Facing that voice, the old clan leader smiled slightly and said, "Hidden dangers are everywhere; this one person won't be missing!"
"You mean, you still want to keep this kid?" The voice said,
"Don't say I didn't warn you. That Long Zhantian left his son here, clearly fostering him with us, draining our resources. The possibility that the two of them can serve us is extremely slim."
"But at the very least, Luo Zichuan is utterly loyal to the Purple Blood Clan. He has sacrificed so much for them.
Just for this reason, even if his whole family lives off the crowd, our Purple Blood Clan still needs to support them. The old clan leader said.
The voice said somewhat dismissively, "You must understand, from ancient times until now, the Purple Blood lineage has been draining the mountains, and their resources are nearly exhausted.
If this keeps up, whether it can last a thousand years is still unknown. You're raising such a large group of idlers, causing huge divisions within the Purple Blood lineage. "
It's normal to have disagreements; it proves they all have their own ideas, and that's not necessarily a bad thing.
Additionally, I plan to use up all resources over a few years. The old clan leader said.
"Are you crazy?"
The voice was shocked.
"We have to be crazy. The time has come. We must take a gamble. Long Chen is from our Purple Blood clan. Since he's here and seized this opportunity, whatever others have, he must have.
Although there is no absolute fairness in this world, in my hands, I must strive to be as fair as possible. The old clan leader said, though his voice was gentle, his tone was resolute and unquestionable.
After the old clan leader said this, his voice fell silent for a moment and said, "Then how do you balance the conflicts among the major families?" Long Chen's arrival was like adding fuel to the fire. "
Adding fuel to the fire isn't a bad thing; it will accelerate my planning process. From the current situation, everything is moving in a favorable direction."
"Can't you reveal your plan?" The voice said.
"No,"
the old clan leader shook his head.
"You don't even trust me?" The voice said somewhat dissatisfiedly.
"I don't even trust myself." The old clan leader laughed.
...
Long Chen continued learning the spells and divine abilities he wanted. The Purple Blood Clan had countless divine abilities, but it was impossible to master them all, and Long Chen had no intention of learning that many.
He only learned some spells and divine abilities he had never encountered before, to broaden his knowledge and foundation.
When Long Zhantian taught Long Chen various techniques, he had already told him that for any spell or divine ability, the most important thing is to cultivate its spirit, not be deceived by its actions.
The spirit and clarity reside in the mind; what the mind understands can change shapes endlessly. Spirit is what matters most.
Long Chen's spiritual realm was already extremely high, and with Long Zhantian's guidance, it was like a sudden enlightenment—his realm and vision had risen by a wide margin.
Although the Purple Blood Clan possesses countless techniques and divine abilities, not many are suitable for Long Chen. The main reason Long Chen learned their divine abilities was to perfect his Eight-Star Battle Body.
Regarding the Nine-Star Overlord Body Technique, even Long Zhantian gave no guidance. He told Long Chen that this path could only be walked by himself; no one else could help him.
With Long Zhantian's guidance, Long Chen gained a deeper understanding of the Nine-Star Overlord Body Technique. At the same time, he had already found the direction for the Eight-Star Battle Body to change its form, but the specific details still needed to be carefully refined.
Moreover, learning more spells and divine abilities would help him condense a new form of the Eight-Star Battle Body.
While Long Chen was comprehending the magical powers here, the outside world did not cause much of a stir, because Elder Zhixin did not pursue the matter, and no one else could use it to stir up trouble.
So, everyone pretended nothing had happened, and the 'killed' disciple of the Bi family was left forgotten in a daze.
As for the three missing arms and legs, after half a day, the power attached to their wounds disappeared, which had no effect on them.
In fact, Long Chen had only intended to give them a minor punishment and not want their lives. However, the person who saved them nearly took their lives.
For three consecutive days, Long Chen spent his time in the Purple Immortal Pavilion, practicing techniques and divine abilities as if on a whirlwind tour. To outsiders, it seemed he wasn't cultivating at all. In a single cultivation space, sometimes he would leave in just a few breaths, and at most, it would only take the time of one incense stick to burn.
You have to understand, for others to cultivate and comprehend, once inside, they won't be able to get out for at least ten days or half a month. Some even need to cultivate for several months.
No one knew what Long Chen was up to with this stance, but the fact that he could continuously break through barrier barriers and enter the cultivation space showed that his strength was truly astonishing.
Because different cultivation methods have different requirements for bloodline, soul, willpower, and physical body, the assessments are extremely strict, and Long Chen passed them all with ease.
No cultivation space had ever refused Long Chen, which made many people start to see him in a new light.
Although Long Chen had previously subdued Elder Zhixin with a single strike, Elder Zhixin was not a combat-type powerhouse; he was a legacy-type powerhouse, usually responsible for helping disciples open meridians, focus spirits and forge souls, strengthen muscles and marrow, and perform auxiliary tasks. His own combat power was not very strong.
It could even be said that his combat ability was limited to sparring and had never recorded a kill in his lifetime. However, this time, with Long Chen's help, Elder Zhixin finally broke the record of zero kills.
As for Long Chen subduing Elder Zhixin, many people saw it as just luck, because no one expected that a disciple would dare to attack the elder, and Elder Zhixin was caught off guard and fell victim.
Compared to Long Chen's methods, what shocked them even more was his courage. After this incident, people realized that the Luo family had produced a madman.
Three days later, Long Chen stopped studying. Luo Zichuan, who had been waiting for him here, had long since left. Seeing the turmoil settle and no one provoking Long Chen anymore, he stopped wasting time and returned to his family to cultivate.
Now that Long Chen had helped him complete the blood exchange, Long Chen's purple blood was purer and more promising than his own bloodline. But the potential needed to be tapped; he needed to fully unleash the power of his bloodline to live up to Long Chen's filial devotion.
"You're out?" Let me take you back! When
Long Chen walked out of the main gate of Zixian Pavilion, the elder of the Luo family hesitated and told Long Chen to return on his own. He was a bit uneasy, not knowing if this child might cause trouble halfway through.
"Senior, you're too kind. I can handle it myself." Long Chen said with a smile.
Seeing Long Chen's cheerful smile, like a boy next door, in a good mood, the man nodded and said,
"Alright, be careful on the road."
"Alright,"
Long Chen repliedAfter greeting them, he returned to the Luo family. Although along the way he saw many disciples from other families, some of whom cast unfriendly glances at Long Chen, none of them acted provocatively, and Long Chen couldn't be bothered to pay them any attention.
When Long Chen returned to the Luo family plaza, a group of people carrying weapons were striding out with high spirits. These people were none other than Luo Shenghui and his group. When Luo Shenghui saw Long Chen, a sinister smile appeared at the corner of his mouth as he directly blocked Long Chen's path:
"Oh dear, this isn't just a ... for
"Smack!"
Long Chen slapped Long Chen hard across the face. At this moment, he wasn't going to indulge him. Amid the explosion, Luo Shenghui rolled all the way out and crashed hard into a distant artificial mountain. The artificial mountain, enhanced by the formation, was shattered by his smash.
