DRAGON BLOODED WAR GOD

Chapter 435: Fool



Chapter 435: Fool

“Chen’er, what do you plan to do next?” asked Zhao Qingyun. After appointing Murong Yu as Empress, the mess left behind by Long Chen was finally settled.

Murong Yu was also listening intently.

Long Chen was only seventeen, but he was already the strongest person in the Cangyang Kingdom. If he stayed here, he would have no space to grow, and his growth would be arrested. A young person like him had to explore the world outside instead of staying in a place like the Cangyang Kingdom.

“I plan to pay my hometown near Yuanling City a visit. Once everything in the Cangyang Kingdom is settled and Xiao Yu successfully takes the throne, I’ll leave and head towards the Divine Martial Territory.” Long Chen had long made his decision.

He would go to the Divine Martial Territory whether Ling Xi was by his side or not. Ideally, Ling Xi’s family wouldn’t discover her presence and she would remain by his side. If she left, the only option he would have was to head to the Divine Martial Territory because he could go to other places through there.

While one of his main reasons for returning to Yuanling City was to meet his family, the other reason was for Ling Xi to regain her body there.

“Divine Martial Territory?” Zhao Qingyun nodded. That place suited Long Chen better.

After hearing him, there was a flash of sadness in Murong Yu’s eyes. It would be difficult for her to meet him again. He could soar as high as he wanted, but she had to stay here and fulfill her duty. It seemed a little unfair.

However, her current success stemmed from the mentorship that the Heavenly Demon Palace had provided her, so she did not resent them.

Long Chen had helped her regain her looks and had even given her the Imperial Sword. He had treated her very well.

“Right, Chen’er, do you know how to get to the dem?” Zhao Qingyun asked with concern.

“When I went to Ginger City, I discovered a universal transporter in the Snowpeak Mountains. That’s probably a universal transporter leading to the Divine Martial Territory, right?” Long Chen asked.

“You even know about universal transporters?” Zhao Qingyun was a little surprised, then he nodded. “Indeed. That is a universal transporter that leads to the Divine Martial Territory, though it has only ever been used a few times. The people of the Divine Martial Territory would never come to a place like this, nor do we ever go there.”

The main reason the people of the Cangyang Kingdom did not visit the Divine Martial Territory was because of the lack of Heavenly Passage Pills. The number of people who even possessed Heavenly Passage Pills here could probably be counted on one hand.

“Master, approximately how many Heavenly Passage Pills will we need if Xiaolang and I head to the Divine Martial Territory?” Long Chen asked hurriedly. This was what he cared about the most.

Zhao Qingyun counted for a while and said, “About fifty. The universal transporter expends a great number of Heavenly Passage Pills. With you and Xiaolang’s capabilities, you’ll need more than forty to complete the transportation process.”

“Fifty?” Long Chen was stunned. He only had a hundred pills on him, and a single trip would cost him fifty. He was not sure if the remaining fifty was enough to help him reach the Heavenly Passage Realm.

Long Chen’s expression soured.

“What’s the matter? You don’t have enough Heavenly Passage Pills? How many did you get from the Sword Emperor?” Zhao Qingyun asked with great interest.

“A hundred,” said Long Chen.

Zhao Qingyun grimaced and smiled bitterly. “After so many years, the Heavenly Demon Palace only has seventy pills passed down over generations. Xiao Yu needs at least thirty to reach the Heavenly Passage Realm. Since you have fifty left, I won’t be giving you any …”

Long Chen was speechless.

Then again, he had never considered asking Zhao Qingyun for Heavenly Passage Pills. He was about to go to the Divine Martial Territory, and once he arrived, wouldn’t Heavenly Passage Pills be abundant? As long as the remaining fifty pills were enough for him to reach the Heavenly Passage Realm, it was sufficient.

With that thought, Long Chen grew anxious to help Ling Xi regain her body and said, “Master, I’ll leave the matters of the Imperial Capital to you for now. Later, I will send my command out. I haven’t visited home in a long time, so I’ll be heading there now.”

“So soon?”

Long Chen nodded. He wasn’t in a hurry to go home, but he was in a hurry to let Ling Xi regain her body.

Zhao Qingyun nodded. “Go, then.”

Long Chen bade him and Murong Yu farewell, then he sent out instructions to the other factions of the Imperial Capital. The Heavenly Demon Lord was a Heavenly Passage Realm cultivator, and if Long Chen wanted them to serve Zhao Qingyun, how could they refuse?

Long Chen called Xiaolang over, then they quickly rushed towards Yuanling City.

