Even walking down the street, you still feel the chilly wind and chill your spine, as if someone is blowing air behind your neck. The sensation makes your scalp tingle, as if the sky has suddenly darkened.
Long Chen looked in a certain direction, a divine light flashing in his eyes. After a moment, he said, "
It's gone."
"You saw it?" Bai Shishi and the others were shocked.
"Can't see, but I sense it." Long Chen shook his head.
Even Long Chen couldn't see him, making everyone even more uneasy. An invisible enemy was terrifying.
"What exactly is that?" Bai Shishi said in a trembling voice.
Long Chen shook his head: "I've never seen such a creature before—formless, shapeless, colorless, tasteless, as if it could completely merge into heaven and earth, imperceptible."
It should have brushed past us, heard our words, and casually replied. "
What did I just say?" Bai Shishi was so nervous she forgot what she had just said.
"Tell me, only a fool would believe it." Bai Xiaole said, trembling.
"Could he really be a ghost?" Everyone's scalp tingled, and all eyes turned to Long Chen.
"There's no need to be so afraid. The Ghost Dao is one of the Six Realms, but we know too little about them. Some people like to use the Ghost Dao to scare people, stirring inner fear, and teaching them reverence.
Besides, it doesn't mean us any harm. If it wants to kill us, I'll definitely sense it, so there's nothing to fear. Long Chen smiled faintly.
Long Chen suddenly remembered that in the mortal realm, he had once encountered a ghostly being. He had even bribed it with money to lead the way.
However, he had indeed been startled just now; the voice came so suddenly and without any warning.
At the same time, Long Chen recalled Fairy Tianhong's warning: this time, the appearance of Tianhong Colorful Flame would cause a huge sensation and might attract powerful beings from beyond the heavens.
And the 'outer world' she referred to wasn't just the Immortal Realm; there was also the dark world behind it. However, whether that being came from the Dark Realm was unknown.
Although Long Chen was startled, he felt no fear in his heart. With thunder and flames protecting him, he was not afraid of such beings.
However, Bai Shishi and Bai Xiaole seemed extremely afraid of ghosts and monsters, which affected their perception of danger, which was a problem.
Through further investigation, Long Chen learned that their fear of such beings was innate, said to be inherited from Bai Zhantang. As for why, it was said to involve secrets, but neither of them knew the details.
After saying this, Long Chen immediately remembered. No wonder when he fought Bai Zhantang, he always felt his aura was strange, as if a very strange aura was hidden within him. It seemed Bai Zhantang had secrets unknown to others. These people were not as simple as they appeared on the surface.
Back at their residence, Bai Shishi and Bai Xiaole felt a bit better. The place was extremely luxurious. From here, they could overlook most of the ancient city. Aside from the Rainbow Fairy statue, it was the tallest building, and Long Chen and the others were seated at the highest point.
It was clear that Tianhong Domain valued Long Chen greatly. Everything was free, and if they needed anything, just say the word and someone would handle it for them.
Being so polite made Long Chen feel very embarrassed, feeling that causing trouble here would be truly disgraceful.
"Everyone, stay focused and raise your state to its peak. When the Rainbow Flame appears, it will likely be a true battle of dragons and tigers." Long Chen said solemnly.
Long Chen pondered for a moment, then finally spoke part of what Fairy Tianhong had said to him, while keeping the key parts hidden, telling them that there might be powerful beings from beyond the heavens descending, and terrifying beings from the dark world might invade.
Long Chen told them to be mentally prepared, not to limit their enemies to the Immortal Realm, so they wouldn't be caught off guard by extraterrestrial powerhouses and dark beings.
"Now it's really lively. I just wonder if our people will come." Qin Feng said excitedly.
After ascending, everyone in the Dragon Blood Legion was scattered across the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. Now, after Fairy Tianhong's explanation, Long Chen finally understood just how vast the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths truly are.
Even if Huayun Trading Company were to spread the news across the nine heavens and ten lands, it would be unrealistic to spread the news to every corner of the world. Reassembling the Dragon Blood Legion would be a long and arduous task.
However, Long Chen believed that as he rose and his fame grew, sooner or later he would light up the world, and his fame would spread to every corner of the world.
Bai Shishi and the others began to focus on resting, keeping their energy and spirit at their peak, ready to face the challenge at any moment.
Long Chen began his closed-door cultivation, continuing to deduce the art of opening the heavens, calculating how to use the power of the Heavenly Dao to break through its obstacles, unleashing its full power without suffering backlash.
The hundred-eight thousand stars within Long Chen trembled, the divine fire ignited, and staring blankly at them, Long Chen kept pondering one question.
Ninety-nine percent of the power of the Heavenly Dao repelled him; the power that was hostile to him and beneficial to him was only a trace.
And when absorbing that trace of Heavenly Dao power, no matter how hard Long Chen tried, he would absorb part of the opposing Heavenly Dao power into his body. The hostile Heavenly Dao power would then destroy his power, causing backlash and severe harm to his body.
This opposing Heavenly Dao power, attached to that trace of Heavenly Dao power, cannot be eliminated no matter what. Once the hostile Heavenly Dao power is completely eliminated, then the Heavenly Dao power friendly to Long Chen will be gone.
In this way, he returned to his old path, and under the pressure of the Heavenly Dao, the power of the Heavenly Opening would be greatly diminished.
"Buzz"—
The power of the Heavenly Dao surged into Long Chen's body, like a river of mixed clarity and turbidity. No matter how hard Long Chen tried, he couldn't purify the river. The filthy parts could not be removed.
Long Chen tried countless methods, but none could harm those tainted parts. The hundred-eight thousand stars couldn't do anything to it.
Moreover, Long Chen couldn't command the chaotic space and couldn't use it to purify it. He tried to channel it into flesh and soul, but it still didn't work.
Long Chen had no choice but to channel the torrent into the chaotic space again. He understood that only chaotic space could purify it, but countless failures had taught him that how to control it was a real challenge.
This time, just as Long Chen was about to look for other methods, the three demon-eyed water lilies in the chaotic space suddenly moved. The filthy energy of the Heavenly Dao power was absorbed by them, and the muddy water instantly turned into clear water.
That clear power of the Heavenly Dao was entirely close to Long Chen's strength, and Long Chen nearly jumped up instantly.
"I see. The Demon-Eyed Water Lily is an evil creature; it needs evil energy to grow faster."
Long Chen noticed that the Demon-Eyed Water Lily had absorbed the corrupt power of the Heavenly Dao and had become thriving, becoming even more vigorous.
"Hahaha, it worked, it worked! From now on, the Heaven-Opening Technique can go all out." Long Chen laughed heartily, extremely excited.
He hadn't succeeded before because there were no Demon-Eyed Water Lilies in the chaotic space, but now they existedLong Chen and the Demon-Eyed Water Lily each got what they needed, supporting each other.
"Long Chen, you damned Netherworld Ghost Blood, come out and fight your Yang Ye."
Three days later, Long Chen and the others felt they were in the best state and were just about to go out for a walk when suddenly the roar of a powerful figure came from outside.
"It's Yang Zicong."
Bai Shishi and the others were stunned. This guy was released?
