When the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was drawn out by the divine ring, the dragon-shaped runes within Long Chen began to slowly awaken. He felt the power within him surging and surging, as if he possessed endless strength.
Long Chen hadn't cultivated for a long time. He hadn't expected such a dramatic change upon arriving at Nieying Heaven, and even he was stunned.
"Nie Ying Heaven ranks second among the Nine Heavens and is currently the most intact world preserved by the Heavenly Dao.
As for the Minghao Heaven and Ziyan Heaven you visited, due to the lack of the Heavenly Dao, your cultivation progress is limited.
This is both a bad thing and a good thing. The bad thing is that your progress slows down, but the benefit is that even in the incomplete Heavenly Dao, you can merge with the power of heaven and earth, keeping your body in a state of hunger and thirst.
When one is within a complete Heavenly Dao, the closeness between the body and the Heavenly Dao rapidly increases—something native powerhouses do not possess.
The path of cultivation is like a race; no one loses at the starting line. Running fast isn't necessarily a good thing, running slowly isn't necessarily bad. In the end, it all depends on who can go farther.
But if you keep being restless and desperately pushing forward, it's easy to overlook important things. The dragon clan expert said.
It meant that Long Chen was too restless, constantly pursuing rapid advancement in power and realm, leaving no time to settle down. This would inevitably cause problems sooner or later.
"I can't help it either. Fate is like an invisible giant hand, pushing me forward.
It feels like there's a rolling millstone behind me—if I stop, it'll crush me. What can I do? I want to slack off, I want to relax. Long Chen said somewhat aggrievedly.
Hearing Long Chen say this, the dragon clan expert fell silent. Suddenly, his eyes shifted as he said to the dragon clan expert, "
Senior, why don't you tell me about the Lord of the Nine Stars? Let me see further and plan for my future. Just like you said, follow the steps step by step."
"Forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything earlier. Don't try to get me into your words." said the dragon clan expert.
Long Chen: "..."
Long Chen tried several times to probe the dragon clan expert, wanting to know more secrets about the Nine Stars, but the dragon clan expert remained tight-lipped, refusing to reveal a single word.
Seeing the dragon clan experts fall silent, Long Chen had no choice but to continue absorbing the spiritual energy from heaven and earth.
At this moment, his body was like a dried-up riverbed, greedily absorbing rain and dew, nourished by spiritual energy. Long Chen felt as if he had become part of the world.
Long Chen had never felt this way before; he was both surprised and delighted. It was as if he had suddenly entered the realm of Heavenly Venerables that merged with heaven and earth.
"Senior, have I reached the level of Celestial Venerable ahead of schedule?" Long Chen exclaimed in surprise.
Because at that moment, Long Chen felt the affinity of heaven and earth. He could use this power without restraint, and with his will, the energy of heaven and earth would wrap around him.
"Whoosh."
Long Chen opened his large hand, and the power of the Heavenly Dao instantly attached to his palm. The void trembled slightly, and that feeling of being at his whim was simply wonderful.
"That's the blessing of the Dragon Spirit of the Heavenly Dao. After the dragon blood lays its eggs, it enters a certain dormant period.
This is also why you have to wait—one reason the dormancy period has passed.
This Dragon Blood Egg, nourished by the spiritual energy of the Heavenly Dao, will transform into the Dragon Spirit Egg. With the Dragon Spirit Egg favored by heaven and earth, you can naturally wield the power of the Heavenly Dao.
Your ability shares some similarities with the power of the Heavenly Dao; the difference lies in strength and weakness.
Although our dragon clan is favored by heaven and earth, we are not known for our arts, so the heavenly Dao favors us and won't give you much help during fierce battles.
It can accelerate the strengthening of your physical body. As for how to harness the power of the Heavenly Dao in battle, I really haven't thought about it. You can study it yourself. The dragon clan expert said.
Only then did Long Chen realize that this was all the effect of the Dragon God's Body Refining Technique. Still, he was overjoyed.
Long Chen opened his inner vision and found that after the Dragon Blood Egg inside him transformed into the Dragon Spirit Egg, it changed from golden to semi-transparent, and it seemed to reveal strange runes inside.
Long Chen cultivated in the closed cultivation chamber for three whole days. Suddenly, his body exploded, the void trembled violently, and spiderweb-like cracks rapidly spread in all directions from Long Chen's center.
"Rumble... The
cultivation ground where Long Chen was located shook violently, the walls cracked, the endless grand formation was burst, the roof burst open, and a beam of golden divine light shot straight into the sky.
At that moment, the resounding dragon's roar echoed across heaven and earth, and Long Chen advanced to the first level of Immortal King.
But the commotion was so loud that Long Chen himself was stunned. This training ground was top-tier, yet it had been blown to pieces by Long Chen.
At this moment, Yu Qingxuan, Guo Ran, Xia Chen, and the others all came over to see what had happened.
When they saw Long Chen's cultivation, they immediately understood. But seeing the shattered cultivation ground, their faces were filled with excitement.
"Boss, you've advanced to the first heaven—that's a huge commotion! Hehe, boss is boss! Now he can lead us to dominate Nie Ying Tian." Guo Ran chuckled.
The stronger Long Chen became, the more excited they became. Just one level of the realm, yet he could unleash such a terrifying aura. Just how powerful would the future boss be?
After recovering from his shock, Long Chen hurriedly apologized to Huayun Trading Company. However, the president chuckled and praised Long Chen's overwhelming strength, saying his aura of a soaring ascension rivaled that of a Human Soaring to Earth Soar.
This made Long Chen feel even more embarrassed, and he secretly resolved not to improve his strength in a closed place anymore.
After advancing to the first level of Immortal King, Long Chen felt his body merge with the Dao. With every gesture and movement, the power of the Heavenly Dao flowed seamlessly, seamlessly integrated, with strength always empowering him. The feeling was simply wonderful.
Long Chen even felt that even when facing a Heavenly Venerable expert, he still had the strength to fight. Right now, he felt as if his whole body was filled with strength.
Although he was only at the first level of Immortal King, Long Chen had received the active support of the power of the Heavenly Dao—something he had never experienced before. This instantly filled him with confidence.
"President, thank you for your warm hospitality these past few days." Long Chen bowed to the president.
"Mr. Long Chen, what are you ...?" The president was shocked.
"Yes, we're leaving." Long Chen said with a smile.
"How can this be? Longteng Trading Company and the Night Clan are both waiting for you? The president's expression changed.
"The path of cultivation is meant to face difficulties head-on. How can we shrink back? Since they miss me, I can't let them wait too long."
After Long Chen finished speaking, no matter how much the president tried to persuade him to stay, he finally walked out of the Huayun Trading Company.
Seeing that he couldn't keep Long Chen from staying, the president hurried to notify the higher-ups. In his view, leaving Long Chen like this was no different from courting death.
As soon as Long Chen stepped out the door, he sensed several strange fluctuations. A sinister smile appeared on his face:
"I can practice my hands now."
