When Long Chen heard the words 'Emperor Miao,' he immediately thought of Feng Fei. Could it be that the Divine Clan is trying to cultivate a great emperor?
"The Emperor Sprout you mentioned refers to ...," Long Chen asked tentatively.
The High Priest smiled slightly and said, "Just as you imagine, the Divine Clan has actually been nurturing Emperor seedlings, hoping that one day they can cultivate a true Great Emperor."
Although they had trained super powerhouses in the past, they had never been able to cultivate an Emperor, yet they never gave up.
Now that the fortune of heaven and earth is erupting, it's impossible for them not to prepare. Besides, according to my estimation, the four great divine clans are not united; each has their own agenda.
Their open and covert struggles, as for their ... purpose, forget it, let's not talk about that. Back to the main topic: have you ever seen a powerful Emperor Miao expert? "
Long Chen wasn't sure either. He briefly explained Feng Fei's situation. The High Priest nodded and said, "To be able to slay an adult Bloodwing Demon King and bring back a complete corpse is indeed a powerful figure at the Emperor Miao level."
An adult Bloodwing Demon King should be on par with the Heaven-level elders of the Divine Clan. So, your chances of facing Feng Fei are very slim now. "
Long Chen's heart raced wildly. Even the High Priest said the same. It seemed this Emperor seedling must have something terrifying beyond his knowledge.
"Although you are already strong enough, compared to Di Miao, you fall short in foundation.
Do you know what the three innate conditions are to become an Emperor? The High Priest looked at Long Chen and said.
"You told me it's spiritual blood, spiritual roots, and spiritual bones." Long Chen nodded.
"You know about spiritual blood and spiritual roots, but you probably haven't touched spiritual bones.
There were some things I shouldn't have told you, lest you feel hurt, but since we've come to this point, we still have to face this issue. The High Priest looked at Long Chen and said.
Long Chen was suddenly startled, his expression changing slightly: "High Priest, if you can tell that my spiritual root, spiritual blood, and spirit bones have been stolen, can others do too?" The
High Priest's words instantly snapped Long Chen awake. Last time, the High Priest had said that without spiritual blood, spiritual roots, and spiritual bones, Long Chen could not become an Emperor.
At the time, Long Chen didn't pay much attention, but if the Long family noticed this after entering the Divine Clan, it would be very disadvantageous for him.
Seemingly noticing Long Chen's concern, the High Priest smiled slightly and said, "The reason I was able to see it was the first time I saw you.
Later, as your cultivation improved, I no longer noticed it. Don't worry, no one can discover your secret.
Moreover, now that you have fully fused with the Azure Dragon essence blood, the original power of essence blood has been completely concealed, and no one can trace the origin of your spirit blood. Hearing
the High Priest's explanation, Long Chen felt much more at ease. He had really startled him earlier—lately, his mind had been weak, and he had forgotten even such a fatal flaw.
Long Chen had previously made a hypothesis: if he was a member of the Divine Clan, then anyone who took his spiritual root, spirit, bone, and blood—even if not from the Divine Clan—would surely have a significant connection to the Divine Clan.
If the Divine Clan found out he didn't have spiritual roots, bones, or blood, it would easily arouse suspicion. Although Long Chen had been tested for his spiritual roots at the Xuantian Villa,
But at that time, the inspections were all the most ordinary, and when reporting, they were only submitted to Long Chen with the most basic qualifications.
As for spiritual blood, it is only triggered later. At the Condensation Realm, it is never checked, because at that time the essence blood is still ordinary blood, without any spiritual power.
Later, as Long Chen gradually rose, no one cared about his aptitude anymore, believing that the previous test was due to a problem with the test stone.
Moreover, Long Chen had secretly checked the records he had left in the Xuantian Villa, only to find that everything had disappeared. Long Chen found this strange at the time. One day, Li Tianxuan suddenly told him that all his past records had long been erased.
At that moment, Long Chen knew that Li Tianxuan must have noticed something, but his actions didn't seem abrupt.
Some major sects, if they discover a genius disciple, will adopt a confidentiality strategy, erasing some of the disciple's history, and even erasing all information such as their origins.
Li Tianxuan was always meticulous in his work, having already prepared everything for Long Chen, so he didn't need to worry.
"Long Chen, from now on it will be an era of heroes competing and a hundred flowers blooming. If you keep being so conservative, your fate will be very tragic.
Emperor Moli may save you once, but due to the accumulation of karma, it ultimately returns to you.
Young people should have the energy of youth and go all out to make the move. Our Wine God Palace will be your strongest support. The High Priest looked at Long Chen with a meaningful tone.
"High Priest, ..." Long Chen was stunned. The Wine God Palace had always been unconcerned with worldly affairs—how could they suddenly say such things?
The High Priest smiled slightly and said, "Heavenly secrets must not be revealed. You just need to know that when you are at your wit's end, our Wine God Palace is behind you."
