"Rumble rumble..."
Under the watchful eyes of countless Wangyue clan experts, endless thunderclouds rolled and thunder roared, locking onto Yu Qingxuan, who was refining pills.
"Buzz!"
When the furnace lid was lifted, golden light shot up into the sky, piercing the firmament. At that moment, endless thunder roared down, but was swallowed by a massive thunder dragon and did not reach the furnace.
"Golden Core... It's a Golden Core level Starlight Moon God Pill..." The Moon Gazing Clan chief's voice trembled, and some of the older generation experts were even more moved to tears.
For the younger generation of strong cultivators, they didn't understand pills, nor did they know the difference between the spiritual pills they usually took and the golden cores they took today.
"Three top-grade Golden Cores, the rest are top-grade treasure pills, all of excellent quality, already surpassing my usual level. Silver Moon World truly is a treasure trove for pill refining." Yu Qingxuan looked at the pill in her hand, her face full of admiration.
Refining pills here is filled with spiritual energy and the Heavenly Dao is complete, making pill refining twice as effective with half the effort. Alchemists here are truly in their element.
"I ask the clan leader to judge."
Long Chen took the Starlight Moon God Pill from Yu Qingxuan and handed it to the Wangyue Clan chief.
The Moonwatching Clan chief reached out with both hands, carefully taking the pill. When he sensed the medicinal energy fluctuations inside the pill, hundreds of times stronger than usual, his hands trembled with excitement.
Other elder strongmen of the Moonwatching Clan also gathered around. When they got their hands on the pills, their excitement was impossible to hide.
"Long Chen, if you can provide a large quantity of Starlight Moon God Pills, my Moonwatching Clan will be your most loyal ally. As long as you don't violate the ancestral teachings, I'm willing to go through fire and water for you." The Wangyue clan chief took a deep breath and spoke solemnly.
He had to be solemn. The Moonwatching Clan had been stuck for countless years because of pills, from glory to decline. Now, seeing hope, he had to seize this opportunity.
"Chief, you flatter me. Alchemy isn't much to us. From now on, the pills of the Moonwatching Clan will be entrusted to me." Long Chen said.
In fact, Long Chen was overjoyed. With the Wangyue clan backing him, Long Chen finally had a foothold in Nieying Heaven.
"What clan leader? That sounds too distant. My name is Xu Jianxiong. From now on, just call me Uncle Xiong.
From today onward, we are one family. What you have with Long Chen is a matter for my Moonwatching Clan. Xu Jianxiong patted his chest and said.
"Thank you, Uncle Xiong." Long Chen cupped his fists and said.
Seeing that Long Chen didn't refuse, Xu Jianxiong laughed heartily and said, "Hahaha, since we're family, let's not use 'thank you' anymore. It would sound too unconventional." "
As the clan leader, Xu Jianxiong's skill in observing people was superior to others. Although he didn't know Long Chen well, through his secret observations over the past two days, he could discern his general character.
Long Chen was an extremely proud person deep down, highly committed to promises, and rarely willing to owe favors. Such a person is hard to befriend, but once befriended, he is a partner you can entrust your life and death to.
Long Chen also had a good impression of the Moonwatching Clan. Most importantly, the fact that the Great Brahma Heaven was infiltrating the Moonwatching Moon Clan meant that the Moonwatching Moon Clan was definitely not part of the Great Brahma Heaven's faction—they were very reliable and trustworthy.
For a moment, the entire Moonwatching Clan was thrown into celebration. With the pill, they would no longer be choked, and from then on, the Moonwatching Clan would rise rapidly.
"Uncle Xiong, this matter requires absolute secrecy," Long Chen said....
"Don't worry, I've already passed this information on to the Ancestral Spirit Totem. No one in the Moonwatching Clan can reveal this secret, not even soul searches can find it." Xu Jianxiong said.
Only then did Long Chen understand that some factions use this method to keep secrets, which explains why his soul searches often yield nothing.
"Long Chen, I heard you don't want the three worlds we conquered. This is the forbidden zone controlled by our Moonwatching Clan. See where you like it, and we'll study it together." Xu Jianxiong directly took out a map; he was even more anxious than Long Chen now.
He hoped Long Chen could stay peacefully in the Moonwatching Clan and refine pills for them, because the clan had a huge shortage of pills.
The sooner the clan members use the pills, the sooner they can start. They are racing against time, which concerns the future of the Moonwatching Clan.
When he took out the map, Long Chen saw a black river. This river was the Forbidden Zone of Life, and the location of the Moonwatching Clan was only a section of the Forbidden Zone.
According to the Moonwatching Clan, they guarded this area to fulfill their promise, so it bears a special mark that only they can control.
Within this area, there were hundreds of silver moon marks, but only three of them were bright, meaning these three worlds were under their control; the rest were all in a desolate state.
"Uncle Xiong, this moon is bigger than the others. Is there anything special about it?" Long Chen pointed to a moon marker.
When Long Chen pointed to the moon marker, Xu Jianxiong and the others' expressions changed slightly: "Don't even think about this place. It's a desolate world, and inside is a seal forged by the ancestors of the Moonwatching Clan with their lives."
Once the seal is broken, the Gate to the Dark World will open. At that time, not only will our Moonwatching Clan be instantly destroyed, but the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths may also be wiped out. "
Is it that serious?" Long Chen couldn't help but gasp sharply.
"Rumor has it that the Chaos War was caused by someone opening the Gate of Darkness, which led to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths being half destroyed.
Now, in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, the Heavenly Dao is incomplete, and the myriad races have declined. If we open the Dark Gate, we don't have the strength of the Chaos Era and will be destroyed in an instant. Xu Jianxiong said solemnly.
"The Moon Gazing Clan guards the Forbidden Zone of Life just to protect this sealed world?" Long Chen asked.
"Exactly."
"Isn't Great Brahma afraid of provoking you all and just throwing it all in? No one else should cross, just open the seal?" Long Chen couldn't help but say.
"He's not afraid, because he knows our Moonwatching Clan will keep their promise. Even if it costs us death, we must protect the seal." Xu Jianxiong sighed, his tone filled with endless anger and helplessness.
Long Chen really wanted to ask who the Moonwatching Clan had promised to them, but since this might involve their secret, it was better not to ask. However, the Moonwatcher Clan could remain here for generations for a promise, which truly earned genuine respect.
Long Chen looked at the map, his eyes sweeping over all the moons. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he pointed to a spot, saying, "
How about here?"
When Xu Jianxiong and the others saw where Long Chen was pointing, their faces showed strange expressions. Xu Jianxiong sighed and said, "
Why don't you change places? Even if we gather all our clan strength, we can't take that place."
