"Sweeping across the four seas and crossing a thousand mountains, the world and sky stir with waves—who can withstand the supreme divine might? Among the peerless heroes are Guo Ran and Xia Chen. What do you think of my new entrance poem? Does the charm match my current status and temperament? The
flying boat sailed calmly through the void, while Guo Ran inside the vessel recited his new work with a proud expression.
"Forget it. Your lousy poem has never changed since the first two lines of the Tianwu Continent. In the Immortal Realm, there are no four seas, no thousand mountains.
If you don't have that talent, let's not show such a big face. What do you and that guy Mo Nian have to learn from? Xia Chen said somewhat speechlessly.
Guo Ran put all his effort into making this doggerel. Over the years, only the last two lines were repeatedly rewritten and altered, making it sound as if he was very knowledgeable, which made them feel extremely awkward.
"That won't do. If you don't have enough strength, just use your stubbornness to make up for it. Otherwise, by the boss's side, you'll lose your presence."
Don't let people remember only the eldest son's name and not even know who we are—that would hurt our feelings.
It doesn't matter if the poem is bad or not, hehe, as long as it's sexy enough! Guo Ran said without a care.
"If you're just looking for attention, then it's fine. After all, there aren't many people in the world who can write such terrible poetry.
Most importantly, to shamelessly sing out loud is unprecedented and unmatched. Just for this alone, I believe many people will remember you. After all, shamelessness to this level is not something ordinary people can achieve. Xia Chen said.
"Hehe, when it comes to shamelessness, I really admire Mo Nian. This guy is truly shameless. On this path, I still need to learn more from him." Guo Ran shamelessly chuckled.
Xia Chen was speechless. No wonder this guy was so shameless—turns out he always wanted to compare himself to Mo Nian. These two flamboys were truly unmatched.
"Fly slowly, there's a turn ahead. Let's go to the city to collect rent." Guo Ran chuckled.
"Boom!"
The flying boat stopped above the void. Xia Chen and Guo Ran charged into the city. Xia Chen flicked his hand and cast a talisman, piercing through the Longteng Trading Company's grand formation.
Guo Ran smashed the Longteng Trading Company building with a single punch, seizing the treasury in the most violent way, then turned and left. In just a few blinks, the robbery was complete.
"All work, nonsense!"
Guo Ran succeeded and immediately called Xia Chen. The two returned to the flying boat. As the ship trembled, it traced an arrogant arc through the void, made a magnificent turn, and left arrogantly amid the curses of the Longteng Trading Company's experts.
From making a move to leaving, the movements were so skilled it was jaw-dropping. The city's experts still hadn't figured out what was happening, but the flying boat had already flown far away, leaving only the furious Longteng Trading Company and the bewildered crowd.
"Following the old rules, each takes what they need. Start counting your own, leaving the unused ones for the boss." Inside the flying boat, Xia Chen and Guo Ran began to get busy.
This was already the seventieth Longteng Trading Company they had robbed. Mainly because Xia Chen brought nothing at the Lingwen Pavilion and everything was about to start over, making Longteng Trading Company his main source of income.
After robbing more than seventy trading companies in succession, the two had already made a fortune and were extremely wealthy. However, even so, Xia Chen still lacked quite a few valuable materials.
However, Long Chen said they should plunder as much as they want, and any missing materials would be replenished later at Huayun Trading Company.
Guo Ran and Xia Chen had been arrogant along the way. The formations of Longteng Trading Company were practically useless before Xia Chen, and breaking through them was effortless.
Moreover, Xia Chen used the array disk to probe the location of the Longteng Trading Company's treasury. Every time he checked, he was accurate. Guo Ran activated his Supreme Arm, violently dismantled it, and left with the treasury. The two worked together seamlessly, at their peak, robbing twelve trading houses in a single day, leaving them thoroughly satisfied.
Xia Chen quickly emerged from Gongsun Ziyi's shadow. Together with Guo Ran, the two of them were like money lovers, busy every day robbing and dividing the loot, happily working together.
Meanwhile, Long Chen had been busy refining and tasting pills inside the flying boat. He could already sense that the Nether Gate Star was about to turn purple, and once the Star turned purple, it could condense the seventh star, the Purple Que Star.
Half a month later, the flying boat stopped atop a deep mountain. Suddenly, Long Chen let out a furious roar, purple energy erupted around him, and the violent force shattered the mountains, sending surging waves of energy that washed over heaven and earth.
Long Chen's sixth star finally completed its purple transformation. After the Dark Gate Star turned purple, a purple vortex appeared beneath Long Chen's dantian. As the vortex appeared, the purple energy of the six stars continuously poured into the vortex.
That vortex was like a mouth that would never be full, wildly devouring the six-star purple energy. Not only that, but even the purple clouds appearing around the hundred and eight thousand stars were swallowed by it.
Long Chen was startled. He hadn't expected that condensing the seventh star would require such terrifying energy. The purple energy of the six stars and the aura within the nebula were all absorbed by it. And that wasn't all—the six stars—Feng Mansion, Yu Heng, Siming, Gong Qi, Shen Guan, and Mingmen—began to contract rapidly, as if showing signs of shriveling.
At the same time, the 108,000 stars began to show signs of decline. Long Chen was greatly shocked. How could the Seventh Star be so greedy, frantically absorbing all the power of the stars?
Just as Long Chen was worried that the Seventh Star might destroy all the stars, it finally stopped devouring, and the purple vortex began to slowly rotate in reverse.
"Buzz buzz buzz... The
six stars—Feng Mansion, Yu Heng, Siming, Gong Qi, Shen Guan, and Mingmen—had been weak and weak, but as the purple vortex reversed its rotation, the power they output was sent back.
At the same time, the hundred-eight thousand stars also became vibrant. Purple clouds reappeared in the sea of stars, and everything returned to its original state. In that moment, the sea seemed to come alive, rhythmically moving in a mysterious rhythm.
Below Long Chen's dantian, the purple vortex slowly dissipated. At its core, a grain-sized purple orb of light appeared. Though small, it seemed to contain endless power.
Within this grain-sized orb of light, endless purple energy flowed. Its appearance brought vibrant vitality to Long Chen's body.
Long Chen didn't need to deliberately operate it himself; the purple energy automatically filled his entire body, flowing through his limbs and bones, nourishing every inch of his flesh and blood.
Previously, to use purple energy, he had to communicate with the star sea first, but today, wherever his intention went, the purple energy followed.
The amount of purple energy inside Long Chen began to decrease, but in terms of quality, there was a shocking difference. Previously, his purple energy was like a single finger's hemp rope, capable of lifting a thousand jin of weight, but now his purple energy was as thin as a silkworm's silk, yet it could lift a load of ten thousand jin.
"Zique Star, you're finally out. Hehe, now that we're going to Jiuyou Island, we'll have confidence." Long Chen clenched his fists, feeling the powerful purple energy within him, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
"Let's go, destination is Jiuyou Island."
