chosen to go back to work, there was definitely a need to go back to work.
“Mm. Try your best to make the best use of your time. You’ve already seen the idiots from the Heaven Supressing Sect. The big tree is not that strong. We can’t tie our lives to it.”
As cultivators, we have to constantly create our trump cards. These are all means to protect our lives in the future. " Long Chen said.
“Alright, then it’s nothing. Boss, I’m going into closed door training. Originally, I came out this time to tell you that I want to collect more points. But this time, is it …” He knew that the current score for the Dragon Blood Legion was a bit tight.
"How much do you need?" Long Chen asked.
“I’ve done the budget, if everything was completed, I’d need 1 billion points.” Guo Ran pondered for a moment.
“Hm, no problem. I’ll first go to Sister Qingyu to collect the 500 million. I’ll come back to collect it after I’m done.” Long Chen said.
“Boss, in fact, with your contributions to the Mysterious Heavenly Dao Sect …” Guo Ran hesitated for a moment before he finally couldn’t resist speaking up.
"Go on, there are some things that are not as simple as you think." Long Chen sighed.
In reality, there was also a problem with the Mysterious Heavenly Dao Sect’s finances. Although the Profound Master had not revealed it, Long Chen could guess that the current Mysterious Heavenly Dao Sect was not easy to deal with.
It had to be said that the Profound Master was a very courageous person. Long Chen trusted him wholeheartedly with the "half of the resources" from that day.
I Long Chen am a very courageous person, and my principles are very simple. Anyone who treats me well, I will repay them tenfold.
The Profound Master had risked the danger of being implicated by the Heavenly Dao to help Long Chen. Although Long Chen had refused, Long Chen had remembered this favor.
In Long Chen’s eyes, any amount of resources could be slowly accumulated or obtained through other means. However, trust was too rare.
Guo Ran’s meaning was, Long Chen was the number one genius of the Mysterious Heavenly Dao Sect, why did he still earn enough points to nurture his own Dragon Blood Warriors? He felt that the Mysterious Heavenly Dao Sect was too stingy.
After sending Guo Ran away, Long Chen called Tang Wan’er, Gu Yang, Li Qi, and Song Mingyuan over and gave them the four rank 6 Heavenly Dao Fruits.
This was a gift from Heaven Supressing Sect that they had come all the way here to give to the four of them. Since there were only four of them, Guo Ran could not give them to them now.
Although doing so might be too brazen, Long Chen didn’t care that much. If he kept it hidden, it would delay the development of the Dragon Blood Legion. Hesitation wasn’t Long Chen’s style.
It was a pity that he didn’t kill Han Zhenyu in the end. Otherwise, he would have had a Grade 7 Heavenly Dao Fruit. This caused Long Chen to feel some regret.
However, Long Chen was very satisfied with the fact that the Heavenly Tree was too heaven-defying. Regardless of whether the opponent was a sixth grade postcelestial or a sixth grade precelestial, he would still become a sixth grade postcelestial.
It was precisely because of the Heavenly Dao Tree’s heaven defying abilities that Long Chen rejected the Profound Lord’s fate star bead. He had greater ambitions; he wanted to nurture a terrifying army of Dragon Blood Legion that would sweep through the world.
After distributing the Heavenly Dao Fruits, Long Chen gathered all the warriors of the Dragon Blood Legion and started distributing spirit essence stones for everyone to cultivate in seclusion. At the same time, Long Chen took out a treasure.
As for this treasure … Long Chen had never used it. It was the eternal lamp.
According to the Eastern Desolate Bell, this was a precious treasure that could assist in cultivation. The wick of this ancient lamp was made from the refined life of a supreme expert.
It contained his blessings. The eternal light was not a killing tool, but a treasure that aided in cultivation.
When cultivators reach the Sea Opening Realm, they can use it to assist their cultivation. This will allow them to have a power that is ten times stronger than other cultivators.
Even in ancient times, this ancient lamp was a very rare treasure and was the foundation of a sect.
When he was at the Sea Opening Realm, Long Chen hadn’t used it. Instead, he had used the Eastern Wasteland Bell to give it countless resources to nurture it and restore its vitality.
This was because on the Road of Myriad Gods, it had been severely eroded after killing all living things, so it had to be nurtured and restored.
As for the Sea Cleaving Realm, all it did was increase the speed of its cultivation. Its true purpose was to reach the Foundation Establishment stage.
With its assistance, not only could one’s cultivation speed increase, one’s absorption of Heavenly Energy would be much more thorough. Furthermore, one didn’t need the assistance of pills to assimilate the Heavenly Energy at all.
Most importantly, with the blessings of the ancient lamp, the immortal foundation of a human was unbreakable. This was its most powerful aspect.
