Chapter 179 (2/2)

“The stronger the cultivation method, the slower you will advance levels . I’ve known you for this long, but you still haven’t broken through to the late Blood Condensation realm . That says everything .

“All of us are essentially at the peak of Blood Condensation . We’re just waiting for the trial rewards to use Ten Thousand Beast Essence Blood for our final blood condensation . Then we’ll all directly advance to the Muscle Rebirth realm . At that time, your superiority will completely vanish . ”

Only now did Long Chen realize that problem . Currently amongst this group of geniuses, he could be considered a hegemon .

But once everyone entered the Muscle Rebirth realm, let alone the monster-cla.s.s geniuses, even those ordinary inner disciples wouldn’t be much inferior to him in combat strength .

“Furthermore, there aren’t only five new factions in the monastery . ”

“Oh?”

“The Xuantian Monastery is not the same as other sects . Their disciple selection is split across different areas .

“They are split in to the eastern, western, southern, northern, and central areas . We are in the central area . We still don’t know how many core disciples are going to come from the other four areas . So the compet.i.tion will definitely be extremely intense,” explained Tang Wan-er .

This time she really did give Long Chen a fright . Just the thirty thousand people he had seen at the beginning of the trial had been shocking enough .

He really would never have guessed that there were five such places undergoing the trial at the same time . The Xuantian Monastery’s power sphere was far too large .

“So you especially should cultivate as fast as possible . Otherwise your superiority will quickly disappear .

“Fortunately, now that I and sister Zhiqiu have revived our ancestral marks, our bloodline strength is beginning to awaken . The glyph power within our bloodline is becoming stronger with everyday .

“So Lei Qianshang and the others aren’t on the same level as us anymore . But if they had too many people work together, we still wouldn’t be able to defeat them alone . The situation isn’t very optimistic,” said Tang Wan-er .

Long Chen sighed bitterly . He also wanted to cultivate a bit faster, but as his cultivation base rose and his physical body grey stronger, the speed at which he advanced became increasingly slow .

It had already been a month, but his blood essence had yet to completely reach saturation . He had no way to undergo the next blood purification and enter the seventh Heavenstage .

He recalled how difficult it had been for him to break through within the Qi Condensation realm . Now as soon as he reached the mid Blood Condensation realm, his speed had slowed down greatly .

Long Chen had a premonition that the difficulty in breaking through to Muscle Rebirth wouldn’t be any less than when he had broken through to Blood Condensation .

But he was also helpless about that . The technique known as the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art was incredibly profound . He had only seen the tip of the iceberg . He had no idea how to increase his cultivation speed .

According to Long Chen’s estimations, if he could condense the second star, the Alioth Star, then with both stars’ superposition, it would be possible to increase his cultivation speed .

But to condense the Alioth Star required him to refine the Alioth Pill . He had yet to gather many of the Alioth Pill’s required medicinal pills . He could only take it one step at a time .

But Long Chen wasn’t particularly worried about that yet . That was because he still had a trump card . That would be the Flame Salamander’s Neidan he had found on the way here .

As long as he absorbed the Flame Salamander’s Neidan, he would be able to use the existence that was ranked ninety-seventh on the beast flame rankings . If Long Chen could control that beast flame, then with his powerful Spiritual Strength, his combat strength would once more reach a new level .

For now, he would have to put aside the matter of seeing Chu Yao . It was more urgent for him to quickly increase his strength . In Long Chen’s mind, there were two things he needed to do .

First was to gather the ingredients to absorb the Neidan . That was a bit more simple . He was fully confident those ingredients could be gathered within the monastery .

But the other thing he needed to do was gather the medicinal ingredients required for the Alioth Pill . That was more difficult, but it was also absolutely necessary . He would have to gather as much as he could .

The main problem with that which caused Long Chen some panic was that to condense the Alioth Star, he would require a huge number of Alioth Pills .

One or two pills was absolutely nothing, completely unable to completely condense it . Thinking back to how he had used up over a thousand FengFu Pills for the first FengFu Star, he knew he would require an accordingly terrifying number of Alioth Pills .

“You don’t need to be too worried . With me and sister Zhiqiu here, there won’t be any problems for a short time . So you also don’t need to feel that much pressure,” consoled Tang Wan-er when she saw Long Chen just pondering and muttering to himself .

At the same time, she also felt a bit embarra.s.sed . She was the head of their faction, but she had placed the pressure onto him . She couldn’t s.h.i.+ft the responsibility and duty like that .

Originally that pressure should have been hers, but she had a trust and dependance on Long Chen that even she didn’t completely understand . And so she hoped Long Chen could help her .

“Right, what name should we call our faction?” Tang Wan-er purposely changed the subject .

“Peak Tang Gate?”

“No, that name’s too unbridled . And Tang Gate sounds like its my family’s . Something else . ” Tang Wan-er shook her head, clearly not liking that flamboyant name .

“Black Dragon Group?” Long Chen gave another suggestion .

“No, that makes us sounds like a gang of hooligans . It’s not elegant enough . ”

“Then let’s just call it the Peak Tang Black Dragon Group . ”

“Ugh, this is not a joke! Be a bit more serious . ” Why had Tang Wan-er even worried about him feeling too much pressure? This scoundrel basically didn’t even know what it meant to feel pressure .

The two of them discussed it for a while, finally coming up with a both domineering and resounding name just before the sun set: Heaven Earth Faction . Thus Tang Wan-er became the Heaven Earth Faction’s leader .

No one yet knew that from that day on, the Heaven Earth Faction would become a name forever remembered in the history of the Xuantian Monastery .
