Inside the grand hall, the members of the Dragonblood Legion had all left, leaving only Bai Letian, the Hall Master, and hundreds of immortal experts.
"Dean, I think Director Long Chen knows too much. The pressure is too great, and it's not a good thing for him." An immortal powerhouse said with a worried expression.
"Yes, by age, they're still kids. Logically, they should be at their peak and rebellious.
But whether it was Long Chen or those Dragonblood warriors, each was too premature, enduring a maturity and steadiness their age shouldn't have. Another immortal expert also sighed.
The dean shook his head and said, "There's nothing we can do. They all truly grew up from hardship."
Whether it was Long Chen or those Dragonblood warriors, they were all without support. Their cultivation path was full of thorns and dangers, every step perilous. Every stretch had to be handled with utmost caution, as if standing on an abyss or walking on thin ice.
Shishi and Xiaole are with them, just like two kids who haven't grown up yet—that's the difference.
No one is a child holding an umbrella; they can only run desperately in the rain. If they run, they live; if they can't, they die. The cultivation is cruel and helpless. He
knew better than anyone about Long Chen's fate. Behind his strength lay unimaginable hardship and pain. The world only saw his splendid attire, but never the mountains of corpses and seas of blood he had walked behind him.
"So, I'm worried that Dean Long Chen won't achieve the effect we want. Unfortunately, we have countless arrogant and overbearing talents, but their strength can't support their arrogance.
Dean Long Chen is powerful, but too mature, seemingly past the age of arrogance and domineering. I wonder if he ..." an immortal expert said with concern.
"Right now, the human race lacks confidence in their eyes and their hearts are in chaos. If we don't create a human hero, the will of humanity will sooner or later be worn down by these chaotic phenomena.
All the major worlds are eyeing our Lingxiao Academy hungrily, and the Great Brahma Heaven is lurking in the shadows. Our academy can no longer remain silent.
In times of crisis, opportunities arise. Many human forces are secretly accumulating strength and enduring without acting.
Because they knew that the world's first target was our Lingxiao Academy. As long as Lingxiao Academy didn't fall, they had no reason to worry.
They can develop peacefully, but we cannot. We must fight back strongly to gain more initiative.
The reason so many of us came here is to give Dean Long Chen confidence. There's no need to hesitate or hesitate—he'll just make a fuss and make a big fuss.
However, the look in Dean Long Chen's eyes as he left was truly hard to read, and it was unclear whether he could let loose. "Deputy Hall Master Lei said helplessly.
"You're all worrying unnecessarily."
At that moment, the Hall Master spoke. Everyone looked at him, and the Hall Master said calmly,
"You don't know him well. Long Chen is actually someone who doesn't like to think things through; he prefers simple violence in his actions."
Only when his own strength was insufficient did he have to count the number of steps to analyze the situation between friend and foe, aiming to gain the greatest benefit at the least cost.
Because Long Chen was always in adversity, he had to be frugal; otherwise, he would have died long ago.
Now that we have his back, he knows better than anyone what we want. You worry he won't make a big scene, but I'm the opposite—I'm afraid he'll make a big deal and we won't be able to control it. "
This ..."
The immortal experts present exchanged glances, and for a moment, the entire hall fell silent.
...
Three days later, Long Chen was the first to emerge from seclusion. All his injuries had healed. Although he was the most seriously injured, the life force of the chaotic space made his recovery very fast.
According to Long Chen's estimate, the reason he took so long to recover from his injury was because he was wounded by the power of a Saint.
If he hadn't fought the red-haired monster, the damage inflicted by those immortal powerhouses would have been insignificant.
However, this also served as a reminder to Long Chen: in the future, he must not be careless when encountering a Saint, or he might really fall into their hands.
At this moment, Long Chen's strength had fully recovered, and after continuous fierce battles, his life instinct was deeply pierced. His realm had actually advanced from the initial Realm King realm to the first level of the Realm King realm.
"What a pity, I've been too busy lately and don't have enough pills. Otherwise, with the help of pills and the thrill of battle, I might have broken through to the third heaven, or even the fourth heaven." Long Chen felt a bit frustrated.
Because Long Chen had taken too many pills, he developed a huge drug resistance. Only under the stimulation of a life-and-death battle could he better activate the medicinal properties within his body, missing a chance for rapid improvement.
But Long Chen also had his own helplessness. Although alchemy didn't require him to worry, having Huo Ling'er and the Qiankun Cauldron was enough.
But Huo Ling'er was one of his trump cards for survival; she had to maintain her strongest condition to face unpredictable dangers.
In such circumstances, alchemy would affect Huo Ling'er's condition. Although alchemy was important, it was even more crucial than the battles in the Great Wilderness Realm and the Unmanned Realm, so Huo Ling'er had never refined pills.
After coming out of seclusion, Long Chen immediately immersed his mind into the chaotic space and began refining the Realm King Pill together with Huo Ling'er.
"Buzz" The
Qiankun Cauldron trembled, countless runes lit up, divine light flowing, sacred and solemn. Long Chen couldn't help but be speechless:
"Let me help you fight, just pretend to sleep. But when it's time for pill refining, you perk up."
The runes on the Qiankun Cauldron often ignored Long Chen at all. Only when Long Chen was refining pills did it become willing to communicate with him. Under his control, it seemed unwilling to communicate with Long Chen except for alchemy.
"Heavenly Realm Grass,"
"Root of Ten Thousand Calamities,"
"Calico Fruit,"
"Wuwang Water Lotus"
"By the way, Wuwang Water Lotus can be replaced with the Demon-Eye Water Lily, which works even better. While
counting the rare herbs, Long Chen suddenly remembered that the main ingredient could be replaced by a seventh-grade Demon Eye Water Lily. The seventh-grade Demon Eye Water Lily is equivalent to a Heavenly Venerable-level Demon Eye Water Lily.
Speaking of Wuwang Water Lotus, Long Chen suddenly thought of Lian Wuying. Back at the Saint King Arena, Long Chen defeated Lian Wuying, who eventually transformed into a lotus seed and was stored in the chaotic space by Long Chen and buried in the ground.
Later, Long Chen completely forgot about it, because after ascending to Realm King, the chaotic space suddenly expanded dozens of times. Its expansion was different from before. The three thousand Taiyin Trees and the ancient Fusang trees seemed alive, beginning to dominate their own territories.
Each of them searched for their own position, keeping a certain distance from the other trees, as if arranging themselves according to some kind of formation.
The place where Long Chen planted the Lotus Shadow seed was now occupied by an ancient Fusang tree, and the original lotus pond was gone.
This time, Long Chen thought of them and began searching. Later, in a dark corner of the chaotic world, he saw a black divine pool.
Inside the divine pool, there were already tens of thousands of demonic lotuses, each oneTowering tens of thousands of miles, they still seemed insignificant in front of the massive Taiyin Wood. If Long Chen hadn't deliberately sought them out, he wouldn't have known they were hiding in a corner and secretly growing.
"Wow, they're all seventh-grade demon-eye water lotuses. Now, hehe, I'm going to refine a super-top-grade Realm King Pill."
Long Chen was overjoyed, picked all the lotus seeds in one go, and immediately started a fire to refine the pill.
