The Heavenly Gate appeared, covering the entire Purple Flame Heavenly Capital. It was a massive portal, but it had just appeared and was still in its early stages.
According to historical records, it takes about ten days for the Heavenly Gate to fully form, and it also takes a certain amount of time for it to open.
In other words, it would still take some time before the Three Thousand Worlds opened, but the prodigies here were starting to lose patience.
After the Heavenly Gate appeared, many other factions from various regions still had powerful figures arriving one after another due to long distances or poor news.
Long Chen returned to the tavern and drank with Xia Guhong. Because of the matter involving Eunuch Wei, Long Chen was holding back his anger. Now Yu Qingxuan must be hiding far away to avoid conflict with Eunuch Wei.
"The Butterfly Spirit Clan has treated you so well, bestowing your fortune and divine radiance. It seems that entering the Three Thousand Worlds this time, you should achieve great things." Seeing Long Chen sit down with a displeased expression, Xia Guhong smiled and said.
"Fortune Radiance."
Long Chen was stunned; he felt nothing at all. But when he used his sensing power, he discovered that behind him appeared a pair of invisible wings. These wings were invisible and intangible; if Xia Guhong hadn't reminded him, he wouldn't have noticed them himself.
"Fortune Radiance is a secret technique unique to the Butterfly Spirit clan. When empowered upon someone, even if they are a truly evil person, they will receive the favor of the Heavenly Dao and enjoy continuous good luck.
However, the Divine Fortune Radiance is not something to be used recklessly; they are essentially giving their luck to you. Once they enter the Three Thousand Worlds, they lose the blessing of fortune, which may increase the danger. You must protect them as much as possible. "Xia Guhong reminded him.
After Xia Guhong's reminder, Long Chen realized that the kind-hearted Butterfly Spirit Clan had made such a great sacrifice for him. He was both moved and ashamed.
Long Chen apologized for his rudeness, then ran to Guo Ran and Xia Chen's stall, telling Xia Chen not to sell talismans anymore. Instead, he could tailor some life-saving talismans for the Butterfly Spirit clan, and also refined some of the best pills for them.
"Boss!"
Just as Long Chen and the other two were discussing matters, someone suddenly rushed out and grabbed Long Chen tightly.
When Long Chen and the others saw that person, they were overjoyed. "Yue Shan."
That man was a sergeant major from the First Legion of the Dragon Blood Legion and a capable assistant to Gu Yang.
"Boss, I-I finally see you. That's wonderful, wonderful!" Yue Shan saw Long Chen, Guo Ran, and Xia Chen. This iron-blooded man burst into tears, overwhelmed with emotion.
"Good brother, don't cry. We've met as brothers, and we'll never be apart again." Guo Ran gave Yue Shan a hearty hug to comfort him.
Long Chen examined Yue Shan's body and found that he was not yet a first-generation powerhouse, but his vitality was still astonishing. Especially his gaze, sharp as blades, radiating endless wild aura. Clearly, after ascending to the Immortal Realm, he must have endured countless perilous battles to possess such a fierce aura.
"Well done! Not a single coward from my Dragonblood Legion has come out. Even if they're not the first, they can sweep through the first." Long Chen patted Yue Shan firmly on the shoulder, his eyes full of admiration.
For others, resources may come first, talent second, because even a clever housewife can't cook without rice—without money, everything is in vain.
But resources and talent meant nothing to Long Chen. What he valued most was the innate resilience of the Dragonblood Warrior and the will to never bow to fate.
Yue Shan is like this now: without talent or resources, he can still fight his way here with willpower. Once combined with Long Chen's resources, he will soar and soar to the sky.
Long Chen never expected to run into someone of his own at this moment. Previously, when he had made a name for himself, no one had come forward to acknowledge him. Long Chen had thought that no Dragonblood Warriors would arrive in this area.
After some inquiry, Long Chen learned that Yue Shan had no backing in the Immortal Realm. He had sought refuge with the sect several times, but each time he was ostracized and killed in a fit of rage. Not only was he not valued by the sect, but he was also hunted down by the sect.
It can be said that over the past year, Yue Shan had grown through pursuit and killing, narrowly escaping death countless times, honing astonishing spiritual perception and a will to kill. Although he was no longer even the first generation, very few Realm King Realm experts could threaten his life, which was enough to prove his formidability.
Because he was a wandering cultivator, his information was not as reliable as others', and because he was in a remote area without good tools, he traveled a long distance to get here, so he was much slower than others, which is why he only arrived now.
When the brothers met, everyone was delighted. Long Chen directly gave Yue Shan a Heavenly Dao Fruit, first letting him awaken the Heavenly Dao bloodline.
Unfortunately, Yue Shan was a water-element cultivator, and Long Chen's Supreme Heavenly Dao Fruit milk was fire-elemental. Water and fire were incompatible, so he couldn't absorb it. If he forced himself to absorb it, he might end up ruined. He could only wait and see if he could obtain a Supreme Heavenly Dao Fruit that matched his attributes.
As soon as Yue Shan arrived, he immediately reminded Long Chen that not all Dragonblood warriors were doing as well as they were. Many might arrive later, so Long Chen asked Guo Ran to take Yue Shan, carrying the Dragonblood Legion's banner, to roam around and see if they could encounter other Dragonblood warriors.
Long Chen and Xia Chen began working hard for the Butterfly Spirit clan. Long Chen refined some pills, such as healing pills, detoxification pills, soul-nourishing pills, and so on—all useful to the Butterfly Spirit clan.
Xia Chen helped them engrave the best life-saving runes. The women of the Butterfly Spirit clan were innocent and carefree, completely unaware of how precious these things were. When Long Chen gave them gifts, they happily accepted them. Long Chen and Xia Chen also taught them how to use them, when to use them, and some techniques.
During this period, more and more people flooded into Purple Flame Heavenly Capital. Those who came in later were basically human powerhouses, with very few other clansmen.
At this time, the powerful ones who arrived were either rogue cultivators or disciples from small factions or sects. After all, powerful sects would arrive immediately.
Guo Ran and Yue Shan wandered back and forth among the crowd, and Long Chen actually got it right. Not every Dragon Blood Warrior made it out like them. In ten days, they found a total of eighteen Dragon Blood Warriors.
They were basically like Yue Shan—either rogue cultivators or accompanying sect experts. The sect's strength was extremely weak, and some sects even had only mid-stage Realm King cultivation to protect them.
When the eighteen Dragonblood warriors were together, each one was overjoyed. After the fall of the mortal realm, it was their first reunion in the Immortal Realm. That feeling was simply beyond words.
Although they had only found eighteen people, Long Chen and the others were still thrilled, because they knew that the entrances to the Three Thousand Worlds were spread everywhere. If so many people could be found here, there would surely be many others entering the other entrances, possibly no fewer than Ziyan Tian.
Long Chen had asked Xia Guhong. It was said that there should be more than five entrances to Ziyan Heaven alone, and Ziyan Heaven was just one of them.
Among the eighteen people, one warrior happened to be a fire-attribute cultivator. Long Chen directly gave him the Supreme Heavenly Dao Fruit, but to conceal it, Long Chen did not let him consume it immediately, but waited until after entering the Three Thousand Worlds before eating it.
