Long Chen hadn't expected Elder Longqi to suddenly ask such a question. It seemed to carry a hidden meaning, yet also seem like an unintentional question, leaving him puzzled.
"In my heart, the most important thing is my closest family." Long Chen answered truthfully.
"Oh?" What do you mean by 'close relatives'? Elder Longqi asked again.
"They are my parents, brothers, and soulmates." Long Chen said.
"If they had a conflict, you could only take one side. Who would you choose?" Elder Longqi turned his head and looked at Long Chen.
"That's impossible. If this doesn't exist." Long Chen shook his head.
"Why doesn't it exist? You have to understand, life is unpredictable, and no one can guarantee what will happen in the future. If a conflict arises between them, like fire and water, what would you choose? Elder Longqi said with a smile.
Long Chen also smiled and said, "That really doesn't exist. Even if life is unpredictable, our hearts won't change."
My closest family is bound by me, connected together. As long as I, Long Chen, live, this bond will never fade.
So, I can guarantee that the contradiction you mentioned absolutely does not exist, because I am who I am. "
Hahaha, what a perfect example of me. That statement is truly powerful. I remember someone said the same thing back then, but unfortunately..." Elder Longqi sighed, his face tinged with sadness.
Long Chen's heart skipped a beat unconsciously, and he asked calmly, "What a pity? Was that person's ending really bad?" Elder
Longqi shook his head and said, "Getting off track, you look a lot like someone, which made me sigh a little."
Alright, let's get back to the main topic. This time, you did well, but your moves seem a bit .... Can't you be a bit more open-faced? Elder
Longqi looked at Long Chen with a somewhat strange expression. Although Long Chen had won a great victory this time, his methods were far too low-level.
It should be known that Elder Longqi originally intended for Long Chen to demonstrate his superb combat skills and show everyone his military talent. But it seemed Long Chen misunderstood and deliberately used underhanded tricks to trap people, which was somewhat unacceptable. Victory was a victory, but it would inevitably be criticized and unconvincing.
Long Chen shook his head: "My father once taught me that the battlefield is no game. No matter what method you use, as long as you can win, it's a good strategy."
War is always about interests; the greatest reward at the least sacrifice is the true way of a commander.
"A general's success is said to be a thousand bones withered." This refers to some low-ranking people. True masters, when fame and success, still have a group of brothers by their side, sharing the fruits of victory.
Instead of living alone and enjoying the wealth and honor that brothers have won with their blood—such people are the real losers. Elder
Longqi was moved and nodded, "Your father is a hero. Those few words are very well spoken." Hearing
Elder Long Qi's recognition of his father, Long Chen felt more gratified than any words of praise, because Long Tianxiao had always been his idol since childhood. In his heart, Long Tianxiao was a hero just like the Great Emperor.
Although Long Tianxiao's cultivation was not high, he had now retired and devoted himself to brewing wine at the Wine God Palace, his broad-mindedness and insight had always been deeply admired by Long Chen.
"Thank you for your praise, senior. Long Chen has been influenced by my father since childhood, and his teachings have never been forgotten for a moment." Long Chen thanked him.
"As expected, like father, like son. A mere worldly marquis managed to nurture a genius that could shake heaven and earth. It was truly unexpected."
Although your later work was all thanks to your efforts, I believe your father had a huge influence on you. No wonder I heard you hardly encountered any bottlenecks on your cultivation path. It turns out your mind was already clear and free of confusion. Elder Longqi showed a hint of admiration on his face.
"Indeed, although my father is not a true cultivator, he has an extremely clear understanding of life. Even when I entered the cultivation world, I often listened to his teachings." Long Chen said modestly.
"Rumors say you're not your parents' biological child, and with their talent, it's impossible for them to produce a genius like you. But they don't realize that talent is important, but spiritual faith is even more crucial.
Poor aptitude can be compensated for later, but with strong spiritual faith, life will always bloom with miracles. Historically, such situations have occurred before—it's truly rare and unusual. Elder Longqi shook his head, but in that instant, Long Chen sensed a mysterious aura spying on his body.
Long Chen knew that Elder Long Qi was quietly probing him, since Long Chen's background was indeed suspicious.
As the saying goes, dragons beget dragons, phoenixes beget phoenixes. One is a worldly marquis with only the Tendon Transformation stage, the other an ordinary woman who doesn't even understand cultivation, yet she produced a genius like Long Chen. This really defies common logic.
As Long Chen's cultivation grew higher and he swept through his opponents, more and more people began to suspect that his background might not be so simple. However, such things could only be speculation, with no evidence at all.
Now that Elder Longqi was mentioning this matter, it was clearly a test. Long Chen shook his head and said, "
Actually, my constitution is indeed quite ordinary. When my mother gave birth to me, an accident caused me to be born prematurely, and I was born very frail. Surviving was very difficult."
In my youth, I was frail and sickly, bullied by many people, but it wasn't a bad thing—at least it strengthened my willpower.
