he was definitely doomed. just condensing the embryonic form of his original runes took three hundred yuan spirit stones.
his realm had only just stabilized, and he couldn’t even count as having reached the first heavenstage of foundation forging. that required condensing his original runes nine times and stacking them against each other before advancing.
stabilizing one’s realm after breaking through was the easiest part of that realm, and the one that required the least energy. to advance to the first heavenstage would require several times the energy.
just that would be nothing, but then he would have to advance to the second heavenstage, and so on and so on. all this required more and more energy.
long chen didn’t dare to imagine how many yuan spirit stones he would need to advance all the way to the twelfth heavenstage.
having obtained one billion yuan spirit stones in the immemorial path, he had thought that he would be able to advance without worry in the foundation forging realm. in fact, he had thought he would have so many leftover yuan spirit stones that he would be able to exchange them for even more resources.
now he wasn’t at all confident that one billion yuan spirit stones would be enough for him to reach the peak of foundation forging.
a rune appeared in long chen’s palm. this was his original rune. it was circular, with tiny little ripples inside it. it seemed like a pearl packed with specks of dust, yet also like a cosmos filled with endless stars.
the rune unleashed a gentle light that wasn’t at all berserk. and yet, it caused the space around it to twist, as if the world around it was water. it contained an indescribable rhythm.
“is this my original rune, or my core rune? will i be able to use divine abilities through it? why can’t i sense anything at all?” long chen stared blankly at this rune.
closing his eyes, he tried to sense it. this rune seemed to be in a strange state of slumber, and he was unable to form a resonance with it.
“although it’s in a dormant state, it’s able to supply me with endless energy, and each one of them is absorbing the outside world’s energy to nourish itself. now i don’t just have to rely entirely on my four qi seas for energy.”
that was what made long chen the most excited. now, he not only had four qi seas of energy, but he also had 108,000 acupuncture points full of energy.
putting away his original rune, long chen smiled. with these 108,000 acupuncture points, he was filled with confidence.
leaving his seclusion, he saw that the majority of the dragonblood legion was no longer on crouching dragon mountain. after asking around, he heard that they had all gone to the xuantian tower in order to comprehend the xuantian catalog.
the xuantian catalog was normally only opened to foundation forging disciples. they only had one chance, and whether or not they could grasp it was up to themselves.
however, because the amount of space was limited, many people had to line up, and so a portion of the dragonblood legion remained at home.
having just advanced to foundation forging and consolidated their realm, they needed some time to adapt to their newfound power. it wasn’t advisable to immediately start fighting, so they were quite bored now.
tang wan-er was gone to comprehend the xuantian catalog. rank five celestials didn’t need to line up, so gu yang, song mingyuan, li qi, and guo ran had also gone over.
in the tribulation, guo ran had lost half his life, but he was an unkillable cockroach. through some incredible dogshit luck, he had condensed a special original rune.
“sorry...” long chen awkwardly apologized.
“fool, what do you have to be sorry for? i feel very happy to be here with you.” meng qi smiled, her eyes full of her deep love.
looking at meng qi’s sincere smile, long chen felt even more ashamed. he owed his women far too much, so much that he would never be able to pay it back in his lifetime.
he wanted to promise something, but he suddenly found he couldn’t. there was nothing he could promise right now. he wasn’t even able to solve the mystery of his origins, nor did he even know what enemies he was facing. there was also that voice in his dreams that urgently pressed him on, like a constant stone on his heart making it hard for him to breathe.
“long chen, don’t blame yourself. we chose to accompany you on our own. whether you ascend to the heavens or fall to hell, whether you become a god or devil, we will still accompany you. in truth, wan-er and i both feel happy. in comparison, i’m sure xiaoqian, zhiqiu, and chu yao feel the worst. we’re all working hard so we can reunite as soon as possible and fulfill your desire.” toward the end, meng qi’s face became incredibly alluring like peach blossoms in bloom.
long chen involuntarily felt a fire ignite in his heart. looking at meng qi, he reached out to grab her waist.
“don’t, there are too many people here!” meng qi jumped, hastily forbidding him.
“how shameless to do such a thing in a public place with so many people. do you think the xuantian dao sect is your home?” just at this moment, a long-faced man with a few pockmarks on his face coldly shouted from nearby.
long chen was immediately infuriated, while meng qi was too embarrassed to look. long chen turned to see that the person talking was a disciple from the previous generation. his cultivation base had reached the late foundation forging realm, and the heavenly dao runes around him had six colors. he was a rank six celestial.
but his aura was clearly turbulent, showing that he had only just advanced to the sixth rank. he was not yet able to perfectly control his new heavenly dao energy.
long chen recognized him. he was someone who had once stood behind gao xianyang. the reason long chen remembered him was because of his face.
not just anyone was capable of growing such a long face. it was like a brick, so it’d be strange if he didn’t remember it.
however, long chen clearly recalled that he had only been a rank five celestial back then. now he had advanced.
this brick-faced expert had made quite a few points in the last battle. he spent all those points on undergoing the heavenly tower blessing.
this heavenly tower blessing was similar to the xuantian blessing the inner sect disciples had been given when they first joined the inner sect. but it was stronger as this blessing was focused on a single disciple. there was a certain chance that the disciple would be able to condense a new heavenly dao rune and advance their celestial rank.
the cost of undergoing the heavenly tower blessing was extremely terrifying, both for the sect and the disciple. this person had spent ten years of savings to get this opportunity.
and he had actually succeeded, inflating his confidence. today, he had just been thinking of buying a kind of heaven consolidating pill to stabilize his heavenly dao energy, but instead he ended up running into long chen and meng qi acting all lovey-dovey. he was jealous and envious, and he immediately spouted some vile words.
“what are you looking at? sluts, fuck off,” sneered the brick-faced man, spitting on the ground.
meng qi’s expression changed, not because she was angry, but because she felt something bad was about to happen.
dong!
long chen’s gaze was cold as a drop of his blood landed on his badge. the sound of a bell resounded throughout the xuantian dao sect. he had initiated a life and death challenge.