Although the Divine Clan is powerful, our Wine God Palace also has its own foundation. We dislike conflict, but that doesn't mean we lack the strength to compete.
You don't need to be surprised—this is all the Dionysus' wish, and if you keep being so cautious, there's no way out. Just go for it and go all out.
If the sky falls, our Wine God Palace will hold it up for you, because I've noticed you're becoming less and less willing to take risks.
Have you forgotten that while you're accumulating your trump cards, others' cards are also rapidly growing. You are fighting alone, and others are the backing of billions.
The more afraid you are to fight and the more conservative you are, the stronger you become, the more your enemies will become. Long
Chen was both surprised and delighted; he hadn't expected the High Priest to support him, and even at the Dionysus' intention.
"Thank you, High Priest. With your support, to be honest, I feel much more at ease." Long Chen said gratefully.
"Actually, I'm not the only one who supports you. It's just that you never like to rely on others, so you don't know how many people are standing behind you.
Our Wine God Palace is just the first to make a statement, giving you a peace of mind first, so you don't waste your precious time and energy again. The High Priest chuckled, his words hinting.
As for the High Priest, Long Chen could never sense his depth. He was like a vast ocean, beneath its calm surface, no one knew how deep the depths lay.
Although Long Chen could not estimate the High Priest's cultivation, his intuition told him that the High Priest must be a powerhouse above the Universal Netherworld.
The High Priest has always been low-key and never boasts. Since he has spoken out of support for Long Chen, he must have the confidence, which gave Long Chen an unprecedented sense of confidence.
"Damn it, since you have my support, there's nothing to fear. There's no need to hide anything anymore." Long Chen clenched his fist.
Long Chen secretly collected and secretly developed Long Chen's alchemy, Xia Chen's formations, and Guo Ran's forging materials.
In fact, some items can be purchased directly as finished or semi-finished products, especially on Guo Ran's side. Some items can be subcontracted for processing, but for secrecy, most are made by their own people.
This not only wastes a lot of effort, but also consumes a lot of valuable time.
Moreover, Long Chen's alchemy skills were even more secretive. After showing his face in the Divine Clan this time, Long Chen felt a bit regretful.
Afraid someone would dig into his background, this thing isn't afraid of thieves stealing, but of being coveted. Just thinking about countless pairs of eyes secretly watching from behind him made him uncomfortable.
Now that he had the support of the Wine God Palace, Long Chen's back suddenly stood firm.
After bidding farewell to the High Priest and having dinner with his parents and sister, Long Chen left the Wine God Palace and left the Great Xia Empire. Suddenly, he became wary.
"Someone's watching you?"
Long Chen's Nine-Star Overlord Body Technique sensed it, and a faint, almost imperceptible fluctuation swept across the void. Although the fluctuation was extremely faint and almost imperceptible, and it wasn't aimed at him, it still caught Long Chen's attention.
"Not the aura of a Blood Kill Hall assassin." Long Chen immediately ruled out the Blood Kill Hall because the feeling was completely different.
If it were someone else, they wouldn't have felt this fluctuation at all, but they couldn't escape the sensing of Long Chen's Nine-Star Overlord Body Technique.
This must be a super terrifying powerhouse. Long Chen could only sense that faint hostility, but couldn't sense his location.
This was a rare occurrence. A cold smile appeared on Long Chen's face. Someone actually wanted to kill him. He had left the Divine Clan, and only Wanqing knew the direction he had left.
Moreover, Long Chen came to the Wine God Palace after a disguise—not to deceive anyone, but to avoid alarming the Daxia royal family, so as not to waste time with polite pleasantries.
By this calculation, only members of the Divine Clan could track Long Chen, and among them, those hostile to Long Chen were like lice on a bald head—clearly the Ye family.
Long Chen pretended not to notice anything, sped forward, and silently crushed a pill. The colorless, tasteless powder quietly drifted through the void.
When Long Chen rushed into the towering mountains, surrounded by desolation, he suddenly stopped. The Dragonbone Evil Moon in his hand pierced through the sky like a black galaxy, slashing down behind him.
"Boom!"
The void shattered. Amidst endless fragments of space-time, a man wearing a silver mask appeared. This man had white hair, clearly an old man, thin and tall.
Beneath the silver mask, a look of shock appeared in his eyes, clearly unaware of how Long Chen had discovered him.
"Whoosh!"
Long Chen's Dragonbone Xie Yue hoisted it onto his shoulder and said coldly, "The Ye family actually sent an old dog to chase me. What's the matter?" Are you trying to bite me? As
Long Chen spoke, he activated his entire aura, with hundreds of thousands of stars circulating within him, endless power flowing through his body. This old fellow was very strong.
"Enough talk, surrender obediently. I won't kill you, or don't blame me for being ruthless. When the time comes, you'll wish you were dead." The elder wearing a silver mask spoke in a voice as hoarse and harsh as scraping iron, yet carried an undeniable quality.
