"The Divine Clan members left after leaving their words, leaving behind a jade talisman." Que Yuzhu handed the jade talisman to Long Chen.
Long Chen glanced at it. It was a soul jade talisman, activated by his soul power, and a map appeared inside.
"The entrance to the Divine Clan is actually near the ancient battlefield?" Long Chen was taken aback.
The place marked on the map was actually not far east of the ancient battlefield.
The ancient battlefield is at the junction of the Eastern and Southern Profound Domains, separating the two domains. To enter the Southern Profound Domain, the Eastern Profound Domain must either circle around the sea via Tianwu or through the Central Profound Domain, because between these two domains, it is impossible to build a spatial passage in the middle area.
Back when Long Chen attended the Jade Pool Grand Ceremony at the Tianmu Divine Palace, he crossed the ancient battlefield. However, this path was extremely dangerous. If Long Chen hadn't been in a hurry, he wouldn't have taken this shortcut.
Long Chen had originally planned to visit Elder Long of the Divine Clan in a few days and inquire about matters in the Star Domain Divine Realm. Of course, there were even more important matters.
Now, all the warriors of the Dragonblood Legion were in seclusion, refining Ancient Essence Blood, with only Long Chen idling around.
Long Chen greeted Que Yuzhu and left. He didn't go straight to the Southern Profound Domain; he first went to Zheng Wenlong's place.
When Long Chen arrived, Zheng Wenlong handed over the seventeen rare medicines he had just collected for Long Chen and brought him some news: "Dan Valley has started selling twelfth-tier pills." Upon
hearing this news, Long Chen was not surprised. Dan Valley had always been secretive and well-hidden, while Yu Xiaoyun appeared reckless on the surface, but in reality, his thoughts were frighteningly deep.
As time passed, the foundation of Dan Valley began to surface bit by bit, and Long Chen was mentally prepared.
However, even selling twelfth-tier pills is definitely priceless and unavailable. They deliberately spread the news, selling a few pills to intimidate the enemy.
Among the people known in Dan Valley, Long Chen only believed that Dan Fairy had the strength to refine twelfth-tier pills, but he was certain these pills were definitely not made by Dan Xianzi.
As the top expert in Dan Valley, Dan Fairy should be focusing all her efforts on improving her cultivation and would not waste her precious time on alchemy.
These pills should be the Pill Valley's stock, and their quantity is absolutely limited. They deliberately released this news just to boost their prestige and prove that Pill Valley holds the highest status in the alchemical world.
"Long Chen, if you hadn't mentioned these twelfth-tier rare herbs before, I wouldn't have known they existed.
You could say these things are too niche. I've been trying my best lately and only managed to collect these. Zheng Wenlong said awkwardly.
It's not that Zheng Wenlong lacks strength, but on the Tianwu Continent, rare medicines of this level have long since disappeared.
And these rare medicines were all found by many ancient sects rummaging through chests and cabinets; they no longer knew what they were.
When Long Chen asked Zheng Wenlong to buy it, Zheng Wenlong didn't understand either. Long Chen still drew the shapes and features for him, and he bought according to these standards. In the end, he ended up receiving two items that seemed quite accurate, which were not twelfth-tier rare medicines at all, and he could only suffer a silent loss.
Of course, Long Chen said he could accept whatever he wanted. If he received a fake, it would be his. He didn't want Zheng Wenlong to waste too much time on screening. Right now, money wasn't important—what mattered was time.
He expressed gratitude to Zheng Wenlong. Although the rare herbs he had collected for Long Chen were not yet enough to refine a twelfth-tier pill, as time went on and they gradually gathered, they could eventually be refined.
If he really couldn't gather enough, Long Chen could find a way to replace some with twelfth-tier rare medicines. Although the quality of the pills would drop significantly, it was still better than having none at all.
After leaving Zheng Wenlong's place, Long Chen took the teleportation array and headed straight for the Southern Profound Domain. After several attempts, Long Chen discovered that the Tianwu Continent had become lifeless.
People began to become negative; the emperor did not appear, and they felt the chances of surviving this dark age were too low. Some lost the motivation to live and lost interest in anything.
In some places, riots broke out, but were suppressed by powerful forces. Under endless pressure, people could go mad.
When someone saw Long Chen passing by, many people rushed out and couldn't help but shout, "Senior Brother Long Chen, do you think we can get through this dark era?" Long
Chen passed by a teleportation array and immediately caused a sensation. Countless powerful figures rushed out and surrounded Long Chen tightly.
Their eyes looked at Long Chen, their hearts full of hope, hoping he would give them a definite answer.
In an instant, more and more people gathered, blocking the entire teleportation array. Long Chen couldn't escape even if he wanted to.
Long Chen smiled and said, "Why are you asking that?" "
We ... We want to know if we still need to keep trying... After all... Sigh. A disciple at the Mingxing Realm let out a long sigh.
"You really don't need to work hard anymore." Long Chen shook his head and said.
Hearing Long Chen's answer, countless people were instantly in despair. Was this a sign that Tianwu Continent had no hope?
