Chapter 1078: 1078

“The so-called h.e.l.l said in stories is just a name . In reality, it is a spatial crevice between two worlds . It is the crossing zone between the Martial Heaven Continent and the Netherworld . Some creatures that die will have their souls drawn into the Netherworld-” The Xuan Master suddenly shut his mouth when he reached this point . “I can’t tell you too much right now . With your current power, touching the Heavenly Daos too early will draw karma for you . ”

Long Chen’s heart shook . The Netherworld? Wasn’t that a place of stories, where souls went after a person died?

“The devil beasts you fight in the Infernal Devil Abyss are lifeforms that exist in the crevice between two worlds . The Martial Heaven Continent actually has countless spatial channels . The various large powers are all guarding those channels secretly . So although this world seems very peaceful, in reality, there is a great deal of internal trouble and external enemies .

“Fortunately, the devil beasts that come from there have a trace of yuan spiritual energy in their crystal cores . We can purify them to help Foundation Forging disciples cultivate . Once you kill the devil beasts, people will come to clean up the battlefield and gather their crystal cores . They’ll give them to the sect to be refined, and a portion of them will be available for sale to Foundation Forging disciples, while a portion will be put out for sale to other sects .

“It can be said that defending the Infernal Devil Abyss has its drawbacks and advantages . It is a responsibility and a burden, but also good work . ”

“Disciple understands . Xuan Master, can disciple brazenly ask you something?” said Long Chen after a long moment of hesitation .

“For even you to say that it’s brazen, it seems it must not be small . Ask,” said the Xuan Master, involuntarily laughing . For Long Chen to say he was about to do something brazen was almost a joke .

Long Chen couldn’t help being embarra.s.sed . But he thickened his skin and said, “Forgive disciple for his rudeness, but I want to know, if someone covets my secrets in the Dao Sect, will you, the Xuan Master, come out and protect me?”

Although he didn’t know what this Xuan Master was thinking, he could sense his good intentions . The Nine Star Hegemon Body Art definitely wouldn’t make such a mistake .

However, even if he had good intentions, Long Chen needed a promise from him . Otherwise, he would have no confidence in an existence that he couldn’t comprehend . People like him schemed so deeply . Long Chen was too lazy to do the same thing .

The Xuan Master smiled . “Don’t worry, as long as the Dao Sect is within your heart and you don’t betray the sect, then let alone someone in the Xuantian Dao Sect, even if someone in the Martial Heaven Continent dares to touch you, I will help . ”

“Many thanks, Xuan Master . ” Long Chen was delighted, and he respectfully bowed .

For the Xuan Master to say that he would personally help meant that even if the Xuantian Dao Sect was unable to help him in name due to its politics, the Xuan Master himself would come out . That was what made him the most grateful, as well as what raised his confidence the most .

This was the thing that had made him the happiest since arriving in the Central Plains . He immediately felt much more a.s.sured .

“Xuan Master, I have two brothers and a lover…”

“They are still in the Xuantian Catalog comprehending their Dao-paths . The Xuantian Catalog is actually a transformed portion of the Heavenly Daos . A person will only get one chance to comprehend the Xuantian Catalog in their lifetime . They are searching for their own inheritances within the Xuantian Catalog . It is an immense opportunity, but once they come out, they won’t be able to go back in . Most people are unable to enter the actual catalog when comprehending it, but you repeatedly entered over and over . Now, your fate with it has come to an end . It’s not that I don’t want to allow you to enter again, but that you can’t,” explained the Xuan Master .

Only now did Long Chen understand that things in the Xuantian Catalog weren’t as simple as he had thought . He couldn’t help but feel regretful that he hadn’t obtained any lightning inheritance .

Seeing that there was nothing more to ask, he bid farewell to the Xuan Master and left . When he left his door, he realized he was in the inner sect plaza . He didn’t even know where the Xuan Master’s private room was .

When he appeared in the plaza, all the people there jumped in fright . Long Chen ignored those people and returned directly to Crouching Dragon Mountain .

Once he was there, all of Crouching Dragon Mountain erupted into wild cheering .

Only then did Long Chen learn that the Dragonblood Legion had taken first place in the compet.i.tion . Each ninth rank devil beast was equivalent to ten million points, which shocked Long Chen . The ninth rank devil beasts he had killed had added up to four hundred million points . Adding on the devil beasts slain by others, they almost reached six hundred million and placed first .

Second place was the Heaven Female Alliance . They had half their number of points . The reason they had taken second was all because of Long Chen .

He had killed quite a few of the top experts of the Flame Gate, Divine Beast Mansion, and Hegemon Hall . Once they were killed, the points they had earned were gone as well .

Third place was the Ten Thousand Insect Guild . Fourth was the Divine Beast Mansion, fifth was the Hegemon Hall, and last was the Flame Gate .

The Flame Gate’s leader, Que Xinyan, had been killed by Long Chen . The Flame Gate had disbanded, which caused all its disciples to be dumbfounded . They didn’t know what to do .