Long Chen gathered all the disciples, but he also left a few dozen people behind to stand guard. This was related to Long Chen’s secret, so they absolutely could not be spied on.
When the ancient lamp was ignited, a gentle light shone on everyone. All of the disciples felt as if their entire body had become transparent, becoming one with the world and becoming one with it.
Everyone felt as if they were a drop of water that had fused into the sea. It was as if they were blessed by the entire world. Everyone couldn’t help but be ecstatic. They all took out spirit essence stones and began to absorb them.
He could feel an endless amount of energy entering his body from the spirit essence stones. With the blessing of the ancient lamp, it rushed straight into their primordial symbols.
Chapter 1131 - Terror Consumption
Under the illumination of the eternal lamp, faint ripples enveloped all the Dragon Bloodline Warriors. Everyone immediately entered a strange state. This blessing caused Long Chen to be overjoyed. .
Although the blessings of the ancient lamp were not as perverse as that of the Mysterious Heavenly Dao Tower, this sort of energy was endless, as vast as the sea. It was not in vain that he had spent so much time nurturing it.
Furthermore, the Eternal Light Lamp’s energy was extremely lasting. As long as it was not contaminated by the death energy of the living, it could grow bright for all eternity. Therefore, it was known as the Eternal Light Lamp.
Long Chen also took out a spirit essence stone and began to absorb the spirit energy inside it. It usually took about three days for others to absorb one spirit essence stone, but with the blessings of the Eternal Light Lamp, it would only take around six hours.
In the space of a few breaths, Long Chen could absorb all the power contained in a spirit essence stone.
As the spirit energy within the spirit essence stone was absorbed, it slowly entered his body and was absorbed by the 108 runes. Long Chen could not help but want to cry.
It was like a hundred and eight thousand hungry wolves that were going to share a small piece of meat. It felt like a hungry wolf was not going to be divided into any meat at all and was howling in hunger.
At this moment, as the other Dragon Blood Warriors absorbed the source energy, Long Chen could clearly feel the primordial runes within their bodies growing.
Others only had one primordial rune, but Long Chen had 108. Although Long Chen’s strength alone wasn’t comparable to their primordial symbols, the energy of his ten primordial symbols was absolutely comparable to theirs.
Even if ten of them could be compared to one, it would still be ten thousand times more consumed. This caused Long Chen to feel a great sense of crisis. In the cultivation world, the most important thing wasn’t how terrifying one’s enemy was, but how little money one had.
Long Chen observed the progress of the group and found that some of the Dragon Blood Warriors, after absorbing three of them, had already condensed a second primitive rune. An initial estimate was that nine of the original runes had been condensed and combined to form the Immortal Foundation.
According to normal calculations, the second heaven required twice as many runes as the first heaven, which meant a hundred runes, two hundred of the third heaven, and two hundred of the fourth heaven … Then the ninth heaven would mean that each disciple would need a hundred thousand spirit essence stones.
100,000 spirit essence stones was a conservative estimate. This figure was very likely to be unstoppable and should be a bit more, but an estimate of 110,000 was enough.
Currently, there were a total of 13,500 people in the Dragon Blood Legion. The spirit essence stones in Long Chen’s possession weren’t enough to help the army reach the peak of the Casting Stage.
What made Long Chen most discouraged was that after he had absorbed more than three hundred spirit essence stones, his primordial symbols didn’t even have the slightest movement.
After about a thousand of them were absorbed, the first rune was slowly separated into a prototype that was almost invisible to the naked eye.
Long Chen hardened his heart and after a day and a night, after Long Chen absorbed thirty-six thousand spirit essence stones, the second primordial rune was finally condensed.
When the second primitive rune was formed, Long Chen discovered that the two runes were like a baby, standing side by side. In reality, they were still one whole.
When the second primordial rune was formed, Long Chen could clearly feel that his 108,000 acupoints had expanded a bit. Even the nourished Heaven Opening Rune in his acupoints had grown larger, as if the limit of its growth had also increased.
“Could it be that the Heavenly Talisman will change according to the size of the acupoints?” Wouldn’t that mean that the greater the acupoint, the stronger the Heaven Opening Talisman, the more powerful the battle achievements would be? " Long Chen was shocked.
The chakram of the Heaven Opening Rune was like a sphere. The center of the sphere was where the Heaven Opening Charm was originally located.
However, after Long Chen entered the Casting platform, he condensed the primitive symbols. As a result, the Heaven Opening Talisman was squeezed underneath him. The incantation seemed to fear the primitive characters and was willing to stay at the bottom of the primitive symbols, as if it was submitting itself to him.
