"The territory of the Divine Clan is really vast, probably not smaller than the Tianwu Continent. I even suspect this is the Great World, while the Tianwu Continent is the Small World." The flying boat sped forward, watching the endless mountains retreat, and Long Chen deliberately sighed.
Sure enough, as soon as Long Chen finished speaking, Shen Chengfeng shook his head and said, "The Divine Clan is still a small world. The Tianwu Continent is incomplete because it's incomplete, so you think it's small." "
So, does that mean Tianwu Continent isn't a complete world?" Long Chen asked.
"Yes, the Tianwu Continent is no longer a complete star; it has shrunk to less than one percent of its original size." Shen Chengfeng didn't notice Long Chen was deliberately trying to get him out.
"Then it seems that battle in ancient times truly destroyed heaven and earth." Long Chen sighed.
The battle in ancient times was called the War of the Gods. After that battle, the Tianwu Continent became incomplete. After the war, the living beings of the Tianwu Continent began to recuperate, and then the first Great Dark Age arrived, followed by the second and third.
Every time the Great Dark Age arrives, it brings enormous losses to the Tianwu Continent. Countless ancient books and legacies are lost or destroyed, making history increasingly blurred.
Nowadays, much history cannot be verified; it can only be judged by people themselves. Whether it is a story or history is a matter.
But Long Chen believed that the Divine Clan must have a relatively complete history, so he deliberately tested Shen Chengfeng.
"Yes, that's the War of the Gods. The battlefield of the gods can destroy the world. That's what true strength is." Shen Chengfeng also sighed in emotion.
However, Shen Chengfeng did not reveal anything about the War of the Gods. Logically, someone who knows some history would be willing to share some knowledge with others to prove their erudition.
But Shen Chengfeng didn't. I wonder if he didn't know so much, or if he had some taboos he couldn't say.
Just as Long Chen was thinking about probing Shen Chengfeng's mouth again, a stretch of high mountains appeared ahead, piercing the clouds like sharp swords piercing the sky.
The mountains were massive, all made of solid rock. On top of the rocks, caves appeared, looking both ancient and mysterious.
The flying boat they rode was thousands of zhang long, but facing the massive mountains, it seemed so insignificant.
"There are ninety-nine spiritual peaks in Tiandu, each supported by formations. Cultivating here is much faster than on the Tianwu Continent.
Moreover, the Heavenly Dao power here is even more profound and dense, making it more suitable for comprehension. So, for the geniuses of your Tianwu Continent, I truly admire you from the bottom of my heart.
At the starting line, you lost badly, but standing out in such a tough environment—you are the true geniuses.
If you had been born in our divine race and nurtured by our resources from a young age, your achievements would never be what they are now. Shen Chengfeng said with emotion.
Shen Chengfeng had such excellent conditions to be where he is today, but the strong warriors of the Tianwu Continent are far behind.
Long Chen smiled and said, "I've never believed in the idea of a starting line. Cultivation is a long-distance race, with no end at all. To put it bluntly, it's running until you die."
False starting, while it can make someone stand out, isn't necessarily a good thing. Constantly exhausting your talent may seem enviable, but in the industry, you have to pay for it eventually.
Go slower and accumulate more; learn to accumulate strength and unleash later; exert momentum midway, be faster and more stable. As long as you seize an opportunity, you can take off immediately. At
this point, Long Chen couldn't help but think of Ling Yunzi, the classic example of someone who had built up a solid foundation and then soared to new heights.
Shen Chengfeng smiled and said, "Long Chen is truly Long Chen. Just this magnanimity and wisdom alone are enough to make people admire him deeply." "
You're twisting the way to insult me. Everyone knows that I, Long Chen, don't know how to be stubborn. I get caught in the fire and often fall into some childish and ridiculous traps." Long Chen laughed too.
Hearing Long Chen say this, Shen Chengfeng burst out laughing. Thinking carefully, it seemed true—when Long Chen was provoked, he easily fell into others' traps. Simple tactics often hit Long Chen's weak spots.
As the flying boat approached the mountains and flew through them, Shen Chengfeng's expression grew slightly serious:
"Within the Divine Clan, there is a strict hierarchy of bloodlines and subordination. Long Chen, if you want to gain more benefits from the Divine Clan, you must learn to endure.
Because the divine race is extremely hostile toward outsiders. Today, you taught Lady Fengfei's guard a lesson, and that was because she didn't hold it against you. If Lady Fengfei intervenes, you'll be in trouble." "
What do you mean by trouble?" Will the benefits promised by the gods disappear? Am I expelled? Long Chen asked.
"If it's worse than these, you'll be defeated, and you might even be killed." Shen Chengfeng looked at Long Chen and said.
Long Chen was taken aback: "Oh?" So strong? Shen
Chengfeng sighed and said, "Although you might find it hard to accept, gradually you will understand that the foundation of the Divine Clan is truly terrifying."