Perhaps it was a matter of accumulated effort and a breakthrough. The real turning point in my luck was actually in the Jiuli Secret Realm, when, by chance, I obtained a Fate-Changing Heavenly Pearl.
This Dzi bead completely changed my constitution and turned my fate around.
But you are absolutely right about one thing: without my father's guidance, I might have lost my true nature due to my surging power. You could say my father left me an invaluable spiritual treasure. After
Long Chen finished speaking, he immediately felt the faint force around him slowly fade away. Clearly, Elder Long Qi wanted to know if Long Chen had been lying just now.
With his cultivation, trying to observe Long Chen's mental fluctuations, blood flow, breathing rhythm, and other conditions should not have been detected at all.
However, the Nine-Star Overlord Body Technique Long Chen cultivated was extremely sensitive to any voyeurism; even well-intentioned peeping could detect it.
Perhaps seeing that Long Chen showed no sign of emotion and thought he wasn't lying, Elder Longqi silently withdrew his observation.
"That's right, talent and aptitude can be traced, but spiritual power has always been a difficult problem that the cultivation world cannot comprehend.
Cultivation is essentially holding a ruler, constantly measuring the unknown world; measurement always has errors, and sometimes mistakes may occur.
Therefore, in the cultivation world, many theories are constantly being overturned and overturned. Many things are unpredictable; the more you learn, the more ignorant you feel. Elder Longqi said.
"Senior, you are truly a master. Your magnanimity and wisdom are truly admirable." Long Chen sincerely admired him. Regardless of whether Elder Longqi was friend or foe, his wisdom was truly admirable. This was what truly matched the demeanor of a master Long Chen had in mind.
Elder Longqi chuckled and said, "You're so young, yet you have such cultivation, yet you remain neither arrogant nor impatient—truly admirable." "
I have no choice; I don't have the right to be arrogant. If I had a powerful backer, my tail would be held high like this." Long Chen said with a smile.
Elder Longqi's expression turned serious as he said:"Let's get to the point. The passage to the Star Domain Divine Realm has been completed. It will open in three days.
Back then, our Long family promised you that everyone in your Tianlong Legion would be qualified to enter the Star Domain Divine Realm, but now things have changed a bit. Long
Chen's face instantly darkened. What's going on? What, is the Long family going back on their word?
"Don't misunderstand, your Dragonblood Legion's qualification to enter the Star Domain Divine Realm hasn't changed." Seeing Long Chen's grim expression, Elder Longqi hurriedly said.
"What kind of change is that?" Hearing that it wasn't a revocation of qualification, Long Chen felt relieved and asked casually.
"Originally, constructing passages to the Star Domain Divine Realm was extremely difficult, but perhaps because the dark age had arrived and space began to shrink, the barrier in the Star Domain Divine Realm became thinner, making it easier to construct passages.
Originally, there was a limit on the number of people, but now there is no need to restrict it, so I apologize for the notice—this was indeed an accident. Elder Longqi said helplessly.
According to previous agreements, any sect faction could enter the Star Domain Divine Realm with a maximum of five hundred spots.
Therefore, Long Chen's more than ten thousand Dragonblood Warriors could enter the Star Domain Divine Realm, making countless forces envious and causing a huge stir within the Divine Clan.
Because of this, the Divine Clan held several rounds of reviews due to disagreements, especially the Ye family, who consistently opposed the Long family's strategy, believing it was unfair. As a result, the two families clashed fiercely.
But now, with the limit lifted, this unexpected incident was both amusing and exasperating. It was like Long Chen had spent three days resisting the Yin-Yang Realm for three days in vain. Even if he hadn't resisted, he could have entered the Star Domain Divine Realm. This was indeed a bit of a trap.
But this was indeed an accident, not that the Long family intended to set Long Chen up. Long Chen could only accept helplessly:
"Alright, let's just say fate played a joke on us."
"This mix-up is truly speechless, but an accident is an accident—no one can do anything about it.
How about this: after all, this matter started because of my Long family. Our Long family is giving you a crystal card worth 300,000 points. You can go to the treasury to exchange for anything you want—consider it a little emotional compensation for us. Elder Long said as he handed Long Chen a crystal card.
"This is all an accident, so how could I possibly accept it?" Long Chen apologized, but the crystal card had already been pocketed. The Long family was wealthy and generous—why not want it?
Three hundred thousand points was an astonishing sum. Most importantly, he could exchange items for items at the Divine Clan's treasury. Long Chen happened to be there to see the Divine Clan's treasury.
"Go ahead. The Star Domain Divine Realm is full of dangers. The divine clan's treasury must contain what you need." Elder Longqi said.
Long Chen took the crystal card and, led by the Long family disciples, took the teleportation array to leave the Long family, heading straight for the Divine Clan's treasury.
The teleportation array lit up. Long Chen had just stepped out when a group of people entered. Seeing the man, Long Chen didn't hesitate at all, raising his hand and slapping him hard:
"I told you not to wear your hat."