As for Long Chen’s primordial symbols, they completely ignored the Heaven Opening Talisman and continued to expand. With the birth of the second primordial talisman, the space within his meridians expanded.
The Splitting Heaven Talisman had actually risen in power along with the water, but after it had become stronger, it remained in its original position. It didn’t dare to go out of its way and obediently stayed at the bottom of the original talisman.
"The power will become stronger once again. The power of the four seas will circulate more smoothly. With the circulation of my Qi, the guiding time for my magic will be shorter." Long Chen took a deep breath. With the formation of the second rune, he was able to see the terrifying power of these 108,000 ancient runes.
However, this consumption was simply too terrifying. His own consumption alone was comparable to the consumption rate of the entire Dragonblood Legion.
When Long Chen saw that the other Dragonblood Warriors had already condensed their third rune, Long Chen was shocked. He decided to go into seclusion by himself.
Because he found out that absorbing spirit essence stones would not help much with the Eternal Light Lamp. Circulating the Nine Star Tyrant Body Technique, the spirit essence stones would be sucked dry in an instant.
Long Chen returned to his secret chamber and first concocted a large quantity of medicinal pills and liquids for Wang Mang and the others to sell outside the sect.
These were all medicine that had been used up a lot, and they were also cheap. The outer sect disciples liked them very much.
As for Long Chen himself, he had the Chaos Dimension, so he made as much money as he could without any cost. He proposed several times that many people would buy him at a 20% discount to the Ten Thousand Pills Hall, and the profit would be several times higher.
Qian Duoduo had always thought that Long Chen had secretly bought all of his precious medicines from the outside world. He felt that the profits were too small. Although he had sold a lot, the amount he had to earn was very large.
However, Long Chen refused. Business was like this. It was fine if you lowered the price, but once you raise the price, no matter the reason, some people would be unhappy.
That would affect everyone’s mood in buying the pill. In any case, Long Chen’s pills were all self-made and sold. As long as they were sold, it would be fine.
At the same time, Meng Qi needed to give the Heavenly Cloud Swallowing Sparrow food. Long Chen had prepared enough precious medicine for her.
Meng Qi had already gone to the outer sect to post some missions and buy large amounts of resources. This way, she could save a portion of her expenses while also allowing the outer sect disciples to gain benefits, killing two birds with one stone.
As for the remaining expenses, he could only spend points to buy them. Although the Ten Thousand Pills Hall and Long Chen were enemies, apart from doing some small things, they didn’t dare to make things difficult for Meng Qi. Most things could be bought.
Meng Qi was playing with the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow every day. The magical beast had just been born, so they needed to be together every day. This way, they could increase their trust and feelings for each other and improve their teamwork in the future.
At the same time, Meng Qi had to constantly observe the situation of the Heavenly Cloud Swallowing Sparrow. She felt that if any aspects of its body were not balanced, she would make it special beast food to feed it. After all, chasing the Heavenly Cloud Swallowing Sparrow was naturally lacking and needed nourishment, especially during its infancy.
After everything had been arranged, Long Chen began his closed door cultivation. He began the third rune, and when the third rune appeared, Long Chen’s face darkened.
The third primordial rune consumed 40,000 spirit essence stones and Long Chen was about to go crazy. When he condensed the nine primordial runes, he used up the same amount. Only when he condensed the base did he need to use up a large amount of his primordial spirit energy.
And Long Chen’s third spirit stone consumed 4,000 more spirit essence stones than the second. And when he condensed the fourth spirit stone, he consumed 45,000 more spirit essence stones. Long Chen immediately went crazy.
This was simply a bottomless pit! To be able to condense primitive symbols, the consumption rate was greater and greater each time.
Three days later, Long Chen’s face was as black as the bottom of a pot, because after he condensed the nine primitive runes, he then condensed the tenth one.
Of the first nine primordial symbols, Long Chen had spent a total of 630,000 spirit essence stones, while the tenth one had consumed 1.2 million spirit essence stones in an instant.
Five days later, Long Chen’s eleventh primitive rune was completed. It had cost him two million four hundred thousand spirit stones.
Ten days later, the twelfth primitive rune was made. It cost Long Chen four million eight hundred thousand spirit stones.
Twenty days later, Long Chen’s thirteenth rune was completed. Nine million six hundred thousand spirit essence stones were destroyed.
“There’s no way we can pass our days!” Long Chen let out a crazed roar. He felt as if he was going to go crazy.
Right now, he had yet to condense the immortal foundation base. Merely condensing 13 primordial symbols alone would consume more than 18 million spirit essence stones. It was truly an impossible life for him.
For a normal cultivator, starting from the formation of the first primordial rune to breaking through to the Mysterious Jade Pellet, which was also the King’s Realm, the amount of spirit essence stones consumed would not exceed one hundred thousand.
