Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts

Chapter 5652: Five Dragon Blood Heaven Veins

The Dragon Sovereign’s voice resounded in Long Chen’s mind. “The human race’s heaven vein dragon qi requires condensing the karmic luck of heaven and earth, along with their sect’s karmic luck, their family’s karmic luck, their personal karmic luck, etc. They merge all the karmic luck with Heavenly Doyen energy to form their heaven veins. But for the dragon race, especially the sovereign dragon race, we are already symbols of karmic luck. Heaven vein dragon qi is even named after our race.”

“Heaven, earth, and man—there exists heaven veins, earth veins, and mortal veins. But all of them take dragon form. My sovereign dragon race is not just the ruler of the dragon race but also one of the commanders of karmic luck in this world. Although my race has declined, unless the nine heavens are destroyed, the karmic luck of heaven and earth must still take dragon form. However, I must warn you—while condensing your heaven veins, no matter what discovery or insight you gain, you cannot tell others of it. Otherwise, you will not just be harming them, but also yourself.”

Toward the end, the Primal Chaos Dragon Sovereign’s voice grew extremely severe.

“Disciple understands.”

Long Chen nodded. The moment he uttered those words, both he and the Primal Chaos Dragon Sovereign fell silent.

Calling himself “disciple” struck the Primal Chaos Dragon Sovereign in the softest part of its heart. In the era when it led the dragon race, it shook the heavens, yet for certain reasons, it had never taken a disciple to inherit its legacy.

Now, hearing Long Chen claim that title had an immense impact on it. The Dragon Sovereign had known Long Chen for a long time and was profoundly aware of his character. Long Chen was wildly arrogant and prideful—he laughed and joked on the surface, but his domineering nature was even greater than when the Dragon Sovereign was in its youth.

The Dragon Sovereign often sighed over the fact that Long Chen was a nine star heir. With his personality, he was the perfect inheritor of its legacy. Yet, the Dragon Sovereign had never lowered itself to vie for someone else’s disciple. Furthermore, Long Chen had just refused to abandon the nine stars.

Now, Long Chen had called himself its disciple on his own accord. The Dragon Sovereign found itself overwhelmed by emotion, unsure of what to say.

What kind of existence was the Primal Chaos Dragon Sovereign? If others knew it had been so affected by a single acknowledgment, wouldn’t that be embarrassing?

Long Chen himself was startled. In truth, he had long since regarded the Primal Chaos Dragon Sovereign as his master. Though it had never been spoken, the bond had always been there. It was just that neither of them had put it into words. Long Chen knew that the primal chaos Dragon Sovereign was most likely in an awkward position. After all, the Earth Cauldron had told him a little bit about it.

For an existence as lofty as the Dragon Sovereign, accepting a disciple carried weight. If Long Chen misunderstood its intentions, it would be a blasphemy to their relationship.

In reality, the Primal Chaos Dragon Sovereign had already seen Long Chen as a disciple, just as Long Chen had seen it as his master. Yet, due to various awkward circumstances, neither had been willing to pierce the veil between them.

Long Chen’s heart trembled. The moment he had begun to speak, a bone-chilling sensation had seized him. It felt as if some terrifying entity had locked onto him.

Yet the instant he shut his mouth, the feeling vanished, as if it had never been there.

“Disciple understands.”

Long Chen quickly apologized, cursing himself for his carelessness. The Dragon Sovereign had warned him so sternly, yet he had nearly made a grave mistake.

Seeing Long Chen apologize, the Dragon Sovereign stopped scolding him. Instead, it said, “Some secrets must remain unspoken. Until you reach a certain height, voicing them will mean certain death.”

Long Chen hastily nodded. After condensing the dragon blood heaven vein, he had sensed something peculiar and wanted to ask about it—but in his curiosity, he had forgotten the warning.

Despite his lingering doubts, he kept them to himself. Gazing up at the sky, a flash of comprehension flickered in his eyes, but he said nothing.

“Now, condense the second dragon blood heaven vein!” instructed the primal chaos Dragon Sovereign.

Long Chen did not delay. Following the same method, he started condensing his second dragon blood heaven vein. Long Chen’s new vein absorbed the Heavenly Doyen energy and karmic luck energy of heaven and earth rapidly. Thanks to the Emperor reverse scale’s stimulation, the next heaven vein rapidly grew.

In just two days, Long Chen had successfully condensed five dragon blood heaven veins. This progress left him overjoyed—it was practically cheating.

“Oh?”

Suddenly, Long Chen’s gaze snapped toward the Seven Treasure Colored Glass Tree. The next moment, his body vanished.
