Chapter 7044 Done with the Act
Chapter 7044 Done with the Act
When the transportation formation started, Long Chen suddenly felt an almost imperceptible energy scanning him. The violet-gold polearm in Long Chen’s spiritual space also sensed it, and was about to respond, but with a thought, Long Chen directly moved the polearm to the primal chaos space.
That scanning energy had to come from the Jiuli Tower. They were both primal chaos divine items, and the violet-gold polearm was incomplete to boot, so it may not be able to escape the tower’s senses. Thus, Long Chen moved it to the primal chaos space. The Jiuli Tower would definitely not be able to sense it there.
As for Evilmoon, the Jiulil Tower was unable to sense it. After all, Evilmoon had already recognized him as master, and it was fully attuned to him. But the violet-gold polearm was different. As long as it was present, the Jiuli Tower would be able to deduce that it was present within him just based on Long Chen’s bloodline fluctuations.
The force continued to scan for a while, but in the end, it found nothing and quickly vanished.
Using the transportation formation’s tremors to cover up this scan could be called a flawless plan otherwise, but it was still a joke in front of Long Chen.
Space trembled. The scenery around them changed. They appeared in a seemingly endless mountain range that looked like the spines of massive dragons sleeping underground.
There were pavilions constructed atop the mountain peaks. Every single pavilion was shining and linked to the other pavilions. It was a massive grand formation, and Long Chen was now inside this grand formation. He could sense the formation’s terrifying pressure, and he could tell that, just as he had been thinking a few moments earlier, he had truly entered a den of monsters.
However, his expression was still calm. Not only was his expression calm, but his heart was calm as well. It was not an act, but pure confidence. Of course, the truth was that if the Violet Abyss had not given him the violet-gold polearm, Long Chen would not have taken the risk of coming here alone. He would have called over Green Old Sixth to accompany him. He was no idiot, and a wise man does not place himself in unnecessary danger. And truly unnecessary it was; Long Chen had never expected to gain anything good from interacting with the Jiuli race.
Long Yan pointed at the mountains and the divine light. He arrogantly said, “Dean Long Chen, this is the Jiuli Divine Realm’s heaven-seizing grand formation. What do you think?”
Now that they had returned to the Jiuli Divine Realm, Long Yan was clearly completely confident. He was no longer acting as cautious as before.
“Heaven-seizing? It seems that the Jiuli Divine Realm has been preparing for the new era for a long time!” Long Chen nodded.
Long Yan nodded. “Hahaha, but of course. Those who lack foresight will inevitably be one step from calamity. It’s better to close the windows before it rains and dig a well before you’re thirsty. In this era, the Jiuli race will definitely stand at the pinnacle of the human race, as well as the peak of the world. No one can stop our advancement.”
He had suddenly become arrogant and domineering. Or, in other words, he had stopped pretending and was revealing his true face.
Long Chen indifferently said, “Then I’ll congratulate you in advance!”
This sarcasm instantly irritated the members of the Jiuli race. Everyone could tell that he was contemptuous of this statement.
One disciple stepped forward and shouted, “Long Chen, you must not realize that this is the Jiuli Divine Realm, not somewhere you can run rampant—”
Long Chen immediately slapped him in the face. That man’s face was blasted apart, and he went flying like a shooting star.
“So noisy. Who do you think you are to rebuke someone you should be addressing as ‘Lord’?” sneered Long Chen.
As the Dean of the High Firmament Academy, Long Chen truly was qualified for such a title. People in his generation were nowhere near the level where they could talk to him casually, let alone rudely.
“Courting death!” roared another disciple. Seeing that Long Chen dared to attack people here, he immediately drew his sword… or he tried, at least. He only managed to draw it halfway before a ray of seven-color light pierced his head. He froze and then slowly collapsed, never to rise again.
Long Chen turned back to the shocked and enraged Long Yan. “Elder Long Yan, if you feel like I’m going to restrain myself now that I’ve come to the Jiuli Divine Realm, then I genuinely .”
Since they had dropped their pretenses, so would he. If they wanted to play, he would accompany them.
Long Yan clearly hadn’t expected Long Chen to still be so arrogant while in the Jiuli Divine Realm. He had instantly killed a disciple and injured another. He didn’t give the Jiuli race any face!
A sharp light flashed through Long Yan’s eyes. Alright, you little shit. Let’s see how long you can keep acting arrogant.
But his next words were in complete contrast with his thoughts. He clenched his teeth and said, “Dean Long Chen, please, show some deference!”
Long Chen indifferently said, “To whom am I supposed to show deference? Was the guy who died just now your dad? Why do you look so aggrieved?”
Long Yan raged, “You… Long Chen, don’t go too far! You and I are both surnamed Long! We’re both from the Long family. No matter how you put it, I am your elder!”
“My elder? Are you qualified to call yourself that? What can you do other than put on an act?” responded Long Chen. Then, he started walking forward, just like that.
A vein throbbed on Long Yan’s forehead. He almost exploded right there and then. He was a Heaven Elder, someone with immense authority and status. No one dared to treat him like this. Furthermore, now he was in his own home, yet he was still being chided like a dog.
Long Chen was now leading the way. An elder appeared in front of Long Yan and gestured at him. Long Yan took a deep breath and shook his head. Suppressing his rage, he followed Long Chen.
“What a poser!”
Long Chen seemed to be talking to himself, but it almost made Long Yan lose control and attack him. Fortunately, Long Chen didn’t say anything further, or who knew whether he would have managed to control himself in the end.
An impure body and an impure soul. The new era’s aura was planted inside him like a seed. Perhaps only the Jiuli Tower is capable of such a feat.
As he walked, Long Chen sensed the energy signature of Long Yan. Thanks to his heightened anger, Long Yan’s energy was fluctuating much more intensely, making it easier to grasp the truth. That was the main reason Long Chen was actively trying to make him angry.
In addition to the new era’s laws planted within him, Long Chen also sensed karmic luck.
This fellow had been a peak Divine Sovereign to begin with. And it seemed that, thanks to the Jiuli Tower’s assistance, he had transcended the limitations of time and become an expert of the new era. This was a rather heaven-defying ability!
That said… Long Yan was definitely strong, but Long Chen still didn’t view him as a threat.
As they continued onwards, they arrived at a mountain peak. A massive tower reaching the heavens was standing here.
This ancient tower radiated an aura that felt ancient and vast. It also exuded a sharp, murderous air. However, its grandeur was marred by multiple alarming cracks. It was obvious that this tower had once been broken. The pieces had been put back together, but the scars had yet to heal.
This was one of the legendary primal chaos divine items, the Jiuli Tower. More specifically, it was the complete Jiuli Tower.
Long Chen sighed. I didn’t expect them to put it back together so fast. Not bad!
The Jiuli Tower had regained all its pieces. Even if it wasn’t fully repaired, it wouldn’t be too long. On the other hand, the violet blood race was in trouble. They had the handle and the clapper of the Violet Gold Bell, but not the actual bell, and taking the last part back would undoubtedly be another bloody battle.
Just then, an old man walked out of the tower and glared at Long Chen with undisguised killing intent. It was as if he wanted to rip Long Chen apart with just his gaze.
“Long Chen, who would have thought that we’d meet again?”
When he saw this man, Long Chen smirked. Long time no see, Ye Boran!