On the other hand, Long Chen had spent eighteen million spirit stones just to condense talismans. Anyone would have gone crazy if they were in his place.
“Your father doesn’t believe it, is this special? Does your fathere have money in his pocket?” Long Chen was infuriated. This was too much of a scam.
"Alright, I will follow you. If you have the guts, then use up all of my spirit essence stones."
Long Chen gritted his teeth and continued to absorb spirit essence stones. Fortunately, after the 13 ancient symbols appeared, they stopped condensing and started to slowly gather together.
As the primordial spirit power continued to be poured into and absorbed by the 13 symbols, they began to slowly merge together like 13 triplets.
However, this process was extremely slow. During the process of fusing, the 13 ancient runes had actually formed a round base.
This pedestal was the foundation of the celestial altar. In the center of the pedestal was a strange design. It was a flower with thirteen petals.
The moment the foundation was formed, an explosive sound came from Long Chen’s body. A terrifying pressure, completely out of Long Chen’s control, shot up into the sky.
"Boom!"
A pillar of light broke through the roof and rushed into the clouds, shattering the clouds in the sky. The quiet room where Long Chen was in also collapsed with a "hualala" sound, turning into dust. The entire Wolong Mountain trembled.
Chapter 1132 - Casting the 1st Heavenly Layer
The commotion coming from Long Chen’s side immediately attracted some of the Dragonblood Warriors over. Long Chen waved his hand and told them that everything was fine, and that they should go do what they needed to do. “What a powerful energy!”
Long Chen opened his eyes and looked at the immortal forge in his 108 acupoints. The base didn’t move, but at the center of the forge, the mysterious pattern was already slowly moving.
As the thirteen petals spun, the dao flowed, as if the thirteen petals revolved. They themselves were a type of law, carrying with them endless mysteries.
As the petals spun, an endless amount of energy was extracted from the heavens and the earth. It slowly poured into the immortal foundation as it nourished the immortal foundation.
"I can absorb the spirit energy of the heaven and earth myself, and the efficiency and speed are almost the same as the power of the Dragon Blood Warriors when they refine spirit essence stones."
Long Chen was astonished. One must know that the power of a Source Spirit Stone was equivalent to the power of a disciple’s cultivation for several months to a year. This was also the reason why Source Spirit Stones were so precious.
Long Chen hadn’t done anything yet, but he could draw out the spirit energy of heaven and earth on his own, and at an astonishing speed at that.
"Buzz!"
With a thought from Long Chen, the patterns on the immortal foundation base started to circulate. The sky and earth suddenly trembled, and the space within a hundred miles’ radius started to fluctuate rapidly. Boundless natural energy was gushing towards Long Chen.
"My speed increased by more than ten times, what a pity … It’s still just a drop in the bucket. " Long Chen felt it for a moment, then shook his head.
To others, this sort of cultivation speed was enough to scare them to death. However, to Long Chen’s perverted needs, it was far from enough.
Even if he was to fully activate his cultivation mode, it wouldn’t make much of a difference. It would take him several months to condense new symbols.
Thirteen runes might take years, or even dozens of years. Therefore, this kind of cultivation method was completely meaningless to Long Chen.
The joke of advancing to the first level in ten years was too big. Long Chen had finally advanced to the first level of Refinement.
But Long Chen couldn’t bear the cost this time. Condensing 13 primitive runes cost 18 million spirit essence stones, and then he had to spend another 22 million spirit essence stones to reach the foundation. He had to spend a total of 40 million spirit essence stones.
Long Chen suspected that the Immortal Foundation Stage of the Nine Star Tyrant Body Technique shouldn’t be promoted by spirit essence stones. Just the first layer already cost 40 million spirit stones, so according to the grade of the Thirteenth Heavenly Layer of the Nine Star Tyrant Body Technique, especially beyond the Tenth Heavenly Layer, the difficulty would be doubled.
Long Chen even suspected that all the spirit essence stones in the entire Eastern Wasteland had been given to him. He wasn’t sure if it was enough for him to advance to a Xuan Core.
In any case, Long Chen knew that the amount of spirit essence stones and spirit pearls that the Celestial Sect of Wonders had stored for so many years was not as much as his, so how could Long Chen be willing to take half of it?
“No, there must be some other method. Otherwise, a mere Casting Stage cultivator would be able to exhaust me to death. Could it be that the problem lies with the fifth star?” Long Chen couldn’t help but ponder. But the 5th star pill formula still hadn’t appeared. Long Chen felt a bit helpless.