He was about to face the most important moment of his life. This was going to be a huge turning point, so he was extremely anxious and was praying hard that if Ling Xi successfully regained her body, her family would not come …

Ling Xi could not bear to part with him, and he felt the same way. Long Chen had promised that he would not allow Ling Xi to live in this state forever, or he would never forgive himself.

Once again, he was riding on Xiaolang’s back.

Once again, the stars shone brightly.

Night had fallen, and beneath the stars, Long Chen was staring ahead in a daze. Ling Xi was tiny and sparkled with a white glow; she had flown out of the Ling Xi Sword, and he reached out, so she sat on the back of his hand.

“Brother Chen, you look very anxious.” There was worry in her eyes.

“Nonsense,” he said, shaking his head. Then he looked at her solemnly and said, “Just now, you said that the Nine Heavens Immortal Fruit was plucked about four months ago and a lot of its medicinal effects have faded. If it continues to fade, you say that the medicinal effects will not be enough for you to regain your body in ten days’ time?”

Ling Xi nodded tiredly. She did not want to tell him this and initially intended to let the ten days pass. The Nine Heavens Immortal Fruit would be useless at that point, and they would not need to worry. However, she knew that he would not forgive her for this, so she had chosen to tell him.

“So that means you have to cultivate and refine it as soon as possible. At least within five days. We should arrive in Yuanling City in five days’ time. I’ll let you refine it then, understood?” Long Chen said with determination after some thought.

This time, he had no complaints nor regrets.

He wanted Ling Xi to have a healthy, complete body at any cost. Then she would be a true human. This had been his deepest wish for the past six months. He was beyond happy when Ling Xi was in the Profound Heavenly Jade Lotus body, but Lin Zichen had forced her to abandon it. In the end, Lin Zichen had paid with his life.

“Brother Chen, have you really made the decision to do this?” Ling Xi asked wistfully with tears in her eyes.

“Even if I die, I’ll die with no complaints nor regrets if it’s for you,” Long Chen answered, gritting his teeth.

“But I can’t bear to part.”

Ling Xi sounded like she was about to cry. It was like a heavy hammer had struck Long Chen’s heart, but in front of ultimate power, a weakling like him had no choice.

Power. All of this stems from power. If I possessed infinite power, it wouldn't matter if Ling Xi’s family came to get her. I would be able to chase them away! But I can’t! Because right now, I am too weak. The journey of cultivation has no end. Right now, I am just an ant!

Long Chen’s heart bled as he thought about this.

A powerful desire grew from the depths of his heart, an infinite hunger for power!

Millions of blood-colored dragons roared within his body and his blood boiled. Long Chen was not the only one who hungered for power. They desired power too! From a dragon’s perspective, Long Chen was weaker than a hair right now. That was why he had to grow! And he had to grow at an even faster rate!

His long hair flew in the night breeze.

“Xiao Xi.”

“Hmm?”

Long Chen sighed and said, “I don’t know if my decision today is the right one. I don’t know if giving up the chance to stay with you for the rest of my life is a foolish decision. But I can’t bring myself to do otherwise.”

“Brother Chen … I understand, but my clan possesses power that is unfathomable to you. They are on a level beyond the Divine Martial Territory. Any random member can destroy an empire. My worries are not baseless …”

Any random person could destroy an empire.

Long Chen froze.

This was Ling Xi’s first time describing a true master to him.

To the true masters, Long Chen, who was the strongest in the Cangyang Kingdom, was just a frog at the bottom of the well.

Long Chen felt the weight of a mountain on his shoulders.

He took a deep breath and looked up at the infinite expanse of the night sky. No one could control the movements of the stars. To the stars, all mortal humans were weak.

An idea suddenly popped into his mind.

The mortals beneath the stars were like ants. Even a person who could destroy an empire on his own was nothing but a mortal beneath the stars, though a stronger ant. However, Long Chen had the blood of the ancestral dragons, and he would one day soar through the heavens and control the stars on a whim. Why would he need to be afraid of stronger ants?

Powerful confidence exploded in his eyes.

He sensed the endless potential within him.

He had trump cards—divine techniques that came from the Ancient Bloodsoul Dragon and the Primordial Dragon Talisman, which were no simple things. He even had the dragon jade, which he knew nothing about. With such earth-shaking trump cards, he was fated to become a supreme presence, the number one of his age. Ling Xi’s clan was powerful, but so what?

Long Chen’s heart burned with the flames of passion.

“Xiao Xi, I have already made my decision. Once we have reached Baiyang Town, I want to personally see you refining the Nine Heavens Immortal Fruit. You are my woman, and you will be mine in every lifetime!”