Lady Fengfei comes from the Jiang family. As for the other two families, if you provoke someone, the Long family can still back you up, but the Jiang family—our Long family can't afford to offend them.
So after thinking it over, I feel I should remind you, lest you ruin your bright future. I believe that cooperating with the Long family is the key to your rise. "
Arrived."
At that moment, a huge mountain range appeared ahead of the flying boat, and the boat was parked halfway up the mountain, where there was a massive platform.
"Long Chen, you may go in. Elder Long is inside. I originally had other matters to attend to and was going to leave first, but since you're here, I think I might go with you." Shen Chengfeng smiled faintly, speaking with deep meaning.
Long Chen didn't understand what Shen Chengfeng meant. He walked down the steps into a large cave, which turned out to be a grand hall—ancient yet intact.
"Long Chen, it seems you really are busy, only coming at this hour." Long Chen had just stepped into the main hall when he heard Elder Long's voice.
Only then did Long Chen notice that in the main hall, Elder Long and another elder were standing nearby, while in the center chair sat a lean-faced elderly man.
This elderly man looked very refined, like an old scholar in a private school, giving off an extremely humble impression.
The old man was clearly sitting there, but Long Chen could not sense his presence, nor could he detect his aura. It was as if he had merged into heaven and earth, no longer existing.
"Above Tongming?"
Long Chen was startled. As expected, the Divine Clan had experts above Tongming. This old man's eyes were cloudy, showing no emotion, yet it seemed he could see through Long Chen in an instant.
This was a terrifying powerhouse, reaching heights Long Chen could not comprehend.
"Long Chen, right? Very good. In such a resource-poor place as the Tianwu Continent, to reach this place single-handedly, looking back at history, few have achieved this. No wonder even the Great Emperor treats you so youngly." The old man looked at Long Chen, his eyes full of approval.
"Thank you for your praise, senior. Perhaps my journey to where I am today is purely due to luck." Long Chen said modestly. In front of this powerful figure above Tongming, even Long Chen felt somewhat reserved.
"Luck? As far as I know, your luck has never been very good—it seems to be quite bad.
Young people don't need to deliberately suppress their brilliance. If one isn't reckless, youth will be wasted. If you should be arrogant, then be arrogant. Youth and sincerity are not a good thing; when your sharpness is exhausted, it means the path of martial arts is nearing its end. The old man smiled kindly, but his words carried a hidden secret.
"Thank you for your guidance, senior." Long Chen cupped his fists in thanks.
"Long Chen, let me introduce you. This is the Dragon Banner Elder of our Long family, and aside from the clan leader, he holds the most power." Elder Long spoke.
The so-called Dragon Banner Elder doesn't refer to this person as Long Qi, but rather a title for a privilege within the Long clan.
Under the Long clan chief, there are four Great Dragon Banner elders. These four Dragon Banner elders hold high positions and great power. If the four agree, they can veto the clan leader's decision.
Especially the Dragon Banner elder before them, who was the foremost among the four great Dragon Banner elders and held a very high status within the Long clan.
"Long Chen, I've already learned about your past. I really like your personality. That's how a person should be.
Now that the Great Dark Age has arrived, it is the time to unite and resist the alien races. Our Long family is willing to offer you some assistance.
The reason I called you here this time is partly to inform you that the Star Domain Divine Realm is about to open—at the fastest half a month, at the latest, within a month. You and your Dragon Blood Legion must be well prepared."
On the other hand, I want to see with my own eyes whether you are truly as talented and talented as Elder Long said. The result truly satisfies me."
On the other hand, the situation on the ancient battlefield is tense. Elder Long said you have extremely strong military talent, a talent for a commander.
Now that Shen Chengfeng has returned to request support, and you happened to come again, I want you to come with him. As for what you're doing, you know what to do." Elder Longqi smiled faintly.
"Is this asking me to command the Eighth Heavenly Dragon Legion?" Isn't this a bit of an exaggeration? I don't know the people, I don't know the environment, I know nothing about the enemy—what good am I doing if I go? Long Chen said, somewhat at a loss.
Long Chen knew that Elder Long Qi was testing Long Chen's command skills. After all, Elder Long had once said that Long Chen had performed excellently and would consider letting him command this dark battle.
"Difficult, not impossible, rare and precious. Go ahead, we await your good news." Elder Longqi said with a smile.
Everything happened so suddenly. They didn't mention anything about the Star Domain Divine Realm, but gave Long Chen a task first.
Long Chen walked out of the main hall looking completely confused. Outside, Shen Chengfeng was already waiting for him. Watching Long Chen and the others leave, Elder Long asked,
"How is this young man?"
"The look in this child's eyes reminds me of a person—just as wild, equally domineering, just as lawless. What a pity..."
Watching Long Chen leave in the direction he left, Elder Long Qi let out a long sigh. His cloudy eyes were filled with hatred. Elder Long and another elder exchanged a glance. They also remembered that person.