However, there was no use in being anxious. Long Chen still had some days to live, but Long Chen didn’t plan on using spirit essence stones for now. He couldn’t just use his strength to delay the Dragon Blood Legion.
"Phew!"
Long Chen threw out a punch, causing the air to tremble. His strength had increased tremendously, and his speed was even faster. The spirit energy in his body circulated without any signs of sluggishness.
"Thunder Finger!"
Long Chen flicked his finger and an arrow made of lightning pierced through the air with a sharp whistling sound.
“His speed is even faster. I can almost tell that this is the real Instant Cast.” A smile appeared on Long Chen’s face.
"Meteor Arrows Rain!"
"Fire Prison!"
"Raging Flames Swallowing the Heavens!"
The Long Chen continued to form seals, and the 108 acupoints in his body were filled up. The symbols on the base rotated, forming an invisible channel that linked all the symbols.
The moment the Long Chen was formed, the points that originally needed to be slowly cleared to activate were now pierced through in an instant. It didn’t take much time to activate directly.
"Good heavens! These forty million spirit stones are not spent in vain!"
Long Chen was both surprised and happy. After his tests, he realized that these arts usually required half a breath of time to be activated. Now, however, they could be cast instantly.
Long Chen was pleasantly surprised by this. The reason why he lost wasn’t because his moves were powerful enough, but rather because he was able to instantly cast them without the opponent having the time to dodge or crack his moves.
The more powerful the move, the longer the lead time would be. One would either have to open up some distance, or use a large amount of space in front of them to create an opportunity for powerful spells.
In reality, big techniques weren’t that practical. No matter how powerful a move was, if the other party knew about it and didn’t give you a chance to display it, you would be toyed with to death by other people using small techniques.
Although big moves were powerful and could instantly kill a whole bunch of them, the probability of them being able to completely unleash them was very low. Unless the opponent had a big move that they were confident of fighting with, they would destroy it with all their might, making it impossible for them to unleash it.
"Meteorite!"
Long Chen gave a low shout and a round ball about a foot in diameter suddenly appeared in his hand. Once the round ball appeared, a large area of space immediately collapsed.
Long Chen hastily dispersed the technique. He couldn’t help but be shocked. Damn, even the Meteor Technique has greatly shortened the guiding time.
When he had first learned it, it took him three breaths of time to lead the way. Afterwards, Long Chen compressed it to one breath of time. Now, it only needed a third of a breath of time to be summoned.
Not only did the guidance speed increase, but it was just a test just now. In the end, the power was much greater than when he was fighting against Han True Feather, and it was far from reaching the limit of Long Chen’s strength.
In the past, the might of Meteorite was too great, and if one used all of his strength, the physical body would not be able to withstand it. Now that he had entered the first layer of Refinement, the foundation would be formed and the primitive runes would be mutated, and his 108,000 acupoints would become even more powerful.
“Well, I admit it, I’m not so petty now.” Long Chen felt a bit embarrassed and couldn’t help but laugh.
"Chirp!"
As Long Chen was sighing with emotion, a figure suddenly charged toward him. Long Chen was shocked. It turned out that this figure was the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow.
At the moment, the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow was ten feet long, and its entire body was covered with white fur. It flew towards Long Chen at an extremely fast speed, and in the blink of an eye, it was right in front of him.
“Wow, Little Yun, you’re really fast!” Long Chen hadn’t thought that Little Yun would be so kind and intimate to him.
“Of course it’s going to be fast. I gave him the best food. I told him that you worked hard to make this delicious food, so he is very grateful to you.” Meng Qi came from afar and could not help but laugh.
“Hahaha, as a man, it’s only right for us to earn money to support our families. How is Little Yun’s body right now?” Long Chen gently caressed Little Yun’s large head. Little Yun was sprawled on the ground, enjoying the caress of Long Chen.
"Everything is going well. Originally, Little Yun would have grown even faster.
After all, the Innate Ability have slowed down his growth and allowed me more time to observe it, so that I wouldn’t be caught unprepared when facing an unknown problem. " Meng Qi said.
"En, be careful. There is nothing wrong with that. Make sure everything is stable." Long Chen agreed. There was no need to be in such a hurry to pursue the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow.
Chirp chirp …. The Heaven-Devouring Sparrow cried a few times.
Long Chen was startled, "What meat …" What capture? "
His soul force was strong. He could hear the meaning of the Heaven-Devouring Cloud Sparrow’s cry, but he didn’t know what it meant.
Meng Qi couldn’t help but find it funny, “The little guy is complaining. He said that I won’t take him out to hunt, but he wants to eat fresh meat. To put it bluntly, it means he’s hungry!”
Meng Qi said to the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow, “You have no conscience. Right now, it is not good for your body to directly devour flesh and blood. Blood will make your body grow stronger. Your foundation is not strong enough, you can’t grow it too quickly.”
