On the golden invitation, he listed specific details about the date, schedule, and venue of the Kyushu Conference, and also required the academy to fill in the number of contestants and send them back for arrangements.
"Two months left, so soon?" Long Chen was taken aback.
Time always slips away quickly in the midst of tension and unnoticed. Unconsciously, there are only two months left until the start, and for Long Chen, time is running out.
"Yes, it's very fast. Your cultivation is improving too slowly. At this level, to be honest, we don't really recommend you participate in the martial arts tournament." Master Dongming looked at Long Chen and shook his head slightly.
At the Jiuzhou Conference, prodigies gathered. At that time, all the prodigies would raise their cultivation to the peak of Divine Fire, but now there were only two short months.
Long Chen was still just entering the Divine Fire Realm, not even reaching the first level, and every time the Divine Fire Realm advanced by one level, his combat power underwent a huge change.
After all, the Jiuzhou Conference was filled with prodigies, countless prodigies, and even the first generation who had awakened. Long Chen's cultivation level was low, so he suffered greatly. At the Jiuzhou Conference, the combat power of people like Zhao Wuzheng, Xie Tianyu, and Lü Chunyang was only considered second-rate powerhouses.
Even Bai Shishi can only be considered first-rate for now. Only the first generation who has awakened their bloodline can be considered top-tier powerhouses. No matter how hard Long Chen fights over the past two months, he still can't catch up in cultivation.
According to Master Dongming's instructions, Long Chen should focus on preparing for the Dao Debate Tournament, and forget about the martial arts tournament.
"Master Dongming, if you say that, be careful not to cause trouble for you at the War God Hall." The head of the Discipline Institute said with a smile.
Master Dongming felt awkward and hurriedly said to Long Chen, "Of course, I'm just making suggestions. The final decision is up to you." Clearly,
Master Dongming felt his words were a bit inappropriate. After all, the competition was arranged by the War God Hall. If he advised Long Chen to give up, the War God Hall might be displeased, and he didn't want to take the blame.
Long Chen smiled slightly and said, "Senior, you flatter me. I know what I'm doing. But since I've caught up, I can't miss it."
Victory is victory, defeat is defeat; if you are defeated, you may see more of your own shortcomings, which may not necessarily be a bad thing. "
Very good. If you have this kind of mindset, we can rest assured." Master Dongming said.
"By the way, Senior Yunyang, could you introduce me to the senior who healed my wounds? I want to thank her properly and ask her some questions." Long Chen said to Master Yunyang.
The person treating Long Chen was Master Yunyang's senior sister, who seemed to hold a high status in the academy and rarely showed herself. If it weren't for Master Yunyang's reputation, she would never treat anyone.
This person was a powerful wood-element expert. Long Chen had originally thought that the divine will of the Great Brahma Heaven could not be erased by external force, but unexpectedly, she had touched it so easily.
Moreover, within her wood-element power, Long Chen sensed the most primal wood-element power. He thought of a possibility and wanted to ask Master Yunyang for an introduction.
Master Yunyang brought Long Chen to a cave residence. After reporting briefly and receiving permission, Long Chen finally entered.
The middle-aged woman looked at Long Chen, a faint smile in her eyes, as if she could see through his thoughts:
"What's wrong?" Want some kind of benefit? Long
Chen was caught off guard by his thoughts and was momentarily stunned, then said, "I believe your wood power should be a kind of primordial power of heaven and earth trees, so I wanted to ask if it is possible to obtain such a primordial item." The
woman smiled slightly and said, "You're amazing. Just by healing your wounds, you can sense the difference in my wood power."
My wood power is acquired wood power. When I was young, I had a chance encounter and obtained a Jianmu Divine Fruit. Using its essence as a catalyst, I transformed my bloodline and awakened the Jianmu Divine Radiance. Therefore, my wood power is different from other wood cultivators. "
Jianmu Shenhui, ... You are actually a first-generation person? Long Chen was startled. Only the First Generation could awaken divine radiance, and he hadn't expected this person to be a First Generation.
The woman nodded and said, "I can barely count as a first-generation postnatal cultivator. By the way, after I absorbed the Jianmu Divine Fruit, I still kept the core."
Although the fruit core contains four divine fruit seeds containing essence, taking one can bring the dead back to life and the bones of the dead. If you want one, I can give you one; if you want more, you can't give it to me. "
One is enough." Long Chen was overjoyed; he hadn't expected this senior to be so generous, directly giving him a seed of the Jianmu Divine Fruit.
The Jianmu Divine Tree was a sacred tree from ancient times. Its wood was harder, surpassing gold and iron. In ancient times, the wooden spears made from the Jianmu Divine Tree were the most commonly used weapons among people at that time.
However, the Jianmu Divine Tree grows extremely slowly—it blooms every thirty million years, bears fruit every thirty million years, and only takes thirty million years for the fruit to ripen.
From birth to fruition takes ninety million years. In modern times, the Jianmu Divine Tree is almost invisible, nearly extinct outside, and the remaining Jianmu Divine Tree is regarded as a supreme treasure by some sects, protected and kept secret.
Long Chen obtained a seed the size of a peanut, looking like a cashew, radiating endless vitality. Holding it in his hand, the life fluctuation made his pores open and his whole body relaxed, as if his lifespan was increasing. This was the seed of the Jianmu Divine Tree.
After thanking the senior profusely, Long Chen left and returned to his residence, carefully planting the seed in the chaotic space.
"Buzz" Long Chen's
108,000 stars swirled, divine power continuously pouring into the chaotic space. The rare herbs within the chaotic space grew wildly, rapidly blossoming and bearing fruit, flowers blooming and withering, as if time had sped up by tens of thousands of times.
After mastering the power of the divine fire, Long Chen could finally activate the Chaos Pearl, causing the rare herbs inside to grow rapidly. After an hour, sweat appeared on Long Chen's forehead. Activating the Chaos Pearl on such a large scale was extremely exhausting.
To Long Chen's delight, the Jianmu Divine Fruit finally took root and sprouted, sprouting a tiny, tender shoot that grew straight upward like chopsticks, standing tall like an arrow. When it reached over a zhang tall, it was already as thick as an egg, yet it remained straight without any branches or leaves, which was quite strange.
Long Chen broke the sapling in two, only to find it heavy in his hand, as tough as steel. After all, this was just the most fragile sprout, yet it possessed such immense strength, which made Long Chen even more surprised.
Long Chen broke them into sticks about half a foot long and stuck them into the soil. After half an hour, a bright smile appeared on his face as tiny saplings sprouted from the sticks.
This cycle repeated, as Long Chen kept planting the Jianmu Divine Tree, working for a whole day and night. His chaotic space was filled with saplings.
"Damn it, this time I'm not afraid of getting hurt anymore. When they grow up, who else am I afraid of?" Long Chen clenched his fist, his eyes full of excitement. Once they blossomed and bore fruit, Long Chen would be as good as having immortality.
After planting the Jianmu Divine Tree, Long Chen gained a handful of fine roots—the divine whiskers of the Divine Beard Narcissus, the most precious divine medicine.
"Heh heh, two months—it's time to improve your cultivation." Long Chen took out the pill furnace and got busy again.
