and the Heavenly Wilderness easily remind people of another term, called 'Earth Elder,' usually used to describe the steadfastness and endurance of love, which can withstand the test of time.
However, the Tianhuang Domain of Emperor Heaven, called the Tianhuang Domain, is not a desolate world; it is surrounded by the sea on three sides, with only one direction for entry and exit.
The sea it borders is not an ordinary sea, but a demonic sea. It is said that all demonic seas within the nine heavens are interconnected.
When the world's barriers disappear, you can travel along the demon sea across the heavens and earths, provided you can defeat the terrifying sea monsters and sea monsters in the deep sea. However, so far, no one has been able to sail freely on the demon sea.
Long Chen had sailed the Demon Sea countless times, but almost every voyage brought great danger. Although he managed to get through each time safely, facing the boundless Demon Sea, even Long Chen felt fear.
Because no one knows what is hidden beneath this endless ocean, as if a sky-shaking mouth could swallow you at any moment.
Just like the sea whale Long Chen encountered back then, as huge as a whole world. If it were devoured by it, even an emperor-level expert would probably be reduced to whale dung.
Long Chen dared to cross the Demon Sea elsewhere, but here, he chose to take a slight detour and enter through the entrance.
Tianhuang is not a wild land; in fact, many people come here, cultivators of all levels—some riding carriages, some riding flying pets, and some walking barefoot.
By the time Long Chen arrived at the edge of Tianhuang, it had already been half a month. The journey was extremely long, requiring him to pass through several areas inhabited by monsters. Even Long Chen had to be extremely cautious, afraid of alerting the terrifying monsters deep within.
You have to know, in several places, Long Chen sensed fluctuations that made his hair stand on end. He was absolutely certain that this was a being at the level of the Vice Hall Master of the Fire God Hall—someone Long Chen definitely couldn't afford to provoke.
Although it took some time, being able to arrive here within half a month meant everything was on track.
In fact, Long Chen could find nearby cities and teleport to save at least half the time, but he couldn't do that.
He and Mo Nian had killed the deputy hall master of the Fire God Hall. Such a major incident would surely enrage the Fire God Temple and would surely notify the spies of all major cities. Long Chen wasn't afraid of them, but rather that wasting time to deal with them wasn't worth it.
Besides, he came to Tianhuang for the Niechong Pill, so it's better to keep this matter secret, otherwise it will affect his herb-gathering progress.
At the boundary of Tianhuang, the rolling mountains towered into the clouds, but in the middle was a huge gap—a natural gateway where most travelers chose to enter and exit.
Because climbing high mountains means encountering terrifying fierce winds, and speeding at such heights consumes a great deal of energy, so no one does it.
Most importantly, this portal is free to enter and exit; no one charges fees, and no identities are checked.
At the entrance, although quite a few people were on duty, they were on duty at the teleportation array there. If they wanted to quickly enter the first border city of the Tianhuang Domain, they could pay for teleportation, saving half a day.
Of course, not using the teleportation array is not forced; it is prepared for those who want to save time, and first-time visitors to the Tianhuang Domain usually choose to walk inside.
Because in Emperor Heaven, many regions have unique geographical locations, and their laws differ somewhat from the outside world.
Walking inside allows your body to gradually adapt to the rules here; otherwise, entering recklessly can cause severe discomfort for some people who are sensitive.
The moment Long Chen, dressed in black, slowly walked into the Tianhuang Domain, his body trembled slightly, and the Seven-Colored Supreme Blood within him suddenly became extremely active.
"It seems the Tianhuang Domain is indeed hiding some secret. Father came here for a reason." Long Chen felt the active Seven-Colored Supreme Blood within his body and couldn't help but mutter to himself.
The seven-colored Supreme blood fluctuated, which meant his entanglement with the Long family was inseparable, since his bloodline came from the Long family.
But for some reason, Long Chen was extremely repulsed by this kind of connection. He even wished his father would be an ordinary person and have nothing to do with this family.
"Hey, little brother, is this your first time in the Tianhuang Domain? Is it to seek relatives, or to take risks? As soon as Long Chen appeared, people surrounded him.
Long Chen ignored the man. People like this were almost always scammers. Seeing Long Chen alone and looking young, they thought he was a rookie just starting out. If Long Chen showed confusion or nervousness, they would immediately set a trap, and in the end, they'd be deceived so badly that they might lose everything, even losing their lives.
There are too many such incidents. Scammers are despicable, but they are also an important part of the law of survival of the fittest. Most people's growth history is a history of being scammed.
Long Chen remembered Mo Nian once said a very classic line, which seemed to come back on the Tianwu Continent: 'Inexperience' means that we can't fool people now, nor are we strong enough to make it in the martial world.
Scammers are hateful, but once those deceived grow up, they will immediately eliminate those who deceived them.
"Brother, I see you have great talent and an exceptional physique. I have a channel here to send you into the Long family. If you perform well, you might have a chance to become an outer disciple of the Long family!" Another person ran over and said enthusiastically.
This person wore a white robe, with dragon-shaped patterns painted on the collar and cuffs—a unique symbol of the Long family disciples. Their attire was exactly the same as those standing before the teleportation array.
But Long Chen only glanced at it and immediately recognized that this guy was an imposter. The clothes on his clothes weren't dragons, but flood dragons—just trying to pass the bill.
Originally, Long Chen didn't plan to pay attention to this person, but he said, "If you perform well, you might have a chance to become an outer disciple of the Long family!" Long Chen couldn't help but burst out laughing.
How far must I fall to become an outer disciple of the Long family? This is simply the biggest joke.
Seeing Long Chen smile, the man thought he had a chance and immediately tried even harder to persuade him, even covering his mouth with his hand to laugh:
"Brother, we have internal ties with the Long family. Do you see the disciples around the teleportation array over there?"
"Are they the ones you sent in?" Long Chen couldn't help but ask.
"Of course, but three of them were sent in by me, the rest were not. They broke in on their own strength.
Brother, I see your talent is pretty good, and your cultivation is decent. You don't meet the requirements for an entry-level disciple, but we can use our connections to help you with some work. What do you think?" The man said seriously.
Long Chen curled his lips. The next step was to test his assets, to pick up a suitable price from his words and drain Long Chen.
That person possessed the cultivation of a Divine Venerable at the fifth level, but his aura fluctuations were ridiculously weak, even weaker than a Realm King at the fifth level. It was obvious he had used some inferior pills to exhaust his future and forcibly advanced his realm.
In other words, this realm was the ceiling of his lifetime; he would never make any progress again, no wonder he engaged in such a thing.
Just as Long Chen was about to speak, suddenly, several disciples of the Long family walked over and surrounded Long Chen and the man.