"You're so passive, you've lost your true martial artists' true intentions. When a great war breaks out, people like you won't even qualify to go to the battlefield. Victory or defeat on Tianwu Continent has nothing to do with you. So, you might as well just coast around and wait to die." Long Chen waved his hand, signaling them to step aside; he had to hurry.
Someone caught the hidden meaning in Long Chen's words and asked in a trembling voice, "You mean there's still hope for Tianwu Continent?" "
Of course there's hope. Otherwise, why would I be running around without taking care of it at home? Alright, everyone move aside, I still have things to do.
You don't have to work hard, because in this world, you only live on your own.
As for me, there are many people around me worth protecting with my life. I have to work hard, I have to fight desperately. Long Chen pushed through the crowd and headed toward the teleportation array.
Long Chen's words seemed to reassure everyone, because lately there had been too much gossip. Some negative people kept spreading negative emotions, casting shadows over everyone's hearts.
"Senior Brother Long Chen, what should we do?" A young girl suddenly bravely blocked Long Chen's path, her eyes firm as she looked at him.
"Either cultivate hard and fight alongside us. You might die on the battlefield, becoming an unsung hero who sacrificed for the Tianwu Continent for billions.
Or just stay quiet and watch others fight desperately while you reap the rewards.
Then he told his descendants that his ancestors were useless—not cowardly or unfit to go to war. Long Chen said.
For a moment, everyone fell silent, their hearts filled with shame. Long Chen's words struck a weak spot for most of them—they were too cowardly, but fear of death was human nature. Though they were strong, under absolute pressure, they were just ordinary people.
"Senior Brother Long Chen, I will work hard in my cultivation. I hope that one day I can fight alongside you. Even if I die on the battlefield, I won't frown even once." The girl clenched her fists, a stubborn expression appearing on her face.
Long Chen looked at her cultivation level and saw that she was at the Tongming Realm, but her foundation was weak and clearly a rogue cultivator—the poorest among cultivators, with ... combat power. Very average.
The girl's face was dark, looking a bit like oneTomboy, Long Chen patted her on the shoulder and said,
"Your cultivation isn't high, but you can train; If your talent is poor, you can make up for it; But courage is often innate; it penetrates a person's soul and cannot be cultivated or compensated for.
Courage makes you brave, resilient, and fearless—this is the fundamental thing to becoming a truly powerful person.
Here, I have a pill for you. It will change your fate, but whether the future will be good or bad, no one knows. Long
Chen handed a pill to the young girl—a Tribulation Pill. As soon as it was presented, some people among the crowd who recognized pills couldn't help but cry out in surprise.
Top-grade Tribulation Pills—in this chaotic time, they were something that could drive people mad. Many people's eyes reddened, but with Long Chen around, no one dared to move.
The dark-skinned girl, born a wandering cultivator, didn't recognize pills of this level at all. Seeing that it was given by Long Chen, she accepted it with great care.
"Eat it, or else after I leave, you won't survive more than three breaths." Long Chen said.
Such a treasure—if Long Chen left, the people here would immediately start a bloody struggle. As darkness fell, everyone went mad—killing and looting had become commonplace.
The young woman swallowed the pill in one gulp. As soon as she did, runes swirled on her brow, and suddenly the void trembled, and as the power of the Heavenly Dao flowed, a strange phenomenon appeared behind her.
"Yantian Zhe"
"Originally just an eighth-rank Skywalker, he actually advanced to Yantian Practitioner, and the phenomenon is beginning to awaken... "
Oh my god, what kind of pill is this?"
For a moment, people exclaimed in shock, watching the girl in shock. They were nearly driven mad. This unremarkable guy was incredibly lucky, having gained Long Chen's favor and shot straight to the top.
The girl was also stunned. She had thought Long Chen had given her a pill to stabilize her foundation, but unexpectedly, it made her a Heaven Extension Practitioner all at once. Feeling the power of the Heavenly Dao, the phenomenon awakened automatically, and her mind went blank.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Long Chen, for your support. I ...," the young woman actually knelt down and bowed to Long Chen.
Long Chen pulled her up, not letting her kneel: "No need to thank me. Without pills, you might still survive, but once you go to the battlefield, your chances of surviving will be extremely slim." "
I'm not afraid. Even if I die, I'll die on the battlefield. Killing one alien is worth it; killing two is a win." The girl said.
After hearing the girl's words, many admired her backbone. As a man of seven feet, he was surprised that no woman had backbone.
Long Chen patted the girl's shoulder, turned around, and walked into the teleportation array, activating it.
"Senior Brother Long Chen, do you have confidence in this dark battle?" Seeing Long Chen about to leave, someone shouted anxiously.
"Confidence?" No. I, Long Chen, have never needed that thing. I think you shouldn't worry about me, but rather about my enemies. Long
Chen had already disappeared, but those confident words echoed through the void, making the powerful figures present seem to see light. A thought arose in their hearts:
"Senior Brother Long Chen, victory is certain."