The Heaven-Devouring Sparrow was an immortal beast. It chased after the clouds and swallowed the earth. What was most terrifying was its devouring ability. This was its innate ability. It needed the power of flesh and blood to grow.
“I reckon that he and Wildie can form a team in the future. Both of them are gluttons.” Long Chen couldn’t help but laugh.
Just a few days ago, he had told Long Chen that he didn’t have much stock left and was going out to find some snacks to eat.
“That’s right, Meng Qi, you can go to the outer sect and issue another mission to buy some Class 6 Magical Beasts and give them to Xiao Yun.”
“The power of flesh of magical beasts below the sixth step is extremely thin. Even if Xiao Yun ate it, it wouldn’t increase much and he would still be able to satisfy his craving. Otherwise, he would be throwing up from eating medicinal pills every day.” Long Chen said.
Chirp chirp ….
Meng Qi was speechless. However, thinking about it, it made sense. In the Central Plains, there were a lot of high level magical beasts. It was likely that one would have to travel a long way to find a magical beast below the sixth step.
However, outer sect disciples would often go out to complete missions, so they should be quite familiar with this area.
“Long Chen, how come you’ve only advanced to the first level?” Meng Qi suddenly looked at Long Chen and couldn’t help but exclaim.
Long Chen was stunned and could not help but be ashamed to death. Meng Qi was already at the third layer of the forge, which filled Long Chen’s heart with helplessness and pain.
“Kids don’t have mothers. It’s a long story. Forget it, let’s not talk about it anymore. If we talk about it too much, we’re going to cry. Are the other Dragonblood Warriors the same as you?” Long Chen asked.
“So far, most of them have reached the 3rd Layer of Refinement. About a third of them are at the 2nd Layer, but they’re almost at the 3rd Layer.” Meng Qi said.
This was because everyone had absorbed spirit essence stones to advance their cultivation. Although their talent was weak and would affect their energy absorption, the difference in speed wouldn’t be too great. At most three days, the disciples of the second heaven would step into the third heaven.
Dong!
Suddenly, the melodious sound of a bell ringing resounded throughout the entire Mysterious Heavenly Dao Sect.
Long Chen was stunned, “What’s going on? Could it be that a core disciple has initiated a life and death battle?” Damn, other than me, who else would have the guts to do so? Could it be Su Mo? "
“You idiot. This isn’t a bell that was rung during the battle of life and death. Its sound quality is completely different. This is the bell for gathering people. Let’s quickly go over and call for those who are in seclusion.” After Meng Qi finished speaking, she put away the Heaven-Devouring Cloud Sparrow and pulled Long Chen away.
Chapter 1133 - Silent Slap
“What’s going on? Why did we suddenly gather everyone? Could it be that the abyss of hell has opened up again?”
“Haha, it would be great if it’s true. We’ve spent almost all of our points, and I was just worrying about where we could get more!”
All the inner court disciples gathered together and couldn’t help but discuss with each other. But soon, a scene that caused them to be stunned appeared. .
It was because the outer court disciples had also appeared. They actually entered the inner court square and when millions of outer court disciples appeared, the crowd couldn’t help but be shocked.
“What’s going on? Outer sect disciples are also participating in the battle? Could it be that the monsters are even more ferocious than before?” Some people could not help but have their expressions change.
The next moment, all the elders of the sect appeared as well. Regardless of whether it was the Elder Sect, Pill Refining Pavilion, Law Enforcement Hall, Sect Protector Pavilion, or the Supervisor’s Division, all the elders of different departments or all the powerful experts of different Sects appeared.
However, all of the Academy Masters had appeared. Only the Academy Master, Liu Cang, and Long Chen were missing. When Long Chen saw this, a smile appeared on his face.
"Phew!"
Suddenly, the void trembled as three figures appeared in front of the crowd. The person in front of them was the lord Profound Master, and behind the lord Profound Master, there was an old man with a stern expression and a dark complexion. He was the master of the Mysterious Heavenly Dao Sect, the one who was selfless and practically no one was not afraid.
As for the other person, it was none other than Liu Cang. At this moment, a halo appeared behind Liu Cang’s head, within it seemed as though there was a star flashing.
When they saw the halo at the back of Liu Cang’s head, all of the Academy Masters could not help but let out a cry of surprise. The Law Enforcement Hall’s Hall Master, Luo Fan, and the Pill Pavilion’s Pavilion Master changed their expressions, their eyes filled with rage and jealousy.
"The reason why we have gathered everyone here today is because we have a joyous occasion to announce. Elder Liu Cang has advanced to the Fated Star realm and our strength has risen to yet another level.
