Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts

Chapter 5537: Wind God Incantation

“wan-er, where did you just come from?” long chen asked.

in a single day, tang wan-er seemed transformed. there were powerful divine energy fluctuations radiating from her, sacred and noble, much like feng xinyue’s aura.

“master just transmitted a secret art to me. i just came back from her place. what is it?” tang wan-er replied, confused.

she glanced at long chen and yue zifeng’s startled expressions and instinctively touched her face, as if trying to discern what had changed.

“a secret art?” long chen’s voice held a trace of surprise as a thought flickered through his mind.

“what is it?” asked tang wan-er.

“nothing. you’re just particularly beautiful today. your holy light almost blinded us,” long chen teased with a grin.

“stop spouting nonsense. what were you really looking at just now?” tang wan-er demanded, narrowing her eyes.

“cough, you two chat. i'll exchange blows with the silver hair void crusher,” said yue zifeng, directly taking his leave.

“speak. what did you notice?” tang wan-er’s tone turned serious, as she sensed that long chen was holding something back.

“hmm, what kind of secret art did your master teach you?” asked long chen, evading her question.

“it’s called the wind god incantation. but she only taught me the technique, not how to use it. i’ve managed to condense a divine rune, but i have no idea how to activate it. she made me leave before explaining anything further,” tang wan-er said with a hint of irritation.

her master had been more mysterious than usual lately, often withholding explanations. this change left tang wan’er feeling unsettled and inadequate.

“if she didn’t tell you, it’s because she couldn’t,” long chen said. “some things can only be comprehended through personal insight, not taught.”

“but i don’t understand anything!” tang wan-er cried out, feeling herself to be too stupid.

she could tell that long chen knew something, but just like feng xinyue, he was acting mysterious.

long chen smiled warmly. “wan-er, the dragonblood legion has seven thousand warriors. every one of them is a powerhouse in their own right. but have you ever seen me personally teach them things?”

this was precisely why feng xinyue had instructed long chen to help these experts grow stronger. raising them also amplified tang wan-er’s strength.

long chen couldn’t help but compare tang wan-er’s effortless advancement to wilde’s. he had always been envious of wilde’s simple path—just eating to grow stronger. but tang wan-er’s situation was even more enviable. she didn’t even need to lift a finger; others could cultivate for her. if she were a man, he might die of envy.

no wonder god cultivators look down on immortal cultivators. they really have a natural advantage. most of the hatred immortal cultivators feel toward god cultivators probably boils down to envy, long chen thought.

faith energy was a cheat-like resource. whoever it concentrated on could ascend to godhood, even if they were a pig.

a legacy built on trillions of years of devotion created a reservoir of power that immortal cultivators couldn’t hope to match. unlike god cultivators, immortal cultivators had to rely on themselves, with even the most profound inheritances serving only as stepping stones. their progress depended solely on their hard work and comprehension.

as long chen observed tang wan-er’s relaxed expression, a wry smile crossed his face. his journey had been a grueling climb, step by painstaking step. yet now, it seemed she might surpass him effortlessly.

“fuck, i’ll kill them!” a furious roar suddenly shattered his thoughts.

one of the heavenly geniuses had entered the seven treasure space repeatedly, only to be slaughtered each time without seeing his opponent. fueled by rage, he charged back in again.

“i refuse to believe this!” another heavenly genius followed suit, unable to accept his defeat.

through constant combat, these sealed heavenly geniuses were evolving, though they remained oblivious to their rapid transformation.

feng xinyue’s earlier words echoed in long chen’s mind. these individuals were extraordinary, and under the relentless pressure of the seven treasure space, they were being forged into unparalleled warriors.

are all these people destined to serve wan-er?

long chen’s heart trembled as the thought struck him. if that were true, it meant that this plan had been set in motion countless eons ago.

three days later, the seven treasure colored glass tree began to dim. reluctantly, long chen withdrew it, allowing everyone to rest. after a full day of rest, the tree’s radiance was restored, and long chen summoned it once more.

this time, there was no need for long chen to say anything. like maniacs, these experts charged in, continuing to temper themselves.

half a month later, a thunderous sound ripped through the air, abruptly halting their cultivation.
