"Brother Tianxiang, you truly deserve to be the sect leader. For the sake of the bigger picture, you don't stoop to the level of the juniors. This magnanimity truly earns Yifan's admiration." Xue Yifan chuckled.
When the ancestor of Qianyuan Sect backed down, Xue Yifan gave him a way out, sparing him from embarrassment. It was also a way to keep his face polished and avoid being looked down upon by the younger generation.
"Talents emerge in every generation. Old age is old age; you can't judge people accurately. Defeat is defeat. There's nothing more to say. The Moluo Star Domain was meant to belong to the young; if it's time to step aside, then it's time to step aside." The ancestor of Qianyuan Sect shook his head and said.
The words of the Qianyuan Sect ancestor moved countless people. Previously, people thought this old man had a bad temper and was stubborn, but unexpectedly, after such humiliation, he learned to reflect. Indeed, few people could do that.
Even Long Chen was taken aback. Just by looking at his appearance, you could tell this old man was stubborn—someone who was determined to make up his mind and refuse to turn back. Long Chen hadn't expected him to back down, which made Long Chen feel a bit embarrassed.
"I was rude earlier, so please don't hold it against me, senior." Long Chen said.
"Blaming my ass. I've been the boss all my life, and I can't carry burdens myself. If others do, I feel uncomfortable and it makes me look incompetent.
With such a narrow mind, how could he accomplish great things? Back then, I was fortunate enough to follow the predecessor Xia Guhong, and even now I am still immersed in the glory of those days. In old age, I always think of the glory of the past. The ancestor of Qianyuan Sect shook his head and sighed.
"Senior, you once followed Brother Xia Guhong?" Long Chen exclaimed in surprise.
"You... Do you know Senior Gu Hong? "This time, it was the ancestor of Qianyuan Sect who was surprised.
"That's my big brother, one of the people I respect most." Long Chen nodded.
"Damn, you should've said so earlier! You and Senior Gu Hong were brothers. Why the hell would I oppose you? And it made me lose face. The ancestor of Qianyuan Sect said angrily and frustrated.
It turned out that this ancestor of the Qianyuan Sect was a contemporary of Xia Guhong, once a warrior in his demon-slaying corps, and greatly admired him.
Later, Luo Qingying was killed, and after Xia Guhong fought his way into the demon realm, he disappeared without a trace, and the Demon-Slaying Legion was disbanded.
At that time, he had been depressed for a long time, but later had a stroke of luck, his cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, and he eventually founded the Qianyuan Sect and became the ancestor.
He was reclusive, aloof, and hot-tempered, believing that, aside from Xia Guhong, he was the most contributor to the Moluo Star Domain, so he always considered himself the leader of the region.
Over time, he became the undisputed leader in the Moluo Star Domain. However, this time the enemy was powerful, and he didn't want to confront them head-on, but couldn't come up with a good solution. As a result, the Tianlong Divine Armor Academy announced it would take the lead in this war. In his view, this was a provocation to him, so he came.
Now that he learned that Long Chen and Xia Guhong had such a deep connection, the ancestor of Qianyuan Sect was both angry and pleased. He was angry that Long Chen hadn't spoken up earlier, causing him embarrassment, but relieved that he knew Xia Guhong was still alive.
With the ancestor's stance, the others had no objections. Being able to let disciples cultivate the Planetary River Sky Technique without any conditions was an unimaginable grace.
They couldn't quite understand Long Chen's intentions. Logically, if Long Chen wanted to lead the Tianlong Divine Armor Academy to dominate the Moluo Star Domain, he would only need to endure for ten years and train a large number of starry sky warriors. Honestly, who in the entire human race would dare defy him?
But Long Chen made the Galaxy and Firmament Technique public. What exactly was he trying to do? No one could understand.
However, one thing they all understood was that if they didn't join the Tianlong Divine Armor Academy camp, their disciples would be unable to cultivate the Planetary River Sky Technique, and the gap in the entire sect would be rapidly widened.
If they chose to watch from the sidelines, although Long Chen said he wouldn't make things difficult for them, if the human race truly won, they would inevitably settle this score with them in the future, and they wouldn't dare do so.
The ancestor of Qianyuan Sect was the strongest sect in the Moluo Star Domain. After such humiliation, he had joined directly. How could they hesitate? They all expressed their willingness to join.
"Long Chen, you better keep your eyes open. Some people have secretly been involved with the Luo family. I didn't have time to deal with them, so I kept them here until now. You need to be careful—many people join, not necessarily on the human side—they're all for the Galaxy Sky Technique." At this moment, the ancestor of Qianyuan Sect suddenly spoke. As soon as he spoke, many people's expressions became somewhat awkward.
Long Chen smiled slightly and said, "No matter. Since I dare to do this, I have my own confidence."
Just remember two things: first, I, Long Chen, never bother to lie; second, I never go back on my word.
I don't care what attitude you have when you come here. Many times, life is a gamble: if you bet right, you soar; if you bet wrong, you will be doomed.
We know nothing about the future, and no one knows if their bet will be right, but since we have bet, we must accept the outcome and take responsibility for our actions.
Since you have agreed to join us and swear never to betray humanity, that is enough. If you break your oath, retribution will come faster than you think. Long
Chen's voice was calm, yet filled with strong confidence. His calm control over everything was so calm that even Xue Yifan and the other older generation powerhouses were moved.
"No wonder I have the right to call Senior Guhong a brother. Very good. With my old bones, Zhao Tianxiang, I can fight again. It's just a pity that none of the brothers who fought back then are gone. It's okay, I will fight on the battlefield in their place, hahaha!" The ancestor of Qianyuan Sect laughed heartily. Though old, his spirit remained undiminished.
In fact, the ancestor of Qianyuan Sect had a bad temper, but his character wasn't bad. Deep down, he was a person of responsibility. This made Long Chen feel quite embarrassed, and taking him against him seemed a bit much.
Guo Ran felt a bit embarrassed too. He glanced at the half-step Divine Sovereign expert he'd slapped, and seeing that the man wasn't looking at him at all, he finally felt a bit relieved.
"Starting today, the Demon-Slaying Legion is re-established, with Guo Ran as its commander-in-chief.
Under the Supreme Commander are eight legion commanders. The legion commander has not yet been decided, but anyone who condenses a starry sky phenomenon and becomes a strong Star Warrior has a chance to compete.
All sects, sects, and major families can recommend their Divine Lord-level disciples to cultivate the Planetary River Sky Technique. I want to assemble a Galaxy Legion of 100,000 people within a month. Long Chen said.
"Dean Long Chen, why is it only allowed at the Divine Lord Realm, but not at the Immortal King Realm?" Someone asked in confusion.
"You can also cultivate at the Immortal King Realm, but you've already missed the golden period. The difficulty is a hundred times that of a Divine Lord disciples, and one wrong move could lead to body explosion and death—extremely dangerous.
At the Four Extremes Realm, cultivating the Planetary River Vast Sky Technique is not recommended because the body is too immature and can easily damage one's foundation.
And Divine Lord disciples are just right. Even if they fail to cultivate, as long as they don't forcibly condense the phenomenon, there won't be much danger. Long Chen explained.
Everyone nodded, understanding the reason, but some Immortal King experts were dissatisfied and planned to secretly give it a try.
"Today, I have one very important matter to announce."
Long Chen looked at everyone, his expression serious: "When you return, catch all the spies within the major factions." "