From today onwards, Liu Cang will no longer be the Academy Master of the Elder Hall but the Vice Profound Master of the Mysterious Heavenly Dao Sect. " The Profound Master said in a clear voice.
"Congratulations, Vice Master Liu!"
The other Academy Master level experts all congratulated Liu Cang. Liu Cang was a highly respected figure in the Mysterious Heavenly Dao Sect and was extremely popular. Thus, they hurriedly returned the greetings to their former comrades.
The faces of the Pill Pavilion’s Pavilion Master and Hall Master became unsightly, especially the Hall Master of the Enforcement Hall. He felt as though his father had just died, anger filling his eyes.
The Profound Master continued: "From today onwards, the Mysterious Heavenly Dao Sect will celebrate for three days. The inner disciples will be rewarded 10,000 points, the outer disciples will be rewarded 1000 points, and the servants will be rewarded 100 points."
As soon as the Profound Master’s voice fell, the crowd burst into cheers. Ten thousand contribution points was only a small reward for the inner disciples, but for the outer disciples, it was different. It was almost equivalent to ten years of salary.
To the servants, it was a windfall. To them, it was an unimaginable number.
“In addition, Dao Sect’s Mysterious Heavenly Dao Wine will be distributed free of charge by all departments. During these three days, the pay of the remaining disciples will increase by ten times. All of them can disperse now!” As the voice of the Profound Master fell, all of the disciples went back excitedly, waiting for their points to be obtained.
Amongst the previous Inner Sect Disciples, Su Mo and Mu Qingxuan’s faces were filled with ecstasy, but their expression was not as good as before. To them, Liu Cang’s promotion to Vice Profound Master was too unexpected, like a thunderclap.
"Long Chen, you stay." Seeing that Long Chen was about to follow him, the Profound Master suddenly called out to Long Chen.
At this moment, only the elders and the Sect master were left on the plaza. As for Long Chen, his disciple appeared extremely out of the blue.
“Long Chen, you have performed extraordinary deeds and are also a member of the Elder’s Hall. Now that Liu Cang has advanced to the Vice Profound Master level, the Elder’s Hall needs to choose a new administrator. You should also participate.” The Profound Master said.
It was clear that Long Chen was already considered to be an elder-level figure. Moreover, Long Chen did indeed have the qualifications to stand here with his combat prowess.
"Now that the position of the Elder is vacant, I need to choose a…" The Grand Master said.
"Profound Master Master, the person to choose first is not too busy. This disciple has something in his heart that he is unwilling to accept." The Enforcement Hall Master stood forward and said.
“Luo Fan, you’re getting more and more unsensible as you age. Don’t you have any rules?” Before the Profound Master could speak, the Tower Lord shouted with a cold face.
Lord Ta Su was tall and imposing. His face was originally as black as coal, and his eyes were like lightning. He looked very frightening. As he spoke with a cold face, Long Chen felt a chill run down his spine.
The Enforcement Hall Master’s body trembled. He was not afraid of the Profound Master, but he was afraid of the selfless Lord Ta Su.
This Lord Ta Su was extremely old-fashioned and acted according to the rules. He had once been furious at Profound Master in front of everyone and did not even give him face.
He dared to interrupt the Profound Master because he was used to it. The Profound Master was very good-natured and did not easily get angry. However, if the Lord Tusk got angry, he would not pay anyone back.
"Disciple understands his mistake." The Enforcement Hall Master hastily bowed and greeted him.
“Lord Ta Su is too serious. It’s just a small matter, why is he so angry? It’s embarrassing.” The Grand Master could not help but laugh.
"Rules are rules. No one can go against the rules. Without rules, how can they be within a wide area? As the Profound Master, you are too indulgent with them, and yourself …" Lord Ta Sut has pointed his spearhead at Profound Master.
He thought of Sister Qingyu and the two of them were very stiff and serious. However, Sister Qingyu’s face was very beautiful and she was scolded a few times, as if she was admiring a beautiful woman. If she were to look at such a big black plate with two big bull eyes every day, Long Chen would become hysterical.
"What is it? “Brat, you don’t accept this?”
Long Chen was rejoicing in his heart, when suddenly, Sir Ta Su’s two eyes pierced towards Long Chen like sharp blades, as if he had seen through Long Chen’s thoughts.
“Cough, cough, this disciple doesn’t dare.” Long Chen hastily said.
"You don’t dare? There are things in this world that you don’t dare to do? If you don’t dare, then it means that you won’t accept it? " Obviously, he wanted to beat this kid up a bit, lest the dragon’s tail stick up to the sky.
“Cough cough, let’s talk about proper business. Luo Fan, what did you just say?” Seeing that Ta Su was trying to beat up Long Chen, the Profound Master quickly changed the topic. He understood these two people too well.
An old-fashioned man who didn’t know how to change the rules, and a bold man who wouldn’t accept it, if he choked, it would be troublesome.
Seeing that the Profound Master had spoken, the Enforcement Hall Master looked at Liu Cang. The jealousy and anger in the depths of his eyes couldn’t be hidden at all.
The Hall Master took a deep breath and said, "The disciples are unconvinced. Amongst the Academy Master level experts, Liu Cang’s qualifications are considered average, so why is it that he can obtain the Profound Master’s Fated Star Orb while Pavilion Master Zhao, who has the oldest qualifications, can’t?
In terms of merit, how many things have our Hall of Enforcement done for the sect over the years? The Law Enforcement Hall has groomed the strongest disciples in the past few years. The Law Enforcement Hall must have made more contributions than the elders’ Sect.
Last time you said that you had won his Fated Star Bead in a bet with Ma Xingkong, and that you wanted to make this Pearl of Life work as soon as possible. We had always thought that in terms of rewards, you would bestow the Pearl of Life to the most useful person.
All of us, looking forward to it, and you. You actually gave the Fated Star Pearl to Liu Cang in private. Disciple is unconvinced! “Please advise me.” The Enforcement Hall Master’s voice was filled with resentment.
"Disciple is also unwilling to accept this. Please give your judgement, Sir Tas." The head of the Pill Pavilion could not help but open his mouth to speak as well, obviously standing on the same front as the head of the Enforcement Hall.
For a moment, the entire audience went silent. The Law Enforcement Hall and Pill Pavilion started to make a fuss. It was obvious that they were dissatisfied with the Profound Master’s actions and wanted an explanation.
However, Long Chen’s eyes wandered. He looked at the Lord Profound Master and then looked at the furious Law Enforcement Hall Master and the Pill Pavilion Master. He basically understood what was going on.
“Profound Master, what is going on?” Lord Ta Su obviously didn’t understand what had happened, so he couldn’t help but ask. He was also somewhat confused.
"This matter, I am not the one in charge of this matter. Instead, it is Long Chen who is in charge of this matter." Profound Master said with a wave of his hand.
"What?"
Everyone was shocked. How could Long Chen have done such a huge thing? This is too child’s play.
"This time, the reason why the Heaven Supressing Sect has come to issue a challenge and try to suppress the spirit of our Mysterious Heavenly Dao Sect is because of Long Chen. Not only did he allow me to win all the chips I’ve lost over the years back, he even made me win midway, which is why he has this Fated Star Pearl which came out of nowhere.
If there wasn’t Long Chen, let alone the Fated Star Pearl, I wouldn’t be able to win back the other chips. I would also have to invest some resources and be humiliated in front of others.
So, I gave this Fated Star Pearl to Long Chen as a reward. The Profound Master said.
“Of course, the rewards and punishments must be clear. Long Chen has brought honor to the Mysterious Heavenly Dao Sect. We cannot avoid being light because of the value of the treasures. Otherwise, won’t we make the disciples feel disappointed?” Tas said.
"Long Chen, what did you say when I gave it to you?" The Profound Master said.
Long Chen would truly be a fool if he didn’t understand such a simple method. He hurriedly said respectfully, "This Fated Star Pearl is too precious. It would be too wasteful for it to be given to disciples.
So, I want to give this Fated Star Pearl, which is rewarded to me, to the head of the academy to repay for his kindness and nurture. "
"Did you hear that? “I gave the Fated Star Pearl to Long Chen. Who Long Chen gave it to has nothing to do with me. Do you understand now?” The Profound Master looked at Law Enforcement Hall’s and Pill Master and spoke.
Law Enforcement Hall’s Hall Master, Luo Fan, and Pill Pavilion’s Master had immediately given up. The item belonged to Long Chen, so no matter who Long Chen gave it to, he wouldn’t give it to them.
Now, all the elders were looking at them with weird expressions on their faces. They wanted to bury their heads in their pants, this was too shameful, they had shamelessly raised their heads to question the Xuan Master, pretending to be righteous and indignant. But now, they had been slapped so hard, and it was like they were the ones who had slapped themselves.
The shame and indignation in their hearts had already reached the extreme. At the same time, they also hated Long Chen to the bone. They wished they could eat his flesh and skin.
Everyone dispersed under the awkward atmosphere. However, Long Chen knew that this was arranged by the Profound Master himself. Long Chen just didn’t know what the Profound Master meant by his move.
When Long Chen returned to the mountain, three days later, there was a loud bang from the Mysterious Heavenly Dao Sect and countless sirens rang.
